ok ten seconds before we go to the break go ahead michael. it was directed against russia and china you're right and i agree that it's an unfortunate state but i think it was brought about brought upon largely by perceived russian aggressiveness in this domain whether you agree with that perception or not that's what ok well so we're going to go to a break here but i want to point out to our viewers that it wasn't russia that overthrew the legitimately elected government in kiev in february two thousand and fourteen after a short break we'll continue our discussion on the nuclear posture review stay with . a plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the

9:04 am
welcome back across like where all things are considered i'm peter beltre amount of discussing the nuclear posture review. ok kevin i'd like to point out to our viewers you know this a very heated here but this is a very important topic of course michael did write something in usa today but it's gotten very little coverage and on the cable stations which i think is really an indication of just how. these kind of issues are taking that away from the public square because i think people should be talking about these things here having said that it seems to me that there are some lessons being on learned here and we call that mad mass destruction and it seems to me the u.s. is and learning that all the major nuclear powers all understand that you know
9:05 am
that's probably why they haven't been used ok since the first used by the united states at the end of the second world war it seems to me the u.s. reading this past year is moving away from that again thinking the thinkable go ahead. well these are all weapons and here we are in the era of trump where you know christmas of two thousand and sixteen trump says mr brzezinski flippantly let it be an arms race so you know no lessons are learned from history here it's fascinating how this goes back to world war two if you look at a book like it says the decision to use the atomic bomb a big part of the american decision to use atomic weapons in japan in august one thousand nine hundred five was to tell the soviet union where to get off that the united states was in charge little did the us know that the soviets were just four years away from their own nuclear weapon because they had infiltrated the manhattan project at los alamos and montréal they had spies everywhere.
9:06 am
to apologize for interrupting our regularly scheduled programming here when we're just getting some breaking news here at this channel scuffles have erupted in south korea just a short amount of time before the opening ceremony of the winter games in pyongyang chiang we understand one hundred strong protest against north korea's participation has led to clashes with riot police right outside the olympic stadium we can cross lives a lot easier to try and get now who's joining us from the host city india what is the latest that you know. rory hello well it is very loud here so if the sound is not very good please forgive me i was just going to say that the olympic games is meant to be an event that is free of politics and conflict but young sang it doesn't seem to be the case and you
9:07 am
could realize that just by looking at the square behind me i can tell you that this is just don't go from me every you know where the opening ceremony is going to start in the next few hours and there is a protest right. find me if we can look at some of the slogans that we can see there. the old way political rants we are against. political olympics what these people are against is perhaps the steps that have been made jointly by north korea and south korea really established some progress some peace efforts ahead of this as you may remember both countries are going to walk together at the opening ceremony and they're going to be doing this under the unified korean flag but before you are not happy if i think they are holding american flags israeli flags and maybe south korean flags as well i can tell you that just before i arrived there has been some stuff with police as you can see there are dozens of
9:08 am
police officers around here there trying to make sure that doesn't happen again because back then the north korean flag burning now if you just look at the other side of the square there's a smaller protest with red flags there are different slogans there it says against war for yankee go home so apparently the two protests these are the two protests story where the people class together so again hours are just left before the opening ceremonies so let's see how this unravels because the crowds here it seems i don't want to go anywhere and the numbers of people the numbers of people who are growing. up trying to live in pyongyang china the olympic host city thank you. so it was saying that ultimately you've got a few hundred people there who are protesting there creating the demonstrations on the mall for north korea's participation in these olympics and the other side are against now the conflict over the korean peninsula has been costing
9:09 am
a shadow on the imminent winter games in pyongyang chang for some time and it's not only activists clashing over the crisis but politicians as well. since. today's military parade will show off the powerful status of the democratic people's republic of korea as long as hostile policies from the u.s. continue the mission of the korean people's army can never change.
9:10 am

9:12 am
the number of. health care centers or hospitals is very limited the extent of the damage has affected it i was there in one of the health centers the other day the one family came in with their baby isn't two month old baby they wanted a vaccinated there was vaccine there was everything there and stop who are seeing over one hundred children a day were able to vaccinate this child but those families have to walk i also saw the baby unit there were nine incubate has six of which which were filled with premature babies who would not have survived unless those incubate as with their it's a wide area wide level of levels of devastation families have to walk enormous distances to be able to get the health care what we're saying is that the cumulative health care that is required of any child anywhere else in the world is not available yet
9:13 am
in mosul and more than half a year since its liberation the city remains strewn with corpses and warning you may find the following scenes distressing the condition of many of the bodies is making it difficult to confirm their identities and most of the victims appear to be civilians women children and the elderly residents are calling on the government to do something about the situation given the risks to health unicef's representative in iraq peter hawkins i described the situation in mosul as wiring. i think what we need to understand is the extent of the problem this is a massive city mosul city probably faced one of the biggest in warfare since world war two and. two point two million to two point four million people affected an enormous challenge for everybody to try and clear everything up and get the people working again. the taxi driver in new york has committed suicide right

hours but instead work here and there with irregular service and irregular pay back in two thousand and thirteen there were forty seven thousand vehicles for hire in new york city now that number exceeds one hundred thousand and the regular pay has dropped from eighty eight thousand to sixty nine thousand the business model which is to bring as many drivers on as possible. has ended up backfiring and so now the pie is spilling sliced into too many pieces and makes it difficult for all the drivers to earn a living keep in mind that yellow cab drivers have to rent their vehicles cover their own credit card service fees plus supply their own gasoline at the end of the day they're not left with much money to take home in the most expensive city in the country a little oppen aren't see new york and this program continues in exactly two minutes .

9:24 am
let's bring some live pictures for you right now here on our international correspondent just outside the olympic venue with protests erupting hours before the launch of the winter olympic games ceremony. here in moscow can you bring us down what's the what's the latest that you know. rory i can. not hear you very well but just for you to understand what is happening behind me see for yourself this is an anti north korean protest which is happening just a stone's throw from the actual olympic arena where the opening ceremony is going to start and just about five minutes ago we've seen coupled with wayne foley and that was that protesters pepper spray has been used so the olympic games of course are meant to be free of politics and free of politics but judging by what is happening behind my shoulder this is not the case just hours before the opening ceremony hundreds of anti north korean protesters gathered very close stadium they
9:25 am
burned north korean rock and there were even scuffles with a rival protest that was a people who actually want peace the people who are in favor of the georgia step that have been made by both the north korean government and the south korean government to make sure that the teams of the two countries can walk together under one united korea flag at the opening ceremony but it looks like the below here are not going anywhere they want to stay here till the opening ceremony every once in a while. the police gets involved as you can see they're trying to clear the roads . and we'll see how the situation develops in any case i believe this is not what the people were expecting the people who are organizing these olympics as you can see more and more police are being called in and the tensions are rising so hopefully i'll be able to tell you more very soon as all of this on ravel. he's
9:26 am
a project that i live in pyongyang just outside the olympic venue where the protests have erupted in the thank you full that. well as it was a standing outside the olympic venue there i'm feeling china ultimately addressing protests pro north korea. and to north korea and that of pyongyang teams attending the olympics are trying to we're just guessing earlier well earlier a last minute appeal from forty five russian athletes and two coaches against a ban preventing them from competing in the winter olympics not hold appeal failed at the court of arbitration for sport secretary general announced the ruling was just hours to go before the games get underway in south korea filed this report a bit earlier here it is just arbitrators of concert that the process created by the i.o.c. to establish an invitation list of russian athletes to compete as olympic athletes
9:27 am
from russia would not be described as a sanction but rather as an eligibility decision. applicants did not demonstrates that the manner in which two special commission system study leashed by the i.o.c. was carried out in a discriminatory. so there you have it according to the court of arbitration for sport ridding the russian athletes of their own pick invitations isn't equal to punishment and cas is perfectly happy with the criteria that the i.o.c. and mission lee shows for these invitations the president of the world anti-doping agency is pleased he says that the timing is great and that all the clean athletes should now be reassured the i.o.c. are happy to they have applauded the verdict as you can see and this tweet though the russians are obviously totally devastated i don't know what to say i'm really
9:28 am
disappointed i can't understand the cast decision first they cleared the athletes and now they say sorry you can't go to the olympics this is some kind of madness it's terrible not just for our athletes but for all of international sport did i expect kass to reach this decision fifty fifty especially after thomas buck in one of his later speeches pressured the court of arbitration for sport after ruled in our favor he was literally threatening the court he was almost saying he would dissolve the court if it root again in favor of russian athletes coach albert dempsey and co who was by the way one of those to the i.o.c. was referring to all the things that were being said about the court of arbitration for sport ahead of the hearings including the statements by the president of the i.o.c. council of the decision is extremely disappointing and surprising care for. the i.o.c. we would never have expected this. decision.
9:29 am
to meet. for reforms in the internal structure of the cause here thomas bach was referring to the previous cas verdict and that requires a bit of background the forty seven russian athletes and coaches who were suing the international olympic committee were from two groups thirty two hadn't been sanctioned by the odyssey investigators as a result of the russian doping scandal at all fifty received lifetime bans their medals were taken away by the i.o.c. a few months ago but then the very same court of arbitration for sport last week cancelled these lifetime bans the cast of a treatise unanimously found that the evidence put forward by the i.o.c. in relation to this matter did not have the same weight in each individual case
9:30 am
this is one in twenty eight cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that's looking rule violation it was committed concerned due to insufficient evidence the appearance of held the sanctions and notes and the individual results achieved in such reinstated so the decision that we have right now completely contradicts the previous one and this is a real disaster for the country the athletes both the ones who are still going to compete and be young saying under a neutral flag and those who are banned the coaches the fans they are baffled by how unfair it could get. movement there's no good.
