in each individual case this is why in twenty eight cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that's an anti-doping rule violation it was committed concerned due to insufficient evidence the appearance of held the sanctions and old and their 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 young saying under a neutral flag and those who are bad the coaches the fans they are baffled by how unfair it could get. movement does not consider me an athlete who deserves to be
9:31 am
a part of it without even providing an explanation i've never given a reason to doubt my honesty and my integrity. the games in korea are to be the first in my career together with my partner we've been working towards this olympics for many years and it was my cherished dream. i was shocked to lympics my dream and i was working towards this goal throughout my entire sports career i've given no reasons to doubt that i'm clean. earlier in the program i discuss the cast of decision and what president it sets with us sports columnist alan. it's no longer sports has been sports for a long time and it really comes down to the fact that the i.o.c. put their necks on the line by not going as hard as some people would have liked to people want to control the olympic movement and water of course as well these are
9:32 am
not the you care to doping us i don't think they want to take control of the whole . money train but they want to grow you have to rule however. it is political to a large degree because if we say that the i.o.c. are playing politics they want to keep control so they have to be seen to be very very strong yes mind you these athletes have never tested positive for me that they haven't doped however there are some who would not have doped but they've been tarred with a brush that is completely wrong and feeds into this kind of geopolitical narrative that russia is bad and good let's beat them will stick it clean athletes can get banned for doping issues that have absolutely nothing to do with them i suppose i should ask you what kind of president does this set for the world of sport i think what we what we can take from this in terms of precedent is that it doesn't really matter if you're clean or not it matters on first of all your passport that is what
9:33 am
we're seeing now and we see it for a long time and also what the general narrative is because if it is that russia is bad and everything then they will be hit and if russia is caught on the wrong side turf war which is happening right now in the world of turf war which is happening right now in the world of anti doping which is a massive massive multi-billion dollar business and the i.o.c. which is a multi multi billion dollar business russia is on the wrong side of that war and unless russia kind of you know kind of reposition itself this will only get worse. around seven hundred fifty thousand children are struggling to get basic medical services in the war torn iraqi city of mosul according to the un's children's rights body unicef an estimated seventy four million dollars are needed to rebuild health care facilities for children and seven months after the euphoria that greeted the liberation of most schools from islamic state iraqi city is still struggling to get back on its feet.
9:34 am
was. that there were another shargel for it. 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 is a two month old baby they wanted a vaccinated there was vaccine there was everything there and starts were seeing over one hundred children a day were able to vaccinate this child but those families have to walk far i also
9:35 am
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 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 most of the victims appear to be civilians women children and the elderly and residents are calling on the government to do something about the situation given the risks to health and unicef's representative in iraq hawkins describes the situation in mosul as
9:36 am
worrying. 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 urban 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 we thing up and get the people working again you try to headlines here on our see international continue in just a moment. very few now dispute paying more attention to peace would of north korea nuclear issue i personally believe the us coming can come up in just solutions but the deicing the us has been paying too much attention to military you know solutions but i hope the us would pay more attention to peaceful solution to the north korean
9:37 am
nuclear problem. seemed wrong. roles just don't hold. any. get to shape out these days because that's ok and it gains from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. it is good to have you with us today republican lawmakers in the united states are threatening to cut funding to the world health organization's cancer research
9:38 am
program that's after the international agency for research on cancer said that america's most widely used weed killer made by monsanto is probably cost in a generic or the agricultural drug monsanto strongly disagrees with the classification of. the international agency for research on cancer is a part of the world health organization that coordinates and conducts research into the causes of cancer in addition it leads cancer prevention activities and helps to shape the international agenda though some u.s. lawmakers found the organization's findings doubtful. unsubstantiated claims i or your response. why should receive any government funding in the future they're disputing the organizations findings regarding its leading herbicide called round up round up is made by months santo and it's the world's most widely used weed killer since the seventy's it's been sprayed on corn soybeans cotton and
9:39 am
other crops and republicans believe that the study was flawed and relied on cherry pick science accusing the agency of lack of transparency and anti industry bias they say that it's quite a sadist designated as carcinogenic it will require manufacturers and retailers to warn workers and consumers and plus it'll increase costs and instill fear in the public some have disagreed with republicans it is important that we review the methods and tactics that industry has used to influence this administration and attack independent scientific organizations like the world health organization's international agency for research on cancer or i would like to say that fundamentally this hearing is about the ability of a public health agency to call a carcinogen a carcinogen even if that carcinogen makes a huge amount of money for powerful corporations according to the center for responsive politics monsanto lobbied more than four point three million dollars in
9:40 am
twenty seventeen the environmental protection agency which is not an international organization concluded that the same ingredient does not cause cancer and i are says that they've been under attack ever since they published their conclusions against life a state at the same time monsanto has been pushing against these findings through several different means and the company is seen as quite controversial not only in the u.s. but all over the world president micron promised in november that would be banned within three years inevitably modified crops have been banned in over thirty five different countries but not banned in the u.s. international organizations have concluded that life is it could be cancerous the so these lawmakers intentions. our quite unclear. taxi driver in new york has committed suicide right outside city hall he left a note on facebook accusing politicians of failing to protect his industry and saying services such as had financially ruined his life calif opened a small. douglas
9:41 am
shifter took his own life after parking his car in front of new york city hall it wasn't hard for police investigators to figure out why the for his suicide intended to draw attention to the ordeal that he and other professional drivers go through he posted this on facebook. i want one hundred to one hundred twenty consecutive hours almost every week for the past fourteen plus years there are over one hundred thousand of us suffering daily now is the new slavery i hope with the public sacrifice i make now some attention to the plight of the dr uses and the people will be done to save them and it will not have been in vain shifter had been driving cabs in the limo since the nine hundred eighty s. however in recent years it's become a far harder job with far less pay at the time of his death he was facing severe financial troubles as well as clinical depression he blames city hall for ruining
9:42 am
his industry for years he had been writing articles for black car news a blog for drivers his articles pointed toward some of the hard hitting truths about the vehicles for hire industry he cared about other people and cared about the industry that he worked and. i met him he had sent a letter to the editor a bunch of years ago and it was an angry tune and he said some things that i thought made sense so i invited him to write for me and he did that for a few years and generally his content was you know to help the industry you know all the people that were struggling the way he was struggling he wanted them to know to help them now shifter wasn't alone he's one of three drivers in the last three months to take his own life taxing union officials say that boomer and other mobile app services have made a once well paying industry into a massive long hours low pay and economic insecurity now at this point in light of
9:43 am
his death regulators are stepping up to help ease the problem. we understand to many of our licensees have been under tremendous pressure due to this onslaught of competition from this patch services to despair felt so deeply by mr shifter has become a topic of daily debate and concern for us and while we lack jurisdiction to limited licensing of drivers or vehicles we are tackling the issue of driver earnings protections this year economic analysts have talked about a gig economy where workers don't have regular jobs with regular paychecks and 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
9:44 am
pie is spinning 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 gas to lame 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 up and artsy new york. cryptocurrency is a not for the faint of heart since hitting an all time high last december bitcoin prices have been in freefall the gilt process how do you all go top of the mood in singapore where some of the world's biggest investors have gathered to discuss all things krypto. well the one and only stop for everything hot exciting in the world of botching. so it's this is hard to script told the.
9:45 am
price of bitcoin drops below six thousand and one streets. go to the twenty. fourth in singapore to get on the inside find out what's going on. meet. the world's largest crypto fund and tell me the world's most accurate clean price predict. people think it's the you know the bubbles bursting that's it we're done with that point. what do you think all right here that are. five of them. i'm a believer of the point i just i really think it's really going to be the innovation of future big point has always reversed because some of the smartest computer scientists in the world are working on it making it more secure making it more usable making it cheaper for trying to translate and get them tomorrow but we'll get there when will the price stabilize because it's going it's going down so i
9:46 am
think there's probably a strong support level at six thousand obviously that could be a bridge that we could go lower but it feels like there's definitely like whoa dollars down there and i think that's really going to produce that that we need i do not see bitcoin going lower than one thousand three hundred dollars and i think that is actually the i feel point for the fall too before it goes all the way back to twenty dollars and it. sounds a little scary there's like a sometimes like a boss will pull over and then it will stoop down right the boss will kind of lower down so you can get any easier right so right now the boss is lowering right so in a way like if you can get any easier now like it's a lot easier to get it now. you can watch for the very latest. on web site or you tube channel you episodes are out and free friday. so from singapore to cold siberia despite the extreme russian weather something that the

9:49 am
to birds and their debt downwards the one dollar. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. with the fine. be the one percent. making all middle of the room stick. to the.
9:50 am
welcome one old first time calling will show this week which i can you just hear it for the announcement a video assistant referee as you can hear a lot more about this ball at the world cup and we go behind the sayings of an evening with yours truly first though let's go to mine in germany where i interviewed a man who could have played for the defending world champions germany but instead chose to play for nigeria i sat down with liam gallagher and a very interesting man to talk about the super eagles hopes for the summer as well . of course one of the two teams that will be in russia at the world cup this summer
9:51 am
they're in a very tough group as well argentina croatia and the favorites of course that we featured earlier on in the series we. come to chat to f.s.b. mights depend on you know a cheery and super eagles defender. let's go have a chat out's. you really should last will call song pate disappointed were you not mike got squalled and how excited are you if you stay fit to go to russia for the to the biggest football tournament in the world i think when i got that injury in two thousand and fourteen and the first moment i didn't even realize that i'm going to miss the world cup because it was my first cap. but the coach back then was quite serious and he told me afterwards i think he even made a statement after they got an immunity by france and he missed me i think that was the moment i really realized what a big chance that would have been i saw them there with i saw the super eagles flying and they did quite well for the worse it was tough i still don't realize
9:52 am
that this is going to happen i think i start to realize that. more and more but i think the first bit of reaction when we got the final whistle when we qualified to which is that i broke down crying and froze and used to call it was not really the super it also did was i wasn't relief i just realized ok. it's going to happen but still that feeling that big excitement is not it's still to come. when all of the change came out so i'm sure you will and you know what subgroups got you why did you fail i joined the was a group later because i was actually out training at the time they made to drop some of my team mates and the physios they told me already you know you want to know you want to see a let you know. argentina again i think it's everyone forgets it's it's a big challenge but also it's a big opportunity what unity because i think again nobody will have us on the list
9:53 am
and say i've been going to be eliminated but i say and most of all my complete team is with me on that point we're going to say we're going to make it through to the. for the final to beat whoever whoever comes then if we beat them we will see but of course we want to leave the group saying that the biggest course of. an african country when enough or completely is going to win the world cup it's going to be nigeria huge amount of players huge amount of players that have always played in europe and being successful connie culture of players do you feel about team spirit now we speak strong enough to carry the expectation of the noise here in nation and all of a lot of noise here in liverpool fans that follow may not all seriously hold on their club teams when they support them and their always all be on the national team as well some i think it was one coach we had before the super easy always said we have one hundred seventy million coaches out three exactly you know to come up today expectations i think we can make up all expectations but i think we can make
9:54 am
them very proud and of course it would be a big sensation and i think if you ask any nigerian like serious. what will you do if if nigeria brings home the world cup they were they were they would play something like i would have never expected that even though they tell us even on twitter we wouldn't say yes bring home this world cup make us proud to get that trophy but if we if we would really minutes to get it then it would be beyond the expectation i think that would be what i want to do the world's biggest party probably one of celebration and i'd heard of it as a kid growing old with having two parents just didn't have really she always like well i was just we're all those ones life analogy or somehow i want to of course sometimes you thought ok playing for germany certainly in the bad thing they want to work up two thousand and fourteen but since i never gained the attention it was
9:55 am
quite clear from the beginning and i always probably you feel the same because people do view you different. as you look different so you always feel more attracted by that foreign side so yes same with me and therefore it was always this very strong relation to to my manager and having to. have been told lots of things in the media don't go there and i was told to sign in ukraine i was told to sign the south africa and brazil before world cups don't go if you block don't go to the seri dugouts that area this rice is a lot of got to be honest i haven't seen any russians have been very friendly does it concern you at all not one thought because. i think from pause the international language and of course we still see racism in football but if i would think about racism before i think about playing the game and enjoying the world cup then something will be wrong i guess from what you said enough if you can show he hasn't when he acts and always gets into that stage with it being
9:56 am
a global guy everybody playing in each of these late where it's going to happen sooner rather than later i hope but i think the main problem is that if i see germany fights for an example say they've build a new structure and it starts with the youth african football as a as in toto see that there are a lot of problems besides football the focus is not just on building up the future and therefore becoming successful as a nation but it's more like temporary things and you have maybe political issues inside of the inside of the boat or something like there's a new president he is lucky that doesn't someone with somebody who's telling the challenger him so it's almost it's too many different problems that are not for the cost of being successful those structures that you need to build. in african football you have to upgrade the league you have to have to build better conditions
9:57 am
for training better facilities you have to kind of miss things have custody is that something you'd like to be involved in because i know that people like calling are we going to go acts are on the show tonight. it's one of the things we'd like to it's approach he likes to formulate use looking to me as well is that something post career you speak very well very bright draw your priest very you would like to be involved in post football career to give something back to north korea nigerian football is definitely an thought but. i'm not too we're connected right now because a lot of players in my team and i do national team and they come from academies i mean they are ready but it is as i said they need to improve everything everything around it and also the education for football then but definitely would be something that i'm interested in like to bring up this nation even more because as you said before you have we have an amazing football talent god knows how many talents they are i can't even tell you because it's too many it's unbelievable i
9:58 am
think i've seen around forty or fifty players since i have a joint a super league of coming in and out most of them stay but you always have another one who's just there for a try or who gets a chance at the end of the day depends on the coach a little bit only a full minute tell him to play that i can't even tell how many because as i said before i'm not too well connected in nigeria finally only suits where it's not that big and she writes and come piling up a big company clothing company puts a little black kid in ice which is. coolest little monkey in the jungle you felt compelled to tweet about it do you feel it's your responsibility in the public or you as a professional footballer to comment on social issues and if so i want i think because we have we have the range to address tonight of people and with this issue in particular and i just know that it's not just one person who puts this online there's a couple of persons who look over it and i say it's either. some kind of ignorance
9:59 am
maybe those people day they. just didn't realize the fact how people would react on this but then on the same time i saw in two thousand and eighteen we see what's going on in the usa but also although a lot of the world place what we did was just consulted two or three days ago again and writing sterling as well in manchester god got arrested and sent to prison for russia if you think it's happening every day i think it's our responsibility i don't even blame anyone. claim any one of them is racist but this should not be happening because they also have a responsibility because they have a big range and you can see i think it was a big image that much for them it's just that we need to keep in mind people how like the african community or the black community feels as long as black people get
10:00 am
compared with with monkeys. just for the cause of taking their self-esteem. then this will never be right i think it's very important too to go that kind of empathy for one another all at least with society's been fascinating twenty thirty minutes with a hope that when you finish playing you've got plenty of years left that you go on and get involved in the administration the guidance we need more people that speak as well as you to win the race all will be watching very closely at the world cups and say good luck to you in the city for eagles thank you very much for joining us thanks for having. after the break all beings yuruk the united center.
