go to the olympics this is some kind of madness it's terrible not just for athletes but for all of international sport did i expect cas to reach this decision fifty fifty especially after thomas back in one of his latest speeches pressured the court of arbitration for sport after a rule in our favor he was literally threatening the court he was almost seeing he would dissolve the court if it ruled again in favor of russian athletes who have been claims from the head coach of russia's news team that the i.o.c. was pressuring kathe in this decision is that the case that the i.o.c. president thomas bach was certainly scathing about the decision when that came through it would have been viewed very much as a decision that undermined the i.o.c. has or thirty and also very much put a spoke in the wheel of water of their investigation and undermining also the credibility of the mclaren report cost a decision it is a extremely disappointing and surprising for. the i.o.c. we would never have expected these are these

a decision of the merchant the need for reform. in no the interlude structural failure because a lot was thought sparks reported out of original cast rolling which effectively upheld the principle of innocent until proven guilty saying that there was insufficient evidence that those russian athletes had been doping this was the original cast in twenty eight cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that's an anti-doping rule violation was committed concerned it's been such an emotional rollercoaster of ours and for these athletes the real saw grafter months weeks years of preparation they had this glimmer of hope last week with the cast the big could go to the games represent their flag their country their of them etc now though that's been overturned there are still legal routes appeals they could go. but of course the opening ceremony has now just

finished the games are about to begin whatever legal options are available they simply won't have time now to hear some reactions from those athletes many of whom were hoping to even make a debut at their first winter olympics i have no words. i was hoping that cas would rule in our favor right now i don't know what to do i'm disappointed but of course i won't give up on sport i've still got a lot ahead of me i will compete and win medals for my country. until the very end we were hoping that this is you would go in our favor now i feel sadness and sorrow but i will compete petition i can if i have enough strength in the opportunity to compete in the next olympics i will prepare for them. i had no emotions left we had all our bags packed we were just waiting for it is the anything so just situations make you stronger emotionally. hundreds of supporters of a far right party have clashed with police in the central italian city

a match around just a week ago match or rather suffer the racially motivated shooting which left six injured. and. the shooter was targeting african migrants police found a copy of hitler's mind in his apartment as well as a flag with a far right symbol the shooter said he acted after the death of an italian woman allegedly killed by a nigerian asylum seekers'. the far right shooter despite massive debate about the growth of neo fascist forces in italy italian as well as foreign media of way then the shooter's lawyer told journalists his client was greeted as a hero when he arrived at prison police say the racial and religious violence has soared in recent years here are the shocking numbers that have come in from the italian police hate crime it's jumped ten times ten fold in just four years issues

raising concern at the very highest levels with italy's justice minister revealing he was threatened when he visited the matter are to shooting victims in hospital. i received threats against me and my family but i was the first is to go away when the time comes to take action so i. mean while a video is appeared in the media showing the match around to shoot a shaking hands with the leader of the right wing league annoyed or over the shootist as a candidate for the party at local elections last year we invited the league not council to discuss the issue. if this guy did what he did he became a creaminess so we are very strict about that and our. we pons pencil in the next election the people will

use it to vote in this is the only way we act any violent act carried out by an immigrant it seems like the response is is also considerable surely this is not good for the country as a whole how do you feel about what's been reported the rise of nationalism and fascism in italy we are just telling you the people we need lo we need contour of account to be we cannot lose our identity because italy if these mood of immigration will rise and we will lose. a dainty ally of your party the former soviet bellus going to he's called migrants a time bomb now is fairly aggressive rhetoric it's only going to further divide people you said your weapon is your your pension shouldn't be trying to bring people together we found always the right way to act together and when we have been

in the government the last time in two thousand eighty two two thousand and eleven we practically stopped the arrival of illegal immigrants in two thousand and eleven we had only four thousand. arrival in one year in last year we had the more than one hundred forty thousand arrival of over illegal immigrants in it and so you can see the difference and this is a bomb because at the most of those people are illegal they will never go get the. paper refugee because just the five maximum ten percent of them is a real refugee. the american ambassador has lashed out at an israeli newspaper after it published an article critical of his policies and this all began after an israeli rabbi living in a disputed settlement was killed by a palestinian man hundreds of people attended the funeral of prime minister benjamin netanyahu vowing that the killer would be hunted down and the promise was

kept the day after the attack israeli forces carried out a raid searching for the assailant wherever it resulted in clashes which left one person dead and several others wounded apparently none of them being the killer reacting on twitter to the death of the prominent israeli rabbi the us ambassador recalled how twenty years ago he donated an ambulance to the disputed settlement where the rabbi was killed. thirty years ago gave an ambulance to harbor hoping it would be used to deliver healthy babies instead a man from harbor was just murdered by terrorists leaving behind a wife and four children palestinian leaders have praised the killer praying for the bin girl family. following that tweet the newspaper haaretz published an article suggesting the ambassador's philanthropy is selective and that it doesn't seem to cover palestinians it also accused him of believing in encouraging war crimes and violations of international law and that criticism has left the u.s.

ambassador quite upset in response he tweeted what has become of our efforts for young children a sitting shiver meeting the morning ritual for their murdered father and this publication called their community a mountain of curses the hebrew name of the disputed settlement translate as the mountain of blessing at the end of the tweet us there asks how have they no decency . well there is no better person to answer that question than the very man behind the article that upset the u.s. diplomat column eskin levy joins me live from tel aviv good enough the question do you have no decency. the question gets back to his excellency them bastard though doesn't the united states have no decency to send an ambassador to israel who works who believes against the american attitudes against the american position the united

states declares at least the clears the t's against the settlements project and here we have an ambassador though who is one of the biggest friends of the occupation one of the biggest friends of the settlements project contributing money to the settlements for the most extreme ones this by itself is like who elect of this is. aside from the ambulance mention by the ambassador would you agree with his view of the situation surrounding the murder something this resonated a lot with the israeli public i don't know what he means the murder any murder is all rows something terrible and there are murders in both sides by the way. ever since they don't all trumps the speech about recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel there were twenty six people

killed out of them twenty four were palestinians and only two were jewels we have to see the overall picture not only one incident this is a context where every. call the ambassadors remarks suggest that he feels that he's been wronged he's launched an attack on you is that something new coming from the u.s. ambassador or is it a regular occurrence. no that's quite unusual that them bus or the or bothers to a take a local media and he doesn't take a local media for nothing it is an answer for personal criticism on their bus of though totally legitimate criticism i guess the embers of those knows too little about freedom of speech about the right to criticize even his excellent see the embers of the of the united states but i think my newspaper ha'aretz and myself we will stay in this criticism.

in in hindsight looking back which is a wonderful thing are you happy with the wording the east or would you change it at this point why would they change by all means notes i still think and cannot think otherwise that all the settlements are of the international law that all the settlements were about there in order to to prevent any kind of settlement with the palestinians i believe that the settlement of abra specifically is there in order to try to prevent the nature and development of a big palestinians city namely nab loose and i think that if harbor how wouldn't have been there and the other settlements would have been there since for most of the israelis would have been much easier and much more simple and same for

the palestinians of history. and finally system trying to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital what effect is that had on the conflict first full day i mentioned before in terms of causality is twenty six people who were killed for nothing. but that's just the beginning of the story i think that by the end of the day this declaration as a whole or is it might be a better put an end to the most courageous i mean by this donald trump declared the end of the two state solution because if you're in jerusalem as the capital only of the jewish state you say in other words that there will be no viable two states if there are no two states no two state solution and for this they were grateful to the world trump for really putting an end to the masquerade and saying the truth

there will be no two state solution donald trump signed on the on the desk certificated of this solution and now everyone has to start to see what will be the ultimate. get in appreciate you taking the time to speak to is my guest or it's columnist getting levy thank you. on to other news a woman in california who's been a prominent face of the anti harassment meet the movement has found herself at the center of a sexual misconduct storm she's been accused by at least the man of inappropriate behavior not his jaclyn viggo has the details. democratic assemblywoman christina garcia has a reputation as a fierce advocate for women and has gained national recognition for condemning sexual misconduct all over the place this is out there that shaky. thank you we should not be on your shoulders to make this change but there are places like the power that they can protect their time magazine's silence breakers issue centering

on speaking out against harassment even featured garcia's face in the artwork and inclusion that garcia was humbled by posting on twitter that she was proud of the work being done and the issues clearly personal in october revealed to the new york times that she has also been sexually assaulted by men in her workplace multiple people have grabbed my bottom grabbed my breasts we're talking about c.b. and o.b.'s. earlier this week garcia even helped pass a bill granting whistleblower protections to legislative stuff who are victims of sexual misconduct announcing after the bill's approval that you were not standing alone and yet news has now broken up two men accusing garcia of sexual harassment one of the alleged victims is a former legislative staffer highly ironic considering the bill she helped pass is meant to protect legislative staff probes already been launched into the incident alleged to have happened back in two thousand and fifteen after an assembly softball game danielle farrow claims that while she was intoxicated garcia rubbed his back and squeezed his buttocks before attempting to do more than reportedly

quickly extracted himself from the situation and it looks like this may even be a pattern for garcia as a second accuser story is eerily similar an unnamed lobbyist alleges that a drunk accosted him last may making graphic sexual proposals while trying to grab his crotch she was whispering roo close and i could smell the booze and see she was pretty full she looked at me for a second of so the goal was. he says he adamantly rejected the offer at this point garcia's camp has only responded to the first accusation the details of these kinds have never. been brought to my attention and till today i can also say i have zero recollection of engaging in appropriate behavior and such behavior is inconsistent with my values but if we've learned anything from the me too movement it's that accusations carry more weight than denials and once one person comes forward the floodgates tend to open. tensions are already threatening germany's proposed

grand coalition months after the social democrats leader revealed he by longer seek a ministerial position more on what martin chills the decision will mean for the country's current turbulent political scene is that he's peter oliver in the lead. on wednesday it seemed we may have been getting to the bottom of germany's governmental crisis a deal had been hammered out between angela merkel's conservative bloc and the center left social democrats and it looked like martin schulz was set to be installed as the next foreign minister of germany friday evening and all that has gone out the window martin schultz has announced he won't be taking up that position as germany steve chief diplomat and rumors are abound he's being forced to step down from that by some disgruntled colleagues high up in his own party who actually blame him for the party's current failure as well mr schultz put out a statement himself explaining in his own words why he wouldn't be taking up the post i renounce joining the federal government and at the same time i hope that

this will in the personal debates within the s.p.d. we all make policies for the people in this country and my personal ambitions must be behind the interests of the party but it's a social democratic party that's in real bias straight at the moment earlier on friday we saw the current foreign ministers gabrielle lash out at martin schultz saying that all that was left was regret it how little respect there was between senior figures within the party couple that along with the youth wing of the s.p.d. a vocally campaigning against joining a coalition with angle and merkel they've been seeing around twenty thousand or certainly more than twenty thousand people signing up to join the party since january behind the slogan sign up and say no if the social democrats vote against the grand coalition deal it all falls apart and we started friday talking

about the potential political future of angela merkel whether even if this grand coalition goes ahead she would stay for a full four year term we've ended friday and certainly those in that low politically here in berlin a vented fried. saying could this be the end of the political career of martin shultz the form of a you paul and president well he still remains a member of the bush in the stud book what's his future holds right now it's really anybody's guess the stuff that he said he won't be taking a seat in a cabinet with angola merkel should the coalition deal go ahead. human rights watch has accused iraqi kurdish security forces of mass executions of suspected islamic state finances this was back in august the report claims the killings occurred near the town of zuma where an apparent mass grave was found the record this government denies them because ations claiming that the bodies belong to i saw fighters killed

in battle with kurdish forces who discussed the findings with senior iraqi researcher for human rights watch focus will since september we've been looking for an eyewitness who can testify to the fact that the men were captured and were captured alive and later they were killed by kurdish security forces. and and what we found two weeks ago is the actual great site and now we know where the bodies. were after it was and where the bodies were then very what in the reports that we've been leased today we include extensive material including photos videos satellite imagery of grave sites as well as sort of just my faith that we are the cells the coalition has demanded that the quicken which the government demonstrate that they're taking the furiously that they're holding those commanders and. it's really cool tension on the international community take a very strong on this matter and make sure that the. next thing where there's more

news coming your way at the top of the hour. the bond market will not crash and this time it will continue to go even lower and negative yields on various bonds will increase from the multi trillion dollars worth of negative yielding sovereign debt now the even more multi multi multi trillion dollars of negative yielding sovereign debt and we're going to go down the rabbit hole even further but it certainly smells like what the panic cash withdrawal in places like china and the sell off in all these various markets and what the oil prices climbing higher in gold looking better that we've got here an old fashioned reversal. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us actually just full on awesome the only show i

go out of my way to launch you know really what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of our three americas do the same thing we are apparently better than two thousand. and c. people you've never heard of love redacted tonight not the president of the world bank so they can destroy him in a seriously send us an email. with this manufactured them sentenced to the public will. when the ruling classes protect them so. when the final clearing go round to listen to the will most of the. time we can all middle of the room sit. in the real news room.

the sheriff. between the north and south korea is becoming a possibility but will the american hard line stance hinder or help the resumed korean peace talks we ask special advisor to the president of south korea for foreign affairs and national security. nuclear north korea is now a reality despite the tough sanctions and international pressure their own state has managed to procure the bomb and testing its means of delivery but with pursuing a new deterrence policy using everything from talks to support to avoid confrontation is there hope the crisis in the korean peninsula will end diplomacy

offset a situation that looks poised for conflict and is washington saber rattling helping the process reeling it. going to a special advisor to the president of south korea for foreign affairs and national security welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us sure enough korea will participate in the winter olympics and will put its team under one banner with south korea it's clear p.r. move on the part of pyongyang to show that there are good guys who can be talked to what makes you trust. trust. of trust. and then you have a good kinds of interactions with north korea you can trust with north korea you're for. north korea. not simply because we trust north korea but because we want to build trust with north korea so do you feel like maybe north korea is using the south with this olympics business to just siphon off more money and find

a loophole through the sanctions. you know we can rule out the possibility but as long as north korea. you know nonproductive behavior. sure who. told that the new condition of north korea we would welcome north korea to utilize in the winter olympics. the two korean woman's ice hockey team will become bine much to the disappointment of some of the south korean team more than thirty one thousand people have signed an online petition to the president's office asking to scrap this plan we keep saying that politics and sports shouldn't mix so how is it fair to deprive some players to the opportunity of a lifetime for pretty much politics. through to some poll good elements and as a matter of fact when jane opposed to the play you know for me an ice hockey team

the. kind of sacrifice on the part of players you know you feel you know sorry for that one but still you know we have another important aspect is where north and south where you please if you can together playing together and i think it has some symbol to substance in many. yeah but it also has consequences for us just as south korean president's ratings have dropped sharply over the olympics if there is a public going to go along with moon soft policy towards the north. but i will say it is a snowy to depose a temporary surprise but i think the moose popularity will come back and if the pinch on winter olympics goes well and if the north korean players in government you know show proper behavior therefore you know i wouldn't say that it is the

bring the. negative impact on president jean to be quite honest i was actually surprised that they a fact was dropping ratings for the president why do you think the south koreans aren't so keen on the two teams playing together coming together under same banner it is something to do with the north korean behavior north korea has been undertaking nuclear publications and north korea has its own. you know confrontation and therefore overall image of north korea has rapidly to through in south korea and in a different post and in made the decision to have one single unified team and also have no one single you know team to know since i was in the area of. ice hockey team that is why some young generation show the unhappiness of their

kind of behavior but if winter olympic proves to be successful and i think that there are kinds of said it would be or become. the u.s. and south korean military trails that have been a thorn in came side to where perspective for the olympics but well we all know that once the games are over that drills will resume and they include practicing the overthrow cames regime what that verse and the progress page. so the series of posts to come to a million people would be a major challenge is to put as a mundane but he's trying to uncover some formula to diffuse the tension and try to make use of the new momentum for peace in the way they'll come somewhere impede their busy year to be sin we don't have to make a prejudging that to do will be worst outcome after come tumbling pig what is the outcome that you're actually hoping for what's this two teams coming together i

mean you said it's really symbolic and it's all about grasping this opportunity to actually make this happen to come together under the same batter what is it that you want from this i mean we all understand the realities on the ground will understand how things will go down after the olympic games are over what's your age except if we put the symbolic thing aside. knows the most is symbolic the present moment has a tool goes with regards to come to winter olympics one has to make a come somewhere in p.p. spel and then he strongly believes that the peace through impute we need to do all you peace or the peace means what you stand the exchange incorporation between north and south and trust building between us since i was and hopefully resumption of the i will be can come young in washington and eventually make making a major breakthrough to the north korean nuclear stalemate there was another use of

east he's now aiming at you know making come to what the peace plan but if the dead have to lose then he'd trying to push for or improve peace and i simply straight as i am be helping our what kind of cooperation would you be hoping for in the future . no you know exchange. we can engage you socially in. some change in cooperation with north korea and you also will be having more interest in with north korea and we are hoping that north korea would have a dialogue with north korea for the settlement of north korean nuclear issue of the kind of sings we have in mind so why do you think it is so important for the south korea to actually have this dialogue and not that important for north korea i mean this is pretty much just first step that north korea has made toward coming together with south korea it does seem like it's the south that is making the most

effort why is it more important for the south korea. to want to take a more leading employer to rule and if these things go through and we just can't test for people present mood to avoid the test of our own come under. these words making every effort to be fugitive to. momentum for dialogue you told c.n.n. it was trump's tough talk that brought the north koreans to open dialogue but say all that there was some kind of a combination in which trump closed the door on direct talks with the us therefore the north koreans have to turn to the south so you think all the provocation traitor insults threats to wipe north korea off the map all of that was a part of a conic plan to actually get north and south to talk. to doing approaching. me to some contribution in each new school.
