i. had to have no film the east coast of the united states. here we have taught must one of the oldest american universities here are based upon leaving its graduates all among the country's top six highest salaries. and promotional images of an elite campus without history where one out of every two students is a member of a fraternity. loz was one of them just like his grandfather a brother before him. that started this very day and then over here too so actually like every time every time i want to go to sleep it's like underneath it says. the student isn't. however his initiation nearly killed him. they spared him nothing

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. i. think he needs a little to get missteps and. headlining

right now in an exclusive interview with the head of the court of arbitration for sport tries to defend the olympic committee's decision to exclude russian athletes which the court itself had already cleared of doping allegations. the fact that. the show the guilt of an athlete. has nothing to do with. the u.s. admits the part of the local forces it trained in syria is fleeing to join a conflict against washington's ally turkey. protests across canada after a jury finds a white farmer not guilty of shooting dead a twenty two year old indigenous man. and consumer goods giant unilever it's on a mission to clean up the internet with threats to pull lucrative ads from facebook

and google if they don't act on fake news and hate speech. hello to you that the thirteenth of february with your hourly update from r.t. international a.t.m. here in moscow. two pm in south korea that's where we're starting four days into the winter olympics there and athletes from russia are on the medal board with two bronze and one silver that's despite a reduced number of competitors from russia following decisions by the international olympic committee and the court of arbitration for sport over doping allegations in twenty eight cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that an anti-doping rule violation was committed at leats concerned house a decision is a extremely disappointing these decision of the church and the

need for reform. in though the interludes structure of cars. not demonstrates that the manner in which two special commission system by the i.o.c. was carried out in a discriminatory arbitrary or unfair manner. of always plenty of questions about the nature of those conflicting decisions still unanswered has been speaking exclusively with the secretary general of the cia esseily joins us now either so did you manage to glean anything new. caller hello well as you were saying i had quite a long chat with the secretary general and i was asking him all the questions that were bothering us after the court of arbitration for sport said no to forty seven motion athletes and coaches just ahead of the opening of playing chang twenty

eight think mr reid maintains that leaving them out of the games wasn't a sanction although he did then admit that for some people this may not seem logical also i found out that the audio c.d.'s refusal to get these russian athletes on board was in some cases a result of pure suspicion while in other cases as a result of evidence which mr reed however hasn't seen after all he was a member of the panel that was making the decisions after twenty minutes of conversation mr we've confirmed that the i.o.c. did put forward some evidence against the group of russian athletes and promised that all this evidence will later be published so i just want you to take a look at some other bits of the interview that we prepared for you for now. cas

secretary-general obviously referring to you insisted that the court of arbitration for sport decision does not mean that these twenty eight athletes are declared innocent does that mean that presumption of innocence doesn't work with cas the duty of the i.o.c. was to show that the athletes involved in this case were guilty of and i don't think would violation the fact that you cannot establish the give evidence of the fields doesn't mean that you have established the innocence of the athlete you see what i mean if you have an athlete's or anyone anyone committing a dope infraction if you have a classic doping case you have a positive test then you have a presumption of guilt of the athlete this is the other way around with the sochi case because the i.o.c. had to show that the athletes were guilty the fact that the unable to show the guilt of an athlete doesn't mean that the athlete has nothing to do other with the

case is totally innocence this is a logical consequence and this is nothing bad or good about it well it's definitely bad for some people mr reap the athletes from the groups that your court how to deal with haven't been explained their wrongdoings by the i.o.c. but did the international olympic committee at least provide cas with proof of their guilt is difficult for me to go into details because this case we only have the decisions without the reasons so we know the result we know the media release that i have pronounced but we don't know the full reasons for each of these thirty nine cases so the only thing i can imagine as a lawyer is that there were some evidence brought by the i.o.c. which shows some suspicion about some wrongdoings in this situation.

well as you heard a couple of minutes ago after the initial cas decision on the bans the i.o.c. bands that were due to violations in tsotsi as the international olympic committee was putting it the first reversal of the i.o.c. decision resulted in heavy criticism by the i.o.c. and back then cas was ruling out any kind of pressure by the olympic officials well i asked mr reed if anyone got back to the idea of possible reforms that cas and he said that back then it was the only time so basically after cats produced a ruling which was similar to how the i.o.c. sees the situation and nobody ever returned to that idea and i'll come back with more details of that exclusive interview and the next few hours and also the full version i guess will be available on our website the show will let everybody know

when it's comin soon as it's available for now though in the olympic host city thanks very much. next washington's admitted that some of the kurdish forces are trained in syria shifting to fight against one of america's own allies turkey and i'm currently on the offensive in northern syria against groups that it deems as terrorists and has more on the tension is currently playing out in syria u.s. secretary of defense james mattis has confirmed that u.s. armed kurdish forces in the ass d.f. have been relocating to the northern parts of syria to protect territory from turkey. the destruction of was going on up enough and right now which is drawing off some of the syrian democratic forces to see the fellow could snuff and on the run so that schools and the police there were tensions to shift. now the kurds and turkey are both key u.s. allies in the region however there's been tension between all three of them in

recent months now we've heard of how the usa has been arming the kurdish forces and providing them with weapons now and carra has been quite upset by this action they consider this to be the arming of terrorists now at this point we do have a statement from james mattis confirming that he believes there are legitimate security concerns on turkey's part about these kurdish forces that have been armed by the united states that we can seem to work with so on there is of disagreements which is how do we take them on as who was right at least possible they have a legitimate security concern and we do not dismiss one bits of them now there has been escalating tension between the united states and turkey especially in the aftermath of an announcement from the united states that it intended to create a thirty thousand strong border force to protect syria's border with turkey now u.s. leaders backtracked from those comments but that hasn't stopped turkey from being

quite upset by these remarks now we've recently seen the beginning of operation olive branch and this is turkish forces moving into syria to fight against the kurds two allies of the united states clashing with each other in syria as the tensions escalate we're even hearing calls to rename the street on which the u.s. embassy in turkey's capital is located there are calls to rename the street olive branch after operation olive branch the turkish operation to go into syria and fight against the kurdish forces armed by the united states there seems to be quite a bit of contradiction in the words and statements of u.s. leaders and there seems. to be rising tension between all three parties the usa turkey and the kurdish forces. column open the rift between turkey and the us could further over another region in northern syria which turkey is targeting is the next part of its military operation currently u.s. troops are stationed opening up the possibility of direct confrontation so we asked

middle east expert argument where this might lead now the big elephant in the room is members and that's why they invited states is still on the ground they do have troops and in that case if they do not withdraw troops and advisers from this region then ankara says and repeatedly the president here threatens that he's going to go ahead with this operation in member in case this happens i think there will be a kind of military standoff and that could lead to more tension if not a military standoff between the united states and our own career that could lead to a major escalation to more. on the ground that women lead to more alinea ating and more isolating of the united states. there have been protests across canada after a jury found a white farmer.
