time i went out on that football field it was terrifying but the coolest thing ever . i wouldn't change it for the world. a little girl's dream becomes a reality but it's also a job under intense scrutiny that we have to really really watch and even our coaches watch what we. like tweet and facebook and what we posed to the worry not allowed to. look at all that they sell as if it's something that you wouldn't want your grandma to see and don't understand that's the best way to fix right now i know some people at some crazy grandmas but we know what it really means. and so this means that cheerleaders are representing the american campuses twenty four hours a day and they're not allowed to make mistakes i think to see everyone. around to go for it always so you'd be surprised like a. games thank you for your well watching around and playing around or getting

top stories this hour in an exclusive interview with r.t. 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 is already cleared of doping allegations the fact that unable to show the guilt of an athlete's mean that it has nothing to do with the kids. also this hour the u.s. admits a part of the local forces it trains in syria is fleeing to join a conflict against washington. and consumer goods joining us on a mission to clean up the internet with threats to pull lucrative ads from facebook and google if they don't. speak.
6:21 am
the thirteenth of february i'm calling your hourly update from international it's nine am here in moscow it's three pm in south korea four days into the winter olympics there and athletes from russia are on the medal board with two bronze and one so over us 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's an anti-doping rule violation was committed by concerned because of the decision is extremely disappointing. the decision shows the urgent need. for reform. in the internal structure of couse applicants did not demonstrates
6:22 am
that the manner in which two special commission system study leashed by the i.o.c. was carried out in a discriminatory arbitrary or unfair meant. probably plenty of questions about the nature of those conflicting decisions are still unanswered correspondent has been speaking exclusively with the secretary general of the cia as he joins us in the olympic host city now again a lawyer got a lot of time with him did you get any more from him. call and hello well after the court of arbitration for sport said no to forty seven washing athletes and coaches just as the winter games and we're getting underway perhaps the number one conclusion that some people have made was that presumption of innocence doesn't apply to the washing doping scandal and the secretary general didn't say the keeper as a pole doesn't work for cas but see for yourself how much it applies to the
6:23 am
russians the fact that the only able to show the guilt of an athlete mean that the athlete has nothing to do other with the case is totally innocent this is a logical consequence and this is nothing bad about it. mr reid also maintained that leaving the group of clean russian athletes on paper out of the games wasn't still a sanction also i found out that the decision the refusal of the i.o.c. to get dozens of these russian athletes on board was in some cases the result of pure suspicion and other cases a result of some evidence that was at the end of the day provided however mr reed hasn't seen it himself although he promised that soon it will be published and please check out some other bits of my exclusive interview. we are never
6:24 am
involved in any political discussions or debates we are lawyers a tribunal we render decisions 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 include 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 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
6:25 am
case because the i.o.c. had to show that the athletes were guilty the athletes from the groups that your court had to deal with haven't been explained their wrongdoings by the sea 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 the bouts some wrongdoings in this situation while as you heard just a couple of minutes ago when cas cleared a group of saatchi athletes from russia and returned their medals the international
6:26 am
and. the committee criticized the court of arbitration for sport heavily they were absolutely unhappy and called for reforms and i asked mr rebuff anyone returned to this idea of following the latest decision his answer was no so it turns out that when the i.o.c. was finally satisfied with the cas decision nobody wants to reform the court of arbitration for sports anymore you can check the rest of my interview online and i guess our viewers will find out when it appears on the website very soon a lot to get through there really a thanks very much for distilling it down for us we'll catch up with you again for more a little bit later thanks but now that. washington has admitted that some of the kurdish forces are trained in syria shifting to fight against one of america's own turkey is currently on the offensive in northern syria against groups that it deems as terrorists and has more on the tensions currently playing out in syria u.s.
6:27 am
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 is causing the least their attention 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 continue to work with and there is of disagreements
6:28 am
which is how do we take them on as he was rapidly as 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
6:29 am
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 while the rift between turkey and the united states could deepen further over another region in northern syria bridge which turkey is targeting in the next part of its military operation currently u.s. troops are stationed there opening up the possibility of direct confrontation we asked middle east expert. 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 the troops and advisers from this region then ankara says that repeatedly the president here threatens that he's going to go ahead with this operation in member in case this happens i think there
6:30 am
will be a kind of military standoff that could lead to more tension if not a military stand off between the united states and our own career that could lead to a major escalation to more wars on the ground that would lead to more alinea ating and more isolating of the united states. facebook and google are at risk of losing one of the world's biggest advertisers if they fail to improve news transparency and tackle extremism on their platforms consumer products giant unilever which makes some of the biggest brands in food and cleaning products made the threat of tech conference on monday but the anglo dutch firms being caught out in the past itself with its own misjudged marketing has done a whole can of explained same news different day facebook is again in the firing line having faced pressure from governments and activists over.
