to make sure that we keep talking about things like that instead of the scandals that i mentioned earlier it's so easy to talk about negative things but it's really difficult to highlight these positive situations there's sometimes they're they're hard to find but i think we're trying to do our end and i really do appreciate that where it is about the human sport how we can connect and i think if we start focusing on the sport the athletes their stories i think we can move past you know a lot of this negativity and. you know who knows maybe one two a lympics this will all be behind us and we'll get right back to you know clean competition and a lot of fun chris thank you so much well i can tell you wow that's a bit of russia well i can tell you it's always good to talk about stories like the one chris told me about instead of some of the nasty things that unfortunately were happening n.p.n. chang but once again chris master silver medalist in p.r.

in chiang illusion thank you for that conversation rory back to you hopefully we'll hear less about the scandals during the rest of the winter olympics in young chang south korea where it looks like you guys having a great time there with the ongoing sports chris masters congratulations on your latest. thank you both so let's give you some of the medal information here for a limit kathleen's from russia it is another day and another medal hours ago the team won another silver skeleton athlete and the key to google to google for coming in second in that race beating athletes from the u.k. and latvia his silver is the sixth medal for the olympic athletes from russia team . now the winter olympics on the only major sporting event you might want to follow this year with the football world cup now just months away on t.v. host a stan collymore looks into the history of one legendary football club that despite his massive influence on the game never actually hit the big time.

little quiz for you which could spoil all white kids which quote. i used to three separate. and which inspired one of brazil's right football clubs ladies and gentlemen i give you a corinthian casuals. what actually happened was in nineteen zero seven there was a split between the f.b.i. and what became the i had. and it was quite acrimonious to do with amateur professional and the if i refused to allow any if i play as all clubs to appear on the pitch is over there so there was a complete split that spirit was here. and just what you saw in the first world. after the first world war the two clubs struggled over one hundred players between

the two sides were killed in the one hundred twenty two and a strong. into the f.a. cup. first on identity a new competition. is the goal of romance around the club because romance doesn't necessarily. mean fact. most of the stories all true what is a wonderful story about the. penalty kick was introduced and we didn't accept that gentleman was actually divert the files so we didn't think the penalty kicks were right and so to go. world don't defend. if it was awarded to us we would kick with more right now that did actually happen. it is already international and the french president has decided to close the press office at the elite a palace journalists have been stationed there for four decades but now they'll be moved on to a new. site officially it's being done for operational reasons but some say perhaps

it's just a way to keep the media away from the president. explains. this is been the base of france's presidential press school for decades but the doors are about to close on journalists tenure at the least a callous present decided to break away with a press room inside here is a palace basically get away from the seat of power but now it's sort of putting them somewhere remote they will have to ask for appointments every time they want to speak to someone it is keeping them. at a distance and that's exactly what i mean back home since his election last may mark close relationship with the press has been strained he's cherry picked the journalists who can cover his trips outraging multiple media groups he refused to give the traditional bastille day news conference as it's claimed his thoughts too

complex and has suggested that journalists are too interested in themselves some say this move is another way of controlling the price pressure media furious on the devaney furious because they were sent home during the electoral campaign the presidential campaign so. they now realize that it's not because you make friends with a politician on complaining that they're going to treat you well afterwards. but while many in the french media are accusing the president of giving them the cold shoulder perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise. to you if. you should think. this is going up or about the whole thing that as. well. call has already

bought some media outlets from the lease a menu in accordance emanuel micron organizes a briefing off camera just before his trip to cali he sent invitations to the media when i arrived there i discovered that i wasn't on the list of accredited media just that they said i'm not a journalist and that i had to leave so what impact does that have on your ability to do your job a manual american manual macro wants to pass a law against fake news they're refusing to accredit certain media you know the result is he blocked his access to directly the real information and sources of information all that awfulness it's not as if the president who once famously compared himself to jupiter the roman god is media shy he simply prefers to use social media platforms like this you tube page to make statements. although it seems not many a watching and it means there are no awkward questions from journalists to have to

it's a government spokesperson said moving the press call from the lees it was me for the racial reasons and would give reporters a bigger space in which to work. but many believe the only person who needs more space is not cool and until his pilot's. solo in. paris are still to come here on r.t. international a hollywood star scarlett johansson embroiled in a scandal over a chinese made mobile phone she's advertising washington says it's designed to spy on americans details after the break. when else should seem wrong but all wars just don't hold. any gold yet to ship out just because. that's a. trail. when some find

themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand losing business is just the dance the right questions and get the right answer. question.

it is good to have you with us today more than a year has passed since the libyan city was liberated from myself but locals still fear for their lives the threat of she hottest returning to the area looms large while residents continue waiting for life to return to normal. i. said they. just go. through the big exams they are a little over these are everywhere granted food in the in the complex and actually shandon is fully completely out to sea and smashed into the ground. and it's impressive even though it's been destroyed. as you can see here is damaged

a flag has been drawn on the site this just. minimum for the area is completely destroyed and there is no local or international assistance for the population there are fears that ice will return to this area again this may be entrenched in it after the one year war. going to settle people were displaced from this area even after the return the couldn't find their homes because of the massed structure no house left and sacked especially because of the four planes bombing and everyone knows that i still wasn't sternness any moment to the city to absurd and it's been the terrorist stronghold in the city surrounded by mountains and valleys and noise it was always in.

the un assistance mission in afghanistan has released its annual report saying the country has seen a year high in civilian casualties during twenty seventeen the report also raises the alarm over the intervention of pro-government forces and foreign troops in the country by must emphasize that two thousand and seventeen was the fourth consecutive year where the mission recorded more than ten thousand civilian casualties pro-government forces which include afghan national security forces international military forces and pro-government armed groups were responsible for twenty percent of civilian casualties u.s. forces have now been in afghanistan for over sixteen years while over two trillion dollars has been spent so far last august president unveiled a new strategy for resolving the conflict calling for

a fifty percent increase in u.s. troops but for many afghans the human cost of the war has become too great to bat. islamic state militants came here the government then dropped off a leaflet to warn us so we fled our village and then the americans were martyred and destroyed these houses we demand the government help us the three villages who were killed did not belong to i saw all the taliban they were in their houses during the bombardment a man a woman and their son was killed in that incident. we were on our way villagers said the u.s. forces were coming here then we continue our trip towards a central district here in this time they bombed us there were eleven of us in a vehicle on the i survived theater ten people including my appearance in cousin were all killed. we spoke to walther and activist david swanson he told us that rather than force is the only way out of the graveyard of empires. these are

civilian deaths that are absolutely unnecessary in a war initiated by the united states at a time when the taliban was willing to negotiate just as it's now appealing to the us public the taliban for all its hideous flaws and crimes is absolutely right to try to reach the us public the question is whether we can find the media outlets including this one that can manage to reach the us public with that proposal and whether the u.s. public can have any sway over their so-called representatives here in washington that's the big question you know but the white house has made very clear that it does not want to listen the taliban doesn't represent the people of afghanistan and who need to find a solution to the taliban but they will find that solution more quickly when the u.s. stops exacerbating the problem. hollywood star scarlett johansson has become embroiled in a scandal over a mobile phone she's been advertising u.s.

intelligence chiefs are now warning about handsets produced by chinese manufacturers including giant who are way of spying on americans. it provides the capacity to maliciously modify or steal information provides the capacity to conduct undetected espionage raise your hand if you would recommend that private american citizens use wall way or z.t. products or services. thank you for that the brands mentioned during the hearing are some of the biggest names in the mobile communications worldwide. market share puts the company eighth place globally while who are away makes the top three but ironically last week a conversation between two f.b.i. officials was leaked in which they pointed out american company apple's tendency to

spy on users and we discuss the issue with tech consultant. anything's possible interims america we just don't know but given the size of the trading relationship between the two i think they'd have to be very cautious about damaging that seriously electronics one of the of the biggest markets go back and forth intellectual property and this huge contractual tire speed chinese manufacturer is an american network providers so it would be incredibly difficult to translate these sort of statements into legal restrictions it's certainly ironic that they're putting so much effort into you blocking the entry of these companies into the u.s. market without making a bit in available because as we know the one place where there is great evidence of spying activity happening here is largely driven by the u.s. government we know that actually ironically they try to insert software into huawei devices to spy on people that way so it's a difficult situation maybe they have evidence they don't want to share for security reasons but right now the one party you have evidence is not people if the

people who are complaining about huawei. underwater warfare isn't just about who has the best submarines it's also about who has the best navy seals and not just the human one. nine twenty six am here on friday and moscow we're back in half an hour with more of your news.

but. if north korea really believes we're about to conduct a preemptive strike on this could be a significant and a serious preemptive strike that may. they may be motivated to make it to try to be this is the guys have to go for strike. the stakes couldn't be higher and it's happening in syria the goal of destroying the islamic state is largely complete now the syrian proxy war is in train

a new stage for the players and one of their aims and what is winning. one on one with the controversial form o'mara coppa county sheriff joe arpaio on this edition of policy. on larry king joe arpaio the often controversial former sheriff of maricopa county arizona is back in the public eye running for the u.s. senate seat being vacated by jeff flake a frequent critic of donald trump who by the way gave a full and complete pardon to sheriff arpaio after a contempt of court conviction so those are pile we expect from to campaign for him let's find out as joe arpaio joins us from phoenix why are you running joe. well you know i still have some life left larry just like you do and i'm not going

to surrender one day you'll find out the real story it was a mr meter contempt of court same as a barking dog so i'll be getting into the biased federal court and the apartment of justice very soon but i want to keep doing what i can to to defend and help the people of arizona and also to support the president's policies agenda and i'll be doing a one termer six years and the president and i will probably be leaving at the same time how many years state you know there's just. there's a publicly expressing concern that you bring some baggage and that if you win the nomination of your party the party could be defeated in november how do you react to that well first of all i've been around a long time larry i've had the fortune is to deal with you over to

yours and you've always been a fair guy i always respected you so i like to think that the people of arizona in this country respect is sure of. the insurer twenty four years longest in the history of maricopa county plus you know my history with the federal government all over the world so i have a lot to offer to go to washington not be a rubber stamp to still since i won't be running again. i'm not going to make a career so i don't have to be raising money the minute you get elected and dealing with lobbyists so. i still want to give something back i have a lot of great ideas and that's always going to be ok you've been encouraged by others to drop drop out in favor of kelly ward a tea party favorite. that makes sally a member of the congress too and she's the preferred candidate of. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. you think it's going to be rough running against them. you

know i don't go against my opponents i always run a positive campaign i always go to the people i don't have people who endorse me all the president's guys run a president the governors always want my endorsement so i'll ask for endorsement people know who i am. compare my fifty a year resume serving my country. versus my opponents but so i go on my resume what i've done my common sense and what i feel i can bring to our people here in arizona and to the country and to the president do you suspect i know you don't ask for endorsements but do you expect president trump to endorse you as the endorse more in alabama. you know what i was with the president from day one you know in july of two thousand and fifteen i predicted i

still i have great. confidence and he's my hero always will be not because of the party night as for that that was a little misdemeanor contempt a core i'm not going to get into all of the right now but you'll know very soon what the backdrop was. so poor him i know what he's going through the same thing i'm going through have gone through so i support him i won't be a rubber stamp for we have any problems are going to backroom with and we'll discuss those problems but do you expect him to endorse you i have no idea. not asking for but you know if he did it be an honor but. as the decision he has to make he's got big problems in washington and fight in the bureaucracy in the swamp and everything else so i don't know what deal making and what's going on with him and other elements like congress senate and so on do you

like do you dislike being compared to judge roy moore. i don't even know what that kind of action is well they say you have the same political opinions as judge moore you. don't see any comparison what political thing i just force in the law is i've been around a long time. in force and when i took an oath of office to do so i haven't been i'm not a one issue guy legal immigration let's get into some issues. the russian investigation do you support any effort by the president to fire robert mueller. i can't make that decision right now. he's going through situations that i. going through in directly to the facts what's going on in washington his situation so i'll be talking about that very soon so i

don't know if he's we should never underestimate the president sees pretty good at what he does and we'll see what decisions he makes i do know and i think everybody else knows he's not bashful vs make decisions he'll do it so this is something i can't comment i don't know all the details i know a few of the details of that situation do you support a border wall i support a border wall i have because of my what fifty five years fighting the drug traffic in mexico or been all over the world i think we have to keep the drugs. coming in from mexico we have an epidemic so i support the wall not just for illegal immigration but keep the drugs out of our country and i think that's very critical these days would you have voted for the tax cut tax cut as great

a trade people with knowledge are spending more money and so in a perception i'm sure they're going to get the money but the economy is going on is going great stocks and bonds are great so he's done a great job but sometimes it isn't get the credit but he'll continue to do a good job as time goes on do you favor legalization of marijuana. no i don't i do i wish there was something more we could do with a medical dispensary help our veterans people who are sick i still can't understand why you can't go to a drug store on a prescription and get to this type of drug but. the medical dispensary is i kind of support it if it can help the. the sick people but i don't support. using or selling marijuana.

across our nation actually it's against the laws against the federal law anyway the president's infrastructure plan. it's a major plan but it would put a lot of burden on i resign the taxpayers do you think of the infrastructure plan. you may build in our bridges and highways you know of course i would have to pay it's a load well you know it's very important these highways by ways bridges and so on this is our great country we got to keep it going we give billions away to foreign countries may we go out of star use and money to help our own country and it's very important to keep the highways go on in the bridges you name it so i'm for i'm honored per cent on that one it puts people to work too. you favor funding for opioid addiction treatment yeah of course i do course i do out there my fifty

fifty five years all over the world fighting the drug traffic we have to do something larry this is destroying our nation but you and i we've lived through this throughout our careers and years about the drug traffic everybody talks about doing something instead we have drug traffic out there after all these years so we have to do something different and i'm sure there's one guy who could do that as the president of the box he has different opinions and normal bureaucrats you know and i don't want to show how about the dreamers sheriff doc they have a path to citizenship that's a tough one larry. it's a tough one but i have my own i did and nobody will listen to. what i think well i think we ought to deport them when you could you come across. the dreamers send it back where they came from because you and i go back to president kennedy

the peace corps were volunteers went up in the mountains i would like to see the dreamers go back to their country and be ambassadors for our country pass the word and also learn their own country and then eventually maybe six months or so in a back across the border give them the green card and won't have to worry about amnesty or anything else so i think it's a win win situation but nobody wants to talk about it but i will they did come here they didn't wasn't that decision they came with five years old six up as you know i know is still a violation of the law so. i won't bet on the decision larry i wouldn't bet on congress company up with a decision they haven't done it for twenty years every time there's an election they get around making a decision on illegal immigration so i won't bet on this one either so you would have the dreamers go back and be like. he's called for america and mexico

yeah we have religious groups a goal over there on missions they go over there they don't get paid or anything. and it's great to our young people to go back and bass orders and mainly to look find out what country they came from they don't even know where they came from so i think it's a win win situation if i get into the senate i'm going to keep pushing that because i don't think anything's going to be settled this time around i may be wrong should john kelly resign i'm not the president not going to get into the bureaucracy of the white house i know most of the people i work with and when i was helping them on the campaign so i just don't like the president being. you know controlling try to control people to talk to him i've always had an open

door policy to me anybody can talk to me so why can't the president talk to some people that he wants to talk to and not being blocked out but you know that's the bureaucracy once you've got the power you try to isolate the boss and in that situation occurs announcing new going out but i don't know about general i never met him why why do you want to do this. hey larry come on. don't ask me to a question because you're eighty four yeah why are you still working well i don't want to get involved i don't want to go to washington joe. on this sandwich. but since you asked me my age so what. do you want to.
