for me was when a canadian short track speed skater was receiving death threats from the locals after she finished fourth first but then a south korean athlete was disqualified and then her position was upgraded to start place and that's when the ugly things started happening but you shouldn't get the impression that the olympic games are doomed because in many sports there is such family spirit it's the kind of family spirit that goes first after nationality rivalry politics etc there was one good example when george cross country skiing competition a russian skier lost a part of his equipment and then an american coach rushed to help him out if the russian sphere had to do this u. turn you don't come back to pick it up that would have been a disaster for the race but thanks to the american coach it didn't happen and we talked to the man the cross country ski family is is exactly that it's

a family we often benefit from russian or no region coach is giving our athletes a pole in a race and we'll do the same i would say it's very friendly when you walk by a russian athlete or coach will always say congratulations or if we've had a good race they will say congratulations to us three years ago and most of the entire russian women's team came up to our hotel and had tea and cookies with our or her continued and not many people spoke the same language we know a few words of russian a couple of them they knew some more english than we knew russian but we had a great time and that it was one of those moments in my career that i remember well i guess when it comes to poll when a call rivals russia and the u.s. helping each other out in sports it works both ways and here with me i got the silver medalist in luge wrist master who. definitely knows what i'm talking about

and he's ready to tell us about a story that happened to him a few months ago as far as i understand chris hi again congratulations and what's that story was the russian athlete i guess helping you out yeah thank you very much who is it was a couple weeks ago where i was having a very difficult last season people were starting to reach out and help me and there was a specific russian athlete he offered me help like technical help with with my pod with with fiberglass with with aerodynamics and although it didn't work because a much larger than he is the fact that he was willing to reach out and help me in such like a desperate time shows that sport can bridge you know cultures it can bridge politics that we can connect on the human level through sports and that's that's really what embodies the olympics here is that so many countries are coming together connecting through sport and it really shows the power of the human spirit absolutely this is a small little step it takes a lot of people to get one of these and i can't think them human enough for

thinking about me and just trying to help me out in a time of need i am very close friends with with so many different russian athletes and yes there's been a lot of scandals and i'm really i can't wait for the day that we can move past this and we can just get right back to sport clean sport it's so easy to talk about negative things but it's really difficult to highlight these positive situations you know who knows maybe one two lympics this will all be behind us and we'll get right back to you know clean competition and a lot of fun. of staying with the winter sports russia's team of athletes have added a silver medal to the tally but it was a medal that might never be scaled competitor nikita's triguboff had considered boycotting these games in support of his fellow country men who'd been banned over doping claims while the reduced team size has meant a lack of coaches at the competition meaning that nikita had to prepare all the equipment himself triguboff even did the same for his own teammates in other

resorts today in a telephone in a one bronze in the speedskating is worth noting she's one of the younger competitors aged just twenty three the same as the skeleton silver medalist from russia denise spitz of also took third place on the podium in his event that makes a total of eight medals for the olympic athletes from russia the. russian meddling conspiracy theories have been dominating headlines in the united states for more than a year now those pushing those theories the hardest the mainstream media and now also finding themselves accused of inadvertent involvement in meddling gently vigor explains. mainstream media in the u.s. has been shouting from the rooftops for over a year that russia interfered in the two thousand and sixteen us presidential election and one of moscow's most dangerous tools is alleged to have been online trolls russia meddle in the twenty sixteen presidential election here in the united

states russian interference went beyond the election russia was behind the election meddling if you thought the russians had stopped their active measures against the us they haven't it is a genuine threat to our democracy but according to an in-depth research project it looks as if those very outlets were the ones producing the news that was promoted by accounts claimed to have ties to the kremlin columbia university social media researcher jonathan albright went through thousands of troll tweets and looked at the news sources that the accounts were linking to in the run up to the election and the results are interesting to say the least the result from this sample of tens of thousands of tweets is that the most news in the six months leading up to the election isn't your typical hyper partisan fake news sure broad first but it's followed by a long list of what many would argue are credible if not mainstream news organizations number two on the list is the washington post who is also joined by the likes of

the hill reuters the new york times and irony of all ironies c.n.n. the idea that trolls were retreating real news not fake news as we were told before on hot topics in order to set the daily news agenda we have regional troll accounts consistently tweeting not only real but local news this pushes back against some of the more established narratives around hyper partisan media and fake news this headline from the washington post really says it all russia used mainstream media to manipulate american voters except it doesn't quite explain how sharing a country's own news articles can be seen as a sinister weapon used to change the outcome of an election. more than a year has passed since the libyan city of service was liberated from islamic state but local still. lived in constant fear the threat of jihadists returning to the area looms large over residents still see no sign of life returning to normal.

i. say. just because. it is a big mistake. these are everywhere granted food in the in the complex and actually is full of completely. mashed into the ground. and it's impressive even though it's been destroyed. so you can see here is damaged like it's been drawn on the site it's just. the area is completely destroyed and there is no local or international assistance for the population there are fears that ice will return to the share your again

this could be entrenched in after the one year war. people were displaced from this area even after the return to confine their homes because of the massed structure there is no house left intact especially because of the four planes bombing and everyone knows that i still must return at any moment to say job search and it's been the terrorist stronghold of the city surrounded by mountains and valleys and it's always been that. the president of the red cross has told me that not enough international attention is being paid to libya despite the number of devastating crises suffered by the country. i've been in libya for the last three days and what you can see is that certain parts of the country are of course quieter today maybe one or two years ago

in certain in other parts of libya fighting is continuing and therefore needs are enormous because of the disruption of basic social services health water sanitation and others impact on civilian population is important is heavy libya is one of those countries with the largest percentage of displaced populations and therefore do humanitarian needs are important more needs to be done to support the different or thought it is in libya more of course has to be done also to find the political solution within libya so there is for me an unquestioned necessity to put libya much more in the center also off international attention comparable to the attention the international community has other crisis is in the middle east. now the u.s. attorney generals accused of racism for using the phrase anglo american heritage we'll have details after the break.

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 interim a new stage for the players and one of their aims and what is winning. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. spend spend each image of the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game a great chance for. welcome

by activists demanding justice for those killed in the massive fire in london last year have chosen an unusual way to stage a protest they've borrowed an idea from the oscar nominated film three billboards outside adding it had three billboards to send a clear message trucks carrying the word seventy one dead and still not arrests and how were paraded across london. critics say the questions of construction and cheap housing quality have yet to be honest in the wake of jane's grim fatalities.

activists warn that many housing projects across the country suffer from the same construction problems as the tower and say that the authorities are refusing to take action on the situation a spoke to a protester behind that billboard campaign. it's been eight months since the ground fell tower tragedy shook the u.k. a twenty four story building was engulfed in flames the lives of seventy one people were lost with dozens more injured numerous campaigns protest demonstrations have taken place since calling for answers justice and accountability most recently london saw a campaign where several vans went around the center of the british capital with big billboards saying seventy one people dead no arrests how come for more on this

we're now joined by one of the co-founders of justice for grunfeld which is a grassroots community group obviously calling for justice and answers about thank you so much for joining us today two hundred ninety seven buildings that people are still living in today up and down the country that have the same kinds in the government's response has been to that they should pay for it themselves to take it down. you know lots of the survivors are still in temporary or emergency accommodation for those really and i think you know the survivors and the community i think prosecution of those responsible needs to take place we need to see people in the dark. and they need to suffer the same penalties that any other citizen would do rather than just kind of give him elected officials spy people treatment or how likely do you think that might happen given it's been eight months already and we haven't seen one name or person be held accountable do you think that is actually going to happen i think we're going to have to make it happen and we will

continue to come time to make sure that happens how real is the fear that something like this could happen again and while this investigation even is still continuing if i was sleeping in one of those buildings i don't think i'd be sleeping at night right now. you know you cannot put people in unsafe built ins and why the government isn't reacting to this quickly and wrap it in the way your home she your home is your hate than you have a right to live decent human right to have a say shall time we will continue to campaign you know look out for other things that we're going to and more keep those questions in the public to mind and we expect the government to respond to what's in the public to mind that would thank you very much for joining us here as well the officials are continuing to conduct investigations into what exactly happened at grenfell tower that killed all of those people and it's clear that the local community is going to continue fighting for those answers until they get them and say r.t. monday. the u.s.

attorney general is being accused of fueling racism on twitter after jeff sessions praised the quote anglo american heritage of law enforcement in the country his choice of words in a speech to a sheriffs association is being called insensitive at the very least. the office of sheriff is a critical part of the angle american here is a law enforcement but others insist that anglo-american is actually a normal way used to describe the country's legal system also known as the common law the us department of justice responded by saying that the term reflects shared american english heritage and former president barack obama also referred to the anglo american legal system in fact the term was widely used by other members of his administration as well but it seems that nobody took notice of that washington spirit can gauge reaction to controversial comments made by u.s. leaders and politicians.

i'm going to say donald trump a restaurant as sounds like something he would say it's actually obama says. he actually correct. if you find it offensive at all no. i just thought it would be him based on the other remarks that he's made but i mean if it's obama's fault i like president obama so i'm glad he said that. he. says definitely be is donald trump. why do you think that because he is offensive towards immigrants. is actually bill clinton really wow wow i did not say after all interesting but i wouldn't be surprised though because nobody really clinton as well. mike pence or jeff sessions you know the first question you told me the dalai lama.

you're correct on a ruling and all these offenses i don't think is offensive one hundred percent as you can guess no outrage so i guess it's all about the messenger and not so much about the message. supremacy of the oceans isn't just about who has the biggest submarines and warships it's also about who has the best navy seals quite literally . you all watching on t.v. think staying with this latest news headlines in half an hour.

when you don't. see. what they did they could put it. in the most true only ten space. let alone they. said. claiming to know somebody did that to. you speak french. most. of them. continue. to. blow the warhawks sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle is going. to do socks for the tell

you that will be gossip for the public but most importantly. doesn't tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all the one. if north korea really believes we're about to conduct a preemptive strike on this could be a significant and serious preemptive strike that may. they may be motivated to make it to try to be just the fights have to go first. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decades long debt. study and so hard it requires trust to. go through mediation to enter society. and paci dead

sometimes quite literally. want other true colors of universities in the u.s. . welcome one an old first time calling will show lights out a sit down with mexico's cup team under a squad auto but first we're taking you to perhaps one of the oldest amateur football clubs in the world i stopped to look and my first game was a festival so i was one hundred sixty. and that was exciting tonight when i played there and advice and your friends will be along to see what sort of. a fight in love with the club it is with my club it isn't. about

a little quiz for you which could have been spoiled well madrid's all white kids which quote all eleven players to three separate england guy which clover inspired one of brazil's bright football clubs ladies and gentlemen i'll give you 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 imus a professional and the if i refused to allow any i if i play as old clubs to appear on the pitch is over there so there was a complete split and then ruined in effect a match useful to corinthians because i had nobody really to play to see why they started a little tour which is why they went to brazil for instance that spirit was here with the knowledge you forty and just took the song of the first world. after the

first world war the two clubs struggled there of course a jury in the first world war. were devastated losing a lot of players over one hundred players between the two sides were killed in the one nine hundred twenty s. it will destroy the interview if i come. first on identity any competition. and crowds are seventy eighty thousand people turn up at the crystal palace. when they play people and you call so if you're going to. graduate in the thirty's they faded away it was still a little bit of romance of me and it was you still had people tell you got to see how much is played a professional. the. professional for you could say christians. your reason for being in the system and so it was felt the casual would always be in the leadership normally it was really. the. framework.

and said you know i know the guy more interrupted everything. how arriving here and settling down in this ground we went no bads we never had a long full. corinthians casuals and corinthian casuals playing with that. for the existence of tribes they were nomads until we came here which was in ninety nine when we had to settle the league through threw us out of the league because we didn't have a ground this is by volunteers at the club we can. get your. brain. number of you. i mean the history one one adores that's why i'm here it's tremendous. recent times apart from the brazilian. and winning the socrates trophy which was

put forward by socrates is a wonderful trophy to win. but big. part a few years ago ten years ago and that's my pride of place for the. romance around the club because romance doesn't necessarily. mean fact. most of the stories are true. about the. penalty kick was introduced and we didn't accept that gentleman was actually did they but they also we didn't think the penalty kicks were right and so the goalkeeper was told well don't defend the u.k. or if it was awarded to us we would kick it now that did actually happen but it didn't happen all the time but it did actually happen i think it is

a. relief it continues that. we've been so lucky in this current manager be. willing to apply for no faith. how long that will continue i don't know let's hope it are. very famous. of course. corinthians originally very famous for that whites will go into red shirts and munchies cheat on trade experience ungraciously boards team a real thing about two thousand and four which of course many fans would know the cristiana rinaldo manchester united shirts want to. come here and what was he celebrating it was to commemorate the most magnificent of events in that we followed the record. of manchester united and i believe they used that as one. of facts in their programme perhaps they were

a little bit unhappy with recruiting it and i think they've now got evidence and it's a record defeat in the programme is a standard thing. so the second offer is the one hundred. cameron who's the reporter cameron you look a very young much reports i wold all you sixteen sixteen so you're doing your exams in sixteen year olds do you want to be a much reports. from a very young age. well i am. just. came down she was and put my love of pricing with my love of football and. club secretary and she let me do it and i've been a nifty isn't we will get dragged he's talking about liverpool and real madrid in

milan always you don't all this is the real soul of football yeah yeah i really think we should. more young people should be watching. you right all right right next to it you can just get a feel you know rush when you all say in front of the t.v. i think young people. most clubs if you go say we talked about my interest you know actually liverpool lost all the big boys the thames got a shock they got the whole megastore that some the bottom tier of the emirates stadium that's right killing millions of times the corinthian casuals version place because you do have a megastore we do indeed and we're very proud of it is it's quite something. it's a shed and it's the emirates that manage to read history it has a silo it's a museum got the famous pink of course in the hash that's. a couple of

things first we have. they corinthians. yes when i was in the world cup in brazil so they swung around of course a lot one of brazil's biggest clubs that was directly influenced by the football club as were several others so there's that one we've got the pink chocolates golf but the something in it and i'm going to boys and all that might come in local wants to go i want to swell. the. culture it's got the original corinthian well the corinthians badge corinthian football club that's right. look at that he's going to come back i'm going to pay for it don't worry don't want any freebies but that is the original shirts which inspired him to give us the the the the great nines the great clubs that apart from corinthians. in spoiled boyish real madrid you know yes indeed los blancos. we

toured out there and they were inspired one has got to remember that of course we was the principal probably of the world it's a big statement but for people was in its infancy so. we were the first and we were told ring and giving football to the world how. crowd all you have a football club that many many football fans these days will not know about this is inspired so many people but also managed to keep its amateur. a close to the football club it's the be all and end all the way remember that we retain. a status we have or allow that not to be you know of recruits. where players have been played a couple of hundred times and chairman is a multi-billionaire. in reality we could be standing here today as

a fifty thousand arena if corinthians would have two of those years ago yes but then. the principles that there was a staff and indeed at the beginning of football the idea was that it was a game for pleasure. for you to enjoy and for the adventure the spectators to enjoy and the professionalism came in late which was against our creed and we don't wish to join we've had office to be taken over for somebody to buy as a club because of its name and it's prestigious but we won't do it we never will it will remain the top playing amateur aside in the country. while i played the game because i love the guy and to the ground. players the programmes the photographer the mikes the programme.
