in an effort to mend ties with ankara rex tillerson has met president as well as the country's foreign minister the nato allies have been at odds over washington support for kurdish militias in syria ankara is angry the u.s. banks groups that turkey calls terrorists to this and trying to ease tensions by claiming the support is limited however this does not seem to be enough to appease ankara. always been clear with turkey that the weapons provided to the syrian democratic forces would be limited mission specific provided all of the experimental bases to achieve knowledge very objectives only we demand that this relationship and by that i mean we want them to and all the support given to the syrian arm of the p.k. k. the y.p. g. . well let's take a closer look at the two groups the defense ministers are fairing to you they're the p.k. k. is the kurdistan workers' party a group fighting turkish authorities for more uncertainty is both ankara and
1:31 am
washington consider them a terrorist organization however america and turkey have different views on the syrian based kurdish militia called the people's protection units or the wife p.g. and her regards it as a branch of the p.k. k. and therefore terrorists but the us led coalition sees the wife e.g. as allies in the fight against islamic state in syria when in january the pentagon and state was creating a kurdish led security force on turkey's doorstep in northern syria in response and her launched a military campaign against kurdish militias they're threatening a direct clash with american forces when tillerson arrived in the turkish capital he was met by a large number of protests against his visit earlier we spoke to the president of the kurdistan national assembly of syria a bus eve believes the differences between the u.s. and turkey we can't resolve. this so us knows clearly that
1:32 am
turkey has a lot of support for islamist group or in the only way to stop that is using the kurds working with the kurds therefore you will see the differences are and will continue your in turkey if they want to resolve this issue not by attacking the kurds of syria and killing children women and this is something i think the u.s. administration knows. to crush the kurds not to stop isis or element of that nature so therefore they will this issue will remain a cia whistleblower is finally a free man after spending more than three years in prison but is that the end of the story and discuss this life after a short 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 in train the new
1:33 am
stage who are the players and what are their aims and what is winning. the issue of korea really believes we're about to conduct a preemptive strike this could be significant in a serious preemptive strike that may. they may be motivated to make it to try to be this is the by have the first right. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i wanted. to go right to the press this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water.
1:34 am
welcome back home a cia employee and whistleblower jeffrey sterling has been released from prison after serving meals and three is for violating the espionage act. well the activist and spokesman for geoffrey sterling is now out on the line with the now live on man cody on thank you very much indeed for joining me we've got a couple of technical issues but let's get to the case here can you enlighten me one of the latest updates surrounding jeffrey sterling's release. thank you for having me on jeffrey is now doing in home confinement at his home in st louis he was in a halfway house for a couple of weeks and prior to that he served about two two and a half years in
1:35 am
a federal penitentiary in colorado well let's also look at some of the wording that the judges used as well i mean at the time that they said the circumstantial evidence and this is what new information is that could clarify this circumstantial evidence that was used to convict jeffrey and this is as this become public since his release. no this is this is a very difficult case to impact because this started back in two thousand and two thousand and one jeffrey was a cia officer he's a he was a has a law degree spoke perfect farsi and he was hoping to be shipped in to to work in the in the middle east and stead prior to his assignment in the middle east they said that it was a going to work because he's too big and and too black and he said to them when did you realize that so they went from one job to another job to where it was dust jacking in new york and he decided at that point this isn't what he was signed up
1:36 am
for in the cia when he came in in one thousand nine hundred three he backed off he stepped down from the cia and he pressed discrimination charges those discrimination charges had to be dropped in early two thousand even tried to rejoin the cia and drop this discrimination charges and early two thousand move ahead he was during that time period the reporter new york times reporter james wright and now with the intercept was having about fifty conversations back and forth with jeffrey and then james rise and released a book about two thousand and five called state of war in which he disclosed the cia's botched release of nuclear plans to iran even jeffrey tried to tell a senate intelligence committee about this information. they tried to go after james rise and find out who his source was from two thousand and eleven to twenty fifteen and this gets to your question what was the circumstantial evidence they couldn't
1:37 am
find what they were going to do with james horizon just around that same time they arrested jeffrey at his offices where he was working in missouri so he was on hold while the rise in case was going on when they dropped the rise in case because obama did not want to go. after a reporter because the heat was on obama in the obama administration because he was going after a journalist they went and took jeffrey to court and by taking jeffrey to court the only type of evidence that they had was circumstantial evidence of metta data and cia agents saying that it was a disgruntled employee that released information because of his discrimination code case jeffrey has has maintained his innocence for almost seventeen years and in the meantime as well while he was serving his sentence he was he with peace and he was with each of us use medical care for
1:38 am
a heart condition that he said that that he had i mean how is his health now i mean and how they've been able to get out there. yes that's how i got involved in it i was running for u.s. senate i heard about what was going on and i've worked with other whistleblowers like daniel ellsberg and john kiriakou so i actually had to go and do a vigil outside the federal penitentiary in denver colorado for several days and we had to go and lobby a u.s. senate office in order to get some very basic medical care he was given some cursory care he is going to be seeing a medical specialist hopefully in the next couple of weeks but it's very complicated you know with the requirements now that he's under in in-house confinement are quite daunting from. making sure that he's doing his meeting with his caseworker that he's handling all of his calls that he's
1:39 am
trying to continue looking for work so we hope that in the next few weeks we'll have better news about how he's met up with his health indeed i mean to just to go back in time a minute the the bureau of prisons claim that jeffrey would fabricated his thought condition and was trying to cause a scandal psych unadoptable there's nothing for thence sorry about this i mean what kind of legal action might starting then to see against the u.s. government in light of his treatment and the allegations of discrimination cia. i couldn't answer that question and i would i would say that would not be a question that should be asked right now i think the question that should be asked right now is james risin is being interviewed by journalist james rise and just released a very important document excluding out donald trump for being a traitor but james ready's and has never asked about jeffrey sterling journalist or never asked about are asking about jeffrey sterling or talking about it and this is a man who has become an invisible man of forgotten man who is in my mind a hero
1:40 am
a man that has been mistreated because he's black there are the a.c.l.u. with me even handled this case and so we have to reach out to other types of outlets unable to tell his story and finally on one question i mean what jesse's plans now didn't play. well i talked about three times a week to his wife howie these are people with them of utmost integrity and he's rebuilding his relationship with howie unfortunately their cats had passed away he wants to get back the compress take care of his house he's hopefully going to be doing some publishing is going to be publishing a book about his story and we hope that it will be employed pretty soon and we'll leave it on mentone and to the sound spokesman said geoffrey standing thank you very much indeed thankful thank you for having me. now a week of competition has been completed at the winter olympics in south korea touching stories of mutual help and support have hit the headlines as well as
1:41 am
sporting control us a. look back over week one. and fortunately with these winter olympics the story has been that every other day yung chang treats the media with some sort of scandal so far perhaps one of the most disgusting ones 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 be ugly things started happening but you shouldn't get the impression that the olympic games are doomed because in many sports there is such a family spirit it's the kind of family spirit that goes first after nationality rivalry politics etc there was one good example when during a cross-country skiing competition a russian skier lost
1:42 am
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 would always say congratulations or if we've had a good race they will say congratulations to us three years ago and the entire russian women's team came up to our hotel with tea and cookies with our own her. not many people spoke 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 it was one of those moments in my career that i remember well i
1:43 am
guess when it comes to pull what i call rivals russia and the us helping each other out in sports it works both ways and here with me i got the silver medalist in luge british 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 a distant chris hi again congratulations and what's that story with the russian athlete i guess helping you out yeah thank you very much 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 technical help with with my pod with with fiberglass with with aerodynamics and although it didn't work because i'm 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
1:44 am
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 simulant enough are thinking about me and just trying to help me out and it's 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 be 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 a lympics this will all be behind us and we'll get right back to you know clean competition and a lot of fun. well meanwhile russia's team have added another silver in the skeleton to their tally but it was
1:45 am
a medal that might never have been the key to three google of had considered boycotting the games in support of his fellow countrymen who have banned over don't bring claims to go bob had to prepare all his equipment himself the ricci's team has led to a lack of coaches and the competition even did the same for his team mate well the results from pyongyang on friday twenty three year old natalia about owner took bronze in speed skating and cross-country skiing dinny speeds of also claimed a bronze in his event that makes a total of eight medals for the olympic athletes from russia. well for more on these and plenty of other stories think website also you don't call the lies are back with the latest headlines at the top of the hour to you again.
1:46 am
1:47 am
i. the other make they're talking back and a banker and fiduciary to fiduciary in other words are saying that bitcoin as he cannot launch the returns on bitcoin of made everything we do is a bank look stupid a mature and a low performance even warren buffett has not kept up with bitcoin nobody's got up at that point so they're saying that oh it's a non correlating asset ok what is up. that means stocks bonds and currencies are all in bear markets now and i'm going to continue to be in barricades and they're probably going to wipe out a whole generation or two currencies are the only thing is going to save these people and us from being fired so we're going to middle of the currency market because even if we get a little bit of those gains we've had a last ten years of big going it will save us from adding to report big red
1:48 am
negative year on year returns on every single piece of money management business we touch. with this manufactured sentenced to the public will. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the famous merry go round to be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. welcome one an old first on calling will show lights up
1:49 am
a sit down with mexico's cup team squad todo but first we're taking you to perhaps one of the oldest amateur football clubs in the world let's take a look at my first game was the first of august i was on nine hundred sixty. and it was like going into the room when i played there and advice of your friend took me along to what sort of. a fight in love with the club it is with my club it was a. little quiz for you which could have been spoilers well madrid's old white kids. which quote. you haven't players. three separate england guy which quote inspired one of brazil's football clubs ladies and gentlemen i do view corinthian casuals. what actually happened was in nineteen zero seven there was a split between the f.b.i.
1:50 am
and what became the i had. and it was quite acrimonious to do with amateur professional and the if i refused to allow any i if i play as all clubs to appear on the pitch is all 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 what i started in order to it which is what i went to brazil for instance that spirit was here with the knowledge you forty and just took the song in the first world. after the first world war the two clubs struggled. during 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 was a strong. into the f.a. cup. the first tonight entered a new competition. and enormous crowds seventy eighty thousand people turned up at the crystal palace. when i play people i knew call so you know it's. great she
1:51 am
in the thirty second fight either way it was still a little bit of romance i mean there was you still had people tell you got to watch the elements as played a professional but. professional for. christians. your reason for being in an existence and so it was felt the casual would always be in a. normally is friendly. i'm afraid. that you know a guy more interrupted everything. tell arriving here and settling down in this ground we were no bads we never had a full. corinthians in casuals men corinthian casuals playing without homes 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
1:52 am
the league because we didn't have a ground this is being built by volunteers at the club. and this. which is your personal. thing councils over a number of you. i mean the history one one adores that's why i'm here it's tremendous. of recent time as a prop from the brazilian troll and winning the socrates trophy which was put forward by socrates is as a wonderful trophy to win. but big one was the salary cock. bought a few years ago ten years ago and that's my pride of place for that for we sort of trying to stop it really is the goal of romance around the club because romance
1:53 am
doesn't necessarily. mean fact in most of the stories all true it is a wonderful story about it and that's when the penalty kick was introduced and we didn't accept that gentleman with she did they brought the files so we didn't think the penalty kicks were right and so to go it was told well to defend the u.k. if it was awarded to us we would keep more of now that didn't actually happen but it didn't happen all the time but it did actually i think it is a really fleece continues until anomaly and we've been so lucky in this. currently the. two all willing to play the game. how long that will continue i don't know let's hope it does. brian this is a very famous red shirt of course corinthians originally very famous for their whites will go into red shirts of manchester united experience ungraciously. two
1:54 am
thousand and four which of course many fans would know cristiana rinaldo manchester united shirts want to. come here and what was he celebrating it was to commemorate the most magnificent events in the we. the record. of manchester united i believe they used that as. of fact in their programme but perhaps they were a little bit unhappy with recruiting it and i think they've now got evidence and it's a record to feet in the programme is a standard thing. so the second offer is the one under. cameron who's the reporter cameron you look a very young much reports i wold all you sixteen sixteen so you doing your exams in
1:55 am
sixteen year olds do well you want to be a much reports. from a very young age. well i am. just. came down and put my love of ricing with my love of football and. club secretary and she let me do it and i've been a nifty is and we will get dragged talking about liverpool around madrid in milan. this is the real soul of football yeah yeah i really think we should. more young people should be watching. it's your right all right it right next to you can just get a feel. rush when you're saying in front of the t.v. i think young people. that most clips if you go see we talked about manchester united liverpool last of all the big boys they have. a shot
1:56 am
they've got a whole megastore that some of the bottom 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 have a higher it is very it has a silo it's a museum got the finest drink of course in the hash that's. a couple of things first we have. they corinthians said paolo yes when i was in the world cup in brazil i want to run the course a lot one of brazil's biggest clubs that was directly influenced by the football club as were several of us so there's that one we've got the pink chocolates golf but the something in it and i'm going to boy to know that my cameraman local wants to go i want to swell. the. culture it's got the original
1:57 am
corinthian well the corinthians badge grinchy in football that's what i. look at that beauty going to come back i'm going to pay for it don't worry i don't want to be free but that is the original shirts which inspired me to give us the the the the great nines the great clubs that apart from corinthians side paolo spoiled boy they sure are 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 state but football was in its infancy so. we were the first and we were trolling and giving football to the low how proud all you have a football club that many many football fans these days will not know about this is
1:58 am
inspired so many people but also managed to keep its amateur. 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. where players are being played a couple of hundred thousand chairman is a multi-billionaire. in reality we could be standing here today as a fifty thousand arena if corinthians would have to have those years ago yes but then. the principles that their campuses stablished and indeed at the beginning of football the idea was that it was a game for play. 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 fire the club because its
1:59 am
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 game and the ground. is the program the whole group that makes the program brian the chairman makes you realise that still in two thousand and i see where players are moving for one hundred fifty two hundred two hundred. fifty million pounds that the spirit the corinthian spirits of the gang is still a lawyer none of these players get. the money jamie doesn't get paid nobody gets paid for will they all do it for the love of the guy.
2:00 am
so we're coming to the the boardroom a for the guy. finish for the fun toss the guy here it's creaking casuals if you want to know. the parent club the mother club the fall of the club corinthians sarah palin is their quote keenan bruno the i've come all the wife from brazil to london of course parents or come back to the parent cloak came to do enjoy the game good guy was your game for so show us your corinthians so paul found out funds m v c's you'll put us on the club you had a good time fantastic for suppose the first time for something. oh my god the genesis of the bright because i sit down with write and mexico skip i'm dre squad don't go anywhere.
