from its. president mccord says he wants to reorganize islam in a bid to fight fundamentalism but some experts say that's a pipe dream radicalization in places like this they say it's already far too deep rooted to take out. r.t. trap. the u.s. is joining in the chorus of growing concern coming out of europe over foreign eisold fighters returning to their countries of residence washington has urged its allies particularly britain to pay more attention to citizens who fled europe to join the terrorist organization earlier the u.k. defense secretary said they should not be allowed to return i don't think they should ever set foot in this country again they turned their back on britain our values and everything we stand for they are the worst of the worst we're working with the coalition on foreign fighter detainees and generally expect these

detainees to return to their country of origin for disposition for now i saw terrorists of u.k. origin who come back and do face prison sentences while other european countries have tried to reintegrate a former eisold militants back into society denmark x. jihadists or even received apartments and jobs to promote reintegration. earlier we heard opposing views from our guests on how to deal with returning jihadists initially britain said we're going to make them stateless remove their passports not going to allow them reentry other countries then said let's take a more light approach some of the nordic nations said let's try to repatriate them have. programs which in part have actually been quite successful in some areas at the same time then the u.s. is now taking the lead and the u.s. defense said foreign countries need to repatriate their own citizens and deal with them using the rule of law and i think that's a sensible way to go they should not come back here it's as simple as that because

they've committed the crimes abroad so why should the taxpayers. foot the bill for all this rehabilitation and all the shore and then probably they do in jail for quite a while that cost more money when these crimes are being committed aboard let the authorities deal with it under the rule of law in them. you know there are lots of different stories about what happens to these people if we make them stateless stenciling they will stay out there they will keep breeding extremism terrorism and radicalization and they'll keep killing and they'll keep hating us so we have it's a problem have to deal with you can't hide from it you cannot fall back on this british passport so you know i committed atrocities abroad but all for we british passport into the mix so we get sent back oh no how do we know people have committed crimes without putting the evidence in front of them and putting them on trial just to assume people went out there so i don't want to go out of here i'm in london regularly on trial i'd like to go on in my own regularly well these are obviously the the un is so weak. the you again is so weak just nonexistent

the should have. should about the un peacekeeping forces making safe and so we could properly categorize these people rather than these people go in to fight for whichever side these people fight. against but now because the fight for the cure is to be classed hear it. come to decrease situation. the twenty third winter olympic games in south korea have just moscow past now the on half way point the olympic athletes from russia or our team has just won silver in the cross country skiing that's the tenth medal for the russians so far russia is officially not represented at the games because of alleged state sponsored doping in recent years and the scandal prompted the international olympic committee to ban numerous russian athletes for life the athletes appealed that decision on the court of arbitration for sports then overturned the lifetime bans for twenty eight russian

athletes at the start of february however then the court did an apparent u. turn saying it actually supported the i.o.c. decision not to allow some of the cleared out the leads to compete at the games and we spoke with the court of arbitration for sport secretary general asking him about the reasons behind both decisions the full interview available right now online at r t v dot com for now there were put preview these athletes applied but were united access to the games because the i.o.c. decided not to invite them so it was not just sanction it was an eligibility issue that's a legal difference for us. only reviewed the question of the application of the law of the rules of the i.o.c. it's reviewed only the process whether it was fair whether it was nondiscriminatory discriminatory. it found that it was not critical there was no.

the rules were not unfair and they have complied with by the i.o.c. so it was only a legally stick approach again there was no review of every. for the entire yuki's of the sochi case was not discussed here the metro report was last discussed here. the fact that you cannot establish the give evidence of the deal doesn't mean that you have established the innocence of the athlete this is the other way 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. we are not acting in the pressure so it was not a pressure for us because we have different panel of arbitrators they work independently and they are not really. they are not employees of caste they are

independent people. once they have been notified to the parties we will publish them. back to our breaking news for you this hour here on a passenger plane with the least sixty six on board has crashed in central iran that's according to local emergency services and the plane was flying from iran's capital tehran to the city of. a local media site eyewitness reports saying the plane was trying to make an emergency landing there are also reports there might be survivors now the crash site is located near cimarron in iran's central province reports say ambulances cannot reach it as it is in a mountainous area we understand an emergency helicopter sent there was also unable to land due to bad weather or bringing more updates here on r.t. when we get them for the meantime we are back in just a. hey

everybody i'm stephen bach. hollywood guy. every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and honored to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the brood have fun every day americans. and the story to bridge the gap this is the great american. slave all the season is a way to practice is the precious oppressive measures being deployed against the palestinian people everywhere the set of colonialism the theft and the

many many. of the stating things that something isn't doing of course they can cool the. uprising. good to have you with us today the u.s. justice department has indicted thirteen of russian nationals on three companies in connection with alleged meddling in america's twenty sixteen presidential election but us there is no criminal offense such as meddling in the united states the defendants were charged with conspiracy to defraud the united states and among the three indicted enterprises is the same petersburg based internet research agency which is accused of conspiring to sow political discord in the u.s. and other is a catering company which is suspected of having help too. fund the whole scheme in

the first place now the thirteen defendants allegedly used methods ranging from organizing political rallies to posing as grass roots activists and some of their suppose of methods though what kind of off the wall for example driving a hillary clinton imposing knighthood dressed like this one him around and in caged in the back of a truck they also allegedly bought facebook ads to promote a rally type hold support hillary save american muslims but despite the supposedly lengths gone to these ploys apparently and according to officials in washington had zero impact there is no allegation in the indictment that the charge conduct alter the outcome of the twenty sixteen election they wanted to quote so discord by. breaking into elections no stealing the numbers no changing the numbers no voter fraud no vote by merely providing information

through advertisements thirty listings and social media accounts that were shared by americans the mentally ends of dollars that have been involved in the russian investigation so far special constable council muller has indicted for people. for that that's all he has to show and so far nothing has been done let me remind you that we still don't know what russian collusion is we still don't know because deputy attorney general rosenstein today made it very clear that there was no evidence that anything that these russians or any russian did russian nationals or people who speak russian or people in the russian government but there was no evidence that any of this affected the election whatsoever isn't that fascinating and if it didn't affect the election

what's the point of this the meddling allegation saga has been going on for over a year now but it's still taking some surprising twists. with on top democrat investigating allegations of trouble russia finding himself in broiled in controversy as jacqueline berger explains in case you haven't noticed the democratic party is very worried about big bad russia the film portals into our society the kremlin clan russia has harness the tremendous and quite frankly to me frightening power of social media truly troubling evidence of the scope and reach of russia's interference in our last election and the top democrat on the senate's russian investigation mark warner is no exception to the rule i'm concerned. but the president still does not recognize the severity of the threat but apparently warner does and he will do anything necessary to battle moscow's

reach based on leaked text messages between the senator and a second party it looks like when it comes to the russian threat the ends justifies any means and clued in attempting to carry out some collusion of your own several of the messages show warner trying to arrange a secret meet up with christopher steele the former spy behind the now infamous trump dossier we want to do this right private in london i want to send less yet because if we can't get agreement would rather not have paper trail so who was warner depending on this set up the clandestine meeting with steel that would be one mr adam walton a lobbyist best known for acting on behalf of the russian tycoon i hear did a pasta and according to the text while mine is also connected to julian asuncion another person accused of being a kremlin puppet now this is all under the table warner repeatedly refused to make the invitation to speak to seal officially in writing while at the same time telling wildman that the pair's efforts would be helping america and apparently in his mind the way to do that is to be in coos with the confidant of one of the

richest men in russia and according to republican senator marco rubio the whole senate intelligence committee has known about the contacts for months so if the other the democrats nor the republicans care about warner's conduct is it just that collusion is a problem reserved for only one party or is the reality here that russia is just being used in a political game of chess one or said it one point we have to be careful of paraphrasing here i don't want a paper trail now if what he was doing was fine and dandy and innocuous and no big deal then why would he care if there was a paper trail he certainly should have or his staff should have known who he was communicating with who this lobbyist represented if you're going to talk to a lobbyist about getting a one on one face to face with christopher steele then you should know who you're dealing with in trying to arrange that need. the fix was in the ta is there between the democrats and russia more so than anything trump ever had to do with russia but

it just shows what hypocrites they are and the american media just ignores these things. are suppose of link with russia has also allowed it the dutch foreign minister in big trouble he is resigning after admitting that he lied about a meeting with president putin in two thousand and six but in a full over. done he won't. let me use the boat was. excuse. for. an emotional resignation how the departure comes just a day before he was supposed to meet his russian counterpart here in moscow let's listen just for a moment to the remarks he made that finished his career of fish in early two thousand and six i was invited to meet putin's countryside house i stopped at the back of a room or a meeting was being held but i could hear very well vladimir putin talking about

a greater russia he said this included russia roups ukraine and the baltic states and that kazakstan would also be nice to have. has now acknowledged it was all one big lie and that he wasn't even in russia in two thousand and six he said he did it to protect his source a person that presumably attended the meeting you know described it as the biggest mistake of his political career in response to the news the dutch prime minister said that the remarks of his now former top diplomat accurately accurately reflected russian policy at the time. we asked author and russia analyst martin look coldly about mr confession there are two reasons why he made that statement one is that it projected him into the public newspapers the headlines and so on this was a sensational statement to make and the second thing would be that of course it fed

into the need to. the native narrative the narrative of the west at that time still is which is busy and the russian sees. them as a threat to the national security and it fed into that and therefore for these two reasons then it appeared to be from the dutch point of view this is a very good very good thing to do. is get the breaking news story this hour the updates we have for you on this channel a passenger plane with at least sixty six people on board has crashed in central iran that is according to local emergency service as the plane was flying from iran's capital tehran to the city of. local media site eyewitness reports saying the plane was trying to make an emergency landing there are also reports there might be survivors and we understand the crash site is located near semi rum in iran's central province reports say ambulances cannot reach it as it's in a mountainous area also an emergency helicopter was sent there but was unable to

land we'll bring you updates or an r.t. international the very moment we get them in fact we can bring you some more details now of the plane in question with this suspected crash we understand that the plane itself is operated by as a man airlines and this is the third largest carrier in iran it operates domestic passenger and regional international services so we're standing by here on r.t. international for more details on this breaking news for the meantime though we are back soon with more of your world headlines. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside i. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion

from the fans it's the age of the superman ija billionaire owners and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. so it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so one more chance for. peace this minute. a batch or sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. you're at caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each bet. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still

some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. and is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos remember wolf it was dismissive to do it loving you i can lease with my compass appears i'm going out the door sonny i'll leave it there or charge without you tell a version the only palestinians who gets the most hopeful is jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who endured the local version did not only could do this

a lot and though it is unfair advantage to have this lady of the mossad which they are i don't want to go to me doesn't she would do more meetings last time but there's often. an attempt to get the degree which will get them that dream job young americans no longer hesitate to put their health at stake is the first day of term on the columbia campus one of the most. prestigious universities in the world more than eighty nobel prize winners have either studied to. justice and many other ivy league american schools some students take drugs to boost their academic results. mean defectives they can study through the night without showing any signs of tiredness you do my friend so you just. break it you go to libya and there are hours to. get. in the united

states these study drugs have become a public health issue more than a third of american students take them regularly. go to colombia thanks to an exam she took under the influence of infection. to avoid a disciplinary action she will hide her identity i didn't have any expectations of getting in the essay i wrote was an autobiography five pages i ended up taking a ph d. medicine it just it puts you. in a mental space where you can focus entirely why not take a pill if everyone else is doing it to give you a competitive advantage or a helping hand that she got hold off very easily. a friend of mine a prescription for a concert and he gave it to us for free i'm probably down like a dozen times or so. and you will see how these pills are almost sold us over the counter drugs on campus. we walk through the streets around new york university

with a hidden camera. after twenty minutes of searching become across this student we'll call him joe. seriously. loop it. just doesn't seem to be shocked we ask him if he can soldiers out. friends. like one or evil. like. the student got to three scription from a fairly unobservant doctor. many millionaires using. an elite league. group so josh deals the twenty five milligrams that he doesn't use and cell phone use after a few minutes of negotiation he lets us buy one of his pills ten dollars for thirty milligrams of amphetamines you know go and so they do here you.

know the relief that. ten percent of students who take drugs become addicted. lunch fats is very familiar with this phenomena of journalists at the new york times he was one of the first people to raise the alarm. but i have to succeed i have to get an a i have to get into the best law school i have to be in the in the cream of the problem if average is no longer acceptable we're all in very big trouble among the most fragile of students these pills can cause violence police in nations and suicidal thoughts. despite the risks a real traffic of these drugs has developed over the internet. this classified ad site well known by americans has dozens of office full study trucks. to attract students these miracle pills have even been renamed study aids. in order to get

hold of them a simple phone call will do. what. the police have been looking at these new internet dealers for quite some time. oktober two thousand and twelve operation dot com led to the arrest of twenty one new yorkers who were operating on this site. among them a student at n.y.u. . the aim of the authorities is to break up any traffic where doctors may be involved. on campus the addresses of these specialists are being exchanged illicitly we went to interview one of them. and it was not the psychiatrist you know what is it you know before i take a test or something and i pretend to be a student who is having difficulties over. the years were true would say.

exactly here in other words. no no health scan no verification of my student status instead of any medical examination he just hands me a sheet. of red with the words. this is do you have problems organizing yourself or concentrating do you have memory problems that you know that this questionnaire put together by the world health organization helps diagnose attention deficit disorders among adults. it will so works as a medical guarantee for this doctor is that you will be able to. read your post through to the source of the brutal and return of the large this and to yeah exactly this is what goals was. to protect himself from any possible prosecution the psychiatry is made to sign a disclaimer should research go for it ok that was the old as it was.

in two thousand and nine almost six million prescriptions like this were issued to young americans every month in four years this figure has more than double the to succeed other students hedge their bets on another system of co-working which has stood the test of time. back at the university of kentucky. these great victorian like buildings are home to the famous fraternity house on the front of each building week letters identified. ronald reagan george w. bush steven spielberg mark zuckerberg all of them have been through these exclusively male secret brotherhoods. although they encourage support loyalty and integration as a code of conduct many americans consider them as violent and sectarian.

after a few weeks of negotiations some of them allowed us to film them. it's rush week the week for selecting new members and tonight it's operation charm at the sigma alpha epsilon house. so the owner can see. the aim to find future flatmates for this brand new house located in the heart of campus inside there's a fireplace a club armchair paintings of the former alumni you almost could. us forget that students live here and we retire so these are all of our general championships. tonight the fraternity will only be create the university's best pedigrees. graham has been an essay member since two thousand and ten he knows the selection ritual well. for the house events are there as an event. we started a short history. there you go. the atmosphere is rather relaxed

everybody's trying to make a good impression you're going to take away the house in a couple of guys together don't you. good for their candidates the first visit is only the beginning of a long process selection hazing initiations to get a place here they will have to get through what are sometimes violent challenges but not tonight discouraging the contenders is out of the question their attack is still focused on the competing for eternity but for how far down the street their goal in this new house it's going to feel like one hundred square feet here in ars just to be bigger than ours but they're doing it like a two million dollar west budgets are struggling here to fraternities operate with huge budgets entry for the sposi students cost between one thousand to three thousand euros a year. the wealth of these fraternities is mainly gifted to them by former members it's you know kind of like a suite almost for two people but. benefactors who will become sponsors of these

students once graduated found this is a fraternity's main strength building a professional network to get re going door to hear that. there's a presence around it's kind of his role model. these fraternities are mainly hope to young white anglo-saxon americans. it's a great way of continuing a system of the elite and privileges spencer the town they are a very bad place to hang out. this student in the red shirt gets a slightly warmer welcome spencer is a different kind of candidate to the us. now i mean you're that idealist idea of a big head. you know. you know it's. there at the s.a.e. house spencer is already a little at home. his place in the house is reserved it's a family heirloom. for dad no serious serious. serious

secures. you prefer. their preferences. or its courtesy. at the university of kentucky twenty five fraternities shared the campus and the pick of the students quite apart from their power to beat ism they also indulge in fierce competition in terms of pot and alcohol. what's up. more in that this is what gives a fraternity its reputation these nights of heavy drinking at the end of the afternoon and of on a campus delta sigma fi house has already started to party we need more pitchers. delta is saying this is a new channel twenty two he's organizing the feeling he's in charge.
