turkey shells syrian pro-government forces as they enter syria's northern region of africa currently a battle field between the turkish army and kurdish militias. examples of a russian olympic medalist in south korea have tested positive for a banned substance and this is now confirmed by russian sports officials. in japan the recently discovered state documents revealing mass forced sterilization prompted victims to break the silence. at time my parents told me the times operated on the now i cannot believe my father did. he was forced to sign documents by one therapist says.

question joining us this evening you're watching international. syrian pro-government forces have attempted to enter the kurdish held northern region of our friend however president there the one says that they were pushed back by turkish artillery fire i discussed the escalating situation now with our senior correspondent. well the video rumors and reports emerge that a convoy of two three hundred fighters militia fighters as had militia drove into afrin the territory that turkey is currently assaulting where it's launched its anti terror operation and they were they routine in a huge convoy with pickup trucks armored personnel carriers tanks you know with cheering cameras and and waved them we've confirmed this our video agency has shot the video in africa and this convoy was headed for afrin city inside the inside the

province itself and that's all we have managed to establish so far the president says that the syrian militias decision to went after him is an acceptable and it will meet with the proper response so aggressive words coming from what else are we seeing from the turkish side not only aggressive words we have footage for example of presumably the turkish army artillery perhaps air force borgnine near the convoy near the route that the convoy took you can see explosions there artillery by the looks of it there are reports of a number of people being injured the turkish president also added that this convoy of militias it turned around before getting into afrin city and there withdrew about ten kilometers back the way it came but here you can't say they

didn't have warning i need to be preparation on the ground takes time in the coming days will see just to afghan city and of course the forces they've been fighting against the kurds what's the reaction been to this while the kurds zero the white b.g. in this case which control afrin in which turkey recognizes a terrorist organization there's been all sorts of. talk about them making a deal with the with the syrian government but this wasn't the syrian government that went in this was pro-government pro-government militias the kurds of you know they've been joyful they've said our prayers have been answered the syrian the syrians are finally taking sovereignty their sovereignty seriously which you know is the exact opposite of what they were saying before they needed the syrian army to come in and perhaps help them in the in the fight against or you know offer a guarantee that turkey would he would withdraw the key figure here is as i

reported earlier as sad. as it assad is clearly a terrorist and is carried out state terrorism there is no peace in syria cannot be any peace with assad in power. the regime says we will hand over our regions to the regime's army we will never handed over that was then before the us led anti isis coalition began butchering each other now when everyone's dying and they need him asaad isn't such a bad guy anymore. if the regime is intriguing to cleanse the peters' cain people i deal in iran who publish however if it comes in to defend why puji the nothing and nobody can stop us soldiers simple if asaad took over african and african syrian territory he could this arm or sideline the y.p. ji ankara's enemy would be neutered and there'd be no more need to throw away

turkish lives the kurds in turn would survive and afrin will be turned into another crater it's the least bad solution so far the only solution to stopping this now kutluk your question but it is a very good step it's good news for us may god help them and everyone who supports our flynn but honey collette malitia we are all very happy about this decision and we want this crisis to end people can return to their homes we are waiting for the pro-government forces to help us the issue is no one trusts anyone the turks are afraid asaad will ally with the y.p. ji the white b.g. are afraid that asaad will sell them out to the turks and asaad assad probably wants both gone. we spoke to her saying by cheap professor of international relations that anchor is middle east technical university who says that if the turks enter the city of afrin itself it will take the confrontation to

a new level then turkey and after and then it will be difficult because the city war will start and it is another type of military confrontation for what turkish president say is that turkey's ultimate cleanup area from dubai p.g. whether he will reach it others question but at the same time the dialogue between turkey and the search region is very much. russia off that turkey regime. direct told at the moment turkey is rejecting this but from the syrian side this is not rejection maybe the russians arbitrary two sides. both samples of a medal winning curler from russia have tested positive for the prohibited drug melburnian that's according to russian olympic officials alexander crucial it has

already stated that he's never used banned substances he said to try and get reports from pyongyang. with this official confirmation from the russian side we now understand for sure that both doping tests a and b. were positive and this is bad news for the o.a.r. team and for the entire country of course as well russian sports officials have ruled out that there was systemic consumption of and that alexander crucial need ski could have taken the drug on purpose the man himself also reacted to this by saying i have never taken any banned substances openly stating that i have never used prohibited substances or competed unfairly since i started in sports that's why i'm the person most interested to see an investigation as soon as possible the russian olympic committee is starting

a comprehensive investigation of how the pills may have ended up in alexander crucial need skis body and some of the other key points that i should bring up here are that the concentration of mill donia in the samples suggests single use plus all the tests that crucial need ski went through before the games as many as ten and total were negative so that means that so far there is no proof of systemic use we have already heard suggestions about this unusual case that someone could have spiked alexanders food or drinks and the russian curling federation have said that they are opening a separate probe into these specific claims and for that they have already demanded c.c.t.v. footage of the places where alexander trained and state other curlers including the russian female team coach have told us that there is

a possibility of that kind of sabotage but there was reason you would miss them and you don't need to bring is a. agent to give athletes a local with any kind of banned substance that is hurtful and protected and just put it in a hotel room it's easy to be few can see the bottle and it's like locked then it can open it you can see it was locked he open it drink it and as long as you keep an eye on the bottle that's fine if you just like turn around for a second so he has this bottle curling is a peculiar sport where accuracy and intellect perhaps weigh the most important role so in a sense it may be compared to sports like poor perhaps nuker or bowling and experts in the sport have also told us that they can't understand how mold dhoni him could work and their case with its effect such as enhancing and durrance and helping athletes recover i think it is unlikely that a sportsman of such

a level as alexander the crucial need ski he used well done him on purpose during the olympics all sportsmen knew they would be checked moreover there is no point in taking a single dose to have an effect i don't really understand what what it would be approved for what it would improve you and your game kind of things to apply i don't understand what it will do for you and alexander crucial needs keys case the next stage is the hearings at the court of arbitration for sport which is temporarily housed here and yung chang they start on thursday february twenty second. we also heard on the issue from the press secretary for the russian a limp dick committee he thinks that given how closely russian athletes are being monitored in pyongyang taking a banned substance makes absolutely no sense. first of all we have to sort out exactly what happened a thorough investigation should be conducted on the matter because this instead of

raises a lot of concerns almost one hardly ever sees the opening clearly it's not needed there every athlete doctor or sports official will tell you that secondly banned substances words all can about doing which was found in alexander's blood doctors are found that the man discovered them will do only a mistake and once that has no facts of performance it was absolutely no sense in knowingly taking the soldiers north dakota moreover those two killers have passed over. the past two years alone even when the with the olympics you know never had any violations considering how close the russian athletes have been lodged at this little. substance two weeks before the event was just or so it was signed. said to japan now where recently discovered government documents have shed light on the practice of forced sterilization which affected thousands of people with mental and physical health issues the procedure was carried out under the now scrapped

eugenic protection it was adopted after the end of the second world war and it remained in force up until nine hundred ninety six it permitted sterilization to quote preserve the purity of the japanese race according to some estimates up to twenty five thousand people in total were subjected to the procedure the healer revealed records deal with fewer than three thousand of those victims some of whom are now taking legal action r.t. spoke with one of them. has a hard time going through the middle. one of the teachers took me as a casting at his house that i was constantly be used by his wife i never got enough never got paid and never had the chance to see the official paper to back my diagnosis either she hated me.

my teacher took me for a magical chacon and i was taken to hospital he didn't explain anything. when i woke up i was there stephen they told me not to drink water that's what i remember. at the time my parents told me that i was operated on and now i cannot have a baby my father didn't agree to reach us forced to sign documents by legislature and welfare or for science. but i had many chances to get married when i was young but have to the operation i felt period i married and divorced and married again my husband left me when i told him about the operation. of the committee further recommends that the state party adopt specific measures aimed at providing all victims of forced sterilizations with assistance to access

legal remedies and provide them with compensation and rehabilitative services. the government should make a point of pay compensation to them if i was not forced and the guy the break should be happy i know i will suffer until the end of my life if only i can be a one time. woman's lawyer told us that the fight is far from being over he says the japanese government's refusing to deal with the problem. well two and a half years ago i received a call from mrs zucker it was the first time i'd heard about this matter and we found out that people were taken to the facilities and forcefully operated on little hundred structures from the government or it was a whole organized system that japan still has a problem with ideas and eugenics and this you claim that disabled people have no right to live some psychiatry as to started speaking out about the things that they did not dance instead of taking their licenses away i think it would be better to

ask them to bring their confessions to light and open up the issue it was now that we're discovering the truth we need to make those responsible apologized and make sure the victims get compensation it's clear now that the main problem here is the japanese government continuing to ignore the problem and advice from the un. and japan's not the only country that has at some point resorted to force sterilization programs inspired by eugenics and the notable examples of germany during nazi rule and sweden both those countries since offered compensation to the victims. afghan citizens of submitted more than a million statements to the international criminal court alleging that they were victims of war crimes court began collecting testimonies in november of last year and the statements describe accounts of alleged atrocities perpetrated not only by the taliban or by islamic state but also by the afghan army and by american

military forces stationed some of the testimonies were submitted on behalf of a number of people and so the actual number of alleged crimes could be even higher we spoke to. the last fifty two members of his family in the conflict. in fact there are different kind of war crimes happened in afghanistan in the past sixteen seventeen years american bombing villages to bomb wedding parties that's one kind of crime another type of crime afghan security forces enters villages. without any reason do you kill people without you know identifying with the dealer against the government or dia just simple people living in the village. at the end of last year the international criminal court released a statement alleging american armed forces as well as the cia committed war crimes in afghanistan in the early two thousand is jennifer braden an attorney

specializing in foreign policy believes it's going to be very difficult to bring about justice there could be many more claims that come out these claims have come out against three different factions the taliban and their hakani network in afghanistan also against afghanis government forces or of afghanistan military there and as well as u.s. military and u.s. military personnel in afghanistan now on the domestic side the united states military code has a very strict in stringent of very long list of laws that military personnel men and women have to be subject to and they have to follow but in terms of international crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the international criminal court then no then the u.s. cannot be held under their jurisdiction because the united states is not a signatory to the rome statute which created the international criminal court so in that case it would be less likely that they'd be brought to justice by member states or those that are aligned or fall under the jurisdiction of the i.c.c.

. the mainstream media's trash talk on the existence of so-called russian troll forms has been increasing the littering the airwaves over the last few days and c.n.n.'s latest report has reached a new low quite literally. you look through the trash there what did you find. because. yes we did a. little study. rationalists for some says computer. comic stuff.

the latest hollywood superhero blockbuster blank has been praised all round but for some the problem caleb maupin explains the new hollywood blockbuster black panther is creating quite a stir in an era where diversity is a favorite word the film is seen as a huge breakthrough for african-americans the first ever be going to comic book story with a black superhero the cultural significance of marvel's black panther is immense sting praised for its impact on the black community it's white people as we see ourselves even as we like to see ourselves as again masters of our own destinies not waiting for white savior to come in and rescue us from whatever receiving ourselves now there's a common criticism of hollywood that film directors and actors of color are less

acceptable in mainstream culture so the fact that a film like black panther is making such a huge splash is seen as a huge breakthrough and success by many americans is positive african-american and heroes. and that's something that hasn't been in film and i think it's fabulous now this foley a movie that represents black people was like you know the good guys for once the name black panther brings a pretty loud bell it reminds people of the black panther party for self-defense an activist group in the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's that was quite controversial across the united states now it's pretty clear the film is touching a nerve in us society as some say criticizing the film is unacceptable i implore media outlets to please seek out write us of color to you the black parents in the not so bold prediction of the first critic to write a rotten review of black crime for will be white now we decided to ask moviegoers

here in new york city if they thought the film was good or bad for american political discourse folks on the internet are saying that if you're white and you criticize the film that that's unacceptable that's racist do you buy that no absolutely not it's like any other film it's a bad movie it's a bad movie doesn't matter what color i think every movie should be criticized on its own regardless of where you or no matter what your background is people have their own opinion do whatever say whatever they want right now just let people be happy you know they'll read it good or very views if you read them later now the film is widely celebrated by advocates of diversity however some activists are criticizing the film for the fact that no l g b t scenes are characters were included it looks like today in the age of social media and you just can't please everyone caleb mop and art see new york. an anonymous trader has bought four hundred million dollars worth of bitcoin pushing its value back up to eleven
