and broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international and john thomas glad to have you with us. now syrian pro-government forces have entered the kurdish held northern region of afrin however they were immediately pushed back by turkish artillery fire our war correspondent reports. this was a demonstration hundreds of pro assad militia fighters with tanks armor brazenly riding into africa with smiles cheers and cameras. all those rumored talks and deals which would see the syrian army really end afrin have yielded nothing so far instead these militias just went in and the kurds the y.p. g a jubilant for syrian government has responded to the call of duty and sent military
9:02 pm
units on the state to deploy along the border and take part in defending the units you're serious theory three and. the turks well see for yourself and korea's response was explosive loaded and delivered in artillery shells but why did. it go on warned that this would happen no one may help the white b.g. he said as for the kurds themselves seize promised to put them in a chokehold in me a days i need preparation on the ground takes time in the coming days we'll lay siege to city what assad wants is obvious to protect syria's sovereignty and reestablish control prevent more of syria from being devastated but here you have two major anti isis coalition partners terrorist and
9:03 pm
aggressor as they call each other turkey in the y.p. g a partner in all but name duking it out beating each other to bloody pulp one might ask where is america the head of the us led anti isis coalition. but why you still here. why do these weapons still arrive america is in the process of creating a terror army on our good do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us we will run out of patience. the destruction of what's going on up in africa right now which is throwing off some of the syrian democratic forces they see their fellow kurds afrin under attack so there is cause in at least their attention to shift their let's not forget how it all began with this statement a us declaration that it would build an army of kurds to patrol the turkish border
9:04 pm
that sent into a fit of rage and it was that statement that was used to justify this new war washington backtracked it's now laying low but the damage was done the coalition imploded and it's up to others to stop this. we do not believe that the u.s. . the u.s. strategy depends on creating new chaos in the middle east to pursue its interests in this region it is sad washington set the fire that is now consuming its own anti isis coalition and burning africa into the ground the us role has been reduced to diligently expressing its concern worry but not regret. middle east analyst joshua landis believes american support for the current has escalated the conflict and the us has been supplying

samples of a medal winning russian courier have tested positive for the brand but the drug. according to russian olympic officials however alexander crucial next ski says he has never used banned substances or teasingly patrik or has more from country 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
9:07 pm
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 and 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 alexander's 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 already have. he
9:08 pm
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 publish them you don't need to be a secret agent to give athletes a bottle with any kind of banned substance that totally unprotected you just put it in the hotel room it's easy if you can see the bottle and it's like locked and then it can open it you can see it it was locked he open it and drink it and as long as you keep an eye on the bottle that's fine if you just like to 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 mole dony him could
9:09 pm
work and their case with its effects such as enhancing and durrance and helping athletes recover 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 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 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 heard from the press secretary for the russian olympic committee he thinks that given how closely russian athletes are being monitored income chang taking a banned substance makes absolutely no sense. first of all we have to sort out
9:10 pm
exactly what happened a thorough investigation should be conducted on the matter because this instant raises a lot of concerns one hardly ever sees doping in curling it's not needed there every athlete doctor or sports official will tell you that secondly banned substances were talking about doing which was found in alexander's blood doctors are found that the amount discovered means the muldoon was taken once that has no impact on performance there was absolutely no sense in knowingly taken this substance moreover those two curlers have passed over tanto you can test in the past two years alone even when they were preparing for their lympics and they've never ever had any doping violations considering how close the russian athletes are being watched at this lympics taking a banned substance two weeks before the event is just sports so was side sociologist cashmore says it is hard to imagine why it curler would want to use
9:11 pm
meltdown. and well done him of course is an unusual drug and no one is quite sure what its purpose is i mean it's a stand simply an over the counter drug although it can be prescribed also for heart conditions and it's men's we can't say for sure but it's meant to give advantages in terms of stamina to the take and as we've just heard curly it isn't a stamina dominated sport it's a sport where you need a cool head judgment and a steady hand and you can't see any obvious advantage is that would be conferred by mel downie i'm on a curl up. in japan recently discovered government documents have shed light on a forced sterilization program the procedure was carried out under the now scrapped eugenics protection law it was adopted after the end of world war two and was in force until one thousand nine hundred six it permitted the sterilization of people

9:15 pm
problem here is the japanese government continuing to ignore the problem and advice from the un. japan is not the only country that has in the past used forced sterilization practices inspired by eugenics among the most notable examples for germany during nazi rule and sweden both countries have since offered compensation to their victims. are torching gears completely now there has been a tense encounter at the un security council between the palestinian leader and the u.s. envoy mahmoud abbas he expressed his anger over the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital highly and one hundred. the us administration has not clarified its position is it for the two state solution or for one state and then in a dangerous unprecedented manner this is ministration undertook an unlawful decision which was rejected by the international community to take the issue of

nose. in the ribs to lure the yes that's today's world. or the latest hollywood superhero blockbuster black panther has been praised all around the world but for some it is a problem as artie's came up and 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 big budget comic book story with one 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 with a white savior to come in and rescue is 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
