incheon thomas certainly glad to have you with us now world powers have approved a thirty day humanitarian ceasefire for syria a resolution was passed in a unanimous vote at the u.n. security council headquarters in new york artes and has the latest. there has been a resolution agreed on by the fifteen member body that leads the united nations regarding the situation in eastern guta this is an enclave to the east of the syrian capital of damascus and it's a place that's under the control of rebels and terrorists that are working to overthrow the syrian government since twenty thirteen it has been surrounded by government forces and the fighting there has recently intensified and we're hearing allegations against both sides about human life being taken about civilians being killed we're hearing accusations from the syrian observatory for human rights which is based in the united kingdom they're saying that that syria with the support of

russia is hurting civilians and committing atrocities against civilians we've also heard reports from the russian center for reconciliation in syria they are pointing out that the area is essentially being used to shell civilians in damascus furthermore they're reporting that the terrorist groups in eastern guta are working actively to prevent the medical aid from getting to civilians and they're using these civilians as human shield the resolution was passed calling for a thirty day cease fire now after the unanimous vote we then heard from various countries we heard from nikki haley of the united states and she said she doesn't believe the syrian government will actually comply with the cease fire. it is critical that the assad regime and its allies comply with our demand to stop the assault on eastern guta and immediately allow food and medicine to reach everyone who need to all of us on this council must do our part to press the assad regime as hard as we can to comply we are deeply skeptical that the regime will comply but we

supported this resolution because we must demand nothing less now we also heard from the representative of the russian federation now he addressed the security council and he emphasized that the fight against terrorism is not affected by this resolution that internationally delegated terrorist groups groups like al nasra isis that the fight against them is not restricted by this resolution that fight will continue he also had some concerns about how the fight against terrorism seem to be serving some other goals a. game of battling terrorism can't become a cover for solving geo political problems of dubious legitimacy and that is exactly what the u.s. is doing in syria right now we insist that the so-called coalition and its attempts and occupation as soon as possible it would have among other things a clear humanitarian effect nikki haley the representative of the united states walked out before the syrian representative could speak under u.n.

rules if the resolution pertains to you all countries have the right to address the security council the syrian ambassador to the united nations went on to point out that he said that the thirty day ceasefire should be implemented and not just implemented in eastern guta but also in our friend as well as in the golan heights beam if you've got it i mean this resolution must be implemented in all parts of syria including afrin and including the territories controlled by the united states extremist groups who use the ceasefire to regroup reorganize and receive more military equipment and to just. support you are trying to stop us from defeating terrorism in our own country our forces not thousands of kilometers from home fights against other countries we are fighting terrorists in our own land it looks like we have really been resolved and there has been a unanimous resolution passed by the body that leads the united nations investigative journalist rick sterling told us the russian amendments to the

ceasefire will allow anti terror operations to continue but i think a kid addition to the resolution was the inclusion. fact that the syrian government can continue the fight against al qaida and isis in east and i think that was the reason that it did pass unanimously with the support of russia and the encouragement of the syrian government the united states is said it's kind of at a crossroads where they're going to allow the syrian government to regain full territorial integrity and basically eliminate terrorism or whether the west is going to continue to support the terrorist project there that's really what's at stake. in other news the u.s. house intelligence committee has released a democratic party memo countering republican claims of f.b.i.

surveillance abuses it relates to the ongoing a probe into alleged russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen american presidential election r.t. samir khan has more. the house intel committee has released a redacted democratic party memo on alleged russian influence now it's intended to challenge the g.o.p. memo that was released earlier this month and that outlined a government surveillance abuses during the twenty sixteen election but the democratic party's document accuses the republicans of selectively drawing on coal highly sensitive information also calling it a transparent effort to undermine the f.b.i. justice department and robert muller but in early february trump a block the release of the democratic party for federal citing national security concerns but the republican memo claimed that the f.b.i. improperly obtained a warrant to spy on the trim campaign but specifically carter page under fisa the foreign intelligence surveillance act democrats however disagree saying that the f.b.i. did not abuse fisa that it would have been wrong not to obtain

a fisa warrant considering it was the f.b.i. who believed carter page to be a russian agent so interesting times we live in democrats are now in defending the f.b.i. now after the memo was released tweeted about it saying quote the democrat memo response on government surveillance of us this is a total political and legal bust just confirms all of the terrible things that were done so illegal and the white house has already responded calling the memo a politically driven attempt to undercut trump and once again reiterating that trump never colluded with the foreign government during the election now not sure how republicans will respond to this but it'll be interesting to see how they react political analyst to john griffin believes the democratic memo good actually help the republicans. in the democrat memo which is a few pages long all they do all they do is say that they started their investigation without evidence they essentially admitted to not having evidence and are pursuing this investigation without evidence and to send in other words they

got lucky with the steal. at least they thought they did and they use that seven weeks in so you're not talking about a long period of time between the time that the democrats initiated this investigation and they used to still dossier it's not an eternity here this is simply a partisan attempt to neutralize the the extreme series of instances of corruption here that have been exposed by the republican efforts if you look at what the f.b.i. did for example with clinton they essentially let clinton off the hook for divulging major classified information to the public through her servers so this is not something that the that the republicans have done to the f.b.i. this is a culture of corruption at the f.b.i. and the f.b.i. has done this to itself. clashes have broken out in a week before the tally in general election police in stepped in to break up

a student protest against the immigration northern part of. the rest started on friday in peace and a tour in and has spread to other talk and cities the northern league the main focus of the anger held its own rally in milan on saturday as well. politics professor marco but sonnie told us of that radical parties are seeing a resurgence in italy we turn to exclude a lot of things done for women. economic rights. but there is so there is another story the story is that there's a warning in this country there's a growing look legitimate station also right any kind of radical scenery team from the economic rises from bin laden do time i don't think that john ridley can go on

like this there are too many differences between the north the south and nobody addresses the real policies that change. even that could change the situation. spending goes up boring goes up the national debt is out of control and nobody talks even talks about the real issues. russia has warned ukraine it is making a colossal a colossal mistake after can have passed the law and the reintegration of the war torn down yeah it's going to guns regions moscow says it shows kiev is not committed to to a peaceful solution to the conflict and move undermines the minsk agreements that are currently in place the new legislation allows the ukrainian president to use the armed forces in peacetime against the breakaway republics and also does it makes russia as an aggressor state and labels the two territories as being occupied the conflict between eastern and western parts of ukraine broke out after

a coup in two thousand and fourteen here is how it all unraveled. the.

experts we spoke to agree that the law will do more harm than good in east ukraine it won't contribute to the peace process it will have to be either withdrawn or amended in order to accord with the means could remain simple as that i think but i think it's more of a a little small cancers for that process it's what i call double track studio diplomacy he wants to be seen to be a good guy but in fact the original agenda remains the same which is that he eventually wants to. make as big many problems for russia as he possibly can because i think he's probably acting according to an american nato agenda trying to setting in stone in a conflict will situation isn't it it's not going to be it's not going to did lead

to any constructive dialogue. with between the two solids the mean sea agreements is all we've got to hold the situation in as a frozen conflicts and it's better off as a frozen conflict than as a conflict and there are plenty of forces inside the ukraine itself and in the west that want to see a conflict here as a means of debilitating the russian federation on the world stage the breakaway republics have broken away the ceasefire laws have been established there's not going to be any change on the ground by fighting on attempts to talk about fighting as a resolution i'm not willing to stick. the canadian prime minister has been trying hard to blend in on his trip to india justin trudeau posed for the cameras in an impressive array of traditional outfits but for some it was all just a bit too much.

just in true those eat pray love spirit quest routine reminds me of the spring break yogi travelers i went to school with who came back from the far east where the next and you would drop it three year. is it just me all this choreographed just a bit too much now after we indian sun dress like this every day not even in bollywood stuff with a prayer hands it just looks like you're out of i.d.'s. obviously

we take the situation extremely seriously the individual in question should never have received an invitation and as soon as we found out we rescinded the invitation amaechi. a german newspaper has successfully registered a dog as a member of a major political party the social democrat bill says it pulled the stunt to show how easy it is to manipulate the party voting process as the s.p.p. decides whether to enter a coalition with chancellor merkel's party but some can't see the funny side as art has put her over explained it's almost certainly not the sound bite top german social democrats under expected to be having to give to the press this week it came

after the newspaper build a registered at named lima is a member of the s.p. day stating name gender occupation and age. they received a party card saying she was in the only reason that this is anything more than a hilarious mistake by the social democrats is that it's their party members that will get to decide on a coalition with angle or merkel's conservatives a no vote in not ballots well that could see fresh elections here in germany people who wish to manipulate the votes in a grand coalition through criminality could do just the same and that is what forced the social democrats into making their somewhat embarrassed. down and prompted me to enlist the help of my own four legged friends and luna to help come this one who teaches and some of the humans they grow with the thoughts that it's homes they are. going to use

a little telling losing about the children the next. oh yeah that's what she does she loves to greet so they actually. let them in the so really young dogs so i'm pretty sure she should run the most good to be a big election you know. what you're leaving she's one year old all the couple more years so i think it's too big a deal. do you think about they still want to have a career in the party. a fucked up i don't. know that interests. i agree but. think this is a real political issue no have to take you back on. the sort of political party. we'll call a. little bit of a. look. at your home to tell you how it was going to.

look ok. peter all of us all see that. some news just into our newsroom the head of the international olympic committee has announced that russian athletes will not be allowed to carry their national flag at the closing ceremony of the winter games in south korea. first. this is the right. clothes would be the only. child so. thomas went on to say that due to two doping violations at the ongoing winter games russia has not met the required code of conduct for its olympic status to be restored despite a series of setbacks there have been some impressive performances from russia's athletes and cross-country skiers alexander motion off and under

a lot of won silver and bronze medals respectively in the men's fifty kilometer race in london took the gold rushes out fleets have been competing under a neutral banner because of doping violations and have won sixteen medals at the games so far. you know half of the medals belong to skiers and that is despite the team being formed from a limited pool of athletes many just out of the junior ranks in the aftermath of the doping scandal now the eight medals they've won so far equal the record haul of russian skiers in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight and nine when it comes to skiing countries like finland norway or france might be the ones which immediately spring to mind not so much australia and even so three friends from down under decided to take part in one of sweden's most grueling events despite never having worn a pair of skis before. well

we had a few too many beers to be honest with our other friend that's doing the right as well morton and he was telling us that his dad has done fossil up at nine to come to ski race forty nine times and he said it would be great if you could do it with him and of course we all parties stick to this because he just can't do more than ten minutes of exercise but after a few beers it's easy to say that the. body would fit if. we we came into i just know farming cortona and explained if we wanted to do some beginners classes we never skied before and said what we need we're doing this race . and they all started laughing this is to thank you. guys my name is alexis the family originally from russia and build my coaching

career i work with the same row it's from i refuse to athletes from the very very beginning a level two olympic champion. it's going to be awful the longest we've done this forty two kilometers so far and morton ended up in hospital but i think we will finish we'll see. the supporter of president trump has received a slew of online criticism after american news network c.n.n. publicly shamed her for sharing what was claimed to be a russian coordinated event on facebook artie's jaclyn blog has the story. c.n.n. knows no bounds when it comes to tracking down anyone culpable of sowing discord in america and they start indictment filed last week detailing how suspected russian trolls use unwitting americans to undermine their own political process c.n.n.

has plenty of fodder like this woman from florida but did you realize that you guys were in communication electronically with russia they know they are your so what does she do to deserve such a confrontation goldfarb is guilty of having run a pro trump facebook page the promoter then event allegedly organized by the russians her objections to accusations of having any connection to russia however were all but ignored by the c.n.n. reporter you were posting in reposing almost word for word the information that was coming out of this internet research agency now there's virtually no you don't believe there are no now to no one's surprise goldfarb was viciously attacked online after the short interview spread like wildfire goldfarb should be ashamed of herself she is the fake get on c.n.n. for showing us who she really is a dumb thing if you feigned ignorance she knew people like goldfarb who shared

russian propaganda and who refuse to accept responsibility when shown should be prosecuted. goldfarb are you a communist maybe all deplorable is a commies but surely c.n.n. won't stop there when there are bigger fish to fry such as michael moore the hollywood director should be their next stop as he both attended and promoted around been organized by yep you guessed it russian trolls the kicker is that protest was titled trump is not my president meaning russia is also guilty of putting together events against the man they apparently want to see in the white house but for some reason i doubt c.n.n. will be knocking down moore's door to talk about that maybe because it looks like c.n.n. covered the rally themselves along with their comrades in arms b.c. thousands of people as you know alex are feeling marginalized by president like donald trump's comment they said this is a love rally after they pointed in that direction they yelled we're not going to be . tolerating any sexism or homophobia or racism so we're told that countless

unsuspecting americans and media outlets were duped by the relentless efforts of online trolls but where are those trolls getting their inspiration from more often than not it looks like they were simply relying on stories generated by the us media itself oh sweet sweet irony i mustn't be seen as a liberal host joy reid is a shining example of that her posts were retreated by count said to have connections to the kremlin hundreds of times and there are obviously a lot of questions about how much the trump campaign knew about and whether they were complicit in the russian attack on our election but what about the rest of the republican party machinery so to break this down the heart of the accusation seems to be that russia tried to divide the us by giving people a place to express their views and retreating mainstream media articles and posts written by americans diabolical if you ask me. makes the world's largest freshwater lake and temperatures of the best minus thirteen degrees celsius and you get an ice festival on a grand scale for lovers of chilly conditions

a small part of lake by call in russia's siberia has been turned into a heart shaped ice rink and playground the festival night rounds off with an atmosphere light show on ice. does that mean that love is on ice who knows and doesn't for mail be back with headlines in about thirty four minutes watching our trash.
