the headlines when. the winter olympics come to a close in south korea and on the program. golden. about her achievement. this is. actually there are no tears at all i think when i get home i will be dancing and jumping for joy i hope by the time i get home i will realize what i have achieved. in greece asylum seekers are turning to. meet their on the program we'll bring you. their story. defense ministry says. this in violation of. the western media. that has broken the truce.

monday morning here in moscow you're watching international a very warm welcome to. the winter olympics in south korea wrapped up with major sporting achievements witnessed from athletes from all across the globe let's cross live now to. see you at the ground. can you take us through some of the highlights. well if we look at the medal table we can see that norway's on top with fourteen gold medals fourteen silver and eleven braun's but i guess one of the biggest questions for these alone picks was how well the olympic athletes from russia do

and the current circumstances following the doping scandal and all the other things that were happening around the team in the build up to the olympics and during p.r. chuang twenty thing as well while seventy are medals and pm chang is only minus twelve he compared to twenty nine team russian medals and tsotsi it stop a mind blowing result but it still deserves a huge round of applause given all the circumstances of said and given that most russian stars were not even invited it was mostly a team of olympic newbies but i'll tell you what did blow the mind of russian fans here and young chang that is of course the first gold medal that was won by the men's hockey team and twenty six years the final was tough neck and neck till the last second against the surprise silver medalists germany the red machine only made

it clear who's boss on ice in the extra time but the oh you are actually won a total of two gold medals and the first one was no less special it was in figure skating i can tell you that two russian teenage girls topped the podium after setting two world records in a row within just fifteen minutes but of course there was only one gold medal and you can share that and the jury decided that it was alina is the gift of a fifteen year old girl from. in russia she won by only one extra point and we've had an exclusive interview with the olympic champion. it is to night. before competition i fully distance myself from the outside world i don't read or watch the news just some t.v. series but this time i was very calm too i didn't mind the attention from the

journalists fans and the fact that i am participating in the olympic games for me it was the same as any other competition of course i supported the other athletes from russia but i didn't feel this big burden of responsibility maybe that helped me. she got off the book. you were so calm off your performance and everyone said that the only source single tear what did you do to say so spoil. this i'm good you know this is. actually there are no tears at all and i'm always like that keeping my emotions to myself but when i go home i always share all my emotions with my parents. i think when i get home i will be dancing and jumping for joy i hope by the time i get home i will realise what i have achieved. so you haven't been jumping and dancing so far when you put it to work so you can but i get i only during my routine. what about your relationship with the of kenya

made your rivals are nice but is it true that you are actually friends even if you have reason to do is that yes absolutely we have to go to have a coffee or a chat on social media between training we always share funny videos on instagram and have a good laugh together yes and there was a mission the order that all of you said you don't notice the media attention but we have to ask you about the american skates and ashley wagner who criticize your routine saying the putting of a very complicated elements at the end is basically cheating what would you say to her. no one knows because it just it if i can say that this only encouraged me to do more and better i wanted to prove even more that what she was saying is not true but you cannot prove anything to people like her you know that you know i say let her compete in the olympics for. my program and i'll gladly see how she managed to do it of course figure skating is developing really fast nowadays there's always a new generation younger than me maybe someday i might think like that too because in my group there are already some girls who can do quadruple john but i will try

as hard as i can to stay in sports as long as i can i'm already thinking about the next season is that everything goes which is skating all you think about but there's still the new push for now i cannot think about anything else i try to be as careful as i can and not make any mistakes so i can stay in skating for as long as i can the dorotea says in the sport. some forty seven thousand asylum seekers are found themselves unable to leave greece due to closed border policies and the e.u. tokyo called on refugees more than two thousand unaccompanied minors are waiting to be placed in shelters leaving many in a vulnerable situation. i'll miss about the senate. visit. but it took a good. deal on the day in a new bottle mosaddeq china six million get out of time so that a lot of these i mean did

a lot of. a lot of audience didn't get much for. your . want. your. very very need more it's ok. ok here. are your. i know you know i had vision on. bod how did. john i know but you know it was you on right now to leno in. my. lifetime and even did one upside down. and the just going to do nice to

know bob think i'm the messiah you. know will i have us all to often know one of them but i truly have little that's a lot of it and i don't. have a lot less than you know that dad always said how month oh enough it must have filled out a. lot of this should have special on a saturday is that you know one of you and take seven months diplomas not greece claims that stretched five times beyond capacity resulting in processing delays in some of those left behind including many teenage refugees have turn to crime to make ends meet it's a plight as following in a series of films. a little bit. because i'm a. little of this so there's weakness instead you know what it was.

and i shared among cover the. same unit or a. movie or a movie and photo of mushroom. moa is a cousin p. general point. i like to see that i think you would if you could offer us a. part of the. sex drugs and refugees premiering on this wednesday on r.t. international you can watch the full documentary right now on our website. one key destination for asylum seekers reaching europe germany is also struggling to cope a food bank in the city of s. and has taken the step of barring foreigners from registering citing the growing number of refugee applicants and concerns expressed by elderly germans the decision has drawn criticism and accusations of using a phobia. so

it's one of your call for two and a half months we have stopped the admission of foreign citizens because the percentage of foreigners is increasing to seventy five percent and we in essence want to give germans a chance to come to the food bank unfortunately we don't have enough for everyone. people are going to read difficult times because so many refugees kill too many people have been using.

syria's cease fire agreed upon by the un security council on saturday appears already to be unraveling with reports of violations in the damascus suburb of eastern ghouta the western media very quick to point the finger at the assad government to massacre warplane. reportedly dropped bombs on used in ghouta however that's based on information provided by the syrian observatory for human rights an organization that has repeatedly been accused of having a pro rebel bias however according to the russian defense ministry it was militants in eastern guta who violated the truce and moscow says damascus was shelled several times after the ceasefire came into force residents say they never believed that

the rebels would abide by the truce in the first place. this truce is similar to the others and we will see it being violated this is the same old story and we are the ones who end up being harmed don't you see the children the little people women and students who should we feel sorry for for these rebellious this is we are tired of shelling every day totally took forty four here one in my leg i am against the truce because it only benefits the read books but i hope that it will be over soon and that no gunmen remain there the resolution unanimously adopted by world powers calls for a thirty day cease fire across syria this it's hoped will allow time for injured civilians to be evacuated and for much needed aid to reach other stricken regions a number of terror groups such as islamic state al qaida and the latest incarnation of those who are excluded from the agreement and forces operating in syria are

allowed to continue anti-terrorist operations however despite all the efforts the truce appears to have little chance of surviving as what i guess the explains. thirty days of peace ceasefire of course all of syria sounds wonderful a pause for civilians time for food to reach the hungry starving people for the wounded to be treated no shelling no bombs and almost no chance. east ghouta a suburb of damascus the last to islamist stronghold in the area it's from here that rebels blindly shelled damascus killing and killing and killing civilians for years now the syrian army launches

a counter-terror alteration and buying international outrage. by the escalation of strikes me a living hell hell on earth unbearable suffering indiscriminate shelling of residential areas intentional and systematic targeting of civilians the human disaster enough dead children and nothing wrecked families the thing in syria is you can argue anyone is a terrorist given how much blood almost everyone has on their hands take the rebels and islam is to control east ghouta they put women in cages and the horse that them on to roofs to protect themselves from air strikes a literal human shield they shot the demonstrators beheaded prisoners cuts off people's heads on camera now they're allegedly forbidding people from leaving the war zone as rebels also did in aleppo the freedom fighters or

terrorists is. the last stronghold. or the syrian capital the surgeons or be. continuous attacks on civilians is the part of the city. and many civilians have died so far so that's why the sitting government better to do. is going to work but the flip side of course is that islam is rebels will say as sad is a terrorist they will show you their dead and say as sad did this and not say we're exempt from this ceasefire we can show him all we want you see now by a sudden blanket ceasefire across syria is optimistic especially when there's so many terrorists waiting to be killed. led the king of spain

up paid a visit to boss alone on sunday but he received less than a warm welcome with protesters taking to the streets. thank. goodness king philip's first visit to catalonia since the region's referendum on independence hundreds of people gathered in the city's center of the monarch arrived carrying flies in the forty's you can see they were met by riot police at a rally carried on into the night before the jailed catalan leaders who were of course and first and often the referendum vote last october which was deemed illegal by the spanish government here's a look back at how spain's biggest political crisis in forty he is unfolding. live

much. much much much much too late thank you lou thank you we decided to see the president vice president and other high ranking officials in the council on government. thank you i cut the regional snap elections that took place in december so pro independence parties when a new. majority in parliament madrid though remains firm in its position the

referendum was illegal warning that any attempt to an all grade the exiled cattle and leader cause puja model would lead to the continuation of emergency rule by madrid a talk of time between an expert on catalonia says people are getting tired with no solution to the crisis inside what we're seeing here is the the results of the spanish government's tactic of writing rule and the fact that january thirtieth the two main parties of the catalan independence movement were unable to approach was agreement as to the swearing in of the exile got on pres a lot of people felt quite deflated by the unifil of the leadership of the movement to get together at this crucial time. and so i want to keep the feeling worn out so i think we're in a position. where the world is feeling a bit deflated because of the failure of the leadership to get together and yet they are speaking out in the streets perhaps

a more organic fashion. sometimes the latest news looks like nothing new when the british magazine the economist recently ran a front cover showing putin as a meddling octopus attacking western democracies it was talking back to a tried and tested formula. i don't know what's more striking the liberals have been using the putin as a soviet ministroke a full decade although they've been using brushes and octopus for a full century. western depictions tend to sway in between the dream aggressive bear and tenacious while a. picture needs revising should show us as a giant squid russia as

a tiny little octopus we did title very biased you how do you know and it states menaces the world's democracies. this is a very. the funny thing is how this kind of thing is used to working even even today it will be more and more popular at this kind of a comparisons using more chiefs very popular during the times of the cold war era russia is no longer soviet union is presented as the same enemy you know

direct mini's the reason why you have this guy comparison this kind of campaign providing the campaign against russia is exactly because russia now is a relevant player in the global politics. twenty one minutes past the hour here in moscow some have hailed cryptocurrency is the future of money others claim it's a bubble about to pop miguel francis santiago takes a deeper look at how virtual currencies can be used. foot bitcoin russia global bought china in text form twenty eighteen in moscow and well this is another conference another opportunity to see what does the future have in store for us let's go. and this is it. main the biggest russian side from inspiring speeches by bus in an

international law change was of course the future of mining in russia. the problem is not in mining cryptocurrency but in people's minds it was like the situation when america was discovered people showed up on the land wasn't worth anything not manhattan or anywhere else but try to find facts in months now all these changes happened over hundreds if you speak but what we're seeing now is happening in our lifetimes with the key to the very near future so we ourselves will be harvesting the lords for investments in this new economy not just our children play some of this because it in use everything looks positive because russia has great opportunities with energy production and no energy surplus if all the chinese critser minus works moved to russia we could make use of our energy use up listen expand our capacity it's a great opportunity for us to use that way a person so i spoke about socio economic growth based on watching knowledge what

does that entail musingly is not china grandmother who should be focusing not on regulating the sector but on stimulating russia's economic development that's why we see creep to mining not as a business but as an activity that supports technology it will encourage the development of infrastructure in new types of energies i think and that means new homes new jobs and more tax revenue so she has produce what you call so what is happening right now after the creation of those miners you know steve russian chamber of commerce. took a national place we've been developing surprisingly quickly even though the russian chamber of commerce is a very old. institution more than one hundred years old but within the next two or three weeks we will introduce new technological progress is a welcome face of chamber of commerce drought russia big point russia twenty eighteen blocking form has taken us one step closer to realize that there are individuals in the russian government for the doing their best to establish a transparent secure environment for crypto mining business can become a new fighting sector of the economy in addition to both government and the people
