piece on the mainstream media exploded into a frenzy after the two russians accused of carrying out a nerve agent attack in the u.k. came forward and spoke to r.t. said it's a chief denying any involvement in the case. and in other news concerns raised over the potential presence of french troops in syria after photos released by the us army appear to show a french military vehicle in the background. getting to know thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. the world anti-doping watchdog has announced that it will discuss reinstating russia's anti doping agency as a member of solder was declared on compliant by water back in two thousand and fifteen following an alleged. doug scandal the reinstatement will be officially
2:02 pm
discussed on september twentieth the service says that it has fulfilled all of the criteria needed in order for it to be. a. first one to join me in the studio. this point what do you think is going to be happening now what does new recommendation really mean it is a major shift. of many sorts i would say because only just recently we heard from the b.b.c. that this will not happen that the compliance review committee will not advise to wider to reinstate oversight as part of the anti-doping family of the world if i should say so but now we haven't exactly official exactly opposite statement from water saying that it will recommend to the world anti-doping agency to reinstate rosado that which side are effectively has met all the criteria forward a few years ago to be reinstated and one very important part of that statement i believe we can listen to it now the c.r.c.
2:03 pm
reviewed at length a letter from the russian ministry of sport to one a and we're satisfied that this letter is sufficiently acknowledged the issues identified in russia therefore fulfilling the first of the two outstanding criteria for research as a roadmap to compliance so up until this week there have been two criteria remaining one of them is basically a public acknowledgement of the mclaren report findings and the other one is granting arks access for the water officials to the russian doping labs this has been one of the bones of contention the biggest bone of contention and now it apparently has been resolved i will not speculate as to whether the officials acknowledge the mclaren report or not or some sort of warding compromise have been reached but this is definitely now behind behind us the very few comments coming from the russian officials on that namely the sports minister of the country mr cole of course he sounded very optimistic about the meeting in seychelles next week . it is important for us to reinstate rosado the next while the executive meeting
2:04 pm
will weigh the decision on september twentieth with hope believe me we did everything that we could and we are ready to further cooperate with our foreign partners to continue to work in this direction and follow common rules which are equal for all. but again the b.b.c. reported only yesterday that this will not happen and apparently it was still a stumbling block for maybe a last minute letter coming from the sports ministry persuading the water officials or maybe not because part of the statement says that they want to put to bed all the speculation surrounding the issue and that's why they came out with a statement saying exactly the opposite what the british media reported just a fortnight ago it's a very strange situation where you've got you know russian sports officials saying they've done everything that they need to do confident that they will be reinstated media reports on the mainstream media same that's not going to happen we don't really know what's been said and what's been done a little bit behind closed doors so where does that leave us what do you think will happen while the meeting next week in the seychelles on september twentieth you
2:05 pm
know we can't say it's set in stone that it will be reinstated obviously there will be a lot of opposition within wider for instance the usa and i'd open agency they have been very vocal critics of even the possibility of being reinstated only just yesterday the u.k. and i don't being organization came up with a statement of their own they publish videos calling on water to not make a u. turn for the sake of clean sport so there will be obviously a lot of opposition but it's important to understand that result is reinstatement is vital for reinstatement of atlantic federation of russia of paralympians who are also suspended because of the dropping scandal of twenty fifteen and if it is reinstated that could pave the way for the entire russian sport to come back on the international scene and for anybody who may be kind of got lost because this is dragged on for several years now and it's going to go to all the first is about just remind our viewers what happened to bring this to this point it was
2:06 pm
a big scandal lots of top politicians were going to drawn into it lots of big officials there was an investigation but what they say essentially happened well has been suspended since november twenty fifth enough to the allegations of state sponsored dopping system. needs and so forth has been forced. i mean that russia has today or yesterday been privy to some kind of documentation we don't know but this is still an incredible turn of events for me yeah i think what you said there is particularly pertinent after so much denial i'd said this would be hugely embarrassing for russian officials top going crystal's if they were to then give out an apology and presumably would see wider publishing such an apology depends how much they want to embarrass russian officials it brings me to my next point if we've had the mainstream media just in the last few days saying that they're not going to be allowed back in we've seen documents this is not going to happen why go through if that's true why go through this circus of having this
2:07 pm
meeting and making an announcement do you think there's a an element of wanting to just embarrass russia and shame them a bit further to make them feel particularly reticent about what they did a legit i think they want to make sure that this attachment of the last three years sticks and you know the words you know even though russia will be allowed back into sport they want to make sure that every time any comment on any radio or t.v. station anywhere in the world to maintain discussion on such a level is pointless we are still ready for serious dialogue based on the rule of international law but not on the principle they call highly likely to shove in four months when we got the information on the script from the u.k. and we have no doubts about it we are also interested in an investigation of what's happened if everybody is ready to exchange information on the issue to clear up the situation nothing more than prevent an investigation. and interview even sparked
2:08 pm
a reaction from the former british foreign secretary and reportedly a contender for next prime minister barak's jobs but you know you see that you see what's happening now with these q two characters produced in this city to recruit by putin on russian t.v. ads. she questioned. her of the whole thing and it really makes my typically boris response really you hear him using vivid language about his blood boiling and he said that alexander patrol found respond to share of all murderers and that they're welcome to sue him in court if they want to challenge that fact and he also spoke of his work as foreign secretary saying that he holds the kremlin in absolute contempt and that he made what he called the classic mistake of trying to engage with moscow take a listen to what he had to say i made the coffee classic mistake of thinking it was
2:09 pm
possible to have a reset with russia and. it just became clearer and clearer to me that was. so when he was foreign secretary as top diplomat it was his job to represent the country to travel and he called himself a committed rasa file back in twenty seventeen it was his job to meet up with his russian counterpart sergey lavrov now however when he happens to be speaking in washington he says he regrets it all very much and it was a fool's errand and to quote something he once said about his own views that in europe his view on russia appears to have been like a supermarket trolley as well so quite an extreme reaction from the former foreign secretary why does the view of a former cabinet minister even matter well he is widely tipped by the bookmakers to
2:10 pm
be potentially the next conservative leader so clearly his views are getting a lot of their time also the current leader to resume a prime minister her spokespersons rubbish to be in to the that. alexander trough and we did with our t. saying that the account provided by the two alleged attackers is an insult to the public's intelligence and outright lies so downing street wasn't having any of it but most korea's foreign ministry spokesperson maria zahar of earth was unimpressed with downing street's response she came out yesterday questioning why london immediately dismissed petroff account forty minutes after that interview was first to add and the latest development from moscow comes from dmitri peskov the
2:11 pm
spokesperson for the russian president vladimir putin he said that russia would consider any request to interview the man from the u.k. in accordance with russian law but moscow is yet to receive such a request from london just to remind you the two suspects accused by british authorities of poisoning former double agent. came forward on thursday and they spoke to r.t. that are in chief margarita simonyan denying any involvement in the incident. was the new communal i've been to the one you called me on my cell phone and told me that you are a slumber shooter from the looks on the floor. if you really look like the pictures shown to us by the u.k. and that if. you are someone who are you. we are those who were shown to you in the pictures. and i would throw at us and are
2:12 pm
those your real names nationally yes they are real names. even now when you are talking about it to tell you the truth you look very nervous. what would you look like when your life is turned upside down in a moment in just one day and changed our lives. what do you work for the g.r.u. at work and you meet and you and i don't either but no one accuses me of working for the jerry used but you are being accused of that your colleagues accuse us of that by your colleagues you mean journalists you are being accused by u.k. authorities and yes that's the scariest thing where do you work if you are adults you need to make a living if we tell you about our business people we work with will be affected tell me anything so that we believe you everyone has questions what do you do to cut a long story short if you were in the fitness industry. marty's editor in chief said
2:13 pm
she didn't give her own view on purpose prefer him to leave it to the viewers to decide whether or not to believe the man is what she had to say following the interview. i mean you knew they were nervous and sweating a lot i had to turn up the air conditioning a lot higher than usual and still there were sweating and wiping their foreheads which obviously happens when people are nervous there could be a lot of reasons for it i understand this was the first interview in their lives but they could have been nervous for other reasons as well that's also possible they refused to show their i.d.'s on camera because they didn't want to be pursued and identified further but they showed them to me i did not run a polygraph on them as a journalist i believe what they see i saw those were the people i saw their i.d.'s and that they feed the photos and videos what was going through their minds and whether they were speaking the truth it's hard to say. former british diplomat craig murray says the media rejection of the suspects story is
2:14 pm
a concern. some of the things which were being said they widely in the u.k. particularly by the media to be implausible are in fact not implausible it turns out that it is absolutely true that stonehenge was closed by snow on the barge so the idea that they went on the third of march from seoul's blew city center snowed under and stonehenge closed and came back and tried to convey next day is perfectly possible those were the weather conditions on the day i found the straightforward rejection of the story by the british involved is very troubling indeed given that this is meant to be a criminal case this meant to be. a possible trial and we're potential defendants have outlined their defense and the government is immediately said that's ridiculous and it's an insult to make that defense that's not how you'd behave in a democracy in criminal cases these t.v.
2:15 pm
footage isn't isn't hard evidence of anything except to people walking around stalls because that's all it shows plainly of a british government determined this investigation on day one the day after the skipper attack happened stood up in parliament and said russian government to done it and they've been trying ever since then to fix the evidence. around that conclusion which is not where your members to go should be done. you pictures released by the us army appear to inadvertently expose a much larger french military role in syria than previously thought a french army vehicle could be seen in the background of a photo from diaries or where the u.s. is fighting what's left of islamic state terrorists in the area the picture though was quickly deleted he has details but we know that the u.s. army released this photograph on wednesday to show its special operation joint task force on the ground in syria in this particular region at dia as the war but what
2:16 pm
egalite members of the public. clearly spotted a french military vehicle in the background now people have said they sure that it's a french military vehicle because this particular type of vehicle is only used by french and saudi arabian forces and saudi arabian forces are not on the ground in this particular region now what it showed is that a military vehicle in the background of what's really interesting about this is that the french government the french military has never acknowledged that it has french troops on the ground in this particular area of syria now we do know that this area is where the u.s. backed fighters have been battling against the hardest and we also know that france has been part of a u.s. led coalition which has been cut. operations over syrian air space over the last three years but in particular it's been aiding forces on the ground as they fight against isis forces now and we know that france has pledged in the past
2:17 pm
full support to syrian kurds on the ground the president should the syrian democratic forces and the french support in particular for the stabilization of the security zone in the north east of syria within the framework of an inclusive and balanced governance to prevent any resurgence of i saw it while seeking for a political solution to the syrian conflict well that support from the french military has been vegas to water actually means and what the context of that support actually is and there is actually a question of the legality of the french and the u.s. troops being in syria to all of course they do not turn off a u.n. mandate and they do not have permission from the syrian government to be that we also know that francis repeatedly warned that if it believes a chemical attack has taken place it will seek retribution and retaliation for such
2:18 pm
an attack on syrian ground so now with their troops seemingly absolutely on the ground in this area that newbie has acknowledged previously perhaps france is raising an even bigger warning flag. amid heightened tensions in syria hundreds of pentagon troops and allied to rebel militants have finished rare large scale joint drills the outearned base that's the u.s. enforced the confliction zone top syrian rebel commander warned the drills are a message to russia and iran that militants intend to stay there these exercises are of great importance they have beefed up the areas defenses and have raised both combat and civilian capabilities and morale we are staying with are the russians or iranians once or not rebels call the drills a response to moscow's warning it could attack near the u.s. garrison in pursuit of terrorists linked jihadists russia points out jihadists are hiding in u.s. protected areas the last to know about the pentagon which adds that it is not
2:19 pm
seeking escalation and maintains de confliction channels with russia both russia and syria view the us in for steve confliction bases as a violation of syrian sovereignty middle east affairs expert alley risk things international law doesn't apply to washington we have these double standards when it comes to international law or you know international law as applied in the very selective way at the same time we see that the u.s. accuses others of violating sovereignty while the u.s. is the biggest violator of the sovereignty of other nations by syrian army and us allies if they do target these here was forces there is a clear legal justification because you know legally speaking as a sovereign country you do have the right to use military force against any occupying force be a your worse or from any other country as one get rid of what remains of terrorist groups in the country i don't think there's the syrian army will stand for

continued american presence continued american presence means continued american occupation. the partiality of google has once again been called into question after a link to video showed the company's executives expressing disappointment in twenty sixteen election victory quarter as the story google's always tried to maintain in a political front but recently tells a very different story and if true it outlines google's executives pick for president in the twenty sixteen presidential elections most people here are. pretty upset pretty sad for. you because of the election i certainly find the selection deeply offensive and i know many of you do too this is none other than surrogate brynn google's co-founder and if his assumption that every

worker in the video was a clinton voter was upsetting it gets worse that was the first a moment i really felt like we were going to lose that he was really doing all it did feel like a ton of bricks dropped on my chest and that right there is the chief financial officer of google's parent company alphabet ruth poor at holding back tears at the thought of their election defeat but whose defeat exactly last time i checked google wasn't a wing of the democratic party nevertheless they seem to have a mutual understanding on why trump won zina phobia hatred and a desire for answers that mean or may not be there here we have senior vice president for global affairs tend to walker looks like despite google's claim to objectivity walker's got some pretty partisan views on american politics but google maintains those are personal views ones that don't affect their product. to the rise of fascism and also to the communist revolution i think it's worth be very

vigilant in thinking about all these issues what can we do to to you. maybe a better quality of governance decision making and so forth solid explanation of ideologies that shaped the twenty first century survey but fair enough google is looking for ways to make the world better but that hasn't stopped the flow of accusations that their strategy is politically biased like that time google removed a pro-life singers music video on you tube they said. i had known. and you tube's move to hit popular users before conservative users especially presidents not is draining the swamp time with this it was going to be both in the back of a movie. but there are some at

google who don't agree with the company's liberal leanings james to moore a conservative engineer wrote a memo just a memo to highlight potential bias in google's policy and he was fired for it google has several biases a new discussion about these biases is being silenced by the dominant ideology what follows is by no means the complete story but it's a perspective that desperately needs to be told google google has always claimed its hands were collina when it came to political bias hate speech or other inappropriate content the company always claimed it had.
