watchdog announces that it will discuss reinstating the russian anti doping agency is a member of declared non-compliant in the wake of the twenty fifteen doping allegations . russia's foreign minister reach rates moscow's willingness to cooperate with britain on the script in the case but not on the principle of assumed guilt and after some strong reactions from u.k. politicians. you know you see that athletes across the world protest please how do we get to this point well before our concern because of the magnitude of the scandal which happened twenty fifteen you know the allegations of

a state sponsored daubing system that's very severe obviously entailing very severe punishment because a lot of athletes have been banned the agency disbanded a list of criteria naming thirty one things that were side i had to do in order to be considered for reinstatement and as until this week twenty nine of them had been completed now only two remained and according to the today statement it's out of the way as well but again it's too early to say whether you know the russian sports ministry is uncorking it's champagne tonight journalist alan moore and sports expert ellis cashmore told us about russia's progress in its anti doping efforts and its chances of reinstatement to wada. i think they want to make sure that this stigma that they've attached of the last three years sticks and in other words you know even the russian will be allowed back into sport they want to make sure that every time any commentator on any radio or t.v. station anywhere in the world mentions

a russian athlete they say they make mention of the fact that they threw years in exile because some go in violations in reality of course every sporting nation on the planet is engaged in some kind of doping violation it's just that they've been a bit cleverer about it the russia or that russia has simply been singled out as a kind of scapegoat which would be my view frankly but at the moment we're not about to go into that we're about to deal with the facts as they comprise this and i think we will know the truth seven days from now but my feeling is that russia will be really. have completed as much as possible and far more than a new order doping agency in the history of water have been able to do and achieve so in all fairness they should be reinstated should be brought back into the family and given an opportunity to prove themselves however i think politics might yes

play a bit of a role but then again the i.o.c. the international impotently are on russia's side in so far as they want to see sport progress and by exclusion of segregation on the drug sport down into a very very dark place i think for people within that system within k. with the new cards they need to sort of look at the closer to home they are very right to look for a clean sport or to need to start at home because the russians it doesn't matter what happens newquay or in the usa or in ireland russia has been trying to clean up its own house and i think if we all did that and help each other out and were a bit more understanding i think that the. we would finally maybe get to something that. might be called kingsport. murderess having a holiday from hell and only strengthening the case against them just a taste of the responses that greeted our team's interview with two russians

accused of carrying out the nerve agent poisoning in the u.k. city solved russia's foreign minister spoke on the issue for the first time since our exclusive during a joint news conference with his german counterpart here's what they both had to say mostly on the ship all our official requests receive just formal notes and even simply spoken responses boiling down to your guilty all we need from you is to explain whether it was an order or an accident used 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 which have been for months when we got the information on the script case from the u.k. and we have no doubts about it who 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. i need to even spot reaction from the former british foreign secretary reportedly can turn the for the

next prime minister boris johnson but you know you see the you see what's happening now with these two two characters produced in this city through kuwait by putin own russian t.v. these ludicrous she questions make a mockery of the whole thing and it really makes my blood boil 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 concious classic mistake of thinking it

was possible to have a reset with russia and. then it just became clearer and clearer to be true that was there 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 so well. he is widely tipped here by the bookmakers to be potentially the next conservative leader so clearly his

views are getting a lot of air time also the current lead to resume a prime minister her spokespersons rubbish the interview 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 or 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 spokesperson for the russian president vladimir putin he said that russia would

consider any request to interview the men from the u.k. in accordance with russian law but moscow is yet to receive such a request from london to remind you the two suspects accused by british authorities of poisoning former double agent scruple came forward and spoke to artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan deny any involvement in the incident. was the new to me and 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 front. lawn. if you really look like the pictures shown to us by the u.k. doesn't mean that if. you are someone who are you. we are those who are shown to you in the pictures. and i would say under powered through the russians there are those your real names national yes they are real

names and i would suggest that even now when you are talking about it to tell you the truth you look very nervous on them. 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. and you me know and you and i don't either but no one accuses me of working for the gerry 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 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 we're in the fitness industry lottie's editor in chief said she didn't give her own view on purpose preferring to leave it to the viewers to decide

whether to believe the man or not is what she had to say after the interview i mean you know there 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 that i did not run a polygraph on them as a journalist i believe what i 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 see that the former british diplomat craig murray says the immediate rejection of the suspect story is 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 the idea that they went there on the third of march time soulsby 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 business of art is very troubling indeed given that this is meant to be a criminal case and this is meant to be. a possible trial and where you know potential defendants have outlined very 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 before to just and it isn't hard evidence of anything except to people walking around the soles because that's all it shows plainly of a british government p. determined this investigation on day one the day after the skipper attack happened

basted up in parliament and said russian government to done it and they've been trying ever since then to fix the evidence. and found that conclusion which is not the way an investigation should be done. pictures released by the us army seem to indicate france has a much larger military presence in syria than previously thought of more money after the break. with the advent of the trump presidency much has been said about america's culture wars even a new civil war the country is clearly divided but trump didn't do this on his own there are two americas now call exits.

they're. already on the table which. discrimination and marginal. orthodox church one. if accepted will presuppose the ukrainian or so the church should change its name and that it should be a name to the russian orthodox church in the ukraine it is something. on the joy. in his.

back new 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 can be seen in the background of a photo from dare resort where the us is fighting what's left of islamic state terrorists the pitch that was quickly deleted on the dubin ski has details. well we know that the u.s. army released this photograph on wednesday to show which special operation joint task force on the ground in syria in this particular region did but what the egalite members of the public clearly spot is a french military vehicle in the background now people have said they're 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 airspace over the last three years but in particular it's been aiding forces on the ground as they fight against by some forces now we know that france has pledged in the past 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 northeast of syria within the framework of an inclusive and balanced governance to prevent any resurgence of i saw 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 an attack on the syrian grand scenario with their troops seemingly absolutely on the ground in this area that nobody has acknowledged previously perhaps france is raising an even bigger warning flag. and while reports have surfaced in the german media suggesting washington's been pressuring berlijn to get more militarily involved in syria as well the new sponsor of the research service of the german parliament to remind authorities such

a move would be unconstitutional unless approved by parliament. a soldier from the left party gave us his views on intervention in the conflict it would be totally illegal under international and german law remember there is no indication towards germany to contest it in military action in syria the only force in the fight in syria of those that are invited by the syrian government of bashar al assad and no other forces have been authorized if germany wanted to participate in that conflict all the us or the french troops for that matter then they should seek authorization by the u.n. security council under chapter seven otherwise they must stay out of the conflict if they had proof of chemical attacks then why don't they put that proof to the test by bringing it to the u.n. security council where the world can look at the group and see for themselves if it's really true or just added evidence like when they started the iraq war.

impartiality of google's once again been called into question after a leaked video showed the company's executives expressing disappointment in twenty sixteen that the long term selection when one quarter has a story. google's always tried to maintain 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 and 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 moment i really

felt like we were going to lose and it 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 it 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. i had no. and you tube's move to hip popular users before conservative users especially presidents not draining the time it is 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 work lean when it came to political bias hate speech or other inappropriate content the company always claimed it had its reasons but with insight into what the top brass at google is apparently thinking perhaps it's time for a better understanding of what bias really means quarter r.-t. . funded the u.s. officials say four people have died since tropical storm florence made landfall on the east coast and began battering north and south carolina florence was downgraded
