. concerns are raised over the potential presence of french troops in syria released by the us army appeared to show a french military vehicle in the background. is just ten three am head in the russian capital you're watching international. there will be more stock has said it will consider reinstating russia's anti dating agency is a member after it was dick has non-compliant in two thousand and fifteen if allegations of state sponsored taping. the compliance review committee reviewed at length a letter from the russian ministry of sport to wanda and was satisfied that this letter sufficiently acknowledged the issues identified in russia therefore
8:02 pm
fulfilling the first of the two outstanding criteria of her saddest roadmap to compliance this is a huge turnaround in fact if we look at what happened earlier during the day when the british media particular the b.b.c. reported exactly the opposite of what eventually happened and the b.b.c. said that the c.r.c. the compliance review committee of water the world anti-doping agency would recommend to water to not reinstate it as part of the world anti-doping family but water came out with a statement of their own later during the day saying exactly the opposite that now the c.r.c. has accumulated all the data looked at all the criteria that they had to meet in order to be reinstated and will recommend the water to executive committee that is to consider russia result as reinstatement as 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
8:03 pm
apparently has been resolved russian sports minister had been very optimistic about the possibility of reinstatement it is important for us to reinstate the next world executive meeting we decision on september twentieth with hope believe we did everything that we could and we all ready to further cooperate with all of us to continue to work in this direction and follow common greens which are equal for rule suppose anybody's guess at this stage what's your opinion how do you think this is going to play out it's not set in stone obviously because the op. has been very vocal and has been a lot of opposition to the russian reinstatement within water. particularly from the u.s. anti-doping agency frankly stinks to high heaven what it should stop the sleight of hand and release the new compliance review committee recommendation as well as any information received from russia now showing their compliance also the u.k. anti-doping agency came out with statements and even letters to water and even
8:04 pm
a clip a video clip that they posted on twitter basically urging water not to take this u. turn there is a one of those taking place on the twenty fifth which is critical to the future of clean spool get behind hash tag no u.-turn order thank you do not use on the russian. do you not they are all athletes across the world. how do we get to this point well people are concerned because of the magnitude of the scandal which happened twenty fifteen you know the allegations of a state sponsored doping 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 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 champagne tonight. tennis talent more in sports experts
8:05 pm
has cashmore told us about precious progress tennis and today mean effets and his chances of reinstatement. i think they want to make sure that this stigma that the overtaxed of the last three years sticks and in other words you know even though russia 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've served three 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 big clever about it the russia or the russians simply been singled out as a kind of scapegoat which would be my view frankly but i don't moma we're not about
8:06 pm
to go into that we're about to deal with the facts as they confront us and i think we will know the truth seven days from now but my feeling is that russia will be really. completed as much as possible and far more than a new order doping agency in the history of water have been able to do. so in all fairness they should be reinstated this 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 economy our own wishes saeed in so far as they want to see sport progress and exclusion of segregation on the dark sports day into a very very dark place i think for people within that system within play with the new cards they need to sort of look at it the closer to home they are very royce to look for a clean sport or to need to start at home because the russians. it doesn't matter
8:07 pm
what happens in u.k. or in usa or in ireland has been trying to clean up its own house i think if we all did and help each other over for a bit more starting i think that we would finally maybe get to something that. might be called kind of. murderous having a holiday from hell and the strengthening the case against them just a taste of the responses created ati's interview with the two russians accused of carrying out the never agent poisoning in the city of seoul spray russia's foreign minister spoke on the issue for the first time since our exclusive during a joint news conference with this german counterparts here's what they both had to say. not 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
8:08 pm
a level is pointless we are still ready for serious dialogue based on the rule of international law but not on the principle they called highly likely to have informants when we got the information on the screwball case from the u.k. and we have no doubts about it but we're 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. the interview even sparks reaction from the former british foreign secretary and reportedly a contender for next prime minister or a strong person but you know you see the you see what's happening with these q two characters produced in this city to recruit. only russian t.v. these ludicrous she questions making 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
8:09 pm
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 kasik 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 possible to have a reset with russia and. then it just became clearer and clearer to be true that was before. 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
8:10 pm
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 to eat. well he is widely tipped 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 spokes persons 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
8:11 pm
public's intelligence and outright lies so downing street wasn't having any of it but most foreign ministry spokesperson maria's the horror of was unimpressed with downing street 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 to the two suspects accused by british authorities of poisoning formidable agents. came forward on thursday and spoke to artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan they denied any involvement in the incidents.
8:12 pm
we. knew them in them i've been to the one you called me on my cell phone and told me that you are muslim but shooting from the looks on the floor. if you really look like the picture is strong to us by the u.k. doesn't mean that if. you are someone who are you. we are those who were shown to you in the pictures. and i was under pair thrown at us and are those your real names national 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 and just one day and changed our lives. what do you work for the g.r.u.
8:13 pm
at work and you meet and you and i don't either but no one accuses me of working for the jerry he was 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 when 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 know everyone has questions what do you do to cut a long story short we're in the fitness industry. artie's editor in chief said she didn't give her view on purpose preferring to leave it to viewers to decide whether to believe the man or not here's what she had to say following me and. i 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
8:14 pm
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 see the former british diplomats craig mary says the immediate rejection of the suspects 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 so the idea that they went on the third of march time souls blew city center snowed under and stonehenge closed and came back and tried to convey next day is perfectly
8:15 pm
possible those were the weather conditions on the day i found the straightforward rejection of the story by the british who fart is very troubling indeed given that this is meant to be a criminal case there's meant to be. a possible trial where. potential defendants. have outlined their defense and the government is immediately said that's a ridiculous and it's an insult to make that defense that's not how you'd behave in a democracy in criminal cases this did before to just and isn't hard evidence of anything to people walking around holes because that's all it shows plainly of a british government determined this investigation on day one the day after the skipper asked for support tickets syrian kurds on the ground the president assured the syrian democratic forces that 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 while
8:16 pm
seeking for a political solution to the syrian conflict well that support from the french military has been vegas to what it actually means and what the context of that support actually is and there is actually a question over the legality of the french and the u.s. troops being in syria at all of course they do not have a u.n. mandate to be there 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. will seek retribution and retaliation for such an attack on the syrian grand scenario with their troops seemingly absolutely only grounded in this area that new body has acknowledged previously perhaps france is raising an even bigger warning flag. meanwhile reports have surfaced in the chairman media suggesting that washington has been pressuring belin
8:17 pm
to get more militarily involved in syria as well the news prompted the research service of the german parliament to her mind authorities such a me if would be unconstitutional and that's approved by parliament itself to have a solely from the last party gave us his speeches on intervention in the complex it would be totally illegal under international and german law remember there is no invitation towards germany to participate in military action in syria the only forces that neagle 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 of the wires they must stay out of the conflict if they had proof of chemical attacks but why don't they put that proof to
8:18 pm
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 good evidence like when they started the iraq war. moving on now and the impartiality of google has once again been called into question after leaks video showed the company's executives expressing disappointment back in two thousand and sixteen it don't work so that action when tom quarter picks up 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. her. because of the election i certainly find the selection deeply offensive and i know many of you do too this is none
8:19 pm
other than surrogate brin 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 entire 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 xena 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
8:20 pm
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 lead to. maybe a better quality of governance decision making and so forth solid explanation of ideologies that shapes the twenty first century sergei 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 hit popular users before conservative users especially presidents not draining the swamp diamond is that there's going to be bottles in
8:21 pm
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 and google google has always claimed its hands were cold 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. . can find the latest on any of all stories discussed today well headlines that.
