of moving the goalposts by easing some of the conditions placed on russian r.t. sport correspondent. picks up the story. for the last three years russian sport has been firmly sidelined as accusations mounted over state sponsored doping. the media has been and meltdown the b.b.c. sports editor dan ronan tweeted out what he claimed was
3:03 am
a letter from waters compliance review committee saying reciters prolonged suspension was already a done deal let's take a look at the whole picture just hours after rome's report what are published an official statement rubbishing these notions the world anti-doping agency this independent compliance review committee to deliberate a recommendation for the reins teeth ment of the russian antidoping agency what are also admitted it does not reveal information like that too often but it did so this time to put any speculation to bed it also openly said that the thirty one conditions it had put forward to restart it two years ago for reinstatement have been met conditions which included allowing u.k. anti-doping experts into russian labs to provide training replacing the personnel monthly orders by wada among others with the two most contentious ones knowledge of the findings of the mclaren report and granting unconditional access to your in samples in russia laboratories which have been under federal investigation though
3:04 am
those remained in limbo up until last week rolling forward a bit and the b.b.c. then publishes a letter from the russian sports minister to wada where he. agreed to all the demands and hope that the world body would reinstate were saddam so if that's the case and russia has ticked off all the criteria why is everyone so mad i want to make sure that this attached of the last three years sticks even the russian will be allowed back into sport they want to make sure that every time any commentator anywhere in the world mentions a russian athlete they say that they scream years in exile because some go in violations and they want to emphasize that point to advertise to the rest of the world how tough what it is and how difficult it can be to get round kind of the doping regulations in reality of course every sporting nation on the planet is
3:05 am
engaged in some kind of doping violation it's just that they've been a bit cleverer about it the russia all that russia's simply been say singled out as a kind of scapegoat and people are quitting their jobs because of it namely becky scored a retired olympic champion in cross-country skiing who stepped down from the review panel after its recommendation to wada the possibility of russia coming in from the cold is dividing the world anti-doping agency its vice president says she will vote against their reinstatement and she is being backed by australia canada the united kingdom the usa and new zealand who are all urging the agency's president to reconsider if you choose to reinstate trash or you defy the very wish of the athletes committees and urbanisation around the world have very clearly stated that they will not accept reinstatement now the sporting community around the world has spoken and the message is consistent and clear reason it cannot be declared
3:06 am
compliant until all outstanding conditions set out in the road map have been satisfied we believe that any compromises to the road map will tarnish what is reputation and bring global sport into the. repute essential to restart his revival is not set in stone and it could mean thousands of clean athletes in russia will be hitting the first hurdle when it comes to entering competitions all over again with their respective federations hands tied until rosado receives its normal operations so will thursday's decision by wada be influenced by sport politics or common sense . the senate confirmation hearing for donald trump supreme court nominee is mired in sexual assault allegations brett kavanaugh denies the charges while the president has been uncharacteristically careful when speaking about the case from power for insists that the alleged victim should testify before the senate before any judgment is made. when i first decided to run everybody said the single most
3:07 am
important thing you do is a supreme court judge again we've all heard that be done about a president i would say this i think he's an extraordinary man i think he's a man of great intellect as i've been telling you if you showed up that would be wonderful if she doesn't show up. that would be our boy. he'll up in a house more known donald trump's contentious pick for the political lifetime position. the hearings surrounding the appointment of a new supreme court justice by the president has turned into arguably the most burgeoning political issue in the united states at this time as the nomination process continues for brett kavanaugh we're seeing a circus of anger and accusations. writ kavanaugh mr chairman. mr chairman.
3:08 am
we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman a very warm welcome not the god given there in the movie or here. we cannot be recognized i move to adjourn america and i move. here's why the issue is so diverse to the u.s. supreme court has the final legal say on crucial issues and justices are appointed for life no wonder both sides want to put the balance in their favor so the gloves come off the accusations are now flying first a woman who is sitting behind kavanagh was accused of giving secret fascist hand signals it turns out she is the descendant of holocaust survivors then some misattributed quotes about birth control started flying around the internet hillary clinton herself was spreading this false information here for to birth control pills as abortion inducing drunks the such
3:09 am
a fool to me an issue for you to i want to be sure will clear this didn't happen you were spunk chicks to prove this false then kavanagh's habit of buying baseball tickets became breaking news investigative reporters. scoured his financial disclosure. and learned that he and his friends buy a ticket to a baseball game so as you can see there's still plenty of showing us to go around but then things got serious accusations of attempted rape which is career ending stuff in the age of me two came up christine blasi forward accuses brett kavanaugh the tempting to rape her back in the one nine hundred eighty s. when they were both teenagers at a party now she wants an f.b.i. investigation if the senators who have come forward and said they want to treat the seriously mean that then they'll they'll have an investigation of these allegations so that we all go into this more informed so twenty four women who went to high
3:10 am
school with brett kavanaugh signed a letter saying that they support the accuser then sixty five women signed another letter saying that they defend brett kavanaugh his character now those who support the democrats generally believe the accuser those is the republicans think she is lying and i've been calling her names not surprisingly the media is now taking sides this was intended. and i've believe perfessor ford cabinet has lied multiple times she's not sure when it happened where it happened who else was president she never reported it to anybody this is nothing if they get away with this there is then you have c.n.n. running the country because this allegation could be made against anyone at any time now the us department of justice says that it's not a federal case but it seems like proving guilt or innocence isn't exactly the issue here i think the nomination should be withdrawn the bar here is not whether you
3:11 am
have not criminally assaulted someone it's credibility trust integrity so who is brett kavanaugh now to some he's a well respected adjudicator who happens to have some republican ties to others he's a sexual predator now supreme court justice nominations often turn into political confrontations but rarely do they expose. deeply divided america. artsy new york. one of the most outspoken opponents to brett kavanaugh is nomination has been former presidential candidate hillary clinton however it wasn't long before many pointed out her husband former president bill clinton also faced allegations of sexual misconduct which didn't stop him from reaching america's highest office her husband when he was president faced allegations that were not the same as this certainly but had connections to these kinds of allegations from years ago have we learned anything over the years about due process not just for the accusers but also for the accused well i think that you have to take each of these situations
3:12 am
sort of on their own merits. one of bill clinton's alleged victims reacted by asking the f.b.i. to investigate her rape accusations as well. shows you the difference in the double standard that existed back then and still does today i think it's i think this is this don assuring that they can do this to mr cavanaugh it is the absolute definition of hypocritical and that's what's really disheartening especially for the american public to see these democratic leaders that have been elected being absolutely hypocritical and two faced really not only when it comes to the clinton trials where all of this wasn't enough what we heard it wasn't enough you can't come against him whereas a woman makes one allegation is refusing to testify there's no other information nobody really has any information there's no evidence that the word of this woman
3:13 am
that's not to say that sexual assault allegations are important but the timing is very suspicious of course so we've now shown that the congress the united states of america doesn't care about facts or evidence as mrs it's as about political differences. right to the u.k. now we're drug dealers only parking space on a crock pick up point no less frustrated residents in the british capital have taken the law into their own homes in a campaign to highlight drug crime in one london district let's take a look at neighbors in tower hamlets that's in east london commissioned an anonymous group of artists to make the sites they want to highlight a part and police in activity in the area the signs were quickly removed by council workers activists can hines believes that residents simply have lost faith in authorities the police are not tackling the problem of drug in their location in their part. of london and their community so that
3:14 am
few that they have to take the law into their own hands it's the same as the rest of the police tend to not be happy hand be around drug. the police seem to try. much more cautiously then if they're in other parts of london where the mayor of tower hamlets agreed with the activists call for more police officers on the streets he also stressed that local authorities had done everything in their power to deal with the issue can hines again say to those in charge need to take a different approach it's quite clear that the police and the government has lost the war on crime because what they have put the un as a crime when is quite clear is should be treated as a public health issue we need to identify like places like short it where did core
3:15 am
hides put a pen through to you for drug dealers to be done openly and we need to stay in drug counselors to help work with those people who are addicted to drugs. china is accusing sweden of mistreating tourists and even of violating their human rights not after a row erupted between staff of a swedish hostel and a chinese family over check in time. this is a kid this is the kid. this is. just. see. here. just. this. is like. a mid-month for police to
3:16 am
toss defenseless tourists it's a graveyard in a place is too much. chinese foreign ministry has made complaints to the swedish side on the urgent need to get out of the office to gain the case. because. we only know that we have done everything we could do for this guest but at the same time kind of except that there are staff are exposed to threats and the other guests will suffer from a threatening situation. not the last we'll hear about story i suggest that a delegation from the european parliament has been barred from entering the story

3:22 am
thousand new agents by twenty twenty that's a real shot in the arm for them when you think that there's only six hundred staff currently operating at the moment ten thousand people on the beat for frontex you'd think everybody would be happy to know of course they're not viktor orban the hungarian prime minister is said that this is a pro immigration approach migration policy that's been put forward he says it's angle of merkel the german chancellor who's behind it he's referred to these ten thousand frontex agencies as mercenaries that are being sent to his country he says hungary could better protect hungry gary and so he can better protect hungary's borders than the e.u. can well donald tusk the e.u. council president though has called on leaders to to come together in unity on the issue of migration to try and find a solution. to stop the migration blame game.
3:23 am

3:24 am
debate is about migration as the majority of the european parliament is absolutely . and very clearly and on time my government made it very clear that we want to preserve our right to make our own decision and we would like to let. our own country and we do not want to let and thirty or and the european union would like to take away this right. and they want brussels to impose or we got to requote those on the member states to you know distribute the migrants among you member states and that's a that's a clash between the pro migration majority of the european parliament and the hunger in government. i. israel has prevented a european parliament delegation from entering the gaza strip in a self-governing palestinian enclave that has been under intense really egyptian londoner and sea blockade since two thousand and seven. it's clear
