threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. dramatic probably the only. i will see you. will be very critical. the world anti-doping agency votes to reinstate russia's own anti-drug decision signals a fresh start for russian athletics after three years in the cold. the u.s. takes a sanction swipe at china for buying russian military hardware. are circulating in the british press reveals plans within the prime minister's party to i was told and who's in the. video from wiki leaks julian assange made just before his internet was cut off for the ecuadorian embassy

in london in which he discusses a very broad range of topics. you're going to freak out a little bit because. other people. of color about why. but steve. welcome to world news from r.c. international the world anti-doping agency has voted to reinstate russia's anti drugs agency the body was suspended in twenty fifteen over an alleged state sponsored doping scandal i got more details from our sports correspondent. going back after twenty fifteen november when the allegations of state sponsored doping campaign kicked off. after that why the basically told there are thirty one things rosado has to do in order to be reinstated there's been no problem whatsoever with

the twenty nine of them which included inviting the u.k. anti-doping agency experts to hold training for the personnel change the entire staff at the saga hold monthly ordered by the world anti-doping agency no problem whatsoever the two things that remained on the compliance list were public admittance of the findings of the mclaren report and here is what the sports minister mr cole of course we caught up with him earlier had to say about that the decision is crucial for russia we've worked for a long time together with the international anti doping agency sports community we have reformed and he doping system we never denied the existence of and violation we will fully contribute to fulfilling the demands left on the rushes legislation and in fact what a splendid in detail in that statement which was published earlier today saying that on september thirteenth the russian minister of sport sent

a letter to water which amounts to an acceptance of all the findings of the international living could be to report which itself indorse the core findings of the water commission to mclaren investigation report including that and number of individuals within the ministry of sport and it subordinate entities were involved in the manipulations of the anti-doping system in russia you can see that this was enough to persuade wada to reinstate restarted and the second point very important one was granting access to samples kept in the moscow board story under federal investigation that hasn't happened yet but what it was very clear that there has only until december thirty first which is less than four months from now to give access to that the board sorry if that doesn't happen. goes back into the wilderness. of noncompliance so you know people are saying that russia hasn't comply and. you know they're they're wrong basically because we can see by the statement that it's in the works but it couldn't just be about ticking boxes on the checklist he must have been

a difficult decision off everything everybody's been through on that it's definitely been a very difficult decision for water and even in that statement. that the decision would be unpopular and would be met with a lot of criticism and in fact for the past week or so the criticism coming towards was way you know everywhere on social media in the in the articles on television. not only that number of and i don't think agencies in the world including the u.k. the united states new zealand australia poland canada they were all urging the president of water not to take the step to reconsider but eventually nine members of the executive board off twelve voted for risottos the statement two of them were against it one of them clearly is the vice president of water who said that she would never vote for him statement and one person abstained but even now the amount of criticism on water is going through the roof namely the u.s. anti-doping agency chief. he went as far as saying that water needs to be completely reformed off that decision it's

a blow to clean sport which you know is surprising because how would you expect the country to purify it sport if you're saying that it's agency which is destiny which is tasked to purify the sport should not be operational again. the decision that it made was a hard one but it made the decision and now the hard work begins that's a good news tentatively then for risotto what about the school side of things international expend a ration the russian athletes themselves what's next for them you know i would say people who are criticizing why they're heavily now are wrong and people who are celebrating this on this side are wrong as well it's not about a win it's not a last minute goal that russia scored to win the game it's a chance that wada gave to the russian anti-doping agency to have pure clean sport in the. this would change nothing for those athletes who have been accused of doping are serving their bans this is all about clean athletes the door is not shut open for them it's only they've been given the chance to open that door into the sport because one of the main conditions of the international association of

athletics federations to reinstate the russian athletes was that it should be operational meaning that you know athletes have to be checked for doping in order to be clean and in order to be participating international competitions flying the russian flag so essentially this happened now but a lot of work is ahead and make no mistake about it now recite it will be heavily scrutinized and will be heavily checked by water so it's definitely a long road ahead of some of the reaction then the deputy head of russia's anti-doping agency says a lot of efforts being put into getting back into compliance. it's been a lot of work this saga has lasted for almost three years a lot of things have been done the russian anti-doping agency now has a completely knee team the russian anti-doping agency now has a completely team it's been hard work for russia where it's a mystery as well as why don't they're provided international expertise to rebuild the capability of russia's anti-doping agency and from my viewpoint it's a well earned i think terry and it's not

a victory of just one and it is the logical result of the hard work of those involved. reinstatement of the result of that i mean this is a turning point in the in this whole story and i see it get we all hope the rush to get back to. the championships. to celebrate a lot of restructuring. that has been made and all the points. that's . what makes this decision very important it shows that there is a willingness to change seeing. what comes. the united states has imposed new sanctions on china footballing russian fighter jets and surface to air missile of washington also said it would continue sanctions to sanction countries that cooperate with russia's defense industry correspondent kelly i'm open to cross this for yet more sanctions from the u.s.

what can you tell us about these. china slapped with sanctions in response to their purchase of thirty of the su thirty five fighter jets as well as an s. four hundred missile system now heather nauert the spokesperson for the u.s. state department says this is about deterring countries around the world from doing business with russia's defense industry i let's take a listen to what heather nauert said explaining these new sanctions on china in response to their purchases we will continue to vigorously implement through america's advice service through sanctions act and urge all countries to curtail relationships with russians defense and intelligence sectors both of which to malign activities worldwide now china is not the only country in the world to have purchased the s. four hundred missile system from russia it's important to note that turkey which is a member of nato and a longtime u.s.

ally has also purchased the ass four hundred missile system now heather nauert was pressed on that and this is what she said. you know it goes against our policy to have a nato ally such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem with that it is that it is not in iraq will with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase that's four hundred said it would trigger carrots this action i'm not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world but it's not just turkey all over the world countries by russian military hardware. in fact india is currently in the final stages of purchasing an s. one hundred missile system of its own and there are a number of us allies around the world that are also planning to buy ass four hundred missile systems you will look at it saudi arabia

a very key ally of the united states in the middle east is in the process of buying us four hundred missiles so is tahrir and iraq the question must be raised why is it that china is being slapped with sanctions for its purchasing not just of the s four hundred but also the su thirty five jet fighter but the question is why are these other countries not being subject to sanctions is the united states actually prepared to enforce these sanctions across the board against anyone who would buy these missile systems or is it being enforced selectively that question is on the mind of a lot of observers ok we'll keep a watch out for reaction from the other care of mopin in new york thanks for that. the british press is abuzz over the prime minister and an explosive leaked memo it was first published by the telegraph newspaper not only reveals plans afoot by to reserve a conservative party to but also lists possible successes pretty boy has got more on that for. the big question is who comes next that appears to be the question

the conservative party is mulling over privately and rather actively on whatsapp conversations that seems to be where all the political party takes place nowadays and the list has been leaked to the press and it goes through all the potential candidates to succeed to raise their may and their chances i believe we can go through some of the candidates now let's take a look at the first ones which boris johnson. book is fruit after a jury could bruce morgue but the front runner never wins that's really interesting because as you heard boris johnson is the bookmakers favorite but he's controversial within the party but he's got sort of this strange leeson ceaseless. heal but as you saw there they're saying the favorite never wins so let's take a look at the next person on the list germ of it. trying to recover from referendum

position and well the current home secretary now of course is sajid javid does the post that to reason may have for six years before she became prime minister so it is seen as a doorway to the premiership he's young he's made some welcome changes in the home office he's kind of emerged as a real possibility to succeed although he has one thing going against him and that is that he is a lever that someone who voted to remain but is now committed to leaving which doesn't sometimes doesn't convince the hardcore leavers so let's go to the next politician that is the current foreign secretary take a look at what the list said about him jeremy hunt course near the front of the park coming up on the roof so that's the current foreign secretary but he was formally the health secretary and he's seen as a bit of a political survivor despite the fact that he presides. did over the junior doctors

scandal here so he's not likely to have many fans amongst the medical profession but as the list goes on to point out he is a real dark horse in this potential race to succeed to reason may and then last but not least we have the current defense secretary take a look at what the list says about him govern move. in full campaign mode but very reliant on controlling her own departure point so yet given williamson is very much treasonous favorite but the likelihood of her. he will not get that kind of medical treatment he must come out of the embassy and in order to get that medical treatment he must give up the right to asylum that he's been granted by the ecuadorian government. he has spent more than six years. under some forms of restriction on his liberty as a result of that investigation that has now been dropped he has already spent far more time in prison than he would ever have been required to for having entered the

embassy conditions we say he has served time and he has he had a reasonable excuse and that this is this is a minor offense the fact the real issue is and has always been the concern about u.s. extradition we are concerned about the prospect that he may well be sent to the u.s. and what treatment he would suffer once he's there we know that chelsea manning the alleged source of wiki leaks material was subjected to inhuman degrading treatment according to the un special rapporteur and we're concerned that julian if he is sent to the united states will face a long and drawn out process and it will take many years before we are able to make the arguments that we know should and should win which is the constitutional argument that he has the right to the first amendment for his publishing activities no publisher should have to face this join us i just always said that he's happy to face british justice but not at the risk of facing american injustice we entirely accept that he can and will face any process within the u.k. related to potential bio proceedings but he should be able to do that with the

assurance that he will not be extradited to the united states to face prosecution for having exercise internationally protect the rights of free speech to publish material in the public interest. the armed forces of israel and russia have agreed to better coordinate following the downing of a russian aircraft off the syrian coast early this week it comes after representatives of both militaries met in moscow the russian defense ministry previously held israel partially responsible for the incident. the meetings were held in good spirits and the representatives shared a professional open and transparent discussion on various issues both sides emphasized the importance of the state's interests and the continued implementation of the deacon for. system. on monday evening syrian had to fend shut down the russian plane killing all fifteen people on board while responding to one of strike by israeli f. sixteen fighter jets it happened around thirty five kilometers off the syrian coast

as the ak craft was returning to a russian run and base well let's go live to jerusalem now and political analyst mitchell barak welcome to the program at the time the russian defense ministry had some pretty strong words about. how much do you think israel. is going to be able to move forward on this in military terms. well i think they'll be able to move forward a course the israel defense minister and the israel prime ministers both spoke with their counterparts today and expressed the deep sense of. condolence to the russian people on this loss and israel is a place with over a million or a million and a half israelis of russian descent that were either born in russia or their parents were born in russia so israel israel in general and israelis are very connected to russia and what goes on in russia and i think there is genuine genuine regret that this happened by the hands of the syrian air force so from a military point of view i think that your correspondent summed it up very well

that the discussions were open transparent and professional and that's i think the coordination that is taken place in syria between russia and israel especially when it comes to the iranian threat which is a very serious threat for israelis at the had been significant cooperation before this precedent here isn't that between israel and russia to avoid any kind of catastrophes like this thinking about the golan heights that disputed territory between israel and syria whether it be to make sure things like this couldn't happen now is something that israel could do to reduce the chance of this happening again it's even considering things. well well again i think that israel has maintained all along that iranian presence of any kind in syria is is not. is threatening to israeli citizens and israel reserves the right to take any action to combat that or to counter that and i think this whole thing is coming out of that system is that the iranians see an opportunity in syria because of the confusion

and because of the civil war and because of the you know total mayhem there that they can come in and and stake a claim if you will not just in syria but they can stake a claim towards israel and israel will not have any of that so i think what's going to happen to move forward is more coordination between russia and israel but not israel you know backing down in any way from the iranian or the syrian threat when there is a syrian threat at hand so with that in mind then you don't see israel changing the way conducts asterix in syria or reducing them as a result of monday's incident. no i think actually meaning unfortunate and again israelis have expressed condolences to the russian people and to the russian president of course but i think that one of the positives that have come out of this incident this terrible incident is that there is more coordination and there is an understanding that both russia and israel have to coordinate better on the

professional level on the military level i mean you know even israel in general prime minister netanyahu is probably has the best relationship with president putin of any western leader i think that will continue i think he's in a very unique position prime minister netanyahu both of because of his relationship to president putin with president putin and with president trump and he is able to manage those relationships were very well and over the last decade he has really worked very hard in russia and with the russian president to establish a very strong relationship which is both representing russian israelis but also israeli interests in the region in coordination with russian interests as well i really appreciate your insight into the. political analyst mr barak thanks for your time tonight. the president of ukraine is preparing to take on the b.b.c. petro poroshenko suing the british broadcaster for libel over allegations that he

paid to meet donald trump and orchids as the story. getting that one on one meeting with the leader of the free world himself is a priority for many world leaders as it was for ukraine's president poroshenko last summer russia and ukraine remain firmly in global headlines sit in that chats handshake and photo opportunity with trump early some say before vladimir putin was crucial. as new sanctions against russia were announced and the president spoke of how productive discussions had been some officials behind the scenes may have breathed a sigh of relief mission accomplished but reports of most at the meeting that might have been arranged unconventionally according to the b.b.c. diplomatic routes would have given poroshenko little more than a photo opportunity so ukrainian officials opened a back channel through a chain of contacts including trump's lawyer michael cohen now facing numerous

federal charges to secure that tete a tete and the latter would take a handsome cut for penciling a meeting into trump's story allegedly around four hundred thousand dollars now the story citing top official sources in ukraine featured on the b.b.c. back in may this year but it seems the ukrainian president's office wasn't happy with the revelations the head of state's office is apparently suing the broadcast the for libel since low correction or apology was issued the allegation that the claimant was guilty of serious corruption is self evidently in extremely grave and serious one it has also caused him considerable distress an embarrassment since yeah the geishas strikes at the core of his personal dignity and integrity. understandably all parties involved have denied any such shady dealings ever took place the b.b.c. couldn't offer any more details on the allegations although the ukrainian side has

confirmed the high court case whatever the outcome it's sure to add to a cocktail of intrigue gray areas and speculation already surrounding trump's first in office. the much touted promote program was supposed to be the biggest women supporting mission to afghanistan but according to a report by a washington watchdog it's been a lot of failure hundreds of millions of dollars of u.s. taxpayer money was spent the goals were huge but in reality only a few dozen women were helped. out. since two thousand and one the door has been reopened for afghan women they joined the police the army and entered politics and together we can help women and girls across afghanistan develop their talents raise their voices and strengthen their communities and their country.

and i didn't know if this money was spent properly there would have been changes in women's lives but we don't know how they spend it who they gave it to me who haven't done so much for afghan women there isn't a vision held in india a man is representing afghan women this program in afghanistan is by women and we still get replaced my man why do we have the capacity. recently requested to say to support us by providing this machinery incompetent to modernize the handcuffs section their response was negative this said they were huge to treat as i have ten years experience i don't need the training i need the machinery.
