5:01 pm
cut off for the ecuadorian embassy in london which he discusses a very broad range of topics we're going to freak out a little bit because just bringing this out of the four. walls have come about as a result of life. that seems absolutely democracy. in moscow. news for a masi international. agency has voted to reinstate russia's anti-drug 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. why they basically told. there are thirty one things rosado has
5:02 pm
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 of 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 or the sports community we have reformed and he doping system we never denied the existence of anti doping violations 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
5:03 pm
that on september thirteenth the russian minister of sport sent a letter to wada 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 restart 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 has been compliant. you know they're the wrong basically because we can see by the statement that it's in the works but it could. just being about ticking boxes on the
5:04 pm
checklist must have been a difficult decision after everything everybody's been through in 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 oft wealth voted for him and 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
5:05 pm
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 its sport if you're saying that its agency which is destined which is tasked to purify that's ford 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 a good news tentatively that unfolded saw what about the school side of things internationally that expend aeration 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 country 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. open that door into the sport
5:06 pm
because one of the main conditions of the international association of athletics federations to reinstate the russian athletes was that what 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 under some of the reaction that the deputy head of russia's anti-doping agency says a lot of efforts being put into getting back into compliance with the blood of what 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 need team it's been hard work for russia sports ministry as well as wada they're provided international expertise to rebuild the capability of russia's
5:07 pm
anti-doping agency from my viewpoint it's a well earned victory and it's not a victory of just one and it is the logical result of all the hard work of those involved reinstatement a result of that i mean this is a turning point in the in this whole story and i see in good will hope the rush to get back to. championships and i've seen the day to celebrate a lot of restructuring that has been made and all the points that. request . it is what makes this decision very important it shows that there is a willingness to change seeing and i've seen this is what comes. favorite but he's controversial within the party but he's got sort of this strangely ceaseless. feel but as you see. or they're saying the favorite never wins
5:08 pm
so let's take a look at the next person on the list. that was trying to recover from russia positioning well the current home secretary now of course is sajid javid that's the post that to reason may have old 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. knew that from some of the park coming up on the roof so that's the current foreign secretary but he was formally the health
5:09 pm
secretary and he's seen as a bit of a political survival despite the fact that he presided over the junior doctors scandal here so that access to sunlight or outdoor area to exercise his health is deteriorating we're worried about permanent impact on his health as a result of the situation if he was in prison he would being required to have an hour outside every day that is the u.n. standard he's not he's had quite a number of health conditions including a shoulder which is an incredible pain he needs an m.r.i. that is not the sort of thing that you can bring into the embassy has been appealed by doctors to the british medical association appealing to them to allow him the health care that he needs and the british government continues to say 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
5:10 pm
a result of that investigation that has now been dropped he has already spent far more time in prison and 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
5:11 pm
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 president of ukraine is preparing to take on the b.b.c. concerning the british broadcast of a libel over allegations he paid to meet donald trump no organs 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 so get in that chat handshake and photo opportunity with trump early some say before vladimir putin was crucial. as new sanctions against russia were announced and the
5:12 pm
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 may 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
5:13 pm
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 israeli and russian armed forces have agreed to improve coordination following the downing of a russian aircraft off the syrian coast representatives from both sides met in moscow on thursday and the russian defense ministry previously said it held israel partially responsible for the incident. the meetings were held in good spirits and
5:14 pm
the representatives shared a professional open and transparent discussion on various issues both sides emphasized the importance of the state's interests in the continued implementation of the de confliction system. on monday evening syrian air defenses down the russian plane cutting all fifteen people on board while responding to an ass strike by israeli fighter jets it happened around thirty five kilometers off the syrian coast jerusalem based political analyst mitchell barak says the efforts by russia and israel to prevent a repeat of the tragedy already gilding result 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 in the whole is probably has
5:15 pm
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. a french court has ordered national front leader marine le pen to undergo a psychiatric test it's connected to twitter posts made three years ago which showed victims of islamic states as a paris correspondent. well those photos were published towards the end of two thousand and fifteen just weeks off to paris attacks in the november of that year
5:16 pm
and it came of criticism from a t.v. journalist who tried to say that le pen's party which was then called the national front was essentially the same thing as the terror group isis known as diana shame france she tweeted pictures along with a statement saying this is trying to distance her party away from bad group well since her immunity as an m.e.p. was lifted this year she's now facing charges of circulating violent messages that could incite terrorism or seriously harm human dignity and as a result of this ongoing investigation the court has ordered her to have psychiatric assessment to see if she can understand remarks and respond to questions she's furious as are many people on twitter. we learned that justice is ordering a psychiatric examination of marine le pen for tweets targeting isis and after that
5:17 pm
we're giving lessons on democracy to poland and hungary subject political rivals to psychiatric treatment that's more like brushing your attorney orders a psychologist for marine le pen i have no words solidarity with her and the french who love freedom judge orders a psychiatric assessment of marine le pen i thought it was fake it's incredible psychiatric zation of political opponents is an old communist practiced practiced in the u.s.s.r. until one thousand nine hundred seventy s. well during the pan is said that she will refuse point blank to go along to that court mandated psychiatric assessment and she's also suggested that they could be some political motivations for that call that assessment because let's not forget we are leading up to the european parliament in twenty nineteen where parties like the national rally are hoping to make big gains but of course if she is found guilty of all of that offense which is circulating violent messages that incite
5:18 pm
terrorism or seriously harming human dignity then she could face three years in jail up to three years in jail and a fine of seventy five thousand euros this is deemed as a potentially very serious offense here in falls into with. this is political persecution. nothing else her parody was groups really insulted they someone who said it was just a scene there was a scene kind of thing. he says to she say you know we're not terrorists used with terrorists and we're not like that these pictures have been all over the public she wasn't revealing anything i mean children go on the internet these pictures have been all over the internet she was instantly throwing at children pictures that they couldn't see in other words the whole system is charmingly prejudiced against hers i think. it's a good argument of look for her in the next elections because you know the european nations don't matter that much but freedom of expression does matter and so now
5:19 pm
it's become really a question of whether a political opponent can can exist so i mean this is nothing but political theater it's absolutely disgusting. the much touted promote programme was supposed to be the biggest women support initiative in afghanistan but according to a report by a us watchdog it's been a complete failure hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars were spent but in reality only a few dozen women were helped. i'm . 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
