he obtained video from wiki leaks julian assange made just before the internet was cut off at the ecuadorian embassy in london in which he discusses a very broad range. you're going to freak out a little bit because yes i bring in the aliens in this part of the cold. war but how about a revolt why. they absolutely remarkable. broadcast my director is a moscow this is our international i'm sean thomas glad to have you with us. the world anti-doping agency has voted to reinstate russia's anti-drug agency the body was suspended in two thousand and fifteen over an alleged state sponsored doping scandal earlier my colleague collin bray got more details from our sports correspondent. going back after twenty fifteen november when the allegations of
8:01 pm
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. and i don't think agency experts to hold training for the personnel change the entire staff. hold monthly orders by the world anti-doping agency no problem whatsoever the two things that remained. the compliance list were public admittance of the findings of the mclaren report and here is what the sports minister mystical 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 doping system we never denied the existence of anti doping violations we will fully contribute to for. filling the dumond's left on the russians
8:02 pm
legislation and in fact what a splendid in detail in that statement which it 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 board including that and number of individuals within the ministry of sport and its 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 read samples kept in the moscow boards already under federal investigation that hasn't happened yet but what it was very clear that reciting 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
8:03 pm
comply and. you know they're the 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 must have been a difficult decision after 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 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. mt of criticism of the
8:04 pm
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 its 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 a good news tentatively then for risotto what about the school side of things international expect 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 fewer screen sport in the country this would change nothing for those athletes who have been
8:05 pm
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 the 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 risotto will be heavily scrutinized and will be heavily checked by wada so it's definitely a long road ahead of the deputy head of russia's anti-doping agency says the organization has gone to great lengths to ensure compliance. it's a blood. it's been a lot of warrant 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 it's been hard work for russia sports ministry as well as
8:06 pm
wada they're provided international expertise to rebuild the capability of russia's anti-doping agency from my viewpoint it's a well earned a victory and it's not a victory of just one and it is the logical result of all the hard work of those involved at the reinstatement of result of that i mean this is a turning point indeed in this whole story and i see it get we all hope the russian blitz to get back to. congo championships and i've seen the she's a day to celebrate a lot of restructuring in result that has been made and all the points that. request that. i see in d.c. 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. the us has imposed new sanctions on china for buying up russian fighter jets and
8:07 pm
a surface to air missiles artie's kilmartin picks up the story force china's slapped with sanctions in response to their purchase of thirty if 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 let's take a listen to what heather nauert said explaining these new sanctions on china in response to their purchases will continue to vigorously implement countering america's adversaries through sanctions act and urge all countries to curtail relationships with russia's defense and intelligence sectors both of which our link to the line activities worldwide and. 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
8:08 pm
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 ast four hundred system part of the problem with that it is that it is not in iraq proposal with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase that's where hundreds and it would trigger katz's 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 in fact india is currently in the final stages of purchasing an f. four hundred missile system of its own and there are a number of us allies around the world that are also planning to buy as four hundred missile systems we 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 could tahrir and iraq the question must be raised
8:09 pm
why is it that shi'a 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. really to memo from within the u.k. conservative party has revealed a plot to oust the prime minister it was first published by the telegraph newspaper and it lists possible successors for theresa may or disappoint worker has more. 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 porting takes place nowadays and the list has
8:10 pm
been leaked to the press and it goes through all the potential candidates to succeed to reason may and their chances i believe we can go through some of the candidates now let's take a look at the first ones. bookies fruit after a jury could reach more 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 strangely ceaseless. heal as you saw there saying the favorite never wins so let's take a look at the next person on the list jump it once it trying to recover from referendum positioning 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
8:11 pm
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 presided 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
8:12 pm
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 governed williamson is very much treasonous favorite. but the likelihood of her having a say in who succeeds succeeds isn't seen as very big to me i have to say this all reads a bit like the burn book from the movie mean girls but the list is important because it appears to confirm that regardless of the mechanics of it and how it happens britain is leaving the e.u. in march twenty nineteen added that it appears that once this quite frankly task is over once the poison chalice of briggs it can at least be pushed a little bit to the side the party is going to want a fresh face to take it forward now downing street in the conservative party never normally comment on leaks we've approached them about it we've asked them about it
8:13 pm
downing street have said us the conservative party the conservative party have said speak to downing street about it so it doesn't look like there's much desire to talk about it and i think the list pretty much speaks for itself. it really has been released which is the last to have been produced by wiki leaks founder julian assange before his internet access was cut off by the ecuadorian embassy in london where he has been holed up since two thousand and twelve in the video and song covers a range of topics from the future of artificial intelligence to modern cyber threats. you're going to freak out a little bit because yes i'm bringing the aliens into this part of the talk or establishment or in some sense hypocritical and rely on. keeping a different interior world to exterior presentation i don't think it's really possible for when a zation is to come up with borders. that are predictable and often stable enough
8:14 pm
to eliminate conflict therefore there will be more conflict is something very unstable about technologically advanced civilization that means it doesn't go on for long as most human was have come about as a result of lies and that seems absolutely clear in democracies i'm a fan of the idea of intelligence agencies because it has the word intelligence in it to limit the notion that there's a place that powerful people can hide from or skilled people can hide from this phenomenon and that's the way to get. all those people who have an ability to make a difference to make a difference julian assad's entered the embassy building to avoid extradition to sweden where he was accused of rape and un panel later described the situation as arbitrary detention in two thousand and seventeen the rape allegations against the sonship were suspended but he still faces arrest if he leaves the embassy for
8:15 pm
breaching his bail conditions i could or cut his internet off back in march saying a songe was jeopardizing their international relations we spoke to the whistleblowers lawyer about the status of his case. we have been making a number of appeals both to the british government through the ecuadorian government and more broadly about his health situation he has been inside a building for the past six years without access to sunlight or outsource outdoor area to exercise his health is serious. or what markers are to international ukrainian president petro poroshenko is suing the b.b.c. for libel over allegations he paid me to donald trump then hawkins picks up 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
8:16 pm
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 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.
8:17 pm
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 and 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 grey areas and speculation already surrounding trump's first in office. if french court has ordered national front leader marine le pen to
8:18 pm
undergo a psychiatric test it is connected to twitter posts she made three years ago which show victims of islamic state shall dubinsky is in paris with more. 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 and it came of a 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 back 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
8:19 pm
psychiatric assessment to see if she can understand remarks and respond to questions she's firas so many people on twitter. we learned that justice is ordering a psychiatric examination of marine le pen for tweets targeting isis and after that 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 pain is said that she will refuse point blank to go along to that court mandated psychiatric assessment and she's also suggests that they could be
8:20 pm
some political motivations for that a 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 terrorism or seriously harming 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 grew surely insulted by someone who said it was just a scene there was a scene kind of thing and. it's easiest 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
8:21 pm
pictures have been all over the internet she was instantly throwing at children pictures that they couldn't have seen otherwise the whole system is charmingly prejudiced against hers i think. it's a good argument of the world for her in the next elections because you know the european nations are matter that much but freedom of expression does matter and so now 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. israeli and the russian armed forces have agreed to improve coordination following the downing of a russian military aircraft off the syrian coast representatives from both sides met in moscow on thursday russian defense ministry previously said it had held israel partially responsible for the incident the meetings were held in good spirits and the representatives shared
8:22 pm
a professional open and transparent discussion on various issues both sides emphasized the importance of the state's interests and the continued employment taishan of the de confliction system. on monday evening syrian air defenses shot down the russian plane killing all fifteen people on board while responding to an air strike by israeli fighter jets and happened around thirty five kilometers off the syrian coast based political analyst mitchell barak says the efforts by russia and israel to prevent a repeat of the tragedy are already producing results israelis have expressed condolences to the russian people and to the russian president of course but i think that one of the positives that come out of this incident this terrible incident is that there is more coordination and there is an understanding that bush 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
8:23 pm
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 where 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 or that doesn't from now be back in about thirty two minutes a little bit over that if you were smart international stay with. i think we can agree that the decision to intervene in libya was perhaps too
8:24 pm
quickly taken but we also know that the libya crisis today as we see it at least as i see it is a multifaceted crisis because it's a political crisis it's a security crisis and it's an economic crisis so i think the main problem of the post twenty eleven transition was to put complete emphasis on the political process and not sufficient thought and strategy into the military dialogue all the d.r.s. is. completely forget the economic dimension of the crisis. in twenty four to you know bloody revolution to. the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing move on to. revolution is always spontaneous. is it you know we're here i mean you know our lives look pretty with the new blues on the new split needle the former ukrainian president recalls
8:25 pm
the events of twenty four g. . eight invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. all of these innovations like the like button is a way to turn one on nearly be productive workers creating wealth for themselves into slave labor creating wealth for mark zuckerberg so this is all about male slavery and this is all about the robots who are taking all the products. but they have passed that on through labor arbitrage to the pockets of the tackling.
