just in time for the program here on the international news team here rounding up this hour's top story. russian doping scandals back austrian police have launched an investigation into russia so over alleged violations of anti doping rules of the twenty seventeen world championships. the reports from the headquarters of russia's anti doping agency now we know that the russian sports minister officially confirmed the formal accusations towards the russian biathlon team from the. about potentially violating anti-doping rules back in twenty seventeen during the world cup in austria now this comes after on wednesday night the austrian police put forward official accusations to at least ten members of the team that includes probably the best buy athlete in russia right now and on supporting several others

as well as staff members coaches doctors and several other members of the team now alex on the log enough went on instagram and here is what he had to say about the accusations. i have already come under fire for something i haven't done yesterday i along with artist was accused of being part of some scheme that involved blood transfusions and other thinks i wasn't told what exactly i can assure you everything i've been accused of is falls look at a false appointed to the fact that it would be absolutely mad for russian athletes to do any kind of doping now after all these scandals indeed dog enough was in the doping hotbed before he served a two year qualification disqualification up until twenty sixteen but ever since then he's not only been clean and never tested positive for doping he also been on very good form winning a bronze medal just recently in one of the tools of the world cup in slovakia now

the same sentiment has been shared by another biathlon star in russia who called these accusations i quote absolute drivel which cause nothing but infuriation and of quote the russian authorities of also reacted to these latest developments we have a statement from the foreign ministry which confirmed that there has been no official inquiry coming from the austrian authorities about the matter and they spoke sparse and off the russian foreign ministry said that there may be some developments negative developments in the future now down the money and considering the fact that we don't have only information we can say with certainty what is happening it's too early to talk about the political character of the cetacean but if their research any political company into the story or attempt to exert psychological pressure on russian athletes our reaction will be quick that all this comes after a rather surprising to many decision which came back in september by the world anti-doping agency to reinstate the russian anti-doping agency and its rights there

have been talks about reinstatement of the biathlon union of russia as well as part of that process and we are now at the headquarters of the russian anti-doping agency we are promised. a comment on the situation here and we'll update our viewers as soon as we get these comments here at risk. for people have been arrested in france as police step up their hunt for the gunman behind tuesday night's terror attack near a christmas market in strasbourg two people were killed in the shooting across the border in germany police are also want to alert after it was revealed the suspected attacker has a criminal record that is our correspondent peter on. the german interior ministry has confirmed to r.t. that the main suspect the man who's being sought for choose these terror attack had been jailed here in germany for known terrorist crimes he was subsequently deported back to france following that stint in prison. it can be confirmed that mr c's

permission to remain in germany was revoked in the wake of a criminal conviction by the city of fried bank thus depriving him of the right eventually and residence in germany he was deported from germany to france well as a major operation by the police under way in france there's also a manhunt underway here in germany is well in fact four states are involved in the zala and the rhineland button vote in bergen even as far east as bavaria all involved in police looking out to see if this man has fled across the border into germany there is also roadblocks all that border stretch between france and germany near to strasburg of course strasburg itself right on the border between france and germany police checking cars there have been delays going but for a while we have heard from the prosecutors who've painted the picture well more of a picture of what happened on tuesday evening due to all the considering who target

the perpetrators way of his profile and the testimonies of those who how the human you know. and to terror police have been called into action terrorism has once again struck our country in strasburg reminding us in a dramatic fashion that the threat is still very real that this manhunt is still very much an ongoing situation what police understand what they've released to the press so far into the public is that this is a twenty nine year old man who comes from strasburg he's been named in french press and here in germany as c. they say that they're looking for him as well as his brother sami he has a criminal record it is said here in germany also in france he was on terror watch lists in france for the most important fact about him right now is that he remains at large as well as the two people killed twelve people were injured in the attack six of them critically and we understand one of the victims has been pronounced as brain dead. he has more on what. we met relatives outside at the

hospital so some people crying sitting down comforting each other just trying to get to grips of how this could happen yet again now the one family that we spoke to told us about one of the victims who was one of those killed in that attack saying to us that you know he'd gone to the christmas market with his family with his wife his three children and his wife had taken the children for a bathroom break and when they got back he had been short every lee shocking horrible story they describe as being a wonderful father and said that he would be sorely missed. a relative died in an inhumane way it's very difficult tragic when someone close to you dies he was here with his children and his wife on the street. was a nice person very nice to everyone he helped everyone who's crying

a lot this is very difficult for her and for the children because they're very small there are three of them the children were with kemal when it happened and the christmas market his wife and children went to the bathroom and he was shot the mayor of strasburg who was visiting the hospital this information about the other individual who is killed in that attack he said it was a tourist from thailand to come also for the christmas market and we understand that one of those who is lightly injured was an italian journalists there have been small memorials popping up at some of the places where. shooting the twenty nine year old troy some people. lighting candles leaving flowers and just people in complete shock and disbelief that this happened at strasburg and this happened just before christmas at the christmas market we talked to two members of the european parliament from opposite ends of the political spectrum they agree

though that europe's current policy needs some adjusting. we kept one minute of silence for the victims as we do recently. as we're doing every day and this is good is good and bad because we were doing the work of the this a lot of time this monday so that means we have to change policies to find the sources of the terrorism and to attack the sources of their readers are the terrorists we have to stop the wars in the middle east we have to really degrade their virtualize due to the suburbs of paris and brussels as drugs work and we have to do to work together with the moderate islam to the week of two to establish some long term goals and try to achieve them marial as more as i think this was expected this is proof that this is a must terrorist has committed a crime that was relatively easy to commit i believe it is time to react the terrorist who carried out this mosque yesterday was well known to the police so why

wasn't he detained in advance we discuss a heron stross book with the e.u. having opened its borders this free such relation of people has bought a loud criminals to move about freely every time we have such tragedy we get back to the topic of border control and i think we should take back control of the borders and make the criminals afraid again because now they are not scad yet ordinary people are scared of going to christmas markets with their kids scared to go outside it is not enough to light candles to cry to say like they do all the time just this week has pulled out the clan we all front and we want france to live in peace. having bowed to the demands of large scale nationwide anti-government protests the french president emanuel macron is facing trouble on another front left wing m.p.'s have tabled a motion of no confidence in his government the vote will take place later today.

and then as i may have given the impression that it wasn't my concern if you don't feel that i had other priorities. because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros and twenty nine teams at no extra cost to employers france's so-called yellow vests again are protesting on mass for four consecutive weekends and what started as a demo against a now scrapped increasing fuel prices evolved into people airing their grievances in general against that of the main government even after micron's concessions some are still unhappy. they just show us a lot closer with a minute of markram speech was addressed to hard workers only the minimum wage has nothing to do with us we're not even talking about working overtime because when you work seventy hours per week you just can't understand what that is you forgot that every other farmer earns less than three hundred sixty five years for a month that our french ins are lower than social security from we were you taxes

as all others it's ans do and even if you have no income you still have to pay taxes the yellow vest movement has spread beyond the borders of france for the protesters in canada also now donning a high visibility clothing at rallies among them is kareena come on she says the protesters want to remind officials they work for the people not the other way around. we're still in the process of establishing ourselves and organizing everything here so i think what's most important is the combined intention that we have here to create positive change we are against carbon tax because history has shown that we can't possibly tax in the nation into prosperity i think that that only serves to make economic life even more difficult for all of us families and small medium size businesses here are the struggling basically what we want to do is just be heard by our government we want to know that our government has our best

interests in mind we just want to remind our elected officials that they work for us and we don't work for them. and alex he fix has been detained in connection with our documentary my mother told me which is about the fate of girls who end up in prostitution authorities accuse him of faking testimony something his family denies . takes a closer look. these girls cannot hold back their tears as they recall their lives going from bad to worse and then to a living hell just over a month after the r.t. documentary channel revealed their ordeal the commode ian police said one of the families had later confessed that they'd made up the story for money this story but . the heart of that house. phone number one. but. a lot of.

the filmmakers suspect the family's police confession was given under duress it looks like those children were forced to do it they might have told them that they'll arrest their mothers and offer them some kind of deal of course i cannot say for sure i don't know but it was surprising for me that the girls and. their sorties now have a warrant out for one of the film's producers is now awaiting extradition and as his wife put it to me legal persecution they accusation has been on inciting discrimination monye help the crew document the nightmarish life stories of several girls who say they were forced to sell themselves to make ends meet one of them told how she was too young and naive to understand that she was being touted by her former boyfriend but on science one of the planes i thought they were in the know to move what's probably in on something coming out of my heart not by the way but

to behave. in the numbers that i believe. in some people of the day she's a teenager who often with no place to call home but dreams of running her own beauty salon so that she no longer has to resort to prostitution as her profession it's a dream she shares with a close friend. also a victim of sex trafficking forced into it by her own mother because of debts the documentary's director says there are countless stories like these around can bollea. we've spent a lot of time with these girls and their families we became a part of their everyday lives they were just living their lives and we were just observing it. antti documentary is not the only channel exposing the ugly truth about underage prostitution in cambodia the un is trying to tackle it together with the computer and government it's quite shameful that some people in cambodia are so

poor that they would consider selling their daughters to money and they're quite desperate there is a very large sex industry commercial sex industry in the country that's no that's no secret the issue of child sex and child sex prostitution this is one that has been an issue in cambodia for many years and many people believe that cambodia has made progress on this but obviously it's still it's still going on boggle says the r.t. crew travelled to combine the goal of showing both the human side of the suffering and how the police endeavoring to deal with it if the words were initially hopeful but then became distant and less corporative. our main goal was not only to shed light on the problem but also to show the other side how the government solving that we wanted to film a police special operation to find such children. a story and you didn't manage to

film them you know we couldn't do it the governor promised to help us with everything but when we went to the police station twice the human rights department was locked. artsy documentary released the film and it went viral the producers wife says the authorities are trying to smear the filmmakers to cover their own failings to me they cambodian goutman want to be skinny did she and. three feet and more right and. thousand people all around and in the can. so the gallon wonder people felt bad about what that rest. i asked pavol and mrs noam if the crew paid the goals for their testimony. yes you made any money for that did she want to be paid out of that no no no no no we didn't promise any kind of payments to these girls and they didn't ask for anything

no they didn't after we finished filming one of the families we went to buy diapers food and a crib for the baby this is the best help we could provide for you when you see the conditions in which these people live and if they have the chance we're trying to help them be a family of the girl who went to the police has said that we gave them two hundred dollars which was the money that we wanted to spend on a washing machine we just didn't have the time to buy it for so we just gave them the money instead so that it would help the laundry business. rival says he's puzzled and frustrated he'd hoped there would. be girls and the authorities not make things worse mrs long told me she wants to compete in government to fight child sex trafficking and persecuting her husband because they still have aids investigation no way that they tried to tell the people that may investigate and set this up and the producer this is not

a good way are the appropriation to get. done of r.t. still to come here on your thursday programme the u.k.'s tories are clinging onto power after a third of a conservative party will vote to keep her on as party leader of fourteen tails on that after a short break. so

president. to be. before. people. interested in the water our. thanks to. you with us today. we'll continue. the.

public interest. those of confidence. following this that we now need to get on with the job of delivering bricks it for the british people and building a better future for this country a make or break vote for the british prime minister has taken place in westminster three hundred seventeen tory m.p.'s have cast their ballots in a secret to vote and the result allows theresa may to breathe out a sigh of relief at least for the moment two hundred votes in her favor and one hundred seventeen against the british prime minister so she leaves this won't vote with a majority of eighty three she was expected to be able to win if she gains one hundred fifty nine so with the results that we have seen on ravel on wednesday two thirds of her party does in fact still support the prime minister despite all the

political turmoil that has been unraveling in the over some analysts have been saying that despite being able to keep the confidence of her own party that does not seem to be the case within the house of commons where of course. heart breaks the tears remain remain ors remain and those people are not being expected to shift their opinions any time soon and of course we have to keep in mind that theresa may has been having an extremely hard time trying to convince them to get back to the deal that she has been able to negotiate on bracks that with the european union where she has also travelled to try to resuscitate that deal following having to cancel the vote back home so where all of this is going to be headed after this vote of no confidence remains unclear for the moment it's safe to assume that theresa me is sticking around because for the next twelve months there can be no

such similar vote taking place but nobody's expecting times to be easier ahead when it comes to the next developments on. one of mays' faces critics labor party leader jeremy colvin reacted strongly to the news in a tweet he said that the vote was irrelevant and she was still failing to deliver an acceptable breck's it deal he also demanded that she bring her draft deal forward for a vote in parliament something that was supposed to happen earlier this week before it was postponed by may amid fears that it would be rejected but we spoke with a former mayor of london ken livingstone who says there may may have won the confidence vote there is still great uncertainty in westminster. she's won enough to hang on but this hasn't resolved the crisis in the tory party to remain as it will continue to undermine a deal and quite frankly i mean i know she's off to try and get

a better deal tomorrow but europe isn't going to give her a different deal they've made it absolutely clear that he every european leader and the leaders of the european ok community like john paul you'll get it absolutely clear the deal that they've spent the last two years negotiating is a take it or leave it and the problem is there isn't a majority in parliament for her deal there isn't a majority to leave and make might just weird georgie remain winning chaos and i think it makes it much more likely now that we will have a hard bret's that we will leave without a deal all there might even be a triggering of a general election where loftiness perhaps and not be here in decision and just try and decisiveness. two former executives for carmaker ford's argentino wing have been found guilty of human rights violations during the country's period of dictatorship it's not the first time the company has been
