fellow welcome just gone three pm here in moscow you watching r.t. international our top story this hour or stream police have accused russian biathletes of breaking anti doping rules of the twenty seventeen world championships. reports now from the headquarters of russia's anti doping agency. we have it confirmed from the russian sports minister by a local of course that the ministry did receive a formal accusation from the austrian authorities regarding a possible violation of anti-doping rules back in twenty seventeen when the biathlon world championship was held in austria and the russian biathlon national team was part of that tournament now this came after the austrian police put forward these official accusations to at least ten members of the team now this includes four athletes including. the lloyd you know one of the biggest stars of russian biathlon right now and on support in several others as well as six members of the russian national biathlon teams staff doctors and coaches and so on and so

forth now we've had also reaction coming from the biathletes and here is what they have to say i've been accused of something i haven't done i can assure you one thousand percent everything i've been accused of is full so i want to ask a rhetorical question do russian athletes really value their sporting careers so little that they do the things we're accused of only accusations against me all the rumors are nonsense total nonsense i have always been true to myself to the biathlon family and to the fans i have nothing to feel bad about question raised by alex on the log in his reaction it makes total sense because logan of himself has been in the door being hard bad he in fact had served at two year long disqualification but after that after he was done with his disqualification not only he never tested positive for doping he also has been on on top form winning a bronze medal in the world championships in slovakia and we also had reactions

coming from the russian authorities their reactions goes off bewilderment and surprise particularly coming from the russian foreign ministry spokesperson body as a lot of us said that they never received any notification from the austrian authorities about the matter and she said that all the situation may have grave political consequences not. on the money and considering the fact that we don't have all the information we can say with certainty what is happening it's too early to talk about the political character of the situation but if there were any political company into the story or attempt exert psychological pressure on russian athletes our reaction will be quick yes now this latest scandal comes amid the times when the russian anti-doping agency was reinstated by the world anti-doping agency in its right decision which came as a surprise to many non the last the work has been continuing and i spoke exclusively to the director of the russian anti-doping agency judy gatos here is what you had to say we're not sure of the course load what is inspection yesterday

was completed in full it was a thorough and serious check all the documents were thorough we look through the results are good we're confident the checks will reveal no violations we will take the results seriously and will implement further measures to fight doping. that having back out to the demands of large scale nationwide anti-government protests french president manu macron is facing trouble on another front because leftwing and pays have tabled a motion of no confidence in his government with the vote to take place later on thursday. the minister may have given the impression that it wasn't my concern that i had other priorities. because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros in twenty nineteen at no extra cost to employees of france's so-called yellow vests have been protesting on mass for four consecutive weekends it started as a demonstration against the now scrapped increase in the price of fuel but it's

evolved into people airing their grievances against the government generally but despite micron's concessions stumm some still unhappy there's just. a minute 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 branches are lower than social security from we were you taxes as all others it's a is do and even if you have no income you still have to pay taxes. on the best movement is also spread beyond the borders of france with protesters in canada or so now high visibility clothing rallies some of them is come oshie says that the protesters want to remind officials they work for the people and not the other way round 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're 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 already 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. in other news an r.t. fixer has been detained in connection with our documentary my mother sold me which is about the fate of girls who end up in prostitution authorities accused him of faking testimony something his family denies you could have done of 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 companion 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 now they are laying. 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 would be pushed like that their sorties now have a warrant out for one of the film's producers mona roth is now awaiting extradition

and as his wife put it to me legal persecution the 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 pimped out by her former boyfriend but once i'm just one of the bank i thought they were in the know to move what part of me in on something coming out of my heart not by the way but to behave. what i believed. in some time before today she's a teenager 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 a simple fashion 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 which 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. r t documentary is not the only channel exposing the ugly truth about underage prostitution in cambodia the un is trying to tackle it together with you can body in government it's quite shameful that some people in cambodia are so poor that they would consider selling their daughters to money they're quite desperate there is a very large sex industry commercial sex industry in the country that you know 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 bible says the r.t. crew travelled to combine with the goal of showing both the human side of the suffering and how the police are endeavoring to deal with it the authorities were initially hopeful but then became distant and less co-operative. our main goal was not only to shed light on the problem but also to show the other side how the government solving it we wanted to film a police special operation to find such children. and you didn't manage to film that you know we couldn't do it the government 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 galban wanted the skinny dip she and the latter sold to me. feel

more right and. thousand people around and. the gallon one of the people i thought about what that rest. i asked pavol and mrs long if the crew paid the girls 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 them because when you see the conditions in which these people live anyone if they have the chance would try to help them the 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 for we just didn't have the time to buy it for them so we just gave them the money instead so that it would help the laundry business. bible says

he's puzzled and frustrated he'd hoped their words could the 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 won't help because they still have. the investigation not that they tried to tell the people that may investigating and set this up in the right to address the producer this is not a good way are the appropriation to get this is. done of r.t. . the us president donald trump has reportedly agreed to a pentagon request to increase next year's military budget to walking seven hundred fifty billion dollars just last week though he slammed the defense budget as crazy but he's kind of open expects. the us defense budget is already enormous and it

might get bigger which some politicians find to be funny i'm pushing towards seven hundred eighty billion i just now thought of it it's a good high number last week donald trump thought this spending was crazy but now he's pushing for an even bigger figure but hey what's a few billion between the american taxpayers and the president right the pentagon budget is so big that at this point the numbers seem abstract to most americans but what is worse is that at this point we don't even know how they're spending the money between one thousand and eight and twenty fifteen there were twenty one trillion dollars worth of unaccounted spending now somehow these discrepancies were actually bigger than the overall budget itself let's make these numbers real twenty one trillion dollars that's roughly three thousand five hundred trips to mars or seven million bugatti's the world's most expensive car. now recently the pentagon tried to pass its first ever audit and it failed but the

defense department doesn't seem so worried we never thought we were going to post nor did it right everybody was betting against us that we wouldn't even do it now a journalist from the nation magazine recently tried to unreliable how so much money could be unaccounted for here's what he told us it's actually larger than all the u.s. debt in the history of the country it's a huge number if the pentagon was being honest they would tell congress each year when they submit the financial statements for the prior for the current year and prior years. accounts that what they're giving them is garbage the money that they don't spend each year gets stashed away in secret places within the pentagon and gets used without any accountability at all so this means that they're able to do black parishioners that get no. oversight that fund. could be as

large as one hundred billion dollars which i would note is larger than russia's entire. military spending and close to china's entire in your military spending since two thousand and eight the mantra in the western world has been austerity tighten our belts cut spending well those are seriously want to cut spending ought to look at the pentagon if one kept the books that way in the private sector they'd be locked up but it seems pretty clear that the us military plays by a different set of rules. archie new york. and the u.k. to reason may will continue in her role as british prime minister after surviving a no confidence vote in her leadership the vote was triggered by conservative party rebels over what they considered to be her mishandling of the brakes in negotiations parliamentary party dose of confidence. following this but 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 u.k. however 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 back the deal that she has been able to negotiate on bracks it 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. anna

say that your can of their will one of mays' fiercest critics labor party the jeremy corbyn reacted strongly to the news in a tweet he said that the vote was irrelevant as she was still failing to deliver an acceptable brix it deal he also demanded that she bring her drafty will forward for a vote in parliament that was supposed to happen early this week before it was postponed by may and made fear is that it would be rejected the former mayor of london ken livingstone says that although he has won the confidence vote there is still a great deal of uncertainty in westminster he's won enough to hang on but this hasn't resolved the crisis in the droid party three miners who continue to undermine a deal. 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 virtually every european leader and the leaders of the european. community like john paul younger they 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 deal there isn't a majority to leave and might just fear drawer to remain in chaos and i think it makes it much more likely now that we will have a heart breaks that we will leave without a deal or there might even be a triggering of a general election we're locked into perhaps and not be here indecision and just for our undecisive it's now as the search for the shooter who killed three in left dozens injured at a christmas market in strassburg intensifies concerns over safety are spreading throughout europe we'll have a look at that in more detail just after the break. you

know i work with potential school shooters for a period of twelve years and none of the students who we work with in our facility the syllabi ever went on to commit a school shooting so that gives me hope that if you catch the students early enough and provide the kind of support in mental health treatment that they need that they can come out of the crisis.

welcome back now as police in front step up their search for the gunman behind she stays terror attack near christmas market in strassburg more details about the shooter are emerging he is reported to have shouted at bar arabic for god is great is he opened fire on the crowd killing three people authorities say the strasburg local was likely radicalized in prison it's also been revealed to me that he had an extensive police record and was on the french watch list of possible extremists and it appears to me that the twenty nine year old suspect is causing concern both within and beyond french borders in france a large scale manhunt for the suspect has been launched in the terror alert in the country has been raised to its highest level he was reportedly. have been part of

radicalized networks in strasburg meanwhile the italian government is said to be closely following the events amid phase of a copycat attack cooperating in the german authorities to him the suspect was also known having served time in prison there for robberies amid the manhunt a french prosecutor spoke of how the threat is still very real with you always considering the target the perpetrators way of operating his profile and the testimonies of those who how the human bar 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 but we talked about this to two members of the european parliament from opposite ends of the political spectrum and they agree though that europe's current anti terror policy needs adjusting. we keep the one minute of silence for the victims as we do recently. as we're doing nobody

does good is good and bad because we are doing the work of though this a lot of time this mandate. which we have to change policies to fight the sources of the terrorism and to talk of the sources of the readers with us we have to stop the war should we do this we have to really degrade. you through the suburbs of paris and brussels. in a week of two to two to work together with the moderate islam to the week of two to establish some long term goals and try to achieve the meddlers moans 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 massacre 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 brought allowed.

goals 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 scared 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. we bought the clan we are france and we want france to live in peace. in other news this afternoon at least nine people have been killed and forty seven injured in turkey after a high speed train collided with a shunt or the crash occurred around six forty am local time on the anchor a corner route pictures from the scene show the extent of the damage emergency teams and police are working at the scene right now by speed train traffic from ankara has been suspended. and angry.
