one can only be. pleased. it. feels. austrian police launch an investigation into russian biathlete say the claims of doping at the twenty seventeen world championships also to come this hour the manhunt for terrorists behind she's day shooting in stroudsburg intensifies and

extends to other e.u. countries the data to support it god is great in arabic during the attack also become the south pole vaulter the dogs have come for the. u.k. series i'm a survives a no confidence vote securing her position as conservative party leader and prime minister it comes after she puts the cape parliamentary vote on her breaks it. you're watching our senior national just on four pm here in moscow the russian doping scandals are back in the headlines as austrian police are looking into claims that russian biathletes file lated anti doping rules at the twenty seventeen world championships let's get more information on the sports correspondent who's in the studio. alexy just run through then more details are back to what's been

alleged so on wednesday night austrian police went into the hotel where the russian biathlon national team is staying at the moment in austria and put forward accusations that several of the athletes for athletes to be precise and six members of the russian national biathlon team violated anti-doping regulations back in twenty seventeen during the world championship in austria back then now in austria this is a criminal offense that entails criminal punishment so that's how serious it is now we've had reactions from several of these athletes which include alexander long enough probably the best buy athlete in russia these days on shipboard let's listen . i've been accused of something i haven't done i can assure you one thousand percent everything i've been accused of is false 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 all the 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. i have to say the question raised by alexander logan of makes perfect sense he himself was in the door being harbored just a few years ago he served a two year long disqualification having tested positive for doping after that not only he boasted but that's a positive again he also has been very top form he want to bronze medal just a week ago in slovakia on the world championship win by a lawn. so it's all seems very strange to them but we've had also official reactions coming but equally from the ministry of sport which confirmed the fact that the formal accusations have been put forward against the russian by athletes and the russian foreign ministry which said that through its spokesperson has a heart of that none of the official inquiries had been made to the foreign ministry by the austrian authorities and that this whole incident may have political consequences let's listen then the money and considering deferred 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 cetacean but if there we see any political campaign into these two or three or attempt to exert psychological pressure and russian athletes our reaction will be quick. it's worth mentioning that the prosecutor general's office of austria actually said that they had informed the russian side the russian team that they will be conducting searches and bringing in the warrants but it all seems very confusing at the moment hard to say who's who's right here and with regards to russia's anti doping agency what have they said well we've had a chance to actually talk to the russian anti-doping agency and i need to remind our viewers that this latest scandal happens in the time when the russian anti-doping agency looks to be reinstated in september the world anti-doping agency made this somewhat surprising decision to many to reinstate rosado we went there today and spoke with the head oversight here's what he had to say. what is

inspection yesterday it was completed in full it was a thorough and serious all the documents were thorough loop through the results so good we can. the charts will reveal no violations will take the results seriously and will implement through the motions to fight doping in regards to the latest scandal in austria they had a miss the governor said that he was cautiously optimistic that things will be ok but he is still slightly concerned about the four situational it's easier to understand because next week what is coming here and will be obviously all over that story we'll update our viewers here when the delegation comes to moscow a sensitive time isn't it ok thanks. there with the latest thank you. for having bowed to the demands of large scale nationwide anti-government protests french president a man you macron is facing trouble on another front today because leftwing m.p.'s have tabled a motion of no confidence in his government with the vote to take place later on thursday but minutes may have given the impression that it wasn't my concern or

that i had other priorities. because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros in twenty nine teams at no extra cost to employers or the french yellow vests movement has been protesting on mass for four weeks now and what started as a rally against the now scrapped increase in the price of fuel it evolved into people airing their grievances against the government more generally students paramedics and even police during the demonstrations when micron's approval ratings hit a record low two with just one in five now backing his work down from sixty six percent after last year's election and despite the president's concessions as he bids to get back its support many people are still unhappy. there's just an awful lot of question emanuel 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 per month that our french ins are lower than social security benefits were you taxes as all others it's a do and even if you have no income you still have to pay taxes. meanwhile the yellow vest movement is spreading worldwide with people protesting for different reasons against their governments in canada for example demonstrations adorning demonstrators adorning high visibility clothing at rallies among them is causing a commotion he says the protesters want to remind officials that they work for the people and 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 a 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. now a third victim has died from their injuries following the gun attack on a christmas market in strassburg as police in front step up their search for the assailant more details about the shooter are emerging is reported to shouted god is great in arabic because he opened fire on the crowds authorities say he was a strasberg local to who'd likely been radicalized in prison. and it's been revealed also he had an extensive police record and was on the french watch list of possible extremists what's more would appear is that the twenty nine year old suspect is causing concern both within france and beyond its borders because

a large scale manhunt for the suspect has been launched and the terror alert in france has been raised to its highest level meanwhile he was reportedly known to being part of radicalized networks in stroudsburg italian government is said to be closely following events too and made fears of a copycat attack cooperating in the search for the german authorities to whom the suspect was also known having served time in prison there for robbery i mean the manhunter french prosecutor spoke of how the threat is still very real. due to all these considering who target the perpetrators way of his profile and the testimonies of those who hold him you know 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 with the threat is still very real we heard from two members of the european parliament about this story from opposite ends of the political spectrum though they do agree that europe's current anti terror policy does need

reviewing. we kept one minute of silence for the victims as we do recently. as we're doing every time and this is getting good and bad because we were doing the work of the this a lot of time this mandate so that means we have to change policies to find the sources of the terrorism and to attack the sources of the readers of the 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 book 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 much 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 a nation 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 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. about the clan we are front and we want france to live in peace. naturism a lives to fight another day is the embattled british premier after sitting off a challenge to her leadership in an i confidence vote it was triggered by conservative party rebels over what they consider her mishandling of the brakes in negotiations parliamentary party does have 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 the 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.

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 anytime soon and of course we have to keep in mind that theresa made 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 form 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. elements on backset and say chalk and reporting there with the leader of the opposition labor party jeremy corbyn tweeted his reaction to the vote saying the move was irrelevant as the pm was still failing to deliver an acceptable breaks it deal he also demanded she bring her draft deal forward for a vote in parliament something that was supposed to happen early this week before was perspiring and by the premier until the end of january and mid fifty's it would be rejected the former mayor of london ken livingstone even though the pm won the confidence vote he says there's still a great 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 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 it may be absolutely of every european leader and the leaders of

the european. community like drum 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 deal there isn't a majority to leave might just be a 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 i'm not the. indecision and undecisive it's. really forces have impose strict checkpoint rules around the palestinian city of ramallah after two people were killed in a shooting at a bus stop in the area let's get more details now then from a local reporter there cassius you very welcome thanks for coming on just tell us then what more do we know about this incident. all we. knows that

according to reports initial reports was that palestinians opened fire on israeli soldiers on a flying checkpoint near a model. and. assumes that happen all roads were closed there's really no army has entered they have entered on to be and there are currently confrontations happening between palestinian youth and israeli forces on the eastern and turns of them alone . in addition to other problems throughout the west bank. has been completely closed off by the israeli army and there are also problems on the main roads between palestinians and israeli settlers settlers have been throwing rocks at palestinian cars. israeli checkpoints all throughout the west bank first there was talk about a blockade of self but now we're getting reports that israeli army is closing off different areas of the west bank including into cut him and some parts of hebron.

what have been the reaction what's been the reaction from the authorities from the palestinian side and also the israeli side if we had much. not much has come out of the palestinian side except for saying that the israeli army has instigated by raiding that i'm alone for the past four nights since this rebel army has been looking for wanted palestinians. the ones that they were able to assassinate last night so those real army has been on the low which is the de facto capital of the palestinian authority for the past four nights conducting raids searching houses searching stores even taking camera footage from cameras throughout the area. and there was. relative no cause at all recently. israel has put the blame on the palestinian authority and at the same time the

palestinian authority is putting the blame on the israeli government the palestinian authority is complaining about posters that have been set out by israeli settlers on the roads nirupama law calling for the assassination of the palestinian president mahmoud abbas with a picture of his face on the poster in between crosshairs so both sides are blaming each other for the latest escalation in a very tense situation save in ramallah ok that was thanks for the update that was like reporter hannah cassie's thank you. now there have been numerous casualties in a high speed train crash in turkey will have more details on that plus of the story just after this break. in this economy who gets in debt deeper is the winner because everyone is going to

default simultaneously and with the biggest debt you're the winner that's it so absolutely right to get us to from twenty two to thirty to thirty five to forty trillion dollars and that's the best way to grow the economy without down. against the soviet union. was they. then this will be true to those three rights. so much has been. promised russia only. idiots can believe this way but no one once.

again now a person who had been working for has been detained in connection with our documentary my mother sold me which is about the fight to end up in prostitution in cambodia authorities accuse him of faking testimony something that was family denies he was done of takes a closer. 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 oxy 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. they got them to that house.

phone number one. but now they are laying. a lot of pork i think for. 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 they accuse me 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 plane i thought you were in the

know to move what part of me in on something coming out of my heart now but i've got to behave. i believe. and 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 circus fashion it's a dream she shares with her close friend. 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 vote. 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 combat 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 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 travel to combat deal 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 helpful 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 no 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 producer's wife says the authorities are trying to smear the filmmakers to cover their own failings to me they can body and our women want to disagree that she and the ladder. feel right and by thousand people around the world and in the can. so the gallon one of the people i forget about what that rest. i asked pavol and mrs long if the crew paid the girls for their testimony see how she 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 and he wonders if they have the chance we're trying 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. barbara says he's puzzled and frustrated he'd hoped their word could how both 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 aids investigation not the way

that they try to tell people that may investigating and set this up tick in the right to address the producer this is not a good way are the appropriation for it in the getting this is. done of r.t. . the us president donald trump has reportedly agreed to a pay. you can request to increase next year's military budget to a whopping seven hundred fifty billion dollars just last week he slammed the defense budget as crazy kind of explains 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 ninety ninety 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 but godey'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 the audit 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 us 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. 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 are able to do black. 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 the all military spending since two thousand and eight the montra 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 u.s. military plays by a different set of rules. r.t. new york. and that brings us. to get there we got a website for the story you can find that. there is a saying. there on the cheap but then proof that countries don't let . you go you are scum. if you refuse to discuss.

this country. this is what we don't understand how we have to live in such a. better sense of the month at the same time. similar. because if you feel if the minutes of on board not that god can we believe again with the fall of the computer with the plane. would come back to the three story you do have to see. to. move. to. join me every thursday on the alex song.
