of the welcome just on five pm here in moscow he watching international now top story this hour russian doping scandals are back in the headlines because police are looking into claims that russian biathlete violated antidoping rules at the twenty seventeen world championships let's get more details now from r.t. sports correspondent. alexy another sporting scandal involving russia involving doping what's the latest on this story now we know that on wednesday night the austrian police went into the hotel where the russian national biathlon team was staying in austria during the world cup actually it was the night before. some of the athletes accused were supposed to hit the track and participate in the world championships they put forward the accusations that at least four of the athletes and six members of the staff violated the anti-doping regulations back in twenty seventeen during the world championship in austria just a year ago. this is a very serious accusation because in austria it entails a criminal punishment so the athletes were pretty shocked judging by their reaction

and i believe we can listen to some of those 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 i want to ask a rhetorical question do russian athletes really value their sporting curious so little that they do the things we're accused of. 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 what i have to say on the log and one of the biggest stars of russian biathlon at the moment has a very good point in the question he raised in that instagram post now he knows what doping like he was actually on the disqualification up until twenty sixteen and after that he has never tested positive for doping again he actually reinforced his words in that post on instagram with a printout of all the doping tests he has taken since then in twenty sixteen

seventeen including that championship in austria and although those tests were negative in terms of doping we've had a reaction also coming from the foreign ministry of russia which said it was not notified of any kind of you know. investigative actions by the austrian police and here is what the spokesperson of the foreign ministry had to say. then the money and considering the fact that we don't have all the information we can't say with certainty what is happening it's too early to talk about the political character of the cetacean but if they receive any political company into the story or attempt to exert psychological pressure on russian athletes our reaction will be quick now the russian sports ministry confirmed to us that they have received a formal accusation from the arsenal of storage is on the matter but it gets a little confusing because the austrian side on their matter they say that they have notified the russian authorities before bringing in the official accusations into the hotel of the of the national team on wednesday night with regard to

russia's anti doping agency what are they said well we you know seeing this story happening in the times when the russian anti-doping agency looks to be reinstated by water the world anti-doping agency that decision in september caused a lot of surprise among many nonetheless i actually had a chance to go to the russian anti-doping agency this morning and spoke exclusively to the head of russian and i'd open agency i believe we can listen to that. inspection yesterday it was completed and through it was a thorough and serious all the documents were thorough loop through the results so good we confident the charts will reveal no violations we will take the results seriously and implement further measures to fight do. so in regards to the latest scandal in austria they had. said that he was cautiously optimistic yet still had some concerns about the story that needs to be investigated needs to be looked at but next week water is here in moscow he has every reason to be concerned it's

a big meeting when they will enter the laboratory with urine samples which is the key condition for result as reinstatement and obviously will be all over that story on tuesday next week and we'll update our viewers with that yet still a lot more to come ok thanks alexy that will actually be forced thank you. having bowed to the demands of large scale nationwide anti-government protests the french president of the new macron is facing trouble on another front because leftwing m.p.'s have tabled a motion of no confidence in his government with the vote to take place later on thursday. and it is i may have given the impression that it wasn't my concern that i had other priorities to live it was because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros and twenty nineteen at no extra cost to employers or the french l.f.'s 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 did evolve into

people airing their grievances against the government more generally students paramedics and even the police have joined in the demonstrations micron's approval rating meanwhile it is a record low with just one in five 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 his support many are 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 euros for a month that our french ins are lower than social security from its rebate taxes as all others it's a is do and even if you have no income you still have to pay taxes. meanwhile the yellow vest movement is spreading around the world with people protesting for

different reasons against their governments in canada for example demonstrates is a dawning high visibility clothing that rallies there among them is kareena kimo she says that the protesters want to remind officials they do 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 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. or the french

government is now asking citizens to stop the protests good enough is enough. likely that's it explain the live express their anger over this is being heard we ask you to be reasonable and not to attend any protests. and french media are also suggesting that all anti-government rallies should stop in the wake of wednesday's gun attack in strasburg a third victim has now died from injuries following the assault on a christmas market as police step up their search for the assailant more details about the shooter emerging he is reported to have shouted god is great in arabic as he opened fire on the crowds authorities to say to you he was a strasberg local who'd likely been radicalized in prison and it's been revealed to he had an extensive police record and was on the french watch list of possible extremists and it appears that the twenty nine year old suspect is causing concern both within france and also beyond its borders a large scale manhunt has been for the suspect has been launched and the terror

alert in france has been raised to its highest level it was reportedly known to have been part of radicalized networks in stroudsburg then the italian government is said to be closely following events made fears of a copycat attack and cooperating in the search for the german authorities two to whom the suspect was also known having served time in prison there for robbery amid the manhunt a french prosecutor spoke of how the threat is still very real through all these considering who target the perpetrators way of operating his profile and the testimonies of those who hold him you know a lot harder 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 what we heard from two members of the european parliament from opposite ends of the political spectrum and yet they do agree though 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 day and does get good and bad because we were doing the work of the this a lot of time this mandate. which 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 war should we do this we have to really degrade their virtual lives due to the suburbs of paris and brussels 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 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 a nation of people has bought allowed 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. about the clan we are front and we want france to live in peace. actually forces have impose strict checkpoint rules around the palestinian city of ramallah that after two soldiers were killed and another injured in a shooting at a bus stop in the area a reporter hanukah says has more according to reports initial reports was that palestinians opened fire on israeli soldiers. a flying checkpoint near a model of b.

into a soon as that happened all roads were closed there's really no army has entered the monologue which is the defacto capital of the palestinian authority and there are currently confrontations happening between palestinian youth and israeli forces normalize been completely closed off by the israeli army and there are also problems on the main road between palestinians and israeli settlers settlers have been throwing rocks at the palestinian cars so those real army has been home alone for the past four nights. conducting raids searching houses searching stores even taking camera footage from cameras throughout the area 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 you'll see international going to take a quick break we'll have money sitting. you

know world of big part of. law and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. in this economy who gets in debt is the winner because everyone's going to default simultaneously and with the biggest debt you're the winner that said so absolutely right to get from twenty two to thirty to thirty five to forty trillion dollars in

debt that's the best way to grow the economy without down. welcome back now off to google see testified about the company's alleged control of information the issue of speech regulation has popped up all media platforms and one democrat has found himself from broiled and what could be an even bigger scandal by simply commenting on it and the details his. if you're perhaps looking for new ways to put your foot in your mouth democratic congressman ted lew is the guru for you especially after his recent statement to c.n.n. regarding free speech i would love to be able to regulate the content of speech the

first amendment prevents me from doing so conservatives immediately slammed lou in the media and on twitter they met his statement with skepticism with some of them accusing him of harboring secret tyrannical desires but according to him his statement was actually made in defense of the first amendment i would love to regulate your speech but thank goodness the first amendment prevents me botha's and republicans from doing so get it i'm defending the first amendment perhaps the republicans just wanted an opportunity to grab their pitchforks but lose timing made everything worse came after google c.e.o. son dar pinchas testimony before congress amidst accusations that the company is censoring conservative voices and the accusations themselves they came along with bright parts leak of e-mails from google employees e-mails that allegedly outlined an entire conspiracy to censor the right wing news outlet for hate speech and you

want to hold the news and look through broad don't come from hate speech the e-mail said breitbart was quote on their radar and that google had a moral argument according to pinch i though google employees had no means of manipulating search results it's not possible for an individual employee groups of him demanding plate or so it's just those you know we have a robust framework including many steps in the process whether or not there are actually procedural problems that google the company embodies a much bigger problem one highlighted by a protester who came to the testimony in the monopoly man's clothes but lou didn't seem to think a monopoly on him for. mation was the problem he'd rather pin the blame on people who don't do positive things if you want passive search results do positive things if you don't why negative search results don't do no good things and do some my colleagues across the aisle with you getting bad press articles and bad search

results don't blame google or facebook or twitter consider blaming yourself so is looking ten used to take criticism from the media and twitter it begs the question who's to blame for that lou google you are. now in an effort to put a trade deal with china first donald trump hinted he may intervene in the controversial arrest in canada of a boss of huawei the chinese tech giant if i think it's good for the country if i think it's good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal ever made which is a very important thing what's good for national security i would certainly intervene if i thought it was necessary or chief financial officer and the daughter of the companies found among one joe was arrested earlier this month in canada she is accused of violating american sanctions on iran this one joe was bailed by a canadian court this tuesday but still faces extradition to the u.s.

and if that happens she could potentially receive a hefty prison sentence china meanwhile has detained two canadian citizens in a move seen as retaliate one of those held appeared to be a businessman while the other is a former diplomat let's get the views now with andrew young he's an international and independent china specialist good afternoon to andrew thanks for coming on what do you make of canada's concerns here because they say that trump shouldn't politicize this extradition process. but as far as the these two. arrests the canadians the concern that background suggests that they could be working for the international crisis group now the international crisis group of course works on very sensitive intelligence and they could their work well in pinch on china's national security so this their arrest may or may not be connected

with the walk way case but of course the timing is raises a lot of suspicions now as far as the trons remarks are concerned and he said that well if this walkway. lady. case helps united states secure better deal with china and of course if the case. have. further its own security interests here will intervene immediately that provoked a response from canada which of course prides itself on traditionally independence and the response was saying well you've got to be careful i mean caliper after all it's all about on a republic it's got a separate independent judiciary and we should allow the judicial process is the of course so i think that there are. countries are all strange but as far as these two canadians concerned. it is not one hundred percent certainty that it is.

the rest are in response to trunk the president trumps. rhetoric on the trade deal. but they said the timing this raises all the suspicions do you think china would welcome intervention by trump i will not. well naturally not think a sponsor shawn is concerned the first thing is that. it's better for the lady to be tried in canada after all canada less confrontational to be china then if the lady is extradited to the united states an offer on the us lol. it would be. the potential sentence with much heavier and of course the united states is that a miss of a three hundred sixty degree confrontation with china so i think that that's the main main thing but i think that the. beijing is prepared for the worse and this is

taking their case in this traumatic. and so looking in the long term what do you think are the hopes them for us china trade do you do you think both countries might be able to put this episode to one side and look at that separately or inevitably other two now intertwined. well as i said before it's not just trade. geopolitical rivalry between an existing superpower and its perceived challenger. and it is not the challenge it's not just on trade or you can economy but also on the military and on international influence. after all the world order since the second world war has been underpinned by the state's. dominance and as they see this dominance is now under threat of p.b.s. they when china was led into them tio china was producing basically t.

shirts and nike shoes which did not threaten americans commercial interests which of course. working on a lot of we should intelligence. to gain dollars in these fields so they're actually in the united states extremely anxious and what like. three hundred sixty degrees so that the the trade war must be seen in this context ok andrew really good to get your insight we'll leave it there for now that was underdone international and independent china specialists thank you. the two former executives for car maker ford's argentina wing have been found guilty of human rights violations during the country's period of dictatorship although it's not the first time the motor giant has been linked to a troubled past. well. that's good.

if. the. course the international the company the saving programs continue to. cut. look. at those are saying. a few there on the cheap bus and then we went through all the countries from let's idea the right to scold us

company he said if we give them everything slipped into. this country because this is what we don't understand how we are in such contracts . to the ones at the same time. noticing fundamental. similar. because. of on board not that i got. to with the phone about the computer with the plane. would come back to the three story you have to see. at least in the best the. if you move the. boom boom. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy

. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. tom.

on welcome to the world apart from a rebuilt inside an enigma to a gas station masquerading as a country in the west an understanding of russia according to the russians themselves has long been the border of understanding. the current crisis in relations between russia and the west be put on these knowledge gap or is it perhaps triggered by the two sides knowing each other all too well to discuss that i'm now joined by huntsville how the same folks in a region journalist and a veteran foreign correspondent in moscow has a sense of it's pleasure talking to you thank you very much for receiving us in your house. now you've been stationed to moscow for almost twenty years you had four stints as a foreign correspondent there the first one beginning in one thousand eight hundred the last one and ending in two thousand and fourteen i'm sure a lot of things changed during that time but what are some of the notable things that stayed the same. well i meant the russia that was

actually a fairly big suggest asian in this country however. before i became a journalist i took a couple into a ph d. in soviet history and let me remind you norway is the neighbor state to russia we are only in. the first house without ever being at war with norway the russians such are quite popular in norway among the lay people seriously that is a surprising thing to hear i say especially knowing that there are so many military exercises right off your butt you know with the russians close to us during the second world war they liberate the north east of mark. north most county. in the someone next there we are celebrating seventy five years of liberation among those who advocate the necessity to invite blood they may have

put in because the owner of rights bravery belongs to russia it cost you two thousand soldiers life and we cannot make a symbolic act like thoughts or contemporary. you mentioned the russian or have quite an extensive history but as somebody who's spent a lot of time both in to the soviet union and to russia i want to get your perspective on how different these two geopolitical how similar these two geopolitical and it is are because i interview a lot of people in the west and they relate russian the soviet they think of russian the soviet union as one of the same and i think tosses it as russians that is that this is a totally different periods absolutely i must confess that domestic policies in russia or the soviet union always fascinated me more than the foreign policy however.
