you know young. dr dhar kala to discover bill for much of the big. questions board is back in the firing line with the world anti-doping agency committee recommending a 4 year ban on major sporting events the international olympic committee has had its say to saying any punishment old folks in the countries or forty's look after the. u.k. court bans parents from protesting l.g.b. t. equality classes dismissing claims that the lessons on not age appropriate and go against some pupils religious beliefs. and 2 months after disaster people in the french city of rwanda gather to protest the handling of a huge fire that ripped through at chemical plants demanding transparency over
12:01 pm
a potential toxic brew at. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me nick and it's great to have you with us now our top story this hour the international olympic committee has stated that russia's sports movement is cleared of any any wrongdoing in the latest anti doping scandal the i.o.c. however says it will support tough sanctions on russian or forty's which have been accused of manipulating anti doping databases this comes after a world anti-doping agency committee this tuesday recommended a 4 year ban be applied to russia for all major sporting events it gave me the details earlier. so just a day after the world anti-doping agency came out with their accommodation for a 4 year ban on the russian side consisting of many elements the international
12:02 pm
olympic committee said that it would support the toughest measures against those responsible for the manipulations with the databases but they pointed out that they believe the russian athletes and also the russian national olympic committee had nothing to do with these manipulations we note that the report proves that any manipulation of the data is the sole responsibility of the russian authorities at the same time we also know the report finds that the sports movement has not been involved in any of this manipulation and that the report does not indicate any wrongdoing by the sports movement in this regard in particular the russian olympic committee or its members and that seems to be a word that's repeated manipulation manipulations what are the i.o.c. and wada talking about when they're saying manipulations they're talking about this
12:03 pm
long process of russia getting its house in order after the infamous doping scandal and allegations of state sponsored doping in order for the russian national anti-doping agency to regain its international status to get back its international recognition the russian authorities had to meet certain requirements and a very important requirement was that they were supposed to hand over the database of the moscow anti-doping laborde tree from the previous years. the handover did happen with a slight delay although initially the international authorities were happy with that but then they decided to investigate and a team of forensic experts hired by the world anti-doping agency found that this database was somehow manipulated some. the elements of the database were either raced or modified and as a result of this a group of water officials came out with this commendation for the made world
12:04 pm
anti-doping agency decision makers what they want is the toughest punishment for russia and we do remember how as a result of the doping scandal for instance during the winter olympic games and $20000.00 in south korea the russian team had to compete under a neutral flag they weren't allowed to be called team russia so now these sanctions are in place the same story will happen in tokyo during the summer olympic games but that is not it because that ban could be extended to 4 years and other 4 year sanctions could fall for instance a ban on all russian officials to be present at major sporting events possibly russia will be barred from hosting top class competitions and you know there's a lot in there being 2020 anything about that there's a long list we know that it is dark was supposed to host some of the matches of the euro 2020 and then there's also the ice hockey world championships the volleyball
12:05 pm
world championships the way for champions league final and so on and so forth so all that is now in jeopardy the reaction from the russian side has been coming in the minister of sports is saying that russia has been fulfilling all the requirements providing all the answers his side is still ready to cooperate however they will appeal any punishment that they see as unfair because i want to say that we. provided all the necessary information and questions. have been discussing the case with wada but unfortunately the position has not been heard if the russian anti doping agency would dispute the decision but we case will go to court but will the evidence will be exam. and a witness is an expert again we also heard from the russian most senior diplomat sergei lavrov who said that russia is ready to play by the rules which it has done
12:06 pm
before however they want to make sure that these rules are fair and that they're the same for everyone. there are some people who want to put russia in the position of a defendant accused of everything in this world that's why we will fight for the necessity you fear dialogue can be that only one or 2 for instance china and russia are guilty of everything and violating everything but the others follow the rules established by themselves without consulting anyone and make the governments respect these rules now i just want to go back to why the international olympic committee statement is crucial they will not be the ones will be making the final decision the i.o.c. has to accept any verdict that comes out of or the court of arbitration for sports if an appeal is filed by russia however the i.o.c. does still have
12:07 pm
a significant influence on the world anti-doping agency because of their weight the world's main big sports organization and also because of the many connections in the world of sport so the final decision will be made by waters executive board which will convene on december the 9th so we'll be waiting for what comes out of that. to the u.k. where parents have been banned from protesting against equality clauses being taught at a primary school in the city of birmingham that's after a court dismissed concerns that the lessons were inappropriate for young children and exclusion zones also have been set up around the school shoddy at woodstock has the story. well this has been an ongoing case for quite some time now concerning parents who are fundamentally in opposition to l. g.b.t. classes being taught at schools and of course those teaching them now often months
12:08 pm
of months of poor an outrage from petitions to protest today the high court has ruled a permanent ban on protests outside the school and they have suggested the school is promoting homosexuality when it is not parents misunderstood and misrepresented to it is being taught in the school so what is making these parents so angry well a majority of the parents are from the muslim community and for them these classes are a step too far not to mention of course the kids that are being taught these such lessons are of quite a young age even at times as young as 4 or 5 and as a result the parents have taken them out of the schools but it's not just this school in question that's at the forefront of the protests other schools across bernie and have also seen parents in uproar and outrage saying that the classes go against their religious beliefs they should learn about the after old age not right now because if you get your parents teach you kids need to stick with boys and boys who. think this was a flower leader with
12:09 pm
a like you because you have to obviously clearly say if you can't scream if you're going to religion and whatnot and that's what they're doing it's 99 percent muslim it's not about the movement but the jewish community the other communities the christian communities they're all have issues around the way things have been going but the no outsiders program merely promotes equality it includes discussions about diverse relationships saying it's ok to be gay and showing and displaying same sex couples showing they do exist now it's been particularly portrayed 3rd children's books where we see cartoons displaying 2 moms or 2 dads even fairy tales or love stories between love between a king falling in love with a nother king but for many parents they say that a ban on the protests is a stir. in the wrong direction for them it's against their freedom of expression to go against the program but for the teachers involved in the program they say it's in the right direction a step for inclusion and diversity but interesting is that as of next year in
12:10 pm
september these sex ed classes that also include diversity of relationships and so on they will become compulsory so of course the debate is far from over across britain there are conservative religious communities who believe that. a father or a mother missing in a family is detrimental to the child's will be. and. lifestyles encourages that it's a very fluid sexual relationship. and lifestyle and therefore conservative religious community pushing that sort of lifestyle is not acceptable and this is not teaching equality and this is more often argue it's become an ideological battle not one of equality. we respect. you
12:11 pm
would use as human beings. they deserve respect and tolerance for the 6 reality but because what the sikh can do is force that 6 reality and belief on children who come from. a background. fearing for their health and demanding transparency protesters have gathered in the french city of rwanda exactly 2 months after a fire and got a chemical factory in the area for flight records don and now he's always eagle residence in rwanda clearly worried can you tell us more. than that with the huge well indeed there's a good few dozen people maybe over a 100 even and i can see them still coming here. to central rwanda and obviously a lot of them on happy and as you've said they are demanding transparency from the local authorities and from the chemical plant lubrizol because they're saying that they are not releasing the the results of the samples that the local authorities
12:12 pm
had taken right after the fire that engulfed that plant some 2 months ago his remind all of well excuse me here's a reminder of what happened on that date exactly 2 months ago. now it is said to be to get loud here because i can see people with mouthpieces with microphones would speak as they even let me show you this they even put up this installation with a coffin over here buncha mannequins wearing gas masks and with what looks like bags of money under their arms and this is all a reference to what people people reported right after the fire because many complained about feeling nauseous because of breathing the toxic air right after
12:13 pm
the fire they reported of they reported a burning sensation in their throat so and they were oily oily spots all over the city like on this child mannequin because because some chemicals that were released in the air they will condensation on the ground and on the buildings and well frankly everywhere now the local authorities again they right after the incident they had said that there was no inherent is a danger as i was saying it is getting louder there was no nuclear danger for the health people who live here in iran but they of course all these people are not buying it and they're asking questions why exactly those samples why why on the results of those of that sampling is released. console all these people are showed up because the union is unhappy. with you and there is a tendency to want to turn the page 2 months later we believe the mobilization must
12:14 pm
continue to support our demands because clearly we do not have transparency and dialogue with the state. to result these people are not going anywhere they're demanding that lubrizol which is by the way only by the us media the the by the us billionaire warren buffet the demand that it is more transparent than even though lubrizol had promised to reimburse all those farmers was businesses suffered because of the fire because many of them found themselves in such a situation that local shops would refuse to buy their progeny is out of the fears that it might be contaminated from the leaks so i will be i will be here standing by to bring you all the latest as to how this protest fares we appreciate that if you go that far to correspondent a ghost on a reporting live from rwanda. so to come at this news hour a day of peace at the polls and it's back to protesting in hong kong that's the chinese territory the embattled leader comforter and with that we can with the election ground 0 on that after the break.
12:15 pm
you know world a big part of the market and conspiracy it's time to wake up 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 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those great.
12:16 pm
thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back to hong kong where the chinese territories and bounce what nader has acknowledged the weekend election route until government comes it secured a landslide coming down says it may have reflect reflect some happiness we will always say yes. else cause people who felt that the government has not handled competently the the legislative exercise and is tough some off and we have started a public dialogue with the community but unfortunately with the unstable and
12:17 pm
vironment and a chaotic situation i could not do more of that sort of engagement i hope that the environment will allow me to do it now following sunday's record turnout opposition candidates swept up 90 percent of district cow. i think the winner is largely symbolic because councils deal mostly with local issues and have little political leverage but they do have some say in choosing hong kong's leader after a brief election lol the protests resume did on kong people urged police to go easy on the dozens of protesters who barricaded themselves in the quality nick university campus they've been there now 9 days following pitched battles with officers the weekend's vote came 6 months into a violent anti baiting protest campaign which some u.s. politicians describe as a response to far tarion pressure. for the last few years beijing is increased its interventions in hong kong and engaged in actions you could take all the rights
12:18 pm
. and liberties. of its people we can see trying to trampling the most basic human rights of its own citizens however in bolivia similar violent unrest in the tough government response has been described by the us as a democratic transition and despite the self-appointed right wing leaders having been accused of sustained abuses against protesters saskia taylor breaks down washington's approach to both hong kong and bolivia. sticks stones on the road can bones amidst the increasing violence hong kong took the weekend off to head to the polls and the results were overwhelming a landslide victory for those who have made it their mission to wrest themselves from beijing's grip a victory apparently not just for the city but for the whole walled those desperate since china have finally been put in their place communist china should take a close look and reconsider their current posture or to anime in human rights
12:19 pm
belong to hong kong the monumental defeat of bric communist china lawmakers sends a powerful message to beijing keep your 30 terran regime on the mainland so they say beijing needs to keep it all for terry and tendencies out of hong kong others the same tendencies that saw an armed policeman industriously tidying up rubbish after another night of flames and fury over the ones that saw almost 3000000 people free me cost the votes and what was a rack court turnout of over 71 percent or maybe those that led both the chinese and hong kong authorities to gracefully accept defeat the government will listen to the opinions of members of the public come billy and seriously reflect and of irish of no shoes no matter what happens is a part of china. which leaves previous accusations of beijing's disregard for its people's freedom the chinese government should respect their right to speak out
12:20 pm
somewhat knol unfortunate but when you've got a beer in your bonnet about a rising power that set to eclipse you both economically and technologically perhaps it doesn't really matter the world is how when we get home is the. worst critic will the united states to smear this commitment china and the reason is we try to. fix the. success will go from the band that hold the corporate world to whatever each other those are diverse you continue intimidate china beat all the economic growth and dismiss the knowledge the sanctions a great war or they don't really do so china sea or hong kong situation over 19000 kilometers away bolivia has been restless too and there's also been some significant shuffling of power.
12:21 pm
was. offering himself up as political sacrifice in a bid to calm the protests the democratically elected president evo morales stepped down and fled past rising from obscurity to fill the void came to me and i knew as a 52 year old lawyer and senator whose name didn't really rang any bells even and bolivia why would it they didn't vote for her in fact no one voted for her she came to power because the street people who constitutionally have the right to take the reigns that is the president the vice president and the head of the senate one forced to move on out and what many are describing as
12:22 pm
a coup but apparently to some that's just mere detail we call on all bolivians to support the bolivian transitional government as a god's the democratic transition through electoral reforms and to new free and fair elections as soon as possible and as the west praises bolivia for throwing off its socialist chuckles and turning its face towards the democratic sun let's see how that liberty is shaping up.
12:23 pm
it seems that when the shoe fits all thora tarion as a man democracy can actually be used interchangeably and there is a totally different situation between bolivia and hong kong we don't see in hong kong mainly the rioters are attacking police during the public property and they are being supported by their us in bolivia they are dying for i think it dying for democracy they are being smeared the situation is big on that reported and actually. their him so-called government. is hailed as a government which is trying to reach peaceful solution. between the 2 sides. to the south eastern european country of albania now where rescue teams are continuing to work on covering victims from the whilst a weight of quake hit the country in decades as you can see from these live
12:24 pm
