was. russian sports world is reeling after the country was banned for 4 years from a major international tournament just. look at the show sources around the world how could this punish the whole country all athletes no matter whether they dumped or not they should just punish those who were guilty. after 6 hours of talks in paris the leaders of russia ukraine france and germany agree to implement a full steam spy in eastern ukraine by the end of the year. and the feminists version of the classic tell snow white is released with a twist in the plot we debate the trend of updating classic characters to make them more diverse and inclusive. this is political correctness of god i say out for little girls everywhere prepare some of the young lady for reality so that

we don't push them into a pole hard world where they have to fend for themselves and there is no one there to save them on a white. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r t international with me thank you erin we begin with the latest from the czech republic where 6 people have been killed in a shooting at a hospital that's according to the country's health ministry now the shooter a male suspect remains at large security forces have deployed a helicopter and special units to locate him and the hospital has been evacuated we're going to be bringing you more on this developing situation as soon as we get it stay with us for that. now it's a moment of anger and frustration for russian sports the last after the country's flag was banned for 4 years from all major world tournament's the decision was made

by the world anti-doping agency or wada vladimir putin has expressed his support for russian athletes. because the. punishment must not be collected. have nothing to do with certain violations of their own the complaints against the russian olympic committee if there are no complaints the country should compete under its national government has stated that the limo charter it was his decision contradicts the limited charter and we have grounds to appeal to cas now what is there is moscow is being punished for tampering with a database of drug test results clean athletes will be able to compete under a neutral flag but russian officials are now prohibited from attending major sporting events while the country won't be allowed to hosts any tournament now list of events that russia's been excluded from is extensive it includes the olympic and paralympic games in tokyo that's in 2021 football's fifa world cup in qatar that's

2 years after that russia was the last host of that event and it's players will now have to go to as neutrals if they qualify now russia through may yulia fema for was among those athletes who have to prove they're clean she failed a drug test in 2013 and was suspended for 16 months before the rio olympics that she received another suspension for dhoni amused but took the matter to the sport's highest court and won she was reinstated and went on to win 2 silver medals here's what she thinks about the war decision. the decides so strong all so how could they punish the whole country all athletes no matter whether they deserve it or not they should just punish those who were guilty whether they are for solder or athletes who were involved in something but punishing the whole country all young athletes just because someone did something wrong athletes shouldn't be deprived of the opportunity to represent their own country i believe it shows that politics has come into sport because they do allow

clean athletes to compete under the neutral flag but they don't want to see the russian flag there or anyone representing our country. so many hours as it is if you were in the book i have already hired a lawyer however funny that's my sound in ordinary life if you break a rule once it doesn't matter if it's a drive in the fans were fired you will not be punished twice for that i hope it will work now but i can't be sure about that but it could be worse than it was before rio i was reinstated for the olympics almost on the very day the games began and i was sick for half a year now and not react in the same way even if i'm not allowed to compete i'm almost a grandma for the world of sport then that's my fate and what can i do i just want to advise other athletes not to worry and to hire lawyers don't expect anyone to help you help yourself. water has given the russian anti doping agency $21.00 days to decide if they want to pursue that course if it helps to do so the case will be

taken to the court of arbitration for sport and that's the yaroslavsky now breaks down the water ruling for us. imagine a person that robs a bank steals let's say a $1000000.00 gets caught gets prison time gets out like a near your early for good behavior but then the police tells him you know we're not sure you actually stole 1000000 maybe your store more so we're going to push imprison back again all of that is basically the logic which the world anti-doping agency applied to the whole nation of russia in their decision on monday to ban the country from major sports competitions in the world saying that the russian athletes can compete individually but they have to again prove that they have not used any kind of doping by. the position of the russian olympic committee stays the same the sanctions are inadequate not logical and too severe we would do our best for the russian olympic team to participate in the upcoming games in japan under

the colors of the russian trickle or due to the terms of the olympic charter. whether someone committed a crime fair enough he or she should be punished for that but it is quite unclear how exactly stripping a nation of its flag in a major sports competitions across the planet can actually solve 'd the problem of fighting against doping you're not. proven guilty and i'm in and you don't do to your guilty until you can prove you're innocent a complete reversal of justice system but it's always been that way you've got to think about what's on the world anti-doping agency has jurisdiction it doesn't act yours dictionary to the russian authorities become sanction russian politicians rule it can do essentially reset it and take actions relative to schools so it's come up with this international standard to code compliance where signatories which is used to sanction russia this time round. on top of

everything it seems that waters decision from monday was made in such a haste that they have no clue how to actually navigate in that decision the biggest example of that is probably the situation with you way for and fee for tournament where were you where you quite expect to. be sanctions will not affect in any way russian part of the upcoming your. first of all it's a continental tournament not of world qualification for or for could part when you 2. is again within the competence so you have a should it make it to the 2022 world cup in qatar it may be stripped of its flag of its anthem and it may be participating as a neutral country and if you're not yet confused enough they already said directly that should russia appeal to cas the court for arbitration of sports and this process takes longer than the official preparation for next summer's olympics

russia will go to next summer's olympics in tokyo as a full fledged nation but then if the ban is implemented late it might miss out on the 2024 summer elim big games in paris so this is all surrounded by a lot of confusion and at the same time russia says that it's not planning to give up the sports minister of the country by vocal of course insists that all the information for the reinstatement has been provided to the world anti-doping agency . experts who provided convincing on says unfortunately they haven't heard us responded has time to appeal initially when we handed over the database we said let's investigate the database together so that we can make a full decision we wanted to have a kind of mechanism if we don't want to objective decision let's do it like this was saddam has all the necessary opportunities he could have taken a different approach from whichever side you look at it monday's decision by water looks like a vocal and very harsh indictment of the russian sports it might. shock waves and

reverberations in the country sport for many years to come but it might actually be the beginning of a new struggle of a new battle the legal one when russia takes its case to the court of arbitration for sports in switzerland and we are expecting this to be made quite quickly before the end of this yeah this is a punitive action against the law including begin to shoot once. more in just a few occasions garage if it's not it's particular with there's no evidence of this against them this may be raising a human rights issue whether. they're going to raise this before the court of protection order i'm not entirely certain we have to accept but there is a political level in the involved. i think there are actually applying every ambiguous moral and motive corsetti. there once was in terms of collateral damage so are the russian the innocent russian operates and expect with great anticipation

to see what the i.o.c. its response which will point in that's what it's doing it's like saying i'm going to come into the state because somebody from europe and i will decide who comes and goes out. he says it's for eastern ukraine are showing signs of progress with both moscow and kiev finding common ground on a number of issues related to russia ukraine france and germany held 6 hours of talks in paris and that result in the conflicts is broke out back in 2014 with eastern regions seeking independence from kiev president vladimir putin and his ukrainian counterpart vladimir selenski both describe the meeting as positive. yes to. use there are thawing our relations i think yes of course we have discussed a broad range of issues and made progress on many of them and it's all of that gives grounds to believe that the process is moving in the right directions with the issue of to which shook i said something. with regards to our peace efforts we have met and i think it's

a great staff who works in that she said meaning was long and difficult for us what the mood of the movie. was telling him to shift station in a written statement both leaders agreed to implement a complete ceasefire by the end of this year and a complete overhaul prisoner swap as well they also committed to withdrawing troops from sets in conflict zones before april next year and to ensuring that these odd the mind any of the trunk of reports. so has there been a breakthrough in paris or not well the new president of ukraine and president vladimir putin of russia should cants for the 1st time they spoke one on one to each other for the 1st time and spent an entire day and the residence of french president emmanuel back crawdad with 2 of europe's key peace brokers the leader of france and the leader of germany and we do have to remember that this is something that hadn't happened for 3 years well in some cases after such tough

difficult talks the sides can't even agree on a joint statement after a day of negotiations well this time they did provide a list of common conclusions and one section from that document is very important because it paves the way for a potentially a complete cease fire along the front line and east ukraine and also an overwhelming prisoner exchange between the 2 sides which is supposed to happen before new year's eve during the press conference. selenski was. absolutely frank that he was delighted that this was made possible is now you can do a lot to just to be honest i don't know how to control the situation 20 times in nearly 6 years decides to try to reach a cease fire and 20 times the cease fire has been violated here in paris we have treated the issues very seriously now that it's being dealt with at

a high level i think it's going to be solved by the end of the year. and i can tell you that russia has so to say prioritized the following elements of the minsk agreements that is the need for key of to grant special political status to the breakaway republics of low gods and donetsk and that has to be somehow reflected in the constitution and also the demand that needs to hold free and democratic elections and this republic this is something that kiev it seems hasn't been keen to do you know at all however for of the government in kiev the element that is absolutely essential is the one that is supposed to lead to the full handover of the control of the border between russia and the breakaway republics of lugansk and that he had skipped a lot of our approaches and did remind everyone that when it comes to the minsk accord the control over the border does come after the political section by. the

music use of launching read the minsk accords they say ukraine will begin to establish control over the russia don't bust border the day after elections are held in the region that is what the documents see why undermine the agreements and rewrite their contents if we alter one article then the others are likely to be altered as well and will ultimately lose everything. i do have to say that there have been concerns that the government of the legs won't be able to fulfill their part of the agreement at all in the near future because of the pressure that's been mounting on him domestic only the anti russian pro-war lobby is still very strong and any baby steps that selenski could potentially make towards russia could lead to some serious political damage for him at a whole common conclusions being made by the normandy quartet to say that the

russian and ukrainian sides will remain interested. in trying to find ways to somehow reach a compromise when it comes to these most difficult elements of the minsk agreement that i mentioned and also most importantly there will be another summit of the normandy quartet in 4 months so the contacts on the most high profile level between berlin paris kiev and moscow will continue. and for reaction analysis and updates on this story had told website r.t. dr called. what else can russia's top diplomat has touched down in washington d.c. anyway is expected to hold talks with president trump off the break we look at what topics are likely to dominate then me to stay with us for that is. the world is driven by shaped by one person.

who dares thinks. we dare to ask. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be rich. but you're going to be the person this is what them before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of which. there should be more.

it is r.t. international welcome back now right in germany has penned a feminist version of the classic tell snow white is the adaptation has a surprise twist. tales give you the chance to teach kids about important values and i think this is simply not addressed. to such an important concept really want more children to grow.

it's not the 1st time a classic tells been given a modern makos a new version of aladdin released this year princess jasmine has high aspirations to become sultan in the original she just wanted to find her soulmate. and in a remake of the 989 classic little mermaid a black actress plays the lead role and cause a backlash some criticized attempt to alter traditional characters but others were enthusiastic saying it was a win for diversity we discussed the trend with karen took a t.v. and radio host and reese everson a women's rights advocate. this is political correctness god mad i am sad for

little girls everywhere that it's no longer ok to be a housewife and a princess you know on the one hand we want to tell little girls that you can be anything you want to be and less it means being in a traditional relationship maybe being a housewife wanting to be a princess that it's not ok you know i'm all for equal rights and i'm all for feminism but this is just wrong there's no reason that we should take away fantasy and fairy tales and this story does just that this german father has rewrote this thing in a way where it just slaps reality in the face of children absolutely not i think we've done young ladies a disservice for many many years by promising them this fairy tale and pushing it into their head as little girls so that when they grow up they're expecting to meet this guy who's ready to take them on as their wife and marry them and pay the bills and and be the head of the household and for

a lot of women those the statistics say that that's actually no longer reality the reality for so many women unfortunately is that we won't get to have that fanciful stay at home fairytale story it sounds good and many of us would love to have it but let's prepare some of these young ladies for reality so that we don't push them into a cold hard world where they have to fend for themselves and there is no one there to save them on a white horse i'm sure grease you would agree you know if you could find a guy on a white horse to just take you away and sweep you off your feet that would be a good fantasy doesn't mean it's going to happen but it's nice to read the story and why take that away from little girls rather than getting into this fanciful tale let's just as the elements that allow us to bring it to the future and allow our girls the chance to you know probably create a future for themselves that looks more like what they would like it to or what they're capable of having versus some. far off this new fairy tale that may never

happen you know just forcing down their throat that the only way that you can have validity is to have a career and being a housewife is no longer ok i don't know that that's necessarily the right thing here and it sounds good to allow children to live in this fantasy world but we've got to give them some truth so that they can begin to grow into skill sets in people who can actually function in the real world taking the 7 dwarfs and making them women and then having snow white travel around the world you know with the prince and are not romantically involved i mean this is just changing the entire story i do believe we need to empower women but i don't think we need to emasculate men in the process and i think we should lock the door of speed worse than they should be males. russia's foreign minister has arrived in washington for working visit is expected to meet secretary of state might pump a 0 on president donald trump the meeting hasn't been officially confirmed yet but it would come just a day after the u.s. justice department's watchdog move that the f.b.i.

is russia probe was justified of office visit also comes against the backdrop of the impeachment inquiry into triumph over what's being called ukraine gate artie's markdown looks at the backlog of pressing international issues the most go in washington hope to make progress on. it's hard to imagine a worse time for russia and the u.s. to meet but you wait a few years the way things are good and oh it will be even worse pressing issues at stake things that could no longer be delayed things that affect you will see 50 my 60 the entire world. control most important for short range ballistic weapons ever since the u.s. and russia pulled out of the i.m.f. treaty locking horns over who had violated the terms things have been escalating understand how. all full these things are with your brother of the mill nuclear

weapons both sides know where they are they can detect launches potentially intercept them with short range intermediate weapons there's no warning which makes both sides and europe protected by the i.m.f. panicky with these weapons it's better to press early rather than late i want we definitely don't want to see our continent 1000000000 back to being a battlefield or a place where. other superpowers confront themselves this belongs to a far away history. now another monumental agreement is in the law in the faso the speak the start treaty which limits how many strategic nuclear weapons a country can field and it's expiring in about a year which is why russia wants a new treaty in place that russia is ready to prolong the new start treaty as soon

as possible before the end of the year without any preconditions so far no response from washington but rumor has it trump wants a deal that would bring in china to russia wants to make a deal very much on arms. were a little so certainly really. you know. we may be related. now all talk for now this is what this meeting is about talking enough to finally resolve this. control is just one part of the problem now is waging a p.r. war against russia spy scandals hacking accusations sanctions and threats of more rudy giuliani's communications with president trump could be monitored by the russians russia may have been listening in and russians are working to so doubt russia's information warfare the escalate. would be sensible little reason and

relations gone mad. this is arguably the field where america and russia can do the most really actually make the world just a little bit better cooperate and venezuela work together in libya north korea even sort out the mess that is u.s. policy on iran you see iran is undergoing some very serious problems use largely sanctions imposed illegally the americans withdrew from iran you could say you will explain. to you and say that this was a short list of common issues from the very deadly to the highly inconvenient there are many more which is why even if the chief nothing this meeting is a good idea it keeps the avenues of dialogue open because if they aren't nice problems that they keep mounting or there's only so much

a camel's back can take. sometimes justice fails people are convicted for crimes they never committed while documentary channel has the story of a man who spent 40 years behind bars despite being innocent you can watch it in full throughout the day here on r.t. and online has the. 9 2 police emergency chief 6 a cute little kid this is peer review i'm a 28 precincts which bought yes and which critical from the 197-5772 which is new and i typically yes there's a man with a gun sitting no go to get away he's wearing a brown don't wait he's wearing a bra right he's a brown shirt guess what else that's all the description we go please they call said you're looking for a man that shots from. a tan jacket. no race they want to arrest them by because of oh my gosh if they want you there guess you
