we give them the sooner we're all. 4 years out in the cold for russian support after the country's banned from major tournaments over the latest doping scandal. broke with the sides. how could they punish the whole country all the athletes no matter what they do or not they should just punish those who were guilty for. refusing to back down protesters in france continue to make a stand against the government's plans to overhaul the pension system had a key speech by the prime minister on the issue. and a new feminist version of the classic tale snow white is released with a twist in the plot we debate the trend of updating classic characters to reflect modern values. this is political correctness god i say out for little girls

everywhere love prepare some of the young ladies for reality feel 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 or. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teach 2 in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. russian athletes have expressed both anger and frustration after the continuing fallout from the doping scandal so the country banned from all major world tournaments for the next 4 years the decision was made by the world anti-doping agency water. has given his backing to russia's athletes. because then you move the punishment must not be collective affecting people who have nothing to do with certain violations there are new complaints against the russian olympic committee if there are no complaints the country should compete and do its national flag as stated in the olympic charter it means that why this

decision contradicts the olympic charter and we have grounds to appeal to cas what took the action after it ruled moscow had tampered with a key drug test database but while clean athletes will still be able to compete they'll be forced to do so under a neutral flag russian officials however are prohibited from attending major events and the country won't be allowed to host any tournaments that the list of door slammed in russia's face now is quite extensive and includes the olympic and paralympic games in tokyo in 2020 and football's world cup in qatar 2 years after that russia was the last host of that event and its players will now have to go as neutrals if they qualify russians who are your is among those who have to prove their queen now she failed a drug test in 2013 and was suspended for 16 months before the real impact she received another suspension of don't even use but took the matter to sports highest court and won she was reinstated and went on to win 2 silver medals here's what she

thinks about the water decision. look at the shots still struggle how could they punish the whole country all the athletes no matter whether they deserved or not they should just punish those who were guilty one of they are from risotto athletes who were involved in something but punishing the hell country all our 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 on the neutral lead but they don't want to see the russian flag there or anyone representing our country. to me now as it is even though i have already hired a lawyer however funny that might 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 which we weren't 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 reacted 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. what i have given the russian anti-doping agency $21.00 days to decide if it wants to appeal it off to do so the case will be taken to the court of arbitration for sport. breaks down the water ruling for us. imagine a person that robs a bank steals lets say a $1000000.00 gets caught gets prison time gets out like a near your early for good behavior but then the police tells them you know we're not sure you actually stole millions maybe your stole more so we're going to push imprison back again well 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 russian athletes can compete individually but they have to again prove that they have not used any kind of doping. 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 can. made it 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 the problem of fighting against doping you're not from innocent until proven guilty and i'm in school you're guilty until you can prove you're innocent

a complete reversal of the normal justice system on but it's always been that way you've got to think about what's on the world anti-doping agency has jurisdiction but it doesn't at yours dictionary to the russian authorities become sanction russian politicians and all it can do is censure resettling and take actions relative to schools so it's come up with this international standard to code compliance by signatories which is used to sanction russia this time around. on top of everything it seems that what is 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 your way for anthy for tournament's well where you are where you quite expected that. these sanctions will not affect in any way russian part of of the upcoming euro. 1st of all it's

a continental tournament not of world qualification for or for compartmented to. is again within the competence of us but 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 olympic 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 of that has been provided to the world

anti-doping agency our experts who provided convincing on says unfortunately they haven't heard us resign or 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 be 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 russian sports it might send 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 cast the court of arbitration for sports in switzerland and we are expecting this to be made quite quickly before the end of this year where the decision was balanced on the basis of to prove my doubts. here because what is not clear to me

is how they did find out that there should be many people asian on the russian side who is guaranteeing that data is from the restall blower were not money plated it causes a reputational damage to the russians board because everybody is now thinking that the russian at leats or old oprah's which is of course not true and the focus is put only on russia we all know that a lot of the open cases are coming also from other nationality clits and that that means. now actually it is a little bit one sided. just behind me you can see live pictures from paris where the french people have again taken to the streets against present micron's plans to over. just behind me you can see live pictures from paris

where the french people have again taken to the streets against present micron's plans to overhaul. jacqueline hello there well as you can see we are in the thick of it because paris is approaching. jacqueline hello there well as you can see we are in the thick of it because paris is approaching. this government is set to announce their final plans for the pension reform in this country but according to various polls definitely at least more than 50 percent of the country's population support the ongoing strike in this country some polls though put this number 2 was high is 70 percent so clearly the majority

of the french people want to say no to all. that the government is confident about and we already heard from the prime minister of france that there is no turning back. if you don't make serious profound and progressive reforms to date someone else will make a much more brutal reform tomorrow i hope that we can convince a majority of french people that our reform is fair it is universal it makes the special pension plans gradually disappear and is financially balanced. now let me just explain who these people are for instance right behind me you can see the orange vests these are not exactly big yellow vests but that this is the uniform of. it's something that's called s.n.c.f. this is the french out railway company now this is one of the main driving forces of the protests because of course if railway workers go on strike this is something

that's felt throughout the country i can tell you that at one point during the strike they say almost 85 percent of the workers decided to stay home and put the trade system to all hold right now in paris most of the metro lines are not working so it makes it very difficult for the people here to get to work it's a real chaos for the tourists this is again this is how strong the people's message is for the government so if we look at you know what kind of thing are taking part in this strike it can be any kind of professions are man air traffic controllers judges here and of course we do see any police right here but for now i believe they have commented oh i can tell you that some trade union. please if you think you've been to or to the site as well so this is really should why you should

have been fortunate though i do have to say that the protests that happened on december the 5th which was done so far the most amount 7 has tried to actually lead to violence in the various parts of this country how long we live. did you. hear. from her couple of people to. be. good good good good good to put

a. group of people who want. to look at this here to come up behind. i can tell you that you see on him live. on the roof of the protest that he did it now does it do it takes about 45 minutes in the. briefs to. point people for instance. in the last day did not be able to walk up. to 100. this is something that shows how many people are taking part in the protest on tuesday and clearly with all the transport issues with schools being closed and everything else that is happening this tuesday the government will have no other choice but to do something about it because the message of these people was the question is whether

they will make some changes to the friendship before well when it comes to the reform itself i can tell you that emanuel back crowd wants to make the way the pension songs work universal for everyone will go to almost i had some people look at also say that. the load i'm straight from don't you know her to be put to me here and really bothers him that underwrites retire at the age of 16. they will have to lose. quite a lot of money when it comes to their pensions so they will have to delay that even though officially. this very year was the raise. perhaps they want something else to be decided. are saying across those protests

for us in paris think. russia's foreign minister has arrived in washington d.c. for a working visit sergey lavrov is expected to meet secretary of state my pump ale and possibly president trump that meeting hasn't been officially confirmed yet but it would come just a day after the u.s. justice department's watchdog the f.b.i. has russia probe was justified or bribes a visit offer comes against the backdrop of the impeachment inquiry into trouble over what's being called ukraine get one galaxy a look at the backlog of pressing international issues that moscow and washington hope to make progress on. it's hard to imagine a worse time for russia and the u.s. to meet but if you wait a few years the way things are good and oh it will be even worse these are pressing issues at stake things that can no longer be delayed things that affect your safety my safety the entire world. arms 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 awful these things are with your brother 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 proof sides and europe protected by the i.m.f. panicky with these weapons it's better to press early rather than late i want to be definitely don't want to see our continent 1000000000 back to being a battlefield or a place where. other super. followers confront themselves busy belongs to a faraway 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 but 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 the. world so certainly really. you know. we may be related to the 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 and russians are working to so doubt russia's information warfare the escalation 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 perhaps even sort out the mess that these u.s. policy on iran. that iran is undergoing some very serious problems largely u.s. sanctions the reposed absolutely illegally. the americans withdrew from iran you could see you well expect the sites to implement it 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 they achieve nothing this meeting is a good idea it keeps the avenues of dialogue open because if they aren't and these problems that they keep mounting well there's only so much a camel's back can take your global news update continues after the short break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person if there is. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

a surprise twist. tales give you the chance to teach kids about support and values and i think diversity is simply not addressed me you know this is such an important concept and i really want my children to grow valuing. it's not the 1st time a classic tales been given a modern make over and a new version of a lot in release this year princess jasmine has high aspirations to become sultan

and the original she just wanted to find her soulmate. and then they remake of the 1989 classic little mermaid a black actress plays the lead role that caused some criticize attempts to alter traditional characters but others were enthusiastic saying it was a win for diversity we put the issue up for debate. 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 very soon a great 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 to . well let's just as an element 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 her thumb far off distant fairytale 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 that being a housewife is no longer ok i don't know that that's necessarily the right thing karen 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 they're 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 let the door speed worse than they should be males. the u.s. government has dropped assault charges against journalist max blumenthal he was accused of attacking a supporter of venice wells a self-proclaimed interim president one by doe back in october police arrested blumenthal at his home on a 5 month old warrant he spent 2 days in prison with he claims no access to a lawyer the case was based on the testimony of activist neil approach a co she claims that in may blumenthal and his friend assaulted her during a protest at the venezuelan embassy the journalist says the allegations are false. the case was dropped because it was a phony case based on a false allegation no one assaulted any venezuelan women outside the embassy in fact it was the the activists in the journalist outside who were being assaulted by a right wing venezuelan opposition that was colluding with the u.s.

secret service in order to starve out group of activists inside the embassy who were defending internet. national law against the trumpet ministrations coup attempt i'm not seeking retribution i'm seeking justice and protection for other journalists and activists like me because it's really scary that someone could be hauled out of their house by a team of cops listed falsely as armed and dangerous and then jailed for 2 days and possibly put on trial because someone who doesn't like their political views decides to level of false allegation against them this could happen to anyone. blumenthal's independent media outlet the gray zone claims materials relating to the case were not kept or destroyed he suspects that's because they contain information that would have compromised the secret service. the secret service certainly had to have called an ambulance for the complainant who made this false allegation that she was injured the secret service were communicating with one

another during this incident during the food delivery they were present and what i think could be the case here is that they are concerned that their collusion with this right wing band of hooligans who were used to do what the secret service was legally forbidden from doing which was preventing food and medicine from getting into them to see that it would expose that that collusion and embarrass the secret service who were themselves operating under the watch of the state department it's just highly unusual that this would have disappeared. we've asked the police for comment we'll bring you any response. that's a global news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top hour with the latest thanks for tuning in.
