yes well the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then . 60 state meets the russian foreign minister in the white house and sergey lavrov challenges the u.s. to publish its correspondence with moscow on claims of meddling in the 26th election. but this is in france take a stand against pension reforms ahead of a speech by the prime minister on the issue. democrats go all in on impeachment of the us president claims think russia collusion case was also on the road.
4:01 pm
either one where you are you watching out international choice even if i say so. in a rare visit to the united states russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov has held talks with the secretary of state but underneath the smiles and pleasantries it was clear that the 2 lot talks on several issues. reports from the outset it became clear how much room for improvement there is in the relations between russia and the united states for instance one of the cases election meddling the secretary of state might pump a way has been very adamant that any interference in america's relations is unacceptable by a foreign power to which russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov stressed that all such accusations still exist in the realm of speculation. it was for meddling or not is suggested to simply read the many reports we read it there is no proof of any collusion. also has repeatedly said that russia is ready to release full
4:02 pm
transcripts as to what was said by the russians and by the members of the trump team via a special community. cation channels that had been established back in 26. but the quoting to the russian foreign minister those attempts to make those transcripts see the light of day have so far been stopped by the trumpet ministration you know what's it been put up with to do with ration of donald trump suggested all colleagues to dispel all baseless suspicions let us publish that close journal correspondent starting from october 26th scene to november 27th saying so it would become all very clear to people unfortunately the current administration refused to do so. but we all ready to publish that correspondence and he talked about that's. not the end all suggestion is to publish i repeated for a 4th time to publish that data that would show how russia responded through the
4:03 pm
special channel which was designed for reviewing threats inside the networks now the bone of contention between russia and the united states is the i.m.f. or rather the absence of the deal now and both parties of both ministers have kind of clash this to how they see the moving forward for instance the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has again said that we could use that the countries could use the start treaty that had been signed back in 2010 but my pump a.o.l. has voiced his concerns and has made it clear what the united states don't like about that deal it can't be the case that that can be the sole focus that's agreement that was entered into many years ago when powers were very different on a relative basis around the globe. it was at a time when the weapons systems the threats were very different than they are today to the risk to strategic instability today are different it's no longer just missiles just bombers just submarines just warheads there are many other tools which can create strategic instability so we believe not only do the conversations
4:04 pm
need to be broadened to include the chinese communist party of. russian president spoke again about russia. preparedness to run now agree on its extension to alleviate the tension for the global community lost instruments of arms control between the u.s. and russia will not be destroyed the simply not inforced we're prepared to do that even today on the other hand circular has reiterated that russia has been making unilateral steps of good faith for instance the russian president had previously said that russia wasn't going to deploy any weapons that had been banned under the i.n.f. treaty in europe unless washington or its allies decide to do that 1st but it wasn't all negative there are some points where russia and the united states do see eye to eye on where they do see each other as valuable partners syria afghanistan north korea all those asked but all those political crises see russia and the united
4:05 pm
states working together and both countries it seemed did their best both ministers at least did their best to try and move that train forward as much as they could. as you state senator richard black thinks that the talks come at an inconvenient time for president trump. keep in mind that. all of this is taking place with the backdrop of the impeachment hearings and it has been one of the strategies of the administration to appear to be as tough with russia as possible and it's very unfortunate but that's just the the domestic policy ramifications of this there's only so long that you can continue talking about russian meddling and so far the only evidence that i've seen is that there were $100000.00 in facebook ads that were placed some of them for hillary clinton some of them for
4:06 pm
trump and they were placed out of russia well i'm going to tell you $100000.00 did not buy you a drop in the ocean in terms of facebook ads so. the democrats will continue to insist that the russians meddled the republicans are and can bend i don't think i don't think it's an issue that's particularly relevant to the american people. the u.s. house judiciary committee has a specific challenges against president on a trump paving the way for impeachment committee chief joe would not have made the announcement the 1st article is for abuse of power it is an impeachable offense for the president to exercise the powers of his public office to obtain improper personal benefit while ignoring or in injuring the national
4:07 pm
interest and when he was caught when the house investigated and opened an impeachment inquiry president should be engaged in an unprecedented categorical and indiscriminate defiance of the impeachment inquiry. this gives rise to the 2nd article of impeachment for obstruction of congress well the articles of impeachment have been drawn up 6 against donald trump accusing him of obstruction of justice as well as abuse of power these articles of impeachment are not expected to go very far with the senate under the control of republicans now it seems the democrats have moved full speed ahead on from their trump russia collusion allegations which was the basis of a long investigation which seems to have disproved what was widely believed now they've moved on to these allegations about ukraine that are the basis of the impeachment and articles of impeachment that were recently drawn up the investigations that cetera however as folks look back on the long trump russia
4:08 pm
collusion investigation we now have a very important report that was just released the horowitz report from the department of justice inspector general looking into the investigation of donald trump for allegations that he colluded with russia now the report it has some contradictory information and findings it does not and not seem to show that the department of justice acted inappropriately in investigating the trump campaign they said that all that was simply required in order to carry out an investigation was what they called articulable facts what is being overlooked is that there seem to have been agreed just errors by the f.b.i. when they investigated donald trump they apparently made quite a few mistakes this is the president of the united states responding to the report the report actually and especially when you look into it and the details of the report are far worse than anything i would have even imagine. what they were doing and what they would have. invited make a certain a certain move that was
4:09 pm
a very important move because it would have been even worse if that's possible and they might have been able to succeed if this was an overthrow of a government whose was an attempted overthrow now the report also reveals some information regarding john breaux. he was the cia director under obama and he was an outspoken critic of u.s. president donald trump remains an outspoken critic of him after leaving his role at the cia apparently he testified that that they did not rely on the steel report and the obama administration's intelligence community assessment that accused russia of meddling in the election did not rely on the steel report however the newly released report from the department of justice the inspector general report seems to indicate that that was not the case that what john brennan testified was not accurate this was what john brennan testified and you know if the bureau ever relied on the steel dossier is as part of any court filings occasions
4:10 pm
petitions pleadings have no awareness to the cia rely on no one. because we we didn't we it wasn't part of the corpus of intelligence information that we had it was not in any way uses a basis for the until a screen assessment that was done. it was it was not now page $179.00 of the newly released report seems to indicate pretty clearly that the intelligence agencies did rely on that steel dossier. even though that steel dossier was compiled by fusion g.p.s. the firm and even they concluded it was not a finished document regardless the intel agencies did apparently rely on that report that is what the new doc document very clearly indicates so it appears that john brennan was giving false information when he was giving his testimony so as we
4:11 pm
have this new report it doesn't seem to fully confirm what many had expected but yet it does also show some impropriety on the part of john brennan and the f.b.i. at the same time we've got the proceeding impeachment hearings and inquiry against trump we've got these articles of impeachment not expected to really go anywhere. place because the senate is solidly republican the drama on capitol hill continues . let's bring you some news just in from the united states where a police officer has been killed in a shooting incident in jersey city 2 other officers and a civilian are injured local officials have described the shooting is criminal activity with no indication of terrorism suspects of barricaded themselves inside a convenience store swat teams along with federal agents are at the scene of cordoned off the area nearby schools have been placed under lockdown. crowds have been rallying in paris against president emanuel micron's plans to
4:12 pm
overhaul the pension system more than a dozen arrests have been made in recent days the country has seen violent protests in a number of cities with more from the french capital. well as you can see we are in the thick of it the country is trying to deliver their message to the government just one day before it now says their final plans for the pension reform in france although we did hear from the country's prime minister that for them for now there is no intention to change their plans if we 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 not just for a moment let me give you a clearer picture of who these people are for instance i mean we've already been used to the yellow vests but as you can see these are orange and what it says on
4:13 pm
them is s.n.c.f. this is the french railway company which is by the way one of the main driving forces of the protests you can imagine what happens if the entire system. railroad workers what if they go on strike son like that has already happened to be saying that at one point almost 85 percent of the railway staff members white right and this really caused chaos in the country transport system. to study about iran world war i can tell you that the professions range from air traffic controllers to actually police officers and lawyers so this is just how vast it is. you know.
4:14 pm
like i said before even police union support the strike and actually in fact different opinion polls say that from 50 to 70. percent of the french population are supporting what's going on in the street in the streets of france right now but i do have to mention though that a last week protests in various cities of these countries did turn ugly and violent . i can tell you that most of the slogans that we are hearing in these protests are
4:15 pm
aimed directly against the president emanuel macron one you can see right here it says macro don't touch my retirement i can tell you that the pension reform is pretty much his brainchild and that's why so many people are angry at him specifically over but this comes soon may be. over but it does not come here through money 1st but the reforms we impart everybody's the idea for the pension reform is to introduce a universal point system which will make the pension sums universal for different layers of the society but some of them in france do fear that they will lose their privileges they want to give us a town hall food system you have everyone who will die you points
4:16 pm
but all much. you know with brings you a point never knows more now. this is just a warning for the government but it's not hard to predict what's going to happen here i mean the automatic right it is the inside story was picked it up while on. russian athletes have expressed anger and frustration over the country's exclusion from all major world tournament's for the next 4 years the decision was made by the world anti-doping agency wada water took that step after has ruled that moscow tampered with a drug test database some are clean athletes will still be able to compete they will be forced however to do so under a neutral flag russian officials are prohibited as well from attending major events while the country itself won't be allowed to host any tournament's. now the list of daws now are slammed in russia's face it is extensive including the olympic and
4:17 pm
paralympic games in tokyo in 2024 balls fifa world cup encounter are 2 years after that as well you'll probably remember was the last host of that competition its players now though will have to go is neutrals should they qualify russian swimmer mother is among the athletes who will have to prove that they are clean she failed a drug test in 2013 and was suspended for 60 months before the rio games she received another suspension for using male dhoni embarked at the matter to the sport's highest court and won she was reinstated going on to win 2 silver medals here's what she thinks about why this decision. look i got that assad's struggle 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 one of the often results are all athletes who were involved in something but punishing the whole 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
4:18 pm
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. for. so many hours as it is here 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 i'm not reacting 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. and water has given the russian antidoping and c $21.00 days in which to appeal if it does so the case will be taken to the court of
4:19 pm
arbitration for sport on his alexia's just breaks down the wilder ruling force. 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 them you know we're not sure you actually stole 1000000 maybe your stole more so we're going to push imprison back again or 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 but. 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
4:20 pm
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 know not. proven guilty in anti doping it's who you are guilty until you can prove you're innocent you complete redress 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 but it doesn't act yours dictionary to the russian authorities become sanction russian politicians roll it can do essentially resell it and take actions relative to schools so it's come up with this international standard to code compliance or signatories which is used to sanction russia this time round. on top of everything it seems that waters decision from
4:21 pm
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 wait for and feel 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 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
4:22 pm
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 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 want to objective decision let's do it like this was saddam has all the necessary opportunities they 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
4:23 pm
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 laws and 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 the proofs i have 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 russians who is guaranteeing that data is from the restall blower were not money that it causes a reputational damage to russians board because everybody is now thinking that the russian at least or although purse which is of course not true
4:24 pm
and the focus is put only on russia we all know a lot of doping cases or coming also from all the nationality clits and that means. now actually it is a little bit one sided. russian forces have entered the syrian city of rock are better known as islamic states former capital the troops delivered food aid to locals they also brought in medical personnel to help those that are living in the area comes 2 months after the sudden withdrawal of u.s. armed forces from the region contributed to the monitor new site early risk police or lack of strategies one of the reasons that led to the u.s. withdrawal. i think that now the situation in iraq is going to improve because you do have players are entering who have clearly. clear strategies they have for you know they have a clear strategy put in place the problem with the others. it's was that they had
4:25 pm
never had a clear strategy you know if there's confusion between it's it speaks about fighting our sources speaks about fighting iran and iran and isis or enemies so i would describe the u.s. policy in syria and for that matter in the why the region as being confused and when you have a confused policy that tends to make the situation not very stable in the ground or russia on the other hand has a clear sort of goals a clear sighted policy and so while that's why i think the more russia comes into the picture in places like cook and elsewhere the more that will contribute to stabilizing the situation. k.p.c. thing with an internationalist seeming to me from doing some of those stories in 30 minutes.
4:26 pm
