this was the week rush. participating in or hosting major sports following a scandal involving the. medical. see how could the plan used to treat all athletes no matter whether they jumped or not just like those very. conservative party's biggest election victory more than 30 years with the scottish national party also winning big north of the border 2 giving renewed impetus to independent school. bombers detonated a car bomb outside america. the very same place that played a surprise thanksgiving visit just 2 weeks ago.

every 7 days we cut the big news stories of the wait with. international so welcome to the weekly with me you can stay with me for next 30 minutes the biggest headline is this russia being kicked out of major international sporting events for the next 4 years punishment says the world and he took an agency from moscow tampering with a key database of test results from russian athletes. this is a russia that protects the rights of russian each. entry for me. not. me we are not complying what is important thing to these decisions. we are really sanctioning those for responsible

for this menu pollutions and leave doors open for those who hurt nothing to do is with dipping scandal in russia clean. our experts who provided convincing on says unfortunately they haven't heard us responder 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 some objective decision let's do it like this which was saddam has all the necessary opportunity they could have taken a different approach so in the week then water says 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 also will be able to host any tournament of the list of events that russians know excluded from is pretty extensive let's look at some of the highlights of what can happen now for a start the olympic and paralympic games in tokyo in 2020 can't go there football's

fee for world cup in qatar 2 years after that can't get there either russia was the last host that of course big success its players will know how to play as neutrals if they qualify what is insisting that the onus is on clean players to prove that they haven't been doped our sports correspondent. down the ruling for us. it is quite unclear how exactly stripping a nation of its flag in major sports competitions across the planet can actually solve the problem of fighting against doping you know. until you're proven guilty and i'm in it too you're guilty and he 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 round. on top of everything it seems that what his 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 wait for and see for tournament well where you are where you quite expected that. these sanctions will not affect in any way russian part of the upcoming euro are 1st of all it's a continental tournament not of world qualification for or for compartment it. is again within the competence of u.f.o. 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 of 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 2024th elim big games in paris 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 the court of arbitration for sports in switzerland and we are expecting this to be made quite quickly before the end of this year this is a punitive action against the law including begin to shoot once

a month combatants more than just a few. garage incidents nothing to 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 retaliation or i'm not entirely certain we have to accept that there is a political level and we're involved. i think there actually applying a very ambiguous moral and motive here there once was for them to look for. are the russian the innocent russian roots of expect great and it's occasion to see what the situation. point in that's what it's doing it's like saying i'm going to come into the state because somebody from you know decide who comes and goes. so the big names in russian sport can share their reactions with us on the band. but the doping scandal lasted for a few years i expected something like this after rio. to be honest it was

expected it's a pity the athletes have to suffer it's terrible it's terrible for all russian sports that's what i feel about it. it's just i don't want to make a link between sports and politics but it looks like good for those sanctions imposed by the west for the last few years. someone just wanted to punish our country but this is without reason a country is not a 3 year old child. allow us to compete under the neutral flag somehow they don't want to see the russian colors north because maybe our flag is something irritates you somewhat doesn't want to see us compete in our own flag in our own anthem. says i visit here i have already hired a lawyer and even if they don't allow me to participate while i'm already

a grandmother sports maybe this is our fate was more than a beginning you probably will somehow unite us and those below to participate and additional boost but it does the doping issue i'm sure more than 90 percent of all athletes are clean but i guess but if we are in the. fleet we support you and i'm sure you have enough patience together we would do it. in a week just came in from the u.k. to boris johnson's conservative party one that resulting majority of for dominating performance in britain is a story in general election in thursday as for the opposition labor and liberal democrat party where now both seeking a new leaders after it north of the border different story the scottish national party almost swept the board in fact returns a seat which is rigged knighted there calls for another independence referendum from the u.k. is how 1st off the respective party leaders reacted to what was a dramatic night as the results came in and sank in. proud to say that members of

our new one nation government a people's government will sit out from constituencies that have never returned a conservative m.p. for 100 years and yes they will have an overwhelming mandate from this election to get it done and we will honor that mandate by general the 31st of all not only departing in any future general election campaign i will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward the stunning election win last night for the s.n.p. renew this reinforces and strengthens the mandate we have from previous elections to offer the people of scotland a choice over their future that mandate says that it is for the scottish parliament nort a westminster government to the saide whether and when this should be

a new referendum on independence quick look at the numbers are 650 seats in the house of commons so a party needs 326 and all the majority just the conservatives took hold of 365 seats in the end while labor got $203.00 that's their lowest result since the 1930 s. says could taylor breaks it down a bit more. thursday saw the 3rd general election in just 4 years so how did we end up on this roller coaster again it was well my friends it's the usual suspect yeah you guessed it. sits to play it turns out that decision taken by those 17400000 people in june 26th exit the e.u. set off a chain reaction that's led to this moment but i'm guessing ahead of myself let's start from the beginning the british people have made a very clear decision to take a different part of my view we should aim to have

a new prime minister in place ok so now we're down one prime minister let's see how the next one fat a couple of weeks later to resume a took on the and then doable role of finding a way through the process that wilderness and she was very clear about her goal bricks it means bricks it rex it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it the original deadline was set for march 29th teen oh those early days of optimism but this is possibly the most divisive political issue the u.k. has faced in recent memory m.p.'s have never felt so important all powerful so it's unsurprising that may was thwarted at every turn by those less willing to cut ties with our european friends fed up she decided to go in and call a snap election in june 27th in we need a general election and we need one now but it was a gamble that just didn't pay off the conservatives lost the majority they'd been

counting on tide already me to also taught at this point every single. your charge of the infighting your charge of the political games and the arcane procedural rounds but disappointment in the polls was really the least of may's prop. the opposition tried to get rid of her own m.p.'s tried to get rid of her and then she said she'd get rid of herself if only they'd back deal which they didn't and it just ended up being too much from a who decided to finally hang up. i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love ok so now we're down to prime ministers who's our. introducing boris johnson former mayor of london a bit of a daft man just like his predecessor he was absolutely adamant that he'd be the one

to get it done can you make a promise today to the british public that you would not go back to brussels and ask for another delay to practice it yet and so you don't and would you. do us credit he's really gone for it he was sick of parliament blocking his ideas so dissolved that. dissolved so then he went to the e.u. and negotiated a new deal which parliament defeated and then they forced to quest and not that extension which really really really didn't want to do but to do anyway and then he just decided enough so not so wasn't she taunted the opposition party after facing off at a general election in order to quote get it done which my friends i think brings you up today. so we sent it out some experts and politicians from around the u.k.

for their views on the election results are possible consequences no go forward. now boris can go into a meeting to negotiate and the can be certain that what's agreed in that meeting will actually get through parliament the big problem that we've had so far is really a new suggestion that was made seem to run into this blocking wall in parliament. them into votes against just about everything the labor party used to say they were voting against against different solutions called this interim election then they voted against an election as well as a small force i think is the sentiment of the people of scotland that it is not based on the views of any one politician this period to the sentiment of people scotland has been moving gradually and no rapidly towards independence but at least an overwhelming view that scotland should have the right to determine its own future that is the chain subcommittee status that is the other system will force the a movable object is bought as johnson though it may well be that. bought us johnson

can put these things up in that they can hold back the floods generally speaking that sort of politics gives out eventually and i would have my money is on the other system will force as opposed to the a movable object in terms of standing the test of time and of course of the last 2 years the unionist political electoral majority was ended as a result of this election unionist political representation in the north has been reduced to a minority and not quite safe to make and the context not only of the bracks issue but also with respect to the unfolding constitutional debate and ireland north and south life in russia we kept it a big stories in the last week from our say this is one of them afghanistan seeing more violence as details emerge about the scale of the u.s. led military campaign failure there or just ahead.

you know world big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. in. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own personal there is. no

day or thinks. we dare to ask. what she weekly from the story happening right now this weekend as mass protests continue to grip india over a new citizenship and all for a 5th day shots of legend been fired at the university campus in new delhi earlier police believed to have stormed the campus with tear gas following violent scenes over the past 24 hours which saw a number of fatalities now coming up now video of the reported shooting scene that was posted online in the classrooms at the jimmy a 1000000 university. as

mentioned it comes as protests have intensified nationwide over a new law which could grant millions of migrants in india citizenship status but excluding crucially muslims in one demonstration in the northeast close to neighboring in the poll by the desk it will see burning an effigy of the country's home minister in the city's siliguri the also protesters claim the law is not only discovery but also unconstitutional as the country's opposition threatens to take the case to the supreme court hundreds adjoin hunger strike in india's northeast where troops have been deployed on the internet shut down earlier talk to the editor of a new delhi news site who told me fear and confusion is really gripping india right now is big changes taking place. what we have now is the police into the university something we did receive you which in itself is

a huge violation you do you the police don't enter university grounds the matter what the probation. leaves used an outrageous amount of force the police claim that this was in response to violence or the that cool testers are done earlier but you know there's really no one for me to know who did that violet because this is a fundamental change 7 to how india is as a country it's a constitutional change this act makes it a point. to single out muslims it's a very concerted attempt to leave islam out all that meet the disorder we should reason given for this act is is to give shelter to religious minorities so you know this bill is really playing to the ruling party so we don't know right now you know it all up in v.a. that's a big bar for you to tell you right now there is there is confusion within the government there is no clear message on what the aims of this bill are then all

arrayed in. no story happening right now this sunday for years some of the worst violence in 2 months of demonstrations been playing out in beirut couple of lebanon protesters they're out in force right now these pictures a few minutes ago but earlier but it really kicked off you moments ago just a few moments ago rubber bullets are being fired overnight of a struggle to get a handle on chaotic scenes too intense clashes between demonstrators me authorities were triggered by opposing groups of protesters confronting each other facing off rubber bullets tear gas and water kind of used to disperse the huge crowds that gathered dozens of people reportedly injured the nationwide movement against alleged high level corruption started back in october with anger also being vented against public services and economy some pretty widespread concerns there from people. as one but no to choose their we just go on a suicide by. detonated his car outside one of america's main military outposts in afghanistan the field came just 2 weeks after

a surprise thanksgiving visit by president trump to the very same place local media reported a powerful blast hitting a medical facility located in the immediate vicinity of the bases main gate the attack reportedly claimed at least one life with as many as 62 others injured initial reports suggested the suicide bomber targeted a u.s. military convoy the washington continues to deny that during president visits as mentioned to bagram base he struck a rather upbeat tone despite afghanistan continually being close to or indeed topping the world's most dangerous countries lose. with the help in the diversion everyone. has given here tonight america is winning again we are winning like we have not won in a long time and you know what we're respected like we haven't been respected in a long time america is winning again and america is respected again and respected at the highest level it is and i doubt a big lie wrong politician war monger stuff and in fact just so little get off the

so-called war on terror itself have been proved that it is the biggest lie of the century it was predicted changes so we're going off to war on innocent afghan people then the past 18 years they changed my tent tree. situation like hell for our feet well especially for men and a suicide attack. talks their life off handed off in a sense or value assets and daily basis and different cities afghanistan not only in kabul and now there is a heartbreaking reports in afghanistan that the only person in afghanistan who is satisfied of the job is the coffin seller and all sold out almost all of graveyard in a couple of salt. sober way to end this politics or that's the way some of the week's big news stories were reported to you by us r.t. international here in russia tonight for me kevin i mean thanks for watching this weekend stay with us if you can too for next programs in your part of the world

after this break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is truth what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness.

in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only catholic population in belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes a mob was striking to put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of full streets in belfast at the take more than 100 innocent civilians were unloaded as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and its occurrence which the collusion was involved in some of those cases that killers would later be named goodwin and getting i think it went to the very very top i think if the focus for all the water where politicians you thought was going

on and give the go ahead. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let's. an arms race is often very dramatic developments only and go into exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very chaotic at a time to sit down and talk. during the great depression which are old enough to remember there was most of my family were employed. there wasn't it was bed much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy

attack solo doubt engineer elections manufacture consent and other principle holds according to no on tone scale one set of rules for the rich opposite. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of narrows of wilf which rule is dedicated to increasing power for just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america.
