how could the. treat. no matter whether or not this is just. more than 30 years but the scottish national party makes an almost clean sweep north of the border raising the prospect of independence from. put on hold after a suicide bombing outside an american air base in afghanistan. with

us. right this week russia was barred from all major sporting events for the next 4 years the world anti-doping agency says the country is being punished for tampering with a key database of athletes test results. this is about against russia that protects the rights of russian each. entry for major events to. demonstrate that they are not implicated in any way he doesn't comply what is important thing to this decision. that we are really sanctioning those who are responsible for this many pollutions and leave doors open for those who had

nothing to do with dipping scandal in russia clean. being able to 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 want an objective decision let's do it like this with saddam has all the necessary opportunities they could have taken a different approach despite the ban clean athletes will be able to compete up but only under a neutral flag but russian officials are prohibited from attending major sporting events and the country cannot host any tournament the ban includes the 2020 olympics and paralympics in tokyo and the football world cup in qatar in 2022 it also covers at the world hockey and volleyball championships artie's oleksiak shockey breaks down the way for us. 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 on innocent until proven guilty and i'm in it too you're guilty until you can prove you're innocent you complete redress 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 sanction 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 you wait 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 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 so you have for sure that 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 band is implemented late it might miss out on

the 2020 for some 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. more in just a few. garage if it's not going to particular which 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 element involved. i think they're actually applying

a very big news for more and emotive crusade here there once was in terms of collateral damage to the russian the english and russian roots of expect with great anticipation to see what the i.o.c. . point in that's what it's doing it's like saying i'm going to come into your state because of where you're from you know decide who comes in and. some of the big names in russian sport have been sharing their reactions with us on the bat. 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. maybe our flag is something irritating and someone doesn't want to see us competing. in our own anthem. 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. begin you will somehow unite us and those below to participate and additional boost but it does. i'm sure more than 90 percent of all athletes are clean. but if. we support you and i'm sure

you have enough patience together we will do it. all right johnson's conservative party won a resoundingly jordi in the u.k. general election on thursday and it was the worst result for the labor party in more than 80 years meanwhile north of the border the scottish national party won by a landslide weeknight in calls for independence from the u.k. here's how party leaders reacted to a dramatic night. proud to say that members of our new one nation government a people's government will sit tight 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 the party 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. . reinforces and strengthens the mandate we have from previous elections to offer the people of scotland a choice over their future that monday says that it is for the scottish parliament nort a westminster government to say whether and when the should be a new referendum on independence the quick work of the numbers there are 650 seats in the house of commons so a party needs 326 to hold a majority the conservatives took 365 seats while the labor party got 203 ask you taylor breaks down how it all happened. thus they saw the general election in just 4 years so how did we end up on this roller coaster again whilst well my friends it's the usual suspect yeah you guessed it. it sits to play

it turns out that decision taken by those 17400000 people in june 26th into 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 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 the original bricks it 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 2017 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 $2.00 also taught at this point every single british citizen 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 problems 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 put heels 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 lucky introducing boris johnson former mayor of london a bit of a gaffe kicking around. 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 will not go back to brussels and ask for another delay to yes and so you can and. to his credit he's really gone for it he was sick of parliament blocking his ideas so dissolved. 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 the

extension which really really really didn't want to do but to do anyway and then he just decided enough so not so essentially talk to the opposition party after facing off at a general election in order to quote. which my friends i think brings you up today. we have politicians from around the u.k. for their views on the election results and the possible repercussions. now boris can go into a meeting to negotiate and the you 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 any suggestion that was made seem to run into this blocking wall in parliament who were determined to vote against just about everything the labor party used to say they were voting against against different solutions in the times the general election then they voted against an election as well as a small force i think is the sentiment of the people of scotland that this not

based on the views of any one politician this period the the sentiment of people of 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 suck and status that is the ever system will force the a movable object is bought us johnson though it may well be that. bought us jobs and can put these things out in that they can hold back the floods generally speaking that so the 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 today

she but also with respect to the unfolding constitutional debate and ireland north and south. washington has frozen talks with the afghan taliban have to a suicide bombing that story and more still to come on we hear what you want to international. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those great. thinks

. we are here to ask. you know world of big partners. and conspiracy it's time to wait 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 back 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. back to the weekly on r t international now mass unrest is gripping india over a new citizenship law which critics say discriminates against muslims on sunday

shots were reportedly fired at a university campus in new delhi earlier police stormed the campus with tear gas following violent scenes this is video of the reported shooting scene that was posted online in one of the classrooms i. think. as mentioned it comes as protests have intensified nation and. i dove are a new law which could grant millions of migrants in india citizenship status but excludes muslims in one demonstration in the north east to neighboring nepal people were seen burning an effigy of the country's home minister the protesters claim the law is not only discriminatory but also unconstitutional and the country's opposition has threatened to take the case to the supreme court hundreds have joined a hunger strike in india's north east where troops have been deployed and the internet is shut down earlier we heard from a new delhi journalist who told us fear and confusion is gripping the country. well

what we have now is the police into the university sometime earlier this evening which in itself is a huge violation u.u. the police doing and the university grounds the matter what the provocation and the police used an outrageous amount of force the police claim that this was in response to violence that the group that protesters at done earlier but you know there's a little fun to me to now who did that violence because this is a fundamental change 7 to how india is as a country it's a constitutional change this act makes it the point to single out movements it's a very concerted attempt to leave islam out all that matrix the sort of the official reason given for this act has been is is to give headed to religious minorities you know this bill is really playing to the ruling party so we

don't know right now you know it's all up india that's the big 5 you to study right now that is there is confusion within the government that is no clear messaging on what the feel aims of this bill other than to follow right and. left it on is in the grips of its worst violence in 2 months of demonstrations protesters in beirut were out in force on sunday with tear gas deployed by police and rubber bullets fired on 10th clashes between demonstrators and the authorities were triggered by opposing groups of protesters confronting each other dozens of people portably injured nationwide movement against a legit high level corruption started back in october with anger also being vented against public services and the economy. united states this week announced a pause in peace talks with the taliban after a suicide bomber killed 2 civilians outside the bhagam air force base the attack

came in just 2 weeks after a surprise thanksgiving visit to that same base by. president trum a powerful blast hit a medical facility near the main gate more than 60 people were injured initial reports suggested the suicide bomber had targeted a u.s. military convoy though washington denies that and during president trump a visit to the bob graham base he struck a rather upbeat tone despite afghanistan continuing continually being close to war topping the world's most dangerous countries west with the help in the devotion 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 i'm not a big lie wrong politician war monger stuff and in fact just so we'll get off the so-called quantum total itself have been proved that it is the biggest lie of the

century it was predicted changes fida so going off toward on in the center afghan people in the past 18 yes they changed my tent tree. of the situation like hell for our people especially for men and a suicide attack. talks their life off hand off and a sense of value and daily basis and different cities off afghanistan not only in kabul and now there is a heartbreaking reports in afghanistan that the only person in afghanistan who is satisfied off the job is that coffin cellar and also about the almost all of graveyard in a couple of salt. it does it for me i'll be back with more the week with top the hour stay with us. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy

confrontation let it be an arms race is all off and spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is truth what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

. people are. afraid to tell me hasn't forgiven himself for something. i knew she was in there and i knew exactly what out is doing. people live. in that sometimes there's no explanation. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage 3 parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalists attacks particularly catholic population and tens of thousands are forced to flee their homes straight into it these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing they were active participants in the burning of full streets in belfast at the take more

than a 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 inclusion in was involved in some of those cases they killers would later be named. i think it went to the very very top i think it is. the water where all the taste you. give the go ahead. dream agreed to prison which i'm old enough to remember the. it was and most of my family were unemployed working class and it wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the 10
