in. the long. u.k. anti-doping agency refuses to hand over the to the global drugs watchdog track superstar michael farr as part of the ongoing investigation into the disgraced nike oregon project. face criminal charges for approving the euthanasia of a woman with a psychiatric disorder it's the 1st such trial since the procedure was legalized almost 3 decades ago. around. the global nuclear nonproliferation treaty if the countries pressure to iran over its commitments to the full 2015 nuclear deal.
10:01 am
joining us this is r.t. international 1st this hour the u.k. anti-doping agency has said that it is refusing to provide the global doping watchdog water with key samples from british runners the request for the materials came in spite of an ongoing drugs investigation into the night oregon project earlier i discussed the issue with our correspondent. talking about a 4 time olympic gold champion a 6 time world champion in athletics a runner from great britain and he's one of the biggest athletes of the modern generation now there has been speculation for quite some time that such a success story may have been somehow tainted by the use of performance in hands and hands and drugs of b.d.s. as we know them but obviously that was speculation until last year one of the coaches of more fire of the former coach of more alberto salazar part of the oregon project was slapped with a 4 year ban by the u.s. anti-doping agency for allegedly doping his athletes and we're talking about al
10:02 am
carnitine. drug which is not really outlawed by water but in the doses that salazar allegedly used with his athletes that is against the waters code so he was. creating a whole storm of controversy regarding more fire and maybe that salazar used the same techniques on the british athlete but now the world anti-doping agency asked again the u.k. anti-doping agency to hand over more existing doping samples for additional testing which is obviously in the authority of water which is it does you know in many countries across the world but here is what the u.k. anti-doping agency had to say to that there has never been any ill feeling lack of willingness or assistance in part but when you open the sample up every time you freeze it and through it and freeze it again you have agreed in the sample you need to be able to give me credible evidence about what it is you want to look for rather than this just being truly an expedition and on top of that responding to
10:03 am
a question from the journalist head of you cad said you know whether these the weather what has the authority to pick up those samples and walk into the lab and just grab them upon request she said no it will stay with you cady and that has the authority over keeping those samples so you know considering the timing considering the latest news in the world of anti-doping fight this creates a lot of controversy. as i was understand it something's been dragging on for several years it is nothing new why all of a sudden water want to get their hands on these samples from. on the side of what it may be you know the willingness to assert their power especially in the wake of what they did to russia just a fortnight ago on the side of we could speculate a lot but you know the fact that more far is going to the olympics in tokyo this summer you know that could be also the timing because you gayeties being so protective with their star athlete but fair play to more foreign himself he always denied all the accusations of using b.d.s.
10:04 am
he's always said you know come get me and if you want to test me again that's what he said again let's listen i'm happy to be tested anytime and anywhere and for my samples to be used for whatever they need to do keep it and freeze it there is not much more i can do from a fascinating happy free samples to be tested but. russia knows all about the power of water reacted to this story surely i assume that the heads of the russian anti-doping agency are scratching their heads right now having read the news that you know we could have done the same we could have just kept the samples to ourselves because as we know russia provided all the samples to water and after that water decided that russia should be banned from major competitions for 4 years and that is something which is now being contested in the court of arbitration for sport as we speak a very sort of long going battle we are expecting to seal russia sporting fate but nonetheless we have a reaction from one side and i believe we can listen to that now i believe that you can should not obstruct and you transfer examples and you're positive on either
10:05 am
side and this is not just about you can't agree it's a wall of mistrust in the congress anti doping system and records and agree its athletes as part of the system you know the most ironic angle to this whole story is the fact that it was the u.k. anti-doping agency and the u.s. anti-doping agency which were the vocal the most vocal critics of russia and the sort of back in the day they were calling for transparency they were calling for. the world anti-doping fight being equal for everyone and this is exactly what you get have to say back then we all have a genuine interest in ensuring absolute wealth and family stayed the heart of the sports movement regardless of nationality so as we can see this is the case of potentially double standards when some rules apply to one's and does not apply to the others in the case of you know to providing the samples it looks a little bizarre i also discuss the issue with sports journalist alum or in sports or media lecture alice cashmore i think clean sport and fair sports is not had play
10:06 am
here from you card. they were one of the ones who wanted to have some russian athletes at the olympics usada didn't want anybody at all and you cut their fear for their own athletes because remember disses disses not about sport this is not a fair play to sit people money and power and so long as you can don't have to turn over samples to your saga then they have her keep making money and this is always down to because it's you know it was never about fairness they don't care about u.k. athletes you don't care about russian athletes or ours to athletes all they care about is money and power it is double standard there's no question about that in my own mind and i think the rest of the world will stand as the jury on since say hang on a 2nd a few years ago britain was screaming for us for. punishment to be doled out to russia because they refused to cooperate now they're doing
10:07 am
exactly the same thing themselves so all the vices punishment. probably are you know because if they refuse and they can they wreck and refuse to hand over the stop was to water then they are risking the punishment for all british athletes we presume if what is going to be consistent in god we get is punishments don't forget the punishment against russia was bad russia as a nation so that meant that every single athlete in russia was punished. a landmark test case for euthanasia rules is unfolding in belgium where for the 1st time since the practice was legalized 3 doctors face criminal charges prosecutors allege they illegally ended the life of a $38.00 to a woman the woman's family says that they've been broken by her death skitter looks into the issue. on christmas eve in 2937 year old teenager told her family she wanted to be euthanized but while teen suffering might have ended
10:08 am
several months later of in a clinic in the flemish city of god and that of her family is still ongoing because the 3 doctors who were involved are now on trial for her mother this will be belgium's fust criminal case concerning heath and asia since the practice was legalized back in 2002 which accounts for an average of 6 deaths of 3 day the doctors insist they acted in good faith and are unfairly being painted as murderers but the hiring account teen says does give of that fateful day raises questions over the competence and motives of the medical professionals. who likened her death to that of a pattern that is and p. and is having a shot. when
10:09 am
she died he asked all parents if they wanted to listen through the stones code to check her heart had actually stopped. belgium is only one of 2 countries which allows for euthanasia on psychiatric grounds and sees people suffering from depression gender identity issues and an erect resort to this so-called must see killing 2 months before her death as is required by your teen went to the psychiatry list dr chan point who diagnosed her with a mild form of autism teen's family protests this diagnosis adamant she was simply suffering heartbreak and distress after a failed relationship. she knew that if she wasn't diagnosed with autism or asperger's she would have no chance of being euthanized as such they say the key
10:10 am
legal requirement that a patient be incurably ill was not met and so by injecting her with that lethal dose she was poisoned really confused by the diagnosis and in this particular psychiatrists solution of suicide it just doesn't it doesn't fit together for me i think that there is a dangerous especially from a mental health perspective when people play god is so to speak when we're making decisions now about life and death or when other people are making decisions about when to in their life based on things that can be fixed pretty easily in some cases mental illnesses autism is certainly very treatable one of my child has some mild autistic manifestations and we get through those you know it's certainly not a reason to kill someone or to commit suicide but this was far from the only irregularity they noted and when they launched a complaint the doctors allegedly tried to block the investigation with the
10:11 am
psychiatry even hitting back at the grieving family we must try to stop these people. it is a seriously dysfunctional one dead traumatized family with very little empathy and respect for others this is not the fust time psychiatry to diagnose teen has come under scrutiny but in 27000 documents revealed the head of belgium's euthanasia review commission was concerned dr 10 point wasn't fulfilling all necessary legal conditions relation soured so much that he refused to accept any father patients referred by doc to temp aren't her colleagues are also worried that she's allegedly approved around a 3rd of all euthanasia cases for psychiatric reasons in the whole country she is not really a great person to go to in terms of her judgment for this kind of medical procedure she has a personal and are for looking at euthanasia as
10:12 am
a as a solution for these patients so perhaps patients seek her out when for like this happens it just happens to be too much of this about one particular physician and that's why she's being called into question by 9 other psychiatrist in her own field in belgium that she's doing something wrong so clearly there's some more investigation we need to learn more about this particular psychiatrist and this particular event others have said dr 10 point doesn't expect treatment options available before granting euthanasia an allegation backed by teen sistas. instead of trying to go team to a better life team was deliberately led to death and pushed without the reasonable treatment options being exhausted and consequently without suffering being relieved the question is whose interest was paramount in this process the interest of team or the interest of others euthanasia is legal in just 5 countries and is one of the most controversial practices globally stories like teens reveal just how difficult
10:13 am
it is twin sure that people's desire for personal freedom isn't tragically misinterpreted and abused or yes the lives of these are carter standing trial in the euthanasia case for a response she told us that she cannot comment at this time all 3 doctors deny the charges. iran is threatening to quit a global nuclear nonproliferation treaty aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and signed in 1958 that's if european countries refer the issue of tehran's noncompliance with the faltering 2015 new deal to the un security council if the europeans continue their improve her behavior also in the run filed with the security council we will withdraw from the nonproliferation treaty. if these statements by europeans continue the islamic republic of iran is designing a final and more effective step in reducing our commitments under the. age. of the
10:14 am
2015 deal was designed to limit iran's nuclear activities in exchange for the easing of sanctions in 2018 washington withdrew from that and tehran has gradually been reducing its compliance to threatening to quit the deal completely round says it will also review its cooperation with the u.n. nuclear watchdog. for pulling out of the nuclear deal the united states impose sanctions on iran and urged its european allies to follow suit berlin earlier confirmed that donald trump threatened to slap huge tariffs on european carmakers if it didn't move away from the iran nuclear deal. and the euro trio of berlin london paris claimed the rounds noncompliance of the nuclear deal is forcing them to trigger the dispute mechanism round now has 30 days in which to return to compliance filing which will be referred to the u.n. security council which could reinstate sanctions iran's supreme leader slammed the 3 european states as us poor but despite what iran calls the ill will from european
10:15 am
countries it says the door of negotiations with them is still open. for the signal to have a professor of political science at the university of tehran welcome moscow is calling around threat counter productive adding it will only embolden those who oppose the deal what would you say to that. as the one and a half year ago when the trumpet ministration decided to leave the nuclear accordion was the europeans that convinced you ron to stay in the deal with the promise that they were going to shield the one from american sanctions in reality they did nothing in during that year where you were on fulfilled all of its obligations essentially u.s. sanctions kept increasing to the point they the uranium currency lost over 70 percent of its value you rein in oil exports actually dropped to levels below the nuclear deal. and when that happened iran essentially came to the conclusion that
10:16 am
was it was also going to reduce its compliance under the deal mind you won his not withdrawn completely from the deal now when iran did that it was the europeans they came in triggered to dispute resolution mechanism but from iran's point of view this is being very hypocritical actions by the europeans if the europeans were truly committed to the deal they should have triggered it is this dispute resolution mechanism in a year and a half ago when the trumpet ministration essentially try to killed it not now so there's a lot of bitterness and anger in tehran we guarding the europeans and today essentially iran is saying that if you take this mechanism to its full extent and take the case that the security council then essentially there's no reason for iran to stay in the n.p.t. you're saying that european countries really should have triggered the dispute mechanism quite a while ago do you think they're only doing it out because of pressure from the
10:17 am
united states. absolutely i mean the washington post revealed 5 days ago that the trumpet ministration threatened them with tariffs on european cars and it was the europeans that bowed to that pressure so you can't really have it both ways on the one hand ballon to american pressure and killing the deal while at the same time coming out in saying that you know your support the deal and you're committed to the deal today iran is receiving no economic benefits related to the deal and a lot of people and analysts are questioning the benefits of the deal and this is really harmed the government of hassan rouhani and its popularity final point is also did withdrawing from the n.p.t. if it actually comes to that doesn't necessarily mean that iran is going to go and build a nuclear bomb or rather iran is going to bar n.p.t. investigators from coming in inspecting iranian nuclear installations that's what
10:18 am
it needs. to run a search that is still open to negotiating with european countries about the nuclear deal given what we've just said about the pressure from america of europe to those countries a strong get up is there nothing centive for them to to actually speak to iran and about doing so oppose the will of the us. well so far they have shown no such well i mean to the point that a lot of analysts in tehran are thinking now that maybe even from the beginning they were coordinating their actions with the americans playing a good cop bad cop strategy if you like where the americans were putting pressure on iran while the europeans were essentially convincing iran to fulfilling its obligations without getting any economic benefits and today that is not really working anymore if the europeans are truly committed to keeping the nuclear deal then they should come up with mechanisms and the will and the power to stand up to
10:19 am
the americans and she will do wrong from the sanctions otherwise the deal will probably die in the next few months and i think that will be detrimental for everyone both the europeans as well as he was. many thanks for your time her mother listen to the analysis expert analysis of how mad must solve a professor of political science at the university. program activists rally in the united states. state of virginia this is up to local authorities are passed new laws a prospective gun ownership will bring you that story in detail after this break. the world does driven by a dreamer shaped pounced on person at there is great no
10:20 am
dare use thinks we dear to ask you know world of big part of some through lot is and conspiracist it's time to wake to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more the never we me to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door i'm the bath and shelving past each other it's tall for critical thinking it's tied to fight for the middle for the troop the time is now for watching closely for watch it to

hawks welcome back french prosecutors of loosed an inquiry have to foot he's of a riot office a big eating a protest it went viral goodly don't do still gun so you all know that room i took at look at the look good i can't think of the time you can't see france also film the aftermath of the incidents that was that a yellow fest riley and paris all sounds of i placed tried to stop credit to system getting closer is the officer in question was punishing the mount on the ground it's the latest in a line of accusations against police it protests with another case already claims that rubber bullets were fired at point blank range. of the latest march in the
10:22 am
french capital people express fury at the government's pension reform plans for the clashes between police and demonstrators a strike by public transport workers over the reform has brought chaos to paris for almost 2 months now and spite the government's promise to compromise agreeing to drop some of the most controversial aspects of the plans with a glamorous nickel america which told us that much of the media ignores the violence by police at these demonstrations. of different the restrictions that we've had past years have always been. with violence there's extreme violence and mainstream media we only see the violence of the demonstrators and very rarely the violence of police forces and this is has this has become a very big issue in france where people from the left out from the right just don't understand what's going on we've seen this practically every weekend through the you know best demonstrations this is one of the methods this is one of the main methods police are using today and it's quite paradoxical because french police was
10:23 am
known in the past for being one of the police in europe in the world now using violence that was at frenchmen of controlling demonstrations and then you can even with demonstrations were getting out of hand and this clearly shows that this is part of the past and the new with its meaning police using extreme violence against demonstrators. ok let's bring in live pictures now from richmond virginia in the united states this is the scene right now where a pro gun rally is and the way the local authorities of announce the state of emergency there and the firearms ban ahead of this rally monday's event being described as a credible threat with thousands of armed people planned to attend the rally itself comes after the state senate announced 3 new bills restricting gun ownership what details is are these killable. as the 2020 alexion get closer there's a lot more dividing and. erica than just political personalities in virginia the issue of firearms and state regulations who can buy or own one is
10:24 am
a big point of contention. the claim that universal background checks supposed to stop criminals gets access to firearms this focus in reality they only restrict little fool going to discourage gun ownership and turn otherwise law abiding people into unwitting felons. in states that have these laws most of the geishas have resulted in middle of the night rates where gun owners have been killed or have their guns confiscated so on january 20th gun activists are having a rally demanding their right to bear arms under the us constitution and local authorities are cracking down saying that no guns may be present at the rally the prohibition is temporary and it will expire on tuesday after the rally and those
10:25 am
who would bring violence into virginia have left and returned to where they came from now local gun activists say this is an absurd restriction after all what is the point of having a gun if you can't have it on your person in order to protect yourself especially at a heated political rally where things might get rough and they blame this restriction on the democratic party the governor and leadership of the democratic party have declared war on law abiding gun owners and they're tired of it it's basically people saying we're fed up we've had enough governor northam of virginia says it is absolutely necessary that there be no guns at the rally in order to protect public safety he's pointed out that militia groups have made statements about storming the state capital and other things that aren't exactly considered to be peaceful rhetoric no one wants another incident like the one we saw in charlottesville in 2017. we will not allow that made him and violence to happen
10:26 am
here. now gun activists say that their rights are being taken away they fear that gun access restrictions in virginia could soon spread to other states virginia is ground 0 for the 2nd amendment right now anti gunners want to take what they did here in virginia and and replicated in other gun friendly states there are some strong arguments on both sides if democrats oppose owning guns aren't they essentially going against the us constitution and various supreme court rulings that have said that owning a gun is
10:27 am
a fundamental right for american citizens however isn't it a bit unreasonable to expect that right wing activists should be allowed to walk around government buildings locked and loaded so sheriffs and virginia or elsewhere in the country have taken states is where they openly publicly said they will not of course what they view to be on top of situational wall if you can have universal background checks what is the use of having them to get into. you know we need a license to drive a car. we need more safety to drive a car then to own a weapon that kills we have people in here that are collectors we have people in here that's just their that's their pastime that's what they do they don't have a criminal background they don't do anything wrong that is just how they choose to spend their money and their time i mean myself i just purchased a gun. you know. like a right to bear arms should be for every citizen of the family business but since
10:28 am
10:29 am
a good show. and we must. not so much of a. house it is a ton. of money as. i . say you know before george soros became vilified as a global market manipulator and electioneering or he wrote a lot of interesting books and of course a progress at the quantum fund which was one of the best performing hedge funds ever kind of invented the modern hedge fund and he's got a lot of things to say if you look at his old work and we're going to get into a. shifting is it speak like figure skating cause it should trouble sideways it's
10:30 am
a specific kind and it's no less than 100 kilometers per hour to try this rivals and all this at the same time the pair of cars must follow the send kids moving each other's places spaces at maximum speed and place to get that. shifting was born in japan fit to school it's become incredibly popular in russia the reason it's him. it's where cheap rear wheel drive cars are made winter is a long and plentiful ice makes easy safe and so much cheaper than during the. original trained as a nurse. began his drifting career on the streets now he's the only russian pilot who also drives a car like this in the summer to.
