summit with. its. sports top court rejected appeal by russia's anti doping agency to overturn a ban on russian after means pot reduces it to 2 here is the court of arbitration for sports decisions means the russian national pride would be seen at international sporting events until the end of 2022. also to come russian president vladimir putin wraps up his annual q. and a session with john the sun the public lost in just over 4 hours for the 1st time it will start remote means by video link but 90. russia was the 1st country in the world to come up with and stop producing its own

vaccine if we see an expansion we see nato infrastructure coming closer to our borders or shouldn't we respond to this i haven't decided yet whether i will be running for the 2024 election. and french president emanuel mccrone tests positive for 19 you will continue has role remotely during a self isolation period. you're watching out international the best decision that there are is we're very glad you are joining us at this hour. want to start us off this hour us sports top court house rejected an appeal by russia's anti doping agency after the world governing body banned it's athletes from competing at international events it's been a somewhat go of accusations starting with claims of state sponsored doping to tampering

with databases speech on a hostility to. 2 year ban certainly a lot better than a 4 year ban however you look at it there is some on happiness from the russian side that they say a number of their points weren't listened to the world governing body had wanted a 4 year ban the court of arbitration for sport opting for 2 years instead what it means though is that clean athletes those that can prove that they've passed drug tests over a set period of time will be able to compete under a neutral flag they will be able to have the name russia on their uniforms and their uniforms can also bear the the russian trickle off flag even though that flag can't be flown those tournament's and the russian national anthem also can't be on those tournament either hope that's all very clear russian officials in sport also won't be able to take part in tolerance over that period of time but can be invited guests of honor at the russian side well it's really the best they could have hoped

for as i said it's better than the original 4 year ban but they still say that there was a number of points they put forward that weren't listened to by the court as we understand not all our points were heard but we do welcome a responsible and reasonable approach towards clean russian athletes and a principle of collective responsibility imposed by water towards all russian sports the court acted fair when agreed with the logic of the russian agence e and other international sports organizations and rejected sanctions on innocent russian athletes the world anti-doping agency aren't happy they wanted this to be a 4 year ban to send a big message to to anybody considering doping in the future wilder is pleased to have won this landmark case we are however disappointed that the cas panel did not endorse each and every one of our recommended consequences for the 4 year period we requested this sends a clear message that institutionalized cheating and concerted efforts to subvert

the. lobel anti doping system will not be tolerated so what will these restrictions mean it will mean they'll be no team russia the tokyo olympics that it be rescheduled for next year and the paralympic games will be taking place 2021 also also no team russia at the beijing winter olympics and paralympics games in 2022 and no team russia at the fifo world cup in qatar in 2022 where they can still take place because this is only the suspension this ban is only. for tall evidence that sign up to water the world anti-doping agency fee for the world governing body of football does you way for the european governing body of football they do not that means there can be a team russia taking place at next year's european championships st petersburg which is said to be a host city at those championships will remain the host city and st petersburg will

also continue to host the 2021 year way for champions league final. well let's bring in now marco had rescues a coach and had to open an initiative to connect russian and german sport marco welcome to the program good to have you 1st i want to ask you i mean from your perspective as a person in sport well competing as neutrals affect the performance says of athletes. yes it's going to must go so of course it does. not. or another. because. of course a. very proud. nation. if

country or. then i sing much more. on the. international competition now would you consent out boycotting the games for example if you watch forced to compete as a not especially knowing if you're clean sing that's not the music question answer yes or no because you must know. most. of the conditions. you must know. this. to be. so it's not easy to say next on my training in all 'd this yes nothing.

like. to be. told that also about clean or innocent athletes is that fat that they are going to suffer hair and is this a case of politics being bigger than sports. it's my personal think it is of course. sure. when you see the. outside from or confront. the russian federation's. i sing. forbes so but it was as if it's

a future. business 2 years. ever since started. because of all of this. that is. present. do you think that this is the end of the saga and do you expect to receive to be fully reinstated in 2023. agencies since the rules. about all of the $61.00. through sports were rushed into. a single just from russia to. the russian federation this is our sport again.

this result. was. well that was a marker headdress a coach and had to have an initiative on connect russian jobs but we appreciate your insight we'll see how that over say people within russia will continue to be inspired and go into sport in the future thanks your comments. on another news russian president vladimir putin has finished his annual q. and a session with less on the public now at last in just over a 4 hour was for the fast talking about it was remote by video link of course 19 but still the russian need to encompass all the crucial scenes on the minds of russian public and media. spin that for us up the residents of the russian president. it wasn't just a media conference it was a full on marathon which gyration fill literally a few only a few minutes short of 5 hours the range of topics discussed well it

literally ranged from some very small and specific issues that affected maybe only a few 100 russians living in a remote village to some huge geo political aspects which could send ripples all over the world and the latter was what the question over the b.b.c. correspondent was about essentially he asked the russian president whether or not he felt at least a little bit at least partially responsible for the rather well of poor state of relations between russia and some western nations namely the united states and the united kingdom he also asked whether or not putin thought that was quote unquote all white and fluffy here is what florida putin had to say to that. yes we are peaceful and calm nato promised it wouldn't expanse of the u.s. but didn't deliver on this we see an expansion we see nato infrastructure coming

closer to our borders shouldn't we respond to this who quit the antiballistic missile treaty it wasn't ours so we have to invent brand new types of weapons to protect us from a possible threat and then our american colleagues left the i.n.f. treaty again not you know it's our partners then they withdrew from the open skies treaty so what should we do leave everything as it is you're smart people so why do you think we are dumb. recently an investigation by belling caddick used russia and vladimir putin personally of using a military grade talks in so-called novi chalk against a prominent opposition figure in russia elects in a valley so vladimir putin said that he believed that that particular investigation . i was part of a foreign game of essentially over a foreign intelligence operation against the russian government another big topic which absolutely dominated the whole media conference was world covert of and

everything about it was asked whether or not he had a job he said no he hadn't because the vaccine for his age group or was not yet fully available and that he would vaccinate himself as soon as this particular type of attack seen for the elderly is in abundance russia was the 1st country in the world to come up with and start producing its own vaccine is 95 percent effective not a single serious case of side effects far and colleagues are ready to work with us i'd be glad for a world renowned specialist to join forces with russian partners i'm sure the result will be good. again another in your face question for vladimir putin asking literally as to will donald trump be offered a position in russia or a shelter in russia a diplomat diplomatic shelter

a political shelter the way this is the one that for instance would snowden is enjoying right now so here's how the putin addressed that question. russian hackers have never helps any american president get elected and never interfered in the domestic affairs of the usa these allegations are all used to make relations between our 2 nations worse to undermine the legitimacy of the still incumbent president of the us and in this case now our bilateral relations are hostage to american domestic issues all of these topics and we still just very very barely scratch the very surface of what has been discussed here in the past well almost 5 hours it's literally the very very tip of the iceberg and a lot of the issues discussed today were very russia specific but of course crucial and what the russian population really wanted to hear about and normally these

media conferences they don't just and now it means that there will be a lot of work done there will be a lot of phone calls a lot of discussions this and a lot of governors and oh well the people people in power in the regions they maybe aren't feeling too easy they because they know they will be getting a cool so we'll see what comes out out of this particular media conference. a big story a leaked tape reveals that jude in the song tried to move u.s. officials all on limits widespread internet releases of us information back in 2011 now the tape has been revealed by conservative investors of outlets project veritas now only recording a song john legend he speaks to cliff johnson an attorney out the state department . we have been telling. state. because. it came to. be.

spread around. to. the degree that. we believe we've. become public. some possibility. well a songe goes on to say that classified cables had been stolen by a former colleague and were being quote to spread around the internet and the wiki leaks found to express concerns over a possible danger to u.s. government employees and he suggested on far to covertly remove the files from the internet and even offered to help track them down but it appears that officials failed to take action on the information that he had provided the leaked information we all know went on to become known as cable gate more than 250000 classified u.s. state department cables were released into the public domain now it contain data on

u.s. officials as well as information about washington's foreign policy and secret operations of lords despite his efforts to sound fair to extradition to the u.s. and 2012 took refuge in london's ecuadorian embassy he was under investigation by washington for his role in quote publishing documents on possible u.s. war crimes in iraq and afghanistan last year british police dragged him from the embassy to a prison cell for breaching bail conditions while the extradition hearings continue we heard from the editor in chief of wiki leaks he believes the image of syrians should not change. this should have a tremendous weight because it's basically the argument that is in the narrative for the justice of their indictment and try to use it to get emotional a lot of the u.k. you know talking about irresponsible behavior and putting lives at risk now this

evidence that you heard and i can come true and that this is all sent is not new to the courts in the u.k. transcript or through this conversation was presented to the court in september this was not under de julian's control or weaken his control this was betrayal by a former reporter and a betrayal by a former media partner of the guardian no. this would show that there were some great care taken and trying to avoid any harm but that offer was was ignored the state department never came back to julian for more information and seem to have not done anything based on this warning and keep in mind look we killings and julian were not the primary publisher of the of this material at the time so only after that did we can lose the entire unit it was only after all these warnings to the state departments which was not the 1st one it was an offer

over to your earlier to the state department to cooperate so it's totally goes against the narrative in the indictment and to totally goes to show that we can lose and julian assaults the aiding like a very responsible. terrier. but it's a quick update to our developing story that was from last hour a group of 10 people including children have been found in a system of stone mines outside of moscow the children are aged between now and 12 and were being supervised by 22 adults rescue services were called into action after group failed to return hours after entering the artificial cave system the santa caves are the 5th largest in russia it's being reported that 10 of them are safe. while still to come here at all it seems the president of france is the latest me down europe to test positive for the trade of virus we'll talk more about

pot and watch much more off the short break. ok why are people in debt so much well you know housing is very expensive and education is very expensive and health care is very expensive because of all the money printing that's being done to help people manage their expenses. what a job. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being

led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or remain in the shallows. welcome back the french president has tested positive for kovac 19 official say among all micro will self isolate and continue to walk remotely a shot at events king reports present my contested positive for kofi 19 the latest will lead to do you say that was because the lees a palace said that he present. with some mild symptoms so apparently he had a dry cough and a fever he will now self isolate as is the rule here in france for the next 7 days

but he will of course continue to carry out his functions as the head of state but he will do so remotely now the fact he's tested positive. has many ramifications politically for ministers here in france and other individuals who have met him but also other european leaders we've heard in the last few hours that the belgian prime minister the portuguese prime minister and the spanish prime minister all had contact with mr mack on in the last few days and they will all now be self isolating we also heard that the president of the european council shall michel although he doesn't consider himself to have been a contact case he was at that european summit earlier this week with president mack on and he is also self isolating now this comes of course as france is battling with the virus a few weeks ago president said he hoped by this point in december we would be seeing around 5000 positive new cases every day the figure is still above 10000

every day and because of that france has had to delay a some of the lifting of the strictures it had hoped to do on december 15th including opening cultural places they won't now be opening until at least january of next decision taken that are around the 7th but there is this hope that's being pinned on the fact that this vaccine for could be approved for use in europe in the next few weeks the prime minister who is also now in self isolation after meeting president machen was at the national assembly yesterday where he was outlining the timeline for hopefully administering that jab. yourself all conditions are met the 1st actual nation could be from the last week of december 4th by mass vaccination from january this year. peace was 6 to 8 weeks well there's a bit of a problem with this because people have been to do their civic duty in the past by

the prime minister to go and have the job but it does seem as if there is a large section of french society who are not keen to line up for that vaccination for 19 days have shown that there is sort of this disconnect with the french public and the latest one showing that around a half of the individual surveyed said that they would not be getting the job now they've cited concerns such as effectiveness of the serum unwanted side effects and the fact that they perhaps mistrust vaccines generally that's a theme that we've heard a lot about here in france now present my corn have said previously that he would get the vaccine but only when it was the right time to do so and he said that he wouldn't make that vaccine mandatory of course all eyes on how the president continues in terms of his health with this virus but there is a sense that there are plans in place if he does become ill with covert 900

seriously ill than it seems the president of the senate would take from his duties but for the moment president matt corn has tested positive for 19 but it said that his symptoms are only mild. and not the blow to pfizer's covert vaccine to health care workers in alaska have reportedly suffered a logic reactions to the shot with one brush to intensive care now one of the workers who did not have a history of allergies remained in hospital on wednesday night she had an allergic reaction 10 minutes after receiving the vaccine and suffered russians all over her face and body shortness of breath and an elevated heart rate despite getting treatment she was rushed to intensive care the woman is now apparently making a recovery but is caleb maupin reports this is far from the 1st disturbing news. on the salt now the reports that we have received indicate that the person did not have a history of severe allergic reactions now this comes on the heels of reports about

2 health care workers in the united kingdom who both had severe reactions to the vaccine as well and that caused the united kingdom to actually issued this warning any person with a history of a significant action to a vaccine myths and should not receive the fine is appealing to it's important to note that when pfizer looked into the case they did emphasize that the 2 individuals in the united kingdom did have a history of allergic reactions the f.d.a. of the united states has gone ahead and approve pfizer is vaccine but made clear that it is only available to those who are 16 years of age or older and who don't should not be given to people with a history of severe allergic reactions and at this point we have got some very prominent officials praising this new jab that's available to fight against cove it today our nation has achieved a medical miracle we have delivered

a safe and effective vaccine in just 9 months this is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments in history we have these reports about the health care worker in alaska so people are waiting for more information many are concerned about this vaccine will it be safe will it actually put an end to the pandemic as some have predicted so many are keeping their eye on this situation is certainly disturbing news to hear that a health care worker has had an adverse effect while the hospital that administers the sought says the cases won't affect it's not seen schedule we've also reached out for comment from pfizer itself they've got back to us saying they will place he wanted to report suggestive of serious and logic reactions finding facts a nation pfizer also claimed that the trial participants were excluded if they had a history of severe reaction associated with any facts in. finally despite being overwhelmed with high casualty rates in the pandemic sweden's parliament has ok to

a massive and rack would rise in military spending the defense ministries excuse russia is because of the new security situation with rough aggression toward you or your. crimea the conflict in ukraine cuties and below. the russian military capability were complex exercises cutie in the indoor to both theory are the source so we see a new security of war ready to use the military rules to fulfill political goals one of the next 5 years defense spending will jumpsuit he presented thoughts to $11000000000.00 it's being called the country's biggest military budget boost in modern history the armed forces will get up to $90000.00 new soldiers on the number of conscripts will double while this comes despite the country admitting the pandemic seriously limited the economy with almost 8000 dead and 350000 k.

says the country statistics are multiple times worse than its neighbors in denmark finland norway we discussed the situation with swedish professor a member of merit us rather of epidemiology more kind of fraud or to naani. so now the beginning of this pandemic depleted or they are. of such recent. betsy it is secure units of course. that money should be better used so to speak any decent and there are sons and also in 100 schools and on health care. duration of the emergency exit etc but he can hardly a got a house leak surprise me that it is so despite him and would have decided to increase the value of that extent it is absolutely not the surprise so you think it is poor really but speaking in the huge he made your car over asians have rolled under the military command of the united states or so their geopolitical reasons

they are there are they going to respond and then maybe even into you know they are being nice you know the senate thing old for that area assuming they push it but it is still recovering the last year in the atlantic area more investment in incarnates the industrial would mean more sales increase in sales to countries rescan just latest this is saudi arabia and then then united that emulates for them to continue for them to increase even more. devolving of very old for a country which is german. it's about full by sticking with us we have to see said . earlier with their friends their parish got another researcher
