sport's top court rejects an appeal by russia's anti doping agency to overturn upon on russia not to me but reduces it to 2 years the court of arbitration for sport possession means the russian national flag won't be seen in international sporting events until the end of 2022 while also it's a common russian president vladimir putin wraps up his annual q. and a session with john listen the public last thing just a full hour was the fast time it was dawn remotely by video link you took over it 19. russia was the 1st country in the world to come up with and stop producing its own vaccine we see an expansion we see nato infrastructure coming close its

borders shouldn't we respond to this i haven't decided yet whether i will be running for the 2024 election and french president my new all my tests positive for covert 19 but he will continue his role remote nature and self isolation period. making sure you know the misses story and this says international very room welcome from the whole team. good to have you. well off a story for you this hour is about how spooled top court has rejected an appeal by russia's un to doping agency after the world governing body bandits athletes from competing at international events well it's been a saga of accusations starting with claims of state sponsored dairy paying to tampering with databases to all of our has the story. 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's 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 and 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 cast 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. global anti doping system will not be tolerated so what will these restrictions mean it'll 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 in 2021 also also no team russia at the beijing winter olympics and paralympic games and 2022 and no team russia at the fifo world cup in qatar in 2022 where they can still take place because this is only this suspension this ban is only due for tall evidence that sign up to water the world anti-doping agency fee for the world governing body of football does you a 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 as the host city and st petersburg

will also continue to host the 2021 year way for champions league final. well the international olympic committee has said it is ready to hammer out a roadmap for implementing the court ruling and we discussed the implications with ports experts if the for your band had still been in place it would be the most severe punishment in the history of sport. so a reduction to 2 years are ok nobody's particularly thrilled about this but it it's a deal and i take care to say. this is the end of the road after 2 years presumably russia will be compliant with the war that the doping agencies procedures and it will be reintegrated back into world sport this appears to be the end of the road technically they could appeal it that could go to the swiss folklore court but they would have to show new evidence which i don't think there is any or that there have

been some kind of procedural irregularities in other words a technical problem again i don't imagine that there are any and even if it did get to the swiss federal court it's by no means sure that they would go against the court of arbitration i think more southern lawyer do you know of the just lost patience because remember it is also the huge battle going on for control of the teams already so they're trying to play his nicest possible before very very soon you started the usa you know to go be day they have all 'd their referee lined up to its back while we know that ranch 8 of us has not been signed into error so you're hoping that this will save the masses who are crying you know for russia. everything and anything or worse this is not the end this is needed in middle eastern europe is just going to be one of those sensors and you know that

russia is falling down and. russian president vladimir putin has finished his. sanyal q. and a session with journalists and the public lost in just over 4 hour was for the 1st time it was remote by video link that you took over the 19 but still the russian leader encompassed rule the crucial themes on the minds of the russian people and media. was that for 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 he 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 then our american colleagues left the i.n.f. treaty again not ours you know it's our partners then they withdrew from the open

skies treaty so what should we do you 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 no wieczorek against a prominent opposition figure in russia elects in a valley so glad i'm a putin said that he believed that that particular investigation. it 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 stop 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 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 in a lot of the issues. discussed they were very russia specific but of course crucial and what the russian population really wanted to hear about and normally these major 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 the world people people in power in the regions they may be on feeling too easy they because they know they will be getting a cool so we'll see what comes out of this particular media conference.

or even on a tape reveals that you had a sound tried to warn us officials of limit widespread internet releases of us information i was back in 2011 now the tape has been revealed by conservative investors of project our task and on the recordings sound and logical speaks to cliff johnson who was a tiny at the state department. i think over time. become . a. hurricane to. spread around. to. the degree that. everybody wants to. become public.

while song goes on to say that classified cables had been stolen by a fool. and were being quote spread around the internet the wiki leaks founder also expressed concerns over possible danger to u.s. government employees he suggested that authorities covertly removed the files from the internet and actually offered to help track them down but it appears that officials failed to take action on the information that he had provided they leaked information when told to become known as cable gate more than 250000 classified u.s. state department cables were released into the public domain it contained data on u.s. officials as well as information about washington's foreign policy and secret operations abroad while despite his efforts the songs failed 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. will 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 have from editor in chief of wiki leaks itself who believes the image of julian the sons now should change. tremendous will. basically say you're. argument that is said in the narrative for the justice department in their indictment and which they are try to use now to get a much of a lovely u.k. they were talking about irresponsible behavior and putting lives at risk now this evidence that you heard and i can confirm that this is authentic is not new to the courts in the u.k. a transcript of for 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 partner and a betrayal by a former media partner of the guardian now this would show that there were scraped 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 that wiki leaks and julian were not the primary publisher of the these materials at that time so only after that did we can use the entire unit. it was only after all these warnings to the state departments which was not the 1st one it was on 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 lease and julian assaults the hating like a very responsible publisher of the material while still had the president of

francaise the latest media in europe to test positive for the crate of fire it's well talk about that and many will stories of course off the salt lake. universes reveal. information presence. that is the reality of this thing we call matter here to here can change if you can touch it with shapes sold a. bunch a looser decal or about it. is there such a thing as public opinion anymore after all after 2 election cycles in a row data has been largely imperfect because there is more than just one public and are there good reasons not to trust the polls.

seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to stamp out these days to come out ahead and engage me because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. hello again and the french president has tested positive for 19 officials say a minute will self isolate now one continued to walk remotely with all the latest details has shown it to penske. present not contested positive for 19 the latest world leader to do so that was because the palace said that he presented 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 for 19 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 this week the president might call him and he is also self isolating now this comes of course as france is battling

with the virus a few weeks ago president machen 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 some of the lifting off or 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 at around the 7th but there is this hope that's being pinned on the fact that this vaccine. 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 jap to duplicate. this yourself all conditions are met the 1st marks a nation could be from the last week of december formed by mass vaccination from

january this 1st place will last 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 the president 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 this d.t.'s but for the moment president matt corn has tested positive for 19 but it said that his symptoms are only mild. continuing the theme in another blow to pfizer's covert vaccine to health care workers that are last reportedly suffered a logic reactions to the shot with one rush to intensive care are now one of the workers who did not have a history of allergies remained in hospital on wednesday night should no logic reaction 10 minutes after receiving the vaccine suffered russians all over her face and body shortness of breath and an elevated heart rate despite getting treatment she was still rushed to intensive care and is apparently now making a recovery but it's caleb now reports this is far from the 1st disturbing news on

the shop. 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. 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 approved 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've 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 administered the salt save the case says won't affect its vaccine schedule we also did reach out for comment from pfizer itself they did get back to law saying they won't closely want to tell reports suggestive of serious halachic reactions following fox nation pfizer also claims trial participants what excuse if they did have a history office if their reaction associated with any facts.

despite being overwhelmed with high casualty rates in the pandemic sweden's parliament has okayed a massive on record rise in military spending around the defense ministries excuse while it was russia is because of the new security situation with room for growth and toward you or your. crimea the conflict in ukraine cuties in below. the russian military capability were complex exercises. in the indoor to get into both theory or so so we see a new security a war that they are ready to use the military rules to fulfill political goals in the next 5 years defense spending will trump 40 percent 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 and the number of conscripts will double all of this comes despite the country admitting the pandemic seriously limited to the economy with almost 8000 dead and 350000 cases the country statistics are many times worse than its neighbors and denmark finland norway 2 we discussed the situation with swedish professor emeritus of deputy neology small sallow ferrata denali. so you know the beginning of this pandemic was depleted or. of such and. it is secure units of course. that money should be have better used so to speak in a decent and there are sons and also in 100 schools and on health care. duration limited success that etc but they can hardly a god how leak surprised me that it is so despite him and would have decided to

increase the by this but that extent it is absolutely not the surprise soon and it is already participating in the huge in may here are over asians have rolled under the military front of the united states or so their geopolitical reasons there are there are going to respond and then maybe even into you know they are being nice you know these sit thing old reassuming don't push it but it is still recovering the last year in the area more investment in arms industrial would mean more sales increases sales to countries respond to slate is this saudi arabia and then then you need to emulate for them to continue for them to increase even more. devolving of very old for a country which is yemen that's all from me for today at the top of the hour so

thomas will be here taking the reins. as for me. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the

depths. or a maybe in the shallows. she should remain close it did just that it just means that. you don't mind it just by commision on that. post the shining was all. the time you can look at the my face you know for how long to name a country not in the east of upset the map. and you. have the economy to have more than a from bush at last sept is that. you will slow down the months to get an up close look i mean that as our grander than america the time. around to. use the term obama momentum to. look at what is called the minimum point of land going to come up thinking i'm up each time she comes home to go missing i'm just going to go maybe

i'm not really happy down but i'm going to going to help. hi i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report hey 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 joke hello hey maxwell the theme of this episode is where

a yankee doodle dandy because of course the yankees you know we were 1st called that by the dust because we ripped off everything and we copied everything and then we kind of you know took it as our own word that where we're proud to be yankees right now are full circle according to the 2nd half of the end in this episode where you interview dan collins he raises an interesting situation which is that he says american 5 g. is fake that there's no actual 5 g. it's like a potemkin telecom system we have a potemkin economy we have a potemkin monetary system none of it is real our dollars are not backed by gold it's not backed by even productivity or g.d.p. it's backed by men's with guns and i suppose that's a bit real but the fact is that we're just faking it like it's fake goods were have a fake high tech and that's harder than like when china.
