petersburg, russia during the russian, i sig, escaping championship. which of course of leave a one comfortably. and that a by that ensured her participation in the olympic games that most bizarre part of the story is that the positive results came back on february 8th. and i have to explain here that since rasa is rendered as noncom blind by the world anti doping agency, rasa had to send the sample to an accredited laboratory. that laboratory happens to be a laboratory in stockholm, sweden. so the biggest question here is as to why it took more than a month and a half to produce a result from that probe which was taken on december 25th. something which even the head of the russian became, he just thinks law was nichol stressed in his dress, a dresser. just early on i have serious questions about the time that passed between the 25th of december when a sample was submitted in st. petersburg, on the 8th of february when it was made public, according to the international standards for what a laboratories the deadline for uploading the a sample is 20 days

petersburg and february 8th when it was made public. in accordance with international standards of the world anti doping agency laboratory. the deadline for loading sample a is 20 days from the date of receipt of the sample in the laboratory. it looks very strange that the test took almost a month to get from st. petersburg to stockholm. this raises very serious questions for me. here it's not really about the doping case as such because this will be done later on and we do not even know if there is a positive focus. i think there is no because the information was given on the very rare lay i'm a say. and that means actually has to him to write, to request to be so. so if very confused. causative test is not yet even decided. that means the corporation post 4 can only assess what will be perhaps the likelihood in their mind. what will happen with this case, which day will not be able to decide themselves the only thing they can decide these suspension for the next run, which will be the 15th december rent or not. and i think given, give

earlier, st petersburg was stripped of may's champions league final — uefa now looking at how to endeal with the competition's title sponsor gazprom. the russian state—controlled energy giant pays the governing body tens of millions of pounds every year, but the stadium that bears its name has now lost club football's showpiece event. this isjust an incredible situation that we have — that kind of war within europe — and therefore i think the decision that uefa took was inevitable and it was the right decision. manchester united have had to make a decision themselves over their official airline carrier, aeroflot. today, the club terminating its long—standing multi—million pound partnership with the russian national airline after it was banned from operating in the uk. after years of close association, the world of sport is starting to turn on russia. with russia due to play a world cup play—off match next month, uefa today ordered all its clubs and national teams to play their home matches away from the region. withdrawing sports events may hurt even more than the financial sanctions

petersburg. you think politics has a place in sport? do you think that's the correct decision? a political should not have a place in sports. boards should somehow be something which brings people together and not dividing them, but we see it in the west. that sports is politics. we see this been all these stories in olympia with a young russian girl. there was no doping but a whole week and the german media was writing about doping schedule, which at the end of day it was nothing. it is always politic. the west is doing this not for the 1st time, and it's a pity that they use to sports for that for that instead of for given a chance for people just to come together and have a good time at the cooper game. yeah, that investigation obviously is still ongoing into the doping scandal at the winter . lympics. i'd like to ask you about the sanctions though. the german chancellor has taken a pretty harsh thoughts against russia. they suspended the certification of nord stream to that in turn, leading t

petersburg berries. an online petition that's been going around, sound sound fine. now by more than a $150.00 odd, low coal deputies across russia, condemning the attack of the russian army on ukraine. and there's been another similar letter signed by scientists and journalists. so there is some opposition coming out to what the government's doing, but it's very difficult to gauge exactly how much there is. we do know that before to day vladimir putin is popularity was actually taking up as the bill of troops along the border and carried on beach from 61 to 69 percent of popularity and 5038 percent of russians didn't consider war was likely and half of them believed that both russia ukraine should be independent countries living side by side, so not to be put in himself, remains popular real opinion very, very hard to gauge, of course. okay, thanks burnett's bernard smith's in moscow. and now we're off to washington dc and our white house correspondent, kimberly, how can i, kimberly, and i will get the rundown from you about joe biden and what's expected today in a

petersburg to stucco. looks very strange. this rate is very serious questions for me. oh, law. the doping tests both in europe and here in beijing. all of them were negative . that was something confirmed by both the olympic committee and by the russian skating union. another hugely important point to understand here is that when the positive result came back again on february, 8th, rou sada, was following the international protocol and immediately suspended. believe from further participation in olympic games, but the athlete filed an appeal and asked for an expedited process. and on february 9th rou, sada, allowed valinda to continue her participation in the olympic games. now both the international skating union and the international olympic committee have filed an appeal against ro, side as decision to allow volley. we're to participate in the games. and this is something that needs to be resolved by february 15th, the latest. that is what an female i skate is, will take to the rank in beijing to compete for the metals. here we talk in here, not just about any, any skates.

petersburg and february 8th when it was made public. in accordance with international standards of the world anti doping agency laboratory . the deadline for loading sample a is 20 days from the date of receipt of the sample in the laboratory. it looks very strange that the test took almost a month to get from st. petersburg to stockholm. this raises very serious questions for me. i think it's interesting, we now know that date that the test was, was due on december 25. so the question is what, why is it so late? why? oh, why was it not reported in mid january? you had the european figure skating championship in tell n a and the results should have been available for there. ah, it's no, it's no 6 or 7 weeks after the event of these results should have been should have been available long before now. so one question is, what, what was the, the cause for the delay? let's go back to beijing with back in touch with our correspondent the alexia or a chef ski lexi. you were explaining to us before we were losing the line there about some of t

petersburg to stockholm. this raises very serious questions for me. here it's not really about the doping case as such because this will be done later on and we do not even know if there is a positive the sample test. i think there is not yet because the information was given on the very well laid. i must say, and that means that actually has deal to write to request to be so. so if there is a confused causative test is not yet even decided, that means the court before duration for sport, can only assess what will be perhaps the likelihood in their mind. what will happen with this case, which day will not be able to decide themselves. the only thing they can decide ease suspension for the next iran, which will be the 15th december rent or not. and i think given, given the heart tension and the big effects that we have, such as suspension, there should be very careful in determining this well they detected substance try and met as athene is usually used to treat heart disease and angina. but it may also help athletes recover from strenuous training. in

petersburg and other cities across the world against russia invasion. and the wave of refugees fleeing ukraine continues with the un warning that the work force up to 4000000 people from their homes. ah, we begin with the push to stop the fighting in ukraine. the reuters news agency is reporting that ukraine's president of hell talks with bella. russian president, alexander lucas, shank, full of them are. zalinski says, look, shanker was shorthand baller russian troops would not move into ukraine. and the talks come after ukraine agreed to hold talks of the russian officials at the bell russian border. despite that announcement, russia has put its nuclear deterrence units on high alert. president vladimir putin says this is because some nato member countries had an aggressive approach towards russia. the machine is western countries and not only taking unfriendly actions against our country's economy, but some top officials from nato countries have had a grace from acts towards russia. that's why i command the minister of defense in chief of staff to pu

. , ., ., ., petersburg? that is a matter for the team but if i — petersburg?ressure, looking increasingly likely that the final will be moved and you have to factor fans into this. will they be able to travel? probably not. it is when that decision will come and perhaps uefa will probably make that decision closer towards that final when they know the teams who will be contesting it and trying to pick a suitable venue as an alternative. good morning. the bbc understands european football's governing body is almost certain to switch to a different host city amid the escalating crisis after several countries, including the uk, introduced sanctions against russia. the 68,000 seater gazprom stadium in st petersburg had been selected as this season's venue. uefa said it was "closely monitoring the situation" and "any decision would be made in due course if necessary". mr speaker, on his point about sporting events, as i said earlier on, i think it inconceivable that major international football tournaments can take place in russia after, as i say, the invasion of a
