platforms too and that's where saatchi comes in but we should expect too much maybe some expect the situation in syria will be resolved right after a declaration when announcements and what we know how politics works these negotiations are just a stage. or there'll be no russian flag at the twenty eighteen winter olympics in south korea the international paralympic committee has upheld its ban on team russia though it's allowing clean athletes to compete as neutrals two months earlier a similar decision was taken by the international olympic committee but while all eyes are on russia now allegations of doping violations are surfacing elsewhere in the world. in the run up to next month's winter games the issue of doping has taken the main stage once again seeing the majority of russian athletes banned and those eligible to participate forced to compete under a neutral flag and frankly at this point when you hear doping you think russia but is the problem really reserved to just the one country i'm afraid the answer is

or basically the only forensic evidence from them that is the bottle damage the scratches on the saatchi bottles and in this case i can tell you that berlinger that's the manufacturer that supposedly dr rather was e-mailing it was the same manufacturer for saatchi and the same model of the bottles a new version in a way but the model was the same so i can also remind you that neither the mcclaren team nor the investigators that were appointed by the to really make the decisions on the story to investigate the cases in the doping samples of the russian athletes stay never showed us the visual proof of that so we are now trying to get in touch with that professor to see what else he can say but apparently judging from that email there could have been flaws with the bottle so questions can be raised another element that i want to bring up here is email exchanges again we cannot verify the authenticity or confirm that these emails are real but we're trying to do that right now it was. the e-mail exchanges between the soprano family which are former russian track and field athletes and the i.

evidence what was the only forensic evidence in this case these were the damaged bottles from saatchi and the scratches but. that is the manufacturer of produce the equipment for saw as well and it was the same model so this is something that is raising questions and we also have to bear in mind that neither the mcclaren investigative team nor the next team that was appointed by the international olympic committee to look into this they never showed us visual proof of their experiments with the bottles and that's something that's very important here so if the bottles had indeed been flawed what else can happen what else can we say about the saatchi ones and this forensic evidence as the i.o.c. puts it when it comes to the russian athletes and spare interesting and do that easily into trying to thank you. fifty two people are dead after being burned alive in a bus fire in the western part of kazakhstan only five of the passengers on board managed to get out of the fear bill including two of the bus drivers all the deceased victims were said to be from neighboring uzbekistan the bus rep

collapse before it began turkish backed opposition figures refused to participate after arriving at saatchi's airport overnight offended by the presence of syrian government flags. we were surprised to see that none of the promises were kept needed a brutal bombardment stopped nor were the syrian regime flags and slogans removed from the conference banners and we have seen a lack of diplomatic manners from the host country which. two hours late spring seedings finally got underway. but the chaos continues during russian foreign minister sergey lavrov opening remarks in the conference hall. in the room one thousand three hundred ninety three international observers and delegates from many walks of syrian life political religious ethnic cultural and business they pushed ahead with dialogue agreeing in the ends to embrace twelve principles developed in the un the stalled geneva process and to form a constitutional committee comprising syrian government and opposition figures but there was no disguising the absence of the main rebel organizations among them the syrian negotiations committee the k

board the syrian negotiation committee which represents a number of rebel groups voted to boycott saatchi you think the way the war was going that that be interested in talking but perhaps there was pressure on them not to get involved the syrian negotiation commission agreed not to attend the sortie conference our focus remains delivering a credible political transition for syria through the un led geneva talks putin's spokesperson said it himself don't expect a breakthrough a peace treaty or re conciliation here in sochi this is not what this venue is about it's just a space for the various sides in syria the various ethnicities denominations to come together and to talk about their differences not necessarily resolve them it's to get the bull rolling because what has been sorely lacking in the syrian civil war is any sort of. dialogue between the warring sides between the rivals and the opponents this is intended to set up to give them an opportunity to sit down and to talk about their differences as just mentioned at the sides do not agree on many points about syria's future including

they want to come anyway because of what's going on in africa and so this all basically steers the saatchi towards the moscow and damascus perspective on the syrian conflict the upshot of this congress is likely to be the endorsement of of a new what they're calling a constitutional committee made up supposedly all of the syrian government on one side and opposition representatives on the other but if the main groups of the opposition are not here. then this allows damascus to essentially say that the opposition groups boycotting sochi boycotting this process are saboteur over peace the big question of course is where the un stands on the of this and whether stefan de mistura will approve of these measures and not allow this to filter into the geneva process the russians believe that he is on board rafters wait to see whether the u.s. that suggest that is confirmed or not the deputy director of the f.b.i. has resigned weeks before his official retirement date the u.s. president has repeatedly criticized andrew mccabe for political bias donald trump is accused mccabe of favoring his rival h
