to sochi now where turkey's prize russia. his russian counterpart for talks on the conflict in syria is a province by jim of pollution said there were complicated matters to discuss as they headed in several hours ago this is the second time in ten days the leaders of met one has warned of a blog often it live if syrian government forces backed by russia and iran attempt to recapture the last rebel held territory the un has warned a full scale offensive would lead to the west humanitarian catastrophe in the twenty first century. well the two leaders would you to give a news conference some three hours ago but as you can see we're still waiting for that to begin in the meantime let's speak to worry chalons who is monitoring developments for us from moscow what's behind the delay rory. well it's difficult to say are the moments we were told via the turkish sides several hours ago that the meeting had finished and yet we are still waiting for this press conference now. retired and said going into the meeting with putin the he th

the fifth time that russia is taking place in sochi. twenty drivers from ten teams will make three hundred kilometers on the race track just behind me that's fifty three laps and the biggest intrigue obviously is whether the english man the fastest englishman alive lewis hamilton would be able to strengthen his grip on that side of his already forty points at the top of the table or maybe sebastian fatso all ferarri launches a spectacular comeback and wins this race you never know and interesting to see if lewis hamilton wins this race again and he has wanted two times already before whether he would soak the russian president in champagne again on the podium just like he did back in twenty fifteen. in afghanistan in the we just go on hundreds of locals who previously worked in the country for the german army of block the entrance to a military base demanding help from berlin they say their work has put their lives in danger no less but it seems that requests for asylum a falling on deaf ears. just not. just. on the you know. just the w

there is no clear evidence for that, but it really looks like -- if you saw the sochi olympic games in 2014, always alongside putin, and he made it very clear that he was much in favor of the russians and how they hosted the olympics. the surprise came afterwards with unveiling the whole doping test brent: your investigation resulted in the russians being banned from the 2016 olympics in brazil, the winter olympics in 2018. does that mean the russian athletes whether they are clean or not will have it easier moving forward? hajo: no doubt that will happen. reinstatement of the anti-doping agency was a precondition for federations to get them -- the international olympic committee, paralympic committee. all of them said that once rusada is reinstated, we can go forward. that happens now, that means that russians without the national anthem -- that will not happen in the future. they have fully accepted back in the sports family. brent: will this make it easier for russia to once again host major sporting events? hajo: yes, that is correct, because rusada is reinstated. this cannot happe

decker joining us live from behind me that is on the turkey syria border so as the talks go on in sochi between putin's an earlier one talk us through erdogan is hoping to achieve in what he's taking to putin well he's trying to buy more time and why because turkey has a very difficult task of dealing with all the rebel groups inside some of them are cold so-called moderates but particularly the issue is when it comes to those cold terrorist organizations particularly high at the heat the group for me known as the mr front and accused of being linked to al qaeda so what they're doing is trying to do and we're just hearing actually that that meeting is over so perhaps we'll be hearing from those two men shortly because we are expecting a press conference but what he's trying to do what turkey is trying to do its intelligence services are trying to do is to get the group to disband to lay down their weapons this is difficult from what we understand perhaps an option would be to sort of have some parts of the group agree to it because there are splits within the group but it's very very di

in syria i think we can show that so now because the announcements made earlier in sochi by russia type and. construct a very different scenario for that area what they have talked about is setting up a fifteen to twenty kilometer demilitarized buffer zone essentially separate thing the syrian forces of the government from the rebel groups that have been kind of carolled into the. town and and countryside. what this will mean is that they essentially have to pull back the heavy weaponry except for and opposition groups will have to pull back from this buffer zone the buffer zone will be leased by russian and turkish troops it amounts i think to a fairly significance diplomatic victory for russia and one for some time now he's been stridently voicing his opposition to the looming offensive and russia although it was never particularly enthusiastic about the humanitarian disaster. you know a full bore offensive on it live would have entailed would have gone through it had it normally not be for turkey's opposition. let's get more on everything now from stephanie decker he's in antakya nea

but sochi and moscow were the focus. 2015 over allegations that it had covered—up state—sponsored doping. that was followed in 2016, by the 97 page mclaren report. it was commisisoned by wada but produced independently. it detailed a four—year, state—run "doping programme" involving more than 1000 russian athletes across 30 different sports during and after the sochi games. at its heart was the lab run by grigory rodchenkov. this graphic shows you the moscow lab in question, where positive drug samples were made to disappear. a secret service agent was employed as a plumber to help gain access to rooms containing supposedly tamper—proof bottles, meddle with their contents, and switch them for clean samples through a hole in the wall. well for rusada to be readmitted, russia was ordered to meet set criteria which included accepting the findings of the mclaren report, and granting access to the moscow laboratory. it hasn't done either. so wada came up with a novel idea. here 5 a letter revealed by the bbc written by wada s

richard mclaren revealed russia had adopted a state sponsored doping program in the lead up to the sochi games he concluded more than one thousand russian athletes across thirty sports benefited from the program very quickly we learned that there was a lot more going on than just what went out and so she and once we learned that and it was early days in the investigation yes we were more than surprised to her astonishment at the potential scope of what was going on. to have the ban on its testing the board theory lifted russia still needed to fulfill two conditions the first to accept the finding of mclaren's report the second to release historical data and samples to water for further investigation with all but the last condition fulfilled the executive committee of wada has chosen to place trust in rosado once again but in the process they may have tarnished their own credibility. well joining me tonight is the german journalist who first broke the story about russian doping it was hot usable to report on russian athletes doping which triggered an investigation leading to russia's anti

after a report found state—sponsored cheating during international sporting events, including the 2014 sochites and other nations opposed ending russia's exile. 0ur sports editor dan roan has more. this is one of the most controversial and divisive decisions ever reached by wada, in its 19—year history, defying an unprecedented outcry from athlete and figures in the anti—doping community. it's worth remembering that russia was punished three years ago for an extraordinary state—sponsored doping scandal. they were found to have sabotaged events like the london 2012 games. it spread across 30 sports, 1,000 athletes. but today's reinstatement of its anti—doping agency means that once again it can test its own athletes, bid for events, its track and field team will be back to full strength soon, racing under its national flag. now, earlier this week, the bbc revealed that wada senior figures had offered a compromise deal with the russians over two key criteria, and that enraged many athletes. now, wada insist that it still means this deal, that if russia doesn't provide key samples and data from
