Im sumi so much going to welcome to the show the border between ireland and the United Kingdom has emerged as the main stumbling block and. Written negotiations to leave the European Union hopes of a deal on monday were dashed at the last moment when the Democratic Unionist Party raise objections Prime Minister theresa may could not ignore the party because it is propping up her fragile government well get some analysis from our correspondent in a moment but first a look at how the deal unraveled. The handshake so maybe a little premature the u. N. Britain say they close to solving one of brics its thorniest problems the status of the irish border but despite reports a deal had been reached it failed to materialize despite our best efforts and to significant progress really on the way to have made over the past days on the street main move towards issues it was not possible to reach a complete agreement today but on a couple of issues some differences do remain which require further negotiation and consultation and those will continue but we will reconvene before the end of the week and i am also confident that we will conclude this positively. The border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland as part of the u. K. Northern ireland will also leave the e. U. But the republic of violent will stay a member the theory is the u. K. Will replace these invisible border with customs checkpoints to keep the border free flowing and one possible solution would be to allow Northern Ireland to stay in the u. S Customs Union after the u. K. Laves but thats something Northern Irelands Largest Party has rejected we are being very clear that Northern Ireland must meet the European Union on the same terms as the rest of the United Kingdom and we will not accept any form of regulatory divergence which separates Northern Ireland economically or politically from the rest of the u. K. The republic of violence says it believes the deal on the border issue had been agreed. The irish negotiating team received confirmation from the British Government and the buying a task force that the United Kingdom agreed to text on the border that met our concerns i am surprised and disappointed that the British Government now appears not to be in a position to conclude what was agreed to earlier today. Next week e. U. Leaders will meet to decide if enough progress on brics it has been made britain is under huge pressure to make sure the consensus is yes. Its in brussels he has been following negotiations joins us for more hikari teresa mayes they were very optimistic when they went into their talks yesterday but when they came out they werent so happy what happened so many throughout the week and diplomats worked very hard very intensely on reaching a deal and everybody in brussels heard from all sorts of sources that that deal was suddenly within reach you know the three pillars of the first face as Citizen Rights we saw a substantial progress within the talks already now on the bracks a bill we heard that there were concessions from the u. K. There was movement here ever since the foreign speech of to resign may and then finally the biggest hurdle Northern Ireland it appeared they had been some Real Progress here the irish Prime Minister was getting ready to announce that there was positive news for island and that could only mean that theyve they had a breakthrough in that field but then he postponed be postponed again and finally it didnt happen so there is this question of the irish border then what is holding up this deal at this point. You know you cant help but say it must it must be that point i mean the reason may i said there were two points where the needs to be further a negotiation and consultation and i think she just got theyre going to go the wrong way round it should have been consultation and negotiation because from the european side of things are very much clear the e. U. Wants a deal and they want a deal now time is running out and it seems very much seen that she had this phone call with Eileen Foster the leader of the d u. P. S. So the unionists in that in Northern Ireland who are very keen to stay as close to the u. K. As possible who do not accept that there will be a different different a regulatory. Set for Northern Ireland than for the rest of the u. K. So are in foster made very clear she wants to leave on the same terms and now it cant be news for to reason may that that is the case and one or two it would have thought that she consulted her before we were close to that agreement so it looks very much like theres a need to talk inside the British Government once again so kerry if Northern Ireland were to be treated differently lets say they stayed in the Customs Union what i mean for london or for scotland because these are both regions that want to stay in a Common Market as well. Mostly the moment it came out that there is a deal that would allow regulatory alignment for Northern Ireland you saw nicholas storage and from scotland tweeting we would like to see the same special conditions for scotland then that was followed by london mayor study come who said all london would also like to see special conditions and finally we even had wales coming in who as a region didnt vote to remain like the other regions scotland london and Northern Ireland so if seriously when you look back in history here it is David Camerons fault that he didnt make sure when setting up that referendum that the different parts of the United Kingdom also would have to gain a majority because that would have spared us the situation where now different parts of the u. K. Also want special treatment and teresa mayes in a mass and there just briefly if you can what happens next well. Theres on the agenda that of European Commission made clear there will be another point this week went to recently returns and times running out but we can still make an agreement before that crucial summit next week when we have to know whether the u. K. Has made concessions so we can move on to the second phase and that crew this group crucial trade talks with the United Kingdom our correspondent garrick matters reporting for us from brussels thank you care and we have monica jones from our business desk with us now this border issue monica could have a huge impact on Northern Ireland economy and that of course as we know is pretty much dependent on its agriculture sumi in particular dairy farming is britain is no longer a member of the e. U. It is no longer automatically part of the customs arrangement and that of course means that ireland and britain might have to reintroduce customs controls along the border and that is a huge worry for Northern Ireland dairy farmers. Milk is Northern Irelands most important agricultural product but uncertainty over what will happen when britain leaves the European Union has left many farmers on edge especially those who currently trade with and travel freely to the republic of ireland which is staying in the e. U. Because of the way the whole system set up there will be tariffs there traded on the european quality standards at the minute or standards one change will be as high as ever they are but. Those are present barriers for creating this product in the future and the fact that we dont know is the difficult part in addition Agricultural Products from Northern Ireland are heavily subsidized it remains to be seen if the support will continue after breakfast. A Major Industrial sector depends on. The luck Patrick Company purchases and processes six hundred million liters of milk from farmers on both sides of the border annually the supply chain is going to be massively disruptors there is going to be farmers who have no place to send their milk now because their processing unit is on the other side of the border and the processor cannot bring that cross the border because hes going to have to pay a price. In excess of fifty to seventy percent like patrick exports milk powder worldwide as well as roll milk to a baby Food Producer in the republic of ireland their Main Customer is china which insists on the e. U. Quality label brecks it may challenge these relationships. What is absent here is a clear vision for britain and for Northern Ireland in a post break that scenario can somebody somewhere stand up and tell me and tell all of the members of this society what better situation is going to prevail in. The post breaks the scenario that currently prevails the face of Northern Irelands Agriculture Sector life in the balance as farmers wait to see if a deal on the border question can be reached. Right now nicholas are there real need for clarity what if this cant be solved well i dont know for me i mean thing is just it doesnt stop to amaze me that critics of braggs it before the referendum kept pointing at the irish border question as being the main problem to solve and here we are and i can tell you that breaks of negotiation negotiators theyre looking currently at more than one hundred forty areas of north south connections business connections not just dairy and agriculture theyre single electricity market Environmental Protection all issues that need to be solved if there was to be a border its also estimated that at least thirty thousand people cross the border every day for work and we must remember that freedom of movement does not just affect goods like those Dairy Products but of course also people so all of that would be out of the window looked up that there is maybe one solution the United Kingdom could simply declare the border open on a unilateral basis that means on the w. T. Old rule the World Trade Organization but that would mean that the United Kingdom would have to do that for the rest of the world and i dont think that that is in the u. K. Is interest either so no i dont see a solution right now to me very complex issue there are managers from a business that youll be back with some more business headlines and indeed a little bit of time and later we will be speaking to a political blogger and a break that water to get his take on where negotiations go from here for now though lets move on to some other news in the u. S. The Supreme Court has allowed President Trumps travel ban on six muslim majority nations to go into full force the courts decision lifts injunctions issued by lower courts it prevents most travelers.

As well as some from north korea and venezuela it is the latest shot in a year long legal battle opponents call the policy racist the trumpet ministrations says it is crucial to protect the u. S. From islamist terror. Well despite the u. S. Supreme courts decision the ban could still be overturned washington correspondent karl in a few more has more well this is the third version of the travel ban that donald trump first sought to implement after taking office in general we have to point out that executive orders like the travel ban are subject to traditional review a court with judicial review power may invalidate laws and decisions that are uncomfortable with an executive decision for being a lawful or for violating the terms of a written constitution now regarding this travel ban that was signed by President Donald Trump as an executive order we have of course you can say that or that sale to San Francisco based lower court and the lower court in richmond will be holding arguments on the legality of the ban this week both courts are dealing with this issue in a quick bases and the Supreme Court noted is it expects those skirts to reach this issue and very soon this would allow the Supreme Court to hear and to decide about the travel ban by the end of june did abuse colleen a few more reporting there from washington now to some other stories making news around the world President Trump has announced the largest rollback of public Land Protection in the countrys history he plans to slash the size of two protected areas in the state of utah tribal and environmental groups turned out in washington to oppose the decision they have begun filing legal challenges.

Well turkey is a free market economy and president trichet type add a one assured business is that he wants to keep it that way his comments come at a time when investors into alarmed by rapidly rising inflation which has hit levels not seen in fifteen years now while good for exports Domestic Companies are trying to pocket the money overseas a practice the government frowns upon. Food prices in turkey are especially high but transportation costs have also soared this spike is especially hard on consumers but the rising costs are taking their toll on businesses too. The inflation rate has been on a rapid rise over the past year its jumped to thirteen percent a level not seen for nearly fifteen years rising inflation is also putting pressure on turkeys currency for months now the lira has been losing value this is good news for turkish export hers the weaker currency makes their products cheaper abroad but this trend is worrying to Domestic Companies who are trying to ship their money abroad to avoid depreciation the turkish government doesnt like the practice but so far its been reluctant to go as far as banning such capital outflows. Now for more on the state of the turkish economy im joined by Gareth Jenkins an expert on turkey from the institute for security and Development Policy in istanbul good to have you with us and i understand that youve lived in turkey since the one nine hundred eighty so youve witnessed Many Political up and downs how would you assess the current Economic Situation its not looking particularly good its not as bad as weve had it in the past we always hear during a major crisis ninety four collapse of the currency in two thousand and one i dont think we expect anything like that but in the medium term at least were not expecting the economies to be going very well and i you mentioned the nation is. Now the. Last value color place in the underlying figures its also very much out. So were expecting them not to be very much growth in the economy and of course we have a lot of political events uncertainty as well and the state of emergency for eighteen months which is not good thats how the turkish president spoke out now because obviously anchor is worried about capital flight but this some of the Turkish Statistical Office at least released upbeat data given the economy of techie good mox how does all that fit together certainly with sky high inflation. I wish i knew the turks that the institute says to clean future change the way it calculates g. D. P. In december last year some of the changes were quite clearly quite transparent such as moving that the base year other things we still dont understand and when you look at some of the components of the citys tickle components that the tax that uses for the headline figure g. D. P. Figures dont dont make sense doesnt mean that turkey is in a crisis talks that its eg everything is going well but there is a mismatch there so its very difficult to understand and certainly if you talk to people in business their view of the economy at the moment is nowhere near as well as it is the official view but i mean bit being upbeat about something optimistic is one thing being realistic is another turkey is certainly very much dependent on Foreign Direct Investment and we all know that thats decreased since last years cool does have a solution for that but no it doesnt i mean one of the thirst if you talk to foreign and domestic businesses is they say that the state of emergency has to be lifted having turkish actually translated strand status extraordinary situation and businesses say we need an ordinary situation in order to go to invest now on this and this is a looking very much a political instability the high politicize ation of the little system course anybody who comes into turkey wants to be sure that their man is going to be safe and for that you need a functioning judicial system which unfortunately turkey doesnt have them now of course a lot of that is down to the current president but everyone is also the one that many called the father of the economic boom that weve seen years ago that put turkey on the map if you like do you see that he has any plans certainly for right now to keep inflation in check and hopefully put the economy back on track. When i was questioning this about him being called the father of this economic boom my midwife called the fact that because when we had to collapse in two thousand and one the i. M. F. Put together a rescue package stabilization package which came out which was implemented before adarand took power and look after two thousand and two what he did well initially was just to continue to follow those prescriptions from the i. M. F. When he began to get more power and basically began to make decisions himself rather than follow descriptions we saw that things began to go wrong one of the problems with that one he has a fundamental misunderstanding of how your Quality Works i mean its obviously he says higher Interest Rates cause inflation which most people think its the other way around so the mobility is very focused on being Interest Rates but not addressing the factors which mean those which are making those Interest Rates high in the first place ok so so well have to keep an eye on turkey and certainly how its economy develops jenkins thank you so much for your insights thank you very much.

Where i come from the news is being hijacked journalism itself has become a scripted reality show its not just good versus evil us versus them black and white. In countries like russia china turkey people are told its that simple and if youre a journalist there and you try to get beyond that you are facing scare tactics intimidation. And i wonder is that where were headed as well.

Starting december ninth d. W. Welcome back youre watching news our top story the Democratic Unionist Party has dashed hopes of progress on braggs the talks between britain and the European Union of the parties propping up tourism a fragile government and objects of proposals for the border between ireland and the United Kingdom. Lets bring in john worth now hes a political blogger whos written extensively about brags that hi john thanks for being with us this morning when it almost seemed like the e. U. And the u. K. Were ready to strike a deal yesterday didnt happen what do you think happened essentially to reason may have been talking to the European Union looked like the deal was preprepared if it was ready to resume was at lunch with Commission President ial and then a telephone call came in from the Democratic Unionist Party and they said were not playing along with this deal the question is why they objected in this way at the last minute but of course her government depends upon the support of that policy and so therefore she cant really move forward without the support of the democrats but this party made its position on this border a question of clear before these negotiations started so couldnt this have been addressed earlier. Well the question is is it to reason they have to square a circle that you cant really square essentially she wants to essentially keep the border open in ireland while at the same time taking your the u. K. Out of the European Union with a socalled heartbreaks if i taking the u. K. Out of the Single Market in the Customs Union now those two things ultimately contradict and yesterday what we saw is how that border issue and what reason may want to do more generally embrace it have those two things contradict with each other and so thats the reason why it was so complicated yesterday in the end the British Government has come up against hard reality yesterday and in the end the difficult part of yesterday was the Democrats Union is faulty it was in decline the European Union what is the d u p looking to extract here is a concession because surely both sides benefit from not having a hard border right that we dont really know what the democrats units are trying to seek are they seeking Something Else are they seeking some kind of better financial arrangement Something Like that or is it simply due to history that theyre playing theyre playing hard here anything that it looks like dublin wants the unionists want the opposite in a certain way so we dont know precisely the reason why the Democrats Unionists played it this way there are all rumors in westminster that actually the democrats yunis were kind of pushed forward by the hard core brought to tears within the conservative party and were pushed that way by some of the were going to break that radicals within the conservatives so its very very hard to know the moment one of the democratic unions played it so hard yesterday and indeed chose this kind of last minute way of raising their objections because in the end we have a summit coming up in just just less than a fortnight and thats the time when it has to move forward to move for the next stage negotiations how much are domestic politics in the u. K. Really steering these brands a tux. Domestic politics in the sense of domestic Party Politics definitely. Government is very very weak it is devalued did internally and indeed her majority is wafer thin relies on the support of the democratic unionist parties and those Party Political games in the house of commons are driving what she can do whatever she can give to the European Union side the danger is that on the westminster side she ends up in danger of losing her majority so her government may collapse if she gets it wrong a very tricky position for theresa may john wirth with us here in studio thank you very much for the insight. Well now to germany which could be edging closer to getting a new government thats after social democrat leaders said they were willing to enter exploratory talks with the conservatives there is one condition though the partys rank and file will have to give their blessing later this week the social democrats h. Q. On monday Party Leaders approved preliminary Coalition Talks with macas conservatives if members give the go ahead at a congress this week. If Party Members approve i will arrange an appointment for talks with mr necker and must as a whole. But well discuss our proposal and then see if it makes sense to continue the talks. The Party Congress will also sign off on the s. P. D. As key demands. Votes probably but. I think were all clear that we need to put forward our key points in the negotiations so we dont end up with a lazy compromise. Kind of. The s. P. D. As Parliamentary Party group also deliberated on the plans in the bundestag on monday they want to go into the talks with an open mind i envision its important for all of us that we discussed different options with the conservatives many Party Members would prefer a minority government so well need to figure out exactly what options are available to us youre doing your piece and if Coalition Talks lead to an agreement grassroot members of the s. P. D. Will have the final say on whether to proceed and if so how well lets put that question to our Political Correspondent michelle oku there she joins us now what are the chances of this Coalition Government happening. Well i wouldnt really want to put Percentage Points on that but certainly a higher percentage here then we heard when those so called to my could talk so much more complicated arrangement failed and the social democrats led by martin came out saying they would absolutely rule out a grand coalition on the conservative c. D. U. Side of town so merkels party you no longer really hear that much talk about if its more about how its going to happen and the social democrats of course have to play it very hard to get indeed. First of all martin shorts needs to play very hard to get particular when facing his party at this Party Conference coming up on thursday and then we might see negotiations that will be very tough on substance and im sure very tough on drama as well because the social democrats would face a grassroots vote where there really is much of a split talking about it was martin short strategic mistake to rule out a grand coalition and at the same time there really isnt an appetite to once again go into government with chancellor merkel and not really get the credit for own political successes that is the feeling amongst the s. P. D. You know michel you said it already right after the election Martin Schultz ruled out a grand coalition now hes had to backtrack how much has that weakened his position in the party. It has weakened his position you already see Parliamentary Party differently analysis taking much more of a lead so he is definitely weakened at the same time hes still highly popular in his party and he could use that clout that he has that credibility to actually then negotiate a grand Coalition Deal and then make it more appetizing for the grassroots in the end but martin salts no longer is the strong man no longer is the big hope for reform among the social democrats but for the time being he looks fairly safe particularly in this very confusing situation where we really dont know what lies in those weeks and months ahead in any case if those talks start we cant really expect to see anything to get moving before january so a new government here in germany is still quite a while away michel if the s. P. D. Decides against entering a grand Coalition Just briefly if you can what are chancellor merkels options then. Well very briefly a minority government led by merkel she already said she really doesnt want that to happen that means she might well not want not actually do it in the end first election called by the president right you know these michel like of now reporting for us thank you michel and now in slovakia around two percent of the population are roma many are poor and unemployed and live on the outskirts of villages in simple cottage settlements the mayor of one village called keyholes has founded the Community Business for roma who otherwise have no chance in the open labor market it is making a real difference in their lives there is now modest prosperity and the village is considered a model for successful integration. Hes a man who tackles problems vladimir ski has made big changes in his village of speed off and then everybody benefits the approximately three hundred members of the Roma Community out of the total population of fifteen hundred. But he got those who were the most at the after being elected mayor i quickly saw that we had to actively deal with the run issue in the village it was obvious that something had to change and we had to bring the roma into an orderly lifestyle you know with the possibility of getting a job. So we found the company of the roma who would otherwise never have had a chance on the job market the more we think about it every single roma was given the opportunity to work in a Community Business and show what theyre capable of. At the beginning they were hesitant but over time more and more applied and took on work. The roman then quickly understood that it was to their benefit to have a job. And that other positive things came along with it thats normally how things work. When they see that the neighbor is doing better than they also want to give it a try. First came the job then came the money and with that money new homes could be built yvonne cut along with his wife and four children recently moved into their new home it has gas heating and Running Water they didnt have that before. We used to carry water into the house and now all the apartments have their own water supply you no longer have to go out in minus twenty degree weather to fetch it thats a good thing children are learning. Its a far cry from how the runway used to live here and still do in slovakia children shows his children internet videos to teach them. My children were totally shocked by this just one example. Other rather live in such. A way his wife is also happy about their Better Living standards. Martina also works for the community. If you have work you feel better you can do something you can build something for the children things have also changed for the roma children thanks to the joint initiative of the mayor in the School Principal instead of going to a special school i now attend the Elementary School together with other local children theres no longer any separation. There will be more so much both groups the roma and the other children in the village must feel that theyre. Equally welcome here after two or three years that were making good progress. The principal says that other communities are often hampered by a lack of communication between those responsible hearing its different he says parents teaches children and the men work closely together. But our goal is to have a single citizenry here with skin color and ethnicity are no longer a matter of a modern Inclusive Society or. How roma live elsewhere in the country can be seen in the neighboring village of dotted solved say around one third of its two thousand two hundred inhabitants aroma they live on the outskirts of the village in huts most have no job they say they would never be given a chance to work they feel marginalized they met now wants to change that following the example set by speak of but his concept hasnt taken off yet. We already see it in the simplest activities such as leaf picking on street sweeping and that these people just dont want to work that they have problems simply getting out of bed in the morning they have problems with any kind of responsibility thats the point we are right now and we need to break out of this. Argument that something vladimir led to ski says hes already managed with a lot of persistence he says he knows of no place in slovakia were a politician has significantly contributed to improving the situation of the island that a lot of Self Initiative is needed. And i thought we cant just leave the weakest behind we have to stick together. And that wont happen if we ignore part of society then feel that they are not treated the same. We just have to give the runner a chance. To benefit because if they hope he. Shows how roma in slovakia can be brought in from the margins of society how they can live a life without poverty with a future. Like yvonne cut childre and his family. Now the Winter Olympics start in just over two months time and today we could see a decision on whether russia takes part or not the International Olympic committee has already handed down lifetime bans to dozens of russian athletes for links to massive state sponsored doping now its executive board is needing to decide whether to throw the entire team out of the two thousand and eighteen winter games altogether. The twenty fourteen Winter Olympics in sochi were a chance for russia and its president Vladimir Putin to burnish their reputation the hosts were the games most successful nation winning thirty three medals in all but since then a dark shadow has been cast over their success by none other than gregory chen cough the former chief of russias anti doping of oratory he claimed the russian athletes were systematically doped samples which would have tested positive for clean ones with the help of the Russian Secret Service because of his admissions which uncovered losses post and fled to the united states. The i. O. C. Reacted thus far only. The i. O. C. Will react with ciro tolerance in order to protect the cleanout fleets whoever is involved in this within the reach of the i. O. C. Will be sanctioned the World Antidoping Agency has been tougher wada commissioner Richard Mclaren to investigate the claims in his report the canadian lawyer accused the russians of widespread state sponsored doping one and demanded they be sanctioned the prove mclaren presented in his report was not enough for buck and the i. O. C. They set up two commissions of their own to reexamine the allegations the i. O. C. Panel led by dennis also the switzerland has banned twenty five russian athletes over the last few weeks including a limb pick gold winning crosscountry skier alexander let go of. He and others plan to appeal the decision at the International Court of arbitration for sport. What will tuesdays meeting bring more individual bans that would allow russia to take part as a team in. Some of suggested the russia can compete without their National Anthem and flak how would the russians react to that plenty of questions for the i. O. C. To answer as soon as possible. More on the story now with the unexplained from database forts with us in studio hi yannick how likely do you think it is that the i. O. C. Could issue a blanket ban for all russians from competing in this upcoming Winter Olympics ill be highly surprised if there isnt a ban for wash for russia at the winter games a blanket ban perhaps not the less likely i think affiliates that are shown to be clean should be allowed to compete at the winter ground games but under a neutral flag but the usa does have to come down hard there is a manton of evidence that suggests this state sponsored doping program. Has accepted that the mclaren reports findings are true they found that main whistleblower gregory rich uncle of was telling the truth in his allegations twenty five athletes from the social games have been banned after tests now this was after it was found that steroid riddled. Urine samples were replaced with clean samples now this is just crazy this is insane and the rest of the world is just wondering why has it taken this long for the usa to take action on top of this Russias Deputy deputy Prime Minister. Has been implicated in in the whole saga he was the sports minister at the time and they just appears to be no remorse from russia theres no theres no admission of guilt theres no i guess clear sign that they want to clean up this mess and so there is only one option and that is to ban russia but i think a black and then shouldnt be the case i think as i said the clean russian athletes should be allowed to compete under a neutral flag even if russia does get to compete as a nation in these upcoming olympics how does this affect their standing i mean i think their reputation is already tanishq but if they go on punished i think the world will be outraged it will show that this fight against doping in sport is somewhat of a farce i mean russia if they are not banned from the olympics the winter games sorry they will not have any need to go. There will be no need to overhaul the system theyll be no need for them to clean up this mess and while i think russias reputation is chock tarnished regardless i think the main issue is the i. O. C. And the Olympic Legacy if russia were on bans what is the point of watching the olympics what is the point i mean of any sport i mean if you can get away with doping in the olympics what about all the other little sports in the world i mean its just it would be baffling and we do have some voices weigh in on that question lets see whats being said. The twenty eight thousand russian olympic teams uniforms on parade russian athletes are looking forward to the event in south korea theyve trained all summer long and dont want anything to stand in their way of victory. Because the right to be taking part in the olympics is very important for me so. Its important for all athletes. We only have the chance to promote our sports and represent our country every four years i support russia yes im a patriot who says that but there were many russian athletes feel that theyre being persecuted by the i. O. C. Including u. S. Born snowboarder vic wild he was on the russian team during the sochi olympics and won the gold medal judging by his response hes tired of the subject of doping. I never heard of that its crazy i never heard of doping in sochi what is that anyways what is no. Pressure is growing on the i. O. C. To ban not just individual athletes but the entire russian team from the games especially since a recent New York Times report implicated brushes former minister of sport vitaly hes alleged to have been involved in a state run doping skin but denies this and. A former olympic champion and member of the Russian Parliament agrees. With the. State run doping scheme cannot exist this would have been publicized the state has no right to spend money on doping medications to give to athletes what he has though its partly in the with. Is on the russian team again and she will probably win a medal again this. Is there were there was all i can do now is keep training and take care of my own business he resumes. If the i. O. C. Were to ban russias athletes would. Also be liable even if she says she has never doped. You know yanick the specter of doping is really clouded the last several what can the i. O. C. Do better here the first point of call is to ban russia for the winter games thats clear they passed the buck last year when they failed to ban russia from the rio olympics and instead they deferred the decision to the individual sporting federations individual athletes were banned but that was a mistake and now they have a chance to rectify the specific but thats just the starting point really the i. O. C. Have to start all over again in the fight against doping in sport and in the olympics on the native reevaluate how the World Antidoping Agency works how it is run they need to listen it outside voices and bring them in they need to analyze what went wrong and how they can develop a plan to move forward in the future they need to reevaluate the testings theres a lot of work to do but essentially this is essential if theyre serious about fighting to i think right now expect from v.
