A lot of work. Theres a lot. Of. The second video has also surfaced online reportedly showing the rebels posing with the dead body of the pilot and a warning hey you may find the following images upsetting the clip appears to show one. The militants taking a selfie next to the victim at this are also taking pictures and chanting jacqueline has more on the incident. Well the incident took place in the northwestern village of must around in the province and thats one of the last remaining rebel strongholds in the country now according to the Russian Defense ministry the pilot did manage to eject from the plane and parachuted down to the ground in an area thats actually controlled by the terrorist group. He was then subsequently killed in a fight with terrorists again thats coming from the Russian Ministry of defense they also added that its believed that a antiaircraft Missile System was actually used in the downing of the plane and very quickly after the attack took place videos and photos surfaced online most of them very graphic and disturbing showing rebels taking photos of the dead pilot and stomping on the debris of the crashed plane now. Of the group that has claimed responsibility of attack say that they are part of the moderate Opposition Free Syrian Army but its widely believed that they are in fact actually allied with the latest incarnation of they have in the past enjoyed support from washington and even received weapons from the u. S. At this point russia did react quite quickly and has already carried out a number of persuasion strikes in the area with the ministry reporting that over thirty militants were killed as a result. Friday still the release of the alleging the f. B. I. And Justice Department abused their powers to secure a warrant to spy on trumps Election Campaign putting the investigation into trumps links to russia in doubt which didnt go down well with the Mainstream Media put your watch that is north korea for you and why your Republican Party is so much like people need to start taking to the streets this is a dictator this is a Tipping Point for our democracy declassify this memo for fundamentally a political purpose. The memo outlines the warrant was used to surveillance of a former trump eight and it was granted using a highly controversial dossier allegedly funded by the Democratic Party and Clinton Foundation but the f. B. I. Is accused of not revealing the bias behind the document. The f. B. I. Extended the warrant on three separate occasions contradicting testimonies that the f. B. I. His former chief and Deputy Director and twenty seventeen have left many questioning whether the agency has become political. Takes a look at what this means for american politics if indeed the Obama Administration used the department of justice and the f. B. I. To spy on trump during the campaign this could be quite a scandal it would discredit the d. O. J. Of the f. B. I. As nonpartisan law enforcers and destroy the democrats now the democratic leadership doesnt want to be destroyed so heres a few of their last ditch efforts to keep their boat afloat. Now adam schiff from the democratic side of the House Intelligence Committee says the republicans edited the document to fit their political agenda he says hes preparing a memo of his own that will expose the misleading character of the document. As expressed during our initial review we have grave concerns about material emissions a fact that fundamentally the most accuracy. Discovered late tonight the chairman news made material changes to the memo he sent to the white house changes not approved by the committee the white house therefore reviewing the document the committee has not approved for release however some of these changes are aimed at the request of the democrats and the f. B. I. Themselves others included minor edits and grammatical fixes to. And it never hurts to throw russia into the mix is it possible that the republican chairman of the House Intel Committee has been compromised by the russians as a possible of the actual russian agents running the House Intel Committee on the republican side but i hope thats not the case that this whole big stir is over just for pieces of paper but those four pieces of paper contain Vital Information information with potentially enough voltage to light up washington d. C. For months if not years kaleb up and r. T. New york. Former cia analyst and whistleblower john kerry ak says this follows what the f. B. I. Has been doing for years this contains some troubling evidence of f. B. I. Malfeasance those of us who are critics of the f. B. I. Have been saying this for years this is how the f. B. I. Does business they do it to surreptitiously they do it by stabbing people in the back they do it by setting people up by entrapping them by tricking them and thats exactly what they did with the price of court they played the face of court judge by not telling them the source of this deal they plead that judge by not telling them that this was a partisan. Report and and they got their warrant they got there werent any way. The court of arbitration for sport overturned the lifetime bans of twenty eight russian athletes on thursday and reinstated the saatchi and then picks results they were part of the taping scandal dating back to twenty fourteen with russia accused of widespread Substance Abuse and have another athlete also had plans for me but will not compete at the Upcoming Games in south korea because of a tree just unanimously found that the evidence put forward by the hour you see in relation to this much or did not have the same weight in each individual case. This is why in twenty cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that an antidoping rule violation was committed its concerned. This does not mean that these twenty declared innocent but in their case due to insufficient evidence the abuse of the sanctions and old individual results achieved in such reinstituted team russia dog the judgment was swift and immediately became possible for much of the olympic world ever since the infamous report on doping in russia saw the light of day but its claims of a state sponsored conspiracy the pretext for the ban have been shaken to their very foundation in the last few days bombshell one. Twenty eight russian athletes make a comeback from a lifetime ban over the past few years the International Olympic committee unleashed to the ultimate punishment on them following a damning verdict they cheated the tests it seemed that their dreams careers and lifetime goals were annihilated in one stroke but last thursday the top sports court had a different opinion on that the ban was no more those stripped of their medals got them back the i. O. C. Was both red faced and furious its members see the ng with bitterness and resentment but all Things Considered the i. O. C. Had some trouble standing beside their initial ruling a lot of people asking hell the i. O. C. Got the brief so wrong that they were able to throw it out so quickly. Well lets lets lets you can look at the decision but lets lets see who will be competing here in the games coming up then we can have this conversation again. The embarrassment is understandable the court of appeals decision to reverse the ban was among other things based on the testimony of the very same people who convinced the i. O. C. To impose the sanctions in the first place the Mclaren Report didnt find any individual violations of doping rules of individual sports men because there was only a very limited time the team of mr mclaren had fifty seven day thing born showed to. The Russian Paralympic Team also had its very decided this week two years ago the doors of the summer games in real were slammed in their faces a blanket ban meant no one was welcome this february a team of almost eighty people will have a shot at the pyong chang golds as socalled neutral athletes not great but its something russians are regularly tested and they are amongst the most scrutinized after its in the world. Under the supervision of while we now have a greater confidence that the anti doping system in russia is no longer a compromise and corrupt and given the latest winning streak for russia those athletes who have cleared their names in all likelihood will up their game eager zone of r. T. It was an emotional day for the russian athletes involved you can see the reaction of one across country scared cleared of doping after the verdict was announced many more russian athletes were in high spirits as previously they believed that their dream careers had. More oil and so you know i found out about the decision during my training c. A. s decided to overturn my disqualification my ban i had only positive thoughts in my head about that ive been ready to ski for a long long time keeping up my training but i had a question right away what about the olympics are we able to dispute this and get an invitation requesting or i was waiting for the results of the appeal when i came back from practice its amazing news then my Skeleton Team started congratulating each other its such a relief were not guilty in the whole public will know that a lot of people thought we date only those close to us knew its not true. Or you say they are not guilty or you say they are guilty and they have ruled that there is not enough proof for a dope in your phones hence they are not guilty and this is very important also because it makes the maclaurin report to become not in bases which is enough to convict athletes and every seeing that was up to now was based on the Mclaren Report and if this is now not basis enough to convict that lets them i do not understand why also all the russian athletes could have been banned colic to flee without having any any prove of the hoping back in december the russian flag and National Anthem was banned by the i. O. C. From appearing at the south korean games and the athletes will compete as neutrals but one branding agency has designed an alternative uniform for russian fans. The so. So. So so. The b. B. C. Has been accused of bias in its brags that coverage with the majority of its guests had to have been pro the European Union thats according to several recent reports which have prompted anger in britains house of lords. Across our output as a whole we must be inclusive reflecting the breadth and diversity of opinion we must give due weight to the many and diverse areas of an argument. To leave has left us with a group of leaders who having lit the fire of all the while it breaks it is a historic mistake for us with it it breaks my heart i lie in bed at night worrying about the outcomes of backset once again im the soul reaver on a v. C. Panel. Frankly the p. P. C. Has become the supporter of a four organize ocean. For the European Union dever x. Its true mr t. That did the city recently that his job in brussels is move even more difficult if every time he makes a smaller faults that is probably on the mind for the b. B. C. Sure to order because you do a duty of impartiality. We discussed this issue with the director general of the institute of Economic Affairs which was behind one of the referendum reports on the b. B. C. But its true that we are no longer in a referendum period and it is true as the b. B. C. Said in the statement they have furnished you with that its no longer a binary choice but the problem is this although there are a wide range of choices really those range of options are subsets of the remain camp and the leave camp i think its pretty poor that a public broadcaster a skewed that gets some panelists so dramatically in this direction on the top political issue of the times. In general in britain a stagnation figures famous figures and influential people have tended to be in favor of e. U. Membership its more the ordinary man or woman who rebelled against the political stab recently tends to believe side seems to be the balancing for peoples views on bricks it and making sure you have a fair share of voice from both ends and all ends of the argument should be a very very high priority indeed. I think the politicians on the leave side of the argument those who are in favor of pricks it are beginning to lose their patience with the b. B. C. But i would say that the b. B. C. Now should be concerned but there are politicians who are seriously raising in the British Parliament in the house of lords genuine concern about whether the baby so you really can be considered a neutral broadcaster one that doesnt just show a diversity of views but a proper balance.

People all around the city make commitments to just be peaceful and not be violent for three days and to celebrate life and do life affirming events so there are events all over the city we distort what do we care if we keep it. A week in no homicides it all comes as baltimore has been rocked by one of americas Biggest Police corruption scandals the Gun Trace Task force was made up of plainclothes officers and was supposed to be tackling the citys spiraling murder rate however it seems they have actually been adding to the levels of crime the unit was dissolved in march last year and its officers arrested theyre facing various charges including fraud Drug Trafficking and planting false evidence six out of eight members of the group have pleaded guilty to charges of organized crime samir khan has been following the story.

Is still seen regret for what happened i really dont have any common meanwhile officers cases continue to be dismissed with hundreds under review and most of them involve incidents of officer switching off their body cameras to plant drugs or guns and then reenact seizing the evidence they had already planted.

And them people have choices if you dont like them then dont buy them getting a little tired of saying you cant make this stuff up and in case youve missed it probably can be found in all of our social media platforms shes been looking at why anything and everything can be offensive and how you can fit into that trend. In case you missed it one of the great things about life in twenty eighth seed is that youre free to be offended by anything. Its quite confusing recently people have been offended by history literature being a man being a woman meat proimmigration anti immigration the list is endless because its actually hard to tell is our guide to being offended in the modern world if im sure as a human youre offended twitter will always let you know what youre offended about if only one person out of one hundred is offended you need to pretend that you are offended to go to signaling will cover you every time there is no time limit shakespeare was writing four hundred years ago and still some of the one dickens that Cambridge University had to be warned about the distressing cvs even friends is too much for some millennial zeal to choose an Italian American a guy with a transvestite dad who missed when and even throwing in a lesbian couple wasnt diverse enough apparently not to use always offensive Nineteenth Century imperialist sessile roads students at Oxford University he wanted his small barely noticeable start to go on why because he was bad one hundred and fifty years ago who wasnt.

A bite from many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. The ball isnt only about what happens on the pitch for the final school its about the passion from the fans its the age of the super money just billionaire owners and spending children twenty million and one player. Its an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great to one more chance with. The base this minute. Oh no appetite i mean for conflict is very very low these days and publics are much more eager to see economic improvement than they are to actually get into a fight with a neighbor or or with other powers in the world. That image was quite controversial some of the people some people sore as irresponsible some people sort of dangerous threatening whereas other people including you store as a symbol of something very different what was it. Powerful. Protecting. That was for freedom. That the people who criticize you want to base. A right wing lunatic. Eighteen years ago i traveled across the United States exploring americas deadly love affair with the gun i witnessed the grim results of these weapons in hospital Emergency Rooms morgues in the confused to mass of mass shooting sprees after each new massacre the newspaper headlines were always the side why did it happen he. Says my book was published in the year two thousand more than home if a million americans have been killed by firearms in the us. Five hundred twenty seven thousand people dead and many more injured i decided to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who id met and photographed those years ago to understand why despite this death toll there is such fierce resistance to even my.

My neighbors. Zand. Relaxing. The thought that some people would want to take our guns away to me is so ludicrous because the bad guys thugs the murderous the ripest are always going to have guns and are you would be doing would be take them away from the good guys from the law abiding citizens people in this country huddle in their houses and throw their dead belts but i was not succumb to this gown that is out there.
