East have normal blood it means i dont think this is clean competitions we will see there are skiers doping also in these competitions. Weve asked the International Olympic committee whether it will investigate such that began the geishas was still awaiting that reply however a sports lawyer that we spoke to told us its worrying the i. O. C. Hasnt publicly commented yet on the issue but its interesting as you heard the outcry in the media about these allegations you havent seen any action. As it currently stands i dont see there being an investigation which you know is in the light of everything weve discovered with regards to the russian doping allegations is troubling everybody where there is a problem should be investigated we need to understand doping is in fact a global problem is raised by this documentary we need to understand that doping as happened in occurs across the world and that this is not an incident slated to russia this is a global problem its a continuing problem and its something we need to address seriously right now even the greatest antidoping experts in the west as a lot of cannot currently detect doping in athletes thats a problem. Was found no evidence that russia somehow had to fit in the u. K. s briggss referendum thats according to the companys global head of Public Policy hes testified in front of a u. K. House of commons committee. We looked at all advertisements with any connection to russia and we found no evidence of our services being used to interfere in the process referendum but we dont look in the survey for the pay for advertising the election but actually the operation of channels or the films which are which can be linked back to russia nations who have a political purpose a message through the referendum would you be able to do that for us we are happy to cooperate with an investigation so that says yes yes despite these are endless attempts to accuse russia of brets that meddling in this pressure on Online Platforms to expose any shady business that russia might have been up to yet another revelation this time from you tube that nothing of sort had happened this indeed at yet another session of the u. K. Parliamentary committee inquiring into feek news who this time travel to washington to ask their questions but it has to be said that despite all of their hard work this inquiry has produced no results of substance so far if you remember previously this committee seems to have been sort of left hanging by twitter we found that one percent of the accounts in the data set were registered in russia could you confirm how many other accounts were being controlled from agencies in russia even if they were not registered there we do not have sufficiently strong evidence to enable us to conclusively linked them with russia the failure to obtain straight answers is simply increasing concerns about these issues rather than reassuring people well this as google also said they found no evidence of russian meddling in the brics that referendum as well as of course facebook following their investigation having said that they found that russia spent seventy three p. On any kind of post related to brocks it. And regarding Campaign Financing a u. K. Campaign to reverse the briggss vote has received a hefty boost from american billionaire george soros best for britain has confirmed he donated almost half a Million Pounds to his Foundation George soros foundations have along with a number of other major donors also made significant contributions to our work indeed through his foundations he has contributed four hundred thousand pounds hes funding is one among many sources. Bus for britain is a pro aid you lobbying Group Pushing for a second brags referendum i want the key ideas is quote lead not leave the e. U. Campaign hopes to influence the opinion of the public and politicians on the issue downing street is was quick to react on this matter to reserve a spokesperson insisted there would be no second referendum the country she says has already voted to leave the European UnionBorough Council of the basin so paul miller told us that the break that process is a matter for the government in the e. U. Only this is a british issue its an issue for the british people anybody from the outside stay outside this is something for us to determine both through the cracks at vote and then through the progression discussions and negotiations that were conducting with a few parties and most of the British Government and the e. U. If you want to oppose it well what we call freedom of speech but to have external influence in terms of money from america or influence from the french that strikes me as being stuck in your nose where it shouldnt be. U. S. Lawmakers threaten to cut the World Health Organizations funding after it found a top u. S. Made weed killer probably causes cancer details after the break. Im here at muddy field stadium in edinburgh the home on the hop of Scottish Rugby im here to interview scotland legend. A man who fought many great battles behind me now hes engaged in the greatest battle of all his struggle against motor neuron disease. But hope to do something to. Put themselves on the line. They get accepted or rejected. So if you want to present. Something i want to. Watch it right. This is what. People are. Interested in always. Welcome back republican lawmakers in the United States are threatening to cut funding to the World Health OrganizationsCouncil Research program this is after the International Agency for research on councils said that americas most widely used weed killer by the agribusiness John Monsanto probably causes cancer i arched unsubstantiated claims i are your responsible handling of data why arc should receive any government funding in the future theyre disputing the organizations findings regarding its leading herbicide called round up and back in twenty fifteen the International Agency for research on cancer concluded that roundups active ingredient life estate could be carcinogenic to humans now roundup is made by months santo and its the worlds most widely used weed killer since the seventys its been sprayed on a corn soybeans a cotton and other crops and now republicans believe that the study was flawed and relied on cherry pick science accusing the agency of lack of transparency and anti industry bias they say that its quite a status designated as carcinogenic it will require manufacturers and retailers to warn workers and consumers and plus itll increase costs and instill fear in the public some have disagreed with republicans it is important that we review the methods and tactics that industry has used to influence this administration and attack independent. Scientific organizations like the World Health OrganizationsInternational Agency for research on cancer or i would like to say that fundamentally this hearing is about the ability of a Public Health agency to call a carcinogen a carcinogen even if that carcinogen makes a huge amount of money for powerful corporations according to the center for responsive politics monsanto lobbied more than four point three Million Dollars in twenty seven team the Environmental Protection agency which is not an International Organization concluded that the same ingredient does not cause cancer and i are says that theyve been under attack ever since they published their conclusions against life a state at the same time monsanto has been pushing against these findings through several different means and the company is seen as quite controversial not only in the u. S. But all over the world president micron promised in november that would be banned within three years danetta clean modified crops have been banned in over thirty five Different Countries but not banned in the u. S. International organizations have concluded that like this it could be cancerous so these lawmakers intentions are quite unclear. The body of military pilot. Has been returned to his hometown in western russia and i just died fighting in syria his plane was shot down by militants. The funeral for a major roman filipe of who died tragically fighting in syria takes place here in his hometown of earlier we saw hundreds of people attending the Memorial Ceremony as family members friends his colleagues people who didnt know him all came to pay their last respects and in the same crowd say here at this cemetery women as to speak to some people who share it with us their memories of mine. And i just wanted to pay my respects to such a strong brave man. Was my close friend he was kind and loved life every minute he was ready to help to support. There are a few such people who remember him forever. One man was a very kind very fair person always smiled a lot not everyone can do what he did you should have a special understanding off on or and do to just like he did the palace plane was shot down on saturday and the northwestern part of syria which is still controlled by the latest incarnation of the terrorist group oh no sra roman tried to stay in the air as long as he could he then managed to eject from the airplane only to find himself so rounded by terrorist the pilots of the plane supporting role months shared the details of their last communications his voice remained calm when i want him there on the you gets out of the maneuver yes i see them was the commanders reply and then he said so evenly as if it was something ordinary and unimportant i got hit hard the right is on fire moving south the lift slowing down too and about twenty seconds later here i did Google Search and rescue then he ordered me to gain altitude of course i didnt do it to leave my command is the last thing i would do i always tried to have his back during flights and now i have to do it on the ground while he was fighting i stood there and made several attacks to vehicles that were getting closer to the olive groves where room on touchdown i stayed until the fuel was extremely low i barely made it back to the airfield roman had waited for the terrorist to get closer to him and only after that he decided to detonate a grenade taking his own life but avoiding capture he even managed to shout this is for our of lads what he did that Russias Defense Ministry released several facts about his life he left a wife and a four year old daughter behind he was an experienced pilot and it was not his first time serving in syria he was part of a dozen successful military operations and he died as a hero fighting terrorist at the age of thirty three. And the pilots bravery hasnt gone unnoticed on t. V. See this letter from a veteran us offering support and asking if theres a fund collecting donations for his widow and child and stevenson armed forces if such a fund is being created and we are awaiting their response for clarification the man who wrote that letter gave on to his thoughts on major phillipe of story he knew what it is chances were. And he knew what he had to do. And he knew he was never going to be captured. Thats a decision he had to bake. Its very hard to sit back but. He did what he had to do most was a personal decision. He knew what could happen to him he knows what can happen to other troops. And what has happened to his comrades these are very important people to you. And you do most anything for them. Even risk your life he had to die like this. Here. I wonder if i would be brave enough to do what he did. He was he was a good bill. Thanks thing with saving you watching antti international latest News Headlines coming your way at the top of the hour. Im completely confused about why a Republican Administration made a change that was the same surely. Part of the democratic philosophy i can only think that somewhere deep within what they call the deep state in the u. S. Treasury there were left leaning bureaucrats who who implemented this change to a territoriality based system protect sation without anybody actually being aware of what was going on. In america a College Degree requires a great deal. Paying a decades long debt. Studying so hard it requires drugs just. Going through humiliation to enter an elite society. And partying to death sometimes quite literally. Want other true colors of universities in the us. National governments in various locations still dont even understand what crypto currency is how mining works what bitcoin does and that confusion and that learning curve that they havent bothered to climb leads to a lot of missed policy choices messed up policy choices and its because of a massive confusion out there so little is known about bitcoin except the currencies at all levels of government most levels of the Consumer World and even within the Crypto Community itself.

Internationally one of the best known victims and long term survivors is a cosmologist and theoretical physicist Professor Stephen Hawking and the list about m. And d. Went viral in twenty fourteen for the ice bucket challenge in which both celebrities and ordinary people to park across the globe when point one scotland it is a year since the death of political activist and whose brave struggle focused attention on nursing provision for the condition of the un macdonald sent to the Edinburgh University named after the long term stuff of the pioneers Stem Cell Research into the disease have a right no the disease is both progressive and incurable and therefore when someone in the public eye opens up as a victim of m. And d. It generates sympathy and support one such person is dirty were one of the most famous and best loved figures in International Rugby he decided last year to go public about his condition i interviewed about muddy fields stadium the home of Scottish Rugby and seeding of some of his greatest games as a player. But the day we as women hear that money feel this must bring back a few memories does your very much yet it seems such a long time ago now and is a long time ago since i was involved a player on the pitch and its moved office in a new pitch now its looking out splendid sixty one caps sixty one caps was scotland well yeah very fortunate yeah when those maybe elsewhere there were you know how high is high yes exactly thats ok you say now very lucky and through the ninetys theres a lot of people who made life a lot easier for me and the likes of gentile for standing hes played in Scottish Rugby and in a world of pain he wasnt i mean he was my coach at melrose and so obviously scotland in the baseline so if he wasnt involved i probably would have been selected but then others in the you in the field make you look better than you actually are so who coast through on the ball and theyre hitting it after that and i would have been able to catch as well so so i dont have a great time and what a lovely people have a good good memories as well as election day bill mcclaren displayed one of the authorities as like a mad general he also said leaping like a some in israel thats what you called to read i think he said once or twice i was always and nothing else. And i occasionally he maybe mentioned i was useful as a lighthouse in a desert which has been also a compliment a bit sadly missy played a big part as well and an american game of rugby exciting and i was watching this and my view is one of the the atmosphere stadiums of the world in the last stadium plenty of new atmosphere this is pretty n. S. A. And it has great atmosphere when we play in the big games like cisco in england you know and a big of a map on the field well be as close to each other in the way not we couldnt hear the way no calls because the noise was just to clear the field because of the bones of the roof on to the pitch and with that so my fear is that why you are so sick say. No and it was this took it to the big board. And with is difficult to explain to people but that is what makes you enjoy the game and the you will miss the late night specialist i was basically because of you left the school team is bogus you are the one that caught the ball or you might not believe this behind the law to do im a junior junior years am i was involved in the horses and joy the pony club or used to ride horses and it was mainly for a while competed in the School Championships and i think that helped me in the inner so when you get propelled by some double decker buses youve got to be pretty good in the quarter and understand how to move in the air and with the horses and stuff you get so a balance a good friend to help me win a game or a base around and obviously with the courses in the dressage test you go on the stand the reason behind their all and try and work out the quickest route in your brush line you went to a really bad injury and that was and was a. Main to seven just over twenty years ago now just part of the given me the lions is quite special its the home the home unions to go to every four years a bit like the olympics and so to get away at all through which was created to go on the tour and the enforcer to be injured it was a. Realtor to witness for spain was pretty special for myself and my family of all the moments you had what was your favorite moment a little bit i think is probably so when you first asked you the same question whats your favorite part and so politics ive had such a great time over twenty thirty years travelling the world to mean a lot of people certain games you remember like your fans caught the attention when the main two main tickets argentina here was pretty special for me i mean involving three world cups so i knew mr gray area too. Numerous rugby games see this well on and with everyones kind of special on the back of rugby as well. To try and find santa clause with the b. B. C. Question of sport so again. For some primitive times i just find them and adjust for scotland to win them a small club i did ask of a lot but i didnt find them i just phoned the selfserving he was crazy busy. Going but what a great. Country that was as well to go and visit back to the rugby world cups mean to one we go to get every find which was great for scotland ninety five again in the world cup you wont believe i scored two tries or one match emilies made it to school tries but if you kill a key try school of the team that was the your job there were a job within one mile she must either feel a bit of fun with some of your colleagues after the game played it because it was quite unique given surrounds it against new zealand didnt mean had a very good try scoring record when you mention of scored four or sixty one so the. Spells but yes as a forward you know they have to try and win the ball to mentally for the box to the pretty boys of the team to school tries to make the points and they take over go to the haystacks s. I mean governance score history. To go all the glory is justified because the good players so your. Newcastle and then back to the. New have clia when did you decide. To hang up your boots and you couldnt jump was supposed to thing that and how did you feel when you separate the last game of rugby ill be playing competitive level well i think Everybody Knows when the when the and this insight of themselves were able to me the decision to come back to the board because i will always be one to be quite loyal for the jealousy so i possibly could have gotten played in five years. Clubs. World if a choir but again it was it wasnt what i wanted to do get paid for playing for a club i didnt know so the clubs i did was involve mallows and newcastle on the ball this was very special and with that thought it was the ultimate and the end and with that to believe. It discover it to see a movie difficult to see if you could enjoy what you do and i was training five times a day in the later years and people who know me know that i dont really enjoy training and with that i just was it was an enjoyable and when you dont enjoy something youve kind of got to get up and move on its going to do and it becomes an engine and sometimes you know that yourself but i had a good end in that if i did all this when i finished and and that was it an unknown enjoying jointly and on the plate you played against you know the great players of the of the day which which which was your the one that really stood a few paces the one who spent it past you can you give me a little well it was quite a lot of him was not fast. I think i want to spend so i was probably join a little. He was just standing to just agree. Huge powerful hard skills his legs are massive use to touch him was it was pretty impressive to try and tackle him was even better but not many people did that and seen him run through so many people honey when he played against england was it was quite special remember that. He had a moment like i love you all over the world well as well but he was sadly not here anymore but he was quite phenomenal too just to be involved in the game e propelled the game that we have but it is now a look at the left Scotland Team leave that disappoint little last. But what do you think the prospects are for the side you see developing in scotland where i think theyve done very well fortunate last out there at toads and he knows you knows what to do the team know that performance well so moving forward i guess if you try. They were unfortunate in some ways because of their fantastic autumn test so whether weighed in a bit confident its always difficult to tell because scott would always prefer going as a underdog in a moment to win and its his favorites to do quite well in the back of a performance against Australia New Zealand so were going to turn the regroup theyre going on to i think unfortunately the last a triple crown a few other bits but theyre going to hold their heads high and perform well and the rest the six nations and i think ill talk to legal aid sort of quick sight you think we could do some damage in a little cup come with a shot over there before should a few injuries have happened at the moment to scotland squad and you get better get back playing again but its a very exciting side. Tries or gives a sailor was just outstanding and that shows their ability to score which has not been prevalent in recent years so everyone in the state isnt been so although for many a month already just shows you the support theyve got because the way the play everyones behind them home games are going to happen amounts what really people would like to see and support me can you see the money field in sundays going to be a warship scores fancying the french and some exciting time and. Across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies who he had to me to peep out of the holes with simple song alone even some company elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us theyre all. Allowed from us you guys to go on the back of my because. This is us to quote them out of Political Office and more you will deliver bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water its about water but its also over much more than water its about the hurt and the redistribution of. Birds their date downwards the one door. Closes what do you mean you dont. See the teacher. Did it quite put it. What can you not through only ten you. Mate
