Broadcasting live direct from our studio this is R T International and certainly glad to have you with us. You know the International Association of athletics federations has extended its ban on russia it comes as the World Antidoping Agency relaunches compliance procedures against the countrys Antidoping Agency amid claims moscow provided manipulated data the probe could cost russia its participation in next years olympics moscow has already reacted to the allegations. Risottos in full compliance with the code this is confirmed by the fog that we have passed to audits in 2 years i was responsible for them i can guarantee this was absolute certainty for saudis committed to meeting all its International Obligations however we have nothing to do as the most cool aboard tree or the samples well with the l. M. Pics already upon us next summer the World Antidoping Agency is actually investigating a bombshell allegation that could see russia suspended from tokyo games next year now let me give you some details on whats happening now russia has been given a 3 week deadline to explain why data from moscow Drug Testing Laboratory provided to the World Antidoping Agency might have been tampered with and eve these suspicions of trying to tampering prove correct then the country could again be suspended and that is happening just a year after russia was reinstated actually handing over that particular day there from villa bora tree was among the critical requirements for the reinstatement and of course there has been some high level reaction to this weve no phone some inconsistency were going to deal with it were going to deal with it properly we dont know yet whether its tampering or manipulation or whatever else it might be since the rules state that if we assume noncompliance and the russians dont accept it it will be decided by the courts of all betray sion for sports so you have to be very careful you have to know exactly what happened and thats the process were involved in we met all the conditions for the restoration of sunder which were established by the Water Executive Committee we were told that database transfers to water by the informant was slightly different from the one the water experts had taken a copy of in moscow in 2019 what exactly these discrepancies are and what they are connected with would be established by experts from both sides. For our parents we continue to provide all possible the systems let me remind you that. I was actually suspended back in 2015 and after 3 years it was reinstated as ive mentioned before all of that happened after claims that there was a widespread state run doping scheme in the country actually there was a number of some really strong accusations that we heard of the time however not everything was actually proved with some harsh avodah and as for moscow well moscow denied it was state sponsored but still there was enough evidence to ban scores of russian athletes they were allowed to participate only to a limited extent and at the Winter Olympics in south korea and the neutral flag and now this is just a basically the latest twist in this ongoing story. Cashmore professor of sociology at the u. K. That asked a new diversity the former sports and media lecturer this could end up isolating russia from the sports world. The potential of this. Calamitous as photos russia. Could result. Rush of being banned by every sport that is affiliated toward it would end the doping agency in other words not just the olympics but they could be disqualified from the fetal cup and all the other major sporting tournament around the world for lord knows how long frankly what were hearing about is the discrepancy this is mysterious our comp claim to know and then anybody else who doesnt know exactly what the nature of this socalled discrepancy in the data that russia is appears to be completely confident that its quite minor and they said only earlier this week. Why dont we all get our Armed Services if water is satisfied by those arts as by those explanations of the so called discrepancy there presumably this scandal will be over and russias reinstatement will progress satisfactorily but if it isnt satisfied thats when the trouble will really begin and ask when we really are into unknown territory. Young environmental activists agree to turn berg was the highlight of the uns emergency Climate Summit on monday she dressed World Leaders accusing them of ignoring the problem and stealing her childhood. You have stolen my dreams my childhood with your empty words and yet im one of the jocks once. People are suffering people are dying entire School Systems are collapsing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and what you can talk about is money and fame or tales of Economic Growth how dare you i 6 was right i gave donald trump an angry look when she crossed paths with the us president she was a score to decide by security personnel as trump arrived at the u. N. Headquarters for a separate meeting on religious freedom and bergs address came at the start of the un Climate Action summit a day devoted to World Leaders showing Climate Solutions and a new pledges for action. A great attorney berg is not the only champion of Climate Action making headlines french president. Found himself facing protesters in paris who think hes not doing enough parties. Deeper into the story. President matt corner fronts has a once again called the planners to help in the fight against Climate Change speaking at the u. N. Climate change emergency summit he said he understood the frustrations of the millions of schoolchildren who had been striking on fridays next amended to be deployed in one week for months and months now weve heard the young people speaking and i think theyve identified as absolutely urgency that we have to respond to him but while much corn understands their frustrations his government didnt seem too keen on those climate activists who protested in paris over the weekend with some alleging brute force was used by the police as the violence spiraled out of control. And matt corn has made it clear he really wants the protesters to go away well from false at least as what you really really wants is for them to take their anger out on another you country polands. Mulching every friday to say that the planet is burning thats nice but that is not the problem people should go protest in poland help me move those i cannot push forward not corns upset that poland is refusing to commit to an e. U. Target to be Carbon Neutral by 2050 heads walking the floor from adopting this is official policy thats not going down well in poland where the countrys Deputy Foreign minister is accused of the lecturing and it is perhaps difficult to swallow such a lecture when france itself has been accused of holding behind on tackling the Climate EmergencyFrances Mission emissions targets in 3 or 4 big sectors a wise person once said people who live in cost houses show. 3 brix advice some may counsel to take challah g r t s. French german and u. K. Leaders have openly blamed iran for an attack on a Saudi Arabian oil refinery earlier this month british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson even promised to help the us secure the gulf region and with the fate of u. S. Iran relations hanging in the balance archies Daniel Hawkins looks into how the standoff could play out. Iran and the United States go way back a relationship at sea a coup terrorism sanctions even direct confrontation for over half a century its hard to find enemies more bitter could we see all out war the question today on the minds of many listening to recent rhetoric youd certainly think that possibility is growing that if any country wants to attack iran it will seize territory turn into the conflicts main battlefields will never let any war be dragged into iran we will continue until the end we will continue until the full destruction of any aggressor and we will leave no safe place for enemies and that was a very large attack. And it could be met with an attack many many times larger very easily by our country the saudis have called for u. S. Help after those attacks on its all refineries it seems all those billions spent on u. S. Military gadgets werent enough to keep them safe back in may the u. S. Sent an Aircraft Carrier strike group to the gulf to this latest incident the u. S. Was quick to announce another military deployment the president has approved the deployment of u. S. Forces which will be defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and Missile Defense we will also work to accelerate the delivery of military equipment to the kingdom of saudi arabia and the u. A. E. To enhance their ability to defend themselves many see some historical deja vu in this latest move dating back 3 decades at my direction elements of the 82nd Airborne Division as well as key units of the United States air force are arriving today to take up defensive positions in saudi arabia i took this action to assist the Saudi Arabian government in the defense of its homeland operation Desert Shield back then protecting these 3 brilliancy of the region and the worlds oil markets and supply lines was one key factor behalf. Im intervention but much has changed in 3 decades the u. S. Is now the Worlds Biggest Oil producer protecting gulf oil exports just isnt the priority anymore neither is being in the middle of a war between riyadh and tehran the United States is pursuing its own interests and that is to control the floyds flow of oil to the world and that means providing oil to its friends and denying oil to its enemies weve seen the United States embargo oil to play countries like syria the sale of oil from iran sudan libya many other places this is about the United States control over the most important commodity in the world that keeps industry going and keeps country standing on their feet and domestic appetite for sending the boys to a place of sand and death is weak according to a recent poll just 13 percent would support a military intervention to protect the saudis adding a 2nd or 3rd party into that kind of tense scenario doesnt necessarily deescalate things if anything it escalates things even further that we get into another war like afghanistan or iraq and get stuck over there for another 1015 years we think iraq was bad iran to be 100000 times worse and we would absolutely destroy there i just think we should be less involved in other World Affairs no desire for conflict with iran this seems to be a war that neither side wants or at least says they want yet still seem to be on a collision course we have made it very clear that we dont want war we have made it very clear that we dont want escalation making a statement that we dont want war we dont want to engage in a military confrontation america 1st has been trumps mantra since before his Election Campaign ending costly conflicts no more world policeman with analysts warning of the devastating costs of a war with iran the u. S. Stands at a crossroads just how high a price are they willing to. Paid to meet their objectives the u. S. As we know is now the worlds Number One Oil producer fracking has changed the nature of Oil Production tickling the us and there is an overhead in the oil market so Many Americans are saying why are we interested in the gulf we dont need saudi oil but you know if the lesson is the fact of the matter is that oil is not just a product it is leverage over the International Community is geostrategic lee important ever since world war 2 the United States has wanted to control energy in the world so the United States is very loath to leave the gulf even though it doesnt actually need the oil itself taliban representatives have met chinas envoy to afghanistan discussing the failure of peace talks with the u. S. That is right after this quick break watching our 2 international. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. And welcome back to this is Art International now a new allegation against donald trump is adding fuel to impeachment efforts by u. S. Democrats it is based on reports the president pressured his ukrainian counterpart to investigate possible corruption involving 2020 hopeful joe biden. Been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment but if the president is essentially trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit then that may be the only remedy by failing to act congress is complicit in trumps latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in the us elections do your constitutional duty and impeach the president at this point a bigger National Scandal isnt the president s low breaking behavior it is the Democratic Party to impeach him for it. And on sunday trump denied any misconduct over discussing biden in a phone call with president vladimir also accuse the former Vice President of corruption tied to his sons Business Activities and ukraine the phone conversation has come to light after a whistleblower claims that trump solicited help from a foreign leader on his Saskia Taylor comments. Youve got to give it to the democrats theyre hardworking bunch especially when somethings related to the biggest pet peeve kalu said but with all attempts over the past 3 years to push trump out of the white house havent for a bit flat new rumors have put the fire back in their bellies complain about President Trump it involves ukraine troubling promise president may have made to a foreign leader years ago 1st got in office were also nervous that dont trump was some sort of sleeper agent who was going to sell america out to a foreign power behind our backs. Well Throwback Thursday the wall into multiple reports of potentially illegal activity new allegations of attempted foreign collusion the Washington Post reported that back in july trump and the newly elected wanted to ms and how did a little chat in which trump asked his ukrainian counterpart to investigate former Vice President joe biden and apparently top level whistleblower leaks that trump unethically said hed be generous with billions worth of American Military and intelligence aid if he was cooperative whistleblower is under what i can only imagine must be the most. Intense pressure sharing anything that is truly sensitive and endangers our National Security here in our world the trouble sounds to see but then things took a slightly disappointing turn the Washington Post sort of backtracked and admitted that well actually they might have jumped the gun just to listen. One source familiar with the conscience of the phone call so the crew did not raise the issue of American Military and intelligence aide that the administration was at the time withholding from ukraine indicating that there may not be no explicit quid pro quo expressed in the conversation but for the desperate damns even the with of a scandal was enough reports of a reliable whistleblower complaint regarding the president S Communications with a foreign leader brings grief urgent concerns of our National Security when you have the president call him in from other countries and whistleblowers are talking about compromising who he has deemed a political enemy this is serious this is very very serious and we have to investigate it this is all in the spirit of pursuing justice and protecting the American People from shady political dealings so probably a bit that trump was gunning for an investigation into how a bomb as a right hand man biden had pushed for a top ukrainian prosecutor to be fired but hey its probably just a coincidence that the prosecutor was leading a corruption investigation into a Natural Gas Company that bidens son was linked to biden bragging that he basically blackmailed x. President Petro Poroshenko into firing the guy isnt that convincing is what i said you know i get the 1000000000 im going to be leaving iraq i think it was about 6 hours 6 hours and the prosecutor is not fired youre not getting the money. No not biden surely not he looks so good in those shorts back in the sixtys he had such a lovable bromance with obama he cant be shady i love joe biden but there is still so much good in this country and joe biden i think represents that the democrats will see him as the best choice voters in the battleground state of wisconsin say they favor by never President Trump everyone loves your by if youre trump because an elusive phone call from a secret source reported in a classified document leaked in an article but that corrected itself would be declared hard evidence and bring the year. Democrats knocking at your door but if youre the only candidate your party has mustered up that even stands a chance of getting the vote of the American People in 2020 so you do something thats up for interpretation and turning a blind eye while no harm no foul this is a barn that basically joe biden has set off himself thats going to i think in the end push him perhaps out of contention it seems very much that the democrats like to shift Public Opinion away from their misconduct by alleging misconduct of trump and it fools. A large number of people who are not deep divers into details but its certainly not fooling me and its not fooling i think many other pundits around the world who look at this and say the democrats are just deceiving themselves at this point they opened this can of worms trump didnt bring it up 1st they brought it up now that people have brought it back up there are serious questions about what was going on in ukraine i would argue from 2004 forward. Involving corrupt elements of both Political Parties inside our country and now that the democrats approach this up again i believe trump has a megaphone with his twitter account and were going to get to the bottom of what was really going on in the changing nature of u. S. Ukraine and russia relations going to 2004 forward or maybe even further back than that. Representatives of the taliban have met chinas envoy to afghanistan meeting in beijing they discussed of the failure of the terror groups peace talks with the United States donald trump and it talks this month after a u. S. Soldier was killed in a telephone attack in kabul with hopes for peace fading again arties parsley or visited an afghan refugee camp in pakistan where people are desperate to return home. Im here in an afghan refugee camp in the pakistani capital islamabad more than a 1000 families called us home and they were small percentage of the more than 1000000 afghan refugees who have moved to pakistan in the past 4 decades now they keenly watching developments across the border with the american President Donald Trump recently announcing that he is withdrawing from secret talks of the taliban and russia stepping up to the mark for People Living here what happens in those talks has a direct impact on the lives im going to meet them on khan family to see how they feel about things go and we came here from afghanistan and we dont have a stable income sometimes and sometimes we dont only our is keeping us alive with them nice that were happy here in afghanistan we had the land and the house we didnt see bread and butter for years. We came here to work because the situation in afghanistan is too bad and its too difficult to live there we are poor people and we have no limbs and have only god well you know of course we want our children to be well educated and to attend good schools our family runs a store the market would earn hardly anything im suffering from here the titles but i dont have enough money to buy medicine as you can see they dont have very much its 10 people who live here in 3 mad rooms and they survive by selling fruits and vegetables on the sides of the road shaheen is one of the Community Leaders how would you say the pakistani government treats afghan refugees afghan refugees live slightly better here than its hard but we dont have full rights we want to have the same rights as pakistanis no after he gets a driving license or a car we want peace in afghanistan and we will be very happy to be able to return to our country the pakistani Prime Minister in one can in an interview i did with him said that pakistan is willing to do whatever it needs to do to make sure that the talks in afghanistan work america however needs to send its soldiers. But the americans. Will have to of course leave understand and i think President Trump wants the u. S. Soldiers to leave understand this is not a lot more than pakistan can do than what it is already doing which is urging the. Only who would it has influence to sit down and talk to the americans which which they have done and also talk to the of one government which they havent done as yet for the more than 1000000 afghan refugees in pakistan they dont have much but the belief that one day they will return home is something making to. R. T. Islamabad. For that theres a for me i will be back in about 34 and a half minutes with another look at your news youre watching archie it was. What politicians do. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and you. Want to. Have to go right to be close to see like them before 3 in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the waters of our. Friendship. With lawmakers manufactured to sentence to public wealth. When the ruling close to some protect them so. When the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. Who ignore middle of the room signals. From the real news is really. Wrong and this is when the bank is solvent and folks are concerned about their money so they try to withdraw the money so here you have one of the foundation blocks of the Global Derivatives market the repo market and its being bailed out every day by 75000000000. 00 a day so its the biggest bailout for a day for our its never seen a bail out on an hourly basis this big average history. But if she warn you the budget and. Do the dishes at the bottom or those jeans nudist beach and you see me we. Can use i mean guys without infringing balls. A lot of you will see sawing your info as if parts of the 2 can teach other both sides. Of the. Cabinet 5 days doing this is. An english lady a few people who knew she would include in. The more i tried to understand venezuela the more i could see the signs of all solitary unism emerging on my continent as well. However what venezuelas critics didnt do was compare human rights issues to those in other countries on the american continent. Civil and Political Rights have been violated in venezuela. But they are violated every day in colombia and they are violated every day in mexico and they are violated every day in brazil. What i call human rights. What i call selective indignation. You shoulda known wasnt a nation with regard to one country. And you keep quiet with regard to many other countries where the situation is many times worse. In brazil the police kill 14 people a day on average. The Colombian Army killed 10000 civilians between 20022010. That doesnt include hundreds of political activists assassinated every year by groups tolerated or even supported by the authorities. Even in the usa the Police Killed almost a 1000 people in 2018. The politicians in some of those countries have called for military intervention in venezuela to protect so they say its citizens. We have troops all over the world this place is a very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and. We have many options for that as well including a possible military option if necessary. Im always careful when we talk about south and Central America and the cia theres a lot of stories. We are very hopeful that there could be a transition in venezuela as i was just down in mexico city
