Afternoon and welcome this is r. T. International. Residents in northeastern france are creating a stink by trash talking the belgian neighbors have accused them of cross border fly tipping. Visited the region. This may look like part of a landfill site but its not all of this waste has been dumped here illegally were just a few miles from the border with belgium and luxembourg and the french town of all core mu 9 is one of many struggling to cope with what you can see mountains and to mountains of garbage that have appeared since october in nearby its a similar story trash both household and commercial has been dumped under the cover of darkness city. At 1st we thought it was regular waste but it turns out people are illegally dumping their. Washing machine its shitty they are throwing everything away. Yes but here we see its far more serious we estimate around 200 tons of waste its enormous as far as the pollution we dont know whats inside it could be tons of who knows what type of products. Chemicals. We dont know we see cleaning products plastics but more could be hidden it didnt take long before calls track down where the waste was coming from what if we did i was looking through the trench piles and piles of it it all had signs of being from the same place we searched and found out it was from on term. And that if there is an invoice is it and. There you know it says. So of s. When the company was contacted it didnt need any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued its been described as dumping on an industrial scale and you can see why back in the local Fishermans Association is also concerned. On the water source or close to this pollution so there can be a problem because it could affect our pond this is the 21st century there are designated places to put waste like this is an acceptable and people are doing this and regulate the Mayors Office says the cost of cleaning this up is beyond its means no and if you know so on a financial level for us this is impossible to solve we have a Small Community of 1000. 00 people it would cost the equivalent of the whole annual budget to get rid of this. A criminal investigation into this problem with cross border dumping has we know you print and customs agents have stepped up their patrols now in 2017 they reported 7 metric tons of waste like this was illegally trafficked into france in 2018 that shot up to 130000000 metric. Tuns now although there are no figures yet available for 29000. 00 it is clear that this issue is escalating the communities here are fed up of being a dumping ground for of the peoples waste they want more regulation and are calling on the e. U. To step in to solve a problem that some believe europes open borders are helping to facilitate. Show that. The u. S. President donald trump threatened further d sanctions on venice where theres a little sense of iraq suspended american destructions a weapon of mass destruction accusing washington of waging a mask. Its been a year since the u. S. Formally recognized venezuelas opposition the as the countrys interim president showing the door to the jittery government of nicholas dura washington stance that theres been a genuine transfer of power is looking increasingly hollow as more been explained. When it comes to venezuela the trumpet ministration lives in a kind of alternate universe for example when the country faces a food crisis donald trump says there can be only one cause venezuelas president Nicolas Maduro people are starving heres a case worker who was wealthy 15 years ago and very wealthy 20 years ago very very well when you look today they dont have water theyre on a basic food they have no medicine its incredible whats happened it is were no were watching as well a very closely we dont like it we dont like it now that he fails to mention that u. S. Sanctions have been wreaking havoc on venezuela for years or that opposition groups have actually been caught torching food warehouses in the narrative of the u. S. Government these things simply dont exist that inaccessible most of the men using the blockade of food medicine and weapons to politically coerce depriving entire countries of their own means to sustain and develop themselves are actually there are completely criminal these unilateral curser criminal actions are equivalent in scope and effectiveness to weapons of mass destruction but it gets better the Venezuelan Embassy in washington d. C. Has been reopened after diplomatic relations are cut off youll recall how the actual venezuelan officials were ordered to leave the country so with no diplomatic relations what exactly is this new socalled embassy. Somebody was in there. Was able to provide consular services. Its not an actual work. Ok. Very interesting because i hear that there and you see this pretend the embassy has a pretend ambassador working out of it it cannot grant visas or do any of the normal functions that a normal embassy does for one simple reason no one would be allowed into venezuela with those visas because the embassy doesnt represent the actual venezuelan government this pretend embassy is just a big facade representing a president not elected by the venezuelan people that buy american officials duras grip and tyranny will be smashed and broken. Here this evening so a very brave man. Who carries with him the hopes dreams and aspirations of all that is whelans joining us in the gallery is the true and illegitimate president of venezuela one boy do i even know the u. S. Government insists this is the true leader of the venezuelan people but when he arrived at venezuelas airport the venezuelan people had a pretty different opinion. Back home the one great oh is not popular polls show that roughly 10 percent of venezuelan support him however Vice President mike pence likes to brag about the fact that over 60 countries have recognized him as president this president has led now a coalition of more than 60 countries around the world but of recognize one why go as the legitimate president of venezuela but over 100 countries have not recognize. One way to go and still seem a thorough as the legitimate president furthermore in the countries where dueto is recognized its far from unanimous do you not agree that the recognition of glial is an absolute gem barras months to anyone that has occupied this chamber i was a disgrace and on the part of the Member States of europe some of them about record not elected washington had very high hopes for one grade 0 hoping that he would go ahead and topple the dural but it didnt happen so it seems that now washington has adopted a strategy of pretending that it did and hoping that others will play along the us is totally broken International Law by taking over the embassy in the name of the then israel and government is the official government of venezuela whenever the us. Dos a joke most people in venezuela know that its a joke. You cant just declare that somebody is the elected president when he isnt the elected. So the the us is making this this farce of a person into the government and then saying that the embassy doesnt belong to venezuela we now have a coalition of the willing who are saying that quite 0 is the government it doesnt have any other option i mean he hasnt been able to push that mud euro out. A new b. B. C. Documentary claims that you cant let it implicated in a doping control the sea involving britains 4 time olympic champion and top insurance run a mo farah with more details his aunties alexias to ski. This summer the whole of Great Britain will be glued to their screens rooting for the nations prize athlete 4 time olympic champion runner more or will they and you panorama documentary by the b. B. C. Has cost further doubt on whether more farah success was cleanly won the dont fall back to salazar who could serve more to. Choose what to do to win at all costs the main Sticking Point is the role of former coach Alberto Salazar who was banned in october 29000 from a new sports activities he was the head of the controversial nike oregon project until the u. S. Antidoping agency suspected he may have banned the dopping rules one of those substances he used was l. Carnitine designed to speed up muscle and heart recovery for athletes its considered legal indows this which do not exceed 50 millimeters over 6 hours salazar however reportedly invented a new method of administering l. Carnitine through intravenous injections which itself sparked questions from u. S. Antidoping authorities it has not been a secret that i had had injections of the substance prior to the lawn the marathon in 2014 but the new documentary opens a fresh can of worms namely about the relationship between salazar and u. K. Athletics meet barry fudge head of the Long Distance running at you get lead takes still working at the organization in 2014 he reportedly flew to switzerland to obtain the el carnitine in a form which could not have been acquired in the u. K. He did not document this trip even though he had to hes calling u. K. Athletics dr rob chakravarty reportedly administered the injections to more and yet he didnt report it either even though it is against the rules to prevent he later said he simply forgot to do that over working and travelling to most of them even unusual occurrence that this very specific medicine was required a source of great difficulty given against the initial advice of the doctor being the word he said he recalls of it and there were supposed to be quite about it but the eve. More bizarre case of forgetfulness occurred with more himself when you saw the investigators came to question him 1st he staunchly denied that he was. Left the interrogation but then came back and changed his account having spoken to barry fudge i have never taken carnitine injections at all i just wanted to come clean sorry guys and i did take it at the time and i thought i did it all comes back to me but at the time i dont remember more farrahs lawyer says the athlete just didnt get the question now having seen the documentary the u. K. Antidoping agencys c. E. O. Nicole sapp said said she the agency was ready to cooperate and even called usada is investigation robust we thank the Panorama Team for their efforts the program is another example of the importance of Investigative Journalism regards and Integrity Matters in sports u. K. Anti doping Agency Support of the u. S. Anti duping agency with their investigation into the nike oregon project we believe us and to do in agencies investigation was extensive and robust but just a month ago the u. K. Openly refused to hand over more fire us all to doping probes to usada for retesting now theres no word whether this these new revelations would lead to the much sought retesting of ferrous probes because who knows what kind of further controversies surrounding the pride of britain sport such a move would uncover after this latest panorama bombshell. We asked just in sports a lecturer Ellis Cashmore and Swimming CoachMark Hendricks but their thoughts on the scandal. Im sorry i just dont buy the fact that some will or some people could be so forgetful if someone injects a substance into you you dont forget you can just walk away and say no they didnt do it and then sometime later say oh i forgot it happened it keeps a now this is all through pete over the last 24 hours we did nothing that wasnt compliant with wider protocols you know if this our connotate is ok if administered in the right dosage yes but theyre also saying it may not be within the spirit of sport what does that mean you know this to me is it is so of they are its illegal or is it theres no 2 ways about it and if that has been a violation of a lot of code then im afraid u. K. Athletics has to be brought to justice so i sing thats all a little bit funny what happened now and this time in the. City as a social at 1st more far set i dont take a look at and t. And suddenly it seems he has he taken it and the u. K. Asleep because a station chief medical officer says it was legal and nothing was documented its for me or a big lie sometimes i wonder if. Its or a doctor saying that people are stupid imagine the same thing happened in the russian this time would be blocked again for the next or another for 4 years but the same like knowledge in the u. K. Is a small city. Remarks about castro see Us Democratic from time to Bernie Sanders surrounded on by his rivals in the last thing the debate before super tuesday will bring you that story and others after this break. In the United States president ial candidates debate the future of the u. S. And the world. Max kaiser and Stacy Herbert dig into the burning questions of this election cycle one topic every week. Tax student debt trade wars corporate money universal basic. And more catch up with whats front running this sunday exclusively on r. T. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Some want to. Get it right for us this is what the. 3 of them will be good. Interested always in the waters of. The u. S. Democrat 2020 hopefuls have clashed again in a nother t. V. Debate last befalls South Carolina and super tuesday and seen this decisive for the partys president ial nomination the front burner Bernie Sanders face more attacks from his rivals for his earlier remarks that defended Literacy Programs in Fidel Castros cuba but they selfstyled socialist words were initially made in a c. B. S. Interview and his opponents were quick to pounce. Were very opposed to be more thorough peer in nature of cuba but you know you know its unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a Massive Literacy Program its not a bad think after 4 years of looking on in horror as trump cozied up to dictators we need a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights abroad we cant risk nominating someone who doesnt recognize this fidel castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people but sure bernie lets talk about his Literacy Program. And during the debates and theres also noted his views on cable over the same as Barack Obamas said the president goes from you and said look youve made great progress in educating. Young people every child in cuba its a basic education thats thats a huge improvement from where it once early my colleague Daniel Hawkins discussed the potential impact of santas remarks on the race with a panel of guests. Bernie sanders saying this thing at a time when the Democratic Partys already split its divided its going through perhaps a bit of a p. R. It means here across this i mean this is a really bad decision isnt it sanders to me shows his integrity here look hes been saying this for years that theres videotapes of him saying these things about cuba and fidel castro in the soviet union i mean how can he backtrack on those things honestly you know hes just you know reaffirming ideas that he has had for many years the concern is not him saying good things about the Literacy Program its i said it thing that mussolini got the trains to run on time that was not what it is that People Associated with what mussolini did it happened to be the case but he was a murderous dictator as was castro spineless democratic stablish men shows their true colors its like a litmus test every time you can say one positive word about cuba or the one word in defense of venezuelan sovereignty they want to make sure theres no critique and so imperialist critique of the u. S. Foreign policy establishment so this is a very sophisticated form of censorship to try to narrow the perimeter is as we have more and more debates within the Democratic Party coming out of that anyone can all get literacy is a bad thing Literacy Programs thats probably we could all agree on that but isnt this an era of judgment on bunny sourness paul given there are lots of countries with good Literacy Programs with social programs and robust human rights records i mean this is surely shooting oneself in the foot before important electoral rights we have a democratic nominee who is tipping is hat to castro the murderer for having a Literacy Program so its not just a question of scepter ship or narrowing things its making 100 percent sure we have a nominee who is electable and the concern is once the public realizes what Bernie Sanders. Said in the past hes an unreconstructed socialist and the United States that generally not a calling card the unofficial religion of the United States is in communism and we just have to listen to richard previous comments boy to hear some of the answer to communism but the truth is that the youth of this country in the multinational working class who supported bernie in nevada 46 percent of the votes that he won in nevada theyre not antisocial if they understand who the true enemy is the enemy is not venezuela or cuba or china its the 1000000000 is right here in the pentagon in the white house the former. Mayor of new york city Michael Bloomberg and on wall street i will quote george w. Bush who said we judge other countries by the worst of their actions we judge our own country by the best of our intentions and i think thats true you can look at a country like cuba and yes you can learn about Literacy Programs that Work Health Care programs that work and we should be able to do that in a rational way again especially when you look at the fact that people like President Trump and president obama before him and numerous president s before them partnered with murderous regimes like saudi arabia which now is being funded by the u. S. In its war against yemen which is threatening to kill millions of people and yet that is something that isnt being discussed. Violence broke out between riot police and hundreds of residents on the greek islands of lets both keel people there are furious of the authorities plan to build new Migrant Detention Centers offices resources to tear gas to disperse the crowd to which set fronts of rubbish bins and trying to blockade the local port. Ok. The was the this is democracy and for this is democracy is that if this is democracy then i dont know what to say i dont know what to say shame shame on the government shame on everyone its disgusting its betrayed you and acceptable for the way the government has acted towards us and they would be treating us like were enemy it islet is i mean to take is a belongs to the islanders this country was based on democracy and the only they have done is create inhumanity of all for the refugees and for the residents of the island early greeces foreign minister announced a new policy aimed at protecting refugees stressing also that the country was on the frontline of the migrant crisis greece continues to deal with the largest flows of migrants and refugees since the 2nd world war we are among the 4 e. U. Member states with the highest number of asylum applications despite the disproportionate burden we have saved thousands of lives in the sea. You come as a living in makeshift camps which are overcrowded for example the more you can polish boss was originally doesnt theres anything to accommodate around 3000 refugees but the actual number now is almost 7 times higher 74000 refugees arrived in greece with more than half that number still living in camps this year the country estimates some 100000 Asylum Seekers will reach its soil political analysts purchase a good deal says that the situation could get worse with more you support. Regarding the present situation as it is i want to go were going to have classes between. The local people and the migrants the islanders do not want to be expelled from where on an island so theyre staying so far and just protests that things can get pretty worse in the sense of some of the silence of the come condition is a dreadful so its only logical the crime will increase if he doesnt. Then what on the front scene then. Do with problems like your program in greece as a European Union problem and not just this a problem of just one country will be in big big trouble.
