White house with the like that the law must go into the port behind him. A very warm welcome to you this is r. T. International broadcasting worldwide from our studio here in moscow nicky aaron brown top story this hour the russian doping saugor is once again making headlines new evidence has emerged questioning the authenticity of 3 key whistle blowers affidavits originally submitted with the intent of showing which russian athletes allegedly cheated or for more on that some crossing live to south korea taylor now 38 good to see you what is this new evidence emerged from and does it actually change anything. Well it really potentially Significant Development in the scandal that has gripped the sporting world for several years now at the moment proceedings at the court of arbitration for sport in switzerland are under way and evidence relating to the a legit russian government sanctioned doping scheme is being reassessed but independent expertise from a german newspaper say that in fact the signature overtake he witness on a key piece of testimony is not actually an original but a low quality fake one Digital Forensic report concluded that the same photo fire liberal change of signature was inserted in 2 different affidavits the other 7 was signed by hand thats at least is the conclusion of 2 proportionally independent experts but probably not in rob schenck of handwriting. So whose signature and whats the backstory well the signature is that of dr gregory watching coffin he used to run the anti doping hair in moscow now back in 2015 he fled the u. S. And in his bags was what many perceive to be a treasure trove of information documents hard drives u. S. B. Sticks photos building schemes doping plans that he delighted to have been collecting for decades now stateside he declared that this all pointed to a massive scheme of russian doping at the 2014 winter Olympic Games in sochi and that it was being masterminded all by the kremlin by the government itself now this was seized upon it was turned into an Academy Award winning film called icarus it became a huge story in the New York Times but the repercussions for those athletes who were named and shamed were absolutely devastating 43 athletes were sanctioned the names were removed from the results list of the game and in the longer term it saw many russian sportsman at the 2018 Olympic Games perform without an anthem without a flag now one of the more high profile athletes who suffered from these allegations was a was by athlete and pick champ in oregon sights of a now she consistently denied the claims she said she was always incredibly cautious she brought her own food she only used her own Water Bottles whats more she took hundreds of doping tests all around the world throughout her career and they came back clean she was actually banned for life back in 2017 on the basis of circumstantial evidence but these latest revelations from the spiegel article seem to actually support her claims of innocence. Several pieces of evidence in the files from the swiss proceedings that goal has viewed in recent weeks seem to not only substantiate sites serve as claims of innocence they also appear to raise questions about the overall credibility of the investigation into the sochi conspiracy and whether too much faith was placed in the account provided by the whistleblower in the scandal so just one signature but we can see how serious the repercussions were both for individual athletes but of course also for russian sport as a whole now watching coughs and says that his client looks at all this differently and that any attempts to appeal by russian athletes will undoubtedly be unsuccessful but either way challenging the credibility of the signature of the scandals he witness is potentially a game changer and one touts when you think of the question what are the irregularities could that potentially be so going to have to wait and see but well be following of course. Thank you for those details i thought. Lets go live now to a guest to Ellis Council professor of sociology at social after university and a former sports and media lecturer thank you for joining us on the program mr cashmore how significant is this report from to speak. Well as weve just heard it looks like it could be a game changer on the other hand it could be absolutely nothing it really depends on the court of arbitration rule on this if they believe then obviously it does throw the last 456 years and beyond into doubt because people are going to wonder hang on if a gent coffee is such a doubtful whistleblower and came witness what does that make every subsequent event after that have because as weve just heard a lot of the evidence against all the russian athletes is circumstantial in other words what theyre saying is that weve examined the testing procedures and we believe a lot of these samples be tampered with anything be tampered with where did the tampering come from who did it what happened after that and of course what weve heard of the past 345 years i suppose its been there since the Mclaren Report is that there has been this system what theyre calling state sponsored doping in other words somewhere in the higher echelons of the russian hierarchy there has been a manipulation systematic manipulation of doping not simply one tournament but practically every tournament and that means that every russian athlete has been banned of the past several years theyre not going to be in the next olympics theyre not going to be in the next world cup they will be in the euros but you know this is a this is been a huge stumbling block for russian sport over the past few years as you said if this changes it if this changes over the next 3 days then we have really to rewrite history to as important as that and what do you make of the fact the speedily is questioning the entire credibility all those thoughts of president people might be wondering why has it taken so long for this to become public. Well he hasnt i cannot look when he has been in the public gaze for a long long time but the truth of the matter is that people believe or agenda cough theyve just thought while this guy has fled from russia is taken refuge in the United States we know nothing exactly where but he is the whistleblower and after he blew the whistle people began to investigate his claims and of course they commissioned inquire as the warden the doping agency that is was believed him and said that yes we reported every piece of subsequent evidence that we have seems to back his claim up. And of course as we as a said earlier that weve arrived at this conclusion that the whole russian state has been involved in not just a few sport or even sports governing body but it goes even higher so weve arrived at that conclusion and of course russia has become a pariah in world sport of the past several years. I think this question of the antitrust of what trustworthiness of doctor as misstep what chen calls him and i think scandal personally i dont believe him you know i think hes got an axe to grind obviously hes protecting his own reputation is on life he reckons hes made all kinds of you know quite frankly sometimes melodramatic claims about whats been going on cloak and dagger stories. And for political reasons that i wont go into now but of course you know explain the monarchy over the past year or so i believe there has been a political will to accept what he has been saying about russia. But the evidence that ive seen at least and you know i dont know if there are there is more evidence as that that i have been privy to but for me that isnt compelling evidence and im not convinced that has been this thing called state sponsored doping going on to talk i was trying to all the lawyers seem to be quite confident about that position in the right has anything changed with these new revelations do you think well i was in a good every reason to be confident because i mean they picked the suing him for a lot of money which i have no chance of getting can see them work that you know 30000000 what 3000000 whatever i dont think so in any case and everything that he said so far has been accepted america at the moment is in the midst of another political i wont call it battle but it would seem to me at least that it is. Questioning now the World Anti Doping Agency america wants to become as one poster put it recently the Police Officer of world open you know he wants to in wants to get control of a doping that goes on in the war dont dont let me try him for any of our viewers today doping does go on in russian sport there are russians who have taken drugs to perform turn hans their performance but i would add to that its happened every country on the planet in any case you know this is just the nature of sport in the 21st century i do believe russia has been singled out largely because of region coughs claims how do you say things playing out since this revelation it had to put money on it you know not being on r. T. And made predictions before and sometimes though right sometimes theyve been wrong i dont think that this will change the status quo i think there is so much political will to keep russia out of sport at the moment that there is very little likelihood of the court of arbitration ruling against return cough has cost more professor of sociology at Aston University and a former sports and media lecturer thank you for your time my pleasure. Now the u. K. As Police Watchdog is investigating the case of a stop and search where police flushed the car window of a black man off they wrongfully accused him of drug possession ironically the man in question was driving home from a t. V. Interview you had just given about his experience with institutionalized racism specifically about being stopped for such as his 1st stage of the incident filmed by the man himself. Make sure not and go through. The last night. After coming from a chancel into the specific legal cannot get stopped by the police lived with it. Of late on an interview without stops just to check my phone or situation would just leave the traffic just to stop me. And implied i was putting things in my waist just as i saw them clearly there wasnt anything there it was there was no drugs this never ever drugs in my life never had this shit at stake in any illegal in my life the video footage is clear to all under windows smashed my hands i did not was it. Something that. Does go through my head a lot of. Evil in a seat at least it was an hour. Yes quite traumatic for me but it was. A response to a Police Spokesperson claims the man had been detained after failing to comply with directions from officers command of the police force in question asked for the publics report any similar cases now that incident comes a year since police in england and wales were given powers to randomly search people in order to fight knife crime critics have always said the policy created more opportunities for racial profiling according to anti search activists black people are 9 times more likely to be stopped compared to white people they also claim the changes made it more difficult to hold office as accountable. Again believes the criticism is justified. Every my notice are more likely to be chanted by Police Forces in the. Than anyone knows of native heritage something of experience personally ive experienced it with the way that extensively sometimes and i know a lot of people give me similar stories that resonate with it is a reason why everyones complain about this because you got to see that not everyone carries an out not everyone carries any sort of weapon and reasonably about this is more so than the manner that they treat it well but in the. Criticism not. To minorities very much just that. American rapper kanye west has announced hes stopping pop for politics by entering the race for the white house if so it would pick him against his long standing buddy donald trump however the music star has already missed key deadlines in many states although that hasnt stopped some high profile figures throwing that support behind him. We appreciate it very much jim apple for kids are just as bright and just as challenged white kids in jims defense ive traveled with him and watched him hes a diligent reporter has lost a lot of the right hand of yours either. Joe who knows her leaned forward and whispered some encourage men telling her that she was doing great. Keep doing. You know people expect that if youre black you have democrat. College dropout kind. Of thing this kind. Of thing see even he even he thinks that i dont think he has any chance the man is a narcissist and has no idea how are going there are 6 isnt going to get even by running well just contributes to the whole surface temperature is not in the right position to be president. Will be another job like donald trump i have to root for kanye right now because i love how does not want to go against the grain right now dont think he knows hes doing is a little nuts and i think this is all a p. R. Stunt crazier things have happened so i think it is a better chance seriously that must make such a huge. What is a kind of west point offer nothing is not going to offer anything additionally the only thing you will do is well split the vote for democrats the people who are on the conservative side the republicans theyre not going to vote for kind he was he might attract the youthful but the youth vote has never and i would say probably will never turn out to be such a large influence on the election somebody in my age group of 14 over theyre not going to vote for kanye west and not out of any animosity towards him but looking at what would he actually be a car able to comfort. Those russian Design Studio with me enjoying attention from me trying to gauge well what he did mostly when it turns out theres no human involvement spot on this story off to this sort of break to stay with that. We go to work. Straight hold. On ill show fame the wrong. Roles just all. In the world to get to shape our disdain for the conflict and ticket and in games from an equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

We all know the score with any of you companies fossil fuels a so last century green energy is the way forward its good for the planet and whats good for earth must be good for people right well it sounds out green as you companies can face the same challenges and be guilty of the same controller sees as the dirty cousins you cues that misconduct around the world of facts the business of human rights Resource Sense identified nearly 200 other geishas of abuses relating to Renewable Energy projects just over the last 10 years the results of the benchmarks suggest that none of the Companies Analyzed the currently fully meeting their responsibility to respect human rights as defined by the un Guiding Principles list does sound so whos behind some of those cases e.

They asked always to suspend the project to examine the effects it would have on local communities more weight so as to disregard the requests and go ahead anyway after all that is used more important than if you dear after careful consideration the ministry has concluded that there is no basis for stopping the building of the store here Wind Turbines many countries have committed to Carbon Neutrality by 2050 or even earlier to hit those ambitious targets both countries and Companies House act fast big will have to ensure they dont turn from heroes villains as they go about their mission of saving the planet.
