And r. T. E. Obtained video from wiki leaks Julian Assange made it just before his internet was cut off at the Ecuadorian Embassy in london in which he discusses a very broad range of topics. Youre going to freak out a little bit because yes i bring in the other the. Most of it was a column about how the result was this that seems absolutely great good luck with. Our broadcast direct from our studios this is our trash on sean thomas glad to have you with us. All right davey it World Antidoping Agency has voted to reinstate russias antidrug agency the body was suspended in two thousand and fifteen over an alleged state sponsored doping scandal earlier my colleague colum bray more details from our correspondent. Going back after twenty fifteen november when. The allegations of state sponsored doping campaign kicked off. After. Water basically told there are thirty one things rosado has to do in order to be reinstated theres been no problem whatsoever with the twenty nine of them which included inviting the u. K. Antidoping Agency Experts to hold training for the personnel change the entire staff. Hold monthly ordered by the World Antidoping Agency no problem whatsoever the two things that remained on the compliance list were public admittance of the findings of the Mclaren Report and here is what the sports minister mr cole of course we caught up with him earlier had to say about that the decision is crucial for russia weve worked for a long time together with the International Anti doping agency or the Sports Community we have reformed and he doping system we never denied the existence of anti doping violations we will fully contribute to fulfilling the demands left on the russians legislation and in fact what a splendid in detail in that statement which was published earlier today saying that on september thirteenth the russian minister of sport sent a letter to water which amounts to an acceptance of all the findings of the International Living could be to report which itself indorse the core findings of the Water Commission the mclaren Investigation Report including that and number of individuals within the ministry of sport and it subordinate entities were involved in the manipulations of the antidoping system in russia you can see that this was enough to persuade wada to reinstate restarted and the second point very important one was granting access to samples kept in the moscow board story under federal investigation that hasnt happened yet but what it was very clear that there has only until december thirty first which is less than four months from now to give access to that the board sorry if that doesnt happen. Goes back into the wilderness of noncompliance so you know people are saying that. Russia hasnt comply and. You know theyre theyre wrong basically because we can see by the statement that its in the works but it couldnt just be about ticking boxes on the checklist he must have been a difficult decision off everything everybodys been through on that its definitely been a very difficult decision for water and even in that statement it took knowledge that the decision would be unpopular and would be met with a lot of criticism and in fact for the past week or so the criticism coming towards was way you know everywhere on social media in the in the articles on television. Not only that number of and i dont think agencies in the world including the u. K. The United States new Zealand Australia poland canada they were all urging the president of water not to take the step to reconsider but eventually nine members of the executive board off twelve voted for risottos these statements two of them were against it one of them clearly is the Vice President of water who said that she would never vote for him statement and one person abstained but even now the amount of criticism on water is going through the roof namely the u. S. Antidoping agency chief. He went as far as saying that water needs to be completely reformed off that decision its a blow to clean sport which you know is surprising because how would you expect the country to purify it sport if youre saying that its agency which is destiny which is tasked to purify thats board should not be operational again. The decision that it made was a hard one but it made the decision and now the hard work begins thats a good news tentatively then for risotto what about the school side of things the international expend aeration the russian athletes themselves whats next for them you know i would say people who are criticizing why theyre heavily now are wrong and people who are celebrating this on this side are wrong as well its not about a win its not a last minute goal that russia scored to win the game its a chance that wada gave to the russian Antidoping Agency to have pure clean sport in the country this would change nothing for those athletes who have been accused of dope. Are serving their bands this is all about clean athletes the door is not shot open for them its only theyve been given the chance to open the door into the sport because one of the main conditions of the International Association of athletics federations to reinstate the russian athletes was that it should be operational meaning that you know athletes have to be checked for doping in order to be clean and in order to be participating International Competitions flying the russian flag so essentially this happened now but a lot of work is ahead and make no mistake about it now risotto will be heavily scrutinized and will be heavily checked by wada so its definitely a long road ahead the deputy head of russias Antidoping Agency says the organization has gone to Great Lengths to ensure compliance. The blood of what its been a lot of work this saga has lasted for almost three years a lot of things have been done the russian Antidoping Agency now has a completely me team its been hard work for Russia Sports Ministry as well as wada theyre provided International Expertise to rebuild the capability of russias Antidoping Agency from my viewpoint its a well earned a victory and its not a victory of just one and it is the logical result of all the hard work of those involved at the reinstatement of the result of that i mean this is a turning point indeed in this whole story and i see it get we all hope the rush to get back to. The condo championships and ive seen the shes a day to celebrate a lot of restructuring the result has been made and all the points that. Request that. I see in d. C. Is what makes this decision very important it shows that there is a willingness to change seeing and ive seen pieces work work come. All right the u. S. Has impose new sanctions on china for buying russian fighter jets and a surface to air missiles arties caleb martin has more china slapped with sanctions in response to their purchase of thirty of the su thirty five fighter jets as well as an s. Four hundred Missile System now Heather Nauert the spokesperson for the u. S. State Department Says this is about deterring countries around the world from doing business with russias Defense Industry lets take a listen to what Heather Nauert said explaining these new sanctions on china in response to their purchases will continue to vigorously implement countering americas adversaries through sanctions act and urge all countries to curtail relationships with russias defense and intelligence sectors both of which are linked to malign activities worldwide now. China is not the only country in the world to have purchased the s. Four hundred Missile System from russia its important to note that turkey which is a member of nato and a longtime u. S. Ally has also purchased the ass four hundred Missile System now Heather Nauert was pressed on that and this is what she said you know it goes against our policy to have a nato ally such as turkey use an ast four hundred system part of the problem with that it is that it is not in iraq proposal with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase thats for hundreds and it would trigger cats and im not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world but its not just turkey in fact india is currently in the final stages of purchasing an s. Four hundred Missile System of its own and there are a number of u. S. Allies around the world that are also planning to buy as four hundred Missile Systems we will look at it saudi arabia a very key ally of the United States in the middle east is in the process of buying us four hundred missiles so is could tahrir and iraq the question must be raised why is it that shia is being slapped with sanctions for its purchasing not just of the s four hundred but also the su thirty five jet fighter but the question is why are these other countries not being subject to sanctions is the United States actually prepared to enforce these sanctions across the board against anyone who would buy these Missile Systems or is it being enforced selectively. Because live now to author and historian Gerald Horne Joe thanks for being with us here in our two international as always its a pleasure. So the u. S. Says these sanctions are aimed at punishing russia not china do you think this is the real motive here. That hardly passes the giggle to us in the last few days both the New York Times and the Washington Post have reported in front page stories that beijing and washington or the verge of a new cold war recalled that in the last week or so mr trump has just slapped her or taxes on about two hundred billion dollars worth of goods that are coming from china there are frequent confrontations between the chinese navy and the u. S. Navy in the South China Sea there is a lot of hysteria right now in United States about the prospect of china being in the passing lane that is to say sir p. Has one thing going against him and that is that he is a lever that someone who voted to remain but is now committed to leaving which doesnt sometimes doesnt convince the hardcore leave so lets go to the next politician that is the current foreign secretary take a look at what the list said about him jeremy hunt course near the front of the park coming up on the right so thats the current foreign secretary but he was formally the Health Secretary and hes seen as a bit of a political survival despite the fact that he presided over the Junior Doctors scandal has so hes not likely to have many fans and amongst the medical profession but ask them which list goes on to point out he is a real dark horse in this potential race to succeed to reason may and then last but not least we have the current defense secretary take a look at what the list says about him govern move. In full Campaign Mode but very reliant on pm controlling her own departure point so yes getting williamson is very much treasonous favorite but the likelihood of her having a say in who succeed to succeed isnt seen. Very big to me i have to say this all reads a bit like them burn books from the movie mean girls but the list is important because it appears to confirm that regardless of the mechanics of it and how it happens britain is leaving the e. U. In march twenty nineteen added it it appears that once this quite frankly task is over once the poison chalice of briggs it can at least be pushed a little bit to the side the party is going to want a fresh face to take it forward now downing street the conservative party never normally comment on leaks weve approached them about it weve asked them about it downing street have said asked the conservative party the conservative party have said speak to downing street about it so it doesnt look like theres much desire to talk about it and i think the list pretty much speaks for itself. It really has been released which is the last two to have been pursued a long and drawn out process and it will take many years before we are able to make the arguments that we know should and should win which is the constitutional argument that he has the right to the First Amendment for his publishing activities no publisher should have to face this join the sun has always said that hes happy to face british justice but not at the risk of facing american injustice we entirely accept that he can and will face any process within the related to potential bio proceedings but he should be able to do that with the assurance that he will not be extradited to the United States to face prosecution for having exercise internationally protect the rights of free speech to publish material in the public interest. Court has ordered National Front Leader Marine Le Pen to go under psychiatric test it is connected to twitter posts she made three years ago which show the terms of islamic state. Is in paris with more. Well those photos were published towards the end of two thousand and fifteen just weeks off to paris attacks in the november of that year and it came of a criticism from a t. V. Journalist who tried to say that le pens party which was then called the National Front was essentially the same thing as the terror group isis so no shame france she tweeted pictures along with a statement saying this is trying to distance her party away from that group well since her immunity as an m. E. P. Was lifted this year shes now facing those charges circulating violent messages that could incite terrorism or seriously harm Human Dignity and as a result of this Ongoing Investigation the court has ordered her to have psychiatric assessment with iran but earlier this year donald trump that agreement sparking international condemnation. Being a former advisor to Irans Nuclear negotiating team says the dispute between pompei and kerry reflects a deep rift within the u. S. Establishment. As far as mr kerry is concerned yaz been a pause to a number of Foreign Policy positions are beside ministration therefore this issue highlights the growing Political Division within the United States. And. That the democrats feel an opportunity to. Undermine president trumps presidency and his prospects for a second term by attacking him on Foreign Policy issues including iran so i think that the iran issue is part of a broader set of Foreign Policy issues there. Will inevitably come to the foreground as we draw closer to the midterm elections in november. The chair of Russias Federation Council says she believes reunification between the two koreas looking increasingly possible after the pyongyang summit valentino in my very end spoke to our team during the second eurasian womens forum in st petersburg. What does that hear one year ago it was hard to imagine the sash positive changes could be possible the threat of Armed Conflict was in the air i had been to north korea before and its true that things are very different now the war like rathore it has been dropped and now we are hearing talk of a peaceful outcome i believe that kim jong il and wants peace now there is hope that the process will continue in the same productive manner agreements have been reached on specific economic projects united railways in growth and modernization it feels possible that north and south korea can become united again as one nation but it will take time and patience and the right steps and grantees from all sides i think the process should continue in the current direction.
