Its interesting because because of the dialogue is key over just yelling and debate all the time that you see on the other channel that is key which is the. Quickly but very quickly but has the Republican Party drifted over to know youve been trying to change youve been trying to get them to change have you seen any of that change in what youre trying to do over there change from what just just a little bit of time to just making it a little bit less of the kind of corporate type of mass that the Republican Party was before donald ran.

As we go to break Court Watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics weve covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t. V. Dot com coming up the controversial topics keep on brewing as or over sean stone talks the olympic doping scandal with David Wallechinsky president of the International Society of the olympic historian stay tuned for watching the hawks. Across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to me this is the simple song alone even some company elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us the robust. Miss you guys you got to pick him up because. This is. Just because you know put it up for you but then left 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 our lives to this. Day downwards we want to. Be rude but im stephen both in the task hollywood guy will suspect every proud american first of all im just george bush and honored to do so this is my buddy max famous finance. Just a little bit different. With all the drama happening in our country and. Every day americans. Really start to bridge the gap this is the great american. Treating and sports is nothing to laugh at just like Everything Else in our lives it tends to be politicized to no end to the patriots for example who drew the nations ire of this past week and thanks in no small part to their history deflating footballs and looking for corners to cut or we could even look inside the white house where the president s favorite pastime is fueled numerous investigation investigative adlabs analyzing his integrity at the game of golf. For the biggest of what a cheating story turned Political Drama look no further than this years Winter Olympics in south korea where the athletes from russia will not be allowed to compete this week under their nations flag a decision officially made to punish the country for what the i. O. C. Alleges a government sponsored doping program but that many critics see as a political to attack in tune with the new cold war policies emanating from washington d. C. Sean stone recently sat down with David Wallechinsky president of the International Society of olympic historians to hear his take on the scandal. Please update us on what it sees recent decision been guarding russias participation in this years Winter Olympics the International OlympicCommittee Following in several reports Mclaren Report. The oswald report the schmidt report ben russia russian athletes from competing at this years Winter Olympics. But only banned certain athlete and they banned the flag the russian flag and the Russian National anthem but theyre allowing more than one hundred fifty russian athletes to compete has a limb pick athletes of russia oh and are fourteen they call them now and then we just had this decision there were forty three athletes who had been totally banned by the International Olympic committee. They appealed them to whats called the court of arbitration for sport c. A. s they are the ultimate Decision Making body in the world of sport not just the olympics and c. A. s dissed declared that eleven of those athletes they upheld the ban but the other twenty eight they said there was insufficient evidence they said this is not to say that these twenty eight athletes are innocent but that we could not come up with. The actual evidence linking them with the state sponsored doping scheme that took place in russia and what does that mean exactly that russian athletes participate from russia but they dont represent russia how does that work good question i mean they you know since they can have the word russia on there are their outfits but they cant be the official russian colors that these different colors. Its kind of. A lot of people look at the International Community as being wishy washy for trying to come up with a compromise to not punish clean russian athletes. And then they did punish a couple of the officials hard core so its itll be weird its an odd compromise. As a story and do you think that russia actually should be banned as a whole for this years olympics even the athletes who werent caught doping i thought that the international into communities should have banned all russian athletes from the pinch on Winter Olympics even the clean ones because even though its not their fault. The message youre sending is you can cheat and get away with it. And unfortunately that appears to be even more the case with the court of arbitration for sport decision so. You know sometimes people different people learn different lessons in the United States so when we had the watergate i mean you know hearings. Some of us learned while United States is a good justices cision system but other people learned a we can cheat better and so im afraid that thats what happened with this this russian doping situation they were guilty in the orders and the system was created from the top down and except for not being able to use the flag and National Anthem they pretty much got away with it but its an interesting conundrum and weve seen so many olympic athletes whove been caught after the fact of the gold medalists like marion jones and carl lewis marion jones is a very interesting case because she never failed to dock with the test ever and yet she was guilty and the only reason it came out was that there was a criminal case in the United States against the skull of the bulk of case in which she was proven to have perjured herself and in the course of that investigation she admitted that she had taken steroids and her medals were taken away from her but she had passed every doping test youd ever taken which is the frustrating thing with the docking system right now whats interesting to me is that more americans have actually been caught doping at the olympics and russians that say that more americans are actually doping the russians but as some doctors put it everyone is doping. So doesnt that just prove that inforce mit doesnt work. Whats interesting about the enforcement is that there is a good step was taken which is that the International Community now keeps the dumping samples for ten years so that as as testing equipment improves you could have retroactive. Disqualifications which is what youve had now with the beijing olympics and the london olympics they they passed the test at the time from many Different Countries and then the retested ten years later or nine years later and they fail and so this is like a warning to athletes and their trainers who want to dope you can get away with it the day of the olympics but down the line you may lose it so i think that was that appeared to be a good sign. But again when you have a very complicated cheating system such as the russian government used replacing pool you know im going to because what the russian russian system did they picked out like three dozen athletes and said youre probably going to do well in sochi give us a clean sample now they give the clean samples they hide them away freezer then they started giving them a cocktail they call that the duchess cocktail and i which combined. Steroids with alcohol i actually found the most amusing detail was that this duchess cocktail for the men the steroids were mixed with vodka for the women they were mixed with their move so the athletes actually didnt have much choice and if you read carefully the Mclaren Report they make it clear were not blaming any of the Laboratory Workers because it was clear that if they didnt cooperate theyd lose their job. And so the mclaren record and the international and Committee Said that we want to punish the people on top not the people on the bottom but the athletes took these drugs and its technically a complicated case and whats interesting about the decision the just happen is that. Eleven athletes were disqualified because we dont know because they havent released the actual details of why why some were disqualified why some werent. That will come in coming days presumably but apparently there was excess salt. In the tested. Samples which you die if you have that much salt so in the eleven of them they pass the other twenty eight they could not find access samples and the russian laboratories would not allow access. To their samples inside the laboratory so the World Antidoping Agency was not able to to follow through on that and thats why these twenty eight got away with it was interesting to me is in this new documentary by Brian Fogle Ikarus he documents of experiences with doping under russias chief scientist gregory cough and whats ironic is that brian doesnt get better as a cyclist as a result of using these p. E. D. s his performance actually drops off in the Previous Year so isnt there maybe a wrong assumption that p. D. s are always in to give you an advantage absolutely i mean you still just because youre taking steroids doesnt mean youre going to be better used to have to train you still have to be better than everybody else its not like youre just automatically going to get it. And you have to be good on the day of the event. And you know the way that in the filmmaker isnt in others used to you stop taking the drugs at a certain point and what they tried to do with the sochi olympics was to by replacing the. Dirty samples with clean ones it allowed them to keep taking the steroids later including during the olympics. But yeah you know you cant just. Take steroids and sit back in your chair and are going to be a great athlete and then work that way and you know the argument that is often used in track and field or weightlifting is the trainer the doctor will say to the athlete if you dont take steroids youll be the only one in the final who isnt youre going to lose and this is an old argument that goes back way way way way back in the history in the mix before there were steroids you know were going to give you a raw egg and sherry and youre going to be better than everybody else you know but they go ok coach as i do it you know watching this little history of the Substance Abuse issue at the olympics you know the 1980s were a bonanza nine hundred eighty was considered the chemical lympics but i think sixty eight was the first year that they really started tracking Substance Abuse and b. D. s well the one nine hundred sixty it was when they first started testing in the olympics for drugs i mean if you can go back to one thousand know for you know thomas hicks who won the gold medal in the marathon you see photograph of him afterwards. Like this well theyd been giving him strychnine in brandy throughout the race and at that time that was legal but you know you dont want to take a lot of strychnine and brandy ever much less when youre running you know twenty six miles but so this idea of unhandsome is gone on forever whatever to make you a better athlete and it wasnt until the sixtys that they wont wait a minute we need to start testing. The problem was that. You know it was easy to infiltrate particularly by the east germans infiltrated the system they were part of the doping commission they saw the way the tests work they brought all the information back and they devised ways to get around it. This Weekend Hours before the big game hundreds of protesters took to the streets of minneapolis minnesota the take a knee in solidarity with an f l player collin capper nick and to speak out against Police Brutality in the shadow of footballs biggest day.

Got out. Of it was. Just the night. I. Was. Wall to wall fake news about what wiki leaks chief Julian Assange is claiming after media reports said hed lost his bid to have a u. K. Arrest warrant against him dropped the hearing still continues. U. S. Republicans allege the infamous dossier this behind many of the triangle russia collusion claims may have been based on info provided by the Clinton Campaign as well as partly funded by the clinton foundation. Human rights watch reveals how strong the anti psychotic drugs that are being misused by u. S. Nursing homes. Are you so sleepy did a. One year assume he was. Totally drugged you can even talk to. A warm welcome you watching artie international with me nicky aaron good to have you with us this hour julie in a song has accused the media of fake news after numerous reports had lost a Court Hearing on tuesday a british judge was deciding whether an arrest warrant against him should be dropped the wiki leaks chief has claimed on twitter that the hearing continues looks into the confusion. There are four points being looked at by the judge and on my first point it appears to have not gone in Julian Assange on his favor and that has led a lot of Media Outlets to. Publish stories saying that hes lost the hearing overall judean assigned to his project has said that thats all fake news hes lost the first of four points there are three more to go and according to him if he wins any one of the subsequent three points that will mean that the arrest warrant needs to be overturned and we live will have won the case so already there are two alternative narratives from the Mainstream Media and from the particularly from the wiki leaks editor inside the Ecuadorian Embassy hair but could he be packing his bags thats the big question because technically this arrest warrant is the only sort of legal impediment standing in his way and preventing him from walking out of the embassy tech a free man really its an restaurant that was issued by the metropolitan police for him getting bail back in two thousand and twelve and that was when he was wanted for questioning in sweden relegations of Sexual Assault that case in sweden has since been dropped so it was sanjay legal team are arguing that that renders this arrest warrant in the u. K. Totally useless so in lawyer speak theyre saying in the hearing today that its lost its purpose and its function for doing it is on the big issue has always been this sort of looming potential threat of extradition to the u. S. Thats why he never went to sweden to face questioning he said he could never get guarantees from prosecutors in sweden that they wouldnt send him home to washington thats why his Legal Team Im so worried about the consequences of him walking out of the embassy in london why is he said worried about the u. S. Will his work as editor of wiki leaks over the years essentially rubbed washington up the wrong way theyve got a bone or two to take with us anjan politicians stateside have made no secret of their dislike. Take a look at what theyve had to say in recent years United States do something to stop mr sausage we look at. This guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the United States got ought to be and im not for the Death Penalty so if im not for the defense we want to do it illegally shoot the son of a wiki leaks walks like a Hostile Intelligence Service and talks like a Hostile Intelligence Service ignorant or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons the legal team in the hearing or arguing about talking about the difficult conditions that Julian Assange is living on in this very small confined space in the embassy that just a few rooms. A few rooms big back in two thousand and sixteen as well the u. N. Rules that gina sound is being arbitrarily detained thats something thats likely to mention in the hearing today and even last month a couple of doctors went to examine Julian Assange they were appealing for his release this saying that they dig famine to him and he desperately needs medical attention the sort of medical attention that you can get inside that these are all points that are being raised in the hearing that is taking place and we have to wait and see what happens and hope that the Mainstream Media end up agreeing on what was actually taking place inside that courtroom. And some of his embassy saga began back in two thousand and ten when sweden launched a rape allegations against him two years later silence and to the Ecuadorian Embassy in london asking for asylum shortly after the u. K. Issued an arrest warrant for the wiki leaks both for breaching bail conditions but ecuador granted him asylum in may last year sweden drops the rape investigation against his songs but he didnt leave the embassy fearing arrest by u. K. Police. Lets not discuss the issue further now with on get down as he is a know professor and always university of oslo mr danas good to see you thank you for joining us on r. T. So the wiki leaks lawyers have asked the court to withdraw the whirring saying its lost its purpose something you would agree with yes indeed ive just read the routing by the judge its typical for this kind of case its very short its very robust theres not much argument the judge says i dont agree with i agree with and thats really the whole reasoning and the point is that in this round the judge only looked at the very technical question of interpretation of the british doctor doing the statutes here the Public Interest reasons the human rights. I understand thats for and you. Expect also and youre hearing before you call we hear the judges news on it and i fully expect that judge to lift. The warrant. Theres no reason for it and on thats not something the judge really discussed in this ruling today was a very technical. Question of interpretation on the statute has or not we will have a new hearing on these issues which are at the core of this case and i. Dont expect the judge. To drop this. So that. Well have to wait and see what happens even if a sound does away today he still faces he might be extradited to the us do you think these fears are justified. You know mr saunders i would be very very concerned and the clips you just showed indicate the intensity in the campaign against him and his court case has not given him no reason in in that court case to have a lot of confidence in the way the legal system treats the person like you like mr sarge it is. Difficult to understand the way the courts at different stages have all good it must be said in the English Court and in the u. K. Supreme court thats been dissents and different views the whole way they have expressed doubts and that is in relation to the or original arrest warrant giving effect to the arrest warrant from sweden which will then not know has as as has been wrong so what is left is a question all should be punished for not having turned up for the Court Hearing and to have this arrest warrant then to actually take him into custody again in some prison cells but this is disproportionate on whatever this situation would be on the basis of interpretating the. Statutes here you have in this human rights law in back in the background you have european human rights law and you have United Nations human rights law and you clearly say that any of her the measures against the haunch on the basis you now have would be disproportionate and would constitute arbitrary detention as far as i can see it and then you have brought up all the reports what if the u. S. The monsoon extradition request is extradition and how the u. K. Courts would. And you that. Thats the reason why i. Would like. And all the country where i. Would not collaborate. Part in getting him extradited to face a trial that. My son seen as law professor at the university of oslo thank you for joining us its been great to get your take on the story. But a shack a lorry love who won monday won his fight against extradition to the u. S. Visited julian a stange at the embassy the man is accused of carrying out Cyber Attacks on the f. B. I. And nasa among other organizations while wiki leaks is also known for publishing classified information about american politics and the work of its Security Services clearly the two men have a lot in common and had plenty to discuss speaking to journalists love said he wished to silence look in the case were following the continuing hearing and well be bringing you all the latest updates on the final conclusion of course as soon as we get it. U. S. Republicans have released the documents alleging the man behind the trumped russia dossier was not only funded by the Clinton Campaign but was also fed information by its mr steeles memorandum states that the report was information that came from a foreign subsumes who is in touch with a friend of the clintons it is troubling enough that the Clinton Campaign funded mr steeles work but that these
