A lot was thought sparks reporter the original cast rolling which effectively upheld the principle of innocent until Proven Guilty saying that there was insufficient evidence that those russian athletes had been doping this was the original cast in twenty eight cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that an antidoping rule violation was committed yet leitz concerned its been such an emotional roller coaster imagine for these athletes the real saw grafter months weeks years of preparation they had this glimmer of hope last week with the cast the solution that they could go to the games represent their flag their country their of them and cetera now though thats been overturned there are still legal routes appeals they could go down but of course the Opening Ceremony has now just finished the games are about to begin whatever Legal Options are available they simply wont have time now to register them here some reactions from those athletes many of whom were hoping to even make a debut at their first winter olympics. I have no words. I was hoping that cas would rule in our favor right now i dont know what to do im disappointed but of course i wont give up on sport ive still got a lot ahead of me i will compete and win medals for my country im through the very end we were hoping that the decision would go in our favor now i feel sadness and sorrow but i will compete in every competition i can if i have enough strength in the opportunity to compete in the next olympics i will prepare for them i had no emotions left we had all our bags packed and were just waiting for a decision i think such situations make you stronger emotionally. We spoke to a lawyer representing the russian team you told us the i. O. C. Has failed to make any distinction between clean and guilty russian athletes play naive view those decisions are legally wrong and unjust yes i call them disguised sanctions because thats what they are those athletes are being denied participation to the Olympic Games when they are clean cleats in fact they are being put in the very same situation as athletes who have doped and who have been sanctioned and suspended when they are clean athletes they dont even know exactly for two reasons they were denied access and they were not given the opportunity to prove these allegations one so yes those are disguised sanctions. Hundreds of supporters of a far right party have clashed with police in the central italian city of maturity just a week ago much for the racially motivated shooting which left six injured. And. I. The shooter was targeting african Migrants Police found a copy of hitlers mine kampf in his apartment as well as a flag with a far right symbol the shooter said he wanted to avenge the death of an italian woman allegedly killed by a nigerian asylum seeker. The incident is fuel concerns about the rise of neo fascist forces in italy national as well as foreign media of weighed in on this the shooters lawyer told journalists that his client was greeted as a hero when he arrived at the Prison Police say that racial and religious violence has soared in recent years here are the shocking numbers that have come from the Italian Police force they say hate crimes have jumped ten fold in just four years and the issues raised concern at the very highest levels with italys Justice Minister revealing he was threatened when he visited the matter on to shooting victims in hospital. I received threats against me and my family but i was the first is to go away when the time comes to take action so i. Mean while a video has appeared in the media showing the natural to shoot a shaking hands with the leader of the right wing league ignored moreover the shooter stood as a candidate for the party at local elections last year invited the league not councillor to debate the issue. If this guy did what he did he became a creaminess so we are very strict about that and our. We pons pencil in the next election the people will use it to vote and this is the only way we act any violent act carried out by by an immigrant it seems like the response is is also considerable surely this is not good for the country as a whole how do you feel about whats been reported the rise of nationalism and fascism in italy we are just telling you the people we need lo we need contour of account to be we cannot lose our identity because italy if this mood of immigration will rise and we will lose. A dainty ally of your party the former soviet belasco and hes called migrants a time bomb now is fairly aggressive rhetoric its only going to further divide people you said your weapon is your your pension should you be trying to bring people together we found always the right way to act together and when we have been in the government the last time in two thousand eighty two two thousand and eleven we practically stopped the arrival of Illegal Immigrants in two thousand and eleven we had only. Four thousand arrival in one year in last year we had the more than one hundred forty thousand arrival of Illegal Immigrants in italy so you can see the difference and this is a bomb because at the most of those people are illegal they will never go get the. Paper refugee because just the five maximum ten percent of them is a real refugee. France is unable to confirm whether the Syrian Government has used chemical weapons thats what the countrys defense minister said in a recent interview. When theyre designed guess you push. Your. Bar do. Absolutely. Lets get more on this story now cross to our correspondent in paris charlotte now what were hearing from the sounds quite different what weve heard in the past. Absolutely here you heard categorically that the defense minister saying there that there was no concrete evidence yet just two days ago the foreign minister here in france had a very different story pointing the blame of that alleged attack squarely on the Syrian Government. Will. Be judged by. Well both when this is there were referring to an alleged attack that took place on sunday just in the last few days and its not the first time that the Syrian Government has been accused of carrying out gas attacks using gas such as chlorine which causes breathing difficulties and chemical irritation skin burns back in january there was also accusations made that the government had carried out attacks on rebel held areas though those accusations came from a number of groups including the syrian observatory for human rights which is being questioned by many in terms of its validity and its accuracy in the past and also by the White Helmets of voluntary group which some have accused of actually aiding the executions that take place in syrian territories by terror groups others have said that they merely are removing the bodies to ensure that there is proper burial for them and also we know that the u. S. Has laid blames to these attacks at other areas in fact they actually bought russia and the full rate when it comes to those attacks are. The u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson when he was in france last month actually said that this was russias fault. Whoever conducted the. Russia ultimately burrs responsibility for the victims and. Countless others targeted with chemical weapons since russia became involved in syria. Well the secretary of defense in the u. S. Changed that is actually went even further than that suggesting that its not just chlorine attacks but also that sarin has been used in another chemical agent in these attacks although he did also admit that they were in europe and evidence that could back up those claims now the u. N. Is of course investigating the allegations all these attacks in syria on some of the areas in the country but it remains to be seen whether the probes will ever be able to identify any concrete evidence as to whether those attacks indeed took place in who indeed was behind them and of course whether they will be able to agree and find a result objective enough for everybody to agree on. Which capital our correspondent Charles Dubin ski there thank you. In other news the American Ambassador has lashed out at an israeli newspaper after it published an article that was critical of his policies this all began after an israeli rabbi living in a disputed settlement was killed by a palestinian man hundreds of people attended the funeral with Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu vowing that the killer would be hunted down and the promise was kept the day after the attack Israeli Forces carried out a raid searching for the sale it but it resulted in clashes with one person dead several others wounded apparently none of them being the killer reacting on twitter to the death of the prominent israeli rabbi the u. S. Ambassador recalled how twenty years ago he donated. Ambulance to the disputed settlement where the rubber was killed. Thirty years ago gave an ambulance to harbor hoping it would be used to deliver healthy babies instead a man from harbor was just murdered by terrorists leaving behind a wife and four children palestinian leaders have praised the killer praying for the bin girl family or following that tweet the israeli newspaper haaretz published an article suggesting that the ambassador for one therapy is selective and that it doesnt seem to cover palestinians it also accused him of being believing in encouraging war crimes and violations of International Law that criticism left the u. S. Ambassador quite upset he tweeted what has become of her its for Young Children a sitting shiver meaning the morning ritual for their murdered father and this publication called their community a mountain of curses of the hebrew name of the disputed settlement translates as the mountain of blessing at the end of the tweet the ambassador asks have they no decency so we put that question to good in levy the man behind the her ex article which upset the u. S. Diplomat he told us american policy on settlements has complicated an already difficult issue. Its quite unusual that them bussard or bothers to a take a local media but they see my newspaper haaretz and myself we will stay in this criticism the United States declares at least he clears the eightys against the settlements project and here we have in a bus ago who is one of the biggest friends of the occupation one of the biggest friends of the settlements project contributing money to the settlements of the most extreme once this by itself his legs or lack of this is a question good gets back to his excellent see them bastard all doesnt the United States have no decency and i think that if harbor how would have been there in the other settlements would have been the things for most of the israelis would have been much easier and much more simple and same for the palestinians obviously. Woman in california whos been a prominent face of the anti harassment meeting movement has found herself at the center of a Sexual Misconduct storm shes been accused by least two men of inappropriate behavior on his jaclyn video has the story. Democratic assemblywoman Christina Garcia has a reputation as a fierce advocate for women and has gained National Recognition for condemning Sexual Misconduct all over the place isnt that the best story you we should not be on your shoulders. But there are places like the power that they can protect their time magazines silence breakers issue centering on speaking out against harassment even featured garcias face in the artwork and inclusion that garcia was humbled by posting on twitter that she was proud of the work being done and the issue was clearly personal in october to the New York Times that she has also been sexually assaulted by men in her workplace multiple people have grabbed my butt grabbed my breasts were talking about c. B. And o. B. s. Earlier this week garcia even helped pass a bill granting whistleblower protections to legislative stuff who are victims of Sexual Misconduct announcing after the bills approval that you were not standing alone and yet news has now broken up two men accusing garcia of Sexual Harassment one of the alleged victims is a former legislative staffer highly ironic considering the bill she helped pass is meant to protect legislative staff probes already been launched into the incident alleged to have happened back in two thousand and fifteen after an Assembly Softball GameDanielle Farrow claims that while she was intoxicated garcia rubbed his back and squeezed his buttocks before attempting to do more than reportedly quickly extracted himself from the situation and it looks like this may even be a pattern for garcia as a second accuser story is eerily similar an unnamed lobbyist alleges that a drunk accosted him last may making graphic sexual proposals while trying to grab his crotch she was whispering roo close and i could smell the booze and see she was pretty. She looked at me for a second then sit acidic. He says he adamantly rejected the offer at this point garcias camp has only responded to the first accusation the details of these kinds have never. Been brought to my attention until today i can also say i have zero recollection of engaging in appropriate behavior and such behavior is inconsistent with my value but if weve learned anything from the me too movement its that accusations carry more weight than denials and once one person comes forward the floodgates tend to open. With legendary rock band queen recently on it with a Lifetime Achievement award at the latest grammys parties actually returns he spoke to brian may he also happens to have a ph d. In astrophysics now you can watch the full discussion is well worth a watch ranges from the influence of music and science on our lives to fake news coming up in the latest episode of going underground which will be airing on saturday if you cant wait for that is a quick preview you said that one of the major issues facing humanity is fake news from wall street yes on a big year i think so because you know as a as a i know you want to be able it will not say which World Leaders but which were which were what it is what they want to exist is full of people there for the wrong reasons. I spent a lot of time lobbying in our own parliament in england and i have to say as so many people are there for reasons that you dont want to know and its hard to find people who actually have a mission to make the world a better place and look after. People and animals rather than look after themselves i mean i hate to be critical but i do think the whole system encourages the wrong kind of people because encourage people who want power and and make money for the themselves and their friends you know i would love to see it all shaken up. We appreciate your time thanks for joining us on r. T. This evening do stick around if you can ill be back with the latest see you in half an hour. Im. Loathe i am a mother of god. Im good at im not a. Loser you know when you dont usually see the teacher so i think. They could put it. To me not through only ten. Let alone. Said. Clement no seven to say that a. Few speak french. Most of. Them send them all to new. The council itself to. The pentagon recently released its new Nuclear Posture review its critics are stunned not only the use of Nuclear Weapons is now more thinkable but its also the threshold for their use has been lowered dr strangelove would be proud is the world facing another danger of arms race. For. Some i might. Have become blood into our culture and weve had children grow up playing. On the computer this war has somehow been a mistake a bit as entertainment. To russia theres nothing funny about it this is serious russia will be the last to give up Nuclear Weapons because russia regards Nuclear Weapons as the. Inflation a waltz by the superior covetousness. Now if the United States pay more attention to. The north Korean Nuclear issue i personally believe the us coming can come up just lucians but deicing to us has been paying too much attention for military solutions but i hope the us with pay more attention. To the north Korean Nuclear power. Welcome on an old system calling will show this week which i can use this year rick for the announcement video assistant referee as you can hear a lot more about us ball at the world cup and we go behind the scenes of an evening with yours truly first though lets go to meits in chairman a where i interviewed a man who could have played for the defending world champions germany but instead chose to play for nigeria i sat down with a very interesting man to talk about the super eagles hopes for the summer as well. Of course one of the two teams that will be in russia at the world cup this summer theyre in a very tough group as well. Argentina you know my city and our favorites of course we featured earlier on in the series weve come to chat to f. S. B. Mites depend on you know a cheery and super eagles defender. Lets go have a chance outs. You were injured last local. Paper disappointed were you to not make that squalled and how excited are you if you stay free to sit to go to russia for them to the biggest football tournament in the world i think when i got that injury in two thousand and fourteen and the first moment i didnt even realize that im going to miss the world cup because it was my first cap. But the coach back then was quite serious and he told me afterwards i think he even made a statement after they had gotten immunity by france and he missed me i think that was the moment i really realized what a big chance that would have been i saw them there with i saw the super eagles flying and they did quite well off and was it was tough i still dont realize that this is going to happen i think i start relates. More and more but i think the first of the reaction when we have the final whistle when we qualified or with is that i broke down crying and froze and used to call it was not really the super it also did was i wasnt relief i just realized ok. Its going to happen but still that feeling that big excitement is not its still to come. When all of the change came out so im sure you will and you get what subgroups got you why did you fail i joined the was a group later because i was actually out training at the time they made to drop some of my team mates and the physios they told me already you know you want to know you want to see you like that you know the city of argentina again i think its everyone forgets its its a big challenge but also its a big opportunity the opportunity because i think again nobody will have us on the list and say i think going to be eliminated but i say and most. On my complete team is with me on that point were going to say were going to make it through to the quarter finals to beat whoever whoever comes then if we beat them we will see but of course we want to leave the group stage and thats the biggest course of. If an african country when enough which includes whos going to win the world called its going to be nigeria huge amount of players huge amount of players that have always played in europe and been successful connie culture suppliers do you feel about team spirit now we speak Strong Enough to carry the expectation of the noise here in nation and all of a lot of noise here in liverpool fans that follow may not all seriously hold on their club teams when they support them and theyre always all be on the National Team as well i think it was one coach we had before the super easy always said we have one hundred seventy million coaches out right exactly you know to come up today expectations i think we can make up all expectations but i think we can make them very proud and of course it would be a big sensation and i think if you ask any nigerian like serious. What will you do if if nigeria brings home the world cup they will they will play Something Like i would have never expected that even though they tell us even on twitter everywhere they say yes bring home this world cup make us proud to get that trophy but if we if we would really minutes to get it then it would be beyond the expectation i think that would be what i want to do the worlds Biggest Party probably one of celebration i just heard of it as a kid growing old with having two parents just didnt have really she always like well it was just were all those ones life analogy somehow i want to of course sometimes you thought ok playing for germany certainly in the bad thing they won the world cup two thousand and fourteen but since i never gained attention it was quite clear. In the beginning and i always probably you feel the same because people gave you you different because you look different so you always feel more attracted by that foreign side so yes same with me and therefore it was always this very strong relation to to my manager and having to. Have been told lots of things in the media dont go there and i was told to sign in ukraine i was told to sign the south africa and brazil before world cups dont go if you block dont go to the seri dugouts that area this rice is a lot of got to be honest i havent seen any russians been very friendly does it concern you at all not one thought because. I think from because of the International Language and of course we still see racism in football but if i would think about racism before i think about playing the game and enjoying the world cup then something will be wrong i guess from what youve read enough if you can show he hasnt when he acts and always gets into that stage tonight with it being a global guy everybody playing in each of these late where its going to happen sooner rather than lights or hope but i think the main problem is that if i see germany fights for an example they they build a new structure and it starts with the youth african football as a as in toto you see that there are a lot of problems besides football the focus is not just on building up the future and therefore becoming successful as a nation but its more like temporary things and you have maybe political issues inside of the inside of the border Something Like theres a new president he is lucky that doesnt someone with somebody whos telling the challenger him so its almost its too many different problems that are not for the cost of being successful those structures that you need to build. An african football you have to upgrade the league you have to have to build better conditions for training better facilities you have to keep. The mystery cat custody is not something youd like to be involved in because i know that people like calling are we going to go out on the sharks in nigeria to one of the things wed like to approach the lights to. Go and look underneath as well is that something post career you speak very well very bright draw your piece that. You would like to be involved in post football career to give Something Back to nigeria nigerian football is definitely an thought but. Im not too well connected right now because a lot of players and went to nigeria National Team and they come from academies i mean they are ready but it is as i said they need to improve Everything Everything around it and also the education for football then but definitely would be something that im interested in like to bring up this nation even more because as you said before you have we have an amazing football talent god knows how many talents they are i cant even tell you because its too many its unbelievable i think ive seen around forty or fifty players since i have a joint a super league of coming in and out most of them stay but you always have another one whos just there for a try or who gets a chance at the end of the day depends on the coach a little bit only a full minute tell him to play that i cant even tell how many because as i said before im not too well connected in nigeria finally all you. And all the big m she writes and come play you know a big Company Clothing company. Puts a little black kid in ice which is. Coolest Little Monkey in the jungle you felt compelled to tweet about do you feel its your responsibility in the public as a professional footballer to comment on social issues and if so i want i think because we have the we have the range to address a lot of people and with this issue in particular i just know that its not just one person who puts this online theres a couple of persons who look over it and i say its. Either. Some kind of ignorance maybe those people day they just didnt realize the fact how people would react on this but then on the same time i saw in two thousand and eighteen we see whats going on in the usa but also although all of the world place much we did was just consulted two or three days ago again and running sterling as well in manchester going to go to restaurants and prison food right shipping its happening every day i think its our responsibility i dont even blame anyone. Or claim anyone that h. And m. Is racist but this should not be happening because they also have a responsibility because they have a big range and you can see i think it was a big image of them its for them its just that we need to keep remind people how like the African Community or the black Community Feels as long as black people get compared with with monkeys. Just for the cause of taking their selfesteem. And this will never be right i think its very important to to build that kind of empathy for one another all at least with the site its been fascinating twenty thirty minutes with a hope that when you finish playing youve got plenty of years left if you go on and get involved in the administration the guidance we need most
