So the welcome youre watching r. T. International this monday afternoon where its just gone five oclock here in the russian capital now our top story this hour this Information Campaign targeting the Syrian Government is underway thats according to the Russian Foreign ministry which had earlier predicted there could be provocative reports of alleged Chemical Attacks. Fake reports are being planted in with me about chlorine allegedly used in eastern guta news outlets are citing an anonymous source from the us let me remind you weve been warning about such Great Stories since yesterday and there will be more such stories from social media from the White Helmets a provocative organization with a history of fake reports should especially when it comes to Chemical Attacks for which there is no evidence so these provocations will continue with a single goal to blacken the Syrian Government by accusing it of both sorts of violations and war crimes is. Ok lets talk about the broader situation to with out hes not against yet he joins us in the studio. Mr lavrov there talking about alleged Chemical Attacks put on us as we said on a broader u. N. Security Council Passed a resolution calling for a ceasefire but at the moment it seems thats not going to happen well the resolution twenty four one is very open to interpretation called for a ceasefire to be implemented in syria without delay and everybody in syria who is interested in doing so is trying to figure out how this resolution doesnt you know it doesnt affect them it doesnt mandate that they should also take part in this ceasefire because it includes a clause that says you can continue military action against terrorists and if you are a terrorist obviously you know this resolution has no power over you so you continue fighting if you are fighting terrorists or radical islamists then this resolution doesnt doesnt affect you i that because you will have to continue fighting them and you have a situation in which it just isnt working it hasnt taken hold in eastern good in our for in other areas in syria and here though the russians have just come out the russian minister of defense and he said there will be unilateral ceasefire from the part of the Syrian Government to morrow for a number of hours to allow civilians to leave the Eastern Ghouta eastern goods is of course a small suburb just outside of damascus from which rebels Jaish Al Islam the army of islam predominantly has shelled the capital for many many years now doesnt civilian casualties just yesterday so you know this cease fire has not taken hold in eastern guta outside of damascus and if you ask the people in damascus well there were mixed opinions about it. This truce is similar to the others and we will see it being violated this is the same old story and we are the ones who end up being hard dont you see the children in school and the women and students minami we feel sorry for for these release. We are tired of shelling every day about thirty to forty shelf for here. I am against the truth because it only benefits the rebels although i hope that it will be over soon though and there is no gunmen remain there. Now the. Lover of the Russian Foreign minister said now that the Syrian Government is making progress against islam nusra. Which also has a presence and is the group of the radical Islamist Groups now that theyre making progress against them advancing making gains suddenly you have another International Scandal outrage more allegations of chemical weapons use from the same faces from the white helmet other prorebel activists which the no issue with some regularity but they say this is politics first and foremost there isnt as much concern in the among the International Community for the civilians in eastern guten many of whom are not being allowed out according to various sources the russians people on the ground they saying that the rebels are doing what they did and in aleppo theyre blocking civilians from leaving Eastern Ghouta their their human shield and also what i mean we shouldnt they cited the fact that even the eastern beauty were paid to be the focus of much Media Attention at the moment is not the only hot spot in syria no it isnt military action is continuing in you know rebel on claves as well as y p g syrian kurd afrin were talking about here where turkey launched about a month ago a military operation to liberate the area from terrorists in the p. K. K. The white b. G. Syrian syrian kurds turkey says these does not affect it it is you know it is powerless because it is fighting terrorists. When we look at the u. N. Security Council Resolution we see that fight against terror organizations is outside its scope therefore it will not affect turkeys ongoing operation. In that one month thousands of people have been killed in. Three tens of thousands of lead. Shelling bombing airstrikes the days on end you have. The video footage we verified of course but the video footage of executions looting robbery all sorts of things yet the turkey says that we are continuing this Anti Terrorist operation and everyone came out few hours ago and he said that this ceasefire isnt working it isnt working so he will continue to talk to the Un Security Council to russia to around three principal players in the syrian conflict and you know not a lot of optimism that. Will tickle. Thanks for the update that was. Thank you well Political Science professor maggette buttrose believes the violence is unlikely to end saying take. My eve to say we have to stop the violence overnight and ceasefire overnight simply because all the parties involved have interests to continue on with this violence terrorist groups have instructions to escape the violence. Terrorist groups in this day of this they are so desperate thats why i cant believe that they can use chemical weapons as the last chord on the table. Now the Winter Olympics in south korea have finished with no way topping the medals table elim pick athletes from russia are all as a rule came in thirteenth place that ive been scandal having prevented many versions from competing in the prank here now takes a closer look at how russia fared in. Well seventy medals chang is only minus twelve if you compare it to twenty nine team russian medals unsought cheat this is not amman blowing results but it still deserves a huge round of applause given that most russians stars werent even vi that here by the International Olympic committee so basically it was mostly a team of olympic newbies but ill tell you what did blow the mind of russian fans here in chiang it is the first gold medal by their mens Ice Hockey Team in twenty six years the final was really tough neck and neck till the last second with surprise silver medal as germany and the red machine was all able to show whos boss on its an extra time game was very tough for the germany didnt get to the final for no reason its great that we won that we level the school and then the final point in overtime i think this goal brought joy to millions of russian fans speaking of bosses on o. E. Our won two gold medals at these olympics and the first one was no less special when mens ice skating two russian teenage girls topped the podium after breaking two World Records one after another within fifteen minutes but of course you cant share one gold and thanks to one extra point from the jury. Of a fifteen Year Old Girl from asia became the champion and we were the first t. V. Channel to talk to her after she got off the podium in an exclusive interview. Before competition i fully distanced myself from the outside world i didnt mind the attention from the journalists fans and the fact that im participating and the Olympic Games for me it was the same as any other competition of course i supported the other athletes from russia. But i didnt feel this big burden of responsibility maybe that helped me get off the book spoke with a go i just you were so calm of your performance never once said that the only source single tear what did you do to say so we spoke quietly this all comes up this im good you know this is. Actually there are no tears at all and im always like that keeping my emotions to myself but when i go home i always share all my emotions with my parents. I think when i get home i will be dancing and jumping for joy i hope by the time i get home i will realize what i have achieved. Those the courts the buckeyes if so you havent been jumping and dancing so far because when you put your show you but i get i only during my routine. What about your relationship with. Your rivals on ice but is it true that you are actually friends even if you have a vision of the disease that yes absolutely theres we have to go to have a coffee or a chat on social media between training we always share funny videos on instagram and have a good laugh together yes we do a state of this mission the order that i was you know you said you dont notice the Media Attention but we have to ask you about the american skates Ashley Wagner who criticize your routine saying that putting a very complicated elements at the end is basically cheating what would you say to her. No one knows because it just it if i can say that this only encouraged me to do more and better so i wanted to prove even more that what she was saying is not true but you cannot prove anything to people like her you know they can i say let her compete in the olympics with my program and ill gladly see how shell manage to do it of course figure skating is developing really fast nowadays theres always a new generation younger than me maybe someday i might think like that too because in my group there are some girls who can do quadruple jumps but i will try as hard as i can to stay in sports as long as i can im already thinking about the next season is that everything that you do with your skates and all you think about. For now i cannot think about anything else i try to be as careful as i can and not make any mistakes so i can stay in skating for as long as i can. Now in other news this afternoon tensions are rising across italy is the country prepares to vote in general elections this Weekend Police have deployed been deployed in cities throughout the country to face opposing rallies either defending or slamming center right parties Security Forces expect further protests on the election day and beyond the vote is not expected to produce a clear winner the she said she explains now the key figures on the political stage. Its me is general election a show like no other starring a convict a tramp wannabe and a poster boy confused well let me break it down for you the office contender is the grounds old age of eighty one and has a scandalous past of ford convictions and sex scandals and hes also been the former Prime Minister of italy multiple times Silvio Berlusconi im still young sure im ready to. Well at least hes young at heart and he has plenty of supporters. I will vote for berlusconi and the rest i dont care about he gets things done and. Due to his conviction he can become the Prime Minister himself but if his go italy party does well he could be the man to pick the head of the cabinet go its lead to coalition which spans the range of Italian Center right politics is thought they could gain their percent of the vote its part of this coalition includes our next contender salvini and his leg a party for me my leg on north. Italians first. Battalion first wait a second doesnt that battle cry sound familiar America First and im sure theres more. Myron trump is the fact of us keeping most of the promises he made during the. Electoral campaign now just like trump salvini tweets about anything and everything moving on swath that contender now the young face of the anti Establishment Party only thirty one years old the leader of the five Star Movement is seen by some as a bit of eye candy and he makes weight promises to. Were the only Political Force that in recent years has made promises to the italians and has kept faith with those promises were the only ones to renounce the privileges of politics while the politicians continue to obtain these privileges i give up my annuity and cut my salary. Is the complete opposite of the partys found and stand up comedian but they grillo his cool calm and collected and it seems to have captivated young voters i will go with tomorrow tomorrow will be of a town and point i hope that the five Star Movement comes to power because it understands us young People Better they are more aware about technology they think about the future all of us young people but theyre still a huge group of those and show which way to votes on march the fourth poll suggest almost a third of voters are either undecided or will abstain honestly i dont trust anyone anymore. Or mean theyre all the same whichever Political Party it is they come here they make their promises i say this i will do that but in the end it was nothing yet. They might have their reasons its only has seen sixty governments and even more Prime Ministers since the Second World War thats roughly new cabinets every fourteen months so if well see if any of these cars can sway the voters and stayed long enough to actually keep any of their promises and she said the reporting that you with us he will be back with more news just after the break.

Well greece claims it has five times the amount he can cope with resulting in pricing delays some of the behind including many teenage refugees have turned to crime to survive. This square is called im on the air and its a fifteen minute walk from parliaments where we met the guys they told us that its one of the top three most popular places to buy sex and drugs in athens the boy here changes at nights and becomes very seedy as you walk by youre bound to see young boys flirting with passers by a friend drugs or themselves one of our refugees wanted to tell us more about the neighborhood but asked us to conceal his identity because hes a regular here.

Ok were looking at the thoughts now of boris to show us off his spokesperson for the United NationsRefugee Agency and joins this afternoon hello to boris thanks for coming on i just wanted firstly what your reaction is to that report im not sure how much of it you heard but clearly there are refugee teenagers that are having to turn to prostitution in crime to survive. Well were going to shock the courts but also show its not sadly a new issue and this is something that has been going on at least since the bigger the emergency in twenty nine and then as more and more people were staying in greece after the closure of the borders to the north and the statement in march twenty sixth we were seeing hundreds a lot of Company Children coming through in fact now there are about three thousand zero report. Around two thirds of them in age appropriate shoppers some of their have safe zones and open sites across the country others are staying and most i think that the government calls protective custody others are in hotels but some homeless number living thats not too sure and theyre having to resort to actually reduce to part to put food on the table indeed but were not looking at this is an endemic issue because this is not something that were seeing across the board for most of the children that are in the country this is also not essentially and always about me often has to do with Mental Health issues and often has to do with the state of affairs or people having to cross the succession of countries to come to say you know back mrs children and we should not label this essential because prostitution or sex point they should because these are in the end even though theyre teenagers fifteen sixteen sometimes seventeen years old and they are still children so what can be done to protect these children to think. Well were seeing that the government is putting in place a lot of mitigating both through so they have expanded substantially going number of shelters that are available they were three hundred words once you have holes now theyre well over one thousand and still growing if you have seen some being put up in hotels at the very base youre more Services Becoming available you want to see are supported not only was shot through is but also supported through guardianship and mentorship programs which seem organizations coming through to look at skills such as language vocational so that these children can become more selfaware and we are basically with the government in something called sole somebody independent living where especially those children those boards that are in there are sixteen seventeen year just before they feature mature adults we got to. Start regaining control there a lot so this is still a service but the problems are ground are substantial ok no porus we appreciate your insight into this that was a bonus to see itself so i can offer a Spokes Person to the United NationsRefugee Agency appreciate it thank you if. You want your team to National Well have more you see you shortly. When lawmakers manufactured and sentenced him to public wealth. When the ruling classes protect themselves. With the financial merry go round listen to the woman was told. To ignore middle of the room signal. To. Relieve his. Childs seemed wrong and why dont we all just all. The world get to shape our disdain comes to educate and in gay treatment because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. That would. Blow into sophie and kill him Sophie Shevardnadze said the Winter Olympics and chong have been then im expected celebration of korea and unity with north and south as well as competing under one flag and the leadership of the two countries ready for high level talks but will the momentum continue after the games wrap up well i asked former National Security advisor to the president of south korea. To koreas under one flag the green athletes margy united the Charm Offensive for the north korean cheerleaders and the chance of the highest level northsouth meeting can sports diplomacy bring a breakthrough in the Korean Nuclear crisis the current success is build a new future for the peninsula will be forgotten as the olympic flame. From korea. China young who former National Security adviser to the president of south korea welcome to the show great to have you with Us Ambassador the olympics are over with so kim sr shaking hands with president moon dry in sitting closer together at the Olympic Stadium smiling exchanging comments is a great diplomatic breakthrough the press is expecting but the beginning of something or is it all going to come back to being enemies now that games are over. Well it depends on whether and also korea has intention to denuclearize if they have if if for all these. Things are just to maintain as a means of retaining their Nuclear Capabilities well go back to where we were before the olympics or we could be worse off so it all depends on those koreas genuine intention well p. R. Yon apparently wants to talk to the United StatesUnited States says its open to talks with north korea but nobody wants to go first what is so role in this who blinks first game well. Our low is important to figure out what most koreas intention is but. Dialo itself doesnt resolve the problem unless north korea. Is willing to abandon his Nuclear Programs missile programs as well so tall between us and those korea. Could be even worse if north korea has no intention to denuclearize because any talks which. You know wish doesnt lead to decry zation or in which no script confirms is intention not to did to nuke rise under any circumstances that could strengthen the hand of those in washington who advocate a military option so. If nothing comes out of the talks the ten thousand north or the ten north korea and the us. I thing
