In a contemporary way without destroying its actual character when we travel to rome to find out.

Apartment loft rises it was one of the first ever built in rome here italian architect santo has transformed two separate apartments into one modern flat. Third up if we completed this apartment with all the decor last year. You. Really know how some levels main problem was that the lower house didnt get much light. In ensuring there is enough light was crucial. So we had the idea to create large openings in the room above. But so that light can shine through. The lower part of the apartment boasts large format photographs by contemporary artists. The owner collects modern art. So we decided to furnish this nine hundred sixty s. With some design classics from that time. Like this one nine hundred fifty s. Table by italian designer joe poncy the furniture over there was designed by him to build. The apartment owner let mussy know choose the furniture and so now the lower level apartment not only has contemporary art but also design classics imbuing it with a museum like feel aside from these one nine hundred sixty s. Classics the apartment is also furnished with modern day design pieces like this so far by the company on our brothers. The staircase leading to the top floor has been designed like a wooden sculpture and is an art work in its own right. Story out of that up for me or without it there is the familys living quarters out the way. They have there is even here and all of their books. Weve gone to lots of trouble designing shelves cupboards and media units so that all perfectly harmonized with everything here and with the Art Collection. Idea that theyre going to put on. My. We havent just doubled the size. We didnt just lose the upper and lower level creating two novels you will instead of basically created three spaces.

This is deja vu news live from berlin life suspensions reversed for dozens of olympic athletes accused of doping the russian competitors have their olympic gold lifetime bans revoked by a Sports Arbitration Court but it is unclear if they will be allowed to take part in next weeks winter games also coming up the head of the f. B. I. It clashes with the white house over a controversial memo due to be released today republicans say the document shows an antitrust bias in the Justice Department democrats say it has been doctored. To. Im simply so much out of thank you for joining us more than two dozen russian athletes have successfully overturned lifetime olympic bans for doping offenses the court of arbitration for sport a no the sanctions a move condemned by the International Olympic committee but it is still uncertain if todays ruling will allow the russians to compete in the winter games they start next week the russian doping scandal has dominated the sporting headlines for almost two years after an investigation into state sponsored doping the International Olympic committee banned a host of russian athletes from the olympics. Forty two athletes took their case to the court of arbitration for sport thirty nine had their appeals up held on thursday. The council be traitors unanimously found that the evidence would forward by the hour you see in relation to this much or did not have the same weight in each individual case cas overturned the bands of twenty eight athletes due to insufficient evidence that doping violations were committed. This does not mean that these twenty that liesel declared innocent but in their case due to insufficient evidence the appeal so held the sanctions and their individual results achieved in such reinstated. Caste cleared those athletes to take part in the pyong chang winter games which start next week but the i. O. C. Said they would not be automatically allowed to compete the remaining eleven athletes were deemed to have committed doping violations by cas and are ineligible for the Olympic Games in south korea past they have had their lifetime bans revoked. Lets talk about the implications of this decision we have a limited talking from database sports with us here in studio and our moscow correspondent emily sure when standing by for us good to have you both was with us alina first to you why were these bans revoked ok so to understand the decision of the court of arbitration of sports we have to find out what their mandate was and they said that from the beginning that our mandate was not to determine if systemic doping took place that we were tasked with finding out if individual athletes had doped and upon investigating a second all the evidence and information they came across the conclusion that the evidence was insufficient for these twenty eight act so they saying that collectively it strong it does show that theres you know a systemic doping but when that evidence from that information was a play applied on a case by case basis. It just wasnt enough just to show that these these individual athletes had committed a dope in violation so these twenty eight athletes will they compete in the winter games things are just going to get very complicated from here on because these twenty eight some of these at twenty eight athletes have to tie it those remaining of course they can apply for entry to the games but this is where the problem comes in if it gets very tricky because the i. O. C. Needs to approve if they can participate and the i. C. I. O. C. Is of course now put in a very difficult position where they have to they have these athletes saying to them hey i dare you to not allow me to participate after cast the biggest voice in sports you know that you know validated you know gave me the green light to participate so if youre the i. O. C. What do you do not do you follow your own stance or do you go with the cast said so this puts the i. O. C. In a difficult position emily lets come to you know what is the reaction been there in moscow well this is of course kind of a victory for the russian side and the reactions today show that the head of the russian Olympic Committee called this decision fair he said that he was happy that the names of these athletes have been cleared now and the kremlin spokesman. Said that this shows that appealing these decisions can work and that russia must continue to protect its athletes including using legal measures so it seems that the russian side is encouraged and wants to continue to protect their athletes and that was also shown today by a reaction from the deputy Prime Minister of italy would go who of course was minister of sports during the sochi olympics and he said that the eleven athletes who arent permitted to take part in these upcoming Olympic Games that russia plans to appeal each of those decisions as well so somewhat of a victory here for russia and in an encouraging sign for their off leads and how does this play into russias hands. Well of course this plays into the russian narrative in a way russian officials here have always denied including the president himself that there is the state sponsored doping program and yes of course as alina said you know that these cases have to be checked case by case and in in a way this doesnt reflect on the overall doping decision but of course this decision uses the cas use it use the same witnesses to decide so they used Richard Mclaren and gorder it or chunk of those are the fundamental witnesses in the doping case overall against russia so in a way this does somewhat undermine the overall decision against russia at least thats the way its seen here all along after all the russians have said that this is a decision this decision to only allow russian athletes to compete under a neutral flag and so on that this decision is much more political than to do with sports russians see it as an overall narrative and overall western campaign excuse me and overall western anti Russian Campaign that involves sanctions as well and people here think that it hasnt been based on enough evidence so calling into question those fundamental witnesses really kind of calls into question the whole case from the Russian Point of view so aleem of this calls into question the whole doping case against russia where does this leave the i. O. C. The i. O. C. Has reacted not very happy about the cast the situation that they are holding firm theyre holding their ground its quite surprising and they all give for example but hey look the eleven athletes that we have banned that is evidence that systemic manipulation of death take place and they saying that just because cas lifted the ban doesnt mean that were going to invite these past now to the games and theyve also gone as far as saying that they might appeal this decision and take it to the swiss federal tribunals but of course with eight days to go to the games its going to be very tough to get anything out of that or into lima talkee from sports and with Emily Sherman sure and with us from moscow thank you both very much for your analysis.
