To make the state of the union to sort of shore up support from the defense bloc as it were to chinese it does ring a bit cold war ish to russia however were beyond cold in terms of the cold war the rhetoric is much more aggressive much more riseth for us the agenda is much more pernicious and its become a centerpiece of u. S. Partisan politics the whole russia gate issue. Back to domestic policy trump announced that he signed an executive order to keep the one ton of obey Detention Center open despite get my becoming notorious for various human rights abuses including two terms pieces that barack obama vowed to close that facility back in two thousand and nine but never delivered on the promise. In the past we have foolishly released hundreds and hundreds of dangerous. Only to meet again on the battlefield including the isis leader. Who we captured who we had who we released. So today im keeping another promise i just shy. Prior to walking in an order directing secretary man to reexamine our military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities in guantanamo bay. When crime came into power he said not only that he believes torture works hes going to throw want on him up the only reason why i can say this is because theres no precedent for people being prosecuted for war crimes and i think its important that this would praise the said the war crimes carried out in kuantan immobile graham and all the other detention for the cities by the americans in fact recently now for the first time i think in recent history the i. C. C. The International Criminal court is finally investigating some of the abuses that the americans carried out in afghanistan and perhaps later in kuantan and its an unprecedented move so to be saying that at a time when this investigation is taking place that im going to keep guantanamo open is an affront to the very notion of justice. The russian Hacking Group fancy bears is claiming the Canadian Olympic Committee covered up a positive doping test of its National Poll bowl champion prior to the rio olympics my colleague mccarran discussed the details with r. T. Easily bitter end. Well it looks like an eyebrow raising email exchange supposedly between the people from the Canadian Olympic Committee and also their National Body that is responsible for sports ethics some pretty disappointing tactics in there it looked like attempts to play down an antidoping rule violation and some corkey damage control around the summer olympics in rio and heres the athlete at the center of this what can you tell us about him well its all of the case of the former pole vault champion from canada his name is shawn barber prior to rio he had tested positive for cocaine but instead of being thrown out of the olympics after several and terminal Disciplinary Proceedings with that in town and he was allowed to go and moreover this case was hidden from the international Olympic Committee for a while the see you see he was not permitted to disclose sean sue wish and prior to or during the games we do not condone this behavior sean has apologized for his mistake and poor judgment. Now for a moment just bear in mind all the treatment that the russian olympic athletes have been getting and listen to how shawn barber was cleared basically what he did was claimed at the hearings that he had inhaled or ingested the cocaine during a sexual intercourse with someone he called a professional woman she found him allegedly on a craigslist ad and the cocaine was transferred when a kiss happened so canadian officials were happy to let him go and keep the i. O. C. In the dark about this by the way just for your information the pole vaulter came out as gay a few months after the olympics and said that he was proud of it very interesting i presume the i. O. C. Has taken a saloon very seriously well i can tell you it was too late to take this seriously they couldnt do anything about that when they found out but apparently some people at the i. O. C. Werent so happy with the situation president thomas bought allegedly the called the ruling a decision that was influenced by National Interests but in the meantime if we go back to the emails some top canadian sports officials appear to have been trying to do everything to make sure that this case doesnt get any further attention and clued ng legal attention and if you look at the wording it suggests that anyone whos concerned or anyone whos just even trying to ask questions about this is doing something terribly wrong it does not seem right that this is being suggested publicly but if an independent bruce is determined the athlete was at new fools in this case. And the i. O. C. Had the right to appeal the decision of the time and none of them did well this is a point where i once again want to mention all the russian olympic fans well everyone has their own understanding of the words double standards. We discussed this issue with professor of sociology at Aston UniversityEllis Cashmore may believes theres an issue of double standards given that russias athletes have been banned even without testing positive for the thing what is novel of course is this apparent relaxation of warders rule of strict liability warders premise with all its other rules regarding drugs is that the individual athlete is so all the responsible for his or her own bodies if youre in a bar and somebody spiked shore drink your responsible for it even if youd left your drink on guarded while you went to the toilet or Something Like that or turned your back or the perpetrator of the crime or the perpetrator of the crime have been banned from competing even without giving any kind of positive dont test at all or being guilty by association so there is this kind of striking difference between the treatment that russian athletes are being given and those that have been afforded to north american athletes. Lympics looming go only one hundred sixty nine russian athletes will be invited to the games out of almost five hundred initially put on the list russian president Vladimir Putin has apologized to the sports people saying that the country failed to protect them but you know better than anyone else how hard it is to gain victories and how much effort you need and its two times harder when a sport is mixed with events and for millions of sport politics we apologize for not managing to protect you from that r. T. Talked exclusively to a number of russian athletes who were spoken to by the president. In agreement there is a certain amount of pressure on all of us of course its quite a complicated situation i really want to do my best one to overcome my anxiety and distance myself from all the sturdy media is causing around us now i want to address our fans i want them to be more kind and to keep supporting us no matter what i need to forget about our desire to win forget that everyone is against us and just continue doing our job. Set up within ourselves we know what country represent it matters what we feel not what we wear just have hard feelings for those who werent allowed to participate even though they were innocent and maybe were still a bit angry about that. As afghan and u. S. Forces have increased their attacks against militant strongholds in afghanistan civilians are finding themselves caught in the crossfire in their own homes. Islamic state militants came here the government then dropped off a leaflet to warn us so we fled our village and then the americans were destroyed these houses were among the government help us. The three villages who were killed did not belong to i saw all the taliban they were in their houses during the bombardment a man a woman and their son were killed in that incident. We were on our way villagers said the u. S. Forces were coming here then we continue our trip to europe to Central District here in this time they bombed us there were eleven of us in vehicle on the i survived here ten people including my appearance in cousin who are killed. The latest statistics from the u. S. Air force make situation abundantly clear during the last year the u. S. Dropped more than four thousand bombs on afghanistan in saugus the u. S. Carried out twice as many airstrikes as in the previous two years combined American Military forces insist they take all precautions to avoid civilian casualties. Israeli legal activists have filed a lawsuit against two New Zealanders one of whom is jewish herself thats because they apparently influenced the pop star lord to cancel a planned gig in television with details his pull the slip. Late last year the new zealand pop star norwood an answer to his canceling a performance that she was scheduled to have given here in tel aviv in june of this year now it seems as if her announcement was made following an open publication of acorn by two New Zealanders urging her to boycott the country lord posted her response on her twitter feed noted been speaking with many people about this and considering our options thank you for advocating me i am learning all the time to now is really activists are suing those two New Zealanders in what appears to be the first lawsuit filed under it controversial israeli anti boycott law the law goes back to two thousand and eleven and it could open the door to civil lawsuits against those calling for a boycott of his role including of lands its occupied if it can be proven that that call knowingly led to a boycott now the noise part of the israeli governments way to try and deal with the boycott sanctions and disinvestment movement there has been growing traction against israel in recent years it does allow the courts to impose damages against defendants now critics of the law of course argue that it stifles freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Or the value because it has been on somewhat of a roller coaster ride of loads the future of Virtual Currencies seems to lie with this Underlying Technology book show and in the russian capital one businessman is seen as being the crypto currency but im turning a former soviet car factory into a mining farm girl frances santiago explains. Welcome to our digital digest on everything exciting in the world of block change i mean your practice and thiago this is parties can tell you soviet Cycling Technology may just be what the world needs for a global revolution in mining were about to speak to the founder of the Russian Mining Company and see what the multicell mind is all about big news from moscow as the Russian Mining Company cohen by Dmitri Marine shiv one of president Vladimir Putins internet. Plan to raise as much as one hundred Million Dollars in bitcoin and a theory im for their i c. E. O. The result was only forty three million but it was more than needed to go on with the production of the maltese cell miner see with mining its simple a machine takes part in every day Crypto Currency Exchange operations and gains the owner eight percent for each shands action the latest chinese bit main mining machine at twenty three hundred dollars will produce you around twenty five dollars worth of bitcoin daily r m c s two miners in the works the sixteen hundred dollars sunrise Bitcoin Miner that has more mining power than because maines machine thats producing thirty to forty percent more daily revenue and the multicell alternative coin miner that will be a breakthrough for the worlds Mining Machinery but speak with himself and get the latest on the progress so you had a tough launch some deadlines were blown but everyone is eager to see the miner whats the progress so far the progress is good the sunrise mine is ready and as we speak were beginning mass production of the factory while the multicell should be ready by august twenty eighth multicell is a microprocessor which routes deep into the soviet past when the multicelled processing philosophy was created it was used in Space Communication and it is still used what it is is basically a ciphering technology for Communication Channels using Minimal Energy consumption and at the same time be. Extremely failsafe because several cells allow the processor to keep working even if one or two cells have malfunctioned in orbit for the experience and when we did the mathematical equations of experiments the results were sounding as they were radically better and higher than for example the usual alternative queen demining through video cuts by our calculations one multicelled will produce up to four thousand dollars in revenue a day and thats where we got the idea to do an i. C. A. O. For the production of such unique products whats your take on the future of crypto in russia i think the russian government overall sees cryptocurrency as something positive there ins and outs that have yet to be established steps are being taken to govern cryptocurrency but overall the drift im getting is that even with future laws in place russia will be a very habitable country for cryptocurrency it is really mind boggling a machine that will produce four thousand dollars a day is that even possible while its wait and see you can watch the full episode of our tease told him on our you tube channel stay tuned. Meanwhile a canadian based entrepreneur is going green by finding an alternative use for crypto currency mining is recycling the generated three Bitcoin Mining agricultural use the waste heat generated from more than one hundred big coal Mining Computers is being recycled to grow crops and to maintain fish tank temperatures currently around eight hundred char held in the warehouse the founder of the Food Technology firm explains how recycling wasting it bring economic benefits to the community. Recycling that waste heat from data centers or Bitcoin Miners thats going to have a huge Economic Impact here while it whether its from strawberries or even a very specific plan and their environmental conditions the benefit is going to be felt by everyone what we do. Do know is that the Digital Economy has a huge ecological footprint whether youre searching on amazon or on facebook even doing a Google Search thats equivalent to driving a car fifty kilometers thats a big Carbon Footprint now we can take that waste and then convert it into facilities where were growing food and that food addresses real humanitarian needs like Food Security and being able to have Fresh Produce throughout the year when i have a shot.
