Blood it means i dont think this is clean competitions we will see there are skiers doping we dont bring also in these competitions well altie has asked the International Olympic committee whether it will investigate these doping allegations and were still waiting for a reply however sports lawyer david larkin says its worrying the i. O. C. Hasnt publicly commented on this issue. Whats interesting is you heard the outcry in the media about these allegations you havent seen any action. As it currently stands i dont see there being an investigation which you know is in the light of everything weve discovered with regards to russian doping allegations is troubling everybody where there is a problem should be investigated we need to understand that the doping is in fact a global problem is raised by this documentary we need to understand that doping is happening and occurs across the world and that this is not an incident slated to russia that this is a global problem its a continuing problem and its something we need to address seriously right now even the greatest doping experts in the west as a lot of cannot currently detect doping in athletes thats a problem. You chief has found no evidence that russia interfered in the u. K. s brechts it referendum thats according to the companys global head of Public Policy hes testified in front of the u. K. House of commons committee. Be looked at all advertisements with any connection to russia and we found no evidence of our services being used to interfere in that thats a referendum but we dont look in a surly fool to pay for advertising to the election but actually the operation of channels will be updating the films which show which can be linked back to russia nations his how to political purpose a message through the referendum would you be able to do that for us we are happy to cooperate with that investigation so it says yes yes despite these are endless attempts to accuse russia of brechts that meddling in this pressure on Online Platforms to expose any shady business that russia might have been up to yet another revelation this time from you tube that nothing of sort had happened and this indeed as yet another session of the u. K. Parliamentary Committee Inquiry into feek news who this time travel to washington to ask their questions but it has to be said that despite all of their hard work. This inquiry has produced no results of substance so far if you remember previously this committee seems to have been sort of left hanging by twitter we found that one percent of the accounts in the data sets were registered in russia could you confirm how many other accounts were being controlled from agencies in russia even if they were not registered there we do not have sufficiently strong evidence to enable us to conclusively linked them with russia the failure to obtain straight answers is simply increasing concerns about these issues rather than reassuring people well this as google also said they found no evidence of russian meddling in the bronx that referendum as well as of course facebook following their investigation having said that they found that russia spent seventy three p. On any kind of posts related to brock said. Well meanwhile the u. K. Campaign to reverse the breaks that vote has received a hefty financial boost from american billionaire george soros the best from Britain Group has confirmed he donated almost half a Million Pounds to his foundation. George soros foundations have along with a number of other major donors made significant contributions to our work indeed through his foundation he has contributed four hundred thousand pounds hes funding is one among many sources the best for britain is a pro e. U. Lobby Group Pushing for a second perhaps it referendum one of their key principles is in need not leave the e. U. The Campaign Hopes to influence the opinion of the public and politicians on this issue what downing street was quick to risk to react to reason a spokesperson insisted there would be no second referendum as the country has already voted to leave the e. U. Human and labor rights lawyer dan kadlec says the u. K. Is not experiencing the kind of foreign meddling that happens in other countries we know that george soros and self has played a role in interfering in many country in some of the color revolutions socalled color revolutions in Eastern Europe for example and of course we know that the Us Government itself has and continues to meddle quite seriously in other peoples elections with in other peoples political processes for example secretary of state tellers and just were recently on a trip to latin america he called for the military in venezuela to overthrow their democratically elected president i think for countries like the u. S. The u. K. I think their view is they can read on anyone elses political processes that will but other people cant participate in there so i mean it is a double standard clearly a double standard and i think again the u. S. Will protect that double standard. To the hilt and we see that time and time again us republicans are threatening to slash funding to a Cancer Research group more on that after the break. But politicians do something. They put themselves on the line. They get accepted or rejected. So when they want to express an interest. Or some want to be preached. To the right to be clear this is what the for. The people that are interested always in the lives of our. First to. Welcome back republican lawmakers in the u. S. Are threatening to cut funding to the World Health Organizations counsel Research Program thats after the International Agency for research on the council said americas most widely used weed killer made by monsanto is probably a cosmogenesis. Unsubstantiated claims i or your responsible handling of why should receive any government funding in the future they are disputing the organizations findings regarding its leading herbicide called round up and back in twenty fifteen the International Agency for research on cancer concluded that roundups active ingredient life estate could be carcinogenic to humans now roundup is made by months santo and its the worlds most widely used weed killer since the seventys its been sprayed on corn soybeans a cotton and other crops and republicans believe that the study was flawed and relied on cherry pick science accusing the agency of lack of transparency and anti industry bias they say that its quite a status designated as carcinogenic it will require manufacturers and retailers to warn workers and consumers and plus itll increase costs and instill fear in the public some have disagreed with republicans it is important that we review the methods and tactics that industry has used to influence this administration and attack independent scientific organizations like the World Health OrganizationsInternational Agency for research on cancer or i would like to say that fundamentally this hearing is about the ability of a Public Health agency to call a carcinogen a carcinogen even if that carcinogen makes a huge amount of money for powerful corporations according to the center for responsive politics monsanto lobbied more than four point three Million Dollars in twenty seven team the Environmental Protection agency which is not an International Organization concluded that the same ingredient does not cause cancer and i are says that theyve been under attack ever since they published their conclusions against life a seat at the same time monsanto has been pushing against these findings through several different means and the company is seen as well quite controversial not only in the u. S. But all over the world president micron promised in november that would be banned within three years inevitably modified crops have been banned in over thirty five Different Countries but not banned in the u. S. International organizations have concluded that life is it could be cancerous the so these lawmakers intentions are quite unclear. Radio talk show host believes the w. H. O. Scientists need to provide stronger evidence that the monsanto we tell of course is cancer a lot of people dont understand what the ingredient is used for glyphosate round up is used commercially as a weed killer it sounds like monsanto hasnt spent enough money lobbying and hasnt put enough donations and volunteers in spock its yet or at least in the right ones this is a serious turn for the worse for monsanto but im not sure there is the evidence that Everyone Wants to see that the substance is plainly carcinogenic to to have that much influence you would have to have thousands or tens of thousands of cancer cases that were traceable to the use of the product and im not sure that kind of evidence exists theres always anecdotal evidence but im not sure theres convincing evidence there isnt a bulk of data to be analyzed to make that determination and there should be because theyve been using it for fifty years based on some arm waving and some accusations of cherry picking of course monsanto cherry picks every corporation protects its product you can expect them to do otherwise what id like to see is the bulk of data that can be analyzed and give you a clear indication that its carcinogenic and i have not seen that yet and i dont think the law makers are saying theyve seen it either they just want to explore the possibility. The republicans seeking to cut funding to the w. H. O. Are on the u. S. House Science Committee but the views expressed by current and former members of the panel have often raised eyebrows. We dont know what those other cycles were caused by in the past could be dinosaur flatulence. What happened when the c o two was greater since then and now theres been many cycles of up and down warming dinosaur flagyl. All this. Evolution. In reality. Of the last straight. Think about if your ice cube melts your glass it doesnt overflow as displacement i mean this is the thing similar things that theyre talking about mathematically and scientifically dont make sense. British newspaper the times has accused the b. B. C. Of bias for renting out its t. V. Studios to this channel this is how the times describe the situation. The b. B. C. Is making money by hiring out its studios to r. T. The Television Channel controlled by moscow the b. B. C. s dealings prompted Damian Collins the conservative chairman of the Commons Media Select Committee to question the b. B. C. s ethics when response the b. B. C. Says it runs out studios like any other International Media organization independent journalist martin summers sees double standards in the times article. I think that theres a general attack on r. T. In you know political attack in the west they dont like your t. V. Station because they see it as competition for their own narrative about events of course there is a whole attempt in the west to diligence somalis the Russian Point of view and i think its one of the strange the times which is owned by Rupert Murdoch and of course a lot of the print anything it likes takes a particularly hard line for example on briggs it but they say the b. B. C. Cant engage in commercial activities on the side which theyve been doing for years without any interference whatsoever is not impartial i mean hes got an agenda hes very definite got definitely got his views and he uses his media to push those views now in a free society thats acceptable to a certain extent but its a bit cheeky of him to start check attacking other people for expressing their views in a perfectly legitimate fashion and it just shows how twisted the debate about these things in the west has now become. Well for more on these and plenty of other stories that go to our web site otherwise ill be back with the latest headlines at the top of the hour. National governments in various locations still dont even understand what the currency is how mining works what bitcoin does and that confusion in that learning curve that they havent bothered to climb leads to a lot of missed policy choices messed up policy choices and its because of a massive confusion out there so little is known about because of their currencies at all levels of government most levels of the Consumer World and even within the Crypto Community itself. In america a College Degree requires a great deal. Paying a decades long debt. Studying so hard it requires trust to. Go through humiliation to enter an elite society. And parching to death sometimes quite literally. Wants of the true colors of universities in the u. S. Very few not to speak paying more attention to peace would russian of north Korea Nuclear issue i personally believe the us coming can come will be just lucians but i seem to us has been paying too much attention to military no solutions but i hope the us to pay more attention to peaceful solution to the north Korean Nuclear problem. Ratings value to asians all right hawk watchers heres your challenge of the day can you name all of the Different Countries that the United States military machine is currently fighting in or operating in well lets see here the top of my head well the obvious ones like iraq and afghanistan good old afghanistan seventeen years strong and still no end in sight and then of course theres syria where u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson recently promised us and. Promised us all an open ended u. S. Military presence despite the pesky little fact that its completely illegal for us to be there without an invite. And we cant forget the various countries in africa where weve got drones and special forces rampaging across the land think. Yemen yemen is out there but i dont know does yemen count i mean saudi arabia is actually the one kind of fighting there but if the saudis are using all of our weapons and logistics isnt that basically the same thing and now sadly weve got a new country added to the game board or rather an old one thats new again the philippines yes some forty three years after the end of the vietnam war u. S. Forces are heading back to Southeast Asia how retro under the proud patriotic sounding banner of operation pacific eagle the lead Inspector General report to Congress Tells us that quote according to the d. O. D. Officials operation pacific eagle philippines is a comprehensive campaign to assist the armed forces of the philippines in their fight against violent extremist organizations including those affiliated with isis and other terrorist groups that do not profess a connection to isis. And like all of our new military campaigns the report goes on to state that the department of defense did not provide an anticipated. End date for operation pacific eagle. Because thats just what the American People in the rest of the world need right now yet another never ending conflict involving the United States. I guess we will have plenty of time to always be watching the whole. You know what you get the. Real this is whats. The bottom. Line. Like you know what i got. This. Week so. Welcome everybody to watch the harks i am a robot girl and im having a lot less so yeah ready hot shocked shock and awe that was there when. I find it really disturbing that we once again are in the situation where the idea that we say weve been in this conflict for seventeen years and nobody goes well just how it is these days thats terrifying there when you think about that there are there are kids today that were born into play in afghanistan when it was out war are now becoming adults what do you think that does when you spend your entire life. Great point thats a really really surrounded by war and i think thats the big question on everybodys mind is is that nobody really ask what this is kind of they are underneath all the clamor is are we really ready for this as a globe as a as a country as a people as a culture because when you look at us going into the philippines now to assist there in the war on terror the new way of the main excuse over and over to justify this kind of i dare i say imperialism and militarism. When you look at this its like ok we were already in the philippines we had a base there subic bay. Now were going back to places that we already did fight in like just forty fifty years ago like its now come full circle retreading old ground we fought so much theres not many places left that we havent fought already well that we have when we have things left over from the last war we just move them somewhere close by really save on shipping things home if we just keep going the old post World War Two about us and post World War Two after the end of the war there was all this equipment in japan sitting there that had been used because they were going to use it to invade japan they didnt have to then that all got sent to and thats. One of the things thats interesting to look at is how this is seen around the world or how its perceived. Essentially and why and whats going on in the philippines because this idea that were fighting these terrorists and im saying their government super government its hard to tell which ones which roland symbol and is a professor at the university of philippines and a scholar of u. S. Military activities in the region recently told many press news that in his view internally it is directed against the philippine left and
