12:14 pm
of course the reason she would rejoice in a moment like this potentially is some of the issues she has himself with boris johnson not only did he quite recently resigned the u.k. foreign secretary because of disagreements over her stance on iraq since but also because of the political rivalry going on between johnson and me of course we have to remember that boris johnson potentially becoming the next conservative party leader has been the talk of the town here and westminster him having quite strong support among the party and meanwhile of course we know that recent may's popularity and approval ratings have really been dwindling and she knows it despite having been caught dancing a couple of times on that trip there and keeping up appearances. that shifting its focus from fighting terrorism to entering an arms race with the major will pose for the big question is is it simply paying appear or is it going
12:15 pm
into overdrive to boost its industry. great power competition not terrorism is now the primary focus of good now ok good to be discredited but for time. you mentioned the navy for example that we have fewer ships that we did in one nine
12:16 pm
hundred sixty four governor we also have a few horses and bayonets but nature of our military changed. the world changed right russia and china appear competitors and we have to think about our defense different ways and we have in the past when you look at the three major superpowers china russia and the united states all three directly china and russia really upgraded their forces in the last five years so now the united states is playing catch up a little bit on some of those people who are deprived limb isn't we spend more money than the rest of the world on military equipment and manpower this is about big business these country companies make billions off the united states plus the illegal arms shipment state they send around the world the united states is in a constant build up of weaponry and in

a constant arms race you want to go out international law is run the world from moscow. most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest street in truth to
12:18 pm
stand out of the lose business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. desert international knew and now the head of the people's republic of donetsk in ukraine has been killed earlier today in an explosion at a restaurant just a couple of hours ago apparently local officials confirmed the incident was just several hundred meters from alexander because home according to some reports three other people were killed as well as held office since twenty fourteen and took part
12:19 pm
in the riots back then which led to the donetsk and lugansk regions separating from ukraine moscow's said the merger of the regional head undermines the peace process and warrants reaction from the global community care of me time has ruled out any involvement in the instant we'll keep you posted on that throughout the evening as more room for cations come out over it. the international olympic committee president admitted that the war on doping in sport might never be won but thomas but has come under fire for his comment especially from america's anti-doping agency which claims backs just simply given up a lecturer takes a look at what this could mean for russian athlete while the world of sports continues while the world of sports continues its fight against doping the president of the international olympic committee has made a very honest and a very sad admission but pink. who will always happen this is.
12:20 pm
one of the walls you cannot read those words did not sit well with the chief of the u.s. anti-doping agency travers' tygart obviously a top flight but the leader of a ranch i don't can't simply throwing it out he probably has a point especially since doping scandals have hit tiger's own turf just this week alone two u.s. athletes received lengthy bans for substance abuse that's well pundits blame anti-doping officials for turning a blind eye when it comes to domestic sport or rather a multibillion businesses like the n.f.l. but thomas back strong words weren't the trigger for your side as criticism tiger to assume that the i.o.c. presidents quote was essentially a precursor to water reinstating the russian anti-doping agency at that meeting scheduled for september twentieth but he did say that he hoped russia had learned its lesson the hard way and would be welcomed back into the world of sports and
12:21 pm
that was something tiger stressed must not happen would be a devastating blow to russia's me towards credibility as well as the hopes and dreams of millions around the world who believe in. competition russia and its anti-doping agency have been imprisoned for several years now after the publication of the so-called mclaren report which detailed accusations of a state sponsored doping program there is. many russian athletes banned the country's anti-doping agency effectively shut down and water handing over a lengthy criteria list for ricin to be reinstated last year the agency acknowledged that nineteen of thirty one points had been met and just this month the president of water said there were only two conditions remaining to offer thirty one but they still had to be purified i think relationships to the point that we have yet to purify the two conditions that are still outstanding sure more needs to be done with new accusations and new anti-doping investigations russia
12:22 pm
still has three weeks to put things right so has tiger jumped the gun in demanding russia to be kept out the final two criteria we're talking about. russia is supposed to say hands up the mclaren report was right we did engage in state sponsored doping russia has absolutely rejected the mclaren reports finding not because they don't believe you russia is quite rightly said we want the evidence thomas bach himself has requested the evidence and so far nobody has said it apart we presume for mclaren it is only a guess at this stage but i think the first steps to a reinstatement will be taking place towards the end of september when there is a big meeting of water and i think the outcome will be that russia will be readmitted i think it will be an unconditional reinstatement but eventually i think people would just have to say well ok russia are not admitting the been state
12:23 pm
sponsored doping but we need them anyway they are a world power in sports and sport needs russia keeping sport clean is something that both the i.o.c. president and ahead of us anti-doping agency are striving to achieve but can you really demand one thing from another country when similar dopping scandals break out in your own backyard. one thing's for sure the next water meeting in the seychelles is looking like politics and doping will go down the finish line will be fully funded this relegations races will cost a shot that will one kind of its bid to be the new governor of florida in the united states. he is an articulate spokesman for those far left views and he's a charismatic candidate so we've got to work hard to make sure that we continue
12:24 pm
florida going in a good direction the last thing we need to do is to monkey business by trying to embrace of socialist agenda with huge tax increase is. the last thing we need to do is to monkey that. looked up at stunning upset in the florida florida gubernatorial race florida's democratic party has called those comments disgusting and accused the santas of making racist dog whistles that's how white folks talk about black men who are successful he started a campaign that they way down probably did right politics this is let's divide be derisive be sensational. it is zero to do with the race shot it has everything to do with whether we won florida continue to go in a good direction there are moments when you need to apologize and that's what needs to happen from the congress.
