the wall down to the doping watchdog says it will discuss reinstating the russian anti-doping agency as a member it was suspended in twenty fifteen and made claims of state sponsored cheating. when half of french people polled say the u.s. is no longer a trusted ally fast as president mcraney prepares to cozy up to trump once more ahead of an official visit. to the world's biggest women's empowerment program by usa id in afghanistan turned out to be an utter failure according to a report released by washington's watchdog in the country.

a warm welcome and a very good morning to you you're watching r.t. international with me. now our top story the russian anti doping agency could be reinstated it's been suspended since twenty fifteen amid allegations of state backed cheating comes after the compliance review committee of the world anti-doping agency recommended its reinstatement the final decision though will be made following a vote on thursday. the compliance review committee reviewed at length a letter from the russian ministry of sport to water and was satisfied that this letter sufficiently acknowledged the issues identified in russia therefore fulfilling the first of the two outstanding great tyria of her saddest roadmap to compliance it is important for us to. reinstate you saw the next world executive

meeting we decision on september twentieth with hope believe me we did everything that we could and we all ready to further cooperate with our foreign partners to continue to work in this direction and follow common dreams which are equal for rule when it was suspended while they gave russia a list of commitments to win reinstatement the majority of which is russia has now fulfilled a key point has been a lack of access to data and samples stored in the moscow lab the world anti-doping agency now says the offer of access to an independent expert would meet its criteria the may just sticking point in the road map of compliance has been the report by richard mclaren stating russia run a state sponsored doping scheme the list says russia must acknowledge the outcomes of his investigation russia denies such a program ever existed but has admitted there were issues within its anti doping

system here's a look at the allegations. the damning mclaren reports on alleged state sponsored doping in russia has led to many athletes being stripped of their meadows and others prevented from taking part in major events including the elim pics however a few things in the report just don't add up before we break them down it's worth noting that the international olympic committee itself was not satisfied with the evidence in a letter to richard mclaren the i.o.c. ostrom more conclusive proof the document was covered with the phrase how to demonstrate almost every athlete's name moreover it was admitted by wada but in many cases the evidence provided may not be sufficient to bring successful cases these dogs are rigid mclaren's findings were issued in two pods they claim that over a thousand russian athletes were involved in a state sponsored doping program let's meet the report star witness. the

former head of a moscow anti doping lab he's facing charges over destroying test samples. and the e-mails presented as proof of state involvement come from his own computer. russian sports officials deny the allegations but did richard mclaren consider to get their side of the story i'd made a decision that with fifty seven days to do my work i didn't have the time and they didn't seem to have the interest so i didn't do that that came after the first part of the reports issued in july twenty sixth. the second came six months later so the investigative team did eventually meet with some russian officials but not. the sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover doping scheme. the central allegation of mclaren's report is that positive year in samples were

systematically swapped for clean ones on top of that it describes how so. nest cafe granya was added to clean samples to make the match dirty ones and trick the testers. that information came courtesy of or a chunk of. another question this raises how do you swap the samples of a high security parcel which is swiss manufacture it guarantees can't be tampered with richard mclaren doesn't have an answer on how the russians did it he just says it can be done and that's enough seen it i've seen it done and i've instructed and it can be done it can be reinserted we don't know how the russians did it but we know they can be done but despite all the questions and doubts over mclaren's evidence russian athletes are being punished on an unprecedented scale i have the we will be able to see some evidence to what they are being punished and that is not that there are some marks on the bottles because then i would be terribly afraid of giving samples. when meanwhile international

authorities as well as athletes have lashed out over the possibility of rosado being reinstated even dubbing it a catastrophe earlier my colleague neil harvey discussed the details with sports correspondent alexey. i suppose anybody's guess at this stage what's your opinion how do you think it's going to play out it's not set in stone obviously because the opposition has been very vocal and has been a lot of opposition to the russian reinstatement within water. particularly from the u.s. anti-doping agency frankly it stinks to high heaven why should stop the sleight of hand and release the new compliance review committee recommendation as well as any information received from russia now showing their compliance also the u.k. anti-doping agency came out with statements and even letters to wider and even a clip of your clip that they posted on twitter basically urging white and not to take this u. turn there is a what a vote taking place on the twenty fifth attempt which is critical to the future of

clean spool get behind hash tag no you don't want to thank you do not eat or on the russian brain math do not fail all athletes across the world protect clean sport i think they want to make sure that this stigma attached of the last three years sticks and in other words you know it and russia will be allowed back into sport they want to make sure that every time any commentator on any radio or t.v. station anywhere in the world mentions a russian athlete they say they make mention of the fact that they've served three years you know example because some go in violations in reality of course every sporting nation on the planet is engaged in some kind of doping violation it's just that they've been a bit cleverer about it the russia or that russia has simply been singled out as a kind of scapegoat which would be my view frankly but at the moment we're not

about to go into that we're about to deal with the facts as they confront us and i think we will know the truth seven days from now but my feeling is that russia will be roots. now the majority of french people no longer see the united states as a reliable partner that's according to a new poll parents which currently settle on the name donald for that son and while many often struggle to choose the right name it's not always up to them to decide.

promote the world's largest program by usa id ever created for female empowerment has been an utter failure in afghanistan well that's according to the head of a us watchdog agency in the country don't suck oh well so said to us that idea of a sold the project sounds light to american taxpayers and the afghan people when the project first started twenty fifty well back then the project was budgeted at two hundred sixteen million dollars and the organization also hopes to persuade

other countries to contribute and doubling the funding it was designed to help more than seventy five thousand women in afghanistan find jobs and other opportunities to ensure that inclusion in politics and business a great promise for a new generation of afghani women. since two thousand and one the door has been reopened for afghan women millions of afghans have sent their daughters to school women join the workforce they joined the police the army and entered politics but this is just the beginning for still hundreds of thousands of women across afghanistan ready to learn ready to work ready to help build your nation's future. that's what promote is all about. so far the project has cost american taxpayers almost nineteen million dollars is the reports by the watchdog agency says over the past three years only fifty five out of seventy five thousand women found

a job and it's unclear if the program could be credited for that we spoke about the situation with antiwar news that is said jason did who says many could see the problems from the outset. i don't think it's surprising. this this is kind of better standard usaid behavior in afghanistan and in other countries they get these ideas that something would be done that would help afghanistan like in this case and power women they don't really have a great idea how they could even do that there's over ambition there's a tendency to over promise to the rest of ministration and there's also a tendency to simply next care if things don't get done so long as there's temporarily the illusion that they're tackling the problem if you read special inspector general reports on a regular basis you see that this happens all the time that these programs are almost only it's too expensive they deliver a little bit about things and then there's not much accountability here and.

u.s. officials say at least five people have been killed since tropical storm florence made landfall on the east coast and beyond battering north and south carolina florence was downgraded from a category one hurricane on friday afternoon but is still causing widespread devastation bringing with it strong winds and heavy rain currently six hundred thousand homes and businesses that are without power and as expected there will be catastrophic flooding over the weekend officials say that around one point seven million people in the carolinas and virginia have been told to evacuate their homes it's not known however how many have actually left. plenty more stories coming your way off this very short break stay with us.

a under fifty trillion in. back facebook is under fire after the left wing think progress web site found itself censored by a conservative fact checker is the sake news hunt is part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent the election interference and exercise time to control of the what uses the online news feeds. news outlets are the only players a risk under this system as a legal matter facebook is treading on very dangerous ground by providing no oversight of its own fact checking operation according to its new policy is

facebook demotes articles related by its fact checkers as false significantly reducing the post distribution and think progress is not the first case to hit the headlines artie's kaleb more paying us more. facebook's new fact checking efforts are going a splendidly now that's a statement that definitely would not pass their fact checkers face book the social media giant has recently begun efforts to crack down on fake news now the result has been a fight bigger than they could have expected the first side to come out swinging was the right wing with the president himself speaking up you look at google facebook twitter and other social media giants and i've made it clear that we as a country cannot tolerate political censorship blacklisting ad where a search results but it didn't take too long for the left to start crying foul with

roughly the same grievances as the right but the fake news crackdown in which an anonymous fact checker gets to decide what's true and what's not won't stop with news articles at this point facebook has announced it's going to start fact checking videos as well as photographs the reason that's important is because when people come to facebook and they're throwing their news they can see the information in a link i think i've also seen a photo or video and some pieces of photos or videos maybe more believable so perhaps this crackdown on photographs is based on allegations that somehow russia meddled in the twenty six thousand election with facebook memes but where do you draw the line what's an obvious joke and what's considered to be fake news let's take a look at some social media favorites is it laughing or lying. i

don't think it's possible for any social media platform certainly not facebook with its track record to actually determine fairly. which news is real and which news is fake will this will have what's known as a chilling effect on free speech in the united states and there there have been very few efforts to take this into the courts to make this a free speech first amendment issue but mark mark my words because of the chilling effect that this will have on free speech this may indeed even reach the supreme court so when facebook has someone behind a keyboard someplace determining whether or not your post gets suppressed they don't just risk losing their authenticity as a personalized platform in which users get to represent themselves they also risk becoming another dead dry news source losing their sense of humor. r.t. new york. he's blasted
