she should be called woman for she was teaching. the world anti doping watch dog says it will discuss reinstating the russian anti doping agency as a member of it was suspended in twenty fifteen amid claims of state sponsored cheating. more than half of french people polled say the u.s. is no longer a trusted ally that its president mccrone prepares to cozy up to triumph once more ahead as in an official visit. and the world's biggest women empowerment program by usa idea in afghanistan turns out to be an utter failure

codings who reports released by washington's watchdog in the country. a warm welcome and a very good morning to you watching r.t. international with me. now the russian anti-doping agency could be reinstated has been suspended since twenty fifteen amid allegations of state backed cheating comes out of 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 c.r.c. reviewed at length a letter from the russian ministry of sport to water and was satisfied that this led to sufficiently acknowledge the issues identified in russia therefore

fulfilling the first of the two outstanding criteria of resigned as road map to comply and it is important for us to reinstate the next world executive meeting with 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 rules which are equal for all what i was suspended what i gave russia a list of commitments to win that reinstatement the majority of which is as 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 office of access to an independent expert would meet its criteria however the major sticking point in the road map of compliance has been the report by richard mclaren stating that russia ran a state sponsored doping scheme the list has called for russia to acknowledge its

complicity in doping russia denies that such a program ever existed but has admitted that were issues with it sandy doping system has 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 olympics 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 dr richard mclaren's findings were issued into pogs they claim that over

a thousand russian athletes were involved in a state sponsored doping program let's meet the reports 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 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 report issued in july twenty sixth. the second came six months later so the investigative team did eventually meet with some russian officials but not batali. the sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover doping scheme.

the central allegation of mclaren's report is that positive urine samples were systematically swapped for clean ones on top of that it describes how salt next 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 he just says it can be done and that's enough have seen it i've seen it done and i have inspected it and it can be done and 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 for what they are being punished and it is not that there are some marks on the bottles because then i would be terribly

afraid of giving samples. meanwhile international dorothy's as well as athletes have lashed out over the possibility always thought of being reinstated if it doesn't get a catastrophe earlier my colleague discuss the details with r.t. sport correspondent alexy our set. 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 it's 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 new turn there is a one of those 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 you turn on the russian great match 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 if 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 rude. and the charge here frank. people no longer see the united states as a reliable partner the us according to a new poll with which suggests the deepening crack and transatlantic ties well after spying what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents mccrone and trump deepens q. picks up the story. it was all wrong dave grew in the city of love cemented a new brooding relationship to world leaders plenty of hugs and the odd whisper but it was all in the handshake.

previously at the g. twenty mack or had cozied up to trump making a bee line for him during the family photo or what other will be just looked on in astonishment but since those are first intimate moments it seems the relationship has somewhat cooled because if we are found sure fruits who have come to our aid the united states of america is one of them the prisons today of the american president by my son is the son of a friendship which has stood the test of time. the palmer with whom you are. of post-war multilateralism seems to turn his back on this common history but could the bromance be about to be rekindled trump has already confirmed he's ready for paris part with his next visit scheduled for november and while mcewan still seems

open to a special relationship with the u.s. and its president it's clear the french public i want a recent poll showed that only forty four percent of people here still see the u.s. as an ally a partner plummeting by thirty three percent since two thousand and fourteen so what parisians make of the us a country that for so long has being a trusted ally and who has replaced america is old you know our vision of europe and the world is quite close to germany's. i don't have confidence in the us they don't care about france for them it's just the way to impose their. this example i would say to me is the most important french ally and england the us used to be important but not anymore i'm among those who think that we'd rather ally with germany than with the united states france and germany are interested in hearing each other to give europe a better future reason i think that the most important ally on the political level

is germany today france and the usa are in divergence. clip i'm pro-american i travel to the s. very often but it's true that the french in general are not very favorable of the u.s. but mostly they're not against the people but against the government and the american president donald trump says only worse it takes decisions that are in reasonable and secure me a little bit to tracks everything which is not good he creates tensions only thinks about himself not about he's people or neighbors. not i'm not in favor of him but we need to recognize that his politics protect the american economy and he's very disrespectful toward everyone has met him in presidents he is not a good person not corn isn't firing a lot better than trump when it comes to winning over the french but now he has a double charm offensive to deal with hazing people and the us president show that deep in ski oxy paris well with french people not particularly fond of the u.s.

and his later on is unlikely many new parents would currently settle on the name donald for their 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 and a failure in afghanistan that's according to the head of the us watchdog agency in the country also codes that the usa id over solve the projects on lied to american taxpayers when it started in twenty fifteen well back then the project was budgeted at two hundred and sixteen million dollars and the organization also hopes to persuade other countries to contribution doubling their funding well it was designed to help more than seventy five thousand women in afghanistan find jobs and other opportunities to ensure that inclusion in business in politics a great promise for a new generation of afghan 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 to join 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 every day help build your nation's future that's what promote is all about well so far the project has cost american taxpayers almost nineteen million dollars they were appalled 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 it's we spoke about the situation with antiwar news editor jason ditz who says many could see the problems from the outset. i don't think it's surprising. this this is kind of better

under usa behavior in afghanistan and in other countries they get these ideas that something would be done that would help afghanistan like in this case empowering 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 a 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 always it's too expensive they deliver a little bit about things and then there's not much accountability at the end. u.s. officials say at least five people have been killed since tropical storm florence made landfall on the east coast and began battering north and south carolina florence was downgraded from a category one hurricane on friday afternoon but is still causing widespread

those are printed every day there's no backing there's no collateral there iou against a system that has twenty twenty one twenty two trillion in debt. non-clinging for them and the medicare medicaid social security that would give it a under two hundred fifty trillion in. on the table which. discrimination and emerge in the way of the ukrainian orthodox church one. if acceptance will presuppose that the ukrainian norse of the church should change its name and that it should be a name to the russian orthodox church in the ukraine it is something like the.

one the georgians the in. combating facebook is under fire after the left wing think progress web site found itself censored by conservative five checa is the fake news hunt is part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and exercise tighter control over what users see on the news feeds. news outlets on the only play is 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 policies facebook demotes articles related by its fact checkers as falls significantly reducing the post distribution it will also now start fact checking videos and memes post on the

platform are more pain reports. 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 there's no internet they can see information in a link but they could also seen a photo or video and some pieces and photos or videos might be more believable so perhaps this crackdown on photographs is based on allegations that somehow russia meddled in the twenty sixteen 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 new 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. has blasted a car into space plans to put people on models that are now says he's sending a mystery passenger to the moon but while the world follows every eccentric and

the long run. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance i'm part children in washington d.c. today we welcome you to a special edition of busted we focus on the great recession which is now a decade in our rearview mirror we'll look at the causes of the calamity and what went down on that rough and rocky road to ruin and how it incredibly impacted the u.s. the eurozone and the rest of the world plus we'll look at where we are now how safe are we from another monstrous economic meltdown and what might be the next point and crisis ready let's go we start with bill clinton a democrat who was u.s.

president and his financial policies clinton nomics which began in one nine hundred ninety three when he took office and lasted until he left in january of two thousand and one he started following the single term of george herbert walker bush a republican now known by many as bush forty one or simply forty one president clinton was handed a growing economy from bush forty one with annual gross domestic product g.d.p. rate of three point five percent the good economy was however partially premised upon years and years of increasing spending and rising us budget deficits clinton nomics sought to keep the economy going while balancing the deficit and with the help of congress which was then controlled by democrats legislation was passed to increase taxes on the wealthy furthermore defense spending was cut from five point two percent of g.d.p. in one nine hundred ninety to just three percent in two thousand the house passed

the tax increase without a single republican vote that vote was particularly difficult for democrats after bush forty one has popularized this phrase. push and i'll say no. and they'll push again and i say to them read my lips ah and candidates for congress were asked to take no new tax pledges and while the bill passed it cost many democrats their election in one nine hundred ninety four republicans won control of the house and clinton nomics faced tougher hurdles in congress clinton omics was first kept the us economy moving along in addition to policies put in place like welfare reform and free trade deals such as the north american free trade agreement and significantly financial deregulation was taking place within the clinton administration and then through the nine hundred ninety nine gramm leach wiley law which repealed the glass

steagall act a law enacted the in one nine hundred twenty nine after the stock market crash as banks were being destroyed during the great depression the last stigall importantly separated investment banking from commercial banking the concern was the improper speculating role commercial banks were playing in the stock market using in part their own customers money they were seriously self-serving some said greedy and place not only the financial sector but the entire economy in precarious peril and when those bank speculative bets went bad the markets melted down crashing with contagion not only amongst the banks but other companies and other sectors of the economy for the last years of the clinton administration the economy was booming with excellent growth the last year in one thousand nine hundred nine g.d.p. was four point eight percent but the us federal government actually had a budget surplus it had been two decades since that occurred but one not so notice thing was this thing taking place at

a little agency that was pretty unmemorable rather it's called the c f t c the u.s. commodity futures trading commission the c f t c chairwoman brooksley born who had come into the clinton administration later. one thousand nine hundred six saw a problem with financial deregulation and critically had huge concerns about unregulated markets called o.t.c. markets or dark markets that sound scary as it should because these were bets on what they stuck might be worth in the future be it a day or year or a month or more regulators or had no view was taking place they had no view as to what was taking place and nobody knew what or how much was being wagered nor the exposure the risk that is of the entities engaged in the trading so chair boren work with the p.w.g. the president's working group which included secretary of treasury and chairs of the federal reserve securities and exchange commission and herself to see f.t.c. but none of the others were concerned about dark o.t.c. markets after all clinton nomics.
