crees you. know for your population doesn't have money and your money minting thirteen aircraft carriers are on the move why why did you change your policies and do something that is good for the ag. and good in the long room. the world anti doping watchdog says it will discuss reinstating the russian anti-doping agency as the number was suspended in twenty fifteen and with claims of state sponsored cheating. more than half of french people polled say the u.s. is no longer a trusted ally about this president mcraney prepared to cozy up to trump once more ahead of an official visit. to the world's biggest women them power meant program by us a idea in afghanistan turned out to be an utter failure not according to

a report released by washington's watchdog in the country. a warm welcome and a very good morning to you your watching on t.v. international with me if you are in. the russian anti-doping agency could be reinstated has been suspended since twenty fifteen are made allegations of state bank cheating and it comes out of the compliance review committee of the world anteater an 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 sports 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 ever solders road map to compliance it is important for us to reinstate rosado the next while the executive meeting we await the decision on september twentieth with hope believe me we did

everything that we could and we already to further cooperate with our foreign partners to continue to work in this direction and follow common rules which are equal for all. well when i was suspended want to gave russia a list of commitments to win reinstatement the majority of which is as russia has now fulfilled i keep point has been a lack of access to data and song polls 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 complacency and doping russia denies any such program ever existed but has admitted they were issues within its anti doping system let's take

a look at the allegations that 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 next almost every athlete's name moreover it was admitted by water but in many cases the evidence provided may not be sufficient to bring successful caseys dr richard mclaren's findings were issued in two parts they claim that over a thousand russian athletes were involved in a state sponsored doping program let's meet the report's 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 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 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 an s.

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 in either inspected 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 says well

as outlays have lashed out over the possibility over saddam being reinstated even they get a catastrophe my colleague neil harvey discussed the date has with r.t. sports correspondent alex thier. 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 water not to take this u. 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

turned 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 over taxed 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. the majority of french people no longer see the united states as a reliable partner according to a new poll which suggests a deepening crack in transatlantic time is now despite what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents mccrone and trump. do penske picks up the story. it was a wrong dave who in the city of love cemented a new brooding relationship to world leaders plenty of hugs and the odd whisper it was all in the handshake.

previously at the g. twenty matt go ahead cozied up to trump making a beeline for him during the family photo or what other will be just looked on in the store which meant that since there was a first intimate moments it seems the relationship has somewhat cooled as it. is fruits who have come to our aid the united states of america is one of them the president's to the 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. 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 are 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. u.s. a country that for so long as being a trusted ally and who has replaced america there's old you know our vision of europe and the world is quite close to germany's this book i don't have confidence in the us they don't care about france for them it's just the way to impose their ideas i would say to me is the most important french ally and england the u.s. 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 prosecuted because i think the most important ally on the political level is germany today france and the us a divergence. i'm pro-american i travel to the us barrie 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 because keep trying takes decisions that are only reasonable and secure me a little bit he tracks everything which is not good he creates tensions only thinks about himself not about he's people or neighbors. i'm not in favor of him but we need to recognize that his politics protect the american economy he's very disrespectful toward everyone who's met him in presidents who is not a good person much corn isn't fairing a lot better than trump when it comes to winning over the french but now he has a charm offensive to deal with his own people and the u.s. president show it to. paris with french people not particularly fond of the u.s. and its leader is unlikely my new parents would currently settle on the name donald

for their son and while many often struggle to choose the right name it's 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 the us watchdog agency in the country also don't stop costo that u.s. ai day oversold the project on lights to american taxpayers when it started and twenty fifteen well back then the projects was budgeted at two hundred sixteen million dollars and the organization also hopes to persuade other countries to contribute 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 business and 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 they 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 help build your nation's future. that's what promote is all about so far the project has cost american taxpayers almost nine hundred million dollars the report by the watchdog agency says over the past three years only fifty five out of seventy five thousand women found a job adding it's unclear if the program could be credited for that we spoke about the situation with antiwar news that it said jason did sue says many could see the problems from the outset i don't think it's. this this is kind of bad usa behavior in afghanistan or in other countries to get these ideas that something would be done that would help in this case and power when they don't really have a great idea. those. overambitious there's

a tendency to over promise the rest of ministration and there's also a tendency to simply next share if things don't. 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 began battering north and south carolina florence was downgraded from a category one hurricane on friday afternoon but if still causing widespread devastation bringing with those strong winds and heavy rain are currently over sixty six hundred thousand homes and businesses are without power and it's expected there will be catastrophic flooding throughout the weekend officials say that

around one point seven million people in the carolinas and virginia have been told to evacuate their homes rescue teams have been deployed amid reports a growing number of locals whose chose to say behind has become trapped by the rising waters. still to come this hour facebook is under fire after its war of fake news led to a left wing web site being censored by the details for you after this break. when lawmakers manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final.

merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room stick. to the. bill dollars dollar bills ten dollar bill find out about. thirty seven billion of those are printed every day there's no backing there's no collateral there iou against a system that has twenty or twenty one twenty two trillion in debt. down colluding with the medicare medicaid social security that would give it a under two hundred fifty trillion.

welcome back facebook is undefined off to the left wing think progress website found itself censored by conservative checa is the fake news hunt is part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and exercise tighter control over what uses see on the news feeds news outlets on the only plays a risk under the 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 some schools rated by its funk checkers as false significantly reducing the post distribution it will also now staunch fun checking videos and memes posted on the platform on teens chemical open takes a closer look. 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 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 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. but also to kind to space plans to put people on models and now he says his sending a mystery passengers at the moon but while the world follows every eccentric and death of tech billionaire musk it seems few are hanging on to his words when it comes to his spooky predictions for the future as pilot boy explains. even in moscow a real world tony stark would just start grazing nods we have to decide because in

case you missed it if you can't use it you may depend on it. the thing with the eleven is that none of us can be really sure that he's one of us he's building space ships to take people to mas but it is not because he's just trying to get home it's odd listening to warn you about the dangers of artificial intelligence when you're seventy five percent sure he is a road boy himself i'm not saying you looks all that well of leave but you know what i'm saying. of course there are signs of humanity from within i mean the guy put a cog into orbit around the sun just and get goals which is what any of us would do if we could. rescue this kid predicated to mean about last summer we must return to his point learning the rescue of a peter twenty he didn't get much more human than perhaps musk is most useful as a barometer for human stupidity. broadcast he had some sixty dire warnings about

the distance the a nightmare we are walking into with our eyes glazed for example that google is basically just to try and say i'm going to be programmed by the entire human race robots will soon move so fast the easy able to see them using straight light and airy machines assume that our god as insignificant irrelevant monkey love is the headline that everyone came out with they even must smoked weed legally. to see all that coming you'd be smoking something stronger than that in back so start it's a test let them go because the last time i do be when they are ignoring the fact that a man who has learned that ismay shipped in the sea is probably less pressing on time and a bunch of brainiac bankers are actually hedging against a man making electric cars and protect the environment that means that they will trash it and if the mosque fails to save the world nice once you complete and utter . well if you have something to say would love to hear it so i

do get in touch by following guys on social media and leaving all your comments that will be back with the latest headlines the top of the hour join us then if we can. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
