the well paying watchdog says they will discuss reinstating the russian anti-doping agency as a member with the suspended in twenty fifteen amid claims they. also french people say the u.s. is no longer trusted ally as his president prepares to cozy up to once more a head of an official business. and the world's biggest. president by usa idea not done turned out to be another failure as according to

a reports released by washington in the country. watching r.t. international with me mickey aaron great to have you with us. now the russian report is that positive urine samples were systematically swapped for clean ones on top of that it describes how salt cafe granya was added to clean samples to make the match dirty ones and trick the trash. that information came courtesy of. another question this raises how do you swap the samples of a high security which is swiss manufacturer 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 a not seen. i've seen it done and i've inspected it and it can be done it can be

reinserted we don't know how the russians did it but we know that it can be done but despite all the questions and doubts over mclaren's evidence russian athletes are being punished on and on president and sky i have that 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 the international authorities as well as athletes have lashed out over the possibility of being reinstated even get a catastrophe earlier my colleague neil harvey discuss the details with artie's or correspondent alexia. 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 wada. 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 twentieth of september 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 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 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 despite what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents mccrone and trump parties shola do penske picks up the

story. it was all wrong dave who 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 that handshake. previously at the g twenty matt cohen had cozied up the trunk making a bee line for him during the family photo or what other will be just looked on in astonishment but since there was a first intimate moments it seems the relationship has somewhat cooled as if we have found sure fruits who have come to our aid the united states of america is one of them the prisoners 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. of postwar multilateralism seems to turn his back on this common history but could the bromance be about to be rekindled trumpets 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 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 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. idea is

i would say jim 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 then 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 usa are in divergence. i'm pro-american i travel to the us 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 because keep trying takes decisions that are in the reasonable and secure me a little bit kid tracks everything which is not good he creates tensions only thinks about himself not about his speech 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 has met him in presidents he is not a good person much corn isn't firing back at them 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 you can ski. paris with french people not particularly fond of the u.s. and it's laid out it's 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 am power meant has been an utter failure in afghanistan that's according to the head of the us watchdog agency in the country also saw up close said usa id oversold the project so lied to american taxpayers when it started and twenty fifteen well back then the project was budgeted at two hundred sixteen million dollars and the

organization also hopes to persuade other countries to contribution doubling the funding it was designed to help more than seventy five thousand women in afghanistan find jobs and other opportunities to ensure their 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 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 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 ditz who says many could see the problems from the outset. i don't think it's surprising. this this is kind of better standard 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 not care if things don't go along and 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 only 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 fire afternoon but is still causing widespread devastation bringing with it strong winds and heavy rain well currently over 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 weskit teams have been deployed amid reports a growing number of locals who chose to stay behind have become trapped by the rising waters. well still to come this hour facebook is on the fly off to its war on a fake news led to a left wing web site being censors with the details for you after the break.

still dollars dollar bills ten dollar bill front of a bill 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 twenty one twenty two trillion in debt. don colluding with the medicare medicaid social security that would give it a under under fifty trillion and that. two thirds. do not have five hundred dollars. as crazy no value proposition doesn't have money for. maintaining thirteen aircraft areas

around the room why why do you change your policies and do something that is good for the lakers. and good in the long room. welcome back now facebook is under fire after the left wing think progress web site found itself by conservative. fike the fake news hunt is part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and exercise time to control over what you say online news feeds. news onus 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 a facebook and demoed so articles rated by as fact check is this false significantly reducing the post distribution and we also now stuff fact checking videos and means posted on the platform scalable 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 facebook 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 if you look at google facebook twitter and know they're social media giants and i've made it clear that we as a country cannot tolerate political soaps are ship blacklisting ad rage

sure sure 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 reasons it's so important is because when people come to facebook and they're throwing in their news they can see information in a link but they can also seen a photo or video and some pieces and photos or videos may be 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 posts get suppressed they don't just risk losing their authenticity as a personalized platform in which the users get to represent themselves they also

risk becoming another dead dry news source losing their sense of humor. artsy new york. has blasted a car into space plans to put people on a models that now says he's sending a mystery passenger around the moon but while the well to follow his every eccentric endeavor of tech billionaire it seems feel hanging on to his words when it comes to his spooky predictions for the future as pony boy explains. even in moscow a real world tony stark would just start praising nods we have to decide because in case you missed it if you can't you may depend on it. the thing with ease on is that none of us can be really sure that he's one of us he's building spaceships to take people to mas but is that because he's just trying to get home it's odd listening to morning about the dangers of artificial intelligence when you're seventy five percent sure he is a robot himself i'm not saying he looks all that well these 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 giggles which is what any of us would do if we could. rescue this kid in the predicate and to mean about last summer we must have it is quite learning the rescue out of peter twice he didn't get much more human than perhaps musk is most useful as a barometer for human stupidity it's called cause to add some sixty dire warnings about the dystopian 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 a member of 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 last time i do be. 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 rush in if the mosque fails to save the world nice once you complete and utter. and if you have something to say we'd love to hair if i do get in touch by following us on social media we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines join us then. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the walls already on the table which are direct it's that's discrimination and margin the way zation of the ukrainian orthodox church once such a law if acceptance will presuppose that the ukrainian norse in 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 put sings the. yellow star on the georgians the infields this. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to crush the demonstrations when for be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is

always spontaneous or is it just no lawyer here i mean your list put video through me in the new bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who to vote had invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. the swarm see the blue of them so moving. to build you a school or book or was before. much of those who heard it's a preview or was few other movies to see him with the north we will. move. move really.

cool show you just look beautiful little mutants who glitter a good. movie and just love most of these girls will give you films for good girl. to go to shows look look you're the same you belong to show the story to the issue go. to start ups to organise some to get to new details of it with the little missed dates to look at is it. just tough standard chance to just meet the mashed old truck stop the president from the speech from this morning until. the three of petitions to go to school to snoop or come up when you look at those the girls are with you serious approach to your machine station shouldn't throw you should cook golf with one whose deal does the ripples through.

their walls already on the table which are direct at that's discrimination and marginalization of the ukrainian orthodox church once such a law if accepted will presuppose that the ukrainian orse of the church should change its name and that it should be. named the russian force the church in the ukraine if there's something like putting slee in. hilo. on the georgians the here in future just so george.

timex kaiser this is the kaiser report the show that takes you down a rabbit hole abandons you you get beat up we don't care. so sick max we are in washington d.c. because we are refugees from hurricane florence which is hitting north carolina where we normally reside and do the show but here we are in washington d.c. the swamp is truly drained here because it seems everybody else that's left town for fear of hurricane florence it is also the ten year anniversary of the great financial crisis in the collapse of lehman brothers which many in the mainstream media say that set it all off but really it all started before then the financial crisis i want to look at op ed that the new york times published on behalf of ben bernanke hank paulson and timothy geithner remember when lehman brothers collapsed timothy geithner was the head of the new york fed which is really the federal reserve bank of america ben bernanke he was the head of the federal reserve

bank and hank paulson was the treasury secretary and they let lehman collapse and then came to the rescue of all their friends well they wrote an op ed about basically concern trolling that there could be another financial crisis and first pointing out how much they as you know federal reserve bank chairmen and people involved in that helped rescue the system back then they said although we and other financial regulators did not foresee the crisis but kaiser foresaw the crisis i might add we moved aggressively to stop acting in its traditional role as lender of last resort the federal reserve provided massive quantities of short term loans to financial institutions facing runs while cutting interest rates nearly to zero the treasury department stopped iran on money market funds by providing a backstop for investors the treasury also managed to take over their mortgage. it's fannie mae and freddie mac. and worked with the fed to try to prevent the collapse of large systemically important financial firms the federal deposit insurance corporation guaranteed bank

debt protected depositors by the way the title of this op is called what we need to fight the next financial crisis for a while the key phrase there is they run on money market. so in a functioning economy there is no such thing as a run on a money market you have trade you have business you have an economy and it's a zero sum game unless there's something amiss unless you have.
