they want to move. the world. with. these this is the. one who started on. your vision stopping there was a shooting of all things in front is up and describe some behind. the headlines in r.t. the world anti-doping watchdog says it will discuss reinstating the russian anti-doping agency as a member after it was suspended and twenty fifteen amid claims of state sponsored cheating also to come more than hard french people polled say the u.s. is no longer a trusted ally and those president like grown prepares to cozy up trump once more the head of an official visit on the world's biggest women in power program by usaid is in afghanistan turned back to being a failure apparently according to a report released by washington's watchdog in the country.

for the welcome you're watching r.t. international this saturday afternoon she's going to talk in moscow. now the russian anti-doping agency could be reinstated has been suspended since twenty fifteen amid allegations of state backed cheating comes after the compliance review committee of the world anti-doping agency recommended it is brought back 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 of reciters road map to comply and it is important for us to reinstate the next world executive meeting we
7:02 am
decision on september twentieth with hope believe me we did everything that we could and we are ready to further cooperate with our foreign partners to continue to work in this direction and follow common rules which are equal for all but when it was suspended while they gave russia a list of commitments to win reinstatement majority of which it says russia has now failed a key point though has been a lack of access to data and samples stored in the moscow lab the world anti-doping agency now says that the offer of access to an independent expert would meet its criteria however the major sticking point in the road map of compliance has always been the report by richard mclaren stating that russia ran a state sponsored scheme that list has called for russia to acknowledge its complicity in de ping russia though denies such a state program every existed but has admitted there was widespread doping and there were issues with its anti doping system so here's
7:03 am
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 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 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 but. the sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover doping scheme. kicked. the central allegation of mclaren's report is that positive urine samples were systematically swapped for clean ones on top of
7:05 am
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 bottle 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 seen it i've seen it done and i 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 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 international authorities as
7:06 am
well as the athletes have lashed out over the possibility of restart or being reinstated even doubling it a catastrophe earlier my colleague neil harvey discuss the details with r.t. sport correspondent alexia ships. 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 one of those taking place on the twenty fifth a tender which is critical to the future a clean spool get behind hash tag no you don't want to thank you do not you turned
7:07 am
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
7:08 am
think we will know the truth seven days from now but my feeling is that russia will be roots. in other news the majority. the french people no longer see the united states as a reliable partner according to a new poll which suggests they didn't mean crack in transatlantic ties that's despite what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents macro and trump with more here is charlotte to pinsky. it was all wrong dave grew in the city of love but 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 mack or had cozied up the trunk making a bee line 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 if we have 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 a 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 trumpets already confirmed he's ready for paris part with his next visit scheduled for november and while matt can 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.
7:10 am
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 ideas. example i would say timoney is the most important french ally and england the us used to be important but not anymore so 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 i think the most important ally on the political level is germany today france and the usa 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
7:11 am
the us but mostly they're not against the people but against the government and the american president donald trump says only worse because keep trying to take this is that only reasonable and scare me a little bit he tracks everything which is not good he creates tensions only thinks about himself not about his speedball 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 he 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 double charm offensive to deal with his people and the us president show it to. paris so with french people not particularly fond of the us and its leader it is unlikely perhaps that many parents would currently settle on the name gone north for their son and while many often struggle to change the right name is not always

whole schools do not have five hundred dollars emergency care. has crazy. value a population doesn't have money and you're burning money maintaining thirteen aircraft carriers around the world why why did you change your policies and do something that is good for the legacy. and good in the long run. hello again that facebook is under fire after
7:14 am
a left wing think process website found itself censored by conservative fact checkers the fake news hunt is part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and exercice tighter control over what users see on the news feet news outlets are the only players 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 but according to its new policies facebook demotes articles rated by its fact checkers is fall significantly reducing the post distribution it will also now start fact checking videos memes posted on the platform. as 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
7:15 am
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 can not tolerate political censorship blacklisting and rage 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 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
7:17 am
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. ny funnies blasted into space plans to put people on mars and now says he sending a mystery passenger around the moon but while the world follows every eccentric endeavor of tech but you know musk it does seem a hanging on to his words when it comes to his spooky predictions for the future as party boy expects. even in moscow a real world tony stark would just start praising nods we have to decide because in case you missed this if you can't you may depend on it. the thing with these 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 you about the dangers of artificial intelligence when you're seventy five percent sure he is a robot himself i'm not saying you 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 those kids in the flooded cave into me about last summer we must return how diseases like letting the rescue out of the leader twice you don'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 of a god to us as insignificant irrelevant monkey among the headlines that everyone came out with they even must smoked weed legally. for you to see all that coming you'd be smoking something stronger than that in back to the old stock in tesla simply because the last time a dubious when they were ignoring the fact that a man who has learned that ismay ship 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 crush it and if the mosque fails to save the world nice once you complete and utter . national thanks for the company to softening me back again with another update in about thirty five minutes.
