he was taken out. of. the headlines an r.t. the world anti-doping watchdog says it will discuss train states in the russian anti doping agency as a member after it was suspended and twenty fifteen made claims of state sponsored cheating also to. french people polled say the u.s. is no longer a trusted ally that this president prepares to cozy up once more ahead of an official visit on the world's biggest program by u.s. aid in afghanistan turns out to be enough of a failure as according to a report by washington's watchdog in the country.

hello there welcome it's three pm here in moscow you're watching international. the russian anti-doping agency could be reinstated his been suspended since twenty fifteen amid allegations of state backed cheating it comes after the compliance review committee of the world anti-doping agency recommended it is brought back the final decision though will be made to 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 or solders road map to compliance it is important for us to reinstate the next world executive meeting we 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 rule well when it was suspended while they gave russia a list of commitments to win reinstatement majority of which it says russia has failed 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 though the offer of access to min dependent 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 that list has called for russia to acknowledge its complicity in paying russia they deny such a state program ever existed but has admitted there was widespread dating and there were issues with his anti doping system here's a look back at the allegations the damning mclaren report on alleged state

sponsored doping in russia has led to many athletes being stripped of their medals 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. asked for more conclusive proof the document was covered with the phrase how to demonstrate next 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 for 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 much co the sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover disport 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 salts and

nest cafe granules were 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 have seen it i've seen it done in either inspect 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. we want international authorities as well as athletes to have lashed out over the possibility of resign being reinstated even

doubling it as a catastrophe earlier my colleague neil harvey discuss details the. correspondent oleksiak shifts 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 wada particular 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 what a vote taken 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 turned 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 ties despite what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents and trump with more details now he shouted. it was a wrong dave 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 to trump making a beeline for him during

a family photo or what other wealthy 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 prisons to the of the american president by my son is a son of a friendship which is 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 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 has 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 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 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 it will keep trying to take this is instead 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 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 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 the french but now he has a charm offensive to deal with his own people and the u.s. president show it to. paris now with french people not particularly fond of the u.s. and its leader it is perhaps unlikely that many new parents would currently settle on the name donald for their son and while many often struggle to change the right name it's not always up to them to decide.

now the world's largest program for female empowerment has been branded an utter

failure in afghanistan that's according at least to the head of the u.s. watchdog agency in the country joan sopo also said that usaid actually oversold the promote project and lie to american taxpayers when it started back in twenty fifteen back then the project was budgeted more than two hundred million dollars the organization hoped to to persuade other countries to contribute and to double the funding it was designed to help more women in afghanistan find jobs and other opportunities to ensure their inclusion in politics and business since two thousand and one the door has been reopened for afghan women millions of afghans have sent their daughters to school women joined 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 ninety million dollars but out of the seventy five thousand women it's only resulted in fifty five of them finding a job and the watchdog even said it's unclear whether the program can even be credited with that we spoke about the situation with antiwar news every situation does he says that 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 there is something they 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 the 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 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 now been killed since tropical storm florence made landfall on the east coast and began battering north and south carolina florence was deep downgraded from a category one hurricane on friday afternoon but is still causing widespread devastation bringing with it strong winds and also heavy rain well currently over six hundred thousand homes and businesses 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 so important is because when people come in and there's a problem there needs a little they could see false information in a link but they could also seen

a photo or video and somebody says photos or videos and making more believable so perhaps this crackdown on photographs is based on allegations that somehow russia meddled in the twenty six thousand election with facebook means 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 well 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 first lies platform in which users get to represent themselves they also risk becoming another dead dry news source losing their sense of humor. art see new york . and he has blasted a car into space plans to put people on mas in this ninety saying he is sending a mistry passenger around the moon but while the world does follow every eccentric endeavor of tech but in a long musk it does seem that few hiding on his every word when it comes to his predictions for the future. expects. even in moscow

this a little of the. 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 food bust if you 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 in 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 nomic 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 the law 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.
