as crazy. voyeur population doesn't have money and your money maintaining thirteen aircraft carriers around the world why while you change your policies and do something that is good for the local school and good in the long run. headlines this hour the world anti doping watchdog says it will discuss reinstating the russian and their contagion see is a member after be suspended in twenty fifteen amid claims of state sponsored cheating also to come little than half the french people polled say the u.s. is no longer trusted ally at its present background prepares to cozy up to trump once more ahead of an official visit on the world's biggest women empowerment program by usaid in afghanistan did turn out to be a failure according to a report on washington's watchdog in the country.

well i welcome just gone four pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international in our top story this hour the russian anti-doping agency could be reinstated it's been suspended since twenty fifteen amid allegations of state backed cheating and it comes after the compliance review committee of the world anti-doping agency recommended it's brought back the final decision 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 letter is sufficiently acknowledged the issues identified in russia therefore fulfilling the first of the two outstanding criteria of responders 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 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 the majority of which it says russia has now fulfilled a key point there has been a lack of access to data and sample stored in the moscow lab the world anti-doping agency though now says the offer of access to an independent expert would actually 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 paying skein the list has called for russia to acknowledge its complicity in de ping russia though denies such a program ever existed but has admitted there were issues within its anti doping system here's 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 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 in two pods they claim that over a thousand russian athletes were involved in a state sponsored doping program let's meet the report 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'd 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 by. the sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover doping scheme. with. the central allegation of mclaren to court is that positive year in samples were systematically swapped for clean ones on top of that it describes how so. cafe granules 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 parcel 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 enough seen it i've seen it done and i'll be inspected if 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 an unprecedented scale i have the we will be able to see some evidence for what they are being punished and that is not that there are some marks on the bottles because then i would be terribly afraid of giving samples. meanwhile international authorities as well as athletes have lashed out over the possibility of russia being reinstated even doubling it a catastrophe earlier my colleague neil harvey discuss the details with r.t.

sport correspondent. 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 u. turn there is a one of those taking place on the twentieth of september which is critical to the future can spoil 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 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. now the. geraghty of french people no longer see the united states is a reliable partner according to a new poll which suggests that the crack in transatlantic ties that's despite what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents and trump more details now his shot at the bit scary. 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 it was all in the handshake. previously at the g. twenty matt cohen had those eased up to trump making a beeline for him during the family photo or what other wealthy does looked on in

astonishment but since those are 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 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 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 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. ideas if you don't prefer i would say to me is the most important franchise 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 to visit i think the most important ally on a political level is germany today france and the usa are in divergence. 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 but keep the term takes decisions

that are in reasonable and secure me a little bit he tracks everything which is not good he creates tension is 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 he's very disrespectful toward everyone has met him in presidents he is not a good person not 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 it to . paris. now with french people not particularly from then of the u.s. and its leader it's unlikely many new parents would actually 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.

now it is a day for of all stock twenty eighteen russia's largest military drills in decades in the exercise of nice which from land to see i'm not against said is there for us

in the countries far east. we're now into the last few days of the talk two thousand and eighteen war games we've seen almost everything from. formations rushing at simulated enemies to. have helicopters and jets dropping that payloads and defense missiles crisscrossing the sky with trails what's today's about is a little naval action. every branch of the military's involved air force navy together. now that the beaches speed. hypothetical mines here come the big boys that's

literally a big marine ship translation from russian and it's about to discourage its contingent to take the beach in force. yet another dusty truck ride later where it's another exercise. don't expect a show like this every year it's tremendously expensive both in money and effort but the experience knowledge gained is invaluable. but i guess if i'm posting that now u.s. officials say at least five people have been killed since tropical storm florence

made landfall on the east coast and began battering no. in south carolina florence was downgraded from a category one hurricane on friday afternoon but is still causing widespread devastation bringing with it strong winds and heavy rain 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 too 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 that you chose to stay behind have become trapped by the rising waters. international going to take a quick break morning since him. manufacture

consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is a project. we can all middle of the room sit. still dollars. 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. including the medicare medicaid social security that would give it a under thirty trial even. though

again i promote the world's largest program by usaid ever create female empowerment has been in us a failure in afghanistan at least that's according to the head of the us watchdog agency in the country also said that usaid actually oversaw the project to american tax pays when it started in two thousand and fifteen back then the project was budgeted two hundred sixteen million dollars and the organization also hope 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 to ensure their inclusion in politics and business 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 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 to help build your nation's future. that's what promote is all about. well so far the project has cost american taxpayers almost ninety million dollars the report by the watchdog agency says over the past three years only fifty five to seventy five thousand women actually found a job adding it is unclear if the program could be credited for that we spoke about the situation with antiwar news that is situated ditsy says that many could see the problems from the outset. i don't think it's surprising. does this is kind of bad usaid behavior in afghanistan or in other countries to get these ideas there is something they would be done that would help afghanistan like in this case and

powering women they don't really have a great idea. there's over ambition there's a tendency to over promise the rest ministration and there's also a tendency to simply next chair if things don't get done so long as there's temporarily be 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 hourly it's too expensive to deliver a little bit about things and then there's not much accountability at the end. that facebook is under fire after the left wing think progress web site found itself censored by the conservative fact checkers the fake news hunt is part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election day therians and exercise tight control over what users see on the news feeds. news outlets are the only players 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 deem most articles rated by its fact checkers as fall significantly reducing the post distribution but also now start fact checking videos and memes posted on the platform colored market 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 if 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 admiring

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 can also seen a photo or video and some pieces of 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 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. artsy new york. and that's how things are looking so far today here not to get there you can also keep yourself updated to with our social media pages and you can check. prosecution. to become almost. a click on where you push. the threat of fines. by the number one place you do i mean yeah yeah i mean political pressure on that goal due. to security industry knows what opponents bundled up business models used by american corporations. he's sold them could matilda's it as an abuse if you chose the i know what. the solution. is up an association between. no two can he sell some of those it is just

somebody who's going to be taking. an investigative documentary. ghost war on. two thirds of american households do not have five hundred dollars emergency cash. that's crazy you know population doesn't have money and you burning money maintaining thirteen aircraft carriers around the room why why don't you change your policies and do something that is good for the magazine. and good for make in the long run. the slowness of the budo them someone. who was before. much of those who heard the preview or. soon we will.

move. move. move showed us new beautiful media. muslim also. did you good. to go to school so look i do the same you belong to show the story to go. to starts to. get to me to fill it with the lid of the must see look it is. your stuff from understand the stand the city of london for what they were long before the fifteenth of september twenty eighth and it wasn't just socialist politicians like jeremy cool when a saw it coming those who worked in the banks themselves saw it coming and when they told their superiors they were sacked joining me now is paul more author of crash bang wallop in the former head of regulatory risk and one of the biggest

banks in the world h. boss paul thanks for coming back on they'll be acres of newsprint loads of stories about the ten year anniversary some people saying this isn't an accounting story a political story it's a criminal story it's a tale full of sound and fury but signifying nothing. the reality is that although some changes have taken place in the banking world and we talk about those in a minute if you like the reality was that it was the biggest opportunity that this world had seen for a century to regain some kind of control of the way word capitalistic system that we've got rein it in somewhat and gain control of the corporatocracy because we don't really live in democracies we live in a corporate ocracy where the big companies. control the democratic processes look you can get through every single protagonist i'm happy to do so but they're exactly the same people you've got exactly the same executives the academic evidence proves

conclusively that they have very high levels of psychopathic attribute it's very important that you have the same type of executives you're going to get the same situation occurring again you've got the same chief financial officers who do what they're told by the chief executive and keep the orders under control you've got control functions risk compliance.
