insecticides there in the country's far east switched from land to six. days about a little. and the world's biggest women empowerment program by usaid in afghanistan did turn out to be. courting to a report by washington's watchdog in the country. can you watching our c international this saturday afternoon where she's gone five o'clock here in the russian capital. now the russian anti doping agency could be reinstated has 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 that we 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 are solders road map to compliance it is important for us to reinstate the next world executive meeting with the decision on september twentieth with hope believe me we did everything that we could and we all ready 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 it was suspended while they gave for a short list of commitments to win reinstatement majority of which it says russia has knife of failed a key point there has always been a lack of access to data and samples stored in the moscow lab the world world anti-doping agency now says though the offer of access to an independent expert but

actually meet its criteria however the major sticking point in the road map of compliance has been the reports by richard mclaren stating that russian or russia did run a state sponsored ping scheme the list does call for russia to acknowledge its complicity in doping russia though denies such a program ever existed but has admitted there was widespread doping and there were issues with its anti doping system so here's a look back then 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 water but in many cases the evidence provided may not be sufficient to bring successful cases dr richard mclaren's findings were issued into pads 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 facing charges over destroying test samples and the e-mails presented as proof of state involvement come from his own computer russian sports. fischer's deny the allegations but did richard mclaren consider to get their side of the story i'd made the 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 but. it was sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover doping scheme. could. the central allegation of mclaren report is that positive urine samples were systematically swapped for clean ones on top of that it describes how salt next cafe granya was added to clean samples to make the match dirty ones and trick the test. that information came courtesy of. another question this raises how do you swap the samples of a high security part two which is swiss manufacturer 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'll be inspected 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 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 well as that place have lashed out over the possibility of free solder being reinstated even doubling it a catastrophe earlier my colleague neil harvey discuss the details with r.t. sport correspondent alexy. 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 did she 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 wider vote taking place on the twenty fifth 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 bath 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 you know the words you know. 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 big cleverer about it the russia all that russia has simply been singled out as a kind of scapegoat which would be my view frankly but i don't 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. and the mage or. french people no longer see the united states as a reliable partner at least that's according to a new poll which does suggest a deepening crack in transatlantic ties that's despite what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents trump with more now his charlotte. it was all wrong dave in the city of love that cemented

a new brooding relationship to world leaders plenty of hugs and the odd whisper it was in that handshake. now it is day four of fosse top twenty eighteen russia's largest military drills in decades in the exercises having a switch from land to see america as there is their first in the country's far east

. we're now into the last few days of the vostok two thousand and eighteen war games which seem almost everything from last ahmed 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 cleared of 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 death but the experience knowledge gained is invaluable. but i guess if reporting u.s. officials say that seven people have been killed since tropical storm florence made landfall on the east and began battering north and south carol. liner florence was

downgraded from a category one hurricane on friday afternoon but is still causing widespread devastation bringing with it strong winds and also heavy rain currently over six hundred thousand homes and businesses are without power and residents are being warned there will be quote catastrophic flooding throughout the weekend officials out that around one point seven million people in the carolinas and virginia have been told to evacuate their homes their rescue teams have been deployed amid reports of growing a growing number of locals he shows the slate wind up becoming the traps or by the rising or. you're watching our say we're going to take a quick break more news and team. still dollars dollar bills ten dollars. thirty seven billion of those are printed

every day there's no backing there's no collateral there iou against the system that has twenty or twenty one twenty two trillion in debt. down including for them and the medicare medicaid social security that would give it a under. the table which. discrimination and emerge in the way zation of the ukrainian orthodox church one. that will presuppose. nourse of the church should change its name and that it should be a name to the russian church in the ukraine it is something.

in here. alone again the world's largest programme for female empowerment has been branded an utter failure in afghanistan that's according to the head of the us watchdog agency in the country also. also said that usa today actually oversold the project in line to american taxpayers when it started back in twenty fifteen back then the project was budgeted it more than two hundred million dollars in the organization to persuade other countries to contribute and 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 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 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 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 editor jason ditz and he says that many could see the problems from the outset i don't think it's surprising. this this is kind of bare usaid behavior in afghanistan and in other countries they get these ideas they're 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 so you 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 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 hourly it's too expensive they deliver little about things and then there's not much accountability at the end. facebook is under fire off the left wing think think progress web site found itself censored by conservative fact checkers fake news hunt is part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and exercise tight control too over what users see on the news feed. news 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 well according to its new policies facebook to most articles frighted by its fact checkers is false significantly reducing the posts distribution we also now have stopped fact checking to video use a means posted on the platform. reports. 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 you look at google facebook twitter and know their social media giants and i've made it clear that we as a country cannot tolerate political says or ship blacklisting ad 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 reasons it's so important is because when people come to facebook and they're throwing in their news they could 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 sixteen 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 shoes 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 posts get 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. that's on you rap today we're going to be back but wolf you they were not just. in a world of big partisan do things a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need. need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the

time is now for washing clothes for watches the hawks. prosecution will need to be criminals in place sure the fault is all. over you push us on this thread you'll find somebody number one place you do i mean yeah i mean i mean political pressure on the only moon called told to know through security jenison knows where to put your kind of business models he was my american corporations jadhav was incomplete police sold on good mental disease as an abuse. on the scene and the solution. lies up in association with the potato. i noted when he saw those it is just somebody that deleted data and investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy.

because the slowness of the mood of them so moving. to build your school or local was before. much of those who heard it's a particular few other movies who see him with the north we will forgo. the good move. move. move show you the stupid you have the liberal media to look for who the. more muslim also is they'll see a good few films for good girls. to go to shows so look i do the same you belong if you smoke explorer to the issue go. to start ups to. get to meet until it was a little missed don't say look it is it's. just us then understand statistics not

it's the mashed old trick to stop the president and the speech from this project until. we have produced a closeness for two snippets almost a mule because that is the cousin with you swear his supporters to your machine station shouldn't feel you should cook door for one whose job is the ripples through. the. pattern and oddly enough the odd thing. is that this county commission. might set up a set. night.

so their legibility. idea and then him and i dash need. well how about how they. look. for the little guy we. don't want out of the modern i don't want to bring up about. something you didn't really. want to. mislead just. going on the downs with. a full stomach we have been down. there in the open a little warmth and you know what. a warm welcome so. shall i do you so i don't fall for this i will spend the.

time max guys are this is the kaiser report the show that takes you down a rabbit hole of bandits 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 this 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 the 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 in other financial regulators did not foresee the crisis the kaiser port 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 the mortgage giants 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 this up is called what we need to fight the next financial crisis other key phrase there is they run on money market .
