allegations of state back cheating and it comes after the compliance review committee of the world anti-doping agency recommended it's brought back the final decision they 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 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 war the 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 when it was suspended while they gave russia a list of commitments to win reinstatement majority of which it says russia has now filled a key point two has been

a lack of access to data and sample stored in the moscow lab the world and he doping agency now says though 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 they ping skein the list has called for russia to acknowledge its complicity in doping russia they deny 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 at the allegations a damning mclaren report on alleged state sponsored doping in russia has led to many athletes being stripped of their medals not to take this u. turn there is a what a vote taking place on the twenty fifth september which is critical to the future of clean sport get behind hash tag no u.-turn order thank you do not uter on the russian brain do not fail all athletes across the world protect clean

sport i think they want to make sure this tach of the last three years sticks and you know the words you know. no russian 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 in exile because some go being 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 the russians 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 roots that. the majority of french people no longer see the united states as a reliable partner at least according to a new poll which suggests the deepening crack in the transatlantic ties that's despite what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents macron and trump john of the picks up the story. it was all 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 that handshake. previously at the g. twenty matt cohen had no use eased up to trump 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 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. 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 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. i would say timoney is the most important french ally 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. i think the most important ally on a political level is germany today france and the us a divergence. i'm pro-american i travel to the us barry 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 fares only worse because keep trying takes decisions that are only reasonable and secure 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 mccormack 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 well with french people they're not particularly fond of the u.s. and its leader it is unlikely that many new parents would currently settle on the name don or for their son and while many do often struggle anyway to choose the right name it's not always up to them to decide.

now it is day four of all stopped twenty eighteen russia's largest military drills

in decades and the exercises have nice which to you from land to say we're against the earth is there for us in the countries 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 almost 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. u.s. officials say that seven 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 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 are without power and residents are being warned to 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 that said rescue teams have been deployed amid reports a growing number of locals and chose to stay behind and become trapped by the rising waters. for c.r.t. still to come here this hour u.s. program costing millions to empower women in afghanistan has been branded a complete failure we'll have the details just after the break.

of american whole schools do not have five hundred dollars illegals you care. as crazy. your population doesn't have money and you're burning money maintaining thirteen aircraft carriers around the world why why would you change your policies

and do something that is good for the locals. and good in the long run. welcome back now the world's largest programme for female empowerment being branded an utter failure in afghanistan that's according at least to the head of the u.s. watchdog agency in the country john also said that u.s. aid actually oversold the project promote and lied to american taxpayers when it started back in twenty fifteen back then the project was budgeted more than two hundred million dollars and the organization also hoped to persuade two other countries to contribute to double the funding it was designed to help more women in afghanistan find jobs under the rope or to cease to 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 the seventy five thousand women it's only resulted in fifty five of them finding a job in the watchdog even said it's unclear whether the program can even be credited with that but we spoke about the situation with and he was 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 been standard 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 empowering women they don't really have a great idea how to even do that there's over ambition there's a tendency to over promise to the rest of the administration and there's also a tendency to simply not 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 always it's too expensive to deliver a little about thing and then there's not much accountability at the end. place book is under fire after the left wing think progress web site found a self sense it by conservative fact checkers fake news hunt is part of facebook's public publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and exercise tighter

control over what uses see on the news face. news onus on the any player is 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 related to her right to buy fact check is this fall will significantly reducing the post distribution it will also nice stop fund checking videos means posted on the platform as 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 rig 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 reason so important is because when people come to facebook and they're scrolling in their news they could see information in a link but they could also seen a photo or video and some pieces of 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 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
