your vision starting there was the sting of the fundies up in these crowds and with . the world anti-doping more so it says that it will discuss reinstating the russian on to doping agency is a member after suspended in twenty fifteen amid claims of state sponsored cheating . more than half of french people polled say that the u.s. is no longer a trusted ally to suppose that my cozy up to the trump wants more of an official visit. to russia's largest military drills in decades exercise in the country's far east switch from long to

see. today's about a little. the world's biggest women and power the program by usaid in afghanistan turned out to be an utter failure according to a report by washington's watchdog in the country. thanks for joining us very good evening this is r.t. international. the russian anti-doping agency could be reinstated it's been suspended since twenty fifteen amid allegations of state bank cheating and it comes after the compliance review committee of the world anti-doping agency recommended it be 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 sports to water and was satisfied that this

letter sufficiently acknowledged the issues identified in russia therefore fulfilling the first of the two outstanding criteria every side has 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 we did everything that we could and we are ready to for the corporate with our foreign partners to continue to work in this direction and follow common rules which are equal for all. when it was suspended water gave russia a list of commitments to win reinstatement the majority of which says russia has now fulfilled a key point those been lack of access to data and samples stored in the moscow laboratory the world anti-doping agency now says the offer of access to an independent expert would meet its criteria however the major sticking point in this road map of compliance has been the reporter richard mclaren that stated russia ran a state sponsored doping scheme

a list call for russia to acknowledge it complicity in doping russia denies such a program ever existed but it has admitted there were there was widespread doping and that there were issues with its anti-doping system is 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 of

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 riposte 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 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 by. the sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover doping scheme.

quick. the central allegation of mclaren's report is that positive year in samples were systematically swapped for clean ones on top of that it describes how so. nest cafe granny was added to clean sample to make the match dirty ones and trick the trash that. that information came courtesy of. another question this raises how do you swap the samples of a high security 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 have seen it i've seen it done in i've inspected it can be done in 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. in wall international thora he says well as athletes have lashed out over the possibility of additional other being reinstated even doubling it a catastrophe earlier discussed the details with r.t. sport correspondent alexia vicious. 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 what not to take

this new 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 term order thank you do not you turn 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 that though the tach 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 big 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 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. the majority of french people no longer see the united states as being a reliable partner that's according to a new poll which suggests a deepening crack in transatlantic ties despite what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents macron and trump artie shaw that do basically picks up the story . it was all wrong dave 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 eat up the trunk making a beeline for him during the family photo or what other wealthy does looked on in astonishment but since there was a first intimate moments it seems the relationship has somewhat cooled because if we are found sure is fruits who have come to our aid the united states of america is one of them the prisoners 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. 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 mcallen still seems open to a special relationship with the u.s. and its president it's clear the french public aren't 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 as being a trusted ally and who has replaced america or do 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 the. 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. 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 barry often but it's true that the french in general are not very favorable of the us but mostly they're not against the people but against the government and the american president donald trump fares only worse it 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 has met him 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. with french people not particularly fond of the u.s. and its leader it's unlikely many new parents would currently settle on the name donald for the sun and while many often struggle to choose the right name it's not always up to them to decide.

ok stay for live twenty eighteen russia's largest military drills for decades the exercises of now switch from land to say and i guess the air is there for us in the countries far east go by your population doesn't have money and money maintaining thirteen aircraft carriers around the world why why don't you change your policies and do something that is good for the magazine and good.

welcome back the world's largest program 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 said that the usa did oversold the promote project and they lied to the american taxpayer is when it started back in two thousand and fifteen back then the project was budgeted two hundred million dollars the organization hoped to persuade other countries to contribute and double that 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 projects 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 that it's unclear whether the program can even be credited with that we spoke about the situation with anti war you said to jason ditz he says many could see the problems from the beginning. i don't think it's surprising. there's this is kind of been usaid behavior in afghanistan and in other countries big these ideas there 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 do that there's over ambition there's a tendency to over promise turn the rest so you ministration and there's also a tendency to simply nax care if things don't get done so long as there's temporarily the illusion that they're tackling

a route well if you read special inspector general reports on a regular basis you see that this happens all the time that these programs are are most only it's too expensive they deliver little or nothing and then there's not much accountability and. facebook is under fire after the left wing think progress web site found itself censored by conservative checkers fake news turn to sponsor facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and exercise tighter control over what you just see on the news feeds news outlets on the only player is 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 demotes articles deemed to be fake by its fact checkers significantly reducing the post distribution it will also now start fact checking videos a means posted on the platform or to kill

a morbid as the story. 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 a growing internet they can see information in a link but they can 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 united states and the us this is the last. post i did on this is the old business stopping there was listing of all the funnies up on these cards on the front. imax kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is a hedge fund and a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more exposed them . totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for a while because we're for. this
