whole schools do not have five hundred dollars emergency care. as crazy you know why 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 making. and good in the long run. the world anti-doping watchdog says that it will discuss reinstating the russian anti-doping agency as a member after it was suspended in two and fifteen amid claims of state sponsored cheating. more than half of french people polled say the u.s. is no longer a trusted ally that is president among your proposed to cozy up to donald trump wants more of an official visit. twenty eight russia's largest military drills for decades exercises in the country's far east switch from

land sea. to days about a little naval action. on the world's biggest women empowerment program by u.s. aid in afghanistan turned out to be a total failure according to a report by washington's watchdog in the country. very good ending to you watching r.t. international. the russian anti-doping agency could be reinstated it's been suspended since two thousand and fifteen amid allegations of state backed cheating comes after the compliance review committee of the world anti-doping agency recommended it was brought back the final decision no 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
2:02 pm
letter is sufficiently acknowledged the issues identified in russia therefore fulfilling the first of the two outstanding criteria of resigned as road map to compliance 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 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 back reinstatement thing majority of which it says russia has now fulfilled their key points been a lack of access to data samples stored in the moscow lab the world anti-doping agency now says the offer of access to an independent expert that would meet its criteria however the major sticking point in the road map of compliance has been the report by richard mclaren the state of russia run
2:03 pm
a state sponsored doping skiing the list is called for russia to acknowledge its complicity in doping russia denies that your program ever existed but it has admitted there was widespread doping and that there were issues with this 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 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
2:04 pm
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'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 reports 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. would
2:05 pm
kick kick 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. yes cafe granya was added to clean samples to make the match dirty ones and tricks attached to. 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 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
2:06 pm
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 athletes have lashed out over the possibility of little solder being reinstated even doubling it a catastrophe earlier this cussed the details with our sports correspondent alexey oshinsky. i suppose anybody's guess at this stage what's your opinion how do you think this is 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 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
2:07 pm
this u. turn there is a what a vote taken place on the twenty for september which is critical to the future of clean spool get behind hash tag no u.-turn order thank you do not you turned on the russian brain in math do not fail all athletes across the world protect clean sport i think they want to make sure that this overtaxed of the last three years and in other words you know even the 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 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
2:08 pm
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 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 and that's according to a new poll which suggests a deepening crack in transatlantic ties that despite what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents and trump so dubiously has 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 the handshake.
2:09 pm
previously at the g twenty matt cohen had no use either up to trump making a beeline for him during the family photo or what other worldly does 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 sign of friendship which has stood the test of time. the palmer with whom you are . post-war multilateralism seems to 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 mcallen still
2:10 pm
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 u.s. a country that for so long as 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 the. example i would say to me is the most important franchise 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
2:11 pm
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 because keep him takes decisions that are only reasonable and secure me a little bit kid tracks everything which is not good he creates tensions only thinks about himself not about he speedball our 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 not 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.
2:12 pm
paris. with french people not particularly fond of the us and its leader it's unlikely many new parents would currently settle on the name donald for the us while many often struggle to choose the right day it's not always up to them to decide.
2:13 pm
ok a stay for of twenty eight t. in the us forces largest military drills to take place for decades the exercises now switching from land to see aunties and i guess the it is there in the countries far east for us. we're now into the last few days of talks two thousand and eighteen war games we've seen almost everything from. formations rushing at simulated enemies to freed's of 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 discords it's 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. five people have been killed since tropical storm florence made landfall on the east coast and began battering north and south carolina place and reported seven counties. but now revised the tally florence was downgraded from a category one hurricane on friday afternoon but still causing widespread devastation bringing with it strong winds and heavy rain causing more than six hundred thousand homes and businesses are without power residents are being warned that there will be quote catastrophic flooding throughout the weekend officials added 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 local six chose to stay behind become trapped by rising waters . ok u.s.

program costing millions to empower women in afghanistan has been branded a total failure we'll have details after the break. just manufactured and sentenced to public will. when the ruling close to some protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one person. we can all middle of the room sick. of the real news is. still dollars dollar bills ten dollar bill for the bill thirty seven billion of
2:17 pm
those are printed every day there's no backing there is no collateral there ious is against a system that has twenty two or twenty one twenty two trillion in debt. not including them and the medicare medicaid social security that would give it a under two hundred fifty trillion in. the world slaw program for female empowerment has been branded a total failure in afghanistan according to the head of the us watchdog agency in the country. john also said that usaid oversold the promote project and line to american taxpayers when it started in twenty fifty back then the project was budgeted more than two hundred million dollars the organization hoped to persuade
2:18 pm
other countries to contribution double that funding it was designed to help more women and afghanistan to 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 nineteen million dollars but out of seventy five thousand women it's only resulted in fifty five of them finding a job even the watchdog said that it's unclear whether the program can be credited for that we spoke about the situation with anti war news that it jason ditz he says that many could see the problems from the outset. i don't think it's surprising.
2:19 pm
this this is kind of been standard usaid behavior in afghanistan and in other countries to get 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 to the rest of you 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 always too expensive they deliver a little about thing and then there's not much accountability at the end. facebook is under fire after the left wing think progress website found itself censored by conservative fact checkers the fake news hunt is part of facebook
2:20 pm
publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and to exercise tighter control over what users 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 his new policies facebook demotes on to go thing to be fake by its function because significantly reducing the post distribution will so now start fact checking videos a means posted on the platform these killer 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
2:21 pm
facebook twitter and other social media giants and i've made it clear that we as a country cannot tolerate political censorship blacklisting ad where a 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 full information in a link i think i've also seen a photo or video and some pieces of photos or videos maybe 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
2:22 pm
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
2:23 pm
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. did too i mean just over half an hour's time up about with the latest news headlines. that the walls already have on the table which they are exits that's discrimination and margin the lazy son of the ukrainian orthodox church one such who if acceptance will presuppose that the ukrainian orse of the church should change its leader and
