the world anti-doping watchdog says that it will discuss reinstating the russian anti doping agency is a member of suspended in twenty fifteen amid claims of state sponsored cheating. more than half of french people polled say the u.s. is no longer a trusted ally and this president prefers to cozy up to trump once more ahead of an official visit. for a vote stop twenty eighteen that's russia's largest military drills for decades as

exercises in the country's far east switch from land sea. to days about is a little naval archer. the world's biggest women empowerment program by u.s. aid in afghanistan turned out to be another failure according to a report by washington's watchdog in the country. good evening and welcome this is r.t. international. the russian anti-doping agency could be reinstated has been suspended since twenty fifteen delegations of state bank 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 to 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 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 liens which are equal for all when it was suspended wada gave russia a list of commitments to win reinstatement the majority of which it says russia has now fulfilled a key point has been a lack of access to data and samples stored in the moscow lab of 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 the road map of compliance has been the report by richard mclaren that stated russia run

a state sponsored doping scheme the list has called for russia to acknowledge its complicity and russia denies that such a program ever existed but it has admitted that there were widespread there was widespread doping and that there were issues with it anti doping system isn't up for you 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 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 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. but

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 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 in i've inspected 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 hope that 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 of lashed out over the possibility of the solder being reinstated even doubling as a catastrophe earlier i discussed the details with our sports 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 there'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 is what it ally and who has replaced america is old you know our vision of europe and the world is quite close to germany's this book 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 and i would say to me 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 is and 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 barrie 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 because keep trying 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 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 in presidents he is not a good person my corner 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 own 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 come and settle on the name donald for their son and while on the often struggle to choose the right name it's not always up to them to decide.

it's day four of twenty eight thousand russia's longest military drills in decades and the exercises have now switched from land to see is that for as in the country's far east. we're now into the last few days of talks two thousand and eighteen war games which

seem almost everything from last ahmed formations rushing at simulated enemies to release of helicopters and jets dropping that payloads and defense missiles crisscrossing the sky with trails what today's about is a little naval action. every branch of the military's involved air force navy to get them. now that the beaches speed cleared a hypothetical mines here come the big boys that's literally the big marine ship translation from russian and it's about to discord 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 of the united states some again battering north and south carolina police reported. seven casualties but have now revised tally florence was downgraded from a category one hurricane friday afternoon but it still causing widespread devastation bringing with it strong winds and heavy rain coming home six hundred

thousand businesses all without power residents are being warned that there will be quote have to strong flooding over the weekend. 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 who chose to stay behind up become trapped by the rising waters. a u.s. program costing millions to empower women in afghanistan has been branded a complete failure we'll have the details after the break. still dollars dollar bills ten dollars. bill thirty seven billion of those are printed every day there's no backing there's no collateral they're iou against a system that has twenty twenty one twenty two trillion in debt. for them and the

medicare medicaid social security that would give it a under under thirty trillion. already on the table which. that's discrimination and emerge in the way of the ukrainian orthodox church one. that will presuppose that the ukrainian orse of the church should change its leader and that it should be a name to the russian orthodox church in the ukraine it is something like the. on the jordanians the in this job.

or come back the world's largest program for female empowerment has been branded an utter failure in afghanistan according to the head of the us watchdog agency in the country john sako also said that usaid oversold the promote project and lived to american taxpayers when it started in twenty fifteen but then the project was budgeted to more than two hundred million dollars the organization hope to persuade other countries to contribute and to double that funding it was designed to help more women in 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 joined the police the army and entered politics but this is just the beginning there are 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 watchdog even said it's unclear whether the program can be credited for that we spoke about the situation with antiwar news that is adjacent to it he says many could see the problems from the outset. i don't think it's surprising. does this is kind of bell 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 even 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 allusion they're tackling to route one 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 a little about things 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 fact checkers the fake news earned as part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and to exercise tighter 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 policy facebook demotes articles deemed to be fake by its fact checkers significantly reducing those posts distribution but also now start fact checking videos of me was posted on the platform kelly morgan has more. 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 you look at google facebook twitter and other social media giants and i've made it clear that we as a country can not 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 could see information in a link but they could also seen a photo or video and some pieces 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 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 and other guy with a base for you at the top of down yet. the

border. crossing. only to be criminals in place sure the fault is all i can call where you question does threat of fines come also by the number one place you do i mean yeah i'm yasmeen political pressure on

a god you've only known called golden earthworm security dimension knows what upon your kind of business models he was my american corporations doubt of was incomplete please sold on couldn't matilda's it as an m.p. use control scheme i was not on the scene and the solution. lies up in association. as i noted when he saw swindle as it is just simply deleting. an investigative documentary. ghost war on obscene. look. at the list on. my side i said come to my desk with money in.

it so there are other bills to it. i mean in the him a badass musician but then i. look good while trying to hook it up you guys. don't want the modern i don't want to worry about. how to get money out of you know one of the our mr need just. thrown up on the dust went. out of a shuffle stem and we have been dust on the roof. you know but a little warmth and you know what. i'll go and set up a wall and. shot idea each so i don't fall for this idol of the. what politicians do you suppose people. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to.

have to go right to be precise this is what was before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my house. first signal. two thirds of american households do not have five hundred dollars emergency cash. as crazy. value a population doesn't have money and you mean money maintaining such cross carious around the room why why did you change your policies and do something that is good for the lakers. and good for america in the long run.

tiebacks kaiser this is the kaiser report the show that takes you down a rabbit hole abandons you 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 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 but 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 for a while the key phrase there is they run on money market. so in a functioning economy there is no such thing as a run on a money market you have trade you have business you have an economy and it's a zero sum game unless there's something a mess unless you have a bad actor who is issuing an collateralized receipts into the economy unless you have a bad actor that's printing bogus claims that cost bogus trading that causes huge wealth concentrations and corruption of power by being funded by these bogus claims that bad actor would be the federal reserve does bogus claims would be the us dollar the enabler would be obama's friend timothy geitner the enabler would be one of the biggest crux of the century ben bernanke they are worried that if there

is another crisis their paper claims on collateralized unbacked ponzi scheme that is the us dollar in the us government will be forced to make good on these false claims that they print by there's thirty seven billion paper receipts bills.
