thirty which he says russia's fulfilled a key point spinner lack of access to data and samples stored in the moscow lab and water now says that 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 the stage of russia around a state sponsored doping scheme liskov russia to acknowledge its complicity in doping osa denies such a program ever existed but it has admitted that there was widespread doping and that there were issues with its 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 elim pics 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 rich mclaren the i.o.c.
5:01 pm
ostrom more conclusive proof the document was covered with the phrase how to demonstrate that almost every athlete's name moreover 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 in two. 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 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
5:02 pm
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 but salim the sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover doping scheme. with. the central allegation of mclaren's record is that positive year in samples were systematically swapped for clean ones on top of that it describes how so. cafe granny was added to clean sample to make the match dirty work and trick the trash. that information came courtesy of. another question this raises how do you swap the samples of a high security posture which is switched manufacturing guarantee 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 to have seen it i've seen it done in i've
5:03 pm
been inspected and it can be done to be reinserted we don't know how the russians didn't know that 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 hope that we will be able to see some evidence of 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 of lashed out over the possibility of the solder being reinstated even calling it a catastrophe i discussed the details with sports correspondent alexia vicious. 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 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
5:04 pm
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 a statement saying even letters to wider and even a clip a video clip that they posted on twitter basically urging what not to take this u. turn there is a one of those taking 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 eat on the russian brain. do not fail all athletes across the world protect clean sport i think they want to make sure that this stigma overtaxed of the last three years and in other words you know even though 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 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 that russia has 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 according to a new poll which suggests a deepening crack in transatlantic ties that's the spot what many have dubbed the bromance between presidents my couldn't trump charlotte dubin ski 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 no use eased up the trunk making a beeline 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 because if we are found sure 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.
5:07 pm
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 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 us 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 right. i would say timoney is the most important french ally and england the us used to be
5:08 pm
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 usa 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 trump says only worse it takes decisions that are only reasonable and scare me a little bit he tracks everything which is not good he creates tension is 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
5:09 pm
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 only settle on the name donald for their son and while many often struggle to choose the right name it's not always up to them to decide.

5:15 pm
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 so resulted in fifty five finding a job the watch to leave and said it's unclear whether the program could be credited with that we talked about this with antiwar news that is a jason ditz he says many could see problems from the start i don't think it's surprising. does this is kind of bad standard usaid behavior in afghanistan and other countries to get these ideas there something they would be done that would help in this case empowering women they don't really have a great idea how they could even do that there's over ambition there's a tendency to over promise the rest so you ministration and there's also a tendency to simply nax care if things don't you know. there's temporarily the

illusion that they're tackling a route if you read special inspector general reports on a regular basis you see that this happens all the time that these programs are almost only it's too expensive to deliver a little bit about things and then there's not much accountability here and. facebook's under fire after the left wing think progress web site found itself censored by conservative fact checkers the fake news hunt is part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election indifference 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 snoop policies facebook demotes on to calls deemed to be fake. but significantly reduces the post's distribution it will also now stop five checking videos
5:17 pm
a means on the platform killable pintos details. 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 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
5:18 pm
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 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 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 are 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. art see new york . is left to the car and to space plans to put people on masa now says he sending a mystery passenger around the moon but all the world follows every eccentric and

5:21 pm
must return to his point in the rescue of the leader twice he didn't get much more human than perhaps musk is most useful as a barometer for human stupidity. caused he had some fifty dire warnings about the dystopian nightmare we are walking into with our eyes glazed for example that google is basically just to try and say i'm going to slow down by the entire human race robots will soon move so fast the easy able to see them using straight light and airy machines assume that of a god to us as insignificant and relevant monkey i love that headline that everyone came out with they don't last smoked weed legally. you could see all that coming you'd be smoking something stronger than that in back so let's stop and test let it be because whilst i'm dubious when the law ignoring the fact that a man who is going to say ship in the sea is probably less pressing on a long time and a bunch of brainiac bankers are actually hedging against him and making electric
