. to days about a little. the world's biggest women's empowerment program by u.s. aid in afghanistan tend out to be in the us a failure according to reports by washington's watchdog in the country. live from moscow you're watching international welcome to the program all top story the russian anti doping agency could be reinstated it's been suspended since two thousand and fifteen due to allegations of state cheating it comes off of the components for a view committee of the world agency recommended sports bag the final decision though 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
7:02 pm
led to sufficiently acknowledge the issues identified in russia therefore fulfilling the first of the two outstanding criteria every side as road map to compliance it is important for us to reinstate the next while the executive meeting we wait the decision on september twentieth with hope believe me we did everything that we could and we already to further cooperate with our foreign partners to continue to work in this direction and follow common rules which are equal for all . when i was suspended as was i gave russia a list of commitments to win re-instatement the majority of which says russia has now killed a key point has been the lack of access to data and samples stored in the most scary lab they're all down to date the agency now says the offer of access to an independent experts will meet its criteria however the may just sticking point in the rate of compliance has been the reports by mic richard mclaren stating russia
7:03 pm
around the state sponsored a scheme the list has called for russia to acknowledge is complicity in taping russia denies such a program ever existed but has admitted there was widespread day paying and there were issues with its think system here's a look at the allegations that damning mclaren reports on alleged state sponsored doping in russia has led to many athletes being stripped of their medals and others prevented from taking part in major events including the limpid. 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. also more conclusive proof the document was covered with the phrase how to demonstrate next almost every after each name moreover it was admitted by water but in many cases the evidence provided may not be sufficient to bring successful
7:04 pm
caseys dr richard mclaren's findings were issued in two parts they claim that over a thousand russian athletes were involved in a state sponsored doping program let's meet the report 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 made a decision that was fifty seven days to do my work and 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 but . the sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover doping scheme.
7:05 pm
with. the central allegation of mclaren to court is that positive urine samples were systematically swapped for clean ones on top of that it describes how soaked nescafe granules had it's a clean sample to make the match dirty worms and trick the test of. that information came courtesy of. another question this raises how do you swap the samples of a high security part of which is swiss manufacturing guarantee can 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 and i'll be inspected and it can be done in a completely uncertain 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 have the we will be able to
7:06 pm
see some evidence to 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 the international authorities as well as athletes have lashed out save for the possibility of result it being reinstated it's even calling it a catastrophe my colleague neil harvey discussed the details with our sports correspondent alexei are chefs i suppose anybody's guess at this stage what's your opinion how do you think this is going. playout 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
7:07 pm
a clip of your clip that they posted on twitter basically urging white and not to take 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 move sure this stigma attached of the last three years sticks and in other words you know. 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 made mention of the fact that they've served three years in the exam because some go in violation it's a reality of course every sporting nation on the planet is engaged in some kind of
7:08 pm
doping violation it's just that they've been a big cleverer about it the russia all 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 routes that. the majority of french people no longer see the united stay. as a reliable partner according to a new poll which suggests a deepening crack in transatlantic ties that's despite what many have to the bromance between presidents micron and trump charlotte to picks up the story. it was all wrong dave who 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.
7:09 pm
previously at the g. twenty mack or had to trump making a bee line for him during a family photo or what other would 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 in the united states of america is one of them the prisons today 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 bank on this common history but could the bromance be about to be rekindled trump has already confirmed he's ready
7:10 pm
for paris part with his next visit scheduled for november and while mcewan 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 true. trusted 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 says that 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 but i would say to me is the most important french ally and england the us used to be important but not anymore i am among those who think that we'd rather ally with germany than with the united states france and germany are
7:11 pm
interested in hearing each other to give europe a better future to visit i think the most important ally on a political level is germany today france and the usa are in 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 works it takes decisions that are only reasonable and secure 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 who's met in the presidents who is not a good person might call him isn't firing back at the trump when it comes to winning the french but now he has a charm offensive to deal with his own people and the u.s.

don't expect a show like this every year it's tremendously expensive both in money and deficit but the experience knowledge gained is invaluable. and still to come a u.s. program costing millions ten power women in afghanistan has been branded a complete failure we've got the details after a break. in . the walls already on the table which directs its that's discrimination and a large in the way station parents and exercise tighter controls over what use a sale menu it's. news outlets on the only players 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. according to its new policies facebook to make thought a cool thing to be fake by its facts check is significantly reducing the pace distribution it will say now start checking videos and means posted on the platform . 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 other social media giants and i've made it clear
7:17 pm
that we as a country could not tolerate political service or ship 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 reasons it's important is because when people come to facebook and they're scrolling to their needs 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
7:18 pm
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 post gets suppressed they don't just risk losing their authenticity as

a personalized 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. has blasted a car into space plans to put people on mas and now he says he's sending a mystery passenger around the moon but while the wealth follows every eccentric and tech billionaire musk it seems few were hanging on to his every way when it comes to his spooky predictions for the future as party boy explains. even in moscow a real world tony stark would just start praising nods we have to decide because in case you missed it if you can't use it you may depend on it. the thing with these on is that none of us can be really sure that he's one of us he's building space ships to take people to mas but is that because he's just trying to get home it's odd listening to him and warn you about the dangers of artificial intelligence when
