shift from lands to see. today's about a little black church. usa its empowerment program for women in afghanistan is labeled a total failure by washington's watchdog in the country. hello and welcome to r.t. international good to have you with us this hour. the russian anti doping agency could be reinstated almost three years after it was suspended if the allegations of state sponsored saying it comes off of the components for a view committee of the world anti-doping agency recommended it sports 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 sport to water and was satisfied that this led to sufficiently acknowledge the issues identified in russia therefore

fulfilling the first of the two outstanding criteria are solid as road map to comply and it is important for us to reinstate the next world executive meeting we the decision on september twentieth with hope believe me we did everything that we could and we all ready to further cooperate with our foreign partners to continue to work in this direction and follow common which is equal for all. whether it was suspended as water gave russia a list of commitments to win reinstatement the majority of which says russia has now failed a key point has been the lack of access to data and sample stored in the mosque a lab the world anti-doping agency now says the offer of access to an independent expert would meet its criteria however the may just sticking point in the road map of compliance has been the report by richard mclaren stating russia run a state sponsored doping scheme the list has called for russia to acknowledge its

complicity in doping russia deny such a program ever existed but has admitted there was widespread taping and 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 medals 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. ostrom more conclusive proof the document was covered with the phrase how to demonstrate next almost every athlete's name moreover it 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 i'd made a decision that with 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 but. the sports minister at the time of the alleged undercover doping scheme. with.

the central allegation of mclaren to court 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 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 the high security parts which is switched manufacturing 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 you not have seen it i've seen it done and i'll be inspected and it can be done and 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 and i'm president it's. the 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 the international authorities as well as athletes have lashed out over the possibility of rissoles it being reinstated even calling it a catastrophe neil harvey discussed the details with r.t. sports correspondent and xers have. 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 there's been a lot of opposition to the russian reinstatement within water. particular 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 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 water and even

a clip a video clip that they posted on twitter basically urging water not to take this u. turn there is a water vote taking place on the twenty fifth which is critical to the future of clean sport get behind hash tag no u.-turn order thank you do not use on the russian. do not fail all athletes across the world protect bald canadian the olympic champion becky scots one of the six members of waters compliance review committee reportedly resigned today reports suggest she quits over result as possible reinstatement a move that former sports lecturer at this cashmore believes we can expect to see next week. i think they want to make sure that this stigma attached of the last three years sticks and in other words you know even the russian to 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 you know example because some go in violation 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 clever about it the russia or the russians simply been singled out as a kind of scapegoat which would be markets frankly but i don't moment we're not back 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 to. the majority of french people there on the scene of the united states as a reliable partner according to a new poll which suggests a deepening crack in transatlantic ties that's despite what many have tabs the bromance between presidents micron and trump china dubinsky picks up the story. it

was a wrong dave room in the city of love that cemented a new brooding relationship to world leaders plenty of hugs and the odd whisper it was all in that first handshake was. cute. previously at the g twenty matt cohen had cozied up to trump making the lying to him during a family photo or what other world going to look at all. in astonishment but since those are first in. seams the relationship has somewhat cooled as it. is for who have come to our aid the united states of america is one of them the

presence today of the american president by my son is a sign of a friendship which has stood the test of time. the. post-war multilateralism seems to. own 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 merkel still seems open to a special relationship with the u.s. and its president it's clear the french public i 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 u.s. a country that for so long as being a trusted ally and who has replaced america is all you know our vision of europe and the world is quite close to germany's bespoken forces i don't have confidence

in the us i 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 u.s. used to be important but not anymore 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 us a divergence. from eric and 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 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 he's people or neighbors. i'm not in favor of him we

need to recognize that his politics protect the american economy he's very disrespectful toward everyone who's met him presidents who is not a good person might call him 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. on this leader it's unlikely many new parents would currently settle on the name donald's for their son while many often struggle to choose the right name it's not always up to them to decide.

it's day four of vos talk twenty eighteen russia's largest military drills in decades and the exercises have now switched from lands to see more aghast at this path for us in the country's far east. we're now into the last few days of the vostok two thousand and eighteen war games

and we've seen almost everything from last album formations rushing at simulated enemies to release of helicopters and jets dropping that payload and defense missiles crisscrossing the sky with trails what today's about is a little naval action at. every branch of the military's involved air force the navy to get them. now that the beaches speed could be a hypothetical mine here come the big boys that's literally ninety million dollars the tiles have seventy five thousand women saying resulted in fifty five of them finding a job and the watch talk even said that some credit whether the program can even be

credited with that we spoke about the situation with antiwar news that the tet jason day it's he says many could see problems from the outset i don't think it's surprising. this this is kind of bad usaid behavior in afghanistan and in other countries they get these ideas that something would be done that would help afghanistan like 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 to the rest of 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 the problem if you read special inspector general reports on a regular basis you see that. this happens all the time or i'm sorry almost only it's too expensive to deliver a little bit about things and then there's not much accountability to.

facebook's on the far off to the left wing think progress website found itself censored by conservative fact check is the fake news hunt is part of facebook's publicly stated plan to prevent election interference and exercise tighter control over what used to see on the news feeds. news outlets on the only plays 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 saw schools deemed to be fake biased facts check is significantly reducing the post distribution it will also now start checking videos and memes posted on the platform kind of more 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 if you look at google facebook twitter i know they're social media giants and i've made it clear that we as a country could not tolerate a political show sure ship blacklisting ad really sure should result but it didn't take too long for the left to start crying foul with roughly the same grievances as the right with a 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 and so on. porton is because when people come to facebook and they're scrolling to their needs they could see false information in a link but they could also seen a photo or video and some cases photos or videos might be more believable so

perhaps this crackdown on photographs is based on allegations that somehow russia meddled in the twenty sixteen 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 lie. 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 shilling 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 the users get to represent themselves they also risk becoming another dead dry news source losing their sense of humor. art see new york. u.s. officials say an eleven people have been kelvin's tropical storm florence made landfall on the east coast and began tearing through north and south carolina florence was downgraded from a category one hurricane after it struck comprise a. but authorities are warning it will bring severe flooding in the coming days almost eight hundred thousand properties across the carolinas the said to be without power at the moment rescue is
