sports editor dan ronan tweeted out what he claimed was a letter from waters compliance review committee saying recitals prolonged suspension was already a done deal but let's take a look at the whole picture just hours after ron's report water published an official statement rubbishing these notions today the world anti-doping agency this independent compliance review committee to deliberate a recommendation for the reins teeth ment of the russian antidoping agency when the executive committee meets next on the trenches of september what are also admitted it does not reveal information like that too often but it did so this time to put any speculation to bad it also openly said that the thirty one conditions it had put forward to restart it two years ago for reinstatement have been met conditions which included allowing u.k. anti-doping experts into russian labs to provide training replacing the personnel monthly orders by wada among others with the two most contentious ones knowledge of

the findings of the mclaren report and granting unconditional access to your in samples in russian laboratories which have been on. the federal investigation though those remained in limbo up until last week rolling forward a bit and the b.b. has turned into arguably the most burgeoning political issue in the united states at this time as the nomination process continues for brett kavanaugh we're seeing a circus of anger and accusations. brick kavanaugh mr chairman. mr chairman. we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman a very warm welcome not the god given to the needy. or here. we cannot be recognized i move to adjourn. and i move. so here's why the
1:05 am
issue is so davis the u.s. supreme court has the final legal say on crucial issues and justices are appointed for life now it's not a surprise that both sides one of them tipped the balance in their favor the gloves come off the accusations are now flying first a woman who is sitting behind kavanagh was accused of giving secret fascist hand signals it turns out she is the descendant of holocaust survivors then some misattributed quotes about birth control started flying around the internet hillary clinton herself was spreading this false information huge affair to birth control pills as abortion inducing drunks the set of. to me an issue for you too i want to be sure will clear this didn't happen you were spanked chicks to prove this false now numerous fact checkers have found this to be false but then cavanagh's habit of buying baseball tickets became breaking news investigative reporters.
1:06 am
scoured his financial disclosure. and learned that he had his friends buy a ticket to a baseball game so as you can see there's still plenty of showing us to go around but then things got serious accusations of attempted rape which is career ending stuff in the age of me two came up christine blasi forward accuses brett kavanaugh the tempting to rape her back in the one nine hundred eighty s. when they were both teenagers at a party now she wants an f.b.i. investigation if the senators who have come forward and said they want to treat the seriously mean that then they'll they'll have an investigation of these allegations so that we all go into this more informed so twenty four women who went to high school with brett kavanaugh signed a letter saying that they support the accuser then sixty five women signed another letter saying that they defend brett kavanaugh his character now those who support the democrats generally believe the accuser those is support the republicans think
1:07 am
she is lying and i've been calling her names not surprisingly the media is now taking sides this was intended. and i've believe perfessor ford cabinet has lied multiple times she's not sure when it happened where it happened who else was president she never reported it to anybody this is nothing if they get away with this there is then you have c.n.n. running the country because this allegation could be made against anyone at any time now the us department of justice says that it's not a federal case but it seems like proving guilt or innocence isn't exactly the issue here i think the nomination should be withdrawn the bar here is not. whether you have not criminally assaulted someone it's credibility trust integrity so who is brett kavanaugh now to some he's a well respected adjudicator who happens to have some republican ties to others he's a sexual predator now supreme court justice nominations often turn into political
1:08 am
confrontations but rarely do they expose such a deeply divided america. art see new york. one of the most i'd spoken opponents to brett kavanaugh is nomination has been former presidential candidates hillary clinton however it wasn't long before many points of i thought her husband former president bill clinton also faced allegations of sexual misconduct which didn't stop him from reaching america's highest office her husband when he was president faced allegations that were not the same as this certainly but had connections to these kinds of allegations from years ago have we learned anything over the years about due process not just for the accusers but also for the accused well i think that you have to take each of these situations you know sort of on their own merits. and one of bill clinton's alleged victims reacted by asking the f.b.i. to investigate her rape accusations as well. shows you the difference in the double
1:09 am
standard that existed back then and still does today i think it's i think this is this donna. that they can do this to mr cavanaugh it is the absolute definition of hypocritical and that's what's really disheartening especially for the american public to see these democratic leaders that have been elected being absolutely hypocritical and two faced really not only when it comes to the clinton trials where all of this wasn't enough what we heard it wasn't enough you can't come against him whereas a woman makes one allegation is refusing to testify there's no other information nobody really has any information there's no evidence but the word of this woman that's not to say that sexual assault allegations are important but the timing is very suspicious of course so we've now shown that the congress the united states of america doesn't care about facts or evidence as mrs it says about political differences. a group of activists painted drug
1:10 am
dealers only road traffic signs in east london now as part of a campaign to highlight the levels of drug crime there it was launched by the colombia road cartel as they were known the auction group spray painted drug dealers only parking space installed kruk pick up point and needle free zones however the signs were quickly removed by council workers activists can hines believes residents simply go straight in the police. the police are not tackling the problem of drug dealing in their location in their part of of london in their community so they feel that they have to take the law into their own hands it's the same as the rest of london but this one proviso because. assured it is an affluent area the police tend to not be heavy handed around
1:11 am
drug dealing in the police seem to not tread much more cautiously then if they are in other parts of london well the murder of tower hamlets where the action took place agreed with the activists and call for more police officers to be on the streets he also stressed that the local authorities had done everything in their power to deal with the issue can hines again ses the government needs to take a different approach it's quite clear that the police and the government has lost the war on crime because what they have put the look him as a crime when it's quite clear is shit be treated as a public health issue we need to identify like places like short it where to go or hide put a pen through for drug dealers to be done openly and we need to stay in drug

1:14 am
. i think we can agree that the decision to intervene in libya was perhaps too quickly taken but we also know that the libya crisis today as we see it at least as i see it is a multifaceted crisis because it's a political crisis it's a security crisis and it's an economic crisis so i think the main problem of the post twenty eleven transition was to put complete emphasis on the political process and not sufficient thought and strategy into the military. and completely forget the economic dimension of the crisis. join me every day on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of

a personal agreement between two governments the last one we seek a treaty the iran nuclear deal was an agreement made by iran with with the president at the time it was not a treaty they did not have the votes in the u.s. senate and so they found the votes in the u.n. security council and that's insufficient in our system of government if you want to have something enduring and sustainable just going through at the around nuclear deal is aimed to ensure that iran's quote nuclear program will be exclusively peaceful in exchange some sanctions against iran will be lifted the hard one iran nuclear deal was signed in twenty fifteen by five permanent members of the u.n. security council the e.u. and germany after nine years of talks under way to run agreed not to develop or buy any nuclear weapons to shut down its centrifuges and to export its nuclear materials it was also a large international watchdogs to monitor the situation and when the agreement was
