russia is anti doping agency is said to hear it as the international body in charge of stealth drugs in sport to focus on moscow's reinstate. at this hour the confirmation hearing for president from supreme court stagnate in great accusations but. proving to be one of america's most divisive nominees ever. drug dealers are only on crack they are among the signs appearing on east london

streets on the street and residents draw attention to the levels of drug dealing in the british council. live from moscow every hour of the day this is your r.t. international my name's you know neil welcome to the program our top story the fate of russian sports drugs body will be decided a little later on thursday the world. is jus to vote on whether to lift the suspension over a scandal in twenty fifteen the international olympic committee athletes commission . re admission one as president is also for the move but there have been rifts within the anti doping governing body the organizations vice president. agencies from various countries are against it they accuse

one of moving the goal posts by easing some of the conditions placed on russia the head of america's agency went as far as to suggest sucking at the waba chief r.t. sport correspondent alexy ownership ski picks up the story. for the last three years russian sport has been firmly sidelined as accusations mounted over state sponsored doping.

the media has been and meltdown the b.b.c. sports editor dan ronan tweeted out what he claimed was a letter from waters compliance review committee saying reciters prolonged suspension was already a done deal let's take a look at the whole picture just hours after ron's report what a published and official statement rubbishing these notions the world anti-doping agency this independent compliance review committee to deliberate a recommendation for the rains to eat meant of the russian antidoping agency water also admitted it does not reveal information like that too often but it did so this time to put any speculation to bed 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 russia laboratories which have been under federal investigation though those remained in limbo up until last week rolling forward a bit and the b.b.c. then publishes a letter from the russian sports minister to wada where he. agreed to all the demands and hoped that the world body would reinstate we're sada so if that's the case and russia has ticked off all the criteria why is everyone so mad i want to make sure that this attached of the last three years sticks even russia will be allowed back into sport they want to make sure that every time any commentator anywhere in the world mentions a russian athlete they say that they scream years in exile because some go in violations and they want to emphasize that point to advertise to the rest of the world how tough what it is and how difficult it can be to get round kind of

the doping regulations 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 all that russia's simply been say singled out as a kind of scapegoat and people are quitting their jobs because of it namely becky scott are retired olympic champion and cross-country skiing who stepped down from the review panel after its recommendation to wada the possibility of russia coming in from the cold is dividing the world anti-doping agency its vice president says she will vote against their reinstatement and she is being backed by australia canada the united kingdom the usa and new zealand who are all urging the agency's president to reconsider if you choose to reinstate trash or you defy the very wish of the athletes committees an organization's around the world have very clearly stated that they will not accept reinstatement now the sporting community around

the world has spoken and the message is consistent and clear reason it cannot be declared compliant until all outstanding conditions set out in the roadmap have been satisfied we believe that any compromises to the road map will tarnish what is reputation and bring global sport into the. repute essential to restart his revival is not set in stone and it could mean thousands of clean athletes in russia will be hitting the first hurdle when it comes to entering competitions all over again with their respective federations hands tied until it was tied to receive its normal operations so will thursday's decision by wada be influenced by sport politics or common sense. turning our attention stateside now with a senate confirmation hearing for donald trump supreme court nominee is mired in sexual assault allegations brett kavanaugh denies the charges while the president has been uncharacteristically kerr full when speaking about the case trump ever

insist that the alleged victim should testify before the senate before any judgment is made. when i first decided to run everybody said the single most important thing you do is a supreme court judge again we've all heard that be done about a president i would say this i think he's an extraordinary man i think he's a man of great intellect as i've been telling you if you showed that would be wonderful if she doesn't show up. that would be on board she came up and brings us more no and donald trump's contentious pick for the lifetime political position. the hearings surrounding the appointment of a new supreme court justice by the president 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. rick

kavanagh mr chairman. mr chairman. we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman a very warm welcome not they are given they're going on to the. floor here. and we cannot be recognized i move to adjourn. them and i move. oh here's why the issue is so diverse to the u.s. supreme court has the final legal say on crucial issues and justices are appointed for life no wonder both sides want to put the balance in their favor so 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 mis attributed quotes about birth control started flying around the internet hillary

clinton herself was spreading this false information he referred to birth control pills as abortion inducing drugs the set of a lot of harm bells for me an issue for you too i want to be sure will clear this didn't happen you were spanked chix to prove this false then cavanagh's habit of buying baseball tickets became breaking news investigative reporters scoured his financial disclosure. and learned that he and 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 while 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 she is lying and have been calling her names not surprisingly the media is now taking sides this was intended. and i believe offensive forward judge cabinet has lied multiple times she's not sure when it happened where it happened who else was present 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 u.s. 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 confrontations but rarely do they expose. deeply divided america. artsy new york one of the most outspoken opponents to brett kavanaugh his nomination has been former presidential candidate hillary clinton however it wasn't long before many point about thought her husband former president bill clinton 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 old 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 by accusations as well. the difference in the double standard that existed back then and still does today i think it's i think this is this donna xing but 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 does about political differences. the much talked to promote program was supposed to be the biggest women's support initiative in afghanistan but according to a report by a washington watchdog it's been an utter failure hundreds of millions of dollars of u.s. taxpayer money was spent the goals were huge but in reality only a few dozen women were helped. i'm. since two thousand and

one the door has been reopened for afghan women they joined the police the army and entered politics and together we can help women and girls across afghanistan develop their talents raise their voices and strengthen their communities and their country and. then i didn't know if this money was spent properly there would have been changes in women's lives but we don't know how they spend it or who they gave it some money for they haven't done so much for afghan women there is an exhibit held in india a man is representing afghan women this program in afghanistan is for women and we still get replaced by man why do we have the capacity. for. the person we requested usa to support us by providing a smush scenery incompetently going to modernize they had to have section their

response was negative they said they were huge to train is after news experience i don't need the training i need the machinery the huddles i thought until i filled in forms last year and again six months ago they told us that they would let us know but there was no response even when we called them they never called back hundreds of thousands of women across afghanistan ready to put in work. for a drug dealer's only parking space under a truck pickup point. frustrated residents in the british capital have taken the law into their own homes in a campaign to highlight drug chinese family over check in and this is some of the footage this is a key reason. this is. just

. midnight for police to toss defenseless tourists agree this place is too much. the chinese foreign ministry has made complaints to the swedish urgent. case we see because. we only know that we have done everything we could do for these guests but at the same time kind of except that there are staff are exposed to threats and the other

guests will suffer from a threatening situation. migration relations with our of states internal security and of course breaks that those topics are all being hammered out an informal e.u. summit underway in austria at the moment keeping track of it all for europe correspondent peter all of her good morning to you peter i see a lot of meetings ahead and i suggest even more being discussed on the sidelines tell us more. well the e.u. leaders are meeting in a site that was used in the film the sound of music but when it comes to migration of the not singing from the same song sheet we've seen an announcement made that ten thousand extra agents will be added to frontex now frontex is the external border force that's

a big increase it's only six hundred agents currently at the moment they are going to be in place by twenty twenty however not all of the e.u. leaders are happy victor all bond chief among them the hungarian prime minister has described this as a pro immigration plan he says that this is essentially what angle a miracle the german chancellor wants to see he's referred to these frontex agents mercenaries being sent to hungary and he said well hungary knows best how to look after hungary's borders. it's worth noting that at this meeting there was a scene just before it's got underway on thursday where the belgian prime minister sharon's michelle was sat next to viktor orbán the belgian prime minister doing his best desperately trying to talk to somebody else to avoid having to strike up a conversation with the home garion prime minister but there are some friends of mr orbán in that room namely the leaders of poland and bulgaria they're backing him

over who should be looking after the external borders but donald tusk the european council president he has the task of trying to bring everyone together and he's called for unity and some kind of uniform solution on migration to try to be hunted out. the call on the to stop the migration blame going. despite their aggressive rhetoric thinks are moving in the right. monster because you have been focused on xterm of all of their control. well briggs that is also firmly on the agenda and there's going to be no real steps forward taken but certainly talks about how to take those steps we won't expect any real forward movement until october perhaps even right into november but to reason may had a chance to put out her position when it comes to what to do about the british border on the island of ireland she did that on wednesday evening apparently very late

into the night when it comes to support for to resume a on break that we are hearing that at least two of the leaders the leader of the leader of malta and the czech leader also putting forward an idea that britain should have a second referendum sometimes referred to as a people's vote on breaks it but what to reason may has said as she put out her stall to the to the e.u. leaders was that they need to be able to move their position where they're negotiating from just as britain has been willing to move it i believe that i have put forward serious and workable proposals we will of course not agree on every detail but i hope that you will respond in kind if we're going to chief a successful conclusion than just of the u.k. has evolved its position the you will need to evolve its position too

so that's where we are everybody is talking at the moment in sulzberger but we still have no deal on that and the e.u. leaders still divided when it comes to migration if you want to hear more about what matt hung gary in position is and what the position of viktor or bonds government is when it comes to migration and other issues you can listen to an interview with the hungarian foreign minister with sophie shevardnadze and her show sophie and co that will be aired on friday keeping us right up to date on the salzburg summit spitter all of our europe correspondent. all right when it comes to libya the one thing that everyone agrees on is doubt the situation there is a mess delving deeper into the north african state next it's examined and worlds apart. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution here to correct the demonstrations going

from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still loyal i mean you know i lived with video and put him in the new bill is that i knew pulling me to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. you know world a big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for

the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to cross the sea like them before three of them. people. are still .

welcome to worlds apart among the recent regime change experiments stands out as no one's liability in western powers have never publicly accepted breaking it let alone owning the mast and as some of them now try to mediate among the various militia groups running what's left of the country what should guide the process well to discuss that i'm now joined by cloud xeni a senior analyst at the international crisis group thank you very much for coming over it's good to have you with us in the studio it's a pleasure to be with you now first of all let me ask you what brings you to moscow because. the international crisis group is viewed in this capital as a western based institution i know you stress your nonprofit non-governmental

status but i think there are a lot of people who see it as an organization that was created to facilitate western policies in conflict zones policies are often at odds with how moscow perceives the events so what is the purpose of your being in this country i mean first of all crisis group very firmly in the dialogue and with all parties of the conflict and in this sense if russia is a part of any given conflict then it is very important for us to hear out to russia . officials but what brings me here today is a workshop on three crisis countries of the middle east syria libya and yemen and it's an opportunity to exchange thoughts views between some foreign analyst and some russian think tankers and policy makers so it's really an opportunity to bring that dialogue one step further the reason i say that your organization is perceived as a western based institution was obviously because it was founded by

a former american diplomat and the former british official i think they came up with on their flight to separate ever so that those kinds of details would definitely influence how the russians pursued this organization have you ever encountered any let's say suspicion of you being a representative of the western policy community. well no i mean first of all we have to distinguish between the work of an analyst. and an organization as a whole as in a list on the field we have complete autonomy of judgment and of analysis so there's never any attempt to influence the analysis that we produce it's really a bottom up approach where we report from the field and therefore come up with what we think of policy lines in a given conflict and then boy i mean our board but we are not only analysts there's

also senior management and there's a board and there are also some russian intellectuals and former policy makers in order so i think we try to be represented now as you mentioned you've been following the libyan conflict for quite some time how would you describe its trajectory seventy years after the violent change of power in there i mean there's no doubt that in the seven years that have passed since the.
