none for i don't know of them are our. own. and one of the five pm moscow time the world anti-doping agency votes to reinstate russia's own anti drugs body decision signals a fresh start for russian athletics after three years in the cold. coming up unconfirmed leaked memo circulating the british press reveals plans from the prime minister's own party to ouster who's in the running to fill. a french court just right wing leader depend on the go

a psychiatric examination after she published photos of i still think to. my good evening my name is kevin zero in this is art international happy day is going good if you tuned in around the world first than to the news that russia's anti doping agency has been reinstated so if the body was suspended back in twenty fifteen over an alleged state sponsored doping scandal. across this our sports correspondent the decision came up an hour ago it's being met with a fair bit of derision and controversy from some around the world but and water has ignored the pressure brought back into the fold after three long years as far as russian athletics are concerned tell us about this meeting in the seychelles that wraps up what two hours ago they voted on it what was the. we know about who

voted for it who voted against and what the feeling was well first of all it's not on the controversy which surrounds this decision it's a lot of rage if you go online and just check what the mentions to the tweet by water say people are outraged that this happened because you know if you actually expected that the decision would go reciters way even last week when the compliance of you committee openly said that it recommended to the executive board to reinstate rosado welcome back into the you know world anti-doping family. a lot of people still were very skeptical that this would happen that water would actually take the step now it indeed has we have information that twelve people who voted for this decision nine were for the decision one abstained and two were against i would suspect that one of those against was the vice-president of water who openly said and she said it many times that she would vote against the reinstatement and indeed the outrage and opposition to this move by water has been very strong and

severe especially in the last couple of days the closer we got to the meeting thirteen agencies anti-doping agencies in the world which include the u.k. agency the u.s. new zealand australia canada poland they were all. white executive board not to take the step again some members of water were saying that one member russian athletes though they're not the woods yet are they what about the people first of all let's separate this people that were totally clean and people that were. taken drugs futures now again the proven dorpers nothing changes in their respect they have been banned and they will stay banned its all about the clean athletes obviously there's something that people have to understand the decision by water to reinstate it's not a victory for russian sport of any sorts it's a chance it's a chance for the organization to be able to work to check the doping you know potential doping in russian sports and some things happen almost all the time i mean all countries dope and russia is not. but restarted can only work if it's

reinstated and part of the deal that say with the international association of athletics federations to reinstate the russian athletes in the future was still have working properly so if it is allowed to work properly this may pave the way for other athletes for athletes in russia to be but welcome back into sports but obviously they can only be welcomed back into the sport if they are clean but in order for them to be clean you need a dopy anti-doping agency to be checking that so the outrage about reinstating resign. honestly to me doesn't make any sense how can you vouch for clean sport if you are shouting against the agency which is supposed to provide a clean sport exactly or alexey thanks for that. i think we've got to go slow that moment do we have an i wasn't told we weren't so let's go on and talk about another story now shall we britain's prime minister to resign may try is to lay down some bricks at lorton informal eaves of wood in austria the british press is pouring over an explosive leaked memo unconfirmed dossier originally published by the telegraph newspaper not only reveals plans in may's own party but also it's

possible successors probably because on it. the big question is who comes next that appears to be the question the conservative party is mulling over privately and rather actively on whatsapp conversations that seems to be where all the political party takes place nowadays and the list has been leaked to the press and it goes through all the potential candidates to succeed to reason may and their chances i believe we can go through some of the candidates now let's take a look at the first ones boris johnson. book is fruit after a jury could bruce morgue but the front runner never wins that's really interesting because as you heard boris johnson is the bookmakers favorite but he's controversial within the party but he's got sort of this strange leeson ceaseless. heal. as you saw there saying the favorite never wins so let's take

a look at the next person on the list job that was trying to recover from referendum position and well the current home secretary now of course is sajid javid does the post that to reason may have for six years before she became prime minister so it is seen as a doorway to the premiership he's young he's made some welcome changes in the home office he's kind of emerged as a real possibility to succeed although he has one thing going against him and that is that he is a lever that someone who voted to remain but is now committed to leaving which doesn't sometimes doesn't convince the hardcore leavers so let's go to the next politician that is the current foreign secretary take a look at what the list said about him jeremy hunt course near the front of the park coming up on the roof so that's the current foreign secretary but he was

formally the health secretary and he's seen as a bit of a political survivor despite the fact that he presides. did over the junior doctors scandal here so he's not likely to have many fans amongst the medical profession but as the list goes on to point out he is a real dark horse in this potential race to succeed to reason may and then last but not least we have the current defense secretary take a look at what the list says about him. in full campaign mode but very reliant on controlling her own departure point so yet governed williamson is very much treasonous favorite but the likelihood of her having a say in who succeed her succeeds isn't seen as a very big to me i have to say this all reads a bit like a burn book from the movie mean girls but the list is important because it appears to confirm that regardless of the mechanics of it and how it happens britain is

leaving the e.u. in march twenty nineteen added that it appears that once this quite frankly task is over once the poison chalice of bragg's it can at least be pushed a little bit to the side the party is going to want a fresh face to take it forward now downing street in the conservative party never normally comment on leaks we've approached them about it we've asked them about it downing street have said asked the conservative party the conservative party have said speak to downing street about it so it doesn't look like there's much desire to talk about it and i think the list pretty much speaks for itself. or the top story in the news in the last hour or two words your world is doping agency reinstalling reinstating will rule the russian anti-doping agency back into the fold let's go to sports lawyers look at this no bologna's on the law and the so we could come true but globally. so all but two of the initial criteria for

reinstatement and water seems happy with up for now but the people who criticize. that a way of broad indeed but something seems to give man the sings and they're going with it from a legal standpoint those opposing this decision have any grounds to appeal to this decision to maybe get it overturned at this stage is that a possibility or not know either washing dishes now is a very important step that was reached and the reinstatement of result of the and this is a turning point in the in this whole story and i see in. the russian blitz to get back to. congo championships. to celebrate. ok well what international reaction do you expect a day to celebrate lot of people are saying oh this is being fired a lot of people abroad are saying no this is being fired there was a lot of pressure to keep russia banned even what is vice president not at all

happy about this so you know i suppose maybe what does look to that after three long years and gone hey it's time to draw the line here hopefully lessons have been learned if they needed learning and it's time for a fresh start to move forward is that why you say it's good news. yes i think it's a lot of restructuring in result that has been maimed and all the points that. request that were done so for that were done and i think this is what makes this decision very important it shows that there is a willingness to change things and i think this is what comes. one of the two points that were outstanding here what is it it may withdraw risottos reinstatement if it doesn't provide access to lab data of the year i kept in that lab and the and the results that came through it has not already largely been done though by the u.k. experts because it's been the u.k.

anti doping authority for the last two years that have been taking over they've been here in moscow doing the work of resign while it suspended yes. english persons have done these these investigations and now they can be done by those other again and this is very important the it was a condition for different. associations. being reinstated before accepting them there at the rationalists again and this is why it's so important and we don't really know what's going on behind the scenes here but we do know we think the end of the russia's limpid committee says it was not going to be a problem to provide allowed access to think all this was agreed before today's vote and it played maybe the big role in the final reinstatement or not. no the russians have to give these axes to these doctors and i think that is the reason

why. it will go on and we will remain as he is now the result of we may be stated and that is the talking point now similarly sports lawyer thanks for your time thanks to lie with us in our international today. go to states now the senate confirmation hearing for donald trump supreme court nominees been perspire owned amid sexual assault allegations brett kavanaugh denies the accusations while the president's men and courage lissac lee careful about speaking about the case though insists that the alleged victim should testify before the senate had any judgment being made. when i first decided to run everybody said the single most important thing you do is the supreme court just forget we've all heard that be done about right. i would say this i think he's an extraordinary man i think he's a man of great intellect there's i've been telling you if she shows up that would

be wonderful if she doesn't show up. that would be our forty caliber opens go up more in terms 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 circuit accusations. rick kavanagh mr chairman. mr chairman. we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman a very warm well if they're not they are given they're going on in the mood for here. 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 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 such a fool 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 then cavanagh's habit of buying baseball tickets became breaking news investigative reporters 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 of attempting 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 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 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 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 is 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 such a deeply divided america. artsy new york. well one of most outspoken opponents to bring his nomination is former presidential candidate hillary clinton wasn't long till many pointed the husband former president bill clinton also faced allegations of sexual misconduct which didn't stop him from reaching america's 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 merit. one of bill clinton's alleged victims reacted by asking the f.b.i. to investigate her. 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 don assuring 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's as about political differences. one of france's top politicians marie le pen has been ordered to consult a psychiatrist will tell you when we come back. what

politicians do you suppose to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. to go right to the press this is like about three of the more people. interested in the waters and. they said. we want a strong european union based on strong member states and we want a europe which sticks to its christian heritage so we're number one we don't want europe to get rid of the christian heritage and we want the member states to stay as a member states we don't want you know give up our nationality you don't want to give

up our culture we don't blow you up for every caesar and so on and before. i get a french court sort of far right leader marine depend on to go a psychiatric evaluation the blog ation to submit test results is linked to photos posted on twitter which showed victims of islamic state. briefed me on this just last. well those photos were published towards the end of two thousand and fifteen just weeks off to the paris attacks in the november of that year and it came out of a criticism from a t.v. journalist who tried to say that le pen's policy which was then called the national

front was essentially the same thing as the terror group isis so no. fronts she tweeted pictures along with a statement saying this is. trying to distance her party away from that group well since her immunity as an m.e.p. was lifted earlier this year she is now facing those charges of circulating violent messages that could incite terrorism or seriously harm human dignity and as a result of that and this ongoing investigation the court has ordered her to have psychiatric assessment to see if she can understand remarks and respond to questions she's firas as are many people on twitter. we learned that justice is ordering a psychiatric examination of marine le pen for tweets targeting isis and after that we're giving lessons on democracy to poland and hungary subject political rivals to psychiatric treatment that's more like brushing your attorney orders

a psychologist for marine le pen i have no words solidarity with her and the french who love freedom judge orders a psychiatric assessment of marine le pen i thought it was fake it's incredible psychiatric zation of political opponents is an old communist practiced practiced in the u.s.s.r. until one thousand nine hundred seventy s. well during the pain is said that she will refuse point blank to go along to that court mandated psychiatric assessment and she's also suggested that they could be some political motivations for that so called that assessment because let's not forget we are leading up to the european parliament in twenty nineteen with parties like the national rally are hoping to make big gains but of course if she is found guilty of all of that offense which is circulating violent messages that incite terrorism or seriously harming human dignity then she could face three years in jail up to three years in jail and

a fine of seventy five thousand euros this is deemed as a potentially very serious offense here in france. the much touted promote program was supposed to be the biggest women support initiative in afghanistan but according to a report by washington watchdog it's been a not a failure hundreds of millions of dollars of u.s. taxpayer money was spent the goals we hugely in reality only a few dozen women were held. 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 tell.
