a psychiatric examination to get the ball after she published photos of i still think to. buy their broadcast around the world live from r.t. h.q. moscow it's six pm here now this thursday happy days going good lots of news to get through starting with this the world anti doping agency has voted to reinstate russia's anti drug agency it was after the body was suspended back in twenty fifteen over an alleged state sponsored doping scandal the head of russia's olympic committee has said the state never denied it had doping issues. but we never denied the existence of it and. we will fully. demand but let out let us take our viewers through the whole thing how it started the mclaren report the allegations and we believe you can watch the clip now. the
11:02 am
damning mclaren reports on alleged state sponsored doping in russia has led to many athletes being stripped of their meadows and others prevented from taking part in major events including the olympics 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 richard mclaren the i.o.c. ostrom more conclusive proof the document was covered with the phrase how to demonstrate almost every athlete's name moreover it was admitted by wada but in many cases the evidence provided may not be sufficient to bring successful cases of dr richard mclaren's findings were issued into pogs they claim that over a thousand russian athletes were involved in a state sponsored doping program let's meet the riposte star witness. the
11:03 am
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 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 by. 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
11:04 am
granules 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 a high security part of which is swiss 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 enough have seen it i've seen it done in i've been inspected it can be done anything 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 an unprecedented scale i hope that we will be able to see some evidence for 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. so water is saying
11:05 am
all be tenuous it's time for a fresh start here hopefully needed to be lessons have been learned now what's this going to mean for the international. federation and russian athletes caught up in the middle of all this some of them of course there's no cloud over the mood although what some to my career what is it going to mean for them today now it's obviously about the clean athletes in the first place because doctors will stay banned and it's clear you know what i can say it's opening the door wide open for these cleanup is to be back into the sport but it gives them the chance to open that door because one of the main conditions from the international association of athletics federation to have the russian federation of athletes back into the sport was still have the anti-doping agency and operating normally. it's easy to understand how can you root for clean sports if you don't want the anti-doping agency to be reinstated it's i mean those two things cannot work without each other athletes can be clean only if there isn't there is a laboratory which checks them for being clean essentially that's what happened
11:06 am
today and that's why even so. headlines that i've seen from the media are misleading they say that russia waltzes back into the world of sport it's not russia it's the russian anti-doping agency which can if work sufficiently nabl russian athletes to be back into the sport and that's something that is important to understand for everyone you know trying to comment on this matter because what i'm seeing right now is basically why they caved in you know succumbed to the pressure and all those kind of things no it's just giving a chance it's all about giving a chance to these athletes and first of all the daubing agency to perform it's work put into perspective for us as seen in russia thanks very much lou thank you so story in from britain britain's prime minister trees i'm a strong. bricks a lot difficult job but an informal e.u. summit in austria but the british press meantime while she's away has been poring over an explosive leaked memo to the un confirmed dos here speech said originally
11:07 am
published by the telegraph newspaper not only reveals may's own party duos but also lists crucially possible successes probably boy has got the story the big question is who comes next that appears to be the question that the conservative party is mulling over privately and rather actively on whatsapp conversations that seems to be world of political processing 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. bookie's fruit after a joke a brief 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 but
11:08 am
as you saw there they're saying the favorite never wins so let's take a look at the next person on the list jump it once it 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
11:09 am
formally the health secretary and he's seen as a bit of a political survivor despite the fact that he presided 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 govern move. in full campaign mode but very reliant on controlling her own departure point yet governed williamson is very much treasonous favorite. but the likelihood of her having a say in who succeed her succeed isn't seen as very big to me i have to say this all reads a bit like i'm 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
11:10 am
britain is leaving the e.u. in march twenty nineteen added it it appears that once this quite frankly frank loesser task is over once the poison chalice of briggs 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 set and i think the list pretty much speaks for itself. part of a team in the u.k. the boat half an hour ago bought you a very short bit of breaking news. the shooting we reported in the us a good bit more for you know multiple victims have been reported in the shooting than the state of maryland authorities say the scene still an active one they're warning
11:11 am
people to stay away local t.v. stations report the instant the business district there just outside of the city of baltimore so as we get more we'll let you know no exact number of the victims or how badly injured they are but it does seem that the scene is still active and still under way the police i'm sure gives more updates shortly and we'll brief you to. senate confirmation hearing for donald trump supreme court nominees people spoke and amid those sexual assault allegations cover the denies the nation's well the president's been uncharacteristically careful when speaking about the case trump did though insisted 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. a president i would say this i think he's an extraordinary man i think he's a man of great intellect is i've been telling you if you showed up that would be
11:12 am
wonderful if he doesn't show up. that would be a fortune. and as more and on 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 circus of anger and accusations. writ kavanaugh mr chairman. mr chairman. we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman a very warm welcome not they are given they're going on in the. way or. we cannot be recognized by move to adjourn. so here's why the issue is
11:13 am
so did visit the u.s. supreme court has the final legal say on crucial issues and justices are appointed for life no wonder both sides want tipped the balance in their favor so the gloves come off the accusations are now flying. first a woman who was 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 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 spunk chicks to prove this false then cavanagh's habit of buying baseball tickets became breaking news investigative reporters scoured his financial
11:14 am
disclosures. and learned that he had his friends tickets 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 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
11:15 am
she is lying and i've been calling her names not surprisingly the media is now taking sides this was intended. and i believe offensive forward judge kavanaugh 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
11:16 am
confrontations but rarely do they expose such a deeply divided america up and artsy in new york. her want to from says top politicians marie le pen has been ordered to consult assad khana trist why you will tell you after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down in.
11:17 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 dialogue. and completely forget the economic dimension of the crisis. again welcome back so french court as mentioned disorders far right leader marine le pen to undergo a psychiatric evaluation the obligation to submit test results is linked to photos
11:18 am
lappin probably posted on twitter which show victims of islamic state shall do brain ski's proof following this. well those approaches were published towards the end of two thousand and fifteen just weeks off to paris attacks in the november of that year and it came of a criticism from a t.v. journalist who tried to say that le pen's party which was then called the national front was essentially the same thing as the terror group isis known as diana shame france she tweeted pictures along with a statement saying this is trying to distance her party away from back group well since her immunity as an m.e.p. was lifted this year she's now facing charges of circulating violent messages that could incite terrorism or seriously harm human dignity and as a result of this ongoing investigation the court has ordered her to have
11:19 am
psychiatric assessment to see if she can understand remarks and respond to questions she's firas so 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 a 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 the one nine hundred seventy s. well during the pain is said that she will refuse point blank to go along that court mandated psychiatric assessment and she's also suggests that they could be some political motivations for that call that assessment because let's not forget
11:20 am
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 falls staying in europe for next story to migration relations with arab states internal security and of course broke sit all those topics all being hammered out in the final day of an informal e.u. summit being held in salzburg keeping track of all the europe correspondent in the middle of europe there in berlin hey well plenty of talk about peter what's come out so far from this informal meeting as promised amazed watching about back home. well it all wrapped up in salzburg no major breakthroughs everybody seemed
11:21 am
relatively happy about the austrian chancellor european. mission president. and council president donald tusk addressing the media after that at that final press conference migration and how best to police the external border of the european union was a major topic being discussed there. donald tusk heading into the summit it said it was crucial it was important that a united front was presented on this issue at the end of the summit he said well they were almost there but not quite. show the we may not agree on everything but we agree on the main goal. which is the legal migration to europe. well the shot in the arm the increase in the powers and the personnel of frontex is one of the major proposals that's being put forward ten thousand
11:22 am
extra border and coast guards by twenty twenty one of the main people against this though is one gary in prime minister viktor orban he said that this is a plan that essentially anglin merkel's plan the german chancellor's program i gratian plan and that these frontex agents the frontex border and coast guards they would be nothing more than mercenaries that hung gary and should be the ones policing hungary's borders sebastián curt's the austrian chancellor did say that there were issues regarding sovereignty when it came to this plan to improve and increase the powers of frontex however he said it was important to focus on external border security the external border of the european union the reason for that he said was because if they were to try and talk and get any further on what to do when it came to distributing refugees and migrants with in the block well they would be simply too many arguments to make any real progress. before i
11:23 am
still share the opinion with some of the state and government heads that the debate about the distribution of migrants will not solve the problem because the approach has to be different they are different and they will remain like that. well no solid deals on migration no solid breakthroughs when it came to bragg's it either to reason may had a chance to put forward her plans for the future of northern ireland to leaders on wednesday evening they dismissed quite polite term saying that mrs may was going as far as to say mrs may was just doing her job and they understood why she was putting across what she was putting across when it came to what's being called the check is deal to reason may's preferred way that britain would leave the european union said it's a good start but it's just not well it's not acceptable to the european side did
11:24 am
say that compromises from both sides had to be made to try and find a solution but there were some areas that the european side wouldn't compromise on that when they were things that would impede upon the fundamental freedoms of the european union things like freedom of movement also things that would allow essentially the u.k. access to the single market without actually being part of the single market junkfood youngcare added a little bit more on this he said that time was running out for a deal they're hoping to have one in place by october but he did say that in the case of a no deal breaker that the european commission had plans in place for every possible common dinge and he didn't go any further than that and he said it wasn't beneficial to discuss a no deal breaker because well it wasn't an aim of either the european side or as far as he was concerned the british site so lots talks about seemingly lots more to talk about crucially though no breakthroughs almost two major issues at this european summit. and those are what's not going to our door no time for you either
11:25 am
but to cut you off from central europe pre-shared stories r.t. dot com twenty four seventh's. we want a strong european union based on strong member states and we want a europe which sticks to its christian heritage so number one we don't want europe to get rid of the christian heritage and we want the member states to us they as member states we don't want off you know give up our nationality we don't want to give up our cause surely don't blow you off or heritage and so on and so forth. when we all make this manufacture consent instant to the public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. when the final
