On so long. Like, people cannot get a test. It is extremely stressful on hate speech. And we are already dealing with the none upsetting time, and people are being treated poorly. Theyve onlyjust gone back to class a french court has ruled that but already hundreds of pupils are sent home over covid lamine diack, the man who ran fears Teachers Want world athletics for 16 years, is corrupt. Hes been given a four year prison sentence. Here he is entering court today in paris. And he was found guilty of accepting bribes from russian athletes who were suspected of doping. He took money to help cover up positive test results, allowing the athletes to keep competing. And this the guy in charge of the whole sport remember. Heres our Sports Reporter alex capstick. Imean, i mean, this man was a powerful figure in Global Sports notjust in athletics where he was president between 199090 2015. But also in the ioc between 199090 2015. But also in the 10c where he was a senior member. People looked up to he led athletics, some would say it was a golden era because it continue same boat who now retired from the sport. And underneath there was a stench of corruption and as was found in a french court today. Because he was accepting money from russian athletes who be competing. Lamine diack says he will appeal. Hes admitted to covering up doping, but insists he was doing it to protect the image of the sport, not to make money. The french court disagreed. It found he took payments totalling almost 3. 5 Million Euros thats around 4 million us dollars. In return he agreed to stop or slow down the sanctioning of russian athletes. That allowed 23 drug cheats to compete in the 2012 london olympics and the world athletics champions in moscow the following year. And think of the impact of that hundreds of athletes losing out to people who shouldnt have been there. This was one of those rival athletes outside court today. Translation you cant see the smile on my face with the mask im wearing, but im very happy to been recognised as a victim of the corruption by the leaders, and im also happy for all the athletes who were. When you continue to fight against doping and to have been recognised is important for us. Five Co Defendants were also convicted in paris today. That included this man Papa Massata Diack lamine diacks son, he was sentenced to five years jailfor corruption. Although he was tried in absentia after senegal refused to extradite him. Also worth remembering that while the top man in the sport was accepting bribes, russia was also carrying out a state sponsored doping program that covered the vast majority of olympics sports. Russia is currently serving a four year ban from the olympics and the football world cup because of that. The times Sports WriterRick Broadbent writer summed up the feelings of many with this tweet. Capstick again with more on the reaction. Not a great day for this board. And worth athletics up which is now run by Sebastian Kerr theyve been trying to pick up the pieces for this. They have been awarded damages of 16 million to be paid by all six defendants. That is a combined amount. 5 million from each. The rest divided between the other four. They been trying to rebuild the reputation of olympics. Because of that scandal, because of the court case and the allegations they lost big time sponsors. They lost money. And thats why theyve been struggling since then. They made some of the back but of course covid 19 has and help them. Thats why they were so interested in this case and thats why they got the 60 million without which they said theyre going to do their best to recover. Help me understand the scale of this conspiracy. We have the manna top involved in it but what degree did it involve others in the organisation . Yes, he was he figured that but also mentioning his son who was also a marketing executive. Not only was he getting money from russian athletes but he was also creating millions of dollars are contracts, deals he was doing was sponsors and other interested parties. But the other men that were found guilty in this case, all senior athletic officials. Dolly who is it the head of anti doping under the act. In a couple of russians, one was the head of russian athletics. He was also the treasurer of the iw. He was involved in taking the money from the athletes and giving it to dx. At leading russian athletic coach, he was also involved in taking money from those athletes. I should say they have been banned for life from athletics. Important developments on brexit today. First, the uk government has reached a deal with rebels within its own party over that controversial bill that seeks to override part of the brexit withdrawal deal. Heres Laura Kuenssberg i understand a deal heres the bbcs iain watson with the details. By by far is the most controversial pa rt of by far is the most controversial part of the bill of those sections that would allow the government to ignore parts of the brexit deal which borisjohnson reach with brussels to bring brexit about last year. In particular in relation to Northern Island. And where the government go ahead and legislate for this and do exactly what the bill says it would be breaching international law. It would allow the government to do supplier, as it calls it, in other words i ignored the agreement they reached on state aid and also excellent declarations with goods leaving Northern Island for the rest of the United Kingdom. So the government would ineffective daily be breaking some of the commitments it made to the european union. As you know hasnt gone well they are. Equally even amongst jump borisjohnsons they are. Equally even amongst jump Boris Johnsons conservative mps many of them were expressing this consent. 0n the prize minister expressing discontent and former law office rs expressing discontent and former law officers as well was up a prospect officers as well was up a prospect of rebellion in those specific parts of rebellion in those specific parts of the rebellion due to be discussed here in houston, next week. The government has tried to reach a compromise with some of those who are rebelling. 0thers eight uterine to try to repress the size of that rebellion. Are the suggestions that the governments calculations are correct . That the prospects of a rebellion will go down a great deal . I think we should be clear that this compromise being reached doesnt stop the government from breaching international law. What theyve agreed is that mps, members of Parliament Rather than government ministers will get a specific vote oii ministers will get a specific vote on whether to go ahead with the measures which would put britain out of step with international law. A parliamentary law, this is as they say, another layer of reassurance which the government can then say to brussels, this really is going to be the last resort. And tonight in a statement jointly by downing street, by which borisjohnsons statement jointly by downing street, by which Boris Johnsons office and by which Boris Johnsons office and by the leading former loyal they have said there is no near unanimous agreement in the conservative Parliamentary Party full stops on People Holding out against us. A couple of people voting against legislation earlier this week. But quite frankly, the idea of a serious rebellion has now been surprised. Thats the perspective from west minister. Have a look at the suite. Tweet. This issue has caused considerable upset inside the legal profession. The governments most Senior Lawyer resigned over this last week. And today this man lord keen followed. Hes the goverments top Legal Adviser for scotland the advocate general. And hes resigned. His Resignation Letter says 0ver the past week i have found it so thats two of the most senior legalfigures in the uk both gone because of this bill. Well borisjohnson has been quizzed by mps on this issue today. Heres some of what he had to say about the eus negotiating approach. Perhaps they will prove my suspicions wrong. Perhaps they will agree in the joint committee to withdraw some of the extreme suggestions that ive heard and all will be well. But until such time, i prefer to have protections guaranteeing the integrity of this country and protect against the potential rupture of the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, ursula von der leyen, president of european commission, turned to brexit in her state of the union speech. And they union and that you jointly agreed ensuring it was the best way to ensure peace in ireland. And we will never backtrack on that. In this agreement has been ratified. By this agreement has been ratified. By this house and by the house of commons. It can not be unilaterally changed, disregarded or dis applied. This is eight matter of law and trust in good faith. She also says the hopes for a trade deal between the uk and the eu are fading maybe but the darkest hour is just before dawn as they say. Well see. From brussels to washington uks foreign secretary, dominic raab, is there and will have known a number of members of congress are unhappy with this new bill from the uk government. Four released a statement saying the governments move could have there was quite a different tone from us secretary of state mike pompeo. Yes, we trust the United Kingdom. I am confident they will get it right. Weve made clear our view of the importance of the good friday agreement, we know the complexity of the situation, we have done what we can to provide assistance where we can. In the end, this will be a set of decisions with respect to this that the United Kingdom makes an ivory confidence that they will get this right in a way that treats everyone fairly and gets a good outcome for what it was the people of the United Kingdom voted for his part, foreign secretary raab blamed issue the eu for the uk seeking to change a deal it signed. The uk action here is defensive, in relation to what the eu is doing, it is precautionary, we have not done any of this, and it is proportionate. But we cannot have, this is contrary to the Northern Ireland protocol, the eu erecting a regulatory border down the irish sea between the island of ireland and britain. Ive had really good conversations andi ive had really good conversations and i think its helpful to be able to explain the point of view. So why does it matter what the us congress thinks of the brexit deal . Gary 0donoghue explains. When it comes to treaties like this, two thirds of the senate have to vote for this, so you need both parties on board in significant number to make that happen, so while mike pompeo may sound reasonably relaxed about the position vis a vis the British Government in deep eu, the democrats are not relaxed. For members of congress, including three democratic chairs of various powerful committees on capitol hill, wrote to borisjohnson yesterday, saying, in terms, that they would oppose any uk deal if it was a threat to the good friday agreement. Since the internal marketing was published, the Irish Government and the Irish Embassy in washington has been lobbing very hard, there are people on capitol hill who are very receptive to the irish lobby, notably because of the historical links between many of the east coast and ireland, and theyve been working hard to say that theres going to be a threat, a reasonable threat there could be a hard border Northern Ireland and the south. That is what dominic raab is here, trying to reassure the americans that that wont happen, even if they do take these powers themselves as the British Government. Thanks to gary. Every day outside source we distilled the biggest stories around the world. Covid19 and the fastest spreading outbreak in the world is in india. At the moment, there are around 90,000 new cases a day. tx 00v this chart shows how fast the virus has spread. Initially india appeared to be doing reasonably well a Strict Lockdown was brought in and numbers stayed low. But as india opened up, those numbers moved and by august there had been over two million. If those are the cases, indias death toll is currently the third highest in the world at more than 80,000. That though should be seen in the context with its Huge Population in per capita terms, the virus has killed about 60 people in every million whereas in brazil and the us, the per capita rate is nearly 10 times as high. None the less, there are questions for Prime MinisterNarendra Modi though he appears to be avoiding the blame. Divya arya is in delhi. This is a very popular government, headed by a very popular Prime Minister. And the way the government has talked about the pandemic from the first day, in the various addresses of the Prime Minister and his ministers, is that it is a global pandemic, which kind of shielded government partly by saying the whole world is in this together. And the people i have met over the course of my reporting in the past months have also said that, that the government is doing what it can because, after all, everybody is suffering. But it seems that now, there is some skepticism also creeping into that, because now people are starting to question was the lockdown and the way it was imposed a sound economic move, as well as a sound move to protect their health, because weve got one million covid cases coming injust11 days. So, the numbers are increasing and increasing at a faster pace every day, while our economy is in very bad shape weve got the worst figures globally, growth that is 23 in the last quarter so people are saying, youre asking us to move out, youre asking us to have trust in you, but then our health is going to be at risk, so there is some skepticism about what the government has been able to do and is promising to do. Divya arya mentioned there it took india just 11 days to add another one million cases of coronavirus. And the growth of its outbreak has outpaced the United States, brazil and russia. Each row in this graphic shows how many days it took to add another one million cases, you can see india in red took 168 days to get to its first million. After that, as you go down, india gets to the next one million in the shortest number of days, each time compared to brazil in yellow, and the United States in black. Bhramar mukherjee shared that chart on twitter. Shes an epidemiologist from the university of michigan. And heres what she told me earlier about the situation in india. Initial lockdown really bought us time to scale up our testing, Contact Tracing and health care infrastructure. But a return from the lockdown had to be much more cautious and modulated. I feel like there is a general sense of giving up and surrendering to destiny. I do not no whether it is habituation, desensitization, adaptation, just public fatigue or sheer denial. It is all an interaction of all of these, which is leading to this recent growth and the lifting of the lockdown, there is a lot more mobility and i feel people are getting tired of adhering to social distancing and mask wearing is going down. So, causing thewse spikes. India is a very heterogeneous system, so some of the states coming down, but other states are rising to boil. It is very hard to distinguish the National Peaks because it is really a consolence of various speak or a cascade or wave of peaks. Isnt the primary issue here though bombs on pakistan one by the Prime Minister there said that look, we could do a further lockdown but economically, this is not viable. Theyre too many People Living in poverty at the moment. Isnt it the same calculation in india . I think the same considerations apply to indian it seems like we have worst of all, one of the biggest economic shrinkage is, plus the largest number of cases. And i think the one reason why the implementation of the lockdown without a proper planning led to the spread of the virus from the north and the west part of the country. Now it is to the east and south as well. So, i think it is very hard to control the virus in india unless every state comes to a state of containment now that the lockdown is over. Stay with us on 0utside source still to come. Theres been violence in gaza a day after israel established diplomatic relations with the uae and bahrain. Well have the latest from bbc arabic. Borisjohnson has defended the uk governments coronavirus testing system which he says is trying to meet a colossal spike in demand. Theres been growing criticism and concern about the difficulty in obtaining a test, including having to travel long distances. Heres our health editor, hugh pym. Laboratory capacity to handle the test that was going to come on stream in late september and october to get to their target of half a million tests a day by the end of next month. But its all come to a head right now. With this mismatch between supply and demand and only a certain amount of tests available for the next few weeks. As we heard, a prioritisation with the nhs and social care getting the first batch available each day and leaving some for people. Hence the enormous frustration that weve been hearing from people who waited to get test. The government line is if you havent got symptoms, you should not try and get a test. That is absolutely clear. This is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is.
