>> an unprecedented scandal. the anti-doping agency calls for russia to be suspended from all competitions. >> hello there, i'm barbara serra. you're watching al jazeera live from london. as violence continues in the west bank israel's prime minister meth meets barack obama in washington. celebrations in myanmar as early election results show major gains for the opposition party. and failing a generation,

hundreds of thousands of syrian refugee children are missing out on an education. >> one of the biggest ever scandals has hit track and field athletics. the world anti-doping agency said that russia should be kicked out of the sport for widespread drug offenses. the iaaf said is it considering banning russia while interpol announces it's own investigation. there are recommendations of lifetime bans of five athletes and coaches.

>> we have found cover ups. we have found destruction of samples in the laboratories. we found payments of money in order to conceal doping tests. >> in a moment we'll be seeking to rory challands who is live in moscow for us. first, in the iaaf headquarters, explosive stuff there. tell us more about exactly what is in this report and a bit more about the specific accusation. >> hi barbara, first we're outside of a hotel in geneva where the press conference of the independent commission set up by wada has been giving this report. this commission has been looking into allegations made in a german documentary that came out last december. in that documentary we showed

russian coaches, members of the russian athletics federation being involved in doping, giving substances to athletes, allegations that they were extorting money from russian athletes to cover up positive samples. and the chair of this commission richard pound has said overwhelmingly that documentary has been corroborated, and the areas are systemic doping in russian athletics. russia is one of the powerhouses in world athletics. it's really a dark day for them. a dark day for athletics as a whole. the hope is now that this sport can push on and really become clean. the recommendation, of course, is that russia be suspended from athletic competitions, which could mean that it misses out orneryio 2016 next year. >> we'll be getting reaction from russia in just a few

minutes. before you were mentions, the dark days that is the phrase that the president of the international association athletic federation used to describe not only what was coming out today but coming out about athletics for a while. they themselves have been stringent, they could have been stricter. >> could you repeat the last part of your question. >> could you speak to the criticism that the international athletics itself has come under? >> yes, they did criticize the iaaf for not doing enough in this case. it's been highlighted that it did take an investigative journalist to make these findings sebastian coe was

elected last summer and may regret th--the good thing for sebastian coe. he's new in the job. he has a lot of credit for his role as an athlete, his role with london 2012. he may hope that this dark day turns into an opportunity today to show that someone might do something about it. >> paul rhs for us in geneva with that report revealed now as we just heard russian athletes are heavily implicated in it. more the latest reaction from moscow let's speak to rory challands. it didn't take long for them to come back with a response in these accusations. remind us of what he said. >> yes, well, he said that well, essentially from the press here,

the calls for russia to be banned from athletics not objective because the organizations management was changed in the spring after the cases were detailed in this report. while there have been cases of doping in russia athletics, he said he doesn't think this is systemic in nature. but he wasn't the first person to react to this from a russian federal organization. actually, the first body that came out to speak about this was not to do the sport at all. it's an agency called the federal medical biological agency, and they were very--they had come out with damning reports with recommendations to disqualify russians from the athletics is politically motivated. someone who we not heard from

yet is the sports minister. he was mentioned in the report and mentioned in the press conference by dick pound. he did speak yesterday and said broadly similar things that the athletics organization said. yes, russia does have problems with doping, but they're not systemic, and russia is dealing with it. keep in mind, they said it was inconceivable that the russian sports minister would have been unaware of the allegations that dick pound was making, and dick pound said if he was aware of them, then he's complicit in them. >> rory hlannds, thank you. . >> the u.s. president and israeli prime minister are holding their first face-to-face

talks in more than a year. the focus will be on combating isil and israel's security. the talks come as violence as escalated in israel and the occupied palestinian territories during the past month. the relations between the u.s. and israel have been strained after the white house backed the deal to lift sanctions on iran allowing it to continue to develop its nuclear program. well, president obama obama gave more details about what the meeting would actually contain. >> in light of what continues to be chaotic situation in syria, this will give us an opportunity to discuss what is happening there. we'll have an opportunity to discuss how we can blunt the activities of isil, hezbollah, other organizations in the region that carry out terrorist

attacks. >> let's get more now from our correspondent patty culhane. she's in washington, d.c. patty, israel, of course, is the u.s.' biggest ally. not least because of the iranian-nuclear deal. what does benjamin netanyahu want from president obama in terms of assurance? >> he wants more money. they're working on a new ten-year agreement. this is the way the u.s. funds israeli military projects. they do it over a ten-year period. the president wants to get it done before they're in office. if you think about it, the u.s. gives just over $3 billion a year after the iran deal there were reports that the prime minister was going to up the request to up to $5 billion a year. the white house not signaling that they're going to give that full amount, but they're negotiating, trying to send the message that they'll do what it takes to make israel more comfortable now that the iran

nuclear deal is done. we've been told we don't expect there was an agreement that will come out today. we'll try to hash out what an agreement might look like. i think what we saw here in this oval office is offense times when these leaders get together it's more fiery than that, who can forget benjamin netanyahu shaking his finger the preside president. the thing that israel wanted to say when it came to the recent violence in the occupied territories saying they condemn incitement and israel has a right to protect itself. for his part netanyahu said that he believes what the president wants to hear that he's committed to a peace process and a final two-state solution. now i can tell you behind the scenes here top aides have told me that they have given up the idea that that can be

accomplished during the president's time in office. >> the two haven't really ever seen eye to eye even before the iranian nuclear deal, but this is president obama's last year in office. how are other people who perhaps might be in office this time next year or nearly looking at this meeting, what else is there to gain for other players who aren't just obama. >> i can tell you that they would like to see a republican take office in the presidency because that's been one of the points the republican candidates have been hammering on, saying they have december missed the country's strongest ally in the region. they're promising to give them even more money. one of the things that some republicans circles here in town have been talking about is supplying israel with this new bond that the u.s. has developed. a massive penetrator or mob. it's the only bomb capable of reaching underground facilities in israel chose to strike those.

the obama administration is reluctant to hand over that type of weaponry, but that is being discussed. it's a much different story if you talk about the democrats. hillary clinton has always been a very vocal supporter of israel. one of the things she recently said on the campaign trail if she was to win the presidency is that she just doesn't see a chance for a two-state solution or negotiations right now. she painted a broad window saying they could not talk in the situation in syria was resolved. until the kingdom of jordan would remain stable. she seems to be indicating that if she's elected there is not going to be a whole lot of pressure coming from her to get any sort of peace solution. >> patty culhane with the latest from washington, d.c. thank you. six people, two u.s. citizens a south african and three jordanians have been shot dead at a police training center in jordan. it happened in the outskirts of aman. they were shot by a jordanian police officer, who was then

shot dead himself. roslind jordan joins me now to give the latest from washington, d.c. what is coming out on this--from the u.s.? >> the u.s. government is confirming that it was two u.s. government employees who were shot and killed during this incident. they don't know what the motive s and they're trying to avoid speculation because the investigation is just getting under way. the u.s. president barack obama noted the incident in his hoping remarks with the israeli prime minister a short time ago that he didn't say much more other than the families have been notified and that the u.s. i is--this facility is--this facility

criticized for failing to deal with the influx of refugees. hundreds of elderly people in kenya are being murdered every year after being accused of witchcraft often by their own relatives. malcolm web has been to one place where they're finding refugee. three hours drive from the nearest town this remote village is a shelter for old people who have been adduced of witchcraft. they come here to hide from their neighbors who threaten to kill them. it is a problem here. charities say more than 200 old people are killed every year accused of being witches. this woman was accused by her own relatives. >> it was some of my family members who chased me from my home. i have some problems with my joints. they found it strange, and they said that i was a witch and sent me away. >> to the people who run the

shelter who believe in witchcraft, everyone who comes here has to go through this ceremony, whether they believe in it or in the. those who do think the shaving cleanses people who were witches. people hold traditional beliefs very strongly and they're allowed to com--and they're not allowed to come in the enclosure. but behind every story of witchcraft, there is a dispute over land or livestock, and behind that is a context of extreme poverty. in this woman's case she had inherited hammer land from her laid husband. she thinks some of her children want to sell it. the local chief told us limited land are growing population and lack of education and jobs have made people desperate. >> because people want to inherit the land and find a way

the moment we heal thi--we kill this person we shall be free. the land will be ours. they find ways of eliminating the elders. >> this woman said she didn't know what happened to her land since she fled but she wanted to come with us to find out. this is all that is left of her house. the grass roof burned, the walls pushed down. next door she finds some of her grandchildren and her daughter-in-law. one of her sons is here, too. he didn't want to talk to her or about who was responsible. the police who came with us said it was not safe for her to stay here. but before we left with her, she spent a moment with her grandchildren. she says whens she was their age old people were always cared for by their families. now she doesn't know if she'll ever come home or see them again. malcolm webb, al jazeera. >> the security council will meet later to discuss the recent
