5:01 am
is a big draw and one of the world's largest air shows will be in dubai. ♪ russia's sports ministry has said it is not surprised by latest allegations that drug cheating is widespread in athletics but in a mixed message they completely rejected the world's antidoping agency's conclusions and described the accusations that doping in russia were state sponsored as baseless and fictional and also insisted russia's doping agencies are totally independent and says they collect 15,000 samples annually with disqualification of roughly 2% of the athletes tested and he is accused of double standards saying investigations are not commissioned in other countries and let's speak to rory
5:02 am
challenge live in moscow and rory tell us more about what the russian sports ministry is saying because there is some confusion if it's agreeing there is a problem here. >> well, it does take a little bit of analysis to unpick the different comments that have come out of the sports ministry in the last few hours since the wider report was published but what i have detected is three main strands to his argument, the first is invasion really saying that the sports ministry, the russian government needs more time and has not been proper to devil into the populations and it will do so in time and then it will be able to give a proper response to them. but then there is also compliance and saying that whatever russia decides and whatever russia sort of responds to the report with it will comply with whatever the
5:03 am
international athletics association federation says the iaaf if that says that russia has to make certain improvements or decides to exclude athletes from future competitions then russia will abide by that but he is also defensive and he says that as you pounted out there shuilie and the allegations according to the sports minister are fictitious and untrue and it's not that he denies that russia has a problem with doping and he admits this and says russia is a country like most countries that has a problem with athletes taking banned substances but there is a system in place and that system works and points to a long list of russian athletes who have been prosecuted in russia and excluded from the force and what is baseless and fictitious about the reports is that the accusations that it's systemic and something that the ministry
5:04 am
and the state was involved in. > >>@ athletics a big issue in russia and what has been the public's reaction to these allegations? >> there has been a considerable amount of media coverage of this as you would expect. what the response has been varies from publication to publication and it has gone from the fairly stringent in the newspaper a commenter said it is slander and must have been financially motivated in making the accusations and then a bomb exploded in geneva and that is the coverage, shock really, a sports publication called sport express calls it the black monday and the high vertebrae newspaper said this is the
5:05 am
biggest attack on russian domestic sport in history. >> rory challenge in moscow there and let's speak to john good body a sports reporter from the times and is here from london and good to have you with us and massive scandal for russia and calls for russia to be banned from world athletics to include the 2016 olympics what do you think is going to happen? >> much will depend on the decision of the iaaf council which meets this weekend, friday, saturday. and what their reaction is because the russians have to respond to this and give their explanation officially to the iaaf, the world governing body for athletics and the iff will make a decision if they should suspend russia and my guess is
5:06 am
they probably will and there is also the reabling shun of the international olympic committee and guard the games and if they want to have russia in the games next year certainly for track and field athletics and possibly for other sports as well. >> beyond russia, john, what does this say about the iaaf as you say they are the governing body, is their integrity also in question? >> well, their integrity certainly in question because as is quite clear that the leading figures in the organization were complicit with these allegations and clueded with the russians. the problem at the moment is on that particular strand of the story is that it's all subdue to say because the french investigators because the headquarters of the iaaf are in
5:07 am
monte-carlo and french jurisdiction they are yet to conclude their inquiries but already arrested for leading figures and have now pursuing further investigations with the possibility of charges for money laundering and malpractice. >> you know, another scandal involving a massive sport and we are seeing what is happening with fifa do you think this will fuel calls for more independent sport and are people fed up with scandals involving powerful organizations? >> i think from the drugs point of view we are moving very quickly towards a situation where the world antidoping agency, the organization that did this report and set up originally in 1999 in lozan and then the water code was
5:08 am
established in 2003 i think there is a very strong case for the drug testing to be done completely independently of the world governing bodies and, in fact, to a certain extent to the national governing bodies and this is done in some countries such as britain and the united states of being two examples. what is more difficult i think would be to have an independent organization as it were responsible for the running of a sport. i think that would be very, very difficult to achieve. >> john, good to get your thoughts there thank you very much indeed for joining us john good body there. now european election monitors in myanmar have said the poll was generally transparent but not flawless, on sunday the league for democracy is on track for a landslide victory in the historic election and give the
5:09 am
opposition party the presidency and might loosen the grip on the country and we will speak to wayne live there and wayne it's a pretty slow process this vote counting but there seems to belittle doubt that the nld is on course for a big win here. >> certainly seems that way you are right, it is an extremely slow process and we are getting very gradually some official results coming out from the union election commission, so far only 62 seats have been confirmed in the lower house of parliament, 62 constituencies, the national league for democracy of aung san suu kyi and looking good and the party may win around 75-80% of their seats that are up for grabs in the upper and lower houses of parliament but yes a very slow process and nld in particular on
5:10 am
aung san suu kyi would like this process to be sped up but at the moment they will have to live with it and wait patiently to begin celebrations. >> and european saying the election went a lot better than expected and transparency and do want to see some changes there and concerned about the low number of muslim candidates and female candidates. >> that is right and there was far from perfect and the theme coming out of the eu observer mission but said myanmar is taking steps to democracy, it's a process and even though it was far from perfect and seems are held in a proper fashion and there was some concern about voter registration, some concern about advance voting as well and the other issues that you mentioned and issues going forward and worried about the fact that the quarter of all seats in parliament are reserved for the parliamentary and knew
5:11 am
that going in the process but made a call to the eu and wants to see at least one of those houses of parliament made up 100% in the near future of elected mps so in other words doing away with those pointed members from the military that is going to be a very difficult thing for aung san suu kyi and her party to do if indeed they are going to go forward and form the government because the military still retains veto power over any changes to the constitution and that is what it will take, it will take an amendment to the constitution to make changes like that getting rid of those military seats in parliament. >> and amendment to the constitution to along aung san suu kyi to ever stand for presidency so if the nld are going to form a government i suppose the bigger question is what kind of government is it going to be and who is going to be the president? >> and certainly a lot of challenges ahead fair to say
5:12 am
shiulie and quarter of the seats are concern for aung san suu kyi and her party they will retain control of the military of three very large security-related ministries that have the veto power over any changes to the constitution, so while they will be able to make some key policy decisions in parliament if they are able to form the government some of the big changes they want to see will require a lot of negotiation and winning over of the military so there is a lot of trust building to go on there, a lack of trust is really built up over 50 years of military rule in this country so certainly a long way to go. we don't know yet who the nld would nominate for its presidency candidate and won't know who the president will be, in fact, until sometime early in the new year. >> wayne thank you for that. now the british prime minister david cameron has been talking about reforms he wants to see in
5:13 am
the european union before a crucial referendum that will determine whether the uk stays in the 28 nation block and linked membership of eu to national security. >> fresh threats and dangers to the country and i'm in no doubt for britain the european question is not just a matter of economic security but of national security too. not just a matter of jobs and trade but of the safety and security of our nation. equally when europe and the european union accounts for almost half of our trade it matters for economic security that the european union is competitive and succeeds in promoting prosperity for its members. >> and we have been following cameron's speech and is live from london and what kind of reforms does cameron want to se see? >> not really demands and he has
5:14 am
to negotiate these things with his fellow leaders and they will find it has to be fairly flexible in what it hopes to achieve as the basis for a drive that mr. cameron will then take on to convince the british people they should remain in the european union rather out of it in a referendum to take place before the end of 2016 so a set of aims he has put out there and a letter to the european council donald and talks to brussels that will kickoff in the middle of december and what are the aims? he will spend the speech talking about one in particular eu migration to this country and in particular the feeling among many britains that people come to this country both economic migrants and political asylum seekers because of its over generous welfare system and people take advantage and abuse the system and wants to see
5:15 am
strict limits put in place for the way welfare are handed out for migrants for at least four years when they arrive in the country and that is one and controversial and challenges the freedom of movement for the eu and difficult to pass and others include sovereignty drive, greater power for national parliament to vote down laws they don't like in brussels particularly for britain and opt out of further moves towards closer movement in britain and also importantly safeguards and protection for noneuro members of the union and want to see safeguards for the cherished financial center here in the city of london. >> how do other eu countries feel about these changes he wants? >> that will be for the negotiations to tell. he has to strike a fairly fine balance now between the fellow leaders the 27 leaders of the eu
5:16 am
and he will have to sit around a big table and talk about the things and the public in britain and eu of course there are eastern european nations that won't like his stance on migration and will be a problem for him and may want to soften the edges of his aims but not water them down so much to convince the public to stay in the eu because right now the polls say there may be a majority of britain who are thinking very seriously about voting for britain to leave the eu. >> thank you for that in london there. there is more on the al jazeera news hour the u.n. says the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere reached record levels in 2014 and scientists warn about a new permanent reality how enthusiastic the turks are from joining eu and this is the

5:25 am
knee-high water and if you go further south it was very similar and lasted for quite a short time and gave quite a lot of water as you can see, in fact, they washed the road away in places and as i say it went all the way down the coast and the results were very similar and didn't matter where you live and however it doesn't mean it's necessarily over for the immediate future and the main rain moved away and the rain is on shore and remember what is happening in europe, a huge amount of water vapor coming in the north and to turkey and producing rain and could bring showers to the same area but the main rain belt is east to iraq and the border of iran and it's working its way down the gulf, this will have consequences and have not seen very much rain in doha so far this change of season. well wednesday might change things and the wind is bringing the dust for a moment and could converge with that little line and bring some rain for tomorrow, otherwise of course watch yemen with plenty of rain

5:43 am
situation in the northeast of the country is much worse than beijing which is pretty bad today as you can see. there air pollution levels have been breaking all records, in the industrial city of shang-yang air quality index was 400 and anything above 2 00's considered to be very unhealthy indeed and gives you a clear indication of just how hazardous the air is in some parts of china and the reasons is china is continuing a love affair with the car and the continued dependency on coal and accounts for 60% of the energy consumption and complicating things ahead of the paris talks is the fact that new data released during the past few days shows that china has been burning 17% more coal each year than previously disclosed. the reason that matters is this, china has given a public
5:44 am
declaration that would hold the growth in its carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and scientists now believe it's going to struggle to meet that target. at the talks in paris though china will want to talk about some of the progress it has made in fighting pollution particularly the billions it sent on solar and hydropower technology. the world's largest companies are being accused of tax evasion, a new report by charities and advocacy say they are cheated of revenue and could tackle quality and poverty and says they are routinely shifting profits off shore to avoid tax and in 2012 u.s. multi nationals alone moved up to 700 billion to countries where they were not taxed or taxed at a low rate and g 20 countries have been worst effected and u.s., germany and australia among the biggest losers we will talk to one of
5:45 am
the authors of the report and alex is the director of research of tax justice network and is live from oxford from the uk and tell us about the impact of this tax evasion and why does it matter? >> well, it matters because it's taking revenues from some of the poorest countries in the world as well as some of the major economies. what we are seeing in this research is that a scale of profit shifting by multi nationals that exceeds anything anyone had realized and almost 30% of their profits being shifted into jurisdictions like the.netter lands, ireland, luxonburg and paying tax rates of 0 or 1% and taking away from the revenues of public health spending, education spending in countries all around the world, almost every country we find is a loser, only a handful of jurisdiction are winning and winning in a way that is really cheating everybody else.
5:46 am
>> you talk about netherlands and luxonberg and netherlands and if they are not taxing or the taxes are really low why do they want the company's profits there? >> that's a good question and your first thought is exactly we could just solve this problem and wouldn't even cost them very much and that is certainly something we should do. to be fair they don't only make a small amount of tax revenues and also supports a financial services industry in these relatively smaller economies and haveome greater benefits than the very small tax payments but really the big winners are the multi nationals, the difference of what they should be paying in the locations where they are at economic activity takes place and in the likes of the netherlands and luxonburg and it's great and untaxed profit. >> why countries like the g 20 countries not doing something about this and pledged to tackle tax evasion and why hasn't it happened?
5:47 am
>> that is a great point, over two years we had oecd running the profit shifting and the bets process and that made some small progress but really we have seen countries including countries like the uk fighting for the shift in profits rather than taking a part in the process and that is under mining, how successful it has been. the one thing we really need to see and we have data here it's not enough data and it's u.s. multi nationals and need to see public country by country reporting from every multi national to see the full scale of this problem and start to drive progress, that is one thing the oecd was supposed to deliver and failed to and we need that to hold tax authorities to account and multi national companies. >> good to talk to you and thank you for joining us live from oxford there. still to come on the program the
