washington. a response to youtube. the broadcaster al jazeera has somehow obtained recordings or communications of me making statements concerning a number of athletes and that al jazeera plans to array program about them. in the record -- any were made without my knowledge or consent. it is my belief that an individual named liam collins secretly made those recordings. liam is a fraudster banned in the united kingdom. the statements on any recordings or communications that al jazeera plans to air are absolutely false and incorrect. to be clear: i am recanting any such statements and there is no truth to any statement of mine thattays plans to air. under no circumstances should any of those statements, recordings o, or communications be aired. >> al jazeera deborah davis joins us from our washington bureau. what's the response to the stories so far?

over precisely what period? how much money was spent on it? growth hormone is severely restricted in america. there are only three very, very serious medical conditions for which it can be prescribed legally. without in any way wanting to intrude on ashley manning's very personal medical history, it would be good to have confirmation that she does not suffer from one of these conditions. the ball lies with the sporting authorities. what are they going to do about yet another doping scandal in american sport. >> thank you very much for joining us. payton manning says the allegation i would do something like that is complete garbage and is totally made up. it never happened.

never. you had the first time at 20 gmt. iraqi forces say they have taken control of a government complex in ramadi. they are trying to re-statake t city which they lost in may. they say there are no isil fighters left. ramadi is important because of the proximity of baldad and access to roads in iraq's west. talk us through this compound sand why it's important to take over? >> the compound there are at

least three major buildings including the anbar police headquarters, the proof incial building and this area. according to the elite forces, tech taken control of this area. these buildings are not completely under the control of the iraqi forces. yet, they are meticulously trying to go through room by room, floor by floor, each building and clear it before they declare complete victory. >> tell us about the tactics involved and airstrikes and so on. what is different this time that they can make progress? >> the offensive that's being carried out in ramadi has continued for months now. on tuesday, we saw iraqi forces coom into full force and launch this strategic city of ramadi close to baghdad and considered

a vital link for isil supplies up north and into the western parts of iraq. in this offensive, what we have seen is that the iraqi forces have tried to push isil from multiple fronts up in the north and southwest. from what we are hearing, iraqi security forces are telling us tell they are close to an area to try and move the words that particular area, ground forces go in and if they are facing stiff resistance and if they thing they need air support, they call for help. this help is coming from the coalition forces as well as the iraqi air force helicopters? >> thank you very much indeed. you are askedish forces media is quoting police in kirkuk who say u.s. commandos were involved in the operation. the u.s. has denied it. several isil fighters have been

killed and others captured. it comes two months after u.s. and kurdtie command owes conducted a joint operation freeing 70 isil captives. for more on the battle against isil in iraqi, i am joined by middle east analyst gulf news. thank you for being with us. how do you characterize the progress? >> this is tremendous progress obviously because for the first time, the iraqi government has eliminated a imagine challenge so close to baghdad. the fact ramadi is coming understand control of the government is actually good news for baghdad because it can protect itself but it's not enough. it has to move forward. did has to push to mossel and lim great mossel. this is a major victory for the

government and a serious defeat for isil. >> the tasks has been complicated by isil leaving booby traps and uncontrol center exploded ordinance or improve vised devices and suicide bombers. how difficult will it be to make sure they have everything clear in taking ramadi completely? >> in an urban warfare situation, what you have is door to door fighting. obviously, the isil fighters, i don't know how many there were, but we estimate there might have been up to 500 individuals probably boop background trapped a lot of the buildingstion a lot of the facilities that the government will have to deton ate one at a time. obviously, this is urban warfare, lucky. ramadi is destroyed but this is what happens in this kind of en vinement. nobody should be surprised that the government has a very tough task ahead of it. but as i say, this is just part

of the game that is being played right now. isil has lost significant territory the past several months. now, they have lost ramadi, a serious defeat for them, but it's not going to happen. i don't think much is going to happen until mosul falls. once government of baghdad gets control of mosul, i think we can start talking about the beginning of the ends. not before that. is there a danger isil fighters will crom up somewhere else? >> no question about that. i don't think they are running out of fighters at this point. they have quite a few recruits that are coming up. they can redeploy. i am amazed to see the convoys of isil, trucks carrying these fighters from point to point. i am always mesmerized by the

logistics involved this is a remott area where you don't have the central authority of government of iraq. therefore, isil has the freedom to move about and they can take some of these fighters from ramadi to someplace else. but according to government sources, isil has lost several hundred perhaps fighters in ramadi and they have been bombarded, of course, in other cities because of the coalition fig fightings, the russians participating. therefore, isil is paying a heavy price for its kind of adventurism trying to create the caliphate. the good news today is that isil has really was defeated. this is something it that goes to the credit of iraq. thank you very much indeed for joining us.

looking for more logistics to be able to take their families abu isil and nusra fronts will have to cross some areas under the control of rebel groups. they were quite clear yesterday with a new leader that they are going to intensify their military campaigns as revenge against the death of their prominent leader. this whole debate about the deal between the government and isil comes against a backdrop of the renewed push to put and end to the crisis. the syrian opposition says it is going to go to geneva to talk with government about a way out. they say there are two conditions that have to be met. first, a cease-fire with the government with the russians should be committed to stop using barely bombs, missiles against civilians. no. 2 a political way out.

contaminated, they come with risks and in receipt years, studies have confirmed what hospitals like inglewood have experienced firsthand. less blood often leads to better outcomes for patients. >> some patients, that risk is worth taking because the good the blood might do for them may outweigh that risk but estimates are we probably get between 40 and isn't% of transfusions in this country for no good reason. >> while kimberly says she would risk death rather than accept another person's blood, she is happy that science is finding alternative therapies to give her the chance to live without compromising her beliefs. kristin saloomey, al jazeera, inglewood, in general. >> in the u.k., scientists are doling procedures that could be used to perform surgery on unborn babies, correctioning defects at an early stage of pregnancy a joint collaboration between university college london and belgium. both hoping work will make
