only going to run for the sports news here thank you very much usa gymnastics may be stripped of its role as the national governing body for the sport the u.s. olympic committee has taken steps to revoke it status after a botched its own attempts at rebuilding following the sex abuse scandal involving team doctor laurie nasa the organization has been in turmoil ever since hundreds of female gymnasts including olympic champions allie raisman mckayla maroney gabby douglas as well as simone biles came forwards to accused of sexual abuse over the past two years three c.e.o.'s have been forced out of usa gymnastics being criticized for the way they've handled the situation in an open letter address

gymnasts the u.s. olympic committee said you deserve better we believe the challenges facing the organization as simply more than it is capable of overcoming in its current form let's take a look at how usa gymnastics got to this point earlier this year former team doctor larry nassau was in prison for up to one hundred seventy five years after admitting to sexually abusing ten young athletes in his care he's been accused of abusing hundreds of others throughout the trial usa gymnastics were criticized for ignoring those who complained about nasa's abuse former chief executive steve penney has since been arrested and charged for tampering with evidence during the investigation into nasa and since then the organization has had two other chief executives one of whom lost in just four days but the u.s. olympic committee has also come under criticism for failing to protect gymnasts in its care and is currently seeking to rivet self as a defendant from

a number of lawsuits including those followed by gold medalists mckayla maroney jordan and allie raisman. now to the race that stops and the nation and there was a historic result in the melbourne cup with the first ever british trained wina in fact there was a british one two three finish at flemington racecourse in the five million dollars handicap it was the nine to one shot across the counter trained by charlie appleby and ridden by karen mcavoy in the blue colors here who came out of nowhere at the finish to end by length ahead of mom mellowed with a prince of our and in third mcavoy is now in the race three times and it's also the first melbourne cup victory for the godolphin stable off to twenty years trying but it was some sad news that the age no brian trained cliff samoa was put down of to break his shoulder early on the two mile course. before the running off the field and i thought may just happening again. and. telecom this lucky recipient can

write a lot and go on the cover story which is prepared to believe we will watch it all going to show us what we are and. what they've got we've got. racing journalism brokaw cerebrum bell was in melbourne and predicts more international winners of the race in years to come. cross county runs off a remarkable year for charlie applebee that she's eleven group one but more importantly earlier this year won the epsom dobby and that was followed up by winning the biggest race here in australia. with the mostest masterful training performance when you consider a couple of weeks ago this was a bit of a setback and may have been doctored by the spot dissipates i think the international writers are working out what is needed to win this race and bearing in mind that last year we had an irish winter enjoys its abroad winning with rekindling so i think it could be more the norm now rather than just a bit of a rarity when you consider and i think the australians except perhaps locally local

trying to strangle us is just aren't as good as the international right is and the quality of the race given the level of prize money has also improved significantly and that's why i think we'll see more and more international forces trying to get into the race but perhaps winning the race. well earlier this year the denver nuggets fell short of the n.b.a. playoffs on the final day of the regular season now they've turned things around in fact they've made their best start to a season in franchise history jamal murray had forty eight points to lead the nuggets to a one hundred fifteen one hundred seven win over the boston celtics on monday at nine to one the nuggets are off to the best start says nine hundred seventy six. the toronto raptors atop of the eastern conference after their fourth straight when carl lowery racked up seventeen points in their dominant victory over the utah jazz . on false cable is the second most popular sport in the united kingdom for

teenagers in disadvantaged areas but it's one of the worst funded the nation chair of the national champions all from leicester and they want to know why there isn't more help for their sports and their community they welling's reports. leicester is a city where sport has been a source of great pride as well as. through cricket a most famously through its football club but the second most popular team sport amongst teenagers in leicester and across the u.k. is basketball. team hundreds of thousands of children played every week over half of them from the minorities suffers from a lack of funding because the focus is on chasing medals for community the steroid is the champions of england if you're looking to win medals pounds spend per medal basketball is going to be well down on the list i think it's wrong but u.k. sport of been on about their job is to generate medals so go find the sport that

will produce the medal for the lowest investment this is european much night against italian team dana most a sollie. leicester hopeful not expectant of causing an upset. possible gets no money from u.k. sport certainly. we keep finding parts for no investment that combine our success so sufficient cycle. people's plight did come into focus during the winter when lympics in february when it emerged millions have been spent some obscure sports u.k. sport responded to the wife of criticism with a special possible funding but it's well under a million dollars a small fraction of what's given to sports that the liver a limb pick medals u.k. sport told our jazeera we have to prioritize in order to deliver as much success as possible over on the performing a not delivering the wada says show economic impacts that come from the inspiration delivered from medal success we've recognized the popularity of basketball and the

incredible impact it's had in communities and applaud the work done by all those involved what doesn't help basketball is cause is that the domestic leagues. have not been shy when you come free to air television for decades and yet look at the crowd in leicester diverse people from all age groups many children we have a accessible here the club i like most of the clubs in the b.b.l. you know the kids can meet afterwards also graphs and all the kind of stuff so they can give a closer to the favorite players and watching to see if the watch feel like i could be a lot more heat than tell me that one is a semi in the states boys may dissipate out of the italian team when this guy but twelve points and what was the first appearance by an english team in european basketball for a decade and let's divide this will continue there important work in the community there and i medals involved but does that make it less important than success in the olympics they welling's al-jazeera less to. heavyweight boxing champion a wild says he's feeling great with less than
