year. the president of the rational and committee has defiantly said, news to stop some of its athletes competing and tokyo, following a state sponsor and doping scandal haven't had any impact on the team's performance . russian athletes have so far, $160.00 metals in tokyo to more than in rio mean experience. the flags, the majority of experts agree on one thing. and the head of state talked about that the decision by the court of arbitration for support was not any sort of problem for athletes from the perspective of supporting results. and we've all seen this with our own eyes. our target was to perform better than unreal. middle total obviously shows now that the target has been hurt. let's take a look at the metal table now. china is on top with 30 a gold. the us has a big lead when it comes to the most metals overall. ultra pan, remain in 3rd with 27 goals and performances by the russian olympic committee have them in 4th. that when they tell, he'll games finish on sunday,

japan will pass the olympic flag to france. organize for the pair is 2024 games a promise to more cost effective olympics and are more accessible to the public. and richardson reports from tokyo. the tokyo games are still to finish, but already paris, who stepping up its preparations to welcome the world in 2024. the olympics will soon be back in the city. the 3rd time simone says, do the whites is our campaign to win the games began, the moment received olympic flag has been in our heads. and in our hearts that would mean that after a weight of 100 years, the games are returning to paris. paris 2024 compared to paris. 1924 will be on a very different sporting and financial scale. tokyo's budget has just set an unwanted new record. the price tag to the total gains has officially topped $15000000000.00 and is expected to go even higher than already the most expensive

some games ever staged. and more than half the bill is being picked up by the japanese taxpayer olympic critic, se tokyo was onto a loser even before the extra costs of holding the gangs during a panoramic. and without the presence of spectators were taken into accounts. we can not get down our profit and maybe just, we know to hold olympic games makes it on the so the basis for the new infrastructure was for new national stadium or it's really good. but it's a big problem it's. it's putting nothing for the people, games in the very heart of the city. the french capital is aiming to start a new era of cost effective olympics with most events being held at preexisting venue organizes claim private money will account the 97 percent of the budget. the head of the parish organizing scene told me any new facilities a designed to have

a lasting impact. we have in sun sunday near territory, which is very young, but very poor. so, and we will build quite a lot of facilities that will offer you put unity for people to do sports after the games we build also houses for this territory because there is a big need and 10 for houses. so the legacy will be when they get the useful for the population. harris games are hoping to prove it is possible to light the olympic flame without burning a hole in the public's pockets. and he, richardson, al jazeera tokyo. ok, and that is all you for now back to you. kim. thank you very much for that far. finally, him, venezuela. the us dollar is the currency of choice for those who can get it. the local money has been made effectively water supply, hyperinflation. now the government's come out for the plan to try and fix it. has our latin america editor, lucy, and human. just like you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't calculate the value of in israel as currency by the number of zeros that

are added or subtracted as of october. first, this 100 boulevard of note will be the highest denomination equivalent to today's 1 . 100000000 boulevard note. that means 6 zeros will be removed from a currency that has been sold to valued by hyperinflation. but it's become practically worthless. comments. i thought this is only for the bus we don't want to come up. all of us now are only useful for public transport or nothing else. everything else is paid with us dollars. when his, when his currency costs much more to make than what it's worth, inflation in the 1st 4 months of this year was nearly 300 percent. and last year it was 3000 percent. that's why the country's defacto currency has become the us dollar. but millions of venezuelans don't have access to it by slashing 6 zeros offered currency. the government hopes to reinstate the widespread use of its own

coin, initial frame, but also it has certain advantages. but these advantages don't generate benefits from a strictly economic point of view. that would require a series of measures to control inflation, to avoid more rican versions of the currency. the socialist government flashed 3 zeros from its currency in 2008 and 5 zero's 2018. so deal he'll kill is not optimistic that 6 will do the trick. when i look at it, this is going to become what it's already become. as all the counties here have become, they have all become worth. the saw. that is, willa has been experiencing its worst. he could crisis in history, reducing bills to single double or triple digit denominations, rather than millions will certainly make prices easier to calculate. but unfortunately, it won't make the embattled believer more valuable. see and human al jazeera and don't forget,
