that we are able to see so much progress with machine learning is because it is predicated on the exploitation of labor somewhere else. exploring the implications for the global south as the artificial intelligence revolution, etc. ring to where the benefits lie and with a hot light as we are betting, iron, diet, future and a technology that is fundamentally very unsustainable studio. b, b, i series on a jersey coasting. coventry becomes a 1st woman in the 1st african to lead. the international olympic committee stands on russia, but not only as well and the role of money in the games a to challenge you see faces. how will she handle the hurdles ahead? this is inside story. the

hello welcome to the show. i'm sammy say that it's an appointment that breaks a few reco. it's the 1st woman and the 1st african head up, the international olympic committee and bob boys coast. the coventry came out on top and likes it by a majority of the 97 committee members. they include royalty, political, and business figures and 11 pins past and present. but while she's won this particular race, many more challenges lie ahead. those the pallet size ation of the games russian batteries for band over the war and ukraine. but as well was allowed to compete while counting out what you and next. but it's cool, a genocide in gauze, the power of big sponsors, and how that fits in with the original olympic i deals is another issue to tackle. and then does the host of the next summer and then picks los angeles and us president donald trump's executive order preventing trends and the athletes from competing. so how important is coventry's election?

not just for the olympics, but for support worldwide. we'll talk to our guests in a few moments, but 1st, this report from victoria gates in d of the things the president of for the international olympic committee, macy's guess, be coming from it was wayne is we're sounding as it was historic, about ways close to coventry's the 1st african and the 1st woman to see one of the most powerful and prestigious roles and world schools. she secured 49 of the 97 committee members dates to claim an unexpected 1st round when to hold his back home . her appointment will lead to great to representation for the glades in south africa is the only continent to have never hosted a games to me. that'd be congratulations room for a frequent. uh and uh, i think it's a clear people go wrong. j gill town. this is elaine quotes,

virginia coventry is a double and then swimming champion isn't that way? just started a new job in jews steering the olympic body to be the was the all you see is facing . know certainly supposing challenges, but political obstacles to do what can i say? sion says it's against the police as long as ation of sport. but critics accusative double standards. russia and batteries were banned from last year, as games in paris following russia's invasion. if you crane in 2022, however is really athletes we're allowed to compete despite the wrong cause. and we have numerous conflicts and a number of them happening on my continent. and so. busy again, we need to sit down as the olympic movement and have a very serious conversation around how are we going to deal with more and more conflicts, and how are we going to protect and support athletes essentially use this hosting the next summer olympics in 2028 and coventry's jew to meet us president donald

trump. he's pushing for the games to band trends and athletes. it's going to take communication. as i just said, we're, we're going to create a task force that's going to look at the, the transgender issue and the protection of the female category. and we, once we've made the decision collectively, as the i see with the international federations, that decision will be made very clear. and we want move from that decision. sponsorship and commercialization have also shaped the lympics in recent decades. critics say the i o. c has moved too far away from the events, original values, excellence, friendship and respect. victoria gave some b, l, g 0, the inside story. the. oh, let's bring it now. i guess now joining us from london is philip baka, editor in chief of the journal overland pick history. he carried the olympic flame

at 2 games income. paula donald recada, a president of the uganda olympic committee. and did not mind boston big daddy, the founder of the own lines for new site football, palestine dot com. he focuses on the intersection, ality of sports and politics of one. welcome to all, if i could start with donald income pollo. so donald coasted coventry, speaking about her election as a sign the olympics it really global and diverse all day. yeah, i think i finally took a look at people for the go, the show. understood to be the very last discount for it and bathroom. as you said, so we feel really strongly exciting is that came up a priest yesterday. as you said, the christie conference by the way, is, i'm from a bucket something soon. i'm very happy that i will swim a double in gen caustics,

program trip to see if anything has gone through the fast the i a see because that's the but also from offered. so as the meeting the committee electric car state across the we shall invest dividends. i think this is a reflection of how far let me move back to us. come. we have the only because you have to transfer transfer testify on the previous test that some of the box which was looking at and how those every come in addition of how we kind of ensure that the only pick them up after we pick games actually reflected on the agenda. 842 agenda. how's your night though, about about savvy in paris last year. here's what the foster games, that's what down as big foss gender equal or get a product together. so we believe that this sort of confidence that the cost to go to yesterday is $49.00. is a testament to be as well, the nature of the movements and how far we have come. so we've come actually, it's our, our of law will be in town evolving nature of the movement. phillips though in

london, the i see president is elected by i o c section members, right? so maybe it would be good to take a step back and ask you to break it down for us for that whose interest do the i o . c, members, ret, present how diverse so as i or is it still what sometimes referred to as a london gentleman's club as well. that was what the inspiration for the input actual input committee was when it was established in 1894, and the 1st presidential election to public competitive or election before that it was done by appointment was in 1925. we're bound to cuba to and stood down. but one of the things is, this is not like the united nations is important to stress that not every national olympic committee in there for every country taking policy. and the olympics has a delegate and had therefore, has a say in who will lead the movement to that will only actually a 109 ios,

the members, i know the report said 97 active voting because if your you have a candidate from your country you're not permitted to take part in the vote until that candidate is eliminated. so there were quite a few from the spain, from japan and from great britain who did not participate and some faults, they didn't participate in that vote yesterday because the candidates were still active in the campaign. so it's very, very different and you only have a 109, some of these affiliated because the presidents of an international federation as a set co, we just had a world athletics. david that popped in head of international cyclic some because they represent a national olympic committee. and then what the aisles say, a place to go. natural persons who are individual members and costing coventry is now one of those. she actually started out when she 1st came on to the committee as a member for representing the athletes commission,

which is voted for by the athletes at any games. so there is a degree of democracy that but it is a little bit mystified to look through how the aisles is actually structured to so a degree of democracy, but not the united nations facile in mind. jordan, given walk, philip just highlighted for us will, the will be election of custody. coventry opened the way then for great the representation of the interest of the global south. if we can call them that in the games, are you optimistic? i hate to be significant. and naturally nothing is the person, but i have to say no, i know it has it. this isn't the united nation, and it's exciting to be the right people. and then use always for corruptions, for saw servitude, but the representative body and it's one member association, one go. so you are literally asking the world what, what do you think?

who should lead us to what you think about this particular particular issue. it's by no means a perfect organization, but the, i have a piece that are showing. we don't know a lot about some of the, the people that voted for this. and if you're going to break down here, we talked about the legal cell or look at the, you know, the 110 members that the i is the highest, you know, i think the majority of them are not from the goal. your countries, canada, united states, especially in these types of veterans. i'm going back through how important the title sponsors are to view the games. it's hard to see an avenue for the global. so to have a say, and i think is not only the goal, so it's, it's the bad, it's the actually because you don't want to go into the game and there's so much risk at setting a sponsor that you don't, you don't really make bold decisions or slightly controversial, this is,

i mean we've heard of the video that tuesday going through was a little look into the issue about her gender offers and you know, in sports administrative talk when they say, well, look into it. and that's about a couple of years ago. you know, the right other than for me to committee, they're not going to do much else than the now let's go to donald in kampala, picking up on want bottles just being outlining how far can cost to go in kind of expanding the olympics participation role for the global south, i mean, she does have a bit of a rec quarter, a reputation for being a champion for the development of sports in africa. can she take that forward in the olympics to donald i i think, i think should cause, i mean, it depends obviously you get good i, i as i understand where positive is coming from. but since i'm, i will say, i will look at this within the last half full or half empty organization that you'll see will look either takes time to, to chance about evolving. but when you look at past these manifesto,

then the whole thing that kind of struck a chord associated with this subject from him. you've done that before, we go in m o c national committee perspective. if you look into that lens of i don't see that out, which is pretty small. but roy, you look at the top probably says so it has a number of issues in this. i'll be reviewing a lot of programs looking at how they cut off taylor made agendas for specific n o c's, expanding the big scholarship program as much as talking about how it is kind of looking at the resources and how can increase the resources and how we can look at expanding the the scholarship program, so actually $74.00 inches and reaching the games. one of the things that we hope you got to the sports that goes has been is how do we enrich the games to ensure that the people, the future is taking into account. so i believe that she has her work. i taught with the entire team, but as the i will see that number of programs, which we believe will be improved detecting,

talk how some of the needs of the global science. so they retain judgments. and we look forward to seeing how these aspirational, that somebody says to adapt here, we'll give, embed it into the rock, the white line of the i, e and the with the. so these are all right, but instead of to none the beyond, scholarships and results is what about the olympic games themselves? and the question of hosting, you know, how realistic is it to expect that may be? because they can make a difference. and with some of the ideas that have been floated, that would help spread the olympic games across multiple countries. instead of being focused in one, having events in different countries withhold might help other countries which are not so wealthy to host, to partially host the olympics, to and get around the sort of burden on, on resources that hosting the games can represent sometimes. and

one of the problems with joint hosting and the great thing about the olympics and it's always been the case, is that there's something special they're not well championships. and although somebody like you said the, the olympics are like having so it's the old world championships at the same time. but the idea of having the whole world in one place on the, the olympic flag is something pretty special when it always has pain. so, but i mean, africa stands out as to why the content of that has an ad the games. but if you look at the last 2030 years of the games, increasingly that being staged by a mega cities, you know, london, capital city by using capital city. right? oh no, that capital city, but a major city, athens, sidney, now the big one, tokyo, and then of course, los angeles is the next one, i mean, off the paris. so these are huge cities, and this is such a big enterprise. now it's not just about turning out filing

a starting gun and the competition takes place. if you go to the olympics, you say all the infrastructure that has to be in place for things to happen from the athletes village to the security at the venue is making sure all the technical and training things. so this is, this is a huge undertaking. um, yes, that needs to be some help to try and the diversified. i mean, one thing that happened during rates at lee is trying to take the youth olympic games to why the countries and we've got to the, of the big games in back of incentive goal. and that is the 1st i live pick branded event to take place in that regard for a while nature. so i, you know, they're trying to do that box. you've got some, you know, the cost of staging these games goes into billions and it's, it's be all my kids were even appreciate the number of notes that it costs to actually stage and olympic games. so, you know, that will need to be help from olympic, solidarity from the what they call the war chest at the aisle say,

to have any sort of chat host from side of the african continent. to type auth and i'm be pub, is it going to be wonderful? i mean we sold that dub and was going to coast the commonwealth gaggs a couple of years ago in the ends. i had to pull out because of economic difficulties and you think south africa is one of the more prosperous nations. so that happens to them. and it gives you an idea of what the opposite because to mont, how can all of us deal with it. okay. if it's costly, we know that bustle, what about at least adding more games to the lympics taking into account more native cultures? is that something you see on the horizon with the, the rise of, of coventry? it may be, i mean if it's the generates interest interest equals equals arrival, then that means you can charge a charter tv rice. busy or sell to us and different yards. and i think we saw

a little bit about when break se made its debut last year in paris. skateboarding as well as a cat to a linux ago, maybe maybe if you and that was a sort of course to try and capture a younger audience in the future of the sports. so i think there is a way to tap into an interest and then modify that interest. you will see the game in the joint be a little bit about if there is not a lot of interest, then we see, i think really roughly was under right of being dropped on the olympics. and this is a, like i said, historically big event goes back a way to the ancient olympics. and the talk about this not, i mean as a, as a sort of at all. so i think it comes down to whether or not there's no features because interest people's people felt like once you put your finger on, the money will come to that in a minute. but if i could bring donald and i want to talk

a little bit about politics and sports 1st, what are your expectations for what custody coventry might do when it comes to the issue of, of sports and politics and what many in the global south c, as a history of selective politicization of the olympics, that ultimately serve global centers of power. that's what i mean by cross the, for the jump into that. but let's be given the time of the hosting's property to do the things that we're all looking at. sometimes really imagine the games of the future. well, what would they look like? the other piece of the future. then the rest of the thing about trying to leverage an existing facilities not having to build these grounds on the events of sports. i'm trying to see if it's spot on over. we'll find this joyful as to what people think about. but you're right sort of step. this is something which everybody's trying to look out. how can we reset the refresh? reload, i guess we'll see models. but the visual facilities,

i'm trying to use existing frustrated, why introducing new games they know all of that process of all these 400 that discuss that later. but coming to your office, a quick question about the funding successful. we believe the whole but uh basically to get out of the team, the items, the executive board and the care system will continue to place the sense of what we do. i'm trying to keep sports a political you know, kind of as much as possible. if austin sparks on politics, we have sports on the bi conjunction day from the 1920 to 2023. the i o. c has a very long history of doing exactly the opposite of what you're saying, whether it was banning some of the world war one palace from the 1920 summer olympics to the issue that we all know in 2023 over russia's war with ukraine. and i do hope you can look at this, here's why it should be cut in light of the axis for actions and the bathroom is no

glass of that range, something that some of the cases excited. so all is that we need to keep the composition going on how we can assume that sparks from fighting. so we need to ensure that supports for the exit possible is doing it from bouncing is coming through the process is that may be the cause, but we need to keep the composition brand if you names. but the new president is very fond of how gender great. all right, let me think best. so back into the discussion, despite the good hopes from donald barron kampala, is that an issue which custody will have to address of, of double standards seen by many in the global south, the russia bella roost? well, what kicked out from the well, the russian to then pick committee was suspended by the i o. c. in october 2023. yet israel allowed to continue in the, in the games,

despite allegations of genocide, these ready policy of depriving gals are of food medicine, electricity and the fact that it's lead or is wanted on uh, an arrest warrant on the over allegations of war crimes. yeah. you know, i think should be a little bit committee sort of fancies as well as this big. ready organization probably licensed itself in united nations, and we'll try and roll this as many times as possible when you know it makes for ppr. but then you do, you want to decide something that's a little bit uh, outside of the world. you are outside the opinion of the united states when then you know, you hear this uh the slide. oh, we know we want to separate politics uh from, from the store. and was it really is uh, the people in charge just wants new fairly and it wont business as usual. so they call it the sort of a rock the boat. they rather not deal with it. and i think this really does go back

to the sponsors of the companies. that spa speaking. you look at the titles boxes, they're mostly american companies, it's 2 exceptions. it's on the assets, the german insurance company, o, t c l, a bar, china, samsung from south korean. everything else is in the major american multinational corporation. so you weren't going to be differential to what is the norm in that country. and so to go guess the united states policy is not really good business because you do this and you get a call from those type of saucers of. busy of the game so you know, i don't, i just don't foresee any, by aging there and, you know, i see any sort of accusation over double standards. it's just, you know, us as a media, being a little bit annoying and, and try and trying to bring that up with the i see, but they don't really need to address. let's bring in fill it then in london cuz you're very familiar with. i like history that go ahead, go ahead then so that, oh,

yeah, well, i was thinking about him cuz he coventry was a leader in the whole thing about olympic neutrality and having no protests in the olympic village on the podium. and so for a few costs, you're buying back to 1968 and the 2 american sprint is john carlos and tommy smith, who gave the famous black power salute in mexico. now this was widely criticized at the time by the international olympic committee latest. and now is seen by everybody universally as an act of great college and get great freedom, a movie. so with that in in custody zone country and the 2003 cricket woke up when and the flower and henry alone got boats wore black on bands to protest against what they saw was the lack of democracy and the leadership of the country. and just to jump in on that idea of the fellows and russia were banned from the olympics.

athletes will not find. they created a new tool category, but they set out strict conditions the, the russian in any way, probably the ministry was ejected, wasn't it philip? uh, and that was the price of a thing as a national team that had to and i had to participate as no longer they haven't expressed support for roches invasion of you can say, well, the politics, right? the was a bit, then there was also a concession. there was a concession in favor of rock for before because i was given the status. most of the countries when the natural olympic committee is bad, were forced to compete just under the olympic flag, india, the united, alabama. so i think it was too late. and, and you know, some of those who have been not allowed to compete as compete under the olympic flag with no national identification. and yet in 9 in 2018 of young chang, you had a cast record olympic athlete from russia. and then up by using and in, in a tokyo,

in by jane the russian i live pick to make the flag which is suspiciously lying because they brought from national flag. and they didn't have the next line. so but they were allowed to use the piano concerto, but i tried called sky whenever they want a metal, you call and get more of action than that. so they had a confection there. and then of course, also the, the big thing was that they had violated the olympic truce and falls when the invasion of ukraine came. so that's why the, the sanction was then taken against the all, those, the in the battle of us a little bit committee. but they weren't allowed if they were completely due to, they weren't allowed to compete under those terms. and i think about so to your competed as athlete and debate to our new trial. that was the phrase that they used and the flag clearly from what you said, there's a, there is a lot of politics in the history of restrictions and bands. i think there's no way to get around that. donald, is this some of that?

i think that's always putting his finger on that is some of that the result of the increasing commercialization of the olympic games. you know, and by so let's talk about you, go to look at the sponsors of the sponsors, the real kings, all they have in trust. ultimately what we'll call the shots when it comes to i a c policy, how much politics they liked and what kind of stand they take on political issues. a nice big guy, you're good, right? they've got this part of the cops on the slides, but i believe also the cost on the business because what else i agree with what the possible say that there's an increasing position on somebody's special, i forget. so for example, the assignment is games are going to be the fast. if i games i believe i'm is the expert chair. so i hope i don't be accused of pos initially started, but i believe they're going to come right as the or something is game, the spastic,

actually private, please find it. is limited to 0 documents and all right, so definitely the role that some of these thought process play is critical. but i think it's important as we begin with a level of these questions, sorry. why? because the problem the room is filed in the address. the question, no, wanted to make you big gains more attractive for the athletes. we so lot of athletics building up to powers analysing as prizes as well as these this article. okay, that's basically very interesting. the base. uh some people say it goes against the historical candidates and therefore somebody got a cold, but you'd have to but you're just f one time. there's no need to call me once way since you've done that. and i'll actually try to someone who said, right? so i give you a full increased price money the, the games i haven't made the sporting propositions because the, as the talk today, and i've been to the future is increasingly asking this pressure is congregation

piece of the action. so, so i think some of the questions that we have to talk about with the sports move in, and i'm sure our new president of the team will continue having these discussions. what role are these companies, grey? how can i make sure that they don't offer shuttle the best interests of the movement of the best interest of the operatives? our re boss assets increasing demand has to be possible to want to tell you action of the games. be the big questions we have using our private to the wrong events that are coming in east sports is coming up on me quite a bit serious private money. so i think these are all, some of the big ticket items that a new president of that team to get a hold of us and remove it, cost to keep the rest of it. i believe the jury is still out where the pen by will sweep. all right, well, your right, those questions have produced an interesting debate, and you gentlemen have produced a very interesting discussion for us. so we'll find con guess. phillip bako don't

recall, right. and by submit savvy and thank you to for watching, you can see the show again, any time by visiting our website. i'll just 0, don't com, for further discussion, head of it to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash 8 inside story. you can also join the conversation on x l a handle there is that a james side story from me saw me say that and the whole team here. so now let's go by the the shake model was for translation and international understanding is inviting nominations for its 11th edition, starting january the fast and ending march the 31st 2025. for more information. please visit the awards official website at w w. w dot h t a dot q
