imports. and bubbles on the leaves if you want to have it. well don't worry these stylish lookin bob is all new in the com port of your home. my junior welcome to did all the news africa great to have you with us gold medal winning south african run our cost is in court this week trying to face down well the lead to govern body the. rules that would force athletes like cement not to reduce the at the still strong levels that south african governments are still in its weight behind the athlete sponsoring case and launching a social media campaign on the hostile naturally superior the landmark case has

divided opinion. caster semenya name and athletic scale have polarized the world of sports in the last decade she is hyper androgenic that means her body naturally produces high levels of testosterone but the i.w.a. have want athletes like her to take drugs to lower their testosterone levels in order to compete in middle distance track events testosterone they argue gifts are many an unfair advantage the core value for the other is the empowerment of girls and women throughout the regulations that we are introducing to protect the sanctity. of fair and open competition knots really what we're here to defend symon your first game global prominence in two thousand and nine at the world championships in berlin she won gold in the eight hundred meter as cement his legal team says the signs the i.w.

has put forward to support its root changes is flawed and discriminatory that higher testosterone levels do not necessarily prove a competitive advantage some a cadet makes have also criticized the research and they question why don't he applies to middle distance track events. back home in south africa so many it is known as the golden girl media reports say that the government is investing around two million dollars into a court case so many supporters say there's more at stake than just the right to participate in a sport. women's bodies their well being the ability to. have their identity their privacy their sense of safety enduring in the will of being questioned i see many as legal team says unless reasonable scientific evidence is presented the rule be nothing more than an arbitrary decision the idea of only after names it's simply pushing for

a level playing field. my so there are more into this we're joined by someone some may not consider as clueless friend toby sutcliffe director of talk sports university of pretoria toby thanks for joining us first things fest how is the cost of doing a test as a very confident person and i think that she's approaching this in a mature manner. she's very confident because with all due respect she's done nothing wrong she's even being that is trying to blow trite and what are the strengths that she does have a lot of self-confidence that has been born about what does happen to her in the past. now she is seeking to about ten regulations or restricting testosterone levels in a woman before they come participates in the sports now how do you think she's going to argue this case well i think if you go back to the previous case in two

thousand and nine when she was originally tasted and didn't participate in two july two thousand and ten we put together a group of specialists a live one of them in fact that actually proved to the article a if the levels of testosterone were on the ten was the level of risk that was sent and there we proved digit in turkey and that was the accepted norm in in twenty tains wow all of a sudden do you go and talk it only three veins in four hundred eight hundred and fifteen hundred when in two thousand and ten believe it was proved with our medical team at ten and now they've evolved to five so you know for me this step only three events. an interesting one that i see you smile are out.

well i you know i just think that people are talking custom and i think it's totally unfair and you know what is amazing to me is no one has actually actually come out and said that custer has yet to break the eight hundred meter world record but yet they talked to her and say she's unfair advantage so what's unfair advantage of jesson broken the record yet. i mean the fact though is that because it's claimed that she has high levels of testosterone that gives a bit of an advantage over other women that do not have that don't you agree with that point not necessarily i don't believe i mean if you have a look at in other sports as well and you look at shaquille o'neal you know michael jordan are you saying that they hot advantage should have been something that stopped him from playing basketball is that fair. interesting question i guess the

other one. yeah it's a different question altogether but i mean i just believe that if you if you already proven something it's been accepted that that is the norm wow all of a sudden go back and not say we have to of it but we're only going to have it for these particular events. for me sorry i just don't buy it ok and what's what is they are it's ok so what does this all mean for see on the indeed the future of the sports one of our the outcome of the court cases. well i think it is a serious implication. you know this is the first of two cases one is the order of operations and the other one is direct with audible a if. the scary thing for me is that if this thing should go against us you can't just take people away from participating in sports. you know you taking away the rocks to live almost in the rock to earn

a living and for me that is totally unfair ok toby sutcliffe director of talk sports university of pretoria i thank you very much for your time. now kenyan fisherman on lake victoria has been struggling with an enemy of a peculiar kind this weed invasion that has kept them from reaching the deep waters of the lake as a result they are struggling to meet demand the fish shortage has forced the kenyan government to revise the ban on fish imports from china. next piled into the i wouldn't buy these fisherman are ready to set sail for a night. but once again kissimmee bay is clogged with a thick green carpets of water hyacinth blocking the fishermen from reaching the deep waters to fish. we're suffering because we're not able to get food. if we don't go fishing grid we lose a lot. to not cause
