between the two countries. leaders of the international olympic committee have held an emergency meeting to discuss possible sanctions against russia after the world anti-doping agency reported state-sponsored doping by the country's athletes. the ioc officials say they will decide later this month whether russia should be banned from the rio de janeiro olympics. members of the ioc executive board held the teleconference on tuesday. they said in a statement they have established a disciplinary commission to speed up the procedures to hold those responsible for involvement in systematic doping. the ioc leaders also say they will explore legal options with regard to a collective ban of all russian athletes from the rio games versus the right to individual justice. they say they will carefully evaluate the report and will consider a decision by the court of arbitration for sports on july 21st. the court will decide on the participation of russia's track and field athletes in international events. the ioc did not hesitate to take other measures including

disciplinary action against russian officials mentioned in the latest report. they've ordered the immediate retesting of all russian athletes, their coaches and support staff who participated in the 2014 winter olympic games in sochi. they also say the ioc will not organize or support any sports event or meeting in russia. they're asking all international winter sports federations to freeze their preparations for world championships and other major events in the country. nhk world's takafumi terui has the details on how the issue played out. >> reporter: the report's author details his scathing findings at a news conference. his team found cover-ups during sporting events, including russia's 2014 sochi olympics. they were done by high-level officials from the country's various sports agencies. >> ministry of sport, rusada the doping agency in russia,

anti-doping agency in russia, and the csp were all involved in this operation. >> reporter: on top of those organizations, the report also implicates russia's security service. it says it developed a way to swap out positive urine samples with clean ones that had been collected in advance. the findings confirm allegations made by a whistleblower, the former head of moscow's anti-doping laboratory. russia's track and field team has already been banned from the upcoming rio olympics because of the systematic doping scandal. but monday's report shows even more athletes from a broad range of sports were involved in the system of doping and cover-ups. it says starting in 2011, a moscow laboratory notified the deputy ministry of sports of every positive finding. he then decided whose results

would be covered up or, in the report's language, saved and who would be quarantined or sent through the regular process. this graph from the report shows that more than half of the cases the investigative team looked at were covered up. many believe it includes medal winners or promising athletes. the world's anti-doping body called the report truly shocking. in a statement wada says russia should be banned from the rio olympics, paralympics, and other international events. russia's president reacted sharply. in a statement, vladimir putin called it dangerous political interference in sports. he says individual athletes should take responsibility for their own actions. but he also says that russian officials named in the report will be temporarily suspended. with the rio olympics just weeks away, the findings do nothing to

boost people's faith in the games or international sport as a whole. the investigative team will continue its work. it says because of a limited timeline, monday's report only skimmed the surface. takafumi terui, nhk world. global markets have stabilized after some turmoil following the brexit vote. >> reporter: brexit is giving significant down i'd risk and they predict more uncertainty. the analysts have reviewed their

insurance products in 2016. cambodia is a southeast asian country with steady economic growth and a young population. life insurance products weren't even available there until four years ago. japanese life insurance companies have been looking overskaes because demand is unlikely with japan's declining population. life insurance 90% of eyeglass frames are even outside of japan, forcing them to innovate. and as this next report shows, some are launching their own brands. >> the famous producer of frames for eyeglasses, in may its hosted it's first city fair in

>> translator: i think the ups and downs since i was a child, of course we don't mind making frames on contract. but we wanted to create something closer to our heart. something we can call our own. >> reporter: the firm aggressively expanded sales channels by visiting retailers around japan. japan also won shares by winning international prizes, now it accounts for more than 80% of the company's sales. sales volumes are modest, but profit margins are high, business is recovering. another maker focused on elderly custers. these reading glasses are just two millimeters thick when folded. they're dubbed paper glasses. they're pricey for reading glasses, starting for more than $100 a pair, their sales are growing 20% to 30% a year since

their debut four years ago. a with orders -- began making and selling products under its own name. the pat tented thin technology followed. >> translator: there were cheap reading glasses everywhere. but nobody was doing what we wanted to do and there was demand. so we made the leaf because we knew new demand for reading glasses would grow. >> reporter: a small army of eyeglass frame makers are suffering from tighter competition. for some the way out is to lose the subcontractor tag and sell under their own name. >> that's the latest in business for this hour, back to you. the philippines reform secretary -- he says china's

juan -- south china sea that he says isn't in the philippines national interest. he met with juan on the sidelines at last week's asia summit meeting. he says chesapeaina's foreign mr conducted bit pral -- tribunal addition missed the claims over almost all of the water, the philippines position urging china to comply with the decision. leaders in beijing have said they won't accept the ruling, they stick to their assertion that historical documents show china has exercised exclusive control over the waters and it's resources over the past 2,000 years. some people in china are expressing anger at the ruling and against the united states for demanding that china comply with it.

undersea mining facilities that supported industrialization. last year it was designated as a world heritage site. it can be a big challenge. this is an island that carries some of the heritage of the world. the remnants of a conveyor kbelt once used to carry out coal. paint is peeling from buildings. all of the structures are 70 to 100 years old. the town supported coal mining and coal mining supported the modernization of japan. 5,000 people lived on the island

in the 1960s, considered it's heyday. in 1962 when the mines closed, everyone left. now with world heritage foundation, people are urged to preserve the buildings. repairs began this year under the supervision of the city of nagasaki. the project is projected to take 30 years. >> translator: the island has scenic value and these buildings are deteriorated and in damaged condition. how do we maintain this value? preservation is very important. >> reporter: those problems aren't the only challenge. the island itself is in danger. nagasaki university professor is

inspecting the integrity of the dikes. the dikes surround the island. >> translator: people could easily fall off of here. >> reporter: the outside part of a broken dike on the western bank is tilting toward the sea. the island was originally smaller. because of a landfill, it was made three times as large, in order to provide space to build residential buildings and coal production facilities, dikes strengthened the exterior. these outer walls have provided protection from typhoons and high waves. almost a half century has passed since the closure of the mines and the conditions of the dikes hasn't been well understood. one span of 100 meters has six large holes. almost like a cave.

the dike above has broken into two parts and has tilted. this hole is more than 5 meters by 10 meters. earth and sand inside are flowing out. measures to preserve the dike must be taken immediately. >> translator: this is much bigger than we expected. the hole is so deep and wide, that the dike might collapse. >> reporter: unless the holes are repaired, structures are vulnerable to high waves, pushing through the detieeriorad dikes. >> translator: if we use current technology, it will be difficult but possible. the work had to start soon, without an understanding of the conditions, we can't proceed with a plan to design and begin construction. the most important thing is to find out exactly what the current conditions are.

>> reporter: money is another issue. the city is trying to raise funds through tourism and donations. the world heritage designation could bring in tourist income which in turn could help finance the repair work. a human cycle of that sort may be the only way to balance the natural cycle of decay and deterioration. >> time now for the world weather update. heavy rain continues in central china bringing more flooding across the country and we have been talking about this for quite a while now. >> yes, the rainy season has just been persistent out here, it started down here towards the south, it's gradually been lifting further and further north. and what we have been seeing in the last week alone, for example, is widespread precipitation from southwestern to northeastern areas of china and actually our leading storm system, we're going to talk

about that in a second, is pulling out around beijing, that's expected to bring more rain. you can see where the heaviest totals are stretching back toward the southwest. the pretty dramatic footage coming out in sichuan, in southwestern china, people getting swept away, actually a child being rescued in by a passer by, and rescued there, and the child is safe. but the rescue is pretty dramatic, this just shows you the power of these floods. yesterday we had video of a land slide as well, causing over a billion dollars in damage across much of this area, over 100 people have been killed in the past month alone, so this is definitely an ongoing situation. more rain in the forecast. as we look back towards the northeast, now we have this pretty potent storm system actually ramping up there around beijing, pulling off towards the north. this has a lot of upper level support, pulling off to the south. you're going to see some thunderstorms lining up around

beijing, some of the areas could see up to 240 millimeters of total precipitation. off to the east, we're looking at showers that could combine with some of that moisture and very warm temperatures today actually across much of the south, even into the korean peninsula. for the most part, moving over to tokyo, a high of 79 today. shanghai, you're just south of that rainy season front, so a high of 36, a little break from the precipitation here on your wednesday. all right, let's move into the americas, actually we're talking about some strong thunderstorms lining up here across the midwest, even in iowa, we had a report of a tornado here on your tuesday afternoon. large hail as well and a few of these locations, that's moving down towards the southeast, and really, along that line, that's where we're going to be seeing those thunderstorms throughout the rest of your tuesday, wedding into wednesday morning, i think the change to tornado

threat is going to be more so heavy rain and a possibility for hail through your overnight hours, but the heat is continuing to be the topic out here. the heat over much of the central areas of canada, extending into the deep south of the u.s. are pushing into the mid 30s, you're also going to see some thunderstorms with this as well. 34 for your high on thursday and friday, 37, 38, by friday in wichita, this is something that people know, a quick reminder if you're out here and you're not used to the heat, maybe you're traveling from somewhere else in the world. it takes just a short period of time for your car to heat up and also heat stroke is a danger in this situation. and also save activities for the coolest times of the day, the late evening or early morning. d.c., still warm, 30, out here into europe, some rather warm temperatures in central areas of the continent, 27 in berlin, 34

here on a wednesday. i'll leave you now to your extended outlook. that wraps up in edition of nhk "newsline". thank you for watching.
