ade adedoyin reports from doha.ot that she showed it. storming to victory here in doha. my word. is there any end to her talent? she is just running away. dominant, determined and defiant. that was the easiest race i've ever run in my life. for me, negativity is nothing. so, as long as it doesn't kill me, it makes me stronger, like i said. so i'm here to perform, i'm here to show people of the world that anything is possible if you believe. caster semenya continues to demonstrate qualities that made her a champion. a real show of strength and courage to come here to doha and perform like this after everything that has happened this week. and with the eyes of the world watching. when semenya is at her best, there's only one winner. but defeating her legal battle against the iaaf this week, means that if she is to defend her world title in doha in september, she will have to start taking medication to lower her testosterone levels next week, which may affect her performance. people were wondering, have been asking me,

doha is significant. what happens next, even more so. dipping champion lost a landmark case against athletics governing body, meaning it will be allowed to restrict testosterone levels in female runners. now she, and other athletes with differences of sexual develop is, must either ta ke of sexual develop is, must either take medication or change to another distance. such as commission is a proportionate means of achieving the objective of preserving the integrity of female athletics. in response, semenya said she knew... as usually complex, controversial issue, at least for most watching on. i think it's pretty straightforward, injurious report for any international federation in sport. athletics has two classifications. it has age, it has gender. we are fiercely protective of both and i'm really grateful that the court of arbitration has upheld that principle. semenya is, of course comes to at this diamond league meeting in doha and can still make an appeal about the ruling. at cryptic messages on social media yesterday made her future

after doha, no doha, there were some afghans that was better not to -- said perhaps it is best to get them out of the regional rivalries. is that a option or do they have to stay in qatar? president donnie said is -- president ghani said i want to have a negotiating team. as you saw all the old warlords of the past are wanting to be on the negotiating team. does that mean there is no space for the young, educated afghans or women who can help to move the country forward? it is the other war between the afghans of the past and the afghan of the future that seems to be creating problems and try to talk to the taliban. >> on the first question, to be perfectly honest, i think people get spun around the axle of doha somewhere else. the people who the u.s. and afghans need to speak to, the taliban came they need to use it to our the same people whether they are sitting in the hot or -- doha or bonn. they have tried to do it in moscow. if they goes to -- it goes to bonn, that is fine. to suggest that they are eight governing force overstates the role. i would bracket that question. i would

government and the taliban have been meeting in doha. has been following the latest developments. there are still two major issues that the taliban and the americans haven't been able to agree upon in these talks namely how the taliban would be referred to in any final peace treaty that would be signed the movements want to be referred to as the islamic emirates of afghanistan obviously that's something the americans and also some afghan parties do not agree upon also the taliban are insistent on a swift their withdrawal of american forces whereas the us are talking of something up to maybe two to three years however having said that there are some positive messages that have been coming out that the sides have been able to reach an agreement or almost reached an agreement on namely for example the americans coming through and ensuring that there will be support from the international community financial support to an afghan government for at least five years after a cease fire agreement or a peace treaty is signed the qataris have committed to hosting a wider meeting that's with

welcome to doha.ional stadium where tomorrow night at the diamond league will take place and you wonder if it could be the last time that we will see at caster semenya compete at the 800 metres elite level. those iaaf rules don't come into place until next week. however, there are doubts over what she's going to do after those messages that she posted on social media today. one of them was in her native tongue and it said that i'm finished, and the other said knowing when to walk away as wisdom, and walking away with your head held high is dignity. so, you have to wonder whether it might be oui’ have to wonder whether it might be our final have to wonder whether it might be ourfinal race for caster have to wonder whether it might be our final race for caster semenya. she has dominated the 800 metres for the last decade but with this new ruling, if you want to defend her world title in doha, she will have to ta ke world title in doha, she will have to take medication to lower her testosterone levels. s
