and it's again because of the international olympic committee, just a few weeks back, i had the good fortune of debating. mano a mano with the longest serving member of the international olympic committee, a gentleman by the name of richard pound, and this very idea came up. it is circulating out there, and mr. pound just blew it off, had 0 interest in it whatsoever. the international committee believes it's spreading the gospel of olympics around the world and that locating the games in a single city would undermine that. so if you want to abolish the i o c 1st, which was kind of be original, suggested that i made, that might get you on the path to perhaps putting them in one city. but like you said, it's not even clear athens would want them after the debacle. last time. some people have suggested allows on switzerland, where the international committee is based. that might be a possibility, but still it's a long shot. it's interesting to see have rich a pound on the stream a couple of weeks ago and he was telling us how safe the olympics were going to be, particularly when we're ta

the international committee should signal that they will not risk deteriorating the afghani economy anyer. all eyes are on kabul airport, and they should be, because that's a very dire situation. but more than 99% of afghans still need to stay there and make a living and continue with many of their economic activities. that leads some interventionists to stabilize an economy that is in need of stabilization retina. -- stabilization right now. mohammed: just to put this in more perspective, these assets and funds that have been frozen, this is not the same as if the u.s. had put sanctions on the taliban-led government. right? in order to place sanctions on a taliban-led government, that would need u.s. congressional approval, correct? >> that's right. that's right. i share the concerns of the last speaker. but it is undoubtedly the case, that the united states and other powers, including the international agencies, will use this lever of financial support as perhaps the only way which they have to influence the taliban at this point. and that's why it is unlikely that they are going to o

international olympic committee says it's launched an investigation. beyond the store. they made it clear that upon my return home, i would definitely say some form of punishment, and that if i refused and ran in the 200 mates race, i would be fired and kicked out of the national team. there were also thinly disguised hints that more would await to me. the key phrase is when they said that the decision to return home was not taken by us. it was taken by other people and we were ordered to follow through. at the moment, i just want to safely get to europe. i would really like to continue my sporting career because i'm only 24 and i had plans to participate and at least 2 more olympic games miss, your new has ordered its border guards to turn away migrants trying to enter the country from deliveries using force. if necessary, more than $4000.00 migrants crossed from valerie central, if you any of this year. most of them from iraq. if you're in your says it's retaliation by bell. russian president, alexander lucas shanker, for the increased european union sanctions after d
