iman khalif, algerian champion.i have such a daughter, i am very proud, she is a champion and i hope that she will win a medal in paris, this is our official family document may 2, 1999 year, imankhalifa is a woman, it is written here, you can read, this document does not lie, it was registered in 1999. i can't win, he's a man. khalif is not the only taiwanese boxer line to participate in the olympic games, but just like the algerian athlete, she was recognized by the international boxing union as a biological male. in that statement it was written that both athletes did not meet the necessary criteria and therefore they had an advantage over other athletes. iman khalif is guaranteed to leave paris with a medal, but how much more hatred will she have to endure, because the games will not end soon. olympic officials. are concerned about the hatred towards the algerian boxer, the reason was the fact that she participates in the women's division, the very person because of whom the algerian athlete is hated is oumar kr

the decision to allow boxers imani khalife of algeria and lin yu ting of taiwan to participate in theas been heavily scrutinised after they both failed a gender eligibility test given by the international boxing association last year. there was widespread outrage when italian boxer angela carini abandoned her match with khalife after 46 seconds, saying she had to preserve her life. but the international olympic committee has strongly defended the athletes, pointing out they have always competed as women. so to discuss this controversy , i'm discuss this controversy, i'm delighted now to be joined by the director of sport at fair play for women, fiona mckinnon. welcome to the show . welcome to the show. >> thank you. fiona, i'd like you to clarify it for us. >> there has been an eligibility test which was conducted by the international boxing association. these two athletes were disqualified from the world boxing championships. is that right? >> this is what the iba have said. and they have apparently written to the ioc and told them all about it. but there's a row here between the int

i man khalife gender raw boxer eamonn khalife gender raw boxer eamonn khalife won gold in the women'she centre of a media storm with reports suggesting the boxer possesses male x y chromosomes. is he ? was male x y chromosomes. is he? was he fighting another man as well? was it two men in the fight? they had that. >> yeah. the same chromosome challenge. >> i shouldn't laugh so apologies are right. so as well as having the excess of testosterone , the great british testosterone, the great british debate this year, i'm asking, should the gold medal be stripped from himars and khalife? joining me, former labour adviser matthew laza and political commentator lin mei. lynn, we have to start with you on that. so there were 22x wires. yeah, i mean, i'm all right with that. i'm all right with the two of those fighting. >> but when it comes to them fighting women. no, i completely disagree. i know many people have used the argument. you know, some men are higher that like , taller than others and like, taller than others and have a stronger bone density , have a stronger bone density, whatever

khalife, hunt towards a main. khalife, who was who was the boxing yesterday? he was also known.from school. now the accusation here is twofold, really. one is that politics is far too involved in sport, which arguably it is, and that is the second point is that is evidenced by this relationship between keir starmer, who is obviously the prime minister of the uk and the spokesperson of the uk and the spokesperson of the ioc . i'm not sure it quite the ioc. i'm not sure it quite works that way and i'm not sure we have that much influence over your mates. >> no, i don't really. it seems really tenuous to me to even point it out, really. they used to be was a best man for someone. i mean, is it relevant at all? i suppose mildly, maybe at all? i suppose mildly, maybe a paragraph on it, but it doesn't suggest any kind of bias or anything, does it? well surely we judge the man on his views and what he's actually saying . yes, and sent it to work saying. yes, and sent it to work with there as well. and he's the guy who said that this is not a transgender issue. it kind of is, isn't it?

the olympics, imani khalife.ational boxing association has said they would award italian boxer angela carini the prize money she would have won if she became olympic champion. cofinne if she became olympic champion. corinne has been in the spotlight after abandoning her fight against the algerian boxer. she said she'd never been hit so hard . khalife the athlete hit so hard. khalife the athlete at the centre of a gender eligibility storm. her next fight is against a hungarian. so let's carry on this conversation. look to all intents and purposes, khalife was banned by another sporting body from taking part in the world boxing championships because she failed a gender test more male than female . well, is more male than female. well, is that too simplistic? >> it is a bit simplistic because the problem is we denote sex biological sex by a few different factors. one is chromosomes, which in this case this is the difference. yeah, it's also genitals because. >> because she had she had xy chromosomes. >> yeah. and so

i understand that khalife doesn't identify as transgender, but khalife is male and therefore should notmale. it is really, really as simple as that. is really, really as simple as that . and when you talk about, that. and when you talk about, you know, this argument needs has got a lot of heat, i agree it's got a lot of heat. let's look at the facts. facts over feelings . that's all we need to feelings. that's all we need to do is look at the evidence . do is look at the evidence. >> peter. we're looking at those those images there of, of the female boxer clearly distraught at having to back out of this race for her own, out of this, contest for her own safety. you mentioned the varying testosterone levels, but of course, there's natural variation for women within a certain limit. but somebody who's born with male chromosomes, whatever. if they're intersex, whatever their they're intersex, whatever their the expression of that is, biologically, if they have male chromosomes and have gone through male puberty, which is what the international boxing association says about this fighter, th

algeria's iman khalif failed the gender test, but the international olympic committee cleared khalifrnament. writer john rowling has already called it a disgrace, and italian prime minister george miloni was outraged by the participation of such athletes in women's competitions. hundred among the kul residents about how he could allow men to beat women. 46 seconds that shocked the world of women's boxing. italian angela carini finishes the 1/8 finals of the olympic tournament in in tears, kneeling in the center of the ring, screaming in pain and resentment. two crushing blows to the face and refusal to continue the fight. contrary to tradition, karinya refuses to shake hands with her rival, but... is it a rival? algeria's iman khililif was disqualified from the world championships last year. gender tests showed he was a man. taiwan's lin yuiting failed the test, but she is also competing among women in paris. two genetic tests, the second was completely deep, showed 100% that these are men, so there is no such doubt. we have sent documents to the international olympic committee more

helen, let me just ask you, where would you have athletes like khalife compete then?an, this obviously isn't her fault. this is if you say this is a condition , perhaps this is a condition, perhaps that she has been born with, where would you have her compete ? where would you have her compete? because it's not just her, is it? there's lin yu ting for taiwan. she's going to compete today. where would you have them go? where is fair to put them? because it would be unsafe for them, wouldn't it, to compete against biological males, because then they wouldn't be as strong as them ? strong as them? >> no, not at all. not necessarily. it depends on the condition, the condition, for example, that caster semenya has. and we know that from the outcome from the court for arbitration and sport is one called five ard. only male people can have this and you develop fully, you know, you go through full male puberty. you're as strong and as fast as any other male . and what you any other male. and what you need to do is to have a female category and an open category. for most sport

and i think rowling did refer to khalife as male. yes.at rowling has done that. and i kind of think, oh, well, if that's the case, then would a lawsuit bring out the actual test results? >> because surely all of this could be put to bed overnight. if khalife just said, here are my results, this is what i am. why not? >> well, i don't know the details of what khalife is going to say, because isn't this to do with the fact that there's been this backlash and lots of bullying? and that's the complaint? yes >> but surely in a lawsuit where where khalife is alleging that they caused lots of bullying when all they were doing was stating that this individual is male , then you would have to male, then you would have to first disprove the suggestion that that correct of the gender slightly unusual case, because i think we all feel for khalife because khalife was raised as female, they didn't know about this until they got older. >> so it's a bit different from the sort of typical trans stories that we've been very different from the kind of leo t

justice, according to khalif, is beating women who, by all measures, weaker than you, but according toules he could, you have the right to compete with them. her father also stood up for khilif, at least that 's how western media present him, a man named omar, he even showed iman's supposedly childhood photos, here she is supposedly on the right, and... what he allegedly showed again was her birth certificate, a photo in poor resolution, but here they say it is claimed that iman is a girl, the attacks on her are immoral, it's unfair, iman is a little girl who has loved sports since she was 6, she played football, this criticism and rumors are aimed at, to destroy iman, they don't want her to become an olympic champion, did iman want or want to be a girl, her photos from training are spreading on the internet, here with... on social networks, in addition, back in 2023 at the world boxing championships in india, kheliv failed gender testing, which revealed a male y chromosome high levels of testosterone in the body. medical results, blood test results, say that these boxers are men, we a

algeria's imani khalife and taiwanese lin yu ting, who both failed a sex test last year at the worldsociation, the international boxing association, the world boxing association, the world boxing championships, which turned out they had xy chromosomes, they were disqualified from that test. the olympics haven't had sex tests in sports for, i think, about 25 years at this stage. ryan, what do you think about that? i mean, this is a complicated issue, isn't it? this isn't i should say this isn't a transgender issue. this has got nothing to do with transgenderism, which is how it's been framed. >> yeah. and so it is complex, but i think for the olympic committee to have failed to implement sex testing for these issues months ago because they, they presumably would have known they presumably would have known they were notified last year of this issue. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so they chose to do nothing. and now they're reaping the consequences. >> it's very interesting, cressida, because janice turner wrote an article this week just sort of saying there is an easy cheek swab test which you

amani khalife, of course. spite of the fact that the gender test taken last year for the international boxing association came up as x—y likelihood. paul, is that amani khalife is male, but has a dsd different sex development condition, an intersex condition, which means that khalife didn't know about his sex until later in life. i think you should have compassion for that, right? there is compassion. >> of course there is . however, >> of course there is. however, sport is about fairness and she has an unfair advantage over a competitors through xy chromosomes. it gives her a different biology, a different muscle structure, probably a different bone structure. certainly different strength. so as a result, she has an unfair advantage. and also the taiwanese competitor. yeah. which they were both in the final weren't they. yeah. both finalists had had had previously tested for xy chromosomes . tested for xy chromosomes. >> so this is a problem. i don't think anyone's suggesting that that we don't understand tha

i mean, i didn't i knew about khalife. i didn't know about khalife. i didn't know about lie—in.icture, i was like, yeah, i know what i think. >> so you're still calling her her him then? >> whatever. well, the only reason i'm confused on that. normally, if it's a trans thing, i'm just like, i don't go for it. but when it's when i'm a bit confused is when it's not actually a trans person . it's actually a trans person. it's just a biological quirk. then i don't always know what to say, but it definitely shouldn't be in the female box. i can say that. >> i think the thing that people find most confusing, damian, and maybe you correct me on this, is that intersex is a slight misnomer, and that's not what it's called anymore. it's a developmental disorder. so the idea is that you are they are this is the idea that obviously, like you say, there is no direct evidence, but this is what the iba has said is that they have a disorder where their penis does not develop properly during the when they're in the, in the womb and yet they still have internal testes. and when they go through pu

khalife won each of the three rounds on the judges scorecards.life had been under intense scrutiny after a previous opponent quit after 46 seconds, saying it was to protect her health as the algerian punches were too strong . algerian punches were too strong. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. now it is time for headunes sanchez. now it is time for headlines for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code , or go to gbnews.com. >> forward slash alerts . >> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at saturday's newspapers with three comedians. >> i'm andrew doyle tonight i'm joined by headliners colossus leo kearse and his hired goon jonathan kogan hired goon. yeah. hired goon. >> i have spent all day gooning in my goon cave, but i wouldn't say i'm more of a sort of work experience. >> part time goon. part time goon. >> i should have been more specific. how are you, leo.7 >> i'm good. i don't even k

how can you forget this, after abandoning her fight against controversial algerian boxer iman khalifetre of a gender eligibility storm. now, this story has been rumbling on. it was. it was an astonishing 45 seconds of boxing. and i've done boxing training, to watch. i wasn't quite sure, what to make of it, but the gender role that has developed from this over whether, a man and a fellow taiwanese athlete are eligible to fight as they fouled a section under another boxing authority. but the ioc have different rules. so they're allowed to fight as females, i'm going to come to you first on this one. emma woolf. i mean, we should be talking about the glory of the medals and the, you know, and how wonderful to see people win. we're not this is overshadowing the whole olympics now, this gender row about biological men , they have x y biological men, they have x y chromosomes, fighting biological women. what do you make? >> well, i'm going to stay away from you. i hadn't realised you were quite a while ago . fearsome were quite a while ago. fearsome in the boxing ring. >> i have been smacke

or how khalife feels about identities.les. the boxing federations have been unanimously clear on this because of safety risks , but the because of safety risks, but the ioc are trying to tell us that that doesn't matter, that males can actually be in a boxing ring against females as long as they're legal. documents say that they're female, and that's creating a big problem. now, when we think about safety for athletes, >> okay, well, let's bring in robin, moira white in all of this because it is such a difficult one. there are those people that say she shouldn't be questioned in this way. it's all so crude. what's your position in it ? in it? >> well, i mean, obviously you're right about that. having a debate about an individual on, you know, feeding them into the meat grinder of social media and the media generally is not the right way to deal with matters like this, we actually , to be like this, we actually, to be fair, emma, i'm not sure we really know what? imane khelif circumstances are, and that people think they kn

and there's a there's khalife. who, who?orn a woman we understand was raised as a woman. but it's just a question of whether she is a biological male. nobody can really answer that question. it's based on the international boxing association who say that she has the xy chromosome, which is male, which would give her an advantage. the ioc don't agree with that. there was a test made when she was thrown out of the world championships last year , world championships last year, but nobody can really verify that. that's what it all hinges on. so it's all a bit of hearsay at the moment. and i think people are basing their assumptions on the fact that, you know, she's allegedly failed this test and also that she looks like a male . that's, looks like a male. that's, that's that's where we're at at the moment. but if you dive a bit deeper, she has been fighting for a while and she has lost nine times to women boxers. so you know, people are saying those who are defending her, him, her are saying that, you know, well, where were you

truth is, imam hussein's martterdom was a result of his refusal to pay allegiance to the tyrant. khalif yazid a stance that to this day inspires muslims to reject tyrany across the world uh from imam hussein i learned to always stand against oppression, no matter who is against you, whether it be your friend, whether it be someone else, you should always stand against it, because if you fall into that path and the teachings of for nothing, so not only does he teach us uh love, but he also teaches us that in the time of tarony you have to stand up because it's better to stand up and and die on your feet than to... living you need as a slave. the continued threats to muslims across the world, including in the uk, has had a counterproductive impact and has inspired thousands more to come to the streets to renew their religions to imam hussein. ease akademy, press tv, london. in cities and towns across pakistan, the streets were filled with morners who paid tribute to the unparalleled sacrifice of imam hussain, the third shiha imam and grandson of prophet muhammad, peace be upon him. thousa

not like boxing, not like boxers iman khalif and lin yuting, who beat up girls, and are themselves biological men, the international boxing federation insists on this, both are striving for olympic medals and, as a result, good prize money. we see that according to the rule of an incorrectly acquired advantage, these people are aiming to be medalists and champions, and this is even more the key word, if you take those who compete with them, it's offensive, well and ... there is another opinion, what is the difference between the hills runner and boxers of indeterminate gender. they all chose girls as their opponents. i wonder why? is it because niki hills' personal best at a distance of 1,500 m is 3 minutes 55 seconds, and the worst of the men's results at the same one and a half kilometers is 3.40. it is a fact, biological men run faster than women. even in the 100-meter dash, the stronger sex brings the weaker almost a second. on the floor. the difference between the world records for women and men is 23 seconds. of course, the same is true for boxing, where the so-called khaliv and yuatin

at the games, never prevailed in the women's boxing tournament, transgenders from taiwan and iman khalifrom algeria. still rose for gold medals, but at the same time in paris there was also good, without any doubt, fifty -one-year-old yusuf dikkeci from turkey proved to everyone that you can take silver without special equipment, the main thing is to work, now, by the way, he is a hero of popular reels in social networks. egyptian fencer nada hafes, although she did not win in the end, fought in the tournament in the seventh month of pregnancy. the pool employee took out the swimming cap of the participant. from the bottom, although he was clearly inferior in physical fitness to any athlete. athletes set records, ended their professional careers, dedicated victories to their loved ones, and thanks to such cases, faith in true olympism still lives, who knows, maybe at the next start of the four-year period, the motto of pierre da coubertin will be fulfilled. at the games in paris, many were established olympic records of unique achievements, we will not go far here, ours. letvinovich beca
