future. >> in sport, seven london marathon winners have suspicious blood test results as a new report throws athletics back into the doping spotlight. >> iraq's prime minister is calling for six government posts to be abolished to cut spending. al abadi's government has been given support. it must pass parliament. it could disrupt the delicate sectarian balance. the six posts are the three vice presidents and three deputy prime ministers, all of whom represent various political and sectarian blochs. al-maliki is one ires sheer vice presidents, a polarizing figure since the u.s. withdrawal in 2011. he's blamed for stoking sectarian tensions while he was prime minister. prime minister alawi has been a strong critic of al-maliki. in the just the last few hours, another prime minister allawi handled in his resignation. a political analyst joins us from london. drastic reforms here by the rack can i leader. the calendar net approved them quickly, but is everyone onboard, is parliament going to pass this? >> >> this is a great response. that is what iraqis at people now very optimistic what is going to happen after the clerics are supporting such movements. the let's say the n.g.o.'s and the civil society supporting such movements from mr. am abaddi. now the international community i think will support such movements. it will be a pressure on the political parties to defuse what is now in iraq, fighting corruption first and secondly minimizing the budget. >> he wants to base the positions on professionalism rather than sectarian lines. how might that upset iraq? it balances on this representation in parliament of the different sects. >> always with the previous 13 years, there are always a problem with professionalism, which means that taking people or on higher positions on an ethnic base, it will end with what's happening now. now, the goal is to rehabilitate these positions with professional persons, iraqi professional persons, which means that there is another diagram are going to be drawn by hadr al abadi. at 7:00 p.m. today will be another supporting of what he is doing in iraq. all this pressure, what is going to happen in two or three days,a al abadi will speak out, what are the actions according to his plan to do reform on these positions. now, what i think is that the parliament, especially the speaker, supportal ad abouti saying we are going to support you are to do the reforms. that means there will be another pressure on the parliament, on the m.p.'s that they will go forward to accept these reforms. the resignation is a very good step from him, that's because it means that the prime minister will ask for that because it will reform the political process and iraq will be on a real railway. >> very interesting times indeed for iraq. thank you very much. >> you're most welcome. >> pro government forces in yemen have taken the city of zinzibar from houthi rebels. former president hadi launched their offensive on the capital of the southern province. pro hadi forces retook the city of aden last month. many people have moved to the southern province from other parts of yemen to escape the violence, but even for people who find safety, a lock of running water and basic services means it's as i will a struggle to survive. we have this report. >> people living in this town travel long distances to get water. there's a limited supply from water tankers, but it's 10 times the price it used to be. there is not enough food to go around. >> we call on international humanitarian organizations to accelerate the supply of aid as people are in need of the basic, food and medication. diseases are spreading. we need your gent intervention to save lives and stop suffering. >> among those suffering are the many internally displaced families who have come here to escape fighting in places including the nearby city of aden. they are living in temporary camps with no resources. they are at least under the guard of resistance fighters who protect the town. the influx of people are pressuring an already struggling medical system. >> this is the only hospital in the province, and we also have to take care of its people that have come from aden. the hospitals are already full, but more people keep coming. >> then there's the issue of electricity. there isn't any. that is unless you have a generator and can get diesel. it's another challenge for people living in this relatively safe town, despite the fighting all around. >> there's been another night of violence between police and supporters of kurdish rebels in a town in southeastern turkey. anger's been growing in the region since the military stepped up attacks on kurdish targets in north iraq. four have died in the violence over the past two days. >> kurds in europe have been showing anger at the turkish government. in france, thousands marched to central power. the kurdish community were out enforce, call for peace in the middle east. >> almost a year after the u.s. backed coalition began targeting it's as i will in syria, al jazeera is told it is not working. the group has lost some territory but still holds raqqa. we have this report. >> these men are from the syrian acity of raqqa. they hide their identities. they are continuing with what they say is a campaign to save their city. their information suggests that u.s. led coalition airstrikes have done little damage to isil inside the city. these activists tell us the coalitions overall central see that's solely relied on the kurds is working in isil's favor. the kurds take territory and push isil out. many went south to raqqa and some fear the kurds more than isil. >> the u.s. is trying to put together an army to fight isil, what it calls the new syrian forces to partner with modern rebel factors on the ground. there are those who warn against this. >> any force linked to the u.s. and doesn't fight the syrian government will be looked upon with suspicion. syrian will see this as a war in islam. there are many groups, but the u.s. won't work with them because they are religious. >> the new syrian forces are supposed to lead the ground assault in aleppo. even before they deployed in the battlefield,ing some have been killed and captured by air i can't's al-qaeda linked nusra front. >> nusra is not the only obstacle. the force is not strong enough and many rebels with him not join because it won't fight the syrian regime. >> the activists say it is must not like these who should be given support. syrian supports among them the brigade who consider the government and isil as enemies. >> there won't be any solution if the coalition doesn't focus against the regime, as well. the coalition needs to seriously target isil in raqqa, because it's the main bails and from there moves freely to iraq and other areas in syria. >> for now, the focus i also to the northwest. if the campaign succeeds, it would end the armed presence along turkeys border and stop the flow of foreign fighters. this won't defeat isil in syria and the coalition and its partners may create more enemies on the ground. >> a police officer and egyptian army conscript have been killed in an explosion in egypt's north sinai. three others were wounded on an attack by a car. >> security forces arrested israelis after overnight searches president west bank following an peak on two palestinian homes in the village of douma. an 18-month-old baby and his father were killed and other family members seriously injured. >> the chief minister of pakistan's punjab province called for an investigation after a child sex abuse ring has been uncovered. more than 400 videos of children abused have been discovered in the state of punjab. nicole johnson explains from islamabad. >> pakistani police say that some 280 children were sexually abused and assaulted by a gang of 25 men over a number of years. so far, seven men have been arrested. there are reports that some 400 videos were made and thousands of these ended up on the local market, sold for as the as 40 cents each. the parents say that these videos could have ended up abroad in the u.s., u.k. and europe. reports starting to come out saying children had been drugged and the families forced to pay money and jewelry to these gangs, essentially black mailed by that the gangs. the families of the victims are call for a full judicial inquiry. they don't trust the police to properly investigate this. they are calling for military courts to hear any cases of the accused. this has created a great controversy in pakistan and disgust among the public in a country where children rights are very poor and many have little faith in the judicial system they say is rife with trappings. >> could you explain to us just why this abuses was covered up for so long. >> i think it's a case of rape, pornography, pedophilia and agony that the boys and their families have been put through. in the villages of pakistan, there is a structure, the in flu enshe will politicians, members of parliament have the police forces in their pocket and i say this knowing what i'm saying, the judiciary is very scared and there's no such thing as witness protection for the parents to come forward to either register cases with the police against the perpetrators or to be heard or to have any hope of a fair trial within the jurisdiction of that particular, because the system in pakistan does not permit a fair trial. >> is there reluctance to report abuse, because it might be considered taboo? >> taboo is too strong a word, but it's certainly bringing dishonor and shame and stigma on the families and society in general. in our village structures, very often, most families who live there are members of the same clan or tribe or caste, so it brings a lot of shame when there are young girls, little girls involved, then it raises issues about their subsequent marriages, no one will bring propose also for them. those are long term type issues. right now i would likes to something if you don't mind. i think pakistan is failing its children. we have laws. we have a constitution. i brought the constitution with me, which has an entire article which talks about the duties of the state to protect the family, the marriage unit, the mother, the child, and i ask if the state of pakistan is doing that through successi government and the answer is no, it's not. how do we know that? annually, we have state of children's report by the n.g.o. spark. now the problem with g.g.o.'s working in pakistan is successive governments, whether they are military style particular tater ships or democratically elected government are in denial, and whenever an independent n.g.o. brings fort reports of such child sexual abuse, pornography, pedophileia, child area, 25 million children out of school, all these -- >> i want to ask one more question, just how widespread you think this exploitation is, these numbers are 300 children in this case and called the tip of the iceberg. >> yes. it is indeed the tip of the iceberg, because for two reasons, as i said, the stigma and the shame and dishonor it brings on the family and the hopelessness of bringing cases registering and going through the court system. our court system takes years and years and years so there's a hopelessness and despair about the ways of doing thing. this is indeed the tip of the iceberg. >> thank you very much for taking the time to come speak to us here on al jazeera. >> thank you. >> plenty more still to come on this news hour, including once in radioactive ruins, now reis your gent. how a nuke power that destroyed nagasaki has helped rebuild it. >> the issue of mental health in american football comes under the spotlight once again. more detail in sport. >> people in haiti are voterring in elections that were supposed to be held more than three years ago. polls have been opened for about three hours now. what's the atmosphere like there? >> we're outside a school here in the inquire of port-au-prince and the people have been filtering in bit by bit to vote. i would not say very large, large crowds. in fact, niece entrepreneurial men and women here with their snacks and drinks for sale seem to out number the voters at some points. it's a bit of a tight squeeze, all right. now we're inside the voting center, and you can see that there are lines of people going into these tents, these white tents and inside, there are ballot papers which they're marking. it's a complicated situation, because there are so may be candidates with a very limited number of seats. their security here, i'll just look over in this direction here and you can see some of the armed security guards, both male and female police officers. this election is one that is important for haiti. the president of haiti has called for calm, has called for an acceptance of the results, but already we are getting reports that two polling stations in party you a prince have been trashed. a group of people came in, tore up the ballots, threw all the materials on the ground, and so those polling places are out of commission. that's not a good sign so early on, because this election is really a chance for haiti to bolster its fledgling democracy and get back a measure of its sovereign. >> i in the haitian countryside, life is hard, money is scarce, and government services are nearly non-existent. people here in the village fetch their drinking water from the same stream that their animals wade in. this family has six children and a sevenned on the day and scrapes by with meager earnings of the husband, a day laborer. >> government doesn't provide any services for us. >> the president was holding a political rally nearby, making promises and asking residents for votes. >> decades of misrule, corruption, foreign intervention and natural disasters have left haiti a hollowed out state with functions like the military, health care and education largely run by outsiders, u.n. agencies and non-governmental organizations, or n.g.o.'s. >> many haitians resent this. >> it is like those guys, let's help them, but they always want to think for us, to design for us, to do things for us. >> haiti's prime admits there's a problem. >> we are conscious how it has affected the sovereignty of our country. >> this university student says haiti would be better off on its own. >> i think they should go. they brought us cholera, cause more misery. >> without foreign help, like these volunteers from doctors without borders working alongside haitian physicians, the health system would get worse. education, too, dependency on outsiders, 90% of schools are operated or funded by churches and foreign organizations. one bright spot is policing. the head of the u.n. police operations said the haitian national police or h.n.p. is doing the job of law and order. >> it's a myth to think that the h.n.p. is not doing it now. i can tell you i see it every day. my officers are not involved in managing the security controls the country as much as the h.n.p. is. >> sunday's elections if successful will be a major step for haiti toward reclaiming its sovereignty. rob reynolds, al jazeera, party you a prince. >> japan's commitment to peace is at risk. a ceremony marked 70 years singles the u.s. dropped a nuclear bomb on the city. there are concerns over new security laws. the government is pushing bills through parliament that could see japanese troops employed in conflict for the first time since world war ii. >> there is a debate in parliament to change national security. the ideal of our peace constitution is start to go waiver. i asked government and parliament lills total worries and concerns of the people and debate this using wisdom in a careful and sincere manager. >> japan's relationship with nuclear energy has been a fraught one. it helped that power cities like nagasaki. the tsunami and earthquake turned opinions against it. >> the recovery mirrors japan's transformation. leaders embraced the technology that had defeated the country to help power its resurgence. japan suffered. we have a right to sit with that we have a right to promote the possibility of atomic energy. >> the united states would be more than jailing it was a policy that coincided with president eisenhowers peace initiative with exhibitions across japan. the sales pitch was made harder by continued u.s. nuclear weapons testing. in particular when a japanese fishing boat was doused in the fallout from a u.s. test. at first, they thought it was a strange snowfall. the symptoms came later. >> my face turned black and my skin started to fall off, i concealed it from everyone. i didn't want my family and i to face discrimination. >> renewed nuclear fierce began in cinema. as japan began to build nuke power plants in the 1960's, a different figure emerged. the industry used an image infamy let's in which a boy carries a nuclear plant to a far off jungle where it saves freezing animals and survives an earthquake and tsunami unscathed. national confidence surged and japanese factories exported products and know how to the world. those sorts of promotional messages chimed with what many people in this country were experiencing. in 2011, faith in the nuclear power and design for its safety were shaken to its core. >> in the aftermath of fukushima's disaster, the majority of opinion is against restarting them. just as in the 1950's, such concerns are trumped by the energy nuclear reactors offer the nation. >> people's opinions are split, but those who haven't thought about nuclear power before started to after the incident, and they began to realize the dangers. >> this week, this will be the first since the disaster to start and with it, japan's fraught relationship with the power of the atom. >> north korea's government cut food reactions as drought conditions destroy crop yields. two thirds of people there now face chronic food shortages. they say government mismanagement along with normally warm weather caused the situation. >> a famine in the 1990's killed up to 4 million people. >> any rain headed to north korea? >> it's rainfall, it's temperatures, but also, it's agricultural drought is the management of crops and so on, i think that probable is the nut of the problem. if you look at the situation across north korea, you can see a flow coming from the south. we do see showers developing from the system. the situation should be getting better. you see the area of cloud and rain moving up across the yellow sea in what we suggest is going across the peninsula. i don't think there's going to be a great deal of rain left. that particular circulation is what is left of the former typhoon, the strongest storm on earth this year for a time. one of the byproducts of that is the massive assent through these tropical cyclones. you've got warmer in the atmosphere. heading to hong kong, 36 degrees. we've got temperatures coming back towards the valley. you can see it on the whole of eastern china. there is a loose amalgamation of china. this whole region is going to be very wet over the next day or so. a lot of rain across eastern china, i think the most heavy days will cause a downpour in the region with heavy flooding. >> still ahead here on al jazeera, some are welcomed, others threatened. the report from germany where the arrival of migrants is dividing opinions. >> this is only a few hours away from the capital, but a tribe has managed to live here in complete isolation for centuries. i'm reporting where the challenges grow by the week. >> this is our water, enjoy it. >> the mayor gets questions about his city's water with a year until the olympics. the only way to get better is to challenge yourself, and that's what we're doing at xfinity. we are challenging ourselves to improve every aspect of your experience. and this includes our commitment to being on time. every time. that's why if we're ever late for an appointment, we'll credit your account $20. it's our promise to you. we're doing everything we can to give

masterpiece. timing's important. comcast business knows that. that's why you can schedule an installation at a time that works for you. even late at night, or on the weekend, if that's what you need. because you have enough to worry about. i did not see that coming. don't deal with disruptions. get better internet installed on your schedule. comcast business. built for business. >> the iraq cabinet approved a plan to abolish positions in parliament. one has resigned. the proposal still needs to be approved by parliament. >> almost a year after the u.s. backed coalition targeted isil positions in syria, activists tell al jazeera there the strategy is not working and might even backfire. isil has lost some territory but still firmly controls the capital, raqqa. >> voting in underway in haiti for the first legislative elections in four years. there are concerns over insecurity and violence and fears that a low voter turnout could harm the election's legitimacy. >> let's get more on the u.s. strategy against isil in syria. we're joined by victoria prom the american university in northern iraq. first of all, do you agree with these activists when they say that this u.s. strategy against isil is not working? >> it's not working, because the u.s. is striking on many fronts, but at the end of the day, isil continues to gain ground and wherever it leaves one place, it starts in another, so it shows that the strategy if there is any, is not actually working. >> what do you think of this, the army that the u.s. is putting together, the force they are calling the new syrian forces? >> this force is clearly a failure because out of 60 trained, may not have been captured and others have refused to fight other fronts, such as the al-nusra front. it shows that it is going to be very difficult to find troops that are actually committed to fight for the foes that the u.s. are actually choosing. >> it's such a messy time, though, isn't it, of allegiance, it's almost impossible for the u.s. to get it 100% right. >> absolutely. it's extremely messy. some alliances of today become let's say conflict of tomorrow, many of the different factions have been together the f.s.a. and assad forces were together, but not in other places. it's way too messy for any international power to come in and say we are going to train one bunch of people to fight those people, because eventually, alliances are made and broken on a daily basis. >> what role do you think the u.s. should play in this battle then to maximize its effects? >> i guess this the airstrikes have been working very well, and it's important to empower troops on the ground with a political vision. the problem is that there is no political vision. i guess that we have seen that in different cities of syria, such as kobane, all of the ground that has been won through airstrikes is very difficult to secure afterwards, and so it's complicated for the u.s. to act apart from the airstrikes. i think that they are going to have to choose a political solution, and this political solution has to come from different regional powers also involved. >> victoria, great to get your expertise. thanks for joining us from erbil. >> more than 200 migrants have been rescued in the mediterranean sea by the italian coast guard. they've been taken to the southern island of lampedusa. the rescue mission was carried out after migrants were spotted in rubber ding guy's. more than 2,000 have died trying to reach europe by boat. >> for those who do make it safely to land, one of the most desired destinations is germany. tents are being put up in some cities to accommodate the growing number of asylum seekers, but their presence divided opinions. we have this report from dresden. >> this his the town in eastern germany where tents are being built to house a growing number of asylum-seekers, people this state says it is struggling to accommodate. >> the drama is that because of the high numbers of refugees, our asylum system is in meltdown. the high number of rivals mean authorities are extremely stretched. >> another recent problem is the rise on attacks in migrants in eastern germany. in april, a home that was due to house asylum seekers were fire bombed in the town. part of a three fold increase in such attacks compared with 2014. last week, this tent city saw a standoff between opponents and supporters of the far right political party n.p.d., labeled neonazi. the arrival of more migrants is worrying. >> it's important to protect our own culture, our identity that we have as a population. it's a nation of germans and that becomes a problem. >> that view seems not to be shared by many in dresden. >> i think germany is rich enough to absorb it. we can all contribute, so that the misery is reduced. >> i think we have nearly reached the limit. we should try to cater for those who arrive now but soon we will reach our limits. >> the people housed in this certiorari tent city come from 20 countries, many from the world's conflict areas. aid agencies say many refugees and migrants here are in urgent need of food assistance and in some cases medicine. many don't know what will happen to them. >> now i come here just i feel for now alive. >> i don't know what is about then what happens to me, my future, but i so hope for the future. >> the red cross says the most pressing concern here is humanitarian. >> it's a crush on the organizations. it isn't a question why do people come to us, only one question here. do people need help? they must get our help. >> it's a question that will grow ever more pressing with suggestions that more than 400,000 new migrants will arrive in germany this year. dominic cain, al jazeera, dresden. >> sunday is international world indigenous people's day and this year's focus is on health and well being. some communities in remote areas are struggling to hold on to their way of life. we met a tribe in west java which is calling for government protection. >> this is a frank will region, only a few others from indonesia's capital. they have lived without communication. or transportation. if they need to go to the capital, they walk for three days. it's a century's old system built on rules paled on for generations. they have their own beliefs and are not allowed to use modern tools. >> why do we refuse electricity? because if electricity comes to us, our traditions and culture will disappear very quickly. >> despite strict rules, things are changing. disappearing forests have made the tribe more accessible to outsiders. the younger generation has discovered a new world of mobile phones and television sets, but owning these tools means risking to be expelled from the tribe. >> >> it is difficult, because i can only call when i come out of the mountains, and i have to find my friend to use his phone. >> to protect the tribe, they have divided themselves in two rings, the inner is off limits to fortune errs, the outer is more open. >> this is as far as we were allowed to go. beyond this point, but we have managed to keep out modernization, but the world of mobile phones, cars and electricity is moving closer and closer and pressure on the culture is rising. >> while government laws protect them from mining or timber companies destroying their land, they say their culture also needs protection. >> we need to protect our traditional lifestyle, an obligation we have to our ancestors. therefore, we need a legal framework from the government to protect our tribal rights. >> the crimean government says a bill to protect the rights of indigenous people is being drafted and should become law next year if accepted by parliament. >> it enriches our country. we hope the government program to protect the tribe can be accepted by political leaders. >> change seems inevitable, facing an increasing population, they are forced to buy land from outsiders, a new challenge that will make it even harder to maintain their traditions. >> a member of the u.n. permanent forum on indigenous issues joins us live from bake cock. just how possible is it to remain totally isolated in this day and age? >> can you come back with your question? >> how possible is it to be isolated from modernization in this day and age? >> oh, it's almost impossible now, because indigenous territories are now invaded by mining, by dams, by plantations, by different kind of probables that the government are bringing in without the consent of indigenous peoples, so we are facing serious threats now to our very survival as indigenous peoples, especially in asia, where there are more than 200 million of indigenous peoples across the different countries. >> what is the answer, then? is it right to have very strict rules that refuse all moderation, or is that alienating the younger generation? june the younger generation are learning the new technologies, but at the same time, are also involved in their communities, so it's important that the young generation should still be educated with the traditional knowledge and our systems of livelihood. the problem now is because we are being discriminated, the young people normally deny their own identity because if they accept themselves as indigenous peoples, then they are discriminated in the wider society. >> can you live in the two worlds? >> yes, i think so. i mean, we are not living in a vacuum. we are also changing our culture is adapting to the new times, and we are also learning from the new technology, we are also being educated. the problem is our lands and territories, the basis of our culture is being destroyed, yet we are part -- we recognize ourselves as part of the wider society. we are just asking for respect of our rights, of our culture, of our dignity as indigenous people, because the word is a multi-cultural world and it has to accept other cultures and that is the way we want to be, why we also adjust and cope with the changing times. >> absolutely, live and let live. thank you very much for joining us there from bangkok. >> singapore is celebrating 50 years of independence since breaking away from malaysia. the island city state that become one of the world's leading economies. the prime minister led celebrations complete with marching bands and a military air show. we have this report. >> a cost of thousands assembled for a celebration of nation hood. onward singapore is the slogan, promises that no one would forget, they kept that promise. nearly 3,000 meters of l.e.d. screens and a spectacular light show wowed the 50,000 spectators who managed to get tickets to the venue. it showed singapore's beginning, progress, strength and identity. on it went, the army and the navy on the ground while the air force treated the crowds with precision flying. there was parading past the v.i.p.'s. many wondered how lee would cope without his father, the first prime minister. his death earlier this year brought thousands on to the streets to spay their respects. his vision create a vibrant economy, the envy of some who aspire to do the same. those gathered for the celebrations had time to reflect on a moment in history. >> i think the general sense of pride is there. i really feel they have their nationalism and patriotism together. >> we plan to view the fireworks. >> there was pageantry but the celebrations will not lost long. there are important decisions to be made in the coming months. >> the stage is set for the next general election, the prime minister is making a lot of remarks about the future, the ruling party announced the retirement of several m.p.'s, so we are going to see an election sooner than later. >> young, educated, tech savvy and inspirational. many people, including expats have come back to say thank you to a country, system and vision that came out of a developing island and transformed itself into a first world economy. they know that the present reality that they live comes from the decisions that were made in the past. while they soak up the atmosphere of this unique occasion, for now, the party goes on. al jazeera, singapore. >>

are from the brotherhood, a muslim sect promoting living together, away from the city and closer to the earth, in communes. some of these children are ruer fans, others abandoned by their parents. at

million children live on the streets in senegal, either abandoned or forced into begging. while authorities do little to protect them, they are offered safety. everyone is welcome as long as they leave possessions behind, participate and work and follow the islamic principles of their sect. >> intention, work is our form of prayer. there was nothing here, not even a well. thirty years later, there is a school, a training program, a health center, a maternity ward, the workshops can employ up to 360 people. there is water for the villages, three deep wells, a pump, taps, concrete walls. >> there are communes like these throughout west africa. this branch of islam is more than 100 years old. they spread their message through music. for him, it's a culture return to the land and is especially relevant today, as millions of young migrants risk their lives to travel to europe, instead of seeking opportunities at home. >> we have fertile lands, oceans filled with fish. we have the beaming sun. we have enough to live happy. >> their focus is on labor, whether making clothes or growing organic investigate bells, this work ethic is paying off. >> this devotion for hard work and education has brought self sufficiency and sense of prosperity for this community, because they are owners of small but successful businesses. >> one of the religious leaders even developed a brand. these clothes are sold across the world. the proceeds go back to the community. >> we are blessed, only because what we make is made from our hearts. it's our genuine love for work that holds our community together. >> love, they say, is as islamic ospreying and fasting. for some of these children, this has been a gift, an opportunity to find happiness. al jazeera, senegal. >> sport is still ahead this news hour. argentina creates history in rugby. we will have details. >> runners in the london marathon are concerned that allegations that seven participants had suspicious blood tests. the results call for further nationals of tests leaked from the database. the newspaper also claims that one in four winners of 34 big city marathons should have faced investigation over blood doping, because of suspicious test results. the former world number one marathon runner recorded extreme blood scores for nine years before she was finally stripped of her four marathon wins in chicago and london. athletes with suspicious blood scores collected more than $4.5 million in winnings. >> the world anti doping agency launched an investigation into allegations made by the newspaper over the last week. the governing body has agreed to hand its full database to the investigators, but some athletes are taking it even further. olympic gold medalist is one of eight british athletes who have
