suu kyi was sentenced to jail by a military—controlled court. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, said her conviction was an "affront to democracy and justice". the european union called it a blatant violation of human rights, and this is what the un made of it. the trial was a sham trial by military—controlled court without due regard for the fair trial obligations of myanmar. aung san suu kyi has been under house arrest since a military coup in february toppled her elected government. she'd been found guilty of inciting unrest and violating covid restrictions. the trial took place in a small courtroom in a government building in the capital, which is the military�*s stronghold. these are stills from the trial. state media said the initial four—your sentence was reduced to two after a partial pardon by the head of the militaryjunta. but she faces many more charges, 11 in total, so this sentence could bejust the beginning. the bbc�*sjonathan head has more. the military government is trying to give an impression of leniency by cutting the sentence, but as human right groups pointed out, these trials, and she faces many of them, have little similarity to fair process. they've been secret committees, had little access to her lawyers and has been kept in isolation since the day she was arrested when the military seized power. these processes are very politicised. she faces ten, 11 more serious charges that may result in a prison sentence up to 100 years, and they may take many more months. in the meantime, her country has descended into catastrophic conflict because people who support aung san suu kyi, and she is very popular, initially started protesting and were gunned down by the military, and they're beginning to take up arms. we are seeing conflict all over the country, the economy has collapsed and that will probably decide what happens to aung san suu kyi, when we see some resolution of that, rather than these sham trial processes and prison sentences. elected lawmakers and members of parliament ousted in the february coup have formed a national unity government of myanmar in exile. here's what they're saying. today is simply a shameful day for the rule of law and justice l and accountability in myanmar. the brutal militaryjunta has today confirmed that they see _ themselves as above the law. not only they attack defenceless | civilians of myanmar with better| weapons that they bought from china, i russia and many other countries, i but they attack the very root of our democracy. _ aung san suu kyi is no stranger to detention. she spent nearly 15 years up to 2010 under house arrest at the hands of the military. she was awarded the nobel peace prize for her work to bring democracy to myanmar. in 2015, the military raised hopes of a democratic transition by allowing elections. aung san suu kyi's national league for democracy won with a huge majority, and she became the country's de facto ruler. but her reputation abroad was severely damaged by her handling of the rohingya crisis, which started in 2017. under her watch, the military was accused of targeting and killing the rohingya muslim community. these refugees tell horrific stories of rape and murder. in 2019, ms suu kyi appeared at the un international court ofjustice to defend the military against accusations of genocide, something that horrified her international supporters. but ms suu kyi remains hugely popular at home. these were the scenes in myanmar�*s largest city, yangon, on monday after aung san suu kyi's sentence was announced. pro—democracy activists came onto the streets despite the military carrying out numerous violent crackdowns on protesters. mass demonstrations like this one in april have been taking place across myanmar since the military seized control in february. 1300 people have already been killed. on sunday, a further five protesters are reported to have died in yangon at the hands of the military. here's the un on that. there was an incident in yangon, in one of the townships, where security forces used a truck to ram into peaceful protesters, and then they opened fire, live ammunition, on unarmed protesters. now, this is vicious, utterly reprehensible behaviour. and this, coupled with the sentencing of aung sang suu kyi, sends a signal that the military is desperate to legitimise its rule, but in fact it is accomplishing exactly the opposite. it is confirming that it is an illegitimate takeover of myanmar. so aung san suu kyi is jailed again, but others opposing the military are getting even harsher treatment. here's amnesty international. this is not about only aung sang suu kyi, but this is about the hundreds of people who have been detained since the coupjust because of their peaceful exercise of human rights, just because they oppose the military. so, the way they're going after aung sang suu kyi, it may be worse the way they're going after other people who oppose them, but do not have the profile of aung sang suu kyi. thin lei win is a burmese journalist living in rome. thank you very much forjoining us. what is your reaction to this prison

sector workers. first, italy, where tougher rules on the unvaccinated have come into force. from today, many public activities, like sitting inside a restaurant, are now off limits to anyone without a so—called covid super green pass, and it's being heavily policed. this was on a bus in rome earlier, where checks were under way. anyone who doesn't follow the rules could face a fine. infection rates in italy have been rising gradually since the middle of october, and its vaccination rate is higher than many of its neighbours. 73% of its population are fully vaccinated. in germany, it's 68%. here's dr margaret harris from the world health organization on italy's approach. we don't necessarily want to see hard vaccine mandates, but we do understand that in an emergency, governments get to where they're struggling with helping people to do the things to get us out of the situation. one of the struggles is it's been going on for two years, people have begun to almost think it's something that they wantto move on from. now, we can all move on if we do get vaccinated, if we do take a public health and social distancing, the avoiding the crowding, and we have to do all these things and do it all together in order to end this pandemic. from italy to new york, where workers in the private sector must now be vaccinated. the rules were imposed in an attempt to prevent another wave of infections during winter. here's mayor bill de blasio. look, this is how we put health and safety first, by ensuring that there is a vaccine mandate that reaches everyone universally in the private sector. a lot of folks in the private sector have said to me they believe in vaccination, but they're not quite sure how they can do it themselves. well, we're going to do it. the new rules will affect 184,000 businesses and will take effect december 27th. danielle ompad is professor of epidemiology at new york university. thank you very much forjoining us. do you agree with the mayor's

addicts, doing more to discourage recreational users and coming down hard on drug gangs. our home editor mark easton reports. police! as officers conducted raids against suspected drug dealers in liverpool this morning, the prime minister donned a police beanie. the visual message was that enforcement remains at the heart of his drugs strategy, getting tough with the estimated 300,000 heroin and cocaine addicts, but borisjohnson also hinted at a huge financial announcement to come. you're going to do two things at once. you've got be tougher on the county lines gangs, you've got to be tougher on the criminals who are doing it, but you've also got to make sure that you find those 300,000 people and you help them away. you can't simply arrest them time after time and put them back in prison again and again. you've got to do rehab as well. the £780 million for treatment and recovery programmes in england will provide for more drugs workers, more residential rehab places and morejob opportunities to help people stay off drugs. overall, a far bigger settlement than expected. the last two drugs strategies have been accompanied with lots of promises, but no cash. so, it makes a welcome change to have a drugs strategy that is backed up with the cash that is needed to invest in effective drug treatment services. essex police recently conducted raids in southend and other towns in the county to disrupt the dealers, but despite decades of such activity, drug gangs still control an illicit business which costs britain £20 billion a year and reaches into almost every community. the government wants to demonstrate it's taking on the dealers and the addicts who bring fear and misery to neighbourhoods like this, but those who work in the field say the key to reducing drug harms is to see the problem as a public health issue, not a criminaljustice one. on the estate a few years back, i there was quite a lot of drug use... marie started injecting heroin to escape the reality of a violent domestic life on this southend estate. in and out of prison, her children were taken into care. now, after treatment, she's clean and runs a charity helping other drug users in the city. if you were the prime minister, what would you do to solve britain's drugs problem? chuck a load of money into - treatment...treatment facilities. open up the 30—odd treatment centres they've been closed down _ in the last ten years. i've stood at enough people's funerals in the last ten yearsl watching little children - bury their mothers and fathers. the government don't get to see that side of it. i i came to recovery because of my drug usage... today's announcement, though, goes a long way to reversing the cuts to treatment over the last decade. and the users that marie's southend service are hoping that some of the money might help fund the work currently paid for by charity. coming here and connecting with all these people, it'sjust, i'm not alone. i mean, i thought it wasjust me that wasjust crackers. but, you know what i mean, it ain't, though. dame carol black, who recently wrote a review of drugs policy for the government, joined the health secretary this afternoon at a needle exchange. she welcomes the focus on public health interventions. we do want county lines - to disappear, but unless you give equal balance to treatment i and recovery, we're really not going to move forward. the public may want reassurance that police and the courts are dealing with the scourge of drug crime, but the evidence suggests it's a focus on treatment that will make the real difference. a trial has begun in israel of six men who broke out of a maximum in the next half hour we turned back to a story dominating discussions for the last week, questions about that christmas party in downing street almost exactly 12 months ago. we look at what the government's been saying about that and if you want to find reports from me and the team across bbc, remember if you want to see longer explainers from us, nine, ten, 11 minutes can be can get them on the iplayer in the news category and you can very easily see them and if you prefer to subscribe to audio versions, you can get those on the abc sounds at or for your smart flickr or you can listen to them on the bbc world service so lots of options and if you can get this to work, also defined our explainers on the bbc news website as well. our videos are on the bbc news website as well. and if that is not enough, then we also tweet out all the reports on audio or video and follow me there. i will see you in a couple of minutes' time. hello. let's start with a look at the impact storm barra may have to us over the next 24—36 hours. not as potent a storm as storm arwen, but it could have massive impacts to the south west of ireland and then as this low pressure moves in, there is the potential here in the uk for damage and destruction. let's start with the winds, first of all. strongest for the west coast of wales, the east of northern ireland through the day, 80 mph gusts possible for some. widespread gales then across the rest of england, wales, southern scotland. later in the day, we'll see those winds strengthen in the far north east. not the 100 mph winds we saw in scotland and northern england from arwen, but perhaps the biggest problems here could be snowfall later in the day, blizzards on the hills, even to some lower levels as the breeze picks up. but the winds generally across the southern parts of scotland and north east england, in the order of around a0 or maybe 50 mph at worst. here is storm barra developing to the west of us through the afternoon. there is this slight gap ahead of it, and that means tonight as the showers start to fade, a few will continue north and east of scotland, it's going to be a cold night and a frosty night. widespread frost through east wales, england and also scotland that could lead to some icy conditions, but it's in these areas, a sunny, quiet start, almost the calm before the storm. and it's generally gradually through the day, we will see storm barra working its way into bring that disruption, the latest weather warnings are on the app and other bbc weather website. but we start with the strengthening winds accompanied by heavy rain, maybe a bit of hill snow moving across ireland into wales and south west england through the morning rush hour gradually, and then that will push its way in across the rest of wales, england into southern scotland through the rest of the morning and afternoon. the wind strengthening as well, and as it hits the colder air, southern scotland, northern england, we will start to see that rain turn readily to snow. the far north of scotland the driest and quietest through the day with some sunny spells. but here, the winds will be picking up later. gales developing to give some blizzards across the north pennines and southern parts of scotland by the end of the afternoon. that will last into the first part of the evening rush hour, and then the snow becomes confined to the hills of scotland as we go through the night and into wednesday morning. there could still be some wintry showers around, all circulating round like socks in a washing machine from storm barra. centred across southern scotland and northern england through wednesday. this is where the winds will be lightest. strongest of the winds are around the edges, particularly through ireland, south west wales towards the south west of england and the channel islands and across shetland. sunshine and showers the name of the game on wednesday and staying cold. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. the us announces the diplomatic boycott of the 2022 olympics in china. and political motivated and the result of the sham trial. they say they're reducing the symptoms from four to two years, but as the first of a series of verdicts that could see herjail for life. first of a series of verdicts that could see herjailfor life. in the follow from the christmas party at downing street last december continues. we will look through all of the different government explanations for what happened. the trial of ghislaine maxwell has entered its second week in new york. today the jury has been hearing from a second woman who says jeffery epstein sexually abused her. the woman — who is being referred to under the pseudonym kate — told the court how ms.maxwell groomed her to be abused by epstein when she was 17 years old. ghislaine maxwell has pleaded not guilty to eight counts of sex trafficking and other charges. nada tawfik is outside the courthouse in new york. tell us more about what we have heard today in the testimony. this is a reall heard today in the testimony. tt 3 is a really interesting case because the prosecution and the defendants have been arguing about this particular woman, particularly because she was at the age of consent at the time of the alleged abuse and so, thejudge has instructed the jury that the sex acts that she is testifying about are not illegal. instead, her testimony is being used to show the prosecutions case that maxwell really played a pivotal role in jeffrey epstein's life in particular, the so—called grooming process for women and so, we heard from kate that she met maxwell when she was 1a years old and she went to her london home to ft was immediately impressed with her and wanted to like her and wanted to be like her when she grew up and she was left feeling exhilarated. she was left feeling exhilarated. she was even told allegedly by maxwell that her boyfriend would help her with her music career. but she said the next time she visited, that really started a pattern of abuse to continue for a number of years. maxwell asked her to givejeffrey epstein's massages, she was not a masseuse ever and said she was asked to give massages that turn sexual and she travelled with the duo to new york, london, jeffrey epstein's private island. and so, really what we have here is another testimony outlining glenn maxwell's role. nasa has pleaded not guilty in the defence have been questioning the woman on cross—examination and really hitting on points like her alcohol and drug abuse when she was younger, saying that possibly affected her memory. she said it did not and also the fact that she has received money from the victims compensation fund for epstein's accuses. she said she is not doing this at all for money.

ross, that is the big question whether or not i trial? ross, that is the big i question whether or not she trial? ross, that is the big - question whether or not she will testify in her defence and it is usually a case of the defendants taking the advice of their lawyers. at the end of the day, it is for the prosecution to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt and so, she does not have to testify so, it is up to her lawyers to guide her to see whether or not there would be helpful in her case. but this is the first time we are getting a real up—close look at her since she was arrested and she has been injail for more than a year. her family says she has been mistreated, photos have been leaked of her with the black i in prison. she has been very inattentive, she puts on her glass to examine all the exhibits thoroughly. she passes notes to her attorneys and people are testifying in she is absolutely engaged in this and does seem to perk up when she sees herfamily in and does seem to perk up when she sees her family in the courtroom with her. for the next few minutes we're going to look again at the questions which remain about a gathering at borisjohnson's residence in downing street almost exactly 12 months ago. last december, there was a christmas party at number 10. a week since we learned about it, borisjohnson's spokesperson insists "there was not a party" at number 10. the party took place when covid rules made such gatherings illegal. borisjohnson's spokesman says: but this isn't simple. because ever since the daily mirror broke this story, the government has been trying to explain that what happened was within the rules, and that it wasn't a party. without offering any evidence to back up either claim. there was this from the prime minister last wednesday. all guidance was followed during this. minister maggie throup on question time last thursday. no evidence was offered to justify that reassurance. then at the weekend we heard from dominic raab, the justice secretary and deputy prime minister, who appeared on andrew marr�*s programme. last christmas, christmas parties allowed in london?— last christmas, christmas parties allowed in london? generally, no. no. this is backed up by bbc reality check which notes: when shown the guidance, mr raab agreed that its meaning was clear. if there was a party, that would be contrary to the guidance that was signed. the justice secretary talked there about a "�*formal party'. but the law made no distinction between types of party. it stated that: government guidance at the time said: but on what happened in downing street, mr raab said it's impossible to answer the allegations "�*on the basis of anonymous sources�*. the justice secretay did though accept this. we can agree it was wrong if it happened, it was wrong. anonymous sources, happened, it was wrong. anonymous sources. but — happened, it was wrong. anonymous sources, but of— happened, it was wrong. anonymous sources, but of course. _ this remember was a party where, as one source told the bbc: and yet on monday the government was still questioning if something that we know happened — had happened. the crime and policing minister kit malthouse talked to bbc breakfast. i don't even know if the event took place, but if it did, no rules were broken. the crime and policing minister doesn't know if the event took place. but an event did take place. an event that, if multiple accounts are correct, would have breached government guidelines. that party took place on 18 december. there are multiple reports of another event on 27 november. a time when there was a national lockdown. the guardian says this was: it goes on to say a source with knowledge of the gathering said: at this time, indoor social gatherings were banned unless within one household bubble. it was a regulation signed off by the prime minister. but that event in downing street may have broken it. and we know at the time police were looking for those who were breaking the rules. weeks later on 17 december last year, the met told us how: the day after, there was a christmas party in numberio. also in december last year, leicestershire police shared this video of a raid on a gathering of over 60 people — which led to two fines of 10 thousand pounds. the bbc is told that the party was several dozen strong. and while we look back to december, so are the authorities. but for different reasons. here is tristan kirk reporting. tristan also notes: gatherings in london under tier 3 were criminal offences. but in a statement this weekend, responding to letters from labour mps about what happened in downing street, the metropolitan police said: and while we all consider the gap between government assurances — and available evidence: the prime minister has been launching a clampdown on drug dealers. and after delivering a law and order message, he was asked a question about the party in downing street. to which mrjohnson told the liverpool echo: and so once more we have mrjohnson telling us something didn't break the rules — while offering nothing to counter the growing evidence that it did. a trial has begun in israel of six men who broke out of a maximum security prison, back in september. the jailbreak was felt as a huge embarassement to the israeli government. palestinian militant groups however described the mens' escape as "heroic". the men dug a hole in the floor of their bathroom using a rusty spoon. this gave them access to a hollow space underneath the prison, created when it was built. an israeli police commander described it as a "structural flaw". the tunnel then surfaced, outside the prison walls. it actually emerged right under a watchtower, but the guards didn't notice. israel mounted a huge manhunt — and after two weeks it had recaptured all six of the men — some were in israel, and the final two were in the west bank. gilboa prison is in the north of israeljust a few kilometres away from the west bank. it's dedicated to housing palestinians convicted of security offenses. and it's nickname is "the safe" because no—one is supposed to break out of it. tom bateman is injerusalem what more do we know about how these men managed to get out? the fact that they're _ men managed to get out? the fact that they're able _ men managed to get out? the fact that they're able to _ men managed to get out? the fact that they're able to find _ men managed to get out? the fact that they're able to find a - men managed to get out? the fact that they're able to find a breach i that they're able to find a breach of early on. it is speculated that it took them up to a year to start digging this, but it was fundamentally that they found a way to get under the floor part of the seller below the toilet, basically. and then dig down and into that open space and under the prison wall and under the guards watchtower. another five prisoners as well as the sixth who escaped have been charged by the israelis with helping the escape and that includes getting rid of soil. so that gives you a sense ofjust how labourious the link to this process was but also how they manage to keep it secret and away from the israeli authorities. so, you did mark a huge embarrassment for the israelis they lodged a committee of inquiry into this. but it also opens up inquiry into this. but it also opens up the entire issue of imprisonment of palestinians from the occupied west bank and that has been a long time, a very controversial system. israel says it meets all relevant and international standards in that is condemned by rights groups because it's a military court system with a 99% conviction rate. as for these particular men, five of the six have been jailed these particular men, five of the six have beenjailed by israel from planning or carrying out deadly attacks on israelis as a story that goes back many years because one of the highest profile individuals was a man named zachary who was a palestinian militant leader during the second palestinian uprising. and was wanted by israel for many years for masterminding attacks on israelis, but was seen by many palestinians as being a resistance leader and a hero to them and their resistance. so the jailbreak and the fact that they were caught then was lifting the pressure from israel and the security forces and it was the news that palestinians had not wanted to hear and now, they're back in prison and that trial is under way and the appeared in court this morning. the way and the appeared in court this morninu. ., , _, way and the appeared in court this morninu. ., , morning. the military court system, how does that _ morning. the military court system, how does that differ _ morning. the military court system, how does that differ from _ morning. the military court system, how does that differ from israel's i how does that differ from israel's regular court system?

ever since israel has been occupying power| regular court system? ever since i israel has been occupying power in the west bank, it is used the system of military courts to try palestinians for what he calls security offences. for palestinians, there is a different system for less serious crimes that are carried out in trade under the court system of the palestinian authority and that was the limited version of self—government that was set up by the accords in the 905. but the point about the west bank is the offences that israel wants to detain people for, will try to use military judges and there aren'tjuries for example, but not of theirjuries in the israeli court systems, their civilians. the fundamental difference is this if israel tries its own citizens in the west bank, those in israeli settlements, they will be tried under the civilian court system, palestinians in the same territory effectively are tried under different system and many rights groups say that the system just isn't fair, it's two systems are to people but israel completely rejects that and says that it is a system that prevents attacks, given the situation, the security situation in the occupied territories.— situation in the occupied territories. �* , ., situation in the occupied territories. �* ., . territories. and there is an article about this- _ stay with us on outside source — still to come. the travel restrictions from the omicron varian. they say they are racist. a british teenager who was attacked by a crocodile while on holiday in zambia is recovering in hospital. 18—year—old amelie osborn—smith said she is �*very, very lucky�* to be alive. she was rafting on the zambezi river when the crocodile attacked. duncan kennedy reports. it�*s not many people who can say they�*ve escaped from a crocodile attack. but amelie osborn—smith has done that on a trip to zambia. she says her foot was in the croc�*s mouth. when the accident happened, i fully accepted the fact that i was going to lose my foot. 0k. i accepted that and i said to my friends it�*s fine, i�*ve lost my foot. i�*m still alive. crocodiles on the zambezi can grow to 18 feet long. amelie had been rafting with friends when she somehow ended up in the water. a number of people jumped into save her. people say that you see, like, your life flash before your eyes but you don�*t. you just think, "how do i get out of this situation?" and your brain just goes into overdrive and you just think how to get out. i was just very, very lucky. amelie�*s father, brett, told me the family are hugely relieved she�*s still alive and says she is now being treated in a london hospital. the boat had been hired from a company called bundu rafting. these some are of the shots from the website they use. in a statement they said "the group accompanying m5 osborn—smith "responded and brought m5 osborn—smith back into the raft. "what happened to m5 osborn—smith is an unfortunate accident, "the first of its kind to occur with bundu rafting." amelie says she doesn�*t regret the trip. it sounds so cliche to live thinking i�*m going to regret anything. i know i�*m going to have a fulflled life. ijust think, just do all you can. an investigation is taking place into how it happened. amelie says she just wants to return to zambia to thank those who saved her. duncan kennedy, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? the us have just the us havejust announced the us have just announced the government officials will not attend the olympics in beijing due to china�*s rights record. there is backlash against the uk�*s new travel restrictions on nigeria over the new omicron variant. under new rules — anyone arriving must enter hotel quarantine for ten days — at their own cost. we�*ve got lots of clips to play you — first the reaction from nigeria�*s high commissioner to london. we align ourselves with the position of the us secretary—general. and he has classified the selective ban because we are not dealing with an endemic, we are dealing with an endemic, we are dealing with an endemic that is selected countries, they�*ll be understandable. we are dealing with the pandemic. and this is the fourth varian. moreover, this variant was discovered in south africa is a mild varian. not hospitalisation. not death. in but will have expected of the countries of the world to do was to have a scientific investigation of the potency and they�*re all issues related to omicron variant. overnight, nigeria was put on england�*s �*red list�* of countries meaning all arrivals must enter hotel quarantine. there are 11 countries on the list. all of them are african. we heard nigeria�*s high commissioner there calling it racist — �*travel apartheid�*. the uk government sees this differently. this is the crime and policing minister kit malthouse. it is very unfortunate may wish to use. we understand the difficult is it is created on travel restrictions. we are trying to buy a bit of time so that our scientists can work on the virus and assess how difficult it is to cope with this as a country. the restrictions we have put in place for put in place for three weeks and then they will be reviewed but i hope people understand that we have to think about the safety of the british people first. do you agree with the announcement? travel bands from a single plates never make sense and by the time you have a variant, it is widespread we knew that the variance were cases even when the travel ban was announced. it does make sense to slowly try to do this, but across the board, not from a single country. and it�*s only when you take measures to reduce transmission within the country and you use that time that you�*ve bought to do something useful and prepare and certainly, we have increased booster roll—out but apart from that, we have are not really reduce transmission from within so even the case they get imported will lead to rapid spread and see if the question how much sense it makes to reduce imports and then not take measures to reduce community spread. but if there weren't _ to reduce community spread. but if there weren't more _ to reduce community spread. but if there weren't more mitigation put there weren�*t more mitigation put there, you are to support a wider travel ban? i there, you are to support a wider travel ban?— travel ban? i support travel quarantines _ travel ban? i support travel quarantines and _ travel ban? i support travel quarantines and screeningsj travel ban? i support travel. quarantines and screenings for travel ban? i support travel- quarantines and screenings for sure because there is very good evidence that quarantines due by time we have new variance in that time could be used for reducing transmission and freeing up hospital so she desperately need to do. but to say yes, were going to reduce cases but christmas parties by me incessantly no sense and needs evidence. find no sense and needs evidence. and what about — no sense and needs evidence. and what about the people were confused, do you remember back to india in the delta variant where there were huge calls for people to bring in a ban on travel from india. some of those same people are travelling these bands and south africa. do think there�*s an inconsistency here? i there's an inconsistency here? i think the evidence is very clear that you need approaches targeting one country definitely don�*t work. and it�*s very clear that the variant probably was spread here even before india announced the concern. and so. india announced the concern. and 50. talking about these bands in nigeria. denmark has hundred 83 cases of this that have been confirmed and so i think there is discriminatory behaviour going on here and it�*s not based on evidence by the same time, i do think quarantines are helpful but they do need to be comprehensive. targeting one country doesn�*t make any sense at all. the us will not send an official delegation to the games although they will still participate as normal. let�*s talk to the former marketing director of the international olympic committee. michael, good to have you here. how significant a move is this by the americans?— significant a move is this by the americans?
