From San Francisco, California, the new Home of the Homeless.
People from San Francisco were telling me for years, Hey,
Santa Monica has got nothing us. Well, turns out that
we're right. I'm Harry Shearer. Welcome you to this edition
of the show. And now, ladies and Gentlemen News of
the Olympic Movement produced by Jim Aversol Junior Well the IOC,
(02:20):
the International Olympic Committee, is fighting back against inaccuracies in
the world's media. The January twenty seventh edition of The
Boston Globe had a strong rebuke from the communications director
of the IOC on its letters page. Mark Adams wrote
the letter in response to an editorial that called the
IOC quote chronically corrupt. Adams listed a number of the
(02:44):
IOC's practice, including redistributing ninety percent of its revenues, voting
for a compliance director, and opening its books to an
international auditing firm. These inaccurate descriptions of the IOC often
go unchallenged, Adams said, Increasingly, we've decided to challenge such
views head on with the facts. Perhaps one reason for
(03:04):
the letter is that Boston's bid opposition to the Olympics
has received more attention. The newspaper has repeatedly been critical
of the Olympic bid. To be sure, we would take
the same action whether such a claim was repeated in Boston, Rome, Berlin,
or Hamburg, or anywhere in the world's media, Adams said, Rome,
(03:27):
Hamburg and Berlin may be bidding for twenty twenty four.
It is important for the reputation of the Olympic movement.
He said that we counted these opinions with the real story,
like the salaries of the members of the Olympic Committee,
you think the IOC did shoot down a suggestion by
a Saudi Arabian official this week that the ultra conservative
(03:49):
nation could seek to co host the Olympics with neighboring
Bahrain by having male and female athletes compete in separate countries.
Prince Fahad bin Jawali Chalawi al Saud, a consultant to
the president of the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee, told a
French Olympic website that a resolution passed by the IOC
(04:10):
could open the door for a possible joint bid with
men's events on Saudi territory and women's competitions in Bauerrain,
but the IOC president Thomas Bach quickly dismissed the idea
in a statement to the AP, saying Saudi Arabia would
be an ineligible to bid for the Olympics unless it
complies with rules barring discrimination against women in sports. Saudi
(04:30):
women are largely unable to access sports because there are
ally and they like freedom. I'm sorry, including in public
schools where physical education is not on the curriculum for girls.
The Saudi sent a male only team to last year's
Age in Asian Games in South Korea. Rio Olympic organizers
said this week they have no plan B for the
(04:52):
twenty sixteen game sailing competitions, despite the recent admission by
the state's top environmental official it will be impossible to
meet pledges to clean up the raw sewage
