:00:07. > :00:11.31 athletes test positive after samples from the Beijing Olympics

:00:12. > :00:19."a powerful strike against the cheats".

:00:20. > :00:23.Those accused could now be banned from competing in Rio.

:00:24. > :00:26.A wave of bombs hit Baghdad, killing 69 as the government

:00:27. > :00:37.Now oil workers are forced to evacuate as the wildfires

:00:38. > :00:43.And boiling over - a decision to scrap the BBC's Food

:00:44. > :00:46.website has been met with fury and a petition against

:00:47. > :01:00.the plans attracting more than 100,000 signatures.

:01:01. > :01:03.It's the latest blow to the credibility of anti-doping

:01:04. > :01:06.authorities, and one that raises many questions.

:01:07. > :01:09.Up to 31 athletes from 12 countries could be banned

:01:10. > :01:12.from the Rio Olympics after NEW tests were done on samples

:01:13. > :01:15.from the Beijing Games eight years ago.

:01:16. > :01:18.Ever since the recent doping scandals, sporting bodies have been

:01:19. > :01:21.re-testing old samples using the latest technology.

:01:22. > :01:24.With the results from the London and Sochi Games still to come,

:01:25. > :01:28.it raises the possibility that medals and even world records

:01:29. > :01:37.could be called into question. Richard Conway reports.

:01:38. > :01:40.Antique and rules allow stored urine and samples to be retested for up

:01:41. > :01:45.to ten years after being taken from an athlete.

:01:46. > :01:47.Samples from 454 competitors who took place in the 2008

:01:48. > :01:50.Beijing Olympics have now been subjected to the latest scientific

:01:51. > :01:52.methods to test for any banned substances that went undetected

:01:53. > :01:56.As a result, 31 athletes could be banned from competing at this

:01:57. > :02:01.The IOC say they targeted athletes taking part in Beijing

:02:02. > :02:05.who are likely to reappear at the summer's event.

:02:06. > :02:08.Other Olympic Games are also in focus.

:02:09. > :02:12.Back in 2012, the Olympic Stadium here in London was the centre point

:02:13. > :02:15.for a lot of the drama, but 250 samples from those games

:02:16. > :02:22.Thomas Bach, the president of the IOC, has called the measures

:02:23. > :02:28.The identities of the 31 athletes are, for now, unknown,

:02:29. > :02:32.given that formal disciplinary processes are underway.

:02:33. > :02:36.What is disappointing, certainly for athletes who compete

:02:37. > :02:39.clean and for the public is, they are beginning to get confused

:02:40. > :02:42.about what they are really seeing, because if it takes us ten years

:02:43. > :02:47.in order to sort out whether or not somebody deserves that medal,

:02:48. > :02:51.that's a very long time in sport, and so many things well have

:02:52. > :02:57.happened, so many other athletes will have been denied.

:02:58. > :03:01.Russian athletes will next month learn if they can compete

:03:02. > :03:03.in this summer's games, following the international ban

:03:04. > :03:05.handed down for what was described as state-sponsored doping

:03:06. > :03:09.The IOC may well hope this latest retrospective action will send

:03:10. > :03:12.the message they are very serious about catching those who dope,

:03:13. > :03:24.Chris Mitchell joins us live from the BBC Sports Centre.

:03:25. > :03:32.Chris, after all these years, how is it that athletes could be caught out

:03:33. > :03:38.now? Well, as Richard alluded to, this is really science catching up

:03:39. > :03:42.with the dopers, if you like. The IOC tries to give it as much time as

:03:43. > :03:47.possible to use those frozen test samples it took from the games to

:03:48. > :03:50.find the dopers. So basically, it freezes them, keeps them in

:03:51. > :03:53.Switzerland, where they are based, and tests than when any new

:03:54. > :03:58.technology comes about. This is what happened is that what has happened

:03:59. > :04:03.now. Beijing in 2008, eight years ago, comes within its parameters.

:04:04. > :04:08.They have tested 450 odd samples, and found 31 discrepancies, the same

:04:09. > :04:12.is happening with the London games, and also, interestingly, with Sochi

:04:13. > :04:18.as well. So we don't know who these 31, but they won't be the only ones.

:04:19. > :04:23.That is looking pretty certain. What action can the IOC now take?

:04:24. > :04:28.If these people are found to have cheated, they will be banned from

:04:29. > :04:32.Rio, and they could have their medals, if they won medals in

:04:33. > :04:36.Beijing, stripped from them, so you could find that models are handed to

:04:37. > :04:40.athletes who thought at the time they did not win. It is adjusting,

:04:41. > :04:43.because we are talking about this now, and an athlete we heard from in

:04:44. > :04:50.this piece said it takes too long. The IOC want to do that would prove

:04:51. > :04:53.here, with the Kenyan and Russian scandals and allegations going on,

:04:54. > :04:57.that they are on the front foot, doing something proactive about

:04:58. > :05:02.this, trying to get a poacher out there into the dopers early on

:05:03. > :05:06.before Rio comes about. Rio will begin a couple of months, and the

:05:07. > :05:10.IOC will love to be in a situation where they can say, we have dealt

:05:11. > :05:15.with the dopers. But all they can do at the moment is look at these 31,

:05:16. > :05:20.if they are hoping to be in Rio, well, they will not be. The first

:05:21. > :05:22.course of action the IOC will take will be to ban them.

:05:23. > :05:27.We don't have any details about these competitors yet. When might we

:05:28. > :05:32.know more? There are 12 nations here. The IOC

:05:33. > :05:38.said those 31 athletes will be contacted in the coming days. It may

:05:39. > :05:42.be that the athletes themselves know who they are. It may be that some of

:05:43. > :05:46.this information in the coming days leaks out. It is very unusual for

:05:47. > :05:50.the IOC to have told us that such information. 31 athletes, 12

:05:51. > :05:55.nations, lots of clues out there, and there will be people out there

:05:56. > :06:00.now looking at who won medals in Beijing and who could possibly be

:06:01. > :06:05.competing in Rio. There are not too many. Already, the names have been

:06:06. > :06:08.narrowed down to a list, not a list that we will mention here, but it is

:06:09. > :06:17.not hard to work out. Thank you very much, Chris Mitchell.

:06:18. > :06:20.Militants have yet again targeted Iraq's capital Baghdad in another

:06:21. > :06:23.wave of bombings. Outdoor markets and a restaurant in Shia dominated

:06:24. > :06:25.areas where hit, with more than 70 people dying.

:06:26. > :06:27.The Islamic State group said it was responsible

:06:28. > :06:30.for the deadliest bombing, as Jim Muir reports from Baghdad.

:06:31. > :06:39.There are growing concerns about the ability of Iraq's dysfunctional

:06:40. > :06:41.government to keep the areas of control so.

:06:42. > :06:49.The first and most deadly attack hit a street market in this district of

:06:50. > :06:53.Baghdad, a densely Shia populated area. So-called Islamic State said

:06:54. > :06:55.one of their suicide bombers blew himself up here, and claimed the

:06:56. > :07:00.attack was aimed at Shia militia men. That is not what the people

:07:01. > :07:03.here said. This survivor said he hid under a table, and rescuers took

:07:04. > :07:07.away body parts of shoppers who were no longer recognisable. There was

:07:08. > :07:13.much anger at the random nature of the attack.

:07:14. > :07:18.TRANSLATION: The explosion here killed a woman. And her brother and

:07:19. > :07:22.her niece, as well as of the people who just came here to shop. What

:07:23. > :07:26.crime have these innocent people committed? Across town on the East

:07:27. > :07:29.side of Baghdad, there was anger as well in the sprawling Shia suburb

:07:30. > :07:34.called Sadr City. This was the aftermath of a big

:07:35. > :07:38.suicide car bomber poison, which took many lives. Sadr City has

:07:39. > :07:42.frequently been the subject of such provocative attacks by the sunny

:07:43. > :07:45.militants. Another suicide bomber struck shortly after this attack

:07:46. > :07:50.nearby. This is the second blast inside. The

:07:51. > :07:53.other blast was outside a restaurant Al sparing the city. We are fed up

:07:54. > :07:57.with this violence. With bombs going off on busy streets

:07:58. > :08:01.like there is virtually every day, the Iraqi authorities and western

:08:02. > :08:05.coalition, which is fighting IS, say they believe it is because the

:08:06. > :08:08.militants are losing so much ground on the battlefield. They say they

:08:09. > :08:13.have lost nearly half the territory they control at the height of their

:08:14. > :08:16.expansion nearly two years ago. That is little consolation for the

:08:17. > :08:19.survivors of these increasingly frequent bomb attacks in Baghdad,

:08:20. > :08:25.and for the friends and families of those who died. There is mounting

:08:26. > :08:28.anger here, not just at the militants who did it, but the

:08:29. > :08:30.country's feuding politicians for failing to protect the public.

:08:31. > :08:32.Across the Iraqi border in Syria, a shaky truce

:08:33. > :08:35.is giving little peace - and today 20 foreign ministers

:08:36. > :08:38.meeting in Vienna failed to agree on any new date for peace talks

:08:39. > :08:48.There WAS a commitment to push through humanitarian aid deliveries,

:08:49. > :08:51.There WAS a commitment to push through humanitarian aid deliveries.

:08:52. > :08:53.This is how the US Secretary of State, John Kerry,

:08:54. > :08:57.The challenge that we face now is to transform these possibilities

:08:58. > :09:00.into the reality of an agreement at some point, and because of

:09:01. > :09:05.the gains that we have made in recent months,

:09:06. > :09:11.yet because of their fragility, and we acknowledge they're fragile,

:09:12. > :09:15.and increasingly threatened by irresponsible and dangerous

:09:16. > :09:20.actions taken by those who would rather have this effort

:09:21. > :09:23.fail, who want to create problems because rather than solutions,

:09:24. > :09:31.And there are frankly actors on both sides.

:09:32. > :09:34.One outcome from those discussions on Syria is an agreement that any

:09:35. > :09:36.party breaching the current truce will be expelled from

:09:37. > :09:42.The BBC's Bethany Bell has more from Vienna.

:09:43. > :09:44.The international community is trying to change

:09:45. > :09:46.the shaky truce in Syria into something more comprehensive.

:09:47. > :09:52.It's announced a number of rather modest measures.

:09:53. > :09:56.They say they'll set up a task force to monitor the truce,

:09:57. > :10:00.and that anybody who breaches it will be expelled from the peace

:10:01. > :10:04.process, and they've also announced measures in terms of humanitarian

:10:05. > :10:11.They say that if they can't reach those areas by ground before

:10:12. > :10:14.the beginning of June, the World Food Programme will

:10:15. > :10:23.These are all part of movements to try to encourage the opposition

:10:24. > :10:29.to return to indirect peace talks which have been ongoing in Geneva,

:10:30. > :10:31.because back in the last round of talks in April,

:10:32. > :10:35.the opposition said it was suspending its participation

:10:36. > :10:39.because it was concerned about the mounting violence

:10:40. > :10:43.in Syria, and about the lack of humanitarian aid.

:10:44. > :10:47.The Russian Foreign Minister, speaking here in Vienna,

:10:48. > :10:51.said that all parties had to compromise when it came

:10:52. > :10:56.to the political aspects of peace talks, but at the moment,

:10:57. > :11:00.they're still very, very big divisions which remain,

:11:01. > :11:04.not the least being the fate of the Syrian President

:11:05. > :11:09.The opposition, and its supporters like Saudi Arabia and the West,

:11:10. > :11:12.saying he has to go, but Russia and Iran

:11:13. > :11:21.Thousands of workers in the Canadian oil industry have been advised

:11:22. > :11:24.to leave areas near Fort McMurray in Alberta because of a renewed

:11:25. > :11:29.The blaze began more than two weeks ago and is currently about 250

:11:30. > :11:41.At the height of the fire in Fort McMurray, more than

:11:42. > :11:44.80,000 of the city's residents were forced to flee.

:11:45. > :11:46.The area in red shows the worst affected part.

:11:47. > :11:49.Now, even more people have been urged to leave oil sands camps

:11:50. > :11:51.between the city and Fort McKay to the north.

:11:52. > :11:53.We'll speak to one of the evacuees shortly,

:11:54. > :11:56.but first, this report from Rajini Vaidyanathan.

:11:57. > :11:59.Dense clouds of smoke can be seen from the skies

:12:00. > :12:05.The worst of the wildfires is not yet over.

:12:06. > :12:08.12,000 oil workers, who had been based just north of the city,

:12:09. > :12:13.These oil-rich lands are once again under threat.

:12:14. > :12:16.Winds have pushed the fires back towards the city.

:12:17. > :12:20.The big factor for folks that are on site is that they will see

:12:21. > :12:22.very, very heavy, dark smoke and that will obviously

:12:23. > :12:27.Heavy smoke is probably the biggest issue right now.

:12:28. > :12:30.This is one of Canada's worst natural disasters.

:12:31. > :12:36.The dangers centred in Alberta province in and around

:12:37. > :12:39.the city of Fort McMurray, where fires raged two weeks ago.

:12:40. > :12:42.Now the area between Timberlea and Fort McKay, where big oil

:12:43. > :12:49.The devastating wildfires have already turned the vibrant city

:12:50. > :12:57.90,000 residents, who called this place home, could now wait even

:12:58. > :13:06.Roughly a million barrels a day of crude oil will be lost

:13:07. > :13:07.because operations have shut down here.

:13:08. > :13:10.But with more than a dozen fires continuing to burn, this

:13:11. > :13:20.disaster is costing Canada in more ways than one.

:13:21. > :13:23.BJ Spears is a steam fitter, usually working in the oil sands

:13:24. > :13:27.BJ Spears is a steam fitter, usually working in the oil sands

:13:28. > :13:31.He's been evacuated and is now 70 kilometres north of the city.

:13:32. > :13:35.Tell us what has happened to you. It really has been one thing after

:13:36. > :13:39.another? Yes, I have been evacuated two weeks

:13:40. > :13:45.ago. I got a phone call to return to work, so I showed up, completed a

:13:46. > :13:48.night shift, and then the next night, I woke up to complete

:13:49. > :13:54.darkness in the middle of the day. Smoke and ashes. We have been

:13:55. > :13:58.evacuated now, 40 kilometres north of that camp. We're just waiting on

:13:59. > :14:02.word to see what happens next. So you went to one camp, went back

:14:03. > :14:07.to work, and had to leave again and go even further north?

:14:08. > :14:11.That's right. The wind continues to blow from the south, pushing north,

:14:12. > :14:13.and unfortunately, the fire and the smoke has just followed right behind

:14:14. > :14:19.us. And what is it like there? How many

:14:20. > :14:23.are you, and what I conditions like? Right now, it think this camp holds

:14:24. > :14:28.about 2000 people, and it seems to be pretty full right now. We are

:14:29. > :14:32.being told to hang tight and wait for further instruction.

:14:33. > :14:36.And at one point, you must have thought all the drama was over, and

:14:37. > :14:40.then it started all over again. Yes, when we got the call to come

:14:41. > :14:44.back to work, we were assured that there was a brake in the weather, a

:14:45. > :14:50.break in the smoke, so it was a good time to come back, but it doesn't

:14:51. > :14:55.take long, once the wind turns around. It doesn't take long to blow

:14:56. > :14:59.the smoking. How safe do you feel there? What are you being told about

:15:00. > :15:05.how long you have to stay? I feel safe now, because you can't

:15:06. > :15:08.see the flames, but it is just a matter of time, with the wind. We're

:15:09. > :15:14.finding out now that one of the camps that was evacuated last night,

:15:15. > :15:18.just down the road from where I was, it is now on fire, so I mean, it is

:15:19. > :15:22.coming. And there must be no sense of

:15:23. > :15:28.normality? You are stuck in a sort of limbo after all this time?

:15:29. > :15:33.Yes, yes. It is very intimidating. You see about it on the news, and it

:15:34. > :15:36.is what we have dealt with for the last two weeks, and it just feels

:15:37. > :15:38.like there is no end in sight. It really doesn't feel like it is

:15:39. > :15:42.getting any better. Did you manage to take any

:15:43. > :15:46.belongings with you, or is it all happening so quickly?

:15:47. > :15:51.I managed to, just because I was on night shifts, so I happen to be in

:15:52. > :15:53.camp ennui had the evacuation, but a lot of friends of mine were working

:15:54. > :15:57.day shifts, and couldn't make it back to camp in time to grab

:15:58. > :16:00.anything, so they have been wearing the same clothes for a couple of

:16:01. > :16:06.days now. I had to give my friend some of my clothing to wear. I had

:16:07. > :16:09.to give him some shampoo and some toothpaste as well.

:16:10. > :16:14.So it is pretty uncomfortable conditions in that sense. And you

:16:15. > :16:18.described what it was like earlier, that day turned into night,

:16:19. > :16:21.completely black? Yes, it was unbelievable. Like

:16:22. > :16:28.something you would see in a movie. It was 3pm, usually, sunshine and

:16:29. > :16:31.birds chirping, you know, but it was almost like it was midnight. It was

:16:32. > :16:37.completely dark. Ash was falling from the sky, smoke so thick it

:16:38. > :16:43.would burn your eyes, and was burning your throat.

:16:44. > :16:46.Poor, poor conditions. Do you have enough information, or do you feel

:16:47. > :16:50.you don't really know when this will come to an end?

:16:51. > :16:57.No, they are kind of making a plan now. It is hard when there are 2000

:16:58. > :17:01.people here to get us all moved, and there are other evacuees at the

:17:02. > :17:05.camps as well. They figure there are about 4000 of us needing to get out

:17:06. > :17:09.of here. Thank you very much. We wish you all

:17:10. > :17:11.the best. Thank you for talking to us at that camp in the north of

:17:12. > :17:12.Canada. Now a look at some of

:17:13. > :17:14.the day's other news. The European Crime Agency Europol

:17:15. > :17:17.says it estimates that organised crime groups made between five

:17:18. > :17:19.and six billion dollars last year The agency says human trafficking

:17:20. > :17:23.is now one of the main sources French riot police clashed

:17:24. > :17:29.with protesters in cities including Nantes and Marseilles,

:17:30. > :17:33.as opponents of controversial labour reforms embarked on a fresh wave

:17:34. > :17:37.of strikes and marches. Water-cannon and tear gas were used

:17:38. > :17:39.against demonstrators who hurled crowd-control barriers and glass

:17:40. > :17:43.bottles at police. Union members were urged to bring

:17:44. > :17:48.the entire transport system Kenya's police chief has ordered

:17:49. > :17:50.an investigation after policemen were filmed beating a protester

:17:51. > :17:52.as they broke up a demonstration organised by the main opposition

:17:53. > :17:54.coalition on Monday. Three officers could be seen

:17:55. > :17:59.kicking and hitting a man, Ten gay rights activists in Georgia

:18:00. > :18:13.have been arrested for painting Gay rights are a battle ground

:18:14. > :18:16.around the world, and the former Soviet republic of Georgia, the

:18:17. > :18:19.issue is especially controversial. Despite their country's lean towards

:18:20. > :18:24.the West, many Georgians remained deeply conservative, and gay rights

:18:25. > :18:27.supporters have been attacked. On Tuesday, ten activists were arrested

:18:28. > :18:30.for painting rainbow graffiti on the side of an Orthodox church building,

:18:31. > :18:32.where church members were holding an event.

:18:33. > :18:38.The BBC's Rayhan Demytrie went to their main event in Tbilisi.

:18:39. > :18:39.You can see this procession, organised

:18:40. > :18:42.There are hundreds of supporters behind.

:18:43. > :18:44.They are marching towards the Holy Trinity Church.

:18:45. > :18:48.Today, they are marking what they call a day of family

:18:49. > :18:52.values, which was established here in 2014 in opposition

:18:53. > :18:58.to the International Day Against Homophobia,

:18:59. > :19:09.A very short walk away from here in a hotel, an American

:19:10. > :19:11.conservative organisation is holding its annual congress,

:19:12. > :19:16.This organisation is against abortions, against contraception,

:19:17. > :19:20.and of course, they are against any sort of laws or policies that

:19:21. > :19:27.Why all of this is happening here in Georgia?

:19:28. > :19:30.Because homophobia is a massive issue here.

:25:10. > :25:13.helps and there may be a sense that these concessions are the start

:25:14. > :25:19.of a process of negotiation. And, this evening, the BBC has now

:25:20. > :25:23.said that, following the uproar, they will accelerate the transfer

:25:24. > :25:45.of content to BBC Good Food. Well, while David 's report was
