00:00So I'm wondering whether you have watched the opening ceremony rehearsal and 105 athletes

00:27that have served a doping ban.

00:30...for the Israel Olympic Association and really what steps have been taken around security

00:35in the team.

00:36All I can say at this stage is it's a great proposal but it will be on the agenda on Wednesday

00:42and I can't pre-empt that.

00:45Obviously the difficult political situation at the moment makes things a little bit more

00:49difficult, but that conversation is happening even now.

00:53We still have some working days left to go, so I would urge you to wait until then when

01:02there will be something presented.

01:07This will blow your socks off I think is a nice polite English saying, but it is amazing.

01:13For obvious reasons I'm not going to go into any of the content, but it will be pretty

01:18stunning and very, very televisual as you can only imagine in the centre of Paris.

01:24We have been in contact with the Israeli National Olympic Committee, we're actually in contact

01:28with all 206 every day, and threats happen to athletes on a regular basis.

01:35We do understand obviously the Israeli athletes are receiving more, there are a number of

01:39safeguarding practices that we put in place straight away together with the NRC to make

01:44sure that those are dealt with.

01:46Equally we can see the incredible excitement in the streets, in the public towards these

01:51games, more than 8.8 million tickets sold, which is an incredible number for these games,

01:57the most ever for a sport event.
