Olympic Update - Sochi 2014, London 2012
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev wants prosecutors to look into claims made by building contractor Valery Morozov, who told The Sunday Times he had paid $7 million to Vladimir Leschevsky, deputy head of the Kremlin's construction department, to secure a contract to build a luxury hotel.
A criminal inquiry has now been opened and Leshevsky has been suspended while two of his employers have been let go.
Meanwhile, in two years the London 2012 Paralympic Games begin and the countdown has started. There will be activities in and around London.
Those wishing to volunteer for the event have been asked to visit the official London 2012 website for information.
The volunteer program is inclusive and applications are welcome from across all communities. Those visually impaired or with disabilities are being actively sought.
