WHO accused of dishonesty over Olympics
The World Health Organisation has concluded that there is a very low risk of the international spread of the Zika virus, as a result of holding the Olympics in Brazil.
Amir Attaran, a professor of medicine at the University of Ottawa in Canada, is calling for the Rio Olympics to be moved or postponed.
He told presenter Ritula Shah he felt he WHO was being dishonest because they are not saying "the safest thing you can do is just not go".
