BBC World Service - BBC OS, Russian Authorities Deny Doping Admission

Statement came after head of anti-doping agency admits 'institutional conspiracy'

Statement came after the acting head of Russia's anti-doping agency apparently admits 'institutional conspiracy' to the New York Times. Officials now say her words were misquoted. 

Also: Turkey and Russia agree a Syria-wide ceasefire - but reports say it does not apply to 'terrorist groups'. 

We look at Carrie Fisher's vast body of work, and the many tributes paid to her. 

Plus, BBC Vietnamese tell us the circumstances behind the illegal employment of thousands in Britain - after police raid nail bars and arrest almost 100 people.
