What is the main objective of having The olympics? Answer:
This policy has two main objectives:
• it strives to promote Olympic Games which respect the environment and meet the standards of sustainable development.
• it also aims to promote awareness among and educate the members of the Olympic family and sports practitioners in general of the importance of a healthy environment and sustainable development.
It is based on the principles enshrined in the The Olympic Charter (Chapter 1, The Olympic Movement and its Actions: Mission and Role of the IOC):
• to encourage and support a responsible concern for environmental issues, to promote sustainable development in sport and require that the Olympic Games are held accordingly; and
• to promote a positive legacy from the Olympic Games to the Host cities and the Host countries.
The IOC policy also finds its roots and scope in the Olympic Movement's agenda 21 which is another major reference document in this field.

Tornado Kills At Least 89
At least 89 people have been killed after a tornado strike in Joplin, Missouri — the deadliest since the Worcester Twister of 1953 — damaged or destroyed over 2,000 buildings (30% of the town), including St. John’s Regional Medical Center, one of Joplin’s two hospitals.
Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency, as the number of casualties was expected to rise. “I’ve been to about 75 disasters, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this before,” National Red Cross spokesman Michael Spencer told the AP. “It cut the city in half,” said Joplin fire chief Mitch Randles.
The same storm system produced 70 reported tornadoes across the Midwest, including a series of deadly tornado touchdowns in the Twin Cities, which killed at least one person in Minneapolis and caused widespread damage and power outages in surrounding communities.
