In this edition of The World This Week, we discuss the doping allegations hitting the headlines, and the ground offensive being undertaken by Kurdish pershmerga forces to take back Sinjar in Iraq. We also look at the differences between the late Helmut Schmidt's Europe and Chancellor Merkel's modern vision, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first visit to Britain in a decade.
