David Cameron's resignation Honours List - Downing Street says

:00:00.:00:07.

Theresa May won't intervene, despite claims it

:00:08.:00:10.

On leaving Number Ten, Mr Cameron has nominated political

:00:11.:00:15.

Friends say he's rewarding people who've given service.

:00:16.:00:21.

When you think about it, providing these honours, actually,

:00:22.:00:25.

I do not believe in honours for politicians who are in office,

:00:26.:00:33.

because I think to be in office, to be elected to Parliament,

:00:34.:00:36.

to a council or anywhere else is an honour itself.

:00:37.:00:40.

We'll be looking at the names on the list and at the controversy

:00:41.:00:43.

Also tonight, Britain's biggest rogue trader tells the BBC he thinks

:00:44.:00:57.

the City culture encourages traders to break the law.

:00:58.:01:00.

The man who tried to behead a passenger at a London tube station

:01:01.:01:07.

Why a row over deporting illegal workers won't go away

:01:08.:01:17.

And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: David Moyes says stability

:01:18.:01:21.

is the main priority for Sunderland, after their recent battles with

:01:22.:01:24.

Downing Street has said Theresa May will not block David Cameron's

:01:25.:01:53.

resignation Honours List, stating it would set

:01:54.:01:55.

a very bad precedent if she interfered with his choices,

:01:56.:01:58.

A list, leaked to the Sunday Times, claimed Mr Cameron had chosen

:01:59.:02:04.

to reward Remain campaigners, donors, and Number Ten staff -

:02:05.:02:07.

including his wife Samantha's advisor and stylist.

:02:08.:02:11.

Supporters of Mr Cameron have said he was simply recognising people

:02:12.:02:13.

who'd served both him and the nation.

:02:14.:02:16.

Our political correspondent, Vicki Young, reports.

:02:17.:02:20.

David Cameron's departure from Downing Street was more sudden

:02:21.:02:23.

Many who'd been by his side during those

:02:24.:02:29.

six years at the top watched, as he made his final speech outside

:02:30.:02:32.

Number Ten, after the dramatic loss of the EU referendum.

:02:33.:02:36.

And I want to thank everyone who's given so much support

:02:37.:02:38.

Mr Cameron is preparing to thank some of his closest allies through

:02:39.:02:47.

his resignation Honours List and it's proving controversial.

:02:48.:02:53.

It's the Royal Family who actually hand out

:02:54.:02:55.

the OBEs, MBEs and knighthoods, part a system designed to recognise

:02:56.:02:58.

people who've made achievements in public life or committed themselves

:02:59.:03:01.

But on this occasion, David Cameron's

:03:02.:03:08.

According to the Sunday Times, the names on the Honours List

:03:09.:03:14.

include two donors, Ian Taylor and Andrew Cook, who gave millions

:03:15.:03:18.

to the Conservative Party and the Remain side of the EU campaign.

:03:19.:03:21.

A key member of that losing Remain team,

:03:22.:03:24.

Will Straw, son of former Labour Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw.

:03:25.:03:29.

Samantha Cameron's executive assistant, Isabel Spearman, who some

:03:30.:03:33.

claim helped organised her diary and styled her hair.

:03:34.:03:37.

And four Cabinet ministers, including Philip Hammond

:03:38.:03:40.

and Michael Fallon, who all backed Remain.

:03:41.:03:44.

Labour have accused Mr Cameron of cronyism.

:03:45.:03:47.

I'm sure he's got a lot of mates that need rewarding.

:03:48.:03:50.

I want to see an honours system that's fair, is open, is more

:03:51.:03:55.

democratic and people can nominate to it.

:03:56.:03:59.

I do not believe in honours for politicians who are in office.

:04:00.:04:04.

A British yachtswoman, Tracy Edwards, who received an MBE

:04:05.:04:08.

after skippering the first all-female crew around the world

:04:09.:04:11.

said honours should be for ordinary people.

:04:12.:04:14.

I think they're devalued, when they're handed out

:04:15.:04:17.

like this and it's seen as cronyism, honours for my mates, which this has

:04:18.:04:20.

It devalues it for people like me, because I find

:04:21.:04:26.

Someone said to me, "Do you want to give yours back?"

:04:27.:04:32.

We're leaving Downing Street, for the last time.

:04:33.:04:37.

Mr Cameron's not the last Prime Minister to draw up

:04:38.:04:40.

In 1990, Margaret Thatcher gave gongs to a newspaper

:04:41.:04:45.

John Major rewarded several Conservative MPs and staff.

:04:46.:04:50.

Tony Blair didn't have such a list, when he left office,

:04:51.:04:52.

but he'd previously been engulfed in a cash-for-honours scandal.

:04:53.:04:56.

The British people have spoken and the answer is we're out...

:04:57.:05:00.

Mr Cameron has been criticised by the former Ukip leader, Nigel

:05:01.:05:03.

Farage, who was on the winning side in the EU referendum.

:05:04.:05:05.

He said the list contained too many rewards for failure.

:05:06.:05:08.

But others say staff deserve recognition.

:05:09.:05:11.

These people will have worked, as I say, under

:05:12.:05:15.

intense pressure in Number Ten, where everything is required

:05:16.:05:18.

You don't leave, at the end of the day.

:05:19.:05:26.

It's an extraordinary environment and atmosphere.

:05:27.:05:28.

And over the years, over six years in Downing Street,

:05:29.:05:31.

the Prime Minister will have built up a huge debt of gratitude.

:05:32.:05:35.

The new Prime Minister, Theresa May has ruled out

:05:36.:05:37.

Downing Street said it would set a very bad precedent.

:05:38.:05:44.

And we can speak to Vicki at Westminster now.

:05:45.:05:47.

These claims will boost those who think the honours system needs

:05:48.:05:53.

reform. Yes, that's right. The accusations thrown at the

:05:54.:05:56.

Westminster establishment often is that you're all in it for

:05:57.:05:59.

yourselves. This probably won't help very much. Political honours over

:06:00.:06:03.

the years have always cause aid stir, Prime Ministers accused of

:06:04.:06:07.

rewarding very wealthy donors or putting their chums into the House

:06:08.:06:11.

of Lords. There will be some people looking at this today saying yes

:06:12.:06:14.

those people in Downing Street might have worked very long hours but they

:06:15.:06:18.

earn high salaries and they're simply being rewarded for doing the

:06:19.:06:22.

job that they were supposed to. There are MPs too who are worried

:06:23.:06:27.

about undermining the entire system and really devaluing the thousands

:06:28.:06:30.

of rewards which are given out to people around the country, many of

:06:31.:06:33.

whom work for charities, work very hard for not very much money,

:06:34.:06:38.

similar fly make their communities a better -- simply to make their

:06:39.:06:41.

communities a better place. The calls for reform will continue but

:06:42.:06:44.

there isn't much sign anything's going to change. Vicky, thank you.

:06:45.:06:48.

He was the rogue trader jailed for Britain's

:06:49.:06:50.

biggest ever banking fraud, losing his Swiss bank ?1.5 billion.

:06:51.:06:53.

Kweku Adoboli has now left prison and has given his first interview.

:06:54.:06:56.

Speaking to the BBC, he said he was sorry for his actions

:06:57.:06:59.

but claimed that crimes like his could happen again,

:07:00.:07:01.

as bankers are under pressure to make profits "no matter what".

:07:02.:07:03.

Our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed, has this exclusive report.

:07:04.:07:09.

He became the very public face of the worst excesses of banking,

:07:10.:07:13.

jailed and forever known as the biggest rogue trader

:07:14.:07:16.

One of the difficult things about coming out of

:07:17.:07:23.

prison is that there is a lot of work, to rebuild your life...

:07:24.:07:27.

Today, four years after his conviction,

:07:28.:07:29.

He is dependent on friends, for support.

:07:30.:07:34.

I began by asking him what caused that first step on a

:07:35.:07:37.

We started, you know, trying to spread

:07:38.:07:43.

Because, in 2009, we were being asked by our

:07:44.:07:49.

As we got through 2010 and 2011, as we were generating more profits,

:07:50.:07:56.

we started to be told to spread our wings even more.

:07:57.:08:01.

So, you know, we would get e-mails coming through

:08:02.:08:05.

The court heard dramatic evidence of that hunt for revenue.

:08:06.:08:12.

Fictitious accounts, secret slush funds, he was called

:08:13.:08:15.

the master fraudster, out of control as bets on the market

:08:16.:08:19.

went wrong and he tried to hide increasing losses.

:08:20.:08:22.

Britain's biggest ever fraud, jail for the rogue city trader who lost

:08:23.:08:27.

Kweku Adoboli was sentenced to seven years in prison.

:08:28.:08:34.

I have apologised and I will continue apologising.

:08:35.:08:39.

I am devastated, not for myself, but for my institution

:08:40.:08:45.

These are not just devices, it's how I feel, I failed.

:08:46.:08:50.

I was called a liar and I accept that I lied, I accept that

:08:51.:08:58.

I was dishonest in the way I was doing things.

:08:59.:09:00.

Looking back now, do you think of yourself

:09:01.:09:02.

I made a sequence of terrible choices.

:09:03.:09:16.

But your intentions were always in the

:09:17.:09:19.

I accept I was found guilty of a crime.

:09:20.:09:26.

This is One Finsbury Avenue in Central London, the home

:09:27.:09:28.

of UBS Equities Trading and where Kweku Adoboli used to work.

:09:29.:09:31.

Since 2012 and his conviction, across the banking sector, has

:09:32.:09:34.

Yes, there are thousands more compliance officers,

:09:35.:09:39.

yes, there are thousands more pages of regulation.

:09:40.:09:41.

But, at its simplest, banking is a mixture

:09:42.:09:44.

Has behaviour changed in banking, enough?

:09:45.:09:54.

The young people I have spoken to, former colleagues I have spoken

:09:55.:10:02.

to, are still struggling with the same issues.

:10:03.:10:05.

This is a book, sort of, a scrapbook I had in prison, actually...

:10:06.:10:16.

Looking back, Kweku Adoboli older now, maybe

:10:17.:10:19.

wiser, can never work in banking, again.

:10:20.:10:22.

It would be wonderful if we could turn the page

:10:23.:10:27.

For Kweku Adoboli, a new legal battle.

:10:28.:10:45.

He is fighting extradition back to where he was born, Ghana.

:10:46.:10:48.

He says he has something to offer the UK, giving advice on encouraging

:10:49.:10:51.

traders away from criminal behaviour.

:10:52.:10:56.

A mentally ill man, who tried to behead a musician in an attack

:10:57.:11:03.

at a tube station in London, has been jailed for life.

:11:04.:11:06.

Muhiddin Mire, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia,

:11:07.:11:08.

targeted passers-by at random - saying the attacks were

:11:09.:11:11.

Our home affairs correspondent, June Kelly, has been

:11:12.:11:16.

It was the start of a Saturday night when Muhiddin Mire ran amok,

:11:17.:11:24.

Here, he was following musician Lyle Zimmerman,

:11:25.:11:30.

who was on his way to a gig, laden with instruments

:11:31.:11:34.

In the ticket hall, he pounced on him.

:11:35.:11:39.

Lyle Zimmerman spoke to the BBC today, he isn't showing his face,

:11:40.:11:42.

because he doesn't want what happened to him

:11:43.:11:44.

I remember being punched and kicked on the ground and then I lost

:11:45.:11:50.

I found myself being looked after, expertly, by a junior doctor.

:11:51.:11:58.

As he lay unconscious, Mire had slashed his throat.

:11:59.:12:04.

He shouted that he was going to spill blood,

:12:05.:12:08.

I feel that he's been suffering from mental health

:12:09.:12:16.

I'm not at all interested in retribution.

:12:17.:12:25.

Mire was finally brought under control by police,

:12:26.:12:28.

This simple response went viral on social media and was

:12:29.:12:39.

I don't feel traumatised by the event.

:12:40.:12:48.

It seems to me the people who have had significantly tragic outcomes

:12:49.:12:51.

from this incident are mostly Mr Mire and his family

:12:52.:12:54.

and I feel nothing but pity for them.

:12:55.:13:01.

Today, the judge said Mire had been motivated by Muslims being bombed

:13:02.:13:04.

He had images relating to so-called Islamic State on his phone.

:13:05.:13:11.

He will serve a minimum of eight-and-a-half years.

:13:12.:13:14.

And will start his sentence in Broadmoor High Security Hospital.

:13:15.:13:18.

A brief look at some of the day's other news stories.

:13:19.:13:26.

Health authorities in America have advised pregnant women not to go

:13:27.:13:28.

to a neighbourhood in Miami, where 14 cases of the Zika virus

:13:29.:13:31.

An emergency response team from Washington is being sent

:13:32.:13:36.

to Florida to help combat Zika, which has been linked

:13:37.:13:39.

A Russian military helicopter has been shot down in Syria,

:13:40.:13:46.

The Defence Ministry says the crew were returning to their base

:13:47.:13:52.

after delivering humanitarian aid to the city of Aleppo.

:13:53.:13:55.

It's not clear which group brought the helicopter down.

:13:56.:13:59.

The US has carried out air strikes in Libya, targeting

:14:00.:14:01.

the so-called Islamic State group in the city of Sirte.

:14:02.:14:04.

The Pentagon said the raids were carried out at the request

:14:05.:14:08.

of the country's recently installed unity government.

:14:09.:14:14.

The founder of a flagship free school, which was visited

:14:15.:14:16.

by David Cameron, is facing a jail sentence after being convicted,

:14:17.:14:19.

along with two staff members, of fraudulently obtaining ?150,000

:14:20.:14:22.

The court heard that Sajid Hussain Raza, the founder

:14:23.:14:29.

and principal of the Kings Science Academy in Bradford,

:14:30.:14:31.

used some of the money to pay mortgages on his rental properties.

:14:32.:14:34.

Our education editor, Branwen Jeffreys, reports.

:14:35.:14:40.

Standing at the Prime Minister's shoulder,

:14:41.:14:43.

Sajid Raza was a pioneer for David Cameron's free schools -

:14:44.:14:48.

state schools paid for out of taxpayers' money,

:14:49.:14:51.

but groups of individuals could apply to set one up.

:14:52.:14:55.

That is what Raza did, but he already had debts,

:14:56.:14:58.

a string of buy-to-let properties, mortgages he struggled to pay.

:14:59.:15:03.

he was claiming false expenses and an inflated salary.

:15:04.:15:10.

Far from being a model school, Raza treated the academy

:15:11.:15:12.

like a family business, employing his relatives there

:15:13.:15:15.

and operating with no proper governance.

:15:16.:15:20.

The defendants treated public money like their own,

:15:21.:15:22.

and when challenged, fabricated documents to cover their tracks.

:15:23.:15:28.

Senior education officials met Sajid Raza

:15:29.:15:30.

to discuss the free-school application.

:15:31.:15:33.

He seemed to just pluck figures out of the air.

:15:34.:15:40.

The court heard that, if he was challenged,

:15:41.:15:42.

he threatened to call Michael Gove, who was then Education Secretary.

:15:43.:15:45.

but despite that, the application was approved,

:15:46.:15:50.

and within months the first money was transferred.

:15:51.:15:56.

In October 2012, the Education Funding Agency

:15:57.:15:59.

received allegations from a whistle-blower.

:16:00.:16:02.

By January 2013, an audit team was on site investigating.

:16:03.:16:06.

And in January 2014, the principal, Sajid Raza, was arrested.

:16:07.:16:12.

Raza and his sister, Shabana Hussain, denied fraud,

:16:13.:16:16.

but today they were found guilty by a jury in Leeds.

:16:17.:16:19.

Officials say the allegations were investigated swiftly

:16:20.:16:23.

and argue checks on free schools are robust.

:16:24.:16:27.

But that still leaves unanswered questions -

:16:28.:16:30.

how was a dishonest man allowed to set up a school despite concerns?

:16:31.:16:35.

It started with raids by immigration officers on a dozen branches

:16:36.:16:43.

of the upmarket burger chain Byron, in which 35 members of staff,

:16:44.:16:48.

who'd been working illegally, were rounded up.

:16:49.:16:50.

It led tonight to hundreds of people protesting

:16:51.:16:54.

angry at the company's role in the raids.

:16:55.:16:57.

Last week the protesters used a different tactic -

:16:58.:16:59.

releasing cockroaches in another branch.

:17:00.:17:02.

Byron has said it was complying with the law.

:17:03.:17:05.

Take your burgers! Give us our brothers!

:17:06.:17:11.

The demonstration outside this Byron in central London,

:17:12.:17:14.

one of its 65 burger restaurants, followed an eruption of anger

:17:15.:17:17.

at the raids on foreign staff working illegally in the UK.

:17:18.:17:25.

Living here, having a life here and being settled here,

:17:26.:17:28.

and that suddenly being torn from underneath you,

:17:29.:17:31.

A lot of them send most of their salaries back home

:17:32.:17:37.

So imagine it's not only them themselves who are going to suffer

:17:38.:17:42.

but the people who are dependent on their wages too.

:17:43.:17:46.

managers called staff meetings at 12 restaurants.

:17:47.:17:53.

35 workers from Albania, Brazil, Egypt and Nepal were arrested.

:17:54.:18:00.

One legal Byron worker described the meetings,

:18:01.:18:02.

which staff thought were on cooking burgers properly.

:18:03.:18:05.

Within half an hour, immigration were stood

:18:06.:18:10.

blocking the exit so nobody could leave.

:18:11.:18:13.

They came in, told everybody not to move, pulled everybody up

:18:14.:18:15.

from the kitchen and then started calling out the names

:18:16.:18:18.

They were allowed to go and get a couple of items from home

:18:19.:18:22.

and then put on an aeroplane that night.

:18:23.:18:24.

And they were illegal, and so what could they have expected?

:18:25.:18:28.

Yeah, they were illegal, and they knew that they were illegal,

:18:29.:18:31.

is the fact that what Byron did was wrong.

:18:32.:18:36.

They put them into a chicken pen and let the wolves in.

:18:37.:18:39.

Everybody was crying, including management,

:18:40.:18:41.

Byron wouldn't comment on the allegation that the morning

:18:42.:18:46.

meetings were staged so that immigration officers could catch

:18:47.:18:49.

more people, and they wouldn't give an interview.

:18:50.:18:52.

However, it made a statement that it was the Home Office

:18:53.:18:55.

and Byron wasn't aware that it had those illegal workers.

:18:56.:19:02.

Byron said, we carry out rigorous "right to work" checks,

:19:03.:19:05.

but sophisticated counterfeit documentation was used

:19:06.:19:08.

We have cooperated fully and acted upon the Home Office's requests,

:19:09.:19:14.

If they don't make the right checks, they are subject to a fine

:19:15.:19:21.

of ?20,000, and if they decide not to make those checks and employ

:19:22.:19:24.

people illegally, it is a criminal offence, it's an unlimited fine

:19:25.:19:27.

The detail of the law Byron has to contend with

:19:28.:19:32.

didn't placate a group of activists who released

:19:33.:19:38.

cockroaches, locusts and crickets in two of the restaurants

:19:39.:19:40.

on Friday night, forcing them to close.

:19:41.:19:45.

Yet despite the protest, the rules will soon be even tougher,

:19:46.:19:48.

and businesses flouting immigration law could be closed down.

:19:49.:19:51.

It's been another tough day for the Republican

:19:52.:19:54.

presidential candidate, Donald Trump, as leading party

:19:55.:19:57.

members distanced themselves from his attacks

:19:58.:20:00.

on the family of a Muslim army captain killed in Iraq.

:20:01.:20:03.

His father told our North America editor, Jon Sopel,

:20:04.:20:06.

that he won't ask for an apology, because his dignity is worth more.

:20:07.:20:09.

Trouble for Donald Trump, the GOP nominee in an escalating

:20:10.:20:15.

war of words with the Muslim family of a fallen US soldier...

:20:16.:20:20.

This is one fight that people are telling Donald Trump he can't win,

:20:21.:20:23.

but for the moment he's not listening, complaining again

:20:24.:20:25.

on social media that he had been the subject of a vicious attack

:20:26.:20:28.

Their speech at the Democratic Convention about the death

:20:29.:20:33.

of their son, an American Muslim posthumously awarded a Bronze Star

:20:34.:20:39.

and a Purple Star for heroism, has electrified politics.

:20:40.:20:42.

Today, when I met them, I asked them,

:20:43.:20:44.

had they committed a vicious attack on Mr Trump?

:20:45.:20:46.

He can insult, he can disrespect women, judges,

:20:47.:20:49.

even the members of his own party, yet when an ordinary citizen

:20:50.:20:52.

of this country, a patriotic American Muslim

:20:53.:20:57.

of this country, says anything about him,

:20:58.:21:00.

he says he has been viciously attacked.

:21:01.:21:05.

He has different sets of rights. No, we all have same equal rights.

:21:06.:21:08.

for not having spoken at the convention.

:21:09.:21:13.

Everyone in the audience felt it, without saying a word,

:21:14.:21:19.

So I was surprised that he doesn't feel the pain.

:21:20.:21:25.

What type of person doesn't feel the pain?

:21:26.:21:31.

You are attacking Mr Trump over his behaviour, very openly.

:21:32.:21:36.

Isn't there a danger that you will get attacked openly as well?

:21:37.:21:43.

In every person's life, there comes a time when you choose

:21:44.:21:50.

to either say what is the call of the time or shy away.

:21:51.:21:55.

I felt my family supported my stand, they said, "You should do that,"

:21:56.:22:03.

The normal law of politics is that if you are in a hole,

:22:04.:22:08.

you stop digging, but that's not Donald Trump's style.

:22:09.:22:10.

Not only over the Khan family, but this weekend

:22:11.:22:13.

he's got into a right old tangle over policy towards Ukraine,

:22:14.:22:16.

he had a close relationship with Vladimir Putin,

:22:17.:22:20.

he's now clarified he's never actually met him.

:22:21.:22:25.

It's not been a great few days for the Republican candidate.

:22:26.:22:27.

A 12-year-old boy and three other teenagers have appeared

:22:28.:22:35.

in Manchester Crown Court charged with murder.

:22:36.:22:39.

Bradley Moore, who was in his 40s, died in hospital,

:22:40.:22:41.

after he was attacked near a McDonald's restaurant

:22:42.:22:43.

The boys cannot be named for legal reasons.

:22:44.:22:48.

The Ukip leadership candidate Steven Woolfe

:22:49.:22:52.

has admitted breaking electoral rules

:22:53.:22:55.

by failing to declare a conviction for drink-driving.

:22:56.:22:57.

The MEP, who's the favourite to succeed Nigel Farage

:22:58.:22:59.

as party leader, said he forgot about the conviction

:23:00.:23:01.

as a police and crime commissioner four years ago.

:23:02.:23:05.

He is currently awaiting Ukip's verdict

:23:06.:23:07.

on whether he can run for the leadership,

:23:08.:23:11.

having missed the nominations deadline by 17 minutes.

:23:12.:23:14.

The daughter of the Labour peer Lord Janner

:23:15.:23:16.

has spoken for the first time about the claims

:23:17.:23:19.

of child sexual abuse made against her late father.

:23:20.:23:22.

Marion Janner told BBC Newsnight she feels it's an outrage

:23:23.:23:24.

that her father is part of the independent inquiry

:23:25.:23:27.

Last year, Lord Janner was chased into a criminal court

:23:28.:23:37.

to face allegations he was a child abuser.

:23:38.:23:41.

His daughter Marion was by his side in the car.

:23:42.:23:47.

The paparazzi were banging really violently on the window,

:23:48.:23:52.

I thought the windows of the car were going to be smashed,

:23:53.:23:54.

The allegations date back to Lord Janner's decades as a Leicester MP.

:23:55.:24:02.

More than 30 men and women claim he befriened them as children,

:24:03.:24:05.

sometimes in care homes, and abused them.

:24:06.:24:08.

But Marion Janner and her family have no doubts he is innocent.

:24:09.:24:12.

about how he couldn't have done it, we know.

:24:13.:24:17.

So it's not just blind loyalty because he was a wonderful dad.

:24:18.:24:23.

Questioned in 1982, he denied a relationship

:24:24.:24:25.

he had with a teenager from a children's home was sexual.

:24:26.:24:29.

His family say they will show that all his accusers are making it up.

:24:30.:24:36.

Next year, the new National Child Abuse Inquiry will examine

:24:37.:24:41.

the claims, not a court, but it will reach conclusions about facts,

:24:42.:24:44.

and Lord Janner's children are furious

:24:45.:24:47.

The other 12 strands are all institutions,

:24:48.:24:53.

big institutions, the NHS, the Church, and there is one strand

:24:54.:24:57.

on one individual who was never convicted, and at the time of this

:24:58.:25:01.

round of accusations had severe dementia so couldn't defend himself,

:25:02.:25:05.

She says there's no chance of justice.

:25:06.:25:10.

His accusers say they've been denied it.

:25:11.:25:13.

All my clients are interested in justice,

:25:14.:25:15.

and the right to be heard, and the truth coming out.

:25:16.:25:19.

But the Janner family have refused to take part in this inquiry.

:25:20.:25:22.

They hope instead to fight for their father's reputation

:25:23.:25:24.

Germany has said that Europe will not be blackmailed by Turkey

:25:25.:25:34.

into allowing its people visa-free travel to the EU,

:25:35.:25:38.

after Ankara suggested it could back out of the deal

:25:39.:25:41.

to stem the flow of migrants into Europe.

:25:42.:25:43.

are increasingly strained after the failed Turkish coup.

:25:44.:25:48.

Yesterday, a German court banned President Erdogan from

:25:49.:25:51.

addressing a rally of supporters in Cologne via video link.

:25:52.:25:55.

Let's join our correspondent Jonathan Head in Istanbul tonight.

:25:56.:26:01.

Jonathan. Well, that migrants deal, you know,

:26:02.:26:08.

has always been problematic, and nobody knew quite how it was going

:26:09.:26:16.

to Dirk Kuyt. There have always been complications over Turks getting

:26:17.:26:19.

visa free travel, but what has changed since the coup last month is

:26:20.:26:23.

the mood. Turkey feels it should have got more wholehearted support

:26:24.:26:27.

from the EU and its ally the United States, and less criticism, and that

:26:28.:26:31.

is what is causing mistrust here and resentment.

:26:32.:26:34.

The impact of the coup is still being felt in so many ways.

:26:35.:26:37.

Here in Cologne over the weekend, supporters of Turkey's president

:26:38.:26:40.

were hoping to hear him speak via satellite link.

:26:41.:26:44.

But, wary of clashes, a German court blocked it.

:26:45.:26:49.

The Turkish government has reacted with fury.

:26:50.:26:51.

TRANSLATION: How come German officials, who always talk

:26:52.:26:53.

prevented our president from joining a legal and peaceful rally?

:26:54.:27:00.

And this was the Turkish capital, Ankara, today.

:27:01.:27:03.

against alleged American interference in the coup.

:27:04.:27:08.

here trying to smooth unsettled diplomatic waters.

:27:09.:27:15.

The coup was crushed within 24 hours, and most of the perpetrators

:27:16.:27:18.

have now been detained, but it could have had

:27:19.:27:20.

a very different ending, so don't be fooled by appearances.

:27:21.:27:24.

The confidence of this country in itself

:27:25.:27:26.

has been profoundly shaken, and that is bound to strain already

:27:27.:27:29.

prickly relations with Western countries who the government

:27:30.:27:33.

here feels have not been as sympathetic as they should be.

:27:34.:27:38.

So what about the controversial deal, struck with the EU in March,

:27:39.:27:41.

to keep hundreds of thousands of migrants in Turkey?

:27:42.:27:47.

That deal offered substantial financial aid in return

:27:48.:27:50.

for Turkey accepting asylum seekers sent back from the EU.

:27:51.:27:54.

But Europe has to accept equal numbers

:27:55.:27:58.

of genuine Syrian refugees from Turkey.

:27:59.:28:00.

And Turkey wants visa-free travel to the EU for its citizens.

:28:01.:28:04.

Without that, it says, it will pull out of the deal by October.

:28:05.:28:09.

These are exceptional times in Turkey, says this academic,

:28:10.:28:18.

and its international partners need to be more sympathetic.

:28:19.:28:21.

One has to realise that this country has just left behind

:28:22.:28:24.

a very serious coup attempt, in which for the first time, I mean,

:28:25.:28:28.

the Turkish military was divided, and arms were used

:28:29.:28:32.

against the Turkish parliament, against politicians.

:28:33.:28:36.

So I think it could be important to understand the sensitivities.

:28:37.:28:41.

Proud, nationalistic and sharing a troubled history with Europe,

:28:42.:28:46.

diplomatic relations with Turkey have always been hard to manage.

:28:47.:28:50.

With just days to go until the opening of the Rio Games,

:28:51.:29:00.

a member of the International Olympic Committee has told the BBC

:29:01.:29:03.

there needs to be a complete overhaul of anti-doping systems

:29:04.:29:08.

to avoid any repeat of the Russian doping scandal.

:29:09.:29:11.

This afternoon, Russia's sports ministry said it hoped to know

:29:12.:29:14.

by tomorrow how many of its athletes will be cleared to compete.

:29:15.:29:16.

Our sports editor, Dan Roan, has the latest from Rio.

:29:17.:29:21.

Four days and counting, final preparations continue here

:29:22.:29:24.

as Rio gets ready for the start of the Games.

:29:25.:29:27.

But as the fallout from the Russian doping scandal

:29:28.:29:32.

one member of the International Olympic Committee

:29:33.:29:37.

today told me that such a crisis must never happen again.

:29:38.:29:39.

I think there has to be, yeah, a complete overhaul of the system.

:29:40.:29:42.

I would love to see a completely independent body

:29:43.:29:44.

that really takes care of anti-doping in the world right now.

:29:45.:29:47.

I think there's too many conflicts of interest we have

:29:48.:29:49.

between the different bodies in the world,

:29:50.:29:51.

when everybody is intertwined in international sport,

:29:52.:29:54.

but this is the number one pressing issue for the future

:29:55.:29:57.

of the Olympic movement, I think.

:29:58.:29:59.

Russia's women's archers are already world champions.

:30:00.:30:01.

They have been cleared to compete by their international confederation

:30:02.:30:09.

but must wait for final confirmation from an IOC panel

:30:10.:30:12.

that has been set up to review each athlete's drug-testing record.

:30:13.:30:15.

The Russian government says they expect to be told tomorrow

:30:16.:30:17.

which of their team has been cleared.

:30:18.:30:20.

We know that, but I don't care about this,

:30:21.:30:23.

I think archery is a clean sport, and there is no difficulty,

:30:24.:30:26.

because this year, four times they get doping tests.

:30:27.:30:34.

One of the sports most affected by this is rowing,

:30:35.:30:37.

due to take place here in this spectacular venue.

:30:38.:30:40.

22 members of the Russian team have been banned

:30:41.:30:44.

because they failed new eligibility criteria.

:30:45.:30:48.

In effect, they were deemed to have not been tested enough

:30:49.:30:50.

That's five crews reduced to just one.

:30:51.:30:56.

Once again, Team GB hope to be the dominant nation in this sport,

:30:57.:30:59.

but does Russia's depleted squad take away from the competition?

:31:00.:31:04.

The most important thing is the credibility and ethics

:31:05.:31:08.

of Olympic sport, by a long, long way, so I think that

:31:09.:31:11.

unless that's being tackled, and that's what is really important,

:31:12.:31:15.

if there are one or two boats that are not in rowing,

:31:16.:31:18.

well, that is minor compared to the message

:31:19.:31:20.

that the public need to be confident of.

:31:21.:31:23.

But the Games face other challenges, too.

:31:24.:31:27.

A 16-month study found that waste levels in the waters

:31:28.:31:30.

remain dangerously high, and pollution isn't the only worry

:31:31.:31:33.

at the sailing venue, where the main ramp for boats

:31:34.:31:37.

to access the water has partly collapsed,

:31:38.:31:39.

raising concerns about the quality of constructions.

:31:40.:31:44.

the sooner the actual sport begins, the better.

:31:45.:31:47.

Rebel Labour MPs have been trying to find out what happens if Jeremy

:31:48.:32:04.

Corbyn remains leader and they unilaterally dump him and declare

:32:05.:32:08.

independence. We'll let you know whether they think that is an

:32:09.:32:11.

option. Join me now on BBC Two.
