Russia's entire Paralympic team is banned from competing in Rio | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
after a report finds evidence of state sponsored doping. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
The International Paralympic Committee blamed a 'medals | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
over morals' mentality - going much further than | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
The anti-doping system in Russia is broken, corrupted and entirely | :00:20. | :00:32. | |
compromised. Also on the programme - | :00:33. | :00:33. | |
the latest from a second London silver medalist | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Lizzie Armitstead misses out on medals in Rio amid concerns over | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
the safety of the course. Homeowners living in areas | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
where there's fracking for shale gas out in Istanbul to protest | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
against last month's against Pakistan at Edgbaston, | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
to take a 2-1 lead in the series. The entire Russian team has been | :00:58. | :01:23. | |
banned from the Paralympic Games, which begin in Brazil next month, | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
because of what the International Paralympic Committee called | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
a "state-sponsored" doping The committee's chairman, | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Sir Philip Craven, said he was "disgusted" by a broken | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
system that - in his words - Our sports editor Dan Roan | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
is live in Rio de Janeiro. This is quite simply one of the | :01:42. | :01:58. | |
biggest and most important decisions the Paralympic movement has ever had | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
to take. Paralympic sport is very much growing in stature and | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
strength, you only have to look at the crowds at the London 2012 | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
Paralympics to understand that. Russia has become a powerhouse in | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
disability sport, it won 18 medals in the Sochi Paralympics, three | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
times more than any other nation but today it was told it was not welcome | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
at the Rio Paralympics which follow on two weeks after the current Rio | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Olympics and in doing so, the IPC made a stark contrast with the | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
decision of the IOC in allowing Russia to compete here. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Russia did not just host the 2014 Winter games, it dominated them. But | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
we now know Sochi was sabotaged by programme of state-sponsored doping | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
and today the country was punished. The Russian Paralympic committee | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
will not be able to enter its athletes into the real 2016 | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
Paralympic games. I believe the Russian government has failed its | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
para athletes. Their medals over morals mentality disgusts me. Last | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
month a damning report revealed systemic cheating in Russia across | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
many sports despite that, the International Olympic Committee | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
resisted demands to ban the entire team from Rio. The country has | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
already won its first gold in the judo competition. But the | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
International Paralympic committee has taken a stronger stance. The | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
anti-doping system in Russia is broken, corrupted and entirely | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
compromised. Everything we have observed goes against the very | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
spirit of sport and everything the Paralympic movement stands for. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Russia's sports minister said the country's exclusion was beyond | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
common sense and vowed to appeal, but one British Paralympic Ian | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
backed the decision. This blanket ban is a huge decision and I feel | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
massively for those athletes that are clean and will not have the | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
opportunity to compete on that level. But it does reassure me that | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
the Paralympic movement does have the integrity of the sport and the | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
movement as a whole at the heart of all of this. The Russian national | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
anthem has already been heard at these Olympics. But it's a sound | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
that will be missing when Rio's second great sporting spectacle of | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
the summer gets underway next month. British hopes will focus on swimming | :04:36. | :04:51. | |
as Adam Peaty goes for gold in the 100 metres breaststroke. Richard | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Cruise to missed out on a medal in the fencing. | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
The places to look for a British medal, fencing hasn't provided one | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
for half a century. Enter Richard Cruise. It is a sport akin to | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
physical chess, they aim to hit without being hit. Crews took an | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
early lead. But his opponent Alex is the world number one. Back he came | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
to 15-9. Cruise's hopes of gold had been dashed. But he still had a | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
chance of bronze, a play-off against Russia and agonisingly, once again | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
it was not to be. So near yet so far, fourth place for Richard | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
Cruise. Britain's wait for a medal goes on. Meanwhile, it was a | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
frustrating day for the organisers and the rollers. High winds on the | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
water and after one boat capsized yesterday, they were taking no | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
chances. Today's action cancelled. But the weather was not the only | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
problem. Lots of empty seats around the venues, including at the tennis. | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
As Andy Murray got his Olympic title defence off to a winning start. It | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
was another good day for the women's rugby sevens team. Two tries from | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
the captain helping them to the quarterfinals with a comprehensive | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
win over Canada. Not everything went according to plan. In the | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
gymnastics, a painful moment for Ellie Downey. Thankfully she was | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
able to walk away and carry on competing. And there was better news | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
in this winning. Jazz Carlin won her heat and qualified second fastest | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
for two nights final of the 400 metres freestyle. After missing | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
London 2012, a chance at last for an Olympic medal. It could be quite a | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
night here in the swimming pool because later on, Adam Peaty goes | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
for gold in the final of the 100 metres breaststroke. He set a world | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
record in the heats. He is the red-hot favourite, so around about | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
three o'clock in the morning, written's wait for a medal at these | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
games might just be over. Meanwhile, British cyclist | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
Lizzie Armitstead has come fifth in the road race - | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
after winning a silver She missed three drugs | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
tests in the past year and was only allowed to compete | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
after appealing to the Court Meanwhile, there's been | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
criticism of the course after a crash which left | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
a Dutch cyclist injured. This report from our sports | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
correspondent Natalie Pirks contains images of the crash which some | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
viewers may find disturbing. The stony face replaced what should | :07:50. | :08:02. | |
have been a joyous moment for Lizzie Armitstead. As world champion in a | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
sport struggling for credibility, she wanted to show fans the beauty | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
in cycling but as she rode to the start line, even some of her fellow | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
racers did not believe she should be there. It's not fair that she can | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
race and other riders cannot. I will be very happy to see her today, but | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
the rules have to be the same for everyone. Lizzie knew she would be a | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
marked woman and her start was less than perfect, picking up a puncture. | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
But in team-mate Emma Pooley, she had a trusty blue tent helping to | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
rein in a breakaway. The Palatine was tightly packed for miles but | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
with the biggest climb to come, Olympic champions Marianne Vos made | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
her move. He is a significant advantage. Having done all the hard | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
work, she faltered leaving her team-mate with open space ahead. But | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
these were gruelling descents for the men yesterday and with the rain | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
sicking up the surface, they proved treacherous for the women also. What | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
follows, a stark reminder of just how dangerous this board can be. | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
She's down! The Dutch federation later said she was conscious and | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
left the mountain in an ambulance. The crash in the USA going for gold | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
with the Lizzie Armitstead trying desperately to real hurt in what it | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
was Anna van de Breggen he came away with gold. A frenetic finish to this | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
race but no medal here for Great Britain. I can't feel sorry for | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
myself. This is sport and that is what it is about. I never gave up | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
and for that I can be proud of myself. Lizzie Armitstead had said | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
this course would be brutal and a battle for survival. The course | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
designers now faced criticism at how true that prediction was. I looked | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
at the road furniture and thought no one can crash here and get up, it's | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
bad. Joy for the Netherlands but tempered by a terrible moment. With | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
major crashes, questions will be asked about whether was done to | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
protect the safety of competitors. Well, at the end of the first | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
weekend of competition let's talk to our sports editor | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Dan Roan who's in Rio. Dan, what's your assessment of how | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
the games have gone so far? No shortage of drama, no shortage of | :10:30. | :10:43. | |
excitement so far. On the other hand, two days into competition, | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
these games cannot shake off the doping related controversies. The | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
IPC's decision to kick Russia out of the Paralympics puts it very much at | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
odds with the decision of the International Olympic Committee, | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
which received criticism by resisting demands to do the same | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
last week when it came to their events. The Paralympic, Olympic | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
movement divided. Fresh allegations regarding doping in Kenya today. On | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
top of that, organisers are having to tackle other issues- safety | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
concerns, the wind cause havoc today as well, delays at the rowing, | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
kayaking and tennis venues. Organisers have been trying and | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
improve the long queues we saw yesterday but they have plenty to | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
still get a grip on. That is always the way in the early days. As for | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
Team GB, a slow start, disappointment so far, no medals but | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
that could all change in the pool when Adam Peaty goes for gold. If he | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
can manage that, maybe that can trigger some kind of gold rush as | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Team GB tries to win more gold medals than in any away game in | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
their history. The government's being accused | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
of trying to bribe people to accept Ministers are proposing that | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
individual households are given cash payments - | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
potentially running into thousands of pounds - | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
to ensure they personally benefit from any decision to go ahead with | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
the way of extracting shale gas. Labour have accused the government | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
of trying to set neighbour Here's our Political | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
Correspondent Alex Forsyth. The concept of fracking has been | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
plagued by controversy. There were angry scenes | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
in North Yorkshire when the council These hills are the battleground | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
between those who say shale gas deep below could help meet the UK's | :12:35. | :12:44. | |
energy needs and those who fear it Now residents in affected towns | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
like Kirby Misperton have been The Prime Minister is consulting | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
on plans to give up to 10% of tax revenues directly to households | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
instead of councils or local trusts. I think it's divisive, | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
because some people would love a few thousand pounds in their bank | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
account, and then other people, because they're against | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
the fracking, they will attack them. It looks very attractive, | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
but it's just local blackmail. I use central heating, | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
I drive a car. You have got to be careful, | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
and I think you do have to see it Fracking involves injecting water, | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
sand and chemicals at high pressure into shale rocks deep underground, | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
releasing gas that can be Supporters say it's a safe energy | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
resource which will boost local economies, | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
and households should benefit. I think it's a really good | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
intervention that Theresa May has done so that the local community can | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
benefit directly, rather than just using a community group, | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
because that will involve committees and trying to agree | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
on what to spend the money on. But those opposed say the Government | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
should focus on renewable energy, not trying to win | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
people round to fracking. What Theresa May is trying | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
to do is a cheap bribe, trying to bribe communities that | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
have said time and again The new Prime Minister has already | :14:17. | :14:36. | |
forced one new nuclear project. Marking a different approach to her | :14:37. | :14:37. | |
predecessors. Theresa May said today's | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
announcement is putting into practice what she promised | :14:42. | :14:42. | |
when she stood here and took office, making economic decisions | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
which benefit people personally, There are questions about how it | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
would work and the amounts involved. But the Prime Minister has already | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
said something similar could be Some activists say this will just | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
strengthen their resolve to fight. Others hope this could encourage | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
people to lay down their placards Labour and the Liberal Democrats say | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
they will oppose any government plans to lift the ban on new grammar | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
schools in England. Reports say Theresa May is keen | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
to see a reintroduction of the schools, which were banned | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
by Labour in 1998. The move will please some | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
back-bench Conservative MPs, although the Tory chair | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
of parliament's education committee, Neil Carmichael, said tonight it | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
would not improve social mobility. Belgian prosecutors believe a man | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
who attacked two women police officers with a machete | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
in the southern city of Charleroi yesterday may have been | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
inspired by terrorism. They say the man, who was shot | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
dead by another officer, He came from Algeria and had been | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
living in Belgium since 2012. More than a million people have | :15:46. | :15:58. | |
been taking been part in a rally in Istanbul, | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
to protest against last Turkish President Recep Tayyip | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
Erdogan addressed the huge crowds, thanking the public for their role | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
in defeating the coup. But despite the show | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
of loyalty, many are concerned about the severity of the crackdown | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
on those accused of taking part. And parents of some of the young | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
conscripts killed while supporting the coup say their sons took | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
part without being told Our correspondent Nafiseh Kohnavard | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
reports from Istanbul. From the start, it was going to be | :16:19. | :16:40. | |
different. 200 ferries had been put on to take people to the event they | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
called a democracy and maters rally. The crowds here are chanting, Martas | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
will never die, the country won't be divided. And inside there was a | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
clear display of national unity. Crowds never seen before all waving | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
one flag and mostly waiting for one man. If President at a gun had been | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
shaken by last month 's failed coup, you would not know it today. He | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
called for national unity and said the people behind the coup were | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
terrorists. But that is not how this man is remembered by his family. He | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
was a conscript and worked in the army canteen. He was killed taking | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
part in the coup. But his family say he had no idea what he was involved | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
in. TRANSLATION: | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
My son did not know anything about the coup. They woke him up in the | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
night and told him there was an operation. His commanders led my son | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
to death on purpose. This was the moment the soldiers on the bridge | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
surrendered. Moments later, this video was taken. It shows the last | :18:20. | :18:29. | |
moments. In the background a boy says, stop beating him, he is | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
already dead. TRANSLATION: | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
My child was battered and murdered. He was covered in blood. He was | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
bleeding like a slaughtered cow. We have died a thousand deaths, I have | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
been crying ever since. This pain is killing me and I'm burning on the | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
inside and I hope whoever did this will burn like me. In some ways, the | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
coup has brought parts of Turkey together. But it has also destroyed | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
many lives. The Serious Fraud Office says it's | :19:07. | :19:16. | |
opened a criminal investigation into allegations of fraud, | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
bribery and corruption in the civil to irregularities concerning | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
third party consultants. The company says it's co-operating | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
with the SFO. The Community Shield - | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
the traditional curtain raiser to the Premier League season - | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
took place this afternoon. Highlights follow this programme, | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
so if you don't want to know the result, you might | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
want to look away now. Jose Mourinho's Manchester United | :19:40. | :19:42. | |

of a potentially world-record Cricket and England have won | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
the third Test again They bowled out the visitors | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
on the final day to win by 141-runs. It means England lead the four | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
match series 2-1. Patrick Gearey was | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
watching the action. A day to go in the test, | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
many asked why these two England should be bowling | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
to Pakistan, they said. If batting was a waste of time, | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
it was entertaining and brief. 20 minutes later, Alastair | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
Cook called them in. Ten wickets required | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
at least Mohammad Hafeez A gift to Stuart Broad | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
and to England. His fellow Pakistanis stood firmer | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
for a while. Sami Aslam and Azhar Ali guided them | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
to lunch into the afternoon The spinner shocked batsmen Azhar | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
and catcher Cook. Everything now had to happen | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
