Tonight at Ten, there will be no blanket ban on Russia's athletes

The Russian Federation has mocked the Olympic movement,

So where does all this leave Olympic movement,

There will be no blanket ban on Russian athletes

at the Rio Olympics next month, following allegations

The International Olympic Committee says instead it will be up

to the individual sports governing bodies to decide whether

the Sports Minister said he was grateful for the decision,

but the US Anti-Doping Agency says the IOC has "refused to take

decisive leadership" and "left a confusing mess."

Our sports editor, Dan Roan, reports.

It is a site many thought they would not witness in Rio, but now we know,

despite state-sponsored doping, a Russian team will walk out when the

games begin in 12 days. The IOC today resisted calls for a total

ban. No Russian athlete can compete in the Rio games in 2016 unless he

or she meets some very strict criteria. Every human being is

entitled to individual justice. We have set the bar to the absolute

limit for how Russian athletes can achieve competing in Rio. No Russian

who has ever been found guilty of doping will be allowed to compete.

Beyond that, the IOC has passed on responsibility to 27 international

sport Federation. They must analyse anti-doping records and carry out

additional testing, but one British member of the IOC told us he could

not back that decision. My reaction is one of disappointment and

embarrassment, in some ways, to be honest. I would hope that the

leadership at the IOC, the organisation I am a member of, would

have taken a real principled, strong stance that really helped the

long-term cleanliness of sport to really read us of the scourge of

doping. The IOC has also been criticised for deciding that a

runner turned whistle-blower who sparked an investigation in Russia

cannot compete in Rio, even as a neutral. The country's track and

field at rates -- athletes will be missing. A ban for that sport

remains in place. The reprieve for the rest of the sport has come as a

huge relief in Moscow. The correct decision was taken by respecting the

rights of individual sports people who cannot be blamed collectively.

We take the investigation seriously and we are ready to work closely

with the IOC. At the end of a week when hundreds of Russian doping

incidents were exposed, people feel let down by the IOC. The evidence is

massive. It is a state run programme, and I just cannot

understand, after what we know went on two years ago, that the IOC can

take anything that Russia says as the truth. Today, members of the

Russian gymnastics team prepare to begin their journey to Rio. How

welcome they will be, however, is in doubt.

Let's get a little more analysis on all of this.

We'll return to Dan Roan in a moment, but first,

let's speak to our South America correspondent, Wyre Davies,

The IOC says Russians competing at the games will be subject to

rigorous doping checks - is everyone confident that will happen?

Rio's anti-doping lab has a chequered history. It was closed

because of opposites -- obsolete equipment. They invested millions in

a new lap, but that lost its licence in June over a failure to comply

with international scientific standards. This is a difficult

period. The chief scientist has told us the lab has all the latest

scientific equipment, and they will catch every single drugs cheat will

stop with so much at stake, including the movement's reputation,

testing 450 samples every day to a very high standards will be a big

ask. Dan Roan is at the BBC

Sports Centre in Salford. rather than giving clarity, some

people say this is confusing the situation.

The anti-doping agency said tonight has described this situation the IOC

has left the sporting world with as a confusing mess. It is hardly

surprisingly we are 12 days away, remarkable as it may seem, and we do

not yet know how many Russians and which ones will be allowed to

compete. That is because of the criteria the IOC have set down to

determine which Russians will qualify to compete. It can be

determined in different ways, depending on which international

sporting federation you are talking about. For example, the tennis

Federation said it would be happy for all seven Russian tennis players

to compete. Other federations may feel differently. Critics will ask

how it can be that a rigorous testing programme can be completed

in a few days. The decision by the IOC has been widely condemned

tonight and it has opened up divisions in the other big family.

The world anti-doping agency, for example, wanted a total ban.

Athletes' representatives are at loggerheads with those who run their

sport. Many will argue that when the entire anti-doping programme seems

to be subverted, when will a ban actually happen? Double boycotts in

the 80s, there were bidding controversies, but there have never

been a few days like the last few. -- the world boycotts.

Investigators in Germany say David Ali Sonboly,

the teenager who killed nine people in Munich on Friday night,

had been planning the attack for more than a year.

They also say he may have bought the pistol and ammunition he used

in the attack over the internet on the so-called 'dark web,'

a specially encrypted part of the internet.

With the latest, here's Chris Buckler.

The fear and even shock is starting to fade

in Munich, but the grief is

still obvious in this street, where people

were indiscriminately shot dead.

For some, there is also an understandable sense of relief.

It seems that teenagers were targeted by a

gunman who was only a teenager himself.

Tonight, German police have arrested a 16-year-old who knew David Ali

Sonboly. It is understood he contacted detectives on Friday after

the shooting himself, but he has been held over inconsistencies in

his statements. David Ali Sonboly killed himself, but only after

killing so many others. Let's take a look at some

Phillip Hammond, has for the first time raised the prospect of a free

trade deal between the UK and China. Substantive talks, however,

could only begin once the UK leaves the EU, and then, it would still be

for Scotland and its relationship With Scotland voting

overwhelmingly to remain, our Scotland editor, Sarah Smith,

examines how the Brexit vote is re-shaping the debate over

Scottish independence. Even in turbulent political times,

some traditions remain, like the Innerleithen annual

fancy dress parade. By tradition, this part

of southern Scotland has always

opposed independence, recording the highest No vote

on the mainland in 2014. The SNP will not call

another referendum until they believe they can change

the minds of some of the voters voted no to independence

we can to stay in. It has certainly made me less sure

of how I voted Yes, it couldn't be

avoided, I don't think. All over Scotland people

are reconsidering how they will vote if there

is another independence referendum. He voted no two years ago, largely

because he wanted to stay in the EU. A key argument at the time was that

Scotland would not gain automatic entry into the EU should it

gain its independence. That fear of Scotland being isolated

was one of the key factors why I voted No

during the Scottish independence That view has completely changed

now, with Britain set to Opinion polls do suggest

increased support for independence, but the SNP will want

to see stronger and sustained enthusiasm before

calling another vote. independence, it won't

be because millions of Scots were desperate

to remain citizens of the EU, but it

might be because the EU vote has dramatically highlighted the fact

that voters in Scotland want very different things from

the rest of the UK. It is the psychological estrangement

between Scotland and England that feeds the SNP narrative

of irreconcilable differences between the two major

parts of the Union. And things like the Brexit vote,

where Scotland have one opinion and England another,

help underscore this makes sense for Scotland

England to be part of the same nation state.

Brexit may have changed the mood, but it also makes

the case for independence more complex.
