Russia is banned from next month's Paralympic Games in Rio | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
after a report found evidence of state-sponsored doping. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
The International Paralympic Committee's decision to suspend | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
the entire Russian team goes much further than Olympic officials. | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
The anti-doping system in Russia is broken, | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
With Russia's Olympians competing in Rio at the moment, | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
we'll ask where the Paralympics decision | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
How homeowners living in areas where there's fracking for shale gas | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
And England win the third Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
The entire Russian Paralympic team has been suspended from competing | :00:46. | :01:13. | |
in Rio next month, in the wake of a report that found evidence | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
The International Paralympic Committee said a "doping culture" | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
was "polluting Russian sport", but it had to act | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
in the best interests of the Paralympic movement. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Our Sports Editor, Dan Roan reports from Rio. | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
If Russia thought their first gold of these games meant business as | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
usual, they were wrong. The country today was kicked out of next month's | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Rio Paralympics in disgrace for cheating. The IPC governing board | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
has resolved to suspend the Russian Paralympic committee | :01:53. | :01:53. | |
This means the Russian Paralympic committee loses all rights and | :01:54. | :02:04. | |
privileges of IPC membership. This includes not being able to enter | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
para athletes into competitions sanctioned by the IPC and being | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
unable to participate in the IPC activities. Last month, a damning | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
report revealed systemic state-sponsored cheating in Russia | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
across many Olympic sports, but it also referred to a host of covered | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
up positive drugs test in Paralympic disciplines. Russia hosted | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
disability sport's showpiece event at the Sochi Winter games two years | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
ago, winning three times as many medals as any other nation, but that | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
success has now been discredited. The anti-doping system in Russia is | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
broken, corrupted and entirely compromised. Everything we have | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
observed goes against the very spirit of sport and everything the | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
Paralympic movement stands for. The IBC's hard-line stance stands in | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
stark contrast to the International Olympic Committee, which | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
controversially resisted demands to ban the entire Russian team from | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Rio. President Thomas Bach called it a nuclear option. The Russian | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
national anthem has already been heard at these Olympics. But the man | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
who represents Paralympic athletes says the IPC had no choice. The | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
facts we have actually horrify me. Athletes appear to be pawns in a | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
broken, corrupt system designed to show global prowess. Because of the | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Russian government's desire to seek an unfair competitive advantage, | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
their athletes will now miss out on the opportunity to compete at the | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
biggest stage of all. This is arguably the biggest decision the | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
IPC has ever reached, announcing it just a few minutes ago in the | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
building behind me. It's a huge embarrassment and humiliation for | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Russia, which has been a real powerhouse nation in Paralympic | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
sport. It won 30 gold medals, 80 overall at the Sochi Winter | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
Paralympics which they hosted. It's important to remember that the | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Paralympic movement is a growing force in world sport. One only have | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
to see the huge crowds at the London summer Paralympics four years ago to | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
realise that. No surprise that according to the Russian state news | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
agency, the Russian government is appealing against this decision to | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The other significance of it is that | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
for many critics, it will expose and shame the IOC's decision not to | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
issue a blanket ban to Russia despite similar allegations in | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
Olympic sport. It opens up a new division within the Olympic | :04:42. | :04:42. | |
movement. Dan Roan, thank you. And we will | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
have to be's Olympic sporting action later in the programme. -- to be's | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Olympic sporting action. People living in areas affected | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
by any future extraction of shale gas could be paid thousands | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
of pounds from the proceeds That's one of the options | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
in a consultation due Anti-fracking campaigners | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
have reacted angrily, Shame on you! The concept of | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
fracking has been plagued by controversy. We say no! There were | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
angry scenes in North Yorkshire when the council gave the go-ahead May. | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
These hills are the battle ground between those who say shale gas deep | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
below could help meet the UK's energy needs and those who fear it | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
will destroy the environment. Now residents in affected towns have | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
been told they could share in the proceeds from fracking. The Prime | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Minister is consulting on plans to give up to 10% of tax revenues | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
directly to households instead of councils or local trusts. I think is | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
divisive, because some people would love a few thousand pounds in their | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
bank account, and then other people, because they are against the | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
fracking, they will attack them. It looks attractive, but it's just | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
local blackmail. I use central heating, I drive a car. You have got | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
to be careful, and I think you do have to see it as a local planning | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
issue. Fracking involves injecting water, sand and chemicals at high | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
pressure into shale rocks deep underground, releasing gas that can | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
be pumped to the surface. Supporters say it's a safe energy resource | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
which will boost local economies and households should benefit. I think | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
it's a really good intervention that Theresa May has done so that the | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
local community can benefit directly, rather than just using a | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
community group, because that will involve committees and trying to | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
agree on what to spend the money on. But those opposed to the government | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
should focus on renewable energy, not trying to win people ran to | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
fracking. What Theresa May is trying to do is a cheap bribe, trying to | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
bribe communities that have said time and again they don't want | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
fracking. This is exactly the kind of thing that people have been | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
complaining about, that they are not listened to. Theresa May said | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
today's announcement is putting into practice what she promised when she | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
stood here and took office, making economic decisions which benefits | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
people personally, not just the powerful. This isn't signed off. | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
There are questions about how it would work and the amounts involved. | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
But the Prime Minister has already said something similar could be | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
considered for other schemes. Some activists say this will just | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
strengthen their resolve to fight. Others hope this could encourage | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
people to lay down their placards and embrace a new energy supply. | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Alex Forsyth, BBC News. Belgian prosecutors have identified | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
the man who attacked a female police officer with a machete as | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
a 33-year-old Algerian who's lived So-called Islamic State has claimed | :07:49. | :07:50. | |

politics, and changed the country. and big political parties had | :08:23. | :08:34. | |

that they were very worried that it was all Project Fear | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
and there should be more positivity and that was dismissed, | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
and I said on two occasions, "I'm really worried | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
about the Labour vote," That worry that lots of Labour | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
supporters would vote Out are now blaming this man, | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
Jeremy Corbyn. Not only was he, for most | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
of the time, absent from the battle, but he was holding back the efforts | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
of Alan Johnson At times they felt actually, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
their efforts were being sabotaged. But Jeremy Corbyn's team | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
insist he did do his bit. I think that all leading members | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
of the Labour Party were out actively campaigning, | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
and Jeremy played his part in that collective effort by doing a lot | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
of media appearances, by doing a lot of meetings up | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
and down the country. He played his part, | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
and we all played our part. For the winners, justification that | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
a once lonely argument had been Ultimately, this referendum was won | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
by people saying, "We have | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
got to get back control of our borders and a saner, | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
better immigration And, say some, it proved too how out | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
of touch this place can be. The sniffy and patronising | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
way in which the liberal middle class elite | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
in London has looked at the votes these people are too stupid, | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
too northern, too working class, too poor, too old, and didn't know | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
what they were voting for, that is Yes, it was a referendum | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
that exposed deep divisions within society, | :10:43. | :10:45. | |

as Britain's Adam Peaty goes for gold in the 100 | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
metres breaststroke. So far, though, it's | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
been a frustrating day for the organisers | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
after the weather forced Our sports correspondent | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
Andy Swiss reports. A beautiful day at the rowing lake, | :11:11. | :11:22. | |
but appearances can be deceptive. High winds on the water, and after | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
one boat capsized yesterday, organisers were taking no chances. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Today's heats were cancelled. Britain's crews will have to play | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
the waiting game. Elsewhere, it was time for the man in the mask. James | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
Davies hoping to win Britain passed my first fencing medal for more than | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
50 years, and he made an impressive start with an early win. But the | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
world number five's hopes ended in agonising fashion, pipped 15-13 in | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
the next round by Russia's Safin. It was rather better in the sevens | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
rugby, though, as two tries from captain Emily Scarratt helped | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
Britain's women through to the quarterfinals with a comprehensive | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
22-0 win over Canada. But the main focus later will be here in the | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
pool. Not since Adrian Moorhouse in 1988 has a British man won and | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
Olympic swimming title, but Adam Peaty could be about to change that. | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
Yesterday, Peaty recorded the two fastest times ever in the 100 metres | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
breaststroke, a world record in the heats and this in the semifinals. | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
This is perfect from Peaty! The 21-year-old from Derby goes for gold | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
just before 3am, British time. It could be a night to remember. Andy | :12:45. | :12:47. | |

of the women cyclists Aiming for Team GB's first Rio medal | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
is Lizzie Armitstead. Natalie Pirks has been watching | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
and joins me from Rio. How is she doing? Well, the race is | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
around two hours in and until two weeks ago, it was the perfect | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
build-up for Lizzie Armitstead. She is the reigning world champion in | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
the road race. She has had a great season and was hoping to go one | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
better than the silver she won in London, but then came the drama of | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
her three missed drugs tests. She was suspended, but appealed to the | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Court of Arbitration for Sport, saying the first test should be | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
struck from her record because the doping officer hadn't done enough to | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
locate her. They agreed with her and she was free to compete here, but at | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
what cost to her reputation? Fellow -- fellow Olympians said she should | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
not have been allowed here. She gave a very emotional interview to the | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
BBC, saying she knew she would be forever associated with the spectre | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
of doping, so it's hard to believe that she is in the right place | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
mentally to win gold here. Even winning any kind of middle age on a | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
course that isn't suited to her talent would be quite some | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
achievement. -- winning any kind of metal. She has already had to change | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
bikes because of a punch-up. Fellow team-mate Emma Pooley has made a | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
break for it, but Lizzie looks like she's sticking with the peloton for | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
the time being. And the trickiest climb, the Vista Chinesa, is still | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
to come. With all the sport, here's | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes England's cricketers have | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
comfortably beaten Pakistan in the third test at Edgbaston to go | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
2-1 up in the best of 4 series. Being England captain is about | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
making tough decisions. Alastair Cook had decided to wait until 11.30 | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
this morning to try and bowl Pakistan out. Ten wickets required. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
At least Mohammad Hafeez was feeling charitable, a gift to Stuart Broad | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
and to England. His fellow Pakistanis stood firm. Azhar Ali | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
guided them to lunch and beyond. To most eyes, this was a draw. Then | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
Moeen produced the sudden turn. 2.10, eight to go. Everything now | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
have to happen at a hurry. That is where Jimmy Anderson is useful. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
Younis Khan fell before. Steven Finn must have wondered where his next | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
wicket was coming from. Ms Bow was the answer. Relief, release, | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
Pakistan in retreat. Where had this come from? Sammy could only wonder. | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
Finn got him too. The end came before 5.30 must help caught and | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
bowled Moeen. They matched England could have lost and probably should | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
have drawn, they have somehow managed to win. Patrick Gearey, BBC | :15:36. | :15:36. | |

Ibrahimovic, just about. 35 this year, he's the new man to lead | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
Manchester United's attack, but there is space for a player who has | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
been at the club since boyhood, Jesse Lingard, making Leicester's | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
defenders look a bit like pensioners. Mourinho picked the | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
team, in case you were wondering. 1-0 at half-time. There is always | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
the good old match day programme to read. In it, Jose Mourinho writes | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
about a new chapter. He's still trying to sort out the catalyst. We | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
learn today that Paul Pogba just needs to pass a medical and he's | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
joining the club. United prepared to spend ?100 million on him. The | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
programme just costs a fiver. Leicester's summer success was to | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
hold onto Jamie Vardy, played in beautifully by United's Fellaini, | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
thank you. 1-1, the game was drifting. Where was Ibrahimovic? | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
There. What influence did he have on the game? Check the score sheet. I | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
just won another trophy. And Celtic began their Scottish | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
Premiership title defence with a 2-1 victory over Hearts. The match was | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
level at 1-1 until the 81st minute, when Scott Sinclair, who only | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
officially signed for Celtic last night, came off the bench to score | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
the winner at Tynecastle. There's more throughout the evening | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
