Welcomed Outside Source, and our international news. -- welcome to.

:00:13.:00:21.

We will start with this... Russia's entire Olympic team could be banned

:00:22.:00:27.

after a report alleges state-sponsored doping. It could

:00:28.:00:33.

lead to a split in the Olympic movement. More purges and arrests of

:00:34.:00:37.

Turkish officials after the military coup on Friday. UK Parliament is

:00:38.:00:42.

debating right now whether to renew its nuclear weapons capability. We

:00:43.:00:47.

are expecting an update in the next hour. We will keep you updated. We

:00:48.:00:52.

also live in Cleveland where the Republican National Convention has

:00:53.:00:55.

got underway with the national anthem. This is where Donald Trump

:00:56.:00:59.

is almost certainly going to be nominated as the party's

:01:00.:01:04.

presidential candidate. If you have questions on what the Republicans

:01:05.:01:07.

will be doing over the next few days, or any other story, this is

:01:08.:01:10.

the hashtag to reach me on. No exaggeration to say the Olympic

:01:11.:01:30.

movement is facing one of its biggest challenges. An investigation

:01:31.:01:35.

has found widespread evidence of state-sponsored cheating at the

:01:36.:01:41.

Saatchi Olympics in 2014. This comes from a report committed by the world

:01:42.:01:47.

anti-doping agency which says a Moscow lap covered up hundreds of

:01:48.:01:54.

positive tests. -- Sochi. It was headed by Doctor Richard McLaren. He

:01:55.:01:59.

spoke earlier. Through the coordinating efforts, Russian

:02:00.:02:04.

athletes were instructed to collect what were thought to be clean

:02:05.:02:08.

samples outside of the wash-out periods of any performance enhancing

:02:09.:02:14.

drugs they were using. The samples were stored in a freezer at the CSP.

:02:15.:02:21.

The doctor tested some of the samples to ensure that they were not

:02:22.:02:28.

going to be positive. The samples were subsequently transported

:02:29.:02:34.

secretly by the FSB from Moscow to the FSB storage freezer in their

:02:35.:02:42.

building located next to the Sochi lab where they sat waiting for the

:02:43.:02:46.

games to begin. During the night the samples were passed through what the

:02:47.:02:52.

IPT called a mouse hole, from the lab inside a secure perimeter, to an

:02:53.:02:56.

adjacent operations room outside the perimeter. From there, the sample

:02:57.:03:02.

bottles would be taken from the operations room. The idea of this,

:03:03.:03:10.

and the invitation of it, was accomplished by the combined

:03:11.:03:13.

activity of the second in charge of the Moscow lab, and by the FSB in a

:03:14.:03:22.

secret operation. President Putin has already responded. He says the

:03:23.:03:25.

officials named directly in this report will be suspended until a

:03:26.:03:31.

full investigation is complete stop he is also in bullish mood. -- is

:03:32.:03:33.

complete. To help us understand the story, we

:03:34.:04:15.

turn to the BBC sport editor Dan Roan to assess the damage.

:04:16.:04:20.

This is as big as it gets. This is a watershed moment when it comes to

:04:21.:04:24.

the fight for clean sport. And against cheating in sport. We have

:04:25.:04:30.

seen it in the past, one thinks back to the 1980s, East Germany, the

:04:31.:04:32.

Lance Armstrong era in cycling, as well. Many different doping scandals

:04:33.:04:37.

around the world in different sports. Perhaps nothing quite like

:04:38.:04:42.

this before. Russia is arguably one of the most important, if not the

:04:43.:04:46.

most important, sporting superpower in the world now. It wins lots of

:04:47.:04:50.

medals and it hosts a lot of sporting events, including an

:04:51.:04:55.

Olympics, 2014 the most recent, lots of World Championships in various

:04:56.:04:59.

sports. It has hopes of hosting a summer Olympics in the future.

:05:00.:05:02.

President Putin has used these big events to try to project Russia's

:05:03.:05:07.

image on the world as a progressive nation and one that can be trusted

:05:08.:05:12.

to organise events. The World Cup will be going to Russia in two

:05:13.:05:16.

years' time. The human mediation, you can imagine, that will be dumped

:05:17.:05:20.

on that country if it was dumped out of one of the most prestigious

:05:21.:05:28.

sports event in the world. -- sport events. That is why President Putin

:05:29.:05:33.

has made a statement. Officials will be suspended from Russian Ministry,

:05:34.:05:37.

we have heard. He also says this report was based on the testimony of

:05:38.:05:41.

one man. You can see the battle being drawn. The world anti-doping

:05:42.:05:46.

agency has said crucially that it will recommend to the IOC that they

:05:47.:05:51.

consider a full ban of all of Russia's athletes, the entire team,

:05:52.:05:55.

not just the track and field athletes who have already been

:05:56.:06:01.

banned. In the middle of this is the IOC, the guardians of sport, the

:06:02.:06:05.

guardians of clean sport, and they are under huge pressure from both

:06:06.:06:10.

sides now. From Russia and the world anti-doping agency and athletes

:06:11.:06:14.

around the world. There will be a teleconference from the IOC

:06:15.:06:17.

executive board tomorrow. They are under a lot of pressure to make one

:06:18.:06:20.

of the biggest decision sport has ever seen.

:06:21.:06:25.

The author of this report talked about disappearing positive tests.

:06:26.:06:28.

Have a look at this chart released as part of the report. It shows the

:06:29.:06:35.

range of sports where the disappearances were discovered.

:06:36.:06:38.

Athletics affected the most, weightlifting next. But if you come

:06:39.:06:43.

across this list, so many sports, canoeing, cycling, skating, all the

:06:44.:06:46.

way down to sailing, snowboarding, and table tennis. Then there is also

:06:47.:06:53.

this to show you. This is the medal table from the Winter Olympics in

:06:54.:06:58.

Vancouver 2010. At the top, Canada, no surprise as hosts, but write-down

:06:59.:07:04.

in 11 you can see Russia. -- but all the way down in 11. And let's fast

:07:05.:07:13.

forward to Sochi, all the way up to first position. You expect the hosts

:07:14.:07:17.

to perform well, but that is a pretty big jump with the Canadians

:07:18.:07:24.

going down to third. Let's get the latest from BBC Russia on how the

:07:25.:07:28.

story is playing out. Russia has always used sport to Petraeus how

:07:29.:07:36.

confident it is. -- to show how confident it is. It is a huge part

:07:37.:07:40.

of national pride. Sportsmen have always been awarded medals and

:07:41.:07:46.

orders. It is important the president Putin to keep portraying

:07:47.:07:49.

his sportsmen as an important part of his government, as part his

:07:50.:07:54.

ideology. It is a huge strike for him. He claims... Well, many Russian

:07:55.:08:01.

officials claim that this report is only based on testimony of one

:08:02.:08:07.

person. Who is considered to be a betrayer, eight affected person, in

:08:08.:08:11.

Russia. There is an investigation going which accuses him of various

:08:12.:08:19.

crimes. -- a affected person. It is difficult to find out who is true

:08:20.:08:24.

and false in this. To be clear, President Putin refuses that in

:08:25.:08:28.

Russia, at a state level, organised doping. This statement has already

:08:29.:08:33.

come. The details are still to come. They are not ready to accept this.

:08:34.:08:37.

They have constantly repeated that they actually have fired everyone

:08:38.:08:43.

who was involved, and that now they are meeting all of the standards

:08:44.:08:48.

which are proposed by international organisations. All of this

:08:49.:08:53.

undermines the achievements of the Sochi games. They cost a lot of

:08:54.:08:57.

money. It put Russia on the global stage, not that it needed that, it

:08:58.:09:01.

is already a big country, but it is a big blow as to how those games

:09:02.:09:06.

will be seen. Yes, and it adds to the pressure Russia is under now.

:09:07.:09:09.

This is exactly how this is seen in Russia. It is not a separate

:09:10.:09:14.

investigation in sport, or state media says it is a part of this

:09:15.:09:18.

political agenda, that all of this comes together with the sanctions,

:09:19.:09:24.

and wild accusations, so the atmosphere is heating up. If you

:09:25.:09:30.

speed Russian, you can see that story on BBC Russia. Let's talk

:09:31.:09:36.

about the situation in Turkey. This is how the justice minister is

:09:37.:09:40.

describing what is happening there at the moment.

:09:41.:09:45.

On Friday night there was an attempted coup. Since, thousands of

:09:46.:09:51.

people suspected of involvement in those activities on Friday night

:09:52.:09:55.

have been detained. This video has been released by the authorities. It

:09:56.:10:00.

shows arrested members of the military. In and amongst that group

:10:01.:10:06.

is the former air force commander. He has been described as the

:10:07.:10:09.

ringleader of the failed coup, something he denies, either way this

:10:10.:10:13.

group has been sent to prison until they stand trial. The US is taking a

:10:14.:10:19.

keen interest in this, as you would expect. John Kerry has said we will

:10:20.:10:23.

certainly support bringing perpetrators of the coup to justice.

:10:24.:10:28.

You sense there is a but coming and there is.

:10:29.:10:35.

The EU is also calling on Turkey to exercise restraint. We shall see if

:10:36.:10:42.

this is the week for that message to be heard. Our correspondent is Marko

:10:43.:10:48.

Marin. Let me play you his most recent report. -- Mark Lowen.

:10:49.:10:55.

This was Turkey's slide into chaos - chilling new pictures of war planes

:10:56.:10:59.

flown by rebel soldiers attacking the intelligence agency

:11:00.:11:00.

The authorities opened fire to try to down the jets.

:11:01.:11:04.

Within hours, the takeover had been crushed.

:11:05.:11:06.

But now the backlash - thousands of officials

:11:07.:11:08.

have been rounded up, accused of plotting a coup

:11:09.:11:10.

the government says was led by an exile Islamic cleric.

:11:11.:11:12.

President Erdogan says this was a gift from God

:11:13.:11:14.

One of this man's relatives, a judge, has been detained,

:11:15.:11:19.

How can a judge overturn a government?

:11:20.:11:27.

He doesn't have a gun, he doesn't have anything in his hand.

:11:28.:11:39.

But did he support the military overthrew?

:11:40.:11:45.

-- But did he support the military overthrow?

:11:46.:11:47.

Of course not, who could support the military?

:11:48.:11:49.

My family is really devastated by the news.

:11:50.:11:52.

This has brought Turks together in support of their nation,

:11:53.:11:55.

but not their president - on that, they are still profoundly divided.

:11:56.:11:58.

his critics fearful that the purges will intensify.

:11:59.:12:00.

One side of this fragile country set against the other.

:12:01.:12:03.

The government has spoken of restoring the death penalty.

:12:04.:12:06.

That, says Brussels, would end Turkey's talks to join the EU,

:12:07.:12:16.

but the ex Prime Minister told the BBC

:12:17.:12:18.

criticism of Turkey's response is unjust.

:12:19.:12:19.

Those who have concerns regarding Turkey, they should

:12:20.:12:21.

raise their concerns regarding the coup d'etat,

:12:22.:12:24.

rather than the attempts to stop the coup d'etat.

:12:25.:12:27.

The European Union has failed in this sense, in Egypt,

:12:28.:12:29.

in Syria, in other places, to defend democracy.

:12:30.:12:31.

Turkey is on alert, and there is now a palpable hunger for revenge.

:12:32.:12:34.

Mark Lowen, BBC News, Istanbul.

:12:35.:12:44.

Across the programme we will learn about the man who carried out the

:12:45.:12:51.

Nice attack. More details have been emerging about him and the man who

:12:52.:12:54.

shot dead three police officers in Louisiana yesterday. We have also

:12:55.:13:00.

been getting information on what he posted online in advance of the

:13:01.:13:01.

attack. Labour leadership contender and an

:13:02.:13:11.

eagle is being urged to step down if rival Owen Smith gains more support

:13:12.:13:18.

among MPs. The pair are fighting out the position to stand against Jeremy

:13:19.:13:25.

Corbyn. Our political correspondent has this assessment.

:13:26.:13:30.

Owen Smith has been holding a meeting of his supporters in the

:13:31.:13:34.

House of Commons. I asked him is there going to be a deal, is the

:13:35.:13:37.

talk of a deal. He said there is more talk about this kind of thing

:13:38.:13:41.

then you have had hot dinners. He said we will have to wait and see if

:13:42.:13:45.

there will be a deal between the two. He has said if Angela Eagle got

:13:46.:13:49.

more nominations he would stand down and let her run. Angela Eagle has

:13:50.:13:53.

not said the same thing. I expect there is some expectation from the

:13:54.:14:01.

supporters. We might see some deal. We also might get a statement from

:14:02.:14:06.

Angela Eagle shortly, as well. Things moving quickly, and much more

:14:07.:14:07.

to come. Welcome back to Outside Source. Our

:14:08.:14:19.

lead story is that the world anti-doping agency has called upon

:14:20.:14:24.

the IOC to consider banning Russia from the Rio Olympics. This is all

:14:25.:14:29.

after a report came out today. The report says there is evidence of

:14:30.:14:32.

state-sponsored doping in a range of sports.

:14:33.:14:36.

The main stories from BBC World Service: The murder of social media

:14:37.:14:43.

celebrity continues to be a huge story in Pakistan.

:14:44.:14:45.

Her father has now spoken out in her support. Her brother admits the

:14:46.:14:51.

murder, saying she dishonoured the family.

:14:52.:14:56.

An investigation has begun in China after the personal data of people

:14:57.:15:01.

with HIV was leaked. It was discovered that HIV-positive people

:15:02.:15:04.

were receiving phone calls from fraudsters claiming to be government

:15:05.:15:11.

officials. BBC Chinese is on that. Shoppers at UK's newest IKEA store

:15:12.:15:15.

were trapped up to four hours on Sunday. IKEA said it temporarily

:15:16.:15:20.

shut the car park to allow customers to exit the store.

:15:21.:15:27.

In Westminster parliament is debating whether to renew the UK's

:15:28.:15:32.

nuclear weapons programme known as Trident. Theresa May has already

:15:33.:15:36.

spoken, arguing it should. She says: We knew that Jeremy Corbyn would not

:15:37.:15:52.

agree with that. He has a long-standing opposition to nuclear

:15:53.:15:53.

weapons. He says: It is worth adding that he is out of

:15:54.:16:05.

sync with the official policy of labour which supports Trident, it is

:16:06.:16:07.

a measure of the chronic divisions within the party that this lack of

:16:08.:16:12.

unity feels completely normal right now. Let me show you the pictures

:16:13.:16:16.

coming into the BBC newsroom from Westminster. The debate goes on.

:16:17.:16:20.

Expecting a vote in around 45 minutes. We are expecting the

:16:21.:16:26.

measure to pass. Let's get more details on this. Tom Simon joins us

:16:27.:16:31.

live. This sounds pretty ported, so how come the chamber is almost

:16:32.:16:38.

empty? Pretty normal. Debates last a long

:16:39.:16:42.

time. They will fill up again, those seats, when the vote comes along in

:16:43.:16:47.

about 40, 45 minutes. This will be a hotly fought debate. A vote that

:16:48.:16:52.

will not be close. Most people expect that the vote will go the way

:16:53.:16:59.

of the government. We have seen a lot of arguments over the years

:17:00.:17:04.

about Trident. It has been around since 1994 and nuclear weapons have

:17:05.:17:07.

been around for a lot longer. Some of the arguments felt familiar. The

:17:08.:17:12.

arguments about deterrence, the argument that we need to deter an

:17:13.:17:21.

attack on the UK. One unpublished figure of renewing it has been put

:17:22.:17:29.

at ?31 billion. The cost of running it being very high indeed over its

:17:30.:17:32.

lifetime, something like ?180 billion. The key moment came in this

:17:33.:17:40.

debate, which released showed the difference between Theresa May and

:17:41.:17:44.

Jeremy Corbyn, was when an SNP MP asked Theresa May if she would

:17:45.:17:48.

launch an attack with Trident which might kill 100,000 people. Not a

:17:49.:17:52.

question which is easy to answer. She was straight in with yes. She

:17:53.:17:56.

said there is no point in having a deterrent if you are not prepared to

:17:57.:18:00.

use it. Jeremy Corbyn was asked the same questions later, and his answer

:18:01.:18:05.

was no. If he was in power, Trident would go, you could imagine from

:18:06.:18:08.

that response. Thanks very much.

:18:09.:18:18.

Let's begin by talking about a massive technology deal. Britain's

:18:19.:18:25.

biggest technology company has been bought by a Japanese company for the

:18:26.:18:30.

price of around ?24 billion. The British firm is ARM Holdings. It

:18:31.:18:38.

designs microchips for smartphones. It might be the most important UK

:18:39.:18:40.

company you have never heard of. Last year alone, 15 billion

:18:41.:18:43.

microchips designed by ARM found their way into mobiles,

:18:44.:18:45.

laptops and other devices Based in Cambridge, it is the crown

:18:46.:18:47.

jewel of the UK technology industry, and soon it will belong to this

:18:48.:18:51.

man's private company. I am very excited to

:18:52.:18:54.

make this announcement. This is a company that I have

:18:55.:18:55.

admired for the last ten years. I want to ask you why suddenly

:18:56.:19:05.

this deal has been done, and whether Brexit and

:19:06.:19:08.

the devaluation of sterling had I would have made this decision

:19:09.:19:10.

at this timing regardless It is the biggest investment

:19:11.:19:17.

ever by an Asian company in the UK, and that is music

:19:18.:19:23.

to a new Chancellor's ears. ARM is a great success story,

:19:24.:19:28.

and the fact that a Japanese company just three weeks

:19:29.:19:31.

after the referendum decision, is prepared to make this kind

:19:32.:19:33.

of commitment to the UK and commit to grow that business here in the UK

:19:34.:19:36.

is a resounding endorsement of the resilience of the British

:19:37.:19:39.

economy, and the attractiveness of Britain's as a place

:19:40.:19:41.

for international companies Others question the wisdom

:19:42.:19:43.

of letting our best companies fall It goes completely contrary

:19:44.:19:55.

to what Theresa May has been saying she wants the industrial strategy

:19:56.:19:58.

and takeover regime to be. It may be a perfectly

:19:59.:20:04.

good Japanese company, but this is our last big,

:20:05.:20:06.

British high-tech company going under foreign ownership

:20:07.:20:09.

without a proper test. SoftBank has promised to double

:20:10.:20:11.

the number of UK-based employees and keep the headquarters

:20:12.:20:14.

in Cambridge, but for the company's founder, there was little

:20:15.:20:16.

cause for celebration. ARM is the proudest achievement

:20:17.:20:24.

of my life, and this is a very sad day for me and a sad day

:20:25.:20:27.

for high-technology in Britain, because ARM has been such

:20:28.:20:30.

a phenomenal global success. Cambridge's old-fashioned charm

:20:31.:20:38.

belies its high-tech prowess, but it only has one ARM,

:20:39.:20:42.

and while still strong, that has lost control

:20:43.:20:45.

of its own destiny. I want to get into some interesting

:20:46.:20:58.

new research out today. It is about generations and how wealthy they

:20:59.:21:02.

are. Normally each generation becomes more wealthy than the next

:21:03.:21:05.

but that does not appear to be continuing. Generation X, those born

:21:06.:21:13.

between 1966 and 1980, and millennial 's, let's see the

:21:14.:21:19.

difference. Millennial 's and ?8,000 less in their 20s than those in

:21:20.:21:26.

generation X. -- millennials. You see these statistics and you

:21:27.:21:36.

immediately think... Wrong person, sorry. The question is, why do we

:21:37.:21:43.

think this pattern which has been going on for many years has been

:21:44.:21:48.

reversed? The financial crisis is a big factor. Many of those who were

:21:49.:21:53.

coming out of school at that point, entering the labour market just at

:21:54.:21:58.

that point when globally the economy was in the doldrums, you are seeing

:21:59.:22:04.

high unemployment rates, and wages were kept very low. Some countries

:22:05.:22:09.

are only starting to recover. That is not the only reason. If you look

:22:10.:22:14.

in America, you have the high cost of university. Some researchers

:22:15.:22:19.

suggesting that actually millennials are jumping on the first jobs they

:22:20.:22:24.

can get. Even if the prospects are not good and the pay is not good,

:22:25.:22:27.

just because of the level of debt they are carrying. In the UK, this

:22:28.:22:31.

report you are citing talks about the lack of paper is. It blamed in

:22:32.:22:36.

part the fact that older generations with good pension schemes, those

:22:37.:22:43.

companies are seeing firms trying to keep a venue employees lower so they

:22:44.:22:49.

can cover the pension costs of older generations. That is another factor

:22:50.:22:53.

they talk about as being part of the problem. The cost of all of this is

:22:54.:22:58.

you are seeing this younger generation putting off huge

:22:59.:23:02.

financial decisions. Whether that is moving out, living with their

:23:03.:23:06.

parents, buying a house, getting married, big financial decisions are

:23:07.:23:10.

being delayed. Interesting, thanks very much for joining us from New

:23:11.:23:19.

York. We are going to speak to Catty. The Republican convention has

:23:20.:23:25.

started. This is part of the final process of selecting the Republican

:23:26.:23:30.

candidate. Unless something strange happens it is likely to be Donald

:23:31.:23:36.

Trump. But on that very issue, things are getting interesting.

:23:37.:23:41.

Reuters are telling us that there has been uproar after a failure of

:23:42.:23:44.

symbolic vote that would have allowed Donald Trump foes to

:23:45.:23:48.

register their opposition to the Trump candidacy. I don't understand

:23:49.:23:56.

that, but Catty does. What is happening? This is amazing. You join

:23:57.:24:02.

me as news is happening at a political convention. These events

:24:03.:24:08.

are normally smooth. A few moments ago we had cries, you can probably

:24:09.:24:15.

see behind me, of doing from delegates on the floor who are

:24:16.:24:21.

opposed to Donald Trump. -- booing. There is a procedure going on at the

:24:22.:24:27.

moment. The committee chairmen are trying to stop people opposing. A

:24:28.:24:37.

lot of delegates are not happy. You are getting this counter conflict

:24:38.:24:47.

going on of chanting of USA, those for Donald Trump, and the cries of

:24:48.:24:54.

those who are against him. They don't want the embarrassment of

:24:55.:24:58.

having a roll call on the convention floor and seeing all of those people

:24:59.:25:01.

who don't support him. The convention committee would like to

:25:02.:25:04.

shut that down, which is why they have tried to stonewall this

:25:05.:25:09.

procedural roll call vote. It would not mean very much because there are

:25:10.:25:13.

not enough people who are opposed to Donald Trump to stop him getting

:25:14.:25:20.

nominated and ratified by this, but they don't want the embarrassment of

:25:21.:25:24.

having it and all of the delegates standing up saying, no, we don't

:25:25.:25:29.

like him. Never a dull moment. Keep it up-to-date with anything else

:25:30.:25:35.

that happens. -- keep us. If you would like any more background on

:25:36.:25:38.

the Republican National Convention and the Democratic one that is

:25:39.:25:42.

coming up very soon, you can get that online on the BBC News website

:25:43.:25:55.

and the BBC news app. I will be back in a couple of minutes' time.

:25:56.:25:56.
