Hello, I'm Nuala McGovern, this is Outside Source.

The Rio Olympics Games start later this week.

But the water at some of the venues is still filthy,

Cleaning up the water was one of the key promises

I'm Babita Sharma in Rio, I've been asking the city's mayor

He says there is nothing to worry about.

What you have is some reports saying for example, the beaches in Rio has

bacteria that kills you. All of the population of Rio would be dead for

now if it was true. You've probably heard by now

about the row between Donald Trump and the parents of a Muslim soldier

who died serving Well the BBC have spoken to Mr

and Mrs Khan, I'll play A Russian military helicopter has

been shot down in Syria, Moscow says it was on a

humanitarian mission. And I've got a report to show

you about how the mobile game Pokemon Go has been helping a young

man with autism. Just days before the opening

of the Olympics Games, a new study by the Associated Press

says that Rio's That's not good news

for the 1,400 athletes who take Raw human sewage is the main

problem. The most contaminated points

are the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, where rowing will take place,

and the Gloria Marina, the starting In March last year, sampling

at the Lagoon revealed an astounding 1.73 billion

adenoviruses per litre. That is a family of viruses

that cause infections This June, the readings were lower,

but still high at 248 Compare that to California,

where viral readings in the thousands per litre

are enough to set off alarm bells. Let's get more from

Babita Sharma in Rio. Thank you. It is that report that

many people are focusing on today, it was published in the early hours

of Monday. With just the Olympics starting days away. With all those

concerns about whether or not the waterways are fit for purpose, we

are expecting around 1400 athletes to be taking part in those events

taking place in one of our pay and Lagua where you mentioned, the

canoeing is taking place. -- Guarnabara Bay. Those athletes could

for violently ill according to the Associated Press. It depends who you

speak to. Officials saying that is not the case, they are doing regular

tests, hour by hour, day by day and passing the rules and regulations

required in order for the water to be safe to compete in. That is

something very much in the uppermost of people's mines, is this city

ready to stage its first Olympics in South America? -- people's minds.

The city's, has become the face of these Olympics and I asked him

earlier specifically about the waterways and whether or not he had

concerns ahead of the start of the game on Friday.

Anxious, but things are working pretty well, the venues are ready,

the city is ready, everybody is getting excited. It will be amazing.

Anxious, why? It is not easy to bring such a big event to a city, it

is spread all over the city but it is working well. I am optimistic and

anxious, if I was not anxious things would probably not work out. It is

good to be optimistic because there is a lot of criticism at the moment.

Particularly about the waterways, saying they are just not ready.

Dangerous levels of contamination in Guarnabara Bay and Lagoa. Sailing,

rowing, canoeing. The athletes shouldn't even be there is the

latest we are hearing, what is your assessment? The World Health

Organisation does not say that. You have some reports saying that the

beaches in Rio has bacteria that kills you. But all of the population

of Rio would be dead right now if that was true. What you can see in

Rio is Copacabana beach and everyone in the water. Lots of exaggeration.

We face problems especially in Guarnabara Bay, but it is not an

Olympic problem. Because where the sailing race will be held is the

entrance of Guarnabara Bay, it is pretty clear. Two types of events in

the past two years, it will work properly. There is always

exaggeration. Let me ask you about the Olympic Village and athlete

Village in particular. The Australian athletes who have

travelled a very long way to be here, they complained about toilet

blockages, wiring not being right, there was a fire outbreak in one of

their residences. You said, I can promise you a kangaroo to allay

their fears. Surely that is not the right terminology for somebody in

your position? No, sadly I did not use only that terminology. I know a

bit about diplomacy, we know about people, we want people to feel

welcome, we would know about Europeans. We said, they are right,

we have a problem here. To excuse myself from them, we will fix the

problem and make them feel at home and we will get a kangaroo in front

of their building. They brought a kangaroo. Do you wish you hadn't

have said that to them? I excuse myself because when you only get

that phrase it is impolite, which is something I am not in Brazil is

specially is not. We are a very open country,

we don't fight, we don't go to war, this is a safe place. We are very

welcoming. We did not want to get rid of economic and political blocs,

we are a fine country and we are very proud of our country. What do

you hope the legacy will be of Rio 2016? The legacy, I just told you,

when you look at downtown Rio, the poor areas are completely renovated.

The sewage system we are building in the poor areas, 100% sewage, the

training around the Maracana, people have been using it. Now is party

time, we know how to throw a party much better than everyone else.

Edward pies, the mayor of Rio. He said to me, feeling quite anxious

about the coming days -- Eduardo Paes that he is also enthusiastic.

-- but he is also optimistic. He leaves his post after a number of

years at the end of this year, it is in his interest to make sure it goes

according to plan. Everybody is looking at the city. You are in a

prime location to show our viewers a bit of what is behind you in that

beautiful city. We are really lucky, feeling lucky all day because it is

Brazilian winter here. 27 degrees, which is perfect for me from London.

This is what we can see. Pristine, brand-new, ready to go. This is what

the authorities want us to see, the Olympic Park in the centre of your

screen. Tennis Centre, the large circular building. Behind that, we

have the official, one of two buildings, the aquatic centre, which

will be home to the water polo events and the swimming. To the

left, three Cariocas, hosting tae kwon do, judo, and just in front of

it, I think you can see a shot of that, a pretty mammoth building,

that is the velodrome. It will be home to the cycling. Into the far

left of that, gymnastics. And then the maria lank aquatics centre,

second purpose-built, the famous Brazilian athlete we will see

synchronised swimming. Underwater swimming events. Looking pretty

good. The true test will be when people descend on here. We are

expecting half a million visitors. Tickets sold as we speak, about 20%

is left of the venues to fill the capacity. Interesting to see how

this shapes our particular with infrastructure with the Newmachar

line connecting this part of the city to the South zone that has just

opened up today. So far so good but time will tell. A whole new era for

Rio. Looking forward to speaking to you throughout the week on outside

source. A story coming out of the United

States. The mother of a dead American Muslim

soldier has hit back at Donald Trump for questioning her silence

during a speech by her husband. Her husband, Khizr Khan,

attacked the Republican nominee in an emotional speech

to the Democratic National Mr Trump later suggested Mrs Khan

may not have been allowed to speak. In their first interview

with the international media, Mr and Mrs Khan spoke

to our North American editor, Donald Trump, in an escalating war

of words with the Muslim family of a fall in US soldier. This is one

fight people are telling Donald Trump they can't win but at the

moment he is not listening -- he can't win. Complaining again on

social media he had been a subject of a vicious attack by the family.

Their speech about the death of their son, an American Muslim

posthumously awarded a Bronze Star, purple heart for heroism has

electrified politics. It was at the Democratic convention. When I met

them, I asked them, had they committed a vicious attack on Mr

trump? He can insult, disrespect women,

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

of this country, a patriotic American Muslim of this country says

anything about him, he says he has been viciously attacked. He has

different sets of rights. No, we all have the same, equal rights. They

were derided by Mr Trump for not having spoken at the convention but

what was her reaction? Everyone in the audience felt that without

saying a word I was sitting in their heart. I was surprised he doesn't

feel the pain. What type of person doesn't feel that pain when you see

it. You are attacking Mr Trump over his behaviour, very openly. Isn't

there a danger that you are going to get attacked openly as well? In

every person's life, there comes a time when you choose to either save

what is the call of the time or shy away. I felt, my family supported my

stance, we said we should do that. The burden we will equally bear. The

normal raw politics is that if you are in a hole, you stop digging --

normal law. That is not Donald Trump's style. Not over the family

this time but a right old tangle towards the policy towards Ukraine

and having previously said he had a close relationship with Vladimir

Putin, he has now clarified he has never actually met him. It's not

been a great few days for the Republican candidate.

Criticism against Donald Trump hasn't been restricted

Many inside the Republican Party have also begun to distance

themselves from their candidate on this matter.

He's said, "While our Party has bestowed upon him the nomination,

it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those

Over the last hour, or so Donald Trump has been

addressing a crowd of supporters in Columbus, Ohio.

Soon after beginning, he stated his support

You know, Hillary will be nothing more than four more years of Obama,

four more years of Isis, four more years of a military that is being

depleted and not taking care of our vets. She said a few months ago our

vets are being taken off, just fine. She said, no, no, it is over

exaggerated, I know the vets, I have tremendous support with vets, raised

a lot of money and gave a lot of money to vets. I will tell you

something, the vets are not being taken care of well, at all.

Katty Kay is in our Washington studio.

Great to have you with us. I feel like there has been a number of

times we have talked about various gaffes, Jon Sobel might have said,

tangles, Donald Trump got into. Will this latest one make a difference

with his Corps supporters? Interestingly, reporters who are in

that hall where he is speaking right now, they are saying amongst his

supporters, this controversy over the Khan family doesn't matter very

much. It matters to the people in the Republican party. Another

Republican saying I am dismayed about the attack and I am appalled,

the list goes on, couple of pages of quotes from Republicans not happy

about what Mr Trump said. It will be interesting to see depending on how

long this lasts in this kind of hyperkinetic media cycle we are in,

whether you get Republicans coming out and saying I can't endorse the

candidate any more. That would be the next step. So far that hasn't

happened but a lot of Republicans all quoted as saying that these

attacks were a mistake from Mr Trump. That is quite interesting to

talk about, endorsements because the Republican convention is over and a

lot of people feel signed, sealed and delivered. But how important are

these next couple of months with, I don't know, newspapers, grandees of

the Republican party speaking out, can they make a difference? I think

if they were going to, they would make a difference to the opinion

polls. Basically, you have a lull with August coming up, they don't

pay much attention probably to the political campaign until middle of

September when the first debate happens. It will be televised

between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. That will be a very important

moment in the campaign. It is sort of hard to believe there are many

Americans after a year of this seemingly endless election cycle

that there are many Americans left to haven't made up their minds

between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. If there are some yet to be

persuaded, that debate will probably be a critical moment but so were

voices from within the Republican party. That can go both ways.

Because Donald Trump can say, the establishment of the party is

attacking me. I am the antiestablishment candidate, that is

why you have always loved me. I am not sure how much weight they have

but we will see. We will see if many more voices come out over this issue

or any other foreign policy issue. Thank you. We will catch you later

on world News America. Coming up in Outside Source

business, we'll talk about the online taxi firm Uber,

which is merging with its Chinese A man who tried to behead a commuter

at a London Underground station has been jailed for life. He was

apparently inspired by so-called Islamic State had a history of

mental illness. Is our home affairs correspondent June Kelly has been

speaking to the victim on that day. He was about to exit the Chew and I

remember something shocking happening but I don't remember what

the shocking event was -- exit the tube. I remember being punched and

kicked on the ground and lost consciousness. I found myself being

looked after, expertly, by a junior doctor. What about your throat being

slashed? I was asleep for that. Because your throat was slashed

three times. I could see in the medical reports

that there were three wounds to my neck.

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

A report from the Associated Press says the water at some Olympic

venues in Rio is still filthy, despite years of promises

Let's take a look at some of the stories that our language services

are covering today. US authorities have warned women

who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant to avoid an area of Miami

because of the threat 14 people in Florida are thought

to have contracted A leading air crash expert says

he believes flight MH370 Larry Vance told an Australian news

programme that a recovered wing section shows evidence

that it was extended, That's one of the most read stories

on the BBC News app. The city trader who was jailed

for Britain's biggest-ever banking fraud said crimes

like his could happen again, as workers are under pressure

to make profits "no matter what." Kweku Adoboli said he was

sorry for his actions - but he thinks the culture of banking

hasn't sufficiently changed. He spoke exclusively

to our Economics Editor Ka-MAL Ahmed He spoke exclusively

to our Economics Editor KamaL Ahmed. He became the very public face of

the worst excesses of banking, jailed and Fur ever known as the

biggest rogue trader in British banking history. One of the

difficult things about coming out of prison is that there is a lot of

work to rebuild your life. Today, four years after his conviction,

gone are the ?360,000 per year pay packet. He is dependent on friends

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

journey into criminality. We started, you know, trying to spread

our wings and make profits. Because, in 2009, we were being asked by our

senior managers to take more risk. As we got through 2010 and 2011, as

we were generating more profits, we started to be told to spread our

wings even more. So, you know, we would get e-mails coming through,

revenue, revenue, revenue. The court heard dramatic evidence of that hunt

for revenue. Fictitious accounts, secret slush runs, he was called the

Master fraudster, out of control as bets on the market went wrong and he

tried to hide increasing losses. Britain's biggest ever fraud, jail

for the rogue city trader who lost more than ?1 billion. Kweku Adoboli

Was sentenced to seven years in prison. Now, he is looking for

redemption. I have apologised and I will

continue apologising. I am devastated, not for myself, but

for my institution and the people I worked with. These are not just

devices, it is how I feel, I failed. I made mistakes. You will called a

liar. I was called a liar and I accept I lied, I was dishonest in

the way I was doing things. Has your behaviour changed in banking enough?

-- has behaviour changed. Absolutely not. The young people I have spoken

to, former colleagues I have spoken to, are still struggling with the

same issues. The same conflicts. The same pressures. To achieve, no

matter what. This is one Finsbury Avenue in central London, the home

of UBS equities training and where Kweku Adoboli used to work. --

equities trading. Since his conviction, the banking sector, has

culture changed? There are thousands more compliance officers, there are

thousands more pages of regulation. But, at its simplest, banking is a

mixture of money, profit and risk. That can be a toxic combination.

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

back, Kweku Adoboli older now, maybe wiser, can never work in banking

again. It has been a long journey. It would be wonderful if we could

turn the page and start the next step. But, yeah...

For Kweku Adoboli, a new legal battles. He is fighting extradition

back to where he was born, Garner. He says he has something to offer

the UK, giving advice on encouraging traders away from criminal

behaviour. -- where he was born in Ghana.

The Chinese online taxi hailing firm Didi Chuxing says it is to take

control of Uber's business in the country, ending

Uber's China business will retain its separate branding,

and Uber China's shareholders will receive a 20% stake

Tell us a bit about why this deal is so significant. It is really

significant because it shows the kind of difficulties that

non-Chinese companies have, when trying to establish themselves in

China. UberAdoboli is a giant in this sharing economy. But it was not

able to make a go of it in China. -- Uber is a giant. The lesson is that

the kinds of mistakes, the kinds of ways they went about it, and perhaps

the lessons for other American companies that are really trying to

gain a foothold in China. Basically, the messages, it is pretty tough

business. Thank you. I will bring you a tweet. We have

talked about the real Olympics, what about this one?

Almost 49% of all consumers in Brazil have experienced some kind of

card fraud in the past five years. Data theft, for example, in Brazil

accounted for more than $4 billion in losses back in 2013. I want to

play you one expert who has tips on how to keep yourself safe.

The type of fraud is obviously varied and multimodal, some people

have their cards copied. And the fraudster can use that cards in good

old-fashioned magnetic stripe machines and like the ones we heard

used instead of chips. Sometimes more sophisticated, people having

fishing attacks, sending e-mails and being tricked into giving out

information they shouldn't. Last time I was in Brazil, I am still

getting a text message periodically every two weeks, it starts with

obrigado, claiming to be from Uber. My Portuguese colleagues are telling

me it is asking me to press on a link, which if I press on that link,

I will be introducing some malware onto my phone. A classic example of

what it is called SMSpshing. The main thing is make sure your card is

in sight. Report it to your bank. It is worth keeping in contact with

your bank and if your bank knows you are travelling into Rio or Brazil,

it is more likely to apply the right risk checks it is doing when the

card is used. You can subscribe to these alert services so you can see

when your card is being used, usually to reassure you get is you.

If you're getting texts which were not you using the card, that is your

job to phone the bank. Some tips to keep you safe. More

stories from Rio and Brazil in the second half of this programme but

that is the end of this half hour. Thank you for watching.
