Donald Trump and Hillary clinton have both been explaining how

they will fight the so called Islamic State group -

we'll discuss that in half an hour with Katty Kay.

And I've got a special report from Ukraine's border with Crimea,

as tensions on the peninsula are rising.

We will connect with all the latest at the Olympics but before that I

want to talk about Ukraine. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei

Lavrov today appealed for calm after the latest flare up

with Ukraine over the annexed Last week Moscow accused Kiev

of armed attacks into the region. Our Correspondent, Tom Burridge,

sent this report from This is how a summer holiday here

starts RNs. This is not an international border for much of the

world. Everyone here is Ukranian. Their homes, hotels or family on the

other side in Russian controlled Crimea. After Russian claims of a

Ukrainian inspired plot, relations between the countries have hit a new

low. Russian security agency claims hidden explosives in its video here

were intended for targets in Crimea. Ukraine says the whole story is a

fake. This video shows one of the accused.

His brother believes he's talking and rest and shows signs of torture

in another FSP film in which he makes another apparent confession.

His face is very swollen. He served until last August in Ukraine's work

in the east of the country but until he went missing a few days ago he

was a minibus driver. His brother thinks he was abducted and says the

idea he was in a special forces team is preposterousness of physically he

couldn't do it. He is overweight, he has a knee injury and hard breath.

He is a victim of political action. Truth or fake, Ukraine has put its

military on high alert after Russia said it would respond, but in the

Ukrainian region next to Crimea, few threat. Possibly only about less

based to some vague here because many Ukrainians now will not holiday

in Russian held Crimea. The atmosphere here in southern Ukraine

is relaxed because the idea of Russian military action here just

across the water from Crimea is on paper unlikely. The increase in

tension and rhetoric from Moscow is probably part of a wider strategy.

Russia has moved surface to air missiles on to Crimea. DS 400 can

shoot down a plane 1400 kilometres away. At the end of last week the

Russian navy held drills to deal with saboteurs in Crimea and Russian

word games began today in the Mediterranean. Tensions could be

aimed at influencing peace talks with Russian backed separatists to

the east. Crimea's at Minnesota border disrupts Ukrainian lives.

Ratcheting up the tension here destabilises the country. In this

south of Ukraine, calm, but after Russia's annexation of Crimea,

Ukraine and its allies have learned to expect the unexpected. Russia's

political strategy is rarely clear. Let's turn to South Africa, where a

court has sentenced a woman to ten years in prison for kidnapping a

baby. Zephany Nurse was

taken 19 years ago. The 51-year-old woman -

who is not being named - was arrested last year

after suspicions were raised when there was a similar-looking

girl at the child's school. DNA tests showed the

girls were sisters. Closure after nearly 20 years

of unanswered questions. The Nurse family have

welcomed the 10-year sentence imposed on the woman who

kidnapped their baby when she was I don't think there is any sentence

that will ever justify We are happy, over the moon,

but now it is all healing now. Celeste Nurse was

an 18-year-old mother stolen by a women dressed as a nurse

from her bedside in this Her identity came to light

in a remarkable coincidence when the Nurses' younger daughter

started school and became friends with a girl who bore

a striking resemblance to her. DNA tests later confirmed that

Zephany had been found. The now 19-year-old Zephany had been

living in this home just a few kilometres from her biological

parents this whole time. The 52-year-old woman

who had raised Zephany as her own has denied

any wrongdoing. During sentencing, the judge slammed

the woman, who cannot be identified for legal

reasons, for showing no Now Zephany, whose identity

is being protected, is expecting her own child,

and her family hopes this The day she's going to give

birth to her child, that that child will not be stolen,

she will get clarity with her own feelings and her own emotions

because that is the child she is I want her to feel how

her own mother felt. Zephany has returned

to the man who raised her after being reunited

with her biological parents. The Nurse family say that even

after this time they still do not have

their daughter back. For over a month the

Indian-administered state of Kashmir has been consumed

by lethal violence. More than 50 people have been killed

and more than 5000 injured in clashes between

police and protesters. They want independence

for the region. Justin Rowlatt has been there -

and sent this report. Kashmir is at a standstill during

the day but every evening the troops pull out. Then it is the protesters'

turn. Tear and smoke cannot protect the soldiers from the stones that

come from all directions. You don't know where the stones are coming

from. The problem is that they are running out of options in Kashmir.

India has ruled out independence but says it will not talk to hardline

separatists and has already devolved considerable powers. So it has

little option but to pour in more forces and hope the anger dies away.

But it shows few signs of doing that. This spate of violence in this

Muslim majority region, the worst in years, began more than a month ago

when a young militant was killed by security forces. Tens of thousands

turned out for his funeral. This is the first time his father has spoken

on television. TRANSLATION: His death has triggered a revolution, to

get freedom from India. India is determined that will not be the case

and last week the Indian Prime Minister tried to calm Kashmir.

TRANSLATION: The independence every Indian has, every Kashmiri has as

well. But there is a danger the Indian strategy will just entrench

militancy and violence. In the hospitals, the sunglasses hide

horrific eye injuries, the result of shotguns used to control the crowds,

and it isn't just shotguns. This is his blood? You say this is the

bullet that killed your son. TRANSLATION: Today it is my son,

tomorrow it will be someone else's. The police defend their tactics. Our

boys have firearms, they are not using them, there is restraint.

There are claims those weapons are used on protesters. It has happened

only in those cases where isolated troops are almost lynched. But

India's approach does not look restraint and Kashmir is not just a

local issue. India and Pakistan, both nuclear powers, claimed the

region, and until a long-term solution can be found here, Kashmir

will retain -- remains a potential flash point for a much

We'll report from the US shortly, because President Obama has declared

the US state of Louisiana a disaster area after unprecedented flooding.

Earlier, family and friends gave their reaction

Inevitably angry, frustrated, annoyed, overwhelmed.

What questions are going around in your head?

Because the damage is done, you've got to try to develop

preventatives through this, for example that's why I say

as soon as they deploy a taser, you've got to deploy an ambulance.

He was larger than life, one of the big characters

I got to the football club and Dalian was the one who stuck out

He always had a lot to say but he was a very funny guy.

and Alabama have also been affected, And with more rain due,

the true impact will only be known We will keep across that story on

the BBC. Let's turn to business News now.

The gossip website Gawker is fighting for its very survival.

They've filed for a bankruptcy auction - and today is the deadline

for preliminary bids for the struggling firm.

Samira Hussain is in New York for us.

Why this company, it is very well known around the world as a media

brand, why aren't they in bankruptcy? This goes back to a

lawsuit that they lost filed by the former professional wrestler Hulk

Hogan. He filed this lawsuit against them for invasion of privacy. Gawker

lost that but what makes the story interesting is that the person

funding the lawsuit was Peter Keel. He is a Silicon Valley tycoon, you

may remember him as one of the founders of PayPal. He funded this

lawsuit because he had an axe to grind against Gawker, as he alleges

they quoted him as being gay in 2007 and as a result he has had a

vendetta against them, so earlier this year, Gawker loses the lawsuit,

has to pay $140 million, cannot afford it and is trying to sell

themselves so they can stay afloat. I guess they will need to sell for

140 million. So now the question is who will throw their name into the

heart? Want media company had already suggested they were

interested, Ziff, but there are other players who could be

interested, online cup publications like Vox media for traditional media

like New York magazine. The challenge will be for the companies

to come up with that kind of cash, someone who can afford that $140

million Bill. Thank you. A new law is set to comes

into effect in South Korea next month, how much can be spent

on entertaining business people. The idea is it will help

to fight corruption - but many argue the law

is too draconian. Our Seoul correspondent

Stephen Evans wondered what the consequences

might be - over a business lunch. This is a very nice restaurant. In

the middle of soul and its classic is must enter detainment territory,

but the rules will change next month. There will be strict limits

on this kind of timing. I have with me a government official and a

businessman. Under the new rules, entertainment will be limited to

about $30 a in restaurants and you cannot give gifts of more than $50

ahead. Cash gifts, which are traditionally given at weddings,

cannot be more than $100 ahead. And one of the intriguing things is that

teachers are covered in this because parents give get stewed teachers to

get more attention for their children.

The government wants to do things for the citizens and people. The

loophole is that the law is focusing on the small individual journalists,

but you have still 20 odd newspapers here, and the only way they can

survive is through advertising subsidies by the big conglomerates

here and of course in return for getting the advertising, the

newspapers are very careful about writing critical stories about these

corporations. Oh, dear, the bill has arrived! It is more than $30 ahead.

But it is lucky the new law doesn't come in place for a month, otherwise

we would all be in deep trouble. Steve Evans there.

Let's take a look at the Olympics medal table.

It is one month since the attempted coup in Turkey and since then tens

of thousands of people have been detained and displaced. Today court

cases have been raided and prosecutors and judicial workers

arrested. There have been angry exchanges between Turkey and western

powers, but how have these affected the country?

A scene from hell unleashed by rebel soldiers.

A coup attempt that ultimately failed.

Today they guard a building whose scars remain.

Turkey's seat of power gouged by rockets.

Halls where political debate raged are now just mangled debris.

Those almost overthrown say it has united the country.

When it comes to attacking our democracy

in such a cowardly manner, we will stand together.

What do you say to criticism from Western governments

that enemies are being rounded up and that Turkey's EU accession talks

They are more concerned about the coup plotters,

those cowards, than they are for the Turkish people.

I'm sorry, this is what the Turkish people say, we're disappointed.

This is when you realise the enormity of what happened.

The heart of Turkey's democracy hit by its own people.

But has the government gone too far in its response?

Over 23,000 have been detained or arrested.

Around 80,000 suspended, accused of backing the coup or the

alleged mastermind, the excelled cleric Fethullah Gulen, whose

A battle in Aleppo between rebel forces and government troops

continues. The BBC has been hearing what life is like in the city for

its residents. At the moment everything is OK,

after the breaking of the siege Especially when the way to Aleppo

is open, that we can get some Bread is available, everything

today is easy to access. People can't find safety living

here, because the situation is so bad because of the rockets

that Assad and the Russians and their colleagues are throwing

over our free city of Aleppo. So the civilians do not feel any

kind of safety living here. I live in a rebel held areas, life

is not easy here but for the last week it has been even worse, the

Russian regime are targeting every hospital and all neighbourhoods,

especially those which are near to the front lines, now I am talking to

you, there is an attack near our place where I live. Thank you to

them both for speaking to the BBC from Aleppo. Another half are to

come. I will begin this forecast talking
