There are now calls for a complete ban on Russia from this

year's Rio Olympics, which start next month.

It was the most expensive Olympics in history,

and for Russia and its president, a triumph -

the hosts topping the medal table at their own Winter Games,

but now we know Sochi 2014 was a sham.

A devastating report today confirming allegations

of a doping regime stretching back from 2011 to 2014,

and which went right to the top,

with the help of the country's secret service.

The Russian Minister of Sport directed, controlled and oversaw

the manipulation of results and sample swapping,

with the active participation and assistance of the FSB.

But it did not stop at Sochi. The cheating extended to World

Championships it hosted in athletics in 2013 and in swimming last year.

We do know that every single positive first screened in the

Moscow laboratory was sent up the train of command and an order sent

back down. That has two effect every single sport. Across the board. The

report vindicates the shock allegations of the man at the centre

of the scandal, the whistle-blower. Seen here in a Russian documentary

are now in hiding in the United States at the former head of

Moscow's anti-doping laboratory claimed in May he had helped dozens

of athletes to cheat. The Sochi laboratory was at the centre of a

plot that made positive samples simply disappear. Here in a secret

area, he worked through the night to break into supposedly secure crooks

test bottles, tamper with their contents and returned them clean

through a hole in the wall, enabling crush on cheats to compete. Today

the International Olympic Committee described the revelations as...

We need to see the IOC come out with an announcement very soon. I am

hoping it would be a blanket ban on the Russian athletics Federation and

every single Russian sport in the Olympics. Despite previous Russian

denials and their insistence they have cleaned up their act, anyone

that to mean a total ban from the Olympics, which starts in under

three weeks. The track and field team has already been banned as

punishment for state-sponsored doping. The question now, whether

Russia will be in Rio de Janeiro at all.

It is tempting to say, here we go again, but it is the scale of the

allegations that have been met with almost universal shock. The fact

that the cheating seems to have been going on in the build-up to London

2012. The fact that it affected Paralympic as well as Olympic

sports. The fact it affected 580 positive tests covered up across 13

different sports. It is significant that the World Anti-Doping Agency

has said it will recommend a total Russian ban at Rio de Janeiro.

Vladimir Putin has condemned doping but says it is based on the

testimony of one man, but there will be officials suspended. But the IOC

is important, they will meet tomorrow and must make one of the

biggest decisions the sport has ever faced.

Theresa May has used her first Commons statement as Prime Minister

to urge MPs to back the renewal of Britain's ageing

She warned it would be irresponsible to abandon the Trident programme.

Said control, take the submarine to action stations. Even in rehearsal,

it is the most tense moment. Action stations. Pressing the nuclear

button on board a nuclear submarine. Even keeping Britain's ability to do

so a huge source of political tension still. Theresa May, making

what will become a familiar journey from number ten to the Commons

dispatch box. I called the Prime Minister. She chose a vote on

Trident as her first test as Prime Minister, and a moment of huge

awkwardness for the Labour Party. The Tories broadly united, Labour

deeply split. We have waited long enough, it is time to get on with

building the next generation of our nuclear deterrent. It is time to

take this essential decision to deter the most extreme threats to

our society and preserve our way of life for generations to come. Is she

prepared to authorise a nuclear strike that could kill 100,000

innocent people? Yes. And I have to say, the whole point

of a deterrent is that our enemies need to know that we would be

prepared to use it. Despite our differences on some issues, we have

always argued for the name of a nuclear free world. We might differ

on how it is going to be achieved, but we are united in our commitment

to that end. I do not believe the threat of mass murder is a

legitimate way to go about dealing with international relations. Last

year, conference voted overwhelmingly in favour of

maintenance of the nuclear deterrent, so why are we not hearing

a defence of the Government's motion from the dispatch box? Because

Jeremy Corbyn is a lifelong opponent of nuclear weapons, one of the

things his supporters love. But almost nothing illustrates how much

Labour is torn as nuclear weapons. Jeremy Corbyn has support from

members but cannot persuade all of his MPs, and rather than focusing on

Trident today, most Labour backbenchers are concentrating on

how to drive him out. Behind closed doors in the Commons, Angela Eagle

and Owen Smith were trying to persuade MPs they are the one who

can win. I don't want to see a woman crowded out on some kind of false

analogy that we should only have one competitor. We need a straight fight

between Jeremy Corbyn and the unity candidate, the candidate that gets

the wide support of the PLP and can get wide support in the membership.

Having anything other than that would not just be a distraction, it

would be a disaster for us. Despite protests, protests outside

Parliament, the Government will all but inevitably win the Trident vote.

On nuclear weapons, controversy is never far, whoever is in charge.

at how the system works, and at its estimated costs.

A deterrent to any threat of nuclear war.

But critics view it as an expensive relic of the Cold War era.

The four submarines that carry the Trident nuclear missiles

Successive governments have argued they need to be replaced with four

new submarines to ensure that one is constantly out on patrol.

Each one carries eight Trident missiles, with a range

There are up to 40 warheads on a submarine, each eight times

more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.

But does Britain really still need it?

It would be almost a dereliction of duty of any Government to get rid

of our nuclear weapons in what is such a dangerous

I believe we will make our position in the world as well

known by our very strong conventional contribution,

which has been deployed countless times since the end of World War II.

The vote will allow work on building four new submarines

to begin in earnest, but it will not be cheap.

The MoD estimates the cost will be ?31 billion.

It has also set aside another ?10 billion in case that bill rises.

The annual running costs of keeping the Trident system are about 6%

of the total defence budget, just over ?2 billion a year.

Opponents say there are cheaper alternatives but as yet there is no

For a deterrent to be credible, it has to be continuously available,

and a submarine-based system where one submarine is constantly

deployed at sea is very difficult for an adversary to find.

If you do it with land-based missiles or aircraft,

those systems can be attacked pre-emptively.

Theresa May has made her first visit to Wales as Prime Minister.

She met with the Welsh First Minister, Carwyn Jones,

and afterwards spoke about the importance of the Union.

Our correspondent Sian Lloyd is in Cardiff.

Well, the Prime Minister's car swept into Cardiff Bay this morning for a

whistle-stop visit to Wales. She was greeted on the steps of the

parliament building by the First Minister Carwyn Jones, and they

chatted for an hour. Theresa May wanted to reassure the Welsh

Government that they would be involved and engaged in Brexit

negotiations. From Carwyn Jones, the First Minister, there were questions

and concerns about how the billions of pounds of EU structural aid that

has been coming to Wales would be replaced. Theresa May said that she

recognised those concerns but there were no guarantees, and the future

of the Welsh steel-making industry was also on the agenda. This

meeting, coming so soon in Mrs May's premiership, is being seen as

symbolic here, but as Carwyn Jones said, when it comes to Brexit,

nobody really has the answers. King Henry VIII's flagship,

the Mary Rose, will finally be unveiled to the public tomorrow,

returned to her original glory. She was raised from the Solent

in 1982, but since then the ancient Tudor vessel has been covered

in one way or another. Tomorrow sees the culmination

of over three decades Duncan Kennedy is at Portsmouth

Dockyard. Rita, this really is the first clear

view of the Mary Rose that there has ever been. Ever since she was

salvaged 34 years ago, she has been hidden by something - scaffolding,

pipework, water spray - but now, from these observation decks, you

can get a close-up view of the details. This hull was made with 40

acres of new Forest Oak. You can now see the rivets, clear from all that

other modern world. As one historian put it, this is the view of the Mary

Rose that Henry VIII would have had the dais she sank. -- the day she

sank. It takes just a few seconds to fully

reveal five centuries of history. Now, the pipes, the spray

and the barriers have gone. This is the Mary Rose like you've

ship, and also the sense of preservation work that has gone on.

All of this white material is the chemical they have used to reinforce

the wood from within. It is incredible science. Look at the

details of the ship itself. This is the stern, look at the woodwork

Shipman's work. It is a ship that measures something like 40 metres in

length and 20 metres high, all hidden for the last 30 or so years

by these modern things. That has gone, and from tomorrow's official

opening, you really will get a clear view of this Tudor masterpiece.
