This is BBC World News Today with me, Karin Giannone. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Countdown to the Rio Olympics - but how safe are the waters | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
for the rowers, sailors and open swimmers? | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
A new report highlights concern about raw human sewage. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
And visitors are warned about pollution on Rio's | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
I'm Babita Sharma live in Rio - stay with us on World News Today | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
We will be finding out, is this city ready to play host? | :00:29. | :00:40. | |
The United States has carried out air strikes in Libya targeting | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
the Islamic State group in the city of Sirte. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
A Russian military helicopter is shot down in Syria, | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Moscow says it was on a humanitarian mission. | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
And ten more cases of Zika are identified in Florida. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
So, we're almost there - the Olympic Games open at the end | :01:00. | :01:17. | |
A political crisis in Brazil, the Russian doping scandal, | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
The Russians expect the final decision tomorrow, | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
Meanwhile, a report commissioned by the Associated Press | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
suggests Rio's waterways are as filthy as ever. | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
Babita Sharma is live for us in Rio. | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
Does this feel like more than the usual last-minute jitters? It | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
depends who you are talking to. We were down at the beach last night, | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
fielding error where thousands on the beach where super excited about | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
the Olympics. -- filming of Eire, where thousands. It's the first time | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
they have come to South America, let's celebrate it, we have no | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
concerns. And then here, in a lot of critics are saying they have major | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
concerns. The venues, the waterways are not fit for purpose. There is a | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
report out in a few hours ago telling us that after a 16 month | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
long investigation, they believe that Guanabara Bay and another | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
error, two main areas hosting sailing and canoeing, that they have | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
dangerously high contamination. Where the health of athletes can be | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
at risk. That's not the news that officials want to be hearing just a | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
few days before the Olympics begin. The opening ceremony takes place on | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Friday. What they want us to do is concentrate on what we can see | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
behind us. This tells a completely different story as well. This is | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
going to be our home for the next weeks. It is the Olympic Park. | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
Pristine, brand-new, gleaming and ready for business. Just there in | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
the centre of your screen, you can see the tennis centre. Behind that, | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
the aquatic Centre. And then we have three buildings that will be held to | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
the judo, boxing, wrestling, handball offence. Then the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
gymnastics area in the official Olympics stadium. Finally, the | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
second of the Aquatics buildings here. That is the stadium home to | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
diving, supplies dimming and water polo. -- diving Matt synchronised | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
swimming. This picture tells a different story, that Rio is open | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
full business and they are going to do it. Two things happened today | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
that hadn't happened before in this city. Olympic lanes came into effect | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
for the first time. Roads are painted green and what they are | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
designed to do is ease the congestion, allowing all the | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
authorised vehicles and athletes to proceed as normal. So far, it is | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
only day one. What we can tell is that they seem to be working. The | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
second thing is that a Metro system is now underway, connecting the | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
south zone, the centre of Rio to the West zone of the Olympic Park. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Again, that seems to be working. Passengers numbers, we are expecting | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
500,000 visitors to be coming here in the coming week. Whether or not | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
the infrastructure will be able to cope remains to be seen. People are | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
saying, who is going to benefit from these Olympics? It has cost a lot of | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
money. There are reports that 65,000 local people from the poorer | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
communities that had to be evicted to create what you can see behind | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
me. We have been doing a bit of digging around, trying to find out | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
who the winners and losers are going to be. Here is the report. | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
Rio is a city transformed by the Olympic Games. | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
Billions have been spent on investment in new sports venues, | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
But critics say it's money that should have gone to other, | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
If cities want to prioritise the needs of their citizens, | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
basic education, safety, access to water, food, | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
things that make a good life, the Olympics is clearly not part | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
What the Olympics are about is winners and losers. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
Few have lost as much as local residents like Dona Maria da Penha. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
There's nothing left here now, she says, gazing through a fence | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
to a corporate car park where the homes of almost | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
She was bloodied in the battle to save the favela, next | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
to the Olympic Park, but deemed an intolerable eyesore | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
for this global mega-event and bulldozed to the ground. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Putting on this showpiece has almost bankrupted the local government. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
The impact can be seen and smelled everywhere. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Cleaning up its chronically polluted waters was another key promise Rio | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
made when it was chosen to host the Games. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
But it's a pledge that simply hasn't been kept. | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
Guanabara Bay is full of solid waste, sewage and | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
A commitment to treat 80% of the sewage entering this bay | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
has long since been abandoned, the very waters | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
But officials say there will be a legacy, and spending is tight. | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
The Games in Brazil and Rio represent a new model for the Games, | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
a model of games that are more lean, with reduced costs, under control. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
We have spent less public money to do 20 venues than London spent | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
These Games will be unique because Rio is a unique city, | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
rich and poor living cheek by jowl, but not all reaping the same benefit | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Days away from the official start of the Olympic games. Aside from all | :07:11. | :07:28. | |
the other issues, people want us to remember that the events, the | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
competition is taking place. We have thousands of athletes descended upon | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
this incredible city. They are already in training, we saw them | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
yesterday in Guanabara Bay. Lots of athletes sightseeing at Christ the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Redeemer, catching some time before they get their training underway. In | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
their sites will be winning a medal. Joining me here in Rio is the man | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
that is involved in managing the medal making process. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Let's speak now to Victor Hugo Berbert. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Alongside him, Beatrice from the press team. There is a method to my | :08:04. | :08:15. | |
madness here. I need a glove, not necessarily to shake my hands, but | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
you have done something wonderful. Bringing in some very special | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
medals. I can't touch them, right? I have to have this instead. Yes. | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
August through what we're going to look at. This is the Bronze one. -- | :08:28. | :08:41. | |
talk us through. It has a 0.5 kilograms weight. This is the | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
initial design with the goddess. On the back, the iconic emblem which we | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
have seen all around the city, Rio 2016. I'm not just holding any other | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
bronze medal, and I? If a particular one? It is 100 metres running. The | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
100 metres men's running, possibly the most celebrated race in the | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
world. I don't know if you can see that on the camera, but it is | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
actually etched in right there, men's 100 metres. Beatrice, I'm | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
pleased to say that you haven't just brought me the bronze. Let us take | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
on the other ones as well. We have silver here, which is just coming | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
out. As you take it out of the box, tell me a bit about how it came to | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
fruition, this design and the process of getting this right here. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
The committee chose the design, then present it to the Brazilian team. We | :09:39. | :09:49. | |
scoped that on clay. And then we started engraving it. I don't want | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
to cling to it too much. They are a little bit heavy. This is the one | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
that we love. Thank you for letting me hold it, I am so excited! This is | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
gold. 100 metres men's gold. I'm holding it! See you later! Can I go? | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
This is what it looks like. What happens if I walked off right now? | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
Don't walk off, don't walk off! So, these are the ones that means so | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
much to the winners. But they do have an economic value of sorts? | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
It's good to calculate this, because it is a lot of work on it, a lot of | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
material. But is a lot of art on it. It's a sculptor. -- it's difficult | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
to calculate. We have a lot of artists that draw, design, scoped | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
and transport into the metal matrix and only strike them. It's an object | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
of art. It really is. It feels like such an honour to hold it. So, we | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
thinking, Blake for Jamaica for the bronze? America for the silver? And | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
you same bolt looking for their third win. I think I look pretty | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
good in it! -- and Bolt looking. Beatrice turned up with these medals | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
in very official manner. Can you show videos? She walked here, up the | :11:32. | :11:40. | |
left, holding a plastic bag with no security. -- can you show the | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
viewers. If you see pitches walking along, stand near to her! I feel so | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
privileged. -- if you see pitches. The design is beautiful. I might | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
keep a hold of this one. What do you think? Doesn't look fetching on me? | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
Can you do the hundred metres just as fast as Bolt? Don't think I need | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
to. I have my hands on it now. Just move away quietly, we will lead you | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
to it! Thank you very much. Lots more from the rear of the next few | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
weeks. -- lots more from Brazil. A Russian helicopter has | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
been shot down in Syria, killing all five members | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
of the military who were on board. The Defence Ministry said the crew | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
were returning to their base after delivering humanitarian aid | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
to the city of Aleppo. It is not clear which group brought | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
the helicopter down. Our security correspondent | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
Frank Gardner reports. Shot down over Syria's Idlib | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
province, this rebel footage shows Moscow says all five of those | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
on board were killed - after it said they were | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
delivering aid to Aleppo. For those still trapped in that | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
northern Syrian city, Pro-government forces have been | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
pushing back a rebel advance The rebels are trying to break | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
the government siege But Syrian troops, backed by Russian | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
air strikes, appear determined For it's quarter of a million | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
inhabitants, the humanitarian Can you consider displacing people | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
from their homes is Of course, people could run away | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
from Aleppo before, besieging it, but they decided to stay | :13:34. | :13:43. | |
because this is their home, this is their land, | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
they want to stay here. The Syrian government says it's | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
opened corridors of free passage for civilians trying | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
to flee the fighting and for any rebels | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
prepared to surrender, but so far only a trickle of people | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
have taken up the offer. And a British surgeon who has been | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
working with local doctors accuses In 2012, the Assad regime | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
actually passed a law to say that it was legitimate | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
to target hospitals, to target doctors, | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
to target civilians. In fact, to target anybody that | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
wasn't involved positively So they made it legal | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
to actually bomb hospitals. Amongst the latest victims | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
of Syria's endless civil war, a 14-year-old child star of a local | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
sitcom set in the ruins of Aleppo. He was killed by a missile | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
as he tried to flee the city The Pentagon says the US has carried | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
out air strikes in Libya against the stronghold | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
of the so-called The airstrikes followed a request | :14:54. | :14:54. | |
by the Libyan government. That is the GNA, the internationally | :14:55. | :15:08. | |
recognised government. This specific targets | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
will be precision targets. These are targets that the GNA has | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
indicated, has already made | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
progress on the ground, significant progress | :15:18. | :15:18. | |
on the But the precision targets | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
that they have asked for our assistance with in which they have | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
had more trouble. These are targets for example I can | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
detail today, was one of the targets It is that kind of | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
precision location, precision target that we will be | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
targeting that the GNA at this point felt like that would be a helpful | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
support for their efforts. The BBC's Aleem Maqbool | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
told us more about what They certainly say that they will | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
continue to support the Libyan They are saying this is at | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
the request of the government of It's also been | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
confirmed by the Prime Minister there, who said there had | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
been significant casualties in Sirte Which they requested | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
to support the gains that the government forces have made | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
around the city in recent weeks. But yes, the Pentagon | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
is saying it is consistent with their | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
policies of the past. Of course, they were heavily | :16:27. | :16:27. | |
criticised in not doing enough sooner when it came to fighting | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. That's where they have been | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
conducting air strikes until now. These are the first in Libya | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
against Islamic State. And they do, Islamic State, | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
have considerable presence in Sirte, but we are talking about | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
around 1500 to 2000 militants there. But they have carried out | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
atrocities, executions and so on. And this is a time | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
when the Government of National Accord | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
are And that's why I think | :17:00. | :17:00. | |
the Pentagon chose to act now. Now a look at some of | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
the day's other news. A compound housing foreign | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
contractors in the Afghan capital, Kabul, has come under attack | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
from Taliban fighters. A truck bomb went off at the gate | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
of the North Gate compound and then In the following gun battle, | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
one police officer and both A leading air crash investigator | :17:17. | :17:25. | |
says he's confident that flight MH370 was deliberately flown | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
into the sea. Larry Vance told an Australian news | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
programme that the erosion on recovered wing parts points | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
to a controlled landing. The plane disappeared with 239 | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
people on board in March 2014. The mother-in-law of the Formula One | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
boss, Bernie Ecclestone has been freed in a police operation | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
following her abduction The kidnappers had demanded | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
a $36 million ransom Two suspects were arrested | :17:50. | :18:01. | |
and the victim was not injured. Turkey says it's captured 11 | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
soldiers suspected of trying to seize the country's President | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
during the failed They are said to have been caught | :18:09. | :18:09. | |
in a forested area near the resort of Marmaris | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
after a two-week manhunt. Recep Tayyip Erdogan was on holiday | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
in Marmaris on the night of the coup attempt but fled after a tip-off, | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
just before his hotel was raided. More than two weeks after the coup, | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
the last of the renegade soldiers These 11 men are accused | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
of being part of the squad that was sent to seize | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
or kill President Erdogan. Tipped off the last minute, | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
he narrowly evaded Over the weekend, he has announced | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
a sweeping overhaul of the Armed Forces, placing them under | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
full civilian control for the first These measures will make our | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
military much stronger, he promised. They will also, inevitably make | :18:49. | :18:59. | |
the Turkish President even more The government still wants to uproot | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
the influence of this man, preacher Fethullah Gulen who lives | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
in the US and was once He is blamed for | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
instigating the coup. Thousands of his followers have | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
been arrested or sacked. The full ramifications | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
of a botched coup that killed more than 200 people, | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
many of them listed at this memorial, and stunned a country that | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
believe such things were no longer possible, | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
are still being felt here. No one knows how far president | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
Erdogan will go to pursue The raw emotions that have been | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
stirred up are badly straining Turkey's relations with its western | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
partners, who President Erdogan believes should have | :19:51. | :20:05. | |
given him more wholehearted The pro-government rally by Turks | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
in Cologne over the weekend has now provoked | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
a spat with Germany. The German authorities would not | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
allow an address by Mr Erdogan to be broadcast | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
to the crowd. Turkey has stubborn | :20:16. | :20:16. | |
and summoned a senior German | :20:17. | :20:17. | |
diplomat here to complain. There will be friction with the US, | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
too, over requests to extradite | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
Fethullah Gulen. The captured soldiers were jeered | :20:22. | :20:22. | |
by government supporters as The mood in Turkey | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
is angry and fearful. Previous coups have left deep | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
scars on this country. It's been another tough day | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
for the Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
as leading party members distance themselves from his attacks | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
on the family of a Muslim army In an exclusive interview, | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
the captain's father told our North America Editor Jon | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
Sopel he won't ask for an apology This is one fight that people | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
are telling Donald Trump he can't win, but for the moment | :20:59. | :21:14. | |
he isn't listening, media that he had been | :21:15. | :21:15. | |
the subject of a vicious attack Their speech at the Democratic | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Convention about the death captain posthumously awarded | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
the Bronze Staff for heroism. I asked them if they had committed | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
an attack on Mr Trump. He can insult, he can disrespect | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
women, judges, even the members of his own party, yet | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
when an ordinary citizen of this country, a patriotic | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
American Muslim of this country, says anything about him, | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
he says he has been Ghazala Khan was derided by Mr Trump | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
for not having spoken Without saying a word, | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
I was sitting in their heart. So I was surprised that he | :22:01. | :22:14. | |
doesn't feel the pain. What type of person doesn't | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
feel the pain? You are attacking Mr Trump | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
over his behaviour, very openly. Isn't there a danger that you will | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
get attacked openly as well? In every person's life, | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
there comes a time when you choose to either say what is the call | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
of the time or shy away. I felt my family supported my stand, | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
they said, you should do that, and the burden, | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
we would equally bear. The normal law of politics is that | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
if you are in a hole, you stop digging, but that is not | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Donald Trump's style. Not only over the Khan family, | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
this weekend he has got in a right tangle over policy towards Ukraine, | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
and having previously said he had a close relationship | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
with Vladimir Putin, he has now clarified | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
he has never met him. It has not been a great few days | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
for the Republican candidate. Jon Sopel, BBC News, | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
Washington. Health authorities in Florida have | :23:15. | :23:32. | |
advised pregnant women not to go to an area where ten more people have | :23:33. | :23:42. | |

The tourism industry here in Florida is obviously | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
massive to this part of | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
the world, about 106 million visitors a year come here. | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
And of those, about 1.5 million are British. | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
At any one time, there are | :23:54. | :23:54. | |
A lot of them come to the southern part of Florida around | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
Of course, what we know is that Zika is particularly | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
dangerous for pregnant women and four women thinking of becoming | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
And that's why the Foreign Office has suggested that people | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
consider postponing any nonessential travel if they are pregnant. | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
That's not the advice incidentally that the | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
authorities, the medical authorities, the people that look | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
It's not the advice they are giving Americans. | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
