And, after three decades of restoration, Henry VIII's

Coming up in the sport on BBC News, the sprinter edges stage 16 of the

title. The House of Commons

is voting tonight on whether to renew Britain's

nuclear weapons system. The Prime Minister, warned

MPs that not replacing the submarines, which carry

the Trident missiles, But the debate exposed deep

divisions on the Labour benches. Jeremy Corbyn will

vote against renewal, which means he'll be

voting against his own His stance was challenged by

a number of his Labour colleagues. But first our political editor,

Laura Kuenssberg, reports Take the submarine to

action stations missile Even in rehearsal, it's the most

tense moment. Pressing the nuclear button on board

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

so is a huge source of tension. Theresa May making what will become

a familiar journey from Number 10 Chose a vote on Trident as her first

Commons test as Prime Minister. And a moment of huge

awkwardness or Labour. The Tories broadly united,

laboured deeply split. Mr Speaker, we have

waited long enough. It is time to get on with building

the next generation It is time to take this essential

decision to deter the most extreme threats to our society

and preserve our way of life Our nuclear weapons are driving

proliferation, not the opposite. Sadly she, and some members

of the Labour Party, seemed to be the first to defend

the country's enemies and the last Is she personally prepared

to authorise a nuclear strike that could kill

100,000 innocent men, And I have to say to the honourable

gentleman, the whole point of a deterrent is that our enemies

need to know we would be The real awkwardness

was for the Labour leader, whose objections are not shared

by all of his MPs. We, on these benches,

despite our differences on some issues, have always argued

for the aim of a nuclear free world. We might differ on how

it's 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. Mr Corbyn does not have

the authority to do anything else. For the official opposition

to have a free vote national importance is a terrible

indictment of how far this once But what Labour's current front

bench is doing is not principled. It shows contempt for the public,

for party members, and often Mr Corbyn's defiance of his own

party's policy is decades long and it is one of the things

supporters love about him. Not much illustrates

Labour's dilemma as much Jeremy Corbyn has lots of backing

from his supporters and among In truth, rather than debating

Trident today, most of his backbenchers have been concentrating

on the best way of pushing Behind closed doors in the Commons

today, Angela Eagle and Owen Smith were trying to persuade MPs

they are the one who can win. I think the most terrible thing

for Labour would be, as the Tories are now

on their second woman leader, that we can't even field a woman

in a leadership candidate. I think Angela was superb

in there and I think she will get the nominations but I don't

want to see a woman crowded out of this on some kind of false

analogy we should only We need a straight fight

between Jeremy Corbyn The candidate that gets the wide

support of the Parliamentary Labour Party and wide support

in the membership. Having anything other than that

would not just be a distraction, Despite protests inside Labour,

protests of all sorts The Government will all

but inevitably win its vote But on nuclear weapons,

controversy is never far, The debate around Trident,

its true cost and the options for renewing the system,

has been going on for years and is one of the most

divisive political issues Our defence correspondent,

Jonathan Beale, takes a closer look at how the system works

and at its estimated costs. For nearly half a century,

every day of every year, Britain's had a nuclear-armed

submarine on patrol, hidden somewhere under the sea

and yet it remains a highly Successive governments

say it's the nation's ultimate security guarantee,

a deterrent to any Critics view it as an expensive

relic of the Cold War era. The four Vanguard-class submarines

that carry Britain's Trident nuclear-armed missiles are coming

to the end of their life. Successive Governments have argued

they need to be replaced with four new submarines,

to ensure that one submarine Each submarine 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 these weapons? 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 that we will make our

position in the world, as well known, by our very strong

conventional contribution, which after all has been

deployed countless time Today's vote will allow work

on building four new submarines to begin in earnest,

but it won't be cheap. The MoD estimates the cost

will be ?31 billion. But it's also set aside another

?10 billion in case that bill rises. While the annual running costs

of keeping the Trident system is about 6% of the total defence

budget, just over ?2 billion a year. Opponents say there are cheaper

alternatives, but as yet, there's no consensus

as to what that should be. For a deterrent to be credible,

it has to be continuously available. The 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 are -

and this has been proven historically - are vulnerable,

they can be attacked pre-emptively. Thousands of jobs will be secured

here at Barrow-in-Furness, But this decision is also

about securing Britain's place in the world as a nuclear power

and key Nato ally. We are still waiting for the result

of the vote in the House of Commons. We will get the latest from our

political editor in a few moments. But first let's speak

to our Scotland editor, Sarah Smith, What do you characterises the

debate? Trident is a live issue here in Scotland. It provokes passionate

opposition from some but does provide thousands of jobs. Polls

show that Scottish voters are evenly split on whether they want to see

Trident renewed. The politics of it though are much more sharply

defined. Out of a total of 59 Scottish MPs, only one of them, the

sole Tory MP in Scotland, is intending to vote for renewal. The

SNP says that shows there is a democratic deficit. They will claim

that once again whether Mr is imposing something on Scotland its

MPs have overwhelmingly worked against. Coming off the back of the

EU referendum, where Scotland clearly voted to stay in, that

allows the SNP to say Scotland and the rest of the UK are moving in

different directions politically, at a time when they say they are also

considering a second referendum on Scottish independence.

Let's go back to Westminster and Laura is with us. What was your

sense of how this debate went today and what kind of light did it shed?

MPs are voting right now. It would be astonishing to come back with a

result that the news Trident. On the subject that is so serious and so

grave, there was a lot of passion in the debate on display in the green

benches from every single party. Two things stood out. First of all how

Theresa May did not flinch or hesitate. There were no doubts on

display when she was asked the most serious questionable, would you

press the nuclear button if the situation dictated that was an

option? Without any hesitation, she said yes they would. There were

howls on some of the green benches when she did so. The second thing

was the agony on display amongst Labour MPs. In a way the whole

debate around Trident has crystallised the doubts, the

divisions, the internal wrangling is among the Labour Party, not just

about Jeremy Corbyn but the union movement and many members. Labour is

in the process of a leadership contest. They are pretty much

completely distracted by that. There are all sorts of wranglings among

Labour MPs on that tonight. Possibly tomorrow, possibly not the end of

Wednesday. Either Owen Smith or Angela Eagle, who both want to take

on Jeremy Corbyn, will drop out of the race. Whoever gets less support

from MPs will withdraw from that point. Watching today, Theresa May,

despite difficulties in the Tory Party, is in a position where it

looks like the opposition is a long way away from being in a shape to

take her on. Labour is headed for what might feel like a very long,

hot summer for their contest if I let who will challenge Jeremy

Corbyn. The question, who will end up the victor? Laura with the latest

on that debate at Westminster. The Turkish government has detained

thousands of people, suspected of involvement

An independent investigation has found that the Russian government

organised and directed a sophisticated doping programme

The report - commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency -

says Russia's sports ministry oversaw the manipulation of hundreds

of urine samples, and it says all Russian athletes should now be

banned from the Rio Olympics, which start in early August.

Moscow has questioned the findings of the report,

as our sports editor Dan Roan reports.

It was the most expensive Olympics in history and portrayed

as a triumph for Russia and its president, the hosts

topping the medal table at their own winter Games.

But now we know, Sochi 2014 was sabotaged.

A damning report today confirming allegations of a doping regime

stretching right back from 2011 and which,

with the help of the country's Secret Service,

The Russian minister of sport directed, controlled and oversaw

the manipulation of athletes' analytical results or sample

swapping with the active participation and assistance

The report vindicates the shocking allegations of the man

at the centre of this scandal, whistle-blower, Grigory Rodchenkov.

Seen here in a Russian documentary and now in hiding

in the United States, the former head of Moscow's

Anti-Doping Laboratory claimed in May that he'd enabled dozens

In the kind of plot you'd expect in a crime novel,

the Sochi lab was the centre of a barely believable

scheme that made positive samples simply disappear.

A Secret Service agent was even accredited as a plumber to help

Rodchenkov break into supposedly tamper-proof drugs test bottles,

meddle with their contents and switch them for clean samples

Today's report is a devastating blow to the integrity of the Olympics

and makes clear that Russian cheating didn't stop at Sochi,

that it extended to the period leading up to the London

It affected World Championships in both athletics and swimming,

Paralympic sport, in fact, virtually every sport was tainted.

This evening, the World Anti-Doping Agency said it would recommend

to the International Doping Committee that the entire Russian

team was now banned from the Rio Games.

Our position's been clear for months.

In the event that the report showed the state involvement

with corrupting the Olympic Games and running a doping programme,

that they have no business being around the Olympics.

Today the IOC described the revelations as a shocking

and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sports

It says it would not hesitate to take the toughest sanctions

available against any individual or organisation implicated.

In May, Russia's sports minister, Vitaly Mutko, told me his country

Today he was directly implicated in the scandal.

President Vladimir Putin has ordered the suspension of a number

of officials but said that today's report was based on the testimony

of just one man, warning that the Olympic movement could now

But with the Games less than three weeks away,

and the country's track and field athletes already banned for doping,

Russia's participation in Rio now hangs by a thread.

There are reports coming in from Germany tonight that more than ten

people have been injured, several critically, after a man with an axe

attacked people on a train. A large police operation is said to be under

way in southern Germany. One local report says the attacker has been

shot dead by police. There are no further details, but if there are

significant developments there, I'll bring them to you.

In France, the prime minister, Manuel Valls, has been

heckled and jeered, as he attended a commemoration

in Nice for the victims of last week's attack,

when a lorry was driven through a crowd,

Mr Valls was there to observe a minute's silence,

During the day, French prosecutors revealed more details about the man

behind the attack, and his possible motivation,

as our correspondent, Lucy Williamson, reports.

He came to show respect, not to get it.

France's prime minister stood on Nice's promenade

to mark a minute's silence, a leader excluded from

The promenade, for once, fell silent, remembering the 84

This crowd knew their heroes, the emergency services,

When his turn came, Mr Valls bore the jeers.

There were tears in private too, in homes and hospitals and mosques.

Medhi and Bilal lost their sister on Friday night.

With 13 victims still unidentified, investigators say their killer's

computer revealed a fascination with violence and radical Islam,

TRANSLATION: The investigation does not show that the attacker had

pledged allegiance to Isis or that he was in touch with members

of the organisation, but the analysis of his computer

shows a clear interest in the jihadist movement.

France is waiting for an explanation of why

built not of flowers or candles, but rubbish, the least offensive

has been inscribed here for more than a century.

Now in the shadow of presidential elections, people are asking -

And when they gathered on the promenade today,

What once looked like solidarity here, is starting to feel very thin.

Tonight, at the end of three days of national mourning, France's most

famous symbol has been lit up in the colours of the French flag. But

these days of mourning have seen great anger directed towards the

government, a third of French people say they don't trust President

Hollande and his team to keep the country safe, to prevent more

attacks and opposition leaders have been sharply critical, saying the

government should have done more. Thanks very much. The latest on that

story today. One of the UK's most important tech

companies, ARM Holdings, has agreed to a takeover

by a Japanese firm. Softbank is to pay ?24

billion for the company, which is based in Cambridge,

and designs microchips used in smart phones -

including those made The company employs

more than 4,000 people. Softbank has said it will create

at least 1,500 new jobs in the UK over the next five years

and will keep the company's The Prime Minister has welcomed

the deal, but as our business editor Simon Jack reports,

there are others who insist it's His report contains

some flash photography. It might be the most important UK

company you've never heard of. Last year, 15 billion

microchips designed by ARM found their way into mobiles,

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

jewel of the UK technology industry. This deal is hugely

significant for three reasons. The first is the sheer size of it,

it's the biggest investment The second is the stature of ARM

Holdings, behind this campus-like leafy exterior

is a global powerhouse. Talks on this merger didn't start

until two weeks ago, So, is this a ringing

endorsement of a post-Brexit Britain open for business,

or has the fall in the pound made A Japanese entrepeneur

who is betting on a future where there are chips in just

about everything we use. I am very excited to

make this announcement. This is a company that I have

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

this deal has been done, and whether Brexit and

the devaluation of sterling had I would have made this decision

at this timing regardless That confidence is music

to a Chancellor's ears. The fact that a Japanese

company, just three weeks after the referendum decision

is prepared to make this kind of commitment to the UK,

and commit to grow that business here in the UK,

is a resounding endorsement of the resilience of the British

economy and the attractiveness of Britain as a place

for international Others question the wisdom

of letting our best companies fall It goes completely contrary

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

and takeover regime to be. It may be a perfectly

good Japanese company, but this is our last big,

British high-tech company going under foreign ownership

without a proper test. SoftBank has promised to double

the number of UK-based employees and keep the headquarters

in Cambridge. founder, there was little

cause for celebration. ARM is the proudest achievement

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

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

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

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

and while it's not going anywhere it'll no longer be in control

of its own destiny. Let's return briefly to that vote in

Parliament tonight on renewing Britain's nuclear weapons system,

because a few minutes ago, MPs voted and the vote was announced and this

is what happened: The ayes to the right 472. The noes to the left,

117. The ayes have it, the ayes have it.

So that means that MPs supported the renewal of Trident by 472 to 117, a

majority of 355. That means the vote paved the way for the next

generation of nuclear submarines to be built replacing the current

fleet. A man identified as the killer

of three police officers, n the US state of Louisiana,had

posted videos online cricitising police treatment

of African-Americans Gavin Long - a former US marine

and veteran of the Iraq war - was killed by police during

the attack on Sunday morning. Our North America correspondent

Nick Bryant reports from the Louisiana state capital

of Baton Rouge. Chilling new photographs of the lone

gunman the police say deliberately targeted and assassinated their

officers. GUNFIRE Shots fired, officers down. This is the volley of

gunfire as police were lured into ambush, after responding to a call

that a man was brandishing a rifle. Shots fired, officers down. This

surveillance video shows how an officer tried to take cover and this

was the weapon he was up against. The lone gunman has been identified

as Gavin Eugene Long, a 29-year-old former marine, who served a

six-month Tour of Duty in Iraq. He also had an online allious, Cosmo

and posted on the internet, complaining about the treatment of

African Americans at the hands of police. I'm in Dallas right now. In

this one, he claimed to be in Dallas, days after the killing of

five officers in the city and called for black men to fight back. These

were his three victims, Matthew Gerald, Brad Garifla and Montrone

Jackson. He posted an emotional message on Facebook just days

before, describing how hard it was to be a black police officer in

Baton Rouge. "I swear to God, I love this city, but I wonder if this city

loves me. I get nasty, hateful looks and out of uniform sm, consider me a

threat." Race relations in America haven't been this tense for 20

years, since the Los Angeles riots of the early 1990s. Many people are

asking - when will this Spiral of violence end? At the sight of the

killings a police chaplain said prayers for the dead and for this

troubled nation. Louisiana has a long and ugly history of racial

division. Here we saw gestures of reconciliation We are all family. It

doesn't matter if you're black, white, red, pink or gold. If you

live in Louisiana, are you family. In this violent summer, the flowers

and flags of mourning have become an all too familiar sight. What's often

been absent are shows of mutual understanding.

Amid the violence of recent weeks in America,

President Obama has been severely criticised by Donald Trump,

the Republican contender for the US presidency.

Mr Trump is due to arrive at the Republican Convention in Ohio

to be formally adopted as the party's nominee.

Our North America editor Jon Sopel is there.

After all of these violent incidents, how are they affecting

this presidential debate? Well, it is very polarised debate. The title

of today's subject is "make America safe again". Donald Trump is

desperate that the Republicans should be seen as the party of law

and order. As you say, strong criticism from Mr Trump talking

about how Barack Obama hasn't got a clue what he's doing, that America

has become a giant crime scene, the country has never been more divided.

He's also asked - how many more people have to die due to lack of

leadership? Barack Obama's call for people to dial down the rhetoric is

falling on deaf ears here. You've had Hillary Clinton entering the

debate on Baton Rouge as well. Of course she unequivocally condemned

the killing of the police, but she also said, "We cannot rest until we

root out implicit bias and stop the killing of African Americans by the

police." I don't think you'd hear Donald Trump using those sort of

words. But this is the unconventional convention and who

knows what is going to unfold over the next few days. The headline

speakers are all members of the Trump family, not the Republican

establishment. Jon, thanks very much.
