No Russian athlete can compete in the Rio Olympic Games in 2016

:00:25.:00:27.

unless he or she meets some very strict criteria.

:00:28.:00:33.

But critics say the ruling for Rio by the International Olympic

:00:34.:00:36.

The Russian Federation has mocked the Olympic movement,

:00:37.:00:42.

and I worry about the future of clean sport.

:00:43.:00:49.

So where does all this leave Olympic movement,

:00:50.:00:51.

and the credibility of the Rio Games?

:00:52.:00:56.

Also on tonight's programme: How the teenager behind the Munich

:00:57.:00:58.

killings had been planning the attack for a year.

:00:59.:01:02.

At the G20 summit, the new chancellor hints at free

:01:03.:01:05.

And a third Tour de France victory for Chris Froome as he rides his way

:01:06.:01:33.

There will be no blanket ban on Russian athletes

:01:34.:01:37.

at the Rio Olympics next month, following allegations

:01:38.:01:40.

The International Olympic Committee says instead it will be up

:01:41.:01:45.

to the individual sports governing bodies to decide whether

:01:46.:01:49.

the Sports Minister said he was grateful for the decision,

:01:50.:01:58.

but the US Anti-Doping Agency says the IOC has "refused to take

:01:59.:02:01.

decisive leadership" and "left a confusing mess."

:02:02.:02:02.

Our sports editor, Dan Roan, reports.

:02:03.:02:07.

It is a site many thought they would not witness in Rio, but now we know,

:02:08.:02:13.

despite state-sponsored doping, a Russian team will walk out when the

:02:14.:02:19.

games begin in 12 days. The IOC today resisted calls for a total

:02:20.:02:25.

ban. No Russian athlete can compete in the Rio games in 2016 unless he

:02:26.:02:30.

or she meets some very strict criteria. Every human being is

:02:31.:02:37.

entitled to individual justice. We have set the bar to the absolute

:02:38.:02:43.

limit for how Russian athletes can achieve competing in Rio. No Russian

:02:44.:02:52.

who has ever been found guilty of doping will be allowed to compete.

:02:53.:02:58.

Beyond that, the IOC has passed on responsibility to 27 international

:02:59.:03:02.

sport Federation. They must analyse anti-doping records and carry out

:03:03.:03:06.

additional testing, but one British member of the IOC told us he could

:03:07.:03:12.

not back that decision. My reaction is one of disappointment and

:03:13.:03:15.

embarrassment, in some ways, to be honest. I would hope that the

:03:16.:03:22.

leadership at the IOC, the organisation I am a member of, would

:03:23.:03:28.

have taken a real principled, strong stance that really helped the

:03:29.:03:31.

long-term cleanliness of sport to really read us of the scourge of

:03:32.:03:38.

doping. The IOC has also been criticised for deciding that a

:03:39.:03:41.

runner turned whistle-blower who sparked an investigation in Russia

:03:42.:03:45.

cannot compete in Rio, even as a neutral. The country's track and

:03:46.:03:54.

field at rates -- athletes will be missing. A ban for that sport

:03:55.:03:59.

remains in place. The reprieve for the rest of the sport has come as a

:04:00.:04:05.

huge relief in Moscow. The correct decision was taken by respecting the

:04:06.:04:09.

rights of individual sports people who cannot be blamed collectively.

:04:10.:04:12.

We take the investigation seriously and we are ready to work closely

:04:13.:04:18.

with the IOC. At the end of a week when hundreds of Russian doping

:04:19.:04:26.

incidents were exposed, people feel let down by the IOC. The evidence is

:04:27.:04:32.

massive. It is a state run programme, and I just cannot

:04:33.:04:36.

understand, after what we know went on two years ago, that the IOC can

:04:37.:04:41.

take anything that Russia says as the truth. Today, members of the

:04:42.:04:46.

Russian gymnastics team prepare to begin their journey to Rio. How

:04:47.:04:51.

welcome they will be, however, is in doubt.

:04:52.:04:54.

Let's get a little more analysis on all of this.

:04:55.:04:56.

We'll return to Dan Roan in a moment, but first,

:04:57.:04:59.

let's speak to our South America correspondent, Wyre Davies,

:05:00.:05:01.

The IOC says Russians competing at the games will be subject to

:05:02.:05:12.

rigorous doping checks - is everyone confident that will happen?

:05:13.:05:20.

Rio's anti-doping lab has a chequered history. It was closed

:05:21.:05:26.

because of opposites -- obsolete equipment. They invested millions in

:05:27.:05:30.

a new lap, but that lost its licence in June over a failure to comply

:05:31.:05:34.

with international scientific standards. This is a difficult

:05:35.:05:42.

period. The chief scientist has told us the lab has all the latest

:05:43.:05:46.

scientific equipment, and they will catch every single drugs cheat will

:05:47.:05:49.

stop with so much at stake, including the movement's reputation,

:05:50.:05:54.

testing 450 samples every day to a very high standards will be a big

:05:55.:05:55.

ask. Dan Roan is at the BBC

:05:56.:05:58.

Sports Centre in Salford. rather than giving clarity, some

:05:59.:06:13.

people say this is confusing the situation.

:06:14.:06:18.

The anti-doping agency said tonight has described this situation the IOC

:06:19.:06:22.

has left the sporting world with as a confusing mess. It is hardly

:06:23.:06:26.

surprisingly we are 12 days away, remarkable as it may seem, and we do

:06:27.:06:31.

not yet know how many Russians and which ones will be allowed to

:06:32.:06:35.

compete. That is because of the criteria the IOC have set down to

:06:36.:06:39.

determine which Russians will qualify to compete. It can be

:06:40.:06:43.

determined in different ways, depending on which international

:06:44.:06:46.

sporting federation you are talking about. For example, the tennis

:06:47.:06:50.

Federation said it would be happy for all seven Russian tennis players

:06:51.:06:54.

to compete. Other federations may feel differently. Critics will ask

:06:55.:06:59.

how it can be that a rigorous testing programme can be completed

:07:00.:07:03.

in a few days. The decision by the IOC has been widely condemned

:07:04.:07:06.

tonight and it has opened up divisions in the other big family.

:07:07.:07:11.

The world anti-doping agency, for example, wanted a total ban.

:07:12.:07:16.

Athletes' representatives are at loggerheads with those who run their

:07:17.:07:23.

sport. Many will argue that when the entire anti-doping programme seems

:07:24.:07:28.

to be subverted, when will a ban actually happen? Double boycotts in

:07:29.:07:37.

the 80s, there were bidding controversies, but there have never

:07:38.:07:41.

been a few days like the last few. -- the world boycotts.

:07:42.:07:49.

Investigators in Germany say David Ali Sonboly,

:07:50.:07:55.

the teenager who killed nine people in Munich on Friday night,

:07:56.:07:58.

had been planning the attack for more than a year.

:07:59.:08:01.

They also say he may have bought the pistol and ammunition he used

:08:02.:08:05.

in the attack over the internet on the so-called 'dark web,'

:08:06.:08:08.

a specially encrypted part of the internet.

:08:09.:08:10.

With the latest, here's Chris Buckler.

:08:11.:08:11.

The fear and even shock is starting to fade

:08:12.:08:13.

in Munich, but the grief is

:08:14.:08:16.

still obvious in this street, where people

:08:17.:08:18.

were indiscriminately shot dead.

:08:19.:08:23.

For some, there is also an understandable sense of relief.

:08:24.:08:27.

TRANSLATION: I heard the shooting and the sirens,

:08:28.:08:31.

In the beginning, I didn't know what was going on with her.

:08:32.:08:37.

She wanted to take the subway to get there, and I had no idea

:08:38.:08:40.

Her sister did escape from this street uninjured.

:08:41.:08:48.

But nine people were killed here, and others are

:08:49.:08:51.

still critically ill in hospital, many of them young people.

:08:52.:08:57.

It seems that teenagers were targeted by a

:08:58.:09:00.

gunman who was only a teenager himself.

:09:01.:09:06.

David Ali Sonboly had a history of mental health problems.

:09:07.:09:10.

Detectives are believed to have found information about mass

:09:11.:09:14.

shootings when they searched the flat where he lived with his

:09:15.:09:16.

Neighbours say he was quiet, a loner, but they never

:09:17.:09:20.

TRANSLATION: I never saw him with friends.

:09:21.:09:26.

His little brother was more friendly.

:09:27.:09:31.

Much of the investigation will focus on how an

:09:32.:09:42.

18-year-old living here managed to get access to a gun.

:09:43.:09:54.

There has been speculation that he may have bought

:09:55.:09:56.

TRANSLATION: There is a chat log on the dark net which indicates

:09:57.:10:00.

he got the weapon from the dark net, but we

:10:01.:10:03.

are only at the beginning of our investigation.

:10:04.:10:05.

Sonboly is thought to have planned the attack for 12 months.

:10:06.:10:11.

But tonight, Munich's archbishop said people also needed

:10:12.:10:13.

He said he also belongs in our thoughts.

:10:14.:10:20.

In the aftermath of this attack, there are

:10:21.:10:22.

calls for Germany's already strict gun laws to be changed.

:10:23.:10:25.

They were tightened after two school shootings.

:10:26.:10:29.

David Sonboly visited the site of one of them last year, a

:10:30.:10:34.

sign of a dark interest that has left the city morning.

:10:35.:10:39.

sign of a dark interest that has left the city mourning.

:10:40.:10:44.

Tonight, German police have arrested a 16-year-old who knew David Ali

:10:45.:10:51.

Sonboly. It is understood he contacted detectives on Friday after

:10:52.:10:56.

the shooting himself, but he has been held over inconsistencies in

:10:57.:11:05.

his statements. David Ali Sonboly killed himself, but only after

:11:06.:11:07.

killing so many others. Let's take a look at some

:11:08.:11:10.

of the day's other top stories. Motorists have been warned

examines how the Brexit vote is re-shaping the debate over

:19:13.:19:15.

Scottish independence. Even in turbulent political times,

:19:16.:19:20.

some traditions remain, like the Innerleithen annual

:19:21.:19:25.

fancy dress parade. By tradition, this part

:19:26.:19:27.

of southern Scotland has always

:19:28.:19:29.

opposed independence, recording the highest No vote

:19:30.:19:33.

on the mainland in 2014. The SNP will not call

:19:34.:19:36.

another referendum until they believe they can change

the minds of some of the voters voted no to independence

:19:44.:19:46.

last time, want to stay And we'll do anything

:19:47.:19:54.

we can to stay in. It has certainly made me less sure

:19:55.:19:57.

of how I voted Yes, it couldn't be

:19:58.:20:00.

avoided, I don't think. All over Scotland people

:20:01.:20:04.

are reconsidering how they will vote if there

:20:05.:20:05.

is another independence referendum. He voted no two years ago, largely

:20:06.:20:08.

because he wanted to stay in the EU. A key argument at the time was that

:20:09.:20:23.

Scotland would not gain automatic entry into the EU should it

:20:24.:20:26.

gain its independence. That fear of Scotland being isolated

:20:27.:20:28.

was one of the key factors why I voted No

:20:29.:20:30.

during the Scottish independence That view has completely changed

:20:31.:20:33.

now, with Britain set to Opinion polls do suggest

:20:34.:20:37.

increased support for independence, but the SNP will want

:20:38.:20:42.

to see stronger and sustained enthusiasm before

:20:43.:20:44.

calling another vote. independence, it won't

:20:45.:20:47.

be because millions of Scots were desperate

:20:48.:20:51.

to remain citizens of the EU, but it

:20:52.:20:53.

might be because the EU vote has dramatically highlighted the fact

:20:54.:20:56.

that voters in Scotland want very different things from

:20:57.:21:00.

the rest of the UK. It is the psychological estrangement

:21:01.:21:04.

between Scotland and England that feeds the SNP narrative

:21:05.:21:08.

of irreconcilable differences between the two major

:21:09.:21:10.

parts of the Union. And things like the Brexit vote,

:21:11.:21:16.

where Scotland have one opinion and England another,

:21:17.:21:19.

help underscore this makes sense for Scotland

:21:20.:21:25.

England to be part of the same nation state.

:21:26.:21:28.

Brexit may have changed the mood, but it also makes

:21:29.:21:30.

the case for independence more complex.

:21:31.:21:35.

Questions of currency, borders and trade tariffs look very

:21:36.:21:37.

And then there are the thousands of nationalists who

:21:38.:21:46.

voted to leave the EU who say they will not

:21:47.:21:49.

support independence inside

:21:50.:21:50.

I honestly think the SNP have lost any notion of what

:21:51.:21:53.

If they feel that a supranational institution that can

:21:54.:22:02.

determine your laws, control your borders, your fishing and

:22:03.:22:06.

agriculture, and a whole range of other things, if that makes a
