Tonight at ten, with just five days to go, there's more confusion over | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
which Russian athletes will be allowed at the Rio Olympics. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
Despite hundreds already travelling to Brazil, | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
it's still not clear who'll be allowed to compete after | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
A "barbaric evil" that must end - Theresa May pledges to fight | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
The mother of an American Muslim soldier killed in Iraq has | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
accused Donald Trump of mocking her after appearing | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
If you look at his wife, she was standing there. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
And it's four wins in a row for Lewis Hamilton, as he dominates | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
the German Grand Prix from start to finish. | :00:52. | :01:11. | |
With just days to go before the opening of the Rio Games, | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
the International Olympic Committee has denied it's causing confusion | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
over its handling of Russian athletes, following | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
The IOC defended its decision not to ban the whole team, | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
now saying a special panel would decide which of the hundreds | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
of Russian athletes already in Brazil would be able to compete. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
Our Sports Editor Dan Roan has the latest from Rio. | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
Russia's fencing squad may already be here in Rio today | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
collecting their accreditation at the athletes college, | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
but many do not know if they will be able to take part. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
These are among the 250 Russians cleared to participate in the wake | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
The International Olympic Committee has now said it | :01:55. | :02:07. | |
This afternoon, the President remained defiant. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
How much damage to the credibility of these games is the | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
I do not think in the end these will be damaging, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
because people will realise that we have to take | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Imagine the situation if we would not have taken | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
a decision, what then the limbo would be. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
I trust the people that they realise the difficulties we are in. | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
Despite a damning report into state-sponsored | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
doping that sabotaged events like the Sochi Winter Games, | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
the IOC resisted demands of a blanket ban | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
More than 100 athletes have been banned under | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
but there was a third Russian swimmer who appealed to the Court | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
of Arbitration for Sport against the exclusion | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
This is the Russian handball team and despite the fact | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
that we are just five days away from the start of the Rio games, | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
they are in limbo like so many of their colleagues. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
They do not know whether or not the IOC will allow them to compete. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
TRANSLATION: Of course it is not easy, the most traumatic thing | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
For those who are not doping, it is not fair. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
British athletes meanwhile are continuing their preparations | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
Some waiting to find out whether the competition | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
It is not unsettling for us, it is a shame it was not | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
sorted out earlier before the games got started. | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
We support the strongest sanctions for cheating, | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
but for us it is focusing on our own game. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
These games have already had a troubled build-up, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
but the IOC's handling of the crisis has ensured the controversy | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
will continue even once the action begins. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Well, it's not just the doping scandal that's overshadowing | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
the games, with the opening ceremony just five days away. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Some in Rio believe the organisers have failed to honour commitments | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Our South America Correspondent Wyre Davies reports. | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
Rio is a city transformed, and Olympic organisers say it is now | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Billions have been spent on investment in sports venues, | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
museums and public transport, but critics say it is money that has | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
been diverted from other more important priorities. | :04:39. | :04:56. | |
The Olympics are all about winning and losing, but few competitors | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
will have lost as much as this woman. | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
Is, she says, gazing through a fence Stow corporate car park loans of | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
almost 600 families used to be. She was bloodied in the battle | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
to save her home next An intolerable eyesore | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
for a global event. It was bulldozed to the ground. | :05:21. | :05:32. | |
Putting on this showpiece is almost bankrupted the local Government. The | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
impact can be seen and smelt everywhere. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Cleaning up the chronically polluted waters is another key | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
promise that Rio made when chosen to host the games, | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
but it is a pledge that has not been kept. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
The bay is full of solid waste, sewage and chemical pollution. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
A commitment to treat 80% of the sewage entering this bay has | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
The very waters where Olympic sailing events are taking place. | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
Officials say that in other areas there has been real progress. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
The games in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro, represents a new model for | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
the games. A model of games that are more lean with costs reduced, | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
reduced costs under control. We spent less public money to do 20 | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
venues than London has These games will be unique, | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
because Rio is a unique city. But not all are reaping the same | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
benefit from hosting the games. Let's go back Dan Roan | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
in Rio for us tonight. It seems that the fallout from the | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
doping scandal threatens to cast a shadow over the games. Even once | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
competition begins. That is right. Yes. It is such an | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
unprecedented pressure. Today represented an attempted fightback | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
by the IOC president in the face of fierce criticism over the legal | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
quagmire that the IOC now finds itself immersed in. He will be | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
desperately hoping that the next few days, the narrative and focus shifts | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
away from all of that controversy that you're just been hearing about | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
and moves towards sporting action itself. It comes -- and it becomes a | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
lot more positive, this story. It could be the most really stunning | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
and spectacular gains in history, and being staged here in Rio de | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Janeiro will help that objective. The problem is this, though. Really | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
before, while there have been, because of this doping scandal, so | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
much scepticism surrounding sporting achievement. Certainly Russian | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
sporting achievement. Previously, the games could rely on one thing, | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
that this has and injuring ability to inspire and entertain. This sends | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
you know is that this assumption has been tested like never before. | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
The Prime Minister is to lead a new task force aimed at tackling | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
thousands of suspected cases of modern-day slavery in the UK. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
In a newspaper article, Theresa May, said it was a "barbaric evil", | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
and more than ?30 million from the foreign aid budget would be | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Behind closed doors, on our streets and in the workplace, modern | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
But the new Prime Minister is promising to do more to help. | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
Theresa May led the Government's campaign to tackle slavery | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
when she was Home Secretary, and now as Prime Minister, | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, she said: | :08:50. | :09:06. | |
Police need to have a better understanding of what's going on in | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
relation to modern slavery and what their responsibilities are, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
but this is an issue that needs to be dealt with in much broader | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
terms of both national immigration policy, national crime policy, | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
and international development policy. | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
Now, ?33 million will be spent in countries like Nigeria | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
to help tackle the roots of the people-trafficking trade. | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
The Government thinks there could be up to 13,000 victims in the UK. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
It's ordered an investigation into the way police forces | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
in England and Wales respond to the crime. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
I don't doubt the sincerity of Theresa May's words, | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
but I do question whether they're being backed up by real actions. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
who as Home Secretary has cut the police, cut the Border Force | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
and part of the Government that is cutting councils. | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
of professionals to do something about this problem. | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
she should stop the cuts and give people the resources they need | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
It's often a hidden crime, and one the Government says | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
an international trade it says it is determined to stop. | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
The mother of an American Muslim soldier who was killed in Iraq has | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
accused the Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
of being ignorant of Islam, and not understanding | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
Ghazala Khan's comments came after Mr Trump mocked her appearance | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
at this week's Democratic Party Convention. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
From Washington, here's David Willis. | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
From a grieving family came a speech which stole the show. This couple's | :10:56. | :11:05. | |
son was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq. If it was up to Donald | :11:06. | :11:15. | |
Trump, he never would have been in America. Donald Trump consistently | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
smears the character of Muslims. You have sacrificed nothing and no one! | :11:27. | :11:36. | |
Today, trumpeted to the airwaves, saying his sacrifices have been | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
different. I think I have made a lot of sacrifices. I work very hard. I | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
have created of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs. He then turned | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
his attention to Mrs Khan, who had stood silently at her husband's side | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
throughout his address. Was she forbidden from speaking by her | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
faith? She had nothing to say. Maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
to say, you tell me. Mr Trump's main rival, Hillary Clinton, said such | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
rhetoric was beyond comprehension. Mrs Khan, for her part, said she had | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
stayed silent because she is still overwhelmed with grief. I am very | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
upset when I heard that I didn't say anything because I was in pain. When | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
you are in pain, you don't say anything. I am not a fighter. I | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
can't fight. Mr Trump has since sought to temper his remarks, | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
calling her son a hero and seeking to refocus debate on the so-called | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
Islamic terrorists who cost her son his life. But it is not in his | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
nature to back down. Indeed, after last week's Convention, which put | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
Hillary Clinton firmly ahead in the polls, Mr Trump has vowed that the | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
gloves will now come off. Nothing, it seems, is off-limits in his | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
unorthodox campaign for president. David Willetts, BBC News, | :13:04. | :13:04. | |
Washington. A 12-year-old boy has been arrested | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
on suspicion of murder It follows the death of a man | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
in his forties, who was assaulted Three teenagers have | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
also been arrested. The Government insists it has no | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
plans to review its so-called triple lock guarantee on pensions, | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
which ensures they rise by at least A former Conservative pensions | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
minister had said the policy is unaffordable, and should | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
be scrapped by 2020. At least 24 police officers have | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
been killed in Afghanistan's southern province of Helmand, | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
in clashes with the Taliban. It's thought the extremists | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
now control 60% of the region, which British troops | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
spent almost a decade defending, Our Defence Correspondent | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
Jonathan Beale has been back This was once home to thousands | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
of British troops, but Camp Bastion British forces were here | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
in Helmand for eight years, but much of what they left behind | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
has turned to dust. When he announced Britain's | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
withdrawal, David Cameron called mission accomplished, | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
but that's not the view of the new Afghan | :14:15. | :14:15. | |
commander in Helmand. Soon after the British left Bastion, | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
the Taliban attacked the camp, Do you think they | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
completed their mission? This is what happened to the Afghan | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
army when the British Last year, there were even fears | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
that the whole province would fall This graveyard of vehicles | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
is evidence of the fierce fighting there has been here in Helmand since | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
the British left just two years ago. It's also evidence of the poor state | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
the Afghan security forces were in, a situation that has only | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
recently changed with the return At the start of this year, | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
500 US troops went back into Helmand, their task | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
to rebuild an army that was, in the words of one US adviser, | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
a sucking chest wound, down to a third of its strength | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
with casualties, Dozens of senior officers | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
have also been replaced. The Americans are now | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
training the Afghans, just as the British did before them, | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
sometimes the very same soldiers. So is this return to Helmand proof | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
that British forces left too soon? We've helped prop it back up over | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
the last year, but if we didn't have the British and the Marine | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
involvement here in Helmand, we would have been | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
starting from zero. We made the decisions based | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
on what the assessment was at the time of the capabilities | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
we thought they had and the numbers of coalition forces that were | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
allowed to remain in Afghanistan. I think they made decisions based | :16:00. | :16:10. | |
on where they thought their US soldiers now occupy a tiny | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
corner of the old Bastion. 456 British service personnel | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
lost their lives in Afghanistan, There are still 500 UK troops | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
in the capital, Kabul. But here in Helmand, | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
it's been left to the Americans Jonathan Beale, BBC News, | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
Helmand. More than two million young | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
Catholics from around the world have attended an open air mass held | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
by Pope Francis in Poland. The gathering was the final event | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
of his five-day tour of the country. In his address, he urged young | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
people to reject hatred In America, some Democrats | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
on Capitol Hill say Congress should be recalled from its summer break | :16:53. | :17:02. | |
to approve emergency funds The call comes as officials | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
in Florida confirm the first infections on the US mainland | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
from mosquitoes carrying the virus. Here, Public Health England has | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
advised pregnant women to consider postponing non-essential | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
travel to Florida. This is the front line in the battle | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
against the Zika virus in southern Florida, | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
health officials trudging the streets, looking | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
for the mosquito that carries the virus and persuading people | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
to take precautions. All four people who are thought | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
to have caught the Zika virus from local mosquitoes live and work | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
in a mile square area in this up-and-coming | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
neighbourhood of Miami. None has ever had to go to hospital, | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
but the authorities This man has been preparing for this | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
for months, and while there will be more local cases, | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
he says there is no reason I would not delay my travel plan | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
here at all, because the living conditions here are so much | :18:03. | :18:15. | |
different than elsewhere We have AC, we have window | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
screening, we have a strong public Florida gets more than 100 million | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
visitors a year. More than 1.5 million | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
of those come from Britain. Some travel firms have offered free | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
cancellation to pregnant women, but among those tourists already | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
here, concern seems low. I think if we brought our children | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
here with us, we would have been concerned, because they're | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
in their twenties, of child-bearing Are you taking any | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
precautions? I'm taking no | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
precautions, no. More than 1,600 people have | :18:43. | :18:43. | |
developed Zika in the continental US, the majority of | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
them through travel. Florida has had 307 of these cases | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
and these southern states are most at risk, because the mosquito that | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
transmits Zika already lives here. What's likely to have happened | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
is that travellers with Zika got bitten by uninfected mosquitoes, | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
which then infected local people. These boys and girls seem oblivious | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
to the concerns about Zika. Their parents, though, | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
fear for their future You would have to carry that | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
worry for the full nine months of your pregnancy, | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
so I think that, you know, But now, Britons who are pregnant | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
are being told to consider postponing travel as everyone waits | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
to see what kind of foothold Zika With all the sport, here's | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes Britain's Lewis Hamilton | :19:34. | :19:45. | |
won his sixth race of the year at the German Grand Prix to move 19 | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
points clear at the top of the Formula One | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Driver's Championship. In recent weeks, Nico Rosberg has | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
seen the drivers championship turn on its head. His Mercedes team-mate | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Lewis Hamilton had overtaken him in the standings, but here he was on | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
pole with a chance to reclaim the lead. In Formula 1, the start is | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
all-important. Rosberg's was a disaster. Bogged down, when he | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
