:00:49. > :00:57.against last month's against Pakistan at Edgbaston,

:01:24. > :01:27.banned from the Paralympic Games, which begin in Brazil next month,
:01:28. > :01:31.because of what the International Paralympic Committee called
:01:32. > :01:34.a "state-sponsored" doping The committee's chairman,
:01:35. > :01:37.Sir Philip Craven, said he was "disgusted" by a broken
:01:38. > :01:41.system that - in his words - Our sports editor Dan Roan
:01:42. > :01:58.is live in Rio de Janeiro. This is quite simply one of the
:01:59. > :02:03.biggest and most important decisions the Paralympic movement has ever had
:02:04. > :02:07.to take. Paralympic sport is very much growing in stature and
:02:08. > :02:11.strength, you only have to look at the crowds at the London 2012
:02:12. > :02:18.Paralympics to understand that. Russia has become a powerhouse in
:02:19. > :02:22.disability sport, it won 18 medals in the Sochi Paralympics, three
:02:23. > :02:27.times more than any other nation but today it was told it was not welcome
:02:28. > :02:32.at the Rio Paralympics which follow on two weeks after the current Rio
:02:33. > :02:37.Olympics and in doing so, the IPC made a stark contrast with the
:02:38. > :02:42.decision of the IOC in allowing Russia to compete here.
:02:43. > :02:51.Russia did not just host the 2014 Winter games, it dominated them. But
:02:52. > :02:56.we now know Sochi was sabotaged by programme of state-sponsored doping
:02:57. > :02:59.and today the country was punished. The Russian Paralympic committee
:03:00. > :03:05.will not be able to enter its athletes into the real 2016
:03:06. > :03:09.Paralympic games. I believe the Russian government has failed its
:03:10. > :03:15.para athletes. Their medals over morals mentality disgusts me. Last
:03:16. > :03:21.month a damning report revealed systemic cheating in Russia across
:03:22. > :03:24.many sports despite that, the International Olympic Committee
:03:25. > :03:29.resisted demands to ban the entire team from Rio. The country has
:03:30. > :03:32.already won its first gold in the judo competition. But the
:03:33. > :03:36.International Paralympic committee has taken a stronger stance. The
:03:37. > :03:43.anti-doping system in Russia is broken, corrupted and entirely
:03:44. > :03:48.compromised. Everything we have observed goes against the very
:03:49. > :03:53.spirit of sport and everything the Paralympic movement stands for.
:03:54. > :03:57.Russia's sports minister said the country's exclusion was beyond
:03:58. > :04:01.common sense and vowed to appeal, but one British Paralympic Ian
:04:02. > :04:07.backed the decision. This blanket ban is a huge decision and I feel
:04:08. > :04:12.massively for those athletes that are clean and will not have the
:04:13. > :04:17.opportunity to compete on that level. But it does reassure me that
:04:18. > :04:20.the Paralympic movement does have the integrity of the sport and the
:04:21. > :04:26.movement as a whole at the heart of all of this. The Russian national
:04:27. > :04:33.anthem has already been heard at these Olympics. But it's a sound
:04:34. > :04:35.that will be missing when Rio's second great sporting spectacle of
:04:36. > :04:51.the summer gets underway next month. British hopes will focus on swimming
:04:52. > :04:54.as Adam Peaty goes for gold in the 100 metres breaststroke. Richard
:04:55. > :05:03.Cruise to missed out on a medal in the fencing.
:05:04. > :05:11.The places to look for a British medal, fencing hasn't provided one
:05:12. > :05:15.for half a century. Enter Richard Cruise. It is a sport akin to
:05:16. > :05:25.physical chess, they aim to hit without being hit. Crews took an
:05:26. > :05:34.early lead. But his opponent Alex is the world number one. Back he came
:05:35. > :05:41.to 15-9. Cruise's hopes of gold had been dashed. But he still had a
:05:42. > :05:46.chance of bronze, a play-off against Russia and agonisingly, once again
:05:47. > :05:53.it was not to be. So near yet so far, fourth place for Richard
:05:54. > :05:57.Cruise. Britain's wait for a medal goes on. Meanwhile, it was a
:05:58. > :06:02.frustrating day for the organisers and the rollers. High winds on the
:06:03. > :06:07.water and after one boat capsized yesterday, they were taking no
:06:08. > :06:11.chances. Today's action cancelled. But the weather was not the only
:06:12. > :06:19.problem. Lots of empty seats around the venues, including at the tennis.
:06:20. > :06:30.As Andy Murray got his Olympic title defence off to a winning start. It
:06:31. > :06:35.was another good day for the women's rugby sevens team. Two tries from
:06:36. > :06:40.the captain helping them to the quarterfinals with a comprehensive
:06:41. > :06:43.win over Canada. Not everything went according to plan. In the
:06:44. > :06:49.gymnastics, a painful moment for Ellie Downey. Thankfully she was
:06:50. > :06:57.able to walk away and carry on competing. And there was better news
:06:58. > :07:02.in this winning. Jazz Carlin won her heat and qualified second fastest
:07:03. > :07:06.for two nights final of the 400 metres freestyle. After missing
:07:07. > :07:12.London 2012, a chance at last for an Olympic medal. It could be quite a
:07:13. > :07:17.night here in the swimming pool because later on, Adam Peaty goes
:07:18. > :07:23.for gold in the final of the 100 metres breaststroke. He set a world
:07:24. > :07:27.record in the heats. He is the red-hot favourite, so around about
:07:28. > :07:29.three o'clock in the morning, written's wait for a medal at these
:07:30. > :07:31.games might just be over. Meanwhile, British cyclist
:07:32. > :07:33.Lizzie Armitstead has come fifth in the road race -
:07:34. > :07:35.after winning a silver She missed three drugs
:07:36. > :07:39.tests in the past year and was only allowed to compete
:07:40. > :07:42.after appealing to the Court Meanwhile, there's been
:07:43. > :07:45.criticism of the course after a crash which left
:07:46. > :07:47.a Dutch cyclist injured. This report from our sports
:07:48. > :07:49.correspondent Natalie Pirks contains images of the crash which some
:07:50. > :08:02.viewers may find disturbing. The stony face replaced what should
:08:03. > :08:06.have been a joyous moment for Lizzie Armitstead. As world champion in a
:08:07. > :08:10.sport struggling for credibility, she wanted to show fans the beauty
:08:11. > :08:14.in cycling but as she rode to the start line, even some of her fellow
:08:15. > :08:20.racers did not believe she should be there. It's not fair that she can
:08:21. > :08:27.race and other riders cannot. I will be very happy to see her today, but
:08:28. > :08:31.the rules have to be the same for everyone. Lizzie knew she would be a
:08:32. > :08:38.marked woman and her start was less than perfect, picking up a puncture.
:08:39. > :08:46.But in team-mate Emma Pooley, she had a trusty blue tent helping to
:08:47. > :08:50.rein in a breakaway. The Palatine was tightly packed for miles but
:08:51. > :08:55.with the biggest climb to come, Olympic champions Marianne Vos made
:08:56. > :09:00.her move. He is a significant advantage. Having done all the hard
:09:01. > :09:05.work, she faltered leaving her team-mate with open space ahead. But
:09:06. > :09:10.these were gruelling descents for the men yesterday and with the rain
:09:11. > :09:14.sicking up the surface, they proved treacherous for the women also. What
:09:15. > :09:21.follows, a stark reminder of just how dangerous this board can be.
:09:22. > :09:29.She's down! The Dutch federation later said she was conscious and
:09:30. > :09:34.left the mountain in an ambulance. The crash in the USA going for gold
:09:35. > :09:40.with the Lizzie Armitstead trying desperately to real hurt in what it
:09:41. > :09:44.was Anna van de Breggen he came away with gold. A frenetic finish to this
:09:45. > :09:49.race but no medal here for Great Britain. I can't feel sorry for
:09:50. > :09:55.myself. This is sport and that is what it is about. I never gave up
:09:56. > :10:00.and for that I can be proud of myself. Lizzie Armitstead had said
:10:01. > :10:05.this course would be brutal and a battle for survival. The course
:10:06. > :10:09.designers now faced criticism at how true that prediction was. I looked
:10:10. > :10:14.at the road furniture and thought no one can crash here and get up, it's
:10:15. > :10:19.bad. Joy for the Netherlands but tempered by a terrible moment. With
:10:20. > :10:21.major crashes, questions will be asked about whether was done to
:10:22. > :10:24.protect the safety of competitors. Well, at the end of the first
:10:25. > :10:27.weekend of competition let's talk to our sports editor
:10:28. > :10:29.Dan Roan who's in Rio. Dan, what's your assessment of how
:10:30. > :10:43.the games have gone so far? No shortage of drama, no shortage of
:10:44. > :10:47.excitement so far. On the other hand, two days into competition,
:10:48. > :10:53.these games cannot shake off the doping related controversies. The
:10:54. > :10:58.IPC's decision to kick Russia out of the Paralympics puts it very much at
:10:59. > :11:00.odds with the decision of the International Olympic Committee,
:11:01. > :11:05.which received criticism by resisting demands to do the same
:11:06. > :11:12.last week when it came to their events. The Paralympic, Olympic
:11:13. > :11:17.movement divided. Fresh allegations regarding doping in Kenya today. On
:11:18. > :11:22.top of that, organisers are having to tackle other issues- safety
:11:23. > :11:28.concerns, the wind cause havoc today as well, delays at the rowing,
:11:29. > :11:30.kayaking and tennis venues. Organisers have been trying and
:11:31. > :11:36.improve the long queues we saw yesterday but they have plenty to
:11:37. > :11:42.still get a grip on. That is always the way in the early days. As for
:11:43. > :11:45.Team GB, a slow start, disappointment so far, no medals but
:11:46. > :11:52.that could all change in the pool when Adam Peaty goes for gold. If he
:11:53. > :11:58.can manage that, maybe that can trigger some kind of gold rush as
:11:59. > :12:00.Team GB tries to win more gold medals than in any away game in
:12:01. > :12:04.their history. The government's being accused
:12:05. > :12:07.of trying to bribe people to accept Ministers are proposing that
:12:08. > :12:15.individual households are given cash payments -
:12:16. > :12:17.potentially running into thousands of pounds -
:12:18. > :12:20.to ensure they personally benefit from any decision to go ahead with
:12:21. > :12:23.the way of extracting shale gas. Labour have accused the government
:12:24. > :12:25.of trying to set neighbour Here's our Political
:12:26. > :12:28.Correspondent Alex Forsyth. The concept of fracking has been
:12:29. > :12:31.plagued by controversy. There were angry scenes
:12:32. > :12:34.in North Yorkshire when the council These hills are the battleground
:12:35. > :12:44.between those who say shale gas deep below could help meet the UK's
:12:45. > :12:47.energy needs and those who fear it Now residents in affected towns
:12:48. > :12:55.like Kirby Misperton have been The Prime Minister is consulting
:12:56. > :13:02.on plans to give up to 10% of tax revenues directly to households
:13:03. > :13:07.instead of councils or local trusts. I think it's divisive,
:13:08. > :13:11.because some people would love a few thousand pounds in their bank
:13:12. > :13:14.account, and then other people, because they're against
:13:15. > :13:19.the fracking, they will attack them. It looks very attractive,
:13:20. > :13:24.but it's just local blackmail. I use central heating,
:13:25. > :13:26.I drive a car. You have got to be careful,
:13:27. > :13:33.and I think you do have to see it Fracking involves injecting water,
:13:34. > :13:39.sand and chemicals at high pressure into shale rocks deep underground,
:13:40. > :13:42.releasing gas that can be Supporters say it's a safe energy
:13:43. > :13:47.resource which will boost local economies,
:13:48. > :13:51.and households should benefit. I think it's a really good
:13:52. > :13:54.intervention that Theresa May has done so that the local community can
:13:55. > :13:58.benefit directly, rather than just using a community group,
:13:59. > :14:01.because that will involve committees and trying to agree
:14:02. > :14:05.on what to spend the money on. But those opposed say the Government
:14:06. > :14:09.should focus on renewable energy, not trying to win
:14:10. > :14:12.people round to fracking. What Theresa May is trying
:14:13. > :14:16.to do is a cheap bribe, trying to bribe communities that
:14:17. > :14:36.have said time and again The new Prime Minister has already
:14:37. > :14:37.forced one new nuclear project. Marking a different approach to her
:14:38. > :14:41.predecessors. Theresa May said today's
:14:42. > :14:42.announcement is putting into practice what she promised
:14:43. > :14:45.when she stood here and took office, making economic decisions
:14:46. > :14:47.which benefit people personally, There are questions about how it
:14:48. > :14:53.would work and the amounts involved. But the Prime Minister has already
:14:54. > :14:56.said something similar could be Some activists say this will just
:14:57. > :15:03.strengthen their resolve to fight. Others hope this could encourage

:15:07. > :15:16.they will oppose any government plans to lift the ban on new grammar

:15:20. > :15:21.to see a reintroduction of the schools, which were banned
:15:22. > :15:24.by Labour in 1998. The move will please some

:15:27. > :15:28.of parliament's education committee, Neil Carmichael, said tonight it
:15:29. > :15:35.would not improve social mobility. Belgian prosecutors believe a man
:15:36. > :15:37.who attacked two women police officers with a machete
:15:38. > :15:39.in the southern city of Charleroi yesterday may have been
:15:40. > :15:42.inspired by terrorism. They say the man, who was shot
:15:43. > :15:45.dead by another officer, He came from Algeria and had been
:15:46. > :15:58.living in Belgium since 2012. More than a million people have

:16:41. > :16:48.different. 200 ferries had been put on to take people to the event they
:16:49. > :16:59.called a democracy and maters rally. The crowds here are chanting, Martas
:17:00. > :17:05.will never die, the country won't be divided. And inside there was a
:17:06. > :17:12.clear display of national unity. Crowds never seen before all waving
:17:13. > :17:20.one flag and mostly waiting for one man. If President at a gun had been

:17:29. > :17:38.called for national unity and said the people behind the coup were
:17:39. > :17:46.terrorists. But that is not how this man is remembered by his family. He
:17:47. > :17:56.was a conscript and worked in the army canteen. He was killed taking
:17:57. > :18:02.part in the coup. But his family say he had no idea what he was involved
:18:03. > :18:06.in. TRANSLATION:
:18:07. > :18:10.My son did not know anything about the coup. They woke him up in the
:18:11. > :18:15.night and told him there was an operation. His commanders led my son
:18:16. > :18:19.to death on purpose. This was the moment the soldiers on the bridge
:18:20. > :18:29.surrendered. Moments later, this video was taken. It shows the last
:18:30. > :18:32.moments. In the background a boy says, stop beating him, he is

:18:50. > :18:53.been crying ever since. This pain is killing me and I'm burning on the
:18:54. > :19:00.inside and I hope whoever did this will burn like me. In some ways, the
:19:01. > :19:06.coup has brought parts of Turkey together. But it has also destroyed
