Russia's entire Paralympic team is banned from competing in Rio

:00:00.:00:08.

after a report finds evidence of state sponsored doping.

:00:09.:00:13.

The International Paralympic Committee blamed a 'medals

:00:14.:00:17.

over morals' mentality - going much further than

:00:18.:00:19.

The anti-doping system in Russia is broken, corrupted and entirely

:00:20.:00:32.

compromised. Also on the programme -

:00:33.:00:33.

the latest from a second London silver medalist

:00:34.:00:38.

Lizzie Armitstead misses out on medals in Rio amid concerns over

:00:39.:00:40.

the safety of the course. Homeowners living in areas

:00:41.:00:44.

where there's fracking for shale gas out in Istanbul to protest

:00:45.:00:48.

against last month's against Pakistan at Edgbaston,

:00:49.:00:57.

to take a 2-1 lead in the series. The entire Russian team has been

:00:58.:01:23.

banned from the Paralympic Games, which begin in Brazil next month,

:01:24.:01:27.

because of what the International Paralympic Committee called

:01:28.:01:31.

a "state-sponsored" doping The committee's chairman,

:01:32.:01:34.

Sir Philip Craven, said he was "disgusted" by a broken

:01:35.:01:37.

system that - in his words - Our sports editor Dan Roan

:01:38.:01:41.

is live in Rio de Janeiro. This is quite simply one of the

:01:42.:01:58.

biggest and most important decisions the Paralympic movement has ever had

:01:59.:02:03.

to take. Paralympic sport is very much growing in stature and

:02:04.:02:07.

strength, you only have to look at the crowds at the London 2012

:02:08.:02:11.

Paralympics to understand that. Russia has become a powerhouse in

:02:12.:02:18.

disability sport, it won 18 medals in the Sochi Paralympics, three

:02:19.:02:22.

times more than any other nation but today it was told it was not welcome

:02:23.:02:27.

at the Rio Paralympics which follow on two weeks after the current Rio

:02:28.:02:32.

Olympics and in doing so, the IPC made a stark contrast with the

:02:33.:02:37.

decision of the IOC in allowing Russia to compete here.

:02:38.:02:42.

Russia did not just host the 2014 Winter games, it dominated them. But

:02:43.:02:51.

we now know Sochi was sabotaged by programme of state-sponsored doping

:02:52.:02:56.

and today the country was punished. The Russian Paralympic committee

:02:57.:02:59.

will not be able to enter its athletes into the real 2016

:03:00.:03:05.

Paralympic games. I believe the Russian government has failed its

:03:06.:03:09.

para athletes. Their medals over morals mentality disgusts me. Last

:03:10.:03:15.

month a damning report revealed systemic cheating in Russia across

:03:16.:03:21.

many sports despite that, the International Olympic Committee

:03:22.:03:24.

resisted demands to ban the entire team from Rio. The country has

:03:25.:03:29.

already won its first gold in the judo competition. But the

:03:30.:03:32.

International Paralympic committee has taken a stronger stance. The

:03:33.:03:36.

anti-doping system in Russia is broken, corrupted and entirely

:03:37.:03:43.

compromised. Everything we have observed goes against the very

:03:44.:03:48.

spirit of sport and everything the Paralympic movement stands for.

:03:49.:03:53.

Russia's sports minister said the country's exclusion was beyond

:03:54.:03:57.

common sense and vowed to appeal, but one British Paralympic Ian

:03:58.:04:01.

backed the decision. This blanket ban is a huge decision and I feel

:04:02.:04:07.

massively for those athletes that are clean and will not have the

:04:08.:04:12.

opportunity to compete on that level. But it does reassure me that

:04:13.:04:17.

the Paralympic movement does have the integrity of the sport and the

:04:18.:04:20.

movement as a whole at the heart of all of this. The Russian national

:04:21.:04:26.

anthem has already been heard at these Olympics. But it's a sound

:04:27.:04:33.

that will be missing when Rio's second great sporting spectacle of

:04:34.:04:35.

the summer gets underway next month. British hopes will focus on swimming

:04:36.:04:51.

as Adam Peaty goes for gold in the 100 metres breaststroke. Richard

:04:52.:04:54.

Cruise to missed out on a medal in the fencing.

:04:55.:05:03.

The places to look for a British medal, fencing hasn't provided one

:05:04.:05:11.

for half a century. Enter Richard Cruise. It is a sport akin to

:05:12.:05:15.

physical chess, they aim to hit without being hit. Crews took an

:05:16.:05:25.

early lead. But his opponent Alex is the world number one. Back he came

:05:26.:05:34.

to 15-9. Cruise's hopes of gold had been dashed. But he still had a

:05:35.:05:41.

chance of bronze, a play-off against Russia and agonisingly, once again

:05:42.:05:46.

it was not to be. So near yet so far, fourth place for Richard

:05:47.:05:53.

Cruise. Britain's wait for a medal goes on. Meanwhile, it was a

:05:54.:05:57.

frustrating day for the organisers and the rollers. High winds on the

:05:58.:06:02.

water and after one boat capsized yesterday, they were taking no

:06:03.:06:07.

chances. Today's action cancelled. But the weather was not the only

:06:08.:06:11.

problem. Lots of empty seats around the venues, including at the tennis.

:06:12.:06:19.

As Andy Murray got his Olympic title defence off to a winning start. It

:06:20.:06:30.

was another good day for the women's rugby sevens team. Two tries from

:06:31.:06:35.

the captain helping them to the quarterfinals with a comprehensive

:06:36.:06:40.

win over Canada. Not everything went according to plan. In the

:06:41.:06:43.

gymnastics, a painful moment for Ellie Downey. Thankfully she was

:06:44.:06:49.

able to walk away and carry on competing. And there was better news

:06:50.:06:57.

in this winning. Jazz Carlin won her heat and qualified second fastest

:06:58.:07:02.

for two nights final of the 400 metres freestyle. After missing

:07:03.:07:06.

London 2012, a chance at last for an Olympic medal. It could be quite a

:07:07.:07:12.

night here in the swimming pool because later on, Adam Peaty goes

:07:13.:07:17.

for gold in the final of the 100 metres breaststroke. He set a world

:07:18.:07:23.

record in the heats. He is the red-hot favourite, so around about

:07:24.:07:27.

three o'clock in the morning, written's wait for a medal at these

:07:28.:07:29.

games might just be over. Meanwhile, British cyclist

:07:30.:07:31.

Lizzie Armitstead has come fifth in the road race -

:07:32.:07:33.

after winning a silver She missed three drugs

:07:34.:07:35.

tests in the past year and was only allowed to compete

:07:36.:07:39.

after appealing to the Court Meanwhile, there's been

:07:40.:07:42.

criticism of the course after a crash which left

:07:43.:07:45.

a Dutch cyclist injured. This report from our sports

:07:46.:07:47.

correspondent Natalie Pirks contains images of the crash which some

:07:48.:07:49.

viewers may find disturbing. The stony face replaced what should

:07:50.:08:02.

have been a joyous moment for Lizzie Armitstead. As world champion in a

:08:03.:08:06.

sport struggling for credibility, she wanted to show fans the beauty

:08:07.:08:10.

in cycling but as she rode to the start line, even some of her fellow

:08:11.:08:14.

racers did not believe she should be there. It's not fair that she can

:08:15.:08:20.

race and other riders cannot. I will be very happy to see her today, but

:08:21.:08:27.

the rules have to be the same for everyone. Lizzie knew she would be a

:08:28.:08:31.

marked woman and her start was less than perfect, picking up a puncture.

:08:32.:08:38.

But in team-mate Emma Pooley, she had a trusty blue tent helping to

:08:39.:08:46.

rein in a breakaway. The Palatine was tightly packed for miles but

:08:47.:08:50.

with the biggest climb to come, Olympic champions Marianne Vos made

:08:51.:08:55.

her move. He is a significant advantage. Having done all the hard

:08:56.:09:00.

work, she faltered leaving her team-mate with open space ahead. But

:09:01.:09:05.

these were gruelling descents for the men yesterday and with the rain

:09:06.:09:10.

sicking up the surface, they proved treacherous for the women also. What

:09:11.:09:14.

follows, a stark reminder of just how dangerous this board can be.

:09:15.:09:21.

She's down! The Dutch federation later said she was conscious and

:09:22.:09:29.

left the mountain in an ambulance. The crash in the USA going for gold

:09:30.:09:34.

with the Lizzie Armitstead trying desperately to real hurt in what it

:09:35.:09:40.

was Anna van de Breggen he came away with gold. A frenetic finish to this

:09:41.:09:44.

race but no medal here for Great Britain. I can't feel sorry for

:09:45.:09:49.

myself. This is sport and that is what it is about. I never gave up

:09:50.:09:55.

and for that I can be proud of myself. Lizzie Armitstead had said

:09:56.:10:00.

this course would be brutal and a battle for survival. The course

:10:01.:10:05.

designers now faced criticism at how true that prediction was. I looked

:10:06.:10:09.

at the road furniture and thought no one can crash here and get up, it's

:10:10.:10:14.

bad. Joy for the Netherlands but tempered by a terrible moment. With

:10:15.:10:19.

major crashes, questions will be asked about whether was done to

:10:20.:10:21.

protect the safety of competitors. Well, at the end of the first

:10:22.:10:24.

weekend of competition let's talk to our sports editor

:10:25.:10:27.

Dan Roan who's in Rio. Dan, what's your assessment of how

:10:28.:10:29.

the games have gone so far? No shortage of drama, no shortage of

:10:30.:10:43.

excitement so far. On the other hand, two days into competition,

:10:44.:10:47.

these games cannot shake off the doping related controversies. The

:10:48.:10:53.

IPC's decision to kick Russia out of the Paralympics puts it very much at

:10:54.:10:58.

odds with the decision of the International Olympic Committee,

:10:59.:11:00.

which received criticism by resisting demands to do the same

:11:01.:11:05.

last week when it came to their events. The Paralympic, Olympic

:11:06.:11:12.

movement divided. Fresh allegations regarding doping in Kenya today. On

:11:13.:11:17.

top of that, organisers are having to tackle other issues- safety

:11:18.:11:22.

concerns, the wind cause havoc today as well, delays at the rowing,

:11:23.:11:28.

kayaking and tennis venues. Organisers have been trying and

:11:29.:11:30.

improve the long queues we saw yesterday but they have plenty to

:11:31.:11:36.

still get a grip on. That is always the way in the early days. As for

:11:37.:11:42.

Team GB, a slow start, disappointment so far, no medals but

:11:43.:11:45.

that could all change in the pool when Adam Peaty goes for gold. If he

:11:46.:11:52.

can manage that, maybe that can trigger some kind of gold rush as

:11:53.:11:58.

Team GB tries to win more gold medals than in any away game in

their history. The government's being accused

of trying to bribe people to accept Ministers are proposing that

:12:05.:12:07.

individual households are given cash payments -

potentially running into thousands of pounds -

:12:16.:12:17.

to ensure they personally benefit from any decision to go ahead with

:12:18.:12:20.

the way of extracting shale gas. Labour have accused the government

of trying to set neighbour Here's our Political

:12:24.:12:25.

:12:26.:12:28.

plagued by controversy. There were angry scenes

intervention that Theresa May has done so that the local community can

:13:52.:13:54.

benefit directly, rather than just using a community group,

:13:55.:13:58.

because that will involve committees and trying to agree

:13:59.:14:01.

on what to spend the money on. But those opposed say the Government

:14:02.:14:05.

should focus on renewable energy, not trying to win

:14:06.:14:09.

people round to fracking. What Theresa May is trying

:14:10.:14:12.

to do is a cheap bribe, trying to bribe communities that

which benefit people personally, There are questions about how it

:14:46.:14:47.

would work and the amounts involved. But the Prime Minister has already

said something similar could be Some activists say this will just

strengthen their resolve to fight. Others hope this could encourage

people to lay down their placards Labour and the Liberal Democrats say

:15:04.:15:06.

they will oppose any government plans to lift the ban on new grammar

schools in England. Reports say Theresa May is keen

:15:17.:15:19.

to see a reintroduction of the schools, which were banned

:15:20.:15:21.

by Labour in 1998. The move will please some

:15:22.:15:24.

back-bench Conservative MPs, although the Tory chair

:15:25.:15:26.

of parliament's education committee, Neil Carmichael, said tonight it

:15:27.:15:28.

would not improve social mobility. Belgian prosecutors believe a man

:15:29.:15:35.

who attacked two women police officers with a machete

:15:36.:15:37.

in the southern city of Charleroi yesterday may have been

:15:38.:15:39.

inspired by terrorism. They say the man, who was shot

:15:40.:15:42.

dead by another officer, He came from Algeria and had been

:15:43.:15:45.

living in Belgium since 2012. More than a million people have

been taking been part in a rally in Istanbul,

:15:59.:16:00.

to protest against last Turkish President Recep Tayyip

:16:01.:16:02.

Erdogan addressed the huge crowds, thanking the public for their role

:16:03.:16:06.

in defeating the coup. But despite the show

:16:07.:16:08.

of loyalty, many are concerned about the severity of the crackdown

:16:09.:16:10.

on those accused of taking part. And parents of some of the young

:16:11.:16:13.

conscripts killed while supporting the coup say their sons took

:16:14.:16:16.

part without being told Our correspondent Nafiseh Kohnavard

:16:17.:16:18.

reports from Istanbul. From the start, it was going to be

:16:19.:16:40.

different. 200 ferries had been put on to take people to the event they

:16:41.:16:48.

called a democracy and maters rally. The crowds here are chanting, Martas

:16:49.:16:59.

will never die, the country won't be divided. And inside there was a

:17:00.:17:05.

clear display of national unity. Crowds never seen before all waving

:17:06.:17:12.

one flag and mostly waiting for one man. If President at a gun had been

:17:13.:17:20.

shaken by last month 's failed coup, you would not know it today. He

:17:21.:17:28.

called for national unity and said the people behind the coup were

:17:29.:17:38.

terrorists. But that is not how this man is remembered by his family. He

:17:39.:17:46.

was a conscript and worked in the army canteen. He was killed taking

:17:47.:17:56.

part in the coup. But his family say he had no idea what he was involved

:17:57.:18:02.

in. TRANSLATION:

:18:03.:18:06.

My son did not know anything about the coup. They woke him up in the

:18:07.:18:10.

night and told him there was an operation. His commanders led my son

:18:11.:18:15.

to death on purpose. This was the moment the soldiers on the bridge

:18:16.:18:19.

surrendered. Moments later, this video was taken. It shows the last

:18:20.:18:29.

moments. In the background a boy says, stop beating him, he is

already dead. TRANSLATION:

been crying ever since. This pain is killing me and I'm burning on the

coup has brought parts of Turkey together. But it has also destroyed
