Rio's Paralympic Games are in severe financial trouble, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
described as the worst crisis for the movement in decades. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
One stadium will close to save money, and ten countries may | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
not make the Games at all, because of delayed travel grants. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
Never before in our 56-year history have we had circumstances like this. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
In the last few minutes, after a dramatic penalty shootout, | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Team GB's women take gold against Holland in the Olympic | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
While Nick Skelton, one of Team GB's oldest competitors at 58, | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
Usain Bolt running away from everybody! | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
19.79 - it's a gold, his eighth gold! | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
All eyes tonight are on Usain Bolt - after winning the 200m, | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
he's one gold away from the treble treble - three golds at three | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
A three-year-old boy has died after he was | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
And after the deaths of nearly 10,000 people in Haiti from cholera, | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
the UN admits it WAS involved in the outbreak of the disease. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
And in sport - Great Britain guarantee themselves another medal, | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
with Joe Joyce joining Nicola Adams in his Olympic boxing final. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
Joyce beat the Kazakhstan fighter Ivan Dychko, | :01:33. | :01:33. | |
and he will face Tony Yoka of France for gold. | :01:34. | :01:55. | |
As millions around the world enjoy the Olympics in Rio, | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
the Paralympic Games is facing its worst | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
financial crisis in more than half a century. | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
With just three weeks to go, a massive budget shortfall means | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
One venue in Rio will close, and funds to help some countries | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
send their athletes to the Games may not be available. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Part of the problem, is that just 12% of tickets | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Our sports editor, Dan Roan, reports from Rio. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
The Beijing and London Paralympics were game-changers | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
They generated huge interest and brought | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
The hope was that Rio's unique backdrop would help | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
But a financial crisis has now meant the Paralympics' budget | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
has been scaled back, less than three weeks | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Never before in the 56-year history of the Paralympic Games have | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Clearly, Brazil is in a far different position now to the one | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
when it won the right to stage both Games. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
A raft of cuts were today announced, including the closure | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
of the Deodoro Park, the second-largest of the four zones | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
There will also be a downsizing of the workforce, the closure | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
of some media centres and cuts to transport services. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Issues during the Olympics such as repairs at the Athletes' Village, | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
extra security and the treatment of the green water at | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
the Aquatics Centre, have meant Paralympic funds | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
Organisers have been promoting the Paralympics, | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
but crucial travel grants are almost three weeks overdue, | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
and even if they are paid, ten countries may not be able | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
The Paralympic budget has been cannibalised to back-fill gaps | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
in the Olympic budget, and that can only have a negative | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
Desperate disappointment for the athletes. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
But one British paralympian preparing to compete in Rio | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
believes the challenges are not insurmountable. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Disabled athletes are used to overcoming barriers. | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Only 12% of tickets for the Rio Paralympics | :04:06. | :04:18. | |
have so far been sold, and some who have travelled | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
I think Brazil must be generous and open the doors. | :04:22. | :04:41. | |
Today at Rio 2016's main ticket office, Paralympic tickets | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
could only be bought at one of these booths. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
The Olympics is much more popular than the Paralympics, | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
They should support the athletes anyway. | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
Brazilians left to do the day before, yes? | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
The Olympics were seen to have taken a calculated risk coming | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
For the next great sporting event of the summer, | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
JUST HOW MUCH OF A SETBACK IS THIS FOR THE PARALYMPIC MOVEMENT, GIVEN | :05:13. | :05:24. | |
THE HUGE strides taken in Beijing and London? Given the fact that the | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Paralympic committee felt the need to confirm that the event would be | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
going ahead at all, just 2.5 weeks before it was meant to start, gives | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
you an indication as to the challenges they face. A combination | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
of political people which has affected sponsorship revenue, | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
economic recession and unseen costs during the James, have confined | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
combined to mean that the local organising committee is effectively | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
broke, it has run out of money. Even though emergency funds have been | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
secured from the local mayor and from the federal government in the | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
last 24 hours, there is this sense that the Paralympics is something of | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
an underfunded afterthought now. They still insist this will be a | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
fantastic Games in terms of sporting performance. It can still be a real | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
game changer when it comes to inclusion and accessibility in South | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
America, especially in terms of TV coverage, where there is due to be | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
unprecedented levels of exposure in the United States. But many will be | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
asking tonight how they can be a funding crisis given the billions of | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
dollars that the international Olympic Mitty generates every cycle, | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
from sponsorship and broadcasting revenue. Many will worry that that | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
progress which we saw in Beijing and in London 2012 would now be undone | :06:40. | :06:52. | |
to a certain extent. In the last few moments, Team GB's women's hockey | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
team has won gold, beating the Netherlands in a penalty shoot-out. | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
It comes after the show jumper Nick Skelton became Britain's | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
second-oldest Olympic gold medallist, in his seventh Games. | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
The 58-year-old, who initially retired 16 years ago | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
after breaking his neck in two places, | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
claimed individual gold after a six-way jump-off. | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
Yes, welcome to the hockey venue, where as you say, what drama we have | :07:13. | :07:26. | |
seen in the last few minutes. Britain's women winning gold in a | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
gripping penalty shoot-out. Earlier on, there had also been gold for | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Nick Skelton in the show-jumping on another memorable day for Team GB. | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
He has had a hip replacement, knee surgery, once even a broken neck. | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
Now he's the Olympic champion. COMMENTATOR: Here we go for gold, | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Nick Skelton, Great Britain... At 58, he was competing before most of | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
his team-mates here were even born. In a six way jump-off for gold, he | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
and his horse Big Star, who has also had injury problems, used every | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
shred of their experience. A clear round. Could anyone match it? Well, | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
under unbearable tension, the answer was no. With fat, Britain had its | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
oldest Olympic champion for more than a century - proof that the best | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
things really do come to those who wait. I'm speechless. The horse was | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
amazing to date, and he's been really unlucky the last few days. I | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
did it the other way around in London and it didn't pay off. So | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
this has been done for him today and he really deserve it. Meanwhile, a | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
mere 35 years younger, Jade Jones, known as the head hunter, and this | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
is why... Those high-scoring head kicks propelled her to her second | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
Olympic title. She celebrated with a dance. Others, with decibels. Back | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
in her Welsh hometown, they could almost be heard in Rio. Another | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
golden moment. And there could be more to come. Boxer Joe Joyce is | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
through to his final. He proved that even super heavyweights can be light | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
on their feet. At the hockey, though, hopes of history. Britain's | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
women in their first Olympic final. Could it be a first gold? There was | :09:33. | :09:42. | |
some drama, Netherlands penalty saved by Maddie Hinch. They then | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
went ahead, fax to Lily Owsley. Could they hold onto the lead? Dutch | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
hit back, the champions living up to their billing, with two pick five | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
goals. Just before half-time, Britain responded, through Crista | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
Cullen. It was breathless stuff and they could not be divided. So to a | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
shoot out. In the British goal, Maddie Hinch was inspired. But it | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
came down to Hollie Webb to fire Britain to gold. For Britain, the | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
most glorious of outcomes. Yes, you sense the celebrations here are only | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
just beginning. What an incredible night for the British fans here. | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
This team had never reached an Olympic final before, and yet here | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
they are, Olympic champions. A stunning performance on another | :10:43. | :10:43. | |
quite stunning day for Team GB. Those medals have cemented Team | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
GB's position They now have 24 golds, | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
two ahead of China in third. Team GB is hoping to match | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
the success of London 2012, The International Olympic committee | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
is to open a disciplinary inquiry against the American swimmer | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Ryan Lochte and three colleagues, | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
over allegations they were Police in Brazil say | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
the Olympic gold medallist - along with team mates - | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
lied about the robbery to cover up vandalism | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
at a petrol station. Lochte today apologised | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
over the incident. Onto other news now, | :11:29. | :11:29. | |
and a three-year-old boy has died after being attacked | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
by a dog in Essex. Dexter Neal had been playing at | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
a house near his home in Halstead. A 29-year-old woman | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
arrested on suspicion of allowing a dog to be | :11:38. | :11:38. | |
dangerously out of control At 5.40 last night, the little boy | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
was attacked by a dog. Neighbours described | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
hearing lots of screaming. Emergency services were called, | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
and Dexter was taken in an air ambulance to hospital, | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
but he later died. I just heard this terrible, | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
terrible scream, and then I just see this man pulling out this very big | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
white dog, and I was like, And I thought, OK, I need | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
to call the police on this. So, as I'm calling the police, | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
I'm describing what I'm seeing, and I can see the mother coming out | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
- I only saw it for a moment - holding this very bloody | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
child in her arms. A 29-year-old woman who was arrested | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
on suspicion of allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control has been | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
questioned and released on bail. Police have confirmed | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
it was an American bulldog, which is not on the list of banned | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
breeds in the UK. The Government introduced | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
the Dangerous Dogs Act almost It banned four breeds, | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
including the pit bull terrier, and made it an offence for owners | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
to not control a dog But latest figures suggest hospital | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
admissions for dog bites or attacks last year were up by 6.5% | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
on the previous 12 months, with children under ten more | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
likely to be admitted. The local MP here says | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
the legislation should I think the last thing we should do | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
now is any kind of knee jerk reaction, but we do need to look | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
at the rules around dog ownership, and also about how dogs are looked | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
after, and particularly This is the second time | :13:12. | :13:14. | |

Halstead. Some abortion services | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
carried out at Marie Stopes International Clinics in England | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
have been suspended. An inspection by the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
watchdog the Care Quality Commission has raised concerns | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
about patient safety. An estimated 250 women a week | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
will now be sent to other providers. Our health editor, | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
Hugh Pym, is here. What's behind all this? The | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
regulator carried out inspections at Marie | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
Stopes sites, unannounced inspections, and they said they had | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
concerns about governance arrangements, particularly around | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
consent and safeguarding and also training and competence in | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
terminations. As a result, Marie Stopes has decided to suspend | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
terminations for all teenagers under 18, vulnerable groups of women, | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
under anaesthetic, and all surgical terminations at its Norwich Centre. | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Marie Stopes says it is working closely with the CQC to try to | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
address these concerns and hopes to restore services in days if given | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
the all clear, but it will affect 250 women per week. NHS England says | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
it's working urgently to try to find alternative provision and care and | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
they have said it's going to be an anxious time for those women | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
affected. A confidential helpline has been set up and there are more | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
details of that on the BBC News website. | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
Russia has denied one of its air raids was responsible for the dazed | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
and bloodied Syrian boy whose photograph has drawn | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
Four year old Omran was rescued from a destroyed building in Aleppo. | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
The Russian defence ministry says its planes operating in Syria | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
never bombed settled areas, and suggested the attack could have | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
The Chairman of Donald Trump's campaign for the White House has | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
resigned just two months into the job. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
Paul Manafort had been accused of receiving payments in the past, | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
to advise pro-Russian groups in Ukraine. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
The UN has now admitted it was involved in the outbreak | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
of cholera in Haiti six years ago, that's killed nearly 10,000 people. | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
Researchers say inadequately treated sewage from a peacekeeping base | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
The UN had repeatedly denied any involvement and still insists | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
it isn't responsible, so is immune from prosecution. | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
So far, 800,000 people are thought to have been taken ill | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
And more than 30 people are still dying every month. | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
From UN headquarters in New York, here's Nick Bryant. | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
Haiti had been free of cholera for 100 years. | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
But the outbreak that has ripped through the Caribbean | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
country since 2010 has killed some 10,000 people, | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
Scientific studies have repeatedly indicated the disease was brought | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
to the country by UN peacekeepers from Nepal, whose human waste | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
But despite the overwhelming weight of evidence, the UN had refused | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
In partnership with the Haitian government, the UN has been heavily | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
engaged in cholera eradication since the 2010 outbreak. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
But over the past year the UN has become convinced that it | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
needs to do much more regarding its own involvement | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
in the initial outbreak and the suffering of those | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
The change of heart at UN headquarters follows a confidential | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
report that found that cholera would not have broken | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
out but for the actions of the United Nations. | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
The report also called its response "morally unconscionable, | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
legally indefensible and politically self-defeating." | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
Last night, a court in New York rejected a compensation claim | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
brought by Haitian victims, upholding the UN's long-held | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
position that it enjoys diplomatic immunity. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
So while the organisation has acknowledged its involvement | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
in the outbreak, it still refuses to accept any legal responsibility. | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
Lawyers acting on behalf of the victims say that's unacceptable. | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
The UN has just been hiding behind its own immunity | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
and that is an absolute denial of its own principles. | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
What it needs to do now is step up and live up | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
continued frustration at the UN's inadequate response. | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
This has a huge impact on the Haitian people. | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
It's something that is not indigenous to them, this | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
is not a disease that they've seen before. | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
It is a new threat to their livelihoods, | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
a new threat to their health and a new threat to their economic | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
And the UN is responsible for that, they need to take action. | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
With dozens still dying from the disease each month, | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
But, to many, its refusal to pay compensation is morally offensive, | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
showing heartlessness in a time of cholera. | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
Nick Bryant, BBC News, New York. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
He's the fastest man in the world, and tonight Jamaica's Usain Bolt | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
is setting his sights on on the treble treble - | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
three gold medals at three olympic games. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
It's a feat never achieved in athletics before. | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
As his competitors gathered their composure, Bolt looked | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
Playing to the Brazilian crowd with a smile-fuelled Samba, | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
no man commands an audience quite like him. | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
What history is written, what more does he have for us? | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
The world record was his for the taking, never has a man | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Quiet please, Mr Bolt is about to start. | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
At six foot five, he's a freak of nature in a sport suited | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
for shorter, more explosive athletes. | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
As he has been throughout his career! | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
But still, no-one could touch him as the fastest legs | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
in the sport carried him to a golden goodbye. | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
But in his last 200 metre Olympic final, he couldn't hide his anguish | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
I ran hard out of the turn, but when I came into the straight, | :19:40. | :19:48. | |
it's like my body would not respond to me, know what I mean? | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
It's just I'm getting older, I'm not as young and fresh. | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
I'm excited to get the gold medal and that's the key thing. | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
Age catches up with us all, but he still knows | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
It doesn't matter the type of camera, they all love him. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
In a sport so tainted by drug cheats, Bolt proved it can | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
If this is it, what on earth are we going to do without him? | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
He's taken our sport to different levels. | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
There has been some great athletes who have been | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
known across the world, but none bigger than Usain Bolt. | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
Well, when the relay finishes here tonight, | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
it could mean history for Usain Bolt, but it also | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
represents a second chance for glory for Britain's Adam Gemili. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Last night, as Bolt celebrated, Gemili lay devastated on the track. | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
The 22-year-old was beaten to bronze by just three thousandths | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
of a second, the finish line photo showing just how agonisingly | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
I lost my form at the end, to get so close, it's heartbreaking. | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
But Bolt turns 30 on Sunday and his mum has been | :20:52. | :21:00. | |
Tonight, relay gold could provide the fondest of farewells for sport's | :21:01. | :21:13. | |
Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :21:14. | :21:17. |
