Tonight at Ten: South Africa's President Zuma narrowly | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
survives his latest vote of no confidence. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
Celebrations outside parliament as the result of the secret | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
President Zuma said it showed the strength of his party. | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
It is powerful, it is big, it is difficult to defeat | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
But it's the 8th vote of no confidence he has faced in less | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
than a decade amid continuing allegations of corruption. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
After some of his own party voted against, we'll be asking what impact | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Anger at the World Championships after one of the favourites to win | :00:41. | :00:52. | |

Really, I was at the top of my game to come here. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
I was ready to make everything possible. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
President Trump has this warning for North Korea | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
amid reports it's miniaturised a nuclear warhead that | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
North Korea best not make any threats to the United States. | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
They will be met with fire and fury, like | :01:17. | :01:18. | |

The South African President Jacob Zuma has narrowly survived a vote | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
The secret ballot in parliament was the eighth vote of no confidence | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
It was called amid repeated allegations of corruption | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
After the ballot, Jacob Zuma celebrated with his supporters | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
and told them that the vote had confirmed the popularity of the ANC | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Our South Africa correspondent Milton Nkosi reports from Cape Town. | :02:37. | :02:49. | |
President Jacob Zuma lives to fight another day. He's managed to hang on | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
after an 8th motion of no confidence in his leadership. He is certainly | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
on his 9th life now. Here, in a packed National Assembly, opposition | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
MPs began by listing a litany of corruption scandals against the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
President. And urging them to cast a vote for the good of the country. I | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
know what Nelson Mandela would have done in this house today. Vote with | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
your conscience and remove this corrupt and broken President from | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
office. APPLAUSE | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
I plead you, let us put the people of South Africa first. And vote to | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
remove Jacob Zuma today. I thank you. For the first time, it was a | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
secret ballot, specifically requested by the opposition with the | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
aim of protecting ANC MPs who wanted to vote against their own party's | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
wishes. The yes, 177. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | :04:06. | :04:20. | |
The no, 198. A narrow victory for President Zuma, the party's leaders | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
were relieved. We have defeated this motion and to us that is the most | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
important aspect. Other issues of course within the African National | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Congress, there are many issues we need to do. This was the most recent | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
attempt to oust the 75-year-old. He has been accused of spending public | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
funds in controversial security upgrades to his private residence. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
This vote was perhaps the biggest sign of Zuma's fading support within | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
his own party. It's believed around 40 ANC MPs voted against him, | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
leaving opposition leaders encouraged. It was a close vote. I | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
believe that the unity of the opposition showed today that we can | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
collaborate and show the people of this country that we are willing to | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
work together, we are going to continue this fight. President Zuma | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
has been in power for close to a decade now. But the country remains | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
divided and the country is at another crossroads. He plans to step | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
down as leader of the ANC in December, but with political | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
tensions running high, it's unclear whether he can remain President of | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
the country until the 2019 elections. | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
So the 8th vote of no confidence in eight years, how significant was the | :05:46. | :05:59. | |
result for him tonight? This was very significant because President | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Zuma was literally fighting people from within his party. Remember, | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
that the ANC has always been a solid bloc, taking on the opposition and | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
it enjoys a huge majority in parliament. The members of Assembly | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
have a total of 400, the ANC has about 249 and total of all the | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
opposition parties put together come up to 151. So it means that a good | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
chunk of the ANC MPs voted against their party's wishes. This simply | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
means that it's going to be a long road for President Jacob Zuma as he | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
limps towards December when he steps down as leader of the African | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
National Congress. His preferred successor is his former wife but | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
some in the party want his current deputy President to take over from | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
him. So it's not an easy victory for him, he will celebrate, but not for | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
too long. Thank you. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
President Trump has warned North Korea that it will be met | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
with "fire and fury like the world has never seen" - if it threatens | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
It comes after reports that North Korea has successfully | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
miniaturised a nuclear warhead to fit it onto a missile. | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Last month, the isolated communist state successfully tested two | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
missiles with intercontinental range for the first time. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
This was Donald Trump's warning this evening. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
He has been very threatening beyond a normal state, | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
and as I said they will be met with the fire and fury and, frankly, | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Let's speak to Nick Bryant, who's in Washington. | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Certainly strong words from the President, but what does it amount | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
to? American Presidents often reserve strongest words for North | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Korea. George Bush describing them as part of the ax circumstances of | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
evil. This is a rear toical escalation, fire and fury it's | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
retorical, shock and awe and begs the question how does that tough | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
talk translate into policy? Especially at a time when the US | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Secretary of State has been in the region and used much more | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
concilliatory language, talked about the possibility of negotiations with | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
North Korea... Apologies for that, we will have to leave that because | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
of the interfence on the line. We will go on with the next report. | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
There's a growing health divide between the North | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
and South of England, with people in the north 20% more | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
Researchers at the University of Manchester said the study | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
of death records revealed a "tale of two Englands, | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
there were 1.2 million more premature deaths in the North - | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
In 2015, among 35-44 year-olds there were 49% more deaths | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
And among the younger age group of 25-34 year-olds, | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
Our health editor Hugh Pym has been examining | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
They're calling it a tale of two Englands, | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
The authors of a new study say they've highlighted for the first | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
time a higher death rate in the North amongst a younger | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
section of the population, more people are dying earlier. | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
I discussed the issue with Professor Iain Buchan, | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
one of the report authors, a local GP, Dr Brian Hope | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
from Salford, and Dave Bagley from Bolton who runs a charity | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
So the differences between north and south are profoundly social | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
and economic and that is most probably why we've seen the North | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
left behind with the improving public health in the wake | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
of increasing prosperity in the South. | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
The others agree the economic background is crucial, | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
What does it feel like to be in those poor areas where you know | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
you're never going to participate, that's the thing that's changed, | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
people know they're not going to participate in that. | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Whereas I grew up in a poor area, and I knew I had | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
But aspirations in themselves cost money in a way because actually | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
This research demonstrates that without that investment, | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
without that structural change that comes with investment that people | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
live with a lesser degree of hope for the future. | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
All of this, says the GP, means an acceptance of poor health | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
We expect to be overweight, we expect to smoke. | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
We expect to struggle from one job to the next. | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
So life is very, very stressful and I think some of those other | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
behaviours come as a consequence of that but what we have to do | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
is make the best of a situation often by prescribing medication | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
and often by picking up the pieces by sorting out their heart disease, | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
their diabetes and what have you, so none of this - I am alarmed | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
by this research but I am not surprised by it. | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
They paint a gloomy picture but are there grounds for optimism? | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
There is hope and I think people to some degree | :11:37. | :11:50. | |
when they realise actually, you know what, no one else is out | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
there to give me a lift now, I have to somehow find some | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
Sometimes that does generate in itself a regeneration and I think | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
where local authorities have got a vision for the future actually | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
some of that is aspirational as well as factual and that does | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
A Government spokeswoman said action was being taken to address the root | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
social causes of health inequalities and the north-west of England | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
on the long-running debate on the north/south divide. | :12:15. | :12:26. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
A man from Bury has been convicted of attempting to take a pipe bomb | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
The device was found in Nadeem Muhammad's luggage. | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
He was initially allowed to continue his journey before | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
police realised a week a later that the device was viable. | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
Norfolk Police are running extra patrols in the village | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
of East Harling after an 83-year-old man was murdered while walking his | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
The father of two - who hasn't been named - | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
died from stab wounds to his head and neck. | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
Police have asked people living nearby to check their bins | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
as they continue to search for the murder weapon. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
The Justice Secretary has approved the transfer to an open prison | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Noye, who's 70, was given a life sentence in 2000, | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
for murdering Stephen Cameron in a road rage attack on the M25. | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
The move follows a recommendation by the Parole Board. | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
Police have appealed for information after a jogger appeared to push | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
a woman into the path of a bus on a bridge in London. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
CCTV footage shows the man running across Putney Bridge in south-west | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
London and knocking over the 33-year-old woman. | :13:36. | :13:36. | |
The bus driver had to swerve to avoid her. | :13:37. | :13:52. | |
Back to the world athletics and the 400 metres has taken place | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
in the last half an hour without one of the favourites Isaac Makwala. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
Around 30 athletes and support staff have been connected. Here is our | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
sports editor. He's one of the world's leading | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
sprinters and the highest profile victim yet of the vomiting bug that | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
has hit athletics World Despite insisting he was fit | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
to race into night's 400 metres final, Botswana's Isaac | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Makwala was refused access from the London stadium and | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
forced to withdraw. This morning, having already been | :14:24. | :14:24. | |
ruled out of the 200 metres against his will, | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
he told the BBC he was devastated. I worked hard for this and it is sad | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
for me because I was top I was ready to make | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
everything possible. Tonight, the athlete | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
at the centre of the storm made an impassioned plea | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
to participate, tweeting, "It's like the whole world is | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
making noise for me. I just want to hear that gun go | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
and I setting off the blocks. Governing body the IAAF insist | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
Makwala has an infectious disease and that regulations mean he | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
has to be quarantined for 48 hours but the Botswana team | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
say their athlete has not We respect the decision if it is | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
based on public health issues. However, it is the manner in | :15:07. | :15:21. | |
which this decision was arrived at This man has been approached | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
in dribs and drabs. Makwala is one of 30 athletes | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
and support staff reporting illness after a suspected outbreak of | :15:30. | :15:31. | |

the London stadium. Tomorrow marks the tenth | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
of the biggest financial crash since the Great Depression. | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
it all began when a French bank flagged problems in the United | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
States mortgage market. It lead to the collapse of one | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
of America's biggest banks, Lehman Brothers, and here in the UK | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
to the nationalisation of Northern As our business editor | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
Simon Jack explains, for many, the tenth anniversary of the crash | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
marks a lost decade. The collapse of US investment bank | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
Lehman Brothers saw workers take home their careers in boxes. The | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
first UK bank run in 140th saw queues outside Northern Rock and a | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
bailout for RBS, which had grown to be the biggest bank in the world. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
The number of homes going into foreclosure is stunning. It all | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
started when a French bank admitted it did not know whether its | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
investment in US property were worth anything. What started as a | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
financial trader's Caddick caused an epidemic we are still recovering | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
from today. The crisis ripped an enormous hole in the nation's | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
finances as a sharp downturn in the economy led to sharp downturn in | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
government tax receipts, by 2010 at the government was having to borrow | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
everyone that -- borrow ?1 in every four expect and although the extra | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
it is borrowing each year started to fall, the total debt pile continues | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
to rise and now stands at nearly 90% of total national income, a whopping | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
?1.7 trillion. Because the economy has been doing so badly and because | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
we started off at such a high level of borrowing, the government has | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
been having to reduce spending and increase taxes to close the gap. All | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
of the pain we have had in the last several years has just about got | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
public spending back to where it was before the recession. Those tremors | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
in seemingly distant financial institutions soon turned into a | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
full-blown economic earthquake and the shock waves spread out to affect | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
the lives of just about every citizen. It did not take long for | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
that national financial stress to show up locally as the government | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
tried desperately to cut spending. Hundreds of libraries had to close. | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
This one was handed to the local community and it needs to be self | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
financing within the year. Things like parks, museums, child care, | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
care for the elderly, all felt the squeeze. In fact, local authority | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
spending has fallen 25% in real terms since the crisis. The pressure | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
has not just been on services but on pocket as well. Pay in the public | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
and private sector has stalled. I work in the NHS so I haven't had | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
anything resembling a decent pay rise in about nine or ten years. I | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
work in a hairdressers and I've noticed people spread out their | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
appointments more than they used to, they used to be every six weeks and | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
now they are every eight or nine. You can't save anything now because | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
the interest rates are so low, you don't get any money back. I suppose | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
pastorally I can't grumble because my earnings have gone up since then. | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
Over ten years, you would expect to be getting better off but in fact | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
wages have gone nowhere. For every ?100 workers were making in 2007, | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
they are now making less than ?98 so workers are ?2.20, or a posh coffee | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
down, on an entire decade. Let me give you an idea of how often that | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
happens. Real income growth has not been this week in this country since | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
the middle of the 19th century. Events that started in the City of | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
London a decade ago still being felt nationally, locally and personally. | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
The last ten years have been unique and not in a good way. Simon Jack, | :20:21. | :20:21. | |
BBC News. Votes are being counted | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
in Kenya's general election, which is being seen as too | :20:25. | :20:25. | |
close to call. The contest has pitted | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
President Uhuru Kenyatta against his long-standing | :20:29. | :20:29. | |
rival Raila Odinga. There have been long | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
queues at polling stations across the country | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
and voting hours were The election has been peaceful, | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
but there are fears the result Alastair Leithead | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
reports from Nairobi. His report contains | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
flash photography. It's one of Africa's biggest | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
elections, in one of its most Millions turned out to elect | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
a new president, with more riding on how it is won rather | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
than who actually wins it. Opposition leader Raila Odinga has | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
used the glare of publicity to question the whole process, | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
claiming he has been robbed of the presidency before | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
and he won't let it happen again. Incumbent president Uhuru Kenyatta | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
is chasing a second and final term. He is the son of the country's first | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
president and has the resources My competitors, as I have always | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
said, in the event that they lose, let us accept the will | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
of the people. I am willing myself to accept | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
the will of the people so to them, Let us come together. | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
Let us pull this country together. Ten years ago, Kenya tore | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
itself apart as elections At least 1200 people died. | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
The wounds are still open. Mr Uhuru Kenyatta is | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
criminally responsible... It led Kenyatta and his deputy | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
to The Hague on International Criminal Court charges of inciting | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
violence which were Nobody wants a repeat of that | :22:00. | :22:00. | |
violence but that is up In order for this election to be | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
successful and peaceful, people have to have trust | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
in the system, to consider it to have been free and fair, | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
particularly in the opposition strongholds that are | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
the biggest slums in Nairobi. And if it is really close, | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
how people will react will depend on how gracious the loser | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
is in defeat. Fingerprints matching voters | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
to the electoral roll. It slowed the process down | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
and led to long lines Before the poll, the election | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
commission's head of technology appeared on TV, reassuring people | :22:35. | :22:43. | |
that his system could not be rigged. But when his tortured and strangled | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
body was found a week ago, When the polling stations closed, | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
it was with relief that We appreciate it is | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
a peaceful election. The system this time has been much | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
better than last time. The voting is very | :23:03. | :23:16. | |
fast, as you can see. But the big test will come | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
if the result is close The opposition has threatened | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
to call its supporters out on the streets, and that | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
could lead to violence. Alastair Leithead, | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
BBC News, Nairobi. Back to the world athletics | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
and the 400 metres has taken place in the last half an hour without one | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
of the favourites, Isaac Makwala. It was won by the World and Olympic | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
champion South Africa's Wayde van Beside the empty lane of his | :23:49. | :24:00. | |
stricken Challenger, the champion. Wayde van Niekerk is a 400 metres | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
phenomenon and in the absence of Isaac Makwala com his closest rival, | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
surely this would be a stroll? After all, he smashed the world record at | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
last year's Olympics and the man tipped to replace Usain Bolt as the | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
sport's figurehead produced a suitably commanding display. He is | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
starting to look for the line, Wayde van Niekerk, the world champion | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
again. No record this time but he is chasing a double here, in the 200 | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
metres as well and on this evidence, he will take some stopping. For the | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
thousands of fans here, there has not been much British success to | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
cheer at these championships and denied their hopes rest on a 21 year | :24:39. | :24:42. | |

life. Watch him come charging through. Could he snatch a medal? | :24:52. | :25:00. | |
Langford is still coming. Oh! And agonising fourth by Emmy as the | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
Redwood 04 seconds, so close but what a run. -- by a mere 0.04 | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
seconds. Gutted, to be honest, hard being so close to the medals but I | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
have proved on the world stage, fourth in the world and I'm only 21, | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
so hopefully down the years to come, you will see me taking over from Mo | :25:20. | :25:24. | |

women's 200 metres, fifth at last year's Olympics but first in her | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
heat, even the mascot seemed impressed. British captain Ailey | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
Doyle is through to the hurdles final, albeit only just, finishing | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
third in her semifinal. As for so many of her team, these | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
championships are proving hard work. Andy Swiss, BBC News, the London | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
Stadium. And Dan Roan is in the stadium. | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
Another rather difficult stay in London. That's right, no shortage of | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
controversy, this dispute between Isaac Makwala and the Botswana team | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
and the IAAF, the sport's governing body, is looking increasingly bitter | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
and increasingly unseemly and embarrassing as well. There will be | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
questions over whether it could have been handled somewhat differently. | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
It's not the organisers' fault there's been an outbreak of illness, | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
it is one of the hazards of staging big, global sports events but only | :26:19. | :26:29. | |
in the last few minutes have the IAAF released a statement confirming | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
this confusing situation, saying they are sorry about Isaac Makwala's | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
bait but they have no choice but to prevent him from running because | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
they have to look after the best interest of the other athletes and | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
contain the illness but it has denied the championships is one of | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
the most eagerly anticipated duels between the newly crowned 400 metres | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
champion, Wayde van Niekerk, and Isaac Makwala. When you consider the | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
other controversy we have already seen, Justin Gatlin raining on Usain | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
Bolt's parade, other high profile injury withdrawals like Greg | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
Rutherford and David Rudisha, as I say, the championships have not been | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
without talking points. On the other hand, halfway through, there is a | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
fantastic atmosphere in the stadium and record ticket sales. It has done | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
very well in terms of TV figures and the security and logistics have all | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
gone to plan. One of the other disappointments perhaps is British | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
fortunes. Just one medal after five days of action and people will | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
perhaps start to wonder where the next medal is coming from even | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
though Mo Farah is going at the weekend again. On top of that, the | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
organisers have to think about how to contain this outbreak of illness. | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
