Russian state organised doping, which has brought its much success

in recent years, has been exposed. But with just 12 days until the

start of the reopening the IOC today resisted calls for a blanket ban on

its team. -- Rio Olympics. No Russian athlete can compete unless

he or she needs some very strict criteria. The International sports

federations will carry out an individual analysis of each

athlete's anti-doping record, taking into account only reliable

international tests. Russia wanted to send a 386 strong team to Rio,

but that number has already been reduced by 68 following a failed

appeal against an existing ban on its track and field team. Now 27

remaining sports federations must now decide which Russians can go but

they are facing a race against time. Despite outward appearances, Russian

ministers are tonight breathing a sigh of relief. Just Atlantic the

correct decision was taken by respecting the rights of individual

sportsmen who cannot be blamed collectively. We take the

investigation very seriously and we are waiting to work very closely

with the IOC. With the Olympics looming, given the weight of

evidence against Russia, many feel that this has damaged people's trust

in Russia and the Olympics. I think they have affected the Olympic

movement. I worry about the future of clean sport. I worry about the

future of clean athletes the Olympic Games. The IOC has also decided that

the whistle-blower cannot go to Rio even as a neutral. Having failed

what it calls ethical criteria. In central London today before the IOC

made its announcement British athletes celebrated their Rio

selection while insisting the Olympics must be free of cheats. Mo

Farah may be preparing to leave for Brazil in his quest for double

Olympic glory. But the row about Russia's participation is going to

overshadow the start of the games. You feel sorry for the clean

athletes who are a part of it, but at the same time it is the whole

country. We will let the right authority deal with it. But at the

same time concentrate on what we are doing and do the right thing. With

days to go until the Olympics gets underway this should be a times

excitement anticipation. If the decision leaves many Russian

competitors in limbo and an Olympic movement in crisis. -- but the

decision. Sarah Rainsford joins

us from Moscow. It is a nervous wait now for scores

of Russian athletes to see if they will be going to Rio.

It is a very nervous wait for the athletes. Overall for Russia this is

a very relieved country. Bear in mind Rush is the kind of country

that sees itself as a sporting superpower. -- Russia is the kind.

An all-out ban from Rio would have been humiliating for Russia. Now

that the worst outcome has been avoided there is a positive reaction

here, as you might expect. We have heard from the sports minister. He

says he think the vast majority of Russian athletes will qualify for

Rio. Please also heard from the International tennis Federation.

They say that the tennis team look like they meet the criteria. -- we

also heard. Russia still maintain that there is no state-sponsored

doping programme. We have heard of the kind of talk of a conspiracy

from the West. There are athletes who say they are honest and that

they now have the chance to make it to the Olympics.

Thanks very much. Investigators in Germany say

the teenager who shot dead nine people in Munich on Friday,

before killing himself, had been planning the attack for

more than a year. Officials believe David Sonboly

who was 18, bought a handgun illegally online, and chose his

victims at random. Chris Buckler is in

Munich for us tonight. Over to you, Chris.

Many, many people continue to come here to the shopping centre where

the shooting took place to lay tributes. They all have one

question, why? It is not yet clear what led David Sonboly to do this.

Certainly he has mental health problems. There are suggestions he

may have been bullied and he had a dark interest in school shootings.

His parents are still too upset to talk after his death. But before he

killed himself he killed nine others, and that means nine other

families are grieving. The fear and even shock is starting to be felt in

Munich. But the grief is still obvious in this street where people

were indiscriminately shot dead. Fourth umpire is also an

understandable sense of relief. -- for others it is also.

TRANSLATION: I heard the sirens and the shooting. I knew that my sister

was here. I didn't know what was going on. She wanted to take the

subway to get here and I had no idea if she was around or not. The images

of the attack show a teenager targeting other teenagers. It is

clear that David Sonboly has mental health problems and detectives are

believed to have found information about mass shootings when they

searched the flat in which he lived with his parents. Neighbours say he

was quiet, a loner, but they never imagined he could be a killer. How

did he get this way. This is the main problem. Young boy with a gun.

-- how did he get this done. There have been called in Germany for

tighter controls on the sale of weapons. But this country already

has radically strict gun laws. And that legislation has been tightened

in the last ten to 15 years as a result of two school shootings. Much

of the investigation will focus on how an 18-year-old living here

managed to get access to a gun. There has been some speculation that

he may have bought it off someone on the Internet.

TRANSLATION: There is a chat log on the dark net which indicate he got

the weapon from the dark net. But we're only at the beginning of our

investigation. The police believe this attack had been planned for a

year. For the families of the victims, they could have never been

prepared for the loss they now feel. A man and a woman have been

arrested, following the death of a five-year-old boy

while visiting a water The youngster's body was discovered

at Bosworth Water Park Hundreds of people had been drawn

to Bosworth Water Park yesterday by warm weather at the start

of the school holidays. During the afternoon,

a child searching for his goggles in this pool found a little

boy unconscious under the water. He has been named locally

as five-year-old Charlie Dunn. Eye witnesses have described

seeing him pulled from water. We seen this little boy,

body on the floor, with men The park remains open

as normal today, while Police have asked people not

to speculate about the incident, or the circumstances

surrounding the death. The owner of the park says

he sends his deepest sympathies to anyone affected by this tragic

loss of life. Police have arrested a man

and a woman and are asking witnesses to come forward with any information

that could help their investigation. On one of the busiest

weekends of the year, motorists heading to France

via Dover, have been facing long delays, because of heightened

security checks across the Channel, in the wake of the Nice terror

attack. British border agents are now

helping French officials deal with the tailbacks,

but police say the disruption As Ben Ando reports the disruption

was so bad overnight, some people had to sleep

in their cars. The famous cliffs and

the infamous queues. Right at the start of the school

holidays, this is traditionally For these motorists, the waiting

is nearly over as they crawl Under the Le Touquet accord,

this is the French border. Stiffer security checks

here are the reason everything This morning, more booths

were opened in an effort For thirsty travellers,

this is a police stop This is the end of the queue

on the A20, where the police have closed one carriageway so they can

patrol up and down, handing out water to motorists who may have been

waiting for many hours. Yes, it is nice that we get water,

but we wait so long, one and a half hours,

and we want to drive home. We haven't been offered

any water until now I think we could have done

with it back there a bit. They were talking about 12 hours,

but it has only been They have limited food and water,

which is why we have been supplying as much water as we possibly can

on a regular basis to people. It's really uncomfortable, which is,

again, why you notice how positive people are about the situation

they are in, the good old spirit of just sucking it up and getting

on with it. Traffic today has

moved more quickly. Overnight, some people

were stationary for up to ten hours There is a family behind me that

are asleep in the car. The guy opposite, he has got out,

stretched his legs and he has gone This evening, drivers

are still being urged to expect delays, but also being reassured

that, even if they are subjected to a hold-up, they will eventually

get to set sail. The Chancellor Philip Hammond,

has begun discussions with Chinese officials on an ambitious free trade

deal, which could see greater access for Chinese banks and businesses to

the UK economy. He told the BBC that

reports. Stormy skies and pelting rain

as global financial leaders met for the first time

through the puddles to announce Could he even see a free-trade deal

from the Europeans of I don't think they are

in punishment mode. This is a meeting of finance

ministers and central bank governors, as you would expect,

they are very much focused on the economic challenges

and the economic prizes available. A loving new partnership,

even the French, often seen as the most negative on Le Brexit,

had warm words. TRANSLATION:

unlikely to be the end of it. In the last few minutes

cyclist Chris Froome has His coronation is complete. Chris

Froome has blown his rivals out of the water in this Tour de France,

taking the yellow jersey earlier today, never looking like he was

going to give it up. In a race that has twisted one way and another

there has been a constant, Chris Froome. He hasn't survived this

year's race he has dominated, becoming champion for the third time

in years. He is looking and saying that he wants to do this time and

time again. He is an incredible bike rider, he really years, and it is so

impressive what he has done. A huge factor in his success has been his

team who have kept him in a protective cocoon, helping him

through the crashes of the broken bikes, each rider supporting one.

There was extra security ahead of that additional procession through

Paris. This was just a pipe dream, following the likes of the French,

Dutch, Italians of the past, but we are now dominating. It has been --

he has been making it really easily. The Kenyan born British rider has

proved to be a warrior on the roads. Once again he has conquered

everything the world's biggest bike race has thrown at him. And Adam

Yates took the white jersey for the best young rider. A hope for the

future. Given how dominant Chris Froome has been, taking that the

yellow jersey away from him will take some doing.

Thanks very much. -- taking the yellow
