:01:28. > :01:33.The comments come after the IOC reversed a decision,

:01:37. > :01:39.to decide which Russian competitors would be allowed to go to Rio.
:01:40. > :01:43.Now a special review panel will make the final choice.

:01:56. > :02:01.Russia's fencing squad may already be here in Rio, today collecting
:02:02. > :02:05.their accreditation at the athlete's village but they do not know they
:02:06. > :02:09.will be allowed to take part in the games.
:02:10. > :02:16.These are among 250 athletes cleared to take part amid the doping
:02:17. > :02:22.scandal. The Olympic committee said they would have the final say. The
:02:23. > :02:27.president remained defiant. How damaging to the credibility of the
:02:28. > :02:31.games is this chaos and confusion? I don't think this will be damaging
:02:32. > :02:37.because people will realise we have to take this decision now. And
:02:38. > :02:43.imagine the situation if we would not have taken a decision, then the
:02:44. > :02:53.limbo would be. I trust the people that they realise the difficulties
:02:54. > :02:57.we are in. Despite a damning report in Tuesday sponsor doping that
:02:58. > :03:01.sabotaged events such as these such you Winter games, the IOC resisted
:03:02. > :03:09.demands of a blanket ban of Russia's entire team. More than 100 athletes
:03:10. > :03:13.have been banned under the new eligibility criteria, but now a
:03:14. > :03:18.summer has appealed against the decision adding to the uncertainty.
:03:19. > :03:22.This is the Russian handball team, and despite the fact we're just five
:03:23. > :03:24.days away now from the start of these Rio games, they are in limbo
:03:25. > :03:34.like so many of their colleagues. They don't yet know if the IOC will
:03:35. > :03:44.allow them to compete. Of course it is confusion. There is -- they don't
:03:45. > :03:47.know if they can compete or not. Meanwhile, the British athletes are
:03:48. > :03:53.continuing their training at Belo Horizonte it. It is not unsettling
:03:54. > :03:57.for us. It is a shame the whole thing was not sorted out our lot
:03:58. > :04:00.earlier before the games started. We strongly support the strongest
:04:01. > :04:05.sanctions for athletes who are cheating. But now it is about
:04:06. > :04:10.focusing on our games. These games have had a troubled build-up but the
:04:11. > :04:12.IOC's handling of the crisis has ensured the controversy will
:04:13. > :04:15.continue even once the action begins.
:04:16. > :04:17.Well, it's not just the doping scandal that's dogging the Games,
:04:18. > :04:19.with the opening ceremony just five days away.
:04:20. > :04:22.Some in Rio believe the organisers have failed to honour commitments

:04:32. > :04:38.Rio is a city transformed, and Olympic organisers say it is now
:04:39. > :04:43.ready for Friday's opening ceremony. Billions has been spent on
:04:44. > :04:46.investment in new sports venues, museums and public transport. But
:04:47. > :04:52.critics say it is money that has been diverted from other more
:04:53. > :04:57.important priorities. We have 22% of the city's residents living in the
:04:58. > :05:07.Vals which have received no significant upgrades. -- the money
:05:08. > :05:15.should have been directed to the residents. Few competitors will have
:05:16. > :05:20.lost as much as this woman. She was bloodied in the battle to save her
:05:21. > :05:25.home in a favela next to the Olympic Park. Dozens of houses were
:05:26. > :05:31.bulldozed by the city, and intolerable eyesore for a global
:05:32. > :05:34.mega event. There is nothing left, says Donna Maria, separated by a
:05:35. > :05:39.fence from the Olympic car park where the homes of 600 families used
:05:40. > :05:44.to be. They promised we could stay but are just a few of us left now.
:05:45. > :05:49.Putting on this showpiece has almost bankrupted the local government. The
:05:50. > :05:54.impact can be seen and smells everywhere. Cleaning up the
:05:55. > :05:58.chronically polluted waters is another key promise Rio made when it
:05:59. > :06:03.was chosen to host the Olympic Games and it is very pledge which has not
:06:04. > :06:07.been kept. This bay is full of solid waste, sewage and chemical
:06:08. > :06:11.pollution. A commitment to treat the sewage entering this bay has long
:06:12. > :06:15.been abandoned. The very waters where Olympic sailing events are
:06:16. > :06:21.taking place. But officials say in other areas there has been real
:06:22. > :06:35.progress. We spent less public money to do 20 venues than London has
:06:36. > :06:40.spent to do one venue. There are things for the legacy of the city.
:06:41. > :06:45.These games will be unique because Rio is a unique city, rich and poor
:06:46. > :06:46.living cheek by jowl, but not all reaping the same benefit from
:06:47. > :06:49.hosting the games. A 12-year-old boy has been arrested
:06:50. > :06:51.on suspicion of murder, Three teenage youths

:06:56. > :07:12.following an assault outside Police were called here to Ashton
:07:13. > :07:16.town centre just before 11 o'clock on Wednesday evening, after reports
:07:17. > :07:20.of an assault outside the McDonald's restaurant behind me. When they got
:07:21. > :07:25.here, they found a man in his 40s lying in the street. He suffered
:07:26. > :07:29.injuries to his head and stomach and later died in hospital. Yesterday,
:07:30. > :07:34.police in Manchester arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of

:07:38. > :07:41.16-year-old and a 17-year-old. Police hope to identify the man
:07:42. > :07:46.officially tomorrow. Here, cards left at the scene tell us he was a
:07:47. > :07:52.father. People say they are thinking of him and he is in their thoughts.

:08:57. > :08:58.and what their responsibilities This is an issue that needs to be

:11:52. > :11:55.US mainland would see local infections and they would probably
:11:56. > :12:02.start in Florida. They have so far been more than 1600 cases of Zika on
:12:03. > :12:05.mainland US, but almost all those people were infected abroad. There
:12:06. > :12:10.have been a handful of sexually transmitted cases as well. A
:12:11. > :12:15.significant number of those had travelled back to Florida, with more
:12:16. > :12:21.than 300 travel associated cases there. These warmer southern states
:12:22. > :12:23.are most at risk of seeing locally transmitted cases, because the
:12:24. > :12:28.mosquito which spreads the car already lives here. Investigations
:12:29. > :12:33.into how Zika arrived in Florida is underway, but it is likely to come
:12:34. > :12:38.in with a traveller who returned to the state from an area badly hit by
:12:39. > :12:43.the virus. A bloodsucking mosquito like one of these, probably infected
:12:44. > :12:48.a person or a few people, and they brought it back with them. Then they
:12:49. > :12:51.were bitten by a local mosquito in Florida, and that creature managed
:12:52. > :12:56.to start spreading the virus locally. US health officials don't
:12:57. > :13:00.expect widespread cases in mainland US, but the advice for British

:14:08. > :14:12.emerged from the first corner, he slipped back to fourth. Already,
:14:13. > :14:18.this was Hamilton's race to lose. He was at the front and when Rosberg
