With just five days to go before the Olympics, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
now a new body will decide which Russians can compete. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
As British athletes arrive in Rio, Olympics chiefs | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
defend their handling of the Moscow doping scandal. | :00:15. | :00:28. | |
We did our best to address the situation in a way that allows us to | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
protect all clean athletes all over the world. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
We'll be reporting from Rio, on the country's overrall | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
A 12-year-old boy has been arrested in Greater Manchester, | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Theresa May, pledges to fight modern slavery in Britain. | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
And it's four wins in a row for Lewis Hamilton, as he dominates | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
the German Grand Prix from start to finish. | :00:57. | :01:19. | |
The President of the International Olympic Committee, | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
says the credibility of the organisation hasn't been | :01:25. | :01:25. | |
damaged, over it's handling of the state-sponsored doping | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
The comments come after the IOC reversed a decision, | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
to allow the governing bodies of individual sports, | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
to decide which Russian competitors would be allowed to go to Rio. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Now a special review panel will make the final choice. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
All this just days to go before the opening ceremony in Brazil. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Our sports editor Dan Roan reports now from Rio de Janeiro. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
Russia's fencing squad may already be here in Rio, today collecting | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
their accreditation at the athlete's village but they do not know they | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
will be allowed to take part in the games. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
These are among 250 athletes cleared to take part amid the doping | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
scandal. The Olympic committee said they would have the final say. The | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
president remained defiant. How damaging to the credibility of the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
games is this chaos and confusion? I don't think this will be damaging | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
because people will realise we have to take this decision now. And | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
imagine the situation if we would not have taken a decision, then the | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
limbo would be. I trust the people that they realise the difficulties | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
we are in. Despite a damning report in Tuesday sponsor doping that | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
sabotaged events such as these such you Winter games, the IOC resisted | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
demands of a blanket ban of Russia's entire team. More than 100 athletes | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
have been banned under the new eligibility criteria, but now a | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
summer has appealed against the decision adding to the uncertainty. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
This is the Russian handball team, and despite the fact we're just five | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
days away now from the start of these Rio games, they are in limbo | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
like so many of their colleagues. They don't yet know if the IOC will | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
allow them to compete. Of course it is confusion. There is -- they don't | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
know if they can compete or not. Meanwhile, the British athletes are | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
continuing their training at Belo Horizonte it. It is not unsettling | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
for us. It is a shame the whole thing was not sorted out our lot | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
earlier before the games started. We strongly support the strongest | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
sanctions for athletes who are cheating. But now it is about | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
focusing on our games. These games have had a troubled build-up but the | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
IOC's handling of the crisis has ensured the controversy will | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
continue even once the action begins. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Well, it's not just the doping scandal that's dogging the Games, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
with the opening ceremony just five days away. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
Some in Rio believe the organisers have failed to honour commitments | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Our South America Correspondent Wyre Davies reports. | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
Rio is a city transformed, and Olympic organisers say it is now | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
ready for Friday's opening ceremony. Billions has been spent on | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
investment in new sports venues, museums and public transport. But | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
critics say it is money that has been diverted from other more | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
important priorities. We have 22% of the city's residents living in the | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Vals which have received no significant upgrades. -- the money | :04:58. | :05:07. | |
should have been directed to the residents. Few competitors will have | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
lost as much as this woman. She was bloodied in the battle to save her | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
home in a favela next to the Olympic Park. Dozens of houses were | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
bulldozed by the city, and intolerable eyesore for a global | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
mega event. There is nothing left, says Donna Maria, separated by a | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
fence from the Olympic car park where the homes of 600 families used | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
to be. They promised we could stay but are just a few of us left now. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Putting on this showpiece has almost bankrupted the local government. The | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
impact can be seen and smells everywhere. Cleaning up the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
chronically polluted waters is another key promise Rio made when it | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
was chosen to host the Olympic Games and it is very pledge which has not | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
been kept. This bay is full of solid waste, sewage and chemical | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
pollution. A commitment to treat the sewage entering this bay has long | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
been abandoned. The very waters where Olympic sailing events are | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
taking place. But officials say in other areas there has been real | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
progress. We spent less public money to do 20 venues than London has | :06:22. | :06:35. | |
spent to do one venue. There are things for the legacy of the city. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
These games will be unique because Rio is a unique city, rich and poor | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
living cheek by jowl, but not all reaping the same benefit from | :06:46. | :06:46. | |
hosting the games. A 12-year-old boy has been arrested | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
on suspicion of murder, Three teenage youths | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
are also being questioned, after a man in his 40's died | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
following an assault outside Police were called here to Ashton | :06:56. | :07:12. | |
town centre just before 11 o'clock on Wednesday evening, after reports | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
of an assault outside the McDonald's restaurant behind me. When they got | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
here, they found a man in his 40s lying in the street. He suffered | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
injuries to his head and stomach and later died in hospital. Yesterday, | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
police in Manchester arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
murder. Today, they arrested a 12-year-old boy alongside a | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
16-year-old and a 17-year-old. Police hope to identify the man | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
officially tomorrow. Here, cards left at the scene tell us he was a | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
father. People say they are thinking of him and he is in their thoughts. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Police continued to appeal for witnesses, anyone who has seen | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
anything at Ashton underline, to get in touch | :07:55. | :08:10. | |
with them as they continue with this murder investigation. Thank you. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Theresa May has pledged to tackle modern-day slavery. She called it a | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
modern-day evil. Behind closed doors, on our streets | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
and in the workplace, modern slavery But the new Prime Minister | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
is promising to do more to help. Theresa May led the government's | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
campaign to tackle slavery Now as Prime Minister she is keeping | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
it a personal focus. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
she said: "This is the great human rights issue of our time | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
and as Prime Minister I am determined that we will make it | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
a national and international mission to rid our world | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
of this barbaric evil." Police need to have a better | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
understanding of what is going on in relation to modern slavery | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
and what their responsibilities This is an issue that needs to be | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
dealt with in much broader terms, in terms of both national | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
immigration policy, our national crime policy, but also international | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
trade and development policies. Now ?33 million will be spent | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
in countries like Nigeria to help tackle the roots | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
of the people trafficking trade. The government has ordered an | :09:19. | :09:43. | |
investigation into how police forces in England and Wales deal with the | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
crime. But it warns against cuts | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
to the Border Force and local authorities if the Prime Minister | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
is serious about tackling the crime. More than 100 Muslims joined | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Roman Catholics for a service The gesture of solidarity comes five | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
days after the murder of a local was killed while celebrating mass | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
in his church by two men who had pledged allegiance to the so-called | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
Islamic State group. The former owner of BHS, Sir Philip | :10:11. | :10:26. | |
Green, could be asked to appear again before MPs. It comes as Frank | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
Field who chaired a cross-party investigation, told the BBC he will | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
meet the pensions regulator to discuss the Philip's claims about | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
filling the shortfall in the pensions fund. | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
Senate Democrats have called for Congress to end its recess | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
and immediately approve emergency funds for combating | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
The calls come after Florida reported its first cases | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
Here, Public Health England has advised pregnant women to consider | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
postponing non-essential travel to Florida and also | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
suggested the 50,000 British holidaymakers currently in Florida | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
It was always a question of when, not if, and now Zika has arrived on | :11:09. | :11:19. | |
mainland USA. Health officials are going from house to house in | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
downtown Miami, taking samples and warning people about how to avoid | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
being bitten. The main concern is for pregnant women because of the | :11:29. | :11:38. | |
danger of brain damage. We are going door-to-door to point out that this | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
is happening in this area. When I was in Puerto Rico earlier this | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
year, there has been a huge flare-up in cases, health officials said the | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
US mainland would see local infections and they would probably | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
start in Florida. They have so far been more than 1600 cases of Zika on | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
mainland US, but almost all those people were infected abroad. There | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
have been a handful of sexually transmitted cases as well. A | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
significant number of those had travelled back to Florida, with more | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
than 300 travel associated cases there. These warmer southern states | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
are most at risk of seeing locally transmitted cases, because the | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
mosquito which spreads the car already lives here. Investigations | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
into how Zika arrived in Florida is underway, but it is likely to come | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
in with a traveller who returned to the state from an area badly hit by | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
the virus. A bloodsucking mosquito like one of these, probably infected | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
a person or a few people, and they brought it back with them. Then they | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
were bitten by a local mosquito in Florida, and that creature managed | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
to start spreading the virus locally. US health officials don't | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
expect widespread cases in mainland US, but the advice for British | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
people heading for the Sunshine State is to take precautions to | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
avoid being bitten white mosquitoes. Read the women are advised to | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
consider postponing their travel plans. -- pregnant women. | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
A lynx that escaped from Dartmoor Zoo in Devon | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
more than three weeks ago, has been captured. | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
The police had warned that the cat, named Flaviu, | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
He'd walked into a humane trap, and is now back at the zoo. | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
And with all the sport now, here is Lizzie Greenwood Hughes at the BBC | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
sports centre. Lewis Hamilton dominated the German | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
Grand Prix to win his fourth consecutive race and move 19 points | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
clear at the top of In recent weeks, Nico Rosberg has | :13:40. | :13:49. | |
seen the drivers Championship turn on its head. His Mercedes team-mate | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Lewis Hamilton had overtaken him in the standings, but here he was an | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
old with a chance to reclaim the lead. In Formula 1, the start is | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
all-important. Rosberg's was a disaster. Bogged down, when he | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
emerged from the first corner, he slipped back to fourth. Already, | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
this was Hamilton's race to lose. He was at the front and when Rosberg | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
tried to regain ground he was penalised for forcing max Verstappen | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
off the track. Hamilton kept his cool, bruising around the Hockenheim | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
circuit to finish ahead of the Red Bulls of Ben Ricardo and Max | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
Verstappen. -- Daniel Ricardo. Hamilton is now running away from | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
his rival and with four weeks until the next race, it is clear who will | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
enjoy the race the most. Thailand's Arriya Jutanugarn held-on | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
to win The overnight leader | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
survived a patchy final round to take her first major title by two | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
shots, finishing on 16 Scotland's Catriona Matthew, | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
the last British woman to win a major, finished | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
joint 5th on 9 under. Over at the USPGA, the last | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
men's major of the year, they're still playing catch up | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
after bad weather in Baltusrol Leader Jimmy Walker is one of many | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
having to play 36 holes today. The American will tee off his final | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
round on 11 under par, a shot clear of defending | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
champion Jason Day. Carl Frampton is being hailed as one | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
of Northern Ireland's greatest ever The 29-year-old beat | :15:24. | :15:26. | |

becoming the first Northern Irishman to win world titles | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
in different weight categories. I'm in the driving seat now. I can | :15:37. | :15:47. | |
get the money fights which will change my life, my family's life. | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
I'm looking forward to the future and it is still going. I am | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
approaching 30 that I feel like I am getting better. I feel like I have a | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
new lease of life and there is plenty more to come. | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
The Ride London Surrey Classic was won by Belgium's Tom Boonen | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
after a dramatic sprint finish in the Mall. | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
Welshman Geraint Thomas had looked like taking the title before heading | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
off to the Rio Olympics - after leading for most of the 200km | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
race but he was caught by the peloton in the final stages | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
Tens of thousands of amateur riders also took part in the event | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
Two cyclists had to be air-lifted to hospital. | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
An American skydiver has entered the record books, | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
by jumping from a plane at 25,000 feet, without a parachute. | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
Luke Akins was free falling for two minutes as he zeroed in on | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
a giant safety net suspended 20 storeys off the ground. | :16:49. | :16:54. | |

safely, later saying that was "awesome." | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
