Cooper Mrs Outside Source. Let's look through some of the main story

:00:13.:00:19.

is here in the BBC newsroom. The water at some Olympic venues is

:00:20.:00:24.

still filthy according to the Associated Press. Cleaning up the

:00:25.:00:28.

water was one of the key promises the government made. The Merit of

:00:29.:00:31.

Rio de Janeiro said claims are exaggerated. We have reports saying

:00:32.:00:38.

beaches have bacteria that kills you. All the population would be

:00:39.:00:45.

dead by now if it was true. Senior Republican figures in the United

:00:46.:00:48.

States are distancing himself from comments by Donald Trump about the

:00:49.:00:52.

Prince of the Muslim soldier who died serving in the American

:00:53.:00:56.

military. We will get the latest from Syria. A Russian military

:00:57.:00:59.

helicopter has been shut down and killing all five people on board.

:01:00.:01:04.

Moscow says it was on a humanitarian mission. Coming up in Outside Source

:01:05.:01:09.

sport, we have an inside look at the preparations for the opening

:01:10.:01:12.

ceremony at the real Olympics. It is just four days away.

:01:13.:01:27.

You are very welcome to the programme. If you are just tuning

:01:28.:01:35.

in, Russia says one of its military helicopters and Syria has been shut

:01:36.:01:37.

down killing of five people on board. It happened in the idyll of

:01:38.:01:43.

the province. The Russian Defence Ministry has said the helicopter was

:01:44.:01:48.

brought down here in town you can see here on the map. It was

:01:49.:01:53.

delivering aid to the city of Aleppo. Which is under siege. It was

:01:54.:02:04.

travelling to a Russian airbase. Helicopter was carrying three crew

:02:05.:02:09.

and two officers. Russian identity documents can be seen in parts of

:02:10.:02:16.

this video. I spoke to our reporter in Beirut about the situation in

:02:17.:02:25.

Syria and the Russian helicopter. Russia said this helicopter was

:02:26.:02:29.

delivering humanitarian aid to the city of Aleppo. When it was

:02:30.:02:35.

returning to an airbase in Syria it was shot down over the glib

:02:36.:02:40.

province. It is toward the South West of Aleppo. No group has claimed

:02:41.:02:46.

responsibility for this attack in which all five people on board have

:02:47.:02:52.

been killed. Russia has said that the attack came from an area

:02:53.:03:02.

dominated by eight group fighting against the Syrian regime. The group

:03:03.:03:07.

was affiliated to Al-Qaeda but it put things to Al-Qaeda last week. We

:03:08.:03:12.

know that this is one of the groups involved in the massive rebel

:03:13.:03:15.

offensive that has been launched in the city of Aleppo. Stay with us

:03:16.:03:22.

because we want to get into more details about this. The Russian

:03:23.:03:26.

Defence Ministry said the helicopter was delivering aid. The Syrian army

:03:27.:03:31.

confirmed that rebels have launched an offensive on

:03:32.:03:34.

government-controlled areas trying to break a month long siege. The UN

:03:35.:03:40.

estimates some 300,000 people are trapped in the city with dwindling

:03:41.:03:46.

food and medical supplies. I want to bring you a British surgeon who has

:03:47.:03:51.

worked in Syria and has been unable to make contact with other medics

:03:52.:03:57.

working there. I am in contact with people most days really. I have not

:03:58.:04:01.

heard from my colleagues in Syria for about a week now. I cannot get

:04:02.:04:07.

through to their phones. The only contact I have had our through the

:04:08.:04:14.

union of Syrian medical charities. They have, back to me yesterday and

:04:15.:04:22.

I spoke to the chairman and into the back nine hospitals were targeted

:04:23.:04:29.

last week alone. He is talking about the situation there. What about

:04:30.:04:35.

these exit corridors? They are in the besieged city of Aleppo. Are

:04:36.:04:41.

people using them to leave? On Friday and Saturday Russia said that

:04:42.:04:47.

more than 160 civilians and 69 rebel fighters did use humanitarian

:04:48.:04:49.

corridors to get out of the rebel held parts of the city. There was

:04:50.:04:54.

footage and Syrian television showing civilians, mostly women and

:04:55.:04:58.

children, they were walking down a street under the watch of government

:04:59.:05:02.

troops and state television said these people were coming out of the

:05:03.:05:05.

rebel controlled parts. Opposition activists have denied these claims

:05:06.:05:11.

and said it is all a lie and now one has left these parts. These are

:05:12.:05:15.

corridors that the UN had welcomed but they also said that it should be

:05:16.:05:22.

allowed to manage these passages because its staff have expertise and

:05:23.:05:25.

experience in dealing with such situations. The Syrian government

:05:26.:05:29.

said all supply lines to the rebel held parts of the city had been cut

:05:30.:05:35.

off and supplies. The UN said supplies would only last for three

:05:36.:05:43.

weeks. Thank you very much. Time now for Outside Source sport. What about

:05:44.:05:48.

the Olympic Games today. A lot we don't know. We are not sure how many

:05:49.:05:52.

Russian athletes will take part in the Rio Olympics. That is after

:05:53.:05:57.

evidence of a state Robert Aubin programme. The International Olympic

:05:58.:06:00.

Committee decided to leave the decision on who to ban to each sport

:06:01.:06:04.

Federation. They have now set up a panel of three members who have the

:06:05.:06:08.

final say is that I have an update for you that has been coming in from

:06:09.:06:13.

Reuters. They are reporting that the sports minister in Russia is saying

:06:14.:06:20.

there decisions should be made by Tuesday. How is all of this being

:06:21.:06:25.

covered in Russia? Are Moscow correspondent has been taking a look

:06:26.:06:32.

at the paper there for us. One paper calls this panel the emergency

:06:33.:06:37.

troika. Troika was the name given to the Court of three judges during the

:06:38.:06:42.

Stalin terror. The court said so many people to their death. The

:06:43.:06:50.

paper says the IOC troika smells of 1937. That was the height of the

:06:51.:06:55.

great Terror. The paper says we hope that this troika will not execute

:06:56.:06:59.

anyone and simply confirm the decisions of the various

:07:00.:07:03.

international sporting federations which have already decided which

:07:04.:07:07.

Russian sportsmen to allow Sittingbourne in the games. Sport

:07:08.:07:12.

express, its headline, to bring the show continues. The IOC has put up a

:07:13.:07:17.

new commission to check Russia. Some interesting figures here. The paper

:07:18.:07:23.

says that so far 264 Russian sportsmen have been allowed to take

:07:24.:07:26.

part in the summer games which is 172 fewer than during the London

:07:27.:07:32.

games four years ago. Another sports paper has a list of all the sports

:07:33.:07:36.

people who are being allowed to take part in the games. The jokes section

:07:37.:07:45.

here. The paper says there will now be mega doping controls were Russian

:07:46.:07:49.

sportsmen. For example, in the 100 metres they will be stubborn Russian

:07:50.:07:52.

sportsmen every ten metres for a you're in sample. Thank you very

:07:53.:08:00.

much. Just a few days to go until the Olympic Games opening ceremony.

:08:01.:08:04.

Final preparations are being made. Our resident correspondent was

:08:05.:08:07.

allowed into the stadium and was given a tour backstage. The

:08:08.:08:12.

attention of the whole world will be here on the opening night of the

:08:13.:08:15.

Olympics with the huge ceremony planned here in this stadium. What

:08:16.:08:20.

will happen is being kept secret but we have been granted for a sneak

:08:21.:08:26.

peek of the preparations. Around 5000 volunteers will take part in

:08:27.:08:30.

the ceremony. That will showcase Brazilian culture for the world to

:08:31.:08:36.

see. The opening ceremony is the moment when everyone realises we are

:08:37.:08:40.

on and there is a lot of emotion, participation and I think here in

:08:41.:08:43.

Brazil that would be something special. We hope we can turn this

:08:44.:08:51.

negative view and start the games with a spectacle. We are beneath the

:08:52.:08:58.

stands and this is where an office was set up for the 500 people

:08:59.:09:02.

working to make this happen. They are planning the ceremonies for the

:09:03.:09:08.

Olympics and Paralympics. Each row covers different specialty from

:09:09.:09:13.

talent casting to pyrotechnics. This isn't the costume shop where they

:09:14.:09:17.

are producing the different outfits for the opening ceremony. It is a

:09:18.:09:22.

huge operation. More than 5000 costumes need to be produced and

:09:23.:09:24.

everyone is busy working day and night. Brazil wants to portray its

:09:25.:09:33.

diversity through these designs, being carefully crafted by more than

:09:34.:09:39.

60 people. We are making something modern and something cool. It is

:09:40.:09:43.

something that would be good to see and everybody will, I guess, be

:09:44.:09:51.

proud to have this show as the opening ceremony. I don't know if I

:09:52.:09:57.

will cry or what. I am emotional about these things. It will be

:09:58.:10:03.

amazing to watch the ceremony. When the QE is giving it is showtime.

:10:04.:10:08.

After the storm of bad news in Brazil in the run-up to the games,

:10:09.:10:11.

this might be the moment to turn the tide. We will see the real deal in a

:10:12.:10:21.

feud is. Not in a slightly less scrolling operation being set up 800

:10:22.:10:26.

metres from the stadium. It is the BBC broadcast position. Hello.

:10:27.:10:39.

Welcome to Rio. I just want to show you a little bit of what we will be

:10:40.:10:43.

living in for the next few weeks. Our broadcast position for BBC world

:10:44.:10:47.

News. We are sharing the position with other journalists. We welcomed

:10:48.:10:51.

into our shared working space. We have Wi-Fi. It is connected.

:10:52.:10:57.

Everyone is busy working hard. This is where the magic happens. The

:10:58.:11:04.

reason we can be on error is because of what is happening in this room.

:11:05.:11:10.

Come and take a look. Hello guys. We have Andy and John. How are you?

:11:11.:11:16.

Doing well. They have been setting this up. We have our vision mixer

:11:17.:11:23.

which gives us all the video feeds. Our audio disc. The microphone. This

:11:24.:11:29.

makes sure we can get broadcasting to the world and back to London as

:11:30.:11:35.

well. How long did it take to put this up? It took three or four days.

:11:36.:11:45.

Lots of wires. We will take you to the other side. This is one of my

:11:46.:11:54.

favourite places. James, are producer. Roberto who has been

:11:55.:11:58.

amazing and our translator and fixer and Amanda. How is it going? Loving

:11:59.:12:09.

it. This is my favourite spot. This is what you will get used to seeing.

:12:10.:12:15.

I will be standing over here. We have our cameras and lighting

:12:16.:12:19.

equipment. We have two camera people. One is Paul, he is here.

:12:20.:12:30.

Also John. It is hard to do. It is hard because the sun is beaming

:12:31.:12:35.

down. This is my favourite thing is because of this. Take a look. A

:12:36.:12:42.

whole fantastic view of the Olympic Park and we cannot wait to start

:12:43.:12:52.

broadcasting. That is a little tour. Let's turn now to one of the top

:12:53.:12:57.

Indian athletes who has been acquitted of doping allegations. I

:12:58.:12:59.

will bring him appear. He is a wrestler. This is him in a blue

:13:00.:13:05.

T-shirt. He tested positive for a banned steroid but he said another

:13:06.:13:10.

athlete had deliberately contaminated his food. Indian

:13:11.:13:12.

officials said they would give him the benefit of the doubt. He is

:13:13.:13:18.

eligible to compete in Rio. In 80 minutes we will get the latest

:13:19.:13:22.

coming up from Turkey. The government there says it has

:13:23.:13:26.

captured several soldiers who are accused of trying to seize the

:13:27.:13:29.

president during the coup last month. More coming up in a moment.

:13:30.:13:40.

If you are diagnosed with cancer, your chances of surviving for at

:13:41.:13:44.

least a decade are twice as high as they were in the 1970s. According to

:13:45.:13:50.

a report there is a downside. Many survivors are now suffering

:13:51.:13:52.

long-term physical, mental and financial side effects. Health

:13:53.:13:58.

Correspondent brings us more. This is the website I need to help and

:13:59.:14:05.

inspire others. Greg has beaten cancer twice. As a child and then as

:14:06.:14:11.

an adult he saw off the illness. As his physical health recovered, what

:14:12.:14:14.

he did not anticipate with the psychological battles. It was

:14:15.:14:23.

surviving cancer, that is when I struggled psychologically. I was

:14:24.:14:28.

gripped by anxiety, fear that cancer might return for it hasn't really

:14:29.:14:33.

gone. I suffered with post-traumatic stress disorder. That turned out to

:14:34.:14:39.

be my worst experience with cancer. Our understanding of cancer has been

:14:40.:14:45.

transformed since the 1970s. Better diagnosis and more sophisticated

:14:46.:14:47.

drugs mean an increasing number of people are living with the disease.

:14:48.:14:53.

There are amazing differences with treatment 30 years ago. Not only

:14:54.:14:57.

differences in treatment of screening technologies have advanced

:14:58.:15:00.

so we are getting cancers at a very early stage and if they are caught

:15:01.:15:05.

early, for the most part, cancer survival is better than when caught

:15:06.:15:07.

early, for the most part, cancer survival is better than when, late.

:15:08.:15:10.

Cancer charities warned that surviving can present challenges.

:15:11.:15:15.

People are living longer but they are living with long-term

:15:16.:15:19.

consequences. Those people who are diagnosed in the 1970s and 80s,

:15:20.:15:24.

170,000 of them are surviving right now but they have financial issues,

:15:25.:15:29.

emotional issues, psychological issues and what that is painting a

:15:30.:15:32.

picture of is the fact that going forward the cancer story is

:15:33.:15:38.

changing. Some cancers, such as brain and lung, remit hard to spot

:15:39.:15:44.

and treat. Here in Manchester, one of the latest specialist cancer

:15:45.:15:48.

hospitals has seen real progress in how the disease is treated. There is

:15:49.:15:51.

an acknowledgement that some forms of the disease still pose big

:15:52.:15:56.

challenges. Greg is one of the growing number who have survived

:15:57.:16:01.

cancer. Experts warn that one of the disease is no longer necessarily

:16:02.:16:04.

life limiting it remains life changing.

:16:05.:16:18.

This is Outside Source, live from the BBC newsroom. Our lead story...

:16:19.:16:25.

A report from the Associated Press says the water at some Olympic

:16:26.:16:29.

venues in Rio is still filthy. That is despite years of promises from

:16:30.:16:36.

authorities to clean it up. Let's turn to Turkey. They say they have

:16:37.:16:41.

captured all but one of the soldiers accused of trying to seize the

:16:42.:16:44.

president during the failed coup. The arrests happened after a

:16:45.:16:52.

two-week manhunt. The president was on holiday at the resort but fled

:16:53.:16:57.

before his hotel was raided. Let's hear more from the BBC's Jonathan

:16:58.:17:03.

head. More than two weeks after the coup, the last of the renegade

:17:04.:17:07.

soldiers have been captured. These 11 men are accused of being part of

:17:08.:17:11.

the squad said the seas or kill President Erdogan. Tipped off at the

:17:12.:17:18.

last minute he narrowly evaded them. He has announced a sweeping overhaul

:17:19.:17:22.

of the Armed Forces. Placing them under civilian control for the first

:17:23.:17:25.

time in the history of modern Turkey. These measures will make our

:17:26.:17:31.

military much stronger, he promised. They were also inevitably make the

:17:32.:17:34.

Turkish president even more powerful. The government still want

:17:35.:17:43.

to uproot the influence of this man. A preacher who lives in the US and

:17:44.:17:48.

was once an ally of Mr Erdogan. He is blamed for instigating the coup.

:17:49.:17:53.

Thousands of his followers have been arrested or sacked. There are many

:17:54.:17:56.

more. Removing them all will be difficult. The full ramifications of

:17:57.:18:02.

a botched coup which killed more than 200 people, many listed at this

:18:03.:18:07.

memorial, and stunned a country that bleak things work no longer

:18:08.:18:12.

possible. No one knows how far President Erdogan will pursue his

:18:13.:18:16.

purge. The raw emotions that have been stirred up are badly straining

:18:17.:18:22.

to Turkey's relations with its western partners the President

:18:23.:18:24.

Erdogan believes should have given him more wholehearted support. A

:18:25.:18:31.

pro-government rally by Turks has provoked a spat with Germany. The

:18:32.:18:36.

German authorities would allow an address by Mr Erdogan to be

:18:37.:18:40.

broadcast to the crowd. Turkey has summoned a senior German diplomat

:18:41.:18:45.

here to complain. There will be friction with the US as well over

:18:46.:18:52.

request to extradite the cleric. He captured soldiers were cheered by

:18:53.:18:56.

government supporters as they were driven off into custody. The mood in

:18:57.:19:01.

Turkey is angry and fearful. Previous coups have left deep scars

:19:02.:19:05.

on this country. This one will be no different. Let's turn to the United

:19:06.:19:18.

States. DSS carried out air strikes in Libya, targeting the so-called

:19:19.:19:24.

Islamic State group in the city of search. Jihadists fighters seized

:19:25.:19:27.

control of the coastal city. Also, land to the east. Peter Cook said

:19:28.:19:33.

the raids were carried out following a request from within the country.

:19:34.:19:40.

Today, at the request of the Libyan government, United States carried

:19:41.:19:45.

out precision air strikes against targets in Libya to support forces

:19:46.:19:49.

seeking to defeat Islamic State in its premier stronghold in Libya.

:19:50.:19:54.

These strikes were authorised by the president following a recommendation

:19:55.:19:57.

from Secretary Carter. They are consistent with our approach of

:19:58.:20:00.

combating Islamic State by working with capable and motivated local

:20:01.:20:06.

partners. Libyan forces have had success capturing territory for

:20:07.:20:08.

Muslim state and additional US strikes will continue to target

:20:09.:20:13.

insurgents and enable the GNA to make a decisive strategic advance.

:20:14.:20:19.

Let's turn to Pokemon. The mobile scheme which mixes the real world

:20:20.:20:23.

with the computer world. The mixture is proving a hit with some artistic

:20:24.:20:27.

youngsters who have difficulties went out in public. This is the

:20:28.:20:30.

story of Jan and her son Adam. He has been engrossed and obsessed

:20:31.:20:50.

with games for the last five years. He lives and breathes it.

:20:51.:21:08.

Very good. He has gone from hardly giving the house other than to go to

:21:09.:21:15.

college into wanting to go out every night. He has found another one.

:21:16.:21:21.

When he first said he wanted to come out I thought we will see how it

:21:22.:21:26.

goes and three hours later we were still out. I thought, oh my God. You

:21:27.:21:40.

can involve it. He spent two years out of school because he was either

:21:41.:21:45.

going in and being sent home because he had a bad anxiety attack to the

:21:46.:21:49.

point he was doubled up on the floor in pain. Then he would spend days

:21:50.:21:55.

wrapped in a sleeping bag. Every time he tried to take out he would

:21:56.:22:05.

have an anxiety attack. This is Luke, Fiona, Sam, Daniel. Usually we

:22:06.:22:11.

wouldn't last two minutes. We would leave straightaway. He would feel

:22:12.:22:17.

sick and his stomach would hurt. Just being around people who work a

:22:18.:22:20.

bit noisy and talking loud. He couldn't cope. He stayed he waved.

:22:21.:22:31.

He nodded his head if you terms. That is brilliant for Adam.

:22:32.:22:47.

It has helped to reinstate our bond. I have spent so long being his

:22:48.:23:07.

carer. It is just nice. I have not seen him this relaxed and happy in a

:23:08.:23:13.

public place for so long. It really means a lot. You can see that he is

:23:14.:23:28.

happy, he is relaxed. He is smiling. He is not ticking. It is just so

:23:29.:23:35.

nice. It really is. It is like I have a bit of my son back. He has

:23:36.:23:48.

made more progress than we have seen in the last four years. It is small

:23:49.:23:57.

steps but what he has made has been immense for us as a family. It has

:23:58.:24:04.

made a huge difference to his quality of life which, currently,

:24:05.:24:08.

pre-Pokemon, it wasn't the greatest life he was living. Shut up in his

:24:09.:24:11.

bedroom, locking himself away from everyone. You could go there. If

:24:12.:24:23.

anyone told me six months ago that a simple game like this would get him

:24:24.:24:26.

out of the house I would have laughed at them and said no, not a

:24:27.:24:31.

chance. I never in a million years would have thought this would

:24:32.:24:34.

happen. For us, it is a huge celebration. Do you like being

:24:35.:24:41.

outside? Good. Are we coming out tomorrow night as well? Another one.

:24:42.:24:56.

That is a remarkable story. The transformative power of Pokemon go.

:24:57.:24:59.

Thank you for watching Outside
