:00:21. > :00:23.President Obama has said Donald Trump is unfit to be president and
:00:24. > :00:29.has called upon Republican politicians not to endorse him. I
:00:30. > :00:34.think that the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president. I said
:00:35. > :00:41.so last week, and he keeps improving it. In France the funeral has taken
:00:42. > :00:45.place of the priest killed by sympathisers of so-called Islamic
:00:46. > :00:49.State. In and we will get the latest from Syria, reports of a toxic gas
:00:50. > :00:55.being dropped on a town close to where a Russian helicopter was shot
:00:56. > :00:59.yesterday. And in Outside Source Sport we will take a look back at
:01:00. > :01:17.one of the stars of the 1948 Olympics.
:01:18. > :01:22.We're getting reports of toxic gas being dropped on a town in Syria
:01:23. > :01:26.near where a Russian military helicopter was shot down by rebels
:01:27. > :01:32.on Monday. The video has emerged apparently showing the aftermath of
:01:33. > :01:36.the attack. A quick update for you, in the past couple of hours, the US
:01:37. > :01:39.State Department has said that looking into the reports and if they
:01:40. > :01:53.are true it would be extremely serious. We have more details on
:01:54. > :01:57.this. Idlib is a silly province close to the border with Turkey. It
:01:58. > :02:01.has seen increasing attacks in the last few days. These people treated
:02:02. > :02:11.at the local hospital after inhaling toxic smoke. The video is filmed by
:02:12. > :02:16.staff in the town of Saraqeb Facey toxic gas was dropped a few nights
:02:17. > :02:20.ago. Dozens of people have been treated. The town is close to the
:02:21. > :02:24.area where a Russian military helicopter went down a day earlier.
:02:25. > :02:28.No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. In
:02:29. > :02:33.Aleppo another day of violence. These streets in the eastern part of
:02:34. > :02:38.the city, held by rebel groups. It has been under siege by government
:02:39. > :02:43.led forces. Rebel fighters launched a major offensive Sunday night to
:02:44. > :02:49.break the siege, and the battle has continued. Rebel groups say they are
:02:50. > :02:53.making quick progress. The Syrian military has released this video and
:02:54. > :02:58.says its forces have been fighting back. The government has denied
:02:59. > :03:04.rebel claims that areas controlled by it have been taken over by the
:03:05. > :03:11.opposition. This town was held by so-called Islamic State. But a major
:03:12. > :03:18.operation has been under way by US backed coalition to take control of
:03:19. > :03:22.it back from IS. Kurdish fighters are leading the bottle and no claim
:03:23. > :03:29.to have taken over large parts of the town. For Islamic State the town
:03:30. > :03:30.is an important link leading out of its stronghold and losing it would
:03:31. > :03:49.be a big blow. Thank you. Time for the sports section, the
:03:50. > :03:57.president of the IOC has called for an overhaul of the approach to drugs
:03:58. > :04:02.testing. He said he wanted a more efficient process. The session was
:04:03. > :04:08.dominated by questions about the Russian doping scandal but he
:04:09. > :04:15.defended his decision not to ban the Russian athletes en masse. Let's
:04:16. > :04:20.just consider the consequences of a nuclear reaction. The result is
:04:21. > :04:25.death and devastation. This is not what the Olympic movement stands
:04:26. > :04:31.for. The cynical collateral damage approach is not what the Olympic
:04:32. > :04:35.movement stands for. Meanwhile the UK anti-doping agency is waiting to
:04:36. > :04:41.learn why the cyclist Lizzie Armistead was cleared to race in Rio
:04:42. > :04:44.despite missing three drugs tests. Athletes have to make themselves
:04:45. > :04:48.available for testing one hour each day and informed the testers of
:04:49. > :04:52.their location. The British cyclist was temporarily suspended last month
:04:53. > :04:56.and was pending disciplinary action and successfully appealed to the
:04:57. > :04:59.Court of Arbitration for Sport. The cyclist now said that she was
:05:00. > :05:04.looking forward to putting the decision behind her. The decision
:05:05. > :05:12.has caused concern among other Olympians. When British rower, Zac
:05:13. > :05:18.purchase, has tweeted, saying, imagine what we would be saying if
:05:19. > :05:22.she was Russian. The first test, understandable but I would be
:05:23. > :05:25.extremely aware about missing per second and if I missed the second
:05:26. > :05:31.they would be no chance I would miss the third. That is what is happening
:05:32. > :05:35.with Lizzie Armistead. Let's move to football news. Halfway through the
:05:36. > :05:41.Premier League's summer transfer window the clubs have their
:05:42. > :05:44.cheque-books open. But how much are they spending? Business analysts
:05:45. > :05:50.Lloyds have been a number crunching. Get ready for some figures. Over the
:05:51. > :05:58.last few months they've forked out ?475 million. That's about $634
:05:59. > :06:03.million. Compared with ?515 million at the same stage in 2015. The
:06:04. > :06:11.overall figure for signings, in the summer window last year, ?870
:06:12. > :06:17.million. Deloitte says that could rise and there it is, ?1 billion for
:06:18. > :06:22.the first time ever, over $1 billion as well before the window finally
:06:23. > :06:28.closes on August 30 one. So we've still got a couple of weeks to go.
:06:29. > :06:33.Will Perry is that the BBC sports Centre. Let's get into some of this.
:06:34. > :06:40.Whoever once we should be looking at, these biggest deals, -- are the
:06:41. > :06:46.ones we should be looking at? Today, Leroy Hussain and his ?37 million
:06:47. > :06:52.move from Schalke to Manchester City brings the total spent by Premier
:06:53. > :06:56.League clubs since July one up to ?512 million. That figure compares
:06:57. > :07:00.with 3 million more than at the same stage last year. Where is this money
:07:01. > :07:20.being spent over the last month? Belgium side Michu Bhattarai - Michy
:07:21. > :07:25.Batshuayi. The salt we go Lolita was signed, Liverpool spent ?34 million
:07:26. > :07:30.on Sadio Mane from Southampton, and since then, Chelsea have paid the
:07:31. > :07:34.Premier League champions Leicester City and ?30 million for N'Golo
:07:35. > :07:41.Kante. And more significantly last week Juventus came up with ?75.3
:07:42. > :07:43.million, paying Napoli for their striker Gonzalo Viglen. The world's
:07:44. > :08:06.third largest transfer fee -2-to-1. - Higuain. The
:08:07. > :08:10.Paul Pogba case is being talked about, could you explain to our
:08:11. > :08:17.viewers how they could pay so much for one player? They start a new TV
:08:18. > :08:21.deal this season is at the prospect of increased revenue from the live
:08:22. > :08:26.broadcast deal has encouraged clubs to invest in this window to be as
:08:27. > :08:33.competitive as possible. Top-flight clubs have such enormous spending
:08:34. > :08:37.power, sky are paying ?4.2 billion, BT Sport ?960 million for the rights
:08:38. > :08:41.to show live Premier League matches over the next three seasons and as a
:08:42. > :08:45.result of that deal each club can now expect to receive between ?30
:08:46. > :08:59.million and ?50 million from the Premier League for
:09:00. > :09:03.this upcoming season. Take Manchester United. They are about to
:09:04. > :09:05.pay this world record fee for Paul Pogba, that can be funded purely by
:09:06. > :09:08.shirt sales, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they signed him for free, they are
:09:09. > :09:10.paying him a salary but it's peanuts for what they get back, he has sent
:09:11. > :09:15.things into a new stratosphere, Manchester United reportedly paying
:09:16. > :09:28.millions of pounds in one week, so it's a combination of... Well it
:09:29. > :09:33.makes me and you combined with about 20 quid! Well, thank you for giving
:09:34. > :09:39.us the figures and putting it in context. If you seek football shirts
:09:40. > :09:43.you will think about this figures. In Turkey several officials have
:09:44. > :09:50.been fired in the wake of the coup that failed last month. Let's ring
:09:51. > :09:55.up and they said. They said the federation has deemed it necessary
:09:56. > :09:59.to dismiss 94 people including regional, nationally ranked reveries
:10:00. > :10:02.and assistant referees. It did not explain why they had been dismissed,
:10:03. > :10:05.that's just happened in the last few hours.
:10:06. > :10:08.In the run up to the Olympics in Rio, all this week on BBC
:10:09. > :10:10.World News we're looking at some past Olympic greats.
:10:11. > :10:13.David Eades has been looking back at the 1948 Olympics
:10:14. > :10:15.when Fanny Blankers-Koen, a 30-year old mother of two,
:10:16. > :10:21.demolished records, rivals and prejudices.
:10:22. > :10:33.I now unveil the roles of honour. Postwar Wembley, and the unveiling
:10:34. > :10:37.of the roll of honour after the first Olympics since the Berlin

:10:44. > :10:48.place in London in 1948. The first Olympic Games for 12 years. Huge
:10:49. > :10:53.relief that it happened at all. It was also the first time that a
:10:54. > :10:59.female athlete emerged as, arguably, the greatest Olympian of the games.

:11:19. > :11:23.complete as that of any athlete has ever been, in London that meant gold
:11:24. > :11:30.medals in the 100 metres, the 200 metres, the 800 metres hurdles and a
:11:31. > :11:40.relay gold. It was found upon, to a degree, women doing sport, let alone

:11:48. > :11:51.easy-going. And modest with it, say many, she might have won the high
:11:52. > :11:56.jump and the long jump but was only allowed to compete in three
:11:57. > :12:02.individual events. Family is away like a flash. Make no mistake, her

:12:09. > :12:11.single-minded, determined, nothing interested her more than winning

:12:59. > :13:05.will take a look at the latest research into why woolly mammoths

:14:05. > :14:09.had been passing by the nightclub when he spotted her. She had been on

:14:18. > :14:23.Tenniswood can be seen leaning towards his victim, urging her to
:14:24. > :14:28.talk to him. He was a self-confessed alcoholic who drank several bottles
:14:29. > :14:32.of wine a day, he claimed that he had managed to charm India, despite
:14:33. > :14:36.the fact that she was 30 years younger than him. He told the court
:14:37. > :14:40.it was she who had first made a sexual advance. Next, Tenniswood
:14:41. > :14:44.hailed a taxi, they can be seen in the top left of the picture. He
:14:45. > :14:49.admitted in court that he had promised India that she would get
:14:50. > :14:53.home safely. Instead they stopped here, at his terraced house where he
:14:54. > :15:12.raped and murdered her. He then headed to
:15:13. > :15:16.a local hotel where he spent the next 22 hours binge drinking. When
:15:17. > :15:18.the family of Tenniswood raised the alarm police traced Tenniswood to
:15:19. > :15:21.the hotel where he was arrested. India was again intelligent woman at
:15:22. > :15:24.the start of her life. She should have been able to enjoy a night out
:15:25. > :15:26.with friends and return home safely. It is clear that India was targeted
:15:27. > :15:29.by Tenniswood at a point in her life where she was most vulnerable and
:15:30. > :15:31.unable to defend herself. The actions, in my view, others of the

:16:35. > :16:40.China has convicted the first of a high-profile group of activists who
:16:41. > :16:45.have been active for more than a year. One was shown on TV admitting
:16:46. > :16:49.to subverting state power. He was given a three-year suspended prison

:17:06. > :17:12.be open but not to us. We were told to stop filming. This veteran human
:17:13. > :17:17.rights campaigner is one of around 20 activists and lawyers who have
:17:18. > :17:21.been detained since the sweeping crackdown last year. His suppose it
:17:22. > :17:26.confession has already been aired on state TV and today he was the first
:17:27. > :17:34.to be convicted. The charge, subversion. This is his wife, the
:17:35. > :17:39.wife of one of the human rights lawyers caught up in the crackdown.
:17:40. > :17:43.Relatives of the other defendants have been prevented from attending

:18:28. > :18:33.that she and her colleagues have used the human rights work to
:18:34. > :18:37.undermine the government but china's critics see an ulterior motive. For
:18:38. > :18:41.many outside observers including foreign government, there's only one

:18:46. > :18:50.that is, that China is engaged in an effort to ratchet up repression,
:18:51. > :18:57.rein in dissent, and to cement 1-party rule. Today one activist was
:18:58. > :19:02.handed a three-year suspended sentence. Given that subversion
:19:03. > :19:06.carries a maximum of life in prison the relative leniency might be a

:20:23. > :20:27.details coming in about the demise of the woolly mammoths. Scientists
:20:28. > :20:29.studied a group that lived on a remote island off the coast of
:20:30. > :20:44.Alaska. One heard live 5000 years longer
:20:45. > :20:49.than most, scientists now believe they were driven to extinction by a
:20:50. > :20:56.lack of drinking water. Our science correspondent, Rebecca Morell. They
:20:57. > :21:01.were the icons of the ice age. But most woolly mammoths had died out by
:21:02. > :21:06.about 10,000 years ago. Some believe that humans played a role in their
:21:07. > :21:13.demise. But small-group managed to cling on. On a remote Alaskan island
:21:14. > :21:21.they survived for thousands of years longer. But they faced a different
:21:22. > :21:25.problem. At the end of the ice age the earth warmed up, and as sea
:21:26. > :21:30.levels rose the island began to shrink. Legs were lost to the ocean,
:21:31. > :21:36.forcing these giants to share ever scarcer watering lakes were lost.
:21:37. > :21:40.Their modern-day relatives drink up to 200 litres a day but they do not
:21:41. > :21:47.get enough water the consequences can be fatal. If they don't get
:21:48. > :21:51.enough water. Scientists think this is what happened to the mammoths as
:21:52. > :21:55.freshwater was replaced by sea water they could no longer survive. The
:21:56. > :22:05.age of the woolly mammoths had ended. Now to one tiny Scottish
:22:06. > :22:08.island which is having trouble recruiting a teacher. Parents have
:22:09. > :22:12.launched their own online such as someone with a love of the outdoors
:22:13. > :22:21.who can cope with the unique island lifestyle. Lorna Gordon reports from
:22:22. > :22:25.the island. Meet David, Jasper, Daniel, Kitty, Willow, Tara, and
:22:26. > :22:30.Hugh. Almost the entire school on this island. The new term starts in
:22:31. > :22:33.a fortnight and they still need a teacher so their families have taken
:22:34. > :22:40.to social media to sell the job and the island. I would want a teacher
:22:41. > :22:50.that knows how to garden, a teacher that knows how to teach lots of
:22:51. > :22:56.things. Fan, imaginative, happy teacher. -- a fan teacher. It is the
:22:57. > :23:00.smallest of the small Isles in Scotland, little over one mile from
:23:01. > :23:03.end to end. You won't find a classroom like this anywhere else,
:23:04. > :23:11.it did look in summer, in winter, very different. The island can get
:23:12. > :23:15.cut off, sometimes for days and the outgoing teacher says her
:23:16. > :23:18.replacement must come prepared. It's a short distance from the school to
:23:19. > :23:22.the hall and Sundays we would try that because it would be too windy
:23:23. > :23:29.to risk taking the children in that direction. Good waterproofs! Really
:23:30. > :23:34.good waterproofs! The island is at the mercy of the weather and the
:23:35. > :23:38.Atlantic waters, letters, food supplies and the doctors all have to
:23:39. > :23:42.come by boat. There are other rural and remote communities in Scotland
:23:43. > :23:47.which from time to time also have problems recruiting teacher and then
:23:48. > :23:50.getting them to stay long-term and while there can be challenges in a
:23:51. > :23:58.place like this there are also rewards. It's a beautiful island, a
:23:59. > :24:05.very good strong sense of community and everybody helps each other out.
