Here are the top stories. Firefighter has been killed after an

:00:15.:00:20.

Emirates air plane crash landed and caught fire at Dubai Airport. All

:00:21.:00:26.

passengers and crew were unhurt. Olympic action is already underway

:00:27.:00:30.

in Rio, Sweden beat South Africa 1-0 in the first round of the women's

:00:31.:00:35.

football. We will be live in Washington in a moment, and more

:00:36.:00:40.

Republicans say they will vote for Hillary Clinton rather than Donald

:00:41.:00:44.

Trump but his campaign manager says the campaign is in great shape. We

:00:45.:00:48.

will speak to the head of a company which has been given permission to

:00:49.:00:49.

land a craft on the moon. Let's start this half hour in the

:00:50.:01:11.

United States where divisions are growing within the Republican party

:01:12.:01:15.

over Donald Trump's raced to the White House. Major Republican donor

:01:16.:01:21.

Meg Whitman, said she will back Mr Trump's rival Democrat Hillary

:01:22.:01:23.

Clinton and she's not the only Republican to say that. His campaign

:01:24.:01:29.

manager has denied the campaign to make him president is in turmoil.

:01:30.:01:32.

Let's take a look at what he said in an interview with Fox News.

:01:33.:01:38.

Let's get more from this with the BBC correspondent in Washington, DC.

:01:39.:01:47.

Great to have you back with us. I was reading the Democrats were

:01:48.:01:50.

saying this is a turning point in the campaign between Hillary Clinton

:01:51.:01:55.

and Donald Trump, is it different, this time? You do get this period

:01:56.:01:59.

between the conventions and first debate where a lot of political

:02:00.:02:03.

strategists think they get a fairly accurate reading of how the American

:02:04.:02:08.

public is feeling about the race. At the moment, since the convention, it

:02:09.:02:12.

seems like Hillary Clinton is faring better. I have to say, over the last

:02:13.:02:17.

48 hours, I have begun to wonder whether -- wonder whether we are

:02:18.:02:21.

watching something of an implosion in the Championship campaign with

:02:22.:02:23.

senior Republicans you mention saying they will not only not

:02:24.:02:27.

endorse him but they will give money and campaign for Hillary Clinton.

:02:28.:02:33.

And then Donald Trump's own refusal to endorse Paul Ryan -- Paul Ryan,

:02:34.:02:40.

the most senior Republican and his VP, Mike Pence, the Republican Vice

:02:41.:02:44.

President candidate says he will endorse Paul Ryan. At the moment,

:02:45.:02:49.

Donald Trump is speaking in Florida at a rally. He began that rally by

:02:50.:02:54.

saying our campaign is more united than it has ever been. This press

:02:55.:02:59.

criticism and speculation about disunity in the Trollope campaign

:03:00.:03:02.

seems to have got to the candidate, he seems to have thought he needs to

:03:03.:03:06.

hit that issue straightaway. It was interesting when the Democrats and

:03:07.:03:12.

president Obama giving a press conference in the Singaporean pie

:03:13.:03:14.

minister, talking about Donald Trump unfit to be president and we talked

:03:15.:03:16.

about it last night. If the Democrats just took a step back, it

:03:17.:03:21.

would be more beneficial, perhaps. Now it looks like the Republicans

:03:22.:03:24.

are going up against them, agreeing with what the Democrats are saying.

:03:25.:03:28.

Instead, let it all play out without taking that step that Mr Obama did,

:03:29.:03:33.

for example. They have done that, to a certain extent. It is the Clinton

:03:34.:03:38.

campaign's job and any campaign would do the same thing, to attack

:03:39.:03:42.

their arrival. The Clinton campaign has just come out with a new ad,

:03:43.:03:52.

attacking Donald Trump. I don't think we will hear them sit back and

:03:53.:03:55.

not point out these inconsistencies in the Championship campaign, they

:03:56.:03:57.

are glaring. I have never seen this before. I have never seen a campaign

:03:58.:04:00.

where the candidate for the presidency says one thing and the

:04:01.:04:03.

vice president John candidate says another thing. This is the second

:04:04.:04:09.

time this has happened between these two men -- vice presidential

:04:10.:04:13.

candidate. It happened over the Khan family as well. I would be surprised

:04:14.:04:17.

if the Democrats stop attacking, they only have three months until

:04:18.:04:20.

the election, they will do everything they can to make sure

:04:21.:04:24.

Hillary Clinton wins. Interesting times. Political strategists in high

:04:25.:04:30.

demand. Thank you for speaking to us from Washington, DC. We will stay

:04:31.:04:34.

with this story and this election cycle. Some people have decided they

:04:35.:04:37.

cannot vote for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. They are turning

:04:38.:04:41.

to a third-party candidate, you don't hear it that often the United

:04:42.:04:46.

States. Support for such an alternative is increasing. Let's

:04:47.:04:51.

take a look. This is a poll from YouGov. Yellow is the libertarian

:04:52.:04:56.

candidate and the green is the green candidate. They have been getting

:04:57.:05:02.

steadily more popular. We have more on these other people in the

:05:03.:05:05.

presidential race. And exactly what the impact may be.

:05:06.:05:09.

With all this talk of Championship and Clinton, you might not have

:05:10.:05:15.

heard of these two but they are also running for US president in this

:05:16.:05:19.

already unpredictable race, they could make an impact. With around

:05:20.:05:24.

225 million voters in the US, it is impossible to expect everyone to fit

:05:25.:05:28.

neatly into one of the two major parties. This year, more than ever,

:05:29.:05:32.

many voters are crying out for an alternative. It is almost impossible

:05:33.:05:36.

for a third-party candidate to win but third-party candidates can

:05:37.:05:45.

siphon off the balance in one or another state. That might be all

:05:46.:05:48.

that it takes. There are Republicans who won't vote for Donald Trump and

:05:49.:05:50.

Bernie Sanders supporters who say they won't be backing Hillary

:05:51.:05:54.

Clinton. The Libertarian party candidate Gary Johnson and the green

:05:55.:05:58.

party's Jill Steyn have actually picked up support in the polls.

:05:59.:06:02.

Right now you would expect to see them do the best. A lot of people

:06:03.:06:08.

saying they would vote for a third-party candidate and as they

:06:09.:06:12.

are reminded about the stakes of the election, reminded of why they

:06:13.:06:15.

usually vote the way they do, they will come home to their party and

:06:16.:06:19.

vote for their policy. Remember the 2000 election between George Bush

:06:20.:06:23.

and Al Gore? The one that made its way to the courts. There was a

:06:24.:06:28.

third-party candidate then, Ralph Nader, the Democrats blamed him for

:06:29.:06:31.

taking support away from them. And then there was 1992, Ross Perot was

:06:32.:06:38.

the third man standing against George Bush senior and Bill Clinton.

:06:39.:06:42.

In that race, Republicans blamed him for taking support from them. What

:06:43.:06:46.

might happen this year? This election, it could come down to

:06:47.:06:49.

whether disillusioned voters decide to go for the third-party candidate

:06:50.:06:53.

or stick with one of the major two all decide to stay at home.

:06:54.:07:06.

One topic on outside sport, the Olympics. Some news about the

:07:07.:07:14.

Russian team. Sports arbitrators at the Court of Arbitration for Sport

:07:15.:07:17.

to uphold the ban is on Russian weightlifters and 17 Russian rowers

:07:18.:07:22.

from the Rio Games. We are expected to get more news about which Russian

:07:23.:07:25.

athletes will be allowed to compete in the coming days. We will bring it

:07:26.:07:30.

to you. Earlier, the Olympic torch finally arrived in the city after

:07:31.:07:34.

being carried almost 20,000 kilometres all around Brazil. It is

:07:35.:07:38.

a year where sport in general has been embroiled in controversy. We

:07:39.:07:43.

have looked at the difficulties faced by the Olympic movement and

:07:44.:07:46.

considers how it can move on from them. He sent us this report from

:07:47.:07:48.

Rio. After a journey across from Brazil,

:07:49.:07:57.

this morning's arrival of the limbic torch in Rio was a symbolic moment

:07:58.:08:02.

coming two days' time it will be the focal point of the opening ceremony.

:08:03.:08:07.

It has been dominated by the Russian doping stand-off. The severe

:08:08.:08:10.

pressure of the Olympic International committee is meeting

:08:11.:08:14.

this week crisis of faith in its leadership. The most successful

:08:15.:08:17.

Olympian has told me the start of the sport can't come soon enough.

:08:18.:08:22.

Once the Games starts, they will be amazing performances from all

:08:23.:08:25.

countries, not just Team GB. Something we can all celebrate. And

:08:26.:08:29.

remember what the point of the Olympic Games is. It is about

:08:30.:08:33.

bringing the world together and celebrate sport. And not focusing on

:08:34.:08:38.

negative issues all the time. But at the Games was the billions it costs?

:08:39.:08:43.

London 2012 helped transform East London and most of the venues are in

:08:44.:08:47.

use but failed to make Britain a more active and nation. The Saatchi

:08:48.:08:51.

Winter games were the most expensive ever and arguably the most damaging,

:08:52.:08:57.

given the revelations of state sponsorship in doping. Rio has

:08:58.:09:02.

struggled with opposition, recession, zika virus, pollution and

:09:03.:09:05.

security. IOC President Thomas Bach has a pledge to reduce the cost of

:09:06.:09:11.

staging the games but some aren't -- some want others values prioritised.

:09:12.:09:18.

Sometimes it is linked to human rights abuses and corruption. If the

:09:19.:09:22.

IOC and International federations don't react, if they just continue

:09:23.:09:27.

as they do and say, well, we don't care, then it might be the end of

:09:28.:09:32.

the Olympic Games, at least as Games with a value, with a message to the

:09:33.:09:36.

world. What is laid down in the Olympic Charter. But in Rio, it is

:09:37.:09:39.

evident the Games remains big business with billions of crowns

:09:40.:09:44.

generated in sponsorship and broadcast revenue, each Olympic

:09:45.:09:47.

cycle -- billions of pounds. Some western cities still want to play

:09:48.:09:52.

host. Los Angeles, one of those bidding to secure the Games fourth

:09:53.:09:58.

2024. There is sustainability, infrastructure, Los Angeles has 97%

:09:59.:10:02.

of our venues already built. We only have to build one permanent venue,

:10:03.:10:07.

we have the facilities, we are a sporting town. 88% of our residents

:10:08.:10:11.

in our town wants to bring the Games back to the city of Los Angeles. The

:10:12.:10:16.

the women's football tournament began in only front of the queue in

:10:17.:10:23.

front -- a few hundred spectators. They hope it will provide the

:10:24.:10:25.

showcase that the Olympic movement now needs.

:10:26.:10:30.

One more updates that has just come in. In the past couple of minutes,

:10:31.:10:36.

from the International Olympic Committee. The members have voted to

:10:37.:10:41.

add the following sports to the sport.

:10:42.:10:44.

I am not sure what sport climbing is but we will find out. That is coming

:10:45.:10:51.

up. In a few minutes time, we will find out about these rare leopard

:10:52.:10:55.

cubs born in a zoo in England. Gas and electricity companies in the

:10:56.:11:07.

UK are to be forced by the energy regulator to introduce measures to

:11:08.:11:11.

reduce household bills. Jim says it includes a cap on prepayment meters

:11:12.:11:15.

that will save many customers around ?75 per year they are asking for

:11:16.:11:18.

clearer information on bills, wider range of tariffs and moves to

:11:19.:11:22.

encourage more people to switch suppliers. Let's hear more.

:11:23.:11:26.

Two thirds of us are paying too much for gas and electricity and the

:11:27.:11:34.

worst affected are 4 million people like Jay Winter with a prepayment

:11:35.:11:37.

meter, meters with less choice of tariffs and higher rates. Ever since

:11:38.:11:45.

I have been on a prepay meter costs have soared dramatically. I am

:11:46.:11:52.

topping it up ?250 per month, opposed to direct debit scheme, you

:11:53.:11:59.

would pay about ?100 - ?150. To spur competition for number of tariffs

:12:00.:12:03.

will be lifted and they will be a cap on prepayment prices, saving

:12:04.:12:07.

customers ?75 per year. And then 10 million people will be put on a

:12:08.:12:11.

database to be sent mail shots from suppliers, pushing them to switch.

:12:12.:12:15.

What we have got to do as an industry is help people engage in

:12:16.:12:23.

it. That is beholden on an energy supplier, internet switching site

:12:24.:12:25.

and on the regulator. We need to work together. But there is worry

:12:26.:12:28.

about being on a database and many can't be bothered to switch, even

:12:29.:12:33.

for a possible ?300 saving. I am too lazy to get on the internet and get

:12:34.:12:37.

change. I can't be bothered going through the hassle. I don't want

:12:38.:12:41.

people getting my information. If they can get hold of it, who else

:12:42.:12:45.

can, it is a bit scary. There are hundreds of pounds to be shaved off

:12:46.:12:49.

families' heating and energy bills, that is the expectation that often

:12:50.:12:55.

has now raised. There will be huge pressure to deliver. Or they will

:12:56.:12:59.

face calls for wider controls to put the lid on prices.

:13:00.:13:03.

They will be watching closely at these measures to get more people

:13:04.:13:08.

switching to cheaper deals. It is not clear whether they will work but

:13:09.:13:12.

it is worth a try. The question in a few years' time if they don't work

:13:13.:13:16.

is whether there should be a broader price cap to protect more people in

:13:17.:13:20.

the market, essentially. Success could depend on these, Smart meters,

:13:21.:13:24.

to help save energy and open the wave to special deals and faster

:13:25.:13:28.

switching, but it will be several years before we will have them.

:13:29.:13:47.

And Emirates air plane caught fire early and one firefighter was killed

:13:48.:13:53.

and it caused the closure of one of the world's busiest airports. What

:13:54.:13:58.

you will see next depends on where you live. If you are outside of the

:13:59.:14:03.

UK, world News America, Donald Trump in the headlines for a script from

:14:04.:14:07.

House Speaker, Paul Ryan. We will speak to his former communications

:14:08.:14:12.

manager, Paul Ryan. The News at ten is next, following a sharp drop in

:14:13.:14:15.

the UK service sector will start we look at the possibility of cuts in

:14:16.:14:20.

interest rates. -- service sector. And we will look at.

:14:21.:14:25.

The US government has, for the first time, given permission to a private

:14:26.:14:29.

company to fly to the moon. The Federal aviation Administration

:14:30.:14:40.

gave clearance to moon express to land their washing machine sized

:14:41.:14:44.

vehicle on the moon that would take hubs across the lunar surface. But

:14:45.:14:46.

why? To answer that and many more

:14:47.:14:52.

questions is the co-founder and Chairman of the company that has

:14:53.:14:57.

been given the green light. Wonderful to have you. Why do you

:14:58.:15:01.

want to land this vehicle and get permission to go to the moon?

:15:02.:15:05.

Landing on the moon is symbolic of what a small group of entrepreneurs

:15:06.:15:12.

are capable of doing. We are doing something only been doing by the

:15:13.:15:17.

superpowers, not UK, Germany, France. A small group of

:15:18.:15:19.

entrepreneurs are now capable of doing things that were just amazing.

:15:20.:15:25.

Imagine when we land on the moon, what we will do to benefit humanity.

:15:26.:15:30.

Whether it is bringing back helium three, for a clean energy source

:15:31.:15:33.

that could power this planet for generations to come. The top line we

:15:34.:15:38.

have on it is that you got this permission from the FAA to be able

:15:39.:15:43.

to go but I did not even know that somebody has the rights over space.

:15:44.:15:47.

That you would even need to get permission, tell me about that.

:15:48.:15:51.

Every country is part of outer space Treaty. Part of that is to not

:15:52.:15:59.

interfere with each other's country's mission. In some senses,

:16:00.:16:03.

private companies have never asked and nobody even imagined a small

:16:04.:16:08.

private company would do that, there was no infrastructure. The United

:16:09.:16:12.

States really had to fit in for us, exclusively, that when we land on

:16:13.:16:16.

the moon, next year, they have to make sure the United States is in

:16:17.:16:19.

compliance with the Outer space Treaty. And to make sure that we do

:16:20.:16:23.

everything that they would have done as a government. Which is not to

:16:24.:16:27.

contaminate the moon or to contaminate birth when we come back.

:16:28.:16:32.

Not to step on the heritage site where Neil Armstrong put his

:16:33.:16:36.

footsteps. We requested exactly the same thing of the United States. To

:16:37.:16:40.

protect our mission and make sure that we are exploring the moon is

:16:41.:16:45.

nobody, no other country or company can interfere. It is an amazing

:16:46.:16:49.

business. I never thought before, but of course it is a heritage site

:16:50.:16:54.

where Neil Armstrong put the flag on the moon, you will have to watch out

:16:55.:16:59.

for that. This non-contamination is interest in. What do you think will

:17:00.:17:04.

be your biggest challenge? -- is interesting. What keeps you awake at

:17:05.:17:10.

night? In some sense it is the rocket science. Well understood

:17:11.:17:14.

rocket science. Is the only thing we are doing is to make sure we can

:17:15.:17:19.

finish raising the last bit of money so we have already invested $30

:17:20.:17:22.

million looking for the last $25 million. To rephrase John F.

:17:23.:17:30.

Kennedy, we chose to go to the moon not because it is easy but because

:17:31.:17:36.

it is a good business. Squadron gems worth of minerals, platinum grade

:17:37.:17:41.

minerals, water that is fuel for the rocket and fuel for humanity.

:17:42.:17:45.

Imagine when we land on the moon, we can become a multi-pantry society,

:17:46.:17:49.

colonise the moon is the first stepping stone. And then we can go

:17:50.:17:55.

to the Mars -- a multi-planetary Society. We will have a plan B in

:17:56.:18:00.

place. Imagine if you are the dinosaurs and had no plan B, a small

:18:01.:18:04.

asteroid hit the planet Earth and wiped out everything. They are

:18:05.:18:09.

rolling in their graves, they wished they had a great entrepreneur that

:18:10.:18:12.

they wished could have saved them. You are thinking people living on

:18:13.:18:18.

the moon at some point, colonise is your word? Absolutely. Our thinking

:18:19.:18:22.

is to bring resources back for the benefit of humanity but in the

:18:23.:18:27.

long-term, making the honeymoon, taking your honey to the moon, bring

:18:28.:18:33.

back not only platinum and rare earth elements but bringing moon

:18:34.:18:37.

rock. When somebody gets engaged, as opposed to giving someone a diamond,

:18:38.:18:42.

if you really love her, you give her the moon. Don't promise her the

:18:43.:18:43.

moon, give her the moon. Do you think you will raise the 25

:18:44.:18:53.

million before next year? No doubt in my mind. It will happen.

:18:54.:18:57.

As humans, we watched history being made. Rarely in life you get to the

:18:58.:19:05.

part of making history and there is no better way than joining a company

:19:06.:19:10.

that will go in the history books as someone who actually went out on

:19:11.:19:14.

this earth orbit and set up footsteps on the moon and made it

:19:15.:19:18.

possible for humans to live on the moon and Mars and Jupiter and

:19:19.:19:25.

Saturn. And every other galaxy. You will have to come back on when all

:19:26.:19:30.

of this happens. Thank you for your infectious enthusiasm.

:19:31.:19:33.

The entrepreneur that will go to the moon.

:19:34.:19:40.

Medecins Sans Frontieres say they are worried the governments will

:19:41.:19:46.

harden Pollard sees towards refugees and migrants in response to recent

:19:47.:19:49.

terror attacks in Europe -- harden their policies.

:19:50.:19:53.

Almost half of migrants drowned in the Mediterranean Sea that tried to

:19:54.:20:00.

cross in Europe. This is the map. They operate a rescue boat and they

:20:01.:20:04.

patrolled the dangerous crossing between North Africa and southern

:20:05.:20:09.

Europe, Greece or Italy. Chris Butler spent the last few days on

:20:10.:20:10.

board their ship. Each day the Mediterranean appears,

:20:11.:20:19.

attending those who see it as a crossing to Europe.

:20:20.:20:22.

Even if they are able to ignore the risks and reality of what that

:20:23.:20:27.

means, others can't. Stand by. Search and rescue teams have become

:20:28.:20:31.

a fixture on this ocean. They are a necessity, to deal with

:20:32.:20:41.

the overloaded boats that leave the Libyan coast, daily, with no hope of

:20:42.:20:44.

reaching their intended destination. We have approximately 25 females,

:20:45.:20:56.

four children, one pregnant woman. How far along are you? Eight months.

:20:57.:21:02.

All 138 people in this boat relied on being rescued.

:21:03.:21:07.

They had with them no supplies, nor any obvious way of finding Europe.

TRANSLATION: I was afraid, I was really afraid. In Libya, I was put

:21:17.:21:23.

in prison with my children. I had to pay money in order to get out. I put

:21:24.:21:29.

my life and my children's life on the line to come here.

:21:30.:21:33.

In this land, my children can go to school, they can live in peace. What

:21:34.:21:37.

else is there? There is joy for this group, they

:21:38.:21:46.

found safe passage. After travelling from countries across Africa

:21:47.:21:53.

including Gambia, Sudan and Nigeria, but over the last fortnight a dozen

:21:54.:21:58.

bodies a day have been washing up on the beaches of Libya. Near to the

:21:59.:22:01.

site of this rescue, another boat lay floating in the water,

:22:02.:22:06.

possession is still inside and no sign of what happened to those that

:22:07.:22:10.

were once in it. The International organisation for migration says that

:22:11.:22:15.

already this year internationally more than 4000 refugees and migrants

:22:16.:22:21.

have died and it is thought that around three quarters of them

:22:22.:22:23.

drowned here in the Mediterranean Sea. Medecins Sans Frontieres which

:22:24.:22:31.

operates this rescue ship is now refusing money from European

:22:32.:22:33.

governments because it says their policies are not helping refugees.

:22:34.:22:39.

I'm ashamed of being a European and seeing how Europe is treating these

:22:40.:22:46.

people. We hear about numerous people getting tortured, girls

:22:47.:22:49.

getting mass raped, people being sold into slavery.

:22:50.:22:53.

You see the people back home basically talking about we are

:22:54.:23:02.

bringing terrorists to Europe. You -- there have been attacks linked to

:23:03.:23:06.

refugees, are you worried that the governments and authorities in

:23:07.:23:10.

Europe are, if anything, going to become toxic in how they deal with

:23:11.:23:14.

this problem? They probably are, that is worrisome. I am terrified

:23:15.:23:18.

they will be tougher because right now, people are suffering. They are

:23:19.:23:23.

suffering a lot. Some are looking to Europe as a place where they can

:23:24.:23:28.

simply build a better life. I'm going to Europe to work. Europe is

:23:29.:23:32.

obviously a place where a lot of people are going to, at the moment.

:23:33.:23:36.

Do you think there is room for everyone? You know, I am a

:23:37.:23:42.

Christian, I believe in peace. Everybody is not the same. I believe

:23:43.:23:48.

my luck will shine. But the medical staff say it clear to them that many

:23:49.:23:53.

who have come through Libya have suffered. The patients we see, there

:23:54.:23:59.

are some very harrowing tales of abuse that has happened. People have

:24:00.:24:03.

been forcibly imprisoned. They carry many injuries from that. Whatever

:24:04.:24:10.

they are leaving behind, rescue is a moment of relief. A time to savour,

:24:11.:24:17.

because this journey is only the start. Europe will bring its own

:24:18.:24:19.

challenges. Two Amur leopards, believed

:24:20.:24:27.

to be the world's rarest big cat, have been born

:24:28.:24:29.

at Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire. It is thought by the rarest big cat

:24:30.:24:40.

species in the world. Only about 70 left in the world. Born five weeks

:24:41.:24:44.

ago and have already made an appearance in public. The second

:24:45.:24:50.

pair born to their mother. Their father is called Davidoff, new

:24:51.:24:55.

additions in that zoo in the UK. Thanks for watching, back with you

:24:56.:24:58.

again tomorrow, I hope you join us.
