:00:12. > :00:16.This is Outside Source. The top stories from our newsroom. The
:00:17. > :00:22.International Olympic Committee says it will confirm the final number of
:00:23. > :00:26.Russians shortly but the IOC president warned that athletes who
:00:27. > :00:31.don't will always be discovered. The ANC party in South Africa on course

:00:41. > :00:45.from London's Olympic Stadium where West Ham are playing their first
:00:46. > :00:46.ever match in their new home. If you want to get in touch, tweet us using
:00:47. > :01:08.the hashtag BBC OS. You're very welcome to the second
:01:09. > :01:13.part of the programme. I want to bring up these pictures of US
:01:14. > :01:18.President Barack Obama, he is expected to hold a press conference
:01:19. > :01:20.here. It's about the ongoing fight against so-called Islamic State.
:01:21. > :01:27.This is taking place at the Pentagon. One of the few times he's
:01:28. > :01:31.gone to address this issue. A lot of people asking questions with the
:01:32. > :01:36.backdrop of the US presidential race that we've spoken about many times.
:01:37. > :01:41.Some people believe that in fact, there will be a press briefing after
:01:42. > :01:45.he speaks at the podium. And some questions that might come out about
:01:46. > :01:51.either Hillary Clinton Donald Trump, so we'll keep an eye on that coming
:01:52. > :01:56.up in a few minutes time. Turning to Outside Source sport, you probably
:01:57. > :01:59.recognise these jerseys. After 112 years at Upton Park, West Ham are
:02:00. > :02:06.getting their first taste of the new home, the London stadium. You might
:02:07. > :02:11.remember it... This is the way it used to look, it was called the
:02:12. > :02:15.Olympic Stadium. But at the athletics track, let me bring this
:02:16. > :02:22.over, it has been covered with Astroturf. It looks like this now.
:02:23. > :02:26.The hammers are currently facing off against a club from Slovenia, their
:02:27. > :02:29.third qualifying match for the Europa League. Quite a change. You
:02:30. > :02:33.may have seen the move as a way of pushing West Ham into the higher
:02:34. > :02:35.echelons of Premier League and to bring in more revenue. It has not
:02:36. > :02:47.been without controversy. The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is
:02:48. > :02:52.well and truly alive this evening because 54,000 people are here to
:02:53. > :02:56.watch West Ham United's first game in their new home. The fans
:02:57. > :03:00.streaming into the stadium, many have been your all afternoon taking
:03:01. > :03:04.photographs and having a look around. They've waited so long to
:03:05. > :03:08.move into this stadium. Initially a lot of the fans were reluctant to
:03:09. > :03:12.come here and leave their Upton Park home. It seems they've come around
:03:13. > :03:15.idea because 50,000 season tickets are sold out and there are tens of
:03:16. > :03:20.thousands of people still on the waiting list. We've been lucky
:03:21. > :03:24.enough to go inside and it's very impressive, a lot bigger than the
:03:25. > :03:28.old ground. The Concourse is decorated to reflect West Ham's most
:03:29. > :03:33.memorable seasons and greatest players. The West Ham manager has
:03:34. > :03:34.tonight asked fans to bring the stadium alive and really make it
:03:35. > :03:41.their own. If you're wondering, West Ham looked
:03:42. > :03:45.like they will win the match, the new home seems to be working, they
:03:46. > :03:50.are free- zero up with a few minutes to go. We moved to table tennis, not
:03:51. > :03:52.exactly the most popular sport in Nigeria but it hasn't stopped the
:03:53. > :03:57.country producing some history making players. One man has won 15
:03:58. > :04:00.gold medals at the African games. Who
:04:01. > :04:04.he takes part in his seventh Olympics. Our correspondent went to
:04:05. > :04:12.meet him. This man is in seventh heaven. He is
:04:13. > :04:17.Africa's most decorated table tennis player and he's no stranger to the
:04:18. > :04:22.Olympic Games. Rio is his seventh attempt at getting a medal. Having
:04:23. > :04:29.made his debut at Barcelona in 1992, when he was just 18. When I played
:04:30. > :04:33.my first Olympics, I didn't expect it would be seventh Olympics. I feel
:04:34. > :04:45.very happy about it, because I make a record for African, also Nigerian.
:04:46. > :04:53.For me it's good also. Nigeria is a nation addicted to football and that
:04:54. > :04:57.makes it difficult for the likes of Segun to gain support and
:04:58. > :05:03.recognition. It makes me feel sad sometimes, you know, because a lot
:05:04. > :05:11.of countries, especially in Africa, the government focuses too much on
:05:12. > :05:21.football. The sport budget, about 90%, more than that, only on
:05:22. > :05:25.football. It's so sad because... I just overlook it, forget about it,
:05:26. > :05:31.because if I always think about it, it's going to affect my career. His
:05:32. > :05:36.talents defies his 41 years. As he prepares to face opponents nearly 20
:05:37. > :05:44.years younger. But could he take on an older than him? We have another
:05:45. > :05:53.way, the Chinese way. Let's do it the simple way, your teaching an old
:05:54. > :05:54.dog new tricks. This is easy! This is easy! I should have played this
:05:55. > :06:05.sport. I suppose what makes a good table tennis
:06:06. > :06:13.player? Hard work and good practice. And you have to start from... From
:06:14. > :06:19.kids. I can't go back to being ten years old now. No, it's not
:06:20. > :06:24.possible. It's not possible to be a top player at your age. 2020 Olympic
:06:25. > :06:29.Games isn't going to happen? Even 3000 Olympic Games isn't going to
:06:30. > :06:33.happen. LAUGHTER A nice piece there.
:06:34. > :06:39.A little over 24 hours to the opening ceremony. For the next month
:06:40. > :06:46.all eyes will be on the host city, Rio de Janeiro. People visiting will
:06:47. > :06:50.get to know some of the quirks and habits of these unique Brazilians.
:06:51. > :06:52.Our correspondent gives us the lowdown on the people from her
:06:53. > :07:06.hometown. Rio is the birthplace of the
:07:07. > :07:10.Cariocas. Our culture has a laid-back lifestyle and body
:07:11. > :07:15.awareness. Women often wear small bikinis but going topless isn't
:07:16. > :07:18.common. And the men? Most prefer wearing Speedo style swimsuits. In
:07:19. > :07:24.the Beach district walking around in speedos and flip-flops is perfectly
:07:25. > :07:33.acceptable. Rio can serve as a huge open-air gym. And a bit of showing
:07:34. > :07:38.off is part of it, too. Relaxed, sloppy, but in a good sense, without
:07:39. > :07:41.a care in the world. I like how welcoming people are, they are very
:07:42. > :07:48.warm and friendly and always greet you with a smile. Time here is
:07:49. > :07:50.somewhat relative. Cariocas are often late, sometimes it's awkward
:07:51. > :07:55.not to be late, if I'm going to a party at someone's house. But we
:07:56. > :08:05.always say, I'm almost there, even if we're still getting on the bus.
:08:06. > :08:09.This is an American. She helped to decipher the Carioca the ways in a
:08:10. > :08:12.book that became a bestseller. If you go to a bank in wait in line you
:08:13. > :08:16.start a conversation with the person in front of you, the person next to
:08:17. > :08:19.you will share the most intimate secrets while you stand in line and
:08:20. > :08:23.you'll never see this person again. It doesn't matter. They wear their
:08:24. > :08:30.emotions on their sleeve. Which I think is beautiful. TRANSLATION:
:08:31. > :08:34.Above all the Carioca is very positive even with all the problems
:08:35. > :08:35.we face, the violence, inequality. We look past that and see the bright
:08:36. > :08:48.side of things. Nothing turns sadness into joy like
:08:49. > :08:52.samba music. Seguns face no lack of diversity in the city. Seeing the
:08:53. > :09:00.glass half full might be our survival strategy.
:09:01. > :09:04.When the Rio Olympics officially begins there is one factor the
:09:05. > :09:09.athletes will all have at the back of their mind. The weather. It can
:09:10. > :09:10.make such a difference to a sport. What can the competitors expect in
:09:11. > :09:22.Brazil? Darren Bett has this. It's the greatest sporting event on
:09:23. > :09:27.earth. Rio 2016, the summer games, in Brazil. Did you know they are
:09:28. > :09:31.taking place in Rio's winter? This is the coolest and driest time in
:09:32. > :09:35.the city, a time of year when humidity is at its lowest. In some
:09:36. > :09:41.time the weather will be significantly different, and
:09:42. > :09:44.arguably much harsher. In August, daytime temperatures in Rio reach a
:09:45. > :09:50.high of 26 Celsius. They rarely fall below 19 at night. Average monthly
:09:51. > :09:55.rainfall is 50 nanometres, similar to London. But because of the local
:09:56. > :10:00.mountains and proximity of the sea, weather conditions will vary across
:10:01. > :10:05.the city's venues. The tennis tournament takes place at the
:10:06. > :10:10.Olympic Park on the western side of Rio. With low humidity, the ball
:10:11. > :10:14.suffers more drag, flying fractionally slower as dry areas
:10:15. > :10:19.denser than humid air. Golf is influenced by whether in a similar
:10:20. > :10:23.way. The code can down to the luck of the draw as we saw at the open in
:10:24. > :10:27.Troon. We the Olympic course also close to the sea, playing conditions
:10:28. > :10:30.could be more difficult in the afternoon if stronger sea breezes
:10:31. > :10:35.develop. Many of the football matches will be staged in other
:10:36. > :10:39.Brazilian cities. In Manaus and Salvador temperature and humidity
:10:40. > :10:42.will be greater than Rio. Playing in high humidity is particularly
:10:43. > :10:47.draining as the body has to work harder to keep cool. Heat stress is
:10:48. > :10:53.less of a concern for Rovers. Wind speed and direction has a much
:10:54. > :10:56.bigger impact. A crosswind in particular could favour teams
:10:57. > :11:01.closest to the wind with choppy conditions for those further across.
:11:02. > :11:05.For art is the biggest concern is also the wind. Strong gusts could
:11:06. > :11:08.see archers missed the target altogether. Competitors will prepare
:11:09. > :11:12.mentally and physically for the conditions, choosing a heavier
:11:13. > :11:17.though if the wind is blowing hard. Sailing is hugely affected by wind
:11:18. > :11:22.speed and direction. The sport should have made its Olympic debut
:11:23. > :11:26.at Athens in 1896, but bad weather put paid to it. Sailors needs
:11:27. > :11:31.detailed forecasts to plan their tactics. Sea breezes in the bay, and
:11:32. > :11:36.wind flow disruption from nearby mountains, could make for tricky
:11:37. > :11:41.conditions. Cycling gets underway with road races. As we seen in the
:11:42. > :11:45.Tour de France, competitors prefer light winds and dry conditions.
:11:46. > :11:46.Chris Froome will hope to make history and avoid hitting the
:11:47. > :11:56.tarmac. We'll have more later from Rio,
:11:57. > :11:58.we'll show you the huge mural in downtown Rio that has taken a year
:11:59. > :12:11.to complete. The Labour Party has held its first
:12:12. > :12:14.head-to-head hustings debate for the leadership campaign in Cardiff this
:12:15. > :12:18.evening. Leader Jeremy Corbyn clashed with rival Owen Smith over
:12:19. > :12:21.party unity. Mr Smith said it was fractured and the only people who
:12:22. > :12:30.would benefit whether conservatives. Mr Corbyn said it was difficult for
:12:31. > :12:33.Mr Smith to complain about disunity. Disunited parties lose elections but
:12:34. > :12:39.we've never looked more disunited. Why did you resign? ... Than we've
:12:40. > :12:44.looked under your leadership. A part of the reason we are so disunited is
:12:45. > :12:51.we are losing. We lost in the local government elections, 18 seats. The
:12:52. > :12:54.Tories at the same point in the cycle won 300 seats. Ed Miliband at
:12:55. > :13:02.this point in the cycle was nine percentage points ahead. 14 points
:13:03. > :13:08.behind. Ukip here in Wales won seven seats, it's a disgrace. We've got
:13:09. > :13:14.Ukip in our National Assembly here in Wales on your watch, now watch.
:13:15. > :13:22.We are third in Scotland, behind the Tories. This is not success, Jeremy.
:13:23. > :13:26.On current trajectory will be down at 22% of the next election in 2020
:13:27. > :13:31.under your leadership. You cannot want bad because you want the Labour
:13:32. > :13:35.government. We want to put into practice our principles, you don't
:13:36. > :13:37.just want to protest about it, I hope, you want to actually deliver
:13:38. > :13:43.something for this country. That means winning. It doesn't mean
:13:44. > :13:47.trading our principles, it means winning to put it into practice,
:13:48. > :13:52.that's what we've got to do with a Labour government and not a protest
:13:53. > :13:57.movement. I want to let Jeremy Corbyn respond to that. He once I
:13:58. > :14:01.were at the same Shadow Cabinet table when we agreed on the strategy
:14:02. > :14:04.we were going to do in the house. We agreed where we would take it to the
:14:05. > :14:09.Tories aren't we had a significant number of victories. We did defeat
:14:10. > :14:13.the Tories in the May elections, I'd wish it had been by more than we
:14:14. > :14:17.well ahead of them at the end. The party is growing massively in
:14:18. > :14:21.membership. It must show something. What I don't understand is how you
:14:22. > :14:25.can complain about disunity in the party when you and others are the
:14:26. > :14:33.ones who resigned from the Shadow Cabinet. CHEERING
:14:34. > :14:34.APPLAUSE At the very point we could have
:14:35. > :14:51.taken it to them. This is Outside Source live from the
:14:52. > :14:53.BBC. Our top story. The head of the International Olympic committee has
:14:54. > :14:57.said the organisation is determined to keep drug cheats away from the
:14:58. > :15:02.Rio games. Russian officials say 271 of the athletes have been cleared to
:15:03. > :15:08.compete. Where you live depends on what you get next from the BBC. If
:15:09. > :15:12.outside of the UK, its world News America to celebrate President
:15:13. > :15:16.Obama's 55th birthday, a report from Hawaii looking at the politics in
:15:17. > :15:20.Paradise. In the UK, the News at Ten is next. They report on the good
:15:21. > :15:23.luck message to British athletes competing at the Rio Olympics. That
:15:24. > :15:25.message delivered by none other than the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:15:38. > :15:42.graffiti artist has created the country's largest mural in downtown
:15:43. > :15:47.Rio de Janeiro, a project that took a year to complete, just in time for
:15:48. > :15:53.the Olympic Games. Rita Sharma went to meet Eduardo Cobra. I can't
:15:54. > :15:58.believe I was up there with you wearing white trousers. LAUGHTER
:15:59. > :16:02.But they are still clean! It looks amazing. How long did it take to do?
:16:03. > :16:28.TRANSLATION: This is my highlight, I'm about to
:16:29. > :16:35.spring on the largest mural done by this man. Thank you. I don't want to
:16:36. > :16:43.ruin it. Just here? We did it. High five. Thank you. I did it!
:16:44. > :16:52.This, here, is the Pentagon, where President Obama is expected to
:16:53. > :16:56.speak. It's about ... The fight against Islamic State and how the
:16:57. > :17:00.country is doing at the moment. It comes with a backdrop of the United
:17:01. > :17:04.States presidential race. And when it starts we'll go straight to it.
:17:05. > :17:08.As you'll see, the fact they've decided the Pentagon is symbolic.
:17:09. > :17:13.Many people talking about that. It's the second time this week, it's
:17:14. > :17:17.called the trappings of executive power, will provide President Obama
:17:18. > :17:22.a platform to field reporter questions. He will speak and, as you
:17:23. > :17:25.can see, a very full room. They expect the reporters to field
:17:26. > :17:29.questions. He may want to speak about Islamic State Buttler, to
:17:30. > :17:32.speak about that. It's expected the presidential race may then come
:17:33. > :17:40.centre stage after he makes the statement. Two things they'll be
:17:41. > :17:42.looking at when he talks about the administration's battle against
:17:43. > :17:48.Islamic State, Baghdad and also Mosul. Basically. And how the
:17:49. > :17:54.administration is working when it comes to trying to tackle so-called
:17:55. > :17:59.Islamic State, also known as Daesh. It is their time travelling to a
:18:00. > :18:03.facility here, the Pentagon, for an update on ICC has been briefed at
:18:04. > :18:08.the CIA headquarters, the State Department, and the Treasury. We can
:18:09. > :18:13.expect them to talk about taking back Mosul from Islamic State and we
:18:14. > :18:21.can expect them to talk about the security, how they might bolster it
:18:22. > :18:25.when it comes to Baghdad in Iraq. As we take a look, you can see the
:18:26. > :18:30.Pentagon flag of the United States flag. People scuttling around in the
:18:31. > :18:33.corner. As they wait for President Obama to come out. They generally
:18:34. > :18:41.give a couple of minutes warning. It was meant to start at 21:15pm,
:18:42. > :18:45.already at 21:48pm. They are five hours behind. A number of people
:18:46. > :18:54.coming out but none of them looks like US President Obama just yet.
:18:55. > :18:58.The press corps are there. Can they get some questions in? Donald Trump
:18:59. > :19:01.has managed to dominate the news agenda, we've spoken about it a
:19:02. > :19:06.number of times on Outside Source through the week and hope to speak
:19:07. > :19:11.to the BBC's Katty Kay as well. A couple of other issues to go back
:19:12. > :19:16.to... He is President Obama, I won't interrupt him, we'll crossover. I
:19:17. > :19:23.met in my national security council on the campaign to destroy Tim two.
:19:24. > :19:26.I want to thank Secretary Carter and chairman Dunford who returned from
:19:27. > :19:30.talks with our coalition partners in the Middle East, for hosting us, and
:19:31. > :19:35.for their continued leadership of our men and women in uniform. I last
:19:36. > :19:39.updated the American people on our campaign in June, shortly after the
:19:40. > :19:44.horrifying attack in Orlando. In the weeks since we continued to be
:19:45. > :19:48.relentless in our fight against Isil, and on the ground in Syria and
:19:49. > :19:53.Iraq, Isil continues to lose territory. Tragically, however,
:19:54. > :19:57.we've also seen Isil still has the ability to direct and inspire
:19:58. > :20:04.attacks. We've seen terrible bombings in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon,
:20:05. > :20:08.Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Afghanistan. Attacks on an Istanbul airport. A
:20:09. > :20:14.restaurant in Bangladesh. Bastille Day celebrations and a church in
:20:15. > :20:19.France, and a music festival in Germany. In fact, the decline of
:20:20. > :20:25.Isil in Syria and Iraq appears to be causing it to shift to tactics that
:20:26. > :20:28.we've seen before, even greater emphasis on encouraging high profile
:20:29. > :20:33.terrorist attacks, including in the United States. As always, our
:20:34. > :20:36.military, diplomatic intelligence, Homeland Security and law
:20:37. > :20:39.enforcement professionals are working around the clock with other
:20:40. > :20:43.countries and communities here at home to share information and
:20:44. > :20:49.prevent such attacks. Over the years they have prevented many. As we've
:20:50. > :20:54.seen it is still difficult to detect and prevent lone actors or small
:20:55. > :20:58.cells of terrorists determined to kill the innocent, and are willing
:20:59. > :21:03.to die. That's why, as we discussed today, we will keep going after Isil
:21:04. > :21:08.aggressively across every front in this campaign. Our air campaign
:21:09. > :21:14.continues to hammer Isil targets, more than 14,000 strikes so far.
:21:15. > :21:21.More than 100,000 sorties, including those hitting the Isil corps in
:21:22. > :21:27.Raqqa and Mosul. In stark contrast to Isil who uses forces as human
:21:28. > :21:33.shields, US forces will do everything in our power to avoid
:21:34. > :21:36.civilian casualties. We're conducting the most precise air
:21:37. > :21:41.campaign in history. After all, if the innocent civilians of Syria and
:21:42. > :21:47.Iran who are suffering the most. And, who needs to be saved from
:21:48. > :21:51.Isil's terror. When there are allegations of civilian casualties,
:21:52. > :21:54.be taken very seriously. We work to find the facts, to be transparent,
:21:55. > :22:00.and to hold ourselves accountable for better in future. We continue to
:22:01. > :22:06.take out senior Isil leaders and commanders. This includes Isil's
:22:07. > :22:14.Deputy Minister of War. A top commander in Mosul. And in yet
:22:15. > :22:21.another significant loss for Isil, it is Minister of War. None of

:23:01. > :23:06.logistical hub and launch pad for Iraqi forces as they push into
:23:07. > :23:10.Mosul. In Syria a coalition of local forces backed by our special
:23:11. > :23:14.operations forces and air strikes continues to take the fight to Isil
:23:15. > :23:21.as well. The coalition is fighting its way into the town which is a
:23:22. > :23:24.gateway for Isil fighters coming in and terrorists heading out to attack
:23:25. > :23:28.Europe, which is why Isil is fighting hard to hold it. As Isil is
:23:29. > :23:33.beaten back, we're gaining vast amount of intelligence, documents by
:23:34. > :23:37.thumb drives, digital files, which we will use to keep destroying
:23:38. > :23:42.Isil's networks and stop foreign fighters. We continue to intensify
:23:43. > :23:45.efforts against Al-Qaeda in Syria, which no matter what name it calls
:23:46. > :23:52.itself cannot be allowed to maintain safe haven to train and plot attacks
:23:53. > :23:56.against us. I want to step back and note the broader progress made in
:23:57. > :24:02.this campaign so far. Two years ago Isil was racing across Iraq to the
:24:03. > :24:06.outskirts of Baghdad itself and many observers thought Isil looked
:24:07. > :24:18.invincible. In Iraq Isil has lost since then, at a dam, at Tikrit, at
:24:19. > :24:27.Sinjar, Ron Mahdi and now Falluja. In Syria it has lost at Urbani, a
:24:28. > :24:33.damp and I'll should added. Tim two has lost
:24:34. > :24:40.nearly all major transit routes into Raqqa. In Iraq and Syria Isil hasn't
:24:41. > :24:45.been able to reclaim any significant territory they have lost. I want to
:24:46. > :24:51.repeat, Isil has not had a major success for offensive operation in
:24:52. > :24:55.either Syria or Iraq in a full year. Even Isil leaders know they will
:24:56. > :25:01.keep losing. Their message to followers, they acknowledge they may
:25:02. > :25:05.lose Mosul and Raqqa. Isil is right, they will lose them. We'll keep it
:25:06. > :25:10.in them, pushing them back, driving them out until they do. In other
:25:11. > :25:15.words, Isil turns out not to be invincible. They are, in fact,
:25:16. > :25:19.inevitably going to be defeated. But we do recognise that the same time
:25:20. > :25:23.the situation is complex. This cannot be solved by military force
:25:24. > :25:27.alone. It's why last month the united states and countries around
:25:28. > :25:31.the world pledged more than $2 billion in new funds to help Iraqis
:25:32. > :25:35.stabilise and rebuild communities. It white we're working with Iraq,
:25:36. > :25:39.said the military campaign to liberate modal is matched with
:25:40. > :25:43.humanitarian and political efforts to protect civilians and promote
:25:44. > :25:46.inclusive governance and development, so Isil cannot return
:25:47. > :25:53.by exploiting divisions or grievances. In Syria, as I've
:25:54. > :25:57.repeatedly said, defeating Isil and Al-Qaeda requires an end to the
:25:58. > :26:00.civil war and the Assad regime's brutality against the Syrian people
:26:01. > :26:08.which pushes people into the arms of extremists. STUDIO: President Obama

:26:13. > :26:19.of successes, as he sees them, against Islamic State. One also to
:26:20. > :26:24.keep is for Iraq and Syria, as he continues to speak, and point out
