:00:18. > :00:21.The Great Britain team saw off South Africa's in the semi's today
:00:22. > :00:23.and they will meet Fiji who beat Japan.
:00:24. > :00:26.Fiji guaranteed to get their first ever Olympic medal.
:00:27. > :00:28.The UN is investigating reports of a chlorine gas attack
:00:29. > :00:33.The BBC has seen exclusive pictures of women and children in respirators

:00:40. > :00:47.The US State department says it is extremely concerned.
:00:48. > :00:49.And Hilary Clinton lays out her economic plans -
:00:50. > :00:56.while her Republican opponent Donald Trump describes
:00:57. > :01:02.President Obama as the "founder of the Islamic State group".
:01:03. > :01:06.we always welcome your thoughts. If you want to get in touch, that is
:01:07. > :01:20.the address. Day 6 of the Olympic Games
:01:21. > :01:23.now well underway - things get started at
:01:24. > :01:27.the Velodrome tonight - big hopes there for Team GB -
:01:28. > :01:30.and the rowing was back on today More on those results in a moment,
:01:31. > :01:34.but let's have a look This is what it is looking
:01:35. > :01:50.like at the moment. You will see the United States at
:01:51. > :01:57.the top there, China following and Japan in third place. Great Britain
:01:58. > :02:02.in the hunt for a medal in the sevens rugby tonight. Strong
:02:03. > :02:07.possibility of a gold medal tonight. It is speedy's first appearance in a
:02:08. > :02:09.sevens rugby final because it is the first time they have appeared at the
:02:10. > :02:21.Olympics and they could also get their first Olympic medal. You
:02:22. > :02:25.mentioned Fiji, they are guaranteed a historic first Olympic medal after
:02:26. > :02:30.their men's rugby sevens team secured a place in the final where
:02:31. > :02:33.they will meet Team GB. Fiji shouldn't be a surprise, they wear
:02:34. > :02:38.their pretournament favourites and they demonstrated it by beating
:02:39. > :02:47.Japan by 20 points- five in the first semifinal. You will recall
:02:48. > :02:52.that Japan read -- beat New Zealand earlier in the tournament. It is
:02:53. > :03:01.down to Great Britain and South Africa to decide who would be Fiji's
:03:02. > :03:10.opponent. Britain came back from a shaky first half. The final is
:03:11. > :03:14.coming up in a few hours' time. The rowing, Katherine Grainger, and
:03:15. > :03:19.Victoria Thornley, particularly Katherine Grainger, the first woman
:03:20. > :03:25.to win five Olympic medals. Plenty of excitement at the rowing regatta,
:03:26. > :03:31.not least in that thrilling final of the women's double sculls. Let's
:03:32. > :03:36.mention the race winners, it was eventually won by the Polish pair.
:03:37. > :03:39.They had to come from behind to secure a narrow victory over Great
:03:40. > :03:46.Britain who had led for much of the race. Incidentally, Poland's first
:03:47. > :03:49.gold of the Rio games. But Katherine Grainger, one half of the British
:03:50. > :03:55.pair, the silver for her in that race. It makes the nation's most
:03:56. > :04:00.decorated female Olympian. She has won medals at last five Olympics
:04:01. > :04:09.dating back to Sydney in the year 2000. And some sparkling golf.
:04:10. > :04:17.Several of the men's leading golfers opting to miss out on the Olympics
:04:18. > :04:25.amid fears of the zika virus. There were some famous faces, not least,
:04:26. > :04:36.Justin Rose who managed a hole in one. Their big name in Rio is also
:04:37. > :04:41.Henrik Stenson. He has five under par, three shots off the lead which
:04:42. > :04:45.is held by Marcus Fraser, an Australian, on an impressive eight
:04:46. > :04:51.under par. We will catch up with you a little later. Samora results,
:04:52. > :04:55.let's talk about the tennis. Andy Murray has reached the quarterfinals
:04:56. > :05:00.in the men's singles. He had a bit of a scare against is Italian
:05:01. > :05:07.opponent. He will mean the American Steve Johnston in the next round.
:05:08. > :05:13.Elsewhere, in the kayaking, David Florence and Richard Hounslow took
:05:14. > :05:19.gold for Britain. You can keep up-to-date with all the events live
:05:20. > :05:22.as they happen on our website, you can get live updates on each event
:05:23. > :05:42.and find out the latest news across the games.
:05:43. > :05:49.Another security scare, tell us about it and what the authorities
:05:50. > :05:56.have been saying. Yesterday here in Rio, three security agents from the
:05:57. > :06:01.National security force, three soldiers, took a wrong turn into one
:06:02. > :06:06.of the favelas and were met by drug dealers. They run into a group of
:06:07. > :06:11.drug lords and were shot at. One of them shot in the head, had to
:06:12. > :06:16.undergo surgery and is in a serious condition in hospital. This has
:06:17. > :06:21.reinforced the issue of security here in Rio and the fact there are
:06:22. > :06:24.no go areas in the city. How divided the city is. You have
:06:25. > :06:28.reinforcements, heavy reinforcement all over areas where the areas are
:06:29. > :06:35.that you have this situation in Rio's favelas shantytowns where you
:06:36. > :06:40.have areas dominated by drug trafficking, drug lords and even
:06:41. > :06:47.police cannot go in these areas safely. The security around this
:06:48. > :06:52.area is being reinforced, which of course, means people are not able to
:06:53. > :06:58.go in. They have blocked the entrance is so other people won't
:06:59. > :07:03.take the same wrong turn that these security agents did. This reinforces
:07:04. > :07:07.the concern about security. This comes after another incident where a
:07:08. > :07:14.bus with journalists was, the windows were shattered. It wasn't
:07:15. > :07:19.clear at first if it was a gunshot or rocks. Organisers of the Olympics
:07:20. > :07:26.say the bus was under attack by rocks and now all the buses taking
:07:27. > :07:33.journalists will be escorted by police to avoid any such attacks.
:07:34. > :07:37.One or two headaches for the authorities. One or two headaches
:07:38. > :07:40.for the management of the Brazilian men's football team because they've
:07:41. > :07:43.not been performing very well and I am reading that everyone is turning
:07:44. > :07:52.their attention to the women's football. Yes, the men of Brazil's
:07:53. > :07:56.football team had been very heavily criticised because they hadn't
:07:57. > :08:03.managed to score once in the first two matches. They had played Iraq,
:08:04. > :08:09.South Africa, both matches were 0-0. They vanish to redeem themselves a
:08:10. > :08:13.bit yesterday. The score against Denmark was 4-0, but it has been
:08:14. > :08:16.very much the talk here that people have turned their support from the
:08:17. > :08:20.men's football to the women's football because of the poor
:08:21. > :08:24.performance that the men were having. This even became a joke with
:08:25. > :08:38.people on the Internet posting pictures of the Brazilian Jersey
:08:39. > :08:45.with Neymar's name on the back. Scratching out his name and writing
:08:46. > :08:50.the name of Marta. She is the captain of the team, she is very
:08:51. > :08:57.experienced and she is the hero of women's football and now the
:08:58. > :09:01.Olympics. Women's football often suffers complaints that they don't
:09:02. > :09:05.get enough attention, but now this situation has been inverted and it
:09:06. > :09:11.will depend on how the men perform from now on to see if they can get
:09:12. > :09:12.back into the Spotlight. Pressure on Neymar and the gang, let's see how
:09:13. > :09:16.Marta gets on. The United Nations says it's
:09:17. > :09:22.investigating evidence of a chlorine gas
:09:23. > :09:39.attack in the besieged Broadly speaking, the purple areas
:09:40. > :09:44.are rebel areas and the blue areas government control. You can see they
:09:45. > :09:49.are surrounding each other in a mutual stranglehold. The gas attack,
:09:50. > :09:53.if it did happen, would be a war crime and would be considered as
:09:54. > :09:58.such by the UN. The Syrian government has denied involvement.
:09:59. > :10:00.The BBC has obtained exclusive pictures
:10:01. > :10:04.Quentin Sommerville sent this report a warning,
:10:05. > :10:05.it contains some disturbing images from the start.
:10:06. > :10:09.The battle for Aleppo is a desperate struggle,
:10:10. > :10:20.Last night, what appears to have been a chemical attack on the people
:10:21. > :10:25.As the hospital struggled to help, there was even worse to come.
:10:26. > :10:43.When chlorine gas gets inside small lungs, it can do terrible damage.
:10:44. > :10:53.Children and babies are especially vulnerable.
:10:54. > :10:57.When the rocket exploded, we smelt gas, my eyes
:10:58. > :11:03.I had difficulty breathing, it was a horrible smell,
:11:04. > :11:09.After a gas attack, clothing is removed and patients are washed
:11:10. > :11:16.The medics here at this hospital have had training from British
:11:17. > :11:18.doctors in dealing with chemical attacks.
:11:19. > :11:22.They know what to look for and how to react.
:11:23. > :11:31.We received lots of injuries, about 30 minutes ago.
:11:32. > :11:35.The injuries were caused by chlorine attacks in the area.
:11:36. > :11:38.When we checked the injured, we saw it was from chloride
:11:39. > :11:48.It's hurting me a lot, says this boy.
:11:49. > :11:51.The doctors tell him, we will have to wash it out
:11:52. > :11:58.This neighbourhood was hit by as many as four
:11:59. > :12:01.barrel bombs from regime helicopters, say eyewitnesses.
:12:02. > :12:04.The remains of shells were taken away for analysis.
:12:05. > :12:08.President Assad's troops are under pressure and losing
:12:09. > :12:13.Despite evidence to the contrary, the regime has denied
:12:14. > :12:17.The attacks come at night, because people can't see
:12:18. > :12:27.It's a desperate tactic and it's horribly effective.
:12:28. > :12:29.A mother and two children were killed in this attack
:12:30. > :12:41.Quentin Sommerville, BBC News, Beirut.
:12:42. > :12:44.The Ukrainian President has today put his army on the highest level
:12:45. > :12:47.That's after Russia accused Ukraine of armed incursions
:12:48. > :12:50.The peninsula was annexed by Russia in 2014 after
:12:51. > :12:53.Russia says two of its security personnel were killed
:12:54. > :13:08.This was the warning from the Kremlin today
:13:09. > :13:11."We would like to warn Kiev and its patrons that the damage
:13:12. > :13:13.caused to Russia and the death of Russian military servicemen
:13:14. > :13:17.Ukraine says Russia is making false accusations as a pretext for more
:13:18. > :13:36.Ukraine never thought to solve any issues with Russia by military
:13:37. > :13:39.means. Instead, this was called as a fake provocation by the Russian
:13:40. > :13:40.federation. Several days before
:13:41. > :13:48.these allegations were pictures like this -
:13:49. > :13:51.allegedly showing Russian military equipment being moved into Crimea
:13:52. > :13:55.began popping up on social media. This video was posted online
:13:56. > :13:57.by the Crimean Human Rights group. It shows what is believed to be
:13:58. > :14:02.Russian military trucks moving through the Crimean town
:14:03. > :14:04.of Kerch on 6th August. The BBC believes these
:14:05. > :14:08.pictures are genuine. which reportedly shows Russian
:14:09. > :14:15.military hardware arriving on a train into the town of Kerch -
:14:16. > :14:26.again on 6th August. A little earlier I spoke
:14:27. > :14:29.about all this to Alexander Kan from BBC Russian, and our defence
:14:30. > :14:41.and diplomatic correspondent Russian Ukrainian relations is so
:14:42. > :14:46.much more important for Moscow, President Putin, in the sort of
:14:47. > :14:54.domestic view than the incident and situation in Syria. That has been
:14:55. > :14:58.moved somehow into the backyard of the national attention even though
:14:59. > :15:05.it remains very intense. The sooner something like what has happened in
:15:06. > :15:09.Crimea happens, the focus goes there. Syria goes to the background.
:15:10. > :15:14.Surveying are not mutually exclusive because maybe he wants to push the
:15:15. > :15:25.Syria picture into the background. -- so they are not. This is
:15:26. > :15:30.potentially so dangerous for the fragile peace that has existed since
:15:31. > :15:35.February 2015 between Russia and Ukraine, and the tension now is as
:15:36. > :15:39.high as it has been ever since then. Very little detail. Tell me what
:15:40. > :15:43.Russian television showing of these servicemen that were reportedly
:15:44. > :15:50.killed. Our day trying to convince the Russian public there was this
:15:51. > :15:55.incursion. -- how are they trying. They are saying there was an
:15:56. > :16:02.incursion in two Crimea which is now considered as Russian territory and
:16:03. > :16:07.they are showing ammunition, weaponry, they are showing that this
:16:08. > :16:13.was indeed saboteurs who in crouched on their territory and they caught
:16:14. > :16:22.one person. A Ukrainian citizen. They claim he is a servicemen of the
:16:23. > :16:25.Ukrainian military. If we were to believe what the Ukrainian side is
:16:26. > :16:30.saying, there are to area motives for this and we might point to
:16:31. > :16:39.Parliamentary elections coming up, perhaps, what might those motives
:16:40. > :16:43.be? Clearly, Mr Putin wants to reassert, re-affirmed his position.
:16:44. > :16:47.I think we need to know why he should necessarily want to raise
:16:48. > :16:52.tensions now. Clearly, if there were to be a major Russian military
:16:53. > :16:58.onslaught again, it would not go down well in Europe. Remember in
:16:59. > :17:04.Europe, which has enacted significant economic sanctions in
:17:05. > :17:08.Russia, Europe has a lot of other problems on its hands, Brexit,
:17:09. > :17:13.migration crisis and so on. While Mr Putin may want to put all that in
:17:14. > :17:17.play again, the difficulty is as I understand it, you still have a
:17:18. > :17:21.significant niche military capabilities for the pro-Russian
:17:22. > :17:25.Rebels in eastern Ukraine being provided by the Russian military.
:17:26. > :17:29.Those Russian Rebels have undertaken quite significant amounts of
:17:30. > :17:35.training over recent months. It is quite clear and I think that is one
:17:36. > :17:40.of the problems throughout, they could mount something through their
:17:41. > :17:45.rebel allies assisted through their own forces from a standing start. It
:17:46. > :17:50.doesn't need to make on boys of vehicles to sound a warning note.
:17:51. > :17:56.Whether this is all smoke rather than fire, theatrics, an attempt to
:17:57. > :17:57.influence the mood rather than the practical situation on the ground
:17:58. > :18:15.remains to be seen. I told you the velodrome was
