Hello, welcome back to outside source. Russia will not be allowed

to compete at the Paralympic games in Rio, after the Court of

Arbitration for Sport rejected his appeal, against the decision. Team

GB arrived back from the Olympics with their medals today, the most

successful games for Great Britain in over a century. We will go live

to Washington shortly, President Obama has been facing some criticism

for not ending his vacation early to visit that on Rouge which is

suffering severe flooding. He did go there today, but was it soon enough?

What is the best film so far of the 21st-century? The BBC asked lots of

critics, you may find, their answers surprising.

Let us get more on the Olympics now. Lots of happy homecoming is for

Olympians all around the world. Let us jump around the globe for a few

minutes. The South African team flew into Johannesburg to a fantastic

welcome and plenty to be proud of. Ten medals in total including goals

for the 800 metres sensation Castres are many and the world

record-breaking triumph for the men's 100 meters. Of course showing

off the medals as well. They showed him front and centre. Let us move

over to Frankfurt, that is the destination for their Olympic team,

celebrating 42 medals across 19th. Meeting in a very grand Hall indeed.

Shall we go to France, let us cross over to Paris, and President

Hollande was meeting the French athletes after they arrived home.

Taking a cue selfie is as I think you have seen, the nation is where

the athletes are. They might stay it looks like in Paris. And crossover,

last but not least, to Venezuela where the athletes were honoured

with a parade. The presidential palace in Caracas, three medals in

Rio leaving them 65th. It is interesting to see how everyone

celebrates. Don't worry, we have not forgotten Team GB. Plenty of

excitement in London. 300 members of Great Britain's Olympic team arrived

at Heathrow Airport, it is quite a sight.

It arrived carrying a haul of precious metal from Rio, the plane

that they renamed victorious. CHANTING

God Save The Queen 11 hour flight was plenty to celebrate. And plenty

of time for Max Whitlock to show off some of the skills that brought

gold, these are the moments to cherish for Team GB. They are a team

that took on the world and one. You sense this will take a while to sink

in for Britain's athletes, they returned home having made history, a

record 67 medals, bass more than London 2012, that success has

created a whole host of new stars. After winning the hearts of the

country today, they returned to their loved ones. And there was much

to catch up on, once they found the right one, team colours have made

that a bit tricky. On social media, it is not until you get back here.

That you realise. It was a superb team performance sparked by one man,

Adam Peaty, the sum of who won Britain's first medal in the games

and in some style. He is still coming to terms with what he has

achieved. I can't put into words how much it meant to meet to get the

first medal, the world record and achieve a childhood dream. To give

that kind of a mentor and to the rest of the team is completely

priceless. Hopefully we can do the same in Tokyo. It would be amazing,

hopefully an amazing game. Even for more experienced heads, it was an

Olympics first. Katherine Grainger became the first British woman, to

win five medals in separate games. But this was special. That

excitement you could feel, it was so tangible that this performance could

make a difference to the nation. And I think for that reason, it was a

challenge that no nation has ever done. Second in the medals table.

And you think, it is hard to argue. For many of these returning athletes

there lies are changed forever for their success in Rio. Although some

things are more precious than gold. STUDIO: Incredibly heart-warming

scenes at the airport, they are all travelling together. Let us move on

from the UK to the United States, President Obama has touched down in

bat on Rouge. This is 1.5 weeks after flooding killed 13 people and

forced thousands from their homes. The president has had quite a lot of

criticism for not visiting the area sooner. The Republican nominee for

president said, said, that: now the President's team hits back

at claims on Tuesday, that his visit was a publicity stunt in a press

conference just a short time ago. What I want people in Louisiana to

know that you are not alone on this, even after the TV cameras leave. The

whole country is going to continue to support you and help you until we

get folks back in their homes, and lives are rebuilt. The reason I can

say that with confidence is because that is what Americans do at times

like this. Let us return to our correspondent in Washington. It is

good to have you back with us. Is the criticism fair? The governor of

Louisiana who is a Democrat has fallen on his sword slightly for

this, he asked President Obama not to go immediately because when the

president arrives there is a huge amount of security and logistics,

time and effort and personal taken up with a presidential visit of any

type and the Governor said that we just couldn't cope with a

presidential visit and it wouldn't have been helpful Indymedia

aftermath of the flooding and we were the ones who asked him to

delay. The White House is saying that the president himself said when

he was in Louisiana that he's not too worried about the politics of

this, what matters to people is effective government, it is not

about political campaigning. Donald Trump did go down a number of days

ago on Friday, does that give him, a little bit more leveraged when he is

hurling criticism over the political aisle? Yes certainly for him to be

able to show photographs of him down there in bat on Rouge -- in bat on

Rouge with his presidential candidacy, makes him look like a

presidential candidate and he can criticise, and it is worth noting

that in 2012, both Mitt Romney who was running for presidency and

President Obama who was running for re-election did go down to the area

when it was flooding is back then. Clearly President Obama not facing

real election and didn't feel that he needed to get their quite so

quickly. And President Obama's team saying that it is not political but

of course it is, if we look back to 2005 and hurricane Katrina, many

people thought it was one of the lowest points of his presidential

term? You are right, everybody remembers hurricane Katrina, the

devastation that it caused, and everybody remembers the impact that

it had on President Bush's presidency. You can read date the

time when President Bush's approval rating starts declining to hurricane

Katrina and the fact that he took the famous helicopter flight over

the region but did not go down to the region and then seemed to make

light of the recovery efforts. And it really didn't serve him very

well. I think what the White House would say is not nearly so many

people died in this flooding, it was very bad flooding with tens of

thousands of people evacuated. At the number of deaths is 12 people,

compared to far higher numbers, and they would say that the urgency,

immediately they felt it wasn't their hand the governor said it

wouldn't be useful at the moment. Thank you for speaking to us from

Washington, DC. In a couple of minutes time, we will be reporting

in Lake Como, the latest place where migrants are gathering as they make

their way from Southern to northern Europe.

A row has broken out between the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and

Virgin Trains on an overcrowded service, a Labour team, found Mr

Corbyn sitting on a floor but Virgin Trains says that it is different.

Crouching on the floor of a Virgin Trains, this was his claim. Today

this train is completely rammed pact, the staff on the train

operatives working rehired to help everybody had the reality is there

is not enough trains and we need more of them. And they'll say

incredibly expensive. Is that not a good case for public ownership? The

video was recorded on the 11am departure on August 11, days later,

his filmed corridor complaint was released but now Virgin Trains has

hit back, releasing CCTV pictures that the company says shows there

were seats available. According to Virgin Trains, seven minutes into

the journey, he walked past several unreserved seats, he also walked

past a number of reserves but empty seats a minute later. Then at 1143

he returned to coach H with on-board crew and took a seat but according

to the company that was after he had walked to the end of the train, sat

on the floor and recorded his video. In a statement by Richard Branson

and Virgin Trains, they say: the company said it knows it can be

hard to find seats on its east and west coast services and Jeremy

Corbyn is not the first commuter to complain of overcrowding but it is

the suggestion of deception to make a political point that could be

damaging. Jeremy Corbyn, the champion of a nationalised airway

has been taken by a private train operator but Mr Corbin's team insist

that Virgin Trains have got this wrong, and that when they first

boarded the train there were no free unreserved seats available so they

like others had to wait for some to become free. This was they said a

ram pact train. There was luggage reserve serving the seeds, some

children who might not be able to see over the back of the seat. I was

there, there were simply no seats available on the train and that is

why he sat on the floor for the first part of the journey. Owen

Smith tried to make mileage out of this row, saying that his own

campaign remained on track. This is outside source live from the

BBC newsroom, our lead story. Russia will not be allowed to compete at

the Paralympic Games in Rio after Court of Arbitration for Sport

rejected its appeal against the decision, the games begin in just

over two weeks' time. I want to return perhaps, to the migrant

crisis in Europe, hundreds of migrants are sleeping rough around

Italy's Lake Como. The Swiss authorities tightened restrictions

on border crossings, Lake Como is ready just on the border between

Italy and Switzerland. And most of the migrants have travelled across

Italy basically coming up from the south after being rescued in the

Mediterranean by EU vessels. Paul Adams reports from there.

For decades this place has been known as a playground for the rich

and famous, tourists flock here all summer, but now Lake Como is the

latest bottleneck on Europe's migrant Trail. Away from the glamour

of the lake, what you find, this park close to the railway station

has become over the course of the summer, a refugee camp. Hundreds and

hundreds of people are sleeping here every night. They are being fed by

the charities, it is a pretty miserable existence. And this is the

station, this is why everyone is here. It is here that you can catch

a train to Switzerland which is just up the way. Hundreds of people are

here, all trying to do the same thing. Many staying here night after

night. And so they try and they try again and they are getting more and

more frustrated. I have tried to war three times. They sent me back. From

Italy. But I don't know, I don't know what is going on. For Italy, I

cannot stay outside sleeping, you know? For now, I don't want to try

any more, so I have just taken the short train

ride from Italy, to here in Italy in Switzerland. This is the journey

that the migrants have been trying to take, some of them many times. --

Italy to Switzerland. We can see that the police are waiting here.

Switch off? We are back on the train, while we were there, the

Swiss police didn't want us filming anything but they took that small

group of migrants down the platform to be processed and sent back to

Italy. We have customs officers, calling to the Italian police in

Lake Como, asking them, please can you stop? This is a violation of the

convention. The last people to sleeping every night on the platform

itself, some of them are willing to get on the train. But they know what

is going to happen on the other end. The Swiss authorities will be there,

and yet they stay there hoping that one of these days the rules will

change. John Kerry has praised Nigeria's

recent thing against Boko Haram and warns them that they could be a

backlash against excessive force. This is their third visit in less

than two years. This report contains some flash photography.

A symbol of ordinary relations team United States and Nigeria, your

sexual state John Kerry, met spiritual leaders stash at the US

Secretary of State. He praised the efforts to build peace. He also

warned against the dangers of only a military approach to Qatar

terrorism. It is understandable that in the wake of terrorist activities

some people are tempted to crack down on everyone and anyone who

could theoretically pose some sort of threat. I caution against that

today. Extremism cannot be defeated through repression. Or just creating

fear. The Nigerian military claims to have killed several commanders of

the Islamist militants Boko Haram and seriously wounded its disputed

leader. However this is far from the first time that the military claimed

to have killed him. In his private talks with President Mohamed Morsi

read, in the presidential villa, it is thought that Mr Kerry will not

only talk about counterterrorism. Nigeria's struggling economy and the

endemic corruption issues are expected to be on the agenda. With

the US elections in November, this may well be one of the very last

visits by a senior US official to Nigeria although Boko Haram has lost

ground recently. The group remains a threat to the country. A threat that

the US administration whoever might be in charge next, cannot fully

ignore. When you think of the best movies of

all time, BBC culture set out on a mission to prove that similar art is

not dead in the 21st century. -- Cinema is not dead. We have the top

five for you. Dealing in fifth place, the best picture in the

Academy Awards, was boyhood. In fourth place, it was spirited away.

Third, he is, there will be blood. That was Daniel Day Lewis starring

in it. Second place, in the mood for Love, a Chinese film. And the best

film of the 21st century according to these film critics, is this one,

which is the mysterious trauma, Mulholland Drive. -- mysterious

drama. We expect how this is different to most of the best of

lists. You look at Casablanca and others, but most of the audience

haven't seen them, and don't kill so strongly about them. Asking what are

the films of now have been a great exercise and people have got very

excited, and a great debate. I thought it was very interesting that

you decided to encapsulated in the 21st-century although it was in

2015? To get a good few things you need to take in some period of time,

remember celebrations of the millennium. The 31st of December

1999 and we won two to look at what are the best movies of that time. I

have seen some of the movies, I had to say that I did like boyhood, they

didn't actually get the Oscar award in that year. But some of them when

I looked down. There was no Harry Potter, a lot of the blockbusters

were missing. You think it is skewed towards a certain audience? I don't

think it is any surprise that the critics don't like the popcorn

blockbusters. Where is Harry Potter and Lord of the rings? Those two

will add the box office but not well with the critics. They watch a lot

of movies and they go to the sin are three times a day so they have seen

a lot of movies and I think that their opinions are worth listening

to -- they go to the cinema three times a day. Let us get to

Mulholland Drive for a moment, when I was reading back some of the

reviews, it says baffling and mesmerising, a lot of people did not

understand it. How can it be a favourite movie? Often, people say

it is we're just for the sake of it. That is the whole point of it. I

member I saw it as a student, we argued about what it is about. But I

think we got it wrong, it is not a crossword puzzle and it is better to

sit back and enjoy the weirdness of it. You tell me your favourite? My

favourite film was not on the top 100, it is the piano teacher. I

favourite film that made it onto the list was Margaret.

In the last couple of minutes, to you, where a two-year-old boy has

become an Internet sensation. Tags to photos taken by his dad. It has

taken on a deeper meaning, that has made in a star in social media. And

talking about the issues that it means. Flying means you are not

burdened by something. It is that bigotry and, what if we could fly?

-- that big dream. My name is Alan Lawrence and I am a photographer and

a father of six kids. We'll is my two-year-old son, and he is my

second youngest. When I originally found that we'll had Down's

syndrome, I struggled with it. As I started thinking more about these

flying pictures of him, I ready started to recognise that there was

a deeper meaning to these pictures, understanding that he was a blessing

to the family. Monday I had the idea of taking him out to the yard and a

composite photo. And using photo shop. I would mask myself out of the

photo so it looked like he was just lying on his own. I decided to push

the photo is a bit more and I started posting them to the

Instagram account, using the hashtag Down's syndrome and it took off from

there. We joke that he knows that he is a celebrity because when we are

out in public he is always saying hi and trying to shake people's hands

and we joked that it is his celebrity status that makes them

feel that way. For anyone else who is just starting down this journey,

I would say, understanding that it is not going to be easy but it is

going to be worth it is a big part of it. He is teaching us, even at a

very small age, to be patient, how to be non-judgemental, had to be

unconditional in our love. We know that he has down syndrome and he

will be able to put anything that he put his mind to and that he will fly

and that he can fly. Aren't they beautiful? Goodbye from all of us.
