:01:57. > :01:58.from all Paralympic activity. That means they will not be able
:01:59. > :02:00.to send athletes to Rio Our reporter Chris McLaughlin
:02:01. > :02:16.was at the press conference today What exactly was said? Well, it's a
:02:17. > :02:21.decision we were expecting, but when the confirmation came with guilt
:02:22. > :02:30.felt like it was pretty huge. Russia will take no part in the Paralympic
:02:31. > :02:35.Games here in Rio. It is strongly that you that the Russian Paralympic
:02:36. > :02:43.committee is currently unable to ensure compliance with and
:02:44. > :02:51.enforcement of the IPC's anti-doping code within its own national
:02:52. > :02:57.jurisdiction. Therefore, it cannot fulfil its fundamental obligations
:02:58. > :03:00.as an IPC member, and as a result, we have resolved to suspend the
:03:01. > :03:10.Russian Paralympic committee with immediate effect. Sir Philip Craven
:03:11. > :03:14.went on to describe how he has had sleepless nights thinking about this
:03:15. > :03:23.decision, but the decision is fact -based. They were 45 sample
:03:24. > :03:29.tampering examples uncovered, and after the McLaren report, he says
:03:30. > :03:34.it's a decision placing a huge burden on the IPC. He says the
:03:35. > :03:41.Russian anti-doping system is corrupt. He said, it disgusts me,
:03:42. > :03:46.and he says if we start slacking on this great threat in the future of
:03:47. > :03:52.the sport is in jeopardy. This is without anyone athlete, this is
:03:53. > :04:03.about a sport. Now Todd Nicholson has set that Russia has used its
:04:04. > :04:07.athletes like pawns. What's it like the Paralympic community regarding
:04:08. > :04:14.the news? It's probably worth pointing out that Russia have a root
:04:15. > :04:17.of appeal. 21 days to lodge and have an appeal heard by the Court of

:05:24. > :05:31.There is around one hour to go, and I have to say, watching her this
:05:32. > :05:36.morning, she looked very focused, very assertive, definitely no
:05:37. > :05:41.smiles. Yesterday, with the British team, we saw them joking and having
:05:42. > :05:46.a laugh and looking quite relaxed. Obviously, it didn't work for them
:05:47. > :05:52.in the end, but very different for her today. The build-up for her has
:05:53. > :05:55.been horrendous. Initially, she was having a fantastic season, she is
:05:56. > :06:01.the initial world champion in the road rage and she has been giving
:06:02. > :06:06.It is mountainous, not suited It is mountainous, not suited
:06:07. > :06:15.necessarily to her talents. She won in London, and then came the drama
:06:16. > :06:18.over those three missed tests. The first should have been struck from
:06:19. > :06:23.the record because the doping officer hadn't followed procedure.
:06:24. > :06:30.She was free to come here and compete but at what cost to hire
:06:31. > :06:34.reputation? And some fellow Olympians have waded in saying, if
:06:35. > :06:39.she was Russian, what would we think? She then gave that very
:06:40. > :06:43.emotional interview, she says she knows now she will be forever
:06:44. > :06:47.tainted with this. That they are showing the race on the big screen
:06:48. > :06:55.and they are about to climb the hardest part of the course. That's
:06:56. > :06:58.where that dissent did that for so many of the riders, including Geron

:07:26. > :07:31.happens. Coverage of that on BBC run. -- one.
:07:32. > :07:34.High winds meant that today's rowing events were postponed.
:07:35. > :07:36.Team GB's Heather Stanning and Helen Glover were due to compete
:07:37. > :07:39.The weather initially caused a two-hour delay before

:07:43. > :07:44.Five time Olympic gold medallist Sir Steve Redgrave told
:07:45. > :07:48.John Inverdale that the venue is far from ideal.
:07:49. > :08:01.The Olympic Games isn't chosen on its course of prowess. It would be
:08:02. > :08:02.very unlikely that the rowing body would be cheating this venue to
:08:03. > :08:04.stage the World Championships. Our showpiece of four years
:08:05. > :08:09.is that we are in that situation where we got to deal
:08:10. > :08:11.with whatever we've got. We are an outdoor sport
:08:12. > :08:14.and that is affected by the weather. We have to deal with
:08:15. > :08:17.what we have to deal with. If you think these people
:08:18. > :08:20.are pampered rowers, then look at what the wind is doing
:08:21. > :08:34.to the markers. That's substantial, isn't it? When
:08:35. > :08:49.you are in a coxless boat you've got to try and steer round bends.

:09:11. > :09:14.It's unlikely anyone is going to have a serious problem out there,

:09:26. > :09:33.First ever Olympic that rowing was included in,
:09:34. > :09:34.and it was cancelled because the whole
:09:35. > :09:39.As things are standing, they are putting a lot of faith
:09:40. > :09:49.10.39am in the morning our time, so they must have very
:09:50. > :09:53.Going forward, if we lost a second day, how does this
:09:54. > :09:58.They would deal with the situation in hand.
:09:59. > :10:01.There are processes, but if you get to eight days in a row,
:10:02. > :10:03.you've only completed one day, the likelihood is that the whole
:10:04. > :10:14.William Fox-Pitt is the man leading Great Britian's charge for medals
:10:15. > :10:19.His is just one of several good performances so far at Rio from Team

:10:24. > :10:26.Lee, Funnell hasn't been at the Olympics for a long long
:10:27. > :10:28.time, but what a return to form for her...?
:10:29. > :10:35.It was fantastic to see her back. She was commentating for the BBC at
:10:36. > :10:39.London 2012 and she had considered whether she should keep going or
:10:40. > :10:44.not, but she was so inspired watching the athletes that she
:10:45. > :10:50.decided to keep going. The horse she is riding hit, well, he's a bit of a
:10:51. > :10:55.tricky one. She called him the village idiot which is a bit harsh.
:10:56. > :11:01.Her husband is a very successful show-jumper and she didn't think the
:11:02. > :11:09.horse had the paces, because an eventing horse really is a
:11:10. > :11:21.triathlete, cross-country, dressage and jumping. His owner, Carol, told
:11:22. > :11:25.papers you should try inventing, and sadly Carol passed away recently so
:11:26. > :11:47.she can't see how horse competing here. Like William, paper is a three
:11:48. > :11:51.times Olympic medallist. -- Pippa. We can expect Kitty in an she is the
:11:52. > :12:00.final rider to go. The cross-country starts tomorrow.
:12:01. > :12:03.In the pool, James Guy is safely through to tonight's semi-finals
:12:04. > :12:07.He missed out on a medal in last night's 400 metre final,
:12:08. > :12:10.despite leading after the first four lengths, but he got over that

:12:13. > :12:23.Guy is the reigning world champion over the 200 metre distance
:12:24. > :12:24.and he qualified for tonight's semi-final second

:13:10. > :13:13.round. He knocked his opponent to wrap up. It's been a good year for
:13:14. > :13:19.him. He won the bronze medal in the European Championships last year and
:13:20. > :13:26.then followed that up by winning in this arena. After the match, he told
:13:27. > :13:31.me he still wants more. I'm grateful for the win and glad my opponent is
:13:32. > :13:38.OK, but like I said, the aim is to get anyone out in front of me, to
:13:39. > :13:43.eliminate them by the knocking them out or getting the points off them.
:13:44. > :13:47.Talk me through it because you looked so determined when he walked
:13:48. > :13:52.into that arena. You meant business today. This is the biggest stage in
:13:53. > :13:56.the world and you got to impress people, look good, and I'm glad I
:13:57. > :14:05.came across that way. So, another good day for Great Britain. Three
:14:06. > :14:11.out of three of their boxers through, they can now add Joshua to
:14:12. > :14:16.this list. This is the biggest contingent they've had in the
:14:17. > :14:24.Olympics but three decades and they are on course for some medals. We
:14:25. > :14:26.will go to Rio later wrong, but now let's turn our attention is to some
:14:27. > :14:32.support -- sport close to home. AND England's cricketers now can't
:14:33. > :14:35.lose their series with Pakistan after going 2-1 up
:14:36. > :14:38.in their best of 4 series. It was a convincing victory,
:14:39. > :14:39.in the end with a Pakistan batting collapsed aiding

:14:58. > :15:06.morning to try to bowl Pakistan alt. A gift to Stuart Broad and England.
:15:07. > :15:15.To most eyes, this was a draw. Then Ali produced this sudden spin and
:15:16. > :15:27.capture from Cook. Everything now had to happen at a hurry and that's
:15:28. > :15:32.where Anderson is useful. This was fin's first in more than ten test
:15:33. > :15:41.deliveries. Pakistan in retreat. Where had this come from? The end
:15:42. > :15:44.came before half five. Match England could have lost and probably should
:15:45. > :15:49.have drawn that they have somehow managed to win. -- a match.
:15:50. > :15:51.It was smiles all around for Manchester United today
:15:52. > :15:54.as they won the Community Shield at Wembley with a 2-1 win over

:16:26. > :16:33.referring to the messy season which was abandoned. There was an air
:16:34. > :16:39.about some of the football today of preseason, Lingard likes to score at
:16:40. > :16:46.Wembley. He strode through the Leicester defence. Hats he played
:16:47. > :16:52.himself into Jose Mourinho's thoughts in the first half. 1-0 at
:16:53. > :16:59.half-time. Lester's equalising goal was a gift. Jamie Abadi far too
:17:00. > :17:09.sharp to miss out on those types of chances. We thought it may be
:17:10. > :17:16.penalties because Ibrahimovic hadn't done a lot but in the right time at
:17:17. > :17:23.-- in the right place at the right time. Morgan might be a bit this
:17:24. > :17:25.pointed with that. That second goal, Jose Mourinho said that was an
:17:26. > :17:31.example of the kind that what he wants to play. Gray was also
:17:32. > :17:39.playing, they were all lightning quick when you bring Vardy into it
:17:40. > :17:43.as well. And the saga to end all sagas seems
:17:44. > :17:46.to be close to a conclusion - there is news today regarding Paul
:17:47. > :17:53.Pogba... Well, it was confirmed before
:17:54. > :17:56.the game that Juventus have given Paul Pogba permission
:17:57. > :18:10.to have a medical United are prepared to pay 100
:18:11. > :18:13.million. Will it be worth it? I suppose, if they win the league and
:18:14. > :18:19.qualify for the Champions League, it will be worth it. Jose Mourinho said
:18:20. > :18:30.with a smile that after today's performance, that's Pogba will have
:18:31. > :18:39.to work to get into the team. But if you look at today's game, Pogba's
:18:40. > :18:46.energy and pace will be required. Jose Mourinho insisted anything was
:18:47. > :18:47.possible, and with all those long balls from Leicester being a bit too
:18:48. > :18:51.small. In the Scottish Premiership

:20:02. > :20:08.impact. Sinclair's silky finish. What a start for life at Celtic for

:20:17. > :20:23.to life in the championship hasn't gone to plan, they lost 1-0
:20:24. > :20:28.Sheffield Wednesday. Defending like this won't help their bid to return
