:02:17. > :02:19.With just three weeks to go until the Olympics in Rio,
:02:20. > :02:21.the International Olympic Committee is seeking urgent legal advice
:02:22. > :02:26.on the possibility of banning all Russian athletes from the Games.
:02:27. > :02:32.It follows an independent report detailing a comprehensive state-run
:02:33. > :02:35.doping programme at the Winter Olympics in Russia back in 2014.
:02:36. > :02:38.The IOC has ruled that all Russian athletes who competed in Sochi
:02:39. > :02:40.must now have their samples re-tested for doping.
:02:41. > :02:43.Russia's track and field athletes are already barred from competing
:02:44. > :02:45.at Rio because of doping - and the IOC will now refuse
:02:46. > :02:48.accreditation to any Russian officials for the games.
:02:49. > :02:56.Our Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg has more.
:02:57. > :03:04.With little more than two weeks to go before Rio, we still do not know
:03:05. > :03:09.if there will be a Russian team at the Olympic Games. The world
:03:10. > :03:14.anti-doping agency, Wada, says Russia should be kept away for
:03:15. > :03:18.systematically cheating in world sport, through a state-sponsored
:03:19. > :03:22.doping programme. Today, the International Olympic Committee met
:03:23. > :03:30.in emergency session. The IOC says it will now explore legal options
:03:31. > :03:32.for a possible ban on the entire Russian Olympic team. We will have
:03:33. > :03:37.to take a very difficult decision also in legal terms. This is on the
:03:38. > :03:45.one hand between a collective ban for all Russian athletes, and on the
:03:46. > :03:51.other hand, the natural right for justice for every clean athlete in
:03:52. > :03:57.the world. In this respect, we are entering a new field. Not everyone
:03:58. > :04:00.outside Russia supports the idea. I think what primarily has to happen
:04:01. > :04:04.is we have to look at those individual athletes who have been
:04:05. > :04:08.caught, ban those athletes, redistribute the medals, reorganise
:04:09. > :04:14.the medals table, but an outright ban of Russia, I don't think is the
:04:15. > :04:19.most sensible way to go forward. Here in Russia, the people we spoke
:04:20. > :04:26.to suspect foul play by the West. TRANSLATION: I think this is a plot
:04:27. > :04:30.by the Americans. There are no facts in the Wada report, Tatiana says,
:04:31. > :04:36.they just rang to put pressure on Russia. They are on their marks and
:04:37. > :04:40.all set for Rio but will these Russian swimmers be allowed to
:04:41. > :04:45.compete in the games? This event outside Moscow was supposed to be a
:04:46. > :04:50.final run through before the Olympics, but right now Rio is
:04:51. > :04:54.feeling a long way off. TRANSLATION: It is not fair, we train hard and
:04:55. > :04:58.put in the effort but the decision on whether we go to the Olympics
:04:59. > :05:04.does not depend on us. We are very worried. All around the swimming
:05:05. > :05:07.pool at these anti-doping posters. This one says only you bear the
:05:08. > :05:14.responsibility for doping getting in your body. And this says don't drink
:05:15. > :05:19.from unchecked sources. Don't accept a glass of water, even from one of
:05:20. > :05:25.your team members. And at the bottom, don't listen to all the
:05:26. > :05:29.advice you may be given. A decision to ban the entire Russian Olympic
:05:30. > :05:33.team would be a personal blow to President Putin. He likes to be seen
:05:34. > :05:38.as the most sports friendly leader Russia has ever had. The Kremlin
:05:39. > :05:41.leader has brought major international sporting events to
:05:42. > :05:49.Russia, and achieving sporting success has been a priority. But at
:05:50. > :05:51.what cost? Russia has been called a cheat and risks being excluded from
:05:52. > :05:54.the biggest sporting event in the world.
:05:55. > :05:56.Within the last hour, Angela Eagle has pulled out
:05:57. > :06:01.She has stepped aside in favour of the only other candidate standing
:06:02. > :06:03.against the current leader Jeremy Corbyn.
:06:04. > :06:06.Owen Smith is Labour's former Work and Pensions Secretary and now hopes
:06:07. > :06:10.Let's get more from our political correspondent
:06:11. > :06:23.Owen Smith is not terribly well known outside his party that now he
:06:24. > :06:27.is the only candidate standing against Jeremy Corbyn? Indeed he is
:06:28. > :06:32.not. Owen Smith only came to this place in 2010. He has been an MP for
:06:33. > :06:36.six years. He is putting himself forward for the top job in the
:06:37. > :06:39.Labour Party and he told me a few minutes ago he's putting himself
:06:40. > :06:43.forward as the next Labour Prime Minister. He is very confident that
:06:44. > :06:51.he will win this race and his supporters have been very confident
:06:52. > :06:56.that they would beat Angela Eagle. Angela Eagle is a well-known in the
:06:57. > :07:03.Labour Party will stop she was only 20 or so votes behind Owen Smith. It
:07:04. > :07:06.was not a hugely thumping victory. But Owen Smith supporters believe
:07:07. > :07:12.because he is less well-known, because he only came into Parliament
:07:13. > :07:15.in 2010, he is therefore a better chance to be able to turn the page
:07:16. > :07:21.for the Labour Party. One of his supporters said to me yesterday, if
:07:22. > :07:26.you go for Angela, it is about the 1980s fighting the 1990s. If we move
:07:27. > :07:29.forward with Owen, somehow they will be able to put to bed some of the
:07:30. > :07:32.memories, some of the bitterness that the Labour Party has seen in
:07:33. > :07:37.recent years. I have to say though, that is a very
:07:38. > :07:42.tall order indeed. The Labour Party has had an extremely traumatic 12
:07:43. > :07:47.months or so. It is a big job to get over all of that. Thank you.
:07:48. > :07:50.Three people have died in a shooting near a swimming pool
:07:51. > :08:01.Police say all three were known to each other and they are not
:08:02. > :08:03.looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
:08:04. > :08:05.Danny Savage reports now from the scene.
:08:06. > :08:07.A leisure centre car park in a Lincolnshire town centre,
:08:08. > :08:09.which just after 9.00am, became a murder scene.
:08:10. > :08:13.This is where local people say a man shot dead his wife and daughter,
:08:14. > :08:17.Many people were quickly aware of what happened.
:08:18. > :08:22.The first two were a few seconds apart.
:08:23. > :08:27.The third one was slightly longer, several seconds apart.
:08:28. > :08:29.They sounded to me a bit like shotguns, but, again,
:08:30. > :08:31.that wasn't sinister, because there is a gun maker
:08:32. > :08:37.As 999 calls came in, paramedics were told to approach
:08:38. > :08:44.Police soon said there was no indication it was terrorist-related.
:08:45. > :08:48.Late this afternoon, they gave more details.
:08:49. > :08:50.At the scene officers found a deceased man,
:08:51. > :08:54.along with two women, who had received serious injuries.
:08:55. > :09:04.But I'm sad to report that both women have subsequently died.
:09:05. > :09:07.The BBC understands the two women are Claire Hart
:09:08. > :09:10.and her daughter Charlotte, who was 19.
:09:11. > :09:12.The man involved was Lance Hart, Charlotte's dad,
:09:13. > :09:17.During the day, a house believed to be the family home
:09:18. > :09:24.Neighbours say the couple had other grown-up children who'd left home,
:09:25. > :09:28.and the house had recently been sold because they were downsizing.
:09:29. > :09:31.Why the family were torn apart by such awful events isn't clear
:09:32. > :09:35.but the shooting in a town centre car park has left those that tried
:09:36. > :09:45.Concern is growing over the actions of the Turkish government
:09:46. > :09:48.following the attempted military coup at the weekend.
:09:49. > :09:50.Thousands of members of the judiciary, military
:09:51. > :09:52.and civil service have been purged by the government.
:09:53. > :09:56.Today alone, 21,000 teachers have been sacked
:09:57. > :09:59.along with 1,500 heads of universities.
:10:00. > :10:01.We can speak to our Turkey correspondent
:10:02. > :10:06.What is the government's case against all these people -
:10:07. > :10:16.and how is the country going to function without them?
:10:17. > :10:24.Well, Fiona, until now the focus had been the police, the judges and the
:10:25. > :10:28.military. Around 20,000 of them detained or dismissed, accused of
:10:29. > :10:33.backing or somehow taking part in the coup. Today, the target became
:10:34. > :10:37.the education sector and sheer numbers suggest a deeper,
:10:38. > :10:40.ideological conflict between a Conservative government and its
:10:41. > :10:45.supporters here behind me, and on the other side, schools and
:10:46. > :10:52.universities, more secular, some of which have clashed with President
:10:53. > :10:54.Erdogan in the past. In terms of going forward, there could be
:10:55. > :10:57.thousands of new people on trial in a country where there are serious
:10:58. > :10:59.concerns over the freedom of the judiciary. The government has even
:11:00. > :11:11.talked about reinstating the death penalty. There will now be arch
:11:12. > :11:15.loyalists promoted in effect recreating the civil service. One
:11:16. > :11:19.side feels emboldened, victorious, the other side, nervous and fearful
:11:20. > :11:24.about what might come tomorrow. There is a widespread sentiment here
:11:25. > :11:25.that democracy has defeated the military but serious doubts about
:11:26. > :11:29.what might come next. Thank you. Britain's vote to leave the EU has
:11:30. > :11:32.thrown a spanner in the works of the global economy -
:11:33. > :11:34.so says It's reduced its forecast
:11:35. > :11:37.for worldwide growth this year But it struck a more optimistic tone
:11:38. > :11:41.from its pre-Brexit warnings More money for the NHS after leaving
:11:42. > :11:50.the EU was a key pledge But the NHS's medical director,
:11:51. > :11:54.Bruce Keogh, has told MPs the vote to leave is already having
:11:55. > :11:58.a negative impact on research. Scientists in other disciplines have
:11:59. > :12:00.told the BBC they are now being excluded from research
:12:01. > :12:03.projects paid for by the EU and are having to cut jobs
:12:04. > :12:05.as a result. Our Science correspondent
:12:06. > :12:18.Pallab Ghosh takes a closer look. British science was one of the
:12:19. > :12:24.biggest winners from membership of the European Union, receiving ?850
:12:25. > :12:28.million a year. Far more than we put in. Now, within weeks of the
:12:29. > :12:34.referendum, there is evidence that that money is beginning to dry up.
:12:35. > :12:39.Nick Wright had planned to work alongside other European scientists
:12:40. > :12:43.on a number of projects, to discover how stars form. But now, they don't
:12:44. > :12:48.want to include him, because they think that they won't get European
:12:49. > :12:52.funding if a British academic is involved. We are going to start to
:12:53. > :12:56.be frozen out of big projects I think. We will find our
:12:57. > :12:59.collaborators in Europe are looking elsewhere for people to collaborate
:13:00. > :13:11.with and that might mean we're not at the table when big discoveries
:13:12. > :13:13.are made. This small engineering company depends on European Union
:13:14. > :13:15.money. Their latest project is to improve rocket thrusters for the
:13:16. > :13:19.next mission to Mars. The firm has received grants from the European
:13:20. > :13:22.Union's scientific research fund for decades. But following the
:13:23. > :13:28.referendum, they will have to cut two jobs. There is no more money in
:13:29. > :13:35.the pipeline. The short answer it has stopped interest from European
:13:36. > :13:41.partners for involving us in their projects has basically dried up. Why
:13:42. > :13:45.does all this matter? Scientific research creates hundreds of
:13:46. > :13:49.thousands of jobs. What is more important is that highly skilled
:13:50. > :13:52.workforce are tracked some of the biggest and best companies in the
:13:53. > :13:57.world and they employ millions of people all across the country. The
:13:58. > :13:59.European research Council, which funds projects throughout the EU
:14:00. > :14:22.said... The message today from all seven of
:14:23. > :14:26.the UK's National scientific engineering and medical academies,
:14:27. > :14:31.is that Brexit is already beginning to hurt. I think that there is a
:14:32. > :14:38.danger that the scientific enterprise here will suffer and if
:14:39. > :14:43.that does happen, then that will affect our future growth and
:14:44. > :14:48.prosperity. The government says it will do all it can to ensure grant
:14:49. > :14:53.applications are considered fairly, but until there is a clear post
:14:54. > :14:59.Brexit plan, British scientists are likely to lose out. Yoo
:15:00. > :15:14.is urgently considering banning all Russian athletes.
:15:15. > :15:20.And still to come: The UK basked on the hottest day of the year with
:15:21. > :15:24.sunshine everywhere and record temperatures.

:15:58. > :16:05.Our North American Editor Jon Sopel reports.
:16:06. > :16:08.The entrance of Donald Trump was like something out of a sci-fi

:16:12. > :16:23.The next First Lady of the United States...
:16:24. > :16:24.Slovenian-born wife, Melania, she spoke fluently.
:16:25. > :16:30.But some of it, well, had a bit of a familiar ring,
:16:31. > :16:32.to a speech Michelle Obama gave when she was hoping to be
:16:33. > :16:37.Your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise.
:16:38. > :16:42.That you'll treat people with respect.
:16:43. > :16:45.That your word is your bond and you do what you say you're
:16:46. > :16:53.going to do, that you treat people with dignity and respect.

:16:58. > :17:01.and your willingness to work for them.
:17:02. > :17:04.The only limit to the height of your achievement is the reach

:22:24. > :22:25.We have lost the hospital, we have lost the courts
:22:26. > :22:30.and we are losing a lot of care homes and people are blaming it down
:22:31. > :22:32.to the local councillors, saying they are going to do things
:22:33. > :22:38.They get your vote and then you don't see them any more.
:22:39. > :22:41.Labour insists it is doing all it can to improve the town
:22:42. > :22:45.But this is a party at war with itself and one senior figure
:22:46. > :22:50.admits it needs to up its game, as even he voted Leave.
:22:51. > :22:54.They need to get out there and listen to what the people have

:22:59. > :23:00.Fight our corner in Westminster, to make them put more
:23:01. > :23:05.This referendum has achieved one thing -
:23:06. > :23:13.There is a sense here in Hartlepool that people at least
:23:14. > :23:18.feel their voice has been heard in this vote and now,
:23:19. > :23:21.whether it is on the local hospital, or on jobs, they want action.
:23:22. > :23:23.Now they won't be looking to the European Union
:23:24. > :23:36.But the danger for the party that used to dominate
:23:37. > :23:39.northern towns like this, is that they might not be looking
:23:40. > :23:49.It's been the hottest day of the year so far with -
:23:50. > :23:52.that rare thing - sunshine across the whole of the UK.
:23:53. > :23:54.Brize Norton in Oxfordshire topped the temperature gauge,
:23:55. > :23:57.But in Wales, the mercury hit 32.4 in Cardif.
:23:58. > :24:00.In Scotland it was 29 for Prestwick and in Northern Ireland it reached

:24:05. > :24:06.train commuters suffered delays as rails buckled in the heat.
:24:07. > :24:11.Barry Island, hotter than Barbados today. Parts of Oxfordshire have
:24:12. > :24:18.beaten Orlando and Hollywood Northern Ireland, has felt like its

:24:24. > :24:27.fed giant ice lollies, made from fruit and veg and they are going
:24:28. > :24:30.down well. It seems the public health message about keeping cool

:24:37. > :24:41.not just human beings that need to be thinking about some protection.
:24:42. > :24:48.Bri is how old? About four years' old. Does she need this? Naturally
:24:49. > :24:52.pigs would go and wallow in water with mud and the mud would give them
:24:53. > :24:57.a layer of protection. Obviously if you haven't got access to a wallow

:25:02. > :25:05.them, they have a lot of skin exposed on the back. Factor 50, if
:25:06. > :25:12.you need to know. I can't believe we are doing this. As the mercury rose,
:25:13. > :25:16.Britain's transport network buckled. Some rails buckled and trains were
:25:17. > :25:20.delayed. It's all been a bit of a shock after weeks of pretty lousy
:25:21. > :25:25.weather. And although southern areas have been hottest, it has been sunny
:25:26. > :25:28.almost everywhere. This was the south-west of England and this was
:25:29. > :25:32.Aberdeen, oh for a gentle breeze. It's lovely. It is really nice to
:25:33. > :25:36.see all the families out and enjoying the weather and making the
:25:37. > :25:43.most of it. It is like being abroad. Who needs to go abroad? Stay in this
:25:44. > :25:50.country. You have the weather. Happy days. It may just be one happy day.
:25:51. > :25:54.Forecasters are predicting thunderstorms tomorrow so BBC
:25:55. > :25:59.weather watchers have been capturing what might be the summer's best day.
:26:00. > :26:04.From done Patrick to Barnsley and in West Sussex, a dust devil. If you
:26:05. > :26:06.love t make the most of it. If you hate t don't worry, it'll soon be
:26:07. > :26:14.gone. When you see the weather numbers,
:26:15. > :26:17.the temperatures on the map, on the forecast, that information will have
:26:18. > :26:21.come from weather stations like this, there are hundreds of them all
:26:22. > :26:26.over the UK, pinging back data to the Met Office this. One in
:26:27. > :26:32.worsershire, in Pershore recorded one of the highest readings today.
:26:33. > :26:36.We saw it at 33. But to be officially classed aes a heatwave
:26:37. > :26:38.you need five days of higher than average temperatures and it seems
:26:39. > :26:41.today has been something of a one-off.
:26:42. > :26:45.Thank you very much, John. Well let's look at the weather. A bit of
:26:46. > :26:55.a one-off, Jay, surely not? I think John summed it up. It was an
:26:56. > :27:00.exceptional day today, with blue skies across most parts of the UK.
:27:01. > :27:04.Those temperatures rocketed away. You can see Brize Norton topped the
:27:05. > :27:12.shop but even into Northern Ireland, up to 28. The heat was widespread.
:27:13. > :27:14.But there is a change, thupder storms developing Northern Ireland,
:27:15. > :27:18.Scotland and banters of England and Wales. There could be torrential
:27:19. > :27:22.rain with that. But also the other talking point is the exceptional
:27:23. > :27:24.warmth. 20 is the lowest temperature expected in Glasgow, Belfast,
:27:25. > :27:28.probably no lower than 23 in Manchester and London, so a very
:27:29. > :27:32.difficult night for sleeping A stwarment it the day a thundery one
:27:33. > :27:37.for Northern Ireland and Scotland. Thunderstorms worker north.
:27:38. > :27:43.Elsewhere one or two heavy spells break out. Cooler weather from the
:27:44. > :27:48.west but still pleasant enough. High teens, low 20s. Still some heat. One
:27:49. > :27:50.more day across East Anglia and the south-east and the eastern side of
:27:51. > :27:54.Epping land warmer than the western side. Fresher in Northern Ireland
:27:55. > :27:57.and across Scotland and still the risk of thunderstorms across the
:27:58. > :28:00.north and north-east of Scotland into the javen, so a different day
:28:01. > :28:02.here. The thupder storms work knotted wards through tomorrow
:28:03. > :28:06.night, getting up towards the Northern Isles. Through the small
:28:07. > :28:10.hours of Thursday morning, most fine and dry and notably the westerly
:28:11. > :28:13.winds will push in across all areas. Temperatures drop away across all
:28:14. > :28:17.parts. A much more comfortable night Wednesday, into Thursday but still
:28:18. > :28:22.warm in the south-east, 17 or 18. Thursday, itself, is a much quieter
:28:23. > :28:25.day, really. The heat has gone towards the near continent A ridge
:28:26. > :28:29.of high pressure settling down for the most part. One or two showers
:28:30. > :28:33.here and there but for the most part, dry with sunny spells and it
:28:34. > :28:37.should feel pleasant enough with those temperatures in the low 20s.
:28:38. > :28:38.That's all from the BBC News at Six, goodbye
