:01:23. > :01:30.knowing what sacrifice means". It's after the Republican
:01:31. > :01:31.presidential hopeful mocked her for standing
:01:32. > :01:34.silent next to her husband while he delivered an emotional
:01:35. > :01:36.speech about their son Mr Trump said Mrs Khan had been
:01:37. > :01:43.forbidden from speaking. Here's Mary Bruce from ABC
:01:44. > :01:48.News with the story. Donald Trump is sparking outrage
:01:49. > :01:51.and disgust with his response We are honoured to stand
:01:52. > :02:00.here as parents of the captain. It was the most raw and emotional
:02:01. > :02:10.moment of the campaign. Khizr Khan had a searing
:02:11. > :02:12.rebuke of Donald Trump. Their son died serving his
:02:13. > :02:22.nation in Iraq. Let me ask you, have you even read
:02:23. > :02:30.the United States Constitution? I think I have made a lot
:02:31. > :02:56.of sacrifices, I work very hard. I have created thousands
:02:57. > :02:58.and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs,
:02:59. > :03:00.built great structures, Pointing a finger at Humayun Khan's
:03:01. > :03:22.mother, suggesting she did not speak because she was forbidden
:03:23. > :03:24.by her faith. If you look at his wife,
:03:25. > :03:26.she was standing there, she had nothing to say,
:03:27. > :03:29.maybe she was not allowed. The real reason was
:03:30. > :03:30.all-consuming grief. When I was standing there,
:03:31. > :03:38.all America felt my pain. Ghazala Khan ending that
:03:39. > :03:40.report from ABC News. Well, as you saw there,
:03:41. > :03:42.the couple have been Our Washington correspondent
:03:43. > :03:54.David Willis told me further details Ghazala Khan has gone on record now
:03:55. > :04:02.as saying that she was simply too emotional to speak at the Democratic
:04:03. > :04:06.Convention last week. She said seeing pictures of her son displayed
:04:07. > :04:12.on big screens around the auditorium was too much for her. She couldn't
:04:13. > :04:15.rely on herself to speak about him without breaking down. She has
:04:16. > :04:21.accused Donald Trump of having a dark soul, saying that he was
:04:22. > :04:27.ignorant of Islam, ignorant of sacrifice. She also said he believed
:04:28. > :04:35.-- she believed he was totally unfit to lead the country. Mr Trump, for
:04:36. > :04:39.his part, has gone back somewhat. He has called her son and hero and
:04:40. > :04:46.sort, through his campaign team, to re-focus the issue somewhat. By
:04:47. > :04:55.dwelling more on the issue of Islamic terrorism, the people who
:04:56. > :04:58.claimed the lives of Humayun Khan. But he promised the courts would
:04:59. > :05:01.come off after the criticism he attracted at last week laws-mac
:05:02. > :05:07.Democratic convention and clearly he is not in the mid-to back down, even
:05:08. > :05:13.in the face of criticism from people in his own party on issues such as
:05:14. > :05:18.this. -- in the mood. There has been criticism from within
:05:19. > :05:22.the Republican Party. What has their reaction been generally in the US to
:05:23. > :05:27.these comments from Donald Trump? It is interesting. John Keswick, who
:05:28. > :05:33.was also running for the Republican nomination, criticise Donald Trump.
:05:34. > :05:37.So have other members of the Republican Party. Hillary Clinton
:05:38. > :05:41.and Bill Clinton have also criticised. But this is the sort of
:05:42. > :05:46.thing which Donald Trump doesn't tend to back down from. Those who
:05:47. > :05:49.are perhaps expecting to do so on this occasion, even though it has
:05:50. > :05:56.been the convention in the past for leaders to only speak well of those
:05:57. > :06:02.who have suffered in battle, Donald Trump is not the sort of man, it
:06:03. > :06:05.seems, to back down. If there is any suggestion that he might on this
:06:06. > :06:12.occasion, you just have to look at his response today to Mr Khan's
:06:13. > :06:17.remarks. He said that Mr Khan has no right, as he put it, to stand in
:06:18. > :06:21.front of millions of people and make baseless accusations against them.
:06:22. > :06:24.-- against him. Well, let's go to Rio,
:06:25. > :06:27.because there's just five days to go until the start of the Olympics
:06:28. > :06:29.and organisers are yet to decide which Russian
:06:30. > :06:31.athletes will compete. Last week, the International Olympic
:06:32. > :06:33.Committee said it would be up But this week it's
:06:34. > :06:37.all change and a new three-member panel
:06:38. > :06:41.will have the final say. In response, the IOC
:06:42. > :06:43.president has denied the credibility of the organisation
:06:44. > :06:45.has been damaged. Russia's fencing squad may already
:06:46. > :06:54.be here in Rio today collecting their accreditation
:06:55. > :06:56.at the athletes college, but many do not know
:06:57. > :06:59.if they will be able to take part. These are among the 250 Russians
:07:00. > :07:02.cleared to participate in the wake The International Olympic
:07:03. > :07:07.Committee has now said it This afternoon, the president
:07:08. > :07:14.remained defiant. How much damage to the
:07:15. > :07:16.credibility of these games has this caused
:07:17. > :07:18.in the I do not think in the end these
:07:19. > :07:24.will be damaging, because people will realise that we have to take
:07:25. > :07:30.these decisions now. Imagine the situation
:07:31. > :07:32.if we would not have taken a decision, what then
:07:33. > :07:34.the limbo would be. I trust the people that they realise
:07:35. > :07:51.the difficulties we are in. Despite a damning report
:07:52. > :07:52.into state-sponsored doping that sabotaged events
:07:53. > :07:54.like the Sochi Winter Games, the IOC resisted demands of
:07:55. > :08:02.a blanket ban of the Russian team. More than 100 athletes
:08:03. > :08:04.have been banned under but there was a third Russian
:08:05. > :08:08.swimmer who appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport
:08:09. > :08:10.against the exclusion today, This is the Russian handball team
:08:11. > :08:15.and despite the fact that we are just five days away
:08:16. > :08:18.from the start of the Rio games, they are in limbo like so many
:08:19. > :08:21.of their colleagues. They do not know whether or not
:08:22. > :08:25.the IOC will allow them to compete. TRANSLATION: Of course it is not
:08:26. > :08:29.easy, the most difficult thing For those who are not doping,
:08:30. > :08:33.it is not fair. British athletes meanwhile
:08:34. > :08:35.are continuing their preparations Some waiting to find out
:08:36. > :08:44.whether the competition will include It is not unsettling for us,
:08:45. > :08:48.it is a shame it was not sorted out earlier, before
:08:49. > :08:52.the games got started. We fully support the strongest
:08:53. > :08:54.sanctions for athletes but for us it is just
:08:55. > :09:07.about focusing on our own game. These games have already had
:09:08. > :09:09.a troubled build-up, but the IOC's handling of the crisis
:09:10. > :09:12.has ensured the controversy will continue even once
:09:13. > :09:13.the action begins. Now a look at some more
:09:14. > :09:16.top stories this hour. Turkey says a German ban -
:09:17. > :09:18.preventing President Erdogan from addressing a rally
:09:19. > :09:20.of supporters in Cologne - Germany is home to the largest
:09:21. > :09:23.population of Turks And there are concerns such
:09:24. > :09:26.video messages could stoke political tensions
:09:27. > :09:29.following Turkey's failed coup. In a separate development,
:09:30. > :09:33.President Erdogan today tightened his grip on power
:09:34. > :09:36.by bringing the army chief and intelligence agency
:09:37. > :09:39.under his control. The Indian government says it's
:09:40. > :09:42.providing food rations to thousands of Indian workers in Saudi Arabia
:09:43. > :09:45.who have lost their jobs. The workers are mostly employed
:09:46. > :09:48.by Saudi construction companies which have suffered badly
:09:49. > :09:50.because of a drop in oil prices. Many workers haven't been paid
:09:51. > :10:01.for months. Heavy monsoon rains are continuing

:11:09. > :11:23.of Puerto Rico earlier this year, where there has been huge flare-up
:11:24. > :11:26.in cases, health officials told me infections and that they would
:11:27. > :11:29.probably start in Florida. There have so far been
:11:30. > :11:32.more than 1600 cases of Zika on the mainland US,

:11:38. > :11:45.to Florida with more than 300 travel There is a risk of seeing
:11:46. > :11:59.locally transmitted cases because the mosquito which spreads
:12:00. > :12:01.Zika already lives here. Investigations into how Zika
:12:02. > :12:03.arrived here are underway, but it is likely to have
:12:04. > :12:06.come in with a traveller who returned to the States
:12:07. > :12:09.from an area badly hit by the virus. A bloodsucking mosquito,
:12:10. > :12:11.like one of these, probably infected a person or a few people
:12:12. > :12:17.and they brought it back with them, then
:12:18. > :12:20.they were bitten by a local mosquito in Florida and that
:12:21. > :12:22.creature managed to start US health officials do not expect
:12:23. > :12:29.widespread cases in mainland US, but the advice to British people
:12:30. > :12:32.heading for the Sunshine State is to take precautions to avoid

:14:27. > :14:28.As we've been hearing, the Olympic Games gets
:14:29. > :14:33.Like any major sporting event, huge sums of money are being invested
:14:34. > :14:39.in Rio 2016 by corporate sponsors - over a billion dollars in fact.
:14:40. > :14:42.Earlier this week, a rule into force restricting how brands that are not
:14:43. > :14:46.official sponsors of the Games can advertise.
:14:47. > :14:49.The rule - named Rule 40 - means personal sponsors such as kit
:14:50. > :14:51.suppliers are not allowed to re-tweet athletes or use any
:14:52. > :14:57.Many words such as "gold", "summer" and "victory" -
:14:58. > :15:00.or even a picture of a medal - cannot be used by non-approved
:15:01. > :15:06.sponsors in any sort of advertising or in posts on social media.
:15:07. > :15:12.Let's get more than this. Charles Taylor is Professor of marketing at
:15:13. > :15:19.Villanova University of business in Pennsylvania. This is a complete
:15:20. > :15:24.minefield, isn't it? What you have is a situation where the sponsors
:15:25. > :15:30.invest an enormous amount of money to be associated with the Olympic
:15:31. > :15:33.games. You have other companies that try to attach themselves to the
:15:34. > :15:39.Olympics in interesting ways sometimes. The motivation for Rule
:15:40. > :15:45.40, which has been around for a long time, is good. The question becomes
:15:46. > :15:48.the execution. And when you start getting into what athletes can see
:15:49. > :15:54.on social media, this is where the controversy comes in. So what will
:15:55. > :16:04.happen if these terms are actually used by non-approved sponsors? Is
:16:05. > :16:07.the athletes and involved, the penalties could even involve taking
:16:08. > :16:10.away medals. I think it would be extremely unlikely that that would
:16:11. > :16:18.happen. It is much more likely that it would be an issue of fines.
:16:19. > :16:20.Frankly, in the past, a lot of the ambush marketers or nonofficial
:16:21. > :16:24.sponsors that have tried to link themselves to the Olympics, without
:16:25. > :16:29.paying money for the sponsorships, have largely gone away with it.
:16:30. > :16:34.We're talking about a lot money here. This is why this rule has come
:16:35. > :16:40.into force. How much money are we actually talking about? The rates of
:16:41. > :16:47.actually went up recently. Panasonic just paid for an eight-year contract
:16:48. > :16:55.to the tune of 350 million US dollars, giving them the right to
:16:56. > :16:58.four Olympics. Historically, it was $100 million for a cycle of two
:16:59. > :17:04.Olympics. But the going rate has gone up recently and the best
:17:05. > :17:08.estimate right now are that it is $200 million to have a four-year
:17:09. > :17:12.cycle when you have two Olympics as one of the global partners. It is
:17:13. > :17:18.really a lot of money. It is incredible. In the world of social
:17:19. > :17:23.media, how practical is this rule? You know, I don't think it is
:17:24. > :17:30.terribly practical. Especially some of the types of what you mentioned,
:17:31. > :17:35.like effort and victory. On the other hand, a reasonable person can
:17:36. > :17:41.see why you don't want a nonofficial sponsor associating a word with
:17:42. > :17:47.gold-medal, words like gold-medal or Olympic rings, with the company that
:17:48. > :17:53.is not an official sponsor. A lot of the athletes have sponsorships for
:17:54. > :17:58.both official sponsors and nonofficial sponsors. So it does
:17:59. > :18:00.make it a little tricky for the athletes but they probably do know
:18:01. > :18:07.the difference and I don't think it is that hard for them to abide by
:18:08. > :18:09.some of the main terminology. Charles Taylor, professor of
:18:10. > :18:18.marketing, thank you very much Thank you very much. Let's get on
:18:19. > :18:23.sport for you. Lewis Hamilton can head off on holiday with a spring in
:18:24. > :18:28.his step after winning the German Grand Prix. He started from second
:18:29. > :18:30.behind his rival Nico Rosberg but the German made a poor getaway,
:18:31. > :18:35.handing only to the Britain will slip into fourth place. Hamilton
:18:36. > :18:39.clinched his sixth victory in seven races to extend his lead over Ross
:18:40. > :18:48.Batty 19 points going into the four-week summer break. -- over Nico
:18:49. > :18:52.Rosberg. The final round of the USPGA is under way but they are well
:18:53. > :18:56.behind schedule after bad rain yesterday meant players had to take
:18:57. > :19:04.on 36 holes on day four. He was a leaderboard. Jimmy Walker
:19:05. > :19:10.is 11 under. Grace is one shot behind him. Last year's when I'm
:19:11. > :19:14.Jason Day is having disappointing round. He has dropped two shots,
:19:15. > :19:24.putting him three shots off the lead. This player held on to win the
:19:25. > :19:35.women's British Open. She survived Apache -- she survived a patchy
:19:36. > :19:39.final-round to win. The Olympics under way next week, and Great
:19:40. > :19:43.Britain's swimmers are tipped for success. They were one of the few
:19:44. > :19:46.disappointments at London 2012. Led by Adam Peaty, they have turned a
:19:47. > :19:52.four man. Our correspondent got up with them at their training camp.
:19:53. > :19:56.Heather Frost was history. The last time a British man won an award big
:19:57. > :20:01.swimming title, Adam Peaty wasn't even born. Just 21, he is a new
:20:02. > :20:08.start of a team that has gone from trailing to triumph. His three goals
:20:09. > :20:12.in last year's World Championships make the man to beat in Rio de
:20:13. > :20:19.Janeiro. If there is pressure, he is not exactly feeling it. You know, I
:20:20. > :20:24.have never really been one of pressure. I don't really know how
:20:25. > :20:29.you get it or whatever. I just see this as an opportunity to do the
:20:30. > :20:34.best thing for my country and the best thing for these guys. Such
:20:35. > :20:39.optimism seems a far cry from the last Olympics, where Becky Adlington
:20:40. > :20:43.and Michael Jamieson were put in's only medallist in the swimming pool.
:20:44. > :20:49.Four years ago in London, Britain's swimmers were one GB's few
:20:50. > :20:53.disappointments. But a fresh approach has revived their fortunes
:20:54. > :20:57.since then. Under Adlington's former coach, they won a record nine medals
:20:58. > :21:04.at the World Championships. Results and morale transformed. The
:21:05. > :21:08.challenge now is to reproduce those results when it really matters. But
:21:09. > :21:15.after the frustration of London, this could finally be British
:21:16. > :21:18.swimming's moment. Yes, we shall see about that. That
:21:19. > :21:22.is all the sport for now. Thank you very much.
:21:23. > :21:29.Let's go to a sporting legend. When Muhammad Ali died in June, the
:21:30. > :21:32.world lost one of its most beloved and inspiring figures. Our
:21:33. > :21:38.correspondent has been to the I Am The Greatest exhibition in London to
:21:39. > :21:42.see how the Olympics encapsulated Muhammad Ali's fighting spirit in
:21:43. > :21:48.and out of the ring. It is part of our new series, including interviews
:21:49. > :21:53.and pictures not seen for over half a century.
:21:54. > :21:55.For most sportsmen and women, and Olympic gold is the pinnacle,
:21:56. > :22:03.But for one young man that gold was just a springboard
:22:04. > :22:13.At 18 years of age at the Rome Olympics in 1960,
:22:14. > :22:15.a light heavyweight boxer called Cassius Clay caught our attention.
:22:16. > :22:18.It took him four bouts and just 11 rounds of boxing to win gold,
:22:19. > :22:28.He was the undisputed star of the ring and of the games.
:22:29. > :22:31.He only had three rounds to fight him, you have to think fast
:22:32. > :22:34.and move fast and it can be overruled quick if you are not
:22:35. > :22:37.careful, if you lose the first one, you have to win the second one
:22:38. > :22:41.and if you win the second, you need the third and if you lose
:22:42. > :22:46.There is a possibility of going onto the next heavyweight
:22:47. > :22:57.champion, colourful, young, flashy, which I'm hip to.
