:00:18. > :00:25.Brazil's Olympic football team prepares to take on Germany
:00:26. > :00:29.with Neymar poised to light up the legendary Maracana stadium.
:00:30. > :00:31.I'm Alex South live in Rio where this football mad nation
:00:32. > :00:34.is looking forward to a result that would wipe the memory of their 7-1
:00:35. > :00:40.World cup defeat to Germany at the World Cup, two years ago.
:00:41. > :00:42.A former US Navy Seal agrees to pay almost $7million dollars
:00:43. > :00:44.for publishing this book without permission
:00:45. > :00:48.Also coming up: London's 24 hours underground service is now running.
:00:49. > :01:03.We look at the impact it's made on its first night.
:01:04. > :01:09.We're now into day 15 of the Olympics Games in Rio
:01:10. > :01:13.and the big event the hosts are looking forward
:01:14. > :01:19.The Brazilians are facing Germany - hoping to get revenge
:01:20. > :01:22.for their defeat in the 2014 World Cup semifinal.
:01:23. > :01:36.Let's join Alex South now who's in Rio de Janeiro.
:01:37. > :01:47.Old scores to settle here? Certainly is. That phrase 7-1 is a bit of a
:01:48. > :01:51.swear word here in Brazil. They see it if they trip over or if something
:01:52. > :01:56.goes wrong. It is synonymous with doing badly. Two years ago, Germany
:01:57. > :02:00.thrashed Brazil on home soil and they are looking to put that right.
:02:01. > :02:07.Was ill have never won an Olympic gold medal. They have one five gold
:02:08. > :02:11.ash World Cup and they're looking to get a first gold medal and heal some
:02:12. > :02:15.winds that have been left open by that addict defeat. It is hard to
:02:16. > :02:21.put into words how much that affected the Brazilian psyche. I
:02:22. > :02:25.love their football, it is like a religion here. All of a sudden, they
:02:26. > :02:31.are not as confident, as Korkie, as arrogant as they used to be. This is
:02:32. > :02:34.the nation of Samba, a love that football. They are scared of
:02:35. > :02:41.Germany. We spoke to some of the fans to see how they are feeling I
:02:42. > :02:49.of this game. We don't have this medal yet. So excited to get this.
:02:50. > :02:55.We are trying to get this all the time. Oh, you know, for us, the most
:02:56. > :03:02.important is the party. But, for sure, we would love to be with the
:03:03. > :03:06.players and to be winners. Brazil is beautiful. We deserve it. I think
:03:07. > :03:15.Brazil is the country football and for us, this is the type of game
:03:16. > :03:26.that Brazil doesn't winds, the gold medal of the Olympic Games. Brazil
:03:27. > :03:29.Brazell! Brazil obviously need is medal as well, they are doing
:03:30. > :03:34.particularly well in the medal table either. They are hoping for a gold
:03:35. > :03:41.here. As our Great Britain in the study Olympic oath. All eyes on Mo
:03:42. > :03:46.Farah from Great Britain. Done fantastic in the medal table. Mo
:03:47. > :03:53.Farah could get another gold medal. He is going in the 5000 metre final
:03:54. > :03:57.this evening here in Rio. He won the Dublin London 2012, he is going for
:03:58. > :04:05.the double double. We had about Usain Bolt's triple trouble. --
:04:06. > :04:12.triple trouble. Great Britain are looking to surpass the medal hello
:04:13. > :04:17.Ali from four years ago on home soil. We have had amazing run of
:04:18. > :04:26.results that have put them ahead of China. Earlier in the day, Nicola
:04:27. > :04:30.Adams won the boxing gold, to reproduce her success from London
:04:31. > :04:37.four years ago and we also have a goal from Liam Heath in the kayak.
:04:38. > :04:41.Golden Bay for Great Britain. Mo Farah today but all eyes here at the
:04:42. > :04:46.Maracana are, a stream of yellow and green shirts, wanting that gold
:04:47. > :04:50.medal that they have never won before. Lots of world cups, no
:04:51. > :04:59.Olympic gold medals. As we know, Germany love to spoil party. They
:05:00. > :05:01.absolutely do. To get all the results from day 15, head to our
:05:02. > :05:09.site. Let's go to the US now. An American Navy Seal who wrote
:05:10. > :05:12.a book about his part in the killing of Osama Bin Laden has agreed to pay
:05:13. > :05:15.the US government almost $7 million The government has accused
:05:16. > :05:19.the former Seal of breaking his confidential
:05:20. > :05:20.non-disclosure agreement. Our correspondent David Willis
:05:21. > :05:31.joins Osama Bin us live Tell us more about this Navy SEAL
:05:32. > :05:37.and how he has found himself in this situation. He wrote this harrowing,
:05:38. > :05:46.gripping account of his involvement in the raid on Osama Bin Laden's
:05:47. > :05:50.compound. He wrote of been large in coaching and convulsing, as he put
:05:51. > :05:55.it, as he and a colleague fired at him. He always contended there was
:05:56. > :06:00.no leaking of secrets, of classified information in that book. The US
:06:01. > :06:05.government, for its part, have said you have got to, under the terms of
:06:06. > :06:10.the secrecy agreement signed by all members of the military, to present
:06:11. > :06:15.manuscripts for books such as these in advance for clearance. That
:06:16. > :06:19.didn't happen, and as is a result, there has been this four-year
:06:20. > :06:25.protracted discussion between the two parties, resolved now, at some
:06:26. > :06:28.expense to Matthew Bissell net. He has agreed to forfeit the royalties
:06:29. > :06:33.he has received already for writing this book. Any royalties he might
:06:34. > :06:40.receive in the future, the payments he gives -- gets for lectures given
:06:41. > :06:44.on the book and also the US government's legal expenses. A clear
:06:45. > :06:49.sign, I think, from the US government, that it tends to deal
:06:50. > :06:54.harshly with those who seek to profit and to reveal what they
:06:55. > :06:58.believe to be secret information. This book was written four years
:06:59. > :07:03.ago. Why has it taken so long for this assessment to come to pass? A
:07:04. > :07:07.good question. It is to do with that wrangling, basically. The US
:07:08. > :07:14.government have threatened a criminal charges potentially against
:07:15. > :07:21.him while this agreement now sends that possibility away. There are,
:07:22. > :07:24.though, some who are saying that it is an indication of double
:07:25. > :07:29.standards, if you like, on the part of the US government because members
:07:30. > :07:34.of the CIA and known to have briefed the screenwriter of zero Dark 30,
:07:35. > :07:42.which was Hollywood's account of the raid. Other former defence
:07:43. > :07:48.secretaries here have written about it in their memoirs. It seems there
:07:49. > :07:52.is one rule of the government decides to leak secret information,
:07:53. > :07:57.it is quite another ever man, albeit a man who put his life on the line
:07:58. > :08:00.in this operation, does the same thing.
:08:01. > :08:01.Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis have staged
:08:02. > :08:04.a protest in the capital, Sanaa, against recent air-strikes
:08:05. > :08:08.Meanwhile, the coalition battling the Houthi rebes carried out several
:08:09. > :08:11.bombing raids on a mountain overlooking the presidential palace.
:08:12. > :08:18.Eyewitnesses said many of the demonstrators fled in panic.
:08:19. > :08:20.Fighting is continuing in the north eastern Syrian city of Hasakah,
:08:21. > :08:23.where government warplanes are in the skies again despite
:08:24. > :08:29.It's unclear whether the aircraft were continuing to bomb the city,
:08:30. > :08:33.which is mainly under the control of Kurdish fighters
:08:34. > :08:39.The New York Times is reporting that companies belonging
:08:40. > :08:42.to the Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump are at least
:08:43. > :08:49.The newspaper says this is twice the amount shown in public documents
:08:50. > :08:54.Mr Trump claims to be worth billions but he's refused to disclose his tax
:08:55. > :09:01.returns or allow an independent valuation of his assets.
:09:02. > :09:04.Officials in southern California say that a massive wildfire
:09:05. > :09:07.More than 80,000 people were ordered to leave
:09:08. > :09:13.But firefighters say they now expect residents to begin returning.
:09:14. > :09:16.The blaze has destroyed nearly 100 homes and burned an area of 58
:09:17. > :09:19.square miles to the east of Los Angeles in San Bernardino
:09:20. > :09:26.As David Campanale now reports, two sisters have been describing
:09:27. > :09:35.for the first time how they escaped the fire's advance.
:09:36. > :09:38.No! We've got to get out of here.
:09:39. > :09:40.As the fire and smoke began to surround them,
:09:41. > :09:43.these were the panicked and frantic seconds where life-and-death
:09:44. > :09:56.as they escaped their home in south-east California.
:09:57. > :10:00.It only took moments for the sisters to realise
:10:01. > :10:04.the flames were on their doorstep.
:10:05. > :10:09.This is Crystal Armstrong, and Sunshine, her sister, now safe
:10:10. > :10:16.I have my twin sister. I have my husband.
:10:17. > :10:23.She was the one who started filming as the flames came
:10:24. > :10:34.It was 10.30, when I looked out the window and I seen the fire.
:10:35. > :10:39.Then I called my sister to come and get me, because I had no way
:10:40. > :10:43.Most of the animals were rescued, but even as this California wildfire
:10:44. > :10:47.took almost everything she owned, Crystal remains thankful.
:10:48. > :10:56.Firefighters in the county say the massive wildfire the sisters
:10:57. > :11:00.escaped from was among the most ferocious they have ever seen.
:11:01. > :11:04.The past 48 hours have seen some successes in containing the blaze,
:11:05. > :11:08.which is one of a number in the State.
:11:09. > :11:11.Many evacuees have been allowed to start returning to their homes.
:11:12. > :11:15.But a prolonged drought has transformed swathes
:11:16. > :11:19.of California into tinderboxes, ready to ignite again.
:11:20. > :11:26.It sounds like the plot of a spy novel - police in Australia
:11:27. > :11:30.are investigating how a listening device was planted in
:11:31. > :11:34.a hotel room being used by the New Zealand rugby team.
:11:35. > :11:36.The All Blacks, who are in Sydney for a test match
:11:37. > :11:39.against the Wallabies, found the device
:11:40. > :11:46.Their opponents deny involvement, as Phil Mercer reports.
:11:47. > :11:49.The device, found carefully hidden in a hotel room in Sydney,
:11:50. > :11:53.was reportedly similar to those used by law enforcement
:11:54. > :11:59.It was discovered the day after the New Zealand All Blacks had
:12:00. > :12:02.arrived to prepare for a rugby championship
:12:03. > :12:08.Team officials say that they are taking the apparent intrusion very
:12:09. > :12:11.seriously and have asked the police to investigate.
:12:12. > :12:14.Earlier this week, we did find a listening device in a chair
:12:15. > :12:22.We discussed it with the hotel, initiated some investigative
:12:23. > :12:26.procedures and after talking to our Australian colleagues
:12:27. > :12:29.in the last 24 hours, and the hotel, we've handed that
:12:30. > :12:34.There's no indication yet as to who planted the bug, or why.
:12:35. > :12:37.Australian rugby bosses say they had no knowledge or involvement
:12:38. > :12:43.Some former players say there would be no point eavesdropping
:12:44. > :12:48.So, could it have been a shadowy betting syndicate trying to gain
:12:49. > :12:52.inside information on the world champions by nefarious means?
:12:53. > :12:56.Reports say the listening device, found in an upmarket hotel
:12:57. > :13:00.in Sydney, was expertly planted by experienced hands.
:13:01. > :13:03.It could, however, have nothing to do with the All Blacks
:13:04. > :13:07.and have been secreted with another target in mind.
:13:08. > :13:10.The New Zealand coach Steve Hansen is a former
:13:11. > :13:19.policeman, who may well have theories of his own.
:13:20. > :13:28.Stay with us here on BBC News. Still to come, the BBC pop up bureau lands
:13:29. > :13:29.in Russia, ready to bring you the stories that our international
:13:30. > :14:40.viewers have asked us to cover. Brazil is taking on Germany
:14:41. > :14:46.in the men's Olympic They're looking for revenge
:14:47. > :14:59.for their 7-1 World Cup The former Navy SEAL commando has
:15:00. > :15:02.agreed to pay the US government nearly $7 million for publishing
:15:03. > :15:08.without permission a book about the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
:15:09. > :15:20.Now, let's get the latest on the BBC pop up team. They have covered
:15:21. > :15:21.America and India, now they have landed in the Russian capital
:15:22. > :15:53.Moscow. This is BBC Pop Up. This is your
:15:54. > :16:03.city, right? It is but a lot has changed lately. Some things will
:16:04. > :16:08.never change about Moscow. Local things will always be popular here
:16:09. > :16:18.and shopkeepers will sell everything. A lot of Russians feel
:16:19. > :16:23.that Russia is treated unfairly. Particularly because of the
:16:24. > :16:29.treatment of some athletes after the doping scandal and because of other
:16:30. > :16:50.things. It is not that fancy, the brogues
:16:51. > :17:09.are not that good. Maybe we should spread the money.
:17:10. > :17:19.Always need to be entertained. It is the Russian feature. We need to be
:17:20. > :17:26.entertained. That is why we have such interesting nightlife. And we
:17:27. > :17:33.have also been getting social media suggestions about adoption and
:17:34. > :17:37.Russian country houses. Stick around this month, we will be travelling
:17:38. > :17:47.across Russia to document your ideas. We heard earlier about the
:17:48. > :17:50.Olympics but what else has been going on in the world of sport? Matt
:17:51. > :17:53.Smith is here to tell us. The IPC is hopeful that all the cuts
:17:54. > :17:56.they have had to make to the forthcoming Paralympics
:17:57. > :17:59.will not have a major Crucial funding which was set aside
:18:00. > :18:02.has instead been spent There'll be less people working
:18:03. > :18:06.on the Paras, among other changes. But Craig Spence, director
:18:07. > :18:08.of communications for the IPC, is still confident the event
:18:09. > :18:18.will be a success. What we want to do is ensure they
:18:19. > :18:23.have the best experience and Paralympic and don't agree about
:18:24. > :18:27.what doesn't work, they just maximise what is there and that is
:18:28. > :18:32.what we are going to do on Rio. We are still, that we can do a great
:18:33. > :18:36.games, there will be a bigger TV audience than ever before and we
:18:37. > :18:38.believe the impact we made in 2012 in London will be the same in Rio in
:18:39. > :18:41.2016. An away game at a windy Stoke City
:18:42. > :18:44.was thought to be Pep Guardiola's first real Premier League test
:18:45. > :18:47.as Manchester City manager, but he and they passed
:18:48. > :18:48.with flying colours. City were impressive in the first
:18:49. > :18:53.half and thanks to two Sergio Aguero strikes,
:18:54. > :18:55.they went into the break One of Aguero's goals was a penalty,
:18:56. > :18:59.but Stoke then got a spot And Bojan scored it to bring
:19:00. > :19:02.the home side hope, but Spanish summer signing Nolito got two late
:19:03. > :19:17.City goals to give City the 4-1 win. With the quality of the players and
:19:18. > :19:24.managers, the manager... We have good players, good clubs, and good
:19:25. > :19:26.clubs. And good players. They are so intelligent and immediately take
:19:27. > :19:33.what we want. But from the beginning, we tried to fight and
:19:34. > :19:35.talk about our spirit, to create team. It is important in the team
:19:36. > :19:41.and that is why we did it. There was a shock result for
:19:42. > :19:43.Liverpool at newly-promoted Burnley. First half goals from Wales
:19:44. > :19:45.international Sam Vokes and Andre Despite having 81% of possession,
:19:46. > :19:49.Liverpool rarely troubled Here are the rest of
:19:50. > :19:55.the results on Saturday. Hull's great start to the season
:19:56. > :19:57.continued - they are A Victor Wanyama goal for Tottenham
:19:58. > :20:02.saw them defeat Crystal Palace. Chelsea came from behind,
:20:03. > :20:05.away from home, to beat Watford 2-1. Everton came from behind too,
:20:06. > :20:09.to win at West Brom. While in the late kick-off,
:20:10. > :20:12.it was goalless between Arsenal and champions Leicester
:20:13. > :20:17.at the King Power stadium. Fresh from their Spanish Super Cup
:20:18. > :20:20.victory, Barcelona began the defence of their La Liga title with a heavy
:20:21. > :20:23.home win against Real Betis. Lionel Messi, still recognisable
:20:24. > :20:25.under that blonde hair, scored twice and Luis Suarez got
:20:26. > :20:29.a hat trick in the 6-2 win over And all that without Neymar,

:21:27. > :21:30.or porter, or security guard, you can get back home quickly.
:21:31. > :21:35.There wasn't too much extra work for police officers
:21:36. > :21:38.although in the early hours most people using the service had
:21:39. > :21:42.been out for the night, most could not believe it has taken
:21:43. > :21:46.so long for a 24-hour tube service in the capital.
