The Russian Olympic Committe says that most of the team will be allowed to take part in the Rio games. It confirmed that 271 have been cleared to compete, with five more waiting for final decision. Alex Capstick reports from Rio. The last-minute vetting1 process of Russian athletes followed stunning2 revelations that the state-operated doping program for many years across mang sports. The country's track and field team was barred from the Olympics. But the IOC decided3 aganist a blanket ban,saying it was unfair on those who had never committed drug violations4. Instead, individual federations5 will be given the task of judging Russian competitors. Only a few of those governing bodies have followed the tougher approach adopted by the IAAF which runs international athletics6. Earlier, the head of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach declared the drug cheats of the Rio Olympics would have no place to hide.
The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, has strongly denied that a 400-million-dollar payment to Iran was a ransom7 for the release of American prisoners. He said it was paid to settle a decades-old dispute over a failed military equipment deal. The cash transfer coincided with the signing of a nuclear agreement with Iran, and prisoners swapped8 in which 4 Americans were released. Republicans including the presidential candidate, Donald Trump9, have been attacking the administration over the timing10 of the transfer.
President Obama has confirmed that both presidential candidates will be given security briefings to prepare them for office if they won but warned that these were classified. Mr Obama has previously11 described the Republican candidate Donald Trump as unfit to be president. Mr Obama also dismissed claims by Donald Trump that the US presidential election could be rigged. The federal government doesn't run the election process. If Mr Trump is suggesting that there is a conspiracy12 theory that is being propagated across the country. That is ridiculous. That doesn't make any sense, and I don't think anybody would take that seriously.
Military scientists in the United States say they have carried out tests showing that experimental vaccines14 can protect monkeys from the Zika virus. More details from Jane Dripper. This research is based in Massachusetts and Maryland, published results five weeks ago, establishing their potential vaccines could ward15 off the virus in mice. And now they've shown the same success in 20 monkeys. They tested three types of vaccine13, two using genes16 from Zika and one which was an inactive replica17 of the virus. All three stimulated18 the immune system and gave full protection. The next step would be early trials possibly late this year to establish that the vaccine is safe and effective in humans. BBC news.

The New Zealand judge appointed to lead an independent investigation22 into historic child sexual abuse in England and Wales has resigned. Lowell Goddard was appointed early last year after her two predecessors23 quit amid controversy24 about their links to the British establishment.

An Argentine judge has ordered the arrest of Hebe de Bonafini, the head of the human rights group, the Mothers of the Plaza26 de Mayo. The group led the fight for justice for the victims of military rule in Argentina. Here's Candace Piette. Hebe de Bonafini who is 87 had refused to appear in court to give evidence twice. This time she managed to elude27 police sent to arrest her by boarding a van bound for the Plaza de Mayo square to address her supporters. The judge is looking into the alleged28 embezzlement29 of millions of dollars from a low-income housing project in the name of the Mothers. Mrs Bonafini is not personally accused in the case.

据总统奥巴马证实,共和两党候选人将获得国家安全简报,但警告称简报内容必须保密。此前,奥巴马称特朗普不适合当选美国总统。奥巴马也否认了特朗普称选举会被“操纵”之说。联邦政府不会参与大选整个过程。特朗普认为国家笼罩在阴谋论中。那实在是无稽之谈。这完全没有道理,我想没有人会把这当回事。
