Russian anger over Paralympic ban

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Russia has criticised a ban on its athletes competing at the Rio Paralympics as cynical and politically motivated. Virgin Trains and Jeremy Corbyn, are locked in a row about whether he could get a seat on one of its services. The flood of Venezuelans crossing into Colombia and Pam Ayres pays poetic tribute to our returning Olympic heroes (picture credit: EPA/Barbara Walton).
