ipc president phillip craven says funds from sponsors have fallen far short of the initial target, and ticket sales for the games starting september 7th have been slow with only 12% sold so far. craven says the ipc has secured an additional $47 million from the city of rio de janeiro, but he says the central government hasn't done its part. during the bidding process, the government pledged to shoulder half the budget. >> never before in the 56-year history of the paralympic games have we faced circumstances like this. clearly brazil is in a far different position now to the one that it was in october 2009 when it won the right to stage both games. >> craven says there's been a delalay in covering travel cost for athletes. that means ten countries may struggle to get their teams to the rio game >>> sales in july at major supermarkets in japan improved slightly, showing the first rise in five months. the japan chain stores association put total sales for the month from more than 9400 stores at about $11 billion. that's up 0.2% in yen terms from the same month last year. hot weather in t

>> this was a stronger stance compared toe ipc the ioc.he end of the day, it is important to take into account the fate of some of these sportsmen who have not been proven to be doped. it is political. we need to be wary with these decisions. on the athletics. some incredible swimming last night in rio. a 19thael phelps with olympic medal. more than anyone in history. catherine, a very impressive performance, beating every expectation. what is interesting, sometimes it is the people you least expect to pull through. i am thinking about tennis, where there were big names eliminated. >> novak djokovic was expected to win the medal, and lost to juan martin del potro. a lot of surprises and open ended outcome to be expected. gettingilliams sisters eliminated. was a disappointment. i guess it will be not in four years time, they are getting a to old, it was impressive see them competing together. >> what are the biggest sports to keep our eyes on? >> we hope to see more and basketball. we hope france will capitalize on its potential in swimming

the ipc rendering a a stronger response some would say than the ioc in this situation. what's been the reaction to russia's paralympic athletes being banned? >> i think the decision today has been met with some praise but also some sensor. it's been met with praise people feel he took the lead where thomas back should have taken just a few days ago in issuing a blanket ban. but let's not forget the blanket ban implicates clean athletes. that's what people are perhaps criticizing. as you look at the stats around the russian athletes and number of medals between 2010 and they almost doubled their medal count. it left from 38 medals in vancouver to 80 in sochi. when i spoke to phillip craven earlier today, he couldn't hide his displeasure and his anger at what he had seen in this evidence of state-sponsored doping. he said the russians were favoring medals over morals. so a very different approach from the ioc, but one that certainly created many headlines here today. >> 4:11 in rio. thank you so much. we will see the next day of competition in what lies ahead for people.

the ipc said that he was disgusted by russia's "medals over morals mentality." >> the the committee was informed of our decision earlier today. and this is a decision that has placed a huge burden upon all our shoulders. and that the decision we've had to take in the best interest of the paraolympic movement today in moving forward. >> the russian paraolympic committee plans to appeal to the court of arbitration for sports, which is located in switzerland. >> gosh, you know, i mean first the olympics now the paraolympics. >> yes, what they decided was to let the individual governing bodies of the sport decide to do that. the entire track and field team was already out. and the other individual sports were deciding what to do with it. >> what a disappointment. >> no question about it, a huge doping scandal. >> well, no doping scandal about the giants, but they are not winning. either way right now. giants are finding new ways to waste good outings by madison bumgarner. he would allow two hits in washington today. he got some help behind it with eduardo nunez. he grabbed for the out farts

e he said the the ipc were more set up like a federation. the ioc operated under different structures and different rules of their own. many people blaacking the move saying they backed it with courage. >> let's turn to the positives now. what's everyone talking about? >> the australians were leading the count in the medals until the united states stepped into the pool a couple hours ago. we had a dramatic couple hours in the swimming pool led by michael phelps, who was in the men's 4 by 100 meter relay. e we weren't sure whether or not he was going to compete, but it's a good thing. he stepped into the second leg when the u.s. were dragging behind the defending champions france and pulled them ahead. from that point on the usa dominated the race and went on to win gold. it's michael phelps's 19th gold medal and his 23rd overall, just one of, i believe, four other medals he could pick up at this olympic games. it's great to see him back in the pool. he retired after the london 2012 games four years ago. the other major headline from the "usa
