Another gold for Team GB, as Charlotte Dujardin

triumphs in the dressage - retaining her Olympic title.

COMMENTATOR: Here's the real test now. We're off.

She passes with flying colours on her horse Valegro to become only

the second British woman in history to win three Olympic golds.

You know, London I had no expectation, no pressure

Today I felt a huge amount of pressure and expectation.

For me, it could be one of the last rides on Valegro.

You know, there is talk of retirement for him.

For me to finish it in this way, it's a really emotional time.

There was also success in the women's hammer.

But for Team GB, and this evening Mark Cavendish, more hopes

of a medal in the omnium, cycling's answer to the heptathlon.

This moved him up to silver position, with just one race left.

Could it be another glittering night?

That final race is now under way. Some 160 laps and already we've had

drama. Mark Cavendish involved in a crash. He's OK, but other riders are

out. One had to be stretchered off. He's currently in bronze medal

position. We should know the result in 20 minutes.

One of the big stars of these Olympics - Usain Bolt -

will be back in action tomorrow, as he begins his bid

for an eighth Olympic gold medal in the 200 metres.

Last night, he proved he is still the fastest man

in the world by winning gold in the 100 metres for

Three Games, three golds. Usain Bolt's sprint supremecy continues.

Olympic 100 metres champion yet again.

COMMENTATOR: Bolt left a little in the blocks. Gatlin is charging.

Usain Bolt gets it! Bolt started slowly in Rio. The man cast as

athletics' saviour soon surged to glory. Going to a place no-one in

history had been before and affirming his status as a true

legend of this and of all sport. For once, he may have been outstaged.

This 14-year-old South African producing one of the most

spectacular pieces of running, the sport had ever seen in the final of

the 400 metres. COMMENTATOR: It is a new world

record! 17 years ago the great Michael Johnson ran the 400 metres

in a time many thought would never be beaten.

COMMENTATOR: The world record has gone. Today he told me he could

follow in Bolt's foot steps. He could be the next superstar of this

sport. It doesn't diminish Usain Bolt at all. Those are two fantastic

performances last night that we were treated to and for very different

reasons. With the build up to these Olympics being dominated by a

doping-related scandal, what Usain Bolt achieved here last night, when

crossing the line, will have come as a huge relief to organisers,

shifting the focus and giving these Games the iconic moments they

craved. No-one was more thrilled by that

performance last night than his coach 74-year-old great grandmother

Anna Botha. Today the pair able to reflect on a night athletics will

never forget. I've always believed I could do. It I think I had my

doubts, this championships. The Lord has been so great to me. I'm so, so

thankful for what happened. It's unbelievable. I can't put it in

words. It's such a mixture of feelings and on the one side, you're

on a high, on the other side you want to cry, you know? It's a bit

difficult to explain what's going through your mind. Even

Let's take a look at the medal table so far on Day 10.

In the lead is the USA with 26 gold medals,

but after the weekend's success, Great Britain has moved up

into second place with 16 golds, 16 silvers and eight bronzes,

That's just eight short of Team GB's official target.

The former Aston Villa striker, Dalian Atkinson, has died,

after a taser was fired at him by police in Shropshire.

Officers were called to his father's home in Telford in the early

hours of the morning, after they were alerted about

The striker played for a number of clubs but is perhaps best known

for his time at Aston Villa and this memorable performance

against Wimbledon in 1992, earning him the title

Immediately I saw two police officers shouting to an African

The gentleman stumbled forward so he obviously was still moving

forward and they tasered him around the midriff.

The police officers that were there, the only ones that were there,

scrambled towards him and started kicking him around the body.

All I could hear was boots hitting him.

She is the only person we know of to have made these claims.

Officers have spent most of the day here, speaking to neighbours.

Dalian Atkinson's nephew told us that his uncle had kidney problems

He heard the news about his uncle's death from a friend at work.

Inevitably angry, frustrated, annoyed, overwhelmed.

What questions are going around in your head?

Because the damage is done, you've got to try to develop

preventatives through this, for example that's why I say as soon

as they deploy a taser, you've got to deploy an ambulance.

The Republican Donald Trump says he'll fight radical Islam

by introducing "extreme vetting" if he becomes president -

banning immigrants from certain parts of the world from

In the speech tonight, he said there'd be a new ideological test

for admission to the US - which would vet applicants on issues

like religious freedom, gender equality and gay rights.

Our chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt reports from Washington.

This was billed as a major speech - how Donald Trump would fight radical

Islam if he became President of the United States.

He said there would be no more attempts to change

If I become President, the era of nation-building will be

brought to a very swift and decisive end.

He spoke of finding common ground with Russia in the fight

He also said he would use ideological warfare,

including shutting down access to the internet.

But his toughest comments related to immigration

He said he would temporarily stop immigration from some of the most

We don't need more, and these are problems like we've

This speech was intended to revive his flagging

When Donald Trump spoke of an extreme ideological screening test

for migrants, what he didn't do was to provide any details. He did say

that those who hoped to come to America had to prove that they

shared America's values. He went on to say that he himself, if he became

president, would fight the so-called War on Terror viciously if

necessary. Certainly amongst his core supporters and those listening

to him, they liked what they heard, how this will play more widely, and

amongst independent voters in the United States, that's more difficult

to judge. A brief look at some of the day's

now, and after the weekend's medal haul is Rio shaping up well

for Team GB? London 2012 was their

best ever medal haul - finishing 3rd with a total

of 65 medals. Four years before that they picked

up 47 medals in Beijing, 30 at the Athens games,

28 in Sydney. In Atlanta, in 1996,

Great Britain went home with just 15 Our sports correspondent

Natalie Pirks has been finding out. Records tumbling,

history being made. These games have so far

surpassed all expectations. And it's all thanks

to an injection of cash and one In 1996, in Atlanta,

there was just one gold medal - Redgrave and Pinsent,

in the men's coxless pairs. A year later, the Government started

diverting lottery funds directly into sport,

meaning athletes could For those here now,

their medals are the direct I do not get any extra money other

than the lottery money. That's it and without that you're

not windsurfing, not going to the Olympic Games, not doing

any Olympic sport. How much cash has been

spent since Atlanta? There was a ?69 million investment

for the Sydney Games but by Athens,

the investment have gone up. London won the right to host

the Olympics and three years later in Beijing there was a huge

increase in funding, to ?265 For London it was up

again and it paid off. Britain finished third in the medal

table in their home games. Here the total investment

in both the Olympic and Paralympic teams is almost ?350

success is by design We have enjoyed the privilege

now of National Lottery investment for 18 years

and that has allowed UK a targeted way and allow athletes

to train full-time, an eight-year investment, not a four-year project,

with the best world-class coaching, science, medicine support

wrapped around them. It's not just traditional sports

like cycling and rowing that have excelled. Diving and gymnastics have

had an excellent Games. Swimming has posted its best performance at an

Olympics since 1908. Your weekly flutter is directly influencing the

medal table. Ultimately, funding only provides the foundations. It is

the athletes that must deliver the inspiration. So far these games,

Team GB is spoiling a nation that no longer hopes, but expects.
