:01:00.:01:01.

than expected to 0.6% - pushed up by higher fuel prices

and transport costs. A 52-year-old man is killed

after being attacked by a dog that had been returned to its owner

linked to the use of a controversial pesticide which is temporarily

banned in the EU. Good evening and

:01:24.:01:44.

welcome to BBC News. History has been made for Team GB

:01:45.:01:47.

at the Olympics in Rio. Laura Trott has become Britain's

:01:48.:01:52.

most decorated female Within the past 20 minutes she's won

:01:53.:01:55.

gold in the women's omnium cycling. She went into the points race

:01:56.:02:03.

leading her field by some way and after an aggressive ride

:02:04.:02:07.

she confirmed her position as one She gave her reaction

:02:08.:02:10.

minutes after winning. I can't believe it, I actually can't

:02:11.:02:27.

believe it. I don't want to go home. I just did not expect that at all

:02:28.:02:32.

and I'm just so happy that it all came together. I honestly cannot

:02:33.:02:38.

thank everybody at home enough. The people you don't see, they have

:02:39.:02:42.

really helped me, the people who work at the gym, the people who look

:02:43.:02:47.

at the data, my nutritionist, and especially my coach who has to deal

:02:48.:02:55.

with my clap on a daily basis because I cannot do what he has

:02:56.:03:01.

given me, and today when it goes well, I'm over the moon. You say you

:03:02.:03:07.

weren't expecting it, I think everybody else here was, that was a

:03:08.:03:13.

special moment. You think people who here and do it time and again and to

:03:14.:03:20.

repeat their success in London, it's just, I can't even explain what I'm

:03:21.:03:24.

going through now. I am just so happy.

:03:25.:03:26.

There's been another gold for Britian in the sailing

:03:27.:03:30.

as Giles Scott has been confirmed as the winner in the Finn-class.

:03:31.:03:33.

He was already guaranteed his title after taking an unassailable lead

:03:34.:03:35.

It was Britain's fifth successive Olympic title in the event.

:03:36.:03:41.

Nile Wilson has extended Team GB's gymnastic's success.

:03:42.:03:45.

He took a bronze in the men's horizontal bar final

:03:46.:03:48.

after just being pipped to silver after an impressive performance

:03:49.:03:52.

And another medal for Team GB came in the form of 16-year-old

:03:53.:04:00.

Amy Tinkler, the youngest athlete of the entire British squad,

:04:01.:04:04.

who won a bronze in the women's floor exercise final.

:04:05.:04:08.

Earlier this summer she was sitting her GCSE exams.

:04:09.:04:12.

She was asked how it felt to be an Olympic medallist.

:04:13.:04:18.

I honestly don't have a clue. It's so unreal and I cannot believe that

:04:19.:04:28.

at all. I'm in total shock. When you did that routine, did you think that

:04:29.:04:33.

could be a medal or was it fourth or fifth place? My coach said he got

:04:34.:04:38.

nothing to lose, just go out and enjoy it and I knew I had done the

:04:39.:04:43.

best I could and whatever the result was, I would be happy with. You were

:04:44.:04:50.

only the second woman ever to win an Olympic medal for Great Britain, you

:04:51.:04:54.

are up there with the likes of Beth Weddle and you are not even 17. You

:04:55.:04:58.

seemed at home on the biggest stage of all. I love competing in front of

:04:59.:05:05.

big crowds, it's just incredible. I am so shocked. Let's go back to the

:05:06.:05:12.

developer room because Laura Trott has just received her gold medal.

:05:13.:05:20.

There was never any doubt, it was Laura Trott's win from start to

:05:21.:05:25.

finish in the Omnium, a spectacular performance at the end of a

:05:26.:05:30.

wonderful week, a world record in the women's team pursuit and AIDS on

:05:31.:05:34.

the performance in the woman's Omnium. A double Olympic champion

:05:35.:05:45.

for the second games in a row. She may have been an emotional and

:05:46.:05:48.

holding back the tears in the interview but I think she did well

:05:49.:05:52.

to hold them back there. I don't know how people do not cry when they

:05:53.:05:58.

hear the national anthem. There could be more success for Team GB,

:05:59.:06:05.

Jason Kenny will soon... Laura Trott's fourth Olympic title and

:06:06.:06:09.

there she is on the podium, receiving that gold medal as a

:06:10.:06:12.

result of that win in the Omnium. We'll have a full update

Centre in ten minutes. The radical British-born preacher,

:06:25.:06:26.

Anjem Choudary, has been found guilty of inviting support

for so-called Islamic State. Another man, Mohammed Mizanur

:06:55.:06:56.

and Moscow, and New York. All of the countries,

:06:57.:06:59.

inshallah, under Anjem Choudary has long been

:07:00.:07:01.

a provocative figure. For years, the police

:07:02.:07:09.

and intelligence agencies have been monitoring his

:07:10.:07:11.

movements and speeches. He knew this and, as a trained

:07:12.:07:13.

lawyer, he knew how to stay on the right side of the law

:07:14.:07:16.

- until now. If you look at his influence

:07:17.:07:22.

and the impact, that was then available to people

:07:23.:07:28.

across the world. Without a doubt, those speeches

:07:29.:07:29.

and material he posted was used In my view, the UK is a safer place

:07:30.:07:34.

with him behind bars. Choudary has now been convicted

:07:35.:07:41.

of inviting support The jury wasn't told that one

:07:42.:07:43.

of his keenest followers, Siddhartha Dhar, fled the UK

:07:44.:07:53.

while on bail and joined IS. He is suspected of being

:07:54.:07:58.

the new "Jihadi John", Dhar posted this picture of himself

when he arrived in Syria. His newborn son in one arm,

by British soldiers. Richard Dart was another

:08:26.:08:33.

Anjem Choudary disciple. Here, Choudary was actually

:08:34.:08:34.

converting him to Islam. Three years ago, Dart was jailed

:08:35.:08:49.

for terrorism offences. As a film-maker, his brother met

:08:50.:08:52.

the radical preacher He's kind of like a father figure

:08:53.:08:54.

to these young guys, He radicalises people,

:08:55.:08:58.

he indoctrinates them Choudary wasn't always

:08:59.:09:02.

so anti-Western. As a student, he liked to drink

:09:03.:09:15.

and wasn't offended by pictures But from his 20s, he became

:09:16.:09:18.

a political zealot. Anjem Choudary delivered his

:09:19.:09:22.

speeches on streets like this, Down the years, he's been linked

:09:23.:09:25.

to countless extremists, But he was never charged

:09:26.:09:35.

with any serious offence. It was the conflict in Syria

:09:36.:09:43.

which changed this. In the summer of 2014,

:09:44.:09:46.

the IS leadership declared the establishment of

:09:47.:09:49.

an Islamic state. Choudary pledged an oath

:09:50.:09:56.

of allegiance to it and, in talks, The leader who relished

being at the centre of events, and had been a teacher to so many,

had crossed the legal line. Anjem Choudary, in his

Andy Verity. A man has died in West Yorkshire

:10:37.:10:42.

after being attacked by a dog, a week after the animal had been

:10:43.:10:50.

returned to its owner It is thought 52-year-old

:10:51.:10:53.

David Ellam was trying to protect his own Yorkshire terrier

:10:54.:10:56.

when the larger dog turned on him. West Yorkshire Police said the dog

:10:57.:10:59.

involved had been seized by officers in June,

:11:00.:11:01.

as our correspondent It happened in that

:11:02.:11:03.

street as David Ellam Some of the neighbours said

:11:04.:11:10.

that they saw what happened, there were serious injuries

:11:11.:11:19.

to his leg, arm and face. He was taken to hospital

:11:20.:11:21.

but died 12 hours later. The larger dog was removed

:11:22.:11:31.

by police to kennels. This has been referred to

:11:32.:11:34.

the police complaints commission, because the dog had

:11:35.:11:37.

previously been seized but was returned to the owner

:11:38.:11:40.

just a few days ago. A 29-year-old man was arrested

:11:41.:11:49.

after the attack. He has been bailed

:11:50.:11:52.

following further enquiries. The number of wild bees

:11:53.:11:59.

across England is on the decline, They say the sharp fall of up to 30%

:12:00.:12:01.

can be linked to the use of a controversial pesticide which

:12:02.:12:06.

is temporarily banned in the EU. The research, which was published

:12:07.:12:10.

in the journal Nature Communications, was carried out

:12:11.:12:12.

by scientists based in Oxfordshire. It's an idyllic rural scene

:12:13.:12:16.

here but across the countryside Bees are in dramatic decline

:12:17.:12:25.

and the problem has been linked to habitat loss,

:12:26.:12:29.

climate change and disease, but in recent years a light has been

:12:30.:12:30.

shone on a group of pesticides called neonicotinoids

:12:31.:12:34.

and scientists believe they have evidence they are causing

:12:35.:12:35.

a widespread problem. They're vital for the environment -

:12:36.:12:46.

pollinating our flowers, But Britain's bees are in trouble

:12:47.:12:50.

and now scientists say there's evidence that pesticides are linked

:12:51.:12:58.

to their widespread decline. In farmland across the country,

:12:59.:13:02.

neonicotinoid chemicals have been This field of oilseed rape is just

:13:03.:13:05.

about ready for harvest and it's this crop that's treated

:13:06.:13:12.

with the insecticide. The chemical's applied to seeds

:13:13.:13:19.

before they are planted and this protects the plants from pests

:13:20.:13:22.

as they grow. But since 2013, farms haven't been

:13:23.:13:24.

allowed to use the pesticide, after the European Union put

:13:25.:13:29.

a temporary ban in place. Smaller lab-based studies suggested

:13:30.:13:33.

they were harming bees. However, this latest research

:13:34.:13:39.

from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology analysed their effects

:13:40.:13:41.

on dozens of species across the whole of England

:13:42.:13:43.

and they found that bees that foraged on neonicotinoid treated

:13:44.:13:46.

oilseed rape were three times more likely to be in decline

:13:47.:13:48.

than the species that didn't. What we've been able to do

:13:49.:13:56.

is massively increase the scale We are looking at the whole of

:13:57.:13:59.

England. We are looking at long-time periods,

:14:00.:14:02.

over 18 years and looking at 62 And it's this massive increase

:14:03.:14:06.

in scale which separates this study But one company that makes

:14:07.:14:09.

neonicotinoids says it is not clear that the pesticide is to blame

:14:10.:14:33.

and the ban is hurting farmers. The alternatives, when it comes

:14:34.:14:36.

to growing oilseed rape in a UK landscape, seem to be

:14:37.:14:38.

very few and the ones that are there don't

:14:39.:14:41.

appear to be really helping. We are seeing a lot of destruction

:14:42.:14:43.

of crops out there and farmers are really struggling to be able

:14:44.:14:46.

to grow this crop in the UK now. This growing body of research,

:14:47.:14:50.

on the plight of bees, is currently Next year they'll decide

:14:51.:14:53.

whether to lift the ban It's clearly an incredibly complex

:14:54.:14:56.

issue and one of the biggest problems is it's nearly impossible

:14:57.:15:02.

to grow oilseed rape without pesticides, so if you get

:15:03.:15:04.

rid of neonicotinoids you have to replace them with another

:15:05.:15:07.

chemical and that may bring with it a host of other environmental

:15:08.:15:10.

problems, but on the other hand bees are essential

:15:11.:15:14.

for farmers, they pollinate One thing is for sure,

it is going to be Let's go back to the Olympics
