Heading home - Team GB fly out of Rio tonight, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
as they celebrate their most successful Games in | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
After 19 days of competition, a spectacular Closing Ceremony | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
And a place in history for Team GB's athletes, who will bring | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
home 67 medals - more than they won in London. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Fly home, medals in our pockets that make us the most | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
But away from the Games, the city's violence has continued. | :00:36. | :00:42. | |

And in Sportsday on BBC News, after Manchester City's Joe Hart | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
was left out again, England manager, Sam Allardyce, has expressed | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Team GB will fly home tonight - on board flight BA 2016 - | :01:28. | :01:56. | |
a British Airways plane with a golden nose, after their most | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
They finished in second place behind the United States with 67 medals, | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
beating their London 2012 medal haul. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Following their sporting success, Downing Street has confirmed | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
there will be no formal cap on the number of athletes | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
and coaches who can be recognised in the New Year Honours. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
The Rio Games came to a spectacular close last night, as Brazil handed | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
over the baton to the next hosts, Tokyo. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
From Rio here's our sports editor, Dan Roan. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
Rio certainly went out with a bang. Its farewell to the Olympics as | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
spectacular as the sport which prescreeded it. Team GB lit up these | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Games, turning up for last night's Closing Ceremony in red, white and | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
blue flashing shoes. They'd earned the right to party, after their best | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
Olympics for more than a century. This evening, leaving here, having | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
exceeded all expectations. To be able to fly home, the medals in our | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
pockets that make us the most successful team ever, it's just | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
something that we couldn't have predicted. When we flew out, we had | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
hoped it, dreamed it. But the fact it's happened is amazing for | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
everyone. Team GB surpassed their record breaking performance at | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
London 2012, the first of their remarkable haul of 67 medals was won | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
by Adam Peaty and the swimmer says they can do even better in Tokyo in | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
four years. The swimming team now is very young, so we're only going to | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
get stronger than this. Now I'm going to work hard to make sure we | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
can carry the momentum as well as we've done now. This evening members | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
of Team GB were in high spirits at Rio airport, as they prepared to fly | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
home. As in 2012, they'll return to a heroes' welcome. They received | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
congratulations today from the Queen and many athletes are thought to be | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
in line for honours in recognition of their achievements. The man who | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
led the team here in Rio told me that Tokyo would be tougher still. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
You'll have a stronger Japanese team on home turf, compared to Brazil, | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
across more sports. You'll have China, for various reasons, | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
political reasons, wanting to do really well on their doorstep in | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Japan. We know they'll be strong. This squad is a developmental team | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
going through to that. You'll have a full Russian delegation and | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
resurgent Australia. It will be tougher. But we have the talent | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
there. Rio officially handed over to Tokyo | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
last night. Japan's Prime Minister making a surprise appearance, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
disguised as popular video game character Super Mario. For British | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
sport the task of achieving another glorious Games begins now. Dan Roan, | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
BBC News, Rio. The swimwear firm, Speedo USA, | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
has ended its sponsorship deal with the American swimming star, | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
Ryan Lochte, after the athlete lied about being robbed at gunpoint | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
during a drunken night out in Rio. Lochte has made several apologies, | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
but three companies have now ended their sponsorship | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
agreements with him. Speedo said it could not condone | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
the swimmer's actions and will instead donate part | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
of his fee to charity. Well, Rio 2016 ended spectacularly, | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
but the Games were certainly not without their problems - | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
played out against a backdrop of huge economic turmoil, | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
political unrest as well as anger from many at the amount | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
of money spent on them. And the big question - | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
as always with the Olympics - what will their legacy be | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
for the host country? Our Brazil correspondent, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Wyre Davies, reports. As Rio said goodbye to the Olympics, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
a moment to take it all in. For the last two weeks, | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
the city has put its many problems to one side, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
but they're problems and divisions that can't simply be discarded | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
and forgotten about. The Olympic champion | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
in your home country... The power of sport as a force | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
for change was typified by Rafaela Silva, Brazil's first | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
gold of the games. A woman from one of Rio's | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
toughest neighbourhoods, amazed by her own achievement | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
and optimistic about what it meant. TRANSLATION: If my medal can help | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
persuade people that the Games are good for Brazil, | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
they're not always of money and they have improved | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
the image of the country, Rio certainly felt like a more | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
confident, safer place during the Olympics, | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
but this is what it took to guarantee the security | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
of tourists and athletes. There have been almost | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
unprecedented levels of security Literally thousands of heavily armed | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
soldiers on the streets. While they've kept many parts of Rio | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
safe for the last two weeks, elsewhere, things have | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
continued just as normal. Almost every day, before | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
and during the Games, there were heavy shootouts | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
between police and the gangs that It was particularly bad here in this | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
sprawling community within sight A community almost untouched | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
by the Games. TRANSLATION: For us, | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
they may as well have taken place We didn't see any investment or any | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
improvement in the community. But the Olympics did serve | :07:17. | :07:31. | |
as a catalyst to transform some New infrastructure and previously | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
no-go areas revitalised, already Brazil and Rio in particular bet | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
on the cycle of events as a way of pushing forward a certain model | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
of development, a certain model I don't think it benefitted | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
the majority of the population. There are challenges ahead, not | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
least the forthcoming Paralympics. City and state coffers are almost | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
bare, but the so-called marvellous Staging the Olympics was by no means | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
easy for Brazil at times. What impact will their experience | :08:05. | :08:19. | |
have on the Olympic movement? I think if you'd told organisers at | :08:20. | :08:31. | |
the IOC and locally three weeks ago how Rio 2016 would pass off, they | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
would certainly have accepted that. They'd have settled for it. In the | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
immediate term, the Olympic movement will be feeling great relief, as | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Wyre said in his report. These were the first Games to be staged in | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
South America, they took place in a country going through political | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
upheaval, economic recession. There were concerns over security, over | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Zika, over pollution, given all that, there's a sense that Rio | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
really got away with it. It could have been a great deal worse than it | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
was. Having said all that, there were difficulties, of course, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
unforeseen costs, which have impacted the Paralympics, which | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
begin here in around two weeks. They've had to be pared back. There | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
was trouble with security, empty seats as well. Because of that all, | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Rio could be a water shed moment. It will force the IOC to consider | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
whether or not the Games going forward have to be cheaper, smaller, | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
less of a burden, certainly when it comes to places like this. There's | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
no sign of that, after all, five new sports have just been added to the | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
programme for Tokyo 2020. But maybe the IOC will have to decide whether | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
or not it wants to be a little less ambitious, go to places which | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
represent less of a risk. I think also, given the great doping scandal | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
that dominated the build up to the Games, the IOC have to work out how | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
to restore faith and trust in the integrity of their sports. Despite | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
all of those concerns going forward, and the questions the IOC have to | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
grapple with, one thing's certain - for millions watching around the | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
world on television, Rio 2016 will always be associated with a | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
spectacular back drop and captivating sport. It will be | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
particularly fondly remembered back in Britain, of course. Dan Roan, in | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
Rio, thank you. The Justice Secretary, Liz Truss, | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
says measures to tackle the growing threat of Islamist extremism | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
in jails in England and Wales The Government has announced plans | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
to segregate what it calls the most dangerous Islamist | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
prisoners from other inmates, in a bid to stop the | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
spread of extremism. But prison reformers say | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
there should also be a focus on safeguarding vulnerable inmates | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
at risk of being radicalised. Among the most infamous Islamist | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
extremists now incarcerated in Britain are Anjem Syed Choudary, | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
found guilty last month of supporting so-called | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Islamic State, Abdulla Ahmed Ali, who led a failed Al-Qaeda plot | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
to blow up multiple passenger jets over the Atlantic, | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
and the 21 July bombers, who tried to attack London | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
two weeks after 7/7. They're just a few of | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
the men who could spread We know it happens, men | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
who converted in jail include Richard Reid, | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
the shoebomber, and Nathan Cuffy, who unknowingly supplied the gun | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
for a failed Islamic State The new Justice Secretary told me | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
it was now time to keep the worst There is a risk there of those | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
highly subversive individuals being able to collaborate | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
with each other. That's why we're talking | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
about a number of small units rather than a single, | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
larger unit, which has been tried in the past, | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
and where there have The idea is to create a set of | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
prisons, within prisons, special units inside high security | :11:37. | :11:52. | |
jails like Belmarsh, where a few of the worst extremists | :11:53. | :11:53. | |
can be kept completely isolated from the rest of the | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
prison population. Jamal, not his real name, | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
spent two years in prisons, including Belmarsh, where he saw | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
young, violent criminals and drug dealers being quickly radicalised | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
by a hard core of extremists. There is an Islamic movement | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
in prison and it's not an Islamic movement based on the beautiful | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
virtues of Islam, no, it's an Islamic movement based | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
upon bullying and based upon protection and | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
based upon violence. Dal Babu, previously a senior London | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
police officer an a Muslim, warns special units for extremists | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
are a risky solution. The danger is if you put | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
people into one unit, The danger is these individuals | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
want to become the individuals that It's very dangerous that we have | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
these individuals there. Prisons are full of vulnerable | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
people. We want to try and ensure that those | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
vulnerable people do not get seduced Beyond the proposed special units, | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
all prison staff will get further But there are no plans to set up | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
special units in Scottish prisons, where Islamist extremism is not seen | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
as a major problem. A brief look at some of the day's | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
other news stories. The former Radio 1 DJ Chris Denning | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
has pleaded guilty to a series of child sex offences dating back | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
as far as 1969. The 75-year-old - | :13:19. | :13:22. | |

James Reynolds reports. This continent's most powerful | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
leaders may be losing the UK, but they want to show that the idea | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
of a united Europe Matteo Renzi, Angela Merkel | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
and Francois Hollande flew This is where the idea | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
of a united Europe was born. TRANSLATION: Many people felt that | :14:42. | :14:54. | |
after Brexit, Europe We respect the choice that has been | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
made by the British people, but, at the same time, | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
we want to be able to write The trip has set off | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
reflection in others. The President of the European | :15:08. | :15:11. | |

citizens to stockpile food and water Citizens are advised to store enough | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
food to last them 10 days. Germany has been on a state of alert | :16:19. | :16:28. | |
after a series of deadly attacks. This all sounds very radical? It | :16:29. | :16:42. | |
does. In effect, Sophie, for the first time since the end of the Cold | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
War, German citizens are being told to prepare themselves for the worst. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
On Wednesday, Angela Merkel and her Cabinet are expected to rubber-stamp | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
a new civil emergency plan. That is expected to contain the | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
recommendation that households should ensure they have adequate | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
water supplies and enough food to last them for ten days in the event | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
of some kind of national emergency. It is not yet published, but already | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
it is causing huge controversy here in Germany, with opposition MPs | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
accusing the government of scaremongering. The government, for | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
their part, say this plan has been a long time coming. They say they have | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
been looking at this for a number of years. Nevertheless, its emergence | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
now could not have come at a more sensitive time. It is a month or so | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
since what are thought to have been the first IS terror attacks here on | :17:31. | :17:36. | |

in the south of the country, close to the border with Syria. | :17:59. | :18:01. | |

It's a neighbourhood of Gaziantep that once felt safe, where | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
children play freely and rarely thought of danger. | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
22 of the victims were under 14, the youngest was just four. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
All those here have lost somebody, friends or relatives. | :19:00. | :19:06. | |

The signs point to so-called Islamic State. | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
The government says it is unsure if the bomber was | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
Yet again, Turks are asking why terror keeps striking here. | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
The answer is five years of Syria's war that has | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
fostered IS and replaced childhood innocence with murder, in which life | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
has almost lost its value, so often is it taken. | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
It's not only destroying Syria, but has also dragged Turkey | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
into a conflict seemingly without end. | :20:09. | :20:09. | |
These are said to be Syrian rebel fighters, | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
They are here preparing an imminent offensive | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
against the IS-held province of Jarablus. | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Turkey is backing it to drive IS and its | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
own enemy, the Syrian Kurds, back from the border. | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
We met one of the rebels waiting for the green light. | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
He tells me the 1500 fighters will be given Turkish artillery | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
The Kurds want to attack there too, he says, | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
We are ready to die for this, to give our | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
Victims of the war across the border that | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
has reduced lives to numbers and left this country asking | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
The first of around 650,000 ballot papers have been sent out today | :20:58. | :21:07. | |
to people who can vote in the Labour leadership contest. | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Party members will get a say, along with those belonging to unions | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
and almost 130,000 registered supporters. | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
Our political correspondent Vicki Young's report contains | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
He's getting backing from some senior Labour figures, | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
but Owen Smith needs to persuade hundreds of thousands of signed-up | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
supporters that he'd do a better job than Jeremy Corbyn. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
So today he made a bold promise, to put them | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
And he did all he could to distance himself from the years | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
when Tony Blair took New Labour into power. | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
The leadership of our party then was more interested in good | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
relations with the banks, big business and the media, | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
than with staying in touch with our grassroots. | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
And he said the era where Labour members were seen | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
I will bind myself to the decisions made by Conference on party policy. | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
I will not seek to overturn it, whatever my views, but I will seek | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
This evening, Jeremy Corbyn joined a team of campaigners in south | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
Our party, 500,000 members and rising, is part of the community | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
And being part of the community in every part of this | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
country means that we fight lots of local campaigns. | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
And every time you win a local campaign on anything, | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
They say he's inspiring people to join the party all over the UK, | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
and theyre confident he'll still be leading Labour at the end of | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
Labour Party membership is now at its highest since 1979. | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
When Tony Blair won his landslide victory, membership | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
That nearly halved after the Iraq war in 2003. | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
And the slump continued until Ed Miliband took over in 2010. | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
But the biggest rise has come under Jeremy Corbyn. | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
Now there are more than 500,000 full members. | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
After rows about the rules, not all those new members can | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
Other supporters and trades unionists can, so 750,000 people | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
The recent surge in those signing up to support Labour has been | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
remarkable, and the party now has more members than any other | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
But this leadership contest has come about because of deep divisions over | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
the direction the party should go in next. | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
Bringing the two sides together will not be easy. | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
Hundreds of people have observed a minute silence at Shaw in West | :23:43. | :23:54. | |
Sussex to mark the first anniversary of a crash at an airshow that killed | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
11 people. A vintage jet came down on a main road outside the show when | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
a manoeuvre went wrong. An air accident report is not expected to | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
published until the autumn. There has been heavy flooding in the | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Yorkshire Dales. The manager of the White Star Cave said he had not seen | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
such bad conditions for 30 years. A number of roads in North Yorkshire | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
have been flooded. The first Islamist militant | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
to be brought before the International Criminal Court | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
in The Hague has pleaded guilty Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi admitted | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
leading rebel forces who demolished mausoleums | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
in Timbuktu in Mali in 2012. The rise in Islamic extremism has | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
led to the destruction of many irreplaceable cultural monuments | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
in Afghanistan, Syria, Our world affairs editor, | :24:38. | :24:38. | |
John Simpson, reports The glamorous sounding city of | :24:39. | :24:53. | |
Timbuktu was once a centre of culture rivalling medieval Europe. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Its buildings and shrines among the glories of Africa. Then, in 2012, | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
Al-Qaeda captured it and, with the help of locals. This was the result. | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
The court will now proceed. Now there is a reckoning. Ahmad al-Faqi | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Al Mahdi, the man in charge of the destruction, admitted his guilt | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
today. He advised Muslims everywhere not to get involved in the kind of | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
thing he had done, because it harm humanity in general. Do you | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
understand the crime you are admitting can carry a maximum term | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
of 30 years? There is a pattern to this. Back in 2001, the Taliban, | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
then ruling Afghanistan, blew up huge statues. 1500 years of history | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
gone. Afghanistan was a kind of black hole, where the most extreme | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
versions of Islam could take charge. By destroying cultural monuments | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
which the world reveres, extremists demonstrate how ferocious they are | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
capable of being. This is Palmieri, in Syria, controlled until last May | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
by so-called Islamic State. Then, the Russians chased them out. In the | :26:18. | :26:28. | |
arena where IS executed prisoners, a Russian orchestra played. If it | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
wasn't for the Russians, this beautiful place would still be under | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
the control of Islamic State. They may well be using it for their | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
atrocities still. Extremism has done terrible cultural damage. In Iraq, | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
when IS volunteers stormed museums in Mosul, in 2014, they smashed | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
anything they believed was idolatrous. Now it is being pushed | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
back everywhere. Timbuktu is free of extremism as well now. In court | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
today, the prosecutor explained why these cultural things matter. They | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
are relics of a great chapter in humankind's intellectual and | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
spiritual development on the continent. That is what gave | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
Timbuktu its standing in the world. Now, at last, Timbuktu can rebuild | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
and replace what it has lost. It's one of the biggest energy | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
projects in the world. In Canada, around two million | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
barrels of oil are being produced every day from what are called tar | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
sand deposits beneath They stretch over a vast area | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
the size of Greece. Canada is determined to extract | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
as much oil as it can from beneath the wilderness, | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
but the extraction process produces huge amounts | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
of greenhouse gas emissions. And environmentalists say such plans | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
fly in the face of Canada's From Alberta, Stephen | :27:50. | :27:52. | |
Sackur has this report. In the remote north of Alberta | :27:53. | :27:58. | |

of the Athabasca oil sand deposit and we're heading | :28:02. | :28:08. | |
to our Christian Lake facility. This is what a state-of-the-art tar | :28:09. | :28:11. | |

from this massive potential It's not just Greenpeace | :29:19. | :29:24. | |
that is saying this. It's organisations like | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
the International Energy Agency that are saying that three quarters | :29:31. | :29:34. | |

Justin Trudeau. He went to the UN to sign | :29:41. | :29:47. | |
the Paris Climate Accord. Canada is now committed | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
to cutting greenhouse gas But big oil brings | :29:53. | :29:54. | |

in terms of international No, I think what we're doing | :30:35. | :30:36. | |
in Alberta is we've taken the first steps on the continent, | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
and in the industrialised world, to recognise that we have a problem | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
and to take action on it. We are leaders in that way | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
