She leads the women's cyclists to victory in the team pursuit | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
It just felt like this machine had finally come together. | :00:19. | :00:31. | |
And there's gold too in the rowing as the men's eights reclaimed | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
the Olympic title for the first time since the Sydney games in 2000. | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
We will have all the latest from Rio and more medal prospects to come. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Also tonight. Relief for many as the Government | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
says it will guarantee EU-funded projects when Britain | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
leaves the Union. The father and ex-husband | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
of a British woman, suspected to be the victim of a so-called honour | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
killing, appear The cyclist Laura Trott has become | :00:57. | :00:57. | |
the first British woman to win three She led the women's team | :00:58. | :01:24. | |
pursuit in the final against the United States, | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
at the velodrome at Rio - breaking the world record | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
in the process. And moments later, her team-mate | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
Becky James claimed silver Earlier in the day, there was more | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
success for Britain's rowers. The men's eight won | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
gold in their final - Would it be another night for | :01:41. | :01:58. | |
British pedal power? The women's team pursuit, Olympic champions, | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
world record holders. Now is to live up to their billing. For Laura Trott | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
Elinor Barker, Katie Archibald and John Russell shunned it would be a | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
challenge. The USA had looked quick but just when it mattered, they were | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
unstoppable. Gold for Great Britain! That smashed the world record. Cue | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
jubilation and for Laura Trott a place in the record books, the first | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
British woman to wind three Olympic gold medals. On the start line and | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
it was something I wanted to achieve and to do it alongside these three | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
girls was incredible. The feeling we were getting riding around, it felt | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
like this machine had finally come together. And we knew we could | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
achieve the time. Have also British hopes in the women's keirin, Becky | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
James has battled illness and injury to get here. In the final she | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
powered around the outside for a superb silver. After all she has | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
been through, the most emotional medals. It was another spectacular | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
day at the rowing. Time for the big boats, the gates. And after bronze | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
in London, the British men produced a golden performance. The lead from | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
start to finish while the rival spot close, they were not enough. It is | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Great Britain! Dominant and quite dazzling as a display. That was the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
angriest, the fiercest, the ruthless, absolutely everything. It | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
was very aggressive. That was really good. It was also a first-ever | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
British medal in the women's eight as they searched through for silver | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
in a photo finish. There was another silver in the swimming pool, a | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
second for Jazz Carlin, although neither she nor anyone else could | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
get remotely close to Katie Ledecky, the American winning her fourth gold | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
of the games. Michael Phelps was chasing his fifth. But for once it | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
did not quite follow the script. Michael Phelps in a 3-way tie for | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
silver behind joseph schooling of Singapore. A case of van bleeding | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
hero a youngster had his photo taken with Michael Phelps, now just a | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
schooling had defeated him on the bigger stage of all. And Andy Murray | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Tudor 's final, no player has ever one single back-to-back goals. But a | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
man used to making history could be about to make some more. Another | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
great day for Team GB and more medal is guaranteed here in the velodrome | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
tomorrow because Callum Skinner and Jason Kenny are currently in the | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
semifinals of the men's sprint and after two excellent days for the | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
cyclists, it could be another one tomorrow. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
So halfway through Day 8 of the Rio Games and this is how | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Team GB are currently in third place behind the United States | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
and China with 9 Golds, 11 Silvers and 6 Bronze Medals | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
the British heptathlete Jessica Ennis Hill and Johnson Thompson have | :05:07. | :05:23. | |
also been in action. Four years ago, Jessica Ennis Hill | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
secured her place in the heart of the nation by dominating | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
the heptathlon on her way to one of the defining golds | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
of the London games. This time, she is facing | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
more of a fight. Having led overnight, | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Ennis Hill is now in second place. As she bids to become the first | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
British woman in history to rain -- to retain an Olympic | :05:45. | :06:01. | |
title in athletics. Just two years after | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
the birth of her son. Her long jump this morning bettered | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
by Belgium's Darya Klishina who now leads with just two | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
of the seven events left. Britain's Katrina Johnson Thompson | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
still very much in contention With an improved crowd | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
after yesterday's empty seats, it was no surprise that the loudest | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
cheer of the afternoon was reserved Usain Bolt starting his campaign | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
for the historic hat-trick of sprint titles for the third successive | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
Olympics. The Jamaican was slow out | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
of the blocks, but despite some sluggishness he still | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
cruised to victory. Alongside him, Britain's | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
James Dasaolu squeezing into the semifinals as one | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
of the fastest losers. The noise of the crowd generates, it | :06:40. | :06:54. | |
makes the heat extra special. You kind of just have to focus. | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
Christine Ohuruogu had to rely on the discretion of the Team GB | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
selectors to earn her spot in real after a bout of illness but that | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
faith was rewarded as she built her place in the 400 metres semifinal. | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
This evening however is all about those British athletes who made | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
super Saturday such an unforgettable one of four years ago. Greg | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Rutherford defences long jump title after sneaking into the final | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
following a tricky heat. And then there is Mo Farah, aiming to emulate | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
his two long-distance gold medals in London. Tonight 10,000 metres, the | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
first half of a feat that would further elevate him among the greats | :07:39. | :07:39. | |
of the sport. Dan, in London 2012 | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
is was Super Saturday. Could we be having a possible | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
repeat? It is going to take some doing. Do | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
not forget Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg Rutherford | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
delivered arguably the finest hour of British in the past four years | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
ago London and the space of an unforgettable 46 minutes, all three | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
got Olympic gold on home soil. Will there be a sequel to super Saturday, | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
where about to find out. For British fans perhaps we should call that | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
super Sunday morning, all three in action in the early hours of | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
tomorrow, your time. Greg Rutherford first up is around ten to one, | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
starting his bid to retain his long jump gold. Then half an hour later | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
we will see Mo Farah begin his quest for what would be historic distance | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
running double, perhaps represented the best chance of a gold for | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Britain tonight at the stadium. And then Jessica Ennis-Hill at ten to | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
three your time, we'll try to become just the third woman in Olympic | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
history to retain the title having become a mother. After the | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
disappointing attendance yesterday with all those empty seats, it was | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
better this morning and we expect a great atmosphere for what could be a | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
historic night later. There has been a lot of success already for Team GB | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
and that breeds momentum but also expectation, do not be surprised if | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
all three do not deliver a budget might just happen. It could just be | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
worth staying up for. -- but it might just happen. | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
The government says it will fill the gap in funding for projects such | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
as scientific research and farming that will open up after Britain | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
The move could cost as much as six billion pounds | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
a year and will come as a relief to many as our | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier explains. | :09:25. | :09:25. | |
Across farms up and down the country, in science | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
labs and businesses, too, many are worried | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
what life outside the EU will mean for their funding. | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Now, in an attempt to boost the economy, they are being told | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
there is no need to worry - the taxpayer will pick up the bill. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
What we're doing here is guaranteeing that projects that | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
have already been signed, or are going to be signed | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
over the coming monthss, even if the payment of those funds | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
runs on beyond the time we leave the EU, will be guaranteed | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
by the British government to the recipients. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
This means direct funding for farmers is being | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
Science and university projects given the go-ahead before we leave | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
the EU will be backed up by the government. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
And elsewhere, things like infrastructure projects will be | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
funded, as long as they have been signed off before the Autumn | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
Those affected have welcomed some certainty, but a far bigger | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
concern is what will happen further into the future. | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
We are hopeful that the overall support for science will remain | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
unchanged even after we leave the EU, but at least as important | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
as the funding itself are our collaborations | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
in large-scale programmes and large-scale endeavours | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
Here at the Treasury, they will be hoping this | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
announcement creates some certainty in what could be a difficult | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
economic time after that vote to leave the EU. | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
But if growth is lower than expected, it will mean | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
less money coming in, leaving the Chancellor | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
Once the UK leaves the EU, it will stop sending millions | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
The health of the economy and the government's policy | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
priorities will then dictate where it all ends up being spent. | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
The ex-husband and father of a woman from Bradford - | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
suspected to be the victim of so-called "honour" | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
killing - have appeared in a court in Pakistan. | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
Samia Shahid - who was 28 - was killed while visiting | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
Her first husband is being held on suspicion of murder, | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
her father is under investigation as an accessory to murder. | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil reports from the court. | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
Shackled, with their faces covered, Samia's father, Choudhry Shahid, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
and her ex-husband, Mohammed Shakeel, were | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
One of the officers told us they kept their identities | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Police say Samia died of asphyxiation. | :12:04. | :12:12. | |
Her ex-husband, who is also her cousin, is the prime suspect. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
Her father is now being probed as an accessory to her murder. | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
The media were not allowed in, but the hearing did not last long. | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
Shakeel and Shahid were brought to this court room, | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
and the hearing could not have lasted more than two minutes, - | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
The judge remanded them in custody for four days while the | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
Samia was married to her cousin in Pakistan. | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
She then travelled to the UK, filed for divorce, and got married | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
to her second husband, Mukhtar Kazam, in Leeds, | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
Mukhtar claims that her family killed her for marrying | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
The police say they have not yet determined the motive. | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
In July, Samia travelled to a small village in | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
Samia also visited one of her friends when she | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
She did not want to be filmed or for her name to be mentioned. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
What was Samia like the last time you saw her? | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
As Samia's father and ex-husband left court, investigations continue. | :13:17. | :13:38. | |
Police have denied reports that Mohammed Shakeel has confessed. | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
Both men will be questioned over the next four days before | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
A man has set fire to a woman on a train in Switzerland | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
and stabbed other passengers - including a six-year-old child. | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
Police in the north-east of the country say the 27-year-old | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
man set the carriage alight and attacked passengers leaving six | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
people in hospital some with serious injuries. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
The man, a Swiss national, appears to have acted alone | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
Police say it's unlikely the incident was terror related. | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
Jeremy Corbyn says Labour must look at its rules to ensure | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
new members are not barred from voting in leadership | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
At a rally today - the Labour leader asked | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
the party to get on board, join in and as he put it take | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
Hundreds of people in a northern Syrian town - | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
used as human shields by Islamic State militants - | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
have been freed, after IS lost control of the area. | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
Manbij was captured yesterday by US-backed | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
Syrian Democratic Forces after weeks of fighting. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
Yogita Limaye reports from Beirut. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
You are our heroes, she says, to the fighters | :14:51. | :15:02. | |
You are our heroes, she says, to the fighters who drove IS out. | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
On another street, a hug of gratitude. | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
TRANSLATION: I feel happiness, I feel joy, and it is like a dream. | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
The things I have seen, no one has seen. | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
For two years, people here have endured torture. | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
This man says his hand was cut off because he was accused | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
And this is where IS is said to have executed those who didn't obey them. | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
Severed heads were left hanging for days. | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
People are eager to get rid of every symbol of the brutal rule. | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
Cutting beards they were forced to grow. | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
For Kurdish fighters and Arab forces here, | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
it's a victory that comes after two months of intense fighting. | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
And air strikes by the US helped win the battle. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
Islamic State simply couldn't match the strength of this coalition. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Manbij is a major loss for IS, an important link | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
between the Turkish border and their stronghold, Raqqa. | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
That will be the next stop for these coalition fighters. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
