first this report on a remarkable weekend so far, from our

No matter how hard they try, Mo Farah's rival simply cannot keep up.

No other British track athlete has ever won a third Olympic gold, this

has now become a distance running domination.

Mo Farah has not lost 10,000 metre race since 2011. As he coasted his

way towards the front last night he looked in control. In the tenth lap,

however, came a moment of drama. Accidentally tripped -- he was

accidentally tripped by his training partner. He quickly recovered to get

back among the leading pack. Although the Kenyan mate a charge

with 300 metres to go, Mo Farah, as is now familiar, surged decisively.

Mo Farah had another medal to add to the ones from London. He has now set

for an historic repeat here in Rio with the 5000 metres race next week.

-- is now. He's done it again. He said he was in the form of his life

coming into these Olympic Games and so it proved. A third Olympic gold

which further elevate him amongst the sports greats. It is every

athlete's dream. I just want to continue doing what I enjoy, because

this is what I enjoy. I work hard. I spend a lot of time away from my

family, and everything, you know, that one moment could be gone, we're

not even in control. Jessica Ennis hill knew she had work to do in the

heptathlon as she bid to become the first woman in athletic history to

retain a title in athletics. It all came down to the final 800 metre

race with Jessica Ennis Hill in second place. She knew she had to

beat her opponent by almost ten seconds. The reigning champion gave

it everything she had. COMMENTATOR: It's going to be close

to her best. And now the clock is ticking. Her opponent is going to

become the Olympic champion. The seven second gap was enough for

the Belgian to win by 35 points. I'm really emotional. I got to go away

now and make a decision as to what I'm going to do. I don't want to cry

on TV but these years have been amazing, just really proud. Are you

hinting at this may be the last one? Possibly, yeah. I don't want to cry.

This morning, after a few hours reflection in Rio, Jessica Ennis

Hill again hinting at retirement. It's definitely a difficult

decision. But I definitely feel very content with what I've achieved

throughout my career. This has been an amazing occasion. It is my last

Olympics. That is why I was so emotional last night. Greg

Rutherford, the other member of the gold winning 2012 super Saturday

Trio, looked on course to retain his long jump title. His league put him

narrowly ahead of the field. But in a competition where the standard

improved with every round, no one could match the American Henderson.

Rutherford left with bronze. This evening the attention turns to one

man, Usain Bolt, hoping to complete a hat-trick of Olympic 100 metre

titles and give these Olympic Games another defining moment. Let's take

a look at how the medal table has changed.

Team GB are currently in third place behind the United States

China with 10 Golds, 13 Silvers and 7 Bronze Medals

Day 9 of the Olympics is underway with a total of 22

gold medals at stake, in sports ranging from fencing

For Britain, Andy Murray will try to retain his Olympic

tennis title in the men's singles final, and Justin Rose

More British glory, more record-breaking in the velodrome

last night. Laura Trott became the first British woman to win three

gold medals, but this was very much a team effort. The USA are the world

champions, Britain the defending Olympic champions. And everybody

thought it would be close. Great Britain leading in the race

for gold in the women's team pursuit.

But by the finish line there was no contest.

Gold for Great Britain! They've smashed the world record.

For Joe Russell shouted this was a hard-fought victory than her first

gold in London. London never felt easy at all that the time. Far from

it. Now I look back, I think it was easy, it's been hard at this time.

In that sense it means a lot because there has been a lot of battling.

London will always be the most special. Later Great Britain is

guaranteed a gold and silver in the men's individual sprint as Karen

Skinner and Jason Kenny will duke it out. Just before retiring for the

second time after achieving sporting immortality, Michael Phelps went out

and won his fifth gold, the 25th of his career. -- Callum Skinner. Great

Britain came a brilliant second. That is their six medal of the games

to cap off the nation's best swimming performance in an Olympics

since 1908. Nick Dempsey will celebrate turning 36 with a

guaranteed silver in the windsurfing. It matches the one he

won in London and ensures a winning into his career. He will retire

these Olympic Games. This is his seventh Olympics come he's only

missed out once since 1988. They've been affectionately named as Dad's

Army, all but one of Britain's show-jumping team are over 40. But

but a number when it is combined with equine brawn. They would offend

their team title next week. Justin Rose is trying to win Britain's

first Olympic golf gold but he wasn't helped by a spectator who

tried to pick up his shot today. He still seems on course for a medal,

though. How is Justin Rose doing now?

He got a birdie on the eighth. He is still in the lead by one from Henrik

Stenson. Plenty of twists and turns to come. As the gymnastics arena we

are gearing up for Max Whitlock in his first of two finals tonight. The

flaw in which he is the silver medallist from the World

Championships last year and the pommel in which he is the world

champion. Louis Smith is also in that pommel final commie is the

silver medallist from London, and the silver medallist from the World

Championships. As you tell, high hopes for Great

Britain to get a medal in that one. If they were not to get a medal that

would be a big disappointment. We've also got Andy Murray in about an

hour and a half in the tennis arena. He will be in the final defending

his Olympic title against Del Potro. A super busy day after a super busy

weekend. Other news now, and the Islamist

group Boko Haram has released a video which it says shows

some of the schoolgirls who were kidnapped from the Nigerian

town of Chibok. Boko Haram group abducted 276 girls

from a school more than two years ago -

about 50 appear in the video. In this report, from

Martin Patience, the images of the girls are obscured,

to protect their identity. Kidnapped as schoolgirls, two macro

years on they are now young women. Appearing physically weak and

traumatised by their captivity it's hard to imagine what they have been

through. -- two macro years on. In this propaganda video the mass

militant questions one of the students. She says that many of the

girls have been badly injured in military air strikes and she calls

on the government to release Boko Haram prisoners in order to secure

the girls' release. The students were kidnapped from their school

here in Chibok more than two macro years ago. Driven into the forest,

their abductions sparked international outrage and shone a

spotlight on the brutal Boko Haram insurgency. -- two years ago. But

this gave renewed hope for the families after one of the girls was

found alive. Forced to marry a fighter, she had a baby. The

government is under intense pressure to free the girls. It says it is in

talks with the militants but it needs to be doubly sure that it is

speaking to the right people. As for the girls' families, their agony and

their anger goes on. While the world focuses on the fate of the

schoolgirls, aid agencies warn of a growing humanitarian crisis.

Thousands have been killed by the Boko Haram insurgency and more than

2 million displaced by the fighting. This is a conflict far bigger than

just Chibok. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has

accused his deputy Tom Watson of talking nonsense about claims

that hard left activists are trying to infiltrate the party, in the run

up to the leadership vote. Mr Watson says there is clear

evidence to support his allegations. This afternoon it was announced

that there won't be an appeal to the Supreme Court,

about whether new members can vote Here's our Political Correspondent

Chris Mason. First, explain the extremely bad

blood between the leader and his deputy.

We are used to rows within the Labour Party but this one is with a

twist given who is involved. What it boils down to is a row over the

motivations of those who have been signing up to the Labour Party. Tom

Watson has made the suggestion that, yes, hundreds of thousands of people

have signed up to the Labour Party but he thinks some of them have done

it with the explicit intention of trying to take the party over.

Jeremy Corbyn has said that is nonsense and that the party should

be proud that more people than ever have been tempted to sign up. But

the use of the word nonsense. The Labour leader is describing publicly

the words of the deputy as nonsense. To give you some sense of the

rancour and the bitterness within the party. It has cranked up to a

whole new level. As we say, no appeal to the Supreme

Court now, remind us of what that means.

It is telling again that I spend more time in court rooms in this

Labour leadership contest than I have it hustings or leadership

debates between the two macro candidates. Five new members who had

signed up since January who were annoyed that the party had said they

couldn't get a vote in the leadership race because only those

who have been members prior to January could get a vote. -- the two

candidates. The Appeal Court said no, the Labour Party's rules were

right. They had one last option and that was to take to the Supreme

Court. They decided not to do that. They say they cannot afford the

?8,000. That means the rest of the Labour contest would be -- will be

fought in the more conventional environments of town halls and

rallies and debates. But, given the rancour, given the bitterness I was

talking about, that isn't going to go away any time soon. And we will

get the result sometime next month. Thanks very much.

Scotland Yard is setting up a team of specialist police officers

to target people who commit hate crimes online.

The project to tackle so-called trolls will cost more than one

Police in New York say they have no indication yet that two Muslims

The victims were an imam at a mosque in Queens, and one of his friends.

Salvage teams are on board an oil rig that ran aground in the Hebrides

earlier this week. They are expected to spend the night there after

finding access in difficult weather conditions. It is believed to have

leaked more than 15,000 litres of fuel. Most of which has evaporated.

Torrential rain has caused widespread flooding

in the southern US states of Louisiana and Mississippi.

At least three people have been killed in Louisiana,

where officials say floods have reached 'epic proportions'.

Thousands of people have been rescued from homes and vehicles.

Our North America David Willis reports.

Do you have something? In Baton Rouge, Louisiana rescuers came

across a car. It was sinking in the floodwaters. The driver was still

inside. I'm drowning, she tells them.

Before being dragged to safety in the nick of time. Her first thought

is of her dog who was also inside. Then the pet too is plucked to

safety from the murky waters. 40 miles east, another remarkable

rescue. A lorry driver whose vehicle was swept off the road by the

floodwaters. He had spent eight hours clinging to a fallen tree.

They have seen rain in the deep south but they haven't seen rain

like this. Three months' worth in a single night according to one

estimate. Causing some to flee with just the clothes on their back.

We've lost trailers, our apartment, our house has gone under, there's

nothing left. With more rain on the way. Unbelievable. The race is on to

save all they hold dear. Football, and Jose Mourinho's

Manchester United have got off They beat Bournemouth

3-1, with new signing Patrick Gearey was

watching the action. Jose Mourinho is a manager that

inspires selfies and stories. Manchester United have a boss

as famous as his players. Though, Zlatan Ibrahimovic might

disagree with that. In his own words he left his

last club as a legend. In the first half the play didn't

match the PR. Yet United went in 1-0 up, no magic

here just a mistake and Juan Mata. Bournemouth's Simon Francis helped

Juan Mata make a good impression in front of the boss who had

sold him from Chelsea. At every changing of the United

guard questions are asked about the position of the captain,

where should Rooney play? Jose Mourinho will be happy

if he keeps popping up there. We were hardly going to get

through 90 minutes without hearing This was a hit worth the hype,

a goal for the publicity photos. Adam Smith had a go

at stealing the attention, but, as so often in the opening

game of the season, this Cricket, and England have

lost the fourth test against Pakistan by 10 wickets,

at the Oval. Chasing just 40 to win -

the tourists won when Azhar Ali The defeat means that the four-Test

series ended all square, at 2-2. The largest aircraft in the world is

about to make its maiden voyage from an airfield in Bedfordshire.

The British designed Airlander 10 is 300 feet

long and is a hybrid - part airship, part aeroplane.

Our correspondent Nick Higham is at Cardington airfield

Is everything ready? Yes, there it is. The first thing to

say about it is that it is big, 60 feet longer than the biggest jumbo

jet. It contains a 1 million cubic feet of helium gas. TV some idea of

how big, let me show you one of the shed in which it was built. This is

one of two enormous First World War hangers, which were originally

constructed to build airships. The air and land filled that when it was

fully inflated. They could only just get it out. -- D airlander.

You start the engines and you get lift. What will it be used for?

Well, by the military, it was originally designed by the American

army at a cost of $300 million. But it could also be used anywhere you

could take a helicopter carrier. Heavy loads, taking off and landing

in virtually no ground at all. And what's more, it could... What's

more, I've forgotten what I was going to say, so I'm going to leave

its there and tell you that it should take off in about 40 minutes,

we think. There has been a delay but we're looking forward to seeing it

take off at about 6pm. Thanks very much.
