Mo Farah has consolidated his place as one of the greatest

ever distance runners, winning the 5,000 and 10,000 metre

races, for the second Olympic Games in a row.

Team GB also saw victory overnight in the women's 400 metre

British athletes have now won more medals

than at the London Games four years ago.

On the biggest stage in the biggest races,

no British athlete has ever provided moments like Mo.

Three gold medals already, but here Mo Farah wanted more.

Such was the expectation, only an historic double-double would do.

But when you're almost unbeatable, there are always plenty out

The pace was fast, but Farah, well, he runs his own race.

For so long he's been out on his own in British

Now he was joined at the front by Andy Butchart.

COMMENTATOR: What a sight that is, two British athletes side by side.

Whilst his challenge would fade to sixth, Farah only got stronger.

While his surge for home is now so familiar, there was still no-one

Mo Farah is going to get gold for Great Britain again!

If you dream something and you have the ambition

and you're willing to work hard, you can achieve your dream.

If such astonishing triumph can ever be expected, what followed

The 4 x 400 metre relay is traditionally the final

For Britain's women it offered a final chance of a medal.

Christine Ohuruogu, Emily Diamond, Anyika Onuora and Eilidh Doyle

combining to win bronze, and with it, astonishingly,

take Team GB past their medal total won in London four years ago.

Bianca Walkden putting behind her the disappointment of defeat

in her semifinal to ensure she didn't leave Rio

And there aren't many more celebrated than Nicola Adams.

One of British sport's most familiar faces after gold in London,

here she was looking to become the first British boxer

to successfully defend an Olympic title in almost a century.

At 33, these Games may well be her final flourish.

Making history, inspiring others, that is what she does best.

Her impact on her opponent and the sport immeasurable.

COMMENTATOR: Nicola Adams lets out a triumphant roar.

There are perhaps more than many dared hoped for.

Rio's record-breaking Games, Britain's history-making athletes.

Let's look at the medal table, on the final day of sport in Rio.

Team GB have 66 medals in total, 27 of them gold.

Let's speak to our sports correspondent, Natalie

Natalie, it's been quite the success story for Team GB.

Its astonishing, because it's the first time since the Games began, in

1896 that a nation has bettered its medal haul in the Games following a

home Games. There is another guaranteed gold or silver in the

men's superweight and heavyweight boxing final, with Joe Joyce. It is

the best performance of modern times. Remember, 20 years ago in

Atlanta Britain came 36th in the medal table, just 15 medals one,

only one gold. Since then the Government has diverted lottery

funding into the sport, the funding has increased and the rise up the

medal table has been rapid. ?50 million spent on this Olympic and

Paralympic cycle. The athletes still had to go out and deliver, and how

they have delivered. Indeed. Natalie, thank you.

An appeal has been set up to help the family of a man who died

after being swept out to sea on the north-west coast of Cornwall.

Rudy Bruynius, seen here with his wife, was caught by a large

wave whilst on the rocks during a family holiday in Newquay.

His two-year-old daughter is in a serious but stable condition.

So-called Islamic State is likely to have carried out a deadly bomb

That's according to President Erdogan.

The death toll in the attack in the southern city of Gaziantep

has now risen to 50, with almost 100 wounded.

A suspected suicide bomber seems to have targeted guests

at a Kurdish wedding, as they danced in the street.

Our correspondent Mark Lowen reports now

It was meant to be a moment of celebration. A wedding party in

Gaziantep, torn apart by a massive bomb. The gets, mainly Kurds, were

outside when it hit. Dozens were killed. Many more were injured. The

Government says the Islamic State group was the likely culprit.

TRANSLATION: Our friends and neighbours were there. We are sad

and in pain. The attack was an atrocity. We want to end these

massacres. Ministers visited the wounded, consoling victims of terror

has become routine here. Turkey hit over the past year by a series of

attacks by IS and PKK Kurdish militants.

TRANSLATION: I was standing, then something exploded and I fell down.

Then I passed out. After a while I woke up and I looked for my parents.

In a written statement the Turkish President said there was no

difference between IS, the PKK and followers a of an exiled cleric. He

continued, our country and our nation have again only one message

to those who attack us. You will not succeed. If this was an IS attack it

could be revenge for the loss of ground in Syria. In recent days,

they were ousted when the US-led coalition retook their former

stronghold. Stronghold. Up to 2,000 rebel fighters backed by the

coalition are preparing to push further into the jihadists'

territory. Territory. Territory. Turkey wants to play a more active

role in resolving the Syrian war. This attack was one with devastating

consequences. New measures intended to stop prison

inmates being radicalised by violent extremists are to be

announced by the Government. It's expected that special units

will be created to separate Our home affairs correspondent,

Daniel Sandford, is here. What do we know about this? It is

just about 15 years since the 9/11 attacks on America. Interestingly

the way we deal in Britain with Islamist extremists in Britain

hasn't really changed significantly in those 15 years. It is dealt with

in the same by this IRA prisoners were dealt with, dispersed across

the high security prisons in England and Wales. A report was set up,

commissioned by a former prison Governor and senior civil servant.

He has concluded that it is the wrong approach and we do need to

separate the most dangerous of the violent extremists away from other

prisoners so they can't spread their propaganda among the prison

population. Tomorrow understand that Liz Truss will accept that

recommendation among others and will set up these new units, high

security units within high security prisons. Daniel, thank you.

Sadiq Khan has urged Labour voters to ditch Jeremy Corbyn as leader,

adding the current leader had "totally failed" to get his message

The London Mayor is calling for his party to vote

for Owen Smith instead in the party's leadership contest.

Our political correspondent Susana Mendoca has more.

He's the man who wants to replace Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the

Labour Party, but little-known Owen Smith has struggled to make headway

in a leadership race in which he is very much the underdog. Now though a

boost to his campaign thanks to an endorsement from Labour's most

senior elected politician. I therefore declare

Sadiq Khan to be elected More than a million people voted for

him, making him one of Labour's most popular figures so. Har he refused

to say who he would back in the Labour leadership contest but he's

come out for Mr Smith. I've seen over the last 12 months Jeremy

Corbyn as the leader of our party. He has failed to win the trust and

respect of the British people, calling for us to leave the EU

immediately demonstrates to me why I think Owen Smith is the right leader

for our party and is the best chance to win the next election. But Jeremy

Corbyn's support base lies not with elected politicians but Labour Party

members. Not just new arrivals but Labour voters in traditional

heartlands, and many trade union members. I'm disappointed. Clearly

Sadiq Khan is entitled to his own opinion, as are hundreds of

thousands of Labour Party members. Sadiq Khan has one vote, the same as

the rest of us. I think a lot of people will not be swayed and will

vote for Jeremy Corbyn as they did in September. Owen Smith said he was

hugely honoured by Mr Khan's endorsement but with Jeremy Corbyn

the favourite he faces a tough battle trying to unseat him.
