It's Friday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Chloe Tilley in for Victoria -

:00:00.:00:08.

And 'lightning Bolt' is still the fastest man

:00:09.:00:19.

Jamaica's Usain Bolt is now just one final away

:00:20.:00:22.

from the "triple triple" - three golds from three

:00:23.:00:24.

I am getting older, I am not as young and fresh but it is just one

:00:25.:00:36.

of those things. I am excited that I got the gold medal. That is the key

:00:37.:00:37.

thing. Jade Jones retains her

:00:38.:00:40.

Olympic Taekwondo title. I am Mark Cavendish back in London

:00:41.:00:51.

with my silver medal to talk about what it is like to represent Team

:00:52.:00:52.

GB. John O'Neill, the man who has been

:00:53.:00:56.

ordered to give police 24 hours notice before he has sex,

:00:57.:01:00.

talks to us exclusively about why he's been reduced to living

:01:01.:01:03.

in the woods and whether the ban It is not as much of a culture shock

:01:04.:01:11.

for me as it might be to somebody else. I have no control over what

:01:12.:01:14.

happens and I am not optimistic. We also want to hear from you this

:01:15.:01:22.

morning if you let your children Or maybe you would never

:01:23.:01:31.

encourage your under-age Do get in touch on all the stories

:01:32.:01:35.

we're talking about this morning. Use the hashtag Victoria live

:01:36.:01:46.

and remember, if you text, you will be charged

:01:47.:01:48.

at the standard network rate. Let's get the latest

:01:49.:01:50.

on the Olympics. Quite frankly, did we have any doubt

:01:51.:01:55.

at all that Usain Bolt was going to do this? Well, you would not bet

:01:56.:02:01.

against them. We really have to tip our hats to Usain Bolt. Another

:02:02.:02:05.

incredible performance for him. We may never see an athlete like Usain

:02:06.:02:11.

Bolt again. He won the 200 metres in 19.78 seconds, meaning he is the

:02:12.:02:15.

first person to win Olympic gold over 100 and 200 metres at three

:02:16.:02:19.

straight Olympics. The 29-year-old says that maybe his final race of

:02:20.:02:23.

the distance. If Jamaica when the relay tomorrow morning, he will

:02:24.:02:30.

record an unprecedented treble trouble, meaning his ninth Olympic

:02:31.:02:34.

gold medal. He has won every Olympic final he has appeared in. Spare a

:02:35.:02:39.

thought for Adam Gemili, also in that race and who finished fourth.

:02:40.:02:44.

He missed out on a bronze medal by two thousandths of a second. He said

:02:45.:02:50.

he was gutted after words, having gone all the way through four years

:02:51.:02:54.

of training, to miss out by such a small margin. By contrast those

:02:55.:02:58.

emotions with those of Jade Jones, another Olympic tae kwon do gold

:02:59.:03:04.

medal for her. It came in the under 57 kilograms category. A superb

:03:05.:03:08.

display. She beat her biggest rival in a tough final. But the

:03:09.:03:16.

23-year-old took it 16-7. Two head kicks in the final round sealing the

:03:17.:03:20.

gold medal. She is only the third British e-mail to retain an

:03:21.:03:24.

individual title after Charlotte Dujardin and Laura Trott. Let's hear

:03:25.:03:32.

what she had to say. I didn't actually realise how much pressure

:03:33.:03:38.

it would be. Until today, I thought, it is a lot of pressure. I put

:03:39.:03:42.

pressure on myself. I know I am the best but in tae kwon do it does not

:03:43.:03:46.

always work like that. I wanted to win so much. I have trained so hard

:03:47.:03:52.

for four years. I just wanted to win and to finally do it was amazing.

:03:53.:03:57.

And it was not just Jade Jones, you can always rely on the Brownlee

:03:58.:04:01.

brothers. A fantastic performance from them. They were very close on

:04:02.:04:08.

the swim and the bike but Alistair pulled away during the running. He

:04:09.:04:14.

was able to walk over the line, in fact. And he shared a moment of

:04:15.:04:18.

congratulation, but also exhaustion, as you can see, with his younger

:04:19.:04:24.

brother, after the finish line. Let's hear what they had to say

:04:25.:04:30.

after their amazing 1-2. This year, training has been so hard. I have

:04:31.:04:34.

finished so many sessions basically trying to keep up with Johnny. I

:04:35.:04:39.

have hardly been able to sleep at night because my legs hurt so much.

:04:40.:04:44.

And then getting up the next morning, dragging myself out of bed

:04:45.:04:47.

and doing it all over again. Does he always complain? I love it, it is

:04:48.:04:53.

what I love doing. A third gold for Team GB 24 hours later in the

:04:54.:04:58.

ceiling. Anna Mills and Saskia Clark, they had to wait an extra day

:04:59.:05:04.

because there was no wind on the lagoon. But the moment came and they

:05:05.:05:08.

relished it. All they had to do was finish their race in the 470 sailing

:05:09.:05:13.

class. They improved on their second-place four years ago at

:05:14.:05:18.

London. Add that to a silver for John Scofield, and a first badminton

:05:19.:05:23.

medal in the men's doubles for Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge.

:05:24.:05:29.

More to come, what to look forward to. The women's hockey team will go

:05:30.:05:33.

for gold, taking on the double defending champions, the

:05:34.:05:37.

Netherlands, in the final. It starts at nine o'clock this evening. That

:05:38.:05:42.

will be on BBC One in full, the first Olympic final for the women.

:05:43.:05:46.

They looked in strong form as they beat New Zealand in the semifinal.

:05:47.:05:51.

And Nicola Adams could become the first British boxer to retain an

:05:52.:05:56.

Olympic title for 92 years. She will go in the final of the women's

:05:57.:05:59.

flyweight competition, either gold or silver for her. That fight will

:06:00.:06:03.

be on Saturday evening so fingers crossed that Team GB do well over

:06:04.:06:09.

the next few days. And we will be talking about Nicola Adams over the

:06:10.:06:15.

next half-hour. Let's get a summary of the day 's news.

:06:16.:06:17.

A boy has died after being bitten by a dog in Halstead,

:06:18.:06:20.

A 29-year-old woman has been arrested for allowing a dog to be

:06:21.:06:24.

The United States Olympic Committee has apologised to the organisers

:06:25.:06:33.

of the Rio Olympics, and the people of Brazil,

:06:34.:06:35.

for the behaviour of a group of swimmers.

:06:36.:06:37.

The four, who include the gold medallist Ryan Lochte,

:06:38.:06:40.

Brazilian police say they lied to cover up

:06:41.:06:43.

Gold-medal winners leaving the Games in disgrace.

:06:44.:06:53.

Swimmers Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger were questioned

:06:54.:06:55.

for four hours over charges that they and two teammates

:06:56.:07:00.

vandalised a petrol station and then falsely claimed they had

:07:01.:07:02.

At a Games when crimes against athletes have caused

:07:03.:07:07.

concern, the fake story has made people in Rio angry.

:07:08.:07:10.

It was this man, Ryan Lochte, seen here winning gold for the US

:07:11.:07:22.

200 metres relay team, who claimed they had been mugged

:07:23.:07:24.

by robbers posing as police officers.

:07:25.:07:26.

But the story unravelled when police studied CCTV pictures.

:07:27.:07:28.

What really happened, they said, was that a drunk Ryan Lochte

:07:29.:07:34.

and three others stopped to use the toilet at a petrol station

:07:35.:07:37.

but when it was closed they lost their temper, smashed

:07:38.:07:39.

A security guard then pulled a gun on them and told them to calm down

:07:40.:07:46.

Footage from the athletes' village saw them returning in good spirits

:07:47.:07:53.

Team USA has released a statement saying:

:07:54.:08:07.

Lochte returned to the US on Monday where reaction has been

:08:08.:08:10.

and threatens to overshadow all his achievements in the water.

:08:11.:08:22.

A senior member of the International Olympic Committee, Patrick Hickey,

:08:23.:08:24.

has temporarily stepped down after being arrested in Brazil over

:08:25.:08:26.

the suspected illegal sale of tickets for the Rio Games.

:08:27.:08:29.

Mr Hickey, who's from Ireland, has also stepped aside from his role

:08:30.:08:32.

as president of the European Olympic Committees.

:08:33.:08:35.

Brazilian police claim he was involved in a scheme

:08:36.:08:37.

to pass tickets to touts, who sold them at inflated prices

:08:38.:08:40.

Yesterday we heard calls for a post Rio Olympic Games in Britain.

:08:41.:08:56.

Support is growing and Sadiq Khan says he is keen for a parade to take

:08:57.:09:01.

place. You will be speaking to the government and Olympic sports chiefs

:09:02.:09:06.

to find the best way of celebrating the achievements of British

:09:07.:09:07.

competitors. A man under a court order to tell

:09:08.:09:09.

police 24 hours before he has sexual contact with anyone for the first

extended for up to five years. John O'Neill, from York,

:09:16.:09:20.

was cleared of rape last year, but North Yorkshire Police asked

:09:21.:09:23.

a judge to impose an interim Mr O'Neill says it is

:09:24.:09:25.

so wide-ranging that he is unable A district judge at York Magistrates

will now decide whether to lift The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn,

:09:30.:09:33.

has declined to say if he would give military support to a fellow NATO

:09:34.:09:40.

country if it were In the latest leadership debate

:09:41.:09:42.

with rival Owen Smith, Mr Corbyn said he wanted a world

:09:43.:09:46.

where there is "no need" to go to war - he also emphasised the

:09:47.:09:49.

importance of diplomatic solutions. Owen Smith said the NATO treaty

:09:50.:09:52.

requires all members Half of parents with children under

:09:53.:09:54.

the age of 14 allow them to drink alcohol at home,

:09:55.:10:00.

according to a new survey. The research, by a leading insurance

:10:01.:10:03.

company, spoke to more than 1,000 people and found that many of them

:10:04.:10:06.

were ignoring medical advice. It also found that a third

:10:07.:10:09.

of parents with children under 14 used alcohol as a bribe

:10:10.:10:12.

to encourage good behaviour. The UN has finally acknowledged

:10:13.:10:20.

that it contributed to a cholera outbreak in Haiti in 2010 that

:10:21.:10:26.

killed around 10,000 people. The United Nations had always denied

:10:27.:10:29.

any responsibility for the epidemic, despite scientific studies

:10:30.:10:32.

repeatedly showing that Nepalese UN troops were the source

:10:33.:10:34.

of the disease. However it still says it's protected

:10:35.:10:36.

by diplomatic immunity from claims for compensation

:10:37.:10:39.

from victims' families. The International Paralympic

:10:40.:10:45.

Committee will reveal more details later about the financial problems

:10:46.:10:47.

facing the Games. Overnight, Brazil's President's

:10:48.:10:57.

Chief of Staff said funding for the Paralympics in Rio

:10:58.:10:59.

would be guaranteed. Our disability correspondent

:11:00.:11:01.

Nikki Fox reports. In just 19 days, the Paralympics

:11:02.:11:04.

will get under way in Rio. But instead of excitement,

:11:05.:11:07.

there is uncertainty. Vital travel grants have not yet

:11:08.:11:10.

been paid to athletes around the world, putting some

:11:11.:11:13.

countries at real risk of not I don't think the IPC has ever faced

:11:14.:11:15.

this situation in the 56 year history of the Paralympic Games,

:11:16.:11:24.

especially with 19 days to go. Even with additional funding

:11:25.:11:28.

that we have been promised, we will still have to look

:11:29.:11:32.

at how we can make cuts. A court order that prevented more

:11:33.:11:35.

public money being spent on the Paralympics

:11:36.:11:37.

has now been lifted. However, that injection

:11:38.:11:39.

of ?56 million is still not enough. We've worked just as hard

:11:40.:11:45.

as the Olympians for the same British athletes like

:11:46.:11:49.

Jordanne Whiley aren't worried about getting to the Games,

:11:50.:11:53.

it's what happens or doesn't happen When I get to Rio, I want to be able

:11:54.:11:56.

to play against everyone that has qualified and I think

:11:57.:12:04.

if people didn't go, if nations didn't go,

:12:05.:12:06.

I think the nobility of the Games The Olympics haven't

:12:07.:12:10.

exactly been a sell-out. But with ticket sales

:12:11.:12:19.

for the Paralympics at just 12%, it's looking like we might be seeing

:12:20.:12:21.

even more empty seats. Around a hundred water voles

:12:22.:12:29.

are being released into the wild They were once commonly found

:12:30.:12:33.

in the British countryside, but are now one of our

:12:34.:12:37.

most endangered species. Ecologists from the National Trust

:12:38.:12:39.

will release the rare mammals into the waters of Malham Tarn,

:12:40.:12:42.

England's highest freshwater lake. That's a summary of the latest BBC

:12:43.:12:49.

News - more at 9.30. So another amazing day at Rio

:12:50.:12:58.

and over the next two hours we'll have plenty of reaction

:12:59.:13:01.

to Usain Bolt's latest win and the continued

:13:02.:13:03.

success of Team GB. As we've been hearing, our tally

:13:04.:13:08.

of gold medals now stands at 22, thanks to Jade Jones's

:13:09.:13:11.

win in Taekwondo. We'll also be speaking to former

:13:12.:13:13.

Olympians Diane Modahl and Derek Before that we're going to hear

:13:14.:13:21.

from Mark Cavendish. Here's a reminder of the moment

:13:22.:13:24.

he finally won an Olympic medal Mark Cavendish scoops up the final

:13:25.:13:35.

point on offer which makes sure that he has the silver medal for Great

:13:36.:13:42.

Britain. After all the effort and after all the Olympic heartache,

:13:43.:13:46.

Mark Cavendish as an Olympic medal. It is a silver one and it is a

:13:47.:13:47.

richly deserve one. Mark Cavendish! So, congratulations first of all and

:13:48.:14:19.

welcome back. Relief, happiness, how are you feeling about that amazing

:14:20.:14:22.

silver medal? I am really happy with that. It is my third Olympics and I

:14:23.:14:29.

have finally got a medal. It took a lot. I was talking yesterday and it

:14:30.:14:33.

was hard to believe that just a few weeks ago I was writing in the to

:14:34.:14:38.

France, and then it completely changed and I was in the velodrome,

:14:39.:14:43.

competing in the Olympics. It is so different, in just a couple of

:14:44.:14:48.

weeks. Representing Great Britain is such an honour. And the Olympics is

:14:49.:14:53.

the biggest thing, the best way to do that. To come away with a medal,

:14:54.:14:59.

following the success of the Hall of Team GB this year, it is quite an

:15:00.:15:03.

honour. How difficult is it to go from the likes of the tour to France

:15:04.:15:05.

to the velodrome? Although it is all bikes, it's a bit

:15:06.:15:14.

like saying Andy Murray would go and play squash, it's a racket sport but

:15:15.:15:19.

it's not the same. We are on bicycles but it's even different

:15:20.:15:22.

muscles you are using. It was hard to do but I've kind of been working

:15:23.:15:29.

towards it for two years, training, I'm a professional road rider, and

:15:30.:15:33.

that's my day job. And just in between that trying to keep the

:15:34.:15:37.

velodrome going with a chance of winning at the Olympics. It was hard

:15:38.:15:42.

to do but worth it in the end. Did you put a lot of pressure on

:15:43.:15:46.

yourself ahead of this? It was the one medal you didn't have, and

:15:47.:15:50.

you've been to these other games. Do you put pressure on yourself or can

:15:51.:15:55.

you separate it? I actually do put pressure on myself but I thrive off

:15:56.:16:00.

that. I have the best group of people around me. My family has been

:16:01.:16:05.

massively important. My wife has pretty much been a single mum with

:16:06.:16:09.

three kids while I've been away. The guys at British cycling to let me

:16:10.:16:13.

come in and put the timing to me when I don't live in Manchester

:16:14.:16:16.

where the British team is based, I had to go over there to drop in, and

:16:17.:16:22.

they gave the time up to help me and that the re-sources behind it, as

:16:23.:16:26.

they did with everybody. But I'm very fortunate to be in that

:16:27.:16:31.

position, and that made it easier for me to do this, really. And we've

:16:32.:16:36.

got to talk about the crash. You know we've got to talk about the

:16:37.:16:41.

crash. Everybody has been talking about it. I know you apologise to

:16:42.:16:45.

one of the riders you took out. Talk us through, presumably you had no

:16:46.:16:49.

idea what was going on? You don't know what was going on. At the end

:16:50.:16:53.

of the day you will not intentionally crash. I'm a

:16:54.:16:56.

professional bike rider, I know what it is like to crash. I would not put

:16:57.:17:01.

somebody in danger, especially somebody I like, a good bike ride.

:17:02.:17:06.

He wasn't in a medal position, it would have no bearing if I did

:17:07.:17:10.

something to him anyway. But yeah, I spoke to him and he was all right

:17:11.:17:13.

about it. I'm glad he's all right, really. Obviously I get asked

:17:14.:17:20.

questions. It was a basic mistake on my part, it was my fault. But it was

:17:21.:17:25.

a mistake that unfortunately happens in cycling. And those bikes can go

:17:26.:17:29.

pretty easily. We've seen clips throughout the games. The thing is

:17:30.:17:34.

you got no breaks, you've got one gear, you can't stop pedalling. And

:17:35.:17:39.

you don't have a run-off like you do in the road. So you are overlapping

:17:40.:17:44.

a bit and there's not really anything to go on, and because you

:17:45.:17:47.

are going round in circles, constantly looking behind, so yeah,

:17:48.:17:52.

things happen in a split second, really. GB cycling has been

:17:53.:17:58.

fantastic for years now, and it's the one thing we go into the games

:17:59.:18:02.

and say, yeah, we're going to get some gold and silver is here. But

:18:03.:18:09.

every member of Team GB cycling team has won a medal at these games which

:18:10.:18:13.

has been incredible, and there has been some sour grapes from other

:18:14.:18:16.

nations. That again has been blown out of proportion, it's the

:18:17.:18:20.

Olympics, you are going to make big stories about it. I think every

:18:21.:18:26.

member won either gold or silver. Which is incredible. It shows the

:18:27.:18:33.

strength. A lot of people question how we pick it up for the Olympics

:18:34.:18:37.

top white that's what Anna Mears was saying. She says, we all scratch our

:18:38.:18:42.

heads saying, how do they left it in so many events when they haven't

:18:43.:18:47.

even been in contention in the World Championships? The Olympics come

:18:48.:18:49.

along, I'm not exactly sure how they've got it together. I don't

:18:50.:18:55.

really think she's insinuating anything. She's not insinuating you

:18:56.:19:00.

are on drugs or cheating or anything, but is it literally that

:19:01.:19:02.

you care about nothing but the games? Absolutely. We have a plan

:19:03.:19:07.

for every four years. It's what we are funded for. And although the

:19:08.:19:14.

World Championships is important, I think other nations put the emphasis

:19:15.:19:18.

as much as the Olympic Games, GB does. We have the world track

:19:19.:19:24.

Championships in March this year, at home in London, so it was a big

:19:25.:19:29.

World Championships for us, but we use our second-rate equipment, we

:19:30.:19:33.

use our second-rate clothing. Even stuff that is eight years old, stuff

:19:34.:19:39.

we were using before Beijing. And why, to keep the really good stuff

:19:40.:19:44.

of the games? Xavier, if we learn to compete with the separate equipment

:19:45.:19:48.

-- exactly, if we learn to compete with that equipment, and then we go

:19:49.:19:54.

to the Olympic Games and all of a sudden we are peaking. There's a lot

:19:55.:19:58.

of stuff about, should I go to the Olympics because I was only six in

:19:59.:20:02.

the Omni at the World Championships. I said since January, I can't win

:20:03.:20:06.

the world, but I can win the Olympics, it's in August. That's

:20:07.:20:10.

what we do as a nation in cycling, we peak for August every four years.

:20:11.:20:14.

Is it true those shoes cost thousands of pounds? Yeah, I don't

:20:15.:20:23.

know, really. I'm with Nike anyway. Good plug. I was talking to you just

:20:24.:20:29.

before we came in, you are competing this weekend? Supposed to be racing

:20:30.:20:33.

in Germany. I heard yesterday I might not be going but I flew back

:20:34.:20:38.

because it is back to the day job. Could you do another four-year

:20:39.:20:41.

cycle? Are you saying you'd be looking at going to Tokyo? I race

:20:42.:20:47.

from January to November every year anyway, professional road cyclists,

:20:48.:20:50.

it's kind of like football, we have a season. I have two more years of

:20:51.:20:57.

contract with my team, so I will be going at least two more years. One

:20:58.:21:02.

thing I cannot do is balance road and track again. I don't know if the

:21:03.:21:05.

road race would suit me in Tokyo, probably not. But then if I'm still

:21:06.:21:12.

competing as a professional on the road it might be difficult. It took

:21:13.:21:18.

a lot of energy to do it. And let's talk about Rio, I was fortunate

:21:19.:21:23.

enough to be there, and incredible place. Always difficult to compare

:21:24.:21:29.

to London because of home games, but what did you make of the whole

:21:30.:21:37.

atmosphere there? After London, in the city will have a hard job

:21:38.:21:40.

matching that and it will always be compared, unfortunately. And it was

:21:41.:21:47.

not as well-organised as London. But one thing we were looking at, the

:21:48.:21:51.

POA, they really looked after the British athletes. It was really

:21:52.:21:58.

comfortable for us. And when you are living in that bubble you don't

:21:59.:22:02.

really see anything else. I didn't see much more of Rio. It was a bit

:22:03.:22:08.

hard getting into the Olympic Park. Nobody really knew what was going

:22:09.:22:13.

on. It took us a week to find out how to get to the velodrome. We go

:22:14.:22:17.

to the pedestrian entrance and they'd say, you can't come in,

:22:18.:22:21.

you've got bikes, so we would go to the car entrance, and they said, you

:22:22.:22:26.

can't come in, you've got bikes, so you had to befriend a security

:22:27.:22:31.

guard. Is that the distraction, joking aside? It's all right. That's

:22:32.:22:37.

kind of what Latin America is about, it's just quite relaxed. I think

:22:38.:22:43.

once you get used that was OK. I had a brilliant time there. And

:22:44.:22:49.

incredibly proud thing to represent Great Britain at the Olympics. For

:22:50.:22:52.

me that was the biggest thing regardless of where I was. Did you

:22:53.:22:56.

get to see any other events? No. Didn't see anything actually. I was

:22:57.:23:02.

training for my event. There was a bit of click bait stuff going on, I

:23:03.:23:07.

did not even go to see the other track guys competing before me, but

:23:08.:23:11.

mine was one of the last track event so I have to rest up. And what about

:23:12.:23:19.

the whole of Team GB? Cycling clearly had an incredible

:23:20.:23:23.

achievement there. But also the whole team, presumably you feed off

:23:24.:23:26.

each other when you hear somebody else wins a medal? It was brilliant.

:23:27.:23:30.

We stayed in these big apartment blocks in the village. So Team GB

:23:31.:23:34.

have a whole want to themselves. They had these lifts that took ages.

:23:35.:23:40.

And by the time they come they are full of people who have been waiting

:23:41.:23:45.

ages. By the end of it we got in and even if we didn't know the athletes,

:23:46.:23:52.

we were best off saying congratulations because chances were

:23:53.:23:57.

they'd won medal anyway. I think everybody really thrived of success.

:23:58.:24:01.

Second in the medal table is phenomenal. It's incredible, isn't

:24:02.:24:06.

it? 22 gold medals. I think we are only about eight medals off the haul

:24:07.:24:15.

at London. I think the amount of different sports we have had success

:24:16.:24:21.

at as well. In terms of different sports we would be highest in the

:24:22.:24:25.

medal table as well, which is pretty impressive as well. Shows what a

:24:26.:24:29.

diverse country we are at producing the best champions in the world.

:24:30.:24:33.

Brilliant. Thanks. Thanks for having me.

:24:34.:24:41.

Lots of you getting in touch on Twitter saying all credit to an

:24:42.:24:48.

amazing athlete. The media need to celebrate him and not pick holes.

:24:49.:24:57.

Paul got in touch. Cav really down to earth, good to see. This one says

:24:58.:25:01.

Mark Cavendish is a top man and it always pays to thank his team-mates

:25:02.:25:02.

and those involved. Nicola Adams is guaranteed

:25:03.:25:07.

at least a silver medal, after reaching the final

:25:08.:25:09.

of the fly weight boxing. She's defending the title

:25:10.:25:11.

she won in 2012, when she became the first female

:25:12.:25:15.

Olympic Boxing champion. She beat a familar rival

:25:16.:25:18.

in the semi-finals, in Ren Cancan, the Chinese woman, whom she defeated

:25:19.:25:21.

to win gold at the London Games. Adams won with a unanimous points

:25:22.:25:28.

decision, and will face France's, 10-time national champion

:25:29.:25:31.

Sarah Oarrah-moo-oon, won a world title in 2015

:25:32.:25:38.

and represented GB at Great to speak to you. What do you

:25:39.:25:53.

make of Nicola? She gets so much press attention, doesn't she? She's

:25:54.:25:57.

such a role model to so many young people. Yeah, I think she's a credit

:25:58.:26:02.

to the sport. She's really put her name on the map. And it just gives

:26:03.:26:09.

young females goals to achieve. I think that she will defend her

:26:10.:26:12.

Olympic medal. I think she's going to win gold. She's an incredible

:26:13.:26:17.

athlete and a real champion to the sports. You can see real

:26:18.:26:22.

similarities between her and Jade Jones who won tae kwon do gold

:26:23.:26:25.

yesterday. Nicola Adams hasn't turned up for anything except gold.

:26:26.:26:32.

No, I mean, she trains with the lads up at GB. She's got that winning

:26:33.:26:37.

mentality. I think that's what takes her where she is at. She's a very,

:26:38.:26:44.

very skilled boxer. She can fight on the inside. I think she's the one to

:26:45.:26:50.

beat. If anybody is going to beat heard they've got to be on their

:26:51.:26:54.

game to have a chance. It is interesting that you say that she

:26:55.:26:58.

trains with the blokes. I was reading yesterday that she says to

:26:59.:27:02.

keep herself sharp to fight other women, she enjoys fighting men

:27:03.:27:04.

because generally they are quicker and it keeps her at the top of her

:27:05.:27:08.

game. It's not only that, it's probably finding a lady that's going

:27:09.:27:16.

to push as hard as the men. I don't think there is in England, to be

:27:17.:27:20.

honest. I think that she's clearly our number one. So all our hopes are

:27:21.:27:26.

on her for the gold medal. So basically I think that she's

:27:27.:27:30.

definitely guaranteed gold. I don't want this to sound patronising, but

:27:31.:27:35.

do men find it difficult to fight against the likes of Nicola Adams?

:27:36.:27:39.

While there are lots of things, they do with her in the ring. Personally

:27:40.:27:44.

myself I wouldn't really want to get in there and two with her. But I've

:27:45.:27:52.

heard a few rumours. And that sounds like a glitch unfortunately. How

:27:53.:27:58.

frustrating. We will try to reconnect that line. I think we are

:27:59.:28:03.

going to fail to do that. We will try to reconnect. In the meantime,

:28:04.:28:06.

massive night for Usain Bolt. Usain Bolt heads for a record

:28:07.:28:08.

:28:29.:28:44.

unfortunately. Can we go to the newsroom? I don't think we can at

:28:45.:28:49.

the moment, if I'm honest we are about a minute and a half early

:28:50.:28:53.

because we were trying to speak to Billy Joe Saunders whose line has

dropped for us at the moment. I would be interested to get your

thoughts on drinking because there is this study which has come out

:29:01.:29:07.

which says that over half of parents in the UK allow under 14-year-olds

:29:08.:29:11.

to junk alcohol. Is that something you would allow them to do? Is it a

:29:12.:29:15.

little sip of yours or would you say no. Now we can get the early

:29:16.:29:23.

newsroom summary, so I appreciate that.

:29:24.:29:26.

the achievements of British competitors.

:30:23.:30:25.

If I have my way, yes, but we've got to talk to the government and the

:30:26.:30:33.

Olympic and Paralympic chiefs. I'm optimistic. So what's important is

:30:34.:30:37.

that we've obviously got the Paralympics coming up, I'm really

all with feats of athleticism, but it has also brought us

some lighter moments. British cycling hero Jason Kenny

is that really a bag for life? The Buzzfeed journalist

Chris Applegate Tweeted that this was the most British thing

he had ever seen. Alhough Belfast boxer Michael

:34:16.:34:18.

Conlan didn't manage to win a medal this week, he certainly

inspired someone. A five-year-old County Dublin boy

:34:28.:34:29.

has sent a touching letter to his hero, offering him a

consolation prize. Finn McManus

:34:33.:34:36.

told a devastated Conlan: "I want

you to have my school medal Michael Conlan was clearly impressed

:34:39.:34:42.

by this, tweeting that the young lad, he had

:34:43.:34:50.

a gift waiting for him. So another fantastic

:34:51.:34:54.

performance from Usain Bolt. The fastest man in the world did it

:34:55.:34:58.

again, winning his second gold medal of this Olympics,

:34:59.:35:01.

and looking like he might even go Let's take a look at his

:35:02.:35:04.

Olympic highlights. Here comes Usain Bolt. Streaking

:35:05.:35:22.

away from the field. Gold for Jamaica. That is superb. It is a new

:35:23.:35:25.

world record. Usain Bolt already away. Look at the

:35:26.:35:41.

time! It is gold for Usain Bolt and a new world record. I cannot believe

:35:42.:35:50.

it. Usain Bolt has it in his hands. But it is Jamaica, one more to go.

:35:51.:35:57.

Asafa Powell, what is the time? It is a new world record! Three gold

:35:58.:36:07.

medals. Bolt quickly out of the blocks. Coming into his stride

:36:08.:36:14.

alongside Gatlin. He is going to win the gold. It is a clean start. Bolt

:36:15.:36:26.

is out of the blocks really well. Look at him go. He is going to do it

:36:27.:36:33.

again! Gold all the way. You cannot argue. Here he goes. Jamaica are the

:36:34.:36:42.

gold medallists again. And it is a new world record. Smashes it to

:36:43.:36:48.

pieces. Gatlin gets away well. A focused effort. And here comes Usain

:36:49.:36:54.

Bolt. He is going to take it. Usain Bolt gets it. 9.8 zero. What more

:36:55.:37:09.

does he have for us? Usain Bolt, on his own, as he has been throughout

:37:10.:37:13.

his career, running away from everybody, running to what he would

:37:14.:37:18.

love to be immortality as an athlete. 90.79, it is his eighth

:37:19.:37:23.

gold medal. I ran hard on the turn but when I came to the straight, my

:37:24.:37:27.

body was not responding. But I am getting older. I am not as young and

:37:28.:37:32.

fresh but it is just one of those things. I am excited that I got the

:37:33.:37:35.

gold medal and that is the main thing.

:37:36.:37:40.

Usain Bolt doing what Usain Bolt does best.

:37:41.:37:47.

Diane Modahl is one of Britain's most successful 800 metre runner,

:37:48.:37:50.

winning gold in the 1990 Commonwealth Games and competing

:37:51.:37:52.

She now runs the Diane Modahl Sports Foundation.

:37:53.:37:55.

Derek Redmond, British sprinter and World Champion

:37:56.:38:00.

has competed in two Olympic Games, is next to me.

:38:01.:38:06.

Thanks to you both for speaking to me about this incredible man. Ever

:38:07.:38:11.

in doubt? It was never in doubt. The big thing was how fast would he run.

:38:12.:38:19.

The fact that Gatlin was not there made no difference. He seemed

:38:20.:38:25.

generally frustrated -- genuinely frustrated that he did not break the

:38:26.:38:29.

record. Absolutely. He has gone there in great shape to win the

:38:30.:38:33.

three medals. The 200, it is probably his last 200 on the world

:38:34.:38:37.

stage and he felt that he was in shape to challenge the world record.

:38:38.:38:41.

The fact that he did not get close to it will be disappointing but I'm

:38:42.:38:48.

sure he will get over it. Diane, not much to criticise Usain Bolt for

:38:49.:38:51.

what some people have criticised in the past that he has sometimes just

:38:52.:38:56.

won the race and not pushed himself showboating towards the end. He

:38:57.:38:59.

really wanted that world record and he did not get it. That is possibly

:39:00.:39:06.

so spectators and fans being just a little bit greedy, I think. -- us as

:39:07.:39:12.

spectators. We're so used to him, every time he steps on the track, a

:39:13.:39:16.

miracle happens, something amazing happens. And I think he was probably

:39:17.:39:20.

frustrated, as he set himself, that he did not get the world record,

:39:21.:39:25.

although he ran the curve and he was going for it. And of course, knowing

:39:26.:39:33.

Usain Bolt, he would not want to be upstaged by the 400 metre record

:39:34.:39:37.

earlier in the week. Of course, it did not help that there was a rain

:39:38.:39:43.

shower just before he started. You mentioned the 400 metres and I

:39:44.:39:47.

wanted to bring that up. Wouldn't you love to see the two compete?

:39:48.:39:57.

Absolutely. But I do not know what Derek would say. He is the 400

:39:58.:40:03.

metres specialist. With Usain Bolt's speed at 400 metres, I think Wayde

:40:04.:40:08.

van Niekerk would struggle. If you are going to put them in the race,

:40:09.:40:11.

it would have to be 300 metres. Wayde van Niekerk, for me he is the

:40:12.:40:19.

best performance of the Olympic Games, I may be biased because it is

:40:20.:40:25.

my event but 43.03 is unbelievable. He is the only sprinter to ever run

:40:26.:40:31.

under ten seconds, 20 seconds and 44 seconds. But over 100 and 200

:40:32.:40:38.

metres, Usain Bolt has it hands down. Over 400 metres, Wayde van

:40:39.:40:42.

Niekerk has got it so the distance to run would be 300. That would be

:40:43.:40:46.

an event. But Usain Bolt would not do that? He could do it. One of the

:40:47.:40:51.

reasons he does not like running 400 is because he does not like

:40:52.:40:57.

training. He has admitted that. He ran 45 flat many years ago. But as a

:40:58.:41:02.

one-off, it would be interesting to see how he would do. But the thing

:41:03.:41:06.

that would scare him over 300 metres is the amount of lactic acid that

:41:07.:41:10.

would be created in his leg, but Wayde van Niekerk would be used to

:41:11.:41:13.

that. I reckon that would be a fantastic spectacle. Looking ahead

:41:14.:41:20.

for Usain Bolt to do the treble treble, Diane, the Jamaican

:41:21.:41:23.

sprinters have not done as well as normal. Do you think is going to get

:41:24.:41:28.

that in the relay? I think it is absolutely on. The difficulty with

:41:29.:41:32.

the relay is getting the baton round. Everybody has to do that,

:41:33.:41:37.

even Usain Bolt. With the team they have got, with the inspiration of

:41:38.:41:45.

somebody as strong, clearly in good form, as Usain Bolt, it is

:41:46.:41:48.

absolutely on. But we should not underestimate the other competitors.

:41:49.:41:53.

The Team GB guys will have something to say about that. They are a shark

:41:54.:41:58.

team. They have described themselves as a family. They know that they are

:41:59.:42:01.

running well and they know that they have trained well. They have got the

:42:02.:42:06.

baton round. I think we have to watch out for the other competitors

:42:07.:42:09.

as well. But the trouble trouble is absolutely on. It is an obviously.

:42:10.:42:19.

-- it is an, obviously. The problem for Usain Bolt is that nobody likes

:42:20.:42:24.

to have to rely on other people for your run success but this is a

:42:25.:42:27.

relay, a team event and he has to rely on those other three guys. The

:42:28.:42:31.

biggest problem is getting the baton round. You can be the greatest team,

:42:32.:42:35.

the Shahpur steam, the quickest team as we saw in 2004 at Athens where

:42:36.:42:41.

America had a slight tweak in one of their changeovers, and we have

:42:42.:42:46.

another world-class team on their shoulders. We have seen it in major

:42:47.:42:53.

championships before, it can happen and we hope it doesn't. It puts us

:42:54.:42:57.

in an odd situation because I would like to see Usain Bolt doing the

:42:58.:43:01.

trouble trouble, trouble trouble, however you want to pronounce it,

:43:02.:43:07.

but that is at the cost of Britain winning a gold medal. -- triple

:43:08.:43:14.

trouble. What is the future going to be now for sprinting? The worry is

:43:15.:43:21.

that Usain Bolt says his coach wants to do another 200 and then he is

:43:22.:43:25.

done. I was lucky enough to be in the stadium when he ran his 200

:43:26.:43:30.

metres in 2012. When he walked into the stadium, the electricity was

:43:31.:43:34.

phenomenal. He had the crowd eating out of his hands. Athletics, with

:43:35.:43:37.

all of its scandals, it needs someone like that. Wayde van

:43:38.:43:43.

Niekerk, is that him and? Does he have the personality? Who picks up

:43:44.:43:48.

the baton? The problem is there. From an ability point of view, there

:43:49.:43:52.

are athletes that could fill those shoes. We have Mo Farah and Jess

:43:53.:43:58.

Ennis. We have Wayde van Niekerks and other world-class athletes. But

:43:59.:44:03.

what we're going to miss is that personality and character and it

:44:04.:44:07.

will leave a hole. The sad thing, if anyone else tries to be Usain Bolt,

:44:08.:44:12.

they will say, they are only copying. Nothing else can be said.

:44:13.:44:16.

He will leave a massive hole from that perspective. The competition

:44:17.:44:21.

and the times and the medals will continue to be won by other

:44:22.:44:24.

athletes. Other people will come along with similar abilities that

:44:25.:44:28.

will be able to perform at that level but following that personality

:44:29.:44:33.

that he brings, we are going to miss that. Single-handedly, he has been

:44:34.:44:39.

responsible for keeping track and field where it is in the world is

:44:40.:44:42.

today. Did you see anyone taking over, Diane? What is unique about

:44:43.:44:48.

Usain Bolt is the fact that he is charismatic, and confident. What

:44:49.:44:53.

we're used to seeing in athletes is that tunnel vision, the game face

:44:54.:44:58.

that they come with on the running track. And he has changed all of

:44:59.:45:02.

that. He has entertained us and excited us and then when it has

:45:03.:45:04.

really mattered, he has also performed. And I think this is an

:45:05.:45:10.

opportunity now. It is an opportunity for other talented young

:45:11.:45:13.

athletes to get up there and not try to copy or to be a clone of Usain

:45:14.:45:20.

Bolt, but to go out there and perform, keep winning, keep right

:45:21.:45:25.

first times and bring their own style, their own charisma, their own

:45:26.:45:29.

personality to the sport. It has been done before. Usain Bolt is

:45:30.:45:33.

unique, absolutely, but what is great about athletics is that it is

:45:34.:45:39.

an opportunity for others to come through and shame. And there will be

:45:40.:45:43.

others waiting in the wings, ready to show their own personality.

:45:44.:45:50.

They have to be careful, these up-and-coming athletes, just

:45:51.:45:56.

remember you've got to be winning and winning in style before you can

:45:57.:45:58.

start showboating and doing the sort of stuff Usain Bolt has done. Years

:45:59.:46:03.

ago Michael Johnson with his gold spikes come he could afford to wear

:46:04.:46:08.

gold spikes because the guy was smashing world record over 200 and

:46:09.:46:13.

400. So it's all well and good but I always say take care of business

:46:14.:46:20.

first and then the world is your lobster. I think it would be a

:46:21.:46:27.

mistake for anybody to go and try to replicate what is a natural

:46:28.:46:31.

personality of Usain Bolt. I remember meeting him when he was 15

:46:32.:46:34.

years old at the world Junior Championships in Sherbrooke in

:46:35.:46:39.

Canada and we were there with a strong Team GB contingent ourselves.

:46:40.:46:45.

We were very proud and confident about what they young Craig

:46:46.:46:48.

Pickering, 100 metres sprinter, was going to achieve at this

:46:49.:46:53.

Championships. The Jamaican team looked at us and said, OK, we see

:46:54.:46:58.

Craig, we recognise his talent, but look out for this young 15-year-old

:46:59.:47:03.

Tommy Usain Bolt. And at the age of 15 at those world junior

:47:04.:47:07.

championships he was amazing, charismatic. He was entertaining.

:47:08.:47:14.

His ego at 15 was just as Big Ben as it is today. And so that is natural

:47:15.:47:20.

to him and it would be wrong of anybody to try to replicate that.

:47:21.:47:25.

But it would be absolutely right for those with the personality and the

:47:26.:47:28.

drive to want to go out and entertained to do it in their own

:47:29.:47:31.

unique way. Because that's what sport is about. We are there to

:47:32.:47:35.

entertain and to provide people with a showcase. Encouraging young people

:47:36.:47:40.

to get involved in the sport. Thank you for coming to speak to us.

:47:41.:47:44.

The International Paralympic Committee has said

:47:45.:47:48.

there is ?90 million deficit in funding for the Games.

:47:49.:47:50.

Only 12% of tickets have been sold, and the funding shortfall means some

:47:51.:47:54.

athletes from smaller nations may not be able to get to the games.

:47:55.:47:58.

The man who has to tell the Police 24 hours before he has sex

:47:59.:48:02.

will today find out if the legal order is to be extended

:48:03.:48:05.

John O'Neill claims his Sexual Risk Order is so wide-ranging

:48:06.:48:15.

that he is unable to work and is now homeless.

:48:16.:48:17.

I must warn you this discussion will contain frank,

:48:18.:48:20.

sexual language which you might not want children to hear - our reporter

:48:21.:48:23.

First of all, can you give us a little background to this case?

:48:24.:48:27.

Tell us what could happen today. These sexual risk orders came into

:48:28.:48:31.

force last year and they can be imposed on anyone the courts believe

:48:32.:48:35.

could be at potential risk of causing potential harm. In the case

:48:36.:48:40.

of John O'Neill he was acquitted of rape but during the trial we heard

:48:41.:48:44.

evidence that he had rape fantasies. He always maintained that those will

:48:45.:48:49.

role-play and part of a consensual relationship with his then partner.

:48:50.:48:53.

And that he also had safe words to ensure the situation could not get

:48:54.:48:57.

out of control. Despite that the judge took the unusual step of

:48:58.:49:01.

saying that he was dangerous. Since then he's had this order imposed on

:49:02.:49:05.

him and he says because of the stringent nature of that order he is

:49:06.:49:06.

now living rough. So this is where I've been camping

:49:07.:49:20.

out. Over here, that's the little one-man tent. That's where I sleep.

:49:21.:49:26.

I've got some waterproof containers for clothes and such. Firewood for

:49:27.:49:34.

the concrete stove I have improvised out of breeze blocks. That's my

:49:35.:49:41.

water stash. The piles of lemonade bottles. Jesse is that as water

:49:42.:49:48.

containers. Do you actually like living here? Once I got used to it,

:49:49.:49:54.

yeah. The bills are very reasonable. Isn't it demoralising to live like

:49:55.:49:58.

this? It is under the current circumstances because I thought all

:49:59.:50:04.

this was behind me. I thought all this was behind me. But to have to

:50:05.:50:10.

go back to it, it has been a bit of a shock. But to be honest I'm

:50:11.:50:20.

entirely focused on the hearing. John O'Neill claims he's living

:50:21.:50:23.

rough because he can't get a job after the sexual risk order he was

:50:24.:50:28.

placed on prevents him from using electronic devices unless the police

:50:29.:50:33.

can access them. Despite being found not guilty of rape is legally

:50:34.:50:37.

required to tell the police 24 hours before he has sex. And in his first

:50:38.:50:41.

interview he told this programme the order has impacted on his life. Why

:50:42.:50:47.

have you had this sexual risk order served upon you? This is the mystery

:50:48.:50:57.

that we have been trying to figure out. We were amazed that the police

:50:58.:51:01.

made the application after an acquittal, unanimous acquittal of

:51:02.:51:06.

the only time that I've ever been accused of. As he's homeless, John

:51:07.:51:13.

prepares for today's court hearing in a park in York. He claims he was

:51:14.:51:17.

advised to declare himself unavailable to work, as a result he

:51:18.:51:22.

says he's lost the right to universal credit and legal aid. Have

:51:23.:51:28.

you made yourself a martyr? I haven't done it, that's the point.

:51:29.:51:32.

Have you done it just as a campaign against the situation you are in?

:51:33.:51:36.

That is an outrageous misrepresentation of what has

:51:37.:51:42.

happened. I have not done this. None of us expected after the claim was

:51:43.:51:48.

cut that it would have a knock-on effect to legal aid. John spends his

:51:49.:51:54.

days in coffee shops and walking the streets. Thinking about the court

:51:55.:51:58.

case today which could see his sexual risk order extended for up to

:51:59.:52:04.

five years. Do you just want around town because you've got nowhere to

:52:05.:52:09.

live? No, I'm working overtime. I've got a matter of days to prepare for

:52:10.:52:13.

a very complicated case in which I'll be representing myself. So it's

:52:14.:52:20.

all work. Do you have to come in to pick things up? Why are you in town?

:52:21.:52:24.

That's right. Because I don't have an address my solicitor sends

:52:25.:52:27.

paperwork to the post office in the centre of town. So yes I do have to

:52:28.:52:34.

walk in to pick up post. North Yorkshire Police say the orders are

:52:35.:52:37.

there to protect the public from the risk of sexual harm, and it's up to

:52:38.:52:41.

the courts to decide if they are justified. Department for Work and

:52:42.:52:45.

Pensions say they don't recognise this account of events and urge Mr

:52:46.:52:48.

O'Neill to contact them if he wants help to get back to work. I accept

:52:49.:52:54.

that it's odd and very unusual. But I was homeless when I was a kid, I

:52:55.:52:59.

camped out all the time. It's not as much of a culture shock for me as it

:53:00.:53:03.

might be for someone else. I have no control over what happens on Friday

:53:04.:53:07.

and I am not optimistic because of what's happened this last week. I

:53:08.:53:16.

just can't imagine winning on Friday.

:53:17.:53:20.

So, Peter, he said in a report that he will be representing himself.

:53:21.:53:26.

Tell us what will happen today? He lost his right to legal aid so he

:53:27.:53:30.

will be representing himself in court today and says he's not

:53:31.:53:33.

optimistic because he is not a legal professional. The most likely

:53:34.:53:37.

outcomes are either that the order is lifted or it could be imposed for

:53:38.:53:40.

a period of time right up to five years. Civil Liberties groups have

:53:41.:53:44.

always complained about these orders saying that they are heavily

:53:45.:53:48.

restrictive, especially on people that have never been convicted of

:53:49.:53:51.

any crime. North Yorkshire Police always claim that the conditions of

:53:52.:53:56.

this order are proportionate. Of course the media picks up on this

:53:57.:53:59.

committee needs to give 24 hours notice before he has sex. He says

:54:00.:54:08.

there are greater challenges. He says that's the thing everybody is

:54:09.:54:13.

caught up on, the 24 hour notice. But he says it is the limit on

:54:14.:54:17.

electronic devices which is the big thing. We now live in a society that

:54:18.:54:21.

is so reliant on technology, either at work or at home you might have to

:54:22.:54:26.

use a mobile phone or a computer and unless these have access to all

:54:27.:54:30.

those things he cannot use them and he says it is a huge restriction on

:54:31.:54:33.

his life and one of the reasons he is now living rough.

:54:34.:54:35.

Thanks for dropping by to fill us in.

:54:36.:55:13.

Half of parents with children under the age of 14 allow them

:55:14.:55:16.

to drink alcohol at home, according to a new survey.

:55:17.:55:19.

The research, by a leading insurance company,

:55:20.:55:20.

spoke to more than 1,000 people and found that many of them

:55:21.:55:23.

It also found that a third of parents with children under 14

:55:24.:55:27.

used alcohol as a bribe to encourage good behaviour.

:55:28.:55:29.

A spokesman for the East England Ambulance Service said that despite

:55:30.:55:32.

the best efforts of everyone involved the child sadly died. I

:55:33.:55:36.

have spoken to Essex Police and they tell me they have arrested a

:55:37.:55:39.

29-year-old woman for allowing a doctor be dangerously out of control

:55:40.:55:43.

and injuring a person. She remains in custody this morning. The dog in

:55:44.:55:47.

question has been seized and placed in kennels. The breed is yet to be

:55:48.:55:49.

identified. Do they automatically destroy dogs?

:55:50.:56:03.

They have two identify the breed and act within the law. Worryingly on

:56:04.:56:07.

Monday there was another fatal attack, a man who was 52. Attacked

:56:08.:56:11.

and killed by a dog while walking his own Yorkshire terrier in

:56:12.:56:16.

Huddersfield. This was notable particularly because the dog in

:56:17.:56:19.

question that attacked him had been returned to its owner a week earlier

:56:20.:56:22.

by dog wardens who deemed that the breed was not dangerous. And that

:56:23.:56:29.

incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints

:56:30.:56:31.

Commission. Frankly there are still lots of dangerous dogs owned by

:56:32.:56:35.

members of the public, at least 21 people, 14 of them children, have

:56:36.:56:40.

died in the last ten years as the result of dog attacks. More than

:56:41.:56:43.

7000 people have been taken to hospital with injuries as a result

:56:44.:56:48.

of dog attacks in two years. The Dangerous Dogs Act, there to try to

:56:49.:56:52.

stop this problem, amended in 2014 to give greater powers to try and

:56:53.:56:57.

prevent this, some of the new measures were introduced to penalise

:56:58.:57:00.

the owners of dogs who attack people on private as well as public

:57:01.:57:03.

property, and actually the prison sentences were increased as well for

:57:04.:57:08.

those convicted of certain offences. I think especially with this latest

:57:09.:57:13.

death a lot of people will be asking whether the law is simply not

:57:14.:57:16.

working well enough. Thank you for dropping by and filling us in on

:57:17.:57:19.

that story. We will bring you an update on that. Headlines in the

:57:20.:57:24.

next couple of minutes but first the weather. After the sunshine there is

:57:25.:57:30.

a change of seasons in the air for many, I'm afraid to say. Some will

:57:31.:57:35.

be welcome of the rain falling over the next 24 hours. The glorious week

:57:36.:57:43.

in the Highlands, best of the weather here today, up to 24

:57:44.:57:47.

Celsius. This shot from Dorset much more typical of what many of you are

:57:48.:57:51.

seeing out there right now. Rain spreading its way north with an

:57:52.:57:56.

eastwards. Things by turning up this afternoon through England, Wales and

:57:57.:57:59.

Northern Ireland as the rain works northwards and eastwards, never

:58:00.:58:01.

quite reaching the far north of Scotland. Expect temperatures of 23

:58:02.:58:07.

degrees. But central and southern Scotland, not a great afternoon. Not

:58:08.:58:12.

great in England but some areas need rain, we've only had four or five

:58:13.:58:16.

millimetres in the East Midlands so far this month, any rain here will

:58:17.:58:19.

be welcome. I'm sure some gardens across the South will welcome the

:58:20.:58:23.

occasional rain. As the sun comes out the win strengthens and this is

:58:24.:58:27.

our change to autumn as we go through tonight and into tomorrow,

:58:28.:58:31.

deepening area of low pressure to the west of Northern Ireland,

:58:32.:58:36.

strengthening winds around, rain pushing northwards towards Orkney

:58:37.:58:39.

and Shetland and bringing infrequent, heavy and thundery

:58:40.:58:41.

showers towards western parts of the UK to go into Saturday morning. The

:58:42.:58:45.

weekend will not be a wash-out by any means and in fact some parts of

:58:46.:58:48.

north and name in Scotland, another fine day. Eastern parts of England,

:58:49.:58:53.

some getting away with a few showers, dry weather. Frequent

:58:54.:58:56.

showers elsewhere, some heavy and thundery. Dusty winds accompanying.

:58:57.:59:01.

After temperatures in the mid to high 20s, some will be struggling to

:59:02.:59:04.

get out of the team's Saturday afternoon. The big story for

:59:05.:59:08.

tomorrow is the strength of wind around the coast and southern

:59:09.:59:11.

western parts of England and Wales, widespread gales. Winds touching 40,

:59:12.:59:17.

50, even 60 mph. That will have an impact on ferry services. And being

:59:18.:59:21.

the summer, a big weekend of outdoor activities could be hampered as the

:59:22.:59:25.

area of low pressure continues to push across the North Sea as we go

:59:26.:59:29.

through the night and into Sunday. Staying window through Saturday

:59:30.:59:31.

night. Frequent showers to begin with. Confined to eastern areas

:59:32.:59:36.

later. Try and buy to towards the West. Sunshine in the breeze not

:59:37.:59:42.

feeling especially warm. Taking is into Monday working its way across

:59:43.:59:46.

the UK and then into next week. Is that weather front just all is

:59:47.:59:49.

towards the West. And if they do that there's a chance, after a

:59:50.:59:52.

cooler weekend, we could start to bring warmer air back-up from the

:59:53.:59:55.

the near continent. Temperatures back to the mid or high 20s

:59:56.:59:59.

potentially across southern and eastern parts of the UK. More

:00:00.:00:02.

updates on the news channel throughout the day.

:00:03.:00:06.

Hello it's 10 o'clock, it's Friday - I'm Chloe Tilly -

:00:07.:00:08.

welcome to the programme if you've just joined us.

:00:09.:00:10.

The greatest sprinter of all time Usain Bolt is now just one final

:00:11.:00:17.

away from the "triple triple" - three golds from three

:00:18.:00:21.

I'm getting older, I'm not as young and fresh but I'm just excited I got

:00:22.:00:42.

the gold medal. Marc Cavendish, fresh from Rio, tells us what it

:00:43.:00:46.

means to be part of Team GB's successful stop to represent Great

:00:47.:00:51.

Britain is such an honour. The Olympics is the biggest thing. You

:00:52.:00:58.

can watch the full interview on our programme page.

:00:59.:01:01.

And do you let your teenagers drink at home?

:01:02.:01:04.

A new study suggesting that half of all parents in Britain do.

:01:05.:01:19.

We can head to speak to queue and get all of the updates on the

:01:20.:01:26.

Olympics. What will you do when they are over? I do not know what we will

:01:27.:01:31.

be talking about next week I'm sure there is football going on. We have

:01:32.:01:36.

to talk about Olympics while it is going on. First, we have to speak

:01:37.:01:44.

about the incomparable Usain Bolt, the 29-year-old, powering his way

:01:45.:01:48.

around the video track to win the 200 metres gold for the third

:01:49.:01:54.

straight Games will stop 19.78 seconds. He stays on course for an

:01:55.:01:59.

extraordinary travel trouble of sprint titles. Team GB consolidated

:02:00.:02:07.

second in the medal table with three golds, Jade Jones wrote her name in

:02:08.:02:11.

the history, defending her Olympic crown in the under 57 kilograms

:02:12.:02:18.

category, eating a big rival from Spain -- beating. I didn't actually

:02:19.:02:28.

realise how much pressure it would be. It was only today, I thought,

:02:29.:02:34.

there is a lot of pressure, and pressure on myself, because I know I

:02:35.:02:38.

am the best but in tae kwon do, doesn't always work like that. I

:02:39.:02:43.

just wanted to win so much and I've trained so hard for four years, I

:02:44.:02:47.

just wanted to win and to finally do it is just amazing. Written's first

:02:48.:02:52.

go on day 13 came with a historic 1- to put the Brownlee Brothers in

:02:53.:03:00.

triathlon, Alistair beating his brother Johnny. As expected, Saskia

medal in London. Tonight at nine p.m., grape's hockey players take on

reigning champions the Netherlands in the final. Britain had never won

the Limerick title, they are up against a team who won in Beijing

:03:27.:03:33.

and London. -- the Olympic title. I am joined by part of the rugby

:03:34.:03:41.

sevens team. James, I want to start with you. It was a great

:03:42.:03:44.

performance, you beat New Zealand early on, did you ever think that

:03:45.:03:53.

you would have gone so far and start so well? I think when we can

:03:54.:03:59.

together ten weeks ago, we had the challenges of never having played

:04:00.:04:02.

together as a team, we knew we were confident in the levels of training

:04:03.:04:05.

we have had back home before we went to Rio, we wanted to get a good

:04:06.:04:12.

start in the first game against Kenya, and then we built our

:04:13.:04:16.

performances. It was a great feeling to reach the final. That semifinal

:04:17.:04:22.

against South Africa was a very tough much, it's obviously put you

:04:23.:04:27.

into the gold-medal game, but was it so tough you had spent all your

:04:28.:04:31.

energy, did you have anything left in the tank against Fiji for the

:04:32.:04:36.

final? I don't think so. It was probably our toughest game, and it

:04:37.:04:41.

was another one that was really tight, but in the last game, that

:04:42.:04:47.

was bubbly our worst performance, unfortunately, and the Fijian is

:04:48.:04:51.

really hit the mark, and probably played as well as they could have.

:04:52.:04:58.

They hadn't performed to their best throughout the tournament and it was

:04:59.:05:01.

a lucky for us that when they are on form, everything goes to hand, they

:05:02.:05:07.

always off-loading the ball, they have pace, powerful, huge men, they

:05:08.:05:11.

are difficult to stop. Do you come home with any disappointment or is

:05:12.:05:13.

the silver medal almost overachievement? It was a funny

:05:14.:05:20.

feeling, because essentially, you come off having lost the game and it

:05:21.:05:24.

was the final and we lost it quite badly but then on reflection, how

:05:25.:05:29.

far we have come in the last ten weeks, we pretty quickly were

:05:30.:05:32.

buzzing in terms of what we managed to achieve as a group. Tom, the

:05:33.:05:38.

captain, the legacy of rugby sevens, it is starting to stand out as a

:05:39.:05:43.

sport in its own right away from the 15s game, do you think this medal

:05:44.:05:47.

will go some way towards establishing the sevens game in

:05:48.:05:52.

people's minds? I hope so. The game of sevens has been on an amazing

:05:53.:05:57.

journey, we have seen it grow in popularity, no more so than in the

:05:58.:06:00.

last couple of weeks. The feedback we have had from people, it was the

:06:01.:06:04.

most amazing thing, people have never seen a game before saying how

:06:05.:06:10.

exciting it was. It's 14 minutes, amazing action, lots of scoring,

:06:11.:06:15.

it's easy to get into even if you don't understand the game of rugby

:06:16.:06:20.

so much. That's amazing for us as players, to be part of that on the

:06:21.:06:25.

biggest stage there is an also in terms of legacy, we wanted to

:06:26.:06:28.

protect our ability to come together as a team, the ability we showed out

:06:29.:06:36.

there on the field was special, the way we fought and had a never say

:06:37.:06:39.

die attitude for Team GB and everyone that represents, is

:06:40.:06:46.

something we would like to leave a legacy for. Congratulations. I'm

:06:47.:06:50.

sure you will be celebrating for some time to come. We will be back

:06:51.:06:58.

just after 1030 a.m. To talk more Rio sport. Time for a summary of

:06:59.:07:03.

today's news. Police in Essex say a boy who died

:07:04.:07:06.

after being attacked by a dog It happened at Halstead

:07:07.:07:10.

late yesterday. A 29-year-old woman has been

:07:11.:07:13.

arrested for allegedly allowing a dog to be dangerously

:07:14.:07:15.

out of control. The United States Olympic Committee

:07:16.:07:20.

has apologised to the organisers of the Rio Olympics,

:07:21.:07:22.

and the people of Brazil, for the behaviour of

:07:23.:07:24.

a group of swimmers. The four, who include the gold

:07:25.:07:26.

medallist Ryan Lochte, Brazilian police say they lied

:07:27.:07:28.

to cover up an act of vandalism Latest reports say that Jimmy Fagan

:07:29.:07:44.

is to pay $11,000 to a Brazilian charity.

:07:45.:07:47.

A senior member of the International Olympic Committee - Patrick Hickey -

:07:48.:07:50.

has temporarily stepped down after being arrested in Brazil over

:07:51.:07:52.

the suspected illegal sale of tickets for the Rio Games.

:07:53.:07:54.

has also stepped aside from his role as president of the European

:07:55.:07:59.

Brazilian police claim he was involved in a scheme

:08:00.:08:02.

to pass tickets to touts, who sold them at inflated prices

:08:03.:08:04.

on the black market. He denies any wrongdoing.

:08:05.:08:10.

On this programme yesterday we heard calls for a post

:08:11.:08:13.

Rio Olympic Games parade in Britain. Now support appears to be growing.

:08:14.:08:16.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has said he is keen

:08:17.:08:19.

He said he was speaking to the government and Olympic

:08:20.:08:24.

and Paralympic sports chiefs to find the best way of celebrating

:08:25.:08:27.

the achievements of British competitors.

:08:28.:08:33.

If I have my way, yes, but we've got to talk the government and the

:08:34.:08:39.

Olympic and Paralympians chiefs. They will want it, that's why I am

:08:40.:08:43.

optimistic, and what is important is we have got the power Olympics

:08:44.:08:47.

coming up, I'm excited about that as well, we celebrate our heroes

:08:48.:08:53.

returning home from Rio, Olympians and Paralympians.

In the latest leadership debate with rival Owen Smith,

:09:29.:09:32.

Mr Corbyn said he wanted a world where there is "no

:09:33.:09:35.

need" to go to war - he also emphasised the importance

Owen Smith said the NATO treaty requires all members

Questions remain over funding for the Paralympics in Rio

:09:42.:09:47.

despite a court in Brazil ordering the release of ?56 million

:09:48.:09:50.

It had been held up because of issues over public scrutiny.

:09:51.:09:55.

More details are expected from the International Paralympic

:09:56.:09:57.

Just 12% of tickets have been sold for the Paralympics.

:09:58.:10:16.

We will be speaking to Mark Cockburn and Dame Sarah Storey later on this

programme. Around a hundred water voles

are being released into the wild They were once commonly found

:10:24.:10:26.

in the British countryside, but are now one of our

:10:27.:10:29.

most endangered species. Ecologists from the National Trust

in the medal table in Rio - but for some athletes who competed

:10:47.:10:49.

in 2012, they will have been watching from home,

:10:50.:10:52.

because they couldn't get UK Sport is the body that decides

:10:53.:10:54.

which sports will be give After London 2012,

:10:55.:10:58.

four Olympic sports - Basketball, Volleyball,

:10:59.:11:02.

Table Tennis and Wrestling - Other sports suffered

:11:03.:11:03.

less severe cuts. Swimming - which fell short

:11:04.:11:08.

of its London 2012 target - was cut by nearly ?4

:11:09.:11:11.

million. Some sports had more money. Overall

:11:12.:11:19.

the total funding was 347 million. So what happens to those

:11:20.:11:30.

athletes who are left not And what about the athletes

:11:31.:11:32.

who haven't hit their medal targets in Rio -

:11:33.:11:36.

will they lose out in and Olympic Bronze Medallist Chloe

:11:37.:11:38.

Rogers and Professional Table Tennis In our Southampton studio

:11:39.:11:48.

is the Chair of UK Sport Rod Carr. These are pretty brutal decisions.

:11:49.:12:00.

Is it literally a case of where you finish at an Olympic Games as to

:12:01.:12:05.

what funding you get? No, it isn't, is the reality. It's a case that

:12:06.:12:11.

it's a factor, but the main thing we look at is the capability of a

:12:12.:12:14.

particular sport going forwards. We spend more time looking forwards as

:12:15.:12:19.

to who the sport is putting forward and whether they have got a

:12:20.:12:24.

realistic medal shot at the Games all the Games after, then we do

:12:25.:12:27.

looking backwards. So it isn't the case that it's as simple as

:12:28.:12:32.

committee don't perform, you get your money cut. It's worth pointing

:12:33.:12:37.

out that London was a special case, a home Olympics, the government

:12:38.:12:41.

decided that all competing British sports should have some basic

:12:42.:12:45.

funding, which had not been done before in the previous four Games.

:12:46.:12:51.

So it was a special case, we felt that if we didn't have the resources

:12:52.:12:56.

to carry on with that with sports that didn't have a realistic chance

:12:57.:13:00.

of getting to the podium for the next Games. He say it's not directly

:13:01.:13:06.

linked to performance but if you get the gymnastics team for example,

:13:07.:13:13.

which have done amazing things, far outperforming what was expected, Max

:13:14.:13:17.

Whitlock becoming a double champion, presumably gymnastics will now get

:13:18.:13:20.

more money, is that then taken away from another sport? You are right

:13:21.:13:25.

that we have a limited pot of money, we have to distribute that in the

:13:26.:13:31.

best way, to maximise our chances of getting the maximum number of medals

:13:32.:13:35.

so yes, it's tough and we have to make decisions. The gymnastics as a

:13:36.:13:41.

classic case in point, in 2000 they didn't do very well and they had

:13:42.:13:46.

their money cut. Their strategy was to have a root and branch review of

:13:47.:13:51.

what they were doing, the pathways for young gymnasts, coaches they

:13:52.:13:55.

were employing, they did all of that, and you have seen the results.

:13:56.:13:59.

It has taken them some time, but right now, three Olympic cycles

:14:00.:14:05.

later, they are right up there. And they did it bit by bit. Coming to us

:14:06.:14:09.

each time and delivering on what they said they would do, we

:14:10.:14:13.

responded with giving the more funding. The those sports that

:14:14.:14:22.

aren't yet there in funding terms, the reality is, if they come to us

:14:23.:14:26.

with a track record, and they demonstrate brought record of

:14:27.:14:33.

achievement, even at Junior or youth level, we will take that Somerset. I

:14:34.:14:40.

want to bring in Chloe and Simon, Chloe, you had that funding is a

:14:41.:14:45.

hockey player. We were very fortunate to have the funding and

:14:46.:14:50.

train full-time as a squad. It's been a long path and it comes over

:14:51.:14:53.

time, working hard to get that funding. They didn't qualify for the

:14:54.:15:01.

Athens Olympics, slowly they progressed, but from the Beijing

:15:02.:15:07.

cycle, we were funded full-time, and progression is helped and we have

:15:08.:15:12.

got better results, so it's about performances at the Olympics,

:15:13.:15:14.

performing well at every tournament and showing you are medal

:15:15.:15:17.

contenders, going into radio as well.

:15:18.:15:24.

When we talk about funding, what does it mean? Do you personally get

:15:25.:15:31.

money? As a training group for London and Rio, 30 men and 30 women

:15:32.:15:37.

on the hockey teams are funded, for a squad of 16 that get picked each

:15:38.:15:41.

tournament. We are all individually paid a monthly allowance, and that

:15:42.:15:48.

allows you to train full-time. We all live near the site. For the

:15:49.:15:53.

Beijing side of a lot of us were working part-time and training

:15:54.:15:55.

part-time and that showed in our results. Moving towards London and

:15:56.:15:59.

Rio we were able to be together every day, training fully, it has

:16:00.:16:04.

your full attention and focus and results improve. Give us the

:16:05.:16:09.

perspective on table tennis. You are not only a coach but your brother

:16:10.:16:13.

has self-funded and become world champion? The world champion is in a

:16:14.:16:16.

different sport, the sandpaper version. But Andrew is the athlete

:16:17.:16:24.

with most medals in Commonwealth history. Table tennis was given

:16:25.:16:29.

nominal funding for London and doesn't have funding now. Obviously

:16:30.:16:34.

it is a no-brainer. Table tennis needs funding for its elite level

:16:35.:16:38.

athletes and right throughout the sport. The concern is how governing

:16:39.:16:42.

bodies spend their money and how they allocate their money, it is of

:16:43.:16:47.

the greatest interest to me. How does your brother balance that, if

:16:48.:16:51.

he is self-funded, does he have a job? Andrew Bagley is very much

:16:52.:16:59.

full-time, he has just come back from China. Fortunately we have a

:17:00.:17:02.

very strong family network which I think you will find a lot of

:17:03.:17:06.

sportspeople have. In some ways not getting funding has created the

:17:07.:17:10.

athlete. We had to fight for what perhaps we felt was our right and we

:17:11.:17:15.

would still argue that. Equally so I ink that's made an athlete. We do it

:17:16.:17:21.

our own. But Andrew has always been selected for major events. Played in

:17:22.:17:27.

London 2012, and it has created an athlete who has had to fight and do

:17:28.:17:31.

it the hard way. It's not always a hard luck story if you don't get

:17:32.:17:35.

funded. Stephen saying we need funding for table tennis, what are

:17:36.:17:41.

the chances of that? Well, they are on the rise, particularly in the

:17:42.:17:46.

men's side of the game. Some good results at the Olympics with the

:17:47.:17:51.

men's team, knocked out in the quarterfinal against China won gold.

:17:52.:17:57.

So just like gymnastics 12 or 16 years ago, they are on the rise. And

:17:58.:18:03.

I'm sure, I know in fact they will come to us and ask for us to

:18:04.:18:08.

consider their case for Tokyo and beyond, and we will take that very

:18:09.:18:13.

seriously. And I think the point that's been made about people really

:18:14.:18:21.

digging deep is a good one. Even if they are not on funding. Remember

:18:22.:18:25.

that public funding, in this case lottery funding, is a privilege.

:18:26.:18:29.

It's not right. And we do have to make some difficult conditions. To

:18:30.:18:35.

be honest with you the results speak for themselves. One hesitates to

:18:36.:18:38.

blow our own trumpet but you've only got to look at the medal table. We

:18:39.:18:43.

have medals in more sports than we did in London which was our home

:18:44.:18:49.

games. So it's working. Obviously he makes some valid points and table

:18:50.:18:53.

tennis clearly needs funding in the future. We are competing with China

:18:54.:18:57.

which is arguably the largest global economy and it is their national

:18:58.:19:01.

sport. To have any chance we do need funding throughout the support.

:19:02.:19:07.

Table tennis has done well at the Olympics, Team GB have done well,

:19:08.:19:09.

and that will encourage UK Sport to release funds to Team GB table

:19:10.:19:14.

tennis. So that's really encouraging. As I say, it's about

:19:15.:19:20.

how the allocation of funds is their news for the best interest of the

:19:21.:19:24.

game. As long as that is done in an open entrance Baron way I think

:19:25.:19:30.

people will connect with that. -- open and transparent way. When you

:19:31.:19:33.

see gold medals being won, there are many stories for people playing

:19:34.:19:37.

sport who have not been funded and that would make an interesting

:19:38.:19:42.

article, to not just see the gold medal, but to see the inspiration,

:19:43.:19:47.

it is heart-warming. There was a time, what's in there, When Marnie

:19:48.:19:50.

Was There kind of given out in what some people would say a very British

:19:51.:19:56.

way -- when money was given out. There's a more ruthless approach

:19:57.:19:59.

now. But we are winning more medals, so there needs to be logic to that.

:20:00.:20:06.

Yes, you look at who has received money and it is the sports that are

:20:07.:20:10.

doing well, and they have to have done well to get noticed in the

:20:11.:20:15.

first place. As hockey we did not receive much funding. We have

:20:16.:20:19.

progressed and done well to get noticed and receive funding to the

:20:20.:20:23.

point where we are able to do it full-time. Is it quite stressful

:20:24.:20:27.

waiting for the call of whether you've got funding or not? A little

:20:28.:20:31.

bit. There is a system whereby we are a squad so it's not necessarily

:20:32.:20:36.

the individual. The hockey girls took the decision that everybody

:20:37.:20:38.

receives the same amount, whether you have been in the squad ten years

:20:39.:20:43.

or are relatively new. As a group of players it was the decision of we

:20:44.:20:48.

are all in this together and we deserve the same amount. It's a

:20:49.:20:51.

tricky one to say you are waiting for your funding but ultimately as a

:20:52.:20:55.

sport we look at it, the men and women are there as a sport rather

:20:56.:20:58.

than individuals. Thank you for coming in. I will stick up for table

:20:59.:21:03.

tennis and I do hope Rod will look at table tennis favourably. He's

:21:04.:21:07.

giving you a nod, he suddenly taking it on board.

:21:08.:21:13.

The study suggesting that half of all parents let their under 14

:21:14.:21:17.

year olds drink at home - we'll have the details

:21:18.:21:19.

and we'd love to hear from you if you've got teenagers.

:21:20.:21:23.

Ian says parents should be ashamed of themselves, parents should be

:21:24.:21:30.

made accountable for their actions. Ben says encouraging drinking

:21:31.:21:32.

underage is not acceptable. The legal drink in aid should be raised

:21:33.:21:37.

to 21. Furthermore checks on shops and nightclubs selling to underage

:21:38.:21:42.

people need cracking down on. This view says I'm away to at a

:21:43.:21:45.

restaurant in the north-east and more often than not I come across

:21:46.:21:48.

parents who effectively encourage their underage children to drink. Do

:21:49.:21:53.

get in touch. A single image of a five year

:21:54.:21:55.

old Syrian child, battered, bloody and filthy after an air

:21:56.:21:58.

strike, brought the ravages of the conflict back

:21:59.:22:00.

onto the front pages this week. He was the victim of the latest

:22:01.:22:03.

fighting for control of the Syrian city of Aleppo -

:22:04.:22:05.

that's intensified as government forces try to regain control

:22:06.:22:08.

of districts lost to rebel forces. The Assad regime, backed by Russia

:22:09.:22:14.

and Iran, has continued bombarding the city,

:22:15.:22:17.

and this boy was retrieved from one The pictures were met with outrage

:22:18.:22:28.

and grief around the world. He's just one of thousands of children

:22:29.:22:30.

suffering as the violence escalates. If you see the whole video it is so

:22:31.:22:35.

painful to watch. Let's speak with Haid Haid a Syrian

:22:36.:22:39.

based in London with family Razan Saffour, whose

:22:40.:22:41.

mother is from Aleppo - she also has family currently living

:22:42.:22:45.

in the city. Those images are just absolutely

:22:46.:22:59.

heartbreaking, aren't they? Of course that is one child in a city

:23:00.:23:03.

where so many children are being targeted. It's hard for anybody to

:23:04.:23:06.

look at that but is it harder for you with that link to Aleppo? Yes,

:23:07.:23:12.

for sure. Especially that my son is still there. I have only one family

:23:13.:23:17.

member who lives in areas controlled by the regime, the rest live in

:23:18.:23:21.

areas controlled by opposition groups. On a daily basis I think of

:23:22.:23:29.

them. To see how they are doing. And I don't know whether the next call

:23:30.:23:34.

they will still be OK or not. It's just surreal, what's going on there.

:23:35.:23:40.

And no one is trying to do enough. Is there much difference in

:23:41.:23:45.

conditions between the rebel held areas and the government-controlled

:23:46.:23:50.

areas? Big, big time. The problem is that the Syrian regime is using

:23:51.:23:57.

bombs and indiscriminate weapons, and the Russians who started

:23:58.:24:02.

bombarding last September they have been intensifying their bombardments

:24:03.:24:08.

and strikes as well. So in my home town, around 30 kilometres from

:24:09.:24:13.

Aleppo, for more than three weeks now, you have between four and 30

:24:14.:24:18.

air strikes a day. And most of those air strikes, all of them, actually,

:24:19.:24:22.

I hitting civilian areas. They are hitting markets, hospitals and

:24:23.:24:29.

schools. And houses. So it is completely different when you live

:24:30.:24:33.

in areas controlled by the opposition, because they don't have

:24:34.:24:36.

air strikes. So the damage is done by mortar shelling is much less than

:24:37.:24:45.

the damage done by the air strikes. So when you talk to your family in

:24:46.:24:50.

Aleppo, is there any sense of a normal life? Do people feel safe to

:24:51.:24:54.

leave their homes and go out on the streets? Absolutely not. It's quite

:24:55.:24:57.

ironic because on one hand there's no sense as we understand it of

:24:58.:25:03.

going out, going to university, buying your groceries. For them it

:25:04.:25:10.

has become normal and that is exemplified in the image of the boy.

:25:11.:25:13.

He wasn't even crying, he was sitting there are specialist. A boy

:25:14.:25:19.

his age is the age of the Syrian war, he is five years old, that's

:25:20.:25:23.

when the Syrian war started. It just shows how this life has become very

:25:24.:25:27.

normal. People expect to die any second. I was speaking to my aunt

:25:28.:25:33.

just a few days ago. We speak to her every day. We hadn't heard from her

:25:34.:25:40.

for about three days on Wednesday. So we hadn't heard from her since

:25:41.:25:43.

Sunday. And on Wednesday we heard back from her and she told us that

:25:44.:25:50.

for the first time this year her flat was bombed by a barrel bomb

:25:51.:25:54.

filled with chlorine. She almost died. But because this has become

:25:55.:25:58.

their daily life she is very well equipped with survival techniques.

:25:59.:26:02.

Her neighbours who live in the flat underneath her diet and the people

:26:03.:26:05.

above, some of them died and some of them are in critical condition is.

:26:06.:26:12.

She is a 65-year-old woman who lives by herself. She was suffocating from

:26:13.:26:16.

chlorine gas but she managed to hide herself and cover her face with damp

:26:17.:26:22.

cloth for about two hours until the Syrian civil defence came over and

:26:23.:26:25.

were able to extract her out of the rubble. Now she's homeless. Thank

:26:26.:26:30.

God she's got friends where she can stay round their houses. But yeah,

:26:31.:26:36.

that's their daily lives. Even when she was telling us this, I was in

:26:37.:26:41.

shock. I'm half decent to, I can't cry because I hear this on a daily

:26:42.:26:45.

basis but I'm shocked because she's almost laughing like, I almost got

:26:46.:26:50.

killed again. Does she have access to food? You say she's effectively

:26:51.:26:54.

homeless, friends are supporting her, how does she get access to food

:26:55.:27:00.

and medicine? Knowing that Aleppo is under siege right now, generally all

:27:01.:27:07.

of Syria, it's very difficult to get access to food. She gets food

:27:08.:27:13.

because charities are able to come in. I'm sceptical about Russia being

:27:14.:27:24.

involved in that. Russia agree to that the same day they bombed nine

:27:25.:27:29.

hospitals. And they are the biggest killers, alongside the regime, of

:27:30.:27:32.

the Syrian people. So it's all very ironic. But they do get food.

:27:33.:27:38.

Obviously it's not as accessible but food is there. The main concern now

:27:39.:27:42.

is to stop the murder once and for all. That's the main concern for

:27:43.:27:46.

Syrians right now. They are demanding a no-fly zone, for a stop

:27:47.:27:50.

to the killing. But more they are demanding food. Of course Russia has

:27:51.:27:54.

said yesterday that it would support the idea of a 48-hour ceasefire.

:27:55.:27:58.

We've heard these kinds of conversations before. Do you have

:27:59.:28:05.

faith in that? Definitely not. Because they are the ones targeting

:28:06.:28:08.

civilians and they are the ones targeting hospitals and schools.

:28:09.:28:16.

They just say that to say that, OK, we are doing something about it. The

:28:17.:28:20.

truth is they are the ones killing those people and they are the ones

:28:21.:28:23.

not allowing food to enter those areas. Even as Rezan mentioned, the

:28:24.:28:32.

siege was broken a week ago, more than that. But now the regime are

:28:33.:28:37.

targeting this bit of land so they don't allow people to leave. And

:28:38.:28:42.

they don't allow aid in. They are the ones stopping that from taking

:28:43.:28:47.

place. And they are just giving people false promises to say. Bait

:28:48.:28:53.

as you speak to your respective families inside Aleppo, do they want

:28:54.:28:58.

to leave? And if they do, is there any realistic prospect they will be

:28:59.:29:02.

able to? I think it's quite difficult at this point to leave

:29:03.:29:04.

from Aleppo because it's not physically possible. Because they

:29:05.:29:12.

don't trust the humanitarian forces? Nobody did, and the corridors don't

:29:13.:29:16.

even exist. That's one thing. I spoke to a friend there and he told

:29:17.:29:21.

me that at least in my house I know that I can die peacefully with my

:29:22.:29:25.

family. But why would I go to a designated area to be killed by

:29:26.:29:29.

those who are killing me everywhere I go? So for sure they do not trust

:29:30.:29:34.

them. The other thing is, you want to leave out of Aleppo, to go where?

:29:35.:29:39.

Turkey closed the borders, you cannot leave Syria. To Lebanon on is

:29:40.:29:44.

almost impossible. To Jordan they closed the border as well. You have

:29:45.:29:49.

no way out of Syria. As long as you are in Syria it is the same

:29:50.:29:54.

situation. You go outside Aleppo, they are bombarding those areas as

:29:55.:29:57.

well. My hometown has 30 air strikes today. There is no safe place to go

:29:58.:30:03.

to. This is why the discussion is we need to provide those people with

:30:04.:30:11.

safe areas. Those people need protection, and we should provide

:30:12.:30:15.

them with that protection. I think there's also another aspect not

:30:16.:30:18.

discussed as much. This is their home country. They don't want to

:30:19.:30:23.

leave Syria, they want to rebuild Syria. We tend to forget, the

:30:24.:30:29.

narrative is skewed and we tend to forget how this started. It started

:30:30.:30:32.

five years ago with a revolution when people rose up asking for

:30:33.:30:35.

freedom. People want to stay in their country and rebuild, they do

:30:36.:30:41.

not want to be forced out of it, and for the bombardment to remain there

:30:42.:30:44.

and for them not to be able to live a prosperous life in the place where

:30:45.:30:48.

their grandparents lived in. So we tend to forget about that home

:30:49.:30:53.

sentiment, national sentiment. We can't just uproot people from their

:30:54.:30:56.

home and send them to another place full stop they are going to be

:30:57.:31:01.

living isolated, for the rest of their lives.

:31:02.:31:04.

There is another issue, which is solidarity. When I speak to my

:31:05.:31:13.

parents, tell them they should leave and they say, we can't afford to

:31:14.:31:18.

leave. So we are there with those people and their supper whatever

:31:19.:31:26.

they suffer. -- they suffer. Those people other neighbours and friends,

:31:27.:31:29.

they are not going to leave them there alone because believing that

:31:30.:31:32.

place doesn't change the fact of those people will die maybe tomorrow

:31:33.:31:36.

or the day after. The homes in their country are being destroyed. Thank

:31:37.:31:40.

you for joining us. With just three weeks to go till

:31:41.:31:43.

the start of the Paralympic games - we speak to Team GB's most decorated

:31:44.:31:46.

female Paralympian, Sarah Storey - she'll be telling us

:31:47.:31:49.

how she's preparing. But this comes amid fears

:31:50.:31:54.

of a ?90 million shortfall Only 12% of tickets have been sold -

:31:55.:31:57.

and there've been oversight issues - meaning some athletes may not be

:31:58.:32:01.

able to afford to get to the games. Let's get some sport. Again, more

:32:02.:32:24.

success on day 13 for Team GB but also an eighth Olympic gold medal

:32:25.:32:30.

for the in comparable Usain Bolt, the Jamaican easily winning the 200

:32:31.:32:35.

metres, he now goes in the four times 100 relay, he is aiming for an

:32:36.:32:42.

unprecedented nightclub medal on the track. 56 medals so far for Great

:32:43.:32:49.

Britain. Jade Jones retained her title in the tae kwon do, the same

:32:50.:32:53.

one she won in London four years ago. A historic 1-2 for the Bradley

:32:54.:33:00.

brothers, Alistair Brownlee beating Jenny Bramley by six seconds to

:33:01.:33:05.

become the first man to win two Olympic titles -- Jonathan Bramley.

:33:06.:33:12.

Tonight at nine p.m., Great Britain face the Netherlands in the final of

:33:13.:33:19.

the hockey. It'll be a big one for them. Plenty more spoiled coming

:33:20.:33:20.

throughout the day. -- more sport. Police in Essex say a boy who died

:33:21.:33:25.

after being attacked by a dog It happened at Halstead

:33:26.:33:29.

late yesterday. A 29-year-old woman has been

:33:30.:33:34.

arrested for allegedly allowing a dog to be dangerously

:33:35.:33:36.

out of control. The dog has been seized by police

:33:37.:33:44.

and placed in kennels. The United States Olympic Committee

:33:45.:33:48.

has apologised to the organisers of the Rio Olympics,

:33:49.:33:50.

and the people of Brazil, for the behaviour of

:33:51.:33:52.

a group of swimmers. The four, who include the gold

:33:53.:33:54.

medallist Ryan Lochte, Brazilian police say they lied

:33:55.:33:56.

to cover up an act of vandalism Latest reports say that Jimmy Fagan

:33:57.:34:01.

is to pay $11,000 to a Brazilian On this programme yesterday

:34:02.:34:06.

we heard calls for a post-Rio Olympic Games parade in Britain.

:34:07.:34:16.

Now support appears to be growing. The Mayor of London,

:34:17.:34:18.

Sadiq Khan, has said he is keen He said he was speaking

:34:19.:34:21.

to the government and Olympic and Paralympic sports chiefs to find

:34:22.:34:25.

the best way of celebrating the achievements of

:34:26.:34:28.

British competitors. If I have my way, yes,

:34:29.:34:30.

but we've got to talk to the government and the Olympic

:34:31.:34:34.

and Paralympic chiefs. They will want it, that's

:34:35.:34:36.

why I am optimistic, and what is important is we have got

:34:37.:34:38.

the Paralympics coming up, I'm excited about that as

:34:39.:34:42.

well, we celebrate our heroes returning home from Rio, Olympians

:34:43.:34:45.

and Paralympians. The 2012 Paralympic Games were a

:34:46.:35:09.

record success, a huge uptake in disability sport, but there is

:35:10.:35:10.

concern about Rio. The International Paralympic

:35:11.:35:13.

Committee has said there is ?90 million deficit

:35:14.:35:18.

in funding for the Games. Only 12% of tickets have been sold,

:35:19.:35:23.

and the funding shortfall means some athletes from smaller nations may

:35:24.:35:26.

not be able to get to the games. On top of all that the Olympic

:35:27.:35:30.

Broadcast Service has said it will only cover 13 out of the 22

:35:31.:35:32.

Paralympic sports because of a We hope to speak to Britain's most

:35:33.:35:36.

successful Paralympian of the modern era, and who is set to compete

:35:37.:35:40.

in her seventh Paralympics. Here to talk to us is Craig Spence,

:35:41.:35:43.

Director of Media and Communications at the International Paralympic

:35:44.:35:47.

Committee. Rosemary Fraser is the campaigns

:35:48.:36:02.

manager at Scope. First of all, Craig, I want to speak to you about

:36:03.:36:08.

this ?90 million that seemingly has gone missing. Where has it gone? We

:36:09.:36:14.

don't know. We have been working with the rear 2016 organising

:36:15.:36:19.

committee for seven years now, and the budget has always been there for

:36:20.:36:26.

the Paralympic Games. Two weeks ago when reopen the 16 informed us we

:36:27.:36:30.

needed to make further cuts to the services we offer, that's when the

:36:31.:36:36.

alarm bells started to ring, we have now looked into the books with the

:36:37.:36:41.

organising committee and effectively we're talking ?75 million needed,

:36:42.:36:49.

for the Games to be at the level they committed. And it's not fair,

:36:50.:36:54.

we're wondering, how can we bring in more revenue and how can we make

:36:55.:36:57.

further cuts to ensure the Games take place with the budget

:36:58.:37:03.

available. As a competitor, does this affect people's preparations

:37:04.:37:06.

for the Games when they are hearing things like, there's not enough

:37:07.:37:10.

money, some nations might turn up and we have only sold 12% of

:37:11.:37:17.

tickets? I think in my opinion, the coaching staff and the Paralympic

:37:18.:37:22.

Association is from those countries that you have mentioned, have to

:37:23.:37:28.

think logically, and they have to continue with the process of

:37:29.:37:31.

training to the best of their ability. And hopefully, that senior

:37:32.:37:39.

people within their positions will bring in that money and make sure

:37:40.:37:45.

that the facilities are there. And at the Games is going to be a

:37:46.:37:50.

fantastic spectacle for the Paralympic athletes mentioned.

:37:51.:37:55.

Craig, how realistic is it that these nations, some of the poorer

:37:56.:37:59.

nations who wait for that money to arrive in their accounts before they

:38:00.:38:02.

broke the plane tickets, how realistic is it that they may not

:38:03.:38:08.

appear, is it just scaremongering? It could happen, unfortunately. We

:38:09.:38:15.

have been committed, some money from the Mayor, and some money from the

:38:16.:38:21.

state-run companies within Brazil. However that still leaves us with a

:38:22.:38:24.

deficit, but with the money coming in, we are optimistic we can start

:38:25.:38:29.

to pay the travel grants which were due to be paid to our national

:38:30.:38:32.

Paralympic committees at the end of July. The problem is, some of the

:38:33.:38:37.

smaller countries don't buy their plane tickets to Rio until the grant

:38:38.:38:41.

drop into their bank accounts. Purchasing tickets to Rio just a

:38:42.:38:47.

matter of days before the opening ceremony would be very expensive

:38:48.:38:51.

indeed and I think it's a real threat that ten countries won't be

:38:52.:38:54.

able to afford to the Games so we are working with them and their

:38:55.:38:58.

governments to see how can bring in extra revenue for them so we can

:38:59.:39:05.

ensure that all 165 countries we want to compete other and lining up.

:39:06.:39:12.

I'm pleased to say we can connect with Dame Sarah Storey, preparing

:39:13.:39:18.

for her seventh Paralympics. I know you haven't heard all our

:39:19.:39:22.

conversations so far, we have been talking about disappointing ticket

:39:23.:39:26.

sales, this ?90 million deficit, does that damage your preparations,

:39:27.:39:32.

is it some kind of distraction? Not at all. As an athlete, you very much

:39:33.:39:37.

train to control the controller balls, things that happen outside

:39:38.:39:40.

your preparations, there's nothing you can do, and your job doesn't

:39:41.:39:45.

change you have to be able to perform to your very best in an

:39:46.:39:49.

empty room. I said this ahead of London, people said you must be

:39:50.:39:52.

excited about four houses and the woman from the crowd, I said

:39:53.:39:58.

absolutely but if it is an empty room. -- the war from the crowd. See

:39:59.:40:03.

don't think it will make a difference if there are empty

:40:04.:40:09.

stadiums? If it does, then you are distracted by the wrong think you

:40:10.:40:12.

have to focus what is happening in your lane, in your event, the crowd

:40:13.:40:18.

can make a difference, especially in a home Games but if the crowds

:40:19.:40:22.

aren't there, that's no excuse if someone would pat you on the head

:40:23.:40:26.

and say you can have a gold medal anyway because they weren't enough

:40:27.:40:29.

people cheering, is the way things are. We have been through tough

:40:30.:40:34.

things before, I know people will work hard and learn lessons from

:40:35.:40:42.

this. Are you disappointed by the situation? I was saying in the

:40:43.:40:47.

introduction that only 13 of the 22 Paralympic sport are going to be

:40:48.:40:50.

televised because of this funding deficit, that must be disappointing?

:40:51.:40:58.

Very disappointing, especially when you consider how little coverage we

:40:59.:41:01.

get in between Paralympic Games, there has been no live coverage at

:41:02.:41:08.

all since the London Games in 2012, so it's hugely disappointed, we have

:41:09.:41:13.

a long way to go from the media perspective, to provide the live

:41:14.:41:15.

feeds of people can take it up in the interim, it's the bonding at the

:41:16.:41:20.

pinnacle of our sport isn't going to be televised. We are unfortunately a

:41:21.:41:25.

little bit used to it now. You have been a huge aspiration to young

:41:26.:41:32.

people, many the cup spot after London 2012, your preparations,

:41:33.:41:37.

presumably feeling quite confident now? -- many the cup spot. I'm

:41:38.:41:46.

putting everything into every single bit of training, I'm looking forward

:41:47.:41:49.

to getting out on the start line. There's quite a lot of pressure,

:41:50.:41:55.

after what Team GB have done at the Olympics, the cycling team, there's

:41:56.:41:58.

probably a bit of expectation but we know you are used to delivering.

:41:59.:42:03.

Pressure is something someone else puts on you, you put your own

:42:04.:42:06.

pressure on yourself, it's about controlling what you can control,

:42:07.:42:10.

you have to be able to perform when you sit in that start gate, on the

:42:11.:42:13.

start line, looking along the track, whatever it is you're event you

:42:14.:42:18.

can't allow those external things to distract you so you have to focus on

:42:19.:42:22.

what you have done in training, no you are well prepared and can do the

:42:23.:42:26.

best performance you can want the race gets underway. Before I let you

:42:27.:42:32.

go, I know you have two get back to that all-important training, but

:42:33.:42:35.

what is the feeling not only amongst cycling Paralympians but the team at

:42:36.:42:41.

large? Is there a sense there are a lot of medals that can be one? Yes,

:42:42.:42:47.

preparation has been the main focus for everybody, always has been, we

:42:48.:42:53.

have been working away for weeks, months, years, to get to the start

:42:54.:42:57.

line in the best shape we can be and when we get there, as the best

:42:58.:43:00.

funded team in the world, there will be a lot of expectation and

:43:01.:43:04.

hopefully everyone has prepared enough to be able to deliver.

:43:05.:43:09.

Hopefully we will speak to you as and when you win a Paralympic medal!

:43:10.:43:16.

Award to bring in Rosemary we were talking about how well London did at

:43:17.:43:24.

engaging young people, filling stadiums, giving Paralympic sport a

:43:25.:43:27.

platform. How frustrated are you at what we are hearing? It's incredibly

:43:28.:43:32.

frustrating, thought we had cracked this. We did well at Beijing, London

:43:33.:43:36.

was tremendous and now we are hearing this. It is sad for the

:43:37.:43:41.

athletes who have trained so hard, who may not get there to compete,

:43:42.:43:44.

especially from those smaller nations. That's more important

:43:45.:43:50.

because it really helps in terms of thinking about how people view

:43:51.:43:53.

disabled people more widely in society. Unfortunately I wonder if

:43:54.:44:00.

this is what happens with disabled people, we forgotten about. I don't

:44:01.:44:05.

make any difference between watching disabled and non-disabled athletes,

:44:06.:44:11.

to me, I win is a win. So I think it's really disappointing. Is it

:44:12.:44:18.

part of this Olympic overspend, it saying, it's only the Paralympics,

:44:19.:44:24.

we can take money away? Unfortunately it feels like that, I

:44:25.:44:26.

remember people saying, isn't it nice that those liberal go and

:44:27.:44:32.

compete, like they had just decided they were going to do it the week

:44:33.:44:40.

before, people don't understand the dedication and just the sheer hard

:44:41.:44:43.

work that goes into training to compete at this level. We need to

:44:44.:44:50.

see more and more disabled people in sport, also more widely, and I think

:44:51.:44:58.

this really helps. It will help with funding, as we see with the success

:44:59.:45:05.

of the cyclists, the funding they have received, if disabled sport

:45:06.:45:11.

isn't getting that in the media, it won't flourish, younger disabled

:45:12.:45:12.

people need those role models. Mark, you were a role member to some

:45:13.:45:23.

of those younger people. As a Paralympian, you have to train

:45:24.:45:26.

harder than the Olympians? I think going back to what the lady said

:45:27.:45:31.

regarding funding, what that gives the individual or the athlete, as

:45:32.:45:37.

Sarah Storey said earlier, to focus 100% on the process. The process for

:45:38.:45:43.

an athlete, able-bodied or disabled is that they can actually focus on

:45:44.:45:48.

training for instance, 25, 28, even 30 a week. Then letting the body

:45:49.:45:54.

rest. Obviously when the body rests, that's when the magic happens. Then

:45:55.:45:59.

they can set aside any other stress that will be related to their lives,

:46:00.:46:04.

for instance. That's why certainly over the last two or three

:46:05.:46:07.

Paralympic Games, that's why Paralympics GB naturally has done so

:46:08.:46:11.

well. Because that funding has allowed the individual to train 100%

:46:12.:46:20.

of their time and focus on that goal of bringing back that gold medal

:46:21.:46:24.

from the Olympiad. Cregg, do you want to pick up on the point

:46:25.:46:28.

Rosemary made that she feels like, because its Paralympic sport, the

:46:29.:46:32.

Olympics can make a bit of their money, it doesn't matter, it's not

:46:33.:46:38.

as important? I think this is just the Rio 2016 organising committee.

:46:39.:46:42.

We saw it with Beijing, London, and we are seeing it with Tokyo, an

:46:43.:46:46.

integrated budget where they treat both games equally. The Paralympic

:46:47.:46:53.

Games has got a fantastic reputation for changing attitudes to

:46:54.:46:57.

impairment. We saw with London 2012, one in ten people in the UK changed

:46:58.:47:03.

attitudes towards people with a disability. Although we've only got

:47:04.:47:10.

13 sports being broadcast live from Rio, we will have more broadcasters

:47:11.:47:15.

than others showing pictures to 100 countries, we are expecting a TV

:47:16.:47:19.

audience of 4 million people. We believe although we have these

:47:20.:47:22.

issues with the organising committee, these games will make

:47:23.:47:25.

more impact than ever before and further cement our position for

:47:26.:47:32.

driving social inclusion. It's not all negative, there are some

:47:33.:47:34.

positives to come out of these games, to. Is there anyway you could

:47:35.:47:41.

appeal to the organisers in Rio and say, if we've only sold 12% of

:47:42.:47:45.

tickets, go up to the favelas and give out tickets, let's fill those

:47:46.:47:49.

stadiums for free so they are packed and it gives that real atmosphere?

:47:50.:47:54.

The problem we have at the moment is the cost the organising committee

:47:55.:47:57.

has this budget problem, we are having to reduce staffing levels and

:47:58.:48:01.

cap the amount of people we can get into the stadium safely. So the

:48:02.:48:05.

tickets for the Paralympics are very reasonably priced anyway. They are

:48:06.:48:11.

effectively ?2 50 for the tickets. So they are accessible. We are

:48:12.:48:16.

working on how we can bring more people into the venues. We want

:48:17.:48:20.

passionate crowds supporting the Paralympics like we saw in Beijing,

:48:21.:48:24.

like we saw in London, and like we will see in Tokyo will stop we are

:48:25.:48:28.

trying everything at the moment to ensure these games are the best they

:48:29.:48:35.

can be. Best of luck. I appreciate you taking the time to speak with

:48:36.:48:42.

us. Still to come, Usain Bolt heads for a record-breaking treble triple.

:48:43.:48:45.

He's got his eighth gold and is speaking to his ninth. We'll look at

:48:46.:48:52.

some of his best moments. And we look ahead to what we can expect

:48:53.:48:53.

from Team GB later today. A new survey of over 1,000 parents

:48:54.:48:56.

suggests more than half let their children drink before

:48:57.:48:59.

they turn 14 - and that one in three admit that they use

:49:00.:49:02.

alcohol as a bribe. It's not illegal to let a child

:49:03.:49:04.

between the ages of five and 16 drink at home -

:49:05.:49:07.

but is it right? Joining us now via web-cam

:49:08.:49:09.

is journalist Anne Atkins - the author of "Child Rearing

:49:10.:49:11.

for Fun: Trust Your Instincts and Enjoy Your Children";

:49:12.:49:17.

and Dr Martin Scurr, a GP a GP with almost 40 years'

:49:18.:49:22.

experience. Egg as a parent, would you let your

:49:23.:49:32.

children drink? Are you asking me? Yes, absolutely? Yes, we have let

:49:33.:49:38.

our children drink at home. If I give you an example, our youngest is

:49:39.:49:43.

13. She's not actually at all interested in alcohol as it happens

:49:44.:49:48.

but if we have some bubbly for some reason comes she is always offered

:49:49.:49:53.

some. She hardly ever has any but maybe two or three times a year she

:49:54.:49:57.

has a few teaspoons full of bubbly at Christmas or whatever it may be.

:49:58.:50:06.

And I think that is, well, obviously it's healthy, good funding to do,

:50:07.:50:09.

otherwise I wouldn't do it. What I do passionately believe is that the

:50:10.:50:15.

parents are the people to judge this kind of thing. Of course it is

:50:16.:50:18.

alarming to think of parents giving alcohol as a bride but that could

:50:19.:50:21.

mean all sorts of things. It could mean you've passed during sums,

:50:22.:50:25.

let's open a bottle of per second. It very much depends how the

:50:26.:50:31.

question was asked. But we have to acknowledge is that blues is a huge

:50:32.:50:36.

problem in our society now. Not just amongst teenagers and young people,

:50:37.:50:40.

but middle-aged, middle-class, all sorts of us are drinking too much

:50:41.:50:43.

and we do have to take that on board. But I do think the law is

:50:44.:50:49.

right on this. And I don't think this is necessarily cause for alarm.

:50:50.:50:55.

Let's bring Martin in and get a GP perspective on this. What do you

:50:56.:50:59.

make of this? I think views have changed in recent times. Modern

:51:00.:51:05.

neuroscience has taught us that the brain is very vulnerable in young

:51:06.:51:10.

teenagers. In the past I would have let my children drink but I've

:51:11.:51:13.

changed my tune on this because we now know that neural connections are

:51:14.:51:19.

being made in the brain in the 11, 12, 13-year-old group, and these are

:51:20.:51:21.

vulnerable and can easily be damaged. And so I really feel that

:51:22.:51:27.

we are beginning to gain some better object of understanding of the

:51:28.:51:31.

potential harm that can come from it. And although I respect Hannah's

:51:32.:51:36.

reviews and I share her view that parents have to decide, I think we

:51:37.:51:41.

now need to adhere to the advice of the Chief Medical Officer and

:51:42.:51:44.

restrict alcohol to children over 16, and be very careful with younger

:51:45.:51:49.

children. Even though there is perhaps a case made for teaching

:51:50.:51:53.

them a little bit about caution and being careful about those sorts of

:51:54.:51:59.

experiences. We had a couple of comments coming in that I want to

:52:00.:52:03.

put to you. Robin sent an e-mail saying children on the continent

:52:04.:52:06.

have a glass of wine with a meal at the same time as their parents, this

:52:07.:52:10.

has been the norm for hundreds of years and nothing terrible has

:52:11.:52:15.

happened to them? I understand that, culturally, particularly on the

:52:16.:52:18.

continent, small amounts of wine they looted with water have always

:52:19.:52:23.

been a social phenomenon. -- diluted with. Now we know that some children

:52:24.:52:29.

are more vulnerable than others and that addiction is a potential

:52:30.:52:34.

problem of anyone exposed to alcohol or any other drug that is active in

:52:35.:52:39.

the brain, and alcohol is the most ubiquitous and most commonly used

:52:40.:52:42.

drug that affects the brain in teenagers. Now we know that I think

:52:43.:52:46.

we have to respond with greater caution and not just take a note out

:52:47.:52:52.

of past history here. Let me read this comment to you, I'm sure you'll

:52:53.:52:56.

agree. Richard my upbringing around alcohol was liberal and I've seen

:52:57.:53:00.

photos of myself sipping drinks at a very young age. It was felt

:53:01.:53:03.

demystifying the subject would allow me to have a more relaxed and

:53:04.:53:07.

responsible attitude towards drink and I guess it must have worked

:53:08.:53:10.

because as an adult I've never felt the need to go out and drink as much

:53:11.:53:14.

as possible in one night and I don't drink often these days, I can just

:53:15.:53:19.

take it or leave it. Do you equally take on board what Martin is saying

:53:20.:53:21.

about the dangers of young children drinking? Yes, very much, and he

:53:22.:53:27.

knows far more about this than I do. And yes it's very interesting and

:53:28.:53:31.

important knowledge. And of course we must make that information

:53:32.:53:35.

available to people. And I take it very seriously indeed. Because he is

:53:36.:53:40.

the expert here and I am not. I think what I would say is that when

:53:41.:53:44.

we overreact to things, and I'm not for a moment saying that Martin is

:53:45.:53:47.

overreacting, I don't think it's necessarily helpful. And I think I

:53:48.:53:54.

found as a young teenager, I mean my father always had a glass of sherry

:53:55.:53:58.

before supper and I was never offered any and I think I grew up

:53:59.:54:01.

with this mystique about alcohol which made it difficult for me. It

:54:02.:54:05.

made it difficult for me to turn it down when I go to university,

:54:06.:54:08.

whereas I didn't have any difficulty turning down fattening foods or

:54:09.:54:12.

anything like that. That's only an anecdote of one, and I have not

:54:13.:54:18.

become an alcoholic. So I think all sorts of approaches can be

:54:19.:54:21.

appropriate. For instance it's interesting that now it's very much

:54:22.:54:26.

frowned upon for pregnant women to have any alcohol. And my

:54:27.:54:29.

understanding is that there is no medical evidence that says pregnant

:54:30.:54:33.

women shouldn't have a glass of wine on the weekend. But we seem to have

:54:34.:54:38.

gone a bit extreme because of the abuses that there are, and those

:54:39.:54:41.

abuses are very real and very horrible. Going to many towns on a

:54:42.:54:46.

Friday night and it is disgusting. Let's get Martin to respond to that

:54:47.:54:49.

point just about pregnant women, I think it is important we clarify

:54:50.:54:54.

that? I think that the current regulation which is that pregnant

:54:55.:54:59.

women shouldn't trick at all has to be adhered to. Because different

:55:00.:55:02.

people have different susceptibilities. And although the

:55:03.:55:05.

feet of alcohol syndrome is recognised as being a feature of

:55:06.:55:10.

large amounts of alcohol, the view medically now is that the only way

:55:11.:55:15.

forward is none. Because levels change, people change their

:55:16.:55:19.

attitudes, and it's far better to just say do not drink at all. I

:55:20.:55:23.

really think we should adhere to that with pregnant women. Those tiny

:55:24.:55:28.

newborn babies that are still in the womb, an born baby still in the

:55:29.:55:33.

womb, may be highly susceptible. We just don't know. There have not been

:55:34.:55:35.

enough studies to tell us whether there is harm from even quite small

:55:36.:55:40.

amounts of alcohol. So better to play it safe. Thank you both for

:55:41.:55:43.

joining us. I appreciate you speaking to us today.

:55:44.:55:46.

Now - who says presenting by a beautiful beach in Rio is easy?

:55:47.:55:50.

Last night one of BBC's Olympic presenters Dan Walker was giving

:55:51.:55:53.

a round up of the day's sporting action when people on social media

:55:54.:55:56.

asked him what was going on in the background.

:55:57.:56:00.

For those asking what's going on in the background, we will not zoom in,

:56:01.:56:06.

but rest assured it's not bad. It's just a hug. There are reading a

:56:07.:56:10.

book. Apparently they are reading a book. They are reading a book in a

:56:11.:56:15.

strange pose, OK? It's merely a book. We will find out what the book

:56:16.:56:22.

is, maybe, a little bit later on. Bless him, sound terrified.

:56:23.:56:25.

This isn't the first time Dan has been interrupted -

:56:26.:56:27.

Last week it was by a Brazilian hen party live on air.

:56:28.:56:31.

So much live athletics on the way on BBC One. Let's see what's going on

:56:32.:56:38.

over here, it seems like a hen do. There they go. A Brazilian hen

:56:39.:56:45.

party. They are clearly enjoying themselves. They seem to be all tied

:56:46.:56:52.

together as well. Magnificent scenes. Maybe that's how you do it

:56:53.:56:53.

in Brazil. Now Team GB success is set

:56:54.:56:59.

to continue with yet more medals already guaranteed

:57:00.:57:02.

in hockey and boxing. The question is what

:57:03.:57:04.

colour they'll be. Mike Bushell can tell us

:57:05.:57:05.

what to look out for. Usain Bolt has already won gold

:57:06.:57:10.

in the 100 metres and 200 metres, but can he help Team

:57:11.:57:13.

Jamaica to the top spot That would secure him the incredible
