The stars of the British Olympic and Paralympic teams get ready to

:00:12.:00:19.

take part in a victory parade. This is the scene live as thousands

:00:19.:00:24.

gather to celebrate the success of the British teams. I think it's

:00:24.:00:28.

given the country a tremendous lift. I think it's brought the country

:00:28.:00:32.

together. I think it's given us memories that we will be talking

:00:32.:00:41.

about for years and generations to come. Other news, the bomb squad

:00:41.:00:46.

are called in as a cordon is extended around the Surrey home of

:00:46.:00:49.

the couple shot dead in France. And union bosses threaten

:00:49.:00:51.

coordinated mass strikes and civil disobedience, unless the Government

:00:51.:00:58.

changes course. Later on BBC London: One last celebration after

:00:58.:01:01.

the triumphant summer of sport. Londoners gather to hail the most

:01:01.:01:11.
:01:11.:01:30.

successful Olympic and Paralympic Good afternoon and welcome to the

:01:30.:01:36.

BBC News at One. Tens of thousands of people are lining the streets of

:01:36.:01:39.

Central London to celebrate Britain's Olympic and Paralympic

:01:39.:01:43.

athletes, who are taking part in a victory parade beginning in just

:01:43.:01:50.

under half an hour. 21 open-top floats with around 750 athletes on

:01:50.:01:54.

board will make their way through the capital arriving in front of

:01:54.:02:00.

Buckingham Palace. The Mayor of London has promised a glorious

:02:00.:02:04.

Miasma of colour noise and excitement.

:02:04.:02:08.

Let's tell you where the route goes. It sets off from mansion House in

:02:08.:02:12.

the City of London just after 1.30pm. Members of the public can

:02:12.:02:16.

watch the floats as they pass St Paul's Cathedral, along Fleet

:02:16.:02:20.

Street and into the Strand before reaching Trafalgar Square. A big

:02:20.:02:26.

screen will be put at the base of Nelson's Column. It will broadcast

:02:26.:02:31.

the parade live. The route then moves down the Mall. That part is

:02:31.:02:34.

reserved for volunteers, emergency services and those who helped with

:02:34.:02:38.

the Games. It ends here with a fly past over Buckingham Palace. Let's

:02:38.:02:41.

go to the start of the route, as the athletes and organisers prepare,

:02:41.:02:47.

and join our correspondent, James Pearce. It's fantastic to be

:02:47.:02:51.

standing here at the start. The atmosphere has been building since

:02:51.:02:54.

early morning, people coming out to cheer. Can you see already the

:02:54.:02:58.

floats now starting to go into place. That's the cycling float you

:02:58.:03:02.

can see in front. Plenty of gold medals on that. The athletes have

:03:02.:03:06.

been divided up by sports. Can you see the size of the crowds already,

:03:06.:03:10.

just at the start, lining the route. We're expecting about a million

:03:10.:03:19.

people to cheer on these athletes. The hard work is done, now is the

:03:19.:03:22.

time to have some fun, to celebrate the achievements of our athletes,

:03:23.:03:26.

during a summer, the like of which we've never seen before and few of

:03:26.:03:32.

us are likely to live to see again. The Olympians and Paralympians have

:03:32.:03:36.

been arriving all morning. This is their day, a chance for the rest of

:03:36.:03:40.

us to say well done and thank you. It's an opportunity for the

:03:40.:03:44.

athletes to thank the public. This isn't really for us, it's for them.

:03:44.:03:48.

They've made the Games. They've created the atmosphere, supported

:03:48.:03:52.

the athletes and not just in the venues, out in the streets, in the

:03:52.:03:56.

pubs, at the public venues. It's been incredible. It's our chance to

:03:57.:04:00.

wave and thank them for the support. There was doubt whether we would

:04:00.:04:04.

perform and have this amazing Olympics that we'd talked about. We

:04:04.:04:08.

delivered on all levels. As athletes we can see children are

:04:08.:04:13.

inspired. I get a lot of letters and cards from children around the

:04:13.:04:18.

country. I know the others do as well. It all came to an end last

:04:18.:04:26.

night, the closing Sir Moany of the Paralympics. Coldplay provided the

:04:26.:04:29.

soundtrack. The man who made it happen had the opportunity to sum

:04:29.:04:34.

up the past month -and-a-half. There are some famous words you can

:04:34.:04:39.

find stamped on the bottom of a product, words that when you read

:04:39.:04:48.

them you know mean high quality, mean skill, mean creatist --

:04:48.:04:52.

creativity. We scam ped those words on the Olympic and Paralympic Games

:04:52.:04:56.

of London 2012. London 2012, made in Britain.

:04:56.:05:01.

CHEERING The athletes have been on quite a

:05:01.:05:05.

journey offer the past months. This afternoon they have just two-and-a-

:05:05.:05:10.

half miles to go, but they'll savour every minute. These are

:05:10.:05:13.

memories that need to last a lifetime.

:05:13.:05:17.

All the crowds here have got their favourites, people they've come to

:05:17.:05:23.

see. Alongside me now anyone who follows triathlon will want to get

:05:23.:05:28.

a photo. Alastair and Johnny Brownlee. What does it feel to be

:05:28.:05:32.

at the start? You can get a brief look at the crowds but there are

:05:32.:05:36.

bigger crowds to come. We keep getting shocked. How many people

:05:36.:05:40.

turn up and how many people shout at us. That will continue today.

:05:40.:05:44.

Already we've seen a bit of it. Even walking here from the train

:05:44.:05:50.

station it's been busy. We'll see how it goes. This is what makes it

:05:50.:05:54.

all worthwhile. Yeah it is special to see all these people come out

:05:54.:05:57.

and support us. The Olympics was a great few weeks for everyone

:05:57.:06:01.

involved in sport to. Experience that again is even better. During

:06:01.:06:05.

the race we couldn't take it in. We were working so hard and focused on

:06:05.:06:09.

the race to. Come here and people chanting our names is pretty

:06:09.:06:12.

special. Has anything changed since the Olympics? You're better known

:06:13.:06:16.

now than even two months ago. a lot has changed. We get

:06:16.:06:22.

recognised a lot more. We can't do anything wrong. When I go out

:06:22.:06:26.

running, we get shouted at. When we're cycling people beep us in

:06:26.:06:30.

cars. At restaurants people want photos. That's changed completely.

:06:30.:06:36.

That never happened before for a tri athlete. When we're at home, we

:06:36.:06:39.

could the same training we have done before, it is normal in that

:06:39.:06:45.

way. Thank you so much. Enjoit parade. -- enjoy the parade.

:06:45.:06:49.

Everyone's clapping, cheering. As every athlete comes out they get a

:06:49.:06:52.

round of applause. More of this through the afternoon.

:06:52.:06:59.

James, thank you. We will be returning to the London 2012 parade

:06:59.:07:03.

later in the programme. Other news first.

:07:03.:07:06.

Army bomb disposal officers have spent the morning at the home in

:07:06.:07:09.

Surrey of a British couple, shot dead in France last Wednesday.

:07:09.:07:14.

People living near the house in Claygate have had to move out while

:07:14.:07:16.

the search continues. Our correspondent Keith Doyle is there.

:07:16.:07:23.

What's happening? Yes, well a dramatic morning here in Claygate.

:07:24.:07:28.

Day three of the search of the al- Hilli home. Pretty early on this

:07:28.:07:31.

morning the police suddenly quickly and dramatically said there was a

:07:31.:07:36.

cordon. They moved the media away. They evacuated some of the

:07:36.:07:39.

surrounding homes. The neighbour has to come on the street, move

:07:39.:07:44.

away from their homes. Then the bomb disposal team from the Royal

:07:44.:07:47.

Logistic Corps arrived. They were here for a couple of hours. We

:07:47.:07:52.

understanding they were focused on an outbuilding, a work shop at the

:07:52.:07:56.

back of the home. They apparently looked at something in there. The

:07:56.:08:00.

police said due to our concerns about the items found at the home

:08:00.:08:04.

the police have evacuated neighbours. They said they were

:08:04.:08:07.

looking for a potentially explosive substance. Obviously they

:08:08.:08:10.

discovered that was not an immediate threat. They have moved

:08:10.:08:14.

off. In other developments, reports are coming from France saying that

:08:14.:08:17.

part of this investigation, the police have discovered that all the

:08:17.:08:20.

bullets fired last Wednesday killing the al-Hilli family came

:08:20.:08:24.

from the one weapon. A significant development on the investigation

:08:24.:08:27.

there, as the investigation continues here.

:08:27.:08:34.

Thank you. Union leaders have threatened the

:08:34.:08:39.

Government with mass strike action and civil disobedience unless it

:08:39.:08:45.

abandons austerity measures. This morning the TUC voted in favour of

:08:45.:08:48.

coordinated industrial action if public sector pay talks break down.

:08:48.:08:52.

From Brighton, here's our industry correspondent, John Moylan.

:08:52.:08:57.

# For the union makes us strong # . The past year has seen a surge in

:08:57.:09:01.

unrest. There are signs of more to come. The TUC is planning a huge

:09:01.:09:05.

demonstration next month against austerity. But one by one, union

:09:05.:09:08.

leaders lined up to say that campaign had to go further. The way

:09:08.:09:12.

to really shock the Government is to follow up the demonstration on

:09:12.:09:18.

October 20th as quickly as we can with mass coordinated strike action.

:09:18.:09:25.

Make that demonstration a catalyst of a mighty campaign of protest,

:09:25.:09:29.

direct action, civil disobedience and strike action. Trade unions

:09:29.:09:31.

believe that they're a force for good in the economy and

:09:31.:09:35.

particularly in the work place. But even as they meet, the Government

:09:35.:09:38.

has been announcing plans to shake up regulations which are designed

:09:38.:09:46.

to keep us safe at work. The plans announced today will see up to

:09:46.:09:50.

3,000 regulations overhauled or scrapped. Hundreds of thousands of

:09:50.:09:53.

smaller businesses will be exempt from health and safety skpections.

:09:53.:09:56.

Rules for claiming compensation against companies will be toughened

:09:56.:10:01.

up. We have the economy now lifting itself out of recession. We need to

:10:01.:10:04.

do everything we can to support business to create the jobs of the

:10:05.:10:09.

future. But unions see no sign of the economy turning around. In his

:10:09.:10:13.

last speech to congress as leader of the TU cufr, Brendan Barber

:10:13.:10:16.

launched a scathing attack on the Government's handling of the

:10:16.:10:20.

economy. It's time for change The Bells O Peover Government strategy

:10:20.:10:26.

is failing Britain. The economy is on its -- the -- it's time for

:10:26.:10:29.

change. The Government strategy is failing Britain. The economy is on

:10:29.:10:37.

its knees. This remarkable summer of cooperation and unity now looks

:10:37.:10:45.

set to be replaced by division and strife.

:10:45.:10:50.

That's the news this lunch time. Let's return to the parade of the

:10:50.:10:54.

Olympic and Paralympic athletes. The event also recognises the

:10:54.:10:57.

contribution of all the volunteers, or Games Makers. Our correspondent

:10:57.:11:04.

Robert Hall has been meeting some of them. He's in Trafalgar Square.

:11:04.:11:09.

Yes indeed. Plenty of those purple and red uniforms amongst the crowd.

:11:09.:11:12.

They're still arriving. Some people have followed this festival since

:11:12.:11:16.

the flame first arrived back in May. Some of them were lucky enough to

:11:16.:11:20.

watch the closing act last night. No-one wants to miss the tur kin --

and self-confidence. I didn't used to be so outgoing with people and

:11:42.:11:45.

chaty. It's made me more of a confident person. It's really a

:11:45.:11:50.

great experience to be part of, just especially seeing as it's in

:11:50.:11:54.

the home kuntri. -- country. It's been great. Dan and his colleagues

:11:54.:11:59.

were left in no doubt of public opinion. Last night at plauz in the

:11:59.:12:03.

stadium thundered across East London. Today the Prime Minister

:12:03.:12:07.

echoed that. What a golden summer for our country. It's given the

:12:07.:12:12.

country a lift. It's brought the country together. I think it's

:12:12.:12:16.

given us memories that we will be talking about for years and

:12:16.:12:20.

generations to come. Along the parade route, early arrivals were

:12:20.:12:23.

staking their positions. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened

:12:23.:12:29.

in Britain, for me. I'll never see it again in my lifetime. I think

:12:29.:12:34.

it's been brilliant for the children, because she's already

:12:34.:12:40.

saying "When I win a Gold Medal..." It's lifted everyone's spirits.

:12:40.:12:44.

Around the parade Dan and his fellow Games Makers were asembling

:12:44.:12:50.

for what may be their last great reunion, time to reflect on a game-

:12:50.:12:55.

changing summer. It's fantastic, but it's sad to be at the end of it.

:12:55.:12:59.

No better excuse for a party within a party.

:12:59.:13:03.

Well, you know what, what's struck me about this is the way which

:13:03.:13:08.

we've all been drawn in. Tomorrow perhaps a return to reality. This

:13:08.:13:13.

perhaps also is the end of that perfect sporting summer.

:13:13.:13:20.

Thank you very much. It's been an ma -- amazing summer

:13:20.:13:26.

for Team GB. Let's see what it's been like for two of the stars,

:13:26.:13:31.

Sarah Storey and Ed Clancy who won gold in the Olympic cycling team

:13:31.:13:35.

pursuit and bronze in the Omnium. COMMENTATOR: What a ride this is!

:13:35.:13:41.

The crowd are going ballistic. reception from everyone, not just

:13:41.:13:44.

close friends and family, cyclists, the whole of GB, the home Olympics

:13:44.:13:49.

just went down so well, you know. People who no interest for Olympic

:13:49.:13:53.

sport before are mad for it. It's great that I can make a living out

:13:53.:13:57.

of riding my bike, even if I was rubbish, I'd still try to scrape a

:13:57.:14:02.

living. The fact that we've had that opportunity of a home Olympics,

:14:02.:14:05.

I guess, perhaps at peak of my career, is something that's not

:14:05.:14:09.

going to happen again. I'm just grateful that we had the

:14:09.:14:13.

opportunity and we capitalised on COMMENTATOR: She's coming into the

:14:13.:14:19.

straight. Very much mission accomplished. We wondered if it was

:14:19.:14:24.

possible 500 metres up to the road race. Darren Denny did it in

:14:24.:14:27.

Beijing. I knew it was possible, four golds in seven days, so

:14:27.:14:34.

chuffed. The velodrome was so noisy. Being able to have friends and

:14:34.:14:37.

family and people who have always watched on TV and not been able to

:14:37.:14:42.

be there and to have them at the stadium and Brands Hatch was superb.

:14:42.:14:45.

I hope we carry momentum into the future and the next generation

:14:45.:14:49.

carry that on and pass that down to their kids. I'm honoured to have

:14:50.:14:54.

competed for my country. This is my sixth Games. I still feel like a

:14:54.:14:58.

14-year-old inside. Every time that we've seen a medal won, seen a

:14:58.:15:01.

medal lost, it's been about sport, not disability or impairment.

:15:02.:15:05.

That's the most fantastic thing. Hopefully the wider public have

:15:05.:15:08.

been, have embraced the Games and had their inspiration taken from

:15:08.:15:11.

that as well as our Olympic colleagues as well. It's been that

:15:12.:15:21.

fantastic six weeks of sport that Sarah Storey and Ed Clancy. There a

:15:21.:15:25.

special programme that will bring you the parade in full. It starts

:15:25.:15:30.

just before 1.30 on BBC One. Now let's get a look at the weather. A

:15:30.:15:36.

few clouds are over Buckingham Palace, what is it going to be like,

:15:36.:15:38.

Palace, what is it going to be like, Sarah? There will be bright spells,

:15:38.:15:43.

although we can not rule out a light passing shower, it will be

:15:43.:15:48.

mainly dry. Warm, but not as warm as the weekend.

:15:48.:15:54.

This week the temperatures are dipping down to average, about 20

:15:54.:15:58.

Celsius. For this afternoon for most of us, a fairly cloudy and a

:15:58.:16:02.

bit of a breezy afternoon. We have wet weather across the north and

:16:02.:16:05.

western areas for Northern Ireland and Scotland to the far north-west

:16:05.:16:12.

of the UK. Some sunshine, but feeling chilly at 12 Celsius. The

:16:12.:16:17.

rain lingering in the south and central parts and to the east of

:16:17.:16:23.

the Pennines a little brighter, sunshine breaking through. Wet

:16:23.:16:27.

weather rolling into northern parts of Wales. Cloudy and rain for the

:16:27.:16:30.

south-west, but into the Midlands, the south-east, the breeze breaking

:16:30.:16:35.

up the cloud. The temperatures up to 20 Celsius in London. Through

:16:35.:16:38.

the evening, the next batch of wet weather sweeping in from the

:16:39.:16:44.

channel, that is joined by a cold front to head to the south and the

:16:44.:16:47.

east. Then cooler air sweeping in. Tomorrow a mix of sunshine and

:16:47.:16:51.

showers. This week it is more autumnal, but

:16:51.:16:54.
