The greatest show on Earth - the 2016 Olympics are about to get

:00:00.:00:00.

under way in Brazil, but is Rio ready?

:00:07.:00:10.

The Olympic torch is paraded around Rio's most iconic sites before

:00:11.:00:12.

I love the British humour and they used it quite well.

:00:13.:00:26.

But if London was smart, we're going to be cool.

:00:27.:00:32.

As the carnival capital of the world prepares to party,

:00:33.:00:34.

one of Team GB's stars says he's excited about the competition ahead.

:00:35.:00:40.

Here, it's a little bit, like, less formal, but it makes it fun too.

:00:41.:00:46.

Big losses for Royal Bank of Scotland,

:00:47.:00:50.

more than ?2 billion in the first half of this year.

:00:51.:00:56.

The deadly results of a new wave of criminality -

:00:57.:00:58.

making super-strength cannabis using highly flammable gas.

:00:59.:01:03.

And the biggest travelling arts festival in Europe

:01:04.:01:05.

gets underway in Wales - the Eisteddfod, celebrating

:01:06.:01:07.

Coming up in Olympic Sportsday on BBC News:

:01:08.:01:15.

As the Olympic torch arrives in Rio De Janeiro,

:01:16.:01:17.

we'll have the latest from Brazil ahead of tonight's opening ceremony.

:01:18.:01:42.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:43.:01:45.

The biggest sporting event in the world is about to get

:01:46.:01:47.

The opening ceremony for the 2016 Olympics is being held

:01:48.:01:51.

More than 10,000 athletes from 206 countries will be taking part

:01:52.:01:56.

But organisers say more than a million tickets remain unsold.

:01:57.:02:03.

With the country facing a political and economic crisis,

:02:04.:02:05.

Wyre Davies asks if Rio is ready for the Olympics.

:02:06.:02:17.

The scene of many great moments in sporting history, and seven years

:02:18.:02:25.

after Brazil was awarded the Olympic Games, all eyes will tonight be on

:02:26.:02:30.

the Marikana. Rio will draw heavily on its history of Carnival and

:02:31.:02:35.

diversity, putting on a spectacle costing a fraction of London's

:02:36.:02:40.

extravaganza four years ago. Rehearsals, inspirational, says one

:02:41.:02:44.

British resident of the city taking part in the show. Brazilian friends

:02:45.:02:51.

of mine came away very emotional. Considering the limited budget, the

:02:52.:02:55.

feedback has also been that the lights and everything else they have

:02:56.:02:59.

used to their advantage have made the show, live. In a working-class

:03:00.:03:05.

district of Rio, plenty of local pride, as the Olympic torch arrived

:03:06.:03:08.

after a marathon journey across Brazil.

:03:09.:03:14.

TRANSLATION: It's a huge incentive for young and old alike. We are

:03:15.:03:19.

excited and competent for this Games in Brazil. Public support for the

:03:20.:03:24.

Games has sometimes felt patchy. In areas where there has been little

:03:25.:03:29.

investment, they ask, who are the Olympics for? But as the opening

:03:30.:03:33.

ceremony approaches, there has been plenty of enthusiasm, some protest

:03:34.:03:38.

and a lot of security. 85,000 troops have been deployed on the streets.

:03:39.:03:44.

Health, health, shouts one protester, amid real anger at the

:03:45.:03:47.

billions being spent staging the Olympics when Rio has arguably more

:03:48.:03:55.

pressing priorities. This is a city undoubtably transformed by the

:03:56.:04:00.

Games. Some new infrastructure and the regeneration of previously no-go

:04:01.:04:04.

areas. But there have been missed opportunities, too. Chronic levels

:04:05.:04:08.

of water pollution and a city with still high levels of inequality. The

:04:09.:04:13.

Olympic Games is perhaps not providing as much momentum for

:04:14.:04:14.

change as had been promised. It's the first time the Olympics has

:04:15.:04:18.

been held in South America. More than 500,000 spectators

:04:19.:04:21.

are expected to descend on Rio And as the city makes its final

:04:22.:04:23.

preparations, the stage is set for quite a spectacle,

:04:24.:04:27.

as Natalie Pirks reports. Ask anyone to describe Rio and this

:04:28.:04:44.

would be right up there. Sun, surfing and the seemingly

:04:45.:04:50.

never-ending sand. But now the marvellous city is staging their

:04:51.:04:55.

biggest ever party. The action will be spread over four main areas, with

:04:56.:04:59.

much of the competition taking place at the newly built Olympic Park.

:05:00.:05:05.

This will be the heart of the games. Half a million spectators here to

:05:06.:05:08.

see the likes of the swimmers in a magnificent summing pool. There will

:05:09.:05:13.

be handball, fencing, gymnastics, and the track cyclists will call the

:05:14.:05:17.

velodrome their home, only completed six weeks ago. You also have the

:05:18.:05:21.

tennis arena, where Andy Murray will attempt to defend his title. Many of

:05:22.:05:26.

Team GB's athletes have a ready trained in the venues, with the

:05:27.:05:30.

divers getting a taste of the outdoors in the arena. Tom Daley

:05:31.:05:34.

believes Rio will deliver a more laid-back Games than London. These

:05:35.:05:41.

Games will be so much fun. London was quite formal. It was spectacular

:05:42.:05:46.

and amazing. This is a little less formal, but it makes it fun, too.

:05:47.:05:50.

Not everything is so serious and regimented. I think people coming to

:05:51.:05:58.

these Games will have a blast. A record number of 206 countries will

:05:59.:06:02.

compete in a record number of events here in Rio. In total, more than

:06:03.:06:09.

11,000 athletes will compete in 300 and events, across 28 different

:06:10.:06:14.

sports. Few venues will surpass the beauty of the rowing and canoeing

:06:15.:06:19.

sprints, taking place on a stunning lake virtually in the centre of Rio.

:06:20.:06:25.

The same could be said of another iconic area, the Copacabana, where

:06:26.:06:29.

you will find the likes of the triathlon, open water swimming and

:06:30.:06:33.

where else for the beach volleyball? Inside the venues, there are some

:06:34.:06:37.

major stories waiting to unfold. Usain Bolt will attempt to become

:06:38.:06:40.

the first man in history to win three sprint old medals at three

:06:41.:06:45.

consecutive Games. Simone Biles is expected to light up the gymnastics

:06:46.:06:51.

arena, and the most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael

:06:52.:06:54.

Phelps, will be looking for a remarkable 23rd Olympic medal in the

:06:55.:07:00.

pool. Rio is made for the Olympics. It is a wonderful setting. We have

:07:01.:07:05.

amazing fields of play for the athletes, a beautiful setting, warm

:07:06.:07:08.

people very excited to have the Olympics, welcome to the first Games

:07:09.:07:14.

in South America. The city will provide a breathtaking backdrop and

:07:15.:07:16.

the scene is set for the action to begin.

:07:17.:07:18.

Our sports editor Dan Roan is at Rio's Maracana Stadium

:07:19.:07:21.

where the opening ceremony is being staged tonight.

:07:22.:07:23.

Dan, it's called the greatest show on Earth, but can Rio pull it off?

:07:24.:07:32.

This may not be quite as efficient a Games as London 2012, but having

:07:33.:07:40.

said that, as we saw, it does have one big natural advantage. It will

:07:41.:07:45.

look absolutely stunning. No city can match its backdrop. But the

:07:46.:07:50.

build-up to Rio 2016 has been amongst the most challenging any

:07:51.:07:56.

Games has seen. Political upheaval, economic recession, concerns over

:07:57.:07:59.

the Zika virus, crime and pollution, one of the worst doping scandals

:08:00.:08:04.

sport has seen in recent years, and in the last few minutes, the

:08:05.:08:11.

football legend, Pele, has dropped out. He was expected to be the man

:08:12.:08:15.

to light the Olympic cauldron. He has dropped out because of health

:08:16.:08:17.

issues. Having said that, if tonight can pass off well, and this is the

:08:18.:08:20.

pinnacle for 10,000 athletes who will be here after years of

:08:21.:08:24.

training, this opening ceremony, watched by around 3 billion people

:08:25.:08:27.

around the world on television, it will be a huge relief to organisers,

:08:28.:08:32.

who will hope that the focus now shifts towards the sport instead of

:08:33.:08:37.

controversy. If some of the names from that previous package provides

:08:38.:08:40.

some inspirational performances, many of those problems may well be

:08:41.:08:45.

forgotten. This has already been a spectacular summer of sport with

:08:46.:08:48.

Chris Froome winning the Tour de France and Andy Murray triumphing at

:08:49.:08:53.

Wimbledon. Wales reached the semifinals of the European

:08:54.:08:56.

Championships as well, but nothing perhaps can beat the Olympic Games,

:08:57.:09:00.

which has the potential to inspire and surpass every sporting event.

:09:01.:09:03.

And you won't miss a moment of the Rio Games with the BBC.

:09:04.:09:06.

We'll bring you live coverage on TV, radio and online, as well as

:09:10.:09:19.

Royal Bank of Scotland - which is largely owned

:09:20.:09:21.

by the taxpayer - has announced losses of more than ?2 billion

:09:22.:09:24.

Its chief executive said the bank was still addressing

:09:25.:09:27.

"legacy issues", including settling PPI claims.

:09:28.:09:29.

Today's figures mean the bank's total losses have topped

:09:30.:09:31.

?50 billion since the financial crisis in 2008.

:09:32.:09:34.

We've all got a past, but RBS's is more painful than most.

:09:35.:09:44.

As much as it tries to get on with its life, it

:09:45.:09:47.

continues to be haunted by the events of eight years ago.

:09:48.:09:50.

Tonight at 10pm, all change for the British banking system,

:09:51.:09:53.

and the taxpayer foots the massive bill.

:09:54.:09:55.

The Royal Bank of Scotland is being effectively nationalised.

:09:56.:10:02.

It's a frustrating case of one step forward and two steps back

:10:03.:10:04.

The first thing is, this is a magnificent business.

:10:05.:10:11.

Each quarter it makes about ?1 billion of profit before tax.

:10:12.:10:13.

And then year-on-year we get hit by legacy issues.

:10:14.:10:17.

I think what's been surprising is that they keep coming, but these

:10:18.:10:20.

We are trying to deal with as many this year which ever

:10:21.:10:25.

And that's exactly how this year has panned out.

:10:26.:10:30.

Wiping out any profits were 700 million for litigation

:10:31.:10:32.

costs going right back to 2008, 630 million in selling

:10:33.:10:37.

old stuff at a loss, and another 450 million

:10:38.:10:40.

for the mis-selling of payment protection insurance.

:10:41.:10:44.

All that contributed to a loss of ?2 billion

:10:45.:10:46.

You know, I stood in this very spot in 2008 when RBS had made

:10:47.:10:53.

the biggest loss in British corporate history, received

:10:54.:10:55.

Every year since then, RBS has lost money.

:10:56.:11:00.

I didn't expect to be here eight years later saying the total

:11:01.:11:03.

of those losses now exceeds ?50 billion, more money

:11:04.:11:05.

And the value of the shares we got for that stake are now worth less

:11:06.:11:13.

And RBS may find reporters outside for years to come.

:11:14.:11:19.

RBS is doing a lot of the right things with its business model.

:11:20.:11:25.

It is expanding, it's doing that in a competitive environment.

:11:26.:11:28.

But it's got its history to deal with and it's just not going away.

:11:29.:11:34.

And the biggest thing out there is the settlement about US

:11:35.:11:40.

mortgage-backed securities from way back when.

:11:41.:11:43.

It's a biggie, and it's hanging on and it's hard for RBS to make

:11:44.:11:47.

A process to revive the old Williams and Glyn brand has been beset

:11:48.:11:54.

by technical difficulties and was finally shelved today.

:11:55.:11:56.

The 300 branches it has to sell as a condition of its 2008

:11:57.:12:00.

bail out now look likely to be sold to a rival.

:12:01.:12:04.

Still three quarters owned by the taxpayer,

:12:05.:12:05.

it's unlikely RBS will make a profit or that we'll get any

:12:06.:12:09.

That will make it a lost decade for a bank that on some measures

:12:10.:12:14.

At least 10 people have been arrested following protests

:12:15.:12:22.

by Black Lives Matter campaigners which blocked the main road

:12:23.:12:25.

into Heathrow Airport for a time this morning.

:12:26.:12:29.

There were similar protests at Birmingham airport and a number

:12:30.:12:31.

of other cities around the country to mark the fifth anniversary

:12:32.:12:34.

of the shooting of Mark Duggan, an event which led to rioting in some

:12:35.:12:37.

A prison governor has received hospital treatment

:12:38.:12:43.

after being seriously injured by an inmate at a prison in Norfolk.

:12:44.:12:46.

Paul Cawkwell was talking to a prisoner in the canteen at HMP

:12:47.:12:49.

The Ministry of Justice confirmed that police

:12:50.:12:53.

The former head of the official inquiry into historical allegations

:12:54.:13:00.

of child abuse has been asked to explain her surprise

:13:01.:13:03.

Dame Lowell Goddard is the third chair to quit the position since

:13:04.:13:09.

Sources have told the BBC there have been tensions within

:13:10.:13:14.

Our correspondent Tom Symonds reports.

:13:15.:13:23.

His face is never welcome these days, but really, this all started

:13:24.:13:31.

with him, the flood of disclosures about child abusers. An enquiry was

:13:32.:13:36.

demanded. In the search for a chairman, two senior lawyers came

:13:37.:13:40.

and went, too close to the establishment. Finally, Dame Lowell

:13:41.:13:43.

Goddard was brought in from New Zealand. Hope, that she was far

:13:44.:13:46.

enough removed to be truly independent. I come with certainly

:13:47.:13:51.

no agenda other than to work hard and get to the bottom of the

:13:52.:13:57.

allegations and to find answers for the survivors and the government.

:13:58.:14:04.

She began a vast enquiry, 13 wide-ranging subjects. Possible

:14:05.:14:07.

abuse in high office is only one of them. Much bigger is the examination

:14:08.:14:13.

of wrongdoing in children's homes in Rochdale, Nottingham and Lambeth,

:14:14.:14:16.

for starters. The allegations about the Anglican and Catholic churches.

:14:17.:14:21.

The focus is institutional failure, but when a public figure like Labour

:14:22.:14:25.

peer Lord Janner was accused of abusing children within

:14:26.:14:28.

institutions, the enquiry said it had to assess the facts of what he

:14:29.:14:33.

did. Today, abuse victims and survivors working on the enquiry

:14:34.:14:35.

were locked in a long meeting at this London hotel will stop shocked

:14:36.:14:40.

at Dame Goddard's resignation, they were given little explanation. But

:14:41.:14:46.

one source said there was tension between the judge and her officials.

:14:47.:14:50.

Another described it as conflict. A third has told us in the past that

:14:51.:14:54.

she is difficult to work with. Yet somebody more sympathetic to her has

:14:55.:14:58.

said she simply didn't get the support and loyalty she needed to do

:14:59.:15:04.

this difficult job. But those at today's meeting were told that the

:15:05.:15:09.

enquiry goes on. They did a good job of trying to reassure people that

:15:10.:15:13.

the enquiry would continue and that there would not be any undue delays

:15:14.:15:17.

in the public hearings, and they would move as quickly as possible to

:15:18.:15:21.

try and get a suitable replacement chair in place. The new Home

:15:22.:15:26.

Secretary, Amber Rudd, met those working with the enquiry today.

:15:27.:15:30.

Finding a replacement will be a daunting task for her. Both the

:15:31.:15:33.

Minister and the judge have been told to appear in front of MPs next

:15:34.:15:36.

month to explain themselves. Just hours until the Olympics get

:15:37.:15:50.

underway in Brazil, thousands of athletes will take part in the

:15:51.:15:56.

opening ceremony in Rio tonight. And I'm in Abergavenny. This is the

:15:57.:15:59.

first time this major cultural event has happened in this town for over

:16:00.:16:05.

100 years. In Olympic Sportsday on BBC News,

:16:06.:16:07.

the latest from Rio. Police and firefighters are warning

:16:08.:16:19.

that a highly dangerous new method of making super strength cannabis

:16:20.:16:23.

is emerging in Britain. It's called butane hash oil -

:16:24.:16:28.

or BHO - and involves using large amounts of the flammable

:16:29.:16:32.

gas, which can explode A BBC investigation has learned

:16:33.:16:34.

of two deaths and more than 30 people being injured across the UK,

:16:35.:16:40.

as a result of making the drug. They want to get high

:16:41.:16:43.

but are risking their lives, This is probably the most

:16:44.:16:54.

concentrated form of Nicknamed Shatter or Dabs,

:16:55.:17:16.

this is BHO, butane hash oil, Usually the very highest

:17:17.:17:23.

quality is the more gold. The more gold it is,

:17:24.:17:31.

the higher quality. Alex takes it for a chronic

:17:32.:17:34.

medical condition. Undoubtedly it is growing,

:17:35.:17:35.

it is huge, compared to just last year, it's ten times bigger

:17:36.:17:47.

and I expect it will be ten It means more people may try

:17:48.:17:50.

and make it and hurt themselves. They are using the butane

:17:51.:18:00.

as a solvent to extract Squirting raw butane

:18:01.:18:03.

into a compartment and it only takes the smallest of ignition sources

:18:04.:18:06.

to create that explosion. With trained fire investigators

:18:07.:18:13.

in a specialist facility, we can show how

:18:14.:18:15.

dangerous it really is. Here, using just one canister,

a simulation of what happens when BHO production

:18:18.:18:25.

goes badly wrong. A fraction of a second later, fire,

:18:26.:18:26.

burning at more than 1400 Celsius. That's the theory,

:18:27.:18:36.

this is real life. What's left of a BHO factory

:18:37.:18:40.

in a flat in Birmingham, concrete beams snapped in two,

:18:41.:18:43.

debris blown across the street, hundreds of cans of butane

:18:44.:18:46.

were found inside. The explosion triggered

:18:47.:18:50.

by the switch of an electric kettle. One man was so badly hurt here,

:18:51.:18:57.

he died later in hospital. The house had to be

:18:58.:19:04.

completely demolished. This isn't a one-off,

:19:05.:19:05.

we know of at least one other death and 25 serious injuries linked

:19:06.:19:08.

to hash oil explosions We've seen an increase

:19:09.:19:10.

in the amount of incidents What would be your message

to the police about. Police then kept in

:21:54.:21:57.

touch and investigated. Police in Pakistan have said

:21:58.:22:00.

that the 28-year-old beautician was strangled

:22:01.:22:10.

while she was there last month. Her husband has claimed

:22:11.:22:13.

she was killed by her family because they disapproved

:22:14.:22:17.

of their marriage. The family have denied any

:22:18.:22:20.

wrongdoing, and no arrests have been More than 1,000 so-called honour

killings were reported The authorities here say

:22:25.:22:29.

they are speaking to police over there about what happened

and are reviewing all the people The cleric described the 28-year-old

:22:40.:22:42.

beautician as "sensitive" and said he was devastated by

the way in which she died. It's a celebration of Welsh

:22:46.:22:47.

literature, music and performance. The Eisteddfod is the biggest

:22:48.:23:02.

travelling arts festival in Europe and it's a tradition that can be

:23:03.:23:04.

traced back to the 12th century. It's held over eight days

:23:05.:23:12.

and for the first time in more than 100 years it's taking

:23:13.:23:14.

place in Abergavenny. Our Arts Editor,

:23:15.:23:16.

Will Gompertz, is there. It exists to further the Welsh

language, and everybody realises that we have this Welsh language

policy, which states that all of the performances will be in Welsh.

This is the field where all of the performances are in Welsh and all

the signage. The star attractions take place in the main pavilion over

:24:28.:24:37.

there. There is no doubt this is an

:24:38.:24:41.

important cultural event, but the festival has been criticised in the

:24:42.:24:45.

past for being too inward looking and a little unwelcoming to the 80%

:24:46.:24:49.

of Welsh people who do not speak the language.

:24:50.:24:56.

Changes are a foot, with more contemporary shows, like this new

:24:57.:25:02.

piece by an acclaimed harpist. This whole thing is about celebration of

:25:03.:25:10.

the language. It is always important to bear in mind we must welcome

:25:11.:25:13.

everybody else and increasingly they are doing that. I would hope that as

:25:14.:25:17.

a non-Welsh language speaker you could come and still have a lovely

:25:18.:25:23.

day and enjoy the culture that we celebrate. The festival is making a

:25:24.:25:28.

rare visit to the largely English speaking Welsh town of Abergavenny,

:25:29.:25:32.

where it gets a mixed reception. It is a lot of Welsh. Some of it, you

:25:33.:25:38.

think, what is the point? It has definitely encouraged a lot of

:25:39.:25:41.

people I know to start learning Welsh. From two years ago when we

:25:42.:25:50.

first knew it was coming here. These award-winning Welsh folk singers

:25:51.:25:53.

worry that the approach can be too insular. Normalise the Welsh

:25:54.:25:57.

language. Sing your song that happens to be in the Welsh language.

:25:58.:26:01.

Don't make a big thing about it. If you start thinking in and keeping

:26:02.:26:08.

every thing safe and Welsh, that is the problem we are going to suffer

:26:09.:26:14.

as a Welsh nation. So collaboration, not isolation, is their vision for

:26:15.:26:17.

the future of the Welsh language, and a festival which wants to be

:26:18.:26:21.

seen as an open house, not a walled garden.

:26:22.:26:55.

Essentially for most of us it will be a fine end to the working week

:26:56.:27:01.

with clear skies this evening and overnight. Not particularly cold in

:27:02.:27:07.

city centres. But as usual, across the North in the countryside it will

:27:08.:27:10.

turn the peak, with temperatures dipping down.

:27:11.:27:19.

Gale force winds later in the day around the western coast but for the

:27:20.:27:26.

bulk of the country a fine day. Temperatures in the sunshine peaking

:27:27.:27:30.

in London at 25 degrees, 23 in Yorkshire and in the lowlands of

:27:31.:27:35.

Scotland not far off 20 degrees. As well as the Eisteddfod we have the

:27:36.:27:39.

Edinburgh Festival running through August and it's not looking bad for

:27:40.:27:42.

the first few days. Saturday evening, fine end to the day for

:27:43.:27:47.

most of England and Wales but you can see that the winds are

:27:48.:27:50.

increasing in the north-west of the UK, bits and pieces of rain and with

:27:51.:27:55.

this wind comes a rush of mild muggy air. So first thing Sunday morning

:27:56.:27:59.

it will feel close and warm and probably if I were to draw a line

:28:00.:28:03.

around here from northern England northwards, gale force gusts of wind

:28:04.:28:09.

buffeting those treess towards the south, breezy conditions and

:28:10.:28:14.

sunshine getting up to around 25 Celsius. Overall for most of us not

:28:15.:28:20.

too bad and for that all-important opening ceremony, 26 degrees in Rio,

:28:21.:28:22.

with clear skies. Thank you. The 2016 Olympics are about to get

:28:23.:28:35.

underway in Brazil with the opening ceremony in Rio just hours away.
