Team GB celebrates its most successful ever overseas Olympics | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The golden couple, Laura Trott and Jason Kenny, now have ten | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
It doesn't seem like something I could have achieved. | :00:15. | :00:27. | |
If I obviously didn't win another day, I could retire | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
a happy man either way, I think. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Another gold medal on its way this evening, with Hannah Mills | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
and Saskia Clark about to be crowned in the sailing. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
But controversy too as the president of the European Olympic Committees | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
is arrested in Rio over alleged ticket touting. | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
Campaigners say they fear the Government's plans to tackle | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
childhood obesity in England won't go far enough. | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
The businesswoman paralysed by a stun gun then stabbed to death | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
And changing the face of farming in Britain. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
Calls for subsidies to big farms to be slashed and given | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
And coming up in Olympic Sportsday on BBC News, away from Britain's | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
gold in the sailing, Mo Farah stumbles into the men's | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
5000 metre final with a double- double still on. | :01:16. | :01:38. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at 6. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
With five more days to go at the Rio Olympics, | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Team GB have already had their best ever away Games. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
They've beaten the target set for them by UK Sport | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Last night's nail-biting action in the velodrome helped boost | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
the tally with Jason Kenny winning the sixth gold of his career. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
His fiancee, Laura Trott, won her fourth gold medal - | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
becoming the most successful female British Olympian ever. | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
Today the most successful olympic couple in the world | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
have been reflecting on their remarkable achievement. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
They've been talking to our Sports Editor Dan Roan. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
It is a record-breaking relationship like no other. Jason Kenny and Laura | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
trot now the most successful male and female Olympians Britain has | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
ever had. After their heroics last night in the velodrome they now have | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
ten gold medals between them. Today, here in Rio, they told me that the | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
nominal success will not change them. When you were spotted | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
canoodling behind the stands, Realistically, I ready for this | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
upsurge in interest in the two of We still feel like the | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
couple that, like you say, worked together before London, | :02:56. | :03:05. | |
it's just neighbourly knew about You like to live quite, I guess, | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
a normal and quiet life. We lived literally in the middle | :03:08. | :03:17. | |
of nowhere for them is quite nice | :03:18. | :03:18. | |
that we go out for dog walks and do not see anybody | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
for miles and miles. That is just us, that's the way | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
we've always been. I guess, yes, it might | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
change if it does, we will For us, we still feel | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
like the same kind of two in London, all of my dreams came | :03:33. | :03:48. | |
true. I did not know how do it for seems insane for study does not feel | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
like me, it does not seem like something I could achieve. You are | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
hoping all your dreams country. I was obviously massively proud and | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
happy for her. Kenny, meanwhile, won his sixth Olympic gold. Emulating | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
the achievement of his former team-mate, Chris Hoy. We just focus | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
on going through the process and taking each race as it comes that as | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
I have been doing for them this morning, waking up with three gold | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
medals, it feels like a dream. British track cycling was the best | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
funded team at these Olympics and how it has paid off with all 14 | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
members of the squad winning a medal here in Rio. Such is the domination, | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
one beaten opponent called their ability to deliver when it matters | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
questionable. What you make of that kind of comment from a rival? It is | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
understandable at the end of the day. We take a natural step. We went | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
to the World Championship six months ago and went whirl. Now is slightly | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
better. Very often, nations come to the Olympics and do slightly worse. | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
That seems bizarre to others. The Olympics is everything that we would | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
be devastated if we were not going on the form of our lives. Team GB | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
achieved its target of a best ever away Games. The British Olympic | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
Association said it is not a one-off. If you look through our | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
medal success, it is not just about the medals he won in Rio. There is a | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
really strong generation coming through the Tokyo and I think Team | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
GB will be a power in Olympic sport for many years to come. That should | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
include Kenny and Laura Trott. The power couple of Olympic sports are | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
to be the driving factor of Olympic sport in years to come. | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
Another gold is guaranteed in the sailing. They are in the lead and | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
cannot be caught. Mo Farah was back on the track this afternoon in the | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
5000 metre heat with a moment of drama as yours that again. With the | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
latest from Rio, here is Natalie. All is peaceful. They only need to | :05:59. | :06:11. | |
finish their final race in the sailing to ensure they become | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Olympic champions. It has been delayed, owing to lack of wind. We | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
get excited to go out and race. We will raise hard and put in a good | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
show for everyone. I cannot wait to get it done. Over in the athletics | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
stadium, a glimpse of a defending champion in the heats of the 5000 | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
metres. Mo Farah was not going to let blazing sunshine affect his | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
chance of reaching Saturday's final. Avoiding a potential stumble on the | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
home straight to easily qualify. In the mid-morning sun, one athlete was | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
feeling the heat more than most. Like Mo Farah, Caster Semenya is | :06:49. | :06:59. | |
well used to being in the spotlight. In the heats of the 800 metres, the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
silver medallist in London that Serena was she is at the centre of a | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
rout over hyper androgynous. In 2009 she was gender tested. She was born | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
with male six organs. The rare condition leaves her with elevated | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
testosterone levels and she was made to start taking suppressors and her | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
times dropped. Lastly, a successful court challenge by another other | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
intersex athlete meant the rule was suspended until after these games. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
Since then, how times have usually improved to the point where she is | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
now the hot favourite. In many ways, she cannot win. Paula Radcliffe said | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
her case highlights a wider issue. It is not just Caster Semenya. It is | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
the issue of the elevated testosterone was and how much of a | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
difference that makes in female athletics. Joshua Pozner bronze last | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
night marked the official moment Team GB hit its medal target. -- | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
Joshua's bronze. He was working in McDonald's in Olympic Park and | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
became inspired by Anthony Joshua. Inspiration comes in many forms. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
This moment is the perfect illustration of Olympic spirit. When | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
New Zealand's Nicky Hamlin fell four and a half laps in the women's 5000 | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
metre heats, she tripped up American Abbey D'Agostino. She stopped to | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
help her, insisting they had to finish. It was the American who was | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
most injured. She finally crossed the line. They have both been | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
awarded with a place in Friday's final. | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
Well, Rio is already Team GB's best ever overseas Games. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
We're in second place in the medal table with 19 golds | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
Team GB won a record 65 medals at London 2012. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
If they do, it would be the first time a host country has | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
increased its medal tally at the next summer Games | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
since the modern Olympic era began in 1896. | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
One of the big problems Rio's organisers have had during these | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
Games are the hoards of empty seats at many of the venues. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
And today it emerged that police have arrested the head | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
of the European and Irish Olympic Committees on suspicion | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
Live now to our correspondent, Wyre Davies. | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
71-year-old Pat Hickey is one of the most senior figures in the European | :09:24. | :09:38. | |
Olympic movement. He is president of the Olympic Council of Ireland he | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
was arrested at his luxury hotel earlier this morning. According to | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
Brazilian police, his wife said he was not there and had already | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
returned to Ireland. On closer inspection, they found him in an | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
adjoining room for he is accused of being part of an elaborate scheme to | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
resell luxury high end Olympic tickets at inflated prices including | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
tickets for the athletics finals here and the opening and closing | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
ceremonies. Police have already earlier arrested several executives | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
from a company called THD. They have denied doing anything illegal. Even | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
though this only applies to a few thousand tickets out of several | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
million Olympic tickets, a scheme that could have netted about ?2 | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
million, it is hugely embarrassing for the IOC and Rio 2016 when, as | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
you say, ticketing has been such a huge story at these Olympics. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
The rest of the news now and the Government's long-awaited | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
plan to tackle childhood obesity in England will be | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
It will include details of the new sugar levy which, | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
the BBC understands, will make manufacturers cut | :10:40. | :10:40. | |
the added sugar content of food and drink by 20% over four years. | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
But campaigners are angry the measures don't go far enough. | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
For example, there will be no new curbs on TV | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
and restrictions on cut price promotions in supermarkets. | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Dancing in the playground. At one school's to keep pupils fit and | :10:54. | :11:12. | |
avoid longer help term problems associated with weight. There are | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
more plans to boost physical activity in schools will stop | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
healthy is that as a healthy food for school meals is another plan in | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
the London Borough of Haringey put that there is a recognition of any | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
similar to begin to announce a bigger problem to be dealt with | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
beyond the school gates. We are surrounded in this area by a host of | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
cheap, 99p, chicken and chips meal deals. On a lower income, you would | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
be drawn to those deals. Supermarkets are offering perhaps | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
lower quality food at an affordable price. The new government plan for | :11:46. | :11:55. | |
England is trying to tackle that, focusing on cutting sugar content of | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
food and drink in shops, making healthy choices is not always easy, | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
as Melanie Horner told us. The unhealthy stuff is being used, | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
cakes, crisps, biscuits. Things like vegetables, by one, get one free. | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
The new child obesity plan is expected to improve information on | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
products with 20% less sugar over the years and moves to promote or | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
sports. There will be no action on supermarket deals on unhealthy food | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
or promotions during family TV shows. Work on this strategy has | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
been going on for months at Westminster put up David Cameron had | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
been set to an bail it. Theresa May has taken her own view on what is a | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
reasonable balance on voluntary action and government intervention. | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Ministers suggest it has been watered down. Campaigners say the | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
strategy has left out important measures and it is a missed | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
opportunity. This is a major crisis we face. We are very disappointed if | :13:02. | :13:15. | |
these measures are not taken. Ministers will highlight moves to | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
boost sport in schools that details of the sugar tax on fizzy drinks | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
that will apply across the UK will be unveiled. Plans are in Scotland | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
to approve diets have also been published today. Policymakers can | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
only hope measures will do something to produce measures which are seen | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
as a major threat to the nation's health. | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
A 35-year-old woman has been jailed for life for murdering | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
Sarah Williams used a stun gun on 60 year old Sadie Hartley before | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
stabbing her to death in her home in Lancashire. | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
She'd planned the brutal murder with a friend, | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
The court heard how Sarah Williams, who was described as a Bunny | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Boiler, had had an affair with Sadie Hartley's partner and had | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
Sarah Williams and Katrina Walsh, described as two monsters who | :13:57. | :14:07. | |
butchered an innocent woman for their own amusement. | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
Sadie Hartley was, the court heard, slaughtered | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
She was happy with her partner, Ian Johnston, but | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
his obsessed ex-girlfriend had an elaborate plan to kill her. | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
He had sent explicit messages to Sarah | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
Williams but says he has no idea what she was planning. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
I am indifferent, I have no energy for it. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
Just complete indifference as to why, oh, why, would somebody | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
Williams and her Friend, Katrina Walsh, left a trail of CCTV | :14:38. | :14:47. | |
evidence though they thought they were planning the perfect crime. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
They even bought the murder weapon, the | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
knife at Tesco, using a loyalty card. | :14:57. | :15:14. | |
her diaries, delighting in their depravity. | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
She wrote, Sarah came round, so got caught up in endless | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
After 18 months of scheming, Sarah Williams | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
went to the wealthy businesswoman's half ?1 million home in Lancashire. | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
Sadie Hartley had just returned from the riding stables and was home | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
alone here when there was a knock at the door. | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
She answered it to Sarah Williams, who lunged at her with a | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
stun gun and stabbed her more than 40 times. | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
Sadie Hartlepool 's match children have been in court to hear | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
weeks of graphic detail about their mother's do. | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
She is going to miss many of the things in life is really | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
looking forward to Charlotte and Rob's forthcoming wedding and | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
She'll miss birthdays, Christmases, and many | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
Our lives will never be the same again. | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
Sadie Hartley knew that Sarah Williams was jealous. | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
She'd received a nasty letter from her but she could not have | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
imagined that rivalry would result in her brutal murder. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
Team GB celebrates its most successful ever overseas Olympics - | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
cycling's golden couple now have 10 golds between them. | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
And still to come: We visit the cycle club where it all began | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
for the most successful female British Olympian ever. | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
Coming up on Olympic Sportsday on BBC News: | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
After another medal rush in the Velodrome in Rio, | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
Sir Dave Brailsford hits back at Great Britain's rivals who've | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
questioned their dominance in track cycling. | :16:36. | :16:47. | |
There should be a revolution in the way that subsidies are handed | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
out to British farmers - following the vote to leave the EU. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
That's according to the campaign to protect rural england. | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
It says that the government should give assistance to smaller, | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
more diverse farms rather than what it calls 'industrial | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
There are 116,000 farms in Britain - and they are all currently eligible | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
They receive more than ?2.5 billion a year. | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
Those grants can amount to 60% of some farmers' income. | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
Our Environment Correspondent Claire Marshall has been guaging opinion | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
Freshly milked, of out to pasture, the cows of Ivy house farm. Jeff and | :17:25. | :17:43. | |
his family run this farm in rural Somerset. It is close to a village | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
and providing and milk and jobs for the locals. But small businesses | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
like this are vanishing. There are 30,000 fewer farms than a decade | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
ago. Today's report says EU subsidies have favoured what they | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
call industrial farms. Brexit means it is time to change how the money | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
is handed out. Farmers are finding it so difficult to survive, small | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
farmers are very much their own efforts, family efforts keeping the | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
businesses going and as they get towards the end of their working | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
life there does not seem to be the young people coming on behind | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
because there isn't the money to do it. The Campaign to Protect Rural | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
England says these smaller farms are less damaging to environment. There | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
are around a or so cosier and his neighbour Chris whose farm we can | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
see has five times as many. Today's report says he should get less | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
money. So you're off to see what he says. We find Chris bringing his | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
herd in. He farms much more intensively. His cows produce some | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
three and a half million litres of milk a year. He believes the subsidy | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
system should be improved but at the end of the day his meeting demand. | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
The environment is important but everyone has to eat and we have to | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
produce food for the country and that can only be met with larger | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
scare farms which are more efficient. And keeping the costs of | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
production down. So for decades ruled is made in Brussels are played | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
a big part in shaping our farms. Now the debate starts about how they | :19:29. | :19:29. | |
should look in the future. At least 60 people have been injured | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
after a train crashed into a tree which had fallen onto the line | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
in southern France. The regional train was travelling | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
between Nimes and Montpellier when the accident happened | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
near the town of Le Cres. Rescue workers say ten people have | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
been seriously hurt. A Conservative activist was given | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
a key campaigning role despite warnings of his past | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
"aggressive and bullying conduct", Law firm Clifford Chance carried out | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
the report into Mark Clarke, following the suicide of activist | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
Elliott Johnson, who said He's denied all allegations | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
of wrongdoing. The number of people out of work | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
fell between April and June - There was also a surprise drop | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
in the number of people claiming out Our Economics Correspondent | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
correspondent, Andy Verity is here. A surprise given it was just | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
after the vote to leave the EU. That's right, you don't have too | :20:23. | :20:31. | |
have that long memory to remember the pre-Brexit vote era when there | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
were predictions from the likes of the IMF that after a vote we would | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
have unemployment going up but they were also saying that in the run-up | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
to the Brexit vote there was uncertainty causing a slowdown which | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
appeared to harm the jobs market. These figures have time-lag in them, | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
we are looking at the period for April to June for the official | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
unemployment number and it shows it fell by an estimated 52,000 to 1.64 | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
million in that time. Significantly we also have the first official data | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
from after the vote, that is the claimant count which is not as | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
reliable, it is based on the number of people claiming jobseeker's | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
allowance and the like. 763,000, significantly that is down which is | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
against the expectations of most economists. A bright spot in the | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
data following the vote, you cannot place too much reliance on it, we | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
won't really know if the jobs market has been harmed or not by the | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
decision to leave the EU. Not for a few months' time. There are downbeat | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
numbers coming in which suggest permanent placements are slowing | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
down and there is not as much confidence among employers but there | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
is not gloomy news to distract you from all the good news coming out of | :21:47. | :21:47. | |
Rio. The Labour Leadership challenger | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
Owen Smith has suggested that so-called Islamic State | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
will eventually be brought into peace talks - | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
if the violence in Syria comes He made the comments | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
during a televised BBC But the Labour leader | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
insisted there was no place Here's our Political | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
Correspondent, Chris Mason. It is Jeremy Corbyn's job right now | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
but this man, Owen Smith, reckons he would be rather | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
better at it. Who do you want to be the next | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
leader of the Labour Party? What is very clear is that Labour | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
is a party fighting with itself. Even having rows about the rows | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
they are having. Any complaints about abuse on social | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
media, personal abuse or abuse of anybody else, it has no place | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
in any political party. Jeremy has not stamped down | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
on it hard enough. This was a debate which was | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
often tense, even angry. The economy, the EU referendum | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
and education all came up. But it was on foreign policy that | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
Mr Smith showed how sometimes Would he ever be willing to talk | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
to so-called Islamic State? My view is that ultimately | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
all solutions to these sorts of crises, the sort | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
of international crises do come So eventually if we are to try | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
and solve this all the actors do But at the moment Isil are clearly | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
not interested in negotiating. As soon as the programme finished | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
I asked Mr Smith what exactly Nobody is suggesting that we will be | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
able to bring Isis around the table right now, | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
they are a murderous organisation. I don't know, we don't | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
know, we would all hope It was a reminder for Mr Smith | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
of just how carefully you have to choose your language if one day | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
you would like to be Prime Minister. As the stage is packed up | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
here today's hustings will have reminded both candidates of two | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
things; just how divided their party is and just how much scrutiny | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
they are both under. They say the Olympics should | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
inspire a generation - This is Laura Trott | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
at the age of just 12 - wearing Bradley Wiggins's gold medal | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
that he won in the 2004 Just 12 years later she has four | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
gold medals of her own - and is without doubt one of Team | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
GB's brightest lights. Joe Wilson has been finding out how | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
this young girl from Hertfordshire found herself on the fast track | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
to Olympic history. The gold medal is going | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
to go to Laura Trott! Laura Trott is Britain's most | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
successful female Olympian. I can't even explain what I'm | :24:36. | :24:45. | |
going through right now. Well, every journey to the summit | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
needs somewhere to begin. Laura Trott's mind and body may be | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
in Brazil but perhaps we can trace her heart back | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
here to Hertfordshire. Laura Trott remains an honorary | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
member of this club. Those angelic eyes became fixed | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
on a cycling career. From her premature birth, | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
through conditions which gave her difficulty even breathing, | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
she found a solution in the saddle. Francis Gallacher brought | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
the family to this velodrome. With some children, they have that | :25:19. | :25:20. | |
sort of inner belief and approach to being competitive | :25:21. | :25:32. | |
and they always want to win, There is a difference between taking | :25:33. | :25:34. | |
part and actually having that drive Nearby in Cheshunt the name | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
is used to inspire anyone But they are also counting | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
the days until the Trott Laura's friend for as long | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
as they can both remember. When we was at school, | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
if she wasn't going to make it in a cycling she would have | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
made it as a runner, It would have been one or the other, | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
she was always, the individual sports she was really, | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
really good at. But if you put her with a ball game | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
she wasn't so good, so, like, football, I used to like playing | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
football against her because she Velodromes are scarce, | :26:20. | :26:21. | |
at Welwyn they've had to start new races just | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
to meet the female demand. Laura Trott's in another continent - | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
her influence is right here. Joe Wilson, BBC News, | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
Hertfordshire. You did not really like the weather | :26:31. | :26:44. | |
chart for the weekend yesterday did you? You want better news. We will | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
get to that in a minute. Not a bad end to the day, Scarborough had the | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
clout to begin with but some sunshine at the moment. Most finish | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
on a fine zero but a different story in Northern Ireland. The rain | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
pushing across the South West and parts of Wales as well. Rumbles of | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
thunder and heavy downpours into the first part of the night, fizzling | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
out later, stays damp but away from that dry night, low cloud towards | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
Eastern parts. Further south at the start to tomorrow morning, much more | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
grey than we have been used to. Some occasional, mainly light and patchy | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
rain but that hope is allowed, skies will brighten and we will see Sunny | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
spells and one or two isolated showers. I think many will have dry | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
afternoon and further north in the morning cloud breaks up and a good | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
afternoon of sunny spells. Not as warm as it has been but temperatures | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
still of 22-24 especially across Northern Scotland, north-west | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
England and parts of the Midlands. Brady is where the change begins, | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
low pressure pushing from the West, most will start dry early on, | :27:52. | :28:00. | |
occasional rain pushing x-ray eastward, brightness in between the | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
wetter moments but the temperatures down on what they should be. But | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
this is what is happening into the weekend, low pressure shifting out | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
its stall, and usually deeper this kind of year. Mixture of sunshine | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
and showers, longer spells of rain and the odd rumble of thunder but | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
the big story especially if you have weekend activities planned is the | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
strength of the wind. West parts of Wales, gale force winds and rough | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
seas expected. With that I will pass you to someone who I am not on their | :28:35. | :28:36. | |
Christmas card list any more. Team GB celebrates its most | :28:37. | :28:39. | |
successful ever overseas Olympics - cycling's golden couple now have 10 | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
golds between them. Helping to bring the tally to 50 | :28:44. | :28:51. | |
medals with five days | :28:52. | :28:52. |
