The remaining key suspect in the Paris terror attacks | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
is arrested in Belgium in a big police operation. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
DNA and fingerprints belonging to Mohammed Abrini were found | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
in a car used in the attacks last November. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
He was one of a number of people arrested this afternoon in a suburb | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
But the Belgian authorities are still trying to ascertain | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
whether Abrini is also the bomber on the run | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Investigators are verifying whether Mohamed Abrini can be positively | :00:27. | :00:41. | |
identified as being the third person present during the attacks in | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Brussels airport, the so-called "the man in the hat". | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
We'll bring you the latest from Brussels on tonight's developments. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Ayeeshia Smith's injuries were compared to a car crash victim. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Her mother Kathryn Smith called the emergency services | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
and claimed her partner Matthew Rigby was responsible. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
My daughter is not breathing. Can you see no breathing from her chest | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
at all or hear any... She is floppy, lifeless, she is not breathing. Have | :01:12. | :01:14. | |

The key remaining suspect wanted in connection with last | :01:38. | :02:07. | |
November's Paris attacks, has been arrested in Brussels. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Mohammed Abrini's fingerprints and DNA had been found in a car used | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
The Belgian authorities are still trying to ascertain | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
whether Abrini is the so-called "man in the hat", the third suspect | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
in the Brussels airport bombing last month, whose | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
Our correspondent, Damian Grammaticas, is following | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Well the confirmation that Mohamed Abrini is under arrest came only | :02:27. | :02:39. | |
just over an hour ago from prosecutors here. They have been | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
searching for him for almost five months now. His detention came after | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
another day when we saw armed police on the streets of Brussels. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
They have caught someone. They've caught someone -- the voice filming | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
says. Outside armed Belgian police surround a man. He is pinned to the | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
ground. Another passerby also filmed the officers making their arrest. | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
This is one of several today. The man bundled away, even as in the | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
background, families continue to stroll past. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
This is where this latest arrest happened, right house this old | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Renault garage in the Anderlecht district of Brussels. Belgian | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
investigators appear to be making progress and drawing more | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
connections between the men who carried out the Brussels attacks and | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
the Paris attacks. This is the key suspect now in Cowesdy. Mohamed | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Abrini. Issued last November, the first arrest notice for him, in | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
connection with the Paris attacks. On the right, two days before Paris, | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
Mohamed Abrini, he is walking beside, Salah Abdeslam. They were at | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
a petrol station heading towards Paris. Abrini was the driver | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
delivering this car, a black Renault Cleo. The car was used by the Paris | :03:57. | :41:42. | |
attackers. Abrini has been hunted since. Prosecutors say he | :41:43. | 3:55:41 | |
attackers. Abrini has been hunted linked to the Brussels attacks and | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the safe houses used by the Brussels bomb makers. Fingerprints and DNA | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
from Abrini were found in the vehicle, the Renault Cleo that was | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
used during the Paris attacks. And prosecutors are now trying to | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
confirm this this is Mohamed Abrini, filmed at Brussels Airport, seconds | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
later, the two men to his left, suicide bombers, blew themselves up. | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
The so-called "the man in the hat" fled from the airport and police | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
have been trying to identify him ever since. Exactly three weeks ago | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Belgium police made this arrest, of Salah Abdeslam, then Europe's | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
most-wanted man who had been seen with Abrini pe petrol station. | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Police now have their two prime suspects in custody. | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Trans-Troon Abrini is most important after Abdeslam, we have the two last | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
important people involved in the attack in Paris and Brussels, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
November 13 and March 22. That means most of the people involved in the | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
two attacks are dead or under arrest. | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
And with this latest arrest, what's also now clear, is that the two | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
attackerses on Brussels and Paris were the work of one extended terror | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
cell. -- the two attackers. The key question remaining is - was Mohamed | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Abrini the "the man in the hat"? We know a week ago a different man was | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
arrested who they thought might have been that figure, but tonight a an | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
insider with good knowledge said they are 95% certain that they have | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
everyone close to this plot now. Of A mother has been found guilty | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of murdering her 21-month-old daughter, just weeks | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
after after social services had discussed taking the little | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
girl back into care. Kathryn Smith was also convicted | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of cruelty to her daughter, Ayeeshia, whose injuries were so | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
severe they were compared to those Her stepfather, Matthew Rigby, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
has been convicted of causing Ayeeshia, who lived | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
with the couple in Staffordshire, had been known to social services | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
all her life but chances to stop the abuse that killed her | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
were repeatedly missed. Dan Johnson's report contains | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
details you may find distressing. A normal, happy, smiling | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
toddler, known as AJ. But before her second birthday, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Ayeeshia Smith was killed This is the 999 call Kathryn Smith | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
made that day. Can you see her chest | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
moving up and down? Can you hear any air | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
coming from her mouth? No, there is nothing, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
she's gone. Any hope of saving her had gone, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
her heart torn by an impact as forceful as a car crash, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
but Kathryn Smith's concern was for herself and concealing | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
what she had done. He was cleared of murder | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
but convicted of allowing That's what touches | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
at my heart strings. Kathryn Smith was a cannabis user | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
who kept the drug had her daughter's beaker. Rigby had previous | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
convictions for assault. The court heard the young mother has selfish | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and negligent. She put the needs of herself and her partner before the | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
safety of her child. Social services were involved throughout AJ's short | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
life N June 2013 she was taken into foster care. After a few months she | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
was returned to her mother, but soon she was showing signs of neglect. In | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
January 2014, she was taken to hospital with cuts to her lip and | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
chin. Her natural father took this photo. She was back a month later, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
having suffered a seizure, described as a life-threatening incident. | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Social services discussed further intervention but within three weeks, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Ayeeshia was dead. The agencies were involved, police and social | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
services, do you think this could have been stopped? Their | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
relationship was stormy, neighbours often heard the couple rowing. | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Stop it. This was another emergency call made from their flat. What is | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
going on? My partner is going to cut himself and try and blame it on me. | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Matt, put it down, down. And that was just weeks before AJ's | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
death. A review will now ask if more could have been done to save her. | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
The two people who said they loved her and were trusted with her care | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
will be sentenced on Monday. Mark there's a tragic roll call | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of names we're familiar with - Victoria Climbie, Baby Peter - | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and yet again opportunities missed It is, a list of shame. We should | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
recognise the enormous amount of cruelty and violence against | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
children that there is. In the last year 600,000 children were referred | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to children's services in England and more than 60,000, the highest | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
number ever, were thought to be at such significant risk of harm that | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
they were put on child protection plans. In Derbyshire, where Ayeeshia | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
came from, the children's services department responsible for her, had | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
over 9,000 children referred to them. 700 were put on protection | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
plans. We look to the police, we look to the courts to respond. Each | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
year something like 1,000 people are convicted of cruelty or neglect of | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
children. Almost two-thirds of those women. 63 women indeed were jailed | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
for mistreating women just last year. Mistreating children. Yes. For | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
local authorities, it is a huge challenge. Vast numbers of children | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
at potential risk. You can't just take every child away from its | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
mother. You have to make difficult calls. There will be, as we heard a | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Serious Case Review into Ayeeshia's death and one hopes lessons will be | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
learned. Let's not pretend we can tweak our defences and the battle | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
will be over. The sad truth is that the list of shame will continue to | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
grow. Thank you. Labour is keeping up the pressure | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
on David Cameron, after he revealed he has profited from his father's | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
offshore investment fund. The Prime Minister and Downing | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Street have between them issued four statements this week on Mr Cameron's | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
links with his father's firm, Blairmore Holdings, before | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
he finally clarified last night that he'd | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
held shares until 2010. The Labour Leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
is demanding the Prime Minister make a statement to Parliament | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
about all his financial dealings. Our political correspondent, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Carole Walker, reports. David Cameron has admitted it's been | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
a difficult few days. He said he has nothing to hide | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
but he's facing accusations from Labour that he misled | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the public about his personal involvement in his late father's | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
offshore fund and demands that he makes a statement | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to Parliament. You need to be able to trust | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
your Prime Minister. The fact that he couldn't answer | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
a straight question, straightforwardly, straight away, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
I think has undermined I think David Cameron has big | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
questions to answer. It seems as if this information has | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
had to be dragged out of him over What he said a few days ago appeared | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to suggest there was no benefit he had ever derived from offshore | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
funds like this one. At first Downing Street | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
was reluctant to say in the Panama Papers | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of the offshore fund run On Monday, they said | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
it was a private matter. I have no shares, no | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
offshore trust, no offshore And so that I think | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
is a very clear description. On Wednesday came a further | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
statement, saying: "There are no offshore funds | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
or trusts which the Prime Minister, Mrs Cameron or their children | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
will benefit from in the future." Then last night he admitted | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
he had owned the shares. We owned 5,000 units | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
in Blairmore Investment Trust That was worth something | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
like ?30,000. The offshore fund, known | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
as Blairmore Holdings, was founded in Panama | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
by David Cameron's late father, Ian. The Prime Minister has said | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
it was not set up to avoid paying tax in the UK and that | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
when he sold his shares, His admission that he had shares | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
in the business has seized the headlines but there's no | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
suggestion Mr Cameron has done anything illegal and Tory MPs have | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
defended his handling of the row. It is a natural human instinct, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
when the media are piling in on your father's reputation | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and record, and your father is dead when he knew that he had paid | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
all the tax he had to pay, I think it is natural to feel - | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
I want to protect my David Cameron did not declare | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the Blairmore shares in the Register of Members' Interests, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
which lists MPs' outside The rules did not | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
require him to do so. David Cameron has said he'll | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
publish his tax return soon, to be clear and open | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
about his financial affairs. That will put the pressure on other | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
senior ministers to do so as well but for Number Ten this row has | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
provided an unwelcome reminder of the Prime Minister's wealthy | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and privileged background and a distraction from their bigger | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
political battles. David Cameron will come under | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
further pressure when Parliament returns on Monday, over his personal | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
finances and whether he is prepared to do more to ensure the wealthy | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
pay their fair share of tax. With me now is our Economics | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Editor, Kamal Ahmed. Where do you place this | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
in the context of what's been revealed in the massive | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
leak from Panama? Absolutely, Fiona, it has been very | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
difficult, politically, for David Cameron. We have seen the headlines | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and issues around trust in the Prime Minister, is he consistent in what | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
he tells the public. But in terms of what has been revealed in the Panama | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Papers, this dump of millions of documents about how the wealthy move | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
money secretly around the world, many in the public might judge Mr | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Cameron to be at the lower end of what has been revealed. We had | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
billionaires buying property in London, the Fifa President linked to | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
two men accused of bribery, the Chinese politburo members linked to | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
offshore funds, a circle around President Putin of Russia, the | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Icelandic Prime Minister who has resigned after it was revealed he | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
had links to a fund which also involved his wife. The big issue | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
that has been raised this week, from David Cameron, to China, to Russia, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to Fifa, is this issue of us and them, that somehow in the world | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
there are different rules for the elites, the wealthy, the | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
politicians, rich businessmen, different from the rules for me and | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
you, the ordinary people. That has led to this toxic relationship. It | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
has touched a nerve that has been raw since the financial crisis, and | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
it is still rather raw, and that is what will be the big outcome of the | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Panama Papers, that that nerve is still being touched and it irritates | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the public hugely. A brief look at some | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of the day's other news stories. A bus driver from Rochdale | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
in Greater Manchester has been jailed for 25 years for rape | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and sexual activity with children. Nine other men have been jailed | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
for up to 23 years for sexual One victim told police she'd been | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
groomed by a large number of men Detectives are questioning | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
a 49-year-old man about the murder Police who were searching for PC | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Gordon Semple have found his remains The officer was last | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
seen a week ago. Britain's most senior | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
police officer has met privately with Lord Bramall, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and expressed his "regret" about the distress felt | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
by the former head of the Army after he was embroiled in an inquiry | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
into paedophile allegations. Lord Bramall was told he would face | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
no further action over historic abuse claims, almost nine months | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
after he was interviewed by police. Pope Francis has called | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
for the Catholic Church to recognise He says bishops and priests should | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
be free to interpret doctrine in ways that suit their own cultures | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
in their own countries, particularly in relation | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to marriage and divorce. Caroline, how significant | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
a shift is this? Well, it is a change but not as much | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of a change as many reformers hoped for. However, Pope Francis has set | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and made clear from the top of the Catholic Church the direction he | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
wants for his priests and his flock of over 1 billion Catholics around | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the world. The Catholic Church has often | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
closed its door on those living Today in Rome, Pope Francis sought | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to open it a little, issuing his guidance on how | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the Vatican should treat At a press conference here this | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
week, two of the Pope's leading cardinals revealed the contents | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of this keenly awaited document. It came after much debate | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and some very public In the Pope's document | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
on the family, the biggest change is the idea of greater devolution, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
with Pope Francis suggesting priests seek solutions that are best suited | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to their own culture. He also wants more openness | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and a greater understanding of what the Church terms irregular | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
situations, such as But there is no change | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to the Church's doctrine, nor its views on homosexuality | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
or ban on contraception. So does this mean that those | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
who are divorced and civilly remarried will now be welcomed back | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to take communion? Those who want to be included | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
in the life of the Church, the life of faith in the Church, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
they are welcome. The Pope often said, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
let the doors of the Church be And he says the same to everybody | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
who is in a difficult situation. This document, over 250 pages long, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
is one of the most significant to emerge | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
from the Vatican in many years. Entitled On Love and the Family, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
it is written in the distinctive voice of Pope Francis and will set | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the course of the way the Catholic Church deals | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
with family life for many We first spoke to this couple | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and their children in 2014. They had high hopes this Pope | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
would change the Church's When I first read it, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
it was a little bit frustrating In the end, though, this popular | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Pope has shown himself There is no radical reform here, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
as some had hoped, more a gentle signal that all families, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
however fractured, are welcome in his Church, and that the doors | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
are now open. With just four months to go before | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Rio hosts the summer Olympics there are still serious concerns | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
about whether the city It's had to cope with some serious | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
problems in the run up to the Games, including big public protests | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
following allegations And the outbreak of the Zika virus | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |

been badly affected. Aleem Maqbool reports | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
from Rio's Olympic Park. Rio is still in a race to be | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
ready for the Olympics. Transport links to the venues | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
are way behind schedule, What the organisers do want to show | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
off is the Olympic Park. On a rare look inside, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
it's clear the buildings don't have the wow factor | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of previous events. They do, though, look | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
like they should be Some of the Olympic venues have been | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
completed, on the outside at least. But there are huge crises this | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
country is facing right now, which has led to concerns about how | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
they will impact the Games. A fierce political storm | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
is raging in Brazil. from office before she gets | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to open the Rio Games. the government's head | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of Olympic security. No other country in Olympic history | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
has lived through such difficult political times so shortly close | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to the Games. We basically, review | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the Games at every second. That doesn't mean that there | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
is a negative impact, There's also been a dramatic | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
collapse of the Brazilian economy. And Olympic projects have been | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
affected, among them a plan to clean Rio's waterways, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
like Guanabara Bay, where the Olympic sailing | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
events will happen. Raw sewage still flows | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
into it every day. And of course, Brazil has been hit | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
by another major crisis. They are spraying to kill mosquitoes | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
because many hundreds of thousands here are now thought to have | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
contracted the Zika virus. Pregnant women have been warned | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to stay away. As a schoolgirl you were | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
playing volleyball here. Fabiana Oliveira won gold medals | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
in Beijing and London. She hoped when the Games came | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to her home city there But for now, people | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
have other concerns. TRANSLATION: I am sad | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
because right now not everyone is focused on the Games, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
making sure they are a success. I am sad because my country | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
is going through a difficult time. I hope these Olympic Games will show | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the fighting spirit of my people. And it may well be after the final | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
frantic preparations that Brazil The point of hosting the Olympics, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
though, was to showcase what positives the | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
country had to offer. But the Games, instead, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
may just have drawn the eyes of the world even more | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to Brazil's current turmoil. Aleem Maqbool, BBC | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
News, Rio de Janeiro. The fairy tale is coming | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
closer for Leicester City. If they win again this weekend | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
and other results go in their favour, they could be just | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
one more victory away from winning the Premier League title | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
for the first time. If they lift the trophy it will be | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
ranked as one of the greatest ever Andy Swiss sent this | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
report from Leicester. A year ago they were | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
staring at relegation. Not much joy for those Leicester | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
fans on their travels this season. Now they are on the brink | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
of a footballing fairy tale. Leicester's story is as unlikely | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
as it is unforgettable. This last weekend put them seven | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
points clear. Even for the manager | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
it is hard not to be. We have to wait and | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
play match by match. Also it is important | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
to maintain the right way Keeping feet grounded has rarely | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
been a problem here. Leicester have never won the league, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
despite this man's best efforts. Gary Lineker used to help his | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
parents on their stall at Leicester market, but he told me his home | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
club's journey is unprecedented. It is like watching a movie | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
that is perhaps a little bit over the top, a bit | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
ridiculous, a bit far-fetched. But the impossible dream | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
is getting very close. Seven points with six games to go | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
is certainly the most spectacular Indeed this just might be | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the biggest sporting Remember Goran Ivanisevic winning | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Wimbledon? The unheralded golfer Ben Curtis won | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
the Open as a 300-1 outsider but at the start of the season | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Leicester's odds of winning That is the same odds as the Loch | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
Ness Monster being found. Should Leicester do it, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
armchair supporters I foolishly tweeted in December that | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
I would present the opening Match Knowing obviously at that point | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
categorically that there was no chance Leicester were going to go | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
on to win the title. But I hope it is a problem I have, | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
even if I would have to apologise. Leicester fans will not mind that | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
if their remarkable story has That's all from us. Now it's time | 3:55:42 | 3:55:41 | |
