The Golden night in Rio as Team GB win two more gold medals. Jack

Laugher and Chris Mears triumphs in the men's synchronised three metre

springboard and make history. It is gold for Great Britain! Tears of

joy. They are the first Olympic diving champions in British history.

A sensational win for Britain's Joe Clarke as he takes gold in the canoe

slalom. I'm absolutely made up and can't quite believe it. My words

will probably come out in a Big Brother. Oh my God, it's an amazing

feeling. Team GB have also scooped three more gold medals in cycling,

judo and chat shooting. We'll have the latest from Rio. No hope in

sight for more than 2 million people trapped by fierce fighting in the

Syrian city of Aleppo as rebel fighters reject ceasefire calls. We

as military fighters only understand this call for a ceasefire by the UN

to be nothing but to give a chance for the regime to catch its breath

after the big defeat they suffered. Britain's some of rail strikes. As

one walk-out is suspended, another is announced an Eurostar that will

hit holiday-makers. Democrat Hillary Clinton accuses her rival Donald

shot of inciting violence with his controversial comments.

And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News we'll have more on a brilliant

day for Britain at the Rio Olympics as Team GB march up the medal table.

Team GB are celebrating in Rio tonight after winning two more gold

medals. Joe Clarke came first in the canoe slalom and divers Jack Laugher

and Chris Mears won the synchronised three metre diving. There have been

three more bronze medals in men's shooting, cycling and women's judo.

And there are big hopes for Max Whitlock in the men's gymnastics.

From Rio, and the Swiss. Ready for the rush of his life. As a boy, Joe

Clarke first tried kayaking during a scout trip. Now as a 23-year-old

coming here he was at the Olympic final. Needs to be calm, settle into

that rhythm early. The aim: to negotiate the course and Gates as

quickly as possible. He wasn't a favourite but he duly powered and

pirouetted his way to the performance of his life. The time

could be beaten, it is! Ooh, sensational! Euphoria for his family

and a medal guaranteed. There were two competitors still to go. What

colour? The next paddler couldn't beat him, and amid extraordinary

tension, neither could the last. I'm absolutely made up and I can't quite

believe it. My words will probably come out in a big blur. Just bear

with me. It's an amazing feeling. That was just the start of an

extraordinary evening. Jack Laugher and Chris Mears in the synchronised

diving, best friends, housemates, could they really become gold

medallists? That put them into the lead with just the favourites China

to dive, and their nerve cracked. For the first time ever, Britain had

Olympic diving champions. Yet more celebrations. A quite stunning

performance on a stunning night. There was also success in the judo.

29-year-old Sally Conway from Edinburgh winning bronze and the

broadest of smiles. And another bronze in the shooting, the double

trap. Edging out fellow Briton Tim Neill. Earlier Britain's swimmers

were once again on the podium. Silvers for Siobhan-Marie O'Connor,

and for the men's freestyle relay team. But they, like everyone else,

couldn't get near this man. Michael Phelps, his 21st Olympic gold coming

barely an hour after his 20th as he thrillingly clung on in the 200

metres butterfly. My goodness, it's so close. Phelps has won! In the

last few years he's had this no problems, drink-driving ban, even in

rehab. But as he celebrated with his new baby, it was a return to the

glory days. But Olympics isn't just about the winners. 6-0 down to

Australia, Zimbabwe's women's football team scored before proving

that when it comes to well rehearsed celebration routines they are surely

the Olympic champions. For sporting drama, though, it's now all about

the gymnastics. The men's all-round final, Britain's Max Whitlock

bleeding after the first routine. After a glittering few hours for

Team GB, could vary yet be more? Yes, what a night it has been here

for Team GB. And the latest I can tell you from the gymnastics is that

Max Whitlock is in second place with just one routine left. Now, Britain

hasn't won a medal in this event for some 108 years, so if Whitlock could

win a medal, well, I would really bound off quite an extraordinary

night for Team GB. Certainly would. The cyclist Chris Froome backed the

first cycling medal of the games this afternoon, taking bronze in the

individual time trial. He had been hoping to emulate

Sir Bradley Wiggins by winning the Tour de France and Olympic

gold in the same year - Our sports correspondent

Natalie Pirks reports. It was the perfect day for surfing,

but less than ideal for cycling. Britain's riders would at least

feel at home, though. Well, Chris Froome won time trial

bronze in London, he is now hoping to emulate Bradley

Wiggins by winning the Tour de France and Olympic gold

in the same summer. Organisers called this

course a unique test. It was all about the riders pacing

themselves. But Froome was leaving

himself a lot to do. Has he managed to gain any time

on those in front of him? Beijing's gold medallist

Fabian Cancellara was motoring, On the final climb the three

times Tour de France winner would need to give everything

to be in with a chance of anything. Has Chris Froome got a big

finish in him, here? Cancellara finished strong

after a masterful ride. After the race, though, he told me

he's not disappointed to miss out. After the summer, winning the Tour

de France, that was our main objective, to be at our best there.

To come to the Olympics now, just to be here and to get a medal again

it's just an amazing experience. In the women's race, golden ending to a

golden career for American Kristin Armstrong. Her third Olympic time

trial gold in a row after two retirements and on the eve of her

43rd birthday. The perfect weight to bow out, beating a Russian drugs

cheat along the way. For Britain, the first cycling medal of these

games with hopefully more to come on the track.

Well, let's look at the medals table now. Team GB are marching up it, now

in ninth place with 11 medals overall. Including three golds.

Could there be another medal to night? Our sports editor joins us

from Rio and it's shaping up to be a great night for Team GB. Certainly

is. How quickly things can change. Up until 8pm your time Team GB, you

may have been forgiven for getting frustrated with how things were

going. They'd come fourth place, missing out on the medals, in six

different events. Names like Lizzie Armistead coming fifth, Chris Froome

today in the time trial coming third, perhaps they would have hoped

for more. But in two glorious hours everything seemed much improved. UK

Sport, who divides up the money to UK Sport, had ambitions for a wider

spread of medals this time round and that is exactly what's proving to be

the case. Adam peat in becoming Britain's Olympic champion in the

pool the other day, a first diving gold for the country as well. When

you consider that tomorrow there are equestrian events, rolling, track

cycling, sports Britain has done well in, in recent years, they will

have new-found hope of getting more medals in the next few days, and

it's actually a better haul than it was in London 2012 after day five.

More than 2 million people are trapped inside the Syrian Cito of

Aleppo as intense fighting continues between rebels and Syrian government

forces. Tonight the rebel forces, helped by Islamist groups, claimed

they had the upper hand and have rejected a UN call for a ceasefire.

The city is split between the rebel held east and the regime controlled

West. The BBC has gained exclusive access to the homes of those

suffering, and two fighters on the front line.

Our Middle East Correspondent Quentin Sommerville reports.

The fighting quickened here over the weekend.

In this neighbourhood, the shops and factories are gone.

Here there are only battlefields and front lines.

suffer from food shortages, we did not hear anything from the UN.

that dehumanises the railway, that takes staff off the platforms, off

the trains, out of the ticket offices and leaves the railway

The Transport Secretary came to Derbyshire to

announce a new railway investment programme.

For an industry, he said, that needed to modernise.

I'm very disappointed that the unions keep on calling strike

action over what always appear to be pretty minor matters.

Not to do with passengers, not to do with

This feels like an excuse to be militant.
