:02:21. > :02:24.The Rio Games came to a spectacular close last night, as Brazil handed
:02:25. > :02:27.over the baton to the next hosts, Tokyo.
:02:28. > :02:34.From Rio here's our sports editor, Dan Roan.
:02:35. > :02:45.Rio certainly went out with a bang. Its farewell to the Olympics as
:02:46. > :02:49.spectacular as the sport which prescreeded it. Team GB lit up these
:02:50. > :02:54.Games, turning up for last night's Closing Ceremony in red, white and
:02:55. > :02:58.blue flashing shoes. They'd earned the right to party, after their best
:02:59. > :03:03.Olympics for more than a century. This evening, leaving here, having
:03:04. > :03:08.exceeded all expectations. To be able to fly home, the medals in our
:03:09. > :03:12.pockets that make us the most successful team ever, it's just
:03:13. > :03:16.something that we couldn't have predicted. When we flew out, we had
:03:17. > :03:20.hoped it, dreamed it. But the fact it's happened is amazing for
:03:21. > :03:23.everyone. Team GB surpassed their record breaking performance at
:03:24. > :03:28.London 2012, the first of their remarkable haul of 67 medals was won
:03:29. > :03:33.by Adam Peaty and the swimmer says they can do even better in Tokyo in
:03:34. > :03:36.four years. The swimming team now is very young, so we're only going to
:03:37. > :03:41.get stronger than this. Now I'm going to work hard to make sure we
:03:42. > :03:45.can carry the momentum as well as we've done now. This evening members
:03:46. > :03:51.of Team GB were in high spirits at Rio airport, as they prepared to fly
:03:52. > :03:54.home. As in 2012, they'll return to a heroes' welcome. They received
:03:55. > :03:57.congratulations today from the Queen and many athletes are thought to be
:03:58. > :04:02.in line for honours in recognition of their achievements. The man who
:04:03. > :04:06.led the team here in Rio told me that Tokyo would be tougher still.
:04:07. > :04:10.You'll have a stronger Japanese team on home turf, compared to Brazil,
:04:11. > :04:12.across more sports. You'll have China, for various reasons,
:04:13. > :04:17.political reasons, wanting to do really well on their doorstep in
:04:18. > :04:23.Japan. We know they'll be strong. This squad is a developmental team
:04:24. > :04:26.going through to that. You'll have a full Russian delegation and
:04:27. > :04:30.resurgent Australia. It will be tougher. But we have the talent
:04:31. > :04:38.there. Rio officially handed over to Tokyo
:04:39. > :04:43.last night. Japan's Prime Minister making a surprise appearance,
:04:44. > :04:48.disguised as popular video game character Super Mario. For British
:04:49. > :04:50.sport the task of achieving another glorious Games begins now. Dan Roan,
:04:51. > :04:52.BBC News, Rio. The swimwear firm, Speedo USA,
:04:53. > :04:54.has ended its sponsorship deal with the American swimming star,
:04:55. > :04:57.Ryan Lochte, after the athlete lied about being robbed at gunpoint
:04:58. > :05:02.during a drunken night out in Rio. Lochte has made several apologies,
:05:03. > :05:04.but three companies have now ended their sponsorship
:05:05. > :05:07.agreements with him. Speedo said it could not condone
:05:08. > :05:10.the swimmer's actions and will instead donate part
:05:11. > :05:14.of his fee to charity. Well, Rio 2016 ended spectacularly,
:05:15. > :05:19.but the Games were certainly not without their problems -
:05:20. > :05:21.played out against a backdrop of huge economic turmoil,
:05:22. > :05:25.political unrest as well as anger from many at the amount
:05:26. > :05:27.of money spent on them. And the big question -
:05:28. > :05:30.as always with the Olympics - what will their legacy be
:05:31. > :05:33.for the host country? Our Brazil correspondent,
:05:34. > :05:37.Wyre Davies, reports. As Rio said goodbye to the Olympics,
:05:38. > :05:43.a moment to take it all in. For the last two weeks,
:05:44. > :05:46.the city has put its many problems to one side,
:05:47. > :05:48.but they're problems and divisions that can't simply be discarded
:05:49. > :05:52.and forgotten about. The Olympic champion
:05:53. > :05:56.in your home country... The power of sport as a force
:05:57. > :05:59.for change was typified by Rafaela Silva, Brazil's first
:06:00. > :06:04.gold of the games. A woman from one of Rio's
:06:05. > :06:06.toughest neighbourhoods, amazed by her own achievement
:06:07. > :06:13.and optimistic about what it meant. TRANSLATION: If my medal can help
:06:14. > :06:17.persuade people that the Games are good for Brazil,
:06:18. > :06:22.they're not always of money and they have improved
:06:23. > :06:25.the image of the country, Rio certainly felt like a more
:06:26. > :06:30.confident, safer place during the Olympics,
:06:31. > :06:33.but this is what it took to guarantee the security
:06:34. > :06:36.of tourists and athletes. There have been almost
:06:37. > :06:39.unprecedented levels of security Literally thousands of heavily armed
:06:40. > :06:45.soldiers on the streets. While they've kept many parts of Rio
:06:46. > :06:48.safe for the last two weeks, elsewhere, things have
:06:49. > :06:52.continued just as normal. Almost every day, before
:06:53. > :06:56.and during the Games, there were heavy shootouts
:06:57. > :07:01.between police and the gangs that It was particularly bad here in this
:07:02. > :07:06.sprawling community within sight A community almost untouched
:07:07. > :07:13.by the Games. TRANSLATION: For us,
:07:14. > :07:16.they may as well have taken place We didn't see any investment or any
:07:17. > :07:31.improvement in the community. But the Olympics did serve
:07:32. > :07:33.as a catalyst to transform some New infrastructure and previously
:07:34. > :07:39.no-go areas revitalised, already Brazil and Rio in particular bet
:07:40. > :07:46.on the cycle of events as a way of pushing forward a certain model
:07:47. > :07:49.of development, a certain model I don't think it benefitted
:07:50. > :07:57.the majority of the population. There are challenges ahead, not
:07:58. > :08:00.least the forthcoming Paralympics. City and state coffers are almost
:08:01. > :08:04.bare, but the so-called marvellous Staging the Olympics was by no means
:08:05. > :08:19.easy for Brazil at times. What impact will their experience
:08:20. > :08:31.have on the Olympic movement? I think if you'd told organisers at
:08:32. > :08:35.the IOC and locally three weeks ago how Rio 2016 would pass off, they
:08:36. > :08:39.would certainly have accepted that. They'd have settled for it. In the
:08:40. > :08:44.immediate term, the Olympic movement will be feeling great relief, as
:08:45. > :08:48.Wyre said in his report. These were the first Games to be staged in
:08:49. > :08:52.South America, they took place in a country going through political
:08:53. > :08:56.upheaval, economic recession. There were concerns over security, over
:08:57. > :08:59.Zika, over pollution, given all that, there's a sense that Rio
:09:00. > :09:03.really got away with it. It could have been a great deal worse than it
:09:04. > :09:06.was. Having said all that, there were difficulties, of course,
:09:07. > :09:09.unforeseen costs, which have impacted the Paralympics, which
:09:10. > :09:13.begin here in around two weeks. They've had to be pared back. There
:09:14. > :09:18.was trouble with security, empty seats as well. Because of that all,
:09:19. > :09:21.Rio could be a water shed moment. It will force the IOC to consider
:09:22. > :09:26.whether or not the Games going forward have to be cheaper, smaller,
:09:27. > :09:29.less of a burden, certainly when it comes to places like this. There's
:09:30. > :09:34.no sign of that, after all, five new sports have just been added to the
:09:35. > :09:38.programme for Tokyo 2020. But maybe the IOC will have to decide whether
:09:39. > :09:41.or not it wants to be a little less ambitious, go to places which
:09:42. > :09:45.represent less of a risk. I think also, given the great doping scandal
:09:46. > :09:49.that dominated the build up to the Games, the IOC have to work out how
:09:50. > :09:53.to restore faith and trust in the integrity of their sports. Despite
:09:54. > :09:58.all of those concerns going forward, and the questions the IOC have to
:09:59. > :10:02.grapple with, one thing's certain - for millions watching around the
:10:03. > :10:05.world on television, Rio 2016 will always be associated with a
:10:06. > :10:08.spectacular back drop and captivating sport. It will be
:10:09. > :10:10.particularly fondly remembered back in Britain, of course. Dan Roan, in
:10:11. > :10:12.Rio, thank you. The Justice Secretary, Liz Truss,
:10:13. > :10:15.says measures to tackle the growing threat of Islamist extremism
:10:16. > :10:17.in jails in England and Wales The Government has announced plans
:10:18. > :10:22.to segregate what it calls the most dangerous Islamist
:10:23. > :10:24.prisoners from other inmates, in a bid to stop the
:10:25. > :10:27.spread of extremism. But prison reformers say
:10:28. > :10:29.there should also be a focus on safeguarding vulnerable inmates
:10:30. > :10:32.at risk of being radicalised. Among the most infamous Islamist
:10:33. > :10:40.extremists now incarcerated in Britain are Anjem Syed Choudary,
:10:41. > :10:43.found guilty last month of supporting so-called
:10:44. > :10:46.Islamic State, Abdulla Ahmed Ali, who led a failed Al-Qaeda plot
:10:47. > :10:50.to blow up multiple passenger jets over the Atlantic,
:10:51. > :10:54.and the 21 July bombers, who tried to attack London
:10:55. > :10:59.two weeks after 7/7. They're just a few of
:11:00. > :11:02.the men who could spread We know it happens, men
:11:03. > :11:08.who converted in jail include Richard Reid,
:11:09. > :11:10.the shoebomber, and Nathan Cuffy, who unknowingly supplied the gun
:11:11. > :11:13.for a failed Islamic State The new Justice Secretary told me
:11:14. > :11:20.it was now time to keep the worst There is a risk there of those
:11:21. > :11:25.highly subversive individuals being able to collaborate
:11:26. > :11:28.with each other. That's why we're talking
:11:29. > :11:31.about a number of small units rather than a single,
:11:32. > :11:34.larger unit, which has been tried in the past,
:11:35. > :11:36.and where there have The idea is to create a set of
:11:37. > :11:52.prisons, within prisons, special units inside high security
:11:53. > :11:53.jails like Belmarsh, where a few of the worst extremists
:11:54. > :11:56.can be kept completely isolated from the rest of the
:11:57. > :11:58.prison population. Jamal, not his real name,
:11:59. > :12:01.spent two years in prisons, including Belmarsh, where he saw
:12:02. > :12:03.young, violent criminals and drug dealers being quickly radicalised
:12:04. > :12:06.by a hard core of extremists. There is an Islamic movement
:12:07. > :12:09.in prison and it's not an Islamic movement based on the beautiful
:12:10. > :12:11.virtues of Islam, no, it's an Islamic movement based
:12:12. > :12:14.upon bullying and based upon protection and
:12:15. > :12:18.based upon violence. Dal Babu, previously a senior London
:12:19. > :12:22.police officer an a Muslim, warns special units for extremists
:12:23. > :12:28.are a risky solution. The danger is if you put
:12:29. > :12:31.people into one unit, The danger is these individuals
:12:32. > :12:38.want to become the individuals that It's very dangerous that we have
:12:39. > :12:43.these individuals there. Prisons are full of vulnerable
:12:44. > :12:46.people. We want to try and ensure that those
:12:47. > :12:49.vulnerable people do not get seduced Beyond the proposed special units,
:12:50. > :12:54.all prison staff will get further But there are no plans to set up
:12:55. > :13:00.special units in Scottish prisons, where Islamist extremism is not seen

:26:47. > :26:53.when IS volunteers stormed museums in Mosul, in 2014, they smashed
:26:54. > :26:59.anything they believed was idolatrous. Now it is being pushed
:27:00. > :27:05.back everywhere. Timbuktu is free of extremism as well now. In court
:27:06. > :27:12.today, the prosecutor explained why these cultural things matter. They
:27:13. > :27:14.are relics of a great chapter in humankind's intellectual and
:27:15. > :27:21.spiritual development on the continent. That is what gave
:27:22. > :27:24.Timbuktu its standing in the world. Now, at last, Timbuktu can rebuild
