:10:01. > :10:09.The scale of the task shines brightly below. Mosul, the so-called
:10:10. > :10:16.Islamic state's Iraqi stronghold is a city of over 1 million people. It
:10:17. > :10:20.is two years since IS swept across Syria and Iraq, even threatening
:10:21. > :10:25.Baghdad. That brought back British soldiers who are helping to get
:10:26. > :10:29.ready for the attack on Mosul. Major General Rupert Jones says Iraqi
:10:30. > :10:34.forces will make the move within the month. Everything in Mosul is the
:10:35. > :10:39.final battle. It is the important battle, it is the capital of the
:10:40. > :10:43.so-called caliphate in Iraq. They are an adaptable organisation, so
:10:44. > :10:48.the question is how they adapt as they are squeezed out of the
:10:49. > :10:53.population centres. British and American troops are bringing
:10:54. > :10:59.firepower and training. But Iraqis will do the fighting and they are on
:11:00. > :11:05.a winning streak. Two years ago, it was quite different. They dropped
:11:06. > :11:11.their weapons and ran as IS advance. But now fully jet is the latest big
:11:12. > :11:15.city to be cleared of the militants. This weekend, the first families

:11:43. > :11:48.rooms were ransacked. But Phil Ujah fell early and the family fled in a
:11:49. > :11:52.rush. Much is how they left it. As bad as things worse for people here,

:18:48. > :18:52.beat the 120 medals they won in London 2012. They have done it in
:18:53. > :18:55.some style. Amid the celebrations, this was a day that began on a very
:18:56. > :18:59.sombre note. As fans arrive for the final
:19:00. > :19:01.day of competition the Paralympic flag and
:19:02. > :19:02.the Iranian national tribute to the death of an athlete
:19:03. > :19:16.whose death has shocked the sporting The tragedy cast a shadow over the
:19:17. > :19:20.remaining events, including the wheelchair marathon where there was
:19:21. > :19:24.more frustration for David Weir. This incident left him with a
:19:25. > :19:27.damaged chair and he leaves Rio without a medal. But such
:19:28. > :19:32.disappointment has been rare for Britain. In the final swimming

:20:25. > :20:28.disability is perceived here and has it changed the daily lives of

:20:39. > :20:44.Rio. Today, he's going to try and get me to the top of his city, but
:20:45. > :20:52.it doesn't look easy. Do you do that at home? Yes. It is very simple. I
:20:53. > :20:56.last saw Carlos one year before the Paralympics game to Rio. Have you
:20:57. > :21:03.seen the change? They have started to change, but they have a long way
:21:04. > :21:08.to go. But people have woken up for this. The people of Brazil have
:21:09. > :21:13.taken to the Paralympics. Over 2 million tickets were sold, making it
:21:14. > :21:20.the most successful games outside of London. Sarah Storey. For
:21:21. > :21:24.Paralympics GB, they have had a record-breaking games, but it is
:21:25. > :21:28.more than that. People are starting to understand, it's not about this
:21:29. > :21:33.ability, it is about athletes who happen to have an impairment. I am
:21:34. > :21:37.incredibly proud to be part of something that is so enormous. But
:21:38. > :21:44.as the competition comes to an end, thoughts turn to legacy. Can the
:21:45. > :21:49.achievement of elite athletes have an impact on the daily lives of
:21:50. > :21:53.disabled people? I think we do that, through sport. We cannot rely on the
:21:54. > :21:59.sex of The Games and say, they were really successful and everyone in
:22:00. > :22:04.society will change like that. But at one change is the introduction of
:22:05. > :22:10.an accessible bus system. But in a city where only 22 of 122 train
:22:11. > :22:14.stations are fully accessible, it is still a difficult place to get
:22:15. > :22:17.around. There was never any doubt Rio's back drop would be
:22:18. > :22:24.sensational, but there was doubt as to whether the city could hold such
:22:25. > :22:29.an important sporting event. But the Carlos, it was the right decision.
:22:30. > :22:39.Look at that. Paralympics is very important to show how difficult
:22:40. > :22:42.things are. Sometimes you'll ask for rights, nobody cares. The main
