Members of the Rooney clan lived a life of luxury, | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
while their workers were paid little or nothing at all. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Police described the conditions some of their captives had to live | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
They were living in caravans that were dirty. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Many had to use the wood as a toilet and some | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
were living in stable blocks, with animals. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
The convictions come after one of the biggest ever investigations | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
His advisors are pursuing diplomacy, but President Trump maintains | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
America is "locked and loaded", ready to deal with North Korea. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |

from the London Stadium, and the rest of the | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
11 people from one family in Lincolnshire have been convicted | :01:23. | :01:48. | |
of involvement with a modern day slavery ring. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
It follows one of the biggest police investigations of its kind. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
The Rooney family ran a driveway resurfacing company, | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
and targeted vulnerable homeless people as workers. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
But their victims were paid little or no wages, and suffered punishment | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
They were also housed in squalid conditions that detectives described | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Our correspondent Judith Moritz reports | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Fathers, sons, cousins across the generations, | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
11 members of one family, whose cruelty has | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
The Rooneys were the masters - this is where they kept their slaves. | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
They were forced to live in these caravans in squalor | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
and in filth, conditions not fit for human habitation. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Whilst those who controlled them lived in comfort and luxury. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
The Rooneys had many victims, including this man, whose | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
interview has been re-voiced to protect his identity. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
I've been on and off the streets for years, drugs and alcohol. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
I haven't seemed to be able to get settled. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Sometimes I have flashbacks, and, you know what I mean, | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
The Rooneys were flashy with their money, going on holidays | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
to Barbados and paying for cosmetic surgery. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
By stark contrast, the 18 men they kept as slaves lived | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
One man was held for quarter of a century. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Patrick Rooney was one of those posing as a respectable | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
But in reality, the family used slave labour, forcing vulnerable men | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
One customer, who has asked not to be identified, | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
They weren't treated as civilised at all. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
They were treated as if they were subhumans. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
There was no machine to strip the old tarmac off, nothing. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
And it was extremely hard work for them, I'll give them that. | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
They didn't have any breaks, anything. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
All they got was we made them a few cups of tea, | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
They were delighted to get a cup of tea, because I knew | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
and they knew that they weren't going to get anything else. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
In contrast, the family lived lavishly. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
This expensive funeral for one relative showing their wealth. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
In the local Lincolnshire community, it didn't go unnoticed. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
The people they were preying on were the most vulnerable. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
They made a lot of money out of them, and the stories | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
I was hearing about big wodges of cash. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Bringing the 11 family members to book has taken several years. | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
The police needed to win the trust of victims, | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
The clothes they were wearing were terrible. | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
When we took them to the reception centre, one individual used | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
an entire bottle of shampoo to make himself feel clean. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
To how they are now, in employment, going to college, they're reunited | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
It's absolutely heart-warming and amazing to see the transformation, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
They preyed on the homeless and the desperate, offering | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
But there was no dignity in this - only lives exploited and destroyed. | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
President Trump tonight further ramped up the rhetoric | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
Concerning their nuclear and ballistic missile programme, he said | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
Kim Jong-un would truly regret it and regret it fast, if Pyongyang | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
took any military action against America or its allies. Mr Trump had | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
already tweeted that the US was locked and loaded, if North Korea | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
chose to act unwisely. Russia and Germany have called for both sides | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
to calm. From Washington, our correspondent Nick Bryant reports. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
After fire and fury comes "locked and loaded" - | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
not the title of some Hollywood summer blockbuster, | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
but the words of America's commander in chief, | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
describing his country's state of military readiness. | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
These are the latest pictures of B-1 bombers stationed in Guam, | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
the motto of this squadron - "Fight tonight." | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
President Trump reminded people of that | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
He's deploying social media to fire off warning salvos. | :06:27. | :06:36. | |
"Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
Hopefully, Kim Jong-un will find another path." | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
And again tonight he wrapped up the rhetoric even further with this | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
verbal broadside aimed at the North Korean leader. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
This man will not get away with what he's doing, believe | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
And if he utters one threat in the form of an overt threat, which, | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
by the way he has been uttering for years and his family have been | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
uttering for years, or if he does anything | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
anyplace else that an American territory | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
or an American ally, he | :07:13. | :07:13. | |
As the government of Japan deployed missile interceptors to guard | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
against North Korean rockets, international leaders essentially | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
I'm firmly convinced that an escalation | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
of rhetoric will not contribute to a solution of this conflict. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
TRANSLATION: When a fight has nearly broken out, | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
the first step away from that dangerous threshold should | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
be taken by the side that is stronger and smarter. | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
Amidst this verbal brinkmanship, it's emerged the Trump | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
administration has been secretly talking to North Korea | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
about Americans in prison there, and deteriorating relations. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
The news came as America's Defence Secretary emphasised diplomacy. | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
You can see the American effort is diplomatically led, | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
it has diplomatic traction, it is gaining diplomatic results. | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
And I want to stay right there, right now. | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
The tragedy of war is well enough known. | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
It doesn't need another characterisation beyond the fact | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
Holiday-makers on Guam, the island North Korea has | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
threatened with missiles, still seem unfazed. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
It would take just 14 minutes for a North Korean missile to reach them. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
But amongst the beach reading this morning, | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
a fact sheet from the Guam government, warning not | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Nick, is there a strategy underpinning President Trump's tough | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
rhetoric? I think this week we've seen a pattern. I'm not sure you can | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
describe it as a deliberate strategy. It's this. You get these | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
incendiary warnings from Donald Trump, using alliterative language. | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
This that has been improvisational at times and has taken his A by | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
surprise at times. From other members of this administration you | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
have seen more measured language, language that focuses on diplomacy. | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
It's worth pointing out at this very moment Donald Trump is meeting his | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
top two diplomats, his US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and his UN | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
ambassador Nikki Haley. There's been an element of good cop, bad cop. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
It's also reminded some people of what President Richard Nixon used to | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
call the madman theory. New plant in the mind of your adversary the | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
notion that you are unpredictable, that you are volatile, that you are | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
willing to do anything, that you are willing to take the military option, | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
in order to frighten them in order to make them back down. Now, there | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
are some mainstream Republicans who think that makes sense. But there | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
are others who think that is very dangerous, because one | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
miscalculation, one mistake, one act of misplaced bravado, and you could | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
have a war. Nick Bryant, thank you, at the White House. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
The steel company Tata has been given the go-ahead | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
to separate its UK pension scheme from the rest of the business, | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
which will help tens of thousands of the firm's workers. | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
Staff voted earlier this year to accept less generous pensions, | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
in return for investment to secure jobs. | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
The move is expected to clear the way for a possible merger | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
Our correspondent Wyre Davies reports now from Port Talbot. | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
Tata Steel had warned for years that its UK business was under | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
threat and it wanted to radically reduce pension benefits to workers | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
or face the prospect of having to close it Port Talbot plant. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
For months, employees who stood to lose thousands of pounds | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
from their retirement plans, have been meeting to | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
All of a sudden you're coming to the end of your working life, | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
you have two years left and you have to work another seven years | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
in order to get what you've worked your entire life | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
for without any penalties, and they feel cheated. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
You think you're going to be secure when you're 60, 65, | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
and now they've taken that away from you. | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
The ?15 billion British Steel pension scheme is one | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Around 130,000 members will be affected and the new plan would see | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
current owners Tata paying ?550 million into the | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
The scheme will also get a stake of one third of Tata's UK business | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
Workers who sign up to today's proposal will have | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
Other options include transferring into a personal pension scheme. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Or they can stay with the old British Steel | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
scheme, which is backed by the Pension Protection Fund, | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
and that's the really controversial part, because that's normally only | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
available to companies that have gone out of business. | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
The Pension Protection Fund is there to protect the members, | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
not the companies themselves, so I think the issue that everyone | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
has is why should they be allowed to join the PPF, | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
because the liability is with Tata Steel worldwide, | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
which has plenty of cash, as we know. | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Although this agreement does protect workers' pension plans, | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
it also makes the company, Tata Steel, much more attractive | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
And with the German steel giant ThyssenKrupp waiting in the wings, | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
there will be renewed concerns about future job losses and even | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
closures at some UK steel plants, including Port Talbot. | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
The German firm says it wants to consolidate | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
European steel-making, but industry experts say Port Talbot | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
I think the immediate future for workers in Port Talbot | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
Port Talbot has restored its competitiveness. | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
It's been helped by the exchange rate of the pound | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Port Talbot has been synonymous with steel-making for 70 years, | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
and although only one fifth of the once 20,000 strong | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
workforce still work here, today's deal on pensions should | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other news stories. | :13:13. | :13:25. | |
A man has been told he'll serve at least 20 years in prison | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
for murdering his brother, and attempting to murder | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
his brother's girlfriend on New Year's day. | :13:31. | :13:45. | |
Blair Logan, who's 27, admitted killing Cameron Logan. | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
Nearly 20 countries have now reported finding eggs | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
contaminated with the pesticide Fipronil, which can damage | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
Four UK supermarkets have removed egg products from their shelves, | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
although it is only dangerous in high doses. | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
Lawyers representing a man - arrested in relation | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
to the Putney Bridge jogger investigation - have categorically | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
denied that he was involved in the incident. | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
Eric Bellquist was detained by police trying to find a man | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
who pushed a woman in front of a bus. | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
He says he can prove that he was in America at the time. | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
The results of the Kenyan presidential election have | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
just been announced, with the incumbent | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
President Kenyatta taking 54% of the vote, | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
and the main opposition candidate Raila Odinga winning 44%. | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
The President's critics say the election was rigged, | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
but as our Africa correspondent Alastair Leithead reports, | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
monitors say the poll was largely free and fair. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Uhuru Kenyatta's supporters knew this was coming. | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
Preliminary results had given their man an unassailable lead. | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
But first there was an electoral process to follow - | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
The result from every county had to be read out, | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
before the moment the nation had waiting for. | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
I wish to declare Uhuru Kenyatta as President-elect. | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
After three days of holding their breath, Kenyans have now | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
had confirmation that Uhuru Kenyatta will have a second term in office | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
The question now is how the opposition will react in defeat, | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
Will they challenge it in the courts? | :15:30. | :15:39. | |
Before the results were even released the opposition alliance | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
had walked out, repeating allegations | :15:47. | :15:47. | |
I think this has been an entire charade. | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
They had run a parallel counting centre and claimed discrepancies. | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
That the election commission commuter was hacked, | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
President Uhuru Kenyatta stepped up to acknowledge his victory | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
and spoke about unity, ten years on from the terrible | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
I extend the hand of partnership, knowing fully well that this country | :16:09. | :16:20. | |
needs all of us pulling together in order for us to succeed. | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
These were the scenes in the stronghold of the losing | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
candidate Raila Odinga in western Kenya earlier in the day. | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
There have already been a few clashes in the slums of Nairobi. | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
The fear is these ugly, if isolated protests could spread | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
if the opposition decides to call its people | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
Tonight Kenya is still holding its breath. | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
Three men have been jailed, for turning an underground | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
nuclear bunker designed for the Army into the "largest cannabis | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
factory to be found in the south of England". | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
One received eight years, the other two were sentenced to five. | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
All three admitted conspiracy to produce drugs, after several | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
thousand cannabis plants with an estimated street value | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
Hidden beneath the wooded hills of Wiltshire, | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
even today, the bunker remains a secretive, subterranean world. | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
Its old antenna and air vents the only sign of its existence. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
But five metres below ground this Cold War sanctuary was transformed | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
This was where 4000 cannabis plants were found, spread over two floors. | :17:32. | :17:45. | |
The men behind it were Martin Fillery, Plamen Nguyen, | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
and Ross Winter, who were jailed today, for admitting conspiracy | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
Police say using the nuclear bunker, once owned by the Ministry | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
of Defence, meant the gang could exploit its | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
This was a highly organised operation, and of course the nuclear | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
bunker provided that level of security and covertness | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
A secret headquarters for regional government | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
150 officials could survive here for a month. | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
They found everything from a big-screen TV, to a fish tank. | :18:24. | :18:36. | |
And all with the home comforts of an underground world | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
where the underworld could go to ground. | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
The gang even bypassed the mains meter, ripping-off ?650,000 | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
All to keep the cannabis growing and drying around the clock. | :18:47. | :18:57. | |
In fact, they thought this facility would provide them with the perfect | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
Well, first of all you can't see it from the road. | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
And the complex itself can be locked up. | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
They managed to keep this place a secret for three years. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
It was only when the gang inadvertently opened the doors | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
the police were able to finally get in and reveal the industrial scale | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
One now consigned, like its Cold War setting, to history. | :19:22. | :19:29. | |

The Premier League is back, with Arsenal hosting Leicester City | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
at the Emirates Stadium tonight, in a seven goal thriller. | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss was watching. | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
It is back on Friday, an unprecedented start to the Premier | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
League season, but for the fans, that familiar question, could this | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
be their year? Amid the summer spending splurge, Arsenal splashed | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
out 50 million this man, AlexLacazette, and it took 94 | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
seconds to show why. That is what you call making and impact. A dream | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
start for him and the hosts -- Alexandre Lacazette. Leicester hit | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
back. Shinji Okazaki with the equaliser as Arsenal's old frailties | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
returned to haunt them. Soon the foxes were in front, Jamie Vardy | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
lashing at home. On the stroke of half-time, Danny Welbeck levelled it | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
up. Four goals in 45 minutes. Welcome back. In the second half | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
Arsenal delivered, Vardy did not. 3-2, four Arsene Wenger the summer | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
break a distant memory. But then the craziest of comebacks. Aaron | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
Ramsey's flawless finish gave the Gunners hope. Moments later Olivier | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
Giroud created an extraordinary turnaround. 4-3 to Arsenal. The rest | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
of the season has some act to follow. Yes, as curtain raisers | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
though, that was something pretty special. A chaotic clash. Arsenal | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
fans for one night at least are on top of the Premier League table. | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
Thank you. And the Swiss at the Emirates. | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
With just two full days left of the World Athletics Championships | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
in London, British athletes narrowly missed out on another medal tonight, | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
with Dina Asher-Smith finishing fourth in the 200m. | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
It means Sir Mo Farah's gold is the sole medal | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
As Natalie Pirks reports, UK Sport's target of between | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
Instead, the enduring images of these championships | :21:43. | :21:54. | |
from a British perspective, have been of tears and heartbreak. | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
You are measured in medals and Mo may end up being our only gold | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
medallist, maybe double gold medallist, but he is leaving | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
Five years on from London, when you think about legacy, | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
you'd have to say probably it's not great. | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
A spin and heave. The Hammer does not look the most sophisticated of | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
disciplines but Nick Miller is pretty good at it. His third throw | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
took him briefly into silver medal contention. But his final throw went | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
nowhere. That face of dejection all too familiar. And there was more | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
disappointment to come. This long jump did not quite go to plan | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
tonight. This was all she could manage. So that is that, another | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
medal opportunity gone for Great Britain. It seems they cannot get | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
the luck they need right now. Last night, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
was the latest Briton to come forth in his event, | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
making up a club of the oh so close. Just inches separated | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
the likes of Kyle Langford Nevertheless, it now means UK | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
Sport's target of six to eight Especially with Greg | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
Rutherford injured. It's very, very difficult | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
to win medals in athletics Now, other sports, and especially | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
with Olympic sports that win a lot of gold medals, | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
it doesn't take anything away from their achievements, | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
but there's not as many people or countries that participate, | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
so this is arguably the hardest sport in the world to win | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
major titles in. Dina Asher-Smith carried Jessica | :23:39. | :23:52. | |
Ennis-Hill's it at the London Olympics. Tonight she carried the | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
crowd's hopes. She broke her foot in February and only started running | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
again in June. And Dina Asher-Smith four. Of course, it was for yet | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
again, but this was quite an achievement. We have had loads of | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
fourth that at same time, loads of those have been people who are so | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
young with a decade in them. They may not have got a medal today but | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
they will be the ones to watch in championships to come. Experiences | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
like this will eventually bring the reward she deserves. | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
Our sports editor Dan Roan is at the stadium for us tonight. | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
Close but no cigars. That is right. I think it inevitable but when a | :24:44. | :24:52. | |
body like UK athletics is in receipt of public money from UK sport and | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
yet only has one medal from eight days of home championships to show | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
for it, there will be some kind of inquest. Having said that, British | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
Athletics are putting a positive spin on this. There have been plenty | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
of fourth place finishes and top eight finishes from some very | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
promising athletes. And with the long-term target of the 2020 Tokyo | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
Olympics that bodes well. And it could improve with the relay and so | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
Mo Farah in the final days. There is a growing fear that success in | :25:24. | :25:35. | |
recent games may have papered over some cracks when it comes to the | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
coaching structure in the sport domestically, and an over defendants | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
on the likes of Sir Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
Rutherford may be overexposed. There could be consequences of the funding | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
cut if it stays like this. If it is tough now, it will only get tougher | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
when the band Russian team are back. Indeed, thank you. | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
