:00:57. > :01:03.The supremacy in this sport has been built on the men's coxless
:01:03. > :01:12.four. It was one of the most closely fought events. It turned
:01:12. > :01:22.into a two boat race. Australia tried to respond but the leaders
:01:22. > :01:25.
:01:25. > :01:30.dug into their reserves of energy well and was soon to get better.
:01:30. > :01:36.Attention turned to the lightweights. Sophie Hoskins and
:01:36. > :01:43.Kat Copeland up a new combination but it did not show. They overtook
:01:43. > :01:50.Greece and eventually won in style. This is the first Olympic gold
:01:50. > :01:59.medal in this category. I cannot believe it is real, that we just
:01:59. > :02:05.won. I do not know. We'd just won the Olympics. Mark Hunter and Zac
:02:05. > :02:09.Purchase's efforts got off to an unusual start. After some emergency
:02:10. > :02:15.repairs the race was started. They compose themselves and built the
:02:15. > :02:19.lead. Denmark fought back and took gold by the finest of margins.

:03:32. > :03:38.seen perhaps the biggest name of all at the Olympics - Usain Bolt
:03:38. > :03:45.lining up for the 100 metres. It was not the spectacular performance
:03:45. > :03:52.but it is only the first round. He won his heat and that is all he had
:03:52. > :03:57.to do. The final is tomorrow. A bit of history created this morning.
:03:57. > :04:03.Oscar Pistorius became the first Paralympic athlete to become an
:04:03. > :04:09.Olympic athlete. He did really well as well in the first round of the

:04:25. > :04:27.In other news: There has been more heavy shelling and gunfire in
:04:27. > :04:31.Syria's capital, Damascas, with reports that rebel fighters have
:04:31. > :04:33.been largely driven out of the city. It follows a resolution from the
:04:33. > :04:39.United Nations General Assembly condemning the Government's use of
:04:39. > :04:44.heavy weapons. Richard Galpin reports from the Syrian border.
:04:44. > :04:49.Along the border with Syria, the Turkish military is taking up
:04:49. > :04:54.defensive positions. More hardware arriving this week as the situation
:04:54. > :05:00.gets increasingly chaotic inside Syria. The Turkish government fears
:05:00. > :05:07.a power vacuum on the Syrian side of this border. It also fears a
:05:07. > :05:13.huge influx of refugees from the fighting in the biggest city in
:05:13. > :05:18.Syria - Aleppo. It is 50 miles from here. Up to 600 people are already
:05:18. > :05:24.crossing the border into Turkey every day. Despite this, the United
:05:24. > :05:28.Nations is still in disarray. Yesterday's resolution of the
:05:28. > :05:35.General Assembly criticised the use of a heavy weapons in Syria. It has
:05:35. > :05:39.been condemned by Russia, which continues to support President
:05:39. > :05:46.Assad. TRANSLATION: Today's resolution is
:05:46. > :05:52.harmful. It undermines political settlement. We believe it is
:05:52. > :05:58.unacceptable and an attempt to turn back the mandate of the special
:05:58. > :06:03.envoy. With fighting also raging in the capital, Damascus, the chances
:06:03. > :06:07.of the two sides reaching a peaceful settlement seemed almost
:06:07. > :06:12.non-existent. Instead, the rebels have spread their uprising across
