Good afternoon, it has been another triumph for morning for Team GB's | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
Rovers, who have won the two wore gold medals, the men's four | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
defeated Australia, and Katherine Copeland and Sophie Hosking won the | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
women's lightweight double sculls. The men's team were beaten, they | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
:00:53. | :00:57. | ||
The supremacy in this sport has been built on the men's coxless | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
four. It was one of the most closely fought events. It turned | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
into a two boat race. Australia tried to respond but the leaders | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
:01:22. | :01:25. | ||
dug into their reserves of energy well and was soon to get better. | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
Attention turned to the lightweights. Sophie Hoskins and | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
Kat Copeland up a new combination but it did not show. They overtook | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
Greece and eventually won in style. This is the first Olympic gold | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
medal in this category. I cannot believe it is real, that we just | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
won. I do not know. We'd just won the Olympics. Mark Hunter and Zac | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
Purchase's efforts got off to an unusual start. After some emergency | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
repairs the race was started. They compose themselves and built the | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
lead. Denmark fought back and took gold by the finest of margins. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Their campaign ended in disappointment. Their hosts can | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
:02:29. | :02:32. | ||
still reflect on a regatta for of Team GB is third in the overall | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
:02:42. | :02:42. | ||
The USA is top with 21 gold medals and China is in second place with | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
20. On the athletics track, James Pearce is at trackside for us now. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
Not too bad in long jump but jack leant and another discipline to | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
:03:05. | :03:06. | ||
come as well. -- Chapel End. Let's have a look at the best long jump | :03:06. | :03:16. | |
:03:16. | :03:27. | ||
lead. Two more events to there. -- go. In the past few minutes we have | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
seen perhaps the biggest name of all at the Olympics - Usain Bolt | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
lining up for the 100 metres. It was not the spectacular performance | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
but it is only the first round. He won his heat and that is all he had | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
to do. The final is tomorrow. A bit of history created this morning. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
Oscar Pistorius became the first Paralympic athlete to become an | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Olympic athlete. He did really well as well in the first round of the | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
poor hundred metres. He is safely through to the semi-finals. -- 400 | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
metres. Not such good news in a triathlon with Helen Jenkins | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
:04:24. | :04:25. | ||
In other news: There has been more heavy shelling and gunfire in | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Syria's capital, Damascas, with reports that rebel fighters have | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
been largely driven out of the city. It follows a resolution from the | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
United Nations General Assembly condemning the Government's use of | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
heavy weapons. Richard Galpin reports from the Syrian border. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Along the border with Syria, the Turkish military is taking up | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
defensive positions. More hardware arriving this week as the situation | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
gets increasingly chaotic inside Syria. The Turkish government fears | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
a power vacuum on the Syrian side of this border. It also fears a | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
huge influx of refugees from the fighting in the biggest city in | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
Syria - Aleppo. It is 50 miles from here. Up to 600 people are already | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
crossing the border into Turkey every day. Despite this, the United | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
Nations is still in disarray. Yesterday's resolution of the | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
General Assembly criticised the use of a heavy weapons in Syria. It has | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
been condemned by Russia, which continues to support President | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Assad. TRANSLATION: Today's resolution is | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
harmful. It undermines political settlement. We believe it is | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
unacceptable and an attempt to turn back the mandate of the special | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
envoy. With fighting also raging in the capital, Damascus, the chances | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
of the two sides reaching a peaceful settlement seemed almost | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
non-existent. Instead, the rebels have spread their uprising across | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
all major cities, tying down government troops in a series of | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
Detectives have said that the oil executive, Carole Waugh, whose body | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
was found in a garage in South London, had suffered a single stab | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
wound. Carole Waugh was last seen alive in April. Her body was found | :06:29. | :06:33. |
