:01:35. > :01:40.triumphant day for Team GB with Britain winning the most gold
:01:40. > :01:44.medals in a day, six, for over a century. This evening the athletics
:01:44. > :01:49.stadium has seen a string of golds. Jessica Ennis has stormed to
:01:49. > :01:54.victory in the women's heptathlon, there was gold for Mo Farah and
:01:54. > :01:59.gold in the long jump for Greg Rutherford. Britain's rowers
:01:59. > :02:04.confirmed dominance in the water -- on the water and more gold in the
:02:04. > :02:07.velodrome. First glory for Jessica Ennis. Here's our sports editor
:02:08. > :02:12.David Bond. The biggest day of her life and possibly the biggest
:02:12. > :02:18.moment of these Games. Jessica Ennis is the face of London 2012.
:02:18. > :02:23.At last, we would find out if she could live up to the billing. After
:02:23. > :02:31.a brilliant first day, Ennis led the heptathlon overnight. But day
:02:31. > :02:38.two has often let her down. Not today. The 26-year-old butt
:02:38. > :02:41.recent concerns about her long jump to one side to produce the distance
:02:41. > :02:45.she needed to stay ahead of the field. With the first big test
:02:45. > :02:51.cleared, now it was time for her achilles heel. A year ago, the
:02:51. > :02:59.javelin lost her the World Championship title. This time she
:02:59. > :03:03.set a personal best. She threw 47. 49 metres, a rewards for months of
:03:03. > :03:12.specialist work on the discipline. As evening fell the stage was set
:03:12. > :03:17.for the kind of night which makes the Games so special. She started
:03:17. > :03:22.the 800m with a cushion of 188 points. All she had to do now was
:03:22. > :03:27.get round safely. Ennis hit the front early, but the others caught
:03:27. > :03:37.her up on the final bend. To a Devoning roar, she put the
:03:37. > :03:38.
:03:38. > :03:43.burners on. -- -- deafening roar, she put the burners on.
:03:43. > :03:48.COMMENTATOR: Here comes Jess! The pride of Sheffield, the pride of
:03:48. > :03:53.Great Britain, Jessica Ennis is the Olympic champion. At the end she
:03:53. > :03:57.seemed in shock, unable to take in what she had achieved. Then sheer
:03:57. > :04:02.delight took over. British fans have seen success on the water and
:04:02. > :04:05.two wheels and on the shooting range, but the start of a gold rush
:04:05. > :04:09.in athletics in the main Olympic Stadium, well, that could take
:04:09. > :04:14.these Games to a whole different level all together. I am so shocked.
:04:14. > :04:18.I can't believe it. After the javelin, I knew I was on for a good
:04:18. > :04:25.score and a medal. But I couldn't let myself believe it until I
:04:26. > :04:29.crossed the finish line in the 8hment I -- 800m. All the hard work
:04:29. > :04:34.and the disappointment of Beijing and everyone's supported me so much.
:04:34. > :04:39.I'm so happy. We've had plenty of time to get used to this smile over
:04:39. > :04:48.the last few years. After tonight, the posters of London's poster girl
:04:48. > :04:51.are going to get even bigger. Just minutes after that victory
:04:51. > :04:55.from Jessica Ennis cheers rang out again in the Olympic Stadium behind
:04:55. > :05:03.me, as Britain's Greg Rutherford took gold in the long jump. Then
:05:03. > :05:06.another gold for Mo Farah in the 10,000m. James Pearce was watching.
:05:06. > :05:13.Some British champions are predicted in advance. Others are
:05:13. > :05:17.pleasant surprised. COMMENTATOR: Oh, it's big! Greg
:05:17. > :05:21.Rutherford's always had the potential. His jump of 8.21 earlier
:05:21. > :05:25.in the competition was the first sign he was coming good when it
:05:25. > :05:32.mattered most. He knew if he was to win gold he might well need to jump
:05:32. > :05:36.further. That was 8.31 and extended his lead. Rival after rival fell
:05:36. > :05:42.bit wayside, until only the American was left with a chance to
:05:43. > :05:45.beat him. The jump was a foul. Team GB had yet another Olympic champion.
:05:45. > :05:49.Greg Rutherford Gold Medallist. This is what I've dreamt of my
:05:49. > :05:53.entire life. I knew I was going to be a sportsman. When I picked
:05:53. > :05:57.athletics I knew I wanted to be Olympic champion. I get to do it in
:05:57. > :06:06.London. Could Mo Farah make it three gold medals in the stadium in
:06:06. > :06:13.one extraordinary evening? That's the kind of thing that happens to
:06:13. > :06:17.Team GB in a velodrome, not athletics. No British runner's ever
:06:17. > :06:23.run the Olympic 10,000m title. None has had a better chance than Mo
:06:23. > :06:27.Farah, cheered on by a home crowd, already celebrating British success.
:06:27. > :06:31.Farah was running the perfect tactical race. As he came off the
:06:31. > :06:36.last bend, he was in the lead and in control. He just had to dig deep
:06:36. > :06:41.and hold on. He made it look easy. COMMENTATOR: Mo Farah, for Great
:06:41. > :06:49.Britain, it's gold! This was quite simply the greatest night in
:06:49. > :06:53.Britishage lotics history, as one - - British history, as one champion
:06:53. > :06:59.left the arena, another one celebrated. If you love sport,
:06:59. > :07:03.you'll remember where you were August 4, 2012.
:07:03. > :07:09.Our Sports Editor David Bond is in the Olympic Stadium. There we are
:07:09. > :07:12.David, Saturday the 4th, an amazing day for Team GB. We're running out
:07:13. > :07:17.of superlatives to run up these Games. In the last few moments I
:07:17. > :07:20.should tell you that Jessica Ennis has received her Gold Medal here,
:07:20. > :07:25.huge roar from the crowd, which waited behind to see that moment.
:07:25. > :07:29.Not a dry eye in the house. That's because it's been such an
:07:29. > :07:33.incredible night, an historic night for British athletics. Never before
:07:33. > :07:37.have they won three Olympic Gold Medals in one night. And you know,
:07:37. > :07:41.each of the stories in their own way were truly extraordinary.
:07:41. > :07:46.Jessica Ennis, the poster girl and face of London 2012. Greg
:07:46. > :07:51.Rutherford, really the surprise of the evening. Then Mo Farah becoming
:07:51. > :07:54.the first British man to win the 10,000m in the Games. One of the
:07:54. > :07:58.big questions coming into the London Games was how would our
:07:58. > :08:01.athletes do in the marquee sports. We knew they were good at sailing
:08:01. > :08:05.and rowing and cycling, but how would they deliver on the biggest
:08:05. > :08:09.stage of all. Well, there were prediction that's could be a new
:08:09. > :08:15.golden era for track and field, but it's certainly been a golden night.
:08:15. > :08:22.Thank you. Rowing also saw dramatic victories
:08:22. > :08:27.with Britain successfully defending the title in the men's four and
:08:27. > :08:33.women's Lightweight Double Sculls. The men's double skulls team won
:08:33. > :08:35.silver. It took the total to seven, making it the most successful
:08:36. > :08:39.Olympics of modern times. Andy Swiss reports from Eton Dorney.
:08:39. > :08:49.British rowing has seen some golden days, but never has it shone as
:08:49. > :08:51.
:08:51. > :08:55.brightly as this. It began with the men's four. Stroke by stroke, they
:08:55. > :08:59.edged clear. Australia clung on desperately. But a wall of noise
:08:59. > :09:04.roared them home. COMMENTATOR: Great Britain, the
:09:04. > :09:10.Olympic champions once more! Andrew Triggs-Hodge, Tom James,
:09:10. > :09:13.Pete Reed and Alex Gregory it was perfection. It took four years to
:09:13. > :09:19.make that, four years training every day, pulling everything we
:09:19. > :09:22.had for that. It was without question our finest piece. What an
:09:22. > :09:26.incredible few days this has been for Britain's rowers. This is
:09:26. > :09:32.already their best Olympics for more than a century and the medals
:09:32. > :09:35.just keep on coming. Just moments later, Katherine
:09:35. > :09:39.Copeland and Sophie Hosking, they'd only been together a few months,
:09:39. > :09:42.surely this was too soon? On the grandest stage of all, they rowed
:09:42. > :09:47.the race of their lives. COMMENTATOR: An incredible,
:09:47. > :09:55.incredible skull. A second gold in just 20 minutes. It was almost too
:09:55. > :10:04.good to be true. I can't believe this is real. We just won. Yeah, I
:10:04. > :10:07.don't know. We just won the Olympics. Now for the hat-trick,
:10:07. > :10:11.Olympic champions Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter. The race was stopped
:10:11. > :10:16.when Purchase's seat broke. Second time round they led almost the
:10:16. > :10:19.entire way, but agonisingly they welcome back pipped by Denmark.
:10:19. > :10:27.Rarely has silver been so little consolation. We gave everything. We
:10:27. > :10:32.tried everything. We wanted to win so badly. We're just... Sorry to
:10:32. > :10:36.everybody we've let down. You've let nobody down.
:10:36. > :10:40.But it was a day when the tears were largely of joy, the final
:10:40. > :10:50.total of nine medals, the best ever for Britain's rowers, a glorious
:10:50. > :10:52.end to an unforgettable week. The rest of the Olympics news
:10:52. > :10:59.including gold for British cyclists later in the programme. First,
:10:59. > :11:02.today's other news. Rebels in Aleppo say they're coming
:11:02. > :11:06.under heavy air and ground fire as government forces try to break
:11:06. > :11:09.through their positions. Fierce fighting is reported to be
:11:09. > :11:19.continuing in Damascus. This report from Richard Galpin on the Syrian
:11:19. > :11:20.
:11:20. > :11:26.border. A Syrian fighter jet apparently in action over Aleppo
:11:26. > :11:32.today. In this unverified amateur video. There's no doubt the battle
:11:32. > :11:36.for this crucial city is now intensifying with helicopters also
:11:36. > :11:42.being used frequently by government forces. Many civilians are still
:11:42. > :11:49.trying to get out whenever they can. They fear an all-out assault by the
:11:49. > :11:53.army and Air Force, following the arrival of reinforcements. But more
:11:53. > :11:59.rebel fighters are also preparing to join the battle, knowing it
:12:00. > :12:04.could be a tipping point in the conflict. Also today, heavy
:12:04. > :12:10.fighting in several districts of the capital Damascus. The rebels
:12:10. > :12:15.here, as in Aleppo, holding out much longer than expected. Just
:12:15. > :12:21.outside the city, UN observers have been inspecting what's alleged to
:12:21. > :12:25.be a mass grave. Around 35 people killed by government troops earlier
:12:25. > :12:34.this week, according to opposition activists. But the government
:12:34. > :12:38.denies it. Watching is all the UN can do in Syria. Even though it's
:12:38. > :12:43.now estimated this fighting has been killing up to a thousand
:12:43. > :12:53.people a week. The UN Security Council can still not agree on how
:12:53. > :12:53.
:12:53. > :12:58.to end the bloodshed. A man arrested in connection with
:12:58. > :13:03.the murder of Carole Waugh has been charged tonight with four counts of
:13:03. > :13:06.conspiracy to commit fraud. Nicholas David Kutner was detained
:13:06. > :13:09.earlier this week. Ben Ando is at Sutton Police Station in Surrey.
:13:09. > :13:13.What's the background to all this? 50-year-old Carole Waugh
:13:13. > :13:17.disappeared in April and since then, police have been looking for her,
:13:17. > :13:21.investigating her background. On Thursday, her body was discovered
:13:21. > :13:25.hidden in a lock-up garage not far from here in New Malden. It was the
:13:25. > :13:28.news her family feared. The police knew she worked as an oil executive.
:13:28. > :13:31.But they found out she led something of a double life. Going
:13:31. > :13:35.on the internet looking for dates and possibly working as a
:13:35. > :13:38.prostitute. On Tuesday a man was arrested at Luton airport and
:13:38. > :13:43.questioned on suspicion of murder. This evening that man, 47-year-old
:13:43. > :13:48.Nicholas David Kutner was charged with fraudulently impersonating
:13:48. > :13:52.Carole Waugh's brother, two counts of fraudulently trying to rent her
:13:52. > :13:54.home and trying to steal money from her bank account. He's in custody.
:13:54. > :14:00.He'll face magistrates via videolink on Monday.

:14:12. > :14:18.Amid the euphoria of Britain's two golds here last night, the fine
:14:18. > :14:21.form of the women's pursuit team was overshadowed. Tonight, Laura
:14:21. > :14:26.Trott, Dani King and Hans Kristian Rausing proved the sport will have
:14:26. > :14:30.more female faces after Victoria Pendleton retires. The trio were
:14:30. > :14:34.untouchable. By the end they had their American opponents in their
:14:34. > :14:38.sites, as emphatic a victory as they could have dreamed of.
:14:38. > :14:42.COMMENTATOR: Great Britain win the Olympic title. I knew we could do.
:14:42. > :14:46.It just 12 laps of the track as fast as we can. We did a world

:14:52. > :14:55.last 48 hours, it seems that track cycling is the new rock-and-roll.
:14:55. > :15:01.It's a sign of how much success in the sport this country's had that

:15:19. > :15:28.penalty shootout to South Korea in Cardiff and are out of the
:15:28. > :15:32.competition. Elsewhere, the sprinter Usain Bolt has started his

:15:35. > :15:41.defending champion had a slow start but was soon into his running

:15:45. > :15:49.retiring, the American swimmer Michael Phelps won the 4x 100m
:15:49. > :15:55.medley with his team-mates. It makes him the most successful

:18:27. > :18:33.there were heavy showers dotted around. Most of those have begun to
:18:33. > :18:37.fade away. But not for all parts. Parts of Wales, the south-west of

:18:54. > :18:58.take long for big shower clouds to develop. There will be heavy down
:18:58. > :19:01.pours. A chance of a few showers for the sailors at Weymouth and
:19:01. > :19:06.Portland. But it's the winds which will make the seas chopy and make

:19:13. > :19:16.further between. You can't rule out the odd shower in and around the
:19:16. > :19:20.London area. The main risk for the heavy, potentially torrential down
:19:20. > :19:23.pours is through the Midlands, parts of Wales. Into northern
:19:23. > :19:27.England and southern Scotland too. Northern Ireland is a better bet
