:00:24. > :00:27.COMMENTATOR: It's gold for Andy Murray. He beat Roger Federer in
:00:27. > :00:34.straight sets, putting last month's defeat against the world number one
:00:34. > :00:41.behind him. That was number one for me, biggest win of my life and this
:00:41. > :00:45.week's been incredible so far. COMMENTATOR: Ben Ainslie wins his
:00:45. > :00:53.fourth Olympic gold. He is the greatest sailor in the history of
:00:53. > :00:59.the Olympic Games. Gold for Ben Ainslie as the records tumble again.
:01:00. > :01:02.Britain revels in Team GB's Olympic success. As an engrossed nation
:01:02. > :01:08.celebrates an extraordinary new days, we ask what next for British
:01:08. > :01:12.sport. And today's other main news:
:01:12. > :01:22.Torrential rain brings flash flooding across England, Wales and
:01:22. > :01:34.
:01:34. > :01:37.Scotland, with warnings there could Good afternoon. Andy Murray has won
:01:37. > :01:42.his first Olympic Gold Medal, beating Roger Federer in the men's
:01:42. > :01:45.final in straight sets. His triumph comes a month after defeat at the
:01:45. > :01:52.hands of Federer at the Wimbledon championships. Murray said today's
:01:52. > :01:58.win was the biggest of his life. Joe Wilson was watching the match.
:01:59. > :02:03.So what did this mean to Andy Murray - redemgs? To revisit the
:02:03. > :02:06.scene of his most heart breaking defeat just four weeks ago. Whilst
:02:06. > :02:11.Roger Federer had been drained by his fight through the Olympics here,
:02:11. > :02:15.Andy Murray had exceled. It's not just the kit that's changed. Since
:02:15. > :02:25.he lost that Wimbledon final, maybe he lost his inhibitions too. First
:02:25. > :02:25.
:02:25. > :02:31.set to Murray 6-2. So the first set won in impressive style. I think
:02:31. > :02:34.everyone here realises this is now or never. Grand Slams will come and
:02:34. > :02:40.go, Andy Murray will never again have the chance to win the Olympics
:02:40. > :02:46.here on Centre Court. Second set Federer threw himself into it.
:02:46. > :02:51.Still Murray was better. The race to the set 6-1. Now it was his
:02:51. > :02:55.match, his Gold Medal to lose. This time he would let it slip. Roger
:02:55. > :02:59.Federer's made it clear he has huge respect for Murray. Equally he made
:02:59. > :03:04.it clear how much he wanted to be Olympic champion. Federer never
:03:04. > :03:08.stopped trying, but he was just warn down, 6-4 in the third,
:03:08. > :03:12.straight sets, simple. COMMENTATOR: It's a golden triumph
:03:12. > :03:15.for Andy Murray. Murray went directly to those who supported him
:03:15. > :03:20.through all the near misses. He said he was inspired watching
:03:20. > :03:26.theage lotics on Saturday night, caught up in the momentum. That was
:03:26. > :03:32.number one for me, the biggest win of my life and this week's been
:03:32. > :03:36.incredible so far. Had a lot of fun. The support's been amazing. There
:03:36. > :03:41.was a time when they said tennis had no place in the Olympic Games,
:03:41. > :03:48.but London 2012 turned Andy Murray into a true champion.
:03:48. > :03:52.And Joe Wilson is at Wimbledon now. This win clearly meant so much to
:03:52. > :03:56.Andy Murray. Yeah, absolutely. It meant an awful lot to him in the
:03:56. > :03:59.context of what happened four weeks ago, also meant a lot to him
:03:59. > :04:04.because he loves the Olympics so much. I was lucky enough to see
:04:04. > :04:08.Andy before the Games before it began, when he was full of the
:04:08. > :04:13.torch relay, obvious how enthused he was. It's not all over because
:04:13. > :04:21.right now on Centre Court, he is on court in the final of the mixed
:04:21. > :04:25.doubles with young Laura Roberts. There -- Laura Robson. Ben Ainslie
:04:25. > :04:28.has become the most successful sailor in the history of the Games,
:04:28. > :04:34.winning his fourth Olympic Gold Medal. He came first in the Finn
:04:34. > :04:38.Class in Weymouth. Dan Roan reports. Ben Ainslie prepared for the
:04:38. > :04:42.biggest race of his life with his status as a sailing legend assured.
:04:42. > :04:46.Now it was time to apply some gloss and become the most decorated
:04:46. > :04:52.Olympian in the sport's history. Danish leader, Jonas Hogh-
:04:52. > :04:56.Christensen, stood in his way. Ainslie was ready to launch his bid
:04:56. > :05:00.for glory. Another race was already under way. Iain Percy and Andrew
:05:00. > :05:03.Simpson were expected to defend their title in the star competition,
:05:03. > :05:08.but the British could only manage silver after losing out to Sweden
:05:08. > :05:12.in the last few metres. Well the British pair in the star class
:05:12. > :05:19.couldn't manage gold, now, it's time for Ben Ainslie. Can he
:05:19. > :05:25.deliver? With thousands of supporters crammed onto Weymouth's
:05:25. > :05:30.peninsula roaring him on, Ainslie knew he needed to finish ahead of
:05:30. > :05:35.Hogh-Christensen. The tactics of his rival angered him earlier in
:05:35. > :05:39.the week. While the pair tuftled at the back of the fleet the only
:05:39. > :05:43.other contender climbed to second and on course for gold.
:05:43. > :05:48.COMMENTATOR: It could not be more tense. At the last turn came the
:05:48. > :05:52.final twist, the Dutchman slipped back and Ainslie took his chance.
:05:52. > :05:55.COMMENTATOR: The crowds are about to cheer because Ben Ainslie wins
:05:55. > :06:01.his fourth Olympic gold! He is the greatest sailing Olympian in the
:06:01. > :06:04.history of the Games. Ainslie had finished ninth, having beaten the
:06:04. > :06:08.distraught Hogh-Christensen that was good enough for another gold,
:06:08. > :06:12.the fourth of a remarkable career and almost certainly his last.
:06:13. > :06:17.be veryer is prized if you see me in Rio. This is the best way to
:06:17. > :06:21.leave on top. A home Olympics, you'll never get better than that.
:06:21. > :06:26.British sailing has never seen anything quite like this before.
:06:26. > :06:31.This historic achievement ensures Ainslie takes his place amongst the
:06:31. > :06:39.rarest of Olympians who transcend the sport they've mastered.
:06:39. > :06:47.Coming up - Olympic fever. As Britain reflz in medal success,
:06:47. > :06:51.will it make any difference to sport in schools and clubs?
:06:51. > :06:54.First the day's other news, torrential rain has led to flash
:06:54. > :06:58.floods in southern Scotland, Newcastle, Wales and north Somerset,
:06:59. > :07:01.with forecasters warning there may be more to come. Dozens of homes
:07:01. > :07:07.were flooded at Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders. This report from
:07:07. > :07:11.Andrew Plant. Shoppers on this Scottish High Street this morning
:07:11. > :07:18.stopping to watch the water pouring past. The scale of the flooding
:07:18. > :07:22.filmed by a passer-by. Many in the market town of Jedburgh had used
:07:22. > :07:27.sandbag to protect their property. Still the water found its way
:07:28. > :07:31.inside. The flooding thigh high in places, meaning some had to be
:07:31. > :07:36.rescued from their homes. Police still on stand by here, forecasters
:07:36. > :07:42.say the rain is set to last until tomorrow morning.
:07:42. > :07:46.In Somerset, fire and rescue teams had 80 calls from the town of
:07:46. > :07:49.Nailsea alone. Residents here laying down lines of defences.
:07:49. > :07:54.was just torrential rain, like you've never seen really. The
:07:54. > :07:59.drains couldn't cope with it. They just overflowed. In Wales, the
:07:59. > :08:05.heavy rain closed roads and railway lines. In London, the women's
:08:05. > :08:12.marathon was run in the wet. The downpour not stopping spectators or
:08:12. > :08:16.slowing Ethiopia's Tiki Gelena from setting a new Olympic record.
:08:16. > :08:21.Seven amber warnings for rain are still in place across the north,
:08:21. > :08:28.the Midlands, Wales and the south- west. The Met Office is warning the
:08:28. > :08:34.public to be on their guard for the pobltd of more localised flooding.
:08:34. > :08:39.The number of forthed passports detected at ports and airports
:08:39. > :08:44.cross the UK has almost halved in the past five years. Figures show
:08:44. > :08:50.that border officials spotted just over 1800 forgeries last year. Some
:08:50. > :08:53.say the drop is down to job cuts, but the Border Agency insists that
:08:53. > :08:58.passports are more difficult to forge.
:08:58. > :09:03.The Syrian government says 20,000 soldiers are in and around Aleppo
:09:03. > :09:08.preparing for an assault against rebel fighters. Jets, helicopter
:09:08. > :09:12.gunships and heavy weapons are already being used. In Damascus,
:09:12. > :09:15.the government officials say they have retaken the last rebel strong
:09:15. > :09:20.hold. More now on London 2012. The scale
:09:20. > :09:24.of Team GB's success has surpassed many expectations. Today has been a
:09:24. > :09:28.day of celebration for yesterday's six Gold Medallists. Jessica Ennis
:09:28. > :09:32.says she planned to relax, eat lots of rubbish food and have a few
:09:32. > :09:37.glasses of wine. Who can blame her? Jon Kay is in Hyde Park, where
:09:37. > :09:40.there's been a touch of Murray- mania. Jessica Ennis has been here
:09:40. > :09:44.in the last few minutes to address the tens of thousands of people
:09:44. > :09:47.who've gathered here to congratulate her. She showed off
:09:48. > :09:52.her Gold Medal. She reiterated she's looking forward to the wine
:09:52. > :09:55.and said she slest with the medal right next to her last night. She
:09:55. > :09:58.doesn't want it out of her sight. The organisers always hoped that
:09:58. > :10:05.these big free events would have a party atmosphere during the
:10:05. > :10:08.Olympics. I think it's safe to say, they have now.
:10:08. > :10:17.This is what Sebastian Coe's dreams have looked like for the last seven
:10:17. > :10:22.years. In Central London, another gold and the sunshine to match. In
:10:22. > :10:30.the last few days, Team GB has got a lot, lot bigger. How good is it
:10:30. > :10:35.to be British right now? Amazing. Come on Murray! Fabulous! It's not
:10:35. > :10:41.just this weekend, it's the whole of the Olympics. I can't, I'm proud
:10:41. > :10:46.to be absolutely British. Suddenly things look different. In Jessica
:10:46. > :10:50.Ennis' city of Sheffield, a golden post box to mark her heptathlon
:10:50. > :10:56.medal. That feel-good factor has really come back again. I've not
:10:56. > :11:03.seen it for such a long time now. Mo Farah's gold last night was
:11:03. > :11:08.another remarkable moment. In the BBC commentary box impartiality was
:11:08. > :11:12.momentarily swept aside. In East London, where Farah grew up,
:11:12. > :11:15.they had an extra spring in their step this morning, after the man
:11:15. > :11:21.they see training in the park won Olympic gold on his doorstep.
:11:21. > :11:25.Amazing! Absolutely amazing. I lost my voice. I was screaming like a
:11:25. > :11:29.lunatic. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. We run seven-and-a-half
:11:29. > :11:33.miles and passed people on the road and everyone was saying, you know,
:11:33. > :11:37.good morning, an everyone's happy and Mo won last night. Everyone is
:11:37. > :11:41.in the spirit. It's a wonderful feeling. There is a serious point.
:11:41. > :11:45.The British Olympic Association says if we're to keep going like
:11:45. > :11:51.this, we need to capitalise on the golden bounce. Let's use the
:11:51. > :11:54.momentum that is created so much inspiration in this country to
:11:54. > :12:01.create practical opportunities in schools, clubs, local communities
:12:01. > :12:05.for kids to get into sport and stay in sport. In Andy Murray's home
:12:05. > :12:09.town of Dunblane, the big win they've been waiting for.
:12:09. > :12:16.Echoed across the UK. The Government hopes these scenes will
:12:16. > :12:20.inspire a lasting legacy, where people keep playing sports for life.
:12:20. > :12:24.In other words, the challenge is to get us out of our arm chairs or
:12:24. > :12:27.standing up if we're in the middle of a park and doing it rather than
:12:27. > :12:30.just watching it. It might be quite a challenge there are more
:12:30. > :12:35.arguments to come about investment and how we will pay for those
:12:35. > :12:39.programmes, but certainly, from this giant living room as people
:12:39. > :12:44.watch here, it's a sense of let's enjoy the moment, celebrate success
:12:44. > :12:48.and frankly, look forward to the nex one.
:12:49. > :12:52.Some of the day's other highlights. Team GB's Louis Smith came
:12:52. > :12:56.agonisingly close to winning a Gold Medal in the gymnastics. He
:12:56. > :13:00.received an identical overall score to the Hungarian Gold Medallist on
:13:00. > :13:05.the Pommel Horse. He had to settle for silver because the score for
:13:05. > :13:09.how he executed his routine was lower.
:13:09. > :13:12.His team-mate Max Whitlock produced a pristine routine to clinch bronze.
:13:12. > :13:18.It's the first time the British gymnasts have won two medals in the
:13:18. > :13:20.same event at the Olympics. And in the Tennis - Venus and
:13:20. > :13:23.Serena Williams have become the first tennis players to win four
:13:23. > :13:31.Olympic gold medals each. The Williams sisters beat their Czech
:13:31. > :13:33.competitors in the women's doubles final 6-4, 6-4. Where does today's
:13:33. > :13:43.sporting action leave the medal sporting action leave the medal
:13:43. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:54.Tonight, the action moves back to the athletics track where Usain
:13:54. > :13:57.Bolt is hoping to retain his title as 100m champion. He will face
:13:57. > :14:02.strong competition from Joe han Blake and the Americans. Christine
:14:03. > :14:09.Ohuruogu is hoping to retain her Olympics title. James Pearce is
:14:09. > :14:12.trackside. These are among the most anticipated competitions of the
:14:12. > :14:16.Olympics. Tonight would be normally the biggest night of the Olympics.
:14:16. > :14:19.But last night was glorious. It can't be repeated. All around the
:14:19. > :14:22.Olympic Park inside the stadium now, where the doors have just opened
:14:22. > :14:27.and it's starting to fill up, people are trying to catch their
:14:27. > :14:30.breath, let eenormity of what happened inside the stadium last
:14:30. > :14:34.night sink in. In terms of British interest tonight, there won't be
:14:34. > :14:39.three British gold medals here, but there is plenty of British interest.
:14:39. > :14:42.Christine Ohuruogu, the defending champion in the women's 400 m.
:14:42. > :14:46.She's struggled to find her best form since that Gold Medal winning
:14:46. > :14:50.performance. Over the past few weeks she has started to show
:14:50. > :15:00.glimpses of her very best form. She suddenly is in with a medal chance
:15:00. > :15:00.
:15:00. > :15:07.in that final this evening. Also in the women's triple jump, look out
:15:07. > :15:11.for Emile Adayma. She is here at the Olympics representing Team GB.
:15:11. > :15:15.She actually became the world indoor champion in the triple jump
:15:15. > :15:20.earlier this year. She'll be going for a medal of any colour, in
:15:20. > :15:25.particular, that gold that Greg Rutherford won in the long jump
:15:25. > :15:29.last night. Of course, the 100m has to be the event everyone's talking
:15:29. > :15:32.about, the blue-riband event, the four fastest men in the world,
:15:32. > :15:37.including Usain Bolt. Can he hang onto his title?
:15:37. > :15:41.Thank you. Well that's all from us now. The
