:00:31. > :00:32.Sir Bradley and the cycling pursuit team set the world
:00:33. > :00:36.Team GB now sits third in the medal table.
:00:37. > :00:42.Sir Bradley Wiggins, a knight of the realm
:00:43. > :00:51.He becomes the most decorated British Olympic athlete of all time.
:00:52. > :00:55.The man who does things his own way, but he could not do this alone.
:00:56. > :00:57.With Ed Clancy, Owain Doull and Steven Burke, he had
:00:58. > :00:59.already broken the world record in qualifying.
:01:00. > :01:04.Now they need something even more special.
:01:05. > :01:07.Australia into the lead, but this is a British team that
:01:08. > :01:21.It is coming down to the last lap, will it be Britain or Australia?
:01:22. > :01:23.It certainly will be Great Britain and in a world-record time!
:01:24. > :01:26.The last 12 months we have pretty much done everything together,
:01:27. > :01:29.early morning starts at the track, late finishes at the track before
:01:30. > :01:32.For Jazz Carlin, this has been a Games to remember.
:01:33. > :01:40.Already one silver medal won, now a chance to get on the podium again.
:01:41. > :01:42.But against the American Katie Ledecky, who already had three
:01:43. > :01:44.golds from these Games, this was perhaps always
:01:45. > :01:58.Still, that was a race Carlin was winning.
:01:59. > :02:00.Ledecky breaking her own world record, Carlin a second
:02:01. > :02:04.Sometimes the most magical moments are those that are least expected.
:02:05. > :02:06.Britain has never won an Olympic medal in trampolining,
:02:07. > :02:09.but here was Bryony Page, writing her own piece of history.
:02:10. > :02:11.A sport that requires leaps higher than two double-decker buses,
:02:12. > :02:15.Page was now reaching heights that no British woman had before.
:02:16. > :02:20.This routine catapulted her to the top of the leaderboard.
:02:21. > :02:22.Now all she could do was wait and watch.
:02:23. > :02:25.Only Canada's Rosannagh MacLennan could do better.
:02:26. > :02:33.Bryony Page is an Olympic silver medallist!

:02:51. > :02:52.There are few sports more eagerly anticipated the start
:02:53. > :02:56.Perhaps a disappointment there were not more inside to see
:02:57. > :02:59.it, but, for British fans, there was plenty in the heptathlon
:03:00. > :03:01.Jessica Ennis-Hill, the Olympic champion,
:03:02. > :03:04.The 100 metre hurdles, one of Ennis-Hill's strongest events,
:03:05. > :03:06.put her into the lead, but in Katarina Johnson-Thompson,
:03:07. > :03:09.she has a British rival that can push her all the way.
:03:10. > :03:12.Her clearance of 1.98 metres, a new British record.
:03:13. > :03:15.If it is to be a battle between these two, the 200 metres
:03:16. > :03:20.Johnson-Thompson's win leaving her in fourth.
:03:21. > :03:22.Ennis-Hill once again leads the field going
:03:23. > :03:26.Another winner from that fabled Super Saturday
:03:27. > :03:35.He did just enough to qualify for the long jump final.
:03:36. > :03:40.We have Jessica standing there, and Kat bringing up the rear,
:03:41. > :03:46.With another Super Saturday in store, Sir Bradley Wiggins may
:03:47. > :03:49.just have started a weekend of British sporting success.
:03:50. > :03:57.There's a chance of more medals in the velodrome later today.
:03:58. > :04:09.Is it going to be a super Saturday? It could well be, Gavin. After that
:04:10. > :04:13.historic night for Sir Bradley Wiggins and the men's team pursuit,
:04:14. > :04:18.the women's team pursuit go for gold today, they are the defending
:04:19. > :04:23.champions from London 2012. Also hopes for Becky James in the key
:04:24. > :04:29.ring. As you say, a huge day in the athletics, could it be another super
:04:30. > :04:33.Saturday, could history repeat itself? Jessica Ennis-Hill leading
:04:34. > :04:37.the heptathlon at the halfway stage, Greg Rutherford through to the long
:04:38. > :04:42.jump final, albeit after something of a scare, and Mo Farah in the
:04:43. > :04:46.10,000 metres. It could be another very special night for team GB Inbee
:04:47. > :04:51.athletics. We also see Usain Bolt for the first time here in Rio, he
:04:52. > :04:55.goes in the heat of the 100 metres. More British medal hopes in the
:04:56. > :05:03.roving, the men's and women's aid, both with medal chances, and Michael
:05:04. > :05:06.Phelps will be hoping to round off his extraordinary career with a 23rd
:05:07. > :05:08.Olympic title in the pool. Andy, thanks very much.
:05:09. > :05:10.The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, has promised
:05:11. > :05:13.to guarantee EU funding for farmers and scientists after
:05:14. > :05:16.The move could cost up to ?4.5 billion a year,
:05:17. > :05:19.but it will only apply to projects agreed before the Autumn Statement,
:05:20. > :05:24.Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier joins me now.
:05:25. > :05:31.How significant is all this? You will remember farmers and scientists
:05:32. > :05:35.have been worried that the money they get from the EU might disappear
:05:36. > :05:39.once Britain leaves the EU. Today they are being told anything that is
:05:40. > :05:43.an EU funded project signed off ahead of the Autumn Statement,
:05:44. > :05:47.normally around November, will not lose out financially. The bill will
:05:48. > :05:51.effectively be picked up by the taxpayer. If you are a farmer
:05:52. > :05:55.getting direct funding from the EU, that has been guaranteed by the
:05:56. > :05:59.Treasury until 2020. Many affected groups have welcomed the news,
:06:00. > :06:03.saying it provides a much-needed short-term certainty but there are
:06:04. > :06:07.big questions and concerns over the long-term future of the funding. The
:06:08. > :06:12.point of today's announcement was to try to boost the economy in what
:06:13. > :06:16.could be a very difficult time, economically, post-Brexit vote in
:06:17. > :06:20.June. Remember, if economic growth is lower than expected, it means
:06:21. > :06:24.less money coming into the Treasury, and much harder and harder decisions
:06:25. > :06:27.for the Chancellor to make. Eleanor, thanks very much.
:06:28. > :06:30.The father and ex-husband of a woman from Bradford who was killed
