Team GB moves up to second in the medal table in Rio,

:00:08.:00:10.

after an evening of stunning successes.

:00:11.:00:14.

Max Whitlock makes history - winning Britain's first ever Olympic

:00:15.:00:26.

He then won a second, in the pommel horse.

:00:27.:00:29.

For hours and hours in the gym, years and years, and you get

:00:30.:00:33.

about one minute to show what you have been working on.

:00:34.:00:35.

To do it today, Olympics Games, I don't know what to say,

:00:36.:00:38.

And 112 years since golf was last played in the Olympics,

:00:39.:00:42.

And in the past few minutes Jason Kenny has won gold

:00:43.:00:51.

New video, appearing to show the kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls,

:00:52.:01:03.

is released by the Islamist group Boko Haram.

:01:04.:01:08.

More bad blood between Jeremy Corbyn and his deputy - in advance

:01:09.:01:11.

And Pakistan win the fourth and final Test at Lords,

:01:12.:01:16.

It has turned into Super Sunday at the Olympics in Rio.

:01:17.:01:43.

In the space of about an hour this evening, Britain won three gold

:01:44.:01:46.

medals, pushing Team GB to second place in the medal table.

:01:47.:01:49.

Max Whitlock won the men's floor exercise to take Britain's first

:01:50.:01:52.

ever Olympic gold in gymnastics - he then went on to win a second gold

:01:53.:01:55.

The third gold came in golf, with a two-shot victory

:01:56.:02:04.

s just in the last few minutes Jason Kenny has won a gold in the men's

:02:05.:02:16.

cycling sprint. There is at least one more medal to

:02:17.:02:20.

come for Andy Murray, he is playing in the men's tennis final right now.

:02:21.:02:25.

We begin tonight with all the latest on the gymnastics from our sports

:02:26.:02:29.

A moment comes when careers are defined.

:02:30.:02:37.

Max Whitlock. When Max Whitlock's arrived it was

:02:38.:02:43.

historic for an entire nation. . . Where others faltered on the floor

:02:44.:02:49.

he was immaculate. Impeccable. Flawless. He needs to land this

:02:50.:02:56.

tumble. His score of 15.633 wouldn't be

:02:57.:02:59.

bettered. And Max Whitlock has made his

:03:00.:03:02.

history. A silver and bronze for Brazil

:03:03.:03:08.

proved popular here too. But after carrying the weight of British

:03:09.:03:12.

gymnastic hopes for so long, the union flag must have felt so light

:03:13.:03:15.

upon his shoulders. Wow. This is an historic moment for

:03:16.:03:22.

British gymnastics. The first ever Olympic champion in the sport, and

:03:23.:03:26.

his best event, the pommel horse is yet to come.

:03:27.:03:31.

Max Whitlock had an hour off to come back down-to-earth.

:03:32.:03:38.

Simone Biles used that to vault herself into the stratosphere. She

:03:39.:03:42.

makes the impossible not only look possible but easy, that is gold

:03:43.:03:47.

number three of a possible five. So to the pommel where Britain's

:03:48.:03:51.

domination is extraordinary. Louis Smith was the silver medallist in

:03:52.:03:56.

London who inspired a generation of youngsters to see that gymnastics

:03:57.:03:59.

could be cool. He here his routine was enough to take the lead and

:04:00.:04:04.

guarantee a medal. But then came wit lock. Commonwealth

:04:05.:04:09.

champion, European champion, world champion and now double Olympic

:04:10.:04:14.

champion. Smith unable to hide his devastation

:04:15.:04:20.

at silver but his sport thanks him, they will have put British gymnastic

:04:21.:04:25.

on the map For hours and hours you get about one minute to show gha you

:04:26.:04:29.

are been working on. I don't know what to say I am so happy.

:04:30.:04:34.

So after a lifetime waiting for gold, two came along at once.

:04:35.:04:36.

It was well worth the wait. For more on Justin Rose's

:04:37.:04:43.

success in the golf, and all the rest of today's action

:04:44.:04:45.

in Rio, here's Andy Swiss. Some said golf didn't belong in the

:04:46.:05:01.

Olympics, just try telling Justin Rose. For all its critics it

:05:02.:05:06.

produced a thrilling somehow down, Rose level with Henrik Stenson

:05:07.:05:10.

before on the final hole a moment of magic.

:05:11.:05:16.

Stenson crumbled and Rose duly putted for glory.

:05:17.:05:22.

It is gold. The first Olympic golf champion for 112 year, for Rose and

:05:23.:05:27.

Britain though, worth waiting for. That feels as better than any

:05:28.:05:31.

tournament I have won. Just, this is so unique, so different. The crowd

:05:32.:05:36.

were incredible, it is, it is a cross between golf and a carnival

:05:37.:05:40.

type atmosphere, with people being patriotic. In the sailing gold

:05:41.:05:47.

guaranteed for Giles Scott, successor to Ben Ainslie and living

:05:48.:05:50.

up to him. The fin title won with races to spare, there was silver for

:05:51.:05:55.

Nick Dempsey in the wind surfing. Elsewhere at the velodrome the

:05:56.:06:00.

roommates race Fort Augustus gold. Jason Kenny in the white, column

:06:01.:06:05.

skinner in the black. A British tussle for the Olympic sprint title.

:06:06.:06:09.

The best of three and Kenny edged the first. Winwin the second and he

:06:10.:06:13.

would be champion and he proved unstoppable. His fifth Olympic Gold,

:06:14.:06:21.

Sir Chris Hoy Sir Steve Redgrave Bradley Wiganings the only Britons

:06:22.:06:23.

to have done that. In the tennis Andy Murray look fog place in the

:06:24.:06:29.

record books, as he emerged Del Potro for gold. No player has ever

:06:30.:06:34.

won two Olympic singles title, can Murray make history on this already

:06:35.:06:43.

historic day? What an evening we are having here, Jason Kenny with that

:06:44.:06:47.

remarkable fifth Olympic title, while in the tennis behind me, it is

:06:48.:06:53.

currently five all in the first set between Andy Murray and Del Potro,

:06:54.:06:58.

will it be another gold for Team GB, on this extraordinary day?

:06:59.:07:00.

Thank you for now. Team GB's remarkable acheivements

:07:01.:07:03.

began in the early hours when Mo Farah retained his 10,000

:07:04.:07:05.

metres title, winning gold In the heptathlon,

:07:06.:07:07.

Jessica Ennis-Hill narrowly missed out on gold, and afterwards

:07:08.:07:10.

hinted at retirement. Our sports editor Dan Roan reports

:07:11.:07:12.

on the overnight action. No matter how hard they try, Mo

:07:13.:07:22.

Farah's rivals simply can't keep up. No other British track athlete

:07:23.:07:27.

has ever won a third Olympic gold. This has now become

at London's Games, Farah has another, and with 5000

:08:16.:08:24.

and just rest up, that is what I've got to do,

let my body recover In the final event

of the heptathlon, Jessica Ennis-Hill knew

:08:31.:08:33.

she had to beat leader Nafi Thiam by almost ten seconds

:08:34.:08:36.

to retain her title. Jess Ennis coming down the home

:08:37.:08:38.

straight, it's going to be very close to her best, it's going

:08:39.:08:41.

to be just outside 2:07, 2:09, and Thiam is going to become

:08:42.:08:43.

the Olympic champion. close enough for the Belgian

:08:44.:08:49.

to prevail by 35 points. This morning, after a few hours'

:08:50.:08:53.

reflection in Rio, Ennis-Hill again

:08:54.:08:56.

hinting at retirement. It's definitely a difficult

:08:57.:09:02.

decision, but I definitely feel very content with what I've achieved

:09:03.:09:04.

throughout my career, and this has been an amazing

:09:05.:09:06.

occasion, and it is my last Olympics, and I think that is why

:09:07.:09:09.

I was so emotional last night. the other member of Team GB's

:09:10.:09:16.

gold-winning Super Saturday trio, had to settle for bronze

:09:17.:09:19.

in the long jump. This evening, though, the attention

:09:20.:09:21.

turns to one man - Usain Bolt, the Jamaican hoping to complete

:09:22.:09:25.

an unprecedented hat-trick of Olympic 100m titles

:09:26.:09:27.

and set these Games alight. Meanwhile, in the pool there was yet

:09:28.:09:29.

another gold medal for the American He won his 23rd gold in the 4 x 100

among those picking up Almost halfway through Day 9

of the Rio Games and there's been a big change for Britain

:09:54.:10:08.

on the medal table. Team GB are now in second place,

:10:09.:10:10.

behind the United States, Britain now has 13 golds,

:10:11.:10:13.

15 silvers and seven bronze medals, He is inside the stadium tonight.

:10:14.:10:37.

Very hard to keep up, Dan, a remarkable 24 hours. Yes, what you

:10:38.:10:41.

are witnessing is one of the greatest days in British Olympic

:10:42.:10:45.

history, if you consider Mo Farah's gold in the early hours as today,

:10:46.:10:50.

which it was your time and if Andy Murray can win his match later, you

:10:51.:10:55.

are looking at six golds today, effectively seven if Giles Scott is

:10:56.:10:59.

considered too. He is guaranteed victory in the sailing. That

:11:00.:11:03.

surpassing anything we saw even at London 2012. The fact that Team GB

:11:04.:11:08.

is vying with an lip pick powerhouse like China, with a population of

:11:09.:11:11.

over one billion people is remarkable when you consider as

:11:12.:11:16.

recently as 1996 in last night a, 20 years ago goodbye managed just eight

:11:17.:11:21.

medals. One was gold. Anybody who thinks that fantastic haul four

:11:22.:11:24.

years ago on home soil was down to the fact it was home advantage must

:11:25.:11:29.

think again now, a reminder of the game change that Lottery funding has

:11:30.:11:33.

proved for elite sport in Great Britain. There will be more drama

:11:34.:11:38.

here in the Olympic Stadium later on round 2.30, your time, the blue

:11:39.:11:43.

riband event is the 100 metre final and Usain Bolt, a huge amount at

:11:44.:11:48.

stake for him, he is going to become the first man in Olympic history to

:11:49.:11:52.

win the 100 metres in three successive games but a huge amount

:11:53.:11:56.

of stake for Rio 2016 and the organisers too, given the doping

:11:57.:11:59.

related controversy that overshadowed the build up. The last

:12:00.:12:04.

thing that organisers may want, is for his nearest challenger, the

:12:05.:12:08.

American sprinter Justin Gatland who has twice served doping bans to win

:12:09.:12:12.

a defining vent as this. All will be revealed later when the world for

:12:13.:12:15.

round 10 seconds will stop, and watch.

:12:16.:12:21.

The Islamist group Boko Haram has released a video which it says shows

:12:22.:12:26.

some of the schoolgirls who were kidnapped from

:12:27.:12:28.

276 girls were abducted from their school more

:12:29.:12:31.

than two years ago - about 50 appear in the video.

:12:32.:12:34.

In this report, from Martin Patience, the images

:12:35.:12:36.

of the girls are obscured, to protect their identity.

:12:37.:12:47.

Masked and menacing, this militant is very much in charge.

:12:48.:12:50.

Behind him, the kidnapped schoolgirls

:12:51.:12:52.

who, two years on, are now young women.

:12:53.:12:55.

the militant forces one of them to speak.

:12:56.:13:00.

She says many of the girls have been severely injured

:13:01.:13:03.

in military air strikes and she calls on the government

:13:04.:13:06.

to release Boko Haram prisoners to secure their release.

:13:07.:13:18.

We woke up to a video on the state of our girls.

:13:19.:13:20.

We are left with mixed feelings of grief and strengthened hope.

:13:21.:13:27.

as the families came together to watch the latest video.

:13:28.:13:31.

One father said he was shocked by his daughter's appearance

:13:32.:13:33.

When I saw her, I'm really very happy because she's still alive.

:13:34.:13:43.

The students were kidnapped from their school here in Chibok

:13:44.:13:46.

their abduction sparked international outrage

:13:47.:13:53.

and shone a spotlight on the brutal Boko Haram insurgency.

:13:54.:13:58.

But this May, renewed hope for the families

:13:59.:14:00.

after one of the girls was found alive.

:14:01.:14:02.

Forced to marry a fighter, Amina has a four-month-old baby.

:14:03.:14:05.

The government is under intense pressure to free the girls,

:14:06.:14:07.

and it says that it's in talks with the militants

:14:08.:14:17.

but it needs to be doubly sure that it's speaking to the right people.

:14:18.:14:21.

As for the girls' families, well, their agony and their anger goes on.

:14:22.:14:24.

Thousands have been killed by the Boko Haram insurgency,

:14:25.:14:26.

and more than two million displaced by the fighting.

:14:27.:14:28.

This is a conflict far bigger than just Chibok.

:14:29.:14:30.

The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has accused his deputy Tom Watson

:14:31.:14:43.

of talking nonsense about claims that hard left activists are trying

:14:44.:14:46.

to infiltrate the party in the run up to the leadership election.

:14:47.:14:49.

Tom Watson says there is clear evidence to support his allegations.

:14:50.:14:51.

Earlier today, it was announced that there won't be an appeal

:14:52.:14:54.

to the Supreme Court about whether new members can vote

:14:55.:14:56.

Here's our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

:14:57.:15:08.

Smiles and pleasantries from Jeremy Corbyn today.

:15:09.:15:10.

Are you in a civil war with Tom Watson?

:15:11.:15:13.

thank you for coming to my house today, goodbye!

:15:14.:15:16.

The reality is he and his deputy are pedaling in different directions.

:15:17.:15:25.

Those who support Mr Corbyn say Tom Watson is talking nonsense

:15:26.:15:28.

when he says hard-left campaigners are signing up

:15:29.:15:30.

The allegations being made by Tom Watson

:15:31.:15:33.

are as ridiculous as they are outlandish.

:15:34.:15:38.

You know, the Labour Party has over half a million members,

:15:39.:15:43.

these are ordinary men and women who have come to the Labour Party

:15:44.:15:46.

because they've been bruised and bloodied by the economic crisis.

:15:47.:15:51.

But in a post on Facebook tonight, Tom Watson hits back.

:15:52.:15:54.

He says a small group of left-wing activists do want to seize control.

:15:55.:15:57.

Yes, the Labour Party has made something of a habit in recent

:15:58.:16:01.

months of falling out with itself, but this really is something else.

:16:02.:16:04.

When Jeremy Corbyn publicly describes claims by his deputy

:16:05.:16:09.

as nonsense, it's proof that the bitterness and rancour

:16:10.:16:11.

Little wonder that senior figures within the Labour Party

:16:12.:16:15.

say they've never known it be this divided.

:16:16.:16:20.

Despite that, the man who wants Jeremy Corbyn's job

:16:21.:16:22.

reckons he could bring the party together.

:16:23.:16:32.

I'm convinced that there is far more that unites us than divides us,

:16:33.:16:35.

and I'm convinced that if I could put together a programme

:16:36.:16:38.

and a set of people and policies at the heart of the Labour Party

:16:39.:16:41.

in Parliament, I can get people to rally around that.

:16:42.:16:44.

Whoever finds themselves in charge of Labour here next month,

:16:45.:16:46.

the deep divisions won't disappear quickly.

:16:47.:16:48.

Scotland Yard is setting up a team of specialist police officers

:16:49.:17:01.

to target people who commit hate crimes online.

:17:02.:17:03.

The project to tackle so-called trolls will cost more

:17:04.:17:05.

than ?1.5 million over the next two years.

:17:06.:17:13.

An imam and his friend have been shot dead near a mosque in New York.

:17:14.:17:17.

The two men were shot in the back of the head as they walked home from

:17:18.:17:21.

Police say they don't know the motive for the attack,

:17:22.:17:25.

which has raised fears within the Muslim community.

:17:26.:17:30.

Torrential rain has caused widespread flooding in the southern

:17:31.:17:32.

US states of Louisiana and Mississippi - killing

:17:33.:17:34.

Thousands of people - including this woman

:17:35.:17:41.

trapped inside her car - have been rescued from

:17:42.:17:43.

Both the woman and her dog were pulled to safety

:17:44.:17:53.

Officials say floods have reached "epic proportions".

:17:54.:18:01.

The husband of a British-Iranian woman who's facing trial in Iran has

:18:02.:18:03.

told the BBC that she is being used as a political pawn.

:18:04.:18:06.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been in prison in Iran

:18:07.:18:08.

The Prime Minister Theresa May recently raised concerns

:18:09.:18:11.

about the case in a phone call to the Iranian President

:18:12.:18:14.

Our correspondent Caroline Hawley reports.

:18:15.:18:27.

It has been almost five months now since the Ratcliffe

:18:28.:18:29.

Nazanin had taken her daughter Gabriella back to Tehran on holiday.

:18:30.:18:33.

This photo was taken shortly before Nazanin was arrested by Iran's

:18:34.:18:35.

Gabriella had her passport confiscated and is now living

:18:36.:18:39.

Nazanin's job involves organising training for journalists around

:18:40.:18:46.

She has been accused of trying to engineer the peaceful overthrow

:18:47.:18:51.

She is to be tried in a secretive revolutionary court.

:18:52.:19:01.

This time last year, Britain was reopening its embassy

:19:02.:19:03.

after a deal was struck on Iran's nuclear programme.

:19:04.:19:05.

The country's moderate President is trying to repair relations

:19:06.:19:07.

But in the past few months, several dual nationals

:19:08.:19:11.

Many believe hard liners within the regime are trying

:19:12.:19:23.

to wreck the rapprochement with the west.

:19:24.:19:25.

Do you think she is a pawn in a political game, if so what is it?

:19:26.:19:29.

I think she is definitely - there is definitely a political game

:19:30.:19:32.

going on between different parts of the Iranian Government

:19:33.:19:34.

and Iranian regime, so the revolutionary guard

:19:35.:19:35.

versus the Government, and she's caught up in that.

:19:36.:19:42.

There have been various attempts by the Iranian Government to improve

:19:43.:19:45.

relations with the west, and this is, you know,

:19:46.:19:47.

almost as provocative as possible to stop that happening.

:19:48.:19:54.

Gabriella, filmed here before her mother's arrest,

:19:55.:19:57.

spent her second birthday separated from both her parents.

:19:58.:20:00.

When she was first allowed to see Mazanin, her mother was too weak

:20:01.:20:03.

Richard shows me the toys waiting for her when she comes home.

:20:04.:20:14.

For now, he is watching his daughter grow up on Skype.

:20:15.:20:33.

Desperate for the day the family can be reunited.

:20:34.:20:36.

In cricket, England have lost the fourth and final Test

:20:37.:20:47.

against Pakistan by 10 wickets at the Oval.

:20:48.:20:49.

Chasing just 40 to win, after England finished their second

:20:50.:20:51.

innings on 253, the Tourists completed the rout just

:20:52.:20:53.

after tea on the fourth day, to level the series.

:20:54.:20:56.

How fortunes flutter for England right now.

:20:57.:21:06.

A team headed for world number one has seen things whirl

:21:07.:21:08.

Gary Ballance the latest to be lured to his end -

:21:09.:21:15.

Still 86 runs behind Pakistan, only five wickets remaining,

:21:16.:21:20.

pressure liberated Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow.

:21:21.:21:25.

England were in trouble any way - why not have a go?

:21:26.:21:27.

Pakistan's spinner Yasir Shah held his nerve.

:21:28.:21:30.

Moeen didn't wait for the umpire, he knew.

:21:31.:21:34.

The Tourists took part in army bootcamps to get fitter

:21:35.:21:38.

Putting fielders in just the right places.

:21:39.:21:47.

Stuart Broad caught in the web spun by Yasir.

:21:48.:21:50.

England were soon all out, just 39 ahead.

:21:51.:21:54.

This is Pakistan 's Independence Day, and the final

:21:55.:21:57.

All such occasions need to finish with something spectacular.
