Team GB celebrate second place in the Rio medals table -

winning more than in London four years ago.

COMMENTATOR: Mo Farah is going to get gold

One of the final gold medals comes from Mo Farah's victory in the 5000

metres. It's been a long journey

but if you dream at something and you have the ambition and you're

willing to work hard, For the host country -

the sweetest victory as Brazil's footballers beat Germany

on penalities in Olympic final. As the closing ceremony approaches -

we'll be looking back at Rio 2016. The father who drowned

second place in the medals table at the Rio Games -

outdoing the tally from Early today Mo Farah

confirmed his status as one of the greatest ever distance

runners, winning There've been more medals

for the women's relay And there are still hopes

for British success in the final hours of the Games, with Joe Joyce

in the men's heavyweight boxing. From Rio, Natalie Pirks

has the latest. COMMENTATOR: He is starting his

stuff. With a bucket full of confidence, Mo Farah is going into

his role as national treasure. With the double double on the cards he

had a box clever at the shorter distance. But as usual he bided his

time, hanging out at the back of the pack conserving his energy. And then

he made his move. COMMENTATOR: There he goes. Could those legs still

motor for years on? Could we still have the trademark burst of pace in

the final lap? It was even faster than his last lap in London.

COMMENTATOR: He's not going to get him! It was the same result, the

same elation, and like his friend Usain Bolt he revels in the media

tricks but this was for his family. -- in the theatrics. Everyone's

dream to become an Olympic champion but to do this full time is amazing

and then to do it in London and then have another four years to do this

in Rio it has been amazing. All of my medals are dedicated to my kids.

British distance running's greatest ever has his signature, of course,

and perhaps next he will have a knighthood to go with it. Earlier in

the night this South African had delivered a devastating run to

deliver the gold medal everyone predicted in the 800 metres,

brushing off controversy, showing the world only her running matters.

But the British hopes it seemed Mo Farah has bested track, Britain's

four by 400 metres relay team knew the bronze medal was a buzz ability,

and it was set up perfectly -- possibility. Christine Ohuruogu held

off advances, to confirm this as Britain's greatest Games in the

modern era, the spirit of 66. It seems fitting that the weather has

been decidedly British, running through the rain, and the pain, was

the Kenyan winner the men's marathon, and it has been a marathon

wait for Joe Joyce, the British super heavyweight who will finally

get his hands on a medal as he fights in the final. It will be

Britain's 67th now there's a reason to dance.

The host nation Brazil also has reasons to be proud -

with their best medal performance in an Olympic Games.

Their sweetest moment came last night.

COMMENTATOR: Neymar scores! 200 million Brazilians scream with

delight. The country's star striker

and captain Neymar delivering footballing victory over

Germany in a penalty shootout - And our correspondent Wyre Davies

is at that very stadium now, where the closing ceremony

of the Rio Games will So have these Games been

a triumph for Brazil? From their perspective. From a

sporting perspective it has been an overwhelming extraordinary success,

Brazilian fans are here to watch the men's volleyball final which could

be a gold medal for Brazil, but Brazil is about much more than

football and volleyball, and the question is, have ordinarily

Brazilians felt part of the Olympic Games which mocked we have seen

disappointing crowds, Brazilians complaining about high ticket prices

which makes them feel excluded. Security has been good in many of

the Olympic areas, but there have been issues in many other parts of

the Rio, it is a question of priorities, there is an open sewer

behind me, millions have been spent on stadiums, so people are still

questioning the value of bringing the Games to Brazil, but from a

sporting perspective it has been an overwhelming success. The IOC does

not regret bringing the Games to Brazil, and a spokesman said it has

been a success, it has been challenging and difficult, but these

first Games in South America prove that next they should be thinking

about the Olympics in Africa. Thanks for joining us. We will have more

from Rio late in the show as the closing ceremony approaches.

Coastguards are urging people to be wary of treacherous

conditions in the sea - following the deaths of six people

in stormy waters around the British Isles this weekend.

A man who drowned when he and his family were swept

from rocks at Newquay in Cornwall has been named as Rudy Bruynius.

His wife Lisinda has thanked people who have raised funds for the family

as a result. In Jersey, a 32 year

old woman who has been named as Joy Godfray died

after getting into And in Aberdeen, a mother

and child who died after being swept out to sea have

been named as 37-year-old Julie Walker and her

six-year-old son Lucas. Even in the summer months the sea

can be unforgiving, there were no swimmers on this section of the

beach where Julie Walker and Lucas Walker died. Just police officers

combing the rocks and sand continuing their investigation. It

is clear heroic attempts were made to save Julie and Lucas by both on

and off duty police officers, emergency service personnel,

including HM coastguard, the lifeboat, Scottish fire and rescue,

and the Ambulance Service, not to mention members of the public

themselves. Despite the conditions last night Lucas's 13-year-old

brother Samuel and two others risked their lives in the rescue effort,

and Samuel is recovering in hospital and the others have been well enough

to go home. Today there were warnings about the unpredictable

nature of the sea. Warm weather is specially, if we have had a period

of wind, and warm weather following, that lulls people into a false sense

of security, but the waves are just as powerful. These flowers are a sad

mind that this is not a normal sunny Sunday afternoon, some have come to

pay to Bute and others have reflected on the lives lost. -- to

pay tribute. A suicide bombing which killed

at least 50 people at a wedding party in Turkey was carried out

by a boy aged between 12 and 14. That's according to the Turkish

President who says so-called Islamic State was responsible

for the attack, which happened Our Turkey correspondent

Mark Lowen reports. It was meant to be

a moment of celebration. A wedding party in Gaziantep,

torn apart by a massive bomb. The guests, mainly Kurds,

were outside when it hit. Suicide vest was reportedly found at

the scene. The Government says

the Islamic State group TRANSLATION: Our friends

and neighbours were there. And now familiar scene as the

injured recover from another attack in Turkey, the country has been hit

by a wave of bombings over the past year, by IS and Kurdish mittens. I

was standing and then something happened and I passed out, and then

I woke up and that my parents -- Kurdish militants. From the Turkish

president, he said the suicide bomber was between 12 and 14 years

old. Some of those injured, he said, are in a critical condition. This

could be a response by IS to recent losses in Syria, the US-led

coalition ousted DJ had its from a former stronghold -- ousted the

jihadists from a former stronghold. Could this bombing of a wedding be

IS revenge but not the Turkish Prime Minister says his country will pay a

more active part, we understand Turkish backed rebels are preparing

a further offensive into IS territory, to be granted safe

passage across the Turkish border. The Gaziantep attack could be a

warning shot against Turkey. It has become almost routine in Turkey, the

emotions, as victims are laid to rest, guests of a joyous wedding

party whose lives were torn away. New measures intended to stop prison

inmates being radicalised by violent extremists are to be announced

by the government. It's expected that special units

will be created to separate Our Home Affairs Correspondent

Daniel Sandford is here. How urgent is this according to the

government? The public has been focused on this in the last couple

of weeks because of the conviction of Anjem Choudary, who will be in

prison now for eight years, but it has been a problem around for a long

time -- for 80 years. The plot to bring down multiple airliners and

various other plots against Britain, these prisoners have been in for a

while and it is viewed as a growing problem of inmates being radicalised

in prison. There has been a report from former prisoner and Governor

who says there has been complacency at a senior level and staff have

been timid, over fears of being accused of being racist, there has

been Islamist literature available in libraries, extremist literature

available in libraries, and the new Justice Secretary Liz Truss is

responding to the report tomorrow and it is understood she has agreed

to be most controversial recommendation the creation of these

special units inside high prisons where the most serious Islamist will

be completely isolated from the rest of the prison population to stop

them radicalising other inmates. Thanks for joining us.

The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has urged Labour members to ditch

Jeremy Corbyn as their leader, saying he had "totally

failed" to get his message across during the EU referendum.

He says he'll be voting for Mr Corbyn's challenger

Owen Smith because under the current leader Labour is extremely unlikely

Our political correspondent Chris Mason reports.

It contains flash photography. This man wants to be Labour's next Prime

Minister but Owen Smith has got to beat Jeremy Corbyn to become Labour

leader first. He will hope that being backed by a winner will help.

I declared Sadiq Khan as the new Mayor of London. When Sadiq Khan was

elected as the London mayor in May he became Labour's most senior

politician actually nPower. He had courted Jeremy Corbyn supporters to

get the job. But now, he says Jeremy Corbyn has got to be beaten. He has

failed to win the trust and respect of the British people and he has

failed to organise an effective team and we have seen the EU referendum

when he failed to provide the leadership to persuade people to

vote to remain, that demonstrates why I think Owen Smith is the bike

leader for our party and why I think he's the best chance we have got to

win the next election. -- the right leader. The intervention is the

latest endorsement for Owen Smith, coming from a figure within the

Labour Party who was willing to give Jeremy Corbyn the benefit of the

doubt. But has now given up on him. The question is whether these

endorsements will make any difference. I don't think this

endorsement will shift the debate towards Owen Smith, and I think

Jeremy Corbyn has shifted the political debate in Britain in

favour of ordinary people against austerity and cuts and in favour of

public service is and decent wages, and Owen Smith has had to adapt his

policies to reflect what Jeremy Corbyn has achieved in a short time

as Labour Party leader. There are plenty of conversations going on

amongst Labour Party members and supporters this weekend, but this

one in law that shields in Tyneside, because ballot papers will start

being sent out tomorrow -- this one in North Shields. Said the calm has

come out against Jeremy, but the Northern region is very important --

Sadiq Khan. People respect Jeremy Corbyn, up and down the country. He

is hated by the public, he is hated by the public. You have been outside

my house for three hours this morning, goodbye. As Jeremy Corbyn,

he is pedalling off to a big supporters meeting at North London

where he is expecting 4000 people to turn up.

Back to the Olympics, where Britain have enjoy an extraordinary success,

coming second in the table. -- enjoy -- enjoyed. They are second in the

table and there are more hopes to come this evening. Ahead of the

closing ceremony our sports editor has been reflecting on an

extraordinary success. COMMENTATOR: Gold for Great Britain! Setting new

standards for British sport, Team GB has redefined what possible at the

Olympics, Rio their best performance at the Games for more than a

century. The woman responsible for delivering success told me how much

it meant. We are now one of the superpowers of Olympic sport and

here we are second in the table above China, with more gold medals,

and more silver medals, as well. An amazing place to be and it shows

that we are a force we reckoned with in world sport. The depth of the

medal success is staggering, from 58-year-old Nick Skelton in his

seventh Olympics, 216-year-old gymnast Amy Tinkler -- to

16-year-old. One member of Team GB says much of it is down to attitude.

People are hungry and there is so much competition which is only a

good thing because people have to work harder. What we are seeing,

athletes that don't just want to turn up, they want to compete and

step on the track and have people fear them. It wasn't always this

way, in 1996 Great Britain finished 36th in the medals table with just

one gold medal. But then the game changer, the national lottery

enabling sports like cycling to be revolutionised. Hundreds of millions

of pounds worth of funding used to develop a high-performance culture,

how times have changed since Atlanta. Never in my wildest dreams

did we think we could win 19 in Beijing, 29 in London, and a

possible 28, certainly 27 at the moment, this is above my wildest

dreams. And I have pretty wild dreams of where we could be in world

sport. Beyond Britain world sport's biggest names also delivered in Rio,

Olympic legends bowed out on a high note. New stars emerged. And world

records were broken. When it came to the sporting moments these felt like

a classic Games, and for Team GB they were simply the best. STUDIO:

Not long till the closing ceremony. So many memorable moments from these

Games. Absolutely. It is hard not to escape the conclusion that Team GB's

for nominal success is down to a simple fact, they were effectively

the best prepared team here, ?4 million on average is what each of

those medals has cost the country in terms of the lottery funding, which

was referred to in the report, and they will have to grapple with

whether it was worth it and what those medals actually achieved, not

everyone likes the UK sport strategy, the no compromise approach

which rewards medals excess with more funding. Sports like basketball

and volleyball feel hard done by, for example, but does it actually

increase participation. The recent past says no, London did not result

in a more active and healthy nation, and the fact there is a lack of

school sport and the fact that local sports facilities are closing and

changes in lifestyle, it means the inspiration which we have got from

medals excess can and you go so far, but others will argue that those

medals are worth every penny -- medals success. There is a feel-good

factor and prestige abroad, as well, and tonight Great Britain can say it

is a sporting Olympic superpower and as fans though that has not always

been the case. Thanks for joining us.
