:00:59. > :01:01.A deal finally agreed between the Americans and Russians
:01:02. > :01:19.There is emerging now a simple choice between war and peace,
:01:20. > :01:25.between human agony and humanitarian relief. Between that continued
:01:26. > :01:26.disintegration of an ancient society and the rebirth of a united and

:02:05. > :02:06.has been informed by us about these arrangements,
:02:07. > :02:19.and it is ready to fulfil them. It supports the initiative on which
:02:20. > :02:23.we agreed with the United States. We will do everything that depends on
:02:24. > :02:26.us, but it is understandable that not everything depends on us.
:02:27. > :02:29.The United Nations welcomed the deal and said its trucks were ready

:02:48. > :02:50.The International Trade Secretary has been attacked for saying Britain
:02:51. > :02:53.has grown 'too fat and lazy' as a trading nation to carry

:03:11. > :03:14.We have become too lazy and too fat on our successes

:03:21. > :03:31.One of the big trade body groups, the CBI, has decided not to get
:03:32. > :03:37.involved in this one but some others have. One or two frankly reacting
:03:38. > :03:40.with Durie over these comments. The manufacturers organisation has said
:03:41. > :03:45.that these comments were an wise, that they are unhelpful. An
:03:46. > :03:50.individual called Richard Reid, the co-founder of Innocent drinks, who
:03:51. > :03:54.was also a prominent figure in the to remain in the newly European
:03:55. > :03:58.union says the comments are absolutely disgusting and has
:03:59. > :04:02.questioned Doctor Fox's ability to represent British business. As the
:04:03. > :04:07.Downing Street, it is saying these are private comments. I think they
:04:08. > :04:10.are sympathetic to Doctor Fox. They will say he is trying to raise a
:04:11. > :04:13.legitimate point about Britain's very severe trade deficit but I
:04:14. > :04:17.think it is the manner in which these comments have been made that
:04:18. > :04:19.is likely to cause an embarrassment. Tom, thank you.

:04:45. > :04:46.Four sprint gold medals, an evening played
:04:47. > :04:53.The day's final dash of adrenaline came from Jonnie Peacock in the T44.
:04:54. > :05:01.The boy who lost his right leg aged five simply too strong,
:05:02. > :05:05.simply too fast, simply a double Paralympic champion.
:05:06. > :05:10.He was running with a gust of British momentum at his back.
:05:11. > :05:15.In the T11, Libby Clegg and guide Chris Clarke had been

:05:32. > :05:39.She was racing just minutes after Georgina Hermitage in the T37
:05:40. > :05:42.- a woman who turned away from the sport for a decade,
:05:43. > :05:45.Hermitage was inspired by Mo Farah, but now she has
:05:46. > :05:47.something even he doesn't - an outdoor world record.
:05:48. > :05:50.And in another venue, but almost at the same
:05:51. > :05:52.time, a Para-cyclist was peddling away frustration.
:05:53. > :05:55.Jody Cundy was disqualified in London.
:05:56. > :06:00.He is the C-45 time trial champion in Rio.
:06:01. > :06:03.So frantic was the evening that it seemed an age ago that
:06:04. > :06:07.Sophie Thornhill and her pilot Helen Scott won the second day's
:06:08. > :06:11.first gold in the tandem time trial - their first Paralympic title.
:06:12. > :06:14.A multitude of moments, all vying for attention,
:06:15. > :06:17.but who could keep their eyes off the performance of Ellie Robinson
:06:18. > :06:22.Just 15 - four years ago she was at home cheering
:06:23. > :06:24.on Ellie Simmonds, now it was her family
:06:25. > :06:30.A medal she had worked so hard for, and yet could hardly comprehend.
:06:31. > :06:33.It's back to her mates at school next, but she will never

:06:44. > :06:54.Andy. Let's talk to the man of the moment, Jonnie Peacock, a second
:06:55. > :07:00.Paralympic title. Congratulations. How good does that sound? It still
:07:01. > :07:05.doesn't quite feel real, to be honest with you. I came here to do a
:07:06. > :07:08.job, I guess, and now that job is completed I guess there is a sense
:07:09. > :07:12.of relief. It took me awhile to get to sleep last night but I'm over the
:07:13. > :07:19.moon. We could see what it meant you last night. Give us a feeling of the
:07:20. > :07:23.emotions of crossing that line? A euphoria of emotions, I think. You
:07:24. > :07:29.try and stay focused throughout the race. I think about 30-40 metres I
:07:30. > :07:32.may have lost my process for about half a second, but I brought it back
:07:33. > :07:36.into the race and I think that's where I kind of pulled away. The
:07:37. > :07:40.last ten or 15 metres I looked across to make sure there was no one
:07:41. > :07:45.coming through. When I saw I had actually done it again... It's just
:07:46. > :07:57.like a dream. You believe it's a possibility but
:07:58. > :08:01.until it actually happens, you don't know how you will feel. Champion at
:08:02. > :08:04.London 2012. Was this in some ways more satisfying? You haven't had an
:08:05. > :08:07.easy few years? No, not the easiest of roads here. I'm happy with how
:08:08. > :08:09.the last year has gone. I made some good choices this year. London,
:08:10. > :08:14.nothing will beat that on a personal level, a home Games, but Rio was a
:08:15. > :08:19.sporting achievement, the field was tough, some really good guys, some
:08:20. > :08:23.guys who posted some very fast times throughout the year, so it was by no
:08:24. > :08:27.means going to be an easy victory. But it's all about whoever can keep
:08:28. > :08:32.their head on the day and luckily I managed to do that. Jonnie Peacock,
:08:33. > :08:36.many, many congratulations and plenty more medal hopes for the
:08:37. > :08:41.British team coming up later. Hannah Cockroft, another of the stars of
:08:42. > :08:45.London 2012 will be going for her first gold medal of these games in
:08:46. > :08:50.the 100 metres. Dame Sarah Storey is back in action in the cycling,
:08:51. > :08:54.looking for a 13th Paralympic title. But 12 Gold medals already at these
:08:55. > :08:57.games for the British team, some start for them Maxine. Thank you,
