The head of the independent inquiry into child sexual

abuse has resigned. Dame Lowell Goddard is the third

chairwoman to step down The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd,

insists the wide-ranging inquiry - which has 13 investigations

in England and Wales - Groups representing victims say

a replacement must Our legal correspondent

Clive Coleman reports. Following the resignation of two

former chairwomen, New Zealand judge was appointed by the then

Home Secretary Theresa May to be the steadying hand needed

on the inquiry that many thought had lost its way

before it had even started. Set up in the wake of

the Jimmy Savile scandal, it was to be a vast,

wide-ranging inquiry that would examine child abuse in public

bodies and private organisations Today, she faced press criticism

that during her first year, she spent three months

away from the inquiry. A spokesperson said she had been

on inquiry business and remained Her resignation is the latest

setback for the inquiry, The first chair, Baroness Butler

Sloss, was appointed in July 2014, Dame Fiona Woolf was appointed

in September that year. She stood down less

than two months later. Like her predecessor,

she was criticised for being too Justice Lowell Goddard was appointed

in February last year, In a statement, the

Home Secretary said... With Justice Goddard's departure,

the inquiry is in crisis. Who now will be prepared

to take on a role so many We'll take a closer look at this

story just after ten this morning. Julian Worriker is in the BBC

who is in Russell Square. bring us up on the developments

overnight. Here in Russell Square the police tape has gone and the

cordons have been lifted and the forensic officers are done their

work and the only sign of the awful events of Wednesday are the flowers

paying tribute. One has a stars and stripes flag, a card addressed to

the family of the lady and another from the American women's club of

London. Nearly all of them I'm sure left by people who did not know her

but wanted to pay their condolences and respects. Her husband, a

psychology professor at Florida State University, the University has

released a statement expressing its heartache over this terrible tragedy

and saying they will support the family as much as they can. There

were others injured in the attack, one was a British man who is still

in hospital with serious but stable injuries. The suspect in custody, a

19-year-old man who came from Norway in 2002, Norwegian police are

helping the Met here and we understand that the police can hold

him until about lunchtime today at which point they will have to either

go to court to get an extension or decide whether to charge him, bail

him or release him. Thank you. The candidates for the Labour Party

leadership clashed in Cardiff in their first head-to-head

debate last night. Owen Smith said Labour

is failing to provide a "powerful, credible opposition"

to the Conservative government, while leader Jeremy Corbyn said

the disunity in the party is a result of the resignations

of his opponents and others The car maker Renault-Nissan says it

won't make investment decisions about its plants in Britain,

until details emerge about a new The firm's chief executive,

Carlos Goshan, told BBC News that he's "reasonably optimistic" that

common sense will prevail - but the firm needs to see the shape

of a new deal before deciding whether to invest more money

in its Sunderland plant, Researchers say they've made

a promising step forward in the search for a vaccination

against the Zika virus. A team of American military

scientists has found that experimental vaccines can protect

against the virus in monkeys. Here's our health

correspondent, Jane Draper. Zika has caused huge

concern in Brazil ahead The virus is linked to serious birth

defects in pregnancy, and it has been declared a global

public health emergency. So the race is on to find a safe

and effective vaccine. These researchers have already

shown their work could ward Now they have demonstrated that

the jab can work in 20 monkeys too. They tested three types of vaccine,

two with genes from Zika, and one which was an inactive

replica of the virus. This is certainly encouraging news

for people at risk from Zika virus. We have the laboratory and animal

experiments, and now we need to undertake the much more rigorous

and detailed clinical Up to ten and 12

years in some cases. Miami is also feeling

the effects of Zika, with more than a dozen cases

detected in the past week. Healthy volunteers are taking part

in trials of two other potential But it's likely to be at least two

years before any jab Six British tourists are still being

treated in hospital after the minibus they were travelling in was

Plans to create a stand-alone bank under the name Williams

What does this tell us about the state of the bag? It tells us that

RBS is trying to restructure itself at a time when the banking business

is very difficult to operate -- the state of the bank. Interest rates

are low which has pressures on profitability and the economic

environment is also quite unsettled and RBS is struggling. That said, if

you strip away the one-off legacy items linked to problems with PPI

and the rights issue in 2008 which has cost it more than ?1 billion, it

is actually still profitable or that its profits are about half of what

they were this time last year. But they are operating in a difficult

environment, trying to restructure and that is having an effect. Thank

you. Large private foster agencies have

been criticised for poaching foster to work for them, rather

than local authorities. The Association of Directors

of Children's Services says some agencies then charge councils almost

double the amount for Jan and Tony Hester have seven

children of their own, but over the past 11 years,

have fostered another 50 children. Jan works as a foster carer

for the local council. It's opening my home up to children

that need a home, a family, And it was just something

that we did sort of fall into, but it just happened

and it felt right. I couldn't imagine

doing anything else. Some independent agencies

are not-for-profit, but the eight largest agencies made around

?41 million in profit last year. Some of those are offering carers

like Jan ?2000 or ?3000 to transfer from the local authority

to their organisation. Councils say they can end up

paying almost double We really object strongly

to these golden hellos, where, to be honest,

as a local authority, we are recruiting and training

and supporting these foster carers, and that costs us a lot of money,

and we are very committed to that. Then these agencies come along

with a golden hello and take our foster carers,

and we are out of pocket massively. We think that is immoral and wrong,

and it ought to be stopped The Nationwide Association

of Foster and Providers says there are discrepancies with the way

councils compare in-house And often carers transfer

for the child's benefit. The government has announced

a review of foster care in England and soon Jan will start training

other therapeutic carers in the hope that more will open their homes

to children in need in the future. That is a summary of the latest news

and we will have more at 9:30am. Don't forget to get in touch, and if

you do text you will be charged as the standard network rate. Let's get

the sport now with John Watson and the big day is here, years of

preparation, is Rio ready? Good morning. It is all about the

Olympics. The opening ceremony is tonight and with so much talk in the

lead up to the game is about doping, we thought we would touch on what

the Olympics is all about. Our guest this one is Derek Redmond, who

competed at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Thank you for joining us.

We will look ahead to Rio in a moment but first, talking about a

moment which embodies what the Olympics is all about, what happened

to you in 1992. Explain what happened. It was the semifinal of

the men's 400 metres, I had won the first two rounds and about halfway

down the back straight I heard a pop and a few strides later I felt some

pain and realised I had pulled my hamstring which is not the best time

for that to happen for obvious reasons! It was a hugely emotional

moment. We saw your dad join you on the track to complete your lap. What

was going through your mind then? To be honest, after I pulled my

hamstring I decide to complete the race and what made me do that was

because I thought I could still qualify for the final. You need to

be physically and mentally fit. As I hobbled around, my dad join me. I

just want to finish the race at that stage. I heard a familiar voice

saying, you don't need to do this, and I said, I do, and he said we

will finish it together. It might not have been the moment you would

want to have remembered for those Olympics, I am sure you would have

wanted a medal but a hugely significant moment and I guess we

have seen it for many years afterwards, in some ways it is a

special memory. For me it was the worst moment of my life at that time

and was not thinking 24 years in advance and what everybody else

thought! You could almost say it was a selfish act to finish the race for

me but 24 years later almost the day -- to the day, I can't believe it

amazes me the of people that get something from that image and people

who were not even born then, there was an image that my wife showed me

on Facebook that had 8.1 million views, it is now at 40 million views

24 hours later, so it is unbelievable, the Amat the people

who can get something from that moment.

A hugely emotional moment and it brings people to tears now. Doping

can overshadow this game and might have been threatening to do so. What

was the process like in your day and has it improved significantly enough

for today? I will answer the second question first. Has it improved?

Yes, it has but the drugs are improving and we have a situation

where the bad guys once the bed of the good guys. It was no different

in my day -- one step ahead of the good guys. What they are testing for

now is changing because the substances have changed along the

way. But it has been pretty robust and severe. In a major competition,

the medallists are tested and there will be one random person in the

race also tested. In a final of eight people, half of them will be

tested. The first three plus another. This all comes as Lizzie

Armistead has given a hugely emotional interview to the BBC and

says she fears nobody will believe she is a clean athlete after missing

three drugs tests which could have led to a ban from the Olympics. This

is what she had to say. People are going to judge me and my family and

I would never cheat, in any walk of life. And like you say, people will

think I am a treat for the rest of my life, and that is because of not

taking the form -- ticking a box of form I don't make -- want to sound

like it is trivial, and I should take this more seriously and higher

than anyone else but something happened to me and my family that I

couldn't control that is more important to me than cycling. I am

not at the point of accepting it yet, but I will have to come to a

point of people accepting it about me for ever. So, it's about me and

my family. And she will of course compete in the women's road race on

Sunday. Hugely emotional hearing from her. Do you have some sympathy

for her? This is far from ideal preparations are going into a huge

event this weekend. Far from ideal and the last thing any athlete needs

on their mind. Do I have some sympathy? I have a bit of sympathy.

We are talking three tests and she is a professional sports person. I

am not condoning that fact or saying she is guilty of taking drugs, but

we know the scenario and the story. We all know the procedure. I know

she said the third Test was because of a family situation which she does

not want to die bulge and that is her right, -- die bulge. People will

think that and we have become numb to the fact that people say it was

not them when they are caught and then years later we find out that

that they were dirty. It's going to be really tough for her. And even

that half an interview she has given, how many times have we seen

children go missing and the parents on TV crying and we find out they

had something to do with it. I'm not Richie has done it but it will be

half for the public to accept those emotions because three missed tests,

one, OK, two, but three? That is a tough pill to swallow. Derek, thank

you for your time this morning, much appreciated. Reliving the moment

when you are competing in the 1992 Olympics. That is all the sport for

now. I will have more for you at around 9:30am and the rest of the

day's board. Thanks, John. It's the biggest sporting event

in the world and tonight the 2016 Olympics will formally begin

with the opening ceremony More than 10,000 athletes from 206

countries will take part. But the event has been overshadowed

by Brazil's political and economic crisis as well as the doping

scandal involving Russia. Last night, the International

Olympic Committee said would be allowed to compete,

that's around 70% Tonight the athletes will parade

around the Maracana Stadium in what is promised to be

a four-hour spectacular In 17 days of action,

sports men and women will compete for 4,924 medals in 42

different disciplines. Two of those going for gold will be

two British athletes who cross the line here today

will guarantee their What a dream come true that will be

for Aly Dixon. So, basically, we've just arrived

at the Premier Inn at Heathrow ready to get a good night's sleep

and start the day tomorrow. So we have just a little bit

of luggage here! It will be exciting,

get all this kit ready, packed up, Pretty much the whole of this bag

down here is full of our Team So, your hockey ball

and stuff, prep. Got a wash bin to take out, so that

can be organised once I'm there. Don't travel anywhere

without my big pillow. It's a big important one to be able

to get a decent night's sleep. This bag over here has got

all the little things that the guys I have a bag of all the cards that

everyone has given me. Some good look little

presents and things. And a little medal that one of

the girls from the gym made for me. These are all the essential things

that will make my room homely. It was quite a surreal deal

when I got to Heathrow Airport. The guy in front of me checking

in was Chris Froome. And then on the transit train

I was standing next to Andy Murray. And then Princess Anne walks

by in the queue waiting to board. Yeah, so some pretty big

names on that flight. I was expecting it to all feel a bit

real getting on the flight, but seeing those guys,

made me a bit starstruck. Sitting getting breakfast

next to Chris Froome, I was wanting to ask

for a selfie, but I was a bit This is my home for

the next few weeks. Well, next ten days really,

before moving into the village. Nice and quite basic

but nice and comfortable. Got all support staff here,

got some good coaches, got physios, got osteopaths,

got nutritionists. A few other sports, the men's rugby

sevens here just now. Women's rugby sevens

left this morning. There's quite a good,

exciting buzz about it. As you can probably see out

the window, it's dark just now. It's winter in Brazil,

so it gets dark around 5:30pm, 6pm. Tomorrow, hopefully I will be able

to show you around and see what it's This is our rest and relaxation area

in the holding camp. As you can see, a nice,

beautiful lake. And as we go around we have

what we call the yacht club along there, which has the gym and some

nice pools to sit by. We have driven about 40 minutes away

from Belo, where we are based. At quite a high altitude,

not quite sure how high it is, but it is a lovely running surface,

these soft, sandy trails. And we've got some

beautiful scenery. So, all things are going well just

now, the excitement is building. There is a great atmosphere

in the holding camp. And I think everyone is just really

excited now to get into Rio, get into the village and get started

with the competition. We'll hear more from them

throughout the games. A little later, around

about half past ten, at the famous Christ the Redeemer

statue where we're expecting the Olympic flame to arrive ahead

of tonight's opening ceremony. And of course there's full coverage

of entire games right You can get in touch with us

throughout the programme about whether you are following the

Olympic Games. Jay says, following the Olympics undoubtedly, is there

anywhere on the broadcast media someone can escape from it? Not on

the BBC, I apologise. Zachary tweets and says he will watch all his

favourite sports. Nick has tweeted and says he is managing a betting

shop and will be watching the Olympics as part of a daily routine.

And from Bears, I won't watch the Olympics at all. Too many cheats and

it has lost its meaning -- and from Des.

It was the battle for the left last night as Owen Smith clashed

with current Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to take

We agree that we need a united Labour Party.

We absolutely need that because disunited parties

But we have never looked more disunited...

We have never looked more disunited than under your leadership.

And part of the reason we are so disunited is we are losing.

We lost in the local government elections.

The Tories at the same point in the cycle won 300 seats.

Ed Miliband at this point in the cycle

We've got Ukip in our National Assembly here

in Wales on your watch, on our watch.

We are third in Scotland behind the Tories.

This is not success, Jeremy.

And on current trajectory, we would be down at 22%

at the next election in 2020 under your leadership.

You cannot want that, because you want

You want to put into practice our principles.

You don't just want to protest about it, I hope.

You want to actually deliver something for this country.

It doesn't mean trading our principles,

it means winning to put them into practice.

With a Labour government, not a protest movement.

Jeremy Corbyn to respond to that, please.

You and I were at the same Shadow Cabinet table when we agreed

on the strategy we would do in the House.

We agreed on where we would take it to the Tories, and we have had

And we did defeat the Tories in the May elections.

I wish it would have been by more, but we were ahead of

And the party is growing massively in membership.

What I don't understand, is how you can complain

about disunity in the party, when you and others are the ones

who resigned from the Shadow Cabinet...

At the very point when we could have taken it to them.

Our political correspondent Tom Bateman is in Westminster.

As we saw, pretty feisty between the pair of them. Is there a general

view of who came out best? It was a pretty fiery affair. We heard the

booing and jeering and jeering throughout. For both sides, but more

of the cheering for Jeremy Corbyn. What was striking about this was the

way in which Owen Smith, as the challenger, was really trying to

position himself as being just as radical as Jeremy Corbyn. This is

the kind of supermarket price match of policies that he can match or

beat, to an increasingly left-wing membership. But the point Owen Smith

makes is that he is the competent one and the one that will lead the

party to victory at a general election and become Prime Minister.

Both men agree on the diagnosis when it comes to the Parliamentary Labour

Party that there is a big problem. It is the cause that they are

arguing about the Jeremy Corbyn saying, you walked out on me and he

says, no, it's your problem because you can't lead. Let's talk about the

honours nominations with this story not going anywhere. Shami chakra

Barty being nominated by Jeremy Corbyn. We had this conversed that

the human rights lawyer is among the peerages offered by David Cameron,

and the list was accused of cronyism for David Cameron. What has happened

is the Labour leader has put forward the name, recommended Shami

Chakabarti for this peerage which was then by the outgoing Prime

Minister. The reason this is controversial is the Jeremy Corbyn

has called for an overhaul of the honours system and said it was

cronyism when David Cameron was putting together the resignation

honours list, and now we have a human rights lawyer who carried out

an enquiry for the Labour Party into accusations of anti-Semitism. She

said there was no evidence that the party was overrun by anti-Semitism.

And so now we have Jeremy Corbyn himself, having put forward some

money for a peerage and that has led to lots of criticism. The deputy

leader of the party, Tom Watson, has already said he thinks is a mistake

and he was not aware of it. In the last few minutes I have been having

a chat with -- a chat with Diane Abbott, the shadow health minister,

and a loyal ally of Jeremy Corbyn and I asked her what she made of

this honour for Shami Chakrabarti. The issue about the resignation

honours is that if we never put anyone in the Lords from now on we

will find ourselves outnumbered every time and the trouble is, in

the Lords real people cast real votes on real legislation. Of course

the House of Lords needs reforming but until it happens, and I hope it

happens very soon, we cannot just allow the Tories to pile people into

the House of Lords and not nominate anybody. That would be making

ourselves losers before we begin. So you have to join in the cronyism? I

don't think the appointment of Shami Chakrabarti can be regarded as

cronyism in any regard. If anybody should be in the House of Lords on

merit, if anyone is an example to young women from diverse communities

it is Shami Chakrabarti and I'm glad she will take place in the House of

Lords. It was a story that David Cameron

was getting stick for but now the backlash is for Jeremy Corbyn and

even from his own party. I dare say it will rumble on.

Let's talk now to Beverley Douglass who supports Jeremy Corbyn.

Moonah Howard a Labour voter who's undecided

And Jade Azim who is in Owen Smith's camp.

As a Jeremy Corbyn support the, how did you think he did last night?

Quite well, he has been saying what he has been saying from the

beginning, that he is supporting workers right and making everybody

feel equal and I think he did really well. They were fighting over that

left ground, there was not that much different in policy. What heartens

me is that we have a point where we are OK talking about borrowing to

invest which is what we need with low interest rates. It is mostly

about who is the best advocate for those values and who can put them to

the general electorate. Who can sell it, and that is politics. And you

are saying that Jeremy Corbyn cannot do that? I'm looking at the

evidence, he is at -40, 30 points behind Theresa May, behind in terms

of Labour voters and if we could reach out to our own base, how can

we be a movement for the working class when Jeremy Corbyn is not the

right advocate to those communities? It is because Labour MPs who voted

against him and getting the vote of no confidence, they made it the

court that he is not a leader but he has not been given a chance. How are

you supposed to know? Everybody is just ganging up on him and it made

it seem that Jeremy Corbyn is this person that cannot be elected. Of

course people will listen to that and have bad ideas about it. This

coup was at the wrong time, after the referendum when we are supposed

to oppose the Tories, not our own leadership. It doesn't make sense to

me all thought it was at the wrong time to do it. If you're going to do

it, don't do it when they are vulnerable, they were laughing at

us. But it has happened, whether it was the right time or not, this is

the situation and we are having a leadership election. A lot of this

debate is about loyalties and about and underdog and people backstabbing

each other locally and nationally and people getting quite nasty about

loyalties to Jeremy Corbyn or anti-Corbin is and establishment

against antiestablishment and everybody just need to take stock of

where we are now and look at the candidates for who they are and what

their policies are and who they think is credible also has a

credible vision and can put that vision into practice which is what

I'm undecided because I don't want to be on a camp, I don't want to be

involved in that us versus them both up I want to listen to what they

have to say on their merit. Did last night help you make a decision? It

got quite personal. It did and I think the crowd was quite unfair,

there was a lot of booing and jeering. A lot of people already

knew what they were expecting Owen Smith to say and I don't think they

gave him a chance. I would agree that the PLP is a factor but it

cannot be the only one. We have consistently been behind apart from

one poll in terms of approval ratings and general polling since

Jeremy was elected and that cannot be taken in isolation with just the

PLP is a factor. To pick up on the point about the crowd last night

having made decisions beforehand and the booing, how do you feel as a

Corbyn supporter watching that? It is quite awkward. I don't get

involved with stuff like that. I listen to both side and I understand

where they are coming from. I'm not against Owen Smith, only on the

basis that I support Jeremy Corbyn because of his values. They are so

related to me, he represent me. Since he entered office in the 80s:

he has been on his values from day one. With Owen Smith, he has had a

record of being sexist towards women, he said about Liana would

that she was only on a debate because of her agenda. You cannot be

running for leadership and have 68 sexist view on someone. -- such a

sexist view. And he made a gaffe the other day that he apologised for but

do you have concerned that this is a time when the Labour Party should be

trying to go for the Tories and it is pulling itself apart? Could it

result in a split? I hope not. I think there is that threat but a lot

of MPs are in it for the right reasons. I genuinely think that. My

personal view is that we cannot take on the Tories, even if we are united

behind a leader who, looking at the evidence and hearing the canvassing

on the doorstep, Jeremy Corbyn is not reaching out to our communities.

It is not with uniting behind a leader who cannot unite the country.

I think he is reaching out to communities, so many people have

joined the Labour Party. There is no evidence. There is from people

joining the park it. -- the party. We had a million members throughout

the 50s and we did not win an election. I will let you carry on

discussing because you have a lot to say! Thank you for coming in. Here

the boys and their manager, Craig Tarry, were on their way back

from a music festival in Sweden when their car fell from a highway

All five people in the car were killed.

It was a tragic accident that sent shockwaves across the country.

Tributes poured in from fans, members of the public

and celebrities including Liam Gallagher and the Stone Roses.

Despite being in the midst of unbearable grief,

the families of the band decided to carry on their legacy

Then Coldplay performed a dedication to them at Glastonbury this

That performance propelled

the relatively unknown group into the musical stratosphere.

Now the families have released the band's self-titled album,

Viola Beach, and it looks set to enter the Official

Loved ones say it's the perfect way to remember the group.

Joining us now is Loren Dakin, the sister of Jack, their drummer

and Fin Reeves, the brother of guitarist River.

Thank you for coming in. Tell us about your brother. Jack was so

lively, he had to macro completely different sides, he was really wild

and the life of the party and fun and hilarious, but there was another

side of him that was so emotional and beautiful and quiet. You could

talk to him about anything and he would be there for anyone, the most

selfless, loving and kind human I have ever met. And you spend a lot

of time together? Yes, everybody said they thought we were twins

which was good because I'm five years older! But we literally spent

as much time as we did together, the only time I did not see him was when

he was touring but he would still ring me every night. My mum was

looking at his phone bill and it was all me! But we shared everything and

we were very close. He was my best friend, we talked about everything

and really loved each other. And what about River? He was very

similar to Jack. They were like that together, and he loved life and

wanted to live life to the full. From a young age, my parents and I

knew that he would be a performer, he was always dressing up and

jumping out to scare you and bouncing on your bed in the morning

and very lively but he has had a more quiet and down-to-earth side

and we used to have some very bonding conversations and he was a

thing, I don't want to steal your words but he was like my best friend

as well. When they were starting out, it

sounds like you hung out in some grotty clubs to see your brother

perform. We used to go, me and my boyfriend, we would go everywhere to

watch them. We would be in a dive sometimes, but sometimes you go in a

room with four or five people and we go in there and start dancing. But

it started getting to a point where I couldn't get to these places or I

was working, and to me, it clicked in my head that I can't get there.

They were starting to rock it. They were starting to really shoot off,

but originally River and Tom were not in the band, and then it got

more serious after college and when they joined it was perfect because

they were perfect at what they did and it rocketed from there. That was

the turning point? Yes. You followed River around? Yes, I remember him

when he first joined the band. He didn't make a big deal of it was

always very cool about it and said he was in this band called Viola

Beach and I thought they would be big. He had been a few bands before.

And then it very quickly snowballed and escalated and they were playing

readying and leads and the cavern club in Liverpool and I thought

maybe he is going to be famous. We knew he was going to be a performer

and on the stage but we didn't know how it would be. Originally maybe

through acting and he had a place in Manchester at an acting school but

then he joined Viola Beach and that was the happiest nine months of his

life, and that was him at his happiest and best. Men that awful

day in February and I cannot begin to imagine the journey you guys have

been on, but there was such a huge reaction to the death. Yes, it's an

awful thing to be going through, but what you can take comfort from is

that they were having the time of their lives and work in that car at

that moment and had just played their first gig in Europe and were

looking forward to everything up and coming and that is what they were

about, having a good time, and the support and everything that flowed

in from the likes of Coldplay and Liam Gallagher and people in the

music industry and outside was so great to see that these boys really

did reach out. We knew they were a band and they were doing well but we

had no idea how many people they had reached out to. That was comforting.

It's been a great comfort that although we are grieving, it seems

like the nation and the whole world are grieving with us and they have

really been touched by this and if anything has come from it, people

listen to their music, which is what they always wanted. It really is

awful but there is that little bit of something positive, as horrible

as it is, this is something they would love and adore and we would

not have been able to do that without the music industry and the

general public just listening and giving the music a chance. You

mentioned Coldplay, and Viola Beach have effectively played Glastonbury.

That is what Chris Martin said when he was up there, we will give them

their alternative future. We knew what it was like to be a young and

upcoming band and touring and having no money and trying to get gigs and

he said all this to us before in the green room and got us in a big group

and said these moving words. You knew they were genuinely moved by

the whole thing and wanted to do what they did and pay that amazing

tribute and it was the most phenomenal day of my life. It was

incredible to see him and his best mates on the screen at Glastonbury.

Thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people, you could not

see the end of the crowd and they were all cheering for River and Jack

and Viola Beach, and it was amazing. I feel like it has sped up the

process because of the tragic accident, but they would have been

there. They would have got there anyway. They were on their way to

the top, they always were and regardless of whether they were or

not, they were always number one to us. Was it hard to watch at the side

of the stage? Mixed emotions is such a cliche, but you know what I mean?

Yes, for me it was very overwhelming and I found it quite difficult to

cope, but with there being five separate families everybody deals

with it in different ways and they were dancing and enjoying themselves

and I was trying to, but there is a very dark undertone to it. It's

fabulous to see them on the stage and what Coldplay did was lovely but

at the same time it really hits home, and it has been in the public

eye so much, it's been hard to have the five minutes to yourself to sit

down and come to terms with what has happened and grieve in private. I

keep using the word bittersweet but it's the best way to describe it.

You are watching it and it's the most incredible thing, but at the

same time you think, I shouldn't be here and it shouldn't be happening

this way. It should be them on stage. But it is a bag of emotions

and a mix of emotions. The main thing for me was I was there and

enjoying it and soaking it in and seeing him up there on the Pyramid

Stage was the most amazing thing. Who started the conversation about

releasing the album that could and probably will go to number one

today? Immediately after the accident, we got together as a

family and the main thing we agreed on was that we needed to continue

their legacy and get the music out there because that is the journey

they were on and that is the journey that got cut short so abruptly so

the first thing we need to do is get the music out there because they had

done all the hard work. They would have gone on to make a lot more but

they would have made at least in Alba's worth and all that needed to

happen was rigged to be put together -- an album's worth. We have to say

thank you to all of the guys who did the dirty work. We had the idea and

we said we would give you full trust to put the album together and

they've done a fantastic job and it's an amazing album. Fingers

crossed, it looks like it will be number one today, which is

incredible. It's incredible I can't believe I'm saying. Did you have any

reservations about releasing it? This is what we wanted. I just meant

emotionally. For a while, was it hard to listen to their music? Yes,

at first I had it on repeat and then it wasn't doing me any good so I

tried to stay away from it for a while but since the album has been

released it has been on repeat because there were things I only

heard snippets of. Originally, all of those songs, I saw them, but

these were quite hush-hush, so my brother would say, listen to this

and I remember him with his headphones on but I never got to sit

there and listen to it because I didn't have access to it. River, on

the other hand, he played me the singles and he said you cannot hear

the other tracks they are not allowed to go out there. He didn't

trust you, did he? I'm not going to play them to anybody, River. You

will hear them when they come out. I had seen and heard them live and now

I've heard them professionally done on the album it is a fantastic

listen. Just a Regis e-mails of people coming in. Sam says I love

the fact that Viola Beach will be released a true act of memory from

family and friends. Also a tweet saying, watching Viola Beach on

Victoria Derbyshire is heartbreaking, their music will

speak for them. Thank you for coming in. Best of luck. What time do you

find out? I think it's about five o'clock. Thank you to everyone for

buying the album because that's an amazing support and we cannot thank

you enough. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks for coming in. Coming

up, the surprise resignation of Dame Lowell Goddard, the latest in a long

line of setbacks for the independent enquiry into child sex abuse.

People on average wages in large parts of England

are seeing their disposable income being swallowed up by high

rent costs, according to a BBC investigation.

Analysis shows the average rent for a one-bedroom

property in 161 districts, boroughs and cities is more

than 30% of the take-home salary for the area.

The housing charity, Shelter has blamed a "chronic housing

Our reporter Emily Unia has more on the story.

Emily, thanks for coming down. 30% is a huge amount. Presumably that

means some people would say there is no money left for a lot else,

certainly not much fun. Absolutely, and that is something that Shelter

are talking about, saying 30% is the maximum you should spend on rent or

a mortgage because they say can you still need money for transport and

food and other emergencies that, and the problem is a vast swathe of the

country is not in that situation. If you look at the average salad --

salary, it's 1000 600,000 -- it's one as ?600, but the cost of a one

bed flat or house is actually ?694 per month which is more than 30%.

People will struggle. In that is a huge regional variation. In London

and the south-east, the cost of rent is much higher but salaries on that

much higher. You would expect in London and the south-east because

that's what we always hear, but 161 borrowers and cities and that must

mean it goes far and wide. It's not just London and the south-east. You

will find places in other parts of the country, Cambridge, Warwick,

even Birmingham where you think prices are lower, people are taking

homeless in salary than they would be in London but the cost of living

is still relatively high. There are a few pockets of places,

particularly in the North of England where you get the magical proportion

where it is under 30% of salary on rent and therefore you have a better

quality-of-life. There may be other reasons other people aren't living

in these places. The quality-of-life might be varied by access to

services, but it does essentially seem a strong north and south

divide. This is simply down to a shortage of housing, is that what

the charity is saying? Basically. That is what Shelter is saying. They

want more homes to be built but for renting rather than just buying.

They want that focus on renting. The government has come back and said

that they have been helping people into home ownership. 300,000 people

since 2010. They say more than 900,000 homes have been built since

2009 but they know there must be more and they will invest ?8 billion

in 400,000 new homes to rent or buy and that is affordable homes in the

coming years. They are trying to do something about it but they know it

is not enough. Presumably a whole generation of young people rent for

ever at this rate. That is the truth of the matter and that is what the

housing campaigns are so worried about. They are saying we are

getting a situation where it is not just young people living in shared

housing, it's older people, people starting to have families and older

people at the other end of the scale, those who have reached

retirement and they do not own a home and have not paid off a

mortgage and are looking at how to rent. You see older people in house

shares with people they don't know. Shelter say it is uncertain and

insecure. What is interesting is the conversation about changing rent and

the way people have a tenancy, if they could create more secure

tenancies, that conversation is starting to happen. It seems that as

we realise people will not be altered by homes there must be

another solution. Thanks for talking to us. Coming up, the wait is over

as the Olympic torch arrives at the Christ the Redeemer statue at the

opening ceremony in America and our stadium. Let's get all the latest

weather with Alex Deacon. We will see fine weather around over

the course of the week and quite a lot of sunshine on offer and it will

get windy during the course of the afternoon. A couple of breezy and

blustery days but it is calmer and it is not just the North West, so

beautiful start the day. This guy is a bit milky. A lot of high cloud

around. And the sun will be hazy and it's quite grey in eastern England.

One or two bits of cloud but we will see increasing cloud across Northern

Ireland and western Scotland. One or two showers drifting in. Sunshine

and showers sums it up. Temperatures in the mid teens, and if we had

further south it should be low 20s and feeling lovely and lighter winds

than the last couple of days. More cloud in Wales and the Midlands and

the chance of one or two like showers here and there but for the

vast majority, fine, bright and it will feel warm in light winds were

2324 top of the shop. Although it is warm in the afternoon the

temperatures will drop sharply. If you're out it should be fine and dry

with a few showers across parts of Scotland, but even they fade by

morning. A bit of a chilly once a night compared to earlier in the

week. Much of northern Britain and rural areas. High-pressure in

control for the start of the weekend. It brings dry and fine

weather, but high -- behind me lurks something ugly. An intense area of

low pressure and this will increase the wind, slowly but surely and it

will also show a bit of rain across Northern Ireland into parts of

Scotland but for most places Saturdays dryer and the winds are

still light. As a result, it will feel warmer than today and over 25

Celsius. Then the winds pick up on Saturday night and Sunday is a

blustery day. An unusually windy day for the time of year with the

likelihood of gales in parts of Scotland and northern England. Just

bear that in mind that your plans. A bit of rain across Scotland and

Northern Ireland but the most, Sunday will be a fine day with sunny

spells and it will be a bit windy, and as a result, fresher. Through

the weekend we will see rain at times in Scotland and it will be

blustery on Sunday, but for England and Wales, sunny spells on Saturday

and Sunday. If you are after something warmer, Rio is the place

to head. 30 degrees in Rio and only a bit lower for the opening ceremony

tonight. Hello it's Friday, it's ten o'clock,

I'm Chloe Tilley in for Victoria, welcome to the programme

Clive Coleman reports. Following the resignation of two

former chairwomen, New Zealand judge was appointed by the then

Home Secretary Theresa May to be the steadying hand needed

on the inquiry that many thought had lost its way

before it had even started. Set up in the wake of

the Jimmy Savile scandal, it was to be a vast,

wide-ranging inquiry that would examine child abuse in public

that during her first year, she spent three months

on inquiry business and remained Her resignation is the latest

setback for the inquiry, The first chair, Baroness Butler

the jab can work in 20 monkeys too. They tested three types of vaccine,

two with genes from Zika, and one which was an inactive

but it just happened and it felt right.

I couldn't imagine doing anything else.

Some independent agencies are not-for-profit, but the eight

largest agencies made around ?41 million in profit last year.

Some of those are offering carers like Jan ?2000 or ?3000 to transfer

from the local authority to their organisation.

Councils say they can end up paying almost double

We really object strongly to these golden hellos,

where, to be honest, as a local authority,

we are recruiting and training and supporting these foster carers,

and that costs us a lot of money, and we are very committed to that.

Then these agencies come along with a golden hello

and take our foster carers, and we are out of pocket massively.

there are discrepancies with the way councils compare in-house

And often carers transfer for the child's benefit.

The government has announced a review of foster care in England

and soon Jan will start training other therapeutic carers in the hope

that more will open their homes to children in need in the future.

That is the latest news, more at 10:30am. Thank you. Earlier we were

showing you some live pictures from Rio where it was quite dark, but the

Olympic torch will be heading there late on but now the sun is coming up

and it is a beautiful shot. The torch will be heading to the

Maracana Stadium later. A lot of you have been getting in touch with us,

we have been getting those Olympic Dai Rees. -- Olympic Dai Rees -- Dai

Kat Driscoll is one of those taking part. Chloe says she cannot wait to

watch the Olympics and David says he loves the Olympics and will be

watching every minute. Well done to the parade athlete whose hamstring

went but who was determined to cross the line. He should have some sort

of medal. That was Derek Redmond who spoke to us early on Ulster he was

speaking to John Watson who is here with the sport. As you say, the

opening ceremony is tonight but sport wise we are still talking

about Lizzie Armitstead who is given a hugely emotional interview in

which she says she fears nobody will believe she is competing as a clean

athlete. She was close to tears responding to criticism she has

faced after missing three drugs tests which could have led to a ban

from the Olympics before she successfully appealed the first and

is free to compete in the women's road race on Sunday. People are

going to judge me and my family. I would never cheat, not in any walk

of life, I wouldn't cheat. And... Like you say, people will think I'm

a cheat for the rest of my life and that's because of not taking a form

on a box. And I don't mean to make it sound trivial, it's not, it is a

fight we all had to take responsibility for and as world

champion I should take it higher than anybody else. But something

happened to me and my family that I couldn't control and that is more

important to me than cycling. I'm not at the point of accepting it yet

but I will have to come to the point where I accept that people will

doubt me for ever. It is about me and my family. Not ideal preparation

for her going into that road race. Andy Murray says carrying the GB

flag at the opening ceremony will be the number one moment of his career.

Despite his three major tennis titles and Olympic gold from 2012,

he told Dan Walker that nothing will top leading out the GB athletes

later. I have never felt like that before, I just felt unbelievably

proud and humbled. It doesn't get much bigger than that, the chance to

lead out your country in an Olympic Games is amazing and I'm very proud

so hopefully I do a good job! Where does it rank in your career? Number

one, for sure, bigger than winning a tournament. Personally, I've never

felt that proud. Away from Rio, England have work to do on day three

of the third test against Pakistan with the visitors resuming just 40

runs behind England just three wickets down. The series is level at

1-1. Patrick is at Edgbaston, things are not going England's way in this

match? Indeed, ten wickets fell on day one but only three on the second

day and that was a reflection of the game with Pakistan in control. The

third wicket fell with the final ball of the day, Azhar Ali, who had

already made 139. He was dropped after lunch by Joe Root but it was a

well-planned and well thought out piece of batting by Azhar Ali

alongside Sami Aslam as they put on a big second wicket partnership. The

England bowlers have struggled to deal with him. Jimmy Anderson got

tetchy with the umpires at one stage and England have not offered a

threat so they must take with it this morning if they are to stay in

a match. Pakistan are only 40 runs behind with seven first-innings

wickets in hand and they will want to get a long way ahead and put

England under real pressure for the rest of this Test match.

Four years ago it was all about gold medals at the Olympic Stadium, and

now it is goals as West Ham settled into their new home with a victory

last night in their first match of the new grant-making a winning start

beating the Slovenian side -- new ground making a winning start.

Kouyate scored twice in a 3-0 win. Spare a thought for Aberdeen who

missed a penalty had a man sent off and scored in added time with an own

goal seeing them knocked out by Maribor. That is all the sport for

now and I will have more at around 1030.

The resignation of Dame Lowell Goddard is the latest

in the long line of set backs for the Independent Inquiry

In her statement the New Zealand judge said the inquiry

legacy of failure had been "very hard to shake off".

The first chair, Baroness Butler-Sloss,

was appointed in July 2014, but she stood down a week later.

Dame Fiona Woolf succeeded her the following September,

but resigned less than two months later.

They'd both been criticised for being too close

Finally Justice Lowell Goddard took over the role in February 2015,

We can talk to the chief Executive of an organisation that supports

victims of child abuse. And Mari is a barrister specialising in sexual

abuse cases. Thanks joining us. First of all, Gabrielle, how

difficult is this for survivors of abuse, to seek a third judge stand

down? I think it's very difficult indeed and let's not underestimate

how difficult it is for survivors in the first place to talk about what

happened to them and to come forward. So long for so many years

they were not believed and treated quite badly. So when the enquiry was

set up in the first place, that was really good and it was in it

knowledge meant it had happened -- it was an acknowledgement it had

happened and the state had recognised it and something was

being about it. Two of the judges were considered too close to the

establishment because the voices of survivors spoke up in protest

against it. Then we thought we had a third time lucky with someone. And

survivors were happy? Yes, they went to the other side of the world to

find someone with no establishment links and moreover somebody who

really put survivors and victims at the heart of the enquiry. She was so

adamant about that setting up a consultation pal and making sure

survivors were the heart of it, and for her to resign, and we've seen it

already, that has caused a lot of upset and disquiet. Is it clear why

she went? It was a brief resignation statement. It is unclear at all. The

resignation statement was two lines and it simply said, I am resigning

and I hope you accept the resignation. Whilst it is perfectly

acceptable to resign in that way it does not help the survivors of abuse

why this lady who had decided to leave the enquiry at this stage.

Presumably it will hinder the process? The people still within the

enquiry are desperate tellers that the work is ongoing and although

they cannot tell us about it we should all understand that the work

will continue in the absence of the chair but the purpose of the chair

is to drive it and to ensure that all people can be heard and there

will be, no doubt a delay while someone else is putting post, and

while a person gets up to speed with what happened already. You make a

good point but let's not forget the infrastructure behind this. It is

massive, as if it's something that goes over 13 strands of life in the

UK where the abuse took place. It is not just down to one person that is

where it would stand in for it was an investment into skilled people

making this go forward and I think that reassurance, we needed from the

Home Secretary, which she has already given in her response, but

also from the Prime Minister who set up the enquiry in the first place

and is so committed to making this happen for victims and survivors.

That reassurance would be essential to calm down a very agitated

situation. We also had figures released today by the Office of

National Statistics about the full extent of sexual abuse in this

country. Let's talk about the figures on whether they reflect what

is really going on out there. Absolutely. So good to have this

question included for the first time in the survey being done. If

anything, from our experience there is an underestimate. What are the

figures? They say it 11% of people have experienced some form of sexual

abuse in childhood as a minor and it focused on rape and penetration. We

know from the helpline that it takes years for survivors to actually

report what happened to them because it is so traumatic, the experience,

and having to think about having to talk about it read from a tie is as

them. We think it is about 15 or 20 years before you can pick up the

phone and seek out support, but what it demonstrates is the prevalence of

sexual abuse in this country is far wider than people would like to

realise. It is true. Nobly wants to think about a society where

assaulting children takes place, but it does happen and only by

addressing it head-on can we protect the children of the future. Mary,

through a long time in this country, the justice system has been

criticised for the way it has dealt with people who are survivors of

sexual abuse, often looking at their lifestyle, criticising them. How

important is it that that system improves in light of the figures

that we here? I think the system has improved dramatically over the last

ten years. If you go back ten years, 20 years or even further, the way

that victims of child abuse, whether they came forward as children or

adults survivors were dealt with left an enormous amount to be

desired. That is not to suggest it is perfect. There are supposedly

dedicated teams, and we now have counselling systems in place and

there are support a system to help people go through the court process.

There are now lawyers and judges who are trained to deal with these

cases. I know you have worked with so many people through the system.

What does it do for a survivor of sexual abuse when they ceased -- see

that justice is served? It takes a lump of concrete from the heart and

lifts it. I don't think, unless you have worked with survivors of

certain sexual abuse that you have any clear understanding of the

enormous pain and suffering that they go through, not only while it

happens but throughout their lives. They feel left out, and often, you

know, as sad as it is they did tell, they were not believed, either

because they were in a care institution or because the person

they were complaining about was somebody famous or a member of the

Church or a professional in some way and often even in the home people

are not believed. So they've lived not only with a legacy of sexual

abuse but a legacy of being disbelieved when they had the

courage to tell. It has enormous impact on people. I have seen over

the years people have the courage, and it does take enormous courage to

come forward and have their say, to be in a courtroom and have 12

members of the public say, I know you are telling the truth, and you

can see the difference. It is dramatic. Sorry to interrupt but I

agree that is a great way to describe it. And to build on that

point, likewise, what we see in this country is a lack of for the ongoing

support of survivors that is needed. Not all survivors do this. It is not

the case for all survivors that they can actually get that justice that

they want and deserve either because the case is not brought forward or

the perpetrator is dead or for whatever reason. So the on going

support they need to rebuild their lives and deal with the problems

that come forward is absolutely necessary, and there is a lack of

that support. The survivors trust and others, local charities that do

great work are there, but there is a real lack of that complete support

needed for survivors. Thank you so much coming in and talking us. Still

to come, the 31st Olympic Games officially open in Rio will later

today. So what can we expect? Demonstrations are being

organised across England The events fall one day

after the fifth anniversary of the death of Mark Duggan,

shot dead by police in Tottenham, and one day before the fifth

anniversary of the riots Black Lives Matter is a hashtag

and movement that has grown up to protest against police killings

of black people in America. It is an organisation

and a collection of ordinary people who tweet the slogan

'Black Lives Matter'. So what does the movement hope

to achieve in the UK Imani Robinson is a spokesperson

for Black Lives Matter UK. Toyin Agbetu is the Founder

of Ligali, an African human rights organisation that challenges

the misrepresentation of African Kadija Sesay, is an activist

and publisher of SABLE LitMag. Her cousin Sheku Bayoh died

after being arrested and restrained in Kirkcaldy,

Scotland in May 2015. Thank you all for coming in to speak

to us today. First of all, explain to us, people will probably be

familiar with the Black Lives Matter movement in the US, but they might

ask why it is necessary in the UK? I would say that the Black Lives

Matter project in the UK is very needed because we live in a context

of anti-blackness and anti-black racism. So we are organising around

the injustices that we receive as black people and as people of colour

generally in the UK. Talk to us, if you would, about your own story and

the that your family have encountered. My cousin died in

police custody on the 3rd of May 20 15. The first I heard about it was

the next day and my cousin, who has the same name as me, says that Sheku

has died. How quantum? She described the horror story of

how the police had turned up to the house five times in the space of

about five hours giving five different versions of the story of

how he had been arrested. At that time they did not even say that he

was actually dead. They did not know he was dead until the middle of the

afternoon and he had in fact died in the morning when they had gone out

after being called to say there is a man on the street with a knife. They

saw my cousin. This is what we believe happened. They saw my cousin

and they assumed it was him who had the knife although no knife has ever

been found. And he was restrained and by the time he got to the

hospital he was dead. After he was restrained he never actually got up

again. But he was restrained with irons, as if he was a slave, and

taken to a hospital. Of course, that is one case and there are many

cases, but it goes beyond the relationship between black people

and the police in this country, doesn't it? Why do you think the

whole movement is so important for people in the UK to embrace, as they

have so embraced it in the US? Simply because it happens in the UK.

Nobody has been condemned for this. There has been nobody in all of the

cases that have happened in the UK, there have been no book -- no

convictions. There have been thousands of people who have gone

through this since the early 90s and there have been no convictions

whatsoever. People need to realise this happens in the UK all of the

time in state institutions, it happens. And just because it is not

a gun, and a lot of the times it could be any other form of

restraint, and people are not aware that is happening. I am sure lots of

people would say that the IPCC is not here to defend itself and lots

of people who work in institutions would say it does not happen every

day, but I understand the point you are making, that there are questions

that need to be asked incidents. You were nodding and some of the wines

she was making. It's funny, because today of the Olympics in Rio, and in

1968, the Black Power movement, they made it clear that we have to be

involved in addressing the issues. We have the Human Rights Act in 1998

and the abolishment of the CRE in 2007 and we are in a situation after

Brexit with increased racism in the UK and people are saying we don't

need a Black Lives Matter movement. The reality is if people like this

manner are being killed and we are having people passing away from

asphyxia, and the IPCC, it is common knowledge it is ineffective. And in

Scotland even more ineffective. It is not call the same thing as in

England. We need a movement that recognises the fact that this is a

normalised form of terrorism. Do you think, and I've spoken to so many

people from the Black Lives Matter movement in the US, and they have

told me that it is over racism in the US that they experienced day in,

day out. Do you think in the UK it's more hidden which is why people say

we do not need the movement? It is more evident but what has

happened with the recent Brexit vote is that people have become

emboldened. We had 857% increase in racist attacks, 52% of the

population voting to kick out migrants. Not everybody was voting

for that. I said that but the whole thrust of the campaign was to get

rid of migrants. If you are an African person walking down the

street, and this has happened to me, you are seeing young people being

harassed and humiliated, stopped and stared for no good reason, not

arrested afterwards but demonised and humiliated. There is a cause to

recognise that there is something ugly in society and growing and

Black Lives Matter simply says to treat us with dignity and invoke

justice. There has to be some kind of penalty if somebody has lost

their life. We know that when the EU campaign started, one of the big

things was this anti-human rights kind of mantra that happened. One of

the things about that the right to life and also no torture. At an

African, I grew up as a young person in Britain watching what happened in

South Africa and that was terrorising. To be stopped and

searched and harassed, and I have been beaten up by police officers,

and as he might sons and daughter going through the same experience...

Do you tell them to behave in a certain way is that stopped by

police? Is that an ordinary thing to do here? I think what you are

referring to is respectability politics which is this idea that

depending on how we behave, we can somehow save ourselves from being

abused by police and state institutions. That is really not the

case. It is important that no matter how we behave, that the public know

and the police know that we get killed anyway. What support do you

want? Speaking to people in the US from your movement, they have said

that white people need to use their privilege rather than standing there

with banners, they need to say, this has to stop. Is this the kind of

action you would want here? Absolutely. Being silent on issues

like this is really complicit, it is about complicity in a racist, state

sanctioned, violent situation for black people. I would say that a lot

of white people have been very vocal in anti-racist movement but there

needs to be an intentionality about being led by people of colour, by

black people in the UK who have been saying the same things for many

years. I have been rereading Enoch Powell's Rivers Of Blood Centres

We are still talking about Lizzie Armitstead who has given a very

emotional interview. She said she fears people will think she is a

cheat for the rest of her career. Just two days away from competing on

Sunday, she says she fears people will for ever doubt she is a clean

athlete. Andy Murray says carrying the GB

flag is the greatest moment in his career. England have work to do on

day three of the third test. A century from Azhar Ali yesterday saw

Pakistan dominating the second day and they will resume on 257-3, just

40 behind England on first innings. No wonder they were celebrating

yesterday. And for years on from London 2012, West Ham have been

is pretty obvious where you are! You are waiting for the torch? Yes, no

mistaking this diet and what a way to start the day at the foot of the

iconic Christ the Redeemer statue high above Rio, watching the sun

rise on the morning of the day that will bring the Olympics to South

America for the first time. We are expecting the talks to arrive here

at any moment. It was supposed to arrive at 6:30am local time and is

running about seven minutes late but after a three-month journey around

Brazil, taking in 300 cities, the torch is due any moment. For the

rest of the day it will be touring the host city, taking in the sight

of the city before at sunset it is due at Sugarloaf Mountain, another

famous Rio landmark. It will then go to the Maracana Stadium which I can

see them appear for the opening ceremony which begins at 8pm local

time, midnight in the UK. Thousands of people will be involved in that,

35,000 people involved in putting that opening ceremony on and of

course the Olympic flame will like the cauldron. 12 samba bands will be

there to welcome it, the traditional carnival music which provides the

soundtrack to Rio. And of course there will be 11,000 athletes as

well in the stadium to watch the cauldron being lit. I can hear a bit

of a hubbub behind me as the press can see the small flame arriving

that will be used to light the Olympic torch. I will keep my eye on

that for you. I can't actually see it at the moment so we will carry on

talking about the opening ceremony! I am told that the themes for the

ceremony will be the history Brazil and the environment here which is

quite an interesting topic since the pollution in the waters around Rio

de Janeiro that will host the rowing and sailing and open water swimming

have been a major point of concern in the build-up, as of course has

been political and social unrest. We understand that protests are planned

around the stadium against the sheer cost of hosting these games at a

time when Brazil itself is in a deep recession. The authorities and

police have often used stun grenade and rubber bullets and tear gas to

disperse crowds that have often turned violent in such protests so

there are fears of similar scenes tonight as the opening ceremony gets

underway. Authorities will want to snuff out any unrest before the

sport start in earnest tomorrow. Tell us exactly where the torch has

been. It has been on a mammoth journey around the country. It has.

The flame was lit back in Greece and has made its way across the world,

taking in 300 cities across Brazil, gradually coming to Rio. It arrived

here yesterday, coming across the bay into this city. It will make its

way from here at the foot of Christ the Redeemer around the city to some

of the famous landmarks of the city, along Copacabana beach, along to

Sugarloaf Mountain which is a big edifice sticking out into the bay.

The early morning sun is just catching it because it is dawn here

in Brazil. It will be there at sunset and it will then go along the

coast to the Maracana which is just over on the left. Thank you for

speaking to us. You can always rely on the fact that if you go somewhere

live to find an Olympic torch, it will not arrive on time!
