:04:05. > :04:07.There were many, many dark days, where I couldn't really see how this

:06:05. > :06:12.The attacks started yesterday in the southern town of Trang, that one

:06:13. > :06:16.bomb which killed a food vendor and then there were another couple in

:06:17. > :06:19.the coastal resort of Hua Hin, hitting a bar area and injuring at

:06:20. > :06:26.least ten foreigners and killing another local food vendor. Two

:07:14. > :07:16.long-running southern insurgency which has been going on in the deep

:07:17. > :07:21.south of Thailand for the past 12 years. The attacks are very summit

:07:22. > :07:26.of the kind we have seen in the deep South, the rather shadowy

:07:27. > :07:29.separatists in the South have used these kind of attacks against the

:07:30. > :07:39.tight security forces and this pattern would seem to fit their mode

:07:43. > :07:46.tourism, they have never ready operated outside of the South, and

:07:47. > :07:51.it will be interesting to see where the Thai investigation goes, but at

:07:52. > :07:56.the moment we have tourists hiding in their hotels and streets

:07:57. > :07:59.deserted, this is the Queen's birthday, an important day in

:08:00. > :08:02.Thailand, and the authorities are struggling to come up with a

:08:03. > :08:04.narrative which explains why we have seen such a co-ordinated series of

:08:05. > :08:08.attacks at this time. One of the three British schoolgirls

:08:09. > :08:11.who travelled to Syria to join the so called Islamic State group

:08:12. > :08:14.is believed to have been killed. Kadiza Sultana was 16 when she left

:08:36. > :08:40.from Bethnal Green Academy and her two 15-year-old

:08:41. > :08:43.schoolfriends, Amira Abase and Shamima Begum, had

:08:44. > :08:45.told their parents they were heading In reality, they were beginning

:08:46. > :08:52.a journey that would take them via Turkey to join

:08:53. > :08:55.the self-styled Islamic State. They are thought to have been living

:08:56. > :08:58.in Raqqa, the IS stronghold Now, having not seen her for 18

:08:59. > :09:03.months, Kadiza Sultana's family Although it has not been verified,

:09:04. > :09:09.a few weeks ago they heard news she had been killed

:09:10. > :09:12.during a Russian air strike. Well, they're very

:09:13. > :09:17.obviously devastated. There's nothing worse than finding

:09:18. > :09:20.out that your sibling or your family And by all accounts,

:09:21. > :09:23.she was a young girl And it's a great loss

:09:24. > :09:31.to all of us, really. Kadiza Sultana's family says she had

:10:14. > :10:15.a further three days over the Bank Holiday weekend

:10:16. > :10:18.at the end of August. Eurostar has made a handful

:10:19. > :10:20.of changes to its timetable and says passengers with reservations can

:10:21. > :10:23.travel as normal. Our correspondent Adam Fleming

:10:24. > :10:40.is at St Pancras International Tell us about the reasons behind the

:10:41. > :10:47.strike and how passengers are going to be affected. The strike is being

:10:48. > :10:51.held by members of the RMT union and the people who have walked out the

:10:52. > :10:54.train managers, members of staff to check tickets and make announcements

:10:55. > :11:01.on the train and supervise the journey between London and France or

:11:02. > :11:08.Belgium. This is the picket line behind us, we have heard whistles.

:11:09. > :11:11.They say the root of the dispute is that the management of Eurostar have

:11:12. > :11:16.gone back on a deal which was done with staff in 2008 about their

:11:17. > :11:20.worklife balance and train managers feel the deal is being ignored and

:11:21. > :11:26.they are working too many bank holidays and too many weekends and

:11:27. > :11:30.too many early shifts, in comparison to their colleagues who work on this

:11:31. > :11:35.service in France and Belgium, that is what the strike is about. In

:11:36. > :11:39.terms of the impact on passengers, fairly minimal, Eurostar cancelled a

:11:40. > :11:44.couple of services between London and Brussels today, no cancellations

:11:45. > :11:49.tomorrow, four trains have been cancelled between London and Paris

:11:50. > :11:56.on Sunday and another two on Monday, so eight services, and Eurostar said

:11:57. > :12:00.they would normally run 200 over that period, so not many trains have

:12:01. > :12:04.been affected by this industrial action. The company and the unions

:12:05. > :12:10.are in talks about trying to solve this issue, and in other train

:14:01. > :14:04.about a good day for Team GB Credit for the gold goes

:14:05. > :14:09.to GB Cycling once again. You may remember the raft of medals

:14:10. > :14:13.they took at London 2012, And the first gold for GB

:14:14. > :14:20.on the track came in the men's With Philip Hindes, Callum Skinner

:14:21. > :14:26.and Jason Kenny taking gold ahead of New Zealand - the result is even

:14:27. > :14:28.more remarkable given they set an Olympic Record,

:14:29. > :14:31.just 4 months after finishing sixth at the Track World

:14:32. > :14:33.Championships in London. And that gold sets up

:14:34. > :14:35.Jason Kenny in particular, because he will go as one

:14:36. > :14:38.of the favourites in the the individual sprint and keirin

:14:39. > :14:41.with the chance to equal Sir Chris Hoy's British record

:14:42. > :14:43.of six Olympic gold medals. And while we are talking cycling,

:14:44. > :14:46.Great Britain's women broke the world record in qualifying

:14:47. > :14:49.in the women's team pursuit, so much to look forward

:14:50. > :14:56.to from the Velodrome in Rio. Some big parties in Fiji? I'm sure

:14:57. > :15:08.there are. It's the first time

:15:09. > :15:10.Rugby Sevens has been included at an Olympic Games and it has

:15:11. > :15:13.provided a fantastic slice The only sad thing from a British

:15:14. > :15:17.point of view is that Fiji's first ever Olympic medal

:15:18. > :15:19.of any colour came at the expense But the Fijians were very deserving

:15:20. > :15:26.winners, they scored 7 tries in the final match -

:15:27. > :15:29.their President said, "Never have It's just a sign of

:15:30. > :15:33.the significance that Olympic achievement holds

:15:34. > :15:35.across the globe. There was a small piece of British

:15:36. > :15:37.success there, though, the former England Sevens coach

:15:38. > :15:40.Ben Ryan led the Fiji side to gold so it's congratulations

:15:41. > :15:53.to him as well. A fantastic achievement for

:15:54. > :15:59.Katherine Grainger. Just incredible. If the achievement for her. She won

:16:00. > :16:05.silver medals for she finally took the gold medal at London 2012. She

:16:06. > :16:12.left the sport for two years. She wanted to make Rio but preparation

:16:13. > :16:15.was not ideal. She and her partner were aiming for a place in the

:16:16. > :16:21.women's eight for a while for that they were in touch with Poland,

:16:22. > :16:25.leading at the halfway stage in the end of the British pair ran out of

:16:26. > :16:30.steam, to be pipped by Poland. It was a silver to be proud of,

:16:31. > :16:39.especially for the 40-year-old Grainger -- Katherine Grainger. I

:16:40. > :16:42.remember at the start thinking, if I came away with anything, it would

:16:43. > :16:47.properly be my greatest achievement. There were many dark days. To be

:16:48. > :16:53.standing here with a medal around my neck, it is great. Mum and dad, I

:16:54. > :17:01.promise, I will never put you through that again. Where are we in

:17:02. > :17:05.the medals table? The other medal yesterday was David Florence and

:17:06. > :17:08.Richard Hounslow. It was another silver medal in the canoe double.

:17:09. > :17:14.What those three silvers and the goal means in the medal table, a

:17:15. > :17:19.rise for Team GB. They are eighth in the table. It is one point ahead of

:17:20. > :17:25.the last time round in London for some it is going very well. What

:17:26. > :17:29.should we be looking out for today? There is a lot. Today sees the start

:17:30. > :17:36.of the track and field events in Rio. Usain Bolt will be taking to

:17:37. > :17:41.the track on Saturday. Before that, from 1:30 p.m., we will seek Jessica

:17:42. > :17:48.Ennis Hill beginning the defence of her Olympic heptathlon crown.

:17:49. > :17:51.Katarina Johnson Thompson is a real medal prospect this time around as

:17:52. > :17:55.well so they will be starting with the 100 metre hurdles. Both of those

:17:56. > :18:00.hopefully will make a good start. Joe Pavey will be going in the

:18:01. > :18:05.10,000 metres. Andy Murray will be playing in his quarterfinal in the

:18:06. > :18:15.men's singles. In the rowing, we're looking at Helen standing and

:18:16. > :18:19.Glover. From 10:20 p.m., Sir Bradley Wiggins will be back at the

:18:20. > :18:24.velodrome, aiming to become the first Briton to win eight Olympic

:18:25. > :18:28.medals in the team pursuit final. There could be more medals to come

:18:29. > :18:42.on day seven. We'll be speaking to a mother

:18:43. > :18:47.who lost her daughter in a boating accident and only now, after 13

:18:48. > :19:05.years, has got compensation. The biggest competition for Jessica

:19:06. > :19:09.Ennis Hill will come from Katarina Johnson Thompson. Let's cross to

:19:10. > :19:15.Sheffield where Mike Bushell is at the training ground of Jessica Ennis

:19:16. > :19:20.Hill. I'd bet they are hoping for a repeat of super Saturday. Wouldn't

:19:21. > :19:25.it be amazing to have both Brits involved. Just watching some of the

:19:26. > :19:30.human kangaroos that Jeff Ennis Hill has helped inspire over the years.

:19:31. > :19:35.-- Jessica Ennis Hill. Doing really well with the long jump as well. He

:19:36. > :19:41.might have spotted the former British Olympian, Jamie Meadows, who

:19:42. > :19:47.is just helping us out with her new job. -- Jenny Meadows. You're really

:19:48. > :19:53.here to talk to us about the fascinating showdown between the two

:19:54. > :19:56.Brits. Jessica Ennis Hill hoping to become the first female British

:19:57. > :20:01.athlete to retain title. Katarina Johnson Thompson has never really

:20:02. > :20:06.done at the big event. It is a mouthwatering prospect. Jessica is

:20:07. > :20:11.doing really well. She came back from childbirth to win the world

:20:12. > :20:15.title last year. Katrina is at the top of her game. She competed really

:20:16. > :20:22.well in the London anniversary games. It will be a close contest.

:20:23. > :20:25.It is about whether she can handle the pressure put up she was

:20:26. > :20:30.disqualified the node jumps at the World Championships. Otherwise she

:20:31. > :20:36.would have medals. -- disqualified for no jumps. Hopefully she has

:20:37. > :20:45.learned her lesson and can build on it. Hopefully Rio will be a place

:20:46. > :20:50.she can sign. Only twice in the Olympics have mums come back from

:20:51. > :20:56.having a baby and triumphed. Jess is a phenomenal talent. If anyone can

:20:57. > :21:03.do it but she can. It is such a difficult thing. To actually do it

:21:04. > :21:10.in seven events is a lot of training. I am backing that she can

:21:11. > :21:13.do it. There is a third contender we must talk about, the Canadian, who

:21:14. > :21:21.has the best school in the year so far. I think that will help the

:21:22. > :21:25.British girls. -- the best score. Jessica keeps saying I am not the

:21:26. > :21:32.favourite. Maybe it is nice to go into the championship is not having

:21:33. > :21:36.been number one feeling. Breanne really unfolded last year with

:21:37. > :21:40.just's is on in the World Championships. I think she will have

:21:41. > :21:43.learnt from that. She is on top of her game was a bit of it is a really

:21:44. > :21:51.close contest was that I think some great schools will be achieved. Talk

:21:52. > :21:58.us through how it works. -- great schools. Jess starts really well in

:21:59. > :22:03.the hurdles. Katarina Johnson Thompson is great at the high jump

:22:04. > :22:08.and solid in the hurdles. They cannot slip up on any events which

:22:09. > :22:14.are their best. We are looking for a great start in the first morning of

:22:15. > :22:18.the competition. It all concludes on Saturday night with the 800 metres

:22:19. > :22:24.quite your specialist event. What is the key to that? All three of the

:22:25. > :22:28.girls, their personal bests are very closely matched. They are all within

:22:29. > :22:33.one second. It is about seeing how many points they can score. Tactics

:22:34. > :22:36.will be involved. The last 100 metres will be very close between

:22:37. > :22:42.all three of them. It is what position they have built up going

:22:43. > :22:48.into the last event. We cannot wait to see it on the BBC. Can you do us

:22:49. > :22:57.a Michael Phelps games face? -- game face? It looks quite alarm. That's

:22:58. > :23:15.hope they are not feeling glum after tomorrow! Jo Pavey will also be in

:23:16. > :23:20.the stadium. There was a men's team sprint gold last night. Tessa

:23:21. > :23:27.Sanderson competed at six Olympic Games and won gold in javelin in

:23:28. > :23:38.1984 in LA. Emma Trott is a retired road racing cyclist and is the

:23:39. > :23:43.oldest sister and -- sister. Have you spoken to your brother-in-law

:23:44. > :23:49.since he won his fourth gold? No, I have not spoken to Jason personally.

:23:50. > :23:54.We have a bit of a family chat going on with mum and dad in Rio as well

:23:55. > :23:59.and Laura being there. We have seen pictures of Laura sending pictures

:24:00. > :24:03.back to us. I should say your brother-in-law to be. They are not

:24:04. > :24:15.married yet. Anything can happen. You never know. What is that group

:24:16. > :24:22.you have setup? Just a family chat on WhatsApp. A family thing. It is

:24:23. > :24:27.good to keep athletes focused on other stuff, not just the Olympic

:24:28. > :24:33.bubble, so to speak. How are you distracting them? Just jokes. We had

:24:34. > :24:40.a joke going for a long time. Pictures of what I'm getting up to

:24:41. > :24:47.in New Zealand and stuff. Just life things, not living in a village, I

:24:48. > :24:51.suppose. Even now I bet you're delighted with the wind from a

:24:52. > :25:02.family viewpoint, beating New Zealand must be tough. -- with the

:25:03. > :25:06.win. I am happy for the Brits. Team sprint was an event where they took

:25:07. > :25:14.a lot of flak going into it. There was was going to be difficult to

:25:15. > :25:21.find someone. When Chris retired, he was outstanding in every respect.

:25:22. > :25:28.For them guys, it was almost, this is us. Chris Hoy is tipping Jason

:25:29. > :25:35.Kenney for three golds. What do you think? It would not surprise me. It

:25:36. > :25:40.would not be a shock. He is the four year man. He goes quite for three

:25:41. > :25:48.years and on the fourth he is back in business. It will be called. Good

:25:49. > :25:55.for his confidence. -- cool. He deserves it. He works as hard as

:25:56. > :26:00.anyone else. It would equal the amount of medals that Chris Hoy has.

:26:01. > :26:06.Let's not forget your sister set a world record in qualifying

:26:07. > :26:10.yesterday. It is a big day for her. They are not riding today. They have

:26:11. > :26:16.a day. It is only the men's team pursuit ride today. They have a day

:26:17. > :26:21.then there are competing again on Saturday, I believe, Rio time. It is

:26:22. > :26:28.a good marker, isn't it? A good step. You want to be that team that

:26:29. > :26:32.everyone has now got to chase. They were a second clear of America, who

:26:33. > :26:39.was was be their biggest rivals. Six seconds clear of Australia. That

:26:40. > :26:44.rivalry is huge. I think they have put the marker down now. It is up to

:26:45. > :26:50.them to go out and prove they have it in the tank for another two

:26:51. > :26:54.rides. How hard has she been training for this? Really hard. It

:26:55. > :26:59.is a long process. For years is a long time. It was always going to be

:27:00. > :27:06.difficult to expect GB to go out and be as strong and all guns blazing as

:27:07. > :27:11.they work in London. London was the home games and special for so many

:27:12. > :27:15.reasons. Laura is the kind of person who loves riding her bike. She does

:27:16. > :27:21.not know anything else she really enjoys it. For Laura, she should not

:27:22. > :27:26.call it a job, Chi should call it a hobby because she loves it that

:27:27. > :27:30.much. She wants to win. She is a winner. That is the attitude she

:27:31. > :27:36.has. Every training session she will do 100% so she can go and win. A

:27:37. > :27:41.great attitude to have. Thank you for joining us.

:27:42. > :27:50.Tessa, over to you. Everything is in the big arena full stop it has all

:27:51. > :27:54.been so fantastic. I have been watching everything was even Jason

:27:55. > :27:59.last night. All the swimming. The big buzz, I think, for Team GB, is

:28:00. > :28:04.the way we have started. Swimming and diving have been phenomenal.

:28:05. > :28:10.That has kicked off for athletics. Faces were medals were not expected,

:28:11. > :28:14.let's be honest. With the kayaking, that has been superb. Rugby sevens

:28:15. > :28:20.for the women, that is full great. Gary Medel school or are coming.

:28:21. > :28:29.That gives athletics at big birds. -- that is all great. The medals are

:28:30. > :28:35.coming. Having done heptathlon before, I know there are seven

:28:36. > :28:42.events to do. It will not go all the way of Jess. We must look out at

:28:43. > :28:44.Katarina Johnson Thompson. She did not do so well in the World

:28:45. > :28:54.Championship is because of her long jump. We know that chess is a

:28:55. > :29:00.fighter. -- Jess is a fighter. The Canadian got second last time. It is

:29:01. > :29:06.not going to be all that easy. Jess is a tough fighter. She is. How

:29:07. > :29:10.different do think it will be to 2012? On super Saturday we had three

:29:11. > :29:13.golds in the space of 45 minutes. This is different, it is in Rio. How

:29:14. > :29:20.much difference to thing that would make? Home advantage is phenomenal.

:29:21. > :29:24.It really helps. Alone in new step in that arena, either at big buzz.

:29:25. > :29:31.I'm not just doing it for me. I have to really perform. The girl who did

:29:32. > :29:36.well for Brazil, she came from a world which was that poor but she

:29:37. > :29:43.has excelled now. Home advantage is fantastic. I'm looking at athletics

:29:44. > :29:47.today. People like Greg Rutherford, he has to get in and make sure he

:29:48. > :29:54.treats qualifying like a final. That is how it is with Beeld eventers.

:29:55. > :30:07.Double double, I'm going to stick my head out. Field events. Mo Farah. He

:30:08. > :30:14.knows about other people's tactics. He needs to watch the Ethiopian. The

:30:15. > :30:19.two Americans have jumped a little bit higher. It is all go for

:30:20. > :30:25.athletics. Big things to look at. What do you think about the medal

:30:26. > :30:31.target? UK sport for athletics is hoping between seven and nine. Is

:30:32. > :30:34.that achievable? To be honest, I am gearing that way. If athletics up

:30:35. > :30:39.their game and make sure everything goes to part we are looking for, I

:30:40. > :30:42.think we will be closed all on target, like they are saying. You

:30:43. > :30:50.just have to look at the whole thing. -- close all on target. The

:30:51. > :30:54.swimming has gone great, the cycling, athletics, more to come.

:30:55. > :31:01.Not just on the medal haul from 2012. The relays... I think we are

:31:02. > :31:09.going to be on target. What is really good about athletics as well.

:31:10. > :31:25.The age barrier. Look at Tesla Pavey. She is aged 42. -- Jo Pavey.

:31:26. > :31:31.Tesla Pavey was then she came last in a sports day race among parents

:31:32. > :31:41.in her son's ball stay. She obviously produces results when she

:31:42. > :31:43.needs to. -- sports day. This is a different ball game. Team GB is

:31:44. > :32:01.ready. It is another big day in the rowing.

:32:02. > :32:09.Heather Glover and Helen standing will compete in the women's pairs.

:32:10. > :32:15.-- Heather Stanning. Rowing is one of the most successful sports for

:32:16. > :32:20.Team GB, and we can go to Henley-on-Thames, a place which has

:32:21. > :32:28.produced many Olympians. It has. If you look at the table here, it said

:32:29. > :32:34.111 yesterday, but now it is 112, this is the world's most successful

:32:35. > :32:42.rowing club and if I can show you inside, these yellow boats are

:32:43. > :32:46.?40,000 each, they are like the Rolls-Royce of boats and most clubs

:32:47. > :32:56.might have a couple, but here they go on and on. We can talk to Greg

:32:57. > :33:00.Searle. Nice to see you. You got a bronze medal in the London Olympics,

:33:01. > :33:07.what is it like watching the Olympics now? Do you feel your time

:33:08. > :33:13.is done? I love competing, and that is fun, being out in Rio, but the

:33:14. > :33:17.hard thing is the training and the build-up. Watching Katherine

:33:18. > :33:24.Grainger yesterday, she has come back at 40 and you did the same, is

:33:25. > :33:29.40 the magic age? When we are older we have more wisdom and you want to

:33:30. > :33:33.capture the enthusiasm of 20 and the wisdom of 40, and that is what

:33:34. > :33:37.Katherine Grainger was able to do, and the bravery, they were so tough

:33:38. > :33:43.yesterday. You need all of that to win Olympic medals. We have Helen

:33:44. > :33:47.Glover and Heather Stanning. I'm looking forward to that, the women's

:33:48. > :33:54.pair and the men's four, they are the best gold medal shots and I'm

:33:55. > :34:00.looking forward to that. We will now talk to Graham and Anna, it has been

:34:01. > :34:05.a difficult Olympics for Graham, he should be in Rio but he was flown

:34:06. > :34:12.back for illness. He is back on the water, training hard. Good morning.

:34:13. > :34:19.Good morning. Tell us about what the Olympics was like for you? Very

:34:20. > :34:22.disappointing. I flew out and went to Heathrow Airport in my Team GB

:34:23. > :34:27.kit and got there and work up the next day feeling sick and told the

:34:28. > :34:34.doctor, I thought it would not be a big deal, couple of days, relaxing

:34:35. > :34:37.and resting, but Monday morning the performance director and doctor

:34:38. > :34:42.decided I would not be well enough to race and so they told me the

:34:43. > :34:48.Olympics was over and I was crushed. The most is a bonding moment of your

:34:49. > :34:54.life? Yes, definitely. -- you most disappointing. I thought it was

:34:55. > :34:59.going to be my first Olympic Games, but it wasn't to be, but now I'm

:35:00. > :35:07.looking to the future. You are back here, training hard, looking ahead.

:35:08. > :35:14.Yes, putting up a plan in place, Tokyo 2020 is now my focus. Your

:35:15. > :35:23.girlfriend here. It has been hard for you. Yes, Graham is a testament

:35:24. > :35:28.to his character, he has come home and made a plan and the plan is to

:35:29. > :35:33.be there with him through the next Olympics and I'm sure things will

:35:34. > :35:40.write themselves. We will be keeping our fingers crossed for you. Thank

:35:41. > :35:43.you for speaking to us. You think of early mornings and cold gloomy

:35:44. > :35:47.mornings when you think of rowing, but if you look across the river

:35:48. > :35:50.Thames, it makes everyone wants to get out and have a go. Thanks for

:35:51. > :36:07.joining us. Still to come, we will talk to a

:36:08. > :36:09.mother who has only just got compensation for the death of her

:36:10. > :36:16.daughter who was involved in a boating accident. And we have more

:36:17. > :36:17.about the schoolgirl who went to fight with so-called Islamic State

:36:18. > :36:25.and has died. Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom

:36:26. > :36:29.with a summary of today's news. Team GB are celebrating a fourth

:36:30. > :36:32.gold medal at the Rio Olympics. It was won by Jason Kenny,

:36:33. > :36:35.Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner They beat New Zealand

:36:36. > :36:44.by a tenth of a second. The Kiwis went very fast in the

:36:45. > :36:48.semifinal, the Olympic record, and I thought we were relying on them

:36:49. > :36:51.falling to bits, to be honest, but they didn't, and yet we went out and

:36:52. > :37:08.beat them and I'm very proud and happy.

:37:09. > :37:10.Tourists resorts in southern Thailand have been hit

:37:11. > :37:13.Four people have been killed and dozens wounded.

:37:14. > :37:15.A number of foreigners are among the injured.

:37:16. > :37:18.One of the three British schoolgirls who travelled to Syria to join

:37:19. > :37:21.the so called Islamic State group is believed to have been killed.

:37:22. > :37:24.Kadiza Sultana was 16 when she left Bethnal Green with two friends.

:37:25. > :37:26.The family's solicitor said she was thought to have died

:37:27. > :37:29.in a Russian air-strike in the IS held city of Raqqa.

:37:30. > :37:32.Representatives of junior doctors have called on their union

:37:33. > :37:34.to authorise fresh industrial action in their dispute

:37:35. > :37:38.They've asked the full council of their union,

:37:39. > :37:40.the British Medical Association, to authorise action

:37:41. > :37:43.Junior doctors say ministers have failed to address concerns

:37:44. > :38:07.That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10.

:38:08. > :38:13.Today Bradley Wiggins is aiming to do this again, stand on top of the

:38:14. > :38:17.podium, he could become the first Briton to win eight Olympic medals

:38:18. > :38:30.when he goes in the team pursuit. Jessica Ennis-Hill is >> STUDIO:

:38:31. > :38:46.-- Jessica Ennis still is relishing the chance to make history today.

:38:47. > :38:49.Just after ten we are going to look ahead to events on the track with

:38:50. > :38:53.Iwan Thomas. Laura Morgan was 11 years

:38:54. > :38:56.old when she died after a catamaran capsized while she was on holiday

:38:57. > :38:59.in Greece in 2003. But only now, after a 13 year legal

:39:00. > :39:05.battle, her mother Lynne Sunsail, which is now owned by Tui,

:39:06. > :39:13.appealed the decision by the Supreme Court

:39:14. > :39:18.that it was responsible delaying Last week however at a UK hearing,

:39:19. > :39:22.the firm was ordered to pay the remaining compensation owed

:39:23. > :39:24.to the family. We can speak now to

:39:25. > :39:30.Laura's mother, Lynne. It can't be easy to talk about what

:39:31. > :39:38.has happened even after all this time. What do you remember from that

:39:39. > :39:44.day? What I remember, coming to the end of a lovely holiday out on the

:39:45. > :39:56.Greek waters, lovely sunshine, and I remember giving my daughter --

:39:57. > :39:59.daughters bringing them a sandwich because they were too lazy to get up

:40:00. > :40:08.for breakfast. When did you find out the details of what happened? You

:40:09. > :40:11.were not with her that day? No, I was on the water myself, and Laura

:40:12. > :40:17.was with another family for the day. I came over on the boat and there

:40:18. > :40:20.was a James Bond moment, a speedboat was sent for me and I was raced

:40:21. > :40:25.across the water to come back to shore. The boat capsized and she

:40:26. > :40:32.became trapped underneath and it was the trapeze harness which allowed

:40:33. > :40:37.sailors to steer the boat, and that became tangled in the rigging. When

:40:38. > :40:43.did you know that? I did not know until I got back to the UK and the

:40:44. > :40:51.British police got in contact with me. I got to speak to the other

:40:52. > :40:56.family involved. When did you realise or launch an investigation?

:40:57. > :40:59.When did you realise that something was done which could have been

:41:00. > :41:05.prevented? The British police said they have been contacted, they were

:41:06. > :41:08.trying to track down members of staff, because then again to be

:41:09. > :41:21.criminal charges in Greece. How did you react? -- because there were

:41:22. > :41:25.going to be criminal charges. I knew it should not have happened. It was

:41:26. > :41:30.hard to come to terms with because you were not with Laura that day?

:41:31. > :41:34.Not really. No one can be with their child all the time and she was in

:41:35. > :41:41.the very capable and loving care of another family. Why has it taken 13

:41:42. > :41:47.years? The Greek system is a very tortuous one and because Sunsail

:41:48. > :41:53.have used that Greek system and allowed it to continue whenever

:41:54. > :41:57.possible, to keep appealing, and there are three levels to the Greek

:41:58. > :42:02.system, the court, the appeal, and the Supreme Court. We have been

:42:03. > :42:09.through 13 court hearings in 13 years. Firstly with the criminal

:42:10. > :42:13.case and when that was done and dusted, business records, they are

:42:14. > :42:18.guilty verdicts, homicide by misadventure. They are guilty of

:42:19. > :42:27.Laura's manslaughter and then we started a civil case and that has

:42:28. > :42:31.been so protracted, as well. At 1.I would have hoped the company would

:42:32. > :42:41.have said, we need to put our hands up but they haven't -- at one point

:42:42. > :42:49.I would have hoped. I should say to people were convicted. -- two. Did

:42:50. > :42:52.that help? To a degree, but it was all about the company, and there is

:42:53. > :42:59.no corporate manslaughter in Greece. Two young people have convictions,

:43:00. > :43:08.that is unfortunate, but I was happy to move to the civil courts where I

:43:09. > :43:16.was able to... Sunsail, they were the opposition, if you like. How

:43:17. > :43:25.were you treated by Sunsail? Appallingly, they have never shown

:43:26. > :43:36.an outside from horse or -- ounce of remorse or corporate consideration,

:43:37. > :43:39.they have hidden behind lawyers, and I think their reputation has been

:43:40. > :43:44.severely damaged by the way they have treated me. If only they had

:43:45. > :43:54.put their hands up and said, we have got things wrong. The next day they

:43:55. > :43:59.changed procedures. That must be reassuring, the fact policies have

:44:00. > :44:05.been changed in some respects. Yes, it is, and you don't want this to

:44:06. > :44:10.happen again, but that does not bring Laura back. I can't even

:44:11. > :44:15.imagine what you have been going through, but to have to fight in

:44:16. > :44:20.court, appeal after appeal, court cases in the UK and in Greece, how

:44:21. > :44:25.did you get through that? With fantastic support from very close

:44:26. > :44:32.friends who came out with me. I remember one Appeal Court, it was

:44:33. > :44:35.almost like a prison, awful place. There was a barrage of defence,

:44:36. > :44:42.Greek defence lawyers, and I was standing on my own as if I was the

:44:43. > :44:45.criminal and they will all fall to me, and they tried to rip me to

:44:46. > :44:53.pieces and they tried to blame me for all of this. How were they

:44:54. > :44:57.blaming you? They said parental responsibility, Laura was not in a

:44:58. > :45:00.kids club when this happened, therefore I should have been

:45:01. > :45:06.responsible. They blamed youth not being with her? Yes, effectively,

:45:07. > :45:14.and the courts exonerated me as did the inquest in Nottingham. That is

:45:15. > :45:19.nasty. To do that to a mother who has lost their child. When you are

:45:20. > :45:22.grieving, to be blamed, as well, can you even describe how that made you

:45:23. > :45:31.feel? It made me more determined to

:45:32. > :45:36.continue this fight for justice for Laura. They were just so passive.

:45:37. > :45:41.They were waiting for the day I would give up the fight. The longer

:45:42. > :45:46.it went on, the more term and I was to see this through to the bitter

:45:47. > :45:53.end. Was there ever a time when you consider dropping the case? Never.

:45:54. > :46:02.Grief is a very powerful driver and emotion. I loved Laura so much.

:46:03. > :46:07.There was no way I would let them get away with this. I wanted the

:46:08. > :46:11.truth to come out as well. They were operating illegally out in Greece.

:46:12. > :46:19.That is what they were found guilty of. They were operating. It was

:46:20. > :46:21.against the court authority -- Port authority regulations for people

:46:22. > :46:31.under 16 to be in boats unaccompanied. What sort of child

:46:32. > :46:36.was Laura? She was beautiful. She was only 11 that had an older

:46:37. > :46:43.sister. As such, she was old for her age. She was tactile, emotional,

:46:44. > :46:50.happy. She loved life. It destroys me to think of a life she will never

:46:51. > :46:57.have. I am grateful for you coming in and sharing your story with us.

:46:58. > :47:09.Thank you so much. Thank you. The company concerned have sent us this

:47:10. > :47:13.statement. We will always regret the stress this protracted process has

:47:14. > :47:17.caused to Laura's family. We are aware this matter has taken a number

:47:18. > :47:21.of years to reach revolution. The claim for compensation was pursued

:47:22. > :47:24.by the family through the Greek courts. We can confirm the company

:47:25. > :47:29.has always acted in accordance with any orders received from the Greek

:47:30. > :47:34.courts, who have only recently delivered their final judgment. They

:47:35. > :47:38.have always maintained it operated and continues to operate within the

:47:39. > :47:42.stringent safety guidelines set out by the Royal yachting Association.

:47:43. > :47:47.Safety is always an absolute priority for us.

:47:48. > :47:55.Coming up, the Labour leadership campaign.

:47:56. > :47:58.Don't forget next Wednesday you can be in our audience for our Labour

:47:59. > :48:00.It's your chance to question directly

:48:01. > :48:04.The programme's live in Nottingham on Wednesday 17th August.

:48:05. > :48:06.Whether you are a Labour Party member, Labour voter

:48:07. > :48:10.or you are a floating voter who's voted Labour in the past

:48:11. > :48:13.or would consider it in the future, if you would like the chance to quiz

:48:14. > :48:15.the candidates and share your views, e-mail victoria@bbc.co.uk

:48:16. > :48:31.One of the three schoolgirls who travelled from Bethnal Green

:48:32. > :48:33.in East London to join the Islamic State group in Syria

:48:34. > :48:43.She's thought to have died in a Russian air-strike

:48:44. > :48:50.This is what the family lawyer told BBC Newsnight.

:48:51. > :48:51.Well, they are very obviously devastated.

:48:52. > :48:53.There is nothing worse than finding out the sibling or

:48:54. > :48:58.By all accounts, she was a young girl with a promising future.

:48:59. > :49:02.Every effort was made, from the very beginning,

:49:03. > :49:15.Despite all efforts, unfortunately we find ourselves with

:49:16. > :49:18.the loss of a young life, a very promising life as well.

:49:19. > :49:27.No-one else was aware of her intention because of the risk of

:49:28. > :49:32.But it was something that was progressed

:49:33. > :49:36.The problem with it all is that the only person who can

:49:37. > :49:39.assess risk factors on the ground is the person themselves.

:49:40. > :49:42.A young girl being asked to assess the risks

:49:43. > :49:57.around staying in a wall Saint versus the risks of trying to evade

:49:58. > :50:00.Isis and to leave, it is an onerous burden for someone to try and

:50:01. > :50:07.She had to make the first effort to try and leave her

:50:08. > :50:15.That opportunity did not present itself.

:50:16. > :50:18.By the time an opportunity would have come about, Isis had put a lot

:50:19. > :50:22.of effort into dissuading people from going.

:50:23. > :50:25.This is by brutally killing other young girls who were

:50:26. > :50:37.So, she decided she didn't want to take the risk.

:50:38. > :50:55.Let's discuss the issue more. Anita is here from the Freedom charity.

:50:56. > :50:58.Anita, good morning. Thank you for joining us. What is your reaction to

:50:59. > :51:06.what must be devastating news for the family? It must be devastating.

:51:07. > :51:10.The real concern is that this case highlights that many young girls,

:51:11. > :51:15.and boys, feel there will be some romantic idea that if they go across

:51:16. > :51:21.to Syria and fight the West in this way, they will get a better life. We

:51:22. > :51:25.know that will never be the case. We need to really try and change the

:51:26. > :51:29.hearts and minds of these young people. The problem is, it is so

:51:30. > :51:34.secretive. They are looking online and trying to find information about

:51:35. > :51:40.how they can get across to Syria and what life will be like. They are fed

:51:41. > :51:46.an awful lot of lies about what it will be like. It would be an awful

:51:47. > :51:50.life if they go out there. What do you talk to students about if they

:51:51. > :51:58.have this romantic idea of a utopia they can go to? Once someone goes

:51:59. > :52:02.out, it is almost, not completely, but almost impossible to come back

:52:03. > :52:07.if you do try and leave, the risk that you will be killed or brutally

:52:08. > :52:11.murdered by Isis, it is something they are doing to dissuade people

:52:12. > :52:16.from leaving. Once someone has gone, it will not be as wonderful or

:52:17. > :52:19.romantic as someone might think. It is not. Basic human rights and

:52:20. > :52:25.freedoms will be taken away from anybody who goes out over there. The

:52:26. > :52:29.family lawyer said she had become disillusioned and wanted to return

:52:30. > :52:33.and may have been planning her return. This has ended in the worst

:52:34. > :52:38.way possible. For others who are stuck out there, is there any

:52:39. > :52:45.prospect if they want to come back of them returning? Who would date be

:52:46. > :52:49.supported by? If someone wants to come back, the families need to

:52:50. > :52:54.contact the authorities. Everything will be done if it is safe for that

:52:55. > :53:00.to happen. The risk is, many people may want to come back and are

:53:01. > :53:04.radicalised. We have seen horrors happening around the world almost

:53:05. > :53:08.every day. People really need to think long and hard about decisions

:53:09. > :53:13.to go out there. The main aim is to stop anybody else from wanting to

:53:14. > :53:17.go. What people are looking at online. What is making them turn

:53:18. > :53:21.their back on the west and the culture where they are given every

:53:22. > :53:26.freedom and opportunity to be the very best people they can be. That

:53:27. > :53:32.is what we really need to address. What is going wrong with the

:53:33. > :53:35.education system where people think they will get a better life

:53:36. > :53:40.elsewhere? That will not be the case. I am writing a new book that

:53:41. > :53:46.works around how we are going to look at this around young people. A

:53:47. > :53:52.fiction about how life will be horrendous for them. What do you

:53:53. > :53:58.think can be done to stop people going out to fight and join

:53:59. > :54:05.so-called Islamic State? We have to undermine the extremist propaganda.

:54:06. > :54:11.It says you cannot live as a good Muslim in Britain. You have to go to

:54:12. > :54:17.somewhere like where Islamic State claim to have a utopia ideal place

:54:18. > :54:24.to live. The have to undermine that. We have to show people that Britain

:54:25. > :54:31.is welcome to people of all faiths and you can be a very good Muslim.

:54:32. > :54:36.The basic values are mostly the same in the West. That message does not

:54:37. > :54:41.seem to be getting through. There are 800 people who have gone over,

:54:42. > :54:45.left the UK, to join their scores, as they see it. In the last five

:54:46. > :54:48.years, there has been a failure. There were probably decades of

:54:49. > :54:53.extremist activity in this country which led to that. We are seeing

:54:54. > :54:58.people dissuaded. The fact that at least 50 British people died who

:54:59. > :55:03.joined IS in the conflict and air strikes. I think this will deter

:55:04. > :55:07.others from going. The so-called is a mix tape is not about to be

:55:08. > :55:15.defeated militarily. We have to think about what will be done. --

:55:16. > :55:19.Islamic State. Many will be disillusioned and realise they have

:55:20. > :55:22.made a massive mistake. Britain has to be welcoming and charitable and

:55:23. > :55:27.generous enough to give people a second chance and that is what we

:55:28. > :55:35.do. On one hand, you are worried about repercussions if you come back

:55:36. > :55:40.to the UK and repercussions and punishment if so-called Islamic

:55:41. > :55:43.State find out. These people are caught in a terrible situation. They

:55:44. > :55:48.are risking death at every corner. One or two have come back to this

:55:49. > :55:52.country. Over the next couple of years, with Islamic State losing

:55:53. > :56:00.territory, will properly see dozens, hundreds, coming back. We have to

:56:01. > :56:02.make about what to do. We have to deradicalise in prison. The head

:56:03. > :56:09.said they would not impose prosecution. They were children when

:56:10. > :56:13.they went out there and arguably groomed by extremists. Realising

:56:14. > :56:17.they have made a terrible mistake. There are community programmes and

:56:18. > :56:22.official programmes to help people reintegrate into society. We must

:56:23. > :56:27.assert our values of what British human rights and universal values to

:56:28. > :56:33.be inclusive to people of all faiths and religions to stop young, devout

:56:34. > :56:41.Muslims imagining a better future elsewhere. What do you think the

:56:42. > :56:46.Government should do? Government and communities need to continue an open

:56:47. > :56:51.and honest conversation about our brightest young men and women. Top

:56:52. > :56:59.students are leaving to go and join. There are some grievances and

:57:00. > :57:05.marginalisation and Islamophobia, perhaps. When they come back but we

:57:06. > :57:11.need to reintegrate people. London has a Muslim MP. That undermines the

:57:12. > :57:14.Isis propaganda hugely, for example. There are many other aspects of

:57:15. > :57:19.British society we need to champion and celebrate and stop apologising

:57:20. > :57:23.for. Asserting our sense of universal values and continue to be

:57:24. > :57:28.welcoming to refugees, to strangers, to others all around the world.

:57:29. > :57:34.Thank you both for joining us. Let's get the latest weather

:57:35. > :57:41.update with Alex Deakin. Before we hear about the weather,

:57:42. > :57:45.can you tell me about this amazing meteor shower which everyone has

:57:46. > :57:50.been talking about and I have not seen?

:57:51. > :57:55.Last night and tonight are the peak of the meteor shower forced it

:57:56. > :57:59.happens every year but is particularly active vision because

:58:00. > :58:04.of Jupiter, which is interacting with the tale of the comment. These

:58:05. > :58:08.particles from a comet tail the Earth passes through every year

:58:09. > :58:13.round about this time. You get streaks in the sky. It looks like a

:58:14. > :58:17.shooting star. The particle can be the size of a speck of dust,

:58:18. > :58:22.travelling at 60 comet is a second was a heating the mystic can it

:58:23. > :58:27.create something like that. -- 60: that is an hour. This does not look

:58:28. > :58:32.too impressive. A couple of little specks. You can see the stars moving

:58:33. > :58:40.and that is when you know you have seen a meatier. The next few nights

:58:41. > :58:43.are pretty good. You do need clear skies to see them. Hopefully

:58:44. > :58:49.Saturday night should be reasonably clear. They peek round about now.

:58:50. > :58:53.For the next few nights you should still be able to see them. You need

:58:54. > :58:58.to look around the constellation Perseus, that is where they get the

:58:59. > :59:01.name from. In the North East, you need to be patient and stay outside

:59:02. > :59:06.for a little while so your eyes get adjusted to the skies. You cannot go

:59:07. > :59:11.in and watch the Olympics and go out again. You need to stay outside for

:59:12. > :59:16.a good 15 to 20 minutes in your eyes get properly adjusted. Hopefully

:59:17. > :59:21.after midnight, you should start to fear. They tend to be present for a

:59:22. > :59:28.little while. Keep your eyes to the skies and a little bit of caffeine.

:59:29. > :59:36.Playing ball, we do need clear skies. Cloud at moments across

:59:37. > :59:42.Scotland. Largely clear skies today. Sue is sending this boat to win from

:59:43. > :59:48.Dorset. Many of us will see sunny skies. -- this photo in. The next

:59:49. > :59:53.two days will turn hotter. Not glorious everywhere. This band of

:59:54. > :59:56.cloud has made quite a lot of rain in the next few days. It is still

:59:57. > :00:02.raining across the Highlands. The rain will build up and potentially

:00:03. > :00:06.cause a few problems. Pushing down into Northern Ireland. Clouding over

:00:07. > :00:09.a little across western parts of England and Wales it will be

:00:10. > :00:13.blustery with strong gusts in the north-east of England. The wettest

:00:14. > :00:20.conditions in the West of Scotland. That will mount up after a couple of

:00:21. > :00:23.very soggy days. 18, 19 in north-east Scotland with the rain

:00:24. > :00:28.pushing into Northern Ireland. It will cloud over a bit in the West.

:00:29. > :00:32.Quite a lot of low cloud in Wales and the south-west of England. That

:00:33. > :00:37.will melt away. In the Midlands and the East of England, a beautiful

:00:38. > :00:43.day. Cracking conditions if you are off to a Test match at the Oval.

:00:44. > :00:49.Could get up to 24, 20 five Celsius. Looking further ahead, tonight, East

:00:50. > :00:52.Anglia and the south-east should stay largely clear. There may be

:00:53. > :00:56.breaks in the cloud further north. Generally it will be a bit too

:00:57. > :00:59.cloudy for the meteor shower at night. The rain is sinking its way

:01:00. > :01:05.southwards and a few showers in the Northwest. Tonight will not be too

:01:06. > :01:09.chilly. A better chance on Saturday night. Saturday will see more cloud

:01:10. > :01:15.generally in the Midlands. A few bits of rain here and there. Some

:01:16. > :01:18.showers in the north-west. The rain easing finally. Temperature wise

:01:19. > :01:27.through the course of the weekend, high teens to loan 20s. Sunday looks

:01:28. > :01:31.like a fine day for most of us. -- the low 20s. Starting to warm up and

:03:03. > :03:15.The Kiwis went very fast release a final and they made an Olympic

:03:16. > :03:19.record and we were sort of relying on them falling to pieces, we

:03:20. > :03:21.thought, but they didn't, and we went out and beat them and I'm very

:03:22. > :03:34.proud of that and very happy. At least four people have died in

:08:26. > :08:30.From the lycra to the Lagoa, and this is a start line

:08:31. > :08:32.Katherine Grainger and Victoria Thornley thought

:08:33. > :08:37.The doubles sculls pair so out of form they had

:08:38. > :08:40.Grainger had even given up rowing for two years

:08:41. > :08:43.But, reunited and reinvigorated, at the halfway stage

:08:44. > :08:48.As the line neared, a challenge appeared.

:08:49. > :08:53.Great Britain against Poland, who could power through the pain?

:08:54. > :08:55.COMMENTATOR: Heads up, legs down harder and harder again.

:08:56. > :09:00.Poland now are feeling the pain, but they are going to be

:09:01. > :09:07.Here come Poland, Poland getting Olympic gold.

:09:08. > :09:10.So, no gold, but so much had been spent on that silver, a medal

:09:11. > :09:15.which makes Grainger Britain's most decorated female Olympian.

:09:16. > :09:18.There were many, many dark days, where I couldn't really see how this

:09:19. > :09:22.So to be standing here, finally, in the Rio sunshine,

:09:23. > :09:24.with the medal around our necks, makes it all worthwhile.

:09:25. > :09:26.The last time rugby was at the Olympics,

:09:27. > :09:28.it was 15-a-side, and only three nations entered.

:09:29. > :09:38.Great Britain and South Africa had battled just to reach the last four

:09:39. > :09:40.of the first sevens competition, and GB were not

:09:41. > :09:44.Once they had got past South Africa, and guaranteed a silver,

:09:45. > :09:49.The problem - they could hardly touch Fiji.

:09:50. > :09:52.This was always going to be the Pacific Island's best shot

:09:53. > :09:58.Just to make sure of that, Fiji ran in 43 points.

:09:59. > :10:03.Dan Norton's try was a small souvenir for the British side,

:10:04. > :10:06.but the main memento hangs around their necks.

:10:07. > :10:09.When travelling alone in the canoe, David Florence was washed off course

:10:10. > :10:16.The task for him and Richard Hounslow -

:10:17. > :10:18.get clean through 24 gates as quickly as possible.

:10:19. > :10:22.It came down to the British against the Slovakians,

:10:23. > :10:27.COMMENTATOR: And this is the moment of truth for Great Britain.

:10:28. > :10:29.Are they going to add to the gold taken yesterday?

:10:30. > :10:37.The gold they had longed for escaped them, but they had repeated

:10:38. > :10:52.An impressively even keel, in this most chaotic of sports.

:10:53. > :10:58.It's the first day of the track and field, Jessica Ennis-Hill will begin

:10:59. > :11:08.the defence of her heptathlon title. I'm joined by Iwan Thomas. Everyone

:11:09. > :11:11.wants Jess to do well. Her main rival, fingers crossed, Katarina

:11:12. > :11:19.Johnson Johnson, and I think she's likely be better athlete on paper --

:11:20. > :11:25.Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Jessica has the right mindset, and she seems

:11:26. > :11:30.to get it right. I think she will probably take it, if I was to put my

:11:31. > :11:35.money on, but wheels have her Canadian rival, another great rival

:11:36. > :11:38.but if Jess gets everything right on the day and is able to control her

:11:39. > :11:45.mind, I think she can win again which would be such an achievement.

:11:46. > :11:50.What is it about her mentality which makes her a champion? She's a winner

:11:51. > :11:55.in life, a great person off the track but she also becomes a

:11:56. > :11:58.determined athlete, the savage warrior, when she needs to become an

:11:59. > :12:06.she's lovely off the track, but she's a great competitor. -- when

:12:07. > :12:11.she needs to, and she's lovely off the track. All the heptathlete are

:12:12. > :12:16.great friends off the track because they know the sacrifices they make

:12:17. > :12:20.to get there, but if Jessica can retain that title, everyone will be

:12:21. > :12:27.chuffed. Katarina Johnson-Thompson, she can achieve a medal? Definitely.

:12:28. > :12:32.At the Anniversary Games she got a personal best in the high jump and a

:12:33. > :12:36.season's best in the long jump, she's in great shape, but she has

:12:37. > :12:41.two proved she has the mentality to hold it together, but I do think

:12:42. > :12:50.quite conceivably we will have a one two on the podium. Jo Pavey, what

:12:51. > :12:55.does it take for someone to come back into the Olympics at the age of

:12:56. > :13:02.42, in a tough race like the 10,000 metres? On the same age and I find

:13:03. > :13:08.it hard to get out of bed some mornings. -- I'm the same. She's an

:13:09. > :13:12.inspiration to women out there who have had children, but also to

:13:13. > :13:19.everyone who wants to take up sport. It is never too late. If you keep

:13:20. > :13:23.knuckling down and training, and never lose sight of your goal, then

:13:24. > :13:31.age is just a number. One of the stars, Usain Bolt, he will start his

:13:32. > :13:37.events later this evening. If he wins the 100 and 200 metres again,

:13:38. > :13:44.will he be seen as the greatest of all time? I think so, to win one

:13:45. > :13:46.Olympic title in track and field is hard, the training on the body to be

:13:47. > :13:56.an athlete is so demanding, the longer -- long career he has had, I

:13:57. > :14:02.think he will go down as the greatest athlete ever, if he can win

:14:03. > :14:04.both. So much look forward to. All the coverage will be across BBC TV

:14:05. > :14:06.and radio. Team GB are now eighth

:14:07. > :14:08.in the Olympic medals table with 16 medals -

:14:09. > :14:11.four golds, six silvers They'll be hoping to add to that

:14:12. > :14:14.haul, as the athletic events get underway today

:14:15. > :14:16.and Jessica Ennis-Hill starts defending her Olympic

:14:17. > :14:17.heptathlon title. It will also be a big day

:14:18. > :14:20.for trampolinist, Kat Driscoll, who's been filming her Olympic

:14:21. > :14:22.journey for us. She will be taking part

:14:23. > :14:24.in the qualification programme later today with the top 10

:14:25. > :14:28.going through to Sunday's final. So, we have just finished

:14:29. > :14:58.training for the day. On our way to the Team GB house

:14:59. > :15:07.where we can go to meet our My mum and dad and my

:15:08. > :15:15.husband, who is also my coach, will be over there

:15:16. > :15:18.to meet me, which will be cool. It will be the first time I have

:15:19. > :15:21.seen them It is obviously not a very

:15:22. > :15:26.nice day out here today. We are at the nearest

:15:27. > :15:38.and dearest bit. This is the place,

:15:39. > :15:42.basically, we get to come, outside the village,

:15:43. > :15:45.and meet up with friends and family. Catching up in a secure environment

:15:46. > :15:47.which is really cool. There are loads of people in here,

:15:48. > :15:52.chilling on sofas and you get a chance to catch up with them and get

:15:53. > :15:56.out of the bubble of the environment for a little bit, which is really

:15:57. > :15:59.nice and always needed. You need a bit of

:16:00. > :16:01.downtime, chill time. You don't want to focus too much

:16:02. > :16:03.on what is going on and make

:16:04. > :16:05.too big a deal of it. This is quite nice to come

:16:06. > :16:08.and have a little chill and To be fair, it is raining

:16:09. > :16:27.today, not so good. There are 24 golds up for grabs at

:16:28. > :16:32.the Olympics today. Jessica Ennis here will be taking to the track to

:16:33. > :16:43.defend her heptathlon title. -- Jessica Ennis-Hill. Joining her will

:16:44. > :16:46.be Jo Pavey. Following on from Jason Kenny and the men's aims

:16:47. > :16:54.and cold last night, joining us now are Dame Kelly Holmes, Cath Bishop,

:16:55. > :17:05.an Olympic silver medallist, who has known Katherine Grainger for 20

:17:06. > :17:08.years. In Cambridge, Michael Hutchinson, an International cyclist

:17:09. > :17:16.and journalist. Thank you for joining us. Your mate has done

:17:17. > :17:19.pretty well, hasn't she? What an incredible performance! Just

:17:20. > :17:23.stunning for them to produce that of all the trials and jubilation as she

:17:24. > :17:28.has been through the is an incredible role model for our sport,

:17:29. > :17:32.women's rowing and women's sport. Anybody who has an incredible dream

:17:33. > :17:38.they want to find a way to achieve. She nearly did not make the team,

:17:39. > :17:42.did she? They had a real challenge. They had not delivered as a duo or

:17:43. > :17:48.got the results behind them. Everyone was doubting them. There

:17:49. > :17:54.was a huge query about them. You have spoken to Catherine, how is she

:17:55. > :18:03.feeling? She is so excited and relieved. I felt pride that she had

:18:04. > :18:07.done something really special out there yesterday. Perhaps there is an

:18:08. > :18:12.inner peace for the rest of her life. This time she really will be

:18:13. > :18:17.able to retire. She has an incredible set of medals to look

:18:18. > :18:24.back on for ever. Can you just put into context how much winning that

:18:25. > :18:28.medal meant? She took a two-year break after 2012 and nearly did not

:18:29. > :18:36.make the team. I do not think we were expecting her to medal, where

:18:37. > :18:42.we? If you look at the form book and go of evidence, you would not expect

:18:43. > :18:46.her to medal she is incredible competitor. We saw an amazing

:18:47. > :18:50.performance from her and from Vicki Thornley. To put that together when

:18:51. > :18:54.you have no evidence that you have ever done that before, maybe a

:18:55. > :18:59.little bit in training, it is phenomenal. What both of them have

:19:00. > :19:02.gone through of water, all the months of doubt, others around you

:19:03. > :19:05.not really believing you will perform. Also some people saying to

:19:06. > :19:10.Katherine Grainger, you left it too late, you took too long now. All

:19:11. > :19:19.that negativity for the both of them had to keep a real resilience going

:19:20. > :19:24.and inner relief. -- release. They never gave up, even when others had

:19:25. > :19:31.given up, even when they were not selected. They still believed they

:19:32. > :19:37.could find a way and his huge credit to both of them. We have had

:19:38. > :19:40.surprised medal wins in guiding and swimming but cycling is summer we

:19:41. > :19:48.are always expected to clean up. Why are we so good at it? -- is

:19:49. > :19:53.somewhere. Cycling was one of the sports that got lottery funding 15

:19:54. > :19:57.years ago. They really made the most of it. They produced a very

:19:58. > :20:01.effective programme. They have a terrific training venue in

:20:02. > :20:06.Manchester. One advantage they have is they put all the athletes in a

:20:07. > :20:09.training venue working with the best coaches they could find. That

:20:10. > :20:15.intensity and focus has produced the results we have seen from 2008 and

:20:16. > :20:21.2012, and hopefully in the next few days in Rio. Chris Hoy has tipped

:20:22. > :20:27.Jason Kenny to win three golds in Rio. Do you think that is possible?

:20:28. > :20:30.It is possible. Chris predicted that yesterday or the day before. A lot

:20:31. > :20:37.of us were sceptical. We were not really expecting the win we got last

:20:38. > :20:42.night in the team pursuit. They have knocked it out of the ballpark. They

:20:43. > :20:46.have not performed since London. They have been mediocre since

:20:47. > :20:50.London. Suddenly they have done. All off to a bit but think about whether

:20:51. > :20:59.Sir Chris is right about it. They have every chance. Do you think we

:21:00. > :21:03.could replicate the 2012 medal haul? Cycling seemed to be at its peak

:21:04. > :21:10.back then. Having home advantage helped significantly. I do not think

:21:11. > :21:17.we will quite get to that. By now, in London, there was a gold for

:21:18. > :21:23.Bradley Wiggins on the road. Team GB did not get any medals on the road.

:21:24. > :21:27.They got bronze for Chris Froome. They are a medal down already

:21:28. > :21:30.thought they have lost Victoria Pendleton from the women's sprint

:21:31. > :21:33.side. I'm not sure the current women's sprinters are quite at the

:21:34. > :21:40.level she was at. Based on yesterday, it shows the technology

:21:41. > :21:44.package where the team is and how confident the team is based on that,

:21:45. > :21:49.Britain might get quite close. Maybe a little bit short. I do not think

:21:50. > :21:55.it will be very different. Probably better than a lot of us expected.

:21:56. > :21:59.What do you make of the velodrome? It only opened in June. I think

:22:00. > :22:03.there were people arguing it only opened yesterday afternoon. There

:22:04. > :22:07.were certainly reports coming from Rio of nocturnal building noises

:22:08. > :22:12.around the velodrome every night with drilling, thumping and banging.

:22:13. > :22:17.It looks terrific on television. Any of my colleagues say, the public

:22:18. > :22:20.facing bits of it are OK. There are still bits and pieces are being

:22:21. > :22:27.finished. The track itself has bits of filler and things on it. It may

:22:28. > :22:33.not be absolutely perfect but they have the performance aspect of it

:22:34. > :22:36.finished. The cycling team have new bikes and super tight suits to help

:22:37. > :22:44.them in their races. Tammy about those. That is something which Team

:22:45. > :22:51.GB cycling has been good at, the technology package. -- tell me about

:22:52. > :22:55.those. A guy, Tony, he is a former Formula 1 principal at Red Bull. He

:22:56. > :23:01.has taken a little element of that package running into Rio. He has

:23:02. > :23:04.done a very good job. He has managed to move the technology on at each of

:23:05. > :23:07.the last three Olympics will study does not Keith was that they still

:23:08. > :23:18.need to ride a bike from Dougie can still give an edge that you need. --

:23:19. > :23:22.the last three Olympics. The Australians, the Danes, and some of

:23:23. > :23:25.the other countries were using the Olympic technology package and

:23:26. > :23:30.giving it a trial run and the British team were not. Also partly

:23:31. > :23:33.explains why teams like the team Sprint have moved on so much from

:23:34. > :23:37.the World Championships. They can suddenly roll out a little bit of

:23:38. > :23:43.technology. It would not have gained them a second that might have gained

:23:44. > :23:47.them half a second. Last night they won by less than a tenth. The

:23:48. > :23:54.athletics gets under way today. What can we expect? It is a great day for

:23:55. > :23:59.the athletics. We have our golden girl, Jessica Ennis. With that there

:24:00. > :24:03.will be a battle between Johnson Thompson. A young girl will stop we

:24:04. > :24:12.hope she will be battling for the medals as well. At the start of the

:24:13. > :24:29.men's hundred metres, can David Rudy show the beating? -- Rudisha. It is

:24:30. > :24:32.incredible. It seems to be with Katherine Grainger and Rudisha

:24:33. > :24:39.Pavey, these 40-year-old athletes are doing really well, aren't they?

:24:40. > :24:45.I know. I could have kept it going. It is a great inspiration for

:24:46. > :24:51.people. To see them come to their peak almost, towards when most

:24:52. > :24:58.people would expect them to be finishing is brilliant to see. What

:24:59. > :25:06.do you think would happen in the showdown between Jess and Katerina?

:25:07. > :25:09.Money would be very safe with Jess Ennis. Of course, she has been now

:25:10. > :25:14.for many years and knows how to perform at the top level. When you

:25:15. > :25:18.get to be the big games, it is about composure. You have to be able to go

:25:19. > :25:23.through those steps. They have seven disciplines and three of those start

:25:24. > :25:27.today. Katarina Thompson Johnson, what she has to her advantage, she

:25:28. > :25:32.had an unsuccessful World Championship last year. If she can

:25:33. > :25:38.take that out of her head and start this afresh, I can see her going for

:25:39. > :25:47.her best. Anything can happen in the heptathlon. Do you think Mo Farah

:25:48. > :25:54.will do the double again? If anyone can do it, it is probably him. He

:25:55. > :25:59.seems to be unbeatable. Let's see. The 1500 metres women starts today,

:26:00. > :26:06.later tonight. Laura meal and Laura Weightman Art in that race. Laura

:26:07. > :26:14.Mill just beat my British record. She starts in the heats. What have

:26:15. > :26:19.the highlights being view? How does Rio compare with other Olympic games

:26:20. > :26:25.you have been involved in? Having been behind the scenes in Beijing,

:26:26. > :26:30.London, and, of course, now in Rio, nothing will ever top London. Rio is

:26:31. > :26:35.different. They have had issues when you get into the stadium, the same

:26:36. > :26:39.excitement. Brazil are there in force will submit is almost like the

:26:40. > :26:44.Brazilians are treating every event like a football match. -- in force.

:26:45. > :26:48.It is almost like. That is lovely to see. I was at the beach wobble

:26:49. > :26:54.yesterday and I could not believe the atmosphere. Not as much going on

:26:55. > :26:58.around the stadium but it is building momentum. I think it will

:26:59. > :27:04.still be as successful as most others, and especially of course for

:27:05. > :27:12.Team GB. If you had to pick out three highlights over the weekend,

:27:13. > :27:16.what would it be? I think, for me, athletics is starting. That is my

:27:17. > :27:21.sport. Super Saturday is coming. Can we replicate it from last time

:27:22. > :27:27.around? Greg Rutherford says he is in the shape of his life. Mo Farah

:27:28. > :27:31.should go and win his first gold. If Jess Ennis pulled it off, it would

:27:32. > :27:40.be a fantastic day. I liked all the sports are going to see today

:27:41. > :27:44.Heather standing and Heather Glover. Many other sports will. I do not

:27:45. > :27:48.have time to list them all. I'm looking for everything to start. The

:27:49. > :27:54.triathlon is on my favourites. That starts on 18th, the 19th. Looking

:27:55. > :27:59.forward to the events. Today, like you say, I am off to be rowing and

:28:00. > :28:04.the cycling track later on where I am sure we will bring in some more

:28:05. > :28:11.golds. The answer to that is, there are not three highlights, watch

:28:12. > :28:18.everything. We set our predictions. UK sport set the 48, 49 square being

:28:19. > :28:23.the best way Games. I think that was under estimating I think we should

:28:24. > :28:28.get close to London 2012. We are already on 15 or so medals. We're

:28:29. > :28:33.only on day seven. Watch out for Team GB excavation mark thank you

:28:34. > :28:38.for joining us. -- Team GB! There's a warning this morning

:28:39. > :28:41.about the dangers of unlicensed tattooists targeting young people

:28:42. > :28:56.with low prices and DIY tattoo kits. Are we facing strike action by

:28:57. > :29:02.junior doctors in dispute over a new contract? Hugh is here with me. What

:29:03. > :29:08.is the latest? It all began to develop last night on social media.

:29:09. > :29:10.The junior doctors committee of the British Medical Association wants

:29:11. > :29:15.the possibility of further industrial action. Just to wind back

:29:16. > :29:18.on this very long saga, a series of one-day and two-day strikes at

:29:19. > :29:22.hospitals in England. Then there was a deal between the Government and

:29:23. > :29:26.the BMA have renewed junior doctors contract for England. The BMA

:29:27. > :29:31.leaders went out to sell it to members. They rejected it will stop

:29:32. > :29:34.58% voted against in July. Now the junior doctors have had more

:29:35. > :29:38.meetings and they say they want more industrial action because the

:29:39. > :29:42.Government has not engaged with them over their outstanding concerns.

:29:43. > :29:45.This has to go to the full council of the BMA, who have to decide

:29:46. > :29:49.whether to authorise it or not. Some members of the council might feel

:29:50. > :29:54.they do not want to go down this route again. Junior doctors seem

:29:55. > :29:57.fired up again and seem ready to take further industrial action, what

:29:58. > :30:08.they call escalated action from September.

:30:09. > :30:12.Just want to let you know that next week you can be part of a Labour

:30:13. > :30:14.leadership programme with Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith

:30:51. > :30:59.The Kiwis went very fast in the semifinal, an Olympic record,

:31:00. > :31:02.and I thought we were relying on them falling

:31:03. > :31:05.to bits, to be honest, but they didn't, and yet we went out

:31:06. > :31:07.and beat them and I'm very proud and happy.

:31:08. > :31:09.At least four people have been killed and dozens wounded

:32:02. > :32:05.That's a summary of the latest news, join me for BBC Newsroom

:32:06. > :32:18.to add to the gold medal that was just mentioned, there were three

:32:19. > :32:22.silver medals yesterday for Team GB, in canoeing, rowing and rugby sevens

:32:23. > :32:26.antedates Bradley Wiggins could become the first Briton to win eight

:33:10. > :33:16.three o'clock you can see if Heather Glover and Helen standing can

:33:17. > :33:18.achieve gold medal -- Heather Stanning and Helen Glover.

:33:19. > :33:21.Well, they continue to be difficult days for Labour.

:33:22. > :33:24.A war of words between the leader and his deputy, a battle

:33:25. > :33:27.in the courts about whether members should or should not have the right

:33:28. > :33:31.Jeremy Corbyn was only elected leader of the Labour Party

:33:32. > :33:33.in September last year, how on earth is he already fighting

:33:34. > :33:38.To remind us of Labour's story here's our reporter Jim Reed.

:33:39. > :33:43.Just a warning this short film does contain some flash photography.

:33:44. > :33:50.43 days into the results of Labour's leadership election, the decision,

:33:51. > :33:56.keep Jeremy Corbyn as leader or switch to Owen Smith? This started

:33:57. > :34:02.in September 2015 with the last leadership election, Jeremy Corbyn

:34:03. > :34:06.surprised everyone, beginning as the 100-1 outsider, he ended up by

:34:07. > :34:11.winning by a huge amount. Things will change. He had the support of

:34:12. > :34:15.Labour Party members drawing large crowds up and down the country, but

:34:16. > :34:19.he never really had the widespread support of Labour MPs, many

:34:20. > :34:25.disagreed with his policies, like his decision to vote against air

:34:26. > :34:31.strikes in Syria. Will you allow MPs a free vote? He completed his first

:34:32. > :34:36.reshuffle, but three Shadow ministers resigned in protest. It is

:34:37. > :34:41.honourable for me to leave the front bench. Ken Livingstone was suspended

:34:42. > :34:45.from the Labour Party after comments he made about Hitler and the state

:34:46. > :34:50.of Israel, an inquiry was launched into anti-Semitism in the party. We

:34:51. > :34:55.were getting predictions that Labour was going to lose councils but we

:34:56. > :35:01.didn't. We have hung on and grow support. In local council elections

:35:02. > :35:07.Labour did better-than-expected antiparty won the mayoral elections

:35:08. > :35:17.in Bristol and London -- and the party. Britain has spoken and the

:35:18. > :35:24.answer is, we wrap. Many felt Jeremy Corbyn's support for remaining in

:35:25. > :35:28.the EU was half-hearted. 40 shadow ministers resigned and there was a

:35:29. > :35:34.motion of no-confidence the party leader. I've served in the best way

:35:35. > :35:40.I can, but today I had to leave. It is thought Jeremy Corbyn retains the

:35:41. > :35:43.support of many grassroots members, including a large number who have

:35:44. > :35:56.joined the party more recently. It is not that Jeremy Corbyn is out of

:35:57. > :36:04.touch, it is that the Labour MPs are out of touch with the Labour Party.

:36:05. > :36:08.Owen Smith has challenged Jeremy Corbyn and both men are competing

:36:09. > :36:13.for votes with a final decision expected on the 24th of September.

:36:14. > :36:16.Let's speak now to a mix of Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith

:36:17. > :36:18.supporters including MPs and members of the public.

:36:19. > :36:20.Labour MP Kate Green is backing Owen Smith whilst

:36:21. > :36:23.Andy McDonald, also a Labour MP, is backing Jeremy Corbyn.

:36:24. > :36:28.We also speak to members of the public - Graham Smith

:36:29. > :36:31.who is 61 and a salesman and is supporting Owen Smith.

:36:32. > :36:33.Julia Brosnan who is 51 and a co-director of a social

:36:34. > :36:35.enterprise is supporting Jeremy Corbyn.

:36:36. > :36:38.With us in the studio is Simon Hudson, who joined

:36:39. > :36:41.the Labour Party specifically so he could vote

:36:42. > :36:45.Jeremy Corbyn out and Barbara Ntumy who is a Jeremy Corbyn supporter.

:36:46. > :36:52.Meanwhile John Paul Ennis, who is 19, is a committed Labour

:36:53. > :36:55.supporter but is undecided as to who to vote for in Labour's

:36:56. > :36:58.leadership election as he feels both candidates are weak.

:36:59. > :37:08.Kate Green first. What did you make of last night's performances? There

:37:09. > :37:13.was a real contrast between Jeremy who has big ideas but no plans to

:37:14. > :37:17.put them into practice, and specific from Owen Smith about how he would

:37:18. > :37:21.mend the economy and how he would invest in the NHS and how he would

:37:22. > :37:26.deal with the biggest political challenge of our time, negotiations

:37:27. > :37:32.around leaving the European Union. Dividing lines which show Owen Smith

:37:33. > :37:39.offering solutions and leadership, but Jeremy is talking in slogans and

:37:40. > :37:46.platitudes. Jeremy Hunt most of the support at the hustings, he was

:37:47. > :37:49.being cheered. -- Jeremy had. I was shocked to hear Labour Party members

:37:50. > :37:54.heckling when reasoned, thoughtful careful debate was taking place,

:37:55. > :37:58.that is not the way we treat each other, we treat each other with

:37:59. > :38:02.respect in our party and I think we have got to understand that there

:38:03. > :38:07.are many people in the Labour Party, many members, who are concerned at

:38:08. > :38:13.the way divisions and hostility and intimidation is opening up between

:38:14. > :38:16.members, it has got to stop. The lead for stopping that matter has

:38:17. > :38:22.got to come from the leader. You blame Jeremy Corbyn for that? I

:38:23. > :38:24.don't blame him for other people's behaviour but it is the

:38:25. > :38:28.responsibility of leader to call out that kind of bad behaviour and made

:38:29. > :38:33.it clear he will not tolerate it and only if he speaks can we be

:38:34. > :38:37.confident that people will listen and it will stop. Andy McDonald

:38:38. > :38:44.next, what did you think of last night? Two very good performances

:38:45. > :38:51.but I don't know if anyone's mind was changed in viewing the

:38:52. > :38:55.proceedings, and I think Jeremy started the evening well ahead and

:38:56. > :39:00.he remains well ahead. I don't think anything has changed. His leadership

:39:01. > :39:04.qualities have been criticised. What is the point of having many members

:39:05. > :39:09.if you have little chance of winning a general election? His leadership

:39:10. > :39:14.style is different to the leadership styles we have had in the past but

:39:15. > :39:22.my goodness, we have seen the build-up of a huge movement, 550,000

:39:23. > :39:28.members of the Labour Party now, the largest social democratic movement

:39:29. > :39:33.in Europe, there is an appetite to embrace the agenda that Jeremy is

:39:34. > :39:37.offering and I think it is there in the community and is being embraced

:39:38. > :39:46.by people from all walks of life and I'm saddened that people who have

:39:47. > :39:53.embraced this agenda are being dogged by terrible names, leftist,

:39:54. > :39:57.Trotskyist, it doesn't help. The name-calling, has got to stop, from

:39:58. > :40:03.where ever it comes, we need to be more respectful and comradely

:40:04. > :40:08.towards each other. I'm shocked at how some elements of the debate had

:40:09. > :40:13.degenerated and that has got to change and we have got to be more

:40:14. > :40:18.courteous and civil to each other. Graham Smith, what do you think

:40:19. > :40:23.about what you have heard? We have witnessed the Civil War in the Tory

:40:24. > :40:28.party, with all the leading members fighting against one another, and

:40:29. > :40:34.yet we are 14 points behind, we should be 14 points ahead. We have

:40:35. > :40:40.no leadership. Jeremy Corbyn has managed to divide the party. The

:40:41. > :40:46.Parliamentary Labour Party does not follow his lead. They have put a

:40:47. > :40:54.vote of no confidence down. Owen Smith can unite the party and he can

:40:55. > :41:00.lead us forward and I underline the word lead, Jeremy Corbyn is not a

:41:01. > :41:07.leader, he is a critic. He is a leader, but what do you say to

:41:08. > :41:13.people who say, look at the Labour membership, it has increased because

:41:14. > :41:16.of him? Is that because of him? Some of the people who are joining the

:41:17. > :41:23.Labour Party, I don't think they really belong there. I think they

:41:24. > :41:30.would be better off somewhere else. I doubt him. We have got to appeal

:41:31. > :41:34.to the voting public and we have got to win a majority in the House of

:41:35. > :41:37.Commons, and Jeremy Corbyn cannot provide that, he cannot even get the

:41:38. > :41:44.support of the Labour Party in the House of Commons. Simon, what you

:41:45. > :41:48.think about that, Jeremy Corbyn can't get the support of MPs and he

:41:49. > :41:52.can't win a general election? That is like the problem is division and

:41:53. > :41:57.the solution is unity and that is what I look for in a leader, someone

:41:58. > :42:03.to unite. The qualities of that, passion, taking responsibility and

:42:04. > :42:11.that is what I see it in Owen Smith. I do not see that in Jeremy Corbyn.

:42:12. > :42:17.Have you always have that conclusion? In the last year, I have

:42:18. > :42:23.seen us falling behind in the polls, and I want to see this party in

:42:24. > :42:27.power, that is why nothing is going to happen unless we win power and

:42:28. > :42:32.the lead is so important. To get unity in the Parliamentary party is

:42:33. > :42:35.essential and I find it amazing that is not the first thing people think

:42:36. > :42:45.about. The Labour Party has been described as having a civil war, how

:42:46. > :42:52.damaging is that? Very damaging. We are seen as the new nasty party,

:42:53. > :42:55.this is a disgrace, this is a party about comradeship and inclusivity

:42:56. > :43:06.and the leadership mirrors that and I believe Owen Smith will do that.

:43:07. > :43:08.John, you are undecided, why? Basically, we have seen Jeremy

:43:09. > :43:15.Corbyn's leadership is questionable in the last year, the anti-Semitism

:43:16. > :43:20.row and the fact that in the Shadow Cabinet, they have resigned. But I

:43:21. > :43:27.don't really know if Owen Smith is the man that represents me, but...

:43:28. > :43:33.Why not? I don't agree with many of his ideas, in the referendum result

:43:34. > :43:37.Jeremy Corbyn was much more positive about it yesterday, but Owen Smith

:43:38. > :43:43.was in denial and he said we need a second referendum. Jeremy Corbyn

:43:44. > :43:55.said we have at the result and we need to go with it will stop yes. --

:43:56. > :44:03.yes. Who did you support a year ago? I did not vote for Jeremy Corbyn.

:44:04. > :44:07.What do you think? Jeremy Corbyn has got to take responsibility, but if

:44:08. > :44:12.we look further back, this is not happening in a vacuum. We look at Ed

:44:13. > :44:16.Miliband, and if you look at the data, which I do because I'm a

:44:17. > :44:21.politics student, Ed Miliband consistently lost support and if we

:44:22. > :44:30.follow that trajectory we will be much worse than we are under Jeremy

:44:31. > :44:35.Corbyn. There is a difference of politics, there really is, and the

:44:36. > :44:39.reason why we are in this place is because people who have disagreed

:44:40. > :44:44.with Jeremy have decided to force this leadership election and so when

:44:45. > :44:50.we talk about unity, who is the unity candidate? The leadership

:44:51. > :44:55.candidate has been forced on us. We might not agree 100% but we should

:44:56. > :45:08.think about ways in which we can work together in order for Labour to

:45:09. > :45:15.win power. This is the problem. He has sought to work with people, but

:45:16. > :45:19.they have forced us into this thing we are in now, rather than taking

:45:20. > :45:28.the fight to the Tories. What is the appeal of Jeremy Corbyn?

:45:29. > :45:37.In 2012, when Theresa May revoked the licence and threaten to deport

:45:38. > :45:40.international students, Jeremy Corbyn was with us in the streets,

:45:41. > :45:47.fighting for those students to be able to stay. He says what he says

:45:48. > :45:50.and will do what he says. He has brought so many people into the

:45:51. > :45:56.Labour Party. It is vibrant and exciting. People who agree and

:45:57. > :46:03.disagree, there was no shouting or heckling. I was really disappointed.

:46:04. > :46:08.I felt intimidated going into that meeting. That is not OK. Even if

:46:09. > :46:12.500,000 people do not go out there, at least half those people, we are

:46:13. > :46:15.the people who will go out, not on the door and get these people to

:46:16. > :46:22.vote the Labour Party into power. That is really important. What do

:46:23. > :46:27.you say to people who say he is a bad leader? You might agree with his

:46:28. > :46:34.policies but he will not be elected. He will be elected. We had to force

:46:35. > :46:38.people to elect him. People need to get on board. He has been elected

:46:39. > :46:47.leader. He is likely to be elected again. There is a mandate. People

:46:48. > :46:51.are causing this frustrating time we're in. People need to get behind

:46:52. > :46:55.him and make suggestions about what he could be doing and should be

:46:56. > :47:00.doing better. Make no suggestions to lead the party forward. Just because

:47:01. > :47:04.you are not behind him does not mean we have to destroy the whole party.

:47:05. > :47:09.I do not think that Jeremy has brought division. It has or has been

:47:10. > :47:13.his politics. Because he is a leader, people do not want to

:47:14. > :47:16.support him even though they have a difference. This is why we do not

:47:17. > :47:20.have unity in the party. Not because of Jeremy but others who are not

:47:21. > :47:24.willing to put that aside. Let me look at ways in which I can work

:47:25. > :47:32.with them in order to get Labour into power. I will read out some

:47:33. > :47:36.messages that have come in. Jeremy has reenergised the electorate. This

:47:37. > :47:41.text. Jeremy Corbyn is more like a union rep. We doesn't have what it

:47:42. > :47:45.takes to run the country. An e-mail from Audrey does this man is not a

:47:46. > :47:50.leader that MPs want to follow. I was just about but joined the Labour

:47:51. > :47:55.Party because of Jeremy Corbyn. At last, someone who speaks for me. He

:47:56. > :48:00.can win. Keep them coming in. Let us know what you think. I want to hear

:48:01. > :48:12.from Jullien next. You have heard everyone else's opinions. I agree

:48:13. > :48:16.with Barbara. It is really the others, the challengers, who have

:48:17. > :48:20.brought about these divisions. Not Jeremy Corbyn. If Owen Smith

:48:21. > :48:27.believes in the policies of Jeremy Corbyn so much, why does he not work

:48:28. > :48:30.with him? Owen Smith did not vote for Jeremy Corbyn in the leadership

:48:31. > :48:36.elections when they were happening last year. What it looks like to me

:48:37. > :48:40.is he is a very opportunist politician, very polished. He gave a

:48:41. > :48:44.good performance last night. It seems to me, he has seen the

:48:45. > :48:49.territory that Jeremy Corbyn has, all the support he has an now,

:48:50. > :48:54.suddenly, he is a massive socialist and is moving in on those policies.

:48:55. > :49:05.It does not fit with his background. Whatever you can say about Jeremy

:49:06. > :49:07.Corbyn, he has stayed true. He has championed very unpopular policies

:49:08. > :49:10.and very unpopular causes because he believes in them. What has happened

:49:11. > :49:12.is people have made. Now a lot of people are agreeing with Jeremy

:49:13. > :49:16.Corbyn and are behind him and it looks like Owen Smith is moving in

:49:17. > :49:22.on his territory. What do you think about far left figures who want to

:49:23. > :49:29.join Labour is Jeremy Corbyn is elected? The far left, such as they

:49:30. > :49:32.are, would be very pleased to hear they think they have thousands and

:49:33. > :49:36.thousands of members. If anyone has been to a far left meteor knows

:49:37. > :49:41.anyone on the far left, it is by people in the room. It is lucky if

:49:42. > :49:46.they get 25. There are not thousands of people. Where are they? We have

:49:47. > :49:53.not seen them it is a myth. In terms of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, he

:49:54. > :49:59.has been insulted, spat upon from all sides. All the establishment and

:50:00. > :50:04.the media and his own party. He has shown leadership qualities in his

:50:05. > :50:10.resilience and bravery in standing up to that. Want to get a response

:50:11. > :50:15.from Kate Green. Last night, Owen was being booed by party members,

:50:16. > :50:21.not Jeremy. We all need to treat each other with respect in this

:50:22. > :50:29.contest. I also think what is really important, this argument is not

:50:30. > :50:34.about policies and politics, it is about confidence. We need to take on

:50:35. > :50:38.the Tories who are doing immense damage to communities families and

:50:39. > :50:47.the country. Jamie is failing to do that. He is letting the Tories get

:50:48. > :50:53.away with it. He is allowing the NHS to descend into crisis there is

:50:54. > :50:58.money running out without laying a finger on Jeremy Hunter and Theresa

:50:59. > :51:05.May to do with thing about it. Jeremy is not delivering that. MPs

:51:06. > :51:09.fill depressed at the lack of leadership. It is not an argument

:51:10. > :51:12.about politics. It is an argument about being able to do the job.

:51:13. > :51:19.Jeremy cannot do and Owen can and well. It is not just about one

:51:20. > :51:29.person. People have to get behind a leader. We have ran out of time.

:51:30. > :51:33.Thank you so much to all of you for joining us.

:51:34. > :51:36.There's a warning this morning about the dangers of unlicensed

:51:37. > :51:38.tattooists targeting young people with low prices and DIY tattoo kits.

:51:39. > :51:45.Councils across England and Wales have cracked down.

:51:46. > :51:47.Prosecuting a spate of unlicensed tattooists, seizing thousands

:51:48. > :51:55.It is illegal to tattoo someone else without a license and you have to be

:51:56. > :52:06.Two people concerned by this are Miles Chaperlin,

:52:07. > :52:08.known as Miles Better in the tattoo world.

:52:09. > :52:12.And, Peter Fleming is the Deputy Chairman at the Local Government

:52:13. > :52:17.The LGA represents English and Welsh councils responsible

:52:18. > :52:29.Thank you for joining us. Why are you issuing this warning now? A

:52:30. > :52:33.couple of reasons. The first is to allow people to understand the

:52:34. > :52:47.really serious health implications of having a home or illegal cities.

:52:48. > :52:52.-- tattooed. You have septicaemia, hepatitis, and potentially HIV. Any

:52:53. > :52:57.blood-borne disease. Your opening yourself up when you're going to an

:52:58. > :53:02.unlicensed, unregulated tattooist. What are you doing about making sure

:53:03. > :53:07.you are cracking down on unlicensed tattooists? Councils do licensed

:53:08. > :53:14.tattooists and make regular checks of licensed tattooed emporiums. I

:53:15. > :53:19.think, what we do is, we are seeing an increase both on social media of

:53:20. > :53:23.people advertising unlicensed tattooists. We are using that. Also,

:53:24. > :53:29.interestingly, people come to trading standards and say, I have

:53:30. > :53:32.had this tattoo done which is infected or not what I wanted. When

:53:33. > :53:37.we investigate that, we suddenly find it was not done by a licensed

:53:38. > :53:43.tattooists. It was done in a shed or the kitchen. That is one of the

:53:44. > :53:48.issues we are trying to raise today. Also the unbelievable low prices and

:53:49. > :54:06.ease of being able to buy these kits online. Do you get people coming to

:54:07. > :54:18.with bad that ooze? -- tattoos. It happens every week. People coming in

:54:19. > :54:24.with a bad tattoo. It is an issue of three things, I think. A health

:54:25. > :54:32.issue, as Pete was saying, and a moral issue. Children who are 16 to

:54:33. > :54:36.17-year-olds, can get hold of tattoo equipment online and the aesthetic

:54:37. > :54:38.issue. People do not know what they are doing the years of experience

:54:39. > :54:44.has taught me, what is the right thing to do into doing? What will

:54:45. > :54:51.work and what will not work. That does not happen when you buy stuff

:54:52. > :54:56.online. If someone is offered at two show a picture, what should you be

:54:57. > :55:04.looking for? What is the difference question what do what do you do an

:55:05. > :55:09.unlicensed tattooists does not do? When people are under 18, they do

:55:10. > :55:13.not apply as much common sense. If someone is Tatooine out of the

:55:14. > :55:24.kitchen, they do not have sterilising equipment. -- tattooing.

:55:25. > :55:34.That kills all blood-borne viruses. That is the case in any medical

:55:35. > :55:38.situation. The same equipment sterilisers everything. We have

:55:39. > :55:44.disposable needles. Everything has a single use and is thrown away. You

:55:45. > :55:51.have to think, is someone is tattooing in the kitchen, none of

:55:52. > :56:02.that will be in place. You're stuck with a tattoo, that whoever is doing

:56:03. > :56:07.it might not know what they are doing that you are two things you

:56:08. > :56:18.have a trust issue. Someone has had a bad experience. You have a trust

:56:19. > :56:22.issue when you're starting from a compromised situation. Starting at a

:56:23. > :56:29.point where you have to tailor to something that is already wrong. If

:56:30. > :56:35.I were getting a tattoo from you, what should I be looking out for?

:56:36. > :56:42.What do you want, where do you want to, what is your budget? What is the

:56:43. > :56:49.subject matter? I do not but if I did. When I do. You ask me

:56:50. > :56:54.questions. You need to see I am taking a new needle out of a packet

:56:55. > :56:58.if we are talking health issues. Is there initial trust. Do you feel I

:56:59. > :57:03.can constantly do what you want me to do? Have you seen my work online?

:57:04. > :57:11.Have you read reviews online of my work question what that is a trust

:57:12. > :57:20.issue, the really important thing. -- of my work? If you can trust me,

:57:21. > :57:24.I am onto a winner. What can happen? We are raising awareness of health

:57:25. > :57:34.issues and saying go to a registered, licensed tattooist like

:57:35. > :57:38.Miles. Check it is licensed and they are using new equipment every time.

:57:39. > :57:43.We are saying to the Government and people who sell these kits online,

:57:44. > :57:49.make sure they are harder to buy for those who are under 18 and make sure

:57:50. > :57:51.there is information about it. Thank you.
