Our top story today: Britain has won a fourth gold medal

at the Rio Olympics in a thrilling race in the velodrome.

Jason Kenny, Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner raced to victory

in the cycling team sprint - beating New Zealand

Team GB's Rugby Sevens were beaten by Fiji and took silver.

Patrick Gearey rounds up the highlights.

This is how you fill the seat of the night,

in Chris Hoy's saddle, 23 year old Callum Skinner, the man

who brought home another British team sprint gold.

Without Hoy, Britain's most successful Olympian,

this team of Skinner, Philip Hindes and Jason Kenny

Could a new combination repeat old success?

How would Skinner deal with the pressure of

COMMENTATOR: It's all going to come down to this last lap.

Who is going to claim the medal in Rio?

Up towards the line, and the gold medal

goes to Great Britain, the Olympic champions again!

In 42 and a bit seconds, the questions were answered.

One of 2012's names had changed, the medal remained the same.

To come here and be Olympic champion is just,

We have been working so hard, and it shows it pays off.

I have been training, day in and day out,

to improve my start and keep up with these boys.

From the lycra to the Lagoa, and this is a start line

Katherine Grainger and Victoria Thornley thought

The doubles sculls pair so out of form they had

Grainger had even given up rowing for two years

But, reunited and reinvigorated, at the halfway stage

As the line neared, a challenge appeared.

Great Britain against Poland, who could power through the pain?

COMMENTATOR: Heads up, legs down harder and harder again.

Poland now are feeling the pain, but they are going to be

Here come Poland, Poland getting Olympic gold.

So, no gold, but so much had been spent on that silver, a medal

which makes Grainger Britain's most decorated female Olympian.

There were many, many dark days, where I couldn't really see how this

So to be standing here, finally, in the Rio sunshine,

with the medal around our necks, makes it all worthwhile.

The last time rugby was at the Olympics,

it was 15-a-side, and only three nations entered.

Great Britain and South Africa had a battle just to reach the last four

of the first sevens competition, and GB were not

Once they had got past South Africa, and guaranteed a silver,

The problem - they could hardly touch Fiji.

This was always going to be the Pacific Island's best shot

Just to make sure of that, Fiji ran in 43 points.

Dan Norton's try was a small souvenir for the British side,

but the main memento hangs around their necks.

When travelling alone in the canoe, David Florence was washed off course

The task for him and Richard Hounslow -

get clean through 24 gates as quickly as possible.

It came down to the British against the Slovakians,

COMMENTATOR: And this is the moment of truth for Great Britain.

Are they going to add to the gold taken yesterday?

The gold they had longed for escaped them, but they had repeated

An impressively even keel, in this most chaotic of sports.

Annita McVeigh is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

Tourists resorts in southern Thailand have been hit

Four people have been killed and dozens wounded.

A number of foreigners are among the injured.

The resort of Hua Hin was hit for the second time

in under 24 hours, while there were also explosions

Jonathan Head has the latest from Bangkok.

The attacks started yesterday in the southern town of Trang, that one

bomb which killed a food vendor and then there were another couple in

the coastal resort of Hua Hin, hitting a bar area and injuring at

least ten foreigners and killing another local food vendor. Two

explosions in the Hua Hin again in the morning, and there were twinned

Barnes in the town of Surat Thani, -- twin bombs. There were also

team-1-macro found in the island of Hua Hin, -- there were also bombs in

the island of Hua Hin, very popular with tourists, no doubt this is a

co-ordinated attack, but the police are downplaying any links to

international terrorism, but they also downplaying any links to the

long-running southern insurgency which has been going on in the deep

south of Thailand for the past 12 years. The attacks are very summit

of the kind we have seen in the deep South, the rather shadowy

separatists in the South have used these kind of attacks against the

tight security forces and this pattern would seem to fit their mode

of operation. -- Thai. The insurgency has never really affected

tourism, they have never ready operated outside of the South, and

it will be interesting to see where the Thai investigation goes, but at

the moment we have tourists hiding in their hotels and streets

deserted, this is the Queen's birthday, an important day in

Thailand, and the authorities are struggling to come up with a

narrative which explains why we have seen such a co-ordinated series of

attacks at this time. One of the three British schoolgirls

who travelled to Syria to join the so called Islamic State group

is believed to have been killed. Kadiza Sultana was 16 when she left

Bethnal Green with two friends. The family's solicitor said

she was thought to have died in a Russian air-strike

in the IS held city of Raqqa. The moment Kadiza Sultana,

seen here in the middle, The image was taken at Gatwick

Airport last February. 16 years old, the pupil

from Bethnal Green Academy and her two 15-year-old

schoolfriends, Amira Abase and Shamima Begum, had

told their parents they were heading In reality, they were beginning

a journey that would take them via Turkey to join

the self-styled Islamic State. They are thought to have been living

in Raqqa, the IS stronghold Now, having not seen her for 18

months, Kadiza Sultana's family Although it has not been verified,

a few weeks ago they heard news she had been killed

during a Russian air strike. Well, they're very

obviously devastated. There's nothing worse than finding

out that your sibling or your family And by all accounts,

she was a young girl And it's a great loss

to all of us, really. Kadiza Sultana's family says she had

become disillusioned with her new life, but fear

of brutal punishment had They now know she will never return,

while the fate of her two Representatives of junior doctors

have called on their union to authorise fresh industrial action

in their dispute They've asked the full

council of their union, the British Medical Association,

to authorise action Junior doctors say ministers have

failed to address concerns A four day strike on Eurostar has

begun after RMT members walked out in a row over

their work-life balance. Union members will walk out

a further three days over the Bank Holiday weekend

at the end of August. Eurostar has made a handful

of changes to its timetable and says passengers with reservations can

travel as normal. Our correspondent Adam Fleming

is at St Pancras International Tell us about the reasons behind the

strike and how passengers are going to be affected. The strike is being

held by members of the RMT union and the people who have walked out the

train managers, members of staff to check tickets and make announcements

on the train and supervise the journey between London and France or

Belgium. This is the picket line behind us, we have heard whistles.

They say the root of the dispute is that the management of Eurostar have

gone back on a deal which was done with staff in 2008 about their

worklife balance and train managers feel the deal is being ignored and

they are working too many bank holidays and too many weekends and

too many early shifts, in comparison to their colleagues who work on this

service in France and Belgium, that is what the strike is about. In

terms of the impact on passengers, fairly minimal, Eurostar cancelled a

couple of services between London and Brussels today, no cancellations

tomorrow, four trains have been cancelled between London and Paris

on Sunday and another two on Monday, so eight services, and Eurostar said

they would normally run 200 over that period, so not many trains have

been affected by this industrial action. The company and the unions

are in talks about trying to solve this issue, and in other train

strike related use, unions are meeting southern trains because of

course there have been weeks and weeks of problems on the services

between London Victoria and the South of England, as well. Thanks

BBC News - more at 930. Let's get the latest

on the Olympics. Another good day for Team GB,

4 medals, but just the one gold. Good news is we seem to be talking

about a good day for Team GB Credit for the gold goes

to GB Cycling once again. You may remember the raft of medals

they took at London 2012, And the first gold for GB

on the track came in the men's With Philip Hindes, Callum Skinner

and Jason Kenny taking gold ahead of New Zealand - the result is even

more remarkable given they set an Olympic Record,

just 4 months after finishing sixth at the Track World

Championships in London. And that gold sets up

Jason Kenny in particular, because he will go as one

of the favourites in the the individual sprint and keirin

with the chance to equal Sir Chris Hoy's British record

of six Olympic gold medals. And while we are talking cycling,

Great Britain's women broke the world record in qualifying

in the women's team pursuit, so much to look forward

to from the Velodrome in Rio. Some big parties in Fiji? I'm sure

there are. It's the first time

Rugby Sevens has been included at an Olympic Games and it has

provided a fantastic slice The only sad thing from a British

point of view is that Fiji's first ever Olympic medal

of any colour came at the expense But the Fijians were very deserving

winners, they scored 7 tries in the final match -

their President said, "Never have It's just a sign of

the significance that Olympic achievement holds

across the globe. There was a small piece of British

success there, though, the former England Sevens coach

Ben Ryan led the Fiji side to gold so it's congratulations

to him as well. A fantastic achievement for

Katherine Grainger. Just incredible. If the achievement for her. She won

silver medals for she finally took the gold medal at London 2012. She

left the sport for two years. She wanted to make Rio but preparation

was not ideal. She and her partner were aiming for a place in the

women's eight for a while for that they were in touch with Poland,

leading at the halfway stage in the end of the British pair ran out of

steam, to be pipped by Poland. It was a silver to be proud of,

especially for the 40-year-old Grainger -- Katherine Grainger. I

remember at the start thinking, if I came away with anything, it would

properly be my greatest achievement. There were many dark days. To be

standing here with a medal around my neck, it is great. Mum and dad, I

promise, I will never put you through that again. Where are we in

the medals table? The other medal yesterday was David Florence and

Richard Hounslow. It was another silver medal in the canoe double.

What those three silvers and the goal means in the medal table, a

rise for Team GB. They are eighth in the table. It is one point ahead of

the last time round in London for some it is going very well. What

should we be looking out for today? There is a lot. Today sees the start

of the track and field events in Rio. Usain Bolt will be taking to

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

Ennis Hill beginning the defence of her Olympic heptathlon crown.

Katarina Johnson Thompson is a real medal prospect this time around as

well so they will be starting with the 100 metre hurdles. Both of those

hopefully will make a good start. Joe Pavey will be going in the

10,000 metres. Andy Murray will be playing in his quarterfinal in the

men's singles. In the rowing, we're looking at Helen standing and

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

velodrome, aiming to become the first Briton to win eight Olympic

medals in the team pursuit final. There could be more medals to come

on day seven. We'll be speaking to a mother

who lost her daughter in a boating accident and only now, after 13

years, has got compensation. The biggest competition for Jessica

Ennis Hill will come from Katarina Johnson Thompson. Let's cross to

Sheffield where Mike Bushell is at the training ground of Jessica Ennis

Hill. I'd bet they are hoping for a repeat of super Saturday. Wouldn't

it be amazing to have both Brits involved. Just watching some of the

human kangaroos that Jeff Ennis Hill has helped inspire over the years.

-- Jessica Ennis Hill. Doing really well with the long jump as well. He

might have spotted the former British Olympian, Jamie Meadows, who

is just helping us out with her new job. -- Jenny Meadows. You're really

here to talk to us about the fascinating showdown between the two

Brits. Jessica Ennis Hill hoping to become the first female British

athlete to retain title. Katarina Johnson Thompson has never really

done at the big event. It is a mouthwatering prospect. Jessica is

doing really well. She came back from childbirth to win the world

title last year. Katrina is at the top of her game. She competed really

well in the London anniversary games. It will be a close contest.

It is about whether she can handle the pressure put up she was

disqualified the node jumps at the World Championships. Otherwise she

would have medals. -- disqualified for no jumps. Hopefully she has

learned her lesson and can build on it. Hopefully Rio will be a place

she can sign. Only twice in the Olympics have mums come back from

having a baby and triumphed. Jess is a phenomenal talent. If anyone can

do it but she can. It is such a difficult thing. To actually do it

in seven events is a lot of training. I am backing that she can

do it. There is a third contender we must talk about, the Canadian, who

has the best school in the year so far. I think that will help the

British girls. -- the best score. Jessica keeps saying I am not the

favourite. Maybe it is nice to go into the championship is not having

been number one feeling. Breanne really unfolded last year with

just's is on in the World Championships. I think she will have

learnt from that. She is on top of her game was a bit of it is a really

close contest was that I think some great schools will be achieved. Talk

us through how it works. -- great schools. Jess starts really well in

the hurdles. Katarina Johnson Thompson is great at the high jump

and solid in the hurdles. They cannot slip up on any events which

are their best. We are looking for a great start in the first morning of

the competition. It all concludes on Saturday night with the 800 metres

quite your specialist event. What is the key to that? All three of the

girls, their personal bests are very closely matched. They are all within

one second. It is about seeing how many points they can score. Tactics

will be involved. The last 100 metres will be very close between

all three of them. It is what position they have built up going

into the last event. We cannot wait to see it on the BBC. Can you do us

a Michael Phelps games face? -- game face? It looks quite alarm. That's

hope they are not feeling glum after tomorrow! Jo Pavey will also be in

the stadium. There was a men's team sprint gold last night. Tessa

Sanderson competed at six Olympic Games and won gold in javelin in

1984 in LA. Emma Trott is a retired road racing cyclist and is the

oldest sister and -- sister. Have you spoken to your brother-in-law

since he won his fourth gold? No, I have not spoken to Jason personally.

We have a bit of a family chat going on with mum and dad in Rio as well

and Laura being there. We have seen pictures of Laura sending pictures

back to us. I should say your brother-in-law to be. They are not

married yet. Anything can happen. You never know. What is that group

you have setup? Just a family chat on WhatsApp. A family thing. It is

good to keep athletes focused on other stuff, not just the Olympic

bubble, so to speak. How are you distracting them? Just jokes. We had

a joke going for a long time. Pictures of what I'm getting up to

in New Zealand and stuff. Just life things, not living in a village, I

suppose. Even now I bet you're delighted with the wind from a

family viewpoint, beating New Zealand must be tough. -- with the

win. I am happy for the Brits. Team sprint was an event where they took

a lot of flak going into it. There was was going to be difficult to

find someone. When Chris retired, he was outstanding in every respect.

For them guys, it was almost, this is us. Chris Hoy is tipping Jason

Kenney for three golds. What do you think? It would not surprise me. It

would not be a shock. He is the four year man. He goes quite for three

years and on the fourth he is back in business. It will be called. Good

for his confidence. -- cool. He deserves it. He works as hard as

anyone else. It would equal the amount of medals that Chris Hoy has.

Let's not forget your sister set a world record in qualifying

yesterday. It is a big day for her. They are not riding today. They have

a day. It is only the men's team pursuit ride today. They have a day

then there are competing again on Saturday, I believe, Rio time. It is

a good marker, isn't it? A good step. You want to be that team that

everyone has now got to chase. They were a second clear of America, who

was was be their biggest rivals. Six seconds clear of Australia. That

rivalry is huge. I think they have put the marker down now. It is up to

them to go out and prove they have it in the tank for another two

rides. How hard has she been training for this? Really hard. It

is a long process. For years is a long time. It was always going to be

difficult to expect GB to go out and be as strong and all guns blazing as

they work in London. London was the home games and special for so many

reasons. Laura is the kind of person who loves riding her bike. She does

not know anything else she really enjoys it. For Laura, she should not

call it a job, Chi should call it a hobby because she loves it that

much. She wants to win. She is a winner. That is the attitude she

has. Every training session she will do 100% so she can go and win. A

great attitude to have. Thank you for joining us.

Tessa, over to you. Everything is in the big arena full stop it has all

been so fantastic. I have been watching everything was even Jason

last night. All the swimming. The big buzz, I think, for Team GB, is

the way we have started. Swimming and diving have been phenomenal.

That has kicked off for athletics. Faces were medals were not expected,

let's be honest. With the kayaking, that has been superb. Rugby sevens

for the women, that is full great. Gary Medel school or are coming.

That gives athletics at big birds. -- that is all great. The medals are

coming. Having done heptathlon before, I know there are seven

events to do. It will not go all the way of Jess. We must look out at

Katarina Johnson Thompson. She did not do so well in the World

Championship is because of her long jump. We know that chess is a

fighter. -- Jess is a fighter. The Canadian got second last time. It is

not going to be all that easy. Jess is a tough fighter. She is. How

different do think it will be to 2012? On super Saturday we had three

golds in the space of 45 minutes. This is different, it is in Rio. How

much difference to thing that would make? Home advantage is phenomenal.

It really helps. Alone in new step in that arena, either at big buzz.

I'm not just doing it for me. I have to really perform. The girl who did

well for Brazil, she came from a world which was that poor but she

has excelled now. Home advantage is fantastic. I'm looking at athletics

today. People like Greg Rutherford, he has to get in and make sure he

treats qualifying like a final. That is how it is with Beeld eventers.

Double double, I'm going to stick my head out. Field events. Mo Farah. He

knows about other people's tactics. He needs to watch the Ethiopian. The

two Americans have jumped a little bit higher. It is all go for

athletics. Big things to look at. What do you think about the medal

target? UK sport for athletics is hoping between seven and nine. Is

that achievable? To be honest, I am gearing that way. If athletics up

their game and make sure everything goes to part we are looking for, I

think we will be closed all on target, like they are saying. You

just have to look at the whole thing. -- close all on target. The

swimming has gone great, the cycling, athletics, more to come.

Not just on the medal haul from 2012. The relays... I think we are

going to be on target. What is really good about athletics as well.

The age barrier. Look at Tesla Pavey. She is aged 42. -- Jo Pavey.

Tesla Pavey was then she came last in a sports day race among parents

in her son's ball stay. She obviously produces results when she

needs to. -- sports day. This is a different ball game. Team GB is

ready. It is another big day in the rowing.

Heather Glover and Helen standing will compete in the women's pairs.

-- Heather Stanning. Rowing is one of the most successful sports for

Team GB, and we can go to Henley-on-Thames, a place which has

produced many Olympians. It has. If you look at the table here, it said

111 yesterday, but now it is 112, this is the world's most successful

rowing club and if I can show you inside, these yellow boats are

?40,000 each, they are like the Rolls-Royce of boats and most clubs

might have a couple, but here they go on and on. We can talk to Greg

Searle. Nice to see you. You got a bronze medal in the London Olympics,

what is it like watching the Olympics now? Do you feel your time

is done? I love competing, and that is fun, being out in Rio, but the

hard thing is the training and the build-up. Watching Katherine

Grainger yesterday, she has come back at 40 and you did the same, is

40 the magic age? When we are older we have more wisdom and you want to

capture the enthusiasm of 20 and the wisdom of 40, and that is what

Katherine Grainger was able to do, and the bravery, they were so tough

yesterday. You need all of that to win Olympic medals. We have Helen

Glover and Heather Stanning. I'm looking forward to that, the women's

pair and the men's four, they are the best gold medal shots and I'm

looking forward to that. We will now talk to Graham and Anna, it has been

a difficult Olympics for Graham, he should be in Rio but he was flown

back for illness. He is back on the water, training hard. Good morning.

Good morning. Tell us about what the Olympics was like for you? Very

disappointing. I flew out and went to Heathrow Airport in my Team GB

kit and got there and work up the next day feeling sick and told the

doctor, I thought it would not be a big deal, couple of days, relaxing

and resting, but Monday morning the performance director and doctor

decided I would not be well enough to race and so they told me the

Olympics was over and I was crushed. The most is a bonding moment of your

life? Yes, definitely. -- you most disappointing. I thought it was

going to be my first Olympic Games, but it wasn't to be, but now I'm

looking to the future. You are back here, training hard, looking ahead.

Yes, putting up a plan in place, Tokyo 2020 is now my focus. Your

girlfriend here. It has been hard for you. Yes, Graham is a testament

to his character, he has come home and made a plan and the plan is to

be there with him through the next Olympics and I'm sure things will

write themselves. We will be keeping our fingers crossed for you. Thank

you for speaking to us. You think of early mornings and cold gloomy

mornings when you think of rowing, but if you look across the river

Thames, it makes everyone wants to get out and have a go. Thanks for

joining us. Still to come, we will talk to a

mother who has only just got compensation for the death of her

daughter who was involved in a boating accident. And we have more

about the schoolgirl who went to fight with so-called Islamic State

and has died. Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of today's news. Team GB are celebrating a fourth

gold medal at the Rio Olympics. It was won by Jason Kenny,

Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner They beat New Zealand

by a tenth of a second. The Kiwis went very fast in the

semifinal, the Olympic record, and I thought we were relying on them

falling to bits, to be honest, but they didn't, and yet we went out and

beat them and I'm very proud and happy.

Tourists resorts in southern Thailand have been hit

Four people have been killed and dozens wounded.

A number of foreigners are among the injured.

One of the three British schoolgirls who travelled to Syria to join

the so called Islamic State group is believed to have been killed.

Kadiza Sultana was 16 when she left Bethnal Green with two friends.

The family's solicitor said she was thought to have died

in a Russian air-strike in the IS held city of Raqqa.

Representatives of junior doctors have called on their union

to authorise fresh industrial action in their dispute

They've asked the full council of their union,

the British Medical Association, to authorise action

Junior doctors say ministers have failed to address concerns

That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10.

Today Bradley Wiggins is aiming to do this again, stand on top of the

podium, he could become the first Briton to win eight Olympic medals

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

-- Jessica Ennis still is relishing the chance to make history today.

Just after ten we are going to look ahead to events on the track with

Iwan Thomas. Laura Morgan was 11 years

old when she died after a catamaran capsized while she was on holiday

in Greece in 2003. But only now, after a 13 year legal

battle, her mother Lynne Sunsail, which is now owned by Tui,

appealed the decision by the Supreme Court

that it was responsible delaying Last week however at a UK hearing,

the firm was ordered to pay the remaining compensation owed

to the family. We can speak now to

Laura's mother, Lynne. It can't be easy to talk about what

has happened even after all this time. What do you remember from that

day? What I remember, coming to the end of a lovely holiday out on the

Greek waters, lovely sunshine, and I remember giving my daughter --

daughters bringing them a sandwich because they were too lazy to get up

for breakfast. When did you find out the details of what happened? You

were not with her that day? No, I was on the water myself, and Laura

was with another family for the day. I came over on the boat and there

was a James Bond moment, a speedboat was sent for me and I was raced

across the water to come back to shore. The boat capsized and she

became trapped underneath and it was the trapeze harness which allowed

sailors to steer the boat, and that became tangled in the rigging. When

did you know that? I did not know until I got back to the UK and the

British police got in contact with me. I got to speak to the other

family involved. When did you realise or launch an investigation?

When did you realise that something was done which could have been

prevented? The British police said they have been contacted, they were

trying to track down members of staff, because then again to be

criminal charges in Greece. How did you react? -- because there were

going to be criminal charges. I knew it should not have happened. It was

hard to come to terms with because you were not with Laura that day?

Not really. No one can be with their child all the time and she was in

the very capable and loving care of another family. Why has it taken 13

years? The Greek system is a very tortuous one and because Sunsail

have used that Greek system and allowed it to continue whenever

possible, to keep appealing, and there are three levels to the Greek

system, the court, the appeal, and the Supreme Court. We have been

through 13 court hearings in 13 years. Firstly with the criminal

case and when that was done and dusted, business records, they are

guilty verdicts, homicide by misadventure. They are guilty of

Laura's manslaughter and then we started a civil case and that has

been so protracted, as well. At 1.I would have hoped the company would

have said, we need to put our hands up but they haven't -- at one point

I would have hoped. I should say to people were convicted. -- two. Did

that help? To a degree, but it was all about the company, and there is

no corporate manslaughter in Greece. Two young people have convictions,

that is unfortunate, but I was happy to move to the civil courts where I

was able to... Sunsail, they were the opposition, if you like. How

were you treated by Sunsail? Appallingly, they have never shown

an outside from horse or -- ounce of remorse or corporate consideration,

they have hidden behind lawyers, and I think their reputation has been

severely damaged by the way they have treated me. If only they had

put their hands up and said, we have got things wrong. The next day they

changed procedures. That must be reassuring, the fact policies have

been changed in some respects. Yes, it is, and you don't want this to

happen again, but that does not bring Laura back. I can't even

imagine what you have been going through, but to have to fight in

court, appeal after appeal, court cases in the UK and in Greece, how

did you get through that? With fantastic support from very close

friends who came out with me. I remember one Appeal Court, it was

almost like a prison, awful place. There was a barrage of defence,

Greek defence lawyers, and I was standing on my own as if I was the

criminal and they will all fall to me, and they tried to rip me to

pieces and they tried to blame me for all of this. How were they

blaming you? They said parental responsibility, Laura was not in a

kids club when this happened, therefore I should have been

responsible. They blamed youth not being with her? Yes, effectively,

and the courts exonerated me as did the inquest in Nottingham. That is

nasty. To do that to a mother who has lost their child. When you are

grieving, to be blamed, as well, can you even describe how that made you

feel? It made me more determined to

continue this fight for justice for Laura. They were just so passive.

They were waiting for the day I would give up the fight. The longer

it went on, the more term and I was to see this through to the bitter

end. Was there ever a time when you consider dropping the case? Never.

Grief is a very powerful driver and emotion. I loved Laura so much.

There was no way I would let them get away with this. I wanted the

truth to come out as well. They were operating illegally out in Greece.

That is what they were found guilty of. They were operating. It was

against the court authority -- Port authority regulations for people

under 16 to be in boats unaccompanied. What sort of child

was Laura? She was beautiful. She was only 11 that had an older

sister. As such, she was old for her age. She was tactile, emotional,

happy. She loved life. It destroys me to think of a life she will never

have. I am grateful for you coming in and sharing your story with us.

Thank you so much. Thank you. The company concerned have sent us this

statement. We will always regret the stress this protracted process has

caused to Laura's family. We are aware this matter has taken a number

of years to reach revolution. The claim for compensation was pursued

by the family through the Greek courts. We can confirm the company

has always acted in accordance with any orders received from the Greek

courts, who have only recently delivered their final judgment. They

have always maintained it operated and continues to operate within the

stringent safety guidelines set out by the Royal yachting Association.

Safety is always an absolute priority for us.

One of the three schoolgirls who travelled from Bethnal Green

in East London to join the Islamic State group in Syria

She's thought to have died in a Russian air-strike

This is what the family lawyer told BBC Newsnight.

Well, they are very obviously devastated.

There is nothing worse than finding out the sibling or

By all accounts, she was a young girl with a promising future.

Every effort was made, from the very beginning,

Despite all efforts, unfortunately we find ourselves with

the loss of a young life, a very promising life as well.

No-one else was aware of her intention because of the risk of

But it was something that was progressed

The problem with it all is that the only person who can

assess risk factors on the ground is the person themselves.

A young girl being asked to assess the risks

around staying in a wall Saint versus the risks of trying to evade

Isis and to leave, it is an onerous burden for someone to try and

She had to make the first effort to try and leave her

That opportunity did not present itself.

By the time an opportunity would have come about, Isis had put a lot

of effort into dissuading people from going.

This is by brutally killing other young girls who were

So, she decided she didn't want to take the risk.

Let's discuss the issue more. Anita is here from the Freedom charity.

Anita, good morning. Thank you for joining us. What is your reaction to

what must be devastating news for the family? It must be devastating.

The real concern is that this case highlights that many young girls,

and boys, feel there will be some romantic idea that if they go across

to Syria and fight the West in this way, they will get a better life. We

know that will never be the case. We need to really try and change the

hearts and minds of these young people. The problem is, it is so

secretive. They are looking online and trying to find information about

how they can get across to Syria and what life will be like. They are fed

an awful lot of lies about what it will be like. It would be an awful

life if they go out there. What do you talk to students about if they

have this romantic idea of a utopia they can go to? Once someone goes

out, it is almost, not completely, but almost impossible to come back

if you do try and leave, the risk that you will be killed or brutally

murdered by Isis, it is something they are doing to dissuade people

from leaving. Once someone has gone, it will not be as wonderful or

romantic as someone might think. It is not. Basic human rights and

freedoms will be taken away from anybody who goes out over there. The

family lawyer said she had become disillusioned and wanted to return

and may have been planning her return. This has ended in the worst

way possible. For others who are stuck out there, is there any

prospect if they want to come back of them returning? Who would date be

supported by? If someone wants to come back, the families need to

contact the authorities. Everything will be done if it is safe for that

to happen. The risk is, many people may want to come back and are

radicalised. We have seen horrors happening around the world almost

every day. People really need to think long and hard about decisions

to go out there. The main aim is to stop anybody else from wanting to

go. What people are looking at online. What is making them turn

their back on the west and the culture where they are given every

freedom and opportunity to be the very best people they can be. That

is what we really need to address. What is going wrong with the

education system where people think they will get a better life

elsewhere? That will not be the case. I am writing a new book that

works around how we are going to look at this around young people. A

fiction about how life will be horrendous for them. What do you

think can be done to stop people going out to fight and join

so-called Islamic State? We have to undermine the extremist propaganda.

It says you cannot live as a good Muslim in Britain. You have to go to

somewhere like where Islamic State claim to have a utopia ideal place

to live. The have to undermine that. We have to show people that Britain

is welcome to people of all faiths and you can be a very good Muslim.

The basic values are mostly the same in the West. That message does not

seem to be getting through. There are 800 people who have gone over,

left the UK, to join their scores, as they see it. In the last five

years, there has been a failure. There were probably decades of

extremist activity in this country which led to that. We are seeing

people dissuaded. The fact that at least 50 British people died who

joined IS in the conflict and air strikes. I think this will deter

others from going. The so-called is a mix tape is not about to be

defeated militarily. We have to think about what will be done. --

Islamic State. Many will be disillusioned and realise they have

made a massive mistake. Britain has to be welcoming and charitable and

generous enough to give people a second chance and that is what we

do. On one hand, you are worried about repercussions if you come back

to the UK and repercussions and punishment if so-called Islamic

State find out. These people are caught in a terrible situation. They

are risking death at every corner. One or two have come back to this

country. Over the next couple of years, with Islamic State losing

territory, will properly see dozens, hundreds, coming back. We have to

make about what to do. We have to deradicalise in prison. The head

said they would not impose prosecution. They were children when

they went out there and arguably groomed by extremists. Realising

they have made a terrible mistake. There are community programmes and

official programmes to help people reintegrate into society. We must

assert our values of what British human rights and universal values to

be inclusive to people of all faiths and religions to stop young, devout

Muslims imagining a better future elsewhere. What do you think the

Government should do? Government and communities need to continue an open

and honest conversation about our brightest young men and women. Top

students are leaving to go and join. There are some grievances and

marginalisation and Islamophobia, perhaps. When they come back but we

need to reintegrate people. London has a Muslim MP. That undermines the

Isis propaganda hugely, for example. There are many other aspects of

British society we need to champion and celebrate and stop apologising

for. Asserting our sense of universal values and continue to be

welcoming to refugees, to strangers, to others all around the world.

Thank you both for joining us. Let's get the latest weather

update with Alex Deakin. Before we hear about the weather,

can you tell me about this amazing meteor shower which everyone has

been talking about and I have not seen?

Last night and tonight are the peak of the meteor shower forced it

happens every year but is particularly active vision because

of Jupiter, which is interacting with the tale of the comment. These

particles from a comet tail the Earth passes through every year

round about this time. You get streaks in the sky. It looks like a

shooting star. The particle can be the size of a speck of dust,

travelling at 60 comet is a second was a heating the mystic can it

create something like that. -- 60: that is an hour. This does not look

too impressive. A couple of little specks. You can see the stars moving

and that is when you know you have seen a meatier. The next few nights

are pretty good. You do need clear skies to see them. Hopefully

Saturday night should be reasonably clear. They peek round about now.

For the next few nights you should still be able to see them. You need

to look around the constellation Perseus, that is where they get the

name from. In the North East, you need to be patient and stay outside

for a little while so your eyes get adjusted to the skies. You cannot go

in and watch the Olympics and go out again. You need to stay outside for

a good 15 to 20 minutes in your eyes get properly adjusted. Hopefully

after midnight, you should start to fear. They tend to be present for a

little while. Keep your eyes to the skies and a little bit of caffeine.

Playing ball, we do need clear skies. Cloud at moments across

Scotland. Largely clear skies today. Sue is sending this boat to win from

Dorset. Many of us will see sunny skies. -- this photo in. The next

two days will turn hotter. Not glorious everywhere. This band of

cloud has made quite a lot of rain in the next few days. It is still

raining across the Highlands. The rain will build up and potentially

cause a few problems. Pushing down into Northern Ireland. Clouding over

a little across western parts of England and Wales it will be

blustery with strong gusts in the north-east of England. The wettest

conditions in the West of Scotland. That will mount up after a couple of

very soggy days. 18, 19 in north-east Scotland with the rain

pushing into Northern Ireland. It will cloud over a bit in the West.

Quite a lot of low cloud in Wales and the south-west of England. That

will melt away. In the Midlands and the East of England, a beautiful

day. Cracking conditions if you are off to a Test match at the Oval.

Could get up to 24, 20 five Celsius. Looking further ahead, tonight, East

Anglia and the south-east should stay largely clear. There may be

breaks in the cloud further north. Generally it will be a bit too

cloudy for the meteor shower at night. The rain is sinking its way

southwards and a few showers in the Northwest. Tonight will not be too

chilly. A better chance on Saturday night. Saturday will see more cloud

generally in the Midlands. A few bits of rain here and there. Some

showers in the north-west. The rain easing finally. Temperature wise

through the course of the weekend, high teens to loan 20s. Sunday looks

like a fine day for most of us. -- the low 20s. Starting to warm up and

it will get warmer still as we head into the early part of next week

with that itself is possible on Tuesday.

Welcome to the programme if you've just joined us.

Philip Hindes, Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner from the men's

cycling sprint team retained their title,

winning a fourth Gold medal for Team GB.

And rower Katherine Grainger became Britain's most decorated female

Olympian ever after she scooped silver with her teammate

It absolutely destroys me to think of the life she will never have. And

we have a warning about contracting hepatitis.

Our top story today: Britain has won a fourth gold medal

at the Rio Olympics in a thrilling race in the velodrome.

Jason Kenny, Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner raced to victory

in the cycling team sprint - beating New Zealand

The Kiwis went very fast release a final and they made an Olympic

record and we were sort of relying on them falling to pieces, we

thought, but they didn't, and we went out and beat them and I'm very

proud of that and very happy. At least four people have died in

bomb attacks in Thailand. One of the three British schoolgirls

who travelled to Syria to join the so called Islamic State group

is believed to have been killed. Kadiza Sultana was 16 when she left

Bethnal Green with two friends. The family's solicitor said

she was thought to have died in a Russian air-strike

in the IS held city of Raqqa. Representatives of junior doctors

begun after RMT members walked out in a row over

their work-life balance. Union members will walk out

a further three days over the Bank Holiday weekend

BBC News. We've been telling you about the

schoolgirl believed to be killed in Syria, and we have a message, it

says, she made a life choice to travel to a war-torn country and

join a terrorist organisation. Another person says, if it is

impossible to return from Syria, why are so many men returning? And we

have a message regarding the boating accident, one says they are moved by

the strength and dignity for the mother who was fighting for

compensation for her daughter's death.

And now we can get some sport, it has been been -- been another great

day. 24 gold medals up for grabs today, Team GB celebrating their

fourth gold medal after dominating in the velodrome and the men's

sprint team were defending their title, they were not expected to

win, but they put in a great performance.

This is how you fill the seat of the night,

who brought home another British team sprint gold.

COMMENTATOR: It's all going to come down to this last half lap.

Who is going to claim the gold medal in Rio?

Up towards the line, and the gold medal

goes to Great Britain, the Olympic champions again!

In 42 and a bit seconds, the questions were answered.

One of 2012's names had changed, the medal remained the same.

To come here and be Olympic champion is just,

We have been working so hard, and it shows it pays off.

I have been training, day in and day out,

to improve my start and keep up with these boys.

Poland now are feeling the pain, but they are going to be

Here come Poland, Poland getting Olympic gold.

So, no gold, but so much had been spent on that silver, a medal

which makes Grainger Britain's most decorated female Olympian.

There were many, many dark days, where I couldn't really see how this

So to be standing here, finally, in the Rio sunshine,

with the medal around our necks, makes it all worthwhile.

it was 15-a-side, and only three nations entered.

Are they going to add to the gold taken yesterday?

The gold they had longed for escaped them, but they had repeated

An impressively even keel, in this most chaotic of sports.

It's the first day of the track and field, Jessica Ennis-Hill will begin

the defence of her heptathlon title. I'm joined by Iwan Thomas. Everyone

wants Jess to do well. Her main rival, fingers crossed, Katarina

Johnson Johnson, and I think she's likely be better athlete on paper --

Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Jessica has the right mindset, and she seems

to get it right. I think she will probably take it, if I was to put my

money on, but wheels have her Canadian rival, another great rival

but if Jess gets everything right on the day and is able to control her

mind, I think she can win again which would be such an achievement.

What is it about her mentality which makes her a champion? She's a winner

in life, a great person off the track but she also becomes a

determined athlete, the savage warrior, when she needs to become an

she's lovely off the track, but she's a great competitor. -- when

she needs to, and she's lovely off the track. All the heptathlete are

great friends off the track because they know the sacrifices they make

to get there, but if Jessica can retain that title, everyone will be

chuffed. Katarina Johnson-Thompson, she can achieve a medal? Definitely.

At the Anniversary Games she got a personal best in the high jump and a

season's best in the long jump, she's in great shape, but she has

two proved she has the mentality to hold it together, but I do think

quite conceivably we will have a one two on the podium. Jo Pavey, what

does it take for someone to come back into the Olympics at the age of

42, in a tough race like the 10,000 metres? On the same age and I find

it hard to get out of bed some mornings. -- I'm the same. She's an

inspiration to women out there who have had children, but also to

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

knuckling down and training, and never lose sight of your goal, then

age is just a number. One of the stars, Usain Bolt, he will start his

events later this evening. If he wins the 100 and 200 metres again,

will he be seen as the greatest of all time? I think so, to win one

Olympic title in track and field is hard, the training on the body to be

an athlete is so demanding, the longer -- long career he has had, I

think he will go down as the greatest athlete ever, if he can win

both. So much look forward to. All the coverage will be across BBC TV

and radio. Team GB are now eighth

in the Olympic medals table with 16 medals -

four golds, six silvers They'll be hoping to add to that

haul, as the athletic events get underway today

and Jessica Ennis-Hill starts defending her Olympic

heptathlon title. It will also be a big day

for trampolinist, Kat Driscoll, who's been filming her Olympic

journey for us. She will be taking part

in the qualification programme later today with the top 10

going through to Sunday's final. So, we have just finished

training for the day. On our way to the Team GB house

where we can go to meet our My mum and dad and my

husband, who is also my coach, will be over there

to meet me, which will be cool. It will be the first time I have

seen them It is obviously not a very

nice day out here today. We are at the nearest

and dearest bit. This is the place,

basically, we get to come, outside the village,

and meet up with friends and family. Catching up in a secure environment

which is really cool. There are loads of people in here,

chilling on sofas and you get a chance to catch up with them and get

out of the bubble of the environment for a little bit, which is really

nice and always needed. You need a bit of

downtime, chill time. You don't want to focus too much

on what is going on and make

too big a deal of it. This is quite nice to come

and have a little chill and To be fair, it is raining

today, not so good. There are 24 golds up for grabs at

the Olympics today. Jessica Ennis here will be taking to the track to

defend her heptathlon title. -- Jessica Ennis-Hill. Joining her will

be Jo Pavey. Following on from Jason Kenny and the men's aims

and cold last night, joining us now are Dame Kelly Holmes, Cath Bishop,

an Olympic silver medallist, who has known Katherine Grainger for 20

years. In Cambridge, Michael Hutchinson, an International cyclist

and journalist. Thank you for joining us. Your mate has done

pretty well, hasn't she? What an incredible performance! Just

stunning for them to produce that of all the trials and jubilation as she

has been through the is an incredible role model for our sport,

women's rowing and women's sport. Anybody who has an incredible dream

they want to find a way to achieve. She nearly did not make the team,

did she? They had a real challenge. They had not delivered as a duo or

got the results behind them. Everyone was doubting them. There

was a huge query about them. You have spoken to Catherine, how is she

feeling? She is so excited and relieved. I felt pride that she had

done something really special out there yesterday. Perhaps there is an

inner peace for the rest of her life. This time she really will be

able to retire. She has an incredible set of medals to look

back on for ever. Can you just put into context how much winning that

medal meant? She took a two-year break after 2012 and nearly did not

make the team. I do not think we were expecting her to medal, where

we? If you look at the form book and go of evidence, you would not expect

her to medal she is incredible competitor. We saw an amazing

performance from her and from Vicki Thornley. To put that together when

you have no evidence that you have ever done that before, maybe a

little bit in training, it is phenomenal. What both of them have

gone through of water, all the months of doubt, others around you

not really believing you will perform. Also some people saying to

Katherine Grainger, you left it too late, you took too long now. All

that negativity for the both of them had to keep a real resilience going

and inner relief. -- release. They never gave up, even when others had

given up, even when they were not selected. They still believed they

could find a way and his huge credit to both of them. We have had

surprised medal wins in guiding and swimming but cycling is summer we

are always expected to clean up. Why are we so good at it? -- is

somewhere. Cycling was one of the sports that got lottery funding 15

years ago. They really made the most of it. They produced a very

effective programme. They have a terrific training venue in

Manchester. One advantage they have is they put all the athletes in a

training venue working with the best coaches they could find. That

intensity and focus has produced the results we have seen from 2008 and

2012, and hopefully in the next few days in Rio. Chris Hoy has tipped

Jason Kenny to win three golds in Rio. Do you think that is possible?

It is possible. Chris predicted that yesterday or the day before. A lot

of us were sceptical. We were not really expecting the win we got last

night in the team pursuit. They have knocked it out of the ballpark. They

have not performed since London. They have been mediocre since

London. Suddenly they have done. All off to a bit but think about whether

Sir Chris is right about it. They have every chance. Do you think we

could replicate the 2012 medal haul? Cycling seemed to be at its peak

back then. Having home advantage helped significantly. I do not think

we will quite get to that. By now, in London, there was a gold for

Bradley Wiggins on the road. Team GB did not get any medals on the road.

They got bronze for Chris Froome. They are a medal down already

thought they have lost Victoria Pendleton from the women's sprint

side. I'm not sure the current women's sprinters are quite at the

level she was at. Based on yesterday, it shows the technology

package where the team is and how confident the team is based on that,

Britain might get quite close. Maybe a little bit short. I do not think

it will be very different. Probably better than a lot of us expected.

What do you make of the velodrome? It only opened in June. I think

there were people arguing it only opened yesterday afternoon. There

were certainly reports coming from Rio of nocturnal building noises

around the velodrome every night with drilling, thumping and banging.

It looks terrific on television. Any of my colleagues say, the public

facing bits of it are OK. There are still bits and pieces are being

finished. The track itself has bits of filler and things on it. It may

not be absolutely perfect but they have the performance aspect of it

finished. The cycling team have new bikes and super tight suits to help

them in their races. Tammy about those. That is something which Team

GB cycling has been good at, the technology package. -- tell me about

those. A guy, Tony, he is a former Formula 1 principal at Red Bull. He

has taken a little element of that package running into Rio. He has

done a very good job. He has managed to move the technology on at each of

the last three Olympics will study does not Keith was that they still

need to ride a bike from Dougie can still give an edge that you need. --

the last three Olympics. The Australians, the Danes, and some of

the other countries were using the Olympic technology package and

giving it a trial run and the British team were not. Also partly

explains why teams like the team Sprint have moved on so much from

the World Championships. They can suddenly roll out a little bit of

technology. It would not have gained them a second that might have gained

them half a second. Last night they won by less than a tenth. The

athletics gets under way today. What can we expect? It is a great day for

the athletics. We have our golden girl, Jessica Ennis. With that there

will be a battle between Johnson Thompson. A young girl will stop we

hope she will be battling for the medals as well. At the start of the

men's hundred metres, can David Rudy show the beating? -- Rudisha. It is

incredible. It seems to be with Katherine Grainger and Rudisha

Pavey, these 40-year-old athletes are doing really well, aren't they?

I know. I could have kept it going. It is a great inspiration for

people. To see them come to their peak almost, towards when most

people would expect them to be finishing is brilliant to see. What

do you think would happen in the showdown between Jess and Katerina?

Money would be very safe with Jess Ennis. Of course, she has been now

for many years and knows how to perform at the top level. When you

get to be the big games, it is about composure. You have to be able to go

through those steps. They have seven disciplines and three of those start

today. Katarina Thompson Johnson, what she has to her advantage, she

had an unsuccessful World Championship last year. If she can

take that out of her head and start this afresh, I can see her going for

her best. Anything can happen in the heptathlon. Do you think Mo Farah

will do the double again? If anyone can do it, it is probably him. He

seems to be unbeatable. Let's see. The 1500 metres women starts today,

later tonight. Laura meal and Laura Weightman Art in that race. Laura

Mill just beat my British record. She starts in the heats. What have

the highlights being view? How does Rio compare with other Olympic games

you have been involved in? Having been behind the scenes in Beijing,

London, and, of course, now in Rio, nothing will ever top London. Rio is

different. They have had issues when you get into the stadium, the same

excitement. Brazil are there in force will submit is almost like the

Brazilians are treating every event like a football match. -- in force.

It is almost like. That is lovely to see. I was at the beach wobble

yesterday and I could not believe the atmosphere. Not as much going on

around the stadium but it is building momentum. I think it will

still be as successful as most others, and especially of course for

Team GB. If you had to pick out three highlights over the weekend,

what would it be? I think, for me, athletics is starting. That is my

sport. Super Saturday is coming. Can we replicate it from last time

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

should go and win his first gold. If Jess Ennis pulled it off, it would

be a fantastic day. I liked all the sports are going to see today

Heather standing and Heather Glover. Many other sports will. I do not

have time to list them all. I'm looking for everything to start. The

triathlon is on my favourites. That starts on 18th, the 19th. Looking

forward to the events. Today, like you say, I am off to be rowing and

the cycling track later on where I am sure we will bring in some more

golds. The answer to that is, there are not three highlights, watch

everything. We set our predictions. UK sport set the 48, 49 square being

the best way Games. I think that was under estimating I think we should

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

only on day seven. Watch out for Team GB excavation mark thank you

for joining us. -- Team GB! There's a warning this morning

about the dangers of unlicensed tattooists targeting young people

with low prices and DIY tattoo kits. Are we facing strike action by

junior doctors in dispute over a new contract? Hugh is here with me. What

is the latest? It all began to develop last night on social media.

The junior doctors committee of the British Medical Association wants

the possibility of further industrial action. Just to wind back

on this very long saga, a series of one-day and two-day strikes at

hospitals in England. Then there was a deal between the Government and

the BMA have renewed junior doctors contract for England. The BMA

leaders went out to sell it to members. They rejected it will stop

58% voted against in July. Now the junior doctors have had more

meetings and they say they want more industrial action because the

Government has not engaged with them over their outstanding concerns.

This has to go to the full council of the BMA, who have to decide

whether to authorise it or not. Some members of the council might feel

they do not want to go down this route again. Junior doctors seem

fired up again and seem ready to take further industrial action, what

they call escalated action from September.

Kenny said the triumph felt all the sweeter

The Kiwis went very fast in the semifinal, an Olympic record,

to bits, to be honest, but they didn't, and yet we went out

and beat them and I'm very proud and happy.

At least four people have been killed and dozens wounded

Well, they continue to be difficult days for Labour.

A war of words between the leader and his deputy, a battle

in the courts about whether members should or should not have the right

Jeremy Corbyn was only elected leader of the Labour Party

in September last year, how on earth is he already fighting

To remind us of Labour's story here's our reporter Jim Reed.

Just a warning this short film does contain some flash photography.

43 days into the results of Labour's leadership election, the decision,

keep Jeremy Corbyn as leader or switch to Owen Smith? This started

in September 2015 with the last leadership election, Jeremy Corbyn

surprised everyone, beginning as the 100-1 outsider, he ended up by

winning by a huge amount. Things will change. He had the support of

Labour Party members drawing large crowds up and down the country, but

he never really had the widespread support of Labour MPs, many

disagreed with his policies, like his decision to vote against air

strikes in Syria. Will you allow MPs a free vote? He completed his first

reshuffle, but three Shadow ministers resigned in protest. It is

honourable for me to leave the front bench. Ken Livingstone was suspended

from the Labour Party after comments he made about Hitler and the state

of Israel, an inquiry was launched into anti-Semitism in the party. We

were getting predictions that Labour was going to lose councils but we

didn't. We have hung on and grow support. In local council elections

Labour did better-than-expected antiparty won the mayoral elections

in Bristol and London -- and the party. Britain has spoken and the

answer is, we wrap. Many felt Jeremy Corbyn's support for remaining in

the EU was half-hearted. 40 shadow ministers resigned and there was a

motion of no-confidence the party leader. I've served in the best way

I can, but today I had to leave. It is thought Jeremy Corbyn retains the

support of many grassroots members, including a large number who have

joined the party more recently. It is not that Jeremy Corbyn is out of

touch, it is that the Labour MPs are out of touch with the Labour Party.

Owen Smith has challenged Jeremy Corbyn and both men are competing

for votes with a final decision expected on the 24th of September.

Let's speak now to a mix of Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith

supporters including MPs and members of the public.

Labour MP Kate Green is backing Owen Smith whilst

Andy McDonald, also a Labour MP, is backing Jeremy Corbyn.

We also speak to members of the public - Graham Smith

who is 61 and a salesman and is supporting Owen Smith.

Julia Brosnan who is 51 and a co-director of a social

enterprise is supporting Jeremy Corbyn.

With us in the studio is Simon Hudson, who joined

the Labour Party specifically so he could vote

Jeremy Corbyn out and Barbara Ntumy who is a Jeremy Corbyn supporter.

Meanwhile John Paul Ennis, who is 19, is a committed Labour

supporter but is undecided as to who to vote for in Labour's

leadership election as he feels both candidates are weak.

Kate Green first. What did you make of last night's performances? There

was a real contrast between Jeremy who has big ideas but no plans to

put them into practice, and specific from Owen Smith about how he would

mend the economy and how he would invest in the NHS and how he would

deal with the biggest political challenge of our time, negotiations

around leaving the European Union. Dividing lines which show Owen Smith

offering solutions and leadership, but Jeremy is talking in slogans and

platitudes. Jeremy Hunt most of the support at the hustings, he was

being cheered. -- Jeremy had. I was shocked to hear Labour Party members

heckling when reasoned, thoughtful careful debate was taking place,

that is not the way we treat each other, we treat each other with

respect in our party and I think we have got to understand that there

are many people in the Labour Party, many members, who are concerned at

the way divisions and hostility and intimidation is opening up between

members, it has got to stop. The lead for stopping that matter has

got to come from the leader. You blame Jeremy Corbyn for that? I

don't blame him for other people's behaviour but it is the

responsibility of leader to call out that kind of bad behaviour and made

it clear he will not tolerate it and only if he speaks can we be

confident that people will listen and it will stop. Andy McDonald

next, what did you think of last night? Two very good performances

but I don't know if anyone's mind was changed in viewing the

proceedings, and I think Jeremy started the evening well ahead and

he remains well ahead. I don't think anything has changed. His leadership

qualities have been criticised. What is the point of having many members

if you have little chance of winning a general election? His leadership

style is different to the leadership styles we have had in the past but

my goodness, we have seen the build-up of a huge movement, 550,000

members of the Labour Party now, the largest social democratic movement

in Europe, there is an appetite to embrace the agenda that Jeremy is

offering and I think it is there in the community and is being embraced

by people from all walks of life and I'm saddened that people who have

embraced this agenda are being dogged by terrible names, leftist,

Trotskyist, it doesn't help. The name-calling, has got to stop, from

where ever it comes, we need to be more respectful and comradely

towards each other. I'm shocked at how some elements of the debate had

degenerated and that has got to change and we have got to be more

courteous and civil to each other. Graham Smith, what do you think

about what you have heard? We have witnessed the Civil War in the Tory

party, with all the leading members fighting against one another, and

yet we are 14 points behind, we should be 14 points ahead. We have

no leadership. Jeremy Corbyn has managed to divide the party. The

Parliamentary Labour Party does not follow his lead. They have put a

vote of no confidence down. Owen Smith can unite the party and he can

lead us forward and I underline the word lead, Jeremy Corbyn is not a

leader, he is a critic. He is a leader, but what do you say to

people who say, look at the Labour membership, it has increased because

of him? Is that because of him? Some of the people who are joining the

Labour Party, I don't think they really belong there. I think they

would be better off somewhere else. I doubt him. We have got to appeal

to the voting public and we have got to win a majority in the House of

Commons, and Jeremy Corbyn cannot provide that, he cannot even get the

support of the Labour Party in the House of Commons. Simon, what you

think about that, Jeremy Corbyn can't get the support of MPs and he

can't win a general election? That is like the problem is division and

the solution is unity and that is what I look for in a leader, someone

to unite. The qualities of that, passion, taking responsibility and

that is what I see it in Owen Smith. I do not see that in Jeremy Corbyn.

Have you always have that conclusion? In the last year, I have

seen us falling behind in the polls, and I want to see this party in

power, that is why nothing is going to happen unless we win power and

the lead is so important. To get unity in the Parliamentary party is

essential and I find it amazing that is not the first thing people think

about. The Labour Party has been described as having a civil war, how

damaging is that? Very damaging. We are seen as the new nasty party,

this is a disgrace, this is a party about comradeship and inclusivity

and the leadership mirrors that and I believe Owen Smith will do that.

John, you are undecided, why? Basically, we have seen Jeremy

Corbyn's leadership is questionable in the last year, the anti-Semitism

row and the fact that in the Shadow Cabinet, they have resigned. But I

don't really know if Owen Smith is the man that represents me, but...

Why not? I don't agree with many of his ideas, in the referendum result

Jeremy Corbyn was much more positive about it yesterday, but Owen Smith

was in denial and he said we need a second referendum. Jeremy Corbyn

said we have at the result and we need to go with it will stop yes. --

yes. Who did you support a year ago? I did not vote for Jeremy Corbyn.

What do you think? Jeremy Corbyn has got to take responsibility, but if

we look further back, this is not happening in a vacuum. We look at Ed

Miliband, and if you look at the data, which I do because I'm a

politics student, Ed Miliband consistently lost support and if we

follow that trajectory we will be much worse than we are under Jeremy

Corbyn. There is a difference of politics, there really is, and the

reason why we are in this place is because people who have disagreed

with Jeremy have decided to force this leadership election and so when

we talk about unity, who is the unity candidate? The leadership

candidate has been forced on us. We might not agree 100% but we should

think about ways in which we can work together in order for Labour to

win power. This is the problem. He has sought to work with people, but

they have forced us into this thing we are in now, rather than taking

the fight to the Tories. What is the appeal of Jeremy Corbyn?

In 2012, when Theresa May revoked the licence and threaten to deport

international students, Jeremy Corbyn was with us in the streets,

fighting for those students to be able to stay. He says what he says

and will do what he says. He has brought so many people into the

Labour Party. It is vibrant and exciting. People who agree and

disagree, there was no shouting or heckling. I was really disappointed.

I felt intimidated going into that meeting. That is not OK. Even if

500,000 people do not go out there, at least half those people, we are

the people who will go out, not on the door and get these people to

vote the Labour Party into power. That is really important. What do

you say to people who say he is a bad leader? You might agree with his

policies but he will not be elected. He will be elected. We had to force

people to elect him. People need to get on board. He has been elected

leader. He is likely to be elected again. There is a mandate. People

are causing this frustrating time we're in. People need to get behind

him and make suggestions about what he could be doing and should be

doing better. Make no suggestions to lead the party forward. Just because

you are not behind him does not mean we have to destroy the whole party.

I do not think that Jeremy has brought division. It has or has been

his politics. Because he is a leader, people do not want to

support him even though they have a difference. This is why we do not

have unity in the party. Not because of Jeremy but others who are not

willing to put that aside. Let me look at ways in which I can work

with them in order to get Labour into power. I will read out some

messages that have come in. Jeremy has reenergised the electorate. This

text. Jeremy Corbyn is more like a union rep. We doesn't have what it

takes to run the country. An e-mail from Audrey does this man is not a

leader that MPs want to follow. I was just about but joined the Labour

Party because of Jeremy Corbyn. At last, someone who speaks for me. He

can win. Keep them coming in. Let us know what you think. I want to hear

from Jullien next. You have heard everyone else's opinions. I agree

with Barbara. It is really the others, the challengers, who have

brought about these divisions. Not Jeremy Corbyn. If Owen Smith

believes in the policies of Jeremy Corbyn so much, why does he not work

with him? Owen Smith did not vote for Jeremy Corbyn in the leadership

elections when they were happening last year. What it looks like to me

is he is a very opportunist politician, very polished. He gave a

good performance last night. It seems to me, he has seen the

territory that Jeremy Corbyn has, all the support he has an now,

suddenly, he is a massive socialist and is moving in on those policies.

It does not fit with his background. Whatever you can say about Jeremy

Corbyn, he has stayed true. He has championed very unpopular policies

and very unpopular causes because he believes in them. What has happened

is people have made. Now a lot of people are agreeing with Jeremy

Corbyn and are behind him and it looks like Owen Smith is moving in

on his territory. What do you think about far left figures who want to

join Labour is Jeremy Corbyn is elected? The far left, such as they

are, would be very pleased to hear they think they have thousands and

thousands of members. If anyone has been to a far left meteor knows

anyone on the far left, it is by people in the room. It is lucky if

they get 25. There are not thousands of people. Where are they? We have

not seen them it is a myth. In terms of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, he

has been insulted, spat upon from all sides. All the establishment and

the media and his own party. He has shown leadership qualities in his

resilience and bravery in standing up to that. Want to get a response

from Kate Green. Last night, Owen was being booed by party members,

not Jeremy. We all need to treat each other with respect in this

contest. I also think what is really important, this argument is not

about policies and politics, it is about confidence. We need to take on

the Tories who are doing immense damage to communities families and

the country. Jamie is failing to do that. He is letting the Tories get

away with it. He is allowing the NHS to descend into crisis there is

money running out without laying a finger on Jeremy Hunter and Theresa

May to do with thing about it. Jeremy is not delivering that. MPs

fill depressed at the lack of leadership. It is not an argument

about politics. It is an argument about being able to do the job.

Jeremy cannot do and Owen can and well. It is not just about one

person. People have to get behind a leader. We have ran out of time.

Thank you so much to all of you for joining us.

There's a warning this morning about the dangers of unlicensed

tattooists targeting young people with low prices and DIY tattoo kits.

Councils across England and Wales have cracked down.

Prosecuting a spate of unlicensed tattooists, seizing thousands

It is illegal to tattoo someone else without a license and you have to be

Two people concerned by this are Miles Chaperlin,

known as Miles Better in the tattoo world.

And, Peter Fleming is the Deputy Chairman at the Local Government

The LGA represents English and Welsh councils responsible

Thank you for joining us. Why are you issuing this warning now? A

couple of reasons. The first is to allow people to understand the

really serious health implications of having a home or illegal cities.

-- tattooed. You have septicaemia, hepatitis, and potentially HIV. Any

blood-borne disease. Your opening yourself up when you're going to an

unlicensed, unregulated tattooist. What are you doing about making sure

you are cracking down on unlicensed tattooists? Councils do licensed

tattooists and make regular checks of licensed tattooed emporiums. I

think, what we do is, we are seeing an increase both on social media of

people advertising unlicensed tattooists. We are using that. Also,

interestingly, people come to trading standards and say, I have

had this tattoo done which is infected or not what I wanted. When

we investigate that, we suddenly find it was not done by a licensed

tattooists. It was done in a shed or the kitchen. That is one of the

issues we are trying to raise today. Also the unbelievable low prices and

ease of being able to buy these kits online. Do you get people coming to

with bad that ooze? -- tattoos. It happens every week. People coming in

with a bad tattoo. It is an issue of three things, I think. A health

issue, as Pete was saying, and a moral issue. Children who are 16 to

17-year-olds, can get hold of tattoo equipment online and the aesthetic

issue. People do not know what they are doing the years of experience

has taught me, what is the right thing to do into doing? What will
