:00:00. > :00:08.It's Friday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Chloe Tilley in for Victoria -

:00:09. > :00:19.And 'lightning Bolt' is still the fastest man

:00:20. > :00:22.Jamaica's Usain Bolt is now just one final away

:00:23. > :00:24.from the "triple triple" - three golds from three

:00:25. > :00:36.I am getting older, I am not as young and fresh but it is just one

:00:37. > :00:37.of those things. I am excited that I got the gold medal. That is the key

:00:38. > :00:40.thing. Jade Jones retains her

:00:41. > :00:51.Olympic Taekwondo title. I am Mark Cavendish back in London

:00:52. > :00:52.with my silver medal to talk about what it is like to represent Team

:00:53. > :00:56.GB. John O'Neill, the man who has been

:00:57. > :01:00.ordered to give police 24 hours notice before he has sex,

:01:01. > :01:03.talks to us exclusively about why he's been reduced to living

:01:04. > :01:11.in the woods and whether the ban It is not as much of a culture shock

:01:12. > :01:14.for me as it might be to somebody else. I have no control over what

:01:15. > :01:22.happens and I am not optimistic. We also want to hear from you this

:01:23. > :01:31.morning if you let your children Or maybe you would never

:01:32. > :01:35.encourage your under-age Do get in touch on all the stories

:01:36. > :01:46.we're talking about this morning. Use the hashtag Victoria live

:01:47. > :01:48.and remember, if you text, you will be charged

:01:49. > :01:50.at the standard network rate. Let's get the latest

:01:51. > :01:55.on the Olympics. Quite frankly, did we have any doubt

:01:56. > :02:01.at all that Usain Bolt was going to do this? Well, you would not bet

:02:02. > :02:05.against them. We really have to tip our hats to Usain Bolt. Another

:02:06. > :02:11.incredible performance for him. We may never see an athlete like Usain

:02:12. > :02:15.Bolt again. He won the 200 metres in 19.78 seconds, meaning he is the

:02:16. > :02:19.first person to win Olympic gold over 100 and 200 metres at three

:02:20. > :02:23.straight Olympics. The 29-year-old says that maybe his final race of

:02:24. > :02:30.the distance. If Jamaica when the relay tomorrow morning, he will

:02:31. > :02:34.record an unprecedented treble trouble, meaning his ninth Olympic

:02:35. > :02:39.gold medal. He has won every Olympic final he has appeared in. Spare a

:02:40. > :02:44.thought for Adam Gemili, also in that race and who finished fourth.

:02:45. > :02:50.He missed out on a bronze medal by two thousandths of a second. He said

:02:51. > :02:54.he was gutted after words, having gone all the way through four years

:02:55. > :02:58.of training, to miss out by such a small margin. By contrast those

:02:59. > :03:04.emotions with those of Jade Jones, another Olympic tae kwon do gold

:03:05. > :03:08.medal for her. It came in the under 57 kilograms category. A superb

:03:09. > :03:16.display. She beat her biggest rival in a tough final. But the

:03:17. > :03:20.23-year-old took it 16-7. Two head kicks in the final round sealing the

:03:21. > :03:24.gold medal. She is only the third British e-mail to retain an

:03:25. > :03:32.individual title after Charlotte Dujardin and Laura Trott. Let's hear

:03:33. > :03:38.what she had to say. I didn't actually realise how much pressure

:03:39. > :03:42.it would be. Until today, I thought, it is a lot of pressure. I put

:03:43. > :03:46.pressure on myself. I know I am the best but in tae kwon do it does not

:03:47. > :03:52.always work like that. I wanted to win so much. I have trained so hard

:03:53. > :03:57.for four years. I just wanted to win and to finally do it was amazing.

:03:58. > :04:01.And it was not just Jade Jones, you can always rely on the Brownlee

:04:02. > :04:08.brothers. A fantastic performance from them. They were very close on

:04:09. > :04:14.the swim and the bike but Alistair pulled away during the running. He

:04:15. > :04:18.was able to walk over the line, in fact. And he shared a moment of

:04:19. > :04:24.congratulation, but also exhaustion, as you can see, with his younger

:04:25. > :04:30.brother, after the finish line. Let's hear what they had to say

:04:31. > :04:34.after their amazing 1-2. This year, training has been so hard. I have

:04:35. > :04:39.finished so many sessions basically trying to keep up with Johnny. I

:04:40. > :04:44.have hardly been able to sleep at night because my legs hurt so much.

:04:45. > :04:47.And then getting up the next morning, dragging myself out of bed

:04:48. > :04:53.and doing it all over again. Does he always complain? I love it, it is

:04:54. > :04:58.what I love doing. A third gold for Team GB 24 hours later in the

:04:59. > :05:04.ceiling. Anna Mills and Saskia Clark, they had to wait an extra day

:05:05. > :05:08.because there was no wind on the lagoon. But the moment came and they

:05:09. > :05:13.relished it. All they had to do was finish their race in the 470 sailing

:05:14. > :05:18.class. They improved on their second-place four years ago at

:05:19. > :05:23.London. Add that to a silver for John Scofield, and a first badminton

:05:24. > :05:29.medal in the men's doubles for Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge.

:05:30. > :05:33.More to come, what to look forward to. The women's hockey team will go

:05:34. > :05:37.for gold, taking on the double defending champions, the

:05:38. > :05:42.Netherlands, in the final. It starts at nine o'clock this evening. That

:05:43. > :05:46.will be on BBC One in full, the first Olympic final for the women.

:05:47. > :05:51.They looked in strong form as they beat New Zealand in the semifinal.

:05:52. > :05:56.And Nicola Adams could become the first British boxer to retain an

:05:57. > :05:59.Olympic title for 92 years. She will go in the final of the women's

:06:00. > :06:03.flyweight competition, either gold or silver for her. That fight will

:06:04. > :06:09.be on Saturday evening so fingers crossed that Team GB do well over

:06:10. > :06:15.the next few days. And we will be talking about Nicola Adams over the

:06:16. > :06:17.next half-hour. Let's get a summary of the day 's news.

:06:18. > :06:20.A boy has died after being bitten by a dog in Halstead,

:06:21. > :06:24.A 29-year-old woman has been arrested for allowing a dog to be

:06:25. > :06:33.The United States Olympic Committee has apologised to the organisers

:06:34. > :06:35.of the Rio Olympics, and the people of Brazil,

:06:36. > :06:37.for the behaviour of a group of swimmers.

:06:38. > :06:40.The four, who include the gold medallist Ryan Lochte,

:06:41. > :06:43.Brazilian police say they lied to cover up

:06:44. > :06:53.Gold-medal winners leaving the Games in disgrace.

:06:54. > :06:55.Swimmers Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger were questioned

:06:56. > :07:00.for four hours over charges that they and two teammates

:07:01. > :07:02.vandalised a petrol station and then falsely claimed they had

:07:03. > :07:07.At a Games when crimes against athletes have caused

:07:08. > :07:10.concern, the fake story has made people in Rio angry.

:07:11. > :07:22.It was this man, Ryan Lochte, seen here winning gold for the US

:07:23. > :07:24.200 metres relay team, who claimed they had been mugged

:07:25. > :07:26.by robbers posing as police officers.

:07:27. > :07:28.But the story unravelled when police studied CCTV pictures.

:07:29. > :07:34.What really happened, they said, was that a drunk Ryan Lochte

:07:35. > :07:37.and three others stopped to use the toilet at a petrol station

:07:38. > :07:39.but when it was closed they lost their temper, smashed

:07:40. > :07:46.A security guard then pulled a gun on them and told them to calm down

:07:47. > :07:53.Footage from the athletes' village saw them returning in good spirits

:07:54. > :08:07.Team USA has released a statement saying:

:08:08. > :08:10.Lochte returned to the US on Monday where reaction has been

:08:11. > :08:22.and threatens to overshadow all his achievements in the water.

:08:23. > :08:24.A senior member of the International Olympic Committee, Patrick Hickey,

:08:25. > :08:26.has temporarily stepped down after being arrested in Brazil over

:08:27. > :08:29.the suspected illegal sale of tickets for the Rio Games.

:08:30. > :08:32.Mr Hickey, who's from Ireland, has also stepped aside from his role

:08:33. > :08:35.as president of the European Olympic Committees.

:08:36. > :08:37.Brazilian police claim he was involved in a scheme

:08:38. > :08:40.to pass tickets to touts, who sold them at inflated prices

:08:41. > :08:56.Yesterday we heard calls for a post Rio Olympic Games in Britain.

:08:57. > :09:01.Support is growing and Sadiq Khan says he is keen for a parade to take

:09:02. > :09:06.place. You will be speaking to the government and Olympic sports chiefs

:09:07. > :09:07.to find the best way of celebrating the achievements of British

:09:08. > :09:09.competitors. A man under a court order to tell

:09:10. > :09:12.police 24 hours before he has sexual contact with anyone for the first

:09:13. > :09:15.time, will today find out if the legal direction will be

:09:16. > :09:20.extended for up to five years. John O'Neill, from York,

:09:21. > :09:23.was cleared of rape last year, but North Yorkshire Police asked

:09:24. > :09:25.a judge to impose an interim Mr O'Neill says it is

:09:26. > :09:29.so wide-ranging that he is unable A district judge at York Magistrates

:09:30. > :09:33.will now decide whether to lift The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn,

:09:34. > :09:40.has declined to say if he would give military support to a fellow NATO

:09:41. > :09:42.country if it were In the latest leadership debate

:09:43. > :09:46.with rival Owen Smith, Mr Corbyn said he wanted a world

:09:47. > :09:49.where there is "no need" to go to war - he also emphasised the

:09:50. > :09:52.importance of diplomatic solutions. Owen Smith said the NATO treaty

:09:53. > :09:54.requires all members Half of parents with children under

:09:55. > :10:00.the age of 14 allow them to drink alcohol at home,

:10:01. > :10:03.according to a new survey. The research, by a leading insurance

:10:04. > :10:06.company, spoke to more than 1,000 people and found that many of them

:10:07. > :10:09.were ignoring medical advice. It also found that a third

:10:10. > :10:12.of parents with children under 14 used alcohol as a bribe

:10:13. > :10:20.to encourage good behaviour. The UN has finally acknowledged

:10:21. > :10:26.that it contributed to a cholera outbreak in Haiti in 2010 that

:10:27. > :10:29.killed around 10,000 people. The United Nations had always denied

:10:30. > :10:32.any responsibility for the epidemic, despite scientific studies

:10:33. > :10:34.repeatedly showing that Nepalese UN troops were the source

:10:35. > :10:36.of the disease. However it still says it's protected

:10:37. > :10:39.by diplomatic immunity from claims for compensation

:10:40. > :10:45.from victims' families. The International Paralympic

:10:46. > :10:47.Committee will reveal more details later about the financial problems

:10:48. > :10:57.facing the Games. Overnight, Brazil's President's

:10:58. > :10:59.Chief of Staff said funding for the Paralympics in Rio

:11:00. > :11:01.would be guaranteed. Our disability correspondent

:11:02. > :11:04.Nikki Fox reports. In just 19 days, the Paralympics

:11:05. > :11:07.will get under way in Rio. But instead of excitement,

:11:08. > :11:10.there is uncertainty. Vital travel grants have not yet

:11:11. > :11:13.been paid to athletes around the world, putting some

:11:14. > :11:15.countries at real risk of not I don't think the IPC has ever faced

:11:16. > :11:24.this situation in the 56 year history of the Paralympic Games,

:11:25. > :11:28.especially with 19 days to go. Even with additional funding

:11:29. > :11:32.that we have been promised, we will still have to look

:11:33. > :11:35.at how we can make cuts. A court order that prevented more

:11:36. > :11:37.public money being spent on the Paralympics

:11:38. > :11:39.has now been lifted. However, that injection

:11:40. > :11:45.of ?56 million is still not enough. We've worked just as hard

:11:46. > :11:49.as the Olympians for the same British athletes like

:11:50. > :11:53.Jordanne Whiley aren't worried about getting to the Games,

:11:54. > :11:56.it's what happens or doesn't happen When I get to Rio, I want to be able

:11:57. > :12:04.to play against everyone that has qualified and I think

:12:05. > :12:06.if people didn't go, if nations didn't go,

:12:07. > :12:10.I think the nobility of the Games The Olympics haven't

:12:11. > :12:19.exactly been a sell-out. But with ticket sales

:12:20. > :12:21.for the Paralympics at just 12%, it's looking like we might be seeing

:12:22. > :12:29.even more empty seats. Around a hundred water voles

:12:30. > :12:33.are being released into the wild They were once commonly found

:12:34. > :12:37.in the British countryside, but are now one of our

:12:38. > :12:39.most endangered species. Ecologists from the National Trust

:12:40. > :12:42.will release the rare mammals into the waters of Malham Tarn,

:12:43. > :12:49.England's highest freshwater lake. That's a summary of the latest BBC

:12:50. > :12:58.News - more at 9.30. So another amazing day at Rio

:12:59. > :13:01.and over the next two hours we'll have plenty of reaction

:13:02. > :13:03.to Usain Bolt's latest win and the continued

:13:04. > :13:08.success of Team GB. As we've been hearing, our tally

:13:09. > :13:11.of gold medals now stands at 22, thanks to Jade Jones's

:13:12. > :13:13.win in Taekwondo. We'll also be speaking to former

:13:14. > :13:21.Olympians Diane Modahl and Derek Before that we're going to hear

:13:22. > :13:24.from Mark Cavendish. Here's a reminder of the moment

:13:25. > :13:35.he finally won an Olympic medal Mark Cavendish scoops up the final

:13:36. > :13:42.point on offer which makes sure that he has the silver medal for Great

:13:43. > :13:46.Britain. After all the effort and after all the Olympic heartache,

:13:47. > :13:47.Mark Cavendish as an Olympic medal. It is a silver one and it is a

:13:48. > :14:19.richly deserve one. Mark Cavendish! So, congratulations first of all and

:14:20. > :14:22.welcome back. Relief, happiness, how are you feeling about that amazing

:14:23. > :14:29.silver medal? I am really happy with that. It is my third Olympics and I

:14:30. > :14:33.have finally got a medal. It took a lot. I was talking yesterday and it

:14:34. > :14:38.was hard to believe that just a few weeks ago I was writing in the to

:14:39. > :14:43.France, and then it completely changed and I was in the velodrome,

:14:44. > :14:48.competing in the Olympics. It is so different, in just a couple of

:14:49. > :14:53.weeks. Representing Great Britain is such an honour. And the Olympics is

:14:54. > :14:59.the biggest thing, the best way to do that. To come away with a medal,

:15:00. > :15:03.following the success of the Hall of Team GB this year, it is quite an

:15:04. > :15:05.honour. How difficult is it to go from the likes of the tour to France

:15:06. > :15:14.to the velodrome? Although it is all bikes, it's a bit

:15:15. > :15:19.like saying Andy Murray would go and play squash, it's a racket sport but

:15:20. > :15:22.it's not the same. We are on bicycles but it's even different

:15:23. > :15:29.muscles you are using. It was hard to do but I've kind of been working

:15:30. > :15:33.towards it for two years, training, I'm a professional road rider, and

:15:34. > :15:37.that's my day job. And just in between that trying to keep the

:15:38. > :15:42.velodrome going with a chance of winning at the Olympics. It was hard

:15:43. > :15:46.to do but worth it in the end. Did you put a lot of pressure on

:15:47. > :15:50.yourself ahead of this? It was the one medal you didn't have, and

:15:51. > :15:55.you've been to these other games. Do you put pressure on yourself or can

:15:56. > :16:00.you separate it? I actually do put pressure on myself but I thrive off

:16:01. > :16:05.that. I have the best group of people around me. My family has been

:16:06. > :16:09.massively important. My wife has pretty much been a single mum with

:16:10. > :16:13.three kids while I've been away. The guys at British cycling to let me

:16:14. > :16:16.come in and put the timing to me when I don't live in Manchester

:16:17. > :16:22.where the British team is based, I had to go over there to drop in, and

:16:23. > :16:26.they gave the time up to help me and that the re-sources behind it, as

:16:27. > :16:31.they did with everybody. But I'm very fortunate to be in that

:16:32. > :16:36.position, and that made it easier for me to do this, really. And we've

:16:37. > :16:41.got to talk about the crash. You know we've got to talk about the

:16:42. > :16:45.crash. Everybody has been talking about it. I know you apologise to

:16:46. > :16:49.one of the riders you took out. Talk us through, presumably you had no

:16:50. > :16:53.idea what was going on? You don't know what was going on. At the end

:16:54. > :16:56.of the day you will not intentionally crash. I'm a

:16:57. > :17:01.professional bike rider, I know what it is like to crash. I would not put

:17:02. > :17:06.somebody in danger, especially somebody I like, a good bike ride.

:17:07. > :17:10.He wasn't in a medal position, it would have no bearing if I did

:17:11. > :17:13.something to him anyway. But yeah, I spoke to him and he was all right

:17:14. > :17:20.about it. I'm glad he's all right, really. Obviously I get asked

:17:21. > :17:25.questions. It was a basic mistake on my part, it was my fault. But it was

:17:26. > :17:29.a mistake that unfortunately happens in cycling. And those bikes can go

:17:30. > :17:34.pretty easily. We've seen clips throughout the games. The thing is

:17:35. > :17:39.you got no breaks, you've got one gear, you can't stop pedalling. And

:17:40. > :17:44.you don't have a run-off like you do in the road. So you are overlapping

:17:45. > :17:47.a bit and there's not really anything to go on, and because you

:17:48. > :17:52.are going round in circles, constantly looking behind, so yeah,

:17:53. > :17:58.things happen in a split second, really. GB cycling has been

:17:59. > :18:02.fantastic for years now, and it's the one thing we go into the games

:18:03. > :18:09.and say, yeah, we're going to get some gold and silver is here. But

:18:10. > :18:13.every member of Team GB cycling team has won a medal at these games which

:18:14. > :18:16.has been incredible, and there has been some sour grapes from other

:18:17. > :18:20.nations. That again has been blown out of proportion, it's the

:18:21. > :18:26.Olympics, you are going to make big stories about it. I think every

:18:27. > :18:33.member won either gold or silver. Which is incredible. It shows the

:18:34. > :18:37.strength. A lot of people question how we pick it up for the Olympics

:18:38. > :18:42.top white that's what Anna Mears was saying. She says, we all scratch our

:18:43. > :18:47.heads saying, how do they left it in so many events when they haven't

:18:48. > :18:49.even been in contention in the World Championships? The Olympics come

:18:50. > :18:55.along, I'm not exactly sure how they've got it together. I don't

:18:56. > :19:00.really think she's insinuating anything. She's not insinuating you

:19:01. > :19:02.are on drugs or cheating or anything, but is it literally that

:19:03. > :19:07.you care about nothing but the games? Absolutely. We have a plan

:19:08. > :19:14.for every four years. It's what we are funded for. And although the

:19:15. > :19:18.World Championships is important, I think other nations put the emphasis

:19:19. > :19:24.as much as the Olympic Games, GB does. We have the world track

:19:25. > :19:29.Championships in March this year, at home in London, so it was a big

:19:30. > :19:33.World Championships for us, but we use our second-rate equipment, we

:19:34. > :19:39.use our second-rate clothing. Even stuff that is eight years old, stuff

:19:40. > :19:44.we were using before Beijing. And why, to keep the really good stuff

:19:45. > :19:48.of the games? Xavier, if we learn to compete with the separate equipment

:19:49. > :19:54.-- exactly, if we learn to compete with that equipment, and then we go

:19:55. > :19:58.to the Olympic Games and all of a sudden we are peaking. There's a lot

:19:59. > :20:02.of stuff about, should I go to the Olympics because I was only six in

:20:03. > :20:06.the Omni at the World Championships. I said since January, I can't win

:20:07. > :20:10.the world, but I can win the Olympics, it's in August. That's

:20:11. > :20:14.what we do as a nation in cycling, we peak for August every four years.

:20:15. > :20:23.Is it true those shoes cost thousands of pounds? Yeah, I don't

:20:24. > :20:29.know, really. I'm with Nike anyway. Good plug. I was talking to you just

:20:30. > :20:33.before we came in, you are competing this weekend? Supposed to be racing

:20:34. > :20:38.in Germany. I heard yesterday I might not be going but I flew back

:20:39. > :20:41.because it is back to the day job. Could you do another four-year

:20:42. > :20:47.cycle? Are you saying you'd be looking at going to Tokyo? I race

:20:48. > :20:50.from January to November every year anyway, professional road cyclists,

:20:51. > :20:57.it's kind of like football, we have a season. I have two more years of

:20:58. > :21:02.contract with my team, so I will be going at least two more years. One

:21:03. > :21:05.thing I cannot do is balance road and track again. I don't know if the

:21:06. > :21:12.road race would suit me in Tokyo, probably not. But then if I'm still

:21:13. > :21:18.competing as a professional on the road it might be difficult. It took

:21:19. > :21:23.a lot of energy to do it. And let's talk about Rio, I was fortunate

:21:24. > :21:29.enough to be there, and incredible place. Always difficult to compare

:21:30. > :21:37.to London because of home games, but what did you make of the whole

:21:38. > :21:40.atmosphere there? After London, in the city will have a hard job

:21:41. > :21:47.matching that and it will always be compared, unfortunately. And it was

:21:48. > :21:51.not as well-organised as London. But one thing we were looking at, the

:21:52. > :21:58.POA, they really looked after the British athletes. It was really

:21:59. > :22:02.comfortable for us. And when you are living in that bubble you don't

:22:03. > :22:08.really see anything else. I didn't see much more of Rio. It was a bit

:22:09. > :22:13.hard getting into the Olympic Park. Nobody really knew what was going

:22:14. > :22:17.on. It took us a week to find out how to get to the velodrome. We go

:22:18. > :22:21.to the pedestrian entrance and they'd say, you can't come in,

:22:22. > :22:26.you've got bikes, so we would go to the car entrance, and they said, you

:22:27. > :22:31.can't come in, you've got bikes, so you had to befriend a security

:22:32. > :22:37.guard. Is that the distraction, joking aside? It's all right. That's

:22:38. > :22:43.kind of what Latin America is about, it's just quite relaxed. I think

:22:44. > :22:49.once you get used that was OK. I had a brilliant time there. And

:22:50. > :22:52.incredibly proud thing to represent Great Britain at the Olympics. For

:22:53. > :22:56.me that was the biggest thing regardless of where I was. Did you

:22:57. > :23:02.get to see any other events? No. Didn't see anything actually. I was

:23:03. > :23:07.training for my event. There was a bit of click bait stuff going on, I

:23:08. > :23:11.did not even go to see the other track guys competing before me, but

:23:12. > :23:19.mine was one of the last track event so I have to rest up. And what about

:23:20. > :23:23.the whole of Team GB? Cycling clearly had an incredible

:23:24. > :23:26.achievement there. But also the whole team, presumably you feed off

:23:27. > :23:30.each other when you hear somebody else wins a medal? It was brilliant.

:23:31. > :23:34.We stayed in these big apartment blocks in the village. So Team GB

:23:35. > :23:40.have a whole want to themselves. They had these lifts that took ages.

:23:41. > :23:45.And by the time they come they are full of people who have been waiting

:23:46. > :23:52.ages. By the end of it we got in and even if we didn't know the athletes,

:23:53. > :23:57.we were best off saying congratulations because chances were

:23:58. > :24:01.they'd won medal anyway. I think everybody really thrived of success.

:24:02. > :24:06.Second in the medal table is phenomenal. It's incredible, isn't

:24:07. > :24:15.it? 22 gold medals. I think we are only about eight medals off the haul

:24:16. > :24:21.at London. I think the amount of different sports we have had success

:24:22. > :24:25.at as well. In terms of different sports we would be highest in the

:24:26. > :24:29.medal table as well, which is pretty impressive as well. Shows what a

:24:30. > :24:33.diverse country we are at producing the best champions in the world.

:24:34. > :24:41.Brilliant. Thanks. Thanks for having me.

:24:42. > :24:48.Lots of you getting in touch on Twitter saying all credit to an

:24:49. > :24:57.amazing athlete. The media need to celebrate him and not pick holes.

:24:58. > :25:01.Paul got in touch. Cav really down to earth, good to see. This one says

:25:02. > :25:02.Mark Cavendish is a top man and it always pays to thank his team-mates

:25:03. > :25:07.and those involved. Nicola Adams is guaranteed

:25:08. > :25:09.at least a silver medal, after reaching the final

:25:10. > :25:11.of the fly weight boxing. She's defending the title

:25:12. > :25:15.she won in 2012, when she became the first female

:25:16. > :25:18.Olympic Boxing champion. She beat a familar rival

:25:19. > :25:21.in the semi-finals, in Ren Cancan, the Chinese woman, whom she defeated

:25:22. > :25:28.to win gold at the London Games. Adams won with a unanimous points

:25:29. > :25:31.decision, and will face France's, 10-time national champion

:25:32. > :25:38.Sarah Oarrah-moo-oon, won a world title in 2015

:25:39. > :25:53.and represented GB at Great to speak to you. What do you

:25:54. > :25:57.make of Nicola? She gets so much press attention, doesn't she? She's

:25:58. > :26:02.such a role model to so many young people. Yeah, I think she's a credit

:26:03. > :26:09.to the sport. She's really put her name on the map. And it just gives

:26:10. > :26:12.young females goals to achieve. I think that she will defend her

:26:13. > :26:17.Olympic medal. I think she's going to win gold. She's an incredible

:26:18. > :26:22.athlete and a real champion to the sports. You can see real

:26:23. > :26:25.similarities between her and Jade Jones who won tae kwon do gold

:26:26. > :26:32.yesterday. Nicola Adams hasn't turned up for anything except gold.

:26:33. > :26:37.No, I mean, she trains with the lads up at GB. She's got that winning

:26:38. > :26:44.mentality. I think that's what takes her where she is at. She's a very,

:26:45. > :26:50.very skilled boxer. She can fight on the inside. I think she's the one to

:26:51. > :26:54.beat. If anybody is going to beat heard they've got to be on their

:26:55. > :26:58.game to have a chance. It is interesting that you say that she

:26:59. > :27:02.trains with the blokes. I was reading yesterday that she says to

:27:03. > :27:04.keep herself sharp to fight other women, she enjoys fighting men

:27:05. > :27:08.because generally they are quicker and it keeps her at the top of her

:27:09. > :27:16.game. It's not only that, it's probably finding a lady that's going

:27:17. > :27:20.to push as hard as the men. I don't think there is in England, to be

:27:21. > :27:26.honest. I think that she's clearly our number one. So all our hopes are

:27:27. > :27:30.on her for the gold medal. So basically I think that she's

:27:31. > :27:35.definitely guaranteed gold. I don't want this to sound patronising, but

:27:36. > :27:39.do men find it difficult to fight against the likes of Nicola Adams?

:27:40. > :27:44.While there are lots of things, they do with her in the ring. Personally

:27:45. > :27:52.myself I wouldn't really want to get in there and two with her. But I've

:27:53. > :27:58.heard a few rumours. And that sounds like a glitch unfortunately. How

:27:59. > :28:03.frustrating. We will try to reconnect that line. I think we are

:28:04. > :28:06.going to fail to do that. We will try to reconnect. In the meantime,

:28:07. > :28:08.massive night for Usain Bolt. Usain Bolt heads for a record

:28:09. > :28:10.breaking 'triple triple' of Olympic medals -

:28:11. > :28:12.he's got his eighth Gold and is speeding to his ninth -

:28:29. > :28:44.on each side of this tricky debate. Hugh is not ready either

:28:45. > :28:49.unfortunately. Can we go to the newsroom? I don't think we can at

:28:50. > :28:53.the moment, if I'm honest we are about a minute and a half early

:28:54. > :28:57.because we were trying to speak to Billy Joe Saunders whose line has

:28:58. > :29:00.dropped for us at the moment. I would be interested to get your

:29:01. > :29:07.thoughts on drinking because there is this study which has come out

:29:08. > :29:11.which says that over half of parents in the UK allow under 14-year-olds

:29:12. > :29:15.to junk alcohol. Is that something you would allow them to do? Is it a

:29:16. > :29:23.little sip of yours or would you say no. Now we can get the early

:32:57. > :32:59.media reaction to the Olympics. Yesterday was another day

:33:00. > :33:01.where Usain Bolt dominated the agenda, completing a Rio 2016

:33:02. > :33:04.sprint double by winning the mens An achievement he took

:33:05. > :33:08.in his stride, Bolt's Jamaica team mate

:33:09. > :33:17.Yohan Blake was more effusive in his praise, tweeting that Bolt

:33:18. > :33:20.is a "true inspiration There was success for team GB

:33:21. > :33:26.as well, with Alistair Brownlee winning gold in the men's triathlon

:33:27. > :33:29.and his brother brother Jonny The brothers looked pleased as punch

:33:30. > :33:38.in the picture Alistair tweeted out, both of them holding

:33:39. > :33:39.up their medals. Their efforts won the admiration

:33:40. > :33:45.of former Olympian Victoria Pendleton, who tweeted

:33:46. > :33:47.out 'That is one Gold for Alistair Brownlee

:33:48. > :33:55.and silver for Jonny Brownlee.' The Olympics has wowed us

:33:56. > :33:57.all with feats of athleticism, but it has also brought us

:33:58. > :33:59.some lighter moments. British cycling hero Jason Kenny

:34:00. > :34:02.cause a bit of a stir when he packed his kit into a bag

:34:03. > :34:05.for life after winning gold at the men's keirin

:34:06. > :34:09.a couple of days ago. I did comment on this myself. I said

:34:10. > :34:13.is that really a bag for life? The Buzzfeed journalist

:34:14. > :34:15.Chris Applegate Tweeted that this was the most British thing

:34:16. > :34:18.he had ever seen. Alhough Belfast boxer Michael

:34:19. > :34:27.Conlan didn't manage to win a medal this week, he certainly

:34:28. > :34:29.inspired someone. A five-year-old County Dublin boy

:34:30. > :34:32.has sent a touching letter to his hero, offering him a

:34:33. > :34:36.consolation prize. Finn McManus

:34:37. > :34:38.told a devastated Conlan: "I want

:34:39. > :34:42.you to have my school medal Michael Conlan was clearly impressed

:34:43. > :34:50.by this, tweeting that the young lad, he had

:34:51. > :34:54.a gift waiting for him. So another fantastic

:34:55. > :34:58.performance from Usain Bolt. The fastest man in the world did it

:34:59. > :35:01.again, winning his second gold medal of this Olympics,

:35:02. > :35:04.and looking like he might even go Let's take a look at his

:35:05. > :35:22.Olympic highlights. Here comes Usain Bolt. Streaking

:35:23. > :35:25.away from the field. Gold for Jamaica. That is superb. It is a new

:35:26. > :35:41.world record. Usain Bolt already away. Look at the

:35:42. > :35:50.time! It is gold for Usain Bolt and a new world record. I cannot believe

:35:51. > :35:57.it. Usain Bolt has it in his hands. But it is Jamaica, one more to go.

:35:58. > :36:07.Asafa Powell, what is the time? It is a new world record! Three gold

:36:08. > :36:14.medals. Bolt quickly out of the blocks. Coming into his stride

:36:15. > :36:26.alongside Gatlin. He is going to win the gold. It is a clean start. Bolt

:36:27. > :36:33.is out of the blocks really well. Look at him go. He is going to do it

:36:34. > :36:42.again! Gold all the way. You cannot argue. Here he goes. Jamaica are the

:36:43. > :36:48.gold medallists again. And it is a new world record. Smashes it to

:36:49. > :36:54.pieces. Gatlin gets away well. A focused effort. And here comes Usain

:36:55. > :37:09.Bolt. He is going to take it. Usain Bolt gets it. 9.8 zero. What more

:37:10. > :37:13.does he have for us? Usain Bolt, on his own, as he has been throughout

:37:14. > :37:18.his career, running away from everybody, running to what he would

:37:19. > :37:23.love to be immortality as an athlete. 90.79, it is his eighth

:37:24. > :37:27.gold medal. I ran hard on the turn but when I came to the straight, my

:37:28. > :37:32.body was not responding. But I am getting older. I am not as young and

:37:33. > :37:35.fresh but it is just one of those things. I am excited that I got the

:37:36. > :37:40.gold medal and that is the main thing.

:37:41. > :37:47.Usain Bolt doing what Usain Bolt does best.

:37:48. > :37:50.Diane Modahl is one of Britain's most successful 800 metre runner,

:37:51. > :37:52.winning gold in the 1990 Commonwealth Games and competing

:37:53. > :37:55.She now runs the Diane Modahl Sports Foundation.

:37:56. > :38:00.Derek Redmond, British sprinter and World Champion

:38:01. > :38:06.has competed in two Olympic Games, is next to me.

:38:07. > :38:11.Thanks to you both for speaking to me about this incredible man. Ever

:38:12. > :38:19.in doubt? It was never in doubt. The big thing was how fast would he run.

:38:20. > :38:25.The fact that Gatlin was not there made no difference. He seemed

:38:26. > :38:29.generally frustrated -- genuinely frustrated that he did not break the

:38:30. > :38:33.record. Absolutely. He has gone there in great shape to win the

:38:34. > :38:37.three medals. The 200, it is probably his last 200 on the world

:38:38. > :38:41.stage and he felt that he was in shape to challenge the world record.

:38:42. > :38:48.The fact that he did not get close to it will be disappointing but I'm

:38:49. > :38:51.sure he will get over it. Diane, not much to criticise Usain Bolt for

:38:52. > :38:56.what some people have criticised in the past that he has sometimes just

:38:57. > :38:59.won the race and not pushed himself showboating towards the end. He

:39:00. > :39:06.really wanted that world record and he did not get it. That is possibly

:39:07. > :39:12.so spectators and fans being just a little bit greedy, I think. -- us as

:39:13. > :39:16.spectators. We're so used to him, every time he steps on the track, a

:39:17. > :39:20.miracle happens, something amazing happens. And I think he was probably

:39:21. > :39:25.frustrated, as he set himself, that he did not get the world record,

:39:26. > :39:33.although he ran the curve and he was going for it. And of course, knowing

:39:34. > :39:37.Usain Bolt, he would not want to be upstaged by the 400 metre record

:39:38. > :39:43.earlier in the week. Of course, it did not help that there was a rain

:39:44. > :39:47.shower just before he started. You mentioned the 400 metres and I

:39:48. > :39:57.wanted to bring that up. Wouldn't you love to see the two compete?

:39:58. > :40:03.Absolutely. But I do not know what Derek would say. He is the 400

:40:04. > :40:08.metres specialist. With Usain Bolt's speed at 400 metres, I think Wayde

:40:09. > :40:11.van Niekerk would struggle. If you are going to put them in the race,

:40:12. > :40:19.it would have to be 300 metres. Wayde van Niekerk, for me he is the

:40:20. > :40:25.best performance of the Olympic Games, I may be biased because it is

:40:26. > :40:31.my event but 43.03 is unbelievable. He is the only sprinter to ever run

:40:32. > :40:38.under ten seconds, 20 seconds and 44 seconds. But over 100 and 200

:40:39. > :40:42.metres, Usain Bolt has it hands down. Over 400 metres, Wayde van

:40:43. > :40:46.Niekerk has got it so the distance to run would be 300. That would be

:40:47. > :40:51.an event. But Usain Bolt would not do that? He could do it. One of the

:40:52. > :40:57.reasons he does not like running 400 is because he does not like

:40:58. > :41:02.training. He has admitted that. He ran 45 flat many years ago. But as a

:41:03. > :41:06.one-off, it would be interesting to see how he would do. But the thing

:41:07. > :41:10.that would scare him over 300 metres is the amount of lactic acid that

:41:11. > :41:13.would be created in his leg, but Wayde van Niekerk would be used to

:41:14. > :41:20.that. I reckon that would be a fantastic spectacle. Looking ahead

:41:21. > :41:23.for Usain Bolt to do the treble treble, Diane, the Jamaican

:41:24. > :41:28.sprinters have not done as well as normal. Do you think is going to get

:41:29. > :41:32.that in the relay? I think it is absolutely on. The difficulty with

:41:33. > :41:37.the relay is getting the baton round. Everybody has to do that,

:41:38. > :41:45.even Usain Bolt. With the team they have got, with the inspiration of

:41:46. > :41:48.somebody as strong, clearly in good form, as Usain Bolt, it is

:41:49. > :41:53.absolutely on. But we should not underestimate the other competitors.

:41:54. > :41:58.The Team GB guys will have something to say about that. They are a shark

:41:59. > :42:01.team. They have described themselves as a family. They know that they are

:42:02. > :42:06.running well and they know that they have trained well. They have got the

:42:07. > :42:09.baton round. I think we have to watch out for the other competitors

:42:10. > :42:19.as well. But the trouble trouble is absolutely on. It is an obviously.

:42:20. > :42:24.-- it is an, obviously. The problem for Usain Bolt is that nobody likes

:42:25. > :42:27.to have to rely on other people for your run success but this is a

:42:28. > :42:31.relay, a team event and he has to rely on those other three guys. The

:42:32. > :42:35.biggest problem is getting the baton round. You can be the greatest team,

:42:36. > :42:41.the Shahpur steam, the quickest team as we saw in 2004 at Athens where

:42:42. > :42:46.America had a slight tweak in one of their changeovers, and we have

:42:47. > :42:53.another world-class team on their shoulders. We have seen it in major

:42:54. > :42:57.championships before, it can happen and we hope it doesn't. It puts us

:42:58. > :43:01.in an odd situation because I would like to see Usain Bolt doing the

:43:02. > :43:07.trouble trouble, trouble trouble, however you want to pronounce it,

:43:08. > :43:14.but that is at the cost of Britain winning a gold medal. -- triple

:43:15. > :43:21.trouble. What is the future going to be now for sprinting? The worry is

:43:22. > :43:25.that Usain Bolt says his coach wants to do another 200 and then he is

:43:26. > :43:30.done. I was lucky enough to be in the stadium when he ran his 200

:43:31. > :43:34.metres in 2012. When he walked into the stadium, the electricity was

:43:35. > :43:37.phenomenal. He had the crowd eating out of his hands. Athletics, with

:43:38. > :43:43.all of its scandals, it needs someone like that. Wayde van

:43:44. > :43:48.Niekerk, is that him and? Does he have the personality? Who picks up

:43:49. > :43:52.the baton? The problem is there. From an ability point of view, there

:43:53. > :43:58.are athletes that could fill those shoes. We have Mo Farah and Jess

:43:59. > :44:03.Ennis. We have Wayde van Niekerks and other world-class athletes. But

:44:04. > :44:07.what we're going to miss is that personality and character and it

:44:08. > :44:12.will leave a hole. The sad thing, if anyone else tries to be Usain Bolt,

:44:13. > :44:16.they will say, they are only copying. Nothing else can be said.

:44:17. > :44:21.He will leave a massive hole from that perspective. The competition

:44:22. > :44:24.and the times and the medals will continue to be won by other

:44:25. > :44:28.athletes. Other people will come along with similar abilities that

:44:29. > :44:33.will be able to perform at that level but following that personality

:44:34. > :44:39.that he brings, we are going to miss that. Single-handedly, he has been

:44:40. > :44:42.responsible for keeping track and field where it is in the world is

:44:43. > :44:48.today. Did you see anyone taking over, Diane? What is unique about

:44:49. > :44:53.Usain Bolt is the fact that he is charismatic, and confident. What

:44:54. > :44:58.we're used to seeing in athletes is that tunnel vision, the game face

:44:59. > :45:02.that they come with on the running track. And he has changed all of

:45:03. > :45:04.that. He has entertained us and excited us and then when it has

:45:05. > :45:10.really mattered, he has also performed. And I think this is an

:45:11. > :45:13.opportunity now. It is an opportunity for other talented young

:45:14. > :45:20.athletes to get up there and not try to copy or to be a clone of Usain

:45:21. > :45:25.Bolt, but to go out there and perform, keep winning, keep right

:45:26. > :45:29.first times and bring their own style, their own charisma, their own

:45:30. > :45:33.personality to the sport. It has been done before. Usain Bolt is

:45:34. > :45:39.unique, absolutely, but what is great about athletics is that it is

:45:40. > :45:43.an opportunity for others to come through and shame. And there will be

:45:44. > :45:50.others waiting in the wings, ready to show their own personality.

:45:51. > :45:56.They have to be careful, these up-and-coming athletes, just

:45:57. > :45:58.remember you've got to be winning and winning in style before you can

:45:59. > :46:03.start showboating and doing the sort of stuff Usain Bolt has done. Years

:46:04. > :46:08.ago Michael Johnson with his gold spikes come he could afford to wear

:46:09. > :46:13.gold spikes because the guy was smashing world record over 200 and

:46:14. > :46:20.400. So it's all well and good but I always say take care of business

:46:21. > :46:27.first and then the world is your lobster. I think it would be a

:46:28. > :46:31.mistake for anybody to go and try to replicate what is a natural

:46:32. > :46:34.personality of Usain Bolt. I remember meeting him when he was 15

:46:35. > :46:39.years old at the world Junior Championships in Sherbrooke in

:46:40. > :46:45.Canada and we were there with a strong Team GB contingent ourselves.

:46:46. > :46:48.We were very proud and confident about what they young Craig

:46:49. > :46:53.Pickering, 100 metres sprinter, was going to achieve at this

:46:54. > :46:58.Championships. The Jamaican team looked at us and said, OK, we see

:46:59. > :47:03.Craig, we recognise his talent, but look out for this young 15-year-old

:47:04. > :47:07.Tommy Usain Bolt. And at the age of 15 at those world junior

:47:08. > :47:14.championships he was amazing, charismatic. He was entertaining.

:47:15. > :47:20.His ego at 15 was just as Big Ben as it is today. And so that is natural

:47:21. > :47:25.to him and it would be wrong of anybody to try to replicate that.

:47:26. > :47:28.But it would be absolutely right for those with the personality and the

:47:29. > :47:31.drive to want to go out and entertained to do it in their own

:47:32. > :47:35.unique way. Because that's what sport is about. We are there to

:47:36. > :47:40.entertain and to provide people with a showcase. Encouraging young people

:47:41. > :47:44.to get involved in the sport. Thank you for coming to speak to us.

:47:45. > :47:48.The International Paralympic Committee has said

:47:49. > :47:50.there is ?90 million deficit in funding for the Games.

:47:51. > :47:54.Only 12% of tickets have been sold, and the funding shortfall means some

:47:55. > :47:58.athletes from smaller nations may not be able to get to the games.

:47:59. > :48:02.The man who has to tell the Police 24 hours before he has sex

:48:03. > :48:05.will today find out if the legal order is to be extended

:48:06. > :48:15.John O'Neill claims his Sexual Risk Order is so wide-ranging

:48:16. > :48:17.that he is unable to work and is now homeless.

:48:18. > :48:20.I must warn you this discussion will contain frank,

:48:21. > :48:23.sexual language which you might not want children to hear - our reporter

:48:24. > :48:27.First of all, can you give us a little background to this case?

:48:28. > :48:31.Tell us what could happen today. These sexual risk orders came into

:48:32. > :48:35.force last year and they can be imposed on anyone the courts believe

:48:36. > :48:40.could be at potential risk of causing potential harm. In the case

:48:41. > :48:44.of John O'Neill he was acquitted of rape but during the trial we heard

:48:45. > :48:49.evidence that he had rape fantasies. He always maintained that those will

:48:50. > :48:53.role-play and part of a consensual relationship with his then partner.

:48:54. > :48:57.And that he also had safe words to ensure the situation could not get

:48:58. > :49:01.out of control. Despite that the judge took the unusual step of

:49:02. > :49:05.saying that he was dangerous. Since then he's had this order imposed on

:49:06. > :49:06.him and he says because of the stringent nature of that order he is

:49:07. > :49:20.now living rough. So this is where I've been camping

:49:21. > :49:26.out. Over here, that's the little one-man tent. That's where I sleep.

:49:27. > :49:34.I've got some waterproof containers for clothes and such. Firewood for

:49:35. > :49:41.the concrete stove I have improvised out of breeze blocks. That's my

:49:42. > :49:48.water stash. The piles of lemonade bottles. Jesse is that as water

:49:49. > :49:54.containers. Do you actually like living here? Once I got used to it,

:49:55. > :49:58.yeah. The bills are very reasonable. Isn't it demoralising to live like

:49:59. > :50:04.this? It is under the current circumstances because I thought all

:50:05. > :50:10.this was behind me. I thought all this was behind me. But to have to

:50:11. > :50:20.go back to it, it has been a bit of a shock. But to be honest I'm

:50:21. > :50:23.entirely focused on the hearing. John O'Neill claims he's living

:50:24. > :50:28.rough because he can't get a job after the sexual risk order he was

:50:29. > :50:33.placed on prevents him from using electronic devices unless the police

:50:34. > :50:37.can access them. Despite being found not guilty of rape is legally

:50:38. > :50:41.required to tell the police 24 hours before he has sex. And in his first

:50:42. > :50:47.interview he told this programme the order has impacted on his life. Why

:50:48. > :50:57.have you had this sexual risk order served upon you? This is the mystery

:50:58. > :51:01.that we have been trying to figure out. We were amazed that the police

:51:02. > :51:06.made the application after an acquittal, unanimous acquittal of

:51:07. > :51:13.the only time that I've ever been accused of. As he's homeless, John

:51:14. > :51:17.prepares for today's court hearing in a park in York. He claims he was

:51:18. > :51:22.advised to declare himself unavailable to work, as a result he

:51:23. > :51:28.says he's lost the right to universal credit and legal aid. Have

:51:29. > :51:32.you made yourself a martyr? I haven't done it, that's the point.

:51:33. > :51:36.Have you done it just as a campaign against the situation you are in?

:51:37. > :51:42.That is an outrageous misrepresentation of what has

:51:43. > :51:48.happened. I have not done this. None of us expected after the claim was

:51:49. > :51:54.cut that it would have a knock-on effect to legal aid. John spends his

:51:55. > :51:58.days in coffee shops and walking the streets. Thinking about the court

:51:59. > :52:04.case today which could see his sexual risk order extended for up to

:52:05. > :52:09.five years. Do you just want around town because you've got nowhere to

:52:10. > :52:13.live? No, I'm working overtime. I've got a matter of days to prepare for

:52:14. > :52:20.a very complicated case in which I'll be representing myself. So it's

:52:21. > :52:24.all work. Do you have to come in to pick things up? Why are you in town?

:52:25. > :52:27.That's right. Because I don't have an address my solicitor sends

:52:28. > :52:34.paperwork to the post office in the centre of town. So yes I do have to

:52:35. > :52:37.walk in to pick up post. North Yorkshire Police say the orders are

:52:38. > :52:41.there to protect the public from the risk of sexual harm, and it's up to

:52:42. > :52:45.the courts to decide if they are justified. Department for Work and

:52:46. > :52:48.Pensions say they don't recognise this account of events and urge Mr

:52:49. > :52:54.O'Neill to contact them if he wants help to get back to work. I accept

:52:55. > :52:59.that it's odd and very unusual. But I was homeless when I was a kid, I

:53:00. > :53:03.camped out all the time. It's not as much of a culture shock for me as it

:53:04. > :53:07.might be for someone else. I have no control over what happens on Friday

:53:08. > :53:16.and I am not optimistic because of what's happened this last week. I

:53:17. > :53:20.just can't imagine winning on Friday.

:53:21. > :53:26.So, Peter, he said in a report that he will be representing himself.

:53:27. > :53:30.Tell us what will happen today? He lost his right to legal aid so he

:53:31. > :53:33.will be representing himself in court today and says he's not

:53:34. > :53:37.optimistic because he is not a legal professional. The most likely

:53:38. > :53:40.outcomes are either that the order is lifted or it could be imposed for

:53:41. > :53:44.a period of time right up to five years. Civil Liberties groups have

:53:45. > :53:48.always complained about these orders saying that they are heavily

:53:49. > :53:51.restrictive, especially on people that have never been convicted of

:53:52. > :53:56.any crime. North Yorkshire Police always claim that the conditions of

:53:57. > :53:59.this order are proportionate. Of course the media picks up on this

:54:00. > :54:08.committee needs to give 24 hours notice before he has sex. He says

:54:09. > :54:13.there are greater challenges. He says that's the thing everybody is

:54:14. > :54:17.caught up on, the 24 hour notice. But he says it is the limit on

:54:18. > :54:21.electronic devices which is the big thing. We now live in a society that

:54:22. > :54:26.is so reliant on technology, either at work or at home you might have to

:54:27. > :54:30.use a mobile phone or a computer and unless these have access to all

:54:31. > :54:33.those things he cannot use them and he says it is a huge restriction on

:54:34. > :54:35.his life and one of the reasons he is now living rough.

:54:36. > :55:13.Thanks for dropping by to fill us in.

:55:14. > :55:16.Half of parents with children under the age of 14 allow them

:55:17. > :55:19.to drink alcohol at home, according to a new survey.

:55:20. > :55:20.The research, by a leading insurance company,

:55:21. > :55:23.spoke to more than 1,000 people and found that many of them

:55:24. > :55:27.It also found that a third of parents with children under 14

:55:28. > :55:29.used alcohol as a bribe to encourage good behaviour.

:55:30. > :55:32.A spokesman for the East England Ambulance Service said that despite

:55:33. > :55:36.the best efforts of everyone involved the child sadly died. I

:55:37. > :55:39.have spoken to Essex Police and they tell me they have arrested a

:55:40. > :55:43.29-year-old woman for allowing a doctor be dangerously out of control

:55:44. > :55:47.and injuring a person. She remains in custody this morning. The dog in

:55:48. > :55:49.question has been seized and placed in kennels. The breed is yet to be

:55:50. > :56:03.identified. Do they automatically destroy dogs?

:56:04. > :56:07.They have two identify the breed and act within the law. Worryingly on

:56:08. > :56:11.Monday there was another fatal attack, a man who was 52. Attacked

:56:12. > :56:16.and killed by a dog while walking his own Yorkshire terrier in

:56:17. > :56:19.Huddersfield. This was notable particularly because the dog in

:56:20. > :56:22.question that attacked him had been returned to its owner a week earlier

:56:23. > :56:29.by dog wardens who deemed that the breed was not dangerous. And that

:56:30. > :56:31.incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints

:56:32. > :56:35.Commission. Frankly there are still lots of dangerous dogs owned by

:56:36. > :56:40.members of the public, at least 21 people, 14 of them children, have

:56:41. > :56:43.died in the last ten years as the result of dog attacks. More than

:56:44. > :56:48.7000 people have been taken to hospital with injuries as a result

:56:49. > :56:52.of dog attacks in two years. The Dangerous Dogs Act, there to try to

:56:53. > :56:57.stop this problem, amended in 2014 to give greater powers to try and

:56:58. > :57:00.prevent this, some of the new measures were introduced to penalise

:57:01. > :57:03.the owners of dogs who attack people on private as well as public

:57:04. > :57:08.property, and actually the prison sentences were increased as well for

:57:09. > :57:13.those convicted of certain offences. I think especially with this latest

:57:14. > :57:16.death a lot of people will be asking whether the law is simply not

:57:17. > :57:19.working well enough. Thank you for dropping by and filling us in on

:57:20. > :57:24.that story. We will bring you an update on that. Headlines in the

:57:25. > :57:30.next couple of minutes but first the weather. After the sunshine there is

:57:31. > :57:35.a change of seasons in the air for many, I'm afraid to say. Some will

:57:36. > :57:43.be welcome of the rain falling over the next 24 hours. The glorious week

:57:44. > :57:47.in the Highlands, best of the weather here today, up to 24

:57:48. > :57:51.Celsius. This shot from Dorset much more typical of what many of you are

:57:52. > :57:56.seeing out there right now. Rain spreading its way north with an

:57:57. > :57:59.eastwards. Things by turning up this afternoon through England, Wales and

:58:00. > :58:01.Northern Ireland as the rain works northwards and eastwards, never

:58:02. > :58:07.quite reaching the far north of Scotland. Expect temperatures of 23

:58:08. > :58:12.degrees. But central and southern Scotland, not a great afternoon. Not

:58:13. > :58:16.great in England but some areas need rain, we've only had four or five

:58:17. > :58:19.millimetres in the East Midlands so far this month, any rain here will

:58:20. > :58:23.be welcome. I'm sure some gardens across the South will welcome the

:58:24. > :58:27.occasional rain. As the sun comes out the win strengthens and this is

:58:28. > :58:31.our change to autumn as we go through tonight and into tomorrow,

:58:32. > :58:36.deepening area of low pressure to the west of Northern Ireland,

:58:37. > :58:39.strengthening winds around, rain pushing northwards towards Orkney

:58:40. > :58:41.and Shetland and bringing infrequent, heavy and thundery

:58:42. > :58:45.showers towards western parts of the UK to go into Saturday morning. The

:58:46. > :58:48.weekend will not be a wash-out by any means and in fact some parts of

:58:49. > :58:53.north and name in Scotland, another fine day. Eastern parts of England,

:58:54. > :58:56.some getting away with a few showers, dry weather. Frequent

:58:57. > :59:01.showers elsewhere, some heavy and thundery. Dusty winds accompanying.

:59:02. > :59:04.After temperatures in the mid to high 20s, some will be struggling to

:59:05. > :59:08.get out of the team's Saturday afternoon. The big story for

:59:09. > :59:11.tomorrow is the strength of wind around the coast and southern

:59:12. > :59:17.western parts of England and Wales, widespread gales. Winds touching 40,

:59:18. > :59:21.50, even 60 mph. That will have an impact on ferry services. And being

:59:22. > :59:25.the summer, a big weekend of outdoor activities could be hampered as the

:59:26. > :59:29.area of low pressure continues to push across the North Sea as we go

:59:30. > :59:31.through the night and into Sunday. Staying window through Saturday

:59:32. > :59:36.night. Frequent showers to begin with. Confined to eastern areas

:59:37. > :59:42.later. Try and buy to towards the West. Sunshine in the breeze not

:59:43. > :59:46.feeling especially warm. Taking is into Monday working its way across

:59:47. > :59:49.the UK and then into next week. Is that weather front just all is

:59:50. > :59:52.towards the West. And if they do that there's a chance, after a

:59:53. > :59:55.cooler weekend, we could start to bring warmer air back-up from the

:59:56. > :59:59.the near continent. Temperatures back to the mid or high 20s

:00:00. > :00:02.potentially across southern and eastern parts of the UK. More

:00:03. > :00:06.updates on the news channel throughout the day.

:00:07. > :00:08.Hello it's 10 o'clock, it's Friday - I'm Chloe Tilly -

:00:09. > :00:10.welcome to the programme if you've just joined us.

:00:11. > :00:17.The greatest sprinter of all time Usain Bolt is now just one final

:00:18. > :00:21.away from the "triple triple" - three golds from three

:00:22. > :00:42.I'm getting older, I'm not as young and fresh but I'm just excited I got

:00:43. > :00:46.the gold medal. Marc Cavendish, fresh from Rio, tells us what it

:00:47. > :00:51.means to be part of Team GB's successful stop to represent Great

:00:52. > :00:58.Britain is such an honour. The Olympics is the biggest thing. You

:00:59. > :01:01.can watch the full interview on our programme page.

:01:02. > :01:04.And do you let your teenagers drink at home?

:01:05. > :01:19.A new study suggesting that half of all parents in Britain do.

:01:20. > :01:26.We can head to speak to queue and get all of the updates on the

:01:27. > :01:31.Olympics. What will you do when they are over? I do not know what we will

:01:32. > :01:36.be talking about next week I'm sure there is football going on. We have

:01:37. > :01:44.to talk about Olympics while it is going on. First, we have to speak

:01:45. > :01:48.about the incomparable Usain Bolt, the 29-year-old, powering his way

:01:49. > :01:54.around the video track to win the 200 metres gold for the third

:01:55. > :01:59.straight Games will stop 19.78 seconds. He stays on course for an

:02:00. > :02:07.extraordinary travel trouble of sprint titles. Team GB consolidated

:02:08. > :02:11.second in the medal table with three golds, Jade Jones wrote her name in

:02:12. > :02:18.the history, defending her Olympic crown in the under 57 kilograms

:02:19. > :02:28.category, eating a big rival from Spain -- beating. I didn't actually

:02:29. > :02:34.realise how much pressure it would be. It was only today, I thought,

:02:35. > :02:38.there is a lot of pressure, and pressure on myself, because I know I

:02:39. > :02:43.am the best but in tae kwon do, doesn't always work like that. I

:03:34. > :03:41.and London. -- the Olympic title. I am joined by part of the rugby

:03:42. > :03:44.sevens team. James, I want to start with you. It was a great

:03:45. > :03:53.performance, you beat New Zealand early on, did you ever think that

:03:54. > :03:59.you would have gone so far and start so well? I think when we can

:04:00. > :04:02.together ten weeks ago, we had the challenges of never having played

:04:03. > :04:05.together as a team, we knew we were confident in the levels of training

:04:06. > :04:12.we have had back home before we went to Rio, we wanted to get a good

:04:13. > :04:16.start in the first game against Kenya, and then we built our

:04:17. > :04:22.performances. It was a great feeling to reach the final. That semifinal

:04:23. > :04:27.against South Africa was a very tough much, it's obviously put you

:04:28. > :04:31.into the gold-medal game, but was it so tough you had spent all your

:04:32. > :04:36.energy, did you have anything left in the tank against Fiji for the

:04:37. > :04:41.final? I don't think so. It was probably our toughest game, and it

:04:42. > :04:47.was another one that was really tight, but in the last game, that

:04:48. > :04:51.was bubbly our worst performance, unfortunately, and the Fijian is

:04:52. > :04:58.really hit the mark, and probably played as well as they could have.

:04:59. > :05:01.They hadn't performed to their best throughout the tournament and it was

:05:02. > :05:07.a lucky for us that when they are on form, everything goes to hand, they

:05:08. > :05:11.always off-loading the ball, they have pace, powerful, huge men, they

:05:12. > :05:13.are difficult to stop. Do you come home with any disappointment or is

:05:14. > :05:20.the silver medal almost overachievement? It was a funny

:05:21. > :05:24.feeling, because essentially, you come off having lost the game and it

:05:25. > :05:29.was the final and we lost it quite badly but then on reflection, how

:05:30. > :05:32.far we have come in the last ten weeks, we pretty quickly were

:05:33. > :05:38.buzzing in terms of what we managed to achieve as a group. Tom, the

:05:39. > :05:43.captain, the legacy of rugby sevens, it is starting to stand out as a

:05:44. > :05:47.sport in its own right away from the 15s game, do you think this medal

:05:48. > :05:52.will go some way towards establishing the sevens game in

:05:53. > :05:57.people's minds? I hope so. The game of sevens has been on an amazing

:05:58. > :06:00.journey, we have seen it grow in popularity, no more so than in the

:06:01. > :06:04.last couple of weeks. The feedback we have had from people, it was the

:06:05. > :06:10.most amazing thing, people have never seen a game before saying how

:06:11. > :06:15.exciting it was. It's 14 minutes, amazing action, lots of scoring,

:06:16. > :06:20.it's easy to get into even if you don't understand the game of rugby

:06:21. > :06:25.so much. That's amazing for us as players, to be part of that on the

:06:26. > :06:28.biggest stage there is an also in terms of legacy, we wanted to

:06:29. > :06:36.protect our ability to come together as a team, the ability we showed out

:06:37. > :06:39.there on the field was special, the way we fought and had a never say

:06:40. > :06:46.die attitude for Team GB and everyone that represents, is

:06:47. > :06:50.something we would like to leave a legacy for. Congratulations. I'm

:06:51. > :06:58.sure you will be celebrating for some time to come. We will be back

:06:59. > :07:03.just after 1030 a.m. To talk more Rio sport. Time for a summary of

:10:53. > :10:54.because they couldn't get UK Sport is the body that decides

:10:55. > :10:58.which sports will be give After London 2012,

:10:59. > :11:02.four Olympic sports - Basketball, Volleyball,

:11:03. > :11:03.Table Tennis and Wrestling - Other sports suffered

:11:04. > :11:08.less severe cuts. Swimming - which fell short

:11:09. > :11:11.of its London 2012 target - was cut by nearly ?4

:11:12. > :11:19.million. Some sports had more money. Overall

:11:20. > :11:30.the total funding was 347 million. So what happens to those

:11:31. > :11:32.athletes who are left not And what about the athletes

:11:33. > :11:36.who haven't hit their medal targets in Rio -

:11:37. > :11:38.will they lose out in and Olympic Bronze Medallist Chloe

:11:39. > :11:48.Rogers and Professional Table Tennis In our Southampton studio

:11:49. > :12:00.is the Chair of UK Sport Rod Carr. These are pretty brutal decisions.

:12:01. > :12:05.Is it literally a case of where you finish at an Olympic Games as to

:12:06. > :12:11.what funding you get? No, it isn't, is the reality. It's a case that

:12:12. > :12:14.it's a factor, but the main thing we look at is the capability of a

:12:15. > :12:19.particular sport going forwards. We spend more time looking forwards as

:12:20. > :12:24.to who the sport is putting forward and whether they have got a

:12:25. > :12:27.realistic medal shot at the Games all the Games after, then we do

:12:28. > :12:32.looking backwards. So it isn't the case that it's as simple as

:12:33. > :12:37.committee don't perform, you get your money cut. It's worth pointing

:12:38. > :12:41.out that London was a special case, a home Olympics, the government

:12:42. > :12:45.decided that all competing British sports should have some basic

:12:46. > :12:51.funding, which had not been done before in the previous four Games.

:12:52. > :12:56.So it was a special case, we felt that if we didn't have the resources

:12:57. > :13:00.to carry on with that with sports that didn't have a realistic chance

:13:01. > :13:06.of getting to the podium for the next Games. He say it's not directly

:13:07. > :13:13.linked to performance but if you get the gymnastics team for example,

:13:14. > :13:17.which have done amazing things, far outperforming what was expected, Max

:13:18. > :13:20.Whitlock becoming a double champion, presumably gymnastics will now get

:13:21. > :13:25.more money, is that then taken away from another sport? You are right

:13:26. > :13:31.that we have a limited pot of money, we have to distribute that in the

:13:32. > :13:35.best way, to maximise our chances of getting the maximum number of medals

:13:36. > :13:41.so yes, it's tough and we have to make decisions. The gymnastics as a

:13:42. > :13:46.classic case in point, in 2000 they didn't do very well and they had

:13:47. > :13:51.their money cut. Their strategy was to have a root and branch review of

:13:52. > :13:55.what they were doing, the pathways for young gymnasts, coaches they

:13:56. > :13:59.were employing, they did all of that, and you have seen the results.

:14:00. > :14:05.It has taken them some time, but right now, three Olympic cycles

:14:06. > :14:09.later, they are right up there. And they did it bit by bit. Coming to us

:14:10. > :14:13.each time and delivering on what they said they would do, we

:14:14. > :14:22.responded with giving the more funding. The those sports that

:14:23. > :14:26.aren't yet there in funding terms, the reality is, if they come to us

:14:27. > :14:33.with a track record, and they demonstrate brought record of

:14:34. > :14:40.achievement, even at Junior or youth level, we will take that Somerset. I

:14:41. > :14:45.want to bring in Chloe and Simon, Chloe, you had that funding is a

:14:46. > :14:50.hockey player. We were very fortunate to have the funding and

:14:51. > :14:53.train full-time as a squad. It's been a long path and it comes over

:14:54. > :15:01.time, working hard to get that funding. They didn't qualify for the

:15:02. > :15:07.Athens Olympics, slowly they progressed, but from the Beijing

:15:08. > :15:12.cycle, we were funded full-time, and progression is helped and we have

:15:13. > :15:14.got better results, so it's about performances at the Olympics,

:15:15. > :15:17.performing well at every tournament and showing you are medal

:15:18. > :15:24.contenders, going into radio as well.

:15:25. > :15:31.When we talk about funding, what does it mean? Do you personally get

:15:32. > :15:37.money? As a training group for London and Rio, 30 men and 30 women

:15:38. > :15:41.on the hockey teams are funded, for a squad of 16 that get picked each

:15:42. > :15:48.tournament. We are all individually paid a monthly allowance, and that

:15:49. > :15:53.allows you to train full-time. We all live near the site. For the

:15:54. > :15:55.Beijing side of a lot of us were working part-time and training

:15:56. > :15:59.part-time and that showed in our results. Moving towards London and

:16:00. > :16:04.Rio we were able to be together every day, training fully, it has

:16:05. > :16:09.your full attention and focus and results improve. Give us the

:16:10. > :16:13.perspective on table tennis. You are not only a coach but your brother

:16:14. > :16:16.has self-funded and become world champion? The world champion is in a

:16:17. > :16:24.different sport, the sandpaper version. But Andrew is the athlete

:16:25. > :16:29.with most medals in Commonwealth history. Table tennis was given

:16:30. > :16:34.nominal funding for London and doesn't have funding now. Obviously

:16:35. > :16:38.it is a no-brainer. Table tennis needs funding for its elite level

:16:39. > :16:42.athletes and right throughout the sport. The concern is how governing

:16:43. > :16:47.bodies spend their money and how they allocate their money, it is of

:16:48. > :16:51.the greatest interest to me. How does your brother balance that, if

:16:52. > :16:59.he is self-funded, does he have a job? Andrew Bagley is very much

:17:00. > :17:02.full-time, he has just come back from China. Fortunately we have a

:17:03. > :17:06.very strong family network which I think you will find a lot of

:17:07. > :17:10.sportspeople have. In some ways not getting funding has created the

:17:11. > :17:15.athlete. We had to fight for what perhaps we felt was our right and we

:17:16. > :17:21.would still argue that. Equally so I ink that's made an athlete. We do it

:17:22. > :17:27.our own. But Andrew has always been selected for major events. Played in

:17:28. > :17:31.London 2012, and it has created an athlete who has had to fight and do

:17:32. > :17:35.it the hard way. It's not always a hard luck story if you don't get

:17:36. > :17:41.funded. Stephen saying we need funding for table tennis, what are

:17:42. > :17:46.the chances of that? Well, they are on the rise, particularly in the

:17:47. > :17:51.men's side of the game. Some good results at the Olympics with the

:17:52. > :17:57.men's team, knocked out in the quarterfinal against China won gold.

:17:58. > :18:03.So just like gymnastics 12 or 16 years ago, they are on the rise. And

:18:04. > :18:08.I'm sure, I know in fact they will come to us and ask for us to

:18:09. > :18:13.consider their case for Tokyo and beyond, and we will take that very

:18:14. > :18:21.seriously. And I think the point that's been made about people really

:18:22. > :18:25.digging deep is a good one. Even if they are not on funding. Remember

:18:26. > :18:29.that public funding, in this case lottery funding, is a privilege.

:18:30. > :18:35.It's not right. And we do have to make some difficult conditions. To

:18:36. > :18:38.be honest with you the results speak for themselves. One hesitates to

:18:39. > :18:43.blow our own trumpet but you've only got to look at the medal table. We

:18:44. > :18:49.have medals in more sports than we did in London which was our home

:18:50. > :18:53.games. So it's working. Obviously he makes some valid points and table

:18:54. > :18:57.tennis clearly needs funding in the future. We are competing with China

:18:58. > :19:01.which is arguably the largest global economy and it is their national

:19:02. > :19:07.sport. To have any chance we do need funding throughout the support.

:19:08. > :19:09.Table tennis has done well at the Olympics, Team GB have done well,

:19:10. > :19:14.and that will encourage UK Sport to release funds to Team GB table

:19:15. > :19:20.tennis. So that's really encouraging. As I say, it's about

:19:21. > :19:24.how the allocation of funds is their news for the best interest of the

:19:25. > :19:30.game. As long as that is done in an open entrance Baron way I think

:19:31. > :19:33.people will connect with that. -- open and transparent way. When you

:19:34. > :19:37.see gold medals being won, there are many stories for people playing

:19:38. > :19:42.sport who have not been funded and that would make an interesting

:19:43. > :19:47.article, to not just see the gold medal, but to see the inspiration,

:19:48. > :19:50.it is heart-warming. There was a time, what's in there, When Marnie

:19:51. > :19:56.Was There kind of given out in what some people would say a very British

:19:57. > :19:59.way -- when money was given out. There's a more ruthless approach

:20:00. > :20:06.now. But we are winning more medals, so there needs to be logic to that.

:20:07. > :20:10.Yes, you look at who has received money and it is the sports that are

:20:11. > :20:15.doing well, and they have to have done well to get noticed in the

:20:16. > :20:19.first place. As hockey we did not receive much funding. We have

:20:20. > :20:23.progressed and done well to get noticed and receive funding to the

:20:24. > :20:27.point where we are able to do it full-time. Is it quite stressful

:20:28. > :20:31.waiting for the call of whether you've got funding or not? A little

:20:32. > :20:36.bit. There is a system whereby we are a squad so it's not necessarily

:20:37. > :20:38.the individual. The hockey girls took the decision that everybody

:20:39. > :20:43.receives the same amount, whether you have been in the squad ten years

:20:44. > :20:48.or are relatively new. As a group of players it was the decision of we

:20:49. > :20:51.are all in this together and we deserve the same amount. It's a

:20:52. > :20:55.tricky one to say you are waiting for your funding but ultimately as a

:20:56. > :20:58.sport we look at it, the men and women are there as a sport rather

:20:59. > :21:03.than individuals. Thank you for coming in. I will stick up for table

:21:04. > :21:07.tennis and I do hope Rod will look at table tennis favourably. He's

:21:08. > :21:13.giving you a nod, he suddenly taking it on board.

:21:14. > :21:17.The study suggesting that half of all parents let their under 14

:21:18. > :21:19.year olds drink at home - we'll have the details

:21:20. > :21:23.and we'd love to hear from you if you've got teenagers.

:21:24. > :21:30.Ian says parents should be ashamed of themselves, parents should be

:21:31. > :21:32.made accountable for their actions. Ben says encouraging drinking

:21:33. > :21:37.underage is not acceptable. The legal drink in aid should be raised

:21:38. > :21:42.to 21. Furthermore checks on shops and nightclubs selling to underage

:21:43. > :21:45.people need cracking down on. This view says I'm away to at a

:21:46. > :21:48.restaurant in the north-east and more often than not I come across

:21:49. > :21:53.parents who effectively encourage their underage children to drink. Do

:21:54. > :21:55.get in touch. A single image of a five year

:21:56. > :21:58.old Syrian child, battered, bloody and filthy after an air

:21:59. > :22:00.strike, brought the ravages of the conflict back

:22:01. > :22:03.onto the front pages this week. He was the victim of the latest

:22:04. > :22:05.fighting for control of the Syrian city of Aleppo -

:22:06. > :22:08.that's intensified as government forces try to regain control

:22:09. > :22:14.of districts lost to rebel forces. The Assad regime, backed by Russia

:22:15. > :22:17.and Iran, has continued bombarding the city,

:22:18. > :22:28.and this boy was retrieved from one The pictures were met with outrage

:22:29. > :22:30.and grief around the world. He's just one of thousands of children

:22:31. > :22:35.suffering as the violence escalates. If you see the whole video it is so

:22:36. > :22:39.painful to watch. Let's speak with Haid Haid a Syrian

:22:40. > :22:41.based in London with family Razan Saffour, whose

:22:42. > :22:45.mother is from Aleppo - she also has family currently living

:22:46. > :22:59.in the city. Those images are just absolutely

:23:00. > :23:03.heartbreaking, aren't they? Of course that is one child in a city

:23:04. > :23:06.where so many children are being targeted. It's hard for anybody to

:23:07. > :23:12.look at that but is it harder for you with that link to Aleppo? Yes,

:23:13. > :23:17.for sure. Especially that my son is still there. I have only one family

:23:18. > :23:21.member who lives in areas controlled by the regime, the rest live in

:23:22. > :23:29.areas controlled by opposition groups. On a daily basis I think of

:23:30. > :23:34.them. To see how they are doing. And I don't know whether the next call

:23:35. > :23:40.they will still be OK or not. It's just surreal, what's going on there.

:23:41. > :23:45.And no one is trying to do enough. Is there much difference in

:23:46. > :23:50.conditions between the rebel held areas and the government-controlled

:23:51. > :23:57.areas? Big, big time. The problem is that the Syrian regime is using

:23:58. > :24:02.bombs and indiscriminate weapons, and the Russians who started

:24:03. > :24:08.bombarding last September they have been intensifying their bombardments

:24:09. > :24:13.and strikes as well. So in my home town, around 30 kilometres from

:24:14. > :24:18.Aleppo, for more than three weeks now, you have between four and 30

:24:19. > :24:22.air strikes a day. And most of those air strikes, all of them, actually,

:24:23. > :24:29.I hitting civilian areas. They are hitting markets, hospitals and

:24:30. > :24:33.schools. And houses. So it is completely different when you live

:24:34. > :24:36.in areas controlled by the opposition, because they don't have

:24:37. > :24:45.air strikes. So the damage is done by mortar shelling is much less than

:24:46. > :24:50.the damage done by the air strikes. So when you talk to your family in

:24:51. > :24:54.Aleppo, is there any sense of a normal life? Do people feel safe to

:24:55. > :24:57.leave their homes and go out on the streets? Absolutely not. It's quite

:24:58. > :25:03.ironic because on one hand there's no sense as we understand it of

:25:04. > :25:10.going out, going to university, buying your groceries. For them it

:25:11. > :25:13.has become normal and that is exemplified in the image of the boy.

:25:14. > :25:19.He wasn't even crying, he was sitting there are specialist. A boy

:25:20. > :25:23.his age is the age of the Syrian war, he is five years old, that's

:25:24. > :25:27.when the Syrian war started. It just shows how this life has become very

:25:28. > :25:33.normal. People expect to die any second. I was speaking to my aunt

:25:34. > :25:40.just a few days ago. We speak to her every day. We hadn't heard from her

:25:41. > :25:43.for about three days on Wednesday. So we hadn't heard from her since

:25:44. > :25:50.Sunday. And on Wednesday we heard back from her and she told us that

:25:51. > :25:54.for the first time this year her flat was bombed by a barrel bomb

:25:55. > :25:58.filled with chlorine. She almost died. But because this has become

:25:59. > :26:02.their daily life she is very well equipped with survival techniques.

:26:03. > :26:05.Her neighbours who live in the flat underneath her diet and the people

:26:06. > :26:12.above, some of them died and some of them are in critical condition is.

:26:13. > :26:16.She is a 65-year-old woman who lives by herself. She was suffocating from

:26:17. > :26:22.chlorine gas but she managed to hide herself and cover her face with damp

:26:23. > :26:25.cloth for about two hours until the Syrian civil defence came over and

:26:26. > :26:30.were able to extract her out of the rubble. Now she's homeless. Thank

:26:31. > :26:36.God she's got friends where she can stay round their houses. But yeah,

:26:37. > :26:41.that's their daily lives. Even when she was telling us this, I was in

:26:42. > :26:45.shock. I'm half decent to, I can't cry because I hear this on a daily

:26:46. > :26:50.basis but I'm shocked because she's almost laughing like, I almost got

:26:51. > :26:54.killed again. Does she have access to food? You say she's effectively

:26:55. > :27:00.homeless, friends are supporting her, how does she get access to food

:27:01. > :27:07.and medicine? Knowing that Aleppo is under siege right now, generally all

:27:08. > :27:13.of Syria, it's very difficult to get access to food. She gets food

:27:14. > :27:24.because charities are able to come in. I'm sceptical about Russia being

:27:25. > :27:29.involved in that. Russia agree to that the same day they bombed nine

:27:30. > :27:32.hospitals. And they are the biggest killers, alongside the regime, of

:27:33. > :27:38.the Syrian people. So it's all very ironic. But they do get food.

:27:39. > :27:42.Obviously it's not as accessible but food is there. The main concern now

:27:43. > :27:46.is to stop the murder once and for all. That's the main concern for

:27:47. > :27:50.Syrians right now. They are demanding a no-fly zone, for a stop

:27:51. > :27:54.to the killing. But more they are demanding food. Of course Russia has

:27:55. > :27:58.said yesterday that it would support the idea of a 48-hour ceasefire.

:27:59. > :28:05.We've heard these kinds of conversations before. Do you have

:28:06. > :28:08.faith in that? Definitely not. Because they are the ones targeting

:28:09. > :28:16.civilians and they are the ones targeting hospitals and schools.

:28:17. > :28:20.They just say that to say that, OK, we are doing something about it. The

:28:21. > :28:23.truth is they are the ones killing those people and they are the ones

:28:24. > :28:32.not allowing food to enter those areas. Even as Rezan mentioned, the

:28:33. > :28:37.siege was broken a week ago, more than that. But now the regime are

:28:38. > :28:42.targeting this bit of land so they don't allow people to leave. And

:28:43. > :28:47.they don't allow aid in. They are the ones stopping that from taking

:28:48. > :28:53.place. And they are just giving people false promises to say. Bait

:28:54. > :28:58.as you speak to your respective families inside Aleppo, do they want

:28:59. > :29:02.to leave? And if they do, is there any realistic prospect they will be

:29:03. > :29:04.able to? I think it's quite difficult at this point to leave

:29:05. > :29:12.from Aleppo because it's not physically possible. Because they

:29:13. > :29:16.don't trust the humanitarian forces? Nobody did, and the corridors don't

:29:17. > :29:21.even exist. That's one thing. I spoke to a friend there and he told

:29:22. > :29:25.me that at least in my house I know that I can die peacefully with my

:29:26. > :29:29.family. But why would I go to a designated area to be killed by

:29:30. > :29:34.those who are killing me everywhere I go? So for sure they do not trust

:29:35. > :29:39.them. The other thing is, you want to leave out of Aleppo, to go where?

:29:40. > :29:44.Turkey closed the borders, you cannot leave Syria. To Lebanon on is

:29:45. > :29:49.almost impossible. To Jordan they closed the border as well. You have

:29:50. > :29:54.no way out of Syria. As long as you are in Syria it is the same

:29:55. > :29:57.situation. You go outside Aleppo, they are bombarding those areas as

:29:58. > :30:03.well. My hometown has 30 air strikes today. There is no safe place to go

:30:04. > :30:11.to. This is why the discussion is we need to provide those people with

:30:12. > :30:15.safe areas. Those people need protection, and we should provide

:30:16. > :30:18.them with that protection. I think there's also another aspect not

:30:19. > :30:23.discussed as much. This is their home country. They don't want to

:30:24. > :30:29.leave Syria, they want to rebuild Syria. We tend to forget, the

:30:30. > :30:32.narrative is skewed and we tend to forget how this started. It started

:30:33. > :30:35.five years ago with a revolution when people rose up asking for

:30:36. > :30:41.freedom. People want to stay in their country and rebuild, they do

:30:42. > :30:44.not want to be forced out of it, and for the bombardment to remain there

:30:45. > :30:48.and for them not to be able to live a prosperous life in the place where

:30:49. > :30:53.their grandparents lived in. So we tend to forget about that home

:30:54. > :30:56.sentiment, national sentiment. We can't just uproot people from their

:30:57. > :31:01.home and send them to another place full stop they are going to be

:31:02. > :31:04.living isolated, for the rest of their lives.

:31:05. > :31:13.There is another issue, which is solidarity. When I speak to my

:31:14. > :31:18.parents, tell them they should leave and they say, we can't afford to

:31:19. > :31:26.leave. So we are there with those people and their supper whatever

:31:27. > :31:29.they suffer. -- they suffer. Those people other neighbours and friends,

:31:30. > :31:32.they are not going to leave them there alone because believing that

:31:33. > :31:36.place doesn't change the fact of those people will die maybe tomorrow

:31:37. > :31:40.or the day after. The homes in their country are being destroyed. Thank

:31:41. > :31:43.you for joining us. With just three weeks to go till

:31:44. > :31:46.the start of the Paralympic games - we speak to Team GB's most decorated

:31:47. > :31:49.female Paralympian, Sarah Storey - she'll be telling us

:31:50. > :31:54.how she's preparing. But this comes amid fears

:31:55. > :31:57.of a ?90 million shortfall Only 12% of tickets have been sold -

:31:58. > :32:01.and there've been oversight issues - meaning some athletes may not be

:32:02. > :32:24.able to afford to get to the games. Let's get some sport. Again, more

:32:25. > :32:30.success on day 13 for Team GB but also an eighth Olympic gold medal

:32:31. > :32:35.for the in comparable Usain Bolt, the Jamaican easily winning the 200

:32:36. > :32:42.metres, he now goes in the four times 100 relay, he is aiming for an

:32:43. > :32:49.unprecedented nightclub medal on the track. 56 medals so far for Great

:32:50. > :32:53.Britain. Jade Jones retained her title in the tae kwon do, the same

:32:54. > :33:00.one she won in London four years ago. A historic 1-2 for the Bradley

:33:01. > :33:05.brothers, Alistair Brownlee beating Jenny Bramley by six seconds to

:33:06. > :33:12.become the first man to win two Olympic titles -- Jonathan Bramley.

:33:13. > :33:19.Tonight at nine p.m., Great Britain face the Netherlands in the final of

:33:20. > :33:20.the hockey. It'll be a big one for them. Plenty more spoiled coming

:33:21. > :33:25.throughout the day. -- more sport. Police in Essex say a boy who died

:33:26. > :33:29.after being attacked by a dog It happened at Halstead

:33:30. > :33:34.late yesterday. A 29-year-old woman has been

:33:35. > :33:36.arrested for allegedly allowing a dog to be dangerously

:33:37. > :33:44.out of control. The dog has been seized by police

:33:45. > :33:48.and placed in kennels. The United States Olympic Committee

:33:49. > :33:50.has apologised to the organisers of the Rio Olympics,

:33:51. > :33:52.and the people of Brazil, for the behaviour of

:33:53. > :33:54.a group of swimmers. The four, who include the gold

:33:55. > :33:56.medallist Ryan Lochte, Brazilian police say they lied

:33:57. > :34:01.to cover up an act of vandalism Latest reports say that Jimmy Fagan

:34:02. > :34:06.is to pay $11,000 to a Brazilian On this programme yesterday

:34:07. > :34:16.we heard calls for a post-Rio Olympic Games parade in Britain.

:34:17. > :34:18.Now support appears to be growing. The Mayor of London,

:34:19. > :34:21.Sadiq Khan, has said he is keen He said he was speaking

:34:22. > :34:25.to the government and Olympic and Paralympic sports chiefs to find

:34:26. > :34:28.the best way of celebrating the achievements of

:34:29. > :34:30.British competitors. If I have my way, yes,

:34:31. > :34:34.but we've got to talk to the government and the Olympic

:34:35. > :34:36.and Paralympic chiefs. They will want it, that's

:34:37. > :34:38.why I am optimistic, and what is important is we have got

:34:39. > :34:42.the Paralympics coming up, I'm excited about that as

:34:43. > :34:45.well, we celebrate our heroes returning home from Rio, Olympians

:34:46. > :35:09.and Paralympians. The 2012 Paralympic Games were a

:35:10. > :35:10.record success, a huge uptake in disability sport, but there is

:35:11. > :35:13.concern about Rio. The International Paralympic

:35:14. > :35:18.Committee has said there is ?90 million deficit

:35:19. > :35:23.in funding for the Games. Only 12% of tickets have been sold,

:35:24. > :35:26.and the funding shortfall means some athletes from smaller nations may

:35:27. > :35:30.not be able to get to the games. On top of all that the Olympic

:35:31. > :35:32.Broadcast Service has said it will only cover 13 out of the 22

:35:33. > :35:36.Paralympic sports because of a We hope to speak to Britain's most

:35:37. > :35:40.successful Paralympian of the modern era, and who is set to compete

:35:41. > :35:43.in her seventh Paralympics. Here to talk to us is Craig Spence,

:35:44. > :35:47.Director of Media and Communications at the International Paralympic

:35:48. > :36:02.Committee. Rosemary Fraser is the campaigns

:36:03. > :36:08.manager at Scope. First of all, Craig, I want to speak to you about

:36:09. > :36:14.this ?90 million that seemingly has gone missing. Where has it gone? We

:36:15. > :36:19.don't know. We have been working with the rear 2016 organising

:36:20. > :36:26.committee for seven years now, and the budget has always been there for

:36:27. > :36:30.the Paralympic Games. Two weeks ago when reopen the 16 informed us we

:36:31. > :36:36.needed to make further cuts to the services we offer, that's when the

:36:37. > :36:41.alarm bells started to ring, we have now looked into the books with the

:36:42. > :36:49.organising committee and effectively we're talking ?75 million needed,

:36:50. > :36:54.for the Games to be at the level they committed. And it's not fair,

:36:55. > :36:57.we're wondering, how can we bring in more revenue and how can we make

:36:58. > :37:03.further cuts to ensure the Games take place with the budget

:37:04. > :37:06.available. As a competitor, does this affect people's preparations

:37:07. > :37:10.for the Games when they are hearing things like, there's not enough

:37:11. > :37:17.money, some nations might turn up and we have only sold 12% of

:37:18. > :37:22.tickets? I think in my opinion, the coaching staff and the Paralympic

:37:23. > :37:28.Association is from those countries that you have mentioned, have to

:37:29. > :37:31.think logically, and they have to continue with the process of

:37:32. > :37:39.training to the best of their ability. And hopefully, that senior

:37:40. > :37:45.people within their positions will bring in that money and make sure

:37:46. > :37:50.that the facilities are there. And at the Games is going to be a

:37:51. > :37:55.fantastic spectacle for the Paralympic athletes mentioned.

:37:56. > :37:59.Craig, how realistic is it that these nations, some of the poorer

:38:00. > :38:02.nations who wait for that money to arrive in their accounts before they

:38:03. > :38:08.broke the plane tickets, how realistic is it that they may not

:38:09. > :38:15.appear, is it just scaremongering? It could happen, unfortunately. We

:38:16. > :38:21.have been committed, some money from the Mayor, and some money from the

:38:22. > :38:24.state-run companies within Brazil. However that still leaves us with a

:38:25. > :38:29.deficit, but with the money coming in, we are optimistic we can start

:38:30. > :38:32.to pay the travel grants which were due to be paid to our national

:38:33. > :38:37.Paralympic committees at the end of July. The problem is, some of the

:38:38. > :38:41.smaller countries don't buy their plane tickets to Rio until the grant

:38:42. > :38:47.drop into their bank accounts. Purchasing tickets to Rio just a

:38:48. > :38:51.matter of days before the opening ceremony would be very expensive

:38:52. > :38:54.indeed and I think it's a real threat that ten countries won't be

:38:55. > :38:58.able to afford to the Games so we are working with them and their

:38:59. > :39:05.governments to see how can bring in extra revenue for them so we can

:39:06. > :39:12.ensure that all 165 countries we want to compete other and lining up.

:39:13. > :39:18.I'm pleased to say we can connect with Dame Sarah Storey, preparing

:39:19. > :39:22.for her seventh Paralympics. I know you haven't heard all our

:39:23. > :39:26.conversations so far, we have been talking about disappointing ticket

:39:27. > :39:32.sales, this ?90 million deficit, does that damage your preparations,

:39:33. > :39:37.is it some kind of distraction? Not at all. As an athlete, you very much

:39:38. > :39:40.train to control the controller balls, things that happen outside

:39:41. > :39:45.your preparations, there's nothing you can do, and your job doesn't

:39:46. > :39:49.change you have to be able to perform to your very best in an

:39:50. > :39:52.empty room. I said this ahead of London, people said you must be

:39:53. > :39:58.excited about four houses and the woman from the crowd, I said

:39:59. > :40:03.absolutely but if it is an empty room. -- the war from the crowd. See

:40:04. > :40:09.don't think it will make a difference if there are empty

:40:10. > :40:12.stadiums? If it does, then you are distracted by the wrong think you

:40:13. > :40:18.have to focus what is happening in your lane, in your event, the crowd

:40:19. > :40:22.can make a difference, especially in a home Games but if the crowds

:40:23. > :40:26.aren't there, that's no excuse if someone would pat you on the head

:40:27. > :40:29.and say you can have a gold medal anyway because they weren't enough

:40:30. > :40:34.people cheering, is the way things are. We have been through tough

:40:35. > :40:42.things before, I know people will work hard and learn lessons from

:40:43. > :40:47.this. Are you disappointed by the situation? I was saying in the

:40:48. > :40:50.introduction that only 13 of the 22 Paralympic sport are going to be

:40:51. > :40:58.televised because of this funding deficit, that must be disappointing?

:40:59. > :41:01.Very disappointing, especially when you consider how little coverage we

:41:02. > :41:08.get in between Paralympic Games, there has been no live coverage at

:41:09. > :41:13.all since the London Games in 2012, so it's hugely disappointed, we have

:41:14. > :41:15.a long way to go from the media perspective, to provide the live

:41:16. > :41:20.feeds of people can take it up in the interim, it's the bonding at the

:41:21. > :41:25.pinnacle of our sport isn't going to be televised. We are unfortunately a

:41:26. > :41:32.little bit used to it now. You have been a huge aspiration to young

:41:33. > :41:37.people, many the cup spot after London 2012, your preparations,

:41:38. > :41:46.presumably feeling quite confident now? -- many the cup spot. I'm

:41:47. > :41:49.putting everything into every single bit of training, I'm looking forward

:41:50. > :41:55.to getting out on the start line. There's quite a lot of pressure,

:41:56. > :41:58.after what Team GB have done at the Olympics, the cycling team, there's

:41:59. > :42:03.probably a bit of expectation but we know you are used to delivering.

:42:04. > :42:06.Pressure is something someone else puts on you, you put your own

:42:07. > :42:10.pressure on yourself, it's about controlling what you can control,

:42:11. > :42:13.you have to be able to perform when you sit in that start gate, on the

:42:14. > :42:18.start line, looking along the track, whatever it is you're event you

:42:19. > :42:22.can't allow those external things to distract you so you have to focus on

:42:23. > :42:26.what you have done in training, no you are well prepared and can do the

:42:27. > :42:32.best performance you can want the race gets underway. Before I let you

:42:33. > :42:35.go, I know you have two get back to that all-important training, but

:42:36. > :42:41.what is the feeling not only amongst cycling Paralympians but the team at

:42:42. > :42:47.large? Is there a sense there are a lot of medals that can be one? Yes,

:42:48. > :42:53.preparation has been the main focus for everybody, always has been, we

:42:54. > :42:57.have been working away for weeks, months, years, to get to the start

:42:58. > :43:00.line in the best shape we can be and when we get there, as the best

:43:01. > :43:04.funded team in the world, there will be a lot of expectation and

:43:05. > :43:09.hopefully everyone has prepared enough to be able to deliver.

:43:10. > :43:16.Hopefully we will speak to you as and when you win a Paralympic medal!

:43:17. > :43:24.Award to bring in Rosemary we were talking about how well London did at

:43:25. > :43:27.engaging young people, filling stadiums, giving Paralympic sport a

:43:28. > :43:32.platform. How frustrated are you at what we are hearing? It's incredibly

:43:33. > :43:36.frustrating, thought we had cracked this. We did well at Beijing, London

:43:37. > :43:41.was tremendous and now we are hearing this. It is sad for the

:43:42. > :43:44.athletes who have trained so hard, who may not get there to compete,

:43:45. > :43:50.especially from those smaller nations. That's more important

:43:51. > :43:53.because it really helps in terms of thinking about how people view

:43:54. > :44:00.disabled people more widely in society. Unfortunately I wonder if

:44:01. > :44:05.this is what happens with disabled people, we forgotten about. I don't

:44:06. > :44:11.make any difference between watching disabled and non-disabled athletes,

:44:12. > :44:18.to me, I win is a win. So I think it's really disappointing. Is it

:44:19. > :44:24.part of this Olympic overspend, it saying, it's only the Paralympics,

:44:25. > :44:26.we can take money away? Unfortunately it feels like that, I

:44:27. > :44:32.remember people saying, isn't it nice that those liberal go and

:44:33. > :44:40.compete, like they had just decided they were going to do it the week

:44:41. > :44:43.before, people don't understand the dedication and just the sheer hard

:44:44. > :44:50.work that goes into training to compete at this level. We need to

:44:51. > :44:58.see more and more disabled people in sport, also more widely, and I think

:44:59. > :45:05.this really helps. It will help with funding, as we see with the success

:45:06. > :45:11.of the cyclists, the funding they have received, if disabled sport

:45:12. > :45:12.isn't getting that in the media, it won't flourish, younger disabled

:45:13. > :45:23.people need those role models. Mark, you were a role member to some

:45:24. > :45:26.of those younger people. As a Paralympian, you have to train

:45:27. > :45:31.harder than the Olympians? I think going back to what the lady said

:45:32. > :45:37.regarding funding, what that gives the individual or the athlete, as

:45:38. > :45:43.Sarah Storey said earlier, to focus 100% on the process. The process for

:45:44. > :45:48.an athlete, able-bodied or disabled is that they can actually focus on

:45:49. > :45:54.training for instance, 25, 28, even 30 a week. Then letting the body

:45:55. > :45:59.rest. Obviously when the body rests, that's when the magic happens. Then

:46:00. > :46:04.they can set aside any other stress that will be related to their lives,

:46:05. > :46:07.for instance. That's why certainly over the last two or three

:46:08. > :46:11.Paralympic Games, that's why Paralympics GB naturally has done so

:46:12. > :46:20.well. Because that funding has allowed the individual to train 100%

:46:21. > :46:24.of their time and focus on that goal of bringing back that gold medal

:46:25. > :46:28.from the Olympiad. Cregg, do you want to pick up on the point

:46:29. > :46:32.Rosemary made that she feels like, because its Paralympic sport, the

:46:33. > :46:38.Olympics can make a bit of their money, it doesn't matter, it's not

:46:39. > :46:42.as important? I think this is just the Rio 2016 organising committee.

:46:43. > :46:46.We saw it with Beijing, London, and we are seeing it with Tokyo, an

:46:47. > :46:53.integrated budget where they treat both games equally. The Paralympic

:46:54. > :46:57.Games has got a fantastic reputation for changing attitudes to

:46:58. > :47:03.impairment. We saw with London 2012, one in ten people in the UK changed

:47:04. > :47:10.attitudes towards people with a disability. Although we've only got

:47:11. > :47:15.13 sports being broadcast live from Rio, we will have more broadcasters

:47:16. > :47:19.than others showing pictures to 100 countries, we are expecting a TV

:47:20. > :47:22.audience of 4 million people. We believe although we have these

:47:23. > :47:25.issues with the organising committee, these games will make

:47:26. > :47:32.more impact than ever before and further cement our position for

:47:33. > :47:34.driving social inclusion. It's not all negative, there are some

:47:35. > :47:41.positives to come out of these games, to. Is there anyway you could

:47:42. > :47:45.appeal to the organisers in Rio and say, if we've only sold 12% of

:47:46. > :47:49.tickets, go up to the favelas and give out tickets, let's fill those

:47:50. > :47:54.stadiums for free so they are packed and it gives that real atmosphere?

:47:55. > :47:57.The problem we have at the moment is the cost the organising committee

:47:58. > :48:01.has this budget problem, we are having to reduce staffing levels and

:48:02. > :48:05.cap the amount of people we can get into the stadium safely. So the

:48:06. > :48:11.tickets for the Paralympics are very reasonably priced anyway. They are

:48:12. > :48:16.effectively ?2 50 for the tickets. So they are accessible. We are

:48:17. > :48:20.working on how we can bring more people into the venues. We want

:48:21. > :48:24.passionate crowds supporting the Paralympics like we saw in Beijing,

:48:25. > :48:28.like we saw in London, and like we will see in Tokyo will stop we are

:48:29. > :48:35.trying everything at the moment to ensure these games are the best they

:48:36. > :48:42.can be. Best of luck. I appreciate you taking the time to speak with

:48:43. > :48:45.us. Still to come, Usain Bolt heads for a record-breaking treble triple.

:48:46. > :48:52.He's got his eighth gold and is speaking to his ninth. We'll look at

:48:53. > :48:53.some of his best moments. And we look ahead to what we can expect

:48:54. > :48:56.from Team GB later today. A new survey of over 1,000 parents

:48:57. > :48:59.suggests more than half let their children drink before

:49:00. > :49:02.they turn 14 - and that one in three admit that they use

:49:03. > :49:04.alcohol as a bribe. It's not illegal to let a child

:49:05. > :49:07.between the ages of five and 16 drink at home -

:49:08. > :49:09.but is it right? Joining us now via web-cam

:49:10. > :49:11.is journalist Anne Atkins - the author of "Child Rearing

:49:12. > :49:17.for Fun: Trust Your Instincts and Enjoy Your Children";

:49:18. > :49:22.and Dr Martin Scurr, a GP a GP with almost 40 years'

:49:23. > :49:32.experience. Egg as a parent, would you let your

:49:33. > :49:38.children drink? Are you asking me? Yes, absolutely? Yes, we have let

:49:39. > :49:43.our children drink at home. If I give you an example, our youngest is

:49:44. > :49:48.13. She's not actually at all interested in alcohol as it happens

:49:49. > :49:53.but if we have some bubbly for some reason comes she is always offered

:49:54. > :49:57.some. She hardly ever has any but maybe two or three times a year she

:49:58. > :50:06.has a few teaspoons full of bubbly at Christmas or whatever it may be.

:50:07. > :50:09.And I think that is, well, obviously it's healthy, good funding to do,

:50:10. > :50:15.otherwise I wouldn't do it. What I do passionately believe is that the

:50:16. > :50:18.parents are the people to judge this kind of thing. Of course it is

:50:19. > :50:21.alarming to think of parents giving alcohol as a bride but that could

:50:22. > :50:25.mean all sorts of things. It could mean you've passed during sums,

:50:26. > :50:31.let's open a bottle of per second. It very much depends how the

:50:32. > :50:36.question was asked. But we have to acknowledge is that blues is a huge

:50:37. > :50:40.problem in our society now. Not just amongst teenagers and young people,

:50:41. > :50:43.but middle-aged, middle-class, all sorts of us are drinking too much

:50:44. > :50:49.and we do have to take that on board. But I do think the law is

:50:50. > :50:55.right on this. And I don't think this is necessarily cause for alarm.

:50:56. > :50:59.Let's bring Martin in and get a GP perspective on this. What do you

:51:00. > :51:05.make of this? I think views have changed in recent times. Modern

:51:06. > :51:10.neuroscience has taught us that the brain is very vulnerable in young

:51:11. > :51:13.teenagers. In the past I would have let my children drink but I've

:51:14. > :51:19.changed my tune on this because we now know that neural connections are

:51:20. > :51:21.being made in the brain in the 11, 12, 13-year-old group, and these are

:51:22. > :51:27.vulnerable and can easily be damaged. And so I really feel that

:51:28. > :51:31.we are beginning to gain some better object of understanding of the

:51:32. > :51:36.potential harm that can come from it. And although I respect Hannah's

:51:37. > :51:41.reviews and I share her view that parents have to decide, I think we

:51:42. > :51:44.now need to adhere to the advice of the Chief Medical Officer and

:51:45. > :51:49.restrict alcohol to children over 16, and be very careful with younger

:51:50. > :51:53.children. Even though there is perhaps a case made for teaching

:51:54. > :51:59.them a little bit about caution and being careful about those sorts of

:52:00. > :52:03.experiences. We had a couple of comments coming in that I want to

:52:04. > :52:06.put to you. Robin sent an e-mail saying children on the continent

:52:07. > :52:10.have a glass of wine with a meal at the same time as their parents, this

:52:11. > :52:15.has been the norm for hundreds of years and nothing terrible has

:52:16. > :52:18.happened to them? I understand that, culturally, particularly on the

:52:19. > :52:23.continent, small amounts of wine they looted with water have always

:52:24. > :52:29.been a social phenomenon. -- diluted with. Now we know that some children

:52:30. > :52:34.are more vulnerable than others and that addiction is a potential

:52:35. > :52:39.problem of anyone exposed to alcohol or any other drug that is active in

:52:40. > :52:42.the brain, and alcohol is the most ubiquitous and most commonly used

:52:43. > :52:46.drug that affects the brain in teenagers. Now we know that I think

:52:47. > :52:52.we have to respond with greater caution and not just take a note out

:52:53. > :52:56.of past history here. Let me read this comment to you, I'm sure you'll

:52:57. > :53:00.agree. Richard my upbringing around alcohol was liberal and I've seen

:53:01. > :53:03.photos of myself sipping drinks at a very young age. It was felt

:53:04. > :53:07.demystifying the subject would allow me to have a more relaxed and

:53:08. > :53:10.responsible attitude towards drink and I guess it must have worked

:53:11. > :53:14.because as an adult I've never felt the need to go out and drink as much

:53:15. > :53:19.as possible in one night and I don't drink often these days, I can just

:53:20. > :53:21.take it or leave it. Do you equally take on board what Martin is saying

:53:22. > :53:27.about the dangers of young children drinking? Yes, very much, and he

:53:28. > :53:31.knows far more about this than I do. And yes it's very interesting and

:53:32. > :53:35.important knowledge. And of course we must make that information

:53:36. > :53:40.available to people. And I take it very seriously indeed. Because he is

:53:41. > :53:44.the expert here and I am not. I think what I would say is that when

:53:45. > :53:47.we overreact to things, and I'm not for a moment saying that Martin is

:53:48. > :53:54.overreacting, I don't think it's necessarily helpful. And I think I

:53:55. > :53:58.found as a young teenager, I mean my father always had a glass of sherry

:53:59. > :54:01.before supper and I was never offered any and I think I grew up

:54:02. > :54:05.with this mystique about alcohol which made it difficult for me. It

:54:06. > :54:08.made it difficult for me to turn it down when I go to university,

:54:09. > :54:12.whereas I didn't have any difficulty turning down fattening foods or

:54:13. > :54:18.anything like that. That's only an anecdote of one, and I have not

:54:19. > :54:21.become an alcoholic. So I think all sorts of approaches can be

:54:22. > :54:26.appropriate. For instance it's interesting that now it's very much

:54:27. > :54:29.frowned upon for pregnant women to have any alcohol. And my

:54:30. > :54:33.understanding is that there is no medical evidence that says pregnant

:54:34. > :54:38.women shouldn't have a glass of wine on the weekend. But we seem to have

:54:39. > :54:41.gone a bit extreme because of the abuses that there are, and those

:54:42. > :54:46.abuses are very real and very horrible. Going to many towns on a

:54:47. > :54:49.Friday night and it is disgusting. Let's get Martin to respond to that

:54:50. > :54:54.point just about pregnant women, I think it is important we clarify

:54:55. > :54:59.that? I think that the current regulation which is that pregnant

:55:00. > :55:02.women shouldn't trick at all has to be adhered to. Because different

:55:03. > :55:05.people have different susceptibilities. And although the

:55:06. > :55:10.feet of alcohol syndrome is recognised as being a feature of

:55:11. > :55:15.large amounts of alcohol, the view medically now is that the only way

:55:16. > :55:19.forward is none. Because levels change, people change their

:55:20. > :55:23.attitudes, and it's far better to just say do not drink at all. I

:55:24. > :55:28.really think we should adhere to that with pregnant women. Those tiny

:55:29. > :55:33.newborn babies that are still in the womb, an born baby still in the

:55:34. > :55:35.womb, may be highly susceptible. We just don't know. There have not been

:55:36. > :55:40.enough studies to tell us whether there is harm from even quite small

:55:41. > :55:43.amounts of alcohol. So better to play it safe. Thank you both for

:55:44. > :55:46.joining us. I appreciate you speaking to us today.

:55:47. > :55:50.Now - who says presenting by a beautiful beach in Rio is easy?

:55:51. > :55:53.Last night one of BBC's Olympic presenters Dan Walker was giving

:55:54. > :55:56.a round up of the day's sporting action when people on social media

:55:57. > :56:00.asked him what was going on in the background.

:56:01. > :56:06.For those asking what's going on in the background, we will not zoom in,

:56:07. > :56:10.but rest assured it's not bad. It's just a hug. There are reading a

:56:11. > :56:15.book. Apparently they are reading a book. They are reading a book in a

:56:16. > :56:22.strange pose, OK? It's merely a book. We will find out what the book

:56:23. > :56:25.is, maybe, a little bit later on. Bless him, sound terrified.

:56:26. > :56:27.This isn't the first time Dan has been interrupted -

:56:28. > :56:31.Last week it was by a Brazilian hen party live on air.

:56:32. > :56:38.So much live athletics on the way on BBC One. Let's see what's going on

:56:39. > :56:45.over here, it seems like a hen do. There they go. A Brazilian hen

:56:46. > :56:52.party. They are clearly enjoying themselves. They seem to be all tied

:56:53. > :56:53.together as well. Magnificent scenes. Maybe that's how you do it

:56:54. > :56:59.in Brazil. Now Team GB success is set

:57:00. > :57:02.to continue with yet more medals already guaranteed

:57:03. > :57:04.in hockey and boxing. The question is what

:57:05. > :57:05.colour they'll be. Mike Bushell can tell us

:57:06. > :57:10.what to look out for. Usain Bolt has already won gold

:57:11. > :57:13.in the 100 metres and 200 metres, but can he help Team

:57:14. > :57:16.Jamaica to the top spot That would secure him the incredible

:57:17. > :57:26.triple triple gold in all three The Team GB women's hockey team

:57:27. > :57:32.reach their first Olympics final with a superb 3-0 victory

:57:33. > :57:35.over New Zealand. Now they will take on defending

:57:36. > :57:40.champions the Netherlands to battle it out for

:57:41. > :57:45.the ultimate prize. Superheavyweight boxer Joe Joyce has

:57:46. > :57:47.guaranteed himself a medal, He will be looking to emulate

:57:48. > :57:51.the success of his former sparring partner Anthony Joshua,

:57:52. > :57:53.who won gold at London 2012, And fresh from winning bronze

:57:54. > :58:04.with Daniel Goodfellow in the ten metres synchro diving,

:58:05. > :58:07.Tom Daley returns to the pool today. He won individual

:58:08. > :58:20.bronze at London 2012, BBC newsroom live coming up next.

:58:21. > :58:22.Thank you for your company today. Have a great weekend.
