It's Friday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Chloe Tilley in for Victoria - | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
And 'lightning Bolt' is still the fastest man | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
Jamaica's Usain Bolt is now just one final away | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
from the "triple triple" - three golds from three | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
I am getting older, I am not as young and fresh but it is just one | :00:25. | :00:36. | |
of those things. I am excited that I got the gold medal. That is the key | :00:37. | :00:37. | |
thing. Jade Jones retains her | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Olympic Taekwondo title. I am Mark Cavendish back in London | :00:41. | :00:51. | |
with my silver medal to talk about what it is like to represent Team | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
GB. John O'Neill, the man who has been | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
ordered to give police 24 hours notice before he has sex, | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
talks to us exclusively about why he's been reduced to living | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
in the woods and whether the ban It is not as much of a culture shock | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
for me as it might be to somebody else. I have no control over what | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
happens and I am not optimistic. We also want to hear from you this | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
morning if you let your children Or maybe you would never | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
encourage your under-age Do get in touch on all the stories | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
we're talking about this morning. Use the hashtag Victoria live | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
and remember, if you text, you will be charged | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
at the standard network rate. Let's get the latest | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
on the Olympics. Quite frankly, did we have any doubt | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
at all that Usain Bolt was going to do this? Well, you would not bet | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
against them. We really have to tip our hats to Usain Bolt. Another | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
incredible performance for him. We may never see an athlete like Usain | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Bolt again. He won the 200 metres in 19.78 seconds, meaning he is the | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
first person to win Olympic gold over 100 and 200 metres at three | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
straight Olympics. The 29-year-old says that maybe his final race of | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
the distance. If Jamaica when the relay tomorrow morning, he will | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
record an unprecedented treble trouble, meaning his ninth Olympic | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
gold medal. He has won every Olympic final he has appeared in. Spare a | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
thought for Adam Gemili, also in that race and who finished fourth. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
He missed out on a bronze medal by two thousandths of a second. He said | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
he was gutted after words, having gone all the way through four years | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
of training, to miss out by such a small margin. By contrast those | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
emotions with those of Jade Jones, another Olympic tae kwon do gold | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
medal for her. It came in the under 57 kilograms category. A superb | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
display. She beat her biggest rival in a tough final. But the | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
23-year-old took it 16-7. Two head kicks in the final round sealing the | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
gold medal. She is only the third British e-mail to retain an | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
individual title after Charlotte Dujardin and Laura Trott. Let's hear | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
what she had to say. I didn't actually realise how much pressure | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
it would be. Until today, I thought, it is a lot of pressure. I put | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
pressure on myself. I know I am the best but in tae kwon do it does not | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
always work like that. I wanted to win so much. I have trained so hard | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
for four years. I just wanted to win and to finally do it was amazing. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
And it was not just Jade Jones, you can always rely on the Brownlee | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
brothers. A fantastic performance from them. They were very close on | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
the swim and the bike but Alistair pulled away during the running. He | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
was able to walk over the line, in fact. And he shared a moment of | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
congratulation, but also exhaustion, as you can see, with his younger | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
brother, after the finish line. Let's hear what they had to say | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
after their amazing 1-2. This year, training has been so hard. I have | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
finished so many sessions basically trying to keep up with Johnny. I | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
have hardly been able to sleep at night because my legs hurt so much. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
And then getting up the next morning, dragging myself out of bed | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
and doing it all over again. Does he always complain? I love it, it is | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
what I love doing. A third gold for Team GB 24 hours later in the | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
ceiling. Anna Mills and Saskia Clark, they had to wait an extra day | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
because there was no wind on the lagoon. But the moment came and they | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
relished it. All they had to do was finish their race in the 470 sailing | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
class. They improved on their second-place four years ago at | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
London. Add that to a silver for John Scofield, and a first badminton | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
medal in the men's doubles for Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge. | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
More to come, what to look forward to. The women's hockey team will go | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
for gold, taking on the double defending champions, the | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Netherlands, in the final. It starts at nine o'clock this evening. That | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
will be on BBC One in full, the first Olympic final for the women. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
They looked in strong form as they beat New Zealand in the semifinal. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
And Nicola Adams could become the first British boxer to retain an | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Olympic title for 92 years. She will go in the final of the women's | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
flyweight competition, either gold or silver for her. That fight will | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
be on Saturday evening so fingers crossed that Team GB do well over | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
the next few days. And we will be talking about Nicola Adams over the | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
next half-hour. Let's get a summary of the day 's news. | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
A boy has died after being bitten by a dog in Halstead, | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
A 29-year-old woman has been arrested for allowing a dog to be | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
The United States Olympic Committee has apologised to the organisers | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
of the Rio Olympics, and the people of Brazil, | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
for the behaviour of a group of swimmers. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
The four, who include the gold medallist Ryan Lochte, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Brazilian police say they lied to cover up | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
Gold-medal winners leaving the Games in disgrace. | :06:44. | :06:53. | |
Swimmers Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger were questioned | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
for four hours over charges that they and two teammates | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
vandalised a petrol station and then falsely claimed they had | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
At a Games when crimes against athletes have caused | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
concern, the fake story has made people in Rio angry. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
It was this man, Ryan Lochte, seen here winning gold for the US | :07:11. | :07:22. | |
200 metres relay team, who claimed they had been mugged | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
by robbers posing as police officers. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
But the story unravelled when police studied CCTV pictures. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
What really happened, they said, was that a drunk Ryan Lochte | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
and three others stopped to use the toilet at a petrol station | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
but when it was closed they lost their temper, smashed | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
A security guard then pulled a gun on them and told them to calm down | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
Footage from the athletes' village saw them returning in good spirits | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
Team USA has released a statement saying: | :07:54. | :08:07. | |
Lochte returned to the US on Monday where reaction has been | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
and threatens to overshadow all his achievements in the water. | :08:11. | :08:22. | |
A senior member of the International Olympic Committee, Patrick Hickey, | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
has temporarily stepped down after being arrested in Brazil over | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
the suspected illegal sale of tickets for the Rio Games. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Mr Hickey, who's from Ireland, has also stepped aside from his role | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
as president of the European Olympic Committees. | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
Brazilian police claim he was involved in a scheme | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
to pass tickets to touts, who sold them at inflated prices | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Yesterday we heard calls for a post Rio Olympic Games in Britain. | :08:41. | :08:56. | |
Support is growing and Sadiq Khan says he is keen for a parade to take | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
place. You will be speaking to the government and Olympic sports chiefs | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
to find the best way of celebrating the achievements of British | :09:07. | :09:07. | |
competitors. A man under a court order to tell | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
police 24 hours before he has sexual contact with anyone for the first | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
time, will today find out if the legal direction will be | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
extended for up to five years. John O'Neill, from York, | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
was cleared of rape last year, but North Yorkshire Police asked | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
a judge to impose an interim Mr O'Neill says it is | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
so wide-ranging that he is unable A district judge at York Magistrates | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
will now decide whether to lift The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
has declined to say if he would give military support to a fellow NATO | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
country if it were In the latest leadership debate | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
with rival Owen Smith, Mr Corbyn said he wanted a world | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
where there is "no need" to go to war - he also emphasised the | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
importance of diplomatic solutions. Owen Smith said the NATO treaty | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
requires all members Half of parents with children under | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
the age of 14 allow them to drink alcohol at home, | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
according to a new survey. The research, by a leading insurance | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
company, spoke to more than 1,000 people and found that many of them | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
were ignoring medical advice. It also found that a third | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
of parents with children under 14 used alcohol as a bribe | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
to encourage good behaviour. The UN has finally acknowledged | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
that it contributed to a cholera outbreak in Haiti in 2010 that | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
killed around 10,000 people. The United Nations had always denied | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
any responsibility for the epidemic, despite scientific studies | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
repeatedly showing that Nepalese UN troops were the source | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
of the disease. However it still says it's protected | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
by diplomatic immunity from claims for compensation | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
from victims' families. The International Paralympic | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
Committee will reveal more details later about the financial problems | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
facing the Games. Overnight, Brazil's President's | :10:48. | :10:57. | |
Chief of Staff said funding for the Paralympics in Rio | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
would be guaranteed. Our disability correspondent | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
Nikki Fox reports. In just 19 days, the Paralympics | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
will get under way in Rio. But instead of excitement, | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
there is uncertainty. Vital travel grants have not yet | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
been paid to athletes around the world, putting some | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
countries at real risk of not I don't think the IPC has ever faced | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
this situation in the 56 year history of the Paralympic Games, | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
especially with 19 days to go. Even with additional funding | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
that we have been promised, we will still have to look | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
at how we can make cuts. A court order that prevented more | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
public money being spent on the Paralympics | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
has now been lifted. However, that injection | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
of ?56 million is still not enough. We've worked just as hard | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
as the Olympians for the same British athletes like | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
Jordanne Whiley aren't worried about getting to the Games, | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
it's what happens or doesn't happen When I get to Rio, I want to be able | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
to play against everyone that has qualified and I think | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
if people didn't go, if nations didn't go, | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
I think the nobility of the Games The Olympics haven't | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
exactly been a sell-out. But with ticket sales | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
for the Paralympics at just 12%, it's looking like we might be seeing | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
even more empty seats. Around a hundred water voles | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
are being released into the wild They were once commonly found | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
in the British countryside, but are now one of our | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
most endangered species. Ecologists from the National Trust | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
will release the rare mammals into the waters of Malham Tarn, | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
England's highest freshwater lake. That's a summary of the latest BBC | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
News - more at 9.30. So another amazing day at Rio | :12:50. | :12:58. | |
and over the next two hours we'll have plenty of reaction | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
to Usain Bolt's latest win and the continued | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
success of Team GB. As we've been hearing, our tally | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
of gold medals now stands at 22, thanks to Jade Jones's | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
win in Taekwondo. We'll also be speaking to former | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
Olympians Diane Modahl and Derek Before that we're going to hear | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
from Mark Cavendish. Here's a reminder of the moment | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
he finally won an Olympic medal Mark Cavendish scoops up the final | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
point on offer which makes sure that he has the silver medal for Great | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
Britain. After all the effort and after all the Olympic heartache, | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Mark Cavendish as an Olympic medal. It is a silver one and it is a | :13:47. | :13:47. | |
richly deserve one. Mark Cavendish! So, congratulations first of all and | :13:48. | :14:19. | |
welcome back. Relief, happiness, how are you feeling about that amazing | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
silver medal? I am really happy with that. It is my third Olympics and I | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
have finally got a medal. It took a lot. I was talking yesterday and it | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
was hard to believe that just a few weeks ago I was writing in the to | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
France, and then it completely changed and I was in the velodrome, | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
competing in the Olympics. It is so different, in just a couple of | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
weeks. Representing Great Britain is such an honour. And the Olympics is | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
the biggest thing, the best way to do that. To come away with a medal, | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
following the success of the Hall of Team GB this year, it is quite an | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
honour. How difficult is it to go from the likes of the tour to France | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
to the velodrome? Although it is all bikes, it's a bit | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
like saying Andy Murray would go and play squash, it's a racket sport but | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
it's not the same. We are on bicycles but it's even different | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
muscles you are using. It was hard to do but I've kind of been working | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
towards it for two years, training, I'm a professional road rider, and | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
that's my day job. And just in between that trying to keep the | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
velodrome going with a chance of winning at the Olympics. It was hard | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
to do but worth it in the end. Did you put a lot of pressure on | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
yourself ahead of this? It was the one medal you didn't have, and | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
you've been to these other games. Do you put pressure on yourself or can | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
you separate it? I actually do put pressure on myself but I thrive off | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
that. I have the best group of people around me. My family has been | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
massively important. My wife has pretty much been a single mum with | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
three kids while I've been away. The guys at British cycling to let me | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
come in and put the timing to me when I don't live in Manchester | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
where the British team is based, I had to go over there to drop in, and | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
they gave the time up to help me and that the re-sources behind it, as | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
they did with everybody. But I'm very fortunate to be in that | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
position, and that made it easier for me to do this, really. And we've | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
got to talk about the crash. You know we've got to talk about the | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
crash. Everybody has been talking about it. I know you apologise to | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
one of the riders you took out. Talk us through, presumably you had no | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
idea what was going on? You don't know what was going on. At the end | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
of the day you will not intentionally crash. I'm a | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
professional bike rider, I know what it is like to crash. I would not put | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
somebody in danger, especially somebody I like, a good bike ride. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
He wasn't in a medal position, it would have no bearing if I did | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
something to him anyway. But yeah, I spoke to him and he was all right | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
about it. I'm glad he's all right, really. Obviously I get asked | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
questions. It was a basic mistake on my part, it was my fault. But it was | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
a mistake that unfortunately happens in cycling. And those bikes can go | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
pretty easily. We've seen clips throughout the games. The thing is | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
you got no breaks, you've got one gear, you can't stop pedalling. And | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
you don't have a run-off like you do in the road. So you are overlapping | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
a bit and there's not really anything to go on, and because you | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
are going round in circles, constantly looking behind, so yeah, | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
things happen in a split second, really. GB cycling has been | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
fantastic for years now, and it's the one thing we go into the games | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
and say, yeah, we're going to get some gold and silver is here. But | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
every member of Team GB cycling team has won a medal at these games which | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
has been incredible, and there has been some sour grapes from other | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
nations. That again has been blown out of proportion, it's the | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
Olympics, you are going to make big stories about it. I think every | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
member won either gold or silver. Which is incredible. It shows the | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
strength. A lot of people question how we pick it up for the Olympics | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
top white that's what Anna Mears was saying. She says, we all scratch our | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
heads saying, how do they left it in so many events when they haven't | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
even been in contention in the World Championships? The Olympics come | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
along, I'm not exactly sure how they've got it together. I don't | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
really think she's insinuating anything. She's not insinuating you | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
are on drugs or cheating or anything, but is it literally that | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
you care about nothing but the games? Absolutely. We have a plan | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
for every four years. It's what we are funded for. And although the | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
World Championships is important, I think other nations put the emphasis | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
as much as the Olympic Games, GB does. We have the world track | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
Championships in March this year, at home in London, so it was a big | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
World Championships for us, but we use our second-rate equipment, we | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
use our second-rate clothing. Even stuff that is eight years old, stuff | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
we were using before Beijing. And why, to keep the really good stuff | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
of the games? Xavier, if we learn to compete with the separate equipment | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
-- exactly, if we learn to compete with that equipment, and then we go | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
to the Olympic Games and all of a sudden we are peaking. There's a lot | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
of stuff about, should I go to the Olympics because I was only six in | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
the Omni at the World Championships. I said since January, I can't win | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
the world, but I can win the Olympics, it's in August. That's | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
what we do as a nation in cycling, we peak for August every four years. | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
Is it true those shoes cost thousands of pounds? Yeah, I don't | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
know, really. I'm with Nike anyway. Good plug. I was talking to you just | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
before we came in, you are competing this weekend? Supposed to be racing | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
in Germany. I heard yesterday I might not be going but I flew back | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
because it is back to the day job. Could you do another four-year | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
cycle? Are you saying you'd be looking at going to Tokyo? I race | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
from January to November every year anyway, professional road cyclists, | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
it's kind of like football, we have a season. I have two more years of | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
contract with my team, so I will be going at least two more years. One | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
thing I cannot do is balance road and track again. I don't know if the | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
road race would suit me in Tokyo, probably not. But then if I'm still | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
competing as a professional on the road it might be difficult. It took | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
a lot of energy to do it. And let's talk about Rio, I was fortunate | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
enough to be there, and incredible place. Always difficult to compare | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
to London because of home games, but what did you make of the whole | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
atmosphere there? After London, in the city will have a hard job | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
matching that and it will always be compared, unfortunately. And it was | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
not as well-organised as London. But one thing we were looking at, the | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
POA, they really looked after the British athletes. It was really | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
comfortable for us. And when you are living in that bubble you don't | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
really see anything else. I didn't see much more of Rio. It was a bit | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
hard getting into the Olympic Park. Nobody really knew what was going | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
on. It took us a week to find out how to get to the velodrome. We go | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
to the pedestrian entrance and they'd say, you can't come in, | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
you've got bikes, so we would go to the car entrance, and they said, you | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
can't come in, you've got bikes, so you had to befriend a security | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
guard. Is that the distraction, joking aside? It's all right. That's | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
kind of what Latin America is about, it's just quite relaxed. I think | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
once you get used that was OK. I had a brilliant time there. And | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
incredibly proud thing to represent Great Britain at the Olympics. For | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
me that was the biggest thing regardless of where I was. Did you | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
get to see any other events? No. Didn't see anything actually. I was | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
training for my event. There was a bit of click bait stuff going on, I | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
did not even go to see the other track guys competing before me, but | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
mine was one of the last track event so I have to rest up. And what about | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
the whole of Team GB? Cycling clearly had an incredible | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
achievement there. But also the whole team, presumably you feed off | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
each other when you hear somebody else wins a medal? It was brilliant. | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
We stayed in these big apartment blocks in the village. So Team GB | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
have a whole want to themselves. They had these lifts that took ages. | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
And by the time they come they are full of people who have been waiting | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
ages. By the end of it we got in and even if we didn't know the athletes, | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
we were best off saying congratulations because chances were | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
they'd won medal anyway. I think everybody really thrived of success. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Second in the medal table is phenomenal. It's incredible, isn't | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
it? 22 gold medals. I think we are only about eight medals off the haul | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
at London. I think the amount of different sports we have had success | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
at as well. In terms of different sports we would be highest in the | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
medal table as well, which is pretty impressive as well. Shows what a | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
diverse country we are at producing the best champions in the world. | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
Brilliant. Thanks. Thanks for having me. | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
Lots of you getting in touch on Twitter saying all credit to an | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
amazing athlete. The media need to celebrate him and not pick holes. | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
Paul got in touch. Cav really down to earth, good to see. This one says | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
Mark Cavendish is a top man and it always pays to thank his team-mates | :25:02. | :25:02. | |
and those involved. Nicola Adams is guaranteed | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
at least a silver medal, after reaching the final | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
of the fly weight boxing. She's defending the title | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
she won in 2012, when she became the first female | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
Olympic Boxing champion. She beat a familar rival | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
in the semi-finals, in Ren Cancan, the Chinese woman, whom she defeated | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
to win gold at the London Games. Adams won with a unanimous points | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
decision, and will face France's, 10-time national champion | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
Sarah Oarrah-moo-oon, won a world title in 2015 | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
and represented GB at Great to speak to you. What do you | :25:39. | :25:53. | |
make of Nicola? She gets so much press attention, doesn't she? She's | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
such a role model to so many young people. Yeah, I think she's a credit | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
to the sport. She's really put her name on the map. And it just gives | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
young females goals to achieve. I think that she will defend her | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
Olympic medal. I think she's going to win gold. She's an incredible | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
athlete and a real champion to the sports. You can see real | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
similarities between her and Jade Jones who won tae kwon do gold | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
yesterday. Nicola Adams hasn't turned up for anything except gold. | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
No, I mean, she trains with the lads up at GB. She's got that winning | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
mentality. I think that's what takes her where she is at. She's a very, | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
very skilled boxer. She can fight on the inside. I think she's the one to | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
beat. If anybody is going to beat heard they've got to be on their | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
game to have a chance. It is interesting that you say that she | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
trains with the blokes. I was reading yesterday that she says to | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
keep herself sharp to fight other women, she enjoys fighting men | :27:03. | :27:04. | |
because generally they are quicker and it keeps her at the top of her | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
game. It's not only that, it's probably finding a lady that's going | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
to push as hard as the men. I don't think there is in England, to be | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
honest. I think that she's clearly our number one. So all our hopes are | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
on her for the gold medal. So basically I think that she's | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
definitely guaranteed gold. I don't want this to sound patronising, but | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
do men find it difficult to fight against the likes of Nicola Adams? | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
While there are lots of things, they do with her in the ring. Personally | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
myself I wouldn't really want to get in there and two with her. But I've | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
heard a few rumours. And that sounds like a glitch unfortunately. How | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
frustrating. We will try to reconnect that line. I think we are | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
going to fail to do that. We will try to reconnect. In the meantime, | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
massive night for Usain Bolt. Usain Bolt heads for a record | :28:07. | :28:08. | |
breaking 'triple triple' of Olympic medals - | :28:09. | :28:10. | |
he's got his eighth Gold and is speeding to his ninth - | :28:11. | :28:12. | |
we talk about his remarkable And after ten - we look at the study | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
suggesting that half of all parents let their under 14 year old children | :28:16. | :28:24. | |
drink at home - we bring we bring you the opposing views | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
on each side of this tricky debate. Hugh is not ready either | :28:29. | :28:44. | |
unfortunately. Can we go to the newsroom? I don't think we can at | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
the moment, if I'm honest we are about a minute and a half early | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
because we were trying to speak to Billy Joe Saunders whose line has | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
dropped for us at the moment. I would be interested to get your | :28:58. | :29:00. | |
thoughts on drinking because there is this study which has come out | :29:01. | :29:07. | |
which says that over half of parents in the UK allow under 14-year-olds | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
to junk alcohol. Is that something you would allow them to do? Is it a | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
little sip of yours or would you say no. Now we can get the early | :29:16. | :29:23. | |
newsroom summary, so I appreciate that. | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
Police say a boy has died after being bitten by a dog. | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
Officers say a 29-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control. | :29:37. | :29:38. | |
We'll bring you further details as we get them. | :29:39. | :29:46. | |
The United States Olympic Committee has apologised to the organisers | :29:47. | :29:48. | |
of the Rio Olympics, and the people of Brazil, | :29:49. | :29:50. | |
for the behaviour of a group of swimmers. | :29:51. | :29:53. | |
The four, who include the gold medallist Ryan Lochte, | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
Brazilian police say they lied to cover up an act of vandalism | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
On this programme yesterday we heard calls for a post | :30:01. | :30:10. | |
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has said he is keen | :30:11. | :30:16. | |
He said he was speaking to the government and Olympic | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
and Paralympic sports chiefs to find the best way of celebrating | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
the achievements of British competitors. | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
If I have my way, yes, but we've got to talk to the government and the | :30:26. | :30:33. | |
Olympic and Paralympic chiefs. I'm optimistic. So what's important is | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
that we've obviously got the Paralympics coming up, I'm really | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
excited about that as well. And we celebrate our heroes returning from | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
Rio, the Olympians and Paralympian. A man under a court order to tell | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
police 24 hours before he has sexual contact with anyone for the first | :30:50. | :30:52. | |
time, will today find out if the legal direction will be | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
extended for up to five years. John O'Neill, from York, | :30:56. | :30:58. | |
was cleared of rape last year, but North Yorkshire Police asked | :30:59. | :31:00. | |
a judge to impose an interim Mr O'Neill says it is | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
so wide-ranging that he is unable A district judge at York Magistrates | :31:04. | :31:07. | |
will now decide whether to lift Half of parents with children under | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
the age of 14 allow them to drink alcohol at home, | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
according to a new survey. The research, by a leading insurance | :31:17. | :31:18. | |
company, spoke to more than 1,000 people and found that many of them | :31:19. | :31:21. | |
were ignoring medical advice. It also found that a third | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
of parents with children under 14 used alcohol as a bribe | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
to encourage good behaviour. That's a summary of the latest BBC | :31:28. | :31:43. | |
News - more at 10am. Night for the incomparable Usain | :31:44. | :31:58. | |
Bolt. -- and eighth gold medal overnight. He will now go into the | :31:59. | :32:06. | |
relay tonight aiming for an unprecedented ninth track gold | :32:07. | :32:09. | |
medal. 36 medals so far for Britain, the latest another gold for Jade | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
Jones in the tae kwon do. Retaining her title in the under 57 kilo | :32:15. | :32:23. | |
category. And there was an historic 1-2 for the Brownlee brothers in the | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
triathlon. Alistair beat Jonny by six seconds, becoming the first man | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
to win two titles in triathlon. And much to look forward to at nine | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
o'clock tonight, with the Williams hockey players taking on the | :32:38. | :32:43. | |
Netherlands in the final. Team GB have never reached this stage | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
before. And I will be back just after 10am speaking to some of our | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
medal winning rugby sevens players. Let's have a look at the social | :32:50. | :32:56. | |
media reaction to the Olympics. Yesterday was another day | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
where Usain Bolt dominated the agenda, completing a Rio 2016 | :33:00. | :33:01. | |
sprint double by winning the mens An achievement he took | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
in his stride, Bolt's Jamaica team mate | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
Yohan Blake was more effusive in his praise, tweeting that Bolt | :33:09. | :33:17. | |
is a "true inspiration There was success for team GB | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
as well, with Alistair Brownlee winning gold in the men's triathlon | :33:21. | :33:26. | |
and his brother brother Jonny The brothers looked pleased as punch | :33:27. | :33:29. | |
in the picture Alistair tweeted out, both of them holding | :33:30. | :33:38. | |
up their medals. Their efforts won the admiration | :33:39. | :33:39. | |
of former Olympian Victoria Pendleton, who tweeted | :33:40. | :33:45. | |
out 'That is one Gold for Alistair Brownlee | :33:46. | :33:47. | |
and silver for Jonny Brownlee.' The Olympics has wowed us | :33:48. | :33:55. | |
all with feats of athleticism, but it has also brought us | :33:56. | :33:57. | |
some lighter moments. British cycling hero Jason Kenny | :33:58. | :33:59. | |
cause a bit of a stir when he packed his kit into a bag | :34:00. | :34:02. | |
for life after winning gold at the men's keirin | :34:03. | :34:05. | |
a couple of days ago. I did comment on this myself. I said | :34:06. | :34:09. | |
is that really a bag for life? The Buzzfeed journalist | :34:10. | :34:13. | |
Chris Applegate Tweeted that this was the most British thing | :34:14. | :34:15. | |
he had ever seen. Alhough Belfast boxer Michael | :34:16. | :34:18. | |
Conlan didn't manage to win a medal this week, he certainly | :34:19. | :34:27. | |
inspired someone. A five-year-old County Dublin boy | :34:28. | :34:29. | |
has sent a touching letter to his hero, offering him a | :34:30. | :34:32. | |
consolation prize. Finn McManus | :34:33. | :34:36. | |
told a devastated Conlan: "I want | :34:37. | :34:38. | |
you to have my school medal Michael Conlan was clearly impressed | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
by this, tweeting that the young lad, he had | :34:43. | :34:50. | |
a gift waiting for him. So another fantastic | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
performance from Usain Bolt. The fastest man in the world did it | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
again, winning his second gold medal of this Olympics, | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
and looking like he might even go Let's take a look at his | :35:02. | :35:04. | |
Olympic highlights. Here comes Usain Bolt. Streaking | :35:05. | :35:22. | |
away from the field. Gold for Jamaica. That is superb. It is a new | :35:23. | :35:25. | |
world record. Usain Bolt already away. Look at the | :35:26. | :35:41. | |
time! It is gold for Usain Bolt and a new world record. I cannot believe | :35:42. | :35:50. | |
it. Usain Bolt has it in his hands. But it is Jamaica, one more to go. | :35:51. | :35:57. | |
Asafa Powell, what is the time? It is a new world record! Three gold | :35:58. | :36:07. | |
medals. Bolt quickly out of the blocks. Coming into his stride | :36:08. | :36:14. | |
alongside Gatlin. He is going to win the gold. It is a clean start. Bolt | :36:15. | :36:26. | |
is out of the blocks really well. Look at him go. He is going to do it | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
again! Gold all the way. You cannot argue. Here he goes. Jamaica are the | :36:34. | :36:42. | |
gold medallists again. And it is a new world record. Smashes it to | :36:43. | :36:48. | |
pieces. Gatlin gets away well. A focused effort. And here comes Usain | :36:49. | :36:54. | |
Bolt. He is going to take it. Usain Bolt gets it. 9.8 zero. What more | :36:55. | :37:09. | |
does he have for us? Usain Bolt, on his own, as he has been throughout | :37:10. | :37:13. | |
his career, running away from everybody, running to what he would | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
love to be immortality as an athlete. 90.79, it is his eighth | :37:19. | :37:23. | |
gold medal. I ran hard on the turn but when I came to the straight, my | :37:24. | :37:27. | |
body was not responding. But I am getting older. I am not as young and | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
fresh but it is just one of those things. I am excited that I got the | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
gold medal and that is the main thing. | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
Usain Bolt doing what Usain Bolt does best. | :37:41. | :37:47. | |
Diane Modahl is one of Britain's most successful 800 metre runner, | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
winning gold in the 1990 Commonwealth Games and competing | :37:51. | :37:52. | |
She now runs the Diane Modahl Sports Foundation. | :37:53. | :37:55. | |
Derek Redmond, British sprinter and World Champion | :37:56. | :38:00. | |
has competed in two Olympic Games, is next to me. | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
Thanks to you both for speaking to me about this incredible man. Ever | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
in doubt? It was never in doubt. The big thing was how fast would he run. | :38:12. | :38:19. | |
The fact that Gatlin was not there made no difference. He seemed | :38:20. | :38:25. | |
generally frustrated -- genuinely frustrated that he did not break the | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
record. Absolutely. He has gone there in great shape to win the | :38:30. | :38:33. | |
three medals. The 200, it is probably his last 200 on the world | :38:34. | :38:37. | |
stage and he felt that he was in shape to challenge the world record. | :38:38. | :38:41. | |
The fact that he did not get close to it will be disappointing but I'm | :38:42. | :38:48. | |
sure he will get over it. Diane, not much to criticise Usain Bolt for | :38:49. | :38:51. | |
what some people have criticised in the past that he has sometimes just | :38:52. | :38:56. | |
won the race and not pushed himself showboating towards the end. He | :38:57. | :38:59. | |
really wanted that world record and he did not get it. That is possibly | :39:00. | :39:06. | |
so spectators and fans being just a little bit greedy, I think. -- us as | :39:07. | :39:12. | |
spectators. We're so used to him, every time he steps on the track, a | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
miracle happens, something amazing happens. And I think he was probably | :39:17. | :39:20. | |
frustrated, as he set himself, that he did not get the world record, | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
although he ran the curve and he was going for it. And of course, knowing | :39:26. | :39:33. | |
Usain Bolt, he would not want to be upstaged by the 400 metre record | :39:34. | :39:37. | |
earlier in the week. Of course, it did not help that there was a rain | :39:38. | :39:43. | |
shower just before he started. You mentioned the 400 metres and I | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
wanted to bring that up. Wouldn't you love to see the two compete? | :39:48. | :39:57. | |
Absolutely. But I do not know what Derek would say. He is the 400 | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
metres specialist. With Usain Bolt's speed at 400 metres, I think Wayde | :40:04. | :40:08. | |
van Niekerk would struggle. If you are going to put them in the race, | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
it would have to be 300 metres. Wayde van Niekerk, for me he is the | :40:12. | :40:19. | |
best performance of the Olympic Games, I may be biased because it is | :40:20. | :40:25. | |
my event but 43.03 is unbelievable. He is the only sprinter to ever run | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
under ten seconds, 20 seconds and 44 seconds. But over 100 and 200 | :40:32. | :40:38. | |
metres, Usain Bolt has it hands down. Over 400 metres, Wayde van | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
Niekerk has got it so the distance to run would be 300. That would be | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
an event. But Usain Bolt would not do that? He could do it. One of the | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
reasons he does not like running 400 is because he does not like | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
training. He has admitted that. He ran 45 flat many years ago. But as a | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
one-off, it would be interesting to see how he would do. But the thing | :41:03. | :41:06. | |
that would scare him over 300 metres is the amount of lactic acid that | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
would be created in his leg, but Wayde van Niekerk would be used to | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
that. I reckon that would be a fantastic spectacle. Looking ahead | :41:14. | :41:20. | |
for Usain Bolt to do the treble treble, Diane, the Jamaican | :41:21. | :41:23. | |
sprinters have not done as well as normal. Do you think is going to get | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
that in the relay? I think it is absolutely on. The difficulty with | :41:29. | :41:32. | |
the relay is getting the baton round. Everybody has to do that, | :41:33. | :41:37. | |
even Usain Bolt. With the team they have got, with the inspiration of | :41:38. | :41:45. | |
somebody as strong, clearly in good form, as Usain Bolt, it is | :41:46. | :41:48. | |
absolutely on. But we should not underestimate the other competitors. | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
The Team GB guys will have something to say about that. They are a shark | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
team. They have described themselves as a family. They know that they are | :41:59. | :42:01. | |
running well and they know that they have trained well. They have got the | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
baton round. I think we have to watch out for the other competitors | :42:07. | :42:09. | |
as well. But the trouble trouble is absolutely on. It is an obviously. | :42:10. | :42:19. | |
-- it is an, obviously. The problem for Usain Bolt is that nobody likes | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
to have to rely on other people for your run success but this is a | :42:25. | :42:27. | |
relay, a team event and he has to rely on those other three guys. The | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
biggest problem is getting the baton round. You can be the greatest team, | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
the Shahpur steam, the quickest team as we saw in 2004 at Athens where | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
America had a slight tweak in one of their changeovers, and we have | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
another world-class team on their shoulders. We have seen it in major | :42:47. | :42:53. | |
championships before, it can happen and we hope it doesn't. It puts us | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
in an odd situation because I would like to see Usain Bolt doing the | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
trouble trouble, trouble trouble, however you want to pronounce it, | :43:02. | :43:07. | |
but that is at the cost of Britain winning a gold medal. -- triple | :43:08. | :43:14. | |
trouble. What is the future going to be now for sprinting? The worry is | :43:15. | :43:21. | |
that Usain Bolt says his coach wants to do another 200 and then he is | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
done. I was lucky enough to be in the stadium when he ran his 200 | :43:26. | :43:30. | |
metres in 2012. When he walked into the stadium, the electricity was | :43:31. | :43:34. | |
phenomenal. He had the crowd eating out of his hands. Athletics, with | :43:35. | :43:37. | |
all of its scandals, it needs someone like that. Wayde van | :43:38. | :43:43. | |
Niekerk, is that him and? Does he have the personality? Who picks up | :43:44. | :43:48. | |
the baton? The problem is there. From an ability point of view, there | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
are athletes that could fill those shoes. We have Mo Farah and Jess | :43:53. | :43:58. | |
Ennis. We have Wayde van Niekerks and other world-class athletes. But | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
what we're going to miss is that personality and character and it | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
will leave a hole. The sad thing, if anyone else tries to be Usain Bolt, | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
they will say, they are only copying. Nothing else can be said. | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
He will leave a massive hole from that perspective. The competition | :44:17. | :44:21. | |
and the times and the medals will continue to be won by other | :44:22. | :44:24. | |
athletes. Other people will come along with similar abilities that | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
will be able to perform at that level but following that personality | :44:29. | :44:33. | |
that he brings, we are going to miss that. Single-handedly, he has been | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
responsible for keeping track and field where it is in the world is | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
today. Did you see anyone taking over, Diane? What is unique about | :44:43. | :44:48. | |
Usain Bolt is the fact that he is charismatic, and confident. What | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
we're used to seeing in athletes is that tunnel vision, the game face | :44:54. | :44:58. | |
that they come with on the running track. And he has changed all of | :44:59. | :45:02. | |
that. He has entertained us and excited us and then when it has | :45:03. | :45:04. | |
really mattered, he has also performed. And I think this is an | :45:05. | :45:10. | |
opportunity now. It is an opportunity for other talented young | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
athletes to get up there and not try to copy or to be a clone of Usain | :45:14. | :45:20. | |
Bolt, but to go out there and perform, keep winning, keep right | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
first times and bring their own style, their own charisma, their own | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
personality to the sport. It has been done before. Usain Bolt is | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
unique, absolutely, but what is great about athletics is that it is | :45:34. | :45:39. | |
an opportunity for others to come through and shame. And there will be | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
others waiting in the wings, ready to show their own personality. | :45:44. | :45:50. | |
They have to be careful, these up-and-coming athletes, just | :45:51. | :45:56. | |
remember you've got to be winning and winning in style before you can | :45:57. | :45:58. | |
start showboating and doing the sort of stuff Usain Bolt has done. Years | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
ago Michael Johnson with his gold spikes come he could afford to wear | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
gold spikes because the guy was smashing world record over 200 and | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
400. So it's all well and good but I always say take care of business | :46:14. | :46:20. | |
first and then the world is your lobster. I think it would be a | :46:21. | :46:27. | |
mistake for anybody to go and try to replicate what is a natural | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
personality of Usain Bolt. I remember meeting him when he was 15 | :46:32. | :46:34. | |
years old at the world Junior Championships in Sherbrooke in | :46:35. | :46:39. | |
Canada and we were there with a strong Team GB contingent ourselves. | :46:40. | :46:45. | |
We were very proud and confident about what they young Craig | :46:46. | :46:48. | |
Pickering, 100 metres sprinter, was going to achieve at this | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
Championships. The Jamaican team looked at us and said, OK, we see | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
Craig, we recognise his talent, but look out for this young 15-year-old | :46:59. | :47:03. | |
Tommy Usain Bolt. And at the age of 15 at those world junior | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
championships he was amazing, charismatic. He was entertaining. | :47:08. | :47:14. | |
His ego at 15 was just as Big Ben as it is today. And so that is natural | :47:15. | :47:20. | |
to him and it would be wrong of anybody to try to replicate that. | :47:21. | :47:25. | |
But it would be absolutely right for those with the personality and the | :47:26. | :47:28. | |
drive to want to go out and entertained to do it in their own | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
unique way. Because that's what sport is about. We are there to | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
entertain and to provide people with a showcase. Encouraging young people | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
to get involved in the sport. Thank you for coming to speak to us. | :47:41. | :47:44. | |
The International Paralympic Committee has said | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
there is ?90 million deficit in funding for the Games. | :47:49. | :47:50. | |
Only 12% of tickets have been sold, and the funding shortfall means some | :47:51. | :47:54. | |
athletes from smaller nations may not be able to get to the games. | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
The man who has to tell the Police 24 hours before he has sex | :47:59. | :48:02. | |
will today find out if the legal order is to be extended | :48:03. | :48:05. | |
John O'Neill claims his Sexual Risk Order is so wide-ranging | :48:06. | :48:15. | |
that he is unable to work and is now homeless. | :48:16. | :48:17. | |
I must warn you this discussion will contain frank, | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
sexual language which you might not want children to hear - our reporter | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
First of all, can you give us a little background to this case? | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
Tell us what could happen today. These sexual risk orders came into | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
force last year and they can be imposed on anyone the courts believe | :48:32. | :48:35. | |
could be at potential risk of causing potential harm. In the case | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
of John O'Neill he was acquitted of rape but during the trial we heard | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
evidence that he had rape fantasies. He always maintained that those will | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
role-play and part of a consensual relationship with his then partner. | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
And that he also had safe words to ensure the situation could not get | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
out of control. Despite that the judge took the unusual step of | :48:58. | :49:01. | |
saying that he was dangerous. Since then he's had this order imposed on | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
him and he says because of the stringent nature of that order he is | :49:06. | :49:06. | |
now living rough. So this is where I've been camping | :49:07. | :49:20. | |
out. Over here, that's the little one-man tent. That's where I sleep. | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
I've got some waterproof containers for clothes and such. Firewood for | :49:27. | :49:34. | |
the concrete stove I have improvised out of breeze blocks. That's my | :49:35. | :49:41. | |
water stash. The piles of lemonade bottles. Jesse is that as water | :49:42. | :49:48. | |
containers. Do you actually like living here? Once I got used to it, | :49:49. | :49:54. | |
yeah. The bills are very reasonable. Isn't it demoralising to live like | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
this? It is under the current circumstances because I thought all | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
this was behind me. I thought all this was behind me. But to have to | :50:05. | :50:10. | |
go back to it, it has been a bit of a shock. But to be honest I'm | :50:11. | :50:20. | |
entirely focused on the hearing. John O'Neill claims he's living | :50:21. | :50:23. | |
rough because he can't get a job after the sexual risk order he was | :50:24. | :50:28. | |
placed on prevents him from using electronic devices unless the police | :50:29. | :50:33. | |
can access them. Despite being found not guilty of rape is legally | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
required to tell the police 24 hours before he has sex. And in his first | :50:38. | :50:41. | |
interview he told this programme the order has impacted on his life. Why | :50:42. | :50:47. | |
have you had this sexual risk order served upon you? This is the mystery | :50:48. | :50:57. | |
that we have been trying to figure out. We were amazed that the police | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
made the application after an acquittal, unanimous acquittal of | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
the only time that I've ever been accused of. As he's homeless, John | :51:07. | :51:13. | |
prepares for today's court hearing in a park in York. He claims he was | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
advised to declare himself unavailable to work, as a result he | :51:18. | :51:22. | |
says he's lost the right to universal credit and legal aid. Have | :51:23. | :51:28. | |
you made yourself a martyr? I haven't done it, that's the point. | :51:29. | :51:32. | |
Have you done it just as a campaign against the situation you are in? | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
That is an outrageous misrepresentation of what has | :51:37. | :51:42. | |
happened. I have not done this. None of us expected after the claim was | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
cut that it would have a knock-on effect to legal aid. John spends his | :51:49. | :51:54. | |
days in coffee shops and walking the streets. Thinking about the court | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
case today which could see his sexual risk order extended for up to | :51:59. | :52:04. | |
five years. Do you just want around town because you've got nowhere to | :52:05. | :52:09. | |
live? No, I'm working overtime. I've got a matter of days to prepare for | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
a very complicated case in which I'll be representing myself. So it's | :52:14. | :52:20. | |
all work. Do you have to come in to pick things up? Why are you in town? | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
That's right. Because I don't have an address my solicitor sends | :52:25. | :52:27. | |
paperwork to the post office in the centre of town. So yes I do have to | :52:28. | :52:34. | |
walk in to pick up post. North Yorkshire Police say the orders are | :52:35. | :52:37. | |
there to protect the public from the risk of sexual harm, and it's up to | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
the courts to decide if they are justified. Department for Work and | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
Pensions say they don't recognise this account of events and urge Mr | :52:46. | :52:48. | |
O'Neill to contact them if he wants help to get back to work. I accept | :52:49. | :52:54. | |
that it's odd and very unusual. But I was homeless when I was a kid, I | :52:55. | :52:59. | |
camped out all the time. It's not as much of a culture shock for me as it | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
might be for someone else. I have no control over what happens on Friday | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
and I am not optimistic because of what's happened this last week. I | :53:08. | :53:16. | |
just can't imagine winning on Friday. | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
So, Peter, he said in a report that he will be representing himself. | :53:21. | :53:26. | |
Tell us what will happen today? He lost his right to legal aid so he | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
will be representing himself in court today and says he's not | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
optimistic because he is not a legal professional. The most likely | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
outcomes are either that the order is lifted or it could be imposed for | :53:38. | :53:40. | |
a period of time right up to five years. Civil Liberties groups have | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
always complained about these orders saying that they are heavily | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
restrictive, especially on people that have never been convicted of | :53:49. | :53:51. | |
any crime. North Yorkshire Police always claim that the conditions of | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
this order are proportionate. Of course the media picks up on this | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
committee needs to give 24 hours notice before he has sex. He says | :54:00. | :54:08. | |
there are greater challenges. He says that's the thing everybody is | :54:09. | :54:13. | |
caught up on, the 24 hour notice. But he says it is the limit on | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
electronic devices which is the big thing. We now live in a society that | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
is so reliant on technology, either at work or at home you might have to | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
use a mobile phone or a computer and unless these have access to all | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
those things he cannot use them and he says it is a huge restriction on | :54:31. | :54:33. | |
his life and one of the reasons he is now living rough. | :54:34. | :54:35. | |
Thanks for dropping by to fill us in. | :54:36. | :55:13. | |
Half of parents with children under the age of 14 allow them | :55:14. | :55:16. | |
to drink alcohol at home, according to a new survey. | :55:17. | :55:19. | |
The research, by a leading insurance company, | :55:20. | :55:20. | |
spoke to more than 1,000 people and found that many of them | :55:21. | :55:23. | |
It also found that a third of parents with children under 14 | :55:24. | :55:27. | |
used alcohol as a bribe to encourage good behaviour. | :55:28. | :55:29. | |
A spokesman for the East England Ambulance Service said that despite | :55:30. | :55:32. | |
the best efforts of everyone involved the child sadly died. I | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
have spoken to Essex Police and they tell me they have arrested a | :55:37. | :55:39. | |
29-year-old woman for allowing a doctor be dangerously out of control | :55:40. | :55:43. | |
and injuring a person. She remains in custody this morning. The dog in | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
question has been seized and placed in kennels. The breed is yet to be | :55:48. | :55:49. | |
identified. Do they automatically destroy dogs? | :55:50. | :56:03. | |
They have two identify the breed and act within the law. Worryingly on | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
Monday there was another fatal attack, a man who was 52. Attacked | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
and killed by a dog while walking his own Yorkshire terrier in | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
Huddersfield. This was notable particularly because the dog in | :56:17. | :56:19. | |
question that attacked him had been returned to its owner a week earlier | :56:20. | :56:22. | |
by dog wardens who deemed that the breed was not dangerous. And that | :56:23. | :56:29. | |
incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints | :56:30. | :56:31. | |
Commission. Frankly there are still lots of dangerous dogs owned by | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
members of the public, at least 21 people, 14 of them children, have | :56:36. | :56:40. | |
died in the last ten years as the result of dog attacks. More than | :56:41. | :56:43. | |
7000 people have been taken to hospital with injuries as a result | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
of dog attacks in two years. The Dangerous Dogs Act, there to try to | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
stop this problem, amended in 2014 to give greater powers to try and | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
prevent this, some of the new measures were introduced to penalise | :56:58. | :57:00. | |
the owners of dogs who attack people on private as well as public | :57:01. | :57:03. | |
property, and actually the prison sentences were increased as well for | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
those convicted of certain offences. I think especially with this latest | :57:09. | :57:13. | |
death a lot of people will be asking whether the law is simply not | :57:14. | :57:16. | |
working well enough. Thank you for dropping by and filling us in on | :57:17. | :57:19. | |
that story. We will bring you an update on that. Headlines in the | :57:20. | :57:24. | |
next couple of minutes but first the weather. After the sunshine there is | :57:25. | :57:30. | |
a change of seasons in the air for many, I'm afraid to say. Some will | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
be welcome of the rain falling over the next 24 hours. The glorious week | :57:36. | :57:43. | |
in the Highlands, best of the weather here today, up to 24 | :57:44. | :57:47. | |
Celsius. This shot from Dorset much more typical of what many of you are | :57:48. | :57:51. | |
seeing out there right now. Rain spreading its way north with an | :57:52. | :57:56. | |
eastwards. Things by turning up this afternoon through England, Wales and | :57:57. | :57:59. | |
Northern Ireland as the rain works northwards and eastwards, never | :58:00. | :58:01. | |
quite reaching the far north of Scotland. Expect temperatures of 23 | :58:02. | :58:07. | |
degrees. But central and southern Scotland, not a great afternoon. Not | :58:08. | :58:12. | |
great in England but some areas need rain, we've only had four or five | :58:13. | :58:16. | |
millimetres in the East Midlands so far this month, any rain here will | :58:17. | :58:19. | |
be welcome. I'm sure some gardens across the South will welcome the | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
occasional rain. As the sun comes out the win strengthens and this is | :58:24. | :58:27. | |
our change to autumn as we go through tonight and into tomorrow, | :58:28. | :58:31. | |
deepening area of low pressure to the west of Northern Ireland, | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
strengthening winds around, rain pushing northwards towards Orkney | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
and Shetland and bringing infrequent, heavy and thundery | :58:40. | :58:41. | |
showers towards western parts of the UK to go into Saturday morning. The | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
weekend will not be a wash-out by any means and in fact some parts of | :58:46. | :58:48. | |
north and name in Scotland, another fine day. Eastern parts of England, | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
some getting away with a few showers, dry weather. Frequent | :58:54. | :58:56. | |
showers elsewhere, some heavy and thundery. Dusty winds accompanying. | :58:57. | :59:01. | |
After temperatures in the mid to high 20s, some will be struggling to | :59:02. | :59:04. | |
get out of the team's Saturday afternoon. The big story for | :59:05. | :59:08. | |
tomorrow is the strength of wind around the coast and southern | :59:09. | :59:11. | |
western parts of England and Wales, widespread gales. Winds touching 40, | :59:12. | :59:17. | |
50, even 60 mph. That will have an impact on ferry services. And being | :59:18. | :59:21. | |
the summer, a big weekend of outdoor activities could be hampered as the | :59:22. | :59:25. | |
area of low pressure continues to push across the North Sea as we go | :59:26. | :59:29. | |
through the night and into Sunday. Staying window through Saturday | :59:30. | :59:31. | |
night. Frequent showers to begin with. Confined to eastern areas | :59:32. | :59:36. | |
later. Try and buy to towards the West. Sunshine in the breeze not | :59:37. | :59:42. | |
feeling especially warm. Taking is into Monday working its way across | :59:43. | :59:46. | |
the UK and then into next week. Is that weather front just all is | :59:47. | :59:49. | |
towards the West. And if they do that there's a chance, after a | :59:50. | :59:52. | |
cooler weekend, we could start to bring warmer air back-up from the | :59:53. | :59:55. | |
the near continent. Temperatures back to the mid or high 20s | :59:56. | :59:59. | |
potentially across southern and eastern parts of the UK. More | :00:00. | :00:02. | |
updates on the news channel throughout the day. | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
Hello it's 10 o'clock, it's Friday - I'm Chloe Tilly - | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
welcome to the programme if you've just joined us. | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
The greatest sprinter of all time Usain Bolt is now just one final | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
away from the "triple triple" - three golds from three | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
I'm getting older, I'm not as young and fresh but I'm just excited I got | :00:22. | :00:42. | |
the gold medal. Marc Cavendish, fresh from Rio, tells us what it | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
means to be part of Team GB's successful stop to represent Great | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
Britain is such an honour. The Olympics is the biggest thing. You | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
can watch the full interview on our programme page. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
And do you let your teenagers drink at home? | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
A new study suggesting that half of all parents in Britain do. | :01:05. | :01:19. | |
We can head to speak to queue and get all of the updates on the | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Olympics. What will you do when they are over? I do not know what we will | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
be talking about next week I'm sure there is football going on. We have | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
to talk about Olympics while it is going on. First, we have to speak | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
about the incomparable Usain Bolt, the 29-year-old, powering his way | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
around the video track to win the 200 metres gold for the third | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
straight Games will stop 19.78 seconds. He stays on course for an | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
extraordinary travel trouble of sprint titles. Team GB consolidated | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
second in the medal table with three golds, Jade Jones wrote her name in | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
the history, defending her Olympic crown in the under 57 kilograms | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
category, eating a big rival from Spain -- beating. I didn't actually | :02:19. | :02:28. | |
realise how much pressure it would be. It was only today, I thought, | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
there is a lot of pressure, and pressure on myself, because I know I | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
am the best but in tae kwon do, doesn't always work like that. I | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
just wanted to win so much and I've trained so hard for four years, I | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
just wanted to win and to finally do it is just amazing. Written's first | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
go on day 13 came with a historic 1- to put the Brownlee Brothers in | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
triathlon, Alistair beating his brother Johnny. As expected, Saskia | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Clark and Hannah Mills duly completed the last race in the 470 | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
sailing class to take gold four years after they won the silver | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
medal in London. Tonight at nine p.m., grape's hockey players take on | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
reigning champions the Netherlands in the final. Britain had never won | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
the Limerick title, they are up against a team who won in Beijing | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
and London. -- the Olympic title. I am joined by part of the rugby | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
sevens team. James, I want to start with you. It was a great | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
performance, you beat New Zealand early on, did you ever think that | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
you would have gone so far and start so well? I think when we can | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
together ten weeks ago, we had the challenges of never having played | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
together as a team, we knew we were confident in the levels of training | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
we have had back home before we went to Rio, we wanted to get a good | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
start in the first game against Kenya, and then we built our | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
performances. It was a great feeling to reach the final. That semifinal | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
against South Africa was a very tough much, it's obviously put you | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
into the gold-medal game, but was it so tough you had spent all your | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
energy, did you have anything left in the tank against Fiji for the | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
final? I don't think so. It was probably our toughest game, and it | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
was another one that was really tight, but in the last game, that | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
was bubbly our worst performance, unfortunately, and the Fijian is | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
really hit the mark, and probably played as well as they could have. | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
They hadn't performed to their best throughout the tournament and it was | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
a lucky for us that when they are on form, everything goes to hand, they | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
always off-loading the ball, they have pace, powerful, huge men, they | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
are difficult to stop. Do you come home with any disappointment or is | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
the silver medal almost overachievement? It was a funny | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
feeling, because essentially, you come off having lost the game and it | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
was the final and we lost it quite badly but then on reflection, how | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
far we have come in the last ten weeks, we pretty quickly were | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
buzzing in terms of what we managed to achieve as a group. Tom, the | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
captain, the legacy of rugby sevens, it is starting to stand out as a | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
sport in its own right away from the 15s game, do you think this medal | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
will go some way towards establishing the sevens game in | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
people's minds? I hope so. The game of sevens has been on an amazing | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
journey, we have seen it grow in popularity, no more so than in the | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
last couple of weeks. The feedback we have had from people, it was the | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
most amazing thing, people have never seen a game before saying how | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
exciting it was. It's 14 minutes, amazing action, lots of scoring, | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
it's easy to get into even if you don't understand the game of rugby | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
so much. That's amazing for us as players, to be part of that on the | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
biggest stage there is an also in terms of legacy, we wanted to | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
protect our ability to come together as a team, the ability we showed out | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
there on the field was special, the way we fought and had a never say | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
die attitude for Team GB and everyone that represents, is | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
something we would like to leave a legacy for. Congratulations. I'm | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
sure you will be celebrating for some time to come. We will be back | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
just after 1030 a.m. To talk more Rio sport. Time for a summary of | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
today's news. Police in Essex say a boy who died | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
after being attacked by a dog It happened at Halstead | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
late yesterday. A 29-year-old woman has been | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
arrested for allegedly allowing a dog to be dangerously | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
out of control. The United States Olympic Committee | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
has apologised to the organisers of the Rio Olympics, | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
and the people of Brazil, for the behaviour of | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
a group of swimmers. The four, who include the gold | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
medallist Ryan Lochte, Brazilian police say they lied | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
to cover up an act of vandalism Latest reports say that Jimmy Fagan | :07:29. | :07:44. | |
is to pay $11,000 to a Brazilian charity. | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
A senior member of the International Olympic Committee - Patrick Hickey - | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
has temporarily stepped down after being arrested in Brazil over | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
the suspected illegal sale of tickets for the Rio Games. | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
has also stepped aside from his role as president of the European | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Brazilian police claim he was involved in a scheme | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
to pass tickets to touts, who sold them at inflated prices | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
on the black market. He denies any wrongdoing. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
On this programme yesterday we heard calls for a post | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Rio Olympic Games parade in Britain. Now support appears to be growing. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has said he is keen | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
He said he was speaking to the government and Olympic | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
and Paralympic sports chiefs to find the best way of celebrating | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
the achievements of British competitors. | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
If I have my way, yes, but we've got to talk the government and the | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
Olympic and Paralympians chiefs. They will want it, that's why I am | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
optimistic, and what is important is we have got the power Olympics | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
coming up, I'm excited about that as well, we celebrate our heroes | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
returning home from Rio, Olympians and Paralympians. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
A man under a court order to tell police 24 hours before he has sexual | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
contact with anyone for the first time, will today find out | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
if the legal order will be extended for up to five years. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
was cleared of rape last year, but North Yorkshire Police | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
asked a judge to impose an interim Sexual Risk Order. | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
Mr O'Neill says it is so wide-ranging that he is unable | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
A district judge at York Magistrates will now decide whether to lift | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has declined to say if he would give | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
military support to a fellow NATO country if it were | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
In the latest leadership debate with rival Owen Smith, | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Mr Corbyn said he wanted a world where there is "no | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
need" to go to war - he also emphasised the importance | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
Owen Smith said the NATO treaty requires all members | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Questions remain over funding for the Paralympics in Rio | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
despite a court in Brazil ordering the release of ?56 million | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
It had been held up because of issues over public scrutiny. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
More details are expected from the International Paralympic | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
Just 12% of tickets have been sold for the Paralympics. | :09:58. | :10:16. | |
We will be speaking to Mark Cockburn and Dame Sarah Storey later on this | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
programme. Around a hundred water voles | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
are being released into the wild They were once commonly found | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
in the British countryside, but are now one of our | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
most endangered species. Ecologists from the National Trust | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
will release the rare mammals into the waters of Malham Tarn, | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
England's highest freshwater lake. Team GB may be soaring high | :10:35. | :10:46. | |
in the medal table in Rio - but for some athletes who competed | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
in 2012, they will have been watching from home, | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
because they couldn't get UK Sport is the body that decides | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
which sports will be give After London 2012, | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
four Olympic sports - Basketball, Volleyball, | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
Table Tennis and Wrestling - Other sports suffered | :11:03. | :11:03. | |
less severe cuts. Swimming - which fell short | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
of its London 2012 target - was cut by nearly ?4 | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
million. Some sports had more money. Overall | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
the total funding was 347 million. So what happens to those | :11:20. | :11:30. | |
athletes who are left not And what about the athletes | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
who haven't hit their medal targets in Rio - | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
will they lose out in and Olympic Bronze Medallist Chloe | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
Rogers and Professional Table Tennis In our Southampton studio | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
is the Chair of UK Sport Rod Carr. These are pretty brutal decisions. | :11:49. | :12:00. | |
Is it literally a case of where you finish at an Olympic Games as to | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
what funding you get? No, it isn't, is the reality. It's a case that | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
it's a factor, but the main thing we look at is the capability of a | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
particular sport going forwards. We spend more time looking forwards as | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
to who the sport is putting forward and whether they have got a | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
realistic medal shot at the Games all the Games after, then we do | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
looking backwards. So it isn't the case that it's as simple as | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
committee don't perform, you get your money cut. It's worth pointing | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
out that London was a special case, a home Olympics, the government | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
decided that all competing British sports should have some basic | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
funding, which had not been done before in the previous four Games. | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
So it was a special case, we felt that if we didn't have the resources | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
to carry on with that with sports that didn't have a realistic chance | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
of getting to the podium for the next Games. He say it's not directly | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
linked to performance but if you get the gymnastics team for example, | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
which have done amazing things, far outperforming what was expected, Max | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
Whitlock becoming a double champion, presumably gymnastics will now get | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
more money, is that then taken away from another sport? You are right | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
that we have a limited pot of money, we have to distribute that in the | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
best way, to maximise our chances of getting the maximum number of medals | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
so yes, it's tough and we have to make decisions. The gymnastics as a | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
classic case in point, in 2000 they didn't do very well and they had | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
their money cut. Their strategy was to have a root and branch review of | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
what they were doing, the pathways for young gymnasts, coaches they | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
were employing, they did all of that, and you have seen the results. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
It has taken them some time, but right now, three Olympic cycles | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
later, they are right up there. And they did it bit by bit. Coming to us | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
each time and delivering on what they said they would do, we | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
responded with giving the more funding. The those sports that | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
aren't yet there in funding terms, the reality is, if they come to us | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
with a track record, and they demonstrate brought record of | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
achievement, even at Junior or youth level, we will take that Somerset. I | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
want to bring in Chloe and Simon, Chloe, you had that funding is a | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
hockey player. We were very fortunate to have the funding and | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
train full-time as a squad. It's been a long path and it comes over | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
time, working hard to get that funding. They didn't qualify for the | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
Athens Olympics, slowly they progressed, but from the Beijing | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
cycle, we were funded full-time, and progression is helped and we have | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
got better results, so it's about performances at the Olympics, | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
performing well at every tournament and showing you are medal | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
contenders, going into radio as well. | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
When we talk about funding, what does it mean? Do you personally get | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
money? As a training group for London and Rio, 30 men and 30 women | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
on the hockey teams are funded, for a squad of 16 that get picked each | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
tournament. We are all individually paid a monthly allowance, and that | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
allows you to train full-time. We all live near the site. For the | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
Beijing side of a lot of us were working part-time and training | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
part-time and that showed in our results. Moving towards London and | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
Rio we were able to be together every day, training fully, it has | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
your full attention and focus and results improve. Give us the | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
perspective on table tennis. You are not only a coach but your brother | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
has self-funded and become world champion? The world champion is in a | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
different sport, the sandpaper version. But Andrew is the athlete | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
with most medals in Commonwealth history. Table tennis was given | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
nominal funding for London and doesn't have funding now. Obviously | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
it is a no-brainer. Table tennis needs funding for its elite level | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
athletes and right throughout the sport. The concern is how governing | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
bodies spend their money and how they allocate their money, it is of | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
the greatest interest to me. How does your brother balance that, if | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
he is self-funded, does he have a job? Andrew Bagley is very much | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
full-time, he has just come back from China. Fortunately we have a | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
very strong family network which I think you will find a lot of | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
sportspeople have. In some ways not getting funding has created the | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
athlete. We had to fight for what perhaps we felt was our right and we | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
would still argue that. Equally so I ink that's made an athlete. We do it | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
our own. But Andrew has always been selected for major events. Played in | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
London 2012, and it has created an athlete who has had to fight and do | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
it the hard way. It's not always a hard luck story if you don't get | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
funded. Stephen saying we need funding for table tennis, what are | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
the chances of that? Well, they are on the rise, particularly in the | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
men's side of the game. Some good results at the Olympics with the | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
men's team, knocked out in the quarterfinal against China won gold. | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
So just like gymnastics 12 or 16 years ago, they are on the rise. And | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
I'm sure, I know in fact they will come to us and ask for us to | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
consider their case for Tokyo and beyond, and we will take that very | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
seriously. And I think the point that's been made about people really | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
digging deep is a good one. Even if they are not on funding. Remember | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
that public funding, in this case lottery funding, is a privilege. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
It's not right. And we do have to make some difficult conditions. To | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
be honest with you the results speak for themselves. One hesitates to | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
blow our own trumpet but you've only got to look at the medal table. We | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
have medals in more sports than we did in London which was our home | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
games. So it's working. Obviously he makes some valid points and table | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
tennis clearly needs funding in the future. We are competing with China | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
which is arguably the largest global economy and it is their national | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
sport. To have any chance we do need funding throughout the support. | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
Table tennis has done well at the Olympics, Team GB have done well, | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
and that will encourage UK Sport to release funds to Team GB table | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
tennis. So that's really encouraging. As I say, it's about | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
how the allocation of funds is their news for the best interest of the | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
game. As long as that is done in an open entrance Baron way I think | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
people will connect with that. -- open and transparent way. When you | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
see gold medals being won, there are many stories for people playing | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
sport who have not been funded and that would make an interesting | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
article, to not just see the gold medal, but to see the inspiration, | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
it is heart-warming. There was a time, what's in there, When Marnie | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Was There kind of given out in what some people would say a very British | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
way -- when money was given out. There's a more ruthless approach | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
now. But we are winning more medals, so there needs to be logic to that. | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
Yes, you look at who has received money and it is the sports that are | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
doing well, and they have to have done well to get noticed in the | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
first place. As hockey we did not receive much funding. We have | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
progressed and done well to get noticed and receive funding to the | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
point where we are able to do it full-time. Is it quite stressful | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
waiting for the call of whether you've got funding or not? A little | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
bit. There is a system whereby we are a squad so it's not necessarily | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
the individual. The hockey girls took the decision that everybody | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
receives the same amount, whether you have been in the squad ten years | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
or are relatively new. As a group of players it was the decision of we | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
are all in this together and we deserve the same amount. It's a | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
tricky one to say you are waiting for your funding but ultimately as a | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
sport we look at it, the men and women are there as a sport rather | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
than individuals. Thank you for coming in. I will stick up for table | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
tennis and I do hope Rod will look at table tennis favourably. He's | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
giving you a nod, he suddenly taking it on board. | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
The study suggesting that half of all parents let their under 14 | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
year olds drink at home - we'll have the details | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
and we'd love to hear from you if you've got teenagers. | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
Ian says parents should be ashamed of themselves, parents should be | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
made accountable for their actions. Ben says encouraging drinking | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
underage is not acceptable. The legal drink in aid should be raised | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
to 21. Furthermore checks on shops and nightclubs selling to underage | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
people need cracking down on. This view says I'm away to at a | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
restaurant in the north-east and more often than not I come across | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
parents who effectively encourage their underage children to drink. Do | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
get in touch. A single image of a five year | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
old Syrian child, battered, bloody and filthy after an air | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
strike, brought the ravages of the conflict back | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
onto the front pages this week. He was the victim of the latest | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
fighting for control of the Syrian city of Aleppo - | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
that's intensified as government forces try to regain control | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
of districts lost to rebel forces. The Assad regime, backed by Russia | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
and Iran, has continued bombarding the city, | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
and this boy was retrieved from one The pictures were met with outrage | :22:18. | :22:28. | |
and grief around the world. He's just one of thousands of children | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
suffering as the violence escalates. If you see the whole video it is so | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
painful to watch. Let's speak with Haid Haid a Syrian | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
based in London with family Razan Saffour, whose | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
mother is from Aleppo - she also has family currently living | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
in the city. Those images are just absolutely | :22:46. | :22:59. | |
heartbreaking, aren't they? Of course that is one child in a city | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
where so many children are being targeted. It's hard for anybody to | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
look at that but is it harder for you with that link to Aleppo? Yes, | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
for sure. Especially that my son is still there. I have only one family | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
member who lives in areas controlled by the regime, the rest live in | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
areas controlled by opposition groups. On a daily basis I think of | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
them. To see how they are doing. And I don't know whether the next call | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
they will still be OK or not. It's just surreal, what's going on there. | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
And no one is trying to do enough. Is there much difference in | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
conditions between the rebel held areas and the government-controlled | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
areas? Big, big time. The problem is that the Syrian regime is using | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
bombs and indiscriminate weapons, and the Russians who started | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
bombarding last September they have been intensifying their bombardments | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
and strikes as well. So in my home town, around 30 kilometres from | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Aleppo, for more than three weeks now, you have between four and 30 | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
air strikes a day. And most of those air strikes, all of them, actually, | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
I hitting civilian areas. They are hitting markets, hospitals and | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
schools. And houses. So it is completely different when you live | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
in areas controlled by the opposition, because they don't have | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
air strikes. So the damage is done by mortar shelling is much less than | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
the damage done by the air strikes. So when you talk to your family in | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
Aleppo, is there any sense of a normal life? Do people feel safe to | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
leave their homes and go out on the streets? Absolutely not. It's quite | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
ironic because on one hand there's no sense as we understand it of | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
going out, going to university, buying your groceries. For them it | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
has become normal and that is exemplified in the image of the boy. | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
He wasn't even crying, he was sitting there are specialist. A boy | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
his age is the age of the Syrian war, he is five years old, that's | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
when the Syrian war started. It just shows how this life has become very | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
normal. People expect to die any second. I was speaking to my aunt | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
just a few days ago. We speak to her every day. We hadn't heard from her | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
for about three days on Wednesday. So we hadn't heard from her since | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
Sunday. And on Wednesday we heard back from her and she told us that | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
for the first time this year her flat was bombed by a barrel bomb | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
filled with chlorine. She almost died. But because this has become | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
their daily life she is very well equipped with survival techniques. | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
Her neighbours who live in the flat underneath her diet and the people | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
above, some of them died and some of them are in critical condition is. | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
She is a 65-year-old woman who lives by herself. She was suffocating from | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
chlorine gas but she managed to hide herself and cover her face with damp | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
cloth for about two hours until the Syrian civil defence came over and | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
were able to extract her out of the rubble. Now she's homeless. Thank | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
God she's got friends where she can stay round their houses. But yeah, | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
that's their daily lives. Even when she was telling us this, I was in | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
shock. I'm half decent to, I can't cry because I hear this on a daily | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
basis but I'm shocked because she's almost laughing like, I almost got | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
killed again. Does she have access to food? You say she's effectively | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
homeless, friends are supporting her, how does she get access to food | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
and medicine? Knowing that Aleppo is under siege right now, generally all | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
of Syria, it's very difficult to get access to food. She gets food | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
because charities are able to come in. I'm sceptical about Russia being | :27:14. | :27:24. | |
involved in that. Russia agree to that the same day they bombed nine | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
hospitals. And they are the biggest killers, alongside the regime, of | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
the Syrian people. So it's all very ironic. But they do get food. | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
Obviously it's not as accessible but food is there. The main concern now | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
is to stop the murder once and for all. That's the main concern for | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
Syrians right now. They are demanding a no-fly zone, for a stop | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
to the killing. But more they are demanding food. Of course Russia has | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
said yesterday that it would support the idea of a 48-hour ceasefire. | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
We've heard these kinds of conversations before. Do you have | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
faith in that? Definitely not. Because they are the ones targeting | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
civilians and they are the ones targeting hospitals and schools. | :28:09. | :28:16. | |
They just say that to say that, OK, we are doing something about it. The | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
truth is they are the ones killing those people and they are the ones | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
not allowing food to enter those areas. Even as Rezan mentioned, the | :28:24. | :28:32. | |
siege was broken a week ago, more than that. But now the regime are | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
targeting this bit of land so they don't allow people to leave. And | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
they don't allow aid in. They are the ones stopping that from taking | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
place. And they are just giving people false promises to say. Bait | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
as you speak to your respective families inside Aleppo, do they want | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
to leave? And if they do, is there any realistic prospect they will be | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
able to? I think it's quite difficult at this point to leave | :29:03. | :29:04. | |
from Aleppo because it's not physically possible. Because they | :29:05. | :29:12. | |
don't trust the humanitarian forces? Nobody did, and the corridors don't | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
even exist. That's one thing. I spoke to a friend there and he told | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
me that at least in my house I know that I can die peacefully with my | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
family. But why would I go to a designated area to be killed by | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
those who are killing me everywhere I go? So for sure they do not trust | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
them. The other thing is, you want to leave out of Aleppo, to go where? | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
Turkey closed the borders, you cannot leave Syria. To Lebanon on is | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
almost impossible. To Jordan they closed the border as well. You have | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
no way out of Syria. As long as you are in Syria it is the same | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
situation. You go outside Aleppo, they are bombarding those areas as | :29:55. | :29:57. | |
well. My hometown has 30 air strikes today. There is no safe place to go | :29:58. | :30:03. | |
to. This is why the discussion is we need to provide those people with | :30:04. | :30:11. | |
safe areas. Those people need protection, and we should provide | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
them with that protection. I think there's also another aspect not | :30:16. | :30:18. | |
discussed as much. This is their home country. They don't want to | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
leave Syria, they want to rebuild Syria. We tend to forget, the | :30:24. | :30:29. | |
narrative is skewed and we tend to forget how this started. It started | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
five years ago with a revolution when people rose up asking for | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
freedom. People want to stay in their country and rebuild, they do | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
not want to be forced out of it, and for the bombardment to remain there | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
and for them not to be able to live a prosperous life in the place where | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
their grandparents lived in. So we tend to forget about that home | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
sentiment, national sentiment. We can't just uproot people from their | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
home and send them to another place full stop they are going to be | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
living isolated, for the rest of their lives. | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
There is another issue, which is solidarity. When I speak to my | :31:05. | :31:13. | |
parents, tell them they should leave and they say, we can't afford to | :31:14. | :31:18. | |
leave. So we are there with those people and their supper whatever | :31:19. | :31:26. | |
they suffer. -- they suffer. Those people other neighbours and friends, | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
they are not going to leave them there alone because believing that | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
place doesn't change the fact of those people will die maybe tomorrow | :31:33. | :31:36. | |
or the day after. The homes in their country are being destroyed. Thank | :31:37. | :31:40. | |
you for joining us. With just three weeks to go till | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
the start of the Paralympic games - we speak to Team GB's most decorated | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
female Paralympian, Sarah Storey - she'll be telling us | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
how she's preparing. But this comes amid fears | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
of a ?90 million shortfall Only 12% of tickets have been sold - | :31:55. | :31:57. | |
and there've been oversight issues - meaning some athletes may not be | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
able to afford to get to the games. Let's get some sport. Again, more | :32:02. | :32:24. | |
success on day 13 for Team GB but also an eighth Olympic gold medal | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
for the in comparable Usain Bolt, the Jamaican easily winning the 200 | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
metres, he now goes in the four times 100 relay, he is aiming for an | :32:36. | :32:42. | |
unprecedented nightclub medal on the track. 56 medals so far for Great | :32:43. | :32:49. | |
Britain. Jade Jones retained her title in the tae kwon do, the same | :32:50. | :32:53. | |
one she won in London four years ago. A historic 1-2 for the Bradley | :32:54. | :33:00. | |
brothers, Alistair Brownlee beating Jenny Bramley by six seconds to | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
become the first man to win two Olympic titles -- Jonathan Bramley. | :33:06. | :33:12. | |
Tonight at nine p.m., Great Britain face the Netherlands in the final of | :33:13. | :33:19. | |
the hockey. It'll be a big one for them. Plenty more spoiled coming | :33:20. | :33:20. | |
throughout the day. -- more sport. Police in Essex say a boy who died | :33:21. | :33:25. | |
after being attacked by a dog It happened at Halstead | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
late yesterday. A 29-year-old woman has been | :33:30. | :33:34. | |
arrested for allegedly allowing a dog to be dangerously | :33:35. | :33:36. | |
out of control. The dog has been seized by police | :33:37. | :33:44. | |
and placed in kennels. The United States Olympic Committee | :33:45. | :33:48. | |
has apologised to the organisers of the Rio Olympics, | :33:49. | :33:50. | |
and the people of Brazil, for the behaviour of | :33:51. | :33:52. | |
a group of swimmers. The four, who include the gold | :33:53. | :33:54. | |
medallist Ryan Lochte, Brazilian police say they lied | :33:55. | :33:56. | |
to cover up an act of vandalism Latest reports say that Jimmy Fagan | :33:57. | :34:01. | |
is to pay $11,000 to a Brazilian On this programme yesterday | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
we heard calls for a post-Rio Olympic Games parade in Britain. | :34:07. | :34:16. | |
Now support appears to be growing. The Mayor of London, | :34:17. | :34:18. | |
Sadiq Khan, has said he is keen He said he was speaking | :34:19. | :34:21. | |
to the government and Olympic and Paralympic sports chiefs to find | :34:22. | :34:25. | |
the best way of celebrating the achievements of | :34:26. | :34:28. | |
British competitors. If I have my way, yes, | :34:29. | :34:30. | |
but we've got to talk to the government and the Olympic | :34:31. | :34:34. | |
and Paralympic chiefs. They will want it, that's | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
why I am optimistic, and what is important is we have got | :34:37. | :34:38. | |
the Paralympics coming up, I'm excited about that as | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
well, we celebrate our heroes returning home from Rio, Olympians | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
and Paralympians. The 2012 Paralympic Games were a | :34:46. | :35:09. | |
record success, a huge uptake in disability sport, but there is | :35:10. | :35:10. | |
concern about Rio. The International Paralympic | :35:11. | :35:13. | |
Committee has said there is ?90 million deficit | :35:14. | :35:18. | |
in funding for the Games. Only 12% of tickets have been sold, | :35:19. | :35:23. | |
and the funding shortfall means some athletes from smaller nations may | :35:24. | :35:26. | |
not be able to get to the games. On top of all that the Olympic | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
Broadcast Service has said it will only cover 13 out of the 22 | :35:31. | :35:32. | |
Paralympic sports because of a We hope to speak to Britain's most | :35:33. | :35:36. | |
successful Paralympian of the modern era, and who is set to compete | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
in her seventh Paralympics. Here to talk to us is Craig Spence, | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
Director of Media and Communications at the International Paralympic | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
Committee. Rosemary Fraser is the campaigns | :35:48. | :36:02. | |
manager at Scope. First of all, Craig, I want to speak to you about | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
this ?90 million that seemingly has gone missing. Where has it gone? We | :36:09. | :36:14. | |
don't know. We have been working with the rear 2016 organising | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
committee for seven years now, and the budget has always been there for | :36:20. | :36:26. | |
the Paralympic Games. Two weeks ago when reopen the 16 informed us we | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
needed to make further cuts to the services we offer, that's when the | :36:31. | :36:36. | |
alarm bells started to ring, we have now looked into the books with the | :36:37. | :36:41. | |
organising committee and effectively we're talking ?75 million needed, | :36:42. | :36:49. | |
for the Games to be at the level they committed. And it's not fair, | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
we're wondering, how can we bring in more revenue and how can we make | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
further cuts to ensure the Games take place with the budget | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
available. As a competitor, does this affect people's preparations | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
for the Games when they are hearing things like, there's not enough | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
money, some nations might turn up and we have only sold 12% of | :37:11. | :37:17. | |
tickets? I think in my opinion, the coaching staff and the Paralympic | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
Association is from those countries that you have mentioned, have to | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
think logically, and they have to continue with the process of | :37:29. | :37:31. | |
training to the best of their ability. And hopefully, that senior | :37:32. | :37:39. | |
people within their positions will bring in that money and make sure | :37:40. | :37:45. | |
that the facilities are there. And at the Games is going to be a | :37:46. | :37:50. | |
fantastic spectacle for the Paralympic athletes mentioned. | :37:51. | :37:55. | |
Craig, how realistic is it that these nations, some of the poorer | :37:56. | :37:59. | |
nations who wait for that money to arrive in their accounts before they | :38:00. | :38:02. | |
broke the plane tickets, how realistic is it that they may not | :38:03. | :38:08. | |
appear, is it just scaremongering? It could happen, unfortunately. We | :38:09. | :38:15. | |
have been committed, some money from the Mayor, and some money from the | :38:16. | :38:21. | |
state-run companies within Brazil. However that still leaves us with a | :38:22. | :38:24. | |
deficit, but with the money coming in, we are optimistic we can start | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
to pay the travel grants which were due to be paid to our national | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
Paralympic committees at the end of July. The problem is, some of the | :38:33. | :38:37. | |
smaller countries don't buy their plane tickets to Rio until the grant | :38:38. | :38:41. | |
drop into their bank accounts. Purchasing tickets to Rio just a | :38:42. | :38:47. | |
matter of days before the opening ceremony would be very expensive | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
indeed and I think it's a real threat that ten countries won't be | :38:52. | :38:54. | |
able to afford to the Games so we are working with them and their | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
governments to see how can bring in extra revenue for them so we can | :38:59. | :39:05. | |
ensure that all 165 countries we want to compete other and lining up. | :39:06. | :39:12. | |
I'm pleased to say we can connect with Dame Sarah Storey, preparing | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
for her seventh Paralympics. I know you haven't heard all our | :39:19. | :39:22. | |
conversations so far, we have been talking about disappointing ticket | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
sales, this ?90 million deficit, does that damage your preparations, | :39:27. | :39:32. | |
is it some kind of distraction? Not at all. As an athlete, you very much | :39:33. | :39:37. | |
train to control the controller balls, things that happen outside | :39:38. | :39:40. | |
your preparations, there's nothing you can do, and your job doesn't | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
change you have to be able to perform to your very best in an | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
empty room. I said this ahead of London, people said you must be | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
excited about four houses and the woman from the crowd, I said | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
absolutely but if it is an empty room. -- the war from the crowd. See | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
don't think it will make a difference if there are empty | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
stadiums? If it does, then you are distracted by the wrong think you | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
have to focus what is happening in your lane, in your event, the crowd | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
can make a difference, especially in a home Games but if the crowds | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
aren't there, that's no excuse if someone would pat you on the head | :40:23. | :40:26. | |
and say you can have a gold medal anyway because they weren't enough | :40:27. | :40:29. | |
people cheering, is the way things are. We have been through tough | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
things before, I know people will work hard and learn lessons from | :40:35. | :40:42. | |
this. Are you disappointed by the situation? I was saying in the | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
introduction that only 13 of the 22 Paralympic sport are going to be | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
televised because of this funding deficit, that must be disappointing? | :40:51. | :40:58. | |
Very disappointing, especially when you consider how little coverage we | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
get in between Paralympic Games, there has been no live coverage at | :41:02. | :41:08. | |
all since the London Games in 2012, so it's hugely disappointed, we have | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
a long way to go from the media perspective, to provide the live | :41:14. | :41:15. | |
feeds of people can take it up in the interim, it's the bonding at the | :41:16. | :41:20. | |
pinnacle of our sport isn't going to be televised. We are unfortunately a | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
little bit used to it now. You have been a huge aspiration to young | :41:26. | :41:32. | |
people, many the cup spot after London 2012, your preparations, | :41:33. | :41:37. | |
presumably feeling quite confident now? -- many the cup spot. I'm | :41:38. | :41:46. | |
putting everything into every single bit of training, I'm looking forward | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
to getting out on the start line. There's quite a lot of pressure, | :41:50. | :41:55. | |
after what Team GB have done at the Olympics, the cycling team, there's | :41:56. | :41:58. | |
probably a bit of expectation but we know you are used to delivering. | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
Pressure is something someone else puts on you, you put your own | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
pressure on yourself, it's about controlling what you can control, | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
you have to be able to perform when you sit in that start gate, on the | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
start line, looking along the track, whatever it is you're event you | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
can't allow those external things to distract you so you have to focus on | :42:19. | :42:22. | |
what you have done in training, no you are well prepared and can do the | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
best performance you can want the race gets underway. Before I let you | :42:27. | :42:32. | |
go, I know you have two get back to that all-important training, but | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
what is the feeling not only amongst cycling Paralympians but the team at | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
large? Is there a sense there are a lot of medals that can be one? Yes, | :42:42. | :42:47. | |
preparation has been the main focus for everybody, always has been, we | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
have been working away for weeks, months, years, to get to the start | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
line in the best shape we can be and when we get there, as the best | :42:58. | :43:00. | |
funded team in the world, there will be a lot of expectation and | :43:01. | :43:04. | |
hopefully everyone has prepared enough to be able to deliver. | :43:05. | :43:09. | |
Hopefully we will speak to you as and when you win a Paralympic medal! | :43:10. | :43:16. | |
Award to bring in Rosemary we were talking about how well London did at | :43:17. | :43:24. | |
engaging young people, filling stadiums, giving Paralympic sport a | :43:25. | :43:27. | |
platform. How frustrated are you at what we are hearing? It's incredibly | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
frustrating, thought we had cracked this. We did well at Beijing, London | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
was tremendous and now we are hearing this. It is sad for the | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
athletes who have trained so hard, who may not get there to compete, | :43:42. | :43:44. | |
especially from those smaller nations. That's more important | :43:45. | :43:50. | |
because it really helps in terms of thinking about how people view | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
disabled people more widely in society. Unfortunately I wonder if | :43:54. | :44:00. | |
this is what happens with disabled people, we forgotten about. I don't | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
make any difference between watching disabled and non-disabled athletes, | :44:06. | :44:11. | |
to me, I win is a win. So I think it's really disappointing. Is it | :44:12. | :44:18. | |
part of this Olympic overspend, it saying, it's only the Paralympics, | :44:19. | :44:24. | |
we can take money away? Unfortunately it feels like that, I | :44:25. | :44:26. | |
remember people saying, isn't it nice that those liberal go and | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
compete, like they had just decided they were going to do it the week | :44:33. | :44:40. | |
before, people don't understand the dedication and just the sheer hard | :44:41. | :44:43. | |
work that goes into training to compete at this level. We need to | :44:44. | :44:50. | |
see more and more disabled people in sport, also more widely, and I think | :44:51. | :44:58. | |
this really helps. It will help with funding, as we see with the success | :44:59. | :45:05. | |
of the cyclists, the funding they have received, if disabled sport | :45:06. | :45:11. | |
isn't getting that in the media, it won't flourish, younger disabled | :45:12. | :45:12. | |
people need those role models. Mark, you were a role member to some | :45:13. | :45:23. | |
of those younger people. As a Paralympian, you have to train | :45:24. | :45:26. | |
harder than the Olympians? I think going back to what the lady said | :45:27. | :45:31. | |
regarding funding, what that gives the individual or the athlete, as | :45:32. | :45:37. | |
Sarah Storey said earlier, to focus 100% on the process. The process for | :45:38. | :45:43. | |
an athlete, able-bodied or disabled is that they can actually focus on | :45:44. | :45:48. | |
training for instance, 25, 28, even 30 a week. Then letting the body | :45:49. | :45:54. | |
rest. Obviously when the body rests, that's when the magic happens. Then | :45:55. | :45:59. | |
they can set aside any other stress that will be related to their lives, | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
for instance. That's why certainly over the last two or three | :46:05. | :46:07. | |
Paralympic Games, that's why Paralympics GB naturally has done so | :46:08. | :46:11. | |
well. Because that funding has allowed the individual to train 100% | :46:12. | :46:20. | |
of their time and focus on that goal of bringing back that gold medal | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
from the Olympiad. Cregg, do you want to pick up on the point | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
Rosemary made that she feels like, because its Paralympic sport, the | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
Olympics can make a bit of their money, it doesn't matter, it's not | :46:33. | :46:38. | |
as important? I think this is just the Rio 2016 organising committee. | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
We saw it with Beijing, London, and we are seeing it with Tokyo, an | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
integrated budget where they treat both games equally. The Paralympic | :46:47. | :46:53. | |
Games has got a fantastic reputation for changing attitudes to | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
impairment. We saw with London 2012, one in ten people in the UK changed | :46:58. | :47:03. | |
attitudes towards people with a disability. Although we've only got | :47:04. | :47:10. | |
13 sports being broadcast live from Rio, we will have more broadcasters | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
than others showing pictures to 100 countries, we are expecting a TV | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
audience of 4 million people. We believe although we have these | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
issues with the organising committee, these games will make | :47:23. | :47:25. | |
more impact than ever before and further cement our position for | :47:26. | :47:32. | |
driving social inclusion. It's not all negative, there are some | :47:33. | :47:34. | |
positives to come out of these games, to. Is there anyway you could | :47:35. | :47:41. | |
appeal to the organisers in Rio and say, if we've only sold 12% of | :47:42. | :47:45. | |
tickets, go up to the favelas and give out tickets, let's fill those | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
stadiums for free so they are packed and it gives that real atmosphere? | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
The problem we have at the moment is the cost the organising committee | :47:55. | :47:57. | |
has this budget problem, we are having to reduce staffing levels and | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
cap the amount of people we can get into the stadium safely. So the | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
tickets for the Paralympics are very reasonably priced anyway. They are | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
effectively ?2 50 for the tickets. So they are accessible. We are | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
working on how we can bring more people into the venues. We want | :48:17. | :48:20. | |
passionate crowds supporting the Paralympics like we saw in Beijing, | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
like we saw in London, and like we will see in Tokyo will stop we are | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
trying everything at the moment to ensure these games are the best they | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
can be. Best of luck. I appreciate you taking the time to speak with | :48:36. | :48:42. | |
us. Still to come, Usain Bolt heads for a record-breaking treble triple. | :48:43. | :48:45. | |
He's got his eighth gold and is speaking to his ninth. We'll look at | :48:46. | :48:52. | |
some of his best moments. And we look ahead to what we can expect | :48:53. | :48:53. | |
from Team GB later today. A new survey of over 1,000 parents | :48:54. | :48:56. | |
suggests more than half let their children drink before | :48:57. | :48:59. | |
they turn 14 - and that one in three admit that they use | :49:00. | :49:02. | |
alcohol as a bribe. It's not illegal to let a child | :49:03. | :49:04. | |
between the ages of five and 16 drink at home - | :49:05. | :49:07. | |
but is it right? Joining us now via web-cam | :49:08. | :49:09. | |
is journalist Anne Atkins - the author of "Child Rearing | :49:10. | :49:11. | |
for Fun: Trust Your Instincts and Enjoy Your Children"; | :49:12. | :49:17. | |
and Dr Martin Scurr, a GP a GP with almost 40 years' | :49:18. | :49:22. | |
experience. Egg as a parent, would you let your | :49:23. | :49:32. | |
children drink? Are you asking me? Yes, absolutely? Yes, we have let | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
our children drink at home. If I give you an example, our youngest is | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
13. She's not actually at all interested in alcohol as it happens | :49:44. | :49:48. | |
but if we have some bubbly for some reason comes she is always offered | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
some. She hardly ever has any but maybe two or three times a year she | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
has a few teaspoons full of bubbly at Christmas or whatever it may be. | :49:58. | :50:06. | |
And I think that is, well, obviously it's healthy, good funding to do, | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
otherwise I wouldn't do it. What I do passionately believe is that the | :50:10. | :50:15. | |
parents are the people to judge this kind of thing. Of course it is | :50:16. | :50:18. | |
alarming to think of parents giving alcohol as a bride but that could | :50:19. | :50:21. | |
mean all sorts of things. It could mean you've passed during sums, | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
let's open a bottle of per second. It very much depends how the | :50:26. | :50:31. | |
question was asked. But we have to acknowledge is that blues is a huge | :50:32. | :50:36. | |
problem in our society now. Not just amongst teenagers and young people, | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
but middle-aged, middle-class, all sorts of us are drinking too much | :50:41. | :50:43. | |
and we do have to take that on board. But I do think the law is | :50:44. | :50:49. | |
right on this. And I don't think this is necessarily cause for alarm. | :50:50. | :50:55. | |
Let's bring Martin in and get a GP perspective on this. What do you | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
make of this? I think views have changed in recent times. Modern | :51:00. | :51:05. | |
neuroscience has taught us that the brain is very vulnerable in young | :51:06. | :51:10. | |
teenagers. In the past I would have let my children drink but I've | :51:11. | :51:13. | |
changed my tune on this because we now know that neural connections are | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
being made in the brain in the 11, 12, 13-year-old group, and these are | :51:20. | :51:21. | |
vulnerable and can easily be damaged. And so I really feel that | :51:22. | :51:27. | |
we are beginning to gain some better object of understanding of the | :51:28. | :51:31. | |
potential harm that can come from it. And although I respect Hannah's | :51:32. | :51:36. | |
reviews and I share her view that parents have to decide, I think we | :51:37. | :51:41. | |
now need to adhere to the advice of the Chief Medical Officer and | :51:42. | :51:44. | |
restrict alcohol to children over 16, and be very careful with younger | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
children. Even though there is perhaps a case made for teaching | :51:50. | :51:53. | |
them a little bit about caution and being careful about those sorts of | :51:54. | :51:59. | |
experiences. We had a couple of comments coming in that I want to | :52:00. | :52:03. | |
put to you. Robin sent an e-mail saying children on the continent | :52:04. | :52:06. | |
have a glass of wine with a meal at the same time as their parents, this | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
has been the norm for hundreds of years and nothing terrible has | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
happened to them? I understand that, culturally, particularly on the | :52:16. | :52:18. | |
continent, small amounts of wine they looted with water have always | :52:19. | :52:23. | |
been a social phenomenon. -- diluted with. Now we know that some children | :52:24. | :52:29. | |
are more vulnerable than others and that addiction is a potential | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
problem of anyone exposed to alcohol or any other drug that is active in | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
the brain, and alcohol is the most ubiquitous and most commonly used | :52:40. | :52:42. | |
drug that affects the brain in teenagers. Now we know that I think | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
we have to respond with greater caution and not just take a note out | :52:47. | :52:52. | |
of past history here. Let me read this comment to you, I'm sure you'll | :52:53. | :52:56. | |
agree. Richard my upbringing around alcohol was liberal and I've seen | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
photos of myself sipping drinks at a very young age. It was felt | :53:01. | :53:03. | |
demystifying the subject would allow me to have a more relaxed and | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
responsible attitude towards drink and I guess it must have worked | :53:08. | :53:10. | |
because as an adult I've never felt the need to go out and drink as much | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
as possible in one night and I don't drink often these days, I can just | :53:15. | :53:19. | |
take it or leave it. Do you equally take on board what Martin is saying | :53:20. | :53:21. | |
about the dangers of young children drinking? Yes, very much, and he | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
knows far more about this than I do. And yes it's very interesting and | :53:28. | :53:31. | |
important knowledge. And of course we must make that information | :53:32. | :53:35. | |
available to people. And I take it very seriously indeed. Because he is | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
the expert here and I am not. I think what I would say is that when | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
we overreact to things, and I'm not for a moment saying that Martin is | :53:45. | :53:47. | |
overreacting, I don't think it's necessarily helpful. And I think I | :53:48. | :53:54. | |
found as a young teenager, I mean my father always had a glass of sherry | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
before supper and I was never offered any and I think I grew up | :53:59. | :54:01. | |
with this mystique about alcohol which made it difficult for me. It | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
made it difficult for me to turn it down when I go to university, | :54:06. | :54:08. | |
whereas I didn't have any difficulty turning down fattening foods or | :54:09. | :54:12. | |
anything like that. That's only an anecdote of one, and I have not | :54:13. | :54:18. | |
become an alcoholic. So I think all sorts of approaches can be | :54:19. | :54:21. | |
appropriate. For instance it's interesting that now it's very much | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
frowned upon for pregnant women to have any alcohol. And my | :54:27. | :54:29. | |
understanding is that there is no medical evidence that says pregnant | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
women shouldn't have a glass of wine on the weekend. But we seem to have | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
gone a bit extreme because of the abuses that there are, and those | :54:39. | :54:41. | |
abuses are very real and very horrible. Going to many towns on a | :54:42. | :54:46. | |
Friday night and it is disgusting. Let's get Martin to respond to that | :54:47. | :54:49. | |
point just about pregnant women, I think it is important we clarify | :54:50. | :54:54. | |
that? I think that the current regulation which is that pregnant | :54:55. | :54:59. | |
women shouldn't trick at all has to be adhered to. Because different | :55:00. | :55:02. | |
people have different susceptibilities. And although the | :55:03. | :55:05. | |
feet of alcohol syndrome is recognised as being a feature of | :55:06. | :55:10. | |
large amounts of alcohol, the view medically now is that the only way | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
forward is none. Because levels change, people change their | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
attitudes, and it's far better to just say do not drink at all. I | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
really think we should adhere to that with pregnant women. Those tiny | :55:24. | :55:28. | |
newborn babies that are still in the womb, an born baby still in the | :55:29. | :55:33. | |
womb, may be highly susceptible. We just don't know. There have not been | :55:34. | :55:35. | |
enough studies to tell us whether there is harm from even quite small | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
amounts of alcohol. So better to play it safe. Thank you both for | :55:41. | :55:43. | |
joining us. I appreciate you speaking to us today. | :55:44. | :55:46. | |
Now - who says presenting by a beautiful beach in Rio is easy? | :55:47. | :55:50. | |
Last night one of BBC's Olympic presenters Dan Walker was giving | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
a round up of the day's sporting action when people on social media | :55:54. | :55:56. | |
asked him what was going on in the background. | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
For those asking what's going on in the background, we will not zoom in, | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
but rest assured it's not bad. It's just a hug. There are reading a | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
book. Apparently they are reading a book. They are reading a book in a | :56:11. | :56:15. | |
strange pose, OK? It's merely a book. We will find out what the book | :56:16. | :56:22. | |
is, maybe, a little bit later on. Bless him, sound terrified. | :56:23. | :56:25. | |
This isn't the first time Dan has been interrupted - | :56:26. | :56:27. | |
Last week it was by a Brazilian hen party live on air. | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
So much live athletics on the way on BBC One. Let's see what's going on | :56:32. | :56:38. | |
over here, it seems like a hen do. There they go. A Brazilian hen | :56:39. | :56:45. | |
party. They are clearly enjoying themselves. They seem to be all tied | :56:46. | :56:52. | |
together as well. Magnificent scenes. Maybe that's how you do it | :56:53. | :56:53. | |
in Brazil. Now Team GB success is set | :56:54. | :56:59. | |
to continue with yet more medals already guaranteed | :57:00. | :57:02. | |
in hockey and boxing. The question is what | :57:03. | :57:04. | |
colour they'll be. Mike Bushell can tell us | :57:05. | :57:05. | |
what to look out for. Usain Bolt has already won gold | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
in the 100 metres and 200 metres, but can he help Team | :57:11. | :57:13. | |
Jamaica to the top spot That would secure him the incredible | :57:14. | :57:16. | |
triple triple gold in all three The Team GB women's hockey team | :57:17. | :57:26. | |
reach their first Olympics final with a superb 3-0 victory | :57:27. | :57:32. | |
over New Zealand. Now they will take on defending | :57:33. | :57:35. | |
champions the Netherlands to battle it out for | :57:36. | :57:40. | |
the ultimate prize. Superheavyweight boxer Joe Joyce has | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
guaranteed himself a medal, He will be looking to emulate | :57:46. | :57:47. | |
the success of his former sparring partner Anthony Joshua, | :57:48. | :57:51. | |
who won gold at London 2012, And fresh from winning bronze | :57:52. | :57:53. | |
with Daniel Goodfellow in the ten metres synchro diving, | :57:54. | :58:04. | |
Tom Daley returns to the pool today. He won individual | :58:05. | :58:07. | |
bronze at London 2012, BBC newsroom live coming up next. | :58:08. | :58:20. | |
Thank you for your company today. Have a great weekend. | :58:21. | :58:22. |
