22/08/2016 Victoria Derbyshire

Hello it's Monday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Joanna Gosling in for Victoria,

A carnival inspired ceremony brings the Games in Rio to an end,

as the Olympic flag is handed on to the next host - Tokyo.

It was Team GB's most successful Olympics for more than a century.

We finished with a record haul of 67 medals - second only

A toddler has had to have both legs and seven fingers amputated

after NHS doctors failed to diagnose potentially fatal toxic shock

syndrome - we'll be speaking to his Mum and 3 year old Reuben.

Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.

Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking

about this morning - use the hashtag Victoria Live

and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate.

Let's get some sport with Will Perry.

A glorious performance by Team GB. Morning, yes it was, we have heard

that number so many times, beating 2012 by two, GB finishing second,

ahead of China, with 27 goals, certainly exceeding public

expectations, Team GB's most successful games since 1908. The

only host nation to increase its number of medals. Never before had

we won diving or gymnastic goals. Last night at the closing ceremony

Kate Richardson-Walsh carried the flag. Representation of everything

that has happened. It could have been 28 goals, Joe Joyce winning the

final medal in the super heavyweight boxing, silver, beaten by his French

opponent in a controversial decision according to Anthony Joshua who was

ringside for the BBC. We have heard from all sorts of people this

morning and night. Liz Nicholl, the CEO of UK sport, says that Britain

is now a sporting superpower, and of the 366 athletes who went to Rio,

129 of them, just over 35%, returning with a medal, including

every member of that 15 strong track cycling team. As I was driving to

work this morning I was listening to Rod Carr on five live, the UK sport

chair said that 40 and was a minimum target, you said the dream would

have been 79. There are always questions before a

big sporting event about whether the host country can pull it off. Rio, a

success? Yes, I think some of the controversy, there was the diving

pool, there was the incident with the road race, the track, which was

much criticised, some of the other things as well, yet in general the

Iolo cor authorities said these were marvellous games, and Brazil

inspired the world in very difficult times. -- the IOC authorities. Look

at that ceremony in the Maracana Stadium, colourful parrots going

around, with parrots. Overall, success, given the build-up, and the

fact that things are not ready until the last minute. Stunning ceremony

and the torch is now passed on to Tokyo, what can we expect from

Tokyo? We will be having five new sports, that's one of the main

things. We have got, sorry, not wrestling, we have got

skateboarding, karate, I've got a list here, climbing, and surfing

added to that programme. And one of the biggest cheers last night,

Joanna, was when the Japanese president, the Prime Minister,

appeared to be dressed as the computer game character Super Mario!

He came out of this enormous green pipe last night. Huge cheer for that

in the Maracana Stadium. The inclusion of those new sports, 18

events, 474 athletes. And the whole idea is to reflect the urbanisation

of these new sports so they will be planning to have skateboarding and

climbing in urban settings to make it more appealing to younger viewers

the Olympics. This was certainly one of the highlights of the closing

ceremony last night, a huge cheer in Rio for the Japanese Prime Minister.

Before I let you go there was something of a farce at the end of

the bronze medal match in the freestyle wrestling, what happened.

This was the wrestling last night. What do you do when you are on, for

a medal, it was suddenly taken away from you, this was the Uzbekistan

competitor, he was going for this medal, these are his coaches taking

off their clothes and throwing them to the ground. 18 seconds left of

this fight and he basically danced around his opponent, thinking that

he had won. And for not engaging in the fight they took the medal from

him. This was the Mongolian wrestler who was on the medal, they gave it

to the Uzbekistan wrestler and the coaches did not like that at all,

they took off their clothes and threw them to the ground. It did not

work, he didn't get his medal back, but remarkable, farcical scenes!

Raised a lot of laughs, though! Absolutely. Thank you, Will.

Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes has more.

Alzheimer's disease is casting a cloud over what should

The postmortem on the singer Prince found he died of an accidental

overdose. He was found in his home in April. That's a summary of the

news. It would have taken more

than the pouring rain at Rio's Maracana stadium to dampen

the spirits of Team GB. As they gathered for the Olympics

closing ceremony last night they were celebrating a level

of success they could only have 67 medals - 27 of them gold -

second place in the medal table. The Games ended with fireworks

and a spectacular carnival. And here they come! Great Britain

and Northern Ireland coming in, in their numbers.

A relay of a red ball! Hello, Super Mario, obviously. Or Luigi.

Rio and Tokyo are literally at the opposite ends of the Earth, a link

is being established between the two cities.

And here he is! Super Mario! And the man portraying him as the Prime

Minister of Japan! It really is now one of Tokyo's landmarks, appearing

alongside the Prime Minister. And we will see you in Tokyo in four years

Martyn time. That was one classy, confident taste of what is to come!

Wasn't that great? In a moment we'll be talking

to the relatives of some of our most But first let's have another look

at those winning moments. seem rather taken with the water in

Rio. From London to now, in four years, a lot of hard work and

setbacks as well, things I've had to give up and all that kind of

stuff... More importantly, I did it for my country. That means so much

to me. Will it be Britain, will it be

Australia? It certainly will be Great Britain!

They are fearless, they are without equal, they are history makers.

And Max Whitlock has made history! Gold medal is going to come the

Laura Trott! Jason Kenny has got it! And absolutely sensational

performance! Andy Murray is a double Olympic gold medallist! This is so

unique, so different. The crowd out there today were incredible.

Absolutely incredible, you know? It has been on my mind every single day

for the past four years. Gold and silver for the Brownlee

Brothers. Scores! That's the golden goal!

Great Britain have won the Olympic gold medal!

Isn't that brilliant? If you want to see it again or share it, you can

find it on the programme page. If it has got you feeling emotional,

imagine how the mums and dads of those amazing athletes are failing.

Laura Trott was one of the Brits making history, she became the first

British woman to win for Olympic gold buckles. We can speak to her

father, Adrian, who is back at work today.

With me is Mark Conway, the father of Sally Conway,

And Barbara Walsh is in Liverppol - she's the mother of the British

women's hockey captain, Kate Richardson-Walsh.

She won gold at Rio and bronze in 2012.

Thank you all for joining us, I think anyone watching that will be

feeling emotional but your hearts must be bursting out of you this

morning! Adrian, how are you feeling? Tired! It has been a

fantastic two weeks, not just for us but I think for all the parents and

actually the whole country. The way the team has performed has been

absolutely brilliant. Barbara, you were watching with a massive smile

on your face, it is still there, how do you feel about it? Absolutely

bursting with pride, delighted for the whole of Team GB but obviously

the hockey team in particular because they have worked so hard,

people do get over the four years the blood, sweat and tears they have

had to go through to get to that moment. Just delighted, the icing on

the cake that Kate carried the flag at the closing ceremony as well,

just an amazing fortnight. Mark, I imagine you are feeling exactly the

same? Exactly the same, I'm just so pleased for Sallie and for the rest

of the team, and to be part of such a massive, massive achievement. Did

you always know Sally would end up here? Did she'd dream of being an

Olympic champion as a little girl? Yes, she had that dream and we made

some steps, she went full-time training at 16, made some nice

choices. She has been through a bit of a journey and this was a proper

nice way to culminate her career, really. What was the journey? She

moved to Bisham at 16, moved out of home as soon as she left school, she

went to Edinburgh, further away from home, the coaching role changed, the

support role morphed, she had injuries to content with, she has

had some bad decisions against her, but for this cycle she just went in

injury free, her preparation was brilliant. She just knew, we knew

she could be on the podium. Just perfect, really good. It is a

sacrifice for the athletes, for the families as well. Barbara, you

mentioned four years of blood sweat and tears, obviously it is a lot

longer than that when you are the parent of someone who does have this

remarkable talent. Tell us what it meant for your family and for her?

Absolutely, it is Kate's for the Olympics, she nearly gave up in 2004

because the team did not qualify for Athens, and she had just been made

captain in 2004 and thought it was her fault they had not qualified, so

she went through that whole scenario of thinking, am I good enough?

Fortunately for the sport she carried on, and it has culminated in

being European gold medallists and now Olympic gold medallists. A

fantastic journey, a lot of sacrifices but so worth it for that

medal on Friday night. I am right in saying you are a coach yourself? I

was, yes. Did you coach her, did you push her along the way or was she an

unstoppable force who knew where she wanted to go? She was an unstoppable

force who knew where she wanted to go! Obviously we have helped her

along the way but she has done this for herself, an interesting story of

Kate was when she was 15, she was dropped from England under 16 is,

she was selected at 14 years of age, and the day the letter came, she sat

on the bed and cried, and I sat with her, and she said with me, one day,

mum, I'm going to play at an Olympic Games and win a gold medal, and that

has come true, and that was at 15, so a few years ago now. Good for her

and all of you. Adrian, what was Laura

like growing up? All of these athletes are a credit to the country

not just with what they have achieved but with their characters

and personalities. Laura is typical in that she comes across as

self-deprecating, a lovely person, but obviously there has to be a

steeliness at heart as well. I think with any professional athlete there

has to be steeliness because there has to be a point when you have got

to have that killer instinct. Laura has been, like the others, there has

been a steeliness, she's very driven, hugely competitive. Even

after winning, she will find something to criticise herself all,

if she has broken a world record, we did not break it by enough, we

should have done this... And I think it is the only way that they can

drive themselves, in Laura's particular case, to the point where

she is physically sick. There is obviously a switch inside them that

allows them to do it. But the minute she gets off the bike, she becomes

the giggling little schoolgirl that she appears when she gives

interviews. When did you first get a glimpse into that about her? I don't

know, it is just something that has been organic. You look at your

children and you think, they are just children, and we still look at

her as our little girl. Along the way, people have said, oh, she looks

good on a bike, we joined a cycle club, her first coaches said, oh,

she could be good. I don't even think they, if they are honest with

themselves, knew exactly how good she was going to be. I think at that

point the system takes over and she takes over, and I want to do this, I

want an Olympic medal. She isn't, I think, a fairly natural sportswoman,

she was a reasonable runner, a reasonable swimmer, cycling is just

where she ended up. Whether that was the right sport, not sure. She could

have done something similar to what Michael Phelps has done in swimming

on a Team GB basis, we will never know. But we will take this!

Definitely take this! Your kids are going to be inspiring kids out there

today, the staff of the future, and I know, Adrian, that Laura was

inspired by Bradley Wiggins, we have got a picture of her meeting Bradley

Wiggins when she was young. Tell us about Laura there, she looks about

ten or so? That was 2004, she would have been

ten, 12... 12 years ago... We went to a cycle show, Brad was there,

with the gold medal, and he said that we could have a photograph with

him, much to our surprise, he promptly put the gold-medal around

Laura's neck, to his credit he promptly took it off her and put it

around her sister's neck, so we have a matching set of photos! When you

get given something that, if you are the right sort of person, you get a

feel and you think, I would like one of those for myself! I know that

Laura is trying to get Brad to recreate the photo, with the current

batch of medals! We will have to see! I am sure that he will do that,

it is the least that he can do. When you look at what has happened with

the Olympics and British success, 20 years ago in Atlanta we got a single

goal, growing up, did you expect your child to be part of this cohort

of amazing success? Do you feel a part of it? We have become more

professional... It is nice to see the mistakes we have made in the

past becoming fewer. The money that has come in, so that we are

professional, getting ideas from different sports. Judo Association

is definitely have made some big changes. -- judo satiations. It is

nice to be part of a movement. -- judo Associations. Funding has

changed dramatically, if you look at the figures, Atalanta, the spending

by UK sport was ?5 million a year, it has now been 350 million spent

for these Olympics. Is that what it has come down to, the country

properly getting behind the talent? Absolutely, national lottery funding

has transformed the way they train, they went to a centralised programme

after Beijing, from 2009, so they are also basically hockey players.

People problem we thought they are on thousands of pounds, but it is

probable just enough to get them by, none of them have any savings, but

that funding has enabled them to have proper support systems. All the

athletes will say, it is not just about them as the players, as the

applets, it is also about the support team. The funding has

enabled us to have sport science support, nutritional support,

strength and conditioning. All those things are so important. That is

what makes things so successful. Pointing out as well, for you and

Adrian as well, you have your children's partners, competing, so,

really, double-double Success! Absolutely, it is a true Mendis

achievement, particularly with Kate breaking the door in 2012, and since

then, Helen has had a really bad back injury. -- breaking her jaw.

She has had serious back operation, we were not sure if she would be to

come back and play at all. For both of them to be on the podium on

Friday night, doubly special. Adrian, before she went along to

Rio, you said that she was hoping her boyfriend would get three gold

medals, so that he could perhaps get a knighthood, and she would be a

noble through him once she got married! I suspect there should be

something heading their way? God forbid! LAUGHTER

That is for other people to decide, I'm just really happy for Jason, and

his success. -- ennobled. He has had a rough cycle with perceived

nonperformance but he is a big game player. Come the Olympics, he

performs, going back to the funding, what is the important thing, the

performance. That is why we are building on the success of London

and previous games, because, as Lesnar call from UK sport said, the

government funding for the next cycle has been agreed, lottery will

be dependent upon family people go out and play it, over the coming

weeks, and months, and as an athlete, knowing that those funds

are in place, that is a huge comfort. It goes beyond the funding,

it is the support networks... As your backing track said, with a

little bit of help from our friends. It is perfect for the system.

Lovely, thank you, thank you all. Lawrence has said, " Team GB make me

proud to be British, great job by everyone them." Fil has said, just

cried at the montage. Barbara has said, the USA and China have more

people than the UK by percentage, by percentage the UK are the winners

for medals by a mile, so proud of everyone. So proud. Thank you very

much joining us, thank you. -- Phil. Let us know if you have been

inspired by what you have seen in Rio, if you have children that are

Louise's lawyer, Tim Deeming from Slater Gordon, is also here.

Thank you for joining us, I know that you are a big fan of Spiderman,

is that what you want to be when you grow up, somebody told me? There you

are! You watch, while we chat to your mother about what happened,

because obviously, it was traumatic for you and your son. Take us back,

last summer, burned by an iron at home. We were in the same room, he

jumped onto his 12-year-old brother, they both rolled off the bed, over

into the fire on the other side of the Rome, freak accident. Even that

happening is awful. -- other side of the room. We went to the burns unit,

what a small burn, two to 3%. This charge by them, follow up at

Chelmsford due that Friday, a leaflet given about things to look

for should he become unwell, the next day after that, woke up and he

was not right at all, 12 hours on the go, 12 hours sleep but this time

he was lethargic and shivering, rash on inner thighs, temperature, cold

hands, cold feet, not with it. Rather than rushing him anywhere,

the leaflet said, contact us, so I phoned them and they said, take him

to local Accident and Emergency, sounds like an infection. I did

that, we attended Ipswich Hospital, took him there, there just under

four hours, he was asleep for the majority of the time, absolutely not

right, very irritable. Obviously the doctors were concerned because of

the burns, they did basic observations, temperature, they gave

a scalpel, that reduce the temperature, saw the doctor and he

said, that is a severe sore throat, absolutely nothing to do with the

burn. -- Calpol. I said, what about all of these things on the list, and

the fact we have spoken with Chelsea and Westminster. He said, 36 hours,

far too soon for it to be later, I will prescribe penicillin, that will

sort out any infection should he get it. I was reassured by that. I have

challenge, I have asked the question is, it sounded like a reasonable as

the nation, I was told, if it gets significantly worse, bring him back

in. I was in hospital on the basis that I was worried in the first

place. The next day, still not right, my mother said, he is not

right, I said, this is how he was discharged. Taking penicillin? Yes,

to be honest, he became wobbly, early evening, and by that point, we

thought about dehydration, I was concerned because he had not been

drinking, because of the sore throat. I phoned Chelsea and

Westminster, they had been good on it. They said it sounded like toxic

shock sepsis. We went into their, and they said that my son was

critically ill, that we needed to give him fluids, they had to drill

into his bone. At first it was potentially that they may have to

incubate him overnight, intensive care overnight, that soon became

that he had to be transferred to a specialist paediatric unit,

transported by the transporting the next day, and blue lighted all the

way down to London. That is where we were aware that this was serious,

you go from one extreme, it will be sorted, to the realisation that you

could lose him. You are obviously rattling through everything that

happened, because you know that he is fine, but at that stage, Powell

were you feeling? I had been searching on the Internet The

Simpsons that it could be, it was not... The reality hit, in the

evidence, when you see him incubated, the team were superb.

When we got to Saint Mary 's, they said, the best we can hope for is

that he will survive through the night. Then reality kicks in,

potentially he may not make it. I found out subsequently that he had

had two or three shots of adrenaline in the ambulance, so the next

morning I went there, and he was responding really well to the

intravenous and the drugs he was getting, at that stage, it looked

like he was out of the danger zone for losing his life, and from that

moment on, it has been positive. I had a phone call when I was with his

godparents, we thought we were going to lose him. A phone call said, get

back now, I thought the worst. It was to get consent forms signed. I

can remember the walk, back to the hospital, thinking the worst. And

the relief when I went in there and he was still alive, from that moment

I have not stopped smiling. You were told he would lose his legs

and fingers... The consultant had tears in her eyes, but I can live

with that, he is still here, he has not got brain damage, I came so

close to losing him, and you have got to look at the positives. He is

certainly lively! Was he aware of what was going on? He remembers

everything, he remembers getting the burden and falling off the bed, the

iron got to Harry helped me. Rubin, be careful there, sweetie, because

there are lots of wires behind us. So what did he say... He had a lot

of dressing changes before the amputations took place and the legs

and hands were black and I spoke to the psychologist at the time and I

was like, you cannot hide it from him, I am very much about being

open, and he looked a few months ago at the pictures online because I

took some pictures for his memory, and he said, mummy, those lovely

doctors took away my horrible legs and gave me new stumps, so I thought

it would upset him but he was very positive about it. So, how are your

new legs, Reuben? Superhero legs! Careful! Shall I take Spiderman? Why

do you like Spiderman so much? You like superheroes, don't you? You

have been rebuilt, a bit like a superhero! What sort of legs have

you got? We have tractor legs and shark legs. They twist! We are

looking to get superhero legs, he has the option of Spiderman or

Ironman. The hospital has accepted for liability, hasn't it is Mac they

have been supportive? One think we are keen to get across, the legal

side is going on, they admitted for liability, Reuben and I have been

involved in a training video to work with them and we are looking at

promoting awareness going forward, this is about learning from the

mistakes and going forward, and we really have been working with the

hospital and equally what happens when the NHS goes wrong, but equally

they saved his life, so it is not detracting from what Saint Mary 's

Hospital date. Tom Palmer is it all sorted, the issues? Reuben sings

loudly. We have taken the positives and work with them across the board.

For Reuben, it is life changing. We have got to get everything he needs

the life, from now until when he retires. We have the Paralympics,

let's push, getting where he wants to be, he has got so much energy,

why not?! How do you plan ahead for the life of a little boy with

this... We have lots of independent doctors looking at what the futures

will be holding for him, we don't know how he will develop through his

majority so we have to look at this in stages but we work with the NHS

to get the right prosthetics first of all and take it state-by-state.

You are speaking not out of anger but because you want to raise

awareness of toxic shock sepsis? Sometimes we get thrown curveballs

in life and it is easy to get angry but it does not achieve anything. I

have the relief of knowing Reuben is sorted, so I am keen to look at how

we can get sepsis awareness across not only the first responders, the

doctors and medical profession but awareness to parents. I had no idea

on sepsis and that this could happen. The more that we can do to

promote that, whether it is leaflets, campaigns, getting it into

the red book that all parents kept, and equally looking to ensure that

they get the right legs to be children, I had not realised that

the ones on the NHS are provided for them to walk, which are the ones he

is wearing now, and when he goes into the playground he has to take

them off because he cannot climb steps properly. So I find it quite

shocking that children are not given the legs to be able to play like a

child. Other children that have meningitis that do not have the

legal aspects are doing fundraising, I am following them on social media,

and I find it absolutely... I had never considered they would not be

given the legs to be able to be a child. You hopeful you will get of

that? Rubin is going to be sorted, it is what we can do to ensure that

there is no liability, whether it is meningitis or accidents, no child

should have to sit in a playground with their legs for not be able to

play in a playground just because they do not have the right

prosthetics. What do you want to do when you grow up, Reuben? Spiderman,

I said! And do you want to go to the Olympics? You know the advert? He

loves the advert, there was another toxic shock film that we watched

recently and he saw him on their, and it was very much about

understanding. Mummy, mummy! There are lots of athletes with amazing

legs like yours. I want a cuddle! He has had enough! Thank you all for

coming in, it has been a joy to meet Reuben, do you want to shake my

hand? Thank you very much, we will keep across how you get on.

Ipswich Hospital Trust have admitted full liability

for the shortcomings in Reuben's care and have apologised

"Further training has been provided to A staff

on recognising the warning signs of septic shock syndrome.

We are committed to ensuring that Reuben is appropriately compensated

so that he has the care, prostheses and equipment

Thank you. Ballot papers are being issued today

to more than half a million people eligible to vote in the Labour

leadership contest. This number is made up of close to 345,000 party

members who were expected to cast their votes in the coming days.

Voting is also open to 129,000 people who have paid ?25 each to be

registered supporters. A further 168,000 people from other

organisations including trade unions will also have a fake. Voting

closes at midday on September the 21st and the result of the contest

will be announced on the 24th of September.

Let's go live to our political correspondent, Tom Bateman. It feels

like it has been a long time coming but we are almost there? This issue

about how many people can vote has been controversial because you will

remember a few weeks ago we had a court case with some party members

challenging the party, saying they were unfairly excluded

because there were new members of the party, but we know the final

figure will be more than 640,000 people who can vote for the next

leader of the Labour Party. I think that is staggering in a number of

centres, you have to remember party membership for the two big

Westminster parties has been declining for years and suddenly we

had the election of Jeremy Corbyn last year, and, since then, this

explosion in the numbers of people wanting to take part in the Labour

Party. Those who support Mr Corbyn would say it is all because of his

appeal to the grassroots, people who want to see an increasingly

left-wing party rediscovering its roots. Others would say, some people

are joining up because they want about the alternative, for Owen

Smith, but his challenger. One of the noticeable things that has

happened is the number of people paying the ?25 in a 48-hour window

that they had to do that for the right to vote in this election,

130,000 people come under that category, so they will all be

getting Ballot papers and, as you say, it goes through to the end of

September when we have the announcement about who will win at

the party conference on the 24th. Jeremy Corbyn has been talking about

extending democracy across the UK. What does he mean by that?

That will be his big theme for today and the coming week as he wants to

say what he thinks he has done to the Labour Party in terms of

expanding the franchise, the number of people who can vote, expanding

membership, he wants to do the same thing to the country, to

Westminster, to the House of Lords over there, but one of the striking

things he has been talking about is the idea of giving people

referendums over local issues, like if the council wants to bring in a

private contractor to do some work rather than council, he thinks local

people should have the right to vote on things that. One of his

spokespeople was challenged about that this morning, what if local

people wanted to have a referendum about bringing down the numbers of

immigrants or banning the burqa? That issue, I think, was rather

sidestepped by his campaign, who said those are issues for national

referendums, not what they are talking about. But certainly Mr

Corbyn has been showing the pulling power that he still appears to have

at his rallies, he was out in north London last night talking about his

idea of democracy, and this is what he had to say.

So, it is an election for one position in the Labour Party. But,

at another level, it is about how we do politics. It is about how we

develop our thinking, our thought process, how we develop our society,

how we empower people so they don't have to bow down before the rich and

the powerful that their voice matters and they do have real

control over their own lives and their own communities. That, surely,

is what this is all about. Tom, lots of people coming out, lots

of high-profile people in the party, coming at the back Owen Smith, the

latest being London mayor Sadiq Khan and the head of the Labour Party in

Scotland. How is support for each candidate shaking down?

In terms of those high-profile endorsements, Sadiq Khan yesterday,

Kezia Dugdale in the daily record today saying Jeremy Corbyn speaks to

the converted, he cannot talk to the country as a whole, she is backing

Owen Smith to be Labour Leader, that is certainly something he will want

to play on talking about as he speaks a bit later on this morning.

As for Jeremy Corbyn's side, they say, look, we have the overwhelming

support of the grassroots, those people we brought back into the

Labour movement, and a sign of the confidence they feel about winning

this election, one of his campaign managers was interviewed on the

radio this morning saying twice, Jeremy will win.

Thank you very much, Tom. Lots of you getting in touch after

we spoke to Reuben and his mum about the fact that he had to have his

legs and seven fingers amputated after doctors failed to spot that he

had toxic shock sepsis. Holly on Twitter says, love this boy singing

and walking about, smiling at himself on the camera.

On Twitter, this kid is adorable, his positivity at such a young age

after what sepsis left him with his beautiful.

JoAnn on Twitter, truly amazing, woman talking about her son and

toxic shock sepsis, inspirational. A text, how inspirational is Reuben?

If he wore trousers you would not know he did not have legs by the way

he moves. His mum is selfless helping others.

Let's catch up with the weather, it is going to get lovely again?

Yes, for some of us it will get lovely again, but it does not move

across the UK. This morning, murky, Mr, damp across western Scotland, as

you can see from the picture of Fort William. Also, as we move into

powers in Wales, a lot of cloud, rain, hill fog around, murky

conditions. Cumbria, a lot of rain around this morning, as we have

across the North of England generally. North Lancashire have had

in excess of 30 millimetres of rainfall, so expect

a lot of surface water and spray on the roads. As Joanna rightly alluded

to, for many parts, particularly parts of England and Wales, it will

turn hotter as we go through this week. The rainfall we have had over

the course of this morning, you can see that, the brighter spots show

where the heaviest bursts have been. Scattered across East Anglia, Wales,

Northern Ireland and western Scotland, as well. Through the

course of the morning we lose the first band of rain into the North

Sea, the second thinks southwards as a weaker feature with a lot of cloud

around, some of the showers in Wales will bird and it will brighten up

particularly across eastern areas and also the fab. Compared to the

rainfall that we currently have across the North of England, this

afternoon will be drier and much brighter. Here is the weather front

producing cloud across parts of Lincolnshire, in through

the wash area, East Anglia, the Midlands, down towards the south,

back into sunny skies and extending over the Isles of Scilly. North

Devon, North Cornwall, Somerset, closer to the weather front, more

cloud, there is the weather front across Wales, introducing more cloud

and some showers merging together. Brighter skies across Northern

Ireland, and the Scotland patchy rain in the West will transfer

northwards into the Northern Isles, so brighter skies will once again be

in the east. Through this evening and overnight, the weather front

still with us and what it will do is push northwards, taking the reins

through Wales, into Northern Ireland, England, Central and

southern Scotland. There will be some clear skies across England and

Wales but by the end of the night, once again we will be looking at low

cloud and some fog. It will not be a cold night. Tomorrow morning we

start off with that combination, very slowly it will break so by

mid-morning we will start to see the sun come out. But you can see the

rain pushes from Northern Ireland into Scotland, then it returned

across Northern Ireland so a wet day here. Temperatures, 14 to 17 in the

north, 25 to 29 as we pushed further south, possibly up to 30.

Good morning, I'm Joanna Gosling, welcome to the programme if you've

just joined us. After over two weeks

of non-stop sporting action, a carnival inspired ceremony brings

the Games in Rio to an end, as the Olympic flag is handed

on to the next host, Tokyo. It was Team GB's most successful

Olympics for more than a century. We finished with a record haul

of 67 medals, second only With that in mind we'll be speaking

to young people with a good chance We'll be talking to some young

athletes in with a chance of competing in 2020. But if they want

to succeed they'll need to show the kind of steel that hockey captain

and gold medallist Kate Richardson-Walsh showed as a

teenager. When she was 15 she was dropped from the under 16 team, she

was 14, the day that the letter came she sat on the bed and cried and I

sat with her and she said, one day, I am going to play in an Olympic

Games and I am going to win a gold medal, and that was at 15, that was

a few years ago. We will have all the highlights from Rio, including

all of the gold is that we won. Also on today's programme: prisons within

prisons, that is how the government plans to stop the spread of radical

extremism in our jails. Straight to will with all of the

latest on the Olympics, it is over and it was glorious for Team GB. It

was, good morning again, Team GB revelling in the glory of its most

successful Olympic Games for 108 years. As everything cam to an end

at the closing ceremony in Rio last night, Britain could celebrate

becoming the first nation to increase its medal count at five

successive Games. Team GB were winners across 15 different sports

and Adam Wild looks back at a momentous two weeks.

For Team GB, the wait for medals was short, but then again, Adam Peaty

does not wait for anyone. Water was perhaps an unusual colour,

but the colour for Britain was gold. Above the waves, around the base,

rowing in Rio was truly spectacular. -- bays. CO-COMMENTATOR: Carnival

time here, Great Britain the champions! Britain once again ruling

the waves, history here being written and then rewritten, Jason

Kenny's gold medal, his fiancee, Laura Trott, fourth, these were

tales of triumph and passion, Britain had found its golden couple.

Elsewhere, sibling rivalry replaced by brotherly love. Gold and silver

for the Brownlee brothers. Success that showed age is just another

barrier to be overcome, Nick Skelton, gold at 58, Amy Tinkler,

bronze, just 16. All games need superstars, Rio had plenty, some

catapulting themselves onto the biggest stage... How does she do it?

For others, a final flourish before a fond farewell. There were those

that arrived as superstars, and leave as legends. Usain Bolt is

doing what he always does, it is gold again! The triple triple, the

greatest ever! The Olympic spirit embodied in the heat of battle, the

fall and not left behind. Still, these were Rio's games, Rafael da

Silva, gold medal, fairy tale from the favelas. Coming first, that is

special, sometimes, being the first is a much greater triumph, the first

black woman to win swimming gold. These were the history makers. Andy

Murray, double Olympic gold medallist. -- Rafaela Silva. The

risk-takers and the heartbreak is. Incredible, so close to being an

Olympic champion! Some were doing what no one had done before. Some

were doing what no one has done for a very long time. Justin Rose of

Great Britain takes Olympic gold. Others were just doing what they

have always done. Mo Farah has gone, he is away! Mo Farah is going to get

gold for Great Britain again! The double-double! CO-COMMENTATOR: The

greatest distance runner that the world has ever seen, arise, Sir Mo!

Among such company, giving everything may not always be enough

but at times, it was just enough. Great Britain have won the Olympic

gold medal! Marvellous moments in the marvellous city, for these

athletes this was some party. STUDIO: What a couple of weeks it

was, look at this... Joe Joyce's silver in the super-heavyweight

boxing took the overall tally to 67 medals, to more than the home

Olympics four years ago in London. Britain ended the Rio Games with 27

golds from 15 sports, one ahead of China. Of all the athletes that went

to Rio for Team GB, 129 of them, just over 35%, returned with a

medal, including every member of the 15-strong track cycling team.

From the Olympics to the former Olympic Stadium, West Ham won the

worst Premier League match at the London Stadium, as it is now known.

Slaven Bilic's side beat Bournemouth 1-0, the winning goal scored in the

85th minute by Michail Antonio, not long after Bournemouth's Harry Arter

had been sent off for a second bookable offence. Uruguay striker

Christian Stuani had an excellent Premier League debut. He scored both

of Middlesbrough's goals as they won 2-1 at Sunderland. David Moyes is

still looking for his first win since taking over as Sunderland

manager. And, just a week after winning

Olympic gold, Andy Murray has been beaten in the final

of the Cincinatti Open Murray hadn't lost a set

all week, but the world number 14 came out on top

in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5. It's the first time Murray

has lost in 22 matches, since Novak Djokovic beat him

in the final of the French Open. I will be back with the headlines in

just under half an hour. Prisoners with extremist views

are to be held in isolated, high security units as part

of new measures to be The proposals were made

in an official review which criticised the current way

of dealing with Islamist VOICEOVER: The conviction last month

of one of Britain's most well-known was a reminder of how many

supporters of violent jihad, al-Qaeda and so-called

Islamic State are now being held in prison

in England and Wales. For years, there has been a concern

that these violent extremists A report this year by a former

prison governor warned that there had been complacency

at a senior level in the prison system and institutional timidity

among staff who are fearful of being considered racists

if they challenged extremist The new Justice Secretary,

Liz Truss, has now accepted most of the main

proposals of the report. She will create specialist units

within high security prisons to separate the most dangerous

extremists from other prisoners. Tighten vetting of Muslim chaplains

and remove extremist literature But the new approach,

the most dramatic change Some opponents warn it could make

heroes of the most infamous Islamist inmates and concentrate some

of the most dangerous men STUDIO: And a little later this hour

we'll be discussing what can be done to tackle extremism in prisons

sent out today to more than 640-thousand people with a vote

in the Labour leadership contest. The result of the contest

between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith will be announced

on the 24th September. Three senior Olympic Council

in West Sussex today to mark the one year anniversary

of the Shoreham air crash. A minute's silence will be held

on the Shoreham Tollbridge which became a temporary

memorial to the victims. A full report into the crash

is expected to be Pills seized from the home of singer

Prince contained the dangerously powerful painkiller, fentanyl, but

found that Prince died of an accidental overdose. The singer was

found dead in his home in Minnesota in April.

After doctors failed to spot that he had topped executives, Rubinho both

legs and seven fingers amputated. -- toxic sepsis. So thankful for the

brave mother, having the strength to come on live television and raise

awareness of the deadly illness, one viewer has said. There he is. She

said, when she knew that he had to have his legs amputated, it was such

a relief that he was not going to die, that she was not going to lose

him, she smiled, and has not stopped smiling, because she was worried

that he would not survive when he was in hospital.

Barely had the last firework exploded at Rio before Team GB

and UK sport were talking about planning for Tokyo 2020,

Coaches and athletes alike are already working ahead to create,

to find and to BE the next generation of medal-winners.

And they say that Tokyo could see us beating this,

the best-ever Olympic performance that Team GB achieved in Rio.

In a moment we'll be speaking to four young athletes who've got

but first lets take another look at Team Gb's amazing Rio record.

It gets me every time I watch it, it is by Robert Coxwell and if you want

to watch it again it is on our programme page and you can share it

from there. Team GB's record-breaking

performance is also inspiring 14-year-old runner Alex Millard,

here with her mum Helena. 14-year-old Callum Hockley,

alongside his mum Sam. And joining us from Sheffield is

Chris Eccles, Jessica Ennis-Hill's Thank you all for joining us. I will

start with Alex because Jessica Ennis inspired you to start running?

Yes, London 2012 was when I saw her get gold and it inspired me. Just

the look that she had, overwhelming happiness, and I just about like I

wanted to have that and get involved in the sport. Had you been running

before? I did at school and stuff but not really properly, so that is

when I started athletics club properly. What have you done since,

how are you getting on? I have done UK Championships, 1500, 800, and I

have one Kent schools and indoor, so it is going well. I should say,

behind us on the screens we have crammed in as many of the medal

winners as they can, 129 of the total team of 360 degrees got a

medal, just an amazing result. Who else was inspired by someone in

particular? Mo Farah definitely inspired me, he has the ability to

push in south as hard as possible, such a great attribute to have and

so inspiring. Was it London 2012 when you decided you wanted to start

running? London 2012 was when it hit home. Seeing it on the TV screens

and seeing these athletes who prepared for so long fought so much

of their lives, such an amazing sight to see, and with the gold

medal around their necks it is incredible. You are both 14, you are

aspiring to be there in 2024, is that right? Hopefully! What do you

think, mums? It is a commitment for the whole family, is that how it is

heading? We will have to see what happens, it is a commitment but it

is an enjoyable commitment and that is the crux of the whole thing, to

make sure that they continue to enjoy what they are doing because it

is hard work, Alex trains five times a week, twice on the track in East

Kent, in Canterbury, a lovely group of young athletes that she trains

with, and then some of the runs during the week as well. But we are

helping her on her way and she is determined. Laura, you may be at the

Olympics a bit sooner, you are a roller? You have only been growing

for 18 months but you are obviously making good progress, what have you

been up to? It is a bit less than 18 months, I am still in the start

programme. Explain what that is? It is basically the grassroots of

rowing. A lot of the medal winners came through Start, and they teach

you how to row, I had no experience of rowing at all, I used to play

netball but I applied online, went down and got tested, they test your

strength and endurance. What made you do it? I have always been

involved in sport, for such a long time, and I wanted to perform. I was

doing PE degree and I craved that performance element and bit more. It

has to have been watching Katherine Grainger and Alun Watkins at 2012,

it was amazing. Katherine Grainger has always been a massive role model

of mine, she never gave up and I thought, that is what I want to do.

It just escalated massively and watching Rio has been incredible, so

I went on the Start programme and got tested, they wanted me and 18

months later here I am. And doing OK! Good for you! Alex, what about

you? What inspired you? I do track in the summer and cross in winter.

My first taste of the Olympics was during 2012, I had done a bit of

running before then but only in 2012 the Olympic feel hit home and I

thought, I want more of the taste of this, so it is hard, like Callum

said, to look further than Mo Farah as inspiration but seeing the double

gold is really inspirational. And Martyn Rooney, the 400 metre one, he

is a local lad as well. You often think an Olympian cannot make it

from where you are but is the shining example of someone making it

to a game is more than once was an inspiration. It is one thing, a lot

of us watch and think, it would be great to get out there and be more

active, but to do it takes huge commitment, doesn't it? Have you had

any moments when you thought, this is harder than I thought, maybe I

don't fancy it? What is driving you? It is looking to the next race and

trusting that if you put enough training in, the race will sort

itself out. It is hard because, at a certain level, you still have school

and cannot just devote yourself to sport, it is a balancing act. It is

trying to get that right. It is often funny, with athletics, it is

not always fun during the race but the feeling afterwards is great, but

it is hard work when you are doing it so you have to remember the

elation afterwards when you do well. Let's bring in Chris, you were

Jessica Ennis-Hill's former PE teacher and met her when she was 11,

in 2004. Is it clear when a kid has got the

potential to achieve the sort of thing Jessica has achieved? On some

occasions it is, but I think also as schools we give young people the

opportunity to take part in sport and they find their way. It was easy

with Jessica because she had been to an athletics club over the summer

and came to us and you could see she had natural athletic ability,

whether it was playing netball, hockey or basketball, and it became

very clear in the summer when she was doing the first year of the

athletic seasons for the school and competing Investec Sheffield schools

Championships, she won the high jump and somebody called me over and

said, Chris, look at this young kid from your school, she just jumped

over her own height, which is an amazing thing to do at such a young

age and I have only seen it once since. In some cases it is, but in

many cases it is about young people finding what they want to do and,

once they find that and have that passion, they can take it forward

from there. How important is it as well to have the

grit to be able to deal with setbacks? I was talking to the

parents of some of the biggest stars from Rio earlier and they have all

had big knock backs, Barbara Walsh, Kate's mum, told she was not

selected for England when she was 15, and she sat on her bed and cried

and then said, I'm going to go to the Olympics. It is incredibly

important for them to have the resilience but that applies to all

young people. The Government talks about schools teaching resilience

but it is something that, by giving young people the opportunity to

experience success and failure, and embracing failure is a positive, --

and embracing, it gives them the opportunity to have that talent and

schools play a role in supporting that, but I'd think it is important

for young people, and listening to the young people told that, they

have fantastic support mechanisms behind them, whether it is their

coach or their families and friends, who help them get over that initial

disappointment and galvanise the spirit to go on and try to achieve

better the next time. We have got some young Olympic hopefuls here and

some mothers hanging on your every word!

What is the best advice to this group and anyone else watching who

has high aspirations? Believing your dreams, dream your dreams. You read

or listen to these famous athletes, that is what they have, they have

the dream and they want to achieve so highly. I think parents, friends,

school teachers, whoever is in the background, and the coaches, it is

about supporting them. I myself have a child who is aspiring to be a

sportsman and it is not about pushing them too hard, it is about

knowing when to push and went to step back and wipe them down, brush

them down when they have experienced setbacks, and just being that big

support mechanism for them. That is all we can do because, at the end of

the day, it is their internal drive and desire to succeed that will get

them there, and obviously a lot of hard work. Sam, how do you balance

supporting Cal? I think with Cal and it is being part of south London

Harriers, his running club, he does running at school, which is great,

but also the club supports him and I find that really helps because his

commitment is to the club, so they have to train, they have to put in

the hours, so my support is just to be there. He loves doing it, so

after school when he goes to his running club he actually really does

enjoyed going to see his trainer. They are all volunteers working

really hard to support their team, they are really very much into the

children and all want them to do well. As we were hearing, it is a

huge commitment when you are young and you have got to school and

friends as well who will probably say, white are you doing that? Come

out with us! And in the evening, when they do running club, he might

have to say, I cannot go, I have running. There is that commitment,

you cannot go one week but not the next, you have to be consistent and

that is how you improve. Let's end with thoughts about the Olympics,

because that is the absolute goal, obviously, and when you watch that

and all of the hard work, the blood, sweat and tears, that is what

matters. Laura, has there been a particular moment of Rio that you

have looked at and build, yes! So many, I couldn't even picked one.

Being a rower, watching Helen and had a win that gold medal again, we

all watched it, it was incredible. I think it was when Mo fell in his

10000 and still picked himself up and won the race, it was incredible.

The same, Mo Farah, but also Jessica Ennis-Hill because of how she has

gone away and had a child and still come back and got to where she was

and still getting Olympic silver, it is really amazing. I would say

Charlie Brice, and while he did not get a medal, seeing the relief on

his face when he made it to the final, that spoke to me, he looked

like somebody who had really worked hard. He did not end up with a medal

but he made it to the final and to the world stage, which was a really

big thing for him. Chris, how proud Ayew of Jessica? Incredibly proud,

not just of her achievements, but also, it has been

mentioned several times, the word wall model, that is what she is, she

conducts herself in such a professional manner, but she is such

an inspiration to so many people and I think that gives me more pride

than anything else, really. It has been lovely to talk to you all, good

luck and stay in touch, we will be watching!

Still to come, the BBC uncovers evidence of experimental drug trials

planned in the 1960s at two schools for troubled children.

Also, prisons within prisons, that is how the Government is planning to

stop the spread of radical extremism in our jails.

Team GB basking in the glory of their most successful Olympic Games

in 108 years. The overall tally of 67 medals, two more than the home

Olympics four years ago in London, thanks to Joe Joyce, with his

That's a summary of the latest news, join me for BBC Newsroom

In the late 1960s the government approved experimental drug trials

on children sent away to young offenders institutions.

According to files uncovered by the BBC at the National Archives

one trial, at a boys' approved school in Yorkshire went ahead

and the other, at a girls' approved school,

was blocked by the school's managers.

In neither case were parents consulted.

Approved schools were somewhere between children's homes

boys and girls were sent there by juvenile courts,

The Home Office was responsible for them.

What really did shock me more than anything is the fact that parental

consent was not sought, and was not thought to be necessary. By the

powers that be. That was, in my opinion, an unacceptable behaviour,

as far as the establishment were concerned and it is certainly one

that would have been shared by my colleagues.

That used to be the guard room. In 1968, Bob arrived as a teacher in

Yorkshire at this approved school, boys aged 15 and upwards were sent

here from juvenile court, it was a bleak place then, once a military

barracks, now, the former parade ground is packed with homes. It is a

fact that we did occasionally have certain stances which were perhaps

less than delightful. Boys did abscond, boys did bully one another,

from time to time. But by and large, over a seven-day period, over the

course of a week, the issues were very pleasantly approached and

pleasantly resolved, in my opinion. I have been sifting through

government documents here at the National Archives for many years,

and these are some of the most troubling files I have seen, they

show how, in the late 1960s, the Home Office approved secret drug

trial on children in care in approved schools, without seeking

their consent or that of their families. At Richmond Hill, the

local psychiatrist, Dr Hawkins, wanted to try out and anti-epileptic

drug on the most difficult boys, to see if it would calm them down. The

Home Office psychiatrist, Pamela Mason, approved it. -- Dr Pamela

Mason. The experiment went ahead with boys

being given the drugs for six months but there is no record of that in

the file, nor could I find any published paper in medical journals.

Had I known that such an sperm is being undertaken, I would have

disapproved. Would you have done anything? SI would have done, I

would have taken the issue as far as it was possible of the school. --

yes, I would. That would have meant explaining my disquiet to the house

mothers, initially, then the matron, then the doctor. And have that not

succeeded, then it would have had to have gone further. Perhaps to the

national press. Are you saying that he would have blown the whistle, had

you known about this at the time? Yes. It it was suggested that all of

the girls were out of control and they should be given an

anti-psychotic. I was very surprised, even if she

decided to speak to me, it went badly. They were not mentally sick

kids, they were maladjusted children, except the stray one, you

might have had epileptic fits, and things like that, but they were not

mentally ill children. What do you make, then, of the idea that this

local psychiatrist wanted to give every single girl in your school,

this actually rather powerful drug as a sedative, to chemically cosh

the entire school? There was no need for that, there was no need, the

children needed to work through their emotions, I think that some of

them... Some of the problems we have now because people were suppressed

as children and do not show their emotions and do not know how to show

their emotions. Were you surprised that the Home Office endorsed this

and supported it? Know, as I say, I think the Home Office at that time

were scratching their heads about what they were going to do with this

generation. -- no. This generation of maladjusted kids, approved

schools were full and there was a lot of them. That trial did not go

ahead, the managers of the school blocked it, not everyone in the Home

Office supported it, one official wrote that she shuddered to think

how an experiment of the kind posed would be seen if members of

Parliament ever found out about it. And you can watch that report back

on our programme page The Justice Secretary, Liz Truss,

is going to establish special units within prisons to hold

the Islamist extremists who are most The move comes after a report found

there was complacency at the growing problem

of Islamist extremism in jails. Earlier, Liz Truss spoke

to the BBC about the plans. We do have a small number

of extremely subversive individuals right across the mainstream

prison population. We have a significant number

of prisoners who are vulnerable to that message, and we have looked

at various alternatives and putting in a specialist unit or series

of specialist units is the best way, Let's talk now to Peter Dawson,

a former prison governor, from the counter-extremist

think tank Quilliam. This is a serious problem. Can you

describe a typical scenario? It is about power within the prison, about

a particular prison wanting to exert power over other prisoners for their

own agenda. -- Diggle prisoner. It may be about power outside of the

prison or within the prison, undermining authority of the staff

and the governor. -- particular prisoner. Since 2009, when we

released a report called unlocking Al-Qaeda, what we have seen is not

just an increase in salt assaults and offences that would land and its

remit in terrorism, with the growth of legislation, since 2001, but we

have seen the movement of a global jihadist insurgency, and timidity in

resins and other institutions, over the last 20 years we have been

trying to tackle this, all of these things mean there is a large number

of Islamist extremists in prison and a larger number of people vulnerable

to their radicalisation and treatment. It is people who go into

jail, with no extremist views at all, emerging with extremist views

as a result of being radicalised inside prisons. Yes and no, I'm

particularly concerned that we have a duty of care towards the entire

prison population. Even though they have committed offences, they are

under the care of governors. Anjem Choudary, very charismatic

individual, there are people like him, who trade on convincing these

people are things, manipulating these people, and pushing them

towards violence once they leave prison. These may be people in for

short-term sentences, not for 25 years like Michael Adebolajo,

already a terrorist, but people in four short of sentences who are

taken through the gears by charismatic recruiters and then go

on the outside. I am worried that prisons will become net exporters of

Islamist extremists and terrorists, unless we do something like what is

recommended in the report. -- for short sentences. Prisons within

prisons, is that the right thing to do? It is part of the solution if it

is done right, what the review says about those units was that they

should be temporary, so there should be a permanent home for -- they

should not be a permanent home for anybody, and they should be about

changing behaviours, so it is crucial that if people have to go

there, there is an effort to change the way they behave and think and

then they go back into the population so that any change can be

observed, the second half is about the people who are at risk, and that

is another symptom of a prison system under intolerable pressure,

not delivering what the people deserve. You have said that it can

work if it is done right, what if it is not done right? Our concern is

that if people spend too long in there, you are concentrating people

who will feed on each other's beliefs, they could become heroes,

because they are seen to be in an unfair, punitive place within the

prison, and when they get released, nothing has been done successfully

to change their behaviour or understand whether it has changed or

not. What do you think, when you look at situations where this has

been tried in other environments, like Northern Ireland, several

examples, is it the right thing to do? Is it the best way? I agree that

these things should be temporary, fitting within a general

rehabilitative scenario within prisons that first Michael Gove and

no Liz Truss is trying to create within the prison estate. It is

important that they are not seen as punitive rather that they are seen

as rehabilitation, reintegration into a wider prison population is

the goal, and then into the general population outside of prisons is

part of that. -- now Liz Truss. But we have got to ask difficult

questions about ideology and understand the difference between

ideology and faith and not allow that fixed in complex to manifest.

Realistically, is present the right environment to do radical as

somebody with strong extremist views? Yes, there are strong

examples around the world of deradicalisation taking place.

Egypt's system has been marked as a success story. They have identified

different types of Islamist extremist, whether hardened

jihadists or more Muslim Brotherhood style extremists, and put them on

different resumes, engaging with them in different ways, and

understood that different people can have an impact on turning their

lives around. Just as you would with all sorts of other offenders,

rehabilitation is very personal, very bespoke course that is

required, and that is what we need to invest in. I think these units

that are temporarily and bespoke courses for the extremists is

exactly the right way to do it. Thank you both very much.
