:00:09. > :00:13.It's time to join the news teams Tonight on BBC London News. A
:00:13. > :00:17.vision of east London after the Games. The mayor outlines his
:00:17. > :00:24.legacy plans. We'll look at the challenges London
:00:24. > :00:28.faces to fulfil the promises. Also tonight: as fans queue for the
:00:28. > :00:34.last-remaining tickets, Olympic chiefs hail London 2012 a great
:00:34. > :00:40.success. All the people have been really nice to visitors. The
:00:40. > :00:44.volunteers are also very nice people.
:00:44. > :00:49.Africa Village has been one of the most popular of the so-called
:00:49. > :00:59.Olympic Houses across the capital, but unpaid bills means it's shut
:00:59. > :01:01.
:01:01. > :01:04.Good evening and welcome to the programme. "A Golden Games,
:01:05. > :01:08.followed by an incredible legacy." That's what the Mayor promised
:01:08. > :01:11.today, as he outlined how the city will benefit from the billions that
:01:11. > :01:14.have been invested for the Olympics. Once the action here is over, the
:01:14. > :01:18.Athletes' Village will be turned into housing, which will be ready
:01:18. > :01:20.for next year. There are also plans for more flats and houses to be
:01:20. > :01:30.built as new neighbourhoods are developed inside the Park, bringing
:01:30. > :01:33.
:01:33. > :01:37.the total of new homes to 10,000. Karl Mercer is in Stratford now.
:01:37. > :01:42.Come down about 20 floors from where you are and I'm on the ground
:01:42. > :01:46.of the Carpenters eestate. It is an estate, like where you are, that
:01:46. > :01:50.silts on the edge of the Olympic Park. It is here on the ground
:01:50. > :01:54.where Olympic bosses will have to perform at least as well as they
:01:54. > :01:59.have over the last two weeks, over the next ten years, if they are to
:01:59. > :02:03.deliver that key buzz word of "legacy."
:02:03. > :02:07.This is the grand vision for the Olympic Park when the world's gaze
:02:07. > :02:14.finally turns away from London, tree-lined pathways, shiny new
:02:14. > :02:18.homes and of course, blue skies. This bright new future, or legacy
:02:18. > :02:21.as the men in suits call it, was the theme of the day for London's
:02:21. > :02:26.mayor. All the estimates I have seen show that the Olympic Park
:02:26. > :02:32.will continue to be a place where people want to go, it will be a
:02:32. > :02:35.pole of an attraction and Daniel and his colleagues on the London
:02:35. > :02:39.Legacy Development Corporation are there to continue to load the
:02:39. > :02:44.trolley. Work on change the park starts as soon as the Paralympics
:02:44. > :02:49.end. The Athletes Village will be remained the East village with
:02:49. > :02:53.2,800 home, nearly half affordable with families moving in next year.
:02:53. > :02:57.It won't end, eventual lit park will be home to five new
:02:57. > :03:01.neighbourhoods, starting in 2015 and finishing in maybe a decade.
:03:01. > :03:07.Those behind the revamp say it'll be a new community for locals.
:03:07. > :03:09.is very much a place for local people. There are just under 1,400
:03:09. > :03:14.affordable homes. Of those affordable homes about half will be
:03:14. > :03:18.for social rent. So rents similar to council level of rent. One-
:03:18. > :03:21.quarter will be for shared owners and the other quarter will be for
:03:21. > :03:25.people renting to below market levels of rent. Newham council
:03:25. > :03:28.where, most of the park sits will put more than 300 families in the
:03:28. > :03:33.new village but its mayor admits it's very much only the start.
:03:33. > :03:36.will be making sure we get people in there. We are prioritising
:03:36. > :03:40.people who work and prioritising people that will make a difference.
:03:40. > :03:45.It is only a small number for the housing demand. We want to see
:03:45. > :03:49.housing development but we also want jobs. Not everyone is
:03:49. > :03:53.convinced. Some locals at this estate not buying the regeneration
:03:53. > :03:58.game. I'm not buying it. Joseph fears locals won't be moved on to
:03:58. > :04:01.the park and won't be able to afford what are being branded as
:04:01. > :04:04.affordable homes. I think the housing legacy will be to get on a
:04:04. > :04:07.bus and get out of Newham. That's pretty much what the mayor is
:04:07. > :04:10.hoping to do with a lot of the people who are here. The kind of
:04:10. > :04:14.people he doesn't want here. The people who are lower income, people
:04:14. > :04:17.who are poorer. Convincing Londoners that they'll get a
:04:17. > :04:23.lasting legacy with the Games will be as tough, if not tougher than
:04:23. > :04:28.putting on a month of the Olympics and Paralympics.
:04:28. > :04:30.There is a huge challenge still ahead. You see the Orbit standing
:04:31. > :04:34.proudly over the Olympic Park at the moment. There is a huge
:04:34. > :04:39.challenge ahead to make sure it is still standing in pride of place in
:04:39. > :04:43.20 years' time. 1 Thank you very much Stay with us,
:04:43. > :04:49.lots more to come, including: I've spent the day on HMS Ocean
:04:49. > :04:57.here in Greenwich. The Navy's largest ship, helping to protect
:04:57. > :05:00.the Olympic Games. There are still three days to go but London's Games
:05:00. > :05:03.is already getting praise from the International Olympic Committee.
:05:03. > :05:07.Two leading figures, including the IOS President, says the 2012 Games
:05:07. > :05:14.are a great success. Our Olympics Correspondent Adrian Warner is
:05:14. > :05:18.inside the Olympic Park for us now. Very positive words. Absolutely.
:05:18. > :05:21.The IOC President, Jacques Rogge, has been praising the British
:05:21. > :05:24.crowds for not just cheering on Brits but the international
:05:24. > :05:29.athletes, too. But they don't normally like making comparisons
:05:29. > :05:35.saying these are the greatest Games ever but what happened today was
:05:35. > :05:40.very interesting. Danny Oswald, the man who has monitored the games for
:05:40. > :05:44.the IOC started comparing them to Li hammer, that was a winter Games
:05:44. > :05:48.in '94 which was amazing in terms of atmosphere a small place with
:05:48. > :05:52.passion and intimacy. They thought they'd never be able to create a
:05:52. > :05:59.Games like that againings and certainly for a big city like
:05:59. > :06:04.London to do it, is huge praise. Certainly friendly Games, all the
:06:04. > :06:09.people have been really nice to visitors, the volunteers are also
:06:09. > :06:12.very nice people and, yes, certainly this is one of the
:06:12. > :06:14.positive aspects. There are many more. The quality of the
:06:14. > :06:17.organisation and also the performances of the athletes. We
:06:18. > :06:22.have had a great competition neverry sport.
:06:22. > :06:28.And what have the athletes been saying about the atmosphere?
:06:28. > :06:32.have heard today from Gabby Douglas. She is eight big gymnast in the the
:06:32. > :06:37.American team who has done well here. She was full of praise for
:06:37. > :06:43.the crowds. To have the crowd behind you, you know clap for your
:06:43. > :06:47.floor routine or just clap any wise and be so loud is an important
:06:47. > :06:51.thing. I love the crowd it. Motivates me to do better and
:06:51. > :06:56.better things to put on a great show for them. The crowd has been
:06:56. > :07:01.amazing here. I think the world always knew that Brits loved their
:07:01. > :07:06.sport but any old-fashioned idea on the other side of the planet that
:07:06. > :07:08.Londoners are reserved and not willing to be as passionate as the
:07:08. > :07:11.South Americans or southern Europeans has gone out of the
:07:11. > :07:14.window. Thank you. Well that feel-good
:07:14. > :07:17.factor has meant that people are going to great lengths to get their
:07:17. > :07:20.hands on the last of the remaining tickets. Many have been queueing
:07:20. > :07:27.for hours at the national houses across London which are entitled to
:07:27. > :07:31.sell them. Trying to secure a ticket to the Games has become an
:07:31. > :07:37.Olympic sport in its own right. This was the queue in Islington
:07:37. > :07:41.today, as the Czech republic's Olympic Committee continued to sell
:07:41. > :07:46.its remaining allocation on a first-come, first-served business.
:07:46. > :07:49.I thought I was on to a winner, and then I got here and it was fairly
:07:49. > :07:53.long. I think you have to wake up seriously early. I think some
:07:53. > :07:59.people have been camping. These These are some of the tickets, we
:07:59. > :08:05.have canoe sprint. We have tae kwon do for �35. We have basketball for
:08:05. > :08:09.�85 and the beach volleyball final, �450. There is an admiration fee on
:08:09. > :08:12.top. None of those events are on the Olympic Park, there were
:08:12. > :08:16.handball tickets on sale earlier today but what most people want is
:08:16. > :08:20.a way on to the Olympic Park. You have to get here very early for
:08:20. > :08:24.that. Show us your tickets, how are you feeling? It was a great success.
:08:24. > :08:29.I have been waiting for a long time standing outside but it was worth
:08:29. > :08:36.it. How long were you waiting? I don't even know, I think at least
:08:36. > :08:40.seven or eight hours. OK, understood. Others walked away
:08:40. > :08:44.empty handed. The key for us was that nothing was happening for the
:08:44. > :08:49.Olympic village. And that was really why we were here.
:08:49. > :08:52.And, so, I'm quite happy to see a lot of it on television. For those
:08:52. > :09:00.wanting the live experience, though, the queueing for the last tickets
:09:00. > :09:03.will begin again tomorrow morning. The hospitality centre for African
:09:03. > :09:06.nations competing in the Olympic games has had to close because of
:09:06. > :09:09.unpaid debts. Africa Village owes suppliers
:09:10. > :09:12.hundreds of thousands of pounds. It was the first time at an Olympic
:09:13. > :09:19.Games that the 53 African nations competing had come together to host
:09:19. > :09:24.one, specially dedicated space. Our reporter Nick Beake is there now.
:09:24. > :09:26.It was going to well. The organisers tell us that more than
:09:26. > :09:30.80,000 people came to Africa Village since it opened at the
:09:30. > :09:34.start of the Games. It seems that lots of people were coming in, but
:09:34. > :09:39.not much money was being paid out, namely to the suppliers and so,
:09:39. > :09:43.it's shut. Now, of course lots of people disappointed. You can see
:09:43. > :09:47.here from these pictures in happier times what was on offer in Africa
:09:47. > :09:51.Village. There was a real taste of Africa. You had restaurants and
:09:51. > :09:54.stalls. Today, though, lots of people turning with up bemused
:09:54. > :09:59.faces. They thought they had come for a day out only to be told there
:09:59. > :10:03.was nothing on. Very letdown about the whole thing. I don't think it
:10:03. > :10:05.portrays a good image about Africa. They will all be thinking it is the
:10:05. > :10:10.Africa Village but they are not thinking about the contractors who
:10:10. > :10:15.have done this job. They are the people they should be looking at,
:10:15. > :10:18.not the African village per se. It is very frustrating.
:10:18. > :10:23.Well Geraldine there was representing Cameroon. She had a
:10:23. > :10:27.crafts stall inside. Lots of families, too, have been telling us
:10:27. > :10:31.how disappointed they are not to be able to have the day out they had
:10:31. > :10:36.planned. I was coming, and I was excited to have a look. It is a bit
:10:36. > :10:39.of a shame it is closed. It is not very easy for us to come out on a
:10:39. > :10:46.hot day like this with all the children. We thought we could make
:10:46. > :10:51.a day out of it. But, we are upset. So, is there any hope that it could
:10:51. > :10:55.re-open before the end of the Games? Well, we are told that still
:10:55. > :11:00.hundreds of thousands of pounds, possibly as much as �400,000 is
:11:00. > :11:04.still owed to suppliers. There have been talks today to see if they
:11:04. > :11:08.would be maybe able to get it going for the last few days but in the
:11:08. > :11:13.last half an hour or so I spoke to one of the people behind it and
:11:13. > :11:17.they say sadly, Africa Village will not now be opening for the
:11:18. > :11:20.remainder of the Games. Thank you.
:11:21. > :11:24.If you've been to any events in Greenwich during the Olympics, you
:11:24. > :11:27.may have seen the 20,000 tonne HMS Ocean docked nearby. It came up the
:11:27. > :11:31.Thames last month as part of the security measures during the Games.
:11:31. > :11:36.And our reporter Matthew Morris has been taking a look around.
:11:36. > :11:40.Returning back to base after a 12- shower shift securing the Olympic
:11:40. > :11:45.equestrian venue in Greenwich. That means it must be time to eat.
:11:45. > :11:49.Many of the 1,000 personnel on board have served in places like
:11:49. > :11:52.Afghanistan and Iraq, making the London Olympics an unusual
:11:52. > :11:57.deployment. It's been really good, really, really good. It's my first
:11:57. > :12:01.time of actually experiencing the Olympics myself. People have come
:12:01. > :12:06.up and spoke to us saying how well we've been and they are pleased to
:12:06. > :12:10.see us there as a presence. It's the Royal Navy's largest ship at
:12:10. > :12:14.the heart of the Olympic security plan. Everyone is busy but these
:12:14. > :12:19.helicopter crews do not want to be called into action. In total there
:12:19. > :12:24.are seven helicopters on HMS Ocean and at any given time 24 hours a
:12:24. > :12:29.day there are always two helicopters on immediate standby.
:12:29. > :12:33.Each will have four people on board, two aircrew and two snipers. Ocean
:12:33. > :12:37.is a large visible presence here in Greenwich on the Thames. Our
:12:37. > :12:42.helicopters are here ready to respond but n inactivity of the
:12:42. > :12:47.helicopters is a sign of success. The headlines will be grabbed by
:12:47. > :12:51.those up on deck. Seven floors below, fixing sewage pipes they are
:12:51. > :12:55.also working hard. We are a floating hotel. We have to keep it
:12:55. > :12:58.air-kind and provide lighting. Behind us we have one of the sewage
:12:58. > :13:03.treatment plants. We deal with our own sewage. The product we put out
:13:03. > :13:08.is clean water at the end. There is a lot of stuff that keeps us going
:13:08. > :13:12.at a steady hum underneath. When not on standby there are chances to
:13:12. > :13:16.get away. It's the home Olympics and it is a home deployment, too.
:13:16. > :13:20.It is great to be doing this sort of thing at home which is a big
:13:20. > :13:25.difference. Obviously the family is not too far away, it is easy to get
:13:25. > :13:30.in touch and phonecalls. Yesterday I was fortunate to be up at ExCel
:13:30. > :13:35.watching the men's team table- tennis, a Chinese victory but a
:13:35. > :13:40.great atmosphere. Even time off for the ship's captain? A few hours, it
:13:40. > :13:45.was great. Time to head back. HMS Ocean will stay in Greenwich until
:13:45. > :13:55.after the Paralympics. Still to come before 7.00pm:
:13:55. > :13:57.
:13:57. > :14:00.Why synchronised swimming is a One of the most positive images
:14:00. > :14:04.during last year's riots was the way in which communities came
:14:04. > :14:07.together with buckets and brooms to clean up the capital and reclaim
:14:07. > :14:12.the streets. The man who co- ordinated the thousands of people,
:14:12. > :14:19.largely through social media, has found a new way of connecting like-
:14:19. > :14:23.minded residents who want to improve their part of London.
:14:23. > :14:33.Burning buildings, looting, but thin blue line stretched beyond the
:14:33. > :14:38.limit. Clapham Junction last summer. But right clean-up, it Twitter -
:14:38. > :14:43.Tadd set up on his laptop, helped to arrange this. This is the man
:14:43. > :14:46.who worked day and night to make it happen. It showed that people want
:14:46. > :14:51.to help, they want to get out and make a difference. That's what we
:14:51. > :14:55.are trying to keep going but the next project I'm working on. So the
:14:55. > :14:59.riots wasn't about destruction, you think? The riots were about
:14:59. > :15:04.community in lots of different ways. One expression of that was to smash
:15:04. > :15:08.things up and say, I'm fed up with my community. Another was to say, I
:15:08. > :15:12.like the community and I want to help it. For 1000 were arrested
:15:12. > :15:17.after the riots, but Dan says 12,000 people took part in the
:15:17. > :15:21.clean-up. So he has spent the last year and �100,000 of government
:15:21. > :15:25.money creating a website, we will gather. Type in your local project,
:15:25. > :15:31.time and date. The site co- ordinates the community spirit that
:15:31. > :15:35.came out of the riots and puts it to work. The minister, a west
:15:35. > :15:39.London MP backing Dan's idea, believes it's worth every penny.
:15:39. > :15:42.We've seen a lot of local pride in the Jubilee and the Olympics, so
:15:42. > :15:48.let's tap into that and see how people respond. You are convinced,
:15:48. > :15:51.aren't you? Totally. Part of my job is ago around the country and I
:15:51. > :15:58.visit people and these groups who are doing this. I know how much
:15:58. > :16:02.they get out of it. Andrew bales took an now-famous picture that
:16:03. > :16:06.says so much about last summer. He was part of the broom army. What do
:16:06. > :16:10.you remember of the moment when you took your photograph? I remember
:16:10. > :16:12.thinking this was a really wonderful moment. I remember
:16:13. > :16:19.thinking this was a group of people getting together to do something
:16:19. > :16:23.that is good. There was a real sense of community. We will gather
:16:23. > :16:31.is a test of whether some good can come from some of the capital's
:16:31. > :16:35.darkest days. With the capital's athletes doing so well, what
:16:35. > :16:40.happens next? Earlier, we heard how new housing will be created in the
:16:40. > :16:44.park, but what will the legacy before sport in the community?
:16:44. > :16:50.Katharine Carpenter is in Victoria Park, at an event to encourage the
:16:50. > :16:55.talent of the future. You can't get down to grassroots sports at a more
:16:55. > :16:59.grassroots level than this. Many of the children here are having their
:16:59. > :17:03.very first taste of athletics. 300 of them have had a go through this
:17:03. > :17:07.project to date. It's been a massive hit. I loved it all, it was
:17:07. > :17:12.all great and I'd like to do it again, I'd come back if I get a
:17:12. > :17:17.chance. I didn't used to really like sport but I like it when all
:17:17. > :17:21.this has come out. A I'd like the speed bumps, because I want to jump
:17:21. > :17:26.higher and faster. You think you could be a future Olympian? Maybe.
:17:27. > :17:32.I really want to be in the Olympics. What would you like to do? The high
:17:32. > :17:41.jump. The question is - how can all that enthusiasm be transformed into
:17:41. > :17:46.an enduring legacy, not just for athletics but for sports? Yes, she
:17:46. > :17:50.is interested in the Olympics, but for her and her friends this is
:17:50. > :17:55.less about competition than diversion, and it's free, too.
:17:56. > :17:59.winner! It is a summer camp for youngsters from the White City
:17:59. > :18:03.estate in west London, run by a charity which really hopes the
:18:03. > :18:10.current euphoria will translate into people appreciating the wider
:18:10. > :18:14.overall importance of sport. If we set about it and mean it and go out,
:18:14. > :18:17.mobilise the people and the resources, go out and build sports
:18:17. > :18:21.sessions in disadvantaged areas, we can change the local sporting
:18:21. > :18:24.landscape. The money short everywhere, another charity linked
:18:24. > :18:28.to this scheme is trying to get people to give up not their cash
:18:28. > :18:32.but their time. You can volunteer in loads of ways. You can be a
:18:32. > :18:36.coach, held in the kitchens, be a treasurer. We want to encourage
:18:36. > :18:41.everyone to think about their community sport in their area and
:18:41. > :18:46.just get involved. A spread yourselves wider. Caroline already
:18:46. > :18:50.gives up her time, a lot of it. She's built up this club in Newham,
:18:50. > :18:54.so there are now 10 teams. She gets the use of the sports hall very
:18:54. > :18:58.cheaply but as for the rest, she scrapes together what she can.
:18:58. > :19:07.of it from subs, some of it from training and the rest of it from my
:19:07. > :19:10.bank account. We just about manage to stay afloat. The many clubs
:19:10. > :19:14.struggling to break even, some are calling for simple measures like

:19:35. > :19:37.hoped to have captured well the spirit of the London Games, but his
:19:37. > :19:40.own sports legacy programme isn't running quite so smoothly. There
:19:41. > :19:45.have been delays in spending millions of pounds on refurbishing
:19:45. > :19:49.sports centres and building new facilities. And now the money he is
:19:49. > :19:53.providing is going to fall off sharply. There's been 50 million
:19:53. > :19:57.over the last three years. There's only 7 million for the next three.
:19:57. > :20:01.But David Cameron said yesterday money wasn't so much the issue as
:20:01. > :20:06.the lack of competitive sport in schools. Which rings hollow for
:20:06. > :20:08.this head teacher in east London. The government has cut funding for
:20:08. > :20:13.school sports partnerships, which links secondaries with local
:20:13. > :20:19.primary schools. He's just had to lay off coaches. What is left now
:20:19. > :20:23.was not what should have been left and not what we were promised. A
:20:23. > :20:28.true sporting legacy based particularly on hugely increased
:20:28. > :20:32.participation of young people. Sport England has �250 million to
:20:32. > :20:35.invest every year in community sport. When the Games End, fresh
:20:35. > :20:43.government Legacy promises are likely but the expectations are now
:20:43. > :20:49.high. Someone who is all too familiar with those tales of lack
:20:49. > :20:53.of funding and facilities is the chairman of London athletics. The
:20:53. > :20:57.aim of your project here today is to bring athletics into some of the
:20:57. > :21:03.most deprived areas of London. What is the biggest barrier to kids in
:21:04. > :21:07.those areas? The biggest barrier is lack of infrastructure, lack of
:21:07. > :21:13.cultures and facilities. We are trying to engage with the kids in
:21:13. > :21:16.those boroughs. So far, we've managed to have 60,000 participants
:21:16. > :21:19.in 10 boroughs in just over a year. We are introducing them to
:21:20. > :21:22.athletics and hopefully will put them on the pathway which will
:21:23. > :21:26.eventually lead them to be a Olympic medallists. The government
:21:26. > :21:31.says it takes the issue of the Olympic legacy very seriously, that
:21:31. > :21:34.it wants to plough money into facilities, and that it's going to
:21:34. > :21:37.spend �1 billion in making sure that children don't give up sport
:21:38. > :21:40.when they leave school. Do you need more than that? I tend to think
:21:40. > :21:45.what they say in the heat of the moment doesn't always come through,
:21:45. > :21:50.so I am sceptical. There is money going into grassroots athletics but
:21:50. > :21:53.it is -- but its direction could do with a bit of work. A how do you
:21:53. > :21:59.make sure that the enthusiasm that is undoubtedly because of the
:21:59. > :22:03.Olympics at the moment is carried on into the future and doesn't
:22:03. > :22:07.disappear once this is over? You've got to have a strategy and
:22:07. > :22:10.infrastructure. You've got to encourage the clubs, the voluntary
:22:10. > :22:14.organisations which have formed the bedrock for producing Britain's
:22:14. > :22:18.athletes. You've got to link them into the other parts of the sport
:22:18. > :22:24.which are more funded in terms of Sport England funding and schools'
:22:24. > :22:27.funding. You've got to make the whole thing much more joined-up.
:22:27. > :22:32.They could well be a future Mo Farah or Jessica Ennis here. One
:22:32. > :22:39.coach told me he's already spotted 112-year-old boy who could be a
:22:40. > :22:42.future hope in the javelin. -- 1, 12-year-old boy. The Olympic sport
:22:42. > :22:46.of synchronised swimming is currently dominated by the Russians,
:22:46. > :22:50.but there are high hopes but Team GB swimmers this year, after they
:22:50. > :22:54.received more funding. They made it into the final of the duet event
:22:54. > :22:59.for the first time. Today, it was the turn of the teams. But all one
:22:59. > :23:04.family from Ascot, but nerves were almost too much as they watched
:23:04. > :23:09.their two daughters compete. An excited crowd gathered for the
:23:09. > :23:13.start of the synchronised swimming team event. None more patriotic and
:23:13. > :23:17.proud than Bobby Federici, whose wife is competing for Team GB. What
:23:17. > :23:22.does your wife make up your outfit? She probably thinks I'm a bit of a
:23:22. > :23:29.plonker, but I'm easy to spot in the crowd. A never proud family in
:23:29. > :23:34.the crowd are Jenna Randall's parents, from Ascot. The whole
:23:34. > :23:39.family has lived and breathed the sport for a long time. Write back
:23:39. > :23:42.from when they were seven, about 42 hours a week, a five-and-a-half
:23:42. > :23:47.days. Has there been a lot of driving to run from training for
:23:47. > :23:51.you? First priority, when they were 17 they learned to drive. This is
:23:51. > :23:54.the moment Great Britain make history - their first ever
:23:54. > :23:59.appearance in the Olympic team event. And that team is made up 25
:23:59. > :24:01.event. And that team is made up 25 % of Randalls. The team rose to the
:24:01. > :24:04.occasion with their technical routine, performed in front of a
:24:04. > :24:08.crowd that included the Duchess of Cambridge. The great strides the
:24:08. > :24:13.sport has made in the build-up to 2012 was rewarded with a score that
:24:13. > :24:18.will see them going into tomorrow's free routine in sixth place.
:24:18. > :24:23.Fantastic. They've been working on that performance for a long time
:24:23. > :24:28.now. It is fantastic that we were able to show everyone hour -- what
:24:28. > :24:36.we were made up. The home crowd is incredible. To hear that is great
:24:36. > :24:43.Our team have a long way to go to get into medal contention, but the
:24:44. > :24:53.Randals are hoping to lead the way for future Games. Let's get a
:24:54. > :24:54.
:24:54. > :24:59.Even the weather has taken on a golden glow. Today we've had lots
:24:59. > :25:05.of strong summer sunshine. Over the next few days we are going to get
:25:05. > :25:09.even more strong summer sunshine. This evening it is a little warmer
:25:09. > :25:12.than it was yesterday evening. Tonight it is going to be a bit
:25:12. > :25:18.warmer than it was last night in central London, the minimum
:25:18. > :25:22.temperature holding up at around 18 or 19 degrees. A bit cooler out in
:25:22. > :25:26.the countryside at 14 degrees. Rather like last night, they could
:25:26. > :25:31.be so Miss Dan Fogg around as dawn approaches. But tomorrow morning,
:25:31. > :25:35.any mistiness will go quite readily. If anything, the skies are going to
:25:35. > :25:39.be bluer than they were today. With more sunshine tomorrow, it is going
:25:39. > :25:46.to be a warmer day as well. Top temperature somewhere in the
:25:46. > :25:50.Greater London area getting up to 27 or 28 Celsius. I think the
:25:50. > :25:56.Olympic Park might be favoured for that. 28 degrees Celsius is 82
:25:56. > :26:00.degrees Fahrenheit. The sunny weather will stay with us right
:26:00. > :26:05.through the weekend. Still a lot of strong sunshine around on Saturday
:26:05. > :26:09.and Sunday. Not quite as warm. I can show you the reason for that on
:26:09. > :26:15.the outlook. It is the wind direction and speed. A freshening
:26:15. > :26:20.easterly breeze is going to bring us some fresher air off the North
:26:20. > :26:24.Sea. That should help a bit with the heat in the capital. There is
:26:24. > :26:29.still a chance that we could have a few thunderstorms rumbling up over
:26:29. > :26:34.the London area fairly late on Sunday. If that happens, well, you
:26:34. > :26:44.never know, we might have some atmospheric fireworks as well as
:26:44. > :26:47.
:26:47. > :26:50.man-made fireworks for the closing Great Britain has won three more
:26:50. > :26:56.medals at the London Games. Nicola Adams has become the first woman
:26:56. > :27:00.boxing champion in Olympic history, taking gold, defeating her Chinese
:27:00. > :27:03.opponent in the flyweight division. Meanwhile, in the individual
:27:03. > :27:08.dressage competition, Charlotte Dujardin, who is from Enfield, also
:27:08. > :27:11.won gold. Her team-mate secured bronze. There Boris Johnson has
:27:11. > :27:16.outlined how London will benefit from the billions invested for the
:27:16. > :27:21.Games. There are plans to build thousands more homes in the park in
:27:21. > :27:25.addition to the Athletes' Village, which will be converted into flats.
:27:25. > :27:29.The uncle of the missing schoolgirl Tia Sharp has said he hopes she is
:27:29. > :27:33.saved and has urged her to come home. 12-year-old Tia was last seen
