:02:21. > :02:24.Alistair Brownlee has just won gold in the triathlon, bringing the
:02:24. > :02:27.total number of golds to 19. Thousands of people lined the
:02:27. > :02:32.streets to watch him and his brother, Jonny Brownlee, who
:02:32. > :02:42.claimed a bronze medal. Later this afternoon there could be even more

:02:43. > :02:50.golden success in cycling and dressage. Two brothers, one goal.
:02:50. > :02:54.Could this spur them to Olympic glory? 55 of the world's finest
:02:54. > :02:59.athletes prepared to do battle. Above grey skies threatened rain.
:02:59. > :03:05.Around them grassy banks were imvisible among the crowds, whose
:03:05. > :03:09.voices echoed around Westminster. Across the 28-acre lake, a shoal of
:03:09. > :03:13.come petors already spreading into groups as they headed for the
:03:13. > :03:17.jostle of the first tight turn. It's a much-repeated statistic that
:03:17. > :03:21.the favourite has never won this race. Dating back to the first time
:03:21. > :03:25.the sport featured in the Sydney Games. The Brownlees believed their
:03:25. > :03:32.commitment would break that trend. They completed the swim and they
:03:32. > :03:40.were still in contention and the crowds loved it. Out of Hyde Park
:03:40. > :03:43.and the applause rows like a -- rose like a wave. The tight curve
:03:43. > :03:50.here and the supporters from every corner of the UK willing the
:03:50. > :03:52.brothers to victory. It's brilliant. I really hope they come first and
:03:52. > :03:56.second. I know they're world champions with this crowd they can
:03:56. > :04:02.do anything, so we hope for the best. Brilliant. Gold and silver
:04:02. > :04:06.all day long. There's an extra vein of excitement running through the
:04:06. > :04:11.crowds. Over the past week, the people of Yorkshire has watched
:04:11. > :04:16.their county's medal tally rise day by day. Success for the lads from
:04:16. > :04:21.Leeds will be the icing on the cake. By the closing stages, a blow for
:04:21. > :04:26.Jonny, news he had been penalised for failing to mount his bike
:04:26. > :04:33.properly after the swim. A 15- second penalty, but he didn't
:04:33. > :04:37.faulter. The brothers can the 10k run and Jonny was still at his
:04:37. > :04:42.brother's shoulder. Alistair forced a pace to test all the leaders.
:04:42. > :04:45.Gomez of Spain pushing hard beside them. Deep into the third lad,
:04:45. > :04:49.Jonny was struggling, wondering whether his penalty could take him
:04:49. > :04:52.out of medal contention and watching his brother move ahead of
:04:52. > :04:56.the Spaniard. Tens of thousands were now watching the drama play
:04:56. > :05:00.out. Ten metres now between the two leaders. Jonny Brownlee watching
:05:00. > :05:05.the seconds tick away in the penalty box, but still in the
:05:05. > :05:08.bronze position. His older brother, out of sight, was holding his lead.
:05:08. > :05:14.Gomez heading for a comfortable silver, Alistair approaching the
:05:14. > :05:21.end as strongly as ever. The supporters were confident of a GB
:05:21. > :05:27.victory and then it was over. Another triumph and gold to be
:05:27. > :05:34.taken back to the White Rose County. Our sports correspondent, Andy
:05:34. > :05:37.Swiss, is at the finishing line in Hyde Park. Fantastic achievement
:05:38. > :05:42.for the brothers and Team GB? That's right. What a day for the
:05:42. > :05:45.thousands of fans here in Hyde Park and what a day for the Brownlee
:05:46. > :05:49.family. Gold and bronze. A particular special day for Alistair
:05:49. > :05:56.Brownlee, who secured the gold medal, the world champion, now the
:05:56. > :06:00.Olympic champion. It was really the perfect tactical race from him. He
:06:00. > :06:03.was tucked away during the swimming and cycling and then in the run he
:06:03. > :06:08.strode away from the rest of the field. He had time to pretty much
:06:08. > :06:11.stop by the side, take a Union Flag off one of the people and walk over
:06:12. > :06:15.the line with it. It was some performance by him. As far as his
:06:15. > :06:18.brother goes, perhaps he'll be a little disappointed, that 15-second
:06:18. > :06:23.penalty he picked up for getting on his bike too early might have cost
:06:23. > :06:26.him a medal, but gold and bronze in one family, what an extraordinary
:06:26. > :06:28.day for them. Thank you very much. It's the final day at the velodrome
:06:29. > :06:32.and there's a big afternoon ahead for Britain's cyclists. Victoria
:06:32. > :06:36.Pendleton is tipped for another gold in the women's sprint. If she
:06:36. > :06:40.winsit'll make her Britain's most successful female Olympian. Sir
:06:40. > :06:42.Chris Hoy is also going for gold. If he succeeds in the men's keirin,
:06:42. > :06:45.he would overtake Sir Steve Redgrave to become Britain's most
:06:45. > :06:55.successful male Olympian. And Laura Trott will also try to win her
:06:55. > :06:56.
:06:56. > :06:59.second gold on the track. James Pearce is at the velodrome now. An
:06:59. > :07:05.afternoon of drama? Of course. Saturday will go down in history,
:07:05. > :07:10.but today it could be the same. Already, having equalled that tally
:07:10. > :07:14.from Beijing, there's every chance that Team GB can push ahead to get
:07:14. > :07:18.the record tally for more than a century and breaking other records
:07:18. > :07:23.too. Victoria Pendleton is going in the semi-finals of the individual
:07:23. > :07:27.sprint. She is on course to beat her big rival in the final. If she
:07:27. > :07:31.can win, she'll have three golds and be the most decorated British
:07:31. > :07:36.female Olympian of all time. If that's not enough, Sir Chris Hoy
:07:36. > :07:41.has a chance to become the most decorated British male Olympian of
:07:41. > :07:45.all time. He's going in the semi- finals. He won the heat very easily
:07:45. > :07:51.this morning. He's already the current world champion. It's an
:07:51. > :07:55.event that can be a little unpredictable, but he'll go in as
:07:55. > :07:59.favourite and create his own history, overtaking Sir Steve
:07:59. > :08:03.Redgrave's tally of five golds. Laura trot, much younger than
:08:03. > :08:06.Pendleton and hoi, who will be retiring after these Games. She
:08:06. > :08:10.will be around for many years and she could be around as another
:08:10. > :08:18.winner with another gold around her neck. She has already won the team
:08:18. > :08:21.purr site. She's in second place in her trial, so there could be three
:08:22. > :08:25.more British golds here tonight, if everything goes accord to plan.
:08:25. > :08:28.Thank you very much. There was disappointment for Team GB in the
:08:28. > :08:31.athletics as one of the big medal hopes, the triple jumper Phillips
:08:31. > :08:34.Idowu, failed to qualify for the final. There had already been
:08:34. > :08:38.speculation over whether Idowu was fit enough to take part in the
:08:38. > :08:41.games. But there was no such trouble for Jamaica's Usain Bolt.
:08:41. > :08:51.He won his heat in the 200m comfortably. Our correspondent, Dan
:08:51. > :08:52.
:08:52. > :08:56.Roan, reports. In the build-up he can come to be known as The
:08:56. > :09:00.Invisible Man, but no sooner had Philips Idowu finally appeared, he
:09:00. > :09:04.was gone again. Speculation over his fitness and whereabouts had
:09:04. > :09:10.applied a certain intrigue to the competition, but today there was no
:09:10. > :09:15.mystery. Philips Idowu simply wasn't himself. The Beijing silver
:09:15. > :09:20.medalist had been regarded as a contender, but fell well short of
:09:20. > :09:24.the automatic qualifying mark of 17.10 and nine weeks after his last
:09:24. > :09:31.competitive jump he was out. That wasn't me out there today. I've
:09:31. > :09:35.competed for 12 years and I can't remember a time when I've performed
:09:35. > :09:41.that badly. So, his Games were open almost before they had begun, but
:09:41. > :09:45.still plenty more for the crowd to enjoy. Two days after his lit up
:09:45. > :09:54.the Games and wowed the world, Usain Bolt is back and how he
:09:54. > :09:58.begins his bid for a second gold. This time, in the 200 metres. The
:09:58. > :10:04.Olympic champion restricted himself to a gentle jog. The fastest man on
:10:04. > :10:11.the planet cruising into tomorrow's semi-finals. His rival Blake and
:10:11. > :10:17.Britain's Christian Malcolm also through. But the Games can be cruel
:10:17. > :10:27.at time. Lui, the iconic Chinese poster boys carried the hopes of a
:10:27. > :10:32.nation, but his first hurdle was also his last. His Achilles injury
:10:32. > :10:37.ruled him out. He was forced to withdraw four years ago and he had
:10:37. > :10:40.the sympathy of both competitors and spectators alike. There are
:10:40. > :10:43.high hopes of success for Great Britain in the dressage which is
:10:43. > :10:52.currently under way. Team GB rides this afternoon and they are also
:10:52. > :10:58.going for Gold. Joe Wilson is at Greenwich. A feeling they can
:10:59. > :11:01.perhaps do it? I think so. You might say it's a once-in-a-century
:11:01. > :11:06.opportunity. This is the first time really there's been a real list
:11:06. > :11:11.tiing hope for Britain to win any kind of medal and they -- realistic
:11:11. > :11:14.hope for Britain to win any kind of medal. They demand total silence
:11:14. > :11:18.from the crowd whilst the tests are going on. That's why we have come
:11:18. > :11:25.outside. The last thing we want to do is disturb any of the horses.
:11:25. > :11:32.It's a happy coincidence. This is a team event that Britain if 2012
:11:32. > :11:37.have three excellent -- in 2015 have three excellent riders and
:11:37. > :11:42.horses. We have seen one excellent test in qualifying from one of our
:11:42. > :11:47.riders. It's marked by the judges. A total score of 80% is excellent.
:11:47. > :11:51.83.6% is what we managed in qualifying. It's very technical.
:11:51. > :11:55.Very disciplined. You are supposed to demonstrate total harmony
:11:55. > :12:01.between horse and rider. Maybe it's not the most thrilling spectacle
:12:01. > :12:04.for all people, but we shouldn't jund estimate the high level of
:12:04. > :12:12.skill -- underestimate the high level of skill. Germany have won
:12:12. > :12:16.the last seven golds. Final thought, I'm intrigued why individuals do
:12:16. > :12:20.certain sports, well Karl Hester grew up on the island of Sark and
:12:20. > :12:28.he had to ride from an early age simply because on that island there
:12:28. > :12:35.are no cars. Thank you very much. There was more success in the last
:12:35. > :12:39.few minutes. Nick Dempsey took silver in the wind surfing. He only
:12:39. > :12:46.needed to come in the top six and he came third to secure his silver
:12:46. > :12:56.medal. Well, let's see how this morning's action has influenced the

:13:03. > :13:08.The shares in Britain's third- largest bank, Standard Chartered,
:13:08. > :13:12.fell by 21 points after the US regulators accused of hiding
:13:12. > :13:15.billions of pounds in transactions with Iranian banks. Standard
:13:15. > :13:19.Chartered has denied the allegations made by their New York
:13:19. > :13:24.financial services department and says it has complied overwhelmingly
:13:24. > :13:30.with sanctions in Iran. Just explain exactly what the banks are
:13:30. > :13:33.being accused of. Since the Iranian revolution the US has had strict
:13:33. > :13:38.economic sanctions with Iran but is it alleged Standard Chartered
:13:38. > :13:43.helped to launder up to $250 billion through the New York branch
:13:43. > :13:46.for Iranian institutions covered by the sanctions. It is perfectly
:13:46. > :13:50.legal for individuals and companies to undertake business in Europe,
:13:50. > :13:53.but when it is in dollars, the transactions have to be procured
:13:53. > :14:01.through the United States and it can raise the suspicions of the
:14:01. > :14:05.authorities. It is alleged to Standard Chartered hid details and
:14:05. > :14:08.cloaked their dollar dealing activities of Iranian clients from
:14:08. > :14:12.the regulators. It has to be said that Standard Chartered have been
:14:12. > :14:17.robust about this this morning and say they strongly reject the
:14:17. > :14:22.position as set out by the US financial regulator and say the US
:14:22. > :14:25.authorities have misinterpreted the law and that 99.9% of their Iranian
:14:25. > :14:28.transactions complied with regulations. You have to say this
:14:28. > :14:32.is still a very serious allegations against one of the most important
:14:32. > :14:36.financial institutions in the world. They have denied the allegations
:14:37. > :14:42.but a big impact on their shares. Yes, a big knock when they opened
:14:42. > :14:46.in London. They fell by 24%. The company also faces the prospect of
:14:46. > :14:50.a large fine should the allegations be proven, and perhaps more serious
:14:50. > :14:54.is that it could have its licence to operate in New York revoked.
:14:54. > :15:00.Something like 30 or 40% of its entire operations around the world

:16:18. > :16:23.put profit before standards. Alison Behind the locked doors of
:16:23. > :16:27.Winterborne Vu, Hospital for people with learning disabilities. A
:16:27. > :16:31.hidden Panorama camera revealed what today's serious case review
:16:31. > :16:38.called the arbitrary violence against the vulnerable patients. It
:16:38. > :16:42.describes a place where restraint was commonplace. Stephen was a
:16:42. > :16:46.shock when he discovered a number of times his son was restrained and
:16:47. > :16:51.he has asked us not to show his photograph. 45 times in the space
:16:51. > :16:55.of five months. It is not right, considering he has been at the new
:16:55. > :17:00.place for nearly two years, and in two years they have had to restrain
:17:00. > :17:05.him twice. The report says Castle back, the company that ran
:17:05. > :17:10.Winterborne, took financial reward without accountability. Staff were
:17:10. > :17:15.under-trained and not properly supervised. If we cannot put people
:17:15. > :17:19.together in hospitals and leave them without any credible
:17:19. > :17:24.monitoring in the naive belief that the hospital can deliver both
:17:24. > :17:27.assessment and treatment. And there were warnings. The report details
:17:27. > :17:30.nearly 40 safeguarding alerts to the local council. The police and
:17:30. > :17:36.the regulator, the care quality commission, were told of problems
:17:36. > :17:41.but little was done. I would like to take the opportunity today to
:17:41. > :17:46.purvey our deep regret and the events that took place in
:17:46. > :17:52.Winterborne private hospital. I would like to express our profound
:17:52. > :17:56.regret to family, friends and carers and the patients. In a
:17:56. > :18:00.statement, Castle Beck said there would be changes to make sure there
:18:00. > :18:04.was not a repeat of Winterborne. Terry Brian was the nurse who blew
:18:04. > :18:07.the whistle on what was happening at the hospital and now acts as an
:18:07. > :18:12.independent inspector but says this sort of abuse remains difficult to
:18:12. > :18:16.detect. People can hurt people if they want to. And if they want to,
:18:16. > :18:20.they will, because they do it behind closed doors when no one is
:18:20. > :18:24.looking. No inspection will pick that up. No police investigation
:18:24. > :18:30.will pick that up. The only people who pick that up will be the people
:18:30. > :18:33.in that room. Or on the shift who know it was in the room.
:18:33. > :18:37.Winterborne was closed more than a year ago, but for many it leaves
:18:37. > :18:42.the question of how such a place which was large, locked and cut off

:19:00. > :19:05.How do you ensure there is never a repeat of the abuse we saw at
:19:05. > :19:11.Winterborne? I think what this report clearly demonstrates is that
:19:11. > :19:15.this was a failure at every level. Serious, shocking, appalling abuse
:19:15. > :19:19.which has led to criminal proceedings, but also a failure at
:19:19. > :19:25.ward level, insufficient management and the failure of other services
:19:25. > :19:28.to pick up the early warning signs of what was going on. And also a
:19:28. > :19:33.complete failure up on the part of the commissioners, those people who
:19:33. > :19:38.were paying for the care in his home. Clearly they did not have any
:19:38. > :19:42.kind of monitoring in place, as your piece rightly pointed out. It
:19:42. > :19:47.is quite tricky, even with unannounced inspections, to be sure
:19:47. > :19:52.about what is going on. So you need action at every level. This is a
:19:52. > :19:57.real shock and a real wake-up call. One exactly will you do? What
:19:57. > :20:02.action can be taken to make sure it will not be repeated? The number of
:20:02. > :20:07.actions. On a one to-one basis, we are bringing in new training
:20:07. > :20:11.standards. It is about leadership at ward level and we need to work
:20:11. > :20:15.with the commission's to make sure. They are very clear about their
:20:15. > :20:19.duties are response -- and responsibilities. When they are
:20:19. > :20:22.paying for high quality care they should be doing that. There are
:20:22. > :20:25.other questions about why other agencies did not pick up the early
:20:25. > :20:29.warning signs and there are other issues around restraint. The
:20:29. > :20:34.gentleman interviewed talked about how little restraint had been used
:20:34. > :20:37.since his relative had moved on, and we need to look at that. It is
:20:38. > :20:41.action at every single level. This is really shocking and very

:21:37. > :21:43.candidates who sat Scottish exams have been finding out how they
:21:43. > :21:49.fared. I did a little bit better than they expected. I wasn't

:21:55. > :21:57.quite happy. Last year those who receive their results by a text
:21:57. > :22:04.found that grades a day early. This time around there were no such

:23:40. > :23:44.holidays to find an empty fridge. Well Britain's biggest retailer,
:23:44. > :23:47.Tesco, thinks it has the solution. It will trial what it says is the
:23:47. > :23:57.country's first virtual interactive shop at Gatwick Airport. But is it
:23:57. > :24:01.the future of shopping? Here's our It is never a nice feeling when the
:24:01. > :24:06.holiday comes to an end, and you start thinking about having no food
:24:06. > :24:12.at home. So what is the answer? Before you have even left the
:24:12. > :24:16.departure lounge, Tesco would like you to use this virtual supermarket
:24:16. > :24:20.scream. You use your smart phone to scan the code and you can Popper
:24:20. > :24:24.all of these items in your basket and supposedly get them delivered
:24:24. > :24:29.to your home in time for when you get back. But is this just a
:24:29. > :24:39.gimmick, or will it really take off? I met up with the shepherd
:24:39. > :24:43.family, off to Majorca. Personally, myself, I actually like to go
:24:43. > :24:49.shopping and pick out what we have cell I know that the fruit is not
:24:49. > :24:53.bruised, but it is a good idea. Technology is changing the way we
:24:54. > :24:57.shop, and it is being driven by smartphones, which allow you to
:24:57. > :25:02.access the internet. Other retailers will be watching Tesco's
:25:02. > :25:06.experiment. A I think it is significant because it starts to
:25:06. > :25:09.show the way retailers changing and the fact that a lot more of us
:25:09. > :25:13.these days are shopping on our mobile phones. We are shopping on
:25:13. > :25:17.the move, effectively. I think this latest initiative is a recognition
:25:17. > :25:22.that there has been great growth in that area and there will continue
:25:22. > :25:26.to be growth of the next few years. And now to this, which the

:25:52. > :25:58.creator of Jodrell Bank, the pioneer of radio astronomy in

:26:01. > :26:04.he was the director of Jodrell Bank in Cheshire, the site of the radio
:26:04. > :26:06.telescope which became famous around the world and set the
:26:06. > :26:13.pattern for the many observatories that followed. Nick Higham reports.
:26:13. > :26:16.Even today, the radio telescope at Jodrell Bank is impressive. The
:26:16. > :26:20.vast white parabola gathering signals from the corners of the
:26:20. > :26:25.universe. When it was built in the 1950s it was an object of wonder,
:26:25. > :26:28.something out of science fiction. Bernard Lovell, seen on the right,
:26:28. > :26:37.came up with the idea while developing radar during World War
:26:37. > :26:42.II. It made him a scientific celebrity. The signals making holes
:26:42. > :26:46.in this tape have been processed by computer and they are an account of
:26:46. > :26:51.signals which have been carried through space for around 8 billion
:26:52. > :26:56.years. In other words we believe this quasar is a distance of at
:26:56. > :27:00.least a million light years. Bernard Lovell made this programme
:27:00. > :27:03.about his career and his beliefs in the 1980s. He disliked the way
:27:03. > :27:08.governments tried to appropriate scientific research, although it
:27:08. > :27:13.did not stop him letting the military use Jodrell Bank as a
:27:13. > :27:16.tracking station for a time. He had a strict religious upbringing and
:27:16. > :27:20.remained a believer all his life, despite his scientific
:27:20. > :27:26.investigations. Late in life, he reflected on the telescope's
:27:26. > :27:33.success. This telescope at Jodrell Bank is working marvellously at the
:27:33. > :27:39.moment. Obviously it has a limited life. I think it's life will not be
:27:39. > :27:46.limited by the structure, but by its ability to cope with that the
:27:46. > :27:50.new demands in astronomy. I thought 20 years ago, for example, that we
:27:50. > :27:55.knew all we wanted to know about the structure and evolution of the
:27:55. > :28:04.universe, and now we know almost nothing. Sir Bernard Lovell, who

:28:37. > :28:41.Thank goodness they found the radio. A cloudy morning so far, but the
:28:41. > :28:46.rain has held up just about. Be on the skyline of London we have some
:28:46. > :28:49.thick layers of cloud and that is bearing rein. We will see it
:28:49. > :28:52.turning up across southern Wales, south-west England were has been
:28:52. > :28:57.patchy and it will continue to extend through the east this
:28:57. > :29:02.afternoon. For the sailors at Portland and Weymouth, good
:29:02. > :29:05.visibility but as the cloud and rain arrives the visibility will
:29:05. > :29:09.deteriorate for the races this afternoon. Through the rest of the
:29:09. > :29:12.afternoon across the country we will see patchy rain sliding across
:29:12. > :29:17.the southern parts of England said we will see patches of rain
:29:17. > :29:21.arriving in the south-east before too long. The Southway -- the South
:29:21. > :29:25.West prone to rain. North of Wales should stay dry and bright. For
:29:25. > :29:28.Northern Ireland, dry and bright, but the showers will fade later
:29:29. > :29:32.this afternoon and we will see increasing amounts of sunshine. Not
:29:32. > :29:37.a bad day for western Scotland. Generally dry and bright, and
:29:37. > :29:40.eastern areas prone to one or two sharp showers and some pretty heavy
:29:40. > :29:43.ones forecast for more than England, especially around the Pennines
:29:43. > :29:46.where there are thunderstorms and through the afternoon the
:29:46. > :29:50.thunderstorms will push towards the east, reaching the coastal areas of
:29:50. > :29:54.Yorkshire. One or two showers or East Anglia and the patchy rain

:30:05. > :30:10.on, one or two spots of rain probably arriving and also over the
:30:10. > :30:15.evening. We will keep a weather front in the south, so quite cloudy
:30:15. > :30:18.and great, but on the mild side. Further north, clear spells across
:30:18. > :30:21.the north-east of Scotland and eastern England as well. Tomorrow
:30:21. > :30:24.morning we start cloudy in the south with spots of rain but things
:30:24. > :30:28.will improve quickly and there could be a bit more in the way of
:30:28. > :30:31.brightness across the south. Because of that, temperatures have
:30:31. > :30:35.bit higher, creeping into the low twenties, so maybe a bit more
:30:35. > :30:38.pleasant. For many of us, a dry afternoon. That sets the scene for
:30:38. > :30:41.Thursday with high pressure building across the British Isles
:30:41. > :30:44.and most places will have a dry and bright conditions with hazy
:30:45. > :30:48.sunshine. No heat wave across the north-east of Scotland where
:30:48. > :30:51.temperatures will be stuck in the high teens but elsewhere across
:30:51. > :30:56.England and Wales we will see the temperatures building and we could
:30:56. > :31:02.be looking at highs of around 25 Celsius, 77 degrees Fahrenheit and
