got medals, hangovers and memories. They have been the most amazing few

:00:25.:00:31.

weeks of my life. The best Olympics I have been too. Really great.

:00:31.:00:34.

:01:41.:01:51.

Good evening. Welcome to the BBC News at Six from the Olympic Park

:01:52.:02:01.

which - for the first time in two weeks - has fallen silent. After

:02:02.:02:04.

last night's closing ceremony and one of the biggest parties London

:02:04.:02:06.

has ever seen, hundreds of thousands of athletes, officials

:02:07.:02:09.

and spectators are heading home. A special departure terminal has been

:02:09.:02:14.

set up at Heathrow airport to cope with the extra load. Our Olympics

:02:14.:02:19.

correspondent Jon Kay has spent the day there.

:02:19.:02:26.

One and that was that. Sport Dalek, flame about, Olympic party over --

:02:26.:02:33.

sport done. Flame out. Heathrow, the morning after the games before.

:02:33.:02:39.

The world's fittest and fastest, now just flaked out. You have just

:02:39.:02:45.

had a couple of hours' sleep? I am very tired. Ready to get home?

:02:45.:02:53.

Yeah, and dream about it. There is even a temporary new terminal, just

:02:53.:03:00.

for athletes. And as quirky as the Games themselves. And how about

:03:00.:03:04.

this for a souvenir to show your family. Oh, it was the most

:03:04.:03:08.

incredible feeling ever. It has been the most amazing few weeks of

:03:08.:03:18.

my life. I'll keep it in my handbag, in a safe pouch, tucked away.

:03:18.:03:21.

athletes turned up for the Games, their rivals were staggered over

:03:21.:03:25.

the course of a month. Now they are all heading home at exactly the

:03:25.:03:34.

same time. At Stansted, high praise from Greek athletes, and their

:03:34.:03:37.

country first created the Games. is the best Olympics I have been

:03:37.:03:44.

too. Top marks for everything. Olympic get away it is already well

:03:44.:03:51.

under way. 10,500 athletes took part. Of them, 8,000 are flying

:03:51.:03:57.

home out of Heathrow. Plus, support staff and spectators. This morning,

:03:57.:04:02.

6,000 items of Olympic baggage had already been checked in, and that

:04:02.:04:07.

is before the sportsmen and women themselves had turned up. To keep

:04:07.:04:11.

things moving, hundreds of volunteers. They are exhausted, too,

:04:11.:04:16.

but full of pride. Absolutely fantastic. It has been a great

:04:16.:04:21.

experience, great to be a part of it. After two-and-a-half weeks of

:04:21.:04:26.

adulation, the Olympians are now back in the real world. No more

bedlinen from the athletes' village, and they are dreaming of the next

:04:42.:04:49.

chance, in four years time. Two weeks on, Team GB has finished

:04:49.:04:55.

third with 65 medals overall, 29 of them gold. The performance won

:04:55.:04:58.

praise from Lord Moynihan, who is stepping down as the head of the

:04:58.:05:02.

British Olympic Association. Despite earlier worries about

:05:02.:05:06.

transport and security, the organisation of the Games has been

:05:06.:05:16.
:05:16.:05:25.

hailed as a success around the After 17 days of fabulous diversion,

:05:25.:05:35.
:05:35.:05:36.

Britain was today coming to terms The build up to these Games was

:05:36.:05:40.

accompanied by years of anxiety, as to whether the country could cope

:05:40.:05:45.

with a project of this magnitude. But all those fears have melted

:05:46.:05:50.

away amid a joyous celebration, and London has delivered an Olympics

:05:50.:05:55.

which will rank among the finest ever seen. So what was the secret

:05:55.:06:01.

to their success? Organisers completed the Olympic Park on time

:06:01.:06:05.

and under budget, allowing them to concentrate on fine-tuning other

:06:05.:06:09.

complicated issues, such as how to get millions of people around

:06:09.:06:15.

London during the Games. The Prime Minister wasn't in power when the

:06:15.:06:19.

Games were won under Labour, but that did not dampen his enthusiasm,

:06:19.:06:24.

as he saw first hand, the Olympic feel-good factor. I think the world

:06:24.:06:28.

will take a message that Britain is a great country with a great future,

:06:28.:06:32.

we are open for business, we are a great place to live and work and we

:06:32.:06:36.

have a great future ahead of us. It has been a great advert for Britain.

:06:36.:06:40.

Yes, economic times are difficult and tough but the Olympics

:06:40.:06:43.

demonstrate that if you apply yourself enough, if you really want

:06:43.:06:47.

to get something done, you can do it. Not everything went to plan.

:06:47.:06:52.

The military came to the rescue twice, first plugging the gap left

:06:52.:06:56.

by private security guards, and then filling empty seats set aside

:06:56.:07:02.

for Olympic VIPs. Of course, it may have all felt very different if the

:07:02.:07:08.

team hadn't performed. But perform, they did. From established names

:07:08.:07:13.

like Jessica Ennis, to newcomers like Nicola Adams, a Team GB

:07:13.:07:16.

experienced a breathtaking gold rush, unprecedented in the modern

:07:17.:07:22.

era. The crowd are on their feet, they are trying to roar him home!

:07:22.:07:26.

They were cheered on by some of the most vocal and enthusiastic crowds

:07:26.:07:31.

ever seen. Just ask the new double Olympic champion, Mo Farah.

:07:31.:07:35.

gives you confidence, it gave me a massive boost. I want to thank

:07:35.:07:38.

everyone who has been out there. The amount of support that we had,

:07:38.:07:42.

it is incredible, I have never heard a noise like that in my life

:07:42.:07:47.

and I will never hear it again. Despite Rebecca Adlington's two

:07:47.:07:52.

bronze medals, swimming was one of the big disappointments. They

:07:52.:07:56.

missed their metal targets, and those in charge of Team GB said

:07:56.:08:00.

lessons had to be learned -- medal targets. You have to assess those

:08:01.:08:04.

sports. As long as they are doing everything right, you want to

:08:04.:08:08.

increase funding and do more to make sure they have a better

:08:08.:08:14.

opportunity in four years time. There will be some assessment but

:08:14.:08:22.

you get big highs and piccolos in sport. -- and big lows. Who could

:08:22.:08:28.

forget Chris Hoy's tears as he became Britain's greatest Olympian,

:08:28.:08:32.

or David Rudisha's stunning run to break his 800 metres world record.

:08:32.:08:37.

But the Games Beyonce -- belonged to Usain Bolt, whose golden treble

:08:37.:08:43.

confirmed him as the greatest sprinter. There was a reminder of

:08:43.:08:48.

the darker side, as the new Olympic champion, Nadzeya Ostapchuck, was

:08:48.:08:54.

stripped of her gold medal for taking drugs. The circus is rolling

:08:54.:08:57.

out of town and an Olympic hangover awaits. At least the country can

:08:57.:09:03.

take pride at the way it put fun and a sense of soul back into the

:09:03.:09:09.

Games. More on the Olympics later, but now

:09:09.:09:14.

for the rest of today's news. The man accused of murdering Tia Sharp

:09:14.:09:18.

has appeared before magistrates in London by video link. Stuart Hazell,

:09:18.:09:24.

who is 37, was remanded in custody. The missing 12-year-old's body was

:09:24.:09:30.

found at her grandmother's house in New Addington on Friday.

:09:30.:09:35.

It is now a 10 days since Tia Sharp disappeared. The body found in a

:09:35.:09:41.

small terraced house here, has not yet still been formally identified.

:09:41.:09:44.

A post-mortem continues this week and it is considering the

:09:44.:09:49.

possibility that she was smothered. Stuart Hazel faced his first day in

:09:49.:09:54.

court today, but not in person. Stuart Hazell, minutes before he

:09:54.:09:59.

was recognised by onlookers and arrested by police. They had found

:09:59.:10:03.

the body of Tia Sharp in the loft of the house he shared with her

:10:03.:10:08.

grandmother. We now know it was in a black bag, wrapped in a black

:10:08.:10:12.

bedsheet. Stuart Hazel appeared during today's court hearing from a

:10:12.:10:17.

police station via a video link. Unusual, at this stage of a case

:10:17.:10:22.

and perhaps suggesting police concerns about public anger. He

:10:22.:10:26.

confirmed he understood the charge, he was told his case will be passed

:10:26.:10:32.

to the Old Bailey. In the last week, the house has been repeatedly

:10:32.:10:37.

surged, including by a police body recovery dock. Scotland Yard has

:10:37.:10:44.

now admitted that human error resulted in a failure to find Tia,

:10:44.:10:48.

even though the occasion she was finally discovered had been checked.

:10:48.:10:52.

-- the location. While that was going on, Stuart Hazell protested

:10:52.:10:57.

that he had not murdered her. didn't, I loved it to bits, she was

:10:57.:11:03.

like my own daughter. Tia's mother visited this impromptu memorial

:11:03.:11:08.

yesterday and today, more washers have arrived, bearing flowers and

:11:08.:11:12.

children's toys. The tributes fill the pavement she once used to visit

:11:12.:11:19.

her grandmother's house. Christine Sharp, at Tia's

:11:19.:11:22.

grandmother has been released on bail. She had also been arrested

:11:22.:11:26.

along with a neighbour arrested in connection with an allegation he

:11:26.:11:30.

helped a suspect. Stuart Hazell will appear in court again at the

:11:30.:11:33.

Old Bailey on Wednesday, with a more substantial hearing being

:11:33.:11:38.

planned for November. An official report has concluded

:11:38.:11:42.

that Norwegian police could have prevented or interrupted the bomb

:11:42.:11:46.

and gun attack by a far-right fanatics who killed 77 people last

than 240 others, when he bumped And -- he bombed central Oslo and

Mohammed Mursi, has called on Egyptians took rally behind him

:12:12.:12:16.

after he removed two senior figures. He has been locked in a power

struggle with the generals who took control in the wake of a popular

:12:19.:12:24.

uprising. James Roberts reports on the

decisive moment in Egypt's transition.

military wanted to hold onto. President Mohammed Mursi and Field

:12:46.:12:49.

Marshal Tantawi were locked in a power struggle. The President has

struck, lauding his chief soldier a medal and an advisory role, but

:12:54.:12:59.

forcing him from the top spot. Mohammed Mursi, it was very careful

to keep the rest of the military onside, and the people behind him.

TRANSLATION: To the honourable Egyptian people, the decisions I

took today were not meant to target certain persons, nor did I intend

:13:51.:13:56.

First by sacking this man, the head of the armed forces, who hoped to

:13:56.:13:59.

protect military power and privilege, and at the same time,

:13:59.:14:03.

the President has cancelled the service chiefs's decree which tried

:14:03.:14:07.

to prevent the new President controlling the military and

:14:07.:14:12.

leadership. The decree also dissolved Egypt's parliament.

:14:12.:14:20.

are seeing an historic shift in deep relations in Egypt, more

:14:20.:14:24.

tilting in the balance of power towards the civilian side.

:14:24.:14:27.

President Mursi chose his moment, days after the funerals of 16

:14:27.:14:33.

border guards killed by Islamist extremists in the Sinai desert.

:14:33.:14:37.

Egypt's armed forces had failed to prevent. The leadership was

A man accused of murdering six people, including his wife and two

:14:43.:14:46.

young children in Jersey, has appeared in court. The court heard

:14:46.:14:48.

Damian Rrzeszowski carried out the brutal knife attack because he

:14:48.:14:52.

could not face the prospect of his marriage breaking up. This report

:14:52.:15:01.

He arrived to face trial at 12 months after the debts which shook

:15:02.:15:05.

his peaceful island. Damian Rrzeszowski, the man who killed his

:15:05.:15:10.

family, after a summer barbecue at his home. The court heard that he

:15:10.:15:14.

had been experiencing difficulties with his marriage and had just

:15:14.:15:20.

returned from Poland with his wife and their two children. At around

:15:20.:15:25.

by 2:45pm, he launched a series of attacks inside their ground-floor

:15:25.:15:31.

flat on the outskirts of St Hellier. His father-in-law is thought to

:15:31.:15:37.

have been the first victim. Stabbed as he watched TV in his bedroom.

:15:37.:15:40.

But his two-and-a-half-year-old son died as he painted pictures at the

:15:40.:15:45.

dining room table and had 13 stab wounds. His five-year-old sister on

:15:46.:15:52.

the right of this picture, was attacked alongside him. Her friend,

:15:52.:15:57.

also five, died in the hallway at the ground floor flat. Julia's

:15:57.:16:01.

mother, badly injured, escaped through the front door but died in

:16:02.:16:08.

the street. Damian Rrzeszowski pursued his wife through the flat

:16:08.:16:13.

and at one point, she tended to call the police on a mobile phone.

:16:13.:16:18.

-- attempted. Damian Rrzeszowski have followed him into a rear

:16:18.:16:21.

quarter, through a window, down the hallway and out onto the pavement.

:16:21.:16:25.

A short distance away, horrified neighbours tried to intervene but

:16:25.:16:30.

he stabbed her again. Damian Rrzeszowski was found with self-

:16:30.:16:32.

inflicted stab wounds and claims he can remember little about what

:16:32.:16:35.

happened. But the prosecution reject his admission of

:16:35.:16:39.

manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and say

:16:39.:16:42.

the murder has resulted from anger and violence, bottled up during the

:16:42.:16:50.

breakdown of his marriage. Our top story tonight.

Good, good evening. It Yorkshire was a country, they say it would

have come up to weld in the medals table. Here's a handful of the

:17:55.:18:00.

winners from Yorkshire here tonight. If the Brownlie family were a

:18:00.:18:06.

country they would be 49th in the medals table which is not too bad.

:18:06.:18:10.

Understand Johnny are with me this evening for the board is like

:18:10.:18:13.

seeing your home crowd outside, thousands of people? It's

:18:13.:18:19.

incredible. Last week, after we raced, they were tens of thousands

:18:19.:18:22.

of people there, but to see people turning up in Leeds, a much smaller

:18:23.:18:28.

place, our home town, it's more special. You train outdoors in the

:18:28.:18:31.

neighbourhoods where these people live and you're out there in the

:18:31.:18:35.

countryside. That's what great about triathlon and cycling, we

:18:35.:18:41.

just train out there. We don't have a special gyms but to train out on

friendly environment and people recognise us. What's the best thing

:19:01.:19:05.

about being the Olympic champion? I'm not sure, too many things in

:19:05.:19:10.

the past week. I'm on the crest of a wave. I'm about to fall but any

:19:10.:19:14.

day now. We also have a silver medallist won a tonight, Lizzie

:19:14.:19:18.

Armistead, the first winner for Team GB. What was it like to win

:19:18.:19:25.

early on and then just sit back and relax? It was unexpected, to be the

:19:25.:19:29.

first winner, because we had Mike Cavendish the week before and we

:19:29.:19:34.

had high expectations so to get the first one was unexpected. Fantastic.

:19:34.:19:38.

I enjoyed the rest of the Olympics and got to see as many sports as I

:19:38.:19:41.

couldn't have a great time. Well done, pleasure to meet you. The

:19:41.:19:44.

nation is proud of you and the people of Yorkshire are proud of

:19:44.:19:48.

you, as well. Thousands of people are here to see them and it's going

:19:48.:19:52.

to be a great evening in West Yorkshire tonight. Thank you. Well,

:19:52.:19:55.

no sooner had the closing ceremony finished, and the organisers of

London 2012 began the job of preparing for the Paralympics which

:19:58.:20:01.

start in just over two weeks' time. But what happens to the venues

:20:01.:20:11.

afterwards? Clive Myrie has been Put some of Team GB today, a gentle

:20:16.:20:19.

ceremony parties. For others in the athletes village, the end of the

:20:19.:20:26.

games of chance to smoke, guilty pleasure denied four weeks. 20,000

:20:26.:20:30.

journalists tell the story of these games and have today, some were

:20:30.:20:34.

packing up. They fed the appetite of billions around the globe. Now

:20:34.:20:40.

their cameras and equipment sit idle. This place was the centre of

:20:40.:20:45.

the world for 16 incredible days and now thoughts turn to the future.

:20:45.:20:48.

The Olympic Stadium stays but it's not clear how it will be used.

:20:48.:20:54.

Football is one option. It will, however, host the World Athletics

:20:54.:20:57.

Championships in 2017. The Aquatics Centre remains and will be

:20:57.:21:04.

available to the public. The Water Polo swimming-pool will be gone.

:21:04.:21:09.

The Ben madrone and copper box will stay but the basketball arena will

:21:09.:21:14.

disappear -- Velodrome. And the Riverbank Arena which hosted the

:21:14.:21:19.

hockey, but will be dismantled. Taken apart, eventually to build

:21:19.:21:24.

more housing. But not just yet. This was the warm up page for the

:21:24.:21:28.

Olympic hockey which will turn into a five-a-side Paralympic football

:21:28.:21:32.

venue. We will put in a stand and a football field in this blue area,

:21:33.:21:36.

so what you can see now, we will transform it into a football

:21:36.:21:40.

stadium and we have one week to do it. That is just one venue which

:21:40.:21:45.

must be adapted. It's one of the things you have to bear in mind for

:21:45.:21:49.

the Paralympics, the individual athletes and their impairments and

:21:49.:21:54.

what accessibility they need. We have made short this is an
