economy, the Chancellor warned that it is too early about the effects of | :00:13. | :00:32. | |
the Brexit vote. It's far too early to say how | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
the economy is responding yet - inevitably people's reaction | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
to a surprise is caution. We'll be asking what this stronger | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
than expected performance means Fresh pictures emerge | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
of the siege at the French church where a Catholic | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
priest was murdered. The soaring cost to the NHS | :00:48. | :00:48. | |

the UK speeded up ahead Official figures showed an increase | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
of 0.6% in the three months to the end of June - | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
a stronger performance The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, said | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
the figures showed the UK now had a "position of strength" | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
from which to negotiate But he also warned that it was | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
"far too early" to say how the economy was responding | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
to the Referendum result. He was speaking to our Economics | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
editor Kamal Ahmed, who now Better figures than expected | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
today and an announcement by London City Airport | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
that it was expanding. For the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
not exactly blue skies ahead, The UK economy is fundamentally | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
strong as we go into the challenge That gives us the tools | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
and the scope to respond Do you really think, | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
as some have suggested, that we could be heading | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
for a recession? Well, I think it's far | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
too early to say how Inevitably, people's reaction | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
to a surprise is caution. No such caution today | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
from pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, which announced | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
a ?270 million investment But the maker of Night Nurse | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
and Panadol did lace it's good My guess is we are probably | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
going to see some choppy signals I don't think we are going to see | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
a dramatic shift to the left or the right, but we will see some | :03:13. | :03:23. | |
choppiness, we are going to see some things which are indicative | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
of a bit of a slowdown. And it's likely we are going to see | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
some signals of early inflation. With business investment | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
still continuing like here at London City Airport, | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
some might wonder what all the fuss was about the economy | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
in the referendum. I think there are two big | :03:38. | :03:38. | |
things worth considering. Firstly, we are still largely | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
looking in the rear-view mirror. Most of the economic | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
information published today is actually from April, | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
when business confidence And many senior economists I have | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
spoken to who are very close to the government, | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
warn against a false Britain is still facing | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
uncertain times. Uncertainty has been an issue | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
for this leather company in Oxford which has found the post-Brexit | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
world a more difficult proposition. The weaker pound helps exporters | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
like GSK, it is not so good Everything that we buy | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
is in dollars from South America. This means there is an immediate | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
effect if the pound is very weak, so everything since the night | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
of Brexit is costing us 14% more. So this has an immediate | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
effect on our costs. Put simply, selling purses | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
becomes more difficult. And the figures post the referendum | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
do suggest business Well, the data suggests | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
that the economy was performing well What we have seen since the Brexit | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
vote is quite a significant slowdown in business sentiment, | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
in consumer sentiment, and this will have an impact | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
on the economy over Next week the Governor of the Bank | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
of England will announce his latest The bank may even agree to cut | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
interest rates to boost growth, a move that will only come | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
if the economic news has indeed , it is with me now, most of the | :05:09. | :05:26. | |
data refers to be for the EU vote, what does this mean? It has been | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
sparse and somewhat contradictory, sadly economics is never that simple | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
but on issues like manufacturing and services, a part of the UK economy | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
and consumer confidence most of the data we've had since the referendum | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
vote has been worse than it was before the referendum. But there are | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
some contradictory signals also. The stock market has recovered after a | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
dramatic fall after June 23, Sterling although it fell against | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Romney has stabilised and of course that is | :05:58. | :05:58. | |
good for British export. I think we will have to ask for patience from | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
our viewers as to how the economy is doing. It may be until later, | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
perhaps in October, and the big report on the performance of the UK | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
economy in the Autumn Statement at the end of November before we can | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
have a feel, good or bad, on how the UK economy is performing since that | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
momentous vote on June 23. Thank you. | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
The French President Francois Hollande has met | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
religious leaders for talks - after a Catholic priest was murdered | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
One of the men who stabbed Father Jacques Hamel | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
was on probation and wore an electronic tag which was turned | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
The man, 19-year-old Adel Kermiche, had twice previously tried to join | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
so-called Islamic State - also known as Daesh - in Syria. | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Our correspondent Lucy Williamson reports. | :06:55. | :06:55. | |
The words that follow these attacks have lost their power to console. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
They used to give France strength, now they highlight its betrayal. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
In the streets where he grew up, Adel Kermiche is remembered | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
as a troubled man whose radical views had already alerted his | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
TRANSLATION: He was clearly pro-Daesh. | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
Once his parents took him to the police station, | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
they said, lock him up, he's going to commit a crime. | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
The police said they were already monitoring him, but couldn't | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Last year he was arrested in Germany while trying to reach Syria. | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
Two months later, he was caught again in Turkey and | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
In March this year he was released with an electronic tag, | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
which allowed him to leave his house between 8:30 | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
During that window yesterday morning, he came here | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
and together with an accomplice, carried out his assault while elite | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
The moment filmed by a local resident who was woken by the noise. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
With every new target and every new location, | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
So that the death of a local priest in this small suburban church | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
becomes a test of national resilience, an attack | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
In Paris, the government was left defending itself against | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
the charge that its defence of France had failed. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
But was this a failure of intelligence, security or judgment? | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
Or simply the result of freedoms the country wants to protect. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
TRANSLATION: Everything that can be done under the rule of law | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
There can still be some changes, discussions. | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
We are open to suggestions from the opposition. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
But you cannot protect the rule of law by rejecting the rule of law. | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
And on a visit to Italy today, the Prime Minister said | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
that the threat from these attacks crossed borders, | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
Yesterday's attack in northern France on an innocent Catholic | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
priest in a place of sanctuary and peace was yet another brutal | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
reminder of the threat that we all face. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Following on from the atrocities in Nice and Germany, | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
it reinforces the need for action both in Europe and on | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
In the Church of Notre Dame tonight, prayers have begun to honour | :09:21. | :09:35. | |
Father Jacques Hamel and the hostages of Saint Etienne. | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
But faith in France's protectors is harder now, | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
with the country divided over what protection means. | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
Some of the media here have began to rebel against the wall to wall | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
coverage that follows these attacks. The French daily newspaper Le Monde | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
and one of the most popular radio stations in the country have said | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
they will not publish any more photographs of attackers and one of | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
the main radio stations has said it will not broadcast their names. | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
Thank you, Lucy Williams on. The overtime bill for hospital | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
consultants has risen by more than a third in the past two years | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
across the UK. A BBC investigation has found that | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
one doctor in Lancashire earned an extra ?375,000 | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
pounds over 12 months. The Department of Health says it's | :10:25. | :10:25. | |
working to reduce overtime costs. Here's our Health | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
correspondent Dominic Hughes. A specialised eye examination | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
under way in Wigan. Here, they've changed | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
the way they work. Saving money that was paid | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
to consultants to do extra shifts. So, instead of a doctor, | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
an expert nurse now sees That keeps the hospital's finances | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
under control and frees up consultants to treat | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
the really complex cases. The main benefit is that we as | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
an organisation have less financial pressure because we're not having | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
to pay out these premium pay rates. By working together, we can solve | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
some pretty tricky problems. And the bottom line is, | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
it's the patients who benefit. But many other hospitals | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
are facing a rising bill The average basic salary | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
for a consultant is ?89,000 a year. Across the UK, extra overtime cost | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
?160 million last year. One doctor made nearly ?375,000 | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
in 12 months at a Trust where a shortage of consultants | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
means a heavy workload. There's too much demand | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
and there aren't enough consultants. So what you're trying to do | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
is to ask a workforce that is already stretched | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
to and sometimes beyond its limits It's simply an effect of too much | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
demand, too few consultants. Specialist nurses like Ewan now | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
carry out procedures that once That's better for patients | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
because they can get to see Ewan a lot more frequently and it saves | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
the hospital an awful lot of money. At present each hospital trust can | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
make its own arrangements on how it NHS employers want more continuity, | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
with a common approach to how extra The changes put in place at Wigan | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
demonstrate it is possible to cut But health service managers | :12:19. | :12:35. | |
in England hope a new contract for consultants currently | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
being negotiated will help end Police in Pakistan have begun | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
a murder investigation following the death of a woman | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
from Bradford last week. Samia Shahid, who was 28, | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
died last week in Northern Punjab. Her husband believes she was killed | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
because her family disapproved The Labour leadership contender | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
Owen Smith has set out plans to strengthen workers' | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
rights as he campaigns to Speaking in Sheffield, | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
he promised to abolish zero hours contracts and to end | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
the public sector pay freeze. Mr Smith announced a packed | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
list of policies - and said he wanted to bring | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
about a revolution Our Political correspondent | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
Vicki Young has more details. Owen Smith needs to make an impact | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
and he only has a few weeks to do it. Ladies and gentlemen, Owen | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
Smith. Today he made a direct pitch to those who last year propelled | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership. We need a revolution. Not some misty | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
eyed romantic notion of revolution where we will overthrow capitalism | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
and return to a socialist nirvana! I don't know who I'm referring to! But | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
A cold eyed, practical socialist revolution. And Mr Smith showered | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
his audience with new policy ideas. And under a Labour government that I | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
hope to lead the public sector pay freeze would end. We would spend an | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
extra 4% per annum on the NHS. Inequality busting wealth tax in | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
Britain. The ?200 billion promise to borrow funds at historic low rates | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
in order to invest in the future. The task for Labour is daunting. | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
They've lost dozens of seats in Scotland and elsewhere Ukip are | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
breathing down their neck. What would you do about Ukip voters, | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
those who have left Labour in the north, particularly of England? I | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
would give them hope that there is a Labour government that gets why they | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
are angry. That understands why they feel Britain is very unfair. But | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
understands why they feel that some people get a fairer | :14:52. | :15:06. | |
crack whip and they are getting. That's what maybes about. Bread and | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
butter issues, building the houses we need, making sure people can | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
afford them. Simple things Labour needs to hang onto. They are our | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
ideas, we should be delivering them. What do voters make of the party 's | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
problems? I don't like Jeremy Corbyn. I feel he isn't good enough. | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
I don't really like Corbyn, I like his ideas but I don't think he's got | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
the charisma. I'm a bit dissolution with them all. The stuff they come | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
out with this coming in here and going out of there. One Owen Smith | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
wants to be Prime Minister. Before that he must convince Labour Party | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
members to back him. He hopes that they will look at his | :15:38. | :15:55. | |
long list of left-wing policies and be persuaded that he would present | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
them more effectively than Jeremy Corbyn. But his supporters say he | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
has set the agenda, not Owen Smith. Jeremy was the person who stood | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
alone in that when it wasn't fashionable and started putting | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
forward these policies. It's easy for people to jump on the bandwagon | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
now because it's popular. Owen Smith made his speech today on the site of | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
a former coking plant, now a business park. He believes his | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
vision will regenerate the Labour Party. Vicki Young, BBC News, | :16:16. | :16:16. | |
Sheffield. A growth spurt for the UK economy - | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
official figures say it expanded faster than expected in the run-up | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
to the vote to leave the EU. We're with world champion | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
Matt Whitlock, under pressure Celtic score a crucial away goal | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
as they draw 1-1 against Astana of Kazakhstan in the first leg | :16:35. | :16:44. | |
of their Champions League qualifier. For the first time in history | :16:45. | :16:54. | |
a woman has been nominated by a major party to become President | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
of the United States. The Democratic Party has formally | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
backed Hillary Clinton as its candidate, at its | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Convention in Philadelphia. It comes 23 years after she first | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
entered the White House - as First Lady to her husband | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
President Bill Clinton. Our North America Editor | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
Jon Sopel has more. You felt history in the hall | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
as the votes were cast. It is 96 years since women got | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
the vote in the US. And 51 votes for the next President | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
of the United States of America, Then it was the turn of Vermont, | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
home of Senator Bernie Sanders. And in a move which delighted | :17:35. | :17:49. | |
the Clinton camp he called for the rules to be suspended | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
so she would be elected unanimously. I move that all votes, | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
all votes cast by delegates be reflected in the official record | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
and I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
of the Democratic Party The keynote speaker | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
was an ex-President who might just Those of us who have more | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
yesterdays than tomorrows seem to care more about our | :18:19. | :18:29. | |
children and grandchildren. The reason you should | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
elect her is that in the greatest country on earth we have always | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
been about tomorrow. Your children and grandchildren | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
will bless you forever if you do. The one advantage the Democrats have | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
over the Republicans is glitz. Eight years ago Hillary Clinton | :18:46. | :18:59. | |
famously said she had made millions of cracks in the glass ceiling | :19:00. | :19:08. | |
when she fought Barack Obama for If there are any little girls out | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
there who stayed up late to watch, let me just say I may become | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
the first woman President, Thank you all, I cannot wait to join | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
you in Philadelphia. Some in the hall cried | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
with joy and relief, but the polling data showed that | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Hillary Clinton has The glass ceiling which awaits her | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
in November will not A lot of the speeches we heard | :19:39. | :19:52. | |
yesterday were reminding America about what Hillary Clinton had | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
achieved, for personal qualities. Today the headline act is Barack | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
Obama and I would expect him to focus on the strength of character | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
and intellect that you need to be president and I am sure he will say | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
that Hillary Clinton has it and Donald Trump doesn't. Donald Trump | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
has given a news conference recently in which he almost sort of seemed to | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
be urging the Russians to commit cyber espionage against Hillary | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Clinton to find out what is in some of deleted e-mails. That has swift | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
condemnation from the Hillary Clinton campaign and I would not be | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
surprised if it formed some of Barack Obama's speech later this | :20:34. | :20:34. | |
evening. Parents are being warned that | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
children are almost twice as likely to trespass on the railway in summer | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
than in winter. Network Rail and the | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
British Transport Police have released these pictures | :20:43. | :20:43. | |
of people narrowly avoiding accidents on the tracks - | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
in an effort to highlight Over the past decade, | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
almost 170 young people have been killed after trespassing | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
on the railway. More than two-thirds | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
were hit by trains. Police investigating the attempted | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
abduction of an RAF serviceman in Norfolk last week have released | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
e-fits of the two men The victim fought off the attackers | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
who tried to bundle him into a vehicle, as he was jogging | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
outside RAF Marham. Police said both attackers | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
were of "Middle Eastern appearance". Let's join our correspondent | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
Robert Hall who's outside A week on the incident which | :21:16. | :21:29. | |
unfolded a short distance from where I am currently standing still | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
preoccupies many of the thousands of people who live and work here at RAF | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
Marham. Today they found fresh police checkpoints on every road | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
leading to and from the base. Uniformed officers and detectives | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
trying to gather new information which would enable them to establish | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
why this attempted abduction took place, who was responsible and where | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
they are now. Were you in this area | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
between 1pm and 4pm? It was an instant which lasted less | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
than a minute, but which has led to another day of intense activity | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
on the lanes of Norfolk. The focus has been on these faces, | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
created from the memories of the young serviceman who ran | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
for his life a week ago. Investigators believe someone | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
from the RAF community may have seen the men as they prepared or fled | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
from their attempted abduction. The serviceman had told police | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
that he became aware of a dark vehicle, possibly a people carrier | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
on the other side of the road. He said in a matter of seconds a man | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
had jumped out of that vehicle, If he had not reacted as he did | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
by head-butting that man and knocking him to the ground | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
the outcome would have The landscape here illustrates | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
the challenge of tracing that Empty farmland, quiet roads | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
and little CCTV. That is why information from those | :22:41. | :22:53. | |
who live and work at RAF Marham is so important. | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
Last weeks incident has added to concerns over security | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
Police say that the motives for this attempted abduction | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
We said last week that there was no credible evidence of it | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
being a terrorist related incident but we couldn't discount it, | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
But if it is not a terrorist related abduction, attempted abduction, | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
I am looking at other possibilities, could this be a case of mistaken | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
identity, could this be something entirely unconnected? | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
Norfolk police are in close touch with anti-terrorism specialists | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
but they believe key information will emerge locally. | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
They have warned anyone spotting the suspects | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
Robert Hall, BBC News, at RAF Marham. | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
It's a little over a week to go to the Rio Olympics - | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
where Team GB are looking to win 48 medals. | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
One of the squad's best hopes is 23 year old Max Whitlock. | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
The world champion gymnast was just a teenager when he unexpectedly won | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
team and individual bronze at the London 2012 Games. | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
Since then he's battled illness, but also won a host of other medals. | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
He met Katherine Downes at his training base in Essex. | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
That's what strikes you when you meet Max Whitlock. | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
Since bronze in London he spent the last four years working to make | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
I was an underdog going in there, I was only 19 years old, | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
I helped with the team result, that's the first time we've | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
And then for me to get an individual bronze medal, | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
I was so pleased with my achievement and what I produced on that day. | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
While his friend and rival silver medallist Louis Smith became | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
a household name after London, for Max it was straight back to the gym. | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
The pair will go head-to-head again in Rio. | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
At the end of the day, that's pushing us both even more | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
which is the best thing for our team. | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
The highest scores we have on those individual apparatus, | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
the better scores we hopefully come out with as a team. | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
So, you know, it's healthy competition. | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
While the rivalry might be healthy, Max himself has been anything but. | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
Glandular fever laid him low for three months last year | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
but through sheer grit he fought back to become the first British man | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Makes a pirouette, what a super, super challenge! | :25:10. | :25:20. | |
So how many times a day are you here? | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
We usually do two sessions with a lunch break in between. | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
Well, this is my strongest piece, yes. | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
It's a piece that a lot of my focus is on most of the time. | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
I do double sessions on the pommel horse every day. | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
I use that as a lot of my motivation to push me even harder. | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
To get to the highest level that I possibly could. | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
What's it like going into an Olympic Games | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
It calms me, knowing that I've got that title behind me. | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
You know, some people can see it as a lot more pressure, | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
but I see that as a result I've got in the bag now, | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
I need to move forward, I need to go in and produce the best | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
And with that, it's back to training. | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Something for everyone over the next few days, sunshine and somewhat in | :26:06. | :26:21. | |
for the gardens, some rain around at some stage. A few showers just now | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
notably across some parts of south-east England. As you can see a | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
lot of us enjoying a fine end to the day, showers continuing across the | :26:34. | :26:35. | |
North of Scotland and then later on in the night we will see cloud and | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
eventually some rain turning up across Northern Ireland. It will | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
take much of the night before that rain arrives and for most other | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
places it will be a dry night. Not assume it as last night, fresher | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
feel across the South, better for sleeping. It will be a wet start to | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
the day for Northern Ireland, some questions about how far north the | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
rain extends as it pushes into Scotland but certainly south of the | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
central belt. The rain will push into Westergaard 's of England and | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
Wales, breakfast time many western coastal areas will be damp but | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
elsewhere it will be dry with some morning sunshine to enjoy across | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
many central and eastern counties of England. It will feel nice out there | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
indeed but want last for ever because it will move its way west to | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
east across England and Wales. More persistent across Northern Ireland, | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
Scotland and England. It will brighten up buying the rain across | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
parts of Wales, central and southern England and it might spark the odd | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
heavy thundery shower. Muggy across the South and fresher further north. | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
We will see the band of rain, showery rain pushing its way | :27:50. | :27:52. | |
southwards and by Friday it. Be there or thereabouts across central | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
and southern parts of England but behind that brighter skies again, | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
sunshine and one last day of relative humidity across the South. | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
Fresher air in the north and it will push its way down across the whole | :28:05. | :28:06. | |
country as we hit the weekend. A growth spurt for the UK economy - | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
official figures say it expanded faster than expected in the run-up | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
to the vote to leave the EU. That's all from the BBC News at Six | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
- so it's goodbye from me - and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
