:01:52. > :01:56.More than 10,000 athletes from 206 countries will be taking part

:02:26. > :02:30.after Brazil was awarded the Olympic Games, all eyes will tonight be on
:02:31. > :02:35.the Marikana. Rio will draw heavily on its history of Carnival and
:02:36. > :02:40.diversity, putting on a spectacle costing a fraction of London's
:02:41. > :02:44.extravaganza four years ago. Rehearsals, inspirational, says one
:02:45. > :02:51.British resident of the city taking part in the show. Brazilian friends
:02:52. > :02:55.of mine came away very emotional. Considering the limited budget, the
:02:56. > :02:59.feedback has also been that the lights and everything else they have
:03:00. > :03:05.used to their advantage have made the show, live. In a working-class
:03:06. > :03:08.district of Rio, plenty of local pride, as the Olympic torch arrived
:03:09. > :03:14.after a marathon journey across Brazil.
:03:15. > :03:19.TRANSLATION: It's a huge incentive for young and old alike. We are
:03:20. > :03:24.excited and competent for this Games in Brazil. Public support for the
:03:25. > :03:29.Games has sometimes felt patchy. In areas where there has been little
:03:30. > :03:33.investment, they ask, who are the Olympics for? But as the opening
:03:34. > :03:38.ceremony approaches, there has been plenty of enthusiasm, some protest
:03:39. > :03:44.and a lot of security. 85,000 troops have been deployed on the streets.
:03:45. > :03:47.Health, health, shouts one protester, amid real anger at the
:03:48. > :03:55.billions being spent staging the Olympics when Rio has arguably more
:03:56. > :04:00.pressing priorities. This is a city undoubtably transformed by the
:04:01. > :04:04.Games. Some new infrastructure and the regeneration of previously no-go
:04:05. > :04:08.areas. But there have been missed opportunities, too. Chronic levels
:04:09. > :04:13.of water pollution and a city with still high levels of inequality. The
:04:14. > :04:14.Olympic Games is perhaps not providing as much momentum for
:04:15. > :04:18.change as had been promised. It's the first time the Olympics has
:04:19. > :04:21.been held in South America. More than 500,000 spectators
:04:22. > :04:23.are expected to descend on Rio And as the city makes its final
:04:24. > :04:27.preparations, the stage is set for quite a spectacle,
:04:28. > :04:44.as Natalie Pirks reports. Ask anyone to describe Rio and this
:04:45. > :04:50.would be right up there. Sun, surfing and the seemingly
:04:51. > :04:55.never-ending sand. But now the marvellous city is staging their
:04:56. > :04:59.biggest ever party. The action will be spread over four main areas, with
:05:00. > :05:05.much of the competition taking place at the newly built Olympic Park.
:05:06. > :05:08.This will be the heart of the games. Half a million spectators here to
:05:09. > :05:13.see the likes of the swimmers in a magnificent summing pool. There will
:05:14. > :05:17.be handball, fencing, gymnastics, and the track cyclists will call the
:05:18. > :05:21.velodrome their home, only completed six weeks ago. You also have the
:05:22. > :05:26.tennis arena, where Andy Murray will attempt to defend his title. Many of
:05:27. > :05:30.Team GB's athletes have a ready trained in the venues, with the
:05:31. > :05:34.divers getting a taste of the outdoors in the arena. Tom Daley
:05:35. > :05:41.believes Rio will deliver a more laid-back Games than London. These
:05:42. > :05:46.Games will be so much fun. London was quite formal. It was spectacular
:05:47. > :05:50.and amazing. This is a little less formal, but it makes it fun, too.
:05:51. > :05:58.Not everything is so serious and regimented. I think people coming to
:05:59. > :06:02.these Games will have a blast. A record number of 206 countries will
:06:03. > :06:09.compete in a record number of events here in Rio. In total, more than
:06:10. > :06:14.11,000 athletes will compete in 300 and events, across 28 different
:06:15. > :06:19.sports. Few venues will surpass the beauty of the rowing and canoeing
:06:20. > :06:25.sprints, taking place on a stunning lake virtually in the centre of Rio.
:06:26. > :06:29.The same could be said of another iconic area, the Copacabana, where
:06:30. > :06:33.you will find the likes of the triathlon, open water swimming and
:06:34. > :06:37.where else for the beach volleyball? Inside the venues, there are some
:06:38. > :06:40.major stories waiting to unfold. Usain Bolt will attempt to become
:06:41. > :06:45.the first man in history to win three sprint old medals at three
:06:46. > :06:51.consecutive Games. Simone Biles is expected to light up the gymnastics
:06:52. > :06:54.arena, and the most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael
:06:55. > :07:00.Phelps, will be looking for a remarkable 23rd Olympic medal in the
:07:01. > :07:05.pool. Rio is made for the Olympics. It is a wonderful setting. We have
:07:06. > :07:08.amazing fields of play for the athletes, a beautiful setting, warm
:07:09. > :07:14.people very excited to have the Olympics, welcome to the first Games
:07:15. > :07:16.in South America. The city will provide a breathtaking backdrop and
:07:17. > :07:18.the scene is set for the action to begin.
:07:19. > :07:21.Our sports editor Dan Roan is at Rio's Maracana Stadium
:07:22. > :07:23.where the opening ceremony is being staged tonight.
:07:24. > :07:32.Dan, it's called the greatest show on Earth, but can Rio pull it off?
:07:33. > :07:40.This may not be quite as efficient a Games as London 2012, but having
:07:41. > :07:45.said that, as we saw, it does have one big natural advantage. It will
:07:46. > :07:50.look absolutely stunning. No city can match its backdrop. But the
:07:51. > :07:56.build-up to Rio 2016 has been amongst the most challenging any
:07:57. > :07:59.Games has seen. Political upheaval, economic recession, concerns over
:08:00. > :08:04.the Zika virus, crime and pollution, one of the worst doping scandals
:08:05. > :08:11.sport has seen in recent years, and in the last few minutes, the
:08:12. > :08:15.football legend, Pele, has dropped out. He was expected to be the man
:08:16. > :08:17.to light the Olympic cauldron. He has dropped out because of health
:08:18. > :08:20.issues. Having said that, if tonight can pass off well, and this is the
:08:21. > :08:24.pinnacle for 10,000 athletes who will be here after years of
:08:25. > :08:27.training, this opening ceremony, watched by around 3 billion people
:08:28. > :08:32.around the world on television, it will be a huge relief to organisers,
:08:33. > :08:37.who will hope that the focus now shifts towards the sport instead of
:08:38. > :08:40.controversy. If some of the names from that previous package provides
:08:41. > :08:45.some inspirational performances, many of those problems may well be
:08:46. > :08:48.forgotten. This has already been a spectacular summer of sport with
:08:49. > :08:53.Chris Froome winning the Tour de France and Andy Murray triumphing at
:08:54. > :08:56.Wimbledon. Wales reached the semifinals of the European
:08:57. > :09:00.Championships as well, but nothing perhaps can beat the Olympic Games,
:09:01. > :09:03.which has the potential to inspire and surpass every sporting event.
:09:04. > :09:06.And you won't miss a moment of the Rio Games with the BBC.
:09:07. > :09:09.We'll bring you live coverage on TV, radio and online, as well as
:09:10. > :09:19.And you can find a day by day guide to what's on when on our website.
:09:20. > :09:21.Royal Bank of Scotland - which is largely owned
:09:22. > :09:24.by the taxpayer - has announced losses of more than ?2 billion
:09:25. > :09:27.Its chief executive said the bank was still addressing
:09:28. > :09:29."legacy issues", including settling PPI claims.
:09:30. > :09:31.Today's figures mean the bank's total losses have topped
:09:32. > :09:34.?50 billion since the financial crisis in 2008.
:09:35. > :09:44.We've all got a past, but RBS's is more painful than most.
:09:45. > :09:47.As much as it tries to get on with its life, it
:09:48. > :09:50.continues to be haunted by the events of eight years ago.
:09:51. > :09:53.Tonight at 10pm, all change for the British banking system,
:09:54. > :09:55.and the taxpayer foots the massive bill.
:09:56. > :10:02.The Royal Bank of Scotland is being effectively nationalised.
:10:03. > :10:04.It's a frustrating case of one step forward and two steps back
:10:05. > :10:11.The first thing is, this is a magnificent business.
:10:12. > :10:13.Each quarter it makes about ?1 billion of profit before tax.
:10:14. > :10:17.And then year-on-year we get hit by legacy issues.
:10:18. > :10:20.I think what's been surprising is that they keep coming, but these
:10:21. > :10:25.We are trying to deal with as many this year which ever
:10:26. > :10:30.And that's exactly how this year has panned out.
:10:31. > :10:32.Wiping out any profits were 700 million for litigation
:10:33. > :10:37.costs going right back to 2008, 630 million in selling
:10:38. > :10:40.old stuff at a loss, and another 450 million
:10:41. > :10:44.for the mis-selling of payment protection insurance.
:10:45. > :10:46.All that contributed to a loss of ?2 billion
:10:47. > :10:53.You know, I stood in this very spot in 2008 when RBS had made
:10:54. > :10:55.the biggest loss in British corporate history, received
:10:56. > :11:00.Every year since then, RBS has lost money.
:11:01. > :11:03.I didn't expect to be here eight years later saying the total
:11:04. > :11:05.of those losses now exceeds ?50 billion, more money
:11:06. > :11:13.And the value of the shares we got for that stake are now worth less
:11:14. > :11:19.And RBS may find reporters outside for years to come.
:11:20. > :11:25.RBS is doing a lot of the right things with its business model.
:11:26. > :11:28.It is expanding, it's doing that in a competitive environment.
:11:29. > :11:34.But it's got its history to deal with and it's just not going away.
:11:35. > :11:40.And the biggest thing out there is the settlement about US
:11:41. > :11:43.mortgage-backed securities from way back when.
:11:44. > :11:47.It's a biggie, and it's hanging on and it's hard for RBS to make
:11:48. > :11:54.A process to revive the old Williams and Glyn brand has been beset
:11:55. > :11:56.by technical difficulties and was finally shelved today.
:11:57. > :12:00.The 300 branches it has to sell as a condition of its 2008
:12:01. > :12:04.bail out now look likely to be sold to a rival.
:12:05. > :12:05.Still three quarters owned by the taxpayer,
:12:06. > :12:09.it's unlikely RBS will make a profit or that we'll get any
:12:10. > :12:14.That will make it a lost decade for a bank that on some measures
:12:15. > :12:22.At least 10 people have been arrested following protests
:12:23. > :12:25.by Black Lives Matter campaigners which blocked the main road
:12:26. > :12:29.into Heathrow Airport for a time this morning.
:12:30. > :12:31.There were similar protests at Birmingham airport and a number

:13:10. > :13:14.Sources have told the BBC there have been tensions within
:13:15. > :13:23.Our correspondent Tom Symonds reports.
:13:24. > :13:31.His face is never welcome these days, but really, this all started
:13:32. > :13:36.with him, the flood of disclosures about child abusers. An enquiry was
:13:37. > :13:40.demanded. In the search for a chairman, two senior lawyers came
:13:41. > :13:43.and went, too close to the establishment. Finally, Dame Lowell
:13:44. > :13:46.Goddard was brought in from New Zealand. Hope, that she was far
:13:47. > :13:51.enough removed to be truly independent. I come with certainly
:13:52. > :13:57.no agenda other than to work hard and get to the bottom of the
:13:58. > :14:04.allegations and to find answers for the survivors and the government.
:14:05. > :14:07.She began a vast enquiry, 13 wide-ranging subjects. Possible
:14:08. > :14:13.abuse in high office is only one of them. Much bigger is the examination
:14:14. > :14:16.of wrongdoing in children's homes in Rochdale, Nottingham and Lambeth,
:14:17. > :14:21.for starters. The allegations about the Anglican and Catholic churches.
:14:22. > :14:25.The focus is institutional failure, but when a public figure like Labour
:14:26. > :14:28.peer Lord Janner was accused of abusing children within
:14:29. > :14:33.institutions, the enquiry said it had to assess the facts of what he
:14:34. > :14:35.did. Today, abuse victims and survivors working on the enquiry
:14:36. > :14:40.were locked in a long meeting at this London hotel will stop shocked
:14:41. > :14:46.at Dame Goddard's resignation, they were given little explanation. But
:14:47. > :14:50.one source said there was tension between the judge and her officials.
:14:51. > :14:54.Another described it as conflict. A third has told us in the past that
:14:55. > :14:58.she is difficult to work with. Yet somebody more sympathetic to her has
:14:59. > :15:04.said she simply didn't get the support and loyalty she needed to do
:15:05. > :15:09.this difficult job. But those at today's meeting were told that the
:15:10. > :15:13.enquiry goes on. They did a good job of trying to reassure people that
:15:14. > :15:17.the enquiry would continue and that there would not be any undue delays
:15:18. > :15:21.in the public hearings, and they would move as quickly as possible to
:15:22. > :15:26.try and get a suitable replacement chair in place. The new Home
:15:27. > :15:30.Secretary, Amber Rudd, met those working with the enquiry today.
:15:31. > :15:33.Finding a replacement will be a daunting task for her. Both the
:15:34. > :15:36.Minister and the judge have been told to appear in front of MPs next
:15:37. > :15:50.month to explain themselves. Just hours until the Olympics get
:15:51. > :15:56.underway in Brazil, thousands of athletes will take part in the
:15:57. > :15:59.opening ceremony in Rio tonight. And I'm in Abergavenny. This is the
:16:00. > :16:05.first time this major cultural event has happened in this town for over
:16:06. > :16:07.100 years. In Olympic Sportsday on BBC News,
:16:08. > :16:19.the latest from Rio. Police and firefighters are warning
:16:20. > :16:23.that a highly dangerous new method of making super strength cannabis
:16:24. > :16:28.is emerging in Britain. It's called butane hash oil -
:16:29. > :16:32.or BHO - and involves using large amounts of the flammable
:16:33. > :16:34.gas, which can explode A BBC investigation has learned
:16:35. > :16:40.of two deaths and more than 30 people being injured across the UK,
:16:41. > :16:43.as a result of making the drug. They want to get high
:16:44. > :16:54.but are risking their lives, This is probably the most
:16:55. > :17:16.concentrated form of Nicknamed Shatter or Dabs,
:17:17. > :17:23.this is BHO, butane hash oil, Usually the very highest
:17:24. > :17:31.quality is the more gold. The more gold it is,
:17:32. > :17:34.the higher quality. Alex takes it for a chronic
:17:35. > :17:35.medical condition. Undoubtedly it is growing,
:17:36. > :17:47.it is huge, compared to just last year, it's ten times bigger
:17:48. > :17:50.and I expect it will be ten It means more people may try
:17:51. > :18:00.and make it and hurt themselves. They are using the butane
:18:01. > :18:03.as a solvent to extract Squirting raw butane
:18:04. > :18:06.into a compartment and it only takes the smallest of ignition sources
:18:07. > :18:13.to create that explosion. With trained fire investigators
:18:14. > :18:15.in a specialist facility, we can show how
:18:16. > :18:17.dangerous it really is. Here, using just one canister,

:18:37. > :18:40.this is real life. What's left of a BHO factory
:18:41. > :18:43.in a flat in Birmingham, concrete beams snapped in two,
:18:44. > :18:46.debris blown across the street, hundreds of cans of butane
:18:47. > :18:50.were found inside. The explosion triggered
:18:51. > :18:57.by the switch of an electric kettle. One man was so badly hurt here,
:18:58. > :19:04.he died later in hospital. The house had to be
:19:05. > :19:05.completely demolished. This isn't a one-off,
:19:06. > :19:08.we know of at least one other death and 25 serious injuries linked
:19:09. > :19:10.to hash oil explosions We've seen an increase

:22:01. > :22:10.that the 28-year-old beautician was strangled
:22:11. > :22:13.while she was there last month. Her husband has claimed
:22:14. > :22:17.she was killed by her family because they disapproved
:22:18. > :22:20.of their marriage. The family have denied any
:22:21. > :22:24.wrongdoing, and no arrests have been More than 1,000 so-called honour
:22:25. > :22:29.killings were reported The authorities here say
:22:30. > :22:39.they are speaking to police over there about what happened
:22:40. > :22:42.and are reviewing all the people The cleric described the 28-year-old
:22:43. > :22:45.beautician as "sensitive" and said he was devastated by
:22:46. > :22:47.the way in which she died. It's a celebration of Welsh
:22:48. > :23:02.literature, music and performance. The Eisteddfod is the biggest
:23:03. > :23:04.travelling arts festival in Europe and it's a tradition that can be
:23:05. > :23:12.traced back to the 12th century. It's held over eight days
:23:13. > :23:14.and for the first time in more than 100 years it's taking
:23:15. > :23:16.place in Abergavenny. Our Arts Editor,
:23:17. > :24:11.Will Gompertz, is there. It exists to further the Welsh
:24:12. > :24:15.language, and everybody realises that we have this Welsh language
:24:16. > :24:23.policy, which states that all of the performances will be in Welsh.
:24:24. > :24:27.This is the field where all of the performances are in Welsh and all
:24:28. > :24:37.the signage. The star attractions take place in the main pavilion over
:24:38. > :24:41.there. There is no doubt this is an
:24:42. > :24:45.important cultural event, but the festival has been criticised in the
:24:46. > :24:49.past for being too inward looking and a little unwelcoming to the 80%
:24:50. > :24:56.of Welsh people who do not speak the language.
:24:57. > :25:02.Changes are a foot, with more contemporary shows, like this new
:25:03. > :25:10.piece by an acclaimed harpist. This whole thing is about celebration of
:25:11. > :25:13.the language. It is always important to bear in mind we must welcome
:25:14. > :25:17.everybody else and increasingly they are doing that. I would hope that as
:25:18. > :25:23.a non-Welsh language speaker you could come and still have a lovely
:25:24. > :25:28.day and enjoy the culture that we celebrate. The festival is making a
:25:29. > :25:32.rare visit to the largely English speaking Welsh town of Abergavenny,
:25:33. > :25:38.where it gets a mixed reception. It is a lot of Welsh. Some of it, you
:25:39. > :25:41.think, what is the point? It has definitely encouraged a lot of
:25:42. > :25:50.people I know to start learning Welsh. From two years ago when we
:25:51. > :25:53.first knew it was coming here. These award-winning Welsh folk singers
:25:54. > :25:57.worry that the approach can be too insular. Normalise the Welsh
:25:58. > :26:01.language. Sing your song that happens to be in the Welsh language.
:26:02. > :26:08.Don't make a big thing about it. If you start thinking in and keeping
:26:09. > :26:14.every thing safe and Welsh, that is the problem we are going to suffer
:26:15. > :26:17.as a Welsh nation. So collaboration, not isolation, is their vision for
:26:18. > :26:21.the future of the Welsh language, and a festival which wants to be
:26:22. > :26:55.seen as an open house, not a walled garden.
:26:56. > :27:01.Essentially for most of us it will be a fine end to the working week
:27:02. > :27:07.with clear skies this evening and overnight. Not particularly cold in
:27:08. > :27:10.city centres. But as usual, across the North in the countryside it will
:27:11. > :27:19.turn the peak, with temperatures dipping down.
:27:20. > :27:26.Gale force winds later in the day around the western coast but for the
:27:27. > :27:30.bulk of the country a fine day. Temperatures in the sunshine peaking
:27:31. > :27:35.in London at 25 degrees, 23 in Yorkshire and in the lowlands of
:27:36. > :27:39.Scotland not far off 20 degrees. As well as the Eisteddfod we have the
:27:40. > :27:42.Edinburgh Festival running through August and it's not looking bad for
:27:43. > :27:47.the first few days. Saturday evening, fine end to the day for
:27:48. > :27:50.most of England and Wales but you can see that the winds are
:27:51. > :27:55.increasing in the north-west of the UK, bits and pieces of rain and with
:27:56. > :27:59.this wind comes a rush of mild muggy air. So first thing Sunday morning
:28:00. > :28:03.it will feel close and warm and probably if I were to draw a line
:28:04. > :28:09.around here from northern England northwards, gale force gusts of wind
:28:10. > :28:14.buffeting those treess towards the south, breezy conditions and
:28:15. > :28:20.sunshine getting up to around 25 Celsius. Overall for most of us not
:28:21. > :28:22.too bad and for that all-important opening ceremony, 26 degrees in Rio,
:28:23. > :28:35.with clear skies. Thank you. The 2016 Olympics are about to get
:28:36. > :28:37.underway in Brazil with the opening ceremony in Rio just hours away.
