is convicted of encouraging support for so-called Islamic State | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
The 49-year-old, who's spent 20 years spreading | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
He'd used social media to encourage supporters to back IS | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
Those speeches and the material he posted was used | :00:21. | :00:22. | |

by guaranteeing at least a bronze, as she reached the semi-finals | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:21. | :01:48. | |
The radical British-born preacher Anjem Choudary has been found guilty | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
of inviting support for so called Islamic State. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
Another man was convicted of the same offence. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
The Crown Prosecution service said the pair had used the power | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
of social media to try to influence their followers - | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
including the young and the vulnerable. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
The men were found guilty three weeks ago at a trial | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
at the Old Bailey, but for legal reasons the media has been unable | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
Here's our home affairs correspondent June Kelly | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
The whole world, one day, my dear brothers, | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
Including Hackney, and Walthamstow, and Moscow, and New York. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
All of the countries, inshallah, under the | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Anjem Choudary has long been a provocative figure. | :02:26. | :02:36. | |
For years, the police and intelligence agencies | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
have been monitoring his movements and speeches. | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
He knew this and, as a trained lawyer, he knew how to stay | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
on the right side of the law - until now. | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
If you look at his influence and the impact, that was then | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
available to people across the world. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
Without a doubt, those speeches and material he posted was used | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
In my view, the UK is a safer place with him behind bars. | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
Choudary has now been convicted of inviting support for so-called | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
The jury wasn't told that one of his keenest followers, | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
Siddhartha Dhar, fled the UK while on bail and is joined IS. | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
He is suspected of being the new "Jihadi John", | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
Dhar posted this picture of himself when he arrived in Syria. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
His newborn son in one arm, an AK-47 in the other. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
The injustice, and the oppression done to the Muslim community | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
And amongst others to fall under Anjem Choudary's spell | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
He was one of the pair that went on to murder Fusilier Lee Rigby | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
Richard Dart was another Anjem Choudary disciple. | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
Here, Choudary was actually converting him to Islam. | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
Three years ago, Dart was jailed for terrorism offences. | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
As a film-maker, his brother met the radical preacher | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
He's kind of like a father figure to these young guys, | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
He radicalises people, he indoctrinates them | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Choudary wasn't always so anti-Western. | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
As a student, he liked to drink and wasn't offended by pictures | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
But from his 20s, he became a political zealot. | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
Anjem Choudary delivered his speeches on streets like this, | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
Down the years, he's been linked to countless extremists, | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
But he was never charged with any serious offence. | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
It was the conflict in Syria which changed this. | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
In the summer of 2014, the IS leadership declared | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
the establishment of an Islamic state. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Choudary pledged an oath of allegiance to it and, in talks, | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
The leader who relished being at the centre of events, | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
and had been a teacher to so many, had crossed the legal line. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
Anjem Choudary, in his police custody picture. | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
After two decades, his inflammatory rhetoric has finally been silenced. | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
Well, Sophie, the reason we can now report this verdict is because a | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
separate trial ended here today of a group of men who had been convicted | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
of a similar offence. When this Choudhary verdict was brought in, | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
you could almost feel the wave of relief running through Scotland | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Yard, through Westminster, to the headquarters of the security | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
service, MI5. Anjem Choudary fought this prosecution. He went to court | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
and tried unsuccessfully to have it stopped. When the jury brought in | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
the guilty verdict, this man, who has always been so animated and | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
vocal, he showed no emotion at all and he was led from the dock, down | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
the steps and taken to prison. He will be back at the Old Bailey next | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
month for sentencing. To Rio now where Team | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
GB are guaranteed yet another gold medal - | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
this time in the finn-class sailing after Giles Scott put in such | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
a stunning performance And there are high hopes | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
for Great Britain in the velodrome tonight - with the golden couple | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Laura Trott and Jason Kenney The coronation of Britain's new king | :06:44. | :07:01. | |
of the waves. This was the moment at the weekend when Giles Scott knew he | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
was guaranteed gold. With his final race in a few hours, it will be | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
official. He was overlooked at London 2012 for Sir Ben Ainslie, but | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
Britain's greatest Olympic sailor has a worthy successor. It's an | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
amazing achievement by Giles. Totally dominant performance, | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
really. The first race, I can relate to that from my own Olympics as | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
being a bit of a struggle. After that, he really dominated the field. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
The fact he has won gold without even having to compete in the medal | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
race, it is not unheard of in Olympic sailing, but it is quite | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
rare. Here is another man that had to wait. Mark Cavendish, the elusive | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
first Olympic medal, a case of thrills after the spills. Despite | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
causing that crash, he recovered to take silver, before hinting that | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
this could be his final games. I can't do that cycle thing again, you | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
know? That Olympic cycling? I know I said it eight years ago, you never | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
know. I'm certainly going to retire at some point. When I go home, | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
people get sick of me and tell me to get back on my bike, so... Of the | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
athletics, a moment to light up the games. Brazil's De Silver, about to | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
leap into international folklore. He's got it! No way in your life! It | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
was ten centimetres higher than he had ever jumped before, earning him | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
gold and the adulation of his country. That is what the Olympics | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
can do. But for sheer will to win, it is hard to top this. America's | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Sean a Miller, not so much running as diving for 400 metres gold. And | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
it worked. A picture of pure determination. Rather more routine, | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
but no less glorious, Kenya's David Rudisha retained his 800 metres | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
crown in dominant fashion. And this afternoon, Usain Bolt, starting his | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
quest for the 200 metres, in predictably comfortable style, | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
safely through the heats. It could be another golden night for British | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
cycling's golden couple. Jason Kenney qualifying in the heats of | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
the Kieron, while Laura Trott leads in the omnium. Off Copacabana Beach, | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
the open water swimming. A beautiful backdrop to the most brutal of | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
races. In the redcap, Jack Purnell jostling for a before being | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
disqualified just two metres from the finish. He was not impressed. | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
You put so much into this, four years of brutal hard work, and it is | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
ruined by a couple of judges that just want to pull out a few cards. | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
Of his day wasn't great, how about this? Reigning diving champion, but | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
not for much longer. Proof that even the best can sometimes get it | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
horribly wrong. Let's take a look at the medal | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
table so far on Day 11. In the lead is the USA | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
with 27 gold medals. Great Britain is in second | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
place with 16 golds - though as we were saying earlier | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
we are guaranteed a 17th gold in the next hour thanks | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
to the sailor Giles Scott. That will take our total tally to 42 | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
- but surely there are more to come Thanks, Sophie. No wonder they call | :10:25. | :10:41. | |
this place the medal factory for Team GB. Track cycling in the | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
velodrome has given the country 30% of its gold medals over the last | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
three Games, in Beijing, London and Rio. In these games, seven medals, | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
four of them gold medals. And the prospect of more this evening, not | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
least from Jason Kenney. If he can win, it will be a sixth Olympic gold | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
for him, drawing him level with Sir Chris Hoy. No man in British Olympic | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
history has won more gold medals than that. Then his fiancee, Laura | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
Trott, going for what would be a fourth Olympic gold. That would make | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
her the most successful British woman in Olympic history. Together, | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
that household will have won ten golds, one silver if both are | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
successful this evening. Surely, the most successful Olympic couple that | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
has ever been. When you consider they are just 28 and 24, just | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
imagine how many more they could potentially go on and win. If Jason | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
Kenney continues at this rate, you could become the second most | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
successful Olympian to Michael Phelps of all time, that is how good | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
they have been so far. Team GB, still ahead of China, just. If they | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
can continue that and finish in second, it will be the first time | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
ever they have finished ahead of that Olympic powerhouse. With the | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
likes of Nicola Adams, Mo Farah and the Brownlees to come, there is more | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
to come. Inflation rose more than expected | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
last month to 0.6%, according to the Office for National | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
Statistics. It was pushed up by an increase | :12:08. | :12:08. | |
in the cost of fuel Separate figures out today suggest | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
the fall in the value of the pound since the UK's referendum vote | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
to leave the EU has increased the cost of | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
imports for manufacturers. Here's our economics | :12:19. | :12:19. | |
correspondent Andy Verity. What's Brexit got to do | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
with the price of fish? At this Chessington-based food | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
importer, the scale of the drop in the value | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
of the pound is no joke. We could probably produce a pack | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
like this for around ?4 a pack. Because the pound has fallen | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
to a 30-year low, this firm needs more pounds to buy the same fish | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
in dollars, euros or yen. These yellow-fin tuna | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
fish are an example They come from the western | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
Pacific Ocean and they are Since Brexit they are costing | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
16% more than before. That price rise will feed | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
through to consumers, The cost to companies of raw | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
materials had been falling. But in the year to July, | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
they rose by 4.3%. Many companies like this | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
one can't bear those higher costs alone, so they're | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
already talking to their customers Inflation is likely to be | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
three-and-a-half times that profit. We have to re-engineer our offer, | :13:19. | :13:30. | |
we have to pass on a big part of that inflation to | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
our customers. At commuter stations today, rail | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
passengers were warned of a fare rise next January, | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
based on the old measure of the cost of living, | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
the Retail Prices Index or RPI. That's gone up by 1.9%, | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
more than three times as fast as the official | :13:45. | :13:45. | |
measure, the Consumer Prices Index. Every single day you have | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
problems and you take two, That compared to the price you pay, | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
put it together, it makes This increase, in particular, isn't | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
excessive but if you add them all up, they have gone up | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
a lot, way too much. But if they could keep it | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
in proportion, I don't think anyone would mind a little | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
but I think it is unfair. The train companies say the extra | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
money will be well-spent. We are investing massive | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
amounts of money, around ?1 million every hour, | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
in the railway upgrade programme. ?50 billion over the next few | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
years and delivering a huge number of new trains to provide | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
better and better services. More inflation, not just | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
for rail passengers, the Bank of England is trying | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
to encourage but setting the official interest | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
rate at a record low. But it wants the sort of inflation | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
that goes with economic | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
growth and higher wages. Not the sort that makes life more | :14:48. | :14:48. | |
expensive, even if the economy Andy Verity, BBC News, | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
Chessington. Our top story this evening: | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
Anjem Choudary, Britain's most high profile Islamist preacher, | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
has been convicted of encouraging support for so called | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
Islamic State And still to come, how Simone Biles became | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
the gymnastics star of Rio. Usain Bolt is comfortably | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
through to the semi-finals of the men's 200 metres, | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
breezing past the field, as he eyes his third | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
gold of the Games. The number of wild bees | :15:19. | :15:37. | |
across England is on the decline They say the sharp fall of up to 30% | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
can be linked to the use of a controversial pesticide | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
which is temporarily The research, which was published | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
in the journal Nature communications, was carried out | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
by scientists based in Oxfordshire. Rebecca Morelle | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
is there for us now. Well, it's an idyllic rural scene | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
here but across the countryside we are facing a major problem. Bees are | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
in dramatic decline and the problem has been linked to habitat loss, | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
climate change, and disease. But in recent years, a light has been shone | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
on a group of pesticides called niconicotinoids and scientists | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
believe they have evidence that they are causing a wide-spread problem. | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
They're vital for the environment - pollinating our flowers, | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
But Britain's bees are in trouble and now scientists say there's | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
evidence that pesticides are linked to their widespread decline. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
In farmland across the country, neonicotinoid chemicals have been | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
This field of oilseed rape is just about ready for harvest and it's | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
this crop that's treated with the insecticide. | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
The chemical is applied to seeds before they are planted and this | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
protects the plants from pests as they grow. | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
But since 2013, farms haven't been allowed to use the pesticide, | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
after the European Union put a temporary ban in place. | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
Smaller, lab-base studies suggested they were harming bees, | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
however this it least research from the Centre for Ecology | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
and Hydrology, analysed their effects on dozens of species | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
across the whole of England and they found that bees that | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
foraged on neonicotinoid treated oilseed rape were three times more | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
likely to be in decline than the species that didn't. | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
What we've been able to do is massively increase the scale | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
We are looking at the whole of England. | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
We are looking at long-time periods, over 18 years and looking at 62 | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
And it's this massive increase in scale which separates this study | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
But one company that makes neonicotinoids says it is not clear | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
that the pesticide is to blame and the ban is hurting farmers. | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
The alternatives, when it comes to growing oilseed rape, | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
in the UK landscape, seem to be very few and the ones | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
We are seeing a lot of destruction of crops out there and farmers | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
are really struggling to be able to grow this crop in the UK now. | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
This growing body of research, on the plight of bees, is currently | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
Next year they'll decide whether to lift the ban | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
It's clearly an incredibly complex issue. One of the biggest problems | :18:36. | :18:44. | |
is that it's nearly impossible to grow oilseed rape without | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
pesticides. If you get rid of neonicotinoids you have to replace | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
them with another chemical and that may bring a whole host of other | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
environmental problems but on the other hand bees are eception, they | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
pollinate so many different crops. One thing for sure, is that it is | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
going to be an incredibly difficult decision. | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
A man has died in West Yorkshire after being attacked by a dog, | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
a week after the animal had been returned to its owner | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
It is thought 52-year-old David Ellam was trying | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
to protect his own Yorkshire terrier when the larger dog turned on him.. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
West Yorkshire police said the dog involved had been seized by officers | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
in June following concerns about its safety. | :19:29. | :19:29. | |
Sophie, it happened in that street, as the victim David Ellam was | :19:30. | :19:42. | |
walking his own dog, a Yorkshire terrier yesterday morning. The | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
neighbours say they saw what happened, that he was seriously | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
injured to his leg, his arm and his face. He was badly bledding and | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
collapsed. He was taken to hospital, but died 12 hours later. Police | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
removed this larger dog and it's been taken away to kennels. The case | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission because | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
that dog had been invested by officers a short while ago. It had | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
been seized follow reports about its safety but it was returned to this | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
community where its owners lived, just a matter of days ago. A | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
29-year-old man, who owns that dog, was arrested following the attack. | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
He's been bailed pending further inquiries. | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
A new dementia map - published by the Government - | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
reveals patchy NHS care for the condition across England. | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
While some regions appear to meet national standards in terms | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
of offering support, the Health Secretary says | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
Jeremy Hunt said tackling the disease was a key priority | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
but charities said the "postcode lottery" of care was unacceptable. | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
Nan's had dementia now for about 16 years and so she's in quite | :20:48. | :20:59. | |
an advanced stage but she's got incredible care | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
by people who really care about her personally. | :21:03. | :21:11. | |
The actress, Carey Mulligan, talking there about | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
her grandmother's experience with dementia. | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
She joined the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, at a photocall, | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
as she became the first UK global Dementia Friends ambassador, | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
encouraging volunteers to learn more about supporting people | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
There are ways to live well with Alzheimer's and so as much | :21:23. | :21:37. | |
as there is a fear to it, of course, in families, | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
especially when it's been through several generations, | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
we are also trying to build a better society for people | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
But the Health Secretary says local services could do better | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
as he launched a new dementia atlas, showing how many patients have | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
had the required care review in the last year. | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
In Somerset, for example, fewer than 50% had their care reviewed. | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
In Newark in Sherwood it was nearly 70% and in South Tyneside more | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Today's initiative also aims to promote so-called | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
dementia-friendly communities, including Sevenoaks here in Kent. | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
That's where local organisations work together, to try to raise | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
awareness of dementia, with schemes, including one | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
which helps older people who may be out shopping and become | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
This dementia cafe in a local theatre runs twice monthly. | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
People with dementia and their careers gather | :22:25. | :22:25. | |
My mum enjoys it, so it makes it a positive experience and something | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
And for my dad it means he meets other carers, | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
who obviously understand the situation he is in. | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
But local organisers acknowledge that more needs | :22:46. | :22:46. | |
We'd like to be able to reach more people with more services | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
So, you know, maybe we only reach one in ten of the total population | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
living with dementia at the moment and we'd like to improve on that. | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
Health authorities in Wales and Northern Ireland both said | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
they were investing more in services for those affected by dementia. | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
Scotland will announce a major new strategy later this year. | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
Across the UK, few would disagree with the need to raise care | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Back to the Olympics now and one of the big stars of these games | :23:19. | :23:29. | |
is the American gymnast Simone Biles. | :23:30. | :23:30. | |
In just one week the 19-year-old has already managed to get three Olympic | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
Here's our Sports Correspondent Natalie Pirks. | :23:34. | :23:46. | |
In gymnastics constant quest for perfection, one woman is setting the | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
bar high. In a blur of crystals, with a megawatt smile, Simone Biles | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
has twaken these Olympics by stoorm. But the 19-year-old isn't phased. . | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
I'm enjoying it etch V our whole team is doing so well. Wow, it is | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
amazing. Nadia Cominec's perfect 10 on the | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
bars 40 years ago remains the gold standard. With scoring now | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
different, it can never be repeated but byes floor are you teen comes | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
close. She has a move named after her, so how does she do it? Her tiny | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
frame packs a powerful punch. The short run-up gives her the strength | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
to spring into the double layout reaching up to two times her height. | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
The half twist with the blind landing is so difficult, that no-one | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
had ever landed it successfully in a World Championships before. But she | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
makes it look so simple. The skills that she is performing on a | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
day-to-day basis are incredibly difficult but she makes them look so | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
easy. We have seen training videos of her, where she is performing | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
harder ski.s I think that's her secret. She is able to perform to a | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
higher level but when it comes to competition she is able to drop a | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
level and she's performing in her comfort zone. A foster child, | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
adopted by her grand parents, she caught the gymnastics bug at the age | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
of six. 14 years later, she holds the most World Championships golds | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
of any woman in history Dominic was part of the successful team in the | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
'60s. She says we're witnessing history. She is not Mohammed ally. | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
She is not going to voice being the greatest of old time. However we can | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
say she is the great e of all time today. There may be more in the | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
future but at the moment we have never seen anyonemore gifted. Last | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
night on the beam she proved she was human afterall. That will be a | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
deduction. Putting her hands down with a technical fall, yet it was | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
still good enough for bronze, to go with the three golds. There are | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
seemingly no limits to the 258ents of the woman who can fly. Well, in | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
the next half hour she goes for the fourth gold in the floor. Arguably | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
her best event. Her difficult any tariff is so much higher than her | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
competitors she already has a head start. So, if all goes well, she | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
will win her fifth gold of the games at just 19. If you hadn't heard her | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
name before, you certainly have now. We almost matched the Rio | :26:24. | :26:40. | |
temperatures in Scotland today. It was here where we hit 27 through | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
this afternoon. Other parts of western UK warmer than yesterday as | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
well. And with the day that little bit warmer, night not as chilly. | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
Most have a fine day. A few mist and fog patches across the east. The | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
chance of one or two showers and maybe the odd rumble of thunder in | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
Northern Ireland. Temperatures holding up into the teens in cities. | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
You wake up to Wednesday on another sunny start for the vast majority of | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
the UK. . For many it'll stay that way but a few exceptions. Northern | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
Ireland, morning sunshine gives way to outbreaks of rain and by the end | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
of the afternoon a few showers in the west of Scotland. The odd rumble | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
of thirned with. 27 in the East Midlands, 25, maybe 26 again in | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
Highland Scotland. A lovely evening will follow but rain until Northern | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
Ireland tomorrow evening tomorrow night and turning wet for a time in | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
Wales and across southern counties of England. The odd rumble of | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
thunder with that. Into Thursday morning, the rumble storms dissipate | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
and may give a welcome drink to gardens into southern England before | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
showers fade. For most again on Thursday, a predom in factually dry | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
day. Not as warm, getting cooler but enjoy the dry, sunny weather whilst | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
you have t on Friday better drier weather will be northern Scotland. | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
Eastern areas dry and bright. Wet and windy weather arriving in the | :28:02. | :28:03. | |
south-west. Sunshine and showers later. If you are spending the | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
weekend under canvass, look away now. Big unseasonally detail of low | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
pressure set to push in. On Saturday rainfall amounts will vary | :28:14. | :28:15. | |
drastically from one place to the other. A case of heavy thundery | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
showers. Of more concern for outdoor events could be the wind, | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
potentially touching galeforce in England and Wales. | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
You need to go away and do something about that. Change it. | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
A reminder of the main story this evening: Am gem Chowdhury, Britain's | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
most high-profile Islamist preacher has been convicted of inviting | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
support for so-called Islamic state. -- | :28:42. | :28:42. |
