:03:16. > :03:19.Now for the next part, a 40k bike ride.
:03:20. > :03:22.The Brownlees were soon in a leading pack of ten riders,

:04:04. > :04:06.In the last couple of weeks we have been training,
:04:07. > :04:09.me, Jonny, Varg, commit, commit, commit, and we committed and the gap
:04:10. > :04:15.went up as soon as we were half way through.
:04:16. > :04:19.We had a good gap, I was like - we are going to get two medals here.
:04:20. > :04:31.The fabulous Brownlee boys, once again on top of the world.
:04:32. > :04:34.And there was more success for Team GB, as Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark
:04:35. > :04:37.got their gold in the sailing, and there were further medals
:04:38. > :04:44.Natalie Pirks has been watching the action.
:04:45. > :04:52.Good things come to those who wait, after a 24 hours delay Hannah Mills
:04:53. > :04:59.and Saskia Clark finally completed their victory lap to secure gold in
:05:00. > :05:03.the 470 sailing category, they were forced into an overnight wait when
:05:04. > :05:14.low winds cancel their final race but it was worth it. It was fast, it
:05:15. > :05:19.was frenetic, it was a photo finish. Great Britain's Liam Heath and John
:05:20. > :05:24.sow field used every ounce of energy in the men's kayak double final.
:05:25. > :05:28.With Spain going for gold, the British pair literally lunged for
:05:29. > :05:34.the line to beat Lithuania to sill very, by the tiniest of margin, just
:05:35. > :05:39.0.03 seconds, that is an improvement on their bronze from London. Talk
:05:40. > :05:43.about cutting it fine though. So satisfying, I mean it has been
:05:44. > :05:48.killing me in training. I did want to let him down, he is the best guy
:05:49. > :05:53.out there. They were a better crew than us today but to get it is
:05:54. > :05:57.amazing. There this has been an Olympics of first for so many sports
:05:58. > :06:03.and today British badminton won their first men's doubles medal.
:06:04. > :06:07.Chris and Marcus took bronze and look what it meant to them and their
:06:08. > :06:11.families. A double celebration for Team GB too as it was China they
:06:12. > :06:17.defeated. That will help the medal table battle no end. Jamaica's
:06:18. > :06:20.sprint dominance shows no sign of stopping, Elaine Thompson did the
:06:21. > :06:27.double last night winning the women's 200 metres to add to her 100
:06:28. > :06:35.metre win. It is took a while for it to sink in. Britain's Diana Asha
:06:36. > :06:40.Smith came first in her --. This bizarre scenario came out of know
:06:41. > :06:43.where. The US reigning him become champion had a disastrous second
:06:44. > :06:50.change over in the relay heats. Oh no. Oh, there is a disaster
:06:51. > :06:54.there. Allyson Felix was obstructed and enend up chucking the baton at
:06:55. > :06:59.her team-mate. But they have had a a previous. They will rerun the race
:07:00. > :07:04.alone and will be in the final if they beat China's time of 42.7
:07:05. > :07:09.seconds. Tie gone means the way of the feet
:07:10. > :07:14.and hands which sounds generale. Not the way Jade Jones does it. She goes
:07:15. > :07:19.up. Brilliant. The reigning Olympic champion is safely through to the
:07:20. > :07:21.quarterfinal, after a 12-4 victory over the Moroccan. She fights again
:07:22. > :07:26.in just over an hour. Well, today's successes have brought
:07:27. > :07:29.Team GB's medal tally up to 55, leaving them second in the table,
:07:30. > :07:31.with America still on top. Let's go now to our
:07:32. > :07:33.sports editor Dan Roan. Dan, there's been some great success
:07:34. > :07:49.stories, but the Games aren't Yes, no shortage of controversy this
:07:50. > :07:53.these last two weeks at the games but the most curious has been the
:07:54. > :07:58.strange tail of what may or may not have happened during a night out by
:07:59. > :08:02.the four United States swimmers including Ryan Lochte last weekend.
:08:03. > :08:07.Now the four claimed they had been the victims of an armed robbery on
:08:08. > :08:10.Sunday morning as they came home in taxi to the Athletes' Village but
:08:11. > :08:17.police sources have told the BBC they believe that story to have been
:08:18. > :08:21.fabricated, to cover up an alleged altercation at a petrol stairs which
:08:22. > :08:25.the taxi stopped off at on the way home. Video footage appeared to be
:08:26. > :08:30.the swimmers being prevented from leaving that petrol station, two of
:08:31. > :08:34.the swimmers were prevented from going home. They were taken off a
:08:35. > :08:37.plane at Rio airport. They and a third swimmer will talk to police
:08:38. > :08:42.authorities today. Lochte is at home. It is indicative of a host
:08:43. > :08:48.city that is sensitive to how it is portrayed to the outside world.
:08:49. > :08:52.Meanwhile Team GB have told athletes to be careful about going out for
:08:53. > :08:56.fear of being targeted. One athletes has been the victim of theft and no
:08:57. > :09:00.shortage of controversy, the concern being towards the end of the games
:09:01. > :09:03.that is when athletes could be most vulnerable.
:09:04. > :09:06.A video of a five-year-old boy, sitting bloodied and dazed
:09:07. > :09:09.in the back of an ambulance after an air strike in Syria,
:09:10. > :09:12.The little boy is a victim of the escalation in fighting
:09:13. > :09:15.between government and rebel forces in the city of Aleppo.
:09:16. > :09:17.The UN Special Envoy for Syria angrily condemned all parties
:09:18. > :09:20.involved in the conflict, saying not one aid convoy has been
:09:21. > :09:22.allowed to reach besieged cities in Syria for a month.
:09:23. > :09:35.Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet reports.
:09:36. > :09:41.Another air strike on a home in east Aleppo.
:09:42. > :09:45.Russian or Syrian warplanes attack this rebel held area almost every
:09:46. > :09:51.day now. This time, a little boy is rescued
:09:52. > :09:56.from the rubble. Emergency teams rush him into an ambulance. Then,
:09:57. > :10:02.for a moment he sits, in silence, in shock, on his own.
:10:03. > :10:06.We are told his name is Omran, when you are only five, it is hard to
:10:07. > :10:13.grasp what has woken you up in the middle of the night.
:10:14. > :10:17.This film provided by activists in Aleppo shot round the world,
:10:18. > :10:24.striking a cord with a world grown weary of Syria's plight.
:10:25. > :10:29.Aleppo, Syria's second city has been at war since Omran was born.
:10:30. > :10:33.Now it is the focus of intense fighting.
:10:34. > :10:39.Despite pleas for a ceasefire, to allow aid to reach millions across
:10:40. > :10:44.Syria, trapped by this violence. In Geneva today, a UN envoy known
:10:45. > :10:56.for his patient diplomacy reached his limit. Not one single convoy in
:10:57. > :11:01.one month has reached any of the humanitarian besieged areas. Not one
:11:02. > :11:09.single convoy. And why? Because one thing,
:11:10. > :11:13.fighting. The priority is clearly at the moment at least from what we see
:11:14. > :11:19.is fighting. Now, aid deliveries like this may
:11:20. > :11:23.become possible across Aleppo after Russia's announcement of a 48-hour
:11:24. > :11:27.truce next week. This food was recently delivered in an area under
:11:28. > :11:34.Government control. Russia has started to propose those
:11:35. > :11:38.pauses, and they need to be followed, although by everybody who
:11:39. > :11:42.is carrier of arms, because there is no point in having one side
:11:43. > :11:49.respecting a pause if there is not a general agreement.
:11:50. > :11:53.Today, one little boy's plight symbolises the suffering of Syria,
:11:54. > :11:58.millions of children just like Omran live this kind of life. What Syria
:11:59. > :12:00.needs is an end to war and it is nowhere in sight.
:12:01. > :12:05.Hundreds of thousands of sixth formers in England,
:12:06. > :12:07.Wales and Northern Ireland have received their A level
:12:08. > :12:10.Record numbers of students have been offered university places,
:12:11. > :12:12.but there was a marginal fall in top grades.
:12:13. > :12:13.Overall, girls are still outperforming boys,
:12:14. > :12:17.Our education editor, Branwen Jeffreys, is at
:12:18. > :12:24.the University of Manchester and can tell us more.
:12:25. > :12:30.The phone lines here have closed but they will be open in the morning and
:12:31. > :12:34.right through the weekend. There are around 40,000 places available
:12:35. > :12:38.through clearing this year, at the University of Manchester and many
:12:39. > :12:43.other places, 40 thousand thourss I mean. But, what really matters today
:12:44. > :12:48.is the experience of the student, and some of them have been sharing
:12:49. > :12:53.their stories with the BBC. I got a U and a daft I know that is
:12:54. > :13:00.not a great example, like, oh my God. Oh, oh no. We can leave this
:13:01. > :13:04.school for good. In saint Helens some could hardly
:13:05. > :13:09.believe their grades. Some were ready to party, others needed advice
:13:10. > :13:13.about going through clearing. A report number of students have their
:13:14. > :13:18.university places and many more will find one in the next few days, this
:13:19. > :13:22.is the last year in England they can go to university without facing
:13:23. > :13:28.another increase in tuition fees. And faces with the cost, some will
:13:29. > :13:32.be looking at alternatives. Emma has just started an
:13:33. > :13:36.apprenticeship. Matthew is heading to Cambridge University and Georgia
:13:37. > :13:40.to a drama school, for all of them the results matter. ?
:13:41. > :13:44.I think it is becoming more pressured I know my group of friends
:13:45. > :13:49.were really uncomfortable worrying about results and university places.
:13:50. > :13:54.I was fed up of the education, like being in a classroom. I wanted to
:13:55. > :14:01.earn while I am learning. Just the cost of a degree bother you? It
:14:02. > :14:05.makes me nervous but when you are in, it is not bad because you only
:14:06. > :14:09.start paying it back when you eastern a certain amount. The
:14:10. > :14:15.overall pass rate this year was stable. 98.1% in England, but at
:14:16. > :14:21.97.3% Wales has fallen a little behind. The highest at 98.2%
:14:22. > :14:26.Northern Ireland. Some students here are choosing
:14:27. > :14:32.apprenticeships instead of degrees. There is a large pressure from some
:14:33. > :14:35.families to try to avoid their sons or daughter building up loan, I
:14:36. > :14:40.think that is part of it and I think it is that guarantee of employment
:14:41. > :14:45.at the end of it really that makes a huge difference obviously.
:14:46. > :14:49.At Manchester the last places for medicine went in minutes this
:14:50. > :14:51.morning, in clearing. But students are advised not to rush their
:14:52. > :14:55.choices. I think the first thing is not to
:14:56. > :14:59.panic, I think the most important thing for young people is to think
:15:00. > :15:03.about the course think want to study and they may think they want to go
:15:04. > :15:06.university now but they may want to take a break, a year to think that
:15:07. > :15:10.threw and think about what courses to do.
:15:11. > :15:14.Students are borrowing more and expect more. In future their fees
:15:15. > :15:18.could be linked to the quality of teaching. And just as importantly,
:15:19. > :15:20.their job Just a reminder that if you're
:15:21. > :15:29.a student and you didn't get the results you were hoping for,
:15:30. > :15:32.or if you're a parent and you want more information,

:18:27. > :18:30.We need to be brave and we need to start making the difference
:18:31. > :18:37.For the kids here, it all seems to be working.
:18:38. > :18:42.I've been more a lot more active since I've come.

:19:13. > :19:19.They are doing something right in Wigan but there has been criticism
:19:20. > :19:25.of the Government's new strategy. Even the boss of Sainsbury's duct
:19:26. > :19:28.think it has gone far enough. Normally companies don't like
:19:29. > :19:31.regulations but the boss of Sainsbury's doesn't think it goes
:19:32. > :19:36.far enough, he thinks there should be compulsory regulation of sugar
:19:37. > :19:38.and drink product and there has been widespread criticism across the
:19:39. > :19:45.health world although some say at least it is a start along with the
:19:46. > :19:51.sugar tax. The most eye-catching crit civil has come from Sarah
