:01:44. > :01:47.Team GB have arrived home to a heros' welcome.
:01:48. > :01:50.They touched down at Heathrow this morning along
:01:51. > :01:54.with their record-breaking medal haul from the Rio Olympics.
:01:55. > :01:58.67 medals in all, 27 of them gold - the most Team GB have won

:02:27. > :02:41.# Happy and glorious... The Games may be over but on board
:02:42. > :02:45.the Olympic party had continued. The 11-hour flight plenty of time to
:02:46. > :02:49.celebrate. # God save our Queen...
:02:50. > :02:55.And plenty of time for Max Whitlock to show off some of the skills that
:02:56. > :03:00.brought him double gold. These are moments to cherish for Team GB.
:03:01. > :03:06.They are a team that took on the world and won.
:03:07. > :03:10.You sense this is going to take a while to sink in for Britain's
:03:11. > :03:16.athletes. They return home having made history in Rio. A record 67
:03:17. > :03:21.medals, two more than London 2012. It's success that's created a host
:03:22. > :03:25.of new stars. After winning the hearts of the
:03:26. > :03:29.country, today they returned to their loved ones.
:03:30. > :03:35.Don't cry! It's heavy. It is heavy, grandma.
:03:36. > :03:37.There was much to catch up on, once they found the right bag. Team
:03:38. > :03:41.colours had made that a little tricky. On social media we could
:03:42. > :03:45.feel how much support there was. It's not until you get back here how
:03:46. > :03:51.much we really have, it's good to be here. Adam Peaty takes Olympic
:03:52. > :03:55.gold... It was a superb team performance sparked by one man, Adam
:03:56. > :03:59.Peaty. The swimmer who won Britain's first medal of the Games and in some
:04:00. > :04:04.style. He told me today he still is coming to terms with all he has
:04:05. > :04:09.achieved. I bt can't really put it into words how much it meant to get
:04:10. > :04:12.the first medal and the record and achieve a childhood dream. To give
:04:13. > :04:15.that momentum to the rest of the team is priceless and it's something
:04:16. > :04:21.I will remember forever. Hopefully we can do the same in Tokyo, which
:04:22. > :04:25.will be again amazing, hopefully an amazing Games. Even for more
:04:26. > :04:29.experienced heads it was an Olympics of firsts. Katherine Grainger won
:04:30. > :04:32.silver to become the first British woman to claim five medals in
:04:33. > :04:37.separate Games but this one for the team as a whole was special. That
:04:38. > :04:41.excitement, you could feel, it was tangible that suddenly people were
:04:42. > :04:45.like this performance will make difference to the nation. I think
:04:46. > :04:48.for that reason because it was unexpected and it was a challenge no
:04:49. > :04:53.nation has ever done and we finished second in the table. Sandwiched
:04:54. > :05:01.between the super powers of USA and China, it's hard to argue it's not
:05:02. > :05:04.our best Games ever. For many of these returning athletes
:05:05. > :05:07.their looifs will are changed forever by their success in Rio. --
:05:08. > :05:11.lives although some things are more precious than gold.
:05:12. > :05:13.Well, I have one of those Olympic champions with me now,
:05:14. > :05:16.who won her second successive gold medal in the women's coxless pairs.
:05:17. > :05:22.Helen Glover. Wonderful to see you.
:05:23. > :05:25.Congratulations. What was it like, that moment stepping off the plane
:05:26. > :05:32.today? It was amazing. We all had been in a Rio bubble, not knowing
:05:33. > :05:38.what was going on back heap -- back home. Everybody's draw jaws dropped
:05:39. > :05:42.when we looked out the window. That was scratching the surface of the
:05:43. > :05:47.last few hours. It's been a whirlwind. Millions and millions of
:05:48. > :05:50.people have been glued to televisions for weeks now and you
:05:51. > :05:55.really - did you not have a sense of that? Family and friends told us
:05:56. > :05:58.people were watching and getting interested at home but your mum
:05:59. > :06:05.tells you that and you are like, thanks, mum! It's a nice thing to
:06:06. > :06:10.say. But it's true. We can't believe it. We are so grateful because we
:06:11. > :06:13.are bringing our medals home. We are bringing these to the people who
:06:14. > :06:19.have been watching us to say thank you. Their support just makes it so
:06:20. > :06:23.much more special. Extraordinary after London 2012, when we had a
:06:24. > :06:26.huge medal haul, 65 medals and now you come back with even more. Did
:06:27. > :06:35.you imagine as a team you would be able to do that? It's amazing. I
:06:36. > :06:37.mean, I am a tiny cog in this machine that's produced one of our
:06:38. > :06:43.best teams that's existed. It's incredible. Every time we watched
:06:44. > :06:46.our teammates get medals we cheered and saw ourselves climbing up the
:06:47. > :06:49.table and it was getting more excited and more real and to finish
:06:50. > :06:55.where we did on the table, I think we are so proud of being part of an
:06:56. > :06:58.amazing team. You have arrived back in this whirlwind, are you able to
:06:59. > :07:03.catch your breath and think what next? What next for you? For me I am
:07:04. > :07:08.getting married! More celebrations ahead. More champagne in the next
:07:09. > :07:12.couple of weeks. Then for me a bit of real life to decide what's going
:07:13. > :07:15.to happen. So, four years is a long time to commit and right now we are
:07:16. > :07:18.thinking about the highs but you forget in the winter months when you
:07:19. > :07:22.are doing the training how many times you say why do I do this? You
:07:23. > :07:25.know, you need to answer those questions now and know what you are
:07:26. > :07:29.going into. I will make a decision. You have the answer around your neck
:07:30. > :07:33.right now. Lovely to see you. I have to say that you are not the only
:07:34. > :07:40.Olympian in our studio. The studio is full!
:07:41. > :07:43.Wonderful to see so many of you here.
:07:44. > :07:46.The reason they are all here is that they are about to
:07:47. > :07:51.So do tune in at 7.00pm here on BBC1 - when you won't just see them -
:07:52. > :08:07.What began with the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, being filmed sitting
:08:08. > :08:09.on the floor of a train complaining about overcrowding, has turned
:08:10. > :08:12.into a dispute with Virgin Trains about whether seats
:08:13. > :08:15.The Labour leader was travelling from London to Newcastle
:08:16. > :08:19.Now Virgin has released CCTV footage appearing
:08:20. > :08:25.Our political correspondent Ben Wright reports.
:08:26. > :08:31.Crouching on the floor of a Virgin train this was Jeremy Corbyn's
:08:32. > :08:35.claim. Today this train is completely packed. The staff on the
:08:36. > :08:38.train are absolutely brilliant, working really hard to help
:08:39. > :08:43.everybody. The reality is there is not enough trains. We need more of
:08:44. > :08:50.them. They're also incredibly expensive. Isn't that a good case
:08:51. > :08:55.for... The video was recorded on the 11.00am departure from London to
:08:56. > :08:59.Newcastle on August 11th. Days later Jeremy Corbyn's family ammed
:09:00. > :09:03.complaint was released. Now Virgin trains has hit back releasing
:09:04. > :09:09.pictures the company says shows there was seats available. According
:09:10. > :09:12.to Virgin trains seven minutes into the journey Jeremy Corbyn walked
:09:13. > :09:17.past several unreserved seats. He also walked past a number of
:09:18. > :09:21.reserved but empty seats a minute later. Then MrCorbyn returned to
:09:22. > :09:25.coach H with the help of on board crew and took a seat but according
:09:26. > :09:29.to the company that was after he had walked to the end of the train, sat
:09:30. > :09:34.on the floor and recorded his video. In a statement from Virgin Trains
:09:35. > :09:38.the company said: We have to take issue with the idea that MrCorbyn
:09:39. > :09:41.wasn't able to be seated on the service as this clearly wasn't the
:09:42. > :09:43.case. We would encourage Jeremy to book ahead next time he travels with
:09:44. > :09:48.us. The company said it know it is can
:09:49. > :09:52.be hard to find seats on its eastern West Coast services and Jeremy
:09:53. > :09:56.Corbyn is not the first commuter to complain of overcrowding. But it's
:09:57. > :10:00.the suggestion of deception to make a political point that could be
:10:01. > :10:06.damaging. Jeremy Corbyn, champion of a nationalised railway is being
:10:07. > :10:10.taken to task by a private train operator but MrCorbyn's team insist
:10:11. > :10:12.it's virgin trains who got this wrong and when they first boarded
:10:13. > :10:16.there were no free unreserved seats available so they, like other
:10:17. > :10:22.passengers, had to wait for some to become free. This was, they said, a
:10:23. > :10:25.ram-packed train. You can't see on the images necessarily is the fact
:10:26. > :10:29.that there was luggage reserving seats or small children you might
:10:30. > :10:34.not be able to see sitting there. I was there. There was simply no seats
:10:35. > :10:37.available on the train that's why Jeremy sat on the floor for the
:10:38. > :10:41.first part of the journey. Owen Smith tried to make mileage out of
:10:42. > :10:43.this train row saying his own campaign remained on track. Ben
:10:44. > :10:48.Wright, BBC News, Westminster. Women who have children can be paid
:10:49. > :10:51.up to a third less than men That's according to new figures
:10:52. > :10:55.from the think tank the Institute It found that while the gender pay
:10:56. > :10:59.gap in general has been falling in recent years,
:11:00. > :11:01.mothers who take time out or work fewer hours miss out
:11:02. > :11:03.significantly on wage increases. Here's our economics
:11:04. > :11:14.editor Kamal Ahmed. The ups and major downs of the
:11:15. > :11:18.gender wage gap. Yes, it has been reducing over all, but for mothers
:11:19. > :11:22.and graduates there is still a significant pay penalty. In this
:11:23. > :11:26.London park opinions were clear. Having children presented major
:11:27. > :11:30.career challenges, ones that men often steer well clear of. Women
:11:31. > :11:33.struggle with the issue of having to be perfect mothers at home and then
:11:34. > :11:37.having to be perfect in their career. I have taken a pay cut
:11:38. > :11:43.because I changed my career and I have changed my hours. So, I don't
:11:44. > :11:50.think that's a gender issue. It's my choice. The gender wage gap has been
:11:51. > :11:54.declining. In 1993 there was a 28% difference in the hourly income of
:11:55. > :11:59.men and women. That is now 18%. But there are
:12:00. > :12:03.significant variations. For mothers the wage gap grows to 33% by the
:12:04. > :12:07.time the first child reaches 12 years old.
:12:08. > :12:11.What happens when women reduce their hours of paid work, for whatever
:12:12. > :12:15.reason at that point a lot of them find that wage progression shuts
:12:16. > :12:18.down. That could be because they're genuinely not gathering the skills
:12:19. > :12:22.and experience that employers value in their jobs. It could be something
:12:23. > :12:26.to do with a form of discrimination or power that employers are
:12:27. > :12:33.exercising over those women in holding down their wages.
:12:34. > :12:38.The workplace has certainly changed since the 1940s. But the persistent
:12:39. > :12:42.wage gap is still with us. Before a family arrives there is already a
:12:43. > :12:45.10% difference in income. Some people argue at least part of the
:12:46. > :12:50.gender pay gap is down to choice. Mothers making the decision to leave
:12:51. > :12:55.work to look after their children. But although that may partially be
:12:56. > :12:58.true, is it really a choice when child care is so prohibitively
:12:59. > :13:06.expensive for many? Is it a choice when flexible working is not valued
:13:07. > :13:09.as highly by many businesses as traditional 9-5 working is it really
:13:10. > :13:14.a choice that when women return to work they miss out on future
:13:15. > :13:19.promotions? We have about 750 employees, about... Laura runs a
:13:20. > :13:24.mother and child clothing firm. She encourages employees, men and women,
:13:25. > :13:29.to work flexible hours. And welcomes parents back to the office. If you
:13:30. > :13:32.have been a full-time parent or been working in a less demanding job for
:13:33. > :13:37.a few years whilst children are young, you still have a huge amount
:13:38. > :13:41.to offer and I am very keen on employing people who have had babies
:13:42. > :13:45.and are keen to come back to the workforce and progress. The
:13:46. > :13:49.Government says it is acting. Businesses will be forced to publish
:13:50. > :13:52.the pay rates for men and women. More shared parental leave is
:13:53. > :13:54.available but end the pay gap in a generation? That lofty target is
:13:55. > :13:59.still a long way from being hit. A soldier has died after being shot
:14:00. > :14:02.at a military training The man, from the Royal
:14:03. > :14:05.regiment of Scotland, was involved in a night exercise
:14:06. > :14:07.using live ammunition Police and the Ministry of Defence
:14:08. > :14:16.are investigating what happened. New research suggests the risk
:14:17. > :14:19.of developing breast cancer increases more than previously
:14:20. > :14:21.thought for women who take combined A study of almost 40,000 women,
:14:22. > :14:27.published in the British Journal of Cancer, found the risk increased
:14:28. > :14:30.the longer the drugs were used, but the risk level returned
:14:31. > :14:32.to normal when the HRT ended. Here's our medical
:14:33. > :14:44.correspondent Fergus Walsh. One million women in the UK are
:14:45. > :14:49.taking HRT either in tablets, gels or patches like Louise, to
:14:50. > :14:52.counterthe often debilitating symptoms of the menopause such as
:14:53. > :14:59.hot flushes, mood swings and insomnia. A GP, she runs a menopause
:15:00. > :15:02.clinic and for her the benefits greatly outweigh the risks. I
:15:03. > :15:06.couldn't function with my menopausal symptoms. I was horrified how tired
:15:07. > :15:09.I felt. How I was unable to concentrate. I kept saying to my
:15:10. > :15:14.husband, I feel like I have been drugged. I need to go to bed, I have
:15:15. > :15:17.so much work to do. What am I going to do? I didn't realise it was the
:15:18. > :15:20.menopause causing these symptoms. Taking any medication is a balance
:15:21. > :15:23.between risk and benefit but for HRT This research suggests that
:15:24. > :15:26.for every 1,000 women aged 50-54 who are not on HRT or are taking
:15:27. > :15:31.oestrogen only, there will be 14 cases of breast
:15:32. > :15:35.cancer over five years. But for every 1,000 taking combined
:15:36. > :15:39.HRT that would rise to 34 cases That increased risk returns
:15:40. > :15:48.to normal after stopping HRT. HRT also slightly increases the risk
:15:49. > :15:52.of ovarian cancer. But it's worth pointing out that
:15:53. > :15:55.lifestyle risk factors, such as being overweight
:15:56. > :15:57.and especially smoking, carry a much greater risk than HRT,
:15:58. > :16:14.of many cancers and premature death. I do not think women should suffer
:16:15. > :16:20.in silence. It is important to take some advice, talk to your GP and
:16:21. > :16:25.talk to your friends as well and get some support. A lot of people think
:16:26. > :16:29.it is the menopause and I have to put up with that, actually, there is
:16:30. > :16:35.a lot that you can do to minimise the impact. Last year the health
:16:36. > :16:40.watchdog said that HRT should not simply be dismissed because of the
:16:41. > :16:44.risks. Women using the drugs are usually advised to take the low
:16:45. > :16:49.worst affected dose for the shortest possible time.

:17:33. > :17:35.The BBC has learned that a badger cull in England is to be
:17:36. > :17:38.extended to five new areas - to try to stop bovine tuberculosis
:17:39. > :17:42.The cull is already in operation in three parts of the country.
:17:43. > :17:44.It's understood that the mass shooting of badgers will begin
:17:45. > :17:49.Our Environment Correspondent, Claire Marshall, is in
:17:50. > :18:02.Thank you. You can see how beautiful the landscape is. A dozen or so
:18:03. > :18:07.badgers roam here but around me there are dozens of farmers who have
:18:08. > :18:12.suffered terribly under TB. We have seen a map of the new cull zones.
:18:13. > :18:19.Marksmen have been trained and they could be in operation here and
:18:20. > :18:24.elsewhere as early as next week. The carrier off an infection that brings
:18:25. > :18:28.pain and misery to farmers and their cattle, or an iconic character of
:18:29. > :18:32.the countryside that need our protection? The dispute over the
:18:33. > :18:37.state-sponsored shooting of badgers has been reignited. Since the cull
:18:38. > :18:44.began, close to 4000 badgers have been killed. In the last year alone,
:18:45. > :18:50.nearly 30,000 cattle infected with bovine TB had to be slaughtered. At
:18:51. > :18:55.the moment, the cull is operating in Gloucester, Somerset and Dorset. The
:18:56. > :18:59.BBC has learned that it is to be extended into new zones, south of
:19:00. > :19:04.North Devon, West Dorset and parts of Cornwall and South Herefordshire.
:19:05. > :19:08.Conservationists are disappointed and they had hoped that the policy
:19:09. > :19:14.would be dropped under the new Prime Minister. It is a disaster for
:19:15. > :19:25.wildlife. This is political, it is nothing to do with bovine TB. There
:19:26. > :19:28.is so much science saying that the cull will not work, evidence says it
:19:29. > :19:30.is not working and it will not work in the future and we are wasting
:19:31. > :19:32.huge amounts of money on what is indiscriminate killing of a
:19:33. > :19:38.protected species of British wildlife. In the south, this farmer
:19:39. > :19:47.has lost over 100 cattle to bovine TB over the years. We have got to
:19:48. > :19:49.get back to managing this. No other country has controlled bovine TB
:19:50. > :19:54.without controlling the wildlife sector. It is not just badgers,
:19:55. > :19:59.bovine TB can be transmitted in many ways, cattle to cattle, via other
:20:00. > :20:05.mammals and it can also remain in the mat -- in the ground through
:20:06. > :20:10.animal faeces. This process -- Professor's research underpins the
:20:11. > :20:16.research. This will be welcome news but it should not be. A previous
:20:17. > :20:22.study I was involved in killed nearly 11,000 badgers to learn what
:20:23. > :20:27.the effects are. My concerns about killing badgers do not come from a
:20:28. > :20:33.love of badgers, they come from cold hard science. Born 20 minutes ago on
:20:34. > :20:38.Andrew's farm, this calf has not taken a step, both sides want to see
:20:39. > :20:41.a solution. No one wants animals to suffer, but is culling the way to do

:25:21. > :25:30.Usually, I should have started the whole show with my joke about the

:25:36. > :25:39.months and save up to come to the Edinburgh Fringe. I take about three

:27:08. > :27:14.If that is too hard, the beach is a good place to be. We have a few

:28:10. > :28:14.Wales but ahead of the weather front, still hot and humid and we
:28:15. > :28:19.could get over 30 degrees and the heat and humidity is likely to
:28:20. > :28:33.trigger more thunderstorms tomorrow, particularly
:28:34. > :28:36.overnight and into Thursday across parts of England and Wales.
