Evidence tonight of a shocking rise in the number of people unable | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
to leave hospitals in England, because of a crisis in social care. | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
There's been an 80% rise in two years, in those | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
spending longer in hospital, because of delays in getting people | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Down in our emergency department there are patients that have been | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
medically seen and need to be admitted but can't be admitted | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
because there is no bed for them to go to yet. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
The cost to the NHS of older people needlessly staying in hospital, | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
After assurances from foreign backers, Theresa May gives | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
light for a new nuclear power plant, at Hinkley Point in Somerset. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
It will provide 7% of the UK's electricity needs, giving secure | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
energy to six million homes for 60 years. | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
The sports student left brain damaged and paralysed, | :00:58. | :00:58. | |
It's a brighter than expected outlook for the economy. | :00:59. | :01:06. | |

tomorrow's Davis Cup tie, in what's a repeat of the Olympic final. | :01:23. | :01:47. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
We have more evidence tonight of the chronic problems affecting | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
There's been a shocking rise in the number of people | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
waiting to leave hospitals, because the support they need | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
at home isn't available. NHS England says in July,more | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
than 61,000 extra days were spent in hospital, | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
because of delays in providing social care - that's | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
And the burden on the NHS in England is enormous. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
It's estimated it spends ?820 million a year on older | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
patients, who don't need to be in hospital. | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
A report by health experts today says its evidence of | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt has spent a day | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
at the Royal Liverpool Hospital and has this special report. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Just a warning, it contains flashing images. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
It's 9.00 in the morning and the Royal Liverpool Hospital | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
In Accident Emergency, patients needing immediate treatment | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
At the minute, the A department is full. | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
Each of these red dots represents someone who has been waiting | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
for more than four hours, breaching Government targets. | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
One patient has been here 18 hours, ready to be moved to a ward. | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
You must be really frustrated with that. | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
Rather full downstairs, with over a ward of patients, | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
we need to get them moved as soon as possible. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Upstairs, senior staff are trying to free up beds for the new patients | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
needing operations or emergency treatment. | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
There is no trolley space in resus, we have two patients waiting | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
Have we got any patients identified that can move? | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
Yes, there is three or four in there that could move out. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
We have no urgency in the departments to move them out to. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
They have more than one hundred patients who are ready to leave | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
hospital but can't because of delays in getting home care, residential | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Surgery can't start this morning until we have identified a bed | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
for someone to return to after theatre. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
86-year-old Derek Chinn is one of the patients who will go | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
He has been on the specialist stroke ward while waiting for extra home | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
This was the only bed available to doctors, even though he had | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Essentially, it is a very expensive residential home bed. | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
He isn't the problem, it is the system preventing us | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
from discharging people appropriately, which means the acute | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
patients who have a need for the beds are being delayed | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
On another ward, Camille has been waiting 72 days to leave | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
the hospital, but the council is struggling to find a care | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
provider that can support her at home, four times a day. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
They should do more to get people back into the community. | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
You don't really want to be here, do you? | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
An increasing number of hospitals in England face these pressures. | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
More and more cuts are expected from us. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
In Liverpool, the man who runs the council's social care says | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
they are struggling with budget cuts and staff shortages. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
We are seeing more people with high demands for health | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
People are living longer, which is great. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
We celebrate it, but we don't have the services out | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
This sounds like a system at breaking point. | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
It is, and that is what keeps me awake at night. | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
The Government says it is making significantly more money | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
available to social care, to ensure affordable, | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
It is 5.00, and back in A at the Royal, there is no let up | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
At this point, they don't want us filming inside. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
For a short period of time, they had to divert ambulances | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
They have nine people on trolleys in the corridor, and there | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
are no resuscitation beds available at the moment. | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Upstairs, at the latest operations meeting, | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
The emergency department is now on the highest | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
It means as they head into the evening, they will begin | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
the search for people who can sent home safely all over again. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
You can find out the cost of care in your area | :06:27. | :06:39. | |
by using the BBC's online guide. Enter your postcode, local council | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
name or Northern Ireland health board, and discover the cost | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
of an hour of homecare, and information about residential | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Theresa May has given the green light for Britain's first | :06:47. | :06:59. | |
At a cost of ?18 billion, the reactor, Hinkley Point C | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
in Somerset, will be built by the French company | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
EDF, with significant investment from China. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
The Government was expected to finalise the deal two months ago, | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
but wanted assurances on financing and security. | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
Supporters say the plant is vital to reducing Britain's reliance | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
on fossil fuels, but critics argue the deal is a bad one for consumers. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Here's our political editor Laura Kuenssberg. | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
DF. In EDF. With were they really going to stop the engines? Drive the | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
diggers Jay? And give up on years of preparation, chuck away millions | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
already spent? Statement the Secretary of State for business, | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
energy and industrial strategy. Ministers did pause, but are now | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
pressing go. Hinkley unleashes a long overdue new wave of investment | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
in nuclear engineering in the UK, creating 26,000 job, and | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
apprenticeships, providing a huge boost to the economy. Under the ?18 | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
billion deal the new react for should be running by 2025. The | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
Chinese plan to build another new nuclear plant at Bradwell in Essex. | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
The Government will take a special share in that and any future project | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
that's will give them control over important infrastructure being | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
bought or sold. The deal was first signed last year, | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
amid a welcome for the Chinese leader, that could hardly have been | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
more lavish. There were nerves round Westminster about the huge cost, | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
security and the environment, but Chinese involvement in new nuclear | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
projects was applauded at the top. But with a change of the boss, a | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
change of heart, and to Chinese fury one of Theresa May's first acts was | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
to delay the decision to pore of the details again. I have commented on | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
it. Brave or fool harry? Mr Speaker the Government created a commercial | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
crisis, they sent shock waves through the industry and unions | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
alike, they risked a diplomatic dispute with one of our key future | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
trading partners and in the end all they have done is pretend to give | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
themselves powers, which they already possessed. Ministers say | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
they will be an important new framework to check up on all big | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
projects, the hope Hinkley will help keep the lightses on. The risk is I | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
don't know November shall and ex pension. -- controversial. What was | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
the delay about? When Theresa May moved into Number Ten, the National | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
Security Council had already reviewed the deal, the terms had | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
already been agreed. Those close that the stage tell me there is no | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
fundamental difference between now and then, but imagine she had gone | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
ahead straightaway? The brand-new Prime Minister would have been | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
waving through one of the most controversial deals in history, | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
barely a fortnight into the job. There is is no difference, and one | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
has to wonder that Britain's paid a very high diplomatic price and a | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
price in terms of high cost of investment, was it worth it? Now | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
there is official go ahead the next stage on the ground can start. But | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
no project like this has been completed before. All the fuss, all | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
the political hopes for Hinkley could yet turn to dust. | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
So is the deal for Hinkley C good for the economy and good | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Our business editor Simon Jack has been finding out. | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
Off the drawing board and into reality. Today was heralded as the | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
renaissance of UK nuclear, but in truth it has been a protracted and | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
difficult rebirth but one to be celebrated according to its proud | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
French parent. It's great news for the customer, it is a big boost for | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
the UK industry, it is a great step in the fight against climate change. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
It is not just good news for the French builders and their Chinese | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
partners, the benefits of this project will be felt in the economy | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
locally, and nationally. We are really pleased that the jobs which | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
were promised over 25,000 over its lifetime, 500 new apprentices and | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
plenty of jobs within the supply chain. The Government clearly feels | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
the political and economic case has been made, but does that make it a | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
good idea? Is it value for money? Now if it is delivered on budget, it | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
will cost that figure of ?18 billion, making it the most | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
expensive power plant if history. The good news is that EDF and their | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Chinese partners have paying that cost up front, but only because the | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
Government has agreed to guarantee them a price of ?92.50 per unit. | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
That compares to the current price of ?43. Now depending on the | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
electricity price, that equates to a subsidy of between 10 and ?20 per | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
household per year added to energy bill, when complete, it will | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
contribute 7% of the UK's total electricity needs. But that is not | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
enough to convince the project's critics. What we need to be doing | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
now is investing in the renewables, in wind, which is available | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
offshore, wind, cheaper than Hinkley will be. We need to invest in solar | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
so people can have this on the roofs of their house, put that together | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
with batteries and they could be getting revenues as well as bills. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
But when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine you can have a | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
problem which leads to shortfalls like yesterday when prices rocketed | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
to twice the cost of electricity. The price spike has drawn attention | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
to how narrow our supply margin is at the moment. And that is the | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
reason behind the Government's thinking for the capacity market, | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
and also subsidising Hinkley. If you thought hengely was | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
controversial, wait for Bradwell, where the Chinese have been promised | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
they can design, build and operate their own react for on British soil. | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
The Bank of England says the short-term economic impact | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
of Brexit isn't as bad as first feared. | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
It's predicting growth for the third quarter of this year will be | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed is in the City for us this evening. | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
Significant of course this is coming from the Bank of England? | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
Absolutely, I don't think the Bank of England thinks the UK economy is | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
quite out of the woods yet but certainly since the referendum vote | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
there has been this run of better than expected economic news on | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
employment, on retail sale, on housing, and on consumer confidence. | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
What does that mean for two very big decisions that are coming up? First, | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
on interest rates, of course you will remember the Bank of England | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
has already cut interest rates once since the referendum vote, and many | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
people think that is the reason the economy is performing better than | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
many expected. It suggested it was going to cut them possibly again, to | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
an historic low, that is probably less likely now, although the bank | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
has made it clear it is still cautious about 2017 and economic | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
performance. Of course, we haven't left the European Union yet, and | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
also there hasn't been that much information on how the economy is | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
performing. Second big issue the Autumn Statement. In November, that | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
is Philip Hammond the new Chancellor's first chance to say | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
what he wants to do about the economy on tax and spending. He said | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
he would act if the economy is weak, the figures today will take some of | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
that pressure off the Government. Thank you. | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
Five police officers face possible criminal charges, | :14:55. | :14:55. | |
while being restrained outside a nightclub in Bedford. | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
Julian Cole suffered severe brain damage during an arrest in 2013. | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw reports. | :15:03. | :15:12. | |
She comes here every day to be with her son. | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Julian Cole is in a residential nursing home | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
and needs round-the-clock care for the rest of his life. | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
The 23-year-old is severely brain damaged and paralysed, | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
barely aware of what's going on around him. | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
But the devotion of his mum, Claudia, is clear to see. | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
Some people with the same injury, they never survive. | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
A talented athlete and football fan, Julian was studying for a degree | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
in sports science and had ambitions to be a coach or PE teacher. | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
But that all changed after a night out in Bedford in May 2013. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Julian was arrested and restrained outside a club | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
during an incident involving bouncers and police. | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
He broke his neck, suffering a severe injury to his spinal chord. | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
But instead of being taken straight to hospital, the young student was | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
put in a police van and brought here to a police station in Bedford. | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
It was then that an ambulance was called. | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
Since that night, the actions of the five officers involved | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
They're all facing the possibility of criminal charges. | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
Disciplinary proceedings could also be brought for alleged gross | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
misconduct over how they carried out their duties and responsibilities. | :16:31. | :16:39. | |
And now, for Julian Cole's family, there's the prospect of finding out | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
what happened on the night he was so badly injured. | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
No matter whatever they did to him, it won't bring him back. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
It's thought prosecutors will take some months | :16:56. | :17:09. | |
In the meantime, Claudia will carry on caring for her son, | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
Evidence of a shocking rise in the number of people unable to leave | :17:14. | :17:28. | |
hospitals in England because of a crisis in social care. And away from | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
the Paralympics life for the disabled children of Rio. | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
Manchester United's Europa League campaign is already | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
underway against Feyenoord in the Netherlands, | :17:40. | :17:40. | |
with Southampton the other British representative. | :17:41. | :17:41. | |
One of the world's leading education experts, has criticised | :17:42. | :17:57. | |
the government's new plans for grammar schools in England. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
Andreas Schleicher of the Organisation of Economic | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
Co-operation and Development, says their importance is dramatically | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
overplayed, and academic selection could encourage 'social selection'. | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
Here's our education editor Branwen Jeffreys. | :18:07. | :18:16. | |
Put yourself a little side heading, plural verbs. | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
Learning Latin, part of a traditional academic education. | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Girls in Rugby High School are ambitious. | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
But England's school system lags behind other countries. | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
Today, from the man behind the league tables, some warnings. | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
More grammar schools might not help the poorest. | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
More selection won't help our best students | :18:33. | :18:33. | |
We cannot detect any advantage from a more selective system. | :18:34. | :18:46. | |
In raising average performance or in raising excellence. | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
You can look at highly selective systems in Europe. | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
At the top end of the distribution it cannot compete with east Asian | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
systems which are comprehensive in their nature. | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
Ministers say less wealthy pupils will be given priority. | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
There might be more than one chance to get a grammar place. | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
But some are asking where's the evidence it will raise standards? | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
This is a debate about how much we can learn from other countries. | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
It depends whether you believe grammar schools | :19:16. | :19:16. | |
Or, whether you think we should be looking to the highest | :19:17. | :19:28. | |
performing education systems in the world. | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
China's largest city came top in the last education league tables. | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
Pupils in Shanghai were best at reading and maths. | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
How they teach maths here is about to be copied | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
But in Rugby, the grammar school wants to work with other schools. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
The head isn't convinced looking abroad is the answer. | :19:50. | :19:59. | |
I think it's actually a dangerous thing to think you can just simply | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
lift an idea, a technique, a way of being from one country | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
One thing's for certain, the fight over grammar schools isn't over. | :20:06. | :20:18. | |
The BBC is being asked to name all its presenters and staff | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
It's part of the renewal of the corporation's Royal Charter, | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
the document which sets out how it should be run. | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
Our Home Editor Mark Easton is outside New Broadcasting House. | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
This proposal is something the BBC has always fought against. Yes, this | :20:40. | :20:49. | |
is really a development the BBC did not want. People love to know about | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
celebrities and their money but Theresa May always had a reputation | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
for demanding transparency in public life and on this occasion she said | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
to the BBC, anyone on the staff, not just celebrities, who earns more | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
than 150,000 should be named but the BBC said it is a bad idea that will | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
push up costs and it might make it more likely that shows like the | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
Great British Bake Off will be lost. The government said the new charter | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
will protect a much loved institution, a new system of | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
governance. The BBC trust is being abolished and replaced with a board, | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
13 people, five members of which will be appointed by the government | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
and so there are questions about independence and salaries but most | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
in the industry would probably say the charter could be described as a | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
BBC continuity announcement. Many thanks. | :21:46. | :21:46. | |
has showcased the very best of disability sport. | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
But away from the record-breaking performances, | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
life in the city if you're disabled, can be very difficult. | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
Our Disability Correspondent Nikki Fox has been to a specialist | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
rehabilitation centre to see how children cope. | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
It's an exciting day for these kids and their parents. | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
They're putting on a show at the Donna Mecca Centre, | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
a charity based only half an hour away from the Paralympic Park. | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
This place provides essential and free treatment | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
for nearly 200 children with a whole range of disabilities. | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
Thanks to the physiotherapy provided here | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
his posture's improved in just six months. | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
But his mum is still worried about his future. | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
What's it like for you and your son, who has a disability, living in Rio? | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
It's not easy to find centres like this that will take care of my son. | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
There's around 100 people waiting to get a place at this centre. | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
Her son is blind and has cerebral palsy. | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
What they really need is specialist support. | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
TRANSLATION: It's very difficult for me because, at the moment, | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
I look at other mums with babies like mine and see that some | :23:14. | :23:26. | |
of the same age can lose more things but at least they can do something. | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
I think he won't make it with just me at home trying to help him. | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
Campaigners say Carla's problems are not unique. | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
It's always a very big wait for getting care. | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
If I had a child with a disability in Rio, I would cry. | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
But also working towards integrating rehabilitation | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
For now, these children are the lucky ones. | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
They have somewhere to go where they get the support they need. | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
In the games para GB has passed the 100 medal mark. | :24:03. | :24:19. | |
Jeanette Chippington, Emma Wiggs and Anne Dickins. | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
There were also bronze victories in the men's event, | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
helping to secure Britain in second place on the medal table. | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
With all of today's action, here's our Sports Correspondent Andy Swiss. | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
Proof that the best things really do come to those who wait. 20 years ago | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
Jeanette Chippington was winning Paralympic gold as a swimmer before | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
she retired and became an instructor and now in her 40s her comeback as a | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
canoeist produced a thrilling results. | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
Afterwards she admitted she'd never set out to achieve anything like | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
this. I said right from the start, I don't want to get into elite sport | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
again. It takes over your whole life. Before I knew it, I was | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
training twice a day every day. Four years later, a gold medal. For the | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
British fans at the lake, it was the start of a magical hour. A win for | :25:10. | :25:18. | |
ecstatic Emma Wiggs. Before Dickens. She was a volunteer at London 2012. | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
From games maker to games winner. At equestrian dressage, the woman | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
nicknamed the horse whisperer. Unable to use her legs to guide her | :25:29. | :25:40. | |
mount, fat Asha uses her -- Natasha using her voice. It was a highly | :25:41. | :25:51. | |
emotional win. Another successful day followed another glittering | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
night. At one stage, Britain won ten medals in an hour, including two in | :25:56. | :26:05. | |
one race. Aaron moors edging out Scot Quinn by 3 hunts of a second. | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
Golds for Hannah husband he will. She won with a world record. | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
Britain's winning and grinning ways are showing no signs of stopping. | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
It's not been all good news for Britain today. Another | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
disappointment for wheelchair racer David Weir. He could only finish | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
sixth in the 800 m. Afterwards, he announced he will retire after the | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
London Marathon next year. Thank you. | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Now the weather. Sunshine in Rio, but we can wave goodbye to our | :26:38. | :26:47. | |
little heatwave. It will be a thing of the past in the next 24 hours. | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
Thunderstorms are erupting. They will be a real issue. Some flash | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
flooding as I speak across areas to the north-west of London. These | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
storms are erupting elsewhere across England. Becoming more widespread | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
over the next few hours through the Midlands, East Anglia. Northern | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
England and Wales. It is all going on. There are warnings in force. | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
There could well be flash flooding. Not everywhere. Check out local BBC | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
Radio station. This is the picture. 8.00am. Don't take the flashes of | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
lightning and blobs too literally in terms of postings. It shows the | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
potential of early theior early morning commute. For eastern | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
Scotland as well. Further west, you'll be wondering what all the | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
fuss is about. Lovely across western Scotland. A few showers on the | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
breeze. Not the beasts we'll see further east. Many dry and bright | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
across the bulk of Wales and south-west England. An east/west | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
split for sure. Only slow improvements across eastern areas. | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
These thundery downpours continuing. Shifting a little further eastwards | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
through the day. The best of the sunshine remains further west with a | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
few showers. Today was the last day of the heat. We nudged into 30 | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
degree territory again across East Anglia and the south-east. Tomorrow | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
could be 10-15 degrees cooler. You will notice the difference. A | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
fresher feel continues into Saturday. Still some patchy rain | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
across eastern counties of England. Disappointing here. Best of the | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
brightness on Saturday will be out west. Clive. | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :28:34. | :28:35. |
