:00:12. > :00:16.Welsh competitor to successfully defend an individual Olympic title.

:00:17. > :00:21.I knew I was good enough to come here and win and I would have been

:00:22. > :00:24.disappointed with anything less than gold.

:00:25. > :00:28.Back home in Flint, they were up all night celebrating

:00:29. > :00:40.Hopefully Tokyo is next and we go from there.

:00:41. > :00:45.Welsh athletes are into double figures - 10 medals won so far

:01:10. > :01:13.revealed 150 people were reported to police after meeting children

:01:14. > :01:19.The campaign for a 24/7 nationwide helpline to provide support

:01:20. > :01:24.And mountain rescue teams say a big increase in call-outs

:01:25. > :01:32.is stretching the resources of the volunteer organisations.

:01:33. > :01:37.She's the first Welsh athlete to successfully defend an individual

:01:38. > :01:43.Jade Jones is celebrating gold in the taekwondo

:01:44. > :01:48.At just 23, Jade has told us she plans to go for the hat-trick -

:01:49. > :01:52.a third gold medal in Tokyo in four years.

:01:53. > :01:55.Well, hundreds pulled an all-nighter in her home town of Flint

:01:56. > :02:00.Let's head to Rhodri Llywelyn in Rio.

:02:01. > :02:08.The pressure was on coming to Rio - an overseas Games.

:02:09. > :02:11.Fewer competitors than in London four years ago and a record

:02:12. > :02:17.But Welsh athletes have delivered on the biggest stage.

:02:18. > :02:30.Defending her title, Jade Jones beat main rival Gomez

:02:31. > :02:34.of Spain 16-7 in a thrilling final to secure back-to-back

:02:35. > :02:40.I was 6-0 up and then I came off the gas a bit.

:02:41. > :02:43.My coach would have killed me if I'd lost it after that so I thought,

:02:44. > :02:47.one round, go for it with everything you've got and then I had to be

:02:48. > :02:52.It's no secret that Jade Jones had a difficult spell after London 2012.

:02:53. > :02:55.She struggled with motivation and took a short break

:02:56. > :02:59.from taekwondo, but here in Rio, the world number one was back

:03:00. > :03:04.to her best - once again becoming Olympic champion.

:03:05. > :03:09.Jade Jones' gold takes the medal tally for Welsh athletes in Team GB

:03:10. > :03:16.Four golds, six silvers - their most successful Games ever.

:03:17. > :03:19.Jade took up taekwondo when she was eight.

:03:20. > :03:22.Her grandfather took her to her first lesson

:03:23. > :03:25.and spent endless hours driving his granddaughter

:03:26. > :03:34.To do it once is incredible but to be double Olympic champion

:03:35. > :03:41.Jade doesn't do bronze and silvers, it's gold or nothing.

:03:42. > :03:49.Back home in Flint, they are getting ready for a homecoming party.

:03:50. > :03:52.And last night, for those who did not make it to Rio,

:03:53. > :03:58.the celebrations went on well into the night.

:03:59. > :04:10.From fairly early on you could see that she had a lot of promise.

:04:11. > :04:13.She started doing well in tournaments early and she had

:04:14. > :04:17.a lot of support from members of her family who took her all over

:04:18. > :04:19.the place to compete and train and it all

:04:20. > :04:30.It's a sight we've become accustomed to over the last few weeks.

:04:31. > :04:35.Welsh athletes up on the podium on top of the world.

:04:36. > :04:38.By the time she'd received her medal, seen the family,

:04:39. > :04:41.got back to the athletes village, it's safe to say that

:04:42. > :04:44.Jade Jones didn't have too much sleep last night.

:04:45. > :04:48.But I caught up with the double Olympic champion first thing this

:04:49. > :04:53.morning and asked whether it felt any different this time around.

:04:54. > :04:57.I still can't believe it from London, to be honest.

:04:58. > :05:04.I knew I was good enough to come here and win and I would have been

:05:05. > :05:07.disappointed with anything less than gold.

:05:08. > :05:11.But in taekwondo, anything can happen.

:05:12. > :05:15.Until you've got the medal around your neck, nothing is certain.

:05:16. > :05:19.Talk us through the emotions of winning last night.

:05:20. > :05:23.Four years, I have trained so hard, and it has been a long road

:05:24. > :05:31.When you win and you do everything right on the day, it makes that

:05:32. > :05:36.Are you better equipped to deal with it this time around?

:05:37. > :05:41.Last time I was 19, I was young, and it was a big shock.

:05:42. > :05:46.I'm already so pressurerised and world number one,

:05:47. > :05:53.And we are now at the beginning of another four year cycle.

:05:54. > :05:58.Yes, I'm only 23 and I love taekwondo.

:05:59. > :06:03.I love to fight so I will definitely be in Tokyo.

:06:04. > :06:06.We saw you celebrate with the Red Dragon last night.

:06:07. > :06:11.What does it mean to you to represent not only Team

:06:12. > :06:16.I am super proud to be British and I am also super proud to be

:06:17. > :06:19.Welsh so any chance I get, I love to grab the Welsh

:06:20. > :06:24.It just means so much, all the support I get,

:06:25. > :06:29.I couldn't do it without them, especially back home in Flint,

:06:30. > :06:35.I have just seen a video of them all going mad in the pub

:06:36. > :06:39.in Flint and it's so special that they are all behind me.

:06:40. > :06:42.Last time, after your win in London, we saw a leisure centre named

:06:43. > :06:47.after you in Flint, there's a gold postbox as well,

:06:48. > :07:08.Richly deserved. Despite concerns beforehand, the Olympics have gone

:07:09. > :07:14.off without major incident but tonight real concerns surrounding

:07:15. > :07:19.the Paralympic games. They have been twists and turns, bugs involving the

:07:20. > :07:23.Olympics, nothing to compare with what faces the Paralympics, who have

:07:24. > :07:29.announced major budget cuts to the Rio games amid a funding crisis. It

:07:30. > :07:34.means they will be cuts to sporting venues, staffing and transport. Some

:07:35. > :07:40.teams might not get her at all because of a delay in the payment of

:07:41. > :07:45.travel grants. Only 12% of the tickets available have been sold.

:07:46. > :07:49.That is on top of the criticism that organisers have faced for empty

:07:50. > :07:56.seating in the Olympic Games. The IPC president has said that never

:07:57. > :08:01.before in the 56 year history of the games have they faced circumstances

:08:02. > :08:05.like these. At the moment, disability sport Wales have been

:08:06. > :08:08.unable to comment. Thank you very much indeed. Much more from me later

:08:09. > :08:11.in the programme. To the day's other news and children

:08:12. > :08:14.in Wales are already taught online safety at school but the NSPCC

:08:15. > :08:16.is calling for compulsory lessons about the specific dangers of social

:08:17. > :08:20.media and online grooming. It comes after the child protection

:08:21. > :08:23.charity found that more than 150 people were reported to Welsh police

:08:24. > :08:26.forces over the past five years for meeting a child

:08:27. > :08:30.after sexual grooming. More than half of those cases

:08:31. > :08:34.had an online element. 17-year-old Louise,

:08:35. > :08:40.which isn't her real name, was nine when she started

:08:41. > :08:42.using Internet forums where men asked her to share

:08:43. > :08:47.photos of herself online. I felt like, they deserve it

:08:48. > :08:52.because they have spoken to me and they have treated me

:08:53. > :08:55.with respect and they have treated me like I am older than I am

:08:56. > :09:00.so in return they deserve pictures or most of the time it

:09:01. > :09:04.would be go on camera. It was bad and it made me

:09:05. > :09:08.uncomfortable but I did it because they were asking and I felt

:09:09. > :09:12.rude saying no. When her parents found out

:09:13. > :09:15.she was banned from the Internet but started visiting chat

:09:16. > :09:18.rooms again when she That attention, for some

:09:19. > :09:24.reason, hit me in a spot NSPCC Cymru Wales warns that Louise

:09:25. > :09:30.is one of an increasing number of young victims

:09:31. > :09:33.being groomed online. The charity has found that over

:09:34. > :09:35.the past five years, 155 people were recorded in Wales

:09:36. > :09:39.as having met a child Dyfed-Powys Police saw the highest

:09:40. > :09:45.number of cases, 60. There were 35 in the

:09:46. > :09:48.South Wales Police area. And over half of all the cases

:09:49. > :09:57.recorded in Wales since 2011 have Schoolchildren in Wales are already

:09:58. > :10:05.taught elements of online safety but the NSPCC says all children

:10:06. > :10:08.should be given age-appropriate lessons about the specific dangers

:10:09. > :10:13.of social media and online grooming. The real challenge for us all is,

:10:14. > :10:18.can we help young people spot the danger signs, the warning signs,

:10:19. > :10:23.of what might be grooming behaviour so they can stop this risk happening

:10:24. > :10:27.before it manifests The Welsh government says it has

:10:28. > :10:34.an extensive safety programme across Wales and has an online

:10:35. > :10:39.one-stop shop providing help for children to stay

:10:40. > :10:43.safe on the web. Meet Chaos, a bilingual alien

:10:44. > :10:49.character developed by the staff at the Danger Point

:10:50. > :10:54.centre in Flintshire. Over the past two years he has

:10:55. > :10:59.helped teach over 16,000 ten and 11-year-olds

:11:00. > :11:02.from across North Wales about how He can give them bits of advice

:11:03. > :11:08.but he asks the children to teach him so he has got

:11:09. > :11:12.Internet safety homework. He asks children to help him

:11:13. > :11:15.with his homework about staying safe online, what they would advise,

:11:16. > :11:19.their settings and their profile and keeping themselves safe

:11:20. > :11:23.online in the process. I was not happy and I did not

:11:24. > :11:26.realise how damaging it was. One man was sent to prison

:11:27. > :11:29.and others were investigated She was not warned of the dangers

:11:30. > :11:35.until it was too late but there are hopes that making

:11:36. > :11:38.children more aware of the risks they face online could help

:11:39. > :11:40.prevent them from going North Wales Police has said it

:11:41. > :11:48.will not be investigating allegations of fraud against UKIP

:11:49. > :11:51.MEP Nathan Gill. The Anti-Fraud Office

:11:52. > :11:54.of the European Union is reviewing the allegations

:11:55. > :11:57.that he misused parliamentary funds. Nathan Gill says the claims

:11:58. > :12:00.are entirely bogus and are part of an ongoing strategy

:12:01. > :12:04.to damage his reputation. An Army bomb disposal team

:12:05. > :12:07.was called to the Intellectual Property Office in Newport this

:12:08. > :12:10.morning after a suspicious package Police say all staff

:12:11. > :12:15.were safely evacuated. Specialist officers have carried out

:12:16. > :12:18.a controlled explosion of the package as a precautionary

:12:19. > :12:20.measure and an investigation A group of young Welsh people

:12:21. > :12:28.who have been homeless are calling for a 24-hour phone line and app

:12:29. > :12:31.to give others in that They say three-quarters of young

:12:32. > :12:56.homeless people don't know At the Swansea homeless project, I

:12:57. > :13:04.met the woman behind a campaign to set up a 20 47 helpline. At the age

:13:05. > :13:08.of 23, her life is on the up but during her teens she experienced

:13:09. > :13:13.some dark and difficult times. After foster care I was put back into way

:13:14. > :13:21.I came from, essentially. At the age of 18. But being put back into the

:13:22. > :13:24.place where I was saved from, it was quite debilitating and detrimental

:13:25. > :13:30.and I went downhill mentally and physically. Moved away from her

:13:31. > :13:34.family again, she settled in Swansea and was placed in a refuge. She told

:13:35. > :13:38.me that often there was not someone to talk to who could relate to

:13:39. > :13:45.experience, which made life much harder. Over time I just got worse

:13:46. > :13:49.and worse, having no one to talk to, and the depression got so bad that

:13:50. > :13:54.the tablets weren't working. I stopped talking to people, I stopped

:13:55. > :14:00.doing anything. I love reading, I love drawing, I stopped doing both

:14:01. > :14:05.of those. I stopped living. Along with a group of young people, they

:14:06. > :14:10.have decided to set up a petition calling for a UK wide helpline which

:14:11. > :14:12.can be accessed on the phone at any time all year round. How do you

:14:13. > :14:17.believe this helpline could help other young people who are

:14:18. > :14:24.experiencing homelessness as you did? The people answering the phones

:14:25. > :14:28.would be people like me who have experienced homelessness, who have

:14:29. > :14:34.empathy and know what we are talking about. We are not just some person

:14:35. > :14:37.who is hired to talk on a phone and rehearsing a script. We are going to

:14:38. > :14:45.help them there and then, where they need to go, what they need to do.

:14:46. > :14:49.The charity Llamau is backing the campaign. It offers support and

:14:50. > :15:03.advice to people facing challenges. It believes a 20 47 helpline --

:15:04. > :15:08.24-7. A really good example of this would be a domestic abuse helpline

:15:09. > :15:14.which runs across the UK. So charities can feed into that and

:15:15. > :15:18.help staff it. Across Wales and the UK, thousands of young people are

:15:19. > :15:22.facing some form of hopelessness -- homelessness but soon it is up there

:15:23. > :15:29.will be a UK wide helpline to help them.

:15:30. > :15:32.These things are murderous, arboreal, tree-climbing

:15:33. > :15:37.They can hunt in the tree tops, they can hunt on the ground.

:15:38. > :15:39.Find out what's got this man so concerned.

:15:40. > :15:42.And batten down the hatches. We're in for some rough weather.

:15:43. > :15:52.Heavy showers and a risk of flooding on parts of the coast.

:15:53. > :15:54.Search and mountain rescue teams across Wales say the number

:15:55. > :15:58.of call-outs in the last 12 months has increased by nearly a third

:15:59. > :16:00.and it's stretching the resources of the volunteer organisations.

:16:01. > :16:04.Research by BBC Wales shows that the team in North East Wales

:16:05. > :16:08.saw the largest rise - an increase of 70%.

:16:09. > :16:15.The beauty of Moel Famau in the Clwydian Range is a draw

:16:16. > :16:17.for walkers all year round but the hills and mountains

:16:18. > :16:21.of this area are proving so popular that the local mountain rescue team

:16:22. > :16:26.It's not just walkers but horse riders and mountain bikers getting

:16:27. > :16:32.The nice weather and the get fit message might be reasons why more

:16:33. > :16:35.and more of us are enjoying the great outdoors.

:16:36. > :16:37.But those increased visitor numbers are putting a strain

:16:38. > :16:44.The North East Wales Search and Rescue Team were called

:16:45. > :16:49.to 70% more incidents in the past 12 months.

:16:50. > :16:53.The Llanberis team saw a 29% rise, and in the Brecon Beacons,

:16:54. > :17:04.The Brecon Mountain Rescue Team trains every week and holds regular

:17:05. > :17:08.special exercises to prepare them, like this one.

:17:09. > :17:11.The most common rescue they are called out to are lower leg

:17:12. > :17:15.injuries, but the huge increase in call-outs is stretching

:17:16. > :17:20.All mountain rescue teams in England and Wales are voluntary organisation

:17:21. > :17:26.staff and our team costs ?40,000 a year to run based on approximately

:17:27. > :17:33.100 calls so as we attend more calls, we will use more medical

:17:34. > :17:37.equipment, more ropes, and they can only be used

:17:38. > :17:41.Martin Bevan has been a volunteer with Brecon Mountain

:17:42. > :17:46.He says the increase in call-outs means they are having to step

:17:47. > :17:51.The extra work is also taking its toll on family life.

:17:52. > :17:54.We train every Wednesday night and the first Sunday of every

:17:55. > :17:57.month but then call-outs could happen at any time.

:17:58. > :18:00.It can be very difficult as a family.

:18:01. > :18:03.It can be quite hard on the children because we can be organising to go

:18:04. > :18:05.swimming and suddenly Dad is not coming with us

:18:06. > :18:11.Mountain rescue teams across Wales accept that accidents happen

:18:12. > :18:14.but they are urging those using the countryside to help

:18:15. > :18:17.themselves by being prepared and having the basic equipment

:18:18. > :18:23.like a map, compass and a phone when they take to the hills.

:18:24. > :18:26.Back to Tomos now, with more from the Olympics.

:18:27. > :18:33.There were celebrations in the waters off Rio last night

:18:34. > :18:37.after Hannah Mills from Dinas Powys was finally awarded the gold medal.

:18:38. > :18:41.Mills won sailing's 470 event with partner Saskia Clark.

:18:42. > :18:43.They knew they'd done enough for gold on Tuesday

:18:44. > :18:47.but they were made to wait and wait to get their hands on that medal.

:18:48. > :18:53.Their final race was delayed by 24 hours because of the weather.

:18:54. > :18:56.A 1,500 metre swim followed a 40 kilometre bike ride,

:18:57. > :19:01.then a 10k run on the streets of Rio - that's what awaits two Welsh

:19:02. > :19:05.women aiming for success in the triathlon in Rio.

:19:06. > :19:09.Both Non Stanford from Swansea and Helen Jenkins from Bridgend

:19:10. > :19:12.are among the favourites and are former world champions.

:19:13. > :19:18.Her preparations then plagued by injury.

:19:19. > :19:20.This is the third time going to the Olympics

:19:21. > :19:23.and they have meant something different every time.

:19:24. > :19:27."Oh, my god, I'm going to be an Olympian - amazing."

:19:28. > :19:30.London was so focused on trying to achieve the goal,

:19:31. > :19:33.trying to achieve a medal, trying to win.

:19:34. > :19:36.And this time it just feels like a bonus that I'm going.

:19:37. > :19:41.There's a new world champion every year.

:19:42. > :19:43.The Olympics comes around every four years

:19:44. > :19:46.and it is the coming together of all the sports as well.

:19:47. > :19:48.The one chance where all the sports are unified

:19:49. > :19:53.and you all have a shot at the same sort of medal

:19:54. > :19:55.so there is definitely something special about the Olympics

:19:56. > :19:59.and I don't think you can ever top that.

:20:00. > :20:02.Keep an eye out for Seren Bundy-Davies on Sunday.

:20:03. > :20:04.She's a medal contender as part of Team GB's

:20:05. > :20:11.Ahead of their Premier League match against Hull tomorrow,

:20:12. > :20:15.Swansea City's new American owners have revealed they have held talks

:20:16. > :20:18.with the council about expanding the Liberty Stadium.

:20:19. > :20:22.Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien led a consortium which bought

:20:23. > :20:26.a controlling stake of 68% in the Swans in July.

:20:27. > :20:28.The stadium, which is owned by the council, has a capacity

:20:29. > :20:37.of 20,000 - the second smallest in the Premier League.

:20:38. > :20:45.I think there is a real laser focus on having the great fan experience

:20:46. > :20:49.and if we are going to improve the experience, we want to go for more

:20:50. > :20:55.fans, so getting more people in this building. It also helps us in terms

:20:56. > :21:00.of our competitiveness. When other clubs come here, it is a hostile

:21:01. > :21:02.environment. For all those reasons, that is one of the things at the top

:21:03. > :21:04.of our list. The Wales midfielder Emyr Huws

:21:05. > :21:07.hopes his move to Cardiff City can help him forget the disappointment

:21:08. > :21:10.of being left out of The 22-year-old, whose side takes

:21:11. > :21:15.on Fulham tomorrow, is now aiming to secure a regular starting place

:21:16. > :21:18.in the Bluebirds' midfield. Striker Jon Parkin could

:21:19. > :21:20.start his first game Meanwhile, Wrexham take

:21:21. > :21:26.on Eastleigh at The Racecourse. We'll have the latest

:21:27. > :21:31.from Rio in our programmes throughout the weekend,

:21:32. > :21:34.Lucy. A rare mammal being relocated into

:21:35. > :21:38.part of Ceredigion has been labelled Pine martens, a member

:21:45. > :21:47.in Wales until a conservation charity organised a project

:21:48. > :21:50.to boost their numbers. But one landowner claims

:21:51. > :21:52.it doesn't make sense Elusive, quick-moving

:21:53. > :22:00.and primarily nocturnal. The pine marten is part

:22:01. > :22:02.of the weasel family They are tree top as well as land

:22:03. > :22:07.hunters. That is what concerns

:22:08. > :22:11.landowner Charles Grisedale. If you think a fox in the chicken

:22:12. > :22:15.coop is bad news, you wait until you've got

:22:16. > :22:19.a pine marten in there. He took me around

:22:20. > :22:21.his 300 acre estate. He's spent 20 years turning it

:22:22. > :22:24.into a haven for rare He believes it's madness to release

:22:25. > :22:30.these predatory mammals into These things are murderous,

:22:31. > :22:39.arboreal, tree-climbing They can hunt in the tree

:22:40. > :22:44.tops, they can hunt They might look very nice

:22:45. > :22:49.but coming to one of the last lapwing reserves in Wales,

:22:50. > :22:52.coming to a wood The pine marten was on the verge

:22:53. > :22:58.of extinction in Wales but last year 20 were brought here from their last

:22:59. > :23:02.remaining UK stronghold in Scotland, And another 20 will be released

:23:03. > :23:08.in the next few weeks. Another concern is pine martens

:23:09. > :23:13.spread themselves far and wide. A male's home range is usually

:23:14. > :23:17.around eight square kilometres, so in somewhere

:23:18. > :23:21.like the Rheidol Valley, where they are being released,

:23:22. > :23:24.at the moment there will only be around two living

:23:25. > :23:27.here so the concern is, with another 20 being released,

:23:28. > :23:31.they will cover a vast area. David Bavin is from

:23:32. > :23:34.the Vincent Wildlife Trust, the conservation charity

:23:35. > :23:36.behind the scheme. He says pine martens

:23:37. > :23:38.favour well-wooded areas They are definitely

:23:39. > :23:43.not killing machines. They are a predator,

:23:44. > :23:46.they are highly omnivorous so a large proportion of their diets

:23:47. > :23:49.will be invertebrates, fruit, small mammals

:23:50. > :23:52.make up a great bulk. They do take birds but they are not

:23:53. > :23:55.specialist bird predators. They don't leap around

:23:56. > :23:58.the canopy hunting birds. Back in June three of the pine

:23:59. > :24:01.martens gave birth to five kits. It demonstrates how successful

:24:02. > :24:05.the relocation project has been and the conservationists say they're

:24:06. > :24:08.a key missing element in the woodland ecosystem

:24:09. > :24:11.but for landowner Charles Grisedale this is a further concern

:24:12. > :24:21.to his own conservation project. Time for the weather and it's not

:24:22. > :24:25.a weekend for a barbecue, Derek. It's not going to be a weekend

:24:26. > :24:28.for sitting in the garden. Mother Nature is going to give us

:24:29. > :24:30.a taste of autumn. Heavy showers and rough seas

:24:31. > :24:35.but improving on Sunday. The reason for the unsettled weather

:24:36. > :24:38.is a deep low-centred near Ireland. The cloud spiralling outwards

:24:39. > :24:41.like a Catherine Wheel. Overnight, showers will

:24:42. > :24:48.become more widespread. Strong to gale force on the south

:24:49. > :24:54.and west coast. Tomorrow's chart shows a deep area

:24:55. > :24:57.of low pressure over the UK. Lots of isobars and that means

:24:58. > :24:59.unseasonably strong winds. There is a Met Office yellow warning

:25:00. > :25:02.in force which covers much of Wales. 50mph to 60mph on exposed coasts

:25:03. > :25:10.in the south and west. Brief drier spells with

:25:11. > :25:16.a few sunny intervals. Natural Resources Wales are also

:25:17. > :25:23.warning of the risk of flooding on parts of the south and west coast

:25:24. > :25:27.due to the combination of high spring tide, low pressure

:25:28. > :25:31.and strong onshore winds. The Llanrwst Show is

:25:32. > :25:34.taking place tomorrow. Not the best of weather

:25:35. > :25:38.it has to be said. Bright intervals and blustery

:25:39. > :25:41.showers. And for the Green Man

:25:42. > :25:43.Festival in Crickhowell, Tomorrow night will continue

:25:44. > :25:48.breezy or windy. On Sunday, low pressure will be over

:25:49. > :25:57.the North Sea with another low More in the way of dry,

:25:58. > :26:04.bright weather. However, more rain will reach

:26:05. > :26:12.the south by evening. More rain on Monday but summer may

:26:13. > :26:21.return by the middle of the next week with sunnier

:26:22. > :26:30.and warmer conditions. Before we go, a reminder

:26:31. > :26:36.of our top story: Jade Jones has become the first

:26:37. > :26:41.Welsh athlete to successfully defend an individual Olympic title

:26:42. > :26:44.for Team GB. The 23-year-old has been celebrating

:26:45. > :26:46.gold in the taekwondo for the second Games running and she's planning

:26:47. > :26:58.to make it a hat-trick. I knew I was good enough to come

:26:59. > :27:02.here and win and I would have been disappointed with anything

:27:03. > :27:16.less than gold. Yes, I'm only 23 and I love

:27:17. > :27:18.taekwondo. I love to fight so I will

:27:19. > :27:22.definitely be in Tokyo. A financial crisis means

:27:23. > :27:24.the Paralympics Games have to be significantly scaled back with less

:27:25. > :27:27.than three weeks to go. The International Paralympic

:27:28. > :27:28.Committee has tonight announced major budget cuts, the closure

:27:29. > :27:31.of one venue and that ten nations may not be able to afford to come

:27:32. > :27:34.to the Games at all. I'll be back with our next update

:27:35. > :27:39.a little later than usual tonight. Until then, from all

:27:40. > :27:42.of us on the programme,
