After two weeks of thrilling competition - | :01:09. | :01:10. | |

The closing ceremony, starts in just a few hours time, | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
and roads are already blocked around the Maracana stadium. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
A record 87 countries have won at least one medal at these Games. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
And the home nation have been given a boost with victory | :01:29. | :01:31. | |

Let's cross to where the closing ceremony will be held - | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
the Maracana stadium - where we can join my | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Welcome to the final day of these Olympic Games, I am outside the | :01:42. | :01:57. | |
manic and are where the closing ceremony is getting underway in a | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
few hours from now. We have had some sporting action to bring you up to | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
date, it's got incredibly windy here in the last few hours or so, we | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
think it might rain so it will be interesting to see if that will | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
impact the number of people who come here. One of the last events is the | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
basketball taking place at the moment, the final between the USA | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
and Serbia. The USA are quite a bit ahead at the moment looking to | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
secure gold, 73-39, that match will be concluded in the next half an | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
hour or so. It started with the marathon today, gold went to Eliud | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
Kipchoge day of Kenya with Ethiopia taking silver and the USA bronze. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Gold went to Switzerland in the cross-country mountain bike. His | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
fourth world title. I have to say about the home crowd here, Brazil | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
gave the crowd something to cheer about when they secured the gold | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
medal in beating Italy on the closing day of these games in the | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
men's volleyball, after doing it against Germany in the football | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
yesterday, 3-0 against Italy, huge cheering when that happened and | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
My colleague Peter Okwoche is in the fan zone. | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
You mentioned the wind, it's picking up just behind us. The fan zone | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
located at the old. Area in downtown Rio. You mentioned the rain as well | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
so there are not as many people as we thought there was going to be but | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
the people here are really proud of the show that Brazil has put on. You | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
mentioned the malathion, -- marathon. The men ran past the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Museum of tomorrow that you can see in the background, the white | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
structure, they ran past at this morning to loud cheering despite the | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
fact it took place in the rain. We are hoping the gods will hold the | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
rain up and we can move down later on and join that party. It seems to | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
be picking up again, there were lots of people about an hour and a half | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
ago but because of the winds and the forecast Varane it seems people have | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
decided to move indoors. Hopefully they will come out and start to | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
party as the curtain falls on the first Olympics ever in South | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
America. Thank you Peter. The fans | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
themselves, we think that fans will get busy as we head into the next | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
few hours. More details of what we can expect inside the stadium but of | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
course no attention will turn about how the games have gone, what the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
legacy will be for Brazilians living in this city and indeed the | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
perspective for many of the communities. | :05:09. | :05:09. | |
I'm joined now by Theresa Williamson, Founder | :05:10. | :05:10. | |
and Executive Director of Catalytic Communities. | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
That's an organisation which provides media support and help to | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Fidel groups, thank you for joining us on a blustery and Wendy -- windy | :05:22. | :05:33. | |
day, how do you think it has gone? We are good at throwing parties and | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
putting together infrastructure when needed. Unfortunately we are not | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
good at pulling off infrastructure for those who need it. That's not | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
changed with the Olympics. We have seen $20 billion spent on the games | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
and we will be paying it off for years to come and in the meantime a | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
lot of necessary infrastructure especially around sewage, education, | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
health, basic needs are not being met and that's not changed. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Political uncertainty and economic turmoil, this city has felt that, | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
staging two major sporting events in recent years, what impact that have? | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
We will be paying it off. We have elections for a new mayor coming up | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
soon so we don't know what will happen next, civil society groups | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
have come together in the last several years and put together an | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
agenda of what they would like to see put into place to change a lot | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
of this but we don't know if it will come to pass. You have been working | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
for a long time, have they felt any benefit from these games? No. In | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
general they have not felt the benefit, we had 80,000 people | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
removed from their homes in the lead up to the games. This city took | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
advantage of the negative stigma and reputation of these communities to | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
upend many of them which were actually much better places to live | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
than the public houses were people have been taken. Meanwhile the | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
promised infrastructure has not been delivered. There was supposed to be | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
an Olympic legacy which would have brought infrastructure up to | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
standard by 2020 and it was completely abandoned after 2012. I | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
know you were sceptical about any of those policies being met. As far as | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
you can see it, what you thought was going to happen as happened, there | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
has been no widening out of resources and the promises they | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
made, do you think that will change? There are a few positives to come | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
out of the Olympics, one is the international spotlight coming to | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Rio. So much coverage and visibility. A lot of historic | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
condition issues in the culture here which were taken for granted are no | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
longer so. People question the inequality much more, people are | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
more sceptical and concerned about sewage. People just got used to a | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
lot of those conditions and so I think now there is more pressure to | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
change but we will see what happens. Where we are standing now we can | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
smell this sewage, and that was one of the biggest concerns. They did it | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
in the immediate spaces were the sporting events are taking place, | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
but you are saying they have shunned the issue to the global audience | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
cannot see it. Absolutely, you cannot see it on television, you | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
cannot smell it so it's not thought of as affecting people. The | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
infrastructure we sought getting put in was things which were visual, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
cable cars which are underused because that is not what the | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
residents demanded but they look great on photographs. We need to see | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
a change. Thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate your | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
insight. So how does it work for these games? Let's look at the | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
medals table. The United States is still | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
on top - with 45 golds. Great Britain is in second place - | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
with 27 golds. Team GB have done what no country | :09:08. | :09:19. | |
has ever been able to do, bettering their medal tally from when they | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
hosted the game. 67 medals in total. Look at the gold, that is what | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
clinched them, ahead of China with 27. Incredible games. But for now | :09:31. | :09:40. | |
America reigns supreme. Stay with us, we will be back every hour until | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
the closing ceremony and after on BBC world News. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
Police in Brazil have carried out new raids over allegations | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
Three people - whose passports have been confiscated - | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
were asked to attend the local police station. | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
Tickets, computers and mobile phones were also seized. | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
Patrick Hickey, a senior Olympic official has been arrested | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
over the ticket sales, and is being held in a maximum | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Well for all the latest action from Rio you can | :10:08. | :10:19. | |
A suicide attack in Turkey - which killed at least 50 people | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
at a wedding party - was carried out by a boy | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
aged between 12 and 14, according to the country's | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
President Erdogan blames militants from the so-called Islamic State. | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
The attack happened in the city of Gaziantep, | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
It was meant to be a moment of celebration. | :10:40. | :10:49. | |
A wedding party in Gaziantep, torn apart by a massive bomb. | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
The guests, mainly Kurds, were outside when it hit. | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
A suicide vest was reportedly found at the scene. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
The Government says the Islamic State group | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
TRANSLATION: Our friends and neighbours were there. | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
A now familiar scene as the injured recover from another attack | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
in Turkey, the country has been hit by a wave of bombings over the past | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
I was standing and then something exploded and I passed out, | :11:29. | :11:38. | |
and then I woke up and looked for my parents. | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
From the Turkish president a shocking detail, | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
he said the suicide bomber was between 12 and 14 years old. | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
Some of those injured, he said, are in a critical condition. | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
This could be a response by IS to recent losses in Syria, | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
the US-led coalition ousted the jihadists | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
Could this bombing of a Kurdish wedding be IS revenge? | :12:04. | :12:14. | |
The Turkish Prime Minister says his country will pay a more | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
active part in the Syrian conflict, we understand Turkish backed rebels | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
are preparing a further offensive into IS territory, | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
to be granted safe passage across the Turkish border. | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
The Gaziantep attack could be a warning shot against Turkey. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
It has become almost routine in Turkey, the emotions | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
as victims are laid to rest, guests of a joyous wedding party | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
Well in the past few hours a statement from the White House has | :12:39. | :12:51. | |
Let's get more, we can join our correspondent | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
A very strong statement indeed from the United States, the country | :12:55. | :13:09. | |
standing in solidarity with Turkey? Absolutely, the White House issuing | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
a statement condemning in the strongest possible terms this attack | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
calling it barbaric cynical and cowardly. What is interesting is the | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
way it freezes the relationship between the United States and | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
Turkey, we stand by the people of Turkey as we defend their democracy | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
in the face of all forms of terrorism. It goes on to say that | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
Vice President Joe Biden will be visiting Turkey this week as | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
previously arranged to reaffirm as the statement puts it our commitment | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
to work together with Turkey, are valued Nato ally and partner to | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
confront the scourge of terrorism. Some say that democracy is actually | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
in threat, under threat in Turkey because of the strength of the | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
crackdown by President Erdogan following the attempted to quite | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
recently and that Nato membership is also in peril by the response to | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
that crackdown. Also that the partnership Turkey enjoys with the | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
United States could all start to unravel if the United States | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
continues to drag its feet as far as ecru dating rebel Turkish Muslim | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
cleric based here who Turkey believe instigated the coup. These could be | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
an easy talks indeed then? It's a delicate time as I mentioned in the | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
whole US Turkey relationship. Turkey blames that queue on this cleric, | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
the Turkish Muslim cleric, the United States is concerned by Turkey | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
's response to this crackdown, people being rounded up, and there | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
are differences as far as combating Islamic State in Syria is concerned. | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
The United States has been backing Syrian Kurdish rebels who have shown | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
some success in fighting Islamic State in the north of Syria. Turkey | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
for its part brands those rebels terrorists. We have of course got a | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
lot at stake here for the United States for the simple fact that it's | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
been using the bases in Turkey to launch the strikes on Islamic State | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
so lots to talk about this week. Olympic record breakers, the | :15:31. | :15:40. | |
athletes who have made history at the Rio games. | :15:41. | :16:51. | |
The latest headlines, as the Rio games drawn to a close, Eliud | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
Kipchoge eight wins the men's marathon, one of 12 gold medals | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
decided on Sunday, generals have been taking place for the victims of | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
Saturday's bombing in Turkey. President Erdogan says the wedding | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
was attacked by eight teenagers eight bomber under the influence of | :17:13. | :17:13. | |
the so-called Islamic State. The Iraqi government has executed 36 | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
people convicted of taking part in a massacre carried out | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
by the so-called Islamic State. The massacre was one | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
of the worst Iraq has ever seen. With up to | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
one-thousand-seven-hundred army recruits murdered at a base | :17:30. | :17:30. | |
camp in 2014. Despite the large scale | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
of the tragedy there's been wide-spread condemnation of Sunday's | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
executions of those BBC Arabic service's | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Issam Ikirmawi explains. It's been two years since these | :17:38. | :17:50. | |
harrowing images began circulating. Islamic State militants captured and | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
executed hundreds of cadets. Documenting the events on film. It | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
was one of the biggest atrocities of the conflict with so-called Islamic | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
State. There were very few survivors but those who did play dead for | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
their lives. TRANSLATION: The fourth bullet was meant to kill me but it | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
missed, the next bullet killed the man next to me, I play dead and fell | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
to the ground, I was covered by the blood of my comrades and rolled down | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
into the valley. Even to day authorities cannot be sure exactly | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
how many men were murdered but the number could be as high as 1700. At | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
least 12 mass grave sites were discovered at the camp when it was | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
recaptured last year. Most of the victims were Shia Muslims and the | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
outrage at the death helped to mobilise powerful Shia militia in | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
the fight against Islamic state. But there were fears some of those | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
executed on Sunday did not play a role in the massacre but confessed | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
under torture. The United Nations condemned the move to fast-track the | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
executions following a series of large-scale bombing in Iraq recent | :19:08. | :19:08. | |
months. Let's take a look at some | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
other stories now. Hundreds of people in Hong Kong | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
have been protesting against what they call "political | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
censorship" in next month's Six candidates have been barred | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
from running in September, for failing to prove they have | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
abandoned the principle Singapore's Prime Minister has | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
warned his successor must be ready to take over from him | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
after the next general election. Lee Hsien Loong was taken ill | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
during a speech on the country's National Day - there were fears | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
a stroke was the cause but his office insists he was just | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
dehydrated. A double suicide bomb attack | :19:44. | :19:53. | |
by the Somali Islamist group, al-Shabaab, has killed at least | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
fifteen people in the It's the second attack in six months | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
on a city which had previously escaped the worst of the violence | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
that has afflicted much of Somalia. The American owners of Liverpool | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
football club have insisted it's not for sale despite reports Chinese | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
consortium wants to buy a large stake. A number of English football | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
clubs have seen an injection of Asian money but Fenway Sports Group | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
says no offer of Liverpool been received. | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
There's also plenty of sporting action away from the Olympics. | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
West Ham United won their first Premier League game at their new | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
home, a goal from Michail Antonio in the 84th minute was enough to defeat | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
Bournemouth at the London Olympic Stadium. The visitors played the | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
last 20 minutes of the game with ten men after Harry Arter was sent off. | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
We just deserved it. Because we were pushing and we wanted it more and we | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
are delighted to have a first game at this beautiful stadium as a win | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
and clean sheet, it's a great feeling. David Moyes tenure in star | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
Judge John Rowland has not got off to the best of starts, the former | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
Manchester United manager saw his team suffered a straight second | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
defeat as they went down 2-1 to local rivals Middlesbrough. David | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
Moyes saw his side fall down 2-0 before half-time, both goals coming | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
from Christian Stuani. Sunderland managed to pull a goal back in the | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
second period thanks to Patrick van Aanholt. Their efforts were | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
terrific. There was a lot of good things. We lost to the first goal | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
which was a very good goal, albeit we could have closed it down a bit | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
