sport here's hugh. the first gold medal of day m at the paris olympics was also the final one to be won in the river seine. the water quality has been a constant source of concern both before and during the games with a number of training sessions and one race postponed. but one of those involved in the marathon swimming event on friday praised paris 2024 organisers�* attempts to clean the river seine. saying it set "good precedent" for other nations. in the water it was a succesful day for hungary. kristof rasovszky improved on his silver in tokyo by winning the title in1 hour 50 minutes and just over two seconds ahead of germany's oliver klemet. hungary's david betlehem took bronze. four swimmers failed to finish the race. while sweden's victorjohansson didn't race citing health concerns about the water quality. translation: clearly without the names, the translation: clearly without the games, the clean-up _ translation: clearly without the games, the clean-up of _ translation: clearly without the games, the clean-up of the - translation: clearly without the games, the clean-up of the seine| games, the clean—up of the seine would have been very difficult. with the games it was an enormous challenge and the seine clean—up is
3:33 pm
notjust challenge and the seine clean—up is not just about the olympic competitions, cleaning up the river is about helping to clean up the oceans and the sea, ensuring a city like paris can adapt to the expected temperature changes. scientists are predicting temperatures of 50 celsius in a city like paris that means an unlivable city if we do not adapt and make room for nature. china's dominance of the diving in paris continues. they've now won seven out of seven gold medals... with only one more event to come before they complete a possible clean sweep. chen yiwen is the latest to take another olympic title winning the 3 metres springboard. on the water, rather than in it, new zealand's most decorated olympian of all time lisa carrington has won a record—extending seventh canoe sprint gold medal. now 35 years old carrington claimed the kayak double 500 metres title alongside alicia hoskin. they pipped hungary's silver—winning pair while germany and the second hungarian team shared bronze. carrington�*s first gold came back at london 2012. 12 years ago toby roberts was just seven but now he's an olympic champion. the british teenager won the boulder and lead title in paris after a tense finish to the final at le bourget climbing venue.
3:34 pm
the teenager was third after the bouldering and went second last of the eight finalists in the decisive lead leg of the event. almost reaching the top of the wall gave him enough points to take the lead with just the japanese favourite sorato anraku to come but he fell just short, about 10 points short, as roberts was watching on. realising he'd become the olympic champion. britain's 14th gold of the paris games. switzerland's morgane metraux started round three of the women's golf with a one shot advantage but her lead has been wiped out at le golf national. the leaders are on the back nine and there's a two way tie at 7 under, one of them being new zealand's lydia ko. she's is a former world number one who has won a silver and a bronze in her previous two olympic appearances. while the woman currently at the top of the world rankings... america's nelly korda is tied for fourth.
3:35 pm
morgane metraux is just short of the lead. lee carsley has been named england's interim manager for their nations league matches in september replacing gareth southgate who ended his 8 years in charge after the team reached the final of euro 202a. carlsey has been the under 21s coach... but will step up while the football association continue their recruitment of southgate's replacement. they've confirmed he'll lead england for the matches against republic of ireland and finland but a statement also suggests carsley could stay in charge throughout the autumn. barcelona have signed dani olmo from rb leipzig. he went to demote desirable before leipzig and is now returning to camp nou where he came through the academy starting his career. it's a packed day in paris today
3:36 pm

3:38 pm
breaking is a type of dance created in the 70s in the bronx in new york, made to avoid all the violence between the gangs and then there was a big wave during the 70s and 80s, so it is actually a battle, a dance battle between individuals or between crews. for battle between individuals or between crews.— battle between individuals or between crews. for others it is individuals _ between crews. for others it is individuals and _ between crews. for others it is individuals and one _ between crews. for others it is individuals and one versus - between crews. for others it is| individuals and one versus one. between crews. for others it is - individuals and one versus one. it's quite amazing because basically be boys and be girls, they do not know the music they will be dancing to. —— the second back. —— the b—boys and b—girls. -- the second back. -- the b-boys and b-giris-— and b-girls. what are they 'udged on? musicauty. *

3:48 pm
japan's prime minister, fumio kishida, has cancelled a planned trip to central asia after scientists warned the country needed to prepare for a possible major earthquake. following a 7.1 magnitude tremor off the southern coast on thursday, japan's meteorological agency has issued its first ever mega—earthquake warning. residents living in the heavily populated region that faces the seismically active nankai trough have been told to be on alert. huge earthquakes along the nankai trough onjapan's pacific coast occur between every ninety and two hundred years, and are normally accompanied by tsunamis. to understand a bit more what a megaquake is, we arejoined now byjudith hubbard — she's a geologist specialising in earthquakes and author of the substack earthquake insights.

3:51 pm
elevated but a large earthquake probably will not happen. it is the best we have.— probably will not happen. it is the best we have. good to talk to you. thank you — best we have. good to talk to you. thank you for— best we have. good to talk to you. thank you for that _ best we have. good to talk to you. thank you for that expertise. i best we have. good to talk to you. | thank you for that expertise. yeah, ureat thank you for that expertise. yeah, treat to thank you for that expertise. yeah, great to talk- _ thank you for that expertise. yeah, great to talk. you're _ thank you for that expertise. yeah, great to talk. you're welcome. i let's talk football now. lee carsley has been named the interim manager of england's men's football team. the former ireland player will replace gareth southgate, who stepped down last month after eight years in charge. carsley has been the manager of the england under—21s since 2021, confusingly, and won the european championship last year. let's get more on this from football journalist henry winter. you've been covering football for 35 years or so i'm told and have seen quite a few england managers come and go. this is an interim appointment but will it be made permanent? it appointment but will it be made permanent?— appointment but will it be made ermanent? , ., , permanent? it is a very good point. hello. if permanent? it is a very good point. hello- if you _ permanent? it is a very good point. hello. if you look _ permanent? it is a very good point. hello. if you look at _ permanent? it is a very good point. hello. if you look at the _ hello. if you look at the development internationally with what we seen with england with gareth southgate stepping up from the under 21 is eight years ago,
3:52 pm
sought very successfully with the spanish, with de la fuente stepping up from the under 21 is and leading spain to win the euros against england in the final. we have seen it with argentina as well with scaloni. you see a lot of players stepping up from the under 21 is and if lee kazi is going to do it then there is a long—term benefit for perhaps giving him on but it is totally different job being the under 21 coach of england and being someone who has not played for the national team as lee carsley played for the republic of ireland and then stepping up as manager because as southgate found out, he gets asked everything from the price of fuel to political

3:54 pm
forward attacking football. good pressing, good energy. good football, bold football. a thing southgate was criticised for lacking in key moments, particularly in these euros so he is absolutely respected in the game, he certainly well known in ireland which is well england's first game will be against republic of ireland having played for them in 50 odd occasions, the birmingham born, the fa consider him home—grown, we've spoken about him in the past, he was always going to get thejob, it is in the past, he was always going to get the job, it is slightly fans all thinking juergen klopp pep guardiola would take it, the huge cut in wages, and... let's take you straight to leeds crown court now and the sentencing of 30—year—old jordan plain being sentenced. the context of your offending as it arises out of civil unrest in many parts of the united kingdom. the
3:55 pm
unrest has been generated as a result of the death of three little girls in southport and the reaction from various parts of our society towards other parts of our society. stemming from that incident, groups of protesters have gathered in many locations and on occasions they have clashed. sometimes using violence towards each other, sometimes towards each other, sometimes towards the police, sometimes towards the police, sometimes towards entirely innocent and unconnected people and their property. in a democratic society such as that which exists in this country, blah entitled to protest peacefully. they are also entitled to express their views, whatever their views may be. but each of those freedoms, to protest and to speak, have limits and boundaries.
3:56 pm
when a protest moves away from being peaceful towards being violent, then it becomes illegal and against the law. when speaking, whether directly to others or through social media platforms, what is said must not contravene the law. the law applies to everyone. no matter what colour, race, religion or political persuasion they are. there is no distinction. the law as they are to protect everyone in our society. both in terms of personal safety, safety of businesses, safety of premises, whether peoples homes or commercial properties, it is against that background that you involved
3:57 pm
yourself in a protest outside leeds art gallery on the hedgerow on the 3rd of august. you joined with a pro—english defence league group. chanting and gesticulating in the direction of a counterprotest who were demonstrating against racism. your actions have been captured at least in part on closed—circuit tv footage. you can be seen to climb on a barrier and start to make monkey noises and gestures towards the counter protesters whose number included people of colour. you are saying that they looked like monkeys. on several occasions, you robbed your lips and shouted rubber lips. you are standing alongside and in the same group as others who were
3:58 pm
making similarly racist and insulting comments. you then got down of the barrier, you started to imitate the manner in which muslim people pray in order to mock their religion. this was grossly offensive, racist language and behaviour and it caused alarm and distress to others, in particular to one person who has had the courage to come to court to tell myself and others how she felt and how she feels. to summarise only, he was scared, anxious, traumatised by your behaviour. she was fearful of
3:59 pm
violence. she felt unsafe in the city of leeds, her city where she has lived for all of her life, to the extent where she was scared to go to work for four days following this incident. she remains anxious and she remains worried about returning to work and to her university. you were arrested on the 5th of august and then interviewed, you are now 30 years of age and in particular you have convictions in july of 2012 for racially aggravated causing fear of violence and criminal damage. those convictions are an aggravating factor. you have further convictions as an adult including for violence. what you
4:00 pm
have done cannot be viewed in isolation. it must be viewed against the background of unrest and disorder in the country, this was your contribution to that disorder. your conduct and that of your group was designed to stir up racial hatred. it took place at a time when the social climate was particularly sensitive. by the 3rd of august already been disorder in southport, manchester, hartlepool, aldershot, london, liverpooland manchester, hartlepool, aldershot, london, liverpool and sunderland. i will now turn to and following the sentencing guidelines. in terms of culpability, ifind that sentencing guidelines. in terms of culpability, i find that this falls into category a since it involves the targeting of individuals by a group and it was a sustained
4:01 pm
incident.
