i did take it very seriously. i worked my but off preparing for the olympics. and i gave it all, truly. i am honoured to be a part of the australian olympic team and be part of the olympic breaking debut. what the other athletes have achieved hasjust been phenomenal. in regards to the allegations and misinformation floating around, i'd like to ask everyone to please refer to the recent statement made by the ioc, as well as the hosts on the australia breaking instagram page. bit of a fun fact for you. there are actually no points in breaking.

if you want to see how the judges thought i compared to my opponents, you can actually see the comparison percentages across the five criteria criteria on olympics.com, all the results are there. i am going to be in europe for a few weeks for some preplanned downtime. but i'd really like to ask the press to please stop harassing my family, my friends, the australian breaking community and the broader street dance community. everyone has been through a lot as a result of this. so i ask you to please respect their privacy. i'll be happy to answer more questions on my return to australia. thanks, everyone. that's the australian breakdancer. i have some breaking news from sweden. they have confirmed their first case

of m parks. it was declared yesterday in parts of africa a public health emergency of international concern. in sweden the first case has been recorded. a minister has told a press conference, we have now during the afternoon had confirmation we have one case in sweden of the most grave type, so this highly contagious disease which is formally known as monkeypox, has killed more than 400 people during an initial outbreak in the democratic republic of congo. it has spread through parts of central and east africa. scientists are concerned how fast it is spreading

and its high fatality rate. sweden is now saying it has its first case at sight of africa. plenty more on this on the bbc website do check it out. you are watching bbc news. as many as 74,000 prosecutions for alleged railfare evasion in england and wales are set to be quashed, following a landmark ruling. it's after a process allowing magistrates�* hearings to be held behind closed doors was declared void. our transport correspondent katy austin was in court today, she told us what the result means for passengers. well, this wasn't really about whether people did or didn't pay rail fares. it's about the process that had been wrongly used by some train companies to prosecute them. and the chief magistrate declared six test cases as a nullity, basically meaning they never happened in the first place. it's as if they never happened. he said he would make a similar ruling in future about other similar cases.

now, he doesn't know exactly how many that will be but he said the best guess is something around the 74,000 mark. and the next steps, therefore, is to try to identify which those cases are. and that is something that the courts and the train companies will now get onto before people can then be contacted. that may not be easy in every case. and eventually, refunds forfines can be paid to them. and that process is likely to take several months. also in court today to hear what was said was one man who successfully fought back against a prosecution that was initially brought against him using the single justice procedure. this was his reaction after the hearing. it feels absolutely great. it's complete vindication of mine and the railway uk forum's position right from the start. with the lonely six months when i was having to get my mp involved, having to contact journalists, having to contact

various campaigning bodies, trying to raise awareness of this, so to see it elevated to the chief magistrates�* court and get to that ruling is absolutely fantastic. the department for transport welcomed an apology from train operators and said people affected would be directly contacted in due course. that was our transport correspondence. taylor swift returns to london's wembley stadium on thursday night for the final concerts of the european leg of her eras tour. swift will be playing five final shows from tonight, with the excitement already ramping up at wembley. security will be tight, after her shows in vienna last week were cancelled following the arrest of three teenagers for allegedly planning an attack. our correspondent chi chi izundu has been at wembley soaking up the atmosphere this is just this isjust a this is just a little snapshot because quite a few of them started queueing last night. now, in terms
