>> after the warm welcome and embrace of london 2012, a slightly bizarre sendoff. heathrow created a games terminal to help the international troops of thousands but tired athletes heading home. >> for me i just thought about all the work that i put into it, that my teammates put into it and thinking about all the people that helped us get here. it's such a special thing to look at this. i know everybody always says this is what it's worth, this is what it's worth what we've sacrificed and what every athlete has put in here just to be here is amazing. for me, that's why this is so special. >> but for the last night party, a closing ceremony, the athletes in the olympic stadium were really the supporting cast. one direction, madness, the pet shop boys and others kicked off

the wonderful symphony. annie lennox provided the most memorizeing entrance and the spice girls. then there was the handover of the lam flag to the mayor of rio with a glimpse of carnival to come when the olympics arrive in south america for the first time in four years. so now, the london olympics flame was doesed and the stadium rocked out to take that and the who with "my generation." then a frenzy of close out of games that were beyond most wildest dreams. >> they have been flawless. i just hope rio takes the mantle and lives up to the next game. >> back at heathrow, the athletes are being invited to leave their departing thoughts on a tree that will be displayed

at the airport. >> now the games may be over, but there is still some olympic news coming through. one shot putter has been stripped of her olympic gold medal after failing a drug test. 31-year-old threw 21.36 meters with her third attempt to win in the olympic stadium last week. new zealand's valley adams who was second has now been awarded gold. five camaroon boxers who disappeared last sunday from the olympic village have broken their silence to tell the bbc why they left. they said they had been threatened by senior members of the camaroon delegation and told to surround their past port. if they were sent back they

would definitely not have a future in camaroon. they have denied the claims. he says the athletes were not threatened and had some of the best preparation the boxers have ever had. he also says they -- they have spoken to the boxers at an indisclosed location in london. >> we left the olympic village because we were threatened. we were already threatened when we were coming from camaroon. we thought things had been settled, but it was not the case. we arrived in the olympic village on the 26th, then we asked about our incentives. they divided our bonuses into two. it was not the amount they promised to us. we were not happy with that, but we decided the five of us that as fighters we should fight because it's a matter of image. >> so who threatened them?

>> the camaroon authorities threatened, those who brought us to these games. those who were with us in london. when a cog league was defeated he was asked to give the passport. he told us as soon as he ended boxing he did not even have time to rest. they asked him to give his passport. after it was the same people who asked him for his passport at the end of his match. so we decided to go and see him telling him they were disturbing our concentration because we are a group. even if our colleagues were at the competition, they could stay to encourage us, not to be sent back so early. >> well, let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today with our colleague peter dobby in the west london studio. >> george, thank you very much.

mohammed mursi has called on his country to raly behind him as he moved one of the most powerful men from leadership of the armed forces. he's replacing mouhammad hussain tantawi. he's also canceling constitutional amendments that gave the military power. is the muslim brother hood playing a clever game of tactics here? >> i think, well definitely politics is some kind of a game. and he's shown himself to be very shrewd and clever. the conversation with the top brass was inevitable. what happened in sinai last week, 16 egyptian soldiers killed on the border with israel and whose fault but that if not the army leader? he sees the opportunity, at a time where people are growing

sort of critical in the army and the way they handle this crisis and it was an on tune moment to do sooner what he would later. >> is he squaring up to the institutional court, all of the constitutional court? >> that's the next battle he has in his hands. he seems to have been preparing well for that. he apointed a senior judge, very respective judge as his vice president. that is the first time it happened in egypt, to have a vice president, and egypt had not had a vice president for many years. also, his chance for the justice ministry, a very independent-minded judge who campaigned for the independence and he seems to be gearing up with a confrontation. >> how can he have that confrontation with the constitutional court and yet he's got a placeman from the

constitutional court. is he going to sack them all? if he does that, the negative p.r. effects will be huge. is he going to pick them off one at a time? >> judging from how he's been handling it, he doesn't seek an all out confrontation at the same moment. i think he will do the peace meal approach. most likely what he's going to do that has already been talked in egypt is of changing the law. that founded the constitutional court, that makes some of its rulings could be appealed against another court. so he's going to reduce the powers of the constitution but sacking all of them i think would be a decoration of wore and difficult. but definitely he will have to cut some of the wings so he can see throw his political program. >> many thanks. >> thank you. >> some breaking news coming to us out of rome. we understand the vatican has now ordered that the papal butler will stand trial for

theft in that scandal surrounding a leaking of papal documents outside of the vatican. that's all we know at the moment. this story has been rumbling all for more than a few moments. the vatican has ordered that that papal butler should go to trial. we're tracking that story for you and we'll get you a live update as soon as we condition. hsbc has won -- a judge has ruled that the activists must leave on august 27, ending one of the longest running occupied protests. about a dozen activists have been living on a large open space on the ground floor of the building. protesting against widening inquality. the indian guru who staged an anti-corruption protest in deli has been detained. he's campaigning for the

recovery of suspected bribe money allegedly held overseas. the u.s. president barack obama says mr. ryan was a decent man but with a vision fundamentally at odds with his own. the pick appears to have reinvigorated the party's conservative base. still to come, we're back at the olympic park as thousands of athletes and sport staff head home and the big cleanup begins. the mayo of rio was at the closing ceremony to receive the olympic flag from the president of the i.o.c. rio is hosting the 2016 games. preparations of course well underway. the bbc's report andy moore caught up with the mayor.

>> every character stamps its characters on the olympics, what is rio going to give to the world in four year's time? >> it will be a game of great transformation in the life and history of rio. but more than that, it's going to be games of legacy and celebration. all to do with passion and transformation. so it will be great games. >> what have you learned from being here in london? what lessons have you picked up? >> puts a lot of weight in our shoulders so we have to do it better. but the operation of the city, it was really amazing to see. two things, the legacy that there's no white elephants, that's good. not like just putting money away so they were good for the games.

and the second thing is this operation of the city. how so many people could get into a place at the same time and then get out of this place. i use the tube a lot. the olympic family car was much better to go around using the regular transportation of london. >> so rio has its own transport problems. are you going to be able to cope with the influx of visitors? >> that's one of the big challenges we have ahead of us. rio's infrastructure is not as good as london's. we'll have less time than you had to learn how to operate it. so it's going to be an even greater challenge. >> this is g.m.t. from "bbc world news." our main story, london says farewell to the thousand of

visitors they've hosted over the past two weeks as athletes and spectators begin the great olympic getaway. now, the head of the international olympic committee closed the london olympics by saying the games had been happy and glorius, words carefully chosen from the u.k.'s national anthem. now the long-term legacy of the olympics is firmly in focus, bearing in mind that the motto of london 2012 will inspire a generation. reports on the plans to keep that promise. >> when you think that $14 billion have been spent on these olympics, it comes as something of a surprise that the star of the show has been mother nature. these flowers have all been built in as part of the structure, so every spectator who's come to these games will go away with a memory not just of great supporting achievement, but of a beautiful landscape to

boot. the designers call this a park for the olympics, not an olympic park. it's a place to create a mood befitting a festival of sport. >> it's a mixture, the feel of the stadium, the greenery, the flowers, it's tremendous. >> everybody's been very kind and considerate. i think it's really happy. >> the first time i've been able to wonder -- it's the first time i've been able to wander around london and everyone is talking about this. >> we hope the volunteers get to have a very good party like they did in sidney, because they put a lot of work into making everyone else cheerful. >> 70,000 volunteers in all for these games and the paraolympics to follow. it's brought them a flame from a

previous olympic host. >> i congratulate what you've achieved here. it's been a spectacular experience for everyone involved. >> once the summer's over, some venues will go as a transition gets underway. out comes the basketball bubble, the hockey stadium, the water polo pool, in will come the housing, in theory. >> we have the first stage, we always knew that would be the platform moving forward and that will stretch out to the next 200 years because that's the time frame we've designed this place for. we're at the starting blocks, we have a marathon to run and this is it. >> the world economy won't help. the challenges are huge. but long-term, could this be the venue that breaks the mold? from olympic white elephants to an olympian green giant. >> now, thousands of athletes

from across the globe start to make their way home this morning as normal life resumes. heathrow airport has createded a temporary terminal. john brain is there for us now. john, we're all talking about a closing ceremony but for heathrow it's still got one big job left to do. >> that's correct, yes. the party's over but they've got to get their taxi's home as it were. this is actually a car park at heathrow which has been turned into a london park. i don't know how much of it you can see. we're restricted in what we can film here. but it's got artificial hedges and a tree on which athletes will be leaving their favorite memories of the game. but 6,000 athletes in all will be passing through here today. some of them, i must say, are looking a little worse for wear

at last night's closing ceremony. a late night for them. of course it's been celebrations for several days for some of the athletes who finished their events earlier than others. but all going pretty smoothly so far. we've seen justin gatlin, the bronze medal winner in that amazing 100-meters final where he was beat by usain bolt and blake. and others have said how great the crowds were even if they weren't necessarily rooting for them. they took the energy of the crowds, particularly in the athletic stadium. so all going well so far, but a long day for staff here. it will be actually three days before all the athletes are processed. but this has been described as heathrow's possibly biggest day ever. >> we'll leave it there, thank you very much. now, let's catch up with some

other news with peter back in the studio. >> a government appointed commission in norway is handing down reports right now in last year's bomb attack and massacre. it will focus on the police, rescue services and other authorities. the top line coming out of the capitol, this that's what happened could in theory have been awarded. let's open the mikes so we can get a sense of what's going on there. >> thousands of documents and the reports to recall close to the events. a lot of technical data, g.p.s., telecommunication. we have had form statements, and we have had other conversations. in total, this will be about 800 persons we have met with. we had an extensive questionnaire and a lot of

background data on what happened. in practice we have received all the information we have asked for. also, classified information and government's memos. wee have not had to negotiate declassifying material. everything has been declassified the way we wanted to. on behalf of the commission, i thank you all for having been open and forthcoming. in addition to the 166 meetings with several persons, public servants have had a particular statement, others have not. they have been able to talk about facts and been able to read and comment upon minutes.

a precise picture of the events have been decisive to link events to what is often referred to as real time. because a number of modern and an lil tools, we see part of our mapping of interaction between different sources linked to the tip about the perpetrator from global shields. another important question has been where was the police when we can say who was where at what time? can we see for instance a photo showing one of the bolt transporting the police's troops. this perhaps not so easy to see it on the helicopter videos. and then we apply that video on an electronic map. we super impose it. so first we do a sounding between the two -- we look at where the camera was and find

out where the bolt was and when. this is one of the many support points that together give the root and the time of its arrival. >> the authorities in oslo taking us through the questions they have yet to fully answer, who knew what and when about anders. you could call that a tip-off in the system as to the dangerous nature of that particular individual and also working out as to how they could, or should have responded to that tip-off before he did what he did in oslo and on the island. let's get more on that news that's broken since we've been on air here. the pope, his former butler is to stand trial after letters from the pope's private office were leaked to the press. he says he acted because he saw evil and corruption everywhere in the church. his lawyer says his client has

confessed to stealing the players. but told investigators he was acting in the interest of the catholic church. live now to rome. so david, the apology isn't enough then? >> well, no. the trial, we don't know yet when it will take place, but the vatican is going to put on trial not only the butler, but an an italian man who used to work as the secretary of state, the pope's cabinet office as a computer expert. they found in a draw at his work place an envelope containing some information which he has not been able to explain why it was addressed to mr. gabriellei. this other police we haven't known about until now. he's going to be charged with aiding and abetting in the theft of these documents. >> is it conceiveable that he acted completely alone?

>> it seems very difficult to believe that he alone was responsible, indeed. the vatican investigation has turned up this other man, and who knows if there were other accomplices. they have been at pains avoid any accusation against anyone wearing a clerical collar. received a salary of vatican employees, it would be even more damaging to the vatican if it were to be acertained that any clerics had been involved in this leak of documents. what we have learned is that mr. gabrielli was the source for the italian investigation service which published a book calling his holyness containing letters to and from the pope.

so, very damaging this trial will be for the italian journalist who has refused to reveal his sources. mr. gabrielli has admitted to vatican investigators that he was the principal source. >> given that this is the vatican and it is a self-standing state will it be conducted in the stick churs of vatican law or italian law? >> vatican law. the vatican has its own judicial system, which follows very largely the pattern of the italian. the process is roughly the same. it's staffed by italians and run by italians. if he is found guilty on charges of aggravated theft cl is the official charge, he will perhaps serve a term of imprisonment in the italian jail. he won't go into a vatican dunn

jen. >> top story here on g.m.t., spectacular fireworks display and a musical ex travegansa has closed the london olympic games. we'll recap the top stories in a couple of minutes. see you then. >> saw quite an active cold front working its way through northeast of the united states during the weekend. now moved out into the atlantic, and pressure is rising again. so monday offers something of a respite from the really rather disturbed weather. there is some rain to be found in florida, but maybe not so across cuba apart from the odd shower, sunny looks of things. we've seen some really nasty weather, tropical way working through trinidad, some squirrely winds and heavy rainfall.

windy but essentially dry, maybe the odd showers north of rio. little fine weather, some sunshine on monday afternoon but it does cloud over to southern argentina. we'll see some strong winds, heavy ran and maybe even some snow atop the andes. it looks like tuesday is a pretty desent sort of day for chicago, new york, houston, they'll see some sunshine. take a look
