Belarus Olympian given Polish visa after refusing 'forced' flight home

We get the latest on the case of Krystina Timanovskaya, the Belarusian sprinter who refused to fly home early from the Olympics. The 24-year-old said she was forcibly taken to the airport for criticising coaches, and that she feared for her safety. She is now at the Polish embassy in Tokyo after being granted a humanitarian visa by Poland.

Also, we hear from people living in Sydney where hundreds of soldiers have been deployed to enforce a Covid lockdown. New South Wales has recorded more than 3,400 locally-transmitted Covid cases since mid-June, with the Delta variant thought to be behind the surge.

And after Italy's two shock gold medals at the Olympics, as well as July's UEFA European Football Championship win, we get reaction from Italians to their country's sporting success.
