We speak to Olympic greats ahead of the Rio Games next summer.

We speak to the British Olympic Association's Bill Sweeney and some Olympic greats from the world of swimming, cycling and boxing ahead of the Rio Games next summer.

It's one year until Rio 2016. Olympic champions Rebecca Adlington, Nicola Adams and Ed Clancy spoke to Dan and Sarah about their hopes for the Games next summer. And the British Olympic Association's Bill Sweeney responds to Lord Coe's comments on doping in athletics. 

Plus, after Leicestershire Police confirm they carried out a three-month trial where they only answered attempted burglaries at even-numbered houses, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire, Sir Clive Loader, says he's "disappointed" to hear about the trial and most certainly would not have advocated it had he known beforehand.
