TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/1099 IN_TIME: 07:42:53 - 09:04:13 // 12:18:02 LENGTH: 02:56 SOURCES: All APTN except shots 1- 20 = CH 9 RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat XFA Sydney is braced for a crowd of as large as two million people, stretching from the Homebush Olympics site to the famous Opera House, for the closing ceremonies and fireworks extravaganza. Australia's outstanding success in hosting the Games will finish with a bang - with the largest pyrotechnic show ever attempted. On Sunday people from all over the country gathered in Sydney to revel in the spectacle, filling up most of the main sites before the final event of the Olympics, the marathon, was completed. From the fields of play to Sydney's magnificent harbour, Australia and the world's athletes said goodbye on Sunday to two weeks of sporting triumphs and doping embarrassments. It was a memorable Summer Olympics eager to claim the title of "best games ever." Basking in two weeks of Olympic glow, Australians streamed into downtown for a pyrotechnic treat... an 8.5-mile "fuse" carrying fireworks along barges from Olympic Park across Homebush Bay to the majestic Sydney Harbour Bridge for an explosion of light. They call it the "River of Lightning." From the moment the men's marathon competitors ran into the stadium, marking the symbolic end of competition and freeing the stadium for 10,000 athletes to swarm in the party was on. Australia expended great effort showing itself to the world during these Olympics to help visitors, and a TV audience of billions, understand that the world's southernmost continent is more than kangaroos and boomerangs. But, mindful of the tourism dollar, it also recognises that pop-culture images still sell and sell well. To that end, such modern talents as Midnight Oil, Men at Work, Kylie Minogue and Savage Garden were enlisted to entertain the world for the closing ceremony. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I think it's gonna be the definition of extravagant." SUPER CAPTION: Darren Hayes, Savage Garden Even experienced performers said they were daunted by the ceremony ahead. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I've never done anything like this before. I'm wildly excited. I'm a little bit nervous." SUPER CAPTION: Kylie Minogue, Pop singer Other participants fall into the category of Australian icons. They will ride around the stadium on floats in a bid to remind foreigners of Australia's contribution to international celebrity. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I don't know why. I woke up this morning with the biggest anxiety attack, like I'm gonna fall off my float." SUPER CAPTION: Elle MacPherson, Model/Actress Another icon, an unlikely choice in Slim Dusty, was worried about an image not so well-known outside Australia. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I'll have to glue the hat down, because if the hat goes, well it's not me." SUPER CAPTION: Slim Dusty, Folk Singer One icon was not so worried about his own performance, but that of the Olympic Committee President. SOUNDBITE: (English) "If that Juan Samaranch guy doesn't say it's the best ever, then you know he's a dunce." SUPER CAPTION: Paul Hogan, Actor The ceremony was broadcast live on 16 giant screens across Sydney and Australia. It enlisted two Royal Air Force F-111s, fireworks artists from five continents, seven thousand performers and the parade of Australian icons. More than five thousand tickets remained unsold less than 24 hours before the closing ceremony was to begin. These were made available for free on a first come-first served basis to the 46,000 volunteers who served the Games. The high price, 1,350 Australian dollars (about U-S 725 dollars ), has been blamed for scaring off some potential buyers. Others figured they'd have more fun down at the Opera House and Harbour bridge. Those here at the main Olympic site had nothing but gushes of praise for their Sydney experience. SOUNDBITE: (English) "It's just a good way to finish off celebrating I think for two weeks. It's been a pretty fantastic two weeks. So you've got to go off with a bang I think." SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop SOUNDBITE: (English) "I'm very sad. There will be tears shed. Cry, cry." SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop SOUNDBITE: (English) "The Australian people are fantastic. The volunteers have been great. The games have been great, just the rivalry, everything. Everything's just been wonderful." SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop Sydney passes the baton to Athens, Greece, which will host the Games in 2004. There has been speculation that Athens, which has been criticised for being way behind in preparation, could lose their role if certain criteria aren't met soon. Talk has centered on holding the event in Sydney again if such a crisis arose. Sydney Olympic organisers seem happy to say goodbye to their central role in pulling off the Games, though, relieved that all that could go wrong didn't. Most didn't want to praise the Games' success too lavishly until the final events were all completed. But people all over town, and especially down near the Harbour bridge, where the fireworks would reach their conclusion, soaked up as much of the waning fun as possible. Families paraded around the area, jumping on rides and eating and drinking eagerly. Monday promises a well-earned hangover, and memories of a special Olympic experience.

TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/1098 IN_TIME: 20:40:38 - 21:33:11 LENGTH: 01:47 SOURCES: CUBAVISION RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: Natural Sound XFA A satisfied President Castro greeted Cuba's national baseball team and other athletes as national heroes on Friday as the first section of the country's Olympic delegation returned from Sydney. Although the baseball team was knocked from its championship throne and had to settle for the silver, and former high-jump champion Javier Sotomayor also ended in second place, Castro did have something to glad about - as of Friday afternoon, there had been no reports that a single athlete or other member of the Cuban delegation had defected during the Sydney games. Castro, dressed in his typical olive green uniform, embraced every member of the delegation as they stepped onto Cuban soil. "Welcome to your homeland: champions of dignity," read a large banner that was hung from the side of the international terminal. "Returning with glory to the homeland," read another. Cuban salsa music blared from speakers and hundreds of sports fans cheered and waved as the aeroplane exit was opened and the athletes emerged. The communist government had worked hard to prevent defections during the Olympics, and Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque gave the group a particularly rough speech, shown live on state television. He told them that the country was more with concerned about their loyalty than gold medals. At the airport Perez Roque congratulated the athletes upon returning "with the glory of the homeland". But Castro's pleasure at the return of his nation's finest athletes was tempered in his address to the athletes and gathered crowds which implied corruption at the Olympics had robbed Cuba of medals they deserved. SOUNDBITE (Spanish): "No one should be downcast. Now, what we need to do, is perfect everything. Because we know what the Olympics are like today - I'm not going to talk about it: how they have completely commercialized it; how certain sports have been so corrupted, because they have done it with boxing, where really we only lost one or two medals - the others were stolen from us." SUPER CAPTION: Fidel Castro, Cuban President The Cubana airlines flight that arrived on Friday afternoon carried 245 athletes, trainers and other members of the Olympics team. Gold medalist Anier Garcia, who beat three Americans in the men's 110-metre hurdles, carried the red, white and blue Cuban flag as he led the delegation down the airplane steps. He was accompanied by Filiberto Azcuy, who won the gold in Greco-Roman wrestling; and women judo champions Legna Verdecia, in the 52-kilogram category and Sibelis Veranes, 70 kilograms.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jeff Ruffolo, Beijing Organising Committee for the Games (BOCOG) spokesman: "I would think that these would be the greatest games of the modern age. It's beyond what Sydney was, which was the platform of all Olympiads, which was (called) 'the best games.' I think we're shooting for the next level, that hurdle above, which is the 'greatest' Olympics. Because everything works and then you have all these wonderful venues on top - the cherry on top. Everything has gone great. We have just 5 major, 6 major days, left of competition. Anything can happen in 6 days - its the Olympic games... so barring aliens landing at the Olympic park we'll be okay." 14. Stone statues in the shape of animals close shot of statue eye 15.

Wide of crowds outside National Indoor Stadium with "Beijing 2008" sign STORYLINE: A week after the Olympic flame first leapt into the night sky over Beijing's landmark Bird's Nest stadium, the Games of the XXIX Olympiad are already memorable. Protests, pollution, the rise of China as a sporting superpower, and a phenomenal performance in the pool by Michael Phelps have all vied for the headlines. But the question remains whether Beijing will be awarded that coveted title: "The best games ever." The International Olympic Committee (IOC) says the games are on track, despite the early controversies. "We don't expect perfect games, we expect games that are good for the athletes, good for the spectators, good for the media - and in terms of what we see operationally, that's what we are seeing," IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies said. Veteran Olympians like Dick Fosbury - the man whose high jump technique became known globally as the "Fosbury flop" - says its still not clear where the Games will rank in Olympic history. "It's too early to say, but obviously they've demonstrated how serious the athletes are, and I've really enjoyed watching the excellent performances by all of the athletes; and the Chinese have proven they're just exceptional," Fosbury said. China's medal-table topping success so far is a source of intense national pride. Chinese tourists as well as foreigners are visiting the 'China Story' theme park in Olympic Green, where 30 pavilions showcase China's diverse provinces. "You could grab any Chinese person and you find that fulfilling this 100-year dream to host the Olympics has made them very proud," said Lu Wanting, a guide on the Guizhou Province Pavillion. The start of track and field competition in the National Stadium on Friday has also boosted crowds in Olympic Green, where a lack of atmosphere had led to early complaints. On Saturday, thousands queued to enter the massive precinct under a second consecutive day of blue skies - the haze that dogged the early days of competition blown away by Thursday's wind and rain. Beijing Organising Committee for the Games (BOCOG) spokesman Jeff Ruffolo said organisers aimed to surpass Sydney's title of "the best games ever." "I think we're shooting for the next level, that hurdle above, which is the 'greatest' Olympics," he said. "Barring aliens landing at the Olympic park we'll be okay."

Close-up of cooler box STORYLINE: Two men and their young sons were rescued after their boat sank in waters near the Australian city of Sydney on Thursday. They survived by clinging to a cooler box while waiting for a rescue helicopter to arrive. They had entered the water after they spotted black smoke coming from the engine of their fishing boat and water leaking into the engine hatch. One of the group, Rick Matthews, was later taken to hospital with a leg injury and minor burns. Detective Superintendent Mark Hutchings of New South Wales police credited their quick rescue to the activation of a positioning beacon. "Scott (Smiles), his friend and two kids were picked up within 45 minutes of that boat going down because of one reason, and that is he had the presence of mind to activate the emergency beacon," he said.

Various of Chinese residents celebrating outside the Chinese Embassy in Moscow 31. SOUNDBITE: (English) Vox pop, Chinese supporter "Olympic Games... welcome to Beijing..." STORYLINE: Beijing was awarded the 2008 Olympics on Friday, winning the games for the world's most populous country for the first time despite criticism of its human rights record. The International Olympic Committee in Moscow picked China over rival bids from Toronto; Paris; Istanbul, Turkey; and Osaka, Japan. Beijing won on the second round of a secret ballot by receiving 56 votes, three more than a majority. It set off an official celebration of fireworks, songs and flag-waving by thousands of people in Millennium Square in the western part of the Chinese capital. In the trade centre hall where the vote took place, Beijing supporters screamed and pulled out Chinese flags. A banner appeared with the slogan, "Eternal Beijing, Olympic Games, a century dream come true." Beijing was the front-runner throughout the race, even though it drew criticism about its human rights record. IOC members clearly believed the Olympics will open China to the world, improve the human rights situation and speed social and economic reforms. "We are totally aware at the IOC there is one issue on the table ... and that is human rights," IOC director general Francois Carrard said. "Human rights is a very serious issue in the entire world. ... "It is not up to the IOC to interfere in these issue, but we are taking the bet that seven years from now, we sincerely and dearly hope we will see many changes." Beijing's victory came seven years after it lost to Sydney by two votes in the election for the 2000 Olympics. Human rights issue were a factor in that defeat, with memories of the 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square still fresh.

Francis Lun, General Manager of Lyncean Securities Limited in Hong Kong said hopes for a resolution on the European debt crisis had buoyed the markets slightly, but improvements were still tentative. "The turnover is quite low meaning that many investors are on vacation or still staying on the sidelines, so we are not seeing the beginning of bull market but really just say recovery from the previous low," Lun said. Investors have been cheered in recent weeks by evidence of a rebound in the US - the world's biggest economy and a crucial export market for many countries in Asia. Investors were also encouraged by an agreement in the US Congress to extend a payroll tax cut for two months.
