London Diary

Sebastian Coe has described a spectator who allegedly threw a bottle onto the track at the start of the 100m men's final as getting "poetic justice" when he was then smacked by a judo champion.
LOCOG chairman Lord Coe said: "I'm not suggesting vigilantism but it was actually poetic justice that they happened to be sitting next to a judo player."
He added: "Throwing a bottle onto the field of play is unacceptable, it's not just unacceptable at an Olympic Games but at any sporting event and anybody who does that will be removed.
"There is zero tolerance for anything like that."
Holland's world judo champion Edith Bosch swung into action after seeing the man lob the bottle just seconds before the race started.
She claimed on Twitter that she had "beaten" the person who had thrown the bottle.
She said: "A drunken spectator threw a bottle onto the track! I HAVE BEATEN HIM .... unbelievable.”
Speaking to NOS TV, Bosch said: "I had seen the man walking around earlier and said to people around me that he was a peculiar bloke.
"Then he threw that bottle and in my emotion I hit him on the back with the flat of my hand. Then he was scooped up by the security.
"However, he did make me miss the final, and I am very sad about that. I just cannot understand how someone can do something like that."
NBC's major gaffe
While as many as two billion people around the world were watching arguably the greatest 100m final of all time, most athletics fans in the US were being treated to a replay of the equestrian event.
NBC, who are the rights holders for Olympic broadcasts in the USA, have taken the decision throughout the Games to offer highlight packages of the day's action in their primetime slots.
They showed the London 2012 Opening Ceremony several hours after it had finished (and came under fire for cutting out a poignant tribute section to London terror victims), and have missed out on hundreds of hours of footage as it happens.
The decision will be hard to understand in the UK, where viewers have been treated to rolling live coverage throughout the day.
But despite the 100m final taking place at 1645 on Sunday on the east coast of the US, and around lunchtime on the west coast, the race was not shown until primetime.
Watt power surge from Ennis
Australian long jumper Mitchell Watt thanked Jessica Ennis, Great Britain's gold medal-winning heptathlete, after earning silver at the Olympic Stadium.
Struggling early in the competition, he pulled out enough to seal the medal late on, explaining: "I had to do my last jump when Jessica was finishing the 800m and the roar was so loud that for 30 seconds I pretended I was British. I later went over and thanked her."
Mitchell went into the rounds as the favourite but the honours went to Greg Rutherford.
