First, let's go straight to Rio where the Paralympic Games | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
kicked off last night with wheelchair acrobatics, | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
colourful dancing and huge fireworks. | :00:21. | :00:21. | |
Martin's in Brazil to bring us the latest. | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
Every event has a starter with a bang, and that is what happened in | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
that building behind me, the famous stadium which hosted the Paralympic | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
ceremony. It was full of colour and dancing and surprises. Take a look. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
It all began with this incredible stunts from this American, jumping | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
through the air in his wheelchair in style. Thousands of performers were | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
involved in the show, from the start to finish, showcasing the talents of | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
people with a range of disabilities. Paralympic's GB were led into the | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
ceremony by the Pearson. British athletes will be hoping for a | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
record-breaking games in Rio. But the loudest cheer of the night went | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
to the host nation's para Olympians when they entered the stadium. There | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
was also time for a massive jigsaw with all the faces of every | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
competitor at the 2016 games too. The puzzle came together to form one | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
giant beating heart. They will surprise you. Inspire and excite | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
you. But most of all, they will change you. Proud para Olympians, | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
you are rolled models for what the world want to see in today's | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
sporting heroes. At a wonderful show full of colour and music, the flame | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
was lit to officially open the 2016 Paralympic games. Start the | :02:11. | :02:11. | |
fireworks! There's no such celebration | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
for Andy Murray, though - he's crashed out of the US Open | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
in the quarter finals. He was beaten by Japan's Kei | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Nishikori in five sets. This is the first Grand Slam final | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
that won't feature Andy this year, but the Wimbledon champion said that | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
he's still proud of what he's I've not let anyone down, I tried my | :02:27. | :02:40. | |
best, I fought as hard as I could, I didn't let anyone down. Certainly | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
not myself, I pushed myself as hard as I could over the past few months | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
and I'm proud of how I've done. Next, the tallest concrete structure | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
ever to be demolished This chimney stack used to be part | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
of an old power station on the Isle of Grain in Kent, | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
but now it's just a pile of rubble! Many people came out to see | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
the controlled explosion that left 40,000 tonnes of | :03:00. | :03:30. | |
concrete rubble behind. At 244 metres high it was smaller | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
than The Shard, which is the tallest building in the UK, | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
but it was bigger than the BT Tower, Blackpool Tower | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
and London's Big Ben. In fact, it was so big, | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
you would have to stack more than 55 other to make it all | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
the way up there. So let's see it come | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
down once again. From a tall chimney to a tall dog - | :04:06. | :04:25. | |
the world's tallest, in fact. Meet Lizzy, who stands at a height | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
of 96cm and lives with her owner, She's officially become the tallest | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
living female dog on Guinness World Records have | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
announced a whole new load of records, including the highest | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
jump by a llama ? oh, yes - and the fastest 50 | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
metres walking on hands That's it for now, I'll be back | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
in about half an hour. | :04:53. | :04:55. |
