The 2016 Olympics have opened in Rio de Janeiro with a ceremony to mark | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
the first such Games to be held on South American soil. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Amid a backdrop of civil unrest over the cost of the Games - | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
From Rio, our Sports Editor Dan Roan reports. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
One of sport's most iconic settings for the start of what | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
The evening's key themes of world peace and sustainability immediately | :00:46. | :01:07. | |
First, a vivid portrayal of Brazil's history. | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
The stadium floor transformed into an ocean, | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
then a rainforest, as the people of the country's native tribes put | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Next came the arrival of the Europeans and a | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
reminder slavery lasted 400 years in Brazil. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
Before a change in pace and | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Ingenious 3-D projections capturing the rise of | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
Many Brazilians believe they were the real inventors | :01:36. | :01:50. | |
of the aeroplane, aviator Santos Dumont taking us on a journey | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
The Maracana then turned into a giant catwalk. | :01:53. | :02:06. | |
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen becoming The Girl From Ipanema. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
If that was a moment for one of Brazil's | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
best-known faces, the next belonged to the favelas. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
Soon it was carnival time, 1500 dancers filling the | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
The tone became serious, the voice of Dame Judi Dench helping get | :02:20. | :02:31. | |
That continuing with the parade of nations. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Each athlete handed a seed that will be planted to create part | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Their bid for a best ever away games underway. | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
The build-up to these games has been among the most troubled | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
uncontroversial in Olympic history but after a vibrant, energetic and | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
memorable show, it's now time for the focus to shift towards the | :03:01. | :03:01. | |
competitors themselves. Russia | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
received a mixed reception after the doping scandal that jeopardised | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
their place in this games. The loudest cheers | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
of the night reserved for the Olympics first | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
ever refugee team. And of course Brazil, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
hosts bringing the parade to its conclusion. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
The Olympic rings made up of trees finally revealed as | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
With that, it was time for the traditional speeches. | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
We welcome you in Rio. The Olympic city. | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
The jeers greeting him a sign of the country's | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
With football legend Pele ruled out through ill-health, Marathon runner | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima lit the Olympic flame. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
A small environmentally friendly cauldron | :03:46. | :03:46. | |
With nothing like the budget lavished on London's opening | :03:47. | :03:59. | |
ceremony four years ago, Rio's will still be remembered | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
A reflection of the tough times Brazil is facing, but | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
For the billions watching. Dan Roan, BBC News, Rio. | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
Well the first gold of the games goes to an American teenager. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Virginia Thrasher, who's 19, triumphed in a surprise | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
victory in the women's 10 metre air rifle event. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
There are 11 more gold medals up for grabs today. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
With a round up of today's events, here's our Sports | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
Underway at last. The rubbing among Rio's early starters as Britain's | :04:25. | :04:38. | |
Katherine Grainger set out in search of glory. At 40 she is chasing a | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
fifth consecutive medal. Against a dazzling backdrop, how she and | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
partner Vicky Thornley had to battle. Looking at the line commits | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Lithuania, Great Britain and France. Safely into the semis but room for | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
improvement. It's where we want to be, middle of the field. We're going | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
to be head of the field obviously. That's a grey start but we're not | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
going to be happy with that in a few days' time. Elsewhere a moment in | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Olympic history, the debut for rugby sevens. And Britain's women also | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
made a decent first impression, comfortably beating hosts Brazil in | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
their opening game. Here at the Olympic Park the fans have been | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
flocking in their thousands. But they've had plenty to enjoy, | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
including here at the judo Britain's Ashley McKenzie was among | :05:23. | :05:37. | |
those in action but after an early win his chances took a tumble. His | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Olympic hopes sadly ending in tears. But for USA's Virginia thrash out | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
the tears were of joy as she won the first gold medal of Rio 2016. And | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Olympic champion at just 19 years of age, not a bad way to start. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Well the British Tour de France winner - Chris Froome - | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
is right now taking part in the road race. | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
For the latest, let's go live to our Sports Correspondent, | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
How is he doing? There's about 50 kilometres to go. They've just | :06:07. | :06:19. | |
completed one climb of the tallest mountain on this course. They must | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
do it three times before descending into a flat sprint finish down here | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
on Copacabana. As you said Chris Froome was the favourite for Britain | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
at least. He had high hopes at the start of emulating Bradley Wiggins | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
and winning an Olympic gold in the same year as he won the Tour de | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
France. There's currently a breakaway group then 30 seconds a | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
chase group led by Britain's Geraint Thomas. Chris Froome is plugging | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
away in the ballot on. Still a way to go in this one. There was drama | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
here earlier around 25 minutes ago when a bomb went off. It was a | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
controlled explosion we understand of an unattended bag full of clothes | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
but an early reminder on day one security are leaving nothing to | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
chance as we wait to see whether Team GB can emerge victorious from | :07:07. | :07:07. | |
the mountains. A man wielding a machete | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
and shouting God is great in Arabic has injured two women police | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
officers in the Belgian Police said the attacker was shot | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
and later died of his wounds. In March, Islamist bombers killed | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
32 people in suicide A fire in a bar in France | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
which killed 13 people - many of them teenagers - | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
is believed to have been started Officials described the blaze | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
which swept through the party venue Police say the fire broke out around | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
midnight in the basement of the bar. It had been packed with young people | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
who'd come here for a birthday Someone carrying the cake apparently | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
tripped down the stairs and The candles and sparklers then set | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
off the deadliest fire there's Neighbours heard the | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
shattering of glass and thought, at first, | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
it was TRANSLATION: There was panic | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
in the bar, everybody was trying to But unfortunately those who were in | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
the basement didn't have the I think some of those | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
downstairs didn't burn, but Police say the ceiling | :08:18. | :08:27. | |
of the basement had been soundproofed with material that is | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
reported to have caught fire with terrifying speed, | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
releasing poisonous fumes. We came here to have | :08:34. | :08:34. | |
a good time together. It's impossible to believe | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
that this has happened. 13 people in their late teens | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
and early 20s are dead, and one is fighting | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
for their life, in a city still mourning | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
the death of an elderly priest murdered | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
by extremists last month. The investigation | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
will focus on whether the bar had flouted | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
safety regulations. Police in Devon are appealing for | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
information about a missing teenage boy who was last seen | :09:03. | :09:13. | |
near the River Dart in Totnes. The 16-year-old - | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
who has been named by police as Nathan Wood - | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
was reportedly in a distressed state, after possibly taking | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
a substance that was formerly He was last seen by the river | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
on Friday evening. South Africa's governing party | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
the ANC has suffered its worst election defeat since the end | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
of apartheid, in the country's which held only Cape Town before | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
the municipal and regional elections, won the highest number | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
of votes in the capital Pretoria, and gained significant | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
support in Johannesburg. There's more throughout the evening | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
