The 2016 Olympic Games are officially under | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
The first gold medal of the games was won | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
by an American shooter, Virginia Thrasher, for the women's | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
And there's been an exciting finish to the men's cycling road race, | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
with the Belgian cyclist, Greg Van Avermarter, taking gold. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
In the pool, Britain's Adam Peaty has made a great start, | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
setting a new world record in the 100 metre breaststroke. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Our sperts Editor Dan Roan is in Rio. | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
After last night's glittering Opening Ceremony, today attention | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
turned to the sport itself. World class competition going on | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
throughout the Olympic city, it carries on behind me in the Olympic | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Park. Team GB beginning their bid for the most successful away Games | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
in their history. No medals for them just yet. As Andy Swiss reports, | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
there was a very special performance in the pool. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Rio awoke to blue skies and high hopes. From the fans, who flocked in | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
their thousands, creating long queues outside the Olympic Park, but | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
above all, from the athletes. Among them one of Britain's brightest new | :02:22. | :02:39. | |
stars, Adam Peaty is just 21, but he's already atriple world champion | :02:40. | :02:39. | |
and in the heats of the 100 metres breaststroke, he didn't just win, he | :02:40. | :02:40. | |
made history. COMMENTATOR: This is going to be | :02:41. | :02:40. | |
made history. outstanding. 57. 57.5, oh, my | :02:41. | :02:40. | |
made history. goodness economy! The first world | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
record of the Games greeted with barely a nod. Surely it's time to | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
get excited. I heard the crowd screaming more and more as I got | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
towards the wall. Something dodgy going on here! Just enjoyed my first | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Olympic Games. Officially an Olympian now. It's great to get out | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
here and enjoy the atmosphere. Adam Peaty will go in the semifinals | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
later this evening. But what an impact he has already made. On | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
course to become the first British man to win an Olympic swimming title | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
for 28 years. But others are also in search of history. Cathryn Grainger | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
at 40 trying to win a fifth successful Olympic medal. She and | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
her partner have work to do. Second in their heat, edging them into the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
semifinals. At least their hopes are still afloat though, unlike Serbia's | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
men's pair, who capsized in the choppy conditions. Ever had that | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
sinking feeling? Britain's Ashley McKenzie does. His chances in the | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
judo ended in tears. Elsewhere, there were tears of joy. | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
USA's Virginia Thrasher winning the 10 metre air rifle. An Olympic | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
champion at just 19, not a bad way to start. Andy Swiss, BBC News, Rio. | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
Adam Peaty's roommate, James Guy has a chance of a medal later in the | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
pool in the final of the 400 metres freestyle. What of the men's road | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
race in cycling earlier on? Less than two weeks ago, Chris Froome won | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
his third Tour De France. Today he was bidding for a first Olympic | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
crown as Natalie Perks reports, it was one of the most dramatic road | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
races the Olympics has ever seen. It was the calmest of mornings, | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
as Rio's Olympic odyssey began. For Team GB, the road race offered | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
the first chance for honours. Chris Froome, fresh from making | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Tour De France history, It's been a momentous | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
summer for Chris Froome. The question now is: Can he add | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
an Olympic road race The start was picture perfect, | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
miles of flat, sandy beaches belying the fact Froome had described parts | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
of this course as savage. Once they hit the first lap | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
of the cobblestones, Olympic dreams dashed before | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
they'd even hit the hills. This race is about team work, | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
and Team GB were putting Double Olympic Gold Medallist | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Geraint Thomas emerging Whilst the riders grafted | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
in the mountains, security forces were doing their job on the ground, | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
carrying out a controlled explosion, after a bag was left unattended | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
metres from the finish line. Back on the hardest climb, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
the course looked beautiful, COMMENTATOR: Look at the damage that | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
he's done to himself. But poised for glory, the diying | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
descent claimed another victim. COMMENTATOR: Oh, | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
and there's a crash! The big pre-race favourite, | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Vincenzo Nibali, is on the ground. And then did the same | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
for Britain's best hope. COMMENTATOR: Geraint Thomas crashes | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
out of the Olympic Games A dramatic sprint finish | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
saw Belgium's Greg van Avermarter claim gold, | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
a disappointing day Froome will hope for much better | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
in the time trial on Wednesday. Attention will turn tomorrow to | :06:16. | :06:31. | |
Lizzie Armitsted's in the women's road race, after one of the most | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
difficult weeks of her career. She won an appeal against three missed | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
drugs test. One of those was scratched out. She won the right to | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
compete at these Games. It will be fascinating to see how she fares. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Later on in the early hours of Monday morning, Adam Peaty is | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
expected to be in that final trying to emulate Adrian Moorhouse who won | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
Britain's last men's swimming Olympic title back in 1988. Today | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
has been a reminder of the challenges that organisers face | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
here. There were the teething problems with crowds trying to get | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
into the Olympic Park earlier on. There was that controlled explosion | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
near the finishing line at the road race. There was the fact that there | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
was a stray bullet trot through a media tent at the equestrian venue. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Even tomorrow there will be more controversy when the international | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Paralympic committee is expected to decide that Russia will not be a | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
part of the Paralympic Games which followed this event in a few weeks. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Russia having escaped a total in these Games. They won their first | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
gold earlier on today in the judo competition. A reminder, once again, | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
in these Games in Rio, anything can happen. Dan thank you. | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
Dan Roan there in Rio for us. A man with a machete has | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
attacked two women police officers in Belgium, | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
shouting "God is the He was shot by a third officer | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
and subsequently died. It happened late this | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
afternoon in Charleroi. Officials are treating it | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
as a terrorist incident. Let's go live now to our | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
Europe correspondent, Damian Grammaticas, | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
who's in Brussels. What do we know? This evening, the | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Belgian Prime Minister is flying back here from his holiday in | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
France. He has already said that the indications are that this looks like | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
being a terrorist-related incident. The scene in the city of Charleroi, | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
about an hour or so's drive to the south of here in Brussels was sealed | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
off quickly by police this afternoon. This man at 4 o'clock | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
approached the central police station in the city. He was stopped | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
at a police check outside by two female police officers, produced a | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
machete from a bag and started attacking them. He was then shot | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
dead. Now those two police officers, one received serious injuries bu, | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
none of them are critical. Belgium has been on edge, of course, since | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
the Paris attacks, which were carried out by men, many of whom | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
came from here and then the Brussels attacks. Tonight, what we've heard | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
is that there is no new move to elevate the security levels here at | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
all. But the indications are it does seem to be terror related. Thank | :09:04. | :09:04. | |
you. A fire in a bar in France, | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
which killed 13 people, many of them teenagers, | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
is believed to have been started Officials described the blaze, | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
which swept through the party venue Police say the fire broke out around | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
midnight in the basement of the bar. It had been packed with young | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
people who'd come here Someone carrying the cake apparently | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
tripped down the stairs and fell. The candles and sparklers set off | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
the deadliest fire there's been Neighbours heard the shattering | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
of glass and thought at first it was an explosion, | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
another terrorist attack. TRANSLATION: There | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
was panic in the bar. Unfortunately those | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
in the basement didn't I think some of those | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
down stairs didn't burn, Police say the ceiling | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
of the basement had been sound proofed with material | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
which is reported to have caught fire with terrifying speed, | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
releasing poisonous fumes. We came here to have | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
a good time together. It's impossible to believe | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
that this has happened. 13 people in their late teens | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
and early 20s are dead and one is fighting for their life, | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
in a city still mourning the death of an elderly priest, | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
murdered by extremists last month. The investigation will focus | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
on whether the bar had The bodies of two British | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
climbers have been found on the Matterhorn in the Alps, | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
after they went missing The two men sent out an alert | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
yesterday when they got caught on the mountain, as storms came | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
in and temperatures plummeted. Italian rescue workers said | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
efforts to find them Their bodies were | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
recovered this morning. Here, a teenager charged | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
with carrying out a knife attack in London, which left an American | :11:06. | :11:08. | |

Alastair Leithead has the story. After days of waiting and watching | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
the changing colours of South Africa's political | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
landscape, a final result the The ANC, more than just | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
the party of liberation and the party of Nelson Mandela, | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
losing control of major urban centres, giving ground | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
to the opposition in its worst election result since | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
the end of apartheid. But it's seen as a referendum | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
on this man, President Jacob Zouma. Three years of his term remaining, | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
but embroiled in corruption scandals, he's failed to answer | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
the calls for change. I'm convinced if we work | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
together and harder, we will achieve our dream | :12:23. | :12:25. | |

there's been this in-fighting and corruption, nepotism, | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
all that has cost the ANC. Where I'm from, it's not | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
actually getting better. For the ANC, it's a shock rather | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
than a catastrophe, It's a party still supported by more | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
than half of South Africans. Many of its traditional voters | :13:25. | :13:30. | |

from the Olympics, here's Hugh Woozencroft at the BBC Sport | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
Centre. England have a lead of 311 runs | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
going into the final day of the third Test | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
against Pakistan at Edgbaston. A century partnership | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
from Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali has helped Alistair Cook's side | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
to 414-5 in their second innings, Could either side in this Test get | :14:16. | :14:29. | |
over the line? Pakistan had allowed England back into the game, but to | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
assess the side's true position, cricketing wisdom says you should | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
add two wickets to the total. That's what Pakistan did. First Alastair | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
Cook and then Alex Hales succumbed. Two men who'd added more than 100, | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
gone less than ten deliveries apart. England were only 23 ahead with | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
eight wickets remaining. No time and place for wrong turnings on the | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
pitch or in front of the screen. Sometimes there's nowhere to hide. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
Mohammed Afiz had a chance to get rid of Joe Root. It slipped from his | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
fingers. Runs became a rare luxury. Shots taken on only where there was | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
no risk. Root and James Vince were making Pakistan think, but then they | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
gave them the answers. All Root's concentration swept away in an | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
instant. Gone for 62. Vince had 42 when his judgment failed him. That's | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
happened before. After tea, England set about quietly adding to their | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
score, building as strong a lead as possible while trying to avoid | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
Pakistani traps. Gary balance lured into this one. England could sense | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
the bowlers were tired. Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali sensed a | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
change. The Scottish Premiership | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
got under way today. On their return to the top flight, | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
Rangers came from behind They were playing Hamilton | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
Academicals at Ibrox. Midfielder Ali Crawford struck | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
for the visitors after half an hour. But Martyn Waghorn claimed a point | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
for the Glasgow side, getting on the end of a great pass | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
from substitute Harry Forrester Elsewhere, Motherwell | :16:05. | :16:07. | |

sport from me, Kate. You can see more on all of today's | :16:18. | :16:30. | |
