:01:59. > :02:02.Park. Team GB beginning their bid for the most successful away Games
:02:03. > :02:05.in their history. No medals for them just yet. As Andy Swiss reports,
:02:06. > :02:09.there was a very special performance in the pool.
:02:10. > :02:16.Rio awoke to blue skies and high hopes. From the fans, who flocked in
:02:17. > :02:21.their thousands, creating long queues outside the Olympic Park, but
:02:22. > :02:39.above all, from the athletes. Among them one of Britain's brightest new

:02:40. > :02:40.and in the heats of the 100 metres breaststroke, he didn't just win, he

:02:41. > :02:42.made history. goodness economy! The first world
:02:43. > :02:47.record of the Games greeted with barely a nod. Surely it's time to
:02:48. > :02:50.get excited. I heard the crowd screaming more and more as I got
:02:51. > :02:56.towards the wall. Something dodgy going on here! Just enjoyed my first
:02:57. > :02:59.Olympic Games. Officially an Olympian now. It's great to get out
:03:00. > :03:03.here and enjoy the atmosphere. Adam Peaty will go in the semifinals

:04:16. > :04:20.race in cycling earlier on? Less than two weeks ago, Chris Froome won
:04:21. > :04:24.his third Tour De France. Today he was bidding for a first Olympic
:04:25. > :04:25.crown as Natalie Perks reports, it was one of the most dramatic road
:04:26. > :04:29.races the Olympics has ever seen. It was the calmest of mornings,
:04:30. > :04:31.as Rio's Olympic odyssey began. For Team GB, the road race offered
:04:32. > :04:34.the first chance for honours. Chris Froome, fresh from making
:04:35. > :04:38.Tour De France history, It's been a momentous
:04:39. > :04:44.summer for Chris Froome. The question now is: Can he add
:04:45. > :04:47.an Olympic road race The start was picture perfect,
:04:48. > :04:55.miles of flat, sandy beaches belying the fact Froome had described parts
:04:56. > :05:00.of this course as savage. Once they hit the first lap
:05:01. > :05:03.of the cobblestones, Olympic dreams dashed before
:05:04. > :05:12.they'd even hit the hills. This race is about team work,

:05:28. > :05:30.metres from the finish line. Back on the hardest climb,

:05:34. > :05:44.he's done to himself. But poised for glory, the diying
:05:45. > :05:49.descent claimed another victim. COMMENTATOR: Oh,
:05:50. > :05:53.and there's a crash! The big pre-race favourite,
:05:54. > :06:00.Vincenzo Nibali, is on the ground. And then did the same
:06:01. > :06:03.for Britain's best hope. COMMENTATOR: Geraint Thomas crashes
:06:04. > :06:07.out of the Olympic Games A dramatic sprint finish
:06:08. > :06:12.saw Belgium's Greg van Avermarter claim gold,
:06:13. > :06:15.a disappointing day Froome will hope for much better
:06:16. > :06:31.in the time trial on Wednesday. Attention will turn tomorrow to
:06:32. > :06:37.Lizzie Armitsted's in the women's road race, after one of the most
:06:38. > :06:39.difficult weeks of her career. She won an appeal against three missed
:06:40. > :06:44.drugs test. One of those was scratched out. She won the right to
:06:45. > :06:47.compete at these Games. It will be fascinating to see how she fares.
:06:48. > :06:53.Later on in the early hours of Monday morning, Adam Peaty is
:06:54. > :06:58.expected to be in that final trying to emulate Adrian Moorhouse who won
:06:59. > :07:03.Britain's last men's swimming Olympic title back in 1988. Today
:07:04. > :07:06.has been a reminder of the challenges that organisers face
:07:07. > :07:09.here. There were the teething problems with crowds trying to get
:07:10. > :07:12.into the Olympic Park earlier on. There was that controlled explosion
:07:13. > :07:17.near the finishing line at the road race. There was the fact that there
:07:18. > :07:22.was a stray bullet trot through a media tent at the equestrian venue.
:07:23. > :07:25.Even tomorrow there will be more controversy when the international
:07:26. > :07:30.Paralympic committee is expected to decide that Russia will not be a
:07:31. > :07:34.part of the Paralympic Games which followed this event in a few weeks.
:07:35. > :07:39.Russia having escaped a total in these Games. They won their first
:07:40. > :07:43.gold earlier on today in the judo competition. A reminder, once again,
:07:44. > :07:45.in these Games in Rio, anything can happen. Dan thank you.
:07:46. > :07:47.Dan Roan there in Rio for us. A man with a machete has

:07:53. > :07:57.and subsequently died. It happened late this
:07:58. > :07:59.afternoon in Charleroi. Officials are treating it
:08:00. > :08:01.as a terrorist incident. Let's go live now to our
:08:02. > :08:03.Europe correspondent, Damian Grammaticas,
:08:04. > :08:09.who's in Brussels. What do we know? This evening, the
:08:10. > :08:13.Belgian Prime Minister is flying back here from his holiday in
:08:14. > :08:17.France. He has already said that the indications are that this looks like
:08:18. > :08:22.being a terrorist-related incident. The scene in the city of Charleroi,
:08:23. > :08:24.about an hour or so's drive to the south of here in Brussels was sealed
:08:25. > :08:32.off quickly by police this afternoon. This man at 4 o'clock
:08:33. > :08:36.approached the central police station in the city. He was stopped
:08:37. > :08:39.at a police check outside by two female police officers, produced a
:08:40. > :08:44.machete from a bag and started attacking them. He was then shot
:08:45. > :08:48.dead. Now those two police officers, one received serious injuries bu,
:08:49. > :08:52.none of them are critical. Belgium has been on edge, of course, since
:08:53. > :08:55.the Paris attacks, which were carried out by men, many of whom
:08:56. > :08:59.came from here and then the Brussels attacks. Tonight, what we've heard
:09:00. > :09:03.is that there is no new move to elevate the security levels here at
:09:04. > :09:04.all. But the indications are it does seem to be terror related. Thank
