yeah, that's right. no power. so games organize has wanted to do something different with this mix ceremony, choosing not to hold in the stadium, but actually in the center of the city on the river said power as effectively transformed into a stage for all sorts of performance and all taste. we think dogs is on a roof tops and suspended above bridges. we've seen musicians appear and there's some things even in the sky, must have hauled drawer and smoke above the powers, rivers and thousands of athletes are cruising down the river country by country. the 1st a team to come out was the greek team because of tradition because the origins of the big games followed by the rest of the team, but many more looking happy and waving because this is such a spectacular and unique events. and of course, we've also seen some superstore performance. we sold the american sing,

a navy gall got rid of piano with, not for them behind. and we also sold the french, malia in stock. i and i can more, in much 35 works a to perform a whole story. so it is spectacular. it is what was promised so far. the only downside, you'd have to say is the weather because it is that sweetie pouring with rain. and of course, the sky is the gray, not the blue sky, some sunshine that the organizes a type full, but you call predicts and manage and control everything or you so it's in the car and it's actually a thanks so much for that as that's a ceremony a gets underway, how high speed trains in fonts was sabotaged the head of the opening ceremony. authorities reported damage to signaling and fires and civil sites. teams have been deployed to carry out her please. ms. smith has this report for embarrass, and it's impossible to fully secure thousands of kilometers of french railway lines . a weakness exposed by these attacks on crucial signaling equipment. this is quasi in northern france when

a full locations targeted with fires was set and cables caught some time on thursday night. it's a friday morning, april the high speed rail network to a halt across most of the country. multiple the civil there. today, all the information we have clearly shows that it was deliberate. the simultaneous nature vans were found from which people it fled, particularly in the southeast. this incendiary agents were found on site previous. everything now points to the fact that these were awesome attacks, particularly the timing which has more than a suspicious equipment on the travel plans of more than 800000 royal passengers. up in sabotaged lines, connecting powers to cities in the north east west. i'm the united kingdom have been affected. all travelers have been advised to postpone that journeys. what's the declared value? yeah, yeah, definitely. we have prepared ourselves. there are a lot of people in coal for the lengthy gains, but honestly we've thought that was multi and to being on the lines affected by the need be games and normal breakdowns. we didn't think we would have to mobilize,

but obviously we're going to repair already on the way. but the rail network is expected to be severely disrupted, at least until the end of the weekend. hey, the crippling of the railways is being saved as a clear attempt to overshadow the stock. james, there is unprecedented security. would you rather talk the trains pound of of ability, unexplored smith, alex's or the is really 5 digits of carried out a new wave of a strikes and cause a targeting various areas across the strip. at least 21 people were killed calling us in the south has been it the hardest. with thousands of displaced palestinians forced to flee. many families have been forced to move into symmetries and quarterly reports from darrell by law of the living now lives alongside the dead display several times. but is there any talks and evacuation orders?

these palestinians are forced to pitch tents in the symmetry, sometimes sleeping next to the graves of a person very thought they will live in gym, birmingham village shut off. i swear that i have seen a lot of dead people. i live here in the cemetery and i see thousands of bodies every day. i suffer too much on life is non stop suffering. but even the grim accommodation may be temporary, with israel's worth showing, no sign of ending, they could be forced to move again at any moment. the gods we move every day from one place to another displacement has almost killed us. we don't have money moving is expensive. we urge fire of countries and muslim nations to help us to stand with us. we need a solution. con unice has been completely destroyed. we ended up living with the dead in the cemetery all day and i'm kept. god only knows how we survived. shells

were coming towards us from everywhere. we live in a graveyard. we shared the space with good people. the living conditions here are only fits for the dead. there is no running water, no toilets, nothing that can being led to comfort cemetery is supposed to be a final resting place. perhaps the lucky one will be forced to move once again and survive. the lucky ones will be buried with their tense ones to handle the odyssey to the cause of palestine. a donald trump is made to is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu. what is mar logo on the florida? the former it was president called for a swift in to the war in gaza, and they made it for ton of captives. nothing now is said israel would send a negotiating team to cease 5 talks, enroll him at the beginning of the week. so to lead us for a close alliance during trumps hills in the white house, but they fell out when it's a now congratulated by didn't on his victory in the 2020 election of trump is false

. false. we claimed the election was stolen from him by vote afford let's go to full of l, who's following the story from palm beach in florida. oh, well, what most come out to that meeting a while to talk about bringing those is really hostages high and that was what donald trump said would happen. but of course not, but donald trump is not president even though he would like to be. he is effectively at the moment, still a civilian. yes, he is a nominate, but he's not in office, and this was as much a p all move as well as a political one for donald trump, because remember nothing you all who was already met the current president joe biden. he's met campbell of harris, the vice president's who stands a strong chance of becoming the nominate. i'm even the president. i'm that for donald trump had to make sure that he would seem to be with not in your to netanyahu as well. and we were told that this would be a close to a meeting, but because this is such an important meeting for him, because remember, donald trump could be president at the start of january,

but it's not beyond the realms of possibility. he had to make sure that that was a visual and therefore we got lots of videos and we saw the full, the president greets prime minister netanyahu and his wife at the steps of mara logo. he, in fact referred to a prime minister netanyahu his wife as his secret weapon. and then there was immediately lots of talk where he referred to camelot harris because he sees that as a threats. he said that her remarks yesterday when she met netanyahu white disrespectful just to remind you what those remarks. well, she said that she would not be silent on the issue of causes. she told the president that prime minister netanyahu to reach a deal. and she was set, we're told it was like i frank conversation, which usually means quite a test the exchange. but donald trump did not do that. he was very much in the count of, i am a friend of his royal, i am here to support his row at obviously netanyahu beach to make sure that he keeps both the democrats and the republicans on the side. because he doesn't know who is going to be dealing with in a few months time,

while the democrats are really having to struggle this line between being aware of the price of the people in gaza. because like seeds like the process, we saw the student protests, a few months. they seen the grubbing defense against israel in many parts of society, but also the official line as israel is made for it, backed up as the main office supplies as well. they have to also be seen to be supporting his ro, donald trump, the other hand is just getting oil out on his rails hoff. oh, full. trump will also say that his relationship with no to know is always been wrong. but that's what quite the case is it we, we outlined just a moment to go briefly that they had been some trouble. but how would things know? yeah, i mean donald trump often says things that you can look back and find when not necessarily the way he run remembers about phrase recollections may very right because they were very close allies. remember that joined the trump presidency. trump was very pro israel, he moves the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. he recognized is really suffering,

see over the golden heights. he was hard line on your run all things, but really excited to prime minister netanyahu. i'm, they work close. but as soon as the election happens at the start of november, as soon as nothing yahoo, cold president biden and said he was congratulating and that one's victory. that was it. because donald trump has never accepted the results of that election on him . it was premature. it was treacherous because prime minister netanyahu was acknowledging the donald trump was no longer president. of course, that was 4 years ago. donald trump has to be seen to be the man, because he says he's going to bring about peace in the middle east. he has to be seen to be the man who was talking to israel. and of course, you can only achieve peace in the middle east if you're talking to both sides, which is why, for both of them, it was really important that they have this meeting on people so that they have this meeting as well. all right, thanks for that. full eval in florida. oh, former us president barack obama and michelle obama have endorsed come out of

harrisburg to be the mixed president, the obama phone, the presumptive democratic party in albany. well, she was all competing to offer their support. and i am proud of you, this is going to be historic. we called to say, michelle, and i couldn't be prouder doors here to do everything we can to get you through the selection of and then so they all go off. oh, my goodness, michelle practice mean so much to me. i'm looking forward to doing this with the 2 of you know, that's across to ireland. fisher, who's live now from the white house. i don't know how much does the endorsement of the obama's, how, what kind of role could they play in terms of the vice president's campaign for the presidency? well, what we've just seen didn't just happen that it was all planned. certainly there was some concern that the obama has been immediately on sunday. so the weight behind come law does even though it,

you'll find that even though the clintons did as well and there was some thought, perhaps they wouldn't. but they saw the direction of travel for the democratic party on sunday. the said they wanted to see if the party would come up with a challenge at no other credible challenges appear. and seeing that everyone else was endorsing the obama as jumped in as well. it doesn't really impact come a lot of sheets signed up, most of the big names in the potty anyway. but the a bomb is, are still a big name, but no one is going to suddenly change and say, yeah, well, i'm definitely behind cumberland now because the a bomb is of there. and certainly you said no impact on our fundraising. she's continued to raise an incredible sum of money since sunday towards the campaign. what the obama is might do is bring this star power to the campaign sale between now and november. that will always work well with the democratic base. and so it's important, but really not hugely significant. they have no,

i did their voices to all the others. but thing time, well, how does for president? and i'm letting me know the democratic party is quite excited. all fired up. how does it translate to convincing those who might still be on the fence of those who might be a tool interested in voting? the democrats of go to bodies from the announcement. certainly after a convention, you expect there to be a bump in the polls. a donald trump perhaps enjoyed that for $1.00 to $3.00 days, and then suddenly all focus switched to the democrats to joe biden, to campbell harris. and that would be difficult for the republicans, but the democrats are boy, and by the decision that's being made. and remember, a lot of people didn't want either joe biden, or donald trump on the ticket for either side and the 2024 election. they wanted someone else. i know they've got it and it's up to campbell of how does to press home that advantage. if you're a democrat,

you're almost certainly going to vote for how does, if you're a republican trump, is essentially bank to vote. it's be on this site. it's in a number of swing states that will decide that, and that's what account lahardo and donald trump, i've got to in their efforts over the next few months. and certainly, the democrats have got a boost for the last couple of days. they can look for a boost when she announces who a vice president is going to be. and then she goes in to the democratic national convention where she can expect another one. she's got to continue writing this wave of momentum, all the way to november. easier said than done. all right, ellen fisher at the white house, thanks very much for that. the still ahead on al jazeera di phone, the main forces nearly 50000 people to evacuate eastern china. often during the sum of extreme with of the
