hi, sarah. the paris olympics have officially begun after an incredible opening ceremony in paris. a global audience of over one billion people are thought to have watched as the whole of central paris was turned into an open—air theatre. the ceremony included pop singer, lady gaga singing in french. it began with the french tricolor in fireworks, before a parade of boats carrying more than 10,000 athletes travelled down the river seine — starting with greece, the birthplace of the olympics. britain's flag—bearers were double gold medallist helen glover and diver tom daley. it's the first time the opening ceremony has not taken place in a stadium. well, canada's women's soccer head coach was not involved in the ceremony. bev priestman has been sent home and suspended from her role amidst the fallout from an alleged drone spying scandal. priestman voluntarily withdrew from the defending champion�*s opening game on thursday — a 2—1win over new zealand — but has now been suspended

for the remainder of the tournament. earlier this week, two canadian staff were sent home after a drone was flown over new zealand's training, but canada soccer says it's discovered evidence of previous drone use predating the paris games. one of the key pieces of information was the conclusion from canada soccer that she needed to be suspended based on their accumulation of facts. i've seen some of them, some of the information they have. and we've gathered some additional information ourselves that made me conclude that she was highly likely to have been aware of the incidents. away from the olympics, it's been a topsy—turvy day at edgbaston so far, with ebbs and flows throughout the first two session of the third test between england and west indies. the windies won the toss and elected to bat, then put on 76

for the first wicket, with kraigg brathwaite making 61. a flurry of wickets either side of lunch left them 115—5. jason holder and josh da silva have stopped the rot. at stumps on day one, england were 38—3. michael english hit a century on his debut to help scotland to a convincing 138—run win over namibia in their cricket world cup league 2 fixture at forthill, sharing a third wicket partnership of 170 with richie berrington as the home side made 301—6 from their 50 overs. namibia started badly. they were 9—3 in the sixth and were bowled out for 163 in the 41st over, brad currie taking 3—25. after the drama of the hungarian grand prix, mclaren drivers lando norris and oscar piastri were once again fighting for top spot, this time in practice for the belgian grand prix. having handed over the win last week, this time it was norris who came out on top, two tenths of a second

quicker than piastri. championship leader max verstappen was third, but he'll take a ten—place grid drop on sunday for exceeding his permitted engine components. england defender harry maguire says criticism of their performances at the european championship is "a bit ridiculous". while they did make it to the final, gareth southgate�*s side came under fire for their style of play, drawing with denmark and slovenia in the group stages. yeah, the performances might not have been amazing, but it's tournament football. and tournament football is different to league football. i just don't know what the media or fans expected of this team, to go to beat serbia on the first game and beat them 4—0 and then beat denmark 3—0 and thought it would just be a walk in the park, and winning the tournament.

i couldn't quite understand what the expectation was. more from that interview on the bt sport website but that is the sport for now. —— bbc sport website. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has been holding talks with donald trump, aiming to shore up support ahead of the upcoming us election. mr netanyahu visited the former president at his residence in mar—a—lago, florida, marking their first talks in nearly four years. mr trump said he has "always had a very good relationship" with mr netanyahu and emphasised the need for the immediate release of israeli hostages as he spoke at the end of that meeting. joining me now is democratic strategistjoi chaney. hello to you, thanks forjoining us here on bbc news. we heard their donald trump saying that they have always had a very good relationship. is that strictly true? it's been quite, located between him and mr

netanyahu. hi. quite, located between him and mr netan ahu. , netanyahu. hi, it is quite complicated. _ netanyahu. hi, it is quite complicated. if— netanyahu. hi, it is quite complicated. if i - netanyahu. hi, it is quite complicated. ifi recall. netanyahu. hi, it is quite - complicated. if i recall correctly, they had a good relationship while he was in office but afterwards because prime minister netanyahu called president biden and offered him congratulations on his wind, president trump was somehow mad about that. so that destroyed the relationship, which is really disappointing that we would make things personal. but, yes, it looks like they are trying to restore that relationship. like they are trying to restore that relationship-— relationship. what do you make of the picture — relationship. what do you make of the picture is _ relationship. what do you make of the picture is in _ relationship. what do you make of the picture is in the _ relationship. what do you make of the picture is in the words - relationship. what do you make of the picture is in the words that - the picture is in the words that came out of that meeting? you know, it was not a — came out of that meeting? you know, it was not a lot _ came out of that meeting? you know, it was not a lot of _ came out of that meeting? you know, it was not a lot of substance _ came out of that meeting? you know, it was not a lot of substance he - it was not a lot of substance he came out of it. i was little disappointed to hear president trump criticise a sitting american president. here in this country, we only have one president at a time and in this case one vice president also at a time, so to see him criticise the american president in front of a foreign leader on such a large stage will disappointing, but frankly not unexpected. what is clear is that everyone, whether

you're in the donald trump camp or the biden— harris camp, want to see an end to this conflict. for the biden— harris camp, it is not seem to be about pr but seem to be about safety and security of people in the region. both the israelis and the hostages is well as so many palestinians in those who live in gaza who have been caught in this conflict. �* ., ., , ., ~' conflict. and how do you think the d namic conflict. and how do you think the dynamic would — conflict. and how do you think the dynamic would change _ conflict. and how do you think the dynamic would change should - conflict. and how do you think the i dynamic would change should donald trump regain the presidency in november? according to him, he said to mr netanyahu, if we win, it will be very simple and it will all work out very quickly. i be very simple and it will all work out very quickly-— be very simple and it will all work out very quickly. i don't even know what that means. _ out very quickly. i don't even know what that means. there _ out very quickly. i don't even know what that means. there are - out very quickly. i don't even know| what that means. there are people betting in vegas about what that means, but what we hope is that no matter who is the american president, we would be using our influence, you know, over israel in the region and frankly with the amount of money that we give every year to say we would like to see an end to this, the american voter

would like to see an end of this, both jewish and would like to see an end of this, bothjewish and muslim voters and everyone else what to see an end of this. so for the biden— harris administration, that is been very clear they would like a two state solution in the long term and they would like a cease—fire in the short term. president trump has been less clear on what his strategy would be, but i know that that's what the biden— harris administration would hope for and i'm hoping that that's where we will be. 5m? hope for and i'm hoping that that's where we will be.— where we will be. stay with this because i want _ where we will be. stay with this because i want to _ where we will be. stay with this because i want to get _ where we will be. stay with this because i want to get your - where we will be. stay with this - because i want to get your thoughts on this. well, in the last 2a hours, former president barack 0bama has endorsed the vice president, kamala harris, in the race for the white house. in a phone call, mr 0bama and his wife michelle said they would do everything to get her into the oval office.

let's return to democratic strategistjoi chaney. a lot has been said about in the amount of time it's taken for the 0bama us to endorse kamala harris and the fact that it was via phone call and a statement was released but some still suggesting it was a

bit lukewarm in the end. you know what comes _ bit lukewarm in the end. you know what comes people _ bit lukewarm in the end. you know what comes people say _ bit lukewarm in the end. you know what comes people say anything. l bit lukewarm in the end. you know. what comes people say anything. at the end of the day, we are all swimming in the right direction, we are all supportive of vice president harris in this new role at the top of the ticket, president biden, president 0bama, president clinton. and theirfirst ladies. president 0bama, president clinton. and their first ladies. so we are thrilled about that. i am sure that part of it was trying to make this a momentous occasion and to spread out some of these endorsements over time. everything does not have to be the first day, and so it was great to be able to see him come in at this moment after she's clinched the nomination and frankly also after president biden has had his moment and officially spoken from the oval office, i thinkjust giving that time and now adding this to the mix is the cherry on top. so i was thrilled to see it and is momentous and meaningful to have the first black president in a sense

acknowledging and passing the torch to who could be the first female president, also a woman of colour, and so that meant a lot for us. find and so that meant a lot for us. and there have — and so that meant a lot for us. and there have been polls which have been released, a new york times poll came out yesterday which showed that the gap between the republican and democratic presidential hopefuls has narrowed. what difference has kamala harris entering the race, what difference has it made for the democrats and their strategy? yeah, it's made a huge _ democrats and their strategy? yeah, it's made a huge difference. - democrats and their strategy? yeah, it's made a huge difference. look, i l it's made a huge difference. look, i was on who believed that president biden could have peaked it out, but we are in a position now of notjust eating it out. we are in a position of completely having a very strong showing in officially putting down that maga rhetoric, that maga position as people are doing all over the world. we don't want authority or gnash authoritarianism

any more. we have the opportunity to really embrace that come a much more exciting campaign in a much more hopeful campaign, very much for the future, people who may not have felt satisfied with their choice but to be president trippe president biden who are now going to be very excited about the possibility of taking a look at vice president harris was up i think you've already seen in some of the early poles with this is very early, right? ithink of the early poles with this is very early, right? i think we are going to see even more of a gap and more of a spread as we go in, so i'm very excited and probably more energised and more excited than i've been in a long time. in and more excited than i've been in a lona time. ., , and more excited than i've been in a lona time. . , ., , and more excited than i've been in a lona time. ., , ., , ., ., long time. in any thoughts on who should be her— long time. in any thoughts on who should be her running _ long time. in any thoughts on who should be her running mate - long time. in any thoughts on who | should be her running mate should she get the nomination? you should be her running mate should she get the nomination?— she get the nomination? you know what let me _ she get the nomination? you know what let me tell _ she get the nomination? you know what let me tell you, _ she get the nomination? you know what let me tell you, we _ she get the nomination? you know what let me tell you, we have - she get the nomination? you know what let me tell you, we have an l what let me tell you, we have an embarrassment of riches. i think that the vice president should be looking very closely at who can fill gaps that she might have in terms of states. we want to make sure that we are showing up states at the end of the day and no matter how excited we are, you have to win. the moment

means nothing if in the end of the day in november we don't have a democratic win, so we get to do the maths and we have to figure out what states we need and we need a vice president who can help us deliver that state. he needed vice president it can be a governing partner to her, you need a vice president who she has chemistry with. i think we have several candidates, several, several candidates in the mix, many of them governors and at least one senator he would be very exciting. right now they tend to be white men, but you know... i right now they tend to be white men, but you know- - -_ but you know... i sense you are not auoin to but you know... i sense you are not going to give _ but you know... i sense you are not going to give me — but you know... i sense you are not going to give me a _ but you know... i sense you are not going to give me a single _ but you know... i sense you are not going to give me a single name. - but you know... i sense you are not| going to give me a single name. i'm not auoin going to give me a single name. in not going to give you a single name, but i'm going to tell you i am looking at personally maybe a josh shapiro at a pennsylvania or a governor cooper at a north carolina who seems excited, and also on border issues i think adding mark kelly from arizona would also be exciting. so the bottom line is i'm not sure we can have a bad choice. 0k, not sure we can have a bad choice. ok, i'll take those three. it's a

really good to talk to you, thanks so much for your thoughts. thanks so much. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

you're watching the context on bbc news. president biden has welcomed the arrests of two notorious leaders of mexico's sinaloa cartel in texas. ismael zambada, known as el mayo, was earlier charged by us prosecutors with conspiracy to make and distribute fentanyl, the drug that has been blamed for the us opioid crisis. arrested with him was joaquin guzman lopez, son of the jailed kingpin el chapo guzman. the pair were detained when their plane landed in texas in an apparent sting operation. fentanyl is a painkiller 50 times more powerful than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine. overdoses of the synthetic opioid are responsible for more than 70,000 drug—related deaths

in the us every year. zambada's lawyer says the 76—year—old has pleaded not guilty to all charges in el paso federal court. attorney frank perez says he did not surrender voluntarily and was brought against his will. us attorney general merrick garland said the arrests showed the authorities were determined to crack down on the sinaloa cartel. el mayo and guzman lopezjoin a growing list of sinaloa cartel leaders and associates who thejustice department is holding accountable in the united states. this includes the cartel�*s other co—founder, el chapo, another of el chapo's sons and alleged cartel leader, ovidio guzman lopez, and the cartel�*s alleged lead sicario — or assassin — known as el nini. fentanyl is the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced.

thejustice department will not rest until every single cartel leader, member and associate responsible for poisoning our communities is held accountable. we can cross live to washington to speak to steven dudley, co—founder and co—director of insight crime, a us think tank that seeks to deepen and inform the debate about organised crime. hello to you come in muchjoining us here on bbc news. hello to you come in much “oining us here on bbc newsh here on bbc news. sure, thank you for havin: here on bbc news. sure, thank you for having me- _ here on bbc news. sure, thank you for having me. take _ here on bbc news. sure, thank you for having me. take us _ here on bbc news. sure, thank you for having me. take us to _ here on bbc news. sure, thank you for having me. take us to have - for having me. take us to have sniffin: for having me. take us to have sniffing in _ for having me. take us to have sniffing in terms _ for having me. take us to have sniffing in terms the _ for having me. take us to have sniffing in terms the war- for having me. take us to have sniffing in terms the war on - sniffing in terms the war on drugs these two arrests are.— sniffing in terms the war on drugs these two arrests are. certainly on a symbolic — these two arrests are. certainly on a symbolic level, _ these two arrests are. certainly on a symbolic level, extremely - a symbolic level, extremely significant. obviously this is a historical— significant. obviously this is a historical figure, significant. obviously this is a historicalfigure, ismaelzambada historical figure, ismael zambada for some — historical figure, ismael zambada for some he's historicalfigure, ismaelzambada for some he's been around for almost five decades, so an incredible career— five decades, so an incredible career that really starts in the happy— career that really starts in the poppy fields themselves, marijuana fields, _ poppy fields themselves, marijuana

and obviously horrible to note, but hopefully this means that something might be done about it. it is of course the olympics ceremony which is carrying on in paris at the moment most of it is a bit wet, it is a bit drizzly, but it is the olympics and is the star of two weeks of locally sporting magic. we willjust weeks of locally sporting magic. we will just leave you weeks of locally sporting magic. we willjust leave you with this beautiful picture. join us again at the top of the hour. hello again. scotland and northern ireland saw quite a few showers during friday, and this was one of those shower clouds working across the horizon in highland. now, there will be more of these showers to come on saturday, but by sunday, we see a big change in our weather patterns as it becomes drier, sunnier and warmer. and the change is all down to the jet stream, which is also going to change. now, on saturday, we've got this trough pattern — that encourages air to rise and showers to form, but by sunday, the jet

stream has this pattern, which has a ridge. that encourages air to descend down through the atmosphere, and as that happens, the clouds evaporate and we get an area of high pressure forming. here comes the high on sunday — it's going to bring us several days of fine, sunny and warm weather. now, before we get there, still a few showers to come through this evening, mostly across western scotland, probably a spell of rain for a time in northern ireland overnight. otherwise, clear spells temperatures about 9—13 celsius, so it's not too cold to start to the day on saturday — maybe a few early—morning mist and fog patches across parts of wales and western england around the coast and hills. showers then move in quickly to these western areas through the afternoon. probably the heaviest showers will be across east scotland and northeast england, but nowhere is immune from seeing an odd downpour. still, there will be some pleasant july spells of sunshine between and temperatures near average. it will feel warm in that sunshine. it's by sunday as that area of high pressure builds across the uk. the weather becomes dry for the vast majority of the country. a bit of patchy cloud, maybe an odd shower for shetland — that's about it.

and temperatures for most of us reach the low 20s, feeling pleasantly warm, but up to 26 towards southeast england. that's going to start to feel, i think, very warm, really. on into monday's forecast — again, the high pressure's hanging around, so for most of us, it's anotherfine, dry, settled sunny day. maybe an odd shower coming into the hebrides, otherwise fine. and those temperatures 20s again — 22 for aberdeen, 21 for belfast but we're up to 28 degrees in london area. i wouldn't be too surprised if we saw somewhere across eastern england early next week threaten the 30—degree mark. but it looks like we'll see a spell of thundery rain start to move up from france as we head into the middle of the week. so, the northwest of the uk, probably a change to more generally unsettled weather conditions by the time we get to thursday.

hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. this is france putting its best foot forward, and it's saying, "this is us, this is what we represent." i think olympics are amazing. this is my fourth now, my fourth olympics, and they're all a bit like a fever dream. it will probably be until monday before the actual technical change has been made and the cables have been reinstalled and tested and so on and that trains are running normally again. so no—one should be under any expectation that if they have a ticket booked this weekend on the tgv, that they're

going to be able to take it in any kind of normal fashion. it's just a bit stressful. it makes me, like, a bit worried that when we get there, - it'sjust going to be a bit chaotic, basically, and not quite the halfl day off work i was expecting. but i'm hoping to get there. on tonight's panel: brian taylor, political commentator for the herald — and julie harris, president of the national federation of republican women. first — the latest headlines. the opening ceremony for the paris olympics is under way, an unprecedented and ambitious show with up to 7000 competitors parading by boat down the river seine past the french capital's historic monuments. it's the first time in olympic history that the opening ceremony is taking place outside the main stadium. the french intelligence services

are leading the hunt for those who disrupted the build—up to the opening ceremony
