in the city, as we saw from the opening ceremony last night on the seine. rain�*s caused delays, and even postponement of the skateboarding. but the weather hasn't put a dampener on team gb, who were in the medals on day one. the slick conditions affecting riders in the road race, but anna henderson came away with a superb silver in the time trial. but disappointment for young josh tarling, who just missed out in the men's race. natalie pirks was there. if locals were hung over from the opening ceremony party, it seems the weather was, too.— weather was, too. parisian rain had ersisted weather was, too. parisian rain had persisted through _ weather was, too. parisian rain had persisted through the _ weather was, too. parisian rain had persisted through the night, - weather was, too. parisian rain had| persisted through the night, making for slippy conditions in the road race time trial. film. for slippy conditions in the road race time trial.— for slippy conditions in the road race time trial. ~ ., race time trial. oh, the world road race time trial. oh, the world road race champion _ race time trial. oh, the world road race champion having _ race time trial. oh, the world road race champion having to _ race time trial. oh, the world road race champion having to pick- race time trial. oh, the world road | race champion having to pick herself up race champion having to pick herself up off the road. race champion having to pick herself up off the road-— race champion having to pick herself up off the road. anna henderson was a britishjunior_ up off the road. anna henderson was a british junior ski _ up off the road. anna henderson was a british junior ski slalom _ a british junior ski slalom champion. a british junior ski slalom champion-— a british junior ski slalom champion. a british junior ski slalom chamion. ,, , ., champion. sets off on the roane state roads _ champion. sets off on the roane state roads of _ champion. sets off on the roane state roads of central _ champion. sets off on the roane state roads of central paris. - champion. sets off on the roane state roads of central paris. but| champion. sets off on the roane | state roads of central paris. but a broken leg _ state roads of central paris. but a broken leg as _ state roads of central paris. but a broken leg as a — state roads of central paris. but a broken leg as a teenager - state roads of central paris. but a broken leg as a teenager prompted a change of sport. it turns out she is rather good at cycling. fastest by

and there was drama in the morning today from there, as great britain took bronze, thanks to yasmin harper and scarlett mewjensen — a first female diving medal in more than 60 years for them, to get gb off the mark. katie gornall has more. the wait was agonising, the odds against them. but they say in diving, anything can happen, and it did. oh, beautiful. very nicely done. yasmin harper and scarlett mewjensen only started diving together last year. they already move as one. out in front were the chinese pair. they are three—times and current world champions. gold for them was rarely in doubt. the british duo were sixth, with two dives to go, but a strong final dive lifted them into third position. they saved their biggest and best dive till last. australia were expected to pip them to the podium with their final dive, but in this sport, there is no room for error. it's not enough for a medal for the australians, and that means there's going to be

an olympic medal for great britain. that horrible mistake meant harper and mewjensen had won bronze, and britain's first medal of these games, all the more remarkable given the injury that nearly prevented mewjensen from making it to paris at all. i am very much lost for words. um, a month ago, i didn't think i was going to be able to be here. i got a back fracture. so, yeah, to be up on the board and to come away with that is just like, i can't imagine anything better. we came into this event knowing that this is what we want, but we had to stand on the boards today and deliver. and i'm so proud that we were able to do that. well, for much of this competition here, it looked like scarlett mewjensen and yasmin harper would fall short. but that dramatic twist means they become the first women to secure an olympic diving medal for britain in more than 60 years.

bronze medallists... it takes talent and resilience to succeed at an olympic games and, sometimes, a bit of luck too. katie gornall, bbc news, in paris. so drama, then, on the first day, no doubt plenty more of it ahead. there's action to come later. our sports news correspodnent laura scottjoins me now. day i well under way, laura. fair to say it's been a good start for team gb. yes. exactly. it has been a very busy day. i am at the gymnastics where they are preparing for the evening session. earlier today, we had the great britain men �*steam in action in qualification. and after they came off all the apparatus, it seems like they were mightily relieved to have got qualification done and dusted. they did a brilliantjob. but it is such a delicate balance of qualifiers between doing enough to get through to the team final and individual apparatus final and not doing too much that you make a mistake that proves costly. and it was a really good day forjake jarman on the floor. he currently sits top of the

standings after eight countries have performed. he is typically also incredibly strong on the fault. but he faces a nervous wait to see if he has done enough. but his team—mate harry hepworth put in a very solid performance and he looks like he will qualify. then it could be a very special game is indeed for max whitlock and he was very good on the pommel behind me. he is trying to become the first gymnast to win a medal on the same apparatus, the pommel, at four successive games. he said he had been really nervousjust waiting for today to come around. and now they have done enough as a team to get through to the final. that is ahead of tonight polymers session when four more countries take to the apparatus behind me. —— tonight's session. away from the gymnastics, a good day for the men's hockey team who put in a convincing win against spain for —— 4—0. they hope to get the first men's hockey

gold for team gb since in seoul in 1988. in rowing, the british crews all got through the heats. so they have done plenty to get through to the later rounds. in the equestrian, it was a really important day for the event riders because they are trying to defend their gold medal from tokyo. laura collett put in a stunning dressage test to break the olympic record with a score ofjust 17.5 penalties and she was punching the air as she finished. so she sits in individual gold and the tea martin gould as they head into tomorrow's very influential crosscountry day. they will hope the rain stops so they can put the best hooves forward to marry in versailles. —— the team gold. the weather has been impacting some sport, laura? absolutely. you heard earlier that it caused havoc on the streets for the cycling time trial. that is not the cycling time trial. that is not the only impact the rain has had

today. first thing this morning, we heard the men's street skateboarding had been postponed because of the rain. it simply wasn't safe for the athletes to take to that venue. so they have postponed that until monday. it has also caused havoc with the schedule on the tennis because only the two main courts have rooves. so only six matches today have been completed. none of the brits have been able to play their matches. and it will also undoubtedly have had an impact on the river quality in the seine. that is being closely monitored for the triathlon. tomorrow is important, a familiarisation day for the triathlon swimmers in the seine. the meeting will take place at 4am tomorrow local time to decide whether that can go ahead, head of the event starting on tuesday. thank ou ve the event starting on tuesday. thank you very much _ the event starting on tuesday. thank you very much indeed. _ the event starting on tuesday. thank you very much indeed. laura - the event starting on tuesday. thank you very much indeed. laura scott. laura scott there, with what's been happening so far.

and we've got plenty to look forward to at the aquatics centre, with medals at stake in the swimming. adam peaty is in semi—final action too. our sports editor dan roan is there for us. dan, a big night for peaty later? yes, it is a huge night and an even bigger one as long as it qualifies for the final tomorrow. but he has that semifinal this evening first. he of course was the olympic champion in a men's 100 he of course was the olympic champion in a men's100 metre breaststroke in rio in 2016 and also tokyo five years later back in 2021. and now he is trying to win an unprecedented third. becoming the first man in history if he does it to win that breaststroke discipline at three successive olympic games. he cruised through qualifying earlier on today, winning his heat in a time of 51.18 seconds. he was second fastest qualifying overall. what will be a boost to him as he was faster than his main rival the chinese world champion kin hiring. peaty is trying to continue this

remarkable comeback. he stepped away from the sport after suffering a sport injury in 2022. he decided to have time out to prioritise his mental health. but now he is back testing himself once again in olympic waters for the first time since tokyo. it will be fantastic to see how he gets on this evening and as long as it all goes to plan tomorrow as well. this is what he said earlier after that successful qualifier. it is not about where you are placed, _ it is not about where you are placed, it _ it is not about where you are placed, it is you want to get out there _ placed, it is you want to get out there you _ placed, it is you want to get out there. you want to make the semi final in_ there. you want to make the semi final ina— there. you want to make the semi final in a good lane which we have, not much more really to report. it is very— not much more really to report. it is very surprising it is towards the 59 mark, — is very surprising it is towards the 59 mark, but everyone is playing the same _ 59 mark, but everyone is playing the same game — 59 mark, but everyone is playing the same game-— same game. plenty more medals to come in the — same game. plenty more medals to come in the swimming. _ same game. plenty more medals to come in the swimming. the - same game. plenty more medals to come in the swimming. the first. same game. plenty more medals to come in the swimming. the first of| come in the swimming. the first of the year so far. what we have in store and what can we look forward to? , ., , . to? -- first of the games. well, british hopes — to? -- first of the games. well, british hopes i _ to? -- first of the games. well, british hopes i think—

summer mcintosh as well. so that is quite a prospect later on this evening. quite a prospect later on this evenina. ., , �* quite a prospect later on this evenina. . , �* ., quite a prospect later on this evenina. , , �* . ., quite a prospect later on this evenin.. . , �* . . , , ., evening. team gb have had plenty of su ort in evening. team gb have had plenty of support in the — evening. team gb have had plenty of support in the run-up _ evening. team gb have had plenty of support in the run-up to _ evening. team gb have had plenty of support in the run-up to the - evening. team gb have had plenty of support in the run-up to the games. | support in the run—up to the games. non—more so than by minister keir starmer. non-more so than by minister keir starmer. ., �* , non-more so than by minister keir starmer. . �* , ., , starmer. that's right. he was spending _ starmer. that's right. he was spending some _ starmer. that's right. he was spending some time - starmer. that's right. he was spending some time at - starmer. that's right. he was spending some time at team | starmer. that's right. he was - spending some time at team gb's performance lodge at their training camp in the town of clean sheet on the outskirts of paris. he was at the outskirts of paris. he was at the opening ceremony braving the downpour with us and other dignitaries last night. on the seine. i had a chance to speak to him about team gb's prospects here. we've got incredible talent and some of the big, big supporter of as much sport as we can get in the uk and to bring it through the uk, because team gb is an incredible team. we've been here at the performance camp this morning watching the boxing training, thejudo training. there is something special

about these teams that is very special to our country. you really appreciate notjust the hard yards they have already put in, but this vital next stage. i have been saying the whole country will been saying the whole country will be watching you, because we will. that is great for them because they know the country is behind them. it adds a bit to the pressure. but they are an incredible team of athletes going into this and they are full of hope, determination, but also, i really detected a calm confidence that they bring to what they do, which is i think that necessary added ingredient. the which is i think that necessary added ingredient.— which is i think that necessary added incredient. ~ , added ingredient. the prime minister sir keir starmer _ added ingredient. the prime minister sir keir starmer talking _ added ingredient. the prime minister sir keir starmer talking to _ added ingredient. the prime minister sir keir starmer talking to me - sir keir starmer talking to me earlier today. meanwhile, we are in the la defense arena on the outskirts of paris. it is quite a remarkable facility for aquatic sport. 17,500 seater capacity. 100

years ago would you believe in paris last hosted the olympics, the summer in competition took place in the river seine. on this occasion, it is taking place in what is usually a rugby ground. the largest indoor sporting arena in europe, or at least, one of them. they have converted it from the home of one of france's top rugby clubs into the swimming facility for the duration of these games. and those lucky enough to be here should be in for a treat this evening and indeed tomorrow. thank you very much indeed. fifa have issued a six—point deduction to canada at the olympic women's football tournament after they were found to have flone a drone over new zealand's training session on monday. canada's head coach beverly priestman has also been banned from any football—related activity for a year — along with her assistant, joseph lombardi, and analystjasmine manger. fifa have also imposed a fine in upwards of £176,000 on the canada soccer association. the decision remains subject to a potential appeal before the court of arbitration for sport. let's have a quick look at some

of the other stories making the headlines today. the first gold medal of the games was won by the teenage duo from china in the 10m air rifle competition. reigning world champions huang yuting, who is only 17 years old, and 19—year—old sheng lihao beat south korea in the team event. in tennis, world number1 iga swiatek began her quest for gold with a 6—2, 7—5 win over romanian's irina—camelia begu. she fought back from 5—4 in the second set, before eventaully sealing the victory. novak djokovic also progressed. and the hosts are also off the mark, as shirine boukli won france's first medal of the games. a bronze in the women's 48kg judo event, beating spain's laura martinez in overtime. over in the men's 60kg event, the french picked up a silver medal through luka mkheidze. england are back on top in the third and final test against west indies,

after captain ben stokes, joe root and wicketkeeper jamie smith helped them recover to a 94—run first innings lead. a day to remember for root, his half century saw him overtake west indies legend brian lara on the all—time test runscorers list, and move into 7th place. reginaldo rosario reports. blue skies over edgbaston, but england were in a grey area heading into day two. already three wickets down and some way behind the curve. their task was not getting easier. only pope and harry brook removed in quick succession. the west indies in full flight. england is teetering on 54-5. full flight. england is teetering on 54—5. enter ben stokes, leading from the front and going on the counterpunch. the captain and joe root put together a century partnership, taking england through to lunch 125 behind. root was passed 50 and this boundary sent him passed the milestone. 12,000 test runs, for acknowledgement, back to the task at

hand. but england's style brings errors. stokes taking one risk too many. a gift for kraigg brathwaite. the skipper god for 54, frustration is clear to see. root kept ticking over to 87. the spinner made the long walk back. butjamie smith took centre stage after tea. racing passed 50 and sending england into a first—innings lead. five short of a maiden test century, he was cruelly denied by variable bounce. england eight downs —— eight down and soon all out. chris woakes's 62 the final resistance. england with a slender lead and momentum woakes carried into the bill over and brathwaite's stomps a perfect start to the final hour of play. and the west indies 30-2 in hour of play. and the west indies 30—2 in the closing stages of the day. in the women's hundred, london spirit made it two wins from two, with a dominant 20—run win

over birmingham pheonix. meg lanning scored highest with the bat for spirit, making 53 to help set their opponents a target of 148. it proved too much for pheonix with the dismissal of their captain ellyse perry on 65 aiding spirit's route to victory at lord's. birmingham phoenix's wait for a win goes on. salford red devils have picked up their first super league win in three matches to boost their play—off ambitions. they beat castleford tigers by 30 points to 22, in a thrilling see—saw contest at salford community stadium. the win moves them up to fourth in the table, four points off the top. catalans dragons are currently taking on hull fc in the day's other match. for the third year in a row, max verstappen was the quickest driver in qualifying for this weekend's belgian grand prix. but he won't start this race from pole. changing the engine in his red bull means the dutchman takes a ten—place penalty and will drop to eleventh on the grid. instead, ferrari's charles leclerc

will start from the front, as nick parrott reports. there is nowhere quite like sparv rejuvenating max verstappen. in recent weeks, his red bull has looked a little lame as he struggled to keep up with us. but he bounced backin to keep up with us. but he bounced back in belgium. despite the rain, this was plain sailing for the dutchman, who delighted his fans as he finished more than half a second ahead of ferrari's charles leclerc. it was a very positive day for us. i know how it is not going to be how it is tomorrow. we optimise everything from our side for tomorrow. i hope the tyres are going tomorrow. i hope the tyres are going to hold up. and then hopefully at least, we can fight with ferrari and mercedes. mclaren, i don't know. there might be a little bit out of reach, but we will find out tomorrow. it reach, but we will find out tomorrow— reach, but we will find out tomorrow. ., , ., ,, , tomorrow. it was no fluke. his red bull team-mate _ tomorrow. it was no fluke. his red bull team-mate sergio _ tomorrow. it was no fluke. his red bull team-mate sergio perez - tomorrow. it was no fluke. his red bull team-mate sergio perez went| bull team—mate sergio perez went third quickest to make up for crashing out in a wet qualifying in hungary last weekend. in crashing out in a wet qualifying in hungary last weekend.— hungary last weekend. in these conditions. _ hungary last weekend. in these conditions, it's _ hungary last weekend. in these conditions, it's easy _ hungary last weekend. in these conditions, it's easy for - hungary last weekend. in these conditions, it's easy for it - hungary last weekend. in these conditions, it's easy for it to - hungary last weekend. in these conditions, it's easy for it to go | conditions, it's easy for it to go wrong — conditions, it's easy for it to go wrong as_ conditions, it's easy for it to go wrong as it _ conditions, it's easy for it to go wrong. as it has been going in the last few_ wrong. as it has been going in the last few qualifying is in these

are in the first half at the moment with one will have to go. the halves are not long. france have got superstar antoine dupont. the bronze medal—match between south africa and australia. that has finished. south africa came out on top with a try in the last seconds of the game, to come third. a quick recap from today at the olympics. first up, bronze in the diving, with yasmin harper and scarlett mewjensen in the women's 3m springboard earlier. a superb start for them. then in the cycling time trial, anna henderson came second, in a drenched and treacherous circuit. silver, behind a dominant grace brown of australia. hard lines forjosh tarling in the men's — he came 4th. and lots to look forward to later, with swimming semis and finals. and boxing. you can, of course, keep across all on bbc one, the red button and website etc. as well as the iplayer. that is it, thank you for watching. see you again very soon indeed.

hello. the sunshine's a little hit and miss today. it was really quite sunny earlier on, but a weather front is approaching, if it hasn't reached you already. and that does mean a rather overcast afternoon and some outbreaks of rain. most of them shouldn't last very long, should be quite fleeting. now, here's the satellite picture and the radar — where you see the blobs of blue, that's where it's been raining. notice quite a few showers there across parts of northern england, especially the lake district and into southern scotland as well. but they are showers, so they don't last for very long. and that does mean that for most of us, it should be a dry day. the best of the sunshine, i think, along the south coast of england. and actually, come the afternoon, it should brighten up in the west as well. temperatures fairly modest — 22 or 23 in the south—east, mostly the high teens elsewhere.

now, this evening and overnight, those clouds will melt away and we'll have a clear night. a bit of mist and fog forming by the early hours of sunday. and the temperatures first thing hovering around the mid—teens in the south—east of england, about ten or so in the lowlands of scotland. and actually, tomorrow promises to be a sunny day right from the word go. just a little bit of cloud developing through the course of the morning into the afternoon. skies, a little on the hazy side, i think, across northern ireland and scotland, but it's a dry day. it's a little warmer too, temperatures widely into the 20s. you really will notice that tomorrow. and also the humidity will be rising, notjust tomorrow, but gradually, over the coming days. now, here's monday's weather map. you can see a big area of high pressure there in charge of the weather across europe. a weather front does try to sweep into north—western parts of the uk, but it's very slow moving. it really is struggling against the high pressure centred over germany. and actually, what is happening, a warmer atmosphere is streaming in from the south, so temperatures will continue to rise through monday and into tuesday. in fact, if we look

at monday's highs — widely into the mid—20s, pushing 28 celsius in the south—east, and that heat will keep on intensifying into tuesday, in fact, streaming out of spain across france. could be some thunderstorms with that as well. but in paris, temperatures could actually hit the mid—30s. here in the uk, in london, we will probably reach 30 celsius, but for most of us further north, it won't be quite so hot, but it will be very pleasant. bye— bye.
