6:30 am
for four consecutive apparatus finals. jake jarman also had a great day, taking top spot with his floor routine with a score of 14.996. he also came fifth in the individual all—around results. britain's equestrians are putting a difficult week behind them. they are top of the leader board at the end of the first day of the three—day eventing competition. laura collett put in an outstanding performance, smashing the olympic record for the lowest dressage score with just 17.5 penalties. she sits in individualfirst place and the team are also in gold position going into today's cross country. rain in paris means britain's tennis players are still waiting to start their olympics, but underneath the roof on court, philippe chatrier in the doubles — the first—time pairing of rafa nadal and carlos alcaraz didn't disappoint in the red of spain. they beat argentina's sixth seeds maximo gonzalez and andres molten in straight sets in the opening round. nadal was one of
6:31 am
alcaraz�*s heroes growing up, they're calling this partnership �*nadalcaraz�* or �*rafaraz�*. hugely popular with the crowd, as you'd expect, this the court where nadal won 14 french open titles. he says he's not sure if he'll play the singles later today after picking up a thigh injury in training. away from the action, and the italian highjumper gianmarco tamberi issued a poetic and heartfelt apology to his wife after losing his wedding ring during the opening ceremony on friday. tamberi was a flag—bearer for italy, and it was while he was waving his flag on the river seine that it flew off his finger, he says: "i heard it slip away, i saw it fly. "i followed it with my eyes until i saw it bounce "inside the boat "and dive into the water as if that was the only place "it wanted to be." claiming the ring will now "remain forever in the riverbed of the city of love." his wife has apparently forgiven him, saying only he can turn something like this into something romantic.

ididn't do i didn't do that. i thought. look at his post on social media. it was beautifully written. nine years ago, chantelle reid from derby was told by doctors she would never walk again if she didn't give up boxing. a back injury prevented her from competing for six years. but now, she's back and in paris and going for gold, as charlie slater reports. the olympics is the biggest competition that you can take part in. only the best in the world just to go to the olympics. it is amazing. to go to the olympics. it is amazing-— to go to the olympics. it is amazinu. ,., to go to the olympics. it is amazin.. amazing. boxing is a comeback story. chantelle reid _ amazing. boxing is a comeback story. chantelle reid has _ amazing. boxing is a comeback story. chantelle reid has one _ amazing. boxing is a comeback story. chantelle reid has one like _ amazing. boxing is a comeback story. chantelle reid has one like you - amazing. boxing is a comeback story. chantelle reid has one like you have. chantelle reid has one like you have never heard. chantelle reid has one like you have never heard-— never heard. when i was 18, 19, i had degenerative _ never heard. when i was 18, 19, i had degenerative disc _ never heard. when i was 18, 19, i had degenerative disc disease. i l never heard. when i was 18, 19, i i had degenerative disc disease. i had two specialist doctors had a look at scans and they advised me not to box at the elite level anymore, just for future reasons, i could end up in a wheelchair. when i got told i couldn't box any more, it was almost

6:34 am
experience the moment of walking into that ring in the olympic games. away from the olympics, the second day of the final test saw hosts england dig deep against the west indies. after being reduced to 54—5, it was a sparkling 95 from jamie smith and half centuries from joe root, captain ben stokes and chris woakes that took them to 376. wicketkeeper smith missed his maiden century by a whisker there. the visitors then lost their skipper kraigg brathwaite for a duck late in the day. they'll resume today on 33/2. england still ahead by 61 runs. despite formula 1 world champion max verstappen being quickest in qualifying, it'll be ferrari's charles leclerc who'll start today's belgian grand prix from pole position. that's because for the third year in a row verstappen was demoted for changing too many parts on his red bull over the course of the season. he's won the past two belgian grands prix after receiving a grid penalty.
6:35 am
but he says this year will be more difficult because his rivals are quicker this season. it was a very positive day for us. of it was a very positive day for us. of course i know it is not how it is going to be tomorrow. we optimise everything on our side for tomorrow. i hope the tires are going to hold up, and hopefully at least we can fight with ferrari and mercedes. mclaren, i don't know. they might be a little bit out of reach. it's four wins from four for scotland on their summer tour with a 31 points to 19 victory over uruguay in montevideo. not the most convincing performance from scotland, uruguay put up a good fight. but it was back—to—back tries getting the job done for scotland with the final one coming from pierre scomann to secure the win for his country. salford red devils 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
6:36 am
in what was a seesaw contest. they're now fifth in the table, four points off the top. catalans dragons are above them in fourth after beating hull fc 24—16 in the day's other match. there is some sport aside from the limbic! thank you. we will see you later —— aside from the olympics. we have the sport and weather coming up we have the sport and weather coming up for you. now, it's time for the travel show. this year, all eyes are on the french region of normandy as it prepares to celebrate some major anniversaries. it might not be as well visited as paris or as sunny as the south of the country, but if you come here and explore, you're going to fall in love with this part of france. it's the place that gave us a king that changed the course of history.
6:37 am
it inspired the painter that started a movement that took the art world by storm. claude monet never painted any water lilies. what?! yes! he painted the light on top of the lilies. whilst 80 years ago its coastline was at the forefront of a fight for freedom. i want to say an enormous thank you to all those who have taken part. it was a team effort. this is the region that's seen it all. and its stories have all been woven into the tapestry of time. whoa—ho—ho! this is so cool! you have to release the rope...
6:38 am
yeah, ok. ..until the sail is flapping. just... you can release, yes. so, the flapping starts... yes. ..and then from the flapping, we bring it injust... a little bit. ..just to stop. yes. that's perfect now. yes, you see. ah, look at me! i'm a sailor! france and england may be neighbours but in the middle ages, they were bitter rivals, mainly thanks to this man — william, the duke of normandy, who history would come to know better as william the conqueror. in the year 1066, he left these shores to invade england and set it on a new course of history. william was descended from the fierce vikings, or norsemen, who gave normandy its name.
6:39 am
in 2027, normandy will mark the 1,000th anniversary of william's birth, but the preparations for this big occasion have already begun. and now, a historical society in the port town of honfleur are busy recreating the viking—style longship that would've carried william, his most trusted knights, their horses and 60 oarsmen to the brutal battle of hastings. and there's not a power tool in sight. this is me splitting wood in what would be the norman way of doing it? yeah, and with this technique, you can split any tree. yeah, good.
6:40 am
6:41 am
the team made their plans for the new—look la mora by studying the 70—metre—long bayeux tapestry. so, all of this is the battle of hastings? yes, it's all the battle. here is the famous death of king harold, which marks the end of the battle. where's the eye? where's the arrow in his eye? harold is just here. you can see it with the arrow in the eye. yeah! the tapestry was completed in the decade following the battle of hastings. martin is a historian at the bayeux museum, whose job it is to study and interpret this priceless artefact. and on the next scene, you can see that william is taking off his helmet to being recognised by the helmet to show that he is alive
6:42 am
and the battle have to continue to the victor. the story starts with the dying king of england, edward the confessor, promising the throne to william. he sends the message to william in france via a trusted nobleman called harold godwinson. but when edward dies, harold is offered the crown by the governing council of england and takes it for himself, ensuing william's rage. how factual is it? how factual? it's a representation, you know, of the events of the year 1064—1066. so, it's a story written by the victors, you know? and there is a lot, of course, of what we can call inaccuracy and so, mistake or choice to show some — only a point of view of the history. yeah. it's like we can call it propaganda, you know? now over 900 years old, the bayeux tapestry has survived major events like the french revolution
6:43 am
and even acted as a potential crib sheet for those looking to invade england as recently as world war ii. then, it was confiscated by the germans. so, it did end up in german hands? it did end up in german hands here in bayeux for their study it and also to know how to invade england, of course. really?! yes, of course! so, germany were taking tips from william the conqueror�*s story? dives—sur—mer is the town william left from to invade england — though i must admit, it's hard to imagine a full—blown invasion force gathered here today. wow, look at this place! where were all the knights in their suits of armour? i'm meeting francois, an archaeologist who, like many other normans, is in love with his history. wow! hello, steve. francois, bonjour! salut. nice to meet you.
6:44 am
but what is it that separates normandy from other regions in france? what's so special here? there is so much history here. in dives—sur—mer, the past isn'tjust consigned to books and museums, it's part of everyday life. even the weekly market takes place in a hall that dates back to the 1300s. this all looks so nice. yes. what have we got here?
6:45 am
6:46 am
look, all of these names, the people — it's bizarre. you thinkjust william the conqueror. notjust soldiers — archers, stable boys? oui. there's lots of people involved. the names featured on the wall are william's top brass, the ones who helped him rule england and that would later become the cornerstone for the country's aristocracy. william the conqueror —
6:47 am
a national hero? was he a tyrant, a kind king? what kind of person...? normandy�*s countryside is — well, let's face it — picture—perfect. and there's only one way to see it — in the passenger seat of a french classic car, like the citroen 2cv. french culture has an abundance of style and a certain je ne sais quoi, so it's no
6:48 am
surprise france has produced some of the world's finest artists. 2024 is a really important anniversary in the world of art — it's 150 years since the movement of impressionism was founded, giving the world artists like monet. i've come to the norman village of giverny. it's famed worldwide as being the home of french artist claude monet, who lived here from 1883 all the way up to his death in 1926. the gardeners here do an amazing job. they must go around with one of monet's pictures. it's identical!
6:49 am
patricia is a local artist and, with giverny being a major tourist attraction in normandy, she has a sideline running tours around monet's house and gardens. patricia, this place is as pretty as a picture. i think i recognise it. really?! yeah! is it possible? he painted this place more than 250 times. yeah? yeah. so, tell me, why did he paint it so many times? because he made series of the light, yeah? so, you see today, we have wonderful reflections, and this is what he loved. so, he created this garden being inspired by the japanese art because at that time, in europe and all over the world, japan was the new fashion and monet became a fashion victim. oh, right! so, that makes sense. we've got the bamboo, we've got
6:50 am
the very japanese—style bridge. yes. impressionism was groundbreaking. the year 1874 was a time of great change in france. claude monet and a group of his friends decided it was time for art to change, too. with the opening of new train lines and the invention of paints in tubes, they could leave their studios in paris and capture places like normandy on canvas. when they set up their own radical exhibition on their return to the city, a notable critic of the time compared their work to a sketch for a wallpaper pattern, a mere unfinished impression, which gave this movement its name. but looking around this museum in giverny, it's clear to see who got the last laugh. how does yours already look better than mine? because i'm a painter! because you're a painter, yeah.
6:51 am
so, tell me a little bit about monet's relationship with normandy. normandy became one of his major subjects because he loved the light changes. you know, monet always used to say, "here, the light "changes every seven minutes." and if you look at that today, i think that's true. yeah. claude monet never painted any water lilies. what?! yes! he painted the light on top of the lilies. oh... you get it? my mind is blown! i've come to that reflection part now and i don't really know what i'm doing. in fact, to paint the reflections, you should do vertical lines. this is what monet made. and look — it's vertical. can you see? no. how is yours so different from mine? i don't understand. because you have a different style. i don't have a different style — i can't do it.
6:52 am
it's starting to rain. i think we should better stop. what do you think? because otherwise, our paintings will be messy. we will never be able to sell them for $1 million. 0k? 0k! normandy�*s ever—changing weather has put an end to my lesson but that is my first — and possibly last — effort at impressionism art. it's no monet, but it's a steve brown. back here on the coast, scars from normandy�*s more recent history can still be felt today. onjune 6th, 1944, 80 years ago, the d—day landings happened on a stretch of normandy�*s beaches. the objective of d—day was to secure a foothold in nazi—occupied europe.
6:53 am
it was the largest naval, air and land operation in history. on that fateful summer's day, the allies used over 5,000 ships and landing craft to carry more than 150,000 troops to normandy�*s beaches, codenamed utah, omaha, gold, juno and sword. 4,414 allied soldiers died on d—day itself. in 2021, the british normandy memorial was opened overlooking gold beach. to mark the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings, dan and his team of volunteers from the arts group standing with giants will place 1,475 handmade silhouettes at the memorial to mark the number of servicemen
6:54 am
who died on d—day itself under british command. applause. hey, look at that! give it a wiggle, ed. get your toes on it. so, that's the first one up, then. do they all look the same? no, we've got 11 different designs, all representing different groups that came over the beaches on that particular day. you don't want to leave anyone out, do you? well, no. we was told, apparently, we've left out frogmen. oh, no! do you know, my great uncle was a stretcher—bearer on d—day? oh, right. you know, it's amazing, isn't it? everyone's got their stories. and did you meet your great uncle? no, i didn't, and if i'm honest with you, my understanding and the facts that i've got from family are quite sparse but do you know, standing here with you, looking out across the beach that he would have been helping on, i'm certainly going to go back and find out more about him. because everyone played their role and the stretcher—bearers and the nurses — i mean,
6:55 am
they were witnessing horror continuously — just continuously. and you know, it was just so hard for them. and because of that, we've also designed two nurses. there were two nurses on one of the boats that hit a mine and they got blown up and killed, so we've actually brought with us two giant nurses, laser—cut in steel, to represent the nurses and the ladies that took part and that worked so hard behind the scenes. i'm... i'm lost for words. cafe gondree was the first french home to be liberated on d—day. it's so good to meet you. thank you very much. it's still run by the same family. and i'm meeting arlette,
6:56 am
who was just four years old in 1944. but what a cafe! i mean, look around — there seems to be so many bits of memorabilia. it seems like everybody wants to share things with you. that's absolutely right. they want to come in because it's a house, a little house from the surface, that has lived history. we were woken up, or half asleep, by a tremendous crashing noise and then, different movements around the house, so... and then, suddenly the shutter from our dining room was being forced open and window panes were being broken and we heard footsteps above our head. we thought the germans had come in to get us, but fortunately... that is... ..fortunately, daddy left us for a short time, walked up the little steps and was faced by soldiers saying to daddy, "it's all right, we've arrived. "we're british."
6:57 am
so, he brought them in the cellar. and, naturally, i was very frightened, so i went to hide behind the barrels but then, one of them took some chocolate out of his jacket with some biscuits and so, i came forward. mummy started kissing them. and then after that, daddy said, "it's all for you, "this house," and opened the door. and by then, casualties were brought in. i want to say an enormous thank you to all those who have taken part. it was a team effort. here, it's the british, but within the british army, there were other nationalities that were trained together, and this is to be commemorated for the 80th anniversary. and i can see you mean that as well — i can see you mean that from the bottom of your heart.
6:58 am
d—day didn't end world war ii but it was the beginning of the end, and there were still dark days ahead and many more lives would be lost on all sides. the final stop on myjourney through time is the german war graves at la cambe. above the cemetery is a statue of a mother and father. it was placed there to watch over the sons that are buried below. history isn't just about buildings and museum pieces, it's about people. when you come to somewhere like normandy and see the places where it all happened, you start to realise that every name on a stone or in a textbook is a real person, and that offers you a perspective like no other.

an incident at manchester airport, which ended with a police officer kicking a man in the head. the cctv appears to show how three officers were trying to make arrests, when two men punched two of them to the floor. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has urged people to allow the authorities to continue their investigation. will vernon reports. new footage obtained by the manchester evening news appears to show more of what happened. the police are seen trying to detain one man before another starts to punch one of the officers. the man being detained in the light blue top also begins punching the female officers. he then appears to attack the officer holding the taser. after that, one of the female officers tasers the man. you can then see another officer kick the man in the head when the footage ends. responding to the release of video, the mayor of greater manchester,
7:02 am
andy burnham said: you got him on the floor, stop being aggressive! this is the footage that caused the initial controversy... shouting ..apparently showing an officer kicking and stamping on the head of a man lying on the ground. move back, move back! the constable seen here has been suspended from duty. stop kicking people! the independent office for police conduct says he is subject to a criminal investigation. the full independent procedure has to be followed. it's clear that this is a complex, fast—moving incident, but obviously, there's no justification whatsoever for what we've seen, and i think the police have made that clear. that's why this officer has been suspended. but we've got to let the independent process
7:03 am
follow its due course. as part of their investigation, the police have opened an online portal where members of the public can submit information or material that could help with their enquiries. chanting shame on you! the events of last week led to protests in rochdale with some accusing greater manchester police of being institutionally racist. but the family of the men involved have appealed for calm, warning that extremists on all sides were keen to hijack this incident for their own ends. will vernon, bbc news. israel says it has struck hezbollah targets deep inside lebanon in response to a rocket attack that killed at least 12 people in the israeli—occupied golan heights. lebanon's hezbollah movement has denied responsibility, but the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has vowed retaliation saying the group will "pay a heavy price." mark lowen reports. siren wails
7:04 am
early evening in the israeli—occupied golan heights, and the warning of an incoming threat about to become deadly and dangerous. explosion a rocket struck a football field where children and teenagers were playing. several were killed in the deadliest strike since the cross—border fire between lebanon and israel began last october. screaming the anguish of loved ones at young lives cut short in a conflict that could be about to escalate sharply. a rocket barrage which lit up the sky was claimed by the lebanese militant group hezbollah, but it denies firing the deadly strike onto the football field. that, the israeli army spokesman says, is a lie. this attack shows the true face of hezbollah — a terrorist organisation that targets and murders children
7:05 am
playing soccer on a saturday evening. we will act to restore full security on our northern border for all the citizens of the state of israel. and the question is how israel's government will react. benjamin netanyahu is returning early from the us to chair his security cabinet, where he will face calls to hit back hard. as the young injured were rushed to hospital, fear is growing that all—out war with hezbollah, a proxy of iran, could now be drawing closer. south in gaza, the other front of this war, palestinians too were scrambling to save lives, this time after israeli strikes killed dozens. here, too, its children paying the price in a nightmare with no end. the missiles tore into a school housing displaced gazans. israel says it targeted a hamas command—and—control centre inside,
7:06 am
but from the rubble came those simply seeking shelter. mustafa says the blast threw him into the air and he fell to the ground. "i didn't know where to run forfear," he says, "so i fled inside the school, thinking it was safe. "but then i saw heads, hands and feet." the spark from october 7 ignited gaza and now golan. the question here is — will it start an inferno? mark lowen, bbc news, jerusalem. our correspondent barbara plett—usher joins us now from jerusalem. barbara, what more can you tell us about this attack? it could hardly have been worse as you were hearing there, the strike hitting a football pitch were children were playing. we now have a list of the names and ages of the casualties. the oldest is only 16, the youngest is ten, and the funerals are set to begin later today but there are still children
7:07 am
in hospital in critical condition. as you were hearing, hezbollah strongly categorically denied it was denied —— behind this attack but israel says it has evidence that the rocket used was from hezbollah, and overnight they carried out a series of strikes in lebanon, in the southern part of the country, but also in the north. hitting about seven different areas, and it could be that this has onlyjust the beginning, the israeli prime minister will be chairing the security cabinet later today. is that this will not pass without a big response, that this was not business as usual, and that of course is the concern has been the concern or long since this cross—border conflict has been going for the past ten months. essentially in parallel with the war in gaza against hamas, people worried that this now could be the trigger that would ignite that all—out war, the un warning that if that happens, it would engulf the entire region in a catastrophe beyond belief, and the un, the western powers as well as

lebanon are working to try and de—escalate the situation. lebanon are working to try and de-escalate the situation. thank you ve much de-escalate the situation. thank you very much for— de-escalate the situation. thank you very much for the _ de-escalate the situation. thank you very much for the update. _ the television presenter laura whitmore has alleged she was subjected to inappropriate behaviour while taking part in strictly come dancing eight years ago. she didn't name who was involved in her case, but she was paired with professional dancer giovanni pernice, who's previously denied threatening or abusive behaviour, and since left the programme. in a statement on social media, laura said: the former home secretary, dame priti patel, has become the first female mp and fifth candidate to launch a bid to replace rishi sunak as the conservative leader.
7:09 am
she said she could unite and "reinvigorate" the party, and turn it "back into a winning machine." our political correspondent helen catt reports. priti patel is the first woman to officially say she's running in this leadership contest. a leading voice on the right of the conservative party, she was the home secretary under borisjohnson, responsible for introducing among other things the points—based immigration system and the asylum agreement with rwanda. she talks about the importance of law and order as the backdrop for introducing other conservative policies. and launching her bid to be leader, she said: she's also pitching her campaign directly at the party members who will decide who wins, saying: james cleverley, who is also a former home secretary, has already said his nomination is in. what we need to do is to make sure
7:10 am
that we speak with one voice, that we do the serious thinking about policy, how we reduce taxes, how we protect our borders, how we defend ourselves and our allies in an increasingly dangerous and difficult world. other former home office figures are standing too like robertjenrick who was the immigration minister. he hasn't spoken publicly since confirming he's running. and tom tugendhat, the former security minister, who says the tories need to deliver on their promises. when we don't deliver, when we don't have the trust of the british people, we lead to the kind of electoral results that you've just seen. so we need to be absolutely clear eyed, we need to be absolutely at the service of the british people, and that's what i am saying. the former work and pensions secretary mel stride has also confirmed his candidacy. we've substantially lost the trust of the british people and we've lost our reputation for competence, and i believe that i am in a very good position to address those issues going forward.
7:11 am
whether or not yet another former home secretary, suella braverman, will run is still unclear. there's also not yet been any formal announcement from the former business secretary, kemi badenoch, who is widely expected to stand. leadership hopefuls need the support of ten conservative mps to be in the race. they've got until tomorrow afternoon to get them. helen catt, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent rajdeep sandhu. what happens next in the conservative leadership race? this is not a quick process. no, it will take many — this is not a quick process. no, it will take many months _ this is not a quick process. no, it will take many months to - this is not a quick process. no, it| will take many months to actually find the new conservative leader, but for the next 24 hours, the focus will be on her with standing and who makes the ballot. we know of five candidates, the latest is wayne priti patel, and her slogan is unite to win, and her pictures almost about how she is the right person to take the party from opposition into government because she worked with the william hague after the 1997 conservative defeat, and she says it
7:12 am
is now time to put unity before personal vendetta. we've also been hearing today from mel stride, another who put his hat in the ring. has been writing in the telegraph his message today is about trust, making the party seem as competent by voters again, and he says that if the party can do that, if they can unite and read again that trust, they can win the next election. there are also a few names who haven't officially declared, people we are kind of watching and waiting to see what they do one of those is kemi badenoch. she is on the right of the party, former business secretary, and seen someone quite popular with the party members. there is also swelling braverman, another former home secretary, also on the right of the party. still waiting to see what she does tomorrow. the deadline is tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., so they have to get the papers in pretty sharp tomorrow and then we will get a full list of actually in this race.—
7:13 am
and then we will get a full list of actually in this race. thank you for the update- _ a devastating wildfire has ripped through bushland in northern california, forcing around 4,000 residents to flee their homes. it's been described as the biggest blaze to hit the state this year and is thought to have been started deliberately. our correspondent duncan kennedy has more. it is california's biggest wildfire this year, already burning through more than 300,000 acres of land, and it looks like some of it was started deliberately. a lot of our crews are doing what's called prepping — basically getting out ahead of the fire, finding those structures, communities, making sure those areas are more survivable should the fire go through. the centre of the fire is in northern california in places like butte county, leaving homes and cars burning...and burned out. the same county was hit by another fire in 2018 that killed 80 people. oh...new house down there too?
7:14 am
and even when vehicles can move around in this cauldron of flames and smoke, the very sides of the roads are themselves on fire. in chico, brian is now sleeping out in the open, just his dog rescued from the inferno. right about the time i go out the door, i got two city pd officers at the door, telling me i needed to get out. and...well, i packed up what i could pack up in the car, me and the dog, and i got out. sherry made sure she got out with all of her 12 dogs. her most precious companions amid the other physical loss. as long as i have the dogs and they're safe, i don't really care about many material things, you know. a 42—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of starting the butte blaze by rolling a burning car into a gully. it's already too late for many properties. here, just the brick chimney is left standing. elsewhere, rows of homes are evacuated, their owners in shelters.
7:15 am
i want to go home right now, but those things can be replaced, lives can't, pets can't, you know what i mean? that structure will be replaced eventually. a state of emergency has been declared as around 2,500 fire crews and emergency workers try to contain what they can, when they can. in some places, that means creating fire breaks and hosing down the ground to try to stop embers building back into fires. but wind and very dry shrub are making this another summer of destruction. duncan kennedy, bbc news. 17 minutes past six. it was a successful first day of the olympics for team gb, winning medals in diving and cycling, as well as plenty of strong showings from big names looking to defend their titles. katie gornall is at the gymnastics ahead of the women's qualification later today. we've already seen some incredible moments for team gb — what can we expect from day two
7:16 am
of the games? so much on day two, as you say what a great start for team gb, they picked up that bronze medal in the women's synchro diving. i was there and we all thought australia would clinch it within a terrible mistake from them on the final dive when jazmine harper and scarlett mew jensen secured team gb �*s first medal of these games, followed a few hours later by anna henderson and the time trial doing well in terrible conditions out there in paris, cyclist slipping all over the place, yes plenty coming up on day two, joining me at the gymnastics, team gb will be competing in qualification herejust team gb will be competing in qualification here just over an hour. they had been depleted by injury for these olympics. becky downing as part of the team giving them her experience and they hope to make it safely through to the finals
7:17 am
and the team and individual events. later, the main event, simone biles the most decorated gymnast in history, will be here competing for the usa in qualification. the first time we will have seen her compete at an olympics since tokyo of course when she withdrew from the teeny —— team events and most individual events after developing the twisties in mid air losing her spatial awareness, a traumatic time for her. she spent most of tokyo watching her team from stands, she took two years out of that to focus on her mental health, something she has spoken widely about copy we didn't know at that point whether we would see her at an olympic competition again but she returns is the most decorated gymnast in history, huge amount of support for her later. elsewhere a lot of attention as well at the arena for the team gb point of view where adam pt is looking to go for
7:18 am
his third straight gold—medal in the 100 metres breaststroke. he qualified fastest for today's final anti— looks calm and collected and very confident that will please his fans, he has had a tumultuous builder to these olympics. he has had some mental health problems and struggles with his personal life and says he has at peace and he is calm and he will be looking to get a third straight gold—medal in that event. and also another thing to tell you about today for team gb. so much going on, andy murray and action in the doubles, playing alongside dan evans at roland garros, chasing a fourth olympic medal, he is also a two—time olympic champion. people want to go deep into this tournament, he retires afterwards and he will want to end his career on a high and build on that exciting start team gb has made it these olympics. brute

7:23 am
called for calm after video footage was released which appears to show the moments before a police officer kicked a man in the head at manchester airport. andy burnham has asked people to step back and allow the authorities to complete their investigations. hejoins us now. good to have you with us. what do you think this footage. this new footage tells us that we did not know before?— know before? well, it is an extremely _ know before? well, it is an extremely difficult - know before? well, it is an | extremely difficult situation know before? well, it is an - extremely difficult situation but at least this morning it has moved forward a degree. because people now have a fuller picture. it confirms what i said last week, which is that this is a situation that escalated very quickly, a very violent situation, issues on both sides. the key now as we allow the two investigations, the two parallel investigations, the two parallel investigations to complete their work, there is one investigation ongoing, into a number of assaults
7:24 am
and that is a police investigation, four people on police bail. it was a second investigation into police conduct. it's really important now, lots of people have had their say on this very complicated situation in recent days, we understand that. is now important we go forward from here but those two investigations so all of the right actions can be taken as a result. it all of the right actions can be taken as a result.— taken as a result. it is a fair oint taken as a result. it is a fair point to _ taken as a result. it is a fair point to another _ taken as a result. it is a fair. point to another investigation taken as a result. it is a fair- point to another investigation to run its course. but people want answers. there are tensions as a result of this. when will the investigation give us answers as to what happened? 50. investigation give us answers as to what happened?— investigation give us answers as to what happened? so, i do understand that frustration _ what happened? so, i do understand that frustration and _ what happened? so, i do understand that frustration and i _ what happened? so, i do understand that frustration and i felt _ what happened? so, i do understand that frustration and i felt it _ what happened? so, i do understand that frustration and i felt it to - what happened? so, i do understand that frustration and i felt it to a - that frustration and i felt it to a degree, because when you have footage that is subject to a potential criminal trial, can'tjust be put out into the public domain. the world in which we live is that
7:25 am
some video emerges and other video can't be released, it is a really complicated situation. you can't put a timeline on these things, these are careful, considerations that have to be made now about the whole incident. looking at the whole thing, start to finish, the right judgement is made as to the accountability for what happened. $5 accountability for what happened. as mayor greater manchester police, have you been given — days, weeks months? i have you been given - days, weeks months? . ., , have you been given - days, weeks months? . .,, .~' , have you been given - days, weeks months? . .,, a , .,, months? i have said as quickly as ossible. months? i have said as quickly as possible. obviously _ months? i have said as quickly as possible. obviously given - months? i have said as quickly as possible. obviously given the - months? i have said as quickly as. possible. obviously given the huge interest in the whole issue. and i think everybody could see there is a public interest in that. you can't really put a timeline on investigations, they take as long as they take. at least now there is a fuller picture in the public domain and it is as i was saying last week,
7:26 am
much more complicated than was first made up. we live in a world where something appears, a fragment and everybody rushes to judgement, anotherfragment and everybody rushes to judgement, another fragment and then makes everybody rushes to judgement, anotherfragment and then makes —— everyone makes a judgement on that, it's very difficult but we should now accept there are two parallel investigations, they have to be able to complete their work and then we can draw a line. there are serious issues to be investigated on both sides. d0 issues to be investigated on both sides. , ., ~ ., sides. do you think the anger within the community _ sides. do you think the anger within the community and _ sides. do you think the anger within the community and public— sides. do you think the anger within the community and public we - sides. do you think the anger within the community and public we saw. the community and public we saw initially would have been as intense had people seen this latest footage and new it wasn't isolated, what they had seen the bench —— initially? they had seen the bench -- initially?— they had seen the bench -- initiall ?~ , , , initially? well, yes, i suppose the whole picture _ initially? well, yes, i suppose the whole picture had _ initially? well, yes, i suppose the whole picture had been _ initially? well, yes, i suppose the whole picture had been put - initially? well, yes, i suppose the whole picture had been put out i whole picture had been put out straightaway, it would have enabled people to make a judgement, a more
7:27 am
rounded judgement. as i say it's not as easy as that because sometimes footage will be used in a later trial potentially and it can'tjust be put out because that can have an impact on any potential proceedings. it is why in the social media age we are living now with situations where are living now with situations where a partial pictures presented and it takes a side about that very absolute position one way or the other and that's we often see now. life is more complicated, the truth often lies in between and i did say that last week, i did also say to people, be careful, this isn't as simple as it looks. time is needed here, there is a very complicated situation. it has issues for all those involved. to some degree i think some people heard that. here we are, we are where we are. at least we have the fuller picture this morning, let's allow the investigators to do their work and
7:28 am
bring the right actions as a result of those investigations. you mentioned _ of those investigations. you mentioned the _ of those investigations. you mentioned the social - of those investigations. you mentioned the social media impact. and there is a danger in the absence of verified factual information, in that vacuum, rumour, speculation fills the void, isn't there? is that in your mind as the investigation, as you say takes an unknown amount of time? , . ., , as you say takes an unknown amount oftime? , . ., , , of time? yes, it certainly is. i think there — of time? yes, it certainly is. i think there is _ of time? yes, it certainly is. i think there is learning - of time? yes, it certainly is. i think there is learning for - think there is learning for everybody from this because this is a phenomenon on of our times, isn't it? video will emerge from whichever source but it will go out there and everyone then becomes an expert on it. they make an absolutely unequivocaljudgement on the back of it. your life isn't like that. the risk is, of course you get consequences from those judgements
7:29 am
and that furore ray that builds on that can have an impact on communities and public order. the thing i would say — politicians should not be part of that rush to judgement. we have seen that on from people on both positions of responsibility and i should not be adding to the clamour and the hype around that incident. i do think we had to learn from this and from outside as well, everybody has to step back and from this. these situations can be quite dangerous, people �*s careers are on the line on these situations. i think we all feel for the police officers who were injured as a result of what happened and there is a whole lot of staff that comes together. and it's really important i think learning from us that we do it better next time. it's not possible always for
7:30 am
all the video to be in the public domain because of the nature of criminal investigations. somehow, i think certainly politicians need to lead from the front, and not adding to the public furore ray. thank you forjoining us on request this morning. —— breakfast. sunday with laura kuenssberg is on bbc two at 9:00. victoria derbyshire can tell us what's in store. good morning. we are on bbc two this morning from nine o'clock and live in the studio. the man now in charge of england's rivers and the storage in them. environ secretary steve reed and sharon white, conservative mp alysia kearns and stephen fry live on bbc two, not number one. it at nine o'clock. see you then. got that! rugby league's kevin sinfield says he's committed to three more challenges to raise money for mnd

breakfast. a one—of—a—kind supercar, which has taken 4.5 years to restore, is finally being returned to its owner in the united states. the aston martin bulldog was painstakingly put back together by a team of engineers in shropshire. our reporterjoan cummins has been to find out more. using a turbocharged v8 engine, the bulldog can reach over 170 miles an hour. designed by william towns, the aston martin buller was designed to be the first of production car on the road in 1979. but the intended family of 200 mile an hour bulldogs never materialised, and this model disappeared into obscurity. 40 years later, it was rescued by an american businessman determined it would finally live up to its potential. it was complete. the engineering aspect of it that aston martin did was pretty much their original, it and

7:40 am
ceremony. 13 gold medals are due to be awarded on the second day of competition at the paris olympics. swimmer adam peaty is hoping for a third successive gold in the 100 metres breaststroke. it follows a strong start for team gb, securing two medals on the opening day of the games, asjoe lynsky reports. great olympic moments on the first day of the medals. for team gb, this start is their best since 1980. a silver and bronze are the first steps towards the target. by the end, they want at least 58 more. few seem as destined as one for adam peaty, who tonight could join his sport's elite club. he goes in the 100—metre breaststroke. he won his semifinal, and now could win gold for the third games in a row. commentator: oh, look at that. very good indeed. _ it's going to be an absolute privilege to be out there, from what we have been both been through, i'm loving it again.

a beautiful shot of your son. don't even talk to me about my son. it makes me cry. he goes, "daddy, are you the fastest boy?" that's what he says. even if i haven't seen him for two weeks. that's all he cares about. british success came where they were used to, on the streets, they postponed the first skateboarding events. on the roads, it made for a time trial on a tightrope. a 32—kilometre race against the rain. for some, four years of work slipped away on the cobbles. commentator: oh! | everybody's crashing. britain's anna henderson went for control. as a junior, she raced in slalom skiing. this year on the bike, she's broken her collarbone twice. so in these conditions, just to cross the line was brave. her time was good enough for britain's first silver medal. it is a super cycling silver for great britain, for anna henderson. grace brown of australia won gold by more than 90 seconds. but henderson's career—high had come about through caution. yeah, i was a bit of a grandma

through the corners but that paid off and i used the power on the straights and, yeah, here i am! i can't believe it. i burst into tears when i found out. all the effort this year has been worth it. to achieve a goal like this is unbelievable. in the men's race, josh tarling finished two seconds off a bronze. he lost time when he changed his bike for repairs. cruelly, the puncture meant he missed out on the podium. but britain's divers were on the right end of a twist. yasmin harper and scarlett mewjensen moved into the medals when they took their last dive. everyone expected australia to go past them. commentator: ooh! anything can happen in diving. a routine score would have put them into bronze, but on the left of the screen, a slip on the board. their agony had brought team gb history, bronze and a medal in the women's diving event for the first time since 1960. been a bit of a thing,
7:43 am
the girl's haven't had a medalfor so many years. coming in today, i think we really wanted to put our best foot forward and show what we can do. and to come away with the first medal in so long, in the woman's diving, is incredible. this start to a games brought the hosts a lasting moment. commentator: who else - than a man for a big occasion! this is antoine dupont, who, since the rugby world cup, has learned to play sevens. nine months of work had led to this night. france hadn't qualified for this sport in tokyo. in fiji, they'd beaten the reigning champions. 69,000 here at the start. all around this country, their hearts are exploding in joy. the first gold for france, dupont�*s greatest gamble. he left with no regrets. # non, je ne regrette rien... joe lynskey, bbc news. there is so much more to come. on to gymnastics, great britain are through to tomorrow's men's
7:44 am
artistic gymnastics team final, finishing third in qualifying. there was a big score for max whitlock on the pommel horse. the reigning champion heads to the final in third place. he makes history as the first british gymnast to qualify for four consecutive apparatus finals. jake jarman also had a great day, taking top spot with his floor routine with a score of 14.996. he also came fifth in the individual all—around results. traditionally, thejudo programme comes early in the games. later in the week, emma reid will make her olympc debut. she's one of the in—form athletes after securing her qualification when she won bronze at the world championships. with her parents both heavily involved in the sport, she first set foot on the mat aged just five. 24 years later, she has high hopes for a medal in paris, asjonathon park reports. you try to get your legs onto the
