6:03 am
the police were keeping the two sides apart but the protest did not descend into the scenes seen in sunderland. community leaders are calling for calm saying that the families of the three girls killed in southport on monday do not want to see violent protests. elsie, who was seven years old, bebe was six, and alister who was nine lost their lives. downing street was lit up in pink last night to remember them — as was parliament, and southport itself. the teenager accused of murdering them is axel, who was 17. video emerged which is believed to show him fronting a campaign for the bbc�*s children in need when he was 11. a spokesperson for the charity told the daily mail "our deepest sympathies go out everyone impacted by the shocking case and we have removed the video from all of our platforms". following last night's unrest in sunderland, the home secretary

a plea deal made with the man accused of plotting the 9/11 terror attacks has been revoked by the us government. almost 3000 people died in the attack 22 years ago. some of the families of the victims criticised the deal, which would have seen alleged ringleader khalid sheikh mohammed and his accomplices spared the death penalty if they pleaded guilty. donald trump says he has agreed to a televised debate with vice president kamala harris on fox news next month. last night, ms harris passed the threshold to become the democratic party's presidential candidate in november's election. football fans are being warned to be aware of ticket scams, after new analysis suggested reports of the crime rose by a third last season. lloyds bank reported a 32% increase in its customers falling victim to scammers. here's our business correspondent marc ashdown.
6:14 am
the football season is about to kick off with top fixtures routinely sold out, getting to see a live match is rare for some fans. last season, more and more supporters fell victim to ruthless scammers. it often starts on a social media site like facebook or x, with fake adverts, often with pictures of real tickets. they convince fans to send money via a bank transfer, then the money and ticket disappear into thin air. analysis by lloyds bank show that during the last football season there was a 32% rise in customers say they fell victim to a scam. arsenal and liverpool fans were the most targeted, with the average was £177. some reported losing more than £1000. youngerfans between 18—34 £1000. younger fans between 18—34 made £1000. youngerfans between 18—34 made up two—thirds of those targeted. the best way to avoid these games is to go through official channels.—

6:21 am
paris — art, music, fashion, sport. the olympic and paralympic games are returning to this beautiful city for a third time. 1900, 192k, and now 202a. a century on, things have certainly changed — and we're notjust talking about the outfits. every time there's an olympic games, it's a chance for not just sport, but sport tech to take to the world stage. and we're always learning about new ways to monitor how exercise and sport affects the human body. and what's trialled here at elite level will almost certainly trickle down to the rest of us ordinaries at some point.
6:22 am
paris is such an iconic city. and the olympics are notjust an opportunity to revitalise a host nation's infrastructure, but to showcase its beautiful heritage, too. this is pont alexandre iii, widely regarded as the most ornate and extravagant bridge spanning the seine. you'll be seeing a lot of this bridge during the games, because it's involved in several events. the marathon swimming will go under it, and the road cycling will go over it. mind you, while the time trial event finishes at the bridge, spare a thought for the cycling road racers for whom this will be a distant memory by the time they've cycled through paris, down through the chevreuse valley, and then all the way up to a final climb on the butte montmartre. and then there's the mountain biking. it's been an olympic sport since 1996, and this year will take place on elancourt hill — the highest point in the paris region. however, the sport has yet
6:23 am
to appear at the paralympics. but ben derico's been to meet the bikers who want to change that. ben: this is competitive mountain bike racing, a sport where riders hurl themselves off massive jumps, careen through narrow tree—lined trails, and fly downhill at eye—watering speeds. so, i started competing when i was like 12, 11 years old. i used to ride downhill. this is gustavo 0rtiz, a competitive mountain biker and the two—time national champion of his native chile. i was pan american champion, national champion multiple times, and ifinished 20th in a world cup. it was my best result. but, while training in 2017, he had a tragic accident. i crashed in whistler, and ifinished paralysed from my chest down. did you think you would be able to cycle again? no, it never came to my mind.
6:24 am
h ea rt b eats un coeur. un etat d'esprit. although mountain biking will be an official sport at this year's olympic games, it's not yet been made an official sport in the paralympic games. that's partially because the bikes needed to race simply haven't existed. many traditional handcycles are built to be ridden on the road and feature wide wheelbases. 0ccasionally, they even place riders kneeling forward. this position puts their centre of gravity higher — something that would make sharp turns difficult on a loose dirt mountain bike trail. but a canadian company think they've developed a solution. i broke my back in 1996 snowboarding, and prior to that, i loved mountain biking. i loved snowboarding and climbing, i was, like, a kid who loved the outdoors in canada. and very early on in my injury, i recognised that i was going to be 100% reliant on technology. so, a machinist by trade, christian began building
6:25 am
experimental adaptive mountain bikes at home. the problem was always that i would tip. i would tip over, or, like, i would go fast down a hill and corner and, you know, tip to the outside of the corner. for years and years, he tinkered with different designs, but nothing worked. so he focused his energy instead on a custom cross—country ski chair that could shift and pivot over undulating snow. it was while skiing that a light bulb went off. if he just flipped the ski set—up over, he'd have a system that would allow the wheels to articulate and absorb shocks independently. the main, main thing is the articulation. so, with that, you can, like, go through skinny sections, you can crawl into rocks, and then another rock comes, so you canjust move it, and it adjusts by itself. the frame can also absorb big drops, allowing riders to maintain speed through technical sections the same way they would on a standard mountain bike.
6:26 am
aside from its articulating frame, these bikes have a few other unique features that make them especially useful for mountain bikers. unlike most handcycles, these bikes operate with two wheels in the front and one in the back. combined with an upright seating position closer to the ground, riders here can easily shift and pitch their weight to avoid tipping over on sharp turns. the handcycles also come with pedal—assist motors, and there are even fully motorised models as well. currently, each bike is custom—built for the rider, and ranges in price anywhere from $13,000-20,000. bowhead says their bikes are already in 30 countries, and more bikes in more places could help the sport offer meaningful competition and worldwide reach — two requirements to become an official paralympic game. even still, christian says these bikes are helping bring a new—found acceptance for adaptive mountain bike riders. we're a part of cycling now, which is huge for us internally
6:27 am
at bowhead, but it's way bigger for our customer. like, our acceptance is their acceptance. while it has helped with his racing, gustavo says this technology has helped him get back and enjoy riding his bike again. i feel that i am discovering, like, yeah, another kind of riding, because i was so used to just racing, like racing, racing, racing, i'm preparing for racing. but now i am, like, just enjoying the process of riding and going for long rides and, yeah, like, learning how to enjoy being in those places. while we're certain a bowhead won't be at this year's paralympics in paris, they mightjust be kicking up a cloud of dust in los angeles in 2028.
6:28 am
max whitlock is britain's greatest gymnast. he's won multiple titles, including three world championship golds and six 0lympic medals — three of those were also gold. but this will be his last time competing at the games. he's retiring after paris, so fans may want to watch his every move. the olympics, of course, provides great excitement all over the world. but, despite the fact that athletes move fast, they can't be everywhere all at once. so maybe this is a solution. 29 cameras make up this volumetric studio, which will have more than one use for athletes. all those cameras are then fed into a capture pc that runs on intel processing power. we can capture human performances, interactions, singing, dancing, whatever, in full ad. so the result is a 360—degree video that we can use to insert in other 360—degree or virtual environments.
6:29 am
the end result is a digital version of the person which can be beamed into tv studios around the world during broadcast interviews. i'm max whitlock, team gb gymnast and six—time 0lympic medallist, and i'll do a somersault in this new technology. using a tracked camera, we can synchronise the virtual environment and the athlete doing a backflip with the interviewer in real time, so it seems like they're actually together. any athlete would call out and massively welcome new technologies that will enhance the viewing experience, spectator experience, to see sport done in different ways. i think it's... i think it's obviously very, very clever, with new ways to move forward to show sport in different ways. i think that's amazing. so this is a completely authentic recreation of the actual human form. we don't add anything, we don't take anything away. it's the clothing that they're wearing, it's their personality, it's
6:30 am
the words that are coming out of their mouth. so it's a true, genuine capture ofjust that person. today, in this new technology... and here we have it — the smartphone version of an ar athlete, which sports fans can access byjust scanning a qr code. there we go. what was the turning point where it felt like it was fit for purpose? it took a lot of r&d to get to a point where a human actually looked like a human. you can't mess up the way a human looks, right? you know, our human perception is very astute, and so, we can't, you know, if someone's eyes are off a little bit, you know, we recognise that immediately. and so, in the reconstruction process in 3d, we had to get it perfect. and to be able to do this live is quite something. that's right, a lot of ai and machine learning have gone into the process to be able to reconstruct this in real time, and actually live—stream this data to a point where you could be anywhere in the world, interviewing an athlete in paris,

and have a conversation with them such that the latency is so low that it's like, you know, you would be, you know, next to them. my turn now! no problem. well, yes, that's me — somewhat less athletic than max, but at least the virtual version can keep going. and that's it for the short version of the programme. hope you've enjoyed our tour of the tech of the olympics. thanks for watching, and we will see you soon.

6:34 am
from croatia, dug deep and battled their way back to reclaim the title that they won in tokyo and rio — just! and the diving team have been among the most consistent in paris so far, with jack laugher and anthony harding claiming a fourth medal of the games. a bronze in the men's synchronised 3m springboard event. it's also laugher's fourth medal, but the first with his new partner after they teamed up just three years ago. they were beaten to silver by the mexican team, with the final dive of the whole competition, while another gold for — who else but — china means they're on course for a diving clean sweep. andy murray's career has been celebrated by team gb as they toasted all his achievements after he and partner dan evans were beaten in the men's doubles quarter—finals on thursday, at a little gathering. murray says he was ready to finish playing and can't wait to spend more time with his four children. iam i am looking forward to just being at home with them consistently and not having to always be saying "goodbye" to them and explain why
6:35 am
i'm going away, that even when i am on the phone here, the youngest ones are always like, you know, they don't care about the tennis and stuff, theyjust ask don't care about the tennis and stuff, they just ask when you don't care about the tennis and stuff, theyjust ask when you are coming home. they watch me win one match, then they ask if i can come home. and it's like, no, istill have a few more days. just being at home with them and being able to do normal things. it's the start of the new premiership season in scotland, today, and philippe clement is confident he will get time and patience in the rangers manager's job after signing a contract extension until the summer of 2028. his side begin the scottish premiership season, at tynecastle against hearts and he says his challenge this week, has been trying to calm his players down. i feel a lot of excitement this week. so yesterday i even had to stop some guys who were so excited that they were really into the tackles that wasn't necessary, at that moment. so no, there is a good
6:36 am
vibe in the building. ifeel really hungry squad to show themselves. in rugby league, hull kingston rovers moved top of super league in style, as well, after beating warrington wolves. it finished 22—1; — a result that means rovers go above champions wigan warriors into first on points difference, although wigan have a game in hand to play on tuesday. and finally, what's better than winning an olympic gold medal? well, china's huang ya oiong won a gold, and then had a marriage proposal. this was minutes after her doubles win over the south korean pair and following the medal ceremony, fellow chinese badminton player liu yuchen pulled out a ring, got down on one knee and proposed — and this was shown on the videoboard at the arena in paris and the crowd celebrated along with the newly engaged couple. olympic rings to engagement rings. she said yes. no pressure. a lovely
