of use at least. lily joins us from the french capital for more. hello lisa. i liked what i saw, but what are other people saying about the opening of the games? well, you know, i think many people here agree at least old ladies. i've been talking to the headlines of saying outstanding, taking magnificent. and if you look at what happened last night on the sun, it was indeed extraordinary a show, you know, telling the history of powers of bronze. there was culture, there was music. they took us to not to them. they took us to the lou law. and i'm a say my favorite maryland was when i come over, i came onto the state. she walks across the rates and just right before they was the gods going to be can you those day for me to tell you musicians who had played and the bodies to flight that music. and then she, the media, you franco, margin singer who had been criticized head of the games and received racist remarks

. she signed her song and suddenly this face united, the stiff musicians of the gods, whatever became they broke into a dance. it was a perfect symbol of french history. and what funds is now, you know, a diverse country and people are greeting that saying some are false. this is my friends right now. wow. that way, meaning more impressive highlights. there's also been a slight diplomatic incident involving the career. tell us about that as well. the south korea was announced with the official name of north korea at a country, a nuclear country, re switch. south korea is still at war, technically speaking. and the i o. c came out of the say, you know, we're really sorry for that. as of south korean officials were complaining side, we really are asking for a full my apology. apparently the ice, he's happy to do that by that's quite a mistake to make that was

a mazda of disruption and also to that chain network. on friday i had of the opening ceremony. do we need services returning to normal now? yes. so mostly the trains are back to normal is still, you know, some disruption that will take maybe today and tomorrow. but on most of these high speed train lines, about 4, you know, 4 or 5 trains are running a minute. what happened was a so called coordinated his heart, at least what that's what the authorities belief they open and an investigation into that they thinking it was damaged schools to a 2 things with the intent of damaging the interest of the nation. so that taking this very seriously, but for now it's on 9 who is, who is behind these coordinates to tax write us these investigations continue before i let you go. what olympic competitions should we be looking today at?

well, there's lots in the mix scenario. it's still early stages, but i didn't have a look at basketball as swimming at a beach volleyball my favors today. you will be of the skate boarding. that's also taking place here already. skateboarding, i, uh okay. i'll be following the basketball. see what the teams have to offer a date of use at least that lou is important from paris. thank you. are now moving on to other stories. uncontrolled wildfire is causing widespread devastation in western canada and the united states arrived file to and they do up here in california. local authorities declared any emergency as phones where i destroyed and thousands of people evacuated from the area. and mine is suspected of stopped him to find out where the burning car has to be interested in kind of that wildfire as i've destroyed much of the popular tourist center, just spot in the western province of alberta,

25000 people have fled the homes and around half the towns, buildings have burnt down, is a fast moving, and funnel has been raging in the canadian rockies in the province of alberta. these plains, higher than treetops have left and die of forests and ashes, and reach the town of jasper overnight. tens of thousands have been forced to evacuate. if i break down now, i will. what will i do? i was just seats and crying and nothing is going to change, right. jasper risk consider to fit your perfect town and as a popular to respond to, it gets roughly 2500000 visitors every year. authority said the fires have caused significant damage, and that firefighting crews are working on the dangerous conditions. the incredibly hard work, the firefighters have resulted in fire activity that is significantly subdued. however, it is important to note that the fire is still out of control,

and it remains unsafe for people to return. due to the severity of the damage, hundreds of firefighters from around the world or coming to alberta to help other parts of canada are also engulfed by why fi is including british columbia. canada is no stranger to wi fi, is in 2023, a record number of fires, fullest hundreds of thousands of canadians to evacuate. ecologist robert gray specializes in dealing with wildfire as he says that situation and kind of the end to us is that a critical point? the most the modeling suggests that the kind of fire that we're seeing today, we didn't anticipate to see under climate change until about 202-030-2035. and we can expect to see doubling and tripling of the area burnt within the next couple of decades. so yeah, it is getting much worse, and the best thing to do is, is uh,

basically get people out of the way, including firefighters, is mother nature, that proceeds large fires out. we have to do much more on, on the upfront mitigation side. but right now when the fire isn't going, it's mostly just get people out of the way and hope and pray for changes in the weather. i mean, we need to do a lot more culture and prescribe burning on the scale of hundreds of thousands of factors a year. the usda is burning about $9000000.00 acres a year and i think last year and can we burned about $9000.00 acres? so we need to be doing much more of that, and it does show that the ending and burning is very beneficial to preventing large scale, high severity fires, and minimizing damage. that's what got some of us stories making headlines around the world. finance ministers from the welds rich as 20 countries. i've patched the tax, the super rich mall, brazil, which currently holds the presidency of the g twins. he has proposed the 2 percent minimum tax on bidding as friends, spain in south africa have expressed support by the united states and germany have dismissed the need for a global deal. donald trump says he has

a very good relationship with a user id, prime minister, and i mean nothing yahoo! the 2 men met at trump smart lago estates in florida. that former us president has been trying to mend relations when that's in yahoo. which solid in recent years a russian generalist as being held in custody oh, by last length, width and later position. need alex and i found it on to nina 5 us kaya, who expo on independence news outlet is accused of poston. messages on the platform run by in a bonnie's team. 89. the claim. if you, if you, i is to hold 3 days of morning, full victims of a divest aging mot slide. more than 250 people were killed in the disaster. and their remote area in the south funeral was helping out for those who died. no idea of what we're talking about the olympics while squat to watch the powers

olympics as south sedans, basketball team is the 1st time the site has qualified and they are the only basketball as from africa. a nation of the games, not a team, is hoping this will be the staff of basketball revolution back home. it's the only basketball stadium in south through time coach spa, one of the country's national plays is that to watch a local game sound sedan currently has the most successful team in africa. it made headlines at the world cup, and it's now qualified. so the olympics to compete with the best in the world around play, the why they don't play the play this or why not play that because that's something that i just, you know, be proud of the supporting sensation and one of africa's poorest countries ranked by years of war, south so done only gained its independence from sou, done in 2011. it was only $11000000.00 inhabitants. the country's potential to make

its name of the world of basketball is still enormous of the heights. so people say that's just giving people 50 percent or do so now you've got to work without the proper practical, proper way of learning to give him the best to say look as i, i don't think it's just going to be offered to sort of set up a week to the work i'm i'm excited young man here or from total then to me just the few sports grounds are always over crowded. and many dream with making their fortunes with basketball. coach ball once more than a few individual success stories. he wants to make a name for sound, so done as a basketball nation. i'll go to just on, you know, when something for 1000, then i'm going to continue the plan for the national team as long as i can, that school is going to be more young kids coming in all of this stuff. so there's

gonna have to wait for them, make it hard to them. so they're gonna come then what is the biggest use that they need to feel coach, find his fellow players will soon be competing against the world's top teams. at this he has an impact. it will be self students opportunity to show it has what it takes to play with the best such a great story. now while the games kicks off with great fanfare and power is far above the on the international space station, nasa astronaut, swear, also inspired by the olympics periods, the past the torch into pods and also this, well, the friends include in running and this goes taking full advantage of the weights less this or the final frontier of sport leads in space.

the that's all for this. i'll stay with us. we have more news on the top of the the can you see is what old cars tires have to do with the production? here's a hands on business so we'll need the snow on youtube the .
