gustavo petro's h0 is electric. people here almost didn't believe it. it was a nailbiter until the very end. this is a historic vote in so many ways — that's often used as a real cliche but it's really true — he is the first leftist president that colombia has ever had. francia marquez will be the first black vice president colombia has ever had, and it's testament to the changes colombians wanted. rodolfo hernandez, his arrival, the colombian trump, as he was known, has conceded defeat. but gustavo petro will have a job on his hands to try to win over conservative elites that have, for so long, run this country. what this vote shows is the ability for a country like colombia, that has suffered decades of civil conflict, that colombia can actually turn the page on its past and vote for a new future.

katie watson there. with me is leonardo rocha, the bbc world service's americas editor. turn the page is how katy put it. it's a real moment of history. gustavo said exactly that, he was turning the page in his inaugural speech, addressing thousands of people, saying it was time to and the thatcherism and hatred, and he wasn't empowered to bring vengeance or anything. he talked about love, reconciliation and dialogue. with the opposition. it's a big change for colombia more than many people can imagine to have a left—wing leader, someone who was a rebel in a country that's been basically plagued by violence. been basically plagued by violence-— been basically plagued by violence. , ., , , ., violence. there is a sweep of left-wingers _ violence. there is a sweep of left-wingers across - violence. there is a sweep of left-wingers across central l left—wingers across central america and latin america and bringing with it presumably far more emphasis on looking after

said during because of the campaign, cancelled some rallies because of death threats and fears for his own security. are they nonetheless some of his supporters who would say it's all very well talking about peace and reconciliation about those who have gone before need to answer for their actions?— for their actions? there is a call forjustice _ for their actions? there is a call forjustice but - for their actions? there is a call forjustice but both - call for justice but both sides, call forjustice but both sides, because, for example, one of the rebel groups that have now many years ago side of his treaty, committed many atrocities. what the new president—elect says is if you keep going back and forth, you always bring more hatred and suffering. you deal with the justice but he mentioned in his speech there, there are dozens of students, hundreds of students have been arrested and very harshly treated by the government, by prosecutors, for opposing the government. he said let's stop, let's free them and stop that because

there is always one government coming after the other and the peace treaty with the farc wasn't accepted. many fear he will turn colombia into venezuela, the country next door led by a left—wing government but his policies will be much more pragmatic and much more driven towards improving the quality of life of the people. it’s improving the quality of life of the people.— of the people. it's a big opportunity _ of the people. it's a big opportunity and - of the people. it's a big opportunity and a - of the people. it's a big opportunity and a huge | opportunity and a huge challenge rolled into one. leonardo, thank you very much, indeed. president macron of france has suffered a major political setback, after his party failed to win an outright majority in the country's parliamentary elections. less than two months after his own presidential election victory, his ensemble! coalition has fallen significantly short of the 289 seats needed to control the national assembly. our paris correspondent, lucy williamson, has more. emmanuel macron�*s presidency just got tougher. early projections suggest his coalition has lost a third of its seats tonight.

it's now more than 50 seats short of majority. just look at the mood. translation: the situation is unprecedented. _ the national assembly has never seen a configuration of this type in the fifth republic. this situation constitutes a risk for our country, considering the challenges we have to face. this is president macron�*s main opposition, a new alliance of green and left—wing parties dominated by far—left mps. tonight celebrating their new status as the first opposition party of france. translation: is the total- defeat of the president's party and there is no majority. we have achieved the political objective we gave ourselves to bring down the man who, with such arrogance, twisted the arm of the whole country to get elected. but this was the big surprise of the night. marine le pen's far—right national rally party

jumped a handful of seats to almost 90. plenty of opposition to the president from all sides. translation: we are going to continue to bring french l people together as part of a great popular movement unifying all patriots from the right and the left. the parliamentary opposition to mr macron�*s centrist coalition is now much stronger than before, but it's also more fractured, with one bloc led byjean—luc melenchon on the far—left of the chamber and another by marine le pen on the far—right. french politics is realigning around these three political groups. some voters say it's no bad thing if president macron is forced to negotiate with his opponents. others believe denying the government a majority only leads to stagnation. president macron is facing a new era of political opposition that some see as good for democracy and others as bad for france. lucy williamson,

who were born male but who transitioned, and then went on to win women's races. our sports correspondent jane dougall has more. the world swimming championships getting under way in budapest. butjust hours earlier, in the same city, the sport's governing body had made a crucial decision. members of fina voted to effectively bar any trans women who has gone through male puberty from competing in women's events. we have to protect the rights of all our athletes to compete. but we also have to protect competitive fairness at our events, especially women's competition. the policy has been prompted by swimmers such as american lia thomas, the first known transgender swimmer to win a us national college title. thomas will now not be eligible to compete in the women's events at the world championships or olympics. former olympic swimmer and campaigner sharron davies has welcomed it. i am proud of my association

to be the first to come forward and base their rules on proved science. we've asked for that for five years, all we've ever wanted is fair sport for females. it's a divisive subject. the debate has led to other sports examining their policies including world cycling's governing body who will tighten the rules, following trans athlete emily bridges' failed attempt to compete in the women category. fina say they will also create an open category, but those disappointed with the change today say that scarred consolation. if trans women have undergone appropriate period of testosterone suppression, then thier advantages will be mitigated to the point where we can have meaningful competition between trans women. fairness and inclusion are the cornerstones of sport but this issue has seen the two collide,

and when feelings run as deep as this, affecting so many, they won't dissipate anytime soon. jane dougall, bbc news. live now to canberra, and catherine 0rdway, senior fellow and sports law expert at the university of melbourne. thank you very much for your time. first of all, what is your response to the fina decision? is your response to the fina decision?— decision? is a very disappointing - decision? is a very - disappointing decision, in decision? is a very _ disappointing decision, in that they have thrown a blanket over they have thrown a blanket over the entire transgender community, which i think is unfair, and doesn't take into account the nuances in either the community or in fact within fina itself which of course has a number of different disciplines from diving, artistic swimming to synchronised swimming, water polo, as well as the speed events, so ijust don't understand what fina is trying to do here. i understand what fina is trying to do here-— understand what fina is trying to do here. ~' , to do here. i think the message from the president _ to do here. i think the message from the president was - from the president was competitive fairness is the most important thing and we

just focus on races if we like for the moment, and sharon davis, you may have about 200 saying that they have relied on proven science.— proven science. well, have the ? proven science. well, have they? that's _ proven science. well, have they? that's what - proven science. well, have they? that's what i - proven science. well, have | they? that's what i wonder. they are — the ruling from fina is seeing that people have to have completed their transition process by the time they are 12 years old, and i don't know what completed means, that is interesting to discover, and also, the medical world is recommending that children don't began transition until after they are ia years old, so that effectively means that any transgender male to female has no chance of competing in competitive swimming events their entire life. but competitive swimming events their entire life.— their entire life. but i think their entire life. but i think the message _ their entire life. but i think the message is _ their entire life. but i think the message is actually - their entire life. but i think. the message is actually they will have a chance, and it will be in a specific category for transgender athletes. but that is also surprising _

transgender athletes. but that is also surprising to _ transgender athletes. but that is also surprising to me - is also surprising to me because how many transgender athletes are they anticipating? right now they can point to one, leah thomas in the us who was competing at college level, the reality is this is not a problem. we have had transgender... problem. we have had transgender. . .- problem. we have had transcender... . ., transgender. .. leah thomas, unfortunately _ transgender. .. leah thomas, unfortunately from _ transgender. .. leah thomas, unfortunately from this - unfortunately from this perspective, it does show that there is actually a problem. well i disagree because she is not on the national team, she is at college level and this is one athlete and across the world we have had transgender athletes competing in a range of sports, they are not on the olympic podium, we have not seen them winning world championships golf tournaments are other things, so i'm not sure that there is a problem, and definitely the community level sports would say there is no problem and we want to include people.— no problem and we want to include people. and inclusivity is such a critical— include people. and inclusivity is such a critical part _ include people. and inclusivity is such a critical part of - include people. and inclusivity is such a critical part of what l is such a critical part of what everyone is trying to reach out to, or at least one would hope,

so catherine in a nutshell, what would your ideal scenario be for this?— be for this? because there are so few people _ be for this? because there are so few people seeking - be for this? because there are so few people seeking to - so few people seeking to transition and then also play an elite sport, i would like them to look at each person as an individual, and to look at this on a case—by—case point basis rather than throwing a blanket over it because what we have right now is a very poor message out to some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people in our community, and that's very dangerous. catherine, thank you very much indeed. golf, and england's matt fitzpatrick has won the us open to clinch his first major title. he finished one shot ahead of america's will zalatoris and scottie scheffler. fitzpatrick, who's now more than $3 million better off because of the victory, is the first englishman to win the us open since justin rose in 2013.

�*s monday is world refugee day, an annual event organised by the united nations, that draws attention to the plight of refugees all across the globe. but they are not always welcome, and their arrival can cause tension. in south africa, one group is trying to ease that tension, and is using martial arts to help. the bbc�*s tim allman reports. at this dojo injohannesburg, they are pursuing harmony through the controlled use of violence. this is studio for piece, teaching children from wherever they come from the merits of discipline, self—control and cooperation. friendship commerce respect, they are all things taught on they are all things taught on the mat, things that children learn day by day, by participating in the activities, working together, they learn to live together as well. �* . ., , �* they learn to live together as well. ~ . �* ., well. and that hasn't always been too — well. and that hasn't always been too easy. _ well. and that hasn't always been too easy. this - well. and that hasn't always

been too easy. this was - been too easy. this was johannesburg in 2019, shops, mostly owned by nigerians, looted and ransacked, part of a wave of xenophobic attacks that shocked the nation. back at the dojo, thejudo instructor says the emphasis here is on unity rather than division. translation: for me, everybody who lives he was like my family. i am congolese, who lives he was like my family. iam congolese, i who lives he was like my family. i am congolese, i like, i'm african, we are all african. for me it's important to help the children here because it helps everybody. this is a poor and sometimes violent community, a tough place to grow up from many of these youngsters. but, with the right throws on hold, there is hope for the future. ijust want i just want to close with pictures out of bogota as gustavo petro is celebrating his presidential election victory, making him the country's first ever left—wing

president, a man who was at one point a left—wing gorilla. that has all changed for columbia. —— guerrilla. hello again. for those of you wondering if the hot, sunny spell last week was our summer, don't worry, this week is looking pretty warm as well. the satellite picture picks up an area of cloud that we had across southern parts of both england and wales during sunday. that actually produced outbreaks of rain which became a little bit more organised through the evening time but right now we are seeing this rain band pull away and increasingly, the weather will become drier here over the next few hours. showers fading away from the northeast of scotland, so most parts of the uk, clear skies to take us into monday morning but it will be quite a chilly start the day forjune, temperatures six or seven for parts of scotland and northern england as well. it might be relatively fresh air that we have at the moment however, in the week ahead we are going to draw in north—westerly winds, actually milder winds dragging in there that's originated

from north america and that milder air will be pushing in behind this warm front, that will be a feature of the weather over the next few days. for monday morning we have got a fresh start to the day but for most, clear, blue sunny skies and there won't be much cloud even into the afternoon. the humidity level�*s low, it will feel warm in the sunshine but there will be some thicker cloud working into north—west scotland thanks to that warm front and that's going to be bringing some low cloud, a bit of mist and fog around coasts and hills and patches of drizzle. 1a degrees for stornoway but for most, temperatures into the low 20s. it's going to feel warm in that sunshine. that more humid air will make inroads on tuesday in across scotland and northern ireland, that is why it is turning cloudier here and the cloud thick enough for an occasional spot of light rain or drizzle particularly in the morning, again, there could be a few mist and fog patches. further south across england and wales, another fine and sunny day but we are starting to see those temperatures rise higher, 25 celsius in the best of the sunshine across parts of the midlands. wednesday should be some brighter weather i think moving into parts of scotland and northern ireland at times,

still hanging on to a fair bit of sunshine across england and wales but with that more humid airarriving, temperatures can rise faster and further so wednesday we are looking at highs up to 28 celsius. the north and west where it does stay a bit cloudier, temperatures more generally into the high teens. we could start to see some showers threatening the southeast on thursday, otherwise more hot and sunny weather locally across parts of england and wales, still 19 or 20 for places in scotland and northern ireland but we might see rain in the west by friday.
