. and an india search and religious violence cast a shadow over 5 minister and a wrench promoting new term in office. the 1st state of attacks is putting in the muslim community on edge the welcome to the show on the call for at least a series of arson attacks on francis high speed rail network or causing travel chaos. just hours before the opening ceremony of the paris olympics authorities, a rail lines including those passing through montparnasse and paris, have been severely affected. save the coordinate of the tax are also causing cancellations and delays to services, including those between france and germany. almost 800000 passengers are affected repairs are under way, but officials say the restrictions could last throughout the weekend. the acts of

sabotage expos, frances vulnerability, despite the tight security protocol surrounding the mega sporting events and the attacks are also affecting travelers in brussels and neighboring belgium. my niece is crying in the simmons tomorrow. so we've got to watch her push a woodman place with the simmons when it's um yeah. and we've got family there already. so we're trying to get there. but you know, we're okay with the discover. the medium i bore on that, well, we don't have any choice. we'll just have to wait at our original train from amsterdam, the brussels got cancelled at 2 o'clock. they allowed us, however, euro star to get the 11 o'clock. so we should be able to get out of the breakfast and get back to london, but we're still waiting to see if we can catch another print. let's go straight to the double. you're a foreigner, jonathan crane, and den megan to paris. jonathan, what's the latest you can tell us about what authorities are calling coordinated

acts of sabotage? while in many ways this is confirmed uh, the organizes west fee is they were worried that these games could be the target of some kind of attack. and this is what seems to have happened here. now, of course, it's too early to say, we don't know who is behind it at this stage, but what is clear is that seems to be coordinated attacks, as you say, nothing out, some of the french right away networks, major lines, hundreds of thousands of passages have been stranded between stations and so yes, really confirming some of the rest face of the organize those different supports. minnesota has cooled the attacks of poor legs if there's an attack on the athletes, an attack on the olympic games itself. but if it hit spa, i a see i didn't see international olympic committee presidents on the spot, so he still has full confidence in differential authorities. mm hm. and everybody helps. the opening ceremony will go ahead at the time or speaking now it looks like

this is going to happen that despite these attacks and a horrible weather forecast, what can we expect from the show then as well, i suppose i should stop by talking about the massive security operation, given what we've just talked about, some 45000 police offices have been deployed to secure the opening ceremony. it's taking place on the river sent behind lots of steel fences. the whole area is closed off a massive security perimeter. a huge security in operation because this opening ceremony is like no other than we've ever seen before. it's the 1st one that's taking place outside of a stadium. as i said, along side the river side, down the river, send a 6 comments, a stretch. so we're going to have thousands of estimates on some $100.00 bytes, freighting cost, some of tyrese's, most iconic landmarks. this is not for the on valley the eiffel tower. that's where it will ends up. now the artistic director who says he wants to say fonts in or it's diverse is t. as i said, this is not like a normal. let me ceremony, right? is usually done in stages, is o rolled up into one compact,

it's going to be x going on. asked the athlete surprising down the river. now some of the form is a closely guarded secret. roommates of lady ga. gov or celine dion. but whoever performs it, powers can pull this off, it will probably be, or the most visually spectacular. i mean, ceremonies in history. all right, so a big showed to be expected, but this is 1st and foremost a sporting and then of course donovan and there is plenty to look forward on that front as well. let's take a look. similar files comes to paris looking to add to the full, really big goals. practices no, always going to plan. but the american gymnast feels better than the tokyo games. 3 years ago the she missed out on gold, citing mental health issues. she gained widespread praise for speaking out about problems. but this time, what supposed to be the focus? yeah, i think everything that i've been through, i want to push the limits. i want to see how far i can go. i wanna see what i'm still capable of so that once i step away from the sport,

i can truly be happy with my career and say i gave it my all. and that's how i feel like currently in this position. swimming is center stage with opening water event set to take place in the same the river, despite pollution, concerns to the pool is where it sat in the 1st week of the games. brittany's adam peachey is a free time gold medalist and he's targeting more glory and the 100 made his breast stroke. the build up has been dominated by 11 chinese limits being given the all clear to compete at the positive doping tests from 2021. we'll put down to contamination for me, i want to add 5 and it was no fat and 6 enjoyment out from a so it's uh, i just do what i do. that's a lot of control. get my best preparation. and at this point in time, it just be a distraction to thing. anything else uh, cuz nothing really. i can do another brittany meanwhile will say good bye with twice olympic champion time. the movie retiring from tenants after the games. well,

roughly on that though, is also close to the end of his career. athletics dominates the 2nd week of the 4th night. can you spell? it keeps you okay, is looking for a 3rd matters in gold, in probably his last games and jamaican spent a silly, i'm afraid the price was to add to the $3.00 golds as a 5th and final olympics. the basketball finals are among the last events in paris if stupid style of rome, james, looking to lead the us men to glory, the roster is being compared to the iconic 1992 dream team, which included michael job in the mid the glitz break. dancing make states and pick debut in paris as organizes try to attract young audiences. paris we'll see for the reading is again after the co, with 19 pandemic. big crowds in tokyo. but it's not all back to normal. russian and by the russian athletes can only compete as neutrals due to the wall renew grain. 2 weeks of sporting drama await as well as mark

says starting from are and that could start as early as tomorrow because the chinese swim is implicated in that doting scandal. 1111 of them will be taking part in these uh olympics that we could see some big protests and i marked it a good job talking about some of the athletes involved. i'm going to talk about the sports breaking a new on attracting a younger audience. the higher see the international olympic committee really trying to play that up. it's building up, it stains as being the most sustainable ever all of, of, and use a pop from one, the aquatic serena. either existing or temporary structures other summer lock you. the games itself is not really a sustainable enterprise of millions of people coming in on average settings to be involved in the compensations. but nonetheless, the odyssey of focusing on the site one, send a power to the $5050.00 between man and female athletes at these games. and the whole of the city is essentially being turned into an open field to place an iconic venue. the beach volleyball would be taking place at the eiffel tower. uh,

we've got quite a few events taking place at the south side of the side and for the people who were interested in called meadows. the 1st one will be handed out some, all right, in a mix team shooting events to exciting waste ahead and dw jonathan crane and they are covering at all for us. thank you so much. come on here is has moved one big step closer to securing the democratic party nomination to run against donald trump for the us presidency. and a video released today. by her campaign, the vice president who was aiming to become the 1st female president. and the 1st woman of color to lead her country of game perhaps are most important endorsement to date from the man who became america's 1st black president and his wife. hello. hello. hello. hey, hey there. oh, your boss together. oh, it's good to hear you, but i, i can't have this phone call without saying to my girl, carla,

i am proud of you. this is going to be historic. we called to say, michelle, and i couldn't be prouder doors here to do everything we can to get you through the selection of and into the oval office. oh, my goodness, michelle practice need so much me. i'm looking forward to doing this with 2 of you, doug. and i both and getting out there being on the road. but most of i just want to tell you that the words you have spoken to in the friendship that you have given over all these years the more than the rest. so thank you both so much and we're going to have some fun with this to learn. how are you as correspondent janelle jim allowed has of course been following these developments and joins me now from washington to now. how important is this endorsement for come on here. nicole, this is very important. this was the big one. the bottom is, of course, considered the most popular figures within the democratic party. some polls even

put michelle obama as the most popular figure in american politics period. they're also very effective messengers and campaigners so they could provide a boost that could help campbell, a harris extend the momentum that she's been enjoying ever since joe biden decided to withdraw from the race. however much has also been made of the delay of how long it took the obama as a to make this endorsement for a campbell of harris. it has to be said, however, that it's not unusual. it's not unheard of, especially for, for rock obama to kind of hang back and wait until the democrats have definitively chosen their candidate before making his endorsement. and in this unusual situation, it taught the understanding is that a bomb a did not want to put his phone on the scale. he did not want to fuel criticism that accommodate harris was enjoying a coordination instead of emerging as the best candidates are under

a trying set of circumstances. and so that's why they have the endorsement now. and yesterday, harris met with is really prime minister netanyahu that was after he addressed the us congress on wednesday. let's listen into what he says then about harris's opponent in the race for the white house. donald trump. i want to fact president trump, for leadership and brokering, there's dark abraham accords. the moon is really is where we moved that president trump emerged safe and sound from that desperately attack on him. desperately attack on number can democracy. there is no political violence and the mattresses the

i also want to thank president trump for all the things he did for room for recognizing israel sovereignty over the golden hearts. to confront of good was oppression. recognizing jerusalem as our capital of moving the american embassy to the that's due to our internal capital. never to be divided again. all right, lots of praise there for donald trump. do no, no, no is going to meet him in mara lago today. the 2 were very close until the following out in 2020. so what can we expect from their meeting today?

nicole, this is going to be the 1st time in about 4 years that these 2 men will meet again face to face a and in those 4 years there were some rocky moments like you just alluded to. now in 2020 trump was annoyed with benjamin netanyahu. for calling biden after his 2020 election election when of course, because it undermined trunk narrative that the election was stolen, which of course it was not stolen. they've reportedly since broken the ice and a 4th of july phone call. but now yeah, who wants to use this meeting in order to mend relations even further away the view of course that trump could become president and those going words that we played earlier. his goal in words, for trump, in his address to congress, that's meant to lay the groundwork for that mending of the relationship. as for trump, well, what he's probably going to do is ext is call for an end to the warren gauze. now

he's going to press benjamin netanyahu to do more to get the hostages released. it's an opportunity for him to appear like a statesman. and to really paint the republican party as the party that is loyal to israel. but of course, a company. all of this all are going to be the pro palestine protesters outside mar, logo, those profile us time protests or is have boss followed that and young pretty much on every stage of this trip. everyone watching out for what might happen when he meet when they meet top pro tron protesters pro israel protesters. one of the reasons of course that they've shored up security at mar logo today. the other being on the field, assassination attempt on trump. a few weeks ago, dw is janelle dom alone in washington dc. thanks so much. great speaking to. it's kind of like look now at some other stories making news around the world's high from k me has weekend to a tropical storm after hitting mainland china. it has displaced nearly 300000 people in the east of the country. public transport has been suspended across the

region. the typhoon kills more than 2 dozen people after tore through taiwan and the philippines earlier this week. what sorry that was already is in california. have arrested a man suspected of starting a mass of wildfire on wednesday. officials say it was sparked when he flushed a flaming car into a ravine. thousands have had to flee the wildfire, which is the state's largest this year. and another fast moving wall fire in canada, as alberto province has force 25000 people to flee and effect that the tourist town of jasper were no immediate reports of injuries, but authority say the flames have destroyed up to half of the towns, buildings a fast moving inferno has been raging in the canadian rockies in the province of alberta. these plains, higher than treetops have left entire forests in ashes, and reached the town of jasper overnight. tens of thousands have been forced to evacuate. if i break down no, i will. what will i do?

india. now where the party of prime minister and the render modi may have lost its majority and reason, national elections. but the hindu nationalist agenda continues to result in religious extremism and the targeting of minorities, according to the indian association for the protection of civil rights. there's even been a surge and religious violence since the start of melodies. new term. the non governmental organization has recorded 8 lynchings in june alone. now by comparison, there were 21 lynchings in the entire 2023. the fresh spain of the taxes for indian muslims on edge in states like which are per dash as the w's audio bought reports or the family grapples. but the loss of the loved one. no. okay,

what do you see brother fleet was leached by him to mall model. i suppose you tony with the to the most and just to see if they took a piece spends to check if you was a muslim dish should be noted that was cracked and be to move. then it doesn't matter which states an item, frauds, few meters will be from his home. do not have my brother never spoke to me without us mine. i still see he will come back. i know you know that piece. we want justice for him. i bleed to the world to stand with us in giving him justice. my brother's death should not be in vain. incident has it brought to the whole community? the days we hear about violence almost every day, this here is slipped into our head. when i go to market, i fear for myself, but what if they kill me also? submitted it'd be the way our community was in total shock after then. so we're going to get it up. there is a mintz year amongst all and we still years going to that area and he would have

another $360.00 to arrest. do actually 6 people and charge them with murder, accused man, clean sleep was a t, something his family denies. to me those over you from for each house members of india's him to nation this bgp bought cather, dumont, the release of the accused man heading the protest, shook into la body. the featured deed to its former made up a stone with save some strangers. forcefully entered the house with a group of men and then tries to attack you. should we welcome such a person? should such people be worshiped that? yeah, the public between them on the trash team, but that is public next. yes. 25 minutes to note in the movie, spotty,

and also to meet you out of the national elections. there was whole the wireless against most names and other minorities would threes for the political analyses. parties hasn't changed. that deserves the deals. numbers should have brought sobriety in the attitude, all parties and the party. and it would have discipline itself. that was the expectation. but that was false because the video ration that are off existence of by the agent, the party, especially in the last 10 years. and the very argument for this existence is an theme was getting widens, a violence that is already claimed silver lives. so small, the costs to be elected for each step adds another number for the spec. this stick means another 3 was, was when i think about my brothers to and i thought i just pray to god is this kind

of tragedy should not happen to any muslim brother or to anyone in this world and a whole at, for each scream, mom which sees a press, what is lead for the? what is community and incentive allowing me to appear in northeast india. earlier i spoke to a peace activist harsh thunder, who directs the center for equity studies in india, he accused isn't around promoting of having us change speech during the most recent election campaign, and i asked him how much he things, but the j p is feeling religiously motivated violence, i think you need to understand that the n t must in violence and heat is, is not incidental to what the pgp is doing. it's sent to the codes ideological executive psychologically called because the median b and the organization,

which is it's, i told you goods from the link to the other says was constituting opposition to the idea, the imagination of a country that money back guarantee that goes to which would be a country baby, but of if teaching a defeat identity in a sitting gender would be input citizen to be able to be and, and, and the major be artist says be bringing in good, which is poured into majority. and which was like a minority advocacy to minority a would have to live if i told one the 2nd class citizens. and i've been talking about them as a minority, we must recognize they've been talking about 100000000 people of which is larger than the population of germany, france and in the holding, and a couple of other countries. the population of. yeah, and there were hopes that the battery p losing its majority would help improve the situation for these 200000000 muslims in india. but for the time being that doesn't

seem to be the case. why is that of this election? i came to the addiction that beep beep beep beep just a baby who was for us, you know, many of us believed it was the most important condition of the independence. because if the be zipping back with the funded majority of the time they bought, if it was left, if it goes to include democracy, be diminished, they would, there was no deductible. took a 100 use the you know, the fact that they didn't form of have a majority on their own. they had to have a dime. sparknotes were not logically aligned with them. did give some degree of hope that they would be a kind of solving don't a motivation of the kind of, of, of i logic because i'd like to be driven to eat a message they've given very clearly in the 1st 5 or 6 weeks after the

elections has been a fall from and he's sleeping don't it is up to a shot, right. he's once again, and he's seen acts of anything and he buttons across the country and the scene rule of the police which actually treats the victims as, as the, as, as a whole good d been perpetrators and, and the crowd that attacks them is, is. ready treat as people who just defined in that and yeah, and therefore we don't have much time, but i don't want to get to and to another point, the beach repeat and the run promoting will still govern for at least another term . no, you say, but the promot hate speech, but then turns into violence. what can be done in this current situation to, to turn that trend around, or i think that, that, everybody, i mean it, the majority of indians us to have them voted for movie and,

and the bodies and all the presence of a society have to have to stand functional, much more like actual sort of strongly and then big whiskey, big listing brothers and sisters in the stand. i think the stand from the victim opposing and the violins and he that the, that they're being subject to it is for people like me who don't belong to the list . and feet will actually have a good responsibility to stand on ski boat and fighting, accept, and not accept the direction in which the wisdom of these deacon the country. and that is what you're doing now is pace active as harsh lender. thank you so much for your time. i. it was that you're up to date up next april. india looks at india dedicated conservation heroes. if it's the latest headlines for some analysis
