Clevelands Baseball Team changes their� s to try and avoid offending native americans. Hello and welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. The delayed 2020 tokyo olympics are finally under way. It follows months of uncertainty, and a Build Up marred by protests and the resignations of seniorjapanese officials. But for the athletes, the day is here. 11 Gold Medals are up for grabs on saturday and Day One of the official Olympics Schedule is packed, with plenty of key events to keep an eye on in the coming hours including the first Gold Medal which will go to the winner of the ten Metre Air Rifle for women. That final is under way. Cycling the Mens Road Race is just getting under way, starting at mount fuji, and is expected to take around seven hours. Slovenias Tadej Pogacar goes in this fresh from winning the tour de france. Tennis just two weeks after wimbledon, the competition for Olympic Gold begins with Novak Djokovic on court. After lighting the flame at the Opening Ceremony Home favourite Naomi Osaka plays sunday. Japanese support will also be high for the womens football. The 2012 silver medallists play team gb. Meanwhile Team Usa will hope to overcome their disappointing defeat to sweden when they play new zealand. And theres a debut for a new form of basketball a three players a side event. Its played on a Half Court with both teams shooting into the same hoop. Japan start the tournament against the russian team competed under a neutral flag. These games have been a long time in the making. Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield Hayes was with a family as they watched the Opening Ceremony. For the uno family, it has been a long, anxious wait to get to this moment. The Unos Are Serious Olympic fans. Dad has spent over £3000 on olympic tickets, so you can imagine the mixed emotions theyre feeling tonight. Yeah, we think about, you know, the kids. Its their very first time to hold their olympics injapan, so we were excited. I am very disappointed, Masato Uno says, if they were not going to have spectators, they should have postponed again until next year, then we could have welcomed people from abroad properly. Chanting. Those who think the whole Show Shouldve been scrapped long ago were out on the streets again this evening. Cheering. But they were vastly outnumbered by the crowds that have turned out to try and get a glimpse of the action. This was Shinjuku Park at lunchtime as Japans Air Force Display Team painted the olympic rings across the sky. The olympics is very. I mean, its a once in a lifetime kind of event, right . So, ijust wanted to have my kids have experience to see those athletes at least. But, i mean, due to this covid i9, i guess things have got to be the way it is. For months, weve heard that japan doesnt want the games, that people are afraid. It didnt look like it tonight. The contrast between whats going on inside the olympic Stadium Tonight and whats going on outside in tokyo could not be more stark. Because of covid, because of the state of emergency, the stadium seats are empty, and yet here we are right outside, Tens Of Thousands of people gathered in public squares and public parks to try and glimpse a bit of the action. And if you go in the streets round here, the restaurants are all full, life is going on as normal. Theres some pretty strange logic going on here. Translation i am sure the government is taking measures to prevent the spread of the virus by separating the athletes from the public, so im not worried. For some, these scenes show the ban on olympic spectators is unnecessary, but with covid cases in tokyo climbing rapidly, others will say this demonstrates exactly why the Spectator Ban is needed. Rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, tokyo. We are here at Tokyo Bay in the south of the japanese capital but lets go to the bbc� s Mariko-oi'>Mariko Oi who is close to the Olympic Stadium in the centre of tokyo.

It was jampacked last night and you can see a lot of people still queueing up to take a picture with the olympic rings this morning. When people were here last night watching the Opening Ceremony from outside the Olympic Stadium, they got very excited when they saw that Roving Globe Made of 2000 drones last night. I also managed to get some newspapers. Delayed by a year, no cheers,. But it also said, lets hope the power of hope can bring some joy. Lets hope the power of hope can bring somejoy. It also says to stay safe and to stay healthy. Another newspaper i want to show you is this one with a picture of emperor naruhito, declaring the opening of the Olympics Yesterday during the Opening Ceremony, just as his grandfather did for the i964 just as his grandfather did for the 1964 games. There were some people in Social Media comparing the duration of the Emperors Speech which was not very long, versus Thomas Buckss Speech which went on for more than ten minutes.

I was talking to my japanese colleagues this morning is at saying tokyo was trying to show off the female governor as well as the header of, japan has long been criticised for the wider gender graph.

And off a lot of Sports Action coming up and you will be bringing it to us, thanks, sarah.

These are some of the men accused of carrying out the killing 26 colombians and two haitian americans. Three were killed by police, and five are still on the run.

The american Baseball Team the Cleveland Indians have announced they are changing their name. From the end of this season, they will be known as the cleveland guardians. Theyre the latest us Sports Franchise to change their name after criticism some found it offensive. The bbc� s Tim Allman has the story. For more than a century, they have been known as the Cleveland Indians. But in recent years that name has become increasingly controversial so it is up with the old and in with the new. We are excited to usher in the next area of professional baseball in cleveland as the cleveland guardians. Adding to our teams cleveland guardians. Adding to our teams deep cleveland guardians. Adding to our teams deep and cleveland guardians. Adding to our teams deep and rich our teams deep and rich history in our community. After Bein History in our community.

After being known amongst other being known amongst other things as the rustlers, the bluebirds, and the naps, they were first called the Indians Backin were first called the indians back in 1915. The nickname and others like it is seen by others like it is seen by others as racially insensitive, particularly to native americans. Particularly to native americans. ~. ,. , , americans. We ask ourselves why we are the americans. We ask ourselves why we are the only americans. We ask ourselves why we are the only race americans. We ask ourselves why we are the only race that americans. We ask ourselves why we are the only race that are we are the only race that are subjected to that. If this were truly an honour, then why wouldnt other races be subjected to it . It is racially offensive and we dont want to be the only group that is singled out for such an honour. Not everybody is in favour. Former President Donald Trump issued a statement saying a small group of people with absolutely crazy ideas and policies is forcing these changes to destroy our culture and heritage. And its notjust baseball. Last year, washingtons american Football Team retired the name the redskins and will announce a new name in 2022. The relationship between sport and politics can be difficult but the owner of the team that will soon no longer be known as the Cleveland Indians says that while the transition will be difficult for many, he hopes to unite the community. Tim allman, bbc news. Now we could soon be paying more for our cappuccinos and lattes because the price of Coffee Beans has gone through the roof. Arabica coffee futures have risen around 25 in a week, to their highest in more than six and a half years. So whats behind the Record Spike . There has been a big frost in the Minas Gerais region, the prime coffee growing region of brazil. And for more of an explanation on whats been happening to this Years Coffee crops, ive been speaking to pedro dias, a Coffee Farmer in the region. I tried to pick a few branches in our Coffee Crop to try to show you this damage. Its not the same thing as being here and looking with your own eyes at the damage and how heartbreaking it is to see and to predict that our next crop will be affected. The only thing is its too early to figure out how much its going to affect because theres more frost coming on the forecast. Just a few examples. This is a branch that got bit by the frost. You can see the leaves are falling down, the top of the branches are just breaking and its pretty dry. Its not really good. This is how it should be looking right now, with the buds here for the next seasons crop, you know, all beautiful, all coming out ready for the spring blooming in a couple of months. But not, its all dry and toasted. Crosstalk. I see, we can really see the difference. The coffee. Crosstalk. We can really see the difference in what you just showed us there. How much of your crop is affected . Well, its a bit too early to say how much in a percentage, brazil wise, but for example on my farm, from what weve seen and the stories that weve been marking down from what my parents passed to me, we are afraid that it could go up to about 50 breakage for the next year, but this is my case, according to what the frost hit me. So this happened this past tuesday, from monday to tuesday evening, and in another week with the forecast showing another one coming, so we have to see then it all go by and after the winter season, we can tell more exactly on that percentage but its still going to be a lot, thats for sure. Pedro dias. Back now to our top story, as the olympics begins its first full day in tokyo. We have our first medal winner, a chinese athlete has won the Gold Medal in the air rifle. One new sport for this games is skateboarding. There are two disciplines, park and street, and one of the oldest debutantes will be the american alexis sablone. At 34 years old, this Street Skater is a Role Model for many of the younger competitors. Shes been talking to the bbc. When i started skating, i felt like it wasnt cool, you know . It was, like, punks and kids that didnt fit in. And the olympics does feel like this point of no return. And maybe its already reached that, but skateboarding will look dramatically different. It gives it this different kind of status. You know, when i was ten in, like, the mid � 90s in a small town in connecticut, i was the only one in my town that even skateboarded. If you saw someone with certain shoes on, you knew for a fact that was a skateboarder. You know, it was exciting to see another one because it felt, like, rare. I think its kind of fitting. I get one shot. Its going to be the first time for skateboarding, and ive seen it change so much and it doesnt get much bigger than this, you know . I make sculptures and i have a studio space. I made, like, a large scale skateable Sculpture In Malmo in sweden. Its in a public square and its open to the skaters for them to use, but it can be shared by, you know, all different user groups. Skateboardings always going to be a part of my life in one way or another. Even when youre old, it makes you feel young. Its just so nostalgic. Its, like, this is the same thing ive been doing since i was ten years old. I cant imagine my life without it because its just so woven in there. For women in skateboarding, i think its been, like, a really positive thing. I think its given us way more, like, visibility. Theres going to be a World Stage and theres going be men and women on it with skateboards. Suddenly, everyone started to care more. We cant be ignored now. Competition its, like, when i win, ifeel great, and when i lose, i dont, you know . And then i say, like, why am i doing this to myself . But, you know, i do it all over again because there must be some part of me that really wants that. Good luck to her. When the Supermodel Halima Aden announced she was quitting modelling in november last year because it was incompatible with her muslim faith her exit sent shockwaves through the fashion industry. Now, halima, who became a trailblazer for wearing her hijab on the catwalk and in photoshoots, has told the bbc in a new documentary that towards the end of her Modelling Career she felt she had lost control of her identity. Heres what she had to say. You know, its not that i was made to do things that i didnt want, but i think like many models, you start off very young, i was 19 when i started modelling and i remember bringing a suitcase to sets of full of hijabs and fabrics and leggings and sweaters and turtlenecks and all these things that i would bring and work with the stylist on set to achieve the shoot. And then the last two years of my career, i kind of trusted the stylist on set to style me. And thats when i saw that my image was changing, my Hijab Style was changing, it kept getting smaller and smaller. And in a way, i had almost lost my true identity as a hijab wearing muslim woman because the styles that they were dressing me in didnt really make it a hijab. It was hats and accessories and jeans and versace this and that. In place of a traditional hijab, is my point. I, along with a lot of people when covid 19 happened, i had a chance to stay off and reflect and like many people, i decided that i wanted to make career changes. Ijust want i just want to bring you ijust want to bring you the Breaking News again from tokyo, a significant moment in the history of the tokyo Olympic Games. The first Gold Medal has been one. It has gone to china. The event was the womens ten metre rifle, so Chinas Yang Qian wins the first gold, in the ten metre womens air rifle. You can catch me on Social Media. Im lvaughanjones. Iam i am Lewis Vaughanjones and this is bbc news. Goodbye. Hello. After another fairly warm and mostly dry day on friday, things are now changing with the weather. Weve got some heavy showers and some thunderstorms moving their way in from the South West and through the course of the weekend, its going to turn cooler and fresher with some downpours for some places, particularly towards the south. Thats down to the fact that this area of low pressure is pushing its way in, and thats going to generate some really heavy downpours at times, some showers, some thunderstorms as well. And if you do catch some of those thunderstorms, they could bring some disruption to travel particularly across parts of southern England And South wales, there is a risk of some localised flooding. So as we head through Saturday Morning then, initially the heaviest of the downpours will be close to the south Coast And Theyll slowly work their way northwards across the southern half of england and wales as we head through the day. Some of them bringing some thunderstorms, some hail and some gusty winds mixed in with some of those heavy showers. Further north across the uk, most places staying dry with some warm sunshine. Temperatures around 26, possibly 27 degrees in the warmest spots towards the north west. Weve got more cloud just lurking around those eastern coasts of Scotland And North East England as well. Into saturday evening, we keep that threat of heavy showers and thunderstorms going on across some southern and south Eastern Parts of england. They should ease a little bit overnight. Many places starting Sunday Morning on a dry note and temperatures a little bit fresher overnight than theyve been recently, between about 12 to perhaps 16 degrees or so. Now, through the second half of the weekend, then, low pressure still not far away. Its just starting to drift its way a little bit further eastwards, so thats going to bring another day of fairly heavy showers and thunderstorms. But i think the focus of most of them during sunday will be across southern and south Eastern Parts of england, perhaps one or two into south wales, too. But for the rest of the uk, once again, some dry and some warm weather with fairly light winds and long spells of sunshine. Temperatures down a notch on recent days, so by the time we get to sunday, highs typically about 20 24 degrees for most of us. Again, watch out for localised flooding with those torrential hit and miss heavy showers. Into monday, and another day of a few showers around across southern parts of england and wales and if you do catch one, it could be heavy and thundery as well. But i think much of the uk seeing again some spells of sunshine and largely dry conditions with temperatures about 20 24 degrees on monday. Into the working week, it does remain pretty unsettled. More showers in the outlook, as you can see, but turning a little Bit Drierfurther south across the uk. Bye bye. This is bbc news.
