And that is just the beginning another twenty medals are up for grabs. Lets go live now to tokyo and Sarah Mulkerrins has the latest. Sarah, fill us in on the mens triathlon. It has certainly been an entertaining morning here in tokyo because the triathlon took place just below us here in Tokyo Bay to my left Hand Side and that is where the swim started. They had a false start. Plenty of drama. Half of the triathletes move in but there was another half being blocked by a boat so they could not start. They had to bring those swimmers back. They all got back up and then restarted and then they went through the race. A 1500 metres swim and then a Transition Area where they hop on their bites and go out on the streets around tokyo for a0 kilometres, they come back in, dump the bikes and have a ten kilometre run. That was 630 in the morning because, we know, heat is a big issue here but those three athletes out in front, Kristian Blummenfelt is the one who won. Three broke away On The Run and then Kristian Blummenfelt put on the sprint to finish ahead. He is a former Track Runner so that strength really paid off. He struggled when he crossed the line and collapsed and had to be taken away in a wheelchair but is ok because he has received his medal and is joyous about it. Alex yee from britain finished second, and upcoming Starand Britain finished second, and upcoming star and then Hayden Wilde for New Zealand finished with the bronze medal. When he was getting his medal a short time ago he had tears on the podium so you could see what it meant to him. Another note, because it was out on the streets of tokyo, locals were able to come out on the street and see it but there were people walking around with signs asking their to be no spectators. The open air events where you could possibly get a look, even though being discouraged to two, and they are coming out to see that. And thatis are coming out to see that. And that is because of the coronavirus pandemic. But that look on the face of Kristian Blummenfelt, what a victory for him. You can really feel that emotion.

The economy is continuing to suffer despite the measures taken by officials and covid 19 cases have been rising tightly in sharply in recent days. The speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi, whos a democrat, has appointed a republican critic of the former president Donald Trump to a special committee investigating the Capitol Riot last january. Adam kitzinger, who voted to impeach mrtrump, has accepted the appointment, despite his Partys Leadership boycotting the inquiry. Five people, including a police officer, died when hundreds of mr trumps supporters broke into the capitol building. Ido i do believe that the work of this committee, in order to retain the confidence of the american people, must act in a way that has no partisanship, and is all about patriotism and i am very proud of the members of the committee and i am certain that they will accomplish that goal.

American general has said the united states will continue to carry out their airstrikes in support of afghan government troops were fighting a growing taliban insurgency. The taliban have made rapid and widespread territorial gains since the american led mission began to withdraw last Month Fears are growing the next wave of attacks could target the countrys biggest cities. Our Correspondent Secunder kermani sent this report from kabul. General mackenzies visit to afghanistan comes amidst heightened concern over the countrys future. With the taliban closing in on a number of afghan cities after having already captured vast swathes of rural territory, the us has launched a number of Air Strikes in recent days in support of embattled afghan forces, notably around the southern city of kandahar where heavy fighting has been taking place. And General Mackenzie said america was prepared to continue with those Air Strikes in the coming weeks though he refused to categorically answer repeated questions about whether or not they would continue after The End of august, when the us Military Presence in afghanistan formally ends. In the past, hes previously suggested they will not. General mackenzie did however praise the capabilities of the afghan Air Force and said that a Taliban Military Victory was certainly not guaranteed. Id like to be very clear the government of afghanistan faces a Stern Test in the days ahead. The taliban are attempting to create a sense of inevitability about their campaign. They are wrong. There is no preordained conclusion to this fight. Taliban victory is not inevitable. General mackenzie said hed held meetings with the afghan president here in kabul, and he believed his team had a good plan to concentrate their forces against the taliban and defend key areas against the militants. But theres a real concern here that the violence will continue escalating, and that it will increasingly focus on the countrys cities.

Later Today President Duterte is due to deliver the last state of the Nation Address of his term of office, after leading one of the most controversial administrations in the history of the philippines. His stunning Election Victory five years ago, following a campaign in which he mixed crudejokes, populist promises and chilling threats, exposed a yearning in millions of filipinos for something different. Our south East Asia correspondentjonathan head looks back at five eventful years under the man they used to call � the punisher�. He was an entirely new kind of leader, and millions of filipinos loved him for it. Unscripted, informal, his speeches peppered with vulgar jokes and threats of violence. Do not destroy my city, i will kill you. Try to analyse that what is wrong when i say i will kill you because you are destroying my country . Rodrigo duterte promised to be a tough Law And Order president , and he meant it. Within weeks of taking office, the killing of alleged drug users and dealers began thousands of them shot by the police or by unnamed vigilantes. The War On Drugs is really bloody and messy, and we all know that. It shocked the rest of The World, but five years on, president dutertes popularity at home has held up not despite, but because of his brutal drug campaign. For the rich who are supporting duterte, thats very powerful because, you know, the rich are wary of crimes. They want security. For the poor that is in neighbourhoods, Drug Addicts are stigmatized. That can probably explain why duterte has so much support right now. Mr duterte had other surprises up his sleeve. He questioned the value of the long standing Military Alliance with the united states, repeatedly threatening to terminate the us Troop Presence in the philippines. He expressed his admiration for china, saying it was a better friend to his country complicating a territorial dispute where chinese forces have occupied a number of islands claimed by the philippines. His idea of a new approach to the muslim insurgencey in the south of a new federal system faded after the catastrophic battle four years ago with islamic militants for this city, which left most of it in ruins. There has been some progress in improving the philippines ramshackle infrastructure and the living standards of the poor, but well short of his election promises. Yet, unlike his predecessors, Mr Dutertes public image seems U Naffected by a ny disappointments filipinos may feel about his achievements. He does not speak in a technocratic manner, he speaks like a regular guy such that if i were an ordinary person listening to him, i would feel that this person, this president , you know, relates to me so well, relates to my struggle. His dominance of filipino politics has allowed Mr Duterte to go after his critics. A senator investigating his role in Death Squads has spent four years in jail on what many say are false allegations. Critical Media Groups have been shut down or found themselves facing multiple criminal charges. Some believe the countrys fragile democracy has been irreparably damaged under his rule. Yet if he could get around the constitutional ban on a second term, this abrasive and divisive figure would have every chance of being reelected. Jonathan head Bbc News, bangkok. Lets take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk. Britains Health Minister Sajid javid has apologised for saying that people should not cower from covid 19. Mrjavid, whos recently recovered from coronavirus was accused of being insensitive and causing hurt.

Full competition at the olympics is only two days old but already we are seeing the effects the Extreme Heat of a japanese summer can have on the events.

Also a skateboarding Gold Medal, the first ever in skateboarding, which was very impressive and also hashi surprising the nation, winning the first Gold Medal in the pool. But when it comes to endurance and outdoor sports and the Temperature Board behind me, its only early in the morning and its getting brutally hot. We have heard from athletes like Novak Djokovic complaining about the heat and this is an issue every year. It has been getting hotter and hotter every year because of Climate Change and that means schools and teachers have to be Extra Careful to protect the children.

The ioc is going to want to keep it sponsors and broadcasters as happy as can be. And that means some events like Marathon And Race walking have been moved to sapporo where it is cooler while others are taking place in the early morning or in the evening. But increasingly its notjust a battle for metals, it is also a battle for metals, it is also a battle against the heat. Extreme heat there but also worrying news of a typhoon headed your way.

You can check the website as well about the concerns around the olympics, things like coronavirus cases surging as well as those extreme weather events. Thank you for joining me today. Thats it for now. Good morning. Once again, sunday was a day of extreme. The highest temperature was in Northern Ireland with 28 celsius, but there was lots of sunshine for scotland, as you can see by this Weather Watcher Picture. Northern ireland, northern england, and Northwest Wales were by contrast further south, theres quite a lot of cloud, and it certainly went downhill, the story, after lunchtime. This is a Weather Watcher Picture sent in from kent, where there was a severe cluster of thunderstorms that developed, and it brought some localised flooding as well. And you can see the volume of Lightning Strikes too, stretching all the way down from East Anglia over to the isle of wight. They slowly faded away and the area of low pressure is moving away as we speak. Now, that is going to continue to anchor itself up into the far northeast for the start of our monday morning. It will bring a fair amount of cloud across eastern Scotland And Northeast england, but its going to be a relatively quiet start to monday. Dry with some sunshine coming through, maybe a few isolated showers lingering for a time, but generally a better day. There will be a few showers developing through the afternoon, some of these possibly heavy and thundery, but they should be a little more interspersed in comparison to the weekend. Temperatures, well, with a little more sunshine, higher in england, with 26 celsius The High. But we will start to see more showers developing. From the west, moving into Northern Ireland, southwest wales, Southwest England by The End of the day. Its a Weather Front thats going to move through, and the Weather Story changes as we go through the week. With low pressure anchored to the north and those Winds Swinging in a clockwise direction, it will be driving in more moisture, more cloud, and certainly more of a breeze on those exposed west facing coasts. So tuesday is really quite a messy picture, there will be a lot of cloud around, there will be some showers, and some of those showers thundery in nature once again. Im not going to be too clever about it, almost anywhere could catch a shower on tuesday and it could be quite heavy, and the temperatures well, they are going struggle, 15 21 celsius, sojust going below where they should be now for the time of year. The low pressure doesnt move very far at all throughout the week. We still keep this feed coming in off the atlantic, a cooler source, brisk wind as well, so that means it stays rather cool and showery. Indications of something a little better, though, as we head to the weekend. Take care. It says Bbc News.
