Olympics organisers announce the first case of coronaVirus in the athletes� village, six days before the tokyo games begin. And why the worlds new Space Race is all about getting technology rather than People up into orbit around the earth. Hello and welcome to Bbc News. Rescue crews have been racing to find survivors after the floods that wreaked havoc in germany and its western neighbours switzerland, luxembourg and the netherlands. 153 People are so far known to have died across europe, 133 of them in germany alone. Hundreds remain unaccounted for, and thousands are now homeless. Thousands of residents of wassenberg, an Area West of the german city of cologne, have left their homes after a dam was breached by floodwater overnight. German officials say the country s Flood Warning System functioned as it was supposed to, but the amount of rain and how rapidly it fell was unforeseen. My My Colleaguejoins Us my colleague jOins Us now. This is my colleague Oins Us now. This is one of my colleague Oins Us now. This is of those my colleague jOins Us now. This is one of those places my colleague jOins Us now. This is one of those places that my colleague jOins Us now. This is one of those places that has my colleague jOins Us now. This is one of those places that has beeni one of those places that has been targeted which has had such a crisis through this whole tragedy. Not only land collapse, buildings collapses, but also this dual carriageway was completely flooded when we got here very early in the morning and slowly, as the waters have been receding, the Salvage Operation is taking place. With over 130 People killed in this flooding, the country is morning and it is in deep shock. The papers are calling this the flood of death. The Rescue Operation is intense. Over 20,000 rescuers have been mobilised across the country. The armyjoining with the Police Force and a whole cast of volunteers who were trying to help those People who have lost everything. When it comes to erftstadt, so many People have experienced that. The Countrys President was here earlier on to pay his condolences to show his support. Translation this is a time of distress and our country stands together during this time. Im very pleased to see just how much Sympathy And Solidarity is being shown, not only here in the region but also throughout germany. Soa so a lot of solidarity but also a lot of shock given just how much the damage was. In the space of less than two days, two months� worth of rain fell here. You can see behind me the level of destruction. In this particular area it has been incredibly intense. The strength of the water has toppled cards as if they were simply toys, so a lot of Concern And Worry but People are slowly going back to their collapsed houses to see the level of destruction and the level of damage that has taken place in this particular part. Of course there are other states like the south was badly affected and a lot of volunteers trying to help. It� s not just in western germany, neighbouring netherlands and also belgium has had a lot of damage. One town in particularfrom where my colleague now reports. This is the river meuse, and if you look carefully here you can see some of the debris that is being carried downstream. And the smell of oil, the stench, something that you can smell around here. This is the belgian city of liege, and Rescue Workers were sent from italy, france and austria to help with the Recovery Effort here and the evacuations, too. Most People are now returning to their homes, but the belgian Prime Minister has declared the 20th Ofjuly a national day of mourning. At least 20 People have been killed here alone. They say they have never experienced catastrophic floods of this scale before. Now, across the border, not far from here, in the netherlands, the Emergency Services are still trying to reconnect the power supplies. But there, so much of the country lies ten metres below sea level, they have so much Experience And Talent in managing the rising tides, and what the last few days has demonstrated, this extreme rainfall that even the most sophisticated technology will struggle under this kind of pressure. Experts have said it should be a wake up call, politicians across the continent have blamed Climate Change, but what so many People in this region, here in liege, in limburg, which has been classified as a disaster area, and beyond, what they want to know now they want assurances from those politicians that something like this can never happen again. So the sense of shock that Anna Holligan was describing in liege is palpable across this part of western germany as well. This amount of rainfall that took place over two months� worth of rain that happened in just 2a hours, months� worth of rain that happened injust 2a hours, a lot of it during the night that caught People off guard. The local weather authorities are saying they did issue warnings and it was up to local authorities to provide further details as to what to do. But the debate now as this Rescue Operation is in its throws at the moment, the conversation is now about what was happening with the weather system, and i know my colleague chris has been monitoring this for us, sojust explain where we are with this weather system.

Mrjavid said he was fully vaccinated, with two doses, and was experiencing only mild covid symptoms. He broke the news in a video posted on twitter. Hi, everyone. Ijust wanted to update you all that i have tested positive for covid. I was feeling a bit groggy last night so i took a lateral Flow Test this morning and it came out positive. So i am now self isolating at home with my family until i get the result of a Pcr Test. I am grateful that i have had two jabs of the vaccine and so far my symptoms are very mild. I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in our national Vaccine Roll out programme, truly the best of its kind anywhere in the world. If you haven� t had yourjabs yet, please get out there and get them as soon as you can. And if, like me, you might feel a bit groggy or you feel you might have come into contact with someone who is positive, please also take a lateral Flow Test. If everyone plays their part, you� re not only protecting yourself and your loved ones, but you� re also safeguarding the nhs and helping to preserve our way life. Thank you. Earlier on i spoke to our political Correspondentjessica Parker who explained the current situation. Now the prospect of the Health Secretary possibly having to be in Self Isolation on the day that legal restrictions are lifted in england and now he� s waiting for his pcr, the more reliable type of test to come back. So we� ll wait for news in terms of what that brings. At the moment, we know he� s positive on a lateral Flow Test, one of those rapid tests. But pending that result, of course, there will be questions as well, notjust for where Sajid Javid might be doing on monday, but where he� s been in the last few days, where he� s been in the last week. We know, for example, on tuesday he was on a visit to a Care Home, questions as well as to whether he� s recently met the Prime Minister. I haven� t been able to draw Downing Street on that. But if the Pcr Test was to come back a positive result, you might imagine there will be some sort of Test Process for the Health Secretary, including his contacts, which are, of course, likely to include some pretty senior members of government. Some Breaking News to bring you from the world of cycling. In the past few minutes, Team Emirates Rider Of Slovenia has effectively wrapped up the 2021 Tour De France title. He won the Time Trial in 35 minutes and 53 seconds, a full 21 seconds ahead of his closest rival. He now leads by five minutes and 20 seconds ahead of sunday� s parading to paris, putting him on course to win the title for the second year running. Let� s turn to afghanistan now. High level talks between afghan political leaders and the taliban have begun. Afghan government sources have told the bbc that Peace Negotiations are off to good start but have warned that the window for negotiations is closing fast, as taliban militants continue their unexpectedly rapid advance across the country. The talks are under way in doha. Our chief international Correspondent Lyse Doucet is in doha. She� s been speaking to the key players on both sides about the significance of these negotiations. Afghanistan, even in The Best Of Times but no one can remember The Best Of Times is one of the poorest countries in the world, notwithstanding the fact that there� s been 20 years of major international engagement, and now it is reeling from a humanitarian crisis growing hunger, growing displacement from the violence, and growing fear amongst so many afghans about what the future holds. We saw so many of this new, young, educated generation, which came of age after the fall of the taliban in 2001, wondering now whether there is space for them in the kind of afghanistan which emerges. What has happened on the battlefield has emboldened the taliban and they� ve been clarifying their ideas about afghanistan� s political future, and it is one in which they dominate and it� s a very different kind of political order than the one now in the islamic republic of afghanistan. So there� s a sense of urgency here, and if these talks make progress this weekend, hope they can have another round in the coming weeks before that window to actually negotiate an end to the war, rather than fight to The End is not lost. Lyse Doucet Indo half. In doha. More than 150 People have now died in severe floods across Western Europe with hundreds of People remaining unaccounted for. The german president has been visiting one of the stricken areas. The Uk Health secretary Sajid Javid says he has tested positive for coronaVirus and is experiencing mild symptoms. The organisers of the Tokyo Olympics are seeking to reassure athletes and the People of japan that the games will be covid secure after the first case of the Virus in the Olympic Village was confirmed earlier today. The officials have refused to reveal the nationality of the infected person, but said it was a Games Organiser from abroad. Meanwhile, athletes continue to arrive in tokyo, which is under a State Of Emergency for the duration of the event. Let� s have a listen to what one of the games� organisers had to say on that positive coronaVirus case. There was one person in the village. This was the very first case in the village that was reported during the screening test. Yesterday he or she underwent this Pcr Test, and right now this person is confined in a hotel. When we have positive cases, to what extent we disclosed information was another question. Are we going to disclose the name of the country or not . We have been discussing with the ioc and the ioc says if we disclose the name of the country, with high probability, you should be able to identify who this person is. Travel firms have criticised the Uk Government� s decision to keep Quarantine Rules in place for travellers returning to england and wales from france even if they are fully vaccinated. For all other Amber List countries, the rules relax on monday, with adults who have been Double Jabbed in the uk no longer needing to isolate for ten days on arrival. Our Business Correspondent Vishala Sri Pathma has more. The eiffel tower, an iconic symbol of paris, known for its architectural ingenuity, reopened to tourists this week, but despite it being only hours away, for many brits it might prove to be a destination too far given these latest changes to Quarantine Rules for arrivals from france. It has their own plans for these travellers into disarray. Very confusing, i am trying my hardest to follow the rules but i don� t understand so i don� t know, at this point i� m going on my holiday and whatever happens happens. It actually feels more like political than anything else, it is very confusing, i think everything is really badly handled. Their disappointment was echoed by the Travel Industry, who had hoped that allowing quarantine free travel to fully vaccinated arrivals from Amber List countries like france would give People more confidence when booking trips. That confidence now for many has been shattered. Everything we do is about mitigated risk when we are taking travellers to different destinations. However, the Road Map has been in place, the restrictions are easing as of monday, we are seeing the rest of the globe, us and europe are travelling freely, we have a very successful deployment of the vaccine and we still cannot unlock International Travel to countries with a lower case of Virus than we have. The government is insistent that the decision was made in the interests of Public Health with there being a widespread of the Beta Variant in france. France is a popular destination for brits. Its proximity, better weather and golden beaches are all part of its allure, making it the second most visited Country Pre Pandemic from People in the uk. In fact 500,000 brits were due to travel through the country this weekend, but for many these changes will mean a trip across the channel remains uncertain. Vishala Sri Pathma, Bbc News. Cuba� s president has dismissed the demonstrations against the communist government is a lie. Thousands took to the streets of havana and other cities last weekend demanding freedom and more covid vaccinations. But he denounced the spreading of what he called false images on social media. He had earlier accused the us of provoking the protests. Thousands of People have been protesting in france against new rules, which will oblige Health Workers to be vaccinated against coronaVirus. The restrictions also mean that People will need to show either a Vaccine Health Pass or a negative Covid Test to enter public places including restaurants. Since they were announced on monday, a Record Number of People have booked appointments to be vaccinated. The annual Haj Pilgrimmage is getting under way in mecca with a reduced number of participants. For a second consecutive year, only 60,000 People will be taking part because of covid restrictions. In normal years, around two and a half million muslims from across the world would visit the holiest sites of islam in mecca and medina a pilgrimmage which all muslims are expected to make at least once in their lifetimes. The us military wants to build a large new Radar Site in britain to track targets in Deep Space. It comes amid growing concerns about an Arms Race in space. The us and britain have accused China And Russia of developing weapons to shoot down satellites. The us Space Force is developing a global Radar System to identify potential threats up to 36,000 kilometres in space. As well as the uk, other sites will include texas and australia. Our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale reports. The race in space is already under way. Not just for commercial ventures like virgin galactic, with its recent maiden voyage, but for nations also. Three, two, we have ignition. Last year, the us military launched another ten satellites into space. America also now has its own Space Force, not least to protect the systems we now all use such as gps location. There are threats in space. I� d say the two countries that are most threatening are China And Russia. There have been anti satellite missiles that have been developed. America already has early Warning Systems to detect ballistic missiles including the Fylindales Radar in north yorkshire. Now the us wants to build a new Radar System for Deep Space. And one of the new sites could be in the uk. What could end up in the uk is an array of parabolic antennas, and it could be anywhere from ten to 15 for tracking, and potentially four to six for transmitting. So it would cover a large area, would it . It would cover a large area for it to receive probably an area of one kilometre in diameter. The Deep Space advanced radar capability, which will be able to detect and object the size of a football up to 36,000 kilometres away, is being developed here in california. One of the sites visited by the british Defence Secretary this week, who wants to strengthen cooperation on space not least to protect critical national infrastructure. Space is a growing domain for both commerce, but also to protect all the key national infrastructure that we need to in todays world. It is under threat. In some areas, our adversaries are weaponising space, so we have to make sure at the very least were providing resilience. The locations of the Deep Space radar capability, or darc for short, have still to be agreed, but one of the sites being considered by the us Space Force is in the south of England Or Scotland as well as in texas and australia. It may prove controversial, but the government� s made clear it wants britain to be in the vanguard of efforts to keep space safe. Jonathan beale, Bbc News, los angeles.

A little bit fresher further north and also in the countryside, a more comfortable night� s sleep here. Now, tomorrow, there� s some respite from the hot weather across the North West as these North Westerly winds drag in some slightly cloudy weather, some slightly cooler on the way as well. So temperatures generally in the low 20s, still warm in Anyjuly Sunshine that comes through, but the heat really that bit further southwards, where high 20s, Low 30s on the cards, 31 celsius there in london. It is going to be the hottest day of the year for the uk as a whole tomorrow. And what follows is a very warm night, of course. 24 degrees this time Sunday Night at 11pm in london. Now, looking at the Weather Picture deeper into next week, High Pressure is still on the scene but we do have a low that is trying to move in off the atlantic in the not going to be moving in anytime soon, though.

As england prepares to lift remaining coronaVirus restrictions, there are calls for mental Health Support to continue for People suffering from anxiety. The mental Health Charity Mind says the Mental Health consequences of coronaVirus require an immediate and long Term Commitment from government. Colleen harris reports. There is just this sense of, like, overwhelming anxiety of being around large groups of People. Not everyone is looking forward to restrictions easing. Lauren developed Anxiety And Depression in her teens. Just the thought of socialising can be a challenge. I would struggle a lot previously with not, i couldn� t leave the door, and the Build Up to it was just awful, and i� d sit here and kind of Pick Holes in myself, and it just all spirals. This is a song that ive been working on. Its called merry go round. Like lauren, Angelica Jane also has Anxiety And Depression, but found lockdown helpful and life less overwhelming. Stepping out of that is causing her worries. It would be nice to be able to actually go out with friends and do nice things, but on the other hand, there is kind of this fear, like i dont really know how its going to be going back, if im starting school again, because i havent been experiencing that in a while. The government has pledged £500 million towards a mental Health Recovery Plan in england, but charities warn it� s not enough to meet a long Term Need for support. The Mental Health consequences of coronaVirus are here in the here and now. Many People really struggling. But we also know there is a longer Term Issue affecting People with existing Mental Health problems, which we will see for many, many months and years to come. Solutions like this alongside clinical treatments can help. For Angelica Jane, it� s music, and for lauren, it� s art. I just find it almost a source of mindfulness. My brain is constant all the time, and when i� m doing art, it Kind Ofjust stops.

But first, as we edge closer to The End of this school year, children have coped with an academic year like none other due to the pandemic. Fiona lamdin has more. Finally, they� re Off On Camp after postponing it twice. For these ten year olds, it� s a rite of passage. Yeah . Which many other schools have been forced to cancel. On the Saturday Morning before they were supposed to go on the monday, we got told that there was somebody who had tested positive for covid and so the camp was cancelled. And they were all absolutely gutted. Im most looking forward to spending time with my friends and then the really fun outdoor activities. Just a few weeks ago, these classrooms at Kings Oak Academy near bristol were empty up to 400 students were sent home to self isolate. And for students in year 10, taking their mock gcses, it� s stressful. They� ve currently got 40 pupils out. Its been, like, quite hectic and, like, makes People i feel, like, anxious. Anyone could end up being positive and, like, you dont know whether youre going to have to go home. | when, like, all the friends in the Friendship Group except you are out, it� s trying to find someone else to hang around with so that you� re not, like, completely alone at, like, Break And Lunch times. Were trying to work out can we get to the summer with any more cases . Catherine and her staff have been navigating a year of remote learning, mask wearing, and Self Isolation. Every day, were checking to see if another case has come in and then we have to respond very quickly to that, isolating students. We had a challenging situation last week, where year 9 needed to be closed but it then meant we needed to get our free School Meal children their meals for lunch. And i was in what was actually quite an insightful and fortunate position where i could drive to all of our disadvantaged families houses to drop off their lunches. And that gave us a real insight into some of the Community Needs and challenges. And over in the science lab, they are itching to turn the gas back on. With science this year, its been a really, really big struggle, particularly when youre looking at doing practical work. Having to Quarantine Everything and kids not being able to get their hands on actually getting a practical done, so i think everyones excited when you first arrive into a science lab, particularly year seven, to get your hands on a bunsen burner. I and for kids not to have i that opportunity this year has been really hard. But in september, next term, things should look very different . I cant wait, its going to be absolutely brilliant just to have kids actually being able to really, like, partake fully in science. Whistle. Well, covid has cancelled sports day, year groups can� T Mix and parents can� t come into watch. So these Year 7s are taking part in the festival of sport. It� s been a lot of non stop training throughout the year. We� ve had to adapt to things that have come up. Things have changed both inside and outside of school. But we� ve had to do our best to overcome it and make the year as enjoying and fulfilling as possible for our students. And although the holidays are just days away, these School Gates will stay open. They� ve been selected to hold Summer Camps for students who have fallen behind. It� s been an academic year like no other. But with Contact Isolation and School Bubbles ending next week, everyone� s hoping that come September Things will be very different.

More than 35 Million People in england will get a free Flu Jab this winter. Over 50s and all children up to 16 will be included. The expanded programme will be delivered alongside Booster Jabs for covid 19. Here� s our Health And Science correspondent james gallagher. Flu all but disappeared last winter. The restrictions, social Distancing And Mask wearing that slowed down the spread of coronaVirus also prevented the usual round of winter bugs. But now we� re getting closer to normal, the fear is we could have a bigger than usual flu season. That could combine with covid and other infections to put the nhs under intense pressure, so england is launching its biggest ever Flu Vaccination Programme. More than 35 Million People will be offered the vaccine for free. So who can get it . Doctors, nurses, Care Home Staff And Otherfront Line And Care workers, anyone over the age of 50, pregnant women, People at higher risk from flu, including those with asthma, and there will be a significant expansion of the number of children offered the vaccine. Children get a nasal spray instead of an injection. Two and three year olds as well as all Primary School children will be offered the vaccine as usual. Last year only Secondary School Pupils up to the age of 12 were included, but this will increase to all those 16 and under. It� s desperately important that we all get vaccinated if we� re invited this year, because last year cases were very low. They were partly low because People weren� t going out and about and they weren� T Mixing, but they were also partly low because so many People were vaccinated. Over 80 of over 65s took up the invitation to get vaccinated. This year we� ve got more People than ever being invited, and that is going to be one of the best ways of preventing the hospitals from being unable to cope. Meanwhile, there could also be more covid jabs this winter. The nhs is drawing up plans to give a third dose to more than 30 Million People if they are needed. It� s hard to forget the moment denmark� s Christian Eriksen suffered a Cardiac Arrest at the euros earlier this month and that incident has put the role of defibrillators back into focus. Two years ago, former tottenham Hotspurs Player Justin edinburgh died after suffering a Cardiac Arrest while working out at the gym. His son now wants to make It Law for Sports Facilities to have public access to the life saving equipment. Luxmy gopal reports. Schoolchildren learning the most valuable lesson of all how to save a life. One, two, three, four. Charlie edinburgh has dedicated his life to this cause. Edinburgh gets through. It is after his father, justin edinburgh, former Tottenham Hotspur Player and Leyton Orient manager, died of a Cardiac Arrest aged 49 at the gym. He was the cool dad. Everyone wanted my dad to be their dad, and i� m not ashamed to say that. I might say i am big headed saying that, but he honestly was. He was just a man who gave so much to People. I� ve lost my best friend, i� ve lost the person i look up to, and you live with it every day. The grief doesn� t go away. The Gym Wherejustin suffered a Cardiac Arrest did not have a defibrillator. If my dad, when he had his Cardiac Arrest, was in a facility where it was by law required, he might still be around, and that will play on my mind forever. Charlie set up a foundation to change the law to make it compulsory for health and Sports Facilities to have a defibrillator on site. The aim is also to improve access to first aid training. Today ive learnt how to do cpr accurately, and how to do that Chest Presses and how to use defibrillators. Were sending defibrillators to gyms and Sports Companies and schools, i and if we see anyone in danger, we can do cpr to them. Everyone should know about it so that they can help People in need as well, just likejustin edinburgh. He needed help but he didn� t get it in time. Japhet tanganga is a spurs defender, likejustin was. He is lending his support to the campaign, including playing in a friendly against orient to fundraise for the foundation. It is asking me to deliver a shock to analyse the heart. The role of defibrillators was thrown into sharp focus after his Team Mate Christian Eriksen suffered a Cardiac Arrest when he collapsed on the pitch earlier this month. With what went on at the euros, it� s shocked the world. I� ve seen christian smile and trained with him a few times, and to see him in that position was quite upsetting. I think it� s a good cause. I think every ticket we sell, the money will be donated to thejustin edinburgh foundation. Access to a defibrillator will save many, many lives, because every minute that is lost before a defibrillator arrives gives a 10 reduction in survival. Survival in this country is poor. We could do much better. From the tragic circumstances of his father� s death, charlie hopes, will come a positive impact to help save the lives of others. Time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. Hello again. For many of us, this is the hottest weather we� ve seen so far this year. Yesterday, we had the highest temperature recorded in wales and scotland. Temperatures actually this afternoon are very similar in wales so that mark could be beaten. And in killowen in Northern Ireland, it� s two degrees warmer than it was yesterday 29. 6, the new high for the year. Those temperatures, though, could be updated later on as more data becomes available today. And today we have got blue skies, the sunshine out in full force across the majority of the uk. It is just in the North West of scotland where we have seen some thicker cloud. Cloud like this, so it has still been bright enough with a bit of sunshine around, but has been noticeably a little Bit Cooler and fresher into North West scotland. Overnight tonight, for most of us, it is a dry night with long, clear spells, but the most notable point about tonight� s weather is just how warm it is going to be. These are not the minimum temperatures, but the temperatures you might encounter going to bed at 11pm tonight. 23s there for london and cardiff. A little bit fresher further north and also in the countryside, a more comfortable night� s sleep here. Now, tomorrow there� s some respite from the hot weather across the North West as these North Westerly winds drag in some slightly cloudy weather, some slightly cooler on the way as well. So temperatures generally in the low 20s, still warm in Anyjuly Sunshine that comes through, but the heat really that bit further southwards, where high 20s, Low 30s on the cards, 31 celsius there in london. It is going to be the hottest day of the year for the uk as a whole tomorrow. And what follows is a very warm night of course. 24 degrees this time Sunday Night at 11pm in london. Now, looking at the Weather Picture deeper into next week, High Pressure is still on the scene but we do have a low that is trying to move in off the atlantic in the not going to be moving in anytime soon, though. So for monday, it is under the largely dry day with sunshine for most of the uk, again, the North West staying a little Bit Cooler, fresher and cloudier. Temperatures in the sunshine widely low to mid 20 across Northern Areas of the uk. In the south, it is still very ho, with temperatures high 20s, perhaps even Low 30s in the very hottest and, really, through the rest of the week ahead, the weather set fair. It will generally stay warm or very warm with just one or two storms around from time to time. That� s your weather.
