Will probably hit 31 again today in the South East of the country so it is london that will get the hot and sunny weather. That is about as high as the temperatures are going to get so actually, overall, for us here in the British Isles, 31 degrees is pretty normal this time of the year. Necessarily four Northern Ireland but overall for the British Isles so not necessarily hotter that it is going to stay as hot through today and of course the Uv Levels are going to be very high as well the High Pressure is bringing us Clear Skies across the uk so lots of Sunshine But Notice in the north of the country today, there is a Weather Front and that means a little bit more cloud and look at the arrows here they are coming off the arrows here they are coming off the sea so that means slightly fresher and cloudier conditions getting into parts of scotland and Northern Ireland stop think about this part of the country here where yesterday it was very, very warm stop it will be quite a bit cooler.

High pressure still across the uk and in fact, the uk is in the middle of the High Pressure. It means that the winds are blowing around it and away from us so actually it falls calm so it means that averages are going to get back up that averages are going to get back up a little bit. It could mean a difference of five degrees or so. They could be a couple of showers in this heat over the next few Days are certainly monday and tuesday, the possibility of one or two showers breaking out almost anywhere across the country and you can see on tuesday, look at that on tuesday, 23 in belfast, 25 in glasgow and that is because we are in the middle of the High Pressure where the winds are light, so light winds, with guys, lots of sunshine, the temperatures go up this time of the year. Clear skies. And look at the week ahead. Sure, the temperatures wont be quite as high and we will be pleased about that, we dont like it too hot, but they could be some showers heading away at The End of the weekend, but at the moment, as it stands, the week ahead is looking sunny and very warm. ~. ~ ahead is looking sunny and very warm. ~. , ~. , ahead is looking sunny and very warm. ~. ~. ,. , warm.

Its quite sad to look at these windows where everyone, well, the residents under the Water Line here would have died and people in the entire street here. I spoke to the neighbour at this house here, she said she knew the residents and other people i spoke to said they could hear them maybe, screaming as well, as the Water Level came up. It was just how sad this, like, tragedy is. Well, lets speak now to kate martyr, the freelance journalist who recorded that footage. Good Morning-t'>Morning To you. We saw some of the devastation there in that footage you sent through to us. Can you explain how bad it is where you are right now . So, in this corner of south Western Germany it is usually a really beautiful area, germany it is usually a really beautifularea, it germany it is usually a really beautiful area, it is wine country, very intellect. But the destruction that came to these small villages in The Valley has just been unprecedented, really. I have been to two villages over the past few Days, one was kind of further up the river and one was where you saw that report, both of these villages were completely decimated by the flood and many of the residents there told me it was something they couldnt even comprehend even happening in this small, usually very sleepy place. You couldnt even access coming into the street or the Main Square is. They werejust coming into the street or the Main Square is. They were just covered coming into the street or the Main Square is. They werejust covered in debris. Some of that has been removed with heavy machinery. Cars were piled up, there was Debris Entries and residents helping the clean up effort. Andries.

People spoke that the Water Level rose a metre within minutes. So they were just absolutely unable to flee, really, and many fled to the upper floors of their home if they were able to. Yeah, just the speed of the flooding is Something Everyone is saying is very shocking and scary for them. ,. ,. ,. , for them. You touched on that there were warnings for them. You touched on that there were warnings that for them. You touched on that there were warnings that this for them.

They said, you know, we live by the river and have experienced flooding before. Perhaps at worst our basements or sellers would get flooded. Many people had these warnings and thought they would be able to save their homes. I spoke to one couple in this town and they said they managed to close the door and they could hear the Water Bobbing around outside and objects knocking on their home and then all of a sudden the Door Burst open and they had tojust of a sudden the Door Burst open and they had to just run upstairs to escape these floodwaters. And they just watched from their neighbours Upstairs Apartment as their car got washed away in the floodwaters. Residents have really very little time to respond to this as well. I time to respond to this as well. I am interested in the response of the Emergency Services, to. I know you spent time in the town where 12 people died yesterday. It was a disabled care facility, wasnt it. What help has been made available, and what were the Emergency Services able to do, if indeed they were able to access some of these areas . 50.

Sc, there has been a presence from Emergency Services there. There has been a lot of police and a Lotto Help with voluntary organisations, a lot of help, and help technicians, a technical health organisation. They had a large presence on the ground and the red Cross And Military as well. There has been a huge kind of mobilisation of these services. But at the same time, the destruction has had such a large place over such a short time that those services were really spread quite thinly. So there was a huge Community Health Effort as well. There were volunteers they spoke to yesterday in sinzig who travelled, they decided to get together about 200 kilometres away, 50 young men to just drive to sinzig to help out, and the residents were extremely helpful for that grateful for that.

The Death Tolljust aims to keep raising. Do we know the laTest . I raising. Do we know the laTest . 1 think it is still over the thousands, i am think it is still over the thousands, iam not think it is still over the thousands, i am not too sure on that. I urge some caution, because some of these people, the Internet Connection has been down and Telephone Networks are also quite inaccessible at the moment because a lot of the infrastructure has been damaged due to floodwater. So even though some of the missing numbers are quite scary and high, i would urge some caution there because it is kind of people at the moment are quite unable to reach Each Other.

Christa larwood is in Northern Ireland for the final part in the road to recovery series. Youve got to love it proper british coastline were on an adventure across the uk as it opens up for travel again. Yes, were open from Rugged Coastlines to breathtaking landscapes and natural habitats. Did you see that . 0urjourney will take us to the four nations that make up the united kingdom. And with an eye on our carbon footprint. Were in an all electric revamp of an iconic british motor. On this weeks show, christa goes behind the wheel in Northern Ireland. Where my search for a seabird pays off. Are they all birds . There must be hundreds of thousands of birds here. I take on a local delicacy. You got me, i ate one, well done and try an unusual Test drive. Laughter this is genius laughter. Away we go laughter im in South East Northern Ireland, and im trying to get a good lay of the land. Plus, after the last year and a half, this seems like a good way to get away from it all. Ken found during the first lockdown that lots more people were getting in touch to take to the skies. And Kens Microlight Business is one of thousands here to have had to cope with the ups and downs of the pandemic. Myjourney will take me over 100 miles up the coast to finish at one of this countrys iconic natural wonders Giants Causeway. And it all starts by leaving Petrol Power behind and switching to the Travel Show electric van for an early Morning-visit'>Morning Visit to Killough Bay in county down. Check that out, smooth yawns it was too early for the Hotel Breakfast this Morning. And the idea is i have breakfast at this place im going, which, isuspect to most people, would be a great delight, a real delicacy. But as for some other people, myself included, its a bit more of a daunting prospect. Chuckles well see how we go. This is one of a number of bays along the coast here that, over the years, have become renowned for a local delicacy. Brother and Sister Luc and perrine have been farming them by the thousands. Hello, there. Heya. I have found the right place. Are those Oyster Beds out there . Yeah. 0yster Beds down there. Fantastic. Do we go out on the truck . Yes. Lets do it. Do wejustjump on . Yes, jump on along the coast of Northern Ireland, inlets off the sea like Killough Bay have developed as an ideal place to farm oysters. They say each bay with its distinct conditions give Sea Oysters slightly different flavours. Luc and Perrines Family Oyster business has 700 bags of oysters out in this bay. Each grows for around three years before it is considered for market and lots of care goes into making them taste their best. Well, these are the big ones to go to markets and restaurants and such. Essentially, every three or four weeks we turn them because there is growth in them. I will show you all this white and purple, that is all new growth. Yep. So that breaks off. We turn the bags to break that off, which makes the oysters harder and makes the shells nice and round. So, you pick the bag up. Yep. And turn it on its side. Then you let it go and back up again and hit it. Other way, hit it and back over. If they are on the sea the seabed, they would just roll, the shells would keep rolling down and make them round and harder. That is the shape we want to go to. The more you do that, the better the Meat Quality and the quality of the meat. It can be endless. It is good and bad, isnt it . How has business been in recent times . The last time you came in march, everything stopped, basically. There was no local market. The exports tapered off and finished. So we found other channels but still it is only getting back to the way it was now. As far as we were concerned, we were down here and we got more work done, so we worked the oysters more than we have done before and it is much better quality now. We found with the little break we were able to fix things and work the oysters more, bag them much better and work them better and more often to get a nice, betterfinished product. The unexpected benefit of covid is nicer oysters . Yeah turns out it was, for us. Who knew . Yeah, thats thats exactly it. Are you ready . Youre gonna really enjoy it. Before the pandemic, Perrine Sold Oysters direct to customers at market stalls, to people who sometimes, like me, need a little bit of convincing. What do you say at the market when somebody says 0h. . What is your Sales Pitch . A lot of people dont like the idea of it in their minds but there is always the same reaction. They dont know but then they put it in their mouth, make a funny face, chew it and swallow it and they decide thats a good aftertaste. So, you have to chew it. I heard you have to swallow it down. You can do but it is better to chew it. Are you ready . As ready as i will ever be. I mean, it does not taste of fish, does it . It is not fishy, it is like the sea. It is more like seaweed more than anything else. I could see how you could convince people. You got me, i ate one well done you can try another one again. Well, that went better than i expected. With breakfast sorted, im off for some culture in the next part of myjourney, which takes me up the coast for a quick stop off at Northern Irelands capital city belfast. Here and in some other parts of Northern Ireland, its Notjust Covid That Tourism has had to overcome in recent years. The 30 Year Conflict known as the troubles halted a lot of travel to this city up until the good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998. A sort of Dark Tourism emerged afterwards as visitors explored places and murals associated with the conflict, but in recent years murals with other topics at their heart out become a bigger part of the urban landscape. Seedhead arts have been offering Walking Tours of these modern murals and during covid offered a digital Walking Tour for people to do individually. Ive been really lucky doing Street Art tours in cities around the world but there is something special about a Street Art tour in belfast. Its notjust the beauty, its the Culture And History of this place. The best thing is that even during a lockdown in the middle of a pandemic, you can grab the app, head out into the fresh air and safely see these works of art. Its pretty incredible but im really here for more traditional arts. The grand Opera House is the only remaining victorian theatre in Northern Ireland. Currently celebrating 125 years, it was saved from demolition in the � 70s, bombed in the � 90s, and now it has been through a year long Restoration Attempt Right in the middle of a pandemic. Its not yet reopened to the public during my visit, but im getting an early preview as it gets its finishing touches. Inside its been faithfully restored, bringing things like the ornate ceiling paintings back to their former glory. So what condition where they in when you came in . Were theyjust very dirty . Yeah you werent able to pick out the figurative details and the varnish deteriorated significantly, so they were brown and yellow in colour. How on earth did you get up and do it . Because im imagining Michelangelo Lying on the back. We have an amazing birdcage scaffolding, all on one level. Were working above our heads and moving around accordingly. You do exercises to try to watch your necks and heads, certain ballerina exercises, stretching your head. People always say to us, oh well, like michelangelo, do you work on your back for the ceiling . Michelangelo didnt do that either. Its a myth i know. One of the main difficulties for ruth was in assembling the team. Having planned to bring in expertise from across europe, the pandemic meant that ruth needed to uncover local young talent for thejob. Yes, challenging, but very worthwhile. Some of the Team Members enjoyed it so much that they want to go and study further, Go To University to study conservation. Now im leaving the modern buzz of belfast and heading north back along the coast for something more historic. There are quite a few castles in Northern Ireland, and that of course will come as no surprise to fans of game of thrones, Knowing Parts of that series were filmed here in various castles. It all seems like such a nice idea, owning a castle, but they cost an absolute fortune to run. And for glenarm castle, first built in the 17th century, the impact of the troubles on tourism meant relying on deserters for lots of income would have been a risky strategy, until recently. So during the pandemic, when tourism was at an all time low, they decided to take a leap and invest in tourism for the future. It was all about surviving long term. So we took a look how we could reinvent ourselves to come out again when this would be over. We knew the public perception would have changed and that outdoor space was going to be more valuable moving forward, and so we concentrated our efforts on creating outdoor space and activities. In addition to the gardens on the grounds that were already drawing visitors, adrian added new Glamping Pods as well as electric bikes to explore the wider area, including forest on the outskirts of the grounds. This area, which has barely changed in 400 years, has been recognised in recent years for its vast biodiversity. This is brilliant because it feels like i am really fit. Ill never cycle without this again foradrian, its a very special place. So youve been around for a while . I grew up here. My father was a chauffeur for the family here, started work in 1960. And when i was a Wee Boy of four, i was intrigued by where he was going. I would hide underneath a coat in his wee Van And Halfway to work i would pop up and say, surprise, dad, im coming to work with you today so, i completely fell in love with glenarm. This is where i wanted to spend the rest of my life. One of my aspirations was to open it up more to share it with everybody. Now that is what we are doing. Back at the castle, adrian had one more thing to show me. I dont know what this is going to be. Adrian was kind of laughing when he was talking about it, so well see. Laughter. Adrian, your cars shrunk yeah, this is my toy, every good estate should have one. And it turns out the mini Land Rover is actually part of a fleet of them that adrians brought in for kids to use on a new off road course. Oh, that is brilliant. Look at you you look like youre four years old again, back on the estate. If i had someone like that when i was four, i couldnt have contained myself so you want a Wee Go . Yes, obviously laughs. There you go. All you gotta do is press the button, hold on tight. You good to go . Ive got mine pressed. Laughs. 0k. Ah, shes off genius thanks adrian, see you later bye remember to come back now thats it, im off to see the Giants Causeway, bye you think thats far enough . I think i should stop her now. Dont trust her in the wee Land Rover. Laughs. The next part of myjourney takes me further north east, and off the mainland to rathlin island. A ferry has long been a lifeline for the 150 people who live on this island. And it became particularly vital for getting supplies to the residents over the last year. The islanders took the decision early in the pandemic to stop non essential access to the island, and only recently opened up again to tourists. So far it has helped keep the Island Covid free, and weve done two lateral Test'>Flow Tests before coming over to try and help keep it that way. One of the main draws for tourists is the chance to get close to puffins and other rarely seen birds. So im waiting for my guide liam, warden of the island. Hes lived here all his life and has promised me a glimpse of the birds. The man himself. Hello hello, you must be christa did my Big Blue Bus give it away . Im afraid so. You coming to see the puffins . That would be lovely, can i follow you . Yes, follow me up to the Seabird Centre. See you there. A Puffin Bus usually takes most visitors up to the site, but we have special permission for the Travel Show electric van. The Seabird Centre opened up here for the first time in 1. 5 years just a couple of weeks before our visit. And a Viewing Platform at the back shows the birds putting on quite a display. Are they all birds . Yeah, theyre All Over The Place like little pebbles. I cant quite get my head around how many of them there are here. Its pretty amazing, it is indeed. There must be hundreds of thousands of birds here. There 5 indeed, there are hundreds of thousands, theres about 140,000 guillemots alone. You see how the Flat Top there is just completely covered in guillemots. Theres about 7,000 8,000 guillemots in that one area. For protection they would like to be in close proximity to the others, so safety in numbers. So if you are nesting in the middle of that density over there, the chance of your egg and your chicks surviving is much greater than if youre out on a lower ledge on your own. Because they dont have to worry too much about Land Based Predators here, but theres always other birds, theres great black backed gulls and ravens and things that will come along and take eggs, so if youre in one of those places youre better protected. But now it is time to find the star of the show, the puffins. If you look out for the orange feet, they are the first thing that jumps out at you. Either on the bare soil or the green grassy bits, down the bottom there. Oh, there they are theyre quite obvious once youre looking for the feet. They nest on the ground so at the minute there will be one bird in there incubating the egg, and the other one, its partner could be out feeding at sea. And how has it been over the past year because youve had quite a unique experience here on rathlin island. Its strange, because you expect to hear a bus coming up the road with people and it is not happening, its quiet. Saturday afternoon and theres not a voice to be heard anywhere along the way. But you get used to it, it was quite nice, i think in some ways i really felt more relaxed for a year, orfor a season. Laughs. You know, because the summer can be quite busy for people doing all sorts of differentjobs and facilitating all the people who come here. And not having all that pressure meant that people were pretty laid back. It was a chill out year, i suppose. And now people are free like myself to come over on the ferry, is it nice to welcome people back to rathlin . Its brilliant theyre coming here and having the opportunity to get back to see whats On Offer on rathlin. To end my time here, im heading back to the mainland, and just a little further up the coast. Coming to The End of ourjourney soon. Not far away. Youve done a good job, Old Girl four countries, lots of adventures. Now, theres one place in Northern Ireland that ive always really wanted to go to. In fact i remember really clearly as a kid seeing a picture, and saying, whats that place . I want to go there and now im on my way. Giants causeway is a unesco world heritage site, and its been here for millennia. But even this place has been affected by covid in its own way. This is it, look at this. Incredible. Its mad to think that nature created this. Legend has it that it came about because of a fight between two giants. Its thought to be the most visited Tourist Site in Northern Ireland. Around A Million people came in 2019 but with changes to Visitor Numbers during the pandemic, The National Trust have said that this is a once in a Generation Chance to change how they manage their tourism approach, to avoid what they call the pitfalls of over tourism. Theyve begun spreading visitors out more throughout the day, to help make a more positive impact on the local area. Its natural hexagonal columns stretching out to the sea are actually formed because of the Way Lava slowly cooled when it was created. But thats not the story that captures most peoples imagination. So there was a irish giant called fionn mac cumhaill, who lived here with his wife oona and their son 0isin, and theres a Scottish Giant called benandonner who lives on the scottish island of staffa, one of the outer hebrides. And the two of them get into an argument, Hurling Insults across the sea at Each Other, and eventually fionn decides hes had enough, he needs to go to staffa to put an end to it and challenge benandonner. But its a well known fact that giants do not like getting their feet wet, so so he decided to get up early the next Morning and build a causeway across to staffa. Whichever story is true, Giants Causeway seems sure to keep the visitors coming for a long time yet. And for me, its where my journey in Northern Ireland comes to an end. Ive been really struck by the resilience of the people ive met here, and their optimism. Theyre determined to notjust get through this crisis, but to do better on the other side of it. And i think for uk travellers, the past year has been a good chance for us to take stock and appreciate what we have right here on our doorstep. It is not fishy, it is like the sea. Good Morning.

Senior Government Ministers are waiting on news of whether they will have two currency in. Health secretary Sajid Javid has Tested positive for coronavirus. He met with the Prime Minister On Friday. Nick eardley has this report. Downing street On Friday. The Health Secretary outside number 10, where he held talks with the Prime Minister. Last night, though, Sajid Javid confirmed he had coronavirus, after a second Test. I was feeling a bit groggy Last Night, so i took a lateralTest'>Flow Test, and its come out positive. So, im now self isolating at home with my family until i get the results of a Test'>Pcr Test. Im grateful i have had two jabs of the vaccine, and so far my symptoms are very mild. Hell now have to self isolate and there are questions of whether others might be told to stay at home, too, including boris johnson. It comes ahead of a crucial week in which almost all legal restrictions in england will be lifted. From tomorrow, Social Distancing will be officially scrapped. There will be no limits at events and legally you wont have to wear a face covering. Although in some places it still will be recommended. But the number of cases is increasing. There were more than 54,000 in the last 24 hour period. And some have warned about being too relaxed in the coming Days and weeks. Next week will be a significant moment in the sometimes slow road out of lockdown in england, but it wont be back to normality overnight. Face coverings will still be recommended in some places, and there will still be an emphasis on caution. And the number of positive cases we are seeing, like the Health Secretarys, is a reminder that even if many restrictions are going, the Virus Hasnt disappeared. This is wales, yesterday, people taking advantage of the weather after restrictions on gatherings outside were lifted. There are more freedoms coming for people across the uk, but that doesnt come without risk. Nick eardley, bbc news. Yes, not without risk. Good Morning. Talk to us about the impact.

We know Sajid Javid was in the commons a couple of time last week, including on wednesday. We know as well of course we had this meeting with the Prime Minister On Friday. It was Friday Evening he began to feel unwell. In terms of close contacts and self isolation, Michael Gove, a senior minister, back in june did not have to self isolate after coming in contact with a positive case. He was part of a pilot in looking at daily Testing instead. We wait for news this Morning in terms of who Sajid Javids close Contacts Iron who may be asked to self isolate, but look, overall, what we have now is the prospect on so called Freedom Day as it is sometimes called tomorrow, the Health Secretary being in confinement, being in self isolation, one of many people of course who has been pinged or asked to stay at home or has Tested positive for covid, as we continue to see a rise in cases. That is the backdrop into tomorrow. Yesterday, the Liberal Democrats called for a rethink on lifting Restrictions Tomorrow in england, being the plan was reckless. Jeremy hunt, the former Health Secretary and a conservative mp raised the prospect that if things are on the wrong trajectory by autumn, we could see really there c restrictions reimpose. They said they never want to do that but heading into tomorrow, there is not some great sense from government of liberation day, rather, wait a lotto of caution with all of this going on in the background. With all of this going on in the background with all of this going on in the backuround. ,. , ~ ,. , with all of this going on in the backuround. ,. , ~. ,. , the search continues for hundreds of missing people in Western Europe after Record Rainfall caused devastating flooding.

Behind me, you can see piles of supplies food, water, clothing, bedding, household equipment, everything you need to survive. That is because so many people have lost their homes or have been wiped out financially or have lost all of their possessions. What have seen in this region is in lots and lots of small towns and villages, in this wooded, hilly region, devastation. The waters came in seconds. Some people managed to get out. Some people did not. Hence the high number of fatalities in this region. This date was the worst hit in germany. Even if people managed to survive, in so many cases they lost their possessions. 0vernight Hundreds of people have been gathering donations from local people, they are being passed on to those in need. Today chancellor Angela Merkel will be visiting shorts, a small village a few kilometres here. Schult. Houses were swept away. Some mediaeval. That pretty village is a scene of debris.

Nick, what do the laTest changes mean for travellers . Good Morning, ben, rachel. Ibiza itself is waking good Morning, ben, rachel. Ibiza itself is waking up good Morning, ben, rachel. Hafiz itself is waking up slowly. Some people having a Morning dip. But some people are racing back to beat the new Quarantine Rules. In practical terms, what it means is they have to take their Test'>Pcr Test earlier than expected, and we have been talking to people talking to their Travel Company to get an earlierflight, others booking their own so they can be back before 4am tomorrow Morning. Most of the people i have spoken to have had one jab but because they have not had two, they face the prospect of otherwise isolating for ten Days. Also, people coming back from france, even though thatis coming back from france, even though that is on the Amber List, british and other people arriving in the uk who have been double jabbed still have two isolate, and that is because of concerns regarding spread of the Beta Variant first seen in south africa. As the ibiza, its hard for businesses, they do not know what is going to happen in coming weeks. The brits are the best customers here, but in a sense in the coming hours we will get a sense. More than 20 planes from the uk are due to touch down here.

Scotland has announced that its bringing in the same rules as england and wales for travellers returning from france. From monday, people will still be required to quarantine for ten Days while those coming back from other Amber List countries will not have to isolate, if they have been fully vaccinated. Anne chamberlaine is from england but lives in paris and hasnt seen her parents for 18 months she booked herflight hours before the Rules Changed. We can talk to her now.

We have accepted it, i think, up until this point in the pandemic we have gone through lockdowns, we have accepted Travel Restrictions and until now we were very stoic about it. You know, the new normal, not seeing family or parents or siblings. My Baby Daughter was born in paris in october last year, right before france went into its second lockdown. We accepted my grandparents would not be able to come in for the birth and they would not be able to come for christmas. We were quite weak about it, we got used to sending Each Other messages on scope and sending photos and maybe using zoom. Then, finally when the government announced the quarantine would be listed for amber countries, and because myself and my husband were both vaccinated, we thought, great, we can travel to london and see our family and be reunited again. I had booked Train Tickets and accommodation and this announcement came through a few hours later. It has just made us it feels even further. We had got our hopes up and now it is all Up In The Airagain. It our hopes up and now it is all Up In The Air again the air again. It is difficult, isnt it, because the air again.

Today in fact before the rules, as the Rules Change was up to be honest, it is another example of how quickly things can change. As ever, it pays to keep an eye on the rules and to go to gov.

As ever, i think with, as with many other Travel Firms, we have to be flexible without Travel Guaranteed, which we do. We have to work with customers to give them the that if they book that they wont lose out and we dont want them to lose out, we want them to travel with us. That is what we can do, give them the information on what we have been asking government to do is also be active and communicate to customers what is required and of course, in ordinary circumstances, the more notice the better, but we do understand that sometimes these rules are brought in at very short notice.

Can you tell us about that . Yeah, i have been a Water Safety advocate, promoting that 25 years in Education And Pe in schools. Im always promoting Water Safety because although we live in this maritime history, great britain environment, we know very little. The common man knows very little about Water Safety. As a lifeguard of duty, i had an incident where i lost three souls of the coast near cornwall, and you only need to see drowning, the catastrophic aspects of drowning and the family the effects on the family to think, i need to do more on this and familiar, promoting Water Safety is all about education and teaching our children about Water Safety. So that is why this project has come together, because everybody is now listening to what i am saying about Water Safety. I set up a charity as well to do just that, going Water Safety. I set up a charity as well to dojust that, going into schools.

That is right. One of the things we have learnt is getting the vaccination doesnt mean that you never get covid. It means that you can get covid but not going to get serious covid. Get the covid which will mean you were going to hospital they need oxygen, you need all of they need oxygen, you need all of the extra interventions that people get when they become quite ill with it. Most people who have had two jabs, if they do get covid, their symptoms should be milder and they should be able to manage it at home, which i will be, is what will happen in the years to come. It which i will be, is what will happen in the years to come. In the years to come. It looks likely anyone in the years to come. It looks likely anyone who in the years to come. It looks likely anyone who has in the years to come. It looks likely anyone who has been i in the years to come. It looks| likely anyone who has been in in the years to come. It looks likely anyone who has been in close contact with him will have to self isolate. That may well include the Prime Minister.

The of these other factors that come into play. I think we will find out, whoever gets pinged and told you are in close contact they need to self isolate. It will be interesting to see the people who have had to self isolate, whether they were wearing masks and things, will they get covid will be ok .

We were focusing on patients going into hospital but not even so much on the pressures from hospitals, surgeries all around the country that do not have enough staff, if the virus is letting rip, as some people have said it is.

Austin has the details. It all about silverstone. It is sport. Austin has the details. It all about silverstone. Sport. Austin has the details. It all about silverstone. It is a busy da of all about silverstone. It is a busy day of sport all about silverstone. It is a busy day of sport today. All about silverstone. It is a busy day of sport today. One all about silverstone. It is a busy day of sport today. One where i all about silverstone. It is a busy day of sport today. One where it| all about silverstone. It is a busy i day of sport today. One where it is a bit of a battle for people out there between spending time outside in the Sun And Racing back inside to watch this brilliant sport going on. We will start with the british Grand Prix. 140,000 we will start with the british Grand Prix. 140,000 fans that the stone today, plenty chairing this man on, Lewis Hamilton. Looking for another Grand Prix win. Desperate to keep his World Title hopes alive this afternoon. Yes, good Morning, everyone. Hes 33 points behind red Bulls Max Verstappen in the World Championship standings. Verstappens won four out of the last five races, but Today Hamilton will have the roar of a Home Crowd behind once again 140,000 of them, as Lydia Campbell reports. Away from the fans, and soon there will be a lot more of them, as silverstone welcomes the biggest crowd at a Sporting Event in the uk since the start of the pandemic. Just happy to be out and about and at a sport event, ive missed it. Yeah, feels great. Its the first time ive been here as well, so i dont know what it was like, but its nice at the moment, yeah. The uk has been building up to this. There were 15,000 people on Centre Court to watch the wimbledon finals, 60,000 at wembley to witness the final of the european championship, and now, 140,000 at silverstone. A critical part of the Events Research Programme is that everybody here is either had a negative lateral Test'>Flow Test in the 48 hours before they arrive, or they are second Vaccine Jab plus two weeks. Weve stopped at nothing to make sure this is a safe as it possibly can be. And for places like silverstone, allowing a Capacity Crowd has allowed them to think about the future. This was really a Crunch Moment for silverstone. If they couldnt get fans in, it could have been they didnt have any more money, theyd he broke, and that would be a desperate time for the track. And what about the racing . Thats what the crowds are here for after all. Max verstappen was literally on fire at the start of the new Sprint Qualifying on saturday. That must have helped him as he overtook Lewis Hamilton before the first turn, and thats how they finished. Verstappen pipping hamilton at the pole ahead of the main race today. But while Hamilton Couldnt quite deliver for his fans on saturday, they were still happy to see him. With Days-crowd'>ToDays Crowd set to take the number of spectators over the three Days to more than 300,000, many more people across the country will be hoping that scenes like these will soon be a normality again. Lydia campbell, bbc news. So, an exciting day ahead at silverstone but the action doesnt stop there in about 20 minutes time, the final round of golf� s Open Championship gets underway at Royal St georges, in kent. South african Louis Oosthuizen leads the way but there are a few big names lurking just behind, as Andy Swiss reports. A Sun Soaked sandwich and a day when being a Golf Fan was about as fun as it gets. But while they basked in the heat, others were trying to keep their cool. After starting with a two Shot Lead, Louis Oosthuizen began in his usual unflappable style. But soon he had company another former champion, jordan spieth, piling on the pressure. And so did Collin Morikawa as three of them became locked in a thrilling battle. Hopes of a Home Winner are fading. Paul casey and the pinpoint precise Andy Sullivan the best of the bunch. But they are seven shots back. While Rory Mcilroy is 11 back after a round which began promisingly before falling away. But at the top of the leaderboard, late drama. Spieth missed a tiddler at the last and oosthuizen edged clear of morikawa. Hes lead after every round so far. Could this once again be his year . And so Louis Oosthuizen takes a slender 1 Shot Lead into the final day. This Enthralling Open remains tantalisingly poised. Andy swiss, bbc news, sandwich. Elsewhere, Tadej Pogacar is set to defend his tour de France Title this afternoon, as the race concludes in paris. The slovenian finished eighth in yesterDays 20th stage to retain a substantial lead, and with the tradition that no one attacks the yellowjersey on the final day, hes set to be confirmed as champion in paris. But, the other parisian tradition is a Sprint Finish on the Champs Elysees, where Mark Cavendish could set a new record for 35 stage wins on the tour and take the sprinter� s Green Jersey. Saint helens have won rugby Leagues Challenge Cup for the first time in over a decade, after beating castleford 26 12. In front of 45,000 fans at wembley, saints came from behind to win a thrilling final in searing heat at wembley. Joe lynskey reports. 45,000 brought the noise from the north. After so long in the silence for rugby league, it means so much. This is their sports showpiece match. Castleford and St Helens are two of the oldest clubs. They know games can change with the bounce of the ball. Saints got the first score with help from the post, but castleford responded with something extraordinary. Castleford fans are leaping to the air in castleford, this sports at the heart of the town, but a fierce half in the heat would drain them in the second. St helens were here as favourites, now theyd surged through the gaps and into the lead. After 13 years without it, one of this sports giants had its oldest prize. Yeah, its been a long time coming and obviously a number of years before weve been able to get back here and win it again. So, it was one really tough game today, obviously the heat i think played a part. You could see that in the second half, for both teams, but its very special for me to call myself the captain of this team and obviously to lift this trophy. This has been rugby leagues toughest year, but a thrilling final in the noise is a win in itself. It is St Helens who go home singing. Joe lynskey, bbc news. Congratulations to them. And finally, the preparations now overfor the British And Irish Lions they thrashed the stormers 49 3 in theirfinal warm up match before the first Test against south africa next weekend. The lions did fall behind early, but quickly turned things around. Exeter� s Sam Simmonds was just one of seven try scorers. But the headlines were saved for Tour Captain Alun wynjones. He came off the bench, to complete an incredible return to action just three weeks after dislocating his shoulder. An incredible story, that. Three weeks, at the age of 35 he is back on the field. But weeks, at the age of 35 he is back on the field on the field. But while were talkin on the field. But while were talking comebacks, on the field. But while were talking comebacks, i on the field.

Do you want to pick up on that . And even the tour de France Director has basically said he is the greaTest sprinter in the history of the tour and in the history of cycling. He is absolutely astonishing, what he has achieved. Just read a little about it, he has battled through physical and mental illnesses and now to be possibly getting this record today. Absolutely. He even nearly left the sport a couple of years ago. But eddy merckxs records, any thought he was completely untouchable. He is level with them now with the amount of stage wins and if he really wins it today, it will be historic. It is a bi if, it today, it will be historic. It is a big if, though.

The Yorkshire Dales is famous for its stunning scenery, including rolling hills and far reaching moorlands, but decades of intensive Land Use has taken its toll on parts of the landscape. Thats why ingleborough, the countys second highest mountain, has become the focus of a huge restoration project. Our reporter Paul Hudson can explain. We had a photo as well wherever you look in the parts of the Yorkshire Dales, the scenery is absolutely stunning. On the beauty of The Valley to the mountains which make up the three peaks of panic and is, work side and ingleborough, there are a few areas they can match this part of the world. But extensive [and use has had an impact on the area, meaning large swathes of bare limestone and heavily grazed pasture are now commonplace. This man from the Yorkshire Wildlife trust remembers what the area used to look like.

In the last week, Weve Seen Floods devastate western Europe And Record temperatures in the us. Ros atkins is taking a look at recent heatwaves around the world and why theyre worrying scientists. This is a story of two heatwaves that have set record temperatures, started wildfires and killed people and that connect to what were doing to our planet and how were tackling climate change. Because the science is absolutely clear, this is all part of the same story. We are seeing the effects of climate change in california and other parts of the country and the world as well but its already happening. We cant keep waiting to act. Lets take this stage by stage by looking at how these heatwaves fit into a far bigger picture, and well start up close on the western side of North America. The first heatwave began in latejune. This is portland in the us. This is british columbia in canada. And temperature records were being smashed. Lytton, and canadas previous record, was 44. 4 Degrees Celsius. Now its 49. 6. Thats now canadas highest ever temperature. Move over the border to seattle in the us. It went from this to this. And, further south in portland, the old record was beaten by another big margin. And none of this is normal. This is how one canadian climatologist puts it. And Heres Weather Historian christopher burt. Nature is telling us this isnt normal too. On the pacific coast its estimated over1 billion marine creatures have been killed. This man runs an Oyster Business in canada. Basically cooked the oysters, clams, mussels, most of the mussels around here now are all gone. My clams, you can see theyre all dead. And now one heatwave has been followed by another. This image from Bbc Weather shows the 10th ofjuly in the us. The red means hotter than average. And this is Death Valley in california. Its reached 54. 4 c. If confirmed, that would equal the highest temperature ever reliably recorded anywhere. And if thats the heat, one of its consequences is wildfires, a lot of them. Back to lytton in canada, it was nearly wiped out by a fire. And this is california. Across Western Canada and the us, theres been well over 1000 wildfires since april, many in the last two months. And the link to the heat is explicit. Its actually all very related to extreme heat. So with extreme heat, that kind of triggers a drought which were also really experiencing in california, extreme drought, and with that extreme drought the wildfires are also more severe. And if thats the fires caused by the heat, next we have to step back again and look at why these two heatwaves have happened. The immediate cause is whats caused a Heat Dome. My Colleague David Shukman explains. Theres a vast dome of High Pressure above Western Canada. Its like a lid in the atmosphere, trapping warm air and pushing it down where it gets even hotter. And the heat is held in place by the path of the jetstream, so, temperatures have kept climbing. And thats the double danger. High pressure that Cant Move on. Basically no weather systems can move in so we dont get any relief with thunderstorms or showers and all we get is just pure blue skies and sunshine and this is very dangerous. So the fires happened because the temperatures happened because the heat homes happened. Lets take another step back. How do Heat Domes connect with climate range . How do Heat Domes connect with climate change . On that, this is the director of the Earth System Science centre. If we werent warming up the planet through carbon pollution, we wouldnt expect to see this more often than once in 100,000 years. What climate change has done is made this a much more probable event. Now, as you may have noticed, scientists used to be more reticent about making an explicit link between a single Weather Event and climate change. Now, though, increased Computing Power means increased confidence in the accuracy of climate modelling. Listen to how definitive Professor Peter Stott is on the current heat waves. Weve analysed the climate that you would expect without emissions of greenhouse gases and you just dont see these sorts of extraordinary temperatures that were seeing at the moment. So this climate modelling is providing clarity. Look at this from Dr Friederike Otto from the university of oxford. Shes looked at these heatwaves and concluded. So we have to link from the fires to the temperatures to the Heat Dome to climate change. The final part of the equation is us humanity and how were the cause of this. Humanity is waging war on nature. This is suicidal. Nature always strikes back and it is already doing so, with growing force and fury. On that, mr guterres is right. Nature is providing any number of warnings. Just look at the last few weeks. Europe has recorded its second hotTestjune. Moscow equalled its highestjune temperature, or if we shift to mexico, its recorded its highest ever temperature injune. That was in mexicali. Or you could look at new zealand. Its winter there. It too has recorded its hotTestjune. The list goes on. And while im going through all of this, perhaps youre thinking, well, we know this. We know climate change is an issue, we know we need to act. We are acting. But there are two important things to note here. The first is that these heat waves in North America have scientists worried. Bear in mind most climate modelling anticipates gradual warming. But as weve seen, theres nothing gradual about this. As the climatologist Professor Sir brian hoskins puts it. In other words, what is starting to happen with climate change may be worse than has been projected. And if thats the first point, the second is this that deciding to act isnt the same as taking the right action. Let me show you what i mean. This year has been full of bold commitments. Scientists tell us that this is the decisive decade, this is the decade we must make decisions that will avoid the worst consequences of a climate crisis. If thats the us then theres china. Its promised to be carbon neutral by 2060. And this is borisjohnson. Were halfway to net zero. We have carbon emissions lower than at any point since the 19th century. Were ending support for fossil fuels overseas and doubling our international climate finance. The language is urgent, more urgent than ever. The policies do go further than before. But there are concerns all of this might not be enough. Listen to this senior climate official on the uks plan to remove as much carbon as it puts in to the atmosphere. Something called net zero. When you look at the policies to deliver it, Im Afraid we are very off track, very, very substantially off track. Really only about 20 of the policy commitments that the government has made would take us towards that goal of net zero emissions. Theres also this from Baroness Worthington whos the Lead Author on the uks climate change act. She says. And all of these commitments and questions feed into the preparations for the uns laTest climate summit, cop26. Its happening in glasgow in november. Its another opportunity to set ambitious targets, and to look at the funding, the technology and the police needed to deliver them. Policies needed to deliver them. But while we build up to that, theres a profound tension in plain sight. A tension between the long term global response and whats happening now. Look at this graph. This shows global carbon emissions. They go up and up. The year with the highest emissions in history was. 2019. And emissions are having consequences now which brings us right back to the heatwaves in North America and why they matter so much, because the individual experiences of the millions of people caught up in this make real the dangers of changing our climate. They make real why cop26 is receiving so much attention. And they offer another reason why just a few months ago david attenborough made this demand of the worlds leaders. Never before its been so important that there should be a playing field, there should be a ground, a Debating Ground where we can all talk and come to an agreement. Because unless we all agree, we are lost. Good Morning. Welcome to breakfast with Ben Thompson and rachel burden. Good Morning, at eight oclock. Our headlines today.

Senior Government Ministers are waiting to hear if theyll have to quarantine after the Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, confirmed he has Tested positive for coronavirus. Mrjavid held a meeting with the Prime Minister On Friday, shortly before experiencing symptoms. It comes ahead of most legal covid restrictions being lifted in england tomorrow. Our political correspondent, nick eardly has this report. Downing street On Friday. The Health Secretary outside number 10, where he held talks with the Prime Minister. Last night, though, Sajid Javid confirmed he had coronavirus, after a second Test. I was feeling a bit groggy Last Night, so i took a lateralTest'>Flow Test this Morning and its come out positive. So im now self isolating at home with my family until i get the results of a Test'>Pcr Test. Im grateful that ive had two jabs of the vaccine, and so far my symptoms are very mild. Hell now have to self isolate and there are questions whether others might be told to stay at home, too, including borisjohnson. It comes ahead of a crucial week in which almost all legal restrictions in england will be lifted. From tomorrow, Social Distancing will be officially scrapped. There will be no limits at events and legally you wont have to wear a face covering. Although in some places, they will still be recommended. But the number of cases is increasing. There were more than 54,000 in the last 24 hour period. And some have warned about being too relaxed in the coming Days and weeks. Next week will be a significant moment in the sometimes slow road out of lockdown in england, but it wont be back to normality overnight. Face coverings will still be recommended in some places, and there will still be an emphasis on caution. And the number of positive cases were seeing, like the Health Secretarys, is a reminder that even if many restrictions are going, the Virus Hasnt disappeared. This is Wales Yesterday people taking advantage of the weather after restrictions and gatherings outside were lifted. There are more freedoms coming for people across the uk, but that doesnt come without risk. Nick eardley, bbc news. Were joined now by our political correspondent, jessica parker. Jess, what impact could this have on the government . Just at the point they want to tell us to go out and take advantage of the new freedoms in england. Breaking news, wevejust had the new freedoms in england. Breaking news, weve just had from number ten, breaking news, weve just had from numberten, because breaking news, weve just had from number ten, because one of the big question has been who did Sajid Javid come into contact with in government and who might be asked to self isolate. Weve just had a notification that the Prime Minister and the chancellor have been contacted by Test'>Nhs Test and trace as contacts of someone who has Tested positive for covid. We imagine that thatis positive for covid. We imagine that that is Sajid Javid. Weve been told that is Sajid Javid. Weve been told that they will be participating in the daily Testing-pilot'>Contact Testing Pilot to allow them to continue to work from Downing Street. They will be conducting only essential Government Business during this period. So it does appear, although they are not specific about it, that the high Minister And Chancellor came into contact with Sajid Javid. We know that he had a meeting with the Health Secretary On Friday. They are going to use this contact tracing a pilot, which Michael Gove incidentally used back injune. Becoming a little bit clearer in terms of those implications. But of course, the backdrop to this is that we are heading into what some are calling Freedom Day tomorrow in england when legal restrictions and social contact are lifted, and when we head into that. find social contact are lifted, and when we head into that. We head into that. And it looks like weve we head into that. And it looks like weve got we head into that. And it looks like weve got a we head into that. And it looks like weve got a problem we head into that. And it looks like weve got a problem with i we head into that. And it looks| like weve got a problem with our line. The key thing to take out of thatis line. The key thing to take out of that is that the Prime Minister will still be working, albeit in a limited capacity, as will the chancellor, and they will be participating in this Test-and-release'>Test And Release scheme. I dont know who gets to say if you can participate, but presumably being the Prime Minister helps in that situation. But we will bring you more on that, and dont forget the Andrew Marr Show from nine oclock this Morning. We will have a voice from the government later. We might find out more about that later. Stan; government later. We might find out more about that later. More about that later. Stay tuned for that.

Nick, what do the laTest changes mean for travellers . Weve touched on some of them there. What will people need to do . The beaches on what will people need to do . The beaches on the island are filling up, but unfortunately a lot of young brits are packing up because this is the last day of their holiDays. Theyve had to cut them short because they are trying to beat this new Quarantine Rule that comes in at 4am tomorrow Morning. Lots of the young brits weve been talking to, theyve had one jab, but because theyve had one jab, but because they are not double jab they face ten Days of isolation if they dont get back before this deadline. What is that meant in practical terms . They have been on a phone is trying to get an early flight, some people have been booking themselves. Theyve had to bring forward the taking of their Test'>Pcr Tests here on the island so they are able to get back to the uk. It has been a bit of a nightmare, really. They are pleased that theyve been able to have a holiday, but it is but a but dampener on things. Are business things on the island, its another headache for them because two weeks ago they were celebrating when ive either went on the green watchlist which meant travel becomes a lot easier, but now they are not quite sure about what is going to happen. People coming back from france tomorrow, another headache for people who are double vaccinated because they are worried about the in france linked to the Beta Variant which was first seen in south africa. So even though you have been double jabbed, you will have to self isolate for ten Days. In terms of this place, the island, lots of planes from the uk still arriving. 20. We were looking at the arrivals board. But i think lots of businesses on the island have been hard hit already, they are going to work out that they have to wait and see reallyjust how many brits will still come, determined to have a holiday, even if it means that when they get back the uk it will be a lot more difficult. Thanks so much. It looks very sunny there.

More than 180 people died and thousands have damian, has there been any update overnight . Overnight, weve had more rain in the south of germany, in bavaria. The rain has gone, the skies are blue, everything looks pretty normal if you dont look at the devastation. But the water is still on the ground so it is still a dangerous situation. The ground is so sudden it has undermined roads and houses, but those rains have moved on. On the border of austria and germany, one village was particularly badly hit, one person died in those flooding is. But of course, people in the south have more warning because the problem here in Western Germany, it happened so quickly, over the space of two Days.

Good Morning everyone, the final round of golf� s oldest major the Open Championship is underway at Royal St georges on the kent coast. South african Louis Oosthuizen leads the way, but there are a few big names lurking behind him. Well lets go live to the course and speak to our reporter ben croucher. Ben, oosthuizens led since the first round can anyone stop him today . Theres every chance because it is the Open Championship and it is always unpredictable. What an absorbing day we had to set up this final round. There was no scoring in the first couple of rounds, low scoring sort some of the organisers picked the pin positions in perilous places. It was all going smoothly for oosthuizen until the back nine when he made a couple of bogeys but he made a fine body at the 16th and has a one Shot Lead going into the final round chasing his second claretjug. The man shes come down as morikaway who says he will use his major Winning Experience from 2022 whole self into can tension. Contention. Spieth had a disastrous business with a bogey and a bogey and a disastrous mess at the 18th. Sutherland and casey are well off the case, five under par. And play� s already underway whats happened so far . Not a great deal because of the ones at the lower end of the leaderBoard At the lower end of the leaderBoard At first on Morning'>Sunday Morning but we have a cracking day to look forward to. Look at the setting and the scenery we have here in sandwich. The sun is shining and the wind is not that strong which will help the players to make low scores and possibly move up the board. Rory Michael Wright is one under par at the moment. Rory mcilroy. We should expect the winners to come down there at about half past six. Silverstone will host the largest crowd at a Sporting Event since before the pandemic, this afternoon for british Grand Prix. Lewis hamilton will be desperate to keep his title hopes alive, but its red Bulls Max Verstappen thats on pole. The current World Championship leader won formula ones first ever Sprint Race yesterday that was being trialled as a new type of qualifying. Hamilton started at the front of the grid for it, but verstapppen took the lead from the start and he wouldnt be caught. Its his fourth consecutive Pole Position it also got him three Championship Bonus points. I dont know if it over delivered power or what, but it is frustrating. But after that, i couldnt get close after that and he was too fast. But we live to fight another day and it is exciting and we did a greatjob trying something new and we go into Tomorrow And Hope tomorrow is a better day. Tadej pogacar is set to defend his tour de France Title this afternoon, as the race concludes in paris. The slovenian finished 8th in yesterDays 20th stage to retain his substantial lead. The tradition is that no one attacks the yellow jersey on the final day. But the other parisian tradition, is a Sprint Finish on the Champs Elysees. Win that, and its history for Mark Cavendish, as drew savage reports. After 2054 miles of dominating the tour de france, Tadej Pogacar finished stage 20 with a lead of more than five minutes. Today hell be drinking champagne on the road to paris. Others will be relieved its over. Geraint thomas had hoped to challenge him but a crash and a dislocated shoulder ended that. Next for him the tokyo olympics. Thomas stayed in the race to help his Team Mate Richard Carapaz of Ineos Grenadiers finish third overall. While Chris Freemans Return from injury was almost scuppered by a crash on day one. Hes done well to make it this far. Most riders will take it easy on the final stage. The belgian Wout Van Aert will be going for another stage victory, this time on the Champs Elysees, tour� s comeback king. Victory in paris for Mark Cavedish would ensure the sprinter� s Green Jersey and set a new all time record of 35 stage wins. There could be a few sore heads in Saint Helens this Morning. Thats because saints won rugby Leagues Challenge Cup for the first time in over a decade, after beating castleford 2612. In front of 45,000 fans at wembley, St Helens came from behind to win a thrilling final in searing heat in london. Castleford had led at half time but three second half tries for saints sealed their first Challenge Cup since 2008 when their Captainjames Roby was also in the side. Yeah, its been a long time coming. Get back even when again, it was a tough game here today. Both teams played really hard on the second half but very special for me as captain to lift the trophy. The preparations now over for the British And Irish Lions they thrashed the stormers 49 3 in theirfinal warm up match before the first Test against south africa next weekend. They did fall behind early, but quickly turned things around. Exeter� s Sam Simmonds was just one of seven try scorers, but the headlines were saved for Tour Captain Alun wynjones. He came off the bench, to complete an incredible return to action. Just three weeks after dislocating his shoulder. And weve been talking about the olympics this Morning-t'>Morning Theres less than a week to go now, with the Opening Ceremony On Friday in tokyo. And two time Gold Medallist jadejones has been getting in the olympic spirit. The british fighter, who won gold at the london and rio games, has got her nails painted specially for the occasion. The olympic rings, the british flag and, fingers crossed for her, a Gold Medal and its not just the hands too. Shes gone all the way with the feet as well. I trusted both you have painted your feet gold. The olympics start On Friday when the ceremony is but some of them start on wednesday. Here on Breakfast Weve been following the journey of team gb swimmer Adam Peaty as he hopes to bring back gold once more. This is his story of his journey to tokyo. Legacy is something that you cant create. Here we go. It creates itself. I just want to be the best. Come on, daddy Adam Peaty takes olympic gold for greta britain. I had mad dreams Last Night, i hadnt raced for so long. I had dreams of getting beat. A year in its like a siege. Edit out that bit. Theres been news about the olympics being on and then off and then on and then. It doesnt really change anything for us. Keep building, keep getting faster, just two lengths, innit . When you are the best in the world, you do think of people beating you. Its natural, you have a target on your back. Ive had a target on my back for the last six, seven years now. And, you know, youvejust got to be one step ahead of the opponent. Adam peaty. At the age of 21, Adam Peaty became olympic champion. Now he is back in the water preparing to defend his Gold Medal. He will swim like hes being chased and thats because he is. You went home, youve been filming for us for months and we are at the point now. Ijust said to myself treasure these moments because well never get this back. Its been a very, very enduring and hard two years because theres been highs, obviously, theres been lows. Ive had times when i think why do i even do this because its demanding . When yourjob requires you to be extremely disciplined and extremely focused 365 Days of the year, that is not normal. He chuckles. So ive just had to completely sweep the whole drive sunday night. Training on monday Morning. Not used to this, injanuary, or about six weeks. We go to australia. There is normally about 35 degrees, 40 degrees on the Gold Coast and now its about 3. This is the app we have to do. You check it in the Morning. Training. Tick. How do you feel . Physically normal . And do you or anyone in your household, do they have covid 19 symptoms . If you have any of them. You submit it. Take the thermometer. In sport, i think you need to believe in yourself, you need to back yourself because no one else is. You know, when its quiet and the blocks go, take your marks, go, complete data science, youve got to be right in your mind saying, look, im going to beat anyone here. For me, youve got to work on those mindset skills every single day. Is that good on the last one, mel . Very good. Its not what youre doing but to me, it every single day. Is that good on the last one, mel . Very good. Its not what youre doing but to me, it is the journey, how you are doing it. How real do the olympics feel . How are near, how close . Very close was that we have spent a long time in the dark with covid and all the restrictions will stop starting to get close now, getting excited about going and ive said to the athletes, we need to go and get what we deserve this summer. Youve got 25 seconds. The nhs has taken care of health and it is sport because myjob to take care of hope. We need to go and represent this country and represent that people have found a way to still achieve things and make progress, even though it has been really difficult. For the average person who would probably be terrified, though it has been really difficult. For the average person who would probably be terrified, but for adam, knowing that he is going to inspire so many i have arrived in manchester, in a few minutes. Whilst we have been given, like, certain slots to get into the hotel. I think i am three until 3 30pm. It is quite creepy, i am in the carfilming mel. I dont know why she has so many cases, shes only a coach, she doesnt even need that much this is the Test'>Covid Test. And my number. We will not be beaten by the pandemic. By the pandemic ive got to wait here and then we are free to roam. Well, not even free to roam. Good evening, manchester obviously, downstairs, we have to wait in line and get almost like a takeaway meal. This is nowhere near enough food for me. What do they think i do . That is not enough food it looks lovely, though. There is the man himself, Adam Peaty. The greaTest breaststroker of all time. Even the coaches arent allowed to shout because of covid. You are literally on the block and it is really quiet. You can hear a pin drop. Thats the thing. If we create a hard environment now, hopefully by the olympics it will become normal. The mature approach now as an athlete, got to take each competition as it goes and as it comes. My muscles are tired, my body is tired but my mind is fresh. Do you think you tend to push too hard . Is that in you . It is in my blood. It is hard wired, unfortunately. My dad was like it. He was a brickie. I always chose sport. In my head i would rather die than lose. If you want to be the best in the world you need that mentality but it is how you use that to your advantage and dont get consumed by it. Some Days, now, im obviously older, i now have my own son. It is about the balance. Some Days you are like i mean it is ok to take a loss today. And not be as hard on myself. I am still training through a pandemic and trying to race through a pandemic and try to make the most of what we have got every single day. Sometimes you think what is the point . Yeah, Thats Daddy for me, and with george, were the emotional support that adam needs, some separation from the pool, somewhere he can come home and not have to talk about his technique at times and stuff like that, somewhere he can escape from it. The olympics is what i live for. Today is moving day. I have literally forgot my pants and socks and spare trousers and everything you need in the Morning, that was a great start we are literally 30 seconds from the new house. Its very exciting. It took two Days to pack up. I have so many butterflies in my tummy. George, are you excited . I feel so emotional that is the messiest bit of the kitchen. This is why the hard work is worth it. Having your own home and providing and having your family. I dont think anything can prepare to that. I feel more motivated now to push on than ever. The kitchen is a mess how much has george changed you . Having a son calms a lot of people down. Its more about broadening my vision and my purpose. Excited for the olympics . Yeah yeah, to me, its all about being obviously, you know, the right Role Model that every parent wants to be. They want to be the best person they can be. So they look up to you. Theresjust such a difference in him. I think its like an added motivation as well for him to do well in sports and outside of sports. And because he has his son watching his every move. It takes a whole Team Effort to get the performance were going to need in the olympics. And you play a little part in that, too, didnt you . But i think also in terms of motivation, that i want to prove that you can be a dad and you can be the best performer in the world. People were, you know, on comments on this kind of swim site, and hes not going to be the athlete he was meant to be at the olympics because hes had a child now. Right. Challenge accepted. Overseas ticket holders for the delayed tokyo games have been left disappointed after organisers confirmed the event will go ahead this summer without them. So the announcement was this week there will be no international visitors allowed at tokyo olympics, which is a little bit disappointing as an athlete. You know, this scenario is that its not going to be. You walk out and you see Tens Of Thousands of people, which is unfortunate. Weve looked at sport and how its adapted around, you know, look at football and how its adapted around no crowds. I think the olympics is still going to have that aura. Can you explain to us what adam is doing now, is this sprints . Were preparing to kick ass. So this is basically his race specific stuff. So hes trying to swim exactly how we would like him to swim when it matters. How has adams year been . Talk about whirlwind. Hes become a father. Hes had to survive a pandemic. Hes had lockdowns where itsjust been him and and his partner and obviously george all in a house. Its about basically putting down, you know, some good times. And a bit of rest. Youve grown so much, my boy. You have. And then really, its all about europeans and olympics. He gets the gold that was a master class. I love you so much. What can adam achieve this summer . The best thing to do is to wait and see. I know hes prepared really well. I know hes up to battle through the challenges of sport within a pandemic. I know hes given me 110 . Not long now till olympics. I go in. Actually, george is here. I go to olympics in four Days and holding camp in yokohama. Obviously, im going to miss my little boy, miss my family, but, you know, itsjust going to be amazing. And ive got a good feeling about good performance in there. Im just going to enjoy it and have a smile on my face like george, you know. Im just going to enjoy it and have a smile on my face like george. Hello. Yeah. He said daddys going to go really, really fast. We love you, and no matter what happens, were so proud of you and were looking forward to cheering you on. So im going to show you what goes into packing for the olympics. And potentially this bag is going to be my weighted blanket. Ive still got to put my pillow in here. Taking my weighted blanket because i sleep better with that. Mel says you are going to carry hope with you. Yeah, and i think i want to prove to people back home that, yes, weve been out the water. Yes. You know, we havent had the perfect, perfect preparation. We havent been in training camps like the rest of these countries. We havent done all the competitions that we normally do. But im still going to show fury down thAt Last 50, and ill show it. And if you can see that and if one person wakes up that day and goes, im going to do that today, myjob is done. He is amazing and we wish him all the very best and we know there will be two people at Home Cheating on from one Team Gb Star to another. Two time olympic Rowing Champion Helen Glover won her second Gold Medal in rio five years ago before retiring now shes returned to the sport in a bid to become the first person to row for great britain at the olympics after having children.
