Reverse plans to continue working rather than self isolate after receiving a official coronavirus alert. We did look briefly at the idea of us taking part in the Pilot Scheme, which allows people to test daily, but i think it is far more important that everybody sticks to the same rules. Two athletes and an official at the tokyo Olympic Village have tested positive for coronavirus just five days before the start of the games. Hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. The german chancellor says the world must hurry in the battle against Global Warming and promised financial aid after the floods in germany and parts of Western Europe killed more than 180 people. Angela merkel has been visiting the affected areas in germany this morning. More Heavy Rain has caused further flooding in southern Germany And Austria overnight. Lets cross to my colleague kasia madera, whos in the german town of sinzig. Sinzig is one of those towns in western germany that caught the full force of the floods, all of this was submerged under water. Local residents were telling me that the Water Levels here reached to the balconies, those first balconies, so everything on the Ground Floor was covered in water and unacceptable. Residents are now finally getting back inside their homes and this is not a salvage operation, it is a complete clear up, absolutely so many homes have been destroyed, theres a lot of mud to be sifted through and just debris that needs to be shifted. These kind of structures need to be worked out, whether they are in fact viable to still stand, an awful lot of work needing to be taking place in this town and this is echoed in many towns in this region. Angela merkel, the chancellor, was visiting another town not far from the chancellor, was visiting another town not farfrom here the chancellor, was visiting another town not far from here to express her condolences and also offer her support. Translation i came here to get a real picture. Translation i came here to get a real picture, and translation i came here to get a real picture, and i translation i came here to get a real picture, and i have translation i came here to get a real picture, and i have to translation i came here to get a real picture, and i have to say translation i came here to get a real picture, and i have to say it real picture, and i have to say it is it real picture, and i have to say it is it really real picture, and i have to say it is it really year he and surreal situation is it really year he and surreal situation for some it is terrifying. There situation for some it is terrifying. There are situation for some it is terrifying. There are no words in the german language there are no words in the german language for this situation for yet it is also language for this situation for yet it is also incredibly comforting to see how it is also incredibly comforting to see how people are sticking together, how they are helping each other, together, how they are helping each other, the together, how they are helping each other, the solidarity that is there. The german chancellor spoke about how this devastation was a horror to her, how surreal it was, how you read it all looked, and when you see just how much has been happening here, the amount of destruction, cars flipped on their sides as if they were toys, it really does ample they were toys, it really does ample the message she delivered when she came to speak to people in this part of western germany that has been so devastated. She spoke about solidarity as well, and we have been seeing that on the ground. Lots of volunteers coming from neighbouring towns that have not been affected have been coming here and have been quietly getting on and helping people just clear all of this stuff that there needs to be shifted away, and it is that sense of Solidarity Thatis and it is that sense of solidarity that is really uniting the people here, but there is not a lot of work to do, a lot of people have lost simply everything, like this resident whose home was completely flooded and now has been gutted. Everything we had, it is here, is full of everything we had, it is here, is full of Mud Everything we had, it is here, is full of mud. The flood basically does full of mud.

And that is one local resident here. There are so many who have lost so much, that sense of shock is absolutely audible amongst all of these communities that we have been speaking to. I talked to that resident about the Alarm System because there has been a conversation here about whether that worked or not and their differing accounts as to how effective it has been. The residents of this apartment, for example, were saying they were warned at 10pm in the evening that water was going to come, but never was it expressed to them just the level of water that was when to come, and by the time it did, it was simply too late for everybody to get out. At the moment it is that sense of shock that people are trying to deal with. Of course Angela Merkel talking about climate change, talking about how the world must react, the government of the state has been talking about for a long, long time. It is a conversation that will feed into the upcoming elections here towards The End of september, because this Clip Operation as you can see, it is immense, it is going to take a long time to get back to any semblance of normality in this part of western germany.

Formula 1 now and Lewis Hamilton has just won the british grand prix in a dramatic race at silverstone. It is the eighth time he has won the home grand prix. He was involved in a collision at the very start with his main rival max verstappen. It resulted in the red Bull Driver having to retire and hamilton having to serve a ten second penalty, but the Mercedes Star was still able to fight back and take the lead in the penalty meant lap. Penultimate lap. The british prime Minister Borisjohnson has urged the public to be cautious and said people must self isolate when told to do. He was speaking in a Video Message on twitter after he and the chancellor both said they were isolating after coming into contact with the Health Secretary, who had tested positive for covid 19. In the face of a growing backlash, Borisjohnson And Rishi sunak were forced to abandon a previous plan to not isolate, as they were part of a Pilot Scheme which would made them exempt from quarantine. It all comes as covid 19 restrictions are lifted in england from tomorrow. Like so many hundreds of thousands of other people across the country, ive been pinged, ive been asked to self isolated by the test, trace and isolate system after i have been in contact with somebody who has a covid in this case, the Health Secretary, sajid javid, and we did looks briefly at the idea of us taking part in the Pilot Scheme which allows people to test daily, but i think it is far more important that everybody sticks to the same rules, and that is what im going to be isolating until the 26th ofjuly, monday the 26th ofjuly, and i really. I know how frustrating it is, but i really ask everybody to tickle the programme and take the appropriate action when asked to do so by Nhs Test and trace. Our Correspondent Nick Eardley explained what led up to this decision from the government. Eight oclock this morning, we all got a Statement Saying that the Prime Minister and the chancellor had been in contact with the Health Secretary before he got his positive test, but they would be exempt. 157 minutes later, two and a half hours later, we got a complete the different statements, saying that they would now self isolate, the chronister at chequers the Prime Minister at chequers, the chancellor in this flat at downing street. I think it is pretty clear this has happened because there was pretty unanimous, pretty speedy outrage that there was the prime Minister And Chancellor not having to isolate. The exemption, Michael Gove used it last month, but the outrage was such, the feeling in government was a simple he had to change their mind. And we get a flavour of perhaps some of that Hitting Home in a tweet from the chancellor, who said it has to be pretty clear that there is one rule for us and one rule for everybody else. Rule for us and one rule for everybody else. Rule for us and one rule for Eve Bod else. ,. ,. , everybody else. And it is all about Symbolism Everybody else. And it is all about Symbolism In everybody else. And it is all about symbolism. In the everybody else. And it is all about symbolism. In the Symbolism Everybody else. And it is all about symbolism. In the symbolism of l symbolism. In the symbolism of tomorrow, which is supposed to be free today in england, with the lifting of restrictions, is that actually unfreedom day, the Prime Minister is going to be isolating and chequers. Taste minister is going to be isolating and Chequers Minister is going to be isolating and cheuuers. ,. ,. ,. And chequers. We are going to have this extraordinary and chequers. We are going to have this extraordinary situation and chequers. We are going to have this extraordinary situation where i this extraordinary situation where on the day in the week where the government is trying to sell a nuanced message that legal research is almost completely gone but you still need to be cautious, three of the key players, three of the key ministers in the Governments Response to covid are going to be spending time at home. The Prime Minister, the Health Secretary and the chancellor, the civil is him of thatis the chancellor, the civil is him of that is huge. Some have dubbed this a day where freedom returns. It will for these three ministers, because they will be self isolating, it is worth pondering on the fact that tomorrow in england, all legal resources are lifted apart from one, which is the legal requirement to stay at home if youre contacted by test and trace. find Stayathome if youre contacted by test and trace. Test and trace. And all through Boris Johnson Test and trace. And all through Boris Johnson was test and trace. And all through Boris Johnson was saying test and trace. And all through Boris Johnson was saying that L Test and trace. And all through i Boris Johnson was saying that this borisjohnson was saying that this change tomorrow, it needs to be cautious and irreversible, but we have heard a lot less of that word, he reversible, and the fear is that theres a lot of talk now that we may potentially later on the year put more instructions. May potentially later on the year put more instructions. Theres a lot of nervousness, put more instructions. Theres a lot of nervousness, and put more instructions. Theres a lot of nervousness, and you put more instructions. Theres a lot of nervousness, and you heard put more instructions. Theres a lot. Of nervousness, and you heard some of nervousness, and you heard some of it injesses piece there from Neil Ferguson about not being clearly sure how high hospitalisations may go in the number of positive cases. It is clear they� re number of positive cases. It is clear theyre going to increase over the next few weeks also the government is prepared for 100,000 positive cases some days to be recorded, you have seen the Governments Message Change slightly from getting to a point where we lift all restrictions to, yes, but youve got to be really cautious when we lift those restrictions. You heard robertjenrick a couple of weeks ago talking about not wearing a face covering when not required to do so for some now he is talking about wearing a face covering when in crowded places or coming into contact with people in close parks and many who would not normally see, so that message has been nuanced. I suppose one of the questions some in the Opposition Parties will be asking is whether some of the messaging has been damaged today by the fact that initially the Prime Minister in the chancellor were not intending to self isolate despite being in close contact with someone who had tested positive for covid. Now the fact that theyve decided theyre going to self isolate will mitigate some of that, but i think we also will still hear a criticism of the way this was handled initially, questions about who signed it off, whether the Prime Minister knew that this was the plan if it is hard to see how he would not have known that it was the plan and it is worth remembering that while well over half million people in the less we have been told they have to self isolate, ultimately, this was a choice for the Prime Minister and the chancellor. It is not a choice for everybody else. That was our political Correspondent Nick Eardley. We have also had some reaction to that decision from the opposition. The Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer said the prime Ministers Behaviour showed contempt for the british public. Yet again it is double standard from the government. Infection or going to the river, hundreds of thousands of people are having to self isolate, and theyre doing the right thing. It happens when the rules apply to the Prime Minister . He tries to wriggle out of them and to present he is on some Pilot Scheme that exams him, so i am afraid, yet again, that we see it is one rule for them and another rule for everybody else. It is one rule for them and another rule for everybody else. For everybody else. It is the Prime Minister and for everybody else. It is the Prime Minister and the for everybody else. It is the Prime Minister and the chancellor for everybody else. It is the Prime Minister and the chancellor of for everybody else. It is the Prime Minister and the chancellor of the | minister and the chancellor of the exchequer, though, if they have access to a Pilot Scheme, why should they not do it and go to work . Hundreds of thousands of people are having to self isolate because of the Prime Ministers reckless decisions. He expects them to follow the rules. As soon as there was apply to him, what does he try to do . He tries to wriggle out. And the only reason he has you turn on this is because he has been busted. It is like Bank Robbers who have been caught and are offering the money back. It is contemptuous of the british public. That is the labour party leader, Sir Keir Starmer. The headlines on Bbc News the german chancellor Angela Merkel calls for the world to speed up efforts to tackle climate change. In the face of a growing outcry, the british Prime Minister and his chancellor reversed plans to carry on working rather than self isolate after receiving an official Kernel Drivers an official coronavirus alert. With just days to go until the Opening Ceremony of the olympics, theres a deepening sense of crisis about the Olympic Games Injapan with new coronavirus cases identified now among athletes inside the Olympic Village. Three members of the south african Football Association have tested positive. A statement by the Football Team Manager reads. Adding that, as a result, the entire team has been quarantined and will not be allowed to train. They are due to play their Opening Match on thursday. But are there more cases . Earlier on, olympic officials reported the first infections among competitors staying at the village, but didnt make clear if they were referring to the South Africans. Team gb has confirmed that six athletes and two coaches from the Athletics Team have been forced to isolate as they were identified as close contacts. All eight Team Members have tested negative. For more on the situation, heres dan orlowitz, Sports Journalist for the japan times. The particles are different for each discipline, for each competition, but the efforts are being made as much as possible to ensure that metals are not awarded by default. The protocols. If an athlete has to miss his or her competition because of a positive covid test, their spot in the final or semifinal would go to the next best Place Athlete for example and every thing would roll up, but officials are hoping there will not be any cases of that when the condition starts. These games have never been over womanly popular since the start of the pandemic. Public opinion has been pretty equally split between hosting, postponing or cancelling, so there hasnt been a clear consensus, but we are seeing over the next, because few days is a growing feeling of anger of the public, especially in light of Ioc President thomas bock� s comments. He seems quite Tone Deaf to the concerns of the japanese public. Concerns of the japanese there seems quite Tone Deaf to the concerns of the japanese there is a lot of anxiety, a lot of nervousness. The question never means whether these are a few i cited cases or if this is the start of something bigger. A few isolated cases. Afghan Peace Talks have continued for a second day in the Gulf State of qatar as the violence intensifies across afghanistan. The Countrys Minister for peace told the bbc they hoped afghan officials and the taliban would clarify their ideas on key issues to help chart set a Road Map to end the conflict.

Israel has recorded a four month high in new daily coronavirus cases, going from nearly none a few weeks ago to more than 800 a day, although the number of serious cases remains low. The country vaccinated its Adult Population at the worlds fastest rate, and theres now a rush to immunise the young, with no Firm Decision yet on whether to bring back major restrictions. Heres our middle East Correspondent tom bateman. There are some nerves, a bit of comfort and lots of relief, too. Israel is racing to vaccinate its teenagers. This boy is only 12 and getting his second dose. I am here today to go back to regular life and to say enough to coronavirus. The Gold Family children are here with their mum. My dad told me he would never do anything that could hurt me, so i have nothing to worry about, says 12 year old noah. A third of israelis are under 16. And the Age Group is a big part of the new covid caseload, due to the Delta Variant brought in from abroad. Well, there is no way that anyone could be completely sure that travellers arent taking the virus with them when they fly. But here, theyve been trying to crack down as hard as they can at the airport. It has been controversial and difficult, though, as this country struggles with the surge of the new variant. Its israels delta dilemma. He is very excited about going to see his grandparents and friends, and were also excited. When was the last time you left the country . Christmas in germany. In israel, lifes been back to near normal for months, but then came the delta surge. Some blamed loopholes in Air Travel rules for it getting in. Officials say thats now fixed. But in the face of the variant, the government so far is bringing back only modest restrictions. Well, if youve landed at ben gurion, you cant actually leave the airport now until youve done this. So, could more restrictions return here . The top Government Adviser tells me the vaccines work, but theyre not bulletproof. Have you changed your own behaviours from, say, four weeks ago . Oh, yeah, im much more cautious. Im much more reluctant to go into mass gatherings, in general enclosed, confined spaces. And im much more careful with my unvaccinated kids about selecting the confined indoor settings that theyre going to spend time in. Now, one of the worlds most vaccinated populations finds itself a Testing Ground again. Tom bateman, Bbc News, jerusalem. And you are watching Bbc News. Now, lets get a look at the latest Weather Forecast for you. That comes from susan powell. Hello. This weekend has brought lots of sunshine and lots of warmth to the uk. And theres more to come on into the week ahead as well, as High Pressure keeps our weather largely settled. Saturday saw a new record high temperature in Northern Ireland. There was more cloud around here, though, on sunday, and that is because despite having High Pressure, we have still managed to work the remnants of a weak Cold Front into the north of the uk, through sunday, hence a Cooler Day for scotland and Northern Ireland and some more cloud around here. A little bit of that cloud will trickle down the North Sea Coast overnight as well. A pleasant enough night for going to sleep, though, for scotland and Northern Ireland, unlike the rather sticky, humid conditions which will persist across england and wales. Monday, a lot of fine weather to come, a lot of sunshine, some cloud will bother the North Sea Coasts through the day, but it should look brighter, particularly for Northern Scotland and Northern Ireland, and it will become warmer once again, temperatures two or three degrees up on sunday. England and wales perhaps two or three degrees down but still very warm with temperatures in the high 20s. As High Pressure sticks around, very little difference in our scenario for tuesday, still plenty of fair weather to come, plenty of warmth, slim chance of a shower across eastern england. It could produce quite a bit of rain if we do see a shower, but it is a very small risk. We have got temperatures again, thouggh, widely we have got temperatures again, though, widely in the mid to high 20s. Wednesday, High Pressure sitting firmly in place, a little bit of North Sea cloud, perhaps a bit of fair Weather Cloud inland, but a lot of sunshine and a lot of Warmth Warmth Building for Glasgow And Belfast through the middle of the week. Temperatures 26, 27 degrees here. Thursday, its looking very similar yet again. Sunshine dominating the picture, a little bit of fair Weather Cloud here or there, and in that sunshine, temperatures mid to high 20s. The end of the week, though, does pose a Question Mark in terms of our forecast. Big areas of High Pressure, always slightly unpredictable to break down how quickly they will clear away, maybe friday, but certainly on into next weekend, it looks like the picture will become dramatically different as low pressure sweeps into the uk, ushers in Cooler Air and i think we will see some pretty big thunderstorms for a time as well. Hello, this is Bbc News with ben brown. The headlines the german chancellor, Angela Merkel, visits the region of western germany hit by devastating floods. She says the world must hurry in its fight against Global Warming and Pledges Aid for rebuilding the area quickly. Translation it all suggests that it has something to do i with climate change. We have to hurry. We have to get a Move On in the fight against climate change. The uk prime Minister And Chancellor have been accused of a u turn. They are now self isolating after being in contact with the Health Secretary, sajid javid, who has coronavirus, but at first the government said they were exempt from Self Isolation because they were part of a Pilot Scheme. We did look briefly at the idea of us taking part in the Pilot Scheme, which allows people to test daily, but i think it is far more important that everybody sticks to the same rules. Two athletes and an official at the tokyo Olympic Village have
