While the team Gb Flagbearers for the ceremony have been announced. Its Sailor Hannah mills and Rower Mo sbihi Who Will lead out the team. Theyre both Gold Medallists from five years ago. The Met Office has issued its first ever extreme Heat Warnings for Northern Ireland, parts of england, and wales. I am at a farm outside wolverhampton to discover how they are giving their staff, their crops, and their animals safe. Yesterday in Northern Ireland was the hottest part of the uk, it also broke its own temperature record, 31. 3 celsius. Today, Northern Ireland could once again break that record from yesterday. For all of us, its going to be warm or its going to be hot, a lot of sunshine after the early cloud burns away. All the details coming up. Good morning. Its thursday the 22nd ofjuly. Our top story. Unions have reacted angrily after the government offered most nhs workers in england a Pay Rise of 3 , which is less than the treasurys predicted rate of inflation. Other Front Line Public Sector workers, including teachers, Police Officers and soldiers, will receive no increase at all. Our political correspondent Helen Catt has the details. Its been one of the biggest political rows of the year. How much of a Pay Rise should nurses, paramedics, and many other Health Care Staff get after months on the gruelling Front Line of a pandemic, which has also hit the economy . When ministers in england suggested in march that i was affordable, there was a backlash. Now they and the welsh government have agreed to put Pay Up by 3 , backdated to april. The figure was recommended by an independent Pay Review Body. The Health Secretary, who is in Self Isolation, posted a video on Social Media giving his view. Im sure that this Pay Rise will make a real difference to peoples lives, not only putting more money in their pockets, but showing them how much we value and respect their incredible contribution to our nation. Unions have called the decision a shambolic, and argued it falls far short. They had called for a rise of between 5 and i2. 5 . Health staff in england will look to scotland, where their counterparts received a much more generous settlement earlier this year, so not only was it more money, but it was backdated as well, so they had payments that go back to december. So staff will feel that this is falling short of what workers in scotland have already had. For other Public Sector workers, there was confirmation that their pay is not going up. Teachers will see their salaries frozen, as announced by the chancellor in the autumn. So too will the police, although people earning less than £24,000 in both professions will get £250, and officers will still get any incrementaL Rises which they were due. Labour has accused the government of inflicting a real terms Pay Cut on the police and teachers, and on nhs pay, it says ministers have had to row back on a shoddy ill thought through position. The royal College Of Nursing has said it will consult its members on what steps to take next. A decision has now been made, but the discussion is not over yet. Helen catt, Bbc News, westminster. Our chief political correspondent Adam Fleming is in westminster. Adam, the government is facing criticism from the people who are helping us to get through this pandemic. How will they respond . What will happen announced that the unions will consult their members, that will take a couple weeks, and in theory, you could see some nhs workers going on strike if they are really angry about the size of this Pay Award, even though even though the government has increased it quite a lot from where its initial position was. When Matt Hancock was the Health Secretary, remember him . It was going to be a i increase. It is now a 3 increase under the new Health Secretary. Some questions about how this information came out as well, unions said they were expecting it last week, then the middle of this week, then early yesterday, then we got the Health Minister coming to make an announcement that we thought was the announcement that we thought was the announcement of pay, and it wasnt, and then it came out in a written statement at about 5. 30. Mps will be wondering why they have not had a chance to question ministers about that. Also questions from the organisations that provide the care in The Nhs about how this will be funded. Will they get extra money from the government to now pay for a bigger than expected Pay Bill . And then of course, we have the process with the unions about members been consulted on where that leads. The government is also facing increasing pressure to change the rules over Self Isolation because of severe staff shortages. Is that likely . Suggestions of shortages in some supermarkets. They do not have the drivers or the shelf stackers. So there is a huge number of Covid Cases every day, that it was about 44,000 positive tests yesterday, and that those people who come into contact with those people get pinged by the app and are told to isolated at home, they get a call from Test And Trace telling them they have to isolate at home because somebody they know has got covid. That means there is a large number of people not at work, it is particularly affecting retail. Lots of supermarkets saying that may be one in 20 of their workforce is at home at the moment, so the newspapers are full of pictures of shops with empty shelves. We are Hearing Reports of Petrol Stations closing as well. It is and was very Hard To gauge exactly what is going on nationwide, and sometimes a couple of pictures can make it look like there are empty shelves everywhere, but the retailers say they are feeling real pressure, and it is having an impact on their stores. Then they would like the government to exempt their workers from having to isolate. The government is sticking to its position which is that, for now, in a few crucial sectors like Power Stations and health and social, then it may be workers will not have to isolate if they are penned by the app, but that does not apply to the workforce generally, and also the real big changes to the Isolation Policy for everyone will not come in until August The 16th, so it will not be until the middle of next month that you will be able to avoid isolation if you have had both doses of the vaccine and able to get lateral Flow Test every day instead. But i think this is just going to be a consequence of the economy opening up a consequence of the economy opening up fully, theyre not being any rules any more, and restrictions on peoples movements, but a lot of cases of covid in the community. Adam, for the moment, thank you. Ministers in Northern Ireland will meet later to decide whether to ease Coronavirus Restrictions next week. The northern Ireland Executive has previously indicated that it hopes to re open theatres and conference venues and relax some of the rules on socialising. If approved, the changes will come into force from monday. Tomorrows Opening Ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics has been plunged into further chaos following the dismissal of its Show Director.

At this stage, we just dont know. We are hearing harrowing stories about people waiting for four hours, Standing Holding onto the rails waiting for rescuers, gasping for air. 12 people lost their lives, the investigation is under way here.

Kensington palace has released this photograph to mark the occasion. It was taken earlier this month by his mother, the duchess of cambridge. As you can see, a very happy looking prince is sitting on the bonnet of a Land Rover in norfolk. Now the weather with carol. Everyone wants to know, i am looking at that scene, it is going to be another Hot One. It is indeed, good morning, everybody. It is a nice warm start to the day here In London, a gentle breeze. Yesterday the highest temperature in the uk was in Northern Ireland, in county tyrone, reaching 31. 3 celsius. And thatis tyrone, reaching 31. 3 celsius. And that is the highest temperature ever recorded in the Northern Ireland. Today, though, the potentialfor that temperature to be beaten. The forecast for the next few days, another Hot One Today And Tomorrow, and as we head into the weekend, we are looking at some heavy Thundery Downpours that could well lead to localised flooding with a lot of Lightning Strikes. The Met Office still has two amber extreme Heat Weather warnings in force, you can see them across Northern Ireland. That runs until midnight on friday, and the south West And Quarter of the uk runs until Midnight Tonight. So this morning, we have a lot of low cloud across the North And East, with some mist that will burn away, with some mist that will burn away, with a lot of sunshine, it might linger around the coast, and temperatures could get up to 3132 in Northern Ireland, but it will be hot and sunny across most areas. This evening, any showers that have developed through the course of the day will tend to fade once again, all the Cloud Front and back in from the North Sea across the North And East, some Mist And Fog patches for men, and it will be a warm night. Tomorrow we will start off with all that cloud, much of it will burn away, but there will be more proud in england and we have seen in the last few days, having said that, still a lot of sunshine, cool along the East Coast because we will have an easterly flow, so the heat again will be in the west, but not quite as high as its going to be today for some. Then as we head into the weekend, that is when it breaks down. But for scotland and Northern Ireland, you will hang onto some dry and sunny conditions, but for all of us, temperatures closer to where they should become a feel fresher thanit they should become a feel fresher than it has done.

Six year old Bradley Lowery passed away four years ago. He had neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer. He was mad about Sunderland Football Club and captured the heart of his herojermain defoe. When he died, the money raised for his treatment was used to set up a charity to help others, but its also helped his own mum. I threw myself into supporting other families with the Bradley Lowery foundation, and i knew that i had to get up of a morning because i knew i had otherfamilies to help, so they didnt have to go through the pain that i went through. How far do those feelings go . Very far. I was in a very, very, very low point In My Life, and i really did not want to be here, i really didnt, i wanted to be with bradley, because the pain is that bad. However, there is a difference between wanting to do it and actually doing it. But i knew that i needed to kind of get some help. And you do start to learn to Love Life again, and to enjoy life. I look at photos, and i am happy, and videos, and it brings a smile. Where are we going .

How do you feel when you think about the future . Im scared, nervous, but im excited. That doesnt mean to say that its an easy ride. When i first fell pregnant, i thought, what if bradley didnt want this, what am i doing, what happens when the baby comes, how will i feel . But now im quite excited.

Lets Take A Look at todays papers. The Daily Mirror leads on the offer of a 3 Pay Rise for nhs workers, describing it as an insult. The paper asks, is that really all they are worth . The guardian says nurses are likely to reject the offer and may take Industrial Action in protest, while other unions also plan to ballot memberships over possible strikes. Many of the papers lead with the large number of workers being told to self isolate by the Nhs Covid app, with Staffing Shortages now affecting supermarket supplies. The sun says stores have warned the prime minister He Hasjust 48 hours to fix the crisis, or shoppers will face empty shelves. The metro calls it shelf isolation. It also highlights that Sir Keir Starmer is self isolating after one of his children tested positive for covid. Despite being the worlds largest producer of covid vaccines, just 6 of people in india have received both doses. With fears of an imminent third wave, there is now pressure to vaccinate more of the population. Our South Asia Correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan has this report. These are the lengths some Health Workers are going to to deliver vaccines across india. In this far flung corner of the country, theyre making arduousjourneys to reach remote villages accessible only by foot. In the blistering heat, we trekked through the jungle with this team. Covid cases have been rising here in the state of arunachal pradesh, so they are picking up the pace of their vaccine drive. Translation we go by foot, boat, or by hanging bridges. There are some very dangerous places here. Our main responsibility is to maintain the temperature of the Cool Box to preserve the vaccines. Thats why we try to reach the villages as soon as we can. The team are pushing themselves to the limit, but here in changlang and all across india, there have been challenges. The government has been criticised for being too slow to getjabs out. In this district, they have offered cash prizes to Health Centres which deliver the most doses. How long have we got now . Half an hour, we how long have we got now . Half an hour. We need how long have we got now . Half an hour, we need to how long have we got now . Half an hour, we need to work how long have we got now . Half an hour, we need to work more. How long have we got now . Half an i hour, we need to work more. Another half an hour . Hour, we need to work more. Another half an hour . Yeah. Hour, we need to work more. Another half an hour . Yeah. Ok, hour, we need to work more. Another half an hour . Yeah. Ok, this hour, we need to work more. Another half an hour . Yeah. Ok, this is hour, we need to work more. Another half an hour . Yeah. Ok, this is not. Half an hour . Yeah. Ok, this is not eas. After three gruelling hours, we finally make it to the tribal village of kamlang. Outside the school, theyre already waiting for theirjabs. Its quite a turnaround after villagers were scared to get a vaccine. This man was one of the many who needed persuading. There were rumours that you would fall sick or die after taking one, he told me. Most villagers didnt want to come for the vaccine, but Health Workers convinced us, so we agreed. It took months of work to overcome Vaccine Hesitancy among the districts 80,000 adults. India has just come out of a devastating second wave, and the race is now on to get as many people vaccinated vaccinated as possible. Nationally, around one third of adults have had at least one dose, but here in changlang, despite the odds, they have done better. More than 80 of people have had one shot. Changlangs programme is going against the grain. Officials say incentives are also boosting turnout. At a nearby village, they are running a Vaccination Drive on the same day that they are distributing free rice rations. In this farming community, it is an effective way to encourage people to show up. Most of the people are into agriculture. They have to spare two days, one for getting rice and one to get vaccination, so the idea behind this putting both together is that they have to spare only one day. They might be leading the way in changlang, but indias Vaccination Programme is making slow progress. It still has a long way to go if it wants to reach its target of immunising all 915 Million adults by The End of this year. Rajini vaidyanathan, Bbc News, arunachal pradesh.

The number of young people in england who have been admitted to hospital with an Eating Disorder, has risen by almost 50 according to nhs figures. Waiting times for treatment have also increased dramatically, with Community Based Services struggling to keep up with demand. Jayne mccubbin has been to meet one family who found it difficult to cope during lockdown, when their daughter developed anorexia. She just wouldnt eat. She would just not eat. You feel like you cant win. Its like your child has been taken as a hostage. You are seeing your child die, slowly, in front of you. Ijust want my child to eat. How can i make my child eat .

It ends on a positive note and this is a family getting some help but we understand that the number of young people affected by anorexia or some form of Eating Disorder is a lot worse now than it has been. Is that something you are seeing . Absolutely. Hannahs story was unfortunately quite a common situation and we know that the pandemic has been very, very tough for young people and that has affected their mental Well Being in many ways and one way it has presented is there has been a significant increase in people with Eating Disorders and one thing i find very, very worrying is what we have also seen as a large increase in the number of people needing admissions for Eating Disorders which highlights the severity and the stage that people get to and this really worries me and it highlights that people are not getting the help with the Eating Disorder before they get to the severe level requiring admission like hannah did.

What are you seeing within your own practice or within the communities you work in . I am speaking to so many people every day who have been asked to self isolate either through the Track And Trace app or because theyve had direct contact with somebody who is positive for Covid Or Somebody who is positive for covid in their household and we are seeing this very commonly and it is affecting many services because there is concern about supermarkets and in my practice we have a couple of people who are isolating at the moment and the rules have now changed but with very specific, careful measures, people in some Front Line services can return to the workplace that they obviously have to have a Risk Assessment and meet criteria in order to do so, so i think this is causing disruption across the country in many Businesses.

And centre in News Coverage because of the 3 pay offer, the Pay Award the government has announced. Can i ask you for a thought on that because the unions, the nurses unions have said that there has been dismay about what it will mean in real terms. Dismay about what it will mean in realterms. Firstly dismay about what it will mean in real terms. Firstly i would say that this doesnt affect me because i am a Gp Partner. The this doesnt affect me because i am a Gp Partner a Gp Partner. The Pay Rise doesnt affect me a Gp Partner. The Pay Rise doesnt affect Me My a Gp Partner. The Pay Rise doesnt affect me. My opinion a Gp Partner. The Pay Rise doesnt affect me. My opinion is a Gp Partner. The Pay Rise doesnt affect me. My opinion is not a Gp Partner. The Pay Rise doesnt| affect me. My opinion is not based on that. So, yes, its a 3 increase and we were told it might be a 1 increase and some people might think Thatis Increase and some people might think that is positive and a lot of Public Sector workers are having a pay freeze, however, we have to put this into the context that over the last Decade Health Care workers have had a 19 Pay Cut because Pay Increases have not kept up with inflation. I think personally we have a long way to go with this and with working conditions for our Health Care workers who have frankly kept us all going over the last couple of years in order to ensure that we have a appropriate and good Recruitment And Retention of staff which is what we really need as we continue through this pandemic. And we will also face many years of delays and problems in The Nhs as a result, so we need to really think about our Staffing Levels carefully and how we achieve that. Rachel, i know you made the point that it doesnt affect you personally. Point that it doesnt affect you personally point that it doesnt affect you personally. But we are Hearing Talk of industrial personally. But we are Hearing Talk Of Industrial Action personally. But we are Hearing Talk Of Industrial Action and personally. But we are Hearing Talk Of Industrial Action and that Of Industrial Action and that clearly would have implications for everyone involved in The Nhs system. Obviously these things are never taken lightly and i was involved in thejunior taken lightly and i was involved in the junior Doctor Strike years ago now and that was a very rare occurrence. I think we are a long way off that at the moment and lets hope it doesnt come to that. Rachel, have a good day and always good to catch up with you. Thank you very much. We have to talk to mike, the olympic tomorrow, the Opening Ceremony on the games have begun we the Football Yesterday but it is mired in controversy. Mired in controversy. Hard to remember mired in controversy. Hard to remember a mired in controversy. Hard to remember a more mired in controversy. Hard to remember a more troubled i mired in controversy. Hard to remember a more troubled buildup remember a more troubled Build Up to an olympics ever and that is aside from covid as you have the Show Director now sacked for him making jokes about the holocaust in a video in 1998 and there will be a review of the plans for the Opening Ceremony but more couple of positive faces in terms of Team Gb. Whatever form the Opening Ceremony takes, two Gold Medallists from rio, will be leading out Team Gb in tokyo. Sailor hannah mills, and Rower Mo sibihi have been named as Flagbearers In A Break from tradition, each nation has been allowed to choose one female and one male representative. Mills and sibihi were selected from a group of athletes, nominated by their sports, as exemplifying the olympic and Team Gb values. Shooter amber hill, said she was absolutely devastated after being forced to pull out of the games, following, a positive covid test. Shes the World Number one, in the Womens Skeet and was a big medal hope. Better news for the 400 metre hurdler, jessie knight, Who Will, be allowed to compete at the games, despite being among those told to isolate, after a passenger on their flight, To Tokyo tested positive for coronavirus. Theyve all been given the green light to resume training. As an athlete you did know it could happen because of the current information, so you just knew, and im just relieved i havent tested positive and im in a good position and have not tested positive and to be honest im spending a lot of time in my room but i am relaxed and can focus on the one thing and the reason i am here. The new Cricket Competition the hundred got off to a flying start with the first Womens Match and oval invincibles pulled off a thrilling victory over manchester originals. Over seven and a half thousand people were watching and our Reporterjo Currie was among them. Lighting up the london sky, a potential new era for cricket in this country. The traditionalists said there was no appetite for a new Tournament But Plenty of fans made their way to The Oval for this historic game to see what the hundred was all about. A Womens Match to kick things off, and visitors manchester originals winning the toss and opting to bat. After all the hype, all eyes were on that first ball. A wide. Perhaps the nerves were showing early. The first wicket quickly followed, but the invincibles found it harder to remove South African batter, lizelle lee. One the big name signings of the league, she showed how you turn up to a big match, notching up 42. Indias Harmanpreet Kaur Wasnt messing around either. This was a third boundary in a row. When you only have 100 balls to win a game, this is how to do it, before Kate Cross saw out the Originals Innings as they set a target of 136 for victory. When you are the tournaments youngest player you might be forgiven for a little trepidation, but not 16 year old, alice capsey, this, her first ball. As time ticked on the invincibles were under pressure to hit runs. Enter Dane Van Niekerk as her half century set up a nervy finish. With the hosts needing one run from three balls, they did it with a couple to spare. So there it is, The Oval Making History by recording the first ever win in the hundred. The question is now can they and the other teams win over fans in this format of the game in the coming weeks. Jo currie, Bbc News, The Oval. Its one of the great sporting comebacks. Alun Wyn Jones will captain the British And Irish Lions for the Opening Test against South Africa on saturday. Yet, the Welshmans Tour looked to be over less than a month ago, after he suffered a dislocated shoulder but his remarkable recovery means hell become the first player in the professional era, to win 10 successive Test Caps for the lions. Its a side that has three scottish players, for the first time in 24 years, and a team, that against all the odds, will be led by the 35 year old Wyn Jones. To be sitting here now and involved in the Test Matches what ive worked for, and id be lying if i said it was two years, its more like four years, and when you finish a series or tour, you dont know if you will have a lot of games going under the bridge, so to be sitting here now, its a very special thing, but like i say, its a very short step to what will be hopefully an enjoyable week.

We have to talk to carol about the weather and if youve been hearing a heart and unable to sleep, carol is in the perfect position. Hi, cooling down, maybe maybe not a sticky hot breeze on the roof of Broadcasting House. Good morning, carol. Good morning. A new absolute right, its perfect on the roof In London. Nice temperatures of 19 degrees, a gentle breeze and The Sun is out but the forecast for the next few days is another hot and sunny one, especially for Today And Tomorrow and temperatures will then return to close to average as we head into the weekend but the weekend for england and wales is going to be a wet one with torrential and Thundery Downpours and lightning flashes and the chance we could have localised flooding. There are two Amber Warnings in force from the Met Office for extreme heat for Northern Ireland and the South West quarter of the uk. The South West one will run out at Midnight Tonight and the Northern Ireland one runs out at Midnight Tomorrow night. This morning we have a murky start to the day with cloud in the North And East and misty patches around but most of that will lift and some of The Cloud is lingering along the coastline itself but a lot of sunshine and the odd shower popping up in the afternoon. Still a hot day for most and Northern Ireland could reach 31 or possibly 32 degrees, higher than the record that was set yesterday. Through the evening and overnight a lot of the showers will fade and there will be a lot of dry weather but you will see a lot of cloud coming in from the North Sea across the North And East and it will be another warm night in prospect. Tomorrow we start with all of The Cloud and if Anything Tomorrow in england it will be more cloud than we are used to this week but there will still be a lot of sunshine as well. Out towards the west, here is where we will have the highest temperatures but you will notice by The End of the day we have showery rain across the South West and the Channel Islands. Temperatures, the highest in the west, cool in the east with an easterly flow coming in from the North Sea. And then on saturday, we have some Rain Moving Northwards across england and also wales and that is what we were telling you about, likely to be heavy and thundery and could lead to localised flooding but as we move north to scotland and Northern Ireland we look at dry conditions with sunshine but across the board, the temperatures will be lower than they will be as we go through the next couple of days and on sunday it remains unsettled, particularly across england and wales.

Our Headlines Today a 3 Pay Rise for nurses and Nhs Staff. Unions say its not enough, but the Health Secretary claims it will make a real difference to peoples lives. Not only putting more money in their pockets, but showing them how much we value and respect their incredible contribution to our nation. Shop owners warn their ability to keep shelves stocked and remain open is under increasing pressure because of the number of Staff Self isolating. The boss of the tokyo olympics Opening Ceremony has been sacked just a day before its due to take place. Good before its due to take place. Morning. Today we a at good morning. Today we are looking at a fair bit of sunshine, yesterday we had provisional of the highest temperature on record in Northern Ireland, reaching 31. 3 celsius. Todayit ireland, reaching 31. 3 celsius. Today it might get a little higher. For most, temperatures in the Mid To High 20s Orjust about 30 celsius. All the details coming up. Provisionally the highest temperature on record. Good morning. Its thursday the 22nd ofjuly. Our top Story Unions have reacted angrily after the government offered most nhs workers in england a Pay Rise of 3 , which is less than the treasurys predicted rate of inflation. Other frontline Public Sector workers, including teachers, Police Officers and soldiers, will not receive an increase. Our political correspondent Helen Catt has the details. We are The Nhs enough is enough its been one of the biggest political rows of the year. How much of a Pay Rise should nurses, paramedics, and many other Health Care Staff get after months on the gruelling Front Line of a pandemic, which has also hit the economy . When ministers in england suggested in march that 1 was affordable, there was a backlash. Now they and the welsh government have agreed to put Pay Up by 3 , backdated to april. The figure was recommended by an independent Pay Review Body. The Health Secretary, who is in Self Isolation, posted a video on Social Media giving his view. Im sure that this Pay Rise will make a real difference to peoples lives, not only putting more money in their pockets, but showing them how much we value and respect their incredible contribution to our nation. Unions have called the decision a shambolic, and argued it falls far short. They had called for a rise of between 5 and 12. 5 . Health staff in england will look to scotland, where their counterparts received a much more generous settlement earlier this year, so not only was it more money, but it was backdated as well, so they had payments that go back to december. So staff will feel that this is falling short of what workers in scotland have already had. For other Public Sector workers, there was confirmation that their pay is not going up. Teachers will see their salaries frozen, as announced by the chancellor in the autumn. So too will the police, although people earning less than £24,000 in both professions will get £250, and officers will still get any incrementaL Rises which they were due. Labour has accused the government of inflicting a real terms Pay Cut on the police and teachers, and on nhs pay, it says ministers have had to row back on a shoddy ill thought through position. The royal College Of Nursing has said it will consult its members on what steps to take next. A decision has now been made, but the discussion is not over yet. Helen catt, Bbc News, westminster. Our chief political correspondent Adam Fleming is in westminster. Adam, the government is facing criticism from the people who are helping us to get through this pandemic. How will they respond . And how can they now afford this . This is the governments response, because at the start of the year, Matt Hancock said the Pm Truce should only be 1 because a lot of The Nhs could afford to stop the new Health Secretary Sajid Javid has decided to be more generous, and it is now in the hands of the Trade Unions who represent The Nhs workers Who Will consult their members, and in theory if they are angry enough, this could eventually end up in strike action, but i think that is probably quite unlikely. And then there are the questions about how this is paid for, and how affordable this is paid for, and how affordable this is for The Nhs, because back in march, when the government was advocating a 1 increase, they published a document which said, if the Pay Bill goes up by a lot for the Pay Bill goes up by a lot for The Nhs, then that might mean you end up having to have a smaller workforce, because you dont have the money to pay for it, and also you will have to take money away from other things. So i think the debate will now move on to the knock on effects for the rest of The Nhs about putting up the Wage Bill. The government is also facing increasing pressure to change the rules over Self Isolation because of severe staff shortages. There has been some toing and froing about this. And were starting to see the real World Effect of so many people being diagnosed with covid now that restrictions have been lifted and it is circulating a lot more in the community. Lots of people getting covid, which means lots of pins on the app of people who have come into contact with them, and we are seeing that reflected in shops. Pings. The newspapers are full of pictures of empty shelves today. It is a was very Hard To work out how empty the shelves are on a nationwide basis, but retailers and the British Retail Consortium saying they are under real pressure because of the number of staff now stuck at home. They are saying the government should exempt their workers from the requirement to isolate, the government is saying no, that exemption is only for a small number of workers in key areas, and we will have to wait until august to 16th for the Isolation Rules to be relaxed for everyone. Adam, thanks very much. We will be talking to the Business Secretary in about 25 minutes about all that. Ministers in Northern Ireland will meet later to decide whether to ease Coronavirus Restrictions next week. The northern Ireland Executive has previously indicated that it hopes to re open theatres and conference venues and relax some of the rules on socialising. Our Correspondent Danjohnson is at stormont for us this morning. Dan, what are we likely to hear today . There have been cautious moves here to relax the covid restrictions, things moving much more slowly than they are in england, but the Executive Due to meet here today to discuss moving to the next stage of perhaps probably from next week, so were talking about more live events, conferences, and music events, conferences, and music events, removing the last of the restrictions on live music and potentially increasing the limits on the number of pupils who can gather in household. It is six at the moment, looks like they are planning to move to something more like ten. We could also see facemasks, the requirement for those to be worn in places of worship, perhaps in classroom to be removed as well, but the Covid Case numbers are quite low here but they have been increasing in the last few weeks. But i think the caution comes about because, although the number of deaths have been very low, averaging just one a day in the last week or so, Vaccination Rates here in Northern Ireland are still lagging behind the rest of the uk. So that is why there is still some caution and why things are moving a bit more slowly, so evenif are moving a bit more slowly, so even if they do approve these relaxations for next week, there will still be some restrictions in place into august and even after that, it could be further into the ultimate before all restrictions are removed across Northern Ireland. Diana, thank you very much. Dan. Tomorrows Opening Ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics has been plunged into further chaos following the dismissal of its Show Director. Kentaro kobayashi is alleged to have made Anti Semiticjokes during a Comedy Routine in 1998. Meanwhile, 12 new Covid Cases have been reported in the olympic village, bringing the total to 87. The chinese government has ordered a review into Flood Safety controls on public transport, after 12 people died when they were trapped in flooded underground railway tunnels. More than 500 people were rescued from tunnels in henan province, which saw a Years Worth of rainfall in just three days. Our China Correspondent Robin brant has the latest. This is what you see in most of the parts of zhengzhou we have been driving around for the last half hour, massive puddles of water, families strolling around, cars stranded in the middle of road, that is the Car Transport people doing the Must Business this morning, and getting them to the garages. But we know that the Death Toll has increased and the rain is spreading north, we have towns and villages over there who are now dealing with very severe amounts of water. The most troubling questions remain about this, the Metro Network here In The City. It is less than ten years old, but it was in one of these lines will be sold in most terrifying stories, 12 people crammed into one carriage lost their lives 24 hour signal. And we dont know exactly why, we dont know why they were left so vulnerable, but we do know at the very top of the national government invasion, they are running other cities and other local governments to immediately look at their preparedness and to look at their preparedness and to look at their preparedness and to look at their regulations when it comes to Metro Networks if the floods and the rains come again.

It led to a season where i played with Head Injuries and feeling nauseous. I played with Head Injuries quite significant impact on me, and i continued regardless, i didnt really think about the long term repercussions, really. A Study Led by imperial College London assessed 41 elite level male Rugby Union and league players and three female. 22 had Brain Abnormalities in the shape of small tears in blood vessels. The study, based on brain scans, also found changes in volume of the so called White Matter, in effect the wiring of the brain. The scans were compared with those of athletes in non collision sports. Organisers say more research is needed to back out if there are any long term effects on players health. The founder of the organisation which conducted the research says it is an important Step Forward. We certainly dont have the full picture yet. What we need to establish is whether these abnormal White Matter Changes Progress and lead eventually to clinical symptoms. We dont know, we really dont know, but theres enough there to raise significant concern about long term brain health. The rugby football union, which governs the sport in england, supported the study and helped recruit players to take part. Officials said they welcomed any research which helps to advance knowledge of Head Injuries. We want to be able to make sure we present the risks and benefits honestly, and commissioning and collaborating research like that is part of that process. In a separate report, Mps have called for the Health And Safety executive to be more involved in Sport And Help establish a national framework for reporting all sports injuries, with the long term aim of passing on details of all events which might lead to brain injury. The digital, culture, media and Sport Committee said it was astounded that sport should be left to mark its own homework. Hugh pym, Bbc News. Prince george is celebrating his eighth birthday today. Kensington palace has released this photograph to mark the occasion. It was taken earlier this month by his mother, the duchess of cambridge. Its 7. 13. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. It is lovely here on the roof of the bbc this morning, The Sun beating down, but today the forecast is another hot and sunny one for most of us. By the time we get to the weekend, you will fine it is going to change, you are looking at some Thundery Downpours. We do have a lot of sunshine in todays forecast. Yesterday, the top temperature was in Northern Ireland in county tyrone, the temperature reached 31. 3 celsius. That provision which is the highest temperature on record for Northern Ireland, but today it could be higher. The Met Office still has two extreme Heat Warnings in force for Northern Ireland and the South West quarter of the uk, and after a cloudy start, The Cloud will push back to the coast where someone window, but most will see some sunshine. Tonight, those showers will tend to fade, we will see a return to the client coming in towards the north, and it is going towards the north, and it is going to be another warm night as well, difficult night to sleep in those conditions. A lot of sunshine too, but cool along the East Coast because we have an easterly flow, so the heat will be in the west where we have the highest temperatures, and we could see once again tomorrow, 28, 29 possibly 30 in wales tomorrow, but then it breaks down for the weekend across england and wales. Thank you very much, we will see you later, carol. Lets return to our top story now, and the Public Sector Pay Awards which were announced yesterday. Most Nhs Staff in england which were announced yesterday. And wales were offered a 3 Pay Rise. Thats worth around £1,000 to nurses and more than £500 to auxiliary staff like porters and cleaners. But unions say its still effectively a Pay Cut because the cost of living wilL Rise by more. Junior doctors were not included in this review. Theyve been offered a 2 increase, while many other workers will get a pay freeze. That includes teachers and Police Officers, although the lowest in those occupations will get an extra £250. Pat cullen is the Acting General Secretary of the royal College Of Nursing. She joins us now from belfast. Good morning. Your reaction to the 3 Pay Rise festival. The good morning. Your reaction to the 3 Pay Rise festival. 3 Pay Rise festival. The Shambolic Announcement 3 Pay Rise festival. The Shambolic Announcement made 396 Pay Rise festival. The Shambolic Announcement made yesterday 396 Pay Rise festival. The Shambolic Announcement made yesterday as| announcement made yesterday as nothing short of insulting to our Nasa Members going on shift as we speak today. The Disdain And Contempt that our nurses were treated in yesterday i think it from the 1 of the government thought would be suitable earlier this year. Thought would be suitable earlier this ear. , � , thought would be suitable earlier this ear. , � , this year. It is, but lets distill this year. It is, but lets distill this down this year. It is, but lets distill this down. Its this year. It is, but lets distill this down. Its £20 this year. It is, but lets distill this down. Its £20 and this year. It is, but lets distill this down. Its £20 and just i this year. It is, but lets distill. This down. Its £20 and just short of £20 per week into a nices pay packet. But it is not all about pay. If we dont address pay and we dont actually do something to encourage our nurses from draining out of the Health Service, with a 50,000 nurses missing today from our Health Service, and every other day, and when we do not have the nurses to look after patients, if we were going to make any stab at trying to get back into the Health Service, and stop the wonderfulness as we have from leading Health Service, we ought to pay them a little more than just a cup of coffee every day. Nurses are getting a Pay Rise, other staff such asjunior nurses are getting a Pay Rise, other staff such as junior doctors, Police Officers, teachers, they are not receiving Pay Rises. Does that offer any comfort in the sense that it was nurses are being offered 3 . 140. Nurses are being offered 396 . No, it doesnt. This nurses are being offered 396 . No, it doesnt, this isnt nurses are being offered 396 . No, it doesnt, this isnt about nurses are being offered 396 . No, it doesnt, this isnt about pitching doesnt, this isnt about pitching nurses against teachers or Police Officers, all of those nurses kept the Health Service and every other service going throughout the pandemic, and long before it. So it is not about one against the other, but if we dont have health, we dont have wealth. If we do not have nurses, you do not have a Health Service, and you cannot provide good Quality Care for patients, it is not about putting money into a nices pocket, it is as simple as that, and we must address the Patient Safety issues within our workplace, and to do that you must address pay. As you are aware, do that you must address pay. As you are aware. The do that you must address pay. As you are aware, the government do that you must address pay. As you are aware, the government is are aware, the government is balancing a lot of Spending Demands and funding demands with a coal nationally and of course of The Nhs to increase pay. A call. How much more do expect the government to be able to afford . I think it has been estimated that for every 1 of a Pay Increase, it can cost around £370 million, between 370 and £500 Million, between 370 and £500 Million a year to the treasury. Those are the challenging Decisions that government have to make. In the same way, every nurse on Shift Today is making very challenging Decisions to make sure that their patients are being cared for in the most effective and safe way. That is what they are there to do. But as i go back and say, nurses run the Health Service, as do other Health Care Staff. You do not have health if you do not have nurses in the Health Service to run it. But our nurses have made it very clear that they require 12. 5 , they need that to bring their pay back to where it was a decade ago. It is not actually looking for a massive Pay Rise, that is what they need to bring their Pay Backin is what they need to bring their pay back in line with inflation and with where they were a decade ago. But what we will do now is put to the offer to our nurses, and we will consult with them next week, and they will decide what they will do nextin they will decide what they will do next in relation to this. Because lets be very clear about this, if you are disrespectful towards nurses, yourejust you are disrespectful towards nurses, youre just respectful towards patients. It is as simple as that. ,. ,. , towards patients. It is as simple as that. ,. ,. ,. , that. You brought up a couple of thins that. You brought up a couple of things there that. You brought up a couple of things there. Firstly, that. You brought up a couple of things there. Firstly, let that. You brought up a couple of things there. Firstly, let me that. You brought up a couple of| things there. Firstly, let me ask, yOu Say you are consulting on one action the nurses will take next, but youre also sending professional not take this lying down what action the nurses will take next. You are also seeing the profession will not take this lying down. Should we expect Industrial Action . The nurses will decide next week, but as a professional trade union, we will work alongside them in their decision making. Nurses will do the best thing for patients. They will make sure, whatever action they take, that their patients do not sufferjust as nurses did when the took action in the Northern Ireland two years ago. They will make measured and considered Decisions and we will work with them to make those Decisions. You and we will work with them to make those Decisions. Those Decisions. You have made it clear that nhs those Decisions. You have made it clear that Nhs Staffs those Decisions. You have made it clear that Nhs Staffs intent those Decisions. You have made it clear that Nhs Staffs intent is those Decisions. You have made it clear that Nhs Staffs intent is to i clear that Nhs Staffs intent is to care for patients safely and effectively. If this 3 Pay Rise is all that you get, is the final offer and to the conclusion of any action, is patient Care And Safety going to be compromised . Is patient Care And Safety going to be compromised . Patient Care And Atient be compromised . Patient care and Patient Safety be compromised . Patient care and Patient Safety has be compromised . Patient care and Patient Safety has been be compromised . Patient care and i Patient Safety has been compromised as we speak. You cannot have the best effect of quality Patient Care with 50,000 nurses missing from your Health Service every day, and when you think about it the same across our independent sector, our Care Homes and elsewhere, so nurses are doing their very best every single day to hold the Health Service together, to look after their patients, and to make sure the patients are cared for in the best possible way, but in order to address that, to make sure we have a Health Service moving forward, we need to address pay, and we need to address the vacancies we have got within our Health Care service.

Pad cullen commented on General Secretary for the royal College Of Nursing, thank you very much this morning for your time. Morning foryourtime. Pat cullen. Weve been talking a lot recently about the difficulties facing employers as the number of staff getting pinged by nhs Test And Trace continues to rise. Now the British Retail Consortium is calling on the government to make fully vaccinated Shop Workers exempt from Self Isolation rules, to ease the pressure on keeping Supermarket Shelves fully stocked. We can speak now to the Chief Executive of the British Retail Consortium, helen dickinson. What is the situation you are seeing in regard to products on shelves . What we are seeing is limits on the availability of certain items in certain parts of the country, because Retail Operations are being impacted by an increasing number of staff needing to self isolate, so absence rates are rising, and i think we most worrying thing, certainly when i talk to people, they are running these Businesses, is notjust when we are at the moment, but they are looking forward over the coming hours and days, and the rules around Self Isolation are not due to change until the 16th Of August, and that right now feels a long time away, given the rises we are seeing in case numbers. What long time away, given the rises we are seeing in case numbers. What i would like you are seeing in case numbers. What i would like you to are seeing in case numbers. What i would like you to do, are seeing in case numbers. What i would like you to do, helen, are seeing in case numbers. What i i would like you to do, helen, because we have been showing one or two images, these are pictures taken by individuals in individual shops showing empty shelves. Now, that in itself is not evidence that there is a widespread problem, and we have to be very careful around the picture we are present in, but you just said a moment ago within the next hours or days, there are going to be real problems. Can you tell me which companies, which products you are talking about . Because otherwise theres danger that that is a general kind of scaremongering. I just wonder if you can break this down for me. Just wonder if you can break this down for Me Down for me. Well, i think it is isolated into down for me. Well, i think it is isolated into certain down for me. Well, i think it is isolated into certain parts down for me. Well, i think it is isolated into certain parts of. Down for me. Well, i think it is i isolated into certain parts of the country. Each business will be doing with it differently, each business will be geographically spread differently, and i think the most important thing is that people do not panic, theres no need to panic because Theres Plenty of food in the country. We heard from Richard Walker who runs iceland speaking over the last few days about needing to reduce hours on some of its store portfolio, and actually in the worst case to Close Stores, there will be many smaller Businesses where they only had one or two staff, and they need to self isolate, then that is them needing to close their doors completely. So what i can say is that everybody i am talking to is suing absence rates higher than they would normally expect, they are already taking mitigating actions including changing shifts, reducing hours, and in some cases, needing to Close Stores. 50. Hours, and in some cases, needing to Close Stores Close Stores. So, can be absolutely clear, Close Stores. So, can be absolutely clear. Helen . Close stores. So, can be absolutely clear, helen . You Close Stores. So, can be absolutely clear, helen . You speak Close Stores. So, can be absolutely clear, helen . You speak for Close Stores. So, can be absolutely clear, helen . You speak for the i clear, helen . You speakfor the British Retail Consortium. If the government does not change the rules around when you to self isolate, and the groups of people who are required to do that, if they dont change that between now and the middle of august when the rules change, what the stores . How do you see that going . The stores . How do you see that auoin . ~. The stores . How do you see that oiiin . , ,. , the stores . How do you see that oiiin . ~. , ,. , going . What i see is that us as members going . What i see is that us as members of the going . What i see is that us as members of the public going . What i see is that us as members of the public will get i members of the public will get access to less choice, and less availability, across what we would normally buy, whether that is in your local convenience store, your local supermarket, online, across food or across our non food products. So it is all about the amount of choice we would have and access to it, so it will take longer for deliveries to be made, and it will mean that some of the local shops to where we live might either be open for less time or in some cases need to close. {lilia be open for less time or in some cases need to close. Be open for less time or in some cases need to close. Ok, so track is back for us. Cases need to close. Ok, so track is back for us, helen, cases need to close. Ok, so track is back for us, helen, if cases need to close. Ok, so track is back for us, helen, if you cases need to close. Ok, so track is back for us, helen, if you would. I cases need to close. Ok, so track is| back for us, helen, if you would. We are speaking to a Government Minister shortly. Wherein lies the answer . Which groups of people . Because if you look at the food chain, you would be presumably if youre talking about those not required to self isolate having a different system, are you suggesting those involved in food production, the transportation, the supermarket workers, are yOu Saying all of those groups should now be subject to a different system . Because if they are not all, than any one of those groups, the same problem could occur again. It could, and i problem could occur again. It could, and i would problem could occur again. It could, and i would be very problem could occur again. It could, and i would be very interested problem could occur again. It could, and i would be very interested to i and i would be very interested to hear what the minister you will be speaking to. Hear what the minister you will be speaking to speaking to. What would you like to happen . Speaking to. What would you like to happen . Well. Speaking to. What would you like to happen . Well, what i would i speaking to. What would you like i to happen . Well, what i would like to happen . Well, what i would like to ha en to happen . Well, what i would like to happen is to happen . Well, what i would like to happen is firstly for to happen is firstly for the government to really ensure that they are listening to notjust for they are listening to notjust for the retailer is sane, but other, if you talk to the distribution companies, the transport companies, we have had trains being cancelled, the airline operators, all of these Businesses are seeing exactly the same, so i think the most important thing for the government to do is to recognise that the current situation is untenable. They have got the professors, the data, the. Helen, let me condense professors, the data, the. Helen, let me condense the let me condense the question, apologies for interrupting. I can guarantee you when we speak to the minister, the minister will say that they are listening. What im asking for you is, what do you want them to do . ~. ,. ,. , do . Well, the most important thing that they need do . Well, the most important thing that they need to do . Well, the most important thing that they need to do do . Well, the most important thing that they need to do is do . Well, the most important thing that they need to do is ensure do . Well, the most important thing that they need to do is ensure thatl that they need to do is ensure that we all continue to have access to the things that are critical to us. So that would really focus in on the critical parts of the economy, whether that is Transport Or Energy orfood whether that is Transport Or Energy or food supply, whether that is Transport Or Energy orfood supply, and whether that is Transport Or Energy or food supply, and that is where they should start. They should start. Special rules around selfisolation they should start. Special rules around selfisolation for they should start. Special rules| around selfisolation for groups they should start. Special rules i around selfisolation for groups in around Self Isolation for groups in those categories, is that what youre saying . Those categories, is that what youre saying . Potentially, but aain i youre saying . Potentially, but again i come youre saying . Potentially, but again i come back youre saying . Potentially, but again i come back to youre saying . Potentially, but again i come back to my youre saying . Potentially, buti again i come back to my point, youre saying . Potentially, but again i come back to my point, the whole situation is. Its notjust this, but they need to look at the system we have in place at the moment. It is not tenable, notjust across those critical supplies, but across those critical supplies, but across the whole of the economy, to be ongoing at the of sort of rate of change between now and the 16th Of August. So either those rules need to change, or Something Else in the wall of defences against the virus needs to be considered. And the government is the one that has all the data and the access to the data to decide which levers to pull, but i want to be visually clear that the destruction we are already seeing will only get worse unless something is done. I want to be really clear that the disruption we are already seeing. If i clear that the disruption we are already seeing. Clear that the disruption we are already seeing. If i say, ditch the. |ni , already seeing. If i say, ditch the ping. Would already seeing. If i say, ditch the ping. Would you already seeing.

If i say, ditch the i ping, would you agree with that . No, i am not ping, would you agree with that . Ier. I am not saying that, but maybe double vaccinated people should not need to self isolate, maybe that date of the 16th Of August should be moved much closer to now.

We� ve been talking this morning about the Public Sector Pay Awards, after nhs workers in england were offered a 3 percent Pay Rise. Before we speak to Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng, let� s hearfrom one nurse carmen who attended a protest outside parliament yesterday. My my name is carmen, and i am a cardiac nurse. This has been a tough yearfor all cardiac nurse. This has been a tough year for all of cardiac nurse. This has been a tough yearfor all of us, she can imagine. But what has shocked me on top of all of this is how the government has treated us, and the way they have acted like they were on our side when, really and truly, they have been nowhere to be seen. The Pay Rises important for several reasons, but for me personally, what it would mean, is a pay that is in line with the value of this job. It is a pay that would attract new nurses into the profession and, down the line, what it would mean for me is to have sufficient amount of colleagues to do myjob properly, to care for the people that we are caring for with the adequate numbers. Which, at the moment, is not happening, and i cannot imagine what will happen in the years to come when we are into the tens of thousands of nursing vacancies even more and we have no way of attracting people into thisjob. Let� s speak now to the Business Secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng who joins us from westminster. Thank you forjoining us, and i hope you are hearing what that nurse was saying. I wonder if you could tell me if you have spoken to any nhs workers who are grateful and pleased with the 3 Pay Award. Workers who are grateful and pleased with the 396 Pay Award. With the 396 Pay Award. Look, its a very difficult with the 396 Pay Award. Look, its a very difficult time with the 396 Pay Award. Look, its a very difficult time and with the 396 Pay Award. Look, its a very difficult time and i with the 396 Pay Award. Look, its a very difficult time and i fully very difficult time and i fully acknowledge the incredible work that nhs workers have put in in the last 18 months. You will remember a few months ago the suggestion was that it was a 1 increase and there was a lot of concern, even outrage about that and what we did is we went to an independent Pay Review and it was the independent Pay Review that came up the independent Pay Review that came up with the figure of 3 which we have agreed to. People might think 3 is not a huge uplift but the unions are saying 12 , which is enormous, and given the fact that we spent hundreds of billions of pounds protecting jobs through the furlough scheme, we spent hundreds of billions of pounds through loans to Businesses, we are in a difficult position as far as public finances are concerned and the 3 figure agreed to by the independent panel is something we think is fair. What is something we think is fair. What chanied in is something we think is fair. What changed in terms is something we think is fair. What changed in terms of is something we think is fair. What changed in terms of affordability . When the government suggested 1 it was because you couldn� t afford any more. Where has the money come from to now afford 3 after you have agreed to the independent Pay Review . ,. , ,. ,. , review . You will appreciate it was a very difficult review . You will appreciate it was a very difficult Winter Review . You will appreciate it was a very difficult winter and very difficult winter and a difficult time for the public finances. When the 1 was suggested we said it would be going to an independent review and we would see what the review came up with and they came up with 3 . Mr; what the review came up with and they came up with 396. What the review came up with and they came up with 396. My point is that at the time they came up with 396.

My point is that at the time of 196 is what we i that at the time of 1 is what we were told is all the government could afford, and now it can afford 3 . That is what we were told by the Health Minister, that that was what is affordable. Health minister, that that was what is affordable is affordable. What we said is that this is what is affordable.

What we said is that this is what we would revert to an i this is what we would revert to an independent Pay Review and now the independent Pay Review and now the independent Pay Review has come back with 3 . The economy is actually doing better than we anticipated, certainly from four months ago, and we think we can afford the 3 . Hoop we think we can afford the 396.

As ive said i in these questions, we are going to decide about the 16th Of August the week before and that is what happened with various dates in the Road Map, the 12th Of April and 17th of may, and various others, we decided a week before and i cannot guarantee that three weeks before before the head of the date.

What she said was that one of the suggestions was to bring forward those who are exempt from having to isolate for ten days if they are double vaccinated, or put them on the Test And Release pilot. Why has that not been done yet if we are seeing Pictures Like this and concerns being raised . The concerns are legitimate concerns being raised . The concerns are legitimate and concerns being raised . The concerns are legitimate and i have concerns being raised . The concerns are legitimate and i have seen concerns being raised . The concerns are legitimate and i have seen the i are legitimate and i have seen the pictures as well. It� s not a universal picture. I think people can shop, and we are obviously reviewing the situation we cannot get into a position where we are changing the rules of every week, and the rules are clear and if you are pinged, you should self isolate. But there is flexibility offered, and there are Test And Release schemes and there are Pilot Schemes and we were told on Sunday Morning that the prime Minister And Chancellor were going to be on a Pilot Scheme so they wouldn� t have to isolate for ten days and that changed a couple of hours later. So it is flexible. You are the Business Minister, so why can� t you push or enact this flexibility so Businesses don� t, as the British Retail Consortium said, that critical supplies are going to be affected and within hours and days we might feel the effects of this simply in the first stage in the supermarkets. The rules are clear. We are reviewing the situation all the time. We are seeing, in real time, what the effects of these policies are but so far they have not changed.

We are going to have guidance about the categories of exempt workers, particularly in relation to critical infrastructure and things like nuclear Power Stations and general Power Stations which effectively keep the lights on.

After a long wait, there� s now only 24 hours to go until the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games, but the occasion has been overshadowed by the dismissal of the ceremony� s Creative Director. It follows complaints that Kentaro Kobayashi made anti semitic comments during his career as a comedian. Our Sports Correspondent Natalie pirks is in tokyo . Natalie, what does this mean for tomorrow� s event . I have to say. It� s wonderful to see you there in that amazing backdrop of tokyo itself and clearly this is a City And Nation that has dealt with all sorts of issues and even controversial ones in the Run Up to the games, covid related but we have something emerging that is a different problem just before the Opening Ceremony. There is a lot of apathy from the locals and when you look around, apart from the big rings and the bay behind me, not much evidence of the games is happening and that� s how little the public seem to want it that the organising committee, Kentaro Kobayashi, this footage emerged of him in the 19905 as a comedian appearing to make anti Semiticjokes Comedian appearing to make anti semitic jokes about the holocaust. He has obviously gone and now the committee says it is going to review what happens in the olympic ceremony. The problem for them is it� s going to look very, very different from the ceremonies of the past. No spectators, of course, and 15 dignitaries coming from around the world, but it will also look a little bit similar. We will have flag bearers from the parade of nations, and it will be smaller than in the past, and for the athletes here, this really is the athletes here, this really is the pinnacle and one of them is fraser clark, and my goodness, has he got a story. We mi55ed fraser clark, and my goodness, has he got a story. We missed out in 2012, then 2016 then survived a Night Club stabbing and saw the London Terror attacks but after winning gold for england in the commonwealth games in 2018 with his children watching at home, he is hoping to bring home a medalfor them. 2012, obviously, we had london. I was beaten to the mark by anthonyjoshua, a fantastic fighter who went on to win the Gold Medal and win amazing things. We� ve had four more years, and thenjoejoyce comes along, another great fighter, he gets a Silver Medal for the country and then i had a big decision to make, do i stay anotherfour years . It� s my Passion And Something really close in my heart so i couldn� t look back and regret that i didn� t want to regret the rest of my life to not give myself every chance to come here, and now i� m here i� m so glad i made that decision because it� s been everything i dreamt of and so much more already and that� s without even repeating it. Was there a moment where you thought this could all be over because of the pandemic . I almost took it personally. It was destined to happen, the year i was going to be olympics, it was going to be cancelled, because that� s been my look over the last decade. For some people who don� t know your story, tell us what happened to you and how it changes your outlook on everything. I was stabbed three times on a night out. I� m not an angel, but i didn� t deserve to be stabbed. That could have stopped me from seeing my daughter grow up. Year later, you find yourself caught up in Something Else In London. What happened there . We had a bit of a Press Day at the houses of parliament, me and the team, we had been in there, great day, we are feeling good and it was the unfortunate situation of the Terror Attack on the bridge where a lot of people lost their life and then we see the unfortunate pc, keith palmer, he lost his life that day and that was right in front of us. Some of the things i have seen and witnessed, they are really not nice. But it has made my character a lot stronger, and that definitely helps me in the ring again some of these unbelievable opponents i will have to face in the next couple of weeks. You mentioned aj early and we saw what happened in 2012 on what he has gone on to achieve. Is that added impetus for you to see what you could become . Any boxer in the world wouldn� T Mind taking the same Career Path as anthonyjoshua. The coaches are fantastic. They are brilliant, listening to them telling you advice, but when it somebody who has been there and done it and took the blows and dished out the blows, it� s that bit more real. This is my last shot, there is no doubt about it. My daughter being born, she is for now, that was a pivotal point in my career. Something clicked and changed and it became more than a hobby, it became this is the best opportunity for me to provide the kind of life that i want her to live. I have an eight week old son, trent, and that is not my only drive to get a medal, but it is a huge driver of mine, to take it back to them kids, and they won� t understand what it means now, but one day, for them to say your daddy was olympic champion, it means the world. Its it� s incredibly hot and humid in japan today. I know it� s hot back home but it� s about 33 degrees and it feels like closer to 40. The humidity is high and that will be a problem for athletes and we have the consistently rising Covid Cases here injapan, not consistently rising Covid Cases here in japan, not what we consistently rising Covid Cases here injapan, not what we are seeing back home but enough to cause panic in the athletes� village and we are up in the athletes� village and we are up to about 91 cases amongst all the accredited officials including journalists and coaches coming in, and like i said earlier, there is a lot of apathy from the japanese. Two thirds of the publicjust do not want the games here. I mentioned the flag bearers, and for britain, the show goes on, but at the moment we need some more sports to join Softball And Football because at the moment it feels like it is limping and we need this to be the Sporting Tonic that we all need and want. Natalie, thank you very much. The Opening Ceremony taking place tomorrow. It was hot where natalie was and of course it is hot here. Carol is up on the roof. A bit of a cooling breeze on the top of Broadcasting House but i imagine it� s already heating up and you are feeling it now. It its already heating up and you are feeling it now. Feeling it now. It is. The temperature feeling it now. It is. The temperature is 90 feeling it now. It is. The. Temperature is 90 degrees and heading to 20 in some parts. Whiteley temperatures are between 15 and 18 degrees and the highest temperatures are in the South West with Cardiff And Newquay and the Channel Islands or already at 21 celsius. The forecast for the next couple of days is one of heat for much of the uk until we get to the weekend. The weekend temperatures will return to normal and we are going to have some thunderstorms which could lead to localised flooding. We still have some amber extreme Heat Warnings in force and as we go through today it� s going to be another hot day, starting with a fair bit of cloud in the North East on most of it will burn back to the coast and some of it will linger, one or two showers knocking around, but temperatures could get up to 31 or as we go through the evening and overnight many of the showers will fade and there will be cloud coming in from the North Sea across the North And East and it will be another warm night, so another one uncomfortable for sleeping in. Tomorrow The Cloud we have pushes back towards the east that there will be more in england than we have been used to for the last few days and we will have an easterly flow from the North Sea but a lot of dry weather and the Warmth Tomorrow will push to the west and temperatures won� t be as high in the east as they have been and for the weekend, for england and wales, we see a return to rain and showers, some of which could be torrential and thundery with a lot of Lightning Strikes and that might well lead to localised flooding issues.

Cloud currently pushing back to the coastline, some of which will linger, top temperatures could get into the low 30s. All the details later in the programme. Good morning. Its thursday the 22nd ofjuly. Our top story in the last half an hour, the Business Secretary has confirmed on this programme that the government is drawing up a list of sectors that will be exempt from Self Isolation rules. It comes as the number of employees getting pinged by The Nhs Test And Trace app continues to rise, causing staff shortages across vital services. Lets get more on this with our chief political correspondent Adam Fleming. Adam, what are the government considering . The reason we are discussing this is because there are so many people who have been diagnosed with covid that lots of people are being pinged as their contacts, and are having to isolate, and so on Social Media and in the newspapers, you will see pictures of empty shelves in supermarkets. Always Hard To tell just how empty the shelves are nationwide, whether other factors like the weather are contributing to that, but the Factors Pressure because so many of their staff are off sick. So the government says that some critical workers in some sectors will not have to isolate if they get contacted as contacts of positive cases. The Business Secretary, classic are tensing that the list of sectors covered by the exemption will be very short. We sectors covered by the exemption will be very short. Sectors covered by the exemption will be very short. We are going to have guidance will be very short. We are going to have guidance about will be very short. We are going to have guidance about the will be very short. We are going to l have guidance about the categories of exemption, general Power Stations which effectively keep the light on and so on. I think the list will be very narrow, because we do not want to get into a huge debate about who is exempt and who isnt. find to get into a huge debate about who is exempt and who isnt.

And we also spoke of course about this 3 Pay Spoke of course about this 3 Pay Rise for nurses that has been agreed upon, or been offered, it has not been agreed by The Nhs but it has been agreed by The Nhs but it has been offered by the government, moving up from the i it had recommended earlier this year. At the start of the year, Matt Hancock said the government could only afford a i Pay Increase for lots of nhs workers in england, it then went to an independent Pay Review Body who recommended 3 instead, Yesterday Sajid javid the new Health Secretary accepted that. SuPer Centres of course more than 1 , but it Super Centres of course more than i , but it is not the 12. 5 of the royal College Of Nursing was asking for. 3 is of course more than i . They will be speaking to their members, and their boss Pat Cullen explained what they would be speaking to them about. 5 a speaking to them about. As a professional speaking to them about. As a professional trade speaking to them about. As a professional trade union, speaking to them about. Is professional trade union, we will work alongside the nurses in their decision making, because nurses will do the best thing for patients. Whatever action they take, they will make sure their patients do not suffer as a consequence, same as they did in Northern Ireland two years ago when they took Industrial Action. They will do the same if they need to and any of the other countries. But they will not do it on a whim, they will make measured and considered Decisions, and we will work with them to make those Decisions. ,.

And of course, lots of other workers in the Public Sector are having their pay frozen, so a bit of a division between Public Sector workers and nhs workers. Adam, thanks very much stop see you later. Ministers in Northern Ireland will meet later to decide whether to ease Coronavirus Restrictions next week. The northern Ireland Executive has previously indicated that it hopes to re open theatres and conference venues and relax some of the rules on socialising. 0ur Correspondent Danjohnson is at stormont for us this morning. Dan, what are we likely to hear today . Good morning. Case numbers have been rising in the last few weeks, although the numbers are still relatively low. The death numbers are very low, but Vaccination Rates in Northern Ireland have lagged behind the rest of the uk a bit. In Northern Ireland have lagged behind the rest of the uk a hit. 50 thatis behind the rest of the uk a hit. 50 that is perhaps why there is more caution on the steps that are being considered here in Northern Ireland, so even if they do agree to further relaxation next week, it will not mean the complete removal of all restrictions, but we are talking about live events, conferences and resuming, the last of the restrictions being removed on the volume of live music, we are talking about an increase in the limits on household gatherings from six people perhaps up to ten. We are also looking at the requirement for facemasks being removed in places of worship and perhaps in classrooms. But even if they sexually, there will still be some restrictions in place into august, and it may be further into the autumn before restrictions are completely removed across Northern Ireland. Dan, thank you. The chinese government has ordered a review into Flood Safety controls on public transport, after 12 people died when they were trapped in flooded underground railway tunnels. More than 500 people were rescued from tunnels in henan province, which saw a Years Worth of rainfall in just three days. 0ur China Correspondent Robin brant has the latest. 0n the face of it, this looks like a good day for the people here in zhengzhou. The rain seems to have stopped in the City Centre but we have coMe Down to the junction to give you an idea of what is happening now. This is what you see in most of the parts of zhengzhou weve been driving around for the last hour, massive puddles of water, families strolling around, cars stranded in the middle of road, that is the Car Transport people doing the Must Business this morning, and getting them to the garages. But we know that the Death Toll has increased and the rain is spreading north, we have towns and villages over there who are now dealing with very severe amounts of water. The most troubling questions remain about this, the Metro Network here In The City. It is less than ten years old, but it was on one of these lines where we saw the most terrifying stories, 12 people crammed into one carriage lost their lives 24 hour signal. 24 hours ago. And we dont know exactly why, we dont know why they were left so vulnerable, but we do know at the very top of the national government, they are running other cities and other local governments to immediately look at their preparedness and to look at their regulations when it comes to Metro Networks if the floods and the rains come again.

A return to some wet weather, some thunderstorms that might lead to some localised flooding. Some amber extreme Heat Warnings in force, for Northern Ireland running out at Midnight Tomorrow, and for england in the south West Corner of wales, that runs out Midnight Tonight. A lot of dry and sunny weather, we could see temperatures get up into the low 30s Today across Northern Ireland and wales. We are keeping a close eye on that. Most temperatures the mid to high 20s. Any showers that form during the day will tend to fade, a return to cloud coming in from the North Sea and the North And East, and it will be warm. That is how it starts tomorrow, The Cloud pushing back through the day towards the coast, but more cloud in england and we have been used to, also a bit breezy, coming in from the North Sea. Tomorrows highest temperatures once again in western areas, a little bit lower across the east.

You take away Peoples Control. You take away Peoples Control of their lives, not knowing if they can work, if they are and have a roof over their head, that plays havoc, but an Eating Disorder thrives with that. It is such an intricate and complex illness, and more needs to be done with the understanding especially with the powers that be at government level.

Warm start to the morning with lots of blue Sky And Sunshine throughout the first half of the day and more sunny spells into the afternoon and there will be fairWeather Cloud developing and the small chance of one or two isolated showers breaking out but for the majority of us it will be completely dry and temperatures peaking in the middle or high 20s and perhaps a degree or so down on where we have been, and there is more of an easterly breeze going on so with the breeze towards Eastern Coastal Areas of kent, you will feel cooler here.

In the last half an hour, weve heard that australia and new zealand have pulled out of the rugby League World Cup, due to be held in england in october. Mikes here with more. For people not aware, this is a big event to be held in england and this is in october. Australia and new zealand are huge teams in Rugby League.

What is more, one of the reasons that greg peters from new zealand, the Chief Executive said, he cited stark differences between the management of the pandemic in the uk and australia and new zealand insisting it was too unsafe for the teams to take part in the tournament and also citing the way the situation is changing drastically at the moment. Weve heard from drastically at the moment. Weve heard from the drastically at the moment. Weve heard from the new drastically at the moment. Weve heard from the new zealand drastically at the moment. Weve i heard from the new zealand prime minister whos been critical in the last week or so about the handling of the pandemic and i imagine throughout the day we will get response. Aqua and John Dutton has to see if he will stand by the Contingency Plan to bring other nations into it so the show can go on. The long Term Failure to reduce the risk of Brain Injuries in sport needs to be addressed by the government according to a report by the digital, culture, media and Sport Committee. It comes as a separate study found that participation in professional adult rugby may be associated with changes in brain structure. Lets speak now to dawn astle, Whos Dad jeff, a former England Striker died 20 years ago after developing dementia. Good morning to you. This is a story you and yourfamily good morning to you. This is a story you and your family know only too well and i wonder, give me your reaction to some of what you are hearing about the research being done on the recommendations . Good mornint , done on the recommendations . Good morning, charlie. Done on the recommendations . Good morning, charlie. We done on the recommendations . limp. Morning, charlie. We are very grateful to the committee for highlighting a woeful lack of recording and incidences of traumatic Brain Injuries in the professional game and there have been lots of sensible recommendations for better Concussion Management in sport and Concussion Management in Sport And Concussion research but what we need really is for the recommendations to be actioned and that is the main thing. The issue of dementia in football grew from a flickering ember to a raging inferno and i knew that would happen. As unsettling as it was for the sporting authorities, this was the reality. There were players dying and nobody gave a damn audit enough and theyve rightly been criticised so to read this report, as i did yesterday, finally, after too many frustrating, upsetting years, to finally give me and my Family Hope that change will come, because no longer with the governing bodies the left, i think the committee said, to mark their own homework. The committee said, to mark their own homework. Dawn, good morning to ou, ouve own homework. Dawn, good morning to you. Youve made own homework. Dawn, good morning to you. Youve made it own homework. Dawn, good morning to you, youve made it clear own homework. Dawn, good morning to you, youve made it clear before you, youve made it clear before that sport has always been treated differently in terms of it is a job and your dad did a job, he may have loved it and been brilliant at it that he was going to work on the same protections have perhaps not been afforded to sportspeople to athletes then if it was someone who went into an Office Or Factory or a building to work. Went into an Office Or Factory or a building to work. That is absolutely ri. Ht. Building to work. That is absolutely right. Football building to work. That is absolutely right. Football is building to work. That is absolutely right. Football is a building to work. That is absolutely right. Football is a much building to work. That is absolutely right. Football is a much loved right. Football is a much loved sport for millions of people around the world, me included, but for my dad and other professionals it was just theirjob and they should be afforded the same protection from the known risks as anybody else in anyjob the known risks as anybody else in any job and the known risks as anybody else in anyjob and that could be put right immediately and its applicable to all football related Head Injuries and by definitely declaring dimension in football as an industrial disease. I think the Health And Safety executive has mentioned in reply to this report about there being risk versus reward as some Sort Ofjustification that less application of the law is applied to sport because of that and you could argue that people have to make a living and this improves their Mental Health and it improves their Mental Health and it improves their mood when they meet people in their mood when they meet people in the workplace and there are beneficial rewards for normal work but that doesnt mean that there shouldnt be a different legal standards apply to sportspeople. That is just so inconsistent but it can be changed immediately. It that isjust so inconsistent but it can be changed immediately. It does feel like the can be changed immediately. It does feel like the steps can be changed immediately. It does feel like the steps are can be changed immediately. It does feel like the steps are very feel like the steps are very slow and i know you get satisfaction from things changing a bit. Where do you look for sports that seem to have reacted more quickly . Some people point to american football, to look at one sport that seems to have adapted and actively done things. Definitely. America and the nfl are ten or 15 years in front of us and the problem being that sporting authorities want to protect the product of the sport. That is what they are there to do and what they should be doing is protecting its players. The athletes. It has taken me and my family and an army of West Brom supporters who dragged a 30 Foot Banner about my dad to all of the football games and held 27,000 leaflets for my dad to get the footballing authorities to sit up and take note and listen and if it wasnt for them we would not be where we are now. But that shows us a really important point that it is a really important point that it is a lesson to us all that the power that ordinary people can still wield evenin that ordinary people can still wield even in the face of extraordinary odds and if i were to thank everybody who has helped us, especially the West Bromwich albion supporters, every day of my life for the rest of my life, it wouldnt be enough and we wouldnt be where we are without them. Are without them. Dawn, thank you for talkint are without them. Dawn, thank you for talking to are without them. Dawn, thank you for talking to us are without them.

Surely we shall talk to carol and we have put her on the roof of the new Broadcasting House, because it is hot out there but victoria is on a farm in a polytunnel and can you imagine how hot it is, regardless of how gorgeous the fruit being picked is . You are right. It is pretty hot and at half past eight or so its already 21 degrees outside and another 5 degrees under this, even though this is all open. These are closed polytunnel is for the younger fruit and these ones are properly twice as hot again. It set to be another scorcher, another 30 degrees orso another scorcher, another 30 degrees or so and this is a situation replicated across the country on the Met Office has issued severe, extreme Heat Weather warnings for large parts of england and wales and Northern Ireland as well and its in place until tomorrow. What is the problem . The major problems are obvious, Heat Exhaustion, sunburn and the like but it does pose problems for people who work outdoors or on the land and we so often complain we dont get enough sun in the country and how many people working outdoors take their health seriously or whether they spend more time on their animals and crops .

And making the important point that it is hot out there so do try to protect yourself with long sleeves or suncream or a hat. Carol can tell us more. How hot, carol . It could get up to 31 or more than that in parts of Northern Ireland in particular and if it does, provisionally, we had the highest temperature on record in Northern Ireland in reaching 31. 3 and we might see a bit higher than that today. Talking of records, on tuesday in china there was the equivalent of nearly one third of the annual rainfall falling in just one hour and that is the the equivalent of having a bucket on top of your head when its pouring down and we have seen the devastation caused. The forecast for the next couple of days for Today And Tomorrow is a Hot One and also a sunny one for most of us but as we head into the weekend we see a return to thunderstorms and some will be slow moving and it could lead to flooding and temperatures will be back to where they should be and by day and by night the temperatures will be similar to what we have had this week in the Met Office still has to amber extreme Heat Warnings as we have heard. This morning we started with a fair bit of cloud across the North And East and it will push back to the coastline and some of The Sun will linger but a lot of sunshine sparking off showers across parts of the north and west. Temperatures today could getjust above 31 degrees in Northern Ireland, something we are watching closely, 30 degrees in parts of wales and 29 in the south and where we keep The Cloud temperatures will be a bit lower. As we head for the course of the evening and overnight, showers will fade and we will see more cloud coming in across the North And East from the North Sea and it will be another warm one with most of us staying easily in double figures. So for tomorrow, we start with sunshine but all of The Cloud as well and The Cloud again is burning back towards the coast where some of it will stick but there will be more cloud in england than we have been used to and it will still be sunny but we will have an easterly breeze coming in from the North Sea, so the warmth will still be very much in the west and it will feel cooler than it has donein and it will feel cooler than it has done in the east but it will not be cold as you can see from the temperatures. By The End of Friday Rain coming in from the South West and during saturday and sunday that will be moving north across england and wales and especially on sunday, some of that will be heavy and thundery and slow moving and there will be lots of lightning flashes and there is the risk of localised flooding. Temperatures closer to where they should be this weekend in july but as i mentioned, by night, the temperatures will be similar to what we had been seen during the course of the week. So lots going on with the weather. Here is me being nice to two people at the same time, from one Broadcasting Legend to another. Look at carols space. Shall i do it again .

Lets get through some breaking news business, which you i breaking news business, which you know all about, the Rugby League. For those who dont know, the rugby League World Cup due to be held here in england in october. Two teams that are absolutely crucial to the sport have just withdrawn, so take us through what has happened. Australia and new zealand this morning, quite suddenly and as we might say in sport against the run of play, in that all the messaging had been positive to that point on the Chief Executive of the rfl, i am the Chief Executive of the rfl, i am the president but i have no power, just an honorary role, but it is a sport i care hugely about and everything was gearing up to the World Cup, the first time we have had mens, womens and wheelchair welcomes running simultaneously and it was going to be and is still going to be a fantastic opportunity to sell the sport but without australia and new zealand this is catastrophic and the really irritating thing is that both australia and new zealand Rugby Union teams are coming over later this year so what i dont understand is why the Rugby League has decided to withdraw from the biggest tournament that it has stays in Rugby League now when we could wait a couple of months and if they still felt that badly, lets look at it closer to the time but it seems very odd timing and i think there is quite a lot of work going on to repair that situation and find a solution because particularly for the womens game, this is devastating. That wipes out the top two teams and obviously affects the Mens Tournament hugely. They are the big cards and ive seen that sport can still go on without the big draw. The usa pulled out the moscow olympics and rushing to have the same back and these things happen but its not the same. To put the question happen but its not the same. To put the question out happen but its not the same. To put the question out wide, happen but its not the same. To put the question out wide, and happen but its not the same. To put the question out wide, and there happen but its not the same. To put the question out wide, and there is i the question out wide, and there is obvious frustration, it is politics and covid and you will see with the olympics, that weve seen in the last two weeks with the prime minister of new zealand saying, words to the effect that we do not agree with the way in the uk is dealing with a pandemic and also australia, scientists saying they dont agree and it has filtered down in the same way to the olympics. I agree with you and maybe that is why its a bigger card to say we are pulling out of the World Cup than saying the touring teams are still coming. Even the all blacks are coming. Even the all blacks are coming and you think if that is going ahead, i dont understand.
