Wildfires in nortHern California Force thousands into Evacuation Centres while a Covid Outbreak in oregon puts firefighters into quarantine. Its day two of the olympics and the Sporting Action has brought us just the sort of Unpredictability And Excitement only these games Can bring. THere have been some major shocks in the Swimming Pool a World Record was broken and today has brought something of a Gold Rush forjapan� s olympians. Mariko oi has the details. What an exciting evening for teamjapan but in particular for one Family Thejudo Siblings Uta and Hifumi Abe winning double Gold Medals within an hour of each otHer, and now the hashtag the most powerful siblings is trending on social media. Also, earlier in the day, we had Yuto Horigome winning the first ever Gold Medalfor skateboarding. We went out to find out how people made of his achievements. Lets take a listen. Translation | used to do skateboarding and i knew horigome, so congratulations to him for winning the Gold Medal. Especially in this heat. And hopefully this will make the sport more popular. Translation its a proud moment i forjapan, especially given this i is the first Gold Medal for skateboarding at the olympics. Translation i wasnt too excited about the olympics because of all the sCandals, but it does make me happy to see Goodj Performance of japanese athletes. So Team Japan now winning the fifth Gold Medal. And now sport minds have practically taken over from all the negative publicity about the sCandals, controversies surrounding the games, which is exactly what the japanese government and the Organising Committee had been hoping for. Meanwhile, its been very interesting to see all the medallists being given that Victory Bouquet made of all the flowers from the three prefectures the hardest hit by the Earthquake And Tsunami of 2011, including the town of namie, which had to be evacuated after that nuclear accident because it was only likm away from the power plant. Only four years ago, people were allowed to go back to that town, and Flower Farmers have been working, growing those flowers, hoping that they will be used in the tokyo olympics, and not just those athletes achieving their olympic dreams but also a very proud moment for those Flower Farmers. Lets cross to the Bbc Sport Centre and speak to our reporter, austin halewood, who has been watching the action. Can we start with the Womans Road Race . An extraordinary race, and a remarkable woman. It race . An extraordinary race, and a remarkable woman. Remarkable woman. It really was a brilliant race, remarkable woman.

And also some disappointment as well this morning, the two time olympic champion andy murray, just like jones, the Gold Medallist in and tokyo, surrey, rio, he has had to withdraw from the mens singles because of a thigh strain, i think you picked up on his mens doubles Win Yesterday but he will compete in the Minds Doubles and will carry on in that competition but has been advised not to do both so he has pulled out of the singles but we will still see murray in the double is a bit later on In Tokyo. find will still see murray in the double is a bit later on In Tokyo.

Plans to require Football Fans to be fully vaccinated if they want to go to Premier League matches are being considered by the british government. Its understood clubs in englands top flight are keen to become early adopters of proof of vaccination so they Can keep full capacity crowds. Our political correspondent, helen catt, has the story. Football fans have already been part of testing ways to keep big events going when coronavirus is very much still Here. The Fa Cup final at wembley was a pilot event. And this weekend, the government has also turned to football to try to boost uptake of the vaccine among young people with a message from the england manager. I know oldies like me have had both jabs so we Can crack on with our lives. But for you younger ones especially with the chance for everything to open up. Concerns about the number of younger people still unvaccinated are also thought to be a driver behind the idea for Vaccine Passports for events. The government is in talks with the Premier League to use them at matches from october. Ministers want to make things equal between all sports so its likely otHer crowds would have to do the same. Earlier this week, the Prime Minister announced that Vaccine Passports would be needed to go to nightclubs in england from The End of september. I should serve notice now that, by The End of september, when all Over 185 will have had their chance to be double jabbed, were planning to make full vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs and otHer venues wHere large crowds gatHer. OtHer Spectator Events with crowds of over 20,000 people, such as big concerts, are also likely to face similar requirements. Mps and fans groups have already raised concerns. At the start of the pandemic in 2020, questions were raised about the role the Cheltenham Festival may have played in spreading the virus. The government and Sports Bodies are likely to be keen to make sure they Can have full capacity crowds this winter without such worries. Helen catt, Bbc News. Malcolm clarke is the chairman of the Football Supporters association. He told Bbc News that some of the supporters would be reassured by the measure while otHers would not be happy. Well, i think our members are reflective of the wider society, so tHere will be some who feel that this will give them the kind of reassurance they need in order to return safely to games. Equally, tHere will be otHers who are opposed to it in principle and may even decide, as mark said, not to attend games. Our major concern, really, is to ensure that, again as mark said, The Club is put in place sufficient staff to enable this to happen without chaos outside the grounds and very long queues. And i think it would probably need an extra layer of checks ratHer than trying to do it at the turnstiles, and that obviously needs extra resources. And we also want to see both the government and The Clubs consult supporters about how this will operate in practice. Football isnt always terribly good at consulting supporters. But we want to see that at both national and club level. At the moment, it appears just to be the vaccination passports. At the euros recently, and particularly at wembley, you had to show a negative test if you didnt have the double vaccination. Is tHere a way fans could get around this but still get into the stands . Is that open to some kind of neglect . Well, the Passport Proof obviously is open to some abuse because they dont do and didnt do at Wembley Id checks to ensure that the person showing the proof was actually the person it related to, and i wouldnt have thought that was practical at Football League grounds eitHer. But No Doubt the government know this. The Euros Example is probably not the best one because they had to abandon the Covid Test a couple of hours before Kick Off at the final. Admittedly, tHere were a very large number of people tHere. But that does emphasise the need to put the resources in place. And communicate very clearly with fans about exactly what the arrangements at each club are going to be and if they need to be encouraged to come earlier to explain that to them. If you do the proper communication and explanation, then some of these problems im sure Can be avoided. The otHer issue as well is, if a Season Ticket Holder has bought a Season Ticket on the assumption that this isnt in place and doesnt want to take the vaccination for whatever reason, then they should be entitled to a refund and the Football Industry will have to accept that as well. Britains Health Secretary has apologised for a poor choice of word when he said people should no longer cower from coronavirus. Sajid javid made the comment after tweeting hed made a full recovery from the virus. But he faced criticism from labour as well as some medical and familes groups, who said it was insensitive to those whod suffered serious illness or lost their lives. Thousands of people in the Western United States are spending the weekend in Evacuation Centers as wildfires continue to burn across the region. More than 80 large wildfires in 13 states have destroyed around 1. 3 million acres in recent weeks. Our north america correspondent, peter bowes, reports. The dixie wildfire, californias biggest blaze to the north of the state, is growing rapidly. Firefighters are battling Day And Night to try to bring it under control, but its spreading with such ferocity that its making its own weatHer, creating huge clouds that are generating Lightning Strikes across the region. About a fifth of the fires perimeter has been contained, but officials say the extreme nature of the fire, along with low humidity, is hampering efforts to quell the flames. People have been evacuated from their homes in several nearby counties. Smoke from the fire is travelling far and wide and is even reaching the neighbouring state of oregon, wHere its helping firefighters put out the countrys largest blaze, known as the bootleg fire, south of portland. A layer of smoke is blocking sunlight and creating cooler conditions, making it easier forfirefighters to gain ground on the blaze. But the phenomenon, known as smoke shading, is unpredictable and tHere are fears that high temperatures and wind gusts later in the weekend could fan the flames furtHer. Efforts to bring this fire under control have been furtHer complicated by an outbreak of covid 19 among firefighters. Those whove tested positive are isolating and are said to be exhibiting mild symptoms. With a long, hot summer still ahead, these fires will challenge much of the Western United States for many weeks to come. Peter bowes, Bbc News, los angeles. ElsewHere this lunchtime, and mps have described as wholly inadequate the Complaints Process for women in the Armed Forces who are sexually assaulted or harassed at work. The Defence Select Committee found that 60 of female personnel had faced bullying, harassment and discrimination during their careers. The Ministry Of Defence says many improvements have been made but admits Womens Experience Isnt yet equal to mens. Jonathan beale reports. Whats it like being a female soldier, im often asked. This is the armys latest recruitment campaign, aimed at women. Im the one stitching them up im not a miss or a mrs, im a sergeant. It suggests gender is not an issue in todays Armed Forces. But this report by mps paints a very different picture. With women suffering disproportionately from bullying, harassment, discrimination and even Sexual Assault and rape. Six out of ten women in our evidence said that they dont make complaints because of fear of reprisals and repercussions. And what we are finding is that women are subsequently leaving the military before their time. Put some pressure on this for me. Women make up around 12 of the regular Armed Forces. The report highlights practical issues for them, such as not being given uniforms and Body Armour that fit. But mps say theyre gravely concerned that women are ten times more likely than men to experience sexual harassment. Youre asking for it, thats the impression you get, youre not completely blameless in all of this. Sophia, not Her real name, was an officer in the Royal Navy when she was sexually harassed and then assaulted by Her male boss. She left in 2017 after a five Year Career successfully taking Her complaint to a civilian court after she felt let down by Her Chain Of Command. It was such an effort to have anyone hear me. And why do you think they didnt want to hear you . Its a boys club. They closed ranks. They wanted to make sure he was all right. They dont want it happening on their watch. Its bad press for them and it doesnt look good on their reports. Thats definitely the impression i got. The Ministry Of Defence said its made many changes to improve the experience of women in the Armed Forces. It said it profoundly regretted the experience of some. But mps want the Chain Of Command to be removed from complaints of a sexual nature and cases of rape to no longer be tried in a military court. Jonathan beale, Bbc News. Lets get some of the days otHer news. Environment ministers from more than 50 countries are holding a two Day Meeting in britain to prepare for a Climate Summit later this year. Alok sharma, whos the president of the un conference cop26, said the world would be watching the meeting in glasgow in november to see if it Can do what is necessary in a decisive decade. Floods have swamped areas of belgium and washed away cars as a wave of thunderstorms and Heavy Rain hit the country. Two provinces South East of brussels were particularly badly hit. They had already been impacted by the devastating floods that left 36 people dead and seven missing. The ameriCan Comedianjackie Mason has died at the age of 93. He spent his final days in hospital in new york. Mason started as an Amateur Boxer then got ordained as a rabbi before becoming a full time comedian in 1959. He held many one man shows throughout his long career, which culminated in sold out shows On Broadway in the 1980s. He was known to younger audiences because of the simpsons. Now its time for a look at the weatHer. Hello tHere. Temperatures have been nudging down a little bit over recent days and well continue to see that Cooling Trend for the next few days too, so a change in Her-type'>WeatHer Type after the heatwave of last week but this coming Week Cooler conditions and quite unsettled, so more heavy showers, perhaps in thunderstorms around the time but, equally, some sunshine to be enjoyed at times through the week as well. So lets Take A Look at the satellite image. You Can see this zone of cloud Here thats been sitting across parts of central, soutHern and eastern england in particular. Now, that is going to be bringing furtHer heavy showers and thunderstorms through the course of today, particularly across parts of soutHern england, perhaps into South East wales as well, so a risk of some localised Flooding And Disruption to transport if you do catch some of these intense downpours. Thunderstorms and lots of Lightning And Hail mixed in with them as well. But away from South East england, East Anglia and the midlands as well, most otHer places looking drier and settled with some sunshine breaking through today. Not as hot as recent days but still temperatures getting up to about 24 or 25 degrees across parts of scotland and nortHern ireland as well. England and wales typically about 22 or 23 degrees. Some of these heavy downpours in the South East and East Anglia will continue through this evening and overnight as well, so still the Odd Rumble of thunder and, again, some Surface Water Flooding possible. During the second half of the night, most places do become dry as showers ease away and tHerell be quite a lot of low cloud pushing in across parts of scotland, nortHern england and perhaps nortHern ireland as well. Temperatures overnight about 12 16 but into monday and things still unsettled, this area of low pressure just move on its way a little bit furtHer northwards up the north sea, so that means we will have quite a bit of cloud and a few showers for parts of nortHern and eastern scotland, for instance, as well. A little bit of Showery Rain Which will reach the far west later in the day and nortHern ireland as well. But, actually, quite a lot of places having a largely dry day. Just the chance of a few isolated showers for scotland so parts of wales as well later on but one in the south compared to sunday with temperatures around 25 or 26 degrees. And then, moving through into tuesday, low pressure sitting to the north of the uk and then weve got this system Here working in towards the west so weve got more showers in the forecast for the day on tuesday and, in fact, much of the week ahead is looking pretty unsettled. Some places about 10 degrees cooler than they have been during the past week or so. Perhaps some drier weatHer, particularly in the south, towards The End of the week. Bye bye.
