It was the norwegian who went on to win. There was a trio out in front he broke clear. Britain finished second and the New Zealander took bronze.

Here in The Uk, Senior Ministers will decide today, whether to further expand the scheme, allowing fully vaccinated key workers in england to avoid Self Isolation by taking daily covid tests instead. Staff working in the food supply chain, front Line Emergency services, and Transport And Freight are already included and other workers such as Council Refuse collectors could also be added to the list. The department for environment, food and rural affairs says 500 sites have been identified for daily testing, which will be carried out by employers within the workplace.

Feeling the heat at tokyo 2020 well look at how the extreme heat of the japanese summer is affecting the olympics. Tx Breakfiller this is Bbc News. Our main story this hour. Adam peaty has won britains first Gold Medal of the Tokyo Olympics, and successfully defended his 100 Metres Breaststroke title. Extreme weather is being recorded Around The World, from flooding in europe, to wildfires in the us. And scientists say its underlined the urgent need for action on Climate Change. In less than A Hundred days, The Uk will host a major meeting of World Leaders on climate issues. Ahead of the Cop26 Summit in glasgow, representatives from more than 50 countries are meeting in london. Courtney bembridge reports. Extreme temperatures and dry conditions are fuelling wildfires in northern california. Fire is threatening spain, too. This is the Catalonia Region and one of the worst fires here in years. There were similar scenes on the italian island of sardinia. An out of Control Fire after a heat wave. While no single event can be attributed to Climate Change, scientists say its impact has never been more clear. No, no, no, no, no, no. No in belgium, heavy rainfall has caused severe flooding, less than a fortnight after deadly Flash Floods across western europe. A typhoon is battering china, days after severe flooding killed dozens of people. Days after severe flooding scientists say these events are becoming more common because warmer temperatures mean the air holds more moisture, which leads to more extreme rainfall. There was flooding in london, too water streamed into a Train Station and turned roads into rivers, as representatives from more than 50 countries met to lay the groundwork for novembers big climate summit in glasgow. This was the message from the british host. We are seeing in every part of the world, on each of our doorsteps, what happens when Climate Change gets out of control and so what i hope that we have at this meeting is an opportunity for us to shape the vision of the final outcomes from cop26 in glasgow and to build that unity of purpose amongst the ministers to deliver that. World leaders are under pressure to phase out Coal Power and set more ambitious targets on emissions which may not always win them favour at home. In some ways, they can only commit to, or it doesnt matter what they commit to if they cant get that through their parliaments so there is a very complex process behind all this. In the meantime, the impact of fires, floods and extreme heat may just focus their minds. Courtney bembridge, Bbc News. Supporters of Tunisias President Kais Saied have taken to the streets to celebrate, after he sacked the Prime Minister and suspended parliament. The president s move came after a day of demonstrations across the country, calling for the government to resign over its handling of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Gail maclellan reports. Crowds celebrate in tunis as news of the Governments Dismissal is announced. President Kais Saied also froze parliament for 30 days in an escalation of the political crisis in tunisia, much to the delight of his supporters. Translation it is the first time in my life i have heard of a Head Of State take the correct decision. We have taken back our country. This is the first time i have gone out to the streets to celebrate. In his earlier statement, the president said the measures were aimed at saving the state. Not everyone agrees, the speaker of parliament has accused the presidnet of launching a coup against the revolution and constitution. The president s move followed a day of protests in tunis and other cities on sunday, demanding the Government Step down after a spike in a covid 19 cases that has aggravated economic troubles. Translation our main demand is that the ennahda movement, l which ruled for ten years, leave the parliament. As a young man in 2011, i called forjobs, freedom and dignity. In 2021, i still call forjobs, freedom and dignity. Now, the crowds celebrate as military vehicles glide by. The extent of support for the president s move not yet clear. Gail maclellan, Bbc News. Coronavirus Infection Rates in The Netherlands skyrocketed by more than 500 earlier this month, following the scrapping of almost all remaining Lockdown Restrictions and the reopening of nightclubs in latejune. The surge in infections prompted an equally swift u turn, with nightclubs now closed until at least the 13th of august. Anna holligan went to meet one band that hoped to have been performing at the weekend. This was meant to be this bands breakthrough year. We make dutch electronic Synth Pop and its awesome. But, with nightclubs closed, there is no audience to see them in action. We had, like, 70 shows and they all got cancelled. And that was a big bummer. I already told my girlfriend i was going to pay the rent. Many feel as though they are being used as scapegoats by a state that keeps on changing direction. You cannot put this entire weight of responsibility on the youth of today. That is just crazy. If you tell youth you can go out, and you are going out, then you are punished for going out. That is very hard on us, on young people, and we shouldnt be in such a position. Earlier this month, the Infection Rate shot up by 500 one week after the government relaxed the rules before rapidly reintroducing them. And the dutch government here in the hague has been struggling to balance these competing demands. The Nightclub Owners who were want to save their businesses, the people who just want to go dancing again, and the vulnerable groups and medical workers who fear it is too soon any further relaxation could lead to another spike in infections. The dutch Health Minister was criticised after encouraging young people to get the single Shot Janssen Vaccine and go partying with the slogan, dancing with janssen. He admits the rush to restore freedom at home may result in less of it abroad. Translation it is fair to say that increasing Infection Rates could have consequences, for the extent to which we are welcome in other european countries. Even the band, desperate to get back to live shows, are urging politicians to move with caution. The best thing they could have done would be keep it closed, keep it more strict. Notjust throw everything open. So that we could just. When the time is right, really start again. Really, that live energy, as you can tell. Anna holligan, Bbc News, the hague. More now on the olympics. And we are seeing the effects the extreme heat of a japanese summer can have on the events. The organisers have done their best to try to protect the athletes from the high temperatures, but its not proving an easy task. Mariko oi is in tokyo for us. Under the Scorching Sun of tokyo, girls from den en chofu high Schools Tennis Club carry on with their extracurricular activities, but, every year, around 3000 children suffer from heatstroke during club activities like this. There have even been deaths in the past. The Schools Tennis Coach of 17 years says the hottest summers mean they have to be extra careful. Translation we measure Heat Stress indexes every hour to make sure it is safe to practise. Lately, we have gathered early in the morning at 7 15am or the late afternoon when the Temperature Isnt too high. It is under the seat that the top athletes are competing for gold during these games. It is under this heat that the top athletes are competing for gold during these games. The conditions mean we are less likely to see a volley of World Records tumbling. Just by being in heat exposure, the cardiovascular your Heart System has to work harder to maintain your performance and also your Bodys Ability to thermoregulate, maintain your Body Temperature in a good state that would also be impacted greatly. The last timejapan held a Summer Games was 1964, it was in october, when the weather was cooler, so having the games here now has raised concerns that the intense Heat And Humidity of the Tokyo Summer could pose a serious risk to athletes, but when the games are held, it all has to do with the global sport calendar. These are the major events. There is a gap between late july and august. Broadcasters around the World Paid Billions of dollars for the rights to show the olympics. They need to show it at the right time of year in the right time of day. Broadcasting is one of the two most significant Revenue Sources for the olympics, so the ioc is going to want to keep sponsors and broadcasters as happy as can be. And that means some events, like Marathon And Race walking, have been moved to sapporo, where it is cooler, while others take place in the early morning or evening. But increasingly, it is notjust the battle for a medal, it is a battle against the heat. One of europes most famous streets, the tree lined Paseo Del Prado in madrid, has been added to unescoss world heritage list. The uns cultural organisation said it was a landscape of arts and sciences, adding that together with its prominent buildings, among them the prado museum, the boulevard had played a key role in the citys history. The Spanish Government highlighted the fact that the paseo had been the first street of its kind to be open to all citizens previously park like boulevards were only open to the upper classes. You can reach me on twitter. Im Sally Bundock bbc. Stay with us. So much more to come. Sunday was a day and extreme. The highest temperature was in Northern Ireland with 28 degrees. Northern ireland, northern England And North west wales. By contrast, quite a lot of cloud. This was a Weather Watcher Picture sent in from kent, where there was a severe cluster of thunderstorms that developed and it brought some localised flooding as well. You can see the volume of lightning strikes, too, stretching all the way down from East Anglia over to the isle of wight. They slowly faded away and the area of low pressure is moving away as we speak. That is going to continue to anchor itself up into the far North East for the start of our monday morning. It will bring a fair amount of cloud across Eastern Scotland and North East england but its going to be a relatively quiet start to monday, dry with some sunshine coming through, maybe a few isolated showers lingering for a time but generally a better day. There will be a few showers develop through the afternoon, some of these possibly heavy and thundery. They should be a little more interspersed in comparison to the weekend. Temperatures, well, with a little more sunshine, higher in england with 26 degrees, the high. But we will start to see more showers developing from the west, moving into Northern Ireland, South West Wales and South West England by The End of the day. Its a Weather Front thats going to move through and the Weather Story changes as we go through the week. With low pressure anchored to the north and those Winds Swinging in a clockwise direction, it will be driving in more moisture, more cloud and certainly more of a breeze on those exposed west facing coasts. Tuesday is really quite a messy picture. There will be a lot of cloud around and showers, some of those showers thundery in nature once again. Im not going to be too clever about it, almost anywhere could catch a Shower On Tuesday and could they be quite heavy. Temperatures, they are going to struggle a little, 15 to 21 celsius. So just going below where they should be now for the time of year. The low pressure doesnt move very far at all throughout the week. We still keep this feed coming in off the atlantic, a cooler source, Brisk Wind as well. That means it stays rather cool and showery. Indications of something a little better though as we head to the weekend. Take care. This is Bbc News, broadcasting to The Uk and around the globe. Im Sally Bundock. Our top business stories. Tackling the Pingdemic Businesses face disruption to Supply Chains despite government efforts to free up critical workers. A Glass Half full for Uk Wine drinkers, as the government looks to scrap a proposed additional charge on imports. And the Winds Of Change for the cruise industry, as it hopes fully vaccinated passengers will boost the sector after covid 19 dropped anchor on its operations. Lets start here in The Uk, where the Countrys Economy is facing a pingdemic, where workers notified by the Nhs Track and Trace App have to self isolate due to being in contact with someone whos tested positive for covid. In the week ending on the 14th ofjuly, 600,000 people were sent alerts and asked to self isolate. Supply firms have been complaining they are struggling to keep Supermarkets Stocked with food. In response on sunday, the department for environment, food and rural affairs said it has identified 500 sites for daily contact testing. And some 10,000 Supermarket Depot workers in england will be exempt from quarantine rules. This will include Forklift Drivers and dispatchers, however Supermarket Workers are not included. Shane brennan Chief Executive of the cold chain federation, explained how its members are being affected by the pingdemic. Its been a really, really stressful two or three weeks of building up, day to Day Increase of number of people who are absent. So as we started to see problems with drivers being able to pick up goods, put it on to packing lines and manufacturing plants, exponential Growth Week by week heading into this weekend. We are hopeful that going into this week we might have seen the worst of it. That is very much the hope sitting here today. Whether or not that is the case, we will start to see the few days. And will start to see the few days. And what difference will start to see the few days. And what difference does the government changes make to this situation . It will help in some cases. The scheme is still pretty complicated. It only applies to certain facilities, as yOu Said at the top of the news. About 500 facilities. There are many thousands of facilities in the chain. So lots will not be able to take advantage. There is complicated protocol you have to put in place which most facilities dont have. A lot of businesses will be having to make a decision over the next 24 to 48 hours about the Exemption Scheme they want to take part in. That will depend on what they see in terms of absence rates going into this week. In terms of Supply Chains in the meantime, to what extent are they being affected . It really depends on where you are, doesnt it, as to how it impacted supermarkets are, consumers are, that kind of thing . It is flaring up. Different places have different problems. Some areas are particularly badly affected. Others are very badly affected. It is fertility by facilities. Businesses are having to put out a lot of fires across the supply chain. The problem is that has grew and grew over a number of weeks. We have started to see some emptiness on the shelves. Within that what businesses are trying to do is solve that problem. As they have done at every stage throughout the pandemic, they have been making sure they get product onto the shelves eventually. Consumers need to bear with us and understand while we are under huge pressure right now, we are focused on getting the job done. Getting product on the shelves. That was shane brennan. Now lets talk about a victory for british Wine Drinkers, after the Uk Government decided to scrap a planned Import Levy of around 10 pence on every bottle imported into the country. From 2022, wine shipped to The Uk from the eu, was due to require a certificate, which meant it met certain regulations. Justin urquhart stewart, whos the co Founder And Ambassador of seven investment management, said it could have pushed up wine prices. Its the first example of getting rid of Red Tape after brexit. Its a very good example. The idea being not eu wine, but wine from All Over The World, there was going to be an extra Charge Port on for making sure there was a Quality Standard of the wine. It is completely unnecessary. It was seen as an extra tax. It will be around about 10p a bottle. It works out at savings of £100 Billion a year. That shows how much wine we drink. Nonetheless, it will be a significant saving. Considering the amount of tax on a bottle of wine anyway, this is a reasonable saving. The Wine And Spirit Trade Association have been exhausted with this issue. It comes as a great relief to them. It is just a bit of Post Brexit Red Tape that we can do without, presumably . Yes. Postbrexit Red Tape that we can do without, presumably . Postbrexit Red Tape that we can do without, presumably . Yes, the whole idea was to try without, presumably . Yes, the whole idea was to try to without, presumably . Yes, the whole idea was to try to make without, presumably . Yes, the whole idea was to try to make sure without, presumably . Yes, the whole idea was to try to make sure there idea was to try to make sure there was a standard of quality of wine. Most wines have reasonable standard levels on them anyway. Itjust looked like an extra level that someone was putting on. Now people are saying it is a european issue. Im not sure that is the case. We were putting on an everybody� s wine, including the eu. Actually by taking it away, yes it does give us direct savings. If you are a Wine Drinker and are suffering from covid, or you have been pinged, you can celebrate by having a little bit of wine a bit cheaper, but not yet. I by having a little bit of wine a bit cheaper, but not yet. By having a little bit of wine a bit cheaper, but not yet. I was pinged recently as cheaper, but not yet. I was pinged recently as well.

Quite a few of us getting pinged at the moment. Lets talk about Philip Morris international, the tobacco giant, making headlines over the weekend. The Chief Executive speaking to the mail on sunday. It will stop selling cigarettes in britain within the next ten years, they say. That is quite a target to sort of remove the Iconic Marlboro brand from all the shops around the country . Itruieiiii. Iconic marlboro brand from all the shops around the country . Well, yOu Said there and shops around the country . Well, yOu Said there and say, shops around the country . Well, yOu Said there and say, hang shops around the country . Well, yOu Said there and say, hang on, shops around the country . Well, yOu Said there and say, hang on, if said there and say, hang on, if Philip Morris arent going to sell that, what are they going to sell . They are the marlborough brand. If that goes, they go. They have other tobacco products. You have got E Cigarettes, various other items. But nowhere near the scale of marlborough overall. This is all part of the move of environmental social and governance. Companies have to show their green credentials and the responsibility to the health and the responsibility to the Health And Welfare of everybody. Whether you are an oil company, you are now an energy management company, or if you are a Tobacco Company you will have to call yourself Something Else, this is all towards that move, to make sure there are no socially acceptable. Apart from anything else, this will affect their potential Share Price. Increasingly we have had companies like lever and general saying unless these companies are seen to be esg, they wont be invested in. If you still want to be invested in by some of the leading institutions, you will have to change your colour . Or, your product and the title of what you are doing. Cigarettes know more about E Cigarettes and other tobacco related products, whatever they are. Whatever they are indeed. Lets stay with eating, drinking, dining out.

Good morning. Sunday was a day of extremes. The highest temperature was in Northern Ireland with 28 degrees. Lots of sunshine for scotland. Northern ireland, northern England And North west wales. By contrast, further south, a lot of cloud. It went downhill after lunchtime. This was a weather Watchers Picture from kent. A severe cluster of thunderstorms developed. Localised flooding. You can see the volume of lightning strikes. Stretching all the way down from East Anglia over to the isle of wight. They slowly faded away. The area of low pressure is moving away as we speak. That is going to continue to anchor itself into the far North East for the start of our monday morning. It will bring a fair amount of cloud in Eastern Scotland and North Eastern england. A relatively quiet start on monday. Dry with some sunshine. A few isolated showers lingering for a time. Generally a better day. A few showers developing in the afternoon. Some of them possibly heavy and thundery. They should be more interspersed compared to the weekend. Temperatures, with more sunshine, higher in england, with 26 degrees the hive. But we will start to see more showers developing from the west, moving into Northern Ireland, South West Wales and South West England by The End of the day. It is a Weather Front that is going to move through. The Weather Story changes through the week. Low pressure anchored to the north. Winds swinging in a clockwise Direction Driving and more moisture, more cloud and certainly more of a breeze on exposed coasts. Tuesday is a messy picture. There will be a lot of cloud. Some showers. Some of them thundery in nature. Im not going to be too clever about it. Almost any way could catch a Shower On Tuesday. They could be quite heavy. Temperatures will struggle. 15 to 21 celsius. Just going below where they should be now for the time of the year. Low pressure does not move very far at all through the week. We still keep these feed coming in off the atlantic. A cooler source, Brisk Wind as well. So that means it stays rather cool and showery. Indications of something a little better as we head into the weekend. Take care. This is bbc world news.

Here in The Uk, Senior Ministers will decide today whether to further expand the scheme, allowing fully vaccinated key workers in england to avoid Self Isolation by taking daily covid tests instead. Staff working in the food supply chain, frontLine Emergency services, and Transport And Freight are already included and other workers such as Council Refuse collectors could also be added to the list. The department for environment, food and rural affairs says 500 sites have been identified for daily testing, which will be carried out by employers within the workplace. We represent distributors of Food And Drink to hospitals, to schools, to care homes, to prisons, to restaurants, cafes and shops. So, knowing that we are in scope as well is really, really great, because it means that businesses that have been affected by the pandemic can actually plan for any colleagues that go off. Whereas previously if somebody had been pinged, they might have had a whole team of people wiped out, which was going to be really, really difficult to plan for the supply of Food And Drink over the next three weeks. Senior doctors in england are being asked today whether they would be prepared to take industrial action over the governments 3 Pay Offer.

In The Uk, the government says it wants to make getting vaccinated against coronavirus as easy as possible, to try and get young people to take the jab. To help, Health Services in england are Running Pop Up Walk in centres at Music Festivals and shopping centres. It comes amid concerns that some 18 to 40 year olds are not turning up for pre booked appointments. Robert coxwell reports. Quick, easy and convenient. That is the idea behind this pop up Vaccination Centre in kent. Health bosses say they are becoming increasingly important as there are concerns over the number of young people who are not turning up to book appointments. It is a really difficult issue. Of course, young people want to live their lives, they want to get on with things, they want the whole covid thing to be over. Sometimes it might feel like, why bother . Cutting the Form Filling has made people bother. So much more convenient. When you come home from work, you do not want to sit there, go through your phone and find a time. I am already here, lets do it. Way easier. You walk in, five minutes and its done. Another way to increase vaccine taken is to Turn Community centres into dedicated walk in clinics.

Still to come feeling the heat at tokyo 2020 well look at how the extreme heat of the japanese summer is affecting the olympics. Three of britains biggest Conservation Charities are calling on the government to do more to protect grasslands and meadows. The bumblebee conservation trust, Plantlife International and butterfly conservation, say grasslands offer a natural solution to cutting carbon and should get similar protection to trees. The charities want the government to secure an international commitment to protect grasslands and meadows at this autumns climate Change Conference in glasgow. Gill perkins is ceo at the bumblebee conservation trust. Species which grasslands are vital for Carbon Storage and biodiversity, notjust in The Uk but globally because they currently store 30 of carbon. With protection they could store even more. The moment we are focused on forests as the main natural tool for combating climate Change But Forest cannot be planted everywhere and plans for reforestation often exclude humans whereas grasslands do not. This is bbc world news, the latest headlines Adam Peaty has won britains first Gold Medal of the Tokyo Olympics and successfully defended his 100 Metres Breaststroke title. Extreme weather is being recorded Around The World from flooding in europe to wildfires in the us and scientists say its underlined the urgent need for action on Climate Change. In less than 100 days, The Uk will host a major meeting of World Leaders on climate issues. Ahead of the Cop26 Summit in glasgow, representatives from more than 50 countries are meeting in london. Courtney bembridge reports. Extreme temperatures and dry conditions are fuelling wildfires in northern california. Fire is threatening spain, too. This is the Catalonia Region and one of the worst fires here in years. There were similar scenes on the italian island of sardinia. An out of Control Fire after a heat wave. While no single event can be attributed to Climate Change, scientists say its impact has never been more clear. No, no, no, no, no, no. No in belgium, heavy rainfall has caused severe flooding, less than a fortnight after deadly Flash Floods across western europe. A typhoon is battering china, days after severe flooding killed dozens of people. Scientists say these events are becoming more common because warmer temperatures mean the air holds more moisture, which leads to more extreme rainfall. There was flooding in london, too. Water streamed into a Train Station and turned roads into rivers, as representatives from more than 50 countries met to lay the groundwork for novembers big climate summit in glasgow. This was the message from the british host. We are seeing in every part of the world, on each of our doorsteps, what happens when Climate Change gets out of control and so what i hope that we have at this meeting is an opportunity for us to shape the vision of the final outcomes from cop26 in glasgow and to build that unity of purpose amongst the ministers to deliver that. World leaders are under pressure to phase out Coal Power and set more ambitious targets on emissions which may not always win them favour at home. In some ways, they can only commit to, or it doesnt matter what they commit to if they cant get that through their parliaments, so there is a very complex process behind all this. In the meantime, the impact of fires, floods, extreme Heat And Drought will continue to be felt. With less than 100 days till the glasgow summit, these events may focus minds. Courtney bembridge, Bbc News.

Lets turn our attention to afghanistan. Figures from the united nations show theres been a big increase in the number of civilian deaths in afghanistan, since taliban militants launched their offensive against government forces. The insurgents have captured vast swathes of rural territory, after foreign troops began their withdrawal from the country. The American Military has now said its prepared to continue to support the afghan government with Air Strikes against the taliban. Secunder kermani is in kabul and joins me now.

More than 1600 people killed in the first half of this year, more than three and a half thousand injured Leg Record high numbers of child casualties. Overall amongst some of the highest figures we have seen for that period since records began a little over a decade ago. The violence really spiked in may and june when the taliban offensive was launched which has seen the capture of half of the territory in the country. If current trends continue, this year will be the deadliest ever since records began four afghan civilians. They are calling for urgent action to be taken to avoid that caring. They found the taliban is responsible for more civilian casualties than any other group. One thing that is causing concern in so far a lot of the fighting has been in more rural areas. Now it seems to be increasingly focused on urban areas, which are more densely populated. A real Concern And Fear bloodshed will increase in the coming months. Itraihat increase in the coming months.

He was here speaking to reporters, including myself. He said the us has launched a heightened number of Air Strikes in recent days and weeks in afghanistan because of the taliban push. Many of them around the city of kandahar, which has been encircled. Concern that it could full to them. He said in the coming weeks the us would continue to support the afghan government with the Air Strikes. He refused to answer categorically repeated questions about whether Air Strikes would continue past The End of august. That is when the us Military Mission formally and is. Previously he has suggested they were not continue past The End of august and any over the Horizon Air strikes danced in the region against targets in afghanistan will only be focused on groups not including the taliban. We are concerned about how the Government Welfare after The End of august. I should Government Welfare after The End of august. Ishould point Government Welfare after The End of august. I should point out the afghans to have their own air. General mackenzie was praising their capabilities, saying it was one of the major advantages they had over the major advantages they had over the taliban.

The difficulty is, as we i have seen in londons West End, it is one thing for theatres to be allowed to open and another for them to remain open. We have seen high profile shows quite like hairspray, with big fanfares, big audiences and a big cast and after a couple of weeks they have had to close because one member of the cast tested positive on it throughout plans for the next ten days.

Inside it makes no sense. It is a problem i am looking forward to addressing. We have already rehearsed the show back in january have already rehearsed the show back injanuary and have already rehearsed the show back in january and february this year injanuary and february this year that in january and february this year that was broadcast as part of the bbc lights up season.

Thank you very much. Thank you. More now on the olympics and we are seeing the effects the extreme heat of a japanese summer can have on the events. The organisers have done their best to try to protect the athletes from the high temperatures but its not proving an easy task. Mariko oi is in tokyo for us. Under the Scorching Sun of tokyo, girls from den en chofu high Schools Tennis Club carry on with their extracurricular activities, but, every year, around 3000 children suffer from heatstroke during club activities like this. There have even been deaths in the past. The Schools Tennis Coach of 17 years says the hottest summers mean they have to be extra careful. Translation we measure Heat Stress indexes every hour to make sure it is safe to practise. Lately, we have gathered early in the morning at 7 15am or the late afternoon when the Temperature Isnt too high. It is under this heat that the worlds top athletes are competing for gold during this summers games. The conditions mean we are less likely to see a volley of World Records tumbling. Just by being in heat exposure, the cardiovascular your Heart System has to work harder to maintain your performance and also your Bodys Ability to thermoregulate, maintain your Body Temperature in a good state that would also be impacted greatly. The last timejapan held a Summer Games was 1964, it was in october, when the weather was cooler, so having the games here now has raised concerns that the intense Heat And Humidity of the Tokyo Summer could pose a serious risk to athletes, but when the games are held, it all has to do with the global sport calendar. These are the major events. There is a gap between late july and august. Broadcasters around the World Paid Billions of dollars for the rights to show the olympics. They need to show it at the right time of year in the right time of day. Broadcasting is one of the two most significant Revenue Sources for the olympics, so the ioc is going to want to keep sponsors and broadcasters as happy as can be. And that means some events, like Marathon And Race walking, have been moved to sapporo, where it is cooler, while others take place in the early morning or evening. But increasingly, it is notjust the battle for a medal, it is a battle against the heat. One of europes most famous streets, the tree lined Paseo Del Prado in madrid, has been added to unescoss world heritage list. The uns cultural organisation said it was a landscape of arts and sciences, adding that together with its prominent buildings, among them the prado museum, the boulevard had played a key role in the citys history. The Spanish Government highlighted the fact that the paseo had been the first street of its kind to be open to all citizens previously park like boulevards were only open to the upper classes.

Last week we had very high temperatures for the time of year. High pressure dominated the weather. This week it has all changed, cooler during the week with heavy showers and for localised flooding. In between there will be semi spell. This morning we are starting with clear skies in parts of the west. There is a fair bit of cloud around but also missed and fog. All the cloud should tend to break up. There will be a fair bit of sunshine around. It will not be a bone dry day, there will be one or two showers, nothing like the scale we saw yesterday, particularly in parts of sapphic and london. Temperatures ranging from 16 in the north to 26 as we push down to birmingham. This evening and overnight, many of the daytime showers will tend to fade. A system coming in across the west that will push eastwards during the course of the night and it will bring showers our way. As you can see it is not going to be a cold night with temperatures falling between 13 and 17. This Weather Front is moving from the west towards the east during the course of Monday Night into tuesday. We will start off with a View Showers. Equally many of us will start off with some sunshine but showers will get going as we go through the course of the day. Some of them heavy and thundery with the potential for localised flooding. Nothing like little on sunday. Temperatures coming down a touch 15 to 20 degrees. On wednesday more showers from the word go. Some of them will be heavy and more prolific during the course of the afternoon. Some of them will be blowing around quite quickly because we have gusty winds around the showers. Again the potential for localised flooding. The Temperature Range 15 in the north to about 20, 21 as we move down towards the south. As for the rest of the weekend into the weekend were things do remain unsettled. We still have low pressure in charge of the weather stopped it will be a mix of sunshine and showers but the temperature you will notice will be coming down. This is Bbc News. The headlines. Adam peaty has secured Team Gbs first Gold Medal of the Tokyo Olympics, successfully defending his title with victory in the 100 Metres Breaststroke. The 26 year old was the only swimmer to finish in under 58 seconds. A further easing of Lockdown Restrictions in The Uk this time Northern Ireland lifts some of its coronavirus social social distancing rules, which could see audiences returning to theatres and Concert Venues. There have been celebrations on the streets of tunisia, after the president sacked his Prime Minister and suspended parliament, following a day of nationwide protests against the governments mishandling of the coronavirus crisis. The president of the cop26 climate summit in glasgow in november, has told the bbc the impact of global warming can be seen Around The World and there is now an urgent need to prevent temperatures rising. Concerns over sustainability in fashion have seen second Hand Clothing sales rise, and now, a first in The Uk a permanent Fashion Swap Shop for adults has opened in london. Swappers pay a Membership Fee to visit the Store And Exchange items they no longer want. Jonelle awomoyi went to meet the shops founder. Id spend about £300 a month and clothing. One day i had a Girls Night at my house, and the girls came around and we were like, lets go out instead of stay in. Everybody started moving things around my wardrobe. They were swapping amongst themselves. I saw this happen and thought, if i have all these things in my wardrobe and my friend has all these things in her wardrobe, it means we all have this problem where we have all of these clothes that we are not using that could go to Somebody Else. Montana has opened a shop that runs on the basis of swapping instead of paying for goods. Swappers, rather than shoppers, can trade in their clothes for Second Hand garments. Swap nation is thought to be The Uks first permanent Fashion Swap Shop for adults. So ive brought three items, ok . There is a dress. You get a four overall for that. Blouse . It is a designer and it is made out of silk. Overall it gets 13. A fast fashion top. It is made out of polyester. Two to three tokens. Youve got 20. 20. And i can go across this whole shop and choose whatever id like . Take your time, browse, try them on, swap things in and out. Its up to you. Ijust grabbed an amazing Vintage Top that if you are going to buy it would easily be £60 to 70 fans. I have been able to come here with three items i dont wear and swap them. This is their first physical permanent store. Its really exciting for me. I wanted to be one of the first people through the doors today. Swapping fashion is a good way of keeping a circular economy and maintaining a very small but kind of personal style wardrobe. You can still update it and things. Its been amazing. Sustainable fashion is becoming more and more popular. Swap nation is just one example of a company that markets second Hand Clothing, saving clothes from landfill and giving them a new life. There are enough clothes on the planet currently to clothe the next six generations of the human race. Almost 70 of the clothes we buy today are synthetic. They are made from fossil fuels. Clothing has a huge transport cost. Most of our clothes are made 5000, 6000 miles away. Every piece of clothing we have costs the planet. So, according to patrick, we need to consume less. But does swapping have to end with fashion . You could easily swap a lawnmower and then swap that back to Somebody Else because youve used it. You could do that within your community. That could definitely work as a business. Gurkha veterans are staging a Hunger Strike on whitehall in london as part of a campaign for equal pension rights. A unique unit in the british army, the gurkhas who have a Base in folkestone are widely regarded as some of the best soldiers in the world. But those who retired before 1997 are not eligible for a uk armed Forces Pension and are calling for change.

One of them hit the bridge, causing it to collapse. Local officials say another struck a vehicle carrying tourists, causing the fatalities. It comes as the western state of maharashtra has reported more than 130 deaths in the last two days, due to flooding brought about by monsoon rains.

I am so grateful to god that i can combine my two loves witches and dance. Which is kids and dance. Mike springs out here as a british passport holding Person Injapan is completely different to that of someone with citizenship of an african country. I remember once a few years ago i was in tokyo and i heard footsteps running behind me. So i turned around to step out of the way to let whoever was running go past me, and it wasjust the police chasing me down the street. They wanted my passport. They wanted to see my id. When i showed them my passport, the way their attitude completely changed. They were asking me about Peter Rabbit and harry potter. That was like a real awakening to me.

Now, after thousands turned out for anti Lockdown Protest in sydney, australia over the weekend, calls have grown louder for more Government Support for businesses in the city. So far, unions, the Opposition Party and business leaders have called on the federal government to reintroduce wage subsidies as Sydneys Lockdown approaches its fifth week. Katie silver has more details. We are Katie Silver has more details. 2 are seeing lockdowns and, restart, then end, then restart. That is making it difficult for businesses. Restaurants dont know what to do. We are hearing these calls from far and wide. We heard, for example, from the Opposition Leader this morning. He said basically the australian Prime Minister declared mission impossible solved prematurely. Australia thought it was through the covid pandemic, ended wage subsidies, and maybe that was too soon. We have heard from the treasurer of the state of new south wales, where sydney is located. He says when new south wales goes well, the country goes well. That is because sydney is the countrys most popular city, as well as the fact that so many people live within sydney as well as in the greater region. So what was so successful at helping Australia Weather the storm when it came to the economic impact of covid was a scheme known as job keeper. Last year at its height employees could receive in the order of 1500 australian dollars, roughly 1200 Us Dollars every fortnight. As a result we saw australia virtually continuing its decades of consistent economic growth, basically dipping into every brief technical recession, but that ended. Now is the number of covid cases is that about 150 every day in sydney, the situation is not improving, which is putting a strain on businesses. Its a problem all over, the strain businesses are feeling because of the global pandemic. Lets bring you some other business stories. China has unveiled a sweeping overhaul of its education tech sector, banning companies from going public. And Chinas State owned nuclear Energy Company could be blocked from all future power projects in The Uk, with ministers understood to be investigating ways to prevent its involvement according to the financial times. The move would exclude china general nuclear from the Consortium Plan to build the £20 billion Sizewell C nuclear plant on the Suffolk Coast in england. And one of the stories ive just mentioned about Education And Technology companies that provide education in china facing new regulations, that is what pulled down Stocks Today in asia. We can see Hong Kong particularly badly affected. Many big tech stocks listed in Hong Kong saw series declines. Japan, slightly insulated from that story. 1 at the close. Also, mainland china. The blue chip stocks they are down over 2 , their lowest for some ten months because of concern about greater regulation on the part of the chinese authorities on tech companies.

Here in The Uk, Senior Ministers will decide today whether to further expand the scheme, allowing fully vaccinated key workers in england to avoid Self Isolation by taking daily covid tests instead. Staff working in the food supply chain, frontLine Emergency services, and Transport And Freight are already included and other workers such as Council Refuse collectors could also be added to the list. The department for environment, food and rural affairs says 500 sites have been identified for daily testing, which will be carried out by employers within the workplace. We represent distributors of Food And Drink to hospitals, to schools, to care homes, to prisons, to restaurants, cafes and shops. So, knowing that we are in scope as well is really, really great, because it means that businesses that have been affected by the pandemic can actually plan for any colleagues that go off. Whereas previously if somebody had been pinged, they might have had a whole team of people wiped out, which was going to be really, really difficult to plan for the supply of Food And Drink over the next three weeks. Meanwhile, the Uk Government says it wants to make getting vaccinated against coronavirus as easy a possible, to try and get young people to take the jab. To help, Health Services in england are Running Pop Up Walk in centres at Music Festivals and shopping centres. It comes amid concerns that some 18 to 40 year olds are not turning up for pre booked appointments. Robert coxwell reports. Quick, easy and convenient. That is the idea behind this pop up Vaccination Centre in kent. Health bosses say they are becoming increasingly important as there are concerns over the number of young people who are not turning up to book appointments. It is a really difficult issue. Of course, young people want to live their lives, they want to get on with things, they want the whole covid thing to be over. Sometimes it might feel like, why bother . Cutting the Form Filling has made people bother. So much more convenient. When you come home from work, you do not want to sit there, go through your phone and find a time. I am already here, lets do it. Way easier. You walk in, five minutes and its done. Another way to increase vaccine taken is to Turn Community centres into dedicated walk in clinics. This is quicker and really far away from home, so this is much more efficient. Students are showing maturity getting vaccines meant notjust for the nightclubs but we understand the importance of getting vaccines. The Uk Government confirmed being fully vaccinated would be required to enter nightclubs from september. Its thought that could be extended to other crowded venues in england, giving people another incentive to getjabbed. Senior doctors in england are being asked today whether they would be prepared to take industrial action over the governments 3 Pay Offer. The Doctors Union the bma previously said Strike Action may be considered if consultants were not given at least a 5 increase. Last week, the government raised its Pay Offer for most Nhs Staff in england from 1 to 3 , following a recommendation from an independent pay review body.

The charities want the government to secure an international commitment to protect grasslands and meadows at this autumns climate Change Conference in glasgow. Species rich grasslands are vital for Carbon Storage and biodiversity, notjust in The Uk but globally because they currently store 30 of carbon. With protection, they could store even more. At the Moment Cop26 is focused on forests as the main natural tool for combating climate Change But Forests cannot be planted everywhere and plans for reforestation often exclude humans whereas grasslands do not.

The unfolding events here however, it is important to remember, is linked to a Power Struggle which has been ongoing between the presidency and the Prime Minister and the speaker of parliament. What we saw in terms of Protests Yesterday was again carrying some of the regular slogans and messages we have seen over the last few years, people are very frustrated with the economic downturn of the country, the mismanagement of institutions, of public services deteriorating, and then covid came along and made it even worse. The protests were a part of that as well. They were also calling for the dissolution of parliament because there are a number of people in the country who have grown disillusioned with the parliamentary system. There are many politicians around wrangling which other which has stilled the country. The announcement is Based on invoking article 80 of the constitution. Technically he will be ruling with the assistance of the Prime Minister, he will appoint in the interim, and it should not be longer than 30 days.

Figures from the united nations show theres been a big increase in the number of civilian deaths in afghanistan, since taliban militants launched their offensive against government forces. The insurgents have captured vast swathes of rural territory, after foreign troops began their withdrawal from the country. The American Military has now said its prepared to continue to support the afghan government with Air Strikes against the taliban. The bbc� s Secunder Kermani is in the Capital Kabul and has more. Very grim figures, unfortunately. More than 1,600 ordinary people killed in the first half of this year, more than 3,500 injured, that includes a record high numbers of child casualties and overall is amongst some of the highest figures we have seen for that kind of period since records began a little over a decade ago. That violence really spiked in may and june when the taliban offensive was launched, which has seen them capture half of all territory in the country. The un has warned if current trends continue then this year is going to be the deadliest since records began four afghan civilians. They are calling for urgent action to be taken to avoid that pairing. That occurring. They found, according to this report, that the taliban were responsible for more civilian casualties than any other group. One thing that is causing a lot of concern is so far a lot of the fighting has been in more rural areas. Now it seems to be increasingly focused on urban areas, which are of course more densely populated. So real concern, realfear the bloodshed is going to increase in the coming months. What of this pledge by the American Military to support the afghan government with as strikes, even after the withdrawal . Airstrikes. Thats one thing we have to clarify. The us commander Visiting Kabul is in charge of us forces in the region. He was here yesterday speaking to reporters, including myself. He said the us has launched a heightened number of Air Strikes in recent days and weeks in afghanistan because of the taliban push. Many of them occurring around the southern city of kandahar, which has kind of been encircled by the taliban recently and real concern at one stage at least it could fall to them. He said, for the coming weeks, the us would continue to support the afghan government with these Air Strikes but he refused to answer categorically repeated questions about whether those Air Strikes against the taliban would continue past The End of august and that is when the us Military Mission in afghanistan formally ends. Extreme weather is being recorded Around The World from flooding in europe to wildfires in the us and scientists say its underlined the urgent need for action on Climate Change. In less than A Hundred days, The Uk will host a major meeting of World Leaders on climate issues. Ahead of the Cop26 Summit in glasgow, representatives from more than 50 countries are meeting in london. Courtney bembridge reports. Extreme temperatures and dry conditions are fuelling wildfires in northern california. Fire is threatening spain, too. This is the Catalonia Region and one of the worst fires here in years. There were similar scenes on the italian island of sardinia. An out of Control Fire after a heat wave. While no single event can be attributed to Climate Change, scientists say its impact has never been more clear. No, no, no, no, no, no. No in belgium, heavy rainfall has caused severe flooding, less than a fortnight after deadly Flash Floods across western europe. A typhoon is battering china, days after severe flooding killed dozens of people. Scientists say these events are becoming more common because warmer temperatures mean the air holds more moisture, which leads to more extreme rainfall. There was flooding in london, too. Water streamed into a Train Station and turned roads into rivers, as representatives from more than 50 countries met to lay the groundwork for novembers big climate summit in glasgow. This was the message from the british host. We are seeing in every part of the world, on each of our doorsteps, what happens when Climate Change gets out of control and so what i hope that we have at this meeting is an opportunity for us to shape the vision of the final outcomes from cop26 in glasgow and to build that unity of purpose amongst the ministers to deliver that. World leaders are under pressure to phase out Coal Power and set more ambitious targets on emissions which may not always win them favour at home. In some ways, they can only commit to, or it doesnt matter what they commit to if they cant get that through their parliaments, so there is a very complex process behind all this. In the meantime, the impact of fires, floods, extreme Heat And Drought will continue to be felt. With less than 100 days till the glasgow summit, these events may focus minds. Courtney bembridge, Bbc News. One of europes most famous streets, the tree lined Paseo Del Prado in madrid, has been added to unescoss world heritage list. The uns cultural organisation said it was a landscape of arts and sciences, adding that together with its prominent buildings, among them the prado museum, the boulevard had played a key role in the citys history.

Russell trott, Bbc News. Gurkha veterans are staging a Hunger Strike on whitehall in london as part of a campaign for equal pension rights. But those gurkhas who retired before 1997 are not eligible for a uk armed Forces Pension, and are calling for change. The government says its committed to ensuring the Gurkha Pension Scheme is sustainable and fair alongside other uk public sector pensions. Luke hanrahan reports. A Hunger Strike on the doorstep of downing street, as gurkhas who loyally fought for the british All Over The World seek equal pension rights. I served in Hong Kong, brunei, canada and The Uk. This man served for 20 years, but like all gurkhas who retired before 1997, is being denied a uk armed Forces Pension. We want equal pension, proportionally. It is very complicated. And we want a Goodwill Payment to bring our community, gurkha community, out of great poverty. Representatives of gurkha communities who live across london, the South And South east of england. We have had 207 years of this historical discrimination. We try to raise our voice over 30 years. No one listening. The government says it is committed to ensuring the Gurkha Pension Scheme is sustainable and fair alongside other uk public sector pensions. But these men women paid a third less than their british counterparts are not satisfied, striking for what they see as equality. The bbc� s Luke Hanrahan reporting. Some covid restrictions in Northern Ireland will be relaxed from today. Up to 15 people from unlimited households are now able to meet outdoors, and close contacts services like hairdressers can open without the need for pre booked appointments. Ministers at stormont will meet to decide whether theatres and Concert Halls can re open. Earlier i spoke Tojimmy Fay from the Lyric Theatre in belfast. He explained how important that decision will be. It has been 16 long months. It is about time that we are able to open up about time that we are able to open up theatres again to audiences, particularly as cinemas and bars are open. I am particularly as cinemas and bars are open. Iam hoping particularly as cinemas and bars are open. I am hoping the Executive Wont use us as an example to say there are restrictions in place and they allow us to get on with their work.

We have seen some high profile shows open with a big fanfare, big audiences, big cast, and then after a couple of weeks they had to close because one member of the cast, i think, tested positive. That throughout their plans for the following ten days. How much of a problem does that cause . 2. 2.

As i said, unlike in england, theatres have never been allowed to open since march last year. It doesnt make any sense at the moment that i can have Cast Rehearsing and they may not be allowed to perform in front of an audience next week. But they could go to a pub and made that audience afterwards inside. It doesnt make any sense. Obviously this is something that will have to be dealt with. It is a problem i am looking forward to addressing. We have already rehearsed a show called sadie that we did with the bbc back injanuary and february of this year, in january and february of this year, that was broadcast. And all of our mitigations we followed to a t and we had a very successful production. I think we can do that with this going forward. Ithihat production.

This is part of the reason why we should reopen again. It will take time to get audiences back in. The Lyric Theatre is a 400 seat venue. We can operate to about 138 seats at the moment. That would work very well. The lyric is a big spacious area. You can see around here. Plenty of room in the bar. We have all the mitigations. We have hand sanitiser, we have social distancing between seats. It is a safe space, much safer than a lot of other places would be to, and actually enjoy a play. Jimmy fay from the Lyric Theatre in belfast. Revenue losses at Heathrow Airport from the covid 19 pandemic have increased to £2. 9 billion, as the first six months of 2021 saw the same number of passengers as did in just 18 days in 2019. Changes to government rules around the Traffic Light System have been welcomed, but the Airports Management warns they could see fewer passengers in 2021 than in 2020, because expensive testing requirements for travel is putting travellers off. Lets speak now to the boss of Heathrow Airport, john holland kaye. John, those extra tests may deter people, they may be costly, they may be inconvenient, but we need them, dont we . Brute be inconvenient, but we need them, dont we . 2 2. Be inconvenient, but we need them, dont we . 2. ,. , dont we . We are talking about pcr tests, dont we . We are talking about pcr tests.

Of percent of those tests are Gina Mcclearsequenced. It of percent of those tests are Gina Mcclear sequenced. It is a huge waste of money for very little benefit. A better way would be to use the cheaper lateral flow tests, which are very high levels of accuracy. And only if you test positive, to then go and have an expensive pcr test. That would make it easier for all of us to go about our normal business. This is exactly what we do in our everyday life, what we do in our everyday life, what our kids do at school. Tbs, lat what we do in our everyday life, what our kids do at school. A lot of it is about what our kids do at school. A lot of it is about reducing what our kids do at school.

Most passengers i have spoken to, and i am in terminalfive at the moment, got through injust spoken to, and i am in terminalfive at the moment, got through in just a couple of minutes. But Border Force did have an incident on the weekend where they had fewer colleagues coming into manatee desks and their technology failed, so that the gates couldnt work. They were longer queues. I would like to apologise to anybody caught mike up. It is an unusual situation. Unfortunately, from time to time these things do happen, particularly through the pandemic. We ask people to bear with us while we try to get people through as quickly as we can. It sounds like that was linked to a technological problem. But we are seeing with so many different sectors of the economy the so called pingdemic having an impact.

We are part of the governments testing scheme, which has been extended to more companies and is a very good scheme for making sure that we can keep the airport going, which is massively important to The Uk. We are The Uks biggest port. Even we had some incidents. A couple of weeks ago we had a quarter of Ourfront Line Couple of weeks ago we had a quarter of our Front Line colleagues paint at the same time due to things that had happened in their local communities. Even they had to go and be tested before they could start work again. That meant that unfortunately we did have queues for a couple of hours insecurity. Even with the new scheme these things can happen but they are the exception. We starting to see the levels of pinging coming down. It is a good scheme to have available so people can come back into work and we can keep the airport and the Uk Economy moving smoothly. You keep the airport and the Uk Economy moving smoothly.

In some quarters there is criticism that the added Cost And Hassle of the Pcr Testing is putting travellers off and that is having an impact not just on the airport but on airlines as well. But from october, they face an added cost if they arrive by car or taxi, an extra £5 to be dropped off.

What we are hoping it will do is it will encourage people to use public transport. We are very well connected by public transport for much of the South East and parts of The Uk. And we want to encourage people to do that. But it is important that we make it as easy as possible for people to travel. The Pcr Testing you talked about cant be over £100 per passenger. That is something we think the government can act on quickly to bring down. And just get the Uk Economy Back Up and running again. Ok. And just get the Uk Economy Back Up and running again.

Lets return to the Olympic Games in tokyo, where weve been taking a deeper look at the host city. To give us some insight into the creative side of tokyo, we met Yinka Oshiletu, a british nigerian dancer Whos Part of a growing afrobeats dance scene injapans capital. Afrobeats injapan is getting more popular, but i think the scene is still really small. Right now there is no kind of really famous like afrobeat dancers coming up injapan. If there was i think there would perhaps be more of an explosion of it here. I was born in london. My family are west african, nigerian. I now live in greater tokyo injapan. Dance to me is freedom. I just think its something that has been with me since as long as i can remember. So its part of myself. When im dancing, like, im completely like not worrying about what other people think, its the time i feel closest to god. Its like a really sacred space for me. I grew up in african churches in london. My family used to ask me to dance and stuff like that. When i was about seven years old i started ballet. Then i went to this local street dance school. Hip hop, like dance and Hip Hop culture injapan, is insanely popular. I feel as an English Speaker and a Hip Hop Dancer Injapan i could not ever be unemployed i dont think. I have my own kind of Dance Business out here, i guess. I will call it a dance school. I have four, five classes a week, ages ranging from four to 14. The kids here are the light of my life. I am so grateful to god that i can combine my two loves kids and dance. My experience here as a british passport holding Person Injapan is completely different to that of someone with citizenship of an african country. I remember once a few years ago i was in tokyo and i heard footsteps running behind me. So i turned around to step out of the way to let whoever was running go past me, and it was just the police chasing me down the street. They wanted my passport. They wanted to see my id. When i showed them my passport, the way their attitude completely changed. They were asking me about Peter Rabbit and harry potter. That was like a real awakening to me. I think they saw me and on principlejust thought, maybe she is here illegally. Dance has been like a teacher to me. Its like a journey. It is something that has challenged me and saved me and broken me all of the same time. And a reminder of our breaking news this hour. Tea m Team Gb have won three Gold Medals in six hours at the Tokyo Olympics. Tom daley and Matty Lee be their chinese rivals byjust one point in the mens synchronised ten metres platform diving. It was third time lucky for 27 year old tom after he took bronze at the last two olympics.
