Lets go there live and get the latest with lucy hockings. A warm welcome to day three at the Tokyo Olympics and, as you say, the medals are coming in thick and fast. Among the winners today, Australias Ariarne Titmus beat the defending Champion Katie Ledecky in a thrilling contest in the womens 400 Metre Freestyle. There was an emotional victory for the uks Tom Daley and Matty Lee, who narrowly beat their chinese rivals in the mens synchronized 10 Metre Platform Diving. Its daley� s first gold in his fourth games. And Team Gb notched up another gold when swimmer Adam Peaty underlined his dominance in the mens 100 Metres Breastroke by successfully defending the title he won at the rio olympics five years ago. Weve just heard from his girlfriend in england. I cant even find the words to describe it because i dont think i have felt this kind of pride before. Obviously, with george there is a lot of pride, but its So different, isnt it . He recognises the swimming now, as well, because we all get So excited when it comes on. So he sees the lanes and the Blue Water and he starts to get excited. Then he sees his daddy. Not necessarily when hes swimming does he recognise him, but when hes celebrating he definitely saw him, didnt you . If he was here with you now, what would you say to him . First of all i would give him a huge hug, because that is just what im dying to do. And then i would tell him that we are So proud of him and we love him So much and that i didnt expect anything less from him. But britain isnt the only country celebrating. Lets cross to the Bbc Sport Centre and speakJane Dougall, who has been watching the action. We are calling it Magic Monday for Team Gb. Lets go through Some of those golds.

But boy, did he do it despite all of the issues surrounding these games he felt he had the best preparation of his life. He alSo had morning finals, and dont like them. They like evening meetings. He said it was about how you adapted, about who was best on the day, he was the most adaptable. He won the first goal for great britain of these games. He has become the first british swimmer to defend her olympic title, which is an incredible feat. He blew away the competition to win this 100 metres breaststroke. It was a perfectly executed swim. He finished in a time of 57. 3 seconds, six tenths clear of The Field. He did admit he cried when he went to hug his coach, melanie marshall, who was in tears and the crowd. No friends or family to cheer them on. He said there was another issue, he missed hearing the roar of the crowd, but it didnt affect him enough to damage his hopes because he brought on that cold. 50 hopes because he brought on that cold. ,. ,. , hopes because he brought on that cold. ,. ,.

I was watching her interview shortly after winning the Gold Metal and she was asked how happy it was, and she said it feels like it weighs a tonne. What an amazing performance from her. AlSo we had Naomi Osaka playing today, and of course progressing to the next stage. I guess we shouldnt expect anything less from her, but definitely worth keeping an eye on because the japanese public have been watching her performance very closely. It has been an incredible few days for team japan. Momiji nishiya is the second Gold Medalfor teamjapan, nishiya is the second Gold Medalfor team japan, Seven Nishiya is the second Gold Medalfor teamjapan, seven medals in total, So doing incredibly well. Sport headlines overtaken from the scandals, which is what the government has been hoping for. After the Mens Triathlon this morning, there are pictures circulating showing the scene, it was a bit like a battlefield, all the athletes lying collapsed and heaps all over the place. Neither is this criticism of the Organising Committee here injapan that they had misled the public overseas and the athletes about the heat. Indeed. In case youre the athletes about the heat. Indeed. In case youre wondering the athletes about the heat. Indeed. In case youre wondering why the athletes about the heat. Indeed. In case youre wondering why i the athletes about the heat. Indeed. In case youre wondering why i am i in case youre wondering why i am standing in front of the strain it is because there is the temperature board. In the early evening it is getting slightly cooler, but it has been brutally hot. As you say, Some people have started accusing the japanese government of lying because in its bid to host the games it said thatjapan . Summer is miles and that athletes would be able to perform in their best, which hasnt exactly been the case. I took your summer is nothing new to people who grew up here. It has been an issue ever since i was a child, but i have noticed it has got a lot harsher when i came home this year. That means that schools, coaches have to be extra careful to protect children playing sports outside. 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 3,000 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 Sources'>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. But from one extreme to another, we are expecting a typhoon to Hit Tokyo in the North East of japan tomorrow. We are still expecting to go to the perfect prefecture that was the most hardly heads by the tsunami in 2011. Im not sure if that will have to be rescheduled. We will keep you updated as we go along. One thing to note when talking about the heat, Tom Pidcock winning the Mains Mountain Bike and Cross Country Today for Team Gb, he took the lead very early on, midway through, he held that the whole way. It was a convincing victory for him, but he trained back at home in a heated tent apparently, So he coped with the conditions incredibly well because of their training. It obviously paid off and he was dealing with the intense heat today. Supporters of Tunisias President Kais Saied have taken to the streets to celebrate, after he sacked the countrys Prime Minister and suspended parliament. It comes after a day of demonstrations across the country calling for the government to resign over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Our North Africa Correspondent Rana Jawad is in the tunisian capital, tunis. Earlier, she gave us more details on how the crisis unfolded. Ultimately at the Moment, the president , and the army is backing him. He made the announcement after meeting with Security Officials as well as senior army officials. The unfolding events here however, it is a point to remember, are largely linked to a Power Struggle that has been ongoing since the beginning of the year 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 messages and slogans that we have seen over the last few years. People are very frustrated with the economic downturn of the country, with the mismanagement of institutions, of public services, they are deteriorating. And they want things to improve. And then covid came along and made things even worse. So the protests were a part of that as well. But they were alSo calling for the disSolution Of Parliament because there are a number of people in the country who have alSo grown disillusioned with the parliamentary system and feel that there are just too many politicians around wrangling with each other which is paralysing the country. And then we saw the president s announcement. This announcement he made was based on, as he put it, invoking article 80 of the constitution. Technically, he will be rolling with the assistance of the Prime Minister that he will appoint in the interim. And it should not be longer than 30 days. In 30 days time, you know, there needs to be clarity on what the next step is. I think the worry now is there is a lot of uncertainty as to what the next steps will be. And of course we heard from the speaker Of Parliament calling the move a coup against the constitution and the revolution of 2011. So its very tense at the Moment in terms of words coming from both sides. Some Covid Restrictions in Northern Ireland are being relaxed from today. Up to 15 people from an unlimited number of 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 to increase the numbers for indoor gatherings and if theatres and Concert Halls can re open. The Certification System that allows vaccinated people in Northern Ireland to travel abroad is under extreme pressure, according to the government. Some people applying for a certificate have had trouble obtaining one online, via post and by telephone. Dr Eddie Oneill is the director for the new Covid Certification App in Northern Ireland. Just tell us a little bit how the 3pp just tell us a little bit how the app works. Essentially, people from Northern Ireland go to our ni direct website, search for covid certification, they can find details on how to download the app. There is a Registration Process where they verify their identity. They can then request a Qr Certificate to appear on their phone. That should happen automatically for the vast majority of people. For those who have Some problems because there is insufficient data or they have entered data directly, there is a manual Team Processing in the background to make sure they get their certificates in time for travel. ,. ,. , their certificates in time for travel. ,. , , travel.

We had a couple of glitches over the weekend. The app was brought in four weeks earlier than we had intended originally. That was due to the changes in other countries that make certification mandatory, in Some cases. We release the app on friday. We had a couple of minor issues with the app which we have updated with the new release. They have been reviewed by the app stores. If people refresh their app over the next few hours they should have the most up to date version. The problem we have had has been at the support helpline. We set p been at the support helpline. We set up the helpline to help people get into the automated process because of Data Entry issues because they were having a Problem Uploading the suitable image that would allow the biometric scans to work. People have been getting In Touch to ask about foreign Office Travel Information site, which is not what it was set p site, which is not what it was set up to do. We have had to get out with messaging to stop people overwhelming the helpline So people who have an immediate travel only can get through and get their certification fixed.

Does that request still remain in place . Youre trying to deal with this in chronological order . We thou~ht this in chronological order . We thou. Ht it this in chronological order . Thought it was prudent that we would do that. Restricted it to the 31st ofjuly we could ensure that the products we have stood up are stable and everything is working ok. Then obviously this week we will review the situation in the next couple of days and once we are confident we can deal with the likely number of applications we are anticipating, we will give that information out to release further dates or open that P Release further dates or open that up completely without restriction. We ran through the easing of restrictions in Northern Ireland from today and Some further measures, Some further opening up that the ministers are considering at stormont later on today. Do you think this is the right time for all of this . We saw a couple of Trust Yesterday in Northern Ireland put out and it put out an appeal for off Duty Staff to comment because of the pressure caused by the number of Covid Patients coming in. Mr; the pressure caused by the number of Covid Patients coming in. Covid patients coming in. My Public Health colleagues Covid Patients coming in.

Senior Uk Government ministers will decide today whether to expand the scheme which allows fully vaccinated key workers in england to avoid Solation'>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 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. I spoke to rob hollyman, a director of Haulage Firm youngs transport, and asked him how his business has been affected. Much the same as other allied businesses, drivers are using the app at various Delivery Or Collection points. A day or two later they could be pinged because Somebody at those premises has contracted covid, they then have to self iSolate, which means our company, like any other haulage company, they are then required to leave those drivers at home. Dont forget, we have heard stories recently about the shortage of drivers anyway, which is considerable, and its compounding the problem. You have mentioned that, the underlying Staff Shortage of freight drivers. How will the new system work, what knowledge do you have already of it . Interesting question. Very little is the answer to that question. We dont even know if we are included as one of the 500 companies. If we were included, we dont know how the testing will operate, So to be quite honest, we havent got a clue. This all changed over the weekend about including freight companies or haulage companies, but very little has come out from government So there has been a distinct lack of clarity over what the rules and regulations will be. You havent made any representations to government to say we would like to be one of these companies . We have indeed. The Industry-body'>Industry Body has been campaigning hard, as well. We dont know if we are one of the companies that will be allowed to use this kit, the Lateral Flow Testing kit. We have quite a few of those. We dont know what the procedure is going to be, if we are appointed as a testing centre. Have you had any conversations with your drivers to say we think this is how it might work, or how we might envisage we would like to make it Work In the absence of official guidance . Yeah, weve had those conversations and the drivers are delighted that Something may be happening, but i stress maybe, because we dont know anything at the Moment. Given we are only a few weeks away from the 16th Of August, when, if people will be properly vaccinated, they will need to self iSolate anyway, presumably you really need this guidance yesterday. You took the words right out of my mouth. We need that information yesterday. Will you get In Touch with the government to try to find out, or do you just wait to find out if you are included . Somewhere in between. We are only minnows as individual companies, but we have a Trade Body and we have been In Touch with them. We are hoping that Somewhere around midday, one oclock today, there will be further news from government. Really interesting to hear the situation youre in.

And as more extreme weather is recorded Around The World scientists warn of the urgent need for Action On Climate Change Some breaking news, the singer, best known for being part of The Boys and Ronan Keating is to receive damages over Phone Hacking. He brought legal action against newspapers last year claiming his Voice Mail messages had been intercepted byjournalists. At a hearing they said a number of suspicious articles between 1996 and 2011 which contained private information, just hearing in the last few minutes that Ronan Keating has accepted substantial damages from the publisher of the news of The World over Phone Hacking. 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 us 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 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. The 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 for afghan civilians. They are calling for urgent action to be taken to avoid 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. The Uk Government says it wants to make getting vaccinated against coronavirus as easy a possible, to try to get more 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 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. That could be extended to other crowded venues in england, giving people another incentive to getjabbed.

Thank you very much for your time. What do you make of these numbers . Cases falling for the fifth day in a row. What do you attribute that to . I hope it is a genuine drop in infection and not a change in the testing or a delay in reporting. We need to be cautious, we need to see the figures reflected in hospitalisations and So far, the reports from the Front Line hospitals are a lot of cases amongst those who have not been vaccinated. I think a little bit of caution, still waiting for confirmation from the Office For National Statistics, there has been a Hold Up in the confirmation, i think it would be wonderful if it is true. We all feel a little flutter of excitement when we see this decline in Case Numbers and we think, we are past the peak. I would alSo say that in the Academy Of Medical Sciences report from last week, we said there would be a peek at The End of this month, a peak in Case Numbers followed by a drop in hospitalisations after a delay, and then a drop in deaths towards The End of august. Maybe we are starting to see that curve is a little bit earlier than we thought it was but i would urge caution at the Moment. It is a flutter of hope with a measure of caution alongside it. What do you make of the impact of vaccinations at this point along with people who have caught the virus prior to being vaccinated . Is that having an impact on the figures . On the figures . Yes, i am sure it is. The on the figures . Yes, i am sure it is the latest on the figures . Yes, i am sure it is. The latest figures on the figures . Yes, i am sure it is. The latest figures that on the figures . Yes, i am sure it is. The latest figures that two i on the figures . Yes, i am sure it| is. The latest figures that two out of three people have been fully vaccinated, that is an astonishingly good statistic, but we really need to see Something in the high 90s. Up to see Something in the high 90s. Up to 98 of people have to be, have to have a measure of immunological resistance if the Delta Agent is to be contained. The more contagious the strain, the higher the rate of vaccination or immunisation you need, achieved through vaccination or through infection or a combination of the two. The figures showing the Climbing Number of people who have antibodies, nine out of ten adults, and the delta, the younger population aged between ten and 13, So a lot of infection going on amongst teenagers, and we just dont know how that is going to translate into durable immunity. Taste translate into durable immunity. We have not discussed the 19th Ofjuly and the removal of final restrictions in england although not around the rest of the uk where facemasks are mandatory on Public Transport for example, what impact is that going to have . We would not see the impact of that yet . We is that going to have . We would not see the impact of that yet . See the impact of that yet . We will have to wait see the impact of that yet . We will have to wait and see the impact of that yet . We will have to wait and see. See the impact of that yet . We will have to wait and see. So see the impact of that yet . We will have to wait and see. So many have to wait and see. So many different factors as to the weather, the warm weather, may be asSociated with a drop in transmission, the 19th Ofjuly party is that Some people have been going to, they throw away all caution, that is going to feed through into a surge in cases which may be balanced against a reduction for other reaSons. On average, people are being cautious, most people are being cautious, most people are being very cautious, they are wearing facemasks when they go shopping in crowded places, when they are exposed high levels of exhaled breath or sneezing from other people, we are being very cautious, lets hope that is keeping the Transmission Rate down. Lang . Thank you very much for your thoughts on all of that to date. A 19 year old is attempting youngest woman to fly Solo Around The World.

The headlines on Bbc News Gold at the Tokyo Olympics for divers Tom Daley and Matty Lee, with Mountain Biker Tom Pidcock and swimmer Adam Peaty alSo securing golds for Team Gb. Celebrations in tunisia as the president sacks his Prime Minister and suspends parliament after a day of protests against the governments handling of the Covid Pandemic. As more extreme weather is recorded Around The World, a gathering of scientists warns of the urgent need for Action On Climate Change. Revenue losses at the uks Heathrow Airport have increased to £2. 9 billion, as the Airport Saw the same number of passengers in the first six months of 2021 as it did in just 18 days in 2019. Heathrow has welcomed changes to the Governments Traffic Light system, but warned passengers were being put off due to expensive Testing Requirements for travel. John Holland Kaye is Heathrow Airports Chief Executive. We are talking about the Pcr Test here which are required for anyone coming into the uk and the reaSon we are told we need them is So the government can carry out Genomic Sequencing tests on them. But the fact is only 2 of those tests are actually genomically sequenced, So it is a huge waste of money for very little benefit. A better way would be to use the cheaper lateral flow tests which have very high levels of accuracy and only if you test positive to then go and have an expensive Pcr Test and that would just make it easier for all of us to go about our normal business, and this is exactly what we do in our everyday life and what our kids do at schools. Ministers and officials from more than 50 countries are holding climate talks hosted in london by the president of the cop26 summit, alok sharma. High on the agenda is the demand from poorer countries that the rich world live up to previous commitments to do more to help them fight Climate Change and develop their economies in a sustainable way. Climate finance will be a huge issue in the Run Up to cop26, which is taking place in glasgow in november. Our Reality Check Correspondent Chris Morris is here to explain whats at stake. If you think it is going to be hard for rich countries to adjust to the need to remove Fossil Fuels and carbon from their economies, just think about how hard it is going to be in the developing world, where theres far less money to pay for new infrastructure in the first place, but theres an awful lot of people. Its a challenge which has been recognised for Some time. As long ago as 2009, the developed world agreed it would provide 100 Billion a year by 2020 to help poorer countries deal with the effects of Climate Change and build greener economies in the future. Well, 2020 has come and gone and the target has not been reached, even though a new and more ambitious target is supposed to be set for 2025. For many countries Around The World, this is the issue in the Run Up to novembers cop26 climate summit in glasgow. So how far short are they . Its quite hard to calculate what money should be included because it is a complicated mix of public and Some private finance. But the un and the oecd estimate that, by 2018, the total had reached nearly 79 Billion and it wont have got to 100 Billion by 2020. Between 2016 and 2018, 43 of the funding went to asia, 25 africa and 17 to the americas a lot of it spent on green Energy Or Transport infrastructure. Within the g7, the united states and italy in particular have been lagging behind their promises, but a Big Push to increase the overall amount of money provided is certainly on. Heres the crucial point by 2018, about three quarters of the public money made available for climate action in developing countries was in the form of loans that need to be paid back, rather than grants that dont. The share of grants was higher to the very poorest countries, but still less than half the total. Thats a big problem in countries where the Covid Pandemic has made access to international funds even more pressing. Many countries are already heavily in debt and huge loans will make that problem worse. So its a critical issue. The message from The Worlds poor to rich countries in the Run Up to the glasgow summit, if you want ambitious climate targets, youre going to have to pay for them. Gurkha veterans are staging a Hunger Strike in london as part of a campaign for equal pension rights. Gurkhas who retired before 1997 are not eligible for a uk armed Forces Pension and are calling for change. The Uk 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'>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 And Women paid a third less than their british counterparts are not satisfied, striking for what they see as equality. Concerns over sustainability in fashion have seen second Hand Clothing sales rise. Now, in whats thought to be 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 on 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'>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. A 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. 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 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 Lawn Mower and then swap that back to Somebody-else'>Somebody Else because youve used it. You could do that within your community. That could definitely work as a business. 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.

My friend knew it was stressing me So she took him for a Week Course and we went from there. Its Tom Daley� s first Olympic Gold at his fourth games. Earlier, my Colleague Lucy hockings spoke to tonia couch, former Team Gb olympic Diver And Childhood friend of Tom Daley. She said she was on the edge of her seat. My hands on my face, saying, they have done it, they have done it, as in the chinese. I thought they had just overtaken them because their last dive was amazing, but itjust wasnt enough, it was incredible. I was up on my feetjump screaming, crying, all Sorts. It was So good to watch. You have known tom for So long, what will this mean to him . It will mean The World. I was just saying to my boyfriend that tom has won world championships, world cups, world series, commonwealth games, europeans, but never that olympic Gold Medal. We all know he is able to do that, but it is never gone his way, So today was just incredible. Incredible for him. So pleased for him. What about matty, his first olympics. Not nearly as experienced. What do you think he brought to the pairing mentally . It is his first olympic games. I was nervous for matty because tom has done it many times, he knows what pressure is all about, but for matty� s first olympic games, my fingers were crossed for him to hold that nerve. The fact that it is his first games, two, he is standing there with Tom Daly, and three the pressure was just unbearable. The fact he got up there, and he looked So calm. I dont know how he did it. Hats off to Matty Lee. What do you think it will mean for the rest of the team, this kind of start . Yes, it is a very good start. Hopefully it will lift everyones spirits supply, everyones spirits up high, especially because there is no crowd cheering them on. I really think this will be Something that Team Gb will be able to thrive off. Senior ministers will decide today whether to expand the scheme which allows fully vaccinated key workers in england to avoid Solation'>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 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.

At the Moment, this is about being able to redeploy staff to maintain the Front Line but we have a concern and im very thankful numbers have gone down in the last few days that if this were to get worse, we could have a real issue in Some services, hence our request that local councils and we all have a director of Public Health, be able to determine whose critical worker and watch the appropriate action on our Local Basis. ,. ,. , watch the appropriate action on our Local Basis Local Basis.

The Labour Leader Keir Starmer has indicated that he would support the use of Vaccine Passports for mass events, but not to access health care, dentistry, orfood. We can speak to our political correspondent Helen Catt who is in westminster. This is the issue of Vaccine Passports, to get into certain places you might need to show a certificate to show you have had two jabs and it has been two weeks since you had the second dose of the vaccine. They have been controversial pretty much since the idea was floated. The government suggested it was not Something they were keen to do, domestically. They are in place for international travel. The conversation reignited again because last week, Son'>Boris JohnSon said in england by The End of september, ministers planned to introduce them for nightclubs and other large crowded venues. Since then we have fed suggestions of other places where that could be considered. The government is in talks with the Premier League about using them at football matches, certainly consideration being given to requiring them at events for any crowds of more than 20,000 people. Its very much a live discussion. , labour have said they were against them for everyday use but earlier Keir Starmer seem to suggest there might be a place for them when it comes to those Sort of large events. We got to be careful that mass events, we got to be careful that mass events, certainly the principle of double events, certainly the principle of double Vaccination And Testing is one i double Vaccination And Testing is one i would support, thats when i was very one i would support, thats when i was very happy to sign up to two Go And Watch was very happy to sign up to two Go And Watch england in the euros. I think and Watch England in the euros. I think tests and Watch England in the euros. I think tests are more useful than double think tests are more useful than double vaccination is, as the Health Secretary double vaccination is, as the Health Secretary has shown, he got covid Ust Secretary has shown, he got covid just about secretary has shown, he got covid just about ten days ago, i know he is true just about ten days ago, i know he is true that just about ten days ago, i know he is true that now but he had been double is true that now but he had been double vaccinated. I actually think double vaccinated. actually think tests double vaccinated. I actually think tests are double vaccinated. I actually think tests are much more useful and going back to tests are much more useful and going back to the tests are much more useful and going back to the nhs, the nhs have been doin back to the nhs, the nhs have been doing testing of their staff three times doing testing of their staff three times a doing testing of their staff three times a week for the last i dont know times a week for the last i dont know how times a week for the last i dont know how many months as a way of making know how many months as a way of making sure know how many months as a way of making sure they get staff back in. A number making sure they get staff back in. A number of conservative mps are opposed to any Sort of Vaccine Passports. Labour on this would be crucial if it came to any Sort of vote in parliament coming back in the autumn. It seems to be the issue of whether tests were involved seems to be a crucial one in this. Lets to be a crucial one in this. Lets talk about to be a crucial one in this. Lets talk about iSolation to be a crucial one in this. Lets talk about iSolation exemptions and whether the scheme which allows for the vaccinated key workers in england to avoid Solation'>Self ISolation by taking daily cover tests instead were to be extended. Can we expect any movement on that today . We know there is whats any movement on that today . We know there is whats known any movement on that today . We know there is whats known as any movement on that today . We know there is whats known as a any movement on that today . We know there is whats known as a meeting there is whats known as a meeting of senior ministers. Whether anything will change, we have to wait and see. We have seen changes over the course of the last week in response to Staff Shortages. As you heard just before, talking about these schemes the government already runs for allowing iSolation exemption, the second scheme which is much widerfrom exemption, the second scheme which is much wider from testing was originally set up for food distribution, that has been expanded to Emergency Services over the weekend. There are calls for it to be expanded further So we have to wait and see if that happens. There are concerns about that scheme from unions. Last week, the gmb said it was set up to driven by reSources rather than worker safety. Other unions this morning see even if they are exempt workers should not go in, they should iSolate. Interestingly, they should iSolate. Interestingly, the Labour Leader said he did not back that and he wanted the scheme and exemptions to work and if it does work, the nation supports the exemptions that keep these growing. There are voices calling the to stop this Sort of system and bring forward that date on the 16th Of August when they say fully jab people will not have to iSolate. There are growing calls, the government seems to stick pretty firm to the Exemption System saying that iSolation is a key tool in Suppressing Transmission of the virus.

Up to 15 people from an unlimited number of 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 to increase the numbers for indoor gatherings and if theatres and Concert Halls can re open. Dr Eddie Oneill is the director for the new Covid Certification App in Northern Ireland, he explained a little earlier how it works. Essentially, if people from Northern Ireland go to our website, searching with Northern Ireland direct covid certification, they can find details of how to download the app. There is an onboarding Registration Process, once they have verify their identity, they can request a Qr Code Certificate to appear on their phone. That should have an automatic, happen automatically for the vast majority of people. If there is not sufficient data or they have entered data incorrectly we have entered data incorrectly we have a manual Team Processing in the background to make sure people get their certificates in time for travel. From today, fully vaccinated people coming back from an Amber List Country will no longer need to quarantine on their return in Northern Ireland. Im joined now by damien murphy, from the asSociation of northern Ireland Travel agents. Tell us about the impact you think these eased restrictions will have on your Industry. For these eased restrictions will have on your Industry. On your Industry. For an Industry that has been on your Industry. For an Industry that has been closed on your Industry. For an Industry that has been closed march on your Industry. For an Industry | that has been closed March 2020 obviously this is a nice step forward. At this minute in time, Northern Ireland has one flight per week to a green destination, you can see and amber destination represents all of our travel outside the common travel area. We are at least back at the point when we can start engaging in meaningful discussions about Making Travel Arrangements and for us, its a point we can finally start bringing much needed revenue. But were not Out Of The Woods yet. We have had setbacks with france going onto the amber watchlist, it has dented the confidence a little bit with people a little bit worried of other countries following. Its a positive, small step but very important and very significant. I wanted to ask how much nervousness you had about Policy Changes in the Run Up and while they are away. We runup and while they are away. We are Run Up and while they are away. Are seeing very little nervousness from people about actually going on holiday. People want to go, but The Main point is around the nervousness. What happens if there is a change in the place i am going . Cani is a change in the place i am going . Can i geta is a change in the place i am going . Can i get a refund . Is a change in the place i am going . Can i geta refund . I is a change in the place i am going . Can i get a refund . I think more importantly, the question is what happens when i am away if the status changes when im away . I have to get home, i cant get home, what happens then. At that point, it could be addressed a little bit more assurance given to people, that would help with peoples fears. What would help with peoples fears.

That will certainly help our Industry-and-i'>Industry And I l certainly help our Industry-and-i'>Industry And I believe that the app has gone we have heard Some problems over the past few weeks around the vaccine passport certificate, i will be kind and say that in Northern Ireland it got off to a rather shaky start. We started with a Paper Version about three weeks ago, it was launched after about few days it was found the system could not cope with it. People going to spain and the balearics were simply told Sorry, not available, go and do a Pcr Test. But it added expense to a trip, i think more importantly here in Northern Ireland, access to the tests have proved difficult and we have examples of families having to go to different locations at different times to have their tests done and get away. The app was launched this morning, any reports So far add very positive but we need a reliable and safe system going forward that people know is going to be available to them and instill more confidence but yes it well help travel for us.

He along with partner Matty Lee won in the mens synchronised 10m platform, and after 13 years it was a long time coming. The pair dived impeccably throughout, moving top of the leaderboard after four dives, before going on to expertly handle the nerves and pressure in their final two routines. In a Nail Biting finale, the british pair watched on as the chinese duo made theirfinal dive. Daley and lee broke into wild celebrations when it became clear they had ended chinas Golden Grip on the event, dating back to 2000. I have been diving now for 20 years and this is my fourth olympic games and lots of people probably would have counted me out at this olympics being the older perSon but im in the best shape physically and mentally. Stood behind that rostum over there and about to be announced as olympic champions and then to hear the national anthem play, i was gone, i couldnt even sing. I was halfway singing and i was blubbering. Ijust. Yeah, i cant believe it. I think ithinka i think a few people at home watching might have had a tear or two in their eye as well. Meanwhile, the first of Team Gbs golds was won in the early hours of the morning. Adam peaty successfully defended his 100m Breaststroke olympic title, becoming the first british swimmer to do So.

Speaking afterwards, the defending champion said he had gone through a tough time but it had been worth it. I havent felt this good since 2016. Itjust means The World to me. I didnt have the. I thought i had the best preparation of my life but then in the finals, it goes out the window. Thats really what it takes to be an athlete, not who is the best all year round, its the best on the day, best perSon on the day who is the most adaptable. And the third Gold Medal came from an unexpected Source, Team Gbs Tom Pidcock convincingly won the Cross Country Mountain biking. In hot and humid conditions, the 21 year old domminated, leading the race from halfway onwards. The 21 year old from leeds finished a clear 20 seconds ahead the rest of The Field to take great britains third Gold Medal. It comes two months after pidcock broke his collarbone in a collision with a car while out training. He says he never expected this. It hasnt been a dream that long but it hasnt been a dream that long but i have worked So hard for it and it has been The End of the path for such a long time. Yeah, i cant imagine how it would feel to build up imagine how it would feel to build up four years for this event because it was bloody stressful enough with less than a year it is unbelievable, really.

Ill have more for you in the next hour. It is olympics all the way, jane thank you for that. Ministers and officials from more than 50 countries are holding climate talks, hosted in london by the president of the cop 26 summit alok sharma. High on the agenda is the demand from poorer countries that the rich world live up to previous commitments to do more to help them fight Climate Change, and develop their economies in a sustainable way. Climate finance will be a huge issue in the Run Up to cop 26, which is taking place in glasgow in november. Our Reality Check Correspondent Chris Morris is here to explain. If you think it is going to be hard for rich countries to adjust to the need to remove Fossil Fuels and carbon from their economies, just think about how hard it is going to be in the developing world, where theres far less money to pay for new infrastructure in the first place, but theres an awful lot of people. Its a challenge which has been recognised for Some time. As long ago as 2009, the developed world agreed it would provide 100 Billion a year by 2020 to help poorer countries deal with the effects of Climate Change and build greener economies in the future. Well, 2020 has come and gone and the target has not been reached, even though a new and more ambitious target is supposed to be set for 2025. The world committed to 100 Billion a year and it is critical that this commitment not only be honoured but that the ambition be increased and major emitters contribute more to its finances. Jamaica has great sprinters and we know that a great start does not guarantee a win. In this case, a equitable finance mechanism. For many countries Around The World, this is the issue in the Run Up to novembers cop26 climate summit in glasgow. So how far short are they . Its quite hard to calculate what money should be included because it is a complicated mix of public and Some private finance. But the un and the oecd estimate that, by 2018, the total had reached nearly 79 Billion and it wont have got to 100 Billion by 2020. Between 2016 and 2018, 43 of the funding went to asia, 25 africa and 17 to the americas a lot of it spent on green Energy Or Transport infrastructure. Within the g7, the united states and italy in particular have been lagging behind their promises, but a Big Push to increase the overall amount of money provided is certainly on. We provided is certainly on. Have had many key discus about we have had many key discussions about that in recent days and i have perSonally spoken to the president about it. President biden has indicated his complete and total commitment to make that happen. Let mejust say commitment to make that happen. Let me just say that from my point of view if the west of the developed world or whatever you want to call the conglomeration of large economies, if they dont come together and produce that it will be exceedingly hard to get any kind of broad based agreement. Heres the crucial point by 2018, about three quarters of the public money made available for climate action in developing countries was in the form of loans that need to be paid back, rather than grants that dont. The share of grants was higher to the very poorest countries, but still less than half the total. Thats a big problem in countries where the Covid Pandemic has made access to international funds even more pressing. Many countries are already heavily in debt and huge loans will make that problem worse. So its a critical issue. The message from The Worlds poor to rich countries in the Run Up to the glasgow summit, if you want ambitious climate targets, youre going to have to pay for them. Chris, thank you for that. Children experiencing poor Mental Health are three times less likely than their peers to pass five gcses including maths and english, according to a study. Researchers warned that pupils are facing a double hit to their educational prospects as the covid 19 pandemic has disrupted their learning and affected their Mental Health.

Try 3 particular study did not look at the impact of the pandemic but other studies related to this had. It showed that pre pandemic was around about 11 of children and young people having a mental diSorder, whereas by the summer of 2020 it was 16 . That might not be surprising because the pandemic is an extraordinary event where anxiety is potentially a very human response So what we need to do is track carefully over time and keep collecting the data to ensure and to check that those young people whose anxiety levels rose during the pandemic returned to the pre pandemic levels where we can service their particular needs and meet their Mental Health requirements.

With the pandemic this is an opportunity to categorise and boost that funding to schools who are already stretched dealing with other aspects of covid, such as bubbles and sending children home who have come into contact. So this is a very important step in the road for truly embedding Mental Health Support And Provision within our schools which can be a Source of universal support to young people. Doctor Neil Smith from the national centre for Social research. Thank you So much forjoining us here on Bbc News. Troops have been deployed in Tunisias Capital after clashes between supporters of the Countrys President , and protesters angered by his dismissal of tunisias prime Minister And Suspension Of Parliament. It follows a day of demonstrations across the country calling for the government to resign over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Our North Africa Correspondent Rana Jawad is in the capital tunis. Earlier she gave us more details on how the crisis unfolded. Ultimately at the Moment, the president , and the army is backing him. He made the announcement after meeting with Security Officials as well as senior army officials. The unfolding events here however, it is a point to remember, are largely linked to a Power Struggle that has been ongoing since the beginning of the year 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 messages and slogans that we have seen over the last few years. People are very frustrated with the economic downturn of the country, with the mismanagement of institutions, of public services, they are deteriorating. And they want things to improve. And then covid came along and made things even worse. So the protests were a part of that as well. But they were alSo calling for the disSolution Of Parliament because there are a number of people in the country who have alSo grown disillusioned with the parliamentary system and feel that there are just too many politicians around wrangling with each other which is paralysing the country. And then we saw the president s announcement. This announcement he made was based on, as he put it, invoking article 80 of the constitution. Technically, he will be rolling with the assistance ruling with the assistance of the Prime Minister that he will appoint in the interim. And it should not be longer than 30 days. In 30 days time, you know, there needs to be clarity on what the next step is. I think the worry now is there is a lot of uncertainty as to what the next steps will be. And of course we heard from the speaker Of Parliament calling the move a coup against the constitution and the revolution of 2011. So its very tense at the Moment in terms of words coming from both sides. New figures have uncovered significant variances in Life Expectancy and mortality by cause of death between different ethnic groups in england and wales. Data from the Office For National Statistics found white and mixed ethnic groups had lower Life Expectancy at birth, compared to their counterparts. The report is based on death rates between 2011 and 2014. Lets talk about this withjulie stanborough. Head of Health And Life events at the Office For National Statistics, and jabeer butt, Chief Executive at the race equality foundation. Welcome to you both. Good to have you with us. Julie, if i can start with you, my understanding is that this is the first report of its kind. Tell us a bit more about what you are investigating and what she found. ,. , you are investigating and what she found. ,. ,.

Today the Office For National Statistics has published found. Today the Office For National Statistics has published data found. Today the Office For National Statistics has published data on found. Today the Office For National Statistics has published data on the | statistics has published data on the differences of Life Expectancy between different ethnic groups in england and wales. When we talk about Life Expectancy we mean how long an average of expect people to live for. What we found is that people in the white and mixed ethnic groups had low Life Expectancy at birth, lowerthan groups had low Life Expectancy at birth, lower than all the other groups. Women in the black african groups. Women in the black african group had the highest Life Expectancy and men in the asian other group, including men from china and asia, had the highest Life Expectancy. This is the first time we have published these statistics. Although lots of research has to be donein although lots of research has to be done in understanding the differences, it has allowed us to see the differences between Life Expectancy in different ethnic groups pre pandemic. Expectancy in different ethnic groups prepandemic. Jabeer, how sur rised groups prepandemic. Jabeer, how surprised are groups prepandemic. Jabeer, how surprised are you groups prepandemic. Jabeer, how surprised are you by groups prepandemic. Jabeer, how surprised are you by the groups prepandemic. Jabeer, how surprised are you by the findings i surprised are you by the findings and what you make of them . The startin and what you make of them . The Starting Point and what you make of them . The Starting Point is to welcome the publication. We have had a big struggle publication. We have had a big struggle with trying to understand how inequality impacts different communities. Part of that struggle has been communities. Part of that struggle has been about not knowing what Life Expectancy is doing and how it is changing expectancy is doing and how it is changing i expectancy is doing and how it is changing. Ithink expectancy is doing and how it is changing. I think it is really welcome changing. I think it is really welcome that the Office For National Statistics welcome that the Office For National Statistics has done this work. There are Some statistics has done this work. There are Some surprises in here in terms of longer are Some surprises in here in terms of longer life are Some surprises in here in terms of longer Life Expectancy for Some communities and others but i expect the experimental nature of Some of this data the experimental nature of Some of this data would suggest that we need to treat this data would suggest that we need to treat that with care. What is clear to treat that with care. What is clear is to treat that with care. What is clear is that there does seem to be Some clear is that there does seem to be Some degree of difference between those Some degree of difference between those communities and this could be important those communities and this could be important but needs to be investigated further. Julie, why do think investigated further. Julie, why do think there those differences . Julie, why do think there are those differences . There will be a range of different factors that contribute to different Life Expectancy but one of the reaSons we see higher Life Expectancy among black african groups and the asian other group could be because more in this group are more recent migrants to england and wales and research and studies have shown that migrants tend to be healthier than the native population. We have alSo seen different ethnic groups are more or less likely to die from different diseases which could be due to a range of different factors, including their likelihood to drink alcohol or to smoke. So there is a number of different factors which will interrelate with each other and more research needs to be done to explore these differences and why they are occurring. But publishing these statistics by the Ons Today is a really important first step. Jabeer, i want to explore one particular issue with you and that is the issue of housing. What role does that play in all of this . We have known does that play in all of this . We have known for a number of years that health have known for a number of years that health is impacted by a range of issues, that health is impacted by a range of issues, employment, education, but housing of issues, employment, education, but housing is a key factor. We know that if but housing is a key factor. We know that if you but housing is a key factor. We know that if you live in more deprived areas that if you live in more deprived areas where poor housing is you are more areas where poor housing is you are more likely areas where poor housing is you are more likely to have poorer health and poorer more likely to have poorer health and poorer outlooks over a lifetime. Once and poorer outlooks over a lifetime. Once we and poorer outlooks over a lifetime. Once we start to look at this by region once we start to look at this by region and once we start to look at this by Region And Locality will probably start Region And Locality will probably start to Region And Locality will probably start to discover there are differences in Life Expectancy depending on where you live and in the type depending on where you live and in the type of depending on where you live and in the type of housing your live as welt the type of housing your live as welt i the type of housing your live as well. I suspect we will get a clearer well. I suspect we will get a clearer picture of Some of the actions clearer picture of Some of the actions we need to take to address that in actions we need to take to address that in the actions we need to take to address that in the future. That in the future. Julie, what are ou that in the future. Julie, what are you recommending . That in the future. Julie, what are you recommending . It that in the future. Julie, what are you recommending . It is that in the future. Julie, what are you recommending . It is the that in the future. Julie, what are j you recommending . It is the role that in the future. Julie, what are i you recommending . It is the role of the office for you recommending . It is the role of the office for national you recommending . It is the role of the Office For National Statistics the Office For National Statistics to collect data, provide analysis and statistics, to inform government and statistics, to inform Government And Decision makers around the country. That is why it is So important we have published these new experimental statistics So that the government can then make those decisions about what needs to be done to even out Life Expectancy across the ethnic groups. I done to even out Life Expectancy across the ethnic groups. Across the ethnic groups. I take our across the ethnic groups. I take your point across the ethnic groups. I take your point you across the ethnic groups. I take your point. You provide across the ethnic groups. I take your point. You provide the across the ethnic groups. I take | your point. You provide the data across the ethnic groups. I take your point. You provide the data and thenit your point. You provide the data and then it is for others to make the recommendations. Butjabeer, what do you think would help . I recommendations. But jabeer, what do you think would help . You think would help . I think two thins. You think would help . I think two things we you think would help . I think two things we do you think would help . I think two things. We do need you think would help . I think two things. We do need more you think would help . I think two. Things. We do need more analysis. You think would help . I think two things. We do need more analysis. We know from things. We do need more analysis. We know from previous work that wont Life Expectancy may vary, one thing that does Life Expectancy may vary, one thing that does vary is poorer health in later that does vary is poorer health in later life. That does vary is poorer health in later life, So minority communities have later life, So minority communities have longer later life, So minority communities have longer periods of time where they are have longer periods of time where they are in have longer periods of time where they are in poorer health later in life they are in poorer health later in life Some they are in poorer health later in life. Some of those changes will be brought life. Some of those changes will be brought about by the pandemic and they have brought about by the pandemic and they have to be addressed. We know it is likely they have to be addressed. We know it is likely to have had an impact on life it is likely to have had an impact on Life Expectancy and we know that Some on Life Expectancy and we know that Some of on Life Expectancy and we know that Some of the changes the government is about Some of the changes the government is about to Some of the changes the government is about to implement could well have is about to implement could well have done is about to implement could well have done they have not been doing. The uplifting universal credit is going the uplifting universal credit is going to the uplifting universal credit is going to be stopped and we know that that can going to be stopped and we know that that can have a positive impact So one of that can have a positive impact So one of the that can have a positive impact So one of the things we have argued for is for one of the things we have argued for is for that one of the things we have argued for is for that to one of the things we have argued for is for that to be maintained So we can get is for that to be maintained So we can get back to pre 2010 levels in support can get back to pre 2010 levels in support for can get back to pre 2010 levels in support for communities. Gk, can get back to pre2010 levels in support for communities. Ok, jabeer and julie, support for communities. Ok, jabeer and julie. Thank support for communities. Ok, jabeer and julie, thank you support for communities. Ok, jabeer and julie, thank you both. Now its time for a look at the weather. Hello again.

Then the rest of the week the outlook is unsettled. A historic win for Adam Peaty on day three of the games in tokyo he becomes the first ever british swimmer to successfully defend an olympic title. Adam peaty is the double olympic champion. Peaty dominated the mens100m Breaststroke to win his second Olympic Gold. This victory wasnt mine. It was the british swimming team, it was my family, it was my friends. And those people i had to put to the sideline for a Moment, because i knew it was going to take abSolutely every bit of energy to get to this point. Look at that, look at the way. Where are the scores
