Hello and welcome. Team gb is celebrating after winning olympic Gold And Silver in the mens swimming 200 Metres Freestyle. Tom dean, who contracted Covid 19 twice, won the final, with Duncan Scott completing The One two. Its the first time since 1908 that two british male swimmers have shared the podium. And a bermudan athlete has made history In Tokyo, winning the tiny islands first ever olympic Gold Medal. The bbc� s Sarah Mulkerrins is In Tokyo. It is going so well, isnt it, ben, for Team Gb in the pool. We had the Gold Yesterday for Adam Peaty. A phenomenal performance from the duo of Tom Dean and Duncan Scott in the 200 Metres Freestyle today. A wonderful result for them. As you mentioned, Tom Dean, he won gold. He was a surprise Gold Medal winner in that because he finished off, he had been second to Duncan Scott for most of the season because Duncan Scott came in as the favourite. He has been the fastest man over the distance in that. However it was his Team Mate, Tom Dean who pipped him, just touched a fraction early to the wall to win the gold. You can see his face afterwards. He couldnt quite believe it when he saw his name up on the scoreboard, in first for him. As you mentioned the struggles he has gone through in the last year or so. He caught covid twice in the Build Up to these games. He didnt know whether he would be able to perform at the level he felt he could. At times he felt he struggled to walk the stairs. He physically felt the impacts of having Covid 19 but there was a wonderful result for him today and the first time for great britain to have two medallists in Gold And Silver, as yOu Say, on the podium since 1908. But it was a wonderful Morning Session at the pool. There were three other Medals awarded, there was an olympic record in the womens 100 Metres Backstroke, lots of people were looking forward to this race, and it went the way of kylie mcewan, she was the World Record Holder coming into this. However there was Regan Smith from the usa, he had been the fastest qualifier. But it was the australian who won that with an olympic record. And then there was the 100 Metres Breaststroke for women, which was also really exciting, a total Surprise Resulting result in that because we had a 17 year old from alaska, the first ever Gold Medal in the pool in the olympics and went to lydia jacoby, who hit the favourite south african, who had been setting All The Good Times in qualifying, tatjana schoenmaker, to the gold. So a wonderful result. Speaking of moments in history, sarah, there was one for bermuda as well. Absolutely, in the triathlon this morning. You know theres a little bit of a tropical storm here. The triathlon for women was delayed this morning by about 15 minutes or so. They got into the water today, they did the 1500 metre swim. You could see the impact of the rain on the roads, it was very slippy. We saw an awful lot of Surface Water on the roads when they were on the A0 Kilometre Bike ride, which Laura Duffy managed it really well. When she got into her run, which is ten kilometres, around the streets In Tokyo, she was able to pull clear. Shes a wonderful story. She was World Champion twice back in 2016 in 2016 and 2017. Shes been a dominant force. Many expected her to win gold back in rio. Shes never won an olympic medal before. She was able to do it this time and she pulled well clear of the field. You could just see the joy on her face when she crossed the Finish Line and she was able to get that win. Earlier we spoke to bill, who is with the Royal Gazette in bermuda, No Doubt very busy at the moment. I asked him how the mood was in bermuda. Celebrations have been going on since flora crossed the line and her family had a big gathering at one of the local pubs with several hundred people that. They certainly were celebrating. I think they will be celebrating long into the night. I think there is a week of celebrations planned, isnt there . I suspect. Tell us The Journey she has been on. She has really come through a lot of adversity. She first started competing as a triathlete In Beijing in 2008. Did not finish in the event, actually gave up triathlon for a number of months at that point and then came back to it and decided this is what she really wanted to do. Competed At London and had problems with her bike and ended well in rio and came eighth, which for a country this size is absolutely exceptional. From then on she became the World Champion, a Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist, and obviousy coming into tokyo as one of the favourites. I think probably Everyone Sort of didnt quite believe that it might actually happen and we might actually win a medal, a Gold Medal of any kind of medal again for the first time since 1976. So it isjust an extraordinary achievement for a community of this size, just 60,000 of us on a 20 square mile island. It is an incredible thing and we are all unbelievably proud of her. Yes, absolutely. She has done so much as well for the sport on the island as well. She has brought events to there. She brought she has brought events to there. She brought an she has brought events to there. She brought an Itu World Triathlon here in 2018. Brought an Itu World Triathlon here in 2018, competed in and won it to enormous in 2018, competed in and won it to enormous crowds and support and it has been enormous crowds and support and it has been back since.

She has also started something called the flora fund, started something called the flora fund, aimed at helping other athletes fund, aimed at helping other athletes to compete at a World Class Tevet athletes to compete at a World Class Tevet that athletes to compete at a world class level.

The final was meant to be tomorrow and has been brought forward to today. When you think of japan, you do not think of surfing, it is not the first thing that comes to mind. As we had been finding out, japan has a huge Surfing Culture. This is the Pacific Coast of japan, an hour and a Halfs Drive is of tokyo. This is popular with local surfers.

It will head north and hit the post. That is when some of the football, the Socket Events are taking place. That could be affected. It looks like tokyo has dodged the bullet.

Tesla hits the accelerator on its electric dreams, as the Car Maker delivers a record 200,000 cars to customers in the second quarter. More volatility for bitcoin, after amazon issues a statement denying it will be accepting the cryptocurrency as payment after it surges to a six week high. And were off to the races Glorious Goodwood returns with a full Capacity Crowd. We take a look at some of the hurdles the Horse Racing Industry has faced over the past year. Hello and a very warm welcome to the programme. Lets start with tesla, because the electric Car Maker has shown no signs of being hitting by the pandemic blues. Tesla reported It Sales rose to 12 Billion for the three months to The End ofjune, up from 6 Billion a year ago. Despite shortages of Semiconductor Chips and congestion at ports hampering production, the firm delivered a record 200,000 cars to customers in the quarter. However, the firm did make a 23 Million loss on its bitcoin investments, although it recently signalled it might accept it again as a payment in future. Daniel ives is the Managing Director of wedbush securities. I asked him what he made of the results. This is a strong quarter, especially amid a Chip Shortage, 200,000 deliveries and the more profitability we are starting to see, that is the key here. Tesla is leading the charge despite some stumbles on china this quarter. You mention china. Stumbles on china this quarter. You mention china. That is such an important market for all Car Makers, but especially those in the Electric Vehicles sector. Did we get much detail on that from this set of results . ,. ,. ,. , results . Yeah, for tesla that is the heart of the results . Yeah, for tesla that is the heart of the growth results . Yeah, for tesla that is the heart of the Growth Story. Results . Yeah, for tesla that is the heart of the Growth Story. You heart of the Growth Story. You talked about china looking to be strong second half of the year. I think there was definitely optimism. I think it is something investors, it is really about the china Growth Story continuing to play out. There was a feather in the cap for Elon Musk looking forward in terms of china. It musk looking forward in terms of china. ,. , musk looking forward in terms of china. ,. ,. , china. It is something we talk about uuite a lot china. It is something we talk about quite a lot on china. It is something we talk about quite a lot on business china. It is something we talk about | quite a lot on business programmes, the shortage of semiconductors, those Essential Chips that we use in everything from smartphones and tablets, but also in cars that need those on board computers now to function. Did we learn anything about how that is having an impact on tesla, if at all . On tesla, if at all . Yeah, you talk about the on tesla, if at all . Yeah, you talk about the whole on tesla, if at all . Yeah, you talk about the whole auto on tesla, if at all . Yeah, you talk about the whole auto sector. On tesla, if at all . Yeah, you talk about the whole auto sector. I on tesla, if at all . Yeah, you talk. About the whole auto sector. I think we are seeing some moderation of the Chip Shortage, which is a positive. But if you look right now, tesla, every car they are making, they sold in the first half of the year. This is a Supply Issue rather than a demand issue. That becomes a high class problem. Now it comes down to the second half and hitting some of those target numbers. It is some of those target numbers. It is uuite some of those target numbers. It is quite interesting, they lost they made on the cryptocurrency bitcoin. The investments they made. Tesla is such a key, i suppose combination of a Car Makerand a such a key, i suppose combination of a Car Maker and a tech company. It hinted it might accept bitcoin as payment for its cars and trucks. We saw a surge in the price of bitcoin. Now it seems to have backtracked a little, especially considering the losses they have endured . Yeah, at one oint losses they have endured . Yeah, at one Point Tesla losses they have endured . Yeah, at one Point Tesla was losses they have endured . Yeah, at one Point Tesla was dealing losses they have endured . Yeah, at one Point Tesla was dealing more i losses they have endured . Yeah, at one Point Tesla was dealing more in bitcoin than selling Electric Vehicles last year. There has been a U Turn. Less than Wall Street was expecting. Ultimately this has become a sideshow for tesla. It has been a bit of an overhang on the stock. Investors will look forward to them playing that down a little bit and focusing on Electric Vehicles. Because that is the key of the tesla story. Bitcoins price surged again monday, after speculation that amazon may be entering the Cryptocurrency Sector after it posted a job seeking a digital Currency And Blockchain product lead. Bitcoin was trading at a six week high of over 40,000 until the online Retail Giant squashed rumours that it would accept the cryptocurreny as a form of payment. So is amazon interested in bitcoin or not . Dan kemp the chief Investment Officer of Morningstar Investment Management explained what is going on. The Cryptocurrency Roller Coaster continues with this latest twist that we have had from amazon first with their advert overnight, then the denial that came as well. And so i think the first thing to remember is we are going to see a lot more of these twists and turns in the cryptocurrency story. Now the reason why this is important for people is because cryptocurrency is not like a traditional asset. When you buy a traditional asset. When you buy a traditional asset, you are expecting some form of return, whether that is dividends from shareholdings or interest from bonds, or rent from property. But of course with cryptocurrencies you dont get that stream of returns. And so it is not possible to estimate a real value for assets like cryptocurrency. That is why we are seeing these huge swings in the prices because it depends on how people feel about these cryptocurrencies at any given point in time. Sometimes they are really enthusiastic and sometimes they are down in the dumps. We have seen more examples of that. Ltrulheh they are down in the dumps. We have seen more examples of that. Seen more examples of that. When it comes to the seen more examples of that. When it comes to the impact seen more examples of that. When it comes to the impact on comes to the impact on cryptocurrencies, viability etc, how important is the buy in from big firms like Amazon And Tesla . How much of a difference does that make . Well, we have seen it makes a huge difference to the sentiment of those involved in bitcoin. And its not really surprising that big companies are looking at cryptocurrencies, and more importantly, looking at the blockchain, the technology behind many of these cryptocurrencies, to see whether there is a future for that type of technology in their own businesses and even, potentially, the use of cryptocurrencies. But of course for companies like amazon that are retailing, selling goods they have paid hard currency for, typically, then they are going to need some kind of stability before they can start accepting cryptocurrencies. And we dont see that in many of these cryptocurrencies. Its difficult to tell from the outside whether they are more focused on the future of Cryptocurrencies Orjust are more focused on the future of cryptocurrencies or just at the blockchain that lies behind it. But certainly, we would expect a long lead time, and more stability, before these companies start using cryptocurrencies to a greater extent. Germany has listed spain as a high incidence area, due to concerns about a spike in covid infections. So from today most people arriving back into germany who arent fully vaccinated will have to go into quarantine. Could it have a negative effect on future bookings in spain at a delicate time for europes travel sector . Earlier i spoke to Eric Dresin the Secretary General of the European Travel agents and Tour Operators associations. He had this to say about germanys decision. This is a sad decision, if i may say like that. Theres already about 200, 250,000 like that. Theres already about 200,250,000 german people in spain today. So first of all, this is a keyissue today. So first of all, this is a key issue for them to consider how they can travel back. Now, of course, you have a lot of people who planned their holidays for spain. And for sure, there will be changes in their plan. Maybe not massively, depending of course whether they are fully vaccinated. But for sure many people will consider their Destination. In people will consider their Destination. People will consider their Destination. ,. , Destination. In terms of bookings, are ou Destination. In terms of bookings, are yOu Saying Destination. In terms of bookings, are yOu Saying that Destination. In terms of bookings, are yOu Saying that people Destination. In terms of bookings, are yOu Saying that people are are yOu Saying that people are reluctant to go to Destinations like spain, for example, if it involves having to quarantine on their return, or does the fact that people who are fully vaccinated can come in many cases, not have to quarantine, does that make a difference and encourage people to go ahead anyway . Fully vaccinated people can travel safely and easily, i would say, considering the context, in europe. Your question is very difficult because it is a fragmented decision about the Member States about Travel Restrictions in the european union. There are increasing bookings very recently, injune and there are increasing bookings very recently, in june and july, there are increasing bookings very recently, injune and july, and people want to travel. So they are trying to find out the best Destination. Looking at some Health Indicators before making the decision, on top of prices and interest. But its difficult to say exactly who is going where, because all the countries, or each country, is on Travel Restrictions. So that will be important to you, lets say, to look at all the parameters before Making A choice. find to look at all the parameters before Making A choice.

There is an increasing bookings. Destinations vary from the restrictions from the Member States, for instance, you have a euro ban map, which is very popular in the press in europe. But this is not The One used by the Member States, who apply their own restrictions. So the demand is there. People want to travel. They are booking. But lets say the decision. It is difficult to know which Destination is the most popular. Stay with us on Bbc News. Still to come. Glorious goodwood returns today, with a full Capacity Crowd. We take a look at some of the hurdles the Horse Racing Industry has faced over the past year. The number of people testing positive for coronavirus in the uk has fallen for a sixth day in a row. The latest figures show that almost 25,000 new cases were recorded yesterday down from around 47,000 a week ago. Professor Peter Openshaw is a member of nervtag, which advises the government on respiratory viruses. He says its too early to draw firm conclusions yet. Well, i do hope it is due to a genuine drop in infection and not just a change in the testing or reporting. We need to be cautious. We need these figures reflected in hospitalisations. And so far the reports from the front lines in hospitals are that a lot of cases are among those who have not been vaccinated. A group of mps is urging the government to introduce a national register to monitor children who are home schooled in england. A new report by the Education Select Committee says the government is only able to make a best guess about the standard of education for children who are currently taught at home. Ministers say theyre committed to introducing a national register soon. A man whose Wife And Son died in Loch Lomond at the weekend, has told how he desperately tried to save them, despite being unable to swim. Waris alis wife, edina olahova, their son, rana haris ali, and family friend, muhammad asim riaz, all died in the incident at ardlui on saturday. This is Bbc News. The latest headlines. Day four at the olympics, and the Medals keep coming for Team Gb theyve picked up a Gold And Silver in the mens 200 Metres Freestyle. Earlier, there was a first ever gold for bermuda Flora Duffy winning the Womens Triathlon. South koreas economy expanded at the fastest annual pace in a decade in the second quarter, boosted by a Pick Up in private consumption. However, a resurgence of Covid 19 infections has cast some doubt over the outlook for growth for the rest of the year. Katie silver is in our Asia Business Hub of singapore. She has more details on the latest figures from korea. So they more or less hit expectations. From April Tojune We Saw growth of almost 6 . This was a big jump from the previous quarter, where there was a 2 growth. One of the reasons for this is the low base effect. April tojune, back in 2020, we can all remember, almost all of the world was in lockdown, including South Korea. Therefore, it came off a low base. As you mentioned, there was a Pick Up in consumption. People were going out and spending and Government Expenditure went up. As economies around the world are basically reopening, particularly South Koreas major trading partners. That is meant a big resurgence when it comes to exports and imports which have helped South Korea. This wont come any surprise to the bank of korea, which has previously warned about inflation. We may see South Korea beef, the first South Asian country to raise interest rates. That may happen as soon as next month. But there are those fears going forward that you mentioned, particularly when it comes to covid. The currently having its worst outbreak in all of the pandemic and facing its toughest restrictions. That is likely to really impact consumption, the confidence going forward. There is also the ongoing conflict when it comes to the Chip Shortage for South Korea. It is a huge export but it also needed in many of its products. That is likely to impact growth. Analysts say they are cutting their Growth Forecasts as a result this year despite this 6 . Katie silver. Lets get some of the days other news the Department Store Chain Selfridges Group has been put up for sale by canadas Weston Family for 4 Billion pounds according to several media reports. Credit suisse has been appointed to start looking for a buyer. Selfridges cut 450 jobs a year ago after sales slumped during englands nationwide lockdown. Jeff bezos has offered to cover 2 Billion dollars of Nasa Costs in order to be reconsidered for a key contract to build a Moon Landing vehicle. In april, the Space Agency awarded the 2 point 9 Billion contract to Elon Musk, rejecting a bid from Bezos Company Blue Origin. Lavender is Natures Cure for anxiety and insomnia. It also used to be an economic mainstay for the tiny east European Republic of moldova during communist times. Now, after 30 years in the doldrums, Moldovas Lavender Industry is growing again. It is giving the country some much needed export earnings, and a new type of tourist attraction. Those fields make for some good social media photos. Glorious goodwood, one of the highlights of the british Horse Racing calendar, is set to start today. It hopes to be one of the first major Sporting Events to welcome a full Capacity Crowd back in 2021. But this has been a difficult time for racecourses on a commercial level the pandemic is thought to have cost racecourses £400 million. Adam waterworth is the events Managing Director for the whole goodwood group. I asked him if there was appetite for people to return to these large crowd events. Our ticket sales, since the Prime Minister made his announcement three weeks ago now, how to sales have been really strong and, thankfully, there does seem to be, yes. For those watching there does seem to be, yes. For those watching or attending, will be racing look or feel as those watching or attending, will be racing Look Orfeel as it those watching or attending, will be racing look or feel as it always has done, orwill there racing look or feel as it always has done, or will there be differences . I hope so. I mean, obviously, there will still be a number of things in place that is our way of being careful, effectively. So there will still be masks being worn in inside areas. And i think the way that people behave, i will be interested to see how they behave and how they interact on the racecourse. Frankly, ijust interact on the racecourse. Frankly, i just dont know. Interact on the racecourse. Frankly, ijust dont know. But i think certainly, once the racing starts, and in terms of those shots that people watching from home will see, i think it will look like a family but fairly normal goodwood. Ltraihgt but fairly normal goodwood. What sort of a state but fairly normal goodwood. What sort of a state is but fairly normal goodwood. What sort of a state is the but fairly normal goodwood. What sort of a state is the horse but fairly normal goodwood. What sort of a state is the Horse Racing Industry looked at . A pandemic or not, the horses have to be looked after, people have to be paid to look after them. They must have been some fairly heavy cost involved without the income . Some fairly heavy cost involved without the income . Yeah, its been very difficult without the income . Yeah, its been very difficult. Its without the income . Yeah, its been very difficult. Its been without the income . Yeah, its been very difficult. Its been very very difficult. Its been very difficult for everyone. At least with Horse Racing we were able to get back racing behind closed doors. So although we were closed and from the middle of march last year until the middle of march last year until the beginning ofjune, from june last year we have at least been able to race behind closed doors. So that has kept the wheel turning. Prize money levels were down for obvious reasons. For the racecourses, especially the larger racecourses, especially the larger racecourses like goodwood, not having a crowd is obviously a huge impact on our businesses. Haifa having a crowd is obviously a huge impact on our businesses. Now we say Aoodb E to impact on our businesses. Now we say goodbye to our impact on our businesses.

Anthony koffi, an experienced athletics winning coach from Ivory Coast, tells us what it takes to run a 100 metres race. Yeah, fighting Spirit And Plenty of training. That is it from me for the moment. ,. , good morning. The weather in the next few days remains unsettled. Some torrential Thundery Downpours leading to the potential for flash flooding. In between there will be some sunny spells. Frequent gusty winds at times as well. That is the forecast for today. After a bright start in the east you can see all of this Cloud Planning in from the west. It has produced Thundery Downpours in parts of Southern England this morning. Low pressure is firmly in charge. Not much of an eye in the chart. Any showers we do catch will be slow moving. For many it is a dry start with a few showers. The heaviest moving across Southern England into parts of the midlands. The showers will develop more widely into the afternoon for the north midlands, North Wales and northwards. Some could be heavy and thundery. In scotland, the chance of localised flooding. Temperatures ranging from 15 to maybe 22 or 23. Down a touch on the 26 and 27 We Saw yesterday in places. This evening and overnight some of the showers in the south will fade but we will see more coming in from the west. The showers continue across scotland, eventually merging with the new system from the west. That combination again could produce some torrential downpours. It is not going to be called across the board. Into tomorrow, low pressure still firmly in charge. A few more isobars in the chart. Not much wind in the centre of this low. Any of those torrential downpours will be slow moving. Again in scotland there is the risk of some flash flooding. For england, wales and Northern Ireland, heavy showers, sunshine in between. Some showers will be thundery. A windier day than it has been. These white circles represent the average wind speed. It would be more like 30 to 40 mph in the showers. Temperatures disappointing for the stage injuly. As we move from wednesday into thursday, more isobars, the wind will fraction from the North West as we go through the course of the latter part of the day. And you could see what is happening on thursday. We still have some rain in scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland. For the rest of england and wales, a drier day. You can see what is happening in the South West. More rain coming ourway. Happening in the South West. More rain coming our way. It will also turn that bit windier. This is bbc world news, Im Samantha simmonds. Our top stories. Day four at the olympics and the Medals keep coming for Team Gb theyve picked up a Gold And Silver in the mens 200 Metres Freestyle. But some Shock News forjapan, as Naomi Osaka has is knocked out of the tennis in the third round. Borisjohnson promised to build a Safer Society, as he publishes what the Uk Government calls its Beating Crime Plan. North and South Korea restore a Communications Hotline, following an exchange of letters between the two leaders. And another billionaire space race, Asjeff Bezos offers nasa a 2 Billion discount to try and undercut rival Elon Musk� s contract to build a moon lander. Hello and welcome to bbc world news. Team gb is celebrating after winning olympic Gold And Silver in the mens swimming 200 Metres Freestyle. Tom dean, who contracted Covid 19 twice, won the final, with Duncan Scott completing The One two. Its the first time since 1908 that two british male swimmers have shared the podium. And a bermudan athlete has made history In Tokyo winning the tiny islands first ever olympic Gold Medal. And in the past half an hour, in the womens tennis competition, localfavourite Naomi Osaka has been knocked out in the third round. Chetan partak is waiting to tell us more about that but first, the bbc� s Sarah Mulkerrins is In Tokyo. What a morning it was In Tokyo for the Island Nation of bermuda a first olympic Gold Medal for them as Florida Duffy won the Womens Triathlon. The tropical storm that hit tokyo was no problem for her. They had a delayed start but once she got in and got through her swim and navigated the Slippery Roads on the bike around tokyo, she was The One who was able to pull clear on Her10 Km Run to win olympic gold. Such a good result for her. She has two World Titles already. She had been a dominant force in the sport but she has been struggling with injury, she stepped away from the sport. She didnt quite know whether this Olympic Dream would happen for her. When she crossed the line and held her hands aloft and celebrated, you could see the joy and the relief etched on her face. Meanwhile it has been a brilliant morning in the Swimming Pool as well. We had fourfinals, a great morning for great britain. Tom dean winning gold in the mens 200 Metres Freestyle and his compatriot Duncan Scott coming second, just a short margin behind him. Duncan scott was the fastest man in the world this year going into the final but it was Tom Dean, with a look of complete shock afterwards, won gold. Interestingly, he caught covid twice in the Build Up to this and he was wondering how it would affect him as he struggled physically at times with it. A great morning for him. Then two really good results in the womens. Kaylee mckeown from australia, she set an olympic record as she won the 100 Metres Backstroke and then what a story the 17 year old from alaska, lydia jacoby, she was the Surprise Winner in the womens100 Metres Breaststroke, that is the first time that a swimmer from alaska has won olympic gold. Lets cross to the bbc Sports Centre and speak to chethan pa rthak. Welcome. A bit of a shock for osaka. She had the weight of the nation on her shoulders, she has been the face of the games, knocked out in the fourth round. We had not seen osaka play since the French Open. She pulled out of that. She was not at wimbledon and wanted to focus on her mental health. She has spoken a lot about her depression and anxiety. She did not want to do the Media Conferences and was preparing for the hard core season. This was a huge target for her. At the Opening Ceremony she was the first Tennis Player to light the olympic waldron. She looked really good in the opening rounds but she was beaten in Straight Sets in a little over an hour. Windy conditions but still conditions you would fancy osaka in. Her opponent is not a player to be taken lightly. She lost to Ash Barty in an open final. We have seen shock after shock in the Womens Side of the jaw so far. The World Number one Ash Barty is now out. Naomi osaka. It has been happening at the grand slams. Tough for osaka to take. The face of the games and so much expectation. She will be hugely disappointed. To go out in the way she did in Straight Sets. Teiiii disappointed. To go out in the way she did in Straight Sets.

It has been a good few hours for them. History was made in the pool. The first time since 1908 we had a one and two for gb. What was great about the story is you are talking about friends. Tom dean, gold on his debian. Duncan scott finishing just behind his friend. A really great story for Tom Dean. I was listening to his mother coming into work, talking about her pride. She has five children. As baby she had them all in the pool early on. She is not the only one who has promised. There were seven of them in the garden, cheering him on on the big screen. Not expecting him to get the Gold Medal. As sarah was telling you, he had carried a virus twice. On one occasion he was struggling to get up the stairs. Coronavirus twice. A fantastic story for him. Not often we are talking about Gold And Silver in the same race for Team Gb. What a magical moment that was. Especially on the back of what Adam Peaty was able to do on monday. The media, the tiny nation celebrating its first gold. This is a nation with round about 60,000 in terms of population, their least populous nation to win an olympic gold. Bermudas Laura Duffy getting thejob done. I olympic gold. Bermudas Laura Duffy getting the job done. I talked about the conditions in the tennis being windy.

She had any problem as well. She was surprised to be able to manage the race and finished a minute ahead of the brits, Georgia Taylor Brown. Remarkable from her. She had a puncture on her back tyre. She rode with the flat and ended up getting a Silver Medal. Just a mention on kt, the us athlete winning bronze. The 2019 World Champion.

Here in the uk, prime Minister Borisjohnson has promised to build a Safer Society with fewer victims as he published what the government calls its Beating Crime Plan. The document published while parliament is in recess outlines a strategy which among other things expands programmes to tackle Drug Misuse and increases Satellite Monitoring of recently released burglars and robbers. But the Police Federation said the system needs funding not gimmicks. The bbc� s home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports. The government says its Beating Crime Plan is about increasing public trust in the criminalJustice System. Ambitiously, the Prime Minister claimed it would lead to less crime, fewer victims and a safer country. One eye catching policy is to allow everyone in england and wales to be able to look up a named and contactable Police Officer responsible for their area. There are also plans to expand project adder, which tackles Drug Dealers and improves services for people with addictions. Another proposal is to do more 24 Hour Monitoring of burglars and robbers after they are released from prison, using tags with satellite technology. This way their movements can be mapped against new crimes being investigated by police. The Police Federation, which represents Rank And File officers, and is furious about a proposed pay freeze, said it didnt need gimmicks but genuine investment. In a report also published today, Thejustice Committee of mps has warned that cuts to legal aid have hollowed out key parts of the Justice System and this is putting fairness at risk. Daniel sandford, Bbc News. The number of people testing positive for coronavirus in the uk has fallen for a sixth day in a row. The latest figures show that almost 25,000 new cases were recorded on monday down from around 47,000 a week ago. Staying in the uk for a moment, and the prime Minister And Chancellor are out of isolation having spent more than a week working remotely. Borisjohnson and Rishi Sunak both went into Self Isolation Onjuly 18th the day before most covid rules were lifted in england after they came into contact with Health Secretary sajid javid, who tested positive for coronavirus. North and South Korea have restored a Communications Hotline between them which was cut off by pyongyang more than a year ago. A statement issued by the government in the south said the move followed an exchange of numerous letters between the leaders of the two countries. Lets speak to our correspondent, Laura Bicker, whos in seoul. Welcome to you. Explain to us about the hotline, how it works and why the hotline, how it works and why the restoration of it is so important.

This today is the anniversary of the armistice signing. On the Anniversary Communication lines have been reopened. Last year, lastjune, North Korea turned its back on the south. It had Communication Lines and blew up the inter korean liaison office. This office was built at the border specifically for the two sides to talk. Having turned its back on the south and it happened after the relationship between pyongyang and washington, remember all the hope when kim Jong Un pyongyang and washington, remember all the hope when kimJong Un met Donald Trump and the hope of a deal, all of that fell through and so did North And South relations. In the last year there has been very little contact between the two countries. We understand since april there had been a number of letters between the South Korean and North Korean leaders. We understand those letters have been about Coronavirus Response and also about re establishing Communication Lines. A short conversation was had between the person manning the South Korean line and the person manning the North Korean line. The person in the south said it was good to be talking once again to the person in the north.

A group of mps is urging the government to introduce a national register to monitor children who are home schooled in england. A new report by the Education Select Committee says the government is only able to make a best guess about the standard of education for children who are currently taught at home. Ministers say theyre committed to introducing a national register soon. The conservative Mp Robert Halfon is chair of the uks parliamentary education committee, and says more needs to be done. The astonishing thing about all of theseis the astonishing thing about all of these is there is no data, no information properly collected by the Department For Education in terms of how many Home Educated Children there are, what their outcomes are and what support they need to be given. That is counter productive because we know that despite the efforts of a number of parents who do a remarkable job for their children in home education, we know that many parents are struggling.

As the Delta Variant begins to take hold in the united states, some states are beginning to worry about the impact it will have on the unvaccinated. In california, one of the most vaccinated states, masks are now once again required to be worn in all indoor public places. Our North America correspondent, Sophie Long reports. Here is the truth. If you are fully vaccinated, you are safer with a higher degree of protection. But if you are not vaccinated, you are not protected. Cheering. And what we have now is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The and what we have now is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Of the unvaccinated. The message from the president of the unvaccinated. The message from the president is of the unvaccinated.

You if you look at the inflection of the curve you look at the inflection of the curve of you look at the inflection of the curve of new cases. As yOu Said in the Running Curve of new cases. As yOu Said in the running to this interview, it is among the running to this interview, it is among the the running to this interview, it is among the unvaccinated. And since we have a among the unvaccinated. And since we have a 50 among the unvaccinated. And since we have a 50 of the country not fully vaccinated. Have a 50 of the country not fully vaccinated, that is a problem. In vaccinated, that is a problem. In some states, like alabama, the Vaccination Rates are much lower, leading to fears that Intensive Care Units could be a capacity once more. The new cases in covid are because of unvaccinated fault. Almost 100 of unvaccinated fault. Almost 100 of the new hospitalisations are unvaccinated folks. And the deaths are certainly occurring with unvaccinated folks. These folks are choosing a horrible lifestyle of self inflicted pain. Choosing a horrible lifestyle of selfinflicted pain. Choosing a horrible lifestyle of selfinflicted pain. From the East Coast to the selfinflicted pain. From the East Coast to the west, selfinflicted pain. From the East Coast to the west, officials selfinflicted pain. From the East Coast to the west, officials are i coast to the west, officials are redoubling their efforts to push people to act responsibly. Anybody that hospitalised, people to act responsibly. Anybody that hospitalised, or people to act responsibly. Anybody that hospitalised, or is people to act responsibly. Anybody that hospitalised, or is in people to act responsibly. Anybody that hospitalised, or is in an people to act responsibly. Anybody that hospitalised, or is in an icu i that hospitalised, or is in an icu through that hospitalised, or is in an icu through Covid 19 right now, is there by choice through Covid 19 right now, is there by choice because they didnt make the effort by choice because they didnt make the effort to get vaccinated. That is what the effort to get vaccinated. That is what we the effort to get vaccinated. That is what we need to fix. But the effort to get vaccinated. That is what we need to fix.

And in californias orange county, where hospitalisations are surging, even the seriously ill remain reluctant to have the injection that could save lives. I to have the inection that could lives. Save lives. I think its an individual save lives. I think its an individual decision. I save lives. I think its an i individual decision. Theres a save lives. I think its an individual decision. Theres a lot of factors going into it. There are politics involved. And there are multiple sides of the equation. Due to this latest multiple sides of the equation. Due to this latest surge being driven by the highly transmissible Delta Variant, La County have now reinstated its indoor mask wearing mandate, even for those who have been vaccinated.

For more than 3,000 Car Workers at swindons Honda Plant, this week is their last at the plant. The japanese Car Maker has been a vital part of the Areas Economy for 35 years, but by friday the last vehicle will have rolled of the production line. Even though the closure has been two years in the pipeline, many are still looking forjobs that match their skills and the bbc� s Dave Harvey has been hearing from some of them. It was just like my world had collapsed. I liked working in hyundai. When they announced it, we were on an apprenticeship as well. It was just like my world had collapsed. For me personally, i felt i had got my foot on the ladder in terms of a career i was really interested in. So it sort of knocked us for six, really~ so it sort of knocked us for six, really it so it sort of knocked us for six, really. It was quite a blow. It has been a long three years for thousands of honda workers trying to find work. Midway through their apprenticeships they have now been taken on by a new firm making Cutting Edge Recycling machines, eager to snap up staff with the honda track record. The guys are really great, really enthusiastic, always willing to be hands on. It is completely different to honda. They crave learning and continuous improvement. It is they crave learning and continuous improvement it is completely different to honda. For example, on monday i was at the university of Birmingham Setting up a research rig. It is a completely different job. It is not even comparable. Very ositive, it is not even comparable. Very positive, honestly. It is not even comparable. Very positive, honestly. In it is not even comparable. Very positive, honestly. In fact, i it is not even comparable. Positive, honestly. In fact, ithink positive, honestly. Infact, ithink i am in a better place now than i was. With the promise of further training and even Degree Level qualifications, i am really happy, honestly. For the other 3000 workers in this vast factory, their fortunes lay with the union, Negotiating Redundancy packages to keep them going while they look for work. They are unprecedented, in my view. Ive not experienced anything like it in this industry or any other industry. It equates to about six and a half weeks for every year itself. It is uncapped, unlike the statutory minimum. And there are additional bonuses wrapped up within that. They will walk out with very lucrative Redundancy Packages. Especially if you have been here for a long time. Honda at swindon is surrounded by trading estates. Soon, thousands of former Car Workers will be here looking for work. The current conditions of the market. The current conditions of the market. I the current conditions of the market, i will be honest with you, there market, i will be honest with you, there are market, i will be honest with you, there are more jobs than people. The biggest there are more jobs than people. The biggest challenge for these guys is going biggest challenge for these guys is going to biggest challenge for these guys is going to be their salary expectations. A Production Operative worked there for more than 20 years, and he was on more than £20 an hour. He is probably looking realistically at anything from Minimum Wage to up to £10 an hour. Sol so i think there will be a bit of a reality so i think there will be a bit of a Reality Check for a lot of the honda workers for michaelandjim, a bright future. But they have hundreds of friends are still searching forjobs. You try to think there are 3500 people you try to think there are 3500 people there. They may not always be so lucky the bbc� s Business Reporter Dave Harvey reporting from swindon. World Business Report is coming up in a moment. But before then, lets head back to the olympics. And its the shortest race in the games, clocking in at around ten seconds for the men and 11 seconds for the women. Its over in a flash, but theres No Doubt the 100m is one of sports most iconic event, seen by hundreds of millions of people around the world. It all seems so simple you just run fast and thats it. Well, anthony koffi, an experienced athletics winning coach from Ivory Coast, says theres more than meets the eye for athletes hoping to compete in the 100 metres final. This it doesnt seem that simple to me. That is it from me for the moment. Ben will have the Business News in World Business Report. Thank you for watching. Tesla hits the accelerator on its electric dreams, as the carmaker delivers a record 200,000 cars to customers in the second quarter. German worries about spains spike in covid infections means yet more uncertainty for European Travellers. Welcome to World Business Report. Lets start with tesla, because the electric carmaker has shown no signs of being hit by the pandemic blues. Tesla reported It Sales rose to 12 Billion for the three months to The End ofjune, up from 6 Billion a year ago. Despite shortages of Semiconductor Chips and congestion at ports hampering production, the firm delivered a record 200,000 cars to customers in the quarter. However, the firm did make a 23 Million loss on its bitcoin investments, although it recently signalled it might accept it again as a payment in future. Daniel ives is the Managing Director of wedbush securities. I asked him what he made of the results. This is a strong quarter, especially with the Chip Shortage, the 200,000 deliveries and the more profitability we are starting to see. That is the key here. Tesla is leading the charge on the green tidal wave despite some stumbles in china this quarter. Its tidal wave despite some stumbles in china this quarter. China this quarter.

That is such an important market for all Car Makers but especially those in the electric vehicle sector. Did we get much detail on that from this set of results .

Yes, for tesla that is the heart and lungs, set of results . Yes, for tesla that is the heart and lungs, the set of results . Yes, for tesla that| is the heart and lungs, the Growth Story. You talked about china. It looks to be strong second half of the year. I think it was definitely optimism. Investors, when the stock digests, it is the china Growth Story continuing to play out, that is the key to tesla. It was a feather in the cab four Elon Musk looking forward in terms of china. It is something we talk about quite a lot on the business programmes, the shortage of semiconductors, there Essential Chips that we use in everything from smartphones and tablets, but also in cars that need those on board computers now to function. Did we learn anything about how that is having an impact on tesla, if at all . On tesla, if at all . Yeah, i think we are seeing on tesla, if at all . Yeah, i think we are seeing some on tesla, if at all . Yeah, i thinkj we are seeing some moderation on tesla, if at all . Yeah, i think. We are seeing some moderation in on tesla, if at all . Yeah, i think we are seeing some moderation in the Chip Shortage, which is a positive. But if you look right now at a tesla, every car they are making they sold at the first half of the year. This is a Supply Issue rather than a demand issue. That becomes a higher class problem. Now it comes down to second half they really need to start to see some of that alleviate to hit some of those target numbers. It alleviate to hit some of those target numbers. Target numbers. It is quite interesting, target numbers. It is quite interesting, the target numbers. It is quite interesting, the loss i target numbers. It is quite interesting, the loss they L Target numbers. It is quite i interesting, the loss they made target numbers. It is quite interesting, the loss they made on the cryptocurrency bitcoin, the investments they made. Because tesla is such a key combination of a Car Maker and is such a key combination of a Car Makerand a is such a key combination of a Car Maker and a tech company. We saw a surge in the price of bitcoin. Now it seems to have backtracked from that a little, especially considering the losses they have endured . ,. ,. , considering the losses they have endured . ,. ,. , considering the losses they have endured . , i. ,. ,. , endured .

Yeah, when you go back at one Point Tesla made more in Bitcoin Or Paper again than from selling all the electrical fields of Electric Vehicles last year. There has been a U Turn there in terms of bitcoin. A 23 Million write down. Ultimately this has become a sideshow for tesla. It has been a bit of an overhang in the stock. I think investors are looking forward to them playing that down a bit and focusing on Electric Vehicles, because that, especially with competition across the board, that is the key to the tesla story. Daniel lives there. Joining me now is dan kemp, whos the chief Investment Officer of Morningstar Investment Management. Good to see you. We saw those results for tesla. What do investors make of the developments on the electric Vehicles Front from what we have seen . ,. ,. , electric Vehicles Front from what we have seen .

There is so i are absolutely right. There is so much for investors to chew over italy tesla results the results we have had coming up in the next few weeks. It is really important from an Investment Perspective to separate the Growth Story that we have just been hearing about, from the valuation of these electric vehicle companies. Because of course it is perfectly possible to turn a great asset, a growing business, into a terrible investment by paying too much. Typically investors tend too much. Typically investors tend to overestimate the change that we will see, either at Company Level or at industry level, over the next two years and underestimate what is going to happen over the next ten years. That could lead to very wide gyration to migrate the price. We have seen that in the electrical Vehicle Market over the last year. It is so important to keep a steady head, think about what the story means but more importantly, how much you are paying for that story, whether it is at tesla or any other investment. Whether it is at tesla or any other investment investment. One of the other interesting investment. One of the other interesting things investment. One of the other interesting things we investment. One of the other interesting things we learned j investment. One of the other i interesting things we learned was that 23 Million loss that tesla made on its investment in bitcoin. Bitcoin has been on a bit of a Roller Coaster this week, and not just because of tesla. Other firms have been having an effect as well. Tell us more about that . That is exactly right. Again we are seeing a similar dynamic play out in bitcoin as we are in the Technology Sector in the us, and the electric vehicle sector. People are getting very enthusiastic about the future of this technology from the growth we are seeing a potential adoption. But maybe arent paying as much attention to the price that people are paying for those assets. So we are paying for those assets. So we are seeing wild gyrations. We saw a very strong run up in cryptocurrency prices earlier in the year. Then a sharp crash. And just over the last couple of days, we have seen speculation about amazon getting involved in cryptocurrency, which again has led to some enthusiasm. There has been another announcement from amazon. Its so important to understand that if you cant identify a fair value for an asset, what it is really worth, which cup which typically comes at looking at what the future returns from an asset will be, whether dividends or interest, it then it is very difficult if you set a realistic price. That is when you get these extreme gyrations. Just be careful of thinking about what the real value of any asset is worth, not just what the current price is. Ben just what the current price is. Dan kem , just what the current price is. Dan kemp. Many just what the current price is. Dan kemp, many thank you. The Uk Government will this week consider loosening Travel Restrictions for travellers from the eu and the us. Any such move would be a boost to the troubled Tourism Sector and help to reopen the uk to mass foreign travel. The ft is reporting ministers are separately looking at removing france from the newly created amber plus category, which forces travellers from the uk to quarantine on their return. Meanwhile, germany has listed spain as a high incidence area, due to concerns about a spike in covid infections. So travellers arriving back into germany who arent fully vaccinated will have quarantine. Heres Eric Dresin, Secretary General of the European Travel agents and Tour Operators associations, on germanys decision. This is a sad decision, if i may say like that. There is already about 200, 250,000 like that. There is already about 200,250,000 german people in spain today. So first of all, this is a keyissue today. So first of all, this is a key issue for them, to consider how they can travel back. Now, of course, you have a lot of people who planned their holidays for spain. And for sure, there will be changes in their plan. Maybe not massively, depending if they are fully vaccinated. But for sure many people will reconsider their Destination. Lets get some of the days other news. Surging demand for Uk Houses will last well into 2022, as buyers continue to look for more room after being cooped up during the pandemic, says property website zoopla. A search for space has pushed up the average price of a house by 7. 3 over the past year, reaching a new high of £230,000.

Showers continue across scotland, merging with the new system from the west. That combination again could produce some torrential downpours. It is not going to be called across the board. Into tomorrow, low pressure still firmly in charge. A few more isobars in the charts. Not much wind in the centre of this low. Any of those torrential downpours will be slow moving. So again in scotland there is the risk of some flash flooding. For england, wales and Northern Ireland there will be some heavy showers. Some sunshine in between. Some of that will be thundery. A windier day than it has been. This is the average wind speed. The gusts around the showers will be 30 to 40 mph. Temperatures disappointing that the state in july. As we move from wednesday to thursday, the low pressure pushes towards the North Sea. More isobars. The wind will strengthen from the North West as we go through the latter part of the day. You can see what is happening on thursday. We still have some rain in scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland. Forthe Northern England and Northern Ireland. For the rest of england and wales, a drier day. More rain coming our way in the South West. A new area of low pressure joins the south of the country. It will turn windier.

Tom dean, who contracted Covid 19 twice, won the final, with Duncan Scott completing The One two. But for the host nation japan, Shock And Sadness as Naomi Osaka crashed out of the tennis in the third round. Lets cross to the bbc Sports Centre and speak to chethan parthak, whos been following all the action. A big shock with Naomi Osaka knocked out in the fourth round . A major upset. Osaka carrying the weight of a nation on her shoulder. She made history by becoming the first Tennis Player to light the cauldron at an olympic Opening Ceremony. Untilthis cauldron at an olympic Opening Ceremony. Until this point in the fourth round she looked like she was dealing with pressure really well. Remember Naomi Osaka had pulled out of the French Open and had not gone to wimbledon either, choosing to focus on her mental health. She talked about her anxiety and depression. She lost in Straight Sets in little over an hour. Osakas record on hard courts is formidable, winning 25 of her last 26 matches on the service. She is a defending australian open winner, defending us open champion. This was unexpected. Her opponent is not a player to be taken lightly. She lost to Ash Barty in an open final. She looked to be handling the sense of occasion really well and now the question will be housed she can respond to this going forwards as she aims to defend her us open title. She this going forwards as she aims to defend her us open title. Defend her us open title. She did seak to defend her us open title. She did speak to the defend her us open title. She did speak to the media defend her us open title. She did speak to the media afterwards. I defend her us open title. She did i speak to the media afterwards. One reason she withdrew from the French Open was she did not like doing Media Conferences. She open was she did not like doing Media Conferences. Open was she did not like doing Media Conferences. She was told it would not Media Conferences. She was told it would rrot be Media Conferences. She was told it would not be acceptable. Media conferences. She was told it would not be acceptable. She i Media Conferences. She was told it would not be acceptable. She has i would not be acceptable. She has been speaking in the last hour, saying i definitely feel there was a lot of pressure for this. Maybe because i have not played at the olympics before and for the first year it all got a bit much. Really honest as soccer always is. She is one of the most likeable Tennis Players on the tour. Still only 23. She will look to grow and learn from what happened stop she is the face of the olympics. That is a lot of expectation. She was candidly honest. She said she did not know how to deal with it in the windy conditions. It all came to a head as she was beaten in Straight Sets. Its been a good day so farfor Team Gb more on that from sarah In Tokyo in a moment. How are they getting on in the taekwondo . Tae kwon do has been mixed so far for Team Gb. They had come agonisingly close to getting Gold Medals. We got silver in The End. Jadejones went out in the opening round. At the moment, their hopes are on the anchor from liverpool, who is in the semifinals. Bianca. She beat her because E Opponent 177. She beat her because E Opponent 17 7. Her opponent from kazakhstan. She is really confident character. This is already a fantastic game for Team Gb, ten Medals in total so far by day four of the olympics. That is a best for a british team in the history of the games and the highest number of Gold Medals for britain at that point. I would just add that andy Singles Champion quite over, he is through to the quarterfinals with his partner. To the quarterfinals with his artner. ~ ,. , sadness for Naomi Osaka but, for the tiny island of bermuda, huge celebrations as they win their first ever Gold Medal. With more on that and the rest of the day four action so far, heres the bbc� s Sarah Mulkerrins In Tokyo. What a morning it was In Tokyo for the Island Nation of bermuda a first olympic Gold Medal for them as Florida Duffy won the Womens Triathlon. Flora duffy. The tropical storm that hit tokyo was no problem for her. They had a delayed start but once she got in and got through her swim and navigated the Slippery Roads on the bike around tokyo, she was The One who was able to pull clear on Her10 Km Run to win olympic gold. Such a good result for her. She has two World Titles already. She had been a dominant force in the sport but she has been struggling with injury, she stepped away from the sport. She didnt quite know whether this Olympic Dream would happen for her. When she crossed the line and held her hands aloft and celebrated, you could see the joy and the relief etched on her face. Meanwhile it has been a brilliant morning in the Swimming Pool as well. We had fourfinals, a great morning for great britain. Tom dean winning gold in the mens 200 Metres Freestyle and his compatriot Duncan Scott coming second, just a short margin behind him. Duncan scott was the fastest man in the world this year going into the final but it was Tom Dean, with a look of complete shock afterwards, won gold. Interestingly, he caught covid twice in the Build Up to this and he was wondering how it would affect him as he struggled physically at times with it. A great morning for him. Then two really good results in the womens. Kaylee mckeown from australia, she set an olympic record as she won the 100 Metres Backstroke and then what a story the 17 year old from alaska, lydia jacoby, she was the Surprise Winner in the womens100 Metres Breaststroke, that is the first time that a swimmer from alaska has won olympic gold. Some olympics events have had to be rescheduled due to the tropical storm bringing strong winds and Heavy Rain to japans East Coast. The surfing final which was due to be held on wednesday has been brought forward to today. Other events, including the Womens Triathlon, have taken place in difficult conditions. Of choshi, on the East Coast, things could have been worse. You wouldnt necessarily know it from the scene behind me here but this typhoon 8, as its called here injapan, has actually been downgraded in the last few hours to a tropical storm. It is now tracking northwards along the coast here. It has changed direction quite dramatically in the last few hours. Weve been talking about the heat here In Tokyo for the last few days. Its been incredibly hot and humid and thats been affecting athletes in things like the Mens Triathlon and the tennis, in particular. There was worry the heat was then going to be followed by a massive storm hitting the city, causing further disruption. It looks like that now is not going to happen. The storm is about 200 nautical miles off the coast here, heading north towards miyagi, and the city of sendai, which is also holding olympic events, so those could be disrupted. Some of the events this morning In Tokyo have been affected by torrential rain but the city itself is now going to be passed by by the storm and thats good news. The other good news is it has brought the temperature in and around tokyo down by a few degrees and a lot of athletes are going to be very relieved by that. Here in the uk, prime Minister Borisjohnson has promised to build a Safer Society with fewer victims as he published what the government calls its Beating Crime Plan. The document published while parliament is in recess outlines a strategy which among other things expands programmes to tackle Drug Misuse and increases Satellite Monitoring of recently released burglars and robbers. But the Police Federation said the system needs funding not gimmicks. The bbc� s home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports. The government says its Beating Crime Plan is about increasing public trust in the criminalJustice System. Ambitiously, the Prime Minister claimed it would lead to less crime, fewer victims and a safer country. One eye catching policy is to allow everyone in england and wales to be able to look up a named and contactable Police Officer responsible for their area. There are also plans to expand project adder, which tackles Drug Dealers and improves services for people with addictions. Another proposal is to do more 24 Hour Monitoring of burglars and robbers after they are released from prison, using tags with satellite technology. This way their movements can be mapped against new crimes being investigated by police. The Police Federation, which represents Rank And File officers, and is furious about a proposed pay freeze, said it didnt need gimmicks but genuine investment. In a report also published today, Thejustice Committee of mps has warned that cuts to legal aid have hollowed out key parts of the Justice System and this is putting fairness at risk. Daniel sandford, Bbc News. The number of people testing positive for coronavirus in the uk has fallen for a sixth day in a row. The latest figures show that almost 25,000 new cases were recorded on monday down from around 47,000 a week ago. Staying in the uk for a moment, and the prime Minister And Chancellor are out of isolation having spent more than a week working remotely. Borisjohnson and Rishi Sunak both went into Self Isolation onjuly18th, the day before most covid rules were lifted in england, after they came into contact with Health Secretary sajid javid, who tested positive for coronavirus. North and South Korea have restored a Communications Hotline between them which was cut off by pyongyang more than a year ago. A statement issued by the government in the south said the move followed an exchange of numerous letters between the leaders of the two countries. In total, there are 48 hotlines between north and South Korea, but the main one is at the border. Our correspondent Laura Bicker explains what these hotlines are for. They are there to avoid any kind of tension, they are bad to avoid conflict. They were set up back in 1971. Remember these two countries are officially still at war. When the fighting ended, it ended an armistice, not a peace treaty. This today is the anniversary of the armistice signing. On the anniversary, those Communication Lines have been reopened. Last year, lastjune, North Korea turned its back on the south. Not only did it cut Communication Lines, it blew up the inter korean liaison office. This office was built at the border specifically for the two sides to talk. Having turned its back on the south, this happened after the relationship between pyongyang and washington. Remember all that hope when kimJong Un met Donald Trump that there would be a nuclear deal, all of that fell through and so did North And South relations. They began to sour. In the last year, there has been very little contact between the two countries. Now we understand that since april there have been a number of letters between Seouls President Moon and the North Korean leader, kim Jong Un. We understand those letters have been about things like covid response but also about re establishing those Communication Lines. Today, a short conversation was had between the person manning the South Korean line and the person manning the North Korean line. We hear, the person on the South Korean side said it was good to be talking to the north once again. Stay with us on Bbc News. Still to come. Pledging to unite a diverse country canadas first indigenous Governor General is sworn into office.

Alok sharma been speaking to the bbc� s environment correspondentjustin rowlatt. How sure are you that the funding pledged for developing countries will be delivered . Back in 2009, the developed nations, the donor nations said that by the year 2020 they would be putting forward a 100 Billion a year to support developing economies cope with the impacts of climate change. The latest figures show certainly back in 2018 we were still some way short. This 100 Billion figure, i cannot tell you how much of a totemic figure it is, it is absolutely a matter of trust. We must deliver on the 100 Billion now. This is Bbc News, the latest headlines. Day four at the olympics and the Medals keep coming for Team Gb. Theyve picked up a Gold And Silver in the mens 200 Metres Freestyle. North and South Korea have announced that theyve restored a cross border hotline, a year after pyongyang severed ties.

In the financial misdeeds and alleged crimes came to the four last year, he was unceremoniously sacked. He denies all wrongdoing and said the money invested was not, as prosecutors allege, money that was intended for church charitable work and he says there will be secretaries of state in the vatican that were informed of all the investments that were done in the land and property.

The inuit rights advocate, Mary Simon, has become canadas first indigenous Governor General. At her swearing in ceremony in ottawa, she pledged to Build Bridges across the diverse backgrounds and cultures in canada. At a time when the country is reckoning with its past. Courtney bembridge reports. Do you swear that you will well and truly serve her majesty Queen Elizabeth ii in the office of Keeper Of The Great Seal of canada . I do. With those two simple words, history was made and Mary Simon became canadas first indigenous Governor General. Today is an important and historic day for canada. But my story to these chambers began very far from here. I was born maryjeannie may in arctic quebec, now known as nunavut. My inuit name is ningiukudluk and, Prime Minister, it means � bossy little old lady. She will serve as the official representative of Queen Elizabeth, Canadas Head of state. Shes already had a virtual appointment with the monarch, but he appointment comes at a time when the country is grappling with its colonial past. This year, hundreds of unmarked graves have been found at former residential schools where indigenous children were taken after being forcibly separated from theirfamilies. The schools, often places of neglect and abuse, were run by the catholic Church And Part of a larger colonial policy to erase indigenous language and culture. In recent weeks, more than a dozen churches have been burned across canada, and statues toppled of Queen Elizabeth and queen victoria, who reigned over the country when the first residential schools were opened in the late 1800s. Mary simon was a student at a day school similar to the residential schools, and says her appointment marks an important step forward on the long Part Path towards reconciliation. To meet this moment as Governor General, i will strive to hold together the attention of the past i will strive to hold together the tension of the past with the promise of the future. She was nominated by prime Ministerjustin Trudeau after the sudden resignation of her predecessor amid bullying allegations. This is a big place, this is the diverse place. And so we need people like ms simon. Because we need people who Build Bridges and bring us together. A message of unity from the Prime Minister, but his Minority Government is increasingly butting heads with opposition parties, so one of Mary Simons first official tasks may be to dissolve Parliament And Trigger snap elections as early as september.

Great britains first medal of the day came in the Womens Triathlon, where Georgia Taylor Brown took silver. She was beaten into gold by more than a minute by bermudas Flora Duffy, who made history here, winning the Island Nations first gold at an olympics, and first medal of any kind since a bronze in boxing at the montreal games in 1976. For Taylor Brown, second was a great achievement too. She revealed afterwards she was on crutches just 12 weeks ago, and spent part of the Bike Stage of the race with a flat tyre. She still managed to cross the line in second. In the last 15 minutes, huge disappointment for britains Bianca Walkden in the taekwondo. Shes lost her semi final in the above 67 Kilogram Category to South Koreas lee dabin. Walkden, from liverpool, was a second away from the final before a kick to the head. She still has a chance to win bronze. Its similar to what happened to Bradley Sinden and Lauren Williams in theirfinals, where they were seconds away from gold. Agony for Bianca Walkden. So close but not to be. That is all your support for now. Andy murray and Joe Salisbury are through to the quarterfinals of the mens doubles in the tennis. Back to you. Thank you.

A new report by the Education Select Committee says the government is only able to make a best guess about the standard of education for children who are currently taught at home. Ministers say theyre committed to introducing a national register soon. The conservative Mp Robert Halfon is chair of the uks parliamentary education committee, and says more needs to be done. The astonishing thing about all this is that there is no data, no information properly collected by the Department For Education in terms of how many Home Educated Children there are, what their outcomes are and what support they need to be given. That is counter productive because we know that despite the efforts of a number of parents who do a remarkable job for their children in home education, we know that many parents are struggling. The average Uk House price has reached a new high of 230,700, according to property website zoopla. The record which is 30 more than the 2007 peak, is said to be driven by a shortage of houses coming onto the market, with the number of homes for sale down a quarter in the first half of the year compared to 2020.

Thank you for joining us former Health Secretary Ken Clarke will give evidence at a public inquiry investigating how more than a,000 haemophiliacs were treated with contaminated Blood Products in the 1970s and 1980s. Thousands more may have been infected after Blood Transfusions in whats been described as one of the worse tragedies in nhs history. Lord clarke will be the first former Health Minister who was serving at the time to be questioned. For more than 3,000 Car Workers at swindons Honda Plant, this week is their last at the plant. The japanese Car Maker has been a vital part of the Areas Economy for 35 years, but by friday the last vehicle will have rolled of the production line. Even though the closure has been two years in the pipeline, many are still looking forjobs that match their skills, and the bbc� s Dave Harvey has been hearing from some of them. It felt like my world had just collapsed. I like working at honda. When they announced it, we were on an apprenticeship as well. It was just like my world had collapsed. It was a huge shock. For me personally, i felt i had got my foot on the ladder in terms of a career i was really interested in. So it sort of knocked us for six, really so it sort of knocked us for six, really it so it sort of knocked us for six, really. It was quite a blow. It has been a long three years for thousands of honda workers trying to find work. Midway through their apprenticeships they have now been taken on by a new firm making Cutting Edge Recycling machines, eager to snap up staff with the honda track record. The guys are really great, really enthusiastic, always willing to be hands on. Always wanting to be learning things, training. They crave learning and continuous improvement. Its fantastic. It is completely different to honda. For example, on monday i was at the university of Birmingham Setting up a research rate. It is a completely different job. It is not even comparable. Very ositive, it is not even comparable. Very positive, honestly. I think i am in a better place now. With the promise of further training and even Degree Level qualifications, i am really happy, honestly. For the other 3000 workers in this vast factory, their fortunes lay with the union, Negotiating Redundancy packages to keep them going while they look for work. They are unprecedented in my view. Ive not experienced anything like it in this industry or any other industry. It equates to about six and a half weeks for every year itself. It is uncapped, unlike the statutory minimum. And there are additional bonuses wrapped up within that. They will walk out with very lucrative Redundancy Packages. Especially if you have been here for a long time. Honda at swindon is surrounded by trading estates. Small factories and several big warehouse operations. Soon, thousands of former Car Workers will be here looking for work. The current conditions in the market. The current conditions in the market, there are more jobs than people the biggest challenge for these guys is going to be their salary expectations. We had a conversation with we had a conversation a Production Operative worked there for more than 20 years, and he was on more than £20 an hour. He is probably looking realistically at anything from Minimum Wage to up to £10 an hour. So soi so i think there will be a bit of a reality so i think there will be a bit of a Reality Check for a lot of the hyundai Reality Check for a lot of the hyundai workers. For michaelandjim, a bright future. But they have hundreds of friends are still searching forjobs. Dave harvey reporting. There are 3500 people there. They may not there are 3500 people there.

America has about 2,500 forces there, to help iraq fight the islamic state group. This comes as us forces are ending their mission in afghanistan too, and Mr Biden tries to wind down the wars that were launched after the 9 11 attacks. Iraqs Prime Minister was at the white house on monday, as Mr Biden explained the role of us troops in the future. They will continue to be available, they will continue to train, assist and deal with isis as it arrives. But we are not going to be there in a Combat Mission. More burglars and thieves will be made to wear electronic tags on their release from prison, under a new strategy set out by the government to reduce crime in england and wales. Borisjohnson will launch the programme on his first day out of isolation. The measures include making it easier for police to stop and search suspects. The plan has been criticised by the Police Federation and labour say the government is trying to fix problems its created itself. Our home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports. The government says its Beating Crime Plan is about increasing public trust in the criminalJustice System. Ambitiously, the Prime Minister claimed it would lead to less crime, fewer victims and a safer country. One eye catching policy is to allow everyone in england and wales to be able to look up a named and contactable Police Officer responsible for their area. There are also plans to expand project adder, which tackles Drug Dealers and improves services for people with addictions. Another proposal is to do more 2a Hour Monitoring of burglars and robbers after they are released from prison, using tags with satellite technology. This way their movements can be mapped against new crimes being investigated by police. The Police Federation, which represents Rank And File officers, and is furious about a proposed pay freeze, said it didnt need gimmicks but genuine investment. In a report also published today, Thejustice Committee of mps has warned that cuts to legal aid have hollowed out key parts of the Justice System and this is putting fairness at risk. Daniel sandford, Bbc News. Im joined now by kit malthouse, minister of state for crime and policing. Welcome to you. Thank you for being with us. I think lots of people will be interested in these league tables for their local Police Force, to see how well they are doing. What repercussions will there be for that force if they are not doing well . Well, obviously the local police and crime commissioner has to answer once every four years to the local electorate how performances in their force on crime, and also the customer service basis. We want to put out there some comparative information about response times and quality of response, notjust on 999 but on nonemergency 101. We know very often that one or one number is the start of a victim journey. We absolutely have to get it right to make sure they have confidence in the system. We also want to make sure they answer the phone with quality information. That they keep victims in particular informed about cases. And we think by putting forces and Performance Side by side, we will have a healthy element of competition and that forces will all rise to the standards of the best. Did you consult the Police Federation on your plans . Well, now. Obviously the federation on your plans . Well, now. Obviously the Police Federation on your plans . Well, now. Obviously the Police Federation I Federation on your plans . Well, now. Obviously the Police Federation are i obviously the Police Federation are effectively a trade union. They are a representative of the workforce. While we do have very close conversation with them and we talk to them constantly about their concerns, and indeed raise things with them as well, we didnt consult and particularly on that issue. Not least because it is a matter for police and crime commissioners and for chief constables about how the forces performing, and ourjob is to hold them to for performance. The Police Federation, who represent the Rank And File, they are not very impressed with these ideas. They say they need genuine investment. How much genuine investment, new money, is going into these plans . Is going into these plans . Obviously the last two is going into these plans . Obviously the last two years is going into these plans . Obviously the last two years have is going into these plans . Obviously the last two years have seen is going into these plans . Obviously the last two years have seen very i the last two years have seen very significant financial settlements. Increases in money for the police. Not least to raise the number of Police Officers. We are touching now nearly halfway through our 20,000 extra Police Officers that we are recruiting over the Base Figure back in 2019, which is great news. And alongside that there is significant Investment And Support mechanisms around the police. We are also seeing a rising Police Staff that support them as well. We hope it is a re energising, if you like, of the policing mission, as well as command im quite surprised by the Police Federation, because they sit on the national Policing Board talking about these issues with us as as focusing on serious crimes, where we have sadly seen a rise in recent years, but we are winning on the mission and we want to go further. So theres lots going on. There is big growth, big so theres lots going on. There is big qiowth, big investment, so theres lots going on. There is big growth, big investment, big settlements that have come through. We hope that will result in, as yOu Said in your package, fewer victims, less crime and a safer country. Lanthem less crime and a safer country. When Ou Sa less crime and a safer country. When yOu Say theres less crime and a safer country. When yOu Say theres going less crime and a safer country. When yOu Say theres going to less crime and a safer country. When yOu Say theres going to be less crime and a safer country. When yOu Say theres going to be big growth in police numbers, and you just replacing the 20,000 Police Officers that have been cut over the years, and you are not even going to replace those. The numbers are going to be 9000 extra Police Officers. There is still going to be a massive shortfall and where they were. And as yOu Say, that is directly responsible for the rising crime that we have seen . I responsible for the rising crime that we have seen . Responsible for the rising crime that we have seen . I dont think it is directly responsible. That we have seen . I dont think it is directly responsible. And that we have seen . I dont think it is directly responsible. And youvej is directly responsible. And youve got to remember that back in 2010 we were policing an entirely different economic circumstances. Straight after the worst price the country had seen since the second world war. Crime was falling significantly. And even then there wasnt a direct connection between the two. I was deputy mayor for london in 2008, when Police Officer numbers were at an all time high, yet knife crime was going through the roof. So the correlation might be there but the Causation Isnt necessarily so. Now crime has changed over the last few years. The Prime Minister believes there arent enough police on the streets, which is why we are recruiting a hell of a lot more to get back to where we were. A number of forces will be above where they were in 2010. Look, the key thing from our point of view is we have to respond in an agile way to changes in crime. And it does change. It adapts, it moves, we see new phenomenon appearing. Over the past ten or 12 years, for example, we have seen a big growth in online crime, for child sexual abuse, fraud, cyber. We are signalling that in the plan today. As well as focusing on some of those crimes that assail our neighbourhoods, burglary, robbery, car crime, and murderand burglary, robbery, car crime, and Murder And County lines, where we are seeing significant success already. We are trying to illustrate to everybody there is big investment going on, masses of activity. We are pushing hard on this because we know it is a priority for british people. How concerned are you by the relationship between the Home Secretary, priti patel, and the Police Force . The Police Federation delivered a vote of no confidence in her a few days ago. Are you worried about that . It is her a few days ago. Are you worried about that . About that . It is obviously unfortunate. About that . It is obviously unfortunate. Im about that . It is obviously j unfortunate. Im surprised about that . It is obviously i unfortunate. Im surprised the Police Federation went as far as they did. Thus far we have had a very good and constructive relationship. Just a week before i was sitting around the table on the police and on board with the Home Secretary and representatives of the Police Federation and other associations talking about what more we can do on police well being. But we can do on police wellbeing. But it we can do on police well being. But it suggests a fundamental breakdown, the relationship, between the home office, the Home Secretary and the police, doesnt it . Police, doesnt it . Well, i hope not. The decision police, doesnt it . Well, i hope not. The decision on police, doesnt it . Well, i hope not. The decision on pay police, doesnt it . Well, i hope not. The decision on pay was i police, doesnt it . Well, i hope not. The decision on pay was a | police, doesnt it . Well, i hope i not. The decision on pay was a tough one. Very hard to balance the welfare of the private sector against supporting a public sector. These are very difficult decisions. These are very difficult decisions. The police had a settlement of the year before, which was good. I hope we can return to normality in the future, albeit i realise the anger and disappointment, that we can get on with the key mission of fighting crime together. Kit on with the key mission of fighting crime together. On with the key mission of fighting crime together. Kit malthouse, thank ou for crime together. Kit malthouse, thank you for your crime together. Kit malthouse, thank you for your time.

Anthony koffi, an experienced athletics winning coach from Ivory Coast tells us what it takes to run a 100m race. Always a great watch. Now the weather with carol kirkwood. Good morning. The weather in the next few days remains unsettled. Some torrential Thundery Downpours leading to the potential for flash flooding. In between, some sunny spells. Also some gusty winds at times. That is certainly the forecast for today. After a bright start in the east you can see this Cloud Polling and from the west. It has already produced heavy and Thundery Downpours and parts of Southern England. This front will move east through the day. Low pressure firmly in charge. Not many isobars the chart. Any showers will be slow moving. For many it is a dry start with a few showers. The heaviest moving across Southern England and parts of the midlands. They will develop further and more widely through the afternoon for the north midlands, North Wales and northwards. Some could be heavy and thundery. In scotland there is the chance of some localised flooding. Temperatures ranging from about 15 to maybe 22 or 23. Down a touch on the 20 sixes and 27s We Saw yesterday. This evening and overnight some of the showers will fade in the south. More will come in from the west. As they continue across scotland, eventually merging with the new system coming in from the west, that combination again should produce some torrential downpours. It will not be called across the board. Into tomorrow, low pressure still firmly in charge. A few more isobars in the chart. Not much wind in the centre of this low. Any of those torrential downpours will be slow moving. Again in scotland, there is the risk of some flash flooding. For england, wales and Northern Ireland they will be some heavy showers. Some sunshine in between. It is going to be a windier day than it has been. These white circles represent the average wind speed. Gusts around the showers will be 30 to a0 mph. Temperatures disappointing for the stage injuly. As we move from wednesday into thursday, the low pressure starts to push towards the North Sea. There are more isobars. The wind will present from the north as we go through the course of the latter part of the day. You can see what is happening on thursday. We still have some rain in scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland. For the rest of england and wales, a drier day. You can see what is happening in the South West. More rain. A new area of low pressure looks like its going to join the south of the country and it will also turn a bit when youre. Bit windier. This is Bbc News with the latest headlines.
