It can mean so mUch for people, and i hope people see women now as an event that is really high class, there was some amazing paddling oUt there. And a change to Urday-night'>SatUrday Night tv. Its Goodbye Tojodie Whittaker as dr who, and goodbye, to itv� s the X Factor. Good afternoon. Englands depUty chief medical officer, jonathan Van Tam, has told the bbc that the Covid Vaccination Programme has saved aroUnd 60,000 lives across the coUntry, and prevented aroUnd 22 Million new infections. He annoUnced the figUres from pUblic Health England, while answering qUestions on vaccines from listeners to Bbc Newsbeat. Lets hear what he had to say theres some new data coming oUt today. Im going to break the news here. I dont think its oUt actUally Until another few minUtes, bUt the latest pUblic Health England analysis shows that becaUse of the vaccines and becaUse of this massive third Wave Weve had, actUally what the vaccines have done is theyve prevented in total, since we got them, 22 Million cases of Covid Infection and 60,000 deaths. So, yoU know, thats trUly massive. Lets talk to robert west, a member of the independent groUp lets Take A Look at the latest coronavirUs figUres for the Uk a fUrther 31,117 new infections have been recorded. And that 85 people have died within 28 days of a positive test. 0verall, more than 46. 7 million people have received their first dose of a covid vaccine, with over 37 million, having received two doses. Lets talk to robert coUgh. FigUres going Up again, not what people were hoping for a given the nUmbers of days weve had where fingers have dUtch figUres have been going down . We had phenomenal news for a week, every day going down, bUt thats very UnUsUal. Its best not to look at the day on date changes. If we bring Up a figUre that shows how figUres have been looking over the last while, the news is still good even thoUgh we are seeing UctUations-day-today'>FlUctUations Day Today which is be expected. The 31,000 Cases Weve had reported today is still lower than the 38,000 cases reported a week ago and thats a better measUre to look at. Every week, look at where the nUmbers are going in the longer term rather than day to day. In the news is still good with regards to people going in hospitals, seeing 930 its people going in hospitals, seeing 930 its been hovering aroUnd 900 the last week, maybe the growth is slowing down a bit, We Saw cases fall in scotland, than ten days later her hospitalisation started to tUrn, which is what we are looking for in england. 15 tUrn, which is what we are looking for in england for in england. Is that really not the crUcial for in england. Is that really not the crUcial fixtUre for in england. Is that really not the crUcial fixtUre we for in england. Is that really not the crUcial fixtUre we shoUld for in england. Is that really not the crUcial fixtUre we shoUld be| the crUcial fixtUre we shoUld be keeping an eye on, as well as yoU say, the longer term trends over may be seven days are fUrther than that was back bUt also looking at the nUmbers of hospitalisations . Its that link between infections and nUmbers going into hospital thats really critical. Really critical. AbsolUtely. It tells Us whats really critical. AbsolUtely.

It tells Us whats really going on with the cases, it tells Us aboUt sickness, people testing positive, and the pressUre that the pandemic is pUtting on the nhs. So the admissions give Us so mUch information aboUt whats going on in the pandemic, bUt itjUst takes a little Bit Longerfor the pandemic, bUt itjUst takes a little bit longer for that data to come in, so people will have to wait an extra week or ten days before they can validate those exciting or terrifying nUmbers they see on a day to day basis. Terrifying nUmbers they see on a daytoday basis. Terrifying nUmbers they see on a daytoday basis. Have we been able to cive a daytoday basis. Have we been able to give a clear daytoday basis.

When yoU ask all the experts in the field, theres plenty of reasons and hypotheses that people are advancing, bUt we dont know for sUre what caUsed it, and i mUst say the effect of people going on Holiday And Night clUbs opening, they still need to play throUgh in they still need to play throUgh in the data and we still need to be sUre exactly how fast the epidemic is falling. I think people are confident the last week has been a genUine fall, so the qUestion is, will that fall continUe, stabilise, or go back Up . We will that fall continUe, stabilise, or go back Up .

Professorjohnson Van Tam Urged people to get more vaccinations, and holidays abroad may be dependent on the jabs in the fUtUre. Its a problem faced by many in the fUtUre. Lets talk to robert west, a member of the independent groUp of scientists offering the Government Advice on pandemics known as spi b. Hes also professor of Uman-psychology'>HUman Psychology at University-college'>University College london. Hello to yoU, thank yoU forjoining Us. First of all, jonathan Van Tams assertion that 60,000 lives across england have been saved as a resUlt of the vaccination programme, 22 Million new infections have been prevented is it possible to calcUlate accUrately that kind of stUff . I calcUlate accUrately that kind of stUff . , , calcUlate accUrately that kind of stUff . ,. , stUff . I mean, pretty accUrately, we now have a stUff .

I mean, pretty accUrately, we now have a lot of information aboUt| now have a lot of information aboUt what the Infection Rates are Under certain conditions when, yoU know, yoUve got a restriction at a certain level, and we know what the infection, Hospitalisation Ratio is, we know at the Mortality Rate is. That has changed dramatically. Weve certainly not been able to open Up the economy in the way that we had if it werent for the vaccine. {lila if it werent for the vaccine. 0k, vaccines its if it werent for the vaccine. 0k, vaccines its clear if it werent for the vaccine. 0k, vaccines its clear are if it werent for the vaccine. 0k, vaccines its clear are working. BUt theres still lots of hesitancy oUt there, lots of people who dont want to take it. We know with the french are doing, a big old stick yoU will be able to go eat in a restaUrant or go to the cinema, and so on. In america, they had varioUs measUres inclUding lotto wins, yoU coUld win money on the lottery, and so On And so forth to control people. Now they are becoming more aggressive it seems, and President Biden has asserted federal workers will have to have the vaccine if they want to retUrn to work. YoUre a professor of psychology, whats the best way . The best way . Ideally if yoU want Eo Le to the best way . Ideally if yoU want peeple to do the best way .

Ideally if yoU want people to do something, yoU want to get them on board with the idea of doing it. YoU want people to be intrinsically motivated becaUse i think its a good idea. And i think the problem we faced and other coUntries have had this as well, particUlarly as yoUve got yoUnger people getting involved is that Uation'>Risk Benefit EqUation has not been properly explained to them, and i think weve still got a long way to go in this coUntry in terms of making sUre that yoUng people have the information they need to make an informed Decision before yoU start getting into these sorts of extrinsic rewards, in effect pUnishing them for not taking Up the Vaccine Or Offering incentives to do so. We are a long way from yoUng people being able to make an informed Decision. People being able to make an informed Decision. Really . I mean professor. Informed Decision. Really .

We know from the figUres that 60,000 lives saved in the Uk, 20 Million infections prevented the evidence is oUt there, at The End of the day their people who simply do not want to get this.

No. Those figUres dont really mean anything | figUres dont really mean anything to a yoUng person who is making a personal risk benefit calcUlation. What they know and what theyve been told with some degree of accUracy is that the virUs is something that mainly affects other people, older people, people with pre existing conditions. What they dont know is what their own personal risk is, and what their own personal risk is, and what theyve also not been fUlly explained is the risks of the vaccine. When i do that to yoUng people i know, Family Members or friends, yoU give them the figUre, then the Uation'>Benefit Risk EqUation for them as an individUal is so strong and obvioUs that they go, 0k, them as an individUal is so strong and obvioUs that they go, ok, i Understand it now, why did nobody say that before . Its not that most of these yoUng people are anti vaxxers or anything like that, bUt theyre getting all sorts of confUsing bastions Democrat Messages from the government and information. The government needs to do more to improve the clarity of the messaging from medical science. In america, companies like apple, facebook, twitter is a yoU wont be able to come back to work if yoU havent had a vaccine. ShoUld british bUsinesses be doing the same think was yellow i dont think so. We arent at that point. Especially when yoUre trying to encoUrage or sUpport people to do things, as i said in the beginning. Its sUpport people to do things, as i said in the beginning. Said in the beginning.

Its mUch i better to do it from a perspective of getting them to Understand why its important, and then for them to want to do it rather than for them to feel cajoled into doing it. There are all sorts of negative conseqUences to this approach, not least people who will gain the system, bUt it also caUses Unfairness'>Resentment And Unfairness is in any qUalities. And its the last thing yoU shoUld do. We arent even close to being in a sitUation where we woUld need to do that.

The impact of Climate Change is already being felt across the Uk, with more rainfall, sUnshine and higher temperatUres. These are the findings of the latest state of the Uk climate report, from the Met Office. It says that 2020 was the third warmest year since 1884. It was also the fifth wettest. In fact, six of the ten wettest years have been since 1998. Last year was also the eighth sUnniest on record. The experts say overrall in the space of 30 years, the Uk has become 0. 9 celsiUs warmer and 6 wetter. The reports lead aUthor, mike kendon, warns we are going to see more and more extreme weather sUch as heatwaves and floods as the climate continUes to warm. With the latest, heres oUr science correspondent, rebecca morelle. Dramatic changes in oUr skies. In 2020, the Uk experienced a year of extremes. From storms in febrUary, which caUsed chaos across the coUntry, to a Ummer-heatwave'>SUmmer Heatwave where temperatUres sweltered above 3a degrees for six consecUtive days, and rain in october with the Uks wettest day on record. It is all charted in an annUal assessment of the climate which foUnd the Uk is getting wetter, warmer and sUnnier. We can see very clearly from oUr observations that the Uks climate is already changing, so climate Change Isnt Something that will happen in 2050 or something we need to worry aboUt towards The End of the centUry, we are seeing this very clearly in oUr observations now. The report compared the most recent three decades with the 30 years before and foUnd that on average the Uk was 0. 9 degrees hotter. For rainfall, the coUntry was on average 6 wetter and 2020 was the eighth sUnniest year recorded in the last 100 years. New defences are Under constrUction, like this tidal barrier in lincolnshire, to cope with fUtUre storm sUrges. BUt the reality is flooding is having a devastating impact now with some homes being flooded again and again, changes that seem small having a big effect on peoples lives. Whats interesting aboUt this report is theres lots of data in there, so theres lots of Ure-records'>TemperatUre Records and percentage changes, bUt actUally what we are seeing are the impacts the impact to Us as hUmans, to oUr bUsinesses, to ecology across the Uk. It really is being played oUt in front of oUr eyes. Come rain or shine, the world will be heading to glasgow later this year for the United-nations'>United Nations Ummit'>Climate SUmmit and well find oUt if governments can rise to the challenge of cUtting emissions to stop the worst effects of Climate Change. Right now, the elements show no signs of letting Up, with this weeks Flash Floods taking london by sUrprise. Scientists will continUe to track and analyse these events, bUt they warn that extremes are becoming the new norm. Rebecca morrelle, Bbc News. Im nowjoined by sirjohn armitt, who is the chair of the national infrastrUctUre commission. Thank yoU very mUch for being with Us. IjUst wonder as thank yoU very mUch for being with Us. I jUst wonder as a thank yoU very mUch for being with Us. IjUst wonder as a nation, are we anywhere near ready for this change in oUr UctUre'>Climate InfrastrUctUre wise . 0r Change in oUr UctUre'>Climate InfrastrUctUre wise . Or be able to deal with it . Wise . Or be able to deal with it . Are we wise . Or be able to deal with it . are we able kUdela we need to weve seen the impacts and weve been recommending the government now steps which can be taken to make small resilience towards this. For example, in terms of the hot Weather And Risk of droUght, we need to redUce the leakage from oUr systems and bUild new capacity for storage of water, and we need to try and redUce the amoUnt that we Use oUrselves when it comes to floods, we recommended the national standard for the coUntry of resilience against flooding and a rolling six Year Programme of investment in flood protection. The government has recently annoUnced the five Year Programme, we think that needs to be done every five years, so there needs to be a programme with dealing with relief from floods. Of coUrse we are trying to redUce emissions, steps are being taken with electrical vehicles redUcing the amoUnt of c02 which is going into the air, which will help Us to contain that increase in temperatUre. What the government needs to do is encoUrage and make sUre we have the infrastrUctUre in place so that we can Use those electric vehicles, and we need to make oUr Energy Systems resilient against these changes in the climate, and make sUre that thats in place. That can be done by regUlating demands that the Energy Companies demand throUgh Stress Testing that they are making sUre their infrastrUctUre will be fit and able to stand Up to these increasing extremes we are facing. Its not a once in a moment thing, we will have to fight with this over the next 2030 to fight with this over the next 20 30 years. To fight with this over the next 2030 years 2030 years. What yoU say consistently 2030 years. What yoU say consistently fight 2030 years. What yoU say consistently fight and 2030 years. What yoU say i consistently fight and strUggle 2030 years. What yoU say consistently fight and strUggle with this is part of the problem that, becaUse this is been going on for so long, Man Made Global Warming and the effects on oUr planet, its difficUlt for ordinary people, for many people to actUally see the effects of this Until it hits home . And its really only in the last few years, according to the met, that this is hitting home with mUch wetter sUmmers . We saw flooding and lots of areas aroUnd the coUntry, and with mUch more mild winters . Thats absolUtely right, the committee of Climate Change, the Met Office giving Us very clear 0ffice giving Us very clear scientific analysis to show that this is not something which will jUst go away, therefore we have to face Up to that with government, we have to face Up to that the operators of UctUre'>Infra StrUctUre have to face Up to it, we have to plan and prove the resilience of oUr systems, and we have to invest in that. We mUst make sUre theres as mUch focUs on maintenance for example, which often gets forgotten to start clearing oUt oUr drains as the first step we can do to make sUre we are redUcing the risk of flooding. It reqUires a whole series of actions, accommodation of government working with indUstry and a regUlator, and we as nUmbers of the pUblic doing oUr bit to make sUre we do what we can do, that we redUce the amoUnt of water that we perhaps need to Use, to redUce the impact of droUghts. At the same time, we switch to Using less heat in oUr homes or we recognise we need to change to electrical vehicles rather than patchell. We annoUnced new Use-gas-removal'>GreenhoUse Gas Removal Technologies Today which we feel we need to develop to scale, we need. So we can actUally report. Weve got a 30 Year Programme to ensUre that by 2050, we are fit for pUrpose, we all have a part to play in that, and that i think its something which yoUng people, as yoU mentioned in the earlier piece are increasingly recognising that we all have to play oUr part in this. Climate change is here and we have to make oUr Planet Fit for fUtUre for everyone. And we can do that, bUt it reqUires concerted efforts, otherwise continUoUs levels of investment. BUt we all have a part to play and we can keep on top of this, bUt its jUst continUoUs drive which we all Take Part in. JUst continUoUs drive which we all Take Part in Take Part in. YoU made that Ust'>Point Ust then, Take Part in. YoU made that point jUst then. It Take Part in. YoU made that point jUst then, it reqUires Take Part in. YoU made that point jUst then, it reqUires investment | Take Part in. YoU made that point| jUst then, it reqUires investment jUst then, it reqUires investment what woUld yoU say to those people who woUld argUe weve jUst borrowed half a trillion qUid to deal with the pandemic, weve got mUch more immediate problems and concerns, and that there are other things we need to worry aboUt. Frankly, this may be a problem in some peoples mines, it may not be, bUt its not a problem we shoUld be spending money on now . Dealing with all of this creates jobs, it creates opportUnity, it makes Us a fitter nation in every respect. It doesnt all have to be the governments money. At The End of the day, all money comes from the pUblic in one form or another, either we pay oUr taxes or we bUy things, we pay for oUr electricity. The regUlator is there to make sUre we get the right balance between investing for the fUtUre and the private sector, while at the same time dealing with the resilience thats needed it and keeping the bills at sensible proportions. We shoUldnt shy away from the fact that this will cost money, and we all have a part to play, we need to spend that money wisely and make sUre it spent sensibly. BUt we cant rUn away from this, these are opportUnities for the Uk to lead the world and create jobs, opportUnities for the Uk to lead the world and createjobs, and opportUnities for the Uk to lead the world and create jobs, and therefore we have to be Up for it. And i believe that with collaboration this isntjUst the government or the private sector, orjUst the civilian, we all have a part to play, and if the government takes the lead and gets this working, then we have a chance of dealing with this. Mi we have a chance of dealing with this. �. , this. All right, we will Leave It there, this. All right, we will Leave It there. Sir this. All right, we will Leave It there, sirjohn. This.

We have a new star at the olympics, she will be a Usehold-name'>HoUsehold Name for sUre in the next 2a hoUrs, becaUse Unisa-lee'>SUnisa Lee from Usa'>Team Usa has won the womens all aroUnd Gymnastics Event in the last hoUr or so. Its one of those events that everyone looks forward to becaUse of the sheer Talent And Skill thats so obvioUsly on display. And this event was Under qUite a lot of scrUtiny becaUse Simone Biles pUlled oUt of the competition, citing her mental health. BUt this is Unisa-lee'>SUnisa Lee, shes oUtstanding its the fifth time in a Row Weve seen a Us gymnast winning the event, shes only 18 years old, and shes made history for other reasons, as well. Shes become the first american from the hmong commUnity to win a Gold Medal at these olympic games. And while were talking aboUt Simone Biles, as well, the stadiUms here are empty, of coUrse, bUt Usa'>Team Usa had a lot of their Upport-staff'>SUpport Staff in the stands, and one of the loUdest voices yoU coUld hear was that of Simone Biles cheering on the team. Team gb has had a good day again today, with Mallory Franklin becoming only the Second British woman to win a medal in olympic canoe slalom, taking silver in the c1 class. The 27 year old is a former World Champion and mUltiple medallist at all levels, bUt had been denied a shot at Olympic Glory before the category was inclUded for the first time here. The other Big Story Here In Tokyo is whats happening with Us-infection'>CoronavirUs Infection rates. Theyve hit a new high, nearly 4,000 thats twice the daily level we were seeing here a week ago. 0lympic officials at a Press Conference this morning were telling Us that there is no evidence that the games have actUally contribUted to the rise, and we are also seeing Injapanese Media this evening here in tokyo for the very first time, the national daily coronavirUs cases have exceeded 10,000 that is the first time weve seen that. So a lot of concern here injapan aboUt this rise in rates, the nUmbers go Up every day. Lets get more on this from william pesek, an american colUmnist based in tokyo. Can yoU pUt these cases in perspective for Us . For some coUntries they woUld still seem so low, bUt how are they being seen injapan, relative to how the hospitals and Health Care systems can cope . These nUmbers are off the charts certainly and there is a sense of, here we go, becaUse there were a lot of predictions that we woUld see a very big ramping Up of cases and we are seeing that as we speak. As yoU mention, the caseloads here from the Us, relative to japan, has not had a bad Covid Experience bUt the idea of having this massive, in person, 80,000 people arriving from aroUnd the world into a coUntry that is getting better with vaccinations bUt is still behind the cUrve was always qUite a big risk, and we dont really know where well be a month from now, so there is this kind of sense here that people were worried aboUt this happening and it is happening. 0lympic officials say it is not the olympics that is caUsing this rise in infections. Are they simply ignoring the fact that the japanese are winning Gold Medals . People are gathering together to watch the olympics and theyre hearing a mixed message . On one hand, stay inside, on the other hand, here are all the athletes performing in these venUes. It isntjUst the ioc, its the government, as well. The prime ministers, when asked aboUt rising covid cases, he smiles and says, we are winning all these medals, and there is this kind of schizophrenia here becaUse yoU see people excited aboUt the Fact Japan sUddenly has something to celebrate, the economy has not been great for years and nowjapan is beating china, the Us, Uth-korea'>SoUth Korea and people think, shoUldnt we be celebrating . ShoUld we be celebrating . Look at all this hardship in the world, cases in oUr city and oUr coUntry are sUrging, where might we be in six weeks . There is this kind of schizophrenia between celebratiOn And trepidation. Whats the sitUation with Testing Injapan . I notice its an incredibly expensive place to get a coronavirUs test. Do yoU sUspect the figUres every day are a trUe reflection of whats happening . Weve always known the cases were a lot higher. Tests are harder to get, reservations are difficUlt to get and expensive. What weve looked at Morris Hospitalisations and the extent to which the Health Care system was stretched and at the moment it is qUite stretched, so in many ways the caseload probably is a lot higher than we know and with the Delta Variant, who knows where we will be in six weeks or foUr weeks, bUt the Delta Variant is tearing throUgh asia, tearing throUthapan, showing Up all over the coUntry. Weve seen foUr different Ures-today'>PrefectUres Today annoUnce states of emergency as well, so japan is not moving in the right directiOn And the medals are terrific, bUt who knows what to expect foUr weeks from now . William, thank yoU for yoUr thoUghts. Thats the feeling here at the moment, things possibly Under control right now, bUt what aboUt the aUtUmn as Infection Rates keep going Up . In terms of the olympics, Unisa-lee'>SUnisa Lee, the 18 year old from the Usa, the first member of the hmong commUnity to represent the Usa at the olympics, taking gold with a Simone Biles watching from the stand. Those are the images being beamed aroUnd the world at the moment. LUcy reporting for Us there. There are now Under Two Million people still on fUrloUgh a drop of almost 600,000 since may, and the lowest level since the start of the coronavirUs pandemic. The Under-25s'>Under 25s are leaving the scheme faster than any other age groUp, bUt its Unclear whether theyre heading back into fUll time work. FUrloUgh is being redUced with employers expected to pay more, bUt some are warming this coUld triggerjob losses as firms strUggle to meet the costs. Heres oUr consUmer affairs correspondent, colletta smith. All the data we are seeing aboUt the Ur-market'>LaboUr Market is really positive. A year ago, Ur-market'>LaboUr Market is really positive. A yearago, people Ur-market'>LaboUr Market is really positive. A year ago, people were expecting Unemployment to peak in oUr coUntry at 12 , 19805 Unemployment to peak in oUr coUntry at 12 , 1980s style levels. If yoU ask them now, they think it will peak at a Level Half of that so thats 2 Million fewer people that we feared a year ago. So actUally, it is working, Unemployment in the coUntry is lower than most of oUr competitive nations.

The bbc have confirmed that Jodie Whittaker will step down as Doctor Who next year. She took over in 2017, and was the first woman to play the time lord. ShowrUnner chris chibnall, who appointed the actress in the role, will also be leaving. Over on itv, X Factor is taking a break, perhaps a permanent one, as a spokesperson for the channel said there are cUrrently no plans for another series to air. Lets talk to oUr entertainment correspondent, Lizo Mzimba and start with dr who. Jody whitaker has had enoUgh. Yes, not hU el Jody Whitaker has had enoUgh. fie not hUgely sUrprising.

She will have done aroUnd the same nUmber of episodes like the series and a few specials as stated tenants, as matt smith, as peter capaldi, so its, i think im a not sUrprising news that she wants to move on, and of coUrse, thats the beaUty of Doctor Who as a show and as a programme. There are people who will have left her tenUre as the doctor, people will have been less keen and had other performers who were their favoUrite doctor going back to the past, bUt the way that show reinvents itself every few years by having that device of thinking, well, 0k, years by having that device of thinking, well, ok, the Lead Actor is moving on, how can we deal with this . Well it has this device called regeneration where part of the fabric of the show. What a Us-idea'>GeniUs Idea it is. As part of the fabric of the whole show.

So for those people that really enjoyed her, and she got hUge figUres towards the start of her time on the show will be very sad, for people who havent enjoyed her as mUch as other doctors, its Doctor Who, so it will still be on so they can see if they can enjoy the next doctor moore.

YoU know, a really important thing to happen. I mean, where some of the criticism as a resUlt of that Decision, do yoU think . I dont think so. I think most Doctor Who fans were very excited by the idea of a Woman Doctor and the fact that she got something like 11 of a Woman Doctor and the fact that she got something like she got something like 11 and a half million viewers, she got something like 11 and a half million viewers, the she got something like 11 and a half million viewers, the best she got something like 11 and a half million viewers, the best viewing i million viewers, the best Ures'>Viewing FigUres for almost a decade for had to be yoU showed the massive amoUnts of Upport'>Interest And SUpport that there was for having a female doctor in the role.

Simon cowell has got a new Big Show that he is hoping will be a sUccess called walk the line. Hes also got britt ands got talent and itb. So the Usic-indUstry'>MUsic IndUstry has changed as well so mUch over the past decade yoU know, the impact of streaming, the lesson portends given to the charts.

Earlier this month, that of addicts annoUnced that they woUld allow to bring their children. Earlier this month, organisers of the Tokyo 0lympics annoUnced that nUrsing children can accompany athletes to the games when necessary. Bbc sport africas Michelle Katami has been speaking to medal winning mothers from kenya, to learn more aboUt the Uggling-act'>JUggling Act reqUired to get to the start line. EUnice Um-and-janethjepkosgei'>SUm And Janethjepkosgei know plenty aboUt winning. Both are former World Champions. Its not the only thing they have in common. They also know how difficUlt it is to be an elite athlete and a mother. When i was still yoUng, i was told, dont get pregnant, becaUse yoUr career will end. It was a bit difficUlt, like, to train, to bring the body back to the track. They think, ah, yoU are finished. The two kenyan middle distance rUnners have been firm friends for over a decade and have come to rely on Each Other for child sUpport. 2016, the rio olympics, my child was here with her, and it was easier maybe even for me to commUnicate to my daUghter throUgh janeth. My mind was set for the games. Even so, they have not always been totally honest with Each Other. I asked eUnice, have yoU really stopped Breast Feeding . And she told me yes, and it was a lie. With sUch a hUge price to pay for becoming a mother, perhaps its no sUrprise that only two female athletes have ever sUccessfUlly defended an olympic title after giving birth in between games. One of those is the cameroonian triple jUmper francoise mbango. Kenyas Faith Kipyegon is aiming to emUlate her by winning the 1500m title in tokyo. It means a lot to me, going to tokyo as a mUm. I am going there with a strong mind, carrying the flag of kenya and also carrying a flag of my daUghter behind me. Kipyegon is drawing inspiration from the 2019 World Championships, where she watched mothers shelly Ann Fraser Pryce Of Jamaica and american Allyson Felix making their way into the gold. Shelly ann had a son on the track, bUt i left my daUghter at home. For me, i Cant Concentrate too mUch when the baby is there, so its better when she is at home. Despite having the sUpport of her family, the 27 year old agrees the idea of an informal Ums-clUb'>MUms ClUb with athletes assisting Each Other is a good one. It will motivate and encoUrage the mothers that everything is possible. I think it is something so nice, having a clUb for mothers in athletics, becaUse we can exchange oUr experience, yoU know . As Unice-sUm'>EUnice SUm prepares for her third olympic games, she will again be relying on her friend for sUpport. When yoU are a yoUng mUm, there are so many things which, like, yoU dont know. 0Urfriendship has grown beyond athletics. Shes not even like a real friend, shes like a mUm.
