I began by asking kye what victory meant to him. Its phenomenal. Yeah, it was exciting, it was thrilling. Yeah, it has been a dream come true obviously since i was a kid.

My dad is a senior coach at peckham bmx club. That club is just a great club. And theyre doing very well with their riders, obviously. Clearly, they are thats very modest of you. So you won your medal and you were watching on the sidelines as beth got that Gold Medal, how did that feel . Do you know what, its the craziest experts ive ever experienced. Out of All the races ive been to, the Team Mates ive cheered on, beth has been through a tough ride. And to see her when the medal, i wouldnt want to see anyone else do it better.

Well� s Beth Shriever� s largely self funded path to Olympic Glory Has Cast A Sharp focus on how money for Olympic Sports is distributed and the scrutiny that many athletes are under. It contrasts with rowing britains best funded sport, where competitors have achieved only one silver and one bronze in tokyo, despite receiving millions of pounds. Laura scott looks at how the key decisions are made. Bethany shriever at times on her route to olympic glory, Beth Shriever wondered where the money was going to come from. She had to crowdfund and work part time as a Teaching Assistant to keep her dreams alive. It was only in the summer of 2019 that she was moved onto Uk Sport funding. Her gold in bmx earlier today is some return for her tenacity. I relied a lot on my Mum And Dad to get me through most of my career in bmx. Ended up doing a crowdfund, which raised a decent amount of money to get me to a few world cups and pay for my coach at the time. Meanwhile, britains best funded sport, rowing, no longer rules the waves. One silver and one Bronze Medal makes this the worst games since atlantas 1996 in Medal Terms and the first without a gold in more than 40 years, prompting some tough questions about whether this is value for money. I think we have got to make some significant changes to step up. We have to look at the analysis of what the other countries in the world are doing that we are not doing. We have got a great base and great model that has given us performances over the years, but everyone else is moving forward and we have to move forward with them. Rowing received £24. 6 million for the tokyo cycle, topping the Uk Sport Investment Table ahead of cycling, athletics and sailing, which get more than £20 million each. Some sports received less than £1 million, leading to some claims the system is unfair. For fencing, it was extremely difficult. We lost our funding in 2016 after our results at rio and that created an enormously difficult environment for our athletes. But what weve seen and what weve reAlly welcomed in the last cycle is a change in approach and the ambition to fund more, wider sports. And so we have benefited from some of that investmen,t which has helped us in being able to send an athlete to tokyo. Under its new strategy, Uk Sport has shifted its focus away from a win at All costs mentality, meaning medals will not be the only measure of success. The agency wants to find a broader range of sports, factor in potential over a longer period, and look at the Inspiration Communities get from performances. The british Public Have told us very clearly when weve consulted with them that they love to see british athletes winning at the olympics and paralympic games, and they want us to do that with integrity and do it well. They have also told us they want to see us winning in more sports. So it is fantastic to think we have now medAlled in so many sports at this games. While they may not be counting the medals, at a time when Government Funding is still under review, they will be counting the pennies. There is already a sense for some sports, the post Games Review could get ugly. Laura scott, Bbc News. Our Sports Editor Dan Roan is at the Olympic Stadium in tokyo, where the Athletics Competition has been getting under way today. That is right, the first day of competition here at athletics and so many people feel this is the highlight of the games. Team gb have had a good day, three women through to the semifinals of the 800 metres, three more through to the 100, including Dina Asher Smith as you saw earlier on. She was fastest across All of the heats. But there are six wherein under 11 seconds, including the jamaican former Olympic Champion who is favourite. It will be a mouthwatering final tomorrow. Sebastian coe has been speaking to us. Everybody was doing everything they possibly could to agree the famous playbooks and protocols and safety for the athletes, and All the local communities that you have to protect as well. But i think there were moments, and some of them are political as well, but i think there were moments where we were beginning to doubt whether or not this was going to happen. But everybody kept their nerve. It has been easy to forget there are no fans at these games because of the situation with covid, but then this massive arena, the athletes are putting their Team Mates during the heats. A huge amount to look forward especiAlly this evening with the final of the 10,000m for men, the World Champion will be favourite in that. And over the course of the next week so much to look forward to at the athletics. Many thanks. Our top story this lunchtime a historic day for Britains Bmx riders as they pick up first a silver and then a gold in tokyo.

Labour is cAlling for the government to bring forward the day on which fully vaccinated people will no longer have to self isolate in england. The welsh government confirmed last night that it would make the change next saturday while scotland plans to do the same two days later. In england, the change is not due to come in until 16th august. Our political correspondent Iain Watson is at westminster. What is labour� s reasoning . Keir starmer is arguing currently the economy is in chaos, it is being crippled by the fact more than 700,000 people may now be in Self Isolation, but he is also arguing the government has never explained why they are choosing august the 16th. So he was asked why is he choosing August The 7th and on what scientific basis is that decision being made . We have been talking to scientists throughout the 18 months of this pandemic on a regular basis. It is not the pandemic on a regular basis. It is not the Day Pandemic on a regular basis. It is not the day that is driving it, but the principle of the double vaccination, and the idea as Welsh Labour vaccination, and the idea as Welsh Labour have vaccination, and the idea as Welsh Labour have put forward that if you are double labour have put forward that if you are double vaccinated you do not have are double vaccinated you do not have to are double vaccinated you do not have to isolate if you have been in contact have to isolate if you have been in contact with someone as is automaticAlly run at the moment. At the moment we have Hundreds Of Thousands the moment we have Hundreds Of Thousands of people a week isolating, and you can see the chaos that is isolating, and you can see the chaos that is causing. Interestingly, if this is about double vaccination rather than scientific data, many conservative mps and some labour mps including Ben Bradshaw asking why isnt sir Keir Starmer simply cAlling for Self Isolation to end right now . Why isnt borisjohnson doing that . Sir Keir Starmer� s answer on that if he thinks the 7th Of August is pragmatic and gives times for changes to be brought in although it seems to be in step with a Labour Led administration in wales. Conservatives have accused him of chasing headlines, the government have said this is about getting people double jabbed. And critical workers can escape Self Isolation through testing although there are only 300 Testing Sites in operation. It is interesting increasingly it seems sir Keir Starmer is looking for points of conflict with the government over covid rather than consensus. Our political corresondent Iain Watson. Englands Chief Midwife has written to gp practices, obstetricians and midwives, stressing the need to encourage pregnant women to be vaccinated against coronavirus. Estimates suggest that only one in ten pregnant women have had the jab but the number of mothers to be in hospital with the virus is rising, as our Health Correspondent Cath burns reports. The Message Couldnt be any clearer. Expectant mothers should take action to protect themselves and their babies by getting the covid vaccine. Any midwife not encouraging pregnant women to do so will now be going against official guidance. At the antenatal clinic at Chelsea And Westminster hospital most of the pregnant women we spoke to had beenjabbed. It is just for the safety, i started getting worried especiAlly during my third trimester. Luckily i havent had covid, i have been very lucky, but i thought it was important to have it to protect me and the baby now as well. Yes, i decided to do it. I was reAlly nervous before i had it done. Then i did a bit more reading i thought this is perfect. Ive had it done and feel much safer, happier and freer to go out. I decided it was, i was in a better position having the vaccine than i was potentiAlly being exposed to the risk of covid. But it is not always a straightforward decision. If it had been going for five years or something, i would feel confident but because it is so new, i think that is why i am still hesitating. So i think that is what is keeping me from getting vaccinated. New data from the Uk Obstetrics Surveillance System shows of the 742 pregnant women admitted to hospital with covid since the start of february, only four had received a single dose of the vaccine, and none had been double jabbed. The later also suggested the Delta Variant has increased the likelihood of pregnant patients having more severe symptoms. At Chelsea And Westminster they outline other risks, too. If you are umming and aahing about having the covid vaccination, it is reAlly important to remember that in pregnancy, if you arent vaccinated, you are more likely to end up needing respiratory support. Unfortunately it can lead to early miscarriages or preterm births which can have a detrimental impact on your babys health. More than 51,000 pregnant women in england have had theirfirstjab and nearly 21,000 have had their second. But that means Hundreds Of Thousands remain unvaccinated. Medical experts insisted there had been no Safety Concerns for pregnant women who have taken the jab, and it is safe. Catherine burns, Bbc News. The latest data from the Office For National Statistics shows the number of people testing positive for coronavirus continued to increase in the week to last saturday. It comes after a several days of fAlling daily Case Numbers in the uk. So whats going on . Our health correspondent Jim Reed is here to explain. Jim. What is going on . There are two main ways confusingly of Measuring Covid infections in the uk. The daily data you might hear every evening on the news, measuring people who come forward normAlly with symptoms of the virus and then test positive. Those figures have been very encouraging for the last week showing a sharp downward trend as you can see on the graph. On the right Hand Side you are saying that trent fAll. There is a different way of Measuring Infections carefully watched and this is where the office of national statistics goes out and randomly sampled people in the population, about half A Million people in the uk. That can measure notjust people with symptoms but people who are not sick with covid at the time. That data shows in the week to last saturday actuAlly cases where rising slightly, across the uk, short of A Million people, 950,000 had covid in that week, up from 830,000 the week before, up in england, wales and northern ireland, down slightly in scotland. Why these different trends . A lot could be down to timing, that Ons Survey measures people up to last saturday, so it might have missed this very recent fAll in those daily cases. It also measures people without symptoms which can make a difference. They ons said they will continue to investigate whether the current wave of infections is stabilising or not and it remains too early to say. Many thanks. The number of drug deaths in scotland has risen to a Record Level for the seventh year in a row. There was a total of 1,339 Drug Related Fatalities in 2020 the highest rate in europe. Our Correspondentjames Shaw is in glasgow. This is clearly a persistent and worrying problem. It has been described as a public Health Emergency and i think youre right, one the things particularly shocking is the fact it has been going on for so many years. The seventh Record Year for the Drug Death Rate in scotland. In fact the Drugs Policy Minister here Angela Constance has admitted it is a national disgrace as she put it, and that the number of deaths, the death rate, was not acceptable. To put it in context, this is a 3. 5 times the Drug Death Rate for the whole of the uk. And it is particularly affecting deprived parts of scotland, much more than it is the least deprived areas, and that gap has been increasing over the last 20 years. The Scottish Government is setting aside £250 million to deal with this to try to make sure everyone who needsit to try to make sure everyone who needs it gets treatment, and there is a Emergency Treatment for people who suffer from overdoses. Is a Emergency Treatment for people who sufferfrom overdoses. But is a Emergency Treatment for people who suffer from overdoses. But the opposition here, the scottish conservatives, say reAlly that they Scottish Governments inadequate, there needs to be legislation, a right to recovery bill, to guarantee people get the treatment they need. Thank you very match, james. Its been confirmed that Human Remains found in the Pyrenees Mountain Range are those of a british woman who went missing last november. Esther dingley, who was 37, was hiking near Spains Border with france when she vanished. She and her partner had been on an open ended Camper Van Tour of europe, but he wasnt with her at the time of her disappearance. The Hollywood Star Scarlett johansson is suing disney for breach of contract, after it streamed her Superhero Film Black Widow at the same time as its cinema release. The film set a Post Pandemic Box office record, grossing £157 million in its first weekend. Msjohansson argues that the decision to stream the film has deprived her of potential earnings. Disney said it had fully complied with her contract, and her case had no merit whatsoever. The uks biggest dairy company, arla, has told the bbc that it failed to make 25 of its deliveries to supermarkets last weekend, because of a lack of lorry drivers. The firm said 600 stores did not receive deliveries. They say the ongoing shortage of drivers, alongside staff having to isolate because of covid alerts, is causing major disruption. The Company Boss has been speaking to our Business Correspondent Emma simpson. This is the worlds largest fresh milk dairy. We process over A Billion litres of milk from our cooperative Farmer Owners a year, so you can see this is a vast operation. In fact, one in every five bottles of milk thats sold in the uk is made here. Since the beginning of april, we have experienced driver shortages, so being able to take the products from a factory like here in aylesbury to the supermarkets, and that has now increased to such a level where were not able to deliver milk to every store that would like it. Can you quantify this . NormAlly, we deliver milk to 2,400 stores daily, so were a very big milkman. Unfortunately at the moment, theres about 10 of the stores every day that we cant deliver to and at the weekend, its worse. Last saturday, there were 600 stores that we couldnt deliver milk to. Thats a lot of milk. Thats a lot of milk and its very worrying for customers when they go into shops and its notjust milk, its an Industry Issue its worrying for customers when they go into shops and find that the shelves are empty. What do you want to see happen here . I think its a structural issue of a shortage of drivers in the uk, and it needs a structural solution. However, going into the summer with lots more holidays coming up, theres a short Term Crisis that we need to make sure that we dont have Food Shortages in the summer and therefore, we would like to work with the government first to recognise that its a crisis. Secondly, theres a backlog of tests for hgv drivers. We predict about 30,000 drivers are waiting to be tested. We want the government to work with us to accelerate that.
