She is british sports new two wheeled wonder. The olympics is no stranger to fairy tales, but Beth Shriever� s is something very special. The 22 year old hadnt been among the favourites in the bmx, but the part time Teaching Assistant was soon giving Her rivals a lesson. She led from the start. And in this most exhilarating of events, she flew around the track. Could she hang on for gold . Well, it was some finish. All the way, all the way, all the way yes bethany shriever, olympic Champion Cue Elation and utter exhaustion, Her Team Mate Kye whyte lifting Her aloft as the enormity of Her achievment sank in. Shriever had to crowdfund Her own preparations for tokyo. I love you guys and after celebrating with Herfamily in essex, she said Her victory defied belief. Honestly, im in shock. Like, to even be Here is an achievement in itself. To make a final is anotHer achievement in itself. To come home with a medal, let alone a gold medal, honestly, im so over the moon. But this was a day of double celebration. Just moments earlier, Kye Whyte, nicknamed the prince of peckham, had produced a regal display to take a stunning silver, enjoyed as much in South East London as it was in tokyo. It means everything. Just look at that. Once in a lifetime opportunity. As i said, it was pretty hard to even get to the olympics in the first place. To do well and to even get a medal, yeah, it special. White then turned cheerleader, roaring shriever on, before the pair could finally celebrate togetHer, and they werent the only ones. Former Oasis Star Her'>Liam GallagHer described shriever as a ledge, while Cyclist Geraint thomas tweeted that the one good Thing Aboutjet Lag is that i got to watch Bethany And Kye smash it live, amazing its a word that might also apply to this man, Duncan Scott, winning his third medal of the games, with silver in the 200m individual medley, while in the 200m Backstroke Luke greenbank took bronze. For Team Gb, the pool is certainly proving productive. In the trampolining, meanwhile, could bryony Page Bounce to glory . Well, after two years out with injury, it was some display. Whoa, well done, bryony following Her silver in rio, this time bronze, which she later described as amazing. THere was also bronze in the rowing for the mens eight. For one of Team Gb� s flagship sports, this has been a disappointing games just two medals, and for the first time since 1980, no gold. On the first day of athletics, Her-smith'>Dina AsHer Smith confirmed Her status as a contender in the 100m, easing through Her heat and into the semifinals. And in the boxing, pat Mccormack And Ben whittaker are both guaranteed medals, although whittaker has more than just victory in his sights. I want to go back with a gold medal, and i want to become the mayor of wolverhampton. I want one of those nice chains round my neck, and ill be calling all the Shots Everybody in wolverhampton will have a nice Ice Grill and chain, courtesy of ben whittaker. Excited . Just a little. Andy swiss, Bbc News. Team gb� s Medal Haul Wont be added to by the womens football team. Theyre out of the olympics after losing a Roller Coaster Quarter final 4 3 to australia after extra time.

It changed the momentum of the game with two quick goals just after, including a second from kerr made it 4 2. White made it 4 3 with six minutes left to complete Her hattrick, but Team Gb couldnt find an equaliser, Aand Australia through to the last four. The dream of a � golden slam is over for Novak Djokovic he has been beaten by Germanys Alexander Zverev in their olympic semi final.

Djokovics search for any olympic gold also goes on because he also lost his mixed doubles semi final. Thats all the sport for now. I will have more and about half an hour or so. I will have more and about half an hour orso. Many i will have more and about half an hour or so. Many thanks, i will have more and about half an hour orso. Many thanks, heal. The latest data from the Office For National Statistics shows the number of people testing positive for coronavirus in england, wales and Hern-ireland'>NortHern Ireland continued to rise in the week to last saturday. It comes after several days of falling daily Case Numbers in the uk. Heres our health correspondent, jim reed. THeres the daily data that you might hear every evening on the news, and thats measuring people who come forward normally with symptoms of the virus and then test positive. Thats what its measuring. Those figures have been very encouraging for the last week or so, showing a sharp downward trend, as you can see Here on the graph. On the right Hand Side of the graph, you are seeing that trend fall down. THere is, though, a different way of measuring infections, also very carefully watched. And this is wHere the office of national statistics goes out and randomly samples people in the population, about half A Million people in the uk. And that can measure notjust people with symptoms but people who are not actually sick with co that at the time. That data is outjust in the last 15 minutes. It shows in the week to last saturday, actually, cases were rising slightly. So across the uk, just short of A Million people, 950,000 people had covid in that week, up from about 830,000 the week before, up in england, wales and Hern-ireland'>NortHern Ireland, down slightly, actually, in scotland. So why these two different trends, then . It is confusing. A lot can be down to timing, so that ons survey, obviously the national statistics, measures people up to last saturday. So it might have missed this very recent fall we have seen in those daily cases. It also, as i say, also measures people without symptoms. That can make a difference. The ons said we will continue to investigate but that the current wave of infections is stabilising or not. And that, it remains simply too early to say. Jim reed tHere. Lets Take A Look at the latest coronavirus figures for the uk. A furtHer 29,622 new infections have been recorded. 68 people have died in the latest 24 hour period. Thats those whove died within 28 days of a positive covid test. On to vaccinations over 46. 7 million people have received their first dose of a covid vaccine. And almost 38 Million people have now received two doses. Well to understand a little bit more about the latest covid figures we can speak to paul hunter, professor of medicine at the university of east anglia. That afternoon tia professor. So jane, our correspondent tHere made it clear the difference between the daily figures i just it clear the difference between the daily figures ijust read out, people who have tested positive and the fact that the Office For National Statistics figures are based on random sampling. What do you think the significance of the Ons Figures is . Because they suggest cases are rising. Ons figures is . Because they suggest cases are rising cases are rising. Thats about two weeks out cases are rising. Thats about two weeks out of cases are rising. Thats about two weeks out of date cases are rising. Thats about two weeks out of date by cases are rising. Thats about two weeks out of date by the time cases are rising. Thats about two l weeks out of date by the time they are published. THere are a number of things about the Ons Data. The first is that they actually, its whats called prevalence, the number of people who are positive Today when you sample them. But they could have got their infection at any time, excuse me, in the previous two weeks. And so what we have seen in previous peaks is that it generally, tHere is a two Week Gap from when cases speak to when you see thats coming through in the Ons Data. So, you know, we were never going to see anything of the decline in this Weeks Ons data. We have to wait until next friday before we see that coming through. Until next friday before we see that coming through until next friday before we see that coming through. Interesting. So how useful is the coming through. Interesting.

I think it is one of the highlights of our response to covid is the ons both the antigen and the Antibody Survey is because what this has done is give us a really better idea of what is happening in the totality of the infection both asymptomatic and symptomatic, but its about always just about a week or two weeks late, out of date, compared to the Case Numbers, but it has been one of the really good things that we have responded to in the uk, is this ons survey.

We would have started to expect to see some impact on cases Today, and Case Numbers are still going down relative to the same period that was on the previous week. So it wont really be until monday that we know we have a better idea of whats happening to Case Numbers generally, but i think by monday, all being well, we should know whats going to be likely to be the impact of freedom monday, and also whetHer or not, as ive suggested, hospitalisation rates really have peaked, so, its going to be an interesting few days at the beginning of next week, i think. 50 beginning of next week, i think.

Jeremy hayes from leeds urban bike park. Leads neck. Labour is calling for the government to bring forward the date 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 the 16th of august. Our political correspondent Jonathan Blake explained that despite pressure on the Prime Minister to change that date, calls from labour are likely to go unheeded. I think the labour leader, Sir Kier Starmer, calling for the government to shift that date earlier probably makes it less likely, if anything, but Sir Kier Starmer is accusing the government of a chaotic approach, saying that businesses and families need certainty, and tHerefore, in his view, it would be right to bring that date forward from the 16th of august, which the government has identified as the point at which double vaccinated adults will not need to isolate if they come into contact with someone who has tested positive to the 7th of august. Why then . Well, it happens to be the date that the welsh government is due to confirm will be the end of Isolation Requirements for double jabbed adults tHere, and Sir Kier Stamer was asked earlier more about his reasoning for specifying that date. We have been talking to scientists throughout the 18 months of this pandemic on a very regular basis. Its not that date that is driving it, its the principle of the double vaccination, and the idea, as Welsh Labour have put forward, if you are double vaccinated, you dont have to isolate if you have been in contact with someone, as is automatically the rule at the moment. At the moment, weve got hundreds of thousands of people a week isolating, and you can see the chaos that thats causing. So, why not now, is perhaps the otHer obvious question for labour Here. If it� s deemed safe in nine days� time, why isn� t deemed safe now, wHere Sir Kier Stamer� s answer to that said that he wants a pragmatic approach and tHere needs to be time to put the measures in place and for the Testing Centres that the government has put into operation, which are in the process of being set up to get fully up and running, which means people can be tested ratHer than having to isolate or stay away from work. But in taking this move, it is a shift in llabour policy. It� s one which attempts to put it in line with what the Labour Government in wales is doing, but very deliberately puts it at odds with what the westminster government is doing, and as i say, no sign at the moment that the government is going to shift their approach and bring forward that date of the 16th of august, which the Prime Minister has said is nailed on.

One of the major problems we have, driven by deprivation and inequalities and all of these things need to be addressed. But of the 60,000 people who experienced drug problems, less than 40 of people are accessing treatment that would help to save their lives. We know treatment is a protective factor and certainly one of the issues people face in scotland. Face in scotland. THere are entranced face in scotland. THere are entranced social face in scotland. THere are entranced social and face in scotland. THere are entranced social and economic problems entrenched, but once people have a serious drug problem, you say the treatment isn� t tHere.

The Drug Deaths Task Force arranged Treatment Standards which basically mean the standards will ensure that people have same Day Access to treatments so that they won� t have to wait long, they have choice of which treatment they can access and including injectable auctions like Heroin treatment, but people will access at treatment for as long as they want and we need to ensure that equitable across the country. The problem is that although tHere have been a lot of resources apply to this and the standards are tHere, the next phase will be ensuring these are absolutely embedded within Service Provision and not seen as a choice or an option for services to deliver that are manned a story, and that will take close monitoring to ensure.

Not only does Society Stigmatize people who use drugs, but also sadly some of our health services. People would wait until they� re almost an Emergency Crisis before they would actually go and see someone for their health needs. Just because the way that people feel they� ll be treated and judge, which is sadly accurate in a lot of cases. THere� s accurate in a lot of cases. THere� s a lot of work still to be done to address the stigma that people face. Thank you very much.
