we had to start more with using technology and using streaming, for instance. it's a beautiful art and if more and more young people come to the theatre and enjoy that, it's a magical world. let me take you to the opera. juan diego florez and cecilia bartoli are two of the most popular and respected stars in opera today. but they are also helping to forge a more secure future for opera, one that embraces tradition whilst also driving innovation. italian mezzo soprano cecilia bartoli is unique in opera. she has received numerous accolades for her performances and has millions of admirers — like me. but she is also a music scholar and manager of one of the world's biggest opera festivals. cecilia's got that mystery quality that only very few singers have of complete charisma. when you see her on stage you look at her and it's very hard to look at anyone else because she's got that ability to inspire and thrill just by being on stage, before she even opens her mouth. for nearly 30 years, cecilia has been singing at the salzburg whitsun festival in austria where

he won the us olympic trials. usain bolt�*s picked him out as his favourite, he is the fastest in the world this year. interestingly, though, sneaked through the first round heats as a fastest loser on saturday, so we will wait and see. canada's andre de grasse, too, finished third in rio, he is being talked about as well. his best chance for gold, though, might well come in the 200 metres. want to also talk about the gymnastics because the athletics understandably takes our attention on sunday, but we are going to see the final of the women's vault and uneven bars. and no simone biles for either, the four—time 0lympic champion first withdrew from tuesday's women's team final and then thursday's individual all—around final, saying she had to focus on her mental health. she has yet to decide if she will compete in the floor and balance beam finals, those are next week. a us gymnastic statement saying simon biles will continue to be evaluated daily, so still uncertainty about whether we will see simon biles at

land, we have the suicide squad, the latest addition to the dc extended universe which previously gave us the dismal suicide squad, to which this stand—alone sequel — whatever that means — adds an all—important definite article. it's all about the "the". margo robbie's harley quinn is back, alongside the likes of idris elba's bloodsport and john cena's peacemaker, all part of a ragtag team sent in by tough—as—nails viola davis to do battle with project starfish, a project that does exactly what it says on the tin. really. uh-huh. written and directed byjames gunn, the suicide squad is notable primarily for the fact that sylvester stallone voicing a talking shark doesn't even come close to being the most bonkers thing on screen. hand! yes, that is your hand. very good. we're all going to die. i hope so. well, this is a world in which a giant weasel is just another passenger on the plane and polka—dot man, a character who shoots polka—dots and whom gunn himself called the dumbest dc character of all time, gets ample tragicomic screen time. the result is a huge splurge of pos

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. stick with us and you will be fully briefed if you are preparing to watch the olympics overnight. with me are the broadcaster and journalist james lewer, and the education editor of the sunday times, sian griffiths. tomorrow's front pages starting with... super saturday steals the show on the observer's front page — with the emotional celebrations of team gb�*s gold medal—winning triathlon team. the sunday telegraph splashes on celebrations of another kind — those of the prime minister and his wife carrie — who have announced that they are expecting a second child. the sunday express refers to the "heartbreak of miscarriage" as carriejohnson reveals she experienced a pregnancy loss earlier this year and hopes sharing what happened to her will help others going through the same. "kebabs forjabs" declares the sunday people on the latest efforts being suggested to encourage young people to take up the coronavirus vaccine, and summer holidays are the focus of the sunday times â€

us gymnastics says biles is continuing to be evaluated daily as she focuses on her mental health. there's been plenty happening away from the olympics — in cape town, the british and irish lions lost the second test by 27—9 as south africa levelled the series. it'll now come down to next saturday's decider. katie gornall reports. pride and pressure is what a lions tour is all about, with the series on the line it was a question of which team could harness that passion. defeat last week left the springboks wounded. early on it was clear they would not go down without a fight. the penalties racked up, so to the yellow cards, this kick sent duhan van der merwe out the sin—bin before south africa boss mike cheslin kolbe flew in to join him, again tempers flared. the springboks boss had criticised referees this week but one man in the middle kept his cool. finally some rugby broke out. three points down at half—time, south africa responded brilliantly, mapimpi with a try, worthy of the world champions. they would sneak through again on the hour, am was quick but did he have con

as we move into tuesday, again, that dry story stays with us. a greater chance of seeing a little more sunshine on tuesday. still the risk of a few isolated showers but temperatures should peak at around 21 degrees, that's 70 fahrenheit. now we will start to see a change, potentially, from the west on wednesday but not for all of us. this area of low pressure will tend to move in and the position of the low could change. if it's a little bit further north, it could bring its rain into scotland. but at the moment, it looks likely that we'll see some showery outbreaks of rain along western fringes. eastern areas will start off dry with some sunshine in the morning, clouding over a little later on in the afternoon. and with the winds swinging back round to a lighter southerly direction, maybe with the sunshine, a degree or $0 warmer. we could see 21 or 22 degrees, 72 fahrenheit. a similar story as we move into thursday. that low quickly weakens and will be replaced by another pushing in from the south—west, but again, the position of this low is

us and nato presence had brought a modicum of stability and gains in the civil liberties, education, and a little bit in the economy in afghanistan. that is collapsing, and i think the focus ought to be more on how to reach out to these civilians, innocent civilians who are fleeing this virus. also at the countries who are going to host these large number of refugees at a time aren't afraid of public attitudes towards refugees is fast deteriorating in turkey, but also in european countries. the united nations's food agency says more than a dozen trucks carrying emergency aid to tigray, in northern ethiopia, have reached the regional capital, mekelle. they were part of a convoy of 170 vehicles, stuck for weeks in the neighbouring afar region because of security problems. some of the other trucks are also making their way to tigray. about five million people in the region rely on emergency assistance, with 400,000 living in famine conditions. vanessa tsehaye is human rights activists and a horn of africa campaigner at amnesty international. how bad is the situation on the ground at the

my mum used to cook food, and he used to complain that we smelled of onions. but we left the area, he would eat curry every day, he'd come and knock on my mum's door. we couldn't get a job anywhere, them days, you know, so we created our own industry. we created our own product that we could sell to make a living out of it. that's how i see it. today, we're at altab ali park, which is a park in memory of altab ali, who was a bangladeshi man murdered by three racist individuals back in 1978. the british bangladeshi community ended up protesting in thousands. it's through the sacrifices and perseverance of the older generation that we can...not live perfect lives, but live a much more comfortable life. altab ali park is in the east london constituency of bethnal green and bow, an area represented by mp rushanara ali. she was the first ever british bangladeshi mp elected to the uk parliament. when political leaders amplify tensions, when they fail to show courage and leadership and stand up in the face of division and hatred, then we send the wrong message. you m

us air strikes had to be employed last night to support government efforts in herat — that's despite the fact that around 95% of american forces have now been withdrawn from afghanistan. you've got tens of thousands of people who are actively being displaced by this fighting right now, and that's adding to around 300,000 or so who were already displaced even a number of weeks ago. a number of other afghans, many other afghans, are planning, or at least considering what their options are, when it comes to leaving the country. i've been looking at social media groups set up by people smugglers, offering routes out through iran and into turkey. the people smugglers who are operating those groups are really being inundated with requests by people. the passport office here in kabul recently has seen large queues, as well, many people going there trying to renew their documents in order to apply for legal reasons to get to apply for legal visas to get out of afghanistan. the fear that many people have is that at the end of august, when the international military mission in afghanistan form

it told us... wallbox, based in spain, didn't reply to us, but they did tell ken's team that they had fixed the online problems. time to see if the units are safe. retesting took place this week and suggests most of the problems in both chargers have been fixed, but ken says owners still need to take action. check for updates, solve the problem. the wallbox charger uses hardware that isn't secure enough. there's really nothing you can do to make it completely secure. so unless wallbox have found a way of fixing that, which would be beyond me, i'd suggest perhaps supergluing the box cover in so hackers can't take the top off. and what of the approval they had to be sold in the uk by the department of transport and the government grants handed out to help sell them? the department did not comment on the security issues we raised, but said... it's worth noting that all smart home chargers will still be usable if you just want to plug your car in. but when it comes to security when using them with a ph

thank you so much as speaking to us. american military forces have boarded an israeli—operated oil national — were killed in a reported drone strike. the us navy has said experts boarded the tanker to "ensure there is no additional danger to the crew, and are prepared to support an investigation into the attack". israel has accused iran of being behind the attack, which occured off oman's coast in the arabian sea on thursday. iran has not yet responded to the allegations, but it appears to be a serious escalation in tensions in the region. our correspondent tom bateman is injerusalem. he explained more from there. the foreign minister yair lapid who has quite firmly put this at the feet at the very means and said that he has spoken to the uk foreign secretary dominic raab about this because one of the two people killed on board was a british security guard on the other was a senior member of the crew, a romanian national. mr lapid said he expected the need for what he described as a severe response following that att

can you give us a sense of the scale? yes, it's an enormous operation, that's for sure, notjust the broadcast operation, but the entire olympics in tokyo is tens of thousands of people who have gathered, 11,000 athletes plus another 10,000 officials and volunteers, and others who come to actually make this show happen. it's the biggest show on earth, quite frankly, when it comes to sporting events. our operation with our sublicenses is, you know, several thousand in size. we have scaled back the number of people we have sent to tokyo, obviously given the current covid situation here, so we are sending less people than we had originally planned. but it is an enormous operational effort, and in the current environment with additional rules and procedures, and things that we have to do to keep the japanese public safe, it's become a logistical challenge, for sure. and you've got the rights to the olympic games in 50 european territories? yeah, we've broadcast them in 50 different markets and 19 different languages across our

give us your reaction. i'm kind of shocked, but i made this prediction yesterday when i said people should not count out elaine thompson—herah, she is the previous olympic champion. that does not come lightly. i am just shocked at how she did it, and at the time, 10.61 is absolutely incredible. she did it in class and style. you did call it. ijust cannot believe it. but we all hope and want our favourites to win, but for them to go out and do it it is a whole other ball game. also, it was a jamaican one, two, three, which i expected but did not expect it to see it live. hugely disappointing for dina asher—smith, but daryll neita made it through to the final? i feel for daryll, this is still an amazing thing to be celebrated. she made an olympic final. yes, it may not have been the performance that she wanted, but she should still be able to hold her head up high. congrats to daryll also. huge disappointment for dina asher—smith, she has been struggling with a hamstring injury, she has also pulled out

what do you think that tells us? i think, as you said earlier, it's a window into the huge frustration that governments in countries that are lucky enough to have stocks of vaccine and the ability to put the vaccine into arms has so far fallen far short of the number of vaccinations that they wanted to administer, and they feel they need to administer. the other thing it reflects is quite frankly a new urgency, because there have been reports, even in the last 2a hours, based on an in—house assessment by the centers for disease prevention in the united states, suggesting this delta variant, the one that originated it india but is now prevalent pretty much all over the world, is not only more transmissible, it's much, much, much more transmissible than had been assumed. and it's also capable of infecting and being passed on by fully vaccinated people almost as easily as by those who have not been vaccinated. so i think there's a sense of the clock ticking, and i think that's what you're seeing. and i think we will s

jess always goes first for us, she has a phenomenal swimmer and gets us right to the front of the race. she did a fantasticjob on the bike on the run. jonny brownlee helped with the athletes until the run and then pulled away, gave georgia a lead, she increased the lead towards the end of the run, she handed over to alex. what about his composure for a 23—year—old, to have vincent louise pass you on the first lap, but to have the composure to know that he could pull away on the run, and that is exactly what he did. all four of the transitions were exceptionally good. you put all of those things together, and a fantastic preparation these guys have. we are lucky in britain, because of the national lottery, we are able to invest in supporting these athletes in perhaps ways that athletes in other countries are not supported. we are very grateful for that. staying on the games — and tokyo has reported that new daily coronavirus cases have surged to a record high of 4,058. a spike in cases in recent days has prompted an extension of the capital's state of emergency. it's also been exp

thank you forjoining us. talk me through the what the relationship is between wet roads and crashes. it is a really good — between wet roads and crashes. it 3 a really good point. around 800 people every year are killed or seriously injured on the uk's motorways. that is sadly a number that hasn't been dropping and has stayed stubbornly high. if you add in speed and wet weather as well it is an extremely dangerous cocktail and we know that a lot of people have been killed or seriously injured every year because of this and perhaps it is time that we looked at some novel ways of trying to tackle it. here at the rsc we asked drivers about their thoughts on reducing speed limits in wet weather on motorways, something that is commonplace in france. we have the infrastructure here in the uk increasingly to support a move like this and perhaps it is time we looked at these measures in order to bring the casualty rate which as i say a stubbornly high, down on our motorways. say a stubbornly high, down on our motor

he told us exactly what is happening in nanjing. china has so far managed to keep the virus largely under control, as we know, by closing the borders and moving quickly to stamp out local outbreaks. but this time, nanjing authorities were slow in their identification of the virus. it was transmitted from an air flight from russia through airchina — airflight to nanjing onjuly10, but after ten days, the first identifying case of positive covid—19 infection was coming out, so it took around ten days, which was longer than usual. and it took another ten days for the authorities to trace the origin of this transmission, which was from the russian flight. so which took another ten days, so i think this timing, delayed timing, is really the key that has caused a large scale of spreading. as you were mentioning, five provinces but now actually, it is eight provinces, so it's fast developing — around 22 cities involved and more than 200 cases identified. more than 1,600 pregnant women have died in brazil since the beginning of the pan
