mariko oi in tokyo for us. president biden has ordered two million american government workers to get vaccinated, or else face compulsory covid testing and restrictions. the administration is struggling with increasing infection rates, while around half the population is refusing a jab. mr biden also offered incentives, including cash, for people who go to be vaccinated. our north america correspondent, david willis told me more. coronavirus cases have risen in all but one state over the last seven days. most of it fuelled by the spread of the delta variant, yet barely 50% of the population here is fully vaccinated. that leaves about 90 million americans who are eligible for a vaccine but have so far chosen not to get one. today, president biden expressed a measure of frustration and desperation, saying this was not political issues, this was nothing political, and he blamed misinformation, social media and other platforms, for the reasons for a lot of people not getting theirjabs. as you mentioned, he announce

thank you both very much forjoining us. let us know- much forjoining us. let us know your thoughts on that. you can get in touch on twitter. parents are being warned to look out for the signs of a common respiratory illness known as rsv. the virus normally spreads in the winter, but social distancing and lockdowns kept it at bay earlier this year. cases are now on the rise since lockdown restrictions were eased, and some children could be at risk of serious complications, including breathing difficulties. let's discuss this with the medical director for public health england, professor yvonne doyle. thank you forjoining us. rsv we see is common but it is a term i have only quite recently come across. i don't how widely known it is. can you tell us more about rsv and how common it has been? inaudible can you hear me? we cannot hear you. good morning. can you hear me? we cannot hear you. good morning-— good morning. loud and clear, thank ou. good good morning. loud and clear, thank you. good morning. _ good morning. loud and clear, thank you. good morning.

it had a difficult birth, but since last september, millions of us have used the nhs test and trace app to scan in when we visit a cafe or pub, and more importantly, to get alerts telling us when we may have been in contact with someone with covid—19. here's how it works. i've got the app and i'm waiting for a bus, standing reasonably close to a complete stranger who's also got it. 0ur phones are recording that contact. a day or so later, the stranger enters a positive covid test into the app, and that triggers an alert, telling me to go into isolation. the app was delayed after an early version trialled on the isle of wight proved unreliable and raised privacy concerns. one of those who advised the government to change tack says the final version has worked. something of the order of half a million to 600,000 cases were averted as a result of using this app. so that has to be worth it. the nhs covid—19 app has been downloaded nearly 26 million times, but we don't know how many people are still using it. more than a million positive test results have been recorded in the app, and th

what about us public opinion, david? well, it is interesting. support for remaining in afghanistan has been higher actually amongst democrats than it has republicans, but americans, of course, do not worry too much generally about foreign matters and i think a lot of people here have become somewhat ambivalent to what is going on overseas, especially given the problems that this country has experienced by itself domestically, in recent months and years. i think that there are signs anyway that a lot of people simply really do not care now and many would like to see the troops come home. and of course this all began at 9/11, didn't it so many years ago? indeed, yes, going in after 9/11 attacks and seeking to basically root out 0sama bin laden, to combat the taliban, which of course us forces were successful in doing but now they have regrouped and president biden made the point today or conceded at least, that the taliban is as strong now as it was when the mission began, as far as the us was concerned. he said, numerically of course, that the af

but on the whole, it's a fine day for most of us. and then from thursday onwards, we are expecting that high pressure to build right across the country. the winds will fall light. and given some sunshine, we'll see those temperatures recovering. in fact, we're expecting the mid—20s quite widely across the uk, but it really does depend where the winds going to be blowing from. for example, if it's coming in from the north, the north sea coasts could be a little bit chilly, but further inland, certainly around 25 or so. so here's the outlook, with monday and those showers there, maybe even one or two thunderstorms in the southeast, and then a steady climb in the temperatures as we head towards the weekend. that's it from me. bye—bye. this is bbc news, the headlines: footballs fans across italy are celebrating in the streets after the team won the euro 2020 championship in a hard—fought match against england in london. the game finished 1—1 after extra time but england crumbled during the penalties as their last three penalty ta
