many of the baseline measures we use, things like face coverings, physical distancing, rigorous hand hygiene, advising on good ventilation, these are going to continue to be important mitigations in protecting ourselves and others from the virus, perhaps for some time yet. some scottish cases were linked to euro 2020 football. now it's been suggested as a factor in england after research showing men were nearly a third more likely than women to test positive. whatever the reason, the data will be watched closely ahead of final decisions on ending restrictions in england. hugh pym, bbc news. the england team returned to training at their base in staffordshire today after their nail—biting win against denmark last night. gareth southgate's men secured their first place in a major final since the 1966 world cup in front of a crowd of 60,000 at wembley. their victory sparked celebrations across the country that went on long into the night. they'll now face italy in the euro 2020 final on sunday evening. here's our sports editor, dan roan. # touching me... # touching you... wembley had

instead, the government is asking us to use our common sense, make personal decisions about how we stay safe. it's a big shift in approach, but it comes at a time when cases are rising. the prime minister has been marking the nhs's birthday, and making sure hospitals can cope has been at the heart of his covid strategy. can you tell us how bad you expect it to get afterjuly and the restrictions being lifted? obviously, we have to be cautious and we will continue to look at all the data as we progress. if we don't go ahead now, when the summer fire break is coming up, the school holidays, all the advantages that should give us in fighting the virus, the question is, when would we go ahead? what the modelling would imply is that we will reach that peak before we get to the point where we have the kind of pressures we saw in january, for example, of this year. for some, the facemask has become a hated symbol of intrusive government. it will still be recommended in hospitals and crowded indoor public spaces, where mrjohnson said he would still wear one. but the legal requirement for face co

there was maybe about 50 of us and there are only ten of us left or something. the scottish government has committed a quarter of £1 billion to addressing the emergency, but this recovering addict, who is now a community worker, says that money must trickle down. there is always noise, always all this money to be invested and, "we're going to have this policy and that policy," but it doesn't do anything. they need to be investing in the communities, where they know the people, they know the problems they have. in glasgow this afternoon, a vigil for those who lost their lives, their families and friends gathered around a provocative symbol they hope will focus minds on the crisis. they say they are no longerjust calling for change, but demanding it. and lorna joins me now. these numbers keep on rising. a huge challenge and one proving very difficult to tackle.— difficult to tackle. sophie, a long-running _ difficult to tackle. sophie, a long-running issue - difficult to tackle. sophie, a long-running issue here - difficult to tackle. sophie, a long-running iss

greenidge argues that because it uses gas, it's greener than bitcoin mines that use coal in the us and china, and they've pledged to invest in a solar energy plant. but the process still generates carbon dioxide, that greenidge says they offset. we are 100% carbon neutral in our bitcoin mining operation. but you're still putting fossil fuels into the air. you wouldn't need to offset them if this didn't happen. this is a gas plant, and approximately 50% of the grid in new york state is powered by natural gas so like all natural gas plants, whether it's in new york or the rest of the country, this plant does emit carbon. some local politicians, though, are concerned. do you want greenidge to close down? personally, it absolutely should. it should not be using fossil fuel to run these computer processors to benefit a few people on wall street — for what? it's not worth it. politicians around the world are still trying to work out how to deal with bitcoin�*s greedy energy consumption. companies like greenidge think that they are the future, but plenty of others think that reopening pla

and i think that's what cost us, to be honest, it cost us a medal. there were two more fourth—place finishes for british crews today but the tide did turn. silver in the men's quadruple sculls. a first medal in this event for team gb at the olympics. dan roan, bbc news, tokyo. the rider charlotte dujardin has become great britain's most decorated female olympian of all time with six olympic medals. she won bronze in the individual dressage. charlotte won two golds at london 2012, gold and silver in rio and now in tokyo she has added two bronze medals to her record—breaking collection, as our sports correspondent natalie pirks reports. when your nine—year reign is over, but bronze still feels like victory — charlotte dujardin danced straight into the record books. commentator: come on, charlotte! gio, or pumpkin to his friends, was incredibly inexperienced, so just how do you teach a horse to dance? with a master trainer and a touch of telepathy. the relationship that these two have is just phenomenal. equine ballet was served for the judges a

this used to be our music production office. do you remember? and we turned it into an investigations room. it is a measure of the establishment's failure that it took the abuse survivors themselves to piece together the full scale and horror of what had happened. these are care records. so, we've got 1,600 care records... raymond stevenson, himself abused at the now notorious shirley 0aks children's home, turned his music production office into an incident room. an equal number of case files and references... the shirley 0aks survivors association has helped hundreds of victims claim more than £75 million in compensation from lambeth council, and there are many more. how dare you? we have worked out the paedophile ring from day dot... this afternoon, dozens of survivors assembled to give their verdict on the inquiry report. this is a missed opportunity. the failure to identify the police involvement in this cover—up isjust horrendous, and actually leaves the public exposed. in a statement today, the metropolitan police apologised for letting

that we are the ones to beat and they've got to come and get us. and it'sjust, i don't know, i still honestly can't believe what's happening. for matty lee, gold on his olympic debut is quite the story. but for tom daley, it's the hollywood ending to a story we've all been following since beijing. i'm going to the olympic games. he calls himself the grandad of the team. but he was once the baby. along the way, he lost his biggest cheerleader, his father robbie. claimed individual bronze in london. and another in synchro in rio. in between those games he came out and later married the film—maker dustin lance black. in 2018 their son robbie was born, changing his world. his career is worthy of a movie. his oscar—winning husband watched it all play out, along with tom's mum debbie. cheering. yes! oh, my god! to have watched tom dedicate his entire self to this for the eight plus years we've been together, you know, i've wanted this for him so badly. and i think tom's probably cried this many times since i've known him. and last night was the most

yes, it is very different from what all of us had imagined, but let us cherish this moment. finally we are all here together. in a ceremony that lasted almost four hours, the olympic flag arrived and was raised. the traditional anthem of the games, the backdrop, before the pictograms that represent each sport were given a unique and mesmerising twist. after a torch relay that has already spent much of its journey away from the public, the flame arrived. the final torchbearer — japanese tennis star naomi osaka, given the honour of climbing the steps of the symbolic mount fuji stage to light the cauldron. fuelled by hydrogen for the first time, in a bid to hold a more environmentally friendly olympics. if this didn't help get the hosts behind the event, nothing would. at long last, and despite such controversy, the games have begun. dan roan, bbc news, tokyo. public opinion injapan has been firmly against the olympics going ahead because of covid. under 25% of the population are fully vaccinated and cases are rising sharply, with more than 3000 a day now. many japanese are f

most of us mid to high 20s. friday still a very warm day, would not necessarily class it as a very hot day but warm enough, temperatures into the mid or high 20s to my notice and blue, some rain here and thunderstorms brewing just to the southwest of us. and this is an area of low pressure which will drag in fresh or atlantic air and push which will drag in fresh or atlantic airand push the which will drag in fresh or atlantic air and push the hot air towards more eastern parts of europe. this can be very slow moving thunderstorms and they can bring an awful lot of rainfall in a short space of time and that's to come this weekend, saturday and sunday especially across the southern half of the uk. something to bear in mind.

and that also led to a big argument between us. accusing somebody of having undue influence, which is what you are doing, is a big claim. the prime minister doesn't have a plan and he doesn't know how whitehall works. someone is going to set the agenda. it is going to be the civil service, or the vote leave team, or carrie. as soon as the election was one night, her view was, why should it be dominic and the leave team, why shouldn't it be me that is pulling the strings? in response to mr cummings' claims, downing street told us political appointments are entirely made by the prime minister. in the end, you lose the argument, you lose that influence. that's what happened, isn't it? yeah, in fact, literally immediately after the election, it was already clear that this was a problem. before mid january, we were having meetings in numberten, saying it is clear that carrie wants rid of all of us. at that point, we were already saying by the summer he would be gone from here or we would be in the process of trying to get rid of him and

let's go to our correspondent, colletta smith, who's at manchester airport for us now. those balearic islands of ibiza, majorca and menorca are really popular with young people always, and lots of them have been unable to get their second vaccination yet, which puts them in a difficult conundrum if they have a holiday already booked for this summer. they have to decide if they can quarantine, if that's possible or feasible for them, or whether they postpone or cancel their holiday, which potentially means losing out financially as a result, so yet again there is a government decision that has very different implications depending on your age. it's more choppy waters for those dreaming of a summer getaway, as the traffic lights have changed colours again. for those about to fly off it will mean quarantine and more tests when this woman gets home. the mean quarantine and more tests when this woman gets home.— this woman gets home. the timing of the test and — this woman gets home. the timing of the test and things... _ this woman gets home. the timing of the test and

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. 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 they've triggered nearly two and a half million contact tracing alerts, sending people into isolation. you can see here how there's been a spike in those alerts, as cases have risen in the last few weeks. the fact that thousands of locations ask you to scan in to register a visit has encouraged use of the app. but what happens when places like this are told they no longer need to get people to check in? it seems possible that many customers will simply decide to turn the app off, especially given the high number of
