it's up to us to step overthem. plaudits, too, to cinematographer andre chemetoff, whose imposing views of romanian mountains double efficiently for upstate new york, and british composer daniel blumberg, whose music captures the discordant mood shifts with gut—wrenching aplomb. stones are what the fortunate receive. my mother's mother was born in 1780, right here in schoharie county. the result is a film that offers what appears to be an honest and accurate depiction of hard times, but in which any sense of hope orjoy lies not in this world, but in the world to come. it's in cinemas now. it's very important... he doesn't appreciate you touching the glass. and i don't appreciate his manner. senor? we don't need this. 0h. he's gotta bejoking. oh, gosh! ok, no need, senor, no need... i am an american citizen, senor, please! at the other end of the spectrum in terms of mood, heft, and, well, pretty much everything, actually, is off the rails — a daft bill kenwright—produced romp boasting a cheesy script, a starâ€

coming straight towards us. just coming across. right into the sun. well, we have been waiting quite a while, i was just about to give up hope, and around the corner came a beaver, totally worth being eaten alive by midges for, i think i've inhaled about 20 as well. totally worth it. we saw beavers! for my last leg of this journey, i am heading west to aberystwyth, a popular welsh holiday resort and home to a thriving student population. i am at the university's art centre where wales�* musical tradition is being given a new lease of life. sings in welsh. the two outside rows are like the white notes ona piano... plays harp. ..which means you get that nice echo sound, and the middle row are like the black notes. but i won't demonstrate because i never tune them, because life's too short. this is the triple harp, an instrument only played by a handful of people across the world. i think it's europe's only unbroken harping tradition. so it very nearly did die out, but it's great that recently i think there has been a surge in interest in young people.

we can find us on twitter. you can call us on and do have a look at our website for previous interviews. that is all from us and we are off the air for a few weeks now and will be back at the start of september. until then, goodbye. hello. a few places got close to 29 degrees on friday, it's likely over the weekend we will get above 30 for the first time this summer. mostly dry with hot sunshine and it is all because of high pressure which is taking up residence right on top of the uk. but notice there is a frontal system to the north, that will provide more cloud, especially across the north—west of scotland. some cloud to start the day across the irish sea coast, england, north wales, quite a lot of cloud for northern ireland and a little bit across the south of england. that will clear quite quickly but some mist and murk for northern ireland and a little bit across the south of england. that will clear quite quickly but some remaining for north—west scotland, 17 degrees in aberdeen, highs of 25. the clo

but i wasn't completely shocked — i'm used to it sort of thing. i've been to different areas and people set on cars on fire as a celebration. it's sort of like second nature now round here. there's always trouble, to be fair. there's always trouble. drugs, crime, stuff like that. former youth worker 0wen says some young people on the estate can face a very stark choice. if you have the capacity to earn £1500, £2000 a week involved in drugs or someone then comes to you and says we can get you back into education. in two years�* time you'll be qualified to a level that will allow you to go out and compete in thejob market for a job that earns potentially £2,000 a month then you have to take away taxes cost of transport. it's a very hard sell for someone who is responsible for feeding their family. why do you think it happened? i think it's been the perfect storm. it's decades and decades of chronic social depravation mixed with a global pandemic. young people forced to isolate, and then the tragic death of one of their friends. it's notjust may

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.

but jack is very much one for taking himself on flying even with us. he just wants to get on with hisjob. at least he is able to spend time poolside with his girlfriend lois toulson, who is diving from the higher ten metre board at her second olympic games. lois is doing the platform ten metres as well, so you - see her up there and l think oh, you know... she hasjust been bonkers- from being young, she just goes for it. the first thought was a double - olympian, then for them to be there together because the kind of, the romance started in rio, . so for them to be there as a couple is really— nice for them both. i am jack's number one fan. it's just like jack taking six penalties. how we bow out at football finals, jack only has two seconds per dive and that's it, bang. he is on the move! jack and lois�*s family... cheering. up and down the land, these scenes have been repeated whatever time of day or night it may be. in keeping with the way of doing things over the last 18 months, i caught up with others feeling similar emotions from home. joe fr

it's real life for all of us, because not only are we ageing, but those of us who are lucky enough to still have parents around, we see them advancing in years as well. and i know this is personal for you because you've written about the fact that your parents, and particularly your mother is struggling a great deal with dementia. i think she's about to turn 90. so was that something very much in your mind as you wrote this? oh, certainly what's happening with my parents has played a part in my interest. i mean, afterall, we... that's what we go through. if we're fortunate enough to have parents who, you know, last, then we also often have to go through the misfortune of watching them deteriorate. and that is very emotional, notjust because, you know, generally we care about them and treasure our images of our parents in their prime, but also it's, obviously, the writing on the wall. when you watch your parents get old, it's usually the first time you register on a really gut level that it's going to happen to you. you, ithink, relish plain speaking, so i'm going to ask you a very dir

the ping, but using testing rather than isolation. but does it not potentially create problems in future if people do not isolate? because if someone goes into a workplace when they have been pinged and then they subsequently test positive and then potentially they put at risk a bigger proportion of the workforce. well, that is why they should actually be testing constantly every day. we do have these test kits and we are told that they are very, very good. they are not perfect, but then neither is vaccination perfect, so our view in the london chamber is that all businesses should basically tell their staff to use the ping. if it goes off they should use lateral flow tests or a pcr test and then just carry on, unless it is positive, in which case stay away. if this were not adopted, what is the... what is the worst possible scenario? the worst possible scenario is particularly small businesses going out of business, having managed to struggle through for the past 15 months. these people and businesses really are on the edge now and t

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 for 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 phone app or home wi—fi, it seems some are smarter than others. my name is christopher hamilton

and it's actually quite simple to use. first you point your phone at something — like my cat, here, neo. you press search, and then from there, the app asks google assistant what the object is that i'm pointing at. and it gives me an answer! it tells me he's a black cat, and, funnily enough, being a black cat, he might actually be good luck. didn't know that. so the lens app itself can translate text in front of you, where you can buy a shirt, and it can even help you cheat on your homework. and with google's insanely huge data bank, after years of searching and info gathering, the apps computer vision is pretty accurate, with machine learning in—built in case the algorithm misses anything. and lens is impressing in other unique ways. so, what i'm gonna do to test this out is take a picture of this view in front of me, zoom in a little bit, get past the trees, and there we go — the london skyline. and a lot is going on here. what lens is doing is it's tapping in to google earth's sd representation of the planet, it's

i'm really concerned with was in front of us right now. delta is a very transmissible, more than anything we've seen and it does take anything we've seen and it does take a partially vaccinated population and we are very fortunate in the united states to have to send a 50% vaccinated, but in the world where there are a lot of vaccine in equities, that's a vulnerable population because viruses, they mutate where they can spread. the more the virus spreads, the more likely it is to mutate and that something we need to see as a public health issue. i just want to ask you about the uk: this experiment to open up — the world is watching — what do you make of the uk's decision? very similar to how i felt about the united states. i think it was a bit premature, especially with the search that the uk was experiencing. 0f search that the uk was experiencing. of these wonderful vaccines and they are very advantageous but not perfect and does a lot we have to do to vaccinate everybody. if you're going to open up, it needs to be slowly and on the

help us to be a virus, i believe we should use them. president biden also said he is calling on the us defence department to consider making a coronavirus vaccine one of the required vaccinations it gives to members of the military here. were that to be the military here. were that to be the case, about another 1.5 million people would be vaccinated automatically and he has talked of reimbursing small and medium—sized businesses who give their staff paid time off in order to go and get vaccinated. as to whether all this will work, we were just had to wait and see. if it does not, the next alternative really is some sort of mandatory measures, something the biden administration is unwilling to deploy. the uk government�*s encouraging more of us to cycle and walk more, as part of a new multi million pound investment in the country�*s infrastructure. also people who have been fully vaccinated in the eu or us will not need to isolate when coming to england from an amber list country, but this excludes france. let�*s discuss both of

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

for wednesday, we still have the high with us. again, an indicator that to the east of england, just enough instability sits in the atmosphere for us to see some thunderstorms breaking out, perhaps earlier in the day, midday into the afternoon on wednesday. bit more cloud across the northeast of england, that, i think, will linger, actually, for north sea coasts. so cooler for the likes of newcastle and hull. you can still see plenty of heat elsewhere, mid—to—high—20s widely, those temperatures. and the extreme heat warning stands for those parts of england and wales on into thursday. friday is a different story — the temperatures are easing back, fresher air is arriving. where is it coming from? it's getting pulled in around an area of low pressure that will be starting to approach the southwest of the uk. overnight friday can they may start to throw in some showers, certainly it looks like there will be plenty of those circulating around in time for the weekend. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. after 16 mon

us gymnast simone biles has withdrawn from further events. i asked our reporter, tanya dendrinos for the latest. it is very sad for her. she went in with the weight of the world on her shoulders. clearly at the top of her game, she has been suffering with a phenomenon known as the twisties, which causes a journalist to lose their sense of space and dimension in the air which is incredibly terrifying given the manoeuvres they are trying to compete with. a statement from usa gymnastics red, simone biles has decided to withdraw from the finals events. we wish her all the best as well. we are into super saturday, and already some records and the pool? team gb is just pool? team gb isjust claimed a world record. watch the smiles on their faces, record. watch the smiles on theirfaces, getting out of record. watch the smiles on their faces, getting out of the pool their faces, getting out of the pool, that was breathless. big celebrations for the swimming team. michaela dressel claimed gold in the 100 metres butterfly. another world record. —— c

none of us know. if you asked me to kind of, you know, place my bets from things that i know about other related, kind of post viral immunological effects, i�*d be disappointed if most people with long covid weren�*t better orfeeling quite a lot better within two or three years max, i hope. that�*s a long time to feel as ill, as many of us do. it could mean many thousands of people are off work for years, a significant impact on the economy and the nhs. my guesstimate is that the healthcare needs for those people run in to the billions, and it�*s notjust the money, it�*s which clinic will they be seen in? who will the doctors be? who will the nurses be? as the interview ends, nuala has some questions of her own about the illness she too has had to cope with. why did my body think covid was still there? that�*s a good question. one of doctors said to me it was almost like a ghost of the virus in your blood system. i don�*t know and they still don�*t know if it was the live virus that wa
