sarah, tell us a bit more about what happened to the us gymnast? good morning from tokyo. it was really amazing as all eyes were on the american superstar simone biles. she was going in that team event in the gymnastics. she did vault as the first piece of apparatus she was doing and was unhappy with it. afterwards she left the arena for a while and we were wondering what was going on. she did reappear and did seem to have her armed guards on what suggesting she would take part in the next event but however we send out a statement from the us gymnastics saying she would not compete in the rest of the event. now she has been afterwards since then, saying she needed to protect her mental health and she did not quite feel at the races within her performance and the fall and wanted to protect yourself and i think it's a really interesting discussion point for sports and athletes of the moment because we are so used to hearing about athletes getting their physical injuries but this was something that the mobile said is more prevalent in sport now and that she really wanted to p

we are used to the cold, to be honest with you, and we are not used to these high temperatures. it is a very challenging time for those who are living on the streets, who are homeless, and people are volunteering, giving out water and pizza, and also the city of edmonton has opened recreation centres, libraries, places for people to cool down in air conditioning. and in terms of the fires, we are seeing pictures now ofjust one of them, and the intense smoke that is billowing across large parts of canada, and ijust wonder how bad things are, in terms of those fires, where you are. have you heard anything about that? so, at the moment, everyone is concentrating on british columbia because there are all these active fires that are happening there. different communities are being evacuated. in edmonton, what is happening in is the safety minister has announced there will be a basic set up here so that firefighters can have a place to have a bit of relief, there can be aviation resources available, and if there are more people who have to be evacuated, they would come to edmonton, wh

if we broke it, use it against us. if we didn't, defend us with it. ministers today appear to have concluded that the rule of law no longer applies. an amnesty for the republican and loyalist terrorists who portrayed, maimed, disappeared and murdered men, women and children. addressing the toxic legacy of the past in this way through unilateral imposition for westminster without the support of any political party in northern ireland is foolish and unsustainable. a way forward has to be found. one done with people, not to them, that genuinely prioritises reconciliation and upholds the rule of law. it's striking that the secretary of state made scant reference to the government's obligations under article two to conduct effective investigations. if his proposals are not legal, they will be tied up in the courts for many years to come. the work of operation can over is demonstrating that even now important evidence can be retrieved. the case way, hence of legacy process, as outlined in storr malthouse, through investigations with empty micro police power

johnjoins us now. maybe you can explain it for us now from a business point of view in northern ireland how they see this working or not working at the moment, how many problems it is causing them and what it means to their businesses. certainly. anybody who is trying to bring food products in from britain to anywhere on the island of ireland is facing because of northern ireland and the republic of ireland... bringing in products across the i receipt so you have to abide by the strict rules on how you get those products into the single market. a lot of form of in some suppliers in great britain don't want to send any more. there could be delays and food can be wasted and spoiled while it is going through all these processes. the fact these issues have arisen is no real surprise. fact these issues have arisen is no realsurprise. it fact these issues have arisen is no real surprise. it was well protected but without some sort of special agri— food agreement, there is not a very easy way to solve these

us, why are they coming? tea and treats in the city centre. sweet moments for afghans who can afford them. the kind of life many young afghans here, men and women, want to live. growing insecurity already threatens it. we are hurrying, just coming to the restaurant, coming to a cafe, meeting our friends, just go home. the taliban say this is a western lifestyle. maybe they say we are acting like europeans or american people. but i think it's not true. we have the right to choose our life. a lot is being knocked out of afghan lives. at this popular bowling alley, we hear notjust worry about the taliban. the government is failing them too, even in promoting sports like this. munir ahmad assafi is a national champion. translation: fewer people are coming here now. - before we used to gather about a0 people, we would divide into teams and hold competitions, but that doesn't happen any more. the changes over the past 20 years in afghanistan have brought new measures of freedom to many living in kabul. it's a life

it's good to have you with us. why has the region seen this sharp increase that it didn't see perhaps in earlier waves? i think there is a mixture of reasons, one is the delta variant is twice as infectious as the original strain that came from wuhan so that's made a lot of difference. there is also an element of complacency because for instance in australia we haven't had any significant transmission for close to a year and that was mainly in melbourne so people are closer together than they were last winter and winter is the time when it really spreads and it is currently winter here, so it is not a surprise we have had outbreaks. the outbreak in sydney is a bit bigger than we would have expected, 250 cases or thereabouts today which by world standards is still very low, but much concern here because we still don't have enough of the population vaccinated.— enough of the population vaccinated. �* ., ., vaccinated. and on that point do ou vaccinated. and on that point do you think _ vaccinated. and on that poi

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
