us. good to talk to you. with supporters from around the world not allowed to attend these games, many have had to settle for watching from fanzones in their countries. in the indian capital, delhi, the indian sports minister and his deputy invited former athletes and children from several of the city's sports clubs to watch the live event and cheer for their country's team. in the french capital, paris, people gathered in the trocadero gardens to watch the opening ceremony. the square has been turned into an open—air fanzone with a large screen that will show the competition for the next four weeks, olympics followed by paralympics. across the channel in sunny london, which hosted the games in 2012, a zone near the olympic stadium has been set up complete with deck chairs and entertainment for spectators, including one former two—time olympic medallist fatima whitbread. and in the us capital, washington, in spite of the 13—hour difference with japan, bars opened in the early mornin

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

it's going to be quite a mild night for most of us. now, by tomorrow, that low pressure is set to the east of us inside of the south—west, so, different distribution of the showers, more around southern and eastern areas circulating around that area of low pressure, but, equally, it's still low pressure, so there's going to be some sharp downpours further north and west, but, perhaps, here, some of the longer spells of sunshine. i think quite warm in the sunshine. of the longer spells of sunshine. now, the reason that we have got low pressure to the east of us is the jet stream has dived southwards, so that low pressure's developed across central parts of europe, it hangs around for much of the week, just drifting a bit further eastwards and allowing this ridge of high pressure, the azores high, to move in its place with some weak weather fronts in the north, but for tuesday, still the risk of a few lively downpours, particularly central and eastern areas close to that area of low pressure. wouldn't like to rule out some more persist

low pressure with us for the start of the week, hence that flooding rain in places. the low transfers out into continental europe, most of the thundery downpours are away the other side of the channel. but the low is close enough by to bring the threat of heavy showers towards the south east but generally, we have fewer, lighter showers, turning drier from the west, bit more sunshine coming through, so temperatures a little higher on tuesday. and it continues to dry out during wednesday as that rain pushes away. yes, we'll find a weak weather front arriving in the northwest, bringing more cloud, but otherwise dry and decent spells of sunshine. as a result, those temperatures up to 25 degrees. it won't get hot just yet, we have the high pressure building in towards the uk but this is where the air is coming from, more of a northerly breeze. but certainly an improvement as the week goes on. starting wet withflooding rains in places. from midweek onwards, much drier with sunshine and looks as though summer is coming home at last. this is bbc news, with the latest headli

now the us wants to build a new radar system for deep space. and one of the new sites could be in the uk. what could end up in the uk is an array of parabolic antennas, and it could be anywhere from ten to 15 for tracking, and potentially four to six for transmitting. so it would cover a large area, would it? it would cover a large area for it to receive — probably an area of one kilometre in diameter. the deep space advanced radar capability, which will be able to detect and object the size of a football up to 36,000 kilometres away, is being developed here in california. one of the sites visited by the british defence secretary this week, who wants to strengthen cooperation on space — not least to protect critical national infrastructure. space is a growing domain for both commerce, but also to protect all the key national infrastructure that we need to in today's world. it is under threat. in some areas, our adversaries are weaponising space, so we have to make sure at the very least we're providing resilience. the locations of the deep

don't forget to use our hashtag. i would love to read out some of your comments to get a real sense of what you think about this issue. and later on i will be talking in the next hour at about ten past ten with a nightclub owner. so they are saying that they think there needs to be extra support to make up the shortfall but i would love to hear from you on this today. the nhs has been given the green light to roll out a booster vaccine programme this autumn. the extra dose will be given to the over—50s and anyone eligible for a flu jab. flu numbers are expected to be higher than normal this year, meaning extra protection against covid is likely to be needed to prevent too many hospital admisisons. now we are alive to the mansion house where we expect the governor of the bank of england to begin his speech. as the government announces plans to grow investment in the uk. can i underline your recognition of the memory of roger gifford and his important role he played. there the memory of roger gifford and his importan

first time for us. i'm double—vaxxed so i thought it would all be all right coming back. i work in a primary school so i wanted to be able to spend the month with my family, so disappointed. i don't really understand why. something maybe about the beta variant? it's meant to be less dangerous? i don't know. if you're sitting at home thinking, why has the government made this decision? as you heard, some of those people talking, it is to do with the beta variant, which was first identified in south africa. a lot of cases at the moment in france, and there are concerns that vaccines might not work as well against that particular variant. travel firms have off—course been furious about this decision, they say it is causing confusion, but the health secretary has responded saying he is doing everything he can to prevent the spread of the virus. just to be super clear, if you are travelling to france today, you will need to quarantine when you return back to england and regardless of how many vaccines you have had. for anybody else arriving from any of the amber list countri

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
