america in the events coming up in the british isles, it is good the girls are back. hopefully will be coming back soon the whole team should be back as well. but this is a good start. there's always been plans to have a lead instrument here but the pandemic‘s restrictions slowed it down. the support is huge. it donated money was a fantastic and thatis it donated money was a fantastic and that is spread on so much more them in the media coverage is what women possible scarf needs and then there's the prize fund. is up in an easy few years but events like this certainly gives hope that in an uncertain time for everyone. do not

forget the bbc sports website. no premier league football but delete two playoffs under way. that's all from sportsday. good evening, you're watching bbc news. the downing street briefing which is held by the health secretary, he explained that the test and trace apples being delayed due to technical issues and that there was no date set for its release in england as of yet. he went on to talk about the vaccine and that adults over 50 of heart and kidney diseases would be prioritised. no excess deaths in england, he said this the first time

this happened since mid—march. and there are 135 deaths recorded with there are 135 deaths recorded with the positive coronavirus test in the past day, bringing the total number of deaths to:. you can talk now to the shadow health minister and labourmp andjustin, the shadow health minister and labour mp and justin, a pleasure to meet you. what is your reaction to the fact that the government is unable to give a date for the release of this app? it is in shambles unfortunately and it is when those all too predictable. we did advise the government last month that they should be looking at alternatives because the record in terms of nhs digital services is not been come the national office issued

recently that it suffer from unrealistic expectations and politically driven rush deployment and we find ourselves in this position today and last month, it will be vital in a civic duty not being able to know what it is going to actually be available is a real sorry state of affairs but u nfortu nately, sorry state of affairs but unfortunately, it is one that is all too predictable from some time ago. mr hancock did say that both apps are being developed and they're being developed since may but the nhs app in the google apple one. being developed since may but the nhs app in the google apple onem history there and for that statement, they said they were only looking at the nhs developed app and i hope it is right that they've been with me both because we certainly believe that is probably the more realistic way to go ahead and most countries the road from looking at existing tech providers to provide the software and it makes sense to go that particular way to get to

international travel where you want an app that will be functional around the world. but there are issues but this other app as well, about the distance. it is not so good at measuring the distance between people. this is why we need to understand the full extent of on the isle of wight, what happened there. there are opportunities to marry the best parts of book piece of software there would be great but we do not really know whether or not they'll be a realistic proposition because as of today, as you pointed out, you have no idea when you've got people like the health organisation and the government possibles on scientific advisers think that a tracing strategy is vital to the virus, we need to have better a nswers vital to the virus, we need to have better answers than we did today. this is all about preventing a tracing strategy is vital to the virus, we need to have better a nswe i’s virus, we need to have better answers than we did today. this is all about preventing the second

that is really important looking forward to get a turnaround in those tests a nd forward to get a turnaround in those tests and get people isolated as $0011 tests and get people isolated as 50011 as tests and get people isolated as soon as possible. we have to leave it there. thank you very much. time for a look at the weather now and let's go over to helen. good evening. it has been a fine day for us evening. it has been a fine day for us to scotland with sunshine not too many showers through the day, vista northern ireland but in england and wales, it is been called quality and wet. and —— call it cloudy. storms following but the rain is persistent amongst much of the different parts of england and wales, it is moving through the evening and at the end to northern england, it will be quite a warm night beginning quite a misty murky one with them see fog around in the east and some helpful ground in the west and a kind of crazed storage that we would clear away with outbreaks of rent that
