broad sealed his place in one of cricket's elite clubs. just the second player to take 500 wickets, after team—mate jimmy anderson, who was there to congratulate him. among the first to pay tribute, the man stuart broad called his hero, david steele, who coached him as a schoolboy. nobody could have had a better start with his career. he stayed in there, the right things, and that's the key of it. eh? why has he done it? because of what the game means to him. broad resume centre stage again. the bowler this time turned catcher... commentator: broad wants it, broad calls it, broad takes it. ..as shai hope gave him and england another excuse to celebrate. the hosts are now closing in on victory — chris woakes was another west indies wicket. a morning, then, which belonged to england, but above all to this man. andy swiss, bbc news. time for a look at the weather.

here's stav da naos. thanks, simon. good afternoon. a much brighter day than yesterday. pretty typical use of the skies gci’oss pretty typical use of the skies across the country from this weather watcher in perry vale. today, you will not is cooler and fresher than yesterday and quite breezy with a few showers around and that is because we still have yesterday's low pressure affecting our weather from the norwegian sea —— from this weather watcher in perivale. you will notice from the eyes of ours particularly in the northern half of the country, pressure building. —— the country, pressure building. —— the isobars. wind gusts. lots of showers, wet and windy for the northern isles and most of the showers affecting western parts of the country. a few getting in towards the east as well. but a better chance of staying dry through the afternoon. mid to high teens celsius, so again it will be cool for this time of year. through tonight, that cool air and winds a little lighter. it stays windy and

quite wet across the north of scotla nd quite wet across the north of scotland but with those clear spells coming back to those of 8—10 for many, but even lower in some sheltered spots. a cool start to wednesday but mainly dry because we start to see high pressure building across southern start to see high pressure building across southern areas. start to see high pressure building across southern areas. a good amount of sunshine certainly through the morning on the south bit of cloud into the afternoon. this weather front with low pressure pushing into northern ireland around irish sea coast springing spots of light rain and drizzle. warming up a little on the south, still quite cool in the north. thursday, we see this area of low pressure skipped past the north and west of the uk and the high pressure continues to build over the near continent. dry, sunny, and a very warm day for much of england and wales. the rain for northern england and northern ireland pushes into scotland, and as it does so it will become a little warmer across southern scotland and northern ireland, but a much warmer day for england and wales, mid to high 20s celsius, and quite humid. friday, we

really ta p celsius, and quite humid. friday, we really tap into that warm air across the near continent moving up from france, and that warmth will reach even much of scotland too. a very warm, sunny even much of scotland too. a very warm, sunny and humid day here, and we have this weather front out west, though, which could slowly encroach into northern ireland and western scotla nd into northern ireland and western scotland producing a few thunderstorms. a bit of uncertainty on that but what is sure is friday will be a much warmer day, temperatures packed into the low 30s celsius across the south. then we see that cooler and fresher atlantic air working see that cooler and fresher atlantic airworking in see that cooler and fresher atlantic air working in across the uk. back to you, simon. thank you for that, stav. a reminder of our top story... borisjohnson defends the decision to impose a quarantine on all holiday—makers returning from spain, amid calls for the government to change its blanket approach. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. and from me, a very good afternoon.

good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. we start with england, who are five wickets away from winning the deciding test against the west indies. before lunch, stuart broad made history by becoming only the second english bowler to take 500 test wickets. our reporter alison mitchell is part of the test match special team and joins me now. it was always going to be a matter of when broad reached that milestone today. when it came it was a special moment. yes, celebrated with gusto by stuart broad. it is an amazing milestone for him to reach and is testa m e nt to milestone for him to reach and is testament to a lot of hard work, aaron miles, travel, a lot of skill, a lot of self—improvement, as well. every cricketer goes through ups and downs, as has been the case with broad, but actually his self—improvement is evident. he ta kes

self—improvement is evident. he takes this 500th wicket at a time when his average has never been lower. i heard michael vaughan say he is not just lower. i heard michael vaughan say he is notjust a grid of english cricket, but of the game. does broad get the credit he deserves?” suppose stuart broad because my career has been built as a couple, him andjimmy career has been built as a couple, him and jimmy anderson. sue career has been built as a couple, him andjimmy anderson. sue probably not. this is his moment and i think it will be celebrated as his moment. his father is in the ground because he is the match referee. 0ften his father is in the ground because he is the match referee. often as well he is talked about as the son of his father, and opening bat. you can publicly —— be pleased for the family asa can publicly —— be pleased for the family as a whole, because it is not played a huge role in his cricketing upbringing. cricket runs throughout

theirfamily. for upbringing. cricket runs throughout their family. for his father to upbringing. cricket runs throughout theirfamily. for his father to be here, is very special. but it is stuart broad's moment. you look at the list of wicket takers, he has taken 15 wickets in the series already. he very soon will have courtney walsh in his sights at 519 test wickets, then glenn mcgrath at 563 a bove test wickets, then glenn mcgrath at 563 above that. still much more to come from him. we know the frustration of your‘s wash—out. england closing in on victory this afternoon. an annoying rain shower over the lunch break. they have now resumed. england need five more wickets. the west indies attack has not been able to hold firm over long periods of time. for carlos brathwaite for stuart broad to get his wicket, he was a key one because he does have that ability to stay at the crease for a long period.

england have five wickets within their sights, theyjust england have five wickets within their sights, they just need england have five wickets within their sights, theyjust need to whether to stay away. alison mitchell, thank you. before we go, a reminder there's live tennis going on right now. it's day two of the battle of the brits event at the national tennis centre in roehampton. the british number one, jo konta, who lost tojodie burrage yesterday, is taking on katie boulter. earlier, cameron norrie beat jan choinski in straight sets. andy murray is in mixed doubles action later. you can watch it all live now on the bbc sport website and app. that's all the sport for now, more in the next hour. the changes to quarantine rules for those returning to the uk from spain and its islands have disrupted the travel plans of thousands of people. my colleague carrie gracie has this morning been answering some of your queries about that, with the help of travel experts — in your questions answered.

so, questions from viewers confused about the new quarantine rules for travellers returning to the uk from spain. with us to help answer those questions, independent travel expert wendy haynes and consumer expert jane hawkes. this one from matthew in camberley says, "i booked a flight, separate hotel, to barcelona leaving on the 15th of august. both were booked prior to the pandemic. the hotel has cancelled my booking, but easyjet say they are still flying. my travel insurance is invalid. does easyjet have to give me a refund, and if not, do i have any rights?" the answer is they don't have to refund at the moment because the flights are actually operating, although that situation could change. two weeks in travel terms is a long time away. i would approach easyjet and ask them if you could move yourflight

rather than just potentially lose your money at this stage, if you are thinking that you're not wanting to travel, that would be my best advice. thank you. now, jane, this one from andrew shaw. "due to the nature of my frontline key workerjob, i have had five covid—19 tests. these involve strict procedures at a test centre. i drive to it, swabs are taken. on each occasion, i have had an e—mail within 2a hours that clearly and reassuringly states that when i had the test i did not have the virus. my question is, if these tests are accurate, why can't i arrive home, self—isolate for as long as it takes to get a test, and then return to a non—isolated life if the test comes back negative? yours, frustratingly, andrew". that, also, jane, i would say is a question that we have had from so many people — if i have had a test, cannot ijust get on with my life? yes, and it is a frustration i share

and i can see that from andrew, but unfortunately, quarantine is quarantine, so it doesn't matter at the moment. testing is not being taken into account, so it doesn't matter whether you have had testing, you do have antibodies or whatever, you will still be subject to the same rules when you return and will have to do quarantine. it does depend where you are going to, so keep an eye on the fco website, because you can check out the restrictions for where you are travelling to, because of course there are exemptions. there are some countries you can come back and you won't have to quarantine anyway. unfortunately, as well, key workers are not exempt from quarantine, which you would imagine maybe they would be. well, that's probably not the answer that andrew wanted, but thanks for the straight answer, anyway. wendy, this one from scott came in via twitter. "i'm a foster carer going to minorca in a week's time. can i be exempt from the quarantine on my return?" i think at this stage, unfortunately, there's a very good chance you won't be going on your holiday, to be honest. however, to answer the question, i do believe that the quarantine

restrictions advise that key workers don't travel if there is that quarantine restriction in place, anyway. i would be looking at maybe changing or cancelling your holiday, unfortunately. more bad news. amelia asks, jane, "i am due to go to the balearics soon, but i have coronavirus antibodies. do i still need to self—isolate when i get back?" well, again, this links in to the previous question. this is something that is not taken into consideration at the moment. but you can't actually go to the islands at the moment, either. the spanish government are appealing that, so it could be that that changes. where we stand at the moment is to keep a close eye on what is going on, because you may not be able to travel there anyway, therefore you will have to go down the lines of trying to get a refund or a rebook, depending on what kind of holiday you have got — whether it's a package or you have booked things separately. if you do go and it is a country

that you do have to isolate when you come back, go into quarantine, then that is what you will have to do, regardless of any testing or any antibodies you have got. thank you. pamela asks, wendy, this is one for you, i think, "i have a flight booked from friday, 31stjuly to 10th august, can i still go? i can isolate for two weeks when i get back. ryanair haven't cancelled the flights". similarly, danny from the west midlands, asks, "if my flight to majorca still takes place this weekend and i travel on it, what are the potential consequences for me?" ok, i think you need to keep an eye on those airline websites because there is a chance your flight will be cancelled and that could be at very short notice. also, you need to check your travel insurance. if you are travelling anywhere against foreign office advice, then your travel insurance is very likely to become invalid, and we wouldn't recommend that you travel anywhere without valid travel insurance. this one also on insurance,

from jackie baker, "will my insurance accept my claim for flight refunds to tenerife if the government has said not to go, but my flight is still going with ryanair?" well, if the flight is still going, then you're in a difficult position. you can check your own travel insurance, but they very restrictive now with very limited cover, so it depends when you took that insurance policy out. if it was early march, then potentially there is some kind of leeway there. generally, if you're on a package holiday, then are covered by the package travel arrangements, therefore, you would be entitled to that refund if the fco advice is not to travel to that particular destination. however, if you booked things separately, like flights and hotels, then i'm afraid that you are subject to that airline or carrier or operator's terms and conditions and you will have to liaise with them as to what you can actually do, and that could be a rebook, but it will probably not be a refund. wendy, this one from a very frustrated viewer who says,

"for those returning and those travelling to spain in the next few weeks, how does the government expect them to live on no wages for 1h days? also, for those wanting to cancel a holiday, they will be penalised with cancellation fees. ryanair not refunding flights, so these will be lost. more money down the drain. i don't know how the prime minister expects working—class people to adhere to these rules, implemented at very short notice, without compensation. i would like the question asked as to why the pm let holidays go ahead and rush to open the borders, and now the working—class public are paying for it". i feel your pain, honestly. things change at such short notice. this time last week, flights were starting taking off and people were having a lovely times on their holidays and we were starting to see some green shoots of normality. however, i believe the government goes on advice and that can change hourly, and they have to protect us, so things can change, unfortunately, and there may be costs involved with that.

i think the main messages if you are planning on travelling anywhere this year, you have to be prepared that those plans may change. wendy and jane, thanks for all your wisdom and your warnings. we will see you again soon. i have some breaking news coming from 0ldham. there has been a spike of coronavirus cases there. the number of positive cases increasing dramatically in the last seven days. the council are introducing measures to try to stop this, saying vulnerable and elderly people who have been shielding us to continue to do so for another two weeks from friday, 31stjuly. to do so for another two weeks from friday, 31st july. there to do so for another two weeks from friday, 31stjuly. there has been a spike of more than 100 cases in a

week and, starting today, residents have been told they cannot have social visitors to their homes, you must keep two metres apart from friends and family wanting them outside. the authorities say a significant proportion of recent cases involve multiple people testing positive within a single household. they say that that shows that household a real issue, especially in cases where large families lived together under the same roof. tougher being introduced, ain'taimed at same roof. tougher being introduced, ain't aimed at stopping a full government lockdown being mandated in the area. this comes after 190 new cases of the virus were recorded in the seven days up to the 25th of july. that is a fourfold increase in the previous week. that means 0ldham now has our infection rate of 50.2 per 100,000 people, that compared to 10.2 just per 100,000 people, that compared to 10.2justa

per 100,000 people, that compared to 10.2just a week per 100,000 people, that compared to 10.2 just a week before. local authorities in 0ldham are now taking authorities in 0ldham are now taking a grip on the issue before the national government does so, so just four days ago the government dropping the borough from its watchlist. 0ld ham dropping the borough from its watchlist. 0ldham now bringing in special local measures. we will have more on that later this afternoon. the headlines on bbc news: the prime minister warns the public to remain vigilant, amidst fears of coronavirus is resurfacing in europe biking on prescription — the government rolls out a £50 cycle repair scheme in england to help people get more active. china says it has suspended hong kong's extradition treaties with the uk, australia and canada as tensions between the countries escalate. exhausted healthcare workers in the united states are bracing for more coronavirus cases and long days at work as the nation struggles to control the pandemic.

the bbc has met one doctor who has been treating patients for four months and has adapted a new treatment protocol to save as many as 95% of them. 0ur correspondent larry madowo has been inside the coronavirus unit at the united memorial medical center in houston, texas to meet the self—styled covid hunter, his staff and patients. please, come in. welcome to the covid unit. drjoseph varon is chief of critical care here. most of the hospital has been taken over by coronavirus patients. this old ward was converted into covid—only icu, but within a week, they ran out of space and expanded. they now have three covid units. ummc is a small community hospital. 80% of the patients they see don't even have health insurance and the doctors say it is all about timing. if they came any later, many of them would not make it. we have found from the new york experience, from the spain

experience, the italy experience, that when you put a tube in somebody‘s throat, the chances of them leaving the hospital are less than 20%. the chance of my patients leaving hospital are 95%. dr varon is conducting a procedure called a tracheostomy. they are boring a hole in this man's neck to insert a tube into his windpipe to save his vocal cords. he has been here for two weeks and if they don't do this, he may never speak again, even if he recovers. i have never seen an illness that is so tricky. everyday i get surprised with corona. everyday there is a new thing, something new comes out. the days are long and lonely for the patients here, with no family or visits allowed. patients can only identify who is attending to them by the pictures hanging on their necks. we are going to go and see christina. this is one of your nurses? she is one of my nurses. nurse christina mathers was at work here when she, too, tested positive for covid—19. this is my other family.

so, to not be out there with my family is weird. to be on this side, it's like, i'm still asking them what i can do. he is saturating... 88% when i walked in. the ummc medical team takes a break to review the progress of their patients — who is responding to treatment, who is cooperating, who is anxious. the youngest patient is just 18. the oldest in her 805. his lungs look amazing, amazing. this is a guy that was not supposed to be around. 60% of the patients at the hospital are latino, and the impact on hispanics across texas is even greater. this man, a professional chauffeur, is almost heading home, but he does not plan to return to work anytime soon. he tells me coronavirus is real and people who don't take care of themselves will die.

the medical team describes this as a good week. patients are improving here, but more than 1000 people die of coronavirus every day this and cases arising in at least 30 states. the uk government is dragging its feet over racism and isn't making it a priority issue. that's according to the head of the equality and human rights commission. in an exclusive bbc interview, david isaac urges ministers to come up with a coherent strategy to combat racism and asks businesses to play their part by setting targets to recruit more people of colour into senior positions. afterfour years in post, mr isaac is due to stand down next week. the government will choose his replacement. 0ur reporter sima kotecha has been speaking to him. there are unequal outcomes, and black people, black british people in particular, are actually rightly concerned that their role, their contribution, and their ability to succeed is very constrained.

how do you feel the government has handled the fallout, post—george floyd? i do believe that they are dragging theirfeet. it's complex, they've got other issues to consider, but actually right now this is a tipping point for these issues in our country, and i urge them to act as quickly as we possibly can to address these concerns. we need a coherent race strategy and a real need for leadership by government, and i implore them to act now, because the country is ready for this. businesses, public sector bodies, and i think the society as a whole has been shocked, notjust by what's happened in the us, but also by what we've seen during covid, which is real inequality of outcomes. the time for action is now.

you mentioned business there. i heard that lloyds bank recently has promised to hire more black people and put them into senior roles. are you urging other businesses to follow suit? setting targets and actually putting in place programmes to support black and minority ethnic staff to ensure that they flourish in the same way that other people flourish is something that the commission has been calling forfor some considerable time. and now, as i've said before, is a moment when businesses must play their part second act. it's all very well for you to sit there and make these calls, urge the government to do x, y and z, say businesses should do this, but as you are leaving your role imminently what would you say you have done to improve equality in britain today? we virtually doubled the use of our enforcement powers, we've undertaken lots of inquiries in relation to things like racial harassment. you know, i believe that i leave

the organisation a more confident organisation, and, you know, ready to proceed to face the ongoing issues that we've just been talking about. david isaac, the head of the equality and human rights commission. a uk government spokesperson has said: "the government is committed to tackling racism as part of our mission to unite and level—up the country. this new, independent commission is broader in scope in comparison to previous reviews, and builds on the work of the race disparity audit. we ask that those with strong views engage with the commission." let's hear more now about six—year—old faith and her mother who started the first ever uk magazine for black girls aged seven to 1a. they published cocoa girl after realising during lockdown there was a lack of diversity in publications for younger girls. carina white is founder of dope black mums podcast, her ten—year—old daughter, zoriah, told my colleague joanna gosling that it's the first

time she's felt represented in this way. i feel happy because in other magazines you don't really see black girls in it, so it made me really happy to have a magazine that have black girls in it. how did it make you feel? i heard that faith feels better about yourself because of this. did it make you feel differently about yourself, at all? yes. in what way? it made me, like, it made me feel like the world has noticed that's a lot different to before, how we weren't really noticed. lot different to before, how we we ren't really noticed.” lot different to before, how we weren't really noticed. i am so sad to hear that that is how you felt until now. carina, it is shocking, really, that it has taken so long for something to come along like this? for years we have been asking

for more representation and diversity in the media, and it has taken something like the death of george floyd to wake up and take notice, but as long as it is happening, that is the main thing and it is absolutely amazing to see this representation and what they have brought out is absolutely amazing when you were growing up, what did you think about the magazines that were out there for you? for us it was the norm that you wouldn't see yourself represented in those magazines and you felt that wasjust the way those magazines and you felt that was just the way it was. if you wanted to look at new hairstyles or get inspiration on how to do new cane grows and your hair or what to do with your afro, you didn't have that in the magazines we had, but now we have opened up cocoa girl magazine and they had a page

dedicated to black girls's care, and it felt representative of us and i really wish that there was something like that when we were growing up. now, the weather with stav danaos. yesterday's area of low pressure brought a lot of cloud and rain across the uk, it was pretty warm and humid, but today is afresh a day, a brighter day and there are plenty of sunny spells out there. there are a few showers about, too. low pressure is not that far away and it will be producing blustery conditions, too, particularly in the north of the uk, close to that area of low pressure you will see strong winds, almost skill force, in the north. when shall be lighter on the site. for the rest of the day it will stay dry for many, some showers in the north and west, particularly across northern scotland. pretty wet

and windy there. in the northern isles, gusts in excess of 50 miles an hour. further south, isles, gusts in excess of 50 miles an hour. furthersouth, lighter winds, but still fairly breezy and it will feel much cooler and fresher than yesterday. into this evening, many places will stay dry. showers will continue across the north and west of scotland, may be the odd one further south, but most places on the site will be dry. it will be at calder knight, between eight and 10 degrees for many, lower than that in sheltered spots. for wednesday, high—pressure building and across the site. this low pressure will move into western areas, increase and cloud for northern ireland and we could see some spots for western britain, too. the north—east of scotla nd britain, too. the north—east of scotland remains breezy and cool, but warming up on the site, may be 24 but warming up on the site, may be 2a in the south—east. thursday, high—pressure dominate across the east of the uk. low pressure sweeps up east of the uk. low pressure sweeps up the western side, bringing

outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, northern england and into scotland. that in the south and east means a scotland. that in the south and east meansa dry scotland. that in the south and east means a dry and sunny day for england and wales, and increasingly warm and humid, too. the reaching the upper 20s here. still quite chilly for northern scotland. by friday we really tap into the hot air across france that drives its way northwards. for friday, a short lived peak of the heat, perhaps low 30s in the south, but into the weekend the low pressure starts to bring cooler and fresher air in for monday.

this is bbc news. i'm simon mccoy. the headlines... the prime minister defends the decision to quarantine holiday—makers returning from spain, saying the situation called for a swift response. let's be absolutely clear about what's happening in europe, amongst some of our european friends. i'm afraid you are starting to see, in some places, the signs of a second wave of the pandemic. the spanish prime minister calls britain's response "unjust" and "disproportionate". translation: take the case of the canary islands, the balearic islands, the regions of valencia and andalusia, which i insist have a cumulative incidence of the virus inferior to that registered right now in the united kingdom. tougher restrictions are introduced in oldham following an increase in the number of cases of the virus.
