as england manager. if england had a disastrous run of form, could you sack him? gareth would go, yeah. wow. they laugh. but this wasn't all lads larking about around the table. for years now, prince william has been talking about mental health and using sport as a way to get through to men who might not normally think about it. i don't know what it is, but you do notice that guys find it a bit more difficult to relax. we talk about physical fitness, we all want to go to the gym, stay fit, we never really talk about mental fitness and it's kind of the same thing. we all have mental health. we all need to stay mentally fit, and no more so than professional athletes, who, under special circumstances, when you're playing for england, under huge pressure, you've got to have your head razor—sharp as well as your feet, your legs, all that. this is prince william's goal, to make mental health something you can talk about at the match or over a curry. from sunday players to professionals, the prince

wants everybody in — and southgate looks safe for the moment. jonny dymond, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. hello. some hot weather to come in the next few days. today probably feels warmer than yesterday because the north—westerly wind is not as strong. many places will stay dry for the rest of the day. looming large on the satellite picture of this area of cloud coming in from the atlantic. these weather fronts are taking rain from southern ireland into northern ireland later today and may be a few spots of rain in the west of wales. many places will be driver some sunshine this afternoon. —— be dry with some sunshine. 22 in the south of england and the best of the sunshine along the south coast. the rain does

settling later today. maybe rain into wales with the odd spot coming into wales with the odd spot coming into midlands overnight, perhaps into midlands overnight, perhaps into the north of england and the south west of scotland. temperatures will be ten to 12 degrees. any sunshine in scotland tomorrow morning. wet weather arriving tomorrow across northern ireland. heavier rain for a time. that will head its way northwards into scotland. as the breeze picks up, more and more sunshine coming in across england and wales, boosting the temperatures up to 27, 28 in the midlands and the south—east of england on thursday. only yesterday did we have the cold north—westerly wind. we are tapping into the heat from continental europe and the peak of the heat will be on friday. it will not be hot everywhere because we have this weather front coming in to some western areas of the uk. in

northern ireland in particular we will see cloud and rain continuing to drive its way eastwards. in the fresh breeze there will be lots of strong sunshine that maybe one or two showers as well. temperatures will continue to climb. 29, 30 in england and wales, 2a in the london area. there may be one or two showers around, meaning northwards during the evening across the eastern side of england. that weather front will bring rain further west as well. short lived heat. this weekend will look and feel rather different. the significant change is the drop in temperatures. there will be sunshine and may one or two showers as well. temperatures will continue to drop away. a reminder of our top story... a call for coronavirus tests at uk airports, to reduce the time travellers have to spend in quarantine — but the government says it isn't a silver bullet. that's all from the bbc news at one,

so it's goodbye from me, good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. exeter chiefs are discussing a potential rebrand that would see the premiership leaders removing their native american badge and mascot known as "big chief". a decision will be made by board members this afternoon. our sports news correspondent laura scott's following the story. this was raised back in 2016 as a potential issue, but it has gathered pace in the last few weeks and there have been at rival petitions launched. one has more than 3000 signatures saying that they think that the imagery of the big chief mascot and the club logo which has the big chief on it of the tomahawk are harmful and they say there are

accusations of racism and they would like there to be a rebrand. there is another petition with more than 5000 signatures at which it says they should be no change and that the fa ns should be no change and that the fans are respectful of indigenous groups at. it is a very emotive subject and we are expecting a decision to be made at some point this afternoon at. whether or not thatis this afternoon at. whether or not that is communicated today or tomorrow, we do not know, but we understand they are encompassing the opinions of fans, players and sponsors, because opinions of fans, players and sponsors, because clearly, there could be a commercialfallout in it as well and i have spoken to one sponsor of the club who said they welcome this debate, but yes, it is very much a controversial subject and of course, impacted by what has happened in america where washington's nfl site has temporarily renamed them self washington football team from the washington football team from the washington redskins and dropped their redskins branding, so focus on their redskins branding, so focus on the club today who are top of the

table over this name they took on in 1999. judd trump will begin the defence of his world snooker title against fellow englishman tom ford this weekend. the tournament starts on friday and five—time winner ronnie o'sullivan‘s been drawn against thailand's thepchaiya un—nooh in the first round. o'sullivan‘s been critical of the decision to allow fans in to watch at the crucible theatre. a reduced crowd will be allowed into every session and it's the only indoor sport to allow fans in since the start of the pandemic. the fa's confirmed the community shield will be played on saturday august 28th. the traditional curtain raiser for the new premier league season will be between liverpool and either arsenal or chelsea, who meet in this weekend's fa cup final. the match could allow a restricted number of supporters into wembley. paul cook is set to resign as wigan athletic manager following their relegation to the league one. he has led the latics to 10 wins from their last 18 games, which would have ensured their safety. however, the club went into administration,

leading to a 12—point deduction, putting them in the championship‘s bottom three. cook has been linked to the vacancy at championship side bristol city. and there's live tennis going on right now. this is cameron norrie taking on dan evans at the national tennis centre in roehampton. this is a team event, so the scoring is a bit different. at the minute it is 4—1 to cameron norrie. earlier today heather watson beat eden silva. jamie murray is amongst those in action later on. you can watch it live via the bbc sport website and app, and on the bbc iplayer. that's all the sport for now. more from the bbc sport centre throughout the day. thanks very much. a very good afternoon to you, you are watching bbc news. will take you through all the afternoon's development of

coronavirus and other news. the world health organization has warned that young people could be driving spikes in coronavirus cases. the latest data from the european centre for disease prevention and control show there are clusters across europe. on this map, you can see the palest yellow regions, which cover most of the continent, where there are fewer than 20 case per 100,000 people confirmed with tests. the darker areas, which you can see in north—eastern spain, bulgaria, romania and sweden are where there are between 60 and 120 cases per 100,000. these figures cover the 1a days to 22nd july. my colleaguejoanna gosling has been discussing the who's data with their spokeswoman doctor margaret harris. well, as we've always said, the virus has continued to transmit, so it is not about one or two waves, it's about stopping a resurgence.

you can understand, people came out of lockdown, the weather became lovely. unfortunately, in many people's minds, it was something that was passed. it was never passed. it was always there. the trouble is learning to navigate this new world we are in. it is not back to normal. it's back to finding the new normal, ways to live with this virus to prevent it from rising, the transmission from rising. how do we do that? because, as you say, for a lot it does feel like life is kind of back to normal and it is quite hard then to get your head around going back to tighter restrictions that we all just went into at the beginning without question, because it was an unprecedented situation. that's quite right and those measures were taken because at that stage, you had transmission everywhere, throughout the community, so this

was like a massive form of social distancing that was done to bring that transmission down, so now is the moment not to waste all of that effort and indeed, my director—general outlined very clearly what can be done. first thing is to know your epidemiology. so when he said test, test, test, way back, many, many months ago now, he wasn'tjust saying it because it sounded good. first of all, it tells you where your virus is. then, trace. again, it's notjust a word. know who has potentially had transmission, who is potentially infected. and ensure that they understand that they need to isolate and genuinely isolate. now, they may never get ill, they may never feel ill, but what they are doing is a service to their community to prevent transmission to the people who will get very ill. and of course, the standard things that we have been saying over and over, the hand washing, the genuine social distancing, spend your time outdoors,

try not to spend your time indoors. if you're going to socialise, still socialise without being physically together. this virus loves the fact that we love being with each other. how would you rate where the uk government is now on the test and trace? i haven't got any of the detail in front of me to make any kind ofjudgment but i do know that the work is increasing and i do know that all countries have really upped their game in this sphere. likewise, there has been a lot of fantastic work in clinical care. so, we are certainly seeing improvements across all fronts. so, we can take comfort from that then? it is a very different picture from when we first were dealing with this complete unknown and the uk government approaches changing in at

the way the quarantine is being handled right now, the quarantine being brought in very quickly when it became clear that the cases in spain were going up in the way that they were. what do you think about they were. what do you think about the calls to somehow moderate that quarantine and about the prospect of testing as well to balance it out? what we certainly say with travel and trade is we do not say blank don't do it, what we say is do it with care. do it understanding where the virus is and whether it is coming in, whether it is going out and it sounds like the virus itself, but it is coming in our bodies. how do you find out? have your means of testing and tracking, have your means and really partner with your community. get people to understand that when they say who they are, where they have been, what they have done, when they agree to, if feel it is necessary to isolate people, what

they are doing is not suffering and inconvenience, again they are serving their community. is it too soon for there to be international travel in the way that there is when this has not gone away? we certainly have a huge outbreak and when we talk about international travel, we need to think about travel that needs to be done, so again, if you are considering travelling, think very ha rd are considering travelling, think very hard about why you are travelling, find out everything you can find out about where you are travelling, what is the situation, what is the epidemiology, what are the local rules and weigh it up. be your own great risk manager and understand whether the decisions that you are taking at the moment are the best decisions, notjust for you, but for your community. when you, but for your community. when you say what travel needs to be done, people do not have to go abroad for the holidays, do they? do you think it is advisable right now? we all need a holiday at. we do, thatis we all need a holiday at. we do, that is true. we all need a real

recharge, but again think about what the holiday will give you. if it will mean you are in queues, filling out forms, have the kids yelling and screaming because you have to wait and getting another queue for another thing and when we do into her —— enter and exit screening, it is something that takes a lot of time to do properly, so again think ha rd time to do properly, so again think hard about what you want from your holiday and get the holiday that is best for you but also safest for you. how do you feel, looking ahead to the winter? because obviously mines are now turning again to the prospect of crikey, it feels like we have perhaps been fors through the lull before the storm again at. is that how you are feeling? certainly in the winter you get a rise in a whole bunch of illnesses because you have more difficult conditions are physiologically. some people get all sorts of things, all sorts of other problems, so that always puts much more burden on the health system. is a young doctor, it always dreaded

the winter emergency room saturday afternoon, so indeed, we want to get transmission down before the winter so that we can focus on all the other things as well that we need to be focusing on to keep people healthy. well, we will talk a lot more about that over the course of the afternoon. and at just after 2.30 this afternoon we'll answer any questions you have on quarantine and travel restrictions. we will get a lot of questions when we discussed travel. i'll be joined by rory boland, travel editor at which and linda bauld, professor of public health at the university of edinburgh. the headlines on bbc news... a call for coronavirus tests at uk airports to reduce the time travellers have to spend in quarantine, but the government says it isn't a silver bullet. millions of pounds are pledged

to researchers, to investigate why people from ethnic minority backgrounds are at greater risk from covid—19. "reckless" — how mps describe the decision to allow hospital patients in england to be discharged to care homes without coronavirus tests at the start of the pandemic. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has warned of a possible new coronavirus cluster in the greater glasgow and clyde area. speaking at a briefing earlier, she said that 22 confirmed cases have been reported in scotland since yesterday and 1a of those are thought to be connected. i can report that an additional 22 positive cases were confirmed yesterday. that represents 0.7% of those who were newly tested yesterday and it takes the total number of cases in scotland now to 18,580.

now, the health board breakdown of these cases will be available later, but my provisional information is that 1a of the 22 are in the greater glasgow and clyde health board area and i have also been advised that a possible cluster of cases is currently under investigation by greater glasgow and clyde. an incident management team meeting will take place later this afternoon, which i hope will give more detail and an update will be provided after that, but i want to give an assurance today, as i always do, that all new positive cases are thoroughly investigated for any links and test and protect of course gets to work to make sure all contacts are appropriately traced. meanwhile, the first minister has advised against non—essential foreign travel, amid increasing concerns about coronavirus outbreaks in parts of europe. nicola sturgeon is urging people wanting to take a holiday, to support the economy by staying in scotland. lorna gordon has more.

making the most of the summer weather out on the water at st abbs. tourism businesses lost half of the holiday season because of lockdown. but here, at least, the visitors have been returning. business has been absolutely fantastic since the end of lockdown. all our trips are busy, and getting booked up relatively quick. the village has been incredibly busy with tourists. lots of people going up to the headlands for big walks, using the local cafes, heading to beach. but, from the countryside to the cities, some places are not faring so well. in edinburgh, a lone piper now providing the soundtrack in a city centre street which, when the festivals are under way, would normally be packed with tourists and performers. very quiet. obviously just now you would be expecting the fringe to be kicking in. if you just look at the street for yourself, right now you would hardly be able to walk up the street. in normal times, you would be

walking like this, you know. but it is what it is. you can't complain. from the piper to the pie maker around the corner, the summer, and during the festivals in particular, is when lots of businesses around here make much of their money. but not this year. well, we normally have about, in august, 1,000 customers a day, average. we're down to about 50 customers a day. 1000 down to 50. that's not good, is it? her sentiment shared by others who rely on the conferences, gatherings and events which would usually be taking place in scotland's cities. yes, i think a very mixed picture, to be honest. the cities have had the biggest hit, without a doubt. hotels that would normally be full, or 90%—plus occupied, experiencing levels of around 20%, which is a huge difference. whereas some parts of the rural economy, particularly

in the self—catering sector, seem to be doing pretty well. as more city—based attractions reopen, it is hoped more visitors will be tempted back. and this is... the mirror maze. and some attractions are finding a way through, albeit with reduced numbers and covid safety restrictions in place. it was a huge relief to open after such a long time shut. we had our busiest year ever last year, with 400,000 visitors. and suddenly to have nobody, it was very, very strange. do you feel confident about the future? we're all living in a different world, with different conditions, and we have to adapt to that. we have adapted here. our visitors are adapting too. so yes, i am quietly confident that we will be all right. some businesses have shut, though, and the hundreds of thousands of people in scotland who rely on tourism for theirjobs are focusing on a recovery they're hoping might be just over the horizon. lorna gordon, bbc news, edinburgh.

alzheimers could be detected at its earliest stage through a blood test, according to studies conducted in the us and sweden. the test looks for small amounts of a protein elevated in people living with the illness. investigators found it could detect the disease up to 20 years before symptoms appear, with an accuracy rate of 96%. in the united states, the democratic party presidential contenderjoe biden has pledged tens of billions of dollars to help people of colour overcome what he called "the racial wealth gap", if he wins the election in november. he also accused president trump of stoking the flames of racism in the country and being unable to keep the coronavirus pandemic under control. donald trump faces a real test and he's failed it. a basic threshold for being president. the duty to care for the entire country, not just his real action prospects.

——re—election prospects. he has shown that he can't beat the pandemic and keep you safe. he can't turn the economy around and get america back to work. and he is, horrifyingly and not surprisingly, intentionally stoking the flames of division and racism in this country. and joe biden also said he'll announce his choice of running mate in the next few days. he's promised that he will choose a woman, but who it might be is still far from clear although some clues did emerge at a recent press conference. here's laura podesta of cbs news, in new york. a very prominent clue spotted by an eagle—eyed photographer, it was senator kamala harris‘s name in the handwritten notes that biden was holding, fuelling fresh speculation about the california democrat‘s standing as his vice presidential running mate.

so this was the big headline to come out of yesterday's speech in delaware. it's that biden says he will be choosing his vice presidential running mate as early as next week. there has been plenty of speculation about who that person could be. we know she is going to be a woman, he said that he promises it's going to be a woman. but other than that, there has been a whole list of people that would be great candidates, including former us ambassador to the united nations susan rice, atlanta's mayor keisha lance bottoms, and there was also some speculation that former democratic candidate for president elizabeth warren might be a good number two for him. so democrats nationwide itching to find out who this number two pick is going to be. if it will help boost biden‘s standing in the ratings, and when exactly we should hear is also a question mark. we know it is the first week of august, but the day, we do not know yet.

as with many countries emerging from lockdown, italy is trying to get life back to normal and in particular, to revive its tourism industry. and one italian town is going the extra mile to attract holiday—makers, as tim allman explains. even the parts of italy you have never heard of are beautiful. this is the village of san giovanni, in galdo, only a couple of hours from rome — pretty, picturesque and completely free of charge. visitors can come here and not pay a penny for their accommodation. translation: in reality, we did not expect the success. we have received requests from brazil, bogota, france and germany. everybody phoned us! your bed costs you nothing. your board is a different matter.

the idea is local businesses will make money from these extra visitors, spending plenty of euros and who knows? maybe next year they will come back. translation: it works for everyone, for bars and restaurants. other towns should participate. it would bring in more people and there would be work for more people. a0 families are being offered week—long stays and the chance to discover one of italy's less familiar areas. it is very beautiful. the region offers many different things — lush nature, archaeological sites, churches and museums. the scheme runs until the beginning of october. they say there is no such thing as a free lunch. a free holiday is a different matter. tim allman, bbc news. the nominations have been announced for the main tv awards in the us, the emmys.

this year's nominees were announced in a live streamed event in los angeles. olivia colman has been nominated for her role as the queen in the crown. channel 4 thriller the watchman leads the way with 26 nominations. it's been confirmed that two british women have broken the record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe, on a tandem bicycle. cat dixon, who's 5a, and 55—year—old raz marsden completed their trip in 263 days, eight hours and seven minutes. they finished in march shortly before the coronavirus lockdown. fantastic, well done them. now the weather with darren bett. it isa

it is a little bit warm for us today. the wind is not quite as strong and for many areas it is still dry out there, although we have seen a cloud tending to increase a bit. this is the cloud looming in from the atlantic and that will bring some outbreaks of rain on the set of weather fronts here, seeing some rain moving into northern ireland at later in the day and maybe a few spots of rain heading over the irish sea into west wales by early evening. these are the temperatures by that point and most the temperatures by that point and m ost pla ces the temperatures by that point and most places are still dry, some sunshine at times. move things on a bit into the evening and that rain set in across northern ireland. overnight we will see some rain pushing further into wales, may be the odd spot of rain in the midlands, northern england and eventually into the south west of scotland. clear skies, it eventually into the south west of scotland. clearskies, it is eventually into the south west of scotland. clear skies, it is going to be quite warm, but we clear skies in another solid ahead of the rain, those temperatures could be easily into single figures. there could be some sunshine for a while, but this rain is heading in and could be

heavier over northern ireland and as it pushes into scotland and we will see the breeze picking up around the irish sea coast. sunshine for england and wales and 27 or even 28 on thursday. yesterday we had that cool north westerly airflow but the weather is changing and we will pick up weather is changing and we will pick up the heat from continental europe on eight south to south easterly breeze and the peak is likely to be on friday, ahead of these weather fronts which bring the potential for some chariot best of rain. it is not going to be hot everywhere on friday. —— showery bursts of rain. later in the day, maybe some patchy rain heading into the west of fringes of scotland and over the irish sea. sunshine, bit of a breeze elsewhere, the potentialfor one or two showers beginning to break out, but temperatures are probably getting widely into the mid to high 20s, getting widely into the mid to high 205, 30 getting widely into the mid to high 20s, 30 across east wales, midlands, parts of north england and 3a in the south—east of england. it is going to bea south—east of england. it is going to be a brief heat though because

the weather is going to change as we head into the weekend as those weather fronts push eastwards and we change the wind direction, so instead of that warm, south to south easterly, we get a freshening west or south westerly winds and there will be some sunshine, if you showers, more significantly, the heat is going to be ebbing away.

this is bbc news, i'mjane hill. the headlines... the boss of heathrow calls for coronavirus tests at uk airports to avoid the need for holidaymakers to self isolate for 1h days on their return. people would stay in quarantine until they had had two tests that show that they did not have the disease, and then they would be allowed out earlier than would otherwise be the case. the world health organization warns increasing infections among young people could be driving spikes in coronavirus cases across europe. millions of pounds are pledged to researchers to investigate why people from ethnic minority backgrounds are at greater risk from covid—19. reckless and appalling — mps criticise the government's
