the reason we did it was to feel more comfortable and be a role model for young gymnasts who don't feel very safe in every situation when they compete especially limited to scripts and jumps and sometimes the leotards are not covering everything so some girls click this point, yes this beautiful sport. so that's why it's a great option for everyone to stay in the sport they love and don't think about anything else about their body and just about their performance. on the eve of the 2018 winter olympics in pyeongchang, gb snowboarder katie ormerod was ruled out of the gameswith what could have been

a career ending injury. but she's fought her way back to the top of her sport, and has qualified for next years beijing olympics. she has told jess softley that she has what it takes to win gold. just three years ago she was preparing for the winter olympics and was bringing's best metal hope but a fall in practice for her break her heel pretty badly and was flown home before she had a chance to compete. now with ten months to go until the games in beijing, katie says she can't wait for the chance to prove herself on the biggest stage. i to prove herself on the biggest staue. , . ., �* , stage. i 'ust meant that british criteria stage. ijust meant that british criteria to _ stage. ijust meant that british criteria to compete _ stage. ijust meant that british criteria to compete in - stage. ijust meant that british criteria to compete in beijing l stage. ijust meant that british| criteria to compete in beijing so stage. ijust meant that british i criteria to compete in beijing so i am super excited that i can focus on training now and i'm just going to take that confidence over the next olympics and i know i've got to do well and the season has gone well as well and the season has gone well as well and the season has gone well as well and we learned the tricks as well and we learned the tricks as well so i'm super excited to go into next season and go into the olympics and i have been really happy with that. �* ~ ._

new exciting things and some of the competitions that create a and put a feature into the beginning of it. i think this point is going to go that way in that direction as well and keep challenging the creative side before it gets to a limit and i don't really know what that limit would be and i think you have to keep pushing it in all directions. whatever direction snowboarding goal you can be sure katie will be at the front. a few changes for manchester city. no recognised stryker. and will be the heart of the fence and they are both fixed and start from pst. you can follow that from eight

o'clock take off their on the bbc sport website. for now it is from us. that evening. you are watching bbc news. we have some news from the bbc press briefing. let's have a quick recap on some of the key points that came out of that briefing. the health secretary said he'll be in regular contact with his indian counterparts of a recent base. in my medical supplies will be arriving in india donated from northern ireland. they will be an extra 60 million doses of fis a vaccine that had been secured by the government to help

support a boost vaccination programme and beginning in the autumn and a vaccination roll—out the health secretary revealed the uptake of the first dose of the over 50s is phenomenally high and over 95% and also saw seven in ten adults have protective antibodies. the latest data found people who had been given one dose at vaccine were up been given one dose at vaccine were up to 50% less likely to pass on the disease to someone in their house. the professor added that puk is probably at or close to the in terms of the level of the disease. that is going to the shadow spokesperson for the xmp. welcome to the programme. some positive data some very good numbers in that press conference. reasons to be upbeats? {iii numbers in that press conference. reasons to be upbeats? of course, the vaccine — reasons to be upbeats? of course, the vaccine roll-out _ reasons to be upbeats? of course, the vaccine roll-out is _ reasons to be upbeats? of course, the vaccine roll-out is going - reasons to be upbeats? of course, the vaccine roll-out is going well. | the vaccine roll—out is going well. it's been a fantastic road out here in scotland. it's done remarkably well thanks for the nhs staff and

the gps and all others and involved in that roll—out. that is the critical thing. we can get even more people down but you'll be struggling to find anybody in scotland over the age of 55 who has not happened vaccine and here we have been concentrated on the care homes and care home staff and giving them the second doses and making sure we keep the infection rates down and as much as possible so yes that is all good news. of course i and particularly the payment techniques that answer and a lot of these red dots at the press conference this afternoon. he did not seem keen to answer any questions on the prime minister although earlier today we have one of the angriest exchanges and seeming sometime at primitive questions. do you think we learned anything new there? i think what we

saw was the prime minister, boris johnson, dodging the question and he could not answer it straight. the fact is what _ could not answer it straight. the fact is what we _ could not answer it straight. tue: fact is what we should could not answer it straight. tte: fact is what we should have could not answer it straight. t"t2 fact is what we should have as could not answer it straight. tt2 fact is what we should have as a foreign nation inquiry by the covid—i9 pandemic i think it's absolutely shocking that it's appointed that it's been corroborated by others that the prime minister said the bodies piled high by the thousands avoid. he categorically denies back. of course he also said that they have so what we need is a formation inquiry into the handling of the covid—i9 pandemic so we can see how everybody handle base on what decisions were taken. t handle base on what decisions were taken. ~' ., ., taken. i think the other thing that hancock was _ taken. i think the other thing that hancock was very _ taken. i think the other thing that hancock was very careful - taken. i think the other thing that hancock was very careful to - taken. i think the other thing that hancock was very careful to avoid | taken. i think the other thing that i hancock was very careful to avoid as

you pointed out was the flurry affecting the tory government and cash and tax breaks and contracts for cronies being the order of the day and that is something else that is pretty vital when you look at those contracts during the covid—i9 pandemic a rate giving out the usual procurement process and it's important we know what's happened in that case. we important we know what's happened in that case. ~ ., ., ., that case. we will have to leave it there. that case. we will have to leave it there- thank _ that case. we will have to leave it there. thank you _ that case. we will have to leave it there. thank you for _ that case. we will have to leave it there. thank you for that. - that case. we will have to leave it there. thank you for that. it - that case. we will have to leave it there. thank you for that. it does| there. thank you for that. it does speak to her shadow environment secretary who has been patiently waiting by using pennetta for us. thank you for being with us and as i was saying lots of positive things in this press conference this afternoon. i suppose the question for you as we head to the polls next week is my that the british public is focusing on the successful roll—out of the vaccine programme or whether they are focusing on what you want them to focus on which is

faced surrounding the prime minister. tt faced surrounding the prime minister. . , .. ,, minister. if we get a successful roll-out it _ minister. if we get a successful roll-out it gets _ minister. if we get a successful roll-out it gets everyone - minister. if we get a successful- roll-out it gets everyone vaccinated roll—out it gets everyone vaccinated and we will save lives. i think that is cross party support for the work of the nhs doing here and it really is important that people go forward and get a vaccine when called forward to do so. but it does not mean that other predicates and other issues have stopped and as he had seen we have got a government at the moment and i think it matters about what is that government's behaviour and what is the ethics of those people at the very top of our country's democracy and that is why i think we do need to get to the heart of what's been happening with downing street and what's been happening with ppe contracts been given to tori and what's been happening to the plethora of allegations he had seen emerge only in the last few weeks or so or more to come. tt in the last few weeks or so or more to come. ., , ., to come. if the top of the opposition _ to come. if the top of the opposition to _ to come. if the top of the opposition to keep - to come. if the top of the j opposition to keep asking to come. if the top of the - opposition to keep asking these questions but the prime minister was

for my game today that no rules were broken. we have an electoral commission inquiry and we also have an inquiry from the new independent adviser at the cross bank spear. are you satisfied that they will get to the bottom of things? you you satisfied that they will get to the bottom of things?— the bottom of things? you not satisfied at _ the bottom of things? you not satisfied at the _ the bottom of things? you not satisfied at the prime - the bottom of things? you not satisfied at the prime ministerj the bottom of things? you not l satisfied at the prime minister is being entirely straight to the country at the moment. he was given an option by cara stormer at prominence ministers questions today about who paid initially for the pre—franklin the press was not looking at it and when it was not in the media, who paid for it? was it the media, who paid for it? was it the conservative party? was it a taxpayer? what it a tour of the donor and if it was likely to get in return or was it the prime minister? a very simple question. the i'm in they could have put that issue today if he had been clear about it. but he is maintaining this argument that he is maintaining this argument that he paid for it eventually. so therefore we should not look at anything that has happened before. electoral commission investigating this on the suspicion that an offence may have been convicted is

really serious. this is really serious and that is why we need a proper for investigation. there are now so many investigations into tory is very hard keeping track of them. the large number and parliamentary senate committees, the prime minister adviser looking in one and the cabinet secretary. we need the truth. , , , , truth. the issue here is my the prime minister _ truth. the issue here is my the prime minister was _ truth. the issue here is my the prime minister was at - truth. the issue here is my the prime minister was at any - truth. the issue here is my the | prime minister was at any point beholding to somebody. but that he was beholding to a tory donor. could you explain to people all prime ministers are in some way beholding to their donors. they are the lifeblood of a political party. it would be stupid to think that was not the case. so why does it matter if it was a conservative party donor? ., , a if it was a conservative party donor? . _ ., , ., , donor? transparency matters. that is m we donor? transparency matters. that is my we have — donor? transparency matters. that is my we have these _ donor? transparency matters. that is my we have these rules _ donor? transparency matters. that is my we have these rules that - donor? transparency matters. that is my we have these rules that say - donor? transparency matters. that is my we have these rules that say if. my we have these rules that say if you donate to a political party, you need to declare that the mission within a certain period of time. it needs to be published in a timely manner. people can look at what

money is being donated to politics and then take if you estimated that donation has produced favours. e—mail the pandemic that if you had the prime minister or chancellor or health secretary in your whatsapp it was easier for you to get in the pip name for ppe contracts and if you did not. we also know that there is a real concern about how close some of the prime minister's contacts have been. his text messages to senior business leaders including dyson when he was asked to change tax laws. i am concerned that the transparency and accountability of the government is not a priority for them and frankly when we have got 130,000 people dead and then we have got hospital waiting lists at its highest point in history, and people worried about theirjobs and i we need the government focused on those priorities, not trying to drag themselves out of the latest scandal. the best way of getting through this is just to be

scandal. the best way of getting through this isjust to be honest with people. saying what happened, clear about it, and if you made a mistake be honest apologise and come clean and then fix the rules to stop this type of thing ever happening again. that means if we have got a red government in the future, a blue government, it does not matter. you should have clear, transparent, robust rules and if you don't have as committee, and that's why we had as committee, and that's why we had a government using public money but our taxes have paid for intentionally rewarding totally —— tory donors. this is not right. that's why this matters. that is why the truth check matter and that's why we need a full inquiry. taste the truth check matter and that's why we need a full inquiry. we will have more — why we need a full inquiry. we will have more on _ why we need a full inquiry. we will have more on those _ why we need a full inquiry. we will have more on those stories - why we need a full inquiry. we will have more on those stories this i have more on those stories this evening here on bbc news. as the weather. i suspect gardeners and farmers will find the rain today across southern areas at least pretty useful as it's been so dry. tonight we will see the main

prepared to leave class belts and it will be a few showers. this area of low pressure is retreating towards the continent it will allow skies to care for many. they will be more rain affecting parts of northern ireland. across much of scotland and northeast england. they will be a renter for a northeast england. they will be a renterfor a indicates northeast england. they will be a renter for a indicates that there will be called coming from the north. it would be a cold night. we will have a chance of clear skies. that is only from the southeast lady the clouds. that early rain and clouds look here —— clearly from the southeast that the morning. it is a cold start with some sunshine. what showers will develop widespread across the country. it could turn out to be happy with some ham and thunder in the afternoon. temperatures on the cool side for this time of year ranging from eight to 12 or 13 across the south.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. more than 200,000 indians are now confirmed dead from covid—i9, but the real total is feared to be much higher. it was the worst, worst night of my life, that i was not able to save her. no money, no contact, nothing helped me out. the crisis is being felt all over — health systems are at the point of collapse, crematoria are overrun and some vaccine centres have run out of doses. and there's mounting pressure on the government. as we speak, the government is really suppressing the data rather than sailing through this crisis, managing the news rather than managing the pandemic.
