haitian government officials say they've asked the us and the un to send troops to protect key infrastructure as the country reels from wednesday's assassination of presidentjovenel moise. meanwhile the country's senate has named the speaker of the upper chamber, joesph lambert, as interim president. the taliban in afghanistan say they've captured two major frontier points, one with iran and the other with turkmenistan. the militants are rapidly retaking land as the us—led mission withdraws the last of its troops. president ashraf ghani has conceded his security forces are in a critical transition. california residents are bracing for a weekend of record—setting temperatures as the heat continues to build on the west coast. the us national weather service has issued an excessive heat alert, saying that temperatures in some inland areas could reach 49 degrees celsius.

coronavirus infections in the uk have risen to their highest level forfive months. the office for national statistics says about one in 160 people had the virus last week, that's a 50% increase on the week before. here's our medical editor fergus walsh. have you been pinged lately? 26 million people have downloaded the nhs covid app, although it's unclear how many have it switched on. the app uses bluetooth to detect the distance between phones, and if someone tests positive, will ping those who've been in close proximity, within two metres for 15 minutes, and advise them to self—isolate. tonight a source at the app team told the bbc they'd been told to adjust its sensitivity so that it sends out fewer alerts. as our restrictions change, of course the app needs to change in line. things like the relaxing of the one metre plus rule, for example,

on the 19th ofjuly, might well lead to a review of the way the app itself needs to function. but labour says the sensitivity of the app shouldn't be weakened. this feels like taking the batteries out of the smoke detector, and that is never a good idea. that is an important protection. i'm equally worried by the stories of people deleting the app altogether. as covid cases have risen, so have the number of app alerts. 360,000 people received one in the last week ofjune. this climbing centre in surrey had to close after nearly all its staff were pinged. i don't even know what's going to happen for the future, but obviously there's an immediate impact on the basis that we're losing income, again. and it's going to hurt. the latest survey from the office for national statistics suggests that around 400,000 people in the uk had covid last week, up nearly

60% on the previous week. in england, it's estimated that one in 160 people were infected. in scotland, one in 100 had covid. in wales, it was one in 340, and in northern ireland, one in 300. new analysis of covid infection data has confirmed children are at extremely low risk from coronavirus. there were 25 deaths among 12 million under—18s in england. half of those had complex neuro disabilities. there were no deaths in children who had asthma as a single diagnosis, no deaths in children who had cystic fibrosis, no deaths in children who had trisomy 21 or down syndrome, and no deaths in children and young people who had type one diabetes. this research, suggesting a two in a million chance of dying among children, may persuade some scientists

against recommending covid jabs for i2—i7—year—olds, a decision that's due very shortly. fergus walsh, bbc news. now on bbc news the travel show. from news the travel show. one of the world's most exciting from one of the world's most exciting train rides, to hurtling downhill with outbreaks. to moose tracking in the forests of canada. this week, we revisit some of our wildest adventures. hello, and welcome to the travel show with me, carmen

roberts, coming to you this week from my local park in tokyo. we've not been travelling these past few months which has been an odd change of pace for all of us here on the programme but over the past few years we have been to hundreds of incredible places and faced many unusual and occasionally uncomfortable situations. ifaced my fear of heights situations. i faced my fear of heights jumping situations. ifaced my fear of heightsjumping off the situations. ifaced my fear of heights jumping off the sky tower in new zealand. ignored basic safety advice and danced with scissors in peru, and played real—life mario kart down some of the busiest road in tokyo. but it's notjust me, though stopping all of us travel show regulars have had some pretty wild adventures and this week we are looking back at some of our favourite. first up, and 2018 we went tojordan to mark 100 years since the culmination of the arab revolt, the legendary campaign against the legendary campaign against the ottoman empire which was

famously led, it is claimed, by lawrence of arabia. we sent rajan tojordan to experience a battle reenactment against one of the key supply lines. this is a key construction - of the key supply lines. this is a key construction of- of the key supply lines. ti 3 is a key construction of one of the original trains and it used to carry supplies to the ottoman troops and i am going 0ttoman troops and i am going to take a trip through this stunning landscape. baking hot out here! i hope it is cool inside. this is a glorious feeling, huge, vast arid desert around me, these big granite mountains on either side, just how you imagined it. oh my god!

it's horses! wow! that's a bomb! i think you will find, that's a form. 0h! bomb! i think you will find, that's a form. oh! what the hell! that is loud! so, what i'm getting is that this train is being hijacked and that a bomb has been exploded on the line and we cannot move. we have been well and truly hijacked. i tell you what, for a reenactment, it is pretty realistic. i'm actually scared,

even though i know they are blank. what the hell! 0k, even though i know they are blank. what the hell! ok, i'm going! i'm going, 0k! don't leave me here! 0k, 0k. hands up, hands up man, hands up! constant attacks on the 0ttoman�*s railway supply lines worked stopping the war ended and several new nations, syria, iraq, libya and ordered with informed. the origins of the middle east that know today can be traced to these attacks on the railway and the subsequent covering up of the region by the end french.— covering up of the region by the end french. that was ra'an there and fi

second,it and getting colder by the second, it really is beautiful and i'd never have seen anything like it in my life. we melt snow over camp stove dominic stokes to make our dinners of rehydrated chicken noodles. but then, the dramatically worsening weather was taking its toll. somewhere along the way i took a wrong turn and now i'm in the deeper snow, 0h turn and now i'm in the deeper snow, oh god. oh god, oh god. oh god, it's so deep. that was difficult. 0k. here's my house for the night. 0h, difficult. 0k. here's my house forthe night. oh, it's difficult. 0k. here's my house for the night. oh, it's so cold! the ground feels like a freezer. 0k. it is currently

2am and i have not slept at all. i think we are right in the middle of the storm and the winds are so strong. but the worst was yet to come. we woke up worst was yet to come. we woke up early to a blizzard of snow. with the wind hitting me this hard i'm shocked at how drastically this amazing place can change overjust a few hours. but then it was all hands on deck to pack down our tents. with visibility restricted to just a few metres and places it was important we stick together. our path was never too far from a shout drop down the mountain. —— a share

drop. getting down was going to be much harder than getting up. the storm had meant the whole mountain had been shut down for safe reasons and we would essentially need to be evacuated. so, snowploughs to the rescue. it's not really the morning and was hoping for because you can't really see anything because it is such a blizzard, but it is such a great experience, something you don't do every day but now it is time to go home.- don't do every day but now it is time to go home. next, we head to the — is time to go home. next, we head to the state _ is time to go home. next, we head to the state of - is time to go home. next, we head to the state of hidalgo l head to the state of hidalgo central mexico when mike enjoyed one echo park's notorious note walk where tourist can experience a brutal recreation of an illegal border crossing into the united states stopping this reconstruction has been designed by locals to try to persuade migrants not to attempt the sometimes perilous journey which claimed 300 lives last year. we

halfway down, i'm in for a shock. we're going to lose the rock now and go free fall. i can do this. yep, this is good. without the rock face, i am literally hanging. it is hard work on my hands. basically, this rope is holding my body weight. this way of coming down is faster and scarier, but a lot more exciting. we reach the last part of the descent, and i'm so relieved to finally get to the bottom. whoa! i know

it's crazy, i think there was so much what a. that was amazing. yeah! well, that's it for this weekend our look back at some of our wildest adventures here from the travel show. hopefully we will be on the road, pushing our limits again very soon. in the meantime, you can keep up on social media where we will give you some inspiration for yourfuture give you some inspiration for your future travel plans. just search bbc travel show on all the major platforms and you can find as there. from me, carmine roberts and the team around the world, goodbye.

hello there. it's looking unsettled this weekend as well, but it's not going to be raining all the time everywhere. there will be some places staying dry, but the general theme this weekend is for sunny spells and for scattered showers to develop. again, these will be heavy and thundery, and slow—moving as winds will be light. if you look at the pressure chart for saturday, we've got this weather front across the south, bringing an area of more persistent rain to southern counties. it will continue its journey eastwards through the morning through the channel islands, southern and south—eastern counties of england, then clear away in the afternoon. elsewhere, after a dry start, we'll see those showers developing a little bit further westwards this time, affecting wales, west midlands, north—west england and scotland. again, it will be heavy, slow—moving torrential downpours which could lead to localised flooding.

those temperatures range from 19—21 degrees. now, those showers will fade away during saturday evening, and then, overnight, most places will be dry, but rain will start to push into the far west later on, those temperatures in double figures. it's going to be another mild and muggy night for most of us. now, for sunday, a new area of low pressure starts to push in off the atlantic, affecting northern and western areas. it looks like some eastern parts may stay dry altogether with some hazy spells of sunshine. so, most of the heavy showers on sunday will be across more northern parts of the uk, but wales, northern ireland, the southwest of england will start to see areas of more persistent rain moving in. in the east, with that sunshine, we could see 22—23 celsius, and again, it's going to feel quite humid. so, for wimbledon this weekend, saturday, the early rain will clear away to leave something a bit drier into the afternoon. sunday, mainly dry, but i still can't rule out

the odd shower there. and for wembley on sunday, certainly it's a dry start, but into the evening, we start to see some of that rain in the west pushing its way eastwards. that's because this area of low pressure will be working its way southwards and eastwards across the country. by monday, this is the position it'll be in. it's going to bring a very unsettled day. most northern and western areas will see sunny spells, some heavy showers. it's england and wales which will see the cloudiest skies and areas of heavy, maybe even thundery rain affecting central and southern areas, which could lead to some issues. the temperatures not quite as high —19—20 celsius will be the high. the heavy, thundery showers clearing away from the south and east on tuesday and wednesday. by the mid—latter part of the week, high pressure wants to build in, so it'll start turning sunnier, drier, and warmer.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. 0ur headlines today: history in the making — a weekend of preparations for england's most important football game in more than half a century. fans and players dare to dream. i know they will be there cheering us on around the country, and we just can't wait to hopefully try and win the game for them. businesses gear up for sunday's euros final with brisk trade in the lead—up to the match, and a late start for many on monday morning. fully vaccinated nhs staff could be let off having to self—isolate after contact with someone with covid, in a bid to tackle staff shortages.
