search for hundreds of people still missing after some of the worst flooding in western europe in decades. record rainfall caused rivers to burst their banks. more than 120 people lost their lives — most of them in germany. with cases rising 70% in the past week he want of a pandemic of the unvaccinated. facebook hit back saying 2 billion people access to authoritative information on its site. in a speech to the nation the south african president has said the deadly unrest that's swept the country was clearly planned and instigated. cyril ramaphosa said the violence was a failed attack on democracy but that the effects would last for months to come businesses are warning of looming staff shortages due to growing numbers of workers

having to self—isolate, after being contacted by the nhs covid app. transport unions say things will only get worse next week and are warning of dire consequences, when most covid restrictions are lifted in england. with more, here's sarah campbell. the pressure on business is unrelenting. in the last week we had our head of production, he got pinged, then the guy below him, the manufacturing manager, he got pinged. then the distribution manager got pinged and then the guy who is managing our new tap yard which was due to open on friday, he also got pinged. this brewery should have been welcoming 100 business customers to the opening of a new on—site bar this evening but with nine members of staff self isolating the event is off and the new bar will remain closed. you start thinking, the numbers are going down, we've got a deadline, we're going to be out of it, it's all going to be fine, but now you're just thrust straight back into it, into the fear of the pinging

and the fear of getting coronavirus, having people on—site, all of those things just make our entire industry very, very nervous, although they are all desperate to open because it has been such a financially crippling period. across town, one of the brewery�*s customers, the royal oak pub. it was closed recently for ten days after a staff member tested positive and the rest of the team were pinged to self—isolate. you have ordered stock in, everything is fresh food, as well, so that will go off, this will happen, you've lost money, all of these things, so it is a concern that if we get pinged today, tomorrow, especially someone from the management team, then it spirals and we have to do the whole thing again. more than half a million people in england and wales alone were pinged by this nhs app in the first week ofjuly, so the impact on business from pubs to major manufacturers has been huge, and if you are not self isolating because of work, you may well be because your child's classroom bubble has burst. at this school in nearby high wycombe, at times a third

of staff and almost 300 pupils have been self isolating. this is the most stressful that i think we have all felt and i think the children and their parents have felt that, as well. real fatigue, lots of wonderful positive messages out there that we are heading back towards normality, that we have gone to stage four of the road map, but that is not how it has felt in the last couple of weeks. 140,000 people are expected to watch sunday's grand prix at silverstone and many more pings seem almost inevitable, but today downing street insisted that the nhs app is doing what it was designed to do and remains one of the best tools available to help tackle coronavirus. sarah campbell, bbc news. now on bbc news: click. we are at silverstone for a

and developing it based on driver feedback. there are challenges there and a lot of it is integrating our system with the car system as the car is not great at tolerating other things being integrated. but we do love a challenge, thatis but we do love a challenge, that is part of why we do it. team brit's ultimate aim is to make — team brit's ultimate aim is to make racing history and to take a team — make racing history and to take a team to — make racing history and to take a team to the world—famous endurance taste, becoming the first all— endurance taste, becoming the first all british disabled team to do— first all british disabled team to do so _ first all british disabled team to do so. —— endurance test. what — to do so. —— endurance test. what are _ to do so. —— endurance test. what are the team's goals for this year? _ what are the team's goals for this year?— this year? the aim is to win the endurance _ this year? the aim is to win | the endurance championship within our class. we are well up within our class. we are well up there in the championship and have achieved to a class win so far this season. we are hoping for another one this weekend at silverstone. pull there with — weekend at silverstone. pull there with a _ weekend at silverstone. pull there with a look _ weekend at silverstone. pull there with a look at - weekend at silverstone. pull there with a look at the tech and i'm joined by lucy, there with a look at the tech and i'mjoined by lucy, one there with a look at the tech and i'm joined by lucy, one of the professionals team brit. tell me, why today so important?— tell me, why today so imortant? ., , ., important? today is about caettin important? today is about getting ready _ important? today is about getting ready for - important? today is about getting ready for the - important? today is about | getting ready for the racing and that is what we have to do

so well. we're here to make up the numbers. we are competing against able bodies races on a level playing field so the take is to be right, car setup is without my drivers had to be comfortable. we have taken him silverware in all three races —— and we want to do it again this weekend. we -- and we want to do it again this weekend.— -- and we want to do it again this weekend. we can see what ureat this weekend. we can see what great access — this weekend. we can see what great access the _ this weekend. we can see what great access the company - this weekend. we can see whatj great access the company gives to people with driving experience what for anyone with a disability? how accessible is this, really?— this, really? the others of wa s this, really? the others of ways we — this, really? the others of ways we can _ this, really? the others of ways we can get _ this, really? the others of ways we can get involved i this, really? the others of. ways we can get involved and this, really? the others of- ways we can get involved and we can help them. their attractive experiences we can offer them with a practice on a simulator photo we give them help and support to get you to our hand control technology and then they get out on the track. so it is stage and we are with them all the way and of course there is the money as well because motorsport is not cheap so for a full season's racing you are looking at £15,000 as a starter which will put a lot of people off but we have the method and there are ways and so definitely the door has been openin so definitely the door has been open in a weight has not been before so we would love people to get in touch and find out

cost a fraction of traditional satellite so we can launch many more satellites into space, collecting a lot more data. that allows us to track global warming and interplanetary life more accurately. these networks could also bring faster internet coverage across the world. some cubes now use a superfast communications to interact with each other. these liquid filled lenses can bend light 90 degrees so the information sent can travel more directly between cubes. of course they need power to operate which is why we built another solution. this project is called flat foot of the folded, lightweight actuated position system. it bends when heated so we can angle our satellites and panels to collect maximum energy from the sun. thisjoint can

collect maximum energy from the sun. this joint can also direct calls like antennas or cameras. materials often behave differently in space so we tested this in zero gravity. we recreate the way this atmosphere of space by dropping altitude in a matter of seconds. this is a replica of a starlight cube site that is already in space. these meadows distract unwanted light away, giving scientists a better look at far—away planets. today, it is a rooftop antenna so we can see when it is closest to boston to collect data from it. so we could find life outside our planet for the first time in the next few decades. our goal now is to have a new satellite launched every couple of years. thank you so much for joining us in our lab today.

cloud to start the day, too, across england, south wales, northern ireland. and a little bit across the south—east of england as well. there were ten to clear quite quickly but some of this cloud for the north and west will be more stubborn sustain quite grey, damp and windy the north—west scotland. 70 degrees for stornoway but in the sunshine in aberdeen, 25. the cloud in northern ireland is retreating to the coast. 26 in line for the afternoon. a bit murky for some of these irish sea coast of north—west england and north wales as well but coming on land, temperatures are few places up to 2930 degrees. always a little cooler around the coast with seabees is developing. but at silverstone for the british grand prix it looks hot through saturday and more especially for the race day on sunday with lots of sunshine. strong sunshine at that. very high uv levels for many especially towards the south and the west. so make sure you protect yourself if you're out and about for any length of time.

as we had to saturday night we will see long, clear spells especially down to what england and wales. northern ireland and scotland see more cloud. some of that footing across the irish sea across north wales and north—west england but pretty mild and quite warm night in places. 14, 15, 16 degrees. a sunday, the further south you are expect lots of sunshine once again. the north, though, generally more cloud in the mix by this stage and some patchy rain across the north of scotland. temperatures a little bit across the northern half of the uk but further south very warm or hot day. one in two places in the london area could get up to 30 or 31 degrees. into start of next week our area of high pressure will be with us but it would tend to slide a little further westwards and that will allow something of a northerly wind. were not the edge of the temperatures, little bit less hot. the odd shower in the south on monday and some rain later in the week.
