but the phenomenon known as smoke shading is unpredictable. there are fears that high temperatures and wind gusts later in the weekend could fund the flames further. in oregon, firefighters are facing another problem, and a number have tested positive for covid—19. those who tested positive are now isolating in an area away from the base camp. it really just poses another complication for those firefighters

who face an enormous ordeal. with a long, hot summer still ahead, these fires will challenge much of the western united states for many weeks to come. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. firefighters are having to battle scores of wildfires across the united states as you can see. the dry weather is making matters worse. the west side of the country is particularly affected. in the state of oregon, the so—called bootleg fire is the country's largest. stefan myers is with the bootleg fire information team for the oregon state fire marshal. he is at the incident command post in lakeview oregon. thank you for coming onto the programme. can you bring us up—to—date with the latest on the ground? we up-to-date with the latest on the ground?— the ground? we now stand at 4001. .. 4100 _ the ground? we now stand at 4001... 4100 acres. - the ground? we now stand at 4001... 4100 acres. weather| the ground? we now stand at - 4001. .. 4100 acres. weather has 4001... 4100 acres. weather has been somewhat favourable the last couple of days to make great progress but it is heating up this weekend and we have concern for nearby communities. it have concern for nearby communities.— have concern for nearby communities. , ., , communities. it is heating up this weekend _ communities. it is heating up this weekend so _ communities. it is heating up this weekend so this - communities. it is heating up this weekend so this is - communities. it is heating up this weekend so this is no - communities. it is heating up. this weekend so this is no time to relax or for complacency

challenges as blazes spread across the north—western united states. in hungary, thousands of people have marched through the streets of budapest, to mark what organisers say is the largest gay pride gathering in the country's history. it comes after viktor orban�*s right—wing government pushed through a law banning the portrayal or promotion of homosexual or transgender content to people under—18. courtney bembridge reports. thousands gathered in budapest to send a message of acceptance, unity and defiance. i think it's more important than ever to out onto the streets and show that we are together, we are joined in this fight for the rights and the freedom for lg btq people. the annual parade on took on special significance this year after a controversial law was passed, making it illegal to depict homosexuality and gender reassignment to children. so that means, you know, books with gay characters in,

it means advertising it means television programmes with any kind of portrayal or discussion of lgbt themes is technically against the law. the government has billed it as an anti—pedophile law, but these crowds say it's a move designed to divide. translation: this is nothing more than a diversion - that is trying to tear the country apart. i think it's provocation because of the elections. translation: the law is an outrage. - we live in the 215t century when things like that shouldn't be happening. we aren't in communist times, this is the eu, where everybody should live freely. organisers of the pride parade say it's the largest ever held in hungary, and they hope it will send a strong message to prime minister viktor orban. there was fear that many lgbt people are now planning to leave the country if there is no change or no

change in government next year. many of hungary's eu partners are furious over the new law and the block has begun legal action, warning it will use all power is available to force hungry to appeal or change the law. courtney bembridge, bbc news. research published in the medicaljournal, the lancet, shows there's been no progress in the levels of physical activity, especially in the young, over the last 10 years. the authors suggest that olympic games host cities should do much more to provide a lasting legacy. professor melody ding is one of the co—authors of the research — she gave us more details. we examine data from the recent eight olympic games and what we found was that in all of these countries that we analysed, there was essentially no change in terms of physical activity,

participation at the population level, so the data is basically saying that we hope that the olympics could create a legacy for the communities in terms of sports participation and being physically active, but there is limited data to back it up. what you think they should be doing more of to try and get people moving? so, from the bidding stage, we really advocate that the ioc and the local organising committees, together with other sectors, for example transportation, education, sports, health, could all work together to really create a narrative around the olympic games, not just for elite athletes, but also for communities and the entire population to use this as an opportunity to be more active, and this should be already at the bidding stage for the conceptualisation of the olympics, and the preparation towards the olympics and during the olympics and post olympics, there should be data collected, with various indicators to collect evidence as to whether these strategies are working, so we currently don't even have

enough evidence to conclude, so future olympic host cities should really make use of this is an opportunity to catalyse physical activity in the population. and who in particular is being left behind here? so this series has found two particular populations that have been left behind. a reminder to the audience here the adolescents make up for about one quarter of the world's people, and what we have found is that more than 80% of the world's adolescents are not meeting the who recommendations of one hour of physical activity per day, and this

trend is really worrying, and on top of that, what we are seeing is in 97 countries based on the who school survey data, adolescents are spending more than three hours each day outside of their school hours being sedentary, and there is data coming from europe showing that a lot of the time is being spent on screens, so tv, video games, phones, various devices, and that is very concerning. emergency workers in western india have been frantically trying to rescue around 50 people, feared trapped in a landslide, triggered by monsoon rains, in the state of maha—rashtra. officials said the downpours over the past few days, have triggered severe flooding in many parts of the state, causing widespread devastation. here's our south asia regional editor, anbarasan ethirajan. the rains have subsided briefly in the state of maharashtra, giving the officials an opportunity to deploy more emergency teams to look

for survivors in this devastating flood, which triggered landslides and flooding in many records rivers across the state. dozens of people have been killed. in one particular village, their whole settlement is buried in the debris. people there described within a matter of minutes, the whole settlement went under the mud. dozens of people are feared and still trapped under the debris. the government has sent teams which they are now desperately trying to rescue the survivors there. but the number of debris is continuously going up in this particular state, and also the rivers are flooding because the torrential downpour has increased water levels in dams, so the authorities are forced to release water in the rivers. that has flooded many towns and villages. photographs and videos show how people have gone to the rooftops because of the flooding. the enormous damage

that is staggering at a time we have been going through this pandemic, people are not having enough income. now this has added to the misery of people in maharashtra and in neighbouring states. again, where the officials describe the worst flooding in the last four decades. let's get some of the day's other news. the president of cuba's supreme court says 59 people have been prosecuted over the unprecedented mass protests on the island two weeks ago. ruben remigio ferro did not specify how many protesters had been arrested, but dismissed accusations of summary trials. dissident groups say there were more than six—hundred arrests after protests erupted to demand democratic change.

the senior guatemalan anti—corru ption prosecutor, juan francisco sandoval, has left the countryjust hours after being removed from office. he's reported to have crossed the border into el salvador. the government said he'd been dismissed because of abuse of office, but mr sandoval says he was fired for seeking truth and justice. protestors have again taken to the streets across brazil in support of vaccination, and to demand the impeachment of president bolsonaro as the country struggles with high numbers of covid deaths. local media reported demonstrations in 13 state capitals including sao paulo and rio dejaneiro. around 17% of the brazilian population has been fully vaccinated so far. uk army bomb disposal experts have safely detonated a world war 2 bomb which was found during the construction of a new housing estate in east yorkshire. part of the m62 motorway has had to be shut near goole for a controlled explosion to be carried out.

jake zuckerman reports. the moment a live world war ii bomb was detonated on the outskirts of goole. this was the device dug up by workers building a new housing estate in the town. bomb disposal expert spent yesterday and much of today preparing for the controlled explosion, and for motorists, it was the cause of much frustration. the m62, which passes right next to the site, was closed in both directions as police cordoned off the area. it led to traffic chaos across large parts of east yorkshire. i live in doncaster, i'm working today, at the infirmary on call, but i'm stuck in the traffic. i'm absolutely frustrated, but what else can we do? i have just told the on—call person to hold on, because i think i'm going

to be very late today. the village of ermin near goole came to a standstill, and east yorkshire buses were stuck on the bridge and kick off at hull city's game against scunthorpe united was delayed due to the traffic. this is only a village, it was not meant to be traffic traffic like this, ever. we have never seen so many jams, ever. meanwhile in goole, local people watched and waited and tried to find a good vantage point. i meant to be inside watching the olympics, but i'm trying to work out what's going on, trying to catch a glimpse of it all. i've just nipped through to see if we could see through and if it's a good viewpoint. spectators had to wait until 4:30, but when the moment finally came, it was dramatic. it's been a diversion from all the covid and everything, so it's been exciting. something quite different for goole, certainly putting it on the map today.

i like to end with a bang. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @lvaughanjones. this is bbc news. good evening. the weather story is on the change, and we've seen signs of that today with some contrasting conditions out there. yes, there were early—morning thunderstorms across southern england, and then those eased to a legacy of cloud for much of the day. further north and west, we've had some beautiful sunshine, and yet again, some warmth — not the extreme warmth, but 25 degrees. that's 77 fahrenheit. it looks likely that we see that north—south divide through the night with clearer skies to the northwest. but low pressure really dominating the story over the next few days, and that could trigger off further thundery downpours overnight tonight for southern england and for south wales, and that'll continue into the early hours of sunday morning. so, at risk, then, of some showers here. there'll be quite a lot of cloud as well spilling in off north sea coasts, the clearer skies the further north and west. it's not going to be a cold night.

temperatures will hold up quite widely into double figures, perhaps quite a humid feel generally down to the south, with 16 degrees to start off sunday morning. so, sunday, once again, we could see some sharp, thundery downpours first thing in the morning, with this area of low pressure really not going very far, very fast at all. the best of the dry, brighter weather is likely to be further north and west. the lion's share of the sunshine will be in scotland and northern ireland. early—morning cloud should thin and break across northeast england, the risk of those showers across east anglia and down to the southeast are likely to linger for much of the day. if you keep some sunshine, the highest values are likely to be once again into the mid—20s. now, this more unsettled theme is set to continue into monday with the low pressure just drifting its way further north and east up through the north sea. that means the further east is likely to see more in the way of showers.

so, monday is a messy mix, really, of sunny spells and scattered showers. the best of the sunshine is likely to be out to the west, and we could see temperatures once again into the mid—20s. but some of these showers could bring a lot of heavy rain in a short space of time, so the weather story is certainly on the change. last week, it was extreme heat and lots of sunshine. our week ahead keeps those showers and certainly, a notable difference to the feel of the weather, with temperatures just below where they should be for the time of year.

this is bbc news. the headlines: day two of the olympics in tokyo is getting underway with surfing and skateboarding making their debut at the games. on day one of the games the host nationjapan picked up its first medals, winning gold and silver injudo. thousands of people in the western united states, are spending the weekend in evacuation centers, as wildfires continue to burn across the region. more than 80 large wildfires in 13 us states have burnt around 1.3 million acres in recent weeks. thousands of people have marched through the streets of the hungarian capital, budapest, to mark the largest gay pride gathering in the country's history. it comes after viktor orban�*s right—wing government pushed through a law banning the portrayal or promotion of homosexual or transgender content to people under—18. now on bbc news, dateline london.
