18—year—old tunisian swimmer ahmed hafnaoui pulling off a stunning victory in that race, he qualified in the slowest time, he was on the outside lane, he went on to win, it was such an extraordinary moment, he was such an extraordinary moment, he was in shock and so was his coach. bbc�*s africa because respondent told us what this means for tunisia and the swimming sensation. the us what this means for tunisia and the swimming sensation.— us what this means for tunisia and the swimming sensation. the fact he has tied tunisian _ the swimming sensation. the fact he has tied tunisian coaches, _ the swimming sensation. the fact hej has tied tunisian coaches, everybody screaming and celebrating him, it's one half of the duo. he trains and lives in tunisia with his coach and so for him i think it meant a bit more because even for his coach he could see that in him. it's very difficult to have a lot of recognition, even a swimmer from europe, he is africa's top swimmer. the women's weightlifting events begin on monday and one of those going for gold rugby team gb�*s emily

about japan's success festival. absolutely, another really busy day from tokyo and it really has been a great start to the games forjapan, a remarkable story from the shadow here today, uta abe and her brother hifumi both taking gold medals within hours of each other, uta abe in the women's and her brother in the 66 kilograms category, the first siblings in any sport ever to win olympic gold medals on the very same day, and injago it originated in japan, huge sport over there, making that even more special for the home fans watching around the country. and if that wasn't enough japan took another gold in the men's skateboarding, the world champion yuto horigome won the men's street event not to far from where he grew up event not to far from where he grew up as a boy, so wise decision by the looks of it from the organisers to

debut skateboarding at these games. good stuff. list about team gb, medals for the first day today. it’s medals for the first day today. it's been a medals for the first day today. it�*s been a mixed day for team gb but they are up and running with their first medals of the games, bradley said in the world champion won 13's server but that was after he was narrowly beaten in a dramatic men's 68 kilograms final by uzbekistan competition but there was disappointment in the women's tae kwon do competition, jadejones, one of team gb's main hopes for another gold medal was knocked out in the first round of the 57 kilograms category severe disappointment there, but there was a medal when dating, chelsie giles took bronze in the women's and 33 event to become team gb's first medallist of these

been advised not to compete in both events because of their injury. he events because of their in'ury. he has events because of their injury. he has had so many frustrations injuries and irritating injuries that have just stopped him pursuing his competitive hopes. let's end on people being disappointed for different reason, not even getting a chance to fly out to tokyo even though they are on the list to take part. {iii though they are on the list to take art. ., ., , ., ., part. of the favourites for gold in the men's _ part. of the favourites for gold in the men's golf— part. of the favourites for gold in the men's golf competition, - part. of the favourites for gold in the men's golf competition, the l part. of the favourites for gold in i the men's golf competition, the big hitting american and the spain world number one, the second time that rahm has tested positive, but talking about rahm he had a six month —— six shot lead, heading into the final round and was first to pull out after being told he had tested positive. he did go on to win the us open a few weeks later but would have been delighted with that but this is another blow for him, this positive result for both

players was detected in the pcr test following the british open in kent last week, neither had travelled to tokyo yet and we do know that the usa will replace the man with the former masters champion patrick reed so not a bad substitute there. hat so not a bad substitute there. not havin: so not a bad substitute there. not having made that horrendously long journey, only to get there and to turn round again, but i'm sure it's hugely disappointing for him nonetheless. good to good to speak to you, and you have sportster coming up later. in other news... the leader of the amhara region of ethiopia has appealed to all residents with weapons to mobilise against rebels from neighbouring tigray. this follows a similar call by the head of the afar region, leading to fears that the conflict in tigray could spread. hundreds of tunisians have taken to the streets of the capital, tunis, to demand the resignation of the government over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. cases have been rising sharply,

putting further pressure on the faltering economy. the tunisian prime minister sacked the health minister last week, but this has done little to ease people's anger. heavy rainfall has again caused severe flooding in parts of belgium ten days after flash floods killed at least 36 people. some of the worst affected areas were the city of namur and the historic town of dinant. more rain is forecast. thousands of people in the western united states are spending the weekend in evacuation centres as wildfires continue to burn across the region. more than 80 large wildfires in 13 states have destroyed around 1.3 million acres in recent weeks. our north america correspondent, peter bowes, reports. the dixie wildfire, california's biggest blaze to the north of the state, is growing rapidly. firefighters are battling day and night to try to bring it under control, but it's spreading with such ferocity that it's

making its own weather, creating huge clouds that are generating lightning strikes across the region. about a fifth of the fire's perimeter has been contained, but officials say the extreme nature of the fire, along with low humidity, is hampering efforts to quell the flames. people have been evacuated from their homes in several nearby counties. smoke from the fire is travelling far and wide and is even reaching the neighbouring state of oregon, where it's helping firefighters put out the country's largest blaze, known as the bootleg fire, south of portland. a layer of smoke is blocking sunlight and creating cooler conditions, making it easier forfirefighters to gain ground on the blaze. but the phenomenon, known as smoke shading, is unpredictable and there are fears that high temperatures and wind gusts later in the weekend could fan the flames further. efforts to bring this fire under control have been further complicated by an outbreak

of covid—19 among firefighters. those who've tested positive are isolating and are said to be exhibiting mild symptoms. 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. the british politician in charge of this year's climate summit has said there's mounting evidence of the dangers we all face if climate change is allowed to get out of control. ashok sharma was addressing a meeting of environment ministers from more than fifty countries. dr sarah ivory is the director of centre for business, climate change and sustainability at the university of edinburgh business school. cani can i ask you first of all, can't ever say that an individual weather

event is the consequence of change. what then is the former business secretary trying to communicate with this message?— secretary trying to communicate with this message? thanks for having me. we know there _ this message? thanks for having me. we know there will _ this message? thanks for having me. we know there will be _ this message? thanks for having me. we know there will be an _ this message? thanks for having me. we know there will be an increase - this message? thanks for having me. we know there will be an increase in l we know there will be an increase in the —— in extreme weather due to changes in the climate, changes in complex systems, and that is what makes this very difficult to predict so while we do not point to a specific wildfire or flag say, that is caused by climate change,

lesson before, the best agreements and press conferences and parties come from the months leading up to it and all the work behind the scenes of people we never even hear off, the ones who splash the headlines, but the stumbling blocks are always and will always be issues of finance and the finance flows and where they go, where they come from, and that issue ofjustice. the nations at the front line are not the ones who have benefited from the industrialisation and fossil fuels and other wealthier nations so how do we address that issue? that will be a stumbling block pulls us, china and india, thinking about coal, but not only there pet and other places and coal will be a big?. in a not only there pet and other places and coalwill be a big?.— and coalwill be a big?. in a sense, some people _ and coalwill be a big?. in a sense, some people might— and coalwill be a big?. in a sense, some people might say, _ and coalwill be a big?. in a sense, some people might say, it - and coalwill be a big?. in a sense, some people might say, it is - some people might say, it is self—evidently the case that the industrial world that have burned

fossil fuels have contributed to warming the atmosphere but for many of the poorer countries fossil fuels remain one of the things that is an affordable energy source and we are asking them to phase it out. how big asking them to phase it out. how big a stumbling block is that? had a hue a stumbling block is that? had a huge stumbling _ a stumbling block is that? had a huge stumbling block. _ a stumbling block is that? had a huge stumbling block. we - a stumbling block is that? had a huge stumbling block. we also l a stumbling block is that? herc —. huge stumbling block. we also look at the per capita emissions of countries in the west and we see they are really high and we look at they are really high and we look at the per capita emissions of countries who rely on coal and actually we see they are relatively low in comparison, so these countries ask a valid question which is, why are you picking on us? the answer is we need to help them to make it happen, often with financing flows but also with technologies, the idea that actually energy security, cleaner air, there are lots of benefits to renewables that we need to help all countries in the world benefit from.—

improvements have been made but admits women's experience isn't yet equal to men's. jonathan beale reports. what's it like being a female soldier, i'm often asked. this is the army's latest recruitment campaign, aimed at women. i'm the one stitching them up! i'm not a miss or a mrs, i'm a sergeant. - it suggests gender is not an issue in today's armed forces. but this report by mps paints a very different picture with women suffering disproportionately from bullying, harassment, discrimination and even sexual assault and rape. six out of ten women in our evidence said that they don't make complaints because of fear of reprisals and repercussions. and what we are finding is that women are subsequently leaving the military before their time. put some pressure on this for me. women make up around 12% of the regular armed forces. the report highlights practical issues for them, such as not being given uniforms and body armour that fit.

but mps say they're gravely concerned that women are ten times more likely than men to experience sexual harassment. you're asking for it, that's the impression you get, you're not completely blameless in all of this. sophia, not her real name, was an officer in the royal navy when she was sexually harassed and then assaulted by her male boss. she left in 2017 after a five—year career, successfully taking her complaint to a civilian court after she felt let down by her chain of command. it was such an effort to have anyone hear me. and why do you think they didn't want to hear you? it's a boys' club. they closed ranks. they wanted to make sure he was all right. they don't want it happening on their watch. it's bad press for them and it doesn't look good on their reports. that's definitely the impression i got. the ministry of defence said it's made many changes to improve the experience of women in the armed forces. it said it profoundly regretted

the experience of some. but mps want the chain of command to be removed from complaints of a sexual nature and cases of rape to no longer be tried in a military court. jonathan beale, bbc news. the number of daily coronavirus cases in the uk has fallen again for the fifth successive day. overall, 29,173 new cases were reported across the uk in the last 2a hours. in total, more than a6.5 million people have now had a first does of a coronavirus vaccine and more than 37 million have received a second dose. the daily deaths figures are not yet available. after the figures, i spoke to professor paul hunter, who's a professor in medicine at the university of east anglia. he gave his reaction to the declining case numbers. the trending is continuing, and we

are seeing quite substantial reductions in case numbers over the last few days, and today's figures are about a0% lower than they were last sunday, which is roughly the same drop as we saw yesterday compared to the previous saturday as well, so it is looking very encouraging at the moment. we are onl a encouraging at the moment. we are only a week- -- _ encouraging at the moment. we are only a week... not _ encouraging at the moment. we are only a week... not quite _ encouraging at the moment. we are only a week... not quite a _ encouraging at the moment. we are only a week... not quite a week - encouraging at the moment. we are. only a week... not quite a week from freedom day and you will want the two weeks to give an accurate picture and what impact that may have had on infection rates. do these figures look manageable at the moment? ., �* moment? you're quite right, it will not be until— moment? you're quite right, it will not be until friday _ moment? you're quite right, it will not be until friday at _ moment? you're quite right, it will not be until friday at the _ moment? you're quite right, it will not be until friday at the earliest i not be until friday at the earliest before we start seeing any impact of freedom day on the statistics, but evenif freedom day on the statistics, but even if freedom day does increase transmission, and it's not certain that will be the case, schools are closing, so that will reduce

transmission, but a lot of venues are opening up which potentially could increase transmission, but if we what we are seeing at the moment is quite a substantial downward pressure already on case numbers, then come next week when we start seeing the impact of freedom day, it might well be that we are seeing a fall, but that is optimistic and we will have to wait. plans to require football fans to be fully vaccinated if they want to go to premier league matches are being considered by the uk government. our political correspondent, helen catt, has the story. football fans have already been part of testing ways to keep big events going when coronavirus is very much still here. the fa cup final at wembley was a pilot event. and this weekend, the government has also turned to football to try to boost uptake of the vaccine among young people with a message from the england manager. i know oldies like me have had both jabs so we can crack on with our lives.

but for you younger ones especially it's the chance for everything to open up. concerns about the number of younger people still unvaccinated are also thought to be a driver behind the idea for vaccine passports for events. the government is in talks with the premier league to use them at matches from october. ministers want to make things equal between all sports so it's likely other crowds would have to do the same. earlier this week, the prime minister announced that vaccine passports would be needed to go to nightclubs in england from the end of september. i should serve notice now that, by the end of september, when all over—185 will have had their chance to be double jabbed, we're planning to make full vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather. other spectator events with crowds of over 20,000 people, such as big concerts, are also likely to face similar requirements. mps and fans' groups have already raised concerns. at the start of the pandemic

in 2020, questions were raised about the role the cheltenham festival may have played in spreading the virus. the government and sports bodies are likely to be keen to make sure they can have full capacity crowds this winter without such worries. helen catt, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello. like yesterday, some of us are seeing blue skies and sunshine today but, for others, we've got torrential rain and thunderstorms. it's all down to this area of low pressure. it's going to be with us for much of the week ahead, and it's been generating frequent showers and thunderstorms through parts of east anglia, south—east england, central and southern england. we now have an amber warning from the met office for thunderstorms across london and the home counties through this evening. so further torrential rain, gusty winds and also hail as well. this is what's been happening over the last few hours. so you can see how these showers have been developing in a line

from east anglia all the way down to the south coast. those red and yellow colours there indicating the lightning strikes. we're going to keep those going as we head through this evening. now, slowly overnight, they will start to lose some of their energy and pull away, but likely to keep going for much of the night across the far south—east of england. elsewhere, more mist and low cloud pushing in from the north—east, also some mist and low cloud across northern ireland, but, elsewhere, some clearer skies, and it's another mild if not muggy night with lows between 11—16 celsius. for most of us tomorrow, we get off to a mainly dry start, some mist and low cloud across eastern coasts and northern ireland, but also some spells of sunshine, but it won't be long before thunderstorms get going, and they're going to be somewhat hit and miss, almost anywhere could see them tomorrow, but, also, some warm spells of sunshine in between. warmer than it's been over the weekend across central and southern england with temperatures here around 25—26 celsius. but more showers gathering in the west, and that's a sign

of things to come as we head into tuesday because this area of low pressure is still the dominant feature. also, we've got these showers pushing their way eastwards, merging to give a longer spell of rain. so it's a very messy picture on tuesday, always going to be hit and miss with these showers, but it's likely they will merge to give longer spells of rain and, where we get them, we will also see some thunder and lightning as well, so a tricky day on tuesday, frequent showers around, and temperatures not much higher than 17—21 celsius, much closer to average than what we saw last week. through wednesday and thursday, this area of low pressure begins to deepen. the isobars come closer together, so we will see a strengthening breeze through the middle part of the week, further frequent showers as well, but actually looking a little bit drierfor some areas towards the end of the week, but certainly cooler than it has been.
