look at that, look at the way... where are the scores? just! yes, es! and jubilation for diver tom daley with his new partner matty lee — four olympic games and he's finally won gold. all day today, it's like everything is falling into place. we found that sense of flow. we didn't really say anything to each other. we just knew what we had to do to get the job done. and more british success — a gold for tom pidcock in the men's mountain bike cross—country and silver for alex yee in the men's triathlon a bit bizarre, really. that it's me that's doing this. i'm just a normal guy from south—east london. so it's just crazy. dreams really do come true. we'll bring you all the latest from tokyo as team gb shoots up to fourth place in the medals table. also on the programme... will more key workers in england be given the right to test daily for covid instead of self—isolating? ministers are meeting to decide. flash floods and wildfires — in a year of extreme weather

globally, scientists meet to assess the full extent of climate change. and the dutch band which is banned from performing as the netherlands closes nightclubs again because of covid. and coming up on the bbc news channel, a 13—year—old has won the women's skateboarding olympic final. japan's momiji nishiya took gold in the new event at her home games. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. it's been a gold rush for team gb at the olympics in tokyo. adam peaty claimed its first gold medal with victory in the 100 metres breaststroke, becoming the first british swimmer ever to retain an olympic title.

and the golds kept coming, with tom daley — in his fourth consecutive olympic games — coming top in the men's synchronised 10—metre diving with his partner matty lee. alongside them, tom pidcock won gold in the men's mountain bike cross—country event — and there was success in the men's triathlon, with alex yee securing a silver medal. our correspondent in tokyo natalie pirks has been watching all the action, and shejoins us now: well, and shejoins us now: we all well, and she joins us now: we all enjoyed super saturda well, we all enjoyed super saturday in london, didn't we? but today has been magic monday. first we had a swimming gold medal, and then diving right behind me. and thenjust moments later, britain's first ever olympic gold in the men's mountain bike, about to make your hours south—west of you. first, let's hear all about adam peaty�*s exploits, as he became the first british man to retain an olympic swimming title, as dan roan reports.

look at that. no wonder there was a swagger. such is his domination of this sport, the sense was that all adam peaty had to do to defend his title here in tokyo was turn up. defeat was unthinkable. so superior, adam peaty. but he still had to deliver when it mattered most. so he's got to hit the start here, adam peaty, in the centre in the red hat. unbeaten in the 100 metre breaststroke for seven years, peaty began as the firmest of favourites, and after a good start it never really seemed in doubt. this is very good, this is where he needs to be at the 50. it's a lovely first 50 metres. one tenth of a second outside his own world record. by the turn, his lead was established. the only question — whether he would break his own world record. that proved beyond him, but peaty was in a class of his own. and adam peaty is going to win the second gold medal at consecutive olympic games. look at this — utterly brilliant. adam peaty is the double olympic champion. fantastic swim. after so much expectation,

a roar of relief. minutes later, the 26—year—old telling me just how much it meant. the amount of blood, sweat and tears that have gone into this. my preparation, the investment, time, energy, love, because we've been through a tough time. covid or not, vaccine or not, doesn't matter. everyone's been through a tough time. the world's changed, and hopefully this race and this sport and hopefully the gold medals that are about to follow with team gb, we can give everyone hope back home. adam peaty is the olympic champion. this the first time ever a british swimmer has retained an olympic title. music: god save the queen. victory has rarely felt so inevitable. so great britain's banker at these games delivers again. in truth, it has become hard to imagine adam peaty not winning this, team gb�*s first gold medal

here in tokyo, and this swimmer�*s remarkable domination of his event continues. the man isjust a machine, you know, the pressure and expectation that has been on him by the nation, leading up to this olympics, include covid, and then include the fact he becomes the first gold medallist has been extraordinary. you need incredibly broad shoulders to be able to deal with that. watching on in the early hours back home in leicestershire, peaty�*s partner and baby son. i can't even find the words to describe it, because i don't think i've felt this kind of pride before. obviously with george there's a lot of pride, but it's so, so different, isn't it. already swimming's best ever breaststroker, peaty�*s status among the greatest of british olympians now secure. dan roan, bbc news, tokyo. well, before adam peaty�*s exploits,

alex yee had won silver in the men's triathlon, and then all eyes turn to the side of the aquatics centre,, the side of the aquatics centre,, the men's ten metre diving platform in the synchronised diving. tom daley�*s journey has taken him from a 14—year—old in beijing, to the self—confessed grandad of the team. he was guiding his new diving partner, matty lee, on his olympic debut. and it turns out rather successfully. and then we watched him wonder, as tom pidcock cemented his status as the one to watch in men's mountain bike. tom daley, olympic champion. the words he has waited a lifetime for. as he wiped away the tears ofjoy, it seemed even he could scarcely believe it. some 13 years after his debut, this games seemed his last realistic chance of a gold medal, in partnership with olympic debutant matty lee. partnership with olympic debutant

lauren williams is on her olympic debut, she is just 22 years old, lauren williams is on her olympic debut, she isjust 22 years old, she will be going in the final at taekwondo, the 67 kilograms final bout. a tough one, she faces the european champion from croatia. you can hear the swimming heats going on behind me. in the men's gymnastics, it is the team final. team gb are in fifth place after two locations. the best shot will be on the individual finals with max whitlock and joe fraser in three of those finals later on. in the hockey, great britain beat canada, the men, 3—1. the women, the defending champions, they havejust the women, the defending champions, they have just beaten south africa 4-1. but they have just beaten south africa 4—1. but there is no doubt that today was the day that it really caught fire here in tokyo for team gb. and those medals mean that britain are up from 19th overnight, up to fourth in the medal table. let's speak to the former british swimmer sharron davies, who is at the aquatic centre in tokyo. she won a silver medal in the 400—metre individual medley at the 1980 olympics in moscow.

thank you so much forjoining us. can we talk first of all about adam peaty? a fantastic achievement. absolutely. as you mentioned in that report, he is the first british swimmer ever to defend his olympic title. i wouldn't put it past him to be here again in three years time. it's been really, really tough for him, tough for everybody, of course. normally i would go away and spend a lot of their winter training abroad, he was in his garage, and then he had a small pool shift into his garden so he could do some water work and keep the feel of his hands. he has become a dad, moved house, so much has happened. the weight of expectation on his shoulders from the nation to bring home the first gold was extraordinary. and so professional, how he did it. do, gold was extraordinary. and so professional, how he did it. a word on tom daley. _ professional, how he did it. a word on tom daley, we _ professional, how he did it. a word on tom daley, we saw _ professional, how he did it. a word on tom daley, we saw such - professional, how he did it. a word i on tom daley, we saw such emotional scenes there. four olympics and finally a gold?—

and the covid app were meant to help control the spread of the coronavirus. but for businesses and other organisations, the so—called pingdemic has become a nightmare of staff shortages. last week, the government took action to protect food supplies. it said workers at some 500 sites involved in food production and distribution would be able to avoid isolation if they got pinged, and could take daily tests instead. that move has been welcomed by some. knowing that we are in scope as well is really great because it means that businesses who have been affected by the pandemic can plan for any colleagues that go off, whereas previously if somebody had been pinged they might have had a whole team of people wiped out, which would be difficult to plan for the supply of food and drink for the next three weeks. but others are less impressed because they say the government hasn't been clear enough about who is included in the scheme, and how it will actually work. we don't even know if we are included as one of the 500 companies.

if we were included we don't know how the testing is going to operate, so to be honest with you, we haven't got a clue. but this isn'tjust a problem for the food industry. transport networks have been hit as well. many railway companies have had to cancel services because they can't get enough drives. emergency services have been hit and pubs and restaurants have had to close because they can't get enough staff. there are exemptions available for a small number of fully vaccinated critical workers in sectors such as energy, watersupply, medicines, emergency services and border control. but the system has been criticised as too narrow and the government is under pressure to extend it, before a much wider relaxation of isolation rules comes in on august 16th so what we are saying to the most critical worker sectors is exactly that, so that is the fire, police, border control, certain parts of the food sector, that if you have had that double vaccination and indeed the two

weeks after you have had your second vaccination. but not the trains, he told us he told us it was chaos the boss of the rmt. certain elements of transport they have been looking at, to give that flexibility. but businesses say they can't wait that long, and warn that if the rules aren't eased sooner, the damage to them and their customers will mount up. theo leggett, bbc news. let's speak to our political correspondent helen catt. — so a possible widening of the scheme — but there are questions about the government's piecemeal approach to this? yes because we have seen that expansion because the government has said on august 16th in england it will be letting everyone who has been fully vaccinated avoid self—isolation from that point on wards, there are plenty of people saying why not do that now? why bother setting up the systems that can be a lot of work for the sake of three week? the government has been

bullish about saying no it is keeping self—isolation more widely in place until 16th august, they say that it in place until 16th august, they say thatitis in place until 16th august, they say that it is a key and essential way of keeping transmission down, and that the way to imagine the disruption is by creating the exemptions, so ministers are looking at the list of that, assessing is at their regular covid meeting, but it hasn't look looked like that strategy is up for review at all. there has been a bit of cautious backing for it from labour, saying they do want this exemption system to work and if it does, they should support it, so keir starmer said he didn't back calls from some unions who are have been saying workers who are except from isolation but are isolating should keep isolating but he said he drew a distinction between people who had been pinged and people who were isolating because they were living with a family member with covid as he himself is. many thanks.

the time is 12:17. our top story this lunchtime... adam peaty is the double olympic champion. fantastic women. —— swim fantastic women. —— swim a historic win for adam peaty at the tokyo olympics — the first ever british swimmer to successfully defend an olympic title and coming up: vintage style — we visit what's thought to be the uk's first permanent fashion swap—shop for adults. the first british swimmer to do so. he blew away the competition too take britain's first gold medal of the tokyo games. we've seen extreme weather this year around the globe — with floods in parts of europe and asia, and wildfires raging in the us and canada. it lends an urgency to a virtual meeting being held by the world's leading climate scientists — to hammer out the details of the most important un assessment of climate change since 2013.

it will be used at the cop26 summit in glasgow, which is less then 100 days away. our environment analyst roger harrabin has more. extreme temperatures and drought are fuelling more wild fires in northern california. fire is threatening spain, too — the catalonia region's facing one of its worst blazes in years. similar scenes on the italian island of sardinia, an out of control fire after a heatwave. scientists have long warned that climate change would make extreme weather worse. the reason why people realise that climate change is happening is because they see it all around the world. we have extremer weather events in every single country in the world. the science is very clear,

the scientists have always been very clear on what is climate change, how it is caused and how we can deal with it. no, no, no, no! in belgium, heavy rainfall has caused more flooding. less than a fortnight after deadly flash floods across western europe. a typhoon is battering china, days after severe flooding kills dozens of people. warmer air temperatures allow the atmosphere to hold more moisture — that contributes to more extreme rain. in geneva, governments are meeting to study the latest science on climate change. how bad will warming be? how fast will it progress? meanwhile, in london, as floodwaters streamed into a train station and turned roads into rivers, ministers from more than 50 countries met to lay the ground work for november's vital climate summit in glasgow. this was the message from the british host.

we are seeing in every part of the world, on each of our doorsteps, what happens when climate change gets out of control, and so what i hope that we have at this meeting is an opportunity for us to shape the vision of the final outcomes from cop26 in glasgow, and to build that unity of purpose among the ministers to deliver that. world leaders are under pressure to phase out coal power and to set more ambitious targets on emissions, although that won't always be popular with voters. they can only commit to, or doesn't matter what they commit to if they can't get that through their parliament, so there is a very complex process behind all this. there is a continuing mismatch between science and policy. some scientists fear that with just 1.2 degrees of heating now, the world might already have entered a phase of dangerous climate change. roger harrabin, bbc news. covid infection rates in the netherlands surged by more than 500% earlier this month,

following the scrapping of almost all remaining lockdown restrictions and the reopening of nightclubs in late june. the big rise in infections has prompted a swift u—turn, with nightclubs now closed until at least 13th of august. anna holligan went to meet one band who had hoped to perform this weekend. this was meant to be this band's breakthrough year. we make dutch electronic synth pop and it's awesome. but, with nightclubs closed, there is no audience to see them in action. we had, like, 70 shows and they all got cancelled. and that was a big bummer. i already told my girlfriend i was going to pay the rent. many feel as though they are being used as scapegoats by a state that keeps on changing direction.

you cannot put this entire weight of responsibility on the youth of today. that is just crazy. if you tell youth you can go out, and you are going out, then you are punished for going out... that is very hard on us, on young people, and we shouldn't be in such a position. earlier this month, the infection rate shot up by 500% one week after the government relaxed the rules before rapidly reintroducing them. and the dutch government here in the hague has been struggling to balance these competing demands. the nightclub owners who want to save their businesses, the people who just want to go dancing again, and the vulnerable groups and medical workers who fear it is too soon — any further relaxation could lead to another spike in infections. the dutch health minister was criticised after encouraging young people to get the single—shot janssen vaccine and go partying with the slogan, dancing with janssen. he admits the rush to restore freedom at home may result in less of it abroad.

translation: it is fair to say that increasing infection rates - could have consequences, for the extent to which we are welcome in other european countries. even the band, desperate to get back to live shows, are urging politicians to move with caution. the best thing they could have done would be keep it closed, keep it more strict. notjust throw everything open. so that we could just... when the time is right, really start again. really, that live energy, as you can tell... anna holligan, bbc news, the hague. ryanair says it expects to carry nine million passengers this month — almost double the number forjune.

the lifting of travel restrictions across the uk and europe has helped the budget airline to increase the number of flights it operates, following a surge in bookings. but ryanair warned that it would still make a loss of more than £230 million for the first quarter of this year. some coronavirus restrictions in northern ireland have been lifted. from today, up to 15 people from different households can meet indoors, and close contact services such as hairdressers can reopen without needing to pre—book an appointment. the stormont assembly will meet later to decide whether other measures can be eased, including the re—opening of theatres and concert halls. labour has launched a new campaign for working people, in an attempt to win back some of their traditional supporters who switched to the conservatives in the last general election. deputy leader angela rayner set out the party's vision for a post—pandemic britain with what she called �*good quality jobs' and �*proper wages.�* the conservatives say that they have protected millions ofjobs through the furlough scheme,

raised the national living wage, and reduced unemployment. singer and presenter ronan keating has accepted substantial damages from news group newspapers over phone—hacking of his voicemails. his legal team said stories which emerged in newspapers between 1996 and 2011 caused him "considerable distress," and led to him distrusting some of his closest friends. news group newspapers apologised for the distress caused in relation to the news of the world, which closed in 2011. vintage, pre—loved, orsecond—hand — whatever you call them, clothes that have had a previous owner are all the rage, largely due to concerns about sustainability. now — in what's thought to be a first in the uk — a permanent fashion "swap shop" for adults has opened in london. �*swappers' pay a membership fee to visit the store, and to exchange items they no longer want. jonelle awomoyi has more.

i'd spend about £300 a month on clothing. one day i had a girls' night at my house, and the girls came around and we were like, let's go out instead of stay in. everybody started moving things around my wardrobe. they were swapping amongst themselves. i saw this happen and thought, if i have all these things in my wardrobe and my friend has all these things in her wardrobe, it means we all have this problem where we have all of these clothes that we are not using that could go to somebody else. montana has opened a shop that runs on the basis of swapping instead of paying for goods. swappers, rather than shoppers, can trade in their clothes for second—hand garments. swap nation is thought to be the uk's first permanent fashion swap shop for adults. so i've brought three items, ok? there is a next dress. you get a four overall for that.

a celine blouse? it is a designer and it is made out of silk. overall it gets 13. a fast fashion top. it is made out of polyester. two to three tokens. you've got 20. 20. and i can go across this whole shop and choose whatever i'd like? take your time, browse, try them on, swap things in and out. it's up to you. ijust grabbed an amazing vintage top that if you are going to buy it would easily be £60 to £70. i have been able to come here with three items i don't wear and swap them. this is their first physical permanent store. it's really exciting for me. i wanted to be one of the first people through the doors today. swapping fashion is a good way of keeping a circular economy and maintaining a very small but kind of personal style wardrobe. you can still update it and things. it's been amazing. sustainable fashion is becoming more and more popular.

swap nation is just one example of a company that markets second—hand clothing, saving clothes from landfill and giving them a new life. there are enough clothes on the planet currently to clothe the next six generations of the human race. almost 70% of the clothes we buy today are synthetic. they are made from fossil fuels. clothing has a huge transport cost. most of our clothes are made 5000, 6000 miles away. every piece of clothing we have costs the planet. so, according to patrick, we need to consume less. but does swapping have to end with fashion? you could easily swap a lawn mower and then swap that back to somebody else because you've used it. you could do that within your community. that could definitely work as a business. time for a look at the weather — here's tomasz schafernaker.

tom good afternoon. the weather could prove troublesome once again over the next few day, at the moment it is quiet but storm clouds are expected to brew over the course of the week, and further heavy showers on the way, and there has been talk about flash floods, we had some yesterday. thailand is what is happening right now, so this is overknew of the atlantic, the jet stream is pushing weather systems in our direction, an area of low pressure and in this set up, we call it a set sup, you often see cool ever, not cold, but cooler petroltively speaking air from the north atlantic, that is one of the ingredients we need for heavy showers this time of the year. you have the strong sun above, coming from above and it heats up the land and showers form. tate is quieter, we are not getting heavier showers. it a decent day in places up to round 25 degrees, but, low pressure is over us and you can see the weather is approaching some western

parts of the uk, particularly the
