he's just 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. well, 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'd break his own world record. that proved beyond him, but peaty was in a class of his own. adam peaty is going to win a 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. come on! 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, the amount of preparation, the investment, time and energy, love — because we've been

through a tough time. covid or not, vaccine or not, it doesn't matter. everyone has been through a tough time. the world's changed, and hopefully with this race, and the 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. god save the queen plays. victory has rarely felt so inevitable. so, great britain's banker at these games delivers again. in truth, it's become hard to imagine adam peaty not winning this, team gb's first gold medal here in tokyo, and the swimmer�*s remarkable domination of his event continued. the man isjust a machine. you know, the pressure _ and the expectation that has been on him by the nation, -

leading up to this olympics, include covid, and then include i the fact that he becomes the first gold medallist, it has i just been extraordinary. you need incredibly broad shoulders to be able to cope 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 is so different, isn't it? already swimming's best ever breaststroker, peaty�*s status among the greatest of olympians now secure. dan roan, bbc news, tokyo. and the medals kept coming. 21—year—old tom pidcock from leeds took gold after a fearless display in the mountain biking race. in total, team gb brought home seven medals today, and it is only day three. as our sports correspondent

andy swiss reports. the journey to olympic gold has rarely been bumpier. just two months ago, tom pidcock broke his collarbone in a training accident, but as he charged to the front in the mountain bike cross country, you would hardly have guessed it. the 21—year—old finished so far ahead, he had time to celebrate in style. tom pidcock, the finest young mountain bike around, he takes gold in tokyo. pidcock trained for tokyo's temperatures in a specially heated tent at his home in leeds. and how those preparations paid off. yeah, it's incredible. everyone works so hard for the olympics, and now, yeah, i'm here. i'm olympic champion. it's unbelievable, really. lauren williams! another gold, meanwhile, proved agonisingly out of reach. lauren williams took up taekwondo after watching jadejones winning in 2012. now, jones was watching her, and, with just ten seconds to go, williams led the final, but then, heartbreak. tries to edge it over the shoulder.

she gets it. a late comeback from croatia's matea jelic and in a flash it was all over. so close for williams, and while silver was still some feat, she was left thinking of the gold that got away. it's not enough. i know it's not enough. i had her. i am very happy with how i performed all day. it's just a shame she got it in the last ten, but olympic silver medal, it's not bad, is it? there was also british success in the triathlon, albeit after a dramatic start. a boat blocking about half the athletes. they all had to go again. but come the finish, there was delight for alex yee, the 23—year—old taking a superb silver. a bit bizarre, really. there's me, to be honest, i'm just a normal guy from south—east london, so, it's just crazy that, yeah, dreams really do come true. it's just amazing. in the skateboarding, meanwhile, while teenage flicks are proving hard to beat... oh, there we go!

victory forjapan's 13—year—old momiji nishiya. indeed, it was the youngest podium in olympic history. average age of the medallists, a mere 1a and a half. but the happiest person in tokyo today wasn't actually an athlete. after australia's ariarne titmus won the 400 m freestyle, her coach dean boxall produced an even more remarkable display. if there was a gold medal for celebrating, it would surely be his! andy swiss, bbc news. the rest of the news now. there's been another fall in the daily number of coronavirus cases in the uk, for the sixth day in a row. new infections have now more than halved since the recent peak nine days ago. among the possible explanations, schools breaking up for the holidays, the end of the euros football tournament and the warmer weather. what's not clear yet is the impact of lifting england's restrictions last monday. here's our health correspondent

sophie hutchinson. another vaccines push in london's chinatown today. 88% of adults in the uk have now had at least one shot of the vaccine, and some believe early signs are emerging that the latest wave may be slowing. it was the start of the summer when things began to change. onjune1st, you can see there were around 3,000 coronavirus infections reported. they continued to rise sharply, until mid—july, when there were almost 55,000 infections a day. but, since then, you can see something unexpected has happened. and cases seem to be falling. it's the first time there's been a sustained fall in infections without a national lockdown. it's thought the warm weather may be contributing to cases reducing. the end of the euros, when football fans gathered to watch the championships, is also thought to have helped. but what is interesting one leading scientist is the speed of the drop in cases, which he believes may mean the pandemic has been

significantly weakened, because of our growing immunity. we are still likely to see increases in cases, come the autumn. but i think what we are seeing is that we are getting on top of this. we are at the point where we can start to look forward to thinking that this epidemic is behind us, but we're not there, we are not at that point yet. but hospitals are still under pressure, although admissions are nowhere near the levels in the first two waves, the number of patients with covid—19 is continuing to rise. here in york, like many hospitals, they are working at full capacity. it is very good news to hear that community numbers may have started falling, but if you look at the hospital admission numbers, they are still

rising exponentially. so, we are worried. it's difficult to predict what our peak will be this time. we are thinking around 90 patients at the peak, if the predictions are any good, but, yes, we are worried. pressure on hospitals is likely to ease if the drop in infections continues, and, as the vaccine is rolled out to more people, today's figures show covid cases have fallen for the sixth day in a row and are now at their lowest level for three weeks. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. the latest government figures show 24,950 new infections in the latest 24—hour period, which means an average of 36,125 new cases per day in the last week. latest science 14 deaths we latestj science re recorded in the last 2a hours, meaning on average 64 deaths were recorded every day in the last week. and according to the latest figures, more than 5200 patients

are in hospital with covid—19. you can see that number is slowly rising. more than 88% of uk adults have now had theirfirstjab and more than 70% are now fully vaccinated. three days after the government announced daily covid testing to help the food sector in england cope with a major staffing crisis caused by workers self—isolating, downing street has been unable to say how many of the new sites are operating. it was hoped the new centres would provide staff with a way of still going to work. number ten has insisted that 500 sites critical to food supplies and 200 covering other important sectors will be set up this week, caroline davies reports. from honey to covid test, this logistics company moves it or around the uk but with 25% of staff of isolating it has been a struggle. at the beginning of the pandemic we

will be able to take test to avoid isolation by others in the airport sector would have to apply to do the same. testing sites including at supermarket depots are being set up, but the government would not say how many of the 500 promised are up and running. on the trains, some services were cancelled. several operators got timetables today because of staff shortages. summer holidays, too few drivers and now pinging all added up. whilst some operators would like to exempt mostar from operators would like to exempt mostarfrom isolating operators would like to exempt mostar from isolating there are concerns from unions. if mostar from isolating there are concerns from unions.- mostar from isolating there are concerns from unions. if they were workin: concerns from unions. if they were working in — concerns from unions. if they were working in another _ concerns from unions. if they were working in another sector - concerns from unions. if they were working in another sector they - concerns from unions. if they were l working in another sector they would be told to stay at home, so we need some documentary evidence that what they are proposing to do is safe, and then we need some proper control measures about how this is going to work. ., ., , ., , , work. the government had previously said this is a — work. the government had previously said this is a small— work. the government had previously said this is a small and _ work. the government had previously said this is a small and targeted - said this is a small and targeted intervention to ensure that services critical to the safety and functioning of our society can continue. after a difficult year,

in glasgow in november, are warning global leaders that they are still not doing enough action to tackle climate change. our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt, reports. a fire truck drives through a wall of flame in california, and europe is burning, too. they have been struggling to contain vast fires in sardinia and northern spain. no, no, no, no, no! meanwhile, belgium was hit by deadly floods, just two weeks after 9more than 200 people were killed in the worst flooding to hit germany for decades. and china is being battered by a typhoon. it comes after a year's rain fell in just three days week in henan province. it is hard to imagine a more ominous

gift", whose death became the stuff of nightmares. this was olly injanuary, walking past a neighbour's door bell camera at 3:34pm. by 5pm, he was dead. not at the hands of an adult, but by other children. those children, who olly knew, included a 13—year—old girl, who lured him to this park so he could be confronted by two other boys aged 13 and 1a. it was, in effect, an ambush. and it was all because olly had simply posted a message on social media. olly was later stabbed during the fight. the girl and the two other boys can't be identified, because they're children. the court was shown this phone footage of the younger boy playing with a knife in his bedroom. the older boy also had pictures of knives. so this is the tree. yeah. praise ndela lives nearby.

she saw olly not long before the attack. like other local people, she now comes to this tree to reflect. he didn't even enjoy his youthful life, and he's gone now, so it's really sad. just, every time i come here, i come and pay my respects to olly and ifeel sorry for the parents who lost their son at an early age like this. at olly�*s funeral, his dad said he was loved, nurtured and cherished. the children involved in his death will be sentenced later. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in reading. a man has been describing how he tried to save his wife and nine —year—old son after they got into difficulties in loch lomond. a close friend also died in the tragedy after two families stopped at a beauty spot on their way home from holiday. they were among six people who drowned in scotland's waters in what the fire service have described as one of

canterbury cathedral is among the oldest churches in england. inside, its stunning windows depict symbolic religious scenes. this series was thought to have been made in the 13th century, but some of the panels, including this one, of the prophet nathan, have now been re—dated. for decades, historians have thought that some of these panels were made earlier than the others, because they're different in style. now, using a new technique, scientists have confirmed that not only are they much older, but they may well be among the oldest in the world. its only come to light now because of this device, called a windowliser. it may not look like much, but it was developed by scientists to be used on location without damaging the glass. it shines a beam onto the surface, which causes the material inside to radiate. this radiation contains a chemicalfingerprint, from which the researchers worked out its age.

we've been working on this detective story for some time, putting all the pieces in place, and then we finally get an answer, something new, that brings together science and art into one story. it's fantastic. these are all stories that were recorded at the time they happened here. the discovery has astonished leonie seliger, who looks after the stained glass windows here. she believes that the re—dated panels could go back to the mid—1100s, and were in place during great historical events at the cathedral, including the assassination of the then archbishop, thomas beckett, who features in many of these windows. they would have witnessed the murder of thomas beckett, they would have witnessed henry ii come on his knees, begging for forgiveness, they would have witnessed the conflagration of the fire that devoured the cathedral in 1174, and then they would have witnessed

all of british history. the cathedral contains a story of england's history, its artistry and its religious thinking. now, a new scientific discovery has given us a fresh perspective on the nation's past. pallab ghosh, bbc news, canterbury cathedral. time for a look at the weather here's tomasz schafernaker. storm clouds like the one behind me could be in the forecast for tomorrow, as tall as seven miles, delivering thunder and lightning and drawing in a very volatile, unstable atmosphere in the centre of this low pressure tomorrow. you can see the wind blowing around the low pressure but not in the middle of it, which is fairly calm which will move those showers around a lot so it could be raining for a long time in any one spot. this is the outlook, we will

be checking the daily forecast.
