this is bbc world news. the headlines — a global education summit in london has raised four billion dollars for education in poor countries. but charities say the amount is less than was hoped for, calling it "undewhelming". a public inquiry into the murder of a maltese investigative journalist, daphne caruana galizia, has found that the state bore responsibility for her death. the report said the government had failed to recognise risks to her life and take reasonable steps to avoid them. covid cases injapan surge as local media report infections across the country have exceeded 10,000 cases for the first time and top medical advisers urge the government to issue stronger warnings about the virus. the usa's sunisa lee has won the women's all—around gold medal. it's the fifth time in row that a us gymnast has won the event. on wednesday, us gymnast and four—time olympic gold medallist simone biles pulled out of the competition citing her mental health.

you're watching bbc news. england's deputy chief medical officer, jonathan van tam, says he hopes the worst of the coronavirus pandemic is behind us, but he has warned there could be "one or two bumpy periods" ahead as autumn approaches. he has urged people who've not yet been vaccinated to come forward. the latest data from public health england suggests that covid vaccines have prevented an estimated 22 million infections and 60,000 deaths in england alone. here's our health correspondent sophie hutchinson. after the misery of many months with a pandemic, the thrill of the holidays. the nhs in england went to fir park today to encourage its younger visitors to get vaccinated. we're doing covid vaccines today. ijust want to be more safe and know i am 0k, and also when everything

is open now i can have my freedom. did you see that? there's something about being fearless when you are young and perhaps that is what is being played out with the vaccinations. unlike with the older generation who went full throttle to get immunised, a significant proportion of younger people are still dragging their feet over getting the jab and getting protected. the numbers of those being immunised are continuing to rise but there is a stark difference between the age groups. more than 30% of 18 to 29—year—olds in england still have not had a single dose of the vaccine. compare that to the over—60s, were 90% have had two jabs. today, the deputy chief medical officer was answering questions from young people on bbc news about the vaccine. i was wondering why would i or any other young person be _ inclined to get the vaccine for individual reasons. -

the idea that covid is less serious to the young is right, but the idea that it is not pretty serious indeed for some young people is sadly wrong. and then, of course, on top of that, there is the risk of long covid. in northern ireland, there's been enormous concern about what has been described as the incredibly slow uptake of vaccines by the under—30s. and in, glasgow health officials have taken the jabon a bus to hand in park in an attempt to persuade more younger people to get immunised. i didn't really think i needed it, but i suppose i am going to need it for things like vaccine passports. i was waiting to see. i am not against it. it was just a case of not yet. many have not been able to enjoy a day out. a record number, nearly 700,000,

have been pinged by the nhs, advising them to self—isolate, and for those young people who want to continue to go out, it seems increasingly likely that being double jabbed will be the key. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. the number of daily coronavirus cases has risen for the second day in a row after a week of falls. the latest government figures show there were 31,117 new cases in the latest 24—hour period, though that number is down on this time last week. there were on average 29,238 new cases per day in the past seven days. 85 deaths were recorded in the last 2a hours, meaning an average of 71 deaths in the past week. the number of people in hospital with covid has risen slightly again, to 603k. more than 88.4% of uk adults have now had theirfirstjab, and more than 71.4% are now fully vaccinated. more now on the olympic games and away from the successes of team gb, ireland have won their first ever rowing gold medal. skibbereen rowers paul 0'donovan and fintan mccarthy finished first

in the lightweight men's double sculls, holding off a challenge from their german competitors. it's ireland's first olympic gold since boxer katie taylor at london 2012. we can speak to the captain of skibbereen rowing club, sean 0'brien. thank you very much for being with us this evening. it must have been quite a reaction from fellow rowers down at the club when the boys one. it was pretty exciting. due to covid—19, we did not have a big crowd watching last night at the club. we kept the number small, especially we kept the younger athletes away in case of infection and we did not want anything to happen that would kind of silly the whole occasion. but it was pretty exciting, no doubt about that. we had a taste in rio when they won the

i woke up this morning and i looked at these two gold medals and i thought, you know, they're actually mine, so it's amazing. did you surprise yourself? you can't go into it thinking you're not going to be able to do it, because then you've kind of written yourself off at that point already, so the 200, it was going to be tight. luckily i got my hand on that wall first. four hundredths separating us both, i think it's really fingertip stuff. cheering. i must ask you about the video of your family back home, because it's gone viral, of course. cheering. he laughs. my mum's going crazy, oh, my god. who can you see there? i can see all my family, i can see my neighbour. all my brothers and sisters. i could watch this video so many times, honestly. see, i thought it would be, you know, one or two neighbours or something like that. and i look and it'sjust, it looked like half of maidenhead were there. it was amazing. cheering. i always had a hunch that my mum would put on a big party. she loves putting on a big party, and i think that shows how much it means to people back home.

i must ask you about covid quickly, because lots has been written about this recovery. how ill were you? i think i was the first athlete in any olympic sport within great britain to have a reinfection case. right. you know, i'm coughing and wheezing, and i'm doing a sport that requires so heavily on your lungs and heart. i'm thinking, how am i going to be able to get back to the brutal training that it requires? but luckily no long—lasting effects, and here i am hopefully with it behind me for good. this is wonderful. duncan scott, can you get the world record? it's gold to great britain. well done, guys. tom dean is a double olympic champion. i mean, how wonderful was it to have that as well and to get a second? like a dream come true. the four guys i shared the podium with were the four best guys i could possibly imagine. swimming's right up there, very, very competitive, so this is a major achievement by great britain. this is it for us, and if we can put on a good show here, i think it's going tojust bring up the sport within the country and get it into kind of the limelight a bit more, which is where it should be,

and kind of bring it into the centre of people's focus, because team gb and british swimming are here to stay. tom dean speaking to dan roan. itv has said there are "no current plans" for another series of the x factor. a statement from the broadcaster came following reports in the sun that creator simon cowell has axed the programme after 17 years. the newspaper said the programme is being rested for at least five years. the x factor first aired in 2004 and was last shown in its usual format in 2018. it's helped launch the careers of artists including 0ne direction, little mix, 0lly murs and leona lewis. in a moment, we will speak to the one of the show�*s most famous contestants katie waissel. she was part of the show�*s seventh series back in 2010. first, let's see take a look at one of her performances. ? i ?iam ? iam the ? i am the king of the singers yeah. # thejungle vip.

or allegedly or whatever you want to say of that show in order to make room for the heavily narrated show thatis room for the heavily narrated show that is about to be launched. in other words, the idea of these kinds of talent shows, the modern version of talent shows, the modern version of the talent show that used to be on stage all those years ago and eventually got into television, something similar. but what you were hoping is they won't make the mistakes of the past, in other words something great for audiences perhaps or maybe he was great for a very small number of performers who became national international stars as a result, was not necessarily so good for some of the other people who took part and if you like were knocked out at different stages or found the addition process brutal or whatever it may be that it will be something more nurturing. is that what you think? i something more nurturing. is that what you think?— what you think? i would definitely hone in on — what you think? i would definitely hone in on the _ what you think? i would definitely hone in on the word _ what you think? i would definitely hone in on the word nurturing - what you think? i would definitely hone in on the word nurturing and what you think? i would definitely l hone in on the word nurturing and i believe that it's always a learning curve in the hopes that in whatever

form or any type of talent show or reality tv show as a whole is really kind of considered within this kind of future forward thinking new world that we as a community as a whole really tried to push forward. which really tried to push forward. which really is the transparency now of really is the transparency now of really navigating the not so great and then in hopes to make those advancements within that because nobody wants to see the music and entertainment industry disappear. it's more about how it does one then work alongside in order to ensure an absolute safe space for all and everybody involved. and absolute safe space for all and everybody involved.— absolute safe space for all and everybody involved. and to be fair to the x factor _ everybody involved. and to be fair to the x factor then, _ everybody involved. and to be fair to the x factor then, the - everybody involved. and to be fair| to the x factor then, the problems you're talking about and i appreciate the difficulty of talking about some of these areas with the problems you're talking about our once they have been problems across

music, television, film, the attainment world and they are being addressed and they are notjust about the the x factor. addressed and they are not “ust about the the x futonfi about the the x factor. right, exactly and — about the the x factor. right, exactly and so _ about the the x factor. right, exactly and so i'm _ about the the x factor. right, exactly and so i'm excited - about the the x factor. right, exactly and so i'm excited to l about the the x factor. right, - exactly and so i'm excited to share that there are a few other contestants along with myself who are part of a large committee now working alongside the secretary of state at dcms and we really have the intent to safeguard the future generations but then also to provide that comfort with historical contestants or precipitants knowing that their voices have been heard and used for a greater change. and i know it's quite different but in the health and fitness world, one says you cannot build stronger without feeling that essence of touring the muscle fibres. to fuel it with the good stuff to build better. so i guess probably optimistic and i'm

hoping within alongside of all of the hard work and efforts that the minister of state and all of the hands of these governing bodies and industry as a whole are working so hard to change, that we will then be able to enjoy it when it comes to singing and not worry so much as to any potential wrongdoing. just singing and not worry so much as to any potential wrongdoing.— any potential wrongdoing. just one last thought- _ any potential wrongdoing. just one last thought. would _ any potential wrongdoing. just one last thought. would you _ any potential wrongdoing. just one last thought. would you accept - any potential wrongdoing. just one | last thought. would you accept this was probably bringing a lot of pleasure to many people watching and even many of those who took part? in some respects, iwish even many of those who took part? in some respects, i wish that... even many of those who took part? in some respects, iwish that... i even many of those who took part? in some respects, i wish that... i wish that i could agree and i hope that in future i will be able to. and i'm excited to see with the future holds and i'm very excited for that.

have a look at the weather with helen. hello. we've a stormy evening and night ahead across the south west of england. whilst only thunderstorms further north in the uk will tend to fizzle out in the next few hours. but we have had some around again today. but this is a named storm we're talking about in the southwest approaches. that's unusual at this time of year. of particular concern, though, sleeping out under canvas 01’ in a caravan. it's this rapidly deepening area of low pressure bringing that stormy weather. notjust winds, but some more soaking rains as well, and those will affect many parts, actually, of england and wales as we through the evening and overnight, as you can see. we could have 15—20 mm of rain as that weather front moves through. the winds escalating in southwest approaches first of all, could see gusts in excess of 60 mph, as i say, enough to bring down potentially trees and power lines, it could cause some disruption. by morning, you can see that that rain is affecting many parts of england and wales, whilst the showers have eased in the north, it becomes a little drier. certainly not a cold night for anywhere, and it does look as if we will start with some drier

weather in the north, just rather cloudy and cool across northern scotland. one or two showers here pepping up again and for northern ireland, but around our area of low pressure, our storm across southern areas will see heavier showers breaking out with thunder and lightning. again, some strong winds, even gale force winds around coastal areas in southern and eastern parts as well. not as lively, we think, as those further west to start the day, but unusually strong for this time of year, and the winds should ease down a little bit in the southwest as we get into the afternoon. but the feel of the day will be tempered somewhat compared with today because we've got more cloud around, and those heavy downpours. now, those are all tied in, as i say, with that storm system which moves away for saturday. and then we open up to this northerly wind bringing showers southwards. so northerly wind will make it feel cooler, and temperatures actually will be below average across the northern half of the country in particular. and still with those weather fronts close by for a the north sea coast, the risk of some cloudy periods with some patchy rain. and still in southern areas, there's the energy there for some

heavier showers to break out, so it's not as unsettled, but it's still not dry. and as a say in the north, it will feel quite cool. similar outlook for sunday, really. by the beginning of the week, things may start to calm down a bit more. more detail on that amber warning online.
