11:38 pm
than _ definitely see it as a stick rather than a _ definitely see it as a stick rather than a carrot.— definitely see it as a stick rather than a carrot. ., ., than a carrot. 0k, fair enough. the oint than a carrot. 0k, fair enough. the point making _ than a carrot. 0k, fair enough. the point making a _ than a carrot. 0k, fair enough. the point making a vaccinated - than a carrot. 0k, fair enough. the point making a vaccinated holiday | point making a vaccinated holiday exited to avoid new research is on travel to spain so those who have not been vaccinated might suddenly find they cannot go to some of these places that are going to remain open for those who have been vaccinated. interesting you said you were a bit of a clever or have been, have you been clubbing since freedom that? i have not but i am due to go clubbing tomorrow _ have not but i am due to go clubbing tomorrow. , ., tomorrow. right, next time you were on we will have _ tomorrow. right, next time you were on we will have to _ tomorrow. right, next time you were on we will have to ask— tomorrow. right, next time you were on we will have to ask you _ tomorrow. right, next time you were on we will have to ask you what - tomorrow. right, next time you were on we will have to ask you what it - on we will have to ask you what it was like. many people are intrigued about how different it is going to seem and how different people might behave after the pandemic than they did in the club beforehand. we will pick your brain about that in due course. giles, i don't know if you have been clubbing in the last few weeks but what do you make of this get jabbed weeks but what do you make of this getjabbed or miss out approach to young people? getjabbed or miss out approach to young neonate?— getjabbed or miss out approach to young people?— young people? yeah, i have been clubbin: young people? yeah, i have been clubbing but _ young people? yeah, i have been clubbing but i _ young people? yeah, i have been clubbing but i have _ young people? yeah, i have been clubbing but i have nothing - young people? yeah, i have been clubbing but i have nothing to - young people? yeah, i have been| clubbing but i have nothing to add but i have a bit of sympathy with i think we need to get a situation
11:39 pm
where there is this sort of anti—vaccine sentiment going on amongst some part of the population. clearly we need to get back to normality him he cannot be in lockdown forever and many people to actually get the jab so we can kind of move on from that. so i have it sympathy with it, i have to say. he was on then to the daily mail. summer holidays came and never mind what might happen in the future with being vaccinated and going to spank, is what's happening now that is worrying the daily mail. i5 is what's happening now that is worrying the daily mail.- worrying the daily mail. is this whole idea _ worrying the daily mail. is this whole idea that _ worrying the daily mail. is this whole idea that you _ worrying the daily mail. is this whole idea that you and - worrying the daily mail. is this whole idea that you and your | worrying the daily mail. is this - whole idea that you and your summer holiday could be thrown into disarray on the way to spain or italy within putting on the amber or red list so a situation where you are abroad and you have gone abroad and him and get up in the government and him and get up in the government and then come back and you have to quarantine and you face having to pay an amount close to £1750 also could be in some cases more. so
11:40 pm
obviously a nightmare and i spectrum of people it will reinforce the idea of people it will reinforce the idea ofjust of people it will reinforce the idea of just actually of people it will reinforce the idea ofjust actually going for staycation which good for the uk tour industry which needs a shot in the i but you feel for the travel sector. they are really struggling to get back on their feet. i go sector. they are really struggling to get back on their feet.- sector. they are really struggling to get back on their feet. i go to a cafe where _ to get back on their feet. i go to a cafe where one _ to get back on their feet. i go to a cafe where one of— to get back on their feet. i go to a cafe where one of the _ to get back on their feet. i go to a cafe where one of the witnesses l cafe where one of the witnesses at the moment is actually an air hostess who is dividing her time between or has been dividing her time between serving coffee at this particular cafe and then being at heathrow airport helping operate the testing system for new arrivals and so on. and she is glad she is doing something in the travel industry but she says let's face it, that's not what i joined she says let's face it, that's not what ijoined airlines to do. and as you say, it is still a period of uncertainty. are you going on or have you been on eight staycation yet, giles? i have you been on eight staycation yet. giles?— yet, giles? i have not gone away. i've not yet, giles? i have not gone away. we not been _ yet, giles? i have not gone away. i've not been abroad _ yet, giles? i have not gone away. i've not been abroad for - yet, giles? i have not gone away.

11:46 pm
think this is as situation also whereby you cannot get a situation whereby you cannot get a situation where we only get 20 covid by getting back to normality but it will come with it some risks. and the reality about how we have to function is not particularly pretty. but this is the world we are now in as opposed to what we want. it certainly is the case of that. let's move on just briefly mentioning the i. the front page of the i which has some great photos there of beth shriver and kye white kim of the bmx winners and hopefully one of our success stories and hopefully will be again in the 100 metre final on saturday, deena asher smith he was running for teams to be. he won't particularly discuss that but i thought it was worth mentioning with
11:47 pm
plenty of olympics news on on the front pages. as the next story, let's look at the front of the times for some families face biggest rise in fuel bills for a decade. why is that? i in fuel bills for a decade. why is that? 4' in fuel bills for a decade. why is that? ~ , in fuel bills for a decade. why is that? 4' , . in fuel bills for a decade. why is that? “ , ~ , in fuel bills for a decade. why is that? ~ , . , ., that? i think it is decided they are auoin to that? i think it is decided they are going to change — that? i think it is decided they are going to change the _ that? i think it is decided they are going to change the cap _ that? i think it is decided they are going to change the cap on - that? i think it is decided they are | going to change the cap on energy bills which could lead to i think it is more than £150 hike. this is part of the government drive to get us to net zero targets in 2050 and try to encourage people to use alternative sources of energy. and obviously we are hosting the cop this year in glasgow and you can see in the big iconic moment they are putting this in the centre of the political agenda. this is obviously quite a controversial and quite polarising issue and you have one tory mp saying this is going to hammer hard—working families so they will be some inherent tension. i think this is more exaggerated now because
11:48 pm
of covid—19. coming at a situation where people have jumped of covid—19. coming at a situation where people havejumped into their finances and very difficult times. we need to look at alternative sources of energy and now hitting about a £160 extra energy bill, the issue there is how can they draw this behavioural change if it feels like we are all behind the curve and if you outlaw diesel cars by 2030 as we have been told to get electric cars but it is happening quite slowly because it is expensive and the infrastructure is not there yet. so tough on the government. difficult and i think of this when i think of the smart metres debate which happened. to be driven by the industry should the consumer pay and who should pay? in the end, the whole thing has not quite been sustained and effective in the by the government had hoped and hoped that we would start to understand our energy more wisely and maybe put the washing machine on it not rather than the middle of the day and all

11:51 pm
after crowdfunding her way to the games, beth shriever won a gold in the women's race. it's britain's first gold in the sport, with shriever beating the winner at the last two olympics to claim the title. and she was met on the finish line by kye white, who just moments earlier had won silver in the men's event. both had to battle back from injuries to get to tokyo. honestly, i'm in shock. like, to even be here is an achievement in itself. to make a final is another achievement in itself. to win a gold medal, honestly, i'm so over the moon. there was more success in the pool as duncan scott won a silver in the men's 200 metres individual medley. it's his third medal of the games, the first british swimmer to do that since 1908. scott delivered team gb�*s sixth medal overall in the pool, finishing behind winner wang shun of china. scott's medal came shortly after luke greenbank won bronze
11:52 pm
in the men's 200—metre backstroke. and there was also a bronze medalfor bryony page in the women's trampoline. she led the competition after her routine, but was pushed down to third as china took gold and silver. there was also a bronze for the men's eight in rowing. but there'll be no medal for team gb�*s women's football team. they've been knocked out after losing 4—3 after extra time to australia in the quarterfinals. ellen white scored all three of team gb�*s goals. they were 2—1 up with a minute to go of normal time, but sam kerr equalised here for australia to force extra time, in which caroline weir saw her penalty saved. it changed the momentum of the game, with two quick goals just after. this 3—2 from mary fowler. kerr then made it 4—2. white made it 4—3 to complete her hattrick, but team gb couldn't find an equaliser and australia through to the last four. so, let's have a look the medals

table heading into day eight. great britain remain sixth overall with six golds. china are top, ahead of hosts japan. ben stokes "will take an indefinite break from all cricket with immediate effect" and has withdrawn from england's test squad for the series against india. that's according to a statement from the england and wales cricket board. earlier, i spoke to our cricket reporter henry morean. they paint the picture, the england and wales cricket board, ofjust how challenging the last 16 months have been for international cricketers. and it's worth remembering that ben stokes plays all formats for england. he plays t20s, one—dayers, test matches, he's been playing in the hundred for the past few weeks for his side the northern superchargers, and being one of the world's best, he's also been playing a lot of franchise cricket around the world. so, he's been a huge amount of time away from home, in quarantine, in various bubbles, and so it has been a time of immense challenge for international athletes and particularly in the world

of cricket that is so relentless. in cricket's hundred competition, southern brave's men have chalked up their first win with a narrow victory over the birmingham phoenix in southampton. liam livingstone starred with the bat for the phoenix, crashing four sixes in his 68 not out. that left the brave chasing 152, and after a quick half century from james vince, they managed to squeeze home with four wickets and just three balls remaining. it's the brave's first win in three games. earlier, danni wyatt hit an unbeaten 69 as southern brave thrashed birmingham phoenix by eight wickets with 18 balls to spare in the women's competition. brave are top of the standings with three wins out of three. some domestic football news for you now, and arsenal have signed england international ben white from brighton for a fee thought to be £50 million. white can play in defence or midfield and was part of the england squad for euro 2020.
11:55 pm
he's completed a medical and signed a long—term deal at the emirates. the amount received by brighton is a club record. full—back trent alexander—arnold has signed a new contract with liverpool until the summer of 2025. the 22—year—old graduated from the club's youth academy and has made 179 appearances since his first—team debut nearly five years ago, winning the champions league and premier league. marcus rashford will have surgery on his shoulder next week. the manchester united and england forward has been troubled by the problem for a number of months. it is thought rashford will be sidelined for around three months. south africa captain siya kolisi has backed up claims about the referee in the first test against the lions made by his director of rugby rassie erasmus. erasmus posted an astonishing hour—long video on social media criticising the australian official who was in charge of the springboks' defeat in cape town to the lions.
11:56 pm
rugby australia said "the attack on nic berry's integrity, character and reputation is unacceptable", but kolisi has now said he didn't feel respected at all and is looking forward to a new game and a new referee in the second test tomorrow. the lions have described it all as a sideshow. we had a good meeting with the referees yesterday, and as ben o'keefe said himself, we're aware there's a lot of stuff out there on social media, but that's not going to affect anything. that's just a sideshow. we had a discussion with the referees, and we realise they have a tough job to do. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the team, that is all your sport for now. goodnight.

well, friday brought quite a nasty spell of weather to some south—western and southern areas of the uk. gale—force winds around coasts briefly. they were very, very strong indeed, brought by storm evert. you can see on the satellite picture here thunderstorms and heavy showers inland, generally a really changeable day, but the weather has now shifted into the southern north sea. it's approaching parts of germany and denmark. behind it, you can see from the motion of the arrows, it's a fairly cool north—northwesterly, so it's going to be a fairly cool day for most of us. really quite nippy, in fact, in the very far north of the country. sunny spells and showers expected. so, let's have a look at the early morning hours. that northerly wind blowing across scotland and along the north sea coast. showers there right from the word go, but i think showers are possible almost anywhere early in the morning, apart
11:58 pm
from the extreme north west of the country here. temperatures a little on the fresh side, around 12—13 degrees in some spots. and then, tomorrow, a pretty cloudy day for many of us, in the morning at least, to start with. then the sunny spells develop, but also the showers, and some of them will be heavy. but also the showers, you can see here in the east of the country and the north, some thunderstorms there, too. showers also breaking out across the south. the best of the weather, i suspect, in the north west of the country, parts of northern ireland, south—western and western scotland and also cornwall, devon and southern wales shouldn't do too bad on saturday. here's a look at sunday's weather map. the weather still coming in from the north. we have a weather front crossing the country. that is expected to bring showers to more southern areas of the uk on sunday. they should be more confined towards the very far south towards the end of the day. that's how the end of the day
11:59 pm
starts, so a little on the chilly side in some areas. those northerly winds, feels quite nippy along the north sea coast, could even be around 1a—15 degrees during the daytime. best spots, i think, in southern wales, maybe northern ireland again, but i think in southern wales and cardiff, up to around 21 degrees or so. so, here's the weekend summary again, and the outlook into next week, not an awful lot changes. there's no warm weather on the way. i think it's going to stay more or less the same, below average and a chance of some showers. and that's it, bye—bye.
