6:03 pm
it's something that i've wanted to do for a long time. i've chased that dream for a long time. i've seen my brother, obviously, achieve it twice, and now i've done it and it feels amazing. introduced to try and improve gender balance, the new mixed team events have been one of the features of the game here in tokyo and britain are certainly enjoying them. team gb swimmers have already had a remarkable olympics, but it got even better in the ax100m mixed medley relay. great britain are going| to win their fourth gold in the swimming pool! anna hopkin sealing a stunning win and new world record after kathleen dawson, adam peaty and james guy had established a lead. this a seventh medal for the team here — one more tomorrow and it will be british swimming's best ever games. dan roan, bbc news, tokyo. britain's fastest ever woman, dina asher—smith, has pulled out of the olympic 200m after revealing she tore her hamstring earlier this month.

the 25—year—old failed to make the 100m final in tokyo — her team mate daryll neita finished eighth in the race. asher—smith spoke of her upset to our sports correspondent natalie pirks. obviously, the competitors... this is for the start, we'll let it go. we'll let the start go and let me cry! the customary smile replaced with tears. the fastest woman in british history had been hiding a secret. dina asher—smith! just five weeks ago, she'd been told there was only a 2% chance she would make it to the start line after a torn hamstring. elaine thompson—herah there is going to win it. elaine thompson—herah there is going to win it. |
6:05 pm
and dina, she'sjust not finishing. she gets out well - and couldn't hang on. after the final and minutes later, the reigning world 200 metres champion confirmed she was after that too but would still run the relay. my idea for this olympic cycle was complete dominance and obviously, ha! didn't manage it this time but, obviously, we have three more years till the next olympics and i know the kind of shape i'm in, i know the calibre of athlete i am and i know how talented i am, so it's frustrating to not be able to put it out when it matters but, at the end of the day, with the cards that i've been given i did very, very well and in no way does this change anything that's going to happen in the future. well, daryll neita might not have been the name everyone�*s lips but making the 100 metre final is a huge achievement. she's the first british woman to do so since 2008. but this would be a tough ask from a field stacked with talent and speed. and it is going to be the defending champion— and it is going to be the defending champion makes— and it is going to be the defending champion makes it _ and it is going to be the defending champion makes it too _ and it is going to be the defending champion makes it too a _ and it is going to be the defending champion makes it too a knit - and it is going to be the defending champion makes it too a knit row! | champion makes it too a knit row! 10.60, _ champion makes it too a knit row! 1060. it— champion makes it too a knit row! 1060. it is— champion makes it too a knit row! 1060. it isan_ champion makes it too a knit row! 10.60, it is an olympic— champion makes it too a knit row! 10.60, it is an olympic record. . champion makes it too a knit row!

6:08 pm
fighting has been raging around three major cities in southern and western afghanistan as the taliban try to seize them from government forces. let's speak to our correspondent, secunder kermani, in the afghan capital kabul. plenty going on. what's the latest at the moment? this plenty going on. what's the latest at the moment?— plenty going on. what's the latest at the moment? this has certainly been serious _ at the moment? this has certainly been serious moment, _ at the moment? this has certainly been serious moment, i _ at the moment? this has certainly been serious moment, i would - at the moment? this has certainlyl been serious moment, i would say, at the moment? this has certainly - been serious moment, i would say, in the weeks and intensified fighting we have been seeing in afghanistan. the taliban already control vast swathes of rural territory. they've captured that in the last couple of months but now they're trying to take their first city and early this evening they announced right into the heart of lashkar gah city, the capital of helmand province but following the arrival of afghan special forces there were heavy clashes and we understand that fairly recently the taliban were false back from the centre of the city. i wasjust
6:09 pm
false back from the centre of the city. i was just talking to one local resident from lashkar gah and he was saying, look, even if the taliban don't manage to capture the city on this occasion this has been a powerful assertion of their strength and he also said that militants had taken up the tarmac positions inside the homes of the number of ordinary families which is, of course, going to make it harderfor the is, of course, going to make it harder for the security forces to dislodge them. as you say, fighting has been raging elsewhere too in and around the city is notably earth herat in the west of the country and kandahar in the south. us air strikes had to be deployed last night to support government efforts in herat despite the fact around 90% of american forces have now been withdrawn from afghanistan. irate of american forces have now been withdrawn from afghanistan. we have been hearing — withdrawn from afghanistan. we have been hearing a _ withdrawn from afghanistan. we have been hearing a lot _ withdrawn from afghanistan. we have been hearing a lot of _ withdrawn from afghanistan. we have been hearing a lot of warnings - withdrawn from afghanistan. we have been hearing a lot of warnings and - been hearing a lot of warnings and concern voiced by international leaders and international organisations about the growing humanitarian crisis in terms of the people fleeing afghanistan. could you update us on that, please? you
6:10 pm
have already _ you update us on that, please? 7m, have already got tens of thousands of people who have been and are actively being displaced by this fighting right now and that's adding to around 300,000 or so who were already displaced even a number of weeks ago. a number of other afghans or many other afghans and planning of at least considering what their options are when it comes to leaving the country. i've been looking at social media group set up by people smugglers offering roots out through iran and into turkey. they're the people smugglers that are operating, those groups are really being inundated with requests by people. the passport office hearing campbell recently has seen large queues as well as many people going there trying to renew their documents in order to apply for legal visas to get out of afghanistan. the fear that many people have is the bet at the end of august when the international military mission in afghanistan formally comes to an end the violence might get even worse.
6:11 pm
that takes us onto our next question which is what hope is there that afghan troops can actually succeed without those international forces beside them?— beside them? look, to be fair to afu han beside them? look, to be fair to afghan forces — beside them? look, to be fair to afghan forces they _ beside them? look, to be fair to afghan forces they have - beside them? look, to be fair to afghan forces they have been i beside them? look, to be fair to afghan forces they have been at| beside them? look, to be fair to . afghan forces they have been at the forefront of the fight against the taliban for a number of years now. international forces have been taliban for a number of years now. internationalforces have been in a more training and advisory role. but us air strikes more training and advisory role. but us airstrikes in more training and advisory role. but us air strikes in particular have always been key in keeping the taliban advance back. we have seen that time and time again when the militants are closing in on the city those us air strikes push them back. there's us air strikes, it seems, after the end of august will not be employed against the taliban. yet again had their own s. it has been very active was of course it won't be the same as having international support so there are concerns about how this afghan government will fare and it seems unfortunately like the
6:12 pm
next few months they could be protected fighting between the government, taliban and the government, taliban and the government full control of a number of cities and, of course, ordinary afghans are going to be cut in the middle of that. the afghans are going to be cut in the middle of that.— afghans are going to be cut in the middle of that. the clinical money, thank ou middle of that. the clinical money, thank you very _ middle of that. the clinical money, thank you very much _ —— thank you very much for that. the latest government figures show there were just over 26,000 new cases, in the latest 24—hour period, meaning an average of 27,464 new cases per day in the past seven days. 71 deaths were recorded in the last 2a hours, that's an average of 70 deaths a day in the past week. the latest figure for number of people in hospital with covid is just below 6,000 — it hasn't been updated from yesterday. more than 88% of uk adults have now had their firstjab and more than 72 72% are now fully vaccinated.

6:17 pm
in april of last year. we are going to stay with that story of the prime minister and his wife carriejohnson announcing that they carrie johnson announcing that they are expecting their second child. first, of course, was last year. announcing the news on instagram, carriejohnson also revealed that she had a miscarriage at the start of the year. she wrote: �*i feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but i've also felt like a bag of nerves.�* carrie johnson's posted on instagram that she's expecting around christmas. remember, she and borisjohnson were married in may in that fairly small and secret ceremony at westminster cathedral. now they're expecting their second child in downing street around christmas time.
6:18 pm
it is pretty rare for prime ministers to have children while they're in office. i think there's only been four in the last 150 years or so, so it is quite a rare thing. but in this post that carriejohnson has put up on her instagram page, she's also revealed that she had a miscarriage at the start of this year. ijust want to read you a particular point of it which she's put up, saying "i feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again, "but i've also felt like a bag of nerves. "fertility issues can be really hard for many people, "particularly when on platforms like instagram it can look like "everything is only ever going well. she goes on to say, "i found it a real comfort to hearfrom people who'd also experienced loss, so i hope that in some very small way sharing this might help others too.". so, happy news for the prime minister and his wife, but also some sadness in that post as well.

6:27 pm
that the government is no longer considering making it compulsory for students to be fully vaccinated against coronavirus to attend lectures in england. ministers had previously refused to rule out a requirement to be double—jabbed on university campuses, and said the decision would be taken in september. our political correspondent pete saull says this comes in the context of the controversial decision to consider so called vaccine passports in other areas. from the end of september, if you want to get into a nightclub, it will be a question of if you're notjabbed — or double—jabbed — you're not coming in. but ministers have been floating other settings where that might be the case, too.
6:28 pm
but ministers have been floating other settings where that might be the case, too. already, for example, it's started to open up international travel for people who have had both jabs, and the idea was that once university students return from their summer break in the autumn, they'll have to have both jabs in order to go to lectures or even stay in halls of residence. that was something they were looking at but i do understand that has been shelved, that particular proposal. meanwhile, the conversations about lots of other things, premier league football, for example, continue. why did they row back, then, on that proposal, that suggestion? i think there were two key reasons. the first being logistics, how could universities police this? and there were potentially some legal questions, too, because when you get an offer of an university place, that is considered to be legally binding. but also i think ministers are keenly aware that unease is growing on the conservative backbenches about this wider issue of vaccine passports. the leader of the house of commons, jacob rees—mogg said last night it wouldn't be the end of the world to have to show proof of vaccination to gain entry to venues, but he also said we should protect our ancient freedoms. and i think that sentiment
6:29 pm
about freedom is one that is shared very widely across the conservative party, and the sense that a lot of people out there might be uneasy about having to show papers to get into anywhere, whether it be the pub, the restaurant, the nightclub, wherever. so i think the government now feeling the heat on this issue now and might ultimately decide the use of vaccine passports won't be as widespread as was thought a couple of months ago. have they laid an alternative for the return to university for students? nothing on that yet? not specifically. initially, they said that decisions would be made about covid certifications in september. testing will clearly be a part of the mix as well. but the hope is by that stage, the case numbers will be down and hopefully things will start to return to normal. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear. hello. it was like being a largely cloudy saturday across the country but there have been some showers around as well. the show us really became quite frequent into the afternoon across central and southern wales, central and southern england and a line to the east of the pennines as well.
6:30 pm
these showers will fade away as we go into the evening and overnight and through tomorrow we will continue to see the threat of showers as this week where the front doddle is its way steadily southward. behind it is introducing cooler, no small difference to the feel of the weather in comparison to northern ireland and northern england but it will be largely fine and dry here and shells will become more fun to eat south of the m4 corridor as we go into the afternoon top temperatures here are 21 degrees but only 12—17 further north. looks likely that monday to tuesday will be a relatively quiet start once we lose early morning rain into the south—east. more wet weather arrives later in the week. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... it's known as super saturday and there was a great start for team
