good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. there have been tears, hugs and jubilant reunions at uk airports today as family members split across continents by the pandemic have finally been able to meet again. from today, people arriving in the uk from the united states and most of the european union no longer have to self—isolate for ten days if they're fully vaccinated, though strict rules still apply for those who've been in france. they'll still have to take a pre—departure covid test and a pcr test within two days of arrival. but the travel industry and some conservative mps are warning that potential plans for an "amber watch list" — that would flag countries at risk of requiring harsher quarantine measures — could worsen the damage already done to the sector. our transport correspondent caroline davies has more.

minister has said he wants a simple system that encourages travel and many of his mps and in the travel business airlines say that this would do the opposite. it would be complicated. the system has already chopped and changed a lot in the last year or so and they say this would deter people from travelling to those countries, so that is one big question. the other question we know is that the french have been lobbying very hard to get the restrictions that have been put on them lifted so that people could travel to france and come back without having to do quarantine and that itself might be the biggest change that they could decide this week. ., , ., ., ., week. damian grammaticas at westminster, _ week. damian grammaticas at westminster, thank _ week. damian grammaticas at westminster, thank you. - the number of daily coronavirus cases has fallen slightly. the latest government figures show there were 21,952 new cases, in the latest 24—hour period — last monday there were almost 25,000. there have been an average of 26,364 new cases per day in the past seven days. 2a deaths were recorded

in the last 2a hours, that's an average of 76 deaths a day in the past week. the number of people in hospital with covid has levelled off atjust under 6,000. more than 88% of uk adults have now had their firstjab and nearly 72.7% are now fully vaccinated. and our health correspondent jim reed is here. let's talk about infection rates which are falling again. there has been lots of speculation about why thatis been lots of speculation about why that is and how reliable those figures are. what is your assessment?— figures are. what is your assessment? ., , assessment? more encouraging news toda aaain assessment? more encouraging news today again about — assessment? more encouraging news today again about the _ assessment? more encouraging news today again about the direction - assessment? more encouraging news today again about the direction of- today again about the direction of this pandemic. back onjuly the 19th, two weeks ago, we had some significant rule changes in england, so called freedom day, allowing nightclubs to reopen, amongst other things. when some other countries lifted restrictions in a similar way they did see quite an increase in infections. it is two weeks on now infections. it is two weeks on now in england and we are not seeing such a similar increase in infections. in fact, as you said,

the number testing positive for covid fell today compared with the last week. one scientist i spoke to just before we came on air said if we were going to see a major problem linked to that lifting of restrictions it is likely we would have seen it by now. so the early signs, they are not definite, but the early signs are pretty positive. well, we will take that! there has been lots of talk about the pingdemic and there were some comments about the covid app. this affects a comments about the covid app. tt 3 affects a particular group of people, who test positive but don't have symptoms, no fever, no headaches or anything like that. it is quite a technical change, they are cutting the number of days that the app calculates that someone might have been infectious. the wider idea is clearly to reduce the overall number being advised, and it is advisory, to stay at home as a result. it applies only to england and wales, this app, scotland and northern ireland have a separate system. northern ireland have a separate s stem. , . , northern ireland have a separate s stem. , ., , . a sprinter from belarus who refused her team's order to fly

home early from the olympics has been granted a humanitarian visa by poland. krystsina tsimanouskaya has taken refuge at the polish embassy in tokyo after saying she feared for her safety if she was sent back to belarus. she had criticised her coaches on social media. rupert wingfield—hayes reports. this was the moment earlier this evening when krystsina tsimanouskaya stepped onto polish soil. safe from the belarusian officials she says were forcing her to leave tokyo against her will. the saga had begun two days earlier with this social media post. next, miss tsimanouskaya was spotted at tokyo's haneda airport about to board a flight to istanbul, but it's very clear she did not want to go. for me it would be really dangerous. the belarusian team says that claim is nonsense, that she was being sent home

because of her emotional and psychological state. but the polish government has decided to believe her story and offer her refuge. what's going on here in tokyo has very much the whiff of history about it, because back in the days of the cold war, olympic defections were a regular event. the last one i can find was in los angeles in 1984. now we have someone defecting from belarus, a country that has been described as the last dictatorship in europe, and she's going to poland, a country that was once part of the soviet bloc and is now very much the opposite. chanting. last year, belarus was rocked by huge protests demanding an end to the 27—year rule of alexander lukashenko. poland was a vocal supporter of these protests. and it is clear today's offer of refuge to miss tsimanouskaya fits in with warsaw's support for the opposition. "every person who cannot return to belarus for political reasons and wants to come to poland can count on our support," the deputy foreign minister says.

"miss tsimanouskaya is under the care of the polish state, she wants to come to poland, we will grant her our support." we will grant her all support." back injapan, there is relief this drama has been resolved so quickly. but with six more days until the olympics close, tokyo must be a little worried that other athletes could be tempted to follow miss tsimanouskaya's lead. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. great britain's equestrians have won gold in the team eventing competition. it's team gb�*s first olympic team victory in eventing since munich 1972. all three british riders were making their games debuts and tom mcewan added an individual silver medal to his haul later on. our sports correspondent, natalie pirks, sent this report from the equestrian centre. for decades, britain has been the team eventing bridesmaid, with a succession of silver and bronze. in tokyo, they finally struck gold. it's the most comprehensive

test of horse and rider. good positioning. these equine triathletes demonstrated finesse in the dressage... picture—perfect so far. ..proved their endurance in the cross country... and through the finish, he comes. ..and, with a commanding lead built, were now looking to be faultless in the showjumping. just one to jump. tom mcewen with a clear round to get the party started. not a foot wrong. eight years ago, laura collett suffered an horrific fall and was in an induced coma, losing sight in one eye. she was giving it everything to become the olympic champion here. and with only one fence down, it left the best event rider in the world, oliver townend, with thejob... now bring it home for us, oliver. ..ofjust getting round without drama. yes! 49 years, great britain have waited for their eventing gold medal! - unreal! it's still not sunk in, but there'll be a big celebration, and i don't think it'll be with a cup of tea and a biscuit!

laughter that's it, then, a gold for great britain — the first time in this event since 1972. but there's no rest for these riders, they've got to go again in the individual event now, and there could be more medals. eventing was originally a cavalry test for officers' charges. with military precision, tom mcewen and horse toledo de kerserjumped all obstacles to perfection. it's oliver townend. only two riders could now deny him gold. one was his team—mate. but oliver townend's individual hopes were dashed by fence two. 0h! a majestic final round from julia krajewski, of germany, saw her become the first woman to ever win eventing individual gold, but mcewen's silver capped an eventful night for britain. i think it's the same with all of us, sort of, we've put in many, many hours from children to where we are now and, actually, it's all paying off, all the work we've put in. gold and silver tonight, then.

that's four medals already for britain's riders. how's that for horse power? natalie pirks, bbc news, tokyo. history was made today at the games. 43—year—old laurel hubbard — who was born biologically male and came out as a trans woman in her 30s — has represented new zealand in the women's super—heavyweight weightlifting competition. hubbard's participation is viewed by some as a landmark moment for inclusivity, but others argue she has an unfair physical advantage. our sports editor, dan roan, reports. it was an appearance that made olympic history — laurel hubbard today becoming the first openly transgender athlete at the games to compete in a different gender category to that which they were born. having lived as a man for more than three decades, and being a promising junior weightlifter, the new zealander transitioned eight years ago. her selection for tokyo was hugely controversial, but she also had backing. when a person is selected into the team, from our point

of view, our culture and our team culture is very much about respecting, about making sure that people are treated well, that they're safe and that they're able to perform to the very best of their ability. but hubbard's much—anticipated appearance was short—lived. .. that's a shame. a disappointing opening attempt. ..failing to record a successful lift in the women's super heavyweight category. i think i was just overwhelmed by the excitement of being on the olympic platform. it's such a truly special place, i think i might have just overcooked it slightly tonight. i'm not sure it's possible for any person to really block out everything that's happening in the world, but you just do what you can and get on with it. laurel hubbard may not have won a medal here today, but this was still a major milestone for trans athletes, and regardless of her performance, she will remain at the very centre of one of the most divisive issues in sport — one that is forcing it to confront the tension between inclusivity and fairness. hubbard qualified after the ioc

changed its rules to allow women to compete if their testosterone levels were below a certain threshold, but critics claim that's unfair and say today sets a precedent that could harm women's sport. i'm not seeking to demonise hubbard. she is there within the rules. however, the science available now shows that male—born athletes, despite transition treatment, retain significant amounts of the male physical advantage which male puberty gives you. the science is fiercely debated, however, and one of those who helped shape the ioc�*s current transgender policy believes the threat to women's sport has been overstated. trans people are only one sixth as likely as cisgender people to go up for organised sports. the idea that this very repressed minority of less than 1% is going to take over women's sports is ludicrous. meanwhile, as the competition

continued without hubbard in tokyo, emily campbell became the first female weightlifter to win an olympic medalfor britain, lifting a total of 283 kilograms to claim silver. i'm just very grateful, i'm very thankful right now, you know. ijust wanted to prove to everybody that, you know, if you work hard and, you know, you work hard for what you want, you can achieve it. and i hope every little boy and girl is watching me today and wants to, you know, go out and achieve their dream. emily campbell! rarely has weightlifting received such attention. this, a historic day for the sport, in more ways than one. dan roan, bbc news, tokyo. america's champion gymnast simone biles will compete in the final of the olympic individual beam competition tomorrow. biles, who's widely considered to be one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, withdrew from the team event and several of the individual finals in tokyo because of mental health issues. let's take a look at the medal table, after ten days of competition.

china are top, with 29 gold medals, the us is second, with japan, the host nation, third. team gb are currently in sixth place, with 11 gold medals, 12 silver and 12 bronze, making a total of 35 medals. the time is 18:20. our top story this evening: there's joyful family reunions, as fully vaccinated people coming from the us and most of the eu no longer have to self—isolate. and coming up: fancy trying your hand at all 96 olympic events? we visit a couple doing just that — for charity. coming up on sportsday, on the bbc news channel: hockey hero maddie hinch saves all four of spain's attempts in the shoot—out, as the defending olympic champions, great britain, reach the semi—finals, where the netherlands await. leading scientists say footballs should carry health

warnings when they are sold. a new report from the university of glasgow shows professionals who play in defence, who tend to head the ball most often, are five times more likely than the general population to develop neuro—degenerative disease. our health editor, hugh pym, reports. how safe is repeated heading for elite—level footballers? questions are increasing and concerns are growing. now a new study, funded by the football authorities in england, has identified higher health risks linked to head injuries. the research team was led by professor willie stewart, a brain expert, interviewed in a bbc documentary by alan shearer. even when they've got dementia, there are very limited clues we have that allow us to say what kind of dementia they might have had. he argues that the game has to change. really, just eliminating risk of head impacts is all we would propose that would reduce the risk. and i think that means

football has to consider, can the game of football be played without head impact, without heading, even at some level? maybe at amateur and youth level, can we think of a game without heading? he even argues that footballs on sale should carry a health warning about the risks of repeated heading. so, what are the main findings of the research? well, the study suggests that former professional footballers have a three—and—a—half times greater risk of developing brain disorders like dementia than the population as a whole. for defenders, who tend to head the ball most often, it's a five—times greater risk. but for goalkeepers, who rarely head the ball, the risk is broadly similar to the general population. commentator: astle nodding it on. jeff astle, who played for west brom and england, died nearly 20 years ago. a coroner ruled he had a brain condition linked to heading. his daughter dawn has campaigned for greater recognition of the dangers, and she welcomed the new study. football, you know,

to millions and millions of people around the world, including me, is a much—loved sport. but for my dad and for all these other professionals, it wasjust theirjob, and they should be afforded the same protection from known risks as anybody else in any otherjob. the football association said new guidelines limiting heading in training in england would take effect soon. heading for youth teams has already been restricted in each of the uk's nations. but the new report may well fuel demands for further action. hugh pym, bbc news. police in south wales have named a five—year—old boy who was found dead in a river at the weekend. the body of logan mwangi — also known as logan williamson — was discovered in bridgend on saturday morning. a man, a woman and a 13—year—old boy are being questioned, on suspicion of murder. hywel griffith reports from bridgend. struggling to comprehend how a young life could end here, the friends and neighbours

of logan mwangi brought teddies and tributes. the five year old was a happy, friendly little boy. neighbours say he was always smiling. he used to visit ian and jasmine's garden. they remember him being full of laughter. always a smile on his face, laughing, giggling. every time he walked past... just can't believe it. didn't have a bad bone in his body. just shocked, the community's shocked. everybody's shocked by the sadness of the loss of logan. itjust makes you want to hold your children so tight and not let them... not let them go. he was a five—year—old lad, you know. divers have been searching the riverbed where his body was found. the police were first called early on saturday, after reports that logan was missing. he was found here, shortly afterwards. then on sunday night, detectives announced that his death was being treated as a murder — arresting a 39—year—old man, a 30—year—old woman and a 13—year—old boy, who all remain in custody. this house, around 100 metres from the river, has become the centre

of the police investigation. forensic teams have been moving in and out all day, while other officers go from door to door, speaking to the neighbours. with so many questions unanswered, the police have asked people not to speculate on social media over logan's death, as this community deals with the shock and grief of losing someone so young. hywel griffith, bbc news, bridgend. let's take a brief look at some of today's other news. an inquest has heard a convicted prisoner was released despite holding extremist views. he was shot dead by surveillance officers seconds after the attack in streatham last year. both his victims survived. a west midlands police officer has been found guilty of carrying out assaults on two black members of the public. ajudge has ruled pc declanjones acted unlawfully on two separate occasions when he wrongly suspected two different victims

of committing crimes. neither had resisted arrest. borisjohnson says iran must face consequences, after a drone attack killed a briton and a romanian on—board a merchant tanker last week. meanwhile, the iranian government called the claims "baseless and provocative". the israeli—owned mt mercer street was attacked off oman on thursday. the european union has sent assistance to turkey, after it asked for help in fighting wildfires raging in villages and towns along its mediterranean and aegean coast. eight people have been killed in hundreds of blazes which have destroyed huge swathes of forest and are threatening tourist resorts including marmaris and bodrum. scotland's most senior muslim politician has lodged a complaint against a nursery, alleging it discriminated against his two—year—old daughter. humza yousaf, the scottish health secretary, says that after his two year old was refused a place, a white friend put in an application and it was accepted within 24 hours. the nursery strongly denies

all claims of discrimination. our correspondent alexandra mackenzie, is in glasgow, tell us more. well, humza yousaf and his wife say that they tried twice to get their daughter into the little scholars nursery near dundee and were told there just were no places available. but mr yousaf said that when a white friend applied, they were offered a place. they said their two—year—old daughter had been discriminated against and they wanted to test this out. so they applied again with another two names, one of them a muslim name and humza yousaf said that this application was rejected. and the other was offered a place. he said a newspaper reporter then put in two fake applications, one

for an applicant that was rejected and somebody called susan blake was given a place. we have had a statement from little scholars nursery, they say that any claim that it was not open and inclusive to all was false. they say the owners were of asian heritage and it welcomed all children and staff from a range of backgrounds, including the currently two muslim families. alexander in glasgow, thank you. —— alexandra. now, while the games in tokyo are reserved for athletes at the pinnacle of their sport, one couple from oxfordshire are aiming for a gold for effort, if not achievement. they are trying to complete every one of the 96 events in 17 days — most of which they've never tried before. they're doing it all to raise money for a charity close to their hearts. andrew plant has the story. go! they've gone from cycling to synchronised swimming, tried their hands at taekwondo. in fact, they're not missing out a single olympic sport.

it was trampolining today, then triathlon tomorrow. their olympic timetable has almost 50 sports, most of which, they've never even tried until now. what's been the hardest one for you so far? this! and bouncing with a back injury isn't helping. have you ever been on a trampoline before? this is my second time ever, and i'm pretty confident to say it will be my second and last. so, we absolutely hated the 50k walk. it was really hard. and i did not like the windsurfing because i have a massive fish phobia and it was on a fishing lake, and it was alljust very traumatic. and i've absolutely loved trampolining, that was brilliant, loved the rowing. there are so many things that have been great fun. it's all in the race for donations for the motor neurone disease association. the charity which supported stuart's brother spencer, who passed away from the illness. he was 49, he had two boys

who were four and seven who he loved unconditionally, as all dads do. he wanted his legacy to be that we would keep raising money and awareness, and we will do that. 60 events down. still more than 30 to go. tomorrow, they'll also take on the 100 metres. aiming for a time under 20 seconds. congratulations. thank you. so, no world records being broken, but they've already won the silver and gold for effort. andrew plant, bbc news. good on them! i particularly like the rhythmic gymnastics! i particularly like the rhythmic gymnastics! time for a look at the weather. last month's heatwave took it to the joint fifth hottest month on record. the isle of wight had its wettest

july in 100 years and today, the rain has been bouncing off the ground again with reports of over 100 millimetres of rain today, torrential downpour this morning, that cleared away but you see the storms elsewhere through parts of england and is, really coming down in herefordshire, shropshire, somerset and storms nadia el—nakla here may cause flooding if they haven't already before gradually fading into the night. rain in northern ireland dying out, most places drive for the second half of the night and away from the city centres, dipping down into single figures. early rain affecting the isles of scilly and cornwall, a greater chance tomorrow of catching a shower in scotland, those most won't, a brighter day in northern ireland with a shower possible later. for england and wales, most staying dry with sunny spells, but slow moving and torrential thundery downpours that could bring some flooding and slowly fading as we get on into tuesday night. for wednesday, the focus of the heavy showers will be across northern

areas and northern ireland, northern
