alongside rockledge and his team—mate egan bernal, who we might have to support at the battle to come over the next three weeks —— roglic. nick parrott, bbc news. roger federer revealed last night that heis going to have another knee operation that will keep him out of tennis for "many months". the 20—time grand slam champion says he has to think about his long—term health. it is going to be difficult, of course, in some ways, but at the same time i know it is the right you because i want to... i want to return to the tort and chum shape orform. i am realistic, don't get me wrong, i know how difficult it is to have another surgery and try it at this age, but, look, iwant to another surgery and try it at this age, but, look, i want to be healthy and i will go through the rehab process, with the goal, while staying active, which would help me during this long period of time. let's get more on this with george bellshaw,

tennis correspondent for the metro newspaper. evening to you, george. he turned a0 last week. this is no way to celebrate, is it? at that age, he is a freak of nature, his longevity and what have you, but can you see him if he gets back fit and well competing at the top again after this latest knee surgery? figs competing at the top again after this latest knee surgery? as you sa , this latest knee surgery? as you say. roger _ this latest knee surgery? as you say. roger is — this latest knee surgery? as you say. roger is a _ this latest knee surgery? as you say, roger is a pretty _ this latest knee surgery? as you | say, roger is a pretty exceptional athlete, a wonderful, wonderfully naturally gifted tennis player who does plenty of think to surprise us. reaching the quarterfinals of wimbledon, given the context of what has followed, looks like a pretty incredible achievement, we own a difficult it is to perform a top—level support. —— we all know how difficult it is. but, yes, it looks like this could be a bridge too farfor him, even if he does get back, it sounds like it is not going to before the end of this year, so that's another six months on perhaps, and realistically it will be in about two and half years since

he has been playing regularly given the other knee surgeries he has been through, so, yeah, it is going to be a really, really tough challenge for him to come back and perform at the top level. i kind of see him maybe taking on more of a kind of exhibition stands going forward, he had been doing his trips to play one—off matches in countries where the regular towards not go often. you might make a brief return to the tour, but i think... i it you might make a brief return to the tour, but i think...— tour, but i think... i it is a sad ending if— tour, but i think... i it is a sad ending if it— tour, but i think... i it is a sad ending if it is _ tour, but i think... i it is a sad ending if it is the _ tour, but i think... i it is a sad ending if it is the end - tour, but i think... i it is a sad ending if it is the end of - tour, but i think... i it is a sad ending if it is the end of an . tour, but i think... i it is a sad i ending if it is the end of an era, and the end of an era, it would be. we kind of root off andy murray when he had two hip operations will set the —— operations. the desire got him back, but i wonder if that will be enough roger federer, whether he would have to win to enjoy it. i think murray is another great example. these guys have got nothing left to prove at the top of the game, and i think it does boil down to, a, the love of the sport, the

recognition it has given them so much, and they want to kind of keep giving back. competitive guys. they want to win full by the get is really hard for athletes to walk away from something they have done their whole life! i think it is really hard. these guys are extremely excellent. i think it will be tougher roger to walk away, but he has got nothing to prove to anyone, he has been one of the great athletes, notjust within tennis but wider sport and perhaps even further beyond the last 20 years, and he will be greatly missed if this is the end, but as you always say with these guys, you can never completely roll out some fantastical return. i think in his a0s, anything, even getting back now, would be a really great achievement from federer, and another want to add to a list of already glittering achievements throughout his career. wouldn't it “ust? throughout his career. wouldn't it just? george _ throughout his career. wouldn't it just? george bellshaw, _ throughout his career. wouldn't it just? george bellshaw, thank- throughout his career. wouldn't it just? george bellshaw, thank you very much indeed from the metro.

this exclusive report for steel posts holding up the roof on a children's ward, on a maternity unit, where mothers lie with new babies. seven hospitals in england, all constructed with a type of lightweight concrete. but it is failing and all need to be rebuilt. so we are currently on one of our service corridors. what you can see above you as a latticework of structural timbers. should a plank fall, they will cradle them and support them. the west suffolk hospital was built with concrete rack planks. they were never meant to last and are 15 years beyond their expected life span. the trust's risk assessment is clear — without the safety measures, the threat of planks failing is immediate. but they will take two years to install, so they have commissioned a corporate manslaughter report in case anything goes wrong. the situation we are facing, it is unprecedented. why would you describe it as being unprecedented? no one is clear the way in which this structure will perform

as it gets to that kind of age. documents obtained by bbc look east show last year, trusts in the east took part in exercise hodges. it simulated a scenario in which part of the hospital collapsed because of concrete planks failing. at west suffolk, all the external walls are made of rack. the technical briefing states that now, nearly all of the wall planks have some corrosion, with a risk of severe corrosion in two thirds. and how much do these planks weigh? broadly, they are about a third of a tonne. so that is why it is so important to make sure that this support is in place? it is, yes. a new west suffolk hospital could be nine years away. seven hospitals across the country need rebuilding because of crumbling concrete. airedale in west yorkshire has no guarantee of funding. nor does hinchingbrooke in cambridgeshire, where the ageing building is causing major issues. the concrete panelling is also affecting the load bearing

on some of the floors, which means that patients heavier than 19 stone can't be operated on in some of the theatres. shutting some of the hospitals to do the repairs quicker was considered. if we were to close a hospital then the burden would fall on those neighbouring hospitals and the nhs as a whole is going through a time when we are extremely busy. thousands of emergency beds would be lost if all seven hospitals closed for repairs. nhs england says trusts are maintaining a safe service for patients, who should access hospital care as they normally would. nikki fox, bbc news.

israel's health care system will reach capacity within weeks if the current rise in covid cases continues — that's what experts are warning, as the country introduces new restrictions on entry. israel was the first country in the world to offer vaccines to its residents. jenny hill reports. in the oblivion of intensive care, the brutal reality of what this virus can do. how old is this lady? she's 59. this is a hospital in tel aviv. staff tell us they are already battling a fourth wave, and it's going to get worse. they are doing what they can, expanding the number of beds in the unit, but the number of hospitalisations, people falling seriously ill, is rising fast. it's the same across the country. and suddenly, the immediacy of the problem becomes clear. even as we film, the doctor in charge gets a call. there is a patient, three vaccinations, covid positive, with acute respiratory failure.

with covid. it's the second patient in the hospital today who now needs intensive care, but there is only one bed free. i'm afraid the numbers will go up. and i know that i will have to take hard decisions, whom to get into intensive care and whom not. i was afraid of it, all the three waves that we had, we took those decisions. so, what's gone wrong for israel? this, after all, was the first country in the world to offer a vaccine to every resident. but cases are rising, the government reimposing restrictions, even considering a lockdown. one thing that went wrong is just biology, which is the delta variant. but then i think the other thing that went wrong is the slight euphoria that we had thinking that this is over, and not going after vaccinating

those who were not vaccinated. israel is now banking on a third dose of vaccine, opening up centres like this to roll it out fast. we're not sure how well we are doing. because this will take another week or two to get the figures, those who have had the third jab. the question is, is this third jab able to protect the people from getting infected and to have symptomatic disease? we are still out on that. no guarantees, little optimism on these wards. for israel, this isn't so much about the rising case numbers, it's about what's happening in units like this all over the country. this is what will determine what israel does next. jenny hill, bbc news, tel aviv. now it's time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. hello there. even where we've seen some sunshine today, it's not felt particularly warm

thanks to that northwesterly wind. and it remains on the cool side through the rest of this week, a lot of cloud coming our way, the chance of a bit more rain and drizzle as well. and after some sunshine for eastern areas this evening, overnight, we're going to find the cloud coming back in again from the west, thickening up, a bit more rain and drizzle on the way overnight and some mist and some hill fog in the west as well. mild night with that increasing cloud, milder than it was last night in the northeast of scotland. it starts quite cloudy for most of us, i think, during tuesday, and we've got this rain and drizzle around. the worst of it tending to push away during the morning, but still some damp weather here and there in the afternoon. it will brighten up a bit across the west country and eastern parts of scotland are bit more sheltered from that northwesterly wind that's still going to be blowing during tomorrow. that will make it feel on the cool side, especially under the cloud, where temperatures will be 17 or 18 degrees. get some sunshine and temperatures could reach 21 celsius.
