about those things that might be missed like not noticing when someone stands up after they finished the consultation to leave your room, they wince. that immediately tells you something about their bones or something isn't right. doesn't apply to most cases, but one or two they do. i'm sure it was reading a lot of gps, as well. let's move the front of the independent — a lot of it is health related today. i'll come to you in a moment. . related today. i'll come to you in a moment -— moment. . this is a fact that there is a tsunami _ moment. . this is a fact that there is a tsunami of _ moment. . this is a fact that there is a tsunami of unmet _ moment. . this is a fact that there is a tsunami of unmet need, - moment. . this is a fact that there i is a tsunami of unmet need, also the story— is a tsunami of unmet need, also the story of— is a tsunami of unmet need, also the story of the _ is a tsunami of unmet need, also the story of the fact that the vaccine minister— story of the fact that the vaccine minister has basically not been seen in action— minister has basically not been seen in action at— minister has basically not been seen in action at all over the last few days— in action at all over the last few days but— in action at all over the last few days but which is all very odd because _ days but which is all very odd because when he was in that position. _ because when he was in that position, obviously he's now become education _ position, obviously he's now become education minister recently, and good _ education minister recently, and good for— education minister recently, and good for him, he's done a very good 'ob good for him, he's done a very good

for the first time since the end of lockdown, and whilst the vaccination programme means things look slightly better, the numbers of people who are dying is also increasing. and i think one of the things that we've learned over the past year and a half is that it's no good acting late, which is what the government seems to do quite often. sol late, which is what the government seems to do quite often. so i think it's incredibly concerning, set against this real problem in the nhs that they are still dragging their heels when it comes to their so—called plan b when there is some very, very seemingly straightforward things that really could be done to reduce infection rates to get ahead of this. because it seems like we are consistently behind it — and you look at other countries and think, whilst things have not been perfect, some governments seem to be able to get ahead of this in times in ways that the english government really isn't doing. and i think this is incredibly concerning for a lot of people. d0

paper review, sadly it doesn't, we are out of time. they'll be at 11:30 pm, support and newsday will be with you from the top of the hour. hi there, good evening, i'm chetan pathak with your sports news. we start with scotland, who are into the second stage of the t20 world cup for the first time after comfortably beating hosts oman by eight wickets in their winner—takes—all final match. they're now into the super—12s and will play in the same group as india, new zealand, and pakistan. nesta mcgregor reports. scotland believed winning this game could inspire a new generation. a team unified in their quest for a third victory and unified against discrimination. oman at home wanted a good start — that's easier said than done.

a moment of miscommunication. this run came with just a single run on the board. then those nerves are settled. scotland soon had their revenge. oman bravely fought on, at times hitting and raising the roof. chasing one, two, three, scotland made it look as easy as well, a—b—c. finding the boundary, the captain went big. humongous! scotland eased to the win. and a place in the super twelves alongside cricket's biggest names. mr mcgregor, bbc news,. actually huge. they went to this world cup with high expectations. however, there was very little margin for error going into the

group stages qualify for the super 12. if they lost today, there's a chance they didn't make more than 120, oman would've gone instead of bangladesh. though it was a high—pressure situation, but overjoyed to see the scottish boys get over the line. and bangladesh are also through after beating papua new guinea by 84 runs. skipper mohammed mahmudullah reaching 50 as they set their opponents, who were already eliminated, a target of 182. but papua new guinea didn't get anywhere near that — they were all gone for 97. to football next — where it was a goodnight for the two british clubs in action in the europa league. west ham maintain their unbeaten run, beating genk 3—0. the pick of the goals came from jarrod bowen, coming just 72 seconds after issa diop put them 2—0 up. the hammers sit comfortably at the top of group h. —— west ham sit comfortably. rangers revived their hopes

of reaching the knockout stages of the competition after beating danish side brondby 2—0. leon balogun gave them the lead at ibrox with his first goal for the club before kemar roofe added a second that was orginally ruled out for offside, but was then given by var. tottenham were made to pay for leaving their start players at home, as their under—strength side was beaten in the europa conference league tonight at vitesse arnhem. —— star players. the dutch side winning 1—0 thanks to maximillian wittek, who scored 12 minutes from time. harry kane and son heung—min were amongst the players missing for spurs, who now sit third in their group. and there was disapointment, too, for the former tottenham boss, jose mourinho, who suffered one of the heaviest defeats of his managerial career. for the first time one of his sides conceded six goals, as roma lost 6—1 at norwegian side bodo glimt, who pulled off the surprise result of the night in the conference league.

now premier league managers have been coming out in support of steve bruce, following comments made by the ex—newcastle boss who left his role at st james park by mutual consent yesterday. the 60—year—old suggested that the toll it taken on him and his family meant it might be his lastjob in football. when it gets to an unacceptable level, what i think steve's point was, then someone with the level of respect in the game he's got — for him to say that it must have gone too far, because he's a wise, rounded fella, in his life as well as his career, i think, someone i definitely trust with advice — so if he is saying it, there must be some strength in what his words are. we have to think about one of the most experienced managers in england history is telling you that — you can'tjust ignore that. something that has to change, it has to start to change.

i know what happened in this case because it| happened with me in chelsea, in monaco, something - also in leicester. and i am very close to him, and give support if i can. i great britain have won three medals on day two at the track cycling world championships in roubaix, in france. josie knight, neah evans, megan barker, and katie archibald claimed the final medal of the night for britain. they comfortably beat canada by five—and—a—half seconds to claim bronze in the women's team pursuit. earlier, oliverwood, charlie tanfield, ethan vernon, and ethan hayter won bronze in the men's team pursuit beating the reigning champions denmark by almost two seconds. and it was bronze again in the men's 60—lap scratch race. 22—year—old rhys britton showed his endurance and determination, finishing third behind france's donavan grondin and belgium's tuur dens.

and in tennis — andy murray's been knocked out in the second round of the european open in antwerp. he lost to second seed diego schwartzman 6—4 7—6. the world number 14 came from 4—1 down to take the first set, before winning a tight battle in the second. and that's all for me and the team at the bbc sport centre. goodnight. good evening. after the deluge many of us saw last night, today turned into a drier, brighter, but colder day of weather, with a scattering of showers. and as we go through this evening and tonight, we will see more of those showers pushing southwards, with some extra cloud as well. the clearest of the skies likely to remain down towards the south east. that's where we'll see the lowest of the temperatures. maybe down to two degrees in some spots in the countryside. tomorrow, then, we will see quite a lot of cloud in the mix. that cloud producing some showers at times. the showers becoming fewer and further between by the afternoon,

with the best of the sunshine up towards the north east of scotland. but some sunny spells developing elsewhere. it will be a relatively windy day, but those winds slowly easing a little as the afternoon wears on. top temperatures still struggling for some, 8—9 celsius towards the north east of scotland. maybe 13—14 down towards the south and the west of the uk. into the weekend, it is going to turn a little bit milder, but we will see cloud and some outbreaks of rain at times, particularly in the west. it will also be quite windy.
