i've been waiting five months for this and ijust hope - they can sort my chest out. really, really confusing, and a — a real battle. and, um, one that is hard to fight when you�*re sick. while i�*ve been stuck at home, i�*ve been looking into where long covid clinics are available. there are 89 in england. some only accept patients who�*ve been hospitalised. and there can be long waiting times. nhs england says it�*s invested more than £134 million in long covid services. neither scotland nor wales have specialised clinics. both say they are strengthening existing services. scotland is funding research. northern ireland�*s first clinics will open in october. i�*m going to edinburgh tomorrow to get a brain scan. which is slightly daunting. but i�*m part of a study looking at impact on brain of long covid. so, i guess i�*m feeling a bit nervous about that, hoping that they don�*t find any problem. researchers at edinburgh university are scanning the brains of 100 people with long covid. i suffer migraines, vertigo and brain fog. could these be signs of brain damage? ca

encouraging and i think provide an example of real—world experimental research which can give us guidance of the other harms ijustg and what this trial suggests — it has weaknesses as all studies do but what it suggests is that the alternative of regular daily testing for at least seven days instead of isolation of contacts could be a viable way forward for schools. it will now be discussed by governments. i would suspect this may provide a model as we look ahead to schools we starting later this year. why limited to schools, though? why not wider society? there are other studies under way. i suppose, first of all, the government has already made that decision for some categories of employees that they won't have to self—isolate if they have had the vaccines and participate in testing, which is good and we are seeing that in practice but there are other discussions going on in community and workplace settings to look at exactly this issue but i think we cannot continue in the future where actually the risk of picking up covid—19 if you are the contact of a positive case is definitely there but you can see from th

it is an art film, i think it takes its time and ijust think cannes is a perfect place for a movie like that. i feel like people... the audience here canmaking. but after the 0scar—win of parasite, a us audience is now far more open to less mainstreamed subtitled stories. prometheus actress noomi rapace stars in lamb, an icelandic thriller with a much talked about twist that was immediately slapped up for release in the united states. i definitely think we will see different kinds of films, so i feel like there's a wave of films now coming from a place, maybe that's really personal and with a rawness and realness and maybe a desperate need to communicate something and we can't really take things for granted as we used to do. we can't really take things for granted as we used to do. no one is taking for granted either that the days of the film spectaculars only hollywood can afford to put on will return to cannes even next year. but at least this year a start was made. cannes made a big effort to go green this year to reduce the festival's carbon footprint and introduce a new section of the films devoted to climate change and the enviro

i was just really focusing on my dive, and ijust think to swim well and to enjoy my dive more than i canother world record? what is that? yes, iam yes, i am going for another one. the last one was in 2019. then the pandemic came, it has been impossible to compete for two years, so i am very excited to dive tomorrow and to do my best. and what is the attraction of constant no—fin diving? for someone who has never done it, where does the real adrenaline rush come from, this particular type of freediving? it's the hardest discipline because you are swimming just with your hands and your legs. you can touch the rope just once, when you are on the bottom. so you need good technique and you need really good focus. and you need to feel the water more than you can to enjoy the dive. it's really the hardest one. i like much more mono—fin, because it is more relaxed. a dream that has now come true from 13 years old, 16 years later. a reminder of our breaking news this hour — officials in tokyo have confirmed the first case of coronavirus in the olympic village. they've refused to reveal the nation

ijust hope that it will show the countries back home that a normal kid from a normal comprehensive secondary school 18 years later canis weeding out the team at an olympic games. —— leading out the team. andy murray was the team gb flag bearer in rio five years ago, when he went on to win the gold medal. he's been talking today about the covid situation in tokyo, after shooter amber hill was forced to pull out following a positive test. 12 new cases have been identified at the games, including two unnamed athletes in the olympic village. it takes the total number of olympic—related cases to 87. murray says he and the rest of the team are wary of the dangers. if you've been preparing for something for five years and something for five years and something like that was to happen to you, it would be brutal. i think there is a little bit more anxiousness, which is understandable. but from what i have seen everyone is sort of taking the protocols and measures in place here seriously. hopefully there will not be too many more issues. the men's football tournament is now underway, and mexico have thrashed france 4—1. the pi
