nbc's janice mackey friar reports from japan. >> reporter: the decision to allow gymnastic fans at theyo olympics is boosting certainty the games will go ahead. months ago, it was determined that foreign visitors could not attend, but now domestic fans will be allowed in small numbers. officials say the upper limit is 50% at most venues to a maximum of 10,000 people. but these plans could be changed or scrapped all together if another state of emergency is required to bring covid under control. the decision contradicts the advice of japan's top medical adviser, who said the safest way to pull off the games would be to have no fans. and most japanese are opposed to hosting the games at all. but officials and organizers say it's important for athletes to have spectators watching live. there will be other restrictions in place with a little over a month to go before the opening ceremony. janice mackey fraye reshgs, nbc news. >> the opening ceremony happens just over a month from now on july 23rd. >>> all right. time to get a look at that forecast. olympic-like wlt here when i'm saying up

mackey was, of course, joking by calling his experience in public history a checkered past, but i think there does exist unfortunately a divide between academic and public history, which tends to undervalue public history. abraham lincoln is our most beloved president, and millions of people each year are drawn to the various lincoln sites across the country just as they are drawn here to ford's theatre or to the lincoln memorial. they flock to these sites because they want to learn about the man and his times in ways you can't always get from a book. they want to walk where lincoln walked, see what he saw, and they want to draw inspiration from his life and legacy through those tangible experiences. for me, mackey's dissertation offered the historic context and analysis to explain how that power works. congratulations to dr. thomas mackey for his work, and thank you for all of your support of the abraham lincoln institute, which helps make the hey nick ole dissertation award possible. so on behalf of the ali and the committee from the abraham lincoln association, thank you very much.
