Vaccine take-up is low among pregnant women. And the number of mothers-to-be in hospital with coronavirus has been going up. Dr Mary Ross-Davie from Royal College of Midwives delivers the advice for pregnant women now.
At the Olympics, it’s that time when athletics takes the baton from swimming. We speak to two Team GB legends – marathon queen Paula Radcliffe and Sharron Davies, who’s poolside in Japan – as the medals keep coming.
And it’s a blockbuster weekend of new releases back in the cinema. (Wow, it feels good to say that.) Ali Plumb, the BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra Film Critic, offers us his picks.

It’s all over for the X Factor after 17 years, so we thought we’d get 2017 winners Rak Su to reminisce. As the number of self-isolation pings sent by the NHS Covid-19 app in England and Wales rises to a new record, our technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones is here to tell us what else is going on with NHS apps. And we’re talking about the weather, or more importantly, the climate. A new report says recent weather events are caused by ‘disruptive climate change’ so we asked Professor Liz Bentley - head of the Royal Meteorological Society – to explain what it all means. This Newscast was made by Caitlin Hanrahan with producers Rick Kelsey and Alix Pickles. The editor is Dino Sofos.
