british airlines call for clarity after being told that the government will bring in a 14—day quarantine for passengers arriving to the uk. the new restriction is expected to take effect of this month to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

ministers pledge to put cycling and walking at the heart of plans in england to get people back to work. navigating a way out of lockdown — how denmark seems to be finding a balance. # wop—bop—a—loo—mop alop—bom—bom. # tutti frutti, oh rutti. and the pioneer of rock ‘n‘ roll, little richard dies aged 87. good evening. airlines in the uk say they have been told the government will bring in a 14—day quarantine for anyone arriving from any country apart from the republic of ireland in response to the coronavirus pandemic. the new restriction is expected to take effect at the end of this month. the transport secretary

did not confirm the plans, but said it now "makes sense to look at what happens at the borders." the proposal has been described by regional airports as a "devastating blow", as our business correspondent katy austin reports. when passengers returned to the uk's near empty airports, how different will travel be? some other countries have already introduced quarantine procedures. sophie and herfamily went to australia in march for a wedding. on arrival, they had to self—isolate for m days. while she understands the reasons, sophie would be reluctant to repeat the process. if it wasjust would be reluctant to repeat the process. if it was just for a holiday, i wouldn't because two weeks is a long time to be unable to leave your house, especially with kids. the uk aviation industry is reeling from a huge drop in travel. the group representing uk—based airlines says quarantine measures

here would be a further blow.“ this is the scientific advice, then we will accept that. the health and safety of our passengers is paramount. but this will have a significant impact on our sector and nobody will want to travel if they have to go into quarantine for m days. a conference call between the aviation minister and airline and airport representatives is expected to ta ke airport representatives is expected to take place tomorrow to discuss more detail. key questions remain unanswered. for example, how long would restrictions last? would they apply to passengers arriving by sea as well, for example on cruises? what about the details of where people would need to stay while they isolated, and why would the uk introduced quarantine now and not before? and today's downing street briefing, the transport secretary said people from specific areas or countries only had been quarantined earlier this year. but now we have a situation where as we get the our number, the reproduction number, down in the uk and we begin to get

things under control and we now have the capacity, as we just discussed, in testing as well, it makes sense to look at what happens at the borders. i can't confirm, you will have to wait for the prime minister tomorrow night. meanwhile, businesses including those in aviation, hope to hear in coming days whether the popular but expensive furlough scheme could be extended beyond june in some form. some help on a long path back to normality. katy austin, bbc news. the transport secretary, grant shapps, has called on people to walk and cycle to work once the lockdown restrictions are eased in england — describing the lockdown as a "once—in—a—generation opportunity" to transform the way people get around. mr shapps pledged £2 billion from a fund announced in february that could see new bike lanes in england within weeks. our chief environment correspondent justin rowlatt reports. travel is lockdown is lifted is a big challenge for the government.

the social distancing rules mean buses and trains can carry far fewer passengers. if people take to their ca rs passengers. if people take to their cars instead, the roads will be choked with traffic. that is why transport secretary grant shapps today announced a £250 million for english local authorities to widen pavements and in—store pop—up bike lanes as quickly as possible. let me give you an idea of how our streets might look if these changes become permanent. i am might look if these changes become permanent. iam in might look if these changes become permanent. i am in waltham forest. they have invested a lot in this kind of thing. look at the way the pavement merges into the road. the idea is, it gives pedestrians and cyclists a sense of freedom to move around. you see cyclists a sense of freedom to move around. you see new cyclists a sense of freedom to move around. you see new kinds of street furniture, i think it is called. benches like this, you see the planter with trees and a bike path. the idea is that we can all move more freely through the space because there aren't as many cars and lorries coming through. but what about motorists? they have rights too, and many people will feel more

secure from the virus in their vehicles. so what does britain's guest motoring association have to say about this? contrary to what people say, all our polls actually show that drivers are going to drive less have lockdown. 36% are going to cycle, walk or run more. so we do need radical measures to stop good luck because public transport will not be able to cope. there will be a voucher scheme so people can have their bikes repaired and in the longer term, a national cycling commissioner will be appointed. campaigners hope these changes will be locked in for good. it is a big thing of reallocating space in the longer term and creating cities and towns and roads and streets around the country that make walking and cycling are safe and attractive opportunity. there have been huge improvements in air quality in britain's towns and cities during lockdown. mr shapps says he hopes we will use the opportunity it has

provided to find cleaner, greener and healthier ways to get around. justin rowlatt, bbc news, waltham forest. our political correspondent ben wright is here. there is a major address by the prime minister tomorrow evening on easing lockdown. what can we expect? well, we have known about this address to the country for a number of days and spac nation about its content is yelling out all over the place. ministers have been consistent in recent days —— speculation has been all over the place. change is likely to be small, modest and incremental, similar to the moves we have seen in wales in the moves we have seen in wales in the last 2a hours. this afternoon grant shapps said there needed to be extreme caution in doing anything around the lockdown and said there would be no single leapt to freedom from coronavirus because of course, the death toll now in the uk is now more than 31,000. the virus continues to spread. at the same time, there is a sense today of people being out and about in high numbers enjoying the sunshine.

people want to know where this is going next and that is what boris johnson will try and address. people also want to know when schools might go back, when they can visit relatives, when shops can reopen. we are not going to see any dates tomorrow, nothing that specific, but borisjohnson will try tomorrow, nothing that specific, but boris johnson will try to tomorrow, nothing that specific, but borisjohnson will try to give a sense of where this journey goes next. our political correspondent ben wright. government guidance for the hospitality industry says that bars, restaurants and cafes must remain closed even as the economy starts to open up. those working in the night time economy say without more financial help thousands of venues will never reopen. our consumer affairs correspondent sarah corker reports. manchester's busy canalside bars during a normal summer, and now. when crowds are the enemy, our social spaces must change. at this gin distillery and restaurant in the city centre, social distancing will mean fewer customers. is that financially viable? could you trade on that? without support, no, we couldn't.

we'd scrape by and it wouldn't pay the rent, so you'd have to talk about renegotiating with your landlord and further loans. so how would somewhere like this eventually reopen? there could be temperature checks at the door, disposable menus, plastic screens at the bar, hand sanitiser on tables. and this is what socially distanced dining could look like, customers and tables more than two metres apart. but for this business, that would also mean 75% fewer customers. and landlords could also ration beer to £2—3 per person beer to £2—3 per person and put a time limit on dining. to stay afloat, the industry wants the furlough scheme extended and rent payments deferred. the night—time economy is going to open last. there have to be more measures put in place to make sure we can get through the next few months because ultimately, if we don't, we're going to see the industry decimated. and it is the fifth biggest industry

in the whole of the uk. 93% of this brewery‘s trade was with pubs. hundreds of kegs of draft beer were thrown away. but they have adapted, now delivering cans direct to people's doors. we're trying to survive along with everybody else, facing the fact that half of our business isn't coming back for six, nine, 12, 18 months. some businesses won't make it. breweries, bars and restaurants are doing all they can to make ends meet. the big unknown is, when they do reopen, will we want to go for a socially distanced drink? sarah corker, bbc news, in manchester. navigating a country out of lockdown appears to pose more challenges than imposing one in the first place. but denmark seems to be making it work. it was one of the first couhas ntries to ease restrictions, after containing the virus early on. so far, they've recorded 522 deaths.

jean mackenzie reports. go on, peer into the future. bank holiday beers, saturday mornings at the nail shop. this is life after lockdown. it's like normal life, almost! it's weird, such a little thing, getting your nails done. how does it feel? i'm so happy! ijust wash my hands and keep my mask on, i feel super comfortable, actually. denmark locked down early, before they'd had a single death, and started reopening after a month. what gave you the confidence to start reopening? we didn't reach the max capacity of our health sector. we had a virus spreading that was slowing down, so this gave us the room for reopening business. though since these rules were relaxed, the infection rate has risen slightly, but not enough to pose a serious threat.

the number of people who are infected is falling and so the reopenings continue, four restaurants in a week. so much of this has been built around trust. the government trusts the people, so it's given them more freedom, and people completely trust the government and its strategy, so they're not afraid to get back on with their lives again. i was surprised, actually, by how much people streamed out and wanted to go out, and as you can see, are out and about, i thought they would be more scared. but people are actually very compliant. as far as we can see, it seems to work. so this here is the antidote, really, to all this. one of 16 new testing centres which are checking people without symptoms so they can return to work. you need to know, essentially, how many are infected and therefore, how well the measures that you introduce in the society, how well do they work and what can

we do in the next step? this new normal feels surprisingly like the old normal. denmark has walked a tightrope to get here. can the uk and others make it across? jean mackenzie, bbc news, copenhagen. the channel islands are marking the 75th anniversary of their liberation in the second world war today. german troops on jersey, guernsey, and their smaller neighbours surrendered a day after winston churchill announced the end of the nazi regime. robert halljoins us from a garden party in st aubin, jersey. yes, scenes like this are being repeated across the channel islands, a determination to mark this date in the calendar despite the limitations of physical distancing. after five yea rs, of physical distancing. after five years, freedom was very important to channel islands, and that story is being repeated down the generations.

singing. this is not how it was meant to be. liberation day 2020 should have been a very public celebration of freedom, but those who were there for that moment in history were forced to remember the past rather closer to home. it's defiance, it's doggedness, we're not going be beaten. you know, we'll survive this. there was joy in the heart of everybody that sailed to guernsey on the destroyer bulldog to bring freedom to the channel islands. when a british task force reached the islands on the morning after ve day, surrender was a formality. dozens of german troops were as hungry as the population they governed for five years. absolutejubilation. we

absolute jubilation. we couldn't believe they were leaving the island at last. the british flag was raised again injersey 75 years on, but this time above a silent square. guernsey's bailiff, the islands‘ civic guernsey‘s bailiff, the islands‘ civic leader, walks learn to lay a wreath at the alan‘s war memorial. and yet the community spirit which saw the island to the occupation is still there, in streets and in gardens. in this street, everybody looks after each other. we all know each other, so we are just celebrating a very special event together. liberation 75 years and will be remembered, but for very different reasons. robert hall, abc news, in the channel islands. the self—proclaimed "architect of rock and roll" richard penniman, better known as little richard, has died. david sillito looks back at his life. # wop—bop—a—loo—mop alop—bom—bom. little richard was a wild, fitting ball of rock and roll energy and he wasn‘t shy about telling the world
