this is bbc news. the latest headlines. more than 50 countries are to be named by the government today, where holidaymakers from england won't have to quarantine when they arrive home. the most important thing is people who were hoping to get away perhaps for a summer holiday will have options, when they see that list. ghislaine maxwell — a longtime friend of prince andrew — has been remanded in custody in the us after being charged with a number of sex offences. the trial of 20 saudi arabian nationals charged in connection with the murder of the journalist, jamal khashoggi, gets under way in turkey.

don't overdo it — borisjohnson warns people to act responsibly when coronavirus restrictions are eased, and pubs open in england tomorrow. and from tomorrow in england — the days of home hairdressing are over, as salons get ready to open up. hello, good morning and welcome to bbc news. get in touch with me on twitter about any of our stories today. the government has confirmed the first four countries where travel restrictions will be relaxed, allowing people to go on holiday. it will mean people in england will not be required to self—isolate for m days when they return from their travels.

ministers have agreed reciprocal agreements with spain, italy, france and germany who will become exempt from the quarantine rule from next friday, 10thjuly. the transport secretary says more than 50 countries will be deemed "low risk" when the full list if published. list is published. the new system will apply to people in england only, with scotland, wales and northern ireland setting out their own approach in the coming days. from tomorrow, the foreign office is changing its travel advice, which has warned against all but essential foreign travel since march. let's get the very latest from andy moore. tomorrow will see major changes to life in england in more ways than one. not only will people be able to go to the pub, they'll also be able to travel to a warm beach overseas, as the government formally lifts its ban on all but essential travel. so, which countries will be open? the first four countries on the list are: germany, france, italy and spain. but it's expected as many

as 70, possibly more, will be named later today. some countries, such as portugal and sweden, where infection rates are thought to be too high, may not be on the list. it's good news that the government is removing its blanket quarantine measures, which have caused so much uproar, frankly, in the travel industry over the last few weeks. it's good news that the foreign office will be removing its non—essential travel advice from this saturday. and it means that many millions of holiday—makers will actually be able to travel, from this saturday, to, certainly those countries you mentioned, spain, italy, france and germany, but also many others, which they're going to unveil in a few hours‘ time. travel agents hope they will soon be able to give their customers clear answers to the questions they've been asking. the clarity that we need is either — yes you can go, or no, you can't go — simple as that. greece won't allow uk holiday—makers in until the middle of this month.

the uk government hopes the countries on its green list will have reciprocal arrangements, so that arriving travellers won't have to self—isolate, but there's no guarantee of that. and this announcement so far only applies to england, with the transport secretary, grant shapps, suggesting delays to the announcement were due to differences with scotland. i think the uk government should spend less time trying to misrepresent and politicise these difficult issues that we are dealing with right now. less time trying to pick pointless fights, so that all of us can just focus on the task at hand. westminster says the devolved governments in scotland, wales and northern ireland will set out their own approaches to foreign travel. so far, we haven't heard what they will be. andy moore, bbc news. our political correspondent, helen catt, is at westminster. good morning, helen. lots of people will be welcoming news of this list

of countries although clearly, the travel sector has been very frustrated by delays in announcing this. what more detail do we actually have from the government, as of right now, this morning? well, we know they are going to split countries into three colours, you heard a bit of that in andy's report, in green, amberand red. the amber category, more than 50 of those will be amber or green and those will be amber or green and those in the amber category, those are the ones with whom we will have what we consider to be a bridges. this is these reciprocal agreements which means british holiday—makers can go on holiday and they would have to —— air bridges. either in that country or when they get back. france, spain, italy and germany are in that category but we don't know who else willjoin them. green countries are ones with a low infection rate than the uk and the government are saying that if you come back from those countries or visitors coming from that country into england, they won't have to quarantine here. but there is no guarantee that you won't quarantine

at their end. new zealand is a good example of that. if you arrive back from new zealand, you won't have to quarantine but if you go there, it is 14 days self isolation required by the new zealand government. if you are planning a holiday, crucially it will be which countries appear on which of those lists. grant shapps, the transport secretary, said overall he believed it was a positive development. the most important thing is that people who were hoping to get away, perhaps for a summer holiday will have options, when they see that list, people who need to travel for business. importantly, also, the aviation industry, who have, of course, been first into this crisis and very slow to come out, as well, because of the need to have things like quarantines of course are welcoming that from the point of view ofjobs and the industry today, as well. helen, i thought, helen, ithought, if helen, i thought, if you would come on the wider easing of restrictions in england, as of this weekend, we are expecting a speech on the prime

minister later when he will urge people to enjoy it but don't overdo it. how concerned do you think the government is right now? of course, lots of people are looking forward to this but it is a moment of potential risk as well, isn't it? to this but it is a moment of potential risk as well, isn't mm is, as you say, a moment of risk. because this is a further unlocking. lots of those industries where people will be in closer contact from tomorrow and from tomorrow is when you are allowed to have another household in your house but still to socially distance. there is a moment of risk. as you said, borisjohnson will address this late at one of those press conferences in downing street and he will reinforce that message of not overdoing it. the government wants to get people out and about, but it wants to avoid that sort of second wave of coronavirus or further lockdown. when borisjohnson coronavirus or further lockdown. when boris johnson speaks coronavirus or further lockdown. when borisjohnson speaks in downing street later at that press conference, he will say that tomorrow is about reporting the livelihoods of businesses and they have made heroic efforts to get ready for the new normal of

coronavirus and anyone who ignores social distancing rules will be letting those businesses down. there has been criticism of the government for allowing particular pubs to reopen on a saturday, on the day that will coincide with american independence day. there has been all that talk of super saturday and freedoms and things like that. this will be an effort to temper that a bit and temper the tone. 0k, helen, thank you very much. let's speak now to our transport correspondent tom burridge. we will refocus on travel abroad. good morning, tom. take us through what the government has said so far this morning, this isn't quite what we we re this morning, this isn't quite what we were expecting? the government is going for a real change of approach in its travel quarantine. over the last almost four weeks, we have had a near blanket travel quarantine. the only country for which people coming from their is exempt is the republic of ireland. it has basically applied to all uk arrivals, two weeks self isolation.

the government is going for a different system. it is one where as holiday—makers and people thinking about potentially booking a holiday this summer, we are thinking about which countries will be exempt, the government is saying that more than 50 countries will be exempt now. really, it will be a system where maybe you could look at the red countries, for example, the united states, the higher risk countries. this is exactly the type of approach that people in the aviation sector and travel sector more broadly have been calling for from the very, very beginning. speaking to people in the travel sector over the last 2a hours when this became clear this was the way the garment was moving, they say this is good news and this will give their customers more certainty to start booking —— the government was moving. but they are really upset with the confusion over the last few weeks and question why the government didn't do this from the very beginning. they don't pretend people would have travelled loads over the last month or so, that was a lwa ys over the last month or so, that was always unlikely, but what they do say is that if the government had

taken this approach, more targeted and nuanced approach, where you only targeted quarantine on high risk countries from the beginning, they feel that would have given consumers more confidence to book trips for later in the summer at an earlier stage. businesses all over the land, travel businesses, are really, really struggling. they have not earned any money during the lockdown, the height of the pandemic. and their cash flows are really poor and they are in dire straits and they need that confidence back. that is something we have heard from multiple guests over the last few weeks and months, tom. we know some countries are definitely offering that reciprocal arrangement, france, italy, spain, germany. there are questions over others. talk to us about the other nations who have yet to announce their plans in this area. is that going to create difficulty? what will stop someone in wales or scotla nd will stop someone in wales or scotland driving to an airport in

england to travel abroad, even though those particular nations haven't announced their plans? again, this highlights, firstly as you alluded to, a metre, some of the loopholes in the quarantine policy. that is not unique to the uk. it is possible that some people could if, and it is a big if, devolved administrations in scotland, northern ireland and wales, deviate from the westminster government will do in terms of the exemptions from the travel quarantine and which countries will be exempt. you could probably get around that. it has been a problem with the quarantine throughout, can it be enforced and can people get around it and are there adequate number of checks being made? you could say, actually, to some extent it is like a lot of things with relation to coronavirus. it relies on the goodwill of people to follow the rules. there has been clear concern, but from the scottish government, and i understand it

relates to certain countries which the uk government has categorised as amber. amber would mean, the uk government has categorised as amber. amberwould mean, in england, that if you come in from those countries, you wouldn't have to self—isolate from the 10th ofjuly, like green countries. but the amber countries, unlike the green countries, unlike the green countries, they are higher risk of a medium risk countries. i think the uk government is still saying they are uk government is still saying they a re low uk government is still saying they are low risk countries, but higher than the green ones. some of those countries are a cause for concern for the scottish government and that is why, so far at least, there hasn't been consensus between westminster and all the devolved administrations on this. they are the real pitfall of this policy, but, again, it is not really, you could say, totally down to the uk government, ultimately, yes, it doesn't mean, in all the cases of all the exemptions, there isn't reciprocity in all of them. the green countries that will be categorised green, basically, they are the lowest risk countries but some of those will still have

restrictions on uk nationals going there because, clearly, the virus is more prevalent here in the uk than in many of those countries. 0k, tom, thank you very much, tom burridge, oui’ thank you very much, tom burridge, our transport correspondent. we'll answer your questions at 9:30 on the changes to travel advice and quarantine rules and what this means for your holiday plans. i'll be joined by two travel experts, wendy haines and jill starley—grainger. get in touch with the hashtag #bbcyourquestions or email yourquestions at bbc.co.uk. we look forward to answering as many of those as possible. us prosecutors say they would welcome the chance to speak to prince andrew after charging his long—time friend ghislaine maxwell with sex offences. she has appeared in court charged with assisting the convicted paedophilejeffrey epstein with his crimes. she denies any wrongdoing. sources close to prince andrew insist he is willing to co—operate with the investigation. neda tawfik has this report.

until now, ghislaine maxwell has remained out of sight, ever since the arrest of sex offender and paedophile jeffrey epstein. as his former girlfriend and closest associate, she is central to the fbi's probe of his sex crimes against underage girls. authorities had been discreetly keeping tabs on her whereabouts for the last year. when they moved in to arrest her on thursday, she was living on a 156—acre property that she bought in cash to shield her identity. we've been discreetly keeping tabs on maxwell's whereabouts as we worked this investigation and, more recently, we learned she'd slithered away to a gorgeous property in new hampshire, continuing to live a life of privilege while her victims live with the trauma inflicted upon them years ago. federal prosecutors in new york have charged her with six criminal counts linked to epstein‘s alleged sex trafficking operation, including enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts and two counts of perjury. they allege the victims were as young as 1a years old

when the crimes took place, between 1994 and 1997. she has previously denied all of the allegations against her. maxwell would discuss sexual topics with the victim and undress in front of the victim, or be present for sex acts involving the minor victims and epstein. maxwell's presence as an adult woman helped put the victims at ease. as maxwell and epstein intended, this grooming process left the minor victims susceptible to sexual abuse. the daughter of the late media magnate robert maxwell is a long—time friend of prince andrew. in this now—infamous photo from 2001, the two are seen with virginia giuffre, who says she was trafficked to maxwell's home in central london to have sex with prince andrew. in an interview with newsnight, which led to his retirement from public duty, prince andrew was asked directly about it. i have no recollection

of ever meeting this lady. none whatsoever. you don't remember meeting her? nope. prince andrew has long denied having sex with underage girls, but prosecutors today reiterated their desire to speak with him. i will say that we would welcome prince andrew coming in to talk with us. we would like to have the benefit of his statement. ghislaine maxwell appeared briefly in court in new hampshire, and remains in custody, but her trial will take place here in new york, where she faces 35 years in prison if convicted. it's a major moment for epstein‘s victims, who have had to relive their trauma in the public eye while fighting for justice for decades. nada tawfik, bbc news new york. the headlines on bbc news... it is 9:16am. more than 50 countries are to be named by the government today, where holiday—makers from england won't have to quarantine when they arrive home. ghislaine maxwell — a long—time

friend of prince andrew — has been remanded in custody in the us after being charged with a number of sex offences. the trial of 20 saudi arabian nationals charged in connection with the murder of the journalist, jamal khashoggi, gets under way in turkey. many of us have resorted to diy hair cuts since lockdown began but as of tomorrow, hair salons and barbers in england will reopen. orgot your or got your children on board in my case. in northern ireland, they'll resume on monday, in wales it's the monday after and for scotland it's wednesday 15th july. but it won't be a hair cut as you know it — with new rules in place around disinfecting equipment and wearing ppe. let's talk to ayanda soares from her salon in west london. really good to have you with us this morning. firstly, how big is your waiting list? it was over 100 ladies

all wanting hair extensions. so, the phone has been extremely busy and your website extremely busy with bookings. yes, absolutely. let's go back a few months, because, of course, as with other hairdressers, coronavirus forced you to close your salon but it was just three or four months after you had opened for business in the first place. how have those months been? well, yeah, we relocated to a new salon because oui’ we relocated to a new salon because our salon was so busy and we were based in ealing in west london. we had to relocate to a larger salon space, so we were expecting business to be booming because we relocated and had this huge salon space and had to close three or four months after and it was really scary, really daunting and i spent a lot of money renovating the new salon location and we had these expected clients to come in anticipating the of the salon. it was scary having to close the salon and not know how

long to close it for. tell us about the preparations you have had to make for reopening, what will the customer experience be like and what will it be like for you and your staff? our salon is a very vibrant salon, lots of talking, dancing, messing around. it is a veryjokey relaxing environment and that might have to change, because we need to reduce the amount of talking and communication, with star wearing face masks and customers wearing a face masks and customers wearing a face masks and customers wearing a face mask and all of the staff will have visors. the atmosphere and on the arts of the salon will definitely change because of that. —— the ambience of the salon. we had lots of measures in place. outside our main entrance door, we have a table that has hand sanitisers, gloves and face masks will be there. before customers come inside, we can make sure they are sanitised and they are protected before they come inside. we have got screams in between every styling station, to make sure customers are not directly

next to each other. we can see one just over your shoulder. yes, just a clear screen, we would get clear screams, so you still get the lighting of the salon space. we have clear screens in front of every station. or the side of every station. or the side of every station. no flicking through magazines? and unfortunately less chat? yeah, we've got no magazines any more and we don't have a waiting area. while the sun is out and while it's area. while the sun is out and while its warm, we actually have two seats and a table just outside the front of the salon, in case we are running late. we have put half an hour spaces in between every client, so it gives us time to clean and sanitise our area. we have doubled and tripled up on our equipment, so we are making sure even while it is here, we are not using the same equipment on clients. once we have usedit equipment on clients. once we have used it on one client, it will go away and be sanitised for 2h hours and then we will use it on somebody else but we won't be able to

sanitise it for the normal half—an—hour, 20 minutes, and then use it on a client. a lot of changes. although you have a big waiting list, are some clients are still nervous about returning to get their hair done? well, we have... it's about a 20—80 split. 80% are raring to go and they have been calling me for weeks and asking me to do their hair at their house. everyone is desperate to get these hair extensions fitted but we had 20% of clients who are a bit relu cta nt 20% of clients who are a bit reluctant and don't want to be in an environment where everybody else will be seeded. we have reduced the amount of clients we will have and spread out our stylist —— be seated. we have a chair dedicated to someone specialising in wigs, a separate station to the rest of the salon. we can spread out our client so they are not as close together in house of hair. we are giving them reassurance that they will be safe and we will take precautions to make sure our stations are sanitised and the whole salon is kept clean. well,

best of luck for the big reopening tomorrow. thank you very much. i love your mirrors, by the way! thank you very much. ayanda soares at house of hair. lockdown is easing across at different speeds across the uk. let's get the latest from our correspondents on changes coming into effect in scotland, wales and northern ireland. chris page is in belfast, tomos morgan is on barry island. but first, let's go to lorna gordon, who is in east renfrewshire. lorna, what's the latest? she is in the rain, unfortunately. big focus on the easing of restrictions today. play parks in scotla nd restrictions today. play parks in scotland reopened earlier this week, but now children aged 11 and under can meet outside with other children and adults without having to physically distance, that means they can play more normally with their friends. and if their grandparents are not shielding, they can hug

them. an easing of restrictions for them. an easing of restrictions for them outdoors. they can only meet eight people from three different household at any one time still, thatis household at any one time still, that is true for children between 12 and 17. they still have to physically distance outdoors but they can meet more groups throughout they can meet more groups throughout the day. the other big change today is that self catering accommodation here in scotland reopens, that is ahead of the wider opening of the tourist industry onjuly ahead of the wider opening of the tourist industry on july the 15th. the other big development is the row overair the other big development is the row over air bridges. the scottish justice secretary on the morning radio said that to put it politely, he was fairly frustrated at the uk government's approach going ahead before they had agreement from all four uk nations. he said, "this wasn't about politics, this was a

bad public health. and that there was a number of countries on the list were a proportion of the population that is currently infectious is higher than scotland —— about public health." scotland is going for an elimination strategy, trying to drive the number of people with the virus down to as low as possible. a small outbreak actually today down in dumfries and galloway. whilst the five mile travel restrictions in scotland here are lifted today, they remain in place in dumfries and galloway. that is the situation in scotland, some easing of restrictions. a big row aboutair easing of restrictions. a big row about air bridges to other countries, which is not yet resolved. the scottish government is saying they do want an agreement between the four nations, but they have to put public health first, thatis have to put public health first, that is the situation here, what about in northern ireland? chris is in belfast for us. yes, this is one of the most significant days here in

terms of easing the lockdown. northern ireland is becoming one of the first places in the uk to allow pubs, catheters, and hotels, the tourist industry to open. you have pubs like ones across the road saying they are back, this one reopening as of 12 noon today —— pubs, cafe is and hotels. there are rules attached. firstly, if you want to sit indoors, you will have to order a meal. you can only drink alcohol on its own if you like if there is an outdoor seating area. pub landlords will certainly be hoping that the weather improves a bit as the day goes on. also, entertainment in bars, the likes of music, live football matches on a screen, that is all being discouraged. all in the spirit of keeping social distancing. the requirements for the hospitality industry has been cut from two metres to one metre and if they can

put in place measures to reduce the risk, for example making sure ventilation is good in indoor spaces. they stress it is an if. the wider business sector welcoming the fa ct wider business sector welcoming the fact that the hospitality industry is able to open its doors again. it is able to open its doors again. it isa very is able to open its doors again. it is a very important industry here, it generates £1 billion of revenue and sustain 65,000 jobs. the tourist industry has been a big economic focus of the devolved government at stormont for the last few years. it is regarded as a major step forward. public health authorities, the likes of the northern ireland chief medical officer doctor michael mcbride, wanting as people go out and socialise again, it is important to remain vigilant. levels of the virus in northern ireland have dropped over the last few weeks. over the last week or so, for example, there has been less than five new cases a day on average and many days now thankfully no deaths due to covid—19 are being reported. but the message is that it doesn't

mean the virus have gone away and as more of the economy opens up, it is important that people stick to the rules to bank the progress that northern ireland has made in the fight against the coronavirus. that is the picture from belfast, let's hear from wales and my colleague, tomos morgan, is on barry island. thank you, chris, as you say, we are ona thank you, chris, as you say, we are on a windy barry island today where, for eight weeks during the lockdown, this place was actually shot to everyone. it reopened about three weeks ago for locals as wales had eight stay local rule, which meant everyone had to stay within five miles of their home. —— they had a. today, the welsh government will announce the end of the stay local rule and from monday, people can travel across wales. tourist hotspots like barry island, other beaches across wales, will be open to the public. this follows yesterday the announcement that pubs and restaurants can reopen butjust outside from the 13th ofjune. from

monday, people can also go and stay in their second homes across wales. but accommodation, self—contained, things like that, won't be reopening until the 11th of july, things like that, won't be reopening until the 11th ofjuly, if things continue to progress as they are. marco, you own marco's! cafe, tell us marco, you own marco's! cafe, tell us how the past few weeks have been for you and what are you envisaging the situation being on monday —— marco's cafe. for the last couple of weeks we have reopened that it has been very different due to the social distancing and the five mile limit. come monday, they can come nationally, they can come to barry island, which we welcome. we are looking forward to it, but it is still a bit scary with the social distancing. that is our main issue. the social distancing. because, of course, the social distancing. because, of course , we the social distancing. because, of course, we still have to remain two metres in wales, there is no discussion as of yet an alleviation

down to one metre. what has made things difficult, you know, apart from the obvious, how has that been made difficult for you? it is difficult for us because of the amount of staff. we don't need that many amount of staff. we don't need that ma ny staff amount of staff. we don't need that many staff at the moment because we can only serve one person at a time instead of two or three. that is the issue. it is scary for us. we have got to keep these people two metres apart because if they don't, we will get in trouble. is it kind of strange because usually, we have been here during the summer in blazing sunshine, obviously not a day like today, but this place is usually heaving. yes. it must have seemed bizarre to see the funfair close. i have worked on barry island 50 yea rs close. i have worked on barry island 50 years and i have never seen anything like this. it is basically strange. it is like a ghost town. not such a ghost town, we get people here but it is not the same, there is not a buzz about it yet. hopefully, when it comes back and we hit normality at little stages, when it all goes back to normal, and i

can put all my table and chairs out and we go back to normality, everybody should be happy. and we go back to normality, everybody should be happym and we go back to normality, everybody should be happy. in terms of business, lastly, what would be the best case scenario for you? get back to normality in the middle of july and we have a massive heat wave! because everybody loves the sunshine. i am sure i would be looking forward to that. thank you. today, the welsh government announcing that the end of the stay local rule in wales, the end of the five mile rule, so people can travel across wales but people can't come to holiday in wales at the moment because hotels and self—contained accommodation will not reopen until the 11th ofjuly at the earliest. however, if you own a second home, you will be able to stay there from monday as well. tomos, thank you very much, tomos morgan on barry island. thank you to chris in belfast and lorna gordon in scotland. 20 saudi arabian nationals are going on trial in absentia in turkey over the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi.

mr khashoggi disappeared inside the saudi consulate in istanbul in october 2018 and investigators concluded he'd been strangled to death. if convicted, the defendants face possible life sentences, but proceedings are limited as none of the accused are physically in turkey. we can talk to our security correspondent frank gardner who joins us from home. take us through the details of this case. this took place in 2080 two yea rs case. this took place in 2080 two years ago. he was originally part of the saudi government, an ambassador in london and became a vocal critic of the saudi crown prince had moved himself into exile. in october that year, he walked into the saudi consulate to get some papers are signed and he never out. he was overpowered and dismembered and his body parts never found.

overpowered and dismembered and his body parts neverfound. the overpowered and dismembered and his body parts never found. the saudi government initially pretended or at least said they knew nothing about it and it was all basically a botched cover—up. they then admitted that what is called a operation targeted him. the rest of the world doesn't really accept that. saudi arabia held a trial secret last year and announced five death sentences but the two chief suspects, crucially, the media adviser to the saudi crown prince and the deputy prince of saudi intelligence both walked free. these are people the cia and other intelligence agencies believe were very heavily involved. so today's trial, although it is in absentia and there are no suspects in court, it is important because it is quite likely that the turkish authorities are going to reveal new evidence. remember, the turkish intelligence bugged the saudi consulate. they have the tape of mr

khashoggi's last gruesome minutes. i spoke recently, yesterday, to the un is -- spoke recently, yesterday, to the un is--a spoke recently, yesterday, to the un is —— a lab at we hope we see a transcript of this but not here played in court because it would be very disrespectful to his fiancee and relatives. thank you very much for that. frank gardner. the time is 9:33. let's catch up with the weather forecast with mick taylor. how are things looking? hello, certainly no heatwave. great skies for many at the moment —— micro grey skies. lots of heavy rain. brighter spots in the channel islands, south—east england and shetland. even the afternoon, sunny spells to come. some of the rain we've seen in scotla nd come. some of the rain we've seen in scotland are easing off at times this afternoon, may at some sunshine spreads towards the hebrides was that we will see persistent rain in

south—west scotland, the risk of flooding, further heavy rain in northern ireland. the cambrian mountains, west wales, this is where we will see more persistent rain. river levels continue to rise. some splashes of rain elsewhere. as we go through this evening and overnight, cloud and patchy rain remains for england and wales. quite a humid night to come. cloud keeps temperatures up in southern scotland but with clearer skies in north scotland, chilly. 1a in parts of aberdeenshire into saturday. a fairly cloudy day, patchy rain and drizzle in the west but by sunday hopefully brighter skies but it will be windier with gales in places as well. more coming up later. hello, this is bbc news, with me, annita mcveigh. the headlines: more than 50 countries are to be named by the government today, where holiday—makers from england won't have to quarantine when they arrive home. the most important thing is people who were hoping to get away,

perhaps, for a summer holiday, will have options when they see that list. ghislaine maxwell — a long—time friend of prince andrew — has been remanded in custody in the us after being charged with a number of sex offences. the trial of 20 saudi arabian nationals charged in connection with the murder of the journalist, jamal khashoggi, gets under way in turkey. don't overdo it — borisjohnson warns people to act responsibly when coronavirus restrictions are eased, and pubs open in england tomorrow. and from tomorrow in england — the days of home hairdressing are over, as salons get ready to open up. more on the quarantine policy, which has meant almost all travellers to britain having to self—isolate on arrival, the news that that is to be dropped for countries including spain, italy, germany and france.

the change will come into force on the 10th ofjuly. but it will apply only to england for now — and the government says reciprocal arrangements with exempted countries are not yet in place. our correspondent guy hedgecoe is in madrid for us. we know how important this relationship is between the uk and spain, in terms of holidays, the travel sector and the money that generates. we are only talking about travel from england to spain for the moment. what exactly is spain saying about any reciprocal arrangements? welcomer spain had been pushing for reciprocal arrangements a couple of weeks ago. if you remember, on the 22nd ofjune, spain lifted its own quarantine controls for many countries in the european union and the schengen area and included the united kingdom eventually in that group of countries. but it was revealed that spain had been pushing quite hard for the uk to reciprocate and to lift its own quarantine

controls for people returning from spain to the uk or travelling from spain to the uk or travelling from spain to the uk. now, that didn't happen back then despite the spanish government has met wishes but the fa ct government has met wishes but the fact it is happening now i think will come as a huge relief to the spanish authorities because, as you say, the british and english tourism market is enormously important for the spanish economy overall. we are yet to hear an official response to this but i am sure it will be welcome. and many people wanting to go on holiday to spain will want to ta ke go on holiday to spain will want to take notice of what the coronavirus infection rate is in the country now, especially in the most popular tourist areas, can you bring us up tourist areas, can you bring us up to date? welcome yes. spain has been very ha rd to date? welcome yes. spain has been very hard hit, over 28,000 deaths. right now, the feeling is the health ca re right now, the feeling is the health care crisis is very much over and the worst of it has been over for a long time and it has come very much under control having said that, over

the last two or three weeks in spain has started lifting restrictions since the end of love lockdown, we have seen some outbreaks in certain areas of the country. the government says that is to be expected and those outbreaks are being monitored. they are under control at the moment but there are concerns about the beginning of this peak tourism sector opening up again, what that could mean in terms of a second wave of coronavirus. infections are still very low here but there are concerns about what the opening up of the tourism season could mean. thank you very much. guy hedgecoe in madrid for us. one of the side—effects of the covid—19 pandemic has been a drop off in donor organ donations.

doctors at a leading transplant hospital say the supply almost dried up at the height of the crisis — but that things are now slowly getting back to normal. our science correspondent richard westcott reports. it's busy again now, but covid cast its long shadow over these transplant wards. not because patients were getting it, but because the supply of donor organs almost dried up. pauline desperately needed new lungs, but she went on the donor list just days before the country locked down. as the hospitals braced themselves for covid, she expected a long wait, but then the call came. it was 9:30am and just about to have breakfast and the transplant nurse called me and she said to me, she said to me, "we believe we have a pair of lungs for you." and she went through everything and ijust burst into tears, because obviously you think of the donor, theirfamily, because somebody has lost their life. so, you don't really know how to feel. we're filming with the doors shut to keep her safe. pauline has this incredible description of her new life. i woke up and i had a huge gasp, because i was only used to a very small amount of air within my lungs

and i could take in a full breath. just amazing. but pauline knows she was lucky. caroline, hello. nice to see you. doctors here say the number of donor organs available fell by around 90% as the pandemic struck. meaning more patients than usual died whilst waiting. it's because most organs come from intensive care units and they were struggling to cope with covid. so, the number of donors remains lower than it would be normally, which impacts on the number of transplants we're able to perform. but the number of donors is increasing and, actually, the number of transplants that are able to be performed as a result is increasing. we're not yet back to normal levels but we have to be in the not—too—distant future. in fact, transplant operations across the country are now about two—thirds of the way back to normal. applause. thank you! upstairs, pauline's finally ready to go home. it's a moving moment for her and the staff. husband colin's waiting

anxiously outside. because of the virus, these two haven't been able to meet four weeks. —— for weeks. pauline says first up, she wants a cup of tea in her own home. longer term, believe it or not, with her new lungs, she says she wants to climb mount snowdon. richard westcott, bbc news, royal papworth hospital in cambridge. you may have heard today that from monday, testing for coronavirus in england's care homes is being increased. staff will be tested weekly, residents will receive a test every 28 days. meanwhile, this morning, new figures from the office for national statistics have been released, which reveal more about the spread of the virus in care settings. iain bell is the deputy national statisticia at the ons. these figures just released literally in the last few minutes. you have done two reports, one more general one on the care home sector

i believe and one which analyses how many ca re i believe and one which analyses how many care homes have had covid and what proportion of residents and staff in those homes have had covid and the factors at work there. what are the key findings from the studies you would like to highlight for us? looking at care homes who have residents with dementia or older residents, we found 66 —— 56% of these care homes reported at least one coronavirus case involving a resident or star. of those care homes, 20% of residents in those ca re homes, 20% of residents in those care homes, around 311,000 people had covid—19 positive tests and around 7% of staff. 20% of residents and 7% of staff, what time period was that over? that is over the entire period of the pandemic. that is since the

start of the pandemic is reported by ca re start of the pandemic is reported by care home managers. you obviously have been looking at the factors at work as to why some care homes have had different rates of infection and what did you discover? we discovered that the factors associated with higher levels in residence, those we re higher levels in residence, those were higher infection levels among staff and also higher levels in london and the west midlands. and certain care home practices were also associated with this, in particular, increased use of agency staff. we also found some evidence that infection rates were lower in ca re that infection rates were lower in care homes which offered sick pay. so, infection rates are lower in ca re so, infection rates are lower in care homes that offer sick pay, that's interesting. and infection rates higher where agency staff, in other words staff who were moving around different settings, were working? that's right, yes. those

are two working? that's right, yes. those a re two really working? that's right, yes. those are two really interesting points to pull out of that. with this announcement from the government today about increased testing and ca re today about increased testing and care homes, we know the sector has been crying out for a long time now for increased testing. you can see where increased testing earlier may have stemmed some infections, is that fair to say, from what you have found in these studies? u nfortu nately, found in these studies? unfortunately, it looks like that line to iain we are having problems with. i will wait to see if we can get back to him. no, i'm afraid that line has failed. really interesting to hear from the line has failed. really interesting to hearfrom the ons, line has failed. really interesting to hear from the ons, those two reports on covid—19 in the care home sector and just to repeat those two key findings. as they examined why some care homes had more coronavirus cases than others, there were fewer

cases than others, there were fewer cases where the care homes offered sick pay to their staff. and there we re sick pay to their staff. and there were more cases where the care homes used agency staff, in other words, staff who moved around a number of ca re staff who moved around a number of care homes as part of their work. iain bell there from the ons. as restrictions are lifted, pubs will reopen their doors tomorrow with rules in place to try and ensure that customers and staff abide by social distancing rules. ben thompson has been to a pub in west london finding out what has changed. an important weekend as far as easing restrictions. from tomorrow, pubs, bars and restaurants can prepare to welcome back customers for the first time in a long time. but, a trip down your local could look and feel very different. let's have a look at what's changed. some of the things we are increasingly familiar in

with, reminders about hand sanitiser, washing your hands when you get in. you will also notice a lot more signs, too. so a one—way system in this pub, there is one entrance and one exit. also, the to i lets. entrance and one exit. also, the toilets. strict rules there about how many are allowed in. and this pub, normally they get about 100 in here at normal times. they can get about 70 people in under the new restrictions and that makes it financially viable. iona is the manager. lots of work has gone into getting to this point but it's an important point, you can reopen from tomorrow? yes and we're very excited about opening, getting our guests and regulars back in the door. as you can see around, there are lots of changes, lots of sanitising units around. the tables, that is how we would have a table laid up, all around the building, but that is all the tables will be quite bare when you walk in. that is to stop any cross contamination, no cutlery, glasses, napkins and that sort of thing. your staff would normally be able to do a bit of everything that they will have very specific jobs

for the whole day? yeah, i think they will get quite frustrated because waiting staff sometimes serve a customer, combine the bar and get their drinks but you can't have that now. there will be full of stuff, someone hosting, someone at the exit door and just one person on the exit door and just one person on the bar where usually there are three orfour, just the bar where usually there are three or four, just one person so they are not crossing. and customers will find the new rules in place, they will have to leave contact details and there will be a time limit on how long they are allowed to stay here. crucially, no big parties. that is a very different way of working for you because normally you would want loads of people in, spending lots of money and staying all day? yes, and the booking system, they need to leave their details, so anyone who books has to leave their details. anyone who walks in, we still have to take their details, telephone number, so we can trace them as well. good luck, i know you have a training session for your staff later but good luck. there you have it, it will feel and look pretty different down your local pub from this weekend. not all pubs are choosing

to open, some choosing to hang on a little bit, maybe to get over the weekend rush but nonetheless, all pa rt weekend rush but nonetheless, all part of that reopening, that easing of lockdown restrictions in england. the hospitality industry a huge employer, its contribution to the economy is significant and so this weekend an important milestone to get the economy back up and running. ben thompson. with the news that 50 countries today will be announced where quarantine won't be needed it is time to put your questions to travel questions to our experts in your questions answered. jolining me now are two travel industry specialists, wendy haines and jill starley grainger. good morning to both of you. we have some quite specific and detailed questions. one from rachel for you,

jill. a package going to corfu, the holiday is booked is non—refundable, currently looked as if i can tra nsfer currently looked as if i can transfer the whole holiday as an option. rachel paid in full, around £4000, didn't get round to booking travel insurance will stop she is currently shielding and personally would like a refund as she is still too frightened to go. her holiday was booked using her mastercard. what are her options and rights? legally you don't have any right to a refund at all. i always suggest people take out travel insurance and a year ago when i was saying this, loads of people are saying why take out travel insurance customer you can predict what will happen in the future. unfortunately, iguess can predict what will happen in the future. unfortunately, i guess you didn't take out travel insurance in time. while it's really important to pay with a credit card or if you don't have a credit card, a debit card, to give you extra protection, that protection only comes in if you have a dispute with the company that

you are dealing with. there is no legal dispute here because if they have a holiday is going ahead but you are just choosing not to travel, thatis you are just choosing not to travel, that is called disinclination to travel. if you had travel insurance, you could get a note from your doctor to say you are shielding and your travel insurance would then cover it but because you don't have travel insurance, it is nowjust disinclination to travel. so your only real option at this stage is to try to convince the travel agent to let you move the trip to a future date. i think that is the best bet. a lot of travel agents are being very understanding about doing that. 0k, very understanding about doing that. ok, that is good advice. rachel, i hope is good advice. rachel, i hope that —— hope is good advice. rachel, i hope that -- i hope is good advice. rachel, i hope that —— i hope that helps. wendy, a question for you from john, he says my wife and i are in our 70s and have been isolating since lockdown that have flights booked to san francisco on the 3rd of september and do not wish to travel due to coronavirus issues in the usa but the flight is still scheduled to leave. we cannot cancel the flights without losing all of our money bust

up without losing all of our money bust up the flights and accommodation we re up the flights and accommodation were booked via an agency and the holiday balance is due in two weeks, which we do not want to pay, what can we do? it is a tricky one. we have a couple of options, really. we can either pay the balance and hope that the foreign office changes or stays as it is and they can't travel, in which case then they would be entitled to a refund or a credit note. otherwise, they could speak to their credit note. otherwise, they could speakto theirairline credit note. otherwise, they could speak to their airline and supplier and see if they could actually change. otherwise, they cannot pay their balance and lose their deposit, so there are a couple of options, really. but look at that foreign office advice very closely as number one and number two, get in touch with their airline, anyone else they have made a booking with asap to see if dates can be shifted? yes, absolutely. as i say, if the foreign office advice is still that they can't travel, they will be entitled to a refund or a credit

note, depending on the airline's actual terms. it is note, depending on the airline's actualterms. it is a note, depending on the airline's actual terms. it is a way off, the 3rd of september but some good advice, john, i hope it helps. a question from jane who asks i paid a deposit on a ten day holiday to saint lucia departing on september the 10th. the balance is now due which we are being asked to pay, what do we do question my lots of people in this position, i guess, with balances to pay and unsure whether to go ahead and part with that money? if you don't pay the remainder of the balance, then what you risk is losing everything. if you risk is losing everything. if you are 100% certain you do not want to travel then, the thing to do is to travel then, the thing to do is to travel the —— contact the travel agent and see if they will move it different date. this isjust considered disinclination to travel again. when you pay a deposit and their remainder is due later, if you default on the rest of the payment it's like defaulting on any other financial arrangement and you lose your right to anything. if you think your right to anything. if you think you might still want to travel, the best advice would be to go ahead and

pay the rest of the deposit and then if you can't travel because there is a quarantine issue or the company cancels the trip, at least then you would get your money back in full. where as if you didn't pay, after paying the deposit, if you defaulted on the rest and the company cancelled, you still wouldn't be do you anything back. so if you have paid a deposit, my advice is to go ahead and pay the remainder, unless you are 100% sure you do not want to travel, and then either see if the company will refund you most cases they are not because it is disinclination to travel or see if they will move the date back a year where you might be more comfortable. a question from andy. his question is specific to spain's entry rules that state form has to be filled out from each arrival. one question asks if you have been in contact with a person confirmed with covid in the last 14 days. he says his wife as an nhs worker currently on a covid—19

award so the answer to that question in her case will obviously be yes. she has previously tested positive to the disease, confirmed through an antibody test. they are concerned that spain plasma health officials could potentially turn them away at the airport because of her history and continuing involvement with covid—19 —positive patients must do you think this is a possibility and what are their options in terms of insurance? interesting question! these forms a new and lots of countries are asking for these forms to be filled in before you actually travel. in this particular case, with the spain one, you fill the form in and then you are left with a qr code which is either show when you phone or print out and take to the airport with you to allow you to travel. i think by answering yes to that question, there is a likelihood that question, there is a likelihood that he won't get that qr code a nyway that he won't get that qr code anyway so he won't be allowed to travel. in that case, he would need to speak to his travel insurance to

see if he is actually covered to claim off his insurance. very specific situation. i hope andy is able to get all the answers he is looking for. jill, we have seen a third day in the usa of record numbers of infections. graham says, when can i go and visit my family in the usa? you are not the only one asking that question! i need to go and visit my family in the usa is well and they are due to come over her. unfortunately, we just well and they are due to come over her. unfortunately, wejust don't know. we had planned this christmas for my family to come over and spend christmas with us here and it is looking increasingly unlikely. however, it's just seeing which way the wind blows on any given day. hopefully, within a couple of months, they might be on the list but that is pure speculation, u nfortu nately. but that is pure speculation, unfortunately. i don't see it happening in the very near future. wendy, ron is asking if i leave scotla nd wendy, ron is asking if i leave scotland to holiday in spain for a week and fly back into england for a

couple of days, then return to scotland, would i have to quarantine myself for 14 days, assuming the scottish government hasn't followed the uk government's regulations regarding travel abroad ? the uk government's regulations regarding travel abroad? in theory, yes. although, who knows what the scotland government are going to do now following the english announcements today. it may be they change those because otherwise it is quite a tricky situation, isn't it? so look out for all the government announcements. different positions with the various devolved nations makes things a bit more complicated at the moment. jill, john says, we have flights booked in new zealand, where we have to quarantine for 14 days when we get there? if we do, the trip wouldn't be worth it. currently, you cannot go to new zealand for just leisure currently, you cannot go to new zealand forjust leisure purposes. that is out. if your flight is still operating and you are due to fly for leisure purposes you will have to look to your travel insurance because you're only refund it for your flight if the airline cancelled

the flight. people who are from new zealand and for a few other reasons, key workers, they can get exceptions. there are a few exceptions. there are a few exceptions but you wouldn't be able to go in the short term anyway. if new zealand does decide to live these restrictions, one of the ways it might do it is to require you to go intoa it might do it is to require you to go into a quarantine hotel because currently, even if you are a new zealand citizen and you go into the country or you are a key worker, you do have to quarantine for 14 days. in most cases, if you are a foreigner and particularly if they open up to leisure travel, you will probably have to foot the bill for that hotel. so it's not great news. it depends when the trip is. the advice is pretty clear cut there at the moment. thank you so much for all that advice this morning. thanks as ever to you for sending in your questions. i hope some of those a nswe rs we re questions. i hope some of those answers were really useful for you and we will have much more, of course, on the changes to those quarantine regulations coming up throughout the morning and the rest

of the day here on bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. here is matt taylor. hello, there, it's grey and wet out there for many of you at the moment and there's more wet weather to come, at times, this weekend, but things gradually brighten up. brightest conditions today — the far south of england, the channel islands and across shetland. in between, though, the cloud remains in place this afternoon. rain eases off at times, though, in the northern half of scotland and remains quite relentless, though, south—west scotland. risk of some minor flooding, here. northern ireland, occasional rain and some heavy bursts of rain around the cumbrian fells and the cambrian mountains in west wales through this afternoon. again, we will start to see river levels rise. occasional splashes of rain elsewhere, but as i said, channel islands, south east england, some of the driest, brightest and warmest weather. highs of around 22 degrees. as we go into this evening and overnight, a mild and muggy night for england and wales, plenty of cloud, outbreaks of rain. some still patchy rain and cloud for northern ireland and southern scotland keeping temperatures up but northern half of scotland

with some clearer skies, could get down to 4 degrees in the countryside. as for your weekend forecast, well, more rain at times and strengthening winds on saturday, though not as wet as today, sunshine, heavy showers and strong winds for sunday.
