this is bbc news. the headlines... a change to travel rules — people arriving in england from more than 50 countries won't have to quarantine, from next friday. 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. borisjohnson warns people to act responsibly tomorrow as no 10 says pubs are allowed to re—open in england from 6am tomorrow. new figures reveal nearly 20,000 care home residents died in england and wales between march the 2nd and june the 12th. a woman has been jailed for life for planning to blow herself up in an attack
2:01 pm
on st paul's cathedral in london. and coming up, we're at thorpe park, as theme parks in england prepare to welcome customers tomorrow, for the first time in three months. it's been confirmed that spain, france and italy are among dozens of countries that will be exempt from quarantine rules in england, from next friday. reciprocal agreements have been reached which mean travellers won't need to self—isolate when they return from abroad. the new system is england only — with scotland, wales and northern ireland setting out their own approach in the coming days.
2:02 pm
scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has accused the uk goverment of "shambolic decision—making". tomorrow, the foreign office will change its advice, which warned against all but essential foreign travel. here's our transport correspondent tom burridge. en route to france by train. the eurotunnel is still pretty quiet. but in a week from now, people travelling on this route back into england won't have to quarantine, and for this lot, that's good news. we were over there recently, we came back and we had to quarantine for two weeks. i am going down to paris today. i'm working down there, so the quarantine relaxing is big for me because, obviously, i'm back at work. most foreign trips during the pandemic were put on hold. the quarantine added uncertainty and bookings really dried up. that really killed the passenger traffic. we were running at significantly lower levels than we have through the previous years. this is the opportunity for people
2:03 pm
to get moving again. the quarantine will still apply to people travelling to england from countries like the united states, where the virus is still not under control. but the government's blanket travel quarantine, in place forfour weeks, will disappear for arrivals from more than 50 amber amber or green low risk countries. countries on the list mean that when you arrive there you won't have restrictions, unless, and i should stress this point, they're on the green list. so, those are countries that have very, very low incidents. we thought it was right to include them because, if you take new zealand as a good example, they do have restrictions when you arrive, but we thought it was right to include them because people may want to come here from new zealand. travel companies which have suffered so much say the quarantine should have only applied to risky countries from the beginning. it is mainly for europe we are seeing interest at the moment, with some other people starting to look at 2021
2:04 pm
travel or further afield so that's very exciting. we would still like to see is more clarity from the government does do exactly what will happen at the other end when people arrive in those countries. but if you jet out of inverness or any other airport in scotland, wales or northern ireland, the quarantine rules might differ on your return. the scottish government wants more time to decide, as it has concerns about some of the amber countries on the uk government's list of exemptions. just to illustrate the point about the shifting sands of the uk government's position, the list of countries that they were yesterday demanding that the scottish government signed up to and suggesting that we were a barrier to getting agreement on, is not the same as the list that they have shared with us today. so we need, as the scottish government, to analyse these proposals properly and rationally. testing passengers for covid is also expected to begin soon at airports.
2:05 pm
a negative result at a lab like this one might mean even passengers arriving from risky countries could be exempt from quarantine, but you would have to pay for a test. 0ur political correspondentjessica parker is at westminster. we have been going on behind the what has been going on behind the scenes? it has not been a smooth ride, when the quarantine restrictions came in, a lot of criticism that it was too restrictive and that there needed to be more subtlety to take into defect that some countries were not high—risk and the travel industry we re high—risk and the travel industry were deeply worried, but this list was highly anticipated and has been talked about a week and it will be welcomed by the travel industry but there are bumps along the road and they continue to be bumps along the road. as we heard in the report,
2:06 pm
frustration it seems from the scottish government and the welsh government, they say the process has been shambolic. nicola sturgeon suggesting they were getting a different list last night to the list they are now getting this morning, but uk government sources say this is a changeable situation, so say this is a changeable situation, so it is not that surprising that things can change day by day and they will keep the list under co nsta nt they will keep the list under constant review going forward, as well. it kicks in officially in terms of england next friday but coronavirus knows no boundaries and who knows when things could change? it is not carte blanche to book a holiday. it is up to how people feel. the government is hoping to give people a morale boost, those looking to go abroad this summer, and we know of the 50 plus countries that people are likely to visit with some kind of reciprocal arrangement includes the likes of france and spain. we have to wait for the details to come, but you are right,
2:07 pm
this is a wide apart and we have seen as part of using lockdown, introducing the full lockdown, a blunt instrument, but easing it is much more complex and the government have talked about how they won't hesitate to put the brakes on if they think there is a problem with they think there is a problem with the virus spreading so it is continuing to be a changeable situation. they will hope to keep the easing of measures in terms of quarantine in place through the summer quarantine in place through the summerand quarantine in place through the summer and they would not want to see people booking holidays and they're not being able to go and insurance arrangements changing because of advice from the foreign 0ffice, because of advice from the foreign office, but it is a highly changeable situation. jessica parker, thanks for joining changeable situation. jessica parker, thanks forjoining us. we will talk a bit about the criticism from scotland and wales now, in fa ct. the first ministers of wales and scotland have described the uk government's plans as ‘shambolic‘. nicola sturgeon said she hoped to make a decision on travel restrictions for scotland soon. alexandra mackenzie is in glasgow.
2:08 pm
was she sounding briefing? she sounded very frustrated, but she is adamant that she will not be rushed into a decision -- was she sounding irritated at the briefing? she had strong language for the scottish —— the uk government saying that the scottish government will not be dragged along by any shambolic decision making and she said she had little or no time to look at these lists. she said the list kept coming to her and they were changed so she described them as shifting sands. some of this was happening last friday when scotland was dealing with that awful multiple stabbing in the centre of glasgow. she said there was pressure put on the scottish government to make a decision last weekend when they were
2:09 pm
dealing with other things. nicola sturgeon has said that her government will take the proper amount of time to look at this and she has emphasised that this is an extremely important decision to make and not something she's going to rushed into. she said one of the reasons for this is because the infection rate is lower in scotland and she wants to make sure that people do not come, there is no risk, if she lowers the risk as low as possible, there is no risk of people coming into the country and bring more coronavirus infection into scotland. when, as she says, she has got to a position where she is hoping that coronavirus could be eliminated possibly by the end of the summer. for now, thanks for joining us. the prime minister has urged people to act safely and sensibly when pubs in england reopen tomorrow. restaurants, hairdressers and hotels are also among the businesses which are allowed to open, from tomorrow, as long as they follow safety guidelines.
2:10 pm
0ur correspondent katy austin has been finding out how businesses on the kent coast have been preparing. on saturday customers will walk through the doors of this small pub in folkestone for the first time in three months. social distancing means things will be different. hello, welcome to the lifeboat. we've taken some tables away and spaced the seating over here. we have a hand sanitising station. with capacity reduced inside, the beer garden will be vital. but how many people will turn up? i'm anxious. some people are saying we're going to be packed and they're worried that we can't get in and other people are saying that they are not going to be coming out to pubs and restaurants for a long time yet. so, yeah, it's the complete unknown. unlike some pubs, this one won't take orders via an app but it will be table service only. the stairs will need monitoring at the top for entry. not all venues in england will open this weekend. this music bar won't.
2:11 pm
its owners say without live music and with social distancing they'd lose money. this is devastating for us. there are days when we can cope and we can be really positive and we can look to the future and look at the ways that we can open in the future. but there are also some very, very dark days. businesses in folkestone need trade from tourists as well as locals. since wednesday, staff at this hotel have been back from furlough preparing for guests. we will actually have a protective screen here. we are implementing a contactless and paperless check—in. we have to make sure that all of our staff are properly trained to use ppe. brochures and cushions are being removed from rooms as multiple people could touch them and there will be no buffet at breakfast. we are going to have to start removing some of the tables and chairs. at the moment there is plenty of availability, so in a way it means we can start slowly slowly, make sure that actually we're comfortable, the staff are comfortable.
2:12 pm
also preparing to reopen from saturday are hairdressers. this one's now booked up for weeks. staff have been in trialling their expensive protective gear and the more sparse layout. once again excitement is mixed with anxiety. less clients in the day but it's going to take more time because of all the cleaning in between, as well. we can't not open, butjust hope that we have done everything and we remain safe. some businesses have already closed for good. and for others the chance to reopen is crucial to their survival. with the furlough scheme winding down soon, many thousands ofjobs will be riding on the success of the next few months. katy austin, bbc news, in folkestone. hotels, bars and cafes have reopened in northern ireland today. 0nly pubs serving food can allow customers inside, and social distancing rules must be observed. museums and some other tourist attractions have also opened, as our ireland correspondent
2:13 pm
chris page reports. after three and a half months, pub doors are open and pints are being pulled again. bars are back in business. it feels amazing to come in and get a pint in a glass, and just a bit more craic back in belfast, you know? it's really great they're starting to open businesses again and get the economy boosted. for people working in the hospitality sector, it's a day of relief mixed with some nervousness. we've been closed for over 100 days, and it's felt a lot, lot longer than that. so, glad that we're back, our staff is back, we're here to welcome our customers. so, apprehensive, as well. i'm hoping that people will return in numbers to make our business viable. cafes, pu bs a nd restau ra nts are operating at reduced capacity because social distancing of at least one metre must be maintained. there are quite a few more rules, too. for example, if you want to have a drink but not something to eat, that's only allowed in outdoors areas.
2:14 pm
if you want to sit inside, you have to order a meal. businesses have put a lot of work into preparing for this moment. the health and safety of our staff and customers is paramount, but today, actually, gives hope. it gives hope for our industry that we can actually rebuild back to what we were, and save as manyjobs and as many businesses as possible. visitor attractions can also get going again. the giant's causeway on the north coast is one of the sites welcoming people back today. the tourist industry is focusing on potential staycationers. some business people, like this restaurant owner, are choosing to delay their reopening. the last few days, we decided to take a step back, get things done in, for us, the right way. more ppe, more training with risk assessment for covid—19, some more screens, look at the track and trace, look at the temperature control. there's an air of caution amidst the much missed clink of glasses. but this is still a day when life here feels it's edging towards normality. chris page, bbc news, belfast. in wales, the first minister mark drakeford has lifted the ‘stay
2:15 pm
local‘ restrictions which limited how far people could travel from their home. tomos morgan is on barry island. as you can see on barry island behind me, the locals are enjoying their home comforts here, but from monday, people across wales can travel further than five miles, and more people can visit tourist hotspots like barry island. what will also be lifted on monday is that people can travel further so they can meet family as well who they may not have seen, further afield. we will be speaking to some of the people living locally in barry, and although they are happy they will be able to see family and friends at a distance across wales, there are some concerns that there may be scenes as we have seen at bournemouth, on barry island come next week. it will finally mean that i can see my grandson... since february i haven't seen him in the flesh so it will be lovely to actually see them.
2:16 pm
we have been used to having the beach for ourselves the last couple of months. then itjust went bonkers for those few days when the weather was really nice. it was concerning. i think it will be a current to meet a distant scenario, i think that could be, especially for places like here and other beaches, that may be a bit of a struggle. on monday, the only people that will be able to have a holiday in wales are people that have second homes. there is a date for reopening self—contained accommodation on the 11th ofjuly, so at the moment it willjust be day trips into tourist hotspots in wales. so, on monday people can travel further afield, pubs and outdoor spaces will reopen on the 13th and accommodation also will reopen on the 11th. studio: tomos morgan, thank you. the headlines on bbc news... a change to travel rules — people arriving in england from more
2:17 pm
than 50 countries won't have to quarantine, from next friday. borisjohnson warns people to act responsibly when pubs are allowed to re—open in england tomorrow. new figures reveal nearly 20,000 care home residents died in england and wales between march the 2nd and june the 12th. a woman who converted to islam has been jailed for life for planning to blow herself up in a bomb attack on st paul's cathedral in london. safiyya shaikh, who's 37 and from west london, was arrested after asking an undercover police officer to supply bombs. she'll serve a minimum of 1a years. dominic casciani reports from the old bailey. an extraordinary safiyya shaikh was a muslim convert, she was born michelle ramsden, from west london
2:18 pm
comanche pleaded guilty —— and she pleaded guilty to an officious plan to bomb st paul's cathedral and shoot as many people as possible and maybe blow herself up on the tube if that didn't work. she was at the heart of an international investigation to work out who was running a really significant and influential extremist chat forum which was encouraging attacks across europe and after that she went on to join an organised —— try and organise her own attack, notjust satisfied with encouraging others to do the dirty work for her, but she unwittingly fell into a trap set by undercover officers and they began talking to her, she thought they we re talking to her, she thought they were bomb makers, she set out her plan and then she handed over bags which she thought would be returned to her with bombs in them and that was at the heart of this case. a very elaborate undercover operation. today she was jailed for life for a minimum of 1a years and the judge
2:19 pm
said it was clear to him that had she actually got in touch with a real bomber she would have gone ahead with her plans. there was no cold feet here, she was an exceptionally dangerous woman. as she left the dock she smiled at the judge and made a symbol to show her continuing support for the cause of islamic state. there were more than 29,000 extra deaths in care homes in england and wales up to the second week ofjune compared to the previous year. that's according to new figures from the office for national statistics. nearly 20,000 of those deaths involved confirmed or suspected coronavirus infections, with the highest number of people dying in south east england. the data comes ahead of the introduction next week of routine testing for staff and residents in care homes. dominic hughes reports. the toll the coronavirus outbreak has taken in care homes
2:20 pm
is becoming ever clearer. official figures show an extra 29,000 deaths in care homes in england and wales between march and june, compared to the same period last year. the data is exposing just how vulnerable elderly residents were to the virus and will lead to questions about what more could have been done to protect them. we'll have to go back and look at exactly what happened. i bitterly, bitterly regret every single loss of life that we've had. there is new data, too, on how new infections spread through care homes. a survey of around 5,000 care homes in england and wales revealed that more than half have seen coronavirus infections. in those homes, on average a fifth of residents became infected with the virus, and 7% of staff also tested positive. the data also suggest that in those care homes where staff received sick pay or employed fewer temporary agency staff infection rates were lower.
2:21 pm
it's really no surprise that in care homes where staff don't have guaranteed full pay when they're off sick, and where there is a high number of agency and temporary staff, that infection rates were higher. we know that if you provide proper training, if you have well—supported staff with full access to full sick pay, then you reduce the likelihood that anybody who is feeling unwell will come to work. 0bviously, that's really important in controlling the spread of covid. from monday, testing for the virus in care homes in england will be stepped up. staff will be tested each week, residents every 28 days, in an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus in social care. but there are concerns that agency staff, who may come and go from homes, will be missed. we really welcome the government's decision today to go for whole home testing, but agency staff aren't included in that, unless they are actually in the home at the point at which the testing is taking place. that's a real cohort who need to be
2:22 pm
included within the new testing regime on a weekly basis. more testing in care homes has been welcomed, but the figures released today suggest far more could and should have been done to protect the most vulnerable. prosecutors in new york say they would welcome the chance to speak to prince andrew — after ghislaine maxwell was charged with sexual offences. she was arrested in new hampshire yesterday and has appeared in court charged with assisting the convicted paedophilejeffrey epstein, who killed himself in prison last year. ghislaine maxwell has previously denied any involvement in or knowledge of his crimes. sources close to prince andrew, who denies any wrongdoing, insist he has already been in touch with us authorities. david willis reports from the us. ghislaine maxwell, lover, friend and, it's claimed, facilitator of convicted paedophile jeffrey epstein.
2:23 pm
she is charged with befriending and grooming girls for him to sexually abuse. arrested by the fbi at this sprawling farmhouse in new hampshire named tucked away, she reportedly paid cash for the place in order to conceal her identity. we have 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 lived with the trauma inflicted on them years ago. tonight, the woman authorities have spent more than a year looking for is in custody. prosecutors had vowed to go after the people who conspired with jeffrey epstein and ghislaine maxwell's arrest has been headline news here. she is facing six charges linked to his alleged sex trafficking, including enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, and two counts of perjury. prosecutors alleged victims were as young as 1a years old when the crimes took place between 1994 and 1997. she has previously denied
2:24 pm
all the allegations against her. the daughter of the late media magnate robert maxwell, maxwell is also a friend of prince andrew, and in this now infamous photo from 2001 the two are seen with virginia giuffre. ms giuffre claims maxwell arranged for her to have sex with prince andrew when she was 17, a claim the prince has strenuously denied. i have no recollection of ever meeting this lady. none whatsoever. you don't remember meeting her? no. but following the arrest of ghislaine maxwell, new york prosecutors are again calling on prince andrew for his help with their enquiries. we would welcome prince andrew coming in to talk to us. we would like to have the benefit of his statement. the gates of her new hampshire mansion have now been locked and ghislaine maxwell is awaiting transfer to new york to face trial. if convicted, she faces up to 35 years in jail. david willis, bbc news, los angeles.

a trial is underway in turkey of 20 saudi arabian nationals accused of the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. he was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul two years ago — a crime prosecutors have described as "monstrous". those indicted aren't in turkey for today's trial. a separate court case that took place in saudi arabia was widely criticised as incomplete. historian david starkey has resigned his honorary fellowship at a college at cambridge university following comments he made about slavery. fitzwilliam college said it would not tolerate racism. canterbury christ church university has also terminated starkey‘s role as visiting professor, saying his comments were "completely unacceptable". starkey made the remarks during an online interview
2:26 pm
with brexit campaigner darren grimes for a youtube channel. the french prime minister edouard philippe has resigned along with his government, before a cabinet reshuffle by president emmanuel macron. mr philippe's position had been in doubt since the middle ofjune when mr macron said he wanted to "reinvent" his presidency. the new prime minister will bejean castex, who has until recently been piloting the government's lifting of its coronavirus restrictions. theme parks in england are preparing to welcome customers tomorrow, for the first time in three months. to find out what we can expect, the intrepid john maguire tried ‘the swarm' rollercoaster at thorpe park in surrey. it has a top speed of 60mph, so not surprisingly, some of his words were lost in the wind. wish me luck. anything can happen in the next minute and a half, i suppose. as i say, 28 capacity on here. we're going to go up to a height of about 125 feet. see you in a mo. good luck, john!
2:27 pm
joining us i think probably on this other camera here... different to the last ride that we were on this morning, on stealth which is over the other side of the park, in that that one absolutely fired you up at 80mph, 1.8 seconds it took to get to 80mph. this one's a bit more like the old —fashioned roller—coasters, with the clickety—clack, clickety—clack as they go up to reach the highest point. i think we're at the highest point almost now. you get a wonderful view, i must say, and of course... what could go wrong? the only roller—coaster... wind drowns out speech woohoo! and i'm twisting around again. they've taken my photo, but they can't see me scream. down to the helicopter here. he laughs hopefully you can still see me. man, this is good fun. 0h, upside down again,
2:28 pm
and around, like a corkscrew. 0h... we're out on the side. as i was saying, this is the only winged roller—coaster in the uk, so the only one where the people if you're riding on board sit on either side. but that was really, really good fun. that's what he says! didn't look like much fun to me! now, the weather with nick miller hello. low pressure is back, it's windy, it's cloudy, some of us are having a soaker of a day out there, and it will stay windy over the weekend. this is where the lion's share of the rain is falling. looks to be heaviest towards south—west scotland, 20—30 millimetres more on hills here, but very wet over the hills of wales, into western parts of england as well, and eventually some of that rain reaching down to east anglia and those parts of southern england that stay dry for much of the day, but it will arrive into the evening. staying windy overnight, very mild,
2:29 pm
muggy for england and wales. some parts of scotland see temperatures, though, dipping into single figures, with some clear spells for a time. further cloud and patchy outbreaks of rain tomorrow, still more especially towards the north and west of the uk. if you are the to the east of high ground you mayjust see a few sunny spells. going to stay windy — these are average wind speeds. still some gusts round 30—40mph. quite a warm feeling, muggy day out there, despite the cloud and wind, and it gets windier still for some of us, overnight saturday into sunday.
2:30 pm
hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. more than 50 countries are to be named by the uk government, from which visitors and returning holiday—makers from england won't have to quarantine on arrival. 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. borisjohnson warns people to act responsibly when pubs re—open and many other coronavirus restrictions are eased in england tomorrow. new figures reveal nearly 20,000 care home residents died in england and wales between march 2nd and june 12th. a woman has been jailed for life for planning to blow herself up in an attack

of the worst virus outbreaks. england all—rounder sam curran has tested negative for coronavirus following testing at the ageas bowl. curran was unwell during england's intra squad warm up match ahead of the test series ahainst west indies, and has been self isolating. however, he will now return to training in the next couple of days and will be closely monitored by the team doctor. the league one playoffs get under way this evening. it's the only football being played at that level following the decision to end their season. portsmouth host 0xford in their semifinal, kicking off at 5.30. portsmouth, who won the fa cup as a premier league team in 2008, last played in the championship eight years ago. the other semifinal sees fleetwood against wycombe later tonight. they are managed byjoey barton. we don't fear anybody, we are ready to rock and roll, as i say the team
2:33 pm
that beats us will be a good side. if wycombe better us over the two leg, you know, we will shake all the hands and wish them nothing but the best for the final, because as i say it will take a phenomenal team and a great collective team performance to better us over two legs. manchester united are enjoying one of the best runs in the premier league — they're unbeaten in 15 games in all competitions, eighth in the league, going into their match at home to bournemouth tomorrow. since the lockdown, they've had comfortable wins over brighton and sheffield united, as well as a draw at tottenham. we are feeling confident, we are feeling in good form. they should be, because they have worked so hard over the lockdown period, and they are just getting their sharpness and fitness and match fitness back. and of course, when you perform like you have done, sheffield united, brighton games, i thought they were really good. so they should be confident.

israel folau has signed a new deal with catala ns dragons, keeping him in super league until the end of 2021. folau reverted back to playing league at the start of this year in the wake of his sacking by rugby australia for posting homophobic comments on social media. he made three appearances for catalans before the coronavirus shutdown. the headline sponsor of the washington redskins, fedex, has asked them to change their controversial name. the american football team has faced repeated calls to change its name, which is considered offensive to native americans. fedex owns the naming rights to its playing fields in maryland. in the past, the team's owner dan snyder has remained steadfast on keeping the name, calling it a "badge of honour". andy murray may be brilliant at tennis, but he's absolutely shocking at drawing.
2:35 pm
ahead of a special bbc programme, looking back at his greatest moments, the former wimbledon champion's been telling us about the challenges of home schooling. it's been rough for me, because they're always asking me to draw things for them, you know, "draw me a dog," so you can colour it in, "draw us a house," and i mean, i'm horrendous, and it's, it's, it's pretty embarrassing, you know, when a four—year—old and a two—year—old are telling you, "that's rubbish, daddy," you know, "that's rubbish, that's not a dog, that doesn't look like a dinosaur," or whatever, and yeah, i have to agree with them, because they are right. that's all the sport for now. jane. i can't draw either but i can't play tennis very well, so he is still ahead of the game to be fair.
2:36 pm
we are going to talk a bit about travel. we are going to talk a bit about travel. people in scotland are now allowed to travel more than five miles from their home, and stay in self—contained holiday accommodation like cottages and caravans. it's come as welcome news to people who work in the industry — and for anyone hoping for a staycation this summer. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon has been meeting some of them. the breathtaking beauty never went away during lockdown, etch while the visitors did. loch lomond and the trossachs is one of the most popular tourist destination in scotland. four many people travel here every year, from today, some of them can stay again. self—catering is leading the way in being allowed to open back up. fiona campbell owns two holiday cottages and has spent the last few days getting them ready. there is a massive spike of interest as soon as it was made aware, people are desperate to go away. they are desperate to go away. they are desperate to go away. they are
