hello and welcome to bbc news. the spanish government has insisted the country is safe for tourists. it follows the uk's decision to ask anyone returning from spain to quarantine for two weeks. there has been a sharp increase in spanish coronavirus infections, with nearly 1,000 new cases in the last two days. the new ruling means the travel plans of thousands could be thrown into chaos. paul hawkins reports. preparing to board the last flight of the day from gran canaria to the uk, these are the first britons who will have to self—isolate for m days after holidaying in spain. we've known in theory that countries could lock down, that countries could go back on this corridor list of not been able to visit

without quarantine. but lots of people i've been here with thought that it was incredibly safe, haven't felt endangered, and were quite shocked at the idea that there's two weeks‘ quarantine when we get back. i am quite fortunate. i'm a teacher. oh, you're on holidays, then. there are plans that i had that i had to rearrange for two weeks. but my wife is with me. she works in the city, and she is going to have to quarantine. that will impact her, because she had been due to go into the office over the next couple of weeks, so she can't do that anymore. but the uk government has imposed the quarantine because of sharp increases in infections in catalonia, aragon and navarre, as well as other places. for that reason, the advice as of now from the foreign & commonwealth office is that all but essential travel to mainland spain should be avoided. tens of thousands of british tourists have booked holidays in spain. many are trying to work out what to do now, while others have already given up hope.

i'm a key worker, and james is working full—time, so we couldn't get back and then sort of have two weeks straight off work. that's not possible. so, although we could go on the holiday, because we've booked holidays, we can't come back and then stay in our house for two weeks. thatjust wouldn't be possible. so we can't then go on holiday, because we can't come back and quarantine for two weeks. some flights from the uk to spain have already been cancelled. what was hoped to be a big increase in tourism in the coming weeks now looks doomed. this is going to be absolutely devastating. there are tens of thousands of people who are booked to travel to spain tomorrow and in the next few days. effectively, nobody is going to be going on package holidays, that families up and down britain are going to be faced with this awful choice — well, we're not going to get money back from the airlines, ‘cause we haven't got a package holiday. what do we do? and of course, you've got hundreds of thousands of people, some of whom flew out today, who are now facing

the prospect of having to self—isolate for two weeks when they get home. tourism accounts for 11% of spain's economy, with britons making up a quarter of its tourists. that is why the canary islands government is seeking an exemption from the quarantine rules and the spanish government is stressing it has the situation under control. but, with flareups in germany and france, other countries could also find themselves subject to similar quarantine measures. valeriejoy wilson is a travel journalist and joins me now from los angeles. so this restriction in the uk, it came in with really not much warning at all, and it is applying to one of the most popular destinations for british tourists. i am just wondering, sort of on a global scale, is this the future of travel and holidays? this definitely could be the future of travel. it is difficult to say until we get rings under

control. but as long as we keep having these flareups, u nfortu nately having these flareups, unfortunately the travel industry is going to be unstable, and the governments are going to do what they need to do to keep citizens safe. so it isa to do to keep citizens safe. so it is a catch—22 right now, for everyone. and what other things that individual travellers can do to prepare for possible cancellation, last—minute changes? how prepared can people be? people can be very prepared. 0bviously people be? people can be very prepared. obviously if you booked before the pandemic even started, you are maybe in a little bit tougher of a situation. but it is important to have travel insurance, have a cancel for any reason part of your policy, and in addition to contacting your insurance and making sure that you are covered, because a lot of people are not covered for pandemic reasons, additionally you want to make sure you are booking flexible hotels, flexible flights, and just keeping in touch with the airline and the place that you are staying and making sure

that you are on top of all the latest information, so that you can arm yourself the best that you possibly can. u nfortu nately, you possibly can. unfortunately, you know, you have to stay on top of things right now, because the travel industry is just — it changes every couple of hours. it is not even every day, any more. absolutely, and you mentioned the travel industry there. we have seen businesses in that sector really struggle, go bust. thousands and thousands of layoffs. and of course, ironically, there is still demand. if anything, ironically, there is still demand. ifanything, people wa nt to demand. ifanything, people want to travel even more now. how are businesses adapting to this? '5 nurses are adapting by, well, first of all, businesses as far as hotels and airlines, they are doing all the different things that they can possibly do to be able to make tourists and travellers feel comfortable. i just in last night from mexico, one of the only places that us citizens are allowed to go to, and although we are seeing the numbers in mexico surging, in the state where i was in, quintana roo, where ken kern

is, it is a huge tourist area and they are very dependent on the tourism dollars coming in. so they are doing everything. they are spraying your shoes, they have sanitising mats, eve ryo ne they have sanitising mats, everyone is giving you sanitise at the moment you go in, whether it is going into your hotel, into your car serviced —— cancun. into a restaurant, oi’ —— cancun. into a restaurant, or even like a little gift shop, they are sanitising you. masks are required. you will see staff wearing masks and face shields, and airlines are doing similar, masks are required. and honestly i feel a lot safer, being from the us, where we are having issues with people wearing masks, ifeel a lot safer on an aeroplane where eve ryo ne lot safer on an aeroplane where everyone has one on than i do, you know, just walking around going to the grocery store, where people aren't necessarily following instructions. valerie, the world is changing right before our eyes, isn't it? thank you for your time, from los angeles this evening. india has recorded nearly a 100,000 new cases of coronavirus in just two days, taking the total number of people infected to over 1.3 three million.

that means that india now has the third—highest number of coronavirus cases in the world. reged ahmad reports. india's coronavirus case numbers have been going up steadily. it now has more than 1 million registered infections, the third—highest case numbers in the world. some days have seen record surges. the chief minister of the state of madhya pradesh has announced he is one of those new cases. taken to hospital in a motorcade, he posted on twitter that he had been admitted after testing positive, but was healthy, and urged people to wear masks and follow social distancing rules. india has been trying to deal with its spike in case numbers by implementing sporadic local lockdowns in some areas. it initially had a wider, strict lockdown, but the devastating economic and human cost forced it to ease restrictions.

as it reopened and increased testing, case numbers surged. the reality of the spread of covid—19 hit home when a family described as bollywood royalty tested positive. aishwarya rai bachchan, her daughter and husband, along with her father—in—law — both men also famous — were taken to hospital. the news sent shock waves around the country. but india's death toll has remained relatively low compared to its case numbers. the country is reporting a high recovery rate. some of it has been put down to under—reporting of deaths, but it doesn't explain the whole picture. it has experts perplexed, although they do warn the worst is yet to come. reged ahmad, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news: the first hurricane of the atlantic season has reached land in southern texas. hurricane hanna, with wind speeds of around 120 km/h, could bring storm surges

of up to two metres. thousands of protesters have returned to the streets of khabarovsk in russia's far east region to challenge the leadership of president putin. it is the third saturday in a row that protestors have taken to the streets in support of a popular local governor who has been arrested by the authorities. opponents of the spanish royal family have protested in madrid as concern grows about the financial dealings of former king juan carlos. the prime minister, pedro sanchez, has admitted that he is disturbed by reports of suspected money laundering. the supreme court is investigating the allegations. millions of american workers are at risk of losing vital unemployment benefits unless congress acts to extend legislation. the benefits programme known as the cares act was designed to help those suddenly unemployed due to coronavirus. however, that support officially ends this coming friday 31 july, with final payments sent out this weekend.

prior to the bill, the average american claiming unemployment support received $383 a week. the bill gave each individual an extra $600 a week on top of what they already received. the bill also extended support to those who would otherwise not be covered by normal benefits. an estimated 32 million americans will loose out if that support expires. economistjeffrey sachs from columbia university is the new chair of the lancet covid—19 commission. he gave his reaction to the economic handling of the covid crisis. we're in an extraordinary crisis in the united states because the control of the pandemic has — from the federal level has been basically non—existent. so the us

is the country with the absolutely surging pandemic. because of that, the economy is not recovering, and because of that, people need help. in fact, the whole economy is really in another significant downturn as the pandemic surges. the republican party wasn't ready for this. trump in his kind of delusional way thought this was all going to be gone by now. that was the game plan, although there was no real strategy of control. and now they're scrambling to come up with something. they're concerned that if they're too generous, that people won't go back to work, and they want to show the numbers of people going back to work. but in the end, they're going to have to extend these benefits. this is certainly the case. it is notjust money

in people's pockets so people can pay rent and bills and things like that. there is also a wider impact on consumption, isn't there? right now unemployment is at double—digit levels. we don't even know exactly the numbers, because the measurement has been very difficult and in some ways flawed. but certainly the unemployment rate in actuality is somewhere around 15% of the labour force. there are 25 or 30 million people that depend on benefits right now in order to be able to subsist. and the economy's not going to get better anytime soon, given the flareup, the massive flareup, of more than 70,000 new cases per day. this is a very serious matter, obviously. every country in the world that fails to control the pandemic, it basically faces the same reality. the economy can't recover, incomes are lost,

and people are pushed into desperation and destitution — even in wealthy countries, but consider the poor countries, of course, where it's even more dramatic. a memorial service for the american civil rights icon john lewis has been held in his hometown of troy, alabama. he died last week of pancreatic cancer at the age of 80. mr lewis was one of the ‘big six‘ civil rights leaders, which included martin luther king jr. he helped organise the historic march on washington in 1963 and served as atlanta's democratic congress member for 33 years. i think about one of my father's quotes. he used to say that the ultimate measure of a human being is not where they stand in times of comfort and convenience, but where one stands in times of challenge and controversy. but the ultimate measure was, is it right? that's whojohn lewis was. he always did that which was

right, from his heart. this is bbc news. the headlines: travellers returning to the uk from spain will have to self—isolate for two weeks as the country is removed from the travel corridors exemption list due to covid—19. india records nearly 100,000 new cases of covid—19 in two days. a chief minister is one of those testing positive. poland is taking the first steps to withdraw from a european treaty aimed at preventing violence against women. that's because — according to the country's justice minister — the treaty undermines what he describes as the traditional family model. on friday thousands of people, mostly women, protested in cities across the country. from warsaw, adam easton, reports. poland's justice minister said the government's opposition to the convention is ideological. it does not oppose its aim to combat violence against women.

mr ziobro said the convention wants to force schoolchildren to learn about gender, it promotes lgbt issues, he said, and unfairly blames religion for causing domestic violence. translation: in this area of combating violence against women, there is our agreement and full acceptance of the provisions of the convention, but there are also provisions of an ideological nature in this convention which we do not accept and which we consider harmful. poland doesn't need this convention, he said, because polish law is sufficient to prevent violence against women. on friday, thousands of people — mostly women — demonstrated against the government's plan in cities across the country. in warsaw, people protested outside the offices

of a conservative legal group that opposes the convention. many held placards saying "women's strike", a movement that successfully blocked the group's plan to introduce a total ban on abortion several years ago. translation: yes, i know people who have experienced domestic violence. even i've experienced it in some form, but i only recently realised this because domestic violence is not always physical or sexual. so, yes, i do know victims of abuse. i think we need a discussion about domestic abuse, but not like this, going out on the street and yelling. we need to actually discuss what we can do about it. many countries in this region have not ratified the convention. slovakia and bulgaria rejected it over fears it undermines traditionalfamilies. the authors of the convention, the human rights watchdog the council of europe, say conservative and religious groups are spreading false narratives. it does not seek to impose a certain lifestyle on people, they say, nor does it include a definition of a family. adam easton, bbc news, warsaw. the veteran american television presenter, regis philbin, has died at the age of 88.

mr philbin was the most prolific presenter in the history of american tv, spending more hours in front of the camera than any other television personality. he's best known for hosting the us version of who wants to be a millionaire and the long—running morning show live with regis and kathie lee, which later became live with regis and kelly. tany hart, host of hollywood live with tanya hart on american urban radio network, paid tribute to the broadcaster. first of all, i have do my condolences go out tojoy and the family. but wow, what a guy. he had that smile and personality that just eclipsed everything. you know, he actually started his career parking cars for the local tv station here in los angeles, this is where he started. 1955, i believe, and he went on again, as you said, to log the most hours every in the guinness world book of records of television presenter and television host was that he had the longest.

and i don't think anyone has beaten him since then. we still have to catch up to regis. but he was such a personality. he also created, kind of a style that many of us who have come along since him have picked up on. and it was a star where he would interview people, is a good listener. and he taught everybody you have to be a good listener. and that way came very spontaneously, at least it seemed that way, when you asking questions. which is what he did. i had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time, believe it or not, at a christmas party. merv and regis, the two of them for american television, it doesn't get any better than that. and i have to tell you, i was absolutely in order. this was when i first came to los angeles, it's been a long, long time now. but merv was my christmas parties were legendary, and that's where i first met regis, and wow. ijust — the other thing

about him as he looked really good. he enjoyed celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary in march or april, just a couple of months ago, and he was out and about before that and he looked great. somebody his age, i honestly didn't know how old he was, but he looked really, really good. what a loss. i'm so sorry for everybody. i'm sorry to interrupt. just reading some of the quotes from interviews he gave over the years. he was quite candid about basically being a bit unhappy, that he didn't make the big time until later in his career. right. he did say that. i think it's — you know, that's because — i always thought of him as big—time, honestly, because i grew watching him on tv and following that path. but because he came along with guys like — he started out

on thejoey bishop show, and he came along with guys like merv griffin, and the guys who really did that daytime tv really well. but the one thing about regis philbin, he was ahead of his time. he was one of the first daytime talk hosts to add a female, kathie lee. they took it in to the 21st century, would you have to give him credit for that. do you think we will see anyone else like him? fame and celebrity seems so short—lived now. popularity for a short period of time. i think his time on television was actually 60 plus years, something like that know, nobody is going to last that long these days. television may not last that long at this point! but, no, these guys, they came along at a time when television was in its infancy, really. and they brought it into what we call the golden era of television, and now we have gone into the other

digital phase of the business. but, no, they don't really make people like that anymore. god bless him. tributes to the american broadcaster regis philbin. the experience of lockdown in our cities has led many people to be much more aware of the problem of noise. after all that quiet and birdsong, the sound of engines and sirens seems all the more invasive. in paris, the authorities are taking the opportunity to step up their campaign against vehicles hugh schofield reports. motorbike revs. noisy motorbikes — an old problem in france, and getting worse. but here's the new anti—noise brigade of the paris police for once doing something about it. bikes that seem to loud are stopped. then, after a check with a decibel meter, those that are above the permitted level are given a fine.

translation: noise is a real nuisance for parisians, so we have decided to step up police checks in order to cut some levels in the public space. after confinement, noise is back on the agenda, and it's motorbikes and scooters in the firing line because they are what aggravates the public the most. this video shows noise levels and the number of people who are awoken when a bike crosses paris at night with an illegal adjusted exhaust. and how do you do that — adjust your exhaust? easy, according to mechanics. just take out the silencer. on small bikes, illegal exhausts give extra speed as well as creating a racket. on bigger bikes, it's really only about noise. translation: big engine, it's a big noise, no? it's the problem with electric bikes. they may have big engines but if they do not make the noise, how do you know they've got the power?

but it's notjust police patrols that are starting to clamp down on noise now. this is the prototype of the new system that should soon be rolled out across paris. it's a kind of noise radar, and eventually it will be able to impose fines automatically on vehicles that are too loud. the assembly of microphones can trace the source of a loud noise, and the camera feeds images back to the control centre. for now, data protection means they cannot use live video, but when it is running, the registration will be recorded and the offender punished. the team that developed the device agree the covid lockdown has given their cause a new impetus. translation: the human ear got used to the calm. it began to hear a whole range of sounds, from the very quiet to the very loud. then that whole dynamic

was suddenly stopped when lockdown ended. and the noise came back. through confinement, parisians had a taste of tranquillity. when attended, complaints about noise shot up. citydwellers, it seems, in their moment of time. —— miss their moment of time. —— miss their moments of calm. before we go, noise of a different kind. peter green, one of the co—founders of fleetwood mac, has died. he was 73. this is his instrumental single, albatross, the band's first uk number one. green formed fleetwood mac with the drummer mick fleetwood, in the late ‘60s, but left the group in1970. his former bandmate paid tribute saying green "blazed one hell of a musical road." peter green, who's died at the age of 73.

and you can read a full biography of him on the bbc news website. you can also reach me on twitter. i'm @aaronsafir. hello. after a saturday which brought us some torrential downpours, some thunderstorms, even a tornado, sunday is looking a little bit quieter by comparison. a lot more in the way of sunshine around for many of you. some will stay dry, but there'll still be a scattering of showers to hide from every now and again. and one or two showers have continued through the night into the first thing in the morning. a fresher feel, as well, but still temperatures in double figures. and with the sunshine on your back across england and wales, that won't feel too bad in particular. plenty of dry, bright weather here to begin with. a few isolated showers in the west in the morning, developing more widely into the afternoon. showery morning followed by a largely sunny afternoon for northern ireland, southern and eastern scotland. but more persistent rain will be arriving into the hebrides

later on, and it's here where winds will strengthen to gale—force. elsewhere, though, more of a breeze around compared with what we saw through saturday. temperatures will have dropped, but don't forget — with a bit more sunshine and strong july sunshine on your back at that, it shouldn't feel too bad, around 17—23 degrees. coolest of all, though, in the north—west of scotland, where the strong winds, heavy rain will continue into the first part of the night. after a dry start to the night elsewhere, though, cloud and rain will develop in england and wales to take us into the monday will develop in england and wales to take us into the monday morning rush—hour. temperatures climbing again. could be down to single figures, though, to start the day across parts of scotland and northern ireland. so, a cool start to the week here. but here's the chart that shows what's happening through sunday night into monday. outbreaks of rain comes from this weather system. now, a little bit of uncertainty how close that'll get to northern ireland and southern scotland. it does look like we'll see some wet weather for a time, but that should ease for northern ireland later. heaviest of the rain, most persistent of the rain in northern and western parts of england, as well as across wales. the rain fairly showery towards the south—east, and it's across the south

and east where we see the strongest of the winds, touching gale—force for one or two. temperatures, well down again on we'll see on sunday. and given the fact there'll be cloud and rain for many, too, it is going to feel distinctly cool. and a cooler feel as we go into the middle part of the week. that weather system clears out during monday night. tuesday allows a north—westerly flow to develop, coming all the way from the north atlantic. bringing a few showers across northern and western areas. varying amounts of cloud, driest and brightest further south and east you are, but when you're out of the sunshine, a noticeable chill. temperatures for many sitting in the teens throughout. that cooler feel continues into wednesday, too. we could see rain return to scotland and northern ireland through thursday and friday. but further south and east, could we see the return of some summer warmth with temperatures approaching 30 degrees?
