and the pilot announced it and everyone was just cheering. we couldn't believe it. british holidaymakers‘ plans have been thrown into chaos — with some cancelling their trips, or deciding to stay in spain for longer. from my experience, everywhere‘s taking the response a lot more seriously here. so i might as well stay here if coming back to the uk is going to be a lot more logistically difficult. hurricane hanna makes landfall in southern texas — with us officials warning of a life—threatening storm surge, strong winds and heavy rains. today marks a real step forward for crowds returning to live sporting events. 1000 fans will be here at the oval to watch a test event for cou nty the oval to watch a test event for county cricket.

hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. we are covering all the very latest coronavirus developments here in britain and globally. first to spain, where authorities are insisting their country is safe for tourists. that is despite new quarantine measures for uk people who travel there. the foreign office has advised against all non—essential travel to mainland spain. but the canary and balearic islands are exempt — which means you could still go on your holiday there. but all travellers returning from spain — into the uk — must enter a 14—day quarantine. the new ruling means the travel plans of thousands of people could be thrown into chaos. paul hawkins reports. and it reports. pa: face coverings are required at all times. manchester airport saw some of the last flight arriving from spainjust minutes before the midnight deadline. these women had brought forward their departure

to avoid quarantine. it was crazy. it all happened so quickly. no—one knows what's going on in there. it's mad, isn't it? yeah, we were supposed to come back on monday and we just got the next flight home. how do you feel about the fact you've just missed that deadline by 30 minutes? i'm glad. i can't stay in for two weeks. so, yeah, happy days. the news will come as a bitter blow to tens of thousands of british holiday—makers already in spain and those planning to head there soon. this couple have already made a decision not to travel. although we could go on the holiday, because we'd booked holidays, we can't come back and then stay in the 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. the new foreign office advice comes in the wake of rising coronavirus infections in parts of spain, especially in catalonia and neighbouring aragon and navarre. the government said difficult choices had to be made. whenever a decision is made,

there will always be people who have just left the uk. there are always people behind and in front of the line. so there is no magic time at which to do this. the thing that we have to do is do it as soon as we are certain about the data and feel certain that it is time to act. and we take the advice from thejoint biosecurity centre very seriously indeed. and we don't delay when those signals come in. the advice against all—but—essential travel applies only to mainland spain. but everyone returning from any part of the country will have to self—isolate for two weeks. the level of infection is lower in some parts of spain. the regional governments of the canaries and the balearic islands are asking to be excluded from the need to quarantine. the tour operator tui has cancelled its flights to spain — other airlines are continuing to operate for the time being. the aircraft 0perators association

said the government should look urgently at the possibility of testing as an alternative to quarantine. this news will have a devastating effect more widely on confidence in foreign travel. if spain now, where next? andy moore, bbc news. the uk shadow health secretary jonathan ashworth has been talking about the decision to impose those quarantine restrictions on travellers arriving from spain into the uk, and he criticised the way the uk, and he criticised the way the government made the decision. their way in which this decision has been made in the last 2a hours is, frankly, shambolic. there are holiday—makers in spain at the moment confused and distressed. there are people about to go on holiday to spain and the islands like tenerife who are confused. they don't know whether their employers will allow them to take two weeks' quarantine. the government just

saying we hope employers cooperate, to be frank, i hope i win the lottery on saturday but it doesn't mean it will happen. we need clarity from government now as to whether those who have to quarantine, whether they will get financial supportive their employers refuse it them and we need clarity for those holiday—makers currently in spain who are confused and distressed. jonathan ashworth, labour's health spokesman. 0ur news correspondent guy hedgecoe joins us now from madrid. what is the reaction there in spain to this decision? because of course the spanish tourist industry, the spanish economy, it is usually reliant on british tourists coming to spain. that's right. the spanish foreign ministry has said it respect this decision by the uk government and that it is maintaining contact with the uk authorities on this issue. but it has also said that spain isa issue. but it has also said that spain is a safe place to visit and that any outbreaks of coronavirus in

the country i very much a localised and very much under control. it was very keen to underline that point. but this comes as numbers of cases have been rising over the last few days, the last couple of weeks. we have seen for example in the north—east region of catalonia the closure of all nightclubs there for the next two weeks. that's because the next two weeks. that's because the local authorities there are worried about the spread of contagion among younger people. clearly this is going to have a big impact on the tourism sector. british visitors tend to make up around one quarter of the total of foreign visitors to spain each year. the british market is the single biggest market for the spanish tourism industry. this is a huge blow for the spanish tourism industry and it comes when the industry and it comes when the industry was already reeling after the early part of the tourism season was completely wiped out, basically. the hope was that spain could have

something like a normal peak season injuly and something like a normal peak season in july and august something like a normal peak season injuly and august and that clearly is not going to happen now. that clearly is going to have an impact on the broader spanish economy, as well. thank you very much. 0ur news correspondent andy moore is at gatwick airport near london for us this morning. people who will be coming back into gatwick from spain today, this decision of course has taken british tourists who have been in spain by surprise. that's right. i think eve ryo ne surprise. that's right. i think everyone knew that these air bridges may open up and others may close down but i don't think anybody expected it to happen in the space of just expected it to happen in the space ofjust a expected it to happen in the space of just a couple expected it to happen in the space ofjust a couple of hours. so this decision has taken a lot of people by surprise, a lot of people coming back into the uk, and those going off to spain who will have difficult decisions to make. so the carrier tui has cancelled all its flights to

spain. they were supposed to be one to malaga this morning from gatwick, that will not be happening. easyjet, theirflight to that will not be happening. easyjet, their flight to malaga took off. british airways are also continuing to run their flights for the time being. and most of the travel updaters and the airlines, obviously a lot of disappointment —— micro operators and the airlines, a lot of disappointed. some my saying, why are you closing down for the entire country when there are a lot of regional differences, as we were hearing, in spain at? the governments of the canary islands and the balearic islands are trying to getan and the balearic islands are trying to get an exemption from this decision that british holiday—makers should go into quarantine. also worth mentioning that this is a uk wide decision. sometimes the devolve government going different directions but this decision applies in scotland, wales, northern ireland and england. so everybody returning to the uk from spain will have to go into this very quarantine for two

weeks. they are not supposed to take public transport if at all possible to get to their destination, and once they are there they cannot even go out to exercise for an hour or two every day. 0k, thank you very much indeed. bbc news reporter briony sowden is on holidays in lanzarote, in the canary islands. a lovely place to be on holiday but 110w a lovely place to be on holiday but now you have to quarantine when you come back. what are you a reaction? it was very unexpected. i didn't actually expect the news yesterday. so now, like many others, i will have to quarantine. i was expected in the office tomorrow but that is no longer the case. the bill eric islands and the canary islands, anyone travelling here can still come on holiday —— back at the balearic islands. but they will have to quarantine on the way back. are you travelling back today or

tomorrow? i am travelling back today, this evening. so will again be caught out by this two—week quarantine. i have to say, though, life here, everyone has been super vigilant. it has been very well policed. every time you walk into a shop you have to wear a mask, wash your hands with hand sanitiser. all the tour operators i've been on, i've been on a sailing boat, that was running at 50% capacity so people could be socially distant. we had to again wear a mask and that was outside. it has been very well policed, which is why it has taken so policed, which is why it has taken so many people by surprise you. also it has had very few cases on the island here. it is pretty much a lower risk place to be. so, yeah, life here, it's been lovely to be on holiday but everyone is in good spirits and sticking by the rules. good spirit, but the fact this was quite a last—minute announcement has taken everybody quite a last—minute announcement has ta ken everybody by quite a last—minute announcement has taken everybody by surprise. is that

irritating or angering british tourists there with you? actually, i have to say that the site i am on has been mostly local tourist, people choosing to staycation. i've spoken to a couple from barcelona, students, these europe holidays are very different. they see more of the country they love. 0nly very different. they see more of the country they love. only a few tourist who i have met, and of course that will effect them hugely. they will have to go into quarantine. i think the island economy here, there is massive tourism from all over mainland europe. people will still come here from germany, but this will hit them hard, the british tourists will not be coming. but there will still be spaniards coming and hopefully elsewhere in europe. good to speak to you. safe journey home and safe quarantine. briony sowden, who is on

holiday in la nza rote. simon calder is the travel editor of the independent and joins me now from gatwick airport. what's the implications of this for the travel industry? we were talking to guy, and for the spanish tourist industry, is well. starting with the uk travel industry, the word i have had more than any other talking to people, trying to run airlines and companies, is that this is absolutely devastating. in the very short term there will be a hit of tens of millions of pounds. for example, tui, the biggest holiday company in britain, has cancelled its package holidays to spain from today. that will, i presume, apply for the next couple of weeks, then they will have rolling cancellations thereafter, the phones will be red—hot for the big travel companies. but it is the longer term issues that people are particularly worried about in travel because

this, coming withjust worried about in travel because this, coming with just a few hours' notice, means, as you've been reporting, that hundreds of thousands of people currently enjoying holidays in spain will need to go straight on from the airport, stay home for two weeks, you are not allowed to go out to walk the dog. you are only allowed out, in fact, for essential shopping if there is no other way of getting it, owed to go to court or heaven forbid a funeral. none of those people signed up funeral. none of those people signed upfor funeral. none of those people signed up for that. word in the travel industry is that people will be just very, very anxious, very stressed, and will not want to commit because it's been described as the martini menace. quarantine could happen anytime, anyplace, anywhere. people have been critical of the decision of the government on this and the fa ct of the government on this and the fact it was pretty short notice. at the same time, the deputy chief medical officer for england is saying there is no magic timing with these things. 0nce

saying there is no magic timing with these things. once you get the statistics from spain on the number of new cases, you have to make that decision whether it upsets people are not. yes, but the real anger in the travel industry is aimed at the difference between what the foreign 0ffice difference between what the foreign office says, which is go to the balearic islands, minorca, majorca, beaver, and the canary islands, and thatis beaver, and the canary islands, and that is absolutely fine. we are not advising against travel there. yet the foreign office, the department for transport, says it doesn't matter if you have been to one of the islands where they have extremely low infection rates, you will still have to quarantine. there is an assertion going round that the passenger locator form that you have to fill in is actually only applicable if you are... tojust have countries. it doesn't have different parts of countries. it may be simply that the it isn't working properly. at the moment you have the extraordinary situation of people

being on safer holidays abroad on these islands with low infection rates than they would be in the uk, but when they come back to the uk they are going to have to stay at home. anybody arriving that has been meeting the first flight in from barcelona which came in about half an hourago, barcelona which came in about half an hour ago, everybody on that flight an hour ago, everybody on that flight has to go straight home and they are simply astonished that this has happened and, of course, whether you have work commitments, family commitments, it's extraordinarily disruptive and i'm afraid it is not covered by insurance. simon, good to talk to you. the headlines on bbc news... anyone arriving in the uk from spain now has to quarantine for two weeks because of a spike in cases there. the short notice change came into force at midnight in the uk. some british tourists rushed to get home. that change came into force at

midnight in the uk. it has thrown a british holiday makers' plans into chaos. in the us, hurricane hanna it makes la ndfall in the us, hurricane hanna it makes landfall in southern texas. 0fficial wa nt landfall in southern texas. 0fficial want one of a life—threatening storm surge and strong winds. —— officials warn of a life—threatening storm surge. prescriptions for cycling are set to be included in the uk government's plans to tackle obesity in england. full measures will be set out tomorrow, and are expected to include a 12—week plan to encourage people to lose weight, and a ban onjunk food tv adverts before 9pm. it comes after public health england found being overweight puts people at greater risk from coronavirus. french media are reporting that a 39—year—old man has admitted setting off a fire that ravaged the 15th—century cathedral in the city of nantes last weekend. the rwandan national — who worked as a volunteer warden — was in charge of closing

the cathedral on the eve of the fire. he's now been arrested. 0ur correspondent hugh schofield is in paris. tell schofield is in paris. us more about the effects of the tell us more about the effects of the fire and this arrest. the effects of the fire are clear. it totally destroyed the historic organ and organ loft in the cathedral. 17th—century organ, priceless. that was totally destroyed. it also wrecked some other artworks on the walls of the cathedral, but luckily it not look as if the damage has extended to the structure of the building itself but they will spend months checking that out. interestingly, about 20 years ago, a bit more than that, there was another fire at the cathedral which destroyed the roof and it was replaced with a concrete structure, so there is no timber in the roof, which in a way protected it last week when this fire broke out. what has happened overnight is that this

rwandan man, a churchwarden effectively, had been initially suspect in the case because he was the person who had locked the cathedral up the night before, on the friday night, he had been put in the friday night, he had been put in the clear after being questioned for 24 the clear after being questioned for 2a hours and they were not regarding him asa 2a hours and they were not regarding him as a suspect after explaining his movements. that may have been a tactical statement from the press because one week later, yesterday, he was rearrested. they had time to check his alibis and he was taken before a magistrate and the man was relieved to come clean, that this had been weighing on him and he bitterly regretted what he had done. we don't know the circumstances, we don't know what question to do this. we do know he was 39—year—old man, rwandan refugee who had been in france for several years and had worked at the cathedral for years and was regarded with great friendship and trusted by the cathedral hierarchy. but whatever

his motivation, this man who, we could go, overnight set of three fires in different places in the cathedral. 0ne under the big organ, to others at some distance from that point, and it was the detection of there being three separate starting point that was the clue to police that this was a criminal act. thank you very much indeed for bringing us up you very much indeed for bringing us up to date. the first hurricane of this year's atlantic storm season has hit the coast of southern texas. hurricane hanna — with heavy rainfall and winds of 120 kilometres an hour — has struck coastal areas south of the city of corpus christi. residents in some communities have been told to leave their homes and take a supply of facemasks with them. sophia tran—thomson has the latest. hurricane hanna was upgraded from a tropical storm to a hurricane on saturday. with wind speeds of around 120 kilometres an hour, it could bring storm surges of up to two metres. i've been keeping in contact with my mum and we've,

like, gassed up our truck and stuff like that so that if anything occurs, we can, like, take off, like, somewhere safer, so right now, we're just waiting to hear how worse it's going to get or if it's just going to stay like this, so we're praying for the best. preparing for the hurricane has been further complicated by the coronavirus pandemic. the us is struggling to keep the virus under control, and texas has so far recorded over 375,000 cases. several communities have been evacuated, and the governor has issued a disaster declaration. do not in haste take action that could cause you, a family member or loved one to lose their life in the coming weeks to covid—19 by disregarding all of these practices that we've become accustomed to using, such as wearing a face mask as you respond to covid—19,

maintaining distance where possible and, most importantly, avoid gatherings of more than just a few family members. in a storm season which forecasters say could be one of the most active in recorded history because of abnormally warm water and other climate conditions, concern is mounting as hurricane hanna is expected to move inland and into north—eastern mexico. sophia tran—thomson, bbc news. here in the uk a significant step towards the return of crowds to live sport will be taken today, when the 0val cricket ground in london welcomes 1,000 fans back for a two—day men's county cricket friendly between surrey and middlessex. there'll be more pilots next week at birmingham's edgbaston and sheffield's crucible theatre, to name a few, as the british government prepares for a widening of spectator capacities this autumn.

let's get reaction to this and speak to the professional cricketer azeem rafiq. thank you for being with us. a huge step. what does it mean for cricket in particular to have crowds back in? good morning. ithink it is in particular to have crowds back in? good morning. i think it is a pretty good step towards normality, really. english summer without cricket is something weird for all of us. having a crowd back will bring a lot of smiles to faces and it will help the players get back to some sort of normality. when you have a crowd, and a big crowd, when it is capacity, what does that do to you as a player? do you actually play differently, do you think?|j think play differently, do you think?” think everyone is different but, yeah, ithink think everyone is different but, yeah, i think a lot of people get used to playing in front of big crowds and itjust gets you up for it and get you going that little bit more, especially when the chips are down. especially the england players will have found it really difficult

sometimes playing in front of no crowd because they are used to playing in front of 20,000, 30,000. i think it can be really weird, but it is nice to see that we are starting to take small steps towards normality and welcome the crowds back. people love county cricket and it will be a good step forward. just playing cricket, how good does that feel for you? yeah, playing cricket, how good does that feelfor you? yeah, we had our first league matches and it was nice to get back out there. like i said, for as long as i've known it, the summers have meant being out on a cricket field, being at a cricket ground, playing cricket. these last few months i think have been really difficult for everyone, really. it is nice to see we're heading towards some sort of normality. good luck to you for the season, and thanks very much for talking to azeem rafiq, lincolnshire county cricket club cricketer. thank you. the queen has completed

another first of her reign due to the lockdown — this time conducting a "virtual unveiling" of a new portrait of her. it was commissioned by the uk foreign office as a tribute to her service to diplomacy, and was painted by the artist miriam escofet. although nothing escapes her majesty's attention — during the unveiling she was quick to point out that the teacup featured in the painting had no tea in it. you can just see you canjust see it you can just see it there. you canjust see it there. maybe you can just see it there. maybe she had drunk it all! let's bring you some live pictures now from st petersburg for russia's navy day parade, showcasing the might of the russian military. it showcases the might of the russian navy. it is going to involve 46 ships, boats and submarines, 42 aircraft and over 4000 personnel. it isa aircraft and over 4000 personnel. it is a big display of russian military might ata is a big display of russian military might at a time when russia and

president putin, of course, under scrutiny again for their role in global politics. that is the russian navy day parade. you are watching bbc news. a teenager from cumbria in north west england has unearthed a piece of wartime history which has caused ripples on the other side of the world. max hazlehurst was looking for wildlife, when he found an australian airman's dog tag from the second world war. he's since tracked down the owner's family, as peter marshall reports. it's a walk max hazlehurst will never forget. the 13—year—old was searching for bugs and snakes on black combe fell in the lake district when he discovered something rather special. the path gets really rocky and there was... i maybe saw about that much of it. so i picked it up and i thought. . . maybe thinking it was a dog collar or something like that, and then i saw the actual tag bit, which had the name on.

he had found a second world war dog tag — or military identification label — thought to have been lost up here in the 1940s. max and his family put the details on social media and soon discovered it belonged to ernie wills — a warrant officer with the royal australian air force. oh, i was pretty amazed, to be fair. i wasn't expecting to find that when i came up here. max also discovered ernie's surviving family who live near perth in australia, and the story has reverberated around the globe. three australian sisters have told of their disbelief after a piece of their family's wartime history was uncovered on a mountain in northern britain. the fact he showed his mum and his mum has put it on facebook... as you can see, we are emotional, but we are very, very excited. today, max had the chance to chat with one of ernie's grateful daughters. max, how on earth did you find that tag? i was just looking around —

i was looking for adders. you have made our family so happy. we are just beside ourselves. with excitement and tears and, you know, we are so proud of you. he loved... cos he was a geologist, loved spending time, a lot like you, i think, exploring the environment around him. that is why we think he would be so proud of you. sadly, ernie died at the age ofjust 43 in a car crash near alice springs. but thanks to a cumbrian schoolboy, his family now have another memory of him to treasure. it does feel quite good, to give them an end. just something for them to remember him by, yeah. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers

with our reviewers sian griffiths, education editor at the sunday times, and dawn foster, writer and broadcaster — that's coming up after the latest headlines and a full sport update. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. hello. we'll have a few of these scattered across the country today — shower clouds — but most of the time sunshine, i think, for many of us. temperatures will hover around the low 20s in the south of the country and the high teens in the north. all in all, a pretty decent day. and a fine sunset on the way, as well, with plenty of clear weather. and then the clouds once again thicken across western parts of the uk and by the end of the night, heavy rain will sweep into some areas. in fact, it could be a really wet start to the day across northern ireland, the northwest of england and also northern wales. but the northeast of scotland there, i think a clear night and a dry start to the day. so tomorrow, an unsettled day across most of the uk. the winds will freshen

across the south, as well. they could be up to gale force along some of these channel coasts and the southwest, too. but later in the day, the heaviest of the rain will clear out into the north sea and we'll end up getting some sunshine towards the evening. that's it from me — bye. hello, this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines... anyone arriving in the united kingdom from spain now has to quarantine for two weeks because of a spike in cases there. the short notice change came into force at midnight, some tourists rushed to get home. we was due to arrive about 20 past midnight, we were a bit lucky, we made it by two minutes, eve ryo ne lucky, we made it by two minutes, everyone was just cheering! lucky, we made it by two minutes, everyone wasjust cheering! could not believe it. british holiday—makers plans have been thrown into chaos with some cancelling their trips or deciding to stay in spain for longer. from my experience, everywhere is taking
