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? 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 operators 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? speaking on sky news, dominic raab defended the government's decision to give just defended the government's decision to givejust a defended the government's decision to give just a few hours notice of the imposition of this quarantine. we must be able to gauge the data in real time, which we did, the date on friday, then take decisive action. if we suddenly say we are not quite sure, we give vague advice, it will create more uncertainty. and there isa create more uncertainty. and there is a cut—off with changes in rules and advice we give so i appreciate that's difficult and can be disruptive but it would be far worse to muddy the waters or hold back and delay from taking the measures when we need to take them, and the reason

this was taken at reasonably short notice is because of the spike in spain that we have responded to. we we re spain that we have responded to. we were following that and that is where it happened so it was the real—time response, the data from spain, that we had to respond to very swiftly. let's talk to our business correspondent katie austen at gatwick airport with the very latest reactions. yes, it's not long ago that i was stood here earlier this month speaking about the blanket quarantine restrictions imposed by the uk government being eased, a list of exemptions being brought out where people could arrive back and not have to quarantine for 14 days. that initially included spain although scotland didn't allow people to be exempt from quarantine initially coming back from spain. however, that led to a lot of people thinking it now is the time we can finally book a summer holiday again, know that there was this list of travel exemptions, sorry, quarantine

exemptions, and spain was an extreme the popular choice for many people. now the uk government has changed its position on that following this indication that there has been a surge in cases in spain and passengers who were only given a few hours' notice told us here as they flew out this morning they were very frustrated by the short notice change. when we originally booked it was about four months ago and it has been changed five times since. this is our fifth attempt at going out so pretty annoying. i had all the changes two hours ago. pretty annoying. i had all the changes two hours agolj pretty annoying. i had all the changes two hours ago. i got an update on my phone from easyjet last night andl update on my phone from easyjet last night and i was a bit worried because i thought flight had been cancelled so we just didn't know, we still don't know now. i think the flight still don't know now. i think the flight has to go ahead. this is very difficult news for businesses in the travel and tourism industry to hear because they have had a terrible few months with

travel restrictions in place and they were just hoping now that there might bea they were just hoping now that there might be a summer holiday boom to start a very slow recovery. easyjet and british airways, fake airlines flying out to spain, have both said they are disappointed by the change. neither of those cancelling flights yet, they are carrying on operating, although easyjet has said people who wish not to travel now can get in touch and look to change their flights or a voucher instead. tui has, in the last half hour, i'm told, announced that it is going to be cancelling holidays from the uk to mainland spain up to and including the 9th of august and it has already cancelled some flights to mainland spain and ireland as well today. it's also brought a reaction from airlines uk which represents uk airlines. they say we

need to have a regional corridor system rather than the whole country so it's just sections of the country where spikes might be happening that you then kind of removal from the exemptions list and they have also said now is the time to think about having testing at uk airports which would mean people could then avoid the need to quarantine. a lot of holiday—makers will be wondering what happens to things like travel insurance now. because the foreign office advice has changed, they are advising against nonessential travel to mainland spain. that means if you booked a holiday now, it's very unlikely, or if you travel to that country, it's very unlikely your travel insurance would be valid so there's a lot to think about now for people who are looking to book holidays and it is likely to really affect the confidence of people who we re affect the confidence of people who were now looking to get away abroad. we can go to furtive

—— fuerteventura. how are you affected by this new rule? it has cut everybody off guard giving that the island doesn't have any cases. the situation with my return to the uk was based on my return to the uk so it was off—putting. it makes me confused as to what our government is actually looking at is the problem because the track and trace a system out here is excellent, we've got a very firm grip where the cases are and what's going on and to have a blanket effect across the all the islands doesn't fill me with confidence that the government are focusing on where the problems are. what you think about facing two weeks of quarantine? i'm due back on

the 3rd of august and facing two weeks of quarantine for me would necessarily be the end of the world. it's an inconvenience but it's necessarily be the end of the world. it's an inconvenience but its two weeks in front of the telly or reading a book. it's not really going to affect me but the impact is people over here is trying to get open for the ist of august. people over here is trying to get open for the 1st of august. some people have said this decision was taken by the government, it was quite last minute, it has taken everybody by surprise, maybe they should have been a bit of warning, but the foreign secretary has been saying, they have to have the power to make real—time decisions given the data that has just come to them from spain. that's right. these are the decisions i think everybody wa nted the decisions i think everybody wanted to see months ago when the state i was coming from spain originally to tackle the outbreak at the source. this is so much down the line in the country where spain does

have the figures, the track and trace that they have here is individual so they are saying, this individual so they are saying, this individual has come from this place and infected this many people. in the uk, we are still saying, this region has raised infections. you must be able to make those decisions, but toblanket i country 700 miles from mainland spain doesn't feel like a very positive approach. —— to blanket a country. joe o'reilly on holiday in fuerteve ntu ra. joe o'reilly on holiday in fuerteventura. we can talk now to rory borland, the editor of consumer rights magazine which and joins us from east london. what do you make of this government announcement?

many say it was the right thing to do. anybody who books a holiday at the moment goes into it with their eyes wide open that there may be disruption of this sort. we know that the list will be updated and will change. however, it is extraordinary that the government did not take this decision 48 hours ago, 24 hours ago. before tens of thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands, jetted off to spain just as the school summer holidays broke up. it's almost certain that many of them would not have travelled if they had known they would require quarantine when they returned. it puts many people in frankly an impossible position because when they return, they will contact their employer and say, the rules have changed, i've got to quarantine for 14 days. many employers will not be sympathetic to that so if you are in a position where the employer says, you will lose yourjob if you don't come in, the government says you've got to quarantine, what do you do? that is the fault of the government,

the decision should have been taken earlier. dominic raab was saying they have to be able to take real—time decisions. the data only came into them on friday, the data from spain. they had looked at that date and decided immediately on the quarantine programme. absolutely the government has to make these decisions but has dominic raab said, they had the date on friday and some european countries made their decisions on friday but it is impossible for holiday—makers to have any confidence in booking holidays if the government is going to announce new quarantine measures at eight o'clock on a saturday that come in at midnight. that's four hours notice. that's not sensible for anybody. it has to be in a more orderly manner so that people can plan what they are going to do with

their holidays. what about people saying there should be a more targeted response? in other words, targeting people coming from the areas of spain that have got quite high rates of infection. we were just talking to joe high rates of infection. we were just talking tojoe and he was saying they were hardly any cases they are. should have been a more targeted approach by the government? hopefully that is something the government will look at time we come to introducing quarantine measures in different countries. it's certainly the approach other european nations. belgium, for example, doesn't require uk residents to quarantine if they come to that country unless you come from leicester because we have a local lockdown there and certainly most of the cases in spain do seem to be centralised around catalonia, northern spain, in some areas that infection free. it would seem a more

sensible approach of the government would continue not to introduce testing at airports because in asia, where they have seen the most success , where they have seen the most success, is introducing testing for passengers arriving but at the moment we haven't heard any interest from the government in doing that. do you think the effect of this might be to say to people in britain who are thinking about a holiday this summer, do you know what, i'm just not going to go abroad, is not worth the risk, it's all very uncertain, there could suddenly be a quarantine on this or that country, so asa quarantine on this or that country, so as a stay at home? that's what the government did last night, it com pletely the government did last night, it completely undercut any confidence that the travel industry had slowly been building up for people to take holidays. as i said, you have to be aware when you are booking a holiday at the moment that this advice may change and things may be disrupted but to do so with four hours' notice is simply not good enough. people will now be really concerned about

booking holidays. how can you convince them to do so when it may be cancelled or you may be required to quarantine at the very last minute? the government has said that it is revisiting it regularly every three weeks to introduce new countries. i don't see why in stopping people going there could be dates for that as well, at least to give a little bit of notice, certainly more than four hours to holiday—makers before they jet certainly more than four hours to holiday—makers before theyjet off on holiday. rory will be back with us on bbc news later today answering your questions on what the new quarantine restrictions for those arriving in the uk from spain mean for you and your holiday plans. that's at 5:15pm. you can send in your

questions on the bbc website or twitter. the first hurricane of this year's atla ntic the first hurricane of this year's atlantic storm season has hit the coast of southern texas. it 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. 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—i9 by disregarding all of these practices that we've become accustomed to using, such as wearing a face mask as you respond to covid—i9, 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. more political reaction to the uk government announcement that anybody coming back into the uk from spain from now on will have to go into quarantine for two weeks. let's get some reaction from the shadow health secretaryjonathan some reaction from the shadow health secretary jonathan ashworth. a sensible precaution by the government? well, we understand why the government have had to make this decision. infection rates and increasing in spain as they are in other european countries and the estimate is that it is increasing here and one of the big blunders in march was for the government not to move quickly enough to quarantine those coming from spain, italy and

france because we now think that is how the virus came here so we understand the decision but the way in which it has been communicated in the last 24 hours is shambolic. this broke because it was leaked to a journalist, it broke on twitter last night and the government scrambles around to confirm it and the consequences that many families, holiday—makers who had saved all yearfor holiday—makers who had saved all year for their holiday—makers who had saved all yearfor theirfamily holiday—makers who had saved all year for their family holiday to spain are now left asking lots of questions. they are stressed, anxious, need to know from their employer if they have to isolate. this could have been handled so much better and we need advice and clarity for those people on how they are going to isolate, will they get support to isolate? how will their employers react? the government says they hope the employer will be sympathetic. well, i hope to win the lottery on saturday, it doesn't mean it's going to happen. we still need

greater clarity. dominic raab has been talking this morning saying this was a real—time decision, they got the data from spain on friday, they met on saturday afternoon and then immediately decided that there should be this quarantine plan and put it into effect. they can't take any risks, can they? as soon as they got the data they've got to make the decision. they can't take any risks but they could have communicated this decision properly on friday. they could have had a press conference on the friday, ministers are cleaning what was going on and what support would be available for those caught up in this because the data didn't dramatically change between friday and saturday or dramatically change between thursday and friday. there had been warnings about this for the last few days, there have been suggestions or people were putting to government that this might happen and the government where apparently saying, we don't think this is going to happen. i think when you're dealing

with something like this, this is about families who have saved up for about families who have saved up for a summer holiday, we all know how difficult it has been, the last three orfour months difficult it has been, the last three or four months of lockdown, people would have been really looking forward to their holidays. the last thing they want now is more anxiety and stress while on holiday. we understand why they have had to ta ke we understand why they have had to take this decision, i think everybody understands why, but this is about people's lives. could they not have made this decision on friday and communicated it properly with the downing street press conference on friday evening which would have been shown live on the bbc, journalists would have been able to ask questions? we have got greater clarity of the government had adopted that approach. what about suggestions that it could be a more targeted approach, that you just target the areas of spain that have got relatively high infections, like the islands, which have got very low infection rates?|j like the islands, which have got very low infection rates? i think that's a really, really good point.

for example i'm sat here in leicester which is a lockdown —— in lockdown because of the infection rates, but other parts of the east midlands aunt and the question the government will have to answer is why they have imposed this blanket quarantine across spain in the islands, given that what we understand from the public information is that the outbreak is in one part of spain. the government have got other information which suggestions more widespread. if the government had just said it at a press co nfe re nce government had just said it at a press conference on friday, i think it would have given people greater reassurance. the way in which they have handled this in the last 24 hours has caused confusion and anxiety and stress. they could have handled this better.

not least accusations from the us and uk that russia recently tested anti—satellite weaponry in space, claims that russia says are distorted. a teenagerfrom a teenager from cumbria a teenagerfrom cumbria in northwest england has unearthed a piece of wartime history which has caused a few 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 has since tracked down the owner's family. 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. oh, thank you. 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. a quick look at the weather

forecast. we will have a few shower clouds today but sunshine for many of us. temperatures will hover around the low 20s in the south of the country and high teens in the north. all in all, a decent day and a fine sunset on the way as well with plenty of clear weather. the clouds thicken across western parts of the uk and by the end of the night heavy rain will sweep into some areas. it could bea will sweep into some areas. it could be a really wet start across northern ireland and the northwest of england and also northern wales but the northeast of scotland, i cleaned night and a dry start to the day. tomorrow, an unsettled day across day. tomorrow, an unsettled day a cross m ost day. tomorrow, an unsettled day across most of the uk. the winds will freshen across the south but later in the day the heaviest of the rain will clear out into the north sea and will end up getting some sunshine towards the evening.
