of people into chaos. the uk foreign minister dominic raab said the government needed to be able to "gauge the data in real time" to prevent reinfection. authorities in spain are insisting their country is safe for tourists, despite new quarantine measures the uk has announced for people who travel there. the british 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 including its islands into the uk must enter a 14—day quarantine on their return. with more details on today's developments here's our correspondent andy moore. 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 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? andy moore, bbc news. speaking on sophy ridge on sky this morning, the foreign secretary dominic raab defended the government's decision to give just a few hours notice of the imposition of the quarantine. we've always said that we keep the travel advice under constant review and as we ease oui’ travel advice under constant review and as we ease our way through lockdown, we would still have to make targeted interventions. this is absolutely crucial we take this on a targeted, decisive and focused way. we appreciate the disruption for travellers, anyone that is at risk of moving money —— losing money should talk to their travel operator and look at their insurance but we must take these measures to avoid the risk of reinfection in the uk given the serious rise of cases in spain. anyone self—isolating because

of the changing government rules which they are legally required to doi which they are legally required to do i think i ought to be treated sympathetically and we fully expect employers to respect the actions they've had to take in pursuit of they've had to take in pursuit of the change of legal rules. the uk shadow health secretaryjon ashworth has been speaking about the decision to impose quarantine restrictions on travellers arriving from spain to the uk he criticised the way the government made the decision. i think when you're dealing with something like this, this is about families who have saved up for their summer families who have saved up for their summer holiday going out of their way. we all know how difficult it has been the last three or four months through 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 take this decision. everybody understands, but this is about people's life's. 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? journalist would have been able to ask questions, we would have got greater clarity of the government had adopted that approach. our business correspondent katy austin is outside gatwick airport for us. it's not long ago i was here talking about restrictions being eased, people arriving back and not having to quarantine for 14 days. that initially included spain although scotla nd initially included spain although scotland did not allow people to be exempt initially coming back from spain. however, that led to a lot of people thinking, now is the time we can finally book a summer holiday again, now that there was a list of travel exemptions, sorry, quarantine exemptions and spain was a 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 only given a few hours notice told us here as they flew out to spain 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 heard all the changes two hours ago. i got an update on my phone from easyjet last night and i was a bit worried because i thought the flight had been cancelled so we just didn't know, we 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 be a summer holiday boom to start a very slow recovery. easyjet and british airways, big airlines flying out to spain, have both said

they are disappointed by the change. neither of those are cancelling flights yet, they are carrying on operating, although easyjet has said people who wish not to travel now can get touch and look to change their flights or get 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 had already cancelled some flights to mainland spain and islands as well today. it's also brought a reaction from airlines uk which represents uk—based airlines. they say we need to have a regional air 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 remove 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 traveled 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 were now looking to get away abroad. our correspondent guy hedgecoe is in madrid with the latest on how the uk measure is being received in spain. the spanish foreign ministry has said it respects 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 is a safe place

to visit and any outbreaks of coronavirus in the country are very much localised and very much under control. it was very keen to underline that point. but this comes as the numbers of cases have been rising over the last few days, the last couple of weeks. we've seen in the northeast region of catalonia the northeast region of catalonia the closure of all nightclubs for the closure of all nightclubs 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 the virus among younger people but this will have a big impact on the tourism sector. british visitors tend to make up around a quarter of the total of foreign visitors to spain each year. the british market is the single biggest market for the spanish tourism industry so this is a huge blow for the tourism industry and it comes when the industry was already reeling after the early part of the tourism season and was

basically completely wiped out. 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 and that clearly is going to have an impact on the broader spanish economy as well. dan chadderton travelled from the uk to spain yesterday before the restriction was announced. hejoins us now from near alicante. it looks like a beautiful day there but is this going to ruin your holiday? hopefully not. the restrictions are very much the same as at home in manchester. the worry is that the quarantine on return, with my 16—year—old daughter, who is very upset about it. fortunately my boss has been very understanding, i've spoken to him and it doesn't seem to be a problem, but i must admit the government hopefully will set up some sort of system where you

can get tested shortly after you return to avoid having to spend a0 days at home. did you have any inkling there might be these quarantine measures or was it a com plete quarantine measures or was it a complete surprise? we didn't think when we get on the plane this might happen but most of these decisions seem to have been taken... we only coming for a week so i may be should have been more aware of the situation that might happen. what time did you fly out? was it literally just before time did you fly out? was it literallyjust before this was announced ? literallyjust before this was announced? we left manchester at 6:10am yesterday morning and i started to get text messages around eight o'clock last night. what was your reaction when you first heard that news? initially i was a bit

stunned, to be honest, but the realisation dawned, what are we going to do? my wife managed to get a tesco orderfor the going to do? my wife managed to get a tesco order for the monday morning we get back and will have to deal with it as the situation changes. i don't feel like the holiday has been spoiled. the people here see that the wearing of masks is already normal, unlike at home which only happened on friday, so we'll be able to carry on as normal and hope that this part of spain doesn't go into lockdown before we fly out. do you feel that people they are taking the safety measure seriously? you don't feel any danger there in spain? not at all. everybody wears masks. it's been normal here for some time in barcelona is considerably further firm where i am now than when at home so not one bit. enjoy the rest of your holiday, beautiful blue sky so just make the most of it while you can add worry about quarantine later.

atlantic storm season has hit the coast of southern texas. hurricane hanna, with heavy rainfall and winds of ias 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—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. sophia tran—thomson, bbc news. a 12—week health plan for people trying to lose weight is expected to form part of the england national strategy on obesity due to be announced by borisjohnson tomorrow. gps will also be able to prescribe cycling as a way of slimming down. the british prime minister is taking action after research by public health england found that being overweight or obese puts patients with covid—i9 at greater risk of becoming seriously ill or dying from the infection. speaking to bbc breakfast this morning professorjonathan valabhji, the national health service's national clinical director for diabetes and obesity, says two thirds of the population are overweight or obese. every single action that we take is likely to have an important but small impact on the more actions we have in our portfolio, the more we

are likely to see something quite substantial. we got a significant problem,, two thirds of the population are in the obese range. that is important for a whole host of reasons. we know that obesity in the long term predisposes type two diabetes, heart attacks and strokes and arthritis and a whole host of things, but we now know that even short—term there are important consequences and we know that people who are overweight or obese are at significantly high risk of realising the more severe outcomes of covid so that is really positive. the

consequences of diabetes such as type two diabetes consume a lot of nhs resources but also because a lot of suffering. protesters have gathered in seattle, in the us state of washington, in solidarity with anti—racism demonstrators who have been protesting daily in portland, in the neighbouring state of oregon, for the past two months. the protestors lit fires at a construction site for a youth detention centre. there were also clashes in louisville, kentucky, where protesters armed with guns faced off against a rival right—wing militia. the veteran tv presenter, regis philbin, has died in the us at the age of 88. he hosted dozens of programmes in a career spanning 60 years including the us version of who wants to be a millionaire. mr philbin also holds the guinness world record for the most time spent in front of a camera on american television. sylvia lennan spence looks back on his life. dubbed the ha rdest—working

man in show business, regis philbin was the ultimate tv performer, a staple of mid—morning chat shows. born in the bronx, he was a typical new yorker who revelled in live tv. he once told a newspaper he enjoyed working without a net and that spontaneity was everything. his career spanned six decades — something friends put down to his personality. regis had his own style that was classic and timeless. he would keep up with things, keep up to date with what was going on, and there was nothing that he wouldn't try. he was always trying to learn new things. regis philbin started work in tv in the mid—‘50s and became famous with the national talk show live with regis — first with kathie lee gifford, then kelly ripa. in 2011 he announced he was retiring from the weekday show after he had hosted it for more than 25 years. he created a style that many people that have been successful since then

have picked up on and it is kind of that everyman style, self—effacing and, "would you believe i did this today to myself?" that kind of thing. people picked up on that, and you know what? an audience loves that. regis philbin was honoured multiple times in his career, taking home three daytime emmy awards and a lifetime achievement. he was inducted into the television hall of fame in 2006 and received a hollywood walk of fame star in 2003. he took me around to all of the memorabilia he had in his home and we stood under a photograph of dean, frank and sammy — the rat pack — and he just held me and put his arms around me and said, "i loved your dad, and i hope that i can be like him one day." you are definitely right up there with dean, frank and sammy.

a teenagerfrom cumbria in northwest 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 19a0s. 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 a3 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. as st bernard was rescued from england's highest mountain on friday. st bernard is are usually on the other side of rescue missions, originally bred to rescue people in

cricket has been weird for all of us soi cricket has been weird for all of us so i think having a crowd back is going to be done might bring a lot of smiles to people's faces and going to help the players get back to some sort of normality. when you have a crowd and a big crowd, when its what does capacity, 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 a lot of people get used to playing in front of a big crowd and are just really gets you up for it and gets you going, especially when the chips are down so i think england players would have found it difficult to play in front of no crowds because they are used to playing in front of 20 to 30,000 people so it can be really weird but it's nice to see that we are starting to take small steps towards normality and welcoming the crowd back. people love cricket. it's going to be a good step forward. and just playing

cricket, how good does that feel for you? we had our first league match and it was nice to just get back out there. for as long as i've known it, summer has meant being out on a cricket field or at a cricket ground in these last few months have been really difficult for everyone. it has been unprecedented times but it's nice to see that we are heading towards some sort of normality. time for a look at the temperatures are likely to peak in the sunshine at 23 celsius with sharp showers further north and west with highs of 1a to 19 celsius. this evening, showers fade away for a time but will be replaced by more
