welcome to bbc news. the government has defended its decision to reimpose a 14 day quarantine for travellers entering the uk from spain. this follows a spike in the number of new coronavirus cases they are. europe's biggest travel company tui has cancelled all holidays to mainland spain for the next fortnight. spanish authorities insist their country is safe for tourists despite the new quarantine measures. the foreign office has advised against all nonessential travel to mainland spain but the ca nary 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 these islands into the uk

must enter a 14 day quarantine on their return. charlotte gallagher has the latest. just in time, these people board one of the last flights out of spain before that midnight deadline. some passengers made it back to the uk just minutes before that cut—off, which was brought in with a few hours' notice. it was crazy. it all happened so quickly. no—one knows what's going on in there. it's mad, wasn't it? yeah, we were supposed to come back monday and we just got the next flight. luckily my wife filled in the sheets, the documentation we had to fill in, so we arrived and other people could be postponed and actually missed the deadline. so we are thrilled. with the prospect of a strict two—week quarantine on their return, some people are choosing not to travel, but others are flying out, and there is anger with how those in charge are dealing with the situation. i think the government have handled it despicably. i think it's a terrible way of doing it. when it came to the wearing of masks, they gave people two

weeks' notice, but if it was that important, implement it straightaway, don't wait two weeks. they've implemented this, this ruling, and ruined thousands of people's plans. you can see here how the recent spike of coronavirus cases in spain is mainly clustered around the north—east. however, the foreign office is now advising against all but essential travel to the entire mainland. this means it's unlikely any travel insurance will be valid if you fly there now. people can still travel to the canary islands and the balearic islands, such as majorca and ibiza, but they will have to quarantine when they get back too. zeta hill in majorca is one of those affected. i find it illogical that in a place where there were very few cases, and where we have been following social distancing, face masks and hand washing and all the safety regulations to the letter, i have to quarantine for 14 days when i get home, whereas people in the uk who haven't

followed those guidelines would have no consequences at home. the tour operator tui has cancelled all holidays to mainland spain until after the 9th of august. it's resuming flights to the canary islands and the balearics tomorrow. these new rules aren'tjust affecting british holiday—makers. they will hit the spanish tourism industry hard as around a quarter of all visitors are from the uk. and with last—minute changes like this one, there will be fears that people won't feel confident in booking holidays. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. labour has called the government's handling of the travel restriction shambolic. dominic raab accepted the decision would cause disruption but said it was right to act quickly given the spike of cases in spain. when the quarantine policy was

brought in last month that had a bumpy landing in the commons. mps worried about the travel industry called for some holiday destinations to be exempt. lists of safe countries were agreed by the uk government and those in scotland, northern ireland and wales but they warned they could change. it is how it is being done with spain that has led to criticism. the wait has been communicated in the last 24 hours a shambolic and the consequences that many families are now asking lots of questions and are stressed and anxious, and need to know from their employer whether they will be able to isolate when they return from their holiday. ijust think it could have been handled so much better. the difference when it comes to the spanish islands between travel advice and quarantine policy has been criticised and there are doubts over how effective the government's call on employers to be sympathetic will be. we are taking this on the targeted, decisive and focused way. we appreciate the disruption for

travellers and anyone at risk of losing money he needs to talk to the travel operator or a look at insurance, but we have to take these measures to avoid the risk of reinfection in uk given a serious bike of cases in spain. and any twist of irony grant shapps, the man in charge of the travel corridor policy, is one of the holiday makers cut out by the to begs. policy, is one of the holiday makers cut out by the to grant least as unlikely to object. grant shapps has been tweeting in the last couple of hours, saying he had spoken to airlines uk and the british ambassador to spain hugh elliott. to discuss plans to ensure close cooperation for uk nationals returning from the country. he said eve ryo ne returning from the country. he said everyone would need to quarantine for 14 days on return. spain's foreign minister insists that the country is safe for tourists and says the government is speaking to the uk about excluding the canary and balearic islands from

quarantine. spain is a safe country for tourists and for spaniards, like in any other european country. we are seeing outbreaks. the outbreaks in spain are perfectly controlled. we have three that are the most important at the moment, and all of them are perfectly traced. half of those that are covid—19 positive in spain are asymptomatic, which gives a very clear indication of the huge effort that all the regions in spain are undertaking to test for covid—19, its citizens, and once they are identified they are subject to very strict social distancing measures. that was the spanish foreign minister. let's speak to linda who lives in fuerteventura and owns a bar and restaurant there with her husband. thanks forjoining us,

must be pretty disappointing news as far as you're concerned? can you hear me? i can now. must be pretty disappointing news for you and your husband? it has been a very concerning time and fuerteventura. everyone has worked hard to provide a safe place for the holiday—maker to come to and we feel quite happy that we have made that situation available and now we have the news that possibly people will come here and have the quarantine on their return. it makes is all very nervous again as to what the future may hold. so practically, what has this meant for you? the fact that people only had five hours to realise quarantine was being reimposed? had you made plans to expand our take on more staff, order more stock? exactly that. just yesterday we were

discussing the fact we needed to increase our staff hours and recruit more staff in order to provide the service and meet the demand of the holiday—maker and we find out today that this may not be necessary at all is devastating, devastating for all is devastating, devastating for a local businesses. we are just looking for pictures of your bar at the moment. presumably it is a pretty tough spring and early summer for you. have you spoken to many people who have arrived to stay in fuerteve ntu ra people who have arrived to stay in fuerteventura in the last week or so who are now worried about getting back? not so much worried about getting back but that when they get back they can't provide the time for quarantine because this was unexpected. people were landing and as they turned on their data their phones tell them the news so while they were in the air they received they were in the air they received the news that on return they have to quarantine and it is a troubling time. people are really quite

concerned. i think for the future and for us it makes us nervous because the plan for a future for our business, to provide the service that the holiday—maker requires, we can't have this instantaneous response from the british government in particular in this case, stopping them from either coming or making it difficult to return easily without a quarantine period. we have been talking to lots of people this afternoon about this stop start attitude now. financially, what does this mean for you and martin, in terms of the business you have lost this year so far? indeed, certainly since locked down, and that is the first time in our entire business life that were having to try to painta life that were having to try to paint a picture for the future with little or no information with which to do that. we started out very slowly, we built very quickly, and now we don't know whether to put on the brakes or put the foot hard on

the brakes or put the foot hard on the gas, it is really difficult. we wish you the best of luck, thank you for joining wish you the best of luck, thank you forjoining us on bbc news. the latest figures from the department of health show a further 14 people with coronavirus have died in the last 24 hours. that brings the overall number of deaths across the uk to 45,752. earlier the scottish government confirmed there had been no further deaths there for the tenth day in a row. 21 residents living on a caravan park in shropshire have tested positive for coronavirus. local authorities say the outbreak at craven arms is linked to a cluster of cases at a nearby traveller site and expect the number of cases to rise. india is one of the countries worst affected by the pandemic which has put health facilities in some areas under
