6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: calls for spain's holiday islands to be excluded from new quarantine rules, as travel companies say they fear for their future. if you're back with a bump from your holiday and are being forced to stay at home, can you expect to get paid? i'll look at where you stand. junk food tv adverts before the watershed could be banned under new plans to tackle obesity. it's the great escape for aston villa as they dodge relegation from the premier league on the final day of the season. but watford and bournmouth go down. at home with the murrays —
6:01 am
britain's most famous tennis family talk lockdown, keeping in touch and becoming team mates in a new tournament judy, morning... you are on mute. yes, you are, can we keep it that way! an unsettled start to the week and turning warmer or hotter depending on where you. details later in the programme. it's monday 27th july. our top story: officials in the balearic and canary islands are trying to negotiate an exemption to new rules forcing british tourists coming from spain to self—isolate for two weeks on their return to the uk. they say infection rates on the islands are low. meanwhile, the travel industry is warning that these new quarantine requirements could leave some firms unable to survive.
6:02 am
we can now get more from andy moore, who is at gatwick airport. morning andy, what's the latest? good morning. when these were established two a number of countries, people thought the doors on travel had been opened just a little but now it has been slammed shut. in normal time, when the foreign office issues a travel warning, that country is effectively closed. but these are not normal times. some airlines are trying to make sense of this. some continuing to travel to spain and others not. the new quarantine rules for spain will have a devastating effect on the travel industry, even without the knock—on effect of a wider loss of confidence. infection rates are rising in other parts of europe and there are localised outbreaks in many places. the foreign secretary said
6:03 am
he couldn't give any guarantees for travel abroad this summer. the number of people affected by the spain quarantine announcement is now becoming clear. travel experts believe there are 600,000 british holidaymakers in spain. but now everyone returning home to the uk from there will have to quarantine for two weeks. this includes people travelling from mainland spain, but also the canary and balearic islands. the spanish government is calling for some regional exemptions. in particular, our dialogue efforts at the moment are focused around excluding, from the quarantine measures, the balearic and the canary islands, for two reasons. number one, these islands, very safe territories, number two, the epidemiological data is extremely positive, well below epidemiological data in the uk. the new foreign office advice was against all but essential travel to mainland spain, meaning most travel insurance policies will be
6:04 am
rendered invalid. there are fears that many people will now change their travel plans and that will be bad news for the travel industry. what it's done is almost cancel the end of the summer season. a lot of people are now fearful that the government will put quarantine in place other countries, not just for spain, as cases go up elsewhere. and that means that the revenues won't come in and many travel companies and airlines that were on the cliff edge anyway, before this announcement, will not be able to survive the winter. labour said the shorter notice of the travel announcement had created a sense of panic and loss of control. it's calling for plans to support people where employers won't allow them to work from home. the tour operator tui has cancelled its flights to mainland spain, butjet2 will continue to operate all its services to all of spain. that's seen as an unusual move when the foreign office has warned against all
6:05 am
but essential travel. what happens if you fly back into gatwick airport and have to go into quarantine? first of all you have to provide an address where you are heading to and you can be fined if you do not. you have to go directly to that address, avoiding public transport if possible. hopefully using your car oi’ transport if possible. hopefully using your car or somebody picking you. it is much stricter, the quarantine than many of us experienced earlier this year. you cannot go to work, you cannot go to the shops unless you have to. hopefully somebody will be able to supply you. you cannot go out for exercise. if that does not appeal to you, watch out, because one in five people will be checked by text or phone to make sure they are abating these guidelines and if not people can be fined up to £1000 in england,
6:06 am
and also you cannot claim statutory sick pay unless you are ill as a result of travelling overseas and have contracted covid—19. labour has been critical of the government's decision on spain, saying it has caused "panic and a loss of control". our political correspondent, chris mason, is in westminster. chris, what has the political reaction been like? good morning. it is a reminder of the crippling reality of the uncertainty around our lives connected to the coronavirus and the probability, the possibility that these kind of handbrake turns in government policy happen because government policy happen because government is pouring over the data and every likelihood that there is changing data in other countries and the government will be forced to make other decisions over there.
6:07 am
people asking whether travelling is a good idea. labour say support databased evidence a good idea. labour say support data based evidence in a good idea. labour say support databased evidence in the decision—making but they do think the government reaction has been a shambles and leave the travel industry in chaos. they want sector specific support for the aviation industry. the airline industry really struggling in the last couple of months but when you look at the foreign office advised this morning, it could not be more stark. here we are on the edge of august, the peak summer are on the edge of august, the peak summer holiday season and are the most popular of places, spain, effectively back on the list as far as the mainland is concerned. —— back on the band list. and where is the secretary of travel right now? in spain. like many others at the
6:08 am
moment. all the implications if you are planning to go the, we will be looking at it all morning. let's get some reaction now from spain, with our correspondent, guy hedgecoe. what's the situation there? the mood here is pretty gloomy, as you might expect. we heard from the foreign minister of spain insisting spain isa foreign minister of spain insisting spain is a safe place to visit. the spikes in coronavirus are localised, she has pointed out. trying to get exemptions for the balearic and ca nary exemptions for the balearic and canary islands. a concern for the regional governments of those islands as well, they feel they are being treated unfairly. the incident coronavirus in balearic an canary
6:09 am
islands is much lower than in the uk. people feel that without the british tourist coming over, who make up about a quarter of foreign visitors each year, things will be very, very bleak here. face coverings are mandatory for everyone aged over 11 using public transport in wales from today, bringing it into line with other parts of the uk. museums, cinemas and beauty salons are also re—opening, but pubs, cafes and restaurants will have to stay closed for at least another week. "buy one get one free" deals and tv adverts for unhealthy food will be banned as part of the government's bid to tackle obesity in england. the prime minister will unveil the strategy later, which will also include new rules for displaying calories on menus. the plans come amid growing evidence of a link between an increase risk from coronavirus and obesity. the rescuer became the rescued over the weekend after a st bernard got
6:10 am
stuck on england's highest mountain. did you see this? i have seen this. when four—year—old daisy collapsed walking down scafell pike, it took five hours and a team of 16 to get her back down. the team scrambled down the mountain, carrying daisy on a stretcher. st bernards are traditionally on the other side of the rescue mission, as they were originally bred to rescue people in the alps. paul daisy. she is a big unit. i have not been up there but it is tricky, isn't it? it is, i have been up tricky, isn't it? it is, i have been up that a couple of times, on geography field trips. it is a big dog. she is safe and sound. good use. thank you to people who go and rescue things like daisy.
6:11 am
let's take a look at today's front pages. britian's new quarantine rules for anyone returning to the uk dominate the headlines. sorry... the daily mirror says the new measures have caused "holiday hell" for millions of britons. the paper says some 600,000 people already in spain must self—isolate on their return. the daily telegraph reports growing fears that france and germany could join spain on the uk's quarantine list. the paper also has a picture of prime minister borisjohnson walking his dog dilyn in the ground of chequers as the government launches its strategy to tackle obesity. and the guardian reports holidaymakers were warned that the government could impose "handbrake restrictions" on more countries beyond spain to stop the spread of coronavirus, with travellers unlikely to be given much warning in advance of the measures being enforced. we will try and look at some of the inside pages later on. nina's here to tell us what these
6:12 am
quarantine rules mean for employees. we've already heard exactly what the rules are about travelling to and from spain, but you may be returning from spain today and wondering if you'll get paid. so, where do you stand when it comes to work? the first thing to say is that is very much dependent on your employer. in most circumstances, they don't have to pay you. labour has called for government support for people who have to quarantine. yesterday, the foreign secretary encouraged employers to support their staff, but there are no guarantees. anyone who is self isolated because of the change in government rules, which they are legally applied to do, they should be compensated and we expect employers to respect the change of legal rules. there are holidaymakers in spain at the moment confused and distressed. people about to go on holiday to spain and
6:13 am
the islands, like tenerife, and they are confused and do not know whether employers will allow them to take two we e ks employers will allow them to take two weeks quarantine. the government in saying we hope employers co—operate, to be frank, i hope i win the lottery on saturday but it doesn't necessarily mean it will happen. so what are your options if you've already travelled to spain? contact your employer as soon as possible. you could have options, including working from home, taking annual leave, or even taking unpaid leave. if you're still hoping to travel, it's a little unclear. again, you'll need to speak to your boss — a week's holiday could well cost you three weeks' leave. you might be able to come to some arrangement, but it might be that you have to cancel your holiday and hope for a refund or transfer to avoid losing your income. the starting point is the reason no lower requiring employers to be understanding, no matter what statement are made by ministers. are not required to pay sick leave or
6:14 am
salary for a period of absence when the employee is not on annual leave. soa the employee is not on annual leave. so a lot of people are going to lose out financially at a time when very few people can afford to do that. it's worth saying that there are very few exemptions to the quarantine rules. if you regularly work abroad — for example, or in the travel industry. but for most people, if you break the rules, you could be left with a fine of up to £1000 in england and £1180 in scotland. thank you very much. throughout the morning we will try to be as clear as we can with exactly what the rules are, what other countries might possibly be on that list and what it means. we are speaking to the minister helen whately at 7:30 this morning as well. i know you have lots of questions. get your comments and questions come again and we will try and get through as many as we can.
6:15 am
a scottish pilot who spent more than 100 days in hospital in vietnam with covid—19 has warned people not to become blase about the threat posed by the pandemic. at one point, he was being described as "the sickest person in asia" but now he's returned to the uk and is on the mend. he's been speaking to reporter oliver barnes. i had multiple blood clots. i had adrenal failure. i had multiple blood clots. i had adrenalfailure. i had another couple of organs failing me. my lungs were at 10% capacity at one stage. i was told that i was asian's sickest patient. home at last and on the road to recovery. pilot stephen cameron moved to vietnam earlier this year to start a newjob. how is that, better? within a few days of his first flight he was on a ventilator with severe covid—19 and remained on it for over two months. in the uk, half of all covid—19 patients who receive invasive ventilation do not survive and of those who have, few are in a over —— coma for as long as eve. hello,
6:16 am
stephen, lovely to meet you. i would shake your hand but a wave is properly best. it is believed stephen contracted the virus as an expat bar and at first he did not ta ke expat bar and at first he did not take the symptoms too seriously. expat bar and at first he did not take the symptoms too seriouslylj said take the symptoms too seriously.” said at the time this is just like a really... i've had worse food poisoning. that was on day two or three. as it turned out, no, fast forward 12 weeks and it's a very different story. and stephen regained consciousness in earlyjune he was delirious. 30 kg lighter and could not move his legs. when i first woke up i thought will i be able to walk again, was paralysed? i did not know if i was paralysed for life or anything because i couldn't feel my feet. stephen hopes to be backin feel my feet. stephen hopes to be back in the skies again as soon possible. but his recovery will be long and arduous. i'm slowly working on it here to get back to being mobile myself. it's just on it here to get back to being mobile myself. it'sjust a on it here to get back to being
6:17 am
mobile myself. it's just a very slow process. vietnam is yet to record a single death from coronavirus. stephen came close to dying than anyone else and keeping him alive became a matter of national pride. after 114 days, he left hospital as a celebrity. the vast majority of the country knew about patient 91 which was my moniker and when we went through the lobby, it must‘ve been ten deep of people. everybody had their phones out, even doctors, nurses in the different wards were passed, and when i got into the back of the ambulance, when we were getting driven away, there was traffic cops out on the roads holding people back, again maybe 15 01’ holding people back, again maybe 15 or 20 deep people on the street on the road. for somebody who does not really seek out notoriety or limelight it was a bit surprising andi limelight it was a bit surprising and i wouldn't say overwhelming but ijust and i wouldn't say overwhelming but i just couldn't believe and i wouldn't say overwhelming but ijust couldn't believe it. and is lockdown eases here in scotland and the uk, do you have a message for
6:18 am
people in their approach to the advice and guidelines?” people in their approach to the advice and guidelines? i mean, i'm a living example of what this virus can do and how it is serious. no, people might grumble about having to put on gloves or social distancing, two metres apart in all this sort of stuff but do you know? i contracted it and stuff but do you know? i contracted itandi stuff but do you know? i contracted it and i was under it for ten weeks on life support. it is no laughing matter. it is a very serious thing andi matter. it is a very serious thing and i think people cannot be blase about this until we have a vaccine. oliver barnes, bbc news. very good luck with his continued recovery as well. patient 91! banning junk food adverts before 9pm and an end to deals on unhealthy food — these are part of the government's plans to tackle obesity in england. the measures have been largely welcomed by campaigners, but how easy is it to change habits, and what's it like to live with the stigma of being overweight? jayne mccubbin has been finding out.
6:19 am
it isa it is a national preoccupation. we are chatting waistlines, sir. i've got bigger. distant couple, not too much. i like my food. this is what you want to get rid of? with almost two—thirds of adults overweight, the government says this is one of the biggest health crises facing the country. for kirsty and lorraine it has been a lifelong battle. tell me about you and your relationship with food. if i'm honest, toxic. i've always kind of been a binge eater. it's like a love hate relationship. they have both tried to lose weight but believe this is an addiction, not a lifestyle choice, one which needs intervention, notjudgement. yes, you do feeljudgement. i mean, people used to be fat cow and all people used to be fat cow and all people through a burger at the van
6:20 am
at me once and ijust froze, i was on the street, happy, walking down the road and ijust got weighed at one of my way in groups and through a burger at me. one of my way in groups and through a burgerat me. i one of my way in groups and through a burger at me. i was crushed. no, no—one likes to be overweight. it's... no—one likes to be overweight. it's. .. it's heartbreaking. no—one likes to be overweight. it's... it's heartbreaking. it's so easy to conveniently binge eat, it is such an easy thing to do with all of the apps around, take a ways, even when you go to a supermarket or the 241 deals, all of the promotions, on sweets and christmas and stuff and i know people say will have some motivation, but they are addictive substances and it is hard to say no. to some extent the government in england agrees. those ads will be axed before nine p.m.. the deals will be banned. there are a multitude of reasons why we are in this crisis. for someone like andrew and becky it is about convenience. because somebody sees takeaway adverts and wants one. for dawn, it
6:21 am
is about cost. it's not easy, isn't it? not easy at all. for others like tracy, this is a generational problem. all my family are big. are you worried about your weight? yes, because i have diabetes now. let's have a rummage in your bag. go on. but for so many, it is too easy to make the wrong choices. because we've been working at home... more christmas! it is so easy to go to the cupboard. chocolate! and ifi did not buy them they would not be there to eat. will the government strategy make making the right choices easier? we have recipes who we can teach you on the course... adele runs a programme which provides facing ingredients and mentoring to help people eat healthy. the problem is that people a, don't have enough money to buy the right kind of food, they don't know what the right kind of food is
6:22 am
and even if they bought it, they don't necessarily know how to cook it. whatever the reason for this crisis, it costs, £6 billion a year to the nhs. and as a major risk factor when it comes to covid—19, the personal cost could not be higher. so you're going to be men touring kirsty? and you've not met her face—to—face yet? touring kirsty? and you've not met her face-to-face yet? kind of exciting to get to see her. here she is! hi, kirsty! hello. i'm really just excited to try all of these healthy foods that are cost—effective. healthy foods that are cost-effective. good luck with everything that lies ahead. this is a crisis, isn't this, adele? we need to fix it now. we need to fix it. it is just not ok the way it is. let's speak to gp rachel ward, who joins us from her home in oxfordshire. good morning and thank you so much for joining good morning and thank you so much forjoining us and i do not know how much of that you could hear but you get a sense of the difficulties that
6:23 am
people are and you must speak to patients who have equally big problems like that. morning. that was a great clip because it really highlighted so many of the fact is that go along to our problem with obesity. and it showed really it is such a complex issue. there are so many factors that affect people's ability to lose weight. it is so difficult. and how often argue you are prescribing for example, you hear about the government prescribing cycling, how often are you talking about exercise and telling people that is what they need to be doing? every single day we talk to patients about lifestyle changes, whether it be losing weight, whether that be stopping smoking, because it affects so many different factors of our health. i know there is a focus on it at the moment because we know that if you are overweight or obese, that your risk of getting complications or a serious form of coronavirus is much greater. but this is something that we have done for ever, really. we
6:24 am
have been prescribing exercise and advising people to losing weight and giving them access to weight loss programmes for a long time. and how's how many people take that up? do you find it makes a difference? it does, it is not easy to lose weight, we must not forget that, and of course it is not that everyone who tries one of these programmes has a fantastic success straightaway. we know that there is evidence that getting support with weight loss definitely gives better outcomes. but no, it is not first time round for everybody having great success but it definitely helps. what about this messaging about adverts? we know get one field —— deals band, will this help, a ban onjunk food —— deals band, will this help, a ban on junk food adverts?” —— deals band, will this help, a ban on junk food adverts? i hope so. you know, again, there are so many factors and i think it was really interesting there, wasn't it, people in the clips saying it is cheaper to buy some of these foods and it is
6:25 am
easy when there is offers on them and they are much more likely to do so so hopefully by stopping that, thatis so so hopefully by stopping that, that is another factor we can tackle and minimise the effects. and do you see people really managing to turn their lives around ? see people really managing to turn their lives around? 0h, we do. you know, we have great success and we work with, you know, many organisations. one organisation we work closely within our practice is park run and i can think of many patients who have really had amazing success by introducing exercise. changing their diet. losing lots of weight and improving their blood pressure, cholesterol.” weight and improving their blood pressure, cholesterol. i can think of many. this will not have a direct impact on you presumably as a gp, these changes to quarantine rules people returning from spain but will it increase, for example, people planning, wanting to go on holidays, do you think? i suspect we may be hearing from some people today, asking for advice about what they think they should do. of course it isa think they should do. of course it is a very personal decision and i think you have to look at the whole
6:26 am
pick. how it affects you. if you are considering going away in the coming weeks you really have to think about what your flexibility is like if numerals are imposed while you are away. absolutely, let's talk about the flu vaccination programme because we know it will be extended to many, many more people. not everybody takes it up, do they? why do you think they should? so we know that the flu vaccine has very good impact on the amount of people that get flu, it gives us an immunity within our community. and it stops high—risk people from getting a serious disease. i think we forget that every year, we have about 10,000 people who die of flu in the uk which is obviously a very significant number. like all vaccines, there is anxiety, there are old wives tales about the flu vaccine and giving you flu, et cetera, but we know that it helps people and saves lives so this year
6:27 am
more than any other, we really need to ta ke more than any other, we really need to take it up and i suspect people well. and when you normally start that out? so it depends often on when we actually get the vaccine from the suppliers. as recent years, that has often been a slightly delayed factor. but you know from september to october, as soon as we have those in, we are really working ha rd to have those in, we are really working hard to immunise as many people as possible. doctor ward, thank you for speaking to us on breakfast. thank you. it is 27 minutes past six. good morning. you are watching bbc breakfast. still to come: we'll have all the latest on your rights if you are in spain or were due to fly out, and we'll be speaking to the boss of holiday company tui after 7:00. we'll be discussing that shortly, and bringing you the latest news and weather. what time is it? 27 minutes past six. let's find out what is happening with the weather and carol is with us and what a moody beach shot! good morning both. it is, dan,

6:29 am
behind it, heavy showers which could behind it, heavy showers which could be thundery in the afternoon. a lot of spray on the roads. these other wind gusts, —— these other wind gust, they could be 45—50 miles an hour, but they could take the edge of the temperatures, which aren't fantastic, it must be said. heading on through the evening and overnight, eventually the rain pushes up into the far north—east of scotland. we will still have a keen wind blowing in some showers, especially into western areas. clear skies and these other temperature values, not a cold night generally. 9-14. values, not a cold night generally. 9—14. tomorrow, we hang onto the rain in the north—east for a time. gradually it will push a bit further north in towards the northern isles. still quite a keen wind coming in off the north—west, taking the edge off the north—west, taking the edge off the north—west, taking the edge off the temperatures and a lot of showers in the west but because of the strength of the wind, strongest
6:30 am
in the northern half of the country tomorrow, some of the showers will blow over towards the east. temperatures 14 — 20. we still have the low pressure in the north—east for a time on tuesday before it moves away and we have a transient ridge of high pressure coming but for the next set of weather fronts, they are coming our way also. the cloud in the rain associated with the low pressure across the far north of scotland, a lot of dry weather under it and there will also be some sunshine. highs 13 in the north to 22 in the south and we have the rain not too far away. that is courtesy of these fronts which will put across through the course of the night, and look at the yellows replacing by amber as we start to see a return to milder conditions, and some of us could get up to 30 by the weekend. more in 30 minutes. hello this is breakfast
6:31 am
with dan walker and louise minchin. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: it is so easy, it is such an easy thing to do with all the ads around. experiences of obesity, as the government sets out it's plans to tackle the problem — we'll hear about the challenges some people face when it comes to trying to lose weight. after 8:00 we'll be looking back at what was a unique football season with harry redknapp. that is a shame. never mind. and, the murrays on how they've been keeping in touch during lockdown, and their ambition to get more diversity in tennis — we'll have thatjust before 7:00. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. spanish ministers are in talks with the uk government
6:32 am
about excluding the canary and balearic islands from the new rules which force british tourists coming home from spain to quarantine for two weeks. officials from the islands, which include popular tourist destinations majorca and ibiza, say the coronavirus infection rate there is far lower than on the spanish mainland and the uk. face coverings are mandatory for everyone aged over 11, using public transport in wales from today, bringing it into line with other parts of the uk. museums, cinemas, and beauty salons are also re—opening, but pubs, cafes, and restaurants will have to stay closed for at least another week. "buy one get one free" deals and tv adverts for unhealthy food will be banned as part of the government's bid to tackle obesity in england. the prime minister will unveil the strategy later which will also include new rules for displaying calories on menus. the plans come amid growing evidence of a link between an increase risk
6:33 am
from coronavirus and obesity. you are up—to—date with the latest news. the changes to quarantine rules for those returning from spain, have left many holidaymakers unsure about whether to stay or go. simon browning has been speaking to some of those left in limbo, and some whose plans have been completely ruined. it is the tweet that has ruined the summer holidays of thousands. late on saturday afternoon, before the government made it official, the news broke it into quarantine when returning from spain. the race was on. these passengersjust to manchester. flight change to beat the deadline. it was crazy. it all happened so quickly. no-one knows what is going on. we just got the next flight. the end ofjuly, time
6:34 am
to pack the cases and head away, the lure of sun, sea and long evenings. none with an idea of what was coming. it is a bit of a shock, i must admit. the plane was full, we would not expecting it. obviously lots of people in the same boat. the place is packed, passports, facemasks. they were supposed to fly out on sunday morning, desperate to get away. they have all had coronavirus. initially it was shocking and devastating for the kids. it has been booked for a year. and basically we had half—an—hour me and my wife, what do we do? it is not responsible to get to spain and then come home and quarantine. you
6:35 am
can only do so much from home. your wife working from social care, she must need a break? she has been working 12 hour shifts so she has not seen me and the kids. it was a chance to spend quality time together as a family. 16 million trips are made to spain every year from the uk. 10,000 flight to the spanish islands by august but what about those already halfway through the holidays. what was it like, that moment you found out the policy had been removed from spain? we got back to the apartment at six o'clock and bbc news, quarantine for two weeks. i'll help broke loose. the family we re i'll help broke loose. the family were panicking. how did it leave you feeling as a family last night? lots of discussions over the food?”
6:36 am
cancelled a few work meetings. you are on the beach this afternoon without your tom bond but are you regretting going over to spain? —— your shirt on. we got the temperature check when we got there, they are all wearing facemasks. spain is prepared for it. the government has maintained the public health of the uk comes first but with such a rapid change in policy, the son we have been longing for is fading away and seeming out of breach for this summer. throughout the morning we will talk about the impact for all sorts of people, you, for other countries as well. what about businesses that
6:37 am
just got up and running. we can speak to rob. anyone interested to see how this is affecting you. that eve ryo ne see how this is affecting you. that everyone is interested. good morning. i everyone is interested. good morning. lam everyone is interested. good morning. i am the owner of a company, a property management and re ntal company, a property management and rental service we do short let's and out clients are typically foreign owners who have homes here. we also helped with abby b. our business is based around holidaymakers coming over and this year has been very complicated because of the dramatic drop in tourists coming due to the uncertainty of the news coming out a
6:38 am
couple of days ago that it is not going to get any better in what would normally be out peak months. had things been picking up? they had been picking up for sure. last week we had about 25,000 euros worth of booking, which is substantially less than what we would have towards the end ofjuly than what we would have towards the end of july and than what we would have towards the end ofjuly and it looks like some of those bookings are going to be cancelled because people do not want to come here and do 14 days warranting on return. 35% of our tourists are british tourists stop every time you look at the inbox, probably more questions about cancellations? there are lots of questions due to the uncertainty, people asking about refunds, probably best to speak with their insurers. people ask about the
6:39 am
conditions and that type of thing. lots of doubt and people feeling uneasy with the circumstances. from your point of view, give us an idea about the restrictions on the costa del sole and how holidaymakers have been doing? the spanish government have been honest from day one. we have been honest from day one. we have had a gradual release. what we we re allowed have had a gradual release. what we were allowed to do and what was expected of us. the face mask has beenin expected of us. the face mask has been in from day one, going into shops you have to have face mask, gloves on, wash your hands in and out. when you go to the loo you still have to put your face mask. spain has been very on top of it and the feedback i have had from clients
6:40 am
is that they feel a lot safer here than they do at home. those who are there already and thinking about the two weeks of quarantine when they return to the uk that what have they been saying? it is an unfortunate circumstance because this was sprung up circumstance because this was sprung up on people without any significant time to be able to prepare themselves so a lot of people are saying it isjust what it is and they will have to go back and do the 14 days. some people say, what can i do? i have a guest in one of those properties saying i work in a factory, i cannot work from home. a huge amount of uncertainty. it is that putting people into chaos and over the bookings over the rest of august and september. interesting to get your take on that. you come back
6:41 am
but you cannot work from home, how do you saw that with your employer. so many difficult things going on. let's now speak to one of the many holidaymakers who had to change their plans. dr andras szigeti from chelmsford arrived in malaga on saturday, only to fly back yesterday. you flew back yesterday, how was your brief holiday? it was absolutely fantastic for 24 hours but we return and as you see, i have a floral pattern on just to bring a bit of sunshine under this gloomy monday. thank you. lots of people in a position like you to decide what to do. i know you woke into the health system. why did you decide to come back? the reason why we decided was the 14 days of quarantine would have been an absolute hit to the family budget so we decided to fly back as soon as we good although yesterday we got the news as well
6:42 am
that key workers do not need to quarantine but my other half does the two quarantine unfortunately. so you could have had your holiday as it turned out? yes. how do you feel! absolutely devastated. i feel a little bit let down by the government but, if this is the way it is in the covid—19 outbreak and we cannot change it. your partner is going to have to quarantine. yes. and what are you going to do?” going to have to quarantine. yes. and what are you going to do? i am not sure exactly. yesterday we arrived to stanford airport and we we re arrived to stanford airport and we were expecting some health official telling us what we should do but u nfortu nately we telling us what we should do but unfortunately we did not see any public health official whatsoever and infact public health official whatsoever and in fact there were many people who did not fill out a form which was supposed to be completed before
6:43 am
arrival to the uk and they slipped through the border without any checks whatsoever and that is really questioning the government approach of this whole issue. i am not 100% sure whether this new warranting regulation imposed yesterday on our return works at all because there are no checks at the border at the moment. what about the source of confusion, how could it have been made easier, do you think? just proper guidelines, not us looking at the public health guidelines on line before we checked in our flights because it is extremely confusing. a long list of exemptions. how long was your holiday due to be? ten days but we made it very short, it was 24 hours only. i cannot believe you're taking it in such good humour. it must have cost you money as well?
6:44 am
just the flight itself was £600 each of us so £1200 for a weekend, the most we have spent four weekend anywhere in the world.” most we have spent four weekend anywhere in the world. i appreciate your good humour in what is difficult circumstances. enjoy your holiday at home. thank you very much, have a good day. would you be tempted if you're that such if you could to go back on holiday! i'm not sure it would go down well with the other half. it is clear this morning that there are so many things and questions that people would like to ask about. there might be one of two premier league footballers planning a holiday or two. it came to an end ina very a holiday or two. it came to an end in a very dramatic day?
6:45 am
they go out partying at the end of the season. a couple of weeks at their house and then they are back. the premier league season is over. liverpool wrapped up the title weeks ago, but there was no lack of drama on the final day, when aston villa were the big winners. austin halewood rounds up the action. too they are there, aston villa have secured a place in secured a place too they are there, aston villa have secured a place in the premier league for the last season. belief or aston villa, a draw at west ham enough for them to survive. job done. but onlyjust. it feels better than unintelligible a lot of people had us relegated. we have been solid defensively, we have looked strong and we have managed to stay in the premier league now which is a big achievement. after 11 premier league now which is a big achievement. after“ months premier league now which is a big achievement. after 11 months and 17 days of this season there was still drama to come. the equation was simple — three teams in trouble, only one could survive. but for
6:46 am
watford their fate was sealed early on, 3—0 down to arsenal and left with too much to do. almost had one of their best results for months at everton, 3—1 when giving them the chance but it was not enough. all because of this. he has scored the goal that surely keeps aston villa in the premier league! the captain keeping his boyhood club in the premier league, a goal that brought an end to bournemouth‘s five year stay in the top flight. collectively over the piece, over the season, we have not been good enough and we have not been good enough and we have dipped below levels we were out previously and a —— as manager i have to take responsibility. meanwhile to champion leagues spots we re meanwhile to champion leagues spots were up for meanwhile to champion leagues spots were upforgrabs, meanwhile to champion leagues spots were up for grabs, three teams were left in the hunt but chelsea were not feeling the pressure. a co mforta ble not feeling the pressure. a comfortable win over wolves meant they sealed their place so that final spot hung on a shootout between leicester and manchester united and after a brilliant start of the season, the foxes went out
6:47 am
with a whimper. united gifted a second goal to seal champions league football. a dramatic final day, a fitting end to the strangest and certainly the longest premier league season in history. for some, the celebrations will have gone on long into the night. but there is not too much time to party, less than seven weeks until it all kicks off again. austin halewood, bbc news. it is certainly one we will not forget in a hurry! stuart broad was the star of the show again for england as they close in on a series win against the west indies. broad is nowjust one wicket away from his 500th in test cricket as he took six to finish off the west indies' first innings at old trafford. england then had a bit of fun with the bat, adding a load of quick runs to set the tourists an unlikely 399 runs to win the third test. broad then went to work again, taking two more wickets before the close of play. the windies are 10—2 going into day four. the weather forecast for manchester today is not good. staying with cricket,
6:48 am
and there was an encouraging sight at the oval yesterday as fans were allowed into the stadium for the first time since the start the pandemic. 1,000 spectators saw the friendly match between surrey and middlesex. they were spaced by alternate rows and had two—seat gaps between the groups. it's the first time in england that fans have been allowed to watch live sport since the lockdown. look at that! on a sunny day at the oval! and andy murray says he is "mentally planning" for the us open to go ahead next month. in the next 10 days, tennis bosses in america are expected to confirm if the tournament can be held behind closed doors from 31st august. murray says that despite the uncertainty, he's preparing himself to compete in new york, and he'll be doing just that at the latest battle of the brits event, which is being held in roehampton this week. thank you very much! i think we are about to hear a little bit more from andy murray! thank you. staying with

6:50 am

6:52 am
media. jamie, your fitness routines are nuts! like everyone we are stuck at home for a few months and that was our way to exercise. it has been fun and! was our way to exercise. it has been fun and i feel great, like, i have ever felt physically. obviouslyjust staying in shape, i have not been posting every workout i do online likejamie but... posting every workout i do online like jamie but... you know... we have been doing ourfamily kind of zoom have been doing ourfamily kind of zoom charts, quizzes. this is responding to your 100 volley challenge and i bet you at monopoly andl challenge and i bet you at monopoly and i will be to tennis. we were playing, like, online monopoly and stuffed with our wives for the first few weeks which but fizzled out quite quickly, didn't it?” few weeks which but fizzled out quite quickly, didn't it? i know you found some stuff to do there because i have seen a brilliant photograph of you playing dress up. when my daughter kind of get hold of me when in the house, they tell me what to do. so, you know, put my kilt on,
6:53 am

6:54 am
opportunity to pick up a racket for the first time. it has been amazing what she has done. jamie and andy, five years from now, jamie murray, tournament director? maybe! i might still be playing on the tour if things go well. still in tip top shape after the lockdown. andy, what about you ? andy shape after the lockdown. andy, what about you? andy murray, coach? you know, if my hip holds up, i want to play as long as i can while i am healthy but if i am not able to anymore, then, yeah, iwould definitely, yeah, be able to coach. stick to the tournament directing and the whole workout forjamie. judy, you are in charge of these lads for a little while again now. how are you going to keep them in line? it will not be easy but, yeah, you know, we are on a team and they have always been really good about playing in a team and it has always beena playing in a team and it has always been a big part of their lives from when they were very small and they are pretty good at listening to the

6:56 am
brits is available on i play, red button and the sport website. i have a story i have to tell you about. i'm not quite sure how to tell you but baboons with chainsaws. 0k? tell you but baboons with chainsaws. ok? iam tell you but baboons with chainsaws. ok? i am worried about this. they have been running around a safari park, it has been claimed, and staff say guests may be arming the primates for a laugh but bosses have dismissed it as unstamped you —— unsubstantiated. they have been seen with knives and screwdrivers in merseyside and they are unsure if they have been given weapons by guest who wanted to see them attached cars or if they have been finding them. they will be going into toolboxes and carrying them around and one of the baboons were seen lugging a chainsaw. another was i know! another worker said the baboons have been found with knives and screwdrivers and i wonder if some of the guests have been handing them out and all sorts of measures in place to try and stop they call monkeying around here in the newspaper. we believe many stories
6:57 am
have grown in exaggeration, says one person. so they do not know what is happening. if you want to know what a baboon with a chainsaw looked like, there is a mock—up. a baboon with a chainsaw looked like, there is a mock-up. a baboon could take apart your car quite quickly anyway, even without the help of the chainsaw.” quickly anyway, even without the help of the chainsaw. i have lost the windscreen wiper. i do not think i have escaped unscathed from a safari park. it is coming up to seven o'clock and carol has a beautiful rainbow beautiful seven o'clock and carol has a beautiful rainbow for us. good morning both. yes, indeed, a beautiful one, taken in staffordshi re beautiful one, taken in staffordshire by one of our weather watchers. quite a bit of rain around at the moment and for many of us todayit at the moment and for many of us today it is going to be the forecast cloudy and wet. some of the rain is heavy and coming across parts of wales and south—west england this morning, not only heavy but thundery. courtesy of this low pressure, drifting northwards and eastwards and look at the isobars, gusty winds today, particularly in the hills and also with exposure and
6:58 am
particularly in the south. first thing this morning we have dry conditions across parts of the highlands. the weather front isn't too far and you can see the rain piling in from the west, moving across northern ireland, also the isle of man, in through northern england and wales and some of it getting in this morning across south—west england. we use a green and yellow, that is telling you where you can expect heavy burst. through this afternoon the rain moves out of northern ireland, continues across scotland, the tail end of it pushing steadily across southern england and wales. right behind it, heavy showers pushing also —— which have the potential to be thundery. whiteness in between the showers. 15 in the north, 21 in the showers. 15 in the north, 21 in the south but it is going to be a gusty day so both gusts of wind will ta ke gusty day so both gusts of wind will take the edge of the temperature so it will feel cooler. overnight, the rain pushes into the north—east of scotland, still some showers packing in on the gusty winds, most coming into the west. some will make it
6:59 am
over to the east and some breaks in the cloud and a fair bit of cloud around actually. it is not going to be cold, close between nine and 14. tomorrow we start with a ran across the far north—east, still the gusty winds blowing as a showers across the western from getting to the east and in between drier and brighter conditions, particularly the further south you travel. temperatures 14 to about 20. on wednesday, the low pressure which has been producing all of the rain pulls away, we will be left with residual cloud and still blustery across the far north—east but we have a transient ridge of high pressure across us on wednesday so things are settling down, a lot more dry weather and sunshine and not feeling as call that you can already see by the end of the day, the next system waiting in the wings to come our way, bringing rain initially into northern ireland and it will be moving across us as we go through wednesday night and thursday, pushing through northern ireland, north wales, northern england and scotla nd north wales, northern england and
7:00 am
scotland we think at the moment. further south, drier and brighter conditions and you will start to notice the temperature rise to about 27, could be higher on friday. the headlines are coming up next. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: calls for spain's holiday islands to be excluded from new quarantine rules, as travel companies say they fear for their future. the uk's biggest tour operator tui has cancelled all flights and holidays to mainland spain — i'll be asking the boss what this means for future holidays, and the wider induistry junk food tv adverts before the watershed could be banned under new plans to tackle obesity. it's the great escape for aston villa as they dodge relegation from the premier league on the final day of the season. but watford and bournemouth go down.
7:01 am
it's monday 27th july. our top story. officials in the balearic and canary islands are trying to negotiate an exemption to new rules forcing british tourists returning from spain to self—isolate for two weeks. they say infection rates on the islands are low. meanwhile, the travel industry is warning that these new quarantine requirements could leave some firms unable to survive. we can now get more from andy moore, who is at gatwick airport. we can talk you through what those quarantine measures are and what people returning to the uk from spain will be asked to do once they come back to the country. we will talk about that shortly. labour has been critical of the government's decision on spain — saying it has caused "panic and a loss of control". our political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. chris, what has the political
7:02 am
reaction been like? good morning. it all boils down to what if factor, given what the government has had to do over the weekend, lots of people who decided to make a foreign holiday booking now thinking, what if it happens where we are going and the government is unapologetic about what it has done. you remember the torturous conversations about the establishment of so—called air bridges to make a foreign holiday possible, written if you like, not really anything small print, was the possibility that if cases started to rise that would have to reimpose quarantine. that is what has happened in spain and questions about whether it could happen in other places in europe and beyond. the changing government travel advice means your travel insurance
7:03 am
could be rendered invalid but also the prospect it could spread further in terms of the quarantine measures. labour are saying this is really damaging because it implies the government is not in control. they back the idea that the government has to be led by the data but they are saying it has been a shamble. the government saying it is unapologetic and will be continued to be driven by the data. to reach little details, where is the minister for small business this morning and where risk the transport secretary this morning of all people? yes, they are on holiday in caught up in the policy they are
7:04 am
creating. a topic of discussion for many people this morning, andy? people thought when those air bridges occurred the door was open a little on foreign travel but now many people thinking that door has been slammed shut. these quarantine regulations coming into effect now a very strict. 600,000 people, we think, are in spain at the moment. anyone coming back from spain will have to quarantine for a period of two weeks and that applies to the whole of spain, mainland, the canary islands and the balearic island. this is what the spanish foreign minister had to say about this. at the moment focused around excluding measures from the canary islands and
7:05 am
balearic islands because they are safe territories, there epidemiological data is extremely positive and well below the epidemiological data in the uk. positive and well below the epidemiological data in the ukw is very strict. stricter than the general lockdown. you cannot go out for exercise, you cannot go to the supermarket unless you absolutely have to. hopefully people will be able to bring you food or you can order it on line. it is basically state at home unless the are exceptional circumstances and if you do not stick to the regulations, you can face a fine of £1000. thank you for bringing us up—to—date. as we've heard, officials in the balearic and canary islands are trying to negotiate an exemption to these new rules. mairead smyth is in majorca — morning mairead, what's the latest
7:06 am
with regard to these islands? what are people making of this change? it would be a busy monday morning for ministers in majorca. this quarantine the minister says is entirely unnecessary. the epidemiology is entirely different here. the outbreak is under control. and here, on the balearic islands it is different again. cases are so low compared to mainland spain and i arrived here over a week ago and all of us in our group were shocked and surprised by how safe it feels. masks were mandatory before they we re masks were mandatory before they were mandatory in england. quiet, sleepy field to the island this year but here, the call is to try and lift that quarantine that is
7:07 am
necessary now when people return from holidaying here, notjust in majorca, the ca nary from holidaying here, notjust in majorca, the canary islands and others. they feel they have been u nfa i rly others. they feel they have been unfairly classed with the rest of mainland spain. the calls locally and nationally is to say that the balearic canary and nationally is to say that the balearic ca nary islands and nationally is to say that the balearic canary islands are exempt from the quarantine, something that will affect me when i return to the uk next week. thank you very much indeed. good to see the golden swan was behaving itself. face coverings are mandatory for everyone aged over 11 — using public transport in wales from today, museums, cinemas, and beauty salons are also re—opening, but pubs, cafes, and restaurants will have to stay closed for at least another week. "buy one get one free" deals and tv adverts for unhealthy food will be banned as part
7:08 am
of the government's bid to tackle obesity in england. the prime minister said the plans would help "reduce our health risks and protect ourselves against coronavirus". here's our health correspondent lauren moss. it is another drive to get us eating healthy food like this. just off lewisham high street in south london, fresh fruit and vegetable market pictures up four days a week but with many fast food outlets around the corner, even the customers that it can sometimes be ha rd to customers that it can sometimes be hard to make the healthier choice. the right healthy eating options but people do not take them. an option between a watermelon or mcdonald's, i would choose mcdonald's and most people would choose mcdonald's. i would choose mcdonald's and most people would choose mcdonald'sm is important for me to come here. compared this to the supermarket, these are very cheap. i am going to live a healthy life. after the prime
7:09 am
minister promised to review syntax as last year, the government has announced a new obesity strategy. some of the measures were put out to consultation two years ago but stalled. including a ban on advertising food high in fat, sugar and salt before 9pm and on line. an end to promotion of my one and get one free and calorie levels in restau ra nts a nd ta keaways. one free and calorie levels in restaurants and takeaways. this 19—year—old has been campaigning for greater healthy options for young people and a ban forjunkfood adverts for nine p.m.. people say it isa adverts for nine p.m.. people say it is a person ‘s fault, family fault when it recognised environment young people are growing up in is com pletely people are growing up in is completely different to 20—40 years ago. she brought a selection of fruit and snacks and we asked her brother what he would prefer to eat
7:10 am
based on what it looks. the oreos. how many would you have? the whole packet. the advertising has been done and you see a lot of things on suites but not much on vegetables. more than 870,000 hospital admissions were related to obesity in one year alone and one in five children in theirfinal in one year alone and one in five children in their final year of primary school are classified as obese. excess weight can also make people more vulnerable to covid—19. the food and drink federation has called the proposal a slap in the face and want the knock—on effects could be price rises but it looks like the menu and how we see it may be about to change. lauren moss, bbc news. now, how about this for loyalty. a homesick camel has walked one—hundred kilometres, alone, in the desert to go back
7:11 am
to its former owner. after being sold last year the 20—year—old camel trekked through the gobi desert in northern china to try to return to what he believed was his true home. when the original owner found the camel, he was so touched he promised never to sell him again. what a sweet story. the name of the camel and some sort of pun... none of this hump rubbish. can it be high—level? somebody out there has already got a perfect camel pump story out there. now, you've probably got lots of questions when it comes to travelling to and from spain at the moment. nina is going to try and offer some clarity on some of these issues. i was thinking how keen many of us
7:12 am
are wanting to walk away from home, unlike that camel! it's been just over two weeks since holidays to spain were given the green light. but on saturday that all changed with anyone returning from the mainland or the islands now having to quarantine for 14 days upon return. so what does that mean for you and your rights when it comes to cancelling, getting a refund, or claiming on your insurance if you're due to fly out? let's start with mainland spain. if you've booked a package holiday it's likely it will be cancelled but some firms are still operating and you should check. if you've booked flights and accommodation separately through an online travel agent, you'll have to speak to them. if you do decide to travel to mainland spain, any insurance you have will be invalid. when it comes to the spanish islands things get complicated because the foreign office isn't advising against travel so holidays will still go ahead. but you will need to quarantine when you get back. if you don't want to travel because of the new rules, you'll have to speak to your tour operator,
7:13 am
and it will be down to them whether you can rebook or get a refund. joining me now from como, italy is the tui's managing director, andrew flintham. let's be really clear about where tui stands. you going ahead with trips, floods and packages to the ca nary trips, floods and packages to the canary and balearic ireland but cancelled mainland spain? mainland spain, the government has advised against anything but essential travel. however much we all love it, a holiday is not essential, so we cancelled our mainland spain programme. clearly a fairly fast—moving kind of creature so we did not know where we will go next. customers can have a full refund or
7:14 am
a booking for another holiday still operating. to be clear, people travelling to the islands but cannot ta ke travelling to the islands but cannot take the quarantine also can get cancellations? if you can manage the quarantine, we will take you there. if you don't, we will treat it a bit like a cancellation. you will have the opportunity to have your money back or pick somebody else. the tra nsfer back or pick somebody else. the transfer secretary has been unapologetic. can you describe that moment. i cannot imagine what it was like for travel operators. quite a lot of news in the media about whether spain would be in or out. when we got past the deadline, on friday, we heaved a sigh of relief
7:15 am
only to find out on saturday that clearly the advice had changed. to say we're disappointment is an understatement but very quickly had to go into what we needed to do next because we had flights leaving on sunday morning. clearly, we do not wa nt sunday morning. clearly, we do not want any of our customers to be forced to go into quarantine so we took the regrettable but right decision to cancel those flights and contacted those customers and most are built of something else. what has been the reaction from some of your customers? it been heartbreaking. people do look forward to their holidays and the reaction has been positive, of the people we have so far contacted and we are calling every single one of our flights this week, the vast majority want to go somewhere and want to go on holiday somewhere and want to go on holiday so they are trying to rebook something so hopefully we can get them away. or if they want to go to
7:16 am
them away. or if they want to go to the islands, they can accommodate the islands, they can accommodate the quarantine. what would you like to see the government do because there is a subtle distinction between the mainland and islands and yet everyone needs to quarantine so what should happen going forward? we would really like and i think we will need this going forward as the world evolves a kind of nuanced policy so if there is a travel advise that says you can still go to the canaries, would also like to have that act up with a quarantine that obviously is not in place. if there is a trouble advise that that you cannot go, we believe the quarantine should be in place so we really wa nt quarantine should be in place so we really want to regional policy and that will be really important now but if you cast your mind when something like the usa opens, which we all hoped for, and if there is a problem in new york but the florida state is ok, we do not want to have a quarantine on the whole of the usa soi a quarantine on the whole of the usa so i think we need to crack this regional quarantine idea. that could though and further complications and probably families who over the weekend were hovering over the click
7:17 am
buy button for a holiday but because of these complexities have put it off and think they will staycation. what do you say to them? it is complicated. we spent quite a lot of time calling over the travel advice when it came out on saturday so i recognise it is difficult for our customers and if we can have aligned a policy and a regionalised policy, it will be much easier for us to be able to communicate it to customers and we can clearly presented on our website so that they can understand and see exactly the requirements that they will need to fulfil and hopefully those requirements will be straightforward. maybe that is something we need to get our heads around going forward. ryanair announced losses of $169 million between march and june. are you in a position to quantify how much it has cost tui over that period? it has cost tui over that period? it has cost us a significant amount and our chief executive has been out and said in effect the business stopped when the pandemic started and we received no more revenue and actually we have been repaying
7:18 am
customers for holidays that have not gone ahead and actually our costs, we have reduced them and taken advantage of thermo scheme —— furlough scheme, we have been borrowing money to keep the business going and clearly we start to see that trickle of cash coming back in and a bit of optimism returning to the industry so i think the whole industry is in a really challenging place and we need the government to come and help us on some things like air passenger duty, to avoid us paying that we had some real significant challenges to get through this winter. we are confident we will be there and confident we will be there and confident we will take customers on holiday next summer but it will be a tough winter. the chancellor has previously said there are so many industries in dire straits at the moment and there is no way he could give airlines for example preferential treatment so what do you say to that? we recognise that every industry is massively impact, although to be honest, some industries are more impacted than others. in some industries i think
7:19 am
the impact of the pandemic will go on for longer so we were the first to be impact, we repatriated 45,000 customers when this happened. now as you can see we will be continuing to be impacted is with a hot spots p°ppin9 be impacted is with a hot spots p°pping up be impacted is with a hot spots popping up and as customers change their travel plans so i think we will have the longest impact of any of the sectors and therefore i think we are a more special case than somebody who is more a general industry on the high street where customers can actually get to enjoy their product. undoubtably a difficult time for airlines. thank you. you will hear from difficult time for airlines. thank you. you will hearfrom simon calder shortly but it is important to say that where you stand financially in terms of refunds and changes it depends who you have booked with and equally if you are forced to quarantine when you get home, talk to your employer, you are not automatically entitled to be paid. i am sure something calder will have more for us this morning.
7:20 am
so much confusion today and there is not a simple answer but a simple question, what are your rights if you are planning on going to spain or the spanish islands? 0k, let me see if i can do this in 45 seconds flat. if you have booked a package holiday with tui, the biggest tour operator, then you are able, if you wa nt operator, then you are able, if you want one, to get a full refund but if you want to carry on with your holiday to the island, where there is no foreign office advice, you will also get your, you can take the holiday instead. tui, liu jet2, they are taking a really stern attitude, they are saying there is no foreign office warning against going to the balearic of the canary islands so we are going to take you there and if you do not want to go, but is effectively your problem. flights are going ahead and they will even ta ke are going ahead and they will even take you there against foreign office advice! which is quite unprecedented, in my experience. they will take you to the mainland. this is all to do of course with a
7:21 am
complication that the islands and the mainland are treated differently by the foreign office but not by the department for transport! and in terms of flight bookings, easyjet, british essay if you do not want to go we understand and you can change your flight and get a voucher but your flight and get a voucher but you are not getting your money back. ryanair says ethically, you are not getting your money back. rya nair says ethically, the you are not getting your money back. ryanair says ethically, the flights are going and if you do not use it, you will lose it. so if people are in already spain, for example, what are their rights? do they stay, do they come home, they have any choice? anybody who wants to get home early because, for example, they have depressing commitments and they have depressing commitments and they think i have to quarantine for a fortnight and i want to start as soon as possible, they will have to sort out a new flight with their airline with their holiday company and that is likely to be expensive. otherwise they have simply got to bite the bullet and say ok, will be stuck indoors for two weeks. no going out, no walking the dog, no exercise. and furthermore, there is
7:22 am
only one way to reduce the amount of time that you spend in quarantine and that is to go on another holiday! 0k. simon, let's look, because this is kind of pick holiday season and so many people will have booked the holidays, or thinking about it. what about other countries because this happened so quickly. could it happen with other countries. of course, the foreign secretary yesterday dominic raab said it certainly could happen and thatis said it certainly could happen and that is so destabilising in confidence. we had the tui boss saying it is ok because people are keen to book holidays but actually this is going to have serious implications on the confidence of people. travel is all about buying dreams and instead people are thinking what happened to those poor people stuck in spain, they did not sign upfor people stuck in spain, they did not sign up for quarantine and they have it and it is turned into a nightmare and it is being called the martini manners because quarantine could in theory happen anytime, anyplace, anywhere and scupper the plans for the next fortnight for many more thousands of travellers —— martini
7:23 am
menace. simon, i am knowing my age for knowing whether comes from. which countries are most likely, can you tell us, to have this sort thing happen? spain was really pressing the nuclear button, this was by far the nuclear button, this was by far the biggest holiday destination and i cannot see that being repeated like anything of the same scale and we are seeing spikes but what the travel industry's messages is you have to get used to the idea of spikes popping up here or there. if they are not in holiday regions then do not chart an entire country with the same brush! people in beautiful minorca ijust thinking why the same brush! people in beautiful minorca i just thinking why are we being told we have to quarantine when we are here on this beautiful island and how the any basis of coronavirus and there are big problems in parts of course, the mainland, but that is not relevant if you are on an island —— majorca. everybody wants a more tailored approach to this rather than just a
7:24 am
blanket, right, everyone in spain, you are quarantining. the tui boss was making a point about new york and the whole of america for example so do you think that would be a better way through, in some ways, to have original quarantine in place? that is what other countries are doing. belgian foreign ministry produces this marvellous list of right, you have been to the navarra or catalonia or the aragon region, you are staying indoors for a fortnight. everywhere else, you are fine. and simon, briefly, i know you are looking things all of the time but people sitting there this morning thinking what to do, what is your advice? look, i love travelling, of course! i want to have the anticipation of going somewhere beautiful, sitting on the beach, drinking a beer! enjoying the culture and the weather and the people and everything like that! at the moment though it is really difficult to summon up the
7:25 am
confidence to book anything. i am doing as much travelling as i possibly can but i am booking it all relatively late which of course is doing the travel industry no favours at all. they want money coming in the door right now and at the start of what should have been the busiest week of the summer so far, instead they are just week of the summer so far, instead they arejust going week of the summer so far, instead they are just going to have call centres with people wanting to cancel or change, but understandably, and high—street travel agents will not be taking in any money and they will be trying to with cancellations. simon calder on that not so optimistic note, thank you for speaking to us this morning. lots to think about, isn't there? if you have any questions we will be putting quite a few of those to the ca re putting quite a few of those to the care minister helen whately who will be here in about five minutes' time around the quarantine and coming back from spain and around the question of original quarantine and why it applies to those islands are not as to mainland spain. and also about the government's new obesity plan as well. you have about five minutes so if you want to send a question in, find us in the usual places. nina will importantly talk
7:26 am
about your right if you have to quarantine when you get back. lots of questions about that this morning. it is 25 minutes past seven. a lot of us will be staying at home so what is the weather like? morning, it depends where you are. if you are in the highlands at the moment, this is the kind of view you may have, the skies, this was taken in week by one of our weather watchers but for much of the rest of the uk it is cloudy and wet, rather like in exmouth in devon, taken by another weather watch. the first pa rt another weather watch. the first part of this week, it is looking cool and unsettled but by wednesday, things dry up and as we heading towards friday, it looks like they are going to heat up as well with some parts of the south could be 30 and other parts of the north in the low to force on the high 20s. today, low to force on the high 20s. today, low pressure moves across our shores, taking these weather fronts with the times drag on the
7:27 am
northwards and eastwards and if you look at the isobars which are close together we have gusty winds today, but more on that in a second, but also heavy rain, some of which has been thundering, likely to see more of that are crossing well in south—west england through the morning. the rain pulls out of northern ireland and this trailing fund will bring lighter rain moving across england and wales and then we have some heavy thundery showers following behind. these black circles indicate the gusts of wind, the strength you can expect. particularly strong across the midlands and south—east later on, gusting into the low 40s. these are the temperatures, 15—21 but of course tempered by the strength of the wind and the direction as well, coming from a chilly direction from the north—west. it will blow some of the north—west. it will blow some of the show is coming into night towards the east, as the rain pushes up towards the east, as the rain pushes up into northeast scotland. with all of this going on it is not going to bea of this going on it is not going to be a cold night, with lows between nine and 14. tomorrow, we have the rain across the north—east, it is
7:28 am
going to be another blustery day with gusty winds, blowing the showers in the west at times over towards the east, but you can also see in these charts a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, some bright spells with highs 2014 and 20 degrees. from tuesday into wednesday, the low pressure starts to pull away, still a lot of isobars across the north—east, we have this transient ridge of high pressure building in and another set of funds waiting in the wings. translated, as the low pressure pulls away it will leave residual cloud and some spots of rain across the far north—east of scotland, blustery here. forthe rest of the uk we are looking at fairamount of rest of the uk we are looking at fair amount of cloud, some sunshine around as well, a lot of dry weather, but the ranges waiting in the wings. this is the clutch of weather fronts i showed you. i will be pushing in from the west, moving east with a bit of a change in colours from yellow to amber which is warmer, certainly than we had of late. heading on through the latter pa rt late. heading on through the latter part of the week, thursday we will have rain in the north, dry and
7:29 am
butter in the south, getting warmer and then by the time we get to friday, most of us having dry conditions. look at the temperatures, 24 in inverness, 29, possibly 30, in the south. i will have more later. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. spanish ministers are in talks with the uk government about excluding the canary and balearic islands from the new rules which force british tourists coming home from spain to quarantine for two weeks. let's find out more with care minister helen whately in westminster. good morning. plenty to get through today and lots of people sending him questions and comments and concerns about their foreign holiday. questions and comments and concerns about theirforeign holiday. this will change with regards to spain, why did it have to happen so quick
7:30 am
to? good morning and good to speak to? good morning and good to speak to you. we needed to act quickly and i think the public would welcome that. it was the right thing to do. we saw data coming in from spain at the end of last week showing us the rates of covid—19 were going up rapidly in many parts of spain. we took the advice from the chief medical officer, public health england, thejoint medical officer, public health england, the joint security centre and made a decision and acted decisively to impose a quarantine. after the hard work and sacrifices made during the lockdown period, we cannot take the risk of going back toa cannot take the risk of going back to a situation where you have rising rates of covid happening and it is ha rd rates of covid happening and it is hard for people on holidays in spain but thousands of people are going to be coming back from spain and we need to make sure we did coronavirus down in united kingdom. thousands of
7:31 am
people trying to organise holidays and booking holidays. two of your ministers are in spain at the moment. i know you mentioned the numbers but what was the trigger point? is there a number? people this morning thinking and looking at other countries like france, germany, greece thinking if i can try and predict what will happen that they can then make a decision their holidays in the coming weeks and months. we took the scientific advice on the rates going up in several parts of spain and the overall rate of spain but also the positivity rates, in terms of the proportion of tests coming back positive. people looking to go abroad, i realise it is a really ha rd abroad, i realise it is a really hard thing to look at the foreign office advice, check your travel
7:32 am
insurance, check conditions from your tour operator and you have to be mindful that we are in a global pandemic and we have to continue to keep the situation under review. we put in place the travel corridors so it would be is ever people to go on holidays, recognising people wanted to go on holidays overseas but we had to keep the situation under review and we have taken the right decision to keep the united kingdom and the country first. this is an area of concern is this morning because trying to get clarity on mainland spain and the canary islands and the balearic islands as well. the foreign officers saying all but essential travel to mainland spain but that does not include the ca nary islands and spain but that does not include the canary islands and balearic islands. if you come back from those islands,
7:33 am
you have to quarantine for two weeks on your return to the uk. can you understand why there is a lack of clarity for many viewers and many people planning holidays or on holiday at the moment about what would happen with those islands was back are they going to be changes to government policy on that? the foreign office gives advice on individual risk to a traveller and the islands where the rates are lower, the risk of an individual getting covid is much lower but we have to base it on what is the right thing for the public health of the uk, the uk population and the situation is that some of the islands, the rates are going up and also movement of travel between the islands and the mainland so we had to do islands and the mainland so we had todoa islands and the mainland so we had to do a clear policy that would best protect the uk... so no talk of original quarantine. we have been talking to the boss of tui, and that
7:34 am
is what they are looking. it would make sense look at different regions differently. one thing we saw at the rate was going off across many region. —— going up, people travel to many regions. the decision was taken based to many regions. the decision was ta ken based on to many regions. the decision was taken based on the scientific advice and it was betterfor taken based on the scientific advice and it was better for protecting the public health of the country to have a clear decision for quarantining about having a quarantine for people coming across both mainland and the islands. arancha gonzalez laya talks about measures for the canary islands balearic and, because they are safe and also she points to epidemiological data which is extremely positive and well below that of the uk. in the past fortnight, catalonia saw more than 8500 new infections. the balearic
7:35 am
islands, it was 92. that is a strong case from the spanish foreign minister? we're seeing the rates going up in some locations and not just mainland spain and we are to ta ke just mainland spain and we are to take the scientific and public health advice on what is the best thing that would best protect the uk. we have been through an incredibly tough time at all the sacrifices made during the down, all the things being missed, the consequences for our economy we do not want to see a second spike in winter. —— during the lockdown. we have to do what is right for the public health of the nation. do you have a foreign holiday booked?” haven't, i am have a foreign holiday booked?” haven't, iam hoping have a foreign holiday booked?” haven't, i am hoping to go on holiday in the uk. would you consider that or if you change your mind based on what happened? every
7:36 am
yearfor mind based on what happened? every year for the last few years, we have gone on holiday in the uk but i would say to people planning to go abroad, look carefully at the situation. you have to weigh up the risk, look at the advice, look at your insurance and be aware that the reality is we are in a global pandemic and we have to do what is the right thing for the health of the right thing for the health of the nation. the other thing people talking about this morning is a right to quarantine. one set, if you have an employer that says you will lose yourjob if you do not come in and the government says you have to quarantine, what do you do? we are asking employers to be supportive and understanding in that situation. there are people who went on holiday to spain not expecting to quarantine when they come back and now they are having to quarantine because that is the right thing for protecting the health of the country. what we have seen all the way through the
7:37 am
pandemic is people taking responsible decisions. many, many employers are supporting their employees at... sorry to interrupt you but how can you be supportive and understanding, how can you do that some people are getting in contact with us already and they will just be contact with us already and they willjust be told to come back into work? it is actually imperative that people who have landed back sent one minute after midnight on sunday morning must warrant ten because they have been in a country where they have been in a country where the rates are higher than in the uk. it is really important that people play their part in protecting the country from the risks of the virus rate coming up again because we know the consequences of that. as i say, we need employers to be understanding and supportive. government has provided a huge amount of support to businesses over the last few months and that support is ongoing. millions ofjobs funded
7:38 am
through the furloughed scheme, business rate exemptions, help with vat, so much supportive. it is important that businesses are supportive of people going on quarantine. a travel expert talking about the martini menace that quarantine may come anytime, anyplace anywhere with spikes in france and germany. people planning trips to countries like that in the next few days and weeks. might we see similar restrictions implemented in those countries? what you and people in britain would like to see is keeping the situation and keeping the united kingdom say. any rate going up, we would have to take action. i have to speak to you about
7:39 am
obesity as well. lots of question with regards about spain and thank you for addressing some of those. with previous governments, on the issue of obesity, governments trying to implement different measures. what is different about these measures? is it just what is different about these measures? is itjust what we saw what is different about these measures? is it just what we saw two yea rs measures? is it just what we saw two years ago reheated? this is a big, bold and ambitious policy to address one of the greatest health challenges of our time with two—thirds of adults in this country being overweight or obese, one in three children leaving primary school overweight, one in five leaving primary school obese, and the consequences of being overweight are the consequences of being overweight a re really the consequences of being overweight are really serious. a much greater risk of diabetes, what we see with covid is greater of and indeed of a dying if you are seriously overweight and so that is a real moment for action. what we also have now is a point in time when many
7:40 am
people have change their habits in recent weeks and months stop it is a moment, a reset, to take stock. it is an opportunity to make some different choices about exercise, the food you eat. this is a comprehensive policy which includes giving people the support, the help you want in order to control and reduce your weight if you are overweight and also tackle some of the influences encouraging people to make unhealthy choices, choices they probably would not make if not for the advertising. the front page of the daily telegraph, an article from your boss, matt hancock, gp pays listed for increasing the number of overweight patients referred to swimming classes? we know if people have a conversation about their weight with their gp, it is a very effective moment to talk about your weight... will gps get a pay rise, a
7:41 am
boost if they do that?” weight... will gps get a pay rise, a boost if they do that? i will not go into the specifics of that... boost if they do that? i will not go into the specifics of that. .. but your boss, matt hancock, has written... your boss, matt hancock, has written. . . we your boss, matt hancock, has written... we want to make sure the gps have this conversation. this is just one of the things we are doing. we are promoting and nhs app of the 12th week health programme. that length of time has been shown to make a difference. if you change your habits you can continue a healthy habit afterwards and that is both about eating healthier, losing weight and taking more exercise and we're going support people to make the sort of decisions they like to make hard to make in practice. some concerns about calories, for instance. calories being published
7:42 am
on menus for certain restaurants because, when we have spoken to ministers about facemasks in recent weeks, the response has been we trust the great british public to act on that because of commonsense and yet, in a restaurant, surely you know that a bag of chips is going to have far more calories than a plate of salad. there is an understanding of salad. there is an understanding of that and it is far more to do with nutrition rather than the number of calories? this set of policy is involved by the guidance to the science. one thing we know is that people tend to eat more to consume more calories if they are eating out. a large proportion of the british public is eating out and we do not want to stop that but we wa nt to we do not want to stop that but we want to enable people to make informed choices and actually the information the size tells us is that many people do not know the
7:43 am
calories in the things they are eating, particularly when they are eating, particularly when they are eating out... surely most people know that salad is healthier than a bag of chips. what i think is helpful to say, this policy is drawn on the evidence of what would make a difference and help people make good choices. we know that many people are overweight and most people do not want to be overweight. it is just hard to make those choices that would help you lose weight and one of those things is it does not happen overnight, it is a consequence over an extended period of time, eating a little bit less, building up gradually over time and losing weight is about changing those habits and we want to give people the information, the support so they can do whatever they want to do. are you concerned there is a bit of mixed messaging? encouraging
7:44 am
people to eat out for example. of mixed messaging? encouraging people to eat out for examplem of mixed messaging? encouraging people to eat out for example. it is important for the economy and hospitality sector for people to be indeed eating at restaurants, in pubs but that can be handing hand in making the healthy choices so, on a menu, that would be choices and to know the number of calories what you have consumed. helen whately thank you for talking to us. i was speaking to tom watson, who went on a big weight loss programme and we spoke about what worked for him and what might work as well. that is coming up in about ten minutes' time. we're also going to talk and then to the premier league season. was this the longest season ever? it was a dramatic final day in the premier league as aston villa survived the drop but both bournemouth and watford were relegated to the championship.
7:45 am
a 1—1 draw at west ham ended being enough to keep villa in the top flight — local hero and captainjack grealish with their goal. they stayed up after watford lost at arsenal. and although eddie howe's bournemouth managed to beat everton 3—1, it wasn't enough to save them. my my condolences go out to watford and eddie, obviously, at bournemouth and ican eddie, obviously, at bournemouth and i can only think how they feel now but eddie is a fantastic manager and fantastic coach and a good person who has done unbelievable with bournemouth so too out of the three that were going so my condolences go to them but proud of the magnificent achievement by aston villa. gracious from dean smith there. at the other end of the table, manchester united and chelsea were the big winners as they finished in the top four, guaranteeing champions league football next season. united just needed a point against leicester, but got all three. jesse lingard scoring the second in a 2—0 win after a big error
7:46 am
from kasper schmeichel. it means leicester miss out after spending 325 days inside the top four this season. chelsea finished fourth after beating wolves. all the results and reaction to a really busy day's football on the bbc sport website and app. a final day that did not disappoint. england's charge towards a series win against the west indies might be thwarted by the rain. the forecast for old trafford today is not good. stuart broad was the star on day three as he took six to finish off the west indies' first innings at old trafford. england then had a bit of fun with the bat, adding a load of quick runs to set the tourists an unlikely 399 runs to win the third test. broad then went to work again, taking two more wickets before the close of play. he's nowjust one away from his 500th test wicket. the windies are 10—2 going into day four. asi as i say, the weather forecast at old trafford is not looking good and
7:47 am
asi old trafford is not looking good and as i walked in this morning, wet, windy, the waves lapping on the shipping canal outside and it is not a day for playing cricket. what a shame. thank you. it has been a decent series though. could testing passengers arriving in the uk from spain be an alternative to the 14—day quarantine? let's take a look at that now. the measure has already been implemented in parts of europe. in france, all passengers arriving from high—risk countries are tested. it's voluntary at germany airports right now, but it may become compulsory with concerns arrivals aren't isolating. and in the netherlands, they're singling out people coming from specific areas with high infection rates, including leicester. so might we see a similar system in the uk? we're joined now by david evans, the chief executive of collinson, a company that want to carry out covid tests in uk airports, and good morning to you. give us an idea of why you think testing would be effective in this way. good
7:48 am
morning. having listened to your broadcast this morning the testing is important because it removes this blunt instrument that we have at the moment which is this blanket quarantine. what testing does is enable you to test and make sure that if you are free from this virus that if you are free from this virus that you can get on with your day and you don't have to have the 14 day lockdown. many people will have that, even though they will be com pletely that, even though they will be completely free from the virus. what about those, and quite a few voices talking about this over the past 24 hours understandably because it has been raised, testing inbound packages —— passengers would not work because of the incubation period? i think it is incorrect advice. what testing can do is, the pcr test and we have mentioned this a numbertimes, it pcr test and we have mentioned this a number times, it is the test of the nhs uses and it was being used at the peak of the virus here in the uk, where if you were showing symptoms, you are asked to take the test and if it was negative you were going back to work when the virus was really right through here in the
7:49 am
uk. the 14 days, it can be 14 days for the virus to clear through your system but actually you can be coming back showing no symptoms and the test will pick up virus and that is what is really important to understand, it is an sensitive test. your plan b for passengers to pay for this at the airport? but is the only option that we have got nothing obviously it would be nice to see the government help to do this, to get the push to get the economy going but they have done is set a lot of support for industry is already but i think the key thing here is to make this a nonmandatory test, to make it optional, the people who need to get back to work, they can get back in and get their lives going. obviously those who can self isolate who can lock themselves down for a fortnight would not have to do that they can get on with their lives at home. getting back to what you are saying about the incubation period and i'm sure you have read from the baroness in charge of the test and trace nhs system, u nfortu nately charge of the test and trace nhs system, unfortunately although we would love it to be true that if you
7:50 am
have a test today we can be confident in saying you are not infectious and about to come down with the disease, this is not the way the virus works and the point is that she says, a test today is only as good as saying you do not have the disease today. i think it is a lwa ys the disease today. i think it is always the fact that the test today shows you do not have the disease today, unless we are testing people every day throughout this, it is not a viable solution and the key thing for me is about mitigating risk and making sure that we get those people who are infectious and it is making sure we do the test to understand that you have not got the disease as you come into the country. versus when they pick it up at the shops in today's time. really interesting to talk to you, david. ceo of collinson who will see if they can do those test at uk airports, thank you for speaking to us. coming up to ten minutes to eight o'clock. people trying to lose weight face many hurdles and challenges, so what difference will the government's plans to tackle obesity in england make to them? labour deputy leader tom watson decided to take control of his diet after being diagnosed
7:51 am
with type 2 diabetes. hejoins us from his home in essex. sorry, that is former labour deputy leader, of course. good morning. good morning! first question, you did a dramatic weight loss programme and how are you right now? feeling great. feeling great because i am not the deputy leader of the labour party! i have a much easier life! obviously i feel great because i lost a lot of weight and i brought my blood pressure down and reversed type 2 diabetes. and that is really what is on offer today with this new obesity strategy. it is a little bit late but better late than never. i am really, really pleased that the prime minister has stumped his leadership on it because as a nation, there is so much on offer, millions of people who could rid themselves of medication and the problems caused by obesity so it is good news today. what was it that made the difference for you because
7:52 am
it isa made the difference for you because it is a hard thing to do. it was really ha rd it is a hard thing to do. it was really hard and i was in denialfor a long time. you know, there is a lot of men like me with busy lives in thinking they are important and denying the things that are really important which is your family and health and for me, i wanted to live, i wanted to live for my kids, and this voice grew bigger and louder in my head until eventually i could not ignore it and then i had to start but it was a really difficult, you know, the first time you start a health journey, the first step is the hardest but you make improvements very quickly and if you can sort of mentally bank them, the benefits are fantastic. king specifically at what the government is talking about, a ban onjunk specifically at what the government is talking about, a ban on junk food tv adverts before nine pm and ending those deals that you may see on unhealthy food. would either of those have made a difference to you? i'm not sure about the tv advertising for me personally. the junkfood deals, definitely. when i
7:53 am
go to the supermarket now there are now isles of food that are lost to me. they are high in sugar, ultra processed, and i don't go down them. a packet of chocolate biscuits on a high one, get one free and i would have been in there straightaway while ago but not anymore. would you have eaten both? yeah, i mean, i'm not joking, have eaten both? yeah, i mean, i'm notjoking, if i had gone down the aisle i would have looked at the marketing offer and i would have started to salivate. if you gave me one chocolate biscuit i would have had to eat the whole packet, three orfour had to eat the whole packet, three or four years ago, had to eat the whole packet, three orfour years ago, because i would consider myself a reform sugar addict and i think there are a lot of people who are in a similar position, but perhaps don't recognise that in themselves yet. so this will help, i'm sure. and obviously one thing missing from the announcement that would be better, i
7:54 am
think, and that is to extend the sugar levy to sugary drinks and that is particularly important because four out of ten kids living primary school are overweight or obese. they get most of their sugar from fizzy drinks and sugary drinks like that so that is missing but overall, i think this is a good announcement. so the extension that you would have liked to see the sugar tax and price people out of the market or how would it work in your view?” people out of the market or how would it work in your view? i mean, this could be george osborne's legacy in my view, he is the one who fought the food producers to bring the levy in on fizzy drinks in the first place. what that actually meant was half of the fizzy pop makers reduced the sugar in their products and reformulated their products and reformulated their products and reformulated their products and it is very good leader that the treasury can use to make these global food corporations take sugar out of the products sell to us. and in the end, that is the only
7:55 am
way we're going to crack this, i think, which is looking at food production and get into the heart of it but these measures today are a great step in right direction.” have talked about this for some time but now particularly about prescribing cycling for example. would you have responded to that? i would have done and in fact one of the things i wrote about in my book downsizing, when i was diagnosed as type ii diabetes, i was immediately medicalised. i was given medication for me. had my very enterprising gp have the tools available to perhaps prescribe me a month in a gym with a personal trainer, it may have been, i could have made the intervention earlier. so, yeah, i know people may scoff at it but a gp talking to their patient earlier in their health, perhaps when they are obese rather than prediabetic and encouraging them to lead more active lives and change their nutrition, hopes referring them to a nutritionist, is a really important intervention and matt hancock the
7:56 am
secretary of state for health, i think he understands this deeply that, you know, you should try to shift the emphasis to health prevention rather than dealing with the problems when they arise. really briefly, is there one thing, the new healthy tom watson will tell the previous tom watson? lay off the chocolate biscuits, tom! sounds like really sound advice. thank you indeed for speaking to us, tom watson. best of luck. take care. if you can control it, though, there is a good chocolate biscuit to be dunked ina a good chocolate biscuit to be dunked in a cup of tea. stop! you are the one who was... isn't there? as long as you can control it in moderation, chocolate biscuit... are you stumping up for the chocolate biscuit makers? it is like bread. bread is a lovely thing but because people have changed their diet a lot, bakers are struggling up there. we can try these things in moderation. nothing wrong with a chocolate biscuit now and then, i'm
7:57 am
sure. i chocolate biscuit now and then, i'm sure. lam probably chocolate biscuit now and then, i'm sure. i am probably in trouble! catching up with carol. that is not a good sign, is it, good a good sign, is it, catching up with carol. that is not a good sign, is it, good morning. morning, lou, a lot of rain around this morning, cloudy for most of us as well but one or two exceptions. this rain is moving northwards and also eastwards through the course of the day. you can see how it has been falling through the night, with a front across the north—west of scotland, rain piling on across northern ireland, across scotland, england and wales. these splashes indicate we have some thunderstorms already this morning and there are more in the forecast —— flashes. the pressure is driving the weather so the first front is north and the second is eased and those isobars are second is eased and those isobars a re close second is eased and those isobars are close so a gusty day, particularly later on across the midlands in south east england but especially on the coasts and hills. through the morning into the afternoon the rain clears northern ireland, moves across scotland, it will be still quite heavy. after the dry start in the highlands, feeling cool as well in the wind and rain.
7:58 am
14 degrees the top temperature in aberdeen. one or two showers in northern ireland. this is the line of showers which will be heavy and thundery, moving across england and wales and this is the weather front continuing to put eastwards with lighter rain on it across the south—east. temperatures today 15—21 but tempered by the gusty winds. through this evening and overnight, the rain ends up across the far north—east of scotland. it will be a fair bit of cloud around. showers in the west up loan on the gusty winds over towards the east and with all that going on, it is not going to be a cold night. overnight lows between nine and 14. tomorrow, we pick up this rain and also the gusty winds across the north—east of scotland, still the showers coming in from the west, and coming in on the north—westerly wind, blowing over towards the east once again. there will be a lot of dry weather around tomorrow as well, as you can see on the chart, so bright skies, some sunny intervals with highs 14 in lerwick, 19 in cardiff, 20 in
7:59 am
london. other timing to wednesday the low pressure producing this rain is pulling away and leaving some residual cloud across the north—east of and some drizzle here and some breezes but for the rest of the uk, the winds will abate and the temperatures will be higher so it will feel that little bit warmer, top temperatures 22. by the end of the day, a new clutch of fronts come our way, into western parts of the northern ireland addict —— western parts of the oil in ireland and bringing some rain and into thursday they will push dudley north with wales, northern england, northern ireland and scotland. south of that, drier and brighter conditions, lighter winds, sunshine, and temperatures starting to climb. on thursday, highs from around about 27 but if you are in the cloud and rain further north, looking at about 14-15 further north, looking at about 14—15 or maybe 19 in glasgow, feeling a bit cooler, but if you like it warmer, by the time we get to friday, it looks very much like
8:00 am
temperatures are going to rise. in fa ct temperatures are going to rise. in fact in some southern areas, we could see highs as high as 30 which will be the first time thisjuly we have seen it. in the north, about 24. the headlines are coming up. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: calls for spain's holiday islands to be excluded from new quarantine rules, as travel companies say they fear for their future. if you're back with a bump from your holiday, and are being forced to stay at home, can you expect to get paid? i'll look at where you stand. junk food tv adverts before the watershed could be banned under new plans to tackle obesity. it's the great escape for aston villa, as they dodge relegation from the premier league on the final day of the season. but watford and bournemouth go down. at home with the murrays — britain's most famous tennis
8:01 am
family talk lockdown, keeping in touch and the trouble with video calling judy? morning. you are on mute. you are on mute. which is fine. keep it that way. it's monday, 27thjuly. our top story. officials in the balearic and canary islands are trying to negotiate an exemption to new rules forcing british tourists returning from spain to self—isolate for two weeks. they say infection rates on the islands are low. meanwhile, the travel industry is warning that these new quarantine requirements could leave some firms unable to survive. we can now get more from andy moore, who is at gatwick airport. morning, andy. lots of viewers thinking about
8:02 am
holidays in the coming weeks and months and many people in spain. the rules have changed over the weekend. run us through it all? yes, it is a complicated situation. when those air bridges were established earlier this month a lot of people thought of the door to foreign travel had been opened. now a lot of people, especially in the travel industry, think that a door has been slammed shutin think that a door has been slammed shut in theirface think that a door has been slammed shut in their face once again. a lot of the airlines, like individual travellers, going through the guidelines trying to figure out what they mean. some airlines will continue to fly to mainland spain. others are not. it is estimated there are 600,000 british holiday—makers currently in spain. when they come back, as it stands they will have to go into quarantine, into self isolation for a period of 14 days. that applies to anybody coming back from any part of spain. it is mainland spain, the ca nary islands and spain. it is mainland spain, the canary islands and the balearics. some of the regional governments are
8:03 am
lobbying for exemption from those rules. this is what the spanish foreign minister had to say. our efforts are focused around excluding from the quarantine measures the balearic and the canary islands for two reasons. number one, these are islands, very safe. number two, there appeared epi adema logical data is extremely positive, well below epidemiological data in the uk. what is quarantine actually mean? you will have to provide an address you are going to. you can be fined if you don't provide that address. you have got to try to avoid public transport in getting there if you can. and once you have reached that place, it really is a stay at home apart from exceptional circumstances. it is a more stringent lockdown than the quarantine we all experienced earlier the year. you can't exercise the dog, you can't go shopping. hopefully somebody can provide you with food or you can go online
8:04 am
shopping. if you don't like the sound of that and breach the guidelines, you could face a £1000 fine. we're told that one in five people, there will be a check of some sort to make sure you are following that guidance. andy, thank you for that. interesting information. andy moore at live at gatwick airport. there is politics behind this. our political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. there have been so many discussions about why they reached this decision. morning. yes, good morning. it is a reminder of the swell of uncertainty that surrounds so many aspects of our lives as far as coronavirus is concerned. the government was determined to put in place these air bridges to open up the prospect of a foreign holiday, the prospect of a foreign holiday, the chance to get away from it all and forget about things back home. but of course the problem is looking at the date said there is always the chance that confidence disappears and the brakes are slammed on. here
8:05 am
on breakfast the conversation has been playing out between holiday—makers, holiday companies and the government following this decision. a plea from the boss of dui, the travel company, for more su btlety dui, the travel company, for more subtlety in how the government makes its decisions in the future. we really want a regional policy. really important now. if you cast your mind forward to when the united states opens up, if there is a problem in new york for the florida state is ok, we don't really want to have a quarantine on the whole of the united states. we need to crack this regional quarantine a day —— idea. the government is considering this. it is aware of the need to try to be su btle it is aware of the need to try to be subtle where it can be but that is not always possible. it was something that was discussed, would it make sense to look at different regions differently? one thing we saw was the rate was going
8:06 am
up thing we saw was the rate was going up across many regions of spain. also, people travel between regions, so you get a situation where people may go from one to the other. it was much better, the decision was taken on scientific advice, much better for protecting the public health of the country to have a clear decision on people quarantining coming back from mainland spain and the islands. labour say this shows there is now a sense of panic and a loss of control from the government, although they do endorse the idea that it is important to look at the data and for the government to react to that data. the shadow home secretary will be here shortly. the government is unapologetic about what it has done. it says it has to be driven by the information it examines. that throws up information it examines. that throws up the possibility there could be further such changes of heart as far as travellers are concerned elsewhere. chris, thank you. as we've heard, officials in the balearic and canary islands are trying to negotiate an exemption
8:07 am
to these new rules. mairead smyth is in majorca. morning, mairead. i don't know if you heard helen whately say they had looked at an exemption. what is the reaction to that news and the latest from the island this morning? well, you really get the feeling monday morning couldn't have come around fast enough. ministers representing majorca, menorca, the canary islands as well, the health minister on the balearic islands says the situation here is entirely different from mainland spain. look at the epidemiology in catalonia and parts of northern spain that have been around 8500 cases in the last two weeks, only 90 here for the balearics. it is an entirely different scenario here. that push will come today from patricia gomez, the health minister for will come today from patricia gomez,
8:08 am
the health ministerfor the balearics. she is going to meet the british ambassadorfor balearics. she is going to meet the british ambassador for majorca to try to push for a change to the regulations. to insist really that holiday—makers here, when they return to the uk, won't be subject to that quarantine, that two weeks of isolation. much stricter than anyone will have encountered during lockdown really when they return from their holidays. that push is coming. we obviously don't know what the impact will be on that. but as you say, that insistence that they have to treat spain as a whole, as one, when they brought in the quarantine on saturday night, much to the shock of us and all of the other holiday—makers here as well. that push will come today. it probably won't make much difference in the short term. perhaps within a few days there may be some changes. the difference here is that people can still travel to the balearics. you can still travel to the canary islands. it is just that you will have two weeks of quarantine when
8:09 am
you return. it will be very interesting to see if changes can be made and that places like this can be exempt from those changes brought in at the weekend. 0k, in at the weekend. ok, we will follow that one. thank you. buy one get one free deals and tv adverts for unhealthy food will be banned as part of the government's bid to tackle obesity in england. the prime minister will unveil the strategy later, which will also include new rules for displaying calories on menus. the plans come amid growing evidence of a link between an increase risk from coronavirus and obesity. david beckham has joined the duke of cambridge on a video call to raise awareness about mental health in football. the pair werejoined by a number of high profile names from across the sport, as the game pledges to make mental health a key priority at all levels. on the call, beckham spoke about the abuse he received after his sending off in the 1998 world cup. social media was around when i was
8:10 am
going through that time in 98. it would have been a whole different story. but i was lucky. i had a support system within manchester united and the manager and obviously family. did i feel at united and the manager and obviously family. did ifeel at the united and the manager and obviously family. did i feel at the time united and the manager and obviously family. did ifeel at the time it was ok to go to someone and say, i need help? no. no. because like i said, it was a different era and i just felt i had to keep it all in and deal with it myself, whereas now i'm the one that is preaching to my kids and also to other kids that i talk to out there, that it's really important to talk. the rescuer became the rescued over the weekend after a st bernard got stuck on england's highest mountain. when four—year—old daisy collapsed walking down scarfell pike — it took five hours and a team of 16 to get her back down. the team scrambled down the mountain carrying daisy on a stretcher.
8:11 am
st bernard's are traditionally on the other side of the rescue mission as they were originally bred to rescue people in the alps. we have been looking into daisy‘s weight. 55 kilos. over eight stone. i know she looks like a big old unit. but actually, that is relatively light for a saint bernard. they can reach 92 kilograms. that is at full tilt. that is 14.5 stone. she is still quite heavy. every time i see a dog being rescued i just quite heavy. every time i see a dog being rescued ijust think thank goodness there are people like that it will go up mountains and look after us. thank you. well done for doing theirjob incredibly well. the changes to quarantine rules for those returning from spain, have left many holidaymakers unsure about whether to stay or go. simon browning has been speaking to some of those left in limbo, and some whose plans have been completely ruined. it's the tweet that has ruined
8:12 am
the summer holidays of thousands. late on saturday afternoon, before the government made it official, the news broke that you'd need to quarantine when returning from spain. get back by midnight on saturday — or it's self—isolation for two weeks. the race was on. these passengers just made it to manchester. flights changed to beat the deadline. it was crazy. it all happened so quickly. no—one knows what is 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. the end ofjuly — time to pack the cases and head away. the lure of sun, sea and long, warm evenings. and on saturday thousands did just that, with no idea of the immediate changes coming. it is a bit of a shock, i must admit. it wasn't expected, because the plane was full. there wasn't a spare seat, hardly. so obviously lots of people in the same boat. cases packed, passports, tickets, facemasks we've got to buy... andy should have been
8:13 am
flying on sunday morning, with his wife and three children. they were desperate to get away. they've all had coronavirus. initially it was shock and devastation for the kids, really. they'd been looking forward to it — it has been booked for a year. and basically we had half—an—hour, me and my wife, what do we do? it'sjust not responsible to get to spain and then come back and have quarantine. it's no good for my employer for me to be working from home. you can only do so much from home. your wife working from social care, it must be a bit of a blow. she must be really in need of a break? she has had a tough time of it, to be honest. since the lockdown she's been working 12—hour shifts, saturday, sunday, so she has not been seeing me or the kids, really, at the weekends. so it was a chance for us to spend quality time together as a family. we love spain. 16 million trips are made there every year from the uk. 10,000 flights are scheduled to head out to the costas and the spanish islands by the end of august. but what about those who are already
8:14 am
halfway through their holidays? just tell me what was it like, that moment you found out, last night, that the quarantine policy had been removed from spain? we got back to the apartment at about five or six o'clock and the phone pings — bbc news, quarantine for two weeks. first thing we knew about it. all hell broke loose. all the family were panicking, "what are we going to do?" how did that leave you feeling as a family last night? i would imagine lots of discussions over the tapas? we put the rose on ice. we tried to work out what we're going to do. i cancelled a few work meetings. itjust put a dampener on the evening, really. obviously you're on the beach this afternoon, strutting around without your top on, but are you regretting going over to spain now? spain have absolutely done everything by the book. yesterday afternoon, we went for lunch. they disinfected your hands when you got there, temperature check when we got there, they were all wearing masks.
8:15 am
it seems spain s being penalized for it. the government has maintained that the public health of the uk comes first, but with such a rapid switch in policy, the sun we have all spent months longing for is fading away and seeming out of reach for this summer. simon browning, bbc news. so many people will be making decisions about whether they still go on holiday, what it means for them. nina's here to tell us what these quarantine rules mean for employees. i wish we had a simple answer for this but none of this is simple. good morning. we have heard what the rules are about travelling to and from spain. you may well be returning from spain today and wondering if you are going to get paid. where do you stand when it comes to work? the first thing to say is it very much depends on your employer. in most circumstances they don't actually have to pay you. the foreign secretary, dominic raab, said employers ought to be
8:16 am
sympathetic, but labour have said that doesn't go far enough and have called for a specific support for isolating workers. what are your options if you are already in spain? contact your employer as as soon as possible. you could have options, including working from home, taking annual leave or perhaps taking unpaid leave. if you are still hoping to travel, it's a little bit unclear. again, talk to your boss. a week's holiday could cost three weeks leave. you might be able to reach an arrangement but you might have to cancel your holiday and hope for a refund or a transfer to avoid losing your income. the starting point is there is no law requiring employers to be understanding, no matter how many statements are made by cabinet ministers encouraging them to do so. they are not required to pay statutory sick pay during quarantine and they are not required to pay salary for a period of absence when the employee is not an annual leave or not attending work. a lot of
8:17 am
people will lose out financially at a time when very few people can afford to do that. it is worth thinking about the fact there are a few exemptions to the quarantine rules. if you regularly work abroad, for example, or you are in the travel industry. but for most people if you break the rules you could be left with a fine of up to £1000 in england and £480 in scotland. we have had so many e—mails about this this morning. it is not just about the upcoming trips. people are wondering about holidays into late august and september. this is spooking consumers. as we have seen, things can change so quickly. thank you very much indeed. imagine scotland. scotland has eased its quarantine measures for passengers arriving from spain, and put them back into force again — all in less than a week. the scottish government had originally held off on adding spain to its original list of exempt countries. lets speak now to scotland's national clinical director, professorjason leitch. good morning. thank you for talking to us. i wanted to speak to you specifically about spain in a
8:18 am
moment. to pick up on nina plus my point about the questions we are getting about the weeks and months ahead, what is your professional advice this morning to those who are watching and many others who will see this clip, hopefully on social media through the course of the day, and what of the thoughts, what the processes should be about booking a holiday in the coming weeks?m processes should be about booking a holiday in the coming weeks? it is so difficult, dan. the public health advice is straightforward. the decision making by the politicians is so difficult. the who say one of the biggest risks we now face is importation of new cases from places with a higher infection rate then you have in your country. think of it as you have in your country. think of itasa you have in your country. think of it as a gradient. if the countries have the same level of infection, then you are not adding much risk to you. if they are higher than you are, if you allow transportation from that high concentration plays to the low concentration place, you are at risk to your country. so easy for some. so you don't want anybody from brazil to come to the uk just
8:19 am
now. you would be happy for people to come from new zealand to the uk right now. they are the two extremes. everything in the middle is much more difficult. and spain lands in the middle bunch. 0k. with spain, as was mentioned in the introduction, it was originally restricted but that was lifted on monday, then put back in over the weekend. in scotland, of course. can you talk to us about the decision—making process with regard to spain specifically, and how quickly that could be reversed? so, the numbers move really fast. this virus, you and i have spoken about this before, how nasty and horrible this before, how nasty and horrible this virus transmits, spreads and that really hurts people. let's remember in all of the conversations about tourism and beaches, 650,000 people have died of this virus. 60 million people have been infected. none of us have ever seen anything like this. this is a global pandemic. now inside that you try to
8:20 am
make choices about business and society and economics. but we are also making them from a public health perspective. so when we opened up to spain, their numbers fell below ours. the security centre give the data for the whole of the uk. they look around the world. the boffins do calculations and they tell us the prevalence. the prevalence is one element. it fell to below scotland's. earlier last week we said, ok, we are going to allow non—quarantine travellers from spain. then on thursday and friday and saturday, spain's numbers doubled. so they had 11,000 infections on friday and saturday. we had 119 in a week. we had 119 in the same week they had 11,000. so that made us look at the tables again and our advice then, not the decisions, our advice, we thought,
8:21 am
reg retta bly we decisions, our advice, we thought, regrettably we have to look again at spain. we have just spoken to the ca re spain. we have just spoken to the care ministerfrom spain. we have just spoken to the care minister from westminster and we spoke to her about have the options of regionalised lockdowns. if you are watching this this morning and the balearic islands, where there have been 92 cases of coronavirus in the last two weeks, what is that decision—making process with regards to a regional lockdown and a blanket ban on, a blanket quarantine and anybody coming back from spain? i think that's something we will be able to look at. i'm not sure if the results of eight... the data when you get lower down is hard. scotland has shetland and orkney, with different infection rates from glasgow and edinburgh. leicester has a different set of infection numbers from london. so when you start to get regional it gets a little bit more difficult. i understand the canaries and the balearics are isolated from mainland spain. they are quite a long way
8:22 am
away. i am spain. they are quite a long way away. iam hopeful that spain. they are quite a long way away. i am hopeful that when we get that data things might be able to change. but when you have to act quickly with the gradient we described, it's a fairly blunt tool to ask people to come home and isolate for 14 days. but it is about saving society from increased numbers rather than individuals. professor, i totally understand that, i am interested to know whether you think, for a country like spain, a regional quarantine might be possible? would you support something like that?” might be possible? would you support something like that? i think regional quarantines for something like that? i think regional quara ntines for islands something like that? i think regional quarantines for islands is a possibility. ithink regional quarantines for islands is a possibility. i think regional within the mainland countries, if you forgive the answer, that gets more difficult because the borders are porous, people are moving in and out. one final question, we are looking at this issue of potentially testing at airports. we have had somebody on who said it could be a simple solution. it has worked in
8:23 am
other countries. the counterargument is about the incubation period. how could that affect a quarantine?” is about the incubation period. how could that affect a quarantine? i so wish it could. i so wish it could test at the airport fast, get the results by quickly and no quarantine. do people think we haven't thought of that? of course we have. it just haven't thought of that? of course we have. itjust simply won't do what we needed to do. this is monday. catch the virus today in spain, itest monday. catch the virus today in spain, i test you tomorrow, you probably won't show any virus. then you might show it next saturday. in the meantime a spread has been possible may be on thursday and friday. it simply doesn't work. so it may be part of a solution around quarantine testing and all kinds of other things but it does not remove the need for quarantine. you can do it in australia. australia will test you on arrival and they will then ta ke you on arrival and they will then take you to a quarantine hotel, hold you for two weeks and release you had 14 days. it doesn't reduce the quarantine requirement. interesting
8:24 am
to talk to you as ever, thank you for your time. let's continue talking about some of those themes. labour have labelled the governments decision to remove spain from the safe list as "frankly shambolic". the party say travellers have been left confused and distressed, but the government say it would be worse to "hold back and delay from taking the measures" when they're needed. we're joined now by the shadow home secretary, nick thomas—symonds. thank you forjoining us. you have talked about it being frankly shambolic. what would you have done differently? well, we would have contingency plans in place. there is no concern about taking decisions at speed provided you have those contingency plans. let me give you an example. we are now asking people to come back from abroad and isolate for 14 days. if you look at the government website this morning on qualifications for statutory sick pay, it will tell you you are not entitled to statutory sick pay if you are isolating, or self
8:25 am
isolating, for the sole reason that you have just returned from abroad and not for any other reason. at the same time the government seems to be telling us that people will not lose out because they have got to rely on the goodwill of employees. —— employers. that is not satisfactory. evidence this should have been fully thought through. they should be protective measures at the border when you have a spike in cases in other countries. but you have to have those contingency plans in place to give people the protection and confidence they need. the government to say employers should be sympathetic. do you think they should be offered statutory sick pay or not? of course people should be offered whatever it takes, so they don't lose out. that is what the government has been previously saying. the government itself seems to be saying that people have to be reliant on goodwill. i say that simply is not good enough. people need confidence in these measures. if there are going to be swift decisions when you see spikes in
8:26 am
cases and that can be done, these consequences need to be fully thought through. and the impact on people's lives and the wider aviation at the travel sector needs to be taken into account. we have just heard from professorjason leitch, who says the numbers move really fast. the government acted on the data. do you think quarantine should or should not have happened? protective measures at the border should absolutely have been put in place. we have been pushing for something a bit smarter than the 14 day blanket quarantine, whether it is around test, track and isolate being part of a solution, whether it is temperature testing. you have to put the protective measures in place. nobody is criticising speedy decision making. what we are saying though is you have to be mindful of the consequences. the government knows very well that it may have to ta ke knows very well that it may have to take particular decisions in terms of removing countries from the quarantine list. everyone recognises that. if you are going to do it,
8:27 am
make sure you have the support in place for people that is necessary, so nobody loses out for doing the right thing. and also support the aviation, travel and wider sector upon which so manyjobs rely, to ensure that sector has a viable future. can i ask you about the 14 days quarantine? do you agree that should happen? i agree with protective measures at the border but i have been pushing the home secretary now four months to first of all publish the sage advice. and also to look at if there are smarter ways to avoid that happening. as i have indicated testing can be part of the solution, temperature testing. but all of that questioning that i am putting forward and testing the government on this would not be necessary if the government we re not be necessary if the government were open and transparent and published the evidence. you are absolutely right to say there have to be protective measures in place
8:28 am

picture. not too far away from thirsk in the highlands. don't be full. there is rain on the way. it will remain unsettled the first couple of days of this week. mid week we see something drier coming our way. by friday it is going to be very our way. by friday it is going to be very warm or our way. by friday it is going to be very warm or hot top to toe. but we have today is an area of low pressure bringing one fruit move —— one front moving north, another bringing rain pushing east. we have gusty winds today. some of this rain is heavy and thundery. thunderstorms across parts of wales. south—west england, for example. through the daily rain pulls out of northern ireland across scotland. light rain moves ireland across scotland. light rain m oves a cross ireland across scotland. light rain moves across and wales. a rash of showers which could be heavy and thundery across many areas. in between some drier and brighter conditions but gusty winds. gusty winds later particularly in the midlands and south east england. that will have an adverse impact on the temperatures, 14 to 21 at best.
8:30 am
it will not feel cooler today. as we head through the evening and overnight, the rain pushes into the north—east. there will be showers in the west. loan on the gusty winds towards the east. and some clear skies. but it is not going to be a cold night. temperatures falling between nine and 14 degrees. tomorrow we start off with the rain across north east of scotland. it is going to be another gusty day. the northern half see the strongest wind. showers in the west towards the east. a lot of dry weather between them. even some sunshine. the temperatures tempered by that point. 15 in lerwick, 20 in london. as we move from tuesday into wednesday, low pressure pulls away but it will still be quite windy in the north—east. a ridge of high pressure settling things down before the next clutch of front two, or away. residual cloud and blustery conditions in the north—east of scotland, dampness for a time, a lot
8:31 am
of dry weather, bright skies and sunshine, before later in the day d front two comes in from the west. that will introduce rain. that will push steadily north—east as we go through wednesday into thursday. look at the temperature difference. the yellows are replaced by the ambers, indicating it will warm up. rain in the north on thursday, brighter in the south. and on friday a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine. in fact, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine. infact, some a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine. in fact, some parts of the south could hit 30 degrees. if they do so, that will be the first time thisjuly do so, that will be the first time this july that has happened. welcome back, everyone. you're watching breakfast with dan and louise. it is 8:31am. banning junk food adverts before 9pm and an end to deals on unhealthy food — these are part of the government's plans to tackle obesity in england.
8:32 am
the measures have been largely welcomed by campaigners, but how easy is it to change habits? and what's it like to live with the stigma of being overweight? jayne mccubbin has been finding out. it is a national preoccupation. we're chatting waistlines, sir. waistlines. it's already — already gone up! got bigger. hasit? yes. just enough to cuddle — not too much. i like my food. that. this is what you want to get rid of? yeah. with almost two—thirds of adults overweight, the government says this is one of the biggest health crises facing the country. for kirsty and lorraine, it's been a lifelong battle. tell me about you and your relationship with food. if i'm honest, toxic. i've always kind of been a bit of a binge—eater. it's like a love and hate relationship. they've both tried to lose weight but believe this is an addiction, not a lifestyle choice. one which needs intervention, notjudgment. yes, you do feeljudged. i mean, people used to be, "fat cow!" one even threw a burger at me out the van once, and i just froze.
8:33 am
i was on the street, happy, walking down the road, and i'd just got weighed at one of my weigh—in groups, and they threw a burger at me. i was crushed. no, no—one likes to be overweight. no. it's... it's heartbreaking. it's so easy to conveniently binge eat. its such an easy thing to do with all of the apps around, takeaways, with — even when you go to a supermarket all the two—for—one deals, all of the promotions, on sweets and crisps and stuff — and i know people will say "well have some motivation," you know? but they are addictive substances it's hard to say no. to some extent, the government in england agrees. those ads will be axed before 9pm. the deals will be banned. there are a multitude of reasons why we're in this crisis. for some, like andrew and becky, it is about convenience. because somebody sees takeaway adverts and wants one. right. for dawn, it is about cost.
8:34 am
it's not easy, isn't it? it's not easy at all. for others like tracy, this is a generational problem. all me family big. are you worried about your weight? yes, because i've got diabetes now. let's have a rummage in your bag, susan! laughing: oh, you can't be having a rummage! go on! but for so many, it's too easy to make the wrong choices. because we've been working at home... more crisps! ..it'sjust so easy to go to the cupboard. chocolate! but then i tell myself, "if i didn't buy them, they would not be there to eat." will the government's strategy make making the right choices easier? and so we've got three different recipes that we can teach on the course... adele runs a programme which provides basic ingredients and mentoring to help people eat healthy. the problem is that people, a, don't have enough money to buy the right kind of food, they don't know what the right kind of food is, and even if they bought it they don't necessarily know how to cook it.
8:35 am
whatever the reason for this crisis, it costs £6 billion a year to the nhs. and as a major risk factor when it comes to covid—19, the personal cost could not be higher. so you're going to be mentoring kirsty and you've not met her face—to—face yet? it's kind of quite exciting to get to see her. here she is! hi, kirsty! hi. i'm really just excited to try all of these, like, healthy foods that are cost—effective. good luck with everything that lies ahead. thank you. this is a crisis, isn't this, adele? we need to fix this now. we need to fix it. it's... it'sjust not ok the way it is. really interesting, isn't it? joining us now is campaigner and cardiologist dr aseem malhortra, and also tim rycroft from the food and drink federation.
8:36 am
good morning to both of you. lovely to see you on the programme. can we come to you first, dr aseem malhortra? do you think this goes far enough with the government? that isa far enough with the government? that is a really crucial question you have asked. i think these are really positive steps but absolutely no, it doesn't go far enough. i think one thing to say is at least there is a greater acknowledgement that this problem, this obesity epidemic, and we have to remember in 2000 for the world health organisation an an epidemic of global obesity, and 16 yea rs later we have epidemic of global obesity, and 16 years later we have not really achieved very much. that is because we have not tackled the root cause, which the ultra processed food environment. the extent of consumption of these sorts of foods, dan, which are essentially nutrient poon dan, which are essentially nutrient poor, high in starch, sugar, salt, unhealthy oils, for example, is that half of the british diet now is ultra—processed foods. we have shifted away, if you go back 30 or
8:37 am
40 yea rs, shifted away, if you go back 30 or 40 years, what happened to meet and two veg, or the traditional british lunch hour? there has been a cultural shift but a lot has been driven by the food industry, and they have an obligation to make profit for their shareholders, they are not profit for their shareholders, they a re not interested profit for their shareholders, they are not interested in your health, but they get away with very misleading marketing. 27 times more money is spent on advertising confectionery, crisps, sugary drinks, compared to public health education campaigns, so there is a huge imbalance. i think the banning of advertising on tv, and hopefully that will extend to online services as well, is a very positive step, but we need to really think this is food environment issue, and it is a statistic. tragically, we know that 500 health care professionals die because of covid. there are different reasons for that, but one of the biggest reasons is poor underlying metabolic health, and one study suggested that if we have healthier lifestyles possibly half and may be more of those deaths would have been prevented, and that
8:38 am
isa would have been prevented, and that is a really sad state of affairs we have been in because we have neglected public health for a very long time. so much to pick up there with tim rycroft, the chief operating officer for the with tim rycroft, the chief operating officerfor the food and drink federation. firstly, what is your reaction to that ban, for example, on junk food tv adverts?” think it is pretty extraordinary, louise, after four months in which the food and drink industry has been rightly applauded for its heroic efforts to keep the nation fed, going to work when others were staying at home, putting themselves at risk, that we should be rewarded in this fashion, at a time when the economy is in such tenuous shape that we would choose to hit our largest manufacturing sector for food and drink, one of our most successful creative sectors, advertising, and all of this, the advertising, and all of this, the advertising and promotion span, the government said will reduce calorie inta ke government said will reduce calorie intake by 17 calories per day. fight back but let's specifically talk aboutjunk back but let's specifically talk about junk food. i back but let's specifically talk aboutjunk food. i concentrate on
8:39 am
that, as an industry? -- yes, but let's specifically talk about junk food. junk food is a term campaigners have seized upon to describe the high in fat, salt and sugar. that definition was set up a few years ago to define foods that shouldn't be advertised to children and it is quite wide ranging and include some things people might be surprised at, cheese and bacon, mint sauce and mustard, olive oil. so the fa ct sauce and mustard, olive oil. so the fact is we are talking here about advertising to adults, we are talking about adults exercising food choices. the way in which we have gone about helping people to make better choices is through reformulation and changing portion size. our members have reduced sugars in the average basket by 11% over the last four years and that work is continuing and needs to continue. obesity is a very serious challenge, but the idea that these proposals will make a difference to obesity is completely undermined by the government because my own figures. to come back to you on that
8:40 am
point, dr aseem, i figures. to come back to you on that point, draseem, isaw figures. to come back to you on that point, dr aseem, i saw you smile when tim mentioned the 17 calories. a lot of effort to make little difference? yes, but they are positive steps, and we need to do more. i have met tim and he is a very respectable nice person, but ultimately he represents the interests of the food industry and their profits, so we need to realise there is a big clash of interest, and ourjob as doctors is to look after public health and the health of the nation. unfortunately, people are being misinformed with the kind of food they're eating this up but what i think tim said that was right, and i will pick up on the other point about the economy in a minute, actually, there is a lot of confusion out there about what is healthy eating. the science involved, things change, and the best definition now is ultra processed food is anything coming out of a packet with five or more ingredients. what the food industry should be doing, and we know there are many studies showing links to these... not a single study to show
8:41 am
they are beneficial. they encourage overeating, they hijack your appetite control mechanisms. the food industry know that i make money for it then people get fat and sick and that is the problem we are facing. when you come to the economy issue, with an unhealthy population it isa issue, with an unhealthy population it is a false economy, in essence. we have seen what covid has done. if the populace and is not healthy, how can we even have an economy... in fa ct can we even have an economy... in fact the british health work survey showed every year we are losing about a month per employee from sickness, and that is mainly because of lifestyle, and it is costing the uk economy, dan, £91 billion a year. i would ask tim actually, what is he doing to make sure people employed in the food sector are healthy? because i can guarantee the majority of those people will be in poor metabolic health and they need to think about that as well. can i put another point to you, tim, about the buy one get one free, mostly on what we would term not healthy foods, high in sugarand we would term not healthy foods, high in sugar and fat. do you think the food industry will come to a
8:42 am
point when actually it becomes economic to focus on health and give apples buy one get one free, tim? you are not right there, louise. there was some research done by which magazine, and the balance of promotions between healthy and unhealthy food they found was about 50-50, unhealthy food they found was about 50—50, and it is not surprising it is harder to promote fresh food because it has a shorter shelf life so promotions typically work on products with a longer shelf life. promotions are used to bring new products to market, the way challenger brands can get a share of shelves against more established brands and they are also the way we bring to consumer attention these healthier options, and the bizarre, logical thing about these proposals is that they will stop us from advertising and promoting lighter options. tim rycroft, chief operating officer for the options. tim rycroft, chief operating officerfor the food and drink federation, and dr aseem malhortra, thank you very much both of you for your time this morning. fascinating, isn't it? that discussion over one of the big things the government are promoting at the moment.
8:43 am
a scottish pilot who spent more than 100 days in hospital in vietnam with covid—19 has warned people not to become blase about the threat posed by the pandemic. at one point he was being described as "the sickest person in asia," he's back in the uk and has been speaking to reporter oliver barnes. i had multiple blood clots. i had adrenalfailure. —— i had renalfailure. i had another couple of organs failing me. my lungs were down to 10% capacity at one stage. i've been told that i was asia's sickest patient. home at last and on the road to recovery. pilot stephen cameron moved to vietnam earlier this year to start a newjob. how's that? better? 0k? within a few days of his first flight, he was on a ventilator with severe covid—19. he'd remain on it for over two months. in the uk, half of all covid—19 patients who receive invasive ventilation don't survive, and of those who have few are in a coma for as long as stephen. hello, stephen!
8:44 am
lovely to meet you. i would shake your hand but a wave is properly best, given the circumstances. it's believed stephen contracted the virus at an ex—pat bar. at first, he did not take the symptoms too seriously. i said at the time, "this is just like a really... i've had worse food poisoning." that was on day two or three. as it turned out, no. fast forward 12 weeks and it's a very different story. and stephen regained consciousness in earlyjune, he was delirious, 30kg lighter and could not move his legs. when i first woke up i thought, "will i be able to walk again? was i paralysed ? " i didn't know if i was paralysed for life or anything because i couldn't — i couldn't feel my feet. stephen hopes to be back in the skies again as soon possible but his recovery will be long and arduous. i'm slowly working on it here to get back to being mobile myself. it's just a very slow process. vietnam is yet to record a single
8:45 am
death from coronavirus. stephen came closer to dying than anyone else and keeping him alive became a matter of national pride. after 114 days, he left hospital as a celebrity. the vast majority of the country knew about patient 91, which i — was my moniker. when we went through the lobby, it must‘ve been about ten deep with people. everybody had their phones out, even doctors, nurses in the different wards that we went past. and when i got into the back of the ambulance, when we were getting driven away, there was traffic cops out on the roads holding people back — again, maybe 15—20 deep people out on the street, on the road. for somebody who does not really seek out notoriety or limelight, it was a bit surprising. and i wouldn't say overwhelming, but ijust couldn't believe it. and, as lockdown eases
8:46 am
here and in scotland and in the uk, do you have a message for people in their approach to the advice and guidelines? i mean, i'm a living example of what this virus can do and how it is serious. you know, people might grumble about having to put on gloves or social distancing, two metres apart and all this sort of stuff, but do you know, i contracted it and i was under for ten weeks, on life support. it's no laughing matter. it's a very serious thing, and i think people can't be blase about this until we have eradicated it. oliver barnes, bbc news. it really gives you a sense, doesn't it, of the really dramatic impact it can have on people? good luck with the rest of your recovery as well. if you are a follower of football... drama, heartache and jubilation were all in abundance on the final day of the premier league season. (louise)aston villa secured survival at the expense of bournemouth and watford who join norwich in the championship. meanwhile — at the other end of the table — manchester united and chelsea
8:47 am
secured the two remaining places in next season's champions league. lets dissect it all with former tottenham and bournemouth manager harry redknapp lovely to talk to you, harry. was there a part of you, even though you we re there a part of you, even though you were watching it very closely, part of you that was quite happy not to be involved at either end of the table for once? yeah, certainly at the bottom end, dan. i was watching it and feeling just what then boys must be going through. must have been a horrendous 90 minutes standing on that touchline, hearing other results coming through. i was on the situation a couple of years back with a spell at birmingham and we had to win at bristol city and hearing the other teams were all winning, and it must have been the same yesterday. i mean, all have did theirjob. they went same yesterday. i mean, all have did their job. they went to same yesterday. i mean, all have did theirjob. they went to everton and won 3—1, fantastic, but u nfortu nately won 3—1, fantastic, but unfortunately the aston villa result managed to put them down. an amazing run of results for aston villa to stay up, but you touched on bournemouth, where you are, club
8:48 am
very close to your heart. what do you think will happen with them? eddie howe has been there, highly regarded, highly respected. do you think they should stay with him in the championship? oh, absolutely. what he has done here, eddie, he has done such an amazing job. people forget this club has been... 100 yea rs, never forget this club has been... 100 years, never out of division two or three. championship football was probably punching way above their weight, let alone getting into the premier league, and that where he has took them. he has took them through the divisions, took them to the premier, five years in the premier league, never really been in relegation trouble before this year. thejob he has done, it hasjust been one of the most incredible stories, i think, been one of the most incredible stories, ithink, in been one of the most incredible stories, i think, in football, been one of the most incredible stories, ithink, in football, what eddie howe has achieved at bournemouth. what about dean smith, the aston villa manager, to get those points out of their last games, big achievement? yes, villa isa games, big achievement? yes, villa is a big club and i don't think they
8:49 am
should be in that position struggling at the bottom of the leak and certainly dean is a good manager, and i'm sure they will not wa nt to manager, and i'm sure they will not want to be in that position again next year —— bottom of the league. i think bournemouth will go down, i think bournemouth will go down, i think they will regroup, and i think eddie is the man to bring them back up eddie is the man to bring them back up again. there is no reason they shouldn't be challenging next year for promotion again. the drum at the other end saw manchester united and chelsea make it into the champions league spots —— drama at the other end. lester just missed league spots —— drama at the other end. lesterjust missed out. it seems this has been going on for yea rs. seems this has been going on for years. such a long season, and with that long break in the middle as well. i suppose the credit to the premier league, the players in the clu bs were premier league, the players in the clubs were getting it finished —— leicester just missed clubs were getting it finished —— leicesterjust missed out. for me, i wa nted leicesterjust missed out. for me, i wanted this year finished for liverpool. they deserved to win the title. they have been amazing, and to have not one like it because the season was null and void, i would say, it would have been such a shame. they managed to carry on,
8:50 am
they got the title that they thoroughly deserved, so that was great, and even at the top half of the decision, chelsea making it. a great season for chelsea with frank in his first season. cup final next week. they have had an amazing year. man united, you know, ole has taken the team had managed to get them into the champions league as well. i think next year will be exciting as well with the premier league. i think manchester united will improve, chelsea as well, and there will be one or two my other teams trying to catch the top to match, liverpool and man city. you say an exciting year. we have been through strange times and it will be so exciting for fans to get back and be able to watch the live games, won't it? that is what we are all looking for, louise. we want to get back to the games, taking the grandkids. i miss that so much on a saturday. it has been part of my life, going to football with the kids. like everybody, we all want to get back into the stadiums whenever it is safe to do so and get watching football again. harry, i have to ask
8:51 am
about your lovely wife as well, sandra. 52 of marriage, was it, last month? i suppose you can't celebrate with a foreign holiday. what are you doing with holiday plans this year? i doubt if we will go away. and too many problems... i've been listening to your programme this morning. so going away and having to come back and go into isolation, you know, it is very difficult. so no, we may be looking to get to cornwall. i've never been to cornwall and that is somewhere we have always wanted to go so this is our opportunity this year to have a few days down there. talking to one of the people who loves cornwall the most, i would thoroughly recommend it! laughter how has lockdown been for you? has it been tough? louise, i would be lying if i said it had been tough. we have been lucky. even during the lockdown, we could have the walk with the dogs, going out for an hour and a half's walk or whatever, we did that every day. and the weather
8:52 am
was amazing and we are lucky we have a garden so we can sit outside the must have been difficult for lots of people but we were very fortunate. before we let you go, the big question when you get to cornwall, when you have your scorn, is itjam first or cream first for you? cream first. louise: yes! dan: redknapp, you're dead to me. laughter now, we've got a real treat for you this morning — andy, jamie and judy murray — have all been chatting to sally about how they've been getting on during lockdown. here is a brilliant conversation. not the last in the room, is he? judy! good morning. you will be on mute. yes, you are on mute. yes, you are on mute, which is fine. can we
8:53 am
keep it that way? yes, shame. never mind. brilliant to see you all. are you at home, jamie? yeah. judy, you're you at home, jamie? yeah. judy, you' re clearly you at home, jamie? yeah. judy, you're clearly on your way somewhere? yes, i am in the car. fight night and day, you look like somewhere a bit ominous, and doctor's surgery. —— somewhere a bit ominous, and doctor's surgery. -- and, andy, you look like. i am in the physio studio soi look like. i am in the physio studio so i have already got up and done some work this morning while jamie and my mum had been sleeping.” think that says something about andy murray, up and working before the rest of us! great to see you. obviously we are talking about the battle of the brits. the next tournament that you have organised, jamie? it has been manic the last couple of weeks trying to organise everyone. when you say it has been tricky organising everyone, who has been the trickiest, your mum or your brother? laughter
8:54 am
ididn't laughter i didn't tell my mum she was doing a... element! i didn't tell my mum she was doing a... element i had no choice! i love team events, and particularly this one because it is mixed, and i love all the tactical scouting, team building and so forth, right up my street, so i was thrilled to bits when he asked me but i didn't say that, i kind of played hard to get. and andy, how did he persuade you? ordid you and andy, how did he persuade you? or did you need no persuading? like my mum said i really enjoy team events, but a bit of a shame we are all on the same team. i was quite hoping to see my mum against me... hang on, you are all on the same team? hang on, you are all on the same tea m ? let hang on, you are all on the same team? let me get this right. mum is in charge? yeah, absolutely, sally. something like that. captaining! it is good for family harmony we are all in the same team i think. andy, i have it on good authority you don't listen to your mum very much. iam it don't listen to your mum very much. i am it depends what subject we are talking about, to be honest. for example, i wouldn't listen to her...
8:55 am
tennis, you know, iwould example, i wouldn't listen to her... tennis, you know, i would listen. but it depends what we are talking about, really. i cannot wait to see this family dynamic played out. i'm interested to know how you have all been managing in lockdown, because we have had a little bit of insight into your lives, haven't we, from social media? jamie, your fitness routines are nuts. like everyone, we are stuck at home for a few month and that was our way to exercise. steve —— and that was our way to exercise. steve — — to and that was our way to exercise. steve —— to be honest, i feel great, the best i have felt, physically. obviously i have not been posting every work—out i do online like jamie... laughter but we have been doing our family kind of zooms, quizzes. responding to your 100 volley challenge, you know, beat you at monopoly. never going to beat you at tennis. me and
8:56 am
jamie were playing online monopoly with their wives for the first few weeks but that fizzled out quite quickly. i know you found some stuff to do, though, because i found a brilliant picture of you playing dress up. when my daughter is kind of get hold of me when i'm in the house they kind of tell me what to do, so if they want me to put, you know, my kilt on, they are putting me to bed, reading stories to me and things like that. you know, that's fun. you have been doing the family quizzes, keeping the competition going and the competitive spirit going. have you actually really missed each other? yeah. well, i've beenin missed each other? yeah. well, i've been in scotland so i've been a long way from andy and jamie and the grandchildren, but zooms and facetimes are wonderful ways to be able to stay connected. what is it like for one family now to keep pushing the future of tennis? what
8:57 am
andy's has done over his career and how much interest he has created an tennis in this country, obviously, i mean, we all want to see that taking advantage of. i think, you mean, we all want to see that taking advantage of. ithink, you know, thatis advantage of. ithink, you know, that is what my mum is so passionate about, and what she has been doing. i would say largely under the radar, giving all these kids the opportunity to pick up a racket for the first time, and it's been amazing what she has done. jamie and andy, five years from now, jamie murray, tournament director? maybe. might still be playing on the tour, hopefully, things are going well. still in tip top shape after this lockdown. what about you, andy? andy murray, coach? if my hip. i still wa nt murray, coach? if my hip. i still want to play as long as i can whilst lam want to play as long as i can whilst i am healthy, want to play as long as i can whilst lam healthy, but want to play as long as i can whilst i am healthy, but if i'm not able to any more then, yeah, i would definitely... definitely look to coach. jamie can stick to the
8:58 am
tournament directing and the home work—out. tournament directing and the home work-out. you are in charge of these two lads, judy, for a little while again now. how are you going to keep them in line? it's not going to be easy, but we are on a team and they have always been really good about playing in a team. it has always been a big part of their lives from when they were very small, and they are when they were very small, and they a re pretty when they were very small, and they are pretty good at listening to the captain on the other teams they have played in, so i'm expecting the same kind of respect, please, boys. laughter yeah, it will be interesting, to say the least. andy, you've got really quiet. no comment. laughter it is brilliant to see you all. thank you all for talking to us this morning does stop loads of luck with the tournament. we wish you all well. thanks, sally! -- this morning. and loads of luck. great to see that and that dry humour, mostly
