the travel industry is warning the decision to introduce new quarantine for people arriving in the uk from spain could leave some firms unable to survive. they say tourists will be worried about quarantine rules being applied to other countries too. the balearic islands and the ca nary islands are too. the balearic islands and the canary islands are trying to negotiate an exemption, saying the rate of air is lower than on the spanish mainland or the uk. ballymore has the latest. 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 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 holiday—makers in spain. but now

eve ryo ne holiday—makers in spain. but now everyone returning home to the uk from there we'll have to quarantine for two weeks. this includes people travelling from mainland spain but also the canary islands and the balearic islands. the spanish government is calling for some regional exemptions. in particular oui’ regional exemptions. in particular our dialogue efforts are focused on excluding from the quarantine measures the balearic and the canary islands for two reasons. number one, these are islands. very safe territories. number two they are —— their epidemiological data is extremely positive, well below data in the uk. the new foreign office advice once against all but essential travel to mainland spain. that means most travel insurance policies will be rendered invalid. there are fears that many people will now change their travel plans, and that would be bad news for the travel industry. what it's done is almost cancelled the end of the summer season. a lot of people are now fearful the

government will put quarantine in place for other countries, not just for spain, as cases go up elsewhere. that means the revenues want to come in and many travel companies and airlines that were on the cliff edge a nyway airlines that were on the cliff edge anyway before this announcement, will not be able to survive the winter. labour said the short notice of the travel announcement had created a sense of panic and loss of control. it is 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. jet2 will continue to operate all its services to all of spain. that is seen as an unusual move in the foreign office has warned against all but essential travel. andy moore, bbc news. tui has cancelled all holidays to mainland spain until the 9th of august following this change to quarantine restrictions. the company director for the quarantine restrictions. the company directorfor the uk quarantine restrictions. the company director for the uk and quarantine restrictions. the company directorfor the uk and ireland quarantine restrictions. the company director for the uk and ireland says the government needs to create a

more nuanced policy that would allow customers to go to less regions in certain countries. we would really like, and i think we will need this going forward as the world evolves, a nuanced policy. so if there is a travel advice that says you can still go to the canaries or the balearics, we would also like to have that backed up with a quarantine that obviously is not in place. if there is travel advice that says you can't go, we believe the quarantine should be in place. we want a regional policy. that will be really important now. cast your mind forward when something like the united states opened up, which we hope for, if there is a problem in new york but florida 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 idea. the view from tui. guy hedgecoe is at madrid airport for us. a lot of confusion for many

tourists? yes, absolutely. there are fewer tourists than they would normally be in spain compared to any other year but there are still lots of british tourists here. those who haven't managed to get back to the uk ahead of that deadline at the weekend to avoid the quarantine. many still left here. many of them feeling rather frustrated. many still left here. many of them feeling ratherfrustrated. knowing they will have to go through that two—week quarantine. they will have to go through that two-week quarantine. so presumably you have seen few new arrivals, given that this came into force at midnight on saturday night, sunday morning, people scrambling to cancel? yes. we have seen many fewer flights coming in and leaving, for example, madrid airport at the moment compared to say this time last year. i think a lot of that has to do with the coronavirus in general. we are already seeing any fewer flights in the lead

general. we are already seeing any fewerflights in the lead up general. we are already seeing any fewer flights in the lead up to the peak season. now we are in the peak season, there was the hope that we would see things pick up again. that obviously is probably not going to happen because of the decision by the uk government, and it looks as if there will be fewer flights in the days and weeks to come. we have heard a lot this morning and yesterday from the travel operators who are saying this is disastrous for them. presumably there are voices in spain saying this is also disastrous for our hotel, our bar, whatever? yes, that's completely right. the mood here is extremely gloomy within the tourism industry because of this decision. the early pa rt because of this decision. the early part of the tourism season was pretty much wiped out. but the hope was things would pick up again and spain relies so heavily on the british market, which makes up close toa british market, which makes up close to a quarter of foreign visitors to the country in a normal year, and

the country in a normal year, and the fact that market looks as if it is being taken away all of a sudden is being taken away all of a sudden is desperate news for the tourism industry. there is a lot of worry here within the tourism industry, which makes up between 12 and 15% of gdp. that creates a worry for the economy as a whole. thank you very much forjoining us from madrid. more from you later. let's get the political angle now with norman smith. dismay and anger in many quarters. the government still saying that we need to act swiftly a nd still saying that we need to act swiftly and it was necessary? there has really been no sense of reflection or doubt in government about this sudden imposition of the quarantine, despite the fact that no other country, no other country, has done this. despite the fact really that it's a pretty crude blunderbuss approach because although the upsurge in coronavirus has really

only been in three areas of spain, most of spain actually has a lower level of coronavirus than we do. and also, despite the fact that the science of the upsurge was evident more than a week ago —— the signs. the government waited until saturday night, as it were, tojust pull down the shutters. there are a lot of questions. the thinking in government is they need a very clear, simple, decisive response. if you have too nuanced a response, then the message gets a bit lost. they have gone for this very hard quarantine on everyone. everyone returning from spain. that was pretty much what we heard from helen whately this morning. i would say to people planning holidays, looking at going abroad, i realise it's really hard. look at the foreign office advice, check your travel insurance, check the conditions from the tour operator,

and we have to be mindful we are in and we have to be mindful we are in a situation of a global pandemic. we have to continue to keep the situation under review. we put in place the travel corridors so that it would be easier for people to go on holiday, recognising that people wanted to go on holiday overseas, but what we said when we put that policy in place was that we would have to keep the situation under review, as we have done in spain, we have ta ken the review, as we have done in spain, we have taken the action which was the right thing to do because we have to put the public health of the united kingdom in the country first. of course, the impact on those affected who are now on holiday in spain and having to come back to quarantine for 14 days, is enormous. they will have to hope their employers take a sort of kindly view and are absolutely fine about it. but there is no obligation on employers to pay them. it doesn't seem as if they are entitled to statutory sick pay either. that was the point being made by shadow home

secretary nick thomas—symonds this morning. 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. yet if you have a look at the government website this morning on qualifications for a statutory sick pay, it will tell you that you are not entitled to statutory sick pay if you are isolating or self isolating for the sole reason that you have just returned from abroad and not for any other reason. yet at the same time the government seems to be telling us that people won't lose out because they've got to rely on the goodwill of employers. that isjust not a satisfactory situation. i suppose the other impact is a broader one in that people will now be calibrating, day they risk taking a holiday abroad given that this could happen if you go to italy, greece or whatever, very quickly indeed? it sort of snuffs out the

prospect of a summer break, which for many families after the long months of lough dan, is a pretty bleak prospect. absolutely. thank you so much, norman. ryanair has rya nair has reported ryanair has reported a loss of £168 million for the three months tojune when lockdowns around the world left many planes grounded. the airline carried half a million passengers. that compares with 42 million during the same three months last year. coming up after 9:30am, we will be answering your questions on holidays to spain and elsewhere. we will be joined by the chair of abta, the group editor of travel trade gazette and an employment lawyer. join us if you can and send us your questions. 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 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 all eating healthy food like this. just off lewisham high street in south london, a fresh fruit and vegetable market pitches up four days a week, but with many fast food outlets just around the corner, even the customers say it can sometimes be hard to make the healthier choice. there are healthy eating options but people do not take them. like, if there was an option between a watermelon and mcdonald's, i would choose the mcdonald's and most people would

choose the mcdonald's. as a mother of four children, it is very important for me to come here. if you compared this one with the supermarket, these are very cheap. i am going to make smoothies for my children, so i want them to live a healthy life. after the prime minister initially promised to review what he called "syntaxes" last year, the government has now announced a new obesity strategy. some of the measures were put out to consultation two years ago but stalled. they include a ban on advertising food high in fat, sugar and salt before 9pm on tv and online. an end to promotions like "buy my one and get one free" on unhealthy foods. and calorie labels in restau ra nts a nd ta keaways. so you really only have chicken and chips, chicken and ribs, kebabs to choose from... 19—year—old tarsha has been campaigning for greater healthier options for young people and a ban forjunk food adverts before 9pm. i want to chance the narrative from it being, it is a person's fault, their family's fault when it is actually recognised that the environment that young

people are growing up in, the environment that children are growing up in, is completely different to 20, 30, 40 years ago. tarsha brought a selection of fruit and snacks and we asked her brother, who is 17, what he would prefer to eat based on the way it looks. probably the oreos. really? yeah. how many would you have? the whole packet. after all the advertising that has been done, cause you see a lot of promotions on sweets, all of this type of stuff, but you don't really see much promotions on vegetables and that. latest figures show that there were more than 870,000 hospital admissions in england related to obesity 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 proposals "a slap in the face" and warned 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.

just to bring you a line on this from jamie oliver. he just to bring you a line on this fromjamie oliver. he is just to bring you a line on this from jamie oliver. he is a long—time campaigneragainst from jamie oliver. he is a long—time campaigner against child obesity. and for healthy eating. he has tweeted, boris johnson and for healthy eating. he has tweeted, borisjohnson has had enough and committed to reducing how manyjunk enough and committed to reducing how many junk food ads can enough and committed to reducing how manyjunk food ads can be seen on tv and online introducing a 9p pm watershed. the tv chef will be with us on the channel later this morning. we look forward to talking to him. we are going to talk through the health aspects of this now. joining me now is cardiologist dr aseem malhotra. you have been a very critical campaigner on obesity issues. what do you think the measures being announced today? good morning. i think they are very positive steps

forward. they don't go far enough but i think what is important is they have started to highlight that this is an issue of the food environment predominately. it is not an issue of responsibility. to exercise personal responsibility you need the right information, choice and affordability. in your previous clip what that younger campaigner was saying was spot on. we need to make healthy food more affordable and more available. and one of the things that has happened, one of the things that has happened, one of the things we have discovered amongst the science of this, is that ultra—processed food, which is the major issue at the moment because thatis major issue at the moment because that is half of the british diet, this is essentially anything that comes out of a packet, has five or more ingredients and is high in starch, sugar or unhealthy oils, these sort of foods now seem to be addictive. they hijack appetite control mechanisms and you crave them and keep eating. that is probably one of the main reasons we

have this problem across the world. these sort of foods have replaced all nutritious foods and are making people is more overweight, fat, sick. and even people carrying normal weight. about 40% of people from south asian origin will develop conditions related to obesity. this explains why we have this problem disproportionately infecting bame people when it comes to covid—19. all the steps are positive. i think the things that are missing, when we learned lessons about how we won the warand big learned lessons about how we won the war and big tobacco, was we addressed the availability and the affordability and the acceptability of cigarettes. what i would suggest really needs to be done, and would have a bigger impact, is we need to really raise the price and taxes and also processed foods, and use that money to make healthy food more affordable. that is something that is not in today's measures. you know

better than i do that of the prime minister has set his heart against what he calls sin taxes? yes. i personally have been interacting with matt hancock. he asked me to provide evidence on covid—19 and obesity. i made it very clear to him that the biggest concern about cigarette consumption was taxing cigarettes. as someone who has worked in the nhs for more than two decades and treated many people with heart disease, when i see these patients in follow—up they are doing really well and i ask if they are still smoking, they say they are not. one of the reasons is that it is too expensive, and they are happier and healthier because of it. that actually is a crucial component to beating this academic —— epidemic. it will extend... we will be in epidemic. it will extend... we will beina epidemic. it will extend... we will be in a better position in terms of our health and also economically. we

are losing about £91 billion a year in the uk due to sickness absence predominately related to people with lifestyle — related issues. predominately related to people with lifestyle —related issues. on average about a month a year is being lost because of sickness in this country. so when you look at the root of all of that, poor diet is probably the most important factor. 0ne is probably the most important factor. one thing i want to mention very quickly is that borisjohnson has come out with the strategy that gps should be prescribing cycling. i am all for exercise but weight loss is not one of them. that could be a distraction. boris himself, iwas is not one of them. that could be a distraction. boris himself, i was an adviser to the london food bought when he was mayor, boris, if you remember, he has had issues with his weight for a very long time. he would cycle everywhere. you cannot i'd cycle a bad diet. that is another really important message people need to hear. -- out cycle. you say it is not a matter of personal responsibility. it is the environment and culture. you have

discussed that. as individuals, do you think that covid—19 accentuate and focuses minds on what we all need to do to protect ourselves? what is the message from covid—19? you are absolutely spot on. that you have raised that. what i've done, and researched and written about, is that poor metabolic health, issues related to excess body fat, also relates to poor immune health. 0ne study has suggested if we had a healthier population, possibly half, may be more of the deaths we suffer tragically in the uk, would not have happened. i think you are absolutely right. this has focused the attention of the obesity epidemic again. but more specifically, i think because of the prime minister and himself, because he got on well and himself, because he got on well and was admitted to hospital, and thank god he survived and he has come out, he is doing well, that has really hit the message home to him that he knows this is something that is beyond socioeconomics and personal responsibility, because he comes from an affluent background.

he isa comes from an affluent background. he is a prime minister. he should act he is a prime minister. he should a ct a ccess he is a prime minister. he should act access to the communication. this is about highly processed foods that have hijacked food. we need to shift the balance back to whole foods and we will get to grips with this epidemic if we do it very quickly. thank you. chinese officials have entered the us consulate in chengdu in south west china — which has been closed in a tit for tat move after washington shut the chinese consulate in houston, texas. relations between the two the us and china have been severely strained in recent months, and are now at their worst for decade. paul hawkins reports. a sign of the times. the american consulate in chengdu. it's been in china's seventh—largest city for 35 years, employing 200 people, including 150 locally—hired staff. but not any more. forced to close by china after the us forced china to close its consulate in houston on friday. the us accusing china of stealing intellectual

property, another sign of the rock bottom relationship between the us and china over a number of issues including the coronavirus pandemic... it comes from china. ..china's new hong kong security law... today i also signed an executive order ending us preferential treatment for hong kong. ..the use of chinese technology in the west... we convinced many countries, many countries. i did this myself for the most part, not to use huawei. ..and originally, trade, although the deal was done in january. together, we are righting the wrongs of the past and delivering a future of economic justice and security. since then, the relationship has gone into reverse with the latest allegations including espionage. it means the us now only has three consulates in mainland china for now. paul hawkins, bbc news. the virus hit state of victoria in

australia has reported six deaths and 532 new cases of coronavirus, surpassing the national daily hive of 502 registered last week. melbourne is halfway through its six week lockdown but officials are now warning it may need to be extended. last week they noted that six people going to work or not isolating property were contributing to the continued spread of the virus. a new study has revealed that afghan opium farmers have switched to solar technology in massive numbers over the last five years and, in the process, have significantly increased the world supply of opium. satellite images show virtually every farm in southwest afghanistan now has solar panels. justin rowlatt reports. a trader in afghanistan takes us on a video tour of his shop. "we have many different types of water pumps," he says. he supplies the pumps opium farmers use to irrigate their land. you may be surprised

by the choice of power supply because these days, afghan opium farmers choose solar power. each of these stacks contains hundreds of solar panels. there are thousands for sale in the market. the switch from diesel to solar on afghan opium farms has been incredibly quick. 2014, it started to be introduced among the farmers. it was 2017 that we had the unprecedented level of poppy cultivation in afghanistan, so within three years, it spread quite massively. a few years ago, this was desert land. thanks to solar power, there is now plenty of water to irrigate the crops. here's 2012... here in the uk, richard's company specialises in analysing satellite imagery. he says virtually every opium farm in the south—west of afghanistan now has an array of solar panels. he's got four there, there is a couple up here.

the effect on opium production has been dramatic. the helmand valley is the heart of the afghan opium industry. just watch how the farms spread out into the desert. the lighter the green, the healthier the crop. in five years, the area under cultivation has doubled, and it continues to grow. and look at this — un figures show opium production has also increased dramatically. so, in 2012, opium production was 3,700 tonnes. but look at that — by 2017, it has reached 9,000 tonnes! — the biggest opium harvest in afghan history. in september, police seized 1.3 tonnes of heroin worth an estimated £120 million, the uk's largest seizure. but heroin is still plentiful on britain's streets. you have to go through the process. dave higham is a former addict who now runs a network of addiction treatment

centres in the north—west. it seems it's a lot more easier to get heroin because i haven't seen any droughts in the last few years. now, when i was taking heroin, there was droughts. it's called ‘skank‘, it is plentiful and the price is down. the last big surge in heroin addiction in britain was in the ‘80s. there was high unemployment, and cheap afghan heroin had just started to come onto the market. dave higham and his colleagues are worried that we could soon be facing the same toxic combination thanks to solar power and the coronavirus. he worries another spike in heroin addiction and, therefore, crime is on its way. justin rowlatt, bbc news. that has made me worried too. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. today's weather pretty much summed up by the same, cloudy and wet. a little bit of brightness later,

but they will be some showers and it's going to be heavy and thundery. that rain already moving ahead of northern ireland, across scotland. you can see the tail end of it further south, bringing rain into the south—east, and behind that some showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. but in between, there will be some bright skies and even some sunshine. gusty winds today making it feel cooler than those temperatures suggest. through this evening and overnight, the rentals up into the north of scotland. there will still be some showers packing in from the west, being blown eastwards on the gusty winds, but a fairly mild night. temperatures falling to between nine and 14 degrees. tomorrow, then, we start off with this rain and gusty winds across the north—east. the strongest winds will be in the northern half of the country tomorrow, blowing those showers in the west at times over toward the east, but still quite a bit of dry weather in between the showers. some brightness, and equally some sunny spells as well.

hello, this is bbc news. travel bosses fear quarantine regulations for people flying into the uk from spain will lead to some firms going bust. buy one, get one free deals on the junk food are said to be banned as pa rt junk food are said to be banned as part of a new government strategy to combat obesity in england. junk food, tv adverts won't be allowed

across the uk before 9pm. face coverings are mandatory for eve ryo ne 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 can also reopen. the number of confirmed covert cases worldwide reaches more than 60 million. —— 16 million. that is up bya million. —— 16 million. that is up by a million. chinese authorities say they have taken over the us consulate in chengdu after it was ordered to shut last week. the latest move is part of the tit for tat of diplomatic spat between the two countries. and opium farmers in afghanistan using solar technology to increase the yield of their crops and the world supply of heroin. a full round—up of sport now — let's cross to the bbc sports centre and to kat downes. good morning. good morning to you,

carrie. the premier league season has been extraordinary, hasn't it? 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. commentator: they're there! aston villa have secured a place in the premier league for another season! relief for aston villa — a draw at west ham enough for them to survive. job done. but only just. it feels better than getting bit — getting up and through the play—offs last year, if i'm honest, and 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 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. and for watford, their fate was sealed early on. 3—0 down to arsenal and left with too much to do. bournemouth had one of their best

results for months at everton. a 3—1 win giving them a chance, but it wasn't enough, all because of this. jack grealish has scored the goal that surely keeps aston villa in the premier league! mr aston villa! the villa 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 haven't been good enough. we have dipped below the levels that we were at previous seasons, there's no denying that, and as manager i have to take the ultimate responsibility for that. meanwhile, two champions leagues spots were up for grabs. three teams were left in the hunt, but chelsea weren't feeling the pressure. a comfortable win over wolves meant they sealed their place so the final spot hung on a straight shoot—out between leicester and manchester united, and after a brilliant start to the season, the foxes went out 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's not too much time to party — there's less than seven weeks until it all kicks off again. austin halewood, bbc news. certainly a season we won't forget, yes. england's charge towards a series win against the west indies might be thwarted by the rain. the forecast for old trafford today not good. stuart broad was the star of the show again for england as they close in on a series win against the west indies. stuart broad went to work again taking two more wickets before the close of play. the west indies are 10-2 close of play. the west indies are 10—2 going into the fourth day, but not much prospect of play today. staying with cricket...

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. 1000 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. 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. you can follow that one across the bbc sport website and is well on our app. but that is all from the bbc sport centre for now. more on the bbc news channel at quarter past 12, but from me it is back to you, carrie. thanks, kat. sticking with

sport... football leaders across the uk are coming together to sign a joint declaration — committing to make mental health a key priority at all levels of the game. the mentally healthy football declaration — which is being led by the duke of cambridge — is supported by governing bodies, leagues and organisations from across uk football. it will recognise that the mental health of players — is just as important as their physical health. david beckham is one of a group of high—profile players who spoke to prince william on a video call. here he is speaking about after his sending off at the 1998 world cup. you know, i made a mistake in 98, andl you know, i made a mistake in 98, and i think the reaction at the time was pretty brutal. i was constantly verbally abused on the pitch, but times have changed. if social media was around when i was 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, but didl manager and obviously family, but did i feel 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. that was david beckham. we can speak now to one of the supporters of the declaration ? the former professional football player marvin sordell. thanks so much forjoining us, martin. he's a campaigner and advocate for supporting players mental health. —— marvin. do you think this declaration is necessary? yeah. i think it is a fantastic way to cap off three years. the fact we are able to have this conversation, people like david beckham, obviously, the duke himself, it is so obviously, the duke himself, it is so important for everybody to see it as such a normal thing to be able to have a conversation about. it was interesting hearing david beckham they're saying he didn't feel able a nyway to they're saying he didn't feel able anyway to seek help when he was under stress and pressure. tell us

about your own experiences. what are the pressures you endured, and did you feel you could look for help for them? yeah, i mean, my own personal experience is very well known. i very openly and publicly have said that my lows led me to a suicide attempt, and i'm not going to shy away from that because i think it is important to share that to... for people to see where i am now and understand it is possible to get yourself out of that situation, and foot ball yourself out of that situation, and football is a very high pressure environment and people deal with it in very different ways and obviously for myself i found it very difficult at times and, you know, that led me to that point of despair, essentially. and i know you have done a lot of thinking about it since and then as part of this initiative, the mentally healthy clu bs, initiative, the mentally healthy clubs, what do you think clubs need to focus on? what do they need to do

different, what do players and fans need to do different?” different, what do players and fans need to do different? i think the most important thing is creating an environment in football that allows people to share their emotions and their feelings and be able to have this discussion. as i said, that's why i think this campaign has been so why i think this campaign has been so important, because it has pushed this conversation to the forefront and it has allowed people tojust start having that conversation because it has given foundation to that in the first place. where that necessarily wasn't the case before, i think moving forward it has to be just the normal, and football has to be that kind of environment that people can go to with their friends in the family and have that conversation within football clubs, you know, within the stands. i think the game has such a big influence on society that it just the game has such a big influence on society that itjust makes the game has such a big influence on society that it just makes sense for this to be the starting point. and i was going to raise that with you, because obviously it is a ripple

effect, isn't it, because footballers are effect, isn't it, because footballers a re role effect, isn't it, because footballers are role models to so many people? if you start having that conversation as professional footballers, it can in a way mirror out into society at large. i know one of the things about the initiative is to enable players and other people in the game to spot the signs of mental distress in their colleagues, and fellow players and eve ryo ne colleagues, and fellow players and everyone in the game. can you just talk us through that, because obviously that is useful to everybody. are of course. as i said, i think it isjust important to be able to discuss these things —— yeah, of course. i think the more open to hearing about it and people plus my experiences and understanding when people are in that situation, the different signs they may be going through something, it enables other people to maybe recognise that and it also creates an environment that allows people to

be open about how they feel so they don't feel they need to hide it and thenit don't feel they need to hide it and then it is easy to see those signs for people to be able to step in and combat that situation. and some of those signs are not always terribly obvious, are they? some people where a low mood on theirface, but others don't, others are incredibly good at hiding low mood of depression and anxiety. yeah. yeah. and that's the confusing and scary thing about mental health, depression and everything that comes with it, that there is no circumstance that is the same as somebody else's circumstance, there are no two people that will react exactly the same and it can be difficult to notice signs, but as i saidi difficult to notice signs, but as i said i think if the environment is there and put in place that people can talk and people can share and be open about how they feel, it allows

us to recognise all of these things a lot sooner. well, i'm very grateful to you for sharing with us this morning, marvin, and all the very best with the campaign. thank you. now on bbc news it is time for your questions answered. i will introduce our three guests. with me is the chairman of abta, alistair rowland, the group editor of the travel trade gazette, pippa jacks and employment lawyer and partner at freeths, kevin poulter.

let's get a bit more on those air bridges. people thinking that door that was open to foreign travel has effectively been slammed shut again. individual travellers trying to figure outjust individual travellers trying to figure out just what this individual travellers trying to figure outjust what this guidance means. some will continue to fly to mainland spain and others won't. that quarantine, for people coming back from spain here at gatwick today, what does that actually look like? firstly, you have to provide an address you will be going too, and if you don't provide an address you could be fined £100. you are supposed to avoid public transport if at all possible, to get to that address, so hopefully you might have your own transport or get a lift with somebody. then when you get home you really do have to stay at home you really do have to stay at home apart from exceptional circumstances. it is a much more stringent lockdown than the quarantine we all exchanged earlier on in the year, so you can't go out to walk the dog, you can't go out

for exercise. you are not even supposed to go out shopping unless you really have too. hopefully, somebody can provide you with the food you need or you can do online shopping. we are told by the government that about one in five people, there will be checks, so you will be contacted by text or phone to see that you are in quarantine, and if you are not then in england at least there could be a fine of £1000 so it is quite a serious situation potentially if you break that quarantine regulation. andy miller. well, let's hearfrom our guests now and hear your questions. —— andy murray. moore. this one. if we travel back from france. would we have two quarantine on a return to the uk? as far as i know it is only about where you have been in the last 14 days. technically, you

wouldn't have to declare you had beenin wouldn't have to declare you had been in spain but it is really important to note that at the moment the french authorities are also quite concerned about the situation in spain. the government is talking about not going to catalonia and the barcelona area and talking about limiting the numbers of arrivals from spain into france. that viewer could find himself in the situation of having to quarantine in france instead and unless your travel insurance covers you for that that would be at your own expense so trying to cheat the system does cause some additional problems i'm afraid i'm not necessarily advised. won from you, alistair. and you represent the industry, to a degree. this one from mike —— one for you. santander, this one from mike —— one for you. sa ntander, they this one from mike —— one for you. santander, they santander, they said they are carrying on with my sailing against fco advice, but can i cancel and geta against fco advice, but can i cancel and get a refund? it depends on the terms of the operator in this case. many of the savings they are saying

will be essential. i think they are saying they will help people with claims on the travel insurance if indeed they have pandemic cover on their travel insurance but at this moment they are not offering a form of refund. this one for you, kevin, as employment lawyer on our team this morning. it comes from monday. "ivm this morning. it comes from monday. "i'm due to travel to the canaries next weekend. i will have to quarantine on my return. can my employer asked me not to go, and could i lose myjob? " employer asked me not to go, and could i lose my job? " two important questions. yes, an employer can ask you not to go and there are certain circumstances where they can compel you not to go. it is difficult at short notice. there is a notice period required. but it is an option. could you lose yourjob? well, this is a really difficult question. if you have been employed for less than two years you can be dismissed for many reasons, quite fairly, blah by your employer. if you have been their case back to my ears there of course has to be a fair process and fair reason for

that. —— fair process and fair reason for that. -- if fair process and fair reason for that. —— if you have been there for two years. but i think having that conversation with your employer, there may already be policies in place, but try to have that engagement and make your concerns known. of course if you can work from home, not too much of an issue, and there are certain exemptions as well to the quarantine rules which are also worth having a look at. helpful advice. another for you, pippa, this one from rose in essex. she says, my partner is coming back from spain tonight, then we are flying to portugal on friday knowing that we will have to quarantine when we are back. can he still go? so the way it works with the quarantine, i gather, is you have to serve the full 14 day sentence, if you will, so his quarantine from spain, he would have to serve the rest when he got back from portugal. 0bviously would have to serve the rest when he got back from portugal. obviously in portugal you have the self quarantine as well when you get back from there so the 14 days would begin again. interestingly, with portugal, though, that is still one of the countries that the foreign

office is advising against all but essential travel to, much to the frustration of the travel industry, so the bigger concern really here is whether or not they should be travelling on to portugal, and the travelling on to portugal, and the travel insurance almost certainly will not cover them flying on to portugal on friday so that is maybe something to consider. you don't wa nt to something to consider. you don't want to be travelling without insurance and the current climate. tour operators are not operating packages to portugal because of the foreign office advice and now more than ever you now need to be travelling on a package so you get package travel directed protection and booking with a travel agent, make sure you're not flouting the rules and that you are travelling safely and will be as protected as possible. and, alistair, this is a naughty refund question, coming from gemma george. "my insurance company no longer covers us due to the fco stating essential travel only. i booked flights and accommodation separately with easyjet and holiday lettings. what can i do to get my

money refunded ? lettings. what can i do to get my money refunded? i already changed the flights with easyjet once without charge, but that accommodation provider is stating i cannot get a refund. " well, the message for the viewer really is that you are much more protected booking a package with a certificate from an agent or tour operator, but in this case it is likely easyjet will offer a change of lights again, albeit there may be a cost and depending on where the accommodation came from that the consumer would have to follow the cancellation conditions, but if there is no cancellation conditions are 100% to be paid then the consumer, the viewer, will lose their money on the accommodation. sol viewer, will lose their money on the accommodation. so i would suggest do whatever you can with easyjet and lobby the accommodation provider, but much less safe than if you are booking a package. lightning and

employment law questions again, kevin. this is from peter. —— employment law questions again, kevin. this is from peter. -- and to the employment law questions again. "can my employer —— partner's employer force her to take time off work when her flight landed employer force her to take time off work when herflight landed on saturday ten hours before the cut—off? " saturday ten hours before the cut-off? " the good news for peter and his partner as they are not bound by the quarantine rules, certainly the government wants. the issue might be if there is any risk and employer believes there is a risk to other people within their organisation they may ask them to that time just to be sure, maybe even to take a test, just to check, because there is also the obligation to protect everybody else at work. although they wouldn't be caught by the government guidance, it may be that their employer ask them to do that their employer ask them to do that and if they were to ask them to do it there would usually be an expectation that the employer would pay them to stay away, if they are ready and willing and able, according to the government at least, to work. helpful. this one from debbie, for you,

least, to work. helpful. this one from debbie, foryou, pippa least, to work. helpful. this one from debbie, for you, pippa this to my parents live in spain and they are coming back to the uk for a holiday. they are staying with us in our home. do we need to quarantine for two weeks as well?|j our home. do we need to quarantine for two weeks as well? i checked that out on the government website and it does clearly state the people you're staying with do not necessarily need to self quarantine. i think debbie and her family would be fine to maybe go out to the shops and whatever, although the responsible thing to do is obviously to take extra precautions right now, but importantly they should be nobody else coming around to the house and no other friends or family apart from debbie and her immediate household, so there are some restrictions know that debbie will need to live with for at least two weeks if not slightly longer because her 14 day period when her parents actually arrive. yes. alistair, this one from wendy, looking ahead to next year. we are due to fly to malaga, she says come on the 22nd of august. if the quarantine stays in place and we are permitted to change your flights with easyjet we would like to move them on a year to next

august. however, we checked the same flight august. however, we checked the same flight for next year and they are significantly more in price. is there anything we can do? probably have a look at changing the dates outside of the peak season next year. certainly for flight pricing it is more expensive next year. you can kind of understand that as the market settles down, but i would suggest have a look outside of the school holiday period and you should find the flight pricing is slightly more sensible. thank you. and, kevin, this one. how is the government supporting employees who suddenly can't go to work for 14 days? very good question. what the government is saying and what is actually true might be two different things, as we found out. there is a suggestion that statutory sick pay may well cover the circumstances, but at the moment even due to the changes, given the changes that

happen, i think, in april, changes, given the changes that happen, ithink, in april, it doesn't quite go far enough. it only cove rs doesn't quite go far enough. it only covers people who either have coronavirus, have the symptoms, have been told to shield or have been told to self—isolate by a doctor or through track and trace. it doesn't quite extend this far. unless there isa quite extend this far. unless there is a change through the government to extend it, through parliament, then that might not be the case. one option that might be available is to actually think about approaching her employeragain, actually think about approaching her employer again, speaking with them, about if she has been furloughed previously there may be an opportunity to be re—furloughed for the period of the quarantine, and that might be a solution that works for everybody, but other than that i'm struggling to think about what they are doing to help right now. just before i let you all go, one question from me to all of you. are you booking holidays or risking going on holiday to spain or another potential target in europe over the next few weeks? you start us off, pippa. i'm not flying anywhere in

the next few months but i'm pregnant soi the next few months but i'm pregnant so i guess that gets me out of necessarily travelling, being in the higher risk group. i think i would certainly look at travelling in september, october, getting something booked. but going into that with a very flexible mindset at the moment, making sure your booking with a travel agent, with full financial protection, package directed protection, and being open to the possibility that things might change and you need to be ok with that. alistair, packing a suitcase? hopefully so, yes. i don't have anything booked but i have no problems with going away and all of the examples we have seen in the travel industry are that it is actually very sensible and very safe, easy to get through the airport, very good in the resort, and, you know, hoteliers and destinations have done a really good job of keeping everybody safe. and kevin, a destination for you? well, i'm quite busy at the moment, as you might expect. but of course i can work from home, i could work from

spain, i could work from wherever i need to be if that was required. so although nothing booked just yet, we can remain hopeful, but i think it might be a staycation this year. thank you all. you have been wonderful in providing some great expertise and i hope all the viewers we re expertise and i hope all the viewers were send in questions feel better informed as a result of listening to you all. i certainly do. take care. see you again soon. stu d e nts students at the university of nottingham have been the first today to return to classes, after months having to study online those at the veterinary school at last getting enhanced training. the university says the lessons will help to prepare for its full intake of stu d e nts prepare for its full intake of students in september. caroline moses reports. do you want to see if you can try that with your fingers?

these students also the first in the country to move away from lockdown lessons. it is important the stu d e nts lessons. it is important the students get to engage with animals on the right settings. so we were very keen to get them here as soon as we possibly could. they won't be having lectures but they will be able to have access to the facilities within the school and two live animals as well and i think thatis live animals as well and i think that is the thing that will make the real difference. get that probe underneath... masks and lecture are socially distancing, students also being taught in small bubbles. 0nly those from the same university flat sharing the same class. sign it helps form a close bond together, i guess, because it means we are a lwa ys guess, because it means we are always together, which is good because everyone seems nice. after the lockdown, being inside for so long, being able to get out, just so amazing. sometimes if you are doing it online you might forget why you are doing it and when you actually touch a dog itjust reminds you why

you want to be a vet. you cannot do it online, no. we have tried, we have had some sessions where we have used the dog here, archie. his owner would demonstrate the task, and i would demonstrate the task, and i would be narrating the task, but you cannot teach what it feels like without the students feeling it. that is why we need our students back this early. they have been able to come back because the university is also the first to offer a twice yearly intake of veterinary students. it is this april intake which means some summer practical is can be trialled. preparing young vets to be and the university for the future. this enables us to translate that learning into a bigger reopening plans come september and obviously we will be sharing our expense with other universities, too, so everyone can learn from this experience of this pioneering group of students. so i think it is a really great opportunity for them, but also for us, to learn from their expenses.

bbc east midlands today. how about this for loyalty? a homesick kamel has walked 100 kilometres alone in the desert to return to its former owner. —— hamsik camel. after being sold last year to trek through the gobi desert in northern china to return to what the camel belief was true home. when the camel belief was true home. when the original ownerfound the camel belief was true home. when the original owner found that camel he was so touched he promised never to sell it again. well, that is a happy ending. the rescuer became the rescued on friday when a st bernard dog had to be helped down from england's highest mountain. st bernard is are usually on the other side of such missions. they were originally bred to rescue people in the alps, but four year daisy collapsed while walking down salford pike. the 16 man mountain rescue tea m pike. the 16 man mountain rescue team came to her aid. the mission took five hours and her rescuers

carried her on a stretcher over obstacles that included a waterfall. we have jamie oliver, the tv chef, coming up after ten, so do stay for that. and right now look at the weather with carol. hello again. today's weather pretty much summed up by the same, cloudy and wet. a little bit of brightness later, but they will be some showers and it's going to be heavy and thundery. that mean already moving ahead of northern ireland, across scotland. you can see the tail end of it further south, bringing rain into the south—east, and behind that some showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. but in between, there will be some bright skies and even some sunshine. gusty winds today making it feel cooler than those temperatures suggest. through this evening and overnight, the rentals up into the north of scotland. there will still be some showers packing in from the west,

being blown eastwards on the gusty winds, but a fairly mild night. temperatures falling to between nine and 14 degrees. tomorrow, then, we start off with this rain and gusty winds across the north—east. the strongest winds will be in the northern half of the country tomorrow, blowing those showers in the west at times over toward the east, but still quite a bit of dry weather in between the showers. 00:59:18,636 --> 2147483052:06:24,032 some brightness, and equally some 2147483052:06:24,032 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 sunny spells as well.
