foreign secretary received the first quarantine is an interesting one. bits of information about the word the government this morning robustly defending its decision that was taken on defending its decision that was ta ken on saturday —— the r number in spain rising. 0n defending its decision that was taken on saturday afternoon and that advice was issued on saturday night. saturday evening the official they expect employers to be guidance was issued that at one supportive, but that smacks of the minute past midnight on sunday common sense approach we are asked anybody coming back in from spain, to ta ke common sense approach we are asked to take during lockdown. there is no the balearic islands, the canary single standard of being supportive islands, would have to quarantine for two weeks. now we know thatjust to your employees and what we saw in leicester for example, just prior to here at gatwick today we expect 17 that second lockdown, was some people complaining that their flights coming in from those areas. employers had not been sympathetic that will be a large number of and told them they had to come into people. i think what will cause more work regardless of whether or not employees felt concerned about concern is this idea that the social distancing measures. the question now is will employers, many government is asking employees to be supportive, and i think we can both of whom have suffered badly during this lockdown, will they be any agree that smacks of the common sense advice given to many people position to allow their employees to earlier on in lockdown. there is no stay—at—home if they cannot work clear definition of what support actually means. what we saw in some from home or are not furloughed? has anyone been worried by the actual reporting around the leicester health risks? has anyone said they lockdown, only some factories, are concerned about that? this is employees during lockdown felt interesting, i did ask people as
10:09 am
pressurised to going to work, even they were going out whether or not when they were uncomfortable about they were going out whether or not they felt that their holidays would social distancing measures. the fear is of course they will be a repeat be ruined, whether they were worried about what is going to happen. i had of that with some unscrupulous about what is going to happen. i had a number of people saying they employers. this morning again contacted the hotel is were staying at and they were reassured by the government ministers coming out saying we are in the middle of an social distancing measures that have been put in place there. most people international pandemic. if you book a holiday you need to be aware the heading to beaches where hotels have country you are going to may find been placing some apart, sanitary itself kicked off the travel corridor list and he will be taking a risk, and you need to make stations in, ask people to wash contingency plans with your employer before you go. their hands regularly and some people telling me this morning that fascinating insight. iwill let measures put in to ensure that when before you go. fascinating insight. i will let you go and talk to more passengers. we clea ners measures put in to ensure that when will be really interested to hear cleaners got into the room, families or individuals were not in there at what they have to say. now let's the same time. i think the take was talk to paul childs, an aviation we booked these holidays, we knew there was going to be a risk, we are willing to take that and come back a nalyst, talk to paul childs, an aviation analyst, former virgin atlantic communications director. thank you and take the measures the government very much forjoining us. what is are asking us to do. really, a sense your assessment of this morning? that the government overall, even though it has acted with speed may well, understandably this is causing concern, not only with consumers but well be jeopardising their holidays also with travel companies who were in terms of the quality of those hoping they would have a successful holidays, most people here saying end to the summer season at least, the actually welcome the speed in

tourists from the port city of danang after four residents joining us now, celebrity chef or tested positive for covid—19. childhood obesity campaign are jamie the country had not reported any 0liver. are you celebrating these new cases for the past three months new measures? today is a really until the government confirmed important, i think pivotal moment the new infections over the weekend. actually. we have been working on this for about five years. all of these points were in the first our south—east asia correspondent chapter of the obesity strategy with said the latest measures are dramatic but not mr cameron. we have gone a long way since then. ups and mainly downs. unprecedented. they are not unprecedented. they are not unprecedented in vietnam which took this feels like a joined up, more dramatic action at the start of the covid—19 problem back injanuary, holistic approach, it feels bold and they have a long border with china it feels like finally we have got a and was acutely aware of its pm that is taking this seriously. how it came to be, who knows? but i vulnerabilities and instituted some extremely rigorous contact tracing, think the environment at the moment quarantining entire communities where the virus is recorded. vietnam right now, where it is amplify the has been praised for that kind of importance of good health and good immune system, probably has given it drastic action, may be only possible the little push it needed. when you ina drastic action, may be only possible in a one—party state. it has in fact say the environment at the moment, do you mean the link between obesity got one of the best records on covid—19, onlyjust over 400 cases and covid—19 severe illness and death? absolutely. i think there is in total. no deaths at all until now a link intrinsically between diet and it had had, until these latest
10:20 am
—related disease and the severity of cases, over three months with no local transmissions at all. that covid—19. and i think we want to arm kind of drastic action has worked ourselves. going back pre—covid—19, for vietnam. they have to figure out i think diet —related disease is the now that having got the record so biggest driverfor i think diet —related disease is the biggest driver for people through the nhs, the most powerful thing we successful and having had no can do to support the nhs is not infections were so long, given that their borders are in effect are need to go there in the first place. sealed, very few foreigners are for 20 years nearly, and certainly allowed in and those that did not come ina allowed in and those that did not ona for 20 years nearly, and certainly on a strategy the last five years, i come in a very tightly controlled, would these infections come from? think what we're looking at is a of that is what is worrying the authorities. they are looking into environmental selection of the possibility of people being allowed to come in illegally, being smuggled in as a source for this strategies that joined environmental selection of strategies thatjoined up have the infection, because otherwise it is extra power to change. but all ha rd to infection, because otherwise it is hard to attributed. if you had no children, especially our most vulnerable communities, i suppose local infections for that long, the inspiration nearest to us is in where did these people, three from danang, one from a province not far holland, amsterdam, where they have away, where did they get their reduced childhood by 12% in three covid—19 from and that is a worry. yea rs, reduced childhood by 12% in three years, with a similar set of buy one get one free deals and tv interventions. one of the things doctors have been saying to us this ads for unhealthy food is going to morning is, good try but not enough, be banned as part of the uk's government bid to tackle obesity in say some. they say we need taxes on england. the strategy also includes
10:21 am
the altar of processed foods that new rules for displaying calories on are worse for us and we need to put menus. they come amid growing some of the cash raised into evidence of a link between increased subsidising healthy food. what is your view on that? i think any thing risk of coronavirus and obesity. let's speak now to catherinejenner that can help balance... if you are from the charity action on sugar, and the chief operating officer of the food and drinks federation. a poor child in britain you are more baxter both of you forjoining us than twice as likely to be today. how big the obesity problem overweight and obese, sufferfrom diet —related disease, you will get in this country? it certainly is a paid diet —related disease, you will get pa id less diet —related disease, you will get paid less money, do less well at big problem and it has been growing school and probably die seven to 11 for a long time. we have about one yea rs school and probably die seven to 11 years younger than your affluent in three adults living with obesity counterpart. if we want a fair country, if we want all to flourish, in the uk, more than that overweight then how we view children, how we and it has serious health implications. you have already sent them in government, all mentioned the link with covid—19 but policies, all ministries, how we support teachers, how we support also various cancers, heart disease school lunches and of recent weeks, and tooth decay from too much sugar. it isa and tooth decay from too much sugar. it is a big problem and we have been the marcus rashford intervention was dealing with it for a long time, we really important, we see the are pleased to see this importance of holiday hunger. for recommendation coming in. do you agree? catherine is right that those 1.3 million kids on free
10:22 am
school lunches, those parents have obesity is a serious challenge for to earn less than seven grand a our countries and it is true the la st our countries and it is true the last four months have shown some of year. what happens in the school the consequences of carrying too much weight. it has also been a time holidays? 0f year. what happens in the school holidays? of course we know a lot of we have focused a bit more of what poverty and we see health go down and plummet. there are a lot of we have focused a bit more of what we are eating and how much exercise we are eating and how much exercise we are eating and how much exercise issues out there. i think what you we are doing, and therefore, seems to me would have been a great suggested is another way forward. the devil is always in the detail. opportunity to have a positive campaign focused on physical how and how do we make it we are activity and positive nutrition. giving people more choice, not what we have got instead in some taking stuff away? the things that reheated proposals from two years happening today for regular present ago that will increase consumer prices, reduced choice and will only really just help happening today for regular present reallyjust help truth, clarity, speed of information for a busy hard reduce our calorie intake by 17 working people, and i think stops —— calories a day. what evidence do you have for that? even if in the past the message hasn't hit home, surely now a had missed this huge health empowers parents. ultimately it is not just the effect of these crisis, people want to change their interventions for the customer in dietary habits? the 17 calorie the general public, it is also back figure comes from the government because my own impact assessment in the big food industry and the when these proposals were consulted on two years ago. is that a business, they will absolutely reformulate. as we saw with sugary sufficient gain when you put it drinks tax, were all of those funds against all the other things? we go directly to primary schools, we know the cost of food will go up for
10:23 am
see how those businesses are very consumers, we know that promotions are how innovations come to market and how challenger brands get their quickly reformulating. share of shelves. that will all be interestingly, with the drinks undermined and we know the federation, their businesses up. they are making more money because advertising industry will take a significant hit which will go of healthier choices and the public through to the commercial rod wa nt of healthier choices and the public want healthier choices and they have taken them. what they don't want is casters programme budgets. there are they don't want government significant knock—on is, as we hear from tim. not least for people in controlling. you will hear nanny state here. and i think most people the food and drinks industry who have been worried about their own job security, that is all a factor recognise that our kids deserve good here. it is and it is shame to see parenting, love, care, attention, such a negative view because it and when things are going all right should be an opportunity. no one we need to intervene. that is what a element on it own is going to work. good civilised and government should the figures tim stated are based on do. can i ask you to take off your a very small amount of un—risky hat as childhood obesity campaigner for one moment and put on your hat analysis, they have tried to be very as restaurant owner? 0bviously one cautious, but when you put everything together as part of a package, it will have a real of the things in the measures is calorie labelling in restaurants. as improvement on our health. small amounts of calories move from the we know right now, people who go to diet will have bigger effect in the restau ra nts long term. we are concerned about we know right now, people who go to restaurants to eat are facing the economic impact of this but that has been taken into account what greater hygiene, greater social distancing, are taking risks, manufacturers should be doing is judging risks themselves etc. now instead of worrying about how much they are going to have calorie money will be lost from advertising,
10:24 am
labelling on top. is that a problem something an industry that is just or that a necessity? well, it is for tv advertising is worth 6 billion on its own and online is 14 billion, it the bigger businesses, the franchises. i think it won't affect isa drop its own and online is 14 billion, it is a drop in the ocean, talking the restaurants where you go for one about 200,000. they should be off meals, such as luxury occasions looking at what products they can command the small family business. advertise instead, can you make the products healthier? reformulate them. come and look at what change really, were hard—working british people go on a daily basis healthier brands already exist in for daily nutrition. they deserve your portfolio? these big multinational corporations that do daily clarity. certainly my all the advertising, most of them restau ra nts daily clarity. certainly my restaurants have had nutritional have got healthier products already information for quite some time. we haven't seen any ill effect. what it in their portfolio. 80% of them could just switch straightaway to a does is once you legislate against healthier product and you can still advertise after nine o'clock if you the truth, even if you just look at wa nt advertise after nine o'clock if you want to. we are not stopping anybody calories, it could be more detailed from doing it. this is really a than that, but if you just look at small measure, a first step to calories, if you look at a menu and it is all over the top, you realise hopefully what is going to be a big you are not giving customer choice. overhaul of the holes food system. we are looking at a lot of things in those individuals who are talking now in the restaurant industry. about, the people working in the food chain, there is about 4 million vegan diets, vegetarian diets. 30 people in the food industry who are yea rs vegan diets, vegetarian diets. 30 years ago these were laughed at. now on minimum wage and zero—hour it is important to stay commercial, contracts and they are once who are to stay profitable. i think this is vulnerable to the effects of obesity
10:25 am
a really positive move. a lot of and covid—19, they are included in businesses are doing it already. the people we are trying to protect what we require is a fair playing field. jamie oliver, thank you for in these policies. what do you say to that? is this not a chance for joining us. food and drinks industry is to the state of victoria in australia totally overhauled the content, reduce the sugar, reduce the fat has reported six deaths from coronavirus and 532 new cases, co nte nt ? reduce the sugar, reduce the fat content? globally, this virus is not going away, is it? we all need to surpassing the national daily high lose more weight, we all know that. we do need to lose more weight. over of 502 registered last week. melbourne is halfway through its six the last four years our members have week lockdown what officials are now warning it may lead —— need to be reduced sugars in the average basket by 11%. one of the perverse things extended. last week it was reported about these proposals is they will six people still going to work or stop us from advertising and not isolating properly or promoting lower sugar, lowerfat, contributing to the spread of the lower calorie alternatives because they will still be cut by the virus. —— sick people. a few moments definition. ok, what do you say to ago we were talking about the chinese authorities taking over the that? there is a problem that some chinese authorities taking over the foods might seem healthy but the chinese —— us consulate in chengdu. content itself isn't necessarily. there has always been an argument the latest move in a tit for tat about those, what access they diplomatic spat between the us and actually have to more healthy food china. let's talk to stephen mcdonell, a in beijing. this was a —— those on lower incomes. predictable move from china. now it has happened, is that the end of the actually have to more healthy food -- those on lower incomes. they might seem healthy, but it is based
10:26 am
tit for tat or is there more come?” on negative nutrients, whether they don't think it is the end of it by a are high, not just on negative nutrients, whether they are high, notjust got whether they long shot. the chinese comment does have got sugar, but high in fat, not theme to think so either. we have just come from the foreign salt and sugar. and they take into account positive nutrients like ministry in beijing, where the protein and fibre. i know some foreign ministry spokesman has said that really all of these sort of humorous examples like mint sauce has been given before, it is 25% latest fights, especially over the sugar. you can reformulate it with closure of the consulates, is coming much less sugar. if you look at all from the us side. they have called the major supermarkets they have their own brands which are only 12% on washington to try and do sugar which have their own mint in something to normalise relations them. you can improve products and between the two. they have said that you can advertise them. these big washington has over these multinational companies have been allegations of spying, because that profiting from making very process, unhealthy food have got the chance is one of the reasons the state to really make them better and we department has given for closing have already shown there is a market this houston consulate, saying it for it. sugars have come down most basically was a base for a chinese of that is remembers reducing sugar spying in the united states. in their drinks. that is because a however, at the press briefing piece of legislation, the soft today, a lot of time went into drinks industry levy, were all discussing whether or not it is right to enter one of these companies were encouraged to reduce buildings after they have been vacated. what happened on friday was the amount of sugar in the drinks or pay a levy. we can see those
10:27 am
that after the chinese diplomats policies work and be affected. do we not need to tackle this tax on sugar left the houston, texas consulate, they locked it up. us offices broke in food and that will force the industry to change what it pumps in then to the former chinese out? certainly legislation has been shown to be really effective and we consulate. now according to the do think it is absurd it is not even chinese government, this is a breach been mentioned as part of these policies, but they are under review of the vienna convention. 0n the at the moment so we are hoping that other hand, this morning, when the will be the way. tim and i would us diplomats left chengdu, they left agree that it is important there is the door wide open. chinese agree that it is important there is a level playing field so no companies are targeted unfairly. it officials marched in the front door. needs debate not just companies are targeted unfairly. it needs debate notjust in retail and what we heard today is that this is manufacturers, but also hospitality, all the fault of the us, this is why which seems to be largely missing from these plans apart from this is happening. it is labelling in really big companies. what would you say to that? i know interesting, we asked the spokesperson, are you saying that if nobody had gone into that houston, sugar tax has been talked about for yea rs. sugar tax has been talked about for years. which do not agree this is a texas consulate, you wouldn't have chance for people in your industry gone into the chengdu consulate? he didn't answer directly. he just sort to reform a make something consumer is well what that is better for of said the americans started all of this. it is a very bizarre them? now is the last possible moment to want to put prices of food situation. either way what the up moment to want to put prices of food up for hard pressed families when americans —— where the experts are the economy is on its needs. the telling us is that once you leave a
10:28 am
diplomatic post like this it is kind of useless to you anywhere because sugar tax has reformed to soft rings there is no way that the americans, evenif but there is no evidence that it has there is no way that the americans, even if they are allowed to open up made a difference to obesity. but if in chengdu again, or if the chinese becomes more expensive, people will buy it less and the will be could open in texas again, they will not trust that building any more. commercial interest in producing food that is healthier and cheaper? are you going to go into somewhere where the other side has had all there is a huge amount of healthier this time put in other bogs and bits options that have come to market in the last few years in response to of surveillance equipment to spy on you? essentially those are now not the last few years in response to the government's reformulation programme. the industry have worked safe buildings in terms of they're in partnership, i have talked about the success of our members in achieving that, that is the way, operating as a diplomatic post. they are gone anyway. that is why some people have been left scratching that portion control, to make a their heads and wondering why the difference. these new policies will not make a difference. time is not chinese side are so upset about anybody going into that building on our side on this. losing weight, because there is no way they were ever realistically going to use it asa ever realistically going to use it as a consulate again anyway, even if changing his great big practices ta kes changing his great big practices takes time and yet, we are facing a some sort of houston, texas potential second wave, the consulate opens again in the future. government has put out a thing about thank you. a new study has revealed 12 weeks to lose some weight. is this enough and is it fast enough? we think these companies, and the afg ha n thank you. a new study has revealed afghan opium farmers have switched to solar technology in massive evidence is very clear, so much so numbers over the past five years and the government agrees we should be doing these measures, i would ask

reach for this summer. simon browning, bbc news. weakness, has been so difficult and actually, a campaign like this is really going to begin to empower young sportsmen who perhaps haven't in somalia official figures suggest had that kind of emotional intelligence training or the fewer than 100 people have died from resilience training. they have covid—19, but evidence gathered by brilliant skills in sport, but actually, to teach them the bbc africa ally from mogadishu plus resilience, to try and break down, my only coronavirus ward as well as from mosques and cemeteries in the perhaps, the toxic descriptions of city suggest the figure is much masculinity and empower them to be vulnerable and reach out to people higher —— bbc africa eye from about their problems. i think it's magnificent. godric, it is very mogadishu's only coronavirus ward. 0n the face of it this i see you difficult isn't it, young boys and looks impressive, but it has only 20 girls who are naturally competitive, beds for a population of 16 million. especially in sport, to open up and and it is based in this mogadishu admit this sort of thing.|j hospital, one of the country plus my especially in sport, to open up and admit this sort of thing. i think that's right and i think this is why old est hospital, one of the country plus my oldest and not well resourced. by this is a landmark declaration and a late april doctors here are working big moment for sport and society more widely, because what you have round the clock to treat covid—19 todayis more widely, because what you have today is the leaders of every part patients. this man hasjust been of foot ball brought in. today is the leaders of every part of football in this country coming
10:38 am
together and saying that mental health is as important as physical health is as important as physical doctors have already lost two health and setting out some very detailed and practical steps which patients this morning, and they are will change the culture in this desperate not to lose another life. game. ithink will change the culture in this game. i think for them to do that is fantastic leadership and to be applauded. i think, fantastic leadership and to be applauded. ithink, as fantastic leadership and to be applauded. i think, as you say, it but behind the masks, doctors will start to change the culture that will mean, as david beckham despair at the inferior medical said, it is ok to say that you are equipment they have to work with. not feeling 0k. said, it is ok to say that you are not feeling ok. row hand, can you tell us briefly what you have been through? i live with bipolar disorder that was undiagnosed from the age of 17 through to age 32, by without a functioning ventilator, the doctors lose their battle to keep this man alive. which stage, i had actually attempted to take my own life on officially, fewer than 100 people three occasions. i grew up in a have died of covid—19 in somalia. at cricketing environment and i some of the doctors think the real figure could be much higher, because couldn't reach out for help, i so many people refused to come to the hospital. basically lived in four walls of
10:39 am
darkness, really not understanding what was going on. we didn't have translation: on the streets of the knowledge around mental wellness and we didn't have the platform now that we do and i was scared. i felt mogadishu, normal life goes on. this sense of shame and for me now the authorities are advising people to stay—at—home during the day, but few here can afford to follow that to see the difference, to see advice. projects like this really taking off which can make a difference, it and mosques remain open across makes, it gives them sensed somalia. some worshippers believe everything i went through. you their faith will form somalia. some worshippers believe theirfaith will form a somalia. some worshippers believe talked about your father, alvin, he played for the west indies at the their faith will form a shield. topmost levels. godric, just explain meanwhile, the graveyards are topmost levels. godric, just explain to me in practical terms what you filling up fast. images from one of are trying to achieve this. well, i think the campaign is very simple mogadishu's main cemetery supports and at its heart, it is saying to the belief that many covid—19 debts everyone , we are going unrecorded. back in and at its heart, it is saying to everyone, we all have mental health. i think sometimes, in the past, january, this was empty land. now it there has been this sense that mental health is something that only isa january, this was empty land. now it is a large—scale cemetery. affects one in four of us and i think what this campaign is trying to do is to say that we all have
10:40 am
mental health. there are going to be things in our lives that factors in different ways, whether it is a there is no way of verifying the bereavement, a break—up of a relationship, losing yourjob, i true number killed by covid—19. like think we all have been affected in different ways during the last few many, the deceased being buried here months and that has affected our showed symptoms of the disease but mental health. the campaign is really saying, it's ok to died at home, undiagnosed. another acknowledge that. but it is also trying to encourage people to support one another and also feel somali life cut short by the silent more comfortable in speaking out. i killer. bbc news. think if we can get the point where studio: in the philippines the coronavirus pin then it has cost the people do speak out early enough, economy to shrink for the first time then hopefully we can and address in 22 years, and the culvert cases this terrible statistic that suicide making lockdown is necessary and is the biggest killer of men under 40 in this country. and in the last government debt is rising. howard —— covid cases. they pride themselves few weeks and months, rohan, people ona covid cases. they pride themselves on a communal spirit, pulling haven't been able to play the team together to get through difficult sports that they normally would, but times. take this, for instance. in that makes a massive difference being able to run around with your january this volcano erupted sending
10:41 am
a thick plume of ash into the sky friends, doesn't it? of course it which fell on the surrounding areas. does. for me, one of the things i do everything is covered. the roof, the around my own mental well—being is running and not been able to run with the running club i think has road, everything. the community came been really difficult. but at least together to clear some 2000 truckloads of ash, then came another now, we are beginning to see some progress to that effect and we have blow. the outbreak of covid—19. ways of staying connected with our truckloads of ash, then came another blow. the outbreak of covid-19. we have to let go of our employees friends at the moment but, yes, it because we can no longer support has been such a difficult period and what i would say to people is that them. we have downsized, so it is it's ok to be vulnerable, it's ok to going to be an entirely new kind of admit that it's been a really difficult, difficult time and speak distance. —— business. the hotel to friends about how difficult will still be there for events but you're finding it. reach out to your not for the usual swimming pool and recreation activities. in the first friends, to those people around you, but there will come a time when we can run around freely with our mates quarter of the year the filipino and kick a ball around, economy shrank, the first time in 22 can run around freely with our mates and kicka ballaround, hit can run around freely with our mates and kick a ball around, hit a ball, go for a and kick a ball around, hit a ball, go fora run and kick a ball around, hit a ball, go for a run and that is what we are yea rs. economy shrank, the first time in 22 looking forward to. and godric, you years. the government has warned as many as 10 million filipinos could lose theirjobs. the country's are chairof looking forward to. and godric, you are chair of the heads up campaign, we have seen prince william taking a largest carrier is also feeling the hit and says it will need to lay off very keen interest in this for some
10:42 am
time. how much of a difference does around 800 of its star. as we know, it make that public figures are this is a very fluid situation so we talking about this, do you think? don't really know how long it will does it really matter that they are? last —— 800 of its staff. we i think it makes a huge difference. regularly communicate with employees and we will do everything we can to make sure we get through this. the the royal highness is showing fantastic leadership on this subject. for a number of fantastic leadership on this subject. fora number of years fantastic leadership on this subject. for a number of years now. but i think having the football government seems to be very prudent right now, which, you know, might not be a good idea. being prudent is community and role models and people like david beckham who people look goodin not be a good idea. being prudent is good in the sense that it would up like david beckham who people look up to feeling comfortable talking control the debt levels. what about their own mental health and remains to be seen, is it a wise showing vulnerability, i think that decision when you are seeing isa unemployment hitting double—digit showing vulnerability, i think that is a really big step forward and i think that football, as a sport, is levels? because you are seeing other to be commended on leadership right countries with much higher debt levels are actually going out there, across the game. do you have any spending money, supporting people. kind of people playing at the top back at the club, the owners are right now who are talking about this upbeat. the place is going to look as part of this campaign? absolutely. just this morning, you like this... having survived the had andros townsend who was talking very publicly about the campaign.
10:43 am

10:48 am
it's like a love and five hospitals across east london. hate relationship. they've both tried to lose weight sophie edwards, consultant at the but believe this is an addiction, royal london hospitaljoins me now. not a lifestyle choice. one which needs thanks for your time. can you tell intervention, notjudgment. yes, you do feeljudged. us how much is needed here to i mean, people used support staff? obviously, it has to be, "fat cow!" been a difficult time. just checking one even threw a burger at me out the van once, if that screen is frozen. it looks and i just froze. like we have lost sophie edwards there, we will try to go back if we i was on the street, happy, walking down the road, can. let's get more now on the whole and i'd just got weighed at one of my weigh—in groups, and they threw a burger at me. obesity question. i was crushed. no, no—one likes to be overweight. "buy one get one free" deals for unhealthy food have been banned no. as part of the government's bid it's... it's heartbreaking. to tackle obesity in england. the prime minister said the plans would help "reduce our health risks and protect ourselves against coronavirus". it's so easy to a ban on junk food adverts before conveniently binge eat. nine in the evening has its such an easy thing to do also been confirmed — with all of the apps around, for the whole uk. takeaways, with — even when you go earlier we heard the thoughts of childhood obesity campaigner and celebrity chef, to a supermarket all the two—for—one jamie oliver. deals, all of the promotions, on sweets and crisps and stuff — todayis today is a really important, i think and i know people will say "well pivotal moment, actually. we have have some motivation," you know? been working on this for about five but they are addictive substances
10:49 am
yea rs. been working on this for about five years. all of these points were in it's hard to say no. the first chapter of the obesity strategy with mr cameron. we have to some extent, the government gone a long way since then, ups and in england agrees. those ads will be axed before 9pm. mainly downs. so, this fills like a the deals will be banned. there are a multitude of reasons why joined up, more holistic approach, we're in this crisis. it feels bold and it feels that for some, like andrew and becky, it is about convenience. finally, we have a prime minister because somebody sees takeaway adverts and wants one. who is taking this seriously. how it right. came to be, who knows? but, i think for dawn, it is about cost. it's not easy, isn't it? the environment now is amplifying it's not easy at all. the environment now is amplifying the importance of good health and for others like tracy, good immune systems, probably it has this is a generational problem. all me family big. given its the little push it are you worried about your weight? yes, because i've got diabetes now. needed. let's have a rummage in your bag, susan! the measures have been largely laughing: oh, you can't welcomed by campaigners, but how easy is it to change habits, be having a rummage! and what's it like to live go on! with the stigma of being overweight? but for so many, it's too easy jayne mccubbin has been finding out. to make the wrong choices. it is a national preoccupation. because we've been we're chatting waistlines, sir. working at home... more crisps! ..it'sjust so easy waistlines. to go to the cupboard. chocolate! it's already — already gone up! got bigger. hasit? yes. but then i tell myself, "if i didn't just enough to cuddle — buy them, they would not be not too much. there to eat." i like my food. that. will the government's strategy make this is what you want to get rid of?
10:50 am
making the right choices easier? yeah. and so we've got three different with almost two—thirds of adults overweight, recipes that we can teach the government says this is one on the course... of the biggest health crises facing the country. for kirsty and lorraine, adele runs a programme it has been a lifelong battle. which provides basic ingredients tell me about you and your and mentoring to help relationship with food. if i'm honest, toxic. people eat healthy. the problem is that people, a, don't have enough money to buy i've always kind of been the right kind of food, a bit of a binge eater. they don't know what the right kind it's like a love and of food is, and even if they bought hate relationship. they have both tried to lose weight it they don't necessarily know how but believe this is an addiction, to cook it. not a lifestyle choice. one which needs intervention, notjudgment. yes, you do feeljudged. whatever the reason for this crisis, i mean, people used to be "fat cow!". it costs £6 billion a year to the nhs. one even threw a burger and as a major risk factor at me out the van once, and i just froze. i was on the street, happy, walking down the road, when it comes to covid—19, and i'd just got weighed at one of my weigh—in groups, the personal cost and they threw a burger at me. could not be higher. i was crushed. so you're going to be mentoring kirsty and you've not met her face—to—face yet? no, no—one likes to be overweight. it's kind of quite exciting no. to get to see her. it's... here she is! it's heartbreaking. hi, kirsty! hi. it's so easy to conveniently binge eat. i'm really just excited it is such an easy thing to do to try all of these, like, healthy foods that with all of the apps around, are cost—effective. takeaways, with — even when you go good luck with everything
10:51 am
that lies ahead. thank you. 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? this is a crisis, isn't this, adele? but they are addictive substances. we need to fix this now. we need to fix it. it's hard to say no. it's... it'sjust not ok the way it is. to some extent, the government in england agrees. that report from jayne mccubbin. the those ads will be axed before 9pm. changes to holiday reels to people the deals will be banned. returning from spain has made many people unsure whether to stay ago. there are a multitude of reasons why we are in this crisis. simon browning has been speaking to some of those left in limbo, and for some like andrew and becky, some of those left in limbo, and some his plans have been completely it is about convenience. because somebody sees takeaway adverts and wants one. right. ruined... for dawn, it is about cost. 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? —— some whose plans have been yes, because i've got diabetes now. completely ruined... let's have a rummage it's the tweet that has ruined in your bag, susan! go on! the summer holidays of thousands. late on saturday afternoon, but for so many, it's too easy before the government made it official, the news broke that you'd need to quarantine to make the wrong choices.
10:52 am
when returning from spain. get back by midnight on saturday — because we've been or it's self—isolation working at home... for two weeks. more crisps! the race was on. it's just so easy to these passengers just go to the cupboard. made it to manchester. chocolate! flights changed to beat the deadline. but then i tell myself i did not buy it was crazy. it all happened so quickly. them, they would not be no—one knows what is there to eat. going on in there. will the government's strategy make it's mad, isn't it? yeah, we were supposed to come back making the right choices easier? and so we've got three different on monday, and we just got the next flight home. recipes that we can teach the end ofjuly — time to pack on the course... adele runs a programme the cases and head away. which provides basic ingredients and mentoring to help the lure of sun, sea and long, warm evenings. and on saturday thousands did people eat healthy. just that, with no idea of the immediate changes coming. it is a bit of a shock, the problem is that people a, i must admit. don't have enough money to buy it wasn't expected, the right kind of food, because the plane was full. there wasn't a spare seat, hardly. they don't know what the right kind so obviously lots of of food is, and even if they bought people in the same boat. cases packed, passports, tickets, it, they don't necessarily know how facemasks we've got to buy... andy should have been flying on sunday morning, to cook it. with his wife and three children. whatever the reason for this crisis, they were desperate to get away. they've all had coronavirus. it costs £6 billion a year to the nhs. initially it was shock and devastation for the kids, really. and as a major risk factor they'd been looking forward to it — when it comes to covid—19, it has been booked for a year. the personal cost and basically we had half—an—hour, could not be higher. me and my wife, what do we do? so you're going to be mentoring it'sjust not responsible kirsty and you've not to get to spain and met her face—to—face yet? then come back and have quarantine. it's no good for my employer for me
10:53 am
kind of quite exciting to be working from home. to get to see her. you can only do so much from home. here she is! hi, kirsty! your wife working in social care — hi. it must be a bit of a blow. i'm really just excited she must be really to try all of these, in need of a break? like, healthy foods that she has had a tough time of it, to be honest. are cost—effective. since the lockdown she's been good luck with everything working 12—hour shifts, that lies ahead. saturday and sunday, so she has not thank you. this is a crisis, isn't this, adele? been seeing me or the kids, really, at the weekends. we need to fix this now. so the holiday was a chance for us we need to fix it. to spend quality time it's — it'sjust not together as a family. we love spain. 16 million trips are made there every year from the uk. ok the way it is. 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 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 the trust runs five hospitals in at about five or six o'clock east london, we will try to speak to and the phone pings — bbc news, quarantine for two weeks. sophie edwards, a consultant to elderly medicine at the royal london firs thing we knew about it. all hell broke loose. hospital. thanks for joining elderly medicine at the royal london all the family were panicking, hospital. thanks forjoining us. sorry you lost you a moment ago. "what are we going to do?" sophie, tell me what the last few how did that leave you feeling as a family last night? weeks have been like for you. pretty i would imagine lots of discussions over the tapas?
10:54 am
we put the rose on ice. tough. we have been very busy on the wards, we have had lots of things to we tried to work out deal with, lots of things that we what we're going to do. so a few phone calls. i cancelled a few work meetings. have never done before, people have been redeployed to different areas, it's been a hard time. what has the itjust put a bit of a dampener on the evening, really. toughest period bin? was it when the obviously you're on the beach this pandemic numbers were at the afternoon, strutting around highest? i think so. without your top on, but are you regretting going over to spain now? spain have absolutely done pandemic numbers were at the highest? ithink so. ithink pandemic numbers were at the everything by the book. highest? i think so. i think people struggled to understand the moral so yesterday afternoon, injury that we are having to face, we went for lunch. they disinfected your hands when you got there, having to provide care in a way that a temperature check when we got there, they were all wearing masks. is alien to us and doesn't really it seems spain s being penalized for it. provide the quality of care that we the government has maintained that the public would like to give. providing care health of the uk comes first, but with such a rapid switch to someone through a mask is hard. in policy, the sun we have all spent they can only see our eyes, they months longing for is fading away can't hear what we're saying and i and seeming out of reach for this summer. think staff have found that very simon browning, bbc news. hard. ithink think staff have found that very hard. i think if you laid out on top of all the anxiety about catching ryanair has rya nair has reported ryanair has reported a loss of £168 the virus, potentially taking it home to their families, bringing the virus, potentially taking it home to theirfamilies, bringing it into hospital, there are so many million for the three months tojune different aspects of these past few

when lockdowns around the world left weeks that have meant that staff many planes grounded. the airline have been struggling. and how are carried half a million passengers compared with 42 million during the people feeling now? how are you feeling now? is it a slight downturn same three month last year. a in numbers before perhaps, the significant easing of coronavirus lockdown restrictions has come into force in wales. winter spike? i think that is the face coverings are now mandatory for issue. i think people are physically eve ryo ne over and emotionally exhausted and i face coverings are now mandatory for everyone over 11 using public worry about the winter and the transport, though, bringing it into line with other parts of the uk. coming months, because i don't think museums, cinemas and beauty salons we have much energy to deal with it. are reopening today but pubs, cafes i think at the beginning, there was and are reopening today but pubs, cafes a nd restau ra nts are reopening today but pubs, cafes and restaurants will have to stay closed for at least another week, a lot of energy and momentum around and the country's housing market has people getting in and sorted and i think that energy has now gone and also restarted. driving lessons can people are left quite drained. there also restarted. driving lessons can also resume. the rescuer became a rescued last are people who are quite traumatised friday when a saint bernard dog had by what they have seen and it is a to be helped down from england's highest mountain. saint bernards are lot to deal with and so i think this usually on the other side of such campaign is going to supporters at missions as they were originally right time. obviously, there is this bred to rescue people in the alps but when four year daisy collapsed appeal that is going on at the walking down skeletal pike, a 16 man moment to try and help. what can be mountain rescue team had to come to done to try and help staff?

thanks very much. consultant in moving out of northern ireland medicine at the royal london —— so we've got the rain moving hospital. just in terms of what can out of northern ireland across scotland, rain crossing be done, i am wondering what can be southern areas and then followed donein by some showers which could also be done, i am wondering what can be done in practical terms to try and be heavy and thundery. boost morale, you know, head of what in between all of that there will be some brightness coming through. could be a really tough time in the temperatures to about 21, next four months. well, i think nhs but tempered by the gusty winds. through this evening and overnight the rain pushes up into the north—east of scotland, there will be showers in the west, staff are easily pleased normally but on those gusty winds some of those will be blown over and sometimes it all, decent rest areas which we have been very lucky toward the east. and with quite a bit to have provided at barts hospital of cloud around as well, it's not going to be a cold night. temperatures falling to between about nine and 14 degrees. and even the food was provided, tomorrow, here is our low pressure. simple things, tea and coffee, still, look at those size isobars, still close together, somewhere to rest, someone to talk particularly in the northern half to and someone who, perhaps notices of the country. so it still is going to be quite windy here. the signs when you are not feeling so here's the rain in the north—east. showers coming over from the west, so good. very quickly, what are the being blown over to the east numbers looking like now? using a at times, but equally as we come plateau or is it going up? it's south there will be a lot of dry weather and also some sunny spells in between those showers. grumbling around, definitely. wear a temperatures, 14 in the north, mask everyone. yes, wear a mask. to 20 as we push further south. as we head into wednesday, our low pressure starts to move away. sophie edwards, thank you very much. we've got this ridge of high wherever you are, let's catch up pressure building in. with the weather now. another clutch of fronts waiting out
10:58 am
in the wings in the atlantic. so that means, as are our low pressure moves away, this cloud and the remnants of this rain with it, still breezy cloudy and wet, shower is heavy and across the north—east of scotland. but for the rest of the uk it's thundery, rain across northern ireland, scotland, the tail end of it further south, rain into the going to be largely a dry day. south—east and behind that, showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. in between, some bright bright, with some sunshine, and later we'll see some of that rain just sweeping to the west guys, thundery. in between, some bright guys, some sunshine. gusty winds and northern ireland. today making it feel cooler than and not feeling as cold — those temperatures suggest. through temperatures feeling a little the evening and overnight, the rain higher because of the drop in the wind speeds. pulled up into the north—east of then thursday through friday, scotland, they will still be some although there will be rain in the north on thursday it will be showers packing in from the west, bright in the south, and again 00:58:35,954 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 warmer on friday across the board. being blown eastwards on the gusty winds, a very mild night, temperatures falling between nine and 40 degrees. tomorrow then, we will start off with his rain and gusty winds across the north—east. the strongest winds will be in the northern half of the country tomorrow, showers and the west at times, over two of these. still, quite a bit of dry weather in between the showers, some brightness and equally, some sunny spells as well. and equally, some sunny spells as well.

the travel industry is warning that the decision to introduce new quarantine requirements for people arriving in the uk from spain, could leave some firms unable to survive. they say tourists will be worried about quarantines being imposed suddenly on other countries. ministers have refused to rule out imposing quarantine rules on more countries. shares in a number of travel companies in the uk feel this morning. ——fell. tui and easyjet both falling 10% in the parent company of british airways falling 8%. andy moore has the latest. 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 this spain quarantine announcement is now becoming clear. travel experts believe there are 600,000 british
11:03 am
holiday—makers in spain. but now everybody 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, balearic and the canary islands for two reasons. number one, these islands are safe territories. number two, the epidemiological data is extremely positive, well below epidemiological data in the uk. the new foreign office advice warns against all but essential travel to mainland spain, meaning most travel insurance policies will be rendered invalid. there are fears that many people will now change their travel plans and that will be bad news for the travel industry.
11:04 am
they were hoping for a successful end of season period and this is peak period that this decision has been made in. but now, of course, they are worried with no cash coming in later in the season, they won't be able to see themselves through to the winter and the winter is when there are fewer bookings and most people are battening down the hatches waiting for the start of the new year before they then book a holiday. so it's going to be a very tricky time, not only for some airlines, who are stretched for cash at the moment, but also the travel agents and tour operators. labour said the short notice of the travel announcements has 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, butjet2 will continue to operate all its services to all of spain. that is seen as an unusual move when the foreign office has warned against all but essential travel. andy moore, bbc news. the uk's biggest tour operator tui
11:05 am
has cancelled all holidays to mainland spain until the 9th august following the change to the quarantine restrictions. the company's managing director forthe uk and ireland — andrew flintham — says the government should create regional quarantine restrictions. we would really like, and i think we need this going forward as the world evolves, a bit of a nuanced policy. if there is a travel advice that says you can still go to the canaries and balearics, we would also like to have that backed up with a quarantine that is not in place. if there is a travel advice that says you cannot go, then we believe the quarantine should be in place. we really want a regional policy and that will be important now, cast your mind forward when something like the united states open up, which we all hope 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 united states and we need to crack this regional quarantine idea. our news correspondent sangita myska
11:06 am
is at gatwick airport near london. i know it is incredibly windy which is probably part of the reason why lots of us think we should go away this summer. what are you finding? yeah, honestly if you are here right now, you will testify to the fact it is cold, wet, grey and windy. we are on the departure side of gatwick and plenty of flights taking off today towards spain and other destinations. everyone i have spoken to this morning are saying they are happy to get away. overall the sentiment has been they welcome the fa ct sentiment has been they welcome the fact the government has acted fast toissue fact the government has acted fast to issue this rule about quarantine. most people saying they are willing to ta ke most people saying they are willing to take the hit. they say it has been a tough lockdown over the last 3-4 been a tough lockdown over the last 3—4 months and they desperately want a bit of sunshine. here is a flavour of what some of the people said to me this morning. i am not too concerned, if i get home, i will work from home which i have been doing anyway. i am more concerned
11:07 am
about the children because they have to stay at home for two weeks, it is harder to control. it is annoying but i feel at the moment it is a risk we want to take, you have to do it if you go on holiday. it concerns me more, they notice. we find ourselves in turkey and they give notice, it doesn't give us much time to plan to go home. it was a bit of a risk when we booked it but we still wanted to go. the travel industry during this lockdown has been amongst the worst hit, we have seen thousands of lay—offs, flybe has finally gone under, ryanair warning about a profits loss. the news that people here are still willing to go on holiday to spain, the blaring islands and the canaries is music to their ear, but the foreign office is warning travellers that they must check the details of their insurance and they must keep checking, whether or not the country they have now booked to go to is still on that so—called travel corridors that the british government has created, the
11:08 am
one in which if you want to go to that country, you would not have quarantine on the way back. thank you very much. let's talk to our assistant political editor — norman smith. i guessed mixed reaction to this quarantine announcement, but does it look and feel as though the government does have a clear strategy because we saw in spain and around barcelona those numbers going up around barcelona those numbers going upfor around barcelona those numbers going up for quite around barcelona those numbers going upforquitea around barcelona those numbers going up for quite a few days before this was suddenly announced over the weekend. there are a whole load of questions, not least is the fact we have known about the increasing rate in and around barcelona for more than a week. other parts of spain, most parts of spain actually have got a lower rate, considerably lower than we have here. and also significantly, no other country, no other country is doing this. the british government view is i think they need to go with a very clear simple, hard approach, if you like, if you have a more nuanced policy so
11:09 am
you allow it in some parts of spain, allow people to travel without quarantine but impose restrictions on others, a bit complicated and thatis on others, a bit complicated and that is the fear of people possibly travelling from a holiday in catalonia and then going down to the spanish islands. they decided to go for the big approach, just to have a blanket quarantine policy, simple, easy, everyone understands it, comes in very quickly. part of that, i think was to underscore, that if necessary , think was to underscore, that if necessary, they will unpick some of the easing of restrictions that you have seen over recent weeks. they will impose lockdown is and yes, they may impose quarantine on other countries because i think the fear is as we gradually begin to get out of this, people basically think we can go on a summer holiday and forget about it, we are through it, when of course, all the evidence is that coronavirus is going to be here
11:10 am
for some time to come and we are going to have to remain vigilant in terms of the restrictions. just a pick—up in terms of government thinking, grant shapps is in spain, he went just as thinking, grant shapps is in spain, he wentjust as lockdown was announced, is it not surprising he did not know his colleagues in government at the department of health were going to announce this? the exact mechanics of the decision—making process, i don't know. i surmise there was probably a moment where the scientists said well, actually, the pick—up in the r rate in catalonia so serious we have got to move. there are plenty of people saying why didn't he just engage in this conversation some days before to alert travellers this is may be something you are thinking about? clearly, the implications go way beyond spain. obviously, for the travel and aviation industry, but also for ordinary folk who will now be calculating, well, can i really risk going ahead with a holiday in,
11:11 am
i don't know, italy or greece because perhaps the same thing could happen there. the broader impact could be utterly profound from that decision. on that, have you heard of any future restrictions potential coming in? france is a massive tourist destination, germany as well. so far nothing specific beyond a general assertion that if other countries have the same sort of problems as we have seen in and around barcelona, it is very much a possibility, but so far nothing in detail. no. ijust to let you know, the global airline body is criticising the snap decision saying this is going to be a big step back for consumer confidence which is essential to recovery and it is disproportionate. on the other hand, some people say look, we are glad the government is acting quickly because protecting our health is just the most important thing. part of it, i wonder, is almost a reaction of what happened at the beginning of the outbreak when you
11:12 am
remember there was no effective quarantining of remember there was no effective quara ntining of people remember there was no effective quarantining of people coming in, i think there was in some flights coming from china, but elsewhere no quarantine and i wonder whether ministers almost in compensation for that have decided they are not going to make the same mistake again this time and have decided to go in hard indeed, even though, as we have discussed, the potential ramifications, just from this one decision, could really blight the whole of the summer holiday business abroad. there is also the psychological element as well, given that people have had the long months of lockdown and they have been looking forward to a bit of sunshine, a summer break, to have that snatched away, it's really a very, very big ask of the wider population. these decisions are so difficult and so complex, aren't they? everyone is dreading the winter and thinking we need a bit of a release now. both borisjohnson and rishi sunak have said they were staying in the uk. would it not have been better for them to say, look, you are free to go wherever you want
11:13 am
but you can stay home? the difficulty there is that would have compounded the fury of the travel industry and the airline industry if the government was to explicitly say avoid foreign holidays, because that really would i suspect must be a death knell. we know the aviation industry is desperate, in dire straits, they have been appealing for government support, they haven't got direct cash support which they believe they need. they are looking for sectoral support for the industry. if the government had come out and said look, forget your holiday abroad, we have seen shares already plummet to just on the back of that one decision relating to spain. if there had been a broader suggestion that you shouldn't travel abroad at all, i imagine the impact could have been absolutely catastrophic. and in any indication at all, i guess pressures will keep coming on the government
11:14 am
underwriting on the ferry at risk businesses? there will be pressure, we have heard pressure from sections of spain when they don't have the same level of infections and we have heard the spanish prime minister appealing to the british government to relax the situation in the spanish islands where they have have minimal infections, partly because they are islands. for them, it is crucial, it is the lifeblood of the local economies and sustain so many jobs. we have already seen pressure from the spanish tourism industry for a more nuanced approach, likewise with the airlines. we heard from the boss of tui saying what happens when people can travel to america? are we really going to see if new york has a problem, you cannot travel to california. that would seem an awfully big ask. there are would seem an awfully big ask. there a re clear pressures would seem an awfully big ask. there are clear pressures on the government to pull back from this much more blanket approach they have
11:15 am
gone for, for a like the more nuanced, subtle approach. thank you so much for that. the airline company ryanair has reported a loss of 168 million pounds — or around 215 million dollars — for the three months tojune — when lockdowns around the world left many planes grounded. the airline carried half—a—million passengers, compared with 42 million during the same three months last year. a significant easing of coronavirus lockdown restrictions have come into force in wales — but face coverings are now mandatory for everyone aged over 11 using public transport, bringing it into line with other parts of the uk. museums, cinemas, and beauty salons are re—opening today, but pubs, cafes, and restaurants will have to stay closed for at least another week. the country's housing market has also fully restarted, and driving lessons can also resume. "buy one get one free" deals for unhealthy food will be banned as part of the government's bid to tackle obesity in england. the prime minister said
11:16 am
the plans would help "reduce our health risks and protect ourselves against coronavirus". a ban on junk food adverts before nine in the evening has been confirmed — for the whole uk. 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
11:17 am
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 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 tasha has been campaigning for greater healthier options for young people and a ban forjunk food adverts before 9pm. i want to change 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. tasha 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 0reos. really?
11:18 am
yeah. how many would you have? the whole packet. a lot more advertising 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. the headlines on bbc news... travel bosses say they fear quarantine regulations — for people flying into the uk from spain — will lead to some firms going bust.

chinese authorities say they have taken over the us consulate in chengdu after it was ordered to shut last week, the latest move in the tit—for—tat diplomatic spat between the two countries. buy one get one free deals on junk food will be banned as part of a new government strategy to combat obesity in england, junk food abbots across the uk will not be a lab nine o'clock. we all need to be doing more cycling. let's have a look at the sport. we all need to be doing more cycling. let's have a look at the sport. thank you, we are going to start with cricket, what we hoped at least would be some action but the weather has got in the way of england's charge towards a series win over the west indies. it has been chucking it down at old trafford so at the start of day four, england is in a release strong position, 399 to win it and they lost a couple of wickets last night. they will resume ten — two, england eight wickets away from winning this

deciding test but they may have to wait until tomorrow to get it done or when the forecast looks better. next, the fallout for the final day of the premier league season, aston villa surviving by the skin of the teeth but no such luck for watford and bournemouth who drop out of the league after five years, the bournemouth boss was tight—lipped on his future after their relegation to the championship was confirmed. or one of the club's former managers say he has to stay if they are to have any chance of bouncing straight back up to the premier league. he does such an amazing job. people forget this club has been 100 years, never been out division two or three. championship football is probably punching way above their weight, let alone getting into the premier league. he has taken them through the divisions, took them to the premier, five years in the premier league, never really been in relegation trouble before this year. no, the job he has done has been one
11:21 am
of the most incredible stories i think in football, the things he has achieved with bournemouth. juventus have won the italian chap in ship for a record ninth time in the role. cristiano ronaldo, who else, opening the scoring. his 31st league goal of the scoring. his 31st league goal of the season as they win the title with two games to spare. finally, there and some live tennis going on right now which we can show you a little bit of. it is the break of play, it is the latest battle of the brits. event tournament organised by jimmy marie this week. it is a team event this week. two teams of 13 playing for a point, singles, doubles and mixed doubles. we have the british number one johanna konta, play just getting the british number one johanna konta, playjust getting under way. judy murray is one of the captains. it is the early stages of this one, you can watch it live now on the website and on the app. that is all
11:22 am
your support for now. i will have more for you in the next hour. 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 us and china have been severely strained in recent months, as 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.
11:23 am
..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 injanuary. together, we are righting the wrongs of the past and delivering a future of economicjustice and security. since then, the relationship has gone into reverse with the latest allegations including espionage. paul hawkins, bbc news. our correspondent, stephen mcdonell, is in beijing and was asked whether this marks the end of the tit—for—tat closures. i don't think it is the end of it by a long shot and the chinese government doesn't seem to think so either. we have just come from the foreign ministry here in beijing where the foreign ministry spokesperson has said that really all of these latest fights,
11:24 am
especially over the closure of the consulate, is coming from the us side and have said they have called on washington to try and do something to normalise relations between the two. they have said that washington has over—hyped these allegations of spying because that is one of the reasons the state department has given for closing this houston consulate, saying it basically was a base for chinese spying in the united states. however, at the press briefing today, a lot of time went into discussing whether or not it is right to enter one of these buildings after they have been vacated. what happened on friday was that after the chinese diplomats left the houston consulate, they locked it up. us officers broke in then to the former chinese consulate. according to the chinese government, this is a breach of the vienna convention. on the other hand, this morning
11:25 am
when the us diplomats left chengdu, they left the door wide open and chinese officials marched in the front door. what we heard today is this is all the us's fault and this is why it is all happening, but it is interesting. we asked the spokesman, are you saying that if nobody had gone into that houston consulate, you wouldn't have gone into the chengdu consulate? and he did not answer directly. he said americans started all of this. it is a very bizarre situation. either way, what the experts are telling us is that once you leave a diplomatic post like this, it is kind of useless to you anyway because there is no way that the americans, even if they are allowed to open up in chengdu again or the chinese were able to open up in houston again, they are not going to trust that building any more.
11:26 am
when the other side has time to put bugs in or surveillance equipment to spy on you. essentially, they are unsafe buildings in terms of operating as a diplomatic post, they are gone anyway, which is why some people have been left scratching their head and wondering why the chinese side are so upset about anyone going into that building, because there is no way they were ever going to realistically use it as a consulate again anyway, even if some sort of houston consulate opens again in the future. the world health organization has been talking about about what is going on with the international travel situation and saying it will ta ke travel situation and saying it will take days or weeks to the future of the situation in spain, and expecting to see clusters under control in due course. this has been reported by reuters at the moment. the world health organization saying travel measures alone are not effective in dealing with disease.
11:27 am
they have praised again countries like germany and south korea for keeping strong measures like wearing masks in place, all the usual measures that we know about, and saying those countries that have been good in that are seeing the number is limited. and also saying it is inevitable to a degree to people start to move, the numbers are obviously going to change. saying continue to keep international borders closed is not sustainable strategy and it is hard to have a one size fits all approach. as countries is looked on, we are getting increased numbers, as eve ryo ne we are getting increased numbers, as everyone is predicting, not suppressing. . the virus—hit state of victoria in australia has reported six deaths and 532 new cases — surpassing the national daily high of 502 registered last week. melbourne is halfway through its six—week lockdown but officials are now warning that lockdown may need to be extended. last week they noted that sick

people going to work, or not isolating properly, were contributing to the virus' continued spread. authorities in vietnam are evacuating 80,000 local tourists from the port city of danang after four residents tested positive for covid—19. the country had not reported any new cases for the past three months until the government confirmed the new infections over the weekend. our southeast asia correspondent, jonathan head, said the latest measures are dramatic but not unprecedented. they are not unprecedented in vietnam which took dramatic action at the start of the covid—19 problem back in january, they have a long border with china and was acutely aware of its vulnerabilities and instituted some extremely rigorous contact tracing, quarantining entire communities where the virus is recorded. vietnam has been praised for that kind of drastic action, maybe only possible in a one—party state. it has in fact got one of the best records on covid—19,
11:29 am
onlyjust over 400 cases in total. no deaths at all until now and it had had, until these latest cases, over three months with no local transmissions at all. that kind of drastic action has worked for vietnam. they have to figure out now that having got the record so successful and having had no infections for so long, given that their borders are in effect sealed, very few foreigners are allowed in and those that do come in are very tightly controlled, where did these infections come from? that is what is worrying the authorities. they are looking into the possibility of people being allowed to come in illegally, being smuggled in as a source for this infection, because otherwise it is hard to attributed. if you had no local infections for that long, where did these people, three from danang, one from a province not far away, where did they get their covid—19 from and that is a worry. now it's time for a look

at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. today's weather it summed up by staying cloudy and wet, a little bit of brightness later but there will be some showers, some heavy and thundery, moving out of northern ireland, across scotland. you can see the tail end by the south, bringing rain into the south—east behind that, some showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. but in between, there will be some bright skies and sunshine. gusty winds today making it feel cooler than those temperatures suggest. through this evening and overnight the rain pulls up into the north—east of scotland, there will still be some showers packing in from the west, blowing eastwards on the gusty winds but a fairly mild night, temperatures falling to between nine and 14 degrees. tomorrow, 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. showers in the west at times, over towards the s. quite a bit of dry weather between the showers, some brightness and equally some sunny spells as well.

the chinese authorities say they have taken over the us consulate after it was ordered to shut last week. the latest move. 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. this feels like a joined up holistic approach. it feels like we have a pm who is taking this seriously. vietnam evacuates 80,000 people from a coastal city after four residents test positive for covid19. the opium farmers of afghanistan using solar technology

to increase the yield of their crops, and boost the world supply of heroin. and... at home with the murrays. britain's most famous tennis family talk lockdown, keeping in touch and the trouble with video calling. our home affairs correspondent is with me. what you make of this? this isa with me. what you make of this? this is a detailed analysis of all the fixed penalty notices imposed by police in england and wales from march to may. it has been done by statisticians from the government and it has been peer reviewed. what the statistics show is that broadly, when you look at all age groups and vines, black and minority ethnic
11:33 am
groups were six times more likely to be given a fixed penalty notice then white people. when you bear down on the figures more and you look at the age group 18 to 34—year—olds, four men, these are predominantly where all the fines are going, black, asian and minority ethnic people we re asian and minority ethnic people were twice as likely to be fined than young white men. that's what the disproportionality figures are showing. then, when you look at individual force showing. then, when you look at individualforce areas, showing. then, when you look at individual force areas, what you see is that there are some forces who have quite high rates of disparity, for example, cumbria, 6.5, black and asian people, 6.5 times more likely to be fined than white people. lancashire, the figure is five, five times more law likely, in north yorkshire, 5.6. some of these differences can be explained by the fa ct differences can be explained by the fact that, according to police, you have large numbers of people,
11:34 am
tourist visitors coming to these areas, rural areas, tourist visitors coming to these areas, ruralareas, particularly in north yorkshire, cumbria, lancashire in some cases, and the resident population there is quite low in terms of black and minority ethnic representation, so that is kind of skewing the figures to some extent. that may explain why those areas have quite a large disparity rates. is it clear whether this is because the police are targeting black asian and minority ethnic groups more or whether there is genuinely more breaking of rules among these groups? this is difficult. the figures don't tell as this, but the analysis shows that first you have to be quite careful, because in some areas, you have a very low number of fines being issued and so you can't draw great conclusions and obviously, if you have a small number of fines and it happens at some of them are posed on black
11:35 am
people, that can affect the disproportionality figures, so you have to be careful in that sense. i think what the police are saying is that they are concerned about the disparity rates, they think it could be affected in some areas where you have high crime rates and high police activity and that could affect the figures, it could also be that in some areas where there are not very good relations between police and minority ethnic groups, low levels of trust between those communities, they are less likely to engage with police and accept this sort of encouragement to comply with the regulations. clearly, there is more analysis needed on that, it doesn't necessarily mean that ethnic minorities are being targeted by police, the police for help that isn't the case, but that cannot be ruled out until there has been more research done into these figures but
11:36 am
one thing i would would say is that the figures are far lower than the stop and search. black people are nine times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people so far lower there and also perhaps lower than some previous reports have suggested. are these figures broken down by ethnicity rather than just black and asian? they are broken down into black, asian, and other groups as well but again, in some force areas, those figures will be low and it will be dangerous to draw a lot of comparisons on relatively small figures. just one other thing, we also have the overall latest fixed penalty figures up overall latest fixed penalty figures up until the 20th ofjuly, there has been very little change in the previous two weeks, just eight new fines were imposed across england and wales in six of them were four people on public transport who refused to put a face covering on. thanks very much.

as we've been hearing, 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 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.
11:38 am
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 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 in 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 and sunday, so she has not been seeing me or the kids,
11:39 am
really, at the weekends. so the holiday 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 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. firs 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. so a few phone calls. 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?
11:40 am
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. 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. "buy one get one free" deals for unhealthy food have been 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". a ban on junk food adverts before nine in the evening has also been confirmed — for the whole uk. earlier we heard the thoughts of childhood obesity campaigner and chef, jamie oliver.
11:41 am
todayis today is a really important, i think pivotal moment, actually. we've been working on this for about five yea rs. working on this for about five years. all of these points were in the first chapter of the obesity strategy with mr cameron. we have come a long way since then. ups are mainly down's. so, this feels like a joined up, more holistic approach and it feels that finally, we have a pm who is taking this seriously. how it came to be, who knows? but, i think the environment at the moment where it is amplifying the importance of good health and a good immune system, it probably has given it the little push it needed. 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.
11:42 am
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 ijust froze. 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.
11:43 am
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. 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.
11:44 am
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. 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
11:45 am
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 reallyjust 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. everyone being very honest there. we are hearing that one person has been fined by police after breaching quarantine rules after arriving from abroad. that is dated from the national police chief counsel. that is coming of course after the
11:46 am
quarantine announcement on spain and the islands. but this does not include fines issued by the uk border force, which issued three penalties byjuly the 10th when other quarantine rules were brought in but of course, just one person being fined by police for breaching quarantine rules after arriving from abroad according to the national police chiefs council. this doesn't include fines issued as a result of the localised leicester lock down. travel bosses say they fear quarantine regulations — for people flying into the uk from spain — will lead to some firms going bust. the chinese authorities say they have taken over the us consulate in chengdu after it was ordered to shut last week — the latest move in the tit for tat diplomatic spat between the two countries. buy one get one free deals on junk food will 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. students at the university
11:47 am
of nottingham have today become the first in england to return to face to face classes. after months forced to study online — those at the veterinary school are at last getting hands—on experience and training. the university says the lessons learned will help it prepare for its full intake of students in september. carolyn moses reports. you want to just go in and see if you can draw that triangle with your fingers? getting back to the chalk face. this is the first face—to—face teaching the students have had and they are the first in a country to move away from lockdown lessons. they are the first in a country to move away from lockdown lessonsm is important that the students get to engage with animals on the right setting so we were keen to get them here as soon as possibly they could. they won't be having lectures but it will enable them to have the access to the facilities within the school. that's the thing that will make a real difference for them. masked and
11:48 am
with lecturers socially distance, 150 students are also being taught in small bubbles, with those only from the same university flat sharing the same class. it means we form a close bond together because we are always together. which is good, because everyone seems nice. gray might after being inside for so long, being able to get out and being around the animals it's amazing. if you are doing it online, you might forget why are you doing it and when you actually touch a dog, it reminds you why you are doing it. we can't do it online. we have tried. we had a session where we use the dog here archie and i was narrating the task but you can't teach what it feels like without the students feeling it and that is why we need our students back. they have been able to come back because the university is the first to offer a twice yearly intake of veterinary
11:49 am
stu d e nts twice yearly intake of veterinary students and it is this april intake which means some summer particles can be trialled. preparing young vets to be and the university of the future. what this does is enable us to translate that learning into our bigger reopening plans come september. obviously, we will be sharing that experience with other universities as well, so that eve ryo ne universities as well, so that everyone can learn from the experience of this pioneering group of students. so, i think it's a really great opportunity for them but also for us to learn from their experiences. some of the uk's top tennis players have — like the rest of us — been keeping in touch online and doing home workouts, but they've also been busy organising an elite tennis tournament: the battle of the brits. andy and jamie murray — together with their motherjudy — joined sally nugent via video call to explain. morning, jamie! have you got us? it's not like you to keep everyone waiting, so... well, he's not the last in the room, is he? i've messaged her.
11:50 am
judy! it'll be on mute. morning! you are on mute! yeah, you are on mute, which is fine. can we keep it that way? yeah, no, still on mute. that's a shame. i know — that is a shame! never mind. you've got us all, sally. it is brilliant to see you all. obviously, we are talking about the battle of the brits. the next tournament that jamie, you have organised. it is been pretty manic the last couple of weeks trying to organise everyone. i love team events, and this one, particularly as it's mixed, and i love all the tactical scouting and team building and so on, so it's right up my street. i was thrilled to bits when he asked me. i didn't tell him that, of course. i played hard to get. andy, what about you? how did he persuade you or did you need no persuading at all? i really enjoy team events as well, it's just a bit of a shame we are all on the same team. i was quite hoping to see my mum against me but... hang on a minute. you are all on the same team? so, let me get this right.
11:51 am
mum is in charge? absolutely, sally. something like that. mum and greg rusedski. co—captaining. it is good for family harmony that we are all on the same team, i think. interesting to know how you've all been managing in lockdown, because we have had a little insight into your lives, haven't we, from social media. jamie, your fitness routines are not. like everyone, we are stuck at home for a few months and that was our way to exercise. it's been fun and i feel great. the best i've ever felt, physically. obviously, with staying in shape, i have not been posting every work—out i do online like jamie, but you know, we have been doing ourfamily zoom quizzes. what's it like the one family now to keep pushing the future of tennis? what andy has done over his career
11:52 am
and how much interest he has created in tennis in this country, obviously we all want to see that taken advantage of. i think that's why my mum so passionate about what she has been doing and i would say, largely under the radar, giving all these kids the opportunity to pick up a racket for the first time. it has been amazing what she has done. it is brilliant to see you all, thank you very much for talking to is this morning. loads and loads of luck with the tournament, we wish you all well. thanks, sally. no one will want to be up against that family. battle of the brits is available on iplayer, the red button, and the bbc sport website. 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,
11:53 am
have significantly increased the world supply of the drug. 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.
11:54 am
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,
11:55 am
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 ‘skag', 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
11:56 am
and the coronavirus. he worries another spike in heroin addiction and, therefore, crime is on its way. justin rowlatt, bbc news. he's already one of hollywood's biggest names. now tom hanks and his wife, the actor rita wilson, have officially became greek citizens. the country's prime minister posted this photo on his instagram account of the pair holding their new passports. they were given honorary citizenship last december after tom hanks raised global awareness of the fatal fires that devastated areas near athens in 2018. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello, we haven't seen any hot and
