good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. thousands of british families are being forced to reconsider their holiday plans after the government's decision to reimpose quaratines for those visiting spain threw people's trips into disarray. the sudden announcement on saturday night leaves travellers already in spain facing a fortnight confined to home when they return, and others wondering whether to cancel their trips abroad. travel agents have warned the decision could see many of them go under, and the global body representing airlines has criticised the move, saying it's out of proportion to the risks. theo leggett reports. sun, sea and sand followed by two weeks of isolation when you get back home. that is the prospect facing holiday—makers in spain are heading to the country after the government introduced new restrictions over the weekend. we've got our cases are packed, passports, tickets. many have simply had to cancel. among

them, and here, who had been planning to go on a long—awaited break with his wife and three children. devastated by the kids, really. looking forward to it for a year and basically we had half an hour, me and my wife, what do we do? and for those already in spain the prospect of quarantine has been dampening the holiday spirit. all hell broke loose, the whole family we re hell broke loose, the whole family were panicking what to do. cancelled by were panicking what to do. cancelled rugby tours, cancelled netball, cancelled birthday parties. a bit of a shock to the system, really. cancelled birthday parties. a bit of a shock to the system, reallym isn't just about having a shock to the system, reallym isn'tjust about having to isolate. the government is now advising against all but essential travel to the spanish mainland, which means people who do go there could find themselves uninsured, as well. the new restrictions have been introduced because of a surge in coronavirus cases in spain, but ministers have already warned the situation in other countries, such as france and germany, is being monitored closely. what i would say to people who are planning holidays,

look at the foreign office advice, check your travel insurance, check the conditions on the tour operator, and you have to be mindful that we are ina and you have to be mindful that we are in a situation of a global pandemic. we have to continue to keep the situation under review. for many within the travel industry this is disastrous. businesses had been hoping that a surge in summer bookings would bring in a much needed income after months of lockdown. now they are worried customers will simply turn away. gem that runs haslemere travel in surrey. she says people are becoming worried about going abroad at all and not just to worried about going abroad at all and notjust to spain. it'sjust been chaotic because what it's done is not only because doubt about spain, admittedly because that's where the advice is for, but it is about the other countries on the government fco list as a safety travel. if this can happen to spain, could it possibly happen to italy and croatia and any of the other countries? the answer is it probably could. the spanish authorities are

putting intense pressure on the government here to lift restrictions on people returning from the canary islands or the balearics. on the grounds that they are far away from the main outbreaks in northern spain. we really want a regional policy. if you cast your mind forward to when something like the united states opens up, which we'll help far, and if there is a problem in new york, but florida is ok, we don't really want to have a quarantine on the whole of the us. i think we really need to practice regional quarantine idea. the move has also attracted criticism from ryanair. the airline lost £169 million in the three months to the end ofjune. it is, though, continued to fly to spain and says the quarantine rules will be extremely difficult to police. despite these objections, the government insists that the new restrictions were necessary to avoid an increase in infections at home as the country emerges from lockdown. theo leggett, bbc news.

british travellers coming back from spain are now facing two weeks trapped indoors, leaving many unable to work. our correspondent in madrid is guy hedgecoe. it's peak holiday season, but madrid airport is close to deserted. after the devastating impact of coronavirus earlier in the year, the uk's announcement of a new quarantine is a further blow for spain's tourism sector. many british tourists rushed to return home before the new quarantine came into effect, but many flights have now been cancelled as demand has dropped off. very few people boarded this flight to heathrow — a number of them were spaniards returning to their homes in the uk. in scotland we've had quarantine, so i was prepared for that. i'm not very happy, to be honest, because i'm a midwife and i work in a hospital. i know for sure that in london they actually have far more cases of covid—19 than we actually have in spain. spain lifted its national

lockdown and travel restrictions in latejune. the hope was that injuly and august the tourism industry could make up some of the ground it lost earlier in the year. but the resurgence of coronavirus in certain parts of spain has foiled that plan. we live here, so we live here, but we are british citizens. and it's going to make it really difficult now for the economy and the bars to be able to grow and get back to normal life, when in the uk people are not going to want to come over here now because it's portraying us in a really bad light. tourism makes up over a tenth of the spanish economy, and the british are the biggest single market for spain's tourism industry. the main health care concern is in the north—east of spain — particularly in the region of catalonia. its local government has introduced a number of new restrictions, including closing down all nightclubs as it attempts to stem further contagion.

we are very proud of our tourism industry. it is taking the pandemic seriously and is committed to applying the highest safety standards. catalonia is definitively a safe and friendly destination for national and international visitors alike. spain is desperately trying to persuade the world it is still a safe place to visit. one of its arguments is the fact some of its biggest tourism destinations, like the canary and balearic islands, have much lower rates of infection than the rest of spain, and indeed than the uk. the spanish government is now hoping that, at the very least, it can secure exemptions from the british quarantine for people travelling from those islands. but in the meantime, the outlook for spain's tourism industry is bleak. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid. in a moment we'll talk to our correspondent

sangita mysaka at gatwick — but first let's go live to guy. what about the spanish attempts to try to get different treatment for the canaries and the balearics? today we have heard from the tourism minister of the spanish government. she was in the balearic islands today and she talked about this and said the government is in contact with london, it is negotiating this. she said she wants to see a solution as soon as possible. she even used the words "better today rather than tomorrow". i don't necessarily think that means we will see a solution today but clearly the spanish government is desperate to see a change or an adjustment of this policy. she also underlined the fact that the balearics and the canary islands have a relatively low incidence of coronavirus. both are sets of islands have infection rates of less tha n sets of islands have infection rates of less than ten people, less than ten infections, per 100,000

inhabitants. that is markedly lower than the rest of spain, and lower than the rest of spain, and lower than the rest of spain, and lower than the uk, as well. it is interesting to note, as well, that there are other areas of spain which are now asking to be included in any possible exemption. today the southern region of andalusia, where the costa del sol is, at the eastern region of valencia, both regional governments of those areas have said they would like to be included in an exception because the british market is so important to them. but for now it does seem as if the spanish authorities are focusing very much on the balearic islands and the ca nary islands. on the balearic islands and the canary islands. thank you very much. thank you very much. what is the mood of passengers in departures there? it is a grey, wet and extremely windy day here in southern england. behind me is the departure is a gate at gatwick airport. everyone arriving here is more 01’ airport. everyone arriving here is more or less a self—selecting group. in other words, over the last 2a hours they have decided to go ahead with the holidays, and that means

eve ryo ne with the holidays, and that means everyone i have spoken to for sure says two things. one, that they actually welcomed the speed with which the government has made its decision on quarantine, and secondly they are taking a very pragmatic approach, which is, we are in the middle of an international pandemic. that means this is now the new normal, and that when they go away they expect to be coming back to quarantine and will be following the guidelines. i have to say, when i pressed them further on conditions of employment and whether they feel they will get enough help from their employers, this is where it all sta rts employers, this is where it all starts looking a bit more iffy. lots of people saying to me this morning that they are hoping their employers will also take the same attitude, a pragmatic one. the problem is, of course, is the government hasn't explained what it means when it asks employers to be supportive. does that mean keeping jobs open? does that mean keeping jobs open? does that mean keeping jobs open? does that mean allowing staff to continue to work from home even when it is a bit of a struggle? i have to say, the positive nature of the sentiment here will clearly be something that

the travel industry will be welcoming. how long this continues, well, of course, that's anyone's guess. back to you. thank you very much, sangita. let's talk to our assistant political editor, norman smith, in westminster. huge pressure on the government and a lot of criticism about how they have handled this. let's be honest, short of cancelling christmas or announcing an immediate cull of the first—born, it's hard to think. three months of lockdown people have claimed on a hope of the summer break away and this decision will force a lot of people to think, can i really risked going away, notjust to spain, but italy or greece, because of the danger the government may introduce a quarantine there? it isa may introduce a quarantine there? it is a real dampener for many, may introduce a quarantine there? it is a real dampenerfor many, many people. never mind the uproar at the spanish tourism industry with buses saying, hang on, coronavirus in life pa rt saying, hang on, coronavirus in life part of spain is a lot less than you have got in the uk. we have seen the

travel industry, the aviation industry, saying you are cutting us off at the knees just as we are trying to get going again. labour saying the whole thing is too heavy—handed, and we are the only country to do this! no one else is doing this! what is going on? three things, i think. doing this! what is going on? three things, ithink. one, a genuine doing this! what is going on? three things, i think. one, a genuine fear of coronavirus being imported back into the uk, but also a desire to have a very simple message that applies to the whole of spain. and lastly, i think there is a view that the government has to demonstrate to people that they are serious about the imposing restrictions if there is any danger of the coronavirus picking up again. the fear is that people swung off on their summer holidays, have a few sangria and think, well, it's all over, we don't have to bother with these restrictions. i think the government wa nts to restrictions. i think the government wants to underline that this virus is very, very far from over. norman, thank you very much for that. and at the end of the programme we'll be answering your questions and asking our personal finance correspondent

what this all means for you. the time is 13.13. our top story this lunchtime. holiday plans up in the air for millions as a strict quarantine rules are reimposed at short notice on travellers returning from spain. airlines and travel agents won't blanket measures are out of proportion to the risks. coming up — the veterinary students who've become the first in england to get back in the saddle. coming up in sport on bbc news, what next for eddie howe and bournemouth, after the club's relegated to the championship after five years in the premier league? people who are overweight are at greater risk from coronavirus, and now ministers have announced a new strategy to help millions of people in england slim down. the plans include a ban on tv adverts for unhealthy food before 9:00pm and an end to displays of sweets at store checkouts. restaurants will also have to display the calories of dishes on menus, as lauren moss reports.

it's a new strategy to tackle a familiar issue. obesity. being overweight and carrying excess body fat is linked with diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, and a greater risk of getting seriously ill from covid—19. now the department of health has announced how it plans to tackle it in england. butjust how easyis tackle it in england. butjust how easy is it to make healthier choices? like, if there was an option between, like, a watermelon and mcdonald's, i would choose the mcdonald's and most people would choose the mcdonald's. somebody sees takeaway adverts and wa nts somebody sees takeaway adverts and wants one! it's down to individual choice and lifestyle, isn't it? it's what people feel happy with and comfortable with. some of the steps we re comfortable with. some of the steps were put out to consultation in 2018 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,

get one free" on unhealthy foods, and calorie labels in restaurants and takeaways. it's a bit of change for the prime minister, who last year spoke of syntaxes. taxes which will distribution —— disproportionately stop people from being so fat. soma can you really only have chicken and chips, chicken and ribs. for 19—year—old tasha who has been campaigning for healthy options for young people, it is a huge step forward , young people, it is a huge step forward, but part of a wider issue. i want to change the narrative from it being, "oh, it's a person's fault, it's their family's fault," when it's actually recognising that the environment that young people are growing up in — the environment that children are growing up in —

is completely different to, like, 20, 30, a0 years ago. latest figures show there were 870,000 hospital admissions related to obesity in england in one year and one in five children in their final year of primary skill are classified as obese. some say the measures don't go far enough, while others have called them a slap in the face. it seems to me it would have been a great opportunity to have been a great opportunity to have a very positive campaign focused on physical activity and positive nutrition, and what we have got i nstea d positive nutrition, and what we have got instead is some reheated proposals from two years ago that will increase consumer prices, reduced choice. a weight loss app is also being launched, and gps will be able to prescribe cycling. these measures are merely for england but some, including the advertising watershed, will affect the whole of the uk. obesity —related illnesses cost the nhs £6 billion a year. it looks like the menu and how we see it may be about to change. lauren moss, bbc news.

wearing a face covering has become compulsory on public transport in wales. everybody over the age of 11 will need to wear a mask, made of at least three layers of fabric, when travelling by train, bus, or taxi. from today, cinemas, museums and beauty salons are able to reopen — and driving lessons have been allowed to resume. young men from black and asian backgrounds were almost twice as likely to be handed fines for breaches of lockdown rules than white men of the same age — that's according to new figures for england and wales. our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, is with me. what are these figures revealing? these figures compare the rates of fines issued to people from different ethnic groups according to the proportion of them in the population and they looked at two months worth of data between march and may and these were essentially fines on people imposed on people for gathering in groups or being outdoors when they had no good reason to do so and it found young men aged 18—34, they were the groups predominantly who were fined, and a

young black men and young asian men and people from other ethnic minority groups were twice as likely to be issued fines as young white men. overall, when you look at all the fines, over all the disparity was slightly less than that, about 1.6, but there were wide variations across the country. for example, in cumbria you were 6.4 times more likely to be given a fine if you we re likely to be given a fine if you were from a black, asian or ethnic minority group. in north yorkshire, 5.6 times more likely. lancashire, five times more likely. the national police chiefs council says this may be because that in those areas they have relatively low levels of ethnic minority residents but there were high numbers of people going in and visiting for day trips and so on from other ethnic minority groups so that may explain the disparity there. what we also have are some updated figures on the overall number of fines issued to people in england and wales up to the 20 july.

it shows there were just short of 19,000 fines issued but the number of fines issued has really slowed and in the previous two weeks on the eight new fines imposed, six of them for people who didn't put on a face covering on public transport, one fine imposed by police in lincolnshire for someone who didn't self—isolate after coming back to england from coming abroad. one fine for a breach of quarantine and one fine imposed by the borderforce. a scottish pilot, who was described as the sickest patient in asia after contracting covid—19, has warned people to not become blase about the disease. stephen cameron spent 114 days in hospital in vietnam, and returned to the uk two weeks ago to continue his rehabilitation. he's been speaking to our reporter, oliver barnes. i had multiple blood clots. i had renalfailure. i had another couple of organs failing me.

my lungs were down to 10% capacity at one stage. i've been told that i was asia's sickest patient. home at last, and on the road to recovery. pilot stephen cameron moved to vietnam earlier this year to start a newjob. how's that? better? 0k? within a few days of his first flight, he was on a ventilator with severe covid—19. he would remain on it for over two months. when stephen regained consciousness in earlyjune, he was delirious, 30kg lighter, and couldn't move his legs. when i first woke up i thought, will i be able to walk again? was i paralysed ? i didn't know if i was paralysed for life or anything because i couldn't. .. i couldn't feel my feet. stephen hopes to be back in the skies again as soon as possible, but his recovery will be long and arduous. vietnam is yet to record a single death from coronavirus. stephen came closer to dying than anyone else — and keeping him alive became a matter of national pride. after 114 days, he left

hospital as a celebrity. the vast majority of the country knew about patient 91, which i — was my moniker. when we went through the lobby, it must‘ve been about ten deep with people. everybody had their phones out — even doctors, nurses in the different wards that we went past. and when i got into the back of the ambulance, when we were getting driven away, there was traffic cops out on the roads holding people back — again, maybe 15—, 20—deep people out on the street, on the road. for somebody who doesn't really seek out notoriety or limelight, it was a bit surprising and...i wouldn't say overwhelming, but ijust couldn't believe it. and, as lockdown eases here in scotland and in the uk, do you have a message for people in their approach to the advice and guidelines? i mean, i'm...a living example of what this virus can do and how it is serious. you know, people might grumble

about having to put on gloves, or social distancing — two metres apart and all this sort of stuff, but do you know... i contracted it and i was under for ten weeks, on life support. it's no laughing matter. it's a very serious thing, and i think people...can't be blase about this until we have eradicated it. oliver barnes, bbc news. students at the university of nottingham have 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. do you want to just go and see if you can draw out that triangle with your fingers? getting back to the...well, chalkface — this is the first face—to—face teaching these first—year students have had — and they're also the first in the country to move away from lockdown lessons. it's really important that these

students get to engage with animals in the right setting. so we were very, very keen to get them here as soon as we possibly could. they won't be having lectures, but it will enable them to have the access to the facilities within the school, and to live animals, as well. and that's, i think, the thing that will make the real difference for them. get that probe underneath. masked, and with lecturers socially distanced, 150 students are also being taught in small bubbles — with those only from the same university flat sharing the same class. it means we get to form a close bond together, i guess, cos it means that we're always together. which is good because everyone seems nice! after lockdown, being inside for so long, like, being able to get out and just be around the animals is just so amazing. sometimes if you're doing it online, you might forget why you're doing it, and when you actually touch a dog, itjust reminds you, like, why you want to be a vet. you cannot do it online. no. we've tried — we've had some sessions where we've used the dog here — archie.

his owner would demonstrate the task and i'd be narrating the task. but you cannot teach what it feels like without the students feeling it. and that's why we need our students back this early. they've been able to come back because the university's also the first to offer a twice—yearly intake of veterinary students. and it's this april intake which means some summer practicals can be trialled, preparing young vets—to—be — and the university — for the future. what this does is enable us to translate that learning into our bigger reopening plans, come september. and obviously we'll be sharing that experience with other universities, too, so that everyone can learn from the experience of this pioneering group of students. so i think it's a really, really great opportunity for them, but also for us to learn from their experiences. he's calmed down a bit. carolyn moses, bbc east midlans today, sutton bonington. david beckham has been speaking about the "brutal" abuse

he suffered after his infamous red card during the 1998 world cup. the former england captain opened up about his experience at a summit convened by prince william to address mental health problems in the game. andy swiss reports. hi, david, tyrone, steph, carlo... when footballing royalty meets the real thing. i should have put a jacket on for you, david. i forgot. i know, sorry. i'm slightly overdressed! behind the smiles, though, a serious issue. david beckham among the stars chatting with the duke of cambridge about mental health. we managed to get the entire football community to sign up to promoting and showing how important mental health is in football. and it's an issue beckham knows all about. commentator: and a red card for david beckham. after being sent off at the 1998 world cup, he was subjected to often vicious criticism, but he says now it would be even harder. you know, if social media was around when i was going through that time

in 98, it would have been a whole different story. but did i feel at the time it was ok to go to someone and say, "i need help"? um, no. no, because, like i said, it was a different era. the aim now is to end that stigma around mental health in football. marvin sordell retired from the game atjust 28 after suffering depression. my lows led me to a suicide attempt. i'm not going to shy away from that because i think it's important to share that, for people to see where i am now and understand it is possible to get yourself out of that situation. prince william's campaign has now brought a commitment from football to create what's been called a mentally healthy culture. i think having the football community and role models and people like david beckham, who people look up to, feeling comfortable talking about their own mental health,

and showing vulnerability, i think that's a really big step forward. the hope now, then, that one of football's biggest names can help with one of its gravest issues. andy swiss, bbc news. let's return to the quarantine imposed on british travellers returning from spain. lots of you have contacted us with your questions. we can talk to our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz. lets go straight into them, the first question, can i get a refund for my package holiday if we choose not to travel and a lot of people are asking that. yes, it's a big issue and it seems pretty clear you can geta issue and it seems pretty clear you can get a refund if your holiday was in mainland spain, but less clear you will be able to get it if you are going to the canary islands or the balearic islands. that's places like ibiza and majorca. the reason for that, you can actually still go there and holiday companies like tui for instance are still taking their

travellers there. you should be paid the money within two weeks if you are entitled to it. the other allied question is, if it is flight only, if you have just booked a flight, and there as long as the carrier maintains services, which a number of them are, then they don't have to offer you a refund. will i have to ta ke offer you a refund. will i have to take leave for quarantine when returning from spain or will my employer cover the cost? some people might be in the position where they have to consider that. the reason is, if you are quarantining yourself, it is not like self isolating because you or a family member has been showing symptoms of the virus. and you are not entitled to statutory sick pay and your employer is not entitled to claim back what would have been statutory sick pay, so many employers will say, if you are not able to come into work and i need you at work and can't have you working from home, then i might dock your pay. this is a yes or no. what happens if you

live in a house, share with your housemate and they return from spain and they have the quarantine. does the whole house after quarantine? you might be worried about it but you don't have the quarantine. you can go out and do normal things. u nless can go out and do normal things. unless of course you have been on holiday with that person, in which case you face the same quarantine requirement as them. so that is no. do we have to quarantine if we travel back to the uk through france? yes, if it is within 14 days that you have been in spain. france will be viewed as a transit stop and you should say you have been to spain within like the last 14 days and you will have to make up that time. simon gompertz, thank you. time for a look at the weather. here's stav da naos. so farjuly has been unsettled and on the cool side. that's how this week is starting but by mid week we start to see high pressure building and it will turn hot by the end of the week for some of us when we

could see more than 30 celsius in july for the first time in the
