for those dreaming of a holiday getaway this summer, there are still plenty of questions. "should i cancel my holiday to spain and will i get my money back?" the foreign office is advising against all non—essential travel to spain and that now includes the canaries and balearic islands, like majorca and ibiza. so anyone coming back from spain and its islands will have to quarantine and people whose trips have been cancelled are supposed to get a refund within two weeks. tour operator tui has cancelled all of its holidays to mainland spain until the 9th august, while some airlines, including british airways and easyjet, are continuing with their programme of flights to the country. "so what does this mean for my insurance?" travelling against foreign office advice will invalidate your policy. if you were already in spain when the government advice changed,

then you should be covered until you get home. if in doubt, check with your insurers. if you're booking, or thinking of booking a european holiday, which many of us are, there's a lot of pent—up demand, if you're concerned about foreign office advice changing, which it always possible it could, book a package holiday because if you do that, if the advice and changes when you're due to be travelling, then the tour operator will let you go later on in the year when the situation improves, go to another country or have your money back. that's the best way to protect yourself. will i get paid if i have to quarantine? it will depend on individual employees. if you can work from home, then you can get paid as normal but if you can't, then you're not automatically entitled to statutory sick pay of £95.85 a week. there are, though, other options. the other options are possibly an extended period of annual leave, which would be paid. or, alternatively, maybe a mutually agreed period of unpaid leave,

which obviously wouldn't be paid. so it's dependent on what's agreed between both parties. as the virus continues to circulate, changes to policy are inevitable and the government's advice could be altered again with very little notice for holiday—makers. sarah corker, bbc news, in manchester airport. just a few of the travel questions being asked today. that's it. emily is here in ten minutes with newsnight. first, the news where you are. have a good night.

welcome to bbc news. hello to viewers in the uk joining those around the world. it's now time for us to take a first look at the national and international front pages in the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. song of the chief writer of the observer and sebastian pain at the financial times. welcome to you both. quite a few papers already in let's have a flick through some of them. quite a few papers already in let's

have a flick through them. "summer holidays hang in the balance" reads the front page of the daily mail. the uk foreign office is now warning against "all but essential" travel to the balearics and canaries, having already done so for the mainland. this is on top of 14—day quarantine on return. it comes as the downing street tells the public that disruption is possible for any holiday abroad during the pandemic that's on the front page of the i. reports on the front page of the telegraph that quarantine for arrivals into the uk from spain could be cut from 14 days to ten — if they test negative for the virus. but the metro questions the effectiveness of the travel quarantine rules altogether, revealing that only one person has been fined by police in england

and wales for breaching the requirement to self—isolate after arriving from abroad. so, let's begin... paper carries a warning from the who which we brought you orally or that travel bands cannot be indefinite instead the country says the who need to do more to control the virus within their own borders with a strict adherence to measures like wearing a mask. front page of the international addition of the financial times reports that the dollar has fallen to a two year low. amid what the paper describes as deep unease over us economic recovery in the face of the pandemic. similar story in japan, japan times reporting that a new surge in infections hasjolted hopes of the economic recovery in the country. quite a few to get through. sonia, let's start with you. shall we start with the international ft.

europe's late—summer terrorism hopes hit by warnings against travel to spain. this is a story that's dominating a lot of the uk papers. let's approach that let's get into that with what the ft is covering here. so the international ft is gone and with a business angle that's really looked at the impact of the announcement by the government today on prices in the tourism sector. i think it's important to note that spanish tourism is really heavily reliant on british visitors. the uk makes up the bulk of the visit to eight biggest chunk of spanish tourism compared to other countries. so there are real fears that this is going to hit that spanish tourism sector and power. indeed if you have share prices in the ft focuses on two b which is a massive holiday operator they are. share prices going down by i2%. also some of the airlines have seen significant debts. i think there was a real sort of, tension for the government here.

the government really did want to encourage people to stay well. things are starting to get back to normal, they really want to think about boosting the economy including international tourism. and british companies that serve tourism like spain for example. at the same time i think the government must have a lwa ys i think the government must have always known there was a risk it might have to introduce 14 day quarantine. very quickly and change the travel advice. sebastian, there was some suggestion or hope that the balearic secondary islands might be exempted from this. but that was very quickly rejected by the foreign office which came out saying that the same travel advice would apply to them. and the airlines are furious about it as the ft is reporting here. indeed, ithink furious about it as the ft is reporting here. indeed, i think of people there are quite furious about it too. because the whole things happened very quickly and quite a shambolic fashion. no one seems quite clear how why and what think he was behind her. i think my

understanding of the reason is those islands that added to the list was to do with potential loopholes of people going from the balearic islands to and from the mainland spain. and created issues of whether people are getting checked there. i do have some sympathy for the government here because the coronavirus pandemic is moving very quickly. they do have to make decisions at the last minute. but has been quite clear for some time the situation in spain is getting worse. and the quarantine and all the rest of it will be required. you do feel sorry for those travel companies but also the holiday— makers particular people who have safer months on end to go and have safer months on end to go and have a break in europe have now found that they got to come back home. some people being quarantined is fine but those who work at manual jobs face real hardship on the end of this. i underlines how couples international travel is going to be for some time. do you agree with that, sonia? for some time. do you agree with that, sonia 7 about for some time. do you agree with that, sonia? about having to make decisions very quickly for the top of course they didn't make decisions

about mask wearing and other issues like that. there was plenty of advance warning about that. i think there's been a lot of anger in the papers of the last few days about those travellers who got on planes on saturday night and then realised as soon as they landed they were going to have to quarantine when they got home. i think the government has been very aware that one of the big criticisms it's government has been very aware that one of the big criticisms its face does around delays and a lack of decisiveness in the measures that is taken. i'm unsupportive of the idea that during a pandemic like this like sebastian, i think you do have to ta ke like sebastian, i think you do have to take measures quite quickly for that where i think the government has gone wrong i don't think it's to the british population like adults. i don't think it was upfront and enough with the british public that if your booking holidays you do so at your own risk. and there may be a change in circumstances. you may have to quarantine for 14 days when you come back. it is incredibly difficult for people if they've got jobs or they can't work from home.

under incredible financial strain. i just think that the government is so keen to get the economy back on track that it didn't level with the british public about the level of risk involved. that takes us onto the eye, the risk to foreign travel number ten ones. the transport secretary himself was caught up in this. and others as well. i think michael gove wasn't planning a trip to be that which is now got to cancel. what about the rows between number ten and the public transport. i think the fact is the government does want to get people travelling he does want to help the european economies and people in the uk going to europe and vice a versa to come back to the uk. in the uk tourism industry really needs all the help i can get during this period. on the other hand, downing street is aware it isa other hand, downing street is aware it is a volatile situation. i think this line that the kmart today which is on several of the front pages that all travel is risky is true. i

think a lot of the people who are booking holidays abroad are booking knowing that is the case. no one thinks it is a risk—free endeavour there. i think the friction you've got within government is number ten trying to encourage people saying it's all business as usual, you can go abroad, go to pubs, restaurants and shops, get the economy moving again in the public transport on the other side who are saved will actually we need to add these quarantine to move quickly and travellers are been restricted. that tension isjust travellers are been restricted. that tension is just part travellers are been restricted. that tension isjust part of the fact that it tension isjust part of the fact thatitis tension isjust part of the fact that it is a pandemic and you got these two forces of the economy versus these two forces of the economy versus the health concerns that i can keep pushing and pulling against each other. you can't teach too much chocolate or cheese. will come to that in a minute. sonia, let's look at the gulf news. they have led with that. the comments by the who today. the who pointing out that this is not a long—term solution to keep on shutting borders. as sebastian was saying, the economic imperative is

so vital. already we are seeing so manyjob so vital. already we are seeing so many job losses internationally, aren't we? yes. i think the point the who is trying to make is that closing borders isn't the primary way that countries can be added to pandemic. because you're always going to have countries at different stages of the virus. the fact is, if you got countries with very high infection rates elsewhere are you are going to need to close the borderfrom are going to need to close the border from people are going to need to close the borderfrom people coming are going to need to close the border from people coming from those countries with high infection rates. the point here is that actually, there are measures that countries can take to stop those high infection rates, high spreading in the first place. so the emphasis should be on border closure as a primary way of managing. it should be mask wearing, social distancing, it should be on tracking and tracing. and that's really what the government may be sort of, introduces quarantine in hopes that it makes it look very decisive. but there are to be a lot more scrutiny

on what's happening domestically because it is domestic measures that will really have the most impact. in doing all that we can do to prevent a second wave here in the uk. yes different countries doing much better on the testing on the eight in the tech track and tracing. even they who are potentially good at it in the initial stages of the pandemic of falling foul of events now as well. indeed, the only countries that are doing well on test track and trace are the asian countries that encountered the sars epidemic well over 15 years ago. they built up those systems and have that resilience within that public services to make sure that the contacts are followed successfully for top if you look at other european countries germany has often cited as somewhere that's doing much better than the uk. they've still struggled with test track and trace. rememberthe app? matt struggled with test track and trace. remember the app? matt hancock set a couple of months ago and by the summer we would all have this app on her phone that will be tracking and alerting if you've come into close

contact with someone who's tested positive for covid—19. our app is gone completely out the window and we have no idea when it's going to come. might be the end of the year may be the end of the pandemic. or maybe never at all. at 11 and a half million pounds. if i may, let's move on to metro because we've got a few to get through. even those people who are in quarantine, where is the threat to them that they are going to be penalised with these large fines if they break it? according to the metro the figures are strong, are they. this, hasn't been a lot of thought put into how quarantine policy, people coming back from countries, if they may need to quarantine how it will be enforced. maybe fine people for 14 quarantine againi maybe fine people for 14 quarantine again i think this gets to the real issue at the heart of the pandemic which is it's kind of impossible to employees every aspect of the

lockdown. in the government has to rely on the majority of people complain. because they feel it's the right thing to do not because there are scared of a fine or they are scared the police are going to come knocking. and actually if you look at the lockdown, people were pretty compliant with it. they were obviously instances where people we re obviously instances where people were breaking the laws of the rules and that in general, people were compliant and that came from a place of wanting to do the right thing. not being scared of fines. do you agree with that sebastian? quoting the immigration society saying we do virtually no enforcement. if there is no enforcement to we know who's breaking and who's not? it does raise big questions about what is going on with quarantine. i think when this came in the government suggested it would be quite light touch and it would be based on the goodwill of people to do this and observe it. in the police were
