the government admits different quarantine rules across the home nations are causing confusing, leading to frustration for thousands of people. there's anger as scotland and wales impose new restrictions on some countries, but there's no change for england for england and wales. it would be good if governments could all get together, you know, if the devolved governments in the uk could get together and come up with one set of policies. all this as the coronavirus pandemic forces more than a thousand newjob cuts, at virgin atlantic. also on the programme... people in leeds are being warned they are on a watch list of coronavirus hotspots and new restrictions could come in. justice at last for a woman filmed

naked without her consent. a man gets a 30—month community order, but the ordeal made her try to take her own life. we clarified that it is illegal to video someone naked without their consent. the people of leeds are warned coronavirus infections are rising — and the world famous conductor, the orchestra, and a big appealfor cash. and coming up on bbc news... the hottest property in world football isn't going anywhere. lionel messi confirms he's staying at barcelona. reaction to that on the way. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the prime minister says the uk is, for the most part, "proceeding as one" on implementing coronavirus travel restrictions, despite the home nations now disagreeing on quarantine rules

for those coming to the uk from certain countries. from today, there are different regulations for people returning from portugal and greece depending on whether their final destination is scotland or wales, england and northern ireland. the transport secretary grant shapps says he admits the varying approach is confusing. our europe correspondent gavin lee reports now from southern portugal. back to britain from faro airport this morning. where you're going back to now dictates whether you have to self—isolate. there's been no clarity from the government as to what we were doing. karen and mick are heading to birmingham. they don't need to quarantine, but they bought early tickets home because they thought they did. obviously not very happy. we feel as though we've lost two days of our holiday. it's cost us an arm and a leg. we're very disappointed. as more and more british tourists return home, it's clear to me how confusing many

people find the new rules. for example, if you're an english traveller flying to cardiff today, you can then drive back, won't have to self—isolate. but if you're welsh and say you land at birmingham today, you'll then go back and have to spend the next two weeks in isolation. and this new way of travelling has just become even more complicated. so just how do the uk nations differ on quarantine? if you live in scotland and are returning from portugal, from 4am tomorrow you have to self—isolate for m days. the same applies if you're coming from anywhere in greece. if you're arriving back in wales from portugal, self—isolation starts today, but the welsh government only requires you to quarantine if you're coming from specific greek islands. in england and northern ireland, there are no quarantine restrictions. portugal has seen a rise in coronavirus cases in recent days, going just above the uk's margin of safety of 20 cases per 100,000 people, but the tourist destinations of the algarve aren't the problem. so why are politicians taking such

different approaches? we look at the data and then we do speak, but i'm afraid quite often, coming to slightly different outcomes. hugs and relief at glasgow airport this afternoon as travellers made it back before their isolation deadline. but few are smiling about the decision here. we had to change our flight. we're just disappointed that scotland obviously had to go into quarantine, but england don't. so it seems ridiculous. people are all going to fly into england now and drive up the road, know what i mean? it was a risk. we knew that we were making a risk anyway, so we only lost a day. it is annoying but i'm just glad we made it home in time. it's estimated that more than 30,000 uk holiday—makers have headed out here since the travel corridor opened two weeks ago. golf and good weather, a magnet for older travellers, the so—called silver season. but today there have been notably fewer arrivals than usual. the financial and logistical challenge of taking an unpredictable

break here is perhaps too much of a gamble. portuguese hotel operators tell us they have cancelled 4000 hotel rooms this week because of travel and certainty of a stop one portuguese official messaged me to say she was frankly flummoxed that one part of britain declares this area a and others say it is safe. no other european country has put a blanket quarantine on the country for country for return for stop it matters because british tourists are the backbone of the economy will stop there are more from the uk than any other country so their absence hits hard here. studio: gavin lee in the algarve, thank you. virgin atlantic is to cut another 1,150 jobs, despite completing a £1.2 billion rescue deal. the cuts come just four months after the airline slashed

more than 3,000 wokers. our correspondent sarah corker is at manchester airport for us this evening. sarah. this is the latest round ofjob cuts at virgin atlantic will stop it was in may they announced it would cut its base at gatwick and today the news that another 1150 roles will be cut across the business. that means that since the pandemic began, the company's that since the pandemic began, the com pa ny‘s workforce that since the pandemic began, the compa ny‘s workforce has that since the pandemic began, the company's workforce has halved in size. at the core of this business is transatlantic flying. but travel of course between britain and america has been curtailed and the airline said it had to cut costs in order to survive this crisis. that £1.2 billion rescue deal has ensured its future for the next 18 months and as part of that, creditors have agreed a 20% cut. but global travel restrictions and continuing changes to quarantine rules have hit the

aviation sector hard and many airlines, airports and tour operators are now restructuring to face this new reality, fewer planes in the sky and passenger demand isn't expected to return to pre—virus levels until the end of 2023. sarah corker reporting for us, thank you. people in leeds are being warned they're now on a watchlist of coronavirus hotspots, after a rise in the number of cases in the city. almost half a million people could face new restrictions and the local council says the community has reached a "pivotal moment". other places like luton, however, have improved rates of infection with local action plans. our health editor hugh pym has the details. another city and another new challenge in the bid to control the virus. this time leeds is facing up to an increase in cases and local council and health leaders are considering new restrictions. it's premature to talk about lockdowns at this stage, but clearly if it's felt that there does need to be

restrictions of movement, for example, then that's something of course that we will have to put in place. local people we spoke to agreed there was a need for caution. i know if it was my grandparents that were at risk, i'd want us to go into another lockdown to save them. limiting when we go out, to only go out when we really have to, you've just got to... well, yeah, like i said, you've just got to be responsible and just not be stupid, really. but elsewhere there are more encouraging signs. in luton, extra restrictions were imposed after a rise in case numbers, but they were relaxed last month after action by the local council. this included intensive testing of people without symptoms to locate problem areas. we have seen a lot of asymptomatic spread, so a lot of people who don't have symptoms have been tested positive, and that's helped us track those outbreaks and work out how we can try and stop them before they become a wider cluster. but she told me that recent testing

capacity problems had affected their efforts. we are asking, just for the next week or so, for people only with symptoms to be tested in luton to make sure we have enough capacity. it is proving to be a challenge for us, as it is for other areas. there is a sense here in luton that things are moving in the right direction with tackling the virus, but civic leaders know that could change and they don't want local people to drop their guard on safety and social distancing. some i talked to don't want further easing. i think we are all aware about the measures they are taking to boost the economy. it's the point at which, should there be a higherfocus on public health before the economy? a lot of people are just feeling like it's all gone back to normal now as well. so not many people are actually using the social distancing that we are supposed to be doing. schools are going back, more people are travelling to workplaces, and winter is getting closer. every community knows they must tread carefully if the virus is to be restrained. hugh pym, bbc news.

the latest government figures show there were 1,940 new confirmed coronavirus cases reported across the uk in the latest 24—hour period. that means the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week was 1,530. ten deaths were also reported of people who'd died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. that means, on average in the past week, seven deaths were announced every day, taking the total number across the uk to 41,537. a woman has won a landmark legal battle after a five—year campaign to bring to justice a man who'd filmed her naked while she was sleeping, without her consent. in 2015, emily hunt went out for lunch with her family, but the next thing she remembers is waking up naked next to a man she'd never met before. the crown prosecution service had

refused to prosecute christopher killick on six occasions, saying, because they were in a room together, there was implied consent. but, earlier this year, he finally admitted the crime of voyeurism, and today was given a 30—month community order. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan has been speaking to emily about her ordeal. a warning that his report begins with details that some might find distressing. the impact of being abused by a man that emily hunt had never met was compounded by the failure of prosecutors to charge him with any crime. my attacker belonged in a courtroom five years ago. the fact that it has taken this long, with this much fight and this much help from the british public, is completely unacceptable. it was back in 2015 that emily hunt woke up in this hotel, not knowing how she got here. she believes that someone drugged her. what's not in doubt is that a man was also in her bedroom and filmed a 62 second video of her naked and asleep for his own

sexual gratification. today, christopher killick was placed on the sex offenders' register for five years and given a two and a half year community order for taking the video. it took the crown prosecution service five years to charge him, telling emily on six separate occasions that he hadn't committed a crime and she had no right to privacy in a hotel bedroom. the cps has behaved in what can only be called an appalling manner. clearly, somebody made a decision early on that i was not worthy or a righteous victim and they have spent the last five years insisting that that's true. the mother of one was forced to waive her right to anonymity and crowdfund a judicial review of the cps‘ refusal to act. injanuary, the court of appeal clarified the law, that taking an intimate video without consent was illegal. i hope that, for other victims of voyeurism, they will now feel able to come forward to the police if they are illicitly filmed,

whether by a partner, by a stranger, by anyone they meet in an intimate context and know that the police and the crown prosecution service will take their complaint forward. the crown prosecution service said they recognised the delays in pursuing the case had a lasting impact on emily hunt, but that such digital sex crimes were a complex area of law. there are at least two cases where somebody was taking this seriously from the beginning and treating a victim like a victim because of what i did, and that's the win. this isn't about vengeance, it's aboutjustice and making sure that people have access to justice without having to fight for it. michael buchanan, bbc news, east london. borisjohnson insists the high speed rail link, hs2, is "crucial" for the country, as he marked the official start of construction on the tracks for the project, costing more than £100 billion. the first phase would see a 140—mile line running from euston, in london, to a new station at curzon street in birmingham. trains will carry more

than 1,000 passengers, and reach speeds of up to 250 miles an hour. the second phase would then run services north from birmingham to manchester and leeds. borisjohnson says 22,000 newjobs will be created, but critics warn more jobs will be lost and the harm to the environment will be catastrophic. our business correspondent, katy austin the details. the diggers are digging, construction is now officially under way after years of preparatory work. this site near solihull will become hs2's this site near solihull will become hs2‘s interchange station, part of a major transport hub for the west midlands. we only have four or five members of staff in. the boss at this accountancy firm a few miles away believes it will bring huge benefits. we will see greater investment from overseas into this region. as a result of that greater investment we will see more business is growing in this region. as a result of that, there is more business out there for us to grow oui’ business out there for us to grow our business and provide support to

them. hs2 is currently europe's largest infrastructure project and building it will be a mammoth task. the first phase alone between london and birmingham is due to cost at least £35 billion. it is due to open by 2031. it will require 32 miles of new tunnels and 150 bridges. 1 million tonnes of steel will be needed. 0pponents have long criticised the scheme for delays and spiralling costs. one independent estimate says the full project could cost more than £100 billion. the ra i lwa ys cost more than £100 billion. the railways going to come through here, very up. sheila lives near a village and is one of those who has long opposed it for environmental reasons, such as the destruction of ancient woodland. i won't give up the fight. i do feel deeply depressed but i intend to continue trying to get mitigation for all the disastrous effects of it. hs2's supporters say it will help with capacity on the rail network, boost connectivity and create jobs.

capacity on the rail network, boost connectivity and createjobs. the pandemic has now changed the world of work with a move towards more home—working, so it is a high—speed rail line still needed? 0n home—working, so it is a high—speed rail line still needed? on a visit to the solihull construction site today, the prime minister said it was. i've got absolutely no doubt that mass transit, transport infrastructure, is going to be crucial for our country, notjust 110w crucial for our country, notjust now but in the decades ahead. and this incredible project is going to be delivering 22,000 jobs. campaigners against hs to say it will displace almost as manyjobs as you say it will create so are they right? we don't recognise that statement at all. this is about creating jobs in the sector and all the support sectors for something of this scale. the project remains controversial. campaigners from stop hs2 and extinction rebellion protested in london today. but also would today a reminder it is happening with a renewed vote of confidence from the prime minister.
