scrap with everyone rather than he died in a london hospital negotiating a deal? tony abbott was in 2006, after his assassins slipped radioactive polonium into his tea. nonetheless prime minister of australia. as prime minister he today, his widow says russia cannot signed trade deals with south korea, china wouldn't that capacity help be trusted with an investigation. britain access asian, australian unfortunately, russia is not markets? well it is interesting a democratic country right now. because andrew raab is the trade it's a lot of signs minister that negotiated those of dictatorship regime. deals. as well as others. tony came in doing business with a dictatorship regime you have a different approach. in and was there for the signing and the press conference. i think that across the board the political spectrum in australia and in and everything what you try to do britain, people are baffled by it. as you did before, you can't say now you've got all these issues are is business as usual. going to come up. for instance, the all this throws an uncomfortable motor industry in britain, my advice spotlight on president putin to the motor industry, my advice to and the kremlin leadership. the motor like motor industry union but mr navalny, who campaigned against corruption had many says have a look at this guys track powerful enemies in russia. record back when he was prime despite the global outrage, it is possible we may never learn the truth of who poisoned him. minister. went the entire car industry basically closed down because of his actions in terms of

7:08 pm
are doing. karen and nick are heading to birmingham they don't this building could come down not need to quarantine but they bought early tickets on because they thought they did. obviously, not only for the rescuers but the people who may or may not be under the very happy. we feel as though we've rubble below. they have literally lost two days of our holiday. it's been moving brick by brick, brushing off the dust, they had a crane cost us an arm and lost two days of our holiday. it's cost us an arm and a lost two days of our holiday. it's earlier that was pulling up most of cost us an arm and a leg. we are the biggest pieces to relieve the just very disappointed. as more and pressure, but it is very volatile more british tourists return home and in fact, about half 11 last it's clear how many people find the night local time, the army actually try to collect the search saying new rules confusing full—time if that it was too dangerous and you're an english traveller flying volu nteers that it was too dangerous and volunteers stepped in to provide a to cardiff today you can then drive back won't have to self—isolate, but crane so volunteers stepped in to provide a crane so that this process could if you're welsh and state land in continue, but it has really been quite a birmingham today you'll then go back continue, but it has really been quitea hairy continue, but it has really been quite a hairy experience for these and have to spend the next two weeks rescue workers who are desperate, in isolation. this new way of desperate to find out if there travelling has just become even more someone desperate to find out if there someone in the rubble and whether or complicated. so just how do the uk not they can get them out. this is a nations differ on quarantine? if you very experienced rescue team, what are they saying about the likelihood live in scotland and are returning from portugal from 4am tomorrow you of someone being able to survive an have to say sounds light for 14 entire month under rubble? when i days. the same applies if you're coming from anywhere increase. if first heard it was a whole month, i you are arriving back in wales from didn't believe it could possibly
7:09 pm
happen, but when i spoke to the portugal south isolation start today but the welsh government only team, they said that in terms of a requires you to quarantine if you're previous rescue that they've done coming from specific greek islands. the longest been underneath the in england and northern ireland rubble is 28 days and they're working in haiti, so it is possible there are no quarantine restrictions. portugal has seen a although we are beyond 28 days, we rise in coronavirus cases in recent area days going just about the uk's although we are beyond 28 days, we are a month and it is extremely hot margin of safety of 20 cases per here in beirut, punishing the hot, very humid, it is hard to see how 100,000 people. but the tourist anyone could survive these destinations aren't the problem. so temperatures without food or water why are politicians taking such trapped underground, but there is a different approaches? we look at the very slim chance, they talked about a1% very slim chance, they talked about a 1% chance that someone could make data and then we do speak but i'm it and that is enough to keep going, afraid, quite often coming to to keep digging, no matter the slightly different outcome. hugs and danger, tojust to keep digging, no matter the danger, to just double check and get relief at glasgow asked lee airport people out of this. after the this afternoon as travellers made a pa ct before this afternoon as travellers made a pact before the isolation deadline. but few are smiling about the explosion, beirut is more like more decision here. we had to change a flight. decision here. we had to change a flight. we were disappointed that widely one month from that blast? scotland had to quarantine but england don't. it seems ridiculous the two emotions that people are with the people are can fly into feeling to one of despair and anger. england and then drive up the road, you know to be in? it was a risk we and why the authority knew about
7:10 pm
are making a risk anyway. we only this stockpile and this materials lost a day. it is annoying but i'm and why they did not move those just glad we made it home in time. it's estimated that more than 30,000 explosive materials by this blast uk holiday—makers have headed out happened. there's also confusion on here since the travel corridor corridor open two weeks ago. golf reconstruction efforts and a lot of the reconstruction efforts are done and good weather, a magnet for all by volu nteers the reconstruction efforts are done by volunteers coming down, no one the travellers for snowfall x0 knows the issues of compensation, called silver season. but today there have been notably fewer there've been initiatives of people arrivals than usual. the financial assessing the damage, the armies and logistical challenge of taking turning the people's home figuring and logistical challenge of taking out how much glasses been smashed and predictable break here is perhaps too much of a gamble. and no one knows they'll get any money back for the damage done to their homes and businesses. the portuguese tourism operators have told us that they've cancelled for independence middle east correspondent was talking to me, thousand hotel rooms this week from saying that there's about 20 minutes british holiday—makers who had more left on that search in the booked for autumn holidays because of the uncertainty in this afternoon rescu e i’s more left on that search in the rescuers are just keeping that glimmer of hope alive that sensors one portuguese government official of picked up the heartbeat of a has messaged me to say she is person under the rubble incredibly flummoxed that parts of britain declared this country a no go and one month to the day after that other parts that say it say. and explosion, but no heart be detected that there is no other european in the last few hours, so it is a country who had put a blanket very faint hope that they are quarantine on country for return. it continuing and giving an update in matters because british tourists are
7:11 pm
the backbone of the economy. there about half an hour they said after are more from the uk than any other they stopped for the night. country. so their absence it's hard here. heavenly there. —— gavin lee. a woman has won a landmark —— gavin lee. legal battle in the uk, let's hear about how the quarantine rules are going down in portugal. after a 5 year campaign to bring to justice a man who'd filmed her cristovao norte is a member of the portuguese parliament, naked while she was sleeping, a representative of the algarve — without her consent. that's a region heavily in 2015, emily hunt went out dependent on tourism. for lunch with her family, hejoins us now. but the next thing she remembers, is waking up naked, next to a man how difficult it is all there is she'd never met before. the crown prosecution service had uncertainty for you ? refused to prosecute christopher killick on six how difficult it is all there is uncertainty for you? hello. it's not occasions, saying because they easy because we are the secretary were in a room together, there was implied consent. but earlier this year, he finally admitted the crime yesterday saying that a public of voyeurism, and today was given announcement would be made today. a 30—month community order. but later on we were from transport 0ur social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, has been speaking to emily, secretary that no changes were made. about her ordeal and a warning his film starts with some details some then we heard by the scottish and viewers may find distressing. the impact of being abused by a man then from the wales government and that emily hunt had never met that makes very uncertain. and the was compounded by the failure of prosecutors to charge him with any crime. certainty makes reservations my attacker belonged decrease. and it makes people very in a courtroom five years ago.
7:12 pm
the fact that it has taken this long, with this much fight and this anxious. tourism from the uk is the much help from the british public, is completely unacceptable. it was back in 2015 that emily hunt backbone of our economy. mainly in woke up in this hotel, the algar of which is a region it not knowing how she got here. depends upon tourism, 40% of all she believes that someone drugged her. what's not in doubt is that a man revenue depend upon the uk market. was also in her bedroom and filmed a 62 second video of her naked and asleep for his own and so we heard the news yesterday sexual gratification. with mixed feelings. by one side we today, christopher killick thought it was very good because was placed on the sex offenders' register for five years and given england stayed open. 0n the other a two and a half year community order for taking the video. side our reputation, it's not well it took the crown prosecution because scotland and wales took service five years to charge him, different approaches to the same telling emily on six separate occasions that he hadn't committed problem. right, so even though a crime and she had no right quarantine rules have not been to privacy in a hotel bedroom. brought in for england, that still the cps has behaved in what can only has an effect on peoples behaviour when they are thinking about perhaps be called an appalling manner. clearly, somebody made a decision coming to portugal? yes, of course. early on that i was not worthy but i would like to stress how or a righteous victim and they have spent the last five years insisting that that's true. portugal is safe and the algarve is
7:13 pm
even safer. even though we had the rise in cases we have a very small the mother of one was forced to waive her right to anonymity and crowdfund a judicial review number of that. very good response of the cps' refusal to act. by our national health service. very injanuary, the court of appeal clarified the law, few people in intensive care. people that taking an intimate video complying with rules set by the without consent was illegal. authorities. almost no cases in the i hope that, for other coastal area. the hotels, victims of voyeurism, they will now feel able to come restau ra nts, coastal area. the hotels, restaurants, all the facilities are forward to the police if they are illicitly filmed, fully equipped for that people have whether by a partner, made a massive effort to put all in by a stranger, by anyone they meet place and keep people safe. i can in an intimate context and know that the police say and people from the uk can say 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 that they can enjoy the sea, the impact on emily hunt, but that such digital sex crimes brilliant weather, the food, all the were a complex area of law. lovely landscape. part of me for there are at least two cases where somebody was taking this selling algol for import to go. but seriously from the beginning it is amazing here. just how and treating a victim like a victim because of what i did, difficult has a summer been? what and that's the win. has this summer been like and do you this isn't about vengeance, think that the algar can recover it's aboutjustice and making sure that people have access economically from the impact of this to justice without having to fight for it. pandemic? it has been very
7:14 pm
difficult. two thirds of the economy of the algar of depends upon tourism. and 40% of our revenue stay with us on bbc depends upon the british market. so if you add that you didn't have news, still to come: british air until the 20th of august 0ne most famous conductors in the you have the green light of the roads says the future of music is at corridor. two weeks ago people start sta ke roads says the future of music is at stake and appeals for cash. coming to hear large numbers, a good flow of reservations were very high. and we are expecting that the months of september, october, even november freight and haulage firms would compensate us and give some are warning of a looming crisis in uk border plans when the brexit transition period ends relief to safeguard jobs. we need to on the 31st of december. the road haulage association says the the supply chain of goods could become ‘a disaster area do some money now because we know with rocket boosters on.‘ the firms want to meet ministers to discuss that only in the next season and concerns about it systems, border infrastructure after april it will be possible for us after april it will be possible for us to have the new season. so in the and the training of customs agents.
7:15 pm
year like we had witnessed this there saying that they are in months are major, major challenges shambles and that ministers are sleepwalking to disaster, what is that we hope we can have the travel causing these criticisms, deal or no corridor open. because that is a deal of brussels, we would major boost. crucial to our economy. definitely be leaving the customs union on the 31st and that will have consequences. so, for example, 220 thank you very much for talking to us. million decorations meant to be thank you very much for talking to filled in and the logistics us. thank you for having me, come to companies are saying that we have to portugal. have customs agents help with all people in leeds are being warned this new bureaucracy but there are they're now on a watchlist not enough of them and they are also of coronavirus hotspots, worried that britain would not be after a rise in the number of cases in the city. ready in other ways, that it systems almost half a million people will be up and running on time. the could face new restrictions and the local council says the community has reached number of border staff that will be a "pivotal moment". in place and border infrastructure. other places like luton however, have improved rates of infection after implimenting so, pretty right ranging criticisms local action plans. our health editor hugh in response the government says, we pym, has the details are investing in infrastructure and we are trying to train up these another city and another customs agents that might be able to new challenge in the bid to control the virus. help with our bureaucracy. and also
7:16 pm
this time leeds is facing up suggesting that perhaps some of the criticisms may turn out to be to an increase in cases and local overblown. for example, the transport secretary said that he is council and health leaders suggesting that he dealt with all are considering new restrictions. sorts of cataclysmic scenario so far it's premature to talk about lockdowns at this stage, and supply chains were under severe but clearly if it's felt that there does need to be pressure for the past six months restrictions of movement, because of covid—19 and also the for example, then that's something of course that we will change put food in supermarket have to put in place. shelves get parts to factories and they've all held up and they're local people we spoke to agreed confident that once we get the there was a need for caution. i know if it was my grandparents transition period at the end of this that were at risk, i'd want us to go year, that the supply chains will remain secure. 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 the latest headlines. 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. controversial former australian prime minister tony abbott this included intensive testing is appointed as a trade adviser to the uk. of people without symptoms critics say he is a homophobe and misoygynist and to locate problem areas. climate change denier quarantine confusion as scotand and wales impose new restrictions, we have seen a lot of asymptomatic while there's no change in england and northern ireland
7:17 pm
spread, so a lot of people who don't people in leeds are being warned to follow have symptoms have been tested coronavirus guidelines — positive, and that's helped us track or face new restrictions. 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 after a lot of bad feeling, lionel messi has decided affected their efforts. to stay at barcelona. he intially said he wanted to leave we are asking, just for the next week or so, for people only after barca were thrashed in the champions league by bayern with symptoms to be tested in luton munich. but despite staying for another to make sure we have year, messi has lashed out enough capacity. at the club's management, accusing them of ‘covering it is proving to be a challenge up holes'. for us, as it is for other areas. there is a sense here in luton that martin lipton is deputy head of sport at the sun newspaper. he says the situation isn't good things are moving in the right direction with tackling the virus, for either club or player. but civic leaders know that could change and they don't want it still seems like a u turn. you local people to drop their guard on safety and social distancing. have a failing filled marriage with some i talked to don't want further easing. both parties now worried about the i think we are all aware about the measures they are taking cost of the clean—up and therefore to boost the economy. being able to split and it doesn't it's the point at which, should there be a higher focus help or benefit anybody, i think, on public health before the economy? a lot of people are just feeling neither barcelona or the other like it's all gone back to normal now as well. so not many people are actually potential suitors in manchester using the social distancing
