good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and mega munchetty. our headlines today... a furious backlash from the travel industry as the government axes portugal from the green list in a bitter blow for holidaymakers. it's just going to put people off travel and that is very damaging for the travel industry. we just literally missed the cut—off to change our flight. we had to do it within two hours, so we can't even get the money back. so is our big summer getaway cancelled, orjust delayed? i'll get reaction from the bosses of easyjet and ryanair and ask, what happens if you've already booked your trip?

crowds of up to 10,000 will be allowed at organised outdoor events in wales from monday, in the latest easing of covid restrictions. bad news for england fans just a week away from the european championships. defender trent alexander—arnold is ruled out of the tournament after injuring his thigh in england's friendly against austria. honouring the british heroes of d—day — the final preparations are made to a new normandy memorial ahead of its opening this weekend. and we are on the cusp of the fine weather weekend with some warm sunny spells. that is after some rain today in south—east england. i have your friday and weekend forecast on the way. it's friday, the 4th ofjune. portugal has questioned the uk's decision to remove it from the travel green list from next tuesday, saying it could not understand the logic of the move.

travel companies have said the announcement was a "devastating blow" for the industry. uk holidaymakers already in portugal will now have to quarantine for ten days if they return home after the new rules come into affect. our business correspondent katy austin reports. since the 17th of may, trips to portugal have had the green light with no quarantine when you get back. but from tuesday, that will change. well, it'sjust going to put people off travel. and that's, you know, very damaging for the travel industry. either we believe in the vaccines or we don't. we just literally missed the cut off to change our flight. we had to do it within two hours so we can't even get the money back, anyway. no new countries were added to the existing green list yesterday. portugal left that category and became amber, with the requirement to self—isolate at home for ten days upon return. it's not illegal to travel to these places, but the government has told people not to go to them on holiday.

seven more countries were added to the highest risk red list. that means returning uk residents must pay to quarantine in an approved hotel. the government said designating portugal as amber was necessary to avoid bringing variants of concern into the uk. the portuguese foreign ministry said on twitter, they noted the decision but could not understand the logic. ban international travel completely, or, you know, just communicate properly with people. it's just... it's silly. you have to have a system where it's either open or it's closed. there's families bringing out kids and there's people booked holidays for a long time. if it's closed, close it. it's very frustrating - because we, well, we came here because we were like, . portugal, green list, it's fine. so, yeah, it's going to impact -

on work and stuff when i get back. airlines and holiday companies desperate for some trade after the crippling effect of more than a year of covid travel restrictions expressed bitter disappointment. last summer, we hit an all—time low and passenger numbers only got to about 25% of normal for a summer season. unfortunately, we are now expecting this year to be worse. and, you know, there's more than 1,500,000 jobs which rely on aviation in the uk, and i'm afraid this makes it a really difficult. businesses simply cannot survive when they have no revenue. the transport secretary said a cautious approach must be taken but travel businesses are frustrated and many holiday—makers face a sudden change of plan. this has been rebooked seven times. we did a lot of looking into whether it was safe to travel. and if we would have to quarantine on return. we are looking potentially at trying to fly back slightly earlier. there doesn't appear to be that many flights unfortunately.

the next review of the traffic light system is expected in three weeks' time. katy austin, bbc news. our correspondent james reynolds is at gatwick airport for us this morning. morning. there is a conundrum for tourists. if they had portugal in sites and tickets booked stop it also means that they had tickets booked and they still want to leave this morning, they had to get back by monday evening before the quarantine period set in. i can see some streams _ quarantine period set in. i can see some streams of _ quarantine period set in. i can see some streams of people _ quarantine period set in. i can see some streams of people heading i quarantine period set in. i can see i some streams of people heading off. a lot of flights this morning after greece and multiple that those people already knew the countries around the amber list, they would have to sit at home on return and take tests. people going to portugal did not necessarily know that. a couple of flights are scheduled for portugal later on. even madeira is

on that list. the greenest has reduced. most of the countries and territories still do not want visitors stop —— the green list. you can go to the transatlantic islands but not from gatwick. essentially gibraltar might now be the only easy place to get to without having to quarantine on the way back. we can discuss this with government minister robertjenrick at 7:30am today. the variant of coronavirus that was first identified in india is now the dominant strain in the uk, according to public health england. scientists say there are signs the variant — now known as delta — may increase the risk of hospitalisation, but more data is needed to have more confidence in the findings. sean dilley reports. it's unwelcome news for a country trying to fight its way out of lockdown restrictions. but scientists say that while more evidence is needed,

the indian origin or delta variant may be linked to higher risks of hospital admissions, and it is now the country's most dominant variant. the latest figures show that over 5000 coronavirus cases were reported in the uk yesterday, the highest daily figure since march. public health england said there were nearly 12,500 cases of the delta or indian variant reported in the last week. but hospital admissions still remain low. in the last week, 94 people were admitted after attending a&e with the delta variant. the majority had not been vaccinated. just wondered if you would like to take some test kit. in lancashire, blackburn with darwen has the highest rate in england for all coronavirus cases. i think we have more people 16 plus who are affected by this variant than anybody else. and i think i look at the figures in hospital, there were 26 people yesterday in hospital from all of east lancashire, and i think they are only 1% 65. cases are still relatively localised

but the government will be watching closely to see if it spreads to other parts of the country as it considers ending restrictions in england later this month. at the moment it's looking good forjune 21st but we are going to continue to make that assessment in the coming days and up to the 14th ofjune, when a decision will be made. new data suggests that people who have had the pfizer biontech vaccine have lower antibody levels targeting the indian variant than those against previous variants in the uk. research from the francis crick institute and the national institute for health research say this provides additional evidence in support of plans to deliver a vaccination boost to vulnerable people in the autumn. in the meantime, government health advisers say the best way to protect against any variant is to reduce the spread of the virus as a whole. sean dilley, bbc news. up to 10,000 people will be allowed at outdoor events — including concerts and sports

matches — from monday in wales as lockdown restrictions are further relaxed. groups of 30 people will also be allowed to meet outdoors, including in private gardens. however, the welsh government said there was "growing concern" about the spread of the variant that was first identified in india. more than 200 migrants were rescued while attempting to cross the english channel yesterday — that's according to officialfigures. eight boats were intercepted by border force officials on thursday — a spokesperson for the home office said smugglers were "putting profits before people's lives through dangerous and unnecessary crossings". more than 3,500 people have been prevented from making the journey so far this year. the american airline, united, is planning to bring back supersonic passenger travel for the first time since concorde was taken out of service in 2003. the airline says it will buy 15 aircraft with the aim to start passenger flights in 2029. the developers say the planes will be capable of flying at more

than 1000—miles—per—hour, and could cut the flight time from london to new york in half. people of a certain age will remember concorde, obviously before it was decommissioned. even just walking on concorde, it felt special. i never leave stop i never blew. i watched the final flypast on the day they did the final flypast over london. 0ne the day they did the final flypast over london. one of those extraordinary sites. the noise it made. just the 00nn, the sonic boom. the logic was it would not make sense, not make commercial sense. now the weather with nick. it feels like i am clinging on to

the sunshine. i have loved it so far. ., , ., , ., far. good morning. temperatures are sliuhtl far. good morning. temperatures are slightly lower- _ far. good morning. temperatures are slightly lower. through _ far. good morning. temperatures are slightly lower. through the _ far. good morning. temperatures are slightly lower. through the weekend | slightly lower. through the weekend perhaps a little bit above average for the time of year. it will feel warm in the sunny spells. plenty of dry weather around. you have to get through the day first. some rain first. pushing on across east anglia towards lincolnshire. part of the east midlands may see some of that as well. the further east you are, the chances of a heavy burst. cloud in northern ireland and the west of scotland. not everyone will catch them. an afternoon shower, isolated, cannot be out in and devon. into tonight? breaks of rain across eastern parts of england. still the chance of catching a shower in northern ireland and western scotland. with the cloud,

temperatures holed up into double figures. mid to low single figures in the coolest of spots. a few showers in the channel islands and north—west of scotland tomorrow. almost, a fine day with sunny spells were quite pleasantly get to see the sunshine. —— and quite pleasant where you get to see the sunshine. over the past few years here on breakfast, we've been following the progress of the british normandy memorial — being built overlooking what was once known as gold beach. this weekend, the memorial will open, to mark the 77th anniversary of the d—day landings. it honours more than 22,000 men and women who lost their lives there in the summer of 19114, and breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been hearing some of the stories from that historic day. ken peppercorn was born and based in cambridgeshire but was serving with the royal scots when he landed in normandy on d—day. it was all life jackets soaked

in blood and the sea was all red with blood and that really, you know, put you off a bit. i thought to myself, "well, i'm here, i've got to keep going." he was just 22 years old when he attempted his first precarious steps on to what was codenamed gold beach. i slipped off the side of the ramp into a bomb hole. went under the water and i kept walking till i kept my head above the water. came out and i walked up the dunes and ifound a big hole. i got in that because bullets and shells were flying over the top all the time, and i was so hungry, i thought to myself, "well, if i'm going to die, i'm not going to die hungry." so i got my tin out, what they call k—rations, poured water on it and i made myself some porridge.

ken last returned to the normandy coast two years ago for the 75th anniversary. during the invasion, he was wounded and captured. he still has the shrapnel that was removed from his leg. with the allies advancing, he was crammed onto a cattle truck bound for a prisoner of war camp. i was asleep inside of the truck. the french civilians would bring a bottle of wine. and of course i got my steel helmet and i'd tie my belt round it and lowered it down. they poured it into my hat and i didn't spill a drop. i pulled it up. it's surprising what you do. i managed to get a drink. later, when on a forced march, he managed to escape and found his way to the safety of an american unit. along with the veterans, families of those who fought and died liberating normandy will attend a commemoration

of the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire to watch a video link from france as the normandy memorial has its official opening. chris bates will be there. his uncle sidney, nicknamed basher, is the only victoria cross recipient featured on the memorial. a brave man like all of them are. they were all brave men. whether they win a medal or not... his action, i'm told did say the situation. chris remembers his uncle's story being told in one of his boyhood comics and, decades on, says it's vital we remember. two or three times a year i spend a weekend, week if i can, over there, travelling around, paying my respects, just so our lads are being visited. it gets a bit emotional. you know, that's how it is. there's a lot of young men out there. it's good that we should remember them and keep visiting

them wherever we can. of the 22,4112 names carved in stone, four were just 16 years old. robertjohns, known as bob, had run away from home and signed up aged 15. one of his older brothers had already been killed in the war. his niece reads from bob's last letter home. "i'll be home for my birthday, i hope so. the weather here is lousy. it seems to rain most of the time. last night i got wet. boy, was i fed up!" i know my gramps kept his letter folded in his wallet until his dying day. it meant that much to him. just a boy but his courage belied his youth. when i got his service record, i found out he was 5 ft 3.5 inches, and 125 lbs, so nine stone, roughly. so he must have looked

like a lad, really. harry rode the bike through northern france to raise money for the memorial and had a sneak preview, managing to find his father's name immortalised on its walls. i did expect it. i knew it was there. it was still a revelation. it was still quite something. emotional, would you say? yes, very emotional. yeah. i'm an emotional person, so it doesn't take much. it was quite something. it really was. here at the national archives are the original wartime documents. a valuable resource that formed just part of the research byjane furlong, who spent more than nine months determining and double—checking every single name on the memorial. it might be a name mentioned in stone. behind each name is a story. you can see the memorial itself is ordered by date.

so that what you can do as you are going round the memorial itself, you can follow the tide of battle. so you will see naturally the 6th ofjune, huge numbers of casualties on that day. as you go round the memorial, you will see other elements. some days were quieter than others, some days there were more casualties than others. as you are walking round, you can get a visceral feel for that, as you're physically walking around it. those on the walls, the ones who made it home, —— those not on the walls, the ones who made it home, were fortunate, says eric strange. he was a young sublieutenant in charge of beach landing craft. he still has his boots from 19114 and has also been back to normandy in recent years. i was lucky. i was with the landing craft at the time. it was very rough, actually, onjune the 5th and 6th, very rough. i got picked up and dropped off sword beach. the rest of the lads had to go over on their own steam, which was a bit naughty.

a0 foot open barges. it wasn't a quiet evening at all, very rough sea. our biggest worry was we had no food. we had a box of so—called rations but they disappeared. why is it important for you to have gone on those trips and hopefully you will go on more? it was a helluva thing to happen. it's something to keep in your mind in a way. it's all a long time ago. such was the scale of d—day, the brutality of war and the loss of so many on both sides, including civilians. those who survived say they do feel lucky. and to this day, talk of the duty they feel to tell the world of their experiences in an attempt to prevent such loss of life from ever happening again. john maguire, bbc news.

that memorial will mean so much to so many people. it is absolutely stunning. 0ne so many people. it is absolutely stunning. one thing is the share scale. it looks magnificent. then you think of the detail and research that has gone into it. let's take a look at today's papers. changes to the uk's restrictions on travel abroad dominate the front pages. "britain is grounded" is the headline for the metro, which says millions of people desperate for a sunshine break in europe have had their hopes "dashed." the daily mail says "summer holidays have been plunged into chaos", after seven more countries were added to the red list, which requires people to quarantine in a hotel for ten days on their return to the uk. the telegraph says travel companies and mps have warned of another "lost summer", after transport secretary grant shapps suggested it could be mid—august before vaccination levels in europe enabled travel restrictions to be lifted. the front page also features a picture of borisjohnson receiving his second

coronavirus jab. one of the most read articles on wales 0nline is about relaxing of restrictions there from monday, which mean events like park run can resume as well as seated—crowds of up to 10,000 people can attend football matches and concerts. worth saying we are speaking to the first minister of wales later on this morning and we'll find out more details then. 0n the inside of the newspapers. instead astonish me. there is an invisible sculpture which has been created. it comes with a certificate of authenticity will stop it exists in his imagination 0k. he sold this work. it is called i am stop an unidentified buyer has successfully bid for this. there was more than

one bidderfor this piece of art. this piece of art is displayed in a five but by five foot square and it needs to be done so in a private place. the specifications are there should be no air—conditioning artificial lighting. what does it look like? it is nothing. he has an idea in his head stop some person has £13,000 to spare and to spend on nothing. can we get camera six. mine isjust here. i think mine is worth more. any bids welcome. his imagination would you like to buy more, mine or charlie's? it is not

unheard of in the art world. people have sold plain pieces of white paper and at the scene as art. sometimes it is challenging. i am going to embrace my ignorance. here is me thinking art had to have some sickle... 0rat least is me thinking art had to have some sickle... or at least something you can see. —— something physical stop. last week on breakfast, we brought you the story of a son who had fulfilled his father's wishes by buying his mum the engagement ring she'd always been promised. when mike's dad cecil first popped the question to margaret in 19118, he didn't have the money for a ring, but said he'd get one if his beloved leicester city won the fa cup. sadly, he died before they lifted the trophy. the story touched those at the club so much, they wanted to give margaret a special moment to remember, as kathryn stanczysyn reports. it was a long wait but it was worth it. he used to say it every time.

you'll get your ring when city win the cup. in 19118, cecil angel proposed to his sweetheart, margaret. money was tight so the deal was a proper engagement ring when his beloved leicester city won the fa cup. i never thought i'd get one, to be honest. they got to the final so many times, and i never got my ring. over the decades, margaret got her hopes up on four occasions but it wasn't to be until now. so how does that hand feel, margaret, with a sparkler like that on it now? it's wonderful. have you taken it off yet? no. i haven't taken it off yet. never will. i'm not going to take it off either. sadly, cecil is no longer around to see the football moment he'd always longed for but his son, mike, decided to step in and honour a promise — a ring his mum deserves and his dad would have wanted her to have. loved his football, loved his sport,

loved cricket, rugby. followed leicester, leicestershire with absolutely everything. loved his family. good joker. great sense of humour. it'sjust a matter of whether we're all alive for leicester city to win it. yeah, they've made it. 73 years later but they've done it. last week we told the angel family story and it turned out a certain football club was watching. they decided margaret should have another surprise. hello, margaret. i've got something really special to hand over to you. _ i think you probably know what this is, don't you? l that's beautiful. so margaret, would you like to just tap the fa cup with that promise i that your husband and you made? the gold united with the silverware. i've been waiting for this for a long time, so thank you all. they've made my dream come true. fantastic. i didn't imagine anything like this would happen. but to have the fa cup

in your garden with your mother and just looking at a 96—year—old with a big grin on her face... you had a lump in your throat, didn't you? i've got a lump in my throat, definitely. without doubt. and so did you. for a football club still basking in fa cup glory, this has been a cherry on the cake. one of the best ones, presentations, i've ever done and believe you me i've done a few over the years. - but for margaret, fantastic. what a beautiful story! she's had to wait for - 74 years to get hold of it. i was going to say, it took you long enough. it took us long enough. i think if we'd have known margaret was waiting we might _ have done it quicker. it's been fantastic. and for margaret, this was the fulfilment of a life promise and the ultimate way to honour the man who made it. i'm sure my husband is up there feeling very happy with his self. kathryn stanczyszyn, bbc news. what a great day for that family!

the birds singing in the garden, a perfect setting. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. there are calls for cheaper broadband to be made available for people on low incomes after concerns they're being pushed into debt due to the cost. the charity citizens' advice is calling on 0fcom and the government to do more to help after it found around 700,000 people in the uk had fallen into broadband debt during the pandemic. 0fcom says it's pushing providers to do more to help people in financial difficulty. the postponed uefa euro 2020 tournament kicks off in a week's time and the trophy is arriving at king's cross this morning ahead of a week—long tour of the city. two of the matches will be played at wembley stadium but other games will be shown on big screens around london. and you could soon be hearing this on the tube. john motty motson here, part

of the tfl commentary team today. and it looks like, it looks like we're going to have a penalty! the official is coming across now. the referee is reaching for a card. will it be yellow or red? oh, it's blue, it's a contactless card. well, that is a relief. horticulturalists at rhs wisley are carrying out research to establish which trees are best to plant to tackle climate change. scientists will analyse the extent to which ten varieties of garden tree can help counter flooding and aid cooling in urban areas while also capturing carbon. a total of 60 trees have been planted at wisley�*s john mcleod field research facility as part of a five year trial. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube there is a part suspension on the piccadilly line and on tfl rail. service is suspended on south western railway between woking and esher due to over running engineering works. the usual queues building up

on a102 blackwall lane towards the blackwall tunnel. camberwell, there are roadworks and temporary traffic lights on a215 camberwell road at the junction with bowyer place. now the weather with gillian brown. hello, good morning. well, a cloudier and cooler day across the capital today. there's also a chance of a shower or two as well. but gradually the cloud will thicken this morning and build into the afternoon, bringing with it a chance of one or two of those showers coming up from the south. the further east you are, the heavier they are likely to be. through the course of the day, the temperature is getting up to around 20 celsius. and then overnight tonight, we are going to hang onto that cloud for a time. it will take quite a while to shift and you mightjust catch a lingering shower into the early part of saturday. there will be a dry start to the day, temperatures kicking off at around 11 or 12 celsius. so through into the weekend, that's when we see the return of sunshine,

it's a little bit brighter and a bit warmer to come on saturday and sunday as well. temperatures back into the 20s and staying that way as well as we look into next week, into monday and tuesday. high pressure continues to be in charge so we'll keep you up to date and i'll see you soon. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning. there's lots to digest following the government's travel update. we'll bring you all the latest information, and what your rights are, throughout the morning. if you are planning a journey, or if you are currently on a journey, we

will take you through what happens. from small axe to the crown, they're just some of the big tv hits up for a bafta this sunday night. we'll be joined by red carpet presenter stacey dooley just before eight. # soon it will be your turn # to make a booking and bare yourarm # keep the community safe from harm # just get thatjab and go! and we'll meet the motley crew, the retired group of friends from essex who have created their own sea shanty encouraging young people to get their covid vaccine. hopes of a summer holiday abroad are fading as portugal is removed from the government's green list meaning tourists returning from there to the uk will have to quarantine from tuesday, and no other destinations have been added. there were suggestions this might

happen, but people had followed the rules, they had gone out there and things had got pretty complicated pretty quickly. things had got pretty complicated pretty quickly-— pretty quickly. yes, we talked a lot esterda pretty quickly. yes, we talked a lot yesterday about — pretty quickly. yes, we talked a lot yesterday about what _ pretty quickly. yes, we talked a lot yesterday about what might - pretty quickly. yes, we talked a lot yesterday about what might be - pretty quickly. yes, we talked a lot yesterday about what might be on | pretty quickly. yes, we talked a lot i yesterday about what might be on or off the green list, people thought perhaps the green list would only get bigger but as has proved in the last 2a hours, it can get smaller. the big questions are if is some 2021 cancelled. —— summer 2021. yes, big questions this morning about whether overseas holidays are cancelled, or just delayed. it all relates to the traffic light system that was introduced across the uk last month in an attempt to restart foreign travel. the amber and red lists cover most of the world including all the main holiday destinations. the government says people shouldn't be travelling to these countries for holidays. if you do travel there, for business perhaps, you have to quarantine when you get back. leisure travel is permitted to countries on the green list. but for now, that's just

a handful of countries, and getting smaller. you won't have to quarantine but need to take a test before you leave and once you get home. and here's where things have changed. yesterday, the government said that portugal will be removed from the green list from tuesday. for the past three weeks it's been one of the only european hotspots able to welcome travellers without the need to self—isolate when they get back. so the news means thousands of holiday—makers will have to change their plans. lauren and her partner were due to fly to lisbon next week. well, we've had a look and it seems like we can't cancel our flight and get a refund, which was our risk to take, and we gladly took it, sad it worked out this way but it is what it is. we can pay 90 euros to move them to it later on in the year. to be honest, we feel slightly sketchy about that. it feels just like something could go wrong then as well and then

you'd pay end up paying another 90 euros and another 90 euros. you know, i have to say, it's quite off—putting. it's not just holidaymakers. it's also a big blow to the hospitality industry in portugal. it adds a whole new layer of uncertainty. i think people will now be reconsidering whether they book certainly theirjuly holiday, hopefully they still think about coming in august but i believe we have to wait another three weeks now to see what the british government decides to do about portugal by the end ofjune. and in the algarve, especially where we are based, our summer season is pretty short. it's reallyjune, july, august and september. so we really heavily rely on people coming in those months. the government also added eight more countries onto the no—go red—list and crucially no new destinations added to the green list. many holiday destinations like malta, the canary islands

and the balearics were hoping to be included. it leaves holiday—makers with very few options. the list will be reassessed in three weeks. as you'd expect there's been a lot of reaction from the travel industry that had been hoping to get more foreign trips up and running. we can talk to karen smart, managing director at manchester airport. good to see you, karen. you have been operating at a nearly 10% capacity for most of the last year. how much of a setback is this latest decision as far as your reopening plans are concerned?— decision as far as your reopening plans are concerned? good morning. yesterday's — plans are concerned? good morning. yesterday's announcement _ plans are concerned? good morning. yesterday's announcement and - plans are concerned? good morning. yesterday's announcement and the l yesterday's announcement and the reality of today is incredibly disappointing for us. notjust as an airport but as an industry as a whole. but also for our customers. we see in the media this morning and we havejust heard, the restrictions are really catching people out. they have had the vaccinations and they

the rights and implications, if you have got a trip booked, if you have cancellation rights, and are you insured if you want to go somewhere on the amber list. we can speak to simon calder, the travel editor for the independent, who is in gibraltar this morning. yes, the last country standing, charlie, pretty much the only mediterranean destination that any of us can go on holiday these days without having to quarantine when you return. there's a lot of people perhaps under the missing pre—emption that green means go, you show your passport and you are in. absolutely not. i am flying back later tonight, absolutely not. i am flying back latertonight, i have absolutely not. i am flying back later tonight, i have been up half the night filling in forms, booking a pcr test, organising a test before i can get onto the plane, spending £100 for each member of my family on that process. it is formidably difficult already. as you have been

hearing from karen smart and from then, effectively, holiday quarantine bingo is back, and if you are in portugal, you have 93 hours and counting to get back before quarantine begins. 50 and counting to get back before quarantine begins.— quarantine begins. so let's go throu~h quarantine begins. so let's go through some _ quarantine begins. so let's go through some of _ quarantine begins. so let's go through some of these - quarantine begins. so let's go| through some of these basics. quarantine begins. so let's go i through some of these basics. if you are in portugal right now, what are your rights, what's your situation? 0k, well, you are either on a package holiday or some sort of diy arrangement, and at the moment, that is simply continuing as normal. in the past couple of minutes, i checked the foreign office advice, that does not warn against travel against portugal, so that part of government says it is perfectly 0k to go there. so your travel insurance is still valid which is good, but it also means that the travel industry doesn't need to get you back. airfares have been going through the roof overnight, i'm expecting more capacity to be put in to get people back before 4am on

tuesday, but the trouble is, the travel industry wasn't expecting this at all and they have been running around since yesterday afternoon trying to sort out what's happening and still, tui are saying, we have not made final plans yet. if you are on holiday due to end from tuesday onwards, you may well be expected to finish it and then to quarantine. but do expect to talk to your travel company when you can but they are overwhelmed with people trying to get in touch. let’s they are overwhelmed with people trying to get in touch.— trying to get in touch. let's try to deal with some _ trying to get in touch. let's try to deal with some of _ trying to get in touch. let's try to deal with some of these - trying to get in touch. let's try to deal with some of these various i deal with some of these various scenarios. if i was one of those people who have booked a trip to portugal, may be an independent trip, my own flights myself or with a package holiday, and it is leaving after that cut—off point of 4am on tuesday, what am i right in terms of cancellations or insurance?- cancellations or insurance? legally, even if you — cancellations or insurance? legally, even if you have _ cancellations or insurance? legally, even if you have booked _ cancellations or insurance? legally, even if you have booked a _ cancellations or insurance? legally, even if you have booked a package i even if you have booked a package holiday, you have no automatic right

to a refund because the holiday can go ahead. the fact that you don't want to quarantine for ten days when you come back isn't the holiday company's problem. having said that, companies like tui will be doing what they can to offer flexibility, it might be, not guaranteed, that some of them in some circumstances will offer refunds, much more likely they will allow you to rebook. the main airlines going into portugal, thatis main airlines going into portugal, that isjet2, easyjet, ryanair, and british airways, they are all offering a fair amount of flexibility forflight offering a fair amount of flexibility for flight only passengers. if the flight goes, you will not get your cash back but you might be able to rebook for another date possibly on the same route and possibly on a different route in the case of easyjet and british airways. so it is an absolute mess, we were not expecting this. but there are

possibilities of flexibility. if you booked all of your tests and got that organised and now you're not going, you can try your insurance for that, going, you can try your insurance forthat, but going, you can try your insurance for that, but very unlikely that i'm afraid that they will be paying for that. ., ., , ., , afraid that they will be paying for that. ., ., ,., , , afraid that they will be paying for that. ., ., , , , .,, that. one of the reasons why people felt possibly — that. one of the reasons why people felt possibly emboldened _ that. one of the reasons why people felt possibly emboldened to - that. one of the reasons why people felt possibly emboldened to go i that. one of the reasons why people felt possibly emboldened to go to i felt possibly emboldened to go to portugal was because they can, number one, they were not told they could not, but also because we were told there would be a green watchlist in place across the board, advised to go to countries. effectively that would have been a certain time span of a warning that something might change. and that appears to have gone out the window. exactly. two months ago, the global travel taskforce, which is the department for transport, the transport secretary grant shapps, and the whole travel industry, came up and the whole travel industry, came up with a report which said, right, we know it was terribly unsettling last year with all the sudden changes and people having to rush back from their destination so we are going to bring in this green watchlist, you will get a week or two's warning though if you have not yet set off, you might want to consider your position, and if you

are there, you will know that you have got a certain amount of time to get back. and here we are again, i counted it was 108 hours notice for people in portugal, it simply hasn't happened. the talk in the travel industry is that the transport secretary has notjust moved the goalposts, he has uprooted them and put them on a whole different arena with a whole lot of new criteria to re—were with a whole lot of new criteria to —— that we were not expecting. the government is saying this is all to protect public health and they are doing what would be required and they never promised they would give you any warning. taste they never promised they would give you any warning-— they never promised they would give you any warning. we wish you well on our you any warning. we wish you well on yourjourney. — you any warning. we wish you well on yourjourney. what — you any warning. we wish you well on yourjourney, what time _ you any warning. we wish you well on yourjourney, what time is _ you any warning. we wish you well on yourjourney, what time is your i yourjourney, what time is your flight? it yourjourney, what time is your fliuht? , yourjourney, what time is your fliuht? 3' :: . yourjourney, what time is your flirht? ," ii. flight? it is 11:50am local time, 10:50am your _ flight? it is 11:50am local time, 10:50am your time, _ flight? it is 11:50am local time, 10:50am your time, i'm - flight? it is 11:50am local time, 10:50am your time, i'm sad i flight? it is 11:50am local time, 10:50am your time, i'm sad to | flight? it is 11:50am local time, i 10:50am your time, i'm sad to be leaving this gorgeous place not least because there is nowhere else i can go now! fin least because there is nowhere else i can go now!— i can go now! on that slightly rloom i can go now! on that slightly gloomy thought, _ i can go now! on that slightly gloomy thought, i _ i can go now! on that slightly gloomy thought, i will- i can go now! on that slightly gloomy thought, i will leave i i can go now! on that slightly i gloomy thought, i will leave you,

until after sunday's warm—up match against romania. his liverpool and england team—matejordan henderson tweeted his sympathy. he wrote: "gutted for trent alexander—arnold but he'll be back. lots of tournaments ahead of him." northern ireland were beaten 1—0 by ukraine in a friendly last night. having seen off malta on sunday, ian baraclough's side couldn't build on that win, with 0leksandr zubkov scoring after only ten minutes for the hosts, who are preparing for the euros. the republic of ireland recovered from a goal down to beat andorra 4—1 in another friendly. it's manager stephen kenny's first victory after 12 games in charge. england trail new zealand by 267 runs going into the third day of the first test at lord's. the tourists' total of 378 includes 200 from devon conway, who became only the seventh man to make a double century on his test debut. in reply, england wobbled,

but skipperjoe root and rory burns, the latter with a half century, have led the fightback. england will resume on 111—2. i'm really pleased the way we fought back. 130—7, something like that today, from our bowling attack, was fantastic. got us back into the game which was really important because new zealand could put a really big score on that first innings and then it would have been tough. as it is, it was still a good score, i think, on that pitch. and having lost the early wickets, we were under pressure so a really good partnership from rory burns and joe root there. britain's cameron norrie will play reigning champion rafa nadal in the third round of the french open after coming from behind to beat lloyd harris of south africa. norrie lost the first set but fought back to take the following three to reach the next stage. norrie is in great form having reached two finals in may and has now 25 wins under his belt this year. world number two rafa nadal cruised

into the third round earlier with a straight sets win over richard gasquet. the perfect way for nadal to celebrate his 35th birthday. roger federer came through a tricky encounter with marin cilic to win by three sets to one. the 39—year—old will play germany's dominic koepfer in the last 32. top seed novak djokovic is also on that side of the draw and he brushed aside urugury�*s pablo cuevas in straight sets. the serb will face lithuania's ricardas berankis next. defending women's champion iga swiatek cruised past rebecca paterson, 6—1, 6—1. earlier world number one seed ashleigh barty retired injured from her match against magda linette. geraint thomas caught his rivals off guard to win the fifth stage of the criterium du daphine, which is an important warm up race before the tour de france at the end of the month.

the briton, who rides for ineos grenadiers, broke clear with around half a mile to go and just held on to win. he's now sixth overall, 1a seconds behind leader lukas postlberger. that's it for the sport. so much going on, thank you so much. let's have a look at the weather now. ifind i find that out there across many places but not all of us will hold onto some sunshine, it is a fine start for many. we are some showery weather today, start for many. we are some showery weathertoday, it start for many. we are some showery weather today, it will go into the weekend. temperatures not as high as they have been, but still low teens and —— high teens and low 20s and feeling nice in the sunshine. this area of cloud is now starting to nudge some rain into the south coast of england. towards the isle of wight and eastwards and then running

northwards across south—east england and towards east anglia, some outbreaks of rain on the way here. maybe if you have your best, may be a rumble of thunder, particularly the further east you are. —— there might be a few outbursts of rain. cloudy northern ireland and west scotland, some hazy brightness but also some showers. at 4pm this afternoon, you can pick out the odd shower in northern and western scotland, very hit and miss, most places dry with hazy and sunny spells around. temperatures into the high teens. a shower or two in northern ireland as well but for much of northern england, across wales, west midlands and the south—west, plenty of sunshine, very high uv in south wales and south—west england to take it easy in the sunshine. you might catch a shower in cornwall and devon but most are staying dry. a cooler day with the cloud and rain affecting eastern areas of england, some of that continuing into the night along with the chance of a shower in

northern ireland and western scotland. mid single figures are the lowest temperatures in the coolest clear spot overnight. into the weekend, the source of cloud and showers towards the west move in and weaken and die away over the weekend as high pressure is re—established so there will be plenty of dry weather this weekend. taking a look at saturday, the odd heavy shower, particularly by the afternoon to northern ireland, western and northern scotland, you might catch on towards the four west of wales and south—west england. gradually brightening across eastern england after a cloudy and damp start, mostly dry with sunny spells and feeling pleasant. a chance of a disruption at the cricket for lord's today, find this weekend and 23 degrees. —— but it will be fine this weekend. 0n degrees. —— but it will be fine this weekend. on sunday, there will be some cloud across us, the chance of a light shower somewhere but the vast majority will be dry on sunday.

variable cloud and sunny spells and the temperature is close to and for some a little bit above average for the time of year so it will feel very pleasant in those sunny spells are not will —— on what will be a mainly dry weekend. thank you. chinese windmill plants, snowgums and bamboos. you're unlikely to find them in the average garden but you may spot them in the suburbs of sheffield. for 30 years simon 0lphin has been transforming his back yard into a jungle paradise, with hundreds of exotic plants from all over the world. paul hudson has been to see them. i've come to millhouses, which is a suburb in the south of sheffield, to meet a family that started on a journey 30 years ago to produce something really rather special. and i honestly cannot wait for you to see what lies behind this house. are you ready for this? it's absolutely magnificent. just feast your eyes on this. we have a jungle in the heart of sheffield.

and the creator is simon. simon, this is, it's the first time i've seen it. it's absolutely fantastic. where on earth did you get the idea to plant from scratch a jungle in sheffield? well, ever since i have been a child, paul, i was fascinated by small creatures and then plants. and the idea that i might be able to go abroad and see those in tropicaljungles, those animals and plants, was fantastic to me. and the first time i flew, i was absolutely terrified. it was a terrible experience to me. and so i was never going to be able to see the jungles, those exciting places. so we moved to sheffield in 1987 from cambridge, and i started to try and reproduce in my own way what i thought i might be capable of doing, of producing a jungle type atmosphere in sheffield. it was a long open pitch, just grass, a few trees, with nothing else.

so it was an ideal blank canvas to try and start that process off. incredible. can i have a look? you certainly can. this is my best bamboo. it's the chinese gold and timber bamboo. and as you can see, it has a really large canes. years ago, we would have never been able to have generate size of bamboo like this in sheffield. so this is an example of warming climate, this would have not thrived to this extent 40, 50 years ago? exactly, paul. this is an example of increased summer temperatures on the edge of sheffield, which we would have never had a0 years ago. and the temperatures in the soil are such that we can generate these sort of canes. but let me show you what else we have in the garden. please do, yeah. it's myjungle! this is my bit ofjungle which i have generated over

the last 20 years or so. and you can see it now is towering at about 25 feet. and i feel that it is my own little bit ofjungle. this is an australasian species of tree fern, but it survives in sheffield despite some quite cold winters. a0 or 50 years ago it certainly wouldn't have survived the constant cold winters that we have. tell us about your prize species in your garden. well, paul, it's this snowgum, this eucalypt. i grew it from seed in 1987, and planted it in the garden as a very small seedling in 1989. and it's watched the garden develop over all these years. i can tell you're really proud of it. iam, iam. look at the size of it in just 30 years. simon, thank you so much for showing us around your garden. it's been an absolute pleasure. paul, it's been a pleasure for me too, thank you very much indeed.

of a shower or two as well. but gradually the cloud will thicken this morning and build into the afternoon, bringing with it a chance of one or two of those showers coming up from the south. the further east you are, the heavier they are likely to be. through the course of the day, the temperature is getting up to around 20 celsius. and then overnight tonight, we are going to hang onto that cloud for a time. it will take quite a while to shift and you mightjust catch a lingering shower into the early part of saturday. there will be a dry start to the day, temperatures kicking off at around 11 or 12 celsius. so through into the weekend, that's when we see the return of sunshine, it's a little bit brighter and a bit warmer to come on saturday and sunday as well. temperatures back into the 20s and staying that way as well as we look into next week, into monday and tuesday. high pressure continues to be in charge so we'll keep you up to date and i'll see you soon. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

trips to portugal have had the green light with no quarantine when you get back. but from tuesday, that will change. well, it'sjust going to put people off travel. and that's, you know, very damaging for the travel industry. either we believe in the vaccines or we don't. we just literally missed the cut off to change our flight. we had to do it within two hours so we can't even get the money back, anyway. no new countries were added to the existing green list yesterday. portugal left that category and became amber, with the requirement to self—isolate at home for ten days upon return. it's not illegal to travel to these places, but the government has told people not to go to them on holiday. seven more countries were added to the highest risk red list. that means returning uk residents must pay to quarantine in an approved hotel. the government said designating portugal as amber was necessary to avoid bringing variants of concern into the uk.

the portuguese foreign ministry said on twitter, they noted the decision but could not understand the logic. ban international travel completely, or, you know, just communicate properly with people. it's just... it's silly. you have to have a system where it's either open or it's closed. there's families bringing out kids and there's people booked holidays for a long time. if it's closed, close it. it's very frustrating - because we, well, we came here because we were like, i portugal, green list, it's fine. so, yeah, it's going to impact i on work and stuff when i get back. airlines and holiday companies desperate for summer trade after the crippling effect of more than a year of covid travel restrictions expressed bitter disappointment. last summer, we hit an all—time low and passenger numbers only got the announcement yesterday was incredibly disappointing. also for

our customers. we have seen in the media this morning and we havejust heard the restrictions are really catching people out. they have had vaccinations and are ready to travel. we are a year on from when the travel corridors were first announced stop we have one of the most successful vaccination programmes in the world yet we have not moved forward. it is incredibly frustrating. the transport secretary said a cautious approach must be taken but travel businesses are frustrated and many holiday—makers face a sudden change of plan. this has been rebooked seven times. we did a lot of looking into whether it was safe to travel. and if we would have to quarantine on return. we are looking potentially at trying to fly back slightly earlier. there doesn't appear to be that many flights unfortunately. the next review of the traffic light system is expected in three weeks' time. katy austin, bbc news. 0ur correspondent james reynolds is at gatwick airport for us this morning,

and james many tourists may well choose not to travel. a lot of people said, we can go to portugal. tell us about flights in and flights coming back. what is happening? there are a reasonable number of lights going out this morning, one to malta, several to the greek islands, one to tenerife and budapest. there are a few flights scheduled to portugal. some people i spoke to said they had sympathy with the fact rules have changed. 0ne spoke to said they had sympathy with the fact rules have changed. one man going to ireland hoped everything might be ok at the end of the summer. i spoke to a couple going to spain. they believed restrictions on portugal were too much and it was an overreaction. they could not understand what was going on. thank ou ve understand what was going on. thank

you very much- _ the variant of coronavirus first identified in india is now the dominant strain in the uk — according to public health england scientists say there are signs the variant — now known as delta — may increase the risk of hospitalisation but more data is needed to have more confidence in the finding. let's speak to our political correspondent iain watson in westminster. good morning. looking at what this now named delta variant is doing, how will this affect those restrictions? the date that was mooted where most restrictions could be eased in terms of coronavirus. there is a thought that during the zist there is a thought that during the 21st will go ahead, freedom day, as they see it with the lifting of almost all coronavirus restrictions. downing street is saying it is too soon to see if they can go ahead. they will not have to take a

decision until the 1ath of this month. as it stands, there is nothing to suggest there will be a delay to restrictions being lifted onjune delay to restrictions being lifted on june the delay to restrictions being lifted onjune the 21st but there are some concerned, not least the need for more data on the indian variant, the delta variant, and the worrying news it may lead to a rise in hospitalisations. at the moment most people in hospital admissions are not vaccinated. it is still too soon to say. certainly there are some scientists and some advisers to the government who are suggesting some restrictions ought to stay in place and the government should be cautious, perhaps still wearing a mask and giving advice to work from home should continue and during the zist. home should continue and during the 21st. there is pressure given the

relatively low number of infections currently taking place in england. there is a sign of caution and determination by the government to go ahead with domestic restrictions being lifted. they are imposing more restrictions on international travel with many more countries going on the red list with portugal going off the red list with portugal going off the green list. up to 10,000 people will be allowed at outdoor events — including concerts and sports matches — from monday in wales as lockdown restrictions are further relaxed. groups of 30 people will also be allowed to meet outdoors, including in private gardens. 0ur correspondent tomos morgan is in cardiff this morning. looks like sunshine will be shining. there will be some changes. there will be some _ there will be some changes. there will be some changes _ there will be some changes. there will be some changes on _ there will be some changes. iuee will be some changes on monday. what has always been the case, the first

minister has always said the 21st of june will not be the end of restrictions in wales. there are concerns over their new delta variant. from monday there will be a dazed move down to alert level one. two 30 people can meet in private gardens and outdoor hospitality. for the first time since restrictions began, crowds will begin to be able to go to outdoor sporting events, concerts and things like park brands may be able to start as well. if things keep progressing in the right manner, from the 21st ofjune, groups of six will be able to meet indoors, which is already the case indoors, which is already the case in england and there will be easing of indoor restrictions when it comes to activities as well although two me to social distancing will need to be maintained. as i mentioned, there

are less than 100 cases in wales and the moment. the welsh government is concerned that could be an influx of cases from hotspot areas in the north of england. i think the likelihood is that wales could be in alert level one.— alert level one. time. keep very much. alert level one. time. keep very much- we _ alert level one. time. keep very much- we are — alert level one. time. keep very much. we are talking _ alert level one. time. keep very much. we are talking to - alert level one. time. keep very much. we are talking to the i alert level one. time. keep very| much. we are talking to the first minister mark drakeford in about ten minutes. —— thank you very much. more than 200 migrants were rescued while attempting to cross the english channel yesterday. eight boats were intercepted by border force officials on thursday — a spokesperson for the home office said smugglers were "putting profits before people's lives through dangerous and unnecessary crossings". more than 3,500 people have been prevented from making the journey so far this year. a statue of the 17th century slave trader edward colston — that was toppled during an anti—racism protest — will go on public display in bristol today. it is in a museum close to where it was thrown

into the city's harbour. covered in graffiti and damaged from being dragged along the street, it is unable to stand and so is being presented lying down. it's 7:12am. good morning to you. here's nick with a look at this morning's weather. gorgeous pictures you have been showing this morning. it is lovely out there, isn't it? pretty much. some sunshine in many areas over the weekend. warm, sunny spells. temperatures near average for the time of year. a cloudy northern ireland and western scotland. a few spells of rain. rain in the south—east of england reducing may be heavy bursts with a rumble of thunder. away from these two areas, for many it will be sunny spells.

temperatures around 21, maybe 22. a late day shower in, and devon cannot be willed out. into tonight and we will still have outbreaks of rain across eastern and south—eastern areas of england. nothing changing very much. we are talking mid single figures in the very coolest rural spots. this is how the weekend is shaping up. in the south—east of england brightening up slowly. in the north—west of scotland there could be a heavy shower, maybe thundery. the chance of catching one in wales as well. similar temperatures and are mainly dry sunday. that is how it is looking. looks fabulous, if you ask me. lets return now to one of our top stories, and the confirmation that the coronavirus variant — first detected in india — is now

the dominant strain in the uk. it's after the number of confirmed cases rose by almost 80 % last week to more than 12,000. we're joined now by epidemiologist dr mike tildesley. mike, dr mike tildesley. very good morning to you. good to mike, very good morning to you. good to see you today. a lotta people have a lot questions. let's talk about the newly named delta variant. we mentioned the growth rate earlier, at 79% over the last week. can you take us through what that means in practice? what are the implications of that?— means in practice? what are the implications of that? what we know about what we _ implications of that? what we know about what we are _ implications of that? what we know about what we are now _ implications of that? what we know about what we are now calling i implications of that? what we know about what we are now calling the i about what we are now calling the delta variant, it does have some transmission advantage over previous variants stop it spreads more easily. because it does, we might have expected at some point it was going to become more dominant than previous variants that were

circulating. that is not surprising. the keeping may need to establish now is the link between cases going up now is the link between cases going up and potentially hospital admissions and deaths going up. —— beekeeping we need to establish. there is still a lot of work to do now to establish if we do see cases going up whether that might spill over into a rise in say people going into hospital over the next couple of weeks. i into hospital over the next couple of weeks. ., , , . ., into hospital over the next couple of weeks. . , , . ., ., into hospital over the next couple ofweeks. . ,, . ., ., , ., of weeks. i appreciate that is a work in progress, _ of weeks. i appreciate that is a work in progress, especially i of weeks. i appreciate that is a i work in progress, especially given the rise in the delta variant currently. the rise in the delta variant currently-— the rise in the delta variant currentl . ~ . , ., currently. we have seen it growing u . currently. we have seen it growing u- in currently. we have seen it growing up in some — currently. we have seen it growing up in some reasons, _ currently. we have seen it growing up in some reasons, like _ currently. we have seen it growing up in some reasons, like bolton. l currently. we have seen it growing i up in some reasons, like bolton. we know the delta variant has really taken hold. we are not yet seeing it go taken hold. we are not yet seeing it 9° up taken hold. we are not yet seeing it go up across the country and hospital admissions are still low. that could rise over the coming weeks. my hope and belief is it

could not rise on the same scale whistle back injanuary. there is a lot of work for us to do over the next week or so to get as much evidence as we can so we can provide evidence as we can so we can provide evidence to the government ahead of thejune 21 post—relaxation. when the june 21 post-relaxation. when ou are the june 21 post-relaxation. when you are looking — the june 21 post-relaxation. when you are looking at _ the june 21 post-relaxation. when you are looking at the _ the june 21 post—relaxation. when you are looking at the modelling of these things, the figure quoted is 79% growth rate over the past week. if you model at forwards, i am not sure if that is what you are doing currently, if you expect that growth rate to continue, that is a question in itself, what does that look like two weeks, a month down the road? that is exactly what we do. you try to project it forward. in terms of doubling of cases, you start off with a relatively low prevalence.

cases have been low for a long period of time. if cases dabble, it might double in a week and then double again. over a period of time you have a big wave of infections. this does not go on forever because at some point you start to see cases hopefully turn round. the anything to bear in mind is prevalence is low. when you only had infections in certain areas it can give a false impression of how much the virus is spreading. only when you get to the situation be delta variant is spreading widely in multiple places across the country can we understand what the transmission rate is and project models forward to determine what you might expect to happen over the coming weeks. what what you might expect to happen over the coming weeks.— the coming weeks. what have we learnt about _ the coming weeks. what have we learnt about the _ the coming weeks. what have we learnt about the transmissibility i learnt about the transmissibility from area to area? there had been a number of hotspots and we know about

changes to restrictions in wales. is the nation you can contain something in a region, even in a city, is that realistic? we know there are so—called hotspots in various places around the uk. this so-called hotspots in various places around the uk.— around the uk. this is challenging. it is somewhat _ around the uk. this is challenging. it is somewhat a _ around the uk. this is challenging. it is somewhat a function _ around the uk. this is challenging. it is somewhat a function at - around the uk. this is challenging. it is somewhat a function at the - it is somewhat a function at the level of control. if you are under severe lockdown, most people do not travel. because of that if you see a bunch of cases it is easier for them to remain localised. we are opening up to remain localised. we are opening up society. it is extremely important for businesses and well—being stop that comes with increased mobility as people travel around the country. that is why it is very difficult to get a head when you do see a cluster of cases emerging. with a lot of unlocking

trade—off to allow people to get back whilst they are overseas in what is currently a green country. this is possibly why these decisions are being made now. portugal is a little bit of a concern. this is one difficulty we have were trying to unlock domestically it always puts pressure on the situation internationally. i know it is a really rotten time for the travel industry. really rotten time for the travel indust . ., , , ., ~ ., really rotten time for the travel indust . ., ,, ., , ., industry. you speak to us as an epidemiologist _ industry. you speak to us as an epidemiologist and _ industry. you speak to us as an epidemiologist and not - industry. you speak to us as an epidemiologist and not a - epidemiologist and not a decision—maker as to what should happen next. ifeel i decision—maker as to what should happen next. i feel i should ask, the date ofjune the 21st, given everything you have told us, where do you feel that date sits now in terms of relaxing all restrictions? it is really hard. we are in a situation where at some point we might expect these variants to emerge and put as under pressure as a society. that is the question. if

we show cases may rise and hospital admissions and deaths may rise over the coming months, what kind of rising knows the government can sort of cope with to allow society to reopen. —— rise in those. if there is a delay, the rise might not be as severe. that is the trade—off. if they delay it may lessen the rise and that will impact businesses all around the country. it is a really difficult decision.— around the country. it is a really difficult decision. always good to catch u- difficult decision. always good to catch up with _ difficult decision. always good to catch up with you. _ from monday, up to 30 people will be allowed to gather outdoors in wales, as part of a further easing of restrictions. however, the number of people able to meet in homes will not increase until at least latejune — and there's "growing concern" about the spread of the variant first identified in india. we're joined now by the first minister of wales, mark drakeford. good morning to you, first minister.

quickly in the north west of england, it will cross the border into wales. the variant does not see the border. the amount of traffic going back and forwards between the north—west of england and wales is very high every day and there is the real prospect we will see the variant spreading into wales. that is why we are delaying the other measures we might take to maximise the amount of vaccination we can carry out because that is our best defence against a new variant. i am sure that in england huge efforts are being made to offer vaccination to more people and build up those defences. in that sense we are all trying to do the right thing together. trying to do the right thing together-— trying to do the right thing touether. ~ ., ~ ., , trying to do the right thing touether. ~ ., ~ together. would you like to be able together. would you like to be able to stop travellers _ together. would you like to be able to stop travellers coming _ together. would you like to be able to stop travellers coming from - to stop travellers coming from england into wales, particularly from hotspots? ida. england into wales, particularly from hotspots?— england into wales, particularly from hotspots? no, i do not think that is the — from hotspots? no, i do not think that is the position _ from hotspots? no, i do not think that is the position we're - from hotspots? no, i do not think that is the position we're in - from hotspots? no, i do not think that is the position we're in the i that is the position we're in the moment. we have been in that

officers found a 17—year—old who had been stabbed. he's in a stable condition. there is an increased police presence in hyde park following the incident. there are calls for cheaper broadband to be made available for people on low incomes after concerns they're being pushed into debt due to the cost. the charity citizens' advice is calling on ofcom and the government to do more to help after it found around 700,000 people in the uk had fallen into broadband debt during the pandemic. ofcom says it's pushing providers to do more to help people in financial difficulty. the postponed uefa euro 2020 tournament kicks off in a week's time and the trophy is arriving at king's cross this morning ahead of a week—long tour of the city. two of the matches will be played at wembley stadium but other games will be shown on big screens around london. and you could soon be hearing this on the tube. john motty motson here, part of the tfl commentary team today. and it looks like, it looks like we're going to have a penalty!

the official is coming across now. the referee is reaching for a card. will it be yellow or red? oh, it's blue, it's a contactless card. well, that is a relief. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube there are minor delays on the piccadilly line but all other lines are running well. service is suspended on south western railway between woking and esher due to over running engineering works. the usual queues building up on a102 blackwall lane towards the blackwall tunnel. camberwell, there are roadworks and temporary traffic lights on a215 camberwell road at the junction with bowyer place. there is no woolwich ferry in service due to strike action. now the weather with gillian brown. hello, good morning. well, a cloudier and cooler day across the capital today. there's also a chance of a shower or two as well.

but gradually the cloud will thicken this morning and build into the afternoon, bringing with it a chance of one or two of those showers coming up from the south. the further east you are, the heavier they are likely to be. through the course of the day, the temperature is getting up to around 20 celsius. and then overnight tonight, we are going to hang onto that cloud for a time. it will take quite a while to shift and you mightjust catch a lingering shower into the early part of saturday. there will be a dry start to the day, temperatures kicking off at around 11 or 12 celsius. so through into the weekend, that's when we see the return of sunshine, it's a little bit brighter and a bit warmer to come on saturday and sunday as well. temperatures back into the 20s and staying that way as well as we look into next week, into monday and tuesday. high pressure continues to be in charge so we'll keep you up to date and i'll see you soon. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's return to our top story now and thousands of travellers face uncertainty after portugal became the latest country to be added to the government's amber list. the airline industry said the decision could threaten jobs, whilst portugal said it didn't understand the logic behind the move. we're joined now by the housing secretary, robertjenrick. good morning. can you just answer that quite straightforward question, from the portuguese authorities, they don't understand the logic, what is the logic?— they don't understand the logic, what is the logic? good morning. first of all. _ what is the logic? good morning. first of all, we _ what is the logic? good morning. first of all, we always _ what is the logic? good morning. first of all, we always said - what is the logic? good morning. first of all, we always said that i what is the logic? good morning. | first of all, we always said that we would adopt a cautious approach. i appreciate it is very disappointing and frustrating for people who are in portugal and for those people who work in the industry, but we have made so much progress as a country

as a result of our vaccine roll—out that we do need to approach this cautiously to protect the uk with infection from new variants. with respect to portugal, there are two important considerations. firstly, we saw a considerable rise in positivity in the last few weeks, it has doubled in three weeks in portugal, it is a much higher level than we see here at the uk. and secondly and most importantly, although both countries have prevalence of what is known as the indian variant, delta variant, we have seen a further mutation emerge, become prevalent within portugal now known as the nepal variant. we thought it was prudent to be cautious while we were still learning about this new variant. we don't know yet whether it will be a problem but our scientists are researching as we speak, looking at whether it is more transmissible, more virulent, and above all,

whether or not our current set of vaccines are effective against it. whilst we do that research, i think most people, i hope most people will appreciate it is right to be careful. b. appreciate it is right to be careful. �* ., ., , ., ., careful. a lot of people followed all of the government _ careful. a lot of people followed | all of the government guidelines careful. a lot of people followed - all of the government guidelines and went ahead and booked their trips to portugal. they were cautious, they listened to what you said, and they booked their holidays and one of the reasons they felt emboldened to do that, following the rules, was that you said there would be a watchlist which would be the early warning indicator that the government had concerns about the country, which would give them that buffer and gave people the confidence to go. that system has disappeared, and a decision has been taken very quickly. was that fair to those people who tried to stick to the rules? i people who tried to stick to the rules? ., , , . ., people who tried to stick to the rules? . , , . ., ., rules? i appreciate that those eo - le rules? i appreciate that those people will — rules? i appreciate that those people will be _ rules? i appreciate that those people will be frustrated - rules? i appreciate that those people will be frustrated and | people will be frustrated and disappointed. we always said that we would review the countries on the lists every three weeks, that is

what has happened right now. we are also seeing that events are moving quite quickly. positivity is rising fast in portugal, at a much higher level than we see here in the uk. and also this new mutation. so we have chosen to be careful, to take it off the green list. people do have until tuesday to return to the uk, i appreciate that not everybody�*s will be ending this weekend and there is a choice for people to come home sooner than they would have anticipated. i know that thatis would have anticipated. i know that that is difficult. when we are coming up to an important decision as a country, whether to do the next phase of the reopening on the 21st ofjune or not, it is important now for us to be careful, not to jeopardise the progress we have made and do everything we possibly can to set the country up for a further reopening. set the country up for a further reopening-— set the country up for a further reopening. you have referenced ourself, reopening. you have referenced yourself, there _ reopening. you have referenced yourself, there is _ reopening. you have referenced yourself, there is a _ reopening. you have referenced yourself, there is a moment - reopening. you have referenced yourself, there is a moment in l reopening. you have referenced - yourself, there is a moment in time now where potentially there will be a rush of people trying to get back to avoid quarantine. where is the caution or the sense in that, as a

government policy? because you have set a deadline and people can get back from a place that you have already deemed to be dangerous, potentially bringing back risk into the uk. so given the approach you are taking on the caution, why do you not bring in immediately the quarantine rules for anyone arriving from portugal?— from portugal? well, we think it's sensible to _ from portugal? well, we think it's sensible to give _ from portugal? well, we think it's sensible to give people _ from portugal? well, we think it's sensible to give people a - from portugal? well, we think it's sensible to give people a period i from portugal? well, we think it's| sensible to give people a period of time to return home to the uk. they have got until tuesday to do so. that's designed to help people come backin that's designed to help people come back in an orderly manner, do not see scenes at airports where people are crowded together. there are risks involved in creating that sort of situation. but we have taken a cautious approach by taking portugal of the green list, putting it back onto the amber list. i think that's the right thing to do to protect the public. i appreciate the people will be frustrated by that. but overall we had to take a careful approach

right now because there has been such good progress domestically, let's not put that at risk if we can avoid it. ., , ., ., ., avoid it. you will be aware of the government _ avoid it. you will be aware of the government criticism _ avoid it. you will be aware of the government criticism has - avoid it. you will be aware of the government criticism has come l avoid it. you will be aware of the i government criticism has come into in connection with india, and bearing in mind we are talking about the delta variant, the indian variant now, that delay and allowing that rush of people to come back before quarantine was brought in. i thought we were trying to learn lessons along the way. that thought we were trying to learn lessons along the way.- thought we were trying to learn lessons along the way. that is why we are taking _ lessons along the way. that is why we are taking this _ lessons along the way. that is why we are taking this cautious - we are taking this cautious approach. you can't have it both ways. we are taking a cautious approach, that means that where we see signs that are of concern, we take countries of the green list and, and then amber can go to read if things are a serious issue. —— can go to the red list. we have always said we will give people an orderly period of time to return to the uk to bring their holidays or travel to a conclusion. the very strong message from us today is you should not be going on holiday to any country on the red or amber list

right now. i personally would not book any holidays in the future of the countries on those lists. be careful, be cautious, there remains a small number of countries on the green list. even there if you are booking holidays, be careful, speak to your operator, see that there is flexibility in case you need to change plans later on this summer. just a point of information for people. they will be aware that michael gove was one of those who went to portugal to see the champions league cup final. is he now self isolating?— now self isolating? yes, i believe so. i now self isolating? yes, i believe so- i haven't _ now self isolating? yes, i believe so. i haven't spoken _ now self isolating? yes, i believe so. i haven't spoken to _ now self isolating? yes, i believe so. i haven't spoken to michael i now self isolating? yes, i believe i so. i haven't spoken to michael but i believe he is self isolating, and testing regularly before he returns to the office and meets other people once again. 50 to the office and meets other people once aaain. .,, , once again. so he was pinged, because we — once again. so he was pinged, because we know _ once again. so he was pinged, because we know now - once again. so he was pinged, because we know now that - once again. so he was pinged, because we know now that a i once again. so he was pinged, - because we know now that a number of people on those flights coming back,

football fans were pinged by the tracing system, he was one of those, is that right? i tracing system, he was one of those, is that right?— is that right? i believe so, i have only heard _ is that right? i believe so, i have only heard the _ is that right? i believe so, i have only heard the reports, - is that right? i believe so, i have only heard the reports, i - is that right? i believe so, i have only heard the reports, i haven't| only heard the reports, i haven't spoken to michael. it sounds as if this system has worked correctly, he was pinged, he self isolated, and he will be testing before he comes back into the workplace as we should all do in that situation.— into the workplace as we should all do in that situation. given what has ha--ened do in that situation. given what has happened there. — do in that situation. given what has happened there, he _ do in that situation. given what has happened there, he is _ do in that situation. given what has happened there, he is following - do in that situation. given what has| happened there, he is following the procedures and it worked though he did get the alert, i wonder whether your advice now, one is a stipulation, another i imagine given the are talking —— caution you are talking about, is your advice now, it could be those football fans coming back then or people coming back from portugal in the next few days, that regardless of what the requirements are in terms of quarantine, the cautious and

sensible thing to do would be to self impose home quarantine anyway, regardless of what you are required to do, would you like people to do that by way of caution?— that by way of caution? that's not the advice that _ that by way of caution? that's not the advice that we _ that by way of caution? that's not the advice that we are _ that by way of caution? that's not the advice that we are giving. - that by way of caution? that's not the advice that we are giving. you don't have to do that. but as you say, it is incumbent on all of us to take precautions if we can. i think it would certainly be good advice to get tested, there is enough testing capacity for all of us to get tested regularly so anyone returning can and should get tested as we all should do regularly. i and should get tested as we all should do regularly.— and should get tested as we all should do regularly. i want to ask about what _ should do regularly. i want to ask about what we _ should do regularly. i want to ask about what we are _ should do regularly. i want to ask about what we are learning - should do regularly. i want to ask about what we are learning about j should do regularly. i want to ask - about what we are learning about the indian variant. we know the terminology is changing, it is now called the delta variant. we are seeing exponential rises in the number of cases, 76% rise across the space of a week, how concerned are you as a government about what that is showing? you as a government about what that is showina ? ~ ,

you as a government about what that is showinu? ~ , . is showing? well, it is concerning, it is becoming _ is showing? well, it is concerning, it is becoming increasingly - is showing? well, it is concerning, it is becoming increasingly clear i it is becoming increasingly clear that the indian variant, will over time become the dominant variant here in the uk. as we saw last year with the kent variant. this is something going to have to be handling and managing as best as we possibly can in the months ahead. that's one of the reasons why we need to be particularly careful about further mutations that we see emerging in other parts of the world like the so—called nipple variant thatis like the so—called nipple variant that is prevalent in parts of portugal nepal variant. as you stand talking to us today, we have a delta variant, the infection rate is growing at a substantial rate, there are serious questions and some evidence that is leading to increased hospitalisation and increased hospitalisation and increased risk about that varied, on top of which, effectively you cannot go on holiday anywhere because the

associated risks. where currently is the thinking around the 21st ofjune date, bearing in mind the information you have right now? we have information you have right now? , have managed to navigate through the road map so far because people have been going to great lengths to abide by the rules, because of the success of the vaccine roll—out. we are in the tremendously privileged position in the country where 50% of adults have had both jabs, 75% or more have had at least one, i got my first last week. we need to be very cautious. the prime minister is reviewing the data right now, a decision will be made on or around the 14th ofjune. so there is still some time to see how much more progress we can make with the vaccine roll—out, what the data is leading us to, before we need to make a final call on the 21st of june. we would all love to move forward and take that further step with the extra reopening and the support for businesses and livelihoods that would come with

that extra reopening, but at the moment i think it is too early to judge that. we are going to be cautious, look at the data and come to a conclusion in ten days. i cautious, look at the data and come to a conclusion in ten days.- to a conclusion in ten days. i know ou are to a conclusion in ten days. i know you are in your— to a conclusion in ten days. i know you are in your location _ to a conclusion in ten days. i know you are in your location for- to a conclusion in ten days. i know you are in your location for a - you are in your location for a reason this morning, this is to do with the government announcement to do with housing, tell us a little more about this, it is to do with first—time buyers of new—build houses? first-time buyers of new-build houses? . ., ~ , ., ., first-time buyers of new-build houses? . ., ., houses? yeah, thank you for asking. i am in bolsover _ houses? yeah, thank you for asking. i am in bolsover this _ houses? yeah, thank you for asking. i am in bolsover this morning, - houses? yeah, thank you for asking. i am in bolsover this morning, we i i am in bolsover this morning, we are launching our new first homes, these are discounted homes for first—time buyers, and for key workers like nhs workers, veterans, and police officers. first—time buyers will be able to get up to 30% discount on new—build homes like the ones behind me here in bolsover. once they have moved in, those discounts will be locked into those properties in perpetuity so not only do they benefit, but generations of young people and key workers will be able to fit in the future as well. it is one way in which we hope to

get young people, more key workers onto the housing ladder. the are a range of other government schemes, you can go to own your home dot .uk to check that out. this will be rolled out across the uk in the months ahead. i rolled out across the uk in the months ahead.— rolled out across the uk in the months ahead. i want to ask you about the number _ months ahead. i want to ask you about the number of _ months ahead. i want to ask you about the number of buildings i months ahead. i want to ask you i about the number of buildings that are still clad in potentially flammable material. how many high—rise buildings currently are still clad? my question is not how many have begun the process, my question is how many still have cladding, for years after the grenfell tower fire? the cladding, for years after the grenfell tower fire? .,, grenfell tower fire? the most unsafe form of cladding _ grenfell tower fire? the most unsafe form of cladding that _ grenfell tower fire? the most unsafe form of cladding that was _ grenfell tower fire? the most unsafe form of cladding that was on - grenfell tower fire? the most unsafe form of cladding that was on the - form of cladding that was on the grenfell tower, 93% of buildings have had that removed all workers are on high to... i

are not stepping up and paying, we hope that they should do because they should as a polluter, but we are then putting the money behind that to help those leaseholders get the cladding of and move on with their lives. the cladding of and move on with their lives-— their lives. just to confirm, as it stands now. _ their lives. just to confirm, as it stands now, what _ their lives. just to confirm, as it stands now, what percentage i their lives. just to confirm, as it stands now, what percentage of buildings still have that cladding on? as in, what percentage has had the work completed, four years after grenfell? oi the work completed, four years after grenfell? �* ~ the work completed, four years after grenfell? ~ ~ . ., grenfell? of the acm cladding, the most dangerous _ grenfell? of the acm cladding, the most dangerous form, _ grenfell? of the acm cladding, the most dangerous form, about - grenfell? of the acm cladding, the most dangerous form, about a - grenfell? of the acm cladding, the | most dangerous form, about a third of the buildings have had it completed, the completions are happening every day because we expect that to be finished as a job in six months. so you will be seeing very rapid progress, these are quite significant processes. mr; very rapid progress, these are quite significant processes.— significant processes. my final thought is. — significant processes. my final thought is. if— significant processes. my final thought is, if i'm _ significant processes. my final thought is, if i'm following - significant processes. my final| thought is, if i'm following you correctly, 70% of buildings have not had the work completed four years

alexander—arnold was confirmed to be out of the euros. there was so much debate about the right —— the back for and gareth southgate, and now thatis for and gareth southgate, and now that is confirmed. defender trent alexander—arnold has been ruled out of the tournament. a scan has revealed that the injury he picked up in the friendly win over austria on wednesday night was a quad muscle tear. he's expected to be sidelined for around six weeks. alexander—arnold was one of four right—backs included in gareth southgate's squad. a replacement won't be confirmed until after sunday's warm—up match against romania. his liverpool and england team—matejordan henderson tweeted his sympathy. he wrote: "gutted for trent alexander—arnold but he'll be back. lots of tournaments ahead of him." meanwhile, former england striker gary lineker said england were losing the best attacking right back in world football. northern ireland were beaten 1—0 by ukraine in a friendly last night. having seen off malta on sunday, ian baraclough's side couldn't build on that win,

with oleksandr zubkov scoring after only ten minutes for the hosts, who are preparing for the euros. the republic of ireland recovered from a goal down to beat andorra 4—1 in another friendly. it's manager stephen kenny's first victory after 12 games in charge. england trail new zealand by 267 runs going into the third day of the first test at lord's. the tourists' total of 378 includes 200 from devon conway, who became only the seventh man to make a double century on his test debut. in reply, england wobbled, but skipperjoe root and rory burns, the latter with a half century, have led the fightback. england will resume on 111—2. i'm really pleased the way we fought back. 130—7, something like that today, from our bowling attack, was fantastic. got us back into the game which was really important because new zealand could put a really big score on that first innings and then it would have been tough. as it is, it was still a good score,

i think, on that pitch. and having lost the early wickets, we were under pressure so a really good partnership from rory burns and joe root there. in golf, england's mel reid shares the clubhouse lead at the women's us open in san francisco, after a four—under—par score on the opening day. reid's looking for her first major win and she shares the lead with a 17—year—old american, high schooljunior megha ganne. she became the first amateur in 15 years to have a share of the lead after any round at the us women's open. ganne made back to back birdies on the back nine to join reid on four—under—par. 17 years old, she must have started very young with some cutdown clubs! best way start, fabulous. iilice very young with some cutdown clubs! best way start, fabulous.— best way start, fabulous. nice day for aolf. best way start, fabulous. nice day for golf. fabulous. _ best way start, fabulous. nice day for golf. fabulous. perfect, - best way start, fabulous. nice day for golf. fabulous. perfect, thank| for golf. fabulous. perfect, thank

saying one of the last industry is yet to open, nightclubs, is not on the agenda in wales. from monday, alert level one for quite some time. thank you very much. a statue of the 17th century slave trader edward colston — that was toppled during an anti—racism protest — will go on public display in bristol today. it is in a museum close to where it was thrown into the city's harbour. covered in graffiti and damaged from being dragged along the street, it is unable to stand and so is being presented lying down. the american airline, united, is planning to bring back supersonic passenger travel for the first time since concorde was taken out of service in 2003. the airline says it will buy 15 aircraft with the aim to start passenger flights in 2029. the developers say the planes will be capable of flying at more than 1000 miles—per—hour, and could cut the flight time from london to new york in half.

that is kind of irrelevant at the moment. it is. when i said 2029, i was thinking that is a long time ahead. it is not really. if you discount the last year at this year, it is no time at all. how is the weather on a friday morning looking ahead to the weekend. bring some up mizzen. i had my cynical mood. it is coinciding with the cloudy picture. it is a sunny start across many parts of the uk. this is the isle of wight this morning. the rain moving in. this area of rain is pushing on across south—east england, spreading north into east anglia stop the further east you are there could be heavy, even thundery bursts. after a

sunny start, some patchy cloud building. there could be the odd spot of rain and a few showers. in the east of scotland there could be sunshine stop in to south—west england may be an isolated shower. a little cooler than it has been stop a few spots and into the low 20s. you may catch a shower in northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures in the coolest, clearest rural spots will head down into single figures. into the weekend, it will be cloudy but brightening up. a few showers in the west of scotland that hit and miss. many places with their sunny spells, they will be around again on sunday with similar temperatures to this.

over the past few years here on breakfast, we've been following the progress of the british normandy memorial being built, overlooking what was once known as gold beach. this weekend the memorial will open, to mark the 77th anniversary of the d—day landings. it honours more than 22,000 men and women who lost their lives there in the summer of 1944, and breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been hearing some of the stories from that historic day. ken peppercorn was born and based in cambridgeshire but was serving with the royal scots when he landed in normandy on d—day. it was all life jackets soaked in blood and the sea was all red with blood and that really, you know, put you off a bit. i thought to myself, "well, i'm here, i've got to keep going." he was just 22 years old when he attempted his first precarious steps on to what was codenamed gold beach.

i slipped off the side of the ramp into a bomb hole. went under the water and i kept walking till i kept my head above the water. came out and i walked up the dunes and ifound a big hole. i got in that because bullets and shells were flying over the top all the time, and i was so hungry, i thought to myself, "well, if i'm going to die, i'm not going to die hungry." so i got my tin out, what they call k—rations, poured water on it and i made myself some porridge. ken last returned to the normandy coast two years ago for the 75th anniversary. during the invasion, he was wounded and captured. he still has the shrapnel that was removed from his leg. with the allies advancing, he was crammed onto a cattle truck bound for a prisoner of war camp. i was asleep inside of the truck.

the french civilians would bring a bottle of wine. and of course i got my steel helmet and i'd tie my belt round it and lowered it down. they poured it into my hat and i didn't spill a drop. i pulled it up. it's surprising what you do. i managed to get a drink. later, when on a forced march, he managed to escape and found his way to the safety of an american unit. along with the veterans, families of those who fought and died liberating normandy will attend a commemoration of the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire to watch a video link from france as the normandy memorial has its official opening. chris bates will be there. his uncle sidney, nicknamed basher, is the only victoria cross recipient featured on the memorial. a brave man like all of them are.

they were all brave men. whether they win a medal or not... his action, i'm told, did save the situation. chris remembers his uncle's story being told in one of his boyhood comics and, decades on, says it's vital we remember. two or three times a year i spend a weekend, week if i can, over there, travelling around, paying my respects, just so our [ads are being visited. it gets a bit emotional. you know, that's how it is. there's a lot of young men out there. it's good that we should remember them and keep visiting them wherever we can. of the 22,442 names carved in stone, four were just 16 years old. robertjohns, known as bob, had run away from home and signed up aged 15. one of his older brothers had

already been killed in the war. his niece reads from bob's last letter home. "i'll be home for my birthday, i hope so. the weather here is lousy. it seems to rain most of the time. last night i got wet. boy, was i fed up!" i know my gramps kept his letter folded in his wallet until his dying day. it meant that much to him. just a boy but his courage belied his youth. when i got his service record, i found out he was 5 ft 3.5 inches, and 125 lbs, so nine stone, roughly. so he must have looked like a lad, really. harry rode the bike through northern france to raise money for the memorial and had a sneak preview, managing to find his father's name immortalised on its walls. i did expect it. i knew it was there. it was still a revelation. it was still quite something.

emotional, would you say? yes, very emotional. yeah. i'm an emotional person, so it doesn't take much. it was quite something. it really was. here at the national archives are the original wartime documents. a valuable resource that formed just part of the research byjane furlong, who spent more than nine months determining and double—checking every single name on the memorial. it might be a name mentioned in stone. behind each name is a story. you can see the memorial itself is ordered by date. so that what you can do as you are going round the memorial itself, you can follow the tide of battle. so you will see naturally the 6th ofjune, huge numbers of casualties on that day. as you go round the memorial, you will see other elements. some days were quieter than others, some days there were more casualties than others. as you are walking round, you can get a visceral feel for that, as you're physically

walking around it. those not on the walls, the ones who made it home, were fortunate, says eric strange. he was a young sublieutenant in charge of beach landing craft. he still has his boots from 1944 and has also been back to normandy in recent years. i was lucky. i was with the landing craft at the time. it was very rough, actually, onjune the 5th and 6th, very rough. i got picked up and dropped off sword beach. the rest of the lads had to go over on their own steam, which was a bit naughty. 40 foot open barges. it wasn't a quiet evening at all, very rough sea. our biggest worry was we had no food. we had a box of so—called rations but they disappeared. it was important for you to have gone on those trips and hopefully you will go on more. it was a helluva thing to happen.

it's something to keep in your mind in a way. it's all a long time ago. such was the scale of d—day, the brutality of war and the loss of so many on both sides, including civilians. those who survived say they do feel lucky. and to this day, talk of the duty they feel to tell the world of their experiences in an attempt to prevent such loss of life from ever happening again. john maguire, bbc news. you can see how much it means to so many. we're joined now by lord peter ricketts, the chairman of the normandy memorial trust. it is such an achievement this being built. i know it matters to so many people. he had been in unless since the very beginning. how have you seen it develop and how have you

seen it develop and how have you seen it develop and how have you seen it matter? —— you have been. 50 seen it matter? —— you have been. ’sr many families seen it matter? —— you have been. sr many families have come forward to tell personal stories of their loved ones. we have been able to publish many of them on the app we have recently made available, which allows people not only to have a virtual tour of the memorial to see so many personal stories. it has not been easy. two years ago, the bbc breakfast south of better for the inauguration of the statue at the centre of the memorial. —— sofa was there for the inauguration. we have managed all the obstacles of the pandemic and so on. the memorial is finished and looks wonderful. so sad the opening ceremony is not one where veterans and families from the

uk can be. we will do our best by broadcasting the ceremony from the memorial in france into the staffordshire memorial, where so many veterans and families are gathered, so they will feel they are taking part in some way in the small opening ceremony we will be holding. i was there a couple of years ago on the sofa and there is a sense of eerie calm and respect. even if you are not there, all the veterans will know this healing. the are not there, all the veterans will know this healing.— are not there, all the veterans will know this healing. the memorial are set aside from _ know this healing. the memorial are set aside from the _ know this healing. the memorial are set aside from the village _ know this healing. the memorial are set aside from the village and - know this healing. the memorial are set aside from the village and the i set aside from the village and the car park will stop —— this feeling stop it is wonderfully tranquil and a place for reflection. it looks down over gold beach, dating home towards the uk where so many young men landed and died. —— facing home. there is a recognition that what

couldn't afford it at the time and said she'd have to wait until the day the team won the fa cup. sadly he died before they lifted the trophy last month. kathryn stanczysyn takes up the story. it was a long wait but it was worth it. he used to say it every time. you'll get your ring when city win the cup. in 1948, cecil angel proposed to his sweetheart, margaret. money was tight so the deal was a proper engagement ring when his beloved leicester city won the fa cup. i never thought i'd get one, to be honest. they got to the final so many times, and i never got my ring. over the decades, margaret got her hopes up on four occasions but it wasn't to be until now. so how does that hand feel, margaret, with a sparkler like that on it now? it's wonderful. have you taken it off yet? no. i haven't taken it off yet. never will. i'm not going to take it off either. sadly, cecil is no longer around to see the football moment he'd always longed for but his son, mike, decided to step in and honour a promise — a ring his mum deserves and his dad would have wanted her to have. loved his football, loved his sport,

loved cricket, rugby. followed leicester, leicestershire with absolutely everything. loved his family. good joker. great sense of humour. it'sjust a matter of whether we're all alive for leicester city to win it. yeah, they've made it. 73 years later but they've done it. last week we told the angel family story and it turned out a certain football club was watching. they decided margaret should have another surprise. hello, margaret. i've got something really special to hand over to you. _ i think you probably know what this is, don't you? i that's beautiful. so margaret, would you like to just tap the fa cup with that promise i that your husband and you made? the gold united with the silverware. i've been waiting for this for a long time, so thank you all. they've made my dream come true. fantastic. i didn't imagine anything like this would happen. but to have the fa cup in your garden with your mother and just looking at a 96—year—old

this. yes, whether holidays are delayed or cancelled. it all relates to the traffic light system that was introduced across the uk last month in an attempt to restart foreign travel. a reminder: the amber and red lists cover most of the world, including all the main holiday destinations. the government says people shouldn't be travelling to these countries for holidays. if you do have to, you'll need to quarantine when you get back. leisure travel is permitted to countries on the green list. but for now, that's just a handful of countries and getting smaller. you won't have to quarantine but need to take a test before you leave and once you get home. and here's where things have changed. yesterday, the government said that portugal will be removed from the green list from tuesday. for the past three weeks it's been one of the only european hotspots able to welcome travellers without the need to self—isolate when they get back. so the news means thousands of holiday—makers will have to change their plans. lauren and her partner were due to fly to lisbon next week.

well, we've had a look and it seems like we can't cancel our flight and get a refund, which was our risk to take, and we gladly took it, sad it worked out this way but it is what it is. we can pay 90 euros to move them to later on in the year. to be honest, we feel slightly sketchy about that. it feels just like something could go wrong then as well and then you'd pay end up paying another 90 euros and another 90 euros. you know, i have to say, it's quite off—putting. it's not just holidaymakers. it's also a big blow to the hospitality industry in portugal. it adds a whole new layer of uncertainty. i think people will now be reconsidering whether they book certainly theirjuly holiday, hopefully they still think about coming in august but i believe we have to wait another three weeks now to see what the british government decides to do about portugal by the end ofjune. and in the algarve,

especially where we are based, our summer season is pretty short. it's reallyjune, july, august and september. so we really heavily rely on people coming in those months. the government also added eight more countries onto the no—go red—list and crucially no new destinations added to the green list. many holiday destinations like malta, the canary islands and the balearics were hoping to be included. it leaves holiday—makers with very few options. the list will be reassessed in three weeks. so what does all of this mean for foreign holidays this year? we can talk to michael o'leary, chief executive of ryanair. good morning to you. good morning. last time we spoke you said you were putting on 175,000 extra seats to portugal this summer, what is the announcement mean for that? taste portugal this summer, what is the announcement mean for that? we will still 0 erate announcement mean for that? we will still operate the _ announcement mean for that? we will still operate the seats, _ announcement mean for that? we will still operate the seats, we _ announcement mean for that? we will still operate the seats, we have - still operate the seats, we have told the passengers that worked with

ryanair that if their plans change, they will not get a refund but they can move their bookings to later in the summer. what upset most of the rest of the industry yesterday was this decision to move portugalfrom green to amber isn't based on any science or health, portugal has the same low rates as the uk, it has 30% of people vaccinated, and we don't understand why we are expecting our vaccinated systems coming —— citizens coming back from portugal to quarantine when they come back. it is more mismanagement of the covid recovery by thejohnson covid recovery by the johnson government, causing unnecessary disruption and stress for hundreds and thousands of british families. the first thing i want to get to is some of the logistics here. you talked about people being able to book again for later in the year. i want to put some scenarios to you, the first, i am due to travel next

wednesday or thursday after portugal comes off of the green list, and i decide that i don't want to travel, because it is on the mls, what rights do i have to get my money back? ii rights do i have to get my money back? , ., . rights do i have to get my money back? y., ., ,., ., ~' back? if you have booked with r anair, back? if you have booked with ryanair. you _ back? if you have booked with ryanair, you can _ back? if you have booked with ryanair, you can move - back? if you have booked with ryanair, you can move your. back? if you have booked with i ryanair, you can move your booking to later on in the summer. i have no doubt as vaccines continue to roll out the government will reverse its decision, portugalwill out the government will reverse its decision, portugal will be put back on the green list as it should be forjuly, august and september. just move your booking and go and enjoy your holiday in portugal later in the year. your holiday in portugal later in the ear. �* , ,. ., ., the year. and the second scenario, if r anair the year. and the second scenario, if ryanair cancels _ the year. and the second scenario, if ryanair cancels the _ the year. and the second scenario, if ryanair cancels the flight, - the year. and the second scenario, if ryanair cancels the flight, you i if ryanair cancels the flight, you don't think it will be worth running the flight, what happens if you cancel? ii the flight, what happens if you cancel? .., . the flight, what happens if you cancel? .. . , ., cancel? if we cancel the flight, you aet an cancel? if we cancel the flight, you get an instant _ cancel? if we cancel the flight, you get an instant e-mail _ cancel? if we cancel the flight, you get an instant e-mail allowing i cancel? if we cancel the flight, you | get an instant e-mail allowing you, get an instant e—mail allowing you, if we cancel it, you get an e—mail giving you the option of rebooking or a full refund of your money. it suggests you are still pretty confident about running a lot of these flights and these lights will 90. these flights and these lights will go, that suggests you are confident

germans and scandinavians, everyone is moving again, high rate of vaccination and low covid case rates. we have had to deal with occasional government mismanagement such as the removal of portugal from the greenness yesterday. also, not adding malta and the bill they have much lower covid case rates than its uk and malta has vaccinated more of its people. there is no reason why they should not have been added to they should not have been added to the green list. there will be short—term disruptions but by the end ofjune, july, august and september we see most of europe going back on holidays and british visitors will be welcomed back to the beaches of spain, portugal and greece on their ryanair flights. taste greece on their ryanair flights. we all need a holiday, i get that, but just two weeks ago, everyone says that restrictions —— mcgree said that restrictions —— mcgree said that everyone realised that the restrictions would be gone by the end ofjune, are you shifting or ——

cloudy day compared with the last view, into northern ireland and the far west of scotland. but in between, some sunshine brightening up, in the midlands, which is currently cloudy in the west. this is the picture in the afternoon, a few showers in north, north west scotland, a lot of fine weather in eastern and southern areas of scotland. northern ireland, cloud and hazy brightness, a few showers to be caught across north—west england into wales and south—west england, good sunny spells, very high uv, strong sunshine, south wales and south—west england. he will pick at an isolated shower in cornwall or devon but very hit and miss. this evening and into tonight we will see further, excuse me, further outbreaks of rain across parts of eastern parts of england, you will catch a shower in northern ireland and western scotland. elsewhere, long clear spells and you will dip down into single figures in

the coolest spots. the bigger picture shows there are some weather fronts trying to get in at the weekend but they will fizzle out and on sunday the high pressure becomes re—established across the uk. this is the weather on saturday, slow start in the east of england, cloud and patchy rain to be had, that will clear away and brighten up. across western areas there will be areas of cloud, you might catch the odd heavy shower in northern ireland and north west scotland in the afternoon, we may catch a shower later in the day towards the south—west wales and england. i am expecting some rain at the cricket at lord's today but over the cricket at lord's today but over the weekend it is fine today, —— it will be clear oh —— clear over the weekend. on sunday there will be some cloud, and may be a light shower. the vast majority of sunday will have a fine day and in those sunny spells with temperatures like this it will feel very pleasant indeed. thank you so much, it does look very pleasant indeed. let's go to the

sport now, this goes across a lot of sporting occasions, it is so sad, just before a major tournament, you haveit just before a major tournament, you have it with the world cup, major events, and a player gets injured. it is a week before colour it so cruel. —— week before, it's so cruel. —— week before, it's so cruel. yes, trent alexander—arnold arnold, at his peak of fitness. on the plus side, southgate had to slim down his squad to 26 players so he does have some players on the periphery waiting to be recalled. confirmation that trent alexander—arnold will not take part in the euros through injury. it's bitterly disappointing news for him, but also for england fans with just one week to go until the start of the tournament. a scan has revealed that the injury the defender picked up in the friendly win over austria on wednesday night was a quad muscle tear. he's expected to be sidelined for around six weeks. alexander—arnold was one of four right—backs included in gareth southgate's squad. a replacement won't be confirmed until after sunday's warm—up match against romania.

his liverpool and england team—matejordan henderson tweeted his sympathy. he wrote: "gutted for trent alexander—arnold but he'll be back. lots of tournaments ahead of him." england trail new zealand by 267 runs going into the third day of the first test at lord's. the tourists' total of 378 includes 200 from devon conway, who became only the seventh man to make a double century on his test debut. in reply, england wobbled, but skipperjoe root and rory burns, the latter with a half century, have led the fightback. england will resume on 111—2. britain's cameron norrie will play the reigning champion rafa nadal in the third round of the french open after coming from behind to beat lloyd harris of south africa. norrie lost the first set, but fought back to take the following three to reach the next stage. norrie is in great form having reached two finals in may and has now 25 wins under his belt this year. world number two rafa nadal cruised into the third round earlier

with a straight sets win over richard gasquet. the perfect way for nadal to celebrate his 35th birthday. it can often feel like football and betting goes hand in hand, with firms sponsoring team shirts and gambling adverts shown at half time. but in a new documentary, the former scottish conservative leader and lifelong dunfermline athletic fan ruth davidson hears from those whose lives have spiralled out of control from gambling. let's take a look. steven caulker was a rising star of the tottenham hotspur academy. in 2012, aged 20, he scored his first goalfor england. but at the same time, he was also battling a secret gambling addiction. so i will start with the fact that i take full responsibility for all of my actions. however, whilst gambling in the premier league, i was offered high incentives, by all casinos, really,

to go and play there. a 5—star hotel suite with you and your friends, you're offered the champagne on arrival, and i was able to sign cheques whilst extremely intoxicated. whilst gambling, my head was on another planet. very, very, very difficult to get up in the mornings. i was drowning in guilt. i was drowning in my addiction. ruth davidsonjoins us now from edinburgh. ruth, thank you very much for talking to us this morning. interesting to be talking to about something which isn't so but could be potentially. why was this a programme that you felt he wanted to make? i programme that you felt he wanted to make? .. . programme that you felt he wanted to make? ~ . , ., , make? i think after ten years in the olitical make? i think after ten years in the political front _ make? i think after ten years in the political front line, _ make? i think after ten years in the political front line, all _ political front line, all politicians have the stuff that grabs them that they have to do every day but they also have the stuff that is bubbling under the surface that the stories that they

feel ought to be told or get a bit more time and they get squeezed out. the way in which the relationship between gambling and football has got so close, and it is described in the programme at one point as a parasite which is beginning to take over the host because it is involved in sponsorship of the shirts and the grounds and of the broadcasts, and the ways that people start betting on football, the betting companies tried to get them onto fixed odds products like casino products because there is a greater return for the company. in every single bit of it. we had so much occupying us in the last few years in terms of the financial crash and then you had the financial crash and then you had the independence debate in scotland, brexit and kath covid, lots of stories that need told and have not had the attention they deserve. this is one of them and every time we peeled back a layer when we were filming this, we found another layer underneath. that i was shocked, there were things i found that making this film that i didn't know, and the sense of uneasiness i had
