hi, good morning. i'm victoria derbyshire, welcome to bbc news. here are your headlines: uk holiday—makers scramble home as portugaljoins the amber list from today. it is good that they are being cautious. but i think people should have been given a little more notice than just three, four days to get back, because it makes it quite stressful for people to make arrangements. if you are aged 25 to 29 in england you're being told you can now book your first covid vaccine — nhs england says we're "on the home straight". a warning that nhs and care staff in england are so burnt out that it has become an emergency. is that you? are you an nhs or social care worker in feeling overwhelmed or burned out?

you can get in touch with me on twitter @vicderbyshire, or on email at victoria@bbc.co.uk. days after suspending bowler ollie robinson, the england and wales cricket board is investigating a second england player for posting offensive material on social media in the past. it occurred when he was a teenager. police in australia say they've made hundreds of arrests in a sophisticated sting operation working with the fbi to tackle organised global crime, including acting on 20 threats to kill. bleep screaming. that woman had told the council her ceiling could collapse — and it did. that, by the way was the second time — we'll talk to her later.
9:02 am
new quarantine restrictions have come into force for passengers returning to england from portugal. the country has been moved from green to the amber list of destinations, meaning travellers must take two lab—approved covid tests while they self—isolate at home for ten days. thousands of british tourists were caught up in a scramble to get home before the deadline passed. richard galpin reports. just last month, portugal was put on the green list of countries by the uk government, british holidaymakers not needing to self—isolate on their return home. bookings surged. but last thursday, the government announced a series of changes for many countries, including portugal, which was put on the amber list. from this morning, holidaymakers will be required to pay
9:03 am
for at least two covid tests, while quarantining on their return home. as a result, people have been scrambling to get back to the uk before the deadline, with holidaymakers queuing to book flights. kirsty, who lives in london, says it's expensive. it's a massive inconvenience and obviously costs everyone a lot of money to have to come home and cut their holidays short. and with such short notice, i think, as well, is the main thing. in a way it's good that they're being cautious. but i think that people should have been given a little bit more notice than just three or four days to get back, because it makes it quite stressful for people to make arrangements. the cunningham family in hampshire is also dismayed. absolute joke. the social distance is brilliant. everything's under control. everyone's wearing masks everywhere, even on the beaches. you have to wear it outside and everyone abides by the laws. it's an amazing country and they're abiding by the rules much better than the english people are,
9:04 am
and i'm english and i'm embarrassed. so you think the british government have got it all wrong then? absolutely. i don't think they've got it all wrong. i think that was a very bad decision to change it to amber. we've just met some people who've had their flight cancelled and they've got to pay an extra £800. they've got children. it'sjust wrong. the government says it's acted because there's been a near doubling of positive covid cases in the last few weeks, and because of concerns of a mutation of the delta coronavirus variant. richard galpin, bbc news. our correspondent sanchia berg is at gatwick airport this morning. what have people been saying as they have arrived back? we what have people been saying as they have arrived back?— have arrived back? we have not had an fliuht have arrived back? we have not had any flight back— have arrived back? we have not had any flight back from _ have arrived back? we have not had any flight back from portugal - have arrived back? we have not had any flight back from portugal this i any flight back from portugal this morning, we expect one at ten, one at 11, we will see what people say. at these passengers now have to go home to quarantine for ten days, to

9:06 am
people, a lot of anxiety, a lot of rushing around, everybody wanted to get the last flights home before the 4am deadline this morning. arriving at gatwick was another experience, there were absolutely no checks actual, which was a real shock. i expected to spend a couple of hours at gatwick, that was not the case at all. the plane landed at 11, we walked straight through towards passport control, a border force official be shouting out, "if you have an exemption, go left, if you don't, go straight through to passports." showed my passport at the machine, went through and that was it. ~ ., ., i. the machine, went through and that was it. ~ ., ., ., , . was it. what would you have expected to ha en? was it. what would you have expected to happen? we _ was it. what would you have expected to happen? we had _ was it. what would you have expected to happen? we had to _ was it. what would you have expected to happen? we had to have _ was it. what would you have expected to happen? we had to have so - was it. what would you have expected to happen? we had to have so much l to happen? we had to have so much --aerwork to happen? we had to have so much paperwork in — to happen? we had to have so much paperwork in place _ to happen? we had to have so much paperwork in place to _ to happen? we had to have so much paperwork in place to fly _ to happen? we had to have so much paperwork in place to fly to - to happen? we had to have so much paperwork in place to fly to the - to happen? we had to have so much paperwork in place to fly to the uk l paperwork in place to fly to the uk that i expected the uk to be checking that i had my passenger

9:09 am
at a handful of pop—up sites like this, younger age groups have already been offered vaccines. from this morning, though, all those over 25 in england will start to receive a text message asking them to formally book an appointment. the government says the goal of vaccinating all adults with a first dose by the end of next month is now in sight. i'm sure that we've all been cheered by the images that we've seen of so many eligible young people coming forward and lining up to get the jab, showing that the enthusiasm for the jab is notjust the preserve of older generations. in england, 76.4% of adults have had a first vaccine dose. in scotland it's the same. in northern ireland, where it's just over 75%, all over 18s can already book a jab. that's also the case in wales, where 86.5% have already received that first dose, one of the highest rates in the world.
9:10 am
the fact it's opened up to everyone, i think, just means we can get to a state of normality quicker, and it allows bars and clubs, and even libraries and universities, to get back to normal sooner. as soon as we will be able to get it, we'll get it. so we're really looking forward to kind ofjust being able to do what we want to and travel a bit more. in england, nhs leaders say the decision to extend the roll—out to over 25s, comes six months to the day after margaret keenan was the first person to receive a covid vaccine outside clinical trials. there's still a way to go, and that's why this latest opening up is so important. so for our younger adults, when you get that text message, when you get that invitation, it is really crucial that you take that offer up, book yourjab, come and get it. even with the vaccine roll—out, the government says extra vigilance is still needed. it's thought the india,
9:11 am
or delta variant of the virus, can spread at least 40% more quickly than the older kent or alpha strain. of the 126 people admitted to hospital after catching it, only three had received two doses of a covid vaccine. so the message from scientists is to turn up to that second appointment if and when you're offered it. jim reed, bbc news. police in australia say they've made more than 200 arrests in a sophisticated sting operation against organised crime. police were able to monitor encrypted communications because the criminal underworld was using a messaging app that had secretly been developed by the fbi. the australian federal police commissioner explained the global reach of the operation. the operation has been enabled by the extraordinary smart individuals

9:22 am
is, and what it has uncovered? i guess wisden is where their coverage of cricket began, you can buy an almanac every year which lists statistics and has opinion pieces. like every media organisation, in recent times they have shifted online, this came via their online media outlet. it is complicated because they say the player in question was under 16 at the time the tweets were posted, they have rejected a lot of the tweet itself, including the identity of the player, so that it is an added complication —— they have redacted. all we have found from the ecb in reaction to that as they are investigating what they call historical offensive material. as you say, the context as we have olly robinson serving a suspension because of tweet he posted in the past, and the ecb's decision to suspend him because of that caused a
9:23 am
big reaction. you will be aware there were reactions to that decision which vary enormously in terms of their support and their criticism of the ecb's decision. olly robinson was 18 when he posted these tweets, this cricketer, and i suspect it is only a matter of time before his name out publicly, was between the ages of 12 and 16. i wonder if the reaction is different because of the age difference? some ofthe because of the age difference? some of the reaction _ because of the age difference? some of the reaction towards _ because of the age difference? some of the reaction towards olly - of the reaction towards olly robinson's suspension of people saying it is too harsh, i think this is paraphrasing what the government said, he was a teenager when he did that and he is now a man and everybody should be allowed to process of education, growth and maturity. reaction to that would be that if you are 18 you are allowed to vote, you are a man, you have come of age, you are an adult, but it different context if you are
9:24 am
under 18, it different context if you are under18, under16, it different context if you are under 18, under 16, for sure. it different context if you are under18, under16, forsure. i think some people might say this is the last thing the ecb and cricket need as they prepare for a test match in two days, i think the ecb are serious about what they are doing, trying to represent the diversity of cricket particularly as a sport within the uk and if they are on this process they had to follow it through, this may not be the last of these instances we come across. . ~' the last of these instances we come across. . ~ , ., canadian police are weighing terrorism charges against a 20—year—old man over what they say was a premeditated attack in the city of london, in ontario. four members of the same muslim family were hit by a car and killed. a boy aged nine, the family's only survivor, remains in hospital with serious injuries. courtney bembridge reports. love for all, hatred for none, read the signs at the scene. mourners came to pay tribute to a family of five run down while out for a walk.
9:25 am
a nine—year—old boy was the sole survivor. he remains in hospital with serious injuries. police say a 20—year—old canadian man was behind the wheel. he has been charged with four counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. police are calling it a hate crime. we believe that this was an intentional act, and that the victims of this horrific incident were targeted. we believe the victims were targeted because of their islamic faith. canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau tweeted to say he was horrified by the news. he went on to say, "to the loved ones of those who were terrorised by yesterday's act of hatred, we are here for you." the attack is the worst against canadian muslims since six people were killed in quebec city mosque in 2017. it's been incredibly terrifying for our community. and, i mean, these things just keep happening, both internationally and nationally.
9:26 am
the mayor of london has described the incident as mass murder, adding that such hatred has made the city question who it is. courtney bembridge, bbc news. nhs and care staff in england are so burnt out that it has become an emergency and risks the future of the health service, mps have warned. a highly critical report from the health and social care committee calls for immediate action to support exhausted staff who have worked throughout the coronavirus pandemic. the department of health and social care said it was doing everything to support the wellbeing of staff. we'rejoined now by lineremiah, a member of the royal college of nursing, and a nurse with 25 years experience, including in critical care and in emergency care. hello, liz. tell us about yourself, do you feel burned out right now? yellow micro i think i can speak on the behalf of the vast majority of

many unpaid carers are exhausted and at breaking point after looking after loved ones round—the—clock over the course of the pandemic — that's the stark warning from charities this morning. a survey by "carers uk" found that coronavirus had led to people losing an average of 25 hours of support per week, with nearly two thirds saying they didn't know how they could carry on without a break. jayne mccubbin has been speaking to some carers about their experiences. he can't do anything for himself. an absolute massive stroke on the 14th of november, 2019. you're having your tea. she needs complete support, emotionally and then physically. and it's all often against her wishes. go and do it, monica, shut the door. no, not today. will she hit me? will she pull my hair? that seems to have just become much, much worse, because it's the same every day.
9:44 am
for 43 years, judith has cared for her daughter, monica, who was born with profound brain damage. della's caring responsibilities for husband jim started in the months just before the first lockdown. and because of the pandemic, both families have had to struggle on their own. you haven't had any support? no. through any of the pandemic? nothing. are you exhausted? absolutely. sometimes i curl up on the sofa of an evening whenjim's watching tv, and ijust go...
9:45 am
..out. and then when i wake up, i'm disoriented. ithink, oh, heck, is it still today? have i still got my night shift to do? yeah, absolutely exhausted. tonnes exhausted. a survey on behalf of five charities for carers week, found that almost three quarters of carers haven't had any breaks from their caring role during the pandemic. over two thirds say their mental health has suffered. three quarters say they are exhausted. more than a third say they now feel unable to manage their unpaid caring role. how are you coping? a struggle. i've always worked. della's always worked. nothing now, nothing.
9:46 am
i'd be well dead without dell. she's me rock. judith's daughter hasn't left the house in over a year. the brilliant respite services they relied on closed because of the pandemic. they've just restarted, but only with a third of the hours available. come on you, come on. bring your bag. monica's world has shrank to a bedroom she increasingly locks herself in. when the support stopped, you're prompted to realise how much you just do depend on it. are you coming? i don't think so. have there been times, because of the pandemic, when you thought, i don't think i can carry on doing this? erm, there have been times, and some close friends have actually made that decision after 30 years of caring. because the service
9:47 am
has just fell apart? this has been too much forthem, and, erm... my friend, her son's gone into a care home and she's distraught. she cries herself to sleep every night. when was the last time you both went out then? eh, august bank holiday last year. that's months ago. bleak. yeah, yeah, proper bleak. but he's here. that's the main thing. it's a lifelong thing that you do because you love them. you love your sons and daughters. love sustains them, but charities say carers need and deserve more. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. there you go, sorted. that wasn't too bad, was it?
9:48 am
that was very moving. thank you for your messages on twitter. families are suffering and we are past crisis point. myself and colleagues are barely hanging on. so says she was in hospital during the pandemic, not covid related, but she says staff regularly fainted at the bedside, many were miserable, exhausted or leaving. it affects care. the will is there, but the bodies and minds are weak with the burden. deborah says she works with the police and there are also burnt out. i've seen many officers on the edge and mental health is becoming a problem. i am a pcso and ifeel health is becoming a problem. i am a pcso and i feel wrecked the whole time. thank you for those. the e—mail address is victoria at bbc.co.uk. the government said it recognises the "vital role" of unpaid carers during the pandemic, and that it would "continue to work closely with carer organisations to support them".

9:50 am
don't have them yet. we will speak to them in a moment, i hope. let me read you a little bit about what greater manchester police say. restorative justice can only take place with consent of both the victim and offender and can only be used in cases where a conviction has already been obtained. what do you think of that? i already been obtained. what do you think of that?— think of that? i 'ust find the whole think of that? i just find the whole thing remarkable, _ think of that? i just find the whole thing remarkable, really. - think of that? i just find the whole thing remarkable, really. given i think of that? i just find the whole | thing remarkable, really. given the nature of the offending of domestic abuse is manipulation, is about power and control and for me, having that contact with the perpetrator. they will use that to manipulate a victim and could potentially start the abuse back up again. in victim and could potentially start the abuse back up again. in terms of our the abuse back up again. in terms of your perpetrator. — the abuse back up again. in terms of your perpetrator, who _ the abuse back up again. in terms of your perpetrator, who was _ the abuse back up again. in terms of your perpetrator, who was jailed, i your perpetrator, who was jailed, would you ever consider wanting to talk to him afterwards? ida. would you ever consider wanting to talk to him afterwards?— talk to him afterwards? no, and i

9:52 am
perpetrator, but most of these perpetrators have personality disorders and they lack empathy. your perpetrator was convicted but actually he continued to contact you via phone he had smuggled into prison? so it was still trying to manipulate and control you? after manipulate and control you? after bein: manipulate and control you? after being convicted, _ manipulate and control you? after being convicted, while _ manipulate and control you? after being convicted, while on - manipulate and control you? its being convicted, while on remand waiting for the court date. and even following on from that, he has appealed every year he could, so 2016 and 17. he's written to people i know and is trying to smear me as a victim and say that the things i'm saying are lies, even though there was a unanimous guilty and the injuries speakfor was a unanimous guilty and the injuries speak for themselves. this is the lengths they will go to. timer;r is the lengths they will go to. they are master— is the lengths they will go to. they are master manipulators. stay there. detective superintendent gwynn dodd is from greater manchester police.
