at six — jetting off abroad becomes easierfor the double jabbed as the government changes its travel rules. from july 19th, anyone in england who's fully vaccinated can travel to an amber country without having to quarantine on return. it's lift off for the uk's travel industry as airlines start adding dozens more destinations for the summer. it is massive news and we should see a great you know pick up in bookings and many millions of customers who have been looking forward to going overseas, either on holiday or to visit family, can finally realise that and get away in time for the summer holidays. we'll have all the details. also tonight:

warnings of the significant pressure ahead on the nhs, as the uk's daily covid cases double in a fortnight to levels not seen since january. all spectators are now banned from tokyo's olympic games, after a state of emergency is declared as japan's covid cases rise. and celebrating all the way to the final, as england prepare to make history. and coming up on the bbc news channel: england's make—shift one—day team made an emphatic start to their first match against pakistan, as they eye victory in cardiff. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six.

in 11 days�* time anyone in england who is fully vaccinated against covid—19 can travel to an amber country without needing to quarantine on return. under 18s won't have to self—isolate either, meaning families can travel abroad this summer. the relaxation of rules will mean a big boost for the travel industry as people rush to book a last minute summer holiday. but, despite no quarantine, tests are still needed on return to england — pushing up prices. and a number of countries — like italy — still won't allow british travellers in without a period of isolation. here's our transport correspondent, caroline davies. the empty aircraft and quiet departure halls may soon be full of noise again. the announcement is the most significant change seen this year. from the 19thjuly, anyone vaccinated doesn't need to quarantine when they travel to an

amber country. but they will need to take another test on arrival. under 18s won't need to quarantine. five to 11—year—olds need to take a pcr test after they arrive. for now, this is only open to those jabbed in the uk. northern ireland has said it will do the same from 26thjuly. scotland and wales are yet to announce whether they will adopt the policy. it is the news many were desperate for. fix, policy. it is the news many were desperate for.— policy. it is the news many were desperate for. a week ago we had less than ten _ desperate for. a week ago we had less than ten destinations - desperate for. a week ago we had less than ten destinations that. desperate for. a week ago we had less than ten destinations that we i less than ten destinations that we could sell, now we have 85 destinations. we believe that testing needs to be the next thing that needs to be removed and there should be restriction free travel,

destinations like spain, portugal and greece. it all points to an uncertain summer ahead. let's talk to our political correspondent, chris mason. relaxing the rules is the boost the travel industry has been desperate for — there's still a lot of uncertainty though. yes, there is vast amounts of uncertainty as we and governments juggle uncertainty as we and governments juggle this latest stage of pandemic, managing risk, trying to restore liberties, juggling the practicalities. 35 million people have been double jabbed, but we have seen this soaring number of cases and the consequence of that here at home is that vast numbers are being pinged by the nhs app, the latest figures for the last week ofjune, a third of a million people were pinged and having to several isolate. the prospect is that will go isolate. the prospect is that will 9° up isolate. the prospect is that will go up and up to millions, because as we start to mingle more in england with the liberation expected a week on monday, more people will come

into contact with those who have tested positive and so more people will have to several isolate. this has prompted some barbed remarks from scotland's first minister suggesting england is something of an exception in its approach to liberalisation and the government here says it is trying to get the balancing act right. the reality is there is still a significant chance of catching covid, and an even greater risk it will shred your plans. greater risk it will shred your lans. ., ~' ,, the latest official figures show that in the past 2a hours — 35 deaths were reported — and 32,551 new infections were recorded across the uk. meaning an average of 28,209 new cases per day in the past week. 86,953 people received a first dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period. more than 45.6 million

people have now had their firstjab that's 86.6% of uk adults. 171,477 people have had their second dose. so more than 3a million people are now fully vaccinated that's 64.9% of uk adults. the number of people in hospital with coronavirus in the uk is at its highest level for three months. the boss of nhs providers — chris hopson — says he sees risks to relaxing lockdown restrictions, saying the decision will put "very significant" pressure on the nhs. the latest figures show that overall number of people in england waiting to start routine hospital treatment has risen to a new record high of 5.3 million people. our health editor, hugh pym reports. roz from leeds is finding that everyday life and work is a struggle because of her arthritis. she was referred for treatment by her gp in september and now it seems she would have waited for at least a year before

getting a hip replacement. i am in pain all the time and sitting down for any length of time is difficult which is very challenging for me because i am working at home in an administrative role. nhs england said the pandemic had caused huge disruption to routine care but the numbers like roz waiting more than a year had fallen back. overall hospital waiting lists are still rising. here they have drawn up plans to boost the number of operations they carry out. we are starting to make inroads into our backlog and we have seen our clinical teams step up and put on additional lists and work weekends and longer days. hospitals are doing all they tend to reduce waiting lists but they are very busy in most other departments as well and in some cases there are more patients coming through the door of a and e then there were before the pandemic. it all adds up to intense pressure on hospitals, just as covid—19 patient numbers

are going up again and there are warnings that though these are likely to be a lot less than at the peak injanuary, other kinds of care could be affected. if the numbers of patients who are covid—19 positive continue to go up, i can see a situation where we end up canceling planned elective operations again to make sure we look after those infectious covid—19 patients properly. non—urgent operations have already been postponed at the aberdeen royal infirmary and 2 other scottish hospitals because of mounting covid pressure and self isolation. the first minister said case numbers could be leveling off though she added that there could be some easing onjuly 19 that would not be the end of all restrictions. many of the baseline measures we use, things like face coverings and physical distancing and hand hygiene and good ventilation, these are going

to continue to be important mitigations in protecting ourselves and others from the virus perhaps for some time yet. in scotland, case numbers have been rising rapidly in newcastle and some other areas of the northeast and now ahead of the northwest as the main hotspots in england. euro 2020 football has been suggested as a factor, after research showing men where nearly a third more likely than women to test positive. whatever the reason that data will be watched closely ahead of final decision on ending restrictions in england. ministers in northern ireland have opted for a cautious route out of lockdown. the devolved government will ease many restrictions on july 26th, including opening theatres and conference venues, and allowing people to not wear masks in places of worship, but social gatherings will still be limited to 15 people in private gardens. stormont will consider easing all other measures next month.

there'll be no spectators at the olympics games in tokyo, after organisers decided to ban them because of rising coronavirus cases. the games — which have already been delayed by a year — start in two weeks' time. 0ur correspodent rupert wingfield—hayes is in tokyo. what a blow to fans and the atheletes. absolutely. i met with ticket holders for the olympics and they were getting excited to be going to the games. they will be very disappointed. forthe the games. they will be very disappointed. for the athletes, the games. they will be very disappointed. forthe athletes, it will be strange, we have never had an 0lympics will be strange, we have never had an olympics in stadiums that will mostly empty. i think the reason for this is because of the delta variant. japan's current regulations to try and control the virus are simply not working and case rates are rising rapidly in tokyo. in

addition, japan's vaccination rate is low, only 15% of the population have been fully vaccinated. the government has had no choice, but to impose a new state of emergency from next week and i think it is untenable to go ahead with a state of emergency and have tens of thousands of spectators going to stadiums. it is bowing to the enever tab. ., ~' , ., stadiums. it is bowing to the enever tab. . ,, ., , ., ,, tab. thank you -- inevitable. thank ou. the england team are back at their training camp in staffordshire after their thrilling win against denmark last night. gareth southgate's men secured their first place in a major final since the 1966 world cup in front of a crowd of 60,000 at wembley. their win sparked celebrations across the country that went on long into the night. they'll now face italy in the euro 2020 final on sunday evening. here's our sports editor, dan roan. # touching me... # touching you... wembley had rarely, if ever, witnessed anything quite like it.

amid scenes of euphoria, this what it meant to the players who'd ended england's long quest to reach a majorfinal. and to the fans, after so many years of disappointment. across the country, the same sense of elation and emotion. who'd have thought this, you know, like, six months ago, in the depths of the coronavirus pandemic? this is just what the country needed, absolutely brilliant. england in the final for the first time in... who cares how many years?! back inside wembley, meanwhile, the man whose revival of the national team is almost complete left to celebrate a historic win. i've not heard this new wembley like that ever, and to be able to share that with everybody and share it with everybody at home is very special. but earlier, what tension england had been forced to endure. 0n the spot for his country...

eventually needing harry kane's extra—time penalty, the captain's second attempt, to compete a rousing comeback against denmark. delight for england, although not without controversy — replays suggesting a laser pen has been pointed from the stands at goalkeeper schmeichel, uefa issuing charges against the fa. but after 55 years of hurt, this a result that meant everything. i so want to do it for the people at home, you know, the messages i've been getting, seeing the reactions, the crowds, you know, i'm a fan as well, so to see that, i wish i could be there with them cheering! but yeah, what a night, and we've got to soak it all up. and for one lucky fan, last night was extra special. england midfielder mason mount giving this youngster a gift she couldn't believe and will never forget. last night's coverage, meanwhile, was viewed by peak tv audience of 27.6 million, the most watched football match ever shown in the uk on a single channel.

imagine what sunday's final against italy could generate. this is going to be an incredibly tight game, because they're superb opposition, the italians, they haven't lost for 33 games, and whatever standard of football you're playing in, that is impressive. back at st george's park, england training today ahead of the biggest game of these players�* lives. win once more, and a first ever european championship will be theirs, along with sporting immortality. there had been hopes that more tickets may have been made available to the biggest england match since 1966 here at wembley, but today the government confirmed the attendance would remain a 60,000. england now they have already succeeded in shifting the national sporting psyche, theirfans shifting the national sporting psyche, their fans are convinced that football is coming home. what is certain is, it's never been

closer. dan roan, at wembley, thank you. last night's victory over denmark marked another high point for england's squad of young, emerging superstars. this talented and diverse team of players have quickly established themselves as role models for millions of supporters. ashleyjohn—baptiste has been speaking to some of the fans about what the team represents to them. for england fans, last night's win was nothing short of euphoric. and for supporters from ethnic minority backgrounds, the diversity of the england squad is proving a symbol of unity and pride. seeing saka, seeing sterling start, representing our culture, i think it's incredible. to see immigrant black players play at the euros, i feel like it makes me really proud, because i know that it could be of us. but with the jubilation of yesterday's historic result, for some, it's bittersweet. i feel like every black and minority player is one bad game away

from racial abuse. footballers, the only way they can shut people up is on the pitch. and performing on the pitch isjust what england's been doing. for these fans, the significance of this england squad is in seeing players that look like them. my parents came from nigeria, my parents never came from england, i was just born here, so it makes me feel proud. it's given us something to relate to as well. it's a very diverse country, - so we're seeing that there's a lot of diverse players on the team, it's given us something - to be proud of. but with that pride also comes frustration. i think it's not right that people are booing the players for taking the knee, because after, if sterling or saka score, they will all be screaming their names. but when the down taking the knee for something that really matters, they're screaming boo, boo, boo. some people think it's bringing a political issue into football. what's political about it if they're standing for something that really matters? the issue of racism in football is not new.

england 1980 striker luther blissett, like raheem sterling, moved to london from jamaica as a child and admires how sterling and other players have navigated this age—old problem. i think all you can ever do is tell people honestly about how it affected you and the way that you see it, and he's done that, and by him coming out and saying it, it shows the way he has matured as a young man-— and almost within him and marcus rashford, i see how those two, they're like a newer version of what i had to go through, and one or two others like me. yet despite concerns, the reality that football may be coming home is a reason for everyone to be hopeful. come on, england! ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. the time is almost 6:20. our top story this evening: jetting off abroad this summer becomes easier for the double jabbed in england, as the government

changes its travel rules. and coming up, world number one ash barty is through to the women's final at wimbledon. she'll face karolina pliskova on saturday. coming up on sportsday on the bbc news channel, the latest on women's semifinals day, as ash barty books are a place in her first wimbledon final after a straight—sets win over the prime minister has set out details of britain's final military withdrawal from afghanistan. it's nearly 20 years since the uk and other foreign forces entered the country, in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks on the united states. there are concerns that the departure, led by the us, will leave the afghan government vulnerable to the taliban, who have been making gains in recent months. 0ur defence correspondent

jonathan beale reports. at one of the few nato bases left in kabul, the lowering of the union flag signalled the end of the mission. most of the 750 british troops who remained in the country have now returned home. time to reflect on the sacrifices made and to assess what they've achieved. no—one should doubt the gains of the last 20 years, but nor can we shrink from the hard reality of the situation today. the taliban are already advancing. but the prime minister still insisted britain wasn't abandoning afghanistan. i hope that no—one will leap to the false conclusion that the withdrawal of our forces somehow means the end of britain's commitment to afghanistan. millions more afghan children, including girls, are now in school. after 9/11, the government also says, the world is now safer —

the legacy of the last 20 years. gunfire but the afghan security forces are now on their own, and the taliban already control nearly half of the country. a57 british troops lost their lives, most here in helmand. 12 years ago was one of the bloodiest. these some of the faces of five soldiers who went out on one patrol and never came back. among them william aldridge, who'd just turned 18. his mother is still asking why. show me what we did achieve. i'd like to see with my eyes, what did we achieve? what was the sacrifice for? cos it's too high a price to pay. we had five killed and 35 wounded. from the company group, it was a total of ten killed and 50 wounded. richard steatfield also

served in sangin in 2010. he fears the exit of nato forces will open the floodgates of violence. anyone who looks at afghanistan, looks at the future of afghanistan, cannot see a situation where removing the forces that have kept the balance of peace in afghanistan is a good idea. it means that there will be bloodshed, and it is difficult not to see this as a strategic disaster. britain will retain a very small military presence to protect its embassy. but their war is now over — it's not for afghanistan. jonathan beale, bbc news. the chancellor has given his strongest indication yet that the government could break the so—called triple lock on pensions. 0fficial forecasts suggest that its link with earnings growth could mean the state pension rises by a bumper 8% next year. rishi sunak told the bbc any decision on pensions would be

"based on fairness for pensioners and for taxpayers." 0ur economics editor, faisal islam, joins me now. it would be a big move, is the government are likely to make it? the triple lock is designed to guarantee the annual value of pensions for millions of pensioners in britain, and it is guaranteed to go about 2.5% of the rise in earnings or the prices, if that is higher. despite the fact that last year inflation only went up by 0.5% and earnings were negative because of the pandemic, the basic state pension went about 2.5%. because earnings were negative last year, the rise that we forecast when it is reported in the autumn, it is heading to 7—8%. that would cost £3 billion, and it is perhaps not a real reflection of how innings have gone up in the economy, and so for that reason, some people have argued that reason, some people have argued that it shouldn't be given, it should be changed in some way. the

chancellor said about that there were questions about the earnings numbers and that it wasn'tjust about fairness for pensioners but fairness to taxpayers, bringing in the idea of affordability. so that is the biggest thing we have heard, that some sort of change or redefinition will be put in place. the author of a critical review into how the health service treated women with two drugs and a medical device which caused them or their babies harm says she is angry not enough progress to prevent future damage has been made. last year, baroness julia cumberlege's report made nine recommendations to support victims, but only two of them have been fully implemented. 0ur health correspondent anna collinson reports. three health treatments that ruined women's lives. last year a review rule that changes were needed. there are the women living with debilitating pain after having pelvic mesh fitted to treat incontinence. its use on the nhs is

there's the break! the second set went to a tie—break, and kerber was fighting to the end — not quite enough. it was a measure of the quality of this match that no—one on centre really wanted it to end, except perhaps the winner. ash barty is into the final! this is as close to as good a tennis match as i'll ever play, and i think angie definitely brought the best out of me today. you know, i'm incredibly proud of myself and my team, and now we get a chance on saturday to try and live out a childhood dream. the second semifinal was played between two women pushing themselves to new heights, and you can almost hear it out here. grunting. hmm! well, facing aryna sabalenka's serve can seem thankless. karolina pliskova tried, lost the first set 7—5. most points in this match were fierce and short, but some rallies did break free. fa ntastic stuff!

pliskova took the second set 6—4. seeded eighth, the czech player has power and control. she can serve too. third set, 6—4. at 29, pliskova is through to her first wimbledon final. her approach, she says, is super positive. well, that's her husband, and this is what it's all for. joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon. time for a look at the weather here's sarah keith—lucas. we have had some really active showers around through the course of today, and some of our weather watchers across eastern england have spotted lots of funnel clouds, such as this one in lincolnshire, a rotating column falling out of cumulonimbus clouds. the satellite image shows where we have had cloud, the radar showing heavy showers, cloudier skies for scotland and northern ireland, sunny spells for england and wales, heavy showers continuing over the next few hours,
