this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. the death toll from the floods in western germany and belgium rises to more than 150 as rescue teams continued to search —— search for hundreds of people still missing. european leaders blame the extreme weather on a climate change, and experts say that global warming makes torrential rainfall more likely. i'm here, live in western germany, and are one of the worst affected areas, where the army is in full recovery mode. a change to the quarantine rules for travellers to france, both double vaccinated people arriving back in england and wales, but they were still has to self—isolate. france

now says that those non—vaccinated must have a test within 2a hours of entering the country. proper vaccine centre is open in venues across england this weekend, in a push to get more people vaccinated before the country unlocks next week. 0lympics organisers announced the first case of coronavirus in the athletes�* village, six days before the tokyo games begin. hello and welcome if you�*re watching in the uk or around the world. rescue crews have been racing to find survivors after the floods that wreaked havoc in germany and its western neighbours. 153 people are so far known to have died across europe, 133 of them in germany alone.

hundreds remain unaccounted for and thousands are now homeless. thousands of residents of wassenberg, an area west of the german city of cologne, have been evacuated after a dam was breached by floodwater overnight. german officials say the country�*s flood warning system functioned as it was supposed to, but the amount of rain — and how rapidly it fell — was unforeseen. let�*s cross over live now to my colleague kasia madera who�*s in erfstadt in germany. in many ways, i guess it is only now possible for the authorities, for rescue crews, to begin assessing the true extent of what has happened? you are absolutely right, and as the waters are slowly receding, that level of destruction is becoming quite apparent. the security services, the rescue services were telling me a little bit earlier that just hours before this, this jewel

carriageway was completely submerged. the waters are slowly beginning to recede, so the levels of destruction are becoming incredibly apparent. this is, like i say, a dual carriageway, these are cars that are now being assessed for, well, the grim possibility that there are human remains there. there is a situation that is right now unfolding. it is a situation that is repeated across various parts of western germany. my colleague now explains. as the floodwaters receded in western germany, residents began counting the cost. achim hueck�*s home once stood here. it has been reduced to rubble, along with the owner�*s recently renovated fish farm, which was meant to fund his retirement. translation: i had “ust put another 35,000 b euros into the house in the last two weeks. everything, new water pipes laid. i still have to pay the bills. his neighbour built

this house by hand. he said he carried every stone here. he is lucky to have escaped with his grandchildren. translation: we went out over the roof here and then over - the other roof, and then they brought us down. there was water here all up to the top. if he had fallen in, he would have gone — there was such pressure. an hour away, these brothers have been helping out elderly residents. translation: what this massive amount of water did in one - hour is crazy. translation: you want to weep along with - them. you feel their pain and suffering. further south, close to the luxembourg border, the muller family have also started the long and arduous clean—up. translation: l have | to fight back the tears. we had done everything up so nice and all

at once, everything is gone. a lot of it will have to be built anew. it just hurts all over — it really hurts. it is still not clear exactly how many people are missing and without phone signal, communication is almost impossible. thinking of the people who are still missing, parents, grandparents, many didn�*t make it from their beds to the upper floors because it was that quick. we have to get help in order to save what can be saved, to free those still stuck in their homes, and then we will need support with the rebuilding ? it is an enormous catastrophe. around 1500 police, soldiers and emergency service workers have been deployed in germany to help, but with many bridges and roads rust away —— washed away, it will be days

that was the plan. i�*ve... the wedding has been delayed, it was supposed to be last year. and i�*ve booked everything 2a hours ago and now everything is changing, so quite disappointing. concern about cases in france of the beta variant of coronavirus, first discovered in south africa, have prompted the move. ministers stopped short of adding france to the red list, which requires enforced hotel quarantine. but the health secretary, sajid javid, said the government had always been clear it would not hesitate to take rapid action at the borders to stop the spread of covid—19. travel industry bodies accuse the government of a confused approach to international travel, though, and labour also criticised the change. really, the government has created chaos here. they made an announcement that double—jabbed people coming from amber list countries didn't need to quarantine.

now they seem to have changed their mind in relation to france. that's creating a fourth category, an amber list plus, if you like, which is creating chaos for the travelling public and the travel industry yet again. allowing adults who are fully vaccinated to avoid isolation on their return from amber list countries offers hope of a holiday for some, but the decision to make france an exception is a sign of uncertainty in government about how the pandemic will pan out. jonathan blake, bbc news. joining me now from france is a journalist and broadcaster, caroline frost, she is an anise at the moment. thank you very much for talking to us. moment. thank you very much for talking to us— talking to us. how long have you been the? _ talking to us. how long have you been the? for— talking to us. how long have you been the? for a _ talking to us. how long have you been the? for a fortnight. - talking to us. how long have you been the? for a fortnight. and i talking to us. how long have you i been the? for a fortnight. and did ou have been the? for a fortnight. and did you have any _ been the? for a fortnight. and did you have any sense _ been the? for a fortnight. and did you have any sense at _ been the? for a fortnight. and did you have any sense at this - you have any sense at this announcement was coming? i you have any sense at this announcement was coming? i get a tri this announcement was coming? i get a trip this summer _ announcement was coming? i get a trip this summer was _ announcement was coming? i get a trip this summer was something . announcement was coming? i get a trip this summer was something of| announcement was coming? i get a l trip this summer was something of a gamble, but i was as careful with —— as i could have been with my dates and arrangements, i came out, took a pcr test before i came here, very much happy to read that we would not

have to quarantine when returning next week, and of course, you do your sums, you make your decisions accordingly, and now of course, the news has come in as of last night that anybody returning after monday will be quarantining. in a way, knowing that is a little bit more of a relief, although yesterday, everyone here was on tenterhooks, whether we will be red listed, and are listed, i don�*t think anybody was hoping for a green, but certainly, when that news came in, a bit depressing, there was, could have been worse. there were hints we could be red listed. i�*m feeling relatively fortunate today, at least. ~ , ., ., least. when will you due to return home? -- — least. when will you due to return home? -- one — least. when will you due to return home? -- one were _ least. when will you due to return home? -- one were you? - least. when will you due to return home? -- one were you? i - least. when will you due to return home? -- one were you? i had i least. when will you due to return . home? -- one were you? i had made least. when will you due to return - home? -- one were you? i had made my lans, home? -- one were you? i had made my plans. according — home? -- one were you? i had made my plans. according to _ home? -- one were you? i had made my plans, according to the _ home? -- one were you? i had made my plans, according to the government - plans, according to the government guidance, for next saturday, so let�*s make a run for it, i�*m not going to hit the non—quarantine group of people, but i do know quite a few people running for the airport this weekend, because of that. the

sums for a solitary traveller like myself are not too horrendous, i�*ve done the sums, i was going to end up paying 230 with the promises we had, for the various tests, on day two, but the actual sum were now being 290 on day two and day eight, but the quarantining is the thing and it becomes the hassle at the other end of the journey. becomes the hassle at the other end of the journey-— of the “ourney. yes. let's talk about of the journey. yes. let's talk about those _ of the journey. yes. let's talk about those people _ of the journey. yes. let's talk about those people you - of the journey. yes. let's talk about those people you have | of the journey. yes. let's talk - about those people you have been chatting to come as you say, making a run for it. a stressful situation for them at having to make a decision fairly quickly.- for them at having to make a decision fairly quickly. yes. of course, decision fairly quickly. yes. of course. it _ decision fairly quickly. yes. of course. it is — decision fairly quickly. yes. of course, it is monday, - decision fairly quickly. yes. of course, it is monday, which i decision fairly quickly. yes. of - course, it is monday, which means anybody finding out last night, late friday evening, will had to completely reconfigure their plans, try and book those flights which were going up and up and up as you can in price, of course, running to get the necessary pcr tests before they can leave the country. i think there is an increase in the facilities to do that now the airport, here in nice, but there is

again, over loosening up international travel. of course, travel companies, we have had a horrific year of cause of the result of coronavirus, they will be furious and worried going forward and then of course, there is a huge inconvenience and concern for those travellers affected. find inconvenience and concern for those travellers affected.— travellers affected. and many in the travellers affected. and many in the travel industry _ travellers affected. and many in the travel industry spoke _ travellers affected. and many in the travel industry spoke about - travellers affected. and many in the travel industry spoke about needing j travel industry spoke about needing more support from the government, financial support from the government at this stage. i have to ask why didn�*t the government put france onto the red list? why create this amber plus, as some people are referring to it? that this amber plus, as some people are referring to it?— referring to it? that really muddies the waters- — referring to it? that really muddies the waters- it _ referring to it? that really muddies the waters. it is _ referring to it? that really muddies the waters. it is interesting, i referring to it? that really muddies the waters. it is interesting, to i the waters. it is interesting, to create a subcategory of the traffic light system. there has been speculation yesterday that france would move onto the redness, and suppose one thing to is that he would have been significant, diplomatically, to put france, one of our nearest neighbours and major travel destination on the redness, really tight, in terms of anyone who

can come from a red list country, from the united kingdom, so would have been a major diplomatic step, so i think it is a little bit of a middle ground. what the government is saying is the situation is bad enough to take the steps in france, but not so bad is to move it onto the redness. it would have been quite a significant —— pacific and classic step. quite a significant -- pacific and classic step-— quite a significant -- pacific and classic step. bulgaria has banned people from the uk travelling there because of the rising number of covid infections. the ban will come into effect on monday, the same day the countryjoins the british government�*s green travel list. pop—up vaccine centres are opening across england in shops and parks this weekend as part of an nhs "grab a jab" initiative. the vaccination hubs will be set up in primark stores, the tate modern and even at the open championship. the aim is to boost the vaccine uptake among young people ahead of monday when the majority of coronavirus restrictions are set to be lifted.
