the belarusian olympic athlete kristina timanovskaya has been granted a humanitarian visa by poland. she sought help from police at tokyo airport on saturday as belarusian officials tried to force her onto a plane home, after she criticised the team's coaches on social media. wildfires in turkey have killed eight people and destroyed large swathes of forest in the southwest. the european union has sent assistance and several other countries have sent fire—fighting aircraft to help. the requirement for people to quarantine if they are arriving in the uk from the us and most of the european union has been lifted. but strict rules will still apply for those who've been in france and several other countries. the afghan president has blamed the abrupt withdrawal of us troops for the deteriorating security situation. it's as a taliban offensive threatens three cities.

hello. green, green watch, amber, the now cancelled possibility of amber watch and red. if you get a bit lost in the traffic light travel restriction system, tomorrow's papers may help you out. if they can't help, our reviewers probably can. with me are rachel cunliffe, deputy online editor of the new statesman, and kieran andrews, political editor of the times scotland. tomorrow's front pages. let's get stuck in. the i leads with the government changing its mind over plans for a travel amber watchlist after pressure from tory mps and the travel industry. the story makes the front page of the telegraph too, which claims borisjohnson stepped in personally to scrap his own government's scheme.

meanwhile, the guardian says the head of thejoint biosecurity centre, which advises the government on travel rules, has quit. the paper claims this has left the organisation rudderless. the times carries a call from chancellor rishi sunak for young people to stop working from home and get back to the office for the sake of their careers. the daily mail wins headline of the day — pings can only get better — a reference to the changes to the nhs test and trace app, which will cut down the number of people it pings as a result of contact with someone who's tested positive for covid. the metro also has that story, underneath some quite fun pictures of team gb's latest gold medallists — the eventing team. more gold medals on the front of the mirror — it covers the triumphant return home of some of britain's olympic heroes, including adam peaty. finally, the sun reports on death threats received by the girlfriend of the england footballer jack grealish. she says she received 200 a day during the euros. let's get stuck in. we are going to start with the guardian newspaper, which does the travel story as well as a number of other papers. johnson

did just travel watchlist plan amid the chaos advisory body. at the advisory body, kieran andrews, the chaosis advisory body, kieran andrews, the chaos is a member which goes with watchlist. i chaos is a member which goes with watchlist. . , chaos is a member which goes with watchlist. ., , ., chaos is a member which goes with watchlist. . , ., , ., watchlist. i am 'ust glad you went through... — watchlist. i am just glad you went through... laughter _ through... laughter this is _ through... laughter this is a _ through... laughter this is a fascinating i through... laughter - this is a fascinating internal battle as much as anything in government about what direction the conservative party's uk government is heading in. the guardian says in its story here that, effectively, the treasury and the department for transport won out in the fight for greater simplicity, transport won out in the fight for greatersimplicity, i transport won out in the fight for greater simplicity, i suppose, transport won out in the fight for greater simplicity, isuppose, as opposed to greater caution over overseas travel. this is a real

movement by rishi sunak in particular and grant shapps. rishi sunak has been pretty overt that he was opposed to the barriers coming in for people travelling overseas, and it looks like he has won the day, and borisjohnson has a had to put on his own government's plans. and this will cheer the travel industry, will probably cheer consumers because it makes things just that bit simpler when you're deciding where you want to go and working out whether it is feasible or not and have a bit of a clear direction from government, but it comes with the warnings about whether things are opening up too quickly, and that is a debate that will rage,

particular people peering at rates of coping and other countries. the daily telegraph, rachel cunliffe, has the same story on its front page with what might be a simmo that it had like to borisjohnson. with what might be a simmo that it had like to boris johnson.— had like to boris johnson. desk, he ste -s into had like to boris johnson. desk, he steps into safety _ had like to boris johnson. desk, he steps into safety holidays - had like to boris johnson. desk, he steps into safety holidays from - had like to boris johnson. desk, he steps into safety holidays from his| steps into safety holidays from his own policy, that he was announcing in this morning pleasant papers! this plan— in this morning pleasant papers! this plan being dead in the water, but the _ this plan being dead in the water, but the government consume move countries _ but the government consume move countries between lists, so you can still be _ countries between lists, so you can still be eight amber country indicator comes in and it becomes a red country— indicator comes in and it becomes a red country or in amber plus country. _ red country or in amber plus country, like france, where you come back any— country, like france, where you come back any stuff to quarantine even if you are _ back any stuff to quarantine even if you are double vaccinated. obviously in a red _ you are double vaccinated. obviously in a red list _ you are double vaccinated. obviously in a red list country, you helped us isolate _ in a red list country, you helped us isolate in _ in a red list country, you helped us isolate in a — in a red list country, you helped us isolate in a hotel that cost £1700 per adult. — isolate in a hotel that cost £1700 per adult, so holiday is still full ofjeopardy —— have to isolate it

what i consider to be the gold—medal headline. talking about the tweaking, kieran andrews from the times scotland, to the nhs covid after potentially meaning the number pinged and told to self—isolate each week is cut posted on the people you know, your scientific up a people that you poll, do people still use the app? that you poll, do people still use the a- -7 ., , that you poll, do people still use theau’ that you poll, do people still use theau? , that you poll, do people still use theau? , the app? people say they are using the app? people say they are using the a- -, the app? people say they are using the app. but _ the app? people say they are using the app, but curiously, _ the app? people say they are using the app, but curiously, of - the app? people say they are using the app, but curiously, of my - the app, but curiously, of my friends and family, there are very few people who have been pinged... this sounds like an agatha christie! laughter so we can maybe draw our own conclusions from that, although having said that, i do have the app and i have not been pinned, and honestly i'm using it! borisjohnson has come under a lot of pressure. governments across the uk, as they

have moved closer to freedom day, which has already happened in england and is on its way in scotland and in wales as well, just as that was happening, even before it happened, before restrictions have been properly reduced, there was a surge cases, that led to this pingdemic as it was termed of people having to isolate, so with cases falling, which is one of the daily mail's three broad points of happiness on theirfront mail's three broad points of happiness on their front page today, along with the changes to the travel restrictions and the easing of the testing app, that means it is less likely people will get pinged. it comes, i suppose, likely people will get pinged. it comes, isuppose, at likely people will get pinged. it comes, i suppose, at a likely people will get pinged. it comes, isuppose, at a moment likely people will get pinged. it comes, i suppose, at a moment where, really, sign posting that everything is opening up again, although there

is opening up again, although there is a curious angle to this. england has been generally a lot looser with restrictions, faster to move on easing restrictions than other parts of the uk, but when it comes to self isolation, which is what this is all about, the easing of or the changing, the tweaking of this app, is all about, actually, we will see in wales from the 7th of august, no requirement for people to isolate if they have been contacted with someone with covid as long as they have been double jabbed and take a pcr test of nicola sturgeon looks like she is gonna sign off the same in scotland on the 9th of august, yet it will be people in england who have been enjoying freedom day for weeks now waiting into the 60s of august to see the policy coming in, just showing things quite as straightforward and it comes to judging the character of governments and their policies as we might like

to believe —— 16th of august. and their policies as we might like to believe --16th of august. rachel cunliffe, if we _ to believe --16th of august. rachel cunliffe, if we don't _ to believe --16th of august. rachel cunliffe, if we don't get _ to believe --16th of august. rachel cunliffe, if we don't get pinged, - cunliffe, if we don't get pinged, are we going to get out of social engagements? you are we going to get out of social engagements?— are we going to get out of social enuaaements? ., ., , , engagements? you can always pretend to be pinged! — engagements? you can always pretend to be pinged! you _ engagements? you can always pretend to be pinged! you can _ engagements? you can always pretend to be pinged! you can also _ engagements? you can always pretend to be pinged! you can also send - engagements? you can always pretend to be pinged! you can also send you i to be pinged! you can also send you who do— to be pinged! you can also send you who do not— to be pinged! you can also send you who do not want to come out because you have _ who do not want to come out because you have a _ who do not want to come out because you have a holiday or a wedding or something. — you have a holiday or a wedding or something, so the cautious preemptive cancellation is definitely becoming a thing! at least _ definitely becoming a thing! at least that is my reasoning for why everyone — least that is my reasoning for why everyone keeps cancelling plans with me! we _ everyone keeps cancelling plans with me! ~ ., everyone keeps cancelling plans with me! . . ., ., everyone keeps cancelling plans with me! ~ ., ., ., ., everyone keeps cancelling plans with me! . . ., ., ., ., me! we are going to go to the next sto , in me! we are going to go to the next story. in the _ me! we are going to go to the next story, in the times newspaper. - me! we are going to go to the next| story, in the times newspaper. and this isn't really interesting one, i think. rishi sunak says, chancellor, go back to the office if you want to get on. sunak tells the young working from home could harm their career. kieran, and intervention from the chancellor, to go back to work. if you go back to office, do you spend more money in the day? this is a clear attempt from rishi

sunak to encourage people to restart the economy, to re—vitalize these cafes and shops and city and town centres that rely on people going to offices, and it is a shift in the government's guidelines to encourage people back, but this is...— people back, but this is... kieran andrews. — people back, but this is... kieran andrews, you're _ people back, but this is... kieran andrews, you're halfway - people back, but this is... kieran andrews, you're halfway throughj people back, but this is... kieran i andrews, you're halfway through a thought and we might never get that thought. if you're listening, can you remember the second half of your sentence? we sort of our back. there you are. you're in crystal—clear vision now. you were cut off in your prime! i wonder if you might take it to send his back.— prime! i wonder if you might take it| to send his back._ -- to send his back. yes, of course. -- two sentences _ to send his back. yes, of course. -- two sentences back. _ to send his back. yes, of course. -- two sentences back. an _ to send his back. yes, of course. -- two sentences back. an attempt - to send his back. yes, of course. -- two sentences back. an attempt by| two sentences back. an attempt by rishi sunak — two sentences back. an attempt by rishi sunak to _

through the rest of his ride to take gb's 11th gold of the tokyo games. townend said it was a team effort. i didn't know how much we had in hand, actually, so i put myself under a bit of pressure, but that's normal. but these two guys had made it very easy for me, jumping such amazing rounds. tom went in and obviously nailed the clear round. and laura's horse had a spook, but she gave him a brilliant ride as always, so just surrounded by class horses and very classy people. there'll be a big celebration, and i don't think it'll be with a cup of tea and a biscuit! and tom mcewen won as well a silver in the individual eventing final later. it was a near—perfect performance from mcewen on his horse toledo de kerser. but a superb final round from germany'sjulia krajewski was enough to take the gold. a couple of errors by team—mate oliver townend pushed him out of the medal positions, so australia's andrew hoy secured bronze at the age of 62. olympic history was also made today by laurel hubbard. she became the first openly transgender athlete to compete at a games in a different gender

category to the one in which they were born. ultimately, hubbard failed to record a successful lift in the women's over 87kg weightlifting. but in that same category today, emily campbell made history of her own, becoming the first british woman weightlifter to win an olympic medal as she finished with a silver. the 27—year—old lifted a total of 283kg, as china's li wun—wun won gold with a new olympic record of 320kg. i'm just very grateful. i'm very thankful right now. ijust wanted to prove to everybody that if you work hard for what you want, that you can achieve it, and i hope every little boy and girl is watching me today and wants to go out and achieve their dreams. and if i've done that, i've done a marvellous job today. defending champions great britain secured a place in the semi—finals of the women's hockey after a dramatic

shoot—out win over spain. the match finished 2—2 in normal time, taking it to a shoot—out, where goalkeeper maddie hinch was the hero, keeping out all of spain's efforts to take team gb to the semifinal, where they'll face the netherlands in a rematch of the 2016 olympic final. after their most successful olympics games, great britain's swimming team have returned home to heathrow. adam peaty was one of the stars, winning two golds and a silver, but he now says he plans to take three months off to recover. and he insists athletes of any sport must find their own way to recuperate to maintain both their physical and mental health. this job is extremely, extremely intensive. and taking nothing away from everyone else's job, everyone's job is difficult in their own right, but sport is one of those where it's 365, 21t/7.
