the entire station was scanned by openspace before the pandemic, working with the department for transportovate uk. 30 bespoke cameras equipped with sd cameras are dotted around the station with another 20 on the way. flat against the surface of the ceiling, they are separate from the current cctv system. so we have got three cameras working in this part of the station, one above our head and two along this line, and we've meshed those cameras together so they can give us a continuous view of movement across the concourse here. so what makes them different to the cctv cameras? these are much more precise cameras. these are cameras that are able to specifically pick up the movement of people to a certain level of accuracy, so we can then process the data within our digital twin. this is the first time anywhere in the world a digital twin is managing the real—time movement of people in a train station, and the first system of this kind making operational decisions about social distancing. people pop up red or green depending on if they are two metres or more apart. all the data is anonymised

we arejust we are just getting a little more clarity from the department for transport as to why portugalhe list of travel corridors for england. the department is saying that there are various decisions being made around this. but they say that portugal has drastically increased its testing capacity, as well as taking measures to control the spread of the virus, that they will mostly monitor the situation. they are prepared to act at pace to remove the country from the travel corridors list in order to protect public health. a little more clarity as to why england is still keeping portugal on its list, so people travelling back to england from portugal do not have to quarantine. a little bit more background. let's put some of these issues... joining me now is alistair rowland, the chair of the association for british travel agents. we've just had a bit more clarity into the thinking as to why england is keeping portugal on its list. when it comes to the way that holiday—makers, what they think about, they have an awful lot to consider when trying to get away from this country for a break

britain's department for transport says it has provided "unprecedented support" to the aviation industryge. it has been unbelievably challenging, demanding beyond your wildest dreams. today, a message from some of the biggest names in uk aviation. if the government doesn't open up if the government doesn't open up travel abroad significantly soon, the economic fallout will be even worse. i fear that if we don't act now, more jobs will be lost. 500,000 people in the uk rely on travel and tourism action and leadership by the uk government and history which has always been at the forefront is essential. we will lose more destinations. with the travel quarantine typing again, the man running glasgow, aberdeen and southampton airports says the sector faces ruin. quite frankly, i think at this moment in time, the uk government is overseeing the demise of the aviation industry in the uk. we are seeing morejob aviation industry in the uk. we are seeing more job losses than it did in the demise of the coal industry in the 80s. that surely cannot be an accolade that any government would like to ha

latest figures from the department for transport show rail usage in britain is at 31% of pre—pandemic people have been airlifted to safety in central california, after a fast—moving wildfire threatened to cut off a popular campsite in the sierra national forest. nearly 15,000 firefighters are battling 23 separate blazes across the state, where some areas are experiencing record temperatures because of the current heat—wave conditions throughout the region. simonjones reports. forcing evacuations and road closures. officials say the speed of the fire caught everyone off guard. the fire grew so quickly, so fast, it trapped people at the reservoir up it trapped people at the reservoir up in the mountains. at some point during the day, when they became trapped, they were doing what they could to rescue themselves and make themselves safe. some of which resulted in injuries, including broken bones, lacerations, scrapes, bruises, though sort of things. as of sunday morning, nearly 15,000 firefighters were battling 23 fires across the state, including this wildfire across the state, includin

latest figures from the department for transport show rail usage in britain is at 31% of pre—pandemicty and standards board. it is still really, really down on pre—pandemic levels. do you think we will see much of an uptick?” pre—pandemic levels. do you think we will see much of an uptick? i think it will be gradual. we have experienced over the last few months, a slight increase as each week has passed as people are starting to return to working, particularly slowly in offices in city centres. we see that that will continue. i think with the return of schools and colleges this week and next, that could start to increase a little bit but it is gradual, as people gain confidence about actually returning to work. i think there are other important factors at play, in terms of how quickly officers are made available and suitable for people to work in. i think that is the biggest issue employers are grappling with as well. in terms of safety on the trains but would you say it is going to be safe? we had looked at the risk around this and it is still safer to travel by train then it would b

the report was commissioned by the department for transport, published by them, and carried out by networkave come out of the derailment in aberdeenshire. one is how can network rail better project extreme weather? there was heavy rainfall on that day before the train derailed. how can it use new technology to project whether at a local level and potentially if needs be suspend services in a local area if it is appropriate to do so? and the other broad area is also looking at how better network rail can manage and probably modify in the short term the earthworks. these are embankments, cuttings, adjacent to railways. in the aberdeenshire derailment, at the point of derailment, at the point of derailment, there was a very steep slope going down and a drainage system the other which will be part of the investigation carried out by the rail accident investigation board, so network rail is saying we have a huge number of these assets all around the country, thousands and thousands and thousands. we need to look at how we can better assess their safety and their risk in terms of being prone to

for political retaliation. i introduce the inspector general independence act with majority leader hoyer and several other members. after president trump retaliated against inspectors general at the department of defense, the department of transportation, state department, and other agencies. increasesge also protections for whistleblowers who expose waste, fraud and abuse. the trump administration has engaged in a sustained assault on whistleblowers. fellow workers have been harassed, fired, embarrassed, demoted. i introduce the whistleblower protection and improvement act, along with subcommittee chair jerry conley to get whistleblowers the opportunity to challenge retaliation in court, and prohibit disclosing a whistleblowers identity. whistleblowers helped our committee expose abuses in the white house security clearance process. the administration's nuclear deal with saudi arabia, and investigations into ethics abuses and mismanagement at the postal service and the census department by administration officials. this package of reforms also closes loopholes that president trump has exploited by installing unqualified people as acting agency heads and inspector general's. finally, the bill helps ensure that the line between officia
