helena wilkinson, bbc news. 0ur correspondent fiona trott is in tenerife where hundreds of people aren a hotel there. what more do you know about what's happening at the hotel? we can say that what we saw, the people leaving here while waited for this moment for over three days now. some of them had to sign documentation before they left, others were having their temperature takes in. health officials here have confirmed that they are from various countries. there'll be a medical review when they get home that they can return to their home countries. they can leave at the canary islands. but it's a bit comp located pictures from what we understand, there appears to be different protocols for different countries. for example, there was a lady explaining she still having to wait. this is because one company said they wouldn't fly anyone back to the uk u nless wouldn't fly anyone back to the uk unless they have completed a two week quarantine or had a test for the virus. another company has said it wants people to stay at the hotel because it is following for an office guidance and guida

thank you, fiona trott in tenerife. today. two pupils —— muggeridge remains closed today to peoples and the teaching staff after one child's parent contracted the coronavirus after returning from tenerife. that parent is being looked after at the royal liverpool hospital. another gp surgery around the corner was closed yesterday but will reopen today. nick gibb has been on the programme within the last hour saying he understands why this school and 18 others, as a precaution, had taken the decision to keep their doors closed, in this case after one confirmed case, in other cases after children have returned from school trips in these hotspot areas. he understands the decision but says it is not the official guidance, which remains that schools should only really need to close if there is a confirmed case amongst the student or teaching population. i have been into town and buxton chatting to some of the businesses open as usual today. one coffee shop says it was a bit quiet yesterday afternoon, they said that a staff me

let's go to leeds station now and join my colleague fiona trott for the latest reaction from there. e seen twice as much spent on transport infrastructure in london than they have here in the north of england, and as you know, recently the rail company northern lost its franchise. passengers simply weren't getting the service they were paying for. but following today's announcement, better connectivity here in the north will now form part of the whole hs2 project which council leaders, business leaders here, will say is a good thing. they say that the north is more of a priority than it was before, but the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has said that more commitment is needed. in a statement he said the prime minister gave a firm timetable for hs2 from london to birmingham, but there was no such commitment for the north. we want to see the construction of northern powerhouse rail fast tracked, he said, construction of northern powerhouse railfast tracked, he said, in construction of northern powerhouse rail fast tracked, he said, in line with the commitment he made shortl
