it's worth pointing out that heathrow has a test facility ready to go.s just waiting for the government go ahead. a major airport like that looks like it's set up and ready to test compared to the current system, where people are coming back in the country with quara ntines where people are coming back in the country with quarantines coming into place really last—minute. people are coming into the country untested, and then we have a system that's based on trust. we are assuming that they are self—isolating for 14 days, which many people are, but some aren't. it's difficult. children are returning to school, which leads me to the new york times. it's focusing on spain. it's a pretty damning article. it's looking at what spain is prioritising. it feels like it's the entertainment industry, as opposed to education. talk us through that. i've actually found new york times to be interesting in their reports during covid. they're quite damning. this one is from madrid, and talking about how basically, what's considered least urgent there seems to be the educa

heathrow going again. can't we do that? helane: we can. we absolutely can. i think that is a big part of the problem is governments are not allowing their people to travel. over to y -- over labor day weekend, almost one million people traveled per day and that was the best we had seen since march which means people want to travel. in the u.s., newark, new jersey with quarantine roles. london is actually open. the u.k. is open. you guys can go, you just have to go two weeks prior. tom: come on. the high ground here at cowen. why can't the airlines and public and private owners of these airports fix this so we can affect normal travel with testing? to me, it is like the easiest thing out there. why can't we do it? helane: that needs to be done, i agree with you. if the airport industry, airports and airlines get together, get the tests, the 15 minute, you get to the airport -- the only negative with that is if you get to london and one person on your plane has tested positive, you are all quarantined. maybe

quarantine roulette, the boss of heathrow has called it.his morning. flights have been leaving for portugal, for the greek islands and also for spain, a very mixed picture from speaking to holiday—makers. some of them are excited. we all know that fuzzy feeling in an airport early in the morning. a group of lads i was speaking to where saying it's a lads‘ holiday where saying it‘s a lads‘ holiday like any other year. an older couple we spoke to were slightly concerned about the number per 100,000 going up about the number per 100,000 going up in portugal, where they were travelling. they said, our holiday hasn‘t been cancelled but if we chose to cancel it before the advice changes, we would lose our money. there has been flights going to spain as well with ryanair this morning. 0ver there, you can see people checking in for that flight. some of the people flying to spain where saying they were not sure what their insurance was flying to a country where the fco advise is not to go, but they said nonetheless, they were willing to take that ch

interesting to hear that heathrow does have those facilities, claire.y blair quote has come from. so many strong quotes in the paper, it's hard to keep up. we have gotjeremy hunt and chris scaling acting our campaign, so lots of government and former government figures like tony blair getting on board with this. as you say, heathrow has these facilitate elite —— facilities already. all signs point towards this being a really good idea. i mean, portugal is the obvious example to use as it's being in shambles this week. i mean, it was less than two weeks ago that it was given the green light. now, cases are rising again. scotland and wales have already rescinded the travel corridor. england resisted it for now, but it looks like it may be headed that way. so, we're just going to have this constant squinting merry—go—round if something doesn't change to help the travel industry to help holiday—makers who, as you rightly point out, are losing money when they have to rush back from their holidays. that's not helping the economy or them at all to feel confide

our transport correspondent tom burridge is at heathrow for us now. for travellers? yes, really fast moving situation tonight. firstly, portugal. that country has moved beyond the uk's benchmark of 20 cases per 100,000 people. other countries passed that marker have had quarantine reimposed. the uk government should make an announcement by thursday, but the bbc has been told that the scottish government is considering doing so before then. on greece, the uk government is concerned about the situation there, but we have learnt tonight from an aviation source that the welsh government is looking at bringing in testing at cardiff airport for all arrivals in from greece. remember the flight from za nte last greece. remember the flight from zante last week into cardiff? 16 passengers on board tested positive for covid-19. passengers on board tested positive for covid—19. airports like heathrow have been calling on the uk government to bring in testing at airports for months so people could leave quarantine early. but because of the situation of the santee

the boss of heathrow airport says passengers are playing quarantine roulette.

we have got to get to heathrow and then flight from heathrow to glasgow but we can walk about differentn we get to glasgow we are put into quarantine for two weeks. those risks led to the welsh government introducing quarantine for those returning from a popular tourist island but england and northern ireland currently have no quarantine for greece. with cases rising in portugal, that is the next destination of concern. james williams is on holiday with this family in the algarve and they were meant to return on sunday. he spent nearly £400 on flights home tomorrow in case quarantine comes in. nearly £400 on flights home tomorrow in case quarantine comes inli nearly £400 on flights home tomorrow in case quarantine comes in. i would like to go home so that i can go back to work on monday and my daughter goes back to school on monday and while obviously she could quarantine, i don't want her to quarantine, i don't want her to mist quarantine, i don't want her to mist mist any quarantine, i don't want her to mist any more of her education. the government's benchmark for quarantine is when

as you arrived at heathrow, you'd have seen for the first time the flags of australia, new zealand, singaporegreat indication of how britain is changing its attitude, becoming more global and not just eurocentric. would you agree with the position of the government here in the uk that we need a clean break from the european union, and to trade and co—operate globally, we need to be independent from their tentacles and their control? would you support that view? i would probably not use exactly the same terminology, with respect, but i certainly think that britain should not fear a so—called hard exit. australia has been, for many years now, doing what is currently $100 billion worth of trade annually with countries of the eu on a no—deal basis. after an hour, the former prime minister tried to wind up the session himself. now, tom, look, it's now 4pm and i'm going to have to vanish, but can ijust say how much i appreciate the opportunity to talk to the committee? it's been quite an interesting discussion, a bit of lively banter and partisan sparring early on, but i hope all of us have learned
