we will be joined by the sun's travel editor, lisa minot and the travel editor of the independent, simonly the summer, please send them to us as that will be a really interesting session at 3:30pm. it's about people trying to visit family as well, not just about trying to get away to the sun. lots of people have not in their loved ones for a very long time due to this pandemic, so that is coming up just after 3:30pm. it's 12 minutes to two. the headlines on bbc news... the long wait is over. england's history makers beat denmark. they have reached their first major men's final since 1966. as we have been discussing, fully vaccinated people will no longer have to quarantine on their return to england from amber list countries. that rule changes on the 19th ofjuly. and the number of people when england waiting to have steadied hospital treatment has risen to a new record high. now on bbc news, it's time to take a look at some of the stories making the headlines across the uk. a dance group is trying to encourage young boys to join, even if they've never danced before. this is ahead of a ne

simon calder from the independent and lisa minot from the independent and lisa minot from the sun, thankuld have been even higher. the british beer and pub association save a further 1.7 million pints could have been pulled, possible hit two takings of £6.5 million. supermarkets have also seen sales rise in the back of euro 2020, with many people celebrating at home rather than the pub. the co—op supermarket expects a million drinks to be sold on sunday alone, but it isn'tjust alcohol sales that are on the rise. anything to do with people getting together with friends and family, so things like sharing bags of snacks, up 30% at the moment, pizzas, massively up, burgers, hugely up. disposable barbecues, i'm sure over the weekend will be huge. it's all about, as i say, that get—together occasion. before a ball was even kicked economists had predicted the economy would benefit, even with restrictions in place. with estimates of around £150 million more being spent by consumers. but over the last 16 months households have saved almost £200 billion due to the pandemic and spending in the seco

i've been speaking to travel journalist lisa minot. croatia. that's right. so, i mean, there's two bits of good news in this. we have got bulgaria that's gone on to the green list and we've got croatia going on the green watchlist which is where the balearics were. i think the only issue i would say is that these are not destinations that traditionally have huge numbers of brits going to. they are popular but they're not as popular as the balearics. so it could be a case that people manage to switch their holidays to these destinations if they are not yet jabbed. but again it's a real bitter blow for the youngsters. they're the ones that really have suffered, i think, the most in the pandemic in terms of not being at risk of the coronavirus in the same way but actually having the most restrictions put on them. and for them, the island of ibiza, obviously a hugely popular island for the young. and they are now going to struggle if they want to go to those resorts because most of them won't be fully vaccinated until later on in august. t
