but the foreign ministry has also said that spain isa foreign ministry has also said that spain is ato visit, and it has underlined that these outbreaks of coronavirus in the country are very much localised, and under control. that has been the response from the spanish government so response from the spanish government so far. but clearly it is very frustrating for the spanish government, because of what this means for the tourism industry and, by extension, the economy. and have we had any reaction from those in the tourist industry? as you say, it is peak summer holiday season. this is peak summer holiday season. this is going to have a huge impact. is peak summer holiday season. this is going to have a huge impactm is. i think it is still quite early but i think we are going to hear a lot of reaction from the tourism industry. already, it is an industry that has been hard—hit by the situation so far. numbers this summer in terms of visits to spain have been much lower than they would normally be for obvious reasons. and people in the industry have been talking about how devastati

coming back from spain.of people thinking it now is the time we can finally book a summer holiday again, know that there was this list of travel exemptions, sorry, quarantine exemptions, and spain was an extreme the popular choice for many people. now the uk government has changed its position on that following this indication that there has been a surge in cases in spain and passengers who were only given a few hours' notice told us here as they flew out this morning they were very frustrated by the short notice change. when we originally booked it was about four months ago and it has been changed five times since. this is our fifth attempt at going out so pretty annoying. i had all the changes two hours ago. pretty annoying. i had all the changes two hours agolj pretty annoying. i had all the changes two hours ago. i got an update on my phone from easyjet last night andl update on my phone from easyjet last night and i was a bit worried because i thought flight had been cancelled so we just didn't know, we

charles hancock for us in spain.ciation for tour operators and travel agents. thanks for being with us. this is a devastating blow to the travel industry, isn't it? yeah. spain is incredibly important to our members. it is by far the single most important destination we send customers too. any normal year, they would probably be over1 million british holiday—makers in spain. 0bviously because of what has been going on the numbers are a lot lower, but as soon as lockdown was removed and people were able to travel abroad, a lot of them thought the first thing they wanted to do was go to spain. we have had from people who are there now. the thing for us is this came out of the blue for us is this came out of the blue for us, as well. it will cause a lot of problems for travel companies who now have to contact customers who are due to travel out today or tomorrow because imminent departures, they need to be informed. it is all over the news but some people might not be aware of this. if you have a package holiday booked

spain isa spain is a safe country for terrorists and for spaniards, like in any other european countrybreaks in spain are perfectly controlled. we have three that are the most important outbreaks at the moment, in barcelona, in larry there and zaragoza, all of them are perfectly traced and a half of those that are covid—i9 positive in spain are asymptomatic, which gives a very clear indication of the huge efforts that all the regions in spain are undertaking to test for covid—i9 in citizens. once they are identified, they are being subject to very strict social distancing measures. these new quarantine restrictions for people travelling to the uk from spain will have an impact on an already strained tourism industry. rob griggs is from airlines uk the association for the uk airline industry and joins me now from romford. this must be the worst possible news, especially after you had managed to secure those travel corridors, which would have given you some sort of optimism. indeed, it isa you some sort of optimism. indeed, it is a big blow. it is only relatively recently we had the firs

canary returning from mainland spain, the ca nary islands returning from mainland spain, the canaryric islands, such as the —— to travel ... travel insurance, travel insurance, it only applies to mainland spain, so there is more chance those travelling to places like ibiza will be able to apply the travel insurance. as we also saw, devastating news for silly people who are going to go on holiday to spain, or who were planning to. what is the guidance given? which of people to if they are in spain now or if they are about to go? first of all, check the foreign 0ffice of all, check the foreign office website, check your travel operator, check... if you've booked a package, check the person you booked that package with. if not, check the flight package with. if not, check the flight provider. and also speak to your employer, because when you come back in her that a0 day quarantine, will you be up to work from home? —— come back with that ia day quarantine? will you have to take it off as unpaid leave? many people cannot afford to that, so many people having to stomach losing money so ——

that is markedly lower than the rest of spain, and lower than the rest of spain, and lower than the rest uk, as well. it is interesting to note, as well, that there are other areas of spain which are now asking to be included in any possible exemption. today the southern region of andalusia, where the costa del sol is, at the eastern region of valencia, both regional governments of those areas have said they would like to be included in an exception because the british market is so important to them. but for now it does seem as if the spanish authorities are focusing very much on the balearic islands and the ca nary islands. on the balearic islands and the canary islands. thank you very much. thank you very much. what is the mood of passengers in departures there? it is a grey, wet and extremely windy day here in southern england. behind me is the departure is a gate at gatwick airport. everyone arriving here is more 01’ airport. everyone arriving here is more or less a self—selecting group. in other words, over the last 2a hours they have decided to go ahead with the holidays, and that

the restrictions in place in spain. the restrictions in place in spain already are really good.ith the masks, with disinfecting everything, with hand wash in the shops. that's better than what we have in london. so it seems a bit crazy to be imposing quarantine. we will be looking at the infection numbers in spain and what we know of its new covid—19 outbreaks. also tonight: how the virus is spreading into rural india and putting intense pressure on already struggling health care facilities. farewell to one of hollywood's great stays. olivia de havilland has died. england battle with bat and ball to give them a victory against the west indies. the government has said it was absolutely necessary to reimpose quarantine restrictions on arrivals from spain a day after the change came into effect with just a few hours notice. all four nations of the united kingdom made the same decision, after what the foreign secretary dominic raab described as a "big jump" in new coronavirus cases in spain. everyone now coming into the uk from any part of spain is required to go into quarantine for

we heard from the foreign minister of spain insisting spain isa foreign minister of spain insisting spainto visit. the spikes in coronavirus are localised, she has pointed out. trying to get exemptions for the balearic and ca nary exemptions for the balearic and canary islands. a concern for the regional governments of those islands as well, they feel they are being treated unfairly. the incident coronavirus in balearic an canary islands is much lower than in the uk. people feel that without the british tourist coming over, who make up about a quarter of foreign visitors each year, things will be very, very bleak here. face coverings are mandatory for everyone aged over 11 using public transport in wales from today, bringing it into line with other parts of the uk. museums, cinemas and beauty salons are also re—opening, but pubs, cafes and restaurants will have to stay closed for at least another week. "buy one get one free" deals and tv adverts for unhealthy food will be banned as part of the government's bid to tackle obesity in england. the prime minister will unveil the strategy later

but it has also said that spain isa issue.fe place to visit and that any outbreaks of coronavirus in the country i very much a localised and very much under control. it was very keen to underline that point. but this comes as numbers of cases have been rising over the last few days, the last couple of weeks. we have seen for example in the north—east region of catalonia the closure of all nightclubs there for the next two weeks. that's because the next two weeks. that's because the local authorities there are worried about the spread of contagion among younger people. clearly this is going to have a big impact on the tourism sector. british visitors tend to make up around one quarter of the total of foreign visitors to spain each year. the british market is the single biggest market for the spanish tourism industry. this is a huge blow for the spanish tourism industry and it comes when the industry and it comes when the industry was already reeling after the early part of the tourism season was completely wiped out, basically.

in spain, the 50% of spain's gdp comes from tourism —— 1596. of spain's gdp comes from tourism —— 15%y 3 million jobs. on the basis of that other countries in a similar position will indeed be hugely worried. equally you can see a lot of people cancelling their holidays because of the moment itjust seems to be a really risky time to be trying to go abroad to get a bit of sun. because once you are there, go for a two week holiday, you may end up having a month off work because you get quarantine on the way back. and now we have just seen that when these quarantines happen, they have been incredibly quickly so there is no way you can put plans in place or something like this. it was interesting because we spoke to a lady this evening who was saying that when she returned home she does not have a car so if you will have to get on the bus. so if you are thinking they are trying to encourage people to self—isolate, you are still out in society really and you are not being tested. exactly. and it is this sort of lack ofjoined up thinking throughout that hasjust become more and more apparent

and heading off to spain.he airport or who have flight due to go today? good morning. airlines, including british airways, have described the new measures as yet another blow for british holiday—makers. uk's largest tour operator, has cancelled its lights to spain. one aircraft on the ground behind me was due to leave for malaga with passengers in the last few hours. the trade body airlines uk have said in a statement that this shows why regional travel corridors need to be considered so that safe travel to parts of a red country can continue. they also say, we also need to see the introduction of testing at uk airports so that those who are covered negative —— covid negative do not need to self—isolate on return. this news emerged yesterday evening, giving travellers in spain a very short time to return and divide the quarantine. this calls into question the usefulness of this exemption list is a tool of choosing an destination for a trip aboard derry abroad and that will no doubt cause concern among airlines

the decision has major implications for spain.rly a quarter of all those who travel to the country. several parts of spain, like barcelona, are grappling with a resurgence of coronavirus, with a number of areas seeing a spike in cases. the spanish government insists that this is not a reason for tourists to stay away, and is calling for popular destinations to be excluded from being on the quarantine list. in particular, our dialogue efforts at the moment are focssed around in particular, our dialogue efforts at the moment are focused around excluding from the quarantine measures the balearic and the canary islands, for two reasons. number one, these are islands, very safe territories. number two, their epidemiological data is extremely positive, well below epidemiological data in the uk. despite the new restrictions, some in ibiza arejust happy to be on holiday. still going to ride it out. we're going to have a good time and deal with it when we're back. like you say, it's one of them, we need probably two weeks... recovery. but

grow a second wave of coronavirus in spain. it follows a spike in coronavirus cases in spain and the return of restrictions in some regions, including catalonia. thousands protest poland's decision to withdraw from a european treaty combatting violence against women. india records nearly 100,000 new cases of covid—19 in two days. a chief minister is one of those testing positive. a memorial service is held in alabama for the congressman and civil rights leader john lewis. hello and welcome to bbc news. people arriving anywhere in the uk from spain from now on will have to quarantine for two weeks. it follows concerns over a sharp increase in spanish coronavirus infections, nearly 1,000 new cases in the last two days. the spanish foreign ministry says the country is safe — and that outbreaks are localised and isolated — but now the warning is that many people's travel plans could be thrown into chaos. paul hawkins reports. for the british holiday—makers amongst the crowds in catalonia, this the great escape into the sun and warm

friends and former colleagues coming through spain and into spain, family who would see us while we wereetely out of whack. for us, it is incredibly disappointing. but as we have seen over the last few months, things may change in an insta nt few months, things may change in an instant with the british government. new figures released today show the 1 million new figures released today show the 1millionjobs were new figures released today show the 1 million jobs were destroyed new figures released today show the 1 millionjobs were destroyed in spain during the second quarter of the year, while the country tries to bring the resurgence of coronavirus under control, its economy is becoming another huge worry. the government has been criticised for the way it responded to people who got stuck abroad as the pandemic took hold earlier this year. more than a million people needed repatriation — but mps say the foreign office was too slow to come to their rescue, and communications were inadequate. james landale reports. when lockdown began in march, well over a million britons were travelling

people will go somewhere else in europe being in spain or come back from spain or any other place.s on the numberof what i would say is it depends on the number of days. example, flying into gibraltar then going to spain then go back gibraltar and say spending for days and gibraltar out before going back to the uk than the quarantine would be reduced to ten days. generally it's just jumping from one place to spain or indeed, another country where we have a quarantine restriction and back to the uk via the other airport and that duration still stands. to start up that duration still stands. to start up the discussion it's important that we all remember that quarantine has a very specific purpose. it takes about five days of the virus to incubate. we know about 99% of people who would develop symptoms and not be infectious any more it will do so within our 14 day period. that's why it's two weeks without that. it is applied by many countries it's not just that. it is applied by many countries it's notjust to that. it is applied by many countries it's not just to the that. it is appli

whether that includes spain. this has come asa that includes spain.a that includes spain. this has come as a bit of a bolt from the blue for holiday makers, news that they are going to have to quarantine if they have been in spain? yes, came as a big shock to everyone i think. i think it's interesting all nations of the uk and ireland as well, join together so there is a multi—island response very quickly. it was very bad news for spanish holiday—makers. some people on twitter found out at apm and realised there was no way, evenif apm and realised there was no way, even if they drove at 100 miles an hour, they could get back on by 11pm. that means a huge number of people in complete disarray. i think the government at this point needs to make sure people have information, going to be so many people who have booked last minute cheap trips to spain, having been locked inside for so long and we've seen how many people have struggled to get refunds on holidays that were supposed to happen in lockdown, what will happen to these people now. the sunday teleg

spain is concerned.inisters, because on the one hand they want to be seen to be providing some sense of optimism, some sense we be heading slowly back towards normality, and yes of course the risk is still there. they know that this is crippling for an industry, the travel industry that has had a particularly tough time in recent months, and the whole point of going on holidays is to try and leave things behind, leave the stresses of home behind and not have to worry. and of course with this hanging over anyone contemplating foreign travel, it removes some of that sense of being able to escape and being able to forget what is going on at home. lots of conversations are continuing here, down, at westminster, about how things may change. we saw as far as the others were concerned last night, there are conversations going on about quarantine. could that potentially be restricted, be limited a little bit? no announcement yet, but as with all of this, there is never going to be an end point. there will always

spain had 35, we have 1a.eir own judgment. thank you, norman. some news to bring about a warning potentially about long—term impact of covid—19 for survivors. the uk sepsis trust has said that people diagnosed with covid—19 are being encouraged to familiarise themselves with the signs of sepsis after a poor —— report found as many as 20,000 covid—19 survivors could be diagnosed with it within one year. they have said that one in five covid—19 survivors who have required hospital treatment is at risk of sepsis within one year of being discharged. the charity has estimated 100,000 people will be discharged from hospital in the uk having had covid—19, which means about 20,000 at risk of life—threatening sepsis, and they are calling for the government to invest in an awareness campaign. sepsis is a life—threatening reaction to an infection and it happens in the body‘s immune system, when it overreacts to an infection which can lead to organ failure and death. so they are saying that they wa nt death. so they are s

so i come back from spain, and how do you know which part of spain i came from? could have been travelling broadly or i could have beenjust in one location with a low rate. i can see why the government wants to do a sort of one size fits all policy for a particular country, but it doesn't make a lot of epidemiological sense. what does make epidemiological sense? would you be saying to people, just stay at home? this is a pandemic. it hasn't happened for 100 years. when things like this happen, rarely, i think it is very reasonable to do things very differently. we have a domestic tourism industry. i know people want tourism industry. i know people want to take a vacation where it is warmer, but this might be the one year where, as warmer, but this might be the one yearwhere, asa warmer, but this might be the one year where, as a nation, we don't do that in order to avoid reintroducing the virus back into the country. in fa ct, the virus back into the country. in fact, i would go further and say we should be shutting down pretty much all nonessential travel, and r

spain.ly clear about what's happening amongst some of our european friends. i'm afraid you are starting to see, in some places, the signs of a second wave of the pandemic. and we all remember what happened last time. the prime minister reimposed a warning against all but essential travel to spain, and insists travellers arriving in the uk from there spend 14 days in quarantine. the latest figures from the european centre for disease prevention and control show, over the last 14 days, the number of covid cases in spain were at 47 per 100,000 people. elsewhere, luxembourg saw 222 cases, croatia saw 27, belgium 29, france 16, and germany eight cases per 100,000 people. and what we have to do all over europe, and indeed all of the world, is to stop these spikes from developing into big outbreaks, really quickly and efficiently everywhere. but as for testing at uk airports, well, the jury is still out. government sources have told the bbc there are no plans to introduce testing at airports at the

so, after the change of policy on spain, where next?, any country with a rise in infections could see new rules imposed on travellers. in france, for example, after a massive spike earlier this year, numbers came right down, but have since crept back up again to about 1,000 cases a day. in germany, which was never badly affected, there has also been a slight increase, but only to about 300 cases a day. while greece, which is widely praised for its handling of the virus, has also seen a very slight rise, but only to about 30 new cases every day. and, if there are flare—ups, why involve whole countries rather than regions within them? over the past fortnight, catalonia, for example, has had more than 8,500 cases. but by contrast, the balearic islands have had only 92, so, it's said, they should be allowed easier travel. and the islands are being treated differently by some countries, like the netherlands. the uk government says it won't do that, but some experts think a regional approach could be feasible. regional quarantines for islands
