travel.y advised that, where possible, people should celebrate christmas at home in their own household and meet with others outdoors only. the five—day flexibility from the 23rd to the 27th of december was planned to recognise the impact of loneliness and the difficulty i know we all feel in leaving loved ones alone over christmas. however, earlier this week, we advised that people should meet indoors with other households if at all on no more than one day over the five—day period. given the concern we now have about this new strain, we now intend to change the law to allow indoor mixing in a bubble on christmas day only from midnight on christmas day to midnight going into boxing day. in large parts of england, as the prime minister has just announced, that will not even be allowed. we will allow christmas day to go ahead but, as we have said from the start, only use this flexibility if you really truly need to. this new strain makes that message all the more important. our advice is still

but people are still traveling, of course. and joining us to talk more about this is a chris mcginnis, sf gate senior travel can't. hi, chris. how you doing? >> i'm great. how you doing? >> great. happy holidays to you. holiday travel is up nationwide, but bay area airports are seeing a little less flying and a lot of last-minute cancellations. what's going on? >> right. well, i think that maybe in the bay area, we're just a little bit more cognizant and observant of what's going on with covid. we reported last week on sfgate that despite the big surge in travel that we're seeing elsewhere, my contacts at sfo said that travel is actually down compared to thanksgiving, that their passenger volume was down about 70 to 75% over thanksgiving. and throughout the month of december, it's been down about 80%. so people are definitely cutting back. and they are saying that they are seeing a lot of last-minute cancellations. and it's not unusual because airlines have really relaxed the rules. and if you decide that you don't want to tra

notjust with these countries, our neighbours, but also with travelling public and indeed the travel industry earlier but this is an absolutely key time for the travel industry, isn't it? yes and normally it would be at this time of year we re it would be at this time of year were ina it would be at this time of year were in a normal year would be seeing packed airports and usual reports about people trying to get back home, but of course this year has been unlike any other on record as far as has been unlike any other on record as faras i'm has been unlike any other on record as far as i'm aware. and certainly what we've got at the moment is a travel industry struggling to try and bring their own industry back to some kind of normality. we did see the beginning of that, shall we say, when the news of the vaccine was introduced about four weeks ago. there was a lot of optimism there and talk about increasing the actual schedules, and indeed the sale of holidays. but unfortunately we have seen, particularly in the last week is that has rapidly dissipated. and of course you've studied the trave

at we are expecting some to receive at least until travel picks up again. right and like you said boeing you know makes these aircraft they do a lot when it comes to defense in this country as well so you can bet the airline industry is going to get a chunk of any federal funding and that's exactly what happened when president john finally signed that $2.00 trillion dollar funding measure it included $900000000000.00 for kovan $1000.00 relief package and $15000000000.00 of that is for payroll support which means a lot of those employees in the airlines that were furloughed in the fall they now have funding guaranteed until lease march through next year so they'll be able to bring some of those workers back and so that's good news for some of those workers that had been you know when they're finding expire and they lost their jobs so it looks as though we're going to see a little bit of a bounce back now how much remains to be seen but like you said people are anxious to get back on the plane or there's a lot of airlines that are even offering passengers fli

think differently about travel? will there be more conscience travel and sustainability, thinking about that not just about the environment but what we do with the time we spend? certainly a time to value a trip more. what i think about non—stop is in 2021, if we do choose to travel and we can travel, whether we have a vaccination or risk tolerance, there will be a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity to see mount fuji, machu picchu, the angkor wat temples in cambodia without any tourists, and when will that happen again? i think there is an opportunity if people do choose to travel. i think people will have one big holiday next year. if anything, they will play just one big holiday and not just nip over to paris for the weekend, you know, a lot of effort and time put into it, and you may even have to consult with a travel agent! as opposed to buying it online. it's like we have gone back 30 years. and the grand master of travel, come on, tell us, what does the future hold? i would say that every second, value every secon

saying don't travel. because of code than we've seen in a long time like almost 1300000 people screened just on sunday so that is higher of course since the pandemic began but you know most experts agree it's going to survive but it's going to redefine travel essentially a good bit maybe 5575 percent of traditional airline business came from corporate america where people can now substitute zoom for business meetings so most people when they poll them now ask them about if they want to travel they want to see friends they want to see family they want to have experiences so it's personal travel that's expected to bounce back 1st and that's going to be tough for airlines you know because again those corporate customers account for a big chunk of their revenues so we'll see how they survive but they're expected to basically start redoing some of their pricing to make it a luring to travelers both corporate and leisure travel much more leisure and that pent up demand of people wanting to get out and travel ge

, whether they feel about travelling, whether they feel safe about the travel arrangements.e respective nations, in the partnering countries, so in this case, if you look back a couple of weeks, what happened is that it was due to start and there was a resurgence of covid—19 in hong kong. the authorities were in touch literally hours before the first start date and they made a very swift and decisive action to kind of prioritise public health safety over restoring connectivity. that really is, based on this example, based on the fact that we have what we have seen, to have people feel safe enough to want to travel in a travel bubble, and if you kind of take a step back and look at how... we are going to have to leave it there. simin ngai, thank you very much for being with us on bbc news. yemen has been labelled the "the world's worst humanitarian crisis", but with 60% of its population under 25, what's it actually like growing up there? bbc my world has been hearing from young people about how their lives have changed but also what they want people to know about their count

an issue which i think it's more difficult is travel.rt of the uk to have a land border. the republic of ireland has planned to travel between great britain and the republic, for example flights are not coming in and ferries are only able to carry freight. so the question is, should northern ireland follow suit? that has divided the power—sharing executive. the biggest nationalist party sinn fein have said there should be a travel ban from the rest of the uk. the democratic unionists have said is people into your four areas democratic unionists have said is people into yourfour areas in england cannot leave them anyway, why should there be specific arrangements for northern ireland? so that is still being worked out. chris page at stormont, thank you. the nhs has been struggling with rising hospital admissions for weeks now — and with a new variant of the virus thought to be up to 70% more transmissable than previous types there is real concern hospitals could be become overwhelmed, as our health correspondent laura foster reports. news

it's a good thing that less people are traveling, but people are still traveling. >> true.we really compare this to thanksgiving, and during thanksgiving our traffic was down about 75%. now, as you said, down more than 80%. and accounting for that difference, think one of the conclusions you can draw from that is the fact that there is more health orders, more robust travel advisories in place during this christmas holiday than we had in thanksgiving. >> what about the 10-day quarantine? i know some travelers are kind of taken off guard. they may not know about it. others, to you think it's holding them book from traveling? >> it's possible. certainly within the bay area, people that live here that might have been thinking about traveling out of the bay area, we think that may account for some of the reduction that we're seeing compared to thanksgiving. obviously our goal and our expectation is that passengers do the home work that they need to do before they travel, wherever they are, that they understand what requirements are in place, and really what is expected to have

travelers. you have to factor in what is happening right now -- this is the busiest time of the year. a lot of people going back home for christmas. this is always going to be is the this is a big disruption. for the airlines, this has been another horrible year for aviation. you're looking at the politics of all of this, this is not a good look for the prime minister who is coming under scrutiny. when you look at this from a european perspective, i can tell you that the european press is saying this is chaos in the u.k. of britainimage looking very isolated. >> you talk about chaos at the border, what about chaos when it comes to brexit talks? sunday came and went. how does this impact the negotiations? maria: you cannot ignore it and let us not be naÏve because this is happening to weeks before the brexit deadline. whether or not there is a deal, the trade relationship is going to change. we will always see disruption at the border. this could make it harder. senthe deadline that was out yeste

experiencing in the united states as you say a 1000000 travelers a day on average are traveling through the nation's airports 84000084 and a half 1000000 passengers and travelers are expected during the christmas and new year holidays the bulk of which will be traveling by car it's thought or it's estimated which at least means that the risk of transmission and contracting covert is reduced in airports and on airplanes however the main fear is where are all these travelers going. the fear is that they are traveling to visit their families extended families multiple households will celebrate the holidays together indoors multigenerational gatherings and we know this these other main vectors for curva transmission in you know and then the as a great deal of fear now that as joe biden said just as just this week actually the darkest days may still be ahead even as vaccines are rolling out for transmission and hospitalization. thank you very much she has in washington live now my colleague dominic ain't so dumb the numbers going beyond the 25000000 mark across all the european union countri

highest travel period of the entire year. toppling over is not having the capacity to really take care of patients even though we have the medicines. we know what to do. if everyone floods into the hospital as it's starting to happen right now, we just won't be able to keep up, and we'll have more unnecessary deaths. >> we appreciate the doctor being with us for so many months guiding us through this pandemic. >>> making it in the bay now. this is our series about the challenges of living here. it's still a renter's market in san francisco. the pandemic has increased vacancies and that's driving rent down. according to apartmentlist.com, in november, the month over month decline was 3.4% with an average price of a little over $2,000 for a one-bedroom and $2,300 for a two-bedroom. it's unclear if prices will rebound in the spring. analysts say major factors include businesses reopening and the anticipated rollout of the vaccines. >>> some dangerous conditions along the coast this afternoon. high swells, sneaker waves, and stro

travel.is johnson announced a general "stay at home order" for all of the new areas in tier 4 within england. simon calder, travel editor for the independent newspaper, explains what that means for international travel. u nfortu nately, if unfortunately, if you are to travel imminently and you are one of the one third of the english population, about 18 million people, who are in this new area which is largely london, east of england and south—east england, you are not, from midnight, allowed to travel abroad. having said that, of course, if you have a pressing reason, if it is for work, for example, that will be able to go ahead and crucially if you live somewhere outside of this tierfour zone if you live somewhere outside of this tier four zone i believe you will still be able to travel into tier four in order to take a flight because of course three of the uk's three biggest apples are located within that area so, many millions of people, i estimate we are into the tens of thousands of peo
