If you have just joined if You Havejustjoined us, you are very welcome and youre in time to heard about the Travel Industry because the uk is set to review its rules on foreign travel later after a desperate plea from Industry Buses for the green list of destinations to be widened. The Transport Secretary will face members of Parliament Later this morning with an update expected in the afternoon. On wednesday, hundreds of airline crew, helpers, held protests across the uk to talk about the current restrictions. Travel bosses want to see fully vaccinated people exempt from quarantine rules, but in another potential setback, the german chancellor has a suggested that all eu countries should make British Travellers Quarantine on arrival to slow the spread in europe. The Travel Industry is frustrated, and nervous, protesting yesterday around the country, people whose jobs rely on International Travel reopening. They want more countries in the green list and more Financial Support from the government. The Travel Industry had geared up the Travel Industry had geared up to restart in mid may, over a month on, and with most countries still on the amber list, theirfrustration is building to a crescendo, and many are anxious about the rest of the summer.

Joining me now is Fiona Cincotta from city index. So many people are desperate to be able to plan a holiday. I wonder if we will get more clarity on what the Travel Industry is hoping for today from the government. Thats ri. Ht. From the government. Thats rirht. If from the government. Thats right if we from the government. Thats right. If we think from the government. Thats right. If we think the from the government. Thats right. If we think the travel l right. If we think the Travel Industry have been one of the hardest hit across the pandemic, there have been some Travel Restrictions in place now for around 15 months, we have seen in your video there are about thejob have seen in your video there are about the job losses, about the people that are on furlough, so there is a broader impact on the economy as well, as people obviously want to travel abroad to see loved ones, go on holiday, and the airlines themselves, they have borrowed huge amounts of money in order to survive, they are billions in debt, and they are at the limits really of what they can do as far as borrowing is concerned. As far as the share price goes, they are reflecting what is going on, and they are nowhere near where they were pre pandemic, which really reflect the fact that there is a very long way for there is a very long way for the Airline Industry to go in order to get back on its feet, where it was before covid struck, so there is hope today that there will be some more countries on the green list which could boost travel quite considerably, also any news on what might happen as far as double vaccinated people are concerned, but also been pointed out it is Worth Remembering we do have this Delta Variant which could actually be a thorn in the side of the Airline Industry, if we do have other countries in europe like germany saying that people from the uk do need to quarantine, that could really be a nasty blow to the industry, just when it appears to be on the cusp of being able to be on the cusp of being able to get onto its feet. I to be on the cusp of being able to get onto its feet. To get onto its feet. I was about to to get onto its feet. I was about to bring to get onto its feet. I was about to bring that to get onto its feet. I was about to bring that up to get onto its feet. I was about to bring that up because of course no matter what happens in the uk, if british travellers have to quarantine when they go to countries in europe, that will pull the rug under anybody� s holiday plans, most havent got the luxury of being able to holiday for long enough to make a 10 day quarantine on arrival work. For economies in europe, the british traveller is so critical, spain, france, italy, their economies rely on us to a great degree going over there to go on holiday. Thats right, and i think because of that, we havent seen a very Quick Reaction to the Delta Variant, so while italy has put a View Restrictions on uk travellers, spain has not done so yet, and i think as you said, that is a reflection of how much, how important british travellers are to their economy, tourism makes up a very large part of the spanish economy, and british tourists are a huge part of that, so they wont be rushing into any decision quickly as far as making british Tourists Quarantine on arrival in spain. Germany, they have been much faster in their reaction, they have just come out of lockdown themselves in june, so those restrictions have been put on understandably to protect their economy as well as to be able to protect their people, but spain is definitely taking longer to put any restrictions on and that would be because of the impact that it could have on their economy as well. Thank you Fiona Forjoining us, have a good day and we will update you as soon as we hear anything from the government on any changes to the Travel Restrictions. More now on the death of tech pioneerjohn mcafee. The businessman was found dead in his barcelona prison cell on wednesday shortly after a Spanish Court approved his extradition to the United States to face charges of criminal tax evasion. John mcafee launched the first commercial Anti Virus Software in 1987 the program bearing his name still has 500 million users Around The World. He sold his company to intel in 2011 for more than 7 billion, but his life since then has been highly controversial, as Samira Hussain reports from new york. John mcafee was a hugely controversial figure but he was also wildly successful in his lifetime, most people remember him because of his surname, the surname that he gave to the company that he founded. Its Worth Remembering that back in the 80s, personal computers are just come onto the scene, and it was mcafee who realised being able to create Antivirus Software and marketing that was going to be wildly lucrative, something that he bet on and he made a lot of money from that bet. Mcafee became synonymous with Antivirus Software, but of course, with money came all sorts of problems for him, and one point he emigrated to allegedly avoid a litany of lawsuits, and at one point he fled to guatemala after the authorities wanted to question him in relation to the murder of a neighbour, something he always denied. The most recent allegations involving tax, not paying enough tax according to us authorities and reason earnings because throughout his life mcafee was always able to make money, he was a very good speaker, libertarian, crypto enthusiast, still able to make money and allegedly he simply did not pay the taxes he owed to the us government, they tried to extradite him from spain and he and his family always said if that were to happen, he might spend the rest of his life injail, and that was clearly something that he simply did not want to do and didnt think would be palatable. Lets turn to the uk economy now, and the question of rising inflation. Consumer prices increased last month at their fastest pace in more than two years. Its an issue high on the agenda for the Bank Of England, which announces its latest Policy Decision in a few hours time. Does it continue to support the economic recovery, keeping Interest Rates close to zero and pumping billions of pounds of Stimulus Cash into the Financial System . Or does that risk letting inflation take hold . Dr linda yueh is an economist and author. Lovely to see you. Give us your take on what the Bank Of England might do today, most believe they will be no change in policy today but the discussion is what to do in the months ahead. Months ahead. That is the consensus months ahead. That is the consensus that months ahead. That is the consensus that the months ahead. That is the consensus that the bank l months ahead. That is the | consensus that the bank is unlikely to move on its cash Injection Programme and it will most likely keep its rates at rock bottom. There was one dissenting vote at the Chief Economist of the Bank Of England who was due to step down shortly, and i dont think anyone expects a different pattern this time, i think what the bank indicates will be what most of us, especially economists will be looking for, but without an Economic Forecast changing, in terms of what the bank tends to look at in terms of data, they are also unlikely to act but in the months ahead, i think we will be seeing whether or not they are viewed as inflation is transitory, and that will likely remain, but the speed of recovery is faster than what the previous forecasts have been, and are very similar pattern happened in the United States where its central bank decided to move forward by about one year when they expect Interest Rates to rise in 2024 2023, so that the pattern lots of people will be keeping an eye on, when eventually it comes out from the Bank Of England. Comes out from the bank of encland. Comes out from the bank of encland. ,. , england. That Chief Economist ou england. That Chief Economist you referred england.

That Chief Economist you referred to, this is you referred to, this is actually his last meeting with the Monetary Policy committee before he exits and he said that inflation may never be deadin that inflation may never be dead in britain risks a Wage Price Spiral Reminiscent of the 70s and the 1980s, and we had data out yesterday that a closely watched survey showing the input costs have risen at their fastest rate for some 13 years, factories are struggling to source materials right now, and there are a lot of indications that price rises will go up and up in the months ahead, but as you say, it is this whole debate about whether it is a short term issue or whether it can have a long term negative impact. Whether it can have a longterm negative impact. Negative impact. There is a lot of drivers negative impact. There is a lot of drivers in negative impact. There is a lot of drivers in terms negative impact. There is a lot of drivers in terms of negative impact. There is a lot of drivers in terms of pushing | of drivers in terms of pushing up of drivers in terms of pushing up raw material prices, one is pent up demand, so as restrictions begin to live, here and elsewhere, that is also increasing the demand for commodities like copper and other things, there have also been Resupply Change restrictions, because a pandemic and border closures, there is a larger disruption to there is a larger disruption to the commodity sector, so Commodity Prices are expected to rise, but if, and this is a big if, they begin to come down, which is largely speaking what the central bank and others expect, because both of those factors will begin to recede as the vaccinations this increase, we dont necessarily expect the kind of big rush of Commodity Prices to continue, but they will likely remain elevated for some time because lots of countries are investing to build back or build back better, so what tends to happen is when you have an increase in input prices, firms will be thinking do i need to raise prices and workers will think should i be asking for higher wages, and thats what andy held dean was referring to, the Wage Price Spiral because prices are set on the basis of wages and input prices, so expectations of inflation, fairly absolutely is what we should be watching for to determine whether the Bank Of England where had next. You so clearly exoiain england where had next. You so clearly explain it, england where had next. You so clearly explain it, thank england where had next.

People in hong kong have been lining up to buy the Pro Democracy the last edition of the Pro Democracy newspaper apple daily. The end of an era, isnt it, katie . It ofan era, isnt it, katie . It absolutely is. It began as something of a tabloid. Paparazzi photos of celebrities as well as catchy headlines over the 26 years that apple daily has been in operation, it was at free speech, it was one of the harshest critics of ageing. Reporters was not even able to report from china including during the 20,008 olympics. In the last year came under increasing pressure and now it says it is too unsafe to continue. We saw, for example, arrest last year of its founder jimmy lai, he was charged with a string of offences. Then we have seen for example officers raiding their offices as well as executives arrested and freezing of their assets all under this security law. For many it was the end of an era and really one of the critics of ageing and one of the symbols of democracy there. Katie, thank you for that good to see you as well.

This time last year, a heat wave was under way, several days with temperatures topping 30 celsius in the hotspots. If you are tempted by heat like that, be careful what you wish for. A record breaking heat wave is gripping eastern areas of europe at the moment. And on wednesday, estonia set a new National Temperature record forjune, near 35 celsius. No extreme heat like that in our forecast anytime soon. In fact, theres a chance of rain, as two Weather Systems work southwards as we go on through thursday. This first impacting parts of england and wales very light and patchy rain. Some more substantial rain, though, working in from these fronts, into scotland and Northern Ireland. May bring some useful rain to some areas that have been very dry so far this month. So after a dry start in much of scotland, The Rain Moves South in the afternoon. After a few sunny spells, into Northern Ireland. For northern england, wales, the midlands and the southwest, we start with the cloud and patchy rain, just pushing down toward Southeastern Areas by evening, as it clouds over after some sunshine. But in the afternoon, it brightens up across much of northern england, wales, into southwest england. Northeast england could be near 2a degrees. Closer to 1a in Northern Scotland in the strengthening northerly wind. Overnight and into friday, the rain moves out of scotland, Northern Ireland. This next spell of it works south through much of wales and parts of england, and we will see that cooler Weather Filtering down towards scotland and Northern Ireland on the brisk breeze. But for many, its a very mild start to friday. And on through friday, it looks as if parts of england and Eastern Scotland most likely to see some rain. Elsewhere, you may catch a shower, but a tendency for things to brighten up as the day goes on. It is turning a bit cooler from the north at this stage, especially in those northerly winds in scotland. Now, these Weather Fronts and low pressure continue to very slowly try to clear southwards as we go into the weekend. Still with a lot of cloud, particularly through england and wales, as saturday begins. A few sunny spells develop, and there will be some patchy rain that tends to turn more showery during the day. It looks as if scotland and Northern Ireland will be mainly dry and get to see most of the sunny spells on saturday. And then by sunday, whilst most areas look as if theyre going to be dry, theres still the chance of catching a shower. Maybe a few heavier ones, down towards Southern England and perhaps south wales. Whereas elsewhere, we get to see some sunshine. Temperatures are creeping up a trend that continues into next week. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Our headlines today. The latest rules on foreign travel will be set out today, with the Travel Industry calling for an expansion to englands green list.
