This is our mission. May history be able to say that the end of this chapter of american darkness began here tonight. Scottish fans could be watching live sport in stadiums by next month. Its after first minister Nicola Sturgeon says that limited numbers with strict physical distancing could be allowed inside stadia from the 14th of septermber. Good morning. An unseasonably windy speu good morning. An unseasonably windy spell of weather on the card to the next couple of days. The wind is Strong Enough to bring some disruption and the threat of some coastal flooding as well. I will keep you up to date. Its friday the 21st of august. Our top story. The portuguese Prime Minister, antonio costa, has offered a warm welcome to british visitors after his country was added to uks list of travel corridors, meaning there is no need to quarantine after returning home. But the travel industry says the relaxation comes too late to save its summer. The new rules, effective from 4am tomorrow, also impose quarantine orders on anyone returning from croatia, austria or Trinidad And Tobago. Simonjones reports. The beaches in portugal look set to get a whole lot busier. The country has been added to the uks safe travel list as coronavirus cases there fall. Last year it attracted 2. 5 million british tourists. Portugals Prime Minister tweeted. But holiday firms are warning, it wont be enough to save the summer. Its going to be too late for the peak season. Its a very blunt instrument to use quarantine in the way that it has been used. And people have been extremely nervous of travelling anyway during august. And from 4am tomorrow morning, anyone visiting croatia, austria and Trinidad And Tobago will now have to quarantine for 14 days when they reach the uk. It follows a rise in the rate of Coronavirus Infections in those countries. Theyjoin other holiday destinations including spain and france to which the Foreign Office advises against all nonessential travel. In croatia, there is sun, sea and now stress for those aiming to get home before the deadline. I should have been going to france last weekend and due to the quarantine on france, i changed my flight to croatia. My daughters fiance and his family all live here. But she booked me a flight tomorrow in case this did happen. Many of the 20,000 british tourists in croatia will also be heading to the airport. 0thers, though, are resigned to isolation when they return to the uk. I think welljust stay and then go back and then have to quarantine. And with the British Government prepared to add or remove countries from its list of travel corridors at short notice, its not the easiest time for those looking to get away from it all. Simon jones, bbc news. 0ur Political Correspondent helen catt is in westminster. We are talking to the transport minister grant shapps in about an hour and minister grant shapps in about an hourand a minister grant shapps in about an hour and a half, minister grant shapps in about an hourand a half, and minister grant shapps in about an hour and a half, and its very clear that if you are going on holiday now, you need to be keeping a close eye on the quarantine rules because they are changing frequently. Yes, this is a pretty established pattern now. We have seen it happened with belgium, france, with spain, this idea that somewhere where you could go to visit without having to quarantine on your return, that could change very quickly and you could change very quickly and you could find you have to do. Grant shapps the transport secretary drawing attention to that in a tweet last night, saying, only travel if you are content to unexpectedly quarantine 14 days if you require. Its also a possibility of being able to for some people, but portugal is the most significant country we have seen go at the other way, saying you can now go there without quarantine. The portuguese government quite annoyed they were not on the original list injuly, saying it was a decision not substantiated by the facts. As you heard some concern around the timings. Thank you very much, helen. We are going to talk to the transport secretary grant shapps at 7 30am. The us president ial candidate joe biden has promised to lead his country out of what he calls the darkness of its years under donald trump. In a speech to the democratic Partys National convention, mr biden said he would restore American Values like decency, science and democracy. 0ur correspondent david willis reports. This was the nominationjoe biden had sought for so long. Having run for president unsuccessfully twice before. Its a great honour, and with humility, i accept this nomination for president of the United States of america. 0h, United States of america. Oh, one day. Earlier, on the final night of the convention, tribute was paid to the democratic congressman and civil rights icon jon lewis democratic congressman and civil rights iconjon lewis who fought alongside martin new thinking for the right to vote. Will they get stolen from mailboxes as they get put in by the mail will they be taken from the mailman and the male women . The unifying trump at this convention had been donald trump, whether it was ridiculing him branding him a threat to american democracy. 0n the final night, the early emphasis is on stressing their candidate was much empathy through the story of a teenager who he helped 0vitz, a starter. The story of a teenager who he helped ovitz, a starter. And without joe biden, i wouldnt be talking to you today. Im you today. Beau joe biden, i wouldnt be talking to you today. Beau biden, joe biden is my dad. And linking his own heart wrenching story to the lives of millions of their own. Biden lost his son to brain cancer five years ago, his first wife and young daughter, to a car accident 43 years before that. I have some idea how it feels to lose someone you love. I know the deep black hole it opens up in the middle of your chest and you feel like youre being sucked into it. I know how mean and cruel and unfaircan be it. I know how mean and cruel and unfair can be sometimes. A feature of this Unconventional Convention has been that instead of a background of cheering crowds, speeches have been delivered via video link from largely empty event centres in different parts of the country. Joe biden and Kamala Harris continue campaigning mostly virtually. The final ten weeks of this president ial campaign are shaping up to be one of the strangest ever. Nurses are feeling over stretched and under valued, with nearly half saying they have considered quitting the profession since the pandemic began. Thats according to a large survey by the Royal College of nursing. Nearly 42,000 nurses responded to the survey. Three quarters of them reported experiencing more stress and a third said theyd been given extra responsibility but mostly without higher pay. The department of health said its committed to supporting all nhs staff. Officials in birmingham are concerned that the city could face tougher restrictions or a local lockdown. Its after a steep rise in Coronavirus Infections which have doubled since the start of the month. The leader of Birmingham City council described the increase as extremely concerning and urged residents to pull together. An air ambulance is on its way from germany to russia to help one of president putins fiercest critics after he suffered suspected poisoning. Alexei navalny fell ill while he was on a flight from siberia to moscow yesterday. His team say they believe a substance was put into his drink at the airport. A hospital in berlin is ready to treat mr navalny and a kremlin a kremlin spokesman said they will help him to be moved abroad, if necessary. Job vacancies across parts of the uk are down by more than three quarters compared with a year ago, according to data from the adzuna employment website. 0ne company in leeds, where advertised vacancies are down by 83 , received more than 1,000 applications for a packing role. Spencer stokes reports. I havent even had an interview, you know, not even a phone call, which has never happened. Within a week of applying last year, i had, i think i had four orfive interviews in three or four days. Sarah smith moved to leeds from london a year ago, and quickly found employment. She bought a house just before lockdown. But then lost herjob in may. Since then, shes applied for 2000 roles without success. Its scary, its really scary. Are we going to be able to cope . I managed to make my last pay stretch until august, and now im relying on my partner. We cant actually get any help with our finances at the minute because hes working. But its a massive struggle. According to the jobs website adzuna, leeds, swindon and crawley have been particularly badly hit by the reduction in available work, or registering 80 falls in adverts placed on the adzuna website. More people chasing fewer roles means some firms have been overwhelmed with applications. Like northern monk brewery in leeds. The hr manager here had the task of sifting through in excess of 1000 candidates for a packing job. When we posted the job, within the first day, we had a really high number of applicants. Weve never seen that before. We advertised the job for three weeks and at the end of that time we had had 1021 applicants for the job which is just way above what we would normally see for an application. Weve seen a significant rise in the number of people claiming Unemployment Benefits at the same time as we have seen vacancies falling by around two thirds. So as a consequence, now across the whole economy, theres about seven people, seven people claiming benefits for every single vacancy. Whereas before the crisis it was more like about one to 1. 5. Theres never been a tougher time to be a job seeker and to be looking for work. For sarah, thejob hunt goes on. She hopes to find work before the furlough scheme ends. Something thats likely to make the employment market even more competitive. Spencer stokes, bbc news, leeds. Doctors are calling for tighter rules on coronavirus Antibody Tests which are sold directly to consumers saying theyre putting Public Health at risk. The Royal College of pathologists has written to the Health Secretary warning that tests used without professional back up increase the risk of false results. No home Antibody Test has been officially approved for private sale in the uk. A contestant on the itv quiz show who wants to be a millionaire . Has won the big prize for the first time in 14 years.

A teaser, the new series is starting so obviously they have said, you havent it yet, it will happen but we will not tell you which episode it happens on. Congratulations to whoever won. It is 12 minutes past six. We are talking about this a lot this morning. Lets return to our top story now and those changes to the list of countries we can and cant visit without needing to quarantine afterwards. Bens looking at the impact on the travel and tourism sectors. Some good news in relation to portugal but across the travel industry, so many problems. Youd be forgiven for getting a bit confused this morning, where i have to quarantine from, the travel industry wa nt quarantine from, the travel industry want this to be clearer. It is very damaging, this uncertainty for their prospects. They were hoping the rest of the summer could be salvaged given that we have not been able to travel for so long. But a lot of them are telling us that it is increasingly difficult. Let me remind you of the quarantine rules. Back injune, the government announced everyone arriving back in the country would have to self isolate for 14 days. There were no exempted countries. It meant a lot of cancelled holidays and chaos for the travel industry. 0n the 10thjuly, so called travel corridors were introduced. It meant there was a list of countries exempt from the quarantine, places where holidays were deemed safer. Butjust a week or so later there was chaos when holiday makers in spain were given just hours to get back to the uk before theyd have to self isolate. It came after a spike of cases in the popular holiday destination. Thousands of brits caught up, including the transport secretary himself. Last week france was also taken off the exempt list cue another mad dash. Then, last night it was announced croatia and austria were also losing their exempt status. Its pretty confusing for both the travel companies and travellers themselves, including jonathan, from lancashire. He is currently on holiday in croatia with his family. They were due to fly back on saturday but they have now been trying to find an earlier flight to avoid the quarantine rules. We have just heard the rules that we have iiow just heard the rules that we have now got to quarantine when we get back into the uk, really annoyed about it. Most people in croatia are oii about it. Most people in croatia are on packages which get back over the weekend. 0ur on packages which get back over the weekend. Our flight was back in saturday afternoon, we now have to be backed by 4am saturday which is it possible to retrieve the speaker impossible to achieve. It is impossible to achieve. It is impossible to achieve. We were supposed to be in france, we had cancelled france on the basis of self isolation. 30 hours notice is not enough time, and the price of the flight has rocketed. There is a chance we might get back but it looks like we will have to do self isolation is a really disappointed. Disappointment from jonathan like many thousands of others who will be ina very many thousands of others who will be in a very similar situation. What does the industry make of all of this . We have had the disappointment from travellers but what about those trying to get us on holiday . Lets speak to the chief executive of the manchester aircraft group. These rules are in force to protect us these rules are in force to protect us if there is a spike in infections but what you make of them as an industry . It is evident that overall, passenger numbers are down, certainly in my company, probably operating a 25 capacity. Moving forward , operating a 25 capacity. Moving forward, the uk has to find a different way and a better way of notifying airports and customers on potential quarantine issues. More importantly for me, we have to find a different regime to allow people to fly to countries. It is issues such as testing, in germany, they have a test on arrival or potentially 48 hour is before you leave to your destination which ta kes leave to your destination which takes away the need of quarantine. In the uk we arent there yet. I think testing and having appropriate testing regimes in place is important for the remainder of the year and certainly as we move into the following year. Sorry, to interrupt. I wanted to pick you up on the idea of testing. You say we arent there yet, its rather a polite way of saying that the industry is pretty frustrated by the fa ct industry is pretty frustrated by the fact that we are not there with testing. How would you like this to change . What testing do you like to see, how would it work and what difference would it make for the industry . At this moment in time, heathrow have a pilot under way, they have got a facility in heathrow airport, they are able to do tests. What we are looking for is some guidance from the government, Public Health england, to actually specify what type of test and time scales you need to adhere to. Once you get that clarification, airports will be able to put facilities in place and passengers will be able to take advantage of tests. Ultimately the test will shorten the quarantine, but it wont take it away. It will set and it significantly. How do you think it set and it significantly. How do you think it will shorten it significantly. How do you think the government have handled this . The department for transport and the transport minister has been open and engaged with the sector but we need some collective responsible of the in cabinet, grant shapps cant take decisions on his own because it is Cross Department and collective response for the sea. There needs to be some more leadership in terms of what we do about testing. And we need to think about regionalisation. If you live in germany at the moment, you can still fly to the canaries, but the uk has a blanket ban on spain. So we have 30 million passengers who we would normally fly to spain, and over1 million passengers to the canaries. So a regionalisation approach would approach the industry to recover. Testing and regionalisation are the two priorities of the department for transport and the sector. Is there a danger that that regionalisation, that local facility, the local idea ofa that local facility, the local idea of a lockdown that would allow you to go to certain parts of country and others, that just to go to certain parts of country and others, thatjust muddies the waters even more, and makes it even more confusing. Im not sure it actually does. If you think about the canaries, its a considerable distance from mainland spain. Dundee to barcelona is a shorter distance than spain to the canaries. We think regionalisation makes sense and equally, if you look at the german outcomes, it has been there. German tourists can visit the canaries and certain regions in spain, and their overall infection rate is significantly better than the uk. Lets talk about that idea of 12 quarantine when you get back. Do you think people are obeying it and playing by the rules . Because no one is checking. There certainly is checking in a place, whether people are obeying the rules, im not sure. I think uk people right through lockdown and the restrictions have been responsible. So im quite sure that most people will continue to adhere to quarantine rules. What would you have done differently, what would you like to see changed . I think its the ability to respond quicker, taking quicker decisions. Being quicker about quarantine and regionalisation because ultimately healthy is important but weakly we need to protect the economy. And if we need to protect the economy. And if we equally ready to protect the economy. If we cannot have better decisions, there will be more lost jobs across the uk as we go into the second half of this year and next year. Its important that we get quicker decisions, more transparency and better testing and regionalisation decision making. To you this morning. Great to talk to you this morning. Great to talk to you this morning. We have had a lot more from the industry and we will hear from them this more from the industry and we will hearfrom them this morning, we more from the industry and we will hear from them this morning, we will talk to travel firms and bars and restau ra nts talk to travel firms and bars and restaurants on both sides of the debate. Good news for portugal, not so good for croatia. Winners and losers in all of this and it is a rapidly changing picture. We will keep you up to date throughout the morning. Interesting talking about those countries for whom the corridor will no longer apply, speaking to the transport secretary at six 7 30am, we are interested in your experiences. Maybe you have come back from one of those countries, and are in quarantine, what did you actually have to do, did you fill out any forms, did anyone check on you as to what you are doing after you as to what you are doing after you came back . We are getting a mixed picture as to what checks are in place. You heard Manchester Airport bus charlie theyre talking about the boss talking about the nation there are checks taking place. Lets take a look at todays papers. The front page of the telegraph says that hospital admissions for coronavirus were inflated at the peak of the pandemic, as patients admitted for other illnesses were included in outbreak statistics. The guardians main story reports fears that birmingham could be placed under a local lockdown after a rise in cases there. The paper says concern over the rate of increase has prompted West Midlands police to openly discuss the prospect of a city wide lockdown. The times features the news that portugal has been ruled safe to travel to. The paper reports that airlines and travel companies are expecting a surge in bookings to the country, in time for the bank holiday. And the most read story on the bbc news website this morning is news that Singer Taylor Swift has donated £23,000 to a student struggling to raise the funds to take up a maths course at university. Have got time for the inside pages . Couple of good funds good ones here. Heavens above, a vicar who had vertigo, who claimed his church spire to raise repair cash. And he beat his fear of heights. It was a 165 foot spire. Can you see the ladder up the side of it . Also, i just wondered, the average family is getting to 216 plastic bottles of haircare products such as shampoo. How much would you contribute . 0ver a year. Sounds like a lot. 216 including shampoo and conditioner. I wondered how you would contribute to the household. I will do a tally. A couple of thoughts, give you the birthday today. Usain bolt. The 0lympics would have come and gone by now. You same belt would have been. He is 34 today usain bolt. I dont know whether i thought he was older or younger. The other one is that the demand for chickens is through the roof. Lots of people buying chickens, and they think this is because of the egg shortage, people worried about literally having enough eggs. This young lad has got a chicken as a pet. What did we learn today about how long takes a chicken to create an egg . 36 hours . 26 or 24. Amazing creatures. Egg making machines the time is 6 25am. Most hairdressers are now back open after months of closure but it seems not everyone is rushing back to them. Some people are embracing the natural colour which began to peek through during the lockdown and going grey gracefully. Emma Clifford Bell has been chatting to some of them. These women all have something in common. They are embracing their natural grey hair and ditching the dye. As life returns to the new normal, they wont be returning to the salon. Two months into lockdown, i was absolutely desperate to get it coloured. And then i think ijust had a wee light bulb moment. As soon as i made the decision, that was it, i knew at that point there was no going back. Everything revolved around a hairdressers appointment. Even if i was going to book a holiday. I would be working out if it fell within a two week period, would i need my hair coloured again in between . My husband actually pointed out that i saw my hairdresser more than sometimes i did my friends and my family. Theres some curiosity as to what my whole head of grey will look like, but initially, it was a little bit of a shock that it has come through. Its going to save me at least £600 per year. £600 per year . Yeah. For me, im going to stick it out and go full grey, when the rest of the colour comes out in my next cut. I think the most important thing is how you feel about it, not what your friends and family think. And have your friends and family been quite supportive of your new look . My daughters have, yes. Theyre very relaxed about it. My husband was much less happy. But then, hes mostly white himself now. It looks great on him. When ive spoken to friends about it, they have said, oh, you know, that might mean that you have to change your whole wardrobe because your hair colour goes with your wardrobe. But as its growing through, theyre being very supportive, saying it looks really nice. Do you think its harder for women to age, do you think men have it a bit easier . I think it is harderfor women. But im not sure whether its women who make it harderfor themselves. When a man goes grey, even quite young, they look distinguished and handsome. But you never really hear anyone saying that about a lady. What would you say to women who are considering it but not quite sold . I would say grey is the new blonde, because its people are really thinking it on trend. Give it a go, its only hair, it can be dyed back again if you dont like it. I feel like ive really started to grow into my hairstyle. I feel good. I feel me, actually. Its good to see the smiles there. Some fantastic out there, brilliant. You are watching bbc breakfast, still to come. Dog owners in germany will have to walk their pets twice a day, for at least an hour, under a new law. Well be asking if there could be support for similar rules here. Thats coming up shortly and well also bring you the latest news, but the time now is 6. 28am. Now lets get the weather with sarah. That is a very dark and moody sky. It is. I think we will see some seems a little bit like this this morning today i think we will see some scenes like this today. We have got some stormy and windy weather. You will notice the strength of the wind today. In terms of the rain, sunshine and heavy showers, a few thunderstorms as well. What we have is this deep area of low pressure, something you are more likely to see in october than august. Lots of isobars on the map moving in from the west. Heavy showers rotating around that area of low pressure with these really brisk winds coming in. The windiest weather across parts of western uk, those winds transferring eastward through the day. Rain in the Northern Ireland and england area pushes in over scotland. Elsewhere, sunny spells, scattered dampers, drier in the north of scotland. The gusts will be 40 to 50, around some some exposed coasts, it could be 60 to 70 miles an hour. That is enough to cause trees to come down, power cuts and the threat of coastal flooding. Particularly in the south and west. Temperatures still up to 25 degrees across eastern england. Most of us will seek damages on the high teens or low 20s. Sea temperatures in the low and 20s. Not quite as windy as today tonight, so they will ease tonight. A mild night with temperatures in the mid teens. Low pressure not far away tomorrow but starting to drift off closer to scandinavia so quite a lot of isobars on the map. But as many as we have got today. Similar data today, some sunshine and scattered heavy showers, the odd rumble of thunder. The wind gusts not quite 60 to 70, but still 30 to 40 quite widely, could be stronger and still a threat of flooding around coastal areas. Temperature wise cooler than today but reasonably mild. 21 or 22. The high teens across scotland and Northern Ireland. A bit of sunshine in between those showers. Heading into sunday, a bit of a change. The winds will be lighter for most of us, a cold front sinking south so showery rain initially for Northern Ireland and scotland, heavy showers in the south east later on. It will start to turn fresher particularly across the northern half of the uk. Temperatures in the mid teens. Warm in the south east but things will turn fresher as we head through the course of next week. Watch out for the strong blustery winds today, easing to the rest of the weekend. Hello this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Its 6. 31. Well bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning.

Thats the singer mika whos putting on a Charity Concert next month to raise money for his birth city of beirut, following the devastating explosion there. Well speak to mika before eight. And well be catching up with whispering bob harris as he clocks up 50 years of broadcasting. Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. The portuguese Prime Minister has offered a warm welcome to british visitors after his country was added to the uks list of travel corridors, meaning there is no need to quarantine after returning home. Croatia, austria and Trinidad And Tobago have been added to the list of countries which while require a two week period of isolation when people return to the uk. The changes apply to anyone returning to britain after four oclock on saturday morning. Nurses are feeling overstretched and undervalued, with nearly half saying they have considered quitting the profession since the pandemic began. That is according to a large survey by the Royal College of nursing. Nearly 42,000 nurses responded to the survey. Three quarters of them reported experiencing more stress and third said they had been given extra responsibility but mostly without higher pay. The government said it is committed to supporting all nhs staff. Joe biden has promised to lead his country out of what he cold the darkness of the yea rs what he cold the darkness of the years under donald trump. In a speech formally accepting the Democratic Partys nomination, joe biden said he would restore values like decency, science and moccasin. Those are the main stories this morning. Doctors are calling for tighter rules on coronavirus Antibody Tests which are sold directly to consumers saying theyre putting Public Health at risk. The Royal College of pathologists has written to the Health Secretary warning that tests used without professional back up increase the risk of false results. Lets get a view on this and some of todays other Health Stories from the gp, doctor fari ahmad. Good to see you, dr fari ahmad. How are you this morning . Im fine. Thank you, naga. What you think of these tests and their reliability . What people have been finding is that they have been able to buy kits and get them at home where you can test yourself and see if you have got the antibody and you can understand why people wanted it because Everyone Wants to know as they are ok. I think the issue is they are ok. I think the issue is the regulation around the type of kits that can come home and what the test m ea ns, kits that can come home and what the test means, so sometimes people think, its fine, im clear, but they had not been validated sufficiently so they have not tried that test on people and prevent that if 10 of the people have the infection that is exactly what our test shows and i think the concern is that because this isnt regulated and people are accessing these tests, they may be becoming more confident and changing how they behave, thinking they are immune or not, and it may not be true. How many people when they come to you ask to be tested . As gps, we actually cant test anybody. We have to guide them to the government website and they arrange their own tests. We still dont have access to Antibody Testing. Do you think you should . Yeah, i think it would be helpful. But the decision was made. There is not much consultation in this. We use everything we had. When we do have interaction with people who we think might have it, we then say, you can book a corona test are sometimes the receptionists are great and they help them bucket and then when the result comes back, they are coming back bit quicker than they were and that helps us to manage what is happening. I think particularly with little ones sometimes it would be had for to be able to do the testing and arrange testing ourselves, but we are where we are. What about flue, were getting to that season, arent we . How easy are you finding it to get in contact with people and get them in surgery for those . So, flue is going to be interesting this year. Certainly the concern is as we get into winter the number of cases that people are getting respiratory infections and temperatures which is pretty much what flue is, how people distinguish that from covid 19. City planners to try to immunise more people this year that we have been doing. 0f people this year that we have been doing. Of course, we will try to do that in a socially distance away. There are all sorts, locations to that. The other issue we are having is that when we order the flu vaccine, the order usually goes in few months before, so it takes a little bit of time for the manufacturer to make it, so we havent planned for this. I think they are manufacturing more and surgeries may start trying to get more. It will be very different, certainly where i work. We also do a lot of Health Promotion and people getting a blood pet basher checked and all sorts of other things, but but with all the social distancing and cleaning, were not going to be able to offer as much those, but i think if you ask for a flu jab and you get it, hopefully it will keep one cause of temperature and respiratory symptoms away from midwinter. 0k. Respiratory symptoms away from midwinter. Ok. Good to talk to you, dr fari ahmad. Have a good day. Now it is time for us to have a chat with jayne. So there has been a big boost for scottish sport, hasnt there . Yes. A big boost for sport in scotland, fans could be watching live matches from as early as next month. First minister Nicola Sturgeon announced that a limited number of spectators and with strict physical distancing in place could be allowed inside stadia from the 14th of september. It means the old firm match on october the 17th could have fans watching at parkhead. Scottish rugby is hoping the pro14 match between edinburgh and glasgow at murrayfield on the 28th of august will be used as a test event, with 700 spectators. We hope that from 14th september, sport stadium will be able to reopen, though only for limited numbers of spectators and restrict physical distancing in place. Some professional sporting events might be arranged for spectators before then with Scottish Government agreement to test the safety of any new arrangements. Englands last test match of the summer gets under way later this morning, and theyll be hoping its a lot drier than the last one. Rain and bad light in southampton ruined the second test, so england remain 1 0 up in the three match series. They havent won a series against pakistan in ten years. The england players, remember, have been in a bio secure bubble for the last two months, and captainjoe root says hes after one last push from his side. Weve not got test cricket till next year now, so weve got no excuses, every opportunity to go out there and throw everything into this last game and thats all you can really ask of the group. Theyve worked really hard throughout this period. Theres been different challenges to put up with compared to a normal test summer and i think we responded well to them, to be honest. A few more weeks of really hard graft. Give everything to the team and the badge and each other and make sure that we finish strong. Its notjust the cricketers affected by the weather, after a blustery opening day at the womens open, the golfers will be hoping for better conditions at royal troon. Englands georgia hall, who won it in 2018, finished her round six shots off the lead, despite this lovely putt from off the green on the tenth. Its solheim cup winning captain catriona matthew, whos leading the british charge after she finished her round on level par. American amy 0lson is the overnight leader on four under. Back to football and aberdeen returned to action in the scottish premiership after 19 days out because of players breaching covid restrictions. They beat stjohnstone 1 0. Aberdeen had three fixtures postponed after eight of their players were found to have broken lockdown rules. Substitute ryan hedges deflected shot was enough to give them the win. And wayne rooney has been given his firstjob as a manager sort of. Hes going to be in charge of the england team at next months soccer aid match at old trafford. Rooney is 34 now, and is player coach at the championship side derby. He says its was a proud moment for him to be asked to be the england boss, he wont be doing it alone, hell have Sam Allardyce as his co manager. Sam allardyce, the only former england manager to have a 100 record. Back to you. Thats right, its one of those ones. Ive heard that stat before, you and me. I hadnt. There is more and more evidence about how sport benefits people. Since as far back as the 1960s, surfing has been associated with youth culture, rebellion and adrenaline rushes. But new research, published today, shows the sport can also be hugely beneficial to our Mental Health and wellbeing. Breakfasts john maguire has been finding out more. Believe it or not, ten years ago Charlotte Banfield had a phobia of water. I used to be really scared to go to the beach, go in the shower, go in the beach, go in the shower, go in the rain. It was more of a sensory thing. The feel of water used to release kerry. The feel of water used to release scare me. Charlotte has cerebral palsy, autism and anxiety. When her mum signed her up for a surf therapy session, part of the wave project, it changed her life. Soi so i still have bad days where i get really anxious and i feel like i cant leave the house. When im having those days, i literally get my surfboard, get my wet suit, get in the carand my surfboard, get my wet suit, get in the car and go because i know that as soon i get in the sea, ill feel better again. Its like the sea has some magic hailing properties. It just works, instantly. Cha rlottes recovery is such that last year she won the english adaptive surfing contest and she has a masters degree in marine biology. Today shes at the wave, the artificial surf lake near bristol, and its founder has long been an advocate for what is known as blue health, hailing powers of water and the sea. For nick, his belief became a reality six months ago. I suffered a massive stroke and it became part of my rehabilitation, being here, being in water, swimming alone and starting to realise that the connectivity with my brain and my health was a big part of rehabilitation and i really believe that thats a massive part of how ive managed to recover, my speech coming back, so quickly. Charlotte and nick are prime examples of the benefits of surfing. Highlighted in a report published today by the wave, it looks at how the sport can help physical and mental well being, especially considering the impact of covid 19. This doctor from the National University of ireland, galway, is a surfer and has studied what happens to the brain and the body when in the water. Being in or on or near water and set being actively engaged in it helps to boost immunity and the nervous system, our hormonal system, respiratory system, and even our heart rate can start to slow in response to these environments. Sport therapy has a well established track record. Jacob kelly runs recovery through sport, an nhs scheme that uses football to help people with Mental Health issues. Now a Pilot Project here hopes to repeat that success through surfing. We see recovery, people recovering from doing the sport sessions and we think that we are going to get it here, seeing drastic changes in their Mental Health and physical health. Also a lot of them were in contact with their families and they have said since coming to the session it has made a huge difference and in their relationship with her family member, which is amazing. It is great to hear. From the blues to blue health, the power of waves and helping people to ride out the storm. John maguire, bbc news, south of gloucestershire. It is just it isjust coming up it is just coming up to it isjust coming up to 6 35am. 6. 45am. Joe biden hasjust made the biggest speech of a political career which has spanned the last five decades, including eight years as barack 0bamas vice president. He is now the democrats pic for the topjob and he is now the democrats pic for the top job and he he is now the democrats pic for the topjob and he has been talking to his Party Convention and saying how he plans to beat donald trump in novembers election. We are going to speak to someone from the us politics website the hill on it. First, lets get a sense of the speech. This is our moment. This is our mission. We should be able to say that the end of this chapter of american darkness began here, tonight. Lets talk to al. Morning, al. People in the uk will maybe only see little bits of this speech. If you could give us a sense of the tone and what it felt like. 0dd you could give us a sense of the tone and what it felt like. Odd to say in the rim because it is not like that, but as it was broadcast. What did you make of it . Well, you mentioned it was probably the biggest speech of his career and i think he would say that himself also. It was a speech you could tell he took with a certain amount of importance, a sense of seriousness. The thing that was really striking was the sense of an 0val the thing that was really striking was the sense of an oval office address. We usually have a Party Convention speech before 20,000 fans or Convention Speech before 20,000 fans ora Convention Speech before 20,000 fans or a crowd of 20,000 partygoers and it involves a lot of applause lines, canned lines by the crowd. This involved none of that. This involved a lot of serious talk, talking a lot about the coronavirus and we have a lot of stuff over here with that and i think he knew that it was a really important speech for him. It was the biggest part of his campaign so far and the most important event of the campaign trail for another 40 days or so campaign trail for another 40 days or so before debates start, so it was a really important night for him to get out, speak to all of the vote rs to get out, speak to all of the voters that he is trying to talk to, a lot of White Working Class folks in Battle Ground states out here and i think you did that. You will hear a lot of stuff from democrats like they are very pleased about it and i thinkjoe biden they are very pleased about it and i think joe biden himself they are very pleased about it and i thinkjoe biden himself is probably pleased with what he accomplished tonight. How important is the personal stuff, because i have seen some of the things he went through in his speech about his own life and the loss he suffered before. Is that a really important part of him letting people know just a really important part of him letting people knowjust the person he is . Well, its part of his story and its part of the tone that he always speaks in. I remember back in february or january i always speaks in. I remember back in february orjanuary i went out on the campaign trail to iowa and you would see him go out and try to speak to these small crowds of 100 people and he would have a personal touch and you could almost see through on the television screen. He has to put it out there. We have lost 170,000 americans added to the coronavirus and also 5 million cases and there is no stop insight at this point so it is a touch that he has to have, especially as we enter the la st two to have, especially as we enter the last two months of the race. It is one that he is going to have, i am certain of that. Really it is a contrast between him and the president. It really is a tough time. He doesnt have many shifts in tone. He kind of has one and biden has a bunch of different dials he can hit. I think that is something youll see for the rest of the campaign. Some people say he is only a head as he is in the polls with not long to go, he is only ahead by default, effectively. Im not sure about that. I think biden is going out and earning it at this point. You look at the polls and he is up eight points nationally and he is up ina lot eight points nationally and he is up in a lot of key Battle Ground states. You look at florida, pennsylvania, those are the two that a lot of people are looking at. He is up by at least five or six points if you look at the public pulse. If you talk to the presents team, they are saying they are a little more optimistic about their standing but right now biden has to be pleased with where he is at. He is a better place than where Hillary Clinton was four years ago in the Battle Ground states and urc on this in the tone that he is talking on. He is talking to the White Working Class voters that went out on a limb for years go unsupported President Trump and right now they may feel burned about that and that is who he is speaking to and you saw that in his speech tonight. Al, good talking to you this morning. We will catch up with you again im sure during the campaign. Thank very much. Perhaps you are thinking about walking the dog very soon. There is some dog walking is that we have to bring you. If youre just about to walk your dog, hold on for a moment we have some canine news. Dog owners in germany could soon have to exercise their animals twice a day, for at least an hour in total or face prosecution. Brea kfasts Jayne Mccubbin is at a park in wirral to see what people there think of the idea. Morning, jayne. Good morning, jayne. You can heroes. Organised chaos, perhaps . Yeah. Can i tell you which dog has been the worst behaved. It is murphy, steve the cameramans dog. Marty you cant be angry for too long. We have lots of dog friends out with us this morning in the rain in wirral. Let me did the introductions. Ok, first up, the white dog called teddy. Nice to meet you, teddy. This is oscar. Oscar has just come along and made friends today. Yes, you think youre a human. And then we have a lovely little dog, sean, with the auburn code. This is to leave. Good morning, tilly and over at the back is the old lady of the group, who is the same age as me in human years, 49. This is breeze. We are all here to discuss this plan in germany to legalise dog walks. Is it a good idea . We will chat about it in a minute. Had a look at this. Coco come on honey come on, honey behold the pure unadulterated joy of walkies. The point is this. Dogs love walkies, even dogs with tiny little legs. She willjust go for miles and miles and shes loved lockdown because shes had so many walks. Shesjust, like, loving it. He might look cute, but. Dont be deceived, very vicious. Do you think if she didnt go for walks, she would be more aggressive . Definitely. 11096. In germany, they think walks are so important for dogs they want to enshrine them in law. Youve heard of the reservoir dogs. Well, these are a gang who hang out and go for walks, long, behaviour improving walks, with sarah, a professional walker. Youre a great believer in walkies tackling dog depression. We are. Have you seen examples of this . Erm, yes. We had a chap who phoned us up to say that he had a full time job and he came home and there was a little bit of wall of his kitchen missing and then as the day has went on, in the end the whole of the doorframe had been eaten away. Oh, my goodness a bid forfreedom. A bid for freedom, boredom, something to do, and just being left for a long time and now he comes out on the walkies with us. In germany, if legislation is voted through, dogs like nelly could be legally entitled to two walks a day for at least an hour a day. Her humans approve. Yeah, thats good. Id agree with that. Yeah, they need that much exercise and its good for us as well, isnt it . She has been a very good girl. You guys are here because you can afford to have a dog walking service. How often do you do it . We do it every day of the week when we are at work. If this became the law and you were someone who couldnt afford to do a dog walking service, do you think thats fair . If youre working all day and you cant afford a dog walking service, then really you probably shouldnt have a dog. While many might welcome the ethics of the situation, is it really practical . Let me introduce bertie and his human, matt. Do you see consequences of dogs that havent got out enough . Oh, yes. We see an awful lot of overweight dogs with diabetes, heart disease, joint problems. As a vet, then, is that a policy you would like to see replicated in the uk . Honestly, my opinion is no. I think a blanket policy like that is an issue for different breeds of dog, so the likes french bulldogs are going to struggle for longer walks, and similarly there is going to be some dogs that are going to need to go out for an awful lot longer. Not all dogs are equal, just like their humans. And when dogs outnumber Police Officers 80 to one here, its hard to see how a policy like this could ever be imported and enforced. If only the microphones had been faded up through that film because he would have heard an International Incident kicking off with murphy, the cameramans dog, trying to steal the cameramans dog, trying to steal the ball. They have calmed down now. Right, is this a good idea. What do you think about this at home . We would love to hear from you. Let me introduce our guests. It morning, robert mcnulty. You are a vet. |j introduce our guests. It morning, robert mcnulty. You are a vet. I am. Tell me what you think of this. Robert mcnulty. You are a vet. I am. Tell me what you think of thism you look at studies of dog aggression, you will find that under exercised dogs are overrepresented every time, but this is a blanket rule and as you can tell from our friends, one size doesnt fit all. Things like a 60 year old chihuahua doesnt need an hour of exercise. Things like a young Border Collie needs far more. We would be better choosing the dog that fits our lifestyle and then educating them to know what the lifestyle of their dog needs to be rather than trying to beat them with legislation. Someone is missing here today. My dog would just destroy this place. Luna, if you are watching at home, good morning. We will introduce you. You area morning. We will introduce you. You are a professional dog walker. Youll love this idea. I do, its brilliant. Dogs definitely need a lot of time. Laughter i know, shes going mad how much walking does she need for cyan this little one, because she is only young, 20 minutes as the max per day. With these two, teddy goes for a walk with me foreign hour and three dozen hour in the morning and then their mums and dads take them out in the evening as well. So they get loads of walks. We have literally pounced on mike, who was just going for a dog walk. We said, do you want to be on the telly . And he said, go on then. How do you feel about being arrested for not taking dog walks . It wouldnt happen because i always go for walks. I think we need to be responsible and it comes down to ultimately being a decent person but i think stronger laws against people. You dont do the right thing. Oscar, give as a last bark. No, none of it. We will see you later. He was just waiting for the right moment. I think if we had held on for a minute, he was going to perform for us. There we go. Some very excited dogs. That little one was really going. A lot of energy. I wonder how much energy there is in the weather today. Sarah is going to liven it up for us. I dont know if you actually need to because it looks like it is going to because it looks like it is going to be really lively. Yes, i think lively is the word. If you are walking your dog out today, well, dogs dont notice bad weather, it is on the other humans who have to prepare for the weather because we have got some strong winds and some heavy rain around too but it is surely going to be the winter that is going to be the main feature of the weather to today and into tomorrow as well. We have gales around which could cause some disruption. There will be some sunshine around and also some heavy showers and the odd rumble of thunder as well. We have an unseasonably deep area of low pressure moving its way in from the west and lots of isobars as you can see on the chart indicating the strength of that wind, wrapping around the area of low pressure, bringing in plenty of showers, mainly in the north and the west, there was heavy showers. We have already had some persistent rain for Northern Ireland and Northern England and scotland will see that more persistent rain. Elsewhere, it isa more persistent rain. Elsewhere, it is a story of sunny spells and scatter, blustery showers. Lets ta ke scatter, blustery showers. Lets take a look at the strength of the winds because they will be gusting really pretty widely at about 40 mass parabola, even 50 mums per hour across some parts of Northern England. Around coastal parts of wales and through the english channel, 60 and perhaps 70 mph winds, so that could be enough to bring down some small trees, there could be some power cuts and travel disruption and the threat of coastal flooding as well because we have got spring tides, strong winds, and large waves, particular parts of South West England and into wales has well. Temperatures still quite warm, 25 degrees or the high teens across scotland and Northern Ireland. Through this evening at tonight, it will still be blustery, not quite as when is earlier on in the day but there will be further heavy showers rattling through. You might hear the odd rumble of thunder, particularly in the west overnight tonight. Still mild with temperatures sitting in the mid but he will certainly notice the strength of the went if you are camping to the course of the night. Into tomorrow, low pressure not far away but starting to drift off towards scandinavia, so not as many isobars on the map, not quite as windy tomorrow as it will be today but it is a fairly similar sort of day and if it is blustery, the sunshine and showers and more persistent rain for Northern Ireland and northern ingrid for a time but that it and northern ingrid for a time but thatitis and northern ingrid for a time but that it is away during the afternoon so some spells of sunshine, gusts typically around 25 or 30 mph for most of us, not as blustery but still fairly windy out there. Temperatures 21 or 22 damn towards the south east, 18 or 19 across parts of scotland and Northern Ireland. Into sunday, pressure from the north. We have a cold front that will bring rain through the south of the day. Fresher conditions for scotla nd the day. Fresher conditions for scotland and Northern Ireland. Still reasonably warm in the south eastern things are looking less windy by the time we get to sunday. We have the headlines up next. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today. No more quarantine for people entering the uk from portugal, but those returning from croatia face two weeks isolation. Well hear from holiday makers, businesses abroad, an airport boss and the transport secretary about the impact of the quarantine policy. Overstretched and under valued. A survey claims nearly half of nurses have considered quitting since the outbreak of covid. So there were some days where i found it a lot more harder than others and i was coming home sometimes in the car and crying all the way home. Joe biden promises to lead america out of what he called its season of darkness as he formally accepts the Democratic Party president ial nomination. Scottish fans could be watching live sport in stadiums by next month. First minister Nicola Sturgeon says that limited numbers with strict physical distancing could be allowed inside stadia from the 14th of septermber. Its friday the 21st of august. Our top story. The portuguese Prime Minister, antonio costa, has offered a warm welcome to british visitors after his country was added to uks list of travel corridors meaning there is no need to quarantine after returning home. But the travel industry says the relaxation comes too late to save its summer. The new rules, effective from 4am tomorrow, also impose quarantine orders on anyone returning from croatia, austria or Trinidad And Tobago. Simonjones reports. The beaches in portugal look set to get a whole lot busier. The country has been added to the uks safe travel list as coronavirus cases there fall. Last year it attracted 2. 5 million british tourists. Portugals Prime Minister tweeted. But holiday firms are warning, it wont be enough to save the summer. Its going to be too late for the peak season. Its a very blunt instrument to use quarantine in the way that it has been used. And people have been extremely nervous of travelling anyway during august. And from 4am tomorrow morning, anyone visiting croatia, austria and Trinidad And Tobago will now have to quarantine for 14 days when they reach the uk. It follows a rise in the rate of Coronavirus Infections in those countries. Theyjoin other holiday destinations including spain and france to which the Foreign Office advises against all nonessential travel. In croatia, there is sun, sea and now stress for those aiming to get home before the deadline. I should have been going to france last weekend and due to the quarantine on france, i changed my flight to croatia. My daughters fiance and his family all live here. But she booked me a flight tomorrow in case this did happen. Many of the 20,000 british tourists in croatia will also be heading to the airport. Others, though, are resigned to isolation when they return to the uk. I think welljust stay and then go back and then have to quarantine. And with the British Government prepared to add or remove countries from its list of travel corridors at short notice, its not the easiest time for those looking to get away from it all. Simon jones, bbc news. Our europe correspondent gavin lee is in the croatian capital, zagreb. Gavin, how have people there responded to this news . Because we were speaking only yesterday to a croatian bar owner who was still hopeful, fairly confident that croatia would not be on the list. But we are where we are. How has the knees been received . Bed the news been received . Bed the news been received . Bear this in mind, more than anywhere else in europe, croatia relies on tourism. One year in every six in the country is from the industry. 1 euro in every six. Notjust the uk, but germany, austria, italy and slovenia have all put quarantine rules in place which is hitting the industry hard. You have on the one hand the fact that not just the uk have on the one hand the fact that notjust the uk but germany and france are quoting the fact that tourists returning from the dalmatian coast, split and dubrovnik, the tourists there are starting to be the cluster of cases returning to other countries. At the start of the pandemic, people were starting to talk about people who went on holiday in austria and italy and then went home were being blamed, and then now people in split and dubrovnik are being blamed for spending the virus. I have spoken to a number of families who say that the one issue that they have got here, unlike when you and i spoke last week when they had trains and ferries to choose from, there are relatively few flights. So some of the flights are now eight times the cost if people want to come back before quarantine kicks in tomorrow morning at 4am. Its going to be very difficult today. Thank you very much. Well be speaking to the transport secretary, grant shapps, at half seven. The us president ial candidate joe biden has promised to lead his country out of what he calls the darkness of its years under donald trump. In a speech to the democratic Partys National convention, mr biden said he would restore American Values like decency, science and democracy. Our correspondent david willis reports. This was the nominationjoe biden had sought for so long, having run for president unsuccessfully twice before. So its with great honour, and humility, i accept this nomination for president of the United States of america. Oh, one day. Earlier, on the final night of the convention, tribute was paid to the democratic congressman and civil rights icon john lewis who fought alongside Martin Luther king for the right to vote. On the final night, the early emphasis was on stressing their candidates empathy through the story of a teenager who he helped overcome a stutter. And withoutjoe biden, i wouldnt be talking to you today. Im beau biden, and joe biden is my dad. And linking his own heart wrenching story to the lives of millions of americans suffering problems of their own. Biden lost his son to brain cancer five years ago, his first wife and young daughter, to a car accident 43 years before that. I have some idea how it feels to lose someone you love. I know that deep black hole it opens up in the middle of your chest and you feel like youre being sucked into it. I know how mean and cruel and unfair life can be sometimes. A feature of this Unconventional Convention has been that instead of a background of cheering crowds, speeches have been delivered via video link from largely empty event centres in different parts of the country. Joe biden and Kamala Harris intend to continue campaigning mostly virtually. The final ten weeks of this president ial campaign are shaping up to be one of the strangest ever. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. Officials in birmingham are concerned that the city could face tougher restrictions or a local lockdown. Its after a steep rise in Coronavirus Infections, which have doubled since the start of the month. The leader of Birmingham City council described the increase as extremely concerning and urged residents to pull together. An air ambulance is on its way from germany to russia to help one of president putins fiercest critics after he suffered suspected poisoning. Alexei navalny fell ill while he was on a flight from siberia to moscow yesterday. His team believe a substance was put into his drink and say it is dangerous for him to remain in hospital in russia. A kremlin spokesman said they will help him to be moved abroad, if necessary. Doctors are calling for tighter rules on coronavirus Antibody Tests which are sold directly to consumers, saying theyre putting Public Health at risk. The Royal College of pathologists has written to the Health Secretary warning that tests used without professional back up increase the risk of false results. No home Antibody Test has been officially approved for private sale in the uk. The pop star taylor swift has donated £23,000 to a student so that she can take up a maths course at warwick university. Vitoria mario, who is portuguese but lives in london, set up an Online Fundraising page because she isnt eligible for any maintenance loans or grants. Shed already raised nearly half the money she needed when the american singer songwriter chipped in the remainder, with a message saying good luck with everything you do. The time is nine minutes past seven. Nurses are feeling over stretched and under valued with nearly half saying they have considered quitting the profession since the pandemic began. Thats according to a major new survey by the Royal College of nursing. Well speak to its chief executive in a moment but first lets hear what these nurses had to say about their experience of the last few months. I just recently qualified in october. So its been a bit of a scary time for us newly qualified nurses, you know. At first, it was just so confusing, because even the information we had about this coronavirus wasnt clear. I think the peak of this pandemic was very, very hectic and chaotic, thats how i would kind of describe it because there was a lot of uncertainty for us. Nobody actually knew, are we doing this right or wrong . I have never been involved in anything like this, the very, very first time. So i was really also stressed and worried, whats going to happen. When the pandemic actually hit and when we were at our peak, the number of patients really overwhelmed us in the intensive care unit. I was coming home sometimes in the carandjust crying all the way home. I suppose Mental Health stresses that we were under, lots of people were very concerned. We were all very concerned about family at home. If i had a bad day at work or if i see something on the tv and its negative and i feel that fear that were going to get back into that second wave, i cant help it, ijust get this really bad anxiety and even now i really struggle to try and relax and get some sleep after that. But i just try to take it one day at a time. Its been quite hard for everybody, notjust myself. But we come together and we have become stronger as a team and as a wee family. So im dead proud of us all. Dame Donna Kinnair is the chief executive of the Royal College of nursing. She joins us from east london. Very good morning to you. That was just a snapshot of a few voices of nurses and how they are feeling right now. It lea pt nurses and how they are feeling right now. It leapt out at anyone looking at your survey to see that half of those that he questioned are now thinking about quitting or have thought about quitting during the pandemic, what you make of that . Well, its true, more than half are saying that they feel like quitting. Partly because they have been through such a stressful time. And actually what nurses have done is demonstrated their professionalism ina way demonstrated their professionalism in a way that has never been seen before there. Certainly not during my time. They have stepped up and they have served their patients. Remember, we started this pandemic with 50,000 less nurses than we should have had. And actually even though we had many volunteers, we we re though we had many volunteers, we were not able to effectively utilise them all. So actually, over 50 of nurses said that better Staffing Levels would make them feel valued. But more importantly, 73 said improved pay would make them feel more valued. We know that this profession has been neglected in terms of pay for far too long. So we have seen the clapping and the appreciation and we value that stop but it is time the government to now step forward and give the nurses pay increases they deserve. Is your sense that the politicians have been happy to pay tribute to messes and recognise the work they have been doing, but have not stepped up to the plate in doing something tangible, and according to this survey, make a tangible difference not only to pay packets which itself would be worthwhile but making them feel that they are doing a job which is worthwhile and being recognised . Well, i think the country has seen how hard nurses have worked during this pandemic. And therefore its only right that the profession and the work that they do is valued and recognised. They were on the front line, putting their own lives at risk. And it exposed for all the intense and hard work that nurses do. So i think, yes, it has been fantastic, but we cannotjust rely on clapping. The public has shown its appreciation but the government announced needs to step up and show its appreciation. Could you finish that sentence for us, anyway . Or what . We have really seen from our survey that many nurses are thinking of quitting the profession. So we know that the pandemic is not over. We know we need them. As you heard from those nurses that spoke earlier, they themselves are terrified about a second wave or what is to come in the future. But they still professionally continued to serve. What we do not want to do is go into another pandemic with people quitting our profession. And we know that over the last ten yea rs, we know that over the last ten years, that has been happening. People have felt that with the responsibility that they are holding, it is not commensurate with pay and they have preferred to go and work in a supermarket. We lose all those valuable skills and knowledge that we need to care for the patients in this country. Are you worried about the knock on effect to recruitment . Well, the government has said that we have more people showing an interest in nursing, but what we know is when you are starting with such a deficit, and it takes three years to traina nurse, deficit, and it takes three years to train a nurse, we cannot afford to lose any more. So we dont want anybody walking. And what nurses have clearly told us is that pay makes them feel valued, but also, so does that say staffing. If we want to maintain the staffing, so does safe staffing. If we want to maintain the staffing, we need to make sure that nurses are paid properly. We know that front line nurses have been very hard hit by the pandemic themselves, and i remember at the beginning of all the problems, there were stories of nurses who contracted coronavirus who very sadly died and that has been ongoing. But alongside that, what about the stories of day to day behaviour and what theyre having to deal with and cope with . Well, i think every single day that you go into work, you are actually having to cope with the coronavirus and people who have the coronavirus. But dont forget, during this period of time when the nhs actually wasnt providing normal services, we have had many other things that have happened to come to light. We know that we have got to work far harder to make sure that the cancers that have been diagnosed or treated, and many, have been diagnosed or treated, and any have been diagnosed or treated, and many, many more diseases that have gone unnoticed or not dealt with. So actually, there is so much more work to be done. So we have not only got the covid 19 happening at the moment, but Everything Else is being piled on on top. So actually, if nurses are already saying there is a huge impact on their well being, they dont have enough staff, the support that the government needs to put in it now is both of those things. Thank you very much for your time this morning, chief executive of the Royal College of nursing. Talking about that report how nursing staff are feeling in the pandemic. In amongst it is a statistic that over half of thinking about quitting because of what has been happening. Were talking this morning about changes to the list of countries we can and cant visit without needing to quarantine afterwards. Bens looking at the impact on different parts of the Tourism Industry. Good morning. No surprises for guessing, there is a bit more confusion this morning around where you can and cannot go on holiday without having to quarantine. Overnight some changes that mean that portugal, you will no longer have to quarantine from, but if you are coming back from croatia, you will. This morning we are looking at the implications for travel companies, for all of us try to go on holiday. But also the place is there like bars, restaurants and hotels who will be trying to work out what it means to them. Lets just remind ourselves of how we ended up here. Back injune, the government announced everyone arriving back in the country would have to self isolate for 14 days. There were no exempted countries. It meant a lot of cancelled holidays and chaos for the travel industry. On the 10thjuly, so called travel corridors were introduced. It meant there was a list of countries exempt from the quarantine, places where holidays were deemed safer. Butjust a week or so later there was chaos when holiday makers in spain were given just hours to get back to the uk before theyd have to self isolate. It came after a spike of cases in the popular holiday destination. Thousands of brits caught up, including the transport secretary himself. Last week france was also taken off the exempt list cue another mad dash. More confusion for both travel companies and travellers. Then, last night it was announced croatia and austria were also losing their exempt status. Portugal as we said, is now able to welcome travellers without them having to quarantine on their way home. So lets talk about some of that reprieve and what it could mean for those affected. Paul mikhelson owns a cafe on the algarve while Tomislav Fain owns several holiday businesses in the zadar region of croatia. They bothjoin me now. Good morning. You are at different ends of the spectrum, paul, let me start with you, welcome news and a bit of relief that people can come back to your bars and restaurants, without having to quarantine on their return, what will it mean for you . Good morning. It was quite a shock, we were not expecting it. But with anything that has been going on, we were kind of getting used to the fact that we would not be welcoming our british tourists here in the algarve this year. So it is a wonderful surprise. A wonderful surprise but are you ready . Do you have everything in place if there is as expected and influx of british tourists . Everything is in place. The portuguese have done a fantastic job so far with social distancing, with wearing masks, with disinfecting their hands. The rules are very strict. For example at the cafe we have to have two metres between each table. And what is fantastic is as i said, the portuguese are respecting all of these rules and regulations. Wejust hope now that when the english come, that they will abide by the rules. Because we sometimes are shocked with what we see on television, when we see certain behaviour, the behaviour of certain people, and thatis behaviour of certain people, and that is obviously extremely dangerous. Levels here have been very low. It has been under control and now we are just desperate to have our english tourists back, but we also hope that they will behave, ifi we also hope that they will behave, if i may say. We also hope that they will behave, ifi may say. Let we also hope that they will behave, if i may say. Let me bring in thomas lav. I know that you owned several businesses in the zr region of croatia. The zadar region. Now british tourists will have to quarantine on their return, what implications does that have for you and what pet will it have on the Summer Season . What impact will it have . This isnt good for anyone, it have . This isnt good for anyone, it isnt good for the economy here but it is not also good for people in croatia. Now they need to go back home in two days, they need to buy new tickets, they have already paid for accommodation and everything. So its really, your government, did they do some very fast moves in two days . And they have done it all the time. Sol days . And they have done it all the time. So i dont understand that. For us, its not good of course, because our revenue in our bars is just going down. And everyone in our tourist industry, we know that the brits are very good guess and they spend much more than other nations so we are very spend much more than other nations so we are very unhappy. Sorry to interrupt, i wanted to ask how the season had been so far given the number of people coming there, it was deemed to be relatively safe. And therefore, what are you expecting to happen now for the rest of the season . In onemoment, we had 80 of last year and last year was a re cord 80 of last year and last year was a record year. So it was going very well. Last week, we got restrictions from italy and austria, and yesterday from slovenia and the uk. We still have our guests from germany, Czech Republic so we are still on 50 of last year. So its not so bad. We are happy with that. But we are hoping that the situation with covid 19 will be going down so we will have less cases and sometimes these countries in the future will be removing us from the red list like portugal is for the uk. We wish you luck, good to talk to you and lets hope the rest of the season can pass over that too many problems. And also, pull in the algarve, paul in the algarve, thank you very much and best of luck welcoming back your visitors. Its really interesting how quickly fortu nes really interesting how quickly fortunes can change for countries right now given those restrictions and what it means about our behaviour. Many people now perhaps looking online to book a holiday to portugal when perhaps before they we re portugal when perhaps before they were considering croatia. So really quickly, this is changing and has huge implications for the travel industry and for the businesses that would normally be preparing to welcome a lot of visitors at this time of year. So quite a big change. Thank you very much. There are claims that russian doctors are refusing to let one of president putins fiercest critics leave hospital after he suffered suspected poisoning. Alexei navalny fell ill yesterday. Germany has sent an air ambulance to bring him to berlin for treatment but mr navalnys aide says hes not being allowed to leave siberia. Lets get more from our moscow correspondent sarah rainsford. Good morning. Maybe it is helpful first of all to just tell our audiences morning a little bit more about alex in a valley in the first place. Alexei navalny. About alex in a valley in the first place. Alexei navalny. He is basically the biggest voice of criticism of the kremlin that there is in russia here today. The face of the opposition in this country. Very well known for his Anti Corruption campaigning and investigations against people very close to power here, and also for supporting opposition candidates in elections here. So hes very well known, organised a lot of major protests and for that he has been multiple times. He is faced crippling fines, he has alleged in the past that he has been attacked and poisoned. This time seems to be a whole lot more serious. He felt extremely sick very quickly on board a flight out of siberia to moscow yesterday morning, and 24 hours later, he remains in a coma in hospital in siberia. We are told by the chief doctor there that his condition is still extremely serious. Conflicting reports about what might happen next. This air ambulance sent from germany and suggestions that hes not going to be allowed leave. What do you know . Well, thats right. We understand the airambulance is well, thats right. We understand the air ambulance is due to arrive imminently. This is something his family wants to happen, they would liked him to be evacuated to germany for treatment and toxicology tests because they want to know what has happened to him. Doctors in siberia have said he is not stable enough to be transported. The chief doctor has just made a few comments to journalists on the ground in omsk, and he said, if he was stable enough, he would be free to go but he said frankly anything could happen if we were allowed to leave hospital at this point. His family have sent a barrage of tweets, an emotional response to that accusing the doctors of holding Alexei Navalny at hostage. They say that this decision is deadly and dangerous for his life and he needs to be allowed to move to germany. Not only do they want to be sure that he has the best access to the best doctors and equipment, they also want to know what exactly has poisoned him. Thank you very much. You are watching bbc breakfast, in a few moments well be speaking to the transport secretary grant shapps. The time now is 7. 29. Now lets get the weather with matt. The weather with sarah. That is a lovely rainbow, however things . The weather with sarah. That is a lovely rainbow, howeverthings . How are things . Yes, this was a lovely rainbow glimpsed by one of our weather watchers in melton mowbray. Rain and showers today but the main feature of the weather will be strength of the wind. A deep area of low pressure so unseasonably strong winds, gales which are likely to cause disruption and a mix of some sunshine and heavy showers rattling through. Here is the area of low pressure moving its way through the west. We have already seen strong gusts of winds through the west parts of the british isles. We are likely to see a bit of coastal flooding. Potentially in South West England, wales, part of Northern Ireland and scotland, also with strong flood warnings today. The mix of sunshine and scattered showers. Some sunshine in the north of scotla nd some sunshine in the north of scotland but the gusts of wind will be up to 50 miles an hour even inland and around coastal parts of wales and southern england they could be 60, potentially 70 miles an hourin could be 60, potentially 70 miles an hour in the exposed spots. The winds of that strength are likely to cause travel disruption, trees down, power cuts and the risk of coastal flooding. Still quite warm with the wind coming from the south west sew across parts of eastern england, 25 degrees. Most of us in the high teens or late 20s. Through the evening and overnight, plenty of showers rattling through on that brisk wind. The wind will start to ease a little bit overnight, so not quite as windy as the afternoon so blustery. You will certainly notice that if you are camping tonight. Tomorrow, low pressure close to us but starting to drift off toward scandinavia. A few isobars on the map tomorrow so another windy day, but not quite as windy as it could beat today. Some ranger parts of Northern Ireland and Northern England which should ease into the afternoon. Some rain in parts of Northern Ireland and Northern England. Scattered showers in Northern England. Not as windy tomorrow but a blustery day. Temperatures down a notch, 15 22 but feeling a little cooler when you add to the strength of the wind. Into sunday, much cooler and fresh air moving in across scotland and Northern Ireland. Further scattered showers in the south east into the afternoon. It is turning a little bit cooler for afternoon. It is turning a little bit coolerfor all of us, particularly for scotland and Northern Ireland. So there is a really strong winds through today, and some heavy showers. Fresher and more unsettled into next week. Good morning. Our main story this morning as changes to the quarantine rules for people returning from portugal and croatia. The transport secretary, grant shapps, joins us now. Thank you forjoining us. The decision to give 48 is notice, we saw last week when the france quarantine was announced, we saw lots of people dashing home trying to beat that deadline. If you had the information, why give 48 hour is notice . Why not say from now, if you return from croatia or Trinidad And Tobago, you have to quarantine. One of the reasons why is it you do it very quickly and that is what happened when we did it with spain where we saw prevalence in spain accelerate very quickly and it has gone very high since then, we only gave four or five hours notice and there were people who were caught up in the quarantine. With a case of most countries since, we have tried to providejust a most countries since, we have tried to provide just a little most countries since, we have tried to providejust a little bit most countries since, we have tried to provide just a little bit of relief and they are, of opportunity as we see the numbers go up of them not shooting right the way up and coming home and it is a question of finding the balance and that is what we have done and all parts of the uk agreed to do the same thing because it seemed to be sensible and proportionate to do it in that way. Interestingly say all four parts of the kingdom agreed to do the same thing. Scotland has included switzerland in the restriction, but the uk government hasnt, why is that . Yes, i looked very carefully at switzerland. One of the key measures is how many cases per 100,000. The limit is 20 cases per 100,000. The limit is 20 cases per 100,000. We also look at a range of other measures that i took into account yesterday and that is what we do. In the case of switzerland, they are not quite at 20 cases and they are not quite at 20 cases and they werent accelerating particularly quickly so far as we thought it was right to put that on what. We are keeping a close eye and we will come back to it. But in scotland, they have decided to act a bit sooner, which we wont know until next week perhaps whether that was the right or wrong thing to do but it is an indication that rules can be different depending on a wave like that. It is an indication that you are working on different criteria. We are all using the joint bios Centre Security criteria. The key relief for us is that 20 cases per 100,000, measured over key relief for us is that 20 cases per100,000, measured overa seven day period and i think switzerland was at 18. 5, of the top of my head, so it didnt quite get to the 20. But broadly speaking, we are doing the same things. We have removed from the travel corridor so you have to quarantine, as you mentioned, from croatia and also Trinidad And Tobago and austria yesterday and all parts of the uk had ten that and we all brought portugal in, so you now know longer will need to quarantine if you coming back from portugal, but i must say regardless of where you are going and must say regardless of where you are going and i experienced this myself, everybody will be travelling with their eyes open this summer because this virus is incredibly unpredictable and even more so in countries where we dont have any control that the response is being handled. The people should always think about that, what would happen if the country then did require quarantine on the turn. Why cant we have testing at the airport . Betsy has e mailed a saying that her son went to iceland two weeks ago, had first met tess at the airport when he arrived, it was compulsory. Within a few hours, he got the result. He carried on with his holiday. He paid £50 for it. Why arent we doing it . If you are not showing any symptoms but happen to have coronavirus, which is the majority of the cases potentially, then that test would only find out ina very then that test would only find out in a very small minority of cases whether or not that person actually had coronavirus. In other words, the intimation period is such that a simple test on entering the country at the airport doesnt provide you with the answer, so you then have to actually test and in the meantime you have to quarantine. So it actually doesnt tell you what you think it does, that the person is necessarily negative is really negative. So we are working on these things, working very closely with the airports, but it is not quite as simple as suggested. So if you tested and you had to get the results seven days later, why dont you introduce the testing and not quarantine down to seven days and then you would help travel industry . The idea would be, just to put figures on this, a contest somebody on day one who comes to the country, and these figures may be debated and disputed by scientists and medical experts, but it may find only 7 of people are asymptomatic, so they dont know that they had it and if you have got it you should not be travelling anyway, of course, so it is not very hopeful on day two. You then need to test on day eight to get to very high percentage. You then need the result and by then you could be in a position where you have taken up quite a long time in quarantine. So it is not quite as simple as it is sometimes presented. However, it is something that we are very interested in and we are working on how that can be delivered reliably. There are other factors as well. How do you know that that test thatis well. How do you know that that test that is being said to somebodys has been taken by the person who has been taken by the person who has beenin been taken by the person who has been in quarantine rather than dipped ina been in quarantine rather than dipped in a cup of tea . Do you need to make them go to a test centre and dry there, perhaps . It is a bit more complex both scientific and in practical terms than is sometimes suggested, and we are working to how practical to introduce Something Like that and how much it would reduce the time because the other thing is it doesnt take away the need for quarantine. Indeed. But how quickly could you introduce it . You say you are working on it. How quickly could it happen . As you will recall, the actual rules behind the quarantine is revised every month so well can carry on doing that and reviewing this as part of that process but we will say when we have got a system that could actually work. But i dont want to do is raise false expectation that there is some kind of scientific approach that prevents all quarantine. The idea that you going to have to quarantine before you leave to travel somewhere and had tests, or youre going to have to travel and then quarantine afterwards. There isnt, as are sometimes presented, the option of a simple test on arrival and then you are free to go because for reasons explained it wont catch a sufficient number of people who actually have coronavirus at that moment but dont know themselves. Idea of all of this is themselves. Idea of all of this is the rule is that the government to make the measures that are in place are to keep us safe. Lots of people have been in touch this morning talking about whether or not they have been checked when they come back to the uk from holiday. Emma holidayed abroad, came to dover, through the port no check at all. Chris said it is the fifth time he was arriving into the uk, finally checked, people openly bragging about not filling in the farms. He says if youre going to have a policy that inflicts such harm and the travel industry, at least implement it correctly. James says he went to germany a couple of weeks ago. Upon return, he was asked to fill out the online information farm. He gave up after 20 minutes. Didnt matter a jot as there wasnt a soul at london heathrow arrivals checking anything. First of all, an awful lot of policing relies on people doing the thing which is required to do by law, and in the case of the passenger locator farm, which you must fill out regardless of whether you are travelling from a country which is in the travel corridor or not, so you have to fill it out regardless of anywhere you are travelling from at the moment, and it is a new things people are getting used to it and we are working very hard with the airlines and the airports and when you book your ticket in the first place with travel companies to ensure that people are reminded and we are making sure that that is happening. In the end, it is a criminal offence not to fill in the form and not to do the thing required. No one checking it is not the case. For a simple, actually, my wife returned from ourfamily simple, actually, my wife returned from our family hardy that i already came back from an she received a phone call randomly from border force, where they absolutely were checking. I know other people had the same calls. And bear in mind that not adhering can get you a criminal record. Has anyone been fined yet . Yes. How many . The border force will announce this in time. I dont have their data. Why dont you have the data . Youre the transport secretary. In this country, we allow the authorities to get on with their job and they release the information, not the ministers and thatis information, not the ministers and that is fine, but the important thing people need to realise is that you could end up with a criminal record by not doing the right thing here. I really cautioned people. As you rightly say, there are some people who dont realise how serious it is and might brag about breaking quarantine. Youre putting other people bosman lives at risk, possibly including your own friends and family. And also you could end up and family. And also you could end up with a criminal record. How long have quarantines up with a criminal record. How long have quara ntines been up with a criminal record. How long have quarantines been in place . Over quite a few weeks now. Are you curious about how many people are abiding by these rules . Of course, and border force will in time publish their information about how many people. We spoke to charlie cornish, who is the deputy of Manchester Airports group this morning and he was talking about regionalisation and he put forward point that the uk has a blanket ban when it comes to travel in spain, but germany has a regional ban so it doesnt include the canary islands, for example. He said 1 million of the passengers that go through Manchester Airport travel to the canaries. Obviously, if regionalised locked arms were put in place, so a more focused lockdown was in place, that would help the travel industry. Why are we not doing that yet . Yes, so the islands particularly the Spanish Islands, when spain went into lockdown, we saw in one of the Spanish Islands the numbers coming up Spanish Islands the numbers coming up and in the other the numbers coming down. The next week, it had reversed round. So we do need to be absolutely sure that you are capturing the virus as it actually is and sometimes it is not quite as straightforward as it sounds. However, i think that there is a case for regionalisation. There is a place for that. I figured case for regionalisation. There is a place for that. Ifigured it much harder to do within a country, some people say with france, for example, why dont you just do this and not the other. The answer is it is quite easy to paddle about the country and so we are not able to do it like that. Where there are islands, i think that is something which we will look at and we are looking at and of course then you get down to how good the detail level of information we have got on individual islands which might be pa rt individual islands which might be part of a country with a landmass somewhere else, so those are things that along with the review we were talking about before, how you can test potentially at airports, we are also looking at having to do, regionalisation effectively. The main thing is here we just need to mature we are keeping people safe in the United Kingdom we have got the level down to about 11 cases per 100,000 of population, and where we see elsewhere cases go above 20 cases per 100,000, that is where we are acting. And in england, in the uk, we have a huge amount of testing going on, 330,000 tests a day available at the office for National Statistics are doing these Massive Service which they are going to expand and it is giving is a really detailed view of where the disease is in the country. We dont have that ability in other countries to do that so when people say, why dont you just regionalise it . Well, we dont have that level of detail to be able to make sure people are protected when they return to the uk. Can i get your reaction, of course they want to have been looking after us when we have been ill, nurses, nhs workers, a survey today shows that almost half, about 42,000 who were surveyed, says that the way that nursing staff feel they have been treated during the pandemic has made them consider quitting. Nearly three quarters of them said improved pay would make them said improved pay would make them feel more valued. How do you react . I know you are the transport minister, but as a human being, having praised our nhs workers, how do you react when you hear that almost half of them are considering quitting. As you travel around and see all of the signs up, the thank you nhs, it has become a national symbol, thank you nhs up all over the place and it makes me pleased that nurses have had above inflation pay rises. This survey was done after the pay rise. The pay rises are decided by independent body to make the recommendations. That is not the point. It is about how they feel. Sure, but as to the point, not only has there been above inflation pay rises before, they havent reported yet on what the pay rise should be subsequent to the virus, but my wider point which you are countering on is how do i feel about it, well i feel that the doctors and nurses and the medical staff have done an unbelievable job nurses and the medical staff have done an unbelievablejob in nurses and the medical staff have done an unbelievable job in the most challenging circumstances that we have just gone through since the war, so of course they deserve enormous respect from others, but i cant change their pay but there is a process to do that and we have to wait to see what they say. Grant shapps, transport secretary, thank you for your time this morning. The time now is 7 46am. Now it is time for sport. We are looking at fans being allowed into the stadiums and watching the games that they love. I know, gasp, hodder occluded b . Could old firm fans be watching celtic against rangers live from inside parkheard . Well, its possible after Nicola Sturgeon announced that we could see small numbers of spectators inside stadia from the 14th of september. It means the old firm match on the 17th of october could be playing in front of some fans. Scottish rugby also wants the pro14 match between edinburgh and glasgow at murrayfield on the 28th of august will be used as a test event, with 700 fans. The first minister also brought forward the re opening of gyms, swimming pools and Indoor Sports courts. These facilities can reopen subject to guidance being in place from the 31st of august. For Indoor Sports courts which includes Dance Studios and gymnastics, it is worth stressing that for people aged 12 and over, the reopening on this date applies to noncontact activity only. Staying on the subject of watching sport, fan groups say they have real concerns over their ability to watch their teams in the premier league next season. Every game was broadcast as last season finished with no fans in stadiums. But that wont be the case next season, and therell be no free to air matches either. There are plans to allow limited numbers of fans into stadiums by the autumn in england, but fan groups say there needs to be provision for the thousands who wont get tickets. Englands last test match of the summer gets underway later this morning, and theyll be hoping its a lot drier than the last one. Rain and bad light in southampton ruined the second test, so england remain 1 0 up in the three match series. They havent won a series against pakistan in ten years. The england players, remember, have been in a bio secure bubble for the last two months, and captainjoe root says hes after one last push from his side. Its notjust the cricketers affected by the weather, after a very blustery opening day at the womens open, the golfers will be hoping for better conditions at royal troon. Englands georgia hall, who won it in 2018, finished her round 6 shots off the lead, despite this lovely putt from off the green on the 10th. Its solheim cup winning captain catriona matthew, whos leading the british charge after she finished her round on level par. The new fixtures will b released at 9am this morning. How does that affect you when youre organising your diary . Because we are not out dancing on tables now. Watch this space. Well, especially if you have your team in the championship are lower, youre looking to see what the opening fixtures are and then the run in as well towards the end of the season. Normally you want a bit of an easy run as well and then youre gearing up run as well and then youre gearing up to hopefully be able to watch some of the matches on, should i be saying this, legal streams on the internet. And also some of the clubs have got fine tv as well so you can sometimes watch a live stream and you have to pay a small fee for that, so that can happen if youre not able obviously to go to matches or if you cant watch it on the telly. Thanks so much. You speak to you later. The time now is 7 50am. The government has already made one u turn this week on exam results. Now its under increasing pressure to make another one, this time on whether landlords in england can evict tenants for not paying the rent. A temporary halt on eviction proceedings was brought in at the height of the pandemic but its due to end on sunday, as our home editor mark easton reports. As we emerge from lockdown, for tens of thousands of people in england, there is deep anxiety. Notjust of the virus but of losing their home. Covid cost david hisjob in high wycombe in buckinghamshire, and as the temporary ban on evictions comes to an end, he worries about his familys future. We had guaranteed income and now we dont. We do get some support from universal credit to help with things. But in all honesty, its not enough. Itjust doesnt help everything. Do you think youll be able to stay in your house . Its difficult times, there is a possibility that we could end up losing our home. Davids landlord has been understanding up to now but like thousands in high wycombe, the terror of losing your income and then your home looms large. Landlords too are worried that they may fall victim to the Financial Impact of the virus. Vikram advises many in high wycombe. Landlords will have very real problems because they themselves are running businesses, so theres a lot at stake for the landlords who could in turn as a consequence become homeless themselves. The ending of the furlough scheme in october is expected to expose the true scale of the economic damage, with many suddenly unable to afford their rent and a court system unable to cope with the consequences. Hundreds of eviction cases are already waiting to be heard here at high wycombe county court. Across england, the queue is thought to be around 40,000 cases long. But social distancing means the courts cannot operate at full capacity so it could take more than a yearjust to get through the backlog while more and more people join the wait for judgment. Landlords must send the court a reactivation notice to restart eviction proceedings, giving thejudge details of the impact of covid. The lawyers warn of impending chaos. Youre going to have, without a shadow of a doubt, people whose lives are ruined by this. Its just going to be months of uncertainty for everyone involved. Housing departments fear a huge increase in homelessness. Here in high wycombe, councillors are bracing themselves for tough times ahead. We will look to house people as locally as possible to where they currently live, where they have friends and relatives. If that cant be done for whatever reason, then we may have to look at alternative accommodation, potentially using hotels or whatever. The government is being urged to extend the evictions ban and provide more support for tenants whose finances have been laid low by coronavirus. Were very concerned that when the ban lifts next week, what were going to see is tens of thousands of people who are put at risk of losing their home and potentially becoming homeless as a result of that. The eviction ban has already been extended in scotland and Northern Ireland. Wales has agreed to a support package. Ministers in england are now under pressure to ensure tenants and landlords are protected from a virus that could take away the roof over peoples heads. Mark easton, bbc news, high wycombe. The time is 7. 53am. The pop star mika is putting on a concert to help people affected by the explosion in beirut two weeks ago. He was born in the city, to a lebanese mother. Before we speak to him, lets have a taste of some of the songs his fans will be hoping to hear. We can speak to mika now. Hes in rome. This is a story that unfolded in the images of devastation there and this is very close to you and your family. Tell us a little more. Like so many around the world, when i saw those images, my heart completely sang. Ithink those images, my heart completely sang. I think the reason is i was born in beirut. My mother was down in syria. But i think it brought back so many memories, so much civil war, so much political strife over so many years and seeing this kind of task to fee just unfolding in that video that circulate across social media really brought back so many traumatic memories for so many people across the world. Lebanon has been going through a very rough time lately, political strife, been going through a very rough time lately, politicalstrife, inflation, an economic crisis that was by out of control. This was the last thing that that country needed. Mika, the news agenda is such that sometimes those appalling pictures are fresh in their minds but we havent heard much since then, in a way, certainly in the uk. What do you know about how things are, as the days and weeks are passing, how the impact is . As always, with social media, at first the imagery was so strong and connected with so many people around the world but in the past few weeks it has been hard to ascertain exactly what the situation is apart from the fact that they have been going through such a hard time and so this really just going through such a hard time and so this reallyjust exacerbated so many of the existing problems from the crisis they are going through. Apart from covid 19, which is also a problem there more than ever now. I thinkjust a bit it in perspective, there are 200 people have died because of this, 6000 that were directly injured. There are 300,000 people with homes that are not fit to live in at this point. In the midst of a crisis where there are more than 560,000 lebanese children who are struggling to survive. But it all together and we realise. Also the Food Shortages are Something Else to take into consideration, the fa ct else to take into consideration, the fact that beirut hospitals are not accepting people in most of them and they are having to send them outside beirut. Help is definitely needed. And the Lebanese Community is a particular one. I was born in 83. We we re particular one. I was born in 83. We were evacuated and we ended up in paris and then i grew up in london. And i have to say that so many lebanese are spread across the entire world. We took with us a part of our culture. We took with us bits of our culture. We took with us bits of lebanon and we kept them. You walk into a lebanese house, even if someone is half english, and you know because you smell the food. So it has provoked a really strong emotional response, so people who are emotional response, so people who a re partly emotional response, so people who are partly lebanese, but it has been harder since his explosions for others to understand really what is going on over there. And, mika, you are using the platform you have to highlight what is happening and speak very eloquently about it here on this programme, but also with this performance that you are putting on yourself youre, you are producing the show, youre going to be broadcasting as well. Is it from your kitchen . No, its not from my kitchen. Although i could have. I wa nted kitchen. Although i could have. I wanted to do anything i could, even ina wanted to do anything i could, even in a small way. I think that the show is trying to do two things. It isa show is trying to do two things. It is a live stream show that will be on the 19th of september, with all of the restrictions from covid 19 in the end i decided to produce it myself with my friends and do it in myself with my friends and do it in my garden. I am currently in italy now because my tour got cancelled and my life has changed, like so many other people and i am going to do some television where i am now here. But the objective of the show isa pc here. But the objective of the show is a pc to raise money and we will be raising money for the red cross lebanon and also save the children lebanon. But also to tell stories. So it is notjust an intimate lifestrea m so it is notjust an intimate lifestream show. There will also be footage from lebanon. There will be people telling stories. There will be concerts from other artists. And it is just about provoking empathy as well to help people connect with the stories of people who have been affected by this disaster. I mean, theres a lot of people raising money, there is a lot of international aid, but it never hurts to provoke more empathy and to create more of an emotional connection with the disaster that is happening far away. Really good to talk to you. Good luck with the performance at the production of it all. Thank you so much for talking to us. It was lovely to see you. Mikas i love beirut benefit concert will be live streamed on 19th september. Tickets go on sale on monday. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning. Well, lots of weather. The main feature will be the strength of the wind. Unseasonably windy. We have dale that will cause some disruption and that is because there is a really deep of low pressure moving on from the west. Lots of showers rotating around that area of the pressure and with a combination of strong winds, large waves and spring tides at the moment we could see coastal flooding, particularly across parts of South West England and wales but also parts of Northern England and scotla nd also parts of Northern England and scotland there are flood warnings in force today. Sunshine and scattered heavy downpours around as well. Some of us will avoid the showers, particularly the south west of england and parts of northern scotla nd england and parts of northern scotland could see some sunshine, but gusts of 45 mph and even inland they could be more than 50 malls per hour. Around the coast, 60 70 mph gusts of wind, so it enough to bring down some trees, causing power cuts and travel disruption as well. Still quite warm. Up to 25 across parts of eastern england. Into this evening and tonight, we will still have those heavy showers rattling through on the breeze. Not quite as windy overnight compared to what it will be like through the afternoon. Temperatures still on the mild side so happening in the mid teens for most of us. Heading into the weekend and low pressure slowly starts to drift away to the north east, sold not quite as windy on the day on saturday and then another blustery day. They will be further showers around, particularly for Northern England and parts of north wales two. One or two showers elsewhere. Gusts of wind tomorrow, around about 2530 gusts of wind tomorrow, around about 25 30 malls per hour, enough for a little more disruption but not quite as blustery as today. 15 22 tomorrow and we will have the headlines coming up. Good morning and welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today. No more quarantine for people entering the uk from portugal, but those returning from croatia face two weeks isolation. The transport secretary defends the quarantine policy telling breakfast the government is looking at improving testing at the border but that there are no simple solutions. Joe biden promises to lead america out of what he called its season of darkness as he formally accepts the Democratic Party president ial nomination. This is our moment, this is our mission. May history be able to say that the end of this chapter of american darkness began here, tonight. A rallying cry from the england cricket captain. Joe root says he wants one big push from his side as they aim for a series win over pakistan for the first time in a decade. Its friday the 21st of august. Our top story. The portuguese Prime Minister, antonio costa, has offered a warm welcome to british visitors after his country was added to uks list of travel corridors meaning there is no need to quarantine after returning home. But the travel industry says the relaxation comes too late to save its summer. The new rules effective from 4am tomorrow also impose quarantine orders on anyone returning from croatia, austria or Trinidad And Tobago. Our Political Correspondent helen catt is in westminster. Helen, the transport minister grant shapps has warned us to be ready for further sudden changes to the quarantine rules, hasnt he . Every time these make these decisions it will affect a lot of people. We have seen it several times over recent weeks where more and more countries have been taken off the list of exemptions, belgium, france, the netherlands and spain to namea france, the netherlands and spain to name a few. I think portugal is the most significant country to go the other way and have quarantine restrictions lifted. Its worth thinking about what the point of the two policies was. Quarantine was introduced to try to make sure we dont reimport infections from abroad now our infection rate is lower but there was a recognition that would be very bad for the travel industry, so that is where the list of exempt countries came in. But because we have seen that move and be so volatile in recent weeks with things changing so fast, there is growing pressure on the government to come up with other solutions. For example, one idea that has been suggested what is testing people at airports. The transport secretary grant shapps said they are looking at that but its not as simple as might think. The ideal would be, just to put figures on this, if you test someone on day one when they come into the country, and these figures are debated and disputed by scientists and experts, but it may only find 7 of people who are asymptomatic, in other words, people who dont know they have coronavirus and if you haveit they have coronavirus and if you have it you shouldnt be travelling a nyway of have it you shouldnt be travelling anyway of course. So its not helpful on day one. You then need to potentially test on day eight to get a higher percentage. You then need the results and by then you could be ina the results and by then you could be in a position where you have taken up in a position where you have taken up quite a lot of time in quarantine. Its not quite as simple as it is some times presented. However, its something we are very interested in and we are working on. He also confirmed the government is looking at another idea that has been put forward, which is of having regional corridors, and this came up for example when spain was put into quarantine. The idea that the Balearic Islands, which had a much lower rate of infection, so you could maybe not have the quarantine if you came from there and it only applied to mainland spain, but he again said it came with difficulties. I think the pressure will grow in the government to find other ways around this even though we are now coming to the end of that Summer Season. Helen catt, thank you. Earlier our europe correspondent gavin lee told us about the disruption yesterdays announcement has caused in croatia. Bear this in bearthis in mind, bear this in mind, more than any other country in europe, croatia relies on tourism, 18 of its gdp, 1 euro in every six that comes into the country is from the industry, so that means actually when you think about it, not just that means actually when you think about it, notjust the uk, but germany, austria, italy and slovenia as well, all in the last few days putting quarantine rules in place, its hitting the industry hard. So you have on the one hand, the fact is that notjust the uk but germany and france are quoting the fact that tourists returning from the dalmatian coast, split and dubrovnik, the tourists there are starting to be the cluster of cases returning to other countries. Going back to the start of the pandemic, people were talking about those who went on holiday to the north of italy or austria skiing and then came back to their respective countries, they were blamed and in a similar sense people in split and dubrovnik are being blamed for coming back and spreading the virus so thats the issue here. Looking at how the effects of being felt in croatia after yesterday. Nurses are feeling over stretched and under valued with nearly half saying they have considered quitting the profession since the pandemic began. Thats according to a large survey by the Royal College of nursing. Nearly 42,000 nurses responded to the survey. Three quarters of them reported experiencing more stress and a third said theyd been given extra responsibility but mostly without higher pay. G raf graf they were on the front line putting their own lives at risks. Graf they were on the front line putting their own lives at risksm was exposed to all, the actual intense and hard work that nurses do. So i think, yes, its been fantastic. But we cantjust rely on clapping, you know . The public has shown its appreciation but the government needs now to step up and show its appreciation. The us president ial candidate joe biden has promised to lead his country out of what he calls the darkness of its years under donald trump. In a speech to the democratic Partys National convention, mr biden said he would restore American Values like decency, science and democracy. As many have said, america is at an inflection point, a time of real peril, but also of extraordinary possibilities. We can choose a path of becoming angrier, less hopeful, more divided. A path of shadow and suspicion, or we can choose a different path, and together take this chance to heal, to reform, to unite. Officials in birmingham are concerned that the city could face tougher restrictions or a local lockdown. Its after a steep rise in Coronavirus Infections, which have doubled since the start of the month. The leader of Birmingham City council described the increase as extremely concerning and urged residents to pull together. An air ambulance is on its way from germany to russia to help one of president putins fiercest critics after he suffered suspected poisoning. Alexei navalny fell ill while he was on a flight from siberia to moscow yesterday his team believe a substance was put into his drink and say it is dangerous for him to remain in hospital in russia.

Doctors are calling for tighter rules on coronavirus Antibody Tests which are sold directly to consumers saying theyre putting Public Health at risk. The Royal College of pathologists has written to the Health Secretary warning that tests used without professional back up increase the risk of false results. No home Antibody Test has been officially approved for private sale in the uk. The pop star taylor swift has donated £23,000 to a student so that she can take up a maths course at warwick university.

For the last three years, the families of the 22 people murdered in the Manchester Arena bombing have endured unimaginable grief. Yesterday, at the old bailey, one of the two brothers who plotted the attack was sentenced to serve at least 55 years in prison thats the longest sentence ever handed down in a british court. We can speak now to figen murray, whose son martyn hett was one of those who was killed on that night in may 2017. Very good morning to you and i am so pleased you have felt ok to talk to us this morning. Many people will com pletely us this morning. Many people will completely understand that this is a very difficult time for you, but i know also that you feel you do want to talk about many things. The first thing i would like to ask, and we are asking a lot of people this for all sorts of reasons at the moment, how are you . Yeah, how am i . Its all a bit surreal, obviously. It has been a long stint, the court case, interrupted obviously by covid 19. But we got there in the end and thats the main thing. After travelling back from london, woke up this morning thinking, yeah, actually the british Justice System did really good. 55 years is an awful long time. I will probably be dead or a mega old lady by the time he comes out. It will do more for my kids and grandkids. Sometimes people in my role and observers of what happened say rather glib things at times like this and they say things like, may be the families can get some comfort from a verdict, may the families can take a breath and move on. Im trying to work out what the correct phrase is. Do you have a feeling of any of those sentiments, you and your family now . Not at all, actually. Because ourjourney is endless, and its a bit like a new book written completely. The old book written completely. The old book that we lived was suddenly chucked away at the times of the deaths of our loved ones. Now its a whole new book and its just one big chapter that is now closed. And we have a two or three week break and then the enquiry starts and that will be an awfully long time as well. Our journey really will be an awfully long time as well. Ourjourney really never ends. Some people say, hopefully this will have given new closure, or some people say, can you draw a line under its now the court case is finished. First of all, there is no line, because its a bottomless kind of journey of grief. Line, because its a bottomless kind ofjourney of grief. Secondly, no, there is no closure and never will be for us. Tell us about martyn. I a lwa ys be for us. Tell us about martyn. I always think when we speak to you we should remember martyn. And you better than anyone can tell us what he was like. A laugh a minute. He was a joy to be around. You had to watch what you were doing because he a lwa ys watch what you were doing because he always had a camera pointing at you, filming you even when you didnt notice. He was just absolutely full of the joy of life and lived his life in the fast lane. Hardly any of us could keep up with him, family or friends. He wasjust us could keep up with him, family or friends. He was just living us could keep up with him, family or friends. He wasjust living life 100 miles an hour. Squeezing every ounce of it out. One of the things i think has touched so many people is listening to the impact statements, the statements given by families about what this horrific act has done to them, how they are living with this. I wonder if you can give us an idea, you say its a bottomless fact us an idea, you say its a bottomless fa ct of us an idea, you say its a bottomless fact of grief that will never end, and thats understandable, but how it affects you in your everyday life. Me personally, martyn is the first thing on my mind when i wake up and he is the last thing on my mind when igoto he is the last thing on my mind when i go to bed. Its hard not to as a mother. How can i say . Itsjust impacted, literally, thats why they call it the witness impact statement, i guess, they want to know the impact on our lives and the impact ofa know the impact on our lives and the impact of a death, like the ones at the arena, isjust impact of a death, like the ones at the arena, is just enormous, incredibly painful and as i said, everlasting. It impacts every aspect of our lives, really. I know one point you made was, there is a certain point in the evening that you cant go to bed before. Yes, there was a long, long time when i couldnt even turn my calendar to number 22. It would jump to 23 from 21. I left a day out completely. I have managed to get over that now, but going to bed before 10. 55 was impossible for me. I cant shake the image of my child dead on a cold, stone floor while i was fast asleep. I know its totally irrational to have that guilt, because he was a grown up, he didnt even live with us, ididnt grown up, he didnt even live with us, i didnt even know he was at the concert, but be it as irrational as it is as a mother, but the shame and guilt will probably stay with me i would guess the rest of my life. Who knows . I know that in amongst what you are talking about there, you do a lot of work now with young people, you go and talk to people about what you go and talk to people about what you and your family have gone through, and the message you have, can you tell me, im sure its one of peace and hope and all the things that maybe you have learned more about through the devastating thing that has happened to your family. Does that help in anyway, talking to and watching people maybe listen and learn from your own experience . Yeah, i cant bring martyn back but ican do yeah, i cant bring martyn back but i can do this work in his spirit, with him sat on my shoulder. What i recognised very early on, both brothers were so young and had this really big compelling urge to speak to young people. At the end of the day, young people are the future decision makers, politicians, educators, but most importantly, they are going to be the future pa rents. They are going to be the future parents. And to me, values such as love, kindness, tolerance, one humankind, and if you turn the word humankind, and if you turn the word humankind over it actually makes kind human. Ithink humankind over it actually makes kind human. I think the world is in desperate need of love and kindness to one another. I want future generations tojust be to one another. I want future generations to just be kinder and more tolerant people and i want them to embrace difference as an enrichment to their lives rather than something they fear. I think thats really important. And i hope and ask young people to be kinda. Something tells me that when you bring those messages to a classroom or group bring those messages to a classroom orgroup of bring those messages to a classroom or group of young people, something tells me that they will listen. Thats something you will have experienced first hand. Thats something you will have experienced firsthand. The feedback from some of the children is really quite good. Sometimes i get messages two or three days later from people saying, yeah, actually they have decided to make this sound that is different in the future. So i have had feedback from young people but also from teaching staff. Might make this and that. One school in particular, they said the day i went they had had trouble with some schoolchildren in one particular year. The teacher said there was no argument that day for the rest of the day and there was a really eerie sense of peace at school. I enjoyed reading that, that was really good. I cant think of a better note on which to finish with you. On that positive thought in what is of course a very positive thought in what is of course a very difficult time for you. We really appreciate you talking to us this morning and being so honest about how things are for you and your family. Take care so honest about how things are for you and yourfamily. Take care and thank you. Looking after your Mental Health is very important in these times, and the importance of sport and exercise cant be understated. Some new Research Shows that surfing can be hugely beneficial to our wellbeing. Breakfasts john maguire has been finding out more. Believe it or not, ten years ago, charlotte ba nfield had a phobia of water. I used to be really scared to go to the beach, go near the shower, go in the rain. It was more of a sensory thing, the feel of water used to scare me. Charlotte has cerebral palsy, autism and anxiety. When her mum signed her up for a surface therapy session, for a surf therapy session, part of the wave project, it changed her life. I still have bad days, i get really anxious and feel i cant leave the house. When im having those days, i literally get my surfboard, wetsuit, get in the car and go to the sea because i know that as soon as i get in the ocean i will feel better again. Its like the ocean has magic Healing Properties that just work instantly. Her recovery is such that last year she won the english adaptive surfing contest, and she has a masters degree in marine biology. Today, she is at the wave, the artificial surf lake near bristol with its founder. He has long been an advocate with what is known as blue health, the healing powers of water and the sea and, for this man, his belief became a reality six months ago. I suffered a massive stroke and became part of my rehabilitation, being here and being in water, swimming alone, and starting to realise that the connectivity with my brain and my health was a big part of rehabilitation and i really believe that is a massive part of how i have managed to recover my speech coming back, so quickly. Charlotte and nick are prime examples of the benefits of surfing. Highlighted in a report published today by the wave, it looks at how the sport can help physical and mental well being, especially considering the impact of covid 19. This doctor from the National University of ireland, galway, is a surfer and studies what happens to the brain and body when in the water. Being in or on or near water, and certainly being actively engaged in it, helps to both stimulate and soothe the nervous system, hormonal system, respiratory system and even our heart rate, it slows in response to these environments. Sport therapy has a well established track record. Jacob kelly runs recovery through sport, an nhs scheme that helps people with Mental Health schemes through football and now a Pilot Project hopes to repeat that success through surfing. We see people recovering after doing the sports sessions and we think we will get it here, seen drastic changes in their mental and physical health, and also many were in contact with families and have said since coming to the sessions it has made a huge difference in their relationship with their families. This is amazing and great to hear. From the blues to blue health, the power of waves are helping people to ride out the storm. John maguire, bbc news. Fans of the royal drama the crown have been given a tantalising glimpse of the new series. The streaming Service Netflix has released a short trailerfor season 4, which will introduce Princess Diana to the saga. Have a look. Something as important as the monarchy. Simply cannot be allowed to fail. Reporters diana Dickie Arbiter was a press secretary to the queen and media manager to Prince Charles and diana, princess of wales, during the 19805 and 1990s. Hejoins us now from greece. Good morning to you and thank you for being with us. Are you a fan of the crown . I like it is entertainment. There is a lot wrong about it but its based on the events of the day but the script is fictitious and there is a lot of dramatic licence but you have to look at it for what it is and it is entertainment. When the new series comes out i assume you will cast your eye over it, and having such a close relationship with Prince Charles and the princess of wales, diana, what do you think would be the obvious bits to put in other than the big wedding and the break up . Than the big wedding and the breakup . Its interesting to ask that. I wouldnt call it a trailer, i would call it more of a teaser, but we see Olivia Colman as the queen riding out to trooping the colour, but the last season was flagging a bit at the end, so they are kick starting the next series with diana, and a lot about diana and we see in this clip diana being harassed by the media, diane the lonely girl standing silhouetted against the big window, and the back of diana the bride walking into a black void so i think they have a lot of need to grab hold of in the next series. Diana the mother, the worker, and for want of a better word to the clotheshorse, because she was a big follower of fashion and promoter of british fashion. Diana that she did bride. And the manipulator when it came to the media, helping with the Andrew Morton book and with panorama, so there is a lot they can do with diana and itll grab peoples interests for the next series. |j suppose what is slightly different this time is that as the series, the crown gets more contemporary, so there are more of us, not like you who saw it from the inside, but we have our own interpretations and we witnessed some of these events ourselves. And increasingly more and more people feel they have a link to it when some of the previous series felt much more like history. |j it when some of the previous series felt much more like history. I think people will have more of a link because diana died tragically only 23 years ago, she is still very fresh in peoples mines. They will feel they own a part of her and will have grown up in this particular period that the crown is focusing on, presumably from 1981 through to the present day. It is a long period and like you say it is contemporary and like you say it is contemporary and people will associate with that. Its interesting as well, when you we re its interesting as well, when you were describing the roles and the way diana was portrayed, there is still a very big place for her in many peoples hearts when it comes to the affection they have for her. And portraying her, you used the word manipulator because she was the source of Andrew Mortons book, but its a fine line to tread when you are portraying someone like her. Its very very difficult thing to betray someone like that. We saw naomi watts in 2013 in the diana movie which somewhat bombed. There was a musical in the states that will appear on netflix next year, diana the musical, difficult to betray someone still very fresh in our minds. Everyone who turned out on that week of her death, the day of herfuneral, on that week of her death, the day of her funeral, feel they have a part, and they own a part of diana, they remember her, so they will probably compare the actress who plays diana in netflix, some will say, she was never like that, and others might say its a pretty good interpretation. We all have our own impression of diana and it will be difficult to satisfy everybody. Someone will correct me on this, but netflix have already said how contemporary they will go . The writers have said they will keep a 20 year distance. So there is a gap created and they will not bring it right up to date. Is that the right approach . I think it probably is the right approach. Its a very difficult decision that peter morgan and his team will have made. But to bring it right up to date, the harry and meghan story are still moving, ongoing and by the time you have written something the scenario will have changed. The Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein scenario is changing by the week, so its difficult to bring it right up to date and i think they will draw the line as to where they are going to stop and its probably the right decision. Where they are going to stop and its probably the right decisionm a lwa ys its probably the right decisionm always good to talk to you, thanks for taking the time this morning. Take care. You are watching bbc breakfast, still to come. Its 50 years since whispering bob harris made his bbc radio debut. A number of buttons undone on that shirt well be speaking to bob in around 20 minutes as he looks back on five decades of broadcasting. We ll also bring you the latest news. Now lets get the weather with sarah. A different picture, it was quite windy yesterday. I was playing some golf near the coast and it was really blustery, but still warm. Warm and blustery, thats right, and if you thought it was windy yesterday, it will turn much more windy across the british isles, strong wind around and there could be coastal flooding because a strong wind combined with high tide could have an effect around the coast. Big waves and strong wind could cause disruption through today. A mix of sunshine and showers and we still have quite warm air with us but the wind is the main feature of the weather over the next couple of days. We have an unseasonably deep area of low pressure moving its way in from the west causing that, and lots of showers will rotate around that area of low pressure with a strong wind driving in large waves and the risk of flooding, particularly for parts of South West England and wales, but we also have flood warnings for parts of Northern England and scotland. Scattered showers for many, fewer to the south of england, and also in the north of scotland, there should be sunshine late this afternoon. But looking at the gusts of wind, likely 30 40 widely across parts of scotland. Even in land in northern invent up to 50 mph. Around the coasts for wales and southern in the end, could be 60 or even touching 70 mph. Temperatures up to 25 in the warmest spots with that south westerly breeze but for most of us, 18 22 and feeling cooler when you add on the strength of the wind. Still windy as we head through this evening but the wind will gradually start to ease overnight. More showers rattling through on the breeze and you could hear the odd rumble of thunder particularly in the north and west overnight. Still mild with temperatures sitting in the mid teens. Heading to the weekend, low pressure will start to drift away gradually towards scandinavia but we still have quite a lot of isobars on the mat heading into saturday. Another blustery day through saturday but not quite as windy as we will see today with some persistent rain initially through Northern Ireland, Northern England and north wales, becoming more showery in the afternoon so sunny spells around and wind typically 2535 spells around and wind typically 25 35 mph gusting tomorrow afternoon. Still blustery but not as disruptive at the wind today. Temperatures cooler, 15 22, still mild through the day on saturday but it will turn fresher into the second half of the weekend. Into sunday, that cooler and fresher air moving in from the north west, still scattered showers that will head south so they could be heavy in east anglia and the south east later in the afternoon but turning cooler. Still u nsettled the afternoon but turning cooler. Still unsettled into next week but watch out for those very strong winds through the course of today. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Lets return to our top story now and the changes to the quarantine rules for people returning to the uk from countries including portugal and croatia. Weve heard the transport secretary grant shapps defend the policy this morning but theres still lots of criticism from both holiday makers and businesses. Bens looking into this one today. Whenever we have an announcement about countries in and out of quarantine, it has a cage impacted by the travel industry here but also the countries affected. It is easy to forget that any little change in the rules means fame orfortune to forget that any little change in the rules means fame or fortune for some businesses and perhaps disaster and ruinfor some businesses and perhaps disaster and ruin for others because they are still dependent on many kisses on the tourist trade in some countries that it could determine their future. In many cases. People returning from portugal will not have to quarantine but croatia has been added to the list. For people there, and we have seen as that previous examples, there is a mad dash to get back before the rules come into play orface dash to get back before the rules come into play or face the dash to get back before the rules come into play orface the prospect of spending two weeks at home, and those quarantine rules are pretty restrictive. You can only leave the house for a very specific set of reasons. We heard from jonathan who is on holiday in croatia and he was due to come back on saturday but he has been looking to find an earlier flight. Has been looking to find an earlier flight. Our flight was saturday afternoon and we have to be backed by 40 on saturday which is pretty much impossible. My wife is a teacher and she has an elderly father to look after. We were supposed to be in france this week so we cancelled france on the basis of self isolation so we are tremendously disappointed. So little notice. Not enough time. The price of flights has rocketed. It is the idea of notice that is proving to be so difficult for many. Foreigners as holiday makers knowing what to do, whether we might have to come back more quickly as difficult but spare a thought for the business is trying to cater to our holiday needs. Hotels, bars, restaurants. There is some good news in portugal, particularly the algarve, such a popular destination for british tourists, who have their stroke play. Earlier i spoke to one bar owner who told me it had come as a bit of a surprise but it is welcome nonetheless. We were kind of getting used to the fight not be welcoming our british tourists this year so it isa our british tourists this year so it is a wonderful surprise. Levels here have been very low. It has been under control and we are desperate to have her english tourists back but we also hope they will behave, ifi but we also hope they will behave, if i may say. We spoke to the transport secretary earlier and he said the government was working on improving testing at airports. That will be welcome news for the industry, wont it, ben . The industry are telling us they wa nt the industry are telling us they want clarity. They say they can cope people and change but the uncertainty is proving difficult so can airlines and hotels lay on holidays the country knowing customers might have to cancel at the last minute or come back early . Two proposals, one of which is testing at the airport because that could help narrow the quarantine period if you get a test and it comes back more quickly proving you are negative. They have also been talking about more regionalised air corridors so rather than blanket bans on whole country what they said they would like is more specific local advice so perhaps you can travel from the Balearic Islands but not from the mainland for example. I was speaking to the chief executive of Manchester Airport who told me that testing is really important and that testing is really important and that can help sell some of the issues but also the idea of local air corridors. The uk has to find a better way of notifying customers, airlines and airports about potential quarantine issues but more importantly we have to find a different regime to allow people to fly to countries. It is issues such as testing, saw in germany they have as testing, saw in germany they have a test on arrival or potentially a test 48 hours before you leave your destination which takes away the need for quarantine, subject to outcome. In the uk we are not there yet. Not there yet. Those are the words from the chief executive of Manchester Airports group. The rules are Manchester Airports group. The rules a re pretty Manchester Airports group. The rules are pretty clear in so much we know what happens where but the uncertainty is putting so damaging for the industry. They have been lobbying for extra help and clarity on what might happen next but we know this is a fast changing situation. The government says it is taking these decisions to protect the governments help but there are thousands of people employed in the travel and Tourism Industry here and abroad and really important to get a bit of clarity and svr to salvage what is left of the really lucrative Summer Travel season. Thank you for taking us through all of that. Definitely a day we have been talking about transport really thoroughly. We can move down to one side and replace him with jane. Cricketers might think the summer has not been kind to them. It seems like the England Cricket Team have been chasing the rain rather than the sun. Whenever they have not been in southampton or manchester it has been sunny there. The england cricket captain joe root is determined to make sure the test match summer doesnt end as a damp squib. They play pakistan in the third test in southampton later this morning. Remember the second test ended in a draw because of persistent rain and bad light. England remain 1 0 up in the three match series, and they havent won a series against pakistan in ten years. Root says hes after one last push from his side. A big boost for sport in scotland fans could be watching live matches from as early as next month. First minister Nicola Sturgeon says that small numbers of spectators will be allowed inside stadia from 14th september. It means the old firm match on 17th october could be played in front of some fans at parkhead. Now, for decades, team gb has had incredibly successful rowing teams, with medallists like sir steve redgrave, sir Matthew Pinsent and james cracknell. One name you might not be so familiar with isjurgen grobler and he is the man behind the medals. The 72 year old has coached gb to 22 olympic golds, he was due to retire after tokyo 2020, but the delay to the games means hes made his announcment now. In a moment well hearfrom him talking to Matthew Pinsent but first lets have a look at some of the hightlights from his career. Great britain are the olympic champions, and that has a fantastic ring about it. Well done. It was great britains race. The announcement of your retirement, is this a happy or sad day . Ok, it is this a happy or sad day . Ok, it is more or less, yeah, different feeling, i would say. As a job undone because of the delay of the olympics. That is something of course where i feel still responsible for the athletes, so it is 50 years and 50 years front line coaching, always in the driving seat. It is different but of course wendy will come and it was always clear after the olympics tokyo i would finish so it is not totally coming out of the blue. What would be your highlight . You do not have to see steve and me but you could my to see steve and me but you could my personal achievement, winning four olympic gold medals, that is something outstanding, not just four olympic gold medals, that is something outstanding, notjust for you, but for every coach in our sport. Where you can win eight gold medals and one olympics. That is something very special. As always your medals are so important to you as our medals to other athletes, even one gold medal is important to them, so it is always difficult for me, but no question, and everybody will accept that, 2000 was a very, very special moment. Your third. Tim and james winning their first one and james winning their first one and steve their first one. It was just enormous. In another universe we would be coming back from tokyo in the last two weeks. Was that dating your diary and it has been ha rd to dating your diary and it has been hard to shift that . When did you know for sure you were going to stop . They stain everything would fit so well, i was so sure we can win the 2020 mens eight again. To do it again was always my inside drive. And it would be on my birthday. Everything was planned. Before the end ofjuly, after we finished on the 15th with the team, things have been going through my head. What an incredible career he has had. Team gb are going to nesn hugely in the run up to the games in tokyo. We can see what is coming up. Look at this image. Jane is there and you have a lot of friends and the reason you are in the park is because we are talking about dog walking. There isa are talking about dog walking. There is a notion in germany that it should be law how long people should walk their dogs. There is legislation that has been drawn up. Murphy, behave yourself to say that if you have a dog you have to buy law give that dog a workplace today, minimum for an hour. Glover, behave yourself this beautiful specimen is my lay. Next to is telling. She was going crazy. Here is breeze who caused an International Incident over her bowel area. This is teddy ball earlier. Good morning. Obviously you need to know all of these names. We need to know all of these names. We need to know all of these names. We need to fill introductions. We are talking about whether or not it should be a criminal offence not to ta ke should be a criminal offence not to take dogs out for walks. Coco come on honey come on, honey behold the pure unadulterated joy of walkies. The point is this. Dogs love walkies, even dogs with tiny little legs. She willjust go for miles and miles and shes loved lockdown because shes had so many walks. Shesjust, like, loving it. Honey might look cute, but. Dont be deceived, very vicious. Do you think if she didnt go for walks, she would be more aggressive . Definitely. 11096. In germany, they think walks are so important for dogs they want to enshrine them in law. Youve heard of the reservoir dogs. Well, these are a gang who hang out and go for walks, long, behaviour improving walks, with sarah, a professional walker. Youre a great believer in walkies tackling dog depression. We are. Have you seen examples of this . Erm, yes. We had a chap who phoned us up to say that he had a full time job and he came home and there was a little bit of wall of his kitchen missing and then as the day has went on, in the end the whole of the doorframe had been eaten away. Oh, my goodness a bid forfreedom. A bid for freedom, boredom, something to do, and just being left for a long time and now he comes out on the walkies with us. In germany, if legislation is voted through, dogs like nelly could be legally entitled to two walks a day for at least an hour a day. Her humans approve. Yeah, thats good. Id agree with that. Yeah, they need that much exercise and its good for us as well, isnt it . She has been a very good girl. You guys are here because you can afford to have a dog walking service. How often do you do it . We do it every day of the week when we are at work. If this became the law and you were someone who couldnt afford to do a dog walking service, do you think thats fair . If youre working all day and you cant afford a dog walking service, then really you probably shouldnt have a dog. While many might welcome the ethics of the situation, is it really practical . Let me introduce bertie and his human, matt. Do you see consequences of dogs that havent got out enough . We do. We see an awful lot of overweight dogs with diabetes, heart disease, joint problems. As a vet, then, is that a policy you would like to see replicated in the uk . Honestly, my opinion is no. I think a blanket policy like that is an issue for different breeds of dog, so the likes of your french bulldogs are going to struggle for longer walks, and similarly there is going to be some dogs that are going to need to go out for an awful lot longer. Not all dogs are equal, just like their humans. And when dogs outnumber Police Officers 80 to one here, its hard to see how a policy like this could ever be imported and enforced. Murphy is there is a policy you would like to see replicated for the uk . Yes helen. Mali, for Goodness Sake helen, you are a professional dog walker. You like the idea. Sake helen, you are a professional dog walker. You like the ideam principle, if it is the right type of dogs. These are two and three. They are working dogs. Two hours a day plus is fine. But i will blocks of other dogs that do not require that. And with various conditions as well, young puppies as well. M that. And with various conditions as well, young puppies as well. It is not right for all dogs. Fiona, another professional dog walker. You we re another professional dog walker. You were telling me it is notjust about working, it is about stimulation. Murphy you are going to get your cameraman dad sacked. Murphy you are going to get your cameraman dad sackedlj murphy you are going to get your cameraman dad sacked. I look out for dogsin cameraman dad sacked. I look out for dogs in the garden because of the hdr andi dogs in the garden because of the hdr and i play bold with them. Stimulation is what they need. And they are perfectly happy . Yes. Have another or taking them for works as well. It depends on the breed. Have you come across dogs that you know they have behaviour issues . I am not looking at you, murphy and you think you need a good walk. Absolutely. I have a dog who is like that who jumps out of the car really quickly. Once he has had his work he is brilliant. It is so important. Would you like to see there is another country . I do not know whether it will be a thing we would be able to do but it would definitely be good for my business what does everybody think . What do you reckon . We havejust cajoled what does everybody think . What do you reckon . We have just cajoled you to coming on television. They havent got the time to take them out and the dogs deserve to go and you feel much better when you are out with them anyway. We have planed the nations dogs for one thing. People seeing their dog is watching going crazy. Like us try our little experiment and see how the nations dogs respond. Rockies come on let them off the lead. Look at them go. You are very well behaved. Go and have a play with your friends. Go for it. Organised chaos dont you wish you were a dog . That just looks like wish you were a dog . Thatjust looks like bliss. This little brown one, just full ofjoy. So excited about being alive. I dont think that one is allowed off the leash because it is still busy. Cast your mind back, if you can, to august 1970. Ted heath had just become Prime Minister, a pint of beer cost about 20 pence, and a young presenter made his debut appearance on the bbc, hosting a new show called sounds of the seventies, on radio one. His name was bob harris and he went on to do rather well. Whispering bob is now celebrating 50 years in broadcasting, on both radio and tv. Well speak to him in a moment but first lets see him in action. I would like to say a word of thanks to all of you who voted as once again the number one Television Programme in this years melody maker paul. Heavy. The man possessed. That is neat law. Didnt anyone ever tell him that is a terrible name . We are here after 30 yea rs terrible name . We are here after 30 years away. Bbc radio 2 on thursday. It is the music of bob harris country. One of the people we will see on the programme, jackson browne, Joni Mitchell and many more to come. That was no one is more important than the earthworm. How true that is. And bobjoins us now. One of the opening shots in that film we just chilled was he wearing a shirt which i think had four buttons undone. While there are regulations . Did you have a controller seeing that is too much . I was talking to steve right the other day and he said why didnt you smarten up . You probably cannot see this but we are looking at the picture and he has three buttons undone. Yeah, it was funny, because there was a huge amount of freedom in those days. Particularly in the studio. We didnt have health and safety or a ny studio. We didnt have health and safety or any of those kind of issues in the mid 19 70s so i suppose you could get away with a little more then than now. Does it feel like 50 years of broadcasting for you . Not really. Itjust feels like an amazing moment where i can have the opportunity to just look back for a moment over those 50 yea rs back for a moment over those 50 years and i still feel in my head i am 24 so in some respects it doesnt even feel as if time has moved on very much but obviously things have changed enormously in the world, in broadcasting, at the bbc, in music. It isa broadcasting, at the bbc, in music. It is a very different world 50 yea rs it is a very different world 50 years on. I imagine 50 years ago you would have known technology would advance and you would have lots of different Career Opportunities once you got your feet on the door. How has it been broadcasting for you during this pandemic . So many people broadcasting from different places, from home, nor guests in the studio. Something no one could have foreseen. I am broadcasting from exactly where you see me now, that is where i am doing my radio to shaws, the country sure i pre recorded on a tuesday evening when it is nice and quiet. I sent the music through to my producer who knits the length and the music together. I have been sort of isolating here through most of the first time and what i miss more than anything, to be honest, is the studio here as you see it we do sessions here. The studio sits under the apple tree at the bottom of my garden and we have an open door policy here for grass musicians who come in and play live. It is literally a studio area, session area, then the other end of the studio, so we are used to having lots of young people around, and i love that, the energy they bring in, and they have not been able to get it out on the road, so the studio has been quiet and ifind it out on the road, so the studio has been quiet and i find that really unusual and different. All of this has struck me to such an extent that looking forward i am trying to put together a wonderful recording to benefit the grassroots musicians who have had it so tough over the last few months in covid. We have an all star cast recording my favourite ever song. It is stand by me and we have a go find page and we are hoping to put the single out at the end of october and hoping it will raise lots of money for the musicians to help them through this difficult time. It is such a good idea. Very quickly, the cd collection in the background, is it alphabetical or genre . Alphabetically. My respect for you has gone through the roof. Lots of people loving your broadcasting. Really nice to chat to you. And bbc radio 1s greg james will interview whispering bob his 50 years in broadcasting. The programme called bob and greg airs on radio 2 on saturday at 9pm. The pop star taylor swift has donated £23000 to a student so that she can take up a maths course at warwick university. Vitoria mario, who is portuguese but lives in london, set up an Online Fundraising page because she isnt eligible for any maintenance loans or grants. We can speak to her now.

You had this fundraising page and you are raising money to pay figure studies and then right click . |j you are raising money to pay figure studies and then right click . I was asking for support, whatever people could do, and out of the blue my friend messaged me seeing taylor swift donated but i didnt think it was the full amount. Then when she screenshot the page and send it to mel screenshot the page and send it to me i was like, wow, i have to sign in to check, and the money was there. You had not gone directly to taylor swift to ask her. No. Are you afan . Taylor swift to ask her. No. Are you a fan . Yes, and i think taylor swift to ask her. No. Are you a fan .

What was it out when taylor swift intervened . I call ita when taylor swift intervened . I call it a blessing personally because for her to donate more than 50 of what i needed blew my mind. I never expected it to happen. It was really different. Congratulations. Make sure you make the most of it with your studies and enjoy it. Taylor swift, i think victoria would say, thank you very much. Thats all from breakfast today. Were back tomorrow. Have a great day. This is bbc news with the latest headlines.
