Flu vaccine is to be offered to more than half of englands population this winter to prevent the Health Service being overwhelmed by another surge in coronavirus cases. 13 million three jabs will be provided to people over 50 and children under 11. Catherine burns has the story. It is not the virus we have all been focusing on, but like covid 19 food can be serious, putting strain on the nhs and killing thousands and this year it could come on top of a possible surge in coronavirus cases. Which is why this winter the government wants more than half the people in england to get the people in england to get the flu jab, or the nasal spray for children. The prime minister, visiting a gp surgery in london. Listen out for his slightly muffled view on people who dont believe in vaccination. There are all of these anti vaxxers now, isnt it, nuts, he says. He couldnt be clearer on why the Vaccination Programme is being extended. The reason we are doing this is to protect the nhs in the winter months because obviously, we have still got covid, we have still got the threat of a second spike of covid and it is vital, therefore, to keep that pressure off the nhs by everybody getting a flu jab. Normally it is treated as pregnant, anyone 65 or older or people with certain medical conditions as well as preschool and Primary School age children. This winter it will be extended to the over 50s, year seven pupils, people who have been shielding and anyone they live with. Plans for scotland, wales and Northern Ireland have not yet been announced. Last year 25 Million People in england were eligible for the three vaccine, and around 10 million decided not to have it. Gps say it is a goodidea to have it. Gps say it is a good idea to tackle flu head on, but there are real questions about exactly how it is going to happen. Normally during a flu clinic this waiting room would be absolutely packed. Right now because of social distancing, they are only allowed five patients in the entire building. We might have to deliver vaccinations in parks, near cinemas and shopping centres, in car parks, where it is not in a confined building and also the capacity will be better in terms of social distancing. There is some optimism that hand washing, social distancing and wearing masks, measures brought in to fight coronavirus, could also help stop flu from spreading. Catherine burns, bbc news. Now it is time for the travel show. This week airlines, anger, and still no answers. The people fighting a four month battle hello and welcome to this weeks travel show, coming from venice. Now, if the smile on my face looks bigger than normal, thats because at last we are able to go on ourfirst foreign trip since coronavirus put a stop to almost everyones travel plans around four months ago. But its early days, and we are being very cautious and you know what . It feels so good to be back on the road. Coming up on this weeks show. Refunds and your rights. Why are some passengers still out of pocket for the flights that never took off . Canals without the crowds. Could the end of the lockdown mean a Second Chance for venice . And exit makes an exit, as the massive serbian summer festival is finally cancelled, we ask what next for live music . First up, that issue thatjust doesnt go away refunds. You may remember when we first started reporting on lockdown back at the end of march, it quickly became apparent that many people just couldnt get their money back for cancelled flights. Four months on and we are still being contacted by viewers who cant get a refund from their airlines, so we have sent simon calder in to investigate why. Between march and june, we on the travel show estimate that at least half a billion travellers have had their flights cancelled worldwide, and, quite reasonably, many would like their money back. The Airlines Response has been very lacking in information, and the most important thing is how long i should expect to wait for my refund. The travel agent is saying that the airline is responsible, and the airline is telling me that the travel agent are responsible. We received the refund number on june ist. And as yet we have had nothing else. We only know that there is 120 days wait. The same as everybody else. I have lost myjob now as well, so i have got no income any more, so it would have been nice to have it back. A little sooner. With flights being cancelled, your rights are clear. At least in the uk and the european union. You must get your money back within a week, whether you have booked direct with the airline, or through a travel agent. Many other countries, including the us, india, brazil and egypt have similar rules, but, in this unprecedented crisis, its clear that Many Airlines and agents are falling short of their refund obligations. Here in st albans, one group of customers feel particularly let down. Back in march, 21 members of the nsg performing arts school were supposed to fly to los angeles to compete in an International Dance competition. Basically two years of working every week, every sunday, and fundraising for as much money as you can because it is very expensive to get over there. So we had various fundraising events. Both my children got part time jobs so that they could help raise money towards it. Christmas was cut a little bit short in the presents and things, and obviously at the moment still we are waiting for that to come back. A few days before flying out, the group were notified by their carrier, virgin atlantic, that their flights had been cancelled. Three and a half months later they were still waiting for their refund of £14,000. It is really frustrating. On a daily basis, having to e mail them and obviously have been contacting the travel agent. Various other mothers as well have been having to e mail them constantly, and none of us have been getting anything back. Or, we have been getting e mails that say here is a reference number, and we will contact you within five days, and then we dont get contacted. It is just frustrating. Virgin has apologised to the dance group for the delay, and told us. Fortunately this story has a happy ending. Since speaking to us, 0llie, nick and the group have got their money back. But the refund fiasco has created a new industry, helping passengers get their money back from airlines in return for a slice of the proceeds. A German Company called flight right has brought a lawsuit over unpaid refunds against a number of international airlines, including lufthansa and klm. 0scar, have you got any idea how much, globally, is owed to passengers whose flights were cancelled 7 it is really an unprecedented amount. Of course we do not know on a global scale, but in germany, there is over 1 billion euros of refunds owed, and if you then extrapolate this to other countries, it means that in europe we are talking about multiple billions of ticket refunds owed to the customers. Surely, then, this is an extraordinary time. Airlines have made redundant thousands of workers. They have no cash coming in shouldnt they be given a little leniency . So, in our opinion, this leniency is up to the customer. The customer has entered into a contract with these airlines and, if they want to act as a kind of micro loan, as a bank, for the airlines, then it is up to them, but on the other hand, if you just say it is just my money, and i dont want to give you a loan, then it is up to the customer to get the money back as soon as the law is able to give it back to them. One of the other airlines in 0scars sights is ryanair, the biggest Budget Airline in europe. There is no shortage of people out there who are trying to make money on the back of airlines. All thats going to happen to the customer is, they will wait just as long and they wont get the full refund, because these claims harvesters will take a piece for themselves. So why is it proving so difficult to give customers their money back . Its value. We have in excess of 20 million passengers to deal with. We are working our way through that. We are, in excess of 750 Million Euros now of vouchers, cash refunds, or flight changes. But the important issue is, everybody who wants their money back will get it back. It is just taking some time. The head of the aviation trade association, iata, goes further, saying that delaying passenger refunds is vital for the industrys cash flow. It is a matter of survival for us, and the cash position, the cash crisis, that we are facing is probably the most urgent and the most difficult part of our situation currently, so we are conscious of, how can i qualify, the help we are asking passengers for. It would be nice to share the burden, if you want us to survive. The airlines say that if the refund rules were enforced to the letter, they would simply close down, to everyones detriment. But one possible outcome is that your airfare could be held in trust once you have touched down safely, the airline gets your money or, if the flight is cancelled, you get the cash back. Worse for the airlines cash flow, better for yours. That must be incredibly frustrating, and i hope its not too long before everyone who is owed a refund gets one, but do stay with us, because still to come. Here in venice, we meet the people hoping to kick start a new kind of tourism. Now normally at this time of year in europe is buzzing with some of the biggest summer music festivals. Millions of us travel to them every year, attracted by the muddy fields, the long toilet queues and some of the biggest live music acts on the planet. But thanks to covid 19, 2020 has been a total write off, so we have sent radio 1 and 1extra dj tiffany to find out exactly what this means for the live music scene. This is the site of the exit festival in serbia. For 20 years it has welcomed 50,000 people every summer to this amazing fortress in novi sad, to see acts like liam gallagher, skepta, and carl cox. The organisers were desperately hoping to be the only big established festival to keep the show on the road this year. But, last week, just a month before opening, it became clear that running such a big event during a Global Pandemic is just too difficult. Given the nature of the virus and how it spreads it is no surprise that gigs and festivals are still in a state of lockdown. 15 years as a producer and mc. As a dj myself i, like many other artists, need venues to be open in order to work. But i have spent the summer at home baking banana bread rather than travelling the world. In addition to myjob as a dj on bbc radio1 addition to myjob as a dj on bbc radio 1 and on bbc radio1 extra, i was booked to play all over the world at festivals like wireless in the uk, and id rocks in spain. First we thought to reduce capacity by 50 , but after the cases started building again we were ready to go with 90 readjustment of capacity. We discussed with officials the possibility for all of the visitors to get tested before entry. For many of us it has clearly been a wasted summer and while we cannot wait to get back into venues and perform we understand it has to be done in a safe way. Some promoters are using empty car parks for live driving concerts. He is the idea. You stay in your car, listen to car radio and enjoy the gig from a safe distance. In germany 2a driving concerts and shows have been staged as well as three weddings. So, tell us how it works. You show the ticket through your window so the ticket through your window so you dont have any contact with people. You drive in and you watch a great music show, and you listen with your own car radio. And what is the atmosphere like . This is interesting. We were scared when we started but the atmosphere was incredible. And to the artists that are performing two cars, what do they think . Some artists did two three shows and the second night wasjust two three shows and the second night was just like a two three shows and the second night wasjust like a regular concert. We in total 40 shows and after 40 shows, there isnt any alternative. Live music reve nu es any alternative. Live music revenues had been predicted to reach 34 billion by 2023, so people are being seriously knitted to get things moving again. Singer songwriter Laura Marling has had a busy summer of shows all over the world grind toa of shows all over the world grind to a complete thought. With european and american tour is cancelled, laura has felt the impact of coronavirus first hand. I would have gone on like a28 hand. I would have gone on like a 28 day us tour, followed by a three week european tour, sol think it is a total of around 40 shows that were cancelled. We are here in the union chapel, shall we talk about why . I did a live streamed audience free pay per view why . I did a live streamed audience free pay per view show from here, and it was an incredible experience. When i think about this life i leave behind. I still raise no praise to the skies. We sold more tickets than you can physically get people in this room. That was a nice experience for me, and for the people who watch the show, they found it satisfying in a way that they might find a solo show satisfying. Going from the union chapel to worthy farm, and you experience, i guess, replacing a glastonbury crowd with. Replacing a glastonbury crowd with. With replacing a glastonbury crowd with. With a cow. It was surreal. And doing a socially distance bbc broadcast was surreal as well but it was fun. Applause unique and captivating, venice isa dream unique and captivating, venice is a dream destination for millions of tourists who feel its narrow streets every summer, but in recent years, mass tourism has driven up rents and driven out locals leaving some to call the city and historical theme park. The rise of low Cost Airlines and visiting cruise liners and an influx of tourists from emerging asian markets have put local infrastructure under strain. Almost six months ago, all of that came to a sudden halt, when coronavirus hit and new travel restrictions exposed just how heavily many v nations rely on tourism. You can see by what is on sale and how quickly the people here have had to adapt to life after covid. They have even got the venetian style facemasks. There are less people than usual but let me say that it can be a good moment to come, because you can find that you can go round for insta nce find that you can go round for instance venice but the rest of italy and in places that are less crowded, with the Safety Measures that are very good, very high, in some cases, and because we are concerned about the risk, but we have taken severe measures to make sure that people who come are safe in italy. Only 55,000 people call this place home, but over 26 Million People arrive here each year and whilst the newly empty streets have been a welcome breather for some, empty streets have been a welcome breatherfor some, they have been catastrophic for others. Another business that has always relied on venices steady flow of visitors is the iconic cafe which is an International Hotspot attracting multiple customers such as andy warhol, Charlie Chaplin and clark gable. It is one of the oldest cafe is in the world, and was due to celebrate its 300th anniversary this year. And instead they have been closed for over four months and having been recently opened, anna tells me how to how they have been getting on. It was carnival, the end of february. Has the cafe ever been closed that loan . Never, not even during the world war. How much down are you on business, 50, 60 . Iwould how much down are you on business, 50, 60 . I would say, 70 . As much as that. Venice relies on tourists, no tourists, no life in venice. There was a complaint, what shall we do without tourists . Now, a good proportion of the cleon tell here come straight from the cruise liners. In total, there are ships account for about total, there are ships account forabout1. 5 total, there are ships account for about 1. 5 million extra visitors every year, but not eve ryo ne visitors every year, but not everyone here is delighted to see them. The recent pause in tourism provided by the pandemic has fuelled local protests calling for the government to seize the moment to turn the tide on mass tourism. This woman is part of a network of over 3000 venetian residents campaigning to protect the heritage of their city. Do you think about the cruise liners . Do you see a huge difference or a change during the pandemic because they were no longer allowed to come here . Yes, yes, of course, without them, the air was com pletely without them, the air was completely more clear, more fresh. But the cruise ships bring a lot of people who must bring a lot of people who must bring money to the city. Not so much. People who stay in the cruise ships, they sleep there, they eat there, they are buying some cheap souvenirs, all for1 euro. We want to increase social housing and to attract investment, to create newjobs, new opportunities that are not only related to tourism, because you cannot found the economy of a place only in one sector, because when this sector, because when this sector is in crisis, the economy of the city is collapsing. So, do you think it is possible for you to make these changes . Because it is big, what you want to do. You need political and existential and economic change. We are very motivated and we love the place where we live. If there are something you dont like, you have to fight to change it. Another of a nation doing just thatis another of a nation doing just that is valeria, founder of venezia autentica, and has created a platform urging tourists to spend their money in the right places and preserve the local culture of venice. This looks good, grazie. Those are finger food, and they are called ciceti. This is very much the way of life. How much of an opportunity do you think venice now has to restart tourism in a different way. People are going to finally be ok to say that it is not ok the way it is. We need to move from the way it is which is not sustainable, which is destructive, and do something better. Are you being a little bit naive here, because ultimately tourism is about money and you are going up about money and you are going up against the machine that is bringing millions and millions of euros into venice. The way things happen now people were doing tourism business, they are selling the destinations. They can make business only as long as there is something to sell, so they are extracting everything and destroying the social and economic tissue, the heritage, the environment. They will not have anything they can sell any more, so now is an Incredible Opportunity to rethink tourism and if you want to act, it is now, because tourism impacts everything in the places where we live and travel, so that we can truly build a better world. Well, thats it for this week. Coming up thats it for this week. Coming up next time. We are taking a look back at some of our favourite adventures in spain including the time that krista practised table manners at a recreated medieval banquet. What do i do for a knife and fork . Trust me, that is definitely worth a watch. Dont forget, you can catch up on some of our past adventures on the bbc iplayer. But for now, keep planning your next adventure, and i will see you all very soon. Goodbye. Hello again. I have been looking ahead to our weekend weather prospects. For saturday i dont like particularly what i see. A cloudy day for many, with outbreaks of rain at times. Looking at the satellite picture, to the west, you can see how extensive the cloud is, and it is a complex area of low pressure, bringing different zones of rain across the country, with a couple of weather fronts mixed in, pushing east. The first of those, bringing rain at the moment to scotland across wales and england too. As that clears we will be left with low cloud, drizzle for Northern Ireland and heavier bursts of rain and those rather murky conditions will extend to scotland. It will be a humid night with temperatures around 17 the low for some. Tomorrow, a cloudy start with some drizzle. I have mixed in thejet stream winds, you can see a dip, responsible for this line of very heavy showers extending in across the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland, so some heavy downpours around, and as that dip in thejet stream, the trough hits the weather front over the English Channel it causes a wave to develop and there will be a zone of heavy rain across east anglia and the south east of england, and this wave could push into central and southern england, the midlands, lincolnshire and yorkshire, some uncertainty about the zone of some of the wettest weather through the afternoon, but some areas will get pretty wet certainly in the east. The cricket will see some interruptions to play for the third test on monday. Looks like being a complete wash out. That is one to watch, as well. Through saturday night, outbreaks of rain clearing from east anglia and the south east. Skies clearing for a time, and it will begin to start to turn less humid but temperatures still around 12 celsius. Sunday, the better half of the weekend for many of us. Broadly speaking a day of sunshine and showers, with lengthy outbreaks of rain working their way into north west scotland and a breezier day but feeling significantly fresher and more pleasant with more in the way of sunshine coming through. Temperatures for most of us between 17 20, not feeling too bad. Into next week, we have a lot of cloud on monday, so it is not exactly triple a rated weather, we will see cloud and some heavy rain as well, and turning drier and warmer as the week goes on. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. 0ur headlines today gyms and leisure centres reopen across england but its warned a third will stay shut due to financial hardship. And indoor pools are now officially open once more. We have ourfirst swimmers here taking a dip in what was the olympic pool in london 2012.
