pandemic into an emergency phase of the andemic. ., , , ., pandemic. so many countries are effectively pandemic. so many countries are effectively winding pandemic. so many countries are effectively winding down - pandemic. so many countries are effectively winding down anyway. indeed, and i think that s almost certainly why the who has taken this decision, it s because america, for example, is ending its emergency on the 11th of may, later this month. in fact, then you will not be required to have vaccination to enter the usa. here in the uk we have seen the covid app decommissioned. so in a sense dr tedros is sort of channelling that feeling that the emergency is over. naomi, thanks for that. the conservative party in england has suffered significant because losses in local elections and the bbc has projected based on the result today, follow britain voted, that labour would have a nine point lead over the conservatives, making it the largest lead the labour party have recorded
and tillis working on extending 42. i don t think it s going to go anywhere. it doesn t have the votes. i think at this time we have to prepare for what s to come next week. i am concerned but i m glad that the biden administration is surging resources to the border and at the same time setting up these different processing centers throughout latin america to deal with asylum seekers and safer places so that they don t have to resort to smugglers taking them to the border. i mean, you know, we are in the 5th of may, 11th of may is just around the corner and they are talking about these centers, et cetera. today colombia announced it would not be allowing repatriation flights into colombia from folks deported from the united states. i m wondering, congressman, is there anything you think that could be done to focus on the men, women and children who are trying to ask for asylum? there s no real way for them to do it without reverting to the
emergency in the country. simon calder, the independent s travel correspondent, joins us now from heathrow. good morning to you. take us through the detail. the date we are looking at is the 11th of may, a week today. it is. that is when america s public health emergency will officially end. it will not be until friday the 12th of may, over a week tomorrow, before people from the uk who have not been vaccinated against coronavirus will be able to travel there. i have calculated, it will be 38 months, over three years, since anybody who was unvaccinated has been allowed to visit the us on holiday, on a family visit or on business. that is because it was the 14th of march 2020 when president trump said nobody from britain can come in. that was not released until november 2021, come in. that was not released until november2021, it come in. that was not released until
saying about the potential for a migrant surge the 11th of may? well, john, brownsville city commissioner tells me she has never seen anything like this. resources are stretched thin, laredo sector agents have been happening the rgv sector. the drone as it s happening, every day this week over 2,000 have been processed and that is expected to go up when title 42 ends in under two weeks. that s something dhs secretary mayorkas admits even after laying out the biden administration now border plan. listen to this. we do expect that encounters at our southern border will increase. as smugglers are seeking to take advantage of this challenge, and spreading disinformation the border will be open after that. john, the border is already open for thousands of migrants crossing every single day,
tuesday the ninth and the 11th of may for the finals on saturday the 13th. that s it for watching. hello there. particularly warm days have been few and far between so far this spring. in fact, the highest temperature we ve recorded this yearwas in highlands, scotland, 21.2 celsius. for england and wales, temperatures have not yet got above 18 degrees celsius. we have to look back all the way to 1986 to find a year when we ve had to wait this long for temperatures higher than that across england and wales. but that may be about to change. over the next few days, some warmer air pushes its way northwards. the one place that won t get an awful lot warmer is the far north of scotland. so, through the rest of the week, we will see some spells of rain through the day ahead, and then it turns warmer for many into the start of the weekend, albeit still with some scattered showers, some decent dry weather as well.
