hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are olivia utley, assistant comment editor at the telegraph and rob merrick, deputy political editor of the independent. it always seems to be that time of night with me. good job they re going to do most of the talking but before they do, i have to bring you up to date on the front pages. the metro leads with the announcement that all 16 and i7 year olds in the uk are to be offered first doses of the covid vaccine before they go back to school. the financial times reports on a warning from the the world health organization, who say booster shots in richer nations should be delayed until poorer countries receive more vaccines. the i writes that there will be changes to the traffic light system forforeign holidays,
this is bbc news. i m sally bundock with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. an olympic sprinter from belarus who was ordered home is granted a humanitarian visa by poland and is due to fly to warsaw on wednesday. norway s karsten warholm beats his own world record to win gold in the men s 400 metre hurdles. china is trying to contain its largest covid outbreak in months. authorities in the city of wuhan say its entire population of 11 million people will be tested for covid 19. the travel industry welcomes a decision by the uk government to abandon plans for a further change to its traffic light system for international travel.
the government has been using a traffic light system for travel. people can visit a green country. when they return, they need to take a covid test before departure, and another test once they re back. on returning from an amber country, people who are fully vaccinated don t need to isolate. but entering the uk from a red country will involve quarantining in a hotel for ten days. the government had been considering an amber watchlist, flagging up countries at risk of moving to red. but that s now been abandoned, following opposition from some mps. a decision welcomed by the travel industry. we already have a hugely complex system, a traffic light system that governs international travel and i think most people are struggling to keep up with those changes and to hear that we were about to have another layer of complexity added to that, i think was concerning for people. whenever those rules change, it impacts people s plans and it dents people s confidence.
