And coming up on the Bbc News Channel two time Gold Medallist Andy murray is heading to the olympics again. Hes been picked in britains six strong team for tokyo. Good Afternoon And Welcome to the Bbc News at one. Ministers are preparing to announce the latest update to englands Traffic Light System for travelling abroad, and theres speculation that malta could be added to the so called Green List, with no quarantine required, along with the spanish balearic islands, ibiza, majorca and minorca. This lunchtime, the prime minister hinted that in future, Foreign Travel without quarantine might be possible for those whove been double jabbed. Business leaders are hoping the government will relax restrictions on holidays but any changes comes amid rising concern, here and abroad, about the continuing spread, of the Delta Variant. Heres theo legget. Summer is here, and both Travel Companies and would be Holiday Makers are desperate for the current restrictions to be eased so that people can go to more destinations abroad without facing Quarantine Measures on their return. Under the so called Traffic Light System in england, arrivals from Green List countries dont have to go into isolation, although they do need to take a test within two days. Those coming back from Amber Or Medium risk countries need to isolate at home. Red means high risk, and quarantine in hotels is compulsory. The government in westminster has been reviewing the system and more countries could be added to the Green List today. Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland have previously adopted the Same list but ministers have also suggested this week that Quarantine Restrictions could be removed for travellers coming from Amber List countries, provided they have been fully vaccinated. The real opportunity we all have now is to open up travel through the double jab and, if you look at it, we have more than 60 of our population now have had two jabs, 83 have had one jab. We are really getting through it now. Easing restrictions in this way would make a big difference to rachel, who lives in switzerland. Her stepfather is ill in hospital while her 81 year old mum has also been very unwell recently. They are both in england. It would make such a big difference if we could get over to see my mum just to give her a big hug because shes gone through so much and. Yes, it has been a very difficult time. Save travel many attended around the Country Yesterday calling for more action to protect theirjobs and livelihoods. And travel businesses are lobbying hard. What we need today is government being transparent with us about how they are selecting the countries to go onto the Green List on the Traffic Light System or not, to use the Traffic Light System in the way that was intended. Not everyone wants britons to travel more freely. Germany had Angela Merkel said this week that she would like all Eu Nations to impose Quarantine Measures on people arriving from the uk to limit the spread of the so called Delta Variant of covid. But politicians in Tourist Hotspots disagree. I can understand miss merkel� s concern that she wants to take Precaution But Tourism is a vital issue for different state members, france, greece or italy, or even in spain. The government has consistently said the main goal of its international Travel Policy is to protect public health. But with more and more people now being fully vaccinated, pressure to ease restrictions is becoming intense. Theo leggett, Bbc News. Our medical Editor Fergus Walsh is with me. A lot the government has to assess. What will they be looking at. It is unclear what what will they be looking at. It is unclear what the what will they be looking at. It 3 unclear what the criteria are what will they be looking at. It 1 unclear what the criteria are apart from protecting our population. It would be a surprise if malta doesnt go on the Green List. It has been a surprise throughout because it has had consistently low rates of coronavirus and very high vaccination rates. What has changed in the last four weeks, we have gone in the last four weeks, we have gone in the last four weeks, we have gone in the uk from having among the lowest rates of Coronavirus Pair Head of population in the eu to now having the standout highest level of coronavirus, so it is not so much now about where the government may allow us to travel but about which governments will allow us to travel there, so in italy for example since there, so in italy for example since the beginning of the speaker have to isolate for five days, germany only allows Uk Citizens to come in for humanitarian reasons such as bereavement and then if they do they have to do 14 days isolation. Angela merkel saying britain is everywhere travelling anywhere in europe should be subject to two weeks of quarantine. Concerning the eu is about delta. It is expected by The End of August Delta will be the dominant variants across europe and if there is a sudden peak of cases in europe that could cause real problems because whereas two and three adults in the uk are fully immunised it is only one in three in the eu, so there are big gaps and Big Potentialfor there is more transmissible variant to cause real problems.

Turn on the tv, Computer Or Device and currently at any time of the day our energy is promoting foods high in salt, fat and sugar.

Heres sophie long. Oh baby, baby she was one of the biggest stars of the early noughties. Britney spears lived, loved and lost in the limelight. But for the last few years, shes been publicly silent about the arrangement her fans have been so vocal about. But via video phone, she finally told a Los Angeles court her side of the story.

She said she had been forced to take drugs so strong she felt drunk and unable to hold a conversation. She told the court, i want my life back. I am truly shocked at what i heard about the conservatorship. I think the reality was even worse than what we suspected. But i think we were also vindicated because a lot of what was suspected turned out to be true. In response, herfather� s lawyer read a statement on his behalf. It said. It did little to appease the anger towards him and the other conservators outside court. They are really all in on this together, and its part of a corrupt system that has allowed this to happen in broad daylight for 13 years. She said that she hopes they all Go To Jail and i hope they do as well. Youre toxic, im slipping under. The star now hopes an end to the arrangement she has found so toxic could soon be in sight.

No one yet knows how many others may be trapped in the wreckage of the block which is called champlain towers south. It partially collapsed in the middle of the night. I looked out of the window and you couldnt see. I thought it was a Storm Or Something coming in, and when the dust cleared the Back Half of the building or the back two thirds of the building was gone, down to the ground. It looks like alljust from the top to the bottom section of the building just collapsed. Its crazy, its something youd see in an earthquake or something. This video was posted by the resident of a nearby hotel. The Miami Dade Fire Rescue Department has sent more than 80 Fire And Rescue trucks to the scene. The oceanfront building, which was constructed in 1981, is in the Surfside Area of miami, just north of miami beach. The neighbourhood is home to many retired people.

People from the building and from surrounding areas have been taken to a Holding Area whilst everyone waits to find out more. James reynolds, Bbc News.

Our top story this lunchtime. The government prepares to set out its latest update on Foreign Travel, with the hope of new destinations without quarantine. Buckingham palace says it has to do more to improve diversity among its staff. Coming up on the Bbc News Channel england have trained for the first time after finding out they will face germany next at the euros, but Harry Maguire Wasnt with the rest of the squad as his workload continues to be managed after injury. The Scottish Government is facing calls to issue an official apology to mothers who were pressured into giving up their babies for adoption in the 19505, � 60s and � 705. Its thought up to 60,000 women had babies forcibly taken from them, simply because they were unmarried. Some of them have been Meeting Ministers this morning, and say an apology would help to lift the sense of shame. Our correspondent, duncan kennedy, has been speaking to one woman, elspeth ross, about what she went through, and the lost decades without her son. So here we are, this is it. Elspeth ross was unmarried when she became pregnant 1962. It feels really weird, really weird. The shame was so great she was sent in secret to this house in glasgow, then a Church Run Mother and baby home. Its where she gave birth. This is the first time shes been back inside in 59 years. It feels strange walking in here after all these years. Its now flats, but she goes straight to the room where she last saw her baby. This is the last place i saw my son. Its a moment she yearns for the past. Just turn the clock back. When you see this room, what does it mean to you . Its horrible. Its just horrible. I saved this up for years. This was the last place you saw your baby. In that room. Elspeth wouldnt see her son again for 35 years. Did you give up your baby . No, he was taken, he was actually taken from my arms without telling me what was happening. There are no official figures for how many unmarried women were forced to give up their babies for adoption in scotland in the three decades after the second world war. I feel deep sadness that in the past women were forced to give their children up for adoption. Earlier this month the first minister Nicola Sturgeon said she would now examine whether an apology to the Birth Mothers is appropriate, and today, the mothers met the scottish Childrens Minister to discuss the idea. I have No Doubt they are considering an apology and im in No Doubt that they are gathering information to assist them in that process. The Birth Mothers were told today that the Scottish Government will now take evidence from more witnesses before deciding whether an enquiry or an apology should be given. Duncan kennedy, Bbc News. The governments independent advisers on Climate Change have accused Boris Johnson of failing to live up to his rhetoric on cutting carbon emissions. The climate Change Committee says the prime minister has made remarkable verbal commitments on the environment, but his policies so far wont meet the targets. In a weeks time, voters in Batley And Spen in West Yorkshire will head to the polls to elect a new mp. The By Election was triggered after Labours Tracy Brabin stepped down to become a regional mayor. Our chief political correspondent Adam Fleming has been speaking to voters about the issues that matter most to them. At Batley Station theres a handy guide for reporters visiting this bit of yorkshire for the By Election. This mural actually gives you a really good idea of what this place is like. Youve got your Market Towns and your railway heritage, your big employers likejohnstones paints and foxes biscuits. Theres quite a big asian community, so theres a mosque in there as well, and then youve got batley bulldogs, the rugby league team. It really is a picture that paints A Thousand words. Beans and sausages. Do you want them . But you Cant Paint the Community Spirit on display at this Food Bank set up byjosie and dilys during the pandemic. I mean, Covid Hit everybody hard and probably cleckheaton as much as anybody. A lot of people around here get by and arent more than one or two pay cheques away from a crisis. And dont get these two started on the issue of transport. Buses are absolute rubbish. So what is the problem with the buses . There arent enough of them, the timetables dont hook in with one another. I had to use the buses the other day and it took me an hour and a half to get from here to mirfield and i could have done that in 15 minutes in the car, and its expensive. Bus fares are far too expensive for a lot of people. I mean, for what it costs you to get to the neighbouring Food Banks you could probably buy the best part of a Weeks Worth of shopping. So the vision is very clear, a new cricket facility. Now meet abdul, who needs £2. 5 million to realise his dream of new sports facilities, and he hopes this By Election is a way to get what neighbouring places have been getting. We went recently to play at elland cricket ground. | wonderful facilities for the local community, and ourjaws were drooling, and we were thinking, what is it that theyve got and they need, where our needs are not being met . And those issues are being played out in the battle of the lamp posts. It started as a two Horse Race between labour and the tories, but then George Galloway arrived for the workers party, with a big pitch to the asian community. And muslim voters like muhammad and his customers could swing the result here. Post pandemic, people are looking for investment in jobs and opportunities, and just regeneration within the town. I dont think theres any such thing as a muslim vote. I think George Galloway has done a Split Right through the middle. Usually it does, usually Everybody Votes for one party, but he has caused a stir and definitely divided the community in that sense. Everybody has their own opinions, | not to follow our previous parentsj or told we need to vote labour, weve all now got an opinion. Which we express. And there are actually 16 candidates to choose from. Thrilling for political pundits. For the voters of batley, a little bit exhausting. Adam fleming, Bbc News, Batley And Spen. Well, there are 16 candidates standing in the Batley And Spen By Election, and you can find more information and the full list of the contenders on the Bbc News website. Buckingham palace has admitted it has to do more to increase diversity among its staff. Its annual report, detailing How The Public Funds the monarchy, shows only 8 of its workforce is from an ethnic minority. It also reveals the prince of wales continued to support the Duke And Duchess of sussex financially in the months after they stood down as senior royals. Nicholas witchell reports. It is the institution which stands at the pinnacle of national life. But now, for the first time, Buckingham Palace has conceded that it has not done enough to promote diversity within the royal household. The publication of The Palaces annual report has been accompanied by remarks by a senior royal official. On diversity, the official said. Both the queen and the prince of wales have embraced the principles of diversity over many years. Yet only 8. 5 of Buckingham Palace staff are from ethnic minorities. A target of 10 has now been set to be achieved by The End of next year. According to The Palace, this more active approach to diversity was under way before the Duke And Duchess of sussex gave their us Television Interview in which meghan suggested shed encountered racist attitudes within the royal family. Elsewhere, The Palaces annual report notes that the sussexes have made a payment of £2. 11 million to cover the cost of the refurbishment of frogmore cottage in windsor, which it had been intended would be their permanent home. And from clarence houses annual review, confirmation that the prince of wales gave a substantial sum to harry and meghan to support their transition to a new life. Harry has said he was cut off financially. Speaking of refurbishment, these are the latest pictures from inside Buckingham Palace. Its currently in the fourth year of a ten year, £369 million refurbishment programme. The closure of The Palace to visitors last summer had a detrimental effect on palace revenue, down more than £10 million. But it meant that in some areas, such as The Palace picture gallery, work was able to proceed without interruption. For the queen, who had herfirst Face To Face Audience with the prime Minister Yesterday since march of last year, it should mean that The Palace is ready to receive visitors again in time for her Platinum Jubilee next year. Nicholas witchell, Bbc News. The England Team have been training this morning ahead of their last 16 clash against germany next week in the euros.
