Health officials consider making the Nhs Covid App less sensitive, to avoid millions of people having to self isolate this summer. New research confirms that for children, theres an � extremely low� risk of severe Illness Or Death from covid 19. Authors of a new report say that front Line Care workers supporting elderly or disabled people in england, are underpaid by £7,000 per year. Local authorities across The Uk say they face a £3 billion shortfall in their budgets over the next three years as the country emerges from the pandemic. And at 9 30, Bbc Sport looks ahead to todays wimbledon Semi Final Clash between Novak Djokovic and Denis Shapovalov. Good morning. Holiday companies are reporting a surge in bookings following the decision to allow fully vaccinated Uk Residents to return to england from Amber List countries without having to self isolate. But there are warnings from Immigration Officials of lengthy delays at The Uk border, as International Travel continues to open up. The Rule Change comes into force on the 19th ofjuly, ending the ten Day Quarantine Requirement for those with two jabs. Airlines say there has been a rapid rise in Ticket Purchases since the announcement was made yesterday, with easyjet seeing a 400 increase in bookings to Amber List destinations. Analysts say they do not expect Flight And Holiday prices to rise. Currently, only those returning from Green List destinations are not obliged to self isolate. But now, if you ve had two vaccines, those rules will also apply to Amber List destinations. Countries like spain, portugal and france are on the Amber List though each will have their own varying Entry Requirements for Uk Travellers. 0ur Correspondent Aruna iyengar has this report. Remember this . A foreign holiday may soon be a reality. Travel companies say bookings to Amber List countries have taken off following the relaxation of rules on quarantine. Its a Life Saver for them. Traffic on our website had a huge spike at lunchtime, straight after the announcement was there. There is a huge amount of demand for people to go on holiday, people do want to get away, theyve wanted to go away. Within an hour of the announcement, skyscanner saw a 53 increase in traffic to our site following the same time The Day before. And thatsjust, i mean, a clear sign of the huge appetite that there is for travel. Jet2 says mediterranean hotspots like spain, the balearics, canaries, greece and the Greek Islands are the most popular. Easyjet says, after the government announcement, bookings were up 400 . Its not plain sailing yet. There will be extra costs because travellers have to pay for Covid Tests before and after their return. Also, theyll still have to quarantine if theyve been jabbed outside The Uk, and rules may be different in Northern Ireland, scotland and wales. Some have questioned why Travel Restrictions are easing now, just as the number of coronavirus cases in The Uk is soaring. Its the highest in europe. But cases are starting to rise thereto, particularly in popular Holiday Destinations like spain, portugal and greece. That could mean a sudden changes to Travel Rules imposed by other countries. Also, whatever the Uk Nations decide, a number of countries like italy still wont allow Uk Travellers in without a period of isolation. And some amber countries wont let Uk Holiday makers in at all. Aruna iyengar, Bbc News. The Transport Secretary Grant shapps, has said that the government was no longer encouraging nor discouraging people to travel to Amber List countries for holiday purposes. Were saying that, you know, if youve been fully vaccinated that means two vaccinations plus waiting two weeks, 14 days then you can go away, including for holidays. So that will change, because, as you rightly say, we werer saying to people please dont go to amber countries for holiday purposes. That will change. But you will still need to take a test before you leave that country and you will need to take a day two Pcr Test when you come home. So theres still additional checks in place as well. Stephanie boyle from skyscanner, the holiday booking website, who featured in our report, joins me now. Thank you for being with us. What sort of change have you noticed since that announcement .

We have seen a huge increase in traffic to the site following the announcement, it was up by 53 , which is quite a big Lift Right after an announcement like that. But to be honest, were not surprised because every time there has been a change the corridor announcements or another destination added to the greenest, we have seen added to the greenest, we have seen a huge spike in interest in searches and both in searches and bookings. Weekly Search Volumes for parma rose by 65 following majorca and the balearics added to the Green List a couple of weeks ago. Thatjust goes to show people are desperate to get back out there and there is a huge interest in being able to take a trip, travel and feel safe when they are doing it.

Normally this is something predictable, they can base it on seasonal patterns. 0ver predictable, they can base it on seasonal patterns. Over the course of the last year their data and what they would usually use to predict has gone out of the window. They have been using data like skyscanner, to see whether search is coming and when bookings are coming and when you announcements come into play and when restrictions are lifted. They can add capacity as soon as they can. Not all of their aeroplanes are in the sky right now but once the routes are reopened and we get a sense of what the demand is for specific groups, airlines can address that by adding capacity. Then the prices will level out. You can put a Price Alert on a specific route if you want to keep an eye on what the prices look like, that is something you can do on skyscanner as well. It gives people a sense that there are deals to be had, great prices and they are all happening for the School Summer holidays, which is great news for those families who are keen for a change of scene.

Also a lot of interest in the Greek Islands and in the united states with people looking to potentially visit friends, relatives who they havent seen in a long time and this is the first chance they can do that withouT Needing to quarantine in return.

Nobody is 100 certain what things will be like in a few weeks or a few months� time . Absolutely. I think Grant Shapps talked about it, the government had to make decisions about this. They are hoping not to have to walk anything back any more and with the traffic light system, some destinations have been coming off the Green List and onto amber, so the Green List and onto amber, so the fact this means there is a number of additional destinations that people who are doubly vaccinated can go to, should make this a little bit more consistent going forward. It is definitely something that people are going to want to keep an eye on. A lot of the airlines as well as Skyscanner Have Features that allow you to check what the restrictions are in place for where you are coming from and where you are going. So there was great ways to make sure you are keeping an eye on the changing restrictions. But this will allow double vaccinated travellers to travel more freely. It is notjust The Uk, the us is doing that, europe are allowing a lot more freedom of travel. We have high hopes that this means it is a consistent new thing, we are reopening travel and the success of the Vaccination Roll out will mean people can feel confident booking trips, notjust for the booking trips, not just for the Summer Booking trips, notjust for the summer but further afield. Booking trips, not just for the summer but further afield. Thank you so much, stephanie. And coming up we� ll be looking to answer your questions on all things travel at 12 30 today. We� ll be joined by Wanderlust Travel Magazine Editor Lyn hughes, and Lisa Francesca Nand from the big Travel Podcast Send in your questions using the Hashtag Bbcyourquestions the Nhs Covid App for england and wales could be updated to make it less sensitive. In the last week ofjune, more than 300,000 people were � pinged� and asked to self isolate, the highest weekly figure this year by a considerable margin. The Department Of Health says it is vital people are aware of their personal risk so they can make informed decisions on their behaviour.

The Department Of Health itself says the app is doing thejob it was designed for. All along, there have been questions about whether it is working. It is working, but working too well for many people. Remember also that is a change coming to the app, but not until the middle of august, when people who are double vaccinated will be told, you will get an alert saying you have got to go to isolation unless you are double vaccinated. You will be able to tell the app Evolve Double Vaccinated and don� T Need to isolate. The other thing which is important to remember, it is effectively voluntary. They don� t know that you have got this, it is very anonymous and it is up to people trusting the app. Some people will be wondering whether the government is undermining trust in the app about all this talk about tweaking its Sensitivity.

Data from the first 12 months of the pandemic in england shows 25 Under 18s died from covid. The scientists behind the research say their studies of children are the most comprehensive yet anywhere in the world. 0ur Health Correspondent, naomi grimley, has more. Every day, we are learning more about Covid I9 and the latest research by four English Universities throws light on how likely children are to suffer serious illness. The researchers looked back at the cases of 61 children who had died with a positive Covid Test in the first year of the pandemic. They found that of those, 25 children actually died directly from Covid I9 rather than their Infection Being coincidental. The most vulnerable children were those with complex neuro disabilities. But, as with adults, other Risk Factors were identified in children who� d been hospitalised, such as being obese, having comorbidities like cardiovascular problems, or coming from non white ethnic backgrounds. The researchers suggest the overall risk of children and teenagers dying from Covid I9 is around one in half a million. We didn� t see any deaths in children and young people who are often perceived to be at higher risk from respiratory infections, so there were no deaths in children who had asthma as a single diagnosis, no deaths in children who had cystic fibrosis, no deaths in children who had Trisomy 21 or down syndrome. And no deaths in children who had type one diabetes. The government is expected to announce soon whether it intends to vaccinate children. Currently advisers are studying data from the us and israel which have already decided to do that. Naomi grimley, Bbc News. Let� s speak to dr elizabeth whittaker, senior clinical lecturer in Pediatric Infectious Diseases and immunology at imperial college london.

Because we have been talking about what we have seen on the ground in hospitals, having the real numbers to be really confident about that makes a huge difference to families, i think. What we found was very few children are admitted, so about 800,000 children were admitted with the Covid Test in the 12 months to The End of february this year and that probably include children who were admitted with things like a broken arm and a broken leg and had a positive Covid Test. The Risk Factors in those children, those children who have multiple and complex comorbidities, the ones that get the most severe illness. As the report mentions, other 61 children were identified as having a positive covid pcl swap, when we looked at close detail on how they died, tragically there were 25 you could say the virus caused or led to their death, which is a small number in the total number of deaths out of the last year.

New research suggests that front Line Care workers, supporting elderly or disabled people in england, require the same skills as Teaching Assistants and Police Community Support officers and yet they� re paid £7,000 per year less. The Charity Integrated Care says says Pay Gap makes it difficult to recruit staff. The government says it hopes to give an update of its plans to reform Social Care quite soon. Here s our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. Shall we open some presents . It� s tony� s birthday today, and with his family unable to be with him, it� s his Support Worker Amy who will be at his side throughout The Day. I love myjob, i absolutely love myjob. And i always say to work in care you have to care, because you do. Tony has epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and he struggles to swallow. Amy has to monitor him closely and act quickly if needed. Stay awake. We need to celebrate, you can� t celebrate if you� re asleep. She has great responsibilities but as a 22 year old, is paid just £8. 88 an hour. I� ve Got Friends that work in retail that are getting upwards of £9, £10 per hour. And we� re not asking for, you know, rainbows and unicorns, we� re just asking to be appreciated and for our pay to reflect it. And today� s report underlines the Pay Gap between Care Staff and otherjobs with equivalent demands. It found Care Workers were paid an average ofjust under £17,700 per year. Compared with the 24,600 average pay for similar roles like senior Teaching Assistants, and Police Community Support officers. The charity that commissioned the research says that difference is wrong. But its boss maintains to change it, more money has to be spent by government on funding care. People find the work in Social Care incredibly rewarding, and they enjoy what theyre asked to do. But theyjust find that they cant survive and look after their own families on less than £18,000 per year and certainly thats the case if you are the main earner in the family. The government has said it will publish a plan for reform of the adult social Care System by The End of the year. Alison holt, Bbc News. With me now is social Care Worker Peter henderson.

Some of you will avoid the showers altogether and stick with pleasant spells of warm sunshine. Temperatures into the low 20s. The showers where they do fall will be slow moving.

The uk� s economy grew by 0. 8 in may as coronavirus restrictions eased to allow pubs and restaurants to serve indoors. This marked the fourth consecutive month of growth, but it was a slower rate than analysts had expected. It was also a slowdown from april, when the economy grew 2 as restrictions eased for non essential retailers and Hospitality Firms could serve outside. The economy is still 3. 1 below Pre Pandemic levels. With me now is rebecca harding, an independent economist specialising in Trade And Trade Finance And Ceo of coriolis technologies.

Two Supply Chain shortages. A lot of Supply Chains, particularly in the car sector, being affected by Semiconductor Shortages at the moment and it is affecting the economy across the whole world and that has had an impact on Uk Gdp this time around so we have to be wary of that. This time around there was a 16. 5 drop in output so that is a worry. Construction output is slowing as well. It is still above Pre Pandemic levels but it is slowing. Trade growth is slowing as well so there are things that are beginning to keeping where we are thinking we have gone beyond the catch up phase. I think the biggest thing of all this we do not know how other economies will react to the new Delta Variant, whether growth will be somewhere around the world, and that is going to have an effect on us. It and that is going to have an effect on us. ,. ,. , on us. It is still a time of enormous on us. It is still a time of. Enormous unpredictability on us.

There is already a feel good factor. There is already a feel good factor. There is already a feel good factor.

An independent economist specialising independent economist specialising in Trade And Trade finance. A senior local leader in Helmand Province has told the bbc he believes the lasting legacy of The Uk� s Military Mission in that part of afghanistan is war. The head of helmand� s provincial council, ataqallah afghan, was speaking after borisjohnson announced that The Uk had followed the us in withdrawing most of its troops. Today taliban militants claimed to have captured a key Border Crossing with iran. Last Night President Joe Biden defended the decision to withdraw us troops. 0ur chief international Correspondent Lyse Doucet is in the Capital Kabul and she explained the president � s key motivation behind the withdrawal. It is very emotional forJoe Biden. It was always said that he always carried around a card in his pocket which had the exact number of us forces, it was updated every day, who had died in iraq and in afghanistan. And in that speech last night he said we have been there so long that even our sons and daughters of the troops who first served are now serving on Front Lines. What we heard from president Joe Biden last night is what we know that Vice President Joe Biden thought and what senator Joe Biden thought. In other words, he has always felt that afghanistan was a quagmire, america should bring its men and women home. He talked about nation build. He said we are not here to nation build. But then afghans say, what were you doing in the last 20 years . You have been building schools, talking about democracy and helping to support our women� s activists, you helped to build a different kind of society and you are leaving us just as the taliban are at their biggest strength since 2001. And there is a real palpable fear here that women even tell us they are scared, they can� t even go into coffee shops, having a cup of coffee with a male friend, because the taliban will not allow it. That is what it comes down to here. Sometimes in afghanistan it is a big issue of security, of terrorism threats, but sometimes it� s simply whether you can go out and safely have a cup of coffee with a friend. It is such a painful time, you know. My pain doesn� T Matter compared to the pain of afghans, but i� ve been coming here for more than 30 years but i have been coming regularly over the past few months and even the mood now at the Beginning Ofjuly is different than the mood was in may. Everyone you talk to, whether it is a shopkeeper trying to get some sales for The Day, whether you get a Government Minister who is charged with trying to bring peace to this country, they are all worried about themselves, what will happen to them, what will happen to theirfamilies. What will be the fate of their country . They often say in wars that the narrative of what is happening on the ground is as consequential as the events on the ground. And there is this narrative now that the taliban are advancing, and they are. They are rapidly taking over the districts. It doesn� t mean they are going to overrun the capitals or even overrun kabul, but even afghans who said to me for months, i am not leaving, iam not leaving, i am going to stay here, now they are saying to me, well, i� m thinking about it now. And that� ll be the loss of the biggest achievement of the presence of international troops in afghanistan. They have created the kind of society here, the best and the brightest of afghans have taken these educational opportunities the world had to offer, the work experience. And just when they are poised to play a role in their country� s future, already play, they now feel they have no choice but to go wherever will take them. The headlines on Bbc News airlines and Travel Companies report a huge surge in demand for foreign holidays as Quarantine Rules for those returning to england are relaxed. Health officials consider making the Nhs Covid App less sensitive, to avoid millions of people having to self isolate this summer. New research shows that for children there� s an extremely low risk of severe Illness Or Death from covid 19. The uk� s First National database of Child Deaths has identified strong links between infant mortality, smoking and deprivation. The uk has the second highest number of deaths of children underfive in europe, after malta. The Department Of Health says it will publish a new Tobacco Control Plan later this year, to protect babies from the harms of smoking. Our Health Correspondent Deborah Cohen reports. Hi. This is maddie. She is healthy and happy, despite covid among her peers currently forcing her to isolate for a third time this nursery term. But her mother had been smoking for years when she fell pregnant, starting at just 1a. At the time, not far off a quarter of rochdale� s adult population smoked. Smoking is strongly linked to deprivation. Everyone, really, was smoking. I come from an area where a lot of young people do smoke as well, so the likes of My Friends In School and, if i� m honest, you know, it wasn� t discouraged not to smoke. You know, the adults weren� t, don� t smoke. It was all go round the back of the bike sheds, sort of thing. Smoking in a child� s household is contributing to The Uk having the second highest rate of deaths for children under five in western europe. Now the country� s first ever national database of Child Deaths has been created. Our experts are trying to work out why so many children are dying and it� s becoming clear that there is one word that cannot be ignored. That word is deprivation. This graph shows the poorer the background of a child the more likely they are to die. The correlation is unmistakable and it� s costing huge numbers of young lives. 23 of deaths are potentially avoidable, preventable, if we can eliminate Social Deprivation, and that translates to 700 additional deaths per year that could be avoided. Smoking in the household was identified as a factor in 226 Child Deaths studied. That is more than any other modifiable factor. Exposure to passive smoke is linked to low Birth Weights and premature delivery and the impact of parental smoking can lead to other childhood illnesses that run throughout life. Currently 9. 5 of women in england are smoking when they give birth. Far more than the 6 target. Pre Pandemic Analysis shows that while 62 councils saw a fall in the Number Smoking when a baby was born compared to four years earlier, 73 saw little change and 16 saw an increase in the rate of smoking. New figures covering the pandemic suggest fewer women smoking at birth but how reliable these data are and whether they are anything more than a blip is unclear. Around one in ten women smoke now, just the same as three or four years ago, and the government� s target was to reduce it to 6 or less by 2022, and we are nowhere near achieving that. It is midwife nicola pearson� sjob to visit pregnant women in sheffield who are smokers. She will give everything to help them give up but it� s not simple. If you use an example of a pregnant woman, so she lives maybe here, she� s got housing issues, so we might consider a team around the family, let� s bring in her housing officer, let� s think about how she can access tobacco, thinking about cheap and illicit tobacco availability, so let� s make sure Trading Standards are out there squashing down on that availability. What is clear, smoking is more than about personal responsibility. The government say they want a new office for Health Promotion to make smoking in pregnancy a focus. Deborah cohen, Bbc News. Today will be a Big Day for many people in france as nightclubs will be allowed to reopen. For nearly 18 months ever since the pandemic began they� ve had to remain shut. But not all clubs will be reopening their doors. Just a warning this report from the bbc� s Tim Allman contains flashing images. Back where he belongs, Dj Vinz behind the decks at Le Duplex in paris. No one is dancing yet but it� s only a matter of time. Soon this nightclub will be full, or at least mostly full, of party goers. It is going to be a special night, he says. It� s always great to see people so we are really looking forward to it. This was Le Duplex before the pandemic, a Premiere Hotspot on the Paris Nightclub scene, its owners desperate to get the party started as soon as possible. Translation | think whaT Matters most is to open, making profit is important but it will be secondary. I think we� re really eager for this wind of freedom because we know that, maybe, in august or september, we may be told to close our doors again. It� s believed only around a quarter of clubs will actually reopen, and only then with reduced capacity. The Trade Body that represents the industry says around 400 nightclubs have been forced to close permanently or are in deep financial trouble and this Grand Reopening coincides with the spread of the Delta Variant. Translation so, its true i that the timing is probably not the best, because we still have a very high incidence rate, and insufficient vaccination rate, so we consider that our businesses will not be ready from a health standpoint. Anyone hoping to get in will need proof of vaccination or a recent negative test but, as one potential customer put it, we haven� t had fun in a long time, and we need to have fun. Tim allman, Bbc News. We will be playing your some of those England Football songs in a moment. After the England Football team� s historic Semifinal Win in the euros, one fan was more excited than most when her Hero Mason Mount gave her his match shirt. The clip of belle receiving the shirt has been watched more than Two Million times. She told the bbc how surprised she was to get it. I didn� t realise it until the last moment because when he walked over he was coming in my direction but he was looking the other way so i didn� t expect it. So, when he came over and stood right in front of me that was when i finally realised i had it in my hands and it was just crazy. What you dont see in the video was we did a lot of work before the game, from kick off. Shes small but shes very mouthy and she was shouting Mason Mount as he was warming up and she managed to catch his eye in the warm up and he saw her flag, so luckily made an impression, and was hoping after the game ended we could catch his eye and be maybe a lucky recipient of the shirt and, yeah, the plan worked perfectly. When i went to the first Euro England Game me and my dad got there early and we saw the Euros Coach and i actually saw him and he waved to me and he smiled at me so i thought i would make a flag for him on the denmark game semifinal, and then that caught his eye and now i� ve actually got his shirt. I� m probably going to put it in a frame or keep it somewhere safe because i don� t want to sell it or i don� t want to wash it. When i went to School Everybody knew. It was very crazy because when i walked down the road the other day to pick my brother up there was someone shouting, superstar, and ijust didn� t know, and when we went to mcdonald� s there was someone like, its belle. And it� s just crazy because i� ve never had that before. It is crazy that england are in the final on sunday. The further the England Team have progressed in the euros, the more we have heard three songs which have become the sound track to the three Lions Journey to the final. The tunes have all re entered the charts on the back of the team� s success and, just as a warning, if they aren� t already stuck in your head, they will be shortly Three Lions on a shirt Jules Rimet still gleaming its Coming Home, its Coming Home its coming footballs Coming Home its Coming Home, its Coming Home its coming footballs Coming Home Sweet Caroline bah, bah, bah Good Times never seemed so good so good, so good Sweet Caroline bah, bah, bah Good Times never seemed so good so good, so good, so good looking back on where we first met i cannot escape and i cannot forget southgate, you� re the one you still turn me on football� s Coming Home again southgate, you� re the one you still turn me on football� s Coming Home again. Football definitely is Coming Home again on sunday. Sweet caroline is stuck in my head. A special song, especially when sung by england fans. Now it� s time for a look at the weather. There will be some sunshine around but there will be some showers cropping up, becoming heavy and fun as we go into the second half of the afternoon and evening. We have thick cloud pushing back into south West England and South Wales as we go through the afternoon which could bring more in the way of widespread patchy rain and drizzle. Sprightly skies in Northern Ireland but it is through eastern parts of england and the midlands where we could see some of those heavy and thundery showers develop. Light winds where the showers and storms form that could be with us for some time and a fair bit of rain. More persistent rain working through said wales and south West England heading towards the Channel Islands as we going through the start of the weekend. Temperature 15 or 16 degrees for one or two of you. Tomorrow will bring the most persistent of The Days rain. Southernmost counties of england particularly. Mainly the south of the m4 will see the heavier bursts pushing towards the London Area and then that will clear and the sunshine will come out. Different sorts of areas for showers tomorrow, the heaviest in North Wales and north West England and some parts of western scotland. Temperatures down a degree or so on today. Another Weather System is set today. Another Weather System is set to push on for a sunday which will take on the cloud and bring longer spells of rain towards the west. Some showers here and there, heavy thundery showers most likely across parts of Scotland And North east england. The best of the brightness in the morning, starting to glide over into the afternoon. Down towards the south west it could develop into something more significant as we go through the night and into monday. It could potentially bring a fair bit of rain if it develops as we see at the moment and that could bring some minorflooding. Summer is absent from the chart but there is a good deal of sport. It is women� s final is the most likely to see the wettest weather particularly towards the afternoon and men� s final day should be dry. Rainbow reach the capital into the evening. Typical british weather to see in england against italy at wembley. This is Bbc News these are the latest headlines in The Uk and around the world.
