And coming up on the Bbc News Channel just 18 days after dislocating his shoulder, Alun Wynjones is set to re join the lions squad. It� ll be his fourth successive lions tour. Good Evening And Welcome to the Bbc News at six. Spain� s popular Holiday Islands ibiza, majorca and menorca are all being moved on to the government� s Amber List just two weeks after they were approved for quarantine free travel. From next monday, anyone who� s over 18 and not fully vaccinated will have to quarantine on return home. Around 200,000 british tourists are understood to be holidaying on the islands now with many more booked to travel there over the summer. It comes after a sharp rise in new cases particularly on Majorca Which is being blamed on end of term parties on the islands. 0ur Correspondent Coletta smith is at manchester airport. Hi, sophie. Yes, the Balearic Islands of majolica, minorca, a beefy, particularly popular with young people, many of whom have not been able to receive their second vaccination yet. Ibiza. That provides a quandary for the summer. Do they go and work out how to quarantine when they get back on, or do they cancel or postpone their holidays, potentially losing money as a result . It is yet another Government Decision that has very different implications depending on your age. Its it� s more choppy waters for those dreaming of a summer getaway, as the Traffic Lights have changed colours again. That means another change of Gearfor Staff at again.

Weighing up that extra i Frustration And Expense against the lure of a holiday has become even more complicated. Coronavirus cases are rising sharply across the uk too. The latest official figures show another 49 deaths recorded in the last 2a hours and 42,302 new infections across the uk, the highest Daily Figure since 15th january. More than 46 Million people have had theirfirstjab. That� s just over 87 percent of uk adults. And more than 35 Million just over 66 of all adults are fully vaccinated. From next week, face coverings will no longer be required by law in england. Coverings will no longer be but Heathrow Airport has followed Transport For London by saying that facemasks will continue to be mandatory from next week for people wanting to travel. There is growing pressure from mayors and council leaders across the country to make masks mandatory from next week. 0ur Transport Correspondent Caroline Davies has This report. Whether a mask is a must orjust recommended when busy will depend you� re travelling on public on monday. In london, you� ll need to wear one to travel on all of Transport For London� s services, or Risk Being turned away or removed. Wearing a facemask indoors reduces the chances of transmission. Don� tjust Take My Word for it. The government� s own Advisors Sage say that, as do the world health 0rganization, but also, speaking to transport workers, the trade unions, londoners, businesses, wearing a facemask gives greater public confidence. What do londoners make of the decision . I don� t know, you know . If you need them, you need them. Better safe than sorry i them, you need them.

Mandating masks isn� t straightforward. There are questions about how easily it can be enforced, and some unions are concerned it could cause disputes between staff and passengers. The mayor of london says he thinks it could make people feel more confident using Public Transport, but other operators are not so sure. We we think the trains probably dont need to be tarred with a brush that they are somehow less safe than other indoor settings. We dont think that thats helpful for the long Term Recovery of getting people back onto Public Transport. Scotla Nd Scotland and wales have decided to keep masks in Public Transport. 0ther Mayors around england don� t have the same power over transport as the london mayor. Today, some held a conference pushing for the government to change its mind. Mt; government to change its mind. My Lea Government to change its mind. Ij� i plea to government to change its mind.

As restrictions lift around the uk, once again, the face of the pandemic will look different depending on where you are. Caroline davies, Bbc News. The welsh government has announced that most coronavirus restrictions will be lifted but not until august 7th. Rules around the number of people who can meet up indoors will be eased but not scrapped. Facemasks will still be required in most indoor public places. 0ur Wales Correspondent Hywel Griffiths has This report. After months of delays, This Hockey Team just want to get their skates on. From saturday, their local Ice Rink in cardiff can finally reopen, so no more training on wheels. For parents like sian, it is a relief. While it� s been frustrating seeing other parts of the uk and unlock sooner, she� s glad wales is going slower. Yes, as much as i would love to get my life back on track, i� d rather that everybody was able to survive to get their lives back on track, rather than, you know, being able to do everything socially and finding that people unfortunately lose their life because of that. Facemasks will be one of the biggest differences in shops as well as on Public Transport and in health care, they will remain mandatory in wales. Controls on meeting indoors stay for at least another three weeks. This is not a free for all. In wales, This is not a free for all. In wales, we This is not a free for all. In wales, we will not abandon those simple wales, we will not abandon those simple but effective and successful measures simple but effective and successful measures that have helped to keep us all measures that have helped to keep us at safe~ for the hospitality trade, it� s a Glass Half full. Nothing changes inside pubs and bars until at least august the 7th. Table service and masks stay. 0utdoors, the rules are relaxed. At the horse and jockey, they still feel the fear being left behind. Itjust means that for the next three weeks, our pubs in wales are still going to be quiet, because everyone in wales is going to go over the border and enjoy more freedom. There are clear differences either side of the border, notjust on the rules, but in how the pandemic is progressing. Wales has the lowest Case Rate in the uk and the highest rate of vaccination. So why wait longer than other nations to ease restrictions . One answer is the strain already on the welsh nhs, as it struggles with a 16 month backlog. Emergency admissions are at a record high, so we are facing huge numbers at the front door, but also huge numbers of patients that need their procedures and operations, and what we are not going to be able to handle is another big wave of Hospital Admissions. With covid cases rising, keeping control is as hard as ever. Defence lines against This pandemic are staying for now. Hywel griffith, Bbc News. There is growing concern about the steep rise in covid cases in the North East of england. Eight of england� s top ten hotspots are in the region, and more and more covid patients are needing hospital treatment. The mayor of middlesbrough says the virus is Spreading Like Wildfire, and urged people to be cautious about the new freedoms. 0ur Health Editor Hugh Pym has been talking to staff about their concerns at a hospital in stockton. We are planning for war and praying for peace is probably the best way of describing it. Facing up to the third wave, dr catherine monaghan, who is a respiratory consultant, has worked right through the pandemic. Now she and her colleagues at This hospital on teesside know the bleak reality. They will have to cope with another covid surge. Just absolutely gutted. It� s really hard, i know the whole country wants This to be over, but the reality is that that� s not what� s happening in the hospitals. People are still critically unwell with it, and i almost can� t quite believe that we are back at This stage again. There were six covid patients here a week ago. Since then, that� s nearly quadrupled. Two of those who are seriously ill are in their 30s and haven� t had jabs. The fear is that covid Hospital Admissions will carry on rising and lead to other work being postponed. Were coping, but i would say were just coping. And as things get more serious, i think we will be. It will be more difficult to deal with and we might have to make difficult decisions about what were treating. No one here is denying that the covid numbers are, at the moment, relatively low, but the hospital is extremely busy with other patients, including here in a e. And the worry is about what might happen and the uncertainty in the weeks ahead. There� s been a plea from Community And Health leaders in the region for the public to take extra care with social distancing and get the vaccine if they haven� t had it. Rates are ballooning. This thing is Spreading Like Wildfire across the whole region, and we� re not saying to panic, we� re not saying for people to be terrified. We� re saying to people, be really careful. 0ne local resident, sandra, told us she wasn� T Vaccinated and got covid. Were you planning to have yourjabs . Yes, i am now. I cant go through it again. I was hospitalised for a day, and weve had the Ambulance Service out to me as well cos its all in my chest. Its awful. Back in the hospital, catherine is nervous about next week� s easing of restrictions. I� m worried that people are just going to throw caution to the wind and forget what we� ve been through in the last 16 months. But it� s unpredictable. The message is that the nhs will cope, but the public have to do their bit to ease the inevitable strain. Hugh pym, Bbc News, teesside. The England Footballer Jadon sancho has made his first public comments following the Racist Abuse he received after missing a penalty in the euro 2020 final, saying hate will never win. He said the abuse he and his teammates got was nothing new but as a society, we need to do better. It comes as the Prime Minister said changes will be made to Football Banning orders. Anyone found guilty of racially abusing players online will no longer be allowed at matches. 0ur Deputy Political Editor Vicki Young has This report. It was a heartbreaking defeat, but a Post Match Analysis has focused on our broader issues than england� s abilities on the pitch. 0nline Racist Abuse aimed at the three players who missed penalties has left the conservative party divided over antiracism campaigning, and pressure has forced the government to make a hasty announcement about changing the law.

But the conservative party has been on the back foot on This whole issue, as it struggled to explain whether it supports players taking the knee or not. England manager Gareth Southgate said his team were doing it to highlight racial inequality, and it was nothing to do with the political organisation black lives matter.

Desperate measures after a mother throws her child to safety from a burning building as riots continue in South Africa. Coming up in sportsday on the Bbc News Channel golf� s oldest major is back after two years. We� ll be live from royal st george� s in kent, where the open championship will start early tomorrow morning. The government� s announced plans to end Transport Emissions by the year 2050. It says all new lorries will be zero carbon by 2040. That means they� ll be running on batteries or hydrogen. Petrol and diesel cars will become more efficient within This decade and they� ll be phased out by 2035. The government also announced that new technology will allow domestic flights to be almost emissions free by 2040, and internationalflights by 2050. But some critics say that� s not enough, as our Science And Environment correspondent Victoria Gill reports. Back on the move. As Road Traffic reverts to pre pandemic levels, the government� s emphasis is on keeping things moving. What� s being billed as their greenprint, a plan to reduce Carbon Emissions across the Uk Transport sector, promises to do exactly that, without reducing the number of vehicles on the road or planes in the air. The government� s already said that sales of new cars and vans powered solely by Petrol Or Diesel will be banned from 2030. In This latest plan, every new lorry is to be zero carbon by 2040 all running on batteries or hydrogen. A lot of companies, like myself, are starting to panic a little bit because literally we are in 2021 now, it� s not that far away. I literally don� t know how it� s going to affect us, really. It� s going to be such a massive difference. Everything� s totally going to change. And for us to get up to speed with that, just pressure from finances alone, and how everything is going to work, it isjust all a big unknown. The vast majority of Carbon Emissions from Uk Transport come from vehicles on our roads. And the aim of these Transport Plans is to speed up the transition, to cleaner technology, primarily electric vehicles. But where these plans are much less clear is in the air. While the government wants aviation to reduce its emissions, it� s also reassuring us that everyone can continue to fly. Ministers say new technology will allow domestic flights to be emissions free by 2040, and international flights to be zero carbon by the middle of the century. But it� s a policy that� s been ridiculed by environmentalists, who say it puts far too much faith in innovation. Bringing down Carbon Emissions as quickly as the planet needs, experts say, it will simply mean that some of us have to fly a lot less. The brits are responsible for more flying per capita than anywhere else in the world. And only 15 , one in five of us, are responsible for three quarters of the flights that are done. It� s hugely uneven. It� s not about us all flying and being able to fly. We have to rein in those really frequent flyers. Electric and Hydrogen Aircraft are already operating, but on a minuscule scale. So, in the race to drive down emissions, we may need to rethink the way we move around. Victoria gill, Bbc News. More than 3,500 people died during the troubles in Northern Ireland during three decades of sectarian conflict. Now the government is proposing to end all prosecutions for both british soldiers and former paramilitaries. But relatives of those who died say they� ve waited Decades Forjustice and have vowed to challenge the government� s plans in the courts. Here� s our Ireland Correspondent emma vardy. A bitter sense of injustice over Northern Ireland� s past still haunts many families today. The vast majority of victims were killed by paramilitaries, and around 10 by british armed forces. There are hundreds of investigations into decades old cases still taking place. But now the government� s announced it will bring forward legislation to ban all prosecutions in cases up to the Peace Deal in 1998. We know that the prospect of criminal prosecutions will be difficult for some to accept, and This is not a position we take lightly. But we� ve come to view that This is the best and only way to facilitate an effective Information Retrieval and provisioning process. The plans would apply to former british soldiers as well as paramilitaries, and would move towards a system in which families could get information about those who were killed. But it is opposed by Political Parties on all sides in Northern Ireland. According to one campaigner, whose brother was killed by loyalist paramilitaries, an amnesty was unthinkable. What the uk is doing today, borisjohnson� s government is doing, is showing the example of what they think, you know, of murderers, which is absolutely shocking, because you can� t imagine in ten years� time, then turning around and saying about thejuly bombings in london or the Manchester Bombing that anybody has to do with that, would they draw a line under it . It wouldn� t happen. It would also mean an end to inquest and civil actions relating to the troubles. The government believes its plans would help the process of reconciliation in Northern Ireland. But here, the past is still so vividly present, it would require a huge shift in many people� S Mindsets to accept. We have seen with the collapse of recent trials that trying to get admissible evidence to follow a resolution through the courts just isnt working, so the statute of limitations, to have an open fact finding process, i think, is to be welcomed. The irish government has insisted that Ending Prosecutions of veterans and others is not a done deal, but with the british government� s large majority at westminster, it may mean a major Step Change for Northern Ireland� s Peace Process that will be difficult to reverse. Emma vardy, Bbc News. More than 70 people have now died after a week of unrest in South Africa sparked by the jailing of former president jacob zuma. Shops and warehouses have been looted and set On Fire, with the worst violence in years centred on durban and johanneburg.

Protesters took to the streets demanding the former president � s immediate release from prison. But what started as a political statement has now been taken over by what the Secret Service described as opportunism and criminality. Even the Army And Police could not initially control the situation. Here in durban, firefighters lined the streets to start clearing up.

Leaving many wondering how South Africa� s fragile economy will ever recover. Team gb is on its way to tokyo for the start of the Olympic Games next week. One of great britain� s best chances of gold lies with Horse Rider Laura collett who� s making her debut with the eventing team. A terrible accident eight years ago that left her in a coma could have halted her Gold Medal dreams. But Stubborness And Determination got her back on her horse as she has been telling our Sports Correspondent Laura scott. Achieving harmony with half a tonne of horse isn� t easy. Laura collett makes it look effortless. But This has taken years of building trust. Now, on a horse called london 52, she is taking on tokyo 2020. It means everything, really. It� s obviously a Childhood Dream when you� re growing up. You know, everyone you speak to, no matter whether they� re into horses or not into horses, you say the word 0lympics and everyone knows what it is. You know, it� s the pinnacle of everything, really. Equestrian sport is inherently dangerous. Collett knows that well. This time eight years ago she was in a coma with horrific injuries after a fall in which her horse somersaulted. But it didn� t stop her. All i wanted to do was get back on. And a lot of people questioned whether i would, and whether i had the mentality to want to get back on a horse after such a bad accident. But all of Thatjust Kind of made me want to prove everyone wrong as quickly as possible. So, i guess that� s why i� m a bit stubborn. Two years later, she experienced the trauma of a different kind. She� d been entrusted with teaching the legendary Racehorse Kauto Star to do dressage, but he was put down after a freak accident. A malicious backlash followed. That was, i� d say, the hardest thing i� ve ever had to deal with in my life, really. It was really hard to receive, you know, the Death Threats and the abuse that i did.
