A disastrous final for britain sees them miss a medal in tokyo. Good evening. Theres to be a significant easing of the rules for travellers entering england, wales and scotland in a change thats being seen as a much needed boost for business and the Travel Industry. The new rules apply to people whove been fully vaccinated. Theyll no longer need to isolate when coming from a country on the Amber List except france, which is currently amber plus. People will need to have been vaccinated in either the united states or the european union. Currently, only people who received theirjabs in the uk can avoid quarantine when arriving from Amber List countries. But travellers will still need a test before setting off for the uk and another test two days after arrival. Northern ireland has yet to decide whether to adopt the same approach. Englands Traffic Light System for countries around the world, including france, will be reviewed at The End of next week. Our Transport Correspondent Caroline Davies has the details. Few come for the weather. The uks international tourists have mostly kept away with quarantine rules, but perhaps after months there is some sunshine behind the clouds. Here we are in the middle of westminster. Kate has led tours for most of a0 years, but her last was at The End of february 2020. Ive had no work at all in common with pretty much all my colleagues, especially the language guides from europe. It has just collapsed. It is certainly a step in the right direction. I doubt whether it will make much difference now for this year. Pre pandemic 40 of the gorings guests where american, but City Hotels arent the only businesses dependent on international visitors. Why is it necessary to have international travel, notjust do things online . The truth is that in business, as in life, the personal connections that we make around the meetings that we have are absolutely crucial at building goodwill, understanding, empathy, and all of these things are part of what makes businesses successful. There was news for cruising as well. Ships will be able to set sail for international trips for the first time since march 2020. The policy will come in On Monday for england, scotland and wales. Northern ireland are yet to say whether they will follow too. Labour has said it is worried there isnt a robust system in place to be able to verify vaccine passports. Weve got real concerns because there doesnt seem to be a system in place yet for an international vaccine passport, which the government said they were going to bring forward. Each individual us state does things differently, they dont have a national Health Service that has a Vaccine Programme like we do with the certifications. If the hope was to help tourism and trade, with much of europe already open to international travel, has the government acted too late . Other countries have had to catch up with the speed of our own Vaccination Programme to make this a meaningful approach. Part of it is just waiting for other countries and partly we wanted to check that our own approach to allowing people who have been vaccinated in the uk to go away and then come back again, that that was all working. We will always put the security of the country first. But for many separated from family and friends, Todays News makes a big difference. Janet lives in switzerland but hasnt been back to the uk for 18 months. Now its like, yeah, we can all go and see the people that we have only been talking to on zoom. We are so close here in zurich, but its so hard when you know you have to quarantine. The government say they are still looking at what happens with those jabbed in the rest of the world. The Travel Industry hope Todays Announcement is Clearing A Path forward. Caroline davies, Bbc News. Live to westminster and our political correspondent Alex Forsyth.

There is still a lot of caution behindthescenes . ~ ,. , behindthescenes . Absolutely. The government behindthescenes . Absolutely. The government has behindthescenes . Absolutely. The government has been behindthescenes . Absolutely. The government has been under behindthescenes . Absolutely. The i government has been under enormous pressure from the Travel And Tourism industry for some time, so there is perhaps no surprise that the announcement has been warmly welcomed in that sector. But there are still restrictions on people coming from france and while people in the us that have had both vaccinations can now travel to great britain without having to quarantine, it does not work the other way, despite the government because my efforts to get some sort of reciprocal arrangements in place. The us borders remain largely close to uk travellers. Labour is saying the governments approach to borders has been confused from the start. The welsh government has accepted this relaxation, but somewhat reluctantly, saying it comes with risks. But the government is pressing on and they are saying it is safe and proportionate because there is a growing sense in government that the success of the Vaccine Programme must bring some benefits, namely the reopening of the economy. This sense from government we have heard before is if not now, when . For many people that will cause concern and you will repeatedly hear from ministers the word caution. Quietly, though, there is a growing confidence about where things are headed, along with a great deal of hope. Mex. Things are headed, along with a great deal of hope.

The International Olympic Committee says it has huge Respect And Support for her decision, as our Sports Correspondent Laura Scott reports. Commentator the smile says it all. She loves to perform. Simone biles rewrote the record books in rio. Shes been the face of a generation of gymnasts. One last tumble to become olympic champion. At times, her phenomenal achievements have given her an aura of invincibility. But this week, shes reminded a world that sees her as superhuman that she is human. And what a champion i say put your Mental Health first, because if you dont, youre not going to enjoy your sport and youre not going to succeed as much as you want to. So its ok sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself because it shows how strong of a Competitor And Person that you really are. The 30 time olympic and World Championship medallist. Biles is already the most successful us gymnast of all time, success in tokyo seemed a given. But from the off, she looked off.

Later, she spoke of struggling with the twisties, a Gymnastics Term for a Mental Block that can make an athlete feel lost in the air a frightening experience in an already dangerous sport.

Biles wont defend her all around Title Tomorrow and her participation in next weeks individualfinals is in doubt, too. Usa gymnastics said it wholeheartedly supports her decision and applauds her bravery, saying her courage shows why shes a Role Model for so many. You need to put yourself first, especially with Mental Health that always comes first, over everything, and i feel like thats inspired a lot more, a lot more. A younger generation coming up. In 2018, biles came forward as a survivor of Sexual Abuse by the jailed former Usa Gymnastics doctor larry nassar. It made her a Role Model for more than her sporting accolades.

Biles arrived in tokyo hoping for watershed moments using the power of her body. Instead, she is creating them with the power of her voice. Laura scott, Bbc News. All week, the giant companies of the Tech World have been reporting their staggering level of profits. Alphabet googles Parent Company made in the three Months Tojune what it used to take an entire year to achieve. Its the kind of growth hardly ever seen before for any company, with the effect of the pandemic on Work And Lifestyle adding to this surging success. Our Media Editor Amol rajan is here to look in more detail at the figures. The phrase Big Tech is now common parlance used to describe the five american companies whose wealth is getting harder to fathom. Butjust how big are they . In the three Months Tojune, microsoft posted profits of nearly £12 billion. Thats the highest quarterly growth since it was founded in 1975. In the same period, alphabet, the owners of google and youtube, reported profits of {13. 3 billion. Meanwhile, apple reported profits over £15. 5 billion. Thats the best third quarter in its 45 year history. That means these three companies alone have made a combined total of nearly £41 billion in profit injust three months. Thats not far off how much the uk spent on defence for the whole of last year. These companies now live in a different financial realm. Take a five year view. Heres how the Big Five apple, microsoft, amazon, Alphabet And Facebook have grown, valued today in the trillions. For most of the world, the pandemic has meant hardship and reccession, but for these superstar firms, its been a case of up, up and away. They are arguably the greatest innovators in history, using remarkable engineering to deliver products and services for which there is insatiable demand. But their economic power raises profound questions for the rest of us. Is enough of their wealth making its way to the workforce . Are they paying the right amount of the right taxes in the right places . And how is it that, in just a few years, the biggest asymmetry of wealth, Power And Knowledge in modern history has emerged with such little resistance . The truth is, were addicted to Tech And Cant imagine our world without it. Except really, its their world now. Huw. Our Media Editor Amol rajan, going through recent results from the Big Tech companies. A permanent monument in tribute to fallen Police Officers and staff has been unveiled at the national memorial arboretum. The Prince Of Wales and the Prime Minister were among those attending a Dedication Ceremony at the site in staffordshire. The open Doorway Structure represents a threshold the threshold to a different space and to the dangerous places where police go. 100 pledges have been unveiled by ministers to tackle the issues that Limit Opportunities in life for disabled people. Its part of the national Disability Strategy and it aims to increase the number of accessible homes and to adapt older properties. Therell be an audit of Mainline Railway Stations to ensure that theres proper access. And a programme will be launched to make it easierfor disabled people to change jobs. The government says the £1. 6 Biliion Strategy as a once in a generation transformative plan, but charities and campaigners say it doesnt answer the need. Our disability Affairs Correspondent Nikki Fox has this report. This Cycling Club in South Manchester is open to people of all abilities. David can do as much as ten miles a day around this track, but when it comes to doing the things he loves, he struggles. Public buildings with big steps and you cant find a ramp, so cant do anything, cant be like normal people. Despite her best efforts, sue, who runs the club, hasnt even been able to sort an accessible bathroom. Ive got People Peeing in a bottle round the corner because they cant get into the toilet here. And after 18 years, i am still banging on about having proper facilities. Todays strategy doesnt shy away from highlighting The Many barriers millions face every day. It plans to increase the number of accessible homes, as well as supporting disabled people with employment opportunities. Improving Health Outcomes is another key area. Learning disabilities and Autism Training will be offered to all health and social care staff. But there are plans for more consultations and audits, including one around public transport and campaigners are frustrated by the promise of more reports and less action. I am really disappointed. This is a missed opportunity. The Prime Minister promised it would be the most ambitious and transformative Disability Plan in a generation. Unfortunately, i think an awful lot of disabled people, 14 Million of them, are going to see it as a broken promise. For disabled children like florence, the strategy has come too late. Herfamily had to spend £15,000 fighting to get the right school for their 11 year old daughter, who is autistic, epileptic and has global development delay. It felt so unfair. It felt so inappropriate to have to fight for something that should be a provision for all kids with Special Educational Needs. The government has admitted the system is failing disabled children like florence and its spending £300 million to improve Special Educational Needs provision. We have a ministerial champion in every department. So the Department For Education will be held to account they will be part of that annual report and they will have that ministerial champion who is making sure that policies across that department, and delivery, are actually happening. Any plans to improve disabled peoples lives will of course be welcomed, but charities believe the strategy falls short, as it doesnt deliver immediate, drastic action so that millions of disabled people are no longer held back by barriers in society.

Few of us can resist the sight of men digging a hole. Its said wales roofed the world in the 19th Century and in its heyday, the industry here employed close to 20,000. Explosion so why does Welsh Slate have such a good name worldwide . Firstly, its the best slate in the world. Its one of the more denser slates, its been proven on roofs for well over 200, 300 years. Forformer quarryman fred hughes, this area has always been special. This place could have gone to rack and ruin, forgotten about. You know, more decay than there already is. So maybe this is a pathway to get it back up on its feet, have the recognition. Its just fantastic news. Just as the Taj Mahal has for india and the pyramids for egypt, the hope is that the recognition for the Slate Mines here in North Wales will also bring an economic boost to the area. For the locals in blaenau ffestiniog, its tourism, a key employer here, that will hopefully benefit from Todays Announcement. In order to get the tourists to stay in blaenau, we need the investment putting into blaenau to get businesses that help businesses get up and running.
