Arrest 11 people. And im Sarah Mulkerrins in tokyo, on day 13 of the olympics, where jamacias Hansle Parchment has won the mens 110 metres hurdles, to shock favourite Grant Holloway. Agricultural testified having a more harmful effect on the bees than previously thought. Hello and welcome to the programme. Fully vaccinated travellers returning to england, Northern Ireland or scotland from france will no longer need to quarantine from sunday. The change is part of a series of adjustments to the Traffic Light System for International Travel, and brings france into line with other Amber List countries. India and the United Arab Emirates are among the destinations that have been moved from red to amber, while seven more countries, including germany and norway, have been added to the green list. Heres our transport correspondent, caroline davies. A near empty swimming pool, few tents pitched and no one propping up the bar. This would normally be the busiest time of year at this campsite in western france, but at the moment, theyre half empty. Hopefully therell be a flurry of last minute campers. Were hoping so, especially in september with the older couples who normally come who dont have families. I think its too late for families to come because they will have booked elsewhere in the uk. Across the channel, these british Holiday Makers are staying home. With the kids and too late in summer, weve already had to change my holiday. I work for the nhs, so ive had to change my holiday that way. I couldnt quarantine when i get back, so, yeah, This Is It for us this year. Its too risky to commit to an overseas holiday right now in my opinion. Its too much of an issue, effort to get tested. Ijust feel a bit safer in my own country, quite frankly, at the moment. Even though they make those changes, they can make the changes again. There are new additions to the green list, including germany, but of the seven countries added, only two will allow in nonvaccinated tourists without quarantine. Spain is still amber, but the government is advising passengers to have the more expensive Pcr Test rather than the cheaper lateral Flow Test before they depart for the uk. What we do want to do isjust be able to work with the clinicians, with the experts in spain in order to just keep a very close eye on this Beta Variant that we already know so much more about now, and Pcr Tests enable us to do that. Labour have argued the government are still overcomplicating travel. Having this confusion, having these Changes Country by country almost on a weekly basis now doesnt help the industry, it doesnt help passengers and it doesnt help instill confidence in the government. Some countries are going from red to amber, including the uae. It means neil, who lives in dubai, will be able to see his one year old grandson for the first time in a year. Despite the anger i feel towards the government, i can now put that behind me and we can now look forward and we can travel, so thats really good. And we can almost get our lives back to a form of normality of being able to see our friends and family. Country by country, more of the world is opening up to uk travellers, but well into summer and after months of uncertainty, the question is how many will want to make the trip . Caroline davies, Bbc News. How has the Travel Industry responded . We will be asking that to the Business Community in 20 minutes time. Lets get some of the days other news the biden administration is considering making it mandatory for all foreign visitors to the United States to be vaccinated against covid i9. The country closed its borders to most International Travellers during the pandemic. A wildfire that has raged for more than a week has now reached a thermal Power Station on turkeys aegean coast. The Coal Fired Facility was already evacuated and flammable and explosive materials were removed in advance of the flames. A sprinter from belarus, who defied her countrys attempt to send her home from the olympics, has arrived in poland. Krystina timanovskaya has been granted a humanitarian visa. Her Husband Willjoin Herfrom ukraine, where the president has stepped up security for Bela Rusian exiles. Police in texas say a Truck Carrying suspected illegal migrants has crashed, killing at least ten people. Local media reported that the crash took place when the van lost control on a highway in brooks county, about 150 kilometres from the us border with mexico. The driver was amongst those killed. The mexican government is suing major us gun companies, accusing them of failing to stop the illegal flow of weapons across the border. Thousands of murders in mexico have been linked to the trafficking of arms. The un says its deeply concerned about the safety of tens of thousands of civilians in the afghan city of Lashkar Gah, the capital of helmand province. Taliban militants and government forces are waging an intense battle for control of the city. A Un Spokesman said there were reports of increased civilian casualties, and of homes and hospitals being destroyed. Afghan and us airstrikes on taliban positions continued throughout wednesday. Mark lobel reports. Several provincial capitals under taliban attack at least two reportedly breached, and security is forcing many afghan residents from their homes. We see a lot of schools are being destroyed, a lot of water plants, hospitals which are essential. We see that access to Care And Healthcare is extremely difficult. Displaced in kandahar, these families were separated from Loved Ones in the chaos. Kabul came under attack on tuesday night, first a Car Bomb targeting the defence minister, then deadly attackers roamed the streets. But these protesters say the taliban Arent Welcome in the capital. 0ur Message was more to our troops, to stand in solidarity with our soldiers who are fighting the war, not just for afghanistan but for the entire world, against terrorism. In step with the protesters, the afghan president branded the taliban hypocrites for attacking what he called real muslims. He pledged to rapidly expand the number of afghan Special Forces fighting them. Translation there is no better opportunity to end i the 15 Year War and bloodshed as foreigners have left the country. After all, it is only the efforts and swords of the afghans that keep this country together but despite the armys efforts, the taliban has already taken swathes of the country in the past few weeks. The question is how easily they may be able to capture urban areas. There is a much wider middle class established, the cities are much bigger and stronger within the political economy of the country, and women have really come into their own, but how much of these kinds of social and economic bulwarks will stop a kind of afghan and economic bulwarks will stop a kind of traditional afghan i mean Taliban Islamist Takeover and a reversion to the kind of maoist policies that they adopted last time round is hard to tell. This is a bad time. It will take more than People Power to keep the taliban off the main streets, with many weeks of the countrys seasonal Fighting Season yet to come. Mark lobel, Bbc News.

Malta is being urged to drop a case against three young migrants, accused of terrorism. The teenagers, two of whom were children at the time, are alleged to have hijacked a ship and forced it to take them to europe. They were rescued in the mediterranean in 2019 along with more than 100 others, as they fled libya. Both the united Nations Office for Human Rights and the archbishop of malta are asking authorities to drop the case, calling the charges disproportionate. In a bbc exclusive, our europe correspondent, Jean Mackenzie has been to meet the boys, who face life in prison. This is the first time they have spoken publicly. One is still a minor, so were using the name given to him by court. These three young men risk their lives to make it to europe. In return, they have lost their freedom. I cannot be a terrorist, i will never be a terrorist. They have been accused by maltese authorities of hijacking the ship that rescued them and 100 others at sea as they attempted the treacherous crossing from libya.

Whenever i think they are calling me a terrorist. What has happened on board has never been proven. Authorities are still collecting evidence. And it could be years before they face a trial. So far, we havent seen evidence of terrorism, and we question the ability of the prosecution to bring such evidence. What those people are fleeing from as a hellhole. From our clients� perspective, it was the natural thing to do to save themselves and save the other people on board. Malta is on the frontline of migration across the mediterranean, and Human Rights organisations say that in trying to stop boats from arriving, it acted disproportionately.
