But will the cap to be there for the opener . Good Evening And Welcome to the Bbc News at six. The government has announced major changes to the Covid Rules for travellers leaving and entering england. Its scrapping the traffic light system, which classified countries as red, amber or green, and instead from next month, all countries will be designated either red or open, with people returning from red countries, still having to quarantine in designated hotels. The Number And Type of Covid Tests is changing for travellers too. Youll no longer have to take a lateral Flow Test before setting off, and wont need an expensive Pcr Test when you get back, if fully vaccinated. You will however have to take a lateral Flow Test within two days of arrival. And people whove been given vaccines approved for use in the uk will now have those innoculations recognised, regardless of where in the world they were originallyjabbed. Our Transport CorrespondentCaroline Davies has more. Travel has meant testing. Across the country, centres like these popped up to swab passengers, but things are about to change. Throughout the summer, the Travel Industry and the government have disagreed about the use of these, Pcr Tests, for all travellers when they arrive in the uk. The government has always argued this is necessary to be able to identify variants of concern, but the Travel Industry say it is a barrier and too expensive. Before the End Ofe october, if you srr october, if you are double jab, Pcr Tests are going to be replaced by the cheaper lateral Flow Tests. If you test positive you will need to have a Pcr Test and isolate at home. Its a relief for hotels who have struggled as families have stayed away because of the added cost. The Uk Market has dropped 50 70 depending on the travelling month, especially forfamilies hard hit by the restrictions implemented and the traffic light system, which obviously every three weeks is sort of like, yeah, surprise, what is going to happen. So we definitely believe this change will boost sales massively. Its not the only change. From the lith of october, fully vaccinated travellers will also not need to take a pre lateral Flow Tester before they travel. If you are not double jab its a very different story. You will need to take a test before you travel and self isolate at home for ten days after every international trip, as well as paying for Pcr Tests. For industry, these Changes Cant come soon enough. Very pleased with the announcement, just what i wanted to hear. I think the government has been listening to the industry. We have been interacting with them for some time. But not etch agrees. They have given so much information but not etch agrees. They have given so much information and but not etch agrees. They have given so much information and we but not etch agrees. They have given so much information and we know i but not etch agrees. They have given i so much information and we know when delta was introduced into the uk, that the virus was imported over 500 times and we wouldnt have that information without the screening. After months of saying pc are tests are needed, why has the government changed its mind. The are needed, why has the government changed its mind. Changed its mind.

Notjust because of changing to testing, there are some new countries coming off the Red List like turkey. A big element of what theyre looking for is making sure theyre looking for is making sure the Pcr Tests change to lateral Flow Tests. The industry is keen that happens before the half Term Holiday to catch that half Term Holiday. So things will be possible to sell for that period. It might be a bit later than the industry hoped, but in general it is better late than never for them. ,. General it is better late than never for them. , i. And you can get more details on all the changes for travellers on our website, at bbc. Co. Uk news. The welsh government has announced tighter Covid Rules for people attending mass events. Youll need proof of vaccinations, or a negative covid test. The new controls come into force next month for venues like clubs, and at sporting events. Heres our wales correspondent, hywel griffith. Thou shalt not pass, unless youve got one of these not, the welsh government insists, a Vaccine Passport but proof of either being jabbed or a negative lateral Flow Test. Mandatory covid passes havent been welcomed by the hospitality industry. For this night club, they say theyll comply if it means avoiding the lockdown. Its not ideal, but these are not ideal times. People come to the club. We already check their id, we search everyone. Having them show a covid pass, its not a big problem. You will go with it just to stay open. Football and Rugby Stadiums will go with passes too, but the whole system depends on people taking tests and putting in their own results. The First Minister warns giving fake information could become an offence. Who on earth would check someones lateral Flow Test result . People do it now. And so it is possible for the system to be properly policed. But that isnt the purpose of the system. The purpose of the system is to have to keep wales safe and keep wales open, and the vast majority of people in wales want to play their part in doing that. Safeguards like having to wear masks and shops and telling people to work from home were kept in place in wales over the summer, but they failed to stop the spread of the virus. Emergency wards across wales say they are already stretched. Some Intensive Care patients are being moved between hospitals. Here in cardiff, they say most of their new covid patients are unvaccinated. I mean, it makes me angry and it makes me upset. And that is because im seeing these people at their worst and they are often in tears or the family are in tears, going, iwish id done it or, you know, is it too late for me now to have it . Unfortunately by the time you are that sick with covid, it is too late. Whether making passes mandatory will prove to be a remedy may take months to discern. The new rules come into force on october the 11th. The governments latest Coronavirus Figures show there were 32,651 new infections recorded in the latest 24 hour period. That means there was an average of 29,106 new cases per day, in the last week. There were 8,068 people in hospital as of yesterday, across the uk. 178 Deaths were reported in the latest 2a hour period, thats of people who died within 28 days of a positive covid i9 test. The average number of deaths per day in the last week, is now 142. 89. 3 of people aged 16 and over, have had theirfirstjab. 81. 5 are now double vaccinated. The new housing secretary, Michael Gove, has decided to pause controversial Government Planning reforms. Its understood he wants talks with conservative mps whove voiced their concerns about the proposals. Our political correspondent, Nick Eardley is at westminster. So this plan is being paused, but government has committed itself to the Mass Building of new homes . Yes, borisjohnson yes, Boris Johnson has yes, borisjohnson has promised to build 300,000 homes in england every year by 2025. And to do that he was preparing to introduce some pretty radical reforms of Planning Laws in england. They would have given developers much more freedom to build homes in allocated parts of the country. But they were deeply unpopular with some residents who could have been affected and with many tory mps as well. They were worried that it could undermine local decision making, perhapsjust local decision making, perhaps just as significantly local decision making, perhapsjust as significantly they were worried it could undermine their electoral fortunes. When robertjenrick was sacked as housing secretary, there were questions as to whether there could be a rethink. It does seem that the new housing secretary, Michael Gove, is prepared to listen to the arguments against the governments current plans. He has paused the reform as they are at the moment. He wants talks with tory mps about he is said to be in listening mode. This doesnt mean the plans will be ripped up. It may be Michael Gove decides he wants to keep them. But the conservative mps who were deeply uneasy about the governments plans are happen Tonight And Hope this could lead to radical rethink. Labour say the plans should be ditched. An Nhs Trust has won its appeal to overturn a Landmark Ruling on the use of puberty blocking drugs for children. Last year, the High Court said it was highly unlikely that a child aged 13 or under would be able to consent to hormone blocking treatment, and it was very doubtful that a child of 1a or 15 would understand the long term consequences. But now the Court Of Appeal has ruled in favour of the Tavistock And Portman nhs foundation trust, which runs the uks only Gender Identity Development service for children, with the judges saying its up to doctors to exercise theirjudgment, on patient consent. Heres alison holt. Keira Bells Experience of how teenage decisions shaped her Life Led to the original Court Case. At 16, desperate to transition from female to male, she was prescribed drugs to delay puberty, male hormones. Now in her 20s, she believes it was a mistake. Last year she told me she should have been challenged more. The discussions were very brief and there was no real investigation into why i had Gender Dysphoric feelings and how id got to that stage. I spoke briefly of depression and anxiety, but again it was kind of assumed by everyone that transitioning would alleviate that. She was treated here at the tavistock, the uks only Gender Identity Clinic for children. Last december, the High Court ruled that someone under 16 could not fully understand the implications of taking puberty blockers, so the nhs stopped prescribing them to younger people. Overturning that, Todays Court of Appeal Judgment found the High Court was not in a position to give guidance that generalised about the capability of persons of different ages, concluding that it placed patients, parents and clinicians in a difficult position and should not have been given. Were really pleased about this. The tavistock� s chief executive says it means they can once again send young people worried about their Gender Identity for puberty Blockers Treatment after careful checks and discussion. At the heart of that is respecting what young people know about their own minds, their own bodies. And i think thats a really important principle. With all the clinical safeguards you need in cases of this kind, but respecting the autonomy of young people at the same time. Working obviously with their parents and families. Keira Bells Lawyer said they are disappointed by the ruling, but he believes the case has already ensured much more scrutiny of these life altering decisions. The case has been hugely significant in terms of medical treatment for children with gender dysphoria, and not only in this country but around the world. In this country, the nhs has updated its advice on the reversibility of puberty blockers. An extra layer of protection has been put in place for children who are receiving treatment at the tavistock. But these arguments are unlikely to be over. Keira and her legal team say they hope to challenge todays ruling in the supreme court. Alison holt, Bbc News.

Britain has more than 15,000 people leave afghanistan, but our special Correspondent Lucy manning has been speaking to some of those who are still trapped and fearing for their lives under taliban rule.

Im living from place to place. How difficult is the situation for you at the moment . Its very, very difficult for me, financially and from the security perspective, and also mentally.

Do you think the government are doing enough to help people like you who havent been able to get out .

Ajudge in america has ruled that lawyers for Virginia Giuffre, the woman whos accused Prince Andrew of sexual assault, will be able to serve legal papers on his representative in the us.

Our royal correspondent Jonny Dymond is here. Jonny, where are we in this process now . Clive, it has been a week of legal manoeuvring centred around this issue of serving the papers containing the allegations against the prince either into his hands or into the hands of his lawyers. On monday the lawyers went head to head in New York arguing over where there is whether those papers had been properly surfaced on wednesday the High Court here said it would assist lawyers for Virginia Giuffre, the women who made those allegations against the prince, allegations that prince denies, it would assist in serving those papers, and now the judge in New York has said, as you say, the papers can be served on the princes us lawyer, the man who spoke on monday. That means this case will almost certainly now go ahead. That lawyer says that a deal struck by Virginia Giuffre in 2009, with jeffrey struck by Virginia Giuffre in 2009, withjeffrey epstein, one time friend of the prince, convicted paedophile, that that deal would make any Court Case against Prince Andrew null and void.

Emma vardy, Bbc News, derry. Lets take a look at some of the days other top stories. The United Nations says failure to cut green House Gas emissions, is setting the world on a catastrophic path of Global Warming. A new report by the un has found that pledges made to curb emissions, wont actually meet the ambitions of the paris climate Change Agreement signed in 2015, to limit Global Warming to 1. 5 degrees celsius, above pre industrial temperatures. Womens rights campaigners have welcomed a report by the Police Watchdog which calls for violence against women to be given as much priority as countering terrorism. Police leaders say better investment is needed for this to happen. Her Majestys Inspectorate of constabulary has found that three quarters of domestic abuse cases were closed early without the suspect being charged. The leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey, says his party can provide an alternative to the conservatives for people who feel taken for granted by borisjohnsons government. He will tell The Party conference, which gets under way today, that Coronavirus Laws should be scrapped, and hell restate the Partys Opposition to Vaccine Passports. The governments delayed heat and buildings strategy, due to be published later this month, will set out proposals on how to improve Energy Efficiency in our homes. Last year, nearly 21 of the uks Carbon Emissions came mainly from domestic Heating And Cooking with natural gas. Our science correspondent, victoria gill, looks at how you can make your Home Fit for the future. Whether its a flat or a house and whether we own or rent, our homes and how we heat them emit a significant amount of greenHouse Gas. So some are taking the Energy Efficiency matter into their own hands. Bills have gone through the floor. Really . Absolutely. Theyve gone right down. We are going to give you our camera. Can you give us a virtual Guided Tour of your home, please. Ill see what i can find to show you. Thank you so this is the living room. The window is triple glazed. Well continue into the kitchen now. Its an electric kitchen. There isnt any gas in the house. Well carry on along into the bathroom, where i can take a bath using water generated by heat pump, and theyre very good for the climate too. Even with Government Grants to help us reduce our household emissions, these retrofits can be investment. These retrofits can be an investment. From a £20 roll of Loft Insulation to between £6,000 and £18,000 for a brand new heat pump. So in this empty Council House near harrogate, researchers are putting retrofitted Energy Saving measures to the test, comparing how much they cost to how well they work. There doesnt appear to be any major leakage around the window. Ill check under the sink. Weve put in new Double Glazing and new doors, so we did the experiment before the glazing came in, and we did exactly the same experiment afterwards. Right. And so these are the new windows . Yeah. What were they replacing . So these work replacing old Double Glazing, and theyve improved Energy Efficiency in this house by about 5 . Right. That doesnt sound like a lot. If you only had one day, for example, where you were going to do all of the improvements you could possibly imagine, i would suggest that you go into your loft and see what Insulation Youve got installed there. One of the big problems with Loft Insulation is theres stuff on top of it. Have a spring clean, get rid of it. Oh, the junk will squash and stop the insulation from insulating . Thats right, Bin Bags full of clothes or old toys will sit on top of the insulation and make it less useful for us. The second thing that you can do is go around your house and look for different areas where there are leaks going through, so things that we consider drafts. If you can seal up drafts, then you can save energy leaving your home as well.
