Near Blanket Restrictions were imposed 18 months ago at the start of the pandemic heres white House Press Secretaryjen psaki. Well be putting a place strict protocols to prevent the spread from passengers flying internationally. We require adults travelling to the united states be fully vaccinated. Obviously, this is the conclusion of a Policy Process on that particular issue. That is yet to be fully ironed out. There is this requirement that people be fully vaccinated before they come here, but what does that mean . Does the rest Vaccine Count, does the astrazeneca Vaccine Count . Then theres the question of producing evidence of a covid test. Undertaken within three days of travel. What sort of task . Willa lot of days of travel. What sort of task . Will a lot of ambiguity here, and regarding children under the age of 15 whove not been fully vaccinated. Granular detail in the words of the white house, but the sort of detail which affects million of people. Ijust want detail which affects million of people. I just want to ask you about something else. This is coming with the Aukus Deal we talked about. You think this is a way to reapply some bound to that wound . That wound . Certainly interesting that wound . Certainly interesting timing, i that wound . Certainly| interesting timing, we that wound . Certainly interesting timing, we have the british prime Minister Boris Johnson in washington who is due to meet with President Biden at the white house. He was due to press reports for a lifting of these restrictions. Now hes got something to go through with President Biden, but earlier in the day today, it emerged Thatjoe Biden Wasnt seeking a call with his french counterpart. Against the background following the deal between the united states, australia and the uk. Basically harm to the french out. If there is that sort of compensation and the french confirmed there will be such a call, then this is at least something President Biden use to assuage the free nerds of his french counterpart. And theres much more on the easing of the us Travel Restrictions on our website, including a look at how the new rules will be enforced. Just log on to bbc. Com news.

Borisjohnson� s mission, to try to push other countries into line. Everybody always agrees that something must be done. Saying something isnt enough for him. Its only chance that has put the uk in charge of trying to get global agreement this autumn, so Success Or Failure is about political ambition as well as the planet. We have to grow up and take our responsibilities. I think we go through a period of, you know, glorious indifference about the world. Weve been through that. Weve been through our childhood, if you like. Weve now got to realise that this is a problem that requires grip. The official International Machine Urges progress. Our world is challenged like never before. From Climate Change to conflicts, to covid 19. It would be easy to lose hope. But we are not hopeless. Yet, what hope is there, really, when vast countries like china, india huge emitters of Carbon Arent quite so keen . Strangely, this meeting really matters to Downing Street because of the next big international shindig at home the Climate ConferenceIn Glasgow at the beginning of november. The Prime Minister wants all countries, big and small, wealthy and less so, to make more dramatic promises to cut their carbon, and for the richer ones to put their hands in their pockets to help the others go green. Right now, he only puts the chances of that happening in time at six out of ten, so there is a real demand for borisjohnson to create momentum here in manhattan. But whose mind can he change . The outspoken brazilian leader, whos let the Amazon Forest burn. Borisjohnson had vowed to Telljair Bolsonaro to stop whats going on. But when they actually met, it looked rather friendlier than that. The Prime Minister urging the brazilian to get the astrazeneca vaccine. Get the astrazeneca vaccine. That appeared to have fallen on deaf ears. But every country here this week has its own political climate. Every country, its own interests, too. The american president , on his way to New York tonight, will tomorrow reveal more of his own. Laura kuenssberg, Bbc News, New York. Lets take a look at some other stories in the headlines.

Still to come a bit later in the programme well have the latest from canada as they head to the polls for the second time in as many years. But first. Lets bring you some live pictures now from the the Canary Island of La Palma, where officials say a volcanic eruption that started on sunday has destroyed about 100 homes. The eruption has forced 5000 people to move to safety. Its the first time the volcano has erupted in 50 years. Thousands of tremors had hit the area in recent days. The bbc� s danjohnson has this report from the island. Homes that once enjoyed views of this islands impressive volcanic landscape are now being smothered under it. The relentless Downhill Creep of Molten Lava burns its way through anything it touches. The eruption follows a week of tremors, but nobody has seen anyThing Like this on La Palma for half a century. Look, look, its falling, the man says. Another house destroyed. Thats more than 100 now, either burned or buried. Eight metres of lava, he says. Translation right now, the most important Thing L is to guarantee security. These are the strongest forces of nature at work in a spectacular but destructive display, and the only option is to get out of its way. Translation right now, the most important Thing L is to guarantee security. We are still in the eruption phase. Please, lets be extremely careful. So, residents of four villages have been ordered to safety and some tourists have decided to go home. I am worried, i am sorry for all the people who are losing or have already lost their houses. There is no good feeling now on this island and therefore. We want to leave as fast as possible. This is a Disaster Movie in slow motion. The larva keeps crawling towards the sea. Spains Tourism Minister sees an opportunity, a chance to entice tourists back to view the eruption well speak to australian swimmer Bronte Campbell about the impact Climate Change is having on sport. Benjohnson, the fastest man on earth, is flying home to canada in disgrace. All athletes should be clean going into the games. Im just happy that justice was served. It is a simple fact that this morning, these people were in their homes. Tonight, those homes have been burnt down by serbian soldiers and police. All the taliban positions alongj here have been strengthened, presumably in case i the americans invade. Its no use having a Secret Service which cannot preserve its own secrets against the world, and so the british government has no option but to continue this action, even after any adverse judgment in australia. Concorde had crossed the atlantic faster than any plane ever before, breaking the record by six minutes. This is newsday on the bbc. Im Karishma Vaswani in singapore. Our headlines. A sudden change of policy as the united states says it will lift the ban on international Air Travel for fully vaccinated foreign nationals in november. The british Prime Minister, borisjohnson, says hes Increasingly Frustrated that the richest nations continue to deny funding to developing countries to help them adapt to the Climate Change crisis. The un World Food Programme says only 7 percent of afghans have enough to eat. The struggle to live, to eat, to survive did not end when the shooting stopped. At first light, hundreds of building workers looking for a Days Employment gather at a Market Place in the centre of kabul. With their tools and without much hope. Afghanistans economy is closing down. Millions live in poverty in a country that has received huge sums in foreign aid. These Men Rage about the fortunes stolen by a corrupt elite in the last 20 years. Food prices are rocketing. Millions barely feed theirfamilies. Hunger could become the worst of afghanistans many crises. 9 Billion that might help them was frozen by the americans to keep it away from the taliban. In the name of allah, we call on america that they must give the money in the budget that they have directed from afghanistan, they must recognise our new government. Afghanistan. Malnutrition is a chronic problem in afghanistan. Only patients with other severe complications, like three year old mohammed, have a chance of a bed at kabul childrens hospital. But more patients are arriving. The doctors said that was because the World Bank stopped Funding Village Clinics after the taliban victory. Life was never easy in afghanistan. Seven month old mohammed is his mothers fourth living child. Six others died at birth. Like all the other women in the corridor, she wanted to hide her identity. Not a new thing in afghanistan, but under the taliban everyone is more cautious. Taliban fighters are highly visible in kabul. Some here say security is much better now the fighting is over. For many, it is quiet built on fear. Countries that want to help afghans but detest the taliban and all that they stand for are in a bind. For people to earn money, to buy food, to look after theirfamilies, the taliban needs to preside over a viable state. Now, for the americans, the british, nor the other countries that fought the taliban for so many years, that might be just too much, especially if the taliban can then claim another victory. A community high above the city carries the scars of a0 years of war. So do the families who live here. This family is leaving for pakistan. The mother, the only breadwinner, taught male students. The taliban stopped her job and her younger daughters education. They have sold their possessions. Leaving is still hard. Their dreams were always fragile in a state riddled with corruption, which couldnt survive the departure of its foreign backers. Afghanistans newest crisis is about fundamentals of life food, Security And Hope and the Despair And Anger when they have gone. Jeremy bowen, Bbc News, kabul. Just a few hours to go in voting in canadas general election, the second in just two years. It was called by this man prime Ministerjustin Trudeau who says he wants his Liberal Party to be able to govern without a coalition. But hes facing a close fight with erin otoole, head of the centre right conservatives. Its his first campaign as a Party Leader and he has criticised the Way Mr Trudeau handled the pandemic. Our correspondent Samira Hussain is following developments from montreal. Canadas Prime Minister said he called this election because the Pandemic Change to the country and canadians should have a say in what happens to canada going forward. The opposition says that this is actually nothing more than an expensive political ploy by Mr Trudeau to try and get a firmer hold on power and gain a majority in parliament. And the Voting Public . Well, they are just suffering from election fatigue. This is the second time canadians are going to the polls in less than two years. The first was mandated by law, but this election is really aboutjustin trudeau trying to gain this majority. But if you look at the polling, he is now in a statistical tie with his main opposition rival, which means that this political gamble may actually backfire, and he could even lose his seat as Prime Minister. The voting across canadas Time Zones continues for a few hours yet, but samira will be up all night, with the results as they emerge, so do stay with Bbc News for that.

For central and southern parts of the uk this week, its not going to be looking that bad at all. With High Pressure always nearby, itll be dry, quite warm with plenty of sunshine. But well start to see some changes from wednesday onwards across the north of the uk, more especially for scotland, where it will turn windier with some rain at times and it will feel cooler. So, a bit more of an autumnal feel there. High pressure, though, dominates the scene into tuesday, many places starting dry. There will be some Mist And Fog around, some dense patches across East Anglia and the southeast which will tend to dissipate through the day. Bit of Mist And Fog to start the day for scotland and northern ireland, and then Itll Turn cloudier and windier for western scotland, perhaps western northern ireland, with some light and patchy rain here. But eastern scotland, eastern northern ireland, most of england and wales, fine and dry with some sunshine. And again, feeling quite warm, temperatures into the low 20s celsius. Into tuesday night, it starts to turn cloudier, windier and wetter across the northwest of the uk. Further south, closer to High Pressure, winds will be lighter, there will be some clear spells again, one or two chilly spots, but a bit milder further north and west. This is where we start to see the changes, then, around the middle part of the week. Indeed, its on cue during the autumn equinox, with some rain and strong winds pushing in to scotland, northern and western areas, and then this band of rain will move southwards into northern ireland, Southern Scotland later in the day. Behind it, sunshine, blustery showers, gales here. To the south of this rain band, though, for the majority of england and wales, another fine day to come. And quite warm, top temperatures of 22 or 23 degrees. As we move into thursday, another area of low pressure skirts the north of the uk. Thatll bring another swathe of wet and windy weather across scotland, maybe some gales later in the day. A bit more cloud further south, but again, for much of england and wales, the midlands southwards, itll be dry with some lengthy spells of sunshine, top temperatures 20 or 21 degrees. But cooler in the north, ten to 16 degrees here particularly chilly when you factor in the wind. Through friday and then into the weekend, we start to see the winds change direction. Low pressure develops to the west of the uk. That draws up some mild south Westerly Winds across the uk, but well start to see some wet weather pushing into western areas as we reach part two of the weekend. Plenty of sunshine.
