The government is facing growing criticism of its decision to include the balearic and Canary Islands in its advice to avoid all but essential travel to spain. Travel Companies Say theyre deeply disappointed by the announcement, because the islands have not been affected by the surge in cases of coronavirus seen in parts of the mainland. We can get more now from keith doyle, who is live at gatwick for us. So many peoples plans are having to change. Morning, keith, whats the latest . Good morning. This is usually peak Holiday Season for britons travelling to spain, 18 million took spanish holidays last year. Of course things are very different this year. This morning at Gatwick Airport there are plenty of passengers arriving to go off on holidays, many of them going off to spain. So clearly they have decided that they are going to carry on with their holidays. But with the new government advice and quarantine, it means many spanish holidays have been curtailed or cancelled. Britains decision to extend its advice against non essential travel to all of spain dominated the spanish news bulletins. The official advice from the British Government now includes the balearic and ca nary islands. Anyone returning to the uk from anywhere within spain will have to self quarantine for 14 days. Thousands of britons have booked to go on or are already on spanish beaches. But the requirement to self isolate when they return has caused anxiety and confusion. The poulson family should have been unpacking their suitcases in spain, but they cancelled their holiday as they couldnt take more time off work. Some people might think, well, were going to go, damn it all. Well come back and have another two weeks off work. but me and the wife just couldnt do that to our employers. The spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, said britains decision to impose a two week quarantine on everyone arriving from spain was unjust, and that the popular tourist islands where coronavirus cases are low should be exempt from the uk quarantine. Translation take the case of the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, the regions of valencia and andalucia, which i insist have a cumulative instance of the virus inferior to that registered right now in the united kingdom. It will be safer to be in those destinations than in the united kingdom. Mr sanchez said he was hoping to convince the British Government to rethink its strategy. Thats too late forjet2. Com passengers, as the airline has suspended flights to the canaries and the balearics, as well as mainland spain this morning until august 16. It has also suspended flights to faro in portugal. Flights home to the uk will operate today. It says it has taken the decision because of the governments updated advice. The Spanish Government is hoping air bridges allowing quarantine free travel between the uk and Spanish Islands can be set up. Discussions on that are taking place. Those discussions wont have jet2. Com passengers due to fly to spain today. Seeing those slides will not be operating. Anyone in spain today and due to fly back with jet2. Com, those flights will operate. The airline says it will give more information on what is going to happen over the next few days later today. Clearly, a lot of uncertainty there. 2e are ready cancelled holidays, other airlines are operating, but this is a fast moving and changing situation. So anyone who is due to take any place in the near future should really contact the airline and keep an eye on those websites. On refunds and insurance, because the official government advice is against all but essential travel, refunds and re bookings should be available. But a word of warning, to anyone who chooses to trouble against that government advice, any insurance policy may not be valid . So clearly there is a lot of uncertainty. This is not really going to be the relaxing spanish holiday and he had hoped for. Keith, thank you very much indeed. We will have more of course, from you, later as well. Our Political Correspondent chris mason joins us now chris, morning. The government are having to juggle looking their Decision Making and the reaction of british holiday makers wanting to get away. Yeah, thats exactly it. Good morning to you. Number 10 making the case and emphasising no Travellers Rest three in a pandemic. The waiter is working, a couple of organisations, Public Health england and the joint organisations, Public Health england and thejoint biosecurity centre, it is theirjob to pour over the data that comes in every day to try and work out where there might be spiked developing, where might be risky. Pass on that data to ministers who have to make a decision, and that is what happened on saturday, as far as spain is concerned. But a really tricky one, this, ministers, because on the one hand they want to be seen to be providing some sense of optimism, some sense we be heading slowly back towards normality, and yes of course the risk is still there. They know that this is crippling for an industry, the travel industry that has had a particularly tough time in recent months, and the whole point of going on holidays is to try and leave things behind, leave the stresses of home behind and not have to worry. And of course with this hanging over anyone contemplating foreign travel, it removes some of that sense of being able to escape and being able to forget what is going on at home. Lots of conversations are continuing here, down, at westminster, about how things may change. We saw as far as the others were concerned last night, there are conversations going on about quarantine. Could that potentially be restricted, be limited a little bit . No announcement yet, but as with all of this, there is never going to be an end point. There will always be the prospect another thing will change soon. Exactly. Chris, thank you for the moment. And we will be putting some of those questions and queries to the Government Housing minister, simon clarke, who will be here at 7 30am this morning. And in related news. Mps have criticised the way the Foreign Office handled the repatriation of more than a million britons at the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

Heres our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. When knockdown began in march, some 1. 3 million britons were travelling the world. The government advise them to return in a massive battery asian. But for a lot of people, it wasnt easy. Many countries shut their airports, close their borders and band internal travel. The Foreign Affairs minister said many fco staff went above and beyond to help people get home in extremely difficult circumstances. But the mp said too many uk citizens were not provided with the support that they should reasonably expect to receive from the Foreign Office. The mps said communications were poor, with many britons unable to access information and others not treated with empathy or compassion. They urged the Foreign Office to improve its communication methods and its contingency plans. The Committee Chairman said there were clear failings in the Foreign Office response. The answer phones were not able to be fixed in embassies and could not be done remotely. So they we re could not be done remotely. So they were giving out mistaken messages, sometimes we found social media was not being used appropriately, and we could have seen many more people informed much more accurately, earlier. So we will be giving a very, very close eye on how the Foreign Office handles this latest round of emergencies in spain. The Foreign Office spokesman said it had taken Foreign Office spokesman said it had ta ken unprecedented steps Foreign Office spokesman said it had taken unprecedented steps to help people and it had not been realistic to charter more flights.

Shall we have a quick look at the inside pages . You go first. Chocolate drops. I love the way you went straight for those. Tesla are credited with revolutionising the world of electric cars. One of their designers has actually turned his attention to the perfect shape for a chocolate chip, because the classic teardrop shape has caused chefs issues for decades, apparently. What, making it . It doesnt melt properly. So they have been trying to redesign the chocolate chip to an effective shape that melts better. And this is what he has come up with. Have a look at this. Sort of like a flattened diamond. What they are saying is what you do with this is that. I will get this bit. It looks like a flattened diamond with a faceted pyramid shape and two thin edges tapering to ends. It melts more quickly on the palate so when you put a dandelion ship on your tongue, the chiselled edges warm to melt nearly instantly chip. That is the perfect shape for a chocolate chip, and thank you to remy who has come up with that. This is from the inside of the mail, and it is about whether people are going back to work.
