extra support for parts of the country including of the north east of england in the battle against rising numbers of covid 19. it s due to recent data showing that nearly 30% of adults in newcastle for example, haven t even had their firstjab. among younger adults it s almost half. in the whole of england nearly 70% of the adult population has had both jabs which is why auhorities say they re taking action. the bbc s martin forster reports. injanuary, worried people queued up to be vaccinated and the limiting factor was how quickly the nhs could get hold of vaccines. six months later, and it s a very different story. the vaccines are there, the vaccinators are there, but the nhs is dealing with a far more sceptical audience. while the north east are seeing the highest rates of infection in the country, in newcastle, nearly three in ten adults remain completely unvaccinated. i guess there s a sense that perhaps were getting towards the end of the pandemic and i think that s p
here in the uk, a number of airlines and some airport operators have told the bbc this weekend could be the busiest for international travel since the start of the pandemic. jet2 says it s operating 170 flights to more than a0 destinations, with fully vaccinated travellers to amber list countries no longer having to quarantine on return. simon browning has more. finally, the suitcases are packed. ..the hand luggage sorted. ..sunglasses at the ready. the last 18 months have been tough for the travel industry, but recent government changes mean most amber list countries are open for travel without quarantine on return if you re double jabbed. and people are booking, packing and jetting off. it s just so exciting to get on an aeroplane again. it s wonderful. we re off to ibiza. yeah. friends have got a villa there and we booked it ages ago, weren t sure if we can make it or not, but looks like, you know, we ve jumped through all the hoops, so. i m going to spain to see my fami
