but the foreign secretary, dominic raab, who accepted the decision would cause disruption said it was right to act quickly given the spike in cases in spain. our political correspondent helen catt reports. when the quarantine policy was brought in last month, it had a bumpy landing in the commons. mps, worried about the travel industry, called for some holiday destinations to be exempt. lists of safe countries were agreed by the uk government and those in scotland, northern ireland and wales, but they warned they could change. it's how that's been done with spain that's led to criticism. the way in which it has been communicated in the last 2a hours is shambolic, and the consequence is that many families are now left asking lots of questions, stressed, they're anxious. they need to know from their employer whether they can isolate when they return from their holiday. ijust think this could have been handled so, so much better. the difference when it comes to the spanish islands between travel advice and quarantine policy has been criticised, and there are doubts over how effective the

here's foreign secretary dominic raab. well, we are in a position now to say that we believe we know with reasonable confidence that russian actors were involved with trying to interfere with the 2019 election, principally through trying to spread, amplify online illegally obtained leaked documents related to the uk—us free trade negotiations. there's a criminal investigation ongoing, so i can't say too much more on that. it is important to wait on the specific attribution, but we will reserve our right to take appropriate measures when we have the conclusion of that investigation. the 2019 election is not the only uk vote russia is accused of interfering with. the uk's 2016 referendum on leaving the european union is also believed to have been targeted by russia. the government has a report on the interference, but has yet to publish it. this is a headline in the times from november 2019, saying the report names nine russian business people who have donated to the conservative party, and britain's intelligence agencies

the uk foreign secretary, dominic raab, is expected to suspend the uk's extradition treaty with hong kong today. it's all part of mounting tension with beijing after china imposed a controversial new security law on hong kong, and after the uk decided to ban huawei from its 5g network. at a news briefing in beijing this morning, a chinese foreign ministry spokesman has urged britain to avoid, in his words, taking any more steps down the wrong path. translation: these remarks, these hong kong—related remarks turn a blind eye to the basic facts that the national security law is for the sustained success of one china two systems. it goes against the international law, the international norms. we strongly condemn this wrong action. we urge the us to make no more steps down the wrong path so as to avoid further damage to china—uk relations. our china correspondent stephen mcdonell is in beijing. a strong warning from beijing? yes, we have just come from that briefing. some tough language. he is accusing the uk are brutally meddling in china's internal affairs regarding the new state s

dominic raab told his chinese counterpart wang yi over the phone that britain will closely watch the legislative council in september. he also said beijing must uphold obligations in home to many of the uighur muslim minority. britain suspended extradition treaty with hong kongng afterhe national security law started. it also plans to cut chinese telecom giant huawei from 5g next generation mobile networks by 2027. >>> while the new security law continues to reverberate in hong kong and beyond, it may be a case of deja vu for the man in our next storory. he was one of more than 300 lawyers and vaactivists detaine after a similar measure came into force on the mainland in 2015. he spoke with nhk about the hardsh hardship he's endured, and bha he says about the rule of law in his country. >> wang's five-year ordeal came to an end in april when he was finally returned to his family in beijing. for much of that time, they didn't know whether he was alive or dead. even though, wang remains under strict police surveillance. >> as a human rights lawyer, wang's clients included people fighti

we have a statement in the house of commons today from the foreign secretary dominic raab. as you say, likely to suspend the extradition treaty with the hong kong because they imposed a sweeping national security law on the territory in breach, britton argues, of its obligations when that territory was handed over from the uk. in addition to that, we have also said it is up to 3 million citizens of hong kong to come to britain and live and work here if need be. this isjust one aspect britain and live and work here if need be. this is just one aspect of the relations with china at the moment. you mentioned huawei as well—stocked china's obviously talked about potentially retaliating against british companies in their territory because huawei's being phased out of the 5g network. in addition to that, both written and america seem to be highlighting the plight of the uighur muslims in western china as well. something which the chinese ambassador was not too pleased about on the bbc when he was questioned about this yesterday. he accused not having an dependent foreign policy

he's meeting his counterpart, dominic raab, and the prime minister, borisjohnson. well—wishers and football fans are expected to line the streets of ashington and newcastle this morning ahead of the funeral of jack charlton who died earlier this month at the age of 85. ‘big jack'— as he was known — won the world cup with england in 1966 and later led ireland to the world cup quarter finals as manager. patrick gearey reports. you couldn't miss jack charlton, tall in stature, big in character. the miner turned manager who won a world cup in between. he grew up in ashington, northumberland, with brother bobby. the family was steeped in football and coal. jack went underground for a while with his dad, but it was mum's passion, football, that proved his calling. and while bobby spun silk, jack was granite. he came in like a brick wall and he's hurt... i can't play. i can stop other people playing, but i can't play. bobby can play, he's a creative player. but there's a place in the game for both types. the two brothers were there on english football's most famou

the new foreign secretary, dominic raab, taking more action against russian citizens who profited from the crimes. yes, let's see the russia report, absolutely. i don't think the government has handled the installation of the new chairman at all well. i won't debate that. does not get carried away with accusations that somehow, the british government isn't willing to stand up to moscow. the government is very willing to stand up to moscow and has done so. just very quickly, before he move on. you talk about your belief that the british government will stand up to moscow. a little thing in the telegraph, it says the russian intimacy fired a warning shot across number ten by saying any unfriendly actions against russia will not be left without a proper and adequate response. what you read into that? my response. what you read into that? my worry is the same with huawei this week, the british government's decision to strip huawei out of our 5g network. russia, masco, beijing could attack us with cyber warfare —— russia, and moscow. to ensure that these regimes can't attack us like thi

britain's foreign secretary, dominic raab, accuses the chinese government of carrying out human rights abuses against its uighur population. it is deeply, deeply troubling. and the reports of the human aspect of it from forced sterilisation to the education camps are reminiscent of something we have not seen for a long, long time. meanwhile, china's ambassador to london tells the bbc the uk's decision to drop huawei from its 5g networks is a bad move for the country. more than 250,000 coronavirus cases in 24 hours — the largest single—day global rise in cases since the start of the pandemic.

in the past hour the foreign secretary dominic raab had announced that it's almost certain that what he called russian actors sought to interfere in last year's general election. that's all from the bbc news that one. it's goodbye from me. good afternoon. it's 1:30pm, and here's your latest sports news. play in england's second test against the west indies, at emirates old trafford, is under way — more on that in a moment — but we won't be seeing jofra archer in action. the england bowler‘s been dropped because he broke bio—secure rules by going home to brighton in between the first test in southampton and this match. england only found out about the incident last night. he's now in self—isolation for five days and will undergo two covid—i9 tests — which must come back negative before he can rejoin the squad. in a statement, archer admits his actions put himself, his teammates and management in danger. he says he accepts his punishment, and has apologised for what he's done. he adds that it "deeply pains" him to be missing the match, and he says he's let both teams down

in making the announcement, the uk's foreign secretary, dominic raab, also extended to hong kong the arms embargo it had applied to china since 1989, stopping the uk exporting equipment, such as firearms, smoke grenades and shackles to the territory. mr raab said the new national security law had changed the relationship with britain's former colony. the imposition of this legislation has significantly changed key assumptions underpinning our arrangements with hong kong. i'm particularly concerned about articles 55—59 which give mainland china the ability to assume jurisdiction over certain cases and to try those cases in mainland chinese courts. the national security law does not provide legal orjudicial security law does not provide legal or judicial safeguards security law does not provide legal orjudicial safeguards in such cases i'm also concerned about the potential reach of the extraterritorial provisions, so i have consulted with the home secretary, justice secretary and attorney general and the government has decided to suspend the extradition treaty immediately and indefi

raab described as a "big jump" in new coronavirus cases in spain. everyone now coming into the uk from any part of spain is required to go into quarantine for 14 days. the greatest concentration of infections is in the north east of the country. popular tourist areas in southern spain, the canaries and the balearic islands are seeing relatively low infection rates. we'll report from spain in a moment but first our business correspondent katy austin on what this means for travel companies and individuals. any hopes of a great summer holiday revival have taken a knock this weekend. the reimposition of quarantine measures on arrivals from spain, with just a few hours notice has sparked frustration, including among people who had just gone out to spain from the uk. you just don't want your whole life to kind of be upheavalled and have to cancel all your work, not be able to go to school. it's a lot of stress and hassle. the government said it was acting after thejoint bio—security centre and public health england updated their coronavirus assessments

the british foreign secretary, dominic raab, has suspended the uk's extradition treaty with its former colony, hong kong — immediately and indefinitely. his announcement which also include an arms embargo follow china's imposition of a new security law on hong kong which mr raab called a clear and serious violation of the uk—china joint declaration. syrian state media says the country's air defences have intercepted a number of israeli missiles over damascus. a syrian military spokesman said most of the missiles targeted southern damascus suburbs which israel had hit in the past. it said seven syrian soldiers had been wounded. there was no immediate israeli comment. a man found dead in a car in new york state is being investigated as the possible suspect in the deadly attack on the family of a us federaljudge. esther salas was unharmed after sunday's shootings, but her 20—year—old son was killed and her husband was critically injured. budget negotiations between leaders of the 27 eu member states have gone into a fourth night in brussels. their summit was initially scheduled to

the foreign secretary, dominic raab, said there were "gross and egregious" human rights abuses going on and that he found it deeply troubling. it comes amid a rise in diplomatic tension between the two countries over a new national security law in hong kong, and the british government's decision to ban the chinese company huawei from the uk's 56 network. our diplomatic correspondent caroline hawley has the story. there's been growing international concern over china's human rights record, outrage in particular over its treatment of the country's uighur minority. men have been herded into internment camps, women subjected to forced sterilisation. it is clear that there are gross, egregious human rights abuses going on, which is why in new york, sorry, in geneva, at the un, we raised this with 27 partners, the first time it has been done, to call out the government of china for its human rights abuses of the weakers, also hong kong, so we are working with international partners. it is deeply troubling. these pictures appear to show uighur muslims bound and blindfolded, pushed onto trai

china denies an accusation by foreign secretary dominic raab that they're carrying out human rights abuses against its uighur population. can i ask you why people are kneeling blindfolded and shaven and being led to trains in modern china? why? what is going on there? i do not know where you get this video tape. it is deeply, deeply troubling. and the reports on the human aspect of it, from forced sterilisation to the education camps, are reminiscent of something we have not seen for a long, long time. borisjohnson says he doesn't believe another nationwide lockdown will be needed — even if there's a second spike

dominic raab said these regulations were what he called a "first step". now, members of northern ireland's assembly have debated a motion criticising sinn fein ministers over their attendance at the funeral of senior ira figure bobby storey. the motion, drawn up by the dup, uup, alliance and the sdlp, called on the deputy first minister michelle o'neill and the finance minister conor murphy to apologise amid claims they broke coronavirus guidelines. critics have suggested social distancing was not maintained in crowds that lined the streets, or at a requiem mass and that ms o'neill posed for a photograph at milltown cemetery, where a man put his arm around her shoulders. michelle o'neill has already apologised "for grieving families experiencing more hurt" but insisted she did not break the rules. more than 30 in attendance. hundreds more behind them in a procession. widespread advertising of an event. installing a public address system in a cemetery. a mass rally in a cemetery. posing for selfies. and yet, the deputy first minister continues to insist th

and here's how dominic raab, the foreign secretary, explained it all. with our us and canadian counterparts, we have also made it clear, and we have released a statement indicating that we know the russian intelligence agencies have been targeting, in terms of cyberattacks, against efforts across those three countries and here in the uk, our attempt to find a vaccine to research and development to coronavirus. i think that's pretty appalling, i have to say. right, let's discuss this with two people who know all about russia and its actors. it's pauline neville—jones, baroness neville—jones, who is a former diplomat and a former minister and was a chair of thejoint intelligence committee. hello. and we'll speak to author, journalist and expert misha glenny. hello, misha. hello. he was the author of mcmafia, which was then turned into a super—glitzy tv show. press any number. what number? any number, mama. the year i was born. nothing's happening. now press zero. siren blares. misha, before we talk about the serious stuff, the showbiz stuff, the tv

he was visiting london, meeting prime minister borisjohnson and foreign secretary dominic raab. you are pretty much up—to—date on the headlines. now on bbc news — tuesday in parliament. hello again and welcome to tuesday in parliament. a medical expert says the uk should have been better prepared for coronavirus. the fact that we were asleep to the concept that we would have a pandemic, i think shame on us. after the windrush scandal, priti patel promises to change the way the home office is run. and there are far too many times where i am the only non—white face in the room. and a former prime minister speaks up for the families of victims of dangerous driving. all feel that justice is currently, in many cases, not being done. but first, experts have told mps that the the uk will be living with coronavirus for many years to come and even a vaccine is unlikely to eliminate it for good. the director of the wellcome trust told the health committee that "things will not be done by christmas" and humanity would be living with the infection for decades. last week, the prime m

the british foreign secretary, dominic raab, said the government would "not apologise" for re—imposing strict quarantine rules at short notice. the british foreign office has advised against all nonessential travel to mainland spain. the canary and balearic islands are exempt, which means tourists can still go on holiday there. but all travellers returning from spain, including its islands, into the uk must enter a 14—day quarantine on their return. more than 18 million british tourists went there last year and the spanish government insists the country remains safe to visit. guy hedgecoe reports from madrid. for thousands of british holiday—makers, relaxation suddenly turned to frustration here in barcelona. it's a bit crazy, considering the restrictions in place in spain already are really good, with the masks, with disinfecting everything, with hand wash in the shops. that's better than what we have in london. others think it is the right move. since the number of cases here in spain are rising, i think it's probably a sensible measure, and i was expecting it, to be honest. the

let's get some of the day's other news: the british foreign secretary, dominic raab, has suspended the uk's extradition treaty with its former colony hong kong, immediately and indefinitely. the announcement, which also includes an arms embargo, is a response to china's imposition of a new security law on hong kong which mr raab called a clear and serious violation of the uk—china joint declaration. syrian state media says the country's air defences have intercepted a number of israeli missiles over damascus. a syrian military spokesman said most of the missiles targeted southern damascus suburbs which israel had hit in the past. it said seven syrian soldiers had been wounded. there was no immediate israeli comment. a man found dead in a car in new york state is being investigated as the possible suspect in the deadly attack on the family of a us federaljudge. esther salas was unharmed after sunday's shootings, but her 20—year—old son was killed and her husband was critically injured. the wearing of masks in indoor public spaces is now compulsory in france. there is a penalty of

this afternoon the foreign secretary dominic raab gave details to the house of commons of the first indivuduals whose uk assets will now be frozen. regime, today we are also proceeding directly to make the first designations under those regulations, and we are imposing sanctions on individuals involved in some of the most notorious human rights violations in recent years. the first designations will cover those individuals involved in the torture and murder of sergei magnitsky, the lawyer who disclosed the biggest known tax fraud in russian history. the designations will also include those responsible for the brutal murder of the writer and journalist jamal kashoggi. they will include those who perpetrated the systematic and brutal violence against the rohingya population in myanmar and they also include two organisations bearing responsibility for the enslavement, torture and murder that takes place in north korea's wretched gulags, in which it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of prisoners have perished over the last 50 years. and so with these first designations, mr speaker, this gover

dominic raab said he had depressing but necessary duty to report to the commons that what beijing had done constituted a clear and serious breach of the joint declaration and in particular he went on to make clear what that would mean for the holders of so—called british national overseas passports, he said that those who held these passports would be entitled to five years limited leave to remain in the uk with the right to remain in the uk with the right to work or study and after those five years they would be able to apply for a settled status and then for citizenship. crucially he said that dependents of those who have these passports will also be covered and that would mean many people under 23, many of them activists would be able to come despite the fa ct would be able to come despite the fact that they were born after the handover. our top story this lunchtime: hong kong police have made their first arrests under a new security law imposed by beijing. here, the government says it will give some hong kong residents the right to move to britain. and residents of the west bank

dominic raab. many coronavirus lockdown restrictions in england are being eased this weekend, meaning people can finally go back to pubs, restaurants and hairdressers. but residents in leicester will have to carry on under tougher rules for another couple of weeks at least, due to a local outbreak. at prime minister's questions, the labour leader argued that while the leicester spike had been known about for days, local authorities hadn't had the data they needed and so he worried about relaxing the rules for the rest of england. this nationwide lifting of restrictions this weekend without an app, without clear data for local authorities or the world—beating system we are promised... i do support it... jeering. i support the easing of restrictions, but unlike the prime minister, i'm not blind to the risk. he said two—thirds of people with covid—19 weren't being reached — a claim rejected by borisjohnson. as he knows very well, the test, track and trace operation is actually reaching huge nu

what you make of the line that dominic raab has taken to that? yes, we have known for some time about these alleged human rights abuses of the uighur muslims alleged human rights abuses of the uighurmuslims in alleged human rights abuses of the uighur muslims in china and today the foreign secretary described them as gi’oss the foreign secretary described them as gross and egregious human rights abuses against the ethnic minority and said that sanctions cannot be ruled out, which is a fairly strong line, but not quite as strong as labour has been calling for the government to take, as they suggested powers should be used such as we have seen against the perpetrators of of the crime against the rohingya in myanmar. but he is striking quite a strong tone here, calling for some form of action, suggesting he will work with international allies on this and of course there will be calls for him to go further. it was really interesting on the andrew marr show this morning where the ambassador was shown that footage you just referenced, which i think a
