if you look at the rest of europe, nowhere else in the rest of europe generally is having to ask people to take a test once you're actually arriving in the country, so i think it puts us in line with other european nations. and as i say, it's a really positive news. people have been really confused over the last few months over which test they had to take, when they had to take them, and the removal of the predeparture test to get back into the uk was another really positive step forward, because for a lot of people, they wouldn't worry about going on holiday, but what happens if i catch covid abroad? do i have to quarantine abroad? so it's yet another thing that was taken away, another worry that was taken away and hopefully will encourage more people to book. got a little bit more news on this story of the pcr tests that are coming back negative even though people have had a previous positive lateral flow test. affecting over 40,000 in the south—west of england. we are now getting this story that potentially around 4000 possible inaccurate tests might be coming from people living in

there have been many stops across europe. it takes you back when you see the physical reaction that we're getting, but also she's amazingly evocative. so, she's doing herjob. she has provoked strong feelings. in rome, the pope came out to meet her, but not everywhere has been quite so welcoming. especially at one stop in greece. people were stoning a puppet arriving? people were stoning a puppet arriving, which is nothing we expected, and feeling very strongly about it as well, shouting at her with everything they had. and here on the kent coast, which sees regular migrant arrivals along the shore, there is considerable local debate. this man is a ukip councillor, and he wasn't going to be meeting little amal. the event that's taking place in folkestone today is all about raising awareness, about being welcoming to refugees. you would rather folkestone was less welcoming? personally, yes. but i would welcome . them if they came over here with a passport - or equivalent documentation. but by folkestone harbour, the crowds were

for years, europe has depended on russia for much of its energy supplies. in all, the eu gets 40% of its natural gas from there, and about a quarter of its crude oil. that means the kremlin has a big say in the price of our energy, and one ofjoe biden�*s closest advisers told me that influence could be exploited. we have long been concerned about russia using energy as a tool of coercion and a political weapon. we've seen it happen before and we could see it happen again. but do you think that russia are going to try and exploit this? i think it would be a mistake for russia to try to exploit this. i think that would ultimately backfire on them and i believe that they should respond to the market demands for increased energy supplies to europe. the fear is that moscow is not supplying as much gas as it could to put pressure on the eu to start using this, russia's new pipeline called nord stream 2. this would massively increase the amount of gas coming direct from russia, through the baltic sea, to germany, bypassing the other main route through ukraine. s

the us government urges rational to the energy crisis causing a shortage of gas across europe. jake sullivan told the bbc that moscow had previously used energy as a political weapon. he warned that doing so now would backfire. we have long been concerned about russia using energy as a tool of coercion and a political weapon. we have seen it happen before and we could see it happen again. that being said, the larger challenge right now is a global challenge, with both oil supplies and gas supplies, and it is a challenge where the supply of these sources of energy are not meeting the growing demand as economies recover, and our message to the suppliers of both oil and gas is that they need to step up to meet this growing demand so as not to imperil global economic recovery, and we are working closely with fellow consumers, including in europe and the united kingdom, to be able to convey that message in stereo. do you think russia are going to try to exploit this? i think it would be a mistake for russia to try to exploit this. i think that would ultimately backfire on them, and
