This is bbc news. im lukwesa burak. the latest headlines. major changes are due to be announced to international travel rules — the amber travel list of countries could be scrapped. also — fully vaccinated travellers may no longer have to take costly pcr tests — but ministers are urging caution. the rationale for keeping pcr testing in particular rather than lateral flow testing is it does enable you to do the genome sequencing of potential new variants. thats been the argument for keeping...

In, we have had some very strange data with respect to the fact that 12 in 1000 people have been detected as positive with the pcr system and these were asymptomatic individuals who were coming in and who had previously had a lateral flow in order to fly. so there are people coming into the country, and if they are simply being tested with lateral flow then we will have more risk of variants coming into the country in the future. ., , ., , ., ., the future. can you give us an idea in the differe...

Night. into saturday, we have a lot of dry weather, still reasonably warm, some rain in the west but that becomes more widespread by sunday. hello, this is bbc news with me, lukwesa burak. the headlines: major changes are due to be announced to international travel rules — the amber travel list of countries could be scrapped. also, fully vaccinated travellers may no longer have to take costly pcr tests but ministers are urging caution. the rationale for keeping the pcr testing in particular ra...

The environment secretary, george eustice, told the bbc this morning, that nothing has been decided yet — but has stressed that the current system of using pcr tests has good reasoning behind it. the rationale for keeping the pcr testing in particular rather than lateral flow testing is it does enable you to do the genome sequencing of potential new variants. that has been the argument for keeping it as a pcr test. we also want to try to help people get back to life as normal. so, if a case ca...

Countries has been suggested. also changing the testing to lateral flow would be useful. i think they need to be more robust, more reliable and maybe there should be a way if the lateral flow is positive, maybe there should be a way if the lateralflow is positive, obviously the person couldnt travel, and then as happens now with a positive lateral flow, as happens now with a positive lateralflow, a pcr test as happens now with a positive lateral flow, a pcr test would as happens now with a posit...

Standard pcr test?— morning. first off, what is a gold standard pcr test? those are the molecular tests _ standard pcr test? those are the molecular tests that _ standard pcr test? those are the molecular tests that have - standard pcr test? those are the molecular tests that have very . standard pcr test? those are the i molecular tests that have very high sensitivity and very high specificity meaning they can detect small amounts of virus and give us 100% confident that we have either positi...

This is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. in england, major changes are due to be announced to international travel rules — making it easier for people to go abroad. also — fully vaccinated arrivals in england may no longer have to take costly pcr tests — but some uk ministers are urging caution. the rationale for keeping pcr testing in particular rather than lateral flow testing is it does enable you to do the genome sequencing of potential new va...

The industry is hoping for something that will fill up the sunbeds. the environment secretary, george eustice, told the bbc this morning that nothing has been decided yet — but has stressed that the current system of using pcr tests has good reasoning behind it. the rationale for keeping the pcr testing in particular rather than lateral flow testing is it does enable you to do the genome sequencing of potential new variants. that has been the argument for keeping it as a pcr test. we also want...

By giving people opportunity across the whole of the uk. that _ the whole of the uk. that was a bit of a shopping list, wasnt it? there was a lot in there for the cabinet to mull over but the challenge is not going to be saying it at the top of the meeting, it is going to be delivering it and i think borisjohnson has a lot of work on his hands if hes going to deliver those promises, and the clock is ticking.— clock is ticking. nick eardley, thank you _ clock is ticking. nick eardley, thank you...
