so now portugal has emerged as the strongest contender. it's a useful fallback option for both the uk and ua for because it is on the uk government's green list which means fans can travel to portugal and also the stakeholders can come in and out fairly easily. but there are still lots of logistical hurdles to overcome. winter to hear about a final decision?— winter to hear about a final decision? ~ . ., ., . , ., decision? we are hearing a decision should be expected _ decision? we are hearing a decision should be expected tomorrow. - decision? we are hearing a decision should be expected tomorrow. thatj should be expected tomorrow. that would leave on the 18 days until the final, so time is of the essence here, and it is clear that once they have even settled on a venue, they have even settled on a venue, they have been got to work out how it will all work, have been got to work out how it willall work, how have been got to work out how it will all work, how they get the fans from the uk out to portugal, if portugal is the chosen venue

chanting: portugal, - portugal, we are coming! on top of the usual flight and hotel price hikes, three covid tests are needed to get in and out. more than 11,000 city and chelsea fans have tickets to be in the stadium, but plenty more have travelled without tickets, and are planning to watch it in the bars around porto, which close at 10:30pm. during the day, the atmosphere was one of mutual respect, albeit under a watchful eye. like most tourist cities, porto has lost millions during the pandemic. but now the hotels are full for the first time since last march. it was important for the economy, for the local economy, the restaurants, for the hotels, for the tourists, for the boats, for example. so it is like kick—off for a new moment here both teams overcame stellar opposition to be here, but this is city's first champions league final. for pep guardiola, there's no greater feeling. i am the happiest man in the world right now to be here, it is a privilege, it is an honour, and we are going to try to do our best. the prize forf

then in the last month many holiday make us go to portugal however there is still also some question i would say amongst the british public because politicians and indeed health experts are warning not to let it all out and actually the health minister said people shouldn't be be going on holiday they should really be straight to to essentially travel and i think many older people specifically with still be quite cautious because we know that on the continent that the virus is still much more prevalent and here in the u.k. so if people are actually traveling to another even european country they're still exposing themselves to to morris and they would potentially do in the u.k. so caution is still the name of the game there it's not only travel that's affected here whole swaths of the british economy are reopening allowing restaurants and bars to serve customers indoors or cinemas to welcome movie goers how have these businesses been preparing for this day. well yes it's a bit of a grand reopening in the u.k. even though large groups are still not permitted to meet and those who stil

this is good for portugal. i hope everybody will take advantage out of it. >> restaurants will fill once again, even though the state of covid alert has been extended t the end of the month. after a big surge of cases at the start of the world, portugal has made great progress and is set to reap the rewards, offering a taste of all that we have missed. katty: looks good, doesn't it? we will have that story about the u.s. supreme court which has agreed to hear a case that could overturn its position on abortion. it will decide to uphold a mississippi statute banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. a severe cyclone has hit india, killing at least 12, causing the evacuation of more than 10,000. mumbai airport was closed as wins were gusting up to 115 miles per hour. the cyclone comes amid a second covid 19 wave that has overwhelmed the health care system. long working hours are killing hundreds of thousands of people a year. the first study of its kind suggests three quarters of a million people died in 2016

normality is slowly returning to portugal. bars have reopened and the 14 day infection rate pair 100 ties and residence is below 60. e.u. leaders are meeting in porto to discuss further handling of the pandemic their response to washington's call for the release of vaccine patents is divided. the key to success is not the transfer of patents but the transfer of production technology so that developing countries can also produce vaccines more quickly. besides releasing patents we also need to encourage passing on our knowledge. this summit central theme is actually social rights. it must work for youth and for women. who were the 1st to lose their jobs during the lockdowns because they did not have a proper contract europe's plan has been criticized by employers associations you have to understand that companies are really struggling to get out of the crisis now it's not the moment to be confronted with me burdens. currently 21 percent of the e.u. citizens are considered poor or at risk of poverty. and not some of the stories m

we're going to portugal! we are not all going on a summer holiday, but, from today, going abroad for one is no longer illegal. this, after a long time of empty arrivals halls, will be a sight for sore eyes for many in the travel industry. it is a change of environment. we have been stuck at home for literally two years, so, just getting out and doing something different, being in a different culture, getting some sunshine, relaxing. international travel has returned, but with only 12 countries on the green list, the destinations are limited, but the paperwork and cost is not. portugal requires a pcr test on the way out, as well as two covid tests to get back to the uk, but today's 8:40am flight to faro, was 90% full. we are now flying at over 35,000 feet. it feels quite familiar to be on board a plane again, but also quite strange, not least being in such close proximity to other people. for some, the adventure began before the plane landed. arlo�*s grandmother hasn't seen him for nine months. we've done zo

well with the increase in vaccination not only in portugal but mainly in the united kingdom which is our main tourist market it should get better i think there are conditions so that we don't have to go back to the dome of it opening is an opening we hope it will be a success we should go slowly because it is a year that hasn't special conditions of course. from now on british tourists no longer have to carry out quarantine when they return home from portugal that makes traveling easier but it's not a return to normal quite yet we still think that we're going to be nowhere near the 2019 expectation so i would say about 2025 percent lower than 2019 considerable better than last year package holiday companies and tourism focused airlines are ramping up their portugal offers some are worried it may be too much too soon. thanks for watching ever self a successful. television species. expedition looking just for the secret language of choice. playing a research team to the pacific coast. whales the stars just. double doors. thank you feel worried about the planet. bleaching. my meal. on t

there are 20 plus flights meant to be leaving the uk to go to portugal. it has been quite nerve—racking for the travel industry, they are quite relieved. after the green list was announced last friday, we heard nothing from the portuguese government about whether or not they would lift their ban on nonessential travel to allow british tourists in and then yesterday when the cabinet minister was asked about it, she said she had no more information to give. but today, we have been told british tourists will be allowed into portugal, theyjust need to have had a negative pcr test take a maximum of 72 hours before they travel —— taken. huge relief to the industry, they only have 12 countries and territories on the green list and several like australia and new zealand are not accepting british tourists, so portugal really is a big destination for them. of course, the big question now is the concern about what this means for the summer, we have not even restarted nonessential international travel yet and we are already left with this uncertainty. the indus
