Even those who don't like football might be amazed by this goal in the World Cup qualifier between Canada and Haiti:

Covid: Ryanair and Manchester Airports Group take legal action over travel traffic light system

Ryanair and the owner of Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports are to launch a legal challenge against the government over the travel traffic light system.

They call for more transparency about how the government decides which countries qualify for the green list of safe places to visit amid the pandemic.

The BBC understands it has the backing of other major UK airlines.

Double-jabbed UK tourists could skip amber-list quarantine under proposals
Ministers looking at loosening travel restrictions for fully vaccinated travellers returning to England

British travellers who have had two Covid vaccines could be allowed quarantine-free entry into England under plans being considered by ministers, the Guardian understands.

As the government grapples with allowing more trips abroad while trying to prevent the importation of new variants, changes are being considered to the traffic light system under which places are graded according to their Covid case and jab rate, determining whether and how people coming from them must isolate.

Only a handful of countries feature on the isolation-free green list, with 50 territories on the red list – meaning arrivals must stay in a quarantine hotel for 14 days.

The amber list, which features the vast majority of countries and to which Portugal was recently added, has prompted much more confusion. Official government advice urges people not to travel to these places, but there are no laws in place to stop people arriving from them and quarantining at home for up to 10 days, or using the test-to-release system to leave the house from day five.

Kitten rescued after travelling to UK from Romania in furniture lorry
A four-week-old kitten made a ‘miraculous’ recovery after becoming trapped on board a lorry transporting furniture to the UK from Romania for almost a week

A four-week-old kitten trapped in a furniture lorry travelled to the UK from Romania before he was discovered, terrified and severely dehydrated.

The accidental stowaway, whom rescuers named Roman, is thought to have survived in the baking lorry for almost a week after sneaking on board “looking for somewhere cosy to sleep”.

Roman required intensive care and intravenous fluids after being discovered at a depot in Bedford. Rescuers say it’s a “miracle” he’s alive.

Staff at the depot called their colleague Tasmin Eastwood after finding the kitten who, coincidentally, is also coordinator of the Cats Protection charity’s nearby Bedford and Biggleswade branch.

The charity, who are sponsoring Roman’s treatment, have launched a JustGiving page to raise money to cover its £1,600 cost. At the time of writing, they have raised £710.
