Portugal is coming off the green list for foreign travel from Tuesday. So, if you want to go abroad anytime soon (without having to quarantine when you're back) your options are pretty limited. The BBC’s Caroline Davies and Nick Beake explain what’s going on.
And if we can’t go to Portugal so easily, at least one Portuguese person can come to us! Yes, we’ve rolled out the red carpet for our first ever in-person guest on Newscast... The EU’s ambassador to the UK, Joao Vale de Almeida.
Today’s Newscast was made by Sam Bonham with Daniel Wittenberg, Ben Cooper and Rick Kelsey. The studio director was Emma Crowe. The editor is Dino Sofos.
