UK WORKING ON INTERNATIONAL VACCINE CERTIFICATION

The UK says it's working to relax travel restrictions for people who've been vaccinated in other countries.

On Thursday quarantine was dropped for Britons returning to the UK from most countries - if they've received two jabs from the National Health Service.

But many Brits who live abroad are angry they can't yet travel to their home country without isolating because of where they received vaccine doses.

It also means international tourism to the UK remains almost non-existant.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps says he hopes that can be dealt with quickly.
