ENGLAND AMENDS QUARANTINE RULES FOR INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS FROM ISLANDS
England's health authorities will assess islands separately to the mainland, when deciding whether to impose coronavirus travel restrictions.

But the UK transport secretary, Grant Shapps, says now with better data they can distinguish between islands and the mainland.

UK PM Boris Johnson to override EU Withdrawal Agreement -- or even walk away with no deal
The UK is threatening to walk away from post-Brexit talks with the EU and pursue a no-deal outcome if an agreement is not struck before the European Council in October.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson had argued his government would "get Brexit done" with an "oven-ready deal," yet now says if both sides can't reconcile their differences in the coming weeks, then Britain will "accept that and move on," claiming this would be a "good outcome" for the country.
The deadline for a free-trade deal is at the end of this year.
