Tuesday morning news briefing: Quarantine plan rethink

'Unworkable' plan for UK arrivals could be ditched

Quarantine regulations will be brought before Parliament today and introduced next Monday. But there are signs the troubled policy could be phased out just weeks later. The Telegraph has learnt that ministers are working on plans to replace quarantine for arrivals to the UK, with Boris Johnson now "personally in favour" of introducing so-called air bridges. Officials are working behind the scenes to strike deals with foreign countries to make them exempt by the end of June. Quarantining has caused a growing revolt among Tory MPs, while more than 200 tourism and aviation chiefs have warned that it is "unworkable". Political Editor Gordon Rayner explains the chaotic origins of the plan to quarantine all UK arrivals for 14 days. And read our guide to what air bridges are - and the countries we might be able to travel to first.

Meanwhile, the Government has said the plan to have every primary school pupil back in the classroom for at least a month before the summer holidays is under review after ministers were warned it would be "logistically impossible". Unions are accused of sabotaging attempts to reopen schools. Helen Chandler-Wilde reports from inside one "very eerie" school. And Matt focuses on the first day back for today's cartoon.

Political leaders appealed for calm and had masks handed out to demonstrators, warning those without that they were putting themselves at risk. In extraordinary scenes overnight, Mr Trump declared himself the "president of law and order" in the White House Rose Garden as riot police used tear gas, rubber bullets and horses to clear peaceful protesters outside.
