A top British law firm representing travellers is taking the UK government to court over the country’s hotel quarantine policy

As part of the UK policy, travellers must spend 11 nights in a quarantine hotel upon returning from red list countries, even if they’re fully vaccinated and returned a negative test for Covid-19.

London-based legal firm PGMBM said it had called for a judicial review into the policy, but the government had refused.

The cost of staying in a quarantine hotel is now £2,285, at the expense of the traveller

More than 60 locations including Turkey, Mexico, Kenya and many countries in Africa and Latin America are currently on the UK’s red list.

The other European countries with mandatory quarantine involving hotel detentions – Ireland and Norway – have amended their schemes so fully vaccinated travellers are exempt from needing to quarantine.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
