Watch live as Grant Shapps announces green list countries

Grant Shapps, the transport secretary, has announced which countries are on the ‘green list’ for UK travel, in the latest press conference from Downing Street. The list, revealed on Friday, concerns countries with the most relaxed restrictions on travel, including around self-isolating upon their return to the UK.
