The UK has not banned international travel despite the emergence of coronavirus variants overseas.

How much progress have black people in the US made towards equality since the 1960s?

Israel gets billions of dollars in US aid - we look at why, and what that money is used for.

Videos of people sticking magnets to their arms where they claim they’ve had the Covid vaccine have gone viral. We debunk this so-called magnet challenge.

What do we know about the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, and will it last?

As UK coronavirus restrictions are relaxed, public transport could become much busier.

It's the most vaccinated country in the world, but infections have risen in the island nation.

India was put on the travel ban list two weeks after Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Were arrivals from Pakistan and Bangladesh three times more likely to have Covid than those from India?

Reality Check

The prime minister was asked how many people were travelling to and from countries on the government’s “amber list” every day.

Boris Johnson replied: "There has been a 95% reduction in travel of any kind to and from this country."

This figure seems to come from a report published last summer by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) which compared passenger numbers in June 2019 with traffic from June 2020.

According to the ONS, "overseas residents made an estimated 176,000 visits to the UK in June 2020, which was 95% fewer than in June 2019."

It’s worth noting that June 2020 was when the UK was coming out of the first lockdown and these dates are obviously before the introduction of the traffic light system (including the amber list) for England.

Reality Check

At Prime Minister’s Questions, Labour leader Keir Starmer accused the government of having “lost control of the messaging” over its advice for people on travelling to countries on its “amber list”.

There is lots of advice on the government, external website about coming back from these countries (which include France, Spain and Italy). This includes taking Covid tests, filling out a passenger locator form and self-isolating at home for 10 days.

On going out, it says simply ‘‘You should not travel to amber list countries or territories’. From Monday, it is no longer illegal to go to these countries though.

But yesterday, Environment Secretary George Eustice said: "There will be reasons why people feel they need to travel [to amber list countries] either to visit family or indeed to visit friends but they then have to observe quarantine when they return."

Later, Boris Johnson said it was “very important people grasp what the amber list is – not somewhere to go on holiday” and said people should only travel to these countries for “pressing family or business reasons”.

Then, Health Minister Lord Bethell said overseas travel was “dangerous”, telling peers “The ultimate sanction here is that…we tell people: travelling is not for this year. Please stay in this country.”

US President Joe Biden is facing questions from some within his Democratic party about the amount of foreign aid America sends to Israel.

Senator Bernie Sanders has said: "We must take a hard look at nearly $4bn (£2.8bn) a year in military aid to Israel."

In 2020, the US gave $3.8bn worth of aid to Israel - part of a long-term yearly commitment made by the Obama administration, which will run until 2028.

The vast majority of this aid is for military assistance, according to the Congressional Research Service. , external

The money has helped Israel develop one of the most advanced militaries in the world.

Israel has used the grants to buy F-35 aircraft, and in 2020, the US provided $500m for missile defence, including investments in Israel's Iron Dome system, which intercepts rockets.

Since 2011, the US has provided $1.6bn for the Iron Dome.

Since World War Two, Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of US foreign aid.

Meanwhile, President Biden has restored some funding ($235m) for the UN agency which helps Palestinian refugees - this funding was cut by the Trump administration in 2018.

Amid calls to improve training in the US, we examine how it compares with other developed countries.

High-resolution images of Israel and Gaza are available, so why not via public mapping tools?

We examine false and misleading claims from both sides that have been shared widely on social media.

Politicians debated the government's plans - set out in the Queen's Speech - and made a series of claims on subjects including hospital waiting lists and social care.

The president is hailing his economic progress since he came to office. We look at some of his claims.

Reality Check

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has just said government plans to introduce voter ID "will suppress turnout in elections and weaken democracy".

Earlier, Conservative MP and skills minister Gillian Keegan was explaining on BBC News why voters should be required to show identification at polling stations.

“If I go to collect a parcel at the Post Office now, I need to take my driving licence or my passport,” she said.

Actually, the Post Office, external has a long list of forms of identification it accepts, including a credit card, utility bill or marriage certificate.

The new system for voter ID is expected to be similar to the existing system in Northern Ireland, where photo ID is needed.

Passports, driving licences, various passes for public transport provider Translink and the free electoral identity cards are all accepted at polling stations.

Reality Check

The Queen's Speech includes a plan to require people to show an approved form of identification in order to vote. The government document cites Northern Ireland where voters have to show photo ID at polling stations.

The government says this would "tackle electoral fraud" and give voters "confidence that their vote is theirs, and theirs alone".

So, how widespread is the problem?

There are very few complaints about electoral fraud in the UK - and even fewer convictions.

In 2019, there were:

• an estimated 47 million people registered to vote
• 33 allegations of "personation" - the offence of pretending to be somebody else to vote
• one conviction and one caution

The government says it will pass a law requiring identification to vote.
