UK says hundreds of thousands of Britons abroad trying to get home

Hundreds of thousands of Britons abroad are still trying to get home, foreign minister Dominic Raab said on Monday, adding that the government was "working around the clock to help them".

"An unprecedented number of UK travelers are trying to get home, and we're not talking a few hundred or even a few thousand, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people traveling around the world," Raab said at a news conference.
