to support our economy. that means they do not know any more details or where they're going to get to the uk right now vast financial premises are whether flights are going to be. from the chancellor to help keep the tortoise to dissuade in the airport. all flights scheduled to business and families afloat. but national effort will be underpinned leave morocco could be suspended, so it isa by government interventions in the leave morocco could be suspended, so it is a scramble to get on flights economy on a scale unimaginable only back to britain. we are currently a few weeks ago. stuck here in morocco. unclear when this is not a time for ideology and orthodoxy. this is a time to be she'll get back to herjob in the nhs. we have been told that will get bold. today, and making available an a reschedule flight in august of initial £330 billion of guarantees from equivalent to 15% of our gdp. thatis a reschedule flight in august of that is unacceptable but we have to get home we have to get there as that means any business who needs access to cash to pay their rents, soon as get home we have to get there as soon as possible. by repatriating salary, suppliers, or purchase stock most people it's down to airlines. will be able to access a government—backed loans or credit on they are working urgently to make attractive terms. can you guarantee sure that they have sensible plans to firms who need to pay wages now to enable the return of british and and families who worry about paying other travellers to enable returns the rent now that they will not lose to take place on commercial flights whenever that is possible. in other

out while you work through the details of what comes next? do you know the outcome of the state parts of peru, british tourists are is asking people to do something to stuck. i cannot get of peru and they make very considerable changes to their lives, and it is only right, have cancelled all flights. the therefore, that the state should country is knocked down. it is very stand behind people as they make scary mainly for the fact that it is those changes. are they doing enough just a 14 day lockdown, it is not to stop the virus? number ten is very pleasant but i cannot get over changing the way it does business the uncertainty of what is going to too, have do coronavirus 19 to make happen and we cannot leave. we are decisions every day, then forwarded to committees to make things happen. worried about potential social unrest, supplies run low we have not businesses big and small might not have the luxury of time. the office of this sprite travel company is any food and of course we also worry about what happens if you get sick. already practically empty. i don't think borisjohnson realises that people are losing theirjobs right now. we have to put staff on the chancellor this afternoon unpaid leave with no certainty in what's going to happen in the next announced measures to support the few months. like the travel industry government through the coronavirus situation is even more precarious, outbreak prevention on a scale that this technical sounding isi announcements slamming the brakes on outbreak prevention on a scale that is i was unimaginable, only a few weeks ago. that includes loans of anyone leaving the country. we met with immediate i've taken the £300 billion which he said amounted

decision to revise british nationals to 15% of gdp. he tried to minimise against nonessential travel globally. for an initial period of the impact on the venues and if the three days and of course subject to insurance policies in place, which ongoing review. but the scale of covers pandemics, they will be able this, the reality of how many lives to make claims under government may be lost is hitting home. every action. for the smaller businesses in the sector who do not have yearin may be lost is hitting home. every year in seasonal flu, the insurance, they said they will may be lost is hitting home. every year in seasonalflu, the number of deaths is thought to be about 8000 provide cash grants and there will excess deaths, so if we can get this down to numbers 20,000 euros below, also be £10,000 for the smallest businesses. the business red holiday that's a good outcome in terms of announced in the budget that it would be extended to all businesses where we would hope to get to with for 12 months and for those in this outbreak, but it's still financial difficulty, they will offer a mortgage holiday. let us horrible. —— 20,000 or below. they've promised to take vast steps talk to craig, director of external to try to stop that turning into affairs and advocacy on the federation small businesses and we individual hardship for millions in are alsojoined by the coming months. taking on long term costs for the country. to try federation small businesses and we are also joined by the chief executive of the british beer and to stop a heavy and painful cost p0p executive of the british beer and pop association. hello to you both. being paid by families in the coming thank you forjoining us. talking to months. the need for help for the you, emma, what do you make of it

the government has announced today country's health in the country is the kind of thing that might give prospect wealth is acute. the people that you represent a reassurance is not a currency in sense of comfort? we as a sector do itself. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, realise that we are in unprecedented westminster. speaking in the times we welcome some of the measures that the chancellor commons, the shadow chancellor, john outlined but does not address the mcdonald said the government present a package of measures lacked the immediate cash flow problems that we certainty needed to call him a have within the sector and we need public anxiety and wouldn't help urgent actions to address those are workers who are already being laid some of those measures have been outlined on business rates and are off. i ask the chancellor to consider the chancellor to consider this urgently this evening. there very good, unfortunately they will was nothing in the statement to protect renters. will the not be in most of the business in two weeks' time and what is happening with pubs as they are chancellor, it affects us all, all facing to make these decisions in our constituents, will the chance of the next five to four hours, so we being forward urgently now, measures really need action from the to prevent —— to protect renters, government now to make sure that they are delivering and tackling prevent evictions, and enable rent that problem and we hope that will holidays for those people unable to meet their costs. will the hear more on a public specific bases about how they can help us directly chancellor puts powers in the with that problem stop by the legislation now to follow the chancellor did talk about providing cash grants for business there will example of some other countries as well. to freeze or suspend utility

bill payments on a statutory be cash grants for the smallest footing, because this is an businesses. will be going to local emergency. for those who have authorities in giving them out but how quickly can they do that when already lost theirjobs, let's be people are having to make decisions clear, the level and access to about their businesses literally in the next 24 hours. we are talking universal credit is unacceptable. the chancellor has said those about massive closures and tens of receiving universal credit can thousands of job losses receive an advance as a loan. this about massive closures and tens of thousands ofjob losses and by the end of this week, it is the is pushing people into decks, some immediacy of this, the time will of them, the poorest in our society. the cp ag has said can we make that ta ke to immediacy of this, the time will mum not repayable as a grandes? can take to roll them out, we stand ready to play our part in these i them to consider that? the unprecedented times that touches on chancellor has said, and i welcome every community is that valuable it, he will be to bring trade unions social asset, but we will not be to have her to look at a more able to do that if you do not have a sustainable package, we need to do viable business by the end of the that within days, not weeks. the week. is that your concern as well. shadow chancellor there, john mcdonald. so the government says it will do whatever it takes to protect the economy, how much will these these social distancing measures are unprecedented interventions help the shops, bars, restaurants and venues? which were already being hit hard by now. if you look at the health the restrictions. consumer affairs correspondent, sarah carter, reports from manchester. this part in measures that are escalating, to get

to the economic side as well, the manchester is trying to carry on, setting up for what would have been instalment of the budget on a lot of one of their busiest nights of the fronts for small businesses, and year. for owner, john, the stress is includes pubs and some things basis as well and today it was basically starting to show. what could the impact to be financially under the budget on steroids and that is a business and for? this is the worst third of £1 trillion, that is case scenario. telling people not to enormous and it is cute that that go to bars and restaurants and not gets to the right places and there giving us any support at this point of the day. it's a real noose around are some questions around that. there is a significant movement our necks. we've got 67 staff, what today and the government was very clear that the doors open to further are we doing? sorry. it hits that steps and further escalations. when it comes to business rates for plaintiff just are we doing? sorry. it hits that plaintiffjust tell us. as the example, the smallest businesses are going to get a financial cash grant of 3000 and i will be 10,000, a 10% economic impact of the coronavirus deepens, the hospitality sector has rate relief, so may up to the value. warned that thousands of businesses are now at risk of collapse. some pubs and clubs here in manchester that is really big on its own and then you add on the other elements have criticised the prime minister to iti for telling the public to stay away then you add on the other elements to it ijust think to give credit where it's due, we will want more.. but not forcing them to close, which they believe could have given them 0verall, where it's due, we will want more.. overall, it is great, but sorting it some financial protection, but the out for the money for tomorrow and

reality is, the most standard the next day in the next day, not in insurance policies don't cover forced closure by the authorities. a week's time, but now. there was a commitment with they said it will be 0ne forced closure by the authorities. one of manchester prospect largest available on monday, one think he a rts one of manchester prospect largest arts venues took the decision today, has done is used in existing schemes like many others across the uk, to andl has done is used in existing schemes and i think that is a really good shut their doors. staff were told idea, rather than come up with not to come into work from tomorrow. something new and not giving it to warren is a chef here. it's scary the businesses they needed would be an error. so using the system will you know? people in their... they probably be a good idea, the just don't know what to do. they've allowa nce probably be a good idea, the allowance comes in shortly as well which will be a boost to employment got mortgages, they've got kids to one of the business that don't have think about, rent. i've got your approach may be a month before i run out of money. the boss told me he this, and working out how on earth will keep paying his 200 staff until do you reduce the fixed costs of the money runs out, but the future employment, how do you look at all of the money that everyone of our looks precarious. i would be surprised if the theatre sector, the members is putting into insurance, cinema sector or indeed for digital that should all be gone, we should art sector survives in its current look at holidays and also ways that we can build on what is there and form. we've had tight tabs before, but nothing like this, this is actually, every assuring tone that possibly the greatest challenge our industry has ever faced. there is some help and more coming. we have never faced an economic are you reassured? i need to be able

fight like the. so a new package of financial support, including the to reassure my members companies business rates holiday for all that we are making decisions by the firms, every single shop, bar and end of this week. so monday could be restau ra nt firms, every single shop, bar and restaurant is a huge relief. too late and those who have done sooner too late and those who have done sooner will have gone up in the amazing. that's a real pleasure for biggest hole that we have seen is us, we amazing. that's a real pleasure for us, we are over the detail on the way to support amazing. that's a real pleasure for us, we are over £50,000. so that's really good for us. life here is that we are going to get from the government. coming in the coming continuing, but if these measures days that can be the biggest show anything, the months ahead will customer businesses want to make sure that we can keep as many of be extremely challenging for businesses and their staff. sarah those jobs as we possibly can, but we absolutely need that support and carter, bbc news, manchester. kate i were going to support those people that are going to be given those. nichols is the chief executive of uk hospitality of the trade association i were going to support those people that are going to be given thosem is notjust that are going to be given thosem is not just about the government. for britain's hospitality sector, shejoins us now for a start, we all have a for britain's hospitality sector, she joins us now from west london. responsibility to do it we can bus that evening to you and thank you for being with us. what did you pick up responsibility to do it we can bus up to talk to people like the banks so when we want help from the banks out of the chancellor's statement there will be a presumptive yes and that made you feel a little bit more many small business is in distress competent about the future for your and close the bank, that is what we members? i think there were two need. all big businesses the pay all things that i took from the statement that gave me great their invoices and ones worry about confidence. the first was a clear should be 30 days to pay, no, you

statement from the chancellor and the prime minister that they would do whatever it took to get us our should be 30 days to pay, no, you should pay right now any invoice businesses and crucially our workers right now, businesses that needed through this short sharp economic it, isn'tjust right now, businesses that needed it, isn't just about waiting for the government to confer the right plan, i think we offer a responsibility to shock, and secondly that was the push forward. thank you very much promise of more to come. i think we need to see that in the next couple of days, not the next couple of indeed forjoining us. thank you. weeks, if we are to make sure that weeks, if we are to make sure that we can protect workers particularly 0nce indeed forjoining us. thank you. hourly paid workers and businesses once again, the bbc has been flooded that are otherwise having to close. with questions from all of you about so we went to work with the the virus of a new government government to look at those measures restrictions on social contact, our to protect the employees within our health correspondent as been finding sector and make sure that those on out some of the answers. i am about our shortest term contracts with the lowest pay can have the security to to do some shopping for mac at risk continue paying their bills and to have a reliable income. so the rates self and my 90 plus mothering wall, holiday it, business rates holiday dashed mother—in—law. up to 72 for instance, the possibility of a cash grant of £25,000. these were hours, so if you want to be sure things that you think will help that you are shopping and it isn't facilities will undoubtedly help. contaminated, you have to soap and they give us a breathing space to be water. should i go to a wedding this able to keep the business is a lie. weekend? sadly, the answer is no, i think it means that businesses you should not go to weddings or

won't close and moved to shut fully, have co nta ct you should not go to weddings or have contact with others unless it but they will have to shatter for a is essential. there's a penalty if period of time while we are in you do, but the danger is that even social isolation. while we have got if you are not ending at risk group, no income coming in, it's very you might unknowingly pass the virus difficult to pay staff. so the on to someone who is. is it safe to business rates holiday, the loans, grants, the possibility of the ta ke on to someone who is. is it safe to details of that been forthcoming, take anti—inflammatory drugs like they may be coming in the next couple of weeks, we are talking ibuprofen. anti—inflammatory drugs about days before we have to make may weaken the unused systems which decisions on staffing, as some of are trained to fight off the virus, the people in the video clip were talking about. so, yes, hugely it isa are trained to fight off the virus, it is a theory at the moment. we do not know if it is true but the welcome breathing space, it will sensible thing is to take help the hospitality industry survive. we now need to prioritise paracetamol and workers and people who might be at risk of redundancy. what else would instead. what is the advice for you have liked to have heard the chancellor say? he has made it clear that there will be more families with newborn babies, announcements over the next few days, what more do you want him to especially where sibling still have to attend school? it is an anxious say? well, i think, days, what more do you want him to say? well, ithink, crucially, there was the promise of a bold package of time for parents, but the advice is employment measures to support those not changed in school children like people who are in businesses that all of us are to wash their hands are closed. if we look across regularly, even if a new mum has the europe, a large number of foreign

virus, she should stay with her baby and breast—feeding is thought to be governments have encouraged businesses to keep low—paid workers, safe. i have been there once a on the payroll and to facilitate a fortnight and saying is it's safe to welfare payment through the payroll to make sure that those workers go along the beach instead? it is not safe to walk close together, receive it immediately and don't evenif have any break in their employment, not safe to walk close together, even if you're outside, you need to and we be working with the be at least two metres apart but government to find a way of doing staying in touch with the support that. if best way to alleviate the group by using technology could be concerns about rents, bills, income, really important for your mental mortgages, is to make sure we can health. you can find out more about keep those people in employment, we can keep a flow of income going the symptoms of coronavirus not to through to them through the payroll. protect yourself on the bbc news app so we would like to work with the and on our website which is bbc government on those employment measures. indeed. so, you know, da kota d ot and on our website which is bbc dakota dot uk, for its news. benefits payments are a fraction of what a lot of people in the sector can actually make. some people are going to be going short. you will new restrictions of coming to force absolutely. but we will commit as this morning and in france, no one employers to making sure that that can now leave home without a money will be there. government form that they print out we will pay that straight through. to justify their reason for the next if we don't keep people in employment, we will have hundreds of two weeks and they are only allowed out to go to work to buy essential thousands of people being made redundant in the next couple of food or medical supplies for a weeks, and the welfare system will

be able to cope. suppose people will family emergency. 0r get payments immediately, when they food or medical supplies for a family emergency. or to exercise or walk a dog but they must be on their are desperately needing it. if we own, if their cutouts in front could have a sensible employment another reason, they could get package that had a salary subsidy fined. like other governments have done, before the quarantine, the fever. then we can make sure that those as france inched towards lockdown, supermarkets became barometers people get help immediately, and we of the nation's fear. alleviate the worst concerns, so that we don't have this public health crisis turning into an the government had complained that economic crisis for people at a very people were ignoring the threat of coronavirus. real and individual level. 0k, we're but attitudes here are changing. to get there. thank you. thank you. that's get a little bit translation: i'm scared. i've got three kids, more analysis now with the i'm here to buy the basics. chancellors announcements, and trained by pauljohnson, director of i'm afraid for myself and for my children. last night, president macron the institute for physical studies. announced a general confinement thank you so much for being with us. of france's population, what did you make of the from midday today. announcements, the headline figure, translation: for at least the next £330 billion of governments 15 days, our movements will be seriously reduced. underwritten guarantees? well, i agree very underwritten guarantees? well, i agree very much with what kate it means that outside nichols was saying, and for the gatherings or meeting friends hospitality sector, this will and family won't be permitted. provide some lump sum it supports, going for a walk, meeting friends but it's not going to be providing in the park or in the street,

anything that's going to persuade them to keep on their staff for a won't be possible. all infractions to these long period of time. so there is a rules will be punished. it's just gone midday here, series of helpful things they are on the new rules have come into force cash payments and business rates and and there are still a few people out on the champs—elysees. 48 hours ago, the government was that sector, the 330 billion of loan telling people to come out to vote. now it's saying, stay underwriting is something that will in your homes unless it's essential, or face a fine. hopefully help keep alive businesses within minutes of the deadline, from our range of sectors who will extra police were out questioning be able to access finance over this people still on the streets. period and will be underwritten if they can't pay it back. so that 100,000 officers have been deployed to enforce the new rules. should and can help businesses to today's deadline sparked survive, it will necessarily help a last—minute rush them through keeping staff on the to leave the capital. books, and it will still mean that polls suggest a sudden jump in anxiety here. some of those businesses, even if normality, no longer a barrier they can make use of the loans, they to this crisis, is disappearing. and france instead is learning might otherwise, if they haven't had to have the loans be long—term, to manage its fear. successful businesses, but with the burden of the loans, because they are still loans, that may turn them into businesses that aren't —— won't survive into the longer run. the big despite all the turmoil, schools and

question for the government is how much of that 330 billion will be nurseries remain open, the prime minister said he was keeping it used, and then how much of it will under continuous review. the union be paid back? so there's a big is urging the government to close insurgency about how effective it all schools, at least for some time. will be, and how much the long—term 0ur education secretary. cost to the public purse will be stuck with a lot of questions at the trying to make it fun, but schools press conference this afternoon from are struggling to keep safe and journalists to vichy sumac about the teachers are anxious too. it does seem that everyone fa ct journalists to vichy sumac about the fact that these were loans. doesn't has been asked to make sense for it to be loans, is socially distance the best way to do this do you think? there is certainly a case for except for children at school, and also the pa rt of think? there is certainly a case for part of the package to come in the teachers and the staff. form of loans. you support a at this school, they are three teachers down business now, and if they are already. successful later on, they pay it by tomorrow, classes may merge and staying open looks back. now, you might want to do it increasingly doubtful. on an income contingent basis, so you might sorta pay a higher rates the government says that for now, of corporation tax on your profits, keeping schools open is the right approach. for example, has a way of paying it but with everyone else being told back, rather than the normal loan to avoid crowded places, type turns. so some elements of loan it has left many teachers and packaging there i think it does make parents confused and some families sense, but as i said, i think there are simply keeping their

isa sense, but as i said, i think there children off school. is a risk that standard loans of it is down by about 30% this kind may result in some and still falling, and i can businesses not being viable into the understand why parents are concerned. long run, businesses that would've while they keep lessons going, been viable, have they not how to head teachers want advice access those loans because of the that keeps up with reality. current situation. we are expecting some schools are already more announcements from the partially closing. chancellor's office in relation to so what would a school closure all of this over the next few days. mean for parents here? were you surprised that there was no at the moment i am able mention of what is now a fairly to work from home. my partner isn't yet sizeable parts of the british at that stage where economy, and that's the big economy, he can with hisjob, so it will be tricky. people who are freelancers, via delivery drivers and so on, no mention about how they potentially could be supported. there were lots i have already started stocking up on activities so that they have got things to do. of gaps in the chancellor's but i am lucky, there announcements, and he did say he is are lots of people in the school going to come back with more coming who are friends of mine and it's important to get these who are working and it things right. it needs to be quick will be harderfor them. closing schools would be a massive step, one that the government says but it also needs to be right in the it is not yet ready to take. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. terms of the sort of announcements we get. i think he needed to say let's ta ke let's take a look at some of the something specifically about the other news. suspended vehicle hospitality sector after the prime

northern ireland, especially scotla nd northern ireland, especially scotland for a touch of frost and and everything, and what that means places and showers in northern is we are receiving zero income, scotla nd places and showers in northern scotland and relatively low at the because we rely completely on box risk of ice going into the morning office takings to survive and and for the showers coming in tomorrow in a blustery wind and donations from a very kind donors. sunny spells here in northern so, therefore, we are all operating ireland and slowly drying up and on zero income at the moment, and brightening up in parts of northern it's really scary. we don't know how england in north wales as the band many months the theatre can survive of cloud sinks a for the south like this. yes, terence, if bands during the day in the far southeast, or breezy day with some gusts of are extreme, you're in trouble. yes, wind and average speeds gusting at 60 mph in the far north of scotland. we certainly are. we've gone from a very mild the force of scotland. position of having £1 million of very mild the force of scotland. very mild the force of scotland. very mild before southeast but cooler days or northern england in forward bookings for the transportation of the beginning of north wales. la st transportation of the beginning of last week to today having nothing, nothing in the schedule at all for march and for april. honestly, much like cats, we got fixed up with our staff or salaries at 60,000 a month contract workers on top of that, we've got to pay other fixed costs, rent, insurance, finance costs. we,

like every other transportation company in the entertainment industry, we are basically staring over the precipice to a disaster. yeah, i mean it directly make our whole industry could be wiped out to. caps, you were nodding there, the government has announced today a huge draft of measures in terms of loa ns huge draft of measures in terms of loans potentially, £25, 000 hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. huge draft of measures in terms of loans potentially, £25,000 advances as cash grants that might help tide big measures to help businesses and workers struggling as the virus continues to spread you over. that sounds like the kind of thing that might help. well, it's complicated, if you're still trying to work it out, because alone is the coronavirus pandemic is still alone, and when you are a public health emergency, but it is operating at the zero income from a may save you now, but we don't know also an economic emergency. we have never in peacetime faced how many months this might go on for. yet we just got back we have no economic fights like this one is. we don't want people losing theirjobs and not having money to live when idea, insurance, whether that's actually anything that can be they were doing very welljust four claimed on. most theatres in england weeks ago. so we are going big, and have no core funding, and most that's the way it will be. insurers don't actually cover events as customers dry up, businesses are hoping what's been like this. so we have no idea if announced will help them survive potentially months under lockdown.

eu leaders have agreed to close these loans or if these advances are europe's borders for 30 days actually going to help in the long to prevent the spread of the virus. run. so it's alljust got back we are playing it day by day, and hour by hour really. terrence, did you have any insurance for this kind of thing does make because there must beissues thing does make because there must be issues regularly, one would've thought, with bands perhaps not being able to tour, singers have a sore throat or whatever it is blue well, there are. there is business interruption insurance for us as a business, but it doesn't scupper pandemics. nobody else in our sector, we are in regular contact with the transportation sector, we have insurance that will cover for that either. the bands themselves to have insurance, some of them will be cove red, insurance, some of them will be covered, some of them won't. the message that we are hearing from most of them is that they are not cove red. most of them is that they are not covered. so they are having to shoulder the botched cancellations themselves. caps, what are you going to do? b don't know. we are all very

scared. at the moment, we are having to ask our patrons to kindly rather than have a refund if they are willing to give a ticket price that they bought as a donation. to help us they bought as a donation. to help us keep going in these times. of course, that's not a but it's where we are at the moment. we're just trying to work with our audiences, and with our artists to make sure all of us who are self—employed actually have a future in this industry and can afford our brands and our way of life. the old vic theatre made a similar plea to patrons as well. after counselling a performance —— cancelling a performance. terrence, what you thank you are going to do? well, look, we are really hoping that the governments are going to cut out with some kind of grand system or a way of... that's what we really needed the moment, in what we are really concerned about his being able to pay our staff, making sure they are looked after. we have also beenin they are looked after. we have also been in touch with the nhs, we have offered our buses as temporary

accommodation outside hospitals, because front—line staff are going to be exhausted in coming weeks and months, and it makes sense to have temporary accommodation for them as hospitals, so we're hoping to hear back from them on that. we are basically exploring every option we have, the loans... possible grants... we are looking at everything to try to get through this, but i have never come across anything like it. good luck to you both. let us hope that something can be worked out so that something can be worked out so that you can, keep your business is going. thank you. time to look at all the weather.
