to the coronavirus pandemic. the announcement from joining us now is lisa the local government secretary came minot, travel editor after council leaders warned they may have to consider "extreme" at the sun newspaper. measures to cut costs. this report from our political correspondent, nick eardley. thank you for being with us on your close, like many parts of the questions answered at this time. i country, council facilities have been shut, starving local authorities of cash. just as they didn't realise, we have got a second face extra pressure to pay for guest! victoria bacon is from the things like social care, and to support vulnerable communities travel association abta. through the crisis. this afternoon we are going to take them in order. the government said it would make extra money available for councils in england. today i'm providing an let's start with lisa. this question additional £1.6 billion of new says... funding to support councils. we are my wife and i are due to go on holiday to south africa backin at the end of august. we didn't book it funding to support councils. we are back in councils to make sure vital through a travel agent. services such as adult social care, should we cancel? children services, support for the it depends whether they would like most vulnerable, and waste collection, continue, despite the to use the money. technically, according to government advice which increased pressures. there will be is against all but essential travel

extra cash to spend in scotland, indefinitely, that means that if they have taken out travel insurance wales and northern ireland as well, they have taken out travel insurance they should be able to claim on the but money is being spent quickly. travel insurance for any of their council leaders say a similar amount losses because of this indefinite of emergency funding announced last month has already gone. everyone amount of time before we are being told we are allowed to travel again. it might mean that companies are will have spent the first tranche of cash ina quite difficult to get your money will have spent the first tranche of cash in a couple of months, and i don't think anyone thinks it is only back from. we are seeing a lot of going to last a certain amount of companies dragging their heels, i'm time so councils will start to not giving out those refunds either go bankrupt or will have to anywhere near as quickly as people start heavily rationing services. should have them. thank you very this is another reminder of the massive economic impact the shutdown is having, on individuals and much for that. let's move on, now. communities. and the bill the this will be of interest to abta. government is facing is mounting. the huge amounts of money already promised to businesses and to try my forthcoming cruise holiday and keep people injobs. but with was cancelled by the travel company — they have offered me credit to use those extra pressures on local for a future cruise. authorities, and fears that some will my insurance still be valid? won't be able to pay their council tax compounding the funding problem, the important thing here is if you some fear the extra money announced today will not be enough. the have been offered a credit note, if

streets being cleaned this afternoon you have the correct kind of may be quieter but important local paperwork behind that credit note. services continue. in one way or we at abta have issued agnes mass to another they have to be paid for. make sure that people have as much clarity as possible to make sure a government minister has said today about that credit note is that there appears to be financially protected. so, for a disproportionate impact of the virus on those example, that credit note should from black, asian, and minority have a clear expiry date on it, it ethnic backgrounds. it comes as the bbc understands should include all of the original that the government review into the impact of the virus booking conditions and reference to on people from the bame the original booking because the community will ask credit note is effectively a note public health england to track which will provide additional time corona virus cases by ethnicity. here's our community affairs an order for you to maintain your correspondent rianna croxford. rights to a refund, so at the end of because, without him, that credit note, or indeed you can do nothing. therefore, if you don't put on a sylvia douglas was an 82—year—old pastor and grandmother day, you will still maintain your from slough. right your refund, so that is an she tested positive for coronavirus, and died in hospital at important point. the other thing i the beginning of this month. would say about that government advisory piece around the all but they called me, video called me from the hospital essential advice, advise against on the thursday, so i saw her. nonessential travel, that has been i prayed with her and prayed introduced and can be taken away at any time, so my advice to customers for her, and i said, you are looking really strong, aunt. you're going to come through this. with bookings further afield, at

i can see you struggling this stage, is to sit tight and wait to breathe, but you look really, really well to see what happens. we don't know otherwise, and very strong. what is going to be happening by the end ofjuly or august. we are not "you will come through this." i was really surprised, sure what the situation is going to shocked, to say the be. so it is important to keep an least, when a few hours eye on that travel advice from the later i was informed that she had actually passed. foreign office. the lord giveth and i did not expect that at all. research shows that people of black, asian and minority ethnic heritage are being disproportionately affected by coronavirus. only 14% of people in england the lord ta keth foreign office. the lord giveth and the lord taketh away, so this and wales are from these government! when elderly couple of backgrounds, yet they currently make up 34% of patients in my acquaintance don't want to go on critical care units. a cruise holiday again because of bbc news analysis of reports all the stories about coronavirus in the public domain show almost spreading easily cruise ships. three quarters of 51 health regardless of the offer of credit, care workers who have died are from ethnic people just want their money back minority backgrounds. because they don't want to commit to you have a higher proportion a future cruise? if your cruise of bame population working in key roles such as transport, taxi drivers, bus holiday can't go ahead through no drivers, shopkeepers, supermarkets. thought of your own and, in the all of which are necessary situation that relates to the in the lockdown to provide foreign office advice, then you will essential services. be entitled either to get your money and in addition, of course,

back or do book another holiday so care and health care workers. in that instance, if this couple are while there are many factors, it's clear more data is needed. up, if they have been given a credit the bbc understands that the government has asked note or not, i don't know, then you public health england to start tracking coronavirus cases and deaths by ethnicity. should be entitled to a cash refund. can you confirm this, and will this data be made publicly available so that further i would say, i completely understand why at the moment everyone is being deaths can be prevented? a bit shocked and am very nervous there does appear, as you say, about holidays and what this all to be a disproportionate means. we are right in the eye of the storm at the moment with this impact of the virus upon bame pandemic. what we have got to bear communities in the uk, and we've in mind is that we will at some point come out of the other side, also seen that in some other and we are still going to want to countries around the world, as well. and it's for that reason ta ke and we are still going to want to take holidays again. it is to try that the chief medical officer commissioned work from and maintaina take holidays again. it is to try and maintain a sense of perspective if we can. i know that is difficult, public health england to better understand this issue. but to maintain as a sense of sylvia's family hope more answers will come soon. perspective and follow the health rianna croxford, bbc news. advice. are you getting a lot of us from readers of the sun, as travel vladimir putin has warned russians that, editor, concerns about whether they as the number of coronavirus cases wa nt to editor, concerns about whether they want to go cruising in future, and rises, covid—19 continues to pose a high risk to his country.

is the industry trying to rely on russia has seen its biggest daily my? is the industry trying to rely on increase in the number un is the industry trying to rely on my? sun readers have always been of confirmed coronavirus cases, huge fans of cruise holidays. and i up nearly 5,000 from yesterday. our moscow correspondent think they still want to take those steve rosenberg has this report. holidays but i can understand if you rarely has moscow felt so calm... are elderly or vulnerable you might be worried about getting on a cruise so quiet... ship and my advice would be to speak to your travel insurance provider, so empty... if you've got travel insurance, the fa ct if you've got travel insurance, the fact that you are vulnerable, you in lockdown, a city of 12 million might be able to claim back some of people, so peaceful. but not everywhere. the money through that. and just negotiate with the travel company themselves. as i keep pointing out, on the edge of moscow, you have got those conditions, you ambulances queue outside a hospital that is treating covid—19. are worried about your health, and see if they were come to an the crews had to wait more than nine understanding. this one also to you, hours to bring in their patients. lisa, this is from h pattinson.. just look at this line. it's a sign of a national emergency. at another facility, doctors i am currently stuck in tampa, are preparing for their shift florida after docking here with a cruise ship. in the coronavirus ward. there are many other britons who are now stranded.

we are unable to book flights home with moscow the epicentre because of us travel restrictions. of the outbreak, the hospital is already overcapacity. what rights do we have? the government two weeks ago announced they were setting up an but its head doctor airline repatriation scheme using is used to emergencies. he was a paramedic in chernobyl. some of the big airlines, like british airways. we should by now translation: the pressure on us has increased. we're getting around 150 have heard something. i'm surprised new patients every day. that we have still got such large we're not at breaking point yet, numbers are broad. in the first but we are getting close. insta nce numbers are broad. in the first instance you should be contacting when gyorgi got sick with suspected coronavirus the british embassy or consulate in and was struggling to breathe... florida i'm saying that they need to he coughs. be being brought home because they should be repatriated through this ..twice he called for government scheme, at the moment. an ambulance but none came. the system was overloaded. translation: when i did get this one is for you victoria, from to hospital it was like watching a conveyor belt, ambulances constantly coming and going, bringing in new patients. gary. i had booked to go on a package holiday to corfu in may which has the strain on the system is close to catastrophic. now been cancelled by the agents. i decided to go back home. most of the patients tui has said that i can't ask for a cash refund until i receive an email from them were sicker than me. offering refund credit. this pandemic is putting an enormous strain on public health systems i'm concerned about how long this everywhere, including russia. may go on for — am i best to chase officials here are warning that the money through my

moscow could run out of hospital beds for coronavirus patients credit card company? presumably he did actually book it within two weeks. ona presumably he did actually book it on a credit company so should he go for the president, this through there, rather than through epidemic is the biggest challenge he has faced. tui. it is a bit confusing the way it's already forced vladimir putin the e—mail question is phrased. to postpone the annual may 9th tui. it is a bit confusing the way the e—mail question is phrasedm normal circumstances, there is a 14 victory parade on red square, huge celebrations for the 75th anniversary of the end of world war ii now on hold. day turnaround on cash refunds but at the moment we have a situation and in moscow the lockdown where hundreds of thousands of is tightening. holidays can no longer go ahead so to use a car or public transport there are conversations happening you now need a digital permit. all the time with travel companies and members of the public around the aim is to slow the spread of the virus by keeping more what is happening with my booking, muscovites off the streets. and the pressure on travel company steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. is to provide all of those cash refunds within that 14 day period is as the outbreak continues to affect just proving completely impossible all parts of the uk — for many of them to fulfil. some of we've been hearing from frontline health workers them have, some of them are taking a bit longer than that, but the about the challenges they face. our health correspondent important thing is that you get the catherine burns is keeping in touch

with a range of staff — and has right paperwork, if you haven't had asked them to keep video diaries. that refund within that 14 day today, we catch up with alice pallot, period, because the key thing is a nurse in intensive that you do not lose your right to a care in southampton. refund, which is essential. tui are she's worked in intensive care for a year so alice pallot is used offering refunds, credit notes, which will give you assurance around to looking after some of the very your right to a refund being sickest people, but says at the minute every shift preserved, it willjust take longer than 14 days. look at the dates that feels like a double. are, the expiry dates, on those. coffee, essential. i've got my lunch for the day since we are mentioning a travel and i'm ready to go. she has had a few days off company, and this is a general question, i need to be clear about that, if we have companies that go so is feeling and ready. under, during this next few months, and it's quite possible that may happen. we know that we have had walking up to the entrance now, id at the ready, plenty of other struggling businesses and holiday businesses and find out are businesses and holiday businesses a re clearly where i'm going to be. businesses and holiday businesses are clearly being hit hard, anybody this is the paediatric in the tourist industry in this unit which we are now country as well, and they are abta using for adult beds. mask on, visor at the ready. members, with all of those the patients alice is caring guarantees and protections continue, for all have coronavirus so when she comes out

would abta members effectively of the intensive care unit she has to take her personal protective underwrite these kinds of losses?m equipment or ppe off very carefully so she doesn't contaminate herself. travel the protection comes with a she has to remove it in a certain order, booking you have. typically package washing her hands at every stage. holidays have the greatest level of it takes about six minutes in all. now time for a tea break. protection. that financial protection. that financial protection comes either through abta after her cuppa, she has or more to start all over again. protection comes either through abta or more commonly protection comes either through abta or more commonly through atol which covers flight holidays, abta covers this effectively becomes your cruise and coach holidays, that sort skin for however many of thing. so it depends what kind of hours we are in there. alice is helping to look after three people on this shift. booking you have got. if you book a they are all under 60 years of age. flight booking you have got. if you book a flight on its own you will not have two are on ventilators, heavily sedated so the machine that same level of protection. what can breathe for them. we are seeing at the moment, it is i've been in full ppe for the last three hours, quite an important distinction that feeling a bit hot and a bit tired, you have a lot of tour operators and so ready for a cup of tea now. travel agents who, themselves, are a positive end to this shift is that the patient i've been waiting to get money back from their looking after today has actually suppliers, typically the airlines done so well that he's probably going to be heading to a ward and hotels, and that is why they are in the next couple of hours seeing this cash crunch in order to and from there they will be process refunds. however, those able to start thinking about discharging him home. the nicest part of the process companies, if you have a certificate today is that he was able

to call his wife himself. from atol, if you have picked up a i want people to know that package holiday you have financial in intensive care we don't look protection so in the event that company fails, you would get a after numbers or statistics. refund. the challenge is going to we look after people that have be, clearly, the amount of time things take. so it is unbelievably names, people that have family. i think it's so easy to become numb and desensitised to the statistics that we're seeing and i think challenging in these circumstances, with the epidemic, but you will have it is just important that fundamental right to a refund that at the heart of all this it's ofa that fundamental right to a refund of a package holiday. thank you for people, its human relations. that, and thank you dugarry for the alice says she is feeling under pressure at work but knows it is not question. matthew asks... going to carry on forever. catherine burns, bbc news. i booked a cruise holiday that's it — we're back at 10pm. which was cancelled but the company involved are only offering credit to book another cruise now on bbc one it's time but i want a full refund. for the news where you are. 00:17:44,091 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 goodbye. what is the legal answer? legally they need to look at their terms and conditions. it doesn't make in this question whether he booked directly with a cruise company or through a third party, a

travel agent or online cruise agent. it is the distinction of who you have given your money too. you need to ask them for a refund and check what their refund policies are. if it is because the cruise has been cancelled you should be getting that refu nd cancelled you should be getting that refund and it is very wrong of companies to be taking their time in the way that they are, to refund people, but i can actually understand, at the same time, if you wa nt understand, at the same time, if you wantan understand, at the same time, if you want an industry to return to when we finally can start booking again, there has to be some leeway and if people can just afford to take that rebooking as credit that will help companies through a difficult time and when this finally does come to and when this finally does come to an end, to ensure that we still have got companies to go on holiday with. it isa got companies to go on holiday with. it is a real dilemma. because people have taken it is a real dilemma. because people have ta ken flight, it is a real dilemma. because people have taken flight, perfectly understandably, may be for health reasons or the practicalities or the fear of what was happening if they we re fear of what was happening if they were stuck out there for six weeks when i was supposed to be out for

two, and! when i was supposed to be out for two, and i haven't got my medicine and that kind of thing, all understandable, but at the same time, there might not be companies to come back to you at all, if we don't engage in a bit of give and take. this question is from jackie griffiths, victoria. i booked several flights with a budget—airline. they have promised to refund some but not all of the flights so far but have yet to do so. what rights do i have if the airline goes bust? this refers to what i was saying before. if you book a flight on its own it does not come with its own level of financial protection is a package holiday. so, in that instance, your best course of action will be to look to your credit card company or travel insurer. many travel insurance policies provide, although not also have to check the terms of the travel insurance in that instance, but your credit card company, if you have book by credit card, if it is over £100, the cost of the fight, you should be able to

make a claim through the credit card company. again, that would depend. it sounds like they are offering some sort of voucher system so it depends on that airline actually going bust before you can make that claim. victoria, i want to just underline this. some people are still not clear about this in their own minds. why is there a distinction between booking with debit card, and booking with credit card? it comes out of the law, the consumer credit act which covers this. it is worth asking the question. some debit cards will cover that, but you cannot have the same sort of guarantee, if you like that you get with a credit card. i'm quite a lot of people don't understand that it has to be a minimum spend so if your flight is cheaper than that, it isn't the same protection. that is why we recommend

that you take out travel insurance, as well. that credit card, debit ca rd as well. that credit card, debit card thing is interesting, i didn't know some debit cards would help you with this. it is worth shopping around? yes, always check whether travel insurance, credit cards, anything of that nature, check it, yes. we are going to have to leave it there. thank you both very much. i hope you both have happy landings sooner rather than later. thank you for joining sooner rather than later. thank you forjoining us your questions answered. we have a tweet by nurse emma.

we were running low on scrubs at work. my mum heard about this, and posted me some that she had made herself. there she is wearing those scrubs. and ifound there she is wearing those scrubs. and i found the there she is wearing those scrubs. and ifound the hidden message on the trouser leg. my eyesight wasn't quite good enough to be able to spot that. it says four letters, h—e—r—o! thank you very much to your mum for the imposition —— improvisation. time now for the weather. not expecting any change in scotland. a fairamount of expecting any change in scotland. a fair amount of sunshine today and plenty of blue skies to look out upon tomorrow. at least where there has been cloud today, elsewhere, there has been some useful rain after what so far in april has been after what so far in april has been a very dry month. high pressure is now building back across the uk.

that means a lot of dry weather in the forecast. still a bit of rain to be had for some overnight, keeping some cloud with showers running into walls east anglia, lincolnshire, parts of yorkshire and the midlands but elsewhere in england, wales and northern ireland, it will be dry, and where you have had some rain, some low cloud on the eastern coast of scotland, lots of clear skies in scotla nd of scotland, lots of clear skies in scotland and northern parts of northern england allowing for a touch of frost in a few places. starting sunday with a chance of a shower in cornwall and pembrokeshire, soon clearing away, but still some cloud around southern and western england through wales and western england through wales and northern ireland. then some sunny spells in the afternoon. much of northern england and scotland will have a mostly sunny afternoon. temperatures holding back a little along north seacoast with a freshening easterly breeze but when you are exchanging today's cloud for tomorrows sunshine, if you're going tomorrows sunshine, if you're going to be outside at all it is great if you were my. high pressure in control for monday. the isobars
