1:01 pm
will be remembered, but for very different reasons. people and businesses in england are waiting anxiously to hear how the lockdown will start to be unlocked. driving around the island, i can say the aviation industry is reeling from a huge drop in travel under that, this afternoon, the weather is coronavirus restrictions. the group representing major airlines across pretty good, there will be some the uk is concerned about the impact if, from the end of this month, most socially distanced celebrations and people arriving into the country have to self—isolate for m days. people arriving into the country have to self—isolate for 14 days.“ this is the scientific advice then, garden and around homes. the message absolutely, we will accept that, the from the bailiff said it all, that health and safety of our passengers the spirit that saw channel is paramount but this will have a islanders through occupation he very significant impact on our sector and much hopes will see them through the nobody is going to want to travel if they have to go into quarantine for current pandemic. 14 days. it is not clear how long a robert, thank you. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 5:15pm. goodbye. new restriction would be in place good afternoon. many of us are and whether non—uk residents would be allowed to stay in rented private enjoying another warm accommodation. a conference call between the aviation minister and at the moment, unfortunately we airline and airport representatives is expected to take place tomorrow to discuss more detail. if the don't have any detail.
1:02 pm
government has had medical advice hello. you're watching the bbc which determines that this measure is needed at the moment, we look news with carrie gracie. airports have called for urgent clarification from the government forward to seeing that, but we about proposals to quarantine people for 14 days when they arrive in the uk. should be under no illusion that the sector has been told to expect this will have a very dramatic the measure to come into force impact on our sector and just make at the end of this month. earlier i spoke to karen dee, it much more difficult for aviation chief executive of the airport 0perators association, the trade association representing to restart following the lockdown the interests of uk airports. i asked her what she thought that we have had. it's thought key about the idea. at the moment, unfortunately workers such as lorry drivers and we don't have any detail. so at the moment, all we know is, people who work in shipping would be as you know, it is proposed exempt, but it's unclear how the that there will be a 14—day quarantine rules would apply to passengers for incoming passengers. arriving by sea. meanwhile, businesses hope to hear in the and i think our view is that, coming days whether the furlough scheme could be extended beyond the if the government has had medical advice which determines that this end ofjune in some form. that is measure is needed at the moment, something some firms which face a we look forward to seeing that, long path back to normality have but they should be under no illusion long path back to normality have long been asking for. katy austin, that this will have a very dramatic bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardley is here. the prime minister will be impact on our sector. outlining the next stages of the lockdown tomorrow. and just make it much more difficult but from what we hear from the first for aviation to restart minister of wales, those stages may following the lockdown that we've had.
1:03 pm
be modest. yes, all of the signs so 0bviously many countries have far that the changes we are going to had these quara ntines, we were just hearing from austria. see in the next few days will be what makes the uk different? to date, we have not had extremely limited. downing street quarantine measures in the uk, has been at pains to point out that and that was based on the advice frompublic health england. i think it'll be interesting to see the approach taken by borisjohnson, which will cover england, will be extremely cautious and if we look at the measures that have been how that has changed. introduced already in different parts of they suggest introduced already in different parts of - they suggest just parts of the uk, they suggestjust that, too. so, garden centres but clearly, if the medical advice reopening in england and wales. the says that that is necessary, lifting of the once—a—day exercise then of course we have to go with that. cap in wales, we know scotland and i think what we are keen to understand, though, is, northern ireland are discussing is this a blanket proposal similar options. now, there could be slightly different approaches in for all countries? different parts of the uk but wales' first minister mark drakeford telling the bbc this morning he our view is that we must see thinks they will be broadly the a credible exit strategy. this can't be unending, and it should be based on the risk same. all of this, of course, to people coming in. because politicians across the uk are worried that this virus isn't we are really keen to work with government to understand that, to develop that exit strategy, com pletely are worried that this virus isn't completely under control and easing and also then to ensure that restrictions too soon could lead to aviation has the kind of support it another peak, so the process of needs so that we can continue to be coming out of lockdown is likely to prepared for when we are able be gradual and unlikely to be quick. nick, thank you. to reopen and restart the economy.
1:04 pm
government guidance for the hospitality industry says that bars, restaurants and cafes must remain closed even as the economy starts to open up. we were jest hearing from bethany in vienna about labs at the airport those working in the night time to do the immediate arrival testing economy, which is worth for passengers who are coming in, £70 billion a year, say if they choose to do that. without more financial help, do you think that would be thousands of venues an option that would remove will never re—open. the quarantine need, and, if they are allowed to, strict or limit the quarantine need, and make it more possible for international restrictions will stay in place. travel to continue? our consumer affairs correspondent sarah corker reports. manchester's busy canalside bars that's a really during a normal summer. interesting proposition. one of the things we have been and now. keen to start working on with the government when crowds are the enemy, is to understand, given that social distancing, once you got lots of passengers, our social spaces must change. is really not going to be practical in airports any more than it it's just such a strange thing that, in our bar, would be in public transport, that would usually have 100 people we are keen to see what other kinds comfortably on a saturday, you will of measures could be as effective be going to two, four, six... to ensure that our staff ..ten? at this gin distillery and passengers can travel safely. and restaurant in the city centre, social distancing will mean fewer customers. is that financially viable? so it could be testing, could you trade on that? it could be facemasks, and gloves, or other kind of sanitising without support, no, we couldn't. measures, but at the moment, we'd scrape by but it wouldn't pay we are not medics, what we need
1:05 pm
is to work with government, the rent, you'd have to talk about and develop an international renegotiating with the landlord, standard, i think, that can be you'd have to talk about further loans. we are an industry that relies applied across the world. so heavily on footfall and numbers and, if that's not there, aviation is a global industry, the impact then in terms and what i think we need to ensure of the number of staff that you need is that passengers can know what to expect wherever and the staff you can hold, they are travelling to and from. it has a much bigger impact. president putin has been leading ——of the number of staff that you russia's commemorations need and the stock you can hold, it has a much bigger impact. for the 75th anniversary of the defeat of nazi germany so how would somewhere like this in the second world war. eventually reopened? ceremonies have been happening around the country there could be temperature checks in honour of russia's war heroes, at the door, disposable menus, but public events have been plastic screens at the bar, hand sanitiser on tables and this significantly pared back because of coronavirus. is what socially distanced in a national address, dining could look like. mr putin paid tribute customers and tables more than two to the millions who died and said metres apart but, for this business, russia was invincible that would also mean when its citizens stood together. the bbc‘s steve rosenberg 75% fewer customers. and landlords could also ration beer to two—to—three pints per person is in red square. and put a time limit on dining. to stay afloat, the industry wants the furlough scheme extended this is a very strange and rent payments deferred. victory day in moscow. i've been to many of these if the night—time economy celebrations on red square in the past and normally,
1:06 pm
