9,000 jobs are to go at the engineering giant rolls—royce, because of the impact of coronavirus. its plant in derby is likely to be hard hit — the firm says it'll be several years before the airline industry recovers from the pandemic. it's now clear that it is going to take years for the industry as a whole, to recover to the sort of levels that we saw in 2019. unfortunately, that means we are going to have to reduce our head count significantly. we'll be live at the company's plant in derby. also this lunchtime: councils and teaching unions urge the government to reconsider proposals to reopen primary schools in england next month, because of concerns about safety. more nhs help for people

with diabetes, as a study finds the disease is linked to a third of coronavirus hospital deaths in england. cheaper petrol and diesel pushed inflation last month to its lowest level for three and a half years. and arise captain sir tom moore — the world war two veteran who's raised more than 30 million for the nhs is awarded a knighthood. i'm certainly delighted, and i am overawed by the fact this has happened to me. and in sport, as more premier league clubs return to team training, the low number of positive covid—19 tests so far have seen as good news.

good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. the engineering giant rolls—royce is to cut 9,000 jobs — almost a fifth of its workforce — because of the impact of coronavirus on the aviation industry. the firm says it's consulting with unions about where the jobs will go and whether factories need to close — but many of the job cuts are expected to be in the uk. our business correspondent simon gompertz reports. engines powering airbus and boeing planes. a pinnacle of british manufacturing, now in crisis because the planes themselves are not flying. thejobs, many in derby, are some of the most skilled and highly prized. though this is an international company, the heaviest blow will fall here. here in derby we understand this is a very difficult day, it's a very difficult day

for our employees actually all round the world. but we need to get on and do this now because it is about creating a sustainable business for the future so that ultimately we can protect the jobs that we will have left as a result of this. derby has most of the civil aviation jobs which are in peril including hundreds of apprenticeships and graduate trainees. the unions expect nearly 3&00 uk jobs to be cut this year with thousands more to be cut later. the rolls—royce workshops of derby have been producing record—breaking engines for almost 20 years... britain was a pioneer in building planes and engines. ever since, rolls—royce has been a linchpin of engineering here. the company says it has been through lean times before, lostjobs, and won back again. but there's never been anything like this. thousands of planes parked up across the world because of coronavirus and no need for replacements. you can't make money

if you can't sell the engines and the crucial after—sales service is badly affected. even so, unions say the surgery is too much. they have been very happy to take the government's money to furlough thousands of workers at rolls—royce. and we are not going to allow them just simply to walk away when the going gets tough. we now need to stand together as a nation and think about what sort of economy we want and what role companies like rolls—royce can play in that economy. and that requires the government to step up, i understand that of course, with long—term support for this industry, long—term support for aviation. there is a big defence business which has been doing well and the company says some affected staff might be able to move across. but this huge retrenchment by rolls—royce as a warning by rolls—royce is a warning that the impact of the virus on jobs could be even deeper and longer lasting than feared. simon gompertz, bbc news. sarah corker is at the firm's largest site in the uk in derby.

a desperate day for so many people, sarah. yes, these are highly skilled well paid job, rolls—royce is one of derby's largest private employers and this is is a huge blow notjust for those who work here but the whole economy, the wider supply chain across the midlands, there have been those multiple warnings that air travel, passenger demand will not recover to previrus levels for several year, has hit airlines ha rd for several year, has hit airlines hard and there will be a ripple effect for manufacturers so rolls—royce has ta ken effect for manufacturers so rolls—royce has taken the decision to start restructuring now, and a significant number of those job losses are likely to be here in derby, but the company also has sights at other location across the uk, including big bases in solihull and in bristol. thousands of staff are already on furlough, but we heard from the ceo this morning, he said that cannot continue forever and he described this as a deep,

deep crisis. as well as these job losses there are plans by the company to cut costs attack tris, and sites, in total they plan to save £1.3 billion. now i think this really shows that businesses are accepting that there will be no immediate bounce back from this and the economic recovery will be slow, and painful. a consultation with workers will start later today. sarah, thank you. a number of english councils are expressing safety concerns over government plans to reopen primary schools at the start of next month. ministers are coming under to reconsider proposals to reopen schools to some pupils from ist june. 0ur education correspondent, elaine dunkley, reports. the government says partially roping schools in england is about taking small steps in lifting the coronavirus lockdown but there is

growing opposition from some councils ore safety concerns. there area councils ore safety concerns. there are a lot of practical problems for schools in getting ready for this oui’ schools in getting ready for this our main schools in getting ready for this oui’ main concerns schools in getting ready for this our main concerns and the reason we have given the advice we have to our schools, is that we are not yet convinced that the government's five test are met. firstly in terms the of the falling in the rate of infections in the community, and you will be aware there has been discussions that suggest the infection rate is higher in the north than london. the plan to re—open schools to children in reception, year one and year six on the first of june reception, year one and year six on the first ofjune only applies to england. the government says it is scientifically safe for schools to rope and has issued guidance. 0ther parts of the uk will continue to keep schools closed. it depends on the view of employer, a lot of councils are direct employers of teaching staff. their views are clearly im porta nt teaching staff. their views are clearly important and i am not going to sit here and pretend suddenly on

istjune to sit here and pretend suddenly on ist june everything to sit here and pretend suddenly on istjune everything will be uniform, i don't know. it is my hope, but these conversations need to continue and we need to listen carefully to the concerns of employers and staff. liverpool, burly and hartlepool are some that won't direct schools to re—open from istjune. 0thers some that won't direct schools to re—open from istjune. others have written to parents saying it might not be possible for all to open.“ for some reason the school did want to continue to open, when the local authority was advising not, to it would need to be very clear about its reasons for that decision, why had they come to a different decision from the local authority. schools have become a sticking point for the government. it was meant to bea for the government. it was meant to be a national plan to get children in england back in the classrooms, but the decision on whether to re—open is likely to be taken at a local level.

re—open is likely to be taken at a local level. borisjohnson has pledged that the track and trace scheme to contain future outbreaks will be in place by firstjune and will have 25,000 trackers. speaking at prime minister's questions, he said he had growing confidence that the operation will be world beating. 0ur assistant political editor, norman smith, is at westminster. we have date, he has outlined a date, norman? we do. it is an important commitment and important new target date, because this test track and trace system is really our key to getting out of the lockdown, it is how countries like singapore and south korea have successfully managed to contain the virus, and what it involves is recruiting a an army officials to basically hunt down the virus, by tracking everyone who comes into contact with anyone who comes into contact with anyone who reports symptoms of coronavirus, and then getting them to self—isolate. it involves using a phone app to record all the people

you come close to, over a fortnight oi’ you come close to, over a fortnight orso, you come close to, over a fortnight or so, period. so you come close to, over a fortnight orso, period. so far, we you come close to, over a fortnight or so, period. so far, we know the government's recruited 20,000 or so people to work the scheme, we know the app has been piloted in the isle of wight but there has been niggles of wight but there has been niggles of doubt. ministers have been unwilling to say when it will begin. this lunchtime boris johnson unwilling to say when it will begin. this lunchtime borisjohnson brushed those away and said byjune ist we will have a word beating system, and this matters, because government scientists have said we cannot start to ease the lockdown, until and u nless we to ease the lockdown, until and unless we have a test track and trace scheme in place. schools, too, many of them have said we won't open until get this in place, so mr johnson set himself an important and challenging new target, if he can deliver it will be an important step forward. if he can't, he will certainly face criticism, but perhaps more importantly, it will be that much harder to move to the next phase, of easing the lockdown. norman, thank you.

cambridge university has confirmed that all face—to—face lectures will be moved online during the next academic year. the move is expected to be followed by universities across the country. earlier this week, the university watchdog said students applying for places in england must be told with "absolute clarity" how courses will be taught, before they make their choice for this autumn. universities can charge full fees even if courses are taught online. the nhs is to offer more help to people living with diabetes, after a study found the disease was linked to a third of coronavirus deaths in english hospitals. there will be video consultations with medics, a new helpline and weight loss programmes — after clinicians found that higher blood sugar levels and obesity increase the risk of dying from covid—i9. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes reports. living with diabetes is hard at the best of times.

but forjanet carol, who has type 2 diabetes, coping with the fear of covid—i9 is adding an extra level of stress. not sleeping on a night, restless, and just dare not go out. it's like being in a stephen king novel at the moment. it's frightening. it really, really is. janet's concerns are reflected in a new study indicating diabetics are at increased risk of death from covid—i9. this applies to type i, which most often develops in childhood, and type 2, which affects mostly older people, and is associated with weight gain, a poor diet, and a lack of exercise. but while high blood sugar levels and obesity add to the risk, age is far and away the biggest risk factor. older people are more likely to die of the infection. age is the dominant, dominant factor here. so actually people with either type i or type 2 diabetes below the age of a0 are at very low risk. and over the period of time that we studied, we did not see any recorded deaths in people with type i diabetes or indeed type 2 diabetes

below the age of 20. the charity diabetes uk says that as we begin to cautiously resume our lives, people living with the condition want to know how they can protect themselves. as lockdown eases, more people moving back to work, it is important that government looks at this data and continues to use this evidence to drive its guidance and to drive its policies around how people with diabetes can stay safe, whether that is at work or whether that is at home. and equally what is important is that people continue to get all the advice and support they need. the nhs in england is encouraging diabetics to stay on top of their condition, using video consultations with medics, a new nhs helpline and weight loss programmes. meanwhile, medical experts are looking at whether the risks for those who have diabetes are so great they should consider shielding themselves like other vulnerable groups. but the isolation that would cause could lead to more harm than good. dominic hughes, bbc news.

the outsourcing firm, serco, which is involved in training staff for the government's app to track and trace cases of coronavirus, has apologised for a breach of privacy. the company accidentally shared the personal email addresses of nearly 300 contact tracers. it comes as the release of the app appears to have been pushed back. it had been promised in mid may, but ministers have suggested it won't be ready for several weeks. the rate of inflation fell in april to its lowest level since august 2016, as the economic fallout of the first month of the lockdown hit prices. new figures show the consumer prices index measure of inflation fell to 0.8%, from 1.5% the month before — driven particularly by lower energy bills and petrol prices.

as you mentioned, the rate of inflation is still up. the cost of living is rising even though the rate has gone down, but within that headline figures if you lock closely at the number, you can see for example, that if you leave out services and look at the price of goods, those prices have been falling, by 0.9%, part of the reason is cheaper petrol, that has meant there has been cheaper bills because fuel is cheap e you have had clothing and footwear fall, it is ha rd to clothing and footwear fall, it is hard to tell the prices because the 0ffice hard to tell the prices because the office for national statistics can't get into any shops but they are estimating those have fallen by 3%, some things have gone up like craft sets at home and ride on toys for kids, we are trying to entertain them at home, but there has been alcohol for example has seen a rise in prices but the bigger picture is we have deflation, deflation coming down the pipeline. you can see that when you look at the prices of goods

leaving the factory gate. there, those prices are down by 0.7%, and then you look within that and what then you look within that and what the factories are paying for raw materials, and there you have had the biggest fall on record, down 9.8%, and within that, one of the biggest raw materials is petrol, thatis biggest raw materials is petrol, that is down by 20.2%. as we merge from the full blown lockdown there will be a lot of economic uncertainty round, the concern is that deflation sets in, so for example cars, there is lots of unsold cars out there, some car makers want to sell them even at a loss to get cash in the door, and the pressure will be on the bank of england to go even lower on interest rates than now, they are a record low of 0.1% and go negative in order to keep the economy stimulated. thank you. our top story this lunchtime. 9,000 jobs are to go at the engineering

giant rolls royce — because of the impact of coronavirus. and still to come — the organ donation system in england has changed today — we'll be finding out how and why. as we'll be finding out how and why. more players ret training as more players return to team training to professional footballers association asked the premier league to carry out more research into the effects of cover 19 on black, minority and asian people. arise captain sir tom moore! the world war two veteran who's raised nearly £33 million for nhs charities during the coronavirus pandemic has been awarded a knighthood. the 100—year—old said he was "overawed" with the special nomination from the prime minister. john maguire has spent the morning with him. his story has been a ray

of light, a beacon of hope in these dark times. with the country and much of the world on lockdown, a familyjoke saw tom moore, who had served as a captain in the second world war, pledge to walk 100 laps of his garden to celebrate his 100 years of life. his aim was to raise £1000 for nhs charities, after he had been so well treated following a fall. as the steps increased, his story spread around the globe and his fundraising smashed all targets into oblivion. many called for a knighthood and now that target has also been reached. iam i am still tom moore, nothing has changed inside. the great and the good have lined up to thank and pay tribute to him including those from two of his passions,

motor racing and cricket. ijust wanted i just wanted to ijust wanted to send a huge congratulations on this incredible honour, it is so well deserved. what you've done in bringing together the nation and inspiring some money and helping those that need it most, honestly, i'm in all view. one thing that made us all get up in the morning and turn on our television was to see how far you'd gone and how much you raised. an amazing effort and in difficult times the country need something like that too inspired them so what you have achieved goes beyond the money, if you look at every household, everyone knows fiow you look at every household, everyone knows now who you are. well he is as busy as ever and will continue to walk and fund raise commit this time for his newly formed foundation which will focus on three areas for loneliness and mental health. when my wife was in

hospitalfor mental health. when my wife was in hospital for so mental health. when my wife was in hospitalfor so many mental health. when my wife was in hospital for so many years one day she said to me if you did not come to see me i would be lonely. and that struck my heart because this was an outcry, for the inner thoughts of people and with her were so thoughts of people and with her were so many people, mainly ladies, who had been there for years and not to sell ever came to see them. the honourfollows a personal recommendation from the prime minister and has been approved by the queen. captain sir tom hopes she will perform the investiture when they resume. i'm hoping by then i shall be able to walk properly otherwise i thought how will i manage in a wheelchair and how will i get down on one knee because then i could not get up ain! because then i could not get up again! maybe the queen will reach out a hand to give me a hand! i

doubt it but it is worth the thought! with every step, every million, every wise word delivered with humility and humour, he is an inspiration and now, unlike — a knight of the realm. arise, captain sir thomas moore. john maguire, bbc news, bedfordshire. while everyone has been impacted by the pandemic, some communities have been hit particularly badly affected. britain's jewish community, which makes up about 0.5 % of the population, appears to have had a disproportionately high death toll. 0ur correspondentjohn mcmanus has been speaking to people affected by covid—19. yy was very special to us and ourfamily. remembering a dearly loved brother. another victim of the covid—19 virus which has hit britain'sjewish community particularly hard. yanki rothschild shared a love of singing with his

brother, yechiel yosef, known as yy. the 20—year—old lived independently in the ultra orthodox charedi jewish community of stamford hill in north london. then one evening on the phone, yy told yanki he was feeling unwell. it was to be their last conversation before he was rushed to hospital. my parents were crying, their hands were tied, they couldn't do anything. their son, they couldn't even go into hospital to hug him, to say goodbye properly. yy is one of hundreds of deaths amongst all denominations ofjudaism which appear to be out of proportion to the community's small size. this cemetery in hertfordshire just north of london has been here for more than 70 years. thousands of britain'sjewish community has been laid to rest here but staff say that over the weeks of march they saw a sudden and unexpected spike

in the number of funerals, many of them the result of covid—19. at the moment it is quiet but in the busy period we were having around ten or 15 a day for six days a week. but there have been accusations that somejewish people have been slow to change their lifestyles in the face of virus warnings. i don't know anyone who doesn't know someone who has died. yehudis fletcher is a community advocate and activist. she says that some influential jewish leaders failed to set a good example, but insists a much larger blame lies with the authorities. there are health inequalities that are known to public health england about individual bame communities. and none of that was news, and it should have been obvious that our communities were going to be affected. the message of this pandemic has been to keep healthy by staying apart. but one organisation says that for traditionally large charedi families who often live in cramped

conditions, that was impossible. there are families who have every age group in the house and that means you have little children going to somebody in the house who is possibly 60 years old or above. that did contribute towards, you know, the virus being more aggressive in some parts of the community, unfortunately. meanwhile even as he continues to mourn his brother, yanki says yy's life was a gift. john mcmanus, bbc news. cyclone amphan, classified as "extremely severe", has made landfall near the border between india and bangladesh. damage is being reported from some areas and at least one person has died. yogita limaye is following the story from mumbai. the cyclone made landfall about two hours ago and it hit the post near a

group of islands spread across india and bangladesh. these are low lying islands of manga forest and it is expected to move further in a northern direction. weather forecasters in india saying west bengal could be worst affected in the worrying thing is the densely populated city of calcutta is in the path of the storm. it has weakened slightly from the super cyclone of last night, now a severe cyclone but nevertheless the wind is capable of causing extensive damage and i have already seen pictures of what looked to bea already seen pictures of what looked to be a cow shed with the roof blown off and trees uprooted. weather forecast i sang that the storm surge could be up to 16 feet so flooding is also a major cause of concern for coastal areas both in india and bangladesh. the organ donation system has changed in england today,

which it's hoped may save 700 lives a year. people are now presumed to have consented for their organs to be given to others, unless they specifically opt out. this system is already used in wales, and will come into force in scotland later in the year. northern ireland still operates the opt—in approach. the legislation is known as max and keira's law. maxjohnson is a nine—year—old who had a heart transplant, after a nine—year—old donor keira ball was killed in an accident in 2017. max's uncle is the bbc news presenter rogerjohnson. this is his report: she was the perfect child, she just loved life, loved people, loved animals. she wanted to help anyone and anything. keira ball was nine when she was killed in a car crash in devon in 2017. with her mum and brother seriously injured in hospital, keira's father, joe, took the decision to donate his daughter's organs.

meanwhile, almost 400 miles away in newcastle, another 9—year—old, max johnson, my nephew, had been waiting in a hospital bed for more than six months in critical need of a heart transplant. max had developed dilated cardiomyopathy after contracting a virus. his heart was failing. after a few months, you almost stop expecting or hoping for a call and if you think too much about, "will the phone ring today," each day ends in disappointment. i love you, mum. i love you too. the documentary crew was filming the work of the transplant teams at the freeman hospital when max's operation took place. thankful, very thankful. thank you, people out there, thank you. keira's dad's decision was the gift max's parents had prayed for.

we looked at her and thought she wa nts to we looked at her and thought she wants to help anyone and do anything and that would be what she wanted so that the decision was easy. the humanity he has, it took a very courageous person and a very caring person so, you know, we are indebted to him for having the strength and the love and the generosity of doing that. coronavirus has cut the number of donors across the uk and many operations have been put on hold. but prior to the pandemic, consent rates for donations had risen in wales since an opt—out system was adopted there in 2015. scotland is following suit. today's change in england followed a newspaper campaign for which max became the poster boy. the public and the government were able to latch onto a personal story and a personal progression that made the topic of organ donation very human and it allowed people

to really empathise it's not usual for recipients and donorfamilies to meet, but amid all the publicity, the balls and thejohnsons came together. both now hope the new legislation, known as max and keira's law, will encourage other families to share their wishes if the unthinkable should happen. it helps us massively in the grieving process to look at max and see the difference are beautiful princess has given to max. to us her life was not wasted. rogerjohnson, bbc news. today is expected to be the hottest day of the year so far. temperatures in some parts of the country could reach 29 degrees. sarah is in weston—super—mare.

sarah is in weston—super—marelj cannot quite reach 29 but we are around 20 degrees here at the moment and are set to get higher as the afternoon wears on. of course there's high temperature and glorious sunshine has caught people out for the delving into the summer wardrobe for shorts and t—shirts and some even put on the swimsuits to make the most of it. on the esplanade you have some concessions open such as the fish and chip shop but for a takeaway only and people have been queueing to get there lunch. and further down you can get ice cream that is what you want but again only to take away. the authorities are saying that they welcome day—trippers, those who can maybe drive a couple of hours and then go away again, there is no way to stay are no toilets open so the message from weston—super—mare is come and enjoy the sunshine and the beach but if you cannot do it in one day then please do not come,
