borisjohnson's cabinet about how and when to raise the lockdown, i think how and when to raise the lockdown, ithinkathe lockdown, i think a lot of the differences are not as much ideological but practical. what is the concert was of doing one thing that seems desirable if it leads to something else which has difficulties? get people back to work? great. 0vercrowded public transport? bad. that is what they are grappling with over the course of the next week. again, it is good to see some... to lifted usually, he will be press once again on the detail of having a plan, a route map out of the lockdown or that may mean for people's safety. yes, we expect the more details. iain, thank you for walking us through this. iain, our political correspondent. british airways has said it may not restart its services at gatwick airport in southern england once travel restrictions are eased. in a letter sent to airport staff — and seen by the bbc — the airline said up to a quarter of its pilots could lose theirjobs because of the pandemic. here's more from our transport correspondent tom burridge. the idea of aband
