jaguar land rover is a major employer in the west midlands.l businesses and communities rely on it. so what impact could the job losses have on them? 0ur correspondent sima kotecha has been finding out. manufacturing is what they do in the midlands. its economy depends on the sector. here in warwickshire, they make 40,000 metal components forjlr every month. and job losses there are causing nervousness here, because of potential effects to the supply chain. if they're cutting down on important jobs, like the design functions and things like that, where his future in business going? are they continuing to build new models? you know, will they be built locally? will they be built in other areas of the world? it could have a major effect throughout the whole of the industry, and it's disappointing that it's focused here in the west midlands. jlr is often described as the powerhouse of the west midlands. it is a region that has a rich manufacturing heritage, with companies such asjlr forming the heart of communities. but today's news is bound to c

jaguar has its main operations there.or both companies, you have had other factors at work as well. in the case of ford, an aging model lineup. not many suvs are popular with consumers at the moment. and the focus on smaller cars, that has not been lucrative. vonnie: how much are these individual stories in the sense that ford had been in gauging in -- had been in gauging in a restructuring and struggling for years, where jaguar is specifically calling out brexit in the slashing of its staff? >> can you repeat that? vonnie: how much is brexit a factor and how much are these individual stories? was sayingyes, as i in the case of ford, it would be a major factor because the u.k. is a major market. and we saw last year, sales dropping on a general level by 6.8%. consumers are holding back because they are not sure what will happen. in jaguar's case, they are worried about their supply chain because components have to move across the u.k. and vice versa. guy: a big diesel lineup as well, a big factor for jaguar. taht is a fac

ford, jaguar and land rover, have announced largejob losses today.getting rid of a500 white—collar job in on top of 1500 factoryjobs which it axed last year. it's clearly a complicated mix of factors here. as you expect, some people are citing the b word, brexit. one thing thatis citing the b word, brexit. one thing that is exciting, jaguar and land rover both planning to switch to electric hybrid cars. one of the reasons is, demand is falling among consumers who are looking at new laws in different cities, clamping down on emissions in the centre of the city. realising consumers go to shift their behaviour. it's an awful phrase that is about developments in new technology, automation and clearly, politics is going to have to find a way to find meaningful jobs and meaningful work for individuals and communities. clearly big car manufacturing plants are not the future of work. it's inevitable that this is seen through the prism of brexit. sorry to come back to it again. a lot of it is about how these manufacturers have produced primarily diesel cars a

for jaguar land rover to factory in slovakia.eds to be a player in the long it needs to be a player in the global market, that means i think its scope beyond just british manufacturing, it has taken steps to do that already, in europe, it has grown its chinese operations. now it needs to build on that and see that project through. others are also struggling. ford has also announced plans for thousands of job struggling. ford has also announced plans for thousands ofjob losses in europe. jlr insists its business is fundamentally strong, change is inevitable if it is to compete successfully with larger and more powerful rivals. the chief executive ofjaguar land rover, dr ralf speth, has been speaking to our business editor, simon jack — he insists the car—maker is committed to growing its uk business — but that he has serious concerns about the possibility of a hard brexit. i totally respect the democratic votes of the uk operation. but that is also quite clear that we support 02 no deal, the deal is not perfect, on the other side,

in the uk and europe more generally. 0bviously, that is very concerning for the workers involved, jaguarand rover is britain's largest car—maker, and they are announcing that they are... on top of the 1500 factory jobs that announcing that they are... on top of the 1500 factoryjobs that it shed last year. one way of looking at this though is that it's a sort of natural response to policy change which we are going to have to get used to. there's an interesting paragraph here that says both ford and jaguar land rover are now planning to shift investment into producing electric and hybrid cars, and that consumers are becoming much more nervous about buying cars, because of buying diesel cars and gas cards, because of possible future bands in big cities. the real question going forward is not necessarily how do we stop these workers losing theirjobs producing traditional cars, but more how can we replace these jobs or how can a car manufacturers not to lose jobs, and not impact on communities, perhaps where this might be a key employer as they shift to much more renewable much more sustainab

particularly from the manufacturing point of view, jaguar land rover has for a long time been heavilyd that has been seen as a potential weakness, that's why they opened a plant in europe early last year and they now need to fill that part up. it is not at capacity yet so there is the potential for moving some of the uk manufacturing out there. and the uk manufacturing out there. and the logic for that grows all the time with the threat of brexit looming on the horizon. how does it compare to others? we have seen the likes of mercedes and bmw also been hit by the slow down in china but they are better placed because they are bigger? absolutely. it is fair to say that other companies are also suffering from the same problems but they're much more insured against them because of their scale. the companies you mentioned, audi, bmw, mercedes, are at least four times the size in terms of sales, they have bigger art and the budgets for the future. perhaps they are not as agile but today, they are the first ones to really face into the shock of what is going on around the world. thank you ve

jaguar land rover is cutting up to 4,5000 jobs in the uk. that's from a workforce of 40,000.art of a £2.5 billion plan to cut costs. a similar story at ford which has announced a major shake—up in the uk and mainland europe. thousands ofjobs are going to be affected, although it's thought the impact here will be limited. many of us are counting the cost after christmas and the latest figures show consumer spending went up 1.8% in december compared to last year. but when you adjust for inflation, that's actually a fall in real terms. and of course that means a tough time for many retailers. let's talk to esme harwood, director at barclaycard. thank you forjoining us. why are we so thank you forjoining us. why are we so bad at spending? well, if you look, it is the lowest level of spent growth in december than we have seen since 2016 and there is really a story of two halves here. so, if you look at high—street sales, that continues to struggle, whereas if we look at the experience economy and entertainment, that typically does better. so that we look at essential spending, wha

as you pointed to just now, jaguar land rover partly blaming a fall in demand for some job cuts jaguar blaming a fall in demand for somejob cuts in the uk is the perfect illustration of how growth numbers, gdp numbers, the size of china's economy, can have a very quick effect on companies all around the world, whether that's in automotive in the uk, or whether that is in precision machinery in japan or uk, or whether that is in precision machinery injapan or in south korea. all of this in the context of particular worries about consumer demand, and also what's going to happen in this trade war between the united states and china. we have another six weeks or so for the two sides to try and agree some kind of deal that will see off some risk of a further escalation in tariffs. there is no doubt there is a real concern, real woi’i’y among consumer concern, real worry among consumer sentiment about what will happen in 2019 with regard to the trade war.l closer look at the numbers themselves. chinese growth figures do tend to come in suspiciously close to target, it is a 1—party state, of
