Aerospace giant Airbus has reported a first quarter net loss of 481m euros as the impact of the pandemic continues to take its toll on the industry. The loss compared to a profit of 40m euros in the same period last year.The company said the figures reflected a "market environment strongly impacted" by the pandemic, "particularly in commercial aircraft". On Monday the company announced it would furlough 3,200 staff at its site in Broughton, Flintshire.

The aviation industry is expected to shrink significantly in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak.

The number of elderly people dying in care homes has been described as horrendous.

There have been 184 care home deaths so far in Wales and in Cardiff they account for more than 40% of all Covid-19 deaths.

Chair of Care Forum Wales Mario Kreft told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast with Claire Summers: "These figures are absolutely tragic, they are horrendous figures.

“Of course every one of those is a life, it's a mother, it's a father, it's a grandmother, it's a grandfather.

“I just want to pay tribute to the people on the front line who are caring for these people with the virus.

“Especially for the families who are supporting our care staff and care homes up and down Wales that they can't visit because of lockdown.”

First Minister Mark Drakeford will give the daily Welsh Government briefing on the coronavirus at 12:30 BST.

Councils should relax restrictions on dogs walking on beaches during the pandemic, a dog welfare expert has said.

Every year dogs are banned from many of Wales' beaches during the summer months.

Dr Samantha Gaines, a dog welfare expert from the RSPCA, told Radio Wales Breakfast with Claire Summers: “The beaches will be empty because of the restriction so we are asking councils to consider relaxing the restrictions for this particular situation.

“What we are particularly concerned about is where we have public space protection orders that are either forcing people to take unnecessary journeys to walk their dog or compromising dog welfare and stopping them from exercising at all."

An aid worker who has spent the past six weeks in lockdown in the migrant camps of northern France has said "people are being left to rot in a field" during the coronavirus crisis.

Pauline Beckett, 58, of Caerleon, Newport, has volunteered with the charity Care4Calais since 2015.

However, the retired teacher was in France when the lockdown was announced.

Now she is among a dwindling group of helpers because many charities have withdrawn staff due to the pandemic.

"I could have got home at that point as I was only supposed to be here for five days, but it made more sense for me to stay where I was,” she said.

She admits it is difficult to follow safety advice, such as social distancing and hand washing, given the poor sanitation.

"It just seems incongruous to me that in the 21st Century, you can let people rot in a field and that is what is happening here," said Pauline.

"So it's very necessary that their basic needs are met because they are such a vulnerable group. Nobody's got their back".

The coronavirus pandemic has been "absolutely disastrous" for people suffering from gambling addiction, an MP has said.

Boredom, sport cancellations and money freed-up from mortgage holidays could increase the risk, according to Swansea East MP Carolyn Harris.

She said she is getting reports of people returning to gambling after seeing online ads.

Many betting shops and gambling sites are removing adverts from TV and radio.

But campaigners want to see this extended to social media and direct marketing.

The former prime minister Gordon Brown has agreed to assist the Welsh Government as part of an external advisory group to help the nation recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Brown, who led the UK between 2007 and 2010, will join a panel of experts from outside Wales.

Other members of the panel include Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and Dr Rebecca Heaton, a member of the UK Committee on Climate Change.

Full membership of the advisory group is still being finalised.

Last week Wales’ First Minister Mark Drakeford tasked the Counsel General Jeremy Miles with leading the co-ordination of the Welsh Government’s work on recovery from coronavirus and planning for the future.

Child vaccinations must continue as normal to avoid other "deadly" diseases, a leading GP has warned.

Public Health Wales says it has seen a small drop in routine vaccination numbers since the coronavirus pandemic.

Immunisation jabs are seen as "crucial" to preventing outbreaks of diseases such as measles and meningitis.

Dr Phil White, of the General Practitioners Committee (GPC) Wales, said: "People are afraid of coronavirus but I wish they would be equally afraid of other illnesses which are equally deadly.

"The biggest issue is people afraid to come to the surgery to get the vaccine."

Alanna Clarke, 25, from Swansea, initially decided not to take her three-year-old son Lyle for a vaccination appointment in March because she was worried about using public transport and attending the clinic. She later changed her mind.

"It was hard to know how to prevent my son from getting ill," she said.

Some surgeries have started to hold immunisation clinics where children are seen separately.

In Gwynedd and Anglesey, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) has been holding one-in-one-out sessions in "clean" spaces, such as schools and village halls.
