as bad as it is now. but in quite as bad as it is now. but in fairness, credible credit is due, they have told the world fairly quickly and that will stop, or at least mitigate the spread. killer virus in isolation, six people the testis virus in isolation, six people the test is still being carried out. we will seek this number grow perhaps and things —— see this number grow. but it does take a few days to get this result back. these picture, the metro particular show the picture of someone metro particular show the picture of someone in hong kong and whoever's escorting him, that the face masks the face shields on because of the human to human contact of this virus. and yes, it is going to be quite dramatic and they do not know of people going to start wearing the

facemasks more the uk but that is something. but apparently, the health secretary braced for an outbreak. the test being taken are precautionary measures and obviously, it was inevitable. there must be some coming back from the pa rt must be some coming back from the part of the world carrying this virus. the number of people. but to stop people from travelling at this time of the year in china is quite. it is really major. it is the biggest event in the calendar there, the biggest period of time for travel in china. people going to the provinces and travelling around the world as well. ministers, ministers of facing criticism for not monitoring people arriving into the enough and that is in that we hear more often in the coming days. yesterday, as i understand it, and when coming from that part of the world was given a form and saying,

they were not carrying out tests bow other countries to carry out tests and the usa was one of them. so, maybe we missed a trick there. but the test results take a while to come back. indeed. coming down to condo in north london to be examined. let's look at the independent. criminal probe over baby deaths and maternity unit. but this is a story that is getting some momentum. social affairs correspondent reporting on this with seven preventable deaths at this trust, and he scanned nhs trust. you have this report that the independent is looking at and looking at hundred 30 newborns for brain damage by oxygen starvation and so this is on top of their reports that are already running

today it is obsolete staggering figure that the babies are not being, monitored 30 babies are not cared for in the standards that we would expect and this has led to brain damage. i am really shocked to read the story and can work to the independent for following this. the bbc has been following this story for some considerable time, and it stuck to its guns on it. one of the most scandalous aspects of this and ido most scandalous aspects of this and i do not doubt it is that the contributory factor and a lot of these cases were care has been somewhat lacking to put it mildly is that they have been refusing to work weekends and that's what doctors do, isn't it? and is certainly what michael said as a factor in his report. if they are on call, they just will not turn up. is never doctors are supposed to do was? is not something that you accept when you take the job. like not something that you accept when you take thejob. like how not something that you accept when you take the job. like how they have to work overnight in germany was

make it that is a contributing factor than that is shameful. this is taking it further. this isjust factor than that is shameful. this is taking it further. this is just a general medical council investigation. a criminal investigation. a criminal investigation is being reported on the front pages of the independent. it is as serious as it can get and this is going back to 2015, so there isa numberof this is going back to 2015, so there is a number of years where care has clearly been completely substandard queen elizabeth, the queen mother hospital as being investigated and doctors that what they're being investigated. and several families affected by that in the report to realise the true horror of it. for those who have not been cared for by that hospital and are still being cared for because of huge amounts of concern. police give up on charging

thieves in bringing in prosecutions and parts these figures suggest that one of iii and parts these figures suggest that one of 11; crimes results in a charge stop till it's time to about 15% to 7% committed, only 7% action result ina 7% committed, only 7% action result in a charge. it was 15% a few years ago. the point they're making about theft is between this impersonal theft is between this impersonal theft and services in the uk where during one period they did not charge anyone at all and 300 crimes reported and saying what is happening is decriminalising theft. and they're not able to do this and they're not able to do the job. in england and wales has been cut by

20,000. that is the number the worse johnson said that he will make sure that it would reverse most of the cuts that were imposed by his government by theresa may. only writing the wrong of this predecessor. they're still 20,000 to make up for. it's surprising that they are not charging people with theft if they do not have enough people. and if the prosecution services are really short, that this reports indicating. the police federation is indicating that forces have been absolutely crippled by the cuts and that this is a clear example because theft is lower on the scale of crimes that are investigated by forces. but, that complete erosion of trust and faith in the police and what happens at this level the level of theft and burglary, there are a lot of reports about progress are being investigated. not fully, any more.

and it is such a dangerous line, especially for the party of law and order and there such a long way to rebuild faith between the people and the enforcement. and went police officers, not just police the enforcement. and went police officers, notjust police federation officers, notjust police federation officers, but the senior police officers, but the senior police officers won the government that if you make these kind of cuts, there will be a rise in crime. and they we re will be a rise in crime. and they were told, by mac going back over how many years because you ten yea rs. we how many years because you ten years. we never have now had a rise in crime it is more complicated than that, there are other factors that one has to consider that contributed to that. but it is a root cause of the problem and people are not being charged with offences because people simply do not have the time to get into it. last story, billions of her

budget due to tory failures report. it is the tory failures that seems to be the new bit here. we know it is late but it is way over budget. looking at this report, the national order, look at this project beyond £1 billion but also there is no direction over this project and it is lacking that very senior level to have a clear idea of where it is going, which is why the transport sector is saying that they have concerns over. it feels like a decade—long now they have been talking about hs two. it is still not happened in the original cost of 33 billion at the time, i remember feeling thousand staggering amount of money and now it is gone up to hundred billion and so, this report is going to add further evidence into its long—term future and whether it is viable. does dominic cummings like it? apparently not.

you spend an x number of billions of pounds and does it keep going? being mapped out and on the station here in london in the hotel down the street and and as you know, they will say, they have completely missile does and get them 20 minutes faster, 50 minutes faster, making up the numbers, but it is about capacity, unless you have the train route, the whole system will flock up route, the whole system will flock up and if the pressure on the surface, and unless you do this, the system will clog up and the speed in

which you can reach manchester it is impressive. it is. why do you do that? it is a good service and they have to say that in my experience, we have a sort of problems, or not finishing the work of the line. that's it for the papers this hour. john and kate will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers, and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you john stapleton and kate proctor — goodbye.
