11:30 pm
as we move into the start of next week then, that cold front clears towards the southeast. this feature could bring some issues though for rush hour first thing. so, something to bear in mind if you are planning to travel. for northern ireland, parts of scotland, parts of northern england, the potential for some snow first thing, and also some ice patches. tricky driving conditions. elsewhere, we are looking at a good deal of sunshine through the day and a splattering of showers mostly in the south and west. the temperatures across the north sitting at around 4—6d celsius, 7—10 further south. into tuesday, low pressure still in charge of our weather. so we're going to stick with that cooler shower shower theme. tuesday brings sunny spells, but also the chance of some showers, and those showers, again, could be wintry for parts of scotland and northern england and northern ireland. there will be some showers in the southwest, these showers here could merge to form longer spells of rain. it will be blustery in the southwest too. temperatures around
11:31 pm
4—8 degrees celcius. 4—8 degrees celsius. some uncertainty in the detailemidweek, due to the positioning of this area of low pressure down towards the southwest. the same is further south, we are seeing that cooler showery air mass. if it has a little bit further north, we will see something milder and more unsettled. either way, towards the second half of the week, it does look like that cooler air will be replaced by something milder, that will be replaced by something cooler. this just shows the unsettled nature of the weather as we move through the week. that is reflected in the city outlook, so you can see, at times the temperature is fairly mild, and also, some rain at times. why is this? well, we've got a fast—moving jet stream again, and that will continue to bring areas of low pressure in from the west. so it will turn wet and windy at times through the week ahead. so, very different feel to things compared to a relatively quiet week that we've just seen.
11:32 pm
11:33 pm
hello. this is bbc news with rachel. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. chinese authorities confirm the coronavirus death toll has climbed to 26 people. tonight, france have conirmed three cases there, meanwhile here — officials try to trace 2,000 visitors who have flown to the uk from wuhan in the last fortnight. a coroner has said that the death of a baby at a hospital in kent in 2017 was "wholly avoidable". at least 1a people have been killed and hundreds injured in a powerful earthquake in eastern turkey. harry dunn's family say they'll continue their fight for justice — after the us rejected an extradition request for the woman accused of causing his death. she will come back, i don't care how long it takes.
11:34 pm
0ur fight for justice for harry will not waiver, you know, our determination is probably, if anything is stronger now than it was before. if that's even possible. the uk's second—largest union — unite — has backed rebecca long—bailey to be the leader of the labour party. more than 200 private patients of a suspended surgeon who worked for spire health care, have been recalled hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are writer and broadcaster mihir bose and ruth lea, economic adviser for arbuthnot banking. some of the front pages are already in. there's borisjohnson signing the eu withdrawal agreement
11:35 pm
on the front of the telegraph, he says the uk and eu will be "friends and equals", after brexit the times is leading on police forces in the uk that are struggling to cope with the rise of fraudsters. the financial times reports more than 160,000 people could be contacted over fears of mis—sold pensions and also continues its coverage of the shutdown in china over the spread of the coronavirus. while the guardian leads on the global push to contain spread of the disease as the lockdown in china reaches 13 cities. but the "uk risk is low" — that's according to the i, as the first cases in europe are confirmed. the mirror leads on prince charles‘ plea for peace in the middle east as he met christian and muslim leaders in bethlehem. but the future of the monarchy is called into question with a new poll in the express. and the the daily mail calls
11:36 pm
on readers to join the fight against the blight of litter. so, nice broad range of stories, things making the leads on these papers, but ruth, let's start with the guardian, because the story that is dominating is of course the spread of the coronavirus. they are taking a global perspective here in the guardian. particularly focusing on china, of course, because that is where it started to come and i think in the earlier session i said there was something like 20 million people involved. it's now up to 36 million. so, since —— over the last few hours, there is no an unprecedented locked onto him as they were saying and i3 locked onto him as they were saying and 13 cities covering at least 36 million people, and of course, lockdown means that you are stuck in these cities, and there are quite a few people who are stuck or stranded because they are trying to get away from the chinese lunar new year. —— four. china has taken precautions very quickly to try to stamp this
11:37 pm
thing down, and i think it does strike me that that is absolutely the right thing to do. they are actually also building a new report of this. racing against the clock to build a hospital to deal with it. the clock to build a hospital to dealwith it. ten the clock to build a hospital to deal with it. ten days, the clock to build a hospital to dealwith it. ten days, i think the clock to build a hospital to deal with it. ten days, i think they can do in ten days to build a 1000 person hospitals. it's amazing. that's a lesson for hs to there. a different kind. you contrast it with sars, is this a overreaction because of up to? i think to a certain extent, probably slightly overreacting, but if you consider the background of the chinese lunar new year which is on saturday, as ruth was saying come and you know, millions of people are going back home to china, there must be lots of people going from this country because there are 1000 chinese students here, and i think probably that to an extent has guided the chinese and i agree with ruth, we should give the chinese and credits,
11:38 pm
because since sars they did take theirtime, and that because since sars they did take their time, and that caused a lot of deaths. of course, what we don't know at this stage is quite how the virus spreads and so forth. so there isa virus spreads and so forth. so there is a lot of unknowns that make people nervous. it does seem pretty infectious if i may say so, and it does seem to have spread now, he is talking about us, south korea, i thinkjapan, was at thailand and various other countries now that have been found that there are cases. i think the latest one was france as well. yes, three confirmed. there is no cause for complacency at all. i was very interested about the world health authority, saying there is no global crisis yet, but has the potential for it to. there must be sympathy for it to. there must be sympathy for those stranded who are planning to be with their loved ones, and suddenly find they are somewhere... they are stranded. i've been very to psy—tu rvy. they are stranded. i've been very topsy—turvy. the independent here is looking at the british angle saying that the country is braced for the
11:39 pm
spread of coronavirus. what are we doing here? professor here, paul gossard, the medical director of public health england said it was early days but admitted it was highly likely that we would have cases of the new strain here. they are talking about 2000 passengers who arrived in the uk from wuhan who could be carrying the disease and infect people here, so while we haven't yet had any cases —— wuhan, it's very likely that from what the paper is saying, that we will get some. so they are looking with the airlines to look at these 2000 passengers that have come in from wuhan, and he think interestingly, the authorities have been criticised for not screening people when they are coming through the airports, but, of course, there is an incubation periods of but, of course, there is an incubation periods 01:14 days with this virus. you could be carrying the virus, you might actually be incubating it, but you are not showing symptoms. so i think what they're doing is the most sensible thing to do. they have taken precautions. i think it's out of our
11:40 pm
courts, let's hope they control it. i feel like we have got a sudden blast from the past here on the daily telegraph. 0h, blast from the past here on the daily telegraph. oh, look, it's borisjohnson daily telegraph. oh, look, it's boris johnson with daily telegraph. oh, look, it's borisjohnson with a story called brexit. something rather momentous has actually happened and it's only made one front—page. has actually happened and it's only made one front—pagelj has actually happened and it's only made one front-page. i know, the telegraph, a great campaign of her brexit command is of course must be a great day for ruth. iam nota a great day for ruth. i am not a triumphalist. and boris johnson signing, we are leaving the eu, we know we are leaving the eu, and the telegraph carrying that picture with the story accompanying it is interesting, them among others who has been there europe editor, that they have already made it clear, the french, that in order to doa clear, the french, that in order to do a deal, the british must give fishing rates for 25 years. hah hah hah. whereas britain would probably not be willing to do a trade deal for more than a year because of obviously. i thank you should use
11:41 pm
your textbook. there is a kind of irony to the fact that the prime minister hales post brexit future as "friends and equals" and yet that's not quite the text that we get a little bit later on. i see a very much like that. i think that the french are just sort of putting their stake in the sand and so is their stake in the sand and so is the commission with all of their demands. i think this is quite interesting that it's boris who signed it. i think the fishing rates will become a big issue. i think what will happen is that of course, they will happen is that of course, they will say we went fishing rates, we wa nt will say we went fishing rates, we want you to align with the regulations, etc, etc, but at the end of the day, they have only 11 months to negotiate something, and i suspect pragmatism will break out and they will just say let's have something on goods, tariff free trade goods, quota free trade on goods, not least of all because the eu has got a massive great trade surplus with us. £90 billion a year, that's quite a big figure.|j surplus with us. £90 billion a year, that's quite a big figure. i think we will have interim deals, you know? but that will be... with some of the thing is we will be
11:42 pm
leaving at the end of this year, end of story. no transition. no extension. but there will be one deal, and then another, perhaps a renegotiation, it will be an ongoing thing that will go on. but it will be estimable straightforward free trade deal i think, and the germans are very pleased, because they have are very pleased, because they have a surplus of 30 billion with us, so i think pragmatism will break out.|j like your optimism, i will hold you to that. it's simple and straightforward, we will return to the story i'm sure over the coming weeks and months. if i'm wrong, i'm not coming back. 0, ruth, you will. let's go to the financial times. their lead story is all about pensions, and the fact that we may have been sold the pap. i think so. this is the financial conduct authority that is revealing, so it says, that 98% of the firms providing advice on people cashing in theirfinal salary providing advice on people cashing in their final salary schemes have been giving bad advice. well, that is the story. so, the fca has been urged to probe this sort of pension advice, and it does look as though it's got the potential of another
11:43 pm
very nasty pension mis—selling. but it's interesting that george osborne, when he was the chancellor, made it more attractive for people, of course, to cash in their final salary schemes. if somebody is relatively young and they sort of see him nice lump sum they think, oh, what a good idea, without thinking of the implications of when they will actually retire. my own advice with the final salary scheme is don't cash it in. keep it. feel jolly pleased about it. the whole idea of cashing in the scheme sounds so idea of cashing in the scheme sounds so ridiculous. it's the best pension scheme you can get, and this was instant offer, offer of instant profit on a prospectus with the seller or the adviser, they could never fulfil it. there is no guarantee of what the final money would be, which is what i think it's coming out now. i think they have been bamboozled, and i would be interested to see where this goes. it sounds like it could be a new chapter in them is selling scandals of the past, or at least we thought the past, they are no longer. ruth, the past, they are no longer. ruth, the daily mirror, we got a historic
11:44 pm
royal visits, where is prince charles ? royal visits, where is prince charles? what has he been saying? this is his second speech, he obviously gave a speech i think yesterday, i have lost track of time, actually. i know that feeling. this week, he was in devils as well, but he was injerusalem earlier in the week, and he was talking about anti—semitism and the holocaust. this is about his trip to bethlehem, when he was talking about the problems of the divide in palestine and israel territories. sadly, i don't think there is any imminent solution to this at all. i mean, i remember the 19905 with all the optimism that somehow there would be some sort of two state settlement with this rail in palestine sitting up with this rail in palestine sitting up with the palestinian authority, the idea that you have an independent palestine. sadly, 25 years later, it's not come about, andi years later, it's not come about, and i really can't see it happening. it's quite significant that prince charles went to jerusalem and palestine, because he is the highest ranking memberof palestine, because he is the highest ranking member of the royal family ever to go at a particular moment,
11:45 pm
it's marking this weekend the 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz, which, of course, for the whole world, but particularly for the israelis is such an important event coming prince charles went, i must give him credit for making does make very good speeches, very well thought out, because you know, as i agree with ruth, nothing will happen, it will require some sort of and undreamt of revolution for peace to come there, and one can think that will happen. as you were 5aying, ruth, he has had a very busy week and he was in devil5, he was with greta thunberg, prince charles has been making headlines, but the headline in the daily express here, shark royal pole, because apparently —— davo5, despite prince charles being very much at the forefront this week, britain is divided over the future of the monarchy. yes, they have had to expect this, given they have had to expect this, given the megan merkel situation taking place, what they found it's probably not a surprise, the young people are not a surprise, the young people are not that happy with the monarchy,
11:46 pm
the older people of 60 years and older happy with the monarchy, the younger ones or not, that's a worrying signal, that what has happened, they feel the monarchy doesn't really work. i think what this shows, it also shows that people don't find it acceptable that harry and davos. .. people don't find it acceptable that harry and davos... meghan should be using their royal background to use it for commercial purposes, i think the pulpit doesn't go into it, it raises the question, how with the monarchy proceed once the queen goes, and what happens, because i think the queen is such an important figure in the monarchy, what she means, who's appeal —— whose appeal goes far beyond royalists, and many who are probably republican at heart, and whether the monarchy, what form the monarchy it takes whether it can slim down to a form thatis whether it can slim down to a form that is more continental. yes, it certainly generally don't neck generating a debate. i think what is
11:47 pm
also interesting about this poll is that it doesn't come out for harry and meghan. i think that's pretty specific. you have just and meghan. i think that's pretty specific. you haveju5t been plaited. is it acceptable that they have used the royal background, no, it's not. and also you dislike the royal family it's not. and also you dislike the royalfamily more it's not. and also you dislike the royal family more now that harry has left, no, they don't. so i think the real lose r5 left, no, they don't. so i think the real losers in all of this is actually meghan and harry, that's my interpretation of this particular pole. we will have lots more on that a5 pole. we will have lots more on that as well, i'm sure. let's go to the guardian, roof, because it's a flavour of sports, but i would be first dib5 on this. this is about ben stoke5, has got himself into a spot of bother by rather mouthing off at someone who was beating him from the crowd. well, i was listening very carefully to what he was saying in the first. because he obviously knows what he's talking about when it comes to crickets, and i don't. i think i understand that
11:48 pm
mr stokes did not have a terribly good ending, and he was not best pleased about this when somebody criticised him, is that true? yes, a5 criticised him, is that true? yes, as he came off, it wasn't in the be5t frame of mind, and he let it rip at someone who had something to say to. i think a little bit of stiff upper lip would not go far astray. is it hard for sports men and women though when they are getting it in the neck from people in the crowd, they are expected be beyond reproach, yet they have to ta ke beyond reproach, yet they have to take quite a lot on the chain. yes, and also these days, they are public figures, the problem is that they have suddenly become public figures you know, someone like ben stokes is a huge figure in the cricket team, he's not the captain, i wouldn't wa nt he's not the captain, i wouldn't want him to be captain, because i think that would devalue him, but in the dressing room, he is the man is sort of leading the team. then, suddenly to find that he's become such a huge figure become —— because of his success, suddenly finding people having a go at him because probably he has failed on the rare occasion. you are really a high top
11:49 pm
and so on, and people are not appreciating what you are doing, and thatis appreciating what you are doing, and that is understandable how he has reacted, but then i think we made the mistake of making these figures godlike figures. you know, they are ordinary human beings with great sporting ability, not anything beyond that to. they don't necessarily have the diplomatic control of others that they are expected to have, yes. finally on to the times. they have got a totally different story, connected with investigations at the paper that has been doing over time. this is all to do with policing, and the fact that they are suggesting that police cannot cope with the avalanche of fraud cases. yes, there has been reported following the times investigation, as you say, by a former deputy commissioner of the mets police, that basically, fraud is a very very serious crime. there are 4 million incidents of fraud, a third of all crime, there are only 200 officers designated to look into fraud cases
11:50 pm
command the police just don't have the resources to carry it out, and there is something called action fraud, whose website is so wonderful, that it actually misspells the word fraud, and you know, when people bring up and the phone calls are outsourced, they are not very well received, they are not helped, and basically, what has happened is people are allowed, if you like i'm very clever people are allowed to get away with it because we are not building enough resources. 0r we are not building enough resources. or they are calling for more resources and not putting enough capable officers that are capable of detecting what are very complex crime. fraud is a very difficult time to get to grips with. it is throughout. it is obviously a very complicated crime, especially with financialfraud... very complicated crime, especially with financial fraud... but it does seem as though there will be extra resources come in seem as though there will be extra re5ource5 come in this story is saying there will be another 60 million, which could be redirected
11:51 pm
to more policing, and that could find 400 new officers and also recruit expert5 find 400 new officers and also recruit experts from the private sector, so there are trying to addre55 sector, so there are trying to address the problem, but it is an endemic problem. interesting, here, the review suggested growth in fraud means that should be seen as a national threat, so they are saying it should be taken much more seriously. interestingly, ju5t noting that the city of london police has responded to that story and says we will address the recommendations contained within the report, we continue to work closely with the home office to review how the policing of fraud is funded in the policing of fraud is funded in the uk within the context of serious organised crime. we watch and wait. that's it for the papers tonight don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you mihir bose and ruth lea. goodbye. you are dismissed to go home to have
11:52 pm
coco in bed. that's all from us. good night. good evening, i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes with your latest sports news. england cricketer ben stokes has apologied after verbally abusing a spectator during england's final match of their test series in south africa. stokes had just been caught on two before the game was stopped for bad light with england 192—4. but as he walked—off the pitch injohannesburg he was clearly heard reacting to some heckling from the crowd — appearing to use obscene language towards a spectator. under the icc‘s code of conduct, the "use of an audible obscenity during an international" is a level one offence which carries a fine. the icc have 24 hours to decide if they're taking disciplinary action. stokes says...
11:53 pm
it's been a day of shocks in the women's singles at the australian open tennis. 15 year—old coco gauff has knocked out the defending champion, naomi osaka, in their third round match in melbourne. the american teenager took just 67 minutes to beat osaka in straight sets. the other big name to be knocked out today was serena williams. the seven—time winner lost to china's wang qiang — her earliest exit in melbourne since 2006. the defeat means williams‘ wait to win a record—equalling 24th grand slam singles title continues. defending champion, novak djokovic, breezed into round four with a straight sets win over
11:54 pm
yoshihito nishioka in under 90 minutes. and roger federer survived a scare to beat the unseeded john millman in a 5th set tie—break. there was a dramatic late win for london irish in rugby union's premiership tonight — preventing northampton from going top of the table. northampton were ahead at half time after cobus reinach had cancelled out an early irish try. but they had a man sent off — their second red card in as many games and irish took the advantage to comeback culminating in this late try from dave porecki, sealing only their second win at franklins gadrens in 15 years. sheffield wednesday are the first side through to the fifth round of the fa cup, after a 2—1victory over qpr this evening. they took the lead in the first half through morgan fox, and it looked like that is how it would stay until deep into stoppage time at the end of the game when sam whinnell added a second.
11:55 pm
amazingly qpr did pull a goal back after that but 2—1 it finished. derby and northampon will replay after that ended goalless. this season will be the richest ever for ladies european tour golfers. there'll be record prize money and more events than ever before. players will now compete for more than £15 million — that's up by more than four million from last year and a record for the tour. the number of tournaments has also increased by seven, taking the total to 24 this year, 15 of those in europe with countries like sweden now hosting two events. just before we go, take a look at this from the monte carlo rally, the world champion ott tanak dramatically crashing his car in the mountains. somehow, he walked away. the estonian driver lost control, careering off the road through a section where speeds can get up to 110 miles per hour. miraculously, he and his co—driver escaped without injury — even more remarkable when you see
11:56 pm
picturse from inside with the dashcam, flipping over several times. that's all the sport for now. hello. high—pressure has kept much of the uk dry for the past week, but for the second time for the week, it's kept much of the uk cloudy, drizzly, misty, murky. weather about to change though, and for sunday, a spell of rain moves eastwards, behind that, a low pressure reasserts itself into next week. so we are going to see low pressure giving way through the weekend. this weather front moves through on sunday, then low—pressure brings in further showers into the start of next week. some of those will be wintry, as it turns colder too. but, also, there will be some sunshine occasionally as well. hard pressed to find much of that on saturday morning. a bit brighter, a few breaks in the cloud, pushing northwards across england and wales compared with recent days, but even behind that, the cloud thickens up again, patchy light rain and drizzle. a few spots of that possible to northern ireland, western scotland, some brighter breaks towards northeast scotland. temperatures a bit above average
11:57 pm
for the time of year for some of us, especially in scotland. rain though and a freshening wind towards the western isles, and that's the weather front moving in, with a spell of rain for sunday that through that the saturday night will bring that rain into northern ireland into western scotland. sunday starts frost free. but temperatures are about to take a dip, because this is a cold front, this cloud and rain. the leading edge of colder air and clearly the blue showing up, that colder air moving in behind that, as it takes us eastwards on sunday. it will be brighter in the colder air, but there will be showers, some of those will be wintry as well, especially sunday night and into monday morning, as we will see in a moment. during sunday, daytime, we will all see a spell of rain quickly clearing northern ireland, then later scotland, as the sun reappears. brightning upjust a bitjust before sunset thorugh parts of wales, western england, as the rain clears, and that rain later on reaching the far east and southeast of england. it will be a breezy day everywhere, but notice how the temperatures are dipping away behind the rain,
11:58 pm
as that colder air arrives. it's in that colder air sunday night and into monday morning, bringing another disturbance in from the west. for northern ireland, for northern england, and especially scotland going into monday morning, could be some snow to relatively low levels, and quite icy and places to start monday. so don't get caught out by that. on monday, further showers especially in the south and west. wintry on hills in the north, hail and thunder possible with these as well. again, it will feel colder. it mayjust be another false start to winter though, because by the end of next week, it's likely to turn milder once again.
