this is bbc news. the headlines: the death toll from the coronavirus rises to 41, with authorities in china struggling to contain the outbreak as millions travel for the lunar new year. the virus has now spread to europe — the french health minister confirms three cases in france. translation: we have today the first european cases. it is possible we have them because we developed the test very quickly and we are capable of identifying them. at least 21 people have been killed and, more than 1,000 injured in a powerful earthquake in eastern turkey. a charity offering mental health support to military veterans says it can't take on new cases because of a funding crisis. football is far too dependant on sponsorship from gambling — warns the sports minister.

and coming up: the travel show heads to spain's culinary capital, san sebastian, to see how tourists are being overcharged for the local dish. health officials in china say the number of people who've died as a result of the new coronavirus has risen to at least 41. state media is reporting that a doctor, who'd been working at the frontline of the outbreak in wuhan, is among the dead. the city is one of a number that have been effectively locked down by the chinese authorities, to try to stop the virus spreading. there are currently 1,287 confirmed cases across in china. most of those cases are in hubei, the province

which includes wuhan, a city that remains in lockdown. as chinese new year celebrations get underway, travel restrictions have been imposed on 13 chinese cities. and major events and venues across china have been cancelled or closed, including the disney resort in shanghai. elsewhere in the world, four new cases of the virus have been confirmed in australia as well as one in france. simonjones has this report. for some, the holiday celebrations have begun. but in wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak of coronavirus, it looks more like a ghost town. home to around 11 million people, while the streets are empty, the hospital's aren't, overwhelmed with potential cases. the symptoms include coughs, fever and breathing problems. the city is now rapidly building a new hospital which will have 1,000 beds. it could be ready within days, a

sign of the concern about the virus. some tourists flying out of china to the us were relieved. we were cool at first but then when everything started shutting down we thought we should leave. i have been in and out of china a few times and this is one of the rare times that i felt like it was time for me to leave. in france though, confirmation that the virus has spread. translation: we have today, the first european cases. it's possible that we have them because we developed the test very quickly and we are capable of identifying them. tests in the uk have so far proved negative. we think there is a fair chance we may get some cases over time. of course, this depends on whether this continues for a long time, or whether this turns out to be something which is brought under control relatively quickly by the considerable efforts of the chinese government. those efforts involve travel restrictions in an increasing number of cities.

medics from the military are being sentin medics from the military are being sent in to try to contain the outbreak. but the world health organization has not classed the virus as an international emergency, partly because of the low number of overseas cases. simon jones, bbc news. kathleen bell is a british ex—pat living in wuhan who is heeding the warnings to stay at home. she says that local government officials there are coming under fire for the way they have been dealing with the outbreak. there have been new policies put into place, and there has been a crackdown by the local government. i do think that heads will roll in local government. there is a chinese chat group, where local people are wondering about how they can build an isolation hospital within five days, but they still can't get enough masks to people. 0r tests to

diagnose whether they have the virus, or not. 0ur china correspondent stephen mcdonell is heading west out he tweeted as he went, saying that chinese cities bordering hubei province, where the outbreak started, appear to be going into semi—lockdown. he also tweeted this photo taken on board a high speed train heading towards hubei province — it would normally be completely full around the lunar new year holiday. and he also posted this video of screening at a check point close to the border with hubei, where he and his colleagues had their temperatures checked before being allowed to proceed. he sent this report once he arrived in the province. this is hubei province, where this virus this is hubei province, where this vii’us emergency this is hubei province, where this virus emergency started. as you can see, it is pretty quiet for the first day of the year, year of the rat. there is pretty much nobody on

the street here. when we came in, the street here. when we came in, the police said we could enter this province, but they would not let us back out. what this shows is that it looks like the authorities are preparing to lockdown this entire province of 60 million people. when you look around the street here, this is just you look around the street here, this isjust one you look around the street here, this is just one of the towns you come across when you first enter the province. those who are out on the streets are wearing masks, and you can understand why. people are very worried, hospitals here have been overwhelmed with the sick. there is footage on social media showing medical teams crying, worked to the outer limit. we have seen doctors coming in from shanghai to help, military medics have also arrived to bolster the numbers. and still, the

challenge is enormous, with the numbers going up and up. peoplejust don't know for how long it is going to be like this, for how long they have to stay indoors, or risk being infected with this potentially deadly corona virus, which causes pneumonia. let's talk now to dr zhou xun, a professor of modern history at the university of essex. thank you forjoining us. in terms of what we have seen, the way the chinese authorities have handled this. what do you make of it? when i heard about it, my immediate reaction is this is potentially risky because people could go into hiding infearof risky because people could go into hiding in fear of being penalised, and also the social stigma the

disease carries. but most of all, people don't trust the health system in china. we have heard that, you know, the front line workers have been killed, people are saying i am not going to hospital because even the doctors can't protect themselves, how can they protect us? this says something about the chinese health system, which is overloaded, inefficient, expensive and chaotic. in the past few years, we had lots of things about the so—called medical disturbances, which have physically been violence against doctors and medical staff. it is because people have lost trust in the health system in china, which counter protects the sick people and

with some kind of outbreak, it is a prime example that the chinese health system is ill—equipped to deal with emergencies like this. there is no systematic prevention programme, it is basically reactive, rather than proactive. you would imagine that after sars they would get their act together with a systematic prevention programme, but they didn't. the only thing they did was convert different health units into cdc, but there is no systematic prevention programme will stop as a result, when things like this happen and they run out of testing kits, and they run out of testing kits, and they run out of beds, they come to cope, there is not enough staff, funds, enough resources, to cope with an emergency like that. can i just say, one angle we are seeing on

reuters is that china ‘s hubei party boss says that to ensure supplies of emergency materials and medium to long—term reserves amid the outbreak that they are going to basically make sure that there are essential supplies. we are seeing this incredible move to shutdown cities, and to try to stop the spread now. we have seen health professionals here saying china has been very open in terms of sharing information on the virus to try and help everyone globally. but the problem is it is already difficult to contain. we heard that earlier. they should have done something right from the start, but they didn't. when did you first know that this virus had emerged?” was in china at christmas and i heard about it. i heard about cases

through social media and i wondered when they will act on it and they didn't. not until this last week, when the numbers suddenly tripled. what about their actions now? in terms of where we are now, do you think the world can have confidence that by closing down cities and by building a second hospital in wuhan that they will be able to contain it? i doubt so because, as i said earlier, some people, when they heard the news that they were going to lockdown the city, some people had already escaped the city. we don't know where they are. and others are in hiding. they are hidden from radars, so it is much more dangerous this way will stop they could help spread the disease.

this has happened before, with the sars epidemic. when rural migrants contracted the virus in the factories, they started to escape, and that was after the quarantine was imposed. they escaped back to their villages and they helped to spread the disease. this has also happened in history, during the cholera epidemic in the philippines in the early 20th century. the american army imposed quarantine and villages just went into hiding. american army imposed quarantine and villagesjust went into hiding. we understand those concerns, thank you very much indeed. rescue workers in turkey are continuing to search for survivors after an earthquake in the east of the country killed at least 20 people and left more than 900 injured. the 6.8 magnitude quake caused buildings to collapse, and was felt in neighbouring countries.

gareth barlow reports. rescuers carry survivors out from the rubble. the 6.8 magnitude quake sent buildings crashing to the ground and residents rushing into the streets. the exact moment the earthquake struck, captured live on turkish tv. amid the inky darkness, among ruined buildings, screams rang out as more than 400 rescue teams rushed to help survivors. dozens of aftershocks followed the main tremor, which was also felt in neighbouring syria, lebanon and iran. the region, 550 kilometres east of the capital ankara, is remote and sparsely populated

so the true extent of the damage and fatalities could be slow to emerge. turkey lies on major fault lines and is prone to frequent earthquakes — around 17,000 people died in a massive quake in 1999. gareth barlow, bbc news. the uk's leading mental health charity for military veterans, combat stress, has told the bbc that it's unable to deal with new cases because of a funding crisis. from monday, former service personnel in england and wales will be re—directed to the nhs for treatment. the charity receives more than 2,000 referrals every year, and treats people suffering from the most complex mental health problems, such as post traumatic stress disorder. i'm joined now by sue freeth, the ceo of combat stress, the veterans mental health charity. yourfunding your funding has been yourfunding has been cut. what is the reason you have been given? over

the reason you have been given? over the last few years, the amount of funds we have had from government has been declining, and that is partly due to decisions to redistribute the funds we previously had in response to growing demand to, to get it closer to where people live. we have no issue with increasing the amount of funds that go towards supporting veterans and theirfamilies, but go towards supporting veterans and their families, but we go towards supporting veterans and theirfamilies, but we have been saying that our service compliments what the nhs provides. wants people have been stabilised from crisis, our service helps people to recover and it is life—saving. most veterans who turn to us, 80% have already tried or use the nhs, but it has not been sufficient to help them to make a full recovery. so what do you do thatis a full recovery. so what do you do that is different? we have a multidisciplinary team, so we have both a psychologist, a psychologist, occupational therapists and nurses, so we can occupational therapists and nurses, so we can work intensively in the

way that the nhs is not able to in mental health for this group of people. we can do this over a long period of time. we have published very good outcomes, we are very good outcomes, we are internationally recognised for our work. for some time we have been saying, work. for some time we have been by work. for some time we have been saying, by all means increase the amount of funds, but not at the expense of the porteous group of vetera ns expense of the porteous group of veterans in the country. what state are people in when they come to you? many people don't have a home, and many are considering or have attempted to take their own lives. theirfamilies are attempted to take their own lives. their families are the ones who say, they need help. because we can work with people at their own pace, we have a graduated way of working with people. they can take two years before an individual is ready to start their programme. we work with people at their own pace, and that makes the difference. they do their treatment and support with other

vetera ns treatment and support with other veterans who have served in the armed forces, who have similar military —related mental health needs. that works well for them. it might sound an obvious question, but there have been a number of conflicts in recent years, but have certain conflicts are good more patients coming to see you? what is it specifically that has made them end up in this state? we see vetera ns end up in this state? we see veterans from all the conflicts that the uk armed forces have fought in. the largest group used to be vetera ns the largest group used to be veterans who served in northern ireland. a lot of people have served at one time or another, but now, since afghanistan and iraq, in combination younger veterans are turning to us. they had repeat, triple, sometimes quadruple deployments to iraq and afghanistan and these have had a curative effect on individuals. is it because they have been directly, as part of their

tour, had to take actions themselves? multiple traumas accumulate over the lifetime of someone accumulate over the lifetime of someone who has served in the armed forces. it may be that they have been involved in a number of different situations. there will be situations that civilian cou nterpa rts situations that civilian counterparts have never been exposed to, so they may be someone who has been involved in a clear up operation after an explosion. they may be someone who has lost a colleague literally serving by their side. they may be someone who is a medic, they may be someone who has worked in clear up operations in genocide areas. these are extreme situations, and it is only really very slowly and gradually that you can build hope with an individual, and confidence that they deserve support. they have served the country, they are the most deserving, aren't they? so you just

wa nt deserving, aren't they? so you just want more funding directly into your charity? we do. we think this group of people warrant dedicated funding and support and it has been lost. thank you. the headlines: the death toll from the coronavirus has risen to a1, with more than 1200 cases confirmed in china. this is a live shot in china. sorry, thatis this is a live shot in china. sorry, that is not china. that is pictures from turkey, where at least 21 people have been killed and more than 1000 injured in a powerful earthquake in eastern turkey. these are the rescuers are searching for survivors. a charity helping military veterans as it can't take on new cases because of a funding crisis.

sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's ben croucher. england have lost three wickets in the last 20 minutes in the second day of the final test against south africa. after the late start, england resumed on 192—a and have now moved on to 269—7. 0llie pope was bowled for 56. captainjoe root also went to a half—century but has just gone out. sam curran lasted one ball. ben stokes should find out if he will be punished today for his outbreak at a fan yesterday. he reacted angrily to a verbal attack in the crowd. security staff have been told to be more proactive in monitoring abusive comments. this happens far too often. it happened at this ground the last time england we re at this ground the last time england were there. there is a fine line

between banter from the crowd and personal abuse, and personal abuse has to stop. people think they have paid their money, they can go along and say what they want. you would not say that to someone on the street. you would not pass someone in the street and come out with that sort of thing. as much as ben knows he should not have reacted in that way, something has to be done to stop it. it is day six of the australian open tennis in melbourne, where rafael nadal wasted little energy in reaching the fourth round. john watson has been watching it. we have a mouthwatering match for the number one next. yes, because at the moment all eyes are on the melbourne arena where nick kyrgios is in action. he has taken the first two sets and he is hoping and looking likely to be set to book his place in the last 16, where he will face rafael nadal, who came past his contract period pablo busta. no love lost between

rafael nadal and nick kyrgios. rafael nadal and nick kyrgios. rafael nadal and nick kyrgios. rafael nadal suggested he lacks a bit of respect for himself and for the game, and those who enjoy watching it. it will be a fascinating match when these to potentially meet, as is looking likely. it all goes back to when ruffin iredale —— rafael nadal famously lost to nick kyrgios back in 201a. we went to see —— we wait to see if that match will happen. there were eight fewer shocks in the women's draw. three of the top six seeds have fallen. yes, they have indeed. the latest to 90, yes, they have indeed. the latest to go, the number two seed, carolyn. it means that we have lost three of the top five seeds. you just wonder, there is a sense that things are really opening up in the women's

draw, and you feel as well, in light of some of those big casualties yesterday we saw the defending champion in the women's singles go out. resort serena williams go out as well. she won't be winning that 2ath grand slam title this year. it really is opening up in the women's draw. many people are saying that this could be the year for carolina and it is certainly opening up. the fifth seed also went out today. as we know, we saw roger federer given a real work—out by the australian last night and it does feel as though something is in the offing this year, and we could well see some younger players coming through to really challenge the established order in the men's game. john watson in melbourne, thank you.

you can watch live coverage of the fa cup across the bbc this weekend. three live games starting with bre ntford three live games starting with brentford taking on leicester city on bbc one at 12:a5pm. there is also a p°p‘up on bbc one at 12:a5pm. there is also a pop—up fa cup channel on bbc iplayer. that's all your support for now. football is far too dependant on money from gambling sponsorships, according to the sports minister, nigel adams. his warning comes amid mounting scrutiny of the close relationship between the sport and the industry after a deal was struck for some fa cup games to be shown exclusively on betting websites. here's our sports editor, dan roan. the last round of the fa cup was overshadowed by an outcry over a deal that meant some matches were only shown live on bookmakers‘ websites. there's since been a climb—down, but the controversy has reignited concern at how much betting companies use football to advertise. and having committed to reviewing gambling laws,

the government says it now wants to see change. there is way too much dependency within football on gambling, firms' sponsorship. that's plain to see. we have to look at this very, very carefully because problem gambling, you know, addictive gambling, leads to serious social problems. and i am sure the football authorities are aware of that but they do need to look at different sources of income. meanwhile, the government has announced the paralympics have been added to the crown jewels list of protected sports events that must be shown on free to air television coverage. it's absolutely essential that the paralympics have parity with the olympics. and if you look at the viewing figures over the years at successive games, and how interested people are in the paralympic games, it's absolutely worth ensuring we level up. sports like para table tennis have enjoyed free to air coverage of the paralympics on channel a

since london 2012, but terrestrial tv coverage is now guaranteed. my family are so supportive, family and friends are very supportive and a lot of them are coming out to tokyo. but in the future if they can't, if someone can't afford it or something, it's really nice knowing that they'll actually still be able to watch me back at home. this is the first change to the listed events in 20 years and there may be more to come. the government also now considering adding women's events like the world cup and the fa cup final in a sign of their growing popularity. dan roan, bbc news. trading standards is warning home owners that they could be at risk of losing large amounts of money if they sell their properties using so called quick sale estate agents. the organisation says it's seen dozens of examples of people being exploited and losing tens of thousands of pounds from the market value of their homes. radio a's money box reporter daniel whitworth is here. what exactly is trading standards worried about?

a quick sale estate agent is someone who will offer to sell your house within seven or 1a days, for either at or very near the market value. they differ from traditional high street estate agents, which would normally take much longer to sell your house, up to eight weeks or even longer. so the big selling point for these quick sale estate agents is they will sell it quickly. trading standards is concerned because if you are a customer of one of these agents, by definition you need a quick sale, you need the money. you might be going through a divorce, your business might have trouble. either way, you need the money from your house. so if you are using one of these quick sale estate agents, trading standards is concerned that some rogue companies might exploit that desperation, and might exploit that desperation, and might basically hit people for tens of thousands of pounds from their homes. in terms of making up a price? yes, because quick sale estate agents only make their money, generally speaking, when you sell

your home. if quick sale estate agents say they can lower this by £20,000 or 30,000 pans, they are not too bothered as long as they get the sale. that's the accusation from trading standards. if you are the homeowner, you don't necessarily wa nt homeowner, you don't necessarily want that to happen. but if you are desperate for a sale and you need the money, you might do things that you are not necessarily completely behind. but is it not obvious that if you need to sell your house quickly, the only way is to cut the price and that is a calculation you have to make. in many cases, these quick sale estate agents provide a service. there is nothing wrong with that service, nothing illegal, and it works for many people. i think trading standards is worried about some of the rogue elements within this part of the estate agent industry. we have spoken, for example, to several case studies who have had the offer price of their homes are lowered without their permission. not only is that illegal, that is a potential breach of consumer rights legislation and

it is also, if you imagine one lady we spoke to, she agreed and offer price for £250,000 for a three bed semi and the company she was using dropped it to £230,000 without her permission. that's potentially £20,000. if someone looks at the house and says, hold on a minute, it is £230,000, why are you advertising it at £250,000? then all of a sudden, she could have lost £20,000. what kind of advice is there for people looking to sell their home? never be rushed into a deal, always going to these things with your eyes wide open, and if you can, get independent legal advice. thank you. eagle—eyed star trek fans have spotted something strangely familiar about the new us space force logo. here's the original star trek emblem, as seen on those famous coloured uniforms. and here is the space force logo.

it was revealed by president donald trump, and the striking resemblance has got people talking, including a former star trek star. george takei, who played lieutenant sulu in the original 1960s series, tweeted he was "expecting royalties". now, time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. the picture behind me sums up the weather for today. 0vercast across most of the uk. there is a change on the way. tomorrow we are expecting some rain. it will rain in the west of the country first thing on sunday. here is the weather for the rest of today. 0vercast skies, around eight celsius, and we are watching the skies to the north—west of the country. freshening wins and outbreaks of rain through this evening. you can see this weather front evening. you can see this weather fro nt m oves evening. you can see this weather front moves into western parts of the uk through the course of the night, so by the early hours of

sunday, it is just about reining from
