9:32 am
you join me at a great moment. plenty of australians turning out to see ash party. ash party is the world number 1 and see ash party. ash party is the world number1 and home favourite here. her opponent beecher at wimbledon last year. she will be hoping for a different outcome this year. it is currently going with serve. it is australia day here, as well, so a huge amount of support, hope and expectation that ash party can deliver the result today as she looks to go deep into the 2nd week in the 1st grand slam of the year. a former french open champion, as well. she has endeared herself to the australian public. she has been behind the bushfire effort and the funds that have been raised. i spoke toa funds that have been raised. i spoke to a reporter here and asked her why
9:33 am
she was so popular with the australian public. australians have really got behind her because it has been such a long time since we had a number1. she been such a long time since we had a number 1. she plays such a beautiful, classic game and is amazing to watch. in the past we have had nick kyrgios, number1 ranked player, but she plays such a different game and has such a different game and has such a different personality. she is a very kind person. she really thinks about everything she says and is a great ambassador for australian tennis. she is indeed. her presence on the court has lifted spirits. coco mania is over. disappointment for coco gauff. i am sure we will be speaking about her often in the future. a future grand slam champion. roger
9:34 am
federer and novak djokovic on court today. comfortable again for the defending champion. he marches on. he is looking for a record extending 8th australian open title. you wouldn't bet against him to do at this year. what a schedule we have in store on the main show court. if you are not watching ash party, roger federer will be there later. his opponent later is playing the best tennis of his career to date. when you consider roger federer was given a real tough examination by another australian, john milner, in the last round, those 5 sets, you will wonder if that will leave roger federer feeling the effects on that night match on the show court. thank
9:35 am
you, john. thank you, john. england's cricketers are on course to win the final test against south africa and seal a series win. the south african innings has steadied. it is 153— 7, in pursuit of ankle's 400. michael carberry is pa rt of ankle's 400. michael carberry is part of the cricket social and joins us how. part of the cricket social and joins us now. 88— 6 overnight. what has not worked today for the england bowlers started work yesterday?” think the ball has done a bit less. credit to the 2 south african batsmen this morning. they got stuck m, batsmen this morning. they got stuck in, put away the bad ball, pop test match batting. i don't think from a bowling point of view it has been
9:36 am
horrendous for england. i think the ball has just horrendous for england. i think the ball hasjust done horrendous for england. i think the ball has just done a little bit less. we a re ball has just done a little bit less. we are going into the 3rd day with the sun has got on the wicket, tried it out, so probably not as much lateral movement. they will have to be very patient today. we enjoyed mark wood smashing the ball around yesterday. he took 3 wickets, as well. he said he has been working ha rd as well. he said he has been working hard on his batting. in the context of the game, it has turned out to be a crucial knock with stuart broad chipping in, as well. great to see him back playing cricket in general. he has had a tough couple of years with his injuries. he has changed his bowling action. he has extended his bowling action. he has extended his run—up and he looks really good, really fits and looks like he's enjoying his cricket again. he is a character, a great guy so just
9:37 am
pleased to see him back. we came into the series wondering if england's had a workable opening partnership. now zach crawley has emerged to replace rory burns. as a former international opener, what do you make of that situation? obviously, pleased to see it. it is a part of the game i am still very passionate about. great to see that the england hierarchy have invested in these young players. that is the most important thing. opening the batting is a tough job and you need to give these guys time and invest in them. they will not be overnight su ccesses . in them. they will not be overnight successes. it will take them time to get their feet under the table. it is no surprise to me they have done well. 3 guys have come in after being heavy run scorers in county cricket. that way of thinking has to
9:38 am
be the way for england going forward , be the way for england going forward, picking guys who are doing it every week in the county game. south africa still trailing by 242. thank you, michael. liverpool, manchester city and manchester united will be hoping to avoid an fa giantkilling this afternoon as they all face opposition from the leagues below. this is what united will be playing on at tranmere this afternoon. much has been made of the pitch at prenton park. not in perfect condition, if we're honest. the league one side knocked out watford here on thursday. tranmere will be hoping to emulate west brom, who were the only lower league side to knock a premier league team out of the fourth round yesterday. maybe not a massive shock, as west brom are top of the second tier and west ham are struggling in the premier league, but conor townsend's strike proved the difference at the london stadium. chelsea avoided a similar upset, though. they squeezed their way past hull city 2—1. fikayo tomori scored their second with this header. oxford united's 4,000 travelling fans had a day to remember at stjames' park. they didn't beat newcastle, but
9:39 am
the goalless draw means they will now get a lucrative replay at the kassam stadium. it's women's fa cup fourth round weekend too. 15 ties today. the one yesterday saw holders manchester city progress at the expense of local rivals manchester united. england forward ellen white scored either side of half—time in 3—2 win. she said they made hard work of it, but are pleased to be in the draw for the last 16. chelsea is hoping its latest attempt to tackle anti—semitism will change behaviour as the uk marks holocaust memorial day tomorrow. anti—semitic songs and chants aimed at rivals tottenham hotspur have been heard repeatedly from some chelsea followers and condemned by the club. now, three of football's own victims of nazi persecution are being depicted on the side of chelsea's stadium. our correspondentjoe wilson's been to see it. at chelsea, the reality of football's connections to the holocaust. this man, killed in auschwitz. this man, killed at
9:40 am
auschwitz. this man, killed at auschwitz. welshman ronjones, the goalkeeper of auschwitz, survived appalling conditions. the bureau aimed at chelsea followers who use anti—semitism in the so—called support. the owner of chelsea is jewish. the issue has caused deep embarrassment here. will it make a difference? we are hopeful that the whole project will make a difference. in other words, whole project will make a difference. in otherwords, each individual project that we engage m, individual project that we engage in, it is hard to say that anyone would make a difference, but we will continue this indefinitely and hopefully we will move the needle. these are foundation stones. chelsea's women loftus—cheek is creating his own design. the plan is for the stones to be added to the foundations of the uk's new holocaust memorial and learning centre. new ways to keep the lessons
9:41 am
alive. we have brains and hearts and can understand the difference between good and bad, between evil and doing good. this is exactly the watershed of our behaviour. we must a lwa ys watershed of our behaviour. we must always stand with good and be on the right side of history. it is an issue for everybody, but football and footballers generate almost unmatched attention. the id is if you come to chelsea the mural will be unmissable, so perhaps finally will be the message. now if like me even touching your toes can be a bit of a challenge. one chap's athleticism can put us all to shame. this has been a hit on social media. a south korean taekwondo athlete. you kinda know what's going to come next. if the somersault and backflip weren't impressive enough. just look at the height he gets!
9:42 am
that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's ben with with the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are prashant rao, international editor of the atlantic and katherine forster, journalist at the sunday times. let's take a look at the front pages. the mail on sunday claims the government has evacuation plans for britons stuck in the coronavirus hit city of wuhan in china. the sunday telegraph leads with a story about the firm behind the high speed rail project. so too does the observer. they say scrapping hs2 would cost 12 billion pounds
9:43 am
in write offs and compensation. the sunday times claims borisjohnson‘s brexit day celebrations could be overshadowed by a "diplomatic war" with us president donald trump over the pm's plans to give chinese telecoms firm huawei access to the britain's 5g network. the sunday express devotes its front page to borisjohnson‘s plans post brexit britain. the sunday mirror interviews one of the victims of multiple sex offender reynhard sinaga. let's go through them in a bit more detail. let's kick off with the corona virus in china. now the british angle on the mail on sunday. an error left to help get out the british citizens who are trapped in the city that is the source of the outbreak. there are over 200 british citizens in that area. up until now, the position of the government has
9:44 am
been that they didn't want to remove those people, they didn't want to bring them back to the uk as it could potentially bring the virus here. however, these people are feeling increasingly abandoned and quite desperate. they are our responsibility, after all. partly, the foreign office has been shamed into a change of tactic. the united states and france are making moves to get there people out. dominic rab has performed a u—turn and is now seriously looking at how they might ever people out. that is going to be problematic because lots of these areas are in lockdown. even if we can manage to get these people out and bring them here, where do we put them? it's and bring them here, where do we put them ? it's not like and bring them here, where do we put them? it's not like we can just whip up them? it's not like we can just whip upa them? it's not like we can just whip up a hospital especially for them in 10 days. it is very difficult, but moves 10 days. it is very difficult, but m oves a re 10 days. it is very difficult, but moves are afoot to do something. how alarm should we be by this virus? you don't want to be alarmist about
9:45 am
it, but it is clearly very concerning, the rapid spread of this virus. exactly as you put it. being alarmed but not being alarmist is the balance we have to strike. there are health efficiency and what they are health efficiency and what they are doing, that no much more than we do. there is lots of advice in the newspapers, to call the nhs hotline if you feel something is out of order. the difficulty with something like this is i imagine a lot of other people, if they cast on my back to 2003 commissars, and china was at the heart of what became a global outbreak of a disease. 1 of the concerns them was china was less than transparent about the information they released. the worry is how transparent will the authorities be now, how cooperative are they being? people are saying they are being more transparent than they are being more transparent than they were. yes, i think lessons have
9:46 am
been learned. i grew up in hong kong and it is a place that has very poor memories of sars. it has many impacts beyond just the health impacts, like how we deal with china, how we view them. let's look at the sunday telegraph. this is a story on scientists hoping that a vaccine is just a few weeks away. that would be incredibly welcome. vaccine is just a few weeks away. that would be incredibly welcomem certainly would. british researchers at imperial college in london are working on a vaccine and are hoping it would be ready for testing on animals by the middle of next month, then on humans shortly after that. britain is1 then on humans shortly after that. britain is 1 of the only countries apart from china to have a specific test for the disease. we had over 2000 people that have recently returned from that area to britain
9:47 am
in the last couple of weeks. now the advice to them is if you start to feel fever, cough, problems breathing, stay—at—home and full your doctor. but no confirmed cases yet. none yet, but surely it is only a matter of time. every time you look at the news that the death toll has gone up and it has reached another country. this does give some hope that there will be something that will be done that will be able to deal with this. the scary thing about the virus is you don't know how far and how fast it has spread. a lot of people were travelling for the chinese new year before this broke out. there is the tragedy of the timing. this is a really important moment in the calendar for people who celebrate lunar new year. this is very fast and it is
9:48 am
heartening that lots of people are working on this. i have no doubt that the best people are putting their minds to it. as you rightly point out, people will come back and how do we appropriately treat them and protect them, but also protect society. it will be the middle of next month, that is 4 weeks away. then more weeks after that. this is a solution, but along the way there are so many a solution, but along the way there are so many problems that need to be addressed. angry donald trump casting a cloud on brexit day. boris johnson has been told he is on course for a diplomatic war with mr trump over plans to hand huawei britain's 5 g network. would that be
9:49 am
a huge transatlantic split?” britain's 5 g network. would that be a huge transatlantic split? i think this is very, very difficult and extremely u nfortu nate this is very, very difficult and extremely unfortunate timing given that we are about to leave the eu on friday and we are in need of a great trade deal with the us. the states know this. apparently we will get the decision from nicky morgan, or baroness morgan asher should not call her, does that make it look like we will do whatever donald trump tells us in the pocket of the states? but i think there are very genuine security concerns about having
9:50 am
huawei and i have a huawei phone. i got it a long time before all of this happened. and it was cheap. and wonderful. i regret gritting it now. it will be excluded from sensitive locations such as westminster, royal naval bases. letting china into our infrastructure is a risky game. don't even start me on hinkley point power station. i am going to move you on. we have h52 to talk about another huge decision the government has got to make whether to scrap it, the costs going to £106,000,000,000. while, we have something else to
9:51 am
talk about. i don't think there is anyone who suggests britainpoz— macro infrastructure does not need an upgrade. the difficulty becomes, how do we as regular people comprehend how much it should cost. it is £106,000,000,000 the appropriate amount? it is a huge amount but is it in relative terms the correct amount. the 12,000,000,000... difficult thing. borisjohnson has to make a decision fairly quickly. in the observer, they say it is the only shovel ready project in britain right now for the next 5 years. if britain wants to invest in infrastructure, this is the option. the sunday times have a story about jeremy corbyn. he will spend the next couple of months trying to make sure there is a corbyn legacy. he is
9:52 am
going to go to iraq, among other places. i do find it quite extraordinary. a lot of people would say his legacy is the worst labour defeat in generations. rebecca long baillie, who is seen as being the continuity corbyn candidate, although she would deny that, will join him. he will go to iraq to push that way our anti—war message. he will support people in action against climate change. he is going with rebecca lauren baillie to tour traditional labour seats that voted to leave. i'm not entirely sure what thatis to leave. i'm not entirely sure what that is going to achieve. i think many people there will feel that labourdid many people there will feel that labour did not listen to their concerns and in pushing more of the
9:53 am
same are not listening still. who do you think will be the new labour leader? the pool seemed to indicate it is keirstarmerand leader? the pool seemed to indicate it is keir starmer and rebecca lauren baillie are the front—runners. it is perfectly understandable that jeremy corbyn wants to leave a legacy. he believes in his version of the labour project. for a lot of labour members, they will take the interpretation you put out there of this disastrous election result. they will want to see something that is not connected tojeremy they will want to see something that is not connected to jeremy corbyn. how does he leave a legacy while bringing new people on board? this is another story on the front page of the sunday times about very rich people who don't mind paying lots of tax. jk rowling amongst others. unlike google and amazon, we should say. every year the sunday times puts out its list of the top taxpayers in the uk. it is topped by
9:54 am
the bet 365 founder, denise coates, who paid £270,000,000 in tax. she gets paid more than any other woman on the planet. also people like james dyson, jk rowling. there was a lovely q u ote james dyson, jk rowling. there was a lovely quote from jk rowling who set that when her life hit rock bottom she was dependent on benefits as a single mother. she said it would have been contemptible to scarper to the west indies at the 1st sniff of a7 the west indies at the 1st sniff of a 7 figure royalty check. if only more people take that attitude. of course there are a lot of rich britons not on this list because they evade tax. he mentioned brexit this friday. we have this coin, this 50p coin, 3,000,000 of them have been made to commemorate brexit day.
9:55 am
michael heseltine saying that the brexit celebrations will be rubbing oui’ brexit celebrations will be rubbing our noses in it. it is hard to look at this. 52— our noses in it. it is hard to look at this. 52- 48 our noses in it. it is hard to look at this. 52— 48 is the number of times in britain. lots of people didn't want it to happen. at night is. it seems to me that if we talk about governments wanting to put forward positive narratives and about what is to come it doesn't seem about what is to come it doesn't seem unreasonable for a government to say this is a day that we should mark. it is something that should be in some ways pointed to. how they choose to do it we can debate. the fa ct choose to do it we can debate. the fact they are doing it at all, michael heseltine talks about brexit as being the most divisive issue. on the other side there are a large numberof the other side there are a large number of people who wanted to leave. justice celebrates its and
9:56 am
say it is wrong, i'm not sure if i agree with that. we haven't got big ben. no, we don't, but flags will be flown in parliament square, buildings will be lit up in red white and blue and there will be a light display in downing street. it isa light display in downing street. it is a moment in time. so it should be celebrated whether you are for or against? i don't have a problem with it. at some point people have to move on. when will the recriminations end? move on. when will the recriminations end ? it move on. when will the recriminations end? it doesn't seem to be soon. if you don't want to look at it, don't look at it. don't go down to parliament square. don't ta ke go down to parliament square. don't take a new 50p coin! 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
9:57 am
later on bbc iplayer. that is it from us, goodbye. well, we have had a week are very settled weather across the uk, not necessarily sunny all the time, but not much change from day to day. things are expected to change in the coming days. there is already rain and western parts of the uk. the rain will only last dot macro excuse me. we have clouds coming into western parts of the uk. showers following behind and that means that later on today across western areas of the uk where the skies will clear we are going to get some showers and some of them could be quite wintry. let's have a look at the forecast for the next few hours. we have the outbreaks of rain across western
9:58 am
parts of the uk, moving across the country. at the time we get to lunchtime it will be a more central and northern areas of the uk. east anglia and the south—east gets the rain later on. out in the west, the skies will clear. later in the afternoon fine weather for belfast and glasgow, and a decent sunset. later on this evening and overnight we are expecting showers to move into northern ireland, scotland and the north of england. that means that it could be some wintry nests around over the night. perhaps some snow settling on the scottish hills and in northern ireland and possibly northern ireland, too. it could be icy patches and slushy weather on the roads for the rush—hour. further south, none of that. tomorrow, a day of showers with sunshine was prevalent in eastern parts of the
9:59 am
uk. in the west, more frequent showers. let's have a look at the forecast for the next few days. by monday, the low pressure is still very much with us and it is in charge of much of the weather in europe, as well. cooler wins, as well. a windy day expected on tuesday. showers and western areas will be frequent. the coldest weather for monday and tuesday will be in the northern part of the country. in the south, it never gets that cold but there are hints as we head towards the end of the week, it could turn just that little bit milder. that's it from me. you are up—to—date.
10:00 am
this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at ten... the death toll from the coronavirus in china rises to 56 — officials warn the spread of the virus is accelerating and the country faces a grave situation. it seems that the spreading ability of the virus is getting stronger. as the us announces plans to fly some of its citizens home, the foreign office is urging british citizens to leave and advising against further travel to the hubei province. a member of the grenfell tower inquiry panel resigns over links with the firm that supplied the tower block's deadly cladding.
