followed by a rash of heavy showers moving in from the west. some of these showers could bring some hail and thunder across parts of england and wales. for northern england, scotland and northern ireland, some sleet, ice and snow falling overnight, so it could be quite a difficult rush—hour on monday morning, and we are likely to see some ice and snow accumulating over mostly the higher ground, but even to some relatively lower levels. through the central belt, for instance, it could well be quite an icy start to monday morning. northern ireland and parts of northern england, particularly over higher ground, seeing some icy stretches too. further south, across england and wales, some showers rattling in, some of them heavy around the south coast and parts of wales. there could be some hail and thunder mixed in with some of these showers. further east across england and eastern scotland, it's looking mostly dry, but there will be plenty of showers blowing in across southern and western parts on that fairly brisk breeze, and it will feel colder than it has done recently, with temperatures around 5 to 9 degrees.

not too bad in the sunshine towards the east but, as we head through monday evening, you will notice that breeze really starting to pick up — particularly blustery through the english channel and the bristol channel as well. as we look towards tuesday, things are going to be staying fairly unsettled. we've got a westerly influence to our weather. this weather system is set to bring more in the way of rain, sleet and snow over some of the higher ground. parts of northern england and southern scotland prone to seeing some winteriness in those showers on tuesday. elsewhere, sunny spells, a scattering of showers, could be some hail and some thunder in some of them as well, and it's quite a chilly feeling day on tuesday. so really, through the week ahead, after that chilly start with some snow and ice, it looks drier midweek and then, once again, things turn mild and unsettled later in the week. bye for now.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. basketball legend kobe bryant has died at the age of 41. he was killed in a helicopter crash in la, along with four others. 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". the foreign office is urging britons to leave the province where the outbreak began, and is advising against further travel there.

a member of the grenfell tower inquiry panel resigns over links with the firm that supplied the tower block's deadly cladding. the government hints that the hs2 high—speed rail project will go ahead, even though a formal review of the new line is taking place over concerns about rising costs. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are martin bentham, the home affairs editor at the evening standard, and rachel cunliffe, the comment and features editor for city am. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph leads with a warning from the us over the uk government's decision on huawei technology. the metro covers the death of basketball star kobe bryant.

so too does the daily mail, along with their campaign to clean up britain's litter. the guardian has a warning from experts that about 100,000 people may have the coronavirus. the i reports on the britons still stranded in the coronavirus—hit city of wuhan in china. the daily star says we should expect widespread snow and winter's coldest night tomorrow. let's begin with the story of the coronavirus, which we are warned is spreading, and it's too late to contain it in many parts of china. the guardian is where we will begin, experts fear 100,000 may have the virus now rachel, worldwide. this is a professor of public health who says his best guess is that 100,000 people are infected, even though there are only 2000 known cases so far, and that is because this virus

seems to have quite a long incubation period, so people can haveit incubation period, so people can have it and be able to spread it and be contagious but not have symptoms forup to be contagious but not have symptoms for up to two weeks, and obviously thatis for up to two weeks, and obviously that is a long time to come into contact with a lot of people and to travel, which is why there are fears it is spreading, which is particularly worrying given the people who have been in parts of china that are at risk and have now come back to parts of europe and even the uk are not exhibiting symptoms, but could be infecting people and we don't know about it yet. that's the worst case scenario. there might be a case for trying to trace people in other parts of the world who have come back from china longer ago than the authorities had originally thought. they were tracing people who'd come back from china within a few days, but it might need to be longer. yes, but you could end up chasing your tail, because you might find somebody and they could have infected somebody, theoretically, in the meantime, so it could, potentially, be a very

serious problem. the only consolation, i think you had an expert on earlier who was making the point that, although it seemed to be quite easy to pass from human to human, the actual fatality rate is still higher than we would want, but not the most potent virus that there has ever been, in that respect, so although of course the shadow health secretary is talking and the strain already with winter flu at all that type of thing, but there is always that type of problem, and people are generally less well in the winter, and it's the wrong time in this part of the world for it to be hitting people, because people tend to be more vulnerable in the winter, with other illnesses, then perhaps in the summer. other illnesses, then perhaps in the summer. if it does arrive, it may be slightly more dangerous than it otherwise might be. metro says, trapped in virus city. british people is the focus of this story, who are trapped in parts of china which have been at the centre of it, notably wuhan. how they are going to

be helped, if at all, to try and get home. it's difficult, because although other countries, the us and france, and so on, are thinking about and making plans apparently to re move about and making plans apparently to remove some of their citizens, again, there is a danger that you don't want to move people... if people are brought out, presumably they will have to be in quarantine for some time, especially as the incubation period appears to be looking longer than was thought, so there are quite extensive precautions that have to be taken before you start moving people out who might then have the danger of spreading it when they come here, so i suppose it may actually turn out to be better to stay where you are, from a bigger public health point of view. i don't know, but it's obviously alarming if you are there. the right decision as to what to do is not clear. the containment effo rts is not clear. the containment efforts the chinese made, locking down more and more cities, and yet it is still too late, and it shows

how much people travel these days. how much people travel, but also we are unlucky that we have had this red chinese union year, when i think a billion people are on the move. —— around chinese new year. so all of these people travelling to numerous cities in numerous countries, and again not exhibiting symptoms, so thinking it is safe for them to travel and not realising they might be carrying it. i don't have an a nswer be carrying it. i don't have an answer for what the british government should be doing, but there seems to be a certain lack of communication, because the 200 to 300 bits trapped in the quarantine city, i think from these reports, don't feel the british government have been communicating with them as much as they would like, because they are obviously terrified, as anybody would be, and i think they wa nt anybody would be, and i think they want a bit more reassured that the government has a plan. turn the telegraph, three stories, the lead, huawei is threat to uk sovereignty,

us warns, another intervention, the last—minute intervention, as the 5g contract decision is set to be finalised tomorrow, but the us has not been backwards in coming forwards. treasury secretary must forget davos making similar noises, —— lost forget making similar noises. 56 technology is not new, but i suppose they are aiming to make a point that here we are in brexit week and that is all about, for many people, sovereignty and reasserting that or reclaiming some aspects of it, at least, so this headline and the uss comment —— us comment is aimed at that particular aspect of this decision, claiming that, if we don't control our data and can't be secure in it, we are risking our sovereignty. i am not sure it will necessarily change the decision, which seems to be, the report indicates, that the government will go ahead, partly because not doing so is going to

cause big delay and big costs and problematic in itself, but we will see. it is due to happen on tuesday, i think. the other issue is it is britain wanting to strike a trade deal with the united states, and it has to manage that relationship at the same time. yes, but we also want to manage our relationship with china, so the pressure is on both sides. china has put a lot of pressure on other countries, like germany and denmark, saying, if you make the decision to reject huawei, say goodbye to chinese investment and trade deals, which is something the government is also looking at, as well as stronger ties with the us. i think the idea of the us telling us, make this decision, otherwise you won't have sovereignty, i think that's a bit rich coming from them. they are essentially telling britain what to do with our own national security policy, which i am a bit dubious about. however, our other five allies, i think australia and new zealand, are also concerned about

huawei, so there are legitimate security concerns, but i'm not sure the tone of the us telling britain what we are allowed to do with our national infrastructure that we brexit is the right one to strike. it plays into a wider concern about having foreign investment in foreign control, as it is perceived, over big installations that are part of the national infrastructure, and similar things talked about with regard to nuclear power stations in the past. and also things like water, it is all part of the critical national infrastructure, albeit this is perhaps more sensitive, from an espionage point of view. that's what this is about, really. but i suppose the problem is sometimes, in this case, it's about who has got the technology and where you can get it from and, if you don't have it from huawei, where do you get it from? but i agree, of course, too often, these things are

not in our own control, elements of critical national infrastructure are not in our control, and that's not a reassuring place to be, necessarily, but perhaps, when somebody has developed technology that is ahead of others and you don't have an easy alternative to hand, that becomes a problem in itself. another story on the telegraph, you mentioned brexit, and this idea of sovereignty and how britain would be in control of its own destiny come friday, when we leave the eu. brexit will benefit farmers how so, rachel? it will benefit farmers if the government does benefit farmers if the government d oes exa ctly benefit farmers if the government does exactly what farming groups wa nt does exactly what farming groups want it to do, that's the gist of this story. 60 different lobbying groups, including the national farmers union at greenpeace and a host of others, they are calling on the government to use brexit as a chance to strengthen our food and agricultural safety rules, and basically saying, we are not leaving

the eu in order to have chlorinated chicken at all this other stuff that we don't want, we can become world leaders in ecological and food health and safety. it is interesting that you've got these two groups. greenpeace and the nfu are not normally on the same site. i think the reason they are doing this is because there are real fears that the government will water down our food health and safety rules in order to, as we were saying earlier, get that trade deal with the us, because that is a key sector the us is interested in. i think there is 110w is interested in. i think there is now a little bit of panic or concern, yes, we are leaving on friday, what are we going to do next? what are the sacrifices the government might make? there have been commitments by the government to maintain standards. yes, but i think they will to do that. i don't think they will to do that. i don't think they will give in, personally, to some of the threats and alarmist warnings that there have been about the likely consequences of brexit.

it's entirely possible to ensure our food production is done in a more environmentally friendly way, better for nature. the rspb is another organisation supporting this letter. clearly, they want to see exactly that happening, and we can do that, andl that happening, and we can do that, and i don't necessarily see that it is inevitable, by any means, that we will go down the opposite route of watering down our standards. i think it is entirely feasible that we won't and we will do the good thing, as we should do, of maintaining standards and having the freedom to uphold better production methods, in particular. i don't think it's inevitable that we will water them down, but you can't ignore the fact that that is what the us trade negotiators are being for. agriculture is a huge sector america is interested in, and it's notjust about trump and johnson and their relationship. any trade deal has to go through congress, and the two issues they are interested in is food safety and standards and the nhs, and if we are going to say we

are not doing either of them, we might end up with no trade deal. the nhs isa might end up with no trade deal. the nhs is a different thing, and food prices are already set outside the eu, it's nothing to do with the eu, so eu, it's nothing to do with the eu, so that's a different issue, i think. staying with the telegraph, caroline mulligan, the actor, 0scar judges don't watch the films. is this true? of course they don't! they have so many films to get through, and basically what she's about is a lack of diversity in the nomination categories, and the one which willie epitomises this is the fa ct which willie epitomises this is the fact that little women, loads of female actors, a female director, didn't get a female nomination for female director, and if that story had been told, a male director about men's stories, almost certainly it would have done. just drawing attention to the fact that the academy is 95% white and 70% male so, yeah, there is a lack of

diversity, and they are going to watch the films that personally appeal to them, not the hundreds that come out each year, so i am sure she is right they don't watch all of them. i certainly wouldn't!” don't know, they do or they don't, and it's likely they don't, and often award systems are slightly skewed, although i am not sure i agree with your analysis that, in itself, just because there is a lack of diversity... obviously it's desirable if there is representation in theory but, if the conclusion is, and it could be perfectly legitimate that it and it could be perfectly legitimate thatitis and it could be perfectly legitimate that it is not a diverse selection on any particular panel or any particular list, you don't want a situation where you have got to have a certain number, quotas of different things necessarily. but it's about that structural discrimination that people talk about a lot, that is never addressed if you don't change the make—up of the voting panel. we've been talking

about this for years now. it probably is, and i don't dispute that may be that is ultimately a problem, but you can't have the reverse position where you say, it can only be the right list if it ticks all these different boxes and has a prescribed number of certain films from certain backgrounds or whatever. i'd like to think there is a third way, as somebody famously said. where am i? oh, that's ok. i wasn't on camera four, i think i was on two or three. i can't remember. the lights aren't helping me on the cameras, they all the same. that's it for the papers this hour. martin and rachel will be back at 11.30 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 seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to martin and rachel. and we'll all be back for that

second review in about a0 minutes. well, we're going to return to our breaking news now — the death of kobe bryant in a helicopter crash. within the past few minutes, police at the scene of the crash in calabasas have been talking to the media. good afternoon, i am the fire chief of the los angeles fire department, and thank you for coming to today's briefing. today, shortly before 10am, at 9:47am, the los angeles cou nty 10am, at 9:47am, the los angeles county fire department received a 911 call about a potential helicopter down and a brush fire at an intersection in the city of calabasas, an intersection in the city of cala basas, unincorporated an intersection in the city of calabasas, unincorporated los angeles county. upon arrival, fire services found a quarter a call brush fire —— quarter acre brush

fire resulting from a crash on the hillside. the los angeles county fire department initial response was 15 pieces of apparatus 56 personnel, consisting of paramedics, rescue, truck company, and cruise, an aircraft and a chief officer to oversee. upon arrival, during the incident, upon arrival, the sheriff's department, entered unified command to handle this incident. ourfirefighters unified command to handle this incident. our firefighters on scene indicated that there was debris in steep terrain with a quarter acre brush fire. our firefighters' access with medical equipment and hose lines to extinguish the stubborn fire, as it included the brushfire, debris from the helicopter and the

fire also included magnesium, which is very hard for firefighters to distinguish, because magnesium reacts with oxygen in water. in addition to our firefighters responding to the incident, we had one helicopter flying to the incident with firefighter paramedics on board. those paramedics were hoisted down to the incident early in the incident. they did a search of the area for survivors. u nfortu nately, of the area for survivors. unfortunately, all the survivors on board were determined to have perished. firefighters and hand crews worked to extinguish the choir, while carefully preserving the incident for investigation. —— to extinguish the fire. the investigation is ongoing and i'd like to turn this over to my sheriff to continue. thank you, chief.

personnel responded to the scene of the crash and assisted the fire department, and we have established a containment area, and now our aerial bureau has a handle on tracking aircraft accidents. it has switched it to the national transportation safety board bureau and the federal aviation administration. the faa is already on scene and assisting. we await the arrival of the coroner's office to assist in the recovery of the remains. as the chief indicated, there were no survivors. there were nine people on board the aircraft. the pilot plus eight individuals. there is white exportation lee speculation —— wide speculation as to who the victims but it would be to who the victims but it would be

to identify any by the name until the coroner has made their study. it will be extremely disrespectful to understand that your loved one has perished and you learn about it from tv. it's wholly inappropriate, so we will not go there. we will wait for the coroner to do theirjob, and we are assisting the families of those who believe they are impacted, and it's a tough process. our hope goes out to all the members on board, or the family of those on board this aircraft, and god bless their souls. at this point, we have nothing to add until the coroner does their job, and we will be making those notifications when we have the information, and we know the next of kin have been identified, —— notified, then we can release information. the la county sheriff

speaking earlier. well, a little earlier, i spoke to the wheelchair basketball star and tv presenter ade adepitan about his reaction to the news of kobe brya nt's death. i mean, i am just devastated. i totally echo the words there and you know my thoughts go to kobe's family and the four other victims of the helicopter crash. i'm still in shock. i'm trying to reallyjust understand how this has happened. and i looked at my watch about 20 minutes ago and it flashed up and i could not believe it. i thought it was one of these hoaxes. but, yeah, kobe is a legend. he's an icon. he surpassed basketball. he's the guy who took over the mantle of michaeljordan at the point where the nba was probably worried where we have

lost a global star in michaeljordan who can take over his place and in comes kobe bryant straight out of high school. you know, i think he was the first nba player to do that, go into the nba, signed by the charlotte hornets and they passed him onto the los angeles lakers in then he goes on to win five titles. and just becomes this global icon, this person must know by his first name, kobe. tell us what impressed you, what you admired about him as a basketball player yourself, what did you admire about his style of play? his will to win. listen, kobe had everything. everything you need and there are lots of players out there who have everything, who can shoot, who are athletic, who are strong. but it is that 1% which is that mental edge that kobe had on all of his other opponents. you know, when the clock

is going down and the team needs someone to carry them, to make the winning basket, needs someone to make the winning play, they so often looked to kobe. yes, he had shaquille o'neal with him in the team for three of those years, but kobe was the man at the lakers. they retired his best. he is going to be up there for a long time with magicjohnson and kareem abdul—jabbar as one of the greatest players to ever grace the basketball court. i was just reading that the lakers famously retired both of kobe bryant's basketball jerseys number eight and 2a, the only player in the history of the team who had that honour extended to them. how extraordinary is it to have maintained a career at that level with a team like the lakers for 20 years? he only retired in

2016, i think it was. it is just extraordinary because, you know, you think that somebody like michaeljordan who is arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, even he had to take a break from basketball and come back a little bit later because of the pressures of the sport. but kobe was there for 20 years, you know, at the top of his game. playing some of the greatest basketball, the most exciting basketball ever. and, yeah, this is amongst some of the top players in the nba that the nba has ever seen and kobe was head and shoulders above them. he has inspired this next generation. lebronjames was interviewed yesterday and i think he spent four minutes talking about how much of an inspiration kobe bryant is. there would not be an nba, not a basketball player in the world who has not been

touched by kobe's legacy right now. ade adepitan, a paralympian basketball player, speaking to us earlier. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. much of the past week, we've had a fairly quiet spell of largely dry, settled but fairly cloudy weather. it has been all change though. on sunday, we saw this frontal system, as you can see on the satellite, bringing thunder, cloud and outbreaks of rain moving eastwards across the uk, and following from the west, behind that weather front, much colder air. you can see the speckled shower cloud on the satellite image. so we ended the day with a bit of brightness. this is coleraine in county londonderry. but cloudy conditions, meanwhile, in staffordshire during sunday afternoon. as we head through the rest of this evening and overnight, the cloud and rain will push away from eastern parts of the uk, followed by a rash of heavy showers moving in from the west. some of these showers could bring some hail and thunder across parts of england and wales.

for northern england, scotland and northern ireland, some sleet, ice and snow falling overnight, so it could be quite a difficult rush—hour on monday morning, and we are likely to see some ice and snow accumulating over mostly the higher ground, but even to some relatively lower levels. through the central belt, for instance, it could well be quite an icy start to monday morning. northern ireland and parts of northern england, particularly over higher ground, seeing some icy stretches too. further south, across england and wales, some showers rattling in, some of them heavy around the south coast and parts of wales. there could be some hail and thunder mixed in with some of these showers. further east across england and eastern scotland, it's looking mostly dry, but there will be plenty of showers blowing in across southern and western parts on that fairly brisk breeze, and it will feel colder than it has done recently, with temperatures around 5 to 9 degrees. not too bad in the sunshine towards the east but, as we head through monday evening, you will notice that breeze really starting to pick up — particularly blustery through the english channel and the bristol channel as well. as we look towards tuesday,

things are going to be staying fairly unsettled. we've got a westerly influence to our weather. this weather system is set to bring more in the way of rain, sleet and snow over some of the higher ground. parts of northern england and southern scotland prone to seeing some winteriness in those showers on tuesday. elsewhere, sunny spells, a scattering of showers, could be some hail and some thunder in some of them as well, and it's quite a chilly feeling day on tuesday. so really, through the week ahead, after that chilly start with some snow and ice, it looks drier midweek and then, once again, things turn mild and unsettled later in the week. bye for now.
