will be bringing us tomorrow. the home affairs editor and comments and features editor for city am join us. only we call it the evening at 11:30pm. the daily mirror covers the death of the basketball start kobe bryant. so too does the metro, along with britain stranded in wuhan, in china. 100,000 people may have the coronavirus. a warning over while weight technology. the times reports on high skilled migrant plants from borisjohnson. the on high skilled migrant plants from boris johnson. the express on high skilled migrant plants from borisjohnson. the express says one in five dementia homes are inadequate. in an exclusive in the sun from meghan markle's dad. and

winters coldest night. we're going to begin with the guardian and the coronavirus. experts fear100,000 people may have these new virus worldwide and it is becoming a bit clearer just how long you worldwide and it is becoming a bit clearerjust how long you can be infectious for. it is and that is what this warning is about. although only 2000 diagnosed cases because the incubation period appears to be quite long and the signs are not visible while it is incubating, then potentially a lot of people who have beenin potentially a lot of people who have been in and out of china, travelled around, spread the virus and could haveit around, spread the virus and could have it without essentially knowing at which is quite worrying given that they could be infecting and spreading it to other people who have no idea they are alongside somebody who has this virus. that is

quite a dramatic scenario conjured up quite a dramatic scenario conjured up by quite a dramatic scenario conjured up by professor niall ferguson at imperial college london. it is not as deadly as some viruses can be and therefore, if you do get it, it is probably not very pleasant but it is not absolutely catastrophic, insta ntly not absolutely catastrophic, instantly but i guess that remains to be seen depending on what your health is like at the time. it explains why despite all the extraordinary measures chinese authorities went to lockdown a number of cities, they have not managed to contain the spread. they acted too late because people were not showing symptoms so it took quite a long time for chinese authorities and authorities around the world to realise how infectious this virus is and to take precautions. if there are potentially two weeks summer walking around contagious without symptoms.

the effect across the world could be high. that is the issue we are seeing now at the moment. as you said, there is a trade—off with a viruses. the more deadly they are, the less contagious and this one is quite contagious. 2000 people have been diagnosed and only 56 known deaths. it is dangerous but it is not a deadly epidemic yet. but people want to get out of the city where the virus has started, wuhan in particular and that has been reflected on the metro. there is a problem that as well because if you are in that city, you probably do not want to be in it but on the other hand, if you leave that city, there is a risk of it spreading. in this case, talks about the britons in the affected area and it is not clear what we're going to do about

them. whether we help them get out 01’ them. whether we help them get out or not. priti patel here saying the government is still deciding what to do and other reports suggesting that logistical issues, are yet to be secured. of course, you cannot go m, secured. of course, you cannot go in, take people out, fly them home and let them walk around if there is and let them walk around if there is a risk. what would you do, quarantine them? presumably. if you don't, you are allowing the disease to spread by allowing people who are potentially infected to just wander around. that has to be taken into consideration so it is not a simple thing. at the moment it is probably better for people to be contained in an area and better for public health in general because, if the people are infected and moving around, that would make the situation worse and

gets it more out of control. precautions have to be taken before people are extricated from that city. the times, britain is open to world ‘s best talent, says the prime minister. a new visa unveiled. this is sort of a new visa unveiled. this is sort of a new visa unveiled. this isa is sort of a new visa unveiled. this is a new name for an existing visa and a broadening out of it. it is a people who have exceptional talent, specifically in maths and science skills. that is what the government is pushing at the moment. this is pa rt of is pushing at the moment. this is part of borisjohnson's bit is pushing at the moment. this is part of boris johnson's bit to show brexit and post brexit immigration policy is not about shutting britain off to the rest of the world, it is not about limiting the numbers of migrants. he has scrapped david cameron and theresa may's very misguided on net numbers and say they want to attract the best and brightest people and we will also have lots of investment in the

science in particular, maths, that will make us a world leaders. that is great but the thing we're going to do and pushing hard against business group is they want to restrict low skilled labour from the eu and elsewhere and a lot of business lobby groups have said this is going to be catastrophic for certain key industry and the government has said, well, if that is what you want, you should train up is what you want, you should train up british workers. if high skilled, we want here. if you are low skilled we want here. if you are low skilled we do not and still some debate on the salary they will implement. we do not and still some debate on the salary they will implementlj £30,000 the salary they will implement.” £30,000 per year the salary they will implement.” £30,000 peryear minimum the salary they will implement.” £30,000 per year minimum salary. an australian style point system as well. would some people who voted to leave feel cheated because, for some people, the issue of high—level migration was a problem? yes, and we are getting reports on tuesday by the migration advisory committee which recommends to the government what the different policy

prescriptions should be, in this case power points based system would work. borisjohnson case power points based system would work. boris johnson is case power points based system would work. borisjohnson is actually promising to lower net migration so, even without having targets as previous governments had, he is still promising to reduce it. his point is about having some control andi point is about having some control and i agree that, of course, when you're looking at the average net migration over the past 25 years, per year, 190,000 so a very large number of people coming in net and so number of people coming in net and so there is still that and desire for some people to bring that down. there is a slight trick in what was of the existing proposal which was to have the ability for lower skilled people to come in but not for 12 months because migration figures forjust for 12 months because migration figures for just under 12 for 12 months because migration figures forjust under 12 months would not count as a migrant...

almost like a seasonal... yes, a slight catch before you do not count asa migrant slight catch before you do not count as a migrant because those figures are dictated by people who have been here for a year and so on so we need to see what the system is. all the rhetoric, you are right, is all about very talented people and a lot of businesses would also say that, sometimes people with less high skills are quite important for doing jobs that keep the country running and so on. the reason that tension. notjust businesses. and so on. the reason that tension. not just businesses. one and so on. the reason that tension. notjust businesses. one in the express, the other on dementia care and care workers in social care and another one hsz and care workers in social care and another one h52 and how much it is going to cost. those are construction workers and care workers many of whom come from the eu and abroad and they are less well paid than this threshold would be it

would cost the government more. it is very want to say we do not want these workers are but that will be an increase public—sector cost stop it is notjust businesses but all of us it is notjust businesses but all of us who will pay for it. in the daily telegraph, exit will benefit farmers. there was an agriculture bill published which was about changing the system. —— brexit will benefit farmers. organisations talking about how a future agriculture policy can be used not to lower standards, as some people fear, but to raise standards and one of the areas is food standards and making sure that production standards and welfare standards are kept high. another one is about methods and so on. your environment a nalyst methods and so on. your environment analyst reported at the time on the

agriculture bill being published, that the bill proposed is all about encouraging better protection of soil, encouraging people to do when things and paying people to do those types of things and that is obviously what these organisations, we can use that type of tactic, to ensure we do better in terms of environmental protection. the eu minimum standard had to aspire to meet standards. but this is a potential problem with the us? the us is much lower food safety standards. one of the request is they we would need to allow their products and the government cannot do that if it is going to keep our health and safety food standards as high as they are and the idea that america will back down on that is a

little bit naive i think. the times again, head of hs2 to go ahead. little bit naive i think. the times again, head of h52 to go ahead. my gut feeling is that it will popularly political reasons. it cannot claim to run a platform on infrastructure and levelling up in investments in the north and then cancel the big flagship of northern infrastructure. though the cost are spiralling, politically it would be too damaging for the government. once you have spent all that money, is it wise to pull out? possibly although i suppose the argument would be you are spending a lot more on top of that and sometimes you have to cut your losses. i do not think they should in this case and not just for political think they should in this case and notjust for political reasons but for the intrinsic reasons that

better transport links are needed. anything that concerns me is the initial phase is to birmingham which is not in the north but in the midlands. you and i know that as non— southerners! midlands. you and i know that as non- southerners! exactly. actually, some of the other infrastructure projects in the north also need to be accelerated because clearly, as a guest from the northern power earlier on was pointing out... the environmental impacts and economic want. making sure the reasonable capacity because, at the moment, it is all locked up. as you know, the trains are not quite like they are here. that's it for the purpose tonight. don't forget you can see
