but is still mild across the south, but really new is still mild across the south, but really now just is still mild across the south, but really nowjust increasingly so here. and as we go from monday to tuesday, the fronts clear the south. low pressure going into the north sea. and look at the isobars lined up sea. and look at the isobars lined up into the arctic. that is a push of cold aircoming up into the arctic. that is a push of cold air coming in, with by tuesday, sunny skies, with a brisk cold wind pushing wintry showers down across the uk. rain, sleet, snow, hail, but some of those a long way south have temperatures back down into single figures. so that is the change next week, a change in the change next week, a change in the feel of the weather. so the warmer colours have gone, we're back into the blues. the air coming down from the arctic for a time. but as we go deeper into the weak, high pressure comes in. that means things will settle down. but there is a second—half next week's weather, and here it comes. the flow of air coming back from the atlantic, so it is milder again. here are the milder colours, but that will come with more cloud and the chance for rain once again. so next week? weather is
11:31 pm
in two halves. at the start of the week it is briefly colder. it will be showery, some wintry showers, but then dry and sunny for a time as high pressure builds. but as it is squeezed southwards, temperatures go up, but it is cloudier with a chance of rain. i will let you decide which half of next week's weather you prefer. goodbye. hello, this is bbc news with julian worricker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines. the uk raises the risk level of coronavirus from low to moderate as the world health organisation declares the coronavirus outbreak a global health emergency. over the past few weeks, we have witnessed the emergence of a previously unknown pathogen which has escalated into an unprecedented outbreak and which has been met by an unprecedented response. a flight carrying 150 britons was scheduled to take off from wuhan, the chinese city
11:32 pm
at the centre of the outbreak, a short time ago. it's due to land at raf brize norton in oxfordshire before passengers are taken to a facility on the wirral, for a quarantine period of 1a days. the chancellor, sajid javid, throws his support behind hs2, as a number of tory mps consider rebelling against the government. the number of rape prosecutions in england and wales has fallen, again, as the number of suspects charged rises slightly. a man has been found guilty of trying to steal a copy of magna carta, smashing the protective glass around the 805—year—old document, using a hammer. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political writer and academic, maya goodfellow
11:33 pm
and the deputy political editor of the daily mail, john stevens. welcome back two both of you. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph's cover, like many, is devoted to 11 o'clock tomorrow night, when the uk leaves the eu. so is the daily mail's front page — they salute a new dawn for britain. the sun says the nation's course will change forever — for the better. the guardian calls our exit the biggest gamble in a generation. the financial times looks at the new focus on trade talks for the uk. on that theme, the times claims the uk will next week call for a ca nada—style trade deal with brussels. it's a "yes, we did it" on the express. and the mirror reports on the britons returning to the uk from wuhan in china.
11:34 pm
john, we are starting with your paper, the daily mail. by this time tomorrow we leave the eu. it is finally happening after three and a half years. it has been quite a journey to get here. obviously we had theresa may trying. we had boris johnson. it has been acrimonious. times we thought we were heading for ano times we thought we were heading for a no dear brexit, we thought we would have cues of lorries in dover and a massive disaster but we are living with a deal tomorrow and this is an upbeat front page saying it is a new don. it is upbeat. when you look at the spread, the papers doing exactly what you would imagine. a reminder is actually how many of these front pages are positive about
11:35 pm
leaving the eu. i think it is a reminderof how it leaving the eu. i think it is a reminder of how it is skewed in that way. i think, reminder of how it is skewed in that way. ithink, while reminder of how it is skewed in that way. i think, while there will be a lot of celebrations of the people who are happy about this, people who have been frustrated, feeling it has takena have been frustrated, feeling it has taken a long time. not everyone is going to be waking up tomorrow, watching borisjohnson give this... while we have the front pages claiming this is a new dawn for britain, and people across the country think this is a change but some not one that is welcome. let's stay with a positive one. the telegraph, a photograph of the prime minister and i presume it was taken during the television address he has already recorded. this is not an end
11:36 pm
but a beginning. it is the theme across the papers celebrating this. seeing it as a break and something new. it strikes a celebratory tone and although there is going to be a chef, because we are leaving the eu, there are still problems in the country we need to address. we have been so focused on brexit for so long, the right issues that really need attention. homelessness, schools, public services. what does this new beginning look like for the country is still to unfold. reference in this piece of conversations between the prime minister and conversations between the prime ministerand mike conversations between the prime minister and mike pompeo and references to what may emerge as a trade deal with the us. also a special cabinet meeting in
11:37 pm
sunderland. sunderland significant on referendum night. sunderland one of the first places to declare fully on referendum night. borisjohnson going with his cabinet, with a message of wanting to level up the country, spread prosperity through the country. sunderland is kind of a show of the challenge borisjohnson has got. there are also problems in the north—east. the —— nissan is based in sunderland and if there are problems in the car industry, boris johnson will have trouble clinging onto these seats. he said he has had the seats on loan. i grew up in
11:38 pm
newcastle and it is a challenge for the conservatives going forward. the levite was uniting and the remained was fractured. —— the leave vote. if you look at places like sunderland, there is a real need for investment and reliance on some of these relationships. what the government is going to do going forward we will have to see. a lot of chat about the hsz. the north—east seems to have been erased. some of these problems are systemic but some are decades in the making in terms of under investment. because of the countries ignored by westminster. whether that will be deep and meaningful change, lam not will be deep and meaningful change, i am not totally convinced. the front of the times, we're talking
11:39 pm
about the kind deal that the prime minister would like to strike with brussels. the canada style deal we have heard of before. how brexiteers concerned we might end up with a soft brexit keeping us tied to the eu, inside the single market and customs union. boris johnson eu, inside the single market and customs union. borisjohnson making it clear he wants a cleaner break and do things differently and at the suggestion here that on monday, when he has a big speech when he said somebody was with negotiations with the eu, cutting a deal similar to that of canada... it would involve border checks. canada, does not include services which is a big part of the economy. over 50 years, the economy could be 4.9% smaller than it would have been. if the economy
11:40 pm
still continues to grow,... brussels has to agree with this. this is a reminder of the heel to climb what is ahead. —— hill. eu leader saying if you want this kind of agreement, you need to sign up to think the government does not want to sign up to. not really covered in this story and often absent, this quite english centred discussion, there is the issue of scotland and northern ireland and that boulder and i think those concerns are not going to go away. scotland is obviously a diverse place but a lot of people not happy about feeling like they
11:41 pm
have been taking out of the eu. the issue of the northern ireland border as well. this border in the sea. i do not think that will disappear but it will ramble on. we started with two papers that are positive. the times in the middle of someone. the guardian probably on the other side of the argument because it is talking about the biggest gamble in a generation. the white cliffs of dover reappear though! not quite so glorious. this suggestion that once you have broken away from the eu, it will be that we are much less important, a much smaller player on the world stage and i think that is the world stage and i think that is the attitude you would expect from the guardian, to be honest. the photograph i am assuming this kind of created. it is a stark image.
11:42 pm
some people in the country are feeling is that there is a country that really want them to stay? if you are migrant, how you have been talked about for the past few years, for the past 20 years to be honest, but for the past years from both sides of the debate. a lot of work to be done to address that. on the front of the independent, we have the eu flag, farewell in up team languages. will be monday rejoined? this is a weird thing to be saying oi'i this is a weird thing to be saying on the same day that we are leaving the eu. there will be people in the country right now who are agitating already for a rejoined movement. i do not think it will have a major push in the country. a lot of people
11:43 pm
are quite frustrated with the brexit debate and they will be disappointed to hear it is not going away. but it isa to hear it is not going away. but it is a question to ask in the long—term. what will happen to our politics? we have had this strong movement to leave the eu for a long time. politicians like nigelvirage talking about this for years and years. i do not think a movement could not develop. it is the idea of one day recurring. it will be interesting to see how big this movement is. isn't a niche movement, someone like in nigel virage figure. calling for a second referendum. —— nigel farage. if that figure emerges
11:44 pm
they may not be a high—profile figure now. it could also be someone from a generation that did not vote in that referendum. there is a sway of young people who have become politicised in things like the climate movement. it could be the eu may or may not be something they will exercise in. perhaps not the right day to raise the question. the times from pages, this is with reference to the world health chief declaring the coronavirus now a global emergency. the who ramping up its warnings. the uk saying the risk level has gone from low to moderate. we are expecting that flight of britain's repatriated at some point
11:45 pm
tomorrow from china. the concern raised is not so much about china's response but more about if this sta rts response but more about if this starts to spread around the world, are there countries, smaller countries, with less—developed health systems that will not be able to cope if the virus appears in their population. they have praised china to a large extent? the director—general has made a point thank this was not a criticism of china but praising them with the work they have done. the lockdowns of cities, and travelling in and out of cities, and travelling in and out of china ltd to stop it spreading. es, so there is also a concern that we are going to have people who come back to the uk who will be quarantined —— yes. really making sure to monitor this risk level in terms of whether there is any kind of spread in the population of this
11:46 pm
virus. but i think one of the other things to know is i believe it was the sars virus where you saw a very different response from the government in china. so it seems like lessons have been learned or protocols have been changed in such a way that i think it's quite a positive move. and what the world health organization reminds us is we are all in this together. we have so much of our political debates can be very insular and focused at the nationstate level. but when you have these big global problems like viruses that can spread across borders very easily, like the climate crisis, which doesn't respect borders, we actually need cooperation internationally, and we can'tjust go cooperation internationally, and we can't just go into cooperation internationally, and we can'tjust go into our bunkers. it has to be recognising that it is about cooperating across these borders that we talk about so much. just to reiterate the statements, because we mentioned earlier on on air, these are the chief medical officer ‘s of england, scotland, wales and northern ireland. prudent for our government to escalate planning and education in case of a
11:47 pm
more widespread outbreak. for that reason we are advising an increase of the uk risk level from low to moderate. it doesn't mean we think the risk to individuals in the uk has changed at this stage but the government should plan for all eventualities. as the government has said it is likely there will be individual cases. and we are confident in the ability of the nhs, which is what you expect them to say. i think the preparations will have been done, and there has been enough for wanting, so within the nhs you would imagine that that preparation has been done, should there be an outbreak on any scale. it is always interesting to see how the papers approach it, and clearly how much they feel they have to inform, but how much they dramatise. and that is a difficult balance. and i think it is quite sensible to really relay this information in the way the risk level has been upgraded to kind of prevent any kind of serious risk to the population, where people don't know what is happening, but not in such a way that it means that people need to
11:48 pm
panic this stage. because that kind of spreading panic among people i think isn't going to be particularly helpful. and it seems like everything is being done to prepare for this. what of the daily mirror's ta ke for this. what of the daily mirror's take on this? these brits being flown back overnight, and they are landing in raf norton, and they will be kept in these accommodation blocks which are usually kept for nhs workers. i think there are a lot of medics on that flight in case someone gets ill on that flight, and the flight after it lands in the uk will go on to spain, there are 50 spanish people also on that flight. and we were talking about how you cover it, killer flu, and we were talking about how you cover it, killerflu, 150 brits in quarantine. people have died, and quarantine. people have died, and quarantine is involved. you don't wa nt to quarantine is involved. you don't want to suggest it is not serious at all, but a lot of people who have died from this have also had underlying health conditions or being older. that isn't to say that
11:49 pm
it isn't tragic and awful, but i think it needs to be put in that context whereby everything is being done to make sure the population is kept safe in the uk. we have a couple of minutes left, so let's go inside the times newspaper. and this is an interesting headline, which certainly draws you in. the nhs was hit out at quacks, charlatans, and gwyneth paltrow, alongside a photograph of her. so this story has been quite an eye—opener. photograph of her. so this story has been quite an eye-opener. there is a lot to take in there. a lot of products i didn't know existed, and a lot products i didn't know existed, and aloti products i didn't know existed, and a lot i don't know what they could possibly do to you. a lot of these products being promoted by gwyneth paltrow, how they might not improve your health, they might actually make it worse. and some of the exa m ples make it worse. and some of the examples he cites is how he says gwyneth paltrow‘s brand pedals psychic vampire repellent for $27,
11:50 pm
andi psychic vampire repellent for $27, and i literally have no clue what that does, and says chemical sunscreen is a bad idea for you. obviously we know that sunscreen is something that is good for you and protects your health. so here we have gwyneth paltrow using her fame to peddle these things, and actually taking people's hard earned money away from them and not necessarily boosting her health. says sir simon. i will read what goop is saying in a moment. it is kind of awful, i didn't know much about this. i managed to avoid it all. but one of the things they test on their tv show is something called vampire facials, which is where you inject platelet rich plasma from your blood into your face, which i find that the dot it is kind of horrifying, some of the stuff they talk about. she also talks about being stunned by bees as part of a treatment to get rid of scarring —— stung. also some kind of wearable stickers made from some kind of material that nasa
11:51 pm
used to line their spacesuits. and nasa said no such material is used in their spacesuits. i am now going to read what goop say. they say they ta ke to read what goop say. they say they take efficacy and product claims very seriously and argued articles on the site are transparent. when they cover topics which may not be supported by science or in the early stage of review, they are vetted by a robust legal team, and they applaud the important work the nhs does and often take their cues from the uk standard, which i think draws a line under that discussion rather neatly. thank you both very much indeed. 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 is 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, maya goodfellow and john stevens. goodbye.
11:52 pm
hello. the 25th season of super league has given an intention of the drama it intends to deliver with a enthralling opening match. wigan warriors beat warrington wolves 16—10, as patrick gearey reports. enough talking, time for the most eagerly anticipated super league season in some time. the competition turns 25 this year, and it began with the bumps, courtesy of warrington's bulldozing time, ben murdoch—masila. try. but wigan had players of the character of bevan french. now you see him, now you don't, or warrington certainly didn't. the warriors soon came back for more. sam powell was about to score their second try when chris hill intervened illegally. penalty try given. one look at the replay will tell you what is next. hill
11:53 pm
sent off, sam powell carried on. we can have an extra man but made little use of that until warrington got themselves in more trouble, mike cooper on the right guilty of a professional foul. yellow card, sin—bin. now his team had only i! men. defending became almost impossible. liam marshall over, we can clear, they never entirely co mforta ble. can clear, they never entirely comfortable. they chase this to the final second, but the warriors just about saw it out. this season promises to be eventful. novak djokovic was merciless in beating roger federer as he reached another australian open final, winning in straight sets against a man clearly struggling with injury. meanwhile, the women's final is something of a surprise. with more from melbourne, here isjohn watson. we have the women's final complete, we will come to that in a moment, but let's just reflect on another know that djokovic victory in the semifinals here to book his place in an eighth australian open final. it is the 25th grand slam final, as he
11:54 pm
brushed the mighty roger federer aside in straight sets. federer clearly struggling as he received a medical timeout at the end of the first set, which he lost, and then it was comfortable in the end for djokovic as he moves through in straight sets, djokovic hoke, hoping to successfully defend his title here. and we await who he will face in that final, the victor will come from the winner of alex zverev and dominic thiem in tomorrow's second men's semi—final. it was an upset, though, in the first of the women's semifinals, barty, the world number one in the women's game, beaten today in straight sets by kenin of the united states. kenin was in inspired form as she came through co mforta bly. inspired form as she came through comfortably. disappointment, as you can imagine, forash comfortably. disappointment, as you can imagine, for ash barty, who has been carrying the hopes of the nation here at this home australian open, hopeful that they would see a first female australian into the final here in a0 years. the barty party is over, though. kenin goes on
11:55 pm
to face muguruza, who was beaten a couple of years ago by caroline wozniacki. she fell just short this time, muguruza also coming through in straight sets. as a multiple grand slam champion, she will be hoping to add a third grand slam to her trophy cabinet if she can come past kenin on saturday's final. of course, we will wait to see who goes on to face novak djokovic, thiem and alex zverev, all eyes on it semi—final to come tomorrow. manchester united have made the biggest signing of the january transfer window so far. they have completed a deal for portugal midfielder bruno fernandes that could rise to more than £67 million. hejoins from sporting lisbon for an initial £a6 million on a 55—year deal, promising to give everything to bring trophies to old trafford. new wales coach wayne pivac has picked his first six nations team. they face italy in cardiff on saturday, and the new coach of the reigning champions has selected george north at outside
11:56 pm
centre, with wales struggling with injuries in midfield. uncapped scarlets wing johnny mcnicholl will take north's usual place on the wing. scotland coach gregor townsend will give edinburgh number eight nick haining his international debut against ireland on saturday. there are ten changes to the starting 15 that faced japan in theirfinal match of the rugby world cup. and england will be without anthony watson for the third game of the opening weekend. it is on sunday against france in paris. the wing has been ruled out with a calf injury. that's all the sport for now. hello there. thursday was a windy day across extremely windy across northern england, southern scotland, with damaging gusts of wind. the strongest of the winds easing down, but friday is another breezy or even windy day, and what you will notice, it is going to feel very mild for the time of year. now, we've got low pressure nearby for friday. this
11:57 pm
weather front spreading a band of rain south—east the country. you will notice quite a few isobars on that chart, and the direction of the wind of the wind is key to the field of the weather through friday. coming up from the azores on a south—westerly, you will see those orange and yellow colours pretty much right across the board. it will be rather cloudy, though, to start the day for many. that weather front, band of rain will be spreading south and east across england and wales through the day, becoming confined towards the south—east. behind it, skies will tend to brighten up, with some sunny spells around. but we will see blustery showers for the north and west of scotland, some of them heavy, and merging together to produce long spells of rain. so a blustery day across the board. these are mean wind speeds, could see gusts of a0 to 50 mph in exposure, but it is the feel of the weather that you will notice. temperatures around the mid—teens celsius for many. we could be looking at highs around 15 celsius across the east of the country. it stays blustery as well through friday night. further showers along the spells of rain across the north—west of the country. one or two showers further
11:58 pm
south, but actually largely fine and dry for south, but actually largely fine and dryfora south, but actually largely fine and dry for a good portion of england and wales to start saturday. and with that mild air source, the breeze, those temperatures not really falling much below six or seven degrees. double—figure values, in fact, seven degrees. double—figure values, infact, in seven degrees. double—figure values, in fact, in the south. so in the weekend, we've still got low pressure nearby. this front will be affecting northern areas on this front will be affecting southern britain with outbreaks of rain. generally drier in the middle of them. so spells of rain spreading across south wales in southern england through the day, and across the north this weather front will sink south, bring outbreaks of rain. scotland, northern ireland, perhaps into northern england. could start to see some cold air moving down from the north later in the day, september it is eight or nine degrees here, but again england and wales certainly another mild one, temperatures of ten to 13 degrees. not as warm as friday. for sunday, a band of rain will spread northwards, reaching southern scotland, northern england and northern ireland, perhaps some snow over the high ground as it will still be chilly across the north. some brightness on the north, but further south, sunshine. a few showers, and fairly

i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore, the headlines: the world health organisation declares a global health emergency as china's coronavirus spreads, at least 200 people have now died and there are cases in 18 other countries. the main reason for this declaration is not because of what is happening in china, but because of what is happening in other countries. the race is now on to develop a vaccine before the virus takes hold. we'll be at a laboratory in san diego, which is spearheading the research. i'm lewis vaughan jones in london. also in the programme: with less than 2a hours
