that also is a heater. the unit they are based this is very we've got a stove... scott himself could have used this. i think he actually used this one. capable of dealing with patients with this sort of disease, we have so the idea is that you could get stuck in a tent like this certainly within the uk, we have for days and you'd be able dealt with cases of sars and middle to survive for days. we normally have a 20—day food box outside so, if it's a really big blow, you have everything you need to be eastern respiratory syndrome going back over 20 years so the uk is very self—sufficient for a long time. able to nurse these people, effectively and safely. now, we come to the delicate subject of the antarctic toilet. and you have choices here. you've got the pee stick donald trump is a step closer to being acquitted in the presidential impeachment here or the toilet tent. trial after the senate voted against calling witnesses. the president has been accused of abusing his power ok, so what you've got is a big hole and obstructing congress. 0ne senior democrat accused in the snow and then this republicans of being accomplices to a presidential cover—up. like throne which for some reason — two republicans voted with democrats no—one can explain why — to back calling witnesses — the president's opposition had is called a johnson box. wanted former national security one more lunch, do you think? advisorjohn bolton yeah. so this is a water treatment plant. the purest water in the world. fresh, glacial water. to give evidence. turn on the furnace. let's get it in. it's pretty basic, we start with a little bit of water to make more ina more in a moment on the main melting easier and it's fresh stories. antarctic snow, fresh to drink.

hello. it is pretty quiet out there at the moment, but there is rain in the forecast. it is heading our way, and, for some of us, sunday is going to be quite a soggy one, but not everywhere. there is some sunshine in the forecast. let's have a look at the big picture across the uk. as we head towards midnight, the rain reaches south—western part of the uk. notice that through the night for many of us across the north, and certainly scotland, it is a dry and clear night. there is a frost, there, in aberdeen and across the highlands. that wet weather, through the course of sunday morning, is going to spread northwards, so certainly reaching most of yorkshire by early in the morning, the south of scotland by mid—morning and certainly some rain on the way for glasgow and for edinburgh and also a bit of snow there possibly across the hills. however, to the south the weather it will improve. for example, for wales and much of the midlands, east anglia and the south, the afternoon on sunday isn't looking bad at all.

bright, quite breezy and 1a degrees. the showers across the northern half of the uk will continue into sunday night, and then we are in for a spell of some pretty stormy weather, particularly in the northern half of the uk. so here is monday's weather map. low pressure moving across scotland, this is going to be quite a nasty low, and that is going to bring very strong winds initially to western parts of scotland earlier on monday and then, through the course of the day, those winds one of two people being will strengthen and strengthen. treated for coronavirus nasty weather, story in the uk is identified as a chinese of the west of scotland student at the university of york. public health england is trying through the course of monday. to trace anyone who's been in close contact with the pair, pretty windy across the rest who are in isolation at a special unit in newcastle. of the uk, but actually it is going to be a relatively bright, if not sunny, day. let us focus on those day one outside the european union — winds across scotland, in excess of 70 miles per hour. on top of that we have got some snow now months of negotiations lie ahead across the mountains, to secure a trade deal. and then, later on monday, president trump looks set to be the severe gales will transfer acquitted in his impeachment trial — further east across scotland, so moray, aberdeenshire, after senators vote we could see winds in excess of 70 mph, even inland as well. very windy across the north against calling witnesses. of england as well — newcastle, an excess of 50 mph. it will be very windy right across the country

as we head through tuesday. and in the opening matches these isobars mean strong winds of the six nations, spreading right across the uk, an emphatic victory for wales — while the weather is going to be but scotland fare less mostly bright for many well against ireland. of us on tuesday. however, the strength of the wind will make it feel quite a bit colder. goodbye. good evening. one of two people confirmed with coronavirus in the uk is a student at the university of york. nhs officials are trying to trace those who had close contact with the pair, who are both chinese nationals. the patients — who are related — are being treated at a specialist unit in newcastle. elsewhere, 83 british nationals — evacuated from the chinese city of wuhan yesterday — are spending two weeks in quarantine at a hospital on the wirral. 0ur north of england correspondent judith moritz reports. life on campus at york university has carried on as normal today,

but amongst the 18,000 students here, some are worried that one of their peers has tested positive for coronavirus. can you tell me why you're wearing a mask? are you worried? a little. a little nervous because of this. when did you start wearing it here? today! i'm not totally bothered, because i feel like given the number of students at the university, i feel like it might not even spread. i don't think there are many students here compared to bigger universities. the student was taken ill along with one of their relatives while staying at this hotel in york on wednesday. the university says it doesn't believe they came into contact with anyone on campus whilst they had symptoms, but investigations into this are ongoing. we understand this development will cause concern and anxiety, but i want to reassure our students,

staff and the wider community that we're working closely with the lead agency, public health england, and other agencies to manage this situation. the university campus is operating as normal, but extra measures have been put in place, like more hand sanitisers in buildings here and a hotline which has been set up so that students can ring in if they have any questions or concerns. the two patients continue to be treated at this hospital in newcastle. today public health england said it was making good progress in tracing people who have been in contact with them and there have been no more confirmed cases of the virus, with 201 people tested negative. we're being looked after to the absolute maximum... meanwhile, at arrowe park hospital in wirral, 83 people have spent their first day of 14 in quarantine in apartments normally used to house nurses, who have been moved to local hotels. as far as we know, we're all both

tickety and boo, in that order. 12,000 cases of the virus have been confirmed in china and around 100 elsewhere. public health officials say the threat in the uk is moderate. judith moritz, bbc news, york. the prime minister is to address foreign diplomats and business leaders on monday — in a speech on his plans for international trade after brexit. in what will be his first speech since the uk left the eu, borisjohnson will confirm that he wants to negotiate a free trade deal with brussels — whilst also seeking similar deals with other countries around the world. 0ur political correpondent chris mason reports. a winter's day like any other, and yet symbolically, legally, psychologically, everything has changed. for the first full day in 47 years, the uk isn't part of the club of our nearest neighbours, a triumph for those who partied here last night...

we should celebrate the fact that, freed from the constraints of the european union, we once again will be able to find our place in the world! on monday, the prime minister will set out how he plans to do this. he wants a relatively loose arrangement with the eu, similar to the one canada has, and he wants to negotiate deals with countries such as the united states and japan at the same time. but look at this... the european flag still flying outside the scottish parliament. the scottish parliament. plenty are deeply upset at what's happened. those wanting scottish independence claim brexit proves why breaking away from the uk is necessary. we can look the people of scotland in the eye and say, look, we really did try to turn this around, but because the people of scotland aren't in charge of events, we're suffering the loss of our european status.

what comes next is going to be the challenge, but today is just a sad day. in bristol, those hoping to be labour's next leader also expressed their regret, but the shadow brexit secretary said brexit had taught him that... we need to bring about fundamental change in this country, a shift in power, in wealth and resources, so we need to look forward, the leave/remain divide is over. from paris today, a letter... "dear british friends", wrote the french president on facebook. "the channel has never managed to separate our destinies, "brexit will not do so either. but, he added, ease of access to the eu's markets would depend on how many of its rules the uk accepted. i think in a way, none of us are able to take on board the enormity of what has happened, and the words can't describe the uncertainty of the future for both ourselves and the european union, and indeed in the united kingdom. and for that reason, the scaffolding needed to create that new long—term relationship

will soon be as visible as the real thing here. chrisjoins me now. what more do you know about what the prime minister will say? this is the biggest change in british politics in nearly half a century, how we are governed, where we are governed from and who governs us. we are governed from and who governs us. but beyond those naked flagpoles in brussels, stripped of their union jacks that have been plonked into boxes and british members of the european parliament losing their jobs, we should emphasise that pretty much everything for now stays the same, because we are in this transition period. legally, we are out, but in practical terms, we are still in. there are now 11 months to sort out this long—term relationship with the eu, a tight timetable. 0n monday, the prime minister is going to give what i told will be a comprehensive speech. it sounds like the tone will be pretty punchy. he is going to say that now brexit is over, we expect to be treated as equals. he wants a deal where the

european courts have nojurisdiction in the uk. downing street is irritated at brussels repeatedly talking about a level playing field where the two sides agreed to a common set of rules. also on monday, the eu chief brexit negotiator michel barnier will set out a draft of their negotiating guidelines, but they will not be signed off by the eu member states until the end of this month, meaning the actual negotiations between the uk and that you are not likely to start until march. chris, thank you. a mother and her son have appeared in court charged in relation to the burglary of entrepreneur and heiress tamara ecclestone. jewellery believed to be valued at around £50 million was stolen from the daugher of bernie ecclestone at her london home in december. 47—year—old maria mester and 29—year—old emil—bogdan savastru will appear in court again later this month. emergency crews dealing with a major fire at a bakery in west yorkshire have told people living nearby to keep their doors and windows closed in case asbestos is escaping.

around 140 firefighters have been tackling the blaze in wakefield, which broke out early this afternoon. president trump is set to be acquitted next week at his impeachment trial after the senate, which has a republican majority, voted against calling witnesses. 0ne senior democrat accused republicans of being accomplices to a presidential cover—up. mr trump is accused of abuse of power and obstruction of congress. from washington, ben wright reports. are there any senators in the chamber wishing to change his or her vote? if not, the yeas are a9, the nays are 51. and with that vote, the beginning of the end of president trump's impeachment trial. just two republican senators broke ranks with their party, and joined democrats demanding more evidence. it was their last chance to try and trip up a president who left the white house for florida last night more confident than ever that the senate will acquit him

of obstructing congress and abusing his power. democrats had been desperate to hear testimony from this man, donald trump's former national security advisor, john bolton. according to the new york times, mr bolton writes in a forthcoming book that president trump instructed him to withhold military aid from ukraine, in exchange for dirt on democratic rivals. if the president is acquitted with no witnesses, no documents, the acquittal will have no value. but white house lawyers insist their transcript of phone calls between the president and ukraine's leader, vlodymyr zelensky, show the president did nothing wrong. let me read you what our ukrainian ally said. "it was normal. we spoke about many things. ithink, and you read it, that nobody pushed me." only the third presidential impeachment trial in us history will wrap up next week, with closing arguments starting on monday and a final vote on wednesday.

the republican—led senate is virtually certain to acquit president trump, who will try and frame this bitterly partisan saga as a washington witch hunt, as he revs up his re—election campaign. this is our moment in history. but democrats campaigning in iowa ahead of monday's caucus, the first poll in this election season, hope voters will pass a different verdict on president trump's fitness for office, come november. with all the sport now, here's lizzie greenwood hughes at the bbc sport centre. thanks, reeta. good evening. it's the opening weekend of rugby union's six nations championship. favourites england are playing france tomorrow, but the defending champions, wales, got the tournament off to a flying start, with a 42—0 thrashing of italy. it was less flamboyant in dublin, though, where ireland were a bit lucky to beat scotland 19—12. our correspondent

and scotland put it up to us. earlier, wales began their title defence amid passion and an awful lot of points, 42, to be precise, as italy were left chasing shadows. two early tries forjosh adams, the second courtesy of some outrageous skill. how often do you see this? through the legs from dan biggar and wales were out of sight by the break. there was no way back for italy, especially after nick tompkins went charging through for a dazzling debut try. not a bad start for him over wales' new coach wayne pivac, and adams provided the perfect finale. a hat—trick and a huge win for wales, the champions off toa huge win for wales, the champions off to a flying start. andy swiss, bbc news. football now, but if you want to wait for match of the day — which follows the news — then you need to avert your attention because the scores are coming now. liverpool have the biggest lead in the history of english top flight football. they're now 22 points
