the headlines: as the number of cases continues to rise — the first death from coronavirus outside china is reported — in the philippines. meanwhile 11 more british nationals are on their way back from wuhan — the chinese city at the centre of the outbreak. the prime minister reveals his demands for a post—brexit trade deal. we'll be looking ahead to tonight's bafta awards. joker leads the way with 11 nominations but it's the first world war epic "1917" which is tipped to take the top prize of best film. england hope to kick off their six nations campaign with a win against france in paris this afternoon. before the papers — sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jane. good morning.
9:31 am
the six nations is well and truly under way. more on england's opener against france later today in just a moment but first yesterday saw a huge win for the reigning champions wales, while mistakes for scotland gave ireland the edge. andy swiss rounds up the action. please welcome scotland and ireland! two old rivals with two new captains. they would have two very different days. ireland hadn't lost to scotland in dublin for a decade. confident? well, they were confident after this, skipperjohnny sexton putting the hosts ahead. but scotland stayed in touch and after the break, it was their captain's chance. surely stuart hogg had scored? but just watch this. replays showed he dropped it on the line and as the ball agonisingly slipped from his grasp, had his team's chances. he sexton certainly didn't help, as he booted ireland's 19—12 ahead, but still scotland weren't done. in the closing minutes, within inches of the line, but ireland's defence clung
9:32 am
on to claim a hard—fought victory. everything was about the result. i am happy with how we stuck in and fought back. we just couldn't get that lead. we could have really opened up, but we couldn't get it 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 or for wales‘ new coach wayne pivac, and adams provided the perfect finale. a hat—trick and a huge win for wales, the champions off to a flying start. andy swiss, bbc news.
9:33 am
england and france meet later today in paris, in what will be england's first game since losing the world cup final three months ago. 23—year—old george furbank will make his england debut at fullback and eddie jones believes the northampton player is made for international rugby. he's one of the first players i noticed when i came back from the world cup, very composed, good core skills, got good positional sense. and when we got him into camp he showed all those sort of things under pressure. and he thoroughly deserves the opportunity. liverpool lead the premier league by 22 points. they won their 24th out of 25 games against southampton four nil. at the bottom of the table, there were some crucial games and some crucial comebacks. nick parrott rounds up the best of the action. liverpool are not even close to being perfect, according to their manager, juergen klopp, but that doesn't stop them scoring for that reply against southampton.
9:34 am
only arsenal's invincibles can boast a longer unbeaten run than liverpool's 42 matches. at the other end of the table, watford is staying in side the relegation zone after throwing away a two—goal lead against everton. even going down to ten men couldn't stop the toffees from getting a late winner, thanks to theo walcott. to get the win at the last minute is always a great feeling. the fans, those who travelled a long way, it is great for them go home happy. west ham also blew a two goal advantage, drawing at home to brighton meant dropping into the relegation zone. we let it slip, so that's a disappointing thing. but we go again. in the end, you know, you take a point from the game. we have to do more than that. but, look, it is one better than none. the big
9:35 am
beneficiaries were bournemouth, victory over aston villa dipping them out of the bottom three. bruno fernandez shone on his debut for manchester united in an ultimately disappointing scrappy goalless draw at home to wolves. sheffield united must be thinking it's still christmas with that result and this bizarre own goal against crystal palace heading the fifth on the table. on to tennis and novak djokovic's bid to win a 17th grand slam title is under way — he's facing dominic thiem in the final of the australian open. it's currently going with serve with djokovic leading five games to four in the opening set. there is also some british success to tell you about in melbourne because in the last few hours joe salisbury has won his first grand slam title alongside american rajeev ram in the men's doubles. he joins jamie murray as one of only two british winners of the men's doubles title at the australian open in the open era. it is unbelievable, i have dreamed of this moment many times and now it has finally happened. it feels a bit strange, a bit surreal.
9:36 am
i don't think it has really sunk in quite yet, it still feels like a dream but yeah, we are just so thrilled that we have done it. the nfl season comes to its usual glitzy end tonight with super bowl 5a. the san francisco 49ers take on the kansas city chiefs in miami. the chief's haven't been to a super bowl for 50 years, but they have the best quarterback in the league, patrick mahomes. could he be the difference? both these teams are dynamic in their own right, they have stars on every side of the field. their own right, they have stars on every side of the fieldlj their own right, they have stars on every side of the field. i am just excited to be a part of it and witness this greatness go down. the 49ers got a great running game, i love the way the coal plays but this san francisco 49ers, the defence line is so dominant. they are the best unit in the game with that position and they are going to try
9:37 am
and get after patrick. i tell you what, no matter how good he can throw it, if he is on his back, those throws are not going anywhere. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's ben with the papers. hello, and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are rosamund urwin, senior reporter at the sunday times — and business commentator, josie cox. welcome to you both, thank you for being with us. welcome to you both, thank you for being with us. lets take a look at the front pages. the sunday telegraph's cover — like many others — has a picture of borisjohnson striking a gong at 11 o'clock last night to signal the uk's departure from the eu. and it's the same
9:38 am
on the observer's front page — their headline reads "brexit day one: johnson goes for broke with hardline trade deal". the independent reports that businesses are demanding clarity from the prime minister in the next few weeks. and it's the same story on the front page of the sunday express — the pm tells the eu: "no more concessions". the sunday times says that british diplomats have been "told to spurn old eu allies". the mirror has the headline: "carbon footprince" — their top story is about prince charles — he flew 125 miles by helicopter to talk about lowering aircraft emissions. that is just a flavour. let's kick off. we have got to the telegraph with that picture of borisjohnson hammering a comment not a huge, gong. rather disappointing small gong. rather disappointing small gong. johnson is furious as he reneges on deal. quite a lot of
9:39 am
rhetoric ahead over the next couple of months of trade negotiations lies ahead. they will not surprise anyone who knows what borisjohnson is like in the slightest. this is his trademark personality. it is debatable as to whether this is going to be a successful tactic for achieving any kind of progress, now that we are out of the eu. he is very much by talking, —— fight talking, he is trying to portray the uk as talking, he is trying to portray the ukasa talking, he is trying to portray the uk as a victim which i don't know if it is something that will be received effectively in brussels and encourage our counterparts in brussels to be willing to go into negotiations any friendly manner. this is not something that should surprise anyone, this is the way the rhetoric has been panning out over the last two years. there's not a lot of time. i was supposed to be done by the end of the year. we do
9:40 am
not start until march that he has a full month of not doing anything, really. i think this is about... it isd really. i think this is about... it is tho, really. i think this is about... it is d two, the blame game has started already, remarkably quickly. i do think this is going to get ugly. the eu will protect the interests of the remaining 27. that is what isjob fiow remaining 27. that is what isjob now is. you could argue it has been scapegoated for the place we blame for our politics, it is now going to be blamed for the fact that boris johnson's ambitious new trade deal is not everything he has promised, because the easiest thing to do is unfortunately blame the foreigners, essentially. what boris johnson unfortunately blame the foreigners, essentially. what borisjohnson is trying to do is... we know the eu takes incredibly long time to do trade deals and he is trying to do it by the end of this year. i think increasingly, as we get closer to
9:41 am
that december 2020 deadline, we are going to be talking about, again, the threat of a different kind of no deal because we have had a transition period, but we will be back to that same thing and many of the same worries that came up last year. let's look at the observer, a similar theme really. it is the same picture. the prime minister hitting the gong. brexit day one, johnson goes for broke with a hard—line trade deal. this is the opening salvo is in the negotiations. he set out your stall, it is quite a tough, uncompromising position. that doesn't mean there won't be compromises down the road, in any trade deal, there has to be comprises, otherwise it is not a deal. that is what is going to make the process are complex. 11 months is incredibly short period of time, even to negotiate a simple trade deal. trying to negotiate all kinds of trade deals with a whole array of
9:42 am
parties, also trying to keep the voter base happy, all the people who voted to leave expect what the government has been promising them to be delivered. i think a lot of what we are seeing in this first few days will be about optics. that is why we had the gong, the salvation of friday which is not as big as some people anticipated. that is why we have seen diplomats being told to step away from her counterparts, to be shown that decision, so people who voted to leave will not turn around and say you are not fulfilling your promises. this is about politics. on the other side, you have got business saying we need to know what this is going to be so we can prepare. it would be amusing if it wasn't so awful, the government tells business they have three and a half years, they don't
9:43 am
know what they are preparing for. i talked to business offices and they say we have been told we had all this time, we have prepared for for the wrong things at times, and now we're back in the situation and don't know what it is to be. what might the deal be? another deal? we might the deal be? another deal? we might have a canada deal or it could bea might have a canada deal or it could be a looser arrangement like australia, they are pursuing both, what clarity is that giving to anyone on how this will affect their business, whether they are small or a fast one? let's go inside the sunday times. they are talking about brexit on page three. they are going on the front page. since the detriments —— this is the diplomats being ordered not to sit next to the
9:44 am
eu allies and counterparts. this is a leaked document, the foreign secretary dominic raab telling his officials to sit separately from their eu counterparts. this is the thing, people had been building up contact bases, allies and friends for years and suddenly we have got to say, hey, we are separate from you, we are a country apart. it is all about the way that looks, really. it feels quite juvenile, a bit like a playground, don't play with these kids in the programme because they are not our friends any more. the truth of the matter is we are going to have to sit next to them and negotiate for any chance of reaching an agreement. the other bettors we have another 11 months when we are effectively still in the eu but we are not party to any of the conversations. we have shutout all the groups, local our rules around farming, rules and
9:45 am
essentially everything. we have no ability to influence it because we are not in the room. we sit in the background like norrie does, we are not party to any private conversations they have together any more. “ conversations they have together any more. -- like norway does. let's talk about coronavirus now. the sunday times are highlighting a scramble to trace travellers from wuhan, the centre of the virus outbreak. there was 480 travellers, a lot of people came from wuhan in the early days before anybody was taking all these measures. where are they? exactly, this is a striking story. it does spell at the extent of the virus and how serious it is getting. we have had the first infection in britain over the past couple of days, worldwide we have got 12,000 infections, ithink couple of days, worldwide we have got 12,000 infections, i think the death rate is 259. i think it is 300
9:46 am
now, 304. i think it spells out the danger, i suppose, now, 304. i think it spells out the danger, isuppose, what now, 304. i think it spells out the danger, i suppose, what makes this tricky is the incubation period is so long. you can actually have the virus sitting in your body for up to 14 days not showing any symptoms at all. i think that is what is worrying medics and authorities at the moment. the general public as well. who knows? we could all have it. it is alarming but at the same time, we need to keep it in perspective. flu kills half a million people in the world each year. and to ensure for is the death toll from this. and we were told we are to another flu outbreak like the horrible spanish flu outbreak from the first world war. there was a theory we were going to have something, maybe not quite as horrific on that scale, but a major outbreak. it is tricky because you
9:47 am
don't want to say something that is killing people isn't a serious thing, but obviously it tends not to kill young, healthy people. it tends to kill people who may not be the healthiest. or already have some sort of respiratory illness. compromise, exactly. sort of respiratory illness. compromise, exactlylj sort of respiratory illness. compromise, exactly. ithink the interesting bit is oxford university have said we could face a serious outbreak unless we are better at spotting people with the infection than china has been. i think we should give china some credit. they managed half of those with symptoms sent to hospital within a day, i mean the other half are with family and friends. they are becoming quite isolated because all the airlines are not flying there. a massive country, a huge population and teach economy that's becoming more
9:48 am
isolated because of this. this is something that is going to have huge implications for the economy and businesses well. i think starbucks close to several outlets across the country and luxury brands which rely quite heavily on the asian consumer base to generate revenue are suffering as well. we are going to see the repercussions of this for a long time. and other tech companies are saying they are no longer sending anyone to china. exactly. that is what the headline in the observer is actually. travel ban plunges china into deepening isolation. saying the growing coronavirus epidemic is isolating china from other countries. scaled—down travel and business. it isa scaled—down travel and business. it is a worry for the chinese economy, growth has already been slowing.|j think we need to be careful not to
9:49 am
over hype this. we have spelt out the extent of the virus and yes, it is serious, people are dying but it is serious, people are dying but it is not a complete global epidemic thatis is not a complete global epidemic that is completely out of control at this point. i think in headlines over the past couple of days about chinese new year celebrations, because of the association with china, i don't think the right way forward is to stigmatise anything remotely forward is to stigmatise anything re m otely to forward is to stigmatise anything remotely to do with china. in the telegraph, we have rape victims. forced to wait more than two and half years on average to discover whether their attackers face charges. there is a lot of controversy about the way the authorities hand rape cases. yes, this is part of a broader story about our criminaljustice this is part of a broader story about our criminal justice system. we have seen a number of crime stats
9:50 am
re ce ntly we have seen a number of crime stats recently that show that people are essentially, you know, nobody gets prosecuted for robbery. it is one in 100. this is a broader picture but this is one of the crimes where you have victims who have suffered a very deep trauma and the fact that they are out there and in limbo, waiting to discover if their attackers will face charges, feels very cruel. the other thing that is pa rt of very cruel. the other thing that is part of the story about rape victims as there have been a lot of accusations at the police who spend accusations at the police who spend a lot of time collecting information from the victims they do not need, phones get taken and held onto to third party long. there is one case they mention —— phones get help for far too long. there is one case where police insisted on getting hold of the victim's school records of all things. i don't know why that
9:51 am
would be relevant. the upsetting statistic is these delays, the growth in these delays, are up 64% in the past decade. that is related to the following conviction rates we are seeing in courts. let's go to the mail on sunday. following up the prince andrew story, prince andrew described his alleged victim as a very sick girl. would you of that? it has been a very bad time for prince andrew. this is in reference to virginia roberts who prince andrew is accused of having had relations with and on the back of that, earlier this year with emory make less. it comes against revelations earlier this week that
9:52 am
prince andrew is yet to collaborate with the fbi into investigations with the fbi into investigations with jeffrey epstein with the fbi into investigations withjeffrey epstein which to my mind is inexcusable. he said in the interview he was absolutely hundred percent willing to work with a law enforcement in whatever capacity was appropriate, now other revelations are coming out he is nowhere to be found. it is a terrible look, a terrible thing. at the end of the day, he still hasn't expressed any empathy, any sympathy for anyone, who whatever has happened, feels victimised by the situation. or anyone who is victim ofjeffrey epstein. yes e-mails between him and a friend, he says at the end of the e—mail, should shrug and move on. you are talking about having sects with a you are talking about having sects witha girl you are talking about having sects with a girl who is 17, who is claiming, and she alleges she was
9:53 am
forced into that. that is not something they should shrug and move on from. another royal controversy is prince charles, flying hundred and 25 miles by helicopter to talk about lowering aircraft emissions. he has been at the centre of the sort of thing before, taking too many helicopter rides. not a great look, especially if you have just come back from hanging out with greta thunberg and talking about saving the planet. he drove an electric car to get to davos, great look there, but had taken three transplanted flights in the past couple of weeks. racking up 60,000 miles, it says in the paper. -- 16,000. he says he offsets his
9:54 am
carbon missions. maybe he does. there is a cost question, £91 is how much it would have cost to take a train and he spent £12,000 on a helicopter but i think even if you carbon offset, you have got to think. greta is an example of someone think. greta is an example of someone who think. greta is an example of someone who wants think. greta is an example of someone who wants to be the change. she said it have to do it, you can't just offset it, you have to demonstrate you have a different way. i am sure lots of people are flying into ba ftas way. i am sure lots of people are flying into baftas which is the last story on the front of the sunday times. more criticism about the lack of diversity, a familiar theme in all of these award ceremonies. yeah, the depressing bit is a lot of black actors are saying we have to go to the us to get the parts, idris elba
9:55 am
said that. he had to leave the uk and now he is very successful here. i think you starred in a channel five terrible soap over here, because the us, becomes a superstar andl because the us, becomes a superstar and i find it rather depressing, now they are talking about him being the next james bond. i find it very depressing that we have not managed to address this. we have been talking about this issue for years and it doesn't seem to be getting better. there is only one actor in the category in which not all the category is white. how can that be possible? i category is white. how can that be possible ? i find category is white. how can that be possible? ifind it category is white. how can that be possible? i find it to present a whole bunch of film—makers who seem to get overlooked or never quite get the big prize. ithink spike lee has never won an oscar, he has four screenplays are not directing and i
9:56 am
find that astonishing. we talk about in every single industry, so why are we not making progress in something asissue we not making progress in something as issue and could set such a good example? any tips for the baftas. i have not been a movie buff recently. sorry. joker is my favourite, dating back for best film. who knows though? don't listen to me. that's it for the papers this morning. 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. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer.
9:57 am
