2:05 am
not have done enough. asa as a man's sobs and a hospital ward, he asked who has died. my father comes the reply. just outside, eight body bags are counted. and here, a patient films across the ward. these unverified images show a health system overwhelmed. visiting from the us, she says her sick relatives cannot even get into hospital. the hospital told them they could not perform the tasks. that suggests from your
2:06 am
experience is quite likely that the real picture of the infections could be much higher than the official figures suggest. i think so because people either choose not to go to the hospital or they do want to the hospital or they do want to be officially tested that they are not able to. this footage is to show a body being removed. while china tries to show the world it is coping, building this hospital injust ten days, and as become clear that more could have been done earlier. this doctor was one of the first to pick up signs of the first to pick up signs of the new strain of virus. his online posts were sent and police had him sign this confession amongst several others for assigning rumours. one month on this giant economy has been brought to a standstill. good public health ca re

standstill. good public health care depends upon transparency and the timely release of information, precisely the things hard to do and eight place so obsessed with control. it helped turn a local crisis into a national emergency. and an international one as well. this philippines hospital the first to report a death outside of china. mariko oi is in hong kong for us. as we can see from his peace, despite everything the chinese government has been doing over the past few days, the number of infected and indeed the death toll continues to rise. that is right and that is causing a lot of concerns here in hong kong and over the weekend we attended a meeting with the medical unions who
2:08 am
voted against as of today, u nless voted against as of today, unless the government closes all borders with mainland china and sundays they had authority negotiations that did not go well. nonessential staff and thousands of doctors and horses are walking out. they say if the government does not meet the government does not meet the man to make demands by the end of today, even essential staff are expected to go on strike on tuesday. best union it is important to emphasise was pro—democracy demonstrations last year and when we attended their meeting they were not shy that this move is very political and to put more pressure on the leader, but at the same time they say this is to stop the spread of the virus. memories of the sars outbreak are still fresh and medical staff also suffered from that infection and some of them died and that is why they want to protect
2:09 am
themselves as well. what has themselves as well. what has the impact been on day to day life in hong kong? if this strike goes ahead then possibly tomorrow onwards, there is a possible impact on medical infrastructure and there is a bank? because it is a question on if doctors abandon patients during this outbreak but that is how serious they are about pressuring the hong kong government about closing the borders and being close part of the borders and reduce the number of flights but they say thatis number of flights but they say that is not enough and we heard from various countries including the united states taking a lot more drastic measures of banning anybody other than american citizens who have been to china in the past 14 days from entering their country and that is what they want the hong kong government to do as well. thank you very much indeed for the update. let's get some of

2:16 am
it is the british film business' big night out. legendary actors and rising stars gather alongside hollywood royalty and british royalty for the baftas. as they make their way up into the royal albert hall, they do so under a cloud of controversy among the nominees for tonight's words and an issue bound to come up during the night's event. and so it did whenjoaquin phoenix took the stage to collect the best actor award for his performance injoker. i think we are sending a clear message to people that you are not welcome here, we have to really do the hard work to truly understand systemic racism. i think it is the obligation of the people that had created and perpetuate and benefit from a system of oppression
2:17 am
to be the ones to dismantle it so that is on us. the subject of diversity rose again when rebel wilso made thisjoke... i do not think i could do what they do, honestly, i do not have the balls. and the category, sam mendes for 1917, winning 7 baftas and all including prestigious best film. it was a wonderful night, thank you very much. the best actress went to renee zellweger for her portrayal of judy garland. laura dern won for best supporting. best supporting actor went to brad pitt who was absent but wrote a speech that margo robbie read out on his behalf.
2:18 am
hey, craig you just became single, welcome to the club. he said he will name this because he is excited about bringing it back to the states. prince william, bafta's president might have found it funny. but when it came his time to speak was in no time to speak was an attempt to joke. 2020 and not for the first time in the last two years we find ourselves talking again about the need to do more to bring more diversity in the sector, the awards process. that something cannot be right in the day and age. a serious point to end a night of celebration. we can now speak to sandro monetti who's editor in chief of hollywood international filmmaker magazine and on the board of directors for bafta in los angeles. thank you forjoining us. i found the awards this year
2:19 am
pretty predictable. we all kind of knew who and what was going to rain. speaking and my perspective as a magazine editor, we follow the story for so long and the winners tonight when all the previous awards, the main four acting awards. a bit of history, first time since 1977 that for americans took all four of the acting awards, they won the critics choice and golden globes and in los angeles next sunday, red hot favourites to win the oscars especially after this win. they're dominating and the nomination of 917 and the diversity question are very much the talking points. —— 1917. for my money, that the rest of the films this year, and perhaps one of the best of the last ten years, a technical
2:20 am
and emotional super achievement. well done for sam mendes, a personal story for him because it was based on the war stories of his own grandfather. a lot of the film—makers, when they had a personal connection to the story, the work, is excellent and nothing more excellent than 1917 this year and it won all the next segment of the nine nominations and the nearest, joker so a gap at the top. diversity, walking phoenix giving that speech when he accepted his award for best actor, talking about the lack of diversity. the baptist need to think about this for next year at the very least?” to think about this for next year at the very least? i think that was very acknowledged tonight and not going to be a ostrich bearing the head in the sand and prince harry is in his
2:21 am
tenth year as bafta president. after being a reader and so many diversity programmes but it is not being acknowledged in the nominations. so there is widescale revealed going on and it isa widescale revealed going on and it is a situation that clearly has to change because there is lots of incredibly talented work done and those main categories and they are more awarded in the technical levels. it is a problem that is clearly being addressed and has to with total urgency. where does it rain, people may say it isa does it rain, people may say it is a problem with bafta or the industry as a whole that opportunities are not there? that is basically what the review will focus on. interviews on the red carpet tonight, where a lot of people
2:22 am
have opinions, the performers themselves. so the key now is to listen to all of those opinions and make sure this changes. and i thoughtjoaquin phoenix's remarks there, which had a huge round of applause shows that his peers in the industry want to work together to change this. let's talk about william and kate as well. a bit ofa about william and kate as well. a bit of a joke their friar margo robbie when she excepted the best supporting actor role for brad pitt, where he would name the award harry, because he is taking it back to america. kate left the den she? i love that he did not go there and send margo robbie foret the joke on his behalf. nice to see that prince william can keep smiling over the challenging time for him i am sure. always

palindrome will cause some to cheer and send to mont so do i hope it is neighbourly for there is no show of me, that spring will be airily. it is a certainty. but how does phil figure this out? when you think, the closest one to you? according to the punxsutawney groundhog club enter the circle, if he sees a shadow there will be six more weeks of winter. but if he does not, it means spring is coming early. he has been celebrated since the 19th century but thanks to the 19th century but thanks to the 1993 movie, punxsutawney phil became an international celebrity. early spring ladies and gentlemen. you may be wondering about the accuracy of his predictions. pete turner thank you forjoining us. inner circle claims he is
