everyone is still talking about the super bowl and how the kansas city chiefs produced such an outrageous comeback to the biggest prize in the sport for the first time. and we have news of wind? yes, you can see the choppy seas and we have some severe gales affecting the north of the country this evening and overnight which could cause disruption and i have some information about the winter temperatures overnight so far. thank you. also coming up... an underwater seal of approval. scientists have caught a grey seal apparently "clapping" on camera for the first time in the wild.

hello, everyone, this is afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. the prime minister has promised "fundamental" changes to the way convicted terrorists are handled following yesterday's knife attack in south london. sudesh amman was shot dead by police after he stabbed two people in streatham. he'd only recently been freed from prison, after serving half of his sentence for terrorism offences. the attack in streatham began at four minutes to two yesterday afternoon, when amman grabbed a knife from a shop on the high street. two minutes later, he stabbed his first victim outside the white lion pub. seconds later, he stabbed another person outside cash converters. within two minutes, police shot amman dead on the high street. and four minutes after the victims were stabbed, medics arrived on the scene. this morning, police have been searching a hostel where he had been staying. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, reports. this may have been what police have called an isolated attack. it may be that no one was killed. but a huge police investigation is under way nonetheless,

starting where it happened, a busy street in south london. george saw the face of the knifeman. ijust keep having this image in my head, i can see how, the expression on his face... it was like he was trying to say something, and he was so young. seriously, i cannot understand why people would actually want to do that. it's just really, really stupid and ridiculous. such a waste of life. absolute waste of life. we know he was stopped by armed, covert surveillance officers. we know he was being followed and that suggests he was regarded as likely to attempt some sort of attack. this is the hostel where he was staying after being released from prison, having served his sentence. that's an automatic process and the fact this is the second time that a terrorism prisoner has gone on to carry out an attack

means there are now calls for something to change. angry, because both these attacks, the one in november and the one yesterday, were preventable and foreseeable. i've been concerned for some time and i've made my views clear in relation to changes in the law made by the government which mean thatjudges haven't got the tools they used to have to keep people in prison longer who are still a danger to the public. and so, this morning, the prime minister promised a tougher approach. i hope people understand that the anomaly we need to clear up is the process by which some people are still coming out under automatic early release without any kind of scrutiny or parole system. and the problem is that this sort of attack — a single attacker, a low—tech weapon, no warning — is putting pressure on what is already a system for deradicalising extremists which is not yet proven to work well.

the former prisons minister and now london mayoral candidate accepts that, despite his time in charge, things need to improve. as we get more terrorist offenders coming into the system, and this is a relatively new phenomenon, this number of terrorists in the prison system wasn't there ten years ago, we need much more training and expertise. and increasingly, the type of terrorists we are dealing with are different to the type of terrorists we were dealing with five years ago, so the expertise and training we need is different to what we needed five years ago. there are other questions to answer. should, could amman have been stopped from starting his attack by watching police? whatever the answer, the action they did take has almost certainly saved lives. tom symonds, bbc news, streatham. let's speak to ian acheson, who led an independent review of islamist extremism in prisons and probation. ifi if i might start with that common question that comes from what is someone question that comes from what is someone doing on the streets after a

prison sentence if the police feel he needs to have 2a hour surveillance? something has gone horribly wrong, hasn't it? good afternoon and i think you would have to conclude that something has gone wrong and sadly not for the first time. the prison service was bound to release this terrorist from custody so no blame is attached to it there but there must be accountability for how he spent his time in custody. when the prime minister is talking and the home secretary is talking about decisive action to deal with this issue, i welcome that but the decisive action must go further than simply talking about the quantity of years that offenders spent in custody. we must also be talking about the quality of the experience they have there, of the experience they have there, of the interventions, and the supervision they have that should extend rights with the prison gates and into the community. but what about any government's primary role which is protection of the public? regardless of how someone is treated in prison, if they lead and they're still a threat to the public then

surely someone must take that decision and say they are not fit for release? you're absolutely right apart from the law says it should have been released. and interesting to see what the licence conditions were. he was apparently released from high security prison, was being tailed by armed police so his level of risk and threat that had been established seems to be incredibly severe and we cannot continue to offenders being released as bad or perhaps worse than they were when they went into custody. we need a com pletely they went into custody. we need a completely different approach, a system reboot in risk management across the board from the first day terrorist offender enters custody to the last day in community supervision. i'm afraid the existing arrangements are unfit for purpose. do we need the return of indeterminate sentences so this issue arises far less? i think it is time to consider the fact there are

sumps of prisoners who, after interventions, and we need to work ha rd interventions, and we need to work hard on developing a much when you have interventions to challenge this appalling and abhorrent ideologies that they have, but if they fail to work, we have a hard—nosed decision made by experts. and i'm afraid i don't mean by the parole board, who don't mean by the parole board, who doa don't mean by the parole board, who do a good job in relation to ordinary offenders but i think they are philosophically and organisationally unable to cope with this sort of offender. if an expert tea m this sort of offender. if an expert team ofjudges that people are still so dangerous they cannot be released then they must not be released, in theory forever if their dangerousness does not increase. theory forever if their dangerousness does not increasem we are specifically talking about islamist extremism in a zen, who is the right person to even start to try to identify and deal with the problem —— in prison. try to identify and deal with the problem -- in prison. islamist extremists and other either

logically motivated offenders, their paths in and out of their offending behaviour will be complex and varied. 0ne behaviour will be complex and varied. one of the things i have talked about in a document to your request on radio four this evening is the dearth of effective theological intervention. as an islamic scholar said to me, it is daft to think that islamism cannot be defeated without is lamb so we need to develop better interventions where toxic ideologies can be properly challenged by credible people. but lots of offenders will have different problems which is why we need an individualised treatment programme to tackle their offending behaviour, to understand the motivations behind that terrorist funding and to get a much better picture of the risk they present —— terrorist behaviour. thatjob at the moment light across a number of different agencies across the lifetime of their sentence and

various handoffs at various stages andi various handoffs at various stages and i think that is wholly insufficient. we need to have an expert team case managing terrorist offenders from the start of their sentence to the end of a community sentence to the end of a community sentence who build up a very intensive picture or profile of the criminality, the and offending and ta ke criminality, the and offending and take the role of making decisions on whether offenders are suitable to be released when it comes to the discretionary release point in their sentences, and keeping them inside until such times as their dangerousness has been decreased. because members of the public who are looking at what has happened will be absolutely bewildered. we cannot normalise people going into custody, coming out again as bad if not worse than they were when they went in with their hateful ideology and motivation is completely intact and motivation is completely intact and trying to slaughter people on the suburban streets. it simply will not stand and it must be tackled. wa nt to not stand and it must be tackled. want to pick up on the word normalised because if there risk we

are already overreacting to this on the basis we are talking about islamist terrorism, mercifully in this case no one being killed but a stabbing, three, on a london street. is this not going to be a fact of life for people in london from now on different that we have many of these terrorists in prison at the moment you will be eventually released and if we don't give them what this guy clearly was after martyrdom, his name in lights and to some degree he has achieved a of that? i think they don't accept that we have to give up or accept a kind of normalised level of violence or threat. i have to say that i have heard that on many occasions and often from people who are working in the criminal justice often from people who are working in the criminaljustice system put it seems to be rather convenient as a rock to hide behind when we need to be confronting and assertively managing the risk. i think much more should be done and can be done. i'm certain of one thing. the prison

service itself, the prison and probation service, is sitting at the last chance saloon here in terms of its competence to manage these offenders. if it cannot guarantee the safety and intervene effectively to reduce the risk of these offenders pose, then it ought to be com pletely offenders pose, then it ought to be completely divested of the responsibility to manage it. ian acheson, good to talk to you, thank you forjoining us. borisjohnson has set out his vision for a trade deal with the european union, insisting britain will not have to follow the eu's rules in future. speaking in greenwich, the prime minister said he wanted a free trade agreement similar to the one the eu struck with canada, and warned he would be ready to walk away if he couldn't agree one. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the eu wants a close trading relationship with the uk, but would not accept britain having "unfair competitive adva ntages". here's our political correspondent, helen catt. the break—up is done, but what comes next? in brussels and in london, two visions of a future relationship. good morning, everybody.

in his first speech since the uk left the eu, borisjohnson set out what he wants. we want a thriving trade and economic relationship with the eu. but... there is no need for a free trade agreement to involve accepting eu rules on competition policy, subsidies, social protections and the environment or anything similar any more than the eu should be obliged to accept uk rules. meanwhile, in brussels... we are ready to offer a highly ambitious trade deal as the central pillar of this partnership, including zero tariffs and zero quotas. but... we must now agree specific

guarantees to ensure a level playing field over the long—term. it is a gap negotiators will have to work out how to bridge in the coming months. borisjohnson has ruled out a norway style close relationship with the eu as a solution. instead, he wants an agreement like canada's, which has almost no tariffs but does have checks. if he can't have that, he said it will have to be an arrangement like the australian one. it doesn't have a trade deal with the eu but is negotiating one and has side deals instead. those would involve some customs checks on goods, and businesses relying on importing and exporting parts or products will need time. they will also need to agree on fishing and service industries. the uk and eu did agree a broad outline, but it is open to interpretation and it will come down to the detail to make it work. both sides say a deal can be done, but getting there, particularly

in such a short time, may mean a challenging few months ahead. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is at westminster. so much for the brexit honeymoon, we are off! boris johnson said he would not use the b word because it's over but it's not over. this is the bit that for decide what our trading relationship and product relationship and product relationship is with the eu. businesses will be looking closely because they have to prepare. boris johnson has said that were not going beyond the end of this year, we will not extend the transition period where everything stays the same. if there is going to be a deal it has to be done this year. he is saying that the uk has not left of the eu in order to carry on following all of its rules. he made it clear in the general election that he thinks the general election that he thinks the uk should divert from the eu but the uk should divert from the eu but the question is what punishment, if you want to put it like that, will there be? how will that bring up the barriers when it comes to trade with

the eu? what is interesting is it is very clear from both sides that are of course things are going to change. there is no question of having the same kind of relationship that we had as members, they have made that clear, but borisjohnson made that clear, but borisjohnson made clear he was willing to accept that, saying he wants to go for something such as canada, a free trade agreement where they have reduced or got rid of most tariffs but what the eu is saying in response that you are not canada, you are on our doorstep and of course we are more of a competitor so they will put more obligations upon us. in that case, mrjohnson says, 0k, we go for an australian type deal but they don't have a free trade deal with the eu. it does mean there will be changes to the way that we trade but there will be more barriers but the question is, how high will they be? thank you very much. businesses are having to prepare for new trading arrangements with the eu. the biggest operator of ferries in the irish sea, stena line, says it expects there to be checks and inspections between

great britain and northern ireland because of brexit. earlier our economics editor, faisal islam, outlined the different options open the the uk government as it looks to secure new trade arrangements. the uk government is preparing the ground, if not the expectation of a more distant relationship than has been indicated before. this talk of australia style means accepting trade tariffs, taxes on trade. there is no deal between australia and the eu at the moment. and i think they have been sent mixed messages with business. they have been told by some cabinet ministers, in fact they could still be a close—ish relationship, that they should tell the government whether they want to be members of various european agencies or stay very close to them, what is important for their businesses and industries. so, businesses have to prepare, government wants businesses to unleash investment to get growth going. they have to prepare but they still don't know quite what the trading arrangement will be. a key area for this of course is the irish sea and the ferries.

the biggest operator of ferries there is stena line. they have been talking to the bbc about extra checks notjust between great britain and the republic of ireland but also and northern ireland within the uk and this is what ian hampton, a boss at stena line, told me. the final quarter of this year i would say it is vital to us. if we know by then we don't have a trade deal and we had to default to, let's say a maximum checks as a hypothesis, then temporary infrastructure can be brought into play. what are we talking about? well, you need to have the space to do the necessary checks. you need to be able to house necessary officials from governments to be able to carry out and perform their role to protect the border which is important, it an obligation, you could say, as being a port owner to the state. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines: released days after serving half his sentence and under surveillance as questions are asked about why a terrorist was free to stab victims in london, the government says it will act. borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get

a trade deal by the end of the year. built in just eight days — a 1,000 bed hospital opens in wuhan for coronavirus patitents, as one of the passengers who landed in the uk from wuhan is taken ill and escorted to hospital. patrick mahomes becomes a global superstar after properly the kansas city chiefs to a miraculous comeback to win the super bowl. scotland will be without finn russell again for their six nations game against england on saturday. the fly half was dropped for their defeat to ireland at the weekend for breaching team protocol after a drinking session. and a new era for england rugby league as shaun wane is confirmed as their new head coach. the former wigan warriors boss had been working as a high performance coach with scottish rugby union. i'll be back with more on those stories later. a new hospital specifically built to tackle coronavirus has opened today in the city of wuhan. according to chinese authorities, building began on 24th january,

and a live stream of construction crews working against the clock has been followed by millions across the world. the new hospital has 1,000 beds and its first patients arrived today. let's take a look at some the developments with the virus. the current death toll in china alone stands at 361 — more than the sars virus outbreak in 2003. here in the uk, the government have pledged £20 million to help fund research for a vaccine to tackle the infection and the world health 0rganization say that there are 151 cases in 23 countries outside china. 0ur health correspondent, dominic hughes, is in salford. it really is a race against time to find out as much about how this virus works as possible put it is and you mentioned the vaccine that scientists around the world are trying to develop. that was helped immensely by the fact that the chinese authorities released the genetic code they had found out very

quickly, and released that to the international committee which allowed scientists to collaborate around the world in trying to formulate a vaccine. but we were warned yesterday when we got the announcement of the £20 million from the uk government towards a global partnership trying to find it, that is months away from being widely available. all those short—term measures that people have been talking about to try to contain the virus, good personal hygiene, using and disposing of tissues, washing your hands properly, all those sorts of things, that is probably the most effective way of containing the spread of this disease as well as putting people into quarantine. quarantining people or putting people into quarantine. quara ntining people or telling putting people into quarantine. quarantining people or telling them to stay at home themselves if they suspect they have been exposed to the virus. one thing you did not mention was masks. is there any point in them? it's difficult to know. they believe that the way the virus is spread is by airborne droplets in the same weight you spread flu, someone sneezing or

coughing without using a tissue or a handkerchief or their arm over their mouth, they believe that is the way it is spread. i suppose a mask or any kind of barrier over your mouth would help. we are hearing that one of those brought back to the uk has been taken to hospital with suspicious symptoms, one can say no more than that at this stage. but there is very much a sense that we are yet anywhere near the pinnacle of this. yes, i think what we heard about this one patient is they were pa rt about this one patient is they were part of the 11 people who were brought out of china on a french flight. it brought out of china on a french flight. it was spot while flying from marseille to raf brize norton asi from marseille to raf brize norton as i understand it that this person started to feel unwell. they did exactly the right thing, reported that two health officials. they self isolated, took themselves away from the rest of the group on the flight i guess, and when they got to raf

brize norton, ten of that group of 11 came here to the north west of england and went into the accommodation with the first group of 83 people at the hospital and that one person was then taken to hospitalfor that one person was then taken to hospital for further tests. as that one person was then taken to hospitalforfurther tests. as i understand it, that person basically was suffering from cold like symptoms but they did exactly the right thing in the ring on the side of caution. thank you very much. the 2020 race for the white house starts in earnest tonight, as voters in the us state of iowa choose who they want to be the democrats' candidate in november's presidential election. known as the iowa caucuses, the vote begins a state—by—state selection process. polls suggest the veteran senator bernie sanders holds a narrow lead over the former vice—presidentjoe biden. gary 0'donogue reports from the state capital, des moines. this is the heart of the american midwest. the centre of the cornbelt, a place

where pigs outnumber people 7—1. but every four years, iowa becomes the centre of national politics and this self—proclaimed democratic socialist insists he can beat donald trump. let us go forward together, let us defeat donald trump. cheering. let us transform this country. thank you all very much. four years ago, bernie sanders was neck and neck with hillary clinton here in iowa. the enthusiasm he generated then has translated four years later. he is the candidate to beat. vying for the left of centre vote is another us senator, elizabeth warren. her pitch, a progressive who won't frighten off the moderates. but if iowans worry

about their politics, they also worry about their football. sunday's super bowl, another huge contest. it's all competition, you've got to win. nobody wants second place. it's no good, everybody wants to win. so, i'm just ready for the super bowl, take it one step at a time and then tomorrow i'll go to caucus and take my boys there too. so, what i'm asking for is for us to make history together on monday night. pete buttigieg has been the surprise of this campaign, a gay, small—town mayor, who is polling strongly. i've seen him speak six times now, and he'sjust a great candidate. i'm concerned that the rest of america will not vote for a gay candidate. really, though, the nomination race should bejoe biden's to lose. he is a former vice president and has the backing of the democratic establishment. but he's not running away with it. we can't turn four years of donald trump into an aberration, a historical aberration.

but eight years, he'll change the country in a way we can't tolerate. we need you, we need you, we need you. doing well here can make all the difference. momentum for those who succeed, stalling into failure for those who do not. there's a lot at stake. first and stav can tell us about a lack of frost. it was pretty remarkable, normally by this time of winter we have all seen a by this time of winter we have all seen a frost, even coastal areas i have a lovely picture of 0rkney which is one area which has not had an airfrost since which is one area which has not had an air frost since the start because me to an air frost since the start because metoa an air frost since the start because me to a logical winter start on the 1st of december put these three areas, there could be more, but these have had a frost free winter. you will notice they are all coastal areas but as i said, even some of

the coldest winters, like the beast from the east we had all these areas saw temperatures below freezing overnight so it is pretty remarkable. we had an argument about this earlier because i was saying it means that bugs are more prevalent because cold snaps kill them off but it isa because cold snaps kill them off but it is a greek? you could be right, there have been a lot of illnesses around so far —— you disagree. a lot of people have been ill, immune systems a re of people have been ill, immune systems are low when the weather is cold which is why people are not as ill in the summer when people get vitamin dand ill in the summer when people get vitamin d and it is warmer. it's a bit ofan vitamin d and it is warmer. it's a bit of an old wives tale! if anybody can bit of an old wives tale! if anybody ca n tweet bit of an old wives tale! if anybody can tweet me on that! i will put some of them to be in an hour! it's all to do with the jet stream which has been the general pattern for the winter so far, to the north of us and we have been on the warmer side of it. you can see the colder air

down in the north atlantic around greenland and iceland and towards where you expect, western russia put it has been exceptionally mild in western europe recently. this is the temperature overlay of europe this morning, not even in the afternoon, with more orange around. you would expect a lot of the uk and northern europe to be covered in blue this time of year in the morning but it isa time of year in the morning but it is a lot of yellow and orange it is the west of europe and iberia and france which have seen exceptionally mild conditions in the last few days. what about us in the next few days? it will get colder, ironically! it started wet and windy but we have a steep area of low pressure pushing into the north of the conflict which is where we have some gales and then this high pressure will meet in later which will cool things down we will see overnight frost. but may be some of those areas might not get on the coast. this is the picture through the afternoon, this weather front across the channel islands and the

south coast of england bringing some heavy rain. further north, plus showers and turning windier. those are the afternoon temperatures, from 7-12d. are the afternoon temperatures, from 7—12d. heading through this evening, the winds pick up even more in the north, plenty of heavy showers with snow on the hills in scotland put 50-60 snow on the hills in scotland put 50—60 mph gusts in northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england but over 70 in the north—west of scotland so potentially damaging and with heavy snow showers, blizzard conditions over the hills are likely to cause disruption so stay tuned to your bbc local radio and subsequent forecasts what you can go online for the latest warnings. through the rest of the night, extremely windy in the north, the strongest winds transferring to the north—east of scotla nd transferring to the north—east of scotland but blustery elsewhere with a lot of showers, some penetrating into western parts of england and wales put a cold night, may be frost free because of the winds and the

showers around. the low pressure begins to push into the northey on tuesday but you see still quite a few isobars that make up the sea. even in the midlands and north—east england will be a windy start, a lot of showers again and wintry over the high ground. in the afternoon they will ease along with the winds but it will stay blustery. temperatures, 8-11 but it it will stay blustery. temperatures, 8—11 but it will not feel like that because of the winter put up the high pressure comes in and that will settle things down with fewer isobars on the chart so it means lighter winds but with clearer skies, it will turn quite cold. you can expect a widespread frost on wednesday morning. mist and fog patches could also be a nuisance on wednesday mornings and thursday, pretty similar days, chile with variable cloud and sunshine pulled up variable cloud and sunshine pulled up by variable cloud and sunshine pulled up by the end of the week, the low project returns off the atlantic to bring milder conditions but wet and

windy as well. —— chilly with variable cloud. this is bbc news. our latest headlines: the government says it's time to take action to stop the automatic early release of prisoners convicted of terror offences, after yesterday's stabbings in south london by 20—year—old sudesh amman, who had been freed last month. borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. built in just eight days — a 1,000 bed hospital opens in wuhan

for coronavirus patitents, as one of the passengers who landed in the uk from wuhan is taken ill and escorted to hospital. the 2020 race for the white house starts in earnest tonight, as voters in the us state of iowa choose who they want to be the democrats' candidate in november's presidential election. sport now on afternoon live with lizzie — and we've seen a new super bowl star emerge, haven't we? yes, patrick mahomes is the name on everyone's lips. if you do an internet search, he basically brought about an outrageous comeback for the kanasas city chiefs so they could win their first superbowl for 50 years, beating the san francisco 49ers in miami. quarterback patrick mahomes had scored the chiefs' first touchdown earlier in the match, but by the final quarter they were 20—10 down and looking done for, until mahomes pulled it out

of the bag, with two superb touchdown throws. the chiefs went on to win it 31—20. mahomes took the most valuable player award. he also picked up that accolade for the whole nfl season it's amazing, it really is. you dream about this stuff when you're a little kid and ijust try to go out there and be the best person i can be every single day. i enjoy this every single day. i enjoy going to the facility. i enjoy watching film. i enjoy most of all the brotherhood a team builds and so for me, just to be here with these guys and winning the super bowl, it's amazing. and here's how it went down with fans watching back in missouri. many of them weren't even alive last time the chiefs won a super bowl, and they have a parade on wednesday to look forward to. the last time kansas city hosted a victory parade, after the baseball team, the royals won the world series five years ago, over 800,000 people turned out.

reckon that is a fair amount of people who live in kansas city. that is quite a party. let's talk about the six nations opening. there is some team news, is there? well, there's some interesting news from the scotland camp who lost to ireland on saturday, albeit playing fairly well in dublin. apart from the howlers from their captain — and that's that finn russell has been left out of the squad once again. russell had been their star fly—half but he was dropped from the camp leading up to their first game for "breaching team protocol" after a drinking session. we've all been waiting to find out if he would be back for the calcutta cup game on saturday but it's been announced he isn't going to be in the squad to face england. adam hastings and duncan weir have been listed in his position again. some bad news for ireland though, just one game

into the six nations championship and garry ringrose will miss their next games against wales and england. the centre suffered a suspected broken thumb in their win over scotland and he's had what ireland have called a "procedure" on the injury. he should be available to face italy in dublin on the 7th of march. one other bit of rugby union news, the former england captain chris robshaw is leaving harlequins at the end of the season after 16 years at the club. he hasn't announced what he'll be doing next but says he is looking forward to the next chapter. robshaw was capped by 66 times for england and although he lost the captaincy after the 2015 world cup, he kept his place in the international side until 2018. the two time premiership player of the year, who will be 3a injune, has made over 200 appearances for quins. former wigan head coach shaun wane is the new england coach. a two—year contract takes in this year's ashes series and the world cup next year, also on home soil. wane led wigan to three superleague grand final victories

but after leaving them in 2018, has been working as a high performance coach with the scottish rugby union. he replaces wayne bennett in the england role. half an hour after wane's appointment was confirmed, it was announced that kevin sinfield would be leaving his role in charge of the england high performance unit. he had been a strong supporter of bennett. that's all the sport for now. more now on our top story. the prime minister has promised "fundamental" changes to the way convicted terrorists are handled, following yesterday's knife attack in south london. sudesh amman was shot dead by police after he stabbed two people in streatham. charlotte rose is in streatham for us. what is the latest? still closed off. the police cordon remains in place on the streatham high road behind me here and throughout this

morning, forensic officers have been going over the scene, both the high street and inside some of the shops and collecting evidence for their investigation. we also know the metropolitan police have carried out raids on two addresses, one in bishops stortford, another at a bail hostel in streatham about a mile from where i am standing. that was the bail hostel in which the attacker, sudesh amman, had been staying since he he was released. further away the prime minister speaking to business leaders in greenwich earlier said, we do think it is time to take action, to make sure that people in jail do it is time to take action, to make sure that people injail do not qualify for automatic early release. he said he will shortly hear from the justice secretary about the proposals we will bring forward. nothing concrete there but certainly a suggestion the government may be looking to change the law. he added that he was concerned about the way we currently handle terrorist convicts and confirmed there are

currently around 200 people in jail who could be subject to early release. he acknowledged that there are problems with re—educating and rehabilitating those who have been convicted of terror offences and said instances of success are very few. we don't yet know what proposals the government might be seeking to bring forward, but we do know the justice secretary is seeking to bring forward, but we do know thejustice secretary is due to be giving a statement to parliament later and we should find out more then what the government is thinking about this. let's take a closer look at the attacker. sudesh amman, 20 years old, was released from prison after serving half his sentence. he was under active police surveillance at the time of the attack. he pleaded guilty in november 2018 to six charges of possessing documents containing terrorist information and seven of disseminating terrorist publications. let's speak now to nick aldworth, former counter terrorism national coordinator. good afternoon to you. when you

heard about this, was it, oh, no, not again or was that i am not surprised? a mixture of both because i wouldn't wish it to continue but it doesn't surprise me. as we know there has been a geographical defeat of the islamic state but there will not be an ideological defeat of that for a generation or more. not be an ideological defeat of that for a generation or morelj not be an ideological defeat of that for a generation or more. i am just wondering how you feel about, we are still using the name of yesterday's terrorist, i remember the new zealand prime minister said the terrorist should not be named and has not been since. given part of the reason for carrying out these attacks is to set out to be killed by police and go down with your name in lights, is one of the motivating factors, are we right to keep naming these people? it is a really valid point. i generally don't refer to individual names myself, i think it is the right thing to do. what

effect that actually has i am not sure but the reality is these people don't stand for anything that i believe in and therefore, knowing who they are or having any sort of empathy towards them is something i would struggle to do. one thing we should say is there is a lot of blame being thrown about, but when you look at it dispassionately, the buck doesn't stop anywhere, everybody was doing what they should be doing, particularly the police. this is an enormously complicated insta nt to a nalyse this is an enormously complicated instant to analyse and i know that you and your colleagues have come at this from various angles. the reality is that this individual had been subjected to some form of threat assessment some time before or after he left prison and somebody made the assessment that he needed to be watched and that for the protection of those officers involved in that surveillance and potentially the public around that individual, arms were needed to be carried. it was very telling, the

firearms be used yesterday were the sort i would expect very much for a defensive operation, so that would mean they were not expecting anything adverse to necessarily happen. you would see a much different response if that was the case and then what we saw play out as time passed was that this individual had gone into a shop and acquired a knife at that point and started the attack. you cannot predict that. i have certainly been saying for a long time now, certainly since back in 2014, we have moved into a world where our enemies would incite anybody to be a terrorist using any weapon they can find, be it a vehicle, a car, they have even called for rocks to be used against any target anywhere and we saw the anywhere being played out yesterday in a high street. that doesn't surprise me, it is another crowded place. that makes the whole resolution of this situation much more complicated. given that and

given there will not always be on police around the corner when this happens, if there is god forbid another time like this, what should we be doing to prepare for this? it is sounding as though given the number of terrorists still in prison, there is the risk of another one of the. we have the great benefit of living in open and a liberal democratic society but it comes with this benefits as well. however bring up the police are, terrorist attacks and violent crime attacks will still occur and the public needs to be ready. i am advocating support of a statutory change which we are calling martin's law, named after a young man murdered in the manchester arena bombing in 2017. martin's law will effectively require places and spaces that are operated in the public benefit, to have undertaken

all people within those spaces, to undertake basic training and that is available now if people want to go on their search engine and look for act awareness e—learning, you will find it. it was open up just before christmas for broad public use, so please have a look at that. on top of that what we are asking is that the law requires people to be aware of the vulnerabilities around their premises and where it is possible to mitigate those vulnerabilities. and that the last part of that equation is to have a plan, what do you do if you are caught up in something like this, how do you protect the people using your place or your space? taken together, i think that is a really important piece of legislation which is then put alongside the prevent duty, you put alongside the prevent duty, you put alongside all the county terrorism legislation and you come to the point where we are starting to join up point where we are starting to join up the dots properly in the

government's counterterror strategy. given that he wasn't released early from prison, he served a term expected, is there an argument for or in cases like this terrorist —related cases, for indeterminate sentences to be brought back?|j think sentences to be brought back?” think the priority of any government and those who serve the government ‘s public safety. as a short—term measure, if keeping somebody in prison stops them from being a danger to the public, that is an absolutely critical thing that we must consider and do. but you cannot have an indeterminate sentence in the form ofjust have an indeterminate sentence in the form of just throwing away the key. there has to be an attempt to rehabilitate people, that is the society we live in, a society i passionately believe is the right way to live. but the short—term effect is that we have to protect the public and if we cannot do that with a strong degree of certainty within our existing mechanisms, quite rightly those mechanisms do need to be reviewed. i only —— my

only caveat is it worries me when reviews are undertaken in such close proximity to an incident it sometimes implies there hasn't been enough thinking or research time to actually get the right answer. i hope that is not the case with the plant announcements and those that have occurred already since the 29th of november london bridge attack but there is a risk which is why i would ask the government to maybe press the pause button and look at the whole picture of the investigative requirements, the preventative requirements, the preventative requirements and the protective security requirements. good to talk to you. thank you for your time. red diesel. it's cheap fuel that costs about 85p a litre. it should only be used by farmers, not by everyday drivers. now motorists are being warned that they face heavy fines, or losing their cars, if they're caught with red diesel in theirfuel tanks. jonathan gibson reports. at this filling station forecourt in sheffield, anyone can buy red diesel as long as they don't use it on the road.

so, what are these guys doing with it? there's a lot in that boot. we don't know where they're going or what they're going to use it for. it might be legit, but i'd hazard a guess it isn't. and when i approached them, it wasn't. afternoon, gents. what's with the red diesel? what red diesel? the red diesel you're pouring in that car. i'm from the bbc, by the way. thank you, guys. hold on, hold on. leave the camera alone, we want to know what you're doing, mate. just a few questions, mate, that's all i want to ask. this isn't a victimless crime. the money being stolen from this fraud should be funnelled into the national health service, schools, police forces and so forth. but in birmingham, this guy is also filling up. hey, you're running that on red, mate? eh? are you running that on red? a little bit. yeah? it's still diesel, it's just got colouring in it. yeah? he buys it from this local supplier for 85p a litre. the pump says it's not for road use,

but on the company website the tone is very different. there is a line in there about "illegally using red diesel is a serious criminal offence", but are they really allowed to encourage it? so, i'm checking them out. it's all right for the car and that? i can't tell you anything like that. as soon as i say it's for my car, he should stop the sale, but he doesn't. and today i'm among regulars like the man i spoke to earlier. excuse me, sir. john gibson from the bbc. why are you filling your car with red diesel? why? yeah. i'm not taking any questions. the company supplying the diesel, gb fuels, is run by carlton beckford and his brother adrian. why are you selling red diesel illegally? illegally? sorry, it's illegal to put it into a car.

we've always said that and that is it. but after the bbc approached them, they have made changes. no matter what you do, before you start pumping that diesel, you ask them people what they need it for. i can't be fairer than that, can i? he's also changed its website because anyone found using red diesel on the road faces prosecution. jonathan gibson, bbc news. and you can see that investigation in full on tonight's inside out, on bbc one in the west midlands and yorkshire, at 7:30pm, and everywhere else on the bbc iplayer. in a moment, the latest business news. first a look at the headlines on afternoon live. the government says it's time to take action to stop the automatic early release of prisoners convicted of terror offences, after yesterday's stabbings in south london by 20—year—old sudesh amman, who had been freed last month. borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year.

built in just eight days — a 1000 bed hospital opens in wuhan for coronavirus patitents as one of the passengers who landed in the uk from wuhan is taken ill and escorted to hospital. here's your business headlines on afternoon live: chinese shares saw their biggest fall in four years because of the coronavirus. the fall was amplified by pent up demand — the markets have been shut for over a week because of the annual lunar new year holiday. consumer goods company shares were hit hard. but investors expected one group of companies to do well — healthcare ones — shares for that sector soared. credit card providers should consider cutting or letting people off fees for what's called persistent debt — people whose repayments don't keep up with interest and other charges, so their debt spirals. the city regulator, the financial conduct authority, has written to credit card providers, telling them to review their approach

to borrowers who are stuck in persistent debt. how's the manufacturing sector in the uk doing amid the political uncertainty? not bad, according to figures from the data gathering service ihs markit. its pmi measure was at a nine—month high injanuary of 50, up from 47.5 in december. the coronavirus is having an impact on trading — i see the chinese stock market was down sharply this morning — how have other stock markets held up? 0ther other markets are relatively stable because the chinese market was shut for well over a week because of the lunar new year holiday, so during that time there has been news about the corona virus, a lot of catching up the corona virus, a lot of catching up to do by investors there. we will see what is happening in new york now. just opened in the last hour. samira hussain is at the new york stock. before we talk about what interval stocks might be doing, there have

been travel restrictions brought in which are more stringent than the rest of the world. 0nly australia and singapore reporting restrictions as harsh as the us. a lot of criticism about the kinds of restrictions the united states has put on anyone going to china or even people, what happens when they return from china requiring a 14 day quarantine. china has been critical of that move because they feel that it is really just of that move because they feel that it is reallyjust stoking more fears. in terms of the impact of coronavirus. the world health 0rganization has said to notjump to any big conclusions. there is criticism but from the american standpoint, they feel quite strongly that this is right for their own country and for their citizens. we

we re country and for their citizens. we were talking earlier about the move is that we saw in the chinese market which were pretty major, the market closed down around 8%. what is the situation in the united states? are you seeing any stock specific moves in relation to the coronavirus news? the markets have been open for the last 20 minutes and actually, markets on the hole here are actually in the green, they are all trading higher. it is something you rightly pointed out, is that chinese markets have been close for well over a week for the chinese new year and asa over a week for the chinese new year and as a result, they have been trying to catch up to all of the news that is happening. if you look at us financial markets, we saw really big falls on friday, specifically the dow had fallen by 600 points, there were specific companies, airline stocks that saw big falls. this morning, although we

are seeing those massive falls in china, we didn't see them spill over into the united states because they already had their big falls and they arejust sort of already had their big falls and they are just sort of now in a position where they can deal with whatever new news comes in, but the worries they had really is not translating to anything this monday morning. thank you very much. a bit more progress on the ftse index, a little higher this afternoon that it was this morning. the other european markets slightly higher and we have also just heard that the us markets are in the green. 0ne share price i would like to mention is ryanair, which we can't show you here. shares are up about 4% because it reported good profit numbers, 88 million compared to the loss for the third quarter of

the year before. the world war one film, 1917, was the big winner at the baftas, taking seven prizes in total. sir sam mendes' movie won the best film and best director awards, as well as one for cinematography. but the event faced criticism over its lack of diversity. colin paterson watched the ceremony. his report contains flash photography. and the bafta goes to... 1917. the world war i epic 1917 dominated the ba ftas world war i epic 1917 dominated the baftas winning seven, including best director for sir baftas winning seven, including best directorfor sir sam baftas winning seven, including best director for sir sam mendes and baftas winning seven, including best directorfor sir sam mendes and the big one, best film. thank you for giving us a really wonderful night, thank you very, very much and thank you for all the people who have gone to see this movie in the cinemas. it is still on. and afterwards, the cast and crew were celebrating at the after show party. it is amazing. it is amazing for the film and for

everyone involved, it was such a team effort so the fact it got so many recognitions across the board, it is wonderful. this is the best british film, this one is mine, i get to keep it. i didn't steal it.” am just trying to check my trousers haven't fallen down. seven baftas we won, so it is amazing. much had been made of the that that 20 out of 20 acting nominees at the baftas were white and the bafta president for the last decade, prince william, showed his frustration from the stage. we find ourselves talking again about the need to do more to ensure diversity in the sector and in the awards process. that simply cannot be right in this day and age. it was a theme whichjoaquin phoenix had spoken about when accepting his best actor for had spoken about when accepting his best actorforjoker. had spoken about when accepting his best actor forjoker. i think that it is the obligation of the people

that have created an perpetuate and benefit from a system of oppression to be the ones that dismantle it, so thatis to be the ones that dismantle it, so that is on us. when it came to best actress, what has been dubbed the renaissance continued. renee zellweger winning her first bafta renaissance continued. renee zellweger winning herfirst bafta in 16 years forjudy. next up on sunday, the 0sca rs. 16 years forjudy. next up on sunday, the oscars. and a word of warning for 1917, the last five films to win at the baftas have all been beaten at the biggest awards of them all. last man standing. scientists have caught a grey seal apparently ‘clapping' on camera for the first time in the wild. although seals are famous for being taught to clap in zoos, experts say this footage shows their ability to do so of their own accord. it's thought the clapping may be a power move — to demonstrate their strength,

ward off competitors and attract potential mates. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. windy weather is coming up. a deep low spreading into the north of the country, could bring severe gales to parts of scotland. here it is on the pressure chart. it will push right into the north and west of scotland. this front bringing cloudy and wet weather to parts of southern england. the rain affecting the channel islands. temperatures reaching highs of ten or 11 degrees in the south—east, single figures elsewhere and windier as we end the day. decreasing amounts of showers as well with wintry net on the hills. -- as well with wintry net on the hills. —— increasing amounts. gus,

hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at 3... released days after serving half his sentence and under surveillance. as questions are asked about why a terrorist was free to stab victims in london, the government says it will act. the anomaly we need to clear up is the process by which some people are still coming out under automatic early release without any kind of scrutiny or parole system. borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. built in just eight days — a 1000 bed hospital opens in wuhan for coronavirus patients as one of the passengers who landed in the uk from wuhan is taken ill and escorted to hospital. coming up on afternoon live all the sport with lizzie...

the prime minister has promised "fundamental" changes to the way convicted terrorists are handled following yesterday's knife attack in south london. sudesh amman was shot dead by police after he stabbed two people in streatham. he'd only recently been freed from prison, after serving half of his sentence for terrorism offences. the attack in streatham began at four minutes to two yesterday afternoon, when amman grabbed a knife from a shop on the high street. two minutes later, he stabbed his first victim outside the white lion pub. seconds later, he stabbed another person outside cash converters. within two minutes, police shot amman dead on the high street. and four minutes after the victims were stabbed, medics arrived on the scene. this morning, police have been searching a hostel where he had been staying. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, reports. this may have been what police have called an isolated attack. it may be that no one was killed. but a huge police investigation is under way nonetheless, starting where it happened, a busy street in south london. george saw the face of the knifeman.

ijust keep having this image in my head, i can see how, the expression on his face... it was like he was trying to say something, and he was so young. seriously, i cannot understand why people would actually want to do that. it's just really, really stupid and ridiculous. such a waste of life. absolute waste of life. we know he was stopped by armed, covert surveillance officers. we know he was being followed and that suggests he was regarded as likely to attempt some sort of attack. this is the hostel where he was staying after being released from prison, having served his sentence. that's an automatic process and the fact this is the second time that a terrorism prisoner has gone on to carry out an attack means there are now calls for something to change.

angry, because both these attacks, the one in november and the one yesterday, were preventable and foreseeable. i've been concerned for some time and i've made my views clear in relation to changes in the law made by the government which mean thatjudges haven't got the tools they used to have to keep people in prison longer who are still a danger to the public. and so, this morning, the prime minister promised a tougher approach. i hope people understand that the anomaly we need to clear up is the process by which some people are still coming out under automatic early release without any kind of scrutiny or parole system. and the problem is that this sort of attack — a single attacker, a low—tech weapon, no warning — is putting pressure on what is already a system for deradicalising extremists which is not yet proven to work well. the former prisons minister and now london mayoral

candidate accepts that, despite his time in charge, things need to improve. as we get more terrorist offenders coming into the system, and this is a relatively new phenomenon, this number of terrorists in the prison system wasn't there ten years ago, we need much more training and expertise. and increasingly, the type of terrorists we are dealing with are different to the type of terrorists we were dealing with five years ago, so the expertise and training we need is different to what we needed five years ago. there are other questions to answer. should, could amman have been stopped from starting his attack by watching police? whatever the answer, the action they did take has almost certainly saved lives. tom symonds, bbc news, streatham. rashad ali is counter—terrorism practitioner and senior fellow at isd, a global organisation which powers grassroots networks against hate and extremism. thank you for coming in. can you clarify our terms, because he was not freed early, he was freed at the right time given the sentence he received but people are talking

about de—radicalisation. those are two different things? yes, and there isa two different things? yes, and there is a compilation of the discussion around sentencing and the security issues about how someone should be sentenced for and the ethics and morality around that and are com pletely morality around that and are completely set discourse about if it's possible and how we should engage or de—radicalise and individual. test paper within is stabbing people in the streets, sufficiently concerned to put four out something has gone wrong? i'm sure there will be a lot of debate and discussion as to whether the right processes were taken in terms of assessment and so forth with a big discussion about automatic release halfway through sentencing which is standard and the government intent on changing that. do feel the indeterminate sentence we saw before

be better? there are discussions about that but from our perspective, the work we do is looking at how you can do two things, engage in early prevention online and off—line and in de—radicalisation efforts because those things happen regardless of sentencing guidelines on how long someone sentencing guidelines on how long someone is in prison but we need to think about while they are in prison and they are going to be released, how we should engage in de—radicalising them. how we should engage in de-radicalising them. there was a big difference between one going into prison having been sentenced who is already radicalised and will not change their view, if you like, and someone who does not hold those views and is radicalised in prison. in the third option which you are talking about is somebody who goes in with these views who can perhaps, through discussion, through lots of talk, maybe change their minds?” think there is a complicated process of change that takes place when you are looking at de—radicalisation. how do you get somebody who has a certain belief system and ideology,

has a closed world view, like a cult, how to get them to open up and crack that world view, see if they can change how they think and feel and behave, measured that change while in prison and determine if com plete while in prison and determine if complete disengagement and de—radicalisation predict that is one conversation that is very difficult. the other side is what you mentioned in terms of our they radicalised further in prison and there is truth to say that there are challenges with all sorts of criminality in prison that people tend to get hardened, they can become more radicalised in prisons because we are seeing individuals within the system and there are various processes that the ministry ofjustice has various processes that the ministry of justice has put various processes that the ministry ofjustice has put in place to try to separate extremist prisoners from the general prison population. to have a particular de—radicalisation process put in place. and also think about co—operation between security

services, people on the outside in the probation service but it would talk about what is happening in when the top islamist, fundamentalism, that sort of thing, can it be persuaded out of it by someone who understand islam ? be persuaded out of it by someone who understand islam? i think it is asa who understand islam? i think it is as a religion but the specific islamist ideology is a politics. the second thing is how you understand human change and that is something that terminologies have wrap their head around for a long time. you have to be able to understand both

issues, how you recognise an individual going to identity changes, how do you know if cognitive process is changing. can it be done? people can get things wrong. it has been done so the issue is not can it be done, but it will not be done in every case, 100% of the time but we have had individuals that have been very hard line terrorists being involved in major plots that have actually notjust turned around but are very strong advocates for individuals to go through this process and also a strong message for people to say that we have been there and seen this point it's not the way forward, not the way to deal with your grievances and it's an ideology manipulative individuals. why is it something that we are seeing more in this country than most others. 0ne thinks of somewhere like denmark that has a different approach to

de—radicalisation. that has a different approach to de-radicalisation. i think actually denmark doesn't have a different approach, it is a similar approach, i think itjust does better with its propaganda. it does better to sell itself. i think denmark have had maybe 14 or 16 cases of individuals who were isis recruits who have come back and been de—radicalise to. we are looking at a big scale in the uk, individuals that have been hardened, that have sworn allegiance to isis and undertaken terrorist a cts to isis and undertaken terrorist acts and i comment at the end of some of their sentencing. there are very specific challenges. we know from studies that they have been given particular guidance not to engage with people in the prison system because they are all on the other side. they have been told things like, actually everybody in the present system is working against you. they have been told not to cooperate with people. there is an added layer of complexity is how you break down and formulate

relationships. and like a cult, get into that world and tear it apart from the inside. there are a number of challenges that are there for individuals working on this that are unique. rashad ali, thank you for coming in. borisjohnson has set out his vision for a trade deal with the european union, insisting britain will not have to follow the eu's rules in future. speaking in greenwich, the prime minister said he wanted a free trade agreement similar to the one the eu struck with canada, and warned he would be ready to walk away if he couldn't agree one. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the eu wants a close trading relationship with the uk, but would not accept britain having "unfair competitive adva ntages". here's our political correspondent, helen catt. the break—up's done, but what comes next? in brussels and in london, two visions of a future relationship. good morning, everybody. in his first speech since the uk left the eu, borisjohnson set out what he wants. we want a thriving trade and economic relationship with the eu.

but... there is no need for a free trade agreement to involve accepting eu rules on competition policy, subsidies, social protections, the environment or anything similar, any more than the eu should be obliged to accept uk rules. meanwhile, in brussels... we are ready to offer a highly ambitious trade deal as the central pillar of this partnership, including zero tariffs and zero quotas. but... we must now agree on specific and effective guarantees to ensure a level playing field over the long—term. it is a gap negotiators will have to work out how to bridge in the coming months. borisjohnson has ruled out a norway—style close relationship with the eu as a solution.

instead, he wants an agreement like canada's, which has almost no tariffs but does have checks. if he can't have that, he says it will have to be an arrangement like the australia's. it doesn't have a trade deal with the eu, although it's negotiating one, but has side deals instead. those would involve some form of customs checks on goods, and businesses that rely on importing and exporting parts or products will need time to prepare for any new regime. they will also need to reach agreements on issues like fishing and service industries. the uk and eu did agree a broad outline the future relationship before the uk left in the political declaration but it is open to interpretation and, as ever, it will come down to the detail to make it work. both sides say a deal can be done, but getting there, particularly in such a short time, may mean a challenging few months ahead. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is at westminster.

we have seen today is both psyched out what they ideally would like to get from these negotiations —— both sides setting out. borisjohnson wa nt sides setting out. borisjohnson want it all tied up this year, a lot of people doubt that can be done but he is saying there is no reason why we can't put are also making it clear that the uk will no longer follow eu rules. can speak to the business minister now. things have changed a lot, we started with conservative ministers saying we would have the same benefits as in the single market, then theresa may saying there would be think specialist and now boris johnson admitting there will be barriers to trade —— frictionless trade. admitting there will be barriers to trade -- frictionless trade. what he is saying is we will negotiate in good faith. we want a canada style free trade agreement which allows us as the political declaration, which i describe as a heads of terms effectively between the two sides,

we want no quotas and no barriers to trade in terms of tariffs. and what boris is a saying is on a level playing field, the uk is already adhering to very high standards, whether on maternity leave, flexible p5y~ whether on maternity leave, flexible pay. this is a high wage, high skilled vision for this economy, an economy that is competent and will trade with europe in a confident way and with the rest of the world. he setting out a vision for a country that will be the cheerleader for global trade and i think actually, if you look at this, it's a great offer for our if you look at this, it's a great offerfor our eu if you look at this, it's a great offer for our eu friends and partners put i see this in every sector of the economy. not only are we attracting more investment but also some of the best scientists and researchers coming to the uk to do that work to build the economy fit for purpose for us and europe. what the eu is saying is we can't trust you on this, they might not be able

to trust a future government on this, it needs to be written down and boris johnson is this, it needs to be written down and borisjohnson is saying you just have to accept we will not undercut you but they won't do that. first of all, let's take maternity leave. in europe it is 14 weeks and in the uk it could up to a year and it might not be in future, that is their argument. the whole point is we have argument. the whole point is we have a democratic system, we can make the decisions as we have been on the environment. the first country in the world to legislate for net zero by 2050. this country is not an economy looking to undercut all the things we have worked so hard to deliver in our mountain pesto and a previous government on the environment dash in our manifesto. this is an economy waged an. whether it is automotive or life site is to

beiit it is automotive or life site is to be i it is. it all time. if you can't get canada, what if they say no to that? borisjohnson has talked about australia but they don't have a free trade agreement so you're saying that we are willing to walk away without any kind of trade deal. that is going to mean more bureaucracy and barriers for trade and business so and barriers for trade and business so how should they prepare? we are saying that we want a deal. i know some of your colleagues want this to be framed as we are going towards australia style deal... estate said he was willing to accept an australia deal. we are going to work towards a deal. we have set out a pitch for a really good deal by saying, look at what we have done, judge us by our actions, not by our words. i think the europeans,

judge us by our actions, not by our words. ithink the europeans, when they look at this, you will want to doa they look at this, you will want to do a deal as well. should businesses prepare for more barriers? we will make sure we prepare businesses from all sectors, as i do every day in speaking to them, for all eventual outcomes but what the prime minister has done is set out very clearly the direction of travel. i spend most of my life being a businessman than it being an mp and what businesses fear the most is uncertainty and when you give them the certainty, this is our pathway, as the prime minister said, we want a canada style deal but we're not asking the europeans to sign up to anything they have not agreed to in one of their free trade agreements with the rest of the world. we are just being fair and reasonable i think businesses will be able to understand that and back the prime minister because this is a great country to invest in. thank you very much. as borisjohnson said, brexit is done, but it has

happened but the future, there are uncertainties ahead. vicki, thank you. a lot of you are ringing the bbc because part of soho had been closed down and we can find out what is going on because our correspondent simonjones is on the line. i'm in shastri avenue. if you put no london, it is near the theatre that shows the harry potter play -- theatre that shows the harry potter play —— shaftesbury avenue. i happen to be here and the police started shouting to move out of the area, soho is closed. 0bviously with what happened yesterday with the terror attack in streatham there was a lot of concern but it turns out the reasons police have been moving people is there is an unexploded world war ii bomb, they think it is in dean street which is in the heart of soho. they have cordoned off a large area here. i can see a lot of police vehicles and flashing lights,

there are a number of vehicles from there are a number of vehicles from the fire service which are based just down the road, very nearby. we have a lot of firefighters in all their gear coordinating what they are going to do and a lot of police officers on the police cordoned so people are quite worried given recent events and have been asking me what is going on. when they hear the word bomb, to sound scary but in context, the word bomb, to sound scary but in co ntext, a n the word bomb, to sound scary but in context, an unexploded world war ii bomb, they sort of shrug and you don't expect that in central london. a lot of activity as police try to deal with the incident but a large pa rt deal with the incident but a large part of soho has been cordoned off and we have heard on social media that a number of people have been moved from buildings particularly near dean street and work premises have been evacuated. simon, from soho. we will keep you updated on developments on that. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines: released days after serving half his sentence and under surveillance. as questions are asked about why

a terrorist was free to stab victims in london, the government says it will act. borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. built in just eight days, a 1000 bed hospital opens in wuhan for coronavirus patitents as one of the passengers who landed in the uk from wuhan is taken ill and escorted to hospital. patrick mahomes becomes a global superstar after propelling the kansas city chiefs to a miraculous comeback to win their first super bowl for 50 years. scotland will be without finn russell again for their six nations game against england on saturday. the fly—half was dropped for their defeat to ireland at the weekend for breaching team protocol after a drinking session. and there's a new era for england rugby league as shaun wane is confirmed as their new head coach. the former wigan boss had been working as a high performance coach with scottish rugby union. i'll be back with more on those stories later.

a new hospital specifically built to tackle corona virus has opened today in the city of wuhan. according to chinese authorities, building began on 24th january, and a live stream of construction crews working against the clock has been followed by millions across the world. the new hospital has 1,000 beds and its first patients arrived today. let's take a look at some the developments with the virus. the current death toll in china alone stands at 361 — more than the sars virus outbreak in 2003. here in the uk, the government have pledged £20 million to help fund research for a vaccine to tackle the infection. and the world health organisation says that around the world there are 151 cases in 23 countries. a vaccine against the virus is still months away from being widely available, that's according to our health correspondent, dominic hughes. i spoke to him earlier. you mentioned the vaccine that scientists around the world are trying to develop, that was helped immensely by the fact that the chinese

authorities released the genetic code they had found out very quickly, and released that to the international community, which allowed scientists to collaborate around the world in trying to formulate a vaccine. but we were warned yesterday when we got the announcement of the £20 million from the uk government towards a global partnership trying to find a vaccine, that is months away from being widely available. all those short—term measures that people have been talking about to try to contain the virus — good personal hygiene, using and then disposing of tissues, washing your hands properly, all those sorts of things — that is probably the most effective way of containing the spread of this disease as well as putting people into quarantine, quarantining people or telling them to stay at home themselves if they suspect they have been exposed to the virus. one thing you did not mention was masks. is there any point in them? well, it's difficult to know. they believe that the way this virus is spread is by airborne droplets.

in the same way you spread flu, someone sneezing or coughing without using a tissue or a handkerchief or their arm over their mouth, they believe that is the way it is spread. yeah, i suppose a mask or any kind of barrier over your mouth would help. time for a look at the weather. here's stav. it has been so mild and has no foster. i told you! it has been so mild and has no foster. itold you! -- no frost. this is today's temperature and it is milder in the south than further north but this shows three locations, there are probably more than that, that have not had a frost at all since winter began on the 1st

of december which is pretty remarkable because this time the beast from the east. those massive cold snaps. before we had that there was frosty nights even on those coastal areas. it is remarkable, i think. do you? do you not? there are a few other places! we have had some severe frost in london it looks like we will have more to the end of the week but the reason for this is the jet stream, there we go, meandering deeply. we have been generally on the south side and the warmer side of it and here we go if we put the temperatures on it. it has been exceptionally warm in spain and

southern france with temperatures in the mid 20s which is almost unheard of at this time of year. this pattern is continuing and will it change for the second half of february? who knows? you are supposed to know! it's too far away! the beast from the east was in march so we the beast from the east was in march so we could get that still. and the next few days? i'm coming onto that! you can see it has been mild in northern and western europe where it should be more blues. but the story is that it is turning colder as we move through the week. two days and then back to wet and windy for the weekend. could be these areas remain frost free throughout the whole winter. that can be a record. give us an winter. that can be a record. give us an idea of the next few days. low pressure to the north will bring some windy weather and at that sweeps through, high moves in and we start to see temperatures falling with lighter windies at night. we

have some rain in southern england and the channel, a lot of showers further north and west. heavy and snow on the hills and the wind can use to pick up in northern areas. temperatures 7—12d but they will follow quickly tonight as the winds picked up and colder air spreads south—eastwards. big store is the winds across northern and western scotland. 70 mph or more in exposure, 50—60 in northern england and northern ireland and a lot of snow showers as well which could be blowing lizard—like on the hills because of the wind. with this and the severe gales, likely to have some disruption through the night so stay tuned to the weather and bbc local radio and see the latest warnings online. plenty of showers in the second half of the night for the north—east of scotland and strong winds, a blustery night also and because of the wind and the

showers, temperatures should not fall much below two or three degrees foremost and largely frost free again. high—pressure comes in still some low pressure ringing strong winds to the north and east on tuesday morning. gusts of 40—50 mph further south and west and they booked lighter through the day as the high—pressure moves in along with showers. increasing amounts of sunshine in the afternoon. nine or 10 degrees but it will not feel that one because of the wind. high—pressure then moves in in the middle of the week with winds turning lighter, clearer skies at night so it will be colder. we start with some overnight frost. wednesday morning will be chilly, widespread frost across the board. mist and fog patches could be dense in places. wednesday and thursday both looking similar with cold starts with frost and on friday and to the weekend it

turns more unsettled, back to atla ntic turns more unsettled, back to atlantic weather systems to bring milderairand wetand atlantic weather systems to bring milder air and wet and windy conditions. this is bbc news. our latest headlines: the government says it's time to take action to stop the automatic early release of prisoners convicted of terror offences,

after yesterday's stabbings in south london by 20 year old sudesh amman, who had been freed last month. borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. built in just eight days — a 1,000 bed hospital opens in wuhan for coronavirus patitents, as one of the passengers who landed in the uk from wuhan is taken ill and escorted to hospital. the 2020 race for the white house starts in earnest tonight, as voters in the us state of iowa choose who they want to be the democrats' candidate in november's presidential election. sport now on afternoon live with lizzie — and we've seen a new super bowl star emerge, haven't we? it has. are you a fan of american football? i have been, yes. patrick mahomes is the one everyone is talking about.

he was already a star in super bowl but now he's transcended the sport after helping his side the kansas city chiefs to an outrageous comeback — winning their first super bowl for 50 years. beating the san francisco 49ers in miami. now the quarterback patrick mahomes had scored the chiefs' first touchdown earlier in the match, but by the final quarter they were 20—10 down and looking done—for, until mahomes pulled it out of the bag, with two superb touchdown throws and the chiefs went—on to win it 31—20. mahomes took the most valuable player award, he was player of the season last year, so at 24 he becomes the youngest nfl player to be given both accolades. it's amazing, it really is. you dream about this stuff when you're a little kid and ijust try to go out there and be the best person i can be every single day. i enjoy this every single day. i enjoy going to the facility. i enjoy watching film. i enjoy most of all the brotherhood a team builds and so for me, just to be here with these guys and winning the super bowl, it's amazing. and here's how it went down

with fans watching back in missouri. many of them weren't even alive last time the chiefs won a superbowl and they have a parade on wednesday to look forward to. the last time kansas city hosted a victory parade, after the baseball team, the royals won the world series five years ago, over 800,000 people turned out. and, simon, since we last spoke i had a quick look at the population of kansas city and it's less than half a million so they must have a far reaching fan base! it is all very exciting and we have to stop it there. sorry about that, we are going to the house of commons because the foreign secretary is talking about trade arrangements.- one united kingdom, we are now free to determine our own future as masters of our own destiny. we are free to reinvigorate our ties with old allies, we are free to forge new friendships around the world and as

we seek those new relationships with friends and partners, the interest of the british people and the integrity of our union will be the foundation stone of everything we do. the prime minister's speech this morning and a written statement to the house starts us out on this journey by setting out the government's approach to our relations with the eu in 2020. the most important thing about 2020 is that having left the eu at the start of it, at the end of it we will fully and with complete certainty regain complete economic and political independence. that is when the transition period ends and it will not be extended. we will have a new relationship with the eu as sovereign equals based on free trade. between now and the end of the year we will work with the eu to try to to negotiate a free—trade agreement drawing on other recent agreements like the one between the

eu and canada. that should be the co re eu and canada. that should be the core of our future relationship. we will look to reach agreements on other priorities including fisheries, internal security and aviation. and these will be backed up aviation. and these will be backed up by aviation. and these will be backed up by governance and dispute settlements arrangements are appropriate to a free—trade agreement. with no alignment and no role for the ecj respectful of our democratic prerogatives. we hope we can agree. if we cannot we will carry on trading with the eu in the same way as australia and many other countries around the world. as a free country collaborating where we can and settling our own rules that work for us. of course, the eu is not our only trading partner. at the same time we will be seeking to get agreements with other great trading countries around the world. we are delighted in the words of us

secretary of state mike pompeo when he was here last week that the uk is now front of the queue for a free—trade drill with the united states. and we expect to open negotiations with the us and other countries very soon. that way we can broaden our horizons to embrace the huge opportunities in the rising economies of the future, when 90% of the world's growth comes from. the secretary of state for international trade will set out more detail in a written statement later this week. i will be visiting australia, japan, singapore and malaysia over the next two weeks. mr speaker, at such a crossroads moment, it is fitting and timely that this government will engage ina timely that this government will engage in a thorough and careful review of the united kingdom's place in the world. including through the integrated security, defence and foreign policy review. this review is an opportunity for us to reassess

the ways we engage on the global stage, including in defence, diplomacy and our approach to development to ensure we have a fully integrated approach. because now is the moment to look ahead with confidence and ambition, to signal to our future partners the outward facing, trailblazing country we intend to be. mr speaker, we have a vision of a truly, truly global britain. the first pillar of our global britain strategy is to prove we are the best possible allies, partners and friends with our european neighbours. we are working closely with our european partners to find a political solution in libya. we will continue to stand together to hold iran to account for its systemic noncompliance with the jc poa, the nuclear deal. we work together to tackle shared threats in global challenges whether it is

rising authoritarianism, or the coronavirus. it was our honour to bring home 29 other europeans on the uk commission charter flight from wuhan, along with the 97 britons. because we will always look out for our european friends with whom we share so many interests and i'm grateful to the spanish foreign minister in that effort and indeed to the french foreign minister in relation to flight that came home on sunday. the next pillar of our global britain strategy will be the uk's role as an energetic champion of free and open trade. to boost small businesses, to cut the cost of living, to create the well— paid jobs of the future for the next generation, to provide more consumer choice, to raise uk productivity, so important for our levelling up a gender right across the country. the pursuit of shared prosperity has an essential role to play in our approach to development policy also. as we maintain our not .7%

commitment on development spending, we need to find better ways of making sure it contributes to long—term and sustainable economic growth. as we demonstrated at the uk africa investment summit, we believe the uk has a unique and competitive offer to tackle poverty and help poorer nations benefit in a way that benefits us all over the net longer term. finally as the third pillar of our global britain strategy will be the uk as an even stronger force for goodin the uk as an even stronger force for good in the world. our guiding lights will remain the values of democracy, human rights and the international rule of law. we were lead on global issues that really matter like climate change. that is why this year, we will be hosting the un climate change summit in glasgow. we were lead by example, will rise to the challenge by harnessing all the british talents

in tech, innovation, entrepreneurialism to find creative solutions to global problems. we will champion the great causes of our day like our will champion the great causes of ourday like ourcampaign will champion the great causes of our day like our campaign to give every girl access to 12 years of quality education. we will defend journalists from attack, stand up for freedom of religion and conscience. and we will develop our own independent sanctions regime to tackle human rights abusers head—on. together, united, we can show this country is so much bigger than the sum of its parts. i know that the gent—macro doesn't like that commitment but it was what the scottish people voted for. the 31st of january was a scottish people voted for. the 31st ofjanuary was a day scottish people voted for. the 31st of january was a day that scottish people voted for. the 31st ofjanuary was a day that will be etched in our history. it has been ha rd etched in our history. it has been hard going and i know many good people on all sides of this house andindeed people on all sides of this house and indeed on all sides of this totemic debate still bears the scars of the last three years. now is the

time to put our dismisses aside, now is the time to come together, so let us is the time to come together, so let usjoin together and is the time to come together, so let us join together and embrace is the time to come together, so let usjoin together and embrace a new chapter for our country. let's move forward united and unleash the enormous potential of the british people. let us show the world that our finest achievements and our greatest contributions lie ahead and i commend the statement to the house. i am expecting to run this for 45 minutes. can house. i am expecting to run this for45 minutes. can i house. i am expecting to run this for 45 minutes. can i thank the foreign secretary for advance copy of his statement. he is right to say that the last three years have been difficult and divisive for our country. he is also right to say that leaving the eu does not mark and ending. we have left the european union but brexit is far from done. the next stage as he knows is more difficult in agreeing our future relationship knows is more difficult in agreeing

ourfuture relationship in all the areas that he set out andy moore besides. and we will continue to be dogged by the central dilemma that was at the heart of so much of the wrangling over the last three years. is that new relationship going to be determined by the economic interests of our country or by the ideological commitment to break with the european social model that drew so many of the brexit enthusiasts? i am sorry to see that today statement suggests and the prime minister ‘s comments over the weekend that ideology has trumped common sense. there are difficult decisions that lie ahead for our country and if the government is serious about bringing the people together, we need reassurance that they will conduct the next stage of negotiations in an open and accountable way. and not by banning journalists from their political briefings. as apparently

they did earlier this afternoon. the government has already stripped parliament ‘s role in providing accountability in providing a withdrawal agreement will act so will the foreign secretary at least commit to publishing or negotiating texts a nd commit to publishing or negotiating texts and proposals and reporting to parliament on each round of negotiations? and will he as indeed i put negotiations? and will he as indeed iput in negotiations? and will he as indeed i put in this parliament in no less a place as the european parliament as their negotiators will and will do foreign secretary also set out exactly how the three devolved nations will be consulted at every stage of the process? the country has two options facing it with two opposite destinations. we can either form a new and close relationship with our biggest trading partners or we can open the door to lower our

standards with the damaging trade deal with donald trump that he welcomed in his comments. a trade deal, well, isee welcomed in his comments. a trade deal, well, i see the faces of some members opposite, they may change when the farmers that many of them represent respond to trump's ambitions for that trade deal, not only damaging farming but manufacturing and lowering standards. also opening our public services to real risks. members opposite might have noticed this weekend that the uk's former ambassador to the us was clear that trump willaim to ambassador to the us was clear that trump will aim to force the nhs to pay higher prices for pharmaceuticals. and the nhs themselves have expressed concerns about that. mr speaker, the reckless pursuit of a trump trade deal is limiting the government's aims in its negotiations with the eu. we

started with a commitment to the exact same benefits that we currently enjoy with the eu. that was scaled back to a frictionless trade, now it is either a damaging canada trade, now it is either a damaging ca na da style trade, now it is either a damaging canada style deal or leaving without a deal. now rebranded as an australian style deal. so can i ask the foreign secretary if the government still recognises its own analysis and he will note that the former prime ministers sitting behind him, its own analysis from 2018 which shows that a canada style deal would lead to a 6.7% reduction in ourgdp and deal would lead to a 6.7% reduction in our gdp and a wto brexit to a 9.3% hit, hurting every region and nation of our country. i had to say, business will be alarmed by the casual way the foreign secretary talks about leaving without an agreement. and other sectors will be concerned that they are not

mentioned at all when his statement. 0r mentioned at all when his statement. or in the written statement from the prime minister, university is critical to our future, so could you also confirm that the government will press for association with horizon europe and continued participation in erasmus? labour will continue to press for a relationship with our european partners are based on common regulation and a level playing field. for a new place in the world based on an internationalist values and a future with equality and social justice at and a future with equality and socialjustice at its heart. and i thank the honourable gentleman for his opening remarks about the importance of moving beyond the divisions of the referendum. i have to say i notice not one member of the shadow cabinet is here to address these issues. i apologise,

but one stop but the shadow foreign minister, the shadow brexit secretary, they are all busy debating the leadership. it is an important moment when all sides of the house to look at the future direction of this country. he talked about parliamentary scrutiny. we are absolutely clear and the prime minister made this point at second reading of the withdrawal agreement that parliament will be kept fully informed about progress of these negotiations. both houses will have access to all of the usual arrangements for scrutinising the actions of the executive and we are confident that the parliament will ta ke confident that the parliament will take full advantage of those opportunities. we will also make sure there is full engagement with the devolved administrations. he made a numberof the devolved administrations. he made a number of other points and i've been listening to his more re ce nt i've been listening to his more recent remarks, including since the election, where he has said that actually the labour party should have come out and campaign for remain during that election

campaign. it suggests to me that the honourable gentleman and the labour party still have not quite got it. that there is a referendum, a democratic will that must be respected. we will not move on from this debate let alone grasp the opportunities of brexit if the memberand the labour opportunities of brexit if the member and the labour party stay stuck in that right. he attacked and it wasn't clear to me in attacking the proposals and the ambition we have on the side of the house for a free trade agreements, whether it wasjust the tired free trade agreements, whether it was just the tired old anti—americanism that harbours in the labour party, whether he is against free trade in of and as of itself. but he doesn't seem to believe in democracy, in free trade and at points in his remarks, it doesn't seem to me that the honourable gentleman believes in the potential of this country. turning to his specific points on an fta with the us, let's be clear as we have been, the nhs is not on the

table during those negotiations. he asks about pharmaceutical companies, the pricing of uk medicine is not up for negotiation in those negotiations. he says it is not what the ambassador says, it is what this government this prime minister says. he talked about the fta with the united states but he makes no mention of the prospects for an ambitious free trade agreement with japan, australia, new zealand. is he against those as well? because it seems to me that the honourable gentleman is pitting himself against a huge opportunity for this country to grow its trade, to boost its small businesses, to ease the cost of living on consumers and that is a step backwards not forwards for the united kingdom. you mention forecasts, i think there is a degree of healthy scepticism about some of those forecasts but the united kingdom and the government are not

passive observers. it is incumbent upon us through an ambitious approach to free trade, getting the right immigration policy to make sure we grasp the opportunities and it is on this side that we are committed to grasping those opportunities and making a full success opportunities and making a full success of britain for every quarter of the union. finally, he refers to business sentiment and we had pmi data which was positive at 50 points in manufacturing today, we have had the ey i item club with an increase in business confidence and we had the imf increasing its forecasts for the imf increasing its forecasts for the uk. we are confident that we can make a success of brexit and i am only sorry the labour party is still looking over its shoulder. my honourable friend's statement made only the very passing references to the agreement on internal security for the future. unlike the labour party i don't expect the government to publish its full negotiating mandate but will the government make

much clearer publicly its intentions for that treaty in to key instruments that keep us safe such as pni instruments that keep us safe such as pm! and what is the final date on which it can be agreed such that it will become operational on the 1st of january 2021 ? will become operational on the 1st of january 2021? can i thank will become operational on the 1st ofjanuary 2021? can i thank my honourable friend, paid tribute to the work she has done and also i think for more detail point in the direction of the prime minister's statement, she will know there are difficulties from her own experience of negotiation with the eu, because they claim that some access to some of the instruments is conditional on accepting free movement and i know she will agree that we must bring an end to free movement. i accept that whether it is on data sharing, extradition, relationship with europe, these are important elements of our law enforcement cooperation and we are looking forward to securing appropriate relations with the eu. we will pull away from the

house of commons. further discussion on plans by the government for talks on plans by the government for talks on eu trade. just to bring you a side bar to this because we are hearing thatjournalists have walked out of a downing street briefing on boris johnson's brexit out of a downing street briefing on borisjohnson's brexit plans. this is after there was an attempt to restrict the briefing to selected publications and broadcasters. an invitation was sent out by number ten offering a technical background briefing on the prime minister ‘s plan to negotiate a canadian style free trade agreement. but when political correspondence from various outlets arrived, they were asked their names, told to stand in groups and then one group was invited in and the others were told to leave. we are hearing that all journalists have then walked out of that briefing. we will talk to one of our correspondence later on to find out just how of our correspondence later on to find outjust how significant of our correspondence later on to find out just how significant that may or may not be. you are watching

afternoon light. rebecca is here with the business news and we are talking about credit card debt because people are getting themselves into a terrible mess. the financial watchdog is worried that up to 2 million people in persistent debt, that is defined as people making the minimum credit ca rd people making the minimum credit card payment for 18 months, so therefore their debt is not reducing. it has written to the lenders to tell them to take steps to encourage them to help their borrowers to get out of the situation. because it can quickly spiral out of control and we will hear from spiral out of control and we will hearfrom someone, darren, who ended up hearfrom someone, darren, who ended up with £32,000 worth of debt. he is now back on an even keel but let's hear how his situation developed.” took my first loan and it was for

£1000. itjust went took my first loan and it was for £1000. it just went from took my first loan and it was for £1000. itjust went from there. i got to a point where i had exhausted loa n got to a point where i had exhausted loan so i called a credit card company, they offered me £200 on the card. and they just company, they offered me £200 on the card. and theyjust keep increasing the balance. and it is maxed out and you had to start paying it, can't pay it, get another card and you go through the same process, just iuggbng through the same process, just juggling the payments each month. you are not reducing the amounts,... i recently became homeless and i had nowhere to go. no one would give me any more money, i had exhausted all the cards, all the loans. you think it is just the end. i know i the cards, all the loans. you think it isjust the end. i know i had all the highs of spending, all the money, but when it was low, at that point, it was low. it was awful. it just consumes every thought, every moment of the day. you are just worrying about debt. awful. how do these changes were?

a very difficult situation. the rules are that if you have only been making the minimum payment for 18 months, you are not making progress in reducing the debt, so the lender has to advise the borrower to advise them to make changes to the payments. if there is known changes, a further three reminders are sent. it is not necessarily the most effective thing. if nothing happens after that, the lender has to right to cancel the card but charities are worried because if you cancel the ca rd of worried because if you cancel the card of someone in hardship, you have cut off an important credit supply which in some people —— some people use that to pay their mortgage. the fca is telling lenders they are giving this option of cutting people's credit off but don't take it too hastily because you could force people into hardship. try and come into an

arrangement with the borrower. a quick look at the markets. here we go. more of their eyes for the 100 show and it is the 1% gain. a little bit higher for the european markets. the pound against the euro, pound against the dollar, not much in terms of movement today so far. scientists have caught a grey seal apparently "clapping" on camera for the first time in the wild. although seals are famous for being taught to clap in zoos, experts say this footage shows their ability to do so of their own accord. it's thought the clapping may be a power move to demonstrate their strength, ward off competitors and attract potential mates.

let's have a look at the weather.m has been a breezy day. plenty of sunshine around. but areas of rain also. this bringing rain towards the channel, some of it quite heavy and persistent, and the big story through monday into tuesday is this area of low pressure pushing into the north which will bring a swathe of severe gales and plenty of heavy showers. for the end of the afternoon, these sorts of temperatures, double figures across the south—east. we lose the rain for the south—east. we lose the rain for the channel as we move through the evening period. lengthy clear spells for the middle and southwards but further north, it turns windier and windier. lots of blustery showers moving through, gusts 50—60 mph, in excess of 70 across the north and west of scotland and that will drive in the some heavy showers with drifting snow over the mountains. the combination of gales and wintry

showers over the high ground could lead to some disruption later today, through the evening and overnight. it stays windier because the northern half of the country as we move through the early hours. some of the strongest winds transferring towards the north—east of scotland. largely frost free for most because of the wind. heavy showers across the northern half of the country. high pressure slowly trying to topple in on tuesday butwe still content with this area oi! low had to content with this area of low pressure which will bring us a windy start right across the country but particularly across northern and eastern areas. plenty of squally showers, these will be wintry over the high ground of scotland. those will ease down through the afternoon, also easing away from the cheshire gap. increasing amounts of sunshine. the winds will start to turn lights, particularly towards the south—west and temperatures ranging from 8—10d. high—pressure in

around the middle of the week, that will bring lighter winds, more settled conditions with increasing amounts of sunshine but also a return to colder weather. wednesday will start on a cold and frosty out for many and there will be some mist and fog patches, some of which could be dense and problematic. wednesday and thursday, chilly days and a change as we end the week, something milder and windier moving in off the atlantic.

hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at 4... released days after serving half his sentence and under surveillance. as questions are asked about why a terrorist was free to stab victims in london, the government says it will act. the anomaly we need to clear up is the process by which some people are still coming out under automatic early release without any kind of scrutiny or parole system. borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. built in just eight days, a 1000 bed hospital opens in wuhan for coronavirus patients as one of the passengers who landed in the uk from wuhan is taken ill and escorted to hospital. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport.

patrick mahomes is the man at the moment, helping the kansas city chiefs win theirfirst moment, helping the kansas city chiefs win their first super bowl for 50 years. thank you. a look at the weather put wind in the north of the weather put wind in the north of the country tonight, severe gales in scotla nd the country tonight, severe gales in scotland and potentially destructive winds picked by the middle of the week high pressure builds and things will settle down but it will turn colder. all the details later. thanks stav. also coming up... an underwater seal of approval. scientists have caught a grey seal apparently "clapping" on camera for the first time in the wild. hello, everyone, this

is afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. the prime minister has promised ‘fundamental‘ changes to the way convicted terrorists are handled following yesterday's knife attack in south london. sudesh amman was shot dead by police after he stabbed two people in streatham. he'd only recently been freed from prison, after serving half of his sentence for terrorism offences. the attack in streatham began at four minutes to two yesterday afternoon, when amman grabbed a knife from a shop on the high street. two minutes later, he stabbed his first victim outside the white lion pub. seconds later, he stabbed another person outside within two minutes, police shot amman dead on the high street. and four minutes after the victims were stabbed, medics arrived on the scene. this morning, police have been searching a hostel where he had been staying. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, reports. this may have been what police have called an isolated attack. it may be that no one was killed. but a huge police investigation is under way nonetheless, starting where it happened, a busy street in south london. george saw the face of the knifeman.

ijust keep having this image in my head, i can see how, the expression on his face... it was like he was trying to say something, and he was so young. seriously, i cannot understand why people would actually want to do that. it's just really, really stupid and ridiculous. such a waste of life. absolute waste of life. we know he was stopped by armed, covert surveillance officers. we know he was being followed and that suggests he was regarded as likely to attempt some sort of attack. this is the hostel where he was staying after being released from prison, having served his sentence. that's an automatic process and the fact this is the second time that a terrorism prisoner has gone on to carry out an attack means there are now calls for something to change.

angry, because both these attacks, the one in november and the one yesterday, were preventable and foreseeable. i've been concerned for some time and i've made my views clear in relation to changes in the law made by the government which mean thatjudges haven't got the tools they used to have to keep people in prison longer who are still a danger to the public. and so, this morning, the prime minister promised a tougher approach. i hope people understand that the anomaly we need to clear up is the process by which some people are still coming out under automatic early release without any kind of scrutiny or parole system. and the problem is that this sort of attack — a single attacker, a low—tech weapon, no warning — is putting pressure on what is already a system for deradicalising extremists which is not yet proven to work well. the former prisons minister and now london mayoral candidate accepts that, despite his time in charge, things need to improve.

as we get more terrorist offenders coming into the system, and this is a relatively new phenomenon, this number of terrorists in the prison system wasn't there ten years ago, we need much more training and expertise. and increasingly, the type of terrorists we are dealing with are different to the type of terrorists we were dealing with five years ago, so the expertise and training we need is different to what we needed five years ago. there are other questions to answer. should, could amman have been stopped from starting his attack by watching police? whatever the answer, the action they did take has almost certainly saved lives. tom symonds, bbc news, streatham. earlier, i spoke to professor ian acheson, who led an independent review of islamist terrorism in prisons and probation four years ago. offenders will have different pathologies and problems, which is why we need an individualised treatment programme to tackle their offending behaviour, to understand the motivations behind their terrorist offending and to get

a much better picture of the risk they present. at the moment, thatjob relies on a number of different agencies across the lifetime of the person's sentence and various handoffs at various stages. i think that is wholly insufficient. we need to have an expert team case—managing terrorist offenders from the start of their sentence to the end of their community sentence, who build up a very intensive picture or profile of the criminality, the threat and offending, and who take the role of making decisions on whether offenders are suitable to be released when it comes to the discretionary release point in their sentences, and keeping them inside until such times as their dangerousness has been released. because members of the public who are looking at what has happened will be absolutely bewildered. we cannot normalise people going into custody, coming out again as bad if not worse

than they were when they went in, with their hateful ideology and motivations completely intact and trying to slaughter people on suburban streets. it simply will not stand and it must be tackled. i want to pick up on that word normalise because is there a risk that we are already overreacting to this on the basis we are talking about islamist terrorism, we are talking thankfully, mercifully in this case, no one has been killed, we are talking about a stabbing, two, three stabbings on a london street. isn't this going to be a fact of life for people in london from now on given that we have many of these terrorists in prison at the moment who will eventually be released and if we don't give them what this guy clearly was after, which was a martyrdom, his name up in lights, and to some degree he has achieved a bit of that. i simply don't accept that we have to give up or indeed that we accept a kind of normalised level of violence or threat. i have to say that i have heard that

on many occasions and often from people who are working in the criminaljustice system, it seems to be a rather convenient rock to hide behind when we need to be confronting and assertively managing the risk. much more should be done, much more can be done. i am certain of one thing, the prison service itself, the prison and probation service is really sitting at the last chance saloon here in terms of its competence to manage these offenders. if it cannot guarantee the safety and intervene effectively to reduce the risk these offenders pose, then it ought to be completely divested of the responsibility to manage it. borisjohnson has set out his vision for a trade deal with the european union, insisting britain will not have to follow the eu's rules in future. speaking in greenwich, the prime minister said he wanted a free trade agreement similar to the one the eu struck with canada, and warned he would be ready to walk away if he couldn't agree one. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the eu wants a close trading relationship with the uk, but would not accept britain having "unfair competitive adva ntages". here's our political

correspondent, helen catt. the break—up's done, but what comes next? in brussels and in london, two visions of a future relationship. good morning, everybody. in his first speech since the uk left the eu, borisjohnson set out what he wants. we want a thriving trade and economic relationship with the eu. but... there is no need for a free trade agreement to involve accepting eu rules on competition policy, subsidies, social protections, the environment or anything similar, any more than the eu should be obliged to accept uk rules. meanwhile, in brussels... we are ready to offer a highly ambitious trade deal as the central pillar of this partnership, including zero tariffs and zero quotas.

but... we must now agree on specific and effective guarantees to ensure a level playing field over the long—term. it is a gap negotiators will have to work out how to bridge in the coming months. borisjohnson has ruled out a norway—style close relationship with the eu as a solution. instead, he wants an agreement like canada's, which has almost no tariffs but does have checks. if he can't have that, he says it will have to be an arrangement like australia's. it doesn't have a trade deal with the eu, although it's negotiating one, but has side deals instead. those would involve some form of customs checks on goods, and businesses that rely on importing and exporting parts or products will need time to prepare for any new regime. they will also need to reach agreements on issues like fishing and service industries. the uk and eu did agree a broad outline the future relationship before the uk left in the political declaration but it is open to interpretation and, as ever, it will come down to the detail

to make it work. both sides say a deal can be done, but getting there, particularly in such a short time, may mean a challenging few months ahead. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. and in the last half hour, the foreign secretary, dominic raab, has been speaking in the house of commons about the uk's new relationship with the eu and a future free—trade deal. we will have a new relationship with the eu as a sovereign equals based on free trade. between now and end of the year we will work with the eu to try to negotiate a free—trade agreement drawing on other recent agreements like the one between the eu and canada. that should be the co re eu and canada. that should be the core of our future relationship. we will look to reach agreements on other priorities including fisheries, internal security and aviation. and these will be backed

up aviation. and these will be backed up by aviation. and these will be backed up by governance and dispute settle m e nt up by governance and dispute settlement arrangements are appropriate to a free—trade agreement. with no alignment and no role for the ecj respectful of our democratic prerogatives. we hope we can agree. if we cannot, we will of course carry on trading with the eu in the same way as australia and many other countries around the world. as a free country collaborating where we can and settling our own rules that work for us. settling our own rules that work for us. of course, mr speaker, the eu is not our only trading partner and at the same time we will be seeking to get agreements with other great trading countries around the world. we are delighted and that would us secretary of state mike pompeo when he was here last week that the uk is now front of the queue for a free—trade deal with the united states. and we expect to open negotiations with the us and other countries very soon. that way we can

broaden our horizons to embrace the huge opportunities in the rising economies of the future where 90% of the world's growth comes from. that was dominic raab at borisjohnson earlier setting out his vision for a trade deal with the eu saying there was no need for the uk to follow brussels a part deal with the eu saying there was no need for the uk to follow brussels' rules. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is at westminster. the battle lines are being drawn? as you would expect at the beginning of a negotiation, both sides saying there is no way we will accept a and there is no way we will accept a and the other side they will do not accept b but the problem is can they go into negotiations and find some compromise and agreement between them? what was interesting from borisjohnson, tory them? what was interesting from boris johnson, tory ministers them? what was interesting from borisjohnson, tory ministers in the last few years have gone from saying we will have the exact same benefits as we had when we were in the single market and the eu have said you will certainly not get that and then theresa may talked about having frictionless trade but that seems to have gone as well. the most

interesting thing today was boris johnson saying very clearly that there will be a difference and whether it is so called canada, a free—trade agreement, or australia where they don't have an agreement, there are going to be some barriers to trade that are not there at the moment. businesses hoping to try and prepare still of course don't know what they will be preparing for. but borisjohnson has always made clear as he did in the legs and that there is no point in the uk leaving the eu if we simply carry on following rules from brussels —— as he did in the election. he wants to move away from that and the question is how much of a diversions and how much of a removalfrom much of a diversions and how much of a removal from frictionless trade is he willing to accept —— of a divergences. and depends it on the talk of a deal with the us we will hear not for the last time about chlorinated chicken and the nhs. he is saying we will not lower standards for anybody. part of the row with the eu is about them saying that we have to make sure you stick

to our high standards and he is saying that we have led the way in a lot of these when it comes to workers' rights, environmental since but equally he would say the same about the americans as well. saying we will not let in products we don't think are safe and he has made it very clear time and again the nhs is not going to be on the negotiating table. he said today that we will do more than one thing at once, we can have negotiations with lots of different countries but the question of how quickly they can get the deals done. vicki young, thank you. the bbc has confirmed an increase to the cost of the annual television licence. the price will rise by three pounds, to £157.50, from the 1st of april. it comes after the government has suggested the cost of the licence fee is coming up more on the doorstep. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. released days after serving half his sentence — and under surveillance — as questions are asked about why

a terrorist was free to stab victims in london, the government says it will act. borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. built in just eight days — a 1000 bed hospital opens in wuhan for corona virus patients as one of the passengers who landed in the uk from wuhan is taken ill and escorted to hospital sta rt start after propelling the kansas city chiefs to a makris comeback to win theirfirst city chiefs to a makris comeback to win their first super bowl for 50 yea rs. scotland will be without finn russell again for their six nations game against england on saturday. the fly half was dropped for their defeat to ireland at the weekend for breaching team protocol after a drinking session. and there's a new era for england rugby league as shaun wane is confirmed as their new head coach. the former wigan boss had been working as a high performance coach with scottish rugby union. i'll be back with more on those stories later. a new hospital specifically built

to tackle coronavirus has opened today in the city of wuhan. to tackle coronavirus has opened according to chinese authorities, building began on 24th january and a live stream of construction crews working against the clock has been followed by millions across the world. the new hospital has 1,000 beds and its first patients arrived today. let's take a look at some the developments with the virus. the current death toll in china alone stands at 361 — more than the sars virus outbreak in 2003. here in the uk, the government have pledged £20 million to help fund research for a vaccine to tackle the infection. and the world health organisation says that around the world there are 151 cases in 23 countries. a vaccine against the virus is still months away from being widely available — that's according to our health correspondent, dominic hughes. i spoke to him earlier. you mentioned the vaccine that scientists around the world are trying to develop, that was helped immensely by the fact that the chinese authorities released the genetic code they had found out very

quickly, and released that to the international community, which allowed scientists to collaborate around the world in trying to formulate a vaccine. but we were warned yesterday when we got the announcement of the £20 million from the uk government towards a global partnership trying to find a vaccine, that is months away from being widely available. all those short—term measures that people have been talking about to try to contain the virus — good personal hygiene, using and then disposing of tissues, washing your hands properly, all those sorts of things — that is probably the most effective way of containing the spread of this disease as well as putting people into quarantine, quarantining people or telling them to stay at home themselves if they suspect they have been exposed to the virus. one thing you did not mention was masks. is there any point in them? well, it's difficult to know. they believe that the way this virus is spread is by airborne droplets. in the same way you spread flu, someone sneezing or coughing

without using a tissue or a handkerchief or their arm over their mouth, they believe that is the way it is spread. yeah, i suppose a mask or any kind of barrier over your mouth would help. we are hearing that one of those brought back to the uk has been taken to hospital with suspicious symptoms — one can say no more than that at this stage. but there is very much a sense that we are yet anywhere near the pinnacle of this. yes, i think what we heard about this one patient is they were part of the 11 people who were brought out of china on a french flight. it was while flying from marseille to raf brize norton, as i understand it, that this person started to feel unwell. they did exactly the right thing, they reported that to health officials. they self isolated, took themselves away from the rest of the group

on the flight i guess, and when they got to raf brize norton, ten of that group of 11 came here to the north west of england and went into the accommodation where the first group of 83 people went to at arrowe park hospital, and that one person was then taken to hospital for further tests. as i understand it, that person basically was suffering from cold—like symptoms but they did exactly the right thing in erring on the side of caution i think. an independent inquiry is expected to call for major changes in the way private hospitals supervise doctors, after hundreds of women were put through unnecessary operations by a rogue breast surgeon. john maguire has been speaking to victims of the convicted surgeon, ian paterson, ahead of an inquiry into his malpractice, which will be published tomorrow. ian paterson is serving a 20—year jail sentence after carrying out hundreds of unnecessary operations on women and men, preying

on their fear of breast cancer. most often, there was nothing wrong with them. i went for surgery, but not only did he operate on the one side of my breast, the right side, he took a big chunk out of my left side that i had no idea he was going to do. so, i woke up plastered on both sides, to be quite honest. all i remember is waking up and seeing what i looked like afterwards. and it was just horrible. i was so upset. paterson operated for a second time on cheryl ten years ago, he left serious and lasting scars, both physical and psychological. "hate" is a big word, but i dislike him. i'm sad for what he has done to me, i'm sad for what he did to my mind, if i'm honest. i have no peace of mind. even now i still worry. it is unnecessary, i should be enjoying my life,

but it is still in the background. judith eva was also operated on twice, years apart, both times, the surgery was entirely unjustified. i thought it was dreadful. when i realised, i couldn't believe it at first, because he seemed such a nice, charming person, and i thought he was looking after me, going to help me if there was a problem. and then i started to feel quite angry, the fact that somebody had done this to me when it didn't need to be done. he had used a toxic, but highly effective, combination of charm and arrogance to deceive his employers, colleagues and patients. and i think probably a lot of other people as well thought he was, you know, very nice, very kind person, a bit ofa hero, really, because he saved people.

but as it turned out, the things he did, it's unbelievable, i think he'sjust an evil man. i don't think however many times you try to reason why he did this or did that, i don't think you would ever be able to understand why somebody could do that. almost 800 victims shared compensation worth £37 million from the spire private hospitals and the nhs trust where ian paterson worked in the west midlands. linda millband has represented the vast majority of patients, and says red flags about the surgeon were missed. i think there were opportunities for everybody. secretary is given an on coronavirus and we can hearfrom secretary is given an on coronavirus and we can hear from matt hancock. 0n on friday a foreign office chartered aircraft carrying 83 british nationals left wuhan for the uk i

wa nt to nationals left wuhan for the uk i want to thank all those involved in this operation including staff at my own department, the foreign office, border force, the ministry of defence and military medics, as well as all of the nhs staff and officials at public health england and many more who have worked 24/7 on our response so far. and many more who have worked 24/7 on our response so far. yesterday we brought a further 11 people back via france and returned uk nationals have been transferred to off—site accommodation within the nhs at park hospital on the wirral where they will spend 14 days in a supported quarantine as a precautionary measure and up to thank all the staff at arrowe park who have done so staff at arrowe park who have done so much to make this possible. there they will have access to a specialist medical team who will regularly assess their symptoms. in addition, one british national has been taken to a separate nhs facility for testing. we will take a belt and braces approach that put

public protection as the absolute top priority for a virus that is increasingly spreading across the world. as of today, there are over 17,000 cases diagnosed in mainland china. with a further 185 in other countries including france and germany and the united states. there have been 362 fatalities so far. the world health organization has now declared the situation a public health emergency of international concern and the uk chief medical officers have raised the risk to the uk from low to moderate point that we are working closely with the who and international partners to ensure that we are ready for all eventualities. this afternoon health ministers from g7 countries spoke and we agreed to coordinate our evidence and response wherever possible. currently the number of

cases is doubling around every five days and it is clear that the virus will be with us for at least some months to come. this is a marathon, not a sprint. 0n existing evidence, most cases are mild and most people recover. nevertheless, anyone who has travelled from wuhan or hubei province in the last 14 days should immediately contact nhs111 to inform them of recent travel, should stay indoors and avoid contact with other people, just as they would with the flu, even if there are no symptoms. anyone who has travelled to the uk from mainland china in the last 14 days and is experiencing a cough orfever or last 14 days and is experiencing a cough or fever or shortness of breath should self isolate and call nhs breath should self isolate and call nh5111 breath should self isolate and call nhs111 even if symptoms are breath should self isolate and call nhs 111 even if symptoms are mild. mr speaker, we will do all we can to tackle this by risk. we are one of the first countries in the world to develop a new test for the virus.

testing worldwide is being done on equipment designed in oxford and today i am making £20 million available to the coalition for epidemic preparedness innovations to speed up the development of a vaccine. i can also announce that public health england has sequenced the viral genome from the first two positive cases in the uk and today is making that sequence available to the scientific community. their findings suggest that virus has not evolved in the last month. we have also launched a public information campaign setting out how every member of the public, including members of this house, can help by taking simple steps to minimise the risk to themselves and their families, washing hands, using tissues when you sneeze, just as you would with flu. that goes for all of us. would with flu. that goes for all of us. mr speaker, we remain both vigilant and determined to tackle this bios with well—developed plans in place and i commend this

statement to the house. just to say, expected to run this for up to 45 minutes. thank you, mr speaker and i'm grateful to the secretary of state for advance sight of his statement and for the way in which he has kept the house updated. i'm also grateful for him making arrangements for the chief medical officer, nhs england officials and public health england officials to keep me updated as well. i thoughts are naturally with those who have lost their lives and those who have contracted the virus including the two cases he has mentioned. and i thank our nhs staff who once can show themselves to be exceptional and dedicated? can i pay tribute to our world leading expertise at public health england and nhs england as well and can also join him on putting on record our thanks to all those involved in returning to all those involved in returning to british nationals from wuhan? could he tell the house if it is the government's intention to return all remaining british nationals in china

and will there be more fco chartered flights in the coming days? i agree with him that we must remain vigilant and alert, not to succumb to alarmism or scaremongering. as things stand, this virus has around 82% mortality rate, significant certainly but as he says, most people will recover. however, this virus is highly infectious. at the pathogen appears to be easily transmitted. cases have been reported now in over 20 countries. of the epidemic has grown at a pace quite unprecedented in recent history with the official case count more than tripling in the past week. i welcome the remark he made about the g7. he will be aware of course we have seen the g7. he will be aware of course we have seen cases the g7. he will be aware of course we have seen cases in countries such as cambodia, nepal, the philippines, countries with weaker health system thanl countries with weaker health system than i was. could he tell us what work it's carrying out with the secretary for international

department to support countries around the world who may need extra help at this time? i welcome the secretary of state's 20 million for vaccine research but we have to recognise that even if a vaccine is produced, it is probably some months away. therefore slowing down the virus spread, while the vaccine is developed, is absolutely crucial. could he tell the house out many people has a public health england contacted who have been in touch with the two people who were infected? is he able to share it with the house those figures? i also understand and indeed endorse the precaution of nhs england in quarantining evacuees from wuhan and arrowe park hospital on the way will i must mention my honourable friend from wirral west who has been in touch regularly with ministers and her constituents and the hospital since the news broke last thursday. i have also been contacted by a patient in quarantine who has told me that evacuees are only tested for

the virus if they displayed symptoms because risk of virus transmission is considered low. it would help reassure the house if the secretary of state could clarify why, if the risk of transmission among non—symptomatic evacuees is low, there is no option for evacuees to itself quarantine at home? i understand japan and the netherlands are allowing such quarantine. as i say, i endorse the precautions that ministers are taking but i think it would be helpful if the secretary of state could offer greater clarity and those reassurances. and indeed what would be the response of the government and the nhs if evacuees wanted to leave arrowe park and itself quarantine at home, can be —— could update the house on that point i welcome the public health information campaign but could he update us on what discussions he has had with local authority public health officials and also local of these, social care providers and social care staff who are caring for

people who are especially vulnerable to the respiratory problems associated with coronavirus? we know this is also a time of considerable strain on the nhs. he will accept this is a time of huge pressure on the nhs. could you tell the house how many specialist beds there are available across the syste m there are available across the system to deal with more cases of coronavirus should we need them and what is the capacity of trusts to flex up extra beds if needed? if we are, if we do succumb to the epidemic in the uk, it will start affecting the wider nhs workforce as well. what plans are in place to ensure nhs staff are protected over the coming months because as he rightly says, this is a marathon not a sprint. and finally, i am sure the secretary of state with me that we should have no truck with the racism

and insensitivity shown towards chinese and east asian people that we have certainly seen in some quarters. wrongly attributed videos showing wild animals being eaten, crass cartoons in the evening standard, the french media up old racist tropes, none of these attempts to dehumanise an entire ethnicity should be allowed to prevail but i welcome the statement today and i hope he will continue to keep the house updated in the coming days and weeks. i will try to answer all of these questions, not least because i want to pay tribute to the shadow secretary of state for his balanced and very reasonable approach in tackling what is ultimately a very significant public health challenge. i entirely agree with him and perhaps should have put it in my initial statement. the rejection that this whole house demonstrates to any racism and

insensitivity towards the chinese community here or indeed visitors here of chinese origin, because that will not help us tackle this disease. we will do everything we can to tackle this disease, but racism will not help anybody. so i share entirely with the comments that he made. we have no plans to evacuate all remaining uk nationals in china. there is an estimated 30,000 uk nationals in china and the proportion of the population who have the virus outside of wuhan is much lower than in wuhan itself. let's pull away from the house of commons. matt hancock giving the latest on the coronavirus. we will have much more on that injust latest on the coronavirus. we will have much more on that in just a moment because we now go nationwide.

our chance to catch up with the bbc nations and regions across the uk. we have north west tonight's roger johnson who talking about the latest updates from the hospital where british nationals evacuated from china are being isolated. and also from look north, we have peter levy in hull, who is telling us about how a community in grimsby has pulled together diy—sos style to help a children's football club. so, roger, what's the latest from arrowe park? arrow park is the quarantine centre where those people you were hearing about on friday on that flight from wuhan were brought. 83 of them made their way to the wirral. they are being kept in an accommodation block in the grounds of arroww park hospital, not actually in the hospital itself. there is no sign

that any of them have symptoms of the coronavirus. the coach you are seeing there is one which came in last night which was carrying a further 11, while the plane was carrying a further 11 british citizens out of china. one of them on board the flight did show signs of some of the symptoms of coronavirus and has been taken for treatment just to make coronavirus and has been taken for treatmentjust to make sure, there is still no word that has been confirmed but the other ten have joined the other 83, they are all at arrowe park and as far as we know, none of them are showing any signs of any of the symptoms. the health secretary touched on it there but do we know if there are more britons waiting to come home from china? he gave a number of 30,000 british citizens still in china, some of them would like to come home, there is no question about that, but matt hancock made it clear that it was really wu ha n hancock made it clear that it was really wuhan in which the focus of attention in terms of getting people

out, that is the hotspot of the coronavirus. we heard from stefan atherton, he is in a place about ten hours drive from wuhan. he says, have a listen to him, it is eerily quiet there. one is still being broadcast. stay indoors, i think they are saying. eerie feeling around the place. there is nobody here but there is this voice ringing out, echoing out around the estate. it sounds scary. a bit of a ghost town, but understandable of course. here, lots of focus on the wirral, arrowe park hospital. there are hospitals around the country but the government has set up £20 million to help combat this illness. hospitals in liverpool, liverpool school of tropical medicine, all part of that

fight but as of the moment, no one at arrowe park at least showing any symptoms. is that your lead story tonight? it is. and over to peter. what was wrong with this child ren's football club? this is a club for 4—16 —year—olds. it has 40-60 this is a club for 4—16 —year—olds. it has 40—60 children playing every week. the clubhouse and changing rooms where needing repair, renovation work to the whole building, holes in the roof, outdated heating system. an appeal was put out to help. one of the mothers put a post on social media, she particularly wanted help because her daughter who has disabilities goes to the club and the club have been very welcoming to her and her other children. there was an amazing response from local traders, eve ryo ne response from local traders, everyone got to work, you can see the results there, looking fantastic. the club was overwhelmed with offers of help after this

appeal went out. that is what happened. the children were then invited along this weekend to see the finished clubhouse, this is them. captain of the under14s. i am proud of the place. quite happy, new facilities, looking like an actual changing room. my first year at the club. it is improving quite a lot. that is great, a bit like diy sos in grimsby. a fantastic example of community spirit, everyone getting together to offer their services free of charge. many of the traders had played football at sydney pop themselves. the club is very important, giving youngsters to do and building up their confidence. just like diy sos orfor and building up their confidence. just like diy sos or for those of us who are slightly older, we remember challenge anneka, that was the weekend when it was all opening up. it is worth club's thinking who are

watching across the country now, in the same situation, if there is a clu b the same situation, if there is a club in the same situation around the country and they need some refurbishment, put a post out and see if local traders want to help andjump in. you see if local traders want to help and jump in. you thought i was going to do and jump in. you thought i was going todoa and jump in. you thought i was going to do a gag and i wasn't, i was being serious. you always think you are going to do a gag yourself!m is only me who thinks it is funny. thank you! if you'd like to see more on any of those stories, you can access them via the bbc iplayer and we go nationwide every weekday afternoon at 430 here afternoon live. the 2020 race for the white house starts in earnest tonight, as voters in the us state of iowa choose who they want to be the democrats' candidate in november's presidential election. known as the iowa caucuses,

the vote begins a state—by—state selection process. polls suggest the veteran senator, bernie sanders, holds a narrow lead over the former vice—president, joe biden. gary o'donogue reports from the state capital, des moines. this is the heart of the american midwest. the centre of the cornbelt, a place where pigs outnumber people 7—1. but every four years, iowa becomes the centre of national politics and this self—proclaimed democratic socialist insists he can beat donald trump. let us go forward together, let us defeat donald trump. cheering. let us transform this country. thank you all very much. four years ago, bernie sanders was neck and neck with hillary clinton here in iowa. the enthusiasm he generated then has

translated four years later. he is the candidate to beat. vying for the left of centre vote is another us senator, elizabeth warren. her pitch, a progressive who won't frighten off the moderates. but if iowans worry about their politics, they also worry about their football. sunday's super bowl, another huge contest. it's all competition, you've got to win. nobody wants second place. it's no good, everybody wants to win. so, i'm just ready for the super bowl, take it one step at a time and then tomorrow i'll go to caucus and take my boys there too. so, what i'm asking for is for us to make history together on monday night. pete buttigieg has been the surprise of this campaign, a gay, small—town mayor, who is polling strongly. i've seen him speak six times now, and he'sjust a great candidate. i'm concerned that the rest

of america will not vote for a gay candidate. really, though, the nomination race should bejoe biden's to lose. he is a former vice president and has the backing of the democratic establishment. but he's not running away with it. we can't turn four years of donald trump into an aberration, a historical aberration. but eight years, he'll change the country in a way we can't tolerate. we need you, we need you, we need you. doing well here can make all the difference. momentum for those who succeed, stalling into failure for those who do not. there's a lot at stake. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, des moines, iowa. red diesel — it's cheap fuel — that costs about 85p a litre — it should only be used by farmers not by every day drivers. now motorists are being warned that they face heavy fines — or losing their cars — if they're caught with red diesel in theirfuel tanks.

at this filling station forecourt in sheffield, anyone can buy red diesel as long as they don't use it on the road. so, what are these guys doing with it? there's a lot in that boot. we don't know where they're going or what they're going to use it for. it might be legit, but i'd hazard a guess it isn't. and when i approached them, it wasn't. afternoon, gents. what's with the red diesel? what red diesel? the red diesel you're pouring in that car. i'm from the bbc, by the way. thank you, guys. hold on, hold on. leave the camera alone, we want to know what you're doing, mate. just a few questions, mate, that's all i want to ask. this isn't a victimless crime. the money being stolen from this fraud should be funnelled into the national health service, schools, police forces and so forth. but in birmingham, this guy is also filling up. hey, you're running that on red, mate? eh? are you running that on red? a little bit. yeah? it's still diesel, it's just got colouring in it.

yeah? he buys it from this local supplier for 85p a litre. the pump says it's not for road use, but on the company website the tone is very different. there is a line in there about "illegally using red diesel is a serious criminal offence", but are they really allowed to encourage it? so, i'm checking them out. it's all right for the car and that? i can't tell you anything like that. as soon as i say it's for my car, he should stop the sale, but he doesn't. and today i'm among regulars like the man i spoke to earlier. excuse me, sir. john gibson from the bbc. why are you filling your car with red diesel? why? yeah. i'm not taking any questions. the company supplying the diesel, gb fuels, is run by carlton beckford and his brother adrian. why are you selling red diesel illegally?

illegally? sorry, it's illegal to put it into a car. we've always said that and that is it. but after the bbc approached them, they have made changes. no matter what you do, before you start pumping that diesel, you ask them people what they need it for. i can't be fairer than that, can i? he's also changed its website because anyone found using red diesel on the road faces prosecution. jonathan gibson, bbc news. in a moment, the latest business news. first a look at the headlines on afternoon live. released days after serving half his sentence and under surveillance — as questions are asked about why a terrorist was free to stab victims in london, the government says it will act. borisjohnson says the uk won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. built in just eight days — a 1,000 bed hospital opens in wuhan for coronavirus patients,

as one of the passengers who landed in the uk from wuhan is taken ill and escorted to hospital. here's your business headlines on afternoon live: chinese shares saw their biggest fall in four years because of the coronavirus. the fall was amplified by pent up demand — the markets have been shut for over a week because of the annual lunar new year holiday. consumer goods company shares were hit hard. but investors expected one group of companies to do well — healthcare ones — shares for that sector soared. credit card providers should consider cutting or letting people off fees for what's called persistent debt — people whose repayments don't keep up with interest and other charges so their debt spirals. the city regulator, the financial conduct authority, has written to credit card providers, telling them to review their approach to borrowers who are stuck in persistent debt. how's the manufacturing sector in the uk doing

amid the political uncertainty? not bad, according to figures from the data gathering service ihs markit. its pmi measure was at a nine—month high injanuary of 50, up from 47.5 in december. a score higher than 50 means the sector is growing, below 50 means it's shrinking. markets, what is going on? we will talk to kathleen brooks in a minute. ryanair shares rose 4% earlier today on news that it turned a profit in the third quarter of this year. compared with a loss. coronavirus does come into it, kathleen would suggest. kathleen, can you explain? what we will see is a bit more

differentiation in airline stocks. since the coronavirus has hit, we have been sold aggressively. ryanair have been sold aggressively. ryanair have seen their share price increase is largely because of those results but also because more european focused airliners, ryanair, easyjet as well, they could benefit from holiday— makers staying in as well, they could benefit from holiday—makers staying in europe rather than going to other exotic locations. some of the more global airlines, they could still continue to struggle while coronavirus is ongoing while ryanair and easyjet could be some of the bigger winners. let's look at the losers. the chinese markets were playing catch up chinese markets were playing catch upfor chinese markets were playing catch up for all sorts of news that has been coming out while the markets have been shot in that part of the world for the lunar new year holiday. were there any knock—on surprises in this part of the world, something the markets hadn't prepared for? everyone thinks manufacturing, car production, that is very big in china, very important

for some of the european and american companies, but car manufacturers have been under pressure today. nissan are down more than 1% pressure today. nissan are down more than1% and pressure today. nissan are down more than 1% and that is because they rely on china for their production. wuhan is in a province, the capital ofa wuhan is in a province, the capital of a province that is a massive manufacturing hub. that has been shut down. what does that mean for sales going forward? now the chinese stock markets have opened, we have seen stock markets have opened, we have seen big falls for manufacturers, but has focused minds to what is going on in china. apple very vulnerable, however it has done better today, up about 1%. that is largely because it is apple and has done well. someone like nissan and other car—makers, done well. someone like nissan and other car— makers, they are vulnerable, their earnings have been falling, people have been moving away from some of their gas guzzling ca rs away from some of their gas guzzling cars and the coronavirus is the latest issue to affect them. we

could talk about the coronavirus for longer but let's move away now. apple, big tech company, the other company reporting results, google, any company reporting results, google, a ny effects company reporting results, google, any effects of the coronavirus expected on google's profit performance? one doesn't expect so because it is a largely virtual business. the fact that it is online will protect it from coronavirus however it might start to fall behind some of its peers. largely because it doesn't sell anything, it hasn't really diversified as much as say amazon house, apple have, microsoft even. it will be interesting to see how they will perform without their ceos, they stood down, they have a new ceo so that will be interesting to watch. their share prices are at the $50 mark. it is probably protected from the coronavirus, may not be

protected from the lack of diversification in the ducts it offers. interesting. thank you. and thatis offers. interesting. thank you. and that is it. a quick look at the markets. 100 share index, a loss of half of the game. the dow, up a reasonable amount. quite a big fall for the oil price partly because of the coronavirus and the dampening effect that it is expected to have on world trade. oil down, very chunky 3%. the world war one film, 1917, was the big winner at the baftas last night, taking seven prizes in total. but the biggest talking point wasn't who picked up the awards but the lack of diversity amongst the nominees. all 20 acting nominees were white, and no female directors were put forward for the seventh consecutive year. joaquin phoenix was praised for using his acceptance speech to call for change. colin paterson watched the ceremony.

his report contains flash photography. applause. and the bafta goes to...1917. cheering. the world war i epic 1917 dominated the baftas, winning seven including best director for sir sam mendes and the big one, best film. thank you, bafta, for giving us a really wonderful night. thank you very, very much. and thank you for all the people who've gone to see this movie in the cinemas. it's still on. laughter. much had been made of the fact that 20 out of 20 acting nominees at the baftas were white and the bafta president for the last decade, prince william, shared his frustration from the stage. diversity in the sector and in the awards process. that simply cannot be right in this day and age. it was a theme whichjoaquin phoenix

had spoken about when accepting his and perpetuate and benefit from a system of repression to be the ones that dismantle it, so that's on us. applause and cheering. when it came to best actress, what's been dubbed the "reneesance" continues. renee zellweger winning her first bafta in 16 years forjudy. ms garland, london town, which you have always loved so much, still loves you back. the acceptance speech which got the biggest laughs was brad pitt's for best supporting actor. despite him not being there. leaving his co—star margot robbie to read it out. "hey, britain. "heard you just became single. "welcome to the club." laughter. while the most emotional was michael ward's. the actor from blue story won the rising star award, voted for by the public. thank you to my dad because i know you're watching down on me.

guiding and protecting me on thisjourney. i want to say thank you to my mum for believing in me and sacrificing everything for all of us to be here. you're a bafta winner. man, it's mad, right? i can't believe it. i know my energy‘s changed, right? i'm sure you can tell. i'm happy. the biggest loser of the night, the irishman. nominated ten times, it won nothing. from the cast, two old—time movie legends had flown over especially. what is the moment like where you film a scene with robert de niro? well, if we can find him. you know. the irishman, we were able to have some nice scenes. i was very happy to be able to do those. finally. i won for godfather part two? yeah! sorry to break the news to you! oh, my god. i thought i won for serpico! next up, on sunday, the oscars. and a word of warning for 1917. the last five films to win at the baftas have all been beaten

at the biggest awards of them all. last man standing. colin patterson, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. let's just show you the skies over london which personifies calm, placid, tranquillity, peace and serenity. that is the outside of the bbc. if only you knew. let's get the weather. hello there. it has been a breezy sort of day. plenty of sunshine around mind you, but we have had areas of rain also. this front bringing rain towards the channel, some of it quite heavy and persistent, and a big story through monday into tuesday is this area of low pressure pushing into the north of the uk, which will bring a swathe of gales, severe gales and plenty of heavy and blustery showers. for the end of the afternoon, we look at these sorts of temperatures, may be just double figures across the south—east. we lose that heavy rain from the channel, away from the channel islands as we move through the evening period. lengthy clear spells for the midlands, southwards, but further north it turns windier

and windier and we will see lots of blustery showers moving through. and windier and we will see lots gusts 50—60 mph northern ireland, northern england, in excess of 70 mph across the north and west of scotland. that will drive in some pretty heavy showers with drifting snow over the mountains. the combination of the severe gales and the wintry showers over the higher ground could lead to some disruption later today, through the evening and overnight. it stays very windy across the northern half of the country as we move through the early hours. the strongest winds transferring towards the north and east of scotland. temperature wise, largely frost free for most because of the strength of the winds and we will continue with those heavy showers across the northern half of the country. i pressure slowly trying to topple in on tuesday but we have still got to contend with this area of low pressure which will bring us a very windy start pretty much right across the country, but especially so across northern and eastern areas, gusts 40—50 mph, plenty of squally showers as well. again these will be wintry over

the high ground of scotland. gradually though showers will tend to ease down through the afternoon, also easing away from the cheshire gap and we will see increasing amounts of sunshine. also the winds will start to turn lighter, particular towards the south—west and those temperatures ranging from 8—10d. high pressure topples in around the middle part of the week, that will bring lighter winds, more settled conditions with increasing amounts of sunshine but we will also see the return of some colder weather. wednesday will start on a cold and frosty note for many of us and there will be some mist and fog patches which could be dense and problematic. wednesday and thursday look pretty similar, chilly days with chilly starts and we will start to see a change at the end of the week. milder and windier weather moving in off the atlantic.

today at five: the government plans to tighten terror legislation following an attack on shoppers in south london. two people were stabbed in streatham by 20—year—old sudesh amman, who'd been in prison for terror offences and was released on licence about a week ago. he was shot dead at the scene by armed police. the prime minister said it was time to end the system of automatic early release. the anomaly we need to clear up is the process by which some people are still coming out under automatic early release without any kind of scrutiny or parole system. we'll have the latest on that developing story in the next hour. the other main stories on bbc news at 5: a new 1000—bed hospital opens in wuhan for corona virus patients.
