good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: growing anger in china as authorities forcibly detain people suspected of having the coronavirus. thousands of passengers confined to their cabins onboard the diamond princess. more than 60 people are infected with the virus. six senior conservative mps try to pressure borisjohnson into rethinking huawei's involvement in the uk's sg telecom networks. good morning. we have two huge home nations clashes in the six nations coming up, including rugby's oldest trophy, the calcutta cup, it's scotland against england at murrayfield.

good morning. the weather is likely causing disruption over the weekend as storm tube is approaching. strong winds today in scotland and northern ireland —— storm keebra. destructive winds, large rain around the coast and heavy rain —— large swells. more details later. it's saturday the 8th of february. our top story: authorities in china have been forcibly rounding—up people suspected of having the coronavirus. as other countries try to control the spread, a british honeymooner is among more than 60 people who have tested positive for the virus on board a cruise ship quarantined off the coast of japan. greg mckenzie reports. as more and more as more and more cases as more and more cases of coronavirus are being reported, these unverified videos show chinese authorities at work. house to house searches, rounding up the sick. it

all adding to a growing sense of fear and all adding to a growing sense of fearand dread. a child says, "i don't want to be taken away like that". there is also anger after the death of doctor li wenliang, who was one of doctor li wenliang, who was one of the first to spot signs of this new virus. he tried to warn people about his online posts were censored by the chinese government. he died after contracting the virus while treating patients in wuhan, the city in hubei province at the epicentre of the outbreak stop in hong kong, a mandatorily two—week quarantine has been ordered for anyone arriving from mainland china. visitors are being told to isolate themselves in hotel rooms or go to government run centres while returning hong kong residents have

been ordered to stay inside their homes. but the whole idea is really for this person to stay—at—home and not to go out in case they carry any virus, it will not be transmitted to the rest of the community. there have been more than 31,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in mainland china, with more than 716 deaths. 0utside china, at least 270 cases have been confirmed in at least 25 countries. there are three confirmed cases in the uk. a third patient caught coronavirus at a business conference in singapore. he's currently being treated at st thomas‘ hospital in singapore. he‘s currently being treated at st thomas‘ hospital in central london. the two other uk cases are being treated at the royal big courier infirmary infectious diseases centre in newcastle. just

off the coast of japan, 61 people, including one british national, have tested positive for the virus on a cruise ship. alan steele from wolverhampton, who was on his honeymoon with his wife, wendy, is among those to be taken away for hospital treatment. 41 additional passengers have been found positive, tested for the coronavirus, one of whom is a friend of ours on honeymoon who has been... he was going to be split from his wife on honeymoon. he‘s going to be taken to a medical facility and she will have to remain on board. tomorrow, at least 150 british citizens are expected to arrive back in the uk on the final repatriations light coming in from wuhan. they‘ll be taken to a training and conference venue on be taken to a training and conference venue on the outskirts of milton keynes. the foreign office is

advising all british nationals who are in china to leave the country if they can to reduce the risk of infection. greg mckenzie, bbc news. pressure is mounting on the prime minister over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms giant huawei to be involved in uk‘s 5g network. four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps asking those with concerns to speak up. yesterday the us vice—president mike pence described the decision to include huawei in the network as disappointing. the government insists the move followed a rigorous review. voters in ireland go to the polls today in a general election, the first one ever held there on a saturday. prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations and to make it easierfor students and those working away from home to vote. residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. more than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday,

that‘s more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. the home office said that five inflatable boats had been stopped. a third of board members in the uk‘s top 100 companies are women, according to the department for business. that‘s up by more than 10% compared to a decade ago. the business secretary andrea leadsom says the target has been reached ahead of schedule, but more still needs to be done. business correspondent katy austin reports. my my name is francesca st thomas‘ and i sit on the boards of several companies, including air france, fnc investment trust. even with francesca‘s background as a successful business leader, getting her those boardroom position is tough. it‘s an area where men still often hugely outnumber women. change is painful. there‘s a huge value attributed to chemistry on the

board, and of course, chemistry, you have mainly with people like you. she says boards who don‘t have enough women are putting themselves ata enough women are putting themselves at a disadvantage. basically it doesn‘t reflect your customer base, it doesn‘t affect the society at large, it doesn‘t reflect your staff. the government has backed voluntary targets to increase the representation of women on the boards of the biggest listed companies in the country to 33%, or one in three, by the end of this year. it‘s february and that target has now been achieved for the top 100 companies not yet for the next 250, and it‘s farfrom job done. 100 companies not yet for the next 250, and it's far from job doneli think 33% is a very good start, but as we can see, and we know there are still many issues in the workplace to address, and we have a lot farther to go before we see really good gender balance in the leadership of business. francesca welcomes the latest boardroom target being hit, but she

worries getting enough women at the top table remains a long way off. katy austin, bbc news. the chinese authorities are undertaking forcibly detaining people who they suspect of having the coronavirus. china correspondent stephen mcdonelljoins us from beijing. we have seen some of those images this morning and this seems like a different approach from the authorities, tell us a little more. they are getting more desperate in terms of looking for ways to slow the spread of the virus, as the numbers go up of the dead and of the infected. more strict provisions are being called for. people will note when the death toll goes past sars, this is the 2003 outbreak, it will bea this is the 2003 outbreak, it will be a kind of symbolic moment. in the

early stages, we just couldn‘t have imagined it would have gone past this, and yet we are still in the early months of the coronavirus outbreak. sars took seven months to pass 700 deaths. well, now, it‘s only taken a couple of months for this virus to reach that stage. there‘s a lot of debate as to whether or not the rate at which people are dying compared to becoming ill is as bad as sars, but either way, it doesn‘t matter because if so many people, many tens of thousands of people, are contracting this coronavirus, then i think... it doesn‘t sort of matter statistically whether as many people asa statistically whether as many people as a proportion of those who have this virus die or not. i should add that the news has come in today that an american and japanese citizen are

now amongst the dead. there was a japanese man who was sent to hospital with the coronavirus, contracted pneumonia, and has died. according to the us embassy, a us citizen who was in wuhan, the city where the outbreak started, has also died. it will become more of a global problem as the disease spreads. scientists are worried that chinese officials are only picking up chinese officials are only picking up some... potentially a 10th of those infected. if that‘s the case, there are estimates of 50,000 more people per day just in there are estimates of 50,000 more people per dayjust in hubei province are becoming infected. so we are a long way from this all being sorted out, a long way from it plateauing, it seems. stephen, just a thought in connection with those pictures we we re connection with those pictures we were showing a moment ago, the authorities coming in and taking them from their homes, it appears. the whole principle of containment,

it‘s all about people agreeing to do what the authorities asked them to do. if you like, self containment. you are yourself staying... i saw your charging across your sofa. you‘re in the same situation, it is all about people sticking to the rules and staying where they said they would. it does, but in various places they are making it more strict than the voluntary provision. for example, in hong kong, there are threats of prison time for people that don‘t stick to that quarantine. anybody from that city returning to anywhere in mainland china from hong kong now has to go into quarantine at home. foreigners have to go into at home. foreigners have to go into a hotel or a special government run facility. like i say, they are threatening prison terms for people who break that quarantine. 0n the one hand, i think most people are more than happy to go along with this because they also want to stop this because they also want to stop

this virus emergency from spreading in various cities in china. more and more strict provisions are being put in place to make sure people do in fa ct in place to make sure people do in fact stick to them. stephen, i have to ask, because people will ask, the‘s name and is the cat keeping usain in the circumstances you are in? two cats in fact, one koala and one kangaroo, as inan or living in beijing! and they are kind of keeping me relatively sane —— as i‘m an aussie. i have two days to go until liberation and then i can get out! yes! good to talk to you, stephen, thanks very much. i like their names, koala and kangaroo, great! facebook‘s social media accounts were hacked overnight by activists claiming they want to show flaws in cyber security. a group which calls itself 0ur mine targeted the firm‘s twitter and instagram feeds and posted messages saying that even facebook is hackable.

the accounts have now been restored. it follows a similar attack on teams in america‘s national football league last month. a record high temperature has been logged on the continent of antarctica. a reading of 18.3 degrees celsius beat the previous record by almost a degree. antarctica‘s peninsula, the area that points towards south america, is one of the fastest warming places on earth, heating by almost three degrees over the past 50 years. 6:13am is the time. let‘s take a look at today‘s front pages. the times reports that the prime minister borisjohnson will use a new law to "clip the wings" of nhs chiefs as he attempts to exert more control over the health service. the picture is a border force patrol picking up migrants in dover yesterday, it mentioned more than 100 were intercepted in the channel, a record, 102. "big bank booking" — that‘s how the daily mail describes

the duke and duchess of sussex‘s first private appearance since stepping back as senior royals. the couple attended an event held by the investment bankjpmorgan in miami. like many papers this morning, the daily record is leading on phillip schofield‘s announcement that he‘s gay. the record quotes the tv star‘s mum, who says she "couldn‘t be more proud of him". and online, the new york times says the death of the chinese doctor li wenliang, whose warnings about the coronavirus were silenced, has become what the paper calls "a potent symbol of beijing‘s failures". here‘s sarah keith—lucas with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning. the picture behind you, should i assume this is a warning of what could happen? you could indeed. we are likely to see scenes like this through the course of the weekend. we have got storm shower or approaching. that will bring some disruptive weather. the winds will be picking up today but it is tomorrow we will see the really

strong winds across the country. we have an amber warning in force from the met office for severe gales in the met office for severe gales in the south—east of england. but wherever you are you will be experiencing some pretty disrupt the weather. power cuts are possible, large waves around the coast, heavy rain and very strong winds. the satellite image shows storm shower 01’ satellite image shows storm shower or out in the atlantic. it has brought severe weather to the north—east. it is pushing towards the shores. it has brought rain overnight, lingering towards the south—east of the moment. that should clear over the next couple of hours. quite a lot of dry weather out there today with sunshine, gales developing across northern ireland and scotland later today, the arrival heavy rain later on. further east across scotland and for much of england and wales dry weather, it will turn quite breezy, reasonably mild, temperatures 5—11 out there today. it is later this afternoon into the evening that we see when strengthening further. 60—70 mile—per—hour dusts across northern ireland and scotland. heavy rain working south—east was across the

uk. as storm shower or arrives during the early hours of sunday morning. the winds will be really strong. a mild start your sunday morning. we are going to be seeing the effects of the strong winds and heavy rain. you can see lots of isobars as the store moves from west to east. this cold front is where we will see some of the strongest winds and heaviest rain. gusts of wind tomorrow, many seeing 60—70 mph even inland. around coasts and inland, 70 to 80 mph. we start off across the northern half of the uk. when our mounting snowfall scotland and northern ireland, that should clear to leave sunshine and showers through the day tomorrow full up that will bring hail and thunder and very strong winds. through the central belts we could see gusts up to 80 mph. further south across the uk we have spells of heavy rain working slowly south—east words. 0n

this cold front, this line of showers through the afternoon across england and wales that is where we will see the strongest winds. really heavy showers, hail and thunder possible. disruptive weather down to storm ciara, right across the uk. severe gales tomorrow. transport likely to be disrupted and the potential for power cuts as well. it is not moving out of the way in a hurry. looking towards monday and tuesday we have a deep area of low pressure bringing windy conditions, not as windy on monday and tuesday compared to sunday. plenty more showers, snow showers in the north, particularly over higher ground. what‘s going on in the forecast over the next few days. is it pretty established our storm ciara is going to move or will it be changeable? you say keep in touch with the local as well as national updates from the met office. we have been forecasting storm ciara for several days now. all the computer models are in good agreement it will move across the

uk. where we see the strongest of the winds, that is questionable. probably around the coasts and hills. big large waves as well if you are close to the coast. we are fairly certain, it has been well for custom warnings have been out for several days. but do keep in touch with the latest forecast and local radio stations will tell you of disruption in yourarea. in your area. ok, thank you very much. it‘s time now for the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week‘s cinema releases is mark kermode. so, mark, what do we have this week? exciting week. we have birds of prey, which is the new harley quinn film.

we have dolittle, he can talk to the animals, this time with a welsh accent. and parasite, the international hit from bong joon—ho. quite a mixture. it really is. birds of prey and the fantabulous emancipation of harley quinn. it follows up on suicide squad, which was a complete mess, and it is much better than its predecessor. margot robbie steps out on her own and at the beginning, she is broken up withjoker and she blows up the chemical plant in which they sealed their love. she is newly employed by a slimeball played by ewan mcgregor and she finds herself in a centre of a roller—coaster ride of a plot which involves a stolen diamond, a teenage thief, and a growing band

of lethal women who have become targets. here is a clip. they're all here for me... ..aren't they? no. they‘re not? no, they're not. do you know what that means? that means he's notjust after the kid any more, he's after all of us. he's sure as hell after me, ijust robbed him. you just betrayed him. you just killed his bff and you're dumb enough to be building a case against him. so, unless we all want to die very unpleasant deaths, we're going to have to work together. 0k. yeah, 0k. sure... the best thing about this is, firstly, it does have a genuinely entertaining anarchic air. apparently when margot robbie was first talking about it, she said she wanted it to be like an r—rated girl gang movie and that‘s the vibe it has.

it‘s very physical and has a sense of controlled chaos, which i really like. directed by independent movie director, cathy yan, an edgy sensibility. the location, you can see here, it looks like a fairground ride in which there‘s been an explosion of a candy floss maker. it barrels along, it is funny and the characters are well drawn and well defined. it is easy to get this wrong. in other hands, this could have turned into batman and robin, which was just a dress up pantomime mess of a movie, but this is actually as much fun watching the film as it is looking at the poster and watching the trailer. and i was really pleasantly surprised because i had gone in thinking, i hope this is good but i expect it won‘t be and it was. it was much but i had any right to expect. it‘s fun? it‘s good fun and it genuinely has a kind of sense of chaos at the heart of it, which is what you need

for the character of harley quinn and they pull that off rather well. 0k. unfortunately, the same cannot be said of dolittle. i felt that coming! the latest screen incarnation of dr dolittle, he can talk to the animals. partly of the problem with this is robert downeer now doing dolittle has decided to do the most bizarre welsh accent for the central character. apparently, he discovered some juridical pagan welsh figure upon whom he decided to base the character. it‘s not a welsh accent the likes of which i‘ve ever heard before. if you remember russell crowe‘s roving accent when he was doing robin hood, it makes that look like the most precise accent you‘ve ever heard. it looks like the whole film appears to have been redubbed, this is the better version. we also know they did three weeks of re—shoots after the first version of the film wasn‘t deemed to be funny enough, this is the version of the film that‘s had three weeks of making it funnier?!

itjust lies there in the cinema like a dead fish. it‘s ugly, it‘s badly written, it‘s played by a cast of characters all of whom who should have far better things to do than be in this mess of a movie. as somebody pointed out to me, they said the rex harrison flopped when it first came out. but this isn‘t the rex harrison, isn‘t it? i think it‘s on course to, what is the phrase, "underperform" at the box office. underperform! i do wish you would say what you really thought! shall we talk about parasite? we both loved it. immediately we have seen it and we need to be careful about what we say about it. yes, we are doing no plot spoilers. the less you know about it, the better it is. a new movie by bong joon—ho come up for several awards and we would have seen it at the baftas and it will feature at the oscars. it isa it is a tale of two families. the park family, who live in this unbelievably

angular, modern and classy bright lit built—in, high above seoul. and the otherfamily, the kims, living this hand to mouth existence in this semi—basement literally in the very bottom of the hill down which all the rubbish falls. they are weirdly a mirrored family but we first meet the family in the semi—basementjust attempting to get by. here‘s the clip.

so they‘re living almost underground and the son gets a job working in the house on the hill and the two families meet and these kind of mirror images meet. that is all you want to say about the plot. people have talked about it being like hitchcockian but it is almost shakespearian because it combines tragedy, mystery, metaphysics, and drama. there are moments that have the melancholy heart—tugging power of a ghost story and moments which are almost slapstick. yes. and moments which make you cast with the revelation of the plot twist. it is designed beautifully. i mean, the storytelling is so visual. even if you watch this without the subtitles, you could understand the story

from the way in which the camera moves from different locations. the music, which really brilliantly captures all these different shifting tones — it starts with this sombre piano piece orchestral piece and then there is a weird bit which is correct vocals and a musical saw, these elements that should be fighting somehow come together in this perfectly harmonious... i‘ve seen this four times now! oh wow! every time i see it, i notice things that i haven‘t seen before and i love it. i think it is as near perfect as any film i‘ve seen in the last decade, i want to see it again. bong has now prepared a black and white version which played at rotterdam and hopefully it will play here. the most important thing to say, go see it without reading or hearing any more about it. don‘t let anybody spoil the plot or anybody say to you, there‘s this brilliant bit when... if they do, run away! yes. did you love it? i did not see that but coming that we want to talk about and i thought it was so clever! did you like the film? i loved it.

i‘m not good with violence, there are a couple of moments when i‘m a bit like that, but on balance, i loved it and i thought it had masses to say about class and money and was beautifully shot. and if you know bong‘s back catalogue. snowpiercer, obviously but come! memories, he is good at depicting stratified social groups. i also think the cast, across the board, an ensemble cast, this is what you need an award for best ensemble cast, you can‘t pick out individual performances. it is an ensemble cast and it is like watching a swiss watch work. i love this film. i love this film, i think it is fantastic and everybody should see it. best out — another film you like as well? david copperfield. i am more keen than you are but the cast... i enjoyed it and great ensemble cast. fantastic ensemble cast. and a modern adaptation a classic text that found things in it that

i hadn‘t seen in previous adaptations. absolutely loved it pieces. dvd is a great one to watch at home. i think it‘s terrific. judy. renee zellweger is storming the awards at the moment. i am slightly more ambivalent about this meant some people, but i think she looks like a dead cert lead contender at the oscars. she was at the baftas. my favourite part of this film is the fans who meet her. and it‘s through their eyes that you actually see the magic ofjudy garland. i lovejudy garland and i was more convinced by the fans‘ reaction. were you? i was iwasa i was a little bit. that‘s just me. i think she is terrific. i found it incredibly sad, beautiful and sad in equal measure. yeah. flawed. i‘ve entered this on a dull note. that is sad. but parasite is great! go and see parasite! it is a great film, see it. enjoy your cinema going, see you next time, goodbye.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt.

good morning, here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news: video footage has emerged from china which appears to show officials forcibly rounding up people suspected of having the coronavirus. multiple unverified videos, like this one, show the so—called ‘quarantine squads‘ at work. more than 700 people have now died as a result of the virus, with more than 311,000 infected. pressure is mounting on the prime minister over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms giant huawei to be involved in uk‘s 5g network. four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps asking those with concerns to speak up. yesterday the us vice—president mike pence described the decision to include huawei in the network as disappointing. the government insists the move followed a rigorous review. voters in ireland go to the polls today in a general election, the first one ever held there on a saturday. prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations

and to make it easierfor students and those working away from home to vote. residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. more than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday, that‘s more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. the home office said that five inflatable boats had been stopped. fitness guru joe wicks will be reading the cbeebies bedtime story on valentine‘s day, it‘s been announced. the father—of—two, known as the body coach, will read love monster and the perfect present by rachel bright. he follows in the footsteps of stars including dolly parton, orlando bloom and sir eltonjohn to read a story on the channel. the names... the picture isn‘t helping very much but the names who have read stories on cbeebies are amazing! i remember a

have read stories on cbeebies are amazing! i remembera while have read stories on cbeebies are amazing! i remember a while ago i interviewed robbie williams and immediately after the interview he was going to do the christmas story that he was going to read, and he was so excited. he was really up for it. people get really excited about it. people get really excited about it. a great idea. it is. bedtime story, but a valentine‘s day for little kids? yeah... i don't understand the valentine‘s day bit but the notion of those big names reading stories, it is lovely!m would be fun to do. quite a soothing voice! i don't want to say you would put me to sleep, charlie... you just did say that! i'm with you, he has a very, very good voice for that. take us away from the calm and give us a bit of action, give us a storm, give us something coming our way, what‘s happening? storm ciara is going to hit the six nations today but what we are talking about is all the home nations in action against each other. this is a huge day, doesn't happen very often like this.

scotland against england and then wales against ireland. wales are the reigning champions but they haven't won in dublin since 2012. the match against england and scotland has got against england and scotland has got a bit spicy over the recent week. it‘s the oldest contest in rugby, the calcutta cup, and today the venue is murrayfield in edinburgh. we‘ve had the usual war of words between the two camps, and england boss eddiejones is well known for getting involved. more than that, as he told sonja mclaughlan, he believes it‘s his duty. i think as a head coach, you‘ve got a responsibility... like, it‘s easy not to say anything. sure. i understand. but i think you've got a responsibility to create the theatre of the game, to paint a picture of how you want your players to play, and sometimes paint a picture to the opposition. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn‘t. scotland have held the trophy

for the past two years after beating england at murrayfield in 2018 and coming away from twickenham with a draw last year, but the playersjust try to keep out of the pre—match mind games. my myjob is to concentrate on making sure that i‘m getting my performance spot on, but also making sure that the team are switched on and we‘re here the right reasons. we‘re not listening to what everybody else has got to say, we are concentrating on what happens within the four walls of our changing room and making sure we‘re focused and for what‘s coming our way. before that game kicks—off this evening, ireland host reigning champions wales in dublin. after winning their opening games last weekend, the grand slam is still on for both sides, but ireland know that they‘ll have to improve on their performance last weekend when theyjust about got over the line against scotland. it's it‘s been a trademark of the irish tea m it‘s been a trademark of the irish team over the last few years, to be physically dominant, and i thought last week we had in part, probably

won‘t as consistent as we usually are in that aspect of the game. look, we know we‘re going to have to step it up a little bit this week and find that consistency so we don‘t let teams off the hook, and just keep putting pressure on in terms of dominance. they're a very, very physical team and if you let them get on the front foot, they're very, very dangerous so foot, they're very, very dangerous so we've got to be very careful about the areas we play in and make sure that we match that physicality that's obviously going to be there. we no, it's not an easy place to go, the record speaks for itself there, so the record speaks for itself there, so it's going to be a big challenge but we certainly have to front up physically and make sure we play at the right ends of the field. wales and ireland have something in common matt comyn. —— something in common. both side‘s have a new head coach, we heard from wayne pivac there, let‘s look now at ireland‘s andy farrell, father of england

captain 0wen farrell, who has the top job for the first time in his career. austin halewood went to meet some of his former colleagues, to see what makes him special. commentator: and andy farrell's ireland are up and running. the start all coaches dream of, those match, those when. 2019 was a year to forget for irish rugby, but now andy farrell is the man tasked with taking them back to the very top. but andy farrell‘s journey back top. but andy farrell‘s journey back to dublin and lansdowne road started across the irish sea here in wigan at 0rrell st james‘ park is a across the irish sea here in wigan at 0rrell stjames‘ park is a junior playing rugby league. he came down, did one training session and then we played a game against another local team where he scored two tries and kicked about six goals, including one near enough of the touchline. he was ten. he was doing things at 11 or 12 that other kids couldn‘t do at 15 or 16. and from a young prospect, farrell became a rugby league legend at wigan warriors. after making his debut at 16, he went on to win six

championships and four challenge cups with his hometown club. he even captained great britain at 21. he was always trying to improve eve ryo ne he was always trying to improve everyone and himself, he hated losing but he was always a serious person when he was talking about by person when he was talking about rugby league and how to improve the team. likei rugby league and how to improve the team. like i said, he was really strong... had a strong voice but i think his biggest asset was his ability to get people up to play in the big games as we did. from age—group rugby to the big games as we did. from age-group rugby to captaining the big games as we did. from age—group rugby to captaining his country, farrell has always been a winner and now a whole new nation will be desperate for him to do it all over again. austin halewood, bbc news. a great day of rugby to look forward to. commentary on ireland against wales is on radio5 live. kick off at 2:15pm, with scotland v england live on bbc1 and the bbc sport website. that‘s at 4:45pm. saracens have escaped with a fine after admitting they fielded an inelgible player in the champions cup, they could have been

given a points deduction, which would have sent them out of the competition. they are out of the premiership rugby cup, though, after losing 28—7 to sale sharks in the semi—finals. sale scored three quick—fire tries in the first half to do the damage. they‘ll play harlequins in next month‘s final. israel folau won‘t be making his super league debut for catalans dragons against wakefield tomorrow, not because of the controversy surrounding his signing, but because he‘s not match—ready. last night, castleford beat wigan 16—12 and danny houghton marked his 350th appearance for hull fc with a try, as they won the derby against hull kr by 25—16. great britain have a job on their hands to reach the fed cup finals. they 2—0 down to slovakia in bratislava after heather watson lost the opening singles, and harriet dart saved five match points before she was beaten in a really tight three—setter by viktoria kuzmova.

it‘s a best—of—five tie, so britain need to win both reverse singles and the doubles today, to go through, and you can watch it on the bbc sport website and app. bristol city missed the chance to go third in the championship after losing 3—1 to birmingham city. bristol city actually took the lead afterjust a0 seconds, when 16 year—old jud bellingham‘s cross resulted in an own goal. but birmingham recovered, lukas jutkiewicz wrapping up victory in injury time. england‘s cricketers have to win the final one—day international against south africa tomorrow to avoid a series defeat after the second match in durban had to be abandonded due to persistent rain. it had already already been reduced to 26 overs a side and south africa were 71—2 when it was called off. england suffered a heavy defeat in the opening game.

busy day ahead, we will talk more about the rugby later, we will be live in murrayfield, edinburgh, and the aviva er stadium in dublin. and we‘ll see how the weather goes as well. i've been planning my day. how is it going to go? finish, lunch, friend, get home in time, got my spot on the sofa, big tv. a little something. i like it, sounds very similarto mine. something. i like it, sounds very similar to mine. charlie?” something. i like it, sounds very similar to mine. charlie? i haven't made a plan yet but i know we will keep an eye on the weather in relation to however might affect things. sarah will keep an eye out for that. what is storm ciara going to do? see you later. earlier this week we talked to members of chinese communities in north—west england and they told us about some of the discrimination they‘ve been facing because people are linking them to the coronavirus. that story isn‘t unique and other

chinese communities in the uk 5000 miles away from the outbreak are still facing fear and suspicion. fiona lamdin has been to bristol to find out more. this supermarket in the centre of bristol has been serving the chinese community here for four decades, but its owners say since the outbreak of the coronavirus business has been slow. fewer people, take a ways are quieter, so they‘re not coming out to buy their goods for their restau ra nts a nd to buy their goods for their restaurants and things. so it‘s definitely more quiet than usual. 0ne definitely more quiet than usual. one of their loyal customers is nizang. hand his family have lived in bristol for 1h years. he hasn‘t been back to china for four. our main concern isn‘t the virus itself, it‘s how we‘ve been treated. discrimination against the whole asian is my main concern. i have got two children and their both at school age, and they‘ve been reported at their school. some asian children have been called

coronavirus lady, "you should go back to your country". i've got core agencies and friends and they've been showing their experiences how people are not wanting to sit next to them on public transport, packed train, but there are gaps on either side of them and people see them pulling up their collars and stuff like that. it's... people shouldn't feel ostracised just because they look east asian cup. there are 4000 chinese living in bristol. 200 go to chinese living in bristol. 200 go to chinese church here. but as of last sunday, they‘re encouraging vulnerable worshippers to stay—at—home and join in online. the younger kids and probably the elderly, they are very prone to getting the virus as well, so on the precaution side, we want them to be able to enjoy the service in a safe environment. was there a drop in congregation? there was a drop in

number but still around two—thirds of the congregation came. it's of the congregation came. it‘s not just in of the congregation came. it‘s notjust in bristol. in yorkshire, students have reported being singled out for abuse. 0ne community worker in sheffield says she‘s been contacted by many students. i had students. ihada students. i had a report sent to me on thursday evening about a girl walking down west street wearing a mask that was insulted, nudged and comments made to her about why she was wearing a mask. and attractions across cumbria that rely on tourism have struggled since the outbreak. this spa in the lake district is suffering. normally filled with chinese visitors, many of the groups have cancelled. there are cancellations or some groups that aren‘t materialising. there are actually still groups from china being booked in, but further into the year. nobody as far as i know is aware of when the

coronavirus will be contained. the coronavirus will be contained. the coronavirus has affected thousands, closed borders and put parts of china in lockdown. 5000 miles away in the uk, communities are feeling the effects. fiona lamdin, bbc news. 0ne one of our lead stories this morning is the latest situation in china. we are seeing people being forced out of their homes suspected of having the virus. will have more on that with our correspondent in china later this morning. we were talking about the rugby earlier. people will be thinking about how the weather will affect the games, but importantly, people need to be careful this weekend, don‘t they? that‘s right, good morning to you. storm ciara is very much on the way. it could turn out to be one of the worst times we have seen in about seven worst times we have seen in about seve n yea rs worst times we have seen in about seven years in terms of the strength

of the wind and how far south those are strong winds are going to be. we have got an amber warning that has been issued by the met office for the severe gales. very strong winds, prickly across the south—east of england where we could see gusts of 80 mph. widely right across the uk we will be seeing disruptive weather through the course of the weekend. the wind is picking up today, but it is tomorrow where we will see the strongest of the wind and a fair bit of disruption as well. storm ciara is out in the atlantic, it brought severe weather to the north—east of the usa, that storm developing, driven on by really strong jet stream. as it develops, heads towards our shores, the winds will be picking up. we have had a weather front that brought a bit of rain overnight, that will clear away from the south—east of the next few hours. today, quite a lot of dry weather out there. does developing across northern ireland and scotland late in the day stop as well as some really heavy rain pushing in. perhaps no the higher highest going to scotland. for the east of scotla nd to scotland. for the east of scotland and much of england and wales, a lot of dry weather.

temperatures 5— 11 degrees. it will turn breezy today wherever you are, particularly when it was the north—west, gusts 60—70 mph for scotla nd north—west, gusts 60—70 mph for scotland and northern ireland. through the evening and overnight thatis through the evening and overnight that is where we see things turning particularly lively. storm ciara putting in from the west. a wet and windy start to sunday morning across the board. it will be mild, frost free to start the day, but you will certainly notice the strength of the wind and they will strengthen further through the day. you can see the proximity of these i showing how windy it will be, particularly strong gusty winds on this cold front as it works eastwards. and around the southern edge of the area of low pressure. these are the likely gusts of wind we will see tomorrow, widely 60—70 mph, even inland, around the hills and coast, 80 mile—per—hour gusts, even through the english channel. that is fairly unusual. we will see heavy rain and mountain snow across scotland and northern ireland. the rain clearly —— clearing kick sungshan shall throughout the day tomorrow. strong

winds, gusts about 80 mph, even through the central belt through the afternoon tomorrow. further south across the uk, we start off with heavy bus of rain. could be hail and thunder, particularly on this line here, the green colour showing the heaviest birth on the cold front. as it pushes south and east with across england and wales through the day tomorrow, bringing hail, thunder, squally gusts and winds, up to 80 mph. enough to cause severe disruption courtesy of storm ciara tomorrow. expect some disruption to transport, for instance, be trees down and power cuts are possible. storm doesn‘t clear in a hurry. have low pressure hanging on a monday and tuesday. another windy spell of weather. not quite as windy on monday and tuesday compared to sunday. it stays very unsettled with further heavy rain and some mountain snow across northern parts of the uk. lots going on with the weather over the next couple of days. there is so much going on. thank you so much.

it‘s time now for the latest technology news, with click. la, la, la, la land. it is oscars weekend, time for hollywood to give itself a pat on the back, and time for the rest of us to be reminded there is a reason why the movie industry chose southern california to live and film in. and with all of glamorous la to choose from, they put me ina box. in a warehouse. although it is the coolest box i have been in for a while because, spoiler alert, i am not really in the box! i am out here. and that‘s virtual me

and it is called portl. the box itself is real, of course, and the lights inside provide the illumination for the modified human—sized 4k lcd screen on the front. this can show pre—recorded video or live images of some loon messing about in front of a camera. what am i doing over there though? what‘s he doing? the same? oh, yeah, of course. i must say, iam impressed. i figured out all these reasons why somebody might not want to do a hologram, and i eliminated those reasons. that is why we developed this. first things first, these are not holograms. you know what i think about the term hologram. but these are the most realistic not—holograms i think i have ever seen. the key is that this part of the screen is transparent, so if the camera moves left and right you can see the background move behind the character and that really gives you a feeling that they are there

and that this is a 3d image. a small piece of reflective floor and the shadow of the actor are also captured and sent to the booth, something that really adds to the realism. # send in the clownsto... with thejoker leading the oscar pack this weekend with 11 nominations, it is not hard to see how the right kind of character inside one of these devices could have a film‘s marketing department going nuts. i‘d like to see every cardboard cut—out standee in a lobby replaced with a hologram portl. i want to go to a museum and then hologram einstein asks me a question. we could beam the next president of the united states from his or her own campaign office into all 50 states at the same time. with the ability to hear, see and interact with the audience in real—time. and david has another project on the go which is not live. pretty much exactly the opposite, in fact.

one of the most famous things about the hologram industry is bringing back the dead. digital resurrections. guys like 2pac, whitneyto...these are people who never gave their consent while they were alive but they have all become super famous holograms in death. and what we are doing is we filmed half a dozen of the world‘s most famous icons while they‘re alive, so they could do the performance that they want to do. they hold the microphone they want to, they sing the way they want to sing. it is not a body double and a cgi head, it is really them. makes it less macabre and easier for the audience to get behind. and we have stuck them on a hard drive in a cupboard somewhere. and when the time comes we can access the content and send them on tour. and, actually, that idea is where we go next. because there is currently a trend in resurrecting dead celebrities. the technology exists to put convincing cgi versions of actors into film.

and it‘s raising a lot of issues. you‘re tearing me apart! did you know that james dean only ever made three movies before his death in a car accident in 1955? did you also know that after his death his image rights have been handled by mark rosler at cmg worldwide. a boy, a kid was killed tonight! his memory, his image, his values still resonate with young people around the world, struggling to understand themselves as teenagers, and the rebel personality of james dean. so it‘s always been important for the family that future generations remember who james dean was. managing the business affairs of dead celebrities may sound unusual, but it means that their estates get royalties

from any paraphernalia that features their faces. and these days, that does notjust mean mugs. we essentially want to bring james dean back so that he is an option for storytellers and for content creators to use him for traditional film, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, spatial computing, gaming, music, branded content. and the first james dean project will see a virtual version of this screen icon co—star in a vietnam war film called finding jack. so our intention is to put together a 3d virtualjames dean using all the historical data, images and pictures and video that we have had over the course of the last 64 years. we have watched motion and facial capture technology mature over the last 15 years or so,

and it is now completely possible to capture an actor‘s performance and map their movements and expressions onto a different digital being. it has created monsters. it made robert de niro and will smith young again, and it has even allowed a film‘s production to continue after its star‘s untimely death. but the james dean project takes this idea to a different level. using a celebrity‘s likeness not because the story demands it, but because some dead celebrities are bankable. it is not like you are creating a brand—new virtual being from scratch where you have to spend ample amount of capital to create the awareness for him. people know james dean. he is an icon. but this is much more thanjust blending old existing footage into new scenes. this needs to be a completely flexible, 3d, photorealistic,

fully animatable, believable version of a person that can act in new scenes and deliver new dialogue. previous attempts at cgi actors have been mixed and i wonder whether there is a certain quality threshold that you orjames dean‘s estate has to insist on? 0ur expectations are very high. so the virtual assets that we create will evolve over time. this is not a one—time and it‘s perfect. it will evolve. so ourjames dean that we will release for this movie may be a little different than the james dean we release at a later date. but of course there is more to an actor than just their face. that is just one part of the entire performance package. unsurprisingly, some actors have themselves expressed their annoyance. sometimes it is very easy to use a digital asset to promote

what you were trying to get viewers to see, versus hiring actors to promote content. that costs additional capital. so basically you‘ve said living actors, human actors are a bit of a pain, and you would rather work with avatars? to some extent. laughs it is easy to work with deceased celebrities. 0h, jenny, you are so cute! she is said to be the most realistic robotic animal, and i can tell you she feels pretty real. that nose almost feels wet and squidgy. and these dementia patients at las vegas‘ prestige senior living facility seem pleased to meet her.

you are a good dog. she is awesome. you look real. look at those teeth. jim henson‘s creature shop is responsible for the lifelike look, feel, movements and behaviour that have been built on top of this sensor—embedded voice—controllable bot. there is a great deal of research on the benefits of live animal therapy for seniors with dementia. it helps soothe behavioural and psychological symptoms and reduces the need for certain medications. the problem is, many seniors can no longer safely care for or have a live animal around them. it's a dog! i thought it was a real dog! this is really quite a strange experience because the dog does almost feel real and sound real. and everybody seems to be feeling that. but is that right? there are people that,

despite explaining to them that it is a robot, actually still believe that it is a real dog. we‘ve looked at that from an ethical perspective, and we are very concerned about not tricking them but on the other hand, you know, if it gives them comfort, that is really the goal. they like to suspend disbelief. they like to be able to relate to it as if it is a long—lost pet that they may have known in an earlier time. i would like to have you. i would let you sleep in bed with me. and she could be solving a problem here that has already been identified. we started a while back, having dogs come into the community because we felt like the dogs were a method of helping with loneliness andto... what we found is that we have to pay just as much attention to the dogs as we do the human. she clearly did bring joy though and i can see the benefits of it being designed to sit on laps

or raised surfaces rather than creating a tripping hazard on the floor. other breeds and a cat are in development, but i was left with one real issueto... i feel really bad that we have to take her away from them. and that is it for the short cut of click in hollywood. the full version is up on iplayer and is waiting for you right now. if you would like to join us throughout the week, you know where we are, facebook, youtube, instagram and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we will see you soon.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: growing anger in china as authorities forcibly detain people suspected of having the coronavirus. thousands of passengers confined to their cabins onboard the diamond princess. more than 60 people are infected with the virus. six senior conservative mps try to pressure borisjohnson into rethinking huawei‘s involvement in the uk‘s 5g telecom networks. good morning. a huge day in the six nations coming up, all the home sides in action, including rugby‘s oldest rivalry, the calcutta cup. it‘s scotland against england at murrayfield.

good morning. the weather is likely to cause disruption through the weekend as storm ciara is approaching. we got strong winds today across scotland and northern ireland, widely across the uk, disruptive winds tomorrow and large waves around the coast and heavy rainfall too. i‘ll have all your details through the programme. it‘s saturday the 8th of february. our top story: authorities in china have been forcibly rounding up people suspected of having the coronavirus. as other countries try to control the spread, a british honeymooner is among more than 60 people who have tested positive for the virus on board a cruise ship quarantined off the coast of japan. greg mckenzie reports. as more and more cases of coronavirus are being reported, these unverified videos show chinese authorities at work. house—to—house searches, rounding up the sick.

it‘s all adding to a growing sense of fear and dread. a child says, "i don‘t want to be taken away like that." in hong kong, a mandatory two week quarantine has been ordered for anyone arriving from mainland china. visitors are being told to isolate themselves in hotel rooms or go to government run centres, while returning hong kong residents have been ordered to stay inside their homes. but the whole idea is really for this person to stay at home and not to go out in case they carry any virus, it will not be transmitted to the rest of the community. there have been more than 31,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in mainland china, with more than 716 deaths.

0utside china, at least 270 cases have been confirmed in at least 25 countries. there are three confirmed cases in the uk. a third patient caught coronavirus at a business conference in singapore. he‘s currently being treated at st thomas‘ hospital in central london. the two other uk cases are being treated at the royal victoria infirmary infectious diseases centre in newcastle. just off the coast of japan, 61 people, including one british national, have tested positive for the virus on a cruise ship. alan steele from wolverhampton, who was on his honeymoon with his wife, wendy, is among those to be taken away for hospital treatment. tomorrow, at least 150 british citizens are expected to arrive back

in the uk on the final repatriation flight coming in from wuhan. they‘ll be taken to a training and conference venue on the outskirts of milton keynes. the foreign office is advising all british nationals who are in china to leave the country if they can to reduce the risk of infection. greg mckenzie, bbc news. pressure is mounting on the prime minister borisjohnson over his decision to allow the chinese telecomms firm huawei to be involved in uk‘s 5g network. fourformer cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps, asking those with concerns to speak out. let‘s get more on this from our political correspondent matt cole, who is in our london newsroom. good morning, matt. give us a sense of who these people are and why it matters. high there, charlie. yes, ever since the government had to make this decision on which vendors to help build the next stage of the mobile network, the 5g network,

there had been concerns about huawei being one of those providers. it is close to the chinese government and that‘s caused concern repeatedly in parliament, people speaking about not letting this dragon nest within our mobile system. huawei has said its founder would rather shutdown the company than let china get involved in this network to spy on britain, but these are mps, four former cabinet ministers, plus the chair of the defence select, tobias ellwood, and another mp, bob seely, they‘ve written this letter saying they‘ve written this letter saying they want other mp5, if they have concerns, join them in looking for solutions to alternative providers to huawei. at the very list they wa nt to huawei. at the very list they want a sunset clause, a tapering off of the level of involvement of huawei in the mobile network. the government has said they will restrict huawei to only having 35% involvement and it won‘t be allowed at the very core of the mobile

system, only the periphery, if you like. but these mps say they only wa nt to like. but these mps say they only want to trusted lenders. they point to others like ericsson and nokia, who have signed contracts in france, saying they should be the vendors people should be looking at, or lenders like them. they are concerned, they want mps to join them in expressing this concern and this is after we heard from us vice president mike pence, saying he is profoundly disappointed that the uk government has decided to go ahead with the huawei involvement and he said it would have to be a question of wait and see as to weather this would impact a potential trade deal post—brexit with the uk. matt, for the moment, thank you. voters in ireland go to the polls today in a general election, the first one ever held there on a saturday. prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations, and to make it easierfor students and those working away from home to vote. residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. more than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally

by crossing the channel yesterday, that‘s more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. the home office said that five inflatable boats had been stopped. a third of board members in the uk‘s top 100 companies are women, according to the department for business. that‘s up by more than 10% compared to a decade ago. the business secretary andrea leadsom says the target has been reached ahead of schedule, but more still needs to be done. our business correspondent, katy austin, reports. my name is francesca ecsery, and i sit on the boards of several companies, including air france, fnc investment trust. even with francesca‘s background as a successful business leader, getting her first boardroom position was tough. it‘s an area where often men still hugely outnumber women. change is painful.

there‘s a huge value attributed to "chemistry" on the board, and, of course, "chemistry", you have mainly with people like you. she says boards who don‘t have enough women are putting themselves at a disadvantage. basically it doesn‘t reflect your customer base, it doesn‘t reflect the society at large, it doesn‘t reflect your staff. the government has backed voluntary targets to increase the representation of women on the boards of the biggest listed companies in the country to 33%, or one in three, by the end of this year. it‘s february and that target has now been achieved for the top 100 companies, but not yet for the next 250, and it‘s farfrom job done. i think 33% is a very good start, but, as we can see, and we know there are still many issues in the workplace to address, and we have a lot farther to go before we see really good gender balance in the leadership of business. francesca welcomes the latest boardroom target being hit, but she worries getting enough women at the top table remains

a long way off. katy austin, bbc news. facebook‘s social media accounts were hacked overnight by activists claiming they want to show flaws in cyber security. a group, which calls itself 0ur mine, targeted the firm‘s twitter and instagram feeds and posted messages saying that even facebook is hackable. the accounts have now been restored. it follows a similar attack on teams in america‘s national football league last month. a record high temperature has been logged on the continent of antarctica. a reading of 18.3 degrees celsius beat the previous record by almost a degree. antarctica‘s peninsula, the area that points towards south america, is one of the fastest warming places on earth, heating by almost three degrees over the past 50 years. it's it‘s almost inconceivable, isn‘t it, 18 degrees in antarctica, warmer than here. extraordinary! and the records clearly showing over

a period of time it is dramatically increasing, and then you have these moments, individualtemperatures, which illustrate that so well. talking of temperatures, sarah will have a weather update and she will bring us the latest on storm ciara. let‘s return to that coronvirus story now, and the reports of chinese quanrantine squads forcibly removing people suspected of having the virus. china correspondent stephen mcdonell joins us from beijing. good to you. you are in self—imposed quarantine but what‘s clear is chinese authorities have adopted a different tactic that is being scrutinised? yeah, i don't know if it is necessarily self—imposed, we‘ve been told to do it and i‘m doing it. certainly the bbc doesn‘t wa nt doing it. certainly the bbc doesn‘t want me to go into the bureau where others are just want me to go into the bureau where others arejust in want me to go into the bureau where others are just in case i have the coronavirus, not that i have any symptoms, but this is the thing, there is a 14 day period from if you leave wuhan, if you leave the hubei

province, anywhere in that province, you‘re supposed to isolate yourself. now, from city to city, in china, they‘re taking ever more strict measures and it is kind of being decided at a city level. so, in hong kong, for example, anyone from the mainland who goes into hong kong has to stay in quarantine for two weeks. even a hong kong resident of that city must stay—at—home for two weeks. if you‘re a foreigner, you‘re supposed to stay in a hotel or a government provided facility. but right across china, people are being told, you know, to stay indoors. offices are delaying reopening after the break. same with factories. and although... like, i haven‘t had police come and visit me here and make sure i‘m doing this. certainly the government knows i‘ve been doing this, and they‘ve been in touch, and

they‘ve also been asking if my health is ok and if i am all right, but in shanghai, they‘re a bit more strict on journalists there. those returning from hubei province have been visited by the authorities and told not to leave. i forgot to mention that in hong kong, if you break those quarantine rules, it is potentially punishable with a prison term, so they‘re taking a very strict, hardline there. stephen, thanks very much. stephen mcdonell talking to us from beijing. we‘ve seen some of the problems it is causing in mainland china, potential danger for people visiting east asia and what are your rights if you choose to cancel? travel journalist simon if you choose to cancel? traveljournalist simon calder is with us this morning. also paul hunter, assessor in health protection at the university east anglia. may we‘ll start with some of the basics in terms of the areas that we now know or affected. what do we know about the transition of

the disease? the disease is spread by droplet spreads, we get them when we cough and sometimes when we are talking. the important thing about droplets is they don‘t go very far. typically about a metre... public health england is saying two metres to give it that extra... from individual to individual, it has to be close proximity? yes. it's be close proximity? yes. it‘s interesting, because on the ship that‘s been quarantined off the coast of japan, we were talking to someone who is there and they say when they are out they have to stay one metre apart from everyone but it‘s not practical if you‘re going on holiday, for example, and we‘ll talk to simon about the areas at risk and what people should be thinking about, but it‘s not practical if you‘re in a busy city. use a hong kong, but singapore, china. what should people be thinking about in terms of transmission? -- you say.

i think most parts of places where people will be going, the risk is actually very low and the chances of actually... in a city of 10 million, 20 million, the chances of coming across someone who is at that time symptomatic and infectious is actually very low. there was some concern this disease might spread before people develop symptoms. there was a paper in a journal of medicine suggesting that was the case. other people have said the authors of the original paper didn‘t check the index case, whether she was symptomatic, and when they did, she was. the evidence is at the moment that it doesn‘t spread before people get sick. so if people are well, there shouldn‘t be a particular risk. simon, pick up on a couple of things for us. people will be making decisions about travelling and visiting family or whatever. take us through the official situation and if you like the more anecdotal stuff about what people are doing. the main thing is, mainland china,

the foreign office this week strengthened its advice to say if you are there then get out now if you are there then get out now if you possibly can. that's not actually because they're really worried people are going to catch coronavirus, it's more that if the chinese authorities continue to lockdown places, then that can put british people in difficulties. everywhere else in the world, including hong kong and macau, there is no particular restriction. obviously you need to be aware of coronavirus and follow all the usual health tips. so keep your hands and scrupulously clean and keep a distance from people you think might be old... but stephen mcdonell said when we we re but stephen mcdonell said when we were talking to him that in hong kong authorities are clamping down on anyone who may be symptomatic, and they‘re taking this very seriously. should travellers be concerned or mindful about this? if you are travelling from china to hong kong, overnight, they have restrictions, you have to yourself

isolate for two weeks. the other thing happening in hong kong is the cruise industry, late yesterday, said anyone who has been in hong kong, even if you only transited through the airport, will not be allowed on a cruise ship for two weeks after they have been through hong kong. that is actually extremely inconvenient, and paul would say whether or not in the course of a two hour transit stop you might be... you want to pick up on that? we don't have the date of this outbreak at the moment. but we certainly know from sars and there we re certainly know from sars and there were episodes of infection in the sars outbreak, which is a very similarvirus, 20 sars outbreak, which is a very similar virus, 20 years ago, where people almost certainly picked up the infection while they were waiting to board aeroplanes. on an aeroplane the risk is pretty much the seat in front, your seed and the seatin the seat in front, your seed and the seat in front and the seat behind you, which is pretty much the one metre, but sometimes as you are queueing to board the plane, waiting

in rooms, there is some evidence that that is a risk. so on the cruise ships, there has been a loss of four we have one florentine currently, 61 people, think, tested positive on that ship. are they checking whose on—board and where they have embark from? there isa where they have embark from? there is a lot of concern. cruise ships are saying any one with a chinese, hong kong, or macau passport is not allowed on board. bear in mind cruise ships have always been an extremely effective place for viruses to spread. you can go online now and check the centers for disease control in the us and it will give you a list of the norovirus as last year, the lower —— was thomas 561 cases. you're in close proximity to a lot of people and this is perfect conditions. particularly they have a lot of elderly people who are perhaps most at risk. those worrying. these are

people, we have always known that viruses spread easily on cruise ships and this is simply another example. worrying for the people involved and their relatives. anecdotally, what are people saying to you, what are their concerns when it comes to travel plans?|j to you, what are their concerns when it comes to travel plans? i have never seen such a degree of what i would called panic. in the past few minutes people have been in touch, i am going to thailand next month, i don't want to go, can get my money back? because you can't. 32 cases reported in thailand, abby has died. again, you would have to be in close proximity to one of those people —— gnabry has died. this is where 60 people die in a day on the roads. somebody said i have to pick two people up from heathrow who were coming back from thailand on sunday, should you be worried? they said yes, of course you should, the roads are going to be really dangerous. professor, can you pick up on one thing that was referenced a moment ago, these new restrictions on entering hong kong from china, the

mainland. there was a midnight deadline. lots of people trying to get in before the deadline. the absurdity of the situation is to bring the deadline interpreter people, but lots of people try to get in so they don‘t have to be checked in the same way. it‘s all about containment. if people don‘t adhere or care for... in fact, the history of traveller restrictions, generally, if they don‘t work. people always have ways of going around travel restrictions, going in early or whatever. one of the problems is people than stop going through the normal routes and started doing illegal roots and it is much difficult to keep track of people. so the value of traveller restrictions at best is it will delay things slightly. but they don‘t generally have... delay things slightly. but they don't generally have... it comes down to that common sense. and that‘s half the problem when you see these things spread, people haven‘t used their noggin, so to speak. and don‘t do what they should have done.

picking up on simon‘s point, you use the word panic, people alarmed by this, it is worth the reality check of, here in the uk, the situation as it stands, which is that things are very much under control, the risk is low. yes, yes. and we've got a very good health service that can actually deal with the small numbers we are seeing at the moment very effectively. with quarantine. yes. and if we ever get to a point where we see a lot of cases, if the global epidemic actually does go out of control and becomes a pandemic, then we have still managed in the past to deal effectively with global pandemics of influenza and this actually won‘t be that different. simon, a quick word on people‘s rates at the moment with travel companies. we have heard of travel firms rebooking holidays. yes. the main thing is if you are booked to go to china or on a cruise that

started or ended in china and you can't go, obviously, because the tour operators are not running that trip, when you are entitled, if you date, package holiday with light as well, to get all your money back. i'm getting lots of anecdotal evidence from people who have been phoned up, nothing in writing at all, by the travel company who say you were going to china, now you are going tojapan, if you were going to china, now you are going to japan, if you decide to cancel you will lose all your money. absolutely not. if there is a significant change to your trip, and i would is swapping japan for china is significant, then you are entitled to your money back. but you are certainly not entitled your money back if you are going somewhere else and don't feel right travelling, keep it in proportion. we have seen 700 deaths in china. that's a slightly fewer than the numberof that's a slightly fewer than the number of people who die on an average day in the people's republic. simon, thank you very much. and professor hunter, thank you for your expertise as well. simon mentioned, storm ciara will be a problem this weekend. that is what

sarah is looking at. good morning, sarah. good morning, naga and charlie. it is likely to be one of the most disruptive songs we have seen in several years, down to the fact we have strong winds, an amber warning in plays for severe gales. this storm will be widespread across the uk. we are all going to see those disruptive winds and it will be quite long—lived as well. still not getting out of the way in a hurry. we are likely to see 24—48 hours a very strong winds across some parts of the uk. storm ciara, at the moment, is out in the atlantic. it brought severe weather to the north—east in states. it is driven bya north—east in states. it is driven by a strong jet stream. as it develops the winds will be strengthening en route to the uk. we have had rain overnight pushing eastwards. we will still see rain lingering and fairly cloudy conditions and the south—east for the next few hours. they should get out of the way. the wind is picking up out of the way. the wind is picking up in the north—west. northern ireland and scotland seeing gales developing an heavy rain spreading late in the day. ahead of that, some

showers, thunder and lightning around as well. further south and east, fairly dry day out there with sunshine. temperatures still mild, 7-11 sunshine. temperatures still mild, 7—11 for most of us. into the evening and night, the winds strengthen further. 60—70 mph gusts across scotland and northern ireland for a time. strong winds and heavy rain sweeping and through the west through the early hours of sunday. this is the arrival of the main bulk of storm ciara. it is a windy and wet start to your sunday morning. the storm will be quite disruptive for many on sunday. you can see the proximity of these isobars as storm ciara works in from the west. it is fairly unusual that we see such windy conditions right across the uk. if we concentrate on the wind gusts we are likely to see, something like 60—70 mph in for most of us, but over hills and around the coasts up to 80 mph gusts. from the western isles right down to the english channel as well. to start of sunday morning some rain, mountain

snow across scotland, the main bulk of rain please leave sunshine and heavy showers with hail and thunder. the winds, real squares, heavy showers with hail and thunder. the winds, realsquares, could heavy showers with hail and thunder. the winds, real squares, could gusts up the winds, real squares, could gusts up to 70—80 mph, even right through the central belt with the heavy showers and thunderstorms. further south across the uk we have a wet start of the day on sunday with strong winds from the word go. this is the cold front on this line, the green colour showing heavy bus of rain, thunder, and hail. that is where we are likely to see strongest and gusty as winds as it makes its way towards the south—east. with gusts up to 80 mph but equally in the south—east with an amber warning in force, there could be significant disruption to transport stock power cuts are possible, we expect some trees down and large waves around the coast as well. this storm doesn‘t get out of the way in a hurry. it still windy for monday and tuesday, not as windy as it will be on sunday. we will be seeing some mountain snow developing as well into next week. very windy conditions, lots going on with the weather out there. charlie and naga.

thanks very much. there‘s been a big increase in the number of young adults being taken to court for unpaid debts. around 160,000 people in their 20s were given county courtjudgements in england and wales last year. louise cooper, from bbc radio 4‘s money box, has been looking into it. she‘s in our london newsroom. good morning, louise. good to see you. what‘s happening here, why is this on the rise? we think it is a particular situation with respect to young adults. but let‘s look at their income, tends to be low income, low—wage work, and precarious, 0—hour contract, freelancing, part—time, precarious, 0—hour contract, freelancing, pa rt—time, income highly variable, highly precarious. at the same time young adults are the most likely to be in one of the most expensive housing, private rented accommodation. and that‘s with their finances that are precarious under strain. we think thatis precarious under strain. we think that is the reason why you have been seeing this big increase in these cou nty seeing this big increase in these

county courtjudgements against young adults, in particular, and by the way, it‘s notjust the 30% rise over the last year, if you go back this is a trend that goes back quite a few years. let's talk specifically about a county courtjudgement, what is it and what is the impact of one being imposed was yellow well, it‘s a courtjudgement against you for non—payment of debt. and what it does that so devastating is it puts you on a register. a database for non—payment. in that database is checked by credit reference agencies. so we spoke to one young woman who didn‘t even know she had a cou nty woman who didn‘t even know she had a county courtjudgement woman who didn‘t even know she had a county court judgement against woman who didn‘t even know she had a county courtjudgement against her. it only discovered it when she tried to get car finance. it only discovered it when she tried to get carfinance. a it only discovered it when she tried to get car finance. a stop to potentially getting mobile phone finance. it even could have cost a job ina finance. it even could have cost a job in a bank. and that was a ccj she knew nothing about because the court documents were sent to her old address. and this is the problem. it

is the person or the company that you owe money to that gives your address to the court and then, u nfortu nately, address to the court and then, unfortunately, the court never checks it. so the particular problem here is that often people don‘t even know they have these. so if you have one or you suspect you may have had one or you suspect you may have had one imposed upon you, what can you do about it to make sure it doesn‘t affect you in future life? you can have something called a set aside. once you are on this register, this database, you once you are on this register, this data base, you will once you are on this register, this database, you will be on that for six years. now, if you‘ve got a legitimate reason why you shouldn‘t be honoured, for example the court documents were sent to the wrong address, an old address, you can get address, an old address, you can get a set aside. that may involve getting help from a lawyer. there are things you can do, but this has been quite a worrying increase in young adults getting these. while we are seeing this increase, what has the government said in response to this? is there anything you potentially could do or even desire to do? the ministry ofjustice they

don‘t comment on statistics year to year. there are campaigners and critics that are looking at this, because, you know, the original court four county court judgements is if you owe somebody thousands of pounds, but what we‘ve seen as quite a significant increase in county courtjudgements were really quite modest sums. for young adults in particular, the sort of category where most ccjs are is for 100— 500 pounds. and given the devastation that a cpj can do to your credit record, that seems a little unfair. it is something campaigners and critics are looking at. if you don‘t pay, for example, a parking ticket ina pay, for example, a parking ticket in a private parking bay then you could end up with a ccj against you if it is sent to the wrong address. it seems to be using a hammer to crack a nut. there are campaigners looking at the same we need to look at the significant rise and judge if

this is the best way to deal with the problem. louise, good to talk to you. thank you for taking us through that. louise cooper will have more on that. you can hear more about that on money box on radio 4 from midday today. coming up in the next half hour: oh, yes! driving down post—traumatic stress. we‘ll find out how a caddy school at the home of golf is helping ex—service personnel to cope with life on civvy street. goal story! stay with us, headlines coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning, here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news: video footage has emerged from china which appears to show officials forcibly rounding up people suspected of having the coronavirus. multiple unverified videos, like this one, show the so—called ‘quarantine squads‘ at work. more than 700 people have now died as a result of the virus, with more than 34,000 infected. pressure is mounting on the prime minister over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms giant huawei to be involved in uk‘s 5g network. four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory

mps asking those with concerns to speak up. yesterday the us vice—president mike pence described the decision to include huawei in the network as disappointing. the government insists the move followed a rigorous review. in the last half—hour, polls have opened for voting in ireland‘s general election, the first one ever held there on a saturday. prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations and to make it easier for students and those working away from home to vote. residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. more than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday, that‘s more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. the home office said that five inflatable boats had been intercepted. five emergency responders have been taken to hospital for precautionary

checks after a suspected chemical incident in stoke—on—trent. police and other emergency services were called to a house in the northwood area of the city yesterday evening, where the body of a woman has been found. her death has been treated as unexplained. staffordshire police say suspected hazardous materials we re say suspected hazardous materials were at the scene. facebook social media accounts were hacked overnight were dominant by activists claiming to want to show flaws in cyber security. the group, ourmine, flaws in cyber security. the group, our mine, targeted the twitter and instagram feeds and posted messages saying even facebook is hakuba. they have been restored and it follows a tax on the nfl last month. those are the main stories this morning and holly is on the sofa, what‘s going on? morning and holly is on the sofa, what's going on? a huge morning mike day, the six nations, always a thrill -- day, the six nations, always a thrill —— a huge day. all of the home nations in action today. a war of words between these four sides.

ireland and wales in dublin this afternoon, the reigning champions taking on ireland. lots of people saying whoever loses this today, that could be the end of their six nations. these are two huge teams and then england taking on scotland, and then england taking on scotland, and this one always gets a little bit spicy. it‘s the oldest contest in rugby, the calcutta cup, and today the venue is murrayfield in edinburgh. we‘ve had the usual war of words between the two camps, and england boss eddiejones is well known for getting involved. more than that, as he told sonja mclaughlan, he believes it‘s his duty. i think as a head coach you‘ve got a responsibility to... like, it‘s easy not to say anything. sure, iunderstand. but i think you‘ve got a responsibility to create the theatre of the game, to paint a picture of how you want your players to play, and sometimes paint a picture to the opposition. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn‘t.

scotland have held the trophy for the past two years after beating england at murrayfield in 2018 and coming away from twickenham with a draw last year, but the playersjust try to keep out of the pre—match mind games. myjob is to concentrate on making sure that i‘m getting my performance spot on, but also making sure that the team are switched on and we‘re here the right reasons. we‘re not listening to what everybody else has got to say, we are concentrating on what happens within the four walls of our changing room and making sure we‘re focused and for what‘s coming our way. before that game kicks off this evening, ireland host reigning champions wales in dublin. after winning their opening games last weekend, the grand slam is still on for both sides, but ireland know that they‘ll have to improve on their performance last weekend when theyjust about got over the line against scotland. it‘s been a trademark of the irish team over the last few years, to be physically dominant, and i thought last week we had

in part, probably won‘t as consistent as we usually are in that aspect of the game. look, we know we‘re going to have to step it up a little bit this week and find that consistency so we don‘t let teams off the hook, and just keep putting pressure on in terms of dominance. they're a very, very physical team and if you let them get on the front foot, they're very, very dangerous so we've got to be very careful about the areas we play in and make sure that we match that physicality that's obviously going to be there. we know it's not an easy place to go, the record speaks for itself there, so it's going to be a big challenge but we certainly have to front up physically and make sure we play at the right ends of the field. both ireland and wales have a new head coach, we heard from wayne pivac there, but let‘s look now at ireland‘s andy farrell. he‘s the father of englandhcaptain owen farrell, of course, and farrell senior

is in the top job for the first time in his career. austin halewood went to meet some of his former coaches, to see what makes him special. commentator: and andy farrell's ireland are up and running. the start all coaches dream of, first match, first win. 2019 was a year to forget for irish rugby, but now andy farrell is the man tasked with taking them back to the very top. but farrell‘s journey to dublin and lansdowne road started across the irish sea here in wigan at 0rrell stjames‘ as a junior playing rugby league. he came down, did one training session and then we played a game against another local team where he scored two tries and kicked about six goals, including one near enough of the touchline. he was ten. he was doing things at 11 or 12 that other kids couldn‘t do at 15 or 16. and from a young prospect, farrell became a rugby league legend at wigan warriors.

after making his debut at 16, he went on to win six championships and four challenge cups with his hometown club. he even captained great britain atjust 21. he was always trying to improve everyone and himself, he hated losing but he was always a serious person when he was talking about rugby league and how to improve the team. like i said, he was really strong... had a strong voice but i think his biggest asset was his ability to get people up to play in the big games as we did. from age—group rugby to captaining his country, farrell has always been a winner and now a whole new nation will be desperate for him to do it all over again. austin halewood, bbc news. a great day of rugby to look forward to. commentary on ireland against wales is on radio5 live. kick off at 2:15pm, with scotland v england live on bbc1 and the bbc sport website. that‘s at 4:45pm. saracens have escaped

with a fine after admitting they fielded an inelgible player in the champions cup. if they had been given a points deduction, they would have been out of the competition. they are out of the premiership rugby cup, though, after losing 28—7 to sale sharks in the semi—finals. sale scored three quick—fire tries in the first half to do the damage. they‘ll play harlequins in next month‘s final. israel folau won‘t be making his super league debut for catalans dragons against wakefield tomorrow, not because of the controversy surrounding his signing, but because he‘s not match—ready. last night, castleford beat wigan 16—12 and danny houghton marked his 350th appearance for hull fc with a try, as they won the derby against hull kr by 25—16. great britain have a job on their hands to reach the fed cup finals. they are 2—0 down to slovakia in bratislava after heather watson lost the opening singles, and harriet dart saved five match

points before she was beaten in a really tight three—setter by viktoria kuzmova. it‘s a best—of—five tie, so britain need to win both reverse singles and the doubles today to go through, and you can watch it on the bbc sport website and app. there are only two premier league matches today because of the winter break, and it‘s scottish cup fifth—round weekend, with all the games kicking off one minute late as part of the heads up mental health initiative. more on that on the website. bristol city missed the chance to go third in the championship after losing 3—1 to birmingham city. bristol city actually took the lead afterjust 40 seconds. jamie paterson taking advantage of a wea k jamie paterson taking advantage of a weak backpass. but birmingham recovered, lukas jutkiewicz wrapping up victory in injury time. england‘s cricketers have to win the final one—day international against south africa tomorrow to avoid a series defeat after the second match in durban had to be abandonded due to persistent rain.

it had already already been reduced to 26 overs a side and south africa were 71—2 when it was called off. england suffered a heavy defeat in the opening game. huge day ahead. we were talking earlier about what we‘ve got planned. i‘ll be honest, i‘m waiting for a delivery today and it‘s the only time where i‘m happy to wait all day for that delivery. as you were talking about the calcutta cup match, i had forgotten the drama of this event last year, 2019. by way of an appetiser for today, right... at half time, this was last year in this game...” remember. england 31-7 scotland, half—time. you reach extra time... not extra time, the clock has gone red and the score is england 31—38.

so they are ahead and it has gone into the red. this is huge drama. and then with the clock ticking, it‘s already in the red, england score a try and it ends up 38—38. remarkable! talk about a game of all of that... remarkable! talk about a game of all of that. .. something about this fixture, calcutta cup, everything all year. that meant obviously scotla nd all year. that meant obviously scotland retained the trophy, so this year, england want revenge, don‘t they? this year, england want revenge, don't they? it will be very tense i think, notjust for the players but for the watchers as well. exactly, for the watchers as well. exactly, for the watchers as well. exactly, for the fans at home. good luck, everyone. thanks, ollie. if you play golf, you‘ll know that a few hours on the course can be a great way to relieve stress, as long as you‘re getting the rub of the green. now a special project at the home of golf, st andrews, is helping ex—service personnel to benefit from that peace and fresh air by training them up as caddies. louise cowey reports. mentally ready much never been the same since i came back. it‘s kind of

upset, angry, irritable, pretty much non—stop with my mind racing all the time. certain sounds will make you remember stuff you have seen or smells give you memories and you don‘t want to remember. john pitts is a former soldier who served with the us army in afghanistan. he‘s one of seven x servicemen from around the world undertaking a crash course in caddying at st andrews. let‘s put you on the driver and i wa nt let‘s put you on the driver and i want you to aim to the left of the bunkers out here. ok. the residential caddy school for soldiers is the brainchild of don snyder, whose father was a second world war veteran. came back from the war, he married the only girl he ever loved, her name was peggy, she was 18, and she died a few days after giving birth to twin boys. i‘m one of them. my dad was shattered and he spent that autumn sleeping on her grave, and it was his buddies from the war who came and picked him up in the

morning and try to get him to talk through his grief. i wanted to do something that would honour those soldiers, those world war ii soldiers, those world war ii soldiers, and also this new generation of soldiers. soldiers like bob goodwin, who was shotin soldiers like bob goodwin, who was shot in patrol in helmand province. how long do you normally hit the driver? normally hit about 225. him and the rest of the men are taught under the watchful eye of davey gilchrist, twice scottish caddie master of the year. these quys caddie master of the year. these guys have been through probably the worst atrocities you could ever imagine, and we bring them here, training them to have a new life. 0h, training them to have a new life. oh, yes! that'll work now. i've struggled a bit since i've got out of the military to, like, get into a properjob, i've tried a few different things and not really suit, like, my lifestyle now, so i'm now a little bit... this is perfect. it's outdoors, it's a nice environment, it's active.

it's environment, it's active. it‘s the second year the school has run. scott morrison hale took part in 2019 and now has a job at dunbar knee links, which is due to open in the spring. i was at my lowest point where i was in hospital in and out all the time, didn‘t really care about myself any more. thought i was basically finished. this school has perk me up 100% and thejob... couldn‘t even contemplate being able to do that before... getting on with my life again. since last year's in school, dozens of british veterans are believed to have taken their own lives. in america the figure is 20 a day. in a bid to reduce that terrible death toll and following on from its success here in scotland, america will stage its first caddy school for soldiers and following the ryder cup at whistling straits later this year. for this newly

formed band of brothers, it‘s already marked a new chapter and a chance to heal their wartime wounds. louise cowey, bbc news, st andrews. you know i‘m a big fan of golf but the way it can bring people together and have conversations and talk about anything while you‘re out in the fresh air. for me, nothing better. looking at the scenery and all that stuff, you can imagine it would work. it is fabulous. you saw it looking glorious, but it was quite windy. it will be windy in certain parts of the uk and gusty and squally and rainy and sarah has all the details. morning. good morning, naga and charlie. we have some strong winds in the forecast. they are likely to bring disruptive, potentially dangerous weather through the weekend, articulately tomorrow. winds strengthening today in the north—west but we will see the strong winds tomorrow. there is an amberwarning the strong winds tomorrow. there is an amber warning from the met office for the strong winds in the

south—east of england. the winds really will be widespread and we have heavy rain, large waves as well around the coast. this storm, storm ciara, has been developing in the atlantic. it brought severe weather to the north—eastern states. it is heading towards the british isles. we have had rain already overnight on this first weather front, that will clear the south—east of the next few hours. today, quite a lot of dry weather around but the wind is picking up. for northern ireland and scotland gales developing, followed by heavy rain this afternoon. much of eastern scotland, england, wales stay largely dry, heavy showers for the north—west. sungshan around out there today and temperatures 7— 11 degrees for most of us. the winds continue to strengthen across northern ireland and scotland into this evening. 60 — 70 mph gusts of wind. some snowfall over the amounts of scotland. heavy rain works its way eastwards as storm ciara moves on. the winds really strong by first thing tomorrow morning. it is a mild,

frost free night. on the word go tomorrow morning we have disruptive winds and they will strengthen further through the day. here is storm ciara. you can see the proximity of their isobars, indicating strong winds across the british isles —— the isobars. we will see gusts of wind about 60—70 mph in land for many of us. over the hills and around the coast up to 80 mph, right from the western isles down towards the english channel as well, where we have an amber weather warning in force. across the northern half of the uk, heavy rain, followed by sunshine and scattered heavy showers, thunderstorms, hail and lightning, is squeezing the isobars. gusts 70—80 mph, enough to cause significant disruption right through the central belt. further south, heavy rain, you can see the green colours indicating torrential rain. this is a cold front. as it shifts south across england and wales through the afternoon it will bring strong, gusty, squally winds

and hailand bring strong, gusty, squally winds and hail and lightning. the weather likely to cause significant disruption tomorrow, down to storm ciara. we have the gales, transport is likely to be disrupted and the potential for power because with trees down, large waves around the coast could bring coastalflooding. it stays pretty stormy for monday into tuesday. not as windy as it will be on sunday but strong winds. we see the arrival of wintry showers over high ground in the north. keep tuned to the latest forecast. and all the weather warnings are our website. naga and charlie. thanks for bringing us up—to—date. we‘ll be back with the headlines at 8am. now it‘s time for newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch, with me, samira ahmed. tonight, we are leaving the european union. borisjohnson addresses the nation via social media on the night we finally leave the eu. why didn‘t the bbc broadcast his speech? and why did the bbc turn its new studio blue

and yellow for brexit night? last friday was the night we left the european union and the bbc had an extended news programme at 10pm, to mark the occasion. viewers got in touch to say they couldn‘t understand why the bbc news studio had turned blue and yellow, the colours of the eu. simon lee e—mailed. .. other viewers got in touch to say they were unhappy with the coverage of the event in parliament square, where nigel farage and other leave campaigners were celebrating. just after the 11pm exit, the national anthem was played and sung by the crowds, here‘s how the bbc marked it. singing, chanting, renditions of god save the queen, rule britannia and, in the final moments before we left the european union, nigel farage, the person many credit with putting pressure on the conservative

party and making sure that brexit happened. tonight, as he addressed the crowds here, he said, some people said this wasn‘t to be celebrated. he says it was. it was a victory, he says, for democracy. he said, "we beat the establishment, who didn‘t want the referendum, they didn‘t want this to happen." but he also said that this wasn‘t the end, that there would be battles ahead and he would be standing by to make sure that boris johnson did deliver. tim dorsett e—mailed to say... the main complaint about friday‘s coverage of brexit night was to do with the prime minister‘s statement and the bbc‘s decision not to broadcast the footage. usually in these kind of situations, national broadcaster, usually in these kind of situations, a national broadcaster, either the bbc, itn, or sky news, would be invited

into downing street, to record the prime minister‘s words. instead, the statement was recorded by borisjohnson‘s team and distributed via facebook and twitter. the bbc decided not to broadcast it. instead, using a graphic with a quote spoken by the presenter. many viewers complained about this decision and so did the former chairman of the bbc, lord grade, who voiced his concerns on the today programme on thursday. i‘m very critical of the bbc not defending decisions it makes editorially. the most recent one, not running the prime minister‘s brexit speech. fine, that‘s a... ..decision the director—general or the head of news and current affairs should be up front, defending that decision. or not, as the case may be. the bbc hides, when it‘s under criticism, it hides. and i‘m very critical of the bbc for that. and that‘s completely wrong, because they expect everybody else to come on and be accountable to the bbc‘s journalists when they are enquiring. well, we asked the bbc

for an interview to explain the decision did not broadcast the statement. but they refused, instead, giving us this explanation. well, i‘m joined now by nigel bonson, who is one of the viewers who contacted us about this and he is in our sheffield studio. nigel, why were you unhappy with the bbc‘s decision not to broadcast the video? well, i was up waiting for it, as many people were i‘m sure. i waited for the interview to be broadcast and it‘s i waited for the interview to be broadcast and itjust didn‘t happen. i didn‘t see any apology or any explanation until later.

what you just mentioned about that explanation might involve internal politics between the normal process of the bbc and others going into number ten, but as far as the public‘s concerned, and as far as i was concerned, itjust didn‘t matter. i don‘t think the public care how it‘s done, they wanted to hear the prime minister‘s address. so, the bbc might say they did report what he said, including reporting in advance all day what he was going to say and that audiences did get informed on the news content. well, i certainly wasn‘t informed. but as far as i‘m concerned what they reported in short, snappy bits during the day is irrelevant. i, and i‘m sure others, wanted to hear the prime minister at 10pm, as had been widely suggested. itn didn‘t put the footage out either, which is interesting. and you‘ll be aware that number ten increasingly seem be using social media instead of speaking to national broadcasters, which is usual practice on recording a statement like this. i suppose the bbc and some viewers might feel that there is a potentially dangerous precedent.

do you have any concerns about that at all? i don‘t. what itn chose to do isn‘t relevant. the bbc, as a national broadcaster, should broadcast these things. and, the average member of the public wouldn‘t be aware of how it‘s done. to be honest, i think it‘s rather petty and to do with internal politics, rather than meeting the needs of the nation. just to be clear, you‘d feel the same, whoever was prime minister, if this was how they chose to release their statements? absolutely, and that‘s central to my argument and i hope that‘s not being missed. journalists are definitely concerned that there is an attempt to control the press, to limit how his message is got across, which might, ultimately, i suppose broadcasters would say, be to the detriment of the public

and public service to hold the government to acount on behalf of voters. do you think at any stage there might be a point of principle around the prime minister‘s use of social media as his main way of getting out his message? well, i think social media, nowadays, is just as important as national tv. i would clearly be concerned, as i‘m sure with others, if that was being managed too much. my view is that had the bbc got into number ten to record it, there wouldn‘t have been any questions and answers anyway, so it wouldn‘t have held the prime minister to account. so if you had a message to give to bbc executives, given that they made this decision, what would you say they should do? i would say that the public and the viewers first and, as would normally happen, if the prime minister wants to address the nation, he should be able to. i would just draw the analogy of a general election after two months campaign, a decision that affects the next five years of the country,

that would have been covered. yet this has been a four year campaign and something that will affect the nation for perhaps generations and yet the prime minister wasn‘t heard on the night. nigel bonson, thank you so much. now for some of your other thoughts on topics this week. remember, last week, we featured a mistake from bbc news when they showed a picture of lebron james instead of kobe bryant? surely two black people couldn‘t be confused for each other again on the bbc, could they? well, here‘s the parliament channel on monday. the bill does lack any legal guarantees to protect us against undermining food standards here, so... that was not dawn butler, it was in fact her fellow labour mp, marsha de cordova. dawn butler tweeted. ..

the bbc parliament channel apologised, saying... also on monday, bbc breakfast did an interview with former one direction band member louis tomlinson. he was publicising his new solo album. but the line of questioning from presenters louise minchin and dan walker prompted complaints. do you feel that, at some stage, i‘ve put too much of myself in there or is that part of helping you in writing that way as well about the loss of your mum and your sister and other things? i think because of where i started my career, on the x factor and... you know, there's always been a camera on me, and i've always kind of given a lot of myself, it's kind of all i've known in my career, really. so i almost use that to my advantage. i'm brave enough to talk about these things and, yeah, it's worked out.

i‘m sure you get asked a lot about the potential of one direction getting back together at some stage. you've ticked them all off now, you've gone trauma, zayn and now we're finally on this one, i like it. come on! erm, i'll give you the answer i give everyone else — it's inevitable. louis tomlinson tweeted after the programme... well, viewer, veronica e—mailed to say... well, the bbc gave us this reply...

and, finally, a group of leading reporters from the national media decided not to attend a downing street briefing on monday, when other journalists, who hadn‘t been invited, were turned away. this prompted matthew dudley to get in touch. why has the bbc failed to report the fact that all journalists walked out of the briefing yesterday, the brexit briefing, yesterday, because of a government attempt to select particularjournalists? one of the people walking out was apparently laura kuenssberg, your person there. and ifind it unfathomable why you have not made this headline news. well, the story hasn‘t featured on the main bbc tv news bulletins, but the bbc did give us this response... thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see here or on bbc news, including its social media and on my output, e—mail newswatch@bbc. co. uk or you can

find us on twitter bbc. you can call us on 0370 010 6676 and you can even appear on the programme. have a look at our website, bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that‘s all from us. we‘ll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. growing anger in china as authorities forcibly detain people suspected of having the coronavirus. thousands of passengers confined to their cabins onboard the diamond princess — more than 60 people are infected with the virus.

six senior conservative mps try to pressure borisjohnson into rethinking huawei‘s involvement in the uk‘s 5g telecom networks. good morning. a huge day in the six nations coming up — all the home sides in action, including rugby‘s oldest rivalry — the calcutta cup — it‘s scotland against england at murrayfield. good morning. the weather is likely to cause some disruption through the weekend as storm ciara is approaching. we have strong winds today for scotland and northern ireland. widely across the uk, disruptive winds tomorrow. large waves around the coast and heavy rainfall, too. i‘ll have all your details throughout the programme. it‘s saturday the 8th of february. authorities in china have been forcibly rounding—up people suspected of having the coronavirus. as other countries try to control the spread, a british honeymooner is among more than 60 people who have tested positive for the virus on board a cruise ship quarantined off the coast of japan. greg mckenzie reports.

as more and more cases of coronavirus are being reported, these unverified videos show chinese authorities at work. house—to—house searches, rounding up the sick. it‘s all adding to a growing sense of fear and dread. a child says, "i don‘t want to be taken away like that." in hong kong, a mandatory two—week quarantine has been ordered for anyone arriving from mainland china. visitors are being told to isolate themselves in hotel rooms or go to government—run centres, while returning hong kong residents have been ordered to stay inside their homes. but the whole idea is really for this person to stay at home

and not to go out so that in case they carry any virus, it will not be transmitted to the rest of the community. there have been more than 31,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in mainland china, with more than 716 deaths. outside china, at least 270 cases have been confirmed in at least 25 countries. there are three confirmed cases in the uk. a third patient caught coronavirus at a business conference in singapore. he‘s currently being treated at st thomas‘ hospital in central london. the two other uk cases are being treated at the royal victoria infirmary infectious diseases centre in newcastle. just off the coast of japan, 61 people — including one british national — have tested positive for the virus on a cruise ship.

alan steele from wolverhampton, who was on his honeymoon with his wife, wendy, is among those to be taken away for hospital treatment. tomorrow, at least 150 british citizens are expected to arrive back in the uk on the final repatriation flight coming in from wuhan. they‘ll be taken to a training and conference venue on the outskirts of milton keynes. the foreign office is advising all british nationals who are in china to leave the country if they can to reduce the risk of infection. greg mckenzie, bbc news. our china correspondent stephen mcdonelljoins us from beijing — where he‘s in self—imposed quarantine. we were just seeing some of those images of what appears to be some new tactics, new procedures from the chinese authorities. tell us more.

the way in which this is being handled differs from city to city and, infact, probably handled differs from city to city and, in fact, probably within cities from area to area. so right across china, more strict measures are being taken to stop the spread of the coronavirus. that‘s because the numbers keep going up, the numbers infected keep going up, the numbers of dead keep going up and according to some scientists it could even be ten times more in terms of the number of people infected than the official figures show. so, number of people infected than the officialfigures show. so, desperate times call for desperate measures and all that, and so in various places people are being forced to go into quarantine. now in hong kong for example, the authorities have said that if you are arriving back in that city from the mainland, even if you are a local resident, you have to go into quarantine for two weeks because that is the maximum incubation period. if you don‘t do that you face potentially a prison

term, so they are trying to really ram it home that people should be doing this. foreigners arriving in hong kong, two weeks in a hotel or a government organised isolation facility. and right across china, we have different other measures being taken where city governments are saying, in every household, may be only one person every couple of days can leave home to go to the shops. it is hard to believe, though, that in theory, in a few days‘ time, places like beijing and shanghai are supposed to be going back to normal in terms of people coming back from the new year break. ijust can‘t see that happening. how on earth, given the restrictions that are in place now and how worried everybody is, can people go piling back into the underground train system by the millions. i think at the moment many companies have taken it upon themselves to tell their staff to stay—at—home, to work from there, which is what happened in my case.

we return from wuhan... surrey, from hubei province, at the start of this emergency, and they said we shouldn‘t be in contact with others soi shouldn‘t be in contact with others so i have been home for two weeks. we have been facing similar restrictions across the country. only people not in hubei province have been told by their employers not to come to work as this emergency continues. for the moment, thank you very much. pressure is mounting on the prime minister borisjohnson over his decision to allow the chinese telecomms firm huawei to be involved in uk‘s 5g network. fourformer cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps, asking those with concerns to speak out. let‘s get more on this from our political correspondent matt cole, who is in our london newsroom. matt, will this mounting pressure have any effect? well, look, these are not the first voices to be heard being critical of

the decision to let huawei into the sg the decision to let huawei into the 5g network. the fourformer cabinet ministers, tobias ellwood, the defence select committee chair, and bob seely, and all of them, along with others who haven‘t signed this letter, have long been saying they don‘t like the idea of the chinese company huawei being involved in this network. they fear it will allow the chinese government to spy on the uk. huawei‘s founder has said repeatedly he would rather shut down the company than let the chinese government interfere in what it does, but that didn‘t stop the uk government deciding to let huawei m, government deciding to let huawei in, to restrict it to 35% of the infrastructure and not allow it to be involved in the choir. these mps say they are still not happy and they want what they call a trusted vendor is to be allowed to be part of the network. these are companies that respect market competition and human rights. they seem to be suggesting that huawei doesn‘t fit the bill. this letter to their

fellow m ps the bill. this letter to their fellow mps is asking others to come forward with other ideas. i think as things stand they acknowledge it is difficult but they are very keen to see the very least of tapering off over time of the involvement of huawei. thanks very much. polls have opened for voting in ireland‘s general election — the first one ever held there on a saturday. prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations — and to make it easier for students and those working away from home to vote. residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. more than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday — that‘s more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. the home office said that five inflatable boats had been intercepted. a third of board members in the uk‘s top 100 companies are women, according to the department for business. that‘s up by more than 10% compared to a decade ago.

the business secretary andrea leadsom says the target has been reached ahead of schedule — but more still needs to be done. facebook‘s social media accounts were hacked overnight by activists claiming they want to show flaws in cyber security. a group, which calls itself our mine, targeted the firm‘s twitter and instagram feeds and posted messages saying that "even facebook is hackable". the accounts have now been restored. it follows a similar attack on teams in america‘s national football league last month. the time is eight to 10am. we have the sport coming up later. also looking ahead at the storms over the weekend. all the weather for you, looking ahead at the storms over the weekend. all the weatherfor you, as well. the tv presenter phillip schofield is on nearly every front page today after coming out as gay. he made the announcement on social media before speaking about it on the itv show this morning, which he normally presents alongside holly willoughby. let‘s take a look. everyone i‘ve spoken to... you... yeah. ..have all been so supportive

and so loving and caring. and my entire family, to a person, have grabbed us and said, "it‘s ok, it‘s ok, we love you, we‘re proud of you." yeah. and every person i tell, it gets a little lighter and a little lighter. but at the same time, you know, i have made this decision, which is essential for me and essential for my head. yeah. and that‘s principally the reason i‘ve done this. back in 2014 the reality tv star charlie king also revealed he was gay on this morning — and he was interviewed by phillip schofield. charlie joins us now. good morning. good morning. it is so sweet, we were just chatting when we we re sweet, we were just chatting when we were watching that and i asked if he‘d watched it yesterday as it happened. but you were doing other things. what were you doing? happened. but you were doing other things. what were you doing7m happened. but you were doing other things. what were you doing? it was my mum's birthday so i was

preoccupied with sorting out her ca ke preoccupied with sorting out her cake and making sure she was having a good morning. that, in a way, i think is really relevant because this is all about you getting on with your life. that moment in time for you, it happened that you did that on this morning but that was like that before. the reason you did that was to get on with life, lead a normal life and not have worries of secrets and all that stuff. it brought it all back to me yesterday and talking to my mum, it was like, oh, my god, remember when and talking to my mum, it was like, oh, my god, rememberwhen i did and talking to my mum, it was like, oh, my god, remember when i did that and how it has gone full circle? we reminisced on that. it was a big day andl reminisced on that. it was a big day and i can absolutely empathise with how phil must have been feeling. when it was your turn to do that, your time to do that, how did you feel before? i was scared, your time to do that, how did you feel before? iwas scared, iwon't lie. it is a very daunting prospect that you are going into reveal your truth and you know that when you walk out of the studio you are going to bea walk out of the studio you are going to be a totally different. life will never be the same again. for anyone

who doesn‘t know what happened or how you came out, we will show it now. it's been a long time coming. the last sort of few months i've been sitting on the fence a little bit. i spoke to james about it and said that i feel that i'm ready now. and even though i am nervous sitting here talking about it, i know that the time is now because i've... anyone that might know me knows i come off the only way is essex, and on that show they followed my storyline, which was very much about that subject because i never really knew where i belonged and never really knew where i fitted in. and it was something that i had to address and it's taken me a good few years to kind of get here now to be able to say, "i'm charlie, i'm 29 years old, i'm a gay man and i'm very comfortable with that." and when you do something like that, you need to feel you are in a safe environment to do that. absolutely. you obviously did. i did. there is something very comforting about being there and felt himself, he was like a father figure, like you,

charlie, you have a lovely warmth about you and you know you will be all right. they will support you and you will enjoy this experience. what is interesting, you talk about your mum, happy birthday for yesterday! you were talking about family. it‘s that feeling that you have hidden your true self. yeah. not even to your true self. yeah. not even to yourfamily —— not only your true self. yeah. not even to your family —— not only to your family. i‘m not sure if they knew. my mum knew. but also with past relationships and how that is scrutinised because people make judgments. they do. not about being 93v judgments. they do. not about being gay but how you have apparently treated people because you have effectively, in their words, treated people because you have effectively, in theirwords, lied, or hidden your true self. how did you cope with that wasteland that is a massive factor to consider because the problem with myself as i never wanted to be gay. i still struggle to this day because i don't get that sense of belonging but i trust who i am and! sense of belonging but i trust who i am and ijust go about my life the way that i do. but when you are

struggling with who you are and you are trying your best to be someone else or trying to delve into other life style else or trying to delve into other lifestyle choices, you can get yourself in quite difficult situations. i did that on the only way is essex with the lads. i felt i needed to day the girls and be out doing that sort of stuff for the sake of the shell and being seen as one of the boys and being accepted and truthfully i was getting myself more and more unhappy and lost. one thing that occurs to me... you said a moment ago that when you went into that studio you thought everything would change. i am keen to know whether some of the things you found out actually don‘t change, which is the people who do rally around, the people who stand by. whatever the phrases are. or maybe the people you meet subsequently, that actually changes can work both ways and it can be so much for the better. you can be so much for the better. you can build so much fear into what you

think the outcome will be by what you think people will think of you and that is one of the biggest issues and for me, actually, the support afterwards and howl issues and for me, actually, the support afterwards and how i left feeling that day was incredible. the support, the people that are around me come around me to this very day, theyjust want you to be happy and anyone that is worth having in your life are the ones that are just going to support you and care for you and love you. what is quite difficult, what you mention, which is quite an open thing, you never wa nted is quite an open thing, you never wanted to be gay and even now you struggle. i do, very much. and people would have seen you and taken inspiration for what you did, so how do you balance that when people want from you to say it‘s ok, if you feel good, i feel from you to say it‘s ok, if you feel good, ifeel good. from you to say it‘s ok, if you feel good, i feel good. yeah, i am comfortable with who i am, it's just how i navigate myself as a gay man. i'm quite different, i'm more ofa quiet guy. i have always been quite a lone warrior and when i'm out and about sometimes i feel a little bit

of...| about sometimes i feel a little bit of... i don't quite fit in here and don't want to get involved with that and the mentality of this group of people is not really mine and so i end up sometimes being quite hard on myself instead of just end up sometimes being quite hard on myself instead ofjust relaxing into things. that isjust part of my own journey and that is why when people ask me the question, why do you feel the need to come out and talk about this? it's because the more we share our individual stories, the better. everyone is different. just because you come out as gay or lesbian or transgender or whatever, it is your story. the more we expose that, the more people can take something from that. you are lovely, celebrate yourself. quiet works, it does. treading your own path absolutely works. we all feel the same way. there you go. thank you, charlie, lovely talking to you. 8:17am. if you or someone you know has been affected by issues surrounding

sexuality you can find help and support on the bbc‘s actionline website, at bbc.co.uk/actionline. here‘s sarah keith—lucas with a look at this morning‘s weather. you need to stay tuned to this, storm this morning is coming. some destructive weather. the winds will strengthen today but tomorrow we will feel the brunt of that storm. there is an amber warning issued from the met office for severe gales in the south—east of england, but right across the british isles we will see there strong winds leading to some destructive, potentially some dangerous weather during the course of sunday. storm ciara is in the atlantic, already brought some severe weather to the states. it is strengthening on a strong jet stream towards uk. we had a bit of rain overnight, where the front moved its way eastwards. a bit of rain across the likes of kent over the next couple of hours. that clears away and for much of the country a lot of dry weather today. some heavy

showers for scotland and northern ireland with thunder, but gail is developing across scotland and northern ireland later on next area of heavy rain moving in here later this afternoon. for eastern scotland and the bulk of england and wales, a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, blue sky and temperature is pretty mild. seven to 11 degrees for most. gusts about 60 to 70 mph across scotla nd gusts about 60 to 70 mph across scotland and northern ireland as we head into the evening hours. bit of snow over the mountains of scotland and then m3 macro really moves in through the early hours of sunday. heavy rain for many, from the word 90, heavy rain for many, from the word 9°, -- heavy rain for many, from the word go, —— storm ciara moves in. through the day that storm will move its way gradually west to east. you can see the proximity of all these isobars particularly in between the one front and cold front where we will see some really strong winds, squally winds as a cold front moves its way gradually eastwards. these are the gusts we are expecting. widely 60 to 70 mph even inland. around the hills and coastlines, it could be up to about 80 mph.

anywhere from the english channel right towards the western isles. from the word go, some heavy rain, melted snow across scotland and northern ireland —— micro mountain snow. the rain moves away and sunshine, heavy showers with hail and squally winds across the central belt, gusts of 70, possibly 80 mph. further south across the uk, if we look at sunday, some heavy base of rain. you can see the green under this line, the cold front, is that moves eastwards across england and wales for the afternoon it will bring some really strong squally winds up to about 80 mph. as storm ciara moves across the uk it will bring severe gales, we are likely to see some disruption to transport and travel as well as the potential for power cuts with possibly some trees down and some really large waves around the coast. it‘s quite a long—lived storm. still very windy on monday, not as windy as sunday, but it remains unsettled into the new working week with further strong winds, heavy showers and into monday

and tuesday some snowfall over the mountains in the north. destructive weather, lots of warnings in voice and you can keep up—to—date with them on our website. ok, thank you very much. speak to you later. earlier this week we were speaking to members of chinese communities in north—west england who told us about some of the discrimination they‘ve faced as a result of the coronavirus. let‘s just hear what sam phan told us. he‘s a student from manchester. on campus there has been a lot of fear against international students, the majority of them do come from china, and so i‘ve heard this discourse where home students are afraid to go to university libraries because they are worried about being infected by the virus orjust kind of this talk about, you know, it being worried about spending time with chinese people just in case. some of my friends who are into asian at all will send me screenshots from their group chats

with housemates and flatmates and they are kind of seeing this kind of anti—asian sentiment almost, where there is this fear of chinese people. it something that really resonated with lots of people. sadly sam‘s story was not unique and other chinese communities in the uk — five thousand miles away from the outbreak — are also facing fear and suspicion. fiona lamdin has been to bristol to find out more. this supermarket in the centre of bristol has been serving the chinese community here for four decades, but its owners say since the outbreak of the coronavirus business has been slow. fewer people, takeaways are quieter, so they‘re not coming out to buy their goods for their restaurants and things. so it‘s definitely more quiet than usual. one of their loyal customers is ni zhang. he and his family have lived in bristol for 14 years. he hasn‘t been back to china forfour. our main concern isn‘t the virus

itself, it‘s how we‘ve been treated. discrimination against the whole asian is my main concern. i have got two children and they‘re both at school age, and they‘ve been reported at their school. some asian children have been called "coronavirus lady, you should go back to your country". i've got acquaintances and friends and they've been showing their experiences — how people are not wanting to sit next to them on public transport, packed train, but there are gaps on either side of them and people see them pulling up their collars and stuff like that. and it's... people shouldn't feel ostracised just because they look east asian. there are 4,000 chinese living in bristol. 200 go to chinese church here. but as of last sunday, they‘re encouraging vulnerable worshippers to stay at home and join in online. the younger kids and probably

the elderly, they are very prone to getting the virus, as well, so on the precaution side, we want them to be able to enjoy the service in a safe environment. was there a drop in the congregation? there was a drop in number but still around two—thirds of the congregation came. it‘s notjust in bristol. in yorkshire, students have reported being singled out for abuse. one community worker in sheffield says she‘s been contacted by many students. i had a report sent to me on thursday evening about a girl walking down west street wearing a mask, that was insulted, nudged and comments made to her about why she was wearing a mask. and attractions across cumbria that rely on tourism have struggled since the outbreak. this spa in the lake district is suffering. normally filled with chinese visitors, many of the groups have cancelled.

there are cancellations or some groups that aren‘t materialising. there are actually still groups from china being booked in, but further into the year. nobody as far as i know is aware of when the coronavirus will be contained. the coronavirus has affected thousands, closed borders and put parts of china in lockdown. 5,000 miles away in the uk, communities are feeling the effects. fiona lamdin, bbc news. we will have more coverage in connection with coronavirus through the programme this morning. 8:25am. time to look at the papers. the artist mackenzie thorpe is here. are you well? i am well. you've picked out this story. the scandal of sectioned dementia patients. this isa

of sectioned dementia patients. this is a telegraph investigation, what is a telegraph investigation, what is this about? i rarely read newspapers and i never knew anything about this and it came this morning. iam very about this and it came this morning. i am very upset, very angry. it, put simply... if there are problems, which could be physical violence, whatever, then dementia patients are being put into mental institutions where the staff are not able to work with them properly. the environment is wrong. my father, he had dementia, and my mother—in—law, and we went in the hospital to see my father and he said, we went in the hospital to see my fatherand he said, oh, yes, mr thorpe is in this room. we went into the room, nice room, it wasn‘t him! it was someone... it was someone else. then they took us to another room where he was on the bed, crying. my but dad is massive and he was this little thing on the bed, and he died. up there is nothing you can do. anybody could be a victim in

the future. and it makes me so angry that that person can be taken away from the family into hospital and you are waiting for them to go through the suffering, and then taken to an institution and if you wa nt to taken to an institution and if you want to bring them home and they have been section, you can‘t! you cannot get your mum and dad home again. you've highlighted this, the telegraph story that more than 25,000 people, patients, have been sectioned in the past five years. yeah, yes. this is a lot of people. it is so sad, so sad. we are panicking about so many hundreds or thousands in china at the moment, which is really sad, and the whole world is coming together and trying to do something about it. how long have we been going on at this and how long do we have to go on like this? to lock them away is so wrong. how does it make you feel? the department of health and social care has said it wants to make england

the best country in the world for dementia care and it is working, the nhs is committed to eliminating out of area placements, patients can get the right care at the right time and is close to home as possible. it is about modernising the mental health act and making sure people affected do have a greater say in how they are treated, but it comes down to actually communicating with families, as well. totally, totally. imagine you had just found out your pa rents imagine you had just found out your pa re nts ha d imagine you had just found out your parents had gone somewhere else miles away and it is called a mental institution. right? you know, iwas brought up, respect your elders... and i hope somebody respects me one day. it is such an important story. as you say, it will affect almost every family in one way or another. yes, yes. why don't we take... we we re yes, yes. why don't we take... we were remembering kirk douglas this week. you had interviewed michael,

speaking about him. he died at the age of 103. he will be focused in some of the papers and you picked this out from the express. it is oscar week and my thought was, how the movies and the art of the movies, the music, the actors, can change one‘s perspective, even a life. i drew all my childhood, i wrote poetry, i couldn‘t figure things out and i was in an environment that didn‘t really work. the north—east, you were a man, and the shipyard, and i was an artist. i was 14 years old, lost for life comes on and there was this guy passionate about the flower, this quy: passionate about the flower, this guy, just want to draw. that‘s what iam! i‘m an guy, just want to draw. that‘s what i am! i‘m an artist! and itsjust changed my life, it really changed my life. i‘m not thanking vincent

van gogh, i‘m thinking kirk douglas for betraying that character that allowed me, this kid in the north—east, to understand about passion. by his own admission, so many people think about in relation to those roles, the vikings, and as you say, that brought something out in you. oh i heard him say once that‘s done when said to him, don‘t play that role, it‘s fort nancys. you be a cowboy. he went ahead and did itand you be a cowboy. he went ahead and did it and a lot of people said not to but he did. hejust lost did it and a lot of people said not to but he did. he just lost the oscar. 1956, the year i was born.” love your engagement in these stories. we have only got through to, we will get through some more. headlines coming up, we will see shortly.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up before nine, we‘ll be meeting the surgeon who is back at the operating table after having both of his legs amputated. but first a summary of this

morning‘s main news. video footage has emerged from china which appears to show officials forcibly rounding—up people suspected of having the coronavirus. multiple unverified videos — like this one — show the so—called quarantine squads at work. more than 700 people have now died as a result of the virus, with more than 34,000 infected. pressure is mounting on the prime minister over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms giant huawei to be involved in uk‘s 5g network. four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps asking those with concerns to speak up. yesterday the us vice—president mike pence described the decision to include huawei in the network as "disappointing". the government insists the move followed a "rigorous" review. polls have opened for voting in ireland‘s general election — the first one ever held there on a saturday. prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling

stations — and to make it easier for students and those working away from home to vote. residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. more than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday — that‘s more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. the home office said that five inflatable boats had been intercepted. five emergency responders have been taken to hospital for precautionary checks after a suspected chemical incident in stoke—on—trent. police and other emergency services were called to a house in the northwood area of the city yesterday evening, where the body of a woman was found. her death is being treated as unexplained. staffordshire police said suspected hazardous materials were at the scene. those are the main stories, but

there are plenty of stories waiting to be told in six nations today. there‘s so much hyperbole about it, but today we have so much action. who is playing who? we have wales against ireland, and then we have one of the oldest competition, the oldest, in fact, the calcutta cup, ingram taking on scotland at murrayfield. let‘s get a bit more on that. austin, wales are the reigning champions, and they were victorious in this fixture last year. the question is, can they win in dublin? that's a very good question. they have not won here in dublin for six nations through many years, so it

would be a big test for wales and their head coach wayne pivac. the grand slam is very much on the table after the opening round wins, first wins for both sets of new head coaches, as well. going onto ireland, their head coach has taken over after a very disappointing year for ireland, they had a poor six nations, and then left the world cup much earlier than they would have liked. andy farrell was the assistant head coach through all of that, now he is the head coach for the first time. a good start for ireland, went out of scotland last week, but the challenge really stepped up now as they welcome wales. wales riding a high after that thrashing of italy last weekend, 42—0, they beat the italians. but they have not won here for eight years, so it is a big test for eight years, so it is a big test for them. wayne pivac says it will be the greatest test of his

managerial career so far, so it would be a big showdown in a few hours. i suppose, there‘s much expectations on ireland, but they were really disappointing, so they have something to prove. they certainly do, because going backjust before la st do, because going backjust before last year, irish rugby was at an all—time high. they were the number ranked side in the world, they beat the all blacks on this pitch behind me, irish rugby fans are used to the high life, but it all changed last year after a really poor six nations, and then they were knocked out of the world cup in disappointing fashion, so they have a point to prove. they started well against scotland, but it wasn't the most convincing win. they need to first win under farrell on the

books. it wasn't the most glamorous start for ireland, but they need to step up against reigning champions wales later today. let‘s head over to edinburgh now and sarah mulkerrins who‘s outside murrayfield. sarah — the calcutta cup... there are so many cliches around this one, the old enemies... the intensity — the war of words.. and we don‘t always get the result we might expect do we?— certainly a fixture that brings in intense rivalry and unpredictable results. good morning from edinburgh, murrayfieldjust results. good morning from edinburgh, murrayfield just behind me. the city is slowly waking up ahead of this historic fixture, 149 years it has been going, the calcutta cup between scotland and england. england do traditionally dominate. off the past ten

encounters, scotland had only won once, but we had a sensational draw at twickenham, scotland coming and fighting to a draw, so there is a lot of ferocity on the pitch in this fixture, and there has been a lot of fighting talk from both camps. the england flanker, lewis ludlum, he has called it a war. he said, they hate us, we hate them. the choice of words has caused some consternation around both countries, and they think there has been no need to speak that way, because ahead of the france game there was a lot of hyperbole, which backfired, a loss for england and france. question marks for eddie jones over his selection, particularly over tom currie at numbereight, selection, particularly over tom currie at number eight, tom currie does still start in that position,

although he is not that familiar with it. it certainly feels like a long time ago from the final in japan. scotland lost in ireland last week, but as we heard, they came out of it with a lot of credit, because one thing about gregor townsend as he loves attacking rugby, he loves the flairand he loves attacking rugby, he loves the flair and running in tries, he loves attacking rugby, he loves the flairand running in tries, but there has been question marks over whether they can really stay in the fight later on, whether they can be more pragmatic, and that is certainly something they have been talking about, that they have learned from that world cup disappointment. he is trying to get them better on defence, more aggression, and to stay in things right again, not be so naive. very ha rd right again, not be so naive. very hard to call, no one wants to call it, this week, really. none of the pundits can predict it. it brings the drama and the hype. we know we have storm ciara on the way, we will have storm ciara on the way, we will have a bit of bluster on the pitch. looking forward to it. i cannot

wait, a great day of rugby. there will be commentary of ireland against wales and radio five live, and there will be coverage of england and scotland as well. let‘s take a step away from the rugby for the moment — we need to talk football. eilidh barbour is here. got all six nations were represented. what have you got for us? it is a power half-hour for us, for premier league fixtures across the weekend, and we will be speaking about those and hearing from the goalkeeper from one of the surprise packages in the premiership this season, sheffield. we have done that

we get to 40 points we ain't stopping at 40 points. first season in the premier league, were all set, no, we want to get all the way to the europa league. if we get to the europa league, why not go to the champions league? self belief is important, isn‘t it? champions league? self belief is important, isn't it? you only get one shot at it. you have to play as official last game and be confident. you have a short time to leave a little legacy behind, so you always wa nt little legacy behind, so you always want to develop and get better, but you got to back your own ability at the same time. so, great season for sheffield united, they play bournemouth tomorrow. we will check in with the early kick—off to, and we also have an interview with jimmy flaherty,

early kick—off to, and we also have an interview withjimmy flaherty, a really powerful and brave interview that she gives, when she was a teenager dealing with things in her life that almost led to her taking her own life, and she has spoken about this in the hope that it will help people talk and speak out, and it is really powerful interview with jilly. and once someone does decide to speak up, it‘s very hard, but it‘s very competitive. to speak up, it‘s very hard, but it's very competitive. and it's a surprise to some of her team—mates when they heard the story, because she is a central defender, she is all power, she's all action on the pitch, and she is struggling so much

offered, so it's a really powerful interview that gilly has done, so we will talk a bit about that, as well. then we will take a look at the afl, the championship. don't think it has gone unnoticed, your subliminal message to scotland, on your arm. it's message to scotland, on your arm. it‘s there! we noticed. message to scotland, on your arm. it's there! we noticed. need to bring the power at murrayfield today. break it up, break it up! see later. israel folau won‘t be making his superleague debut for catalans dragons against wakefield tomorrow — not because of the controversy surrounding his signing, but because he‘s not match—ready. last night, castleford beat wigan 16—12 and danny houghton marked his 350th appearance for hull fc with a try, as they won the derby

against hull kr, by 25 points to 16. england‘s cricketers have to win the final one—day international against south africa tomorrow to avoid a series defeat, after the second match in durban had to be abandonded due to persistent rain. it had already already been reduced to 26 overs a side and south africa were 71 for 2 when it was called off. england suffered a heavy defeat in the opening game. great britain have a job on their hands, to reach the fed cup finals. they‘re 2—0 down to slovakia in bratislava, after heather watson lost the opening singles, and harriet dart saved five match points before she was beaten in a really tight three—setter by viktoria kuzmova. it‘s a best—of—five tie, so britain need to win both reverse singles and the doubles today, to go through — and you can watch it on the bbc sport website and app.

busy day all round, but looking forward to the rugby. and afternoon sat watching both matches. would you watch it as well? no, i'm going straight from football focus to blackburn— fulham. i'm sure i get it up blackburn— fulham. i'm sure i get it up on the phone or something. blackburn— fulham. i'm sure i get it up on the phone or somethingm blackburn— fulham. i'm sure i get it up on the phone or something. it is quarter to nine, sarah will have the weather in about five or six minutes. a surgeon who has amputated thousands of limbs during his career has returned to work after having both of his legs removed. neil hopper needed the surgery after he became seriously ill with sepsis ten months ago — but he‘s already back at the operating table. let‘s have a look at his story. neil hopper is about to perform in amputation. so, his right foot is dead. as a skilled vascular surgeon, it should bejust another routine operation. so, i think we are just going to go vessel by vessel, and nice and gently. but this time, it‘s different.

this is an operation i‘ve done hundreds of times, and it is an operation i have done throughout my career, and, yes, there is a small possibility that i could freeze. last april, on a day like any other, neil began to feel unwell. ifelt a bit achy, so i took a couple of paracetamol, and a glass of whisky, and went to bed. neil had contracted sepsis, where the body reacts to an infection by attacking its own organs and tissues. i woke up after the operation and i couldn‘t quite work out if they had done it or not, because i could still feel that my feet were there, and it was only later, when i was sort of a bit more with it, i could look down and i just remember seeing the bedclothes were flat where my feet would be. neil hopperjoins us now.

just tell us, how are you? very well, thank you. almost back to normal, which is quite amazing. didn't normal, which is quite amazing. didn‘t think i‘d ever get. normal, which is quite amazing. didn't think i'd ever get. so, you carried out operations, could you ta ke carried out operations, could you take is to the basics of what happened to you ? take is to the basics of what happened to you? so, currently in pretty much back to work, just slightly less than full—time, and on a phased return. i‘m doing everything that i normally do, but doing thejob that everything that i normally do, but doing the job that i love. how have your colleagues reacted? when i initially became unwell back in april, i was admitted to my own hospital, so, through a twist of fate, i needed some treatment that could only be provided at plymouth, so thankfully i got removed to the hospital so my colleagues didn‘t have to look after me or operate on

me. i think i might‘ve too much! they are friends, so it goes beyond that whole caring thing. you‘re back to work, ten months is a very quick turnaround. i think this is obviously testament to your own mental and emotional strength, but determination tojust mental and emotional strength, but determination to just get back to the table. yeah, initially this that imight not the table. yeah, initially this that i might not be able to go back to doing my full duties, so i set myself a target to get back, and also set myself what i thought was an unrealistic target of six months, and actually made it, so i was back to paperwork after six months, but didn‘t get into the operating theatre until recently. a you think spring to mind, what do people want from a surgeon? one, they want the availability, they want the scale, and then maybe you want empathy. you wa nt and then maybe you want empathy. you want some empathy from your surgeon. so, you have operated on people, you have an amputated legs, now you are

ina similar have an amputated legs, now you are in a similar situation yourself, how is it changed ? in a similar situation yourself, how is it changed? i had a sort of academic understanding of an amputation, and i thought i knew what it means, but what i didn‘t gather was that it changes everything. it changes the way you move around the world, it changes the way other people see you, but it also changes the way you think about yourself. it‘s quite a change from being pretty much able—bodied one minute to having to rely on prosthetics or wheelchairs. how has that manifested when you are talking to patients? before or after operations. so, it's a small place, so basically only patients know about it, so i do feel i can empathise with them and took a bit more, but also i can point to hazards and things that might crop up hazards and things that might crop up that i would have never mentioned before. one thing you have also

learned is the after—care, and use of prosthetics, the availability of good prosthetics and care. i imagine it is something, when you are a surgeon before, that was for someone else to do with. it was the next phase, the patient was out of your hands. i absolutely lived in a hospital bubble, where i did the operation and the patients were discharged, and we just all assumed they were being looked after. it feels like you‘re being dropped off a cliff when you leave hospital. go from being pampered and looked after two going home and just sat staring out the window, sat there with no one to talk to, and it suddenly dawned on me what has happened. so it isa dawned on me what has happened. so it is a bit ofa dawned on me what has happened. so it is a bit of a slump. we have talked a bit about the professional side of your story, what about the personal side? you mentioned your kids. how has that been? i imagine

with the roller—coaster of emotions you must have all gone through during the course of what happened and where you are now. my wife has been fantastic, purely supported. my kids, my daughter, who is ten, she was a bit upset by it, that my son, who is six, just think it‘s great, cool who is six, just think it‘s great, cool, robot legs, daddy! so, your daughter was scared, worried about how it would be? after my operation, she wanted me to keep the bedclothes over my legs for half an hour, and then she slowly peeled it back, and she was ok with it eventually, but, yeah, she was a bit more timid about it, but harry just yeah, she was a bit more timid about it, but harryjust thought it was great. when are you back working? i will be back to full time hopefully in about eight weeks‘ time, but i have got six months off overnight on calls, which i will enjoy! just keep

at it, it‘s a brilliant story, and so interesting to see how transformative it so interesting to see how tra nsformative it has so interesting to see how transformative it has been, notjust physically but in terms of you and yourjob and the care you can give. it has in many ways made you better at yourjob. i hope so. you can hear more about neil‘s story on inside out south west on monday evening at 7.30 on bbc one, or you can catch up on the bbc iplayer. i promise you that sarah will keep you up—to—date with storm kero. she has lots of information for you. storm kero approach in the uk, an amber warning from the met office, we are all going to be feeling the strength of those severe gales. not only those strong winds, but also high tides, and heavy rain around,

too. storm kero is out in the atlantic, —— storm ciara, out in the atlantic. gail is developing across scotla nd atlantic. gail is developing across scotland and northern ireland later on. gusts of around 60 to 70 miles an hour with heavy rain moving in later in the day. for eastern scotla nd later in the day. for eastern scotland and the book of england and wales, quite a lot of dry weather, blue skies and sunshine. pretty mild out there today, but you will notice that strengthening wind, particularly in the north west. the winds strengthen further as we move through this evening and overnight. rain moving eastwards, and some melting snow across scotland, as well, but it is only on sunday that storm ciara arrives in the west, and ona storm ciara arrives in the west, and on a windy, mild notes wherever you

are. it will move east through the day, here it is on the pressure map, and you can see the proximity of others isobars here, particularly on those cold fronts, whether you will see some of the strongest gusts of wind through the day, 60s turns 70 miles an hour even in line, on the coasts it could be up to 80 miles an hour, anywhere from the english channel to the western isles. let‘s concentrate on the northern half of the uk for sunday. heavy rain through the mountains, thundery showers with hail, score the winds gusting, and 70 possibly 80 miles an hour, enough to be causing significant disruption. in the south, heavy bursts of rain, strong gusts of wind, and as it swiss to the makeshift south, not only thunderstorms but strong wind gusts, up thunderstorms but strong wind gusts, up to 80 miles an hour. through

tomorrow, storm ciara is going to cause severe disruption, disruption to travel, and potentialfor cause severe disruption, disruption to travel, and potential for power cuts with trees down and large waves around the coast, too, and it‘s a fairly long—lived storm, so into monday and tuesday, not as bad as sunday, but very unsettled with heavy showers, falling with sleet and snow in the northern half of the uk, so keep tuned, lots of weather and potential for disruption for many of us tomorrow. hollywood is gearing up for its biggest night of the year tomorrow — the academy awards. but if you need an antidote to all that back—slapping, the nominations for the razzies have just been announced. they‘re the "anti—oscars" for the worst movies. film critic emily murray can tell us more.

the rises were sort of parked away from the rest of the movies, they now arrive essential. yes, they're quite sensual now. i think we should talk about cats, which is one of the worst or did you see it? it is traumatising. i‘m not sure if you seen the photos and stuff, but the cgi seen the photos and stuff, but the c6! is seen the photos and stuff, but the cgi isjust seen the photos and stuff, but the cgi is just horrendous, seen the photos and stuff, but the cgi isjust horrendous, and it has eight nominations, which is the joint most amount of nominations. how has it done in the box office? i know it has been absolutely panned by critics, but if you're a lover of... in my local cinema, there were

about six people walked out. i‘ve not met a single person yet who has enjoyed it. it‘s just not met a single person yet who has enjoyed it. it‘sjust so not met a single person yet who has enjoyed it. it‘s just so we to watch. eight awards, brilliant. what is that cover? worst actor, worst director, judi dench is up for worst actor, and... judi dench is up for worst actor? well, there is a thing. yes, and it‘s interesting, because... she has got human hands in the film, because they didn‘t finish the cg! in time, so they had to edit it back and release it. i think the directors said they would finish it atm before the worlds premier. so is there. anne hathaway up premier. so is there. anne hathaway upfor premier. so is there. anne hathaway up for worst actress. also, the redeemer, jennifer lopez. a lot of

kick back with the oscars. what is this redeemer award? so, this is a previous razzies winner, who has made good. she missed out on best actress oscar, so this is great. adam sandler is interesting, because he has won one of the most amount of razzies, and he is back for a redeemer award, for uncut gems, which is incredible. he said, if you wasn‘t nominated for an oscar, he would go back to making bad films, soi would go back to making bad films, so i imagine we will see him back at the razzies again. so, what about rambo? this is rambo...? last blood.

it was criticised for xenophobia and racism, so, sylvester stallone up for worst actor, it is a biofilm. quite a lot of the stars who have been nominated now turn up for this. yes, it is good fun, and they recognise that. i think they came back from the funeral from cats, they recognise it‘s not the greatest form of the world, so they laugh at. it's form of the world, so they laugh at. it‘s almost a badge of honour. form of the world, so they laugh at. it's almost a badge of honour. yeah, i want arazi! —— a razzies. headline is coming

to but he did. he just lost the oscar. 1956, the year i was born. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. growing anger in china as authorities forcibly detain people suspected of having the coronavirus.

thousands of passengers confined to their cabins onboard the diamond princess — more than 60 people are infected with the virus. six senior conservative mps try to pressure borisjohnson into rethinking huawei‘s involvement in the uk‘s 5g telecom networks. good morning. a huge day in the six nations coming up — all the home sides in action, including rugby‘s oldest rivalry, the calcutta cup — it‘s scotland against england at murrayfield. good morning. the weather is likely to cause some disruption through the weekend as storm ciara is approaching. we have strong winds today for scotland and northern ireland. widely across the uk, disruptive winds tomorrow. large waves around the coast and heavy rainfall, too. i‘ll have all your details throughout the programme. it‘s saturday the 8th of february. our top story. authorities in china have been forcibly rounding—up people suspected of having the coronavirus.

as other countries try to control the spread, a british honeymooner is among more than 60 people who have tested positive for the virus on board a cruise ship quarantined off the coast of japan. greg mckenzie reports. as more and more cases of coronavirus are being reported, these unverified videos show chinese authorities at work. house—to—house searches, rounding up the sick. it‘s all adding to a growing sense of fear and dread. a child says, "i don‘t want to be taken away like that." in hong kong, a mandatory two—week quarantine has been ordered for anyone arriving from mainland china. visitors are being told to isolate themselves in hotel rooms or go to government—run centres, while returning hong kong residents have been ordered

to stay inside their homes. but the whole idea is really for this person to stay at home and not to go out so that in case they carry any virus, it will not be transmitted to the rest of the community. there have been more than 31,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in mainland china, with more than 716 deaths. outside china, at least 270 cases have been confirmed in at least 25 countries. there are three confirmed cases in the uk. a third patient caught coronavirus at a business conference in singapore. he‘s currently being treated at st thomas‘ hospital in central london. the two other uk cases are being treated at the royal victoria infirmary infectious diseases centre in newcastle.

just off the coast of japan, 61 people — including one british national — have tested positive for the virus on a cruise ship. alan steele from wolverhampton, who was on his honeymoon with his wife, wendy, is among those to be taken away for hospital treatment. tomorrow, at least 150 british citizens are expected to arrive back in the uk on the final repatriation flight coming in from wuhan. they‘ll be taken to a training and conference venue on the outskirts of milton keynes. the foreign office is advising all british nationals who are in china to leave the country if they can to reduce the risk of infection. greg mckenzie, bbc news. our china correspondent stephen mcdonelljoins us from beijing — where he‘s in self—imposed quarantine.

we in self—imposed quarantine. havejust we in self—imposed quarantine. have just seen some c images we have just seen some of those images of those people being forcibly detained by the chinese authorities. it feels that that is a new step in the way they are trying to react to the problems there. right across china, officials are looking to more and more strict ways of preventing this virus emergency from getting worse. and the way in which these compulsory quarantine measures are put in place differs from city to city. even within cities, it is different, because thatis cities, it is different, because that is the way things work here in terms of the authorities and how they are handling the situation. for example, in hong kong, if you don‘t go along with that quarantine audit from the government, people there are being threatened with prison timejust to are being threatened with prison time just to really ram are being threatened with prison timejust to really ram home are being threatened with prison time just to really ram home the importance of doing this. in most places it‘s not that necessary

because if you are told to stay at home, if you have been in one of the areas, like i have in hubei province, where the coronavirus is at its worst, most people seem content at its worst, most people seem co nte nt to at its worst, most people seem content to do that, to stay at home, not infect others, and for that reason it doesn‘t seem to be such a big problem in terms of convincing people to stay in. because right across the country, these chinese cities are dead right now. where i am in beijing, if you walk out into the street, there is virtually nobody out there. the whole chinese economy is kind of ground to a quasi—halt. in theory next week people are supposed to be going back to work but many businesses have told their staff, don‘t come in, work from home. it is going to take a long time, many months in fact, for this all to be sorted out and things to return to anything like normal in china. for the moment, thank you. pressure is mounting

on the prime minister borisjohnson over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms firm huawei to be involved in uk‘s 5g network. four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps, asking those with concerns to speak out. let‘s get more on this from our political correspondent matt cole, who is in our london newsroom. there is pressure, but i wonder if anyone will actually be listening. the pressure is notjust from the uk, of course, bearing that in mind. indeed. as well as the six mps including former cabinet ministers like sarah iain duncan smith, david davis and others, they are writing to fellow mps trying to get a consensus to effectively squeeze while way out of the 5g market, to taper off their involvement —— to squeeze huawei out. the us vice president has been speaking in an interview and mystic pens said he is

—— mike pence has said he is disappointed about the involvement of huawei. he was asked on cnbc whether this could impact on a trade deal to in the us and the uk and he said, well, we will have to wait and see. not good news for downing street, for number 10, who have granted huawei the right to up to 35% of the infrastructure, albeit not the core. these mps have written today and have suggested that they think this is not a trusted vendor. it is too close to the chinese government. they fear it will allow the chinese government, although huawei has said itself it would rather shut down its company, as the founder has said, than let the chinese spy through its technology. thank you very much for bringing us up—to—date. polls have opened for voting in ireland‘s general election — the first one ever held there on a saturday. prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations — and to make it easier

for students and those working away from home to vote. residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. more than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday — that‘s more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. the home office said that five inflatable boats had been intercepted. five emergency responders have been taken to hospital for precautionary checks after a suspected chemical incident in stoke—on—trent. police and other emergency services were called to a house in the northwood area of the city yesterday evening, where the body of a woman was found. her death is being treated as unexplained. staffordshire police said suspected hazardous materials were at the scene. facebook‘s social media accounts were hacked overnight by activists claiming they want to show flaws in cyber security. a group which calls itself our mine targeted the firm‘s twitter and instagram feeds and posted messages saying that "even facebook is hackable". the accounts have now been restored. it follows a similar attack on teams in america‘s national

football league last month. a record high temperature has been logged on the continent of antarctica. a reading of 18.3 degrees celsius beat the previous record by almost a degree. antarctica‘s peninsula — the area that points towards south america — is one of the fastest—warming places on earth, heating by almost three degrees over the past 50 years. one than here in antarctica. extraordinary. unbelievable. it is 9:10am. if you were watching breakfast on thursday, you might have seen our interview with marie mccourt. her daughter helen was murdered by a man who has just been released from prison on parole, despite never revealing the location of her body. in a moment we‘ll speak to samantha gillingham, who got in touch with us after seeing marie‘s story. she finds herself in a similar situation, but the killer in question is her own father. samantha‘s mum, carole packman, disappeared from the family home in 1985.

for years, samantha believed she had left of her own accord. eventually she discovered that her father, russell causley, was to blame. he was jailed for carol‘s murder in 1996 and is currently serving a life sentence. russell causley has repeatedly refused to say what he did with carol‘s body — and now samantha fears he‘ll be released on parole without ever having to tell the whole story. let‘s talk to samantha now. she‘s in northamptonshire, with her son neil. very good morning to you, and thank you for your time this morning. people will have just heard what a terrible tragedy at your family has been through. this is a dreadful ordeal and one that is clearly being dragged out for you, even further, by the knowledge that the person responsible is refusing to give you details of where her body is. can you explain what impact that is on

you explain what impact that is on you and your family? hello, good morning. it‘s relentless, as far as the pressure that that puts onto us. and particularly over the past five yea rs, and particularly over the past five yea rs , we and particularly over the past five yea rs, we have and particularly over the past five years, we have been repeatedly asked to submit statements to the parole board to a victim impact statement. the pressure is on. just over a year ago my father was recommended to be put into an open prison. we managed to get that reversed. however we are being asked the question again. we are not given an exact time as to when this is going to be. we are on notice again sometime between now and possiblyjune notice again sometime between now and possibly june that notice again sometime between now and possiblyjune that there will be another hearing and it‘s hard work. the realistic proposition, and i know you saw marie talking on the

programme. you know exactly how she feels in terms of how much it eats away at you, the notion that someone could be free whilst withholding that knowledge. he should never have been released. we are scrabbling now. we are waiting for helen‘s law as to whether or not that will give us what we need, the parole board a p pa re ntly us what we need, the parole board apparently took that into account when they considered with regard to sims being released and we find it may be the same with our father. my mother has been missing for 35 years thisjune. mother has been missing for 35 years this june. my father has mother has been missing for 35 years thisjune. my father has submitted a statement where he went into quite graphic detailfrom statement where he went into quite graphic detail from his statement where he went into quite graphic detailfrom his prison cell as to what he did with my mother backin as to what he did with my mother back in 1985, only for a police time, etc, looking into that account and then for him to retract that

account and say that it wasn‘t correct. at the same time, the pa role correct. at the same time, the parole board are also asking the question, what are your thoughts right now as a victim on him being considered for release? it... so macro it defies belief. neil, i know you are hugely supportive of your mother and what she is trying to do. you are living this as a family. can you give a sense of how that impacts you? yeah, look, it's something that is... i've always been aware that it is... i've always been aware that it is something that is different. our family compared to most, any victim of crime, it's horrific. we are all in the same boat. with other cases, where people have been murdered, there is that period where the

adjustment, the acceptance and agreement and ultimately coming to terms... growing up, i haven't had grandparents, and we are now in a situation where my grandfather is obviously... we are being railroaded as victims, my mother is being railroaded. i have seen this break marie mccourt down, she is the bravest of the victims, inspiration for many. the recent decision is an absolute slap in the face for justice, it undermines justice. present should not be a clock watching exercise. these offenders, pa rt of watching exercise. these offenders, part of their rehabilitation is acceptance, in my opinion, and i'm not the only one. there are many mps and many professionals who say that killers need to come to terms, need to accept, need to be able to acknowledge what they have done and be able to move on with that chapter of their lives and allow victims to do the same. leaving us in limbo is not acceptable. samantha, at the height of this, even people who

haven‘t been through that kind of thing you have, people right at the heart of this is that very simple thing that feels like a right of anyone, is the right to bury their loved one. that is what this is. you presumably... that will never change for you. it will never, ever change. we set out to find my mother and i fear i‘m never, ever going to know where my mother is. and i don‘t think that it is right, i don‘t think that it is right, i don‘t think the parole board are quite listening with regards to the ongoing impact and the fear that thatis ongoing impact and the fear that that is never going to happen. and that is never going to happen. and that somebody cannot only commit murder but also can commit murder and make sure that they take that person away from you for ever, and that they hold that control and they

continue to use that control, is a crime that doesn‘t quite ever end. it is continuous. and it is hard work, you know? all we want is we just want to be able to have our loved ones back and we just want to be able to put them somewhere safe so that we know where they are and does macro on release, as well, what happens when they are released? what happens when they are released? what happens to the bodies? they can go back and visit the grave they have created, but we can't. how is that human? sims, and my grandfather, when they die, they will be given burial, but their victims are not. how is that fair, just, in the uk, in this year? i think, as well, that the parole board has said it is arbitrary to keep sims or my father,

they would say the same thing, it is arbitrate to keep those in prison and that they might not be able to tell us where their remains are. it isn‘t a case with regard to the fact that they made that decision. when they committed that crime they made that decision and they have done everything they possibly can continually and continued to evade ca ptu re. continually and continued to evade capture. they are deceitful, they are playing the system. really appreciate you does macro absolutely, listen, a lot of people watching who will be full of empathy. i know it‘s not easy to talk about and thank you for sharing this story with us. many thanks to you. alongside marie mccourt, so many people said, such bravery in those circumstances, so thank you very much to both of you. thank you, thank you. we requested a statement from the ministry ofjustice but we we re from the ministry ofjustice but we were referred instead to parole board guidance on the website.

9:18am. lots of people will have plans across the weekend. some will be going to watch a six nations by be going to watch a six nations rugby and they might be interested in knowing how the storm is going to play out. good morning. the winds will be picking up today but tomorrow we are more concerned about across the uk. there is an amber warning invoice from the met office. storm ciara on the way, will cause significant disruption across many parts of the british isles. the third main storm of the season, probably the most destructive so far. the storm has already brought severe weather across parts of the northeast united states. it is now moving across the atlantic, driven by really strong jet streams. strengthening all the time. moving towards i choice. we had rain overnight on this frontal system, it will clear the south—east over the next hour or so. quite a lot of dry weather out there today, but the winds pick up. gail is developing for northern ireland and scotland.

gusts of 60 to 70 mph, and heavy rain moving in. perhaps even a bit of snow over the highlands of scotland. for much of eastern scotland, england and wales, quite a lot of dry weather out there. blue sky, sunshine, but it will turn blustery wherever you are. there‘s winds strengthen further as we head through this evening and overnight initially for scotland and northern ireland and strong winds working in widely across the uk by first thing tomorrow. as storm ciara arrives, it brings heavy rain and further snow over the mountains of scotland. to start your sunday morning, it is wet and windy from the word go. throughout the day, those winds will strengthen further. here is storm ciara. you can see the proximity of all these isobars ciara. you can see the proximity of all these isoba rs right ciara. you can see the proximity of all these isobars right across the british isles. particularly on this cold front as it moves eastward, thatis cold front as it moves eastward, that is when we are likely to see some of the strongest gusts of wind. 65 to 75 mph quite widely in land, some of those gusts, to round the coast it could be 80 mph or even more than that. particularly as we have low pressure it to the north of

scotland, a real squeeze on the isobars means very windy conditions working in here. heavy rain initially pushing eastwards and that will be followed by sunshine and scattered heavy showers and thunderstorms across scotland and northern ireland. gusts through the central belt, could be up to 70 or even 80 mph. further south across the uk, sunday, the green shell is the uk, sunday, the green shell is the heaviest bursts of rain. rain moving gradually south—eastwards. this is the cold front that will produce some of those really exceptionally strong squalid gusts of wind. an amber warning is exceptionally strong squalid gusts of wind. an amberwarning is in force for the south—east of england force for the south—east of england for gusts up to 80 mph or more. disruption likely because of storm ciara up tomorrow. we could well see problems with travel and transport. power cuts as well as large waves around the coast. at this time doesn‘t ease away in a hurry. still wendy into monday and tuesday though not quite as windy as a sunday. further heavy showers into next week and some of them will be wintry of a higher ground in the north. thanks very much. lots to take in.

let‘s get more on our main story will stop coronavirus in china. —— lets get more on our main story, the coronavirus in china. a british honeymooner is among more than 60 people who have tested positive for coronavirus on a cruise ship injapan. alan steele, who‘s 58 and from wolverhampton, has been taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. over 3,500 people are on board the diamond princess, which is quarantined in yokohama for at least two weeks. among the passengers are david and sally abel, who we can speak to now. david and sally, thank you very much for joining david and sally, thank you very much forjoining us this morning. tell us your situation, what are you up to, what is happening? well, we are on a cruise! not one we had planned to take, but we have left yokohama bay and we are now back out at sea. confined to our cabins most of the time. all passengers are allowed on deck 50 at a time, deck by deck.

it's deck 50 at a time, deck by deck. it‘s about once every three days we getan houror 90 it‘s about once every three days we get an hour or 90 minutes to stretch our legs on deck. and what does it look like when you go out on deck, how are people behaving, feeling about being quarantined at this moment in time? nobody is really talking to each other anyway. they are just going out there to walk up and down the deck. you literally go from one end to the other, turn round and come back again. we are fortunate, we have a balcony in our room, so fortunate, we have a balcony in our room, so we fortunate, we have a balcony in our room, so we have been able to get fresh airand room, so we have been able to get fresh air and get outside. but there are an awful lot of people on here with inside cabins with no windows and no natural light or itjust air conditioning. so they really do whoop forjoy conditioning. so they really do whoop for joy when conditioning. so they really do whoop forjoy when they get out! on deck, we have to wear masks all the time, so although we know some of

the people on there, you cannot see theirfacial the people on there, you cannot see their facial expressions because we are masked up and we have to stand and if we want to talk to anyone we have to be two metres apart. those i‘mnot rules from the ship, those are from japan health authority and have a quarantine health officer watching us when we are on deck.” understand you have a friend, who was on his honeymoon with his wife wendy and wendy had to be taken off the ship for treatment for coronavirus. what is her condition and is her husband still on the ship? it's the other way around. this is the honeymoon couple and it was alan who was taken off the ship yesterday afternoon. he is in a hospital near tokyo. wendy is

missing him a great deal, obviously, but they are in regular touch and alan has been in touch with me a couple of times today. if all goes well he is being tested again in a couple of days, and if he is a clear, they will test him again in 48 hours later, and if he still remains clear, he will be released from the hospital but where is he going to go? he will not be allowed back on board the ship. it's quite a quandary, isn‘t it? do you understand why you are in quarantine with white do you accept this is what is needed to contain this? is the sentiment towards this quite reasonable? yeah, i think quarantine is essentially important. i wish the uk government would send out ship or a huge plane and bring to us to the uk. i would far sooner be in the uk

under a better controlled environment than be on board the ship, to tell you the truth. it's been really good to talk to you both, david and sally. thank you very much. they are on board the diamond princess at the moment. let‘s find out some more about the impact of this outbreak on global travel — and what to do if you are thinking of cancelling a trip to east asia — with the independent‘s travel editor, simon calder. i was just writing down some notes as we were listening to their conversation. they are on a cruise, it‘s supposed to be the most delightful thing and this thing has happened. the cruise industry must be asking a lot of questions about which ships have been where, who got on board at what point. absolutely. the cruise lines industry association yesterday came out with some new rules which basically says anyone who has been anywhere near china, and this includes hong kong and macau, in the past two weeks, will not be allowed on board whether they are a passenger or a member of they are a passenger or a member of the crew. some of these cruises are

quite long. you can have one week, two weeks, six weeks. you can do, and of course this is really concerning to the cruise industry not least because it has drawn attention to the extreme success of viruses in spreading around ships. in david and sally‘s case it is extreme, where effectively you are being held prisoner on the ship, in quarantine, but you can look at a typical year, there are about ten big outbreaks of norovirus on cruise ships worldwide affecting probably a couple of thousand people and generally with an outbreak like that it is 4% or 5% of people on the ship will sadly catch it. concerning for people. worth bearing in mind, if you are particularly an older traveller, perhaps your immune system isn‘t what it might be, a cruise might not be the ideal trip for you, given the fact that viruses do multiply very easily in those circumstances. cruises aside,

holidays are being planned, have been booked. people have been getting in touch. they have. julie is going to china in september and wa nts to is going to china in september and wants to cancel and get all her money back. i‘ve had to say there are people going next month, booked to china, you are, despite the foreign office advice, which says you should not go to mainland china and if you whether you should get out, the holiday company is perfectly within its rights to say you will be going on that holiday u nless you will be going on that holiday unless something changes. if you recall the sri lankan disaster last year, the terrible east update bombings, the foreign office but sri la nka bombings, the foreign office but sri lanka won the nobel list for about six weeks, —— the foreign office put sri lanka on the no—go list for about six weeks. they will be able to reinstate holidays. certainly if you are going in september the whole picture will have changed. viruses thrive in winter. it could well be that once summer arrives we have not

quite forgotten all about it but it will be much less of a worry at. time is always constrained here. it's time is always constrained here. it‘s not just china time is always constrained here. it‘s notjust china people i worried about. southeast asia of particular concern. wendy is going to be in vietnam and cambodia on monday. she is worried about coronavirus so i said to her, look, if you want to worry about something, worry about dengue fever in cambodia, rabies in vietnam, and be very, very careful about the roads because vietnam has about the roads because vietnam has about the roads because vietnam has about the most dangerous roads in the world. don‘t worry about coronavirus unless you are going to be within very close proximity of somebody with the disease that we is -- i have been to both of those places, don‘t put wendy arthur. it is out there, be mindful, but china is out there, be mindful, but china is the very point at the moment with the travel. we have 722 deaths at

from coronavirus in china, which is less tha n from coronavirus in china, which is less than one day on the roads in terms of the normal fatalities. thank you very much for bringing us up—to—date. you‘re watching breakfast. we‘re on bbc one until ten o‘clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. matt, what‘s cooking? how are you guys? we were having a little production meeting this week, and we reckon the both of you should come down here on saturday. works for me! i‘m sure it can be arranged. don‘t sound so enthusiastic about it! i'm don‘t sound so enthusiastic about it! i‘m being giving here. don‘t sound so enthusiastic about it! i'm being giving here. i'm pleased i‘m sitting down, because i‘m in shock. i would love to. we will set a date. we will do it off—line. will set a date. we will do it off-line. my team will talk to

the genre of soup. i don't like soup, i don't like it when people eat soup in work and it smells the whole office up. i don't like anything too posh, i don't like lobster... are you just saying that because you know you might get it? we have two great chefs here, what have you got for us? i have something colourful for nick, slow cooked pork, and all in a taco. now, you bearded loony, what have you got? comfy dock with lentils, very colourful. we have only with his drinks trolley, and you can decide what nick will eat. can ijust say, we are having a discussion about soup. i‘m so with nick. why would you mash up perfectly good food and

stink atan you mash up perfectly good food and stink at an office? i love soup, i would like some soup just now. stink at an office? i love soup, i would like some soupjust now.” like solid foods, because that‘s what my teeth are designed for. so, thatis what my teeth are designed for. so, that is what you have in store when you have us both on the programme? you guys were just bickering amongst yourselves! it‘s good telly, let‘s be honest. it's just yourselves! it‘s good telly, let‘s be honest. it'sjust a nice forthright discussion! healthy debate. have a good programme! headlines coming

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up before ten, we‘ll be hearing how a caddie school at the home of golf is helping ex—service personnel to cope with life on civvy street. also, sarah will have the all—important also, sarah will have the all—importa nt weather as storm also, sarah will have the all—important weather as storm keira is on the way. a british national in france has been diagnosed with the coronovirus — according to the french health minister. the british citizen is among five new cases in france. more than 700 people have now died as a result of the virus — with more than 34,000 infected. pressure is mounting on the prime minister over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms giant huawei to be involved in uk‘s 5g network. four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps asking those with concerns to speak up.

yesterday the us vice—president mike pence described the decision to include huawei in the network as "disappointing". the government insists the move followed a "rigorous" review. polls have opened for voting in ireland‘s general election — the first one ever held there on a saturday. prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations — and to make it easier for students and those working away from home to vote. residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. five emergency responders have been taken to hospital for precautionary checks after a suspected chemical incident in stoke—on—trent. police and other emergency services were called to a house in the northwood area of the city yesterday evening, where the body of a woman was found. her death is being treated as unexplained. staffordshire police said suspected hazardous materials were at the scene. a record high temperature has been logged on the continent of antarctica. a reading of 18.3 degrees celsius beat the previous record by almost a degree.

—— 8.3 degrrees. antarctica‘s peninsula — the area that points towards south america — is one of the fastest warming places on earth, heating by almost three degrees over the past 50 years. those are the plenty of sport to look forward to. yes, good morning. two massive games in the six nations. later on, the calcutta cup. it has so much history. england at murrayfield against scotland, but for that it‘s higher than toasting wales, the reigning champions. let‘s go straight to dublin. austin is there for us at the aviva stadium. way also the reigning champions, aren‘t they? they were the victors last time, but the big question is, can they win in dublin?

that is the big question everyone will be asking today. dublin, where the final preparations are being made. this is a picture wales haven't won for a year is in the six nations, but both sets of fans will have woken up knowing that the grand slam is still very much alive, and on the table for them both after the wins last weekend. they were wins for the new head coach. in terms of ireland, andy farrell is leading them forward after a disappointing year for irish rugby last year. he was the assistant coach throughout all that, now he is the head coach for the very first time. he has never been a head coach at international level before, so it is a big test for him, but they got off toa a big test for him, but they got off to a good start with a win against scotland, and it will be delighted to be back in dublin, because they have only lost one of the last 17

matches on this pitch, select shows a test will be for wales. wales do come into this field with confidence after that 42—0 thrashing of italy la st after that 42—0 thrashing of italy last weekend, however their head coach wayne pivac is under no illusions as to what the test is going to be. he says it could be the biggest challenge of his managerial career so biggest challenge of his managerial career so far. building up to be a great game here in dublin, it will bea great game here in dublin, it will be a close one i'm sure. an absolute thriller. let‘s head over to edinburgh now and sarah mulkerrins who‘s outside murrayfield. sarah — the calcutta cup. so many cliches, but we don‘t always get the result you might expect.” know, the old enemies, scotland against england. no matter the sport, it does bring that intense, ferocious rivalry. it is the oldest trophy in rugby union history, the

calcutta cup, an hundred and 49 years, who had the latest instalment here at murrayfield a little bit later as the city of edinburgh wakes up later as the city of edinburgh wakes up ahead of that historic fixture. we don't always get the result we expect, but england do traditionally dominate. over the last ten years, scotland have only won once, two years ago here at murrayfield. at twickenham we had a thrilling draw, england got a massive lead at half—time, and scott and came right back into it. there could be could be onto something special today. you look at scotland, for the last couple of years under gregor townsend, they brought brilliant attacking flair, but one criticism has been that they have been a little bit naive in defence, that they don't quite stay in the games, and that has been the big message coming in from the scotland cap, that they have learnt that. we saw that they have learnt that. we saw that in their defeat to ireland. they lost, but they came out of it

with a lot of credit on their performance, and this is a fixture you don't need any impetus to get up for. we have certainly had a battle of words, the england flanker lewis ludlam called it a war, saying they hate us, we hate them. that caused a little consternation, using those words, and eddie jones got himself in trouble, almost, in the build—up to the france game, they lost that, but the hyperbole he has been using, they might not have wanted those words to come out of the england camp this week. he is also come into criticism for his line—up. he is stuck with some but has made five changes to his team since the loss in france. it's hard to call. sarah, where you are, it looks absolutely

beautiful, but i know it is absolutely freezing with storm keira looming, as well. thank you for the moment. there will be commentary on ireland against wales on radio five live, at quarter past two, and then scotla nd live, at quarter past two, and then scotland versus england live on bbc one and on bbc sport website. i'm looking forward to it! enjoy your afternoon. in a moment, the artist mackenzie thorpe will tell us what has caught his eye in today‘s papers. headlining the daily mail describing the duke and duchess of sussex‘s first private appearance, and an event held by the jp

first private appearance, and an event held by thejp morgan. phillip schofield‘s announcement that he is 93v- schofield‘s announcement that he is gay. the daily record announces that his mum couldn‘t be more proud. the new york times speaks about the doctor who died of the coronavirus, and about beijing‘s failures. now, this tiny one here, i think it is the... times. a tiny story you have picked out. you really have scanned through the papers! raising the handlebar. what is that?” through the papers! raising the handlebar. what is that? i was the official artist for yorkshire last year, and the excitement, the enthusiasm, 2 million people at the last race, standing and shouting, my

wife taught me to ride a bike when i was 23 years old. how did so much pass? time pass? the fact this is happening, and the bike libraries, we are getting recycled bikes and bra kes we are getting recycled bikes and brakes on wheels given to the kids, and they are bringing in, teaching, like we used to head cycle proficiency at school, that is going to come back, and that‘s fantastic. 3 million children have been held since the launch in 2006. can you describe to us the joy of the moment, as a 23—year—old, when you are first were alone on a bike and in control? i've never been in control! semi in control. we were in a park, and the sun was going down, andi a park, and the sun was going down, and i looked at the landscape, and went straight into a tree. my wife said, you‘re supposed to look where

you‘re going. said, you‘re supposed to look where you're going. it does kind of help! thank you, 125,000 times over. this is the great british spring clean. i suppose it‘s that time. is the great british spring clean. i suppose it's that time. it really gets my goat is that people throw litter on the ground. you talk about all the plastic and disposable things, these streets are always full of rubbish, and now that this has happened, banks, independent companies, even the church has got behind this, and they are asking their employers to get involved and do thejob, but i‘m thinking, maybe i should ask my employees to do the same thing, and everyone should, but i remember me and susan, my wife, and she asked someone why they drop something and she was, worth, bitter head. people know they are in the wrong. i have picked the litter up

and just given it back to them and said, ithink and just given it back to them and said, i think you dropped theirs. that‘s brave! said, i think you dropped theirs. that's brave! if you get a mouthful, it does make you think twice. that's brave! if you get a mouthful, it does make you think twicem could be six or seven teenagers or something,... notjust could be six or seven teenagers or something, . .. not just teenagers, there are very nice ones around. alexi sayle, this is one of the regular features. she is alexi sayle, this is one of the regularfeatures. she is turning into one of those people, if they didn‘t love him before, they love him now. he has gone the distance, he has had a life. i remember, once, he has had a life. i remember, once, he was in chelsea, and i was in full them... the way he has, become instead of an anarchist, and intellectual, but keeping that voice and that purity about him and the response to things, i think it‘s admirable. can wejust response to things, i think it‘s admirable. can we just get a

close—up? one of the joys of this, these pieces every week, that is a little razzies, isn‘t that great? these pieces every week, that is a little razzies, isn't that great? he talked about how we went to hollywood. and he asks know how he has changed. at the end of the story, he goes back to being a child, and how the child was so much a part of him, i drawing that all the time, it‘s what i‘m aware of in the time, it‘s what i‘m aware of in the room outside. i got embarrassed to think about what i‘d done in the m ista kes to think about what i‘d done in the mistakes i‘ve made, wrong decisions. it's mistakes i‘ve made, wrong decisions. it‘s about what you learn, and sometimes you don‘t learn quick enough! are you a tea drinker or a coffee drinker? t, black, no sugar. i eat both... ie both! that‘s a trick. t first,

i eat both... ie both! that‘s a trick. tfirst, coffee i eat both... ie both! that‘s a trick. t first, coffee for the i eat both... ie both! that‘s a trick. tfirst, coffee for the rest of the morning. apparently, if you enjoy a cup of tea, it can help shed the pounds. i enjoy breakfast, but sometimes ijust the pounds. i enjoy breakfast, but sometimes i just take t. the pounds. i enjoy breakfast, but sometimes ijust take t. if i eat something it can slow me down mentally and physically. i might be a contradiction to this article, because as you can see... i haven‘t lost that much weight! i hope it works, it makes me feel happier. we can works, it makes me feel happier. we ca n test works, it makes me feel happier. we can test the theory. what i will say, it probably applies to you to you, you might want to listen more closely. then who drink as little as between a quarter and a full cup a day had less fat around their middles than non—tea drinkers. not really affecting people between the ages of 20 and 24, but also man had

significantly less belly fat. they say you should eat something before tea—time. different food, and you won‘t feel sluggish. tea—time. different food, and you won't feel sluggish. green tea or black tea, that‘s me. lovely talking to you. thank you. the thought, for me of not eating before tea—time except just doesn‘t work. me of not eating before tea—time exceptjust doesn‘t work. it is 12 minutes to ten. we‘ve been talking about coronavirus. just a few minutes ago, we said that five people in france have been diagnosed. we told you there is just one british national, that has now changed. andy moore is here, this is

a statement from the french house in westminster. what are they saying? this is from a press conference that has just this is from a press conference that hasjust emerged. the french first minister said there was just one british victim, now we know there are five, all part of one group, we understand they had been staying at a mountain chalet in the mountainous district of the alps. we believe that one of those confirmed with the coronavirus is a child, and we understand the link that the french authorities are looking at is that one of the group had been to singapore recently, but it does appear to be another example of the disease communicating in the community, in other words, some of the victims had not been to china or even asia, but had been in contact with someone who had been in the area. so, despite british victims

confirmed with the virus, they have been admitted to hospital, they are being investigated as possible victims, and we understand one of those people who is ill, showing some signs of the illness had been in contact with someone in france, so it seems the britons abroad now have been contracting the virus.” appreciate that what you‘re saying before this press conference is still coming in, do we know, and i understand if you don‘t know, we simply don‘t know, what circumstances are there, had they been taken into quarantine? you know anything the logistics? i understand they have been taken into hospital and if to make the normal protocol would be for them to be kept in quarantine are treated in hospital. it may be that like some of the other victims, we say victims, they

have tested positive for the of the virus, but they haven‘t shown any symptoms, so it may be that they had the virus that are not actually ill. we will leave it there for the moment. just confirming the press conference from the french authorities, as andy was just saying, specific to a chalet these people were staying in. five britons now confirmed positive with coronavirus. just to recap, the total people infected in france has reached 11. those diagnosed have been in contact with the person who was in singapore. one of those people is a child. we will keep you updated as more comes out. here‘s sarah keith—lucas with a look at this morning‘s weather.

stone kero approaching, it will bring severe gales. and the weather warning for tomorrow, and severe gales, widespread disruption likely. some of the strongest guts that we have seen, widely across the uk in seven yea rs. we seen, widely across the uk in seven years. we will see the forecast over the next 24 hours, some disruption likely. storm brought across the atla ntic likely. storm brought across the atlantic by very strong jet stream. the winds today fairly light across england and wales, picking up across scotla nd england and wales, picking up across scotland and northern ireland, picking up later in the day ahead of some heavy rain. across scotland and much of england and wales are largely tri— picture, today reasonably mild, seven to 11 degrees, snow for the passports of the highlands in scotland, really
