10:31 pm
of the way but even as the week ahead we stay plumbed in to this motorway of the jet stream from the atlantic, so more unsettled weather to come and we also sit on the northern side or the polar side of the jet stream. moving northern side or the polar side of thejet stream. moving into northern side or the polar side of the jet stream. moving into colder airfor the jet stream. moving into colder air for monday. the jet stream. moving into colder airfor monday. plaintiff the jet stream. moving into colder air for monday. plaintiff showers the jet stream. moving into colder airfor monday. plaintiff showers in oui’ airfor monday. plaintiff showers in our forecast as airfor monday. plaintiff showers in oui’ forecast as we airfor monday. plaintiff showers in our forecast as we approach the new week, cold air as well and still pretty strong winds too. perhaps a notch down on those in association with ciara but a notable wind—chill and gales possible in exposure and you showers feeling pretty thick and fast reports president scotland and ireland and could mean significant acute relations of snow. further south a mixture of sunny spells and showers. monday into tuesday and proceed to scotland and northern ireland and again there will be that threat of greater acute relations of
10:32 pm
snowfall here to the south some occasional showers and again to be a little bit wintry across the higher ground of south wales, but in the sunshine to the south will still feel cold next to the chill of that northwest wind. 0n into wednesday almost blink and you'll miss it but there is a little ridge of high pressure just drifting across the uk. still showers to come in the northwest wind particularly for scotla nd northwest wind particularly for scotland and northern ireland but the winds on wednesday of the next few days will be the latest i think that we will possibly see through the week ahead, because look out here towards the atlantic as her next area of low pressure that will come rolling through on thursday, so thursday again another windy day and there will be some heavy rain around at times too. by friday possibly something a little bit quieter once again, high—pressure building here is the jet towards the end of the week sitting towards the north of the uk, that could allow high—pressure to build the weekend moving further ahead we are back to
10:33 pm
where we started. could get stormy again as we go into the following week.
10:34 pm
10:35 pm
some breaking news now on the situation in thailand, where a soldier has killed at least 20 people and injured many others. ten of them seriously we understand from local sources. police are currently searching for the gunmen inside. inside a popular shopping mall, and in the last half hour, it's called terminal 21. one person has been killed and two injured . we have had reports of a series of
10:36 pm
explosions that were heard from inside the mall in thailand, security forces really concentrating in the lower areas and in the basement area of the shopping mall. that is the latest we have the 20 people killed by that soldier who hold himself up in the terminal 21 shopping mall. and that is in the city of nakhon ratchasima which lies around hundred 55 miles from the capital of bangkok. the soldier's name is jakraphanth thomma. he shot his senior officer and killed a number of people at a temple. at least 20 people dead and 31 people injured, ten any serious condition and the latest reports following a series of explosions as you can see there on the screen is that one person has been killed, that coming
10:37 pm
from the thai health minister and to have been wounded as part of the attack. to make wounded and attacked by security forces inside that shopping mall on sunday. we don't have clear indications of who they are, and who that person killed within the mall is, but we will bring you the latest on that. this is been going on for a number of hours now and it is the early hours of the day in thailand as you can see there. just to bring you a little bit more that we are getting and we understand that it's a number of the thailand security forces that it was killed. two were wounded as pa rt it was killed. two were wounded as part of this raid, it may well be as a result of these explosions that we re a result of these explosions that were recorded taking place within the shopping mall. they are trying to stop the soldier that went on this rampage early on. we don't have
10:38 pm
clarity yet as to whether everybody to whether the shoppers were taken out and also questions as to whether he had hostages. that's the latest we have, a member of the security forces has been killed and two mac have been wounded as they mounted this raid on the terminal 21 shopping mall in the city of korat in thailand. some of the breaking news coming to us concerning the corona outbreak. the latest we've got from local officials. there have been 81 new deaths in china's hubei province today, the epicentre of the outbreak. that takes the death toll from the outbreak in the province alone to 780. the number of confirmed cases has also increased within the province, and that has risen 27,000100. and
10:39 pm
the story is also going to be covered in the papers. so we are going to update you with that,. with me are nigel nelson, political editor of the sunday mirror and the sunday people and the political commentatorjo philips. stay tuned that is coming up next. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nigel nelson, political editor of the sunday mirror and the sunday people and the political commentatorjo philips. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the mail on sunday has an exclusive, claiming that the american woman accused of killing harry dunn was a senior cia agent.
10:40 pm
claims that the department of health has been selling patient data to international drug companies is the 0bserver‘s lead. warnings of a major outbreak of coronavirus in the uk is the top story in the sunday times. the sunday mirror has an exclusive on the death of the soldier, bernard mongan, whose body the paper says went undiscovered for three weeks at catterick barracks. the biggest revolution in transport and communications since the victorian era is on the horizon, according to the sunday express. the government is planning to impose a mansion tax according to the sunday telegraph. and that's a picture of the bbc‘s sophie raworth, who has qualified to represent england in a home—international half marathon.
10:41 pm
so we are going to start off with the coronavirus. i willjust take you through those latest figures. they keep climbing up, don't they. and tying in quite nicely with the lead story in the front page of the times, we've got a warning here from somebody who really does not what he's talking about. absolute this is a professor, and he is a belgian expert, and a microbiologist, he is 110w expert, and a microbiologist, he is now at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine, formally with the un, it was responsible for discovering ebola, but also led the fight against aids back in the 70s. so he's very well respected and well—known. he says he's very alarmed, increasing alarmed by the rapid spread of the virus, and the huge number of cases emerging daily. it does not sound a lot when you think of the number of people there
10:42 pm
are in the world, but we have already with those figures you just read out, we've now got more deaths globally than the sars outbreak in 2002. and i think what the professor is saying here is that it's unlikely this is going to peek into the end of march, there's actually no cure, there's no chance of a breakthrough and people are working their socks off and vaccines to get to it. but it's the way that it's being spread, sneezes, costs etc and as we are hearing on an almost hourly basis. it's so easily spread because it's so it's so easily spread because it's so symptom list to start with. anyone who is filing travelling has beenin anyone who is filing travelling has been in touch with that. then that leads to huge pressures in the nhs. it's the unknown that remains. obviously we don't know enough about this particular disease, the one positive thing is that because of
10:43 pm
the outbreaks here of flu and swine flu we a re the outbreaks here of flu and swine flu we are actually well—prepared for subbing like this, that is one hopeful side. and it's certainly spreading and does not respect borders at all as we can see. this professor here, to put this into context, he has, there's a video where he asked the question are we ready for the next pandemic, the who has resisted saying this is a pandemic so far, but that question remains, and also it's interesting we have not had a case reported in the hub that is london. not yet. but you see, whilst we are talking about this in some ways we are adding to it, and there's this terrible balance to anybody in public health and although the chinese have been criticised and lots of ways they have also been praised for being more open and they were during sars when they sort of, said there was nothing going on. you know the every
10:44 pm
a&e is going to be full of people who have got a bit of a cough and cold were worried that they might have got it for no other reason other than perhaps they know somebody who might have been to china once. but that pressure on the health service and the pressure on the hospitals, and the knock on effect m ea ns the hospitals, and the knock on effect means that people who genuinely need to go to hospital or genuinely need to go to hospital or genuinely need to stay at home are not getting the treatment they deserve. it's a huge problem for public health. talking about what was taking place in wuhan, staying in the front page of the sunday times and we are hearing about for the doctors are having to do. and it is terrifying, the sunday times has spoken to one of the doctors that was there, and talking about now 1000 medical staff have been infected, so it's not a huge place and that's a big figure. with this doctor is talking about is that the real problems they are facing is
10:45 pm
that they cannot go to the bathroom for 12 hours because if they do they have to take off their hazmat suit and that means the protection has ended, some of them wearing nappies to get over the problem and other suits are running out. and doctors are still carrying on impoundment but they are doing it without suits and hence more infection. and of course in terms of the chinese doctors we heard recently about a doctors we heard recently about a doctor who tried to sort of raise the alarm that this was happening and he lost his life. the outbreak really took that. but sturm to the observer. this is the latest case and this is the coronavirus cluster that was picked up at the ski resort. five british nationals at a ski resort in france. what appears to be the case is that a british man had been at a business conference of some sort in singapore and then went
10:46 pm
skiing with these two british families, we don't know whether there were holiday—makers or, we think one group of people lived there but they might have rented out oi’ there but they might have rented out or could have been friends, but a nyway or could have been friends, but anyway they were all quite close and well—known to each other. but these people are now all in hospital, there's a little boy i think he is seven that lives in france but who attends two schools, one in ordinary school but want to improve his french, both of the schools have been closed down for a couple of weeks. again, he comes back to what weeks. again, he comes back to what we we re weeks. again, he comes back to what we were just saying. this chap has been to singapore and somebody somewhere must have been sensible enough to say might be, but at the same time there might be other people who are getting symptoms. what you then have to do is trace all the people they have met and see if you can isolate them for the 14
10:47 pm
day period, which the virus incubates. let's turn to the front page of the telegraph, two stories we're going to start off with the mansion tax. yes indeed and the telegraph was saying this is what borisjohnson is telegraph was saying this is what boris johnson is planning. telegraph was saying this is what borisjohnson is planning. the real problem is he spending a lot of money on things and at some point it got to raise it, the time teresa will be the budget next month and it will be the budget next month and it will be the budget next month and it will be studied'sjob. will be the budget next month and it will be studied's job. will he still be imposed 7 will be studied's job. will he still be imposed? i think he will still be yes. one of the ideas is the mansion tax. this is a straightforward taken from labour that ed miliband tried to introduce what would be a levy on extensive homes, the other thing would be considered isjust extensive homes, the other thing would be considered is just another band of council tax. a very much these are labour type policies which is quite interesting the way that borisjohnson is is quite interesting the way that boris johnson is operating. he setting out a message presumably to
10:48 pm
the north where the tories picked up so the north where the tories picked up so many seats from labour to say this is not about looking after london and to the southeast as has a lwa ys london and to the southeast as has always been the case, this is actually coming you know taxing the people who can afford it but it's not going to go down very well with the tories in southeast london. this is what they are saying finally enough. and we are ceu fishing demand could crash exit talks. fishing a very hot topic. it is, and in terms of what fishing gives to the economy of this country it is incredibly important. we are an island nation. we are emotionally bound to the sea. and everything that comes out of the sea. and the people who go out risking their lives to get fish. even though most of the fish we eat is important and most of the fish we catch is exported. but it is hugely significant and in a way very
10:49 pm
totemic for the eu and because there's an argument that will be joined to the common market as it was all those years ago we basically betrayed written's fishermen in order to do it. it looks according to this report that we are going to do it again, because the europeans which we are not any more, are saying, you know, we still want to fishing your waters. now, the fishing your waters. now, the fishing community were overwhelmingly leave voters. now saying i'm sorry, we absolutely are insisting on the right to carry out fishing in english waters. it's a question of whether the government and the government negotiators will be prepared to sacrifice fishing. in order to get a deal which won't go down terribly well. emmanuel macron was talking about this months ago. he took a very hard line on this. we are just starting in negotiation to
10:50 pm
get a trade deal. so borisjohnson kicked off earlier on in the week by saying we're not to to obey any rules or anything like that, this a message of no surrender, this is europe heading back. fishing looks like an area which could turn out to be one of them. but it's a negotiation and at some point if you're going to have any hope of getting a trade deal at the end of the year, which i think is minimal, both sides will have to compromise. let's turn to the times. what is this? this is some details we are getting now about patel's australian style points plan for integration. and what i'm hearing from the grapevine is this is a pretty accurate portrayal of how this will work. one of the key things is it
10:51 pm
will require this to come to the country if you are a school worker. low objections to that is the figure was too high. and especially outside the southeast again. not figure has been reduced to 25,600 to get in, the only thing about the points—based the only thing about the points— based system the only thing about the points—based system is, we've already got one, it's called the tier system. seems to work perfectly well, so one wonders a little bit we have to adopt the australian one. another bit of window dressing. all governments do it. they want to seem to be terribly busy. they are like people in a supermarket dash. a trolley ——. and going to do this or that or the other, change this and not changing anything in particular. with 40 got a system like this. we are going to turn to the front of the sunday express. so this is the
10:52 pm
prime minister apparently about to announce the biggest revolution in transport and communications in britain since the victorian era. obviously got to find that. it would be the mansion tax. that's where thatis be the mansion tax. that's where that is going to go. this is, you know, infrastructure. hst is still in the balance will get the go—ahead next week. investment in green buses. i think boris is doomed with buses. i think boris is doomed with buses. when he was mayor of london he introduced these things spewed out more diesel than anything. com pletely out more diesel than anything. completely and utterly on environmentally friendly. the buses are a huge issue in the north of england. it's a huge issue in london. and in the midlands where i
10:53 pm
stay. and more is going to sort of the trains, it's one of the things in the package from a 170 million on buses, i think buses are hugely important in bus routes... hugely important in bus routes... hugely important rural communities. and beaches. they were looking at reopening some of the railway lines that were closed by beaching in the 19605. it will that were closed by beaching in the 1960s. it will be interesting to see the details we get and how far it's going to go. will it get those speeds, let's very quickly turn back to the observer in this is a worrying story. drugs giants a p pa re ntly worrying story. drugs giants apparently accessing our health records, they have been but. without we have done this before. and sure enough this is a follow—up to a story in the observer last december. when they revealed the government had raised quite a lot of money, £10
10:54 pm
million in 2018 by granting licenses. it's quite a flimsy story ifiam licenses. it's quite a flimsy story if i am completely honest. because it's got an unknown senior and hs figure saying that although we all think this data is anonymized it can be routinely linked back to individual patients medical records if via the gp surgeries, they say a thing is being sold only after thorough measures are taken. except if they can trace it back to the individual, well from the observer says they can. yes i know but... if they do it's quite serious. and people will be saying how do i opt out of that? that's the main question. the observer, or the telegraph very quickly there's this cartoon. a fabulous cartooning that we love this. is a man and a show
10:55 pm
room from make car showroom and it's got a sign saying petrol and diesel cars, and the quantities says i'm worried about the coronavirus, i'm only here to avoid human contact. and on that pointjust a reminder that the figures have increased, we have had the latest saying that 81 new deaths have been reported in the hubei province, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak and also confirmed cases have increased by 2100. i will be back at the top of the hour, for this hour of the papers we just want to say thank you tojoe papers we just want to say thank you to joe and nigel. papers we just want to say thank you tojoe and nigel. hope you join us for that. if you like to peruse through those front pages had online. bbc news website. it's packed seven days a week. the papers can be found here. if you missed the programme then do head to the bbc
10:56 pm
iplayer and you can watch it and many other programmes again. stay with us because main headlines coming up at the top of the hour. but to get us us there that's fine i had the weather is looking, here is helen. good evening. a powerful and dangerous storm is upon us orjust about. storm ciara. it is very unusual because it will affect pretty much the whole of the uk. these tightly packed isobars indicate widespread severe gales through the course of sunday and on top of that there is some very wet weather as well. so, the met office have amber warnings out which indicates a threat to life and significant disruption for england and wales for those severe gales but the likelihood is that could be extended further north and it will be very windy for northern ireland and for scotland as well. if that weren't enough, we've also got an amber warning out for parts of southern scotland,
10:57 pm
particularly the boarders, a couple of rivers concerning here, that there could be so much rain on the slow—moving band of rain through the night that it will lead to river flooding and flash flooding, so that is a concern as well. not just for southern scotland, though, we have that slow—moving band of rain from northern ireland, north—west england and wales, too. in fact, most of us will see rain by the end of the night but those areas could see 40 millimetres plus of rain. so, with all of the wind, the cloud, and the rain, it will be relatively mild away from the north of scotland with some mountain snow. these are the sorts of gusts of winds we are talking about. these gusts of wind could bring down power lines, low roof tiles off, cause trees to fall over and certainly there will be branches flying around, hence the risk to life and the risk of quite widespread damage and disruption in places. so, let's take the northern half of the uk, we clear the rain to start with, and lots of showers follow in behind, wintry over the hills, hail and thunder, very squally winds and that potential escalation through the central lowlands, argyll and bute late in the possibly 85 miles an hour gusts of winds will certainly cause
10:58 pm
widespread disruption. and then across england and wales. we have the rain to clear but it doesn't really clear, we just see bands of very squally rain moving through during the course of the day and those winds escalating to 60 to 80 miles an hour, even in land, really unusual, perhaps once or twice a decade occurrence. hence the concern that this is a dangerous storm that is going to cause widespread problems with large waves as well because it coincides with the spring tides so it is possible that we could see all sorts of consequences because of this storm. of course, there are warnings out, the details are on the website, it looks set to stay windy, not as windy, at the start of the week, but cold as well. bye— bye.
10:59 pm
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: a nine—year—old child is amongst five british people who have tested positive for the coronavirus at a french ski resort. more than 200 people are being flown to the uk from the chinese city at the centre of the outbreak, and will arrive at raf brize norton tomorrow morning. bursts of automatic gunfire at a thailand shopping mall, as at least 21 people are now known to have been killed by a gunman who is still at large. gusts of 63 mph already in stornoway, and ba cancels dozens of flights tomorrow. there are severe weather warnings as storm ciara approaches
