the david hockney, the splash from 1966. and now, more than 50 years later, it's been sold. the last time it came up for auction in 2006, it made almost £3 million. the price now... sold to you. thank you very much. ..eight times higher. more than £23 million. it's below his record price, but proof enough of his place amongst the biggest names in the global art market. david sillito, bbc news. let's ta ke let's take a look at the weather prospects. and we have any californian sunshine? the weather could turn disruptive into the weekend, another name to storm on the way. before that winter is still biting areas of the uk. further snow showers in scotland, also showers in northern ireland and the south west

of england. the wind is a bit lighter so it feels chilly compared with recent days. the exception is in scotland, where we have cold and strong north—westerly winds blowing. the ridge of high pressure will move infora time, the ridge of high pressure will move in for a time, which will clear the skies. it'll be cold across northern england and scotland. further south—west, as cloud wind and rain begins to me then, it will turn increasingly mild. the band of rain pushes in and we will see it turn to snow across the hills of northern england and across scotland. perhaps coinciding with the thursday morning rush—hour. there is the prospect of seeing localised disruption due to the weather. there will be a few scattered showers following, particularly across parts of eastern england. temperature is mild in the south. still cold in scotland. on friday another weather system moving

in. there are concerns we could see localised flooding, given how wet the weather has been here recently. in the east of england, not much in the way of rain reaching these areas on friday. then storm benefit on the way on saturday, sunday and monday, bringing a combination of very strong winds and very heavy rain, so we are likely to see some disruption. on saturday, the strongest winds will be in the west. heavy outbreaks of rain nationwide but particularly so across parts of southern england and wales. another dollop of rain edging into these areas so dollop of rain edging into these areas so there could be localised flooding issues living in. the wind will pick up across the irish sea and the height of disruption. on sunday night and into monday, as the area of low pressure transfers eastwards, there will be strong

winds pushing across scotland and northern england which could cause further problems as we head into monday. storm dennis will be here and it could cause problems saturday, sunday and monday with localised disruption. a reminder of our top story... health officials are trying to trace 12 patients seen by two british doctors, who have been diagnosed with the coronavirus. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me and, on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. you're watching bbc news. i'm olly foster at the bbc sport centre. the formula one chinese grand prix has been postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak. it had been scheduled for april 19th.

the fourth race of this year's championship that starts next month. let's speak to the bbc formula one commentatorjack nicholls. the request actually came from the organisers of the race. reason that the announcement took so long to come is that nobody really wa nted long to come is that nobody really wanted to cancel it. formula i didn't want to cancel the race. they wa nted didn't want to cancel the race. they wanted the organiser to cancel it. it has been a waiting game. you are right, it is the only sensible solution. we have seen the national football league in china being postponed. the world indoor athletics championships was postponed. it was the only thing that could happen, i suppose. postponed. it was the only thing that could happen, i supposem postponed. it was the only thing that could happen, i suppose. it is a packed calendar with a record of 22 races. i can't see this going

ahead. the only way it could happen is if it was later in the year, september october time. but then you would be running grand prix is on back—to—back weekends. all the teams would have to agree for that to happen, andi would have to agree for that to happen, and i simply don't think they would all be up for that, because that is a huge amount of effort and work for them to get done. they have called it a postponement, they are looking at other viable dates, but i do not think it is realistic. it is due to go into vietnam for the first time. that is the third race, what would have been the shanghai one. they have been the shanghai one. they have shut the border with china. they have shut down tourist events. only a handful of coronavirus cases there, but they will be worried about that, you would have thought? i think they will have to consider it and look at it very seriously. it is not quite as extreme situation as

china. i believe i6 is not quite as extreme situation as china. i believe 16 counts of coronavirus, the last time the world health organization had it. but hanoi is on the hundred miles from the chinese border, so it is certainly something that formula i will be looking at but there is nothing official yet. thank you. many thanks indeed. the rfu is going to cut the annual funding that clubs in the championship receive by almost half. they say that targets haven't been met in the second tier of english rugby. here's our rugby union correspodnent chris jones. it isa it is a harsh call by the rfu. some would college krill, given that the clu bs would college krill, given that the clubs need to financially forecast for next season. but the rfu... even

support the championship to the tune of millions and millions of pounds, oi’ of millions and millions of pounds, orjust say to of millions and millions of pounds, or just say to the clubs, of millions and millions of pounds, orjust say to the clubs, go back to amateur status, you're not going to be premier status. it is a big, big moment in the future of professional by moment in the future of professional rugby andi moment in the future of professional rugby and i think it will be the start of ring fencing coming in for sure. former world number one tiger woods hasn't ruled out playing in a new breakway tour. he's been approached by organisers of the premier golf league — a proposed 18—event global tour featuring 48 top players with a $240 million prize—fund. you are trying to get the top players to play. we are only getting together about five times a year. you want to showcase the top players on more than just those limited occasions. we came up with the world

championships, we are meeting more often. whether things like this are going to happen, but the ideas like this are going to happen going forward. that is on the sport for now. much more on the bbc sport website including the nominees for the women's footballer of the year award. you can get all the details on there. of course, we will have more for you in the next hour. in terms of the coronavirus story in this country, just to tell you news coming through from nhs england coming through from nhs england coming through from nhs england coming through in the last few minutes, the businessmen from east sussex, you have probably seen his photo by now, we'rejust sussex, you have probably seen his photo by now, we're just hearing that he has now left hospital to

return home. he has been in isolation. he was the businessmen who contracted the virus without realising while in singapore. he was ata realising while in singapore. he was at a business conference. he has beenin at a business conference. he has been in isolation as coronavirus patients have to be, but we are being told now that he has made a full recovery. he certainly said that in a statement that he made yesterday. he has left hospital and can now return home to east sussex. that is just coming through nhs england. he has no finished his period of quarantine and is now able to return home. we stay with the story because the world health organization is meeting in geneva to discuss its response. our global health correspondent is at that meeting. it is day two of this international, global research and innovation forum here at the world health organization. around 400 scientists,

some of the world's top scientists from all over the world, are trying to come up to a response, and also to come up with how to best get the information they need. there's still much about this virus that scientists don't know. joining me to tell me a bit more about this is the world organisation's chief scientist. can you give us an update about what you have been discussing in there and what progress you've made? we've had a lot of intense discussions over the last day and a half, and after the plenary discussions yesterday morning, we were talking to nine groups and then there was a separate group of funders that really met to discuss how they could collaborate and align their funding priorities, and also the speed at which they could fund projects, and how to improve efficiencies and reduce duplication, so that was one track.

but the scientists broke into nine thematic areas, epidemiology, disease transmission, animal reservoirs, vaccines, therapeutics, social science, ethics. so today we came back to hear from each of the groups what their top priorities where, and we also try to focus on what the immediate needs are, and those that could be taken up in the more medium to long term, so i think we had a lot of general discussion and how we could prioritise hi who could really help this whole global endeavour. i understand you've been speaking to chinese doctors on the line. obviously they cannot be here unfortunately. what have they been telling you? so they have really been highlighting the importance of keeping the focus right now on the control of this outbreak. this means we have to focus on detecting the disease, diagnosing people who have the infection, making sure that we are using the right evidenced—based approaches to contain it in terms of quarantine and closing schools and transportation and things like that.

and then about managing people who get sick, so a standardised approach to managing people that will yield the best results. so they brought us all back to focus on what the immediate needs are and wanted the global community to come together to address that. from the very latest numbers that you are looking at, where is this outbreak headed? it has just been reported at the moment that hong kong's leading public health epidemiologist is saying that the epidemic could spread to about two thirds of the world's population if it cannot be controlled. so that's one scenario, and when you do modelling, you always have different scenarios based on what assumptions you're making. at the moment, what we are seeing is the number of cases being detected every year has gone down over the last few days. every day. the numbers are reducing, so it does look like... at least it is not growing, it is reducing. the number of cases outside china has not grown exponentially.

it is within the 400s. very manageable. we do believe there is still an opportunity to control and contain this disease, and it need not necessarily become a pandemic. thank you very much. i'll let you get back to the meeting. i know you're very busy. that meeting is continuing into the late afternoon today in geneva. at the end, there will be what is called a road map, a plan of action going forward on how best to urgently bring this outbreak under control. we will keep you up—to—date with developments in that story. clashed over whether the government was right to send a group of convicted criminals to jamaica . mr corbyn said the government had ‘learned nothing' from the windrush scandal — but the prime minister insisted

it was right that foreign offenders were deported from the country. our correspondent iain watson is in westminster. as you say, jeremy corbyn went on theissue as you say, jeremy corbyn went on the issue of the deportation flights initially. he also talked about the extradition of the women who tragically killed harry dunn. interestingly, quite a lot of new conservative mps were pressing the prime minister to do things for their areas, like tackling knife crime and dealing with nhs contracts. i am joined crime and dealing with nhs contracts. iam joined by crime and dealing with nhs contracts. i am joined by a couple of new mps. somebody with slightly more prone entry experience also. let's start here. jeremy corbyn went on this issue of deportation

flights. wasn't it, to some extent, playing into his opponent‘ flights. wasn‘t it, to some extent, playing into his opponent‘ hands? flights. wasn‘t it, to some extent, playing into his opponent' hands?” don‘t think anybody should be weak on the issue of human rights. that is the angle thatjeremy corbyn went on. it says a lot about us as a country if we have got people who have served their time in jail, country if we have got people who have served their time injail, who have served their time injail, who have turned their lives around, for us have turned their lives around, for us to stick them on a plane and send them out of the country. in that sense absolutely the wrong message for people in this country. it‘s that we are not going to help you get out of the situation and turn your life around for the better. i think it is really important that this was talked about. my constituents were writing to me on a daily basis saying that it was outrageous that the flight was going ahead. jeremy corbyn said that if this was a white man who dabbled in drugs and conspired to beat upper journalist, presumably any reference

to the prime minister, was carbon rights to personalise it in this way? whether we like it or not, this isa way? whether we like it or not, this is a country that has real structures of racism. depending on the colour of your scanner where you we re the colour of your scanner where you were born, your opportunities are not the same. he was absolutely right. i think borisjohnson has got an appalling track record of seeing racist things about particular groups. whether it is about people in africa or muslims in this country, i think he needs to be held to account for that. a potential accusation of racism there. coming to the court to issue, is it right to the court to issue, is it right to deport people who may have come here as children, and who have no relatives back injamaica even if they have committed an offence? relatives back injamaica even if they have committed an offence ?m is absolutely right that we are deporting foreign nationals who have

committed offences. the fact that jeremy corbyn tried to conflate windrush generation with serious criminals who are on this flight, i think that is an absolute outrage. the draft report has leaked that... we are not talking about windrush individuals. we are talking about serious criminals who have been convicted of 12 months or more in jail, who we are deporting. i think thatis jail, who we are deporting. i think that is absolutely the right thing to do. do you see this as a major issue? i think it is the right thing to do and i think the labour party are on the wrong side of the argument. i think it is absolutely right to talk about the windrush situation and battle episode. it shows that the tory government has learned absolutely nothing from theirfailure. we are learned absolutely nothing from their failure. we are talking about sending people back to have no roots. we are sending people away to somewhere where they have no roots at all. they have been convicted of

offences. the windrush scandal showed that there was no reason. it should be, if people have committed offences, they should be serving their sentences in jail. we offences, they should be serving their sentences injail. we should be trying to rehabilitate them and give them the opportunities. in an independent scotland that has these parrots, using the rubino deportation flight? we have put a lot more resources and our prisons and getting people through rehabilitation and that is exactly what should be happening in this case. we should be treating people equally across the entirety of society. i don't normally have any place forjeremy corbyn but i think he is correct to point out the hypocrisy is that we have from the sky minister and some of his government who have committed the same types of crimes. this is currently in the paper right now,

ending the early automatic release of people convicted of terrorism charges. we shouldn't be putting anybody on the street who is threat to public safety. but what i was saying about rehabilitation, there needs to be more work to turn while people are in prison to make sure they are properly safe to return to irish communities. we cannot have people going back in the streets who are a threat to people safety. —— to return to our communities. sentence lack it has been said that they should be more emphasis on rehabilitation. do think the government is putting attention on that side of the equation?” government is putting attention on that side of the equation? i think the duty of any government is to keep the public safe. people who the criminal justice keep the public safe. people who the criminaljustice system keep the public safe. people who the criminal justice system feel keep the public safe. people who the criminaljustice system feel i not

—— likely to reoffend, should be ke pt —— likely to reoffend, should be kept in prison. this is been called retrospective legislation, you are the sentence once it has been given. is that something the labour party is prepared to support? we need to have safe streets and people who have safe streets and people who have committed awful crimes and are a threat to our democracy and country, there needs to be something. something needs to have cross— party something. something needs to have cross—party consensus that we get the sentencing right. they does need to be much betterfocus on deradicalisation and rehabilitation. every time a person, if they are young or old, get sent to prison, thatis young or old, get sent to prison, that is a failure of our society. we have one of the most burgeoning prison populations in europe, and that, to me, is a failure of public policy. one question. jeremy corbyn raised that there is a lopsided extradition treaty in the united

states. that was in the context of harry dunn. do think that needs to be looked at again?” harry dunn. do think that needs to be looked at again? i think the prime minister said that is something he has sympathy with and we will look at. we are pressing, as a government, as hard as possible and she should be returned. those are some of the issues that came up at prime minister‘s question‘s today. the government is going to be focusing on hsz. as i said, there is going to be a vote and an attempt to push the comments before the end of the day, legislation related to the early automatic release of prisoners halfway through their sentence. we will bring in more detail about coronavirus no. ten minutes ago, we

we re coronavirus no. ten minutes ago, we were talking about the fact that steve walsh has been discharged from hospital. this is the man from east sussex who contracted coronavirus whilst on a business trip to singapore. it is worth bringing you a brief statement that he has now released saying, i am happy to be home and feeling well. i want to see a big thank you to the nhs who has been great throughout, and my thoughts are with everybody around the world who continues to be affected by the virus. it is good to be back with my family and i would ask you pre—damocles to respect our privity from now on. there is an update from the nhs. point that steve walsh has been discharged. he has had to negative tests for coronavirus 24—hour is a part. the nhs says he has made a full recovery following treatment. his symptoms were mild, he is not

contagious, and poses no risk to the public. they make the point that anyone, anywhere, with any health concerns should contact nhs on the phone line 111. if you have any health concerns about that, phone 111 . health concerns about that, phone 111. a few other stories. a woman who tried to open the door of a plane midway through a flight has been jailed for two years. 26—year—old chloe haines was on a flight from stansted to dalaman in turkey when she became agressive with staff on board. two rafjets were scrambled to escort the plane back to the uk as a result. the airline says the incident cost them £86,000. the archbishop of canterbury has said the church of england is "still deeply institutionally racist." the most reverend justin welby said at a meeting of the church‘s ruling body that he was "ashamed" of its history of racism. mr welby‘s words came as synod members backed a motion to apologise

for racism in the church of england since the arrival of the windrush generation. frustrated by a lack of police, ordinary people are sometimes leaving the comfort and safety of their sofas to walk the streets themselves in the hope of cutting crime. patrollers on the thornhill estate in southampton use social media to be its eyes and ears on the streets, where last month a 17—year—old was stabbed to death after an increase in gang violence. as well as citizens walking the streets, more and more towns and cities are hiring in professional security firms to tackle low—level criminality and anti—social behaviour, with some councils spending more than a million pounds a year on private police patrols. ben moore reports. scott, mitchell and elliott are out looking for trouble. but they walk the streets of their southampton neighbourhood hoping that anybody out to commit a crime thinks twice. i have been in a situation where

teenagers pulled out samurai swords, machetes, baseball bats, tasers, chains, hammers. last month, 17—year—old james laurie was stabbed and killed on the thornhill estate. fears of gang violence means police have increased stop and search operations. we don‘t like the term vigilante because that is not what we are. we patrol the streets to keep them safe. we don‘t get involved, we don‘t incite violence, we don‘t cause violence. behaving yourself? andy patrols his home city of salisbury, but he‘s no volunteer. i have been assaulted multiple times. i have been spat at. i've had weapons pulled on me. you've got to have a thick skin. you will get called fake—policeman, a wannabe copper, yadda, yadda, yadda. the list goes on and on. the council pays more than £70,000 a year to a private security firm to patrol these streets. ijust want to make sure you're 0k, health—wise, are you all right? yes, we're here to make sure certain

aspects of the job are kept on hand like drinking in streets. at the same time, we are here to help them as well. being heavy—handed is not our role. it is not what we are here for. you need to watch it like a hawk. over the next three years, the government says it will recruit 20,000 more police officers. but do public patrols show it‘s too little too late? it is sad that it has come to this because, obviously, there has been so many cuts to policing over the last ten years. i don't know what training these people have, but it is obviously not the same. even though they are dealing with low—level stuff, everything carries risk. but there is one key tool that some patrol groups say mitigates that risk. the best deterrent is social media and the reach that we get. we reach 100,000 people a month. this patroller wanted us to protect his identity after some have had threats of violence made against them. i think at first they were dubious because they're like, "ugh, another vigilante group. "

but we've proven quite quickly that we are not. i'll put a post up and straightaway we get 100 likes. i get comments saying thank you for what you do. back on patrol in thornhill, scott‘s team also regularly feed information to the police. some of the police are probably like you just need to stay at home and do nothing, but we think that we are helping, so if it helps the community, that‘s what we want the most. weather now with chris fawkes. today, we have further snow showers coming in. fora today, we have further snow showers coming in. for a time, today, we have further snow showers coming in. fora time, many showers tend to fade away. when‘s in the south don‘t feel as chilly as they have in recent days. still got a cold wind in scotland, with

temperatures struggling around five or6 temperatures struggling around five or 6 degrees. overnight, irate of high—pressure moving across the country. underneath that ridge, we have clear skies and light winds. it is going to be a cold night across northern areas with a sharp frost. is turning milder in the south—west as it turns wetter. we see some of the rain turned to snow across the hills of northern england and scotland. possibly dental a—levels for a time scotland. possibly dental a—levels fora time in scotland. possibly dental a—levels for a time in scotland. that could cost some localised disruption on thursday. storm dennis set to cause further problems.
