of the coronavirus. people returning to beijing risk punishment if they don't go into quarantine for m days. the duchess of cambridge says her "amazing granny" inspires her parenting, in a new podcast. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. to what the the papers will be with me are the entertainment journalist and broadcaster, caroline frost, and the broadcaster, penny smith. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. in the sunday people, caroline flack — 1979 to 2020. the love island star takes her own life, aged just 40.
10:31 pm
in the mail, kate's struggle with mummy guilt: the duchess talks hypnobirthing, morning sickness and noisy george in a soul—bearing interview. in the observer, the new attorney general — suella braverman — is in a contraversial buddhist sect, despite its founder being accused of sexual abuse. in the telegraph, millions to be told to stay at home if coronavirus spreads in a dramatic shift in government policy. and in the sunday times, number 10 tells the bbc the licence fee will be scrapped — and replaced with a subscription. let's look at the sunday people so first of all. the tribute to carolyn flack, the love island star takes her own life h a0. this is difficult because so much media attention was given to caroline flack picture being too difficult times for her and here we are talking about her
10:32 pm
again. i know, and it is. i and here we are talking about her again. i know, and it is. lam assuming we are on twitter and instagram and everything else. a lot of my timeline is full of people tweeting the samaritans out blind. and it's not that you don't know the help is out there, the problem comes that with twitter whilst it has been so that with twitter whilst it has been so brilliant and some anyways and certainly right at the beginning before people realise the power of it. it seemed like this force for good where you could connect with all these people and everything else. the problem is that it becomes this a baying mob once someone has decided to go down a particular route. and then there is this... we have discovered these hideous people who would write to you when you are on television and say horrible things. that is an effort, it is an effort to write, put it in an
10:33 pm
envelope, put a stamp on it, go and send it and most people did not do it. and now you dojust like that. and people hide behind anonymity as well. but she was a very, very well—liked, popular and successful tv presenter over the years. as you said caroline across many different shows. that is why it is so shocking. this sunday people front—page is not a picture we expected to see. this beautiful young lady, ao expected to see. this beautiful young lady, 40 is no age and i think she looks younger. and this lovely picture doesn't sum up her appeal. she was at the helm of so many shows, a cbbc presenter starting out, she has pretty much i think quite responsible for the success of love island because of her charm and her central role in helming it and coming across as though she is on the side of the contestant. she is almost one of them, she was a young girl looking for love and that is something that many tabloids were quick tojump something that many tabloids were quick to jump on. something that many tabloids were
10:34 pm
quick tojump on. it something that many tabloids were quick to jump on. it was central to her appeal, very girl next—door, successful, glamourous and smiling. penny was right as i noticed this evening, the media have been and what the people are writing, journalists i have spoken too quick to blame twitter and other platforms sub twitter quick to blame media. newspapers in particular. people in media blaming the cps for bringing this trial forward because of this altercation she had with her boyfriend. they want to blame someone boyfriend. they want to blame someone for something that is so shocking and incomprehensible. even though her story is very abruptly i'iow though her story is very abruptly now over, i think a lot of conversations will probably go on as a result of this shocking story. and we have talked so much haven't we recently about mental health. and this is absolutely the case. when you just think that there is no way out, there really isn't, this
10:35 pm
happens. the hopelessness of it. and although there is help out there, somebody... can't see beyond their immediate obstacles that they are facing. the sunday express also have a photograph of caroline flack on the front page. there was that scrum penny when she appeared before the magistrates in highbury on december the 23rd which clearly was a difficult, and helena wilkinson was talking about this and in court at the time when that hearing happened. she was very distressed, caroline flack, and her partner. he threw her worse said "i don't want her case bringing" but the cps went ahead with it. even at that pointjust in the magistrates' court, the pressure she was under was plain to see. and just coming out to find all those, a
10:36 pm
phalanx of photographers just waiting to take a photograph. and there you are you suddenly have gone from hero to zero overnight. people documenting. every single thing. so much for innocent until proven guilty. let's look at a couple of coronavirus stories. the sunday telegraph from the personal to the sort of mass concern. millions to be told to stay at home if coronavirus spreads as a change in government policy. this is because i think for the first time there is a recognition that the nhs are going to struggle to cope with a number of tests whether loan cases. the good news is is that of the nine people in britain diagnosed definitively with this virus, eight of them have now recovered and have left hospital. and recovered quickly. and there were quite healthy anyway.
10:37 pm
including that group from the skiing holiday with that poor man who has had that big finger attached to him as the great super spreader. he has re cove red, as the great super spreader. he has recovered, the team around him have re cove red, recovered, the team around him have recovered, and that is the good news story is that this is not a fatal blow if the finger comes down on you. however, ithink blow if the finger comes down on you. however, i think that they are starting to pay us for sort of more numbers for british numbers to grow and certainly we have heard about european cases now. i think this is a story very much in its early stages. already people are starting to bea stages. already people are starting to be a bit more aware of public hygiene which is no bad thing. and washing your hands, good. for a start, let's do a bit more of that. the thing is i think many people are still quite confused about this. so, it seems to be from the figures that we have that it seems to be possibly about the same issue with flu for example and the fact that there is a 296... it is
10:38 pm
example and the fact that there is a 296...itisa example and the fact that there is a 296... it is a very low chance of catching it and being in any way severely affected. so i think people are still confused about why therefore whenever we see anybody who is sort of presenting with a possible coronavirus everybody appears to be in virtual the same sort of things you see virtually when we saw the terrible cases like ebola for example. you sort of think why are they wearing all the kind of kit when it is the same as flute? the doctor in wuhan, a young fit man, who saw this was a problem. and he was signed by the authorities. he died from it. then he would have been exposed with so much more fear into a. you can understand why health workers were doing it and being wearing all this. but why anybody else? the thing is though we know people who have been identified
10:39 pm
as at risk are just showing signs and aren't quarantined for ia days, but if it doesn't spread people will have to say it home, aren't they? because there will not be enough facilities to quarantine. the problem is how do you know it is the coronavirus and not a cold or you feel a bit rubbish? and there will be other people saying i cannot afford to spend ia days at home. i can't afford not to work for ia days. who is going to pay me? the other story about the coronavirus is on the observer. britain stuck on virus aligner, call for rescue. which was the ship, there have been several? the diamond princess, still. those poor people. a married couple said they felt relatively well off because their cabin was facing the right way and they had not had a row yet. this is like something out of a sci—fi movie, isn't it, the idea of being stuck on
10:40 pm
a ship in the middle of the sea. there will be a film made about her. 100%. the pressure is growing on the uk because the americans have announced they will be evacuating citizens of theirs from that same ship. there is a national competition. they care more about their people than we do. or is it their people than we do. or is it the fact that if you have coronavirus onboard, you keep in there to be quarantines until there is no other issues going on so everybody can come home or do you ta ke everybody can come home or do you take the people taken a few might be super spiders who are therefore going off to home countries without rose this is the issue, isn't it? going off to home countries without rose this is the issue, isn't mm is an ethical dilemma, isn't it. it's about human rights versus utilitarian principles, to help the mass or the little people. the idea of being on a cruise ship should be thrilling but maybe not under these circumstances. may the notes he wears off... after the food!
10:41 pm
exactly. let's look at the telegraph, actually. which i inconveniently put to the bottom of my... 0h, caroline what would i do without you this evening? johnson vetoes mansion tax after backlash. who would have thought a backlash would occur after this idea was for the? who would've thought this backlash would've happened and sajid javid would resign as chancellor and therefore all these things that the tories don't like has indeed gone away again? this was an idea floated some time ago by ed miliband and criticised... some time ago by ed miliband and criticised. . . there some time ago by ed miliband and criticised... there were a few things that the labour party were floating and criticised by the conservatives and have now slipped into manifestos. but it is interesting as you say because the bean counter, the man in charge of the sacks of rice has now vacated the sacks of rice has now vacated the latter and he has a new some say slightly more amenable to the leadership policies and ideals as
10:42 pm
espoused by borisjohnson leadership policies and ideals as espoused by boris johnson and leadership policies and ideals as espoused by borisjohnson and his huberfearor espoused by borisjohnson and his huber fear or dominic cummings. so sajid javid is gone and in what the whole 48 hours later, he is featuring on mansion taxes which means a featuring on mansion taxes which meansa certain featuring on mansion taxes which means a certain demographic will be better off gesturing at the sunday telegraph... in the southeast of england where a5% have been incredibly high where this would have bitten, wouldn't it? it actually would have taken in a few more people than just the very rich, it would have taken in all sorts of people for example who bought their homes way back when, actually when the prices were not as high as they are now. it would have affected quite a lot of people but it seems as though the bean counter was counting beans and all of a sudden the pantry was open to everybody. the pantry on the ladder! and the other thing to mention is the reevaluation of counsel tax. millions would have had a high
10:43 pm
counsel tax. swept aside. millions would have had a high counseltax. swept aside. good news for everybody apparently! except the exchequer. the mail on sunday. my struggle against mum guilt. the duchess of cambridge talking about what it is like being a mama. i remember when she was pregnant and suffering from morning sickness and i had such sympathy because i had it terribly. it is the most grim thing. a noisy boy turning life upside down, got one of those too. but not as much help as they do. that is it, for a lot of people they will read this and say yeah, there is a real residence but adding to that for some people who don't have the help and don't have the wealth, it is even harder. it is not even the well. it is a unique wealth and health. what i see here is a palpable move to fill the space left by harry and meghan as the couple of
10:44 pm
the people. we are having an unprecedented access, i don't think it isa unprecedented access, i don't think it is a coincidence that in the same month where we have seen harry and meghan disappear off to make their millions and with a fairy tale life, we have seen william and kate who have always hit her to bend that slightly more senior and much more will be expected of them but also just a different way of behaving, getting more touches of the elbow... we are going touchy feel, aren't we? i think we would see more and more where they are inhabiting that middle space. she said "who william was like oh, my gosh is this what parenting will be like?" it is like, edition of urban chat and the most posh question a father has ever asked. he was like, "gosh!" gosh is not really strong enough at aam when you are arguing about who is the most tired. i think gosh is
10:45 pm
definitely the first word you think. 0r0, definitely the first word you think. 0r 0, golly, golly gosh! definitely the first word you think. or 0, golly, golly gosh! that's all you can see in front of an impressionable child, isn't it. that's it for the papers this hour. caroline and penny will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later next on bbc news is click.
10:46 pm
last week, youtube revealed for the first time just how much cash it's making parent company google. that was $15 billion last year. announcing its results for the first time seems like a right of passage — it has grown up and is standing on its own to feed. —— its own two feet. i visited their london office to find out how it has come of age. kevin, youtube used to be the place where video went viral, but now it seems a lot of that happens on facebook or tiktok. how do you think things have changed? the internet is bigger. it is much easier to make a beautiful video now than it was ten years ago. when you look at now what the most popular videos on youtube are, they are not viral hit videos, but coming from channels producing lots of content regularly and that have large audiences. i think youtube has moved from this unintentional kind of quick video
10:47 pm
thing which we all associate with the early years of youtube to this sort of new world in which you have creators who have businesses and build audiences. few could have predicted some of the most successful genres. tell me about asmr. it is short for autonomous sensory meridian response. these are whisper videos where people whisper or do things quietly to make audiences react. what sort of things might they do? they might whisper, or cook, or rub things on the microphone. it is a very unusual form of entertainment. but it is not designed necessarily to make you laugh or do the things that we think about for traditional entertainment. it is designed to help you relax or calm down. another big trend is recipes. making something the old—fashioned way can be time—consuming and fiddly.
10:48 pm
so some of the videos online, particularly many have gone viral, make it look very simple. but is it always possible to do what you are watching? well, chris fox has been finding out. you've probably been seeing food hacks like these online before — top tricks for tasty treats — but are they too good to be true? millions of videos like this have turned up on youtube and facebook, but do the all the tips and recipes work, or will theyjust waste your time and ingredients? here is a milk carton flan from the lifestyle channel blossom. this video's had i7 million views. you put the ingredients in the carton, microwave it, cool it, and out pops a perfect carton flan. now, i followed this video step—by—step. i've used the exact same quantities. now, the first problem came when i tried to put this in the microwave, because the milk carton was too tall, it wouldn't fit.
10:49 pm
and that got me thinking, well, how did they fit their milk carton full of ingredients in the microwave? and it looks like they didn't, because if you rewatch the video, you'll see that they actually just cut the bottom of the milk carton off. not to be deterred, i put the mixture into a gym shaker and followed the rest of the video, putting it in the microwave to boil for ten minutes. and did i get a flan at the end of it? no, i did not. next up, gummy bear hacks: easy diy dessert recipes for the weekend, recipes from so yummy. 3.2 million views. in this video, melting gummy bears turns them into jelly. here's me copying what i saw in the video. it turns out gummy bears are actually very thick and gloopy when they are melted, not runny like liquid jelly. will my spoon go into the jelly just as effortlessly as in the so yummy video? well, no it will not.
10:50 pm
because, as you might expect, this gummy mixture at the bottom of the glass is rock solid. let's have one more. this is from 5—minute crafts. if you've run out of popcorn, why notjust shove an ear of corn in the microwave to make some popcorn? now, i don't need to tell you that if you put an ear of fresh corn into the microwave it will not come out as popcorn but willjust be hot corn. but i was willing to be proved wrong, so i tried it out in the name of science. when it comes out, it is warmer than before! i'm not the only one who has been intrigued by this — ann reardon is a food scientist and runs a cookery channel on youtube, and she's been investigating, too. it's the fake news of the cooking work — it's faked baking. the reason why it works is that it's more clickable, and clickbait content is currently working on the youtube algorithm. and apparently working on facebook, too. ann's been trying a lot of these
10:51 pm
recipes on her youtube channel, too. there's one on so yummy where they make cake icing out of strawberry ice cream. now, ann tried it, and it didn't work. i've also tried it, and it doesn't work. having a food science degree, i know what properties different things have and whether that will work or not. it's not possible to whip up ice cream, because the fat content is not high enough. even if you get the most luxurious ice cream you will get, it will not whip and make frosting. that's an example of the faked ones, but there are now some which are going to dangerous territory as well. one on 5—minute crafts they have one when they put a strawberry in bleach to make it white. if a child was to watch that and do it, they could consume a lot of bleach, which is obviously not good for them. there is another video where molten caramel is put over a spinning whisk to make a sort of birds nest decoration to put on top of a dessert. molten caramel is hot — like, it's hotter than boiling water. so we made a box and put plastic wrap in front of it. the hot caramel melted right through it.
10:52 pm
while we're here, those melted caramel cake decorations they show, that's not the best way to make those, either. it takes a long time to melt one sweet, and usually theyjust burn and stick to the pan. the professional — and just as easy — way, according to ann, is to put your sweets in a blender, put a thin layer of that on greaseproof paper and put it in the oven forjust a few minutes. that's an easy way to make caramel cake decorations that you can try at home. that was chris, and chris is here now. you didn't manage to bring me lunch, though, did you? i should have saved you some of my sweaty egg flan! i'm not sure it looked that appetising! what did the companies have to say? 5—minute crafts, which made the popcorn video that didn't pop, they didn't reply to my email. and first media, which runs the so yummy and blossom channel, well, they invited me to their studios in la to prove that the recipes work, but they said i couldn't film them doing it. they told me they only put recipes in the videos that do work, although i suspect not as shown in the video because we tried it and they didn't work,
10:53 pm
and the food scientist, ann, she said some of the recipes, there's no way they would work, even if you followed the instructions and used the most luxurious ingredients. so why are people so busy sharing these videos? i think they are obviously very visual, they are nicely produced. companies would say that the purpose of this is entertainment, they give you cooking ideas and inspiration. and, crucially, most of the people who watch these videos aren't actually going to actually try these recipes, theyjust like the visuals. keeping up with the pace of technological change can be difficult at the best of times — particularly for parents, who want to be able to keep track of what their children are doing, how much screen time they're having, whether all the content is appropriate. and never has this been more true than when it comes to videogames. so mark cieslak has been looking at this very problem with a spot of help from one of the best—known faces in football.
10:54 pm
father—of—three and ex—manchester united and england footballer rio ferdinand is fronting a campaign to encourage parents to learn about the parental controls they can use in their children's videogames. i was someone who's been fairly involved in gaming throughout my adult life, and my children play, and we thought we've had a good balance in our house. you get in, you do your school work, you do your chores about the house, you have a balance between the gaming and being outside. but having an understanding of what your children are actually doing, that's always so invaluable to me to understand what i can actually do in terms of actually controlling what type of games that they're on. do you think parents have to take more responsibility as far as videogames and their children are concerned? you have to take a key interest, like you take a key interest in your child's school life, take an interest in their game life because it's an integral part of their life nowadays like it or not. the get smart about play campaign is the work of the uk games industry trade body. it provides online guides
10:55 pm
about parental controls on consoles and computers, controls which can limit play time and prevent children spending real—world money on virtual items. well, we know that more than half of parents in the uk in particular have concerns about the amount of time their children and people in their care are spending playing games and on screens in general. this is part of an overall society digital literacy agenda. you know, so, really understanding boundaries, understanding how to protect yourself, understanding how to protect your privacy, it's part of a wider thing in society that i think we need to really pay attention to. research suggests that up to 99% of children in the uk aged between eight and is play video games regularly. compare this to research carried out by the nspcc which found only i9% of parents with children between aged of five and is actually use parental controls on devices which connect to the internet. but some parents think that the games industry should bear
10:56 pm
a greater response ability. are they trying to empower parents, or are they passing the buck? they have a purpose and a responsibility to actually protect the mental well—being of our children. that is part of their role as i see it. every company that is producing content for our children has to take on that responsibility. features in games like loot boxes, randomised in—game virtual items which can be bought with real—world cash, have been compared to gambling, and have led to increased scrutiny of the industry. so does it need to clean up its act? we are businesses at the end of the day, and these parental controls and family are important, because you can turn of in—game spending. that's why the conversation is really important, so it is a shared responsibility. —— turn off in game spending. while learning about parental controls improves digital literacy, perhaps some parents who play video games with their children might enjoy the experience as well.
10:57 pm
white met that is it for the short version of the programme. the... you can find us on youtube, facebook, instagram and twitter @ bbc quick. thanks for watching. hello, storm dennis continues to bring us some significant problems. we have had windy weather everywhere. the talk on saturday was 90 mph, windy nationwide, and heavy rain has led to flood warnings being issued. the latest number of flood warnings, it is well over 100. 87 at

the moment in england, 12 in wales. i mention those two in particular because we are seeing the number of flood warnings increase hour by hour. and with the met office remaining... things have potential to get much worse before they get better. here is storm dennis and the big problem is this weather front that stretches a couple of thousand miles out into the atlantic with the wind is just running miles out into the atlantic with the wind isjust running parallel to miles out into the atlantic with the wind is just running parallel to the front, nothing to shove it along and the weather front is getting stuck. what that means overnight is if anything the rain is going to get heavier, more persistent across parts of south—west england, the west midlands, wales, and at times parts of northern england. these are areas with flood warnings and force already. things could get quite nasty as we go on through the night and into sunday morning as well. quite a serious weather around i think. for the north and west, colder air filtering think. for the north and west, colder airfiltering and think. for the north and west, colder air filtering and blustery night everywhere especially around the coast and showers working into
10:59 pm
the coast and showers working into the north—west. tomorrow a band of rain will push its way southwards and eastwards but it could be slower moving. the rain couldn't linger even longer across southern and eastern areas of england lasting well into the afternoon. showers around yes and there will be another dusty day strong enough to bring down a few trees, and see for the disruption from that and also around the coast with gusts up to 70 mph with the winds picking up for a time through the english channel. beyond that into sunday evening, sunday night time, as the centre of dennis begins to pass the north of scotland, the winds pick up and get even strongerfor a time scotland, the winds pick up and get even stronger for a time in scotland and the far north of a man and again winds the strong could cause further issues with transport disruption lasting into the monday morning rush—hour in parts of scotland. from there the winds will very gradually begin to ease down. but i think we will describe monday as another windy day for sure. 20 of showers being blown in by the strong winds. and those winds will make you feel quite cold this well. tempers ran
11:00 pm
seven or 8 degrees maybe around nine or10 seven or 8 degrees maybe around nine or 10 degrees in the south but in short tonight and tomorrow, a risk of further heavy rain and a significant risk of fighting affecting parts of south—west england, the west midlands, wales, and northern ireland as well. this is bbc news, i'm martin crocs office of the headlines at 11. the love island presented caroline flack has been found dead in this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00: there have been many tributes. itv‘s phillip schofield wrote: "you poor darling girl. my heart is breaking." claudia winkleman tweeted: "such heartbreaking news." the army helps prepare for the worst, as storm dennis begins battering the uk. france announces the first death in europe
