5:02 pm
confirmed around 35 british nationals will be, we think, able to leave the cruise ship they've been quarantined on for more than two weeks and board the repatriation flight from japan back to the uk. the plane that will take them home has landed at haneda airport in tokyo, and will take off slightly later than planned due to its late arrival. jenny hill is in yokohama for us. explain what exactly hasn't happening in the last hour or so. explain what exactly hasn't happening in the last hour or som the last hour or so, the ordeal has finally come to an end for some of the british passengers who have been stuck on this ship by me for more than two weeks, confined by a large to their cabins. you can only imagine the relief they felt as they boarded the three buses and left the
5:03 pm
sport en route to the airport. they will be heading straight back to britain although they may now face a further two weeks of quarantine on the widow when they get there. we are not exactly sure on numbers. we understand there were a certain number of british passengers on the ship, it is unclear how many have disembarked and their privacy was paramount so authorities have constructed our walkway, a covered walkway, through which they walked onto coaches. the curtains were shut, i caught a glimpse into one, maybe a dozen or 20 people. government sources told the bbc they thought it might be around 35 people. crucially of course these are people who have tested negative for the coronavirus. it is why they have been allowed to disembark. anybody who was on the ship who may have shared a cabin with someone who tested positive and is therefore at risk of contamination is going to have to stay on board. and to look after them of course are a high
5:04 pm
number of crewmembers. some of whom we understand may be british. they are still on board. the japanese government has said it wants to disembark passengers by this weekend. with the caveat that those who are at—risk of being contaminated will be left behind for some time. waiting for the quarantine until they can finally leadership. that could take some time, the ship itself or be disinfected eventually. for scores of british people who left the ship tonight, a great deal to sell it and that they went by a few pulled the curtains to one side and gave us a rather cheery wave. all wedding facemasks. you got a sense of relief. 0ne facemasks. you got a sense of relief. one woman had spoken to the bbc a little earlier in the evening, saying she is of course thrilled and relieved to finally be going home, she was rather annoyed in fact it is taking so long, it has been about a day's worth of delays in getting the people of the ship but her thoughts we re very people of the ship but her thoughts were very much with the people who,
5:05 pm
the staff and passengers left behind on that ship. absolutely. still clearly a little to emerge. to clarify, around 35 people have been allowed to leave but as you suggest allowed to leave but as you suggest a lot more we still don't know about, it is late at night where you are, so it will be another day until we get more details about anyone left behind, britons or others. at the moment the authorities have not been too forthcoming about the numbers left on board. i think what we also need today in mind is that whilst people have come off the ship, we have tested negative for coronavirus, that test takes around two days for the results come back and we have seen in the last week new cases emerging. people testing negative on the ship. we know a couple of trillion citizens after travelling back having disembark travelling back having disembark travelling back having disembark travelling back to show your —— couple of australian citizens. then they tested tested positive. a lot
5:06 pm
of concern about the conditions on the vessel and whether people coming off can really be sure that they have not contracted the virus. and that it won't submission show up on further testing and that is the reason those people will face a further two—week quarantine at arrowe park hospital the wirral. just so authorities can be sure there is no further infection risk to the wider public. thank you very much. the latest from the port of yokohama where that crew ship has been since very early in the month. let's find out what the foreign 0ffice let's find out what the foreign office is saying. not precise numbers coming out? what are you hearing? we have an able to confirm a few more specifics about this evacuation from this end. we understand that around 35 british nationals have confirmed that they will be on that flight. that is
5:07 pm
slightly different from the numbers who will eventually be flying home from japan. slightly different from the numbers who may be on the bus. 35 british nationals have registered themselves to be on not evacuation flight. all themselves to be on not evacuation flight. all of those people who are on the buses will have been screened for the viruses. that is a big discrepancy between the numbers who originally were on this, 78 british nationals on board that cruise liner initially. you can see around 35 we are expecting around 35 british people flying home. what has happened to the other a0 odd people who are not in that number register for the evacuation flight? we do understand some british nationals have already been evacuated from the diamond some have already been flown to hong kong, it is likely some of these could be british nationals who are resident in hong kong but some of
5:08 pm
those, some of the other cohort not the 35 register for the evacuation flight, the 35 register for the evacuation flight, off the 78 some of them will be in health facilities injapan. we understand some of the members of crew. they may well be staying on board that ship. we have got this number of around 35 people reregistered that making cannot be the final number. there could be some who register for the flight and then did not want to turn up or the other way around. as of now, we think that that is around less than half the initial number on board the cruise liner who are flying home. for now, thank you very much. you will keep us up—to—date. meanwhile, south korea has stepped up measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus, as confirmed infections in the country increased
5:09 pm
sharply for a second day. and in ukraine, there have been clashes between protesters and police as coaches transported evacuees from china to a health centre. laura bicker has more. in south korea they are using every weapon at their disposal to combat an outbreak centred around this church. daegu — a city of over two million people — is at a standstill. the defence ministry has locked down military bases after several soldiers were confirmed with coronavirus. two people have now died. there are over 200 cases and several hundred others say they have symptoms. translation: there are many fewer people here. some car parks have closed and because there are so few people some shops have shut too. translation: a lot more people are wearing masks now.
5:10 pm
it's hard to find people who aren't. the fear surrounding this virus has turned to frenzy in some places. protesters in this ukrainian town attacked buses carrying evacuees from coronavirus—hit china. the president pleaded with them to show empathy. but there is still love in this time of coronavirus. in the philippines, over 200 couples got married at this mass wedding. they had to undergo health checks before the service. even with the masks, it's a welcome respite from the misery this outbreak has caused across the world. a woman who supported the banned islamic state group has admitted plotting to blow herself up in an attack on st paul's cathedral in london. safiyya shaikh, a 36—year—old muslim convert from hayes in west london, was arrested after an undercover police operation. she's admitted preparing an act of terrorism, by asking an undercover officer
5:11 pm
to supply bombs. dominic casciani is at the old bailey. he has been following events at the 0ld he has been following events at the old bailey. explain what happened at court today? this case on the face of it may sound incredibly almost fanciful. the idea of blowing up an entire cathedral but by her words, one admitted that his aim her intention, that was exactly her plan and the evidence as we understand it was that she archly went as far as she could in meetings with undercover police officers to acquire the bomb. to quite literally build! blow it up under the dome of st paul's. so serious was her threat, we understand she was one of the top ten priorities for investigation last autumn in the weeks after her arrest and that means she had an enormous amount of
5:12 pm
surveillance. she came to light because of her own comments online. there had been an investigation into how she was possibly running a pro—islamic state social media chat forum on unencrypted social media app. when the evidence confirmed she was behind that, encouraging attacks across europe, the investigation developed from there. undercover officers were tasked with befriending online. she confided in them who she believes were also extremists and slowly revealed her plan that she wanted to attack simples. and —— st paul's cathedral. this time, she wanted to make the threats real, she sent the officers a picture of the cathedral and said she wanted to put a bomb there, she saidi she wanted to put a bomb there, she said i want to destroy the enemies of islamic state. she sat down with a female officer in december who she
5:13 pm
believed to be an iis recruit, passed over to bags and asked for them to be filled with explosives and that became a critical piece of evidence replied to her admission of guilt. she will be sentenced in may. by guilt. she will be sentenced in may. by one of the most seniorjudges of the court. she could potentially face a life sentence. this was a complicated undercover operation. it was obviously vital to the investigation, how common is that sort of practice, some of the things you have described ? sort of practice, some of the things you have described? that is a really good question. what we have seen in recent yea rs good question. what we have seen in recent years is an increasing use of these undercover tactics because a lot of the extremism and a lot of the plotting on the far right and jihad inside is on social media chat groups which are encrypted so it is a priority for security services in the uk and also across parts of europe and america to get investigators inside those chat
5:14 pm
rooms where the hate and plotting is taking place. 0nce rooms where the hate and plotting is taking place. once the investigators are inside they have an opportunity to work out who is really going to walk the walk at the end of the day because you will have those who are full of big talk but the priority is for investigators work out who are the genuine threat and in this case they worked out that safiyya shaikh whose name has been changed, got her arrested and later her conviction today. the mother of grace millane, the british backpacker strangled in new zealand, has told a court her daughter died terrified and alone. gillian millane was speaking, as the killer — who can't be named for legal reasons — was jailed for a minimum of 17 years for murder. he killed grace millane only hours after they met
5:15 pm
through the dating app tinder, on the eve of her 22nd birthday. before sentencing, grace millane's mother gave an victim impact statement via video link, saying that her pain has been so great since her daughter died, that she'd considered suicide. 0ur correspondent, shaima khalil, has sent this report from auckland. 0n the eve of her 22nd birthday, grace millane spent a night out with this man. but, shortly after these pictures were captured, he murdered her. the killer has been jailed for life, with a minimum of 17 years without parole. a suppression court order means we still cannot reveal his identity. grace's mother gillian said her daughter would always be her sunshine. she addressed the killer directly via video link, saying he had ripped a hole in her heart.
5:16 pm
her brother declan was also emotional when he spoke about his little sister. this is the last place grace was seen alive, she had earlier met the man on tinder and cctv showed them together in bars around the city, before coming here, to where he lived. within a few hours, she was strangled in his room. during the trial, the jury heard that grace's killer took intimate photos of her dead body. he later put the corpse in a suitcase, and buried it in bush land on the outskirts of auckland. the chief police investigator criticised the defence, for arguing that grace's death was a case of rough sex gone wrong. strangling someone for five
5:17 pm
to ten minutes till they die is not rough sex. if people are going to use that type of defence, all it actually does is repeatedly revictimises the victim and the victim's family. campaigners say men are increasingly using the rough sex argument as a defence to try to get away with murdering women. in many cases we have looked at, defendants often have a history of really serious violence against women that the jury might not be aware of. we know of at least three cases where killers have used this defence and gone on to kill again, so we need to see this within a wider pattern of sexual violence against women and girls. grace's mother said no sentence the killer got would match a life without her daughter, but the case that shocked a nation and devastated a family, has finally come to an end. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, auckland.
5:18 pm
the headlines on bbc news. around 35 british passengers who've spent weeks quarantined on a cruise ship offjapan have finally been allowed off the boat and — are now on their way to tokyo to be flown home islamic state supporter safiyya shaikh admits plotting to blow up st paul's cathedral after confessing her plans to undercover police officers. prince charles hears from people in south wales about their experiences of the flooding caused by storm dennis. the coronavirus outbreak could have a huge impact on world trade. the face—off at tonight's weight in is cancelled. 0rganisers do not want a repeat of the shoving at wednesday's press conference. liverpool have suffered an injury blow. jordan henderson has been ruled out for three weeks because of
5:19 pm
a hamstring problem. it is the halfway point in the six nations. jonathanjoseph halfway point in the six nations. jonathan joseph gets his halfway point in the six nations. jonathanjoseph gets his 50th cap as eddiejones shuffles jonathanjoseph gets his 50th cap as eddie jones shuffles england's backline for the match against ireland. this let's return to coronavirus now and its impact on world trade, potentially huge. airlines say it could cost them more than £20 billion and there's growing concern for the global supply chains of a range of products from cars to smartphones. our business correspondent theo leggett is here.
5:20 pm
you theo leggett is here. happen looking through this probably you happen looking through this more probably because some industries reporting quite a knock on from this? particularly in southeast asia. the effects we are seeing at the moment and there are those we can expect in the next few weeks. you mentioned the aviation industry. we have had report from the international air transport industry body seeing the project the cost will be in the region of £22.6 million this year and demand for travel in southeast asia in particular is likely to be down by around i3% across the year. where is this coming from? a lot in china itself but also international carriers like british airways has cancelled services to beijing and shanghai up until mid april. klm and luftha nsa shanghai up until mid april. klm and lufthansa doing similar things. a big drop off in air travel at the moment in the region and that is feeding through and that means the air transport industry as a whole is likely to shrink for the first time
5:21 pm
in more than a decade. the car industry has also been badly hit. china is where current industry growth is about showrooms and factories were shut in federally, sales down 92%. at big whack for companies like jaguar land rover. it is one of its biggest markets. we have already seen that but there are other effects we have seen. you are talking about big industries but there is always a supply chain and they could presumably already be affected ? they could presumably already be affected? that is what is happening in china already. china is the workshop of the world and has factories up and down the country which are constantly churning out products and finished goods, parts underestimate. they go to ports and several weeks later arrive on our shores, some of them are used in factories, some are goods on the high street. the problem is that factories in china have been shutdown for longer than expected. there was a shutdown you would normally see which is the lunar new
5:22 pm
year. a holiday. that interruption was extended because of coronavirus. the factories have not been getting back to work as quickly as people thought which means ships have not been selling us frequently so one of the big container operators says it had to cancel 50 sailings. that means a supply of goods over the next few weeks is likely to be interrupted. there will be delays. for a car—maker, jaguar land rover is one we can site, it means potential shortages of parts. goods on the high street, there may be shortages. we have heard from apple that iphones are likely to be in high demand. ships that are already sailing, some of the product products coming to us but some won't be so this is not likely to be sorted soon because even if all the factories were back up and running today, the products would not be making it to us for several more weeks. we will talk about this again iam sure weeks. we will talk about this again i am sure but thank you for now.
5:23 pm
the prince of wales has visited south wales this afternoon to meet residents and businesses affected by severe flooding. parts of pontypridd were left underwater following storm dennis. the uk is bracing itself for another weekend of rain, with the met office issuing a yellow weather warning for parts of northern england and scotland. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan is in pontypridd. prince charles was here earlier today visiting businesses that had an affected by storm dennis. the high street was under roughly three feet of water at its worst part. joe, you own the bakery where we are now. explain to us how the storm has affected your business. it has affected your business. it has affected us, we are split—level

5:31 pm
those early years for me was the wonderful two hander that they did with ethel and dot, i think it was episode 2a8 in 1987, don't know ysl remember the numbers, but there you go. it was these two ladies talking foran go. it was these two ladies talking for an entire half—hour. i can amend being on the studio, we had the whole studio, the script department, producers and we were sat there and basically enthralled for this half—hour play with these two fantastic actresses. a real privilege to be there. storylines which talked about the history of the east end. an east end that a much younger member of the cast would not know anything about. absolutely. the creators had a sense of wanting to have a history of the area in the programme. it was characters like june

5:37 pm
let's get more now on the news that a woman who supported the banned islamic state group has admitted plotting to blow herself up in an attack on st paul's cathedral in london. safiyya shaikh, a 36—year—old muslim convert from hayes in west london, was arrested after an undercover police operation. joining me is jahan mahmood, who was an adviser to the government on its counter—extremism strategy prevent, and now runs deradicalisation programme for youngsters in the west midlands. thanks so much for your time. there's been a lot of mention that this woman is a muslim convert. how releva nt this woman is a muslim convert. how relevant is that as far as you're concerned? i think that's important because it's something you haven't really focused much on in the interviews that i've done. we often find that people who convert are quite vulnerable. i recall a
5:38 pm
colleague of mine who was working on the front line and he actually said a number of years back, people who are looking for a way out of their psychological problems and life issues can have mental health issues, they are looking for ultimately, a community, a sense of belonging and those who have come into islam are easy pickings for extremist recruiters who know about their vulnerability and how easy it is to manipulate them because they know so little about islam. so they know so little about islam. so they know so little and they almost want to prove themselves if i can put it that way. in some regard. it's really about indoctrination because it's those who end up in good hands. the vast majority of converts are not a problem whatsoever. it's those who are at the other end who are a bit of a concerned, and if you look at the perpetrators over the last 18,19 at the perpetrators over the last 18, 19 years, at the perpetrators over the last 18,19 years, since the war on
5:39 pm
terror began is that there's been a number of converts. there highly vulnerable, sometimes with mental health issues. and the radicalisation is done largely online? and we set that? it is. in this case, she was radicalised online which has been a major concern for britain for a number of yea rs. concern for britain for a number of years. the propaganda that was espoused by isis was a serious concern and was able to manipulate muslims and even non—muslims to come and fight for muslims and even non—muslims to come and fightforan muslims and even non—muslims to come and fight for an outfit that's not very muslim. it explains how effective they are recruiting system is online. and whose fault is that? that is still going on but it's still possible. it is still possible but i believe in britain, we become -- i think but i believe in britain, we become —— i think a lot of the voices that are espousing that kind of hateful message and that poisonous, obnoxious narrative are abroad.
5:40 pm
please continue. my point was you are talking about how much of it is online, albeit with a shift more laterally, but is that still a problem of technology? no sooner does any organisation learn how to ta ke does any organisation learn how to take down extremist material for example, it's easy, technically speaking to find another way to post it. there's always a way out. i just think that the counter narrative has not been strong enough, even from muslims. i think the narrative is in place to defend us against it and if anything, going back to the report in 2008, the research showed that people who know more about islam are actually better protected against the online extremist recruiters, so i think that there is definitely a failure from the muslim scholars in the uk and abroad. i think the government hasn't done a good job in
