of the hot spots in the coronavirus outbreak has touched down in wiltshire. the passengers, who have spent two weeks in quarantine on the diamond princess injapan, are now on their way to a hospital in the wirral where they'll spend another fortnight in isolation. our correspondent fiona trott sent this report from arrowe park hospital. finally, back in britain. they have waited a long time for this, and their patience has been tested. after more than two weeks of quarantine on board the diamond princess, this 12 hour repatriation flight was delayed. they then started a four hour coach journey to the north of england. this will be their new home for the next two weeks, a nursing accommodation block. it is at arrowe park hospital. they will have clinical supplies. and some home comforts.

the staff here have already looked after patients. they are slightly different, they have come from a cruise ship rather than their own homes in china. we are working exactly the same as we did before with the health care professionals to make sure that they are safe and well managed and comfortable whilst they with us. the passengers left the diamond princess on friday night. it carried 78 britons, some had already been evacuated to hong kong. it is understood that the others include crew members who are thought to be staying on board. at least four of them are still injapan, they contracted the virus on the ship. two of them are david and sally abel who also had pneumonia. at first they were relieved at the care they received but today the family are anxious and angry. my father said i cannot do any more, it is like prison. we have one toilet to share and no washing facilities. we have a small window overlooking a brick wall

and no natural daylight. no treatment. as the coach makes it way to the well these travellers are preparing themselves for yet another two weeks of quarantine. they may be back on uk soil but there are still far from home. our reporter corinne wheatley is at arrowe park hospital for us. corinne, can you tell us any more about the preparations that have been made for these people? well, arrangements are clearly stepping up now. there is a little bit more activity at arrowe park hospital and they are clearing expecting the arrival shortly. vehicles are now being stopped from entering the road that the coaches will travel down. this is not the main entrance to the hospital, it is ona main entrance to the hospital, it is on a different part of the site and we understand that when the coaches carrying the passengers arrive, they will probably stop the traffic on

the main road to allow that to enter. we have seen a police vehicle here in the last hour or so and security guards from the hospital as well. given that the coaches left boscombe down around one o'clock, we are expecting them to arrive in around an hourorso. are expecting them to arrive in around an hour or so. what has not yet been confirmed by the nhs is what will happen to the european passengers among that number, whether they will be staying here as well. they have been travelling now for several hours and we know they had a delay journey for several hours and we know they had a delayjourney as well and there will be an effort to try and keep them comfortable. we know there are communal areas in the hospital accommodation that they can use, so they can talk to each other. and we know that by the time their two weeks are up, they will have been in quarantine for over a month, so the end is not quite in for them yet. thank you for that update. there are new hopes of a peace deal in afghanistan with the start of a seven day period

of what's being called "reduced violence" between us—led forces and taliban fighters. it could lead to the withdrawal of foreign troops after nearly two decades of war. from kabul, our correspondent secunder kermani reports. celebrations late last night as the "reduction in violence" came into effect. for the next seven days, the taliban, afghan government and us forces have promised not to carry out major attacks. helping pave the way, it's hoped, for an eventual peace deal. afghanistan is a country that has been torn apart by conflict. tens of thousands have been killed. for more than a year, though, the united states has been trying to negotiate an exit to its longest ever war. the taliban wants to make a deal. we'll see if they want to make a deal, it's got to be a real deal. but we'll see. that has meant talking to the taliban. the two sides have drawn up a deal that would see a timetable established for the withdrawal

of american troops in exchange for the taliban breaking links with groups like al-qaeda. if this week passes peacefully, they will sign an agreement next weekend. it depends how honest the taliban are. if they do what they say, we will have peace. if they don't, they are just playing with us. but even if the us—taliban agreement is signed, that won't be the end of this conflict. instead, it will signal the start of a new set of discussions, this time between the taliban and other afghan political leaders, about a broader ceasefire and about how the country should be run in the future. for many afghans, the immediate priority is peace. more than 3000 civilians lost their lives here last year. now there's a chance, at least, of an end to the violence. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. a man has appeared in court charged with carrying out a knife attack at a mosque in central

london on thursday. daniel horton is accused of stabbing raafat maglad, who's in his 70s. 0ur correspondentjenny kumah gave us this update from westminster magistrates' court... daniel horton appeared in court at around noon. he sat for most of the hearing with his head down. he spoke to confirm his head down. he spoke to confirm his name, age and described his nationality is british. he is charged with grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article. he is accused of attacking a 70—year—old mosque official on thursday afternoon, raafat maglad was taken to hospital and treated for a wound to his neck. he was back at prayer is the following day. the prosecutor says that raafat maglad and the defendant would have known of each other, the defendant had attended the mosque for a number of yea rs. attended the mosque for a number of years. the court heard that daniel horton had no fixed address, he has

been remanded in custody and he will appear at southwark crown court on march the 20th. i should just say that the police have said that they do not believe that this incident is terror —related. the uk is bracing itself for more bad weather today — as the recovery from storms ciara and dennis continue. there are still over 120 flood warnings in england, scotland and wales —— and the met office has also issued 3 yellow warnings for wind, rain and snow across the uk. earlier our correspondent robert hall, who is in knaresborough in north yorkshire, gave us the latest from there. knaresborough is a very good place to come to show you what's going on right across flood—affected areas. for those who know or have visited knaresborough, you'll know it is a very pretty town on a hillside with a river flowing through a gorge through the middle of the town. there is a huge volume of water coming through this morning, we do have blue skies and the occasional shower, the heavy rain has passed for the moment, but this water is coming down

from the moors, the dales north of here, down the streams and then into the river. you can see that there is some localised flooding in the centre, some riverside properties flooded — a picture repeated across flood areas. there is a weirjust below me, about 100 metres down. let us show you the amount of water coming over here which gives you just an indication of what is downstream of here and what they are facing. there is still an existing problem even though the rain has stopped, there is still a risk and that water is carrying debris which can getjammed into weirs and flood control measures against bridges and that can cause problems once again and of course, really what you're looking at is the river spreading out into a flood plane which will affect roads and riverside properties. that is the picture and i think it is safe to say that we were up in the pennines yesterday and that area had suffered

badly in the last bout of flooding and things are dry there, but there is still an awful lot to do and every time we get rain into water courses like this, there is another potential problem and it slows down efforts to try and get to properties and assess damage and to work out where people go next. it is still an uncertain time and we have got some respite across the country today, clearerskies, heavy showers, occasionally heavy, and a strong wind right across the north of england and up into scotland and northern ireland, that is another problem, another yellow warning. the overall picture i think is improving, the river here should drop later today, once all that floodwater from overnight has come down and just maybe, we are out of the woods for the time being but that will not mean anything to all those thousands of people who have seen properties and businesses damaged and in some cases ruined.

blue british passports will be issued for the first time in almost 30 years from next month. the government has confirmed that now the uk has left the eu, burgundy passports will be phased out but holders can keep their existing documents until they expire. the new passports will be made by a french firm, but the home office says photographs and personal details will be added in the uk, so no personal data is sent abroad. the democratic presidential hopeful, bernie sanders, has warned russia not to meddle in us elections. mr sanders confirmed a report in the washington post, that us intelligence officials had told him moscow was trying to help his campaign. president trump has dismissed similar claims about his campaign as a hoax. chris buckler sent this report from washington. us intelligence officials have long

believed that russia tried to interfere in america's 2016 election by spreading disinformation online. and, four years on, they've briefed members of congress that moscow is meddling again. this time, notjust to help donald trump, but also the democratic candidate who is his political polar opposite, bernie sanders. an apparent attempt to sow more division in a country already split by mr trump's presidency. but although this information came from his own intelligence agencies, america's commander—in—chief has dismissed the claims as a hoax being spread by his political opponents. it's disinformation. that's the only thing they're good at. they are not good at anything else. they get nothing done — do—nothing democrats. senator sanders is the current front runner in the democratic party battle to challenge mr trump. and he's far from sceptical about the allegations of interference, even claiming that russia might be responsible for some online attacks that have been

attributed to his campaign. mr putin is a thug. he is an autocrat. he may be a friend of donald trump's, he is not a friend of mine. let me tell mr putin, the american people — whether you are republicans, democrats, independents — are sick and tired of seeing russia and other countries interfering in our elections. supporters of bernie sanders are at the opposite end of the political spectrum to president trump's. and the american authorities clearly fear that russia can take advantage of that kind of fight for the presidency in an attempt to disrupt democracy once again in the united states. the headlines on bbc news... a plane carrying britons who had been trapped on a coronavirus—hit cruise ship injapan have landed back in the uk. the 32 british and european passengers are now being taken by coach from wiltshire to arrowe park hospital

in the wirral, where they'll begin a 1k day quarantine. a 29—year—old man has been remanded in custody on charges of grievous bodily harm and possessing a bladed article in connection with a stabbing at a mosque in central london on thursday. with a stabbing at a mosque and with a stabbing at a mosque in sport, scotland clai first and in sport, scotland claimed their first win of the first nations campaign as they beat italy 70—0 in tom aggar chelsea strike a blow in the fight for a place in the top four with victory over tottenham at sta mford four with victory over tottenham at stamford bridge. and the way n is done and the countdown is on to fury against wider in las vegas tonight. who will win a huge rematch? i will be back with more on those stories that have past five. in china, nearly 400 hundred more infections of coronavirus and over 100 deaths have been

reported — mostly in hubei province, where the crisis began. but if official figures are any indication — in many parts of the country restrictions on people travelling, working and gathering in large groups appear to be slowing the spread of the disease. steve mcdonell has the latest. china's coronavirus infections and deaths continue to increase. the vast majority of new cases are in hubei province, where the outbreak started. in wuhan, the worst hit city, even those who have recovered now have to spend another two weeks in quarantine to make sure they are not contagious. but those leaving hospital seem pretty happy. translation: i'm very grateful to the authorities and medical staff. they work very hard. when i was in hospital i saw that people were demonising us patients, but we are also victims. none of us wanted this to happen. instead of running around, we were in quarantine at the first chance we got.

seven cruise ships have been brought into wuhan to help house thousands of extra medical staff who have poured into the city. given the infections onboard a ship quarantined injapan, this is attracting a level of ridicule on social media. most people are staying indoors. a notable exception has been the army of delivery drivers risking infection to keep everyone fed. translation: because we had contact with people, those we meet possibly feel we are not safe to be around. if you get too close to others, like to ask for directions, they will keep away from you. some people are still terrified of this illness. gradually, there does seem to be more optimism here. china ‘s official coronavirus figures are not catching all the cases. how could they? but if we look at the numbers in trend terms, they do

seem to be showing that, outside of hubei, measures being taken by the authorities are slowing the spread of the disease. so in places like this, the chinese capital, businesses will be coming back and filling up these towers again. but it will be happening in a staged process and the hope is that that will not result in another explosion in cases and the sickness kicking off, growing all over again. this is a country which cannot wait to return to normal. steve mcdonnell, bbc news, beijing. some of england's top rugby union clubs are backing a new scheme being rolled out to help young boys to spot the signs of mental health problems. just yesterday, former international danny cipriani, spoke about his own struggles with depression in a video he posted following the death of his former girlfriend, caroline flack. this report from frankie mccamley.

a man who is used to hard tackles, but yesterday, danny cipriani tackled a very hard subject — the death of his former girlfriend caroline flack. i was so vulnerable with her in my moment, when we first met, and i told her everything about me, because i felt safe with her. so i told her all the things that i was embarrassed and shameful about. she made me feel ok. and, ultimately, it was embarrassment and shame that killed her. so i'm telling everyone now what my most embarrassing and shameful moments are, because i know she knew i had the strength to do this. his emotional video was praised by the men's health charity movember, who are encouraging young rugby players all over the country to talk. i have seen a couple of players look quite down, and i go over to them and try

and pick them back up. you make a mistake, you think, i've messed it all up, and everyone's going to get angry with me. sometimes our match is posted online, and sometimes there can be mean comments coming towards you. the initiative has the support of top rugby clubs and stars including harlequins danny care, who is encouraging young players to open up in what is often seen as a macho sport. here on the rugby pitch, it is physical, it is tough, it can be brutal at times. every mistake these young lads make in a match can be right in front of hundreds of people. not always good for the mental health. so that's why, here at this rugby club, they are taking time to talk. off the pitch, away from scrutiny, where there is a place to reflect. for me, i think the mental side of the game is just as important as the physical side of the game. the movember charity is teaming up with rugby clubs across england to deliver mental health workshops to more than 8,000 boys

aged between 12 and 18. and, as young boys, what do we think about that? what do we think about, like, a man like tyson fury talking about mental health? if a person like tyson fury can get through it, it makes you think that pretty much anyone can get through it. in a setting they feel comfortable in, the programme aims to help boys spot signs of depression and anxiety in team—mates, and where to go if anybody needs help. how do you deal with the game mentally, if you feel quite bad, or the press is treating you badly after it? one week you play really well, your team wins, you maybe score a try, everyone thinks you're the best player in the world. a week after, you throw an intercept in twickenham in front of 80,000 people, like i did. it's onlyjust a game. there's more important things in life. i've got great family, great friends around me, that can take my mind off rugby, and itjust gave me more motivation and determination to come back stronger, fitter, faster.

the sports psychologists who developed the programme believe it can help prevent male suicide. if itjust affects one of them, if one of them maybe thinks maybe i'm struggling a little bit, i'll speak to one of my mates, i'll pull him aside and tell him i'm struggling, or go to a coach or a teacher or a parent. suicide remains one of the biggest killers of men under 50 in the uk. we need to change those statistics, and we need to do something about that at an early stage. so this programme is all about prevention and early intervention, and supporting boys as they go through into adult life, to be more resilient and have coping mechanisms. the programme has been welcomed by players on this pitch, but there is much more to do for those who don't have a team around them. and, for men in particular, mental health remains an uncomfortable subject to talk about.

the dalai lama is marking the 80th anniversary of his enthronement as the spiritual leader of tibetan buddhism — a position he's held almost entirely in exile. identified as the incarnation of tibetan buddhism's supreme religious leader when he was two he fled tibet in 1959, when the chinese army crushed a popular uprising. he made his base in northern india, but has travelled the world, meeting religious and political leaders. he won the nobel peace prize in 1989. his office said, there would be no commemoration of the anniversary. fans of the tv series ‘friends' are celebrating, after news of the reunion they've been waiting more than 15 years for — is finally happening. all 6 of the cast posted this picture last night, with the caption ‘it‘s happening' — confirming their return for a one—off unscripted special. i've been speaking to tv

critic emma bullimore. well it is exciting, but it is not it is not another episode. if it was another episode, that would be amazing, off the charts. this is going to be more like, perhaps, a documentary, an interview... they are rumoured to be getting about £2 million just for doing that, though, because people are so invested in this tv show. it is the biggest tv show in the world. don't let anyone tell you that it is game of thrones, friends is the biggest show ever. so why now? is this all about the money? well, this is a pr stunt for hbo max, which is a streaming service from hbo. they have got the rights for friends in the us and this is going to be sort of a showcase for them. it is an opportunity for them to show people what hbo max is and to get people involved. we are not sure how that is going to work in the uk, whether we will be able to see it, but that is the deal here, so it is a kind of thing to say, come and watch things on hbo max, because we have got the cast

of friends together for the first time, all six of them on screen together for the first time since 2004, so that is a big deal. that is kind of why now. plus, you know, the show isjust as big as it ever was. even though it was on tv such a long time ago, millennials are rediscovering it, via netflix over here, the rewatch rewatchability of the show is huge. nothing is spoiled for you. you can easily go back and watch and watch and watch. those characters are so important to people. so, whatever these actors do, whatever friends stuff happens, people will turn up in their droves. you know, emma, the thing about friends was those one—liners, i mean the scripting team were amazing in what they produced. now if they really are to go unscripted, is that going to work? i mean, us productions are heavily produced. yeah, i think this will be quite relaxed. it is not going to be anything like an episode, it is going to be an interview perhaps, we don't know the exact details, but i am assuming

they are going to show us around the set, they are going to say, oh, this used to be my dressing room, do you remember when we did this, do you remember this funny thing that happened... it will be more like a big interview is what i am expecting. but because it is so rare to get them all together, the anticipation is really high, but, yeah, don't worry that they are doing some kind of unscripted version of them in character, it is going to be them as actors talking about the show. residents in one californian community have received a somewhat unwelcome guest — a wild black bear. the animal — weighing nearly two—hundred kilos — could be seen wandering around the streets and gardens of monrovia — a town near los angeles. tim allman reports. believe it or not, this isn't exactly an uncommon sight around these parts. monrovia backs onto the angeles national forest, so black bears do occasionally take a stroll through the neighbourhood. ‘stroll‘ being the operative word. this particular animal, described by wildlife officials as an old lady, seemed to be in no particular hurry.

from driveways to gardens, she sauntered very much at her own speed. that laid—back attitude seemed to be infectious. no—one seemed too perturbed. capturing the moment on camera seemed to be the priority for some. and it was hard to work out who was the more ferocious. a big black bear, or some slightly smaller animals. the local police were alerted and said they were monitoring the situation, adding that the california department of fish and wildlife were on their way. eventually, they arrived and the bear was tranquilized and taken away for a checkup. assuming she's ok, she will be returned to the wild. in the meantime, someone may need to buy a new sign. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello. today may have brought sunshine and showers, but there is another spell of rain

heading our way over night tonight and it looks like it will turn very wet in places. some of the higher totals look to be into the welsh hills. this is not good news where we have seen recent flooding. some hill snow perhaps, parts of northern ireland and northern england, more especially into southern scotland. northern scotland, icy, with wintry showers. windy again, particularly the southern towards flank of the area of rain and at least tomorrow it is going to clear away after a wet start. still into the afternoon, perhaps, though, some cloud, south wales, southern england, with shari bursa fraying. elsewhere it is brightening up. there will be a few showers around, but deeper on into the day, fewer showers compared with today. the wind isn't going to be quite as strong. it is still quite blustery out there. the average speeds, wind gusts will be higher. what we are left with, actually, is an afternoon that with a bit more sunshine around, may not quite feel as chilly. but then again... it is wet and windy as we start off on monday morning. goodbye.

hello, this is bbc news with me, lukwesa burak. the headlines: thirty two british and european tourists are on their way to a coronavirus quarantine centre in merseyside, after being brought back to the uk from japan on a special flight. a 29—year—old man has been remanded in custody on charges of grievous bodily harm and possessing a bladed article in connection with a stabbing at a mosque in central london on thursday. the met office warns the uk to brace itself for more bad weather with warnings of snow in scotland, strong winds and more rain on the way. some of england's top rugby union clubs back a new scheme being rolled out to help young boys spot the signs of mental health problems. and...the cast of friends is to reunite for a one—off special programme — more than 15 years since the show ended.
