there were broadway were 78 brits, there were nearly 4000 passengers on board. four brits had tested positive on board the ship. two of those are david and sally from northamptonshire and they are being treated in japan. northamptonshire and they are being treated injapan. but the coach that has just arrived at the arrowe park hospital on the wirral contains or has 30 british and two irish nationals who are about to spend a further 14 days quarantine at the hospital itself. i will is there. you have been there all day waiting and they have finally arrived. yes, they have finally arrived and what a long journey it has been for them. the coaches carrying the passages from the diamond princess arrived here in the last couple of minutes with police and ambulance escorts and there will be taken straight into the nursing accommodation at

arrowe park hospital here on the web role which will be their home here for the next two weeks for the remaining part of the quarantine. what a long journey it has been. they have already spent 16 days in quarantine on board that ship and this is not the final destination week you would have expected as you embark ona week you would have expected as you embark on a cruise holiday. we know that arrowe park hospital has some experience taking care of quarantine passengers. this is where the passengers. this is where the passengers returning from china came last month and the hospital have said they will be using that as a blueprint to how they look after these 32 passengers over the next couple of weeks before hopefully they will be finally allowed to return home. we understand that the nhs are testing certain kits that they will use in the event of suspicions of coronavirus, tell us more. yes, this is a pilot scheme thatis more. yes, this is a pilot scheme that is running in london at the moment. the idea, they're looking at the possibility of being able to

test people at home for coronavirus in the event that it does start to spread in the uk and that the pilot scheme may be extended to outside of london in due course. it is in the event of a possible spread of coronavirus throughout the uk. this has been a very long journey for the 32 brits, the remaining 32 brits. i think there are some british staff that remain on board that ship in japan but there has been some criticism, hasn't there? in terms of how the british government have looked after their national squads? this has been a long and difficult journey, we did hear some criticism from some passages saying they went happy and had difficult accommodation, not much natural daylight and that it has been quite unpleasant for them over the last couple of weeks and that repatriate and flight back from tokyo was delayed by some time as well, that's

12 hourflight, delayed by some time as well, that's 12 hour flight, so, delayed by some time as well, that's 12 hourflight, so, yes it has been a long and difficultjourney. we have had some criticisms from some passages. clearly, the foreign secretary, dominic raab, will be pleased to see that they have arrived. a huge police presence behind you. just to remind viewers that he confirms that we have brought 32 british and european citizens it safely home from japan. 0ur number one priority has consistently been the health and safety of uk nationals. but what can you tell us about the british couple that were on board that cruise liner for their 50th anniversary. they remain injapan? yes, suffering from pneumonia as well and has been some criticism around that case in are passages that have a right back to, as you say, 30 of them are british and two of them are irish. at the moment, we are told that there are no further repatriation flights and back to the uk. 0k, thank you very much in deed. so, just to reiterate,

the passengers from the... the former passengers from the cruise liner that had been harboured just off the yokohama coast have finally arrived at their destination where they will be monitored for the next 14 days. so there were 30 british nationals and two irish nationals who will be spending back 14 day quarantine at arrowe park hospital on the wirral. 0ur correspondent fiona trott has the story of the journey from japan to arrowe park hospital. finally back in britain, they have waited a long time for this and their patients has been tested. after more than two weeks of quarantine on board the diamond princess, the 12 hour repatriation flight princess, the 12 hour repatriation flight was delayed and then, it 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 lock at arrowe park hospital. they will have clinical supplies and a few home comforts. staff here have already looked after travellers from china and know what to expect. the group of people is slightly different, obviously they have come from a cruise ship rather than their own homes but we are working exactly the same as we were before with the public health england to make sure they are safe and well managed whilst they are with us. the passengers left the diamond princess on friday night, it was carrying 78 britons, some have already been evacuated to hong kong. it is understood that the others include crew members who were thought to be staying on board. at least four are still in japan.

two of them are david and sally abel who also had pneumonia. at first they were relieved at the hospital 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 in our hotel room overlooking a brick wall and no natural daylight. it's awful. no treatment. as the coach makes its way to the wirral, these travellers are preparing themselves for yet another two weeks of quarantine. they may be back on uk soil but are still far from home. meanwhile, the world health 0rganization has warned that africa would struggle to contain the spread of the coronavirus if there was an outbreak on the continent. that concern comes as clusters of the virus continue to grow outside china. in south korea, the number of infections has more than doubled in the last 24 hours.

229 new cases of coronavirus were confirmed on saturday, bringing the number of confirmed infections in the country to 433. the prime minister of south korea has described the situation as i. most of the cases are in cheongdo and nearby daegu, in the south—east of the country. 0ur correspondent laura bicker has more from the capital, seoul. the area of concern is around the city of daegu. it is south korea's fourth largest city, a city of two and a half million people and the two areas of concern within there involve a hospital and a church. within the hospital, where there are 300 elderly and vulnerable patients, a third of them now have a coronavirus. two people there have died. nine staff have the coronavirus. outside of that, there is a church, the shincheonji church. it is a fringe religious movement but it has a half a million members

throughout south korea. 9000 of whom are in this area. they have all been told to stay at home. they've all been told to go into quarantine and they are being interviewed to see if they have any symptoms. 1000 of them say that they have coronavirus symptoms. it doesn't necessarily mean that they have the virus. they need to test positive for the rise but it is concerning for health authorities. now, it appears that the members of this church were all at the hospital for a funeral a few weeks before so that seems to be the connection but right now, the race is on to find out how many people they have been in contact with within the last few weeks as they battle to try to prevent the spread of this virus. 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 outside 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 name, age and described his nationality as 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 prayers 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 years. the court heard that daniel horton has 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.

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.

the former rebel leader of south sudan, riek machar, has been sworn in as first vice—president, sealing a peace deal aimed at ending six years of civil war. president salva kiir, seen here in the hat, and embracing mr machar, witnessed the ceremony in the capitaljuba. it is hoped the new unity government will end the conflict that has killed 400,000 people and displaced millions. more rain has caused flooding in sodden areas of england still trying to recover from twostorms in two weeks. 120 flood warnings are in place in england, scotland and wales. last night the yorkshire dales bore the brunt of the rain, firefighters rescued people from 10 homes in settle, and helped drivers stuck in their cars. 0ne village was cut off, as peter mcnerney reports.

the aftermath of more relentless rain, and now the yorkshire dales in the grip of the atrocious weather. posts on social media showing how one village, horton in ribblesdale, was temporarily cut off to cars as the downpours wreaked their havoc. at 2:30 this morning, just in the dip here, was waist—deep in water. the craven pothole club in the village had their work cut out to fight against the rising waters at their local hq. i have been coming up here 35 years. the water levels last night were the highest that i have ever seen. we do, however, seem to have escaped the worst of it. water did come into our cottage up to a depth of about ten inches. then, as fast as it had arrived, it had gone again. as fields in the area resemble lakes, customers were back at the village pub this lunchtime. the landlord has lived here all his life. it rises very fast. in about half an hour, it can come up in about two

foot in half an hour. but on the other hand, it can go down. when it stops raining, it goes down a foot an hour. we shut shop at ten o'clock last night. i can't go out and say "stop coming over" to the water, can i? so, just pot luck, you just shut up and go home, and you have to deal with it the next day. so, another weekend, the yorkshire weather has been another deluge. and the forecast? another spell of heavy rain. the headlines on bbc news: thirty two british and irish tourists have arrived at a quarantine centre on the wirral — after being evacuated from a coronavirus—hit cruise ship in japan. fears about the spread of the virus as the number of new coronavirus cases in south korea more than doubles in one day. a 29—year—old man appears in court in connection with a stabbing inside london's central mosque

during afternoon prayers. new research has found unsafe building materials in tower blocks across greater manchester is costing residents hundreds of thousands of pounds, and posing a continued risk. almost three years after the fire at grenfell tower, it's understood almost 80 complexes don't meet current safety standards. alex bell reports. this is aluminium cladding and then is polystyrene which is combustible. this is flammable? flammable material? yes. rebecca lives in this block of flats in central manchester but since the grenfell tragedy injune 2017, she has been living under the shadow of her building's poor fire safety. there is an assumption that regulations have been there when it was built and there has been sufficient fire safety record throughout so you buy in good faith.

when she found out about the unsafe design, she tried to move out, only to be told that her property was worthless. i can't sell unless i sell to a cash buyer at a ridiculously low price. i can't remortgage. the results of a new survey carried out by the greater manchester high—rise task force, which was set up in the wake of the grenfell tragedy, has found that residents just like rebecca are paying a heavy financial toll just for living in unsafe homes and it is having a serious effect on their mental health. it is just a huge strain. the anxiety, every night you go to sleep and you don't know if your building is safe or not. it has a huge impact on hundreds of thousands of us. next week, rebecca and other residents willjoin the city's mayor along with salford city mayor, paul dennett, to lobby outside westminster. they want the government to stump up funds to make these buildings safe and allow residents to move on. just get the cladding down, get it off these buildings

because then people will have peace of mind that it is safe. i don't want my residents here in greater manchester to continue another nearly three years of this absolutely shocking turmoil that has transformed their lives, turned their worlds upside down. this is really not good enough. the duke and duchess of sussex have confirmed they'll stop using the word "royal" as a brand name, after giving up their official roles. the decision means the couple's application to trademark "sussex royal" has been withdrawn. here's our royal correspondentjonny dymond. royal no more. this was not what they wanted. harry and meghan thought they could create a new role, half in, half out. but now that idea is finished. their website, sussex royal, will go, their social media id will have to change, their foundation will have to find another name.

in the uk and around the world, the word "royal" will no longer be attached to harry and meghan or to their activities. earlier this week, it was announced that their office in buckingham palace would close, that harry's honorary military commands would be suspended, that their last royal duties would come in march. but no—one knew if they would still be able to use the word, "royal". now we know. come april, their public royal life is finished. the choice is independence or royalty. they chose royal no more. jonny dymond, bbc news. 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. 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 is 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 0k. 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 and 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. south africa has held a state funeral forjoseph shabalala, the founder of the ladysmith black mambazo singing group. he died at the age of 78 earlier this month. south africa's president led the tributes, calling shabalala a true ambassador for south african and zulu cultre. nomsa maseko has more. melodic chanting. whistling. a send—off fit for a man who put

isicathamiya on a global platform. joseph shabalala, the gentle—voiced musician, remembered for playing an unparalleled role in introducing the sound of zulu traditional music to the world. the founder of ladysmith black mambazo, the most popular vocal group africa has ever produced, was awarded a state funeral. he was one of south africa's most decorated artist and. a musical genius. a prolific composer, who as we heard, would sleep for two hours and want to be composing for the rest of the night. he performed his magical art before multitudes of people around the world. he enthralled ordinary people, kings and queens, presidents,

bishops, fellow artist, and many others. the funeral service was filled with musical tributes. young and old mourned, and also celebrated his legacy. we really honour him, and we thank what he did for the whole of the nation. what is your favourite song from ladysmith black mambazo? he sings. they sing. but no one else could relate to his music more than his fellow group members. even though they have lost their leader, the show must go on.

ladysmith black mambazo is set to continue with their us tour next week. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. there is more rain on the way. we have at last had a bit of blue sky today and not too many of those showers during the afternoon. at least eastern parts of england, it has been very wintry and parts in scotland. this is another spell of rain coming in overnight. at sometimes heavy into the places that has in the west of the flooding, the welsh hills will see high rain totals again. as it reaches its way northwards, there will be a bit of hill snow to northern ireland, northern england and southern scotland. northern scotland keeping the wintry showers, icing places,

windy with this next weather system, particular in three southern areas, sing the extent of the rain as we start off on sunday morning. it is on the way out so it is mainly overnight and first thing on sunday. the four that clears away and then we are into quite a chilly breeze but also a few showers again. although they will tend to fade, later in the day, only because another weather system is going to move in on sunday night. after that what started in the morning, even into the afternoon through parts of southern england and south wales they could be some figure clad and showery parts around. still quite blustery out there but not as windy as today, these are average speeds, wind gusts will be a bit higher. with the windies and, more in the way of afternoon sunshine, temperatures a degree or to higher. —— the wins easing. all eyes on the next weather system which will move in on sunday night and into monday morning. this will provide more heavy rain and some snow in places,

feeding in colder air, there might be some snow on scotland's central belt as we start on monday morning. that's no will push further north across scotland during the day, another spell of rain will sing south across the rest of the uk, clearing the afternoon. then it brightens up and it is notjust a rainy and snowy in places, it is very windy again in places to soak risk of disruption and winds of 70 mph in parts of scotland. following the rain moving through, some sunshine but chilly, blustery, wintry showers.
