number two, wuhan was quarantined and since we have been here, we have been treated brilliantly. nine cases of the virus have been confirmed in the uk so far. if a global pandemic were to be declared, it's likely things would move to a different stage here, with the nhs creating extra beds for the sickest and most vulnerable. jenny kumar, bbc news. 0ur correspondent katharine da costa sent this update from milton keynes. the quarantine was lifted here by about seven o'clock this morning and they were free to go. manyjust wa nted they were free to go. manyjust wanted to get home. some did stop and told us they had been well looked after. they said the first two days had been the hardest when they were confined to their rooms, but they were treated to some creature comforts, mobile phones, ta blets creature comforts, mobile phones, tablets and fitness equipment. the

would tonight give his career its crowning moment? clad in armour and his trademark mask, however, deontay wilder was a menacing presence. but in a defining performance, it was the british fighter who seized the initiative, fury knocking down his american opponent in the third round and then again in the fifth. vaunted for his punching power, the bewildered and battered wilder had no response. his corner eventually throwing in the towel in the seventh round of this one—sided rematch, the first defeat he had tasted. in the biggest heavyweight fight for a generation, fury had delivered one of british sport's most memorable performances. still unbeaten, the prestigious wbc title his. you know, it feels amazing, it feels amazing, thank you very much. you've become a true british sporting great. how does it feel? i feel good, you know? tonight, i probably got lucky. not bad for an old feather duster. the gypsy king's back, and back to stay. wilder was absent from the post—fight press conference after being taken to hospital

as a precaution, and must now decide whether to trigger a clause in the contract for a third fight. he's got 30 days and we'll see what happens after that. i can't say what he's going to do. i know what i would advise him to do. you'd advise him not to take it? i wouldn't take it because it will be the same outcome. if he doesn't take it, what would that mean for tyson? what would you like him to do if it wasn't deontay? i would like to see him fightjoshua. for me, it's the best performance i've ever seen from a british boxer. this victory completes tyson fury‘s remarkable comeback after his well—documented issues with drink, drugs and depression. and after one of the great performances by a british sports star on american soil, the sense is that he could just dominate the heavyweight division for years to come. dan roan, bbc news, las vegas. as a young boxer tyson fury trained atjimmy egan's boxing academy at wythenshawe in manchester. 0ur correspondent fiona trott is there. not many clubs can say they have trained a two—time heavyweight champion of the world. but this is

where it started for tyson fury in wythenshawe. they took one look at him and knew he was going to be a champion. i trained him from 14 to 20 and talking to world level on the amateur side. within a couple of minutes of him coming in the gym i said to my dad, there is the heavyweight champion of the world. my dad said, he hasjust walked through the bleeding. but ijust knew. as you have developed other kids and see them progress and they get better and better, ijust knew we had a champion of the world. the children here this afternoon say tyson fury is an inspiration for them. for the parents, they were up watching the match and they are shattered. but they say there are time for celebrations here. fiona

trott. let's speak to british heavyweight boxer, and olympic fury as an amateur. did you set your alarm to watch?” set my alarm to watch. it was great. typical tyson fury, doesn't do things by halves, but the performance was fantastic. in the past, some of his problems have come by not doing things by halves, but he seems to have mastered himself now. it is a massive turnaround from three years ago. that is why people are so three years ago. that is why people are so impressed, from where he has come from. his performances are getting better and better. tyson fury seem to be able to do anything he wants in a boxing ring, he is capable of doing anything. i still think there is more to come from him. that is the exciting thing

about it. last night was his best performance of his career at 31. the momentum he is building since the comeback. to come back from even the first fight from deontay wilder, which could have taken a lot out of many fighters and he has come back and steam—rolled him. it was like a man againsta and steam—rolled him. it was like a man against a boy at times and they are two out of the three best heavyweights in the world. and he has done it to that degree. he is still comparatively young for the status he has reached in the ring. the question is how you sustain that. he fought against him, it is a few years ago now and there was a bit of a rivalry in your day, but you think he has changed as a man, how do you think he has changed as a boxer? i remember him when he was younger, obviously. iwas boxer? i remember him when he was younger, obviously. i was about five yea rs younger, obviously. i was about five years older than tyson fury and he turned up at training saying he was

going to do this, that and everything. he said he was going to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. i couldn't see it, but that could have been my own ego not wanting to believe it. but when the time came he had surpassed myself and we were not likely going to fight, you stand back and admire the good points. he has become a much more rounded fighter. he can do pretty much anything, fight on the back foot, he can fight anything, fight on the back foot, he canfight up anything, fight on the back foot, he can fight up close, fight long. the most important thing for me is his determination and also how co mforta ble determination and also how comfortable he is in a boxing ring. he is completely at home in a boxing ring, there is no nervous energy being burned. that is why after three rounds, you could see deontay wilder it was almost like a wet lettuce wilder it was almost like a wet lettu ce a nd wilder it was almost like a wet lettuce and tyson fury was brand—new, really.

lettuce and tyson fury was brand-new, really. you are absolutely right, great description, very different from the way in and the cocky confidence both fighters have to display for the cameras, the public and their fans. but you did see the difference, not too long into the match? fury's extra weight did take its toll and by putting deontay wilder on the back foot com pletely deontay wilder on the back foot completely took him out of his rhythm. although he did say he was going to do that before the fight, a lot of bluffing goes on, it is like a game of poker. you say he is going to put him on the back foot, and he was going to put klitschko on the back foot. but he went on the back foot himself. but he put wilder on the back foot and that exhausted him. he is not used to that, he is used to being the hunter and not the hunted and that played into furey‘s hands. you could be a diminishing band of boxers in years to come who

can say i am the last boxer to beat tyson fury. the last uk boxer to beat tyson fury. pleasure to speak to you. david price, the man who beat tyson fury. the headlines on bbc news... more than 100 people — evacuated from china because of coronavirus — are released from isolation in milton keynes. in italy — officials impose strict quarantine restrictions and cut short the venice carnival — to try control the worst outbreak of the coronavirus in europe. tyson fury defeats deontay wilder in las vegas to win the wbc world heavyweight boxing title. a member of the government has defended boris johnson's decision not to visit communities affected

by flooding in the wake of storm dennis. the prime minister has faced criticism, including from some conservative mps. however the environment secretary george eustace said the government is not "a one—man show" and he added that a national response centre is dealing with the situation. we have to recognise that the flood infrastructure we've invested in and put in place in the last decade is working and is actually delivering benefits. and in this last week we would have had 25,000 homes flooded were it not for that. i can remember when i worked for david cameron back in 2007. you will remember, andrew, the controversy over the floods in his constituency in that year. that was a weather event far less severe than we have seen these last two weeks, but 17,000 homes were flooded. so it's important to recognise that the work we've done is delivering results, but absolutely, the challenge and the risk we face are greater so we have to do even more besides. that's why we are putting our money where our mouth

is and spending an extra 4 billion in the next five years. at least nine people including three children have died in eastern turkey after an earthquake, with an epicentre on the border with iran. turkish television showed rescue workers in van province searching for people buried under collapsed buildings after the 5.7 magnitude quake hit. reports say more than 40 villages on either side of the border have been affected. the recent australian wildfires destroyed millions of acres of land and left thousands of people homeless. today, the 25 people who lost their lives in new south wales have been remembered, as our sydney correspondent phil mercer reports. it was australia's black summer. since july, almost 16 million hectares of land was scorched, lives and livelihoods were lost, along with thousands of homes. at a memorial service in sydney, there was a sombre show

children kissing the coffins of their fathers, proudly wearing their helmets. mothers and fathers who should never have had to bury their children. friends, who came to our aid, who travelled across the water to support us, but to return home under their nation's flags. heavy rain has brought the crisis to an end. the recovery effort will be immense, but already there are nervous glances towards the next fire season. the memorial in sydney comes as the federal government begins a royal commission into the bushfire disaster. the prime minister said the investigation would help australians survive and adapt to hotter, drier and longer summers. critics though say the commission won't be considering the full impact of climate change on the emergency. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney.
