who can't punch, eh? india prepares to welcome president trump for his first official visit to the country. and in the six nations, tries from ford and daly help england to beat ireland by 2a points to 12 at twickenham. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. in the last hour, four further cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the uk, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 13. the latest cases are among the 32 british and irish tourists flown back from japan yesterday after being on board the virus—struck cruise ship the diamond princess. those four people will now be transferred to specialist nhs infection centres.

the remaining people who have not tested positive will continue to spend 14 days in isolation at arrowe park hospital on the wirral. our correspondent katharine da costa is with me now. tell us about the new cases. the information we are getting from the government is from england's chief medical officer who says the virus was passed on on—board the diamond princess cruise ship. that was held for more than two weeks off the coast of japan. the group had previously tested negative for the virus. the department of health says a full infectious disease risk assessment had been carried out before yesterday's repatriation flight before yesterday's repatriation flight and that no one had displayed any symptoms. they were then flown to wiltshire and taken up to arrowe park in merseyside. four passengers have soaps complete been confirmed as positive —— subsequently been

confirmed as positive, saying they caught the virus injapan and they've been transferred to specialist nhs infection centres. 50 they've specialist nhs infection centres. so they've only just specialist nhs infection centres. so they've onlyjust received results in the uk? clearly there's been a false negative, something has gone on. they thought they were negative, not showing any symptoms. four british nationals tested positive for the virus in japan. british nationals tested positive for the virus injapan. they are now being treated injapanese hospitals. we saw the couple. yes, david and sally able, they are being treated injapan. sally able, they are being treated in japan. if they had been identified they wouldn't have been allowed to leave japan. exactly, they came to the uk and subsequent test results have said they've got it. that brings the total confirmed cases in the uk to 13. previously we heard that eight patients had been discharged. they were back to normal and were allowed to get on with their lives. a ninth patient we are

yet to find out what's the latest with their case. but in total since the outbreak there is now a title in the outbreak there is now a title in the uk of 13 confirmed cases. just in terms of what happens now, you we re in terms of what happens now, you were in milton keynes early today seeing people who had left having completed the two week isolation there. there is presumably increasing concern about at what point you can be confident that people will have shown signs of infection if they had it. clearly people have travelled from china, thought they were fine but were carrying the virus and able to infect people. it's worrying about the test results, thinking it was negative and turning out to be positive. clearly there will be some concern. 118 people had been in quarantine in milton keynes, they've been tested three times each and each time the test results came back negative, so there's no risk to the public from them. they've been able

to leave, they've gone home, they can carry on with life as normal. many of them were very grateful and thankfulfor many of them were very grateful and thankful for the doctors and nurses who cared for them. equally the nhs has praised the patients and... willingness to go along with it. the compliance they showed, setting a good example of what should happen. because, you know, the government has said that we could see more cases of people having to stay—at—home, to reduce the risk of the virus spreading. and these people that were held in milton keynes are a good example of going and listening to the advice from the health experts and following their guidelines and staying calm and listening. that's what the achievement nickel officer is going to wa nt achievement nickel officer is going to want from now on, that people do

that —— the chief medical officer. this is potentially a serious virus and may force the authorities to ta ke and may force the authorities to take some extreme measures. we already know there's a test pilot going on of people being tested in their own homes, in the uk. we know that yesterday, gps and nurses, it was said, could go into people's homes to reduce the risk of taking it into gp surgeries and a&e departments. perhaps as time goes on in the coming weeks we may see more of that. if successful, that may spread across the country. people may have to stay—at—home, stay away from busy areas in order to reduce the virus. interesting to see what happens in the coming days and weeks. we are going to talk more about italy now. thank you. a third death has been confirmed in

italy. italian officials have cut short the venice carnival as they try to control what's now the worst outbreak of the coronavirus in europe. three people have died as a result of the virus in italy. the number of confirmed cases has risen to more than 100. i spoke to the journalist sabina castelfranco a little earlier, and she explained how people in venice were reacting to the news. she travelled from rome to venice to attend the carnival. people are a little bit concerned about what's going on. two people here in venice have been hospitalised and it appears there are other confirmed cases in the city. so, tourists are concerned and there's a lot of people in this city at the moment, obviously, for these events, which normally last for a number of weeks. you know, people just don't know what they need to be doing at this moment. a lot of people wearing period costumes, carnival costumes

and, obviously, surgical masks. yes, it's not quite the masks you'd normally see on the streets of venice at this time of year. absolutely not. some of the measures the italian government are now taking are quite dramatic, these effective quara ntines of whole towns. i suppose some italians must be wondering whether it's too little, too late. well, yeah, that is a question but a lot of measures, very strict measures but italy was one of the first countries to stop flights to and from china. and it's very unclearjust how this kind of situation has developed and yes, you're right, a number of strict measures have been taken including no cinemas, schools, universities. people should not go to work in those towns that are effectively in a situation of lockdown. the army is there.

people have been told to stay indoors and not leave the town and people should not arrive at those towns, either. a lot of very serious measures. i think more are to come. there has been an emergency decree that has been passed that allows the government basically to adopt special measures and this is what they're doing. let's see what happens because if it does spread to other regions, it could be very serious indeed for this country. talking from venice earlier. a large pa rt talking from venice earlier. a large part of northern italy has been put effectively in lockdown, affected by these measures. we'll hear more about that this evening. meanwhile, the south

korean president has said that the next few days will be crucial in the country's battle against the virus. six people have died there and more than 600 have been infected. the bbc‘s laura bicker is monitoring the situation from daegu. dozens of ambulances are lined up outside the main hospitals in daegu. in each one is a patient with coronavirus waiting to be admitted. but kept inside a plastic panel and transferred by staff, head to toe in white, protective clothing. medics and staff rush into the crisis centre, prioritising patients who need the most care. the doctor in charge told me he hoped they could get the outbreak under control in the next week but he knows a lot depends on how far it has spread. an entire ward of nearly 106 and vulnerable patients at a nearby psychiatric hospital have been infected with the virus. four of them have died. over half of south korea's cases are linked to a secretive religious

sect. in an unprecedented youtube address, the church apologised to the nation and said it had told its 9000 members in daegu to cooperate. the country is now on its highest level of alert and president moon admits the next few days of work are key if they're to prevent this academic from spreading across the country. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. the match is not long finished in twickenham. a lot of reaction from vegas and the tyson fury victory in a moment but there's been a really important win for england. ireland beaten for the first time in this yea r‘s beaten for the first time in this year's six nations victory, 24—12 at twickenham. the irish were caught out twice by some clever kicking from ben youngs on his recall to the team. george ford touched down. johnny sexton should have done

better to clear the danger. ford then provided the kick as ireland did it again —— dithered again, and elliot daly scored. 17—0 at half—time. robbie henshaw gave ireland some hope. he crashed over. when luke cowan—dickie scored england's third that put the game out of sight. they conceded a late irish tried but the win keeps them in contention although they'll need france to slip up. they are the only tea m france to slip up. they are the only team who can compete for the grand slam now. three games in the premier league today, arsenal are beating everton 2—1 at the emirates. approaching half—time there. bruno fernandes scored his first goal for manchester united as they beat watford 3—0. january signing odion ighalo also made his debut for united off the bench. they are up to fifth.

elsewhere wolves beat norwich by the same scoreline. diogojota scored twice and rauljimenez got the other. they've moved up the table to keep in contention for european places. tyson fury declared that "the king has returned to the top!" 15 months after their first fight which was a draw he's taken the wbc world heavyweight title from deontay wilder. the american has the option of another rematch, but the boxing world will now be clamouring for a unification fight with anthonyjoshua. our sports editor dan roan was at the fight in las vegas. never one for understatement, tyson fury was carried to the ring on a throne. 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. british fans who had travelled here to see the most anticipated rematch in 20 years left knowing that they'd seen a in 20 years left knowing that they'd seen a piece of boxing history. we thought he would boxing for 12 rounds but the stoppage was unbelievable. he made everyone in great britain very proud. fury's remarkable comeback from his documented issues with drink and drugs and depression is now complete. and after one of the great performances by a british sports star on american soil, the sense is that he could dominate the heavyweight division for years to come. england have lost their opening game at the women's t20 world cup in australia. they had set south africa a meagre 124 for victory in perth and they managed that with two balls remaining to win by six wickets in perth. england no whead to canberra for matches against

thailand and pakistan. if you're not completely on it, any tea m if you're not completely on it, any team can beat you. we've never played thailand before. we'll have to do our analysis into their players. it looks like they put on a good show the other day so we'll have to play well to beat them. looking forward to going to canberra. that match is on wednesday. that's all the sport for now. much more on the bbc sport website, celtic beat kilmarnock 3—1 as they look to move 12 points clear in the scottish prmiership. the headlines on bbc news. four of the cruise ship passengers taken to arrowe park in merseyside yesterday have tested positive for coronavirus, and are transferred to specialist infection centres. the virus has spread to 21 countries — six people have now died

in south korea and a third death has just been confirmed in italy. in las vegas, tyson fury produces the best performance of his boxing career against deontay wilder, to become the new wbc heavyweight world champion. the house of lords has defended itself as "busy and effective" after it emerged the amount peers were paid in expenses and allowances went up by almost a third in the past year to £23 million. a report in the sunday times claims one peer claimed £44,000 but made no speeches. i've been speaking to our political correspondent tom barton. essentially what the sunday times have done, they've looked at the data which is published in the public domain for how much each individual lord claims. so, there are... they don't have a salary, but they're entitled to claim for attendance.

exactly, there are about 800 members of the house of lords altogether. and every day that they turn up to the house, they're allowed to claim an allowance of £313. now, that figure is actually going to go up later this year, to £323. that was approved by the lords just very recently. and essentially, the sunday times have looked at how these figures tally up and have found that the amount that lords are claiming has increased by 29% in the year to march last year compared to the previous year. but perhaps more interestingly they've looked at the number of people who are claiming that allowance for turning up but not actually speaking in the chamber of the house of lords. they found that more than 100 peers who had,

during that year, hadn't spoken, about 65 of them had claimed despite not making any speeches. altogether, those 65 peers have claimed more than £1 million of expenses despite not making any speeches during that 12—month period. it's interesting, very interesting numbers. yeah, the numbers are interesting but there are a number of complications. not least the fact that it's possible to be a member of the house of lords and do nothing if you want to, and stay—at—home, in which case you can't claim the money. it's possible to be a member of the house of lords and not speak in the chamber but make other contributions, committee work and the rest of it. there's a question about what the house of lords is for, which is a fundamental question that governments have never really seems to have a clear answer for. you can see it's useful for them as a place to help get their legislation through, and may be as the current government is trying to do,

boost the number of conservative peers because it is worried that it keeps getting defeated, certainly during brexit by the combination of the labour, tories and the independents. but then it's the question of what they house of lords should look like and what you'd pay them for doing. yeah, absolutely. there is a much broader question about, you know, like you say, the purpose of the house of lords. it sees itself as a revising chamber. it's not a place which thinks of itself as being radical, as somewhere which can overturn legislation or the government of the day. there's long—standing conventions which say that if something has been in the government manifesto, then the house of lords won't oppose it. but what they do do and are very proud of doing is looking at the detail of legislation, going line by line through legislation. also when it arrives in the commons for that process and hasn't been done in the time the government has given. exactly, giving it more time but also bringing, these people aren't elected but they would point out that many of them have lots of experience in lots of different areas of life. and bringing in that expertise to the legislation is something they see as very valuable. lots and lots of people question

that and in particular the lack of any democratic mandate for the lords. the chamber itself, the house of lords authorities have pushed back quite hard at the story by the sunday times, pointing out that on the overall increase to the budget, they say that for the year that the sunday times was looking at, the lords sat for 25% more days than it had done for the previous year, which, when there's been a 29% increase in the amount spent, seems very relevant. they make the point that this is a chamber which, you know, makes lots of changes to legislation, works very hard and they would say is very good value for money. turkey's president recep tayyip erdogan has announced he'll meet the french, german and russian leaders early next month, as the situation in north—western syria continues to deteriorate. nearly1 million people have fled the fighting, as the government of president bashar al—assad attempts to recapture the opposition—held province of idlib.

the save the children charity says it's the largest wave of people displaced by the conflict since it began almost nine years ago, and it's growing rapidly by the day. earlier i spoke to amjad yamin, who's the advocacy, media and communications director for save the children's syria response office, and he explained how serious the situation is. fortnight years, families have been displaced from one day to another. they have tried to find safety for themselves and their families. what we're seeing now is the biggest wave of displacement we've seen nine yea rs of displacement we've seen nine years now. we may have spoken to you previously about this, different areas where we've seen previously about this, different areas where we've seen active conflict and large waves of displacement but we haven't seen until today anything approaching this number. we are approaching the numbers, the trend is increasing. for two weeks we saw 30,000 people being displaced. now 50,000 people a

day being displaced. for context, 500 people are displaced a day, if we say that it's a large number. 50,000 a day is a catastrophe that's ongoing right now.|j 50,000 a day is a catastrophe that's ongoing right now. i was talking earlier in the week to the un undersecretary who is responsible for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief. he'd been briefing the un security council that day, setting out these points that you're making. the security council couldn't reach agreement even to issue a statement asking for a ceasefire and an opportunity for him and that area and help to go in. if the countries of the un can't agree this, presumably you have little confidence of it happening on the ground, even if turkey and syria somehow agrees to a ground, even if turkey and syria somehow agrees to a pause ground, even if turkey and syria somehow agrees to a pause in fighting. there is a way for the un security council to help. they need to find a way to bring in the

ceasefire. people cannot be forgotten. they have nobody left. we know it's difficult but we cannot leave this to become as politicised as it has become. it's a humanitarian situation. we must bring in aid from neighbouring countries. it has become overly politicised and we cannot allow this. 3 million people are dependent on him and at aryan aid. simply saying it is difficult to sort out... —— dependent on humanitarian aid. about ten days ago i spoke to someone aid. about ten days ago i spoke to someone who believes that while the arguments are going on in new york and istanbul and when we are going to have this meeting in a week involving mr erdogan and other leaders i mentioned just now, the

situation is getting worse. he said that war crimes are being committed and he described it as a second gaza developing there. you said that and he has said and countries have said it. why is it possible to garner this view to provide basic protection? un agreed a duty to intervene on humanitarian grounds several years ago. what we're seeing is an humanitarian crisis. the humanitarian organisations globally... there are larger politics and that seems to impact decisions being made on the ground in syria. we are talking about 3 million people. more than half of them are children. 1.5 million children and their fate is dependent on this politicised organisation that does not consider their needs on the ground. we need the security

council to prioritise the man at arya n council to prioritise the man at aryan situation and think about the conditions of the children —— prioritise the humanitarian situation. the warning from save the children of the fight facing civilians displaced in idlib province in syria. —— the fate. the left—wing senator bernie sanders has won a resounding victory in the latest contest to choose a democrat candidate for november's us presidential election. he was backed by more than 40% of voters in nevada's caucuses. the former vice—president joe biden finished second. our correspondent sophie long has sent this report. nevada's caucases were the first chance for democratic presidential hopefuls to show their appeal to a diverse group of voters, in a state with a population representative of the country as a whole. the 78—year—old senator from vermont had already left nevada for campaign events in texas when he claimed victory.

i think all of you know we won the popular vote in iowa! cheering and applause we won the new hampshire primary! cheering and applause and according to three networks and the ap, we have now won the nevada caucus. cheering and applause his triumph cements his status as the democrats' national frontrunner, but it will deepen concern among moderates in a party who feel the self—described democratic socialist is too liberal to defeat donald trump. can we raise a couple of million bucks? let's go get it! former vice presidentjoe biden claimed what his team described as a strong second place, and success substantial enough to trigger a comeback, after a poor start to this primary season. so, it was a great night for bernie sanders, but there is no stopping to savour the taste of victory. most candidates have already left nevada to campaign

in super tuesday states, which will vote injust over a week's time. the next debate is in three days. the gloves came off here in las vegas. the fight will continue in south carolina. sophie long, bbc news, las vegas. in the last couple of hours, president donald trump congratulated bernie sanders on his win in nevada. i think it was a great win for bernie sanders. we'll see how it turns out. a lot of winning to do. i hope they treat him fairly. frankly i don't care who i run against. i hope they treat him fairly. i hope it isn't going to be a repeat. a lot of bad things going on. let see what happens but i congratulate bernie sanders. if it's going to be him, he has a substantial lead, we'll see what happens. that congratulations came just

before president trump left washington washington to travel to india, where he is due to attend a rally alongside the indian prime minister in narendra modi's home city. our south asia correspondent rajini vaidya nathan looks ahead to what we can expect. as india gets ready for the arrival of president trump, no expense is being spared. his first stop, the city of ahmedabad, in prime minister modi's home state, gujarat. preparations include building a wall along his planned route to conceal some of the slums in the area. the residents aren't pleased. translation: when you are spending so much money for the wall, then come and have a look inside the shanties of us poor people. you can spend 800,000 to a million rupees for the wall, then also go inside the shanty of a poor person to see how they are living, what conditions they are living in. president trump is expected to get a grand welcome when he and prime

minister modi address a rally in the city to inaugurate the world's largest cricket stadium, motera. it is modelled on the howdy modi event last year in houston, texas, when the leaders stood side by side at a rally america, with thousands in attendance. both face pressure at home. president trump post—impeachment, prime minister modi in the wake of kashmir and his party's controversial citizenship bill. president trump will meet prime minister modi here in delhi for talks. indian officials have hinted that there could be an announcement on defence but the trade deal president trump wants so badly looks unlikely. and in a us election year, the president is continuing to talk tough about his hosts. we are doing a very big trade deal with india. we will have it. i don't know if it'll be done before the election but we will have a very big deal with india. we are not treated very well by india but i happen to like prime minister modi a lot. indian officials say they don't want to rush into a trade deal. president trump's trip to india's looks set to be heavy on ceremony but lighter on concrete proposals.

rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, delhi. in a moment, we'lljoin viewers on bbc one for the teatime bulletin with clive myrie, but first, throughout the day we've been reflecting on the stunning comeback by boxer tyson fury, to regain the wbc heavyweight title. let's listen to some of the reaction from people involved in the sport, both here in the uk and in las vagas. it's vagas. a massive turnaround from two or it's a massive turnaround from two or three years ago and that is why people are so impressed from where he has come from to perform. he is just getting better and better. that is the thing, i speaking to people earlier, tyson fury seemed to be able to do anything he wants in a boxing ring. he is capable of doing anything. there's more to come and

thatis anything. there's more to come and that is the exciting thing about it because last night was his best performance of his career at 31, the momentum he has built since the comeback. to come back from facing deontay wilder, he came back absolutely steam—rolling. to add to the three best heavyweight in the world and he has done it to that degree. i remember when he was younger, obviously i was five years old and tyson fury turned up saying he would do, this, that and even when he first turned professional and was the best undisputed heavyweight title and that might be my own ego not wanting to believe it but it has become apparent that he surpassed himself. he had to admire

what he is capable of and he has just become a much more rounded fighter. he can do pretty much anything, he can maul that you can fight close, long. i don't think anyone was expecting tyson, other than his team, to go about the job in such the fashion that he did was it requires a lot of mind game that he was telling everyone he was going to get wilder out of their and i think tyson, when you have someone with a great boxing iq of tyson, movement, such a big guy, against one of the biggest punches the heavyweight division has ever seen, for him to go out there and take the fight is very impressive. it was a shock to everyone but what a performance. his self belief, i knew tyson since he was 17, his self belief has always been something else and from his boxing right down

to his singing which we heard after the fight, he is a very confident fighter, human being, and i think that plays a huge part when he steps into the ring. i think maybe the public underrated tyson fury's power. i know that people say he is not a power puncher he is a boxer but he showed tonight that when he wants to box and go towards the point that he has so much power. he has £273, he is more lean, muscular. -- 273 has £273, he is more lean, muscular. —— 273 pounds. he supremely believes in himself. nothing can deter him and when he said it was written in the stars, i think it really does believe that. where he goes from here, he can go wherever he wants. to exercise the rematch clause, well we want to see the rematch, i'm not so we want to see the rematch, i'm not so sure? i do think it will probably

happen. especially over in the uk, the possibility of a tyson fury anthonyjoshua fight. the possibility of a tyson fury anthony joshua fight. he has now been responsible of two of the great performances of british boxers overseas, in 2015 he went to dusseldorf to be set emphatically and now he has beaten dante wilder comprehensively as well. he beat —— he beat wladimir klitschko. it was not just a fight he beat wladimir klitschko. it was notjust a fight but an event. from the moment he was wheeled to the ring sitting on a throne, dressed as a king, the crowd loved it as he was mouthing the words of the song crazy. he then gets into the ring and produces that kind of a fight and produces that kind of a fight and he gives us a rendition of

american pie at. the performance in between is how he will be measured in terms of boxing history. against a man who, as i say, had ten successful defences behind him. a five year long reign, he made him look distinctly second—rate and tyson fury were saying afterward he has his own worst critic and there might be more improvement to come andi might be more improvement to come and i don't doubt that. notjust rain and some snow for some of us to start monday morning, the gap between weather systems is all too brief. yes, we have been seeing a bit of sunday sunshine in some places today but that next weather system is on the way in. it is this area of low pressure and it will make for more wet weather wherever you are in the uk because it runs into cold air, there will be some snow around. northern england, northern ireland and scotland in particular. here is a

story of the weather. some slashes noted low levels come into that colder air could turn i see elsewhere. more significant snow falling and certainly in scotland as it moves further north. this makes for a difficult morning commute and it will be messy out there. either way, you see the wet weather and it could start to drift in strong winds so could start to drift in strong winds so the higher roots will be worse affected and certainly relatively modest hills. rewind the clock to see what else happens to start the day, a band of rain pushing through the rest of england and wales snow to quite low levels in places in the colder air. and wales he colder air. more significant snow across the higher ground and certainly scotland as it moves further north. even where you see

the weather clearing away, snow falling into the higher ground, it may drift the strong wind. the higher areas are going to be worst affected and certainly in scotland as the snow feeds ever further north. rewind the clock, see what else happens, to start the day, a band of rain pushing through england and wales. clearing to brighter skies. a few showers following on behind. gusty wind. it will be a blustery day. a range of temperatures from north to south. it will be colder where you have some of the snow falling. even into the evening rush—hour in scotland. monday night, eventually, snow clearing from scotland. it will be icy in places to start tuesday but tuesday and wednesday, cold air coming from the north—west. some sunshine, yes, but also showers, rain, sleet, snow, some pale and rumbles off thunder. but there will also be some dryer moments. looking at the extended forecast into the week, colder showery spells in midweek and towards the end of the week, low pressure is coming back bringing the prospect of longer spells of wet weather yet again. some rain at times, especially early and late in the week and then we'll see some showers and turning colder, often blustery. notjust rain. as we've established, there will be some snow for some of us, too.

four more people have tested positive for the coronavirus in the uk, a day after they returned from a cruise ship, injapan. they're among 32 former passengers, now in quarantine on the wirral. italy has restricted the movement of tens of thousands of people, in towns near milan and venice, to battle the spread of the virus. so, with more infections around the world, are we heading for a global pandemic? also on the programme. announcer: the gypsy king, tyson fury! a remarkable sporting comeback. tyson fury is once again a world heavyweight champion. with house prices in england hitting record highs, the struggle to make homes affordable for first—time buyers. england peeling away down the right

the uk, fourof just a day after arriving back in the uk, four of those flown home yesterday have now tested positive for coronavirus. they were among the 30 british and two irish evacuees who had just been transferred to arrowe park hospital on the wirral to begin two weeks of quarantine. all had been passengers aboard the diamond princess cruise ship in japan where health officials say they had picked up the virus. but there will be concerns that having all travelled back from japan together, they could eventually be more cases among those being held in quarantine. the aeroplane takes you to united states and then you get your passport. 18 of the american passengers evacuated from the diamond princess and flown back to the us have also since tested positive and there have been similar australian cases. meanwhile, more than 100 british people evacuated from wuhan in china ended two weeks of quarantine at a conference centre in milton keynes. they were allowed

to go home having been given the all clear. how long have you been inside? two weeks. how was it? really good. the staff and everything? everything is excellent. asign everything? everything is excellent. a sign that they have done a brilliantjob, a sign that they have done a brilliant job, and number two, a sign that they have done a brilliantjob, and number two, we'll hand was quarantined and since we have been here we have been treated brilliantly. the latest confirmed cases in britain will cause alarm. but so far, almost all of those who have contracted the virus have since made a full recovery. jon donnison, bbc news. italy is facing europe's biggest outbreak of the virus, with more than 100 cases. in parts of the north of the country, schools, universities and cinemas have been closed, with the venice carnival being closed two days early. the italian government has announced strict controls on movement in 11 towns near venice and milan, with no—one allowed in or out. from italy, mark lowen has more.

lockdown in northern italy. streets deserted, shops shut in the european country with the worst coronavirus outbreak. with towns in the affected area closed off, more than 50,000 people are under quarantine, an unprecedented step as italy scrambles to curb the outbreak. at supermarkets they waited to stock up, taking every precaution, unsure of how long the special measures will last. police were brought in to control the situation and limit numbers queueing. the region worst affected is lombardy milan. is lombardy around milan. its mayor said schools are closing as well as universities, libraries and museums. "it's just a precaution," he added. "we don't want to create panic." an armani fashion show in milan is going ahead without any buyers or press. the two regions worst hit make up 30% of the italian economy.

cheering nearby venice has been lit up by its famous carnival this week. but with cases growing in the area, it will now be cut short. the priority for the government is to identify how the outbreak has jumped so suddenly and to stop the spread to elsewhere in italy and europe. with some suggesting borders should now be closed. and while the number of cases continues to rise, the message of reassurance becomes harder to sell. mark lowen, bbc news, roma. mark lowen, bbc news, rome. our medical correspondent fergus walsh is here. first of all, those new cases in the uk, how worried should we all be about that? we shouldn't be worried because one in five people nearly on—board the diamond princess have now tested positive and other countries who repatriated their citizens who were languishing on board, the united states, 18 subsequently tested positive and i

think seven australians tested positive as well. and i wouldn't be surprised in the next week or so if we saw some more cases from these passengers who are now in arrowe park, unlike the previous evacuees that we saw, none of whom tested positive. and really it's not a problem here because the nhs is well able to cope with them when we know where these cases are. ok, so, what about south korea, italy, of course? the biggest outbreak in europe. are we looking at a global pandemic here? this is much more concerning. in italy, they are struggling to find patient zero of the first person who brought this virus in, and that makes it a real problem because you knock down towns and villages but not really knowing where the virus is actually spreading. there has been an announcement tonight of a third death in italy outside one of those quarantine areas. so italy is a concern. iran is a real concern as

well. a number of deaths there. authorities there say it has spread to several cities and we had a case in lebanon linked to travel from iran, also as you said, south korea. i think it is likely, the signs are pointing that we are slipping towards a pandemic. that simply means a global outbreak where it is spreading out of control in the community. we will leave it there, fergus walsh, many thanks. the british boxer, tyson fury has completed a remarkable career turnaround, winning the wbc world heavyweight title, by overwhelming the american champion, deontay wilder. fury twice floored his opponent, before wilder's corner threw in the towel in the seventh round. the victory completes fury's comeback, after suffering problems with drink, drugs and depression. our sports editor, dan roan, watched the fight, in las vegas. never one for understatement, tyson fury was carried to the ring on a throne. 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, a 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'd 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. it feels amazing, feels amazing. thank you very much. tyson, 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. 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. would you advise him not to take it? i wouldn't take it because it's going to be the same outcome. if he doesn't take it, what would that mean for tyson and what would you like him to do if it wasn't deontay? i'd like to see him fightjoshua. for me, it's the best performance i've ever seen from a british boxer. british fans who travelled here to see the most eagerly anticipated heavyweight rematch for more than 20 years left knowing they'd witnessed a piece of boxing history. we all thought he was going to box him out for 12 rounds but the fact he got the stoppage was unbelievable. he's made everybody in great britain very proud tonight. fury's remarkable comeback from his well documented issues with drink, drugs and depression is now complete. and after one of the great performances by a british sports star on american soil, the sense is that he could dominate the heavyweight division for years to come. tyson fury's story is a compelling

one but it is also complicated and controversial as well. in the past he has had to apologise for causing offence with some of the things that he has said will stop he has served a drugs ban having failed a test for a drugs ban having failed a test for a steroid but also gained great credit for beating his demons and being a campaigner for credit for beating his demons and being a campaignerfor mental health. here in las vegas he let his boxing do the talking and in doing so boxing do the talking and in doing so his status was elevated to that which very few british sports stars enjoy. his place in boxing folklore now guaranteed. dan roan, thank you, dan rowe and live in las vegas. british boxing fans here have been celebrating tyson fury's victory. as a young fighter he trained atjimmy egan's boxing academy at wythenshawe in manchester. our correspondent fiona trott, has spent the day there. this is where it all began, miles away from vegas, in the corner of a housing estate in greater manchester.

they've been talking about the fight all weekend. tyson fury's second heavyweight title, an inspiration. i have to train harder to be like him. i think it was amazing. he's the best boxer in the world. i want to be like him. the man who trained tyson fury knew that he'd be a champion the first day they met. i taught him from 14 to 20, taking him to world level on the amateur side. so i'm really, really proud. on the first day he come in the gym, within a couple of minutes i said to my dad, jimmy, he's going to be heavyweight champion of the world. knowing he was in the same gym that i'm in now, gives me a lot of confidence knowing i can be like him when i grow up, if i try my best. it feels really good to know that he was once like me and he's

gone through exactly the same path i have. not many clubs can say they've trained a two—time world champion. after the success of tyson fury, they're now looking for the next. fiona trott, bbc news, wythenshawe. the left—wing us senator, bernie sanders, is celebrating a convincing victory in the latest contest, to become the democratic party nominee, for november's presidential election. he was backed by more than 40% of voters in the nevada caucus. the former vice—president, joe biden, finished second. the government has defended the prime minister's decision, not to visit communities affected by flooding, following storm dennis. borisjohnson has faced criticism, including from some conservative mps. however the environment secretary, george eustace, says the government isn't a one—man show, and that a national response centre is dealing with the crisis. with house prices in england hitting a record high — the average home now costs more than £252,000 — getting on the property ladder is a distant dream for many.

one possible solution is being looked at in the west midlands, with plans to redefine what an affordable home is, based on incomes, rather than prices. it would mean developers having to build smaller, cheaper properties. our home editor, mark easton has more details. what does affordable mean? here in wolverhampton market, traders woo customers with bargain vegetables. apples and pears, rabbits as big as hares! with homes, affordable is officially defined as 20% below average local prices or rents. but housing's so expensive, that still translates as unaffordable for millions. the government's focus is on affordable home—ownership with discount schemes for first—time buyers and key workers. but even with treasury help and even in less pricey areas like here in wolverhampton, most workers can never even dream of getting on the housing ladder. take zoe who will qualify as a nurse later this year.

with a salary of around £22,000 buying a house is simply out of the question. at the moment, zoe and baby amaya live at her mum's place and she's desperate for a home of their own. but even renting an average two—bed would give her no chance to save. there's just nothing out there really in the affordability range for me and my little girl right now. so you're stuck with your mum? yeah, for now. yeah. as prices have moved forward, more people have moved into the area. the west midlands mayor, conservative andy street, thinks the government definition of an affordable home doesn't help people like zoe. so, welcome to the show home here in wolverhampton. so he's convinced local councils to support a new version, based not on prices but incomes. we're proud that we're the first region of the country that has actually got on and changed that definition so it is related to incomes of key workers, and i hope it's exactly what the role of a conservative mayor is.

this will be a great contribution to the national debate to get people to think, well, maybe they are onto something there. affordable in the west midlands will mean homes with rents or mortgages costing less than 35% of typical incomes among lower—paid key workers. private house—builders will have to offer smaller and cheaper houses. will there be some developers who will say, "we can't make the numbers add up"? i suspect that there probably will be. not every developer has a business model like our own. we are a partnership housing company. so i suspect, yes, there will be companies who see this as not being able to make the returns that their business might demand. so, can the private sector be relied upon to deliver the genuinely affordable homes needed? labour's mayoral candidate in the west midlands argues for state intervention, not just redefining affordable. it's a lovely idea, but do you know what, we just need to build more houses. so the number of houses for social rent, council houses as we used to call them, we're building 17% fewer in our region than we were last year.

at that pace, it's going to take us until 2052 to clear the council waiting list. when it comes to housing, affordability is more than a definition or a marketing pitch. if public sector workers are priced out of a decent home, that's about our values as a nation. mark easton, bbc news, wolverhampton. and there's a new bbc briefing guide to housing, which you can download by going to bbc.co.uk/news. and click on housing. england have beaten ireland in a bruising encounter, in the six nations, at twickenham. the home side dominated to win 24—12. joe wilson was watching. the parallel farrells. ireland's coach, england's captain, andy and owen, father and son, arch opponents here. third round of the six nations, england finally had a home game. so, for them, could twickenham make the difference? sometimes the ball decides. unpredictable by design. there and gone.

and england have scored. johnny sexton'sjob was to gather up the danger. george ford followed the ball. in the end, it found him. the game was fierce. the ball sometimes irrelevant. the referee had a look at this. one shirt, no cards. england had their tactic now. sweep forward and trust in fate, in the bounce. elliot daly won this race and at half england led, 17-0. next for the referee, ireland's stander trying to break free using the palm of his hand. england's farrell was penalised for illegally holding on. now some short range tries. henshaw kept ireland in the game. what the ball, there. but england's energy was unrelenting. luke cowan—dickie's underneath all that. he's the one looking happy. quickly followed by the coach. porter's reach for ireland was the final moment but by then the match had already gone.

one farrell had won but he knows there are challenges to come. joe wilson, bbc news, twickenham. that's it. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, and i'll be back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. bye for now. through this evening and night we bring in our next area of cloud, rain pushing into colder air, northern ireland, northern england, the central belt there will be some snow falling to low levels, it will make its accumulations in some places, several centimetres onto the higher routes in the hills and all of that going through monday feeds further north across scotland and even where it is cleared into the hills, there is a strong gusty wind picks up and that the snow may start to drift in places. still snowing across parts of northern scotland
