good evening and welcome to bbc news. four more cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed here in the uk, bringing the total to 13. those taken ill were among a group of 32 who returned to the uk yesterday, after being held in quarantine on a cruise ship injapan. there's growing concern that world is facing a pandemic, with italy announcing what it's described as "urgent" and "extraordinary" measures, to tackle the biggest outbreak in europe. first tonight, jon donnison reports on the latest cases here in the uk.

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 airplane 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. nhs they have done a brilliant job, and numbertwo, wuhan 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 a hundred 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 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, rome. well, paul hunter is a proessor of health protection at the university of east anglia and joins us live now. good evening, thanks for being with us on good evening, thanks for being with us on bbc news. let me ask you first, what are your observations about what's happening in italy? well, it's very difficult at this

point to actually work out what's going wrong exactly. the italians seem to be responding in an appropriate way to what, potentially, is going to be a very large outbreak. don't forget this is just day one. all of the experience to date is that they won may seem bad at the time but when you look back at it after day three, day four, it seems quite small. 0ne would expect the number of cases to increase fairly dramatically over the coming two or three days. we've had some, interesting journalistically but potentially worrying bits of information from different places which, taken together, there may be exclamation is for each individually but what seems to be striking at the moment and concerning the world health organization, whereas we were clear how people were infected initially, contact in china, travelled to and from china, some of the more recent cases in places like iraq and other

parts of the world, the link with china is much less clear. yeah, absolutely. and that is a substantial cause for concern. if you know how the disease is spreading then you can actually better target your control measures to try and prevent further spread. if you have no idea where people are getting infections from, it's almost impossible to actually stop that underlying spread from occurring and you slowly have to focus on actually controlling the spread from the people that you do know about, and hopefully you'll be able to actually find out about the others at some point in the future. but it's quite concerning, certainly. the world health organization issued this advice based on the experience in china about the 14 day period, where

if you've gone 14 days and testing negative, you can be reasonably confident you were past the infectious stage. is that vice going to be reconsidered, do you think? —— should that advice be reconsidered. it's being reconsidered all the time. we've been getting indications now for about a week that some people might actually have a much longer incubation period than the 14 days but it's always very difficult in that context because you never really know that people haven'tjust had another contact more recently. but nevertheless it is becoming clear that some people at least, may be only a small proportion, will actually have a longer incubation period. whether that changes what you do about the 14 days is not clear because... if it is a very small proportion that go onto that,

maybe you can move away from the... and keep the 14 day quarantine but get people to be a little bit more cautious and aware and get in touch if they get ill. but it is still very much up in the about how one can control this. —— up in the air. we'll leave the pandemic west and for another day and that's a question for the world health organization which is quite complicated. i3 organization which is quite complicated. 13 confirmed cases in the uk. what mechanisms are in place in our system, the uk. what mechanisms are in place in oursystem, and the uk. what mechanisms are in place in our system, and i appreciate a lot of it is devolved, but nhs england, for instance, for upscaling, if we start to see a significant rise in the number of confirmed cases? at the moment the focus is on identifying the cases we've had and keeping them out of

circulation into the high consequence units, where they are nursed by extremely skilled nurses and looked after by very able doctors who can work in a setting where they can control the infection. if we start getting large numbers of cases, we would simply not have enough beds in the high consequence units and what we'd have to move towards it some move towards what is called cohort nursing where you start nursing groups of patients together on the same ward. in terms of the infectiousness of the illness and the way it's spread, that will almost certainly be adequate to control the spread from the people we have already within the system but clearly people you don't know about can still potentially pose a risk either because they don't realise they're ill or they're

worried they are getting ill but they don't want to tell anybody. how you deal with that i think at the moment is not very clear and although i'm sure public health england have plans in place for if the outbreak gets quite aggressive, i think there will come a point where actually the spread in the communities is so great that anything we do will not really have anything we do will not really have an impact on the trajectory of the outbreak. thank you forjoining us. the british boxer, tyson fury, has won the wbc world heavyweight title in las vegas, producing a devastating display to beat the american, deontay wilder, in their highly anticipated rematch. fury twice knocked his opponent to the floor, before the fight was stopped in the seventh round. after the fight, fury

thanked his team — and all of the fans who travelled to america to support him. a big shout to andy lee and sugarhill and the kronk boys, my brothers and my family who came to support me. and everybody from around the world who came and supported me tonight. i just looked at the ring walk there. what a ring walk, patsy cline, who would have thought it? crazy, man. tonight looked like a night when you were so at home here and you knew this was going to be a special night in your career. this was written in the stars, i million miles away. before i was ever born, i was destined to do what i did. i have had the highs and lows and everybody knows about it. tonight was the icing on the cake. i have completed everything in boxing and there is nothing more to complete. but if he wants a rematch i will give it to him. and then i have got another old fella across the pond who might want a little tickle with the gypsy king, and that is it then, completed. done. but...that ovation as you went towards the ring was almost moving, the passion behind you. you know, we broke all records here tonight with capacity

and capacity at the weigh—in, and i just want to say a big shout out and much, much love to all the fans who supported me from around the world. it really did show tonight and they spurred me on. all you could hear was, "there's only one tyson fury". it spurred me on to get the knockout for sure. you told us all about how you were going to get on the front foot this time. i knew it! when that bell sounded, what was in your head? i was straight on him and i wanted to put him on the back foot, as i did. and you know, i got caught in round one on the side of my head, round here i think. oh, there, right there, bang with his big right hand, but i answered him right back with one of my own. bang, like that. were you buzzed? i wasn't buzzed, but it hurt. ifelt it for sure. listen, it's heavyweight boxing and wilder's a massive puncher. he ain't gonna go down without swinging. i think the way you hit that, i think, might well have demoralised him, in that he landed a really good shot and then... the thing is, deontay wilder was already demoralised coming into this fight. he hit me last time, he cherry picked me last time when i was not ready, and that was a dare

to be great made by me. it worked out for me, but he couldn't beat me on 50%. he was never going to beat me tonight. it wasn't written in the stars for him. and yeah, good luck to deontay in his career. when you knocked him down in the third round, was there a temptation to then just try to get it done even earlier? you know what? i was hurting him every time i was hitting him with a right—hand left hook. and my corner was saying, "listen. keep it long, keep it calm. "keep it calm, keep it long." i didn't want to rush my work, and maybe i crowded it a little bit too much at times, but i was just trying to wear him out, aim at the body, hit him with the other shot, and then what a left hook i hit and buried him with to the body! just quickly, that feeling at the end when the towel came in and the referee said, "it's all over"...? to be honest i was a little bit disappointed because i wanted it to go on longer so i could punish him even more. you know, last time we fought, he put me down twice. i paid him back with three knock—downs in a fight. thank you and good night. michael costello from five live sport talking to tyson fury, the new wbc heavyweight champion.

british boxing fans have been celebrating fury‘s victory back home. as a young boxer 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. let's speak now to jamie moore. he is a former british, commonwealth and european super welterweight champion and is now a successful trainer. did you stay up to watch the match oi’ did you stay up to watch the match ordid did you stay up to watch the match or did you get up early?” did you stay up to watch the match or did you get up early? i got up early, i woke my son at 4:30am and we watched events unfold. what did you make of it? fantastic. never

expected in a million years for him to be so brazen, to come out on the front foot. i know he said it in the build—up but i never expected him to be bold enough to go out and do it. i thought it was mind games. but in hindsight, a great thing, tyson is probably right. he got tyson at about 50% the first time around, but having more rounds under his belt, he was in better condition. tyson is one of those fighters who lowered himself to the level of his opposition sometimes. we always knew that day on wilder was dangerous opposition. the way that the tactics we re opposition. the way that the tactics were employed was fantastic. it will go down as one of the greatest british performances on foreign soil ever. a terrific watch, wasn't it? even listening to the commentary on

five live, there was a real drama and atmosphere to the match. quite a few of these big boxing bouts, people feel like they are going through the motions, thinking about the prize money and the next person they're going to fight. but this felt like two fighters at the top of the game and the audience and people listening and watching at home were really engaged with this. yeah, what you've got to understand is that at the top level of professional boxing, there's so much at stake. you could sort of understand that when the best top fighters in the weight division, against together you don't want to make any mistakes, so you don't want to make any mistakes, so sometimes they can be extra cautious. in situations like last night, tyson fury, he feels like he's on a mission, like he's sent to help people. i've seen so many interviews where he talks about

mental health and the struggles he is overcome. you get to the stage where he's got to... its like he's chasing greatness. the only way to do that is to go out there and perform the way he did. he could have easily gone in there and stuck to the same tactics as last time. the old cliche, if it's not broke, don't fix it. he went out there and said you know what, i'm going to prove that i was the best last time, going to dominate the fight. no issues with the american judges and referee, they didn't question him once because he believed in himself. he went out there and took the initiative, grabbing the fight by this graph of the neck and put in one of the best performances i've seen one of the best performances i've seen from a british fighter. you've gone from being a boxer to being a trainer, trying to inspire people who want to become what tyson fury has become, and people like anthony joshua, big success stories. when you look at tyson fury, the old, if

ican you look at tyson fury, the old, if i can put it that way, the tyson fury who was fighting depression but also the misuse of drink and drugs, saying things that were homophobic and racist, pretty nasty stuff, and how he performed and how he was regarded by the british fans then, and you look at how he is, reclaiming the title and how he's regarded now, what's the lesson, do you think, for people who want to be successful in boxing about mastering your own mental demons as well as being physically fit?|j your own mental demons as well as being physically fit? i think tyson fury is a role model for anybody who is made mistakes in the past and can look at themselves in the mirror and say listen, i have done wrong but i wa nt to say listen, i have done wrong but i want to write those wrongs. you can't do that without a lot of sacrifice and hard work and dedication. we've just seen the kids

in the amity club from tyson fury‘s old place, who were so inspired by him. you're going to get that from the top to the bottom of the country. we are blessed to have two of the best heavyweights the country has ever seen around at the same time in the same era and are both great war models, for different reasons. people from different backgrounds. —— great role models. some people prefer tyson fury, some anthonyjoshua, for valid some people prefer tyson fury, some anthony joshua, for valid reasons. we are lucky to have two sportsmen who our children deserve and should look up to people like them. tyson fury may not have made some great decisions in the past but he's made sure that he is fixed those wrongs and put it into practice and proved that with hard work and dedication you can turn your life around. pleasure to speak to you.

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. results from japan have only just been confirmed. the virus has spread to 21 countries — six people have now died in south korea and a third death has 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. 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. you must recognise that the flooding infrastructure we've invested in and put in place over the last decade is working and delivering benefits. in the last week we would have had 25,000 homes flooded if not for that. when i worked for david cameron and 2007. you can remember the floods in his constituency. it was a weather event far less severe than we've seen recently and 17,000 homes were flooded. the work we've done is delivering results. but absolutely, the challenge and risks are greater and we must do even more besides and that's why we're putting oui’ besides and that's why we're putting our money where our mouth is and spending an extra 4 billion in the five years. george eustice. 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. but now the conservative mayor of the west midlands has come up with a solution. he wants 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. 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 would 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 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. if you want to hear more about the housing situation, a very interesting edition of bottom—line, broadcast yesterday on radio four. you can find it on the bbc sounds at. evan davies and his guests explaining about the situation in housing and looking at possible solutions. very interesting report there, but listen to evan davies as well. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick. looks like some of us are going to be dealing with snow for the monday morning commute, especially on the higher routes across northern britain. this evening and tonight, the next area of cloud and rain. pushing into colder air,

the next area of cloud and rain. pushing into colderair, in the next area of cloud and rain. pushing into colder air, in northern england, scotland, the central belt, may be some slushy accumulations. several centimetres into the higher routes and hills. all that on monday, it feeds farther north over scotland. even where it's cleared into the hills, a strong and gusty wind picks up, the snow may drift. elsewhere for the rest of england and wales, an area of rain, heavy at times, moving south and clearing to brighter skies. a blustery day with gusty wind and a range of temperatures from north to south across the uk. coldest where we have snow that will clear on monday night and then a cold few days with sunny spells and wintry showers. hello this is bbc news. the headlines.
