and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, john stevens, the deputy political editor at the daily mail, and polly mackenzie, who's the chief executive of the cross—party think tank, demos. that's coming up after the headlines. now it's time for the weather. hello. by the end of this forecast, we'll be looking at the start of meteorological spring but before that, some of us still stuck in winter, especially across northern england, northern ireland and scotland, which saw disruptive snow on monday and elsewhere in england and wales, heavy rain exacerbated the flood risk. not as wet as over the flood risk. not as wet as over the next ten days, many areas sensitive to small amounts of rain and there's a number of flood warnings still in place. this is tuesday, a cold north—westerly wind, strong winds pushing plenty of wintry showers across the country and we are all in this colder air, so and we are all in this colder air, so parts of england and wales have had a fairly mild weekend but we'll notice different on tuesday. lots of

wintry showers around and by wintry, imean wintry showers around and by wintry, i mean they could contain sleet, hail, snow, even thunder and lightning and most frequent further west you are but nowhere immune from these wintry showers, blown through quickly on strong and gusty winds. the strongest in south—west england and among channel coast. five to nine celsius, add on the wind, feeling even colder. similar on wednesday. cold and really brisk north—westerly winds, the strongest in south—west england and through the channel islands, where we could see gales for a time. not as many showers on wednesday, mostly focused on northern and western scotland, northern ireland, parts of northern england, a few across wales and northern england and the further south and east you are, the likeliest chance of dry weather but cold feeling because of the wind. go back to third breather 26 last year, a high of 21 at kew gardens, feeling different on wednesday —— february.

this area of rain across the channel on thursday could come further north. keep an eye on the exact detail. away from here, a drier day for many, some wintry showers in northern and western scotland, may be north—west england, cold feeling given the wind. on friday it looks like we'll see our next spell of more persistent rain arriving from these fronts in the atlantic and gradually pushing north and east, and they'll hang around for a couple of days. a messy picture on friday, spells of persistent or heavy rain in parts of and wales, still wintryness to the precipitation in parts of scotland and northern ireland and he attempts five to seven. perking up a bit further south but it might not feel ten or 11 south but it might not feel ten or ii given the strength of the wind and rain. more rain to come on saturday, even messier as these frontal systems continue north and east. the rain heavy and persistent, translating to snow over the hills of northern england and scotland for a time on saturday. further

u nsettled a time on saturday. further unsettled weather to start the weekend, quite cold in scotland and northern ireland and for england and wales, highs of eight to ten. if you got outdoor plans this weekend, sunday will be the driest day for many but the risk of snow in higher ground of scotland, outbreaks in northern ireland, colder feeling ground of scotland, outbreaks in northern ireland, colderfeeling on sunday with highs of five to nine. as we look into next week, low still very much in charge, continuing to in from the atlantic notice the isobars, slightly wider, so not as windy as we look ahead to next week but with low pressure nearby, we still the risk of wintry showers potentially. the winds not as strong, but still feeling chilly and the risk of overnight frost. if you're looking for something drier as we move into meteorological spring, no sign of that at the moment. goodbye.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines: the disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein has been convicted of sexual assault and rape, and now faces up to 25 years in prison. it's no longer business as usual in the united states. this is the age of empowerment of women, and you cannot intimidate them any more. the latest on coronavirus, as people queue for masks in south korea, the world health organization warns that other countries, including italy, needed to take tougher measures. a man has been found guilty of murdering a pensioner by shooting him with a crossbow outside his home in anglesey last year. president trump makes his first official visit to india, where he greets a vast crowd in gujarat, but no sign of the sought—after trade deal between the us and india.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn stevens, the deputy political editor at the daily mail, and polly mackenzie, chief executive of the cross—party think—tank, demos. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the financial times leads on market turmoil caused by the coronavirus. investors are running for cover, it says. the guardian leads on the conviction of harvey weinstein. the hollywood mogulfaces jail after he was found guilty of rape. the daily telegraph gives much of its front page to a shot of the disgraced move producer. —— movie producer. it also has the story that britons returning from holiday in italy will be told to self—isolate to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus. the i also leads on the

downfall of weinstein. it says today's judgement is a vindication of the #metoo movement, with campaigners hailing a new era ofjustice for victims. "arrogance of a monster" is the way the daily mail reports the weinstein case. the paper also has the story of a suspected murder and suicide at a cottage where boris johnson lived as a child. and tomorrow's times says that weinstein could face up to 29 years behind bars, calling his conviction a watershed for abuse victims. well, let's have a look first of all at the daily mail, your paper, of course, john. and this very striking headline. striking headline and a lot of striking pictures on a lot of the front pages of harvey weinstein, there's only one word for this man and that is "monster" topic on of the incredible things about this story is how his arrogance continued up story is how his arrogance continued up until he was found guilty. there's a quote saying he expected

to be cleared of his crimes and he told friends he prayed the times we re told friends he prayed the times were turning and he talked about a comeback in hollywood and talked about making films again. finally this man has been brought tojustice and now he will be jailed and he could face further court action in los angeles. he's hoping other people come forward and he gets what he is deserving —— they are hoping. in court he was still in a state of denial. he said how this could happen in america, it is quite inspiring that it has, that there is a change in the way the rules of the game are set. women who have had the freedom to work and to participate in the economy for decades now also i'iow in the economy for decades now also now have the right to do so free from sexual harassment and intimidation by rich, powerful and predatory men. or at least we hope this will come to symbolise that. i

think the courage of the women who took this risk in a society where i think every assumption was that he would avail, they put themselves forward , would avail, they put themselves forward, they made these allegations, they've had their character and motivations attacked and pilloried for years now. rose mcgowan, one of the first actresses to come forward who started the #metoo movement, she is one of them but she also deserves a lot of credit on behalf of all women. john, the thing is, to be in this situation once is bad enough but you're effectively reliving it, aren't you, if you're having to tell this story in public. one wonders whether this really will encourage other women to come forward to do something that's extremely difficult, isn't it, to try to hold your attacker to account. it is, and these women had to testify in court and their motivations haven'tjust been questioned over the last few

yea rs, been questioned over the last few years, they've had the power of harvey weinstein against them and also in court it was suggested they had motivations and there were questions about things they had done after these attacks. obviously it took amazing bravery for them to step forward and take on this man. hopefully other people do the same. poly, do you think it well? do you think anything has changed already asa think anything has changed already as a result of this? i think as a result of this? ithinka as a result of this? i think a lot has changed because for women making that judgement i think a lot has changed because for women making thatjudgement when something horrific has happened to you about... do you put intentionally your career on the line for the sake of making an allegation? if you know that allegation? if you know that allegation is going to be ignored and you will not prevail then obviously you're just going to keep quiet about it. the more we can build confidence justice will be served, the more women will come forward. the more people tell the truth about these incidents, the harder it is for predators to live like this and abuse in the first

place. just have a look the guardian, which is also leading on this, another strong image of weinstein in the shadows there. weinstein facing jail. the lawyer has said her client would appeal and she says he took it like a would appeal and she says he took it likea man, would appeal and she says he took it like a man, he knows we will continue to fight for him and he knows this is not over. i'm literally... not literally speechless but i don't know what on earth they were thinking with this quote. i don't understand this idea of he took it like a man, apparently he was also squealing, "i'm innocent, i'm innocent!" what a mess, what a terrible man. a story we know isn't over in legal terms anyway because there's more cases intentionally ahead in california. let's move on to the other big story of the day, of course its coronavirus, lots of speculation about it being declared a pandemic, not sure if the who still does that, but the point is it is spreading

globally. the times headline: poly, already a big economic hit. of course, the first thing we think about is the threat to health from this but because china accounts for something like 25% of manufacturing, the slowdown in factories in the economy in china will have a huge knock—on effect around the world. the shift over the last 24 hours is less certainty that in fact coronavirus has been locked down. we felt like the numbers of new cases we re felt like the numbers of new cases were dwindling but it has surged in the last few days, in italy in particular, and if this spreads globally, that will have a huge impact. donald trump has tweeted tonight saying coronavirus is totally under control in america and the stock market looks great, which seems to bea market looks great, which seems to be a reaction from him, trying to talk the stock market back up again. closer to home, john, according to the times the british government is

likely to advise anyone who has visited in the last two weeks to stay at home if they got flu—like symptoms and the telegraph has the same story. the hope is this what the contained and it has now spread to europe, more cases in italy, so what do the government do now and how do they advise people? people who already have symptoms are suggested to self isolate and people who have been to italy where cases are bad, when they return to the uk they should self isolate. lots of companies suffering on the stock exchange are airlines because the worry is if it starts spreading globally, people might be less likely to travel and they could cancel holidays and they're less likely to book trips abroad. the economic hit is potentially endless, isn't it? if this no—balls throughout the globe and it goes from northern to southern hemisphere —— this snowballs. from northern to southern hemisphere -- this snowballs. the impact of people staying at home for two weeks after every holiday will affect their productivity regardless of

wider knock—on impacts on things like airlines or holidays. it's possible this will become an endemic aziz everywhere. fortunately, while what they call the r0, the number of new cases each person is likely to infect, is relatively high, the death toll is relatively low, much lower than something like ebola, 1% or 2%. people shouldn't panic and it's important people follow public health advice. if the elderly, though, isn't it if your children get it they are strong enough to fight it off but if they see their grandparents, they are putting family members at risk and that's the problem. absolutely, it will put huge pressure on healthcare systems. we've seen that in china where they have the potential to put a hospital up have the potential to put a hospital up in have the potential to put a hospital upina have the potential to put a hospital up in a week but in the uk putting one up in 40 years is a challenge!

i'm not going to mention hammersmith bridge, it's been closed or a long time, we need help with that one! an inside story in the times, the ongoing row with priti patel and senior civil servants. the times are saying a second tail official is out amid calls for the whitehall war to end —— patel. amid calls for the whitehall war to end -- patel. this is the difficult thing for her, civil servants move around and you see a lot of rotation and when new ministers come in they bring their new people and you see movement. anyone who leaves the home office will be thinking, is it something priti patel did? it's not a massively unusual thing to happen. the plot twist i'm not sure anyone was expecting here is the times have a letter from was expecting here is the times have a letterfrom sir humphrey wakefield, who is dominic cummings, the pm, his chief adviser‘s father—in—law, whenever you get someone in the organisation, he is suggesting, and they try to make

changes they get resistance. he said ifind it near changes they get resistance. he said i find it near impossible to change old habits without appearing to bully, throwing chilling water on attempted inspiration is a special skill of departmental leaders whose relaxed life is under threat. i'm not sure if he's defending his son—in—law or priti patel, but he suggesting whenever you get someone in making changes they get accused of being bullies. not sure it's a lwa ys of being bullies. not sure it's always the case. curious that there is this letter in the times, isn't it? interesting choice. iwonder if he cleared it with dominic cummings... his daughter works for the spectator. cummings is notoriously not pleased with people who do things without permission, so who do things without permission, so who knows what christmas will be like in the cummings/ wakefield family. clearly dominic cummings and the vote campaign were incredibly effective and we have to admire that

about them, but the level of discipline you run during a several week campaign is entirely different from the discipline you need to run an organisation like the government, which has tens of thousands of people and also over a number of years. this culture of dictatorial dynamism i guess that they are trying out in government, i worry it won't in fact deliver what they want. priti patel is leading the most notoriously difficult department, the home office. theresa may was the home secretary for six years. that was an extraordinary accomplishment. before that the home office just pour down great careers. david blunkett, charles clarke, because every time something goes wrong you get absolutely blamed. if you don't have those civil servants on your side because you've been meaning to them, then they will absolutely hang you out to dry. to be fair, though, prime ministers of every colour and senior politicians of every colour has criticised the

civil service, they can be obstinate, protecting their own interest, bloated, smoky reform and slow to take on the government's immediate priorities. all politicians have that frustration and the tension is therefore years. it seems boris johnson it seems borisjohnson and dominic cummings wanted to make changes, coming out to anoint people from the start. dominic cummings with his early blog and listing all the folds of the civil service. and it's ok to identify this thing. but to actively antagonise people for the sake of it, when you are trying to make changes, there are plenty of people out there who would want things to go wrong, the things to newspapers, you know. it's helpful to have people on your side when you're making changes. the thing that protects the civil service as we haveit protects the civil service as we have it now, if the neutral body that serves politicians of many calibres. it is a neutral body. the

prime ministers officially the minister for the civil service, he makes appointment of people like permanent secretaries. the rumour is pretty pitel tried to get rid of her permanent secretary, and attempting to do that is inevitably controversial. and gus o'donnell, the former cabinet secretary is also here in the time saying the government should try to de—escalate and civil servants should stop breathing against ministers. it only works if you have a positive relationship. you can have enemies and you need to have enemies to be a successful government. to take things on and get things done. but you also need allies. i'm not sure who they think their allies are. let's have a look at the telegraph stop loading. the weather is causing all sorts of continued chaos, isn't it? flood zones may have to be abandoned, says the environment g. surprise, surprise was that if you build on flood zones you get

problems of houses being flooded. he says we will keep seeing this happening. what changes need to be made to houses? one of the environment agency cheat is expected to make an announcement tomorrow saying when you're building a house, perhaps the living space should be upstairs? how do you make changes so we can get used to this happening over over again? there are numbers out suggesting 11,000 homes are planned for current floodplains. and it isn'tjust planned for current floodplains. and it isn't just about floodplains, also coastal erosion, which particularly affects norfolk and pass along our is closed. it's simply not cost—effective to protect these places and we should consider not abandoning the entirety or of these towns are anything, but that there might be some areas which are just not cost—effective to protect. they should either be abandoned or built somewhere else. fundamentally, quite a dramatic suggestion. we need to limit climate change as much as we can and that i would be required

as trillions of pounds of in investment and reading energy. as trillions of pounds of in investment and reading energym you are living in a house that is being flooded a lot —— green energy, then that is a top situation to be in and there is no easy solution —— tough situation. new building the green belt, do you not? adding that isi green belt, do you not? adding that is i think we should be more enthusiastic about building on the greenbelt and less enthusiastic about building on floodplains. move on to the daily mirror with a story on to the daily mirror with a story on harry and meghan. the security bill could sort to £20 million every year. the paper is suggesting if prince harry and meghan start chuckling around the world and raking in money for engagements just make travelling, it —— starts

doubling around the world, it would increase their security costs. nobody wants them to come to harm but when they do implement budgets, if they are making a lot of money from these engagements with big banks and staff, i think people would expect them to contribute to their security costs. i'm sure that's fair but to me this feels like the sort of thing they are running away from. to be fair to them, the mirror, we don't have the inside copy yet. sol them, the mirror, we don't have the inside copy yet. so i don't know what it says. but it says their security bill "could" rise to £20 million but we don't know who would pay for it yet. we don't know how much it is going to go up to what they are proposing. maybe they are happy to pay for it but we don't know. i worry in the context of harry and meghan is that it is perfectly possible they will do something awful but we shouldn't rush to judgement and assume everything they do is awful, because thatis everything they do is awful, because that is precisely why they have

found it intolerable to be members of the royal family and that surely isa of the royal family and that surely is a bit heartbreaking. you can say they are running away, running away to be royals and cash in without responsibilities? you are obviously more involved in political reporting thani more involved in political reporting than i am but there is a whole bunch of reporting from a whole lot of people who can't stand them. let's wait and see. sure, if tomorrow i am proved wrong because suddenly there are like £200 hoodie is with their faces on them being sold in their name, fine. but they haven't done anything awful yet. name, fine. but they haven't done anything awfulyet. let's name, fine. but they haven't done anything awful yet. let's give them time and space. still a talking point, harry and meghan. thank you very much. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later

on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, john stevens and polly mackenzie. and from all of us, goodnight. hello from the bbc sport centre. liverpool have continued their winning run in the premier league and they're nowjust four games away from their first top flight title since 1990. they did trail for 14 minutes before a goalkeeper error helped them to a 3—2 victory agaisnt west ham at anfield. correspondent katie gornall reports. side—by—side, but in the premier league, they are poles apart. while liverpool have turned the title into a one race, horse west ham are threatened with relegation and revolt. a protest against the club's owners. 52 points separated the buy

that kickoff —— the sides. rinaldo made it seem even bigger. with every possible statistic stacked against west ham, set pieces gave them their best chance of success. stunning the cob. liverpool look to reassert themselves but were frustrated by fabienne ski. ii at the break. liverpool are yet to drop a point at anfield this season, so this wasn't in the script. pablo causing chaos in the script. pablo causing chaos in the area and the stands. now the pressure was all on liverpool. the headline writers were poised into the story slipped away. what a moment to lose your grip! study are a manet was presented with a chance he couldn't miss —— sadio mane. while they were pushed closer than expected, it seems nothing can knock

them off course. two people that won't throw even a single punch could play the crucial role in determining whether there'll be a unification fight between britain's two heavyweight world champions. the promoters of tyson fury and anthonyjoshua are already trying to get their man the best deal. fresh from winning the wbc belt, tyson fury may instead have to face deontay wilder for a third time if the american triggers a rematch clause in the next 30 days, while anthonyjoshua has a mandatory challenger lined up. so let's hearfrom both eddie hearn and first fury‘s promoter frank warren. we were trying to make that fight for the last two years and all i kept hearing was it has to be 17—30 in favour of ajay and so forth. the ta bles in favour of ajay and so forth. the tables have turned now. 50—50 now, the fans want to see the fight and we will make it happen. if he wants to put his fight on in the uk or

outside the usa, he has to deal with us. from our point of view, the fight we wa nt from our point of view, the fight we want more than anything is the undisputed fight. the person who holds the key to that is tyson fury. if we can get that next, we are all in on that fight. you have a guy in tyson fury and i know you have a guy in anthonyjoshua, his already cold me asking how we make this might happen. and i've spoken to tyson fury's advisors and i believe there is genuine, genuine want for this fight to happen. —— called me asking how do we make this fight happen. six nations organisers say they're monitoring the coronavirus situation very closely, with the final two rounds of the tournament potentially under threat. italy is exerpiencing the largest outbreak of the virus in europe and the weekend's women's match against scotland was postponed. england are due to travel there in the final round of games. osprey‘s and ulster‘s matches in the pro 14 on saturday have been called off, and in football inter milan's europa league game

on thursday will take place behind closed doors at the san siro. hosts australia have their first win at the women's t20 world cup, beating sri lanka by five wickets in perth today. india beat australia in their opening match and are now top of group a after beating bangladesh. they made 142—6 and then restricted their opponents to 124—8 to secure an 18—run victory. that's all the sport for now. hello. it's been a day of contrasts across the uk. some significant and in places destructive snowfall across parts of northern england, northern ireland and scotland. meanwhile, across england and wales, further heavy rain exacerbating the flood risk. through this evening and overnight further persistent snow across part of scotland, particularly across the grampians, highlands and aberdeenshire, slowly starting to is away but also replaced by further winters i was missing in from the north and north—west bringing further

accumulations in places. brightest and clearest the further east you are, colder across england and wales compared to recently and as low as -2 compared to recently and as low as —2 across parts of northern scotland. let's have a look at tuesday. we have a cold north—westerly wind, strong winds as well pushing further wintry showers across the uk. these showers are likely to contain not only snow but hail, sleet, thunder and lightning as well. so further accumulations are possible. and the potential we could see a bit of snow across parts of central, southern england and wales. fewer showers but nowhere immune from seeing them. the strongest across parts of south—west england and the channel coast. it is going to take the edge off temperatures. 5— nine celsius, colder across england and compare to recently, add the strength of the wind and it will feel even colder. that's because our minds back to february 2019, where it was 21 celsius that you gardens. wednesday is going to feel very different. ——

at kew gardens. in the channel islands, those winds could touch gale force. wintry showers around but mostly across northern scotland, northern ireland, may be wales and into the midlands. patchy for much of england and with some sunshine. it will be a windy day and taking the edge off with kaiser 5— nine celsius. we keep our highs on the atlantic, in effect we will see spells of rain across southern england for a time and then later for many of us as we going to friday these frontal systems really starting to ramp up, some spells are ran for many, also further snow of the higher ground of northern england and scotland. so a couple of cold days with wintry showers and by the end of the week further rain with the potential for further flooding, though a number of flood warnings all there. goodbye.
