in the poorest communities in england has declined since 2011 according to a new report on health inequality. health has stopped improving. health inequalities are increasing and the recommendations that we made ten years ago are not being acted on and acting on them would create better societies. campaigners against sexual violence have welcomed the guilty verdicts in the case against former hollywood producer, harvey weinstein — as he is taken to hospital on his way to prison. stop building houses on flood plains in england unless it's absolutely necessary — that's the warning from the head of the environment agency. coming up — eu ministers are set to meet in brussels to approve their opening position for negotiations on the future relationship with the uk. and premier league leaders liverpool are now 22 points clear at the top of the table after a 3—2 home win

against west ham last night. good morning, and welcome to the bbc news at 9. the health secretary has told the bbc that any uk residents returning from areas in northern italy currently on lock—down because of coronavirus — and since febraury 19th — should "self—isolate" and seek health advice from the nhs. the advice comes after the outbreak spread to italy — which now has the largest number of cases in europe. in the past hour, there are reports that a hotel in tenerife has quarantined around 1,000 guests after an italian tourist tested positive there for the virus.

lets take a look at the figures: the worst—hit countries are intensifying their efforts to contain the spread as the number of cases globally surpassed 80,000. 50,000 residents in the quarantined areas in italy have been told they cannot leave for two weeks without special permission. people are being advised to self—isolate for 1h days if they have travelled to the affected areas — whether they are showing symptoms or not. coronavirus cases in italy rose from three to 229 over four days. and seven people in the country have died from the disease. the health secretary has been explaining the advice for uk residents travelling to and from italy. the official travel advice has not been changed. clearly, for the cities in northern italy where the

italian government has then quarantined, we are not aware of any british citizens who are within the quarantine area. if they are, we would ask them to get in contact with the embassy in rome. we are not where there are any brits in the area that is quarantined. in terms of going to italy as a whole, we have not changed the travel advice but we are clear if you come back from northern italy and you have symptoms, then you should self—isolate. my top priority is protecting the public. i take a science —based approach when listening very carefully to the chief medical officer. we have some of the best experts in the world working on this right now and providing the sort of advice for us to be able to communicate to the

public. the latest advice is if you have beenin the latest advice is if you have been in one of the 11 towns in northern italy in quarantined then you should self—isolate, even if you have no symptoms of coronavirus. bethany bell is in the italian city of piacenza. hello to you. what is happening with the numbers? these towns that have been put into quarantine, that affects around 50,000 people who had been asked to stay at home, to not me the way in order to try to contain the spread of the virus. you know, it is also life outside those zones which have been affected as well. schools have been closed, universities are closed, museums are closed by some major sporting events have been shut down. today is mardi

gras, what should be the climax of venice's famous carnival. no celebrations had been cancelled in an attempt to try to stem the spread of the virus. that containment effort, obviously a massive effort. talk to us about the wider economic impact for italy. it puts people into a very strange situation here. life has to try to go on, people are having to cope with everyday life. it is very interesting but then you talk to people, some people say these are very important measures. perhaps the government didn't act quickly enough and we need to try to stop the disease spreading. 0thers ta ke stop the disease spreading. 0thers take a more cavalier approach in see it is an overreaction, we have to keep working, keep going. there are fears about the impact on the economy of the region, which is

italy's economic powerhouse and a sense from milan to veneto, it is a very industrial region. if there are to be more cases of quarantine and problems with people moving in and out, it could have an impact on the economy. i have been speaking to people just in cafe is in economy. i have been speaking to peoplejust in cafe is in bars and things around here, some are shut and some people say they are experiencing not many people coming to them. in little time is just around the containment area, some businesses have been closed as well. there are shops with big shutters up and there are signs on them saying they have been closed for the duration while they try to stem the spread of the coronavirus. thank you. earlier, our seoul correspondent laura bicker sent this update from south korea. the president of south korea has been visiting daegu, the worst affected area, where we are now today. he has met with medics

and he had met with officials. he has urged them to keep carrying on, he will do everything he can to direct government funds, emergency funds, to this area. but as he was speaking just outside the city hall where he was meeting people, there were a number of small protests. many people are angry that they cannot get one of these, they cannot get a facemask. there was another huge queue of people outside the supermarket this morning hoping to get a facemask and in a facemask and in a facemask —— enough facemasks to keep them going. it is becoming apparent that this is not going to go away overnight. there is a new update for the death toll in south korea from the coronavirus and stands at 11. 11 dead from the coronavirus in south korea. jenny hill is in tokyo. when we think ofjapan and the coronavirus, a lot of focus was

around the diamond princess cruise ship. about from that, their numbers have been rising as well, haven't they? they have. that is what is worrying the authorities. the majority of cases injapan had been linked to the diamond princess cruise ship. the majority of passengers have disembarked, following more than two weeks in quarantine. what is concerning the japanese authorities are the number of cases separate to that. around about 150. local media reports are just a small proportion may be japanese citizens, who had been evacuated from wuhan in china but the rest are in towns and villages. the authorities are particularly concerned about not really being able to say exactly how and where those people became infected. that isa those people became infected. that is a big headache for them. the second problem for the japanese government is the fact that in five

months‘ time for this country is due to host the 2020 olympics. just down the road from where i am standing you can see 2020 banners all over the street. the authorities this morning said it was far too early to start talking about cancellations. we know the international 0lympics committee is saying at the moment there is no need to do anything. the situation is changing and the situation is changing and the situation is changing and the situation is continually being monitored. thank you for that. so what‘s been the impact on businesses and economies? well, afterfeeling relatively robust for a while now, markets have finally responded. our business correspondent dominic 0‘connell is here. in fact, the footsie in london had its worst day yesterday in five yea rs. its worst day yesterday in five years. the markets didn‘t seem to have been troubled too much by the virus up to this point, so why now? a lot of stock market strategists said it is going to bejust like

sars. after two was three months, everything will be ok. then there we re everything will be ok. then there were outbreaks in south korea, italy and iran which showed that idea was wrong and it was not contained in china and it was not going to be a one month wonder. so it had its worst day in five years. full is in the us stock markets. the tokyo exchange was closed on monday. that is were falls in the us stock markets. everybody waking up to the fa ct markets. everybody waking up to the fact this really is going to dent company earnings. what is a stock exchange? it is a predictor of future company earnings and a price of future company earnings. we have come off the best year ever, not quite ever but nearly, us stock markets were up 30% last year, the ftse 100 markets were up 30% last year, the ftse100 up markets were up 30% last year, the ftse 100 up 12%. markets were up 30% last year, the ftse100 up 12%. people were getting nervous about whether it was time to

sell. they probably didn‘t need much ofan sell. they probably didn‘t need much of an excuse. when you look at the chinese economy and the impact, where the first outbreak of the virus was, what lessons do think markets will gain from the sars outbreak? a different outbreak, behaving in a different way. perhaps some lessons to be learned from that. there are lessons in terms of gdp. sars not .5% of gdp. the coronavirus could knock 1% of the global gdp in a year. that is quite a robust forecast at the minute. the ftse100 this morning injust over an hour has done almost nothing. it is up about .1 of 1%. traders are looking for their next piece of news in order to get some momentum to the market. central banks everywhere, particularly in china, are doing all they can to keep stock markets high.

donald trump said us stock markets now look to be good value. by pushing investors into stock markets, it is the only real place you can get any real return. all supported by central banks. the coronavirus is pushing on the other direction. a line on coronavirus in relation to the canary island of tenerife. we had been reporting that a p pa re ntly tenerife. we had been reporting that apparently 1000 guests at a hotel on tenerife are in quarantine after one coronavirus case was identified there. an italian tourist in that hotel. we are now seeing that spanish health authorities are carrying out tests on hundreds of tourists in the hotel. that is the latest line coming to us about the situation on the island of tenerife. much more on the coronavirus throughout the morning. the life expectancy of women has fallen in the most deprived areas of england,

according to a new report. the study by sir michael marmot — who‘s one of the country‘s leading experts on health inequalities — said austerity was a significant factor. here‘s our health correspondent, dominic hughes. dearfuture me. by the time you read this letter, 20 years will have passed. you will have grown up and primary school will be a distant memory. at richmond academy primary school in 0ldham, pupils are casting their eyes to the future. what do we want to be in 20 years‘ time? encouraging this kind of ambition in one of the most deprived parts of greater manchester is a vital element in the school‘s mission. working with the whole family so they have options in the years to come. we encourage our parents to be... so they can be healthy too, so they can have a healthy mindset and a healthy body. the school makes a point of looking at the bigger picture, how education is linked to health, housing, work and family. many of our families have gone

on to achieve gcses now, they are in paid employment. it‘s a route not only for the children but the whole family, family at the centre of our school. today‘s report on health and inequalities in england suggest this kind of approach is needed more than ever. it says life expectancy is stalled over the past decade, with a growing health divide between rich and poor. the more deprived the area, the shorter the life expectancy and it blames austerity which it says has taken a significant toll on the health of the nation. if health‘s not improving and health inequalities are increasing, something‘s going on with society. —— going wrong. society is not improving and inequalities in society are increasing. the government says it‘s determined to narrow the health gap between rich and poor are levelling up access to health care. —— by levelling up. this is a report that makes for uncomfortable reading, highlighting a decade of missed opportunities and worsening health. dominic hughes, bbc news, 0ldham.

the shadow health secretaryjon ashworth joins me from westminster. good morning to you. i guess you are going to be saying, we told you said to be conservatives over this. going to be saying, we told you said to be conservatives over thislj will to be conservatives over this.” will not be saying that because it is quite depressing. it is a devastating verdict on ten years of tory cuts and austerity. life expectancy is stalling. for the poorest 10% of women, it is actually declining that is quite shameful and probably going to get worse because we are going to see child poverty in this country rise to the highest level on record. hire child poverty than even in the thatcher years. we will continue to see a failure to invest in social care, affecting many elderly women. unless the government does something urgently on levels up the country as they had promised, people in poorer areas

will continue to get sick quicker and die sooner. they had to do something about that. this is not the first report from sir michael. he issued another report on health inequalities when labour had been in power for inequalities when labour had been in powerfor a period at inequalities when labour had been in power for a period at that point. the pattern was already emerging. doesn‘t this go wider than one party‘s policy in government to give us party‘s policy in government to give usa party‘s policy in government to give us a sense party‘s policy in government to give us a sense of a country that is not coping with the demands of its population? it tells you something about the condition of the nation. the first report was ten years ago. the first report was ten years ago. the recommendations of that report we re the recommendations of that report were not acted upon. we cut back on investing in schools and less government closed sure start centres and communities. they have allowed insecure work to become the characteristic of the labour market and allowed child poverty to increase and is set to increase

further. today we have dozens of people sleeping on our streets, charity supporting children scavenging in bins. 0ne charity supporting children scavenging in bins. one of the really worrying things about this report, it is showing a big opening up, a big north— south divide in health inequalities. what you want to see the government do about this quickly? —— what do you want? to see the government do about this quickly? -- what do you want? do not go ahead with cuts which will increase child poverty. help with addiction problems and mental health problems. more and more people are dying from suicide and drug and alcohol abuse. the —— invest in early years. stop austerity. and the cuts to public services. it is about peoples lives. it is shameful that peoples lives. it is shameful that people are dying prematurely in life

due to the cutbacks. we saw cities where lots of initiatives are starting at ground level, at a community level, to try to tackle some of the issues. how much of the a nswer some of the issues. how much of the answer lies there rather than at government level? that is really important. it is not the responsibility of the department of health, the department for education, it is about all of government working together alongside local government. local councils are all getting budget slashed again under the conservatives. that will hinder their ability to make the sort of interventions that are needed. we need a new approach. every government decision should be about improving the health and well—being of the nation. that is what levelling up is. it has not happened for ten years and we have gone backwards. that means people getting a quick and dying sooner in the

poorest areas. that is shameful. thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news... the government announces new advice for british nationals from italy which now has the largest number of cases of coronavirus in europe. a new report says health inequalities in england have increased to a shocking degree over the past ten years. harvey weinstein‘s lawyers say they‘ll appeal against the hollywood producer‘s convictions for rape and sexual assault. in the sport, questionable goalkeeping helped liverpool to a 3— to victory over west ham for an 18th consecutive premier league win. deontay wilder blames his costume four defeat to tyson fury. he says

he will trigger his right for a third fight. a memorial service for kobe bryant in la, attended by more than 30,000 people. i will be back with more of those stories. eu ministers are meeting in brussels this morning to approve their opening position for negotiations on the future relationship with the uk. here, the prime minister will chair a committee that handles trade negotiations. britain‘s negotiating mandate will be published on thursday. 0ur brussels correspondent, adam fleming is there. morning tea year. what do you know about what the opening position is going to be? —— morning to you. is there some discomfort about the lack of time to sort out the situation? there is a draft floating around. it

was agreed by ambassadors from member states yesterday to be stamped by ministers today. it is 46 pages long and covers all areas of the future membership that are mentioned in the political declaration which goes alongside the divorce agreement, the withdrawal deal, regulations on financial services and security, all of that stuff is in here. this is the blueprint that michel barnier will follow in the negotiations. these documents are very important. the eu will only accept a final outcome which is pretty similar to the starting point, maybe only a few degrees either side. worth printing of your own copy and reading it and rereading it again. it is a road map for all the rows we are going to have over the next few months. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is in downing street. the cabinet is meeting this morning.

what are you hearing and of briton‘s negotiating mandate being published? the eu proposals have been given a decidedly cool response by government sources, who say our priority is about control, taking back control. that does not mean accepting eu rules and regulations and not accepting future eu rules and not accepting future eu rules and regulations. the view of the british government as we are an independent sovereign country. we wa nt independent sovereign country. we want control of our own rules and regulations and that means we would like a like canada and the argument from british government sources is that deal was on offer from the eu and the british government is saying, we want to meet the same criteria as canada. we are quite happy with that but we are not going to sign up to your rules and regulations. it is argued british rules in some areas like employment

rights, they say they are better than eu wills and britain is not saying to the eu, you had to match our rules. —— rules. that leaves open the possibility an agreement will not be reached. the mood music from number 10 is that the prime minister is prepared to walk away and go on to world trade 0rganisation terms. he is not worried about that and thinks britain will be able to strike deals with other countries. the british government seems determined to press ahead at speed and other negotiations with donald trump and the us at the same time as negotiations with the eu, in the hope of creating a bit of leverage, a bit of pressure on the eu. thank you. lawyers for the disgraced hollywood film producer, harvey weinstein, say they‘ll appeal against his conviction for rape and sexual assault. the 67—year—old should have spent the night in new york‘s rikers island jail, but he complained of chest pains and was taken to a specialist unit for treating prisoners.

campaigners against sexual violence have welcomed the guilty verdicts and say they usher in a new era ofjustice. this report, from our north america correspondent peter bowes, contains flash photography. breaking news tonight — harvey weinstein guilty of rape. harvey weinstein was taken from new city courtroom in handcuffs today. the verdict that means harvey weinstein could be heading to prison for up to 29 years. the film producer, who‘s 67, was put into handcuffs and led away to await his sentencing next month. he was found guilty of sexually assaulting mimi haleyi, a former production assistant, in 2006, and for raping jessica mann, an aspiring actress, in 2013. 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, because women will not be silenced.

prosecutors paid tribute to the women who came forward to help convict the movie mogul. to those of us who were privileged to be in the courtroom when they testified, you know what we mean. these survivors weren't just brave, they were heroic. leading figures in the #metoo movement applauded the jury‘s decision. the actress rose mcgowan, one of the early accusers, said the conviction was a huge step forward in our collective healing. this is a stunning downfall for one of hollywood‘s leading figures. his lawyers plan to launch an appeal but harvey weinstein also faces another trial in california, where he‘s accused of sexual assault. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles.

the head of the environment agency is calling for further housing development on flood plains in england to be stopped. in a speech this morning, sirjames bevan will also say that hard truths need to be faced about the need to move some communities. the warning comes as river levels are set to reach their highest ever level in shropshire today, after weeks of heavy rain. some people living close to the river in ironbridge have been told to leave their homes. and in shrewsbury, the water level is continuing to rise after more rain overnight. john maguire reports. it was on this road, just on the edge of shrewsbury 24—hour is again, it was wet and water was coming up through the drains. it was not like this, it was not really flooded. since we have been here since early this morning, the level has come up the road but only by a few millimetres, according to the environment agency. the peak of the river severn has started to plateau. we are expecting it to peak later today but hopefully not much higher

thanit today but hopefully not much higher than it is now. take a look. the theatre over the back is well protected by the huge flat wall and the flood gates. but there is an enormous amount of water moving through. we can speak to the environment agency and a local cafe owner from just further along the river. just describe the last eight days for us for you. we had been hit by three floods in eight days, initially by a book that burst its banks. it took a business out and finished everything off. we have also had floods from the river twice, once 48 hours later and now this one this week. we had to say, we had a fantastic community in ironbridge the hat when the first blood came out in force and try to help us clean up, only for it to be undone 48 hours later. have you had

dry periods in between? we have. we dried out between the second and less blood. we have got heaters in all sorts in the building and it was trying out really well. —— this flood. we got a call late monday saying they needed to empty our building again because it was coming up building again because it was coming up through the floors, which is exactly what it did do. it has impacted you hugely so far. are you optimistic about getting back on your feet? we are hoping with the community support we have we are hoping to be up and running sometime in the next month. i don't have any income coming in at the moment, the wife has no income coming in. two people have lost theirjobs over it but hopefully only temporary. with the help from the community and the just giving page some of them have

set up, we are hoping to be back in it in about a month. ina in a moment, the weather but first here‘s joanna gosling with what‘s coming up on the victoria derbyshire programme at ten. we will hear from zoe brock, one of the first to accuse harvey weinstein of sexual assault. we will talk to her about his conviction. the low cost car insurance firm karat as we reveal the smartphone app supposed to track car journeys reveal the smartphone app supposed to track carjourneys can run the record data. it started to play up when it came to myjourneys and it was not recording them properly. i got a bit blase and said it did not matter. i realised it was not connecting a tool and i did not want to risk having an accident and i might not be covered at all. join us

at ten o‘clock. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. good morning. a bit of a breakfrom the persistent rain over the next couple of days, sunshine and showers but much colderfor couple of days, sunshine and showers but much colder for england and wales, so some showers contain snow. they have already done so over the west of scotland, northern ireland and northern england, that even further south showers could have some snow. not too many showers across the east of the country, just the odd one passing by. quite a noticeable breeze, even though temperatures are around four to 8 degrees it will only feel like two to five celsius. stronger winds in the south will bring showers through in the evening rush—hour, potentially the wettest time for the south—east will be the evening. wind gusts not as strong further south, showers are rented to the evening rush—hour, wintry into lower levels, across parts of eastern scotland you

may stay dry. wind gusts not as strong as yesterday, another cold night with some frost, without and with temperatures getting close to not below freezing in many parts of the country, it could be an icy commute. this is bbc news with me, annita mcveigh. the headline s... as the fight against the spread of coronavirus continues — the government tells people returning from areas of northern italy currently in lockdown to self isolate and seek nhs advice. anybody who has been to italy north of pisa, if they have flu like symptoms, they should self—isolate, meaning go home and try to stay out of co nta ct meaning go home and try to stay out of contact with other people. measures to contain the virus around

the world are stepped up. in south korea, an 11th person has died from the illness and iran has reported another three deaths. now spanish media reports suggest that around one thousand guests at a hotel on tenerife are in quarantine after an italian tourist tested positive for coronavirus life expectancy among women living in the poorest communities in england has declined since 2011, according to a new report on health inequality. campaigners against sexual violence have welcomed the guilty verdicts in the case against former hollywood producer harvey weinstein — as he is taken to hospital on his way to prison. stop building houses on flood plains in england unless it‘s absolutely necessary — that‘s the warning from the head of the environment agency. eu ministers will meet in brussels this morning to approve their opening position for negotiations on the future relationship with the uk. president trump and the indian prime minister, narendra modi, have hailed what they called a strengthened partnership after one on one talks in the capital, delhi.

time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. the news that life expectancy among women living in the poorest communities in england has declined is being picked up on twitter. the report is by one of the country‘s leading experts on health inequalities, professor sir michael marmot, and comes ten years after he first published data on the growing gap between rich and poor, and between north and south, in england. it‘s trending under the hashtag #marmot2020 and the children‘s commissioner for england anne longfield has tweeted. she says: "today‘s marmot report again shows child poverty is rising and again makes the case for early intervention to reduce it. poverty holds kids back and its prevalence in a country as prosperous as ours is shameful." professor louise kenny from liverpool university has tweeted: "#marmot2020 is depressing reading and comes as no surprise to liverpool university where we have been studying how inequality affects the health

of liverpool for decades." nurse sally hirst tweets: "this is really sad but confirms what we see every day as public health nurses. huge cuts to services over the last ten years have had a devastating effect on the most vulnerable in society." rob trimble heads the bromley by bow centre, a community organisation in east london, and says: "no doubt some people will interpret #marmot2020 as making the case for more hospitals and doctors. wrong. it‘s making the case for investment in our poorest communities and the grassroots organisations across the country that are operating on a wing and a prayer." in a statement, the health secretary matt hancock said: "there is still much more to do, and our bold prevention agenda, record £33.9 billion a year investment in the nhs, and world—leading plans to improve children‘s health will help ensure every person can lead a long and healthy life."

i‘m feeling incredibly nervous because we have a big debate and vote in parliament today, but this has been a long journey, notjust in 2016 when i started to campaign on theissue 2016 when i started to campaign on the issue appear poverty, but for decades, for generations, women and girls have faced gender inequality around periods, where projects can be expensive and are not always accessible, so the campaign and the bill has been addressing poverty but making sure periods are normalised and the access to products is commonplace. apologies, that clip was in the wrong place, it was about another issue attracting attention today, and that is the news that the scottish parliament is set to back plans to tackle to poverty by making sanitary products available to all, free of charge. the legislation, put forward by labour msp monica lennon,

is likely to pass its first vote in holyrood later. she was speaking earlier to bbc brea kfast. tributes have been paid to the pioneering nasa mathematician katherine johnson, who died yesterday at the age of 101. she calculated rocket trajectories and earth orbits for nasa‘s early space missions and was portrayed in the 2016 oscar—nominated film hidden figures. the new york times has tweeted simply: "they asked katherine johnson for the moon, and she gave it to them." the former american president barack 0bama, who presented her with the presidential medal of freedom, said: "after a lifetime of reaching for the stars, today, katherinejohnson landed among them. she spent decades as a hidden figure, breaking barriers behind the scenes. but by the end of her life, she had become a hero to millions — including michelle and me." and the actor taraji p henson, who played katherinejohnson in hidden figures, honoured her in a tweet.

no surprise that pancake day is trending on twitter in the uk — shrove tuesday is the beginning of the 40 days leading into easter and marks the start of the christian festival of lent. 0ne commuter tweeted this photo of their journey this morningfrom st .ake station — with the caption happy pancake day —— saint pancake station. that‘s it for today‘s morning briefing. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here‘s holly. have you had yours yet? it is a

sensitive subject, i just love to bbc breakfast, they are all tucking in buti bbc breakfast, they are all tucking in but i have not had mine yet. lemon and sugar for me. liverpool are just four victories away from the premier league title. liverpool came very close to losing a premier league match for the first time this season last night. they had to come from behind to beat west ham 3—2 at anfield. despite taking an early lead, liverpool struggled and found themselves behind just before the hour mark when pablo fornals struck. but this mistake by lucas fabianski handed liverpool an equaliser and the incentive. sadio mane completed the comeback ten minutes from time to secure liverpool a record—equalling eighteenth consecutive league win. it is so special, the numbers are incredible, so difficult. we said a couple of times, we have spoken about brilliant games, hard games, difficult games, tonight was difficult. the number of wins you

can have if you win all of these games, the difficult ones, the easy ones, if there ever was one, the brilliant ones and the rougher and more grumpy ones. so that is how it is, and in the end, that is what counts. we all know it is very special. liverpool‘s win last night dominates the back pages today. sadio mane scored the winner last night — so ‘mane of the moment‘ is the telegraph‘s headline. he also appears on the back page of the times, which also carries a story about last night‘s bbc panorama documentary on mo farah. and there‘s mane in the mirror as well — they‘re also quoting anthonyjoshua‘s promoter eddie hearn on a potentialfight between him and tyson fury. more on that in a moment. and frank lampard‘s there too — looking ahead to chelsea‘s champions league tie against bayern munich tonight. that match is at eight o‘clock tonight — there‘s live commentary of that match on bbc radio 5 live and text commentary on the bbc

sport website and app. talks between the six ntions organisers and the rfu are taking place amid concerns over england‘s game against italy in rome next month, due to the spread of the coronavirus. a number of events have already been affected — including inter milan‘s europa league game against ludogorets which will be played behind closed doors on thursday. inter were one of four serie a teams to postpone their league games over the weekend. 0spreys and ulster‘s pro 14s matches in italy on saturday have also been postponed. kobe bryant‘s widow is suing the owner of the helicopter which crashed, killing her husband, teenage daughter and seven others. vanessa bryant was among thousands who attended a ceremony celebrating her husband‘s life in los angles last night. the event brought stars together to commemorate the lives of kobe and his daughter gianna at the la lakers staples arena where bryant spent most of his career. beyonce performed on stage —

arunoday mukharji in delhi. arunoday , i want to talk about the visit in a moment but firstly worsening violence, particularly in parts of delhi, about the citizenship law, and how is that impacting the visit? it could not have come at a worse time, at the time when the us president is visiting on his first official trip, these are the headlines coming out of the capital city of india, where in the north—eastern part that had been pitched battles between two groups. this was a protest against the citizenship law brought in by the engine government in december, there have been several protests against that by both the majority hindus and the minority muslims because it gra nts the minority muslims because it grants an understudy to minorities from neighbouring islamic nations, barring muslims. —— edge grants and amnesty. this has never been seen in delhi, the scale, leaving seven people dead, over 30 injured. delhi, the scale, leaving seven people dead, over30 injured. 0ur teams have been on the ground, on

the streets, sending eyewitness accou nts the streets, sending eyewitness a ccou nts of the streets, sending eyewitness accounts of mobs, both hindu and muslim, out on the streets, wielding sticks, setting buses and buildings on fire. the situation is very tense and delhi has not seen these protests in a very long time, and all of this at a time when the us president and prime minister and arranger modi were talking about democratic principles, tolerance and peace. —— and prime minister modi. what can we expect in terms of deals to be signed? we havejust what can we expect in terms of deals to be signed? we have just had a joint statement from the us president donald trump as well as prime minister modi, in which they thanked each other for cooperation, prejudice support and advanced cooperation in the field of defence and trade, but there still seems to bea and trade, but there still seems to be a lot of work left in the field of trade, donald trump said we have

made some progress but that is still to be seen on the ground transparent tangibles are concerned. the trade deficit is heavily tilted in favour of india, india want to export more to america, fundamental problems exist between both countries but it has been masked by the optics on this trip. arunoday mukharji in delhi, thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news... the government announces new advice for british nationals returning from italy — which now has the largest number of cases of coronavirus in europe. a new report says health inequalities in england have increased to a shocking degree over the past ten years. harvey weinstein‘s lawyers say they‘ll appeal against the hollywood producer‘s convictions for rape and sexual assault. back to our main story now, and the health secretary has told the bbc that uk residents returning

from areas in northern italy currently on lock—down because of coronavirus, and since febraury19th, should ‘self—isolate‘ and seek advice from the nhs. the outbreak is having serious implications for the economy too. our business correpsondent sean farrington sent this update from cello electronics in bishop auckland — a tv sound manufacturer which has cut its working week from five days to four because of the coronavirus. this is the first working day of the week here at cello electronic, starting the box packing early, everybody else will be up and running by atm. it should have started yesterday but they have lots of supplies coming from china, like these electronics which go into our tvs , these electronics which go into our tvs, that has had a knock—on effect on businesses. businesses are feeling the effects, the stock market is down more than 3% since yesterday. brian is the boss at cello electronic. just looking here,

you have all the stock piled high, what do you expect to happen to these given you have delays on the stuff you are getting in from china? we have parts, we keep out here, through this period, we are a british manufacturer manufacturing in the uk against perhaps in four competitors who import who received no stop in the next six weeks, i think we are in quite a nice position. ruc and customers saying, none, if you have a shortage need to buy these tvs? -- ruc on? we have already put out a list of our customers about what stock and parts we have, some models we are already out of stock. thank you, i will let you get back to it, it is a busy time. it is notjust importers like brian importing electronics, there are british businesses and universities, for example, who exploits goods and services tax to china. we will speak to somebody

from durham university business school. —— who exported goods and services to china. it will have some short—term and perhaps long—term impact on businesses. if you think about welby have said over the last few years, china is one of the most important markets in the world, we experience at the university, potentially having to think about the degree to which people would like to come and study here, for instance. so is the coronavirus becomes more of an issue and more people are hesitating to purchase, that will likely have an impact on the way... on exporting to china. do you think there will be a difference to how the long—term and medium effects will be, comparing importers to exporters? can one get sorted

quicker than the other? it is difficult. around here, people are stockpiling, getting ready to push the button to see what they will do. which one is likely to be affected the most? time will tell. the long—term effects of this,., globally, the effect on the chinese economy, is this something we will get back? are people holding off on travelling and they will do it later, or is it lost forever?” think it will be lost forever —— i don‘t think it will be. people will start travelling and buying the things they want to buy. they key things they want to buy. they key thing is how long it will last and how long people can wait before a longer term effect. what we are hearing now, chances are that the next few weeks, things will start to recover, but nobody knows this? the

workers here didn‘t had to be in yesterday, starting today on a four day week, the agency workers who might expect to work and be paid, they have not had that fifth day of work they would normally have, that is how these things start to have a ripple effect on the uk economy when you multiply that across the country. a 25—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after two bodies were found at an address in the west midlands. police said a 54—year—old man and a 52—year—old woman were found dead in the early hours of this morning in 0ldbury. the new "opt out" system for organ donation in england will be in place by may.

if i have known who he really was, he wouldn‘t have got through the front door and i certainly would not have had sex with him. i wouldn‘t have gone anywhere near him had i known he was a police officer, or that he was 32, or that he was married. it would just never have happened. three years agojessica saw andy coles step down as cambridgeshire‘s deputy police and crime commissioner because of the controversy. she believes he should now resign as a conservative councillor. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with simon king. hello, some of us had a pretty wintry scene yesterday with the snow falling across northern england and scotland, much has cleared away from the north—east of england but today we have had wintry showers moving in already, much of the snow is over
