was of this after in 2018 when he was cleared of affray. stokes tends not to think about things in terms of personal redemption but it is perfectly possible to perceive it in that way. he was happy to pose for pictures. he did not give interviews and it is always up to an individual to make that judgment and it is always up to an individual to make thatjudgment after the ceremonies. i know stokes often feels embarrassed when he is part of a team sport. jos buttler was also here today, part of the winning team. 0ne here today, part of the winning team. one thing stokes will be aware of is that 2020 is a big year in a way for english cricket. they are launching a new domestic competition designed to get a new generation of fans. they want to become the best test tea m fans. they want to become the best test team in the world and england would love to when the world cup later in the year. is all of that feasible? we know, with ben stokes we re feasible? we know, with ben stokes were just about anything is

possible. as promised, we will turn oui’ possible. as promised, we will turn our attentions to the weather. more rain in the forecast by the end of the week and into the weekend. at the moment we're sat in pretty cold airand a the moment we're sat in pretty cold air and a showery weather regime. wintry showers to come, particularly across the hills in the north and west but not always exclusively. the risk of hail as well. a light covering recently on the hills. the radar shows me where their weight me is. -- radar shows me where their weight me is. —— the white behind me is. the showers will gradually migrate further eastwards. this afternoon still some heavy ones with the risk of hailand still some heavy ones with the risk of hail and thunder. some showers in the north of england and east anglia. temperatures, on the

thermometer, six, 7 degrees. factor in the wind and for many it is feeling close to freezing. more showers through the evening and overnight pretending to clear in the east by the end of the night. they will continue in the west. eight centimetres of snow on the higher ground. a covering elsewhere. show as possible just about anywhere. wednesday another cold day to come. by wednesday another cold day to come. by the afternoon, and largely try a picture. again, a pretty chilly day. —— dryer picture. wednesday night into thursday, i will be honest we don't know where the area of low pressure will go. the northernmost extent is the biggest headache for the biggest headache. there could be rain into the midlands. shrewsbury and ironbridge on critical alert at

the moment. it looks like it will pull off into the continent allowing dry weather to following on behind, keeping the rainfall totals down. showery as we look further north. it is the weather chart for the end of the week and into the weekend which is not looking too pretty. more low pressure coming in from the atlantic with further bands of rain and strong winds with the threat of hill snow on friday and into saturday. probably the quietest day of the next view is that thursday. into the weekend, more challenging conditions. a reminder of our top story... as the number of cases of coronavirus reaches 80,000, people returning from northern italy are warned to self—isolate if they have flu—like symptoms.

good afternoon. i'm ben croucher with an update from the bbc sport centre. tyson fury has arrived back in manchester following his heavyweight title win over deyontay wilder on sunday. hundreds of fans gathered to greet him after he became world champion for the first time since 2015 with the seventh—round win in las vegas. wilder says he intends to exercise a rematch clause to try to win the belt back but if that doesn't happen, could we finally see fury fighting anthony joshua, a bout that would see all four heavyweight belts on line the line. here's joshua's promoter eddie hearn. from our point of view, the fight we want more than anything is the undisputed fight. the person that holds the key to that is tyson fury. if we can get that next, we are absolutely all in on the fight.

coronavirus concerns. cransley school in great budworth, cheshire, has closed down after 29 pupils and five members of staff went on a trip to an affected area of italy in half—term. brine leas school, also in cheshire, has sent a group of children and staff home after they recently returned from a skiing trip to italy. there are many strands to this developing story. many countries reporting their first case of coronavirus. a big knock on for the aviation industry, so much more on all of that after two o'clock. 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.

was being made on trade, energy and military deals. mr trump's visit is his first official trip to india, one of the us‘ most important trade partners. but donald's trumps visit has been overshadowed by increasingly violent clashes over a controversial new citizenship law, that critics say discriminates against muslims. seven people have died during riots in delhi, our correspondent yogita limaye has been to the scene of the latest clashes, and has sent this update. this is a tyre factory that has been set on fire. most of the shops here were owned by muslims, and we've seen other signs of arson while we've been on the road today as well. what we've also seen are violent mobs carrying sticks and stones, and they were chanting "hail lord ram", which is a hindu religious cry that has come to be

associated with hindu lynch mobs. now, we have been in the hindu dominated areas today, so we've not been able yet to go to the muslim dominated side to see what is going on there. the people living here are telling us that people living in the muslim dominated areas have been throwing stones and even shooting bullets at them. this all started over india's controversial citizenship law. there was a group of people, mostly muslims, protesting against the law that many critics see as anti—muslim. there was a group of people, mostly hindu, who were supporting the law. but the clashes that broke out between the two groups have increasingly become communal, and what we are seeing on the ground today very much looks like a religious rite. like a religious riot. people from both communities have

been killed and have been injured in these violent clashes. and uncomfortable questions being raised for the government, really, because where we saw violent mobs of men, there were just two policeman, so questions about whether the government has deployed enough police to break the cycle of violence which has been going on for two days now. and all of this happening not ten miles away from where president trump is in the country. spanish opera singer, placido domingo, has apologised and says he accepts full responsibility following accusations of sexual harassment made against him. last year multiple women accused the singer of sexual harassment, with some of the allegations dating back to the 1980s. in response, he resigned from the los angeles opera company and cancelled a series of shows. a 25—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after two bodies were found at an address in the west midlands this morning. 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. they said their initial investigations have led them to believe it is

a domestic related incident. police in germany are trying to work out what motivated a man who rammed a car into a crowd of people at a carnival parade. it happened in a small town called volkmarsen, in the same region where nine people were killed last week by a far—right gunman. sylvie lennan—spence reports. what should have been a peaceful and fun celebration quickly turned into chaos. the driver of this car, a 29—year—old man, steered his vehicle into a street, with crowds of people in his sights. translation: he drove with full speed into the crowd. my feeling was he even accelerated. people fell down like paper. there were a few seconds of silence and then everybody screamed. balloons and carnival decorations scatter the ground, a chilling reminder that many of the victims were young children. translation: my classmate was driven into. his foot is injured

and he has concussion. in a town ofjust 7000 people, this type of attack is unprecedented. it triggered a full—scale emergency response. but police have urged everyone to remain calm. translation: we don't think this was a terrorist attack, but it can be assumed that it was intentional. the interrogations are ongoing, and until then we can't say anything about the motive. there are growing concerns about a rise in hate crime in germany. last week in a town less than three hours' drive away, a far right extremist shot and killed nine people at a bar. police don't think there's a link between the two incidents, but admit it's another sad day for germany. sylvia lennan—spence, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... as the global number of corona—virus cases tops 80,000 —

people returning to the uk from northern italy are warned to self—isolate if they have flu—like symptoms. life expectancy among some groups of women has fallen, for the first time in a century — according to a damning new report. the inquiry into child sex abuse at westminster says high profile politicians like sir cyril smith were protected, and a blind eye was turned to abuse allegations. more now on our top story — the coronavirus and the outbreak is having serious implications for the economy. our business corresopondent sean farrington is at one factory in bishop auckland that's had to 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 electronics.

they have started the box packing early. but they should have been up and running yesterday. they have a lot of supplies coming from china, like a lot of these electronics that go into our tvs. it is having a knock—on effects on the business. the stock market is down more than 3%. we will have a chat to the boss here at cello electronics. you have all the stocks you have got piled high, what are you expecting now to happen to these, given that you have got delays on all the stuff you are getting in from china? we have got parts so we keep parts here. through this period we are a british manufacturer, manufacturing in the uk. against some of our competitors who import everying in. customers will be saying, if you have a shortage,

we will have to buy more tvs of you? we have 25 different models that we make and we have got a list out to our customers to let them know what stock we have got and what parts we have got on some models we are already out of stock. it is notjust importers like brian having to import these electronics, a lot of british businesses, universities as well, who export services and all kinds of goods to china. we will talk to christos from durham university business school. we have talked about imports, but what about exports from the uk to china, are you seeing changes going on because of the virus? it is likely to have some sort of impact on businesses on exports to china as well. china is one of the most important markets in the world. we also experience at the university as well, potentially a lot of students that might be coming our way, but hesitating about thinking about coming

to study here, for instance. more people are hesitating to purchase in businesses or invest and so on and that is likely to have an impact on exporting to china as well. do you think there will be a difference to how the long term, medium term and fx will be comparing exporters to importers? can one get sorted quicker than the other? it is a difficult want to sort. around here, people are stockpiling. people are getting ready to push the button to see what to do. which one is likely to be affected the most? time will tell. interesting. finally, the long—term effects of this globally, the effect on china's economy, is it something we will get back, is just people are holding off on their travelling and they will do it at a later date, do the spending at a later date, or will it be lost for ever? i don't think it will be lost for ever.

people will start to buy the things they like to buy and so on. the key thing is how long will this last and how long people can wait. where we are now, chances are the next few weeks things are going to start to recover, but nobody knows it yet. thank you forjoining us this morning. the workers here didn't have to be in yesterday, starting today on a four—day week. the agency workers who would be expecting to working and be paid, they have not had the extra day's work. that is how these start to have a ripple effect on the uk economy when you multiply it acaross the country. the new "opt out" system for organ donation in england will be in place by may.

it means all adults will be presumed to have given consent to donate their organs after death, unless they have specifically said they don't want to. doctors say it will give hundreds more people access to life—saving transplants. legislation which will make scotland the first country in the world to make period products freely available to everyone is expected to pass its first hurdle today. schools and colleges already provide the products at no cost, but now the scottish parliament is voting on whether to make them free for anybody who needs them. suzanne allan has the details. period poverty means girls can't afford to buy sanitary products. it means girls might have to use other products like tissues and socks. it means some girls are afraid to come to school and don't want to leave the house at all. these are the pads we get sent to the school, probably about every month or so in these boxes. these girls are telling a first—year class about the free products in the toilets. most women and girls get periods that last on average five days a month, so it can cost around £5—£8 in sanitary products every time.

definitely more people are staying off school due to not having protection. i wasn't really aware of it because i didn't personally know anyone that had to deal with this. but finding out how many people even in my school, i was very, like, shocked at how many people were staying. we started off with all the period products and we put them in all the toilets so everyone had them. we had no complaints or anything and it worked really well. today, a bill to make period products available free of charge to all women and girls will be introduced in the scottish parliament. the government wasn't going to back it over concerns that it was too expensive but changed its mind. and it is seen as a necessity, not a luxury. it is a right that every women should have, to access free sanitary products. it's not like it's a luxury item or anything, we need them. it makes me feel very good because i know that there are people who have been helped and people who can come to school with no worries. there have been scottish government schemes for free products before, but this bill, when it passes,

will make it law. suzanne allan, bbc news. a humpback whale has been rescued from illegalfishing nets in mexico's upper sea of cortes. the conservation group sea shepherd says the nets are used by poachers to catch endangered fish species which are popular on the black market. freya cole reports. wrapped and tangled, this humpback whale swam into a vicious trap. conservation activists from sea shepherd spotted the gentle giant while on the lookout for poachers off the coast of mexico. as we were guarding the critical zone, the refuge, we found a humpback whale badly trapped in an illegal net. they managed to catch up to the whale and worked to cut the netting. this type of gillnet is used to catch totoaba, an endangered species of marine fish sought by chinese buyers on the black market. it's a sad reminder of why

it is so important for us to protect the refuge against illegal fishing. after hours of persistence, they managed to free the whale ever so slightly, by removing the net from its mouth. but sadly for now, it still has a reminder on its tail. freya cole, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. good afternoon. actually feel to proceedings over the next couple of days. consequently with the cold air around the showers will turn wintry. not exclusively across high ground. we could see hail where the showers get lively and mixed covering here recently in wales. this is our shower distribution for this afternoon. heavy ones for wales and

the south—west of england, strong winds here and along the south coast. tracking eastwards later in the afternoon and there will be showers across the north west england pushing through into the midlands and east anglia. in terms of the temperatures, it is more about how it will feel. factor in the wind and for many it is close to freezing this afternoon, even with some sunshine. more showers this evening, heavy ones working into eastern england. they will fizzle out later in the night but they continue to track further west and some significant accumulations possible particularly for the mountains of wales and across western scotland. ice is a risk a nyway western scotland. ice is a risk anyway first thing on wednesday as we see a frost developing. showers around for england and wales on wednesday morning but they will ease throughout the day but they will keep on coming for scotland and northern ireland. another chilly day with highs in the face of it, six or seven but closer to two or three.

eyes are drawn from wednesday night into thursday. the model is struggling to place this area of low pressure a cross struggling to place this area of low pressure across northern europe. it could run further north and make wetter weather across southern britain throughout the day on thursday and some snow on the northern edge of the system. thinking it may pull off into the continent on thursday daytime leaving sunshine behind for england and wales. showers feeding into scotla nd and wales. showers feeding into scotland and northern ireland. temperatures on thursday, very similarto temperatures on thursday, very similar to today, around six or 7 degrees. then we look to friday on the weekend and it is another big area of low pressure set to dominate our weather. the detail will vary a little, i think, our weather. the detail will vary a little, ithink, by our weather. the detail will vary a little, i think, by the time we get to the actual days but the things i can tell you is for friday and the weekend, once again we are facing further wet weather, risk of flooding and it will be windy. and a continuous risk of hill snow.
