studio 46, this is cbs news... concern over coi'icussioi'is studio 46, this is cbs news... concern over concussions is leading to some changes in how children play soccer. to some changes in how children play soccer. it followed a legal action from a group of players and parents concerned about concussion and long—term head trauma. they took on the might of the us soccer federation and one. they didn't win cash, though, they one change. so, as of 2015 here, kids aged ten and under have not been allowed to head the ball in practice or during games. kids 11 to 13 have restrictions on the amount of times they can head the ball during training. but we are off north of san francisco to meet some people instrumental in bringing about change here. keira from fairfax, california, was one of them. the

scottish fa now, banning headers, it is based off of our case and that's really cool. it's going to have a lot of long—term consequences down the line and worried about what mine might be, i get migraines because of the concussions that i've had and i just wanted to protect other young people from having those same in packs in the future. there is, of course, is a sports mad country but it also has a reputation for being quick to sue. there is behind me is oracle park baseball stadium, home of the san francisco giants. at the moment, there are numerous class action is outstanding. it is just the norm here. so with regards to football, or soccer, was itjust a case of it being the perfect storm? chris, nice to see you, welcome. this is the lawyer who led the case and changed things here forever. as and changed things here forever. as a coach for over 30 years, with two daughters that played competitive

football, i saw so many episodes of young footballers getting hurt and suffering head injuries and, at one point, ijust decided that enough was enough. this age group hasjust been allowed to start heading the ball. in a game, when you kick it really ha rd, ball. in a game, when you kick it really hard, like a corner, it is scary because if you hit it with the wrong part of your head, then you could get all dizzy. it will make me feel like a better soccer player, because a lot of professionals do it andi because a lot of professionals do it and i really wanted to learn how to do it. so you have been coaching pre—2015. was it tricky? do it. so you have been coaching pre-2015. was it tricky? yes, because i grew up heading the ball and being told to be brave and throw my head into all kinds of situations and so now, to tell the players, dog and so now, to tell the players, dog and don't head the ball because you will be giving away a free kick, it isa will be giving away a free kick, it is a different way to coach the

game. there is absolutely no doubt that the change started right here in california. jumped or pushed, it doesn't really matter, it's all about the knock—on effect. five yea rs about the knock—on effect. five years after the first ban, it's now been adopted in scotland. chris mclaughlin, bbc news, san francisco. through the years, there have been some very questionable attempts to create statues in honour of football superstar cristiano ronaldo. the latest is from portuguese chocolatierjorge cardoso and is made entirely of chocolate. here it is. it took cardoso around 200 hours to create the sculpture, which is being exihibited in ovar, in northern portugal, as part of their carnival celebrations before going in cristiano ronaldo's own museum in madeira. his own well refrigerated museum, i should hope. that's all we've time for. 5 live sport is just kicking into life now too. jane dougall will have the news on that game at stamford bridge

and the rest of the news in sportsday just before 10:30pm. dojoin her then. bye for now. hello, this is bbc news. fears of a pandemic continue to increase, as the government issues new guidance for people returning to the uk from parts of italy affected by coronavirus. let's take a look at the latest figures worldwide. global cases of the virus have passed 80,000 — the vast majority of those being in china. italy is currently the worst affected country in europe, with over 280 confirmed cases. and in the last few minutes, it's been confirmed that 10 of those have died. in iran, 15 people have died and 95 people have been infected with the virus, including the country's deputy health minister. and south korea's president warned the situation was "very grave", as the number of confirmed cases

rose to 893. i'm joined now by catherine morpeth, a british expat who lives and works in milan. catherine, thanks for joining catherine, thanks forjoining us, just tell us what you do and how have you been affected by this? hi, i'm actually an english foreign language teacher in milan and i haven't been directly affected by it in terms of being this sick or anything, but the whole city seems to be ona anything, but the whole city seems to be on a bit ofa anything, but the whole city seems to be on a bit of a lockdown, sol suppose i might have some problems coming back to england, may be. and do you teach adults, but has the school been closed ? do you teach adults, but has the school been closed? yes and i teach also in the public sector and they we re also in the public sector and they were planning to be closed from the weekend but, on monday, there was a bit of a complicated situation

because no one really knew what was happening with the private schools and at the one that i was working for on monday, they opened as usual and then they were shut down in the middle of the day, so it was quite up middle of the day, so it was quite up in the air what was really happening. and what is it like in the city? are people moving around? half of the people, yeah. i've been out a few times because i walk my dog and half of the city is wearing masks and the other half are either not around or they are at home or at work. so it is definitely, the dynamic is is it a little bit of a ghost town, there are still people out and about, for sure. and how long have you been told you have got to stay indoors? for now, it is until march the 2nd, so just one week and then we are going to figure out what is happening next but i think everything is happening on a daily basis for now. so they have

done the full week for a lot of the public spaces but everything after that, we don't know what is going to happen, especially with the schools. and what about supplies of food and other essentials? well, this is where we see the difference between rational caution and a bit of irrational hype. there has been kind ofa irrational hype. there has been kind of a clear out of all the stores, so the equivalent of the sainsbury‘s in italy has been completely cleared out and i don't really know why, because they are still open, so not really sure what is going on.“ because they are still open, so not really sure what is going on. if you have also been outside of milan into a small town, i gather. where did you go and what was that like?” went to visit a friend who just came over from brazil went to visit a friend who just came overfrom brazilfor a went to visit a friend who just came over from brazil for a couple went to visit a friend who just came overfrom brazilfor a couple of weeks, but i'm not really sure what her situation's going to be no aid. we went to see her for a dinner and we just found out there is a case

there. so it is completely new information but it is a little bit worrying. and is there any information as to why italy has got s0 information as to why italy has got so many cases? no, i think that is the biggest fear, is that it's com pletely the biggest fear, is that it's completely unknown, there is no patient zero right now, so i think that fear has kind of escalated very, very fast because of that. we don't have any idea, because the patients that have been confirmed don't have any direct contact with the country that is already inflicted with the virus. is your sense that the health system could cope if the numbers to keep going 7 cope if the numbers to keep going up? i can't cope if the numbers to keep going 't say cope if the numbers to keep going up? i can't say that they will be able to build a hospital in six days, but they are very pre—emptive with help back at a later health, so the positives are that they have

been prepared for this for some time —— pre—emptive with health. so they may not have the numbers was space in hospitals, that is unknown, it depends on how many cases they will end up being. some people are in isolation at home so right now, it isolation at home so right now, it is not a problem but i'm not sure in the future because there are so many cases happening so fast, then perhaps it could be an issue. very quickly, do you think flights should be stopped from italy to england, or italy anywhere else? well, i'm a bit biased because i would quite like to come home! i think right now, as long as we are being tested at the airport, which i think has been happening for a while now anyway, then i wouldn't say there's a big problem, but i do understand why it could be a good idea. very good of you to speak to us, thanks very much for your time and you to speak to us, thanks very much foryourtime and! you to speak to us, thanks very much for your time and i hope you stay well, of course. catherine morpeth. let's have a look at the weather

110w. some subtle differences as we look at wednesday, spells between show should become further and fewer in between, into the small hours of wednesday, the risk of eye is just about anywhere on wednesday after the widespread frost develops but with the most frequent showers to the north and west of the uk, accumulations in the hills and mountains are verb to perhaps eight centimetres as possible and this will be the focus point for our showers as we look at wednesday as well. those across northern england and wales tending to fizzle out across the afternoon, some widespread sunshine and further north, vacant shares were northern ireland, northern and western scotland. chilly day, but you must factor in the wind and that for the northern half of the uk will mean it feels closer to freezing.

you're watching beyond 100 days. the white house briefs the senate on plans to tackle the coronavirus. one senator says he's appalled by the lack of preparations. as the virus spreads around the world, hopes that america could contain it are dimming. the president will ask congress for $2.5 billion extra to tackle the outbreak, but senators say the american public needs to hear the full story. harvey's weinstein guilty verdict did more than send him to jail — it changed america's understanding of sexual assault. also on the programme: the eu's member states agree a mandate for post—brexit trade talks with the uk.
