hotel, you're on holiday in in the hotel, it is relatively easy for the authorities to put something like that on but if it'sjust people moving around their normal everyday life, over here, the advice is if you have been to one of these areas or showing symptoms, you need to self—isolate, that is a very different approach to the approach that china tech, china is a much more authoritarian state and was able to put cities in the lockdown. we would not see european governments do the same thing. a lot of trying to stop the virus i think it's probably only so much that can be done. but a lot of the attempts will focus on trying to get people to act responsibly. one line, saying back there are plans to ship public transport. and they held the boss in english think you need to look at school closures. —— shut down public transport. thus the western democracy across the world need to look at the way that china and some of those east asian countries have dealt with this in order to contain

it? perhaps up to a point. we did see some of the more brutal methods employed by the chinese authorities, i don't think western liberal democracies which stand for that. but enforcing closures or workplaces. i don't think anything can be rolled out. clearly if the expert advice if this is one waiver containing the virus are preventing it or spreading it, to other parts of the country, that is something that have to be considered. but then i guess the dangerous people see that type of thing and it after the sense of panic. there were concerns expressed by the public health community about that in china at the time which is that there is a danger that if you go too far with the lockdown ta ken be that if you go too far with the lockdown taken be unhelpful in kosice area about a font that we are not there yet which is say. laughter . guardian, confusion is the virus sweeps . guardian, confusion is the virus swee ps a cross . guardian, confusion is the virus sweeps across europe. talking about what is going on in spain. —— we are not there yet. one line i'm reading

from our website. take potentially two schools in lincolnshire might have closed with a potential connection and a cautionary measure to be virus. we will confirm that as soon to be virus. we will confirm that as soon as we can to be virus. we will confirm that as soon as we can of to be virus. we will confirm that as soon as we can of course, to be virus. we will confirm that as soon as we can of course, but these lines are coming in all the time now all over the world in here. absolutely. one of the things the guardian focuses on is the conflicting advice there was early in the date with chris whitty, the uk chief medical officer saying that it probably wasn't the right thing to say that people should and travel to say that people should and travel to these 11 italian cities in the north of italy that are in lockdown and matt hancock saying a bit like what i wouldn't exactly be making any plans to go there. but then we did see official government advice coming later in the day advising against all but essential travels specifically to those 11 italian cities. they started saving grace come obviously there's a lot of concern about this. the saving grace is that if you compare it to a virus

like sars, back in the mid to thousands, sars was seen to be less infectious from what we know but more deadly. and more dangerous to human life. were asked this virus seems to be particularly affecting come as a flu virus with it and indeed the symptoms are very similar, this virus seems to be affecting vulnerable people with depressed immune systems like older people who have already got issues with her health. that is no consolation, that doesn't take away all of the worry, but i think the government is right to be reinforcing to people that this is not going to be a deadly virus for most people. if you can trapped this, you may have mild symptoms and you will probably be ok. the financial times has a picture of the iranian deputy health minister who, the images has been so striking out they come a film that a press conference yesterday. so ironic i guess, the deputy health minister of

all people coming down with the virus and also i think the first time we probably seen somebody physically suffering with the symptoms. on television. and i suppose at the time, the outcome didn't get the significance of this fella constantly mopping his brow. —— the viewers didn't get the significance. and now obviously it all comes to light, that was why the quy all comes to light, that was why the guy was the case. now, at another example of how how dangerous this is. also by that picture it, what the ft is saying the united states signalled a change in tone and warning americans to prevent the virus and again, i'm reading cared that the democratic minority leader chuck schumer speaking in the senate has accused a trumpet ministration of failing to adequately prepare for it. -- i of failing to adequately prepare for it. —— i am reading care. —— trump administration. this is an election yearin administration. this is an election year in america. election still quite some time off but that is the type of thing trump could well do

without. .. the last type of thing trump could well do without... the last thing he wants is panic across the nation and accusations that his government didn't do enough to seize on the severity of this illness. talking of strong leaders, sangha, their financial times is talking about the economy and coronavirus but also the budget. -- sonya. yes. lucky us. the stuff that we are getting a trilogy of budgetary statements this year. -- it of budgetary statements this year. —— it sounds like we are getting. political journalist will —— it sounds like we are getting. politicaljournalist will be rubbing their hands and excitement but so we have got a new chancellor, he has beenin have got a new chancellor, he has been in the job for two weeks after sajid javid was essentially kind of forced out by all accounts. it is not looking great in terms of the forecast, so the independent abr has downgraded the growth forecast which makes it more difficult for the government when it comes to tax and spending. the government want to be spending. the government want to be spending a lot on infrastructure and

capital spending, but it certainly doesn't want to be cutting backjust after it is when an election. but yet, their great forecasts are not good, so what this ft piece is sort of highlighting is that we are probably going to see not too big a statement from sunak coming up and we will see both an auto budget, so a second budget and expending review later in the year. sol a second budget and expending review later in the year. so i like to look forward to if that is your kind of thing. i'm not sure if it is. either of ours. but it does show that all is not rosy for the government economically and that the story quotes the director of the institute for fiscal studies saying that the government would have to face up to the fact that we may need tax rises if you will spend more and actually the government is cutting taxes for businesses. cutting corporation tax to 70% which in my view is the wrong thing to do. but also a lot of speculation about what they might do

in terms of pension, raids and effectively punishing people that voted for them. we always get a lot of speculation i obliges. we've had this huge change anyway. yes. there was a suspicion that was put out as a way to brief against sajid javid. saying that he was planning to hammer tory voters, to maybe something to blow on moving. it says here that things like raising, that will be delayed until later in the year if it happens at all. pension contribution tax, that will not happen any more. i also told of a mansion tax, remarkable when you think about it. the chancellor looking to tax high value properties. that will not happen either. but also bringing back the coronavirus again as well as the economic forecast not being so great. the coronavirus will have an

economic impact obviously if it means that what places will have to close down. people will have to take time off of work if they kids are not going to school, all of these things added to the sense of uncertainty. i guess it makes sense, maybe this budget also adding into the fact he's only been chancellor for two weeks, this budget might be a lota for two weeks, this budget might be a lot a little bit light on detail and by the end of the year towards the autumn air will have a bit more. it sort of shows the difficulty of economic forecasting. liquid politics of course because if people thought they might be having an economic grant at the brexit effect this year, already events might be having a much bigger effect on what happens in the uk. yes. which either helps or hinders you depending on where you are politically? sangha mentioned that i don't know it will be in the forecast. that is virtually impossible. obviously, a

highly respected by but very difficult. difficult task for them. sticking with the politics, differences on the front page of the daily telegraph. the government are trailing that they will do a big review a combined review of defence spending, fara net review a combined review of defence spending, far a net spending and international development. obviously fix targets that are as a percentage of gdp for international development. what is the story behind that if they try and pull in different money? they have basically beena different money? they have basically been a lot of talk over the last fig years and months about the conservative view of international aid spending. in this meant a lot of that make they don't like it, a lot of noises about trying to make it more focus and cut it back and more through the foreign office and spend more on trade. and there's a lot of concern about that in the development community because part of the idea about international aid is is part of a moral responsibility asa is is part of a moral responsibility as a wealthy country that is made a

lot of money out of the empire in the last 100 years, but also actually it is is an important soft power source actually it is is an important soft power source to do aid right across the world and the more you focus it the world and the more you focus it the more you take your eye off of regions were actually could pose a security risk to the uk so that is both a moral case for in a bit of a self interest argument. very quickly, that would be a very big change, what it, for any government if they start to try and use money thatis if they start to try and use money that is supposed to be for aid for so that is supposed to be for aid for so overtly for things like this national interest? still on the one hand they would be able to say we are sticking to these o.7% gdp target, but that is a big but, the money wouldn't be spent in the same labour government previous to this. it would be more to further the uk's foreign policy interest rather than as are purely aid spending. around

the countries and countries that are very much in need. we will have more stories in the next hour. that's it for the papers this hour. sonia and kevin will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you kevin and sonia. don't go away. see them very soon. goodbye for now. hello there. it is cold and potentially icy overnight tonight. we have seen the showers folly to sleet and snow, low levels actually already. as we head into tomorrow, it will remain quite chilly and probably into wednesday as well. if you were winter showers to come. we

change the winter miles to a west northwesterly a nd change the winter miles to a west northwesterly and cold air sweeping down across the whole of the country in the armour showers to come tomorrow. we have seen quite a few showers are ready actually come and some showers are ready actually come and some wet roads showers are ready actually come and some wet roads are showers are ready actually come and some wet roads are out there in the showers pushing through the midlands towards the southeast and east anglia for a while and they will tend to dive back towards western areas overnight. and there will be in around from many places, particularly in rural areas, down to -6 particularly in rural areas, down to —6 last night and everything should could be again tonight. icy conditions especially in the northwest. —— aberdeen sure. fewer showers could head towards the midlands, eastern england, when troupe went into eastern scotland, but not as many showers as we have seen but not as many showers as we have seen today. mostly showers in the afternoon and scotland, temperatures five to 9 degrees, there will be a chilly wind blowing, probably a bit stronger and scotland then west today and this is what will feel like what's up the winds will not be stronger in the southwest of england. here we will start to see changes during the evening. this area of low pressure weather front

bringing some rain in across other parts of england and wales, hitting the cold air and maybe some snow over the cold air and maybe some snow over the brecon beacons. perhaps a centimetre or two. and that cold wet weather still around in the southeast of england on thursday morning, most of the morning it will click away and into that northwesterly chilly air stream, some northwesterly chilly air stream, some sunshine around, showers continue mainly in the northwest of scotla nd continue mainly in the northwest of scotland and northern ireland and a few heading into the northwest of england was still a cold day and temperatures around six, 7 degrees and typically. heading into the end of the week, things will start to change, but what this ridge of high pressure if you heading into the northwest of england was still a cold day in temperatures around six, 7 degrees and typically. heading into the end of the week, things will start to change, but with this ridge of high pressure and fewer showers, friday will start cold and frosty, then we have these weather fronts moving a bit further north this time across the uk. clouds come out bricks of rain coming in on friday. maybe a bit of snow over the hills and that will be the story into the weekend. heavy rain overnight into saturday. that will be accompanied by strong winds and then back to cooler air, sunshine or

showers, wintry, before we get another span of rain on sunday and we may make double figures across other parts of england and wales. on the whole, if you have seen the ten day forecast and the weather for the ahead, you will know that we will stay in this cold air into next week but all of the details can be found online.
