6:39 am
and you strike the pad! today, ellie's school one, that is a work of art. very friends and her cousin are being given theirfirst lesson. yeah, there you go, well done. impressive. i wonder how you sort this is what they want to see rolled out melting temperature is for that out across the country sort of chocolate. i'm not worried in ellie's name. there's so much laughter here and ijust can't imagine what's about that, who gets to eat it? going through your head. someone has to it. —— eat it. wow, it's quite nice to see the girls, because these are girls from the sixth form, it'sjust, you know, such useful skills they are learning. it's wonderful, really. about that, who gets to eat it? someone has to it. -- eat it. if anyone could, ronaldo could. good switch over if you haven't already. their best friend's killer was theirfriend. job. rinaldo is great, isn't he? griffiths texted tilda after he killed ellie, saying he'd been self—harming, to cover himself up very good. his own injuries. speaking of food... eleanor is the friend he'd messaged is there a place for the likes of frankie & benny's and chiquito pretending to be ellie, asking her not to drive on our retail parks? their owners aren't overly convinced. over and pick her up. sean has more on the competitive it works — itjust slides out. yeah. casual dining sector. these skills can't help their friend, but they would like them to help others. that's it — harder. it is also called the casual dining you don't want to do this to make people fearful? sector. good morning to you. we have i think it's important that we do make something positive out of this
6:40 am
really horrible situation. talked about this kind of squeeze before, but the company that owns ellie was such a positive person, all of these chains is called the so it makes sense to do something positive in response. i'm stepping back with my outside leg. restau ra nt all of these chains is called the restaurant group — you don't see the department of education say that around the country too often they have no plans to make this mandatory, but schools do but it does own and operate 650 have the flexibility to do this, if they want to. restau ra nts a nd but it does own and operate 650 restaurants and pubs up and down the that's a decision carol will fight. country. you never know when this could apply to you, you could be mugged. and you'll recognise these as being on the same retail parks most people panic in as your favourite bowling alleys a situation like that. but if you just have this knowledge and cinemas, or where you go in the back of your head, shopping — so we're talking the likes of garfunkel‘s, it could just kick in chiquito, coast to coast and frankie & benny's. and you could get yourself away. now, back in september, we were given a good idea how important is it for you to have of the company's health. this positive, lasting legacy for ellie? they said they were losing nearly £90 million in the first month of it would mean a lot to us as a family. the year and it would close more and if it could save just one life, than 80 of those restaurants like frankie & benny's. it's got to be worth it. and change some wagamamas — one place that has done well for them. so what do we want when it is great to see a scheme put into we go out for a bite? i have an is now in five years. i've place. 0bviously it is great to see a scheme put into place. obviously a horrible tragedy but something good coming from it. only been there once or twice in my such a sad story but good to see

7:07 am
speaker make some very good points. here yesterday, people were very 0ne speaker make some very good points. one of them being, you have to have much looking forward to the holiday and they won't put off by it. you beenin one of them being, you have to have been in close contact. there is no reason to be panicking at this stage get a sense that the message also is being put out my look, you know, orany reason to be panicking at this stage or any stage, actually. that is very this is contained and people should helpful advice, talking about proximity. from your perspective, be coming to the island as planned. how much more widespread does this need to become before it becomes a when you arrive at the airport, pandemic? we talk about a pandemic though, there will be staffed there that have facemasks. people taking to describe what's going on. when we talk about a pandemic we mean that people to and from the hotel, taxi we have outbreaks in all parts of drivers, bus drivers, that kind of the globe. but notjust outbreaks, thing, they all know the situation here. tour operators are getting the we are talking about sustained message out but certainly the community transmission. as you are message out but certainly the message that is coming from this very effectively reporting, there pa rt message that is coming from this part of the island is that it is have been cases reported in many business as normal and that this is countries around the world, but remember, these are cases as people being contained here and this hotel arriving in the country and they is showing very clearly with this have not shown onwards transmission. this is what we have seen in the uk at the moment. we have seen good police gordon and emergency measures taking place. inside, they believe work from the health board and the
7:08 am
they are dealing with it community. people are saying they efficiently. fiona, thank you. the are travelling, they are not feeling fiona trott live in tenerife for us this morning. and if you are sending well and they are identifying themselves as perhaps being a case. us this morning. and if you are sending us questions this morning about that means we are identifying people potential trips to various parts of where there have been outbreaks, we very early and there is a good chance of stopping onwards spread. will put those questions to public the issues are when things slip health england and the world health through the net i suppose. we have organization later on. and the largest outbreak country is italy. suggestions from our reporter in milan who reports that the italian let's speak now to our correspondent prime minister has suggested that a bethany bell who's in milan. hospital in the infected area what are authorities doing there to perhaps didn't properly go through try to contain this outbreak? they their infection control procedures. have done a number of things. sounds it's when we see those links in the chain, if you like, where there are in little hotspots just south—east issues there, that problem can cause repercussions not just of milan, where i am now —— towns, issues there, that problem can cause repercussions notjust in that country but elsewhere as well. yes, those have been put in quarantine. that's affecting up to 50,000 not being aware you potentially have a case of the illness can be a people, told to stay at home. in the problem. in hospitals particularly, region generally schools and universities have been shut down and especially if you have a lung even places behind me like the infection or symptoms in your lungs, some of these treatments you would duomo, the cathedral here in milan, use to help somebody with their
7:09 am
a major tourist place, they have been shut down, again for trying not breathing could increase the spread. so all hospitals have to be on high to get too much spreading of this alert that if somebody comes in with disease. now, on the other hand, italy's prime minister, just happy respiratory illness or symptoms of conti, has warned people not to pneumonia, they must be checked for panic. he said italy is safe to visit and they are taking these coronavirus first. we do thank you for practical advice, and we thank measuresjust to contain visit and they are taking these public health england as well. we measures just to contain the spread of the disease —— prime minister giuseppe conte but there is concern, are getting some questions about health minister is from italy's facemasks. we are getting good information about the proximity element of coronavirus. lots of neighbouring countries met in rome and said they would not close the 01:09:32,152 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 borders and share viewers are asking whether they should buy facemasks. we have seen people in other countries where them. what is your take? using a face mask is to protect other people from you if you are coughing and sneezing. people mistakenly think that somehow i face mask has mysterious powers to protect you. that's not the case. if you use a face mask correctly, you will use it for a short time, but once the front
7:10 am
of it becomes wet then you are in danger, if you touch the front of it, of transferring whatever bugs you are coughing and just breathing out onto your hand, and then if you touch any surfaces or another person then you are likely to transfer that. so if you are not using a face mask correctly it could, in the worst ci rcu msta nces mask correctly it could, in the worst circumstances be a means of spreading the infection. so we don't advise people to use facemasks u nless advise people to use facemasks unless they are coughing and sneezing and have a runny noses. but with the coronavirus the runny noses not a major symptom, only about 5% of people have that symptom. most people go from feeling terrible, flu—like symptoms, feeling exhausted and muscle aching. then they go into the respiratory phase because it goes into the lungs quite rapidly. that is what public health england are telling us as well. so it's the coughing, fever and the shortness of
7:11 am
breath, those the three symptoms they have been speaking about as well. good to speak to you this morning, a coronavirus expert from the world health organization. tenerife and italy are two of the most popular destinations for winter sun and snow seekers, so what options are available to holidaymakers due to travel to those destinations in the coming days? let's speak now to victoria bacon from the travel agents' association, abta. good morning to you. what are the options for people planning to travel? as we have heard this morning the advisory against travel is specifically in place for small towns in northern italy, those ten small towns. it is not in place for tenerife, the ca nary small towns. it is not in place for tenerife, the canary islands or the rest of northern italy or the whole of italy. keep an eye on foreign office advice. it's those ten small towns in northern italy specifically, they are not really tourist areas anyway. certainly they
7:12 am
are not in skiing areas and if you look in lombardy, only milan in that pa rt look in lombardy, only milan in that part of the region is a tourist area. and that is not in the zone the foreign office is advising against travelling to. at the moment it is very much, continue with travel plans. keep in contact with your travel providers, keep an ion the news and foreign office advice. for people choosing not to travel, and looking at people who perhaps have an underlying health condition or have travel plans with elderly relatives, what is the advice for them? desir disinclination to travel, where people think if they are not sure. legally you do not have the same rights in terms of what that means around your holidays. if you have an underlying medical condition, which is causing concern, then it might be worth having a conversation with your travel insurance provider. but it's very important, the distinction between, the foreign office has come
7:13 am
out clearly to say it is a very limited area where there are travel restrictions in place. if you are travelling somewhere else other than those areas, then the advice stands that it those areas, then the advice stands thatitis those areas, then the advice stands that it is ok to travel to those destinations and you can travel confidently. for people stuck in this hotel in tenerife, what's your advice to them? they are now being told they will have to stay in their rooms for the next 14 days so they will miss their flight home, so how do they get home and who pays for that? it's important those tourists follow the advice of the hotel and stay with that, even though we appreciate it is very distressing. in terms of getting home, they will be looked after. if they are on a package holiday they will absolutely be brought home. i think most people in that hotel, certainly uk citizens, will be on a package holiday. if not then you have to talk to your flight provider when you leave the hotel. director of
7:14 am
brand and business development at abta, thank you. as we've been hearing, hundreds of holidaymakers staying at a hotel in tenerife have been placed in lockdown. it comes after four cases of coronavirus were confirmed at the complex. a number of brits are among those quarantined at the h10 costa adeje palace hotel. let's speak to one of them now, nigel scotland. we appreciate you speaking to us on the phone this morning. give us an idea of what it's like at the hotel at the moment. when we were told about the quarantine? yesterday at about the quarantine? yesterday at about lunchtime. we knew something was up when we got up for breakfast because for the first time we saw waiters and waitresses wearing facemasks and that hadn't happened before so the breakfast was limited. at 12 o'clock we were told to go to our rooms and stay there. after which we were visited by medical officials. what sort of advice have
7:15 am
you been given while you are in your room? have you been communicated with about what is happening?” would have to say the communication has been limited, but we did receive a visit from the doctors who took our temperatures and explained it is important we stay in our rooms now in quarantine. we have each been given a thermometer and we have to ta ke given a thermometer and we have to take our temperatures every day at eight o'clock in the morning and six o'clock in the evening. if we have flu—like symptoms we have to report them to reception. and how are you feeling? our temperatures are fine. we are fit at the moment was that we are still feeling a bit trapped. we can look out of a window, and fortu nately we can look out of a window, and fortunately we have a balcony. we can see the police and the barriers outside. it seems like the hotel
7:16 am
staff are also confined to the premises as well. we see them sometimes sitting down below the balcony that looks over the area. sometimes sitting down below the balcony that looks over the aream it worrying, are you concerned?” think we feel a little bit trapped here. we only brought one or two books so we could do with something to read. we can get television and can see you on television each day so can see you on television each day so that something! so we are fit people who do a lot of walking and play squash and things like that so we feel a bit restricted in that way. we are trying our best to keep you entertained and informed this morning. can i ask you a question? does the government have a duty of ca re does the government have a duty of care to get us home? we were wondering also if, when we get back, we would be required to do another two weeks self quarantine when we get back? that is a very good
7:17 am
question. we had the health secretary on yesterday and we will try to get you an answer. i don't know if we will be able to get it while we are on air this morning but we will do our best stop there will be many people probably asking themselves a similar question. thank you to nigel in that hotel in tenerife and asking the same question you would ask if you were there. that's the question i asked our abta representative and the first port of call is to go back to your tour operator and see what happens from there. that is part of an answer for nigel, happens from there. that is part of an answerfor nigel, so happens from there. that is part of an answer for nigel, so we will see if we can get more later this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. it's been a rather cold start to the day. there's been some wintry showers throughout the night and they've come in on that north westerly wind. the speckled cloud there on the satellite picture shows those showers out towards the west, though we're keeping a close eye
7:18 am
on that area of cloud that moves its way in later today and through tonight. for the rest of today, some wintry showers. fewer and further between into the afternoon. lengthy sunny spells, with hail, sleet and snow in those showers when they come by. maximum temperature is about 6—8. through tonight, we will see rain spreading its way in uncertainly anywhere south of the m4 corridor will be rain but as it bumps into cold air further north across wales, the midlands and northern england, there could some snow. mainly over there could some snow. mainly over the higher ground but even down to low levels could be a novelty tomorrow morning. it will clear away and there will be some sunshine and one or two showers in the north. goodbye.
