"unlawful" by failing to take into account the uk's climate change commitments. the daily mail says canada has refused to keep guarding the duke and duchess of sussex and baby son archie after they step down as working royals. the canadian government has confirmed it has been helping to guard the couple since they settled on vancouver island but would no longer pay for their security after march 31. and finally, on the independent‘s website, the pope has called on catholics to give up insulting each other during lent. he urged followers to stop being cruel to each other online, in response to a world "polluted by too much verbal violence". with me is eileen burbidge who's a technology entrepreneur and partner at passion capital. let's begin with the daily mirror. virus panics, pictures of people wearing masks on the london tube, and more details

of just how the london tube, and more details ofjust how the nhs, it says, cannot cope if the virus strike ‘s here in a large—scale form. the crux of this piece is actually quoting jeremy hunt, the former health minister and now the chair of the health select committee. obviously he knows what he is talking about and it is pulling on quotes from around some of the trusts around the country, and talking about the absolute worst case scenario. clearly, if we do have a pandemic, if it really does take hold in the uk and we have too many patients seeking care, the point is they will have to be choices to be made and they will have to be systems in place or rules in place about who would get priority for the ads, respirators, and whether or not we have sufficient staff to attend to the patients. we have been hearing from a doctor in china said no authority in the world could cope with the number of cases they have had to deal with, in terms of the technology they need, the infrastructure, because there just isn't the resources anywhere for this. one does not really plan for a global

pandemic, right? and the critique in this article is with recent cuts to nhs funding and whether or not you have got enough staff, whether or not you have got enough beds in hospitals and whether or not you have got enough critical ca re you have got enough critical care facilities to actually step up, even beyond pity aggressive winter flu season, to actually treat patients that might come in, even for testing, like you said, respiratory problems or any other kind of care. it says here, virus panic as the headline, and inside there is a comment saying, it is a bad flu, not ebola market, so don't panic. even if you do get it, and very slim chance, it is unlikely that unless you have underlying health conditions you would be seriously ill. indeed, the who is trying to reiterate that 80% of people who would test positive or be infected, they will just who would test positive or be infected, they willjust have very mild symptoms. and beyond that, the bulk of them, 14%, they would have severe issues. only about 5% would really need critical care. meanwhile, the

japan times reports by mr shinzo abe has requested the closure of all schools in the country. this is huge. i don't wa nt to country. this is huge. i don't want to use the word panic again, but they are seriously worried. at the moment they have just 200 cases but they are still going ahead with this decision which will of course have a massive knock on effect for all the parents will have to look after children. and for childcare, which will affect the workforce, which will affect business and commerce. obviously china has already had its schools closed since lunar new year, so that is several weeks of 276 million students in the country of china stop japan following suit, it is obviously an abundance of caution. moo schools, caution. m00 schools, initially. they obviously already have a spring break coming up, and if you include start time away, it could be up to one month. we talk about the knock—on effect for businesses. this is the stock markets, but we have seen that overnight, a massive fall on the asian

market? that is the next piece in the financial times. that is talking about the asian markets, it is the biggest single day drop, but as you mentioned, on a proportional basis, what we saw with the banking crisis in 2008, that was a 10% drop. what we have seen yesterday and this morning is anywhere from about two and a half to three and a half %. the question is if we are only at the tip of the iceberg and how long this could go for, right? let's move away from coronavirus and talk about the heathrow expansion which, at the moment, the plans have been abandoned, there was a court ruling yesterday which said a third runway was unlawful. some people were saying, that since the prime minister, doesn't it? he was always against this. but what now for expansion for this airport, do you think? abandon isa airport, do you think? abandon is a great choice of words, but it is funny, because the way this has been going it isjust another postponement, isn't it?

heathrow has said they will definitely appeal. they said theissues definitely appeal. they said the issues that were raised, and of course because of the binding commitments in the paris climate agreement, they say those can be addressed and fixed. the interesting thing about this setting a precedent is whether or not campaigners can use the same sort of legal basis now for any kind of infrastructure development, whether it is roadworks or new building, new construction, so i think it is a really interesting case. it is one that will impact all of the countries that signed up for the paris climate agreement, of course. the conflict here is about the uk post brexit, wanting to appear outward looking and needing infrastructure investment and how you address that dichotomy now, if they are not going to do things like this, like improve heathrow, which is already a massive global hub, to expand it further. how are they going to do that and attract new customers and investment, et cetera? there is that balance, but also committing to zero and doing oui’ committing to zero and doing our part to try to stop climate

change. the headline of the daily mail. canada says they will not protect harry and meghan. i'm not sure if this means they won't protect them at all, or if it means they will not pay for it. justin trudeau initially said when they wanted to spend more time there that they would foot the bill. we are told that he should be queen. it looks like that might not be the case now? —— assured the queen. that might not be the case now? -- assured the queen. they are going back on this routine, they will always be safe in canada. the question is, who is going to pay for it? various estimates, there are no idea of how accurate they are, the security details could cost up to £20 million a year. my assumption is that whatever happens, they will continue to have a security detail, how much will the couple have to pay for it themselves? how much will be shared with local forces, and may be how much will still be paid for here out of the uk? that is the difficulty with this. they have gone into uncharted territories, everybody is trying to figure it out as they

go along, but it does seem like the couple are not really getting what they reportedly thought they might. as you say, it is unprecedented. nobody was going to be able to predict how this was going to go, but it is not completely unreasonable for them to have to pay for their own private security either. there are also questions about whether the queen or prince charles should foot the bill. they are very independently financially wealthy and that is a valid point, isn't it? yes, the widerfamily, a valid point, isn't it? yes, the wider family, i a valid point, isn't it? yes, the widerfamily, i am sure they will continue to be safe in canada. and also, they are aiming to become financially independent, aren't they? so they could pay for it themselves. they are very bankable people, aren't they? are they? well, she already had a career in hollywood, so... let's have a look at the independent. the papers asking people to give up being cruel to each other online for lent. very reasonable. yesterday was ash wednesday so for all the catholics around the world that marks the start of the period of land, which ends easter,

which is a time for catholics to reflect. giving up sacrificing what would be called luxuries or superfluous things. his point was really, put down the phone, pick up a bible, and while you are at it, when you are on the phone, try to be kind to people and try to keep the verbal abuse to a minimum. obviously he and the papal minimum. obviously he and the pa pal state minimum. obviously he and the papal state has minimum. obviously he and the pa pal state has been minimum. obviously he and the papal state has been really, really roundly criticised online and on social media and so online and on social media and so they will probably have seen the effects of that, and they are now using lent as a chance to remind people to do a bit better. how do you think this will go down? i think it is a reasonable thing for him to say. i think it is probably going to condition a huge backless going to condition a huge ba ckless o n going to condition a huge backless on social media, from all the haters and patrols. counter—productive. all the haters and patrols. counter-productive. yes. it is sensible for him to say but i don't know if it will lead to anything measurable or any kind of change in sentiment online. do you think it is right for these global religious leaders to wade into this kind of the debate? i think it is reasonable for them to say, listen, let's try to be kind to

people, let's try to remember values and morals and decency. i think that is fair enough, especially focusing on social media and online abuse. it is a bit of a specific use case, i would say. but fair enough, he is trying to make a point and maybe even sound relatable to the catholics. and i suppose the catholics. and i suppose theissue the catholics. and i suppose the issue is, get off twitter and instrument facebook if you don't like it. exactly. that is what he is saying, pick up the bible. one more thing before you go. this london firm sending staff home, is that affecting your business at all, the coronavirus? have you seen any knock—on effect? the coronavirus? have you seen any knock-on effect? in terms of the business as i am related to, we have not had any office closures yet with respect to businesses i am directly involved in, but we are certainly planning for it. i think that is the sensible thing to do. looking out the supply chain, do we need to preorder laptops, what are the plans in case somebody tests positive? great to have you and us. positive? great to have you and us. thanks for taking us through the papers and thank you for watching.

hello once again. just as i was beginning to think about climatological spring at the end of the week, so thursday brought a taste of winter to some areas, and yet much of the rest of february is going to be all about some really quite heavy rain, some very strong winds. details, of course, on all of the warnings associated with this weather are to be found on the bbc weather website. friday itself starts off dry enough across eastern spots. it's a complete contrast, though, to fortunes towards the west. because here, having had a fairly cool start to the night, so with the cloud pushing in, relatively speaking, i think it will hold up the temperatures. five or six degrees to start off your day. but you've got the cloud and the wind and the rain right from the word go, and it's that regime that wins out across those drier sections in the east, because the movement of that frontjust drags that cloud and rain ever further towards the north and east during the course of the day.

an increasingly mild day for central and southern spots. it stays pretty chilly, though, across much of scotland. and that's not the whole story, because what is driving our weather through the course of the weekend isjorge, a named storm, throwing another weather front during the course of saturday across many parts of the british isles, quite early on across the greater part of england and wales. it lingers with intent across the north of scotland, and then another portion of that weather front just peps up the showers. so long spells of rain, which of course is across the high ground across northern britain. so that's a miserable day. four, five, six degrees, something of that order, and the strength of the wind a real concern from about midday on saturday right through sunday. we're looking at gusts of wind 60—70 mph. when i show you the pressure chart, that's no great surprise, because you see the squeeze on those isobars there widely across the british isles. this is notjust a feature for the north of scotland, but i think somewhere across the north could well in exposure see 70 mph. further south, it's going to be a blustery day, with some sunshine. it's not all doom and gloom by any means at all,

but the feeling of the day will be tempered by the strength of that wind, which persists on sunday, simply becausejorge is very close by to the north of scotland. so you may not feel every bit of that eight or nine or ten, if you're not stuck closer to five or six or seven further north, where the showers will be wintry. and it's not really until monday that we begin to see the ease in the winds, and there will be some sunshine, fewer showers, a relief after the weekend. keep an eye on the forecast. take care, bye—bye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and rachel burden. our headlines today: jet2 says it won't fly home britons at a coronavirus—hit hotel in tenerife until they have spent two weeks in quarantine. no need to panic — that is the advice from health officials in northern ireland after it confirms a case of the virus, bringing the uk's total to 16. greta thunberg joins a climate change protest in bristol as police express concerns about the number of young people who may attend.
