is a whole new challenge — sg. 56 will generate much more traffic and demand much more power, which is not good for climate change. we've all got to change. i think the internet‘s got the power to help us control and reduce climate change, but we need to change some of our more frivolous behaviour before we get there. streaming videos and standard definition rather than hd saves four times the emissions, and using wi—fi rather than s—ag uses a third of the energy. claire bbc news. and we'll be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers, dawn foster, who's a columnist for the guardian, and matt dathan, the deputy political editor at the sun. that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it's time for the weather. somebody‘s going to tell me, here's darren. hello there. wednesday saw some rain affecting many parts of england and wales
11:31 pm
but there is wetter and windier weather on the way. that is likely to start to move into this weekend. the winds will be strengthening and we will get a spell of heavier rain from the atlantic followed by some showers. at the moment, we still have an area of low—pressure sitting close to the far south of the uk, bringing some outbreaks of rain. the rain that we had further north earlier is continuing to peter out. for many parts of the country, it will brighten up steadily during thursday with some sunshine around. and a few showers too. but that wetter weather should be moving away from the channel islands, sitting very close to the southeast of england through much of the day. and there will be some cooler stronger winds affecting southern england as well. most of the heavy showers continue for western scotland and northern ireland. they will still be there during the evening as well. that winter weather moves away from the southeast, the cloud gradually breaking up and the winds easing too. signalling perhaps a touch of frost here and there on friday. but there is a another weather front coming in from the west. this one is very weak.
11:32 pm
there is no great temperature contrast either side of it. it is more a case of an area of showers really coming in very slowly from the west. ahead of it, mist and fog patches across midlands in northern england and those will left them for many parts of eastern england and scotland, friday could be a dry day with sunshine at times. i hinted earlier at the changes to come this weekend. essentially, we have a deeper area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic. the winds will be strengthening. that first weather front is blowing in more low cloud and some drizzle around the western hills and coast. we will see cloud amounts increasing. it is the second front that is much more active and this is where we will see steadier and heavier rain arriving into western scotland and northern ireland. the winds gradually picking up, it's a southerly wind, eventually temperatures in many places in double figures. but it is a brief taste of milder air because as that weather front sweeps eastwards bringing some heavier rain, maybe a0 mm or so, over the hills of wales, it will be replaced by cooler
11:33 pm
and fresher air and still some rather strong winds as well. and sunday is a day of sunshine and showers. quite a few showers as you can see. the bulk of them in western areas but a few will get to the eastern side of the uk and those temperatures probably dropping off a bit more as the day goes on. so that is the weekend. if we look into the beginning of next week, and to after the showers, we have a another area of low—pressure coming in from the atlantic. if anything, this could produce some stronger winds. gales i think in many places at least and this rain is going to be quite heavy widely preceded by snow in the scottish mountains. really strong winds picking up as well with the rain and it will always be heavier over the hills in the west. and the temperatures in many places in double figures. if we look further ahead into next week, after that spell of heavier rain, moves through, it is more a case of sunshine and showers really but probably the temperatures beginning to drop away a bit particularly across the northern half of the uk. we have a really strong jet stream again into next week,
11:34 pm
which is going to maintain this very unsettled theme and we are more likely to be on the colder side of thatjet through much of next week as well. so we have the showers coming again and some rather brisk winds and the bulk of the showers in the north and west of the uk but every now and again we will get some burst of persistent rain running in on the strong winds. goodbye. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first — the headlines. britain's biggest regional airline, flybe, is on the verge of collapse, putting two thousand jobs at risk. it is small in the scale of the uk as a whole. if you are flying out of exeter or specifically southampton, it really is one of the only choices. the number of confirmed coronavirus
11:35 pm
cases in the ukjumps to 87, as a public health campaign urges people to wash their hands regularly. at this point in time, we think it is likely, not definite, that we will move into an epidemic here in the uk. the greek island that's fast becoming a new migrant flashpoint aid workers say residents are turning on them. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are dawn foster, who's a columnist for the guardian, and matt dathan, the deputy political editor at the sun. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. welcome pages are already in. to both of you. but take a look welcome to both of you. but take a look at the pages. the i leads with coronavirus after the biggest daily increase of cases in the uk, 36 new
11:36 pm
cases that it can also reports on italy shutting all of the schools. leading the guardian, the government is accused of secrecy over the spread of the virus with the news that health officials will stop providing daily updates on a location of new cases. the male says that the point of no return written on the brink of shifting their focus from containing the virus to delaying its peak as the number of cases escalates. in the times, the news that parliament could be set for five months to stop mps spreading coronavirus across the country. —— could be shut. the metro says doctor says no, news that film—makers have postponed the release of the new james bond film due to coronavirus. in the financial times, immigration crackdown prompts watch sought to downgrade predictions for long—term economic growth. we will look through some of those in the next 15 minutes. matt,
11:37 pm
this is the daily mail. coronavirus point of no return. correct. 36 new cases today. a real sign that the epidemic is becoming an epidemic going to hit us hard and affect everybody‘s lives really from cancelling mass gatherings such as football matches and sports but whirring hitting businesses and big businesses like flybe, flybe appeared to be one of the first businesses to speak victim to coronavirus after a lot of bookings abroad being cancelled. i think we will see a lot of other travel companies really suffering from this. it shows you how widespread this. it shows you how widespread this virus will affect the economy and everybody‘s lives and what interesting thing is that i spied on the daily mailfront interesting thing is that i spied on the daily mail front page that some people have taken to drastic measures after supermarkets have run out of mask and other products. earlier i saw on the website somebody some woman had gone to put a box on their head while travelling
11:38 pm
to two. not sure if there was a joke oi’ to two. not sure if there was a joke or not but it shows you... not sure what it would achieve to be honest. i park not being able to see. what it would achieve to be honest. i park not being able to seem what it would achieve to be honest. i park not being able to see. it was see—through. i park not being able to see. it was see-through. we are talking about containment, don, not being an option any more. yes. it sounds quite scary that there was a big increase in cases. but i do think that the male headline is a little bit scaremongering. —— the development headline. the chief medical officer has, and said this is what we expected and what we expect to happen and this is in line with that so the cases will start to increase quite massively, we had this same with swine flu. but i think that we have actually been quite prepared. there has been a lot of thought put into how we fight this. and when it comes to trying to keep and make sure people come
11:39 pm
forward if they have contact, and actually make sure they have the help that they need, so that if you are somebody with a pre—existing health condition, you can see virus come you can be treated in hospital and make sure that the respiratory problems and possible pneumonia do not occur. there is a reference to an aggressive new strain being found. that takes us back to china i think. it is quite worrying. it is reported that a new more aggressive strain of coronavirus has emerged in china and china as seem to really regain control of the virus while italy is broken out of control. this is quite worrying. it is now two strains of the virus, one is aggressive a one is mild. i think both are quite dangerous in different forms. the mild one and people can pass it on without realising that actually have it. it shows you how little we actually know about this deal. what are the possibility, let's go to the the
11:40 pm
times, i parliament being shut down for months? britain has to think about how we make sure this doesn't affect everybody. and i do think there is a little bit of hysteria. when he came to the swine flu, if you are ill, you would self—contained. i remember giving a call by the nhs to collect some medication for me and i lock myself ina room. medication for me and i lock myself in a room. —— my flatmate was given a code by the nhs. i think there is a code by the nhs. i think there is a little bit of scaremongering. when it comes to parliament, parliament had the same problems everybody. i've spoken to a lot of people who work there, zero—hour contracts, and even though boris johnson work there, zero—hour contracts, and even though borisjohnson is now come out and said that they will get set up satisfactory sick bay from the first day and i from the third, a lot of those people say that if they are ill they will come in because they know the company will sack them otherwise. so there will
11:41 pm
bea sack them otherwise. so there will be a lot of people in parliament and a lot of state buildings who will happily coming to work ill because they don't feel they have any other option and will put so many people at risk included all these mps who scatter themselves over the country all the time. that is the point. they talk about them being potentially 650 super spreaders because of the fact they go around the country a lot and be all manners of people in their day—to—day lives and they then are cooped up in a very confined space at westminster. in many ways the are taking the boxes. great quote from one of the officials involved with the talks come he said after the mps are rubbing up against one another at westminster while the other half are our meeting their constituents. i work in parliament, and every day, every time you going to parliament, you have to put your coding with your finger, you have to put your coding with yourfinger, so you have to put your coding with your finger, so everybody is touching exactly the same spot every time you going. so parliament is an exception i think for spreading the
11:42 pm
virus across the country and of the world really. the moment you shut down something as iconic as parliament, you send a fairly telling signal to the wider population. yes. shutting down parliament is a very extreme move. it also a big gamble for boris johnson it because by the end of the year, we need to have a lot of brexit deals under control, so if we ta ke brexit deals under control, so if we take away five months in russia due afterwards, that will be a very big risk, but it also come if we shut down parliament for five months, we don't know when the peak of these will be. the chief medical officer thinks it will be in not be, there may be a peak in may but may but it may be a peak in may but may but it may then get worse by september and october. what do you do then? one more on this. the guardian. again focusing on the government. this time an accusation that they are not telling us everything they perhaps should tell us. yes. decisions
11:43 pm
decision today by public health england to carry on publishing the figures for a number of infected by coronavirus but not telling us daily update on the location. so until now we know that vaguely where they are like nottingham or whatever, but now they will only publish those locations they to every friday. it is in response to the reality of this virus is spreading so quickly now that it will be quite a unrealistic for them to waste resources on publishing every location and it could cause a bit of panic and stop people from visiting certain shopping centres are have an adverse effect on businesses. but then again, it could, people will be worried if they are not telling us, what else are they not telling us. yes, i think it is a very real big risk care with the government and public health england. if they do not come out and as paul actually says, they should be sharing the
11:44 pm
data as much as possible to make the public equal partners but they don't get all of the data to the public, most of the public will not look at that and use it but if you don't give all of the information to the public, looks as though you are withholding something. like china had in many cases. and once that happens to a country, people lose all faith in don't believe anything the government says. let's move on to other matters. there is a photograph ofjoe biden on the front of the independent. licking a combination of pleas and slightly wide—eyed. and surprised by what a good super tuesday. surprise as the rest of us to see such a big victory. he's gone from dining out injanuary victory. he's gone from dining out in january to now victory. he's gone from dining out injanuary to now being the victory. he's gone from dining out in january to now being the front runner after extraordinary night last night. bloomberg has dropped out and so now it's between him and bernie sanders and can't really get a more extreme race to become at the democratic candidate. and i think donald trump will enjoy the next few months sitting back and watching the two tearing chunks at each other and
11:45 pm
the democrats tearing chunks out of each other. which i think are the labour party fighter in the uk, really damaged the party so much because of the disunity and cost in the party. the intensity of the debate so far within the one party could come you could be forgiven for thinking they must be from different political parties. such is the level of that. yes. it is important to remember that the way the american parties is differing bernie sanders is in parties is differing bernie sanders isina parties is differing bernie sanders is in a democrat. he's an independent. he's running for the democratic nomination. the way that the parties operate is very different. and i think that some people in the labour party including david miliband who came out and spoke about this today did not fully understand that and i think that there is a big risk that if you choose joe biden, people will see him just as much as a person of the establishment as hillary clinton and against donald trump, that will not work. i think bernie sanders will actually make donald trump a lot
11:46 pm
more worried. where as you are more doubtful about that analysis. more worried. where as you are more doubtful about that analysislj thinkjoe biden actually will do well. i think hillary clinton alienated a lot of democratic voters the party needed to win. joe biden will be able to win over some of those, those voters voted in droves for donald trump. and i think that you can also win over republicans as well who just can't bear the thought of another four years of donald trump. i think also his coal association with barack obama will attract african—american voters. —— coal association. the other key point is whoever they choose what all potential democrat voters vote for that individual or will they because there was so tied to one person decide to stay at home which may happen last time? very hard to know. i think a lot of bernie sanders importers are so disheartened by parts of the race and etc that in the fact that it
11:47 pm
seems that the democratic party are now trying to sew it up forjoe biden that they may stay at home and a lot of those people didn't vote previously, they are young or hispanic, or they are unemployed. so a huge amount of the people have them but i think those people will stay home and trump passes core supporters. but you need to attract people who didn't previously vote. that is a good thing. tapping into both parties of the database to having both before. like we saw what brexit in the uk. the more people who bought ended better. pft, don come immigration crackdown causes white stock to trim the outlook. —— the ft. a report the issue last year but talking about it again because the budget is coming up. that the watchdog. sajid javid was previously against the immigration reform. he opposed them and try to soften them. he was pushed out. and now under
11:48 pm
priti patel's policy come if you earned under £25,000 and have a level of surgery and can come in, there is a huge worried that this will massively hit the construction sector. if he hits that construction both buildings and has houses and infrastructure, the economy may take a massive hit. and there is less cash available for services and councils and etc. we've heard a lot about the end of austerity, but it doesn't appear that that will actually come in. i think there is a big worry that that will really hurt the growth. the obr, they had warned that if the immigration plans that look like to appear under theresa may government change, this might be what they end up predicting. yes. i think of that statement of the obvious. they said last year a more strict immigration system payment,
11:49 pm
type to control it will lead to fewer people in the country and lower population and a lower growth. so that is an obvious statement i think andi so that is an obvious statement i think and i think downing street will be fairly relaxed with this because if you look back at the 2016 referendum in the general election, people wanted to take back control. it is not all about economics or gdp. people wanted to see a change and smaller intake and immigration. i don't think this will worry downing street too much to be on it. let's end with a conversation about spitting image. texas back to the times front page. —— it takes us back. a programme i remember very well. quite finally. neither of you do. laughter. no. i've seen pictures. and clips. i have been around the block a bit longer than you both have sadly. my first political media it was 1995john majors. but they are bringing it
11:50 pm
back but not to the bbc. it will be, talk a few years ago spitting image might be brought back to the bbc. so people talk about bringing it back, it is now on brick box, which is a streaming service. appears to be most watched by americans. there will be interesting to see if they keep the same kind of tenure. will be interesting to see if they keep the same kind of tenurem will be interesting to see if they keep the same kind of tenure. it was pretty brutal. are we ready for it. that is the point. how we changed and what we like to see. even when it's about to be satirical. in supposed to be hard—hitting. will will be able to stomach it?|j supposed to be hard—hitting. will will be able to stomach it? i hope so. i'm looking forward to greta thunberg who will be reading out weather forecasts on this. i hope she is ready to be brutalising this. it is going to present dominic cummings, i'm not sure how much an american audience will know about him. and donald trump will be there. you mentioned donald trump with the i don't know if you can see across
11:51 pm
the studio but we have an image on screen i will possibly donald trump will look like. laughter. and that is appearing on front of the metro. alongside his wife. have her appetite sayings. let me show you this while we talk. there is the dog donald trump figure according to the metro. in the melania trim figure. will that work? i hope so. i think our appetites have not changed. the commission exchange. i spent a lot of time recently watching comedy from the 80s and 90s, political comedies, and it was very hardy and enjoyable thoughts of everybody i know feels the same. but it didn't seem to be getting commission in the same way. maybe because the commissioners are thinking that what we wa nt commissioners are thinking that what we want to exchange. possibly. i think programmes like this have run for yea rs think programmes like this have run for years and a step popular. people a lwa ys for years and a step popular. people always like to laugh at politicians.
11:52 pm
i'm quite excited for it. i don't think it would have for 15 million viewers ahead headedness a day. we will have to wait and see. —— it had in his heyday. i forgot it was popular like that. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, dawn foster, and matt dathan. and that's all from us, goodnight. hello. i'm 0lly foster at the bbc sport centre. three more teams have made it
11:53 pm
through to the fa cup quarterfinals tonight. the holders manchester city made hard work of their trip to hillsborough to face sheffield wednesday, 0ne sergio aguero goal enough to beat the championship side craig templeton reports. it has been a good seven days for manchester city. they went to madrid last wednesday and the leak of title on sunday, this wednesday, a trip to wednesday. it looks to the cup. but it was a sluggish start from city for the first sergio aguero couldn't find his feet. and then gabrielle jesus suffered the same fate. not what he had planned. this was closer from nicolas 0tamendi but no goals at half—time. since he started the second half with more purpose. the opening go though still proving elusive. but you cannot keep sergio aguero out for too long. although joe wildsmith in the wednesday goal surely should have. he did to make a man stopping to had not once, but twice. and in the final few minutes
11:54 pm
he made sure it would just be the one. but one was enough and the holders are through of buying more domestic cup dominance. —— eyeing more domestic cup dominance. tottenham's tie against norwich went the distance. norwich went through on penalties. eric dier could find himself in trouble after remonstarting with spurs fans in the stands. it was one all after normal time. captain for the nightjan vertonghen had given spurs an early lead with a headerfrom a giovani lo celso free kick. michel vorm was making his first start since re joining the club in october and when he spilt a long range shotjosip drmic pounced to equalise. extra time came and went with no goals so it went to penalties, spurs fluffed three of theirs, tim krull saving the tame spot kick from gedson to send norwich through. leicester had championship
11:55 pm
opposition in birmingham city and ricardo scored the only goal of the game, a header inside the final ten minutes at the king power stadium. here is the quarter final draw. sheffield united will host arsenal holders. manchester city will travel to st james park to play newcastle. norwich v the winners of tomorrow night's match between derby and manchester united. leicester v chelsea is the other tie. celtic have inceased their lead at the top of the scottish premiership to 13 points despite being held to a two two draw at livingston. scott robinson had put the hosts in the lead just after half time and that goal was so close to being enough for them but for tom rogic to find the equaliser in injury time. that's the first time in 12 domestic game sthat celtic have failed to win. celtic will be disappointed
11:56 pm
with that draw, but rangers couldn't capitalise. they were beaten 1—0 at home by hamilton, who moved off the bottom of the table with that win at ibrox. west bromich albion midfielder jonathan leko has criticised the time it took the fa find the leeds united keeper kiko casilla guilty of racially abusing him. he was banned for eight matches last week for the incident in september during a match at charlton where leko was on loan. he also says that he had minimal contact from the pfa, of which he's a member, and no contact or support from anti racism bodies such as "‘kick it 0ut‘ and "‘show racism the red card'. the pfa have apologised to the player, will review their procedures going forward and will meet with leko tomorrow. england's six nations match in rome against italy will be played behind closed doors. the italian government has announced the measures for all major sports

events in an attempt to stop the spread of the coronavirus. england are due to play at the stadio 0limpico in ten days' time, but rugby chiefs will meet tomorrow with one option to postpone the fixture italy is the worst hit european country with over 3000 cases of coronavirus and over 100 deaths. meanwhile, ioc president thomas bach says there has been no talk that's all the sport for now. hello. look out for mist and fog around across the northern half of the uk first thing. it will be a pretty chilly start for many of us as well. for the majority, there is sunshine to come. temperatures will struggle to lift at the day goes on. just one notable exception and that is the south of the uk, ran around. through the early part of the day, just a little bit of a? about how quickly this area of low pressure will pull off into the continent. heavier rain from torbay basically all the way along the south coast first thing on thursday may push as
11:58 pm
far north as essex. before we get into the afternoon, that system whisked out of the way. behind it, quite a chilly northeasterly wind. a few showers to east anglia and some heavier showers also possible for northern ireland of scotland from a few isolated ones further west. temperatures struggling a little bit and hides around seven or eight. that system finally does clear through thursday evening overnight, but then quite a few showers come packing into the west, m temperatures will come down with clear skies ahead of the shower so they will be quite a significant risk of ice across the west in the side of the uk first thing on friday. this front not a particularly lively affair, probably the sharpest of the showers early on in the day. and then we will see them become increasingly scattered and by the time that front drift eastwards for seminary never guess, it will be a case of thickening cloud. heavier showers for the northwest of scotland. temperatures
11:59 pm
on friday, similar to today around seven and eight or maybe 9 degrees. here is the weekend. another area of low pressure, the good news is that it is not a severe area of low pressure as last week and so it shouldn't be a named storm in the worst of the weather should go through overnight. saturday daytime many dry and increasingly cloudy and raining through the afternoon for northern ireland and scotland and eventually northwest of england. temperatures up a little on friday around nine to 10 degrees but actually through the evening and overnight, it may rise further and some sites as this front pulls warmerair some sites as this front pulls warmer air ahead some sites as this front pulls warmerairahead and some sites as this front pulls warmer air ahead and send a behind the front we plunge back into a northwesterly airstream in a well feel chillier and quite a few sharp showers around and temperatures on the face of it looking similar to saturday but it will be colder in that day.
