to open out. it won't be overly cold, either, i think these will be early maxima, and they will gradually chip away as the day goes on down into single figures. now sunday night, still a long breeze around, we will be frost—free in many locations. the cloud spreads in ahead of the next area of low pressure. so a really unsettled start to the forthcoming week, and that is quite a bit of rain fall to come across many parts of the british isles. hill snow in scotland, and that in its own right will be quite a windy day, but not a cold one by any means at all. it really will take time on tuesday before we push the last of this weather front away from the southern counties england. quite a few isobars there, so you can be taking on a pretty breezy day. sunny spells and showers away from the southern counties of england and wales, where eventually the rain will fade away. and it is this blustery, showery bright regime that takes over. but again, those temperatures

at the vestiges of the mild air, just hanging on for a time. but once we get into the flow, and there will be plenty of flow in the forthcoming week, we will see cooler air, on the cooler side of the jet stream, really panning out for the rest of the forthcoming week until perhaps towards next weekend. briefly as another weather front comes through, we mayjust find those temperatures getting back towards dual figures for some parts of the british isles. but the sense of the forthcoming week, once we've got rid of the early rain, is a mixture of sunny spells and blustery showers.

hello, this is bbc news with rachel schofield. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines...

confirmation of the first death from coronavirus here in the uk — the patient was being treated at the royal berkshire hospital and had an underlying health condition. the prime minister says government scientists are examining what steps might be needed to deal with the outbreak. what they're looking at the next few daysin what they're looking at the next few days in the near future what they're looking at the next few days in the nearfuture is what they're looking at the next few days in the near future is what kind of measures might be necessary to regard the spread of the disease. a report from inside syria's idlib province as a ceasefire is agreed after months of heavy bombardment. grounded — the collapse of flybe leaves passengers in the lurch and thousands of staff facing a bleak future. the duke and duchess of sussex return to the uk for one of their last official engagements before they step back as senior royals at the end of the month.

welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are giles kenningham, the political commentator and former head of press at number 10 for david cameron, and the political writer and academic, maya goodfellow. great that you are both with us again tonight. we've already snagged up again tonight. we've already snagged up the front pages to give you a flavour, similar headlines on many of them, one of them dominating in the times, the first death in the uk of the coronavirus is the top story. the paper says the elderly contact the mecca victim had no contact with any other known cases. the first casualty is also the story in the daily mirror star. a coronation street stars but annihilation. also the main story in the guardian,

downing street says it is likely the virus will spread in a significant way. the daily express is the first virus death in the uk with a crisis pushing the nhs to the brink. in the daily mail, it is the scandal of the princess subducted from the uk, concerning allegations made against the billionaire ruler of dubai. and in the financial times, the us are hitting out over export barriers for medical equipment. germany, russia, and turkey among those under fire from american officials. so let's have a look, and giles, let us start with the times. one story dominating, the sad story that an elderly lady has been the first person in the uk to die from coronavirus. i suppose this fuels the media hysteria around us. it is worth noting that incredibly tragic and very sad, she had underlying medical conditions so that must be

seen within that context. but what you see is a huge knock on effect of what's going on. supermarkets are stockpiling, shells being empty. premier league banning people from shaking hands, the six nations match has been cancelled this weekend. they are saying that italy is where this virus could wipe $10 billion from the tourist industry. but someone from the tourist industry. but someone needs to strike a balance here between transparency, being up front but not crippling people from leading their everyday lives. from everything i've seen, i'm no expert but it has hit people harder who are over 65, there needs to be a battle here. the government's chief medical adviser has also been giving many interviews today, talking to mps and saying the vast majority of patients only had a bad cold and told older people that contracting it did not

mean they were a goner. sometimes the fear is always worse than reality. everything needs to be put in perspective. do you think we are getting it wrong, or are people worrying and doing their own thing, and they do crazy stuff? people need to know what is happening, there needs to be some public information about the risks, particularly people who have underlying health conditions who are more vulnerable, it because it is having a detrimental effect on them. and it also depends on the governments's decisions. in italy, schools are out for two weeks, because the levels it is spreading in italy are quite high. so the government decides to do that, if they think that is in the best public interest, there's not much that can be done. but it also has a knock on effect on people in terms of their livelihoods. so not everyone is in a position, say if schools are suspended for a

particular amount of time, not all parents are in the position to take paid leave off work or from home. that is not a possibility for everyone , so that is not a possibility for everyone, so it is about realising how the in existing dutch existing inequalities in the uk, which are around in the long term, would be exacerbated by some of these things. in the daily telegraph, they have patients being told to stay home if they get mild virus. apparently a shift in policy, i guess all focused on trying to stop the hospitals getting out of control? on trying to stop the hospitals getting out of control7|j on trying to stop the hospitals getting out of control? i think a bit of expectation management here. the government said they can paint a worse case scenario, so the government said they can paint a worse case scenario, so if it hasn't they can walk back from it. but there is a big fear in number ten this could trigger a recession, that is what happens. so they need to have been seen saying they are totally upfront, this is where it's at. i personally don't think we are at. i personally don't think we are at that stage yet, i'm not a medical expert. but hsbc sent a load of stuff home after they tested

positive, around the corner from where i work. so there is a sense of picking up the pace and dominating an agenda. we have a budget next week... it is supposed to be the economic impact. flybe has already said the coronavirus has had a part in bringing it to its needs, and lots of people will be changing their travel plans and not going to... people are not travelling abroad. it depends on if you'll be allowed back in after quarantine. just like the macroeconomics, how does this affect people in the uk and elsewhere ? does this affect people in the uk and elsewhere? with the flybe thing, thousands of people's jobs are at risk and the lack of security for a lot of people, given how insecure a lot of people, given how insecure a lot of people, given how insecure a lot of our work and economy is. so it really shines a light on some of the things that already exist in

society, and the major policy failures of the last ten or more years in the uk. things like the guidance here is to stay at home, and it kind of goes counter to what the story says — it says counter to what the cdc says, which is to go and get medical advice. at the hospital. so i think there are these different attacks — i guess it will be apparent which one is more effective. i disagree, i don't think people should be making political capital out of this. this is a time when the government needs to held to account, but let's be reasonable. this isn't down to cuts, this is a global epidemic and you can't put it that way. it is quite cheap to go down that road. i'm not claiming the coronavirus is being produced... i'm saying the impact this will have on some people in society potentially —

we will see what happens, i don't wa nt we will see what happens, i don't want to create any kind of panic, but in terms of some of the projections of what the economic impact could be, you also mentioned what that will mean for people who are already in insecure work were struggling in society, because of the way our society and economy is structured. that is not to say the government is causing coronavirus, i would never say that. but to recognise that some of the policies that are in place for ten years but longer have not been sufficient and mean people will be impacted detrimentally. i suppose we have to acknowledge that it does highlight the pressure the nhs is always under in the winter, and the fact that that story comes around year after year, coronavirus or no, that people are very tightly stretched. of course, but as you say there's a lwa ys course, but as you say there's always pressure on the nhs. very few services throughout the world have three nhs to the point of access. it needs to be put in that context. but i think we need to be mindful of that. lets move on because i want to ta ke that. lets move on because i want to take you to the independent, and a

picture of elizabeth warren who has said that she is pulling out of the democratic nomination race as it were. the question in their headline is who will she back now? elizabeth warren is one of many potential candidates who are in the race who have now withdrawn, having not done as well during super tuesday and some of the primaries i have been going on. and really, ithink some of the primaries i have been going on. and really, i think both joe biden and bernie sanders will be looking to warren, trying to get her endorsement. but i think for some warren supporters, the natural way to go will be bernie sanders, given there has been some overlap in their policies. sanders's agenda is slightly more exciting than what warren was offering, but given they we re warren was offering, but given they were positioned — the quite crude positioning of all the candidates on the left or right spectrum, they we re the left or right spectrum, they were positioned more closely with one another, and that might be a way that those people who are supporting her may go to him. i know giles feels very strongly about bernie

sanders of. i hate to agree with her, but i think she's right, i think a lot of warren supporters will lurch towards bernie sanders. they have a similar agenda about smashing up the tech giants. it is a jeremy corbyn like agenda. my point here is ijust do not think that sanders orjoe biden will beat trump. i think it is incredibly sad that you can't find a credible figure to take on trump. i think bloomberg could have hurt trump in the sense that he was a much more successful businessmen. he's now stood down... he didn't cut through but i think it's feeling was he came to the party too late, and his time was probably 5—10 years ago. it is amazing you can't find someone to ta ke amazing you can't find someone to take on trump. i think trump will probably win again. you are getting people who are very old in this race, aren't you? i think there that thing about energy versus experience and how that plays out. one of the points elizabeth warren was making

in this press conference in his press co nfe re nce , in this press conference in his press conference, she sounded very emotional because she was making the point but that her departure, there is perhaps no real credible female candidate now — only one remains but there's no chance of her breaking through, and she's made that point that realistically it'll be another four years before another woman gets her shot at the white house. four years before another woman gets her shot at the white housem will, and i think that symbolism for people will be disappointing. but i think you can have an agenda that is good for women which means good policies for women across the country, and it is about who represents that. i think what bernie sanders is saying in terms of thinking about invigorating the economy and rebalancing the economy in favour people who have been left behind for decades and decades would do well for lots of people who were marginalised, and often is women and people of colour in the us. so the symbolism for a lot of people matters, but for me it is the policy content, who will that impact? back to british politics and the

telegraph, tucked away at the bottom here in their news belt, a reference toa here in their news belt, a reference to a letter they are publishing in the daily telegraph tomorrow all about priti patel and support for her. tell us more. priti patel has been underfire her. tell us more. priti patel has been under fire for the past ten yea rs over “— been under fire for the past ten years over —— ten days over allegations of bullying. nearly 100 people rallying around her, a big flashpoint of her supporters hitting back, saying you know what? she's doing a good job, it is quite right that she holds the civil service to account. personally i don't think they will get her scalp. from what i know, boris respects her, quite likes her, and they won't want to give into the civil service. what i would say, and i'm not privy to all the allegations, is that they've said the permanent secretary from the home office who has stood down the home office who has stood down the saying they are suing the government, saying he was the victim ofa government, saying he was the victim of a lot of media briefings, fair

enough. for a victim of it, he seems to be running if common graft campaign himself to hit back, which is fine but don't play the victim in all this. he's running his own concerted campaign and probably has throughout. what do you make of? in the list of signatories, people like tory mps, you have linton crosby. it's not surprising that they are coming out necessarily in support, but the allegations of bullying need to be taken incredibly seriously regardless of who they are made against. and i don't think this is a political point. i think the point is that they should be taken seriously, particularly when it involves people who work in the civil service who often can't speak for themselves. and the way that the civil service is talked about, i'm not someone who will uncritically defend everything the civil service, particularly the home office does. but i think it is important to recognise that certain politicians and the way they talk about the civil service, this really negative way, talking about this blockage to things like brexit, is really

damaging when you have lots of civil servant doing their job.|j damaging when you have lots of civil servant doing theirjob. i think there so i amazing civil servants, not to attackjohn burke out... i'm not to attackjohn burke out... i'm not saying you, come adjusting generally. there were lots of bullying allegations there. we should say the home secretary categorically denying all those allegations. let's go to the daily express, a lovely picture of a smiling meghan and harry who have been on royal duties tonight, some of their last real duties?” been on royal duties tonight, some of their last real duties? i think it is the first picture of them in the uk since the announcement that they were leaving. i'm not massively interested in the royal family but i think that it is perfectly nice to see the two of them walking down the street and looking very happy. for me and a lot of people of colour in

the uk, this story it in particular and seeing meghan markle back on the front pages isjust a reminder of how badly that debate was covered and talked about at the start of the year. so the uk is a country where we know race isn't thing but until it is named you were told it doesn't exist. it is more offensive now and printed something as racist, to say you are experiencing racism or seeing racism enacted. it goes beyond the royal family, it is more about how part of the story is how it meghan markle was treated in the discourse around that, and how poorly parts of the media dealt with that and understood that.” poorly parts of the media dealt with that and understood that. i think it isa that and understood that. i think it is a story that will continue to have repercussions for some time because they've also said they're stepping back, but that is under review in a year's time. ijust want to ta ke review in a year's time. ijust want to take some time to return to the daily telegraph, because boris johnson is considering a tunnel under the irish sea instead of a

bridge. tell us more. boris johnson is famous for his love of infrastructure projects, he's come back to hs2, and officially had boris island, where he talked about a bridge between scotland and northern ireland. the proposal on the table now is a tonal, and they've set out the agenda behind this and what's going on. what i would say about this, and i know some people are quite sniffy about boris and infrastructure projects, but there is a knock on effect on this. look at hs2, when it does is it creates a sense of excitement and investment, and you have to look at wages to a place like birmingham where it has created over 9000 jobs, hsbc have put their headquarters there. when hs2 happens, if you are able to get from there to birmingham airport in 13 minutes, i support this idea of connectivity and

leveling up, and moving forward. it isa leveling up, and moving forward. it is a tough thing for politicians because the voters won't feel it in the short—term, it is long—term thing. the response will thing to do is do it in the long term because it will benefit the country in the long term. do you fancy this bridge or tunnel? i do think... , on! ithink i have less interest in this and i'm more interested in thinking about some of the other forms of investment, some of which the government have talked about, in thinking about connectivity. come on, leveling up. if we talk about bus services in the northeast, i can go home to newcastle, get on a bus and goa go home to newcastle, get on a bus and go a short distance and pay a huge amount of money. comparing that to london? that is mad that we have these private companies making eight total killing in these. i'm not confident about this, just thinking about the garden bridge and some of the other things that borisjohnson

has said in the past. but we will wait and see. the thing i thought they discounted the tunnel was because there was a trench full of world war ii munitions under the city there? may be, it does get mentioned. it says that this would avoid that? here we are, it would avoid that? here we are, it would avoid a second world war munitions dump and could be built by 2030. so it would be safe to go through. ensured everything we said about the euro tunnel before it happened maybe? you want something positive to look forward to, a big building project. 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/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests, giles kenningham and maya goodfellow. that's all from us this

evening, and goodnight. good evening, here's your latest sports news. i'm olie foster. the fa cup quarterfinal line up is complete, manchester united the last team through after a fairly routine 3—0 win over derby county. odion ighalo scored his second and third goals for the club. that's 250 behind wayne rooney's united record, but it was rooney who was on the losing side tonight. united will face norwich in the quarters lydia campbell reports he spent 13 years of the manchester united red, but now rooney was plotting their downfall in derby county white. he is not the only danger man for darby though. lewis sibley was the first to test sergio romero.

this was the the moment that headline writers were waiting for, rooney over a free kick. tromero again was there to spoil the fun. sometimes you need a slice of luck in football. united got it here. opening the scoring off the back ofjesse. it was too soon after. but how fan getting a second for the club. all but ending derby's hopes of a tie. it might be early in his career, but he is already proving to be a hit. romero was once again the man to get in the way too good a good night for united as they march off to the fa cup. too good for derby county, too good for rooney. lydia campbell, bbc news. the big thing is we are through, that's the main thing in the cup.

two goes from just goals from odie on, that's fantastic for us to see, a striker coming in within a month. he's already shown what he can do. coming up at midnight, england's women play the world champions the usa in orlando. the lionesses are defending their shebelieves cup title, but it was the americans that knocked them out of last summer's world cup. we have to put that period behind us. it was a good world cup and for the team, we had a period as a world cup hangover. now it is 2020, that fresh faces and describe. it excites us. we had the olympics to look forward to. we had a 2021 and a combination as well they have to pay this chapter behind us. it reflected on our learnings and think of this as a fresh start. maybe youngsters can inject a bit of energy into our team. england's final match in this year's six nations championship has been postponed because of coronavirus. they were due to face italy in rome

next weekend but the government there has ordered all major sports to take place behind closed doors for the next month, and rugby chiefs have decided that it would be best to move the match at the stadio olimpico to a later date. italy were due to face ireland in dublin this weekend but that had already been called off. leeds have gone top of super league for the first time in five years, after running in 11 tries in a 66—12 victory over toronto wolfpack. toronto have now lost all six of their matches since promotion. andy murray could be back on court in the next couple of weeks, the three—time grand slam champion has only played one match since october beacuse of a pelvic injury, possibly related to his last hip operation, but he's targetting the miami open at the end of the month for his return. that's all the sport for now.

what a good morning. parts of southeast england had over an inch and a half of rain on thursday. the area of low pressure is bringing heavy rain, gale force gusts of winds across the near continent, also bringing significant snowfall over the alps as well. but behind it, clear skies and lighter winds. that means for us a chilly start to our friday morning with many places hovering around or just our friday morning with many places hovering around orjust below freezing. the exception is the far southeast clinging to some cloud, may be ended northern ireland. here we could see some showers from the word go. elsewhere there could be early morning mist and fog lifting a way to dry, sunny spells for many. some of those showers out of the west will merge together for longer spells of rain into the afternoon, some of the showers will linger for a time belt where it stage dry and largely fine with temperatures ranging from 7—11dc. moving into friday into the start of the weekend, an area just another area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic. but it is really worth

emphasising that for many of us this weekend, we will see some usable, dry weather in the story. but the winds will become a future once again, increasingly windy and there will be some rain around at times. but hopefully for most of us it arrives through the night. so you can see on saturday, despite the cloud and windy, a good deal of dry weather. heaviest of the rain to the afternoon across western scotland, northern ireland and northwest england as well. winds will strengthen too with gusts in excess of 50 mph. highs ranging from seven to —— of 50 mph. highs ranging from seven to -- 7—11dc. of 50 mph. highs ranging from seven to -- 7-11dc. that of 50 mph. highs ranging from seven to —— 7—11dc. that wet and windy weather sweeps its way steadily southeast, dripping along with those gale force winds at times. there will be a spell of heavy rain as it moves its way southeast, but hopefully it will clear southeast england first thing on sunday, then leave another day of sunny spells and scattered showers. but with a strong, blustery winds, some of these wins could be heavy with some

hail makes in there. some of you may escape showers altogether, and some of you, the further west you are, could be quite frequent. it looks as though this scene was set to continue into the early half of the new working week. sunny spells, scattered showers and blustery winds to go with it. that's it, take care.

welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm mariko oi in singapore. the headlines: as infection and death rates jump across the world the world health organisation says it fears some countries aren't taking the coronavirus threat seriously enough. after the death of a passenger from the virus officals search for over two thousand people who disembarked a cruise liner in san francisco. i'm lewis vaughan jones in london. also in the programme. as a ceasefire comes into affect in syria's idlib province people count the cost after months of brutal conflict. this is from the bomb?
