an epidemic now "are slim to nil". in total, 206 people have now been infected in the uk — two people have died. both were elderly and with underlying health issues. globally there are more than 100,000 cases — nearly three and half thousand people have died, the vast majority in china. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes reports. the second person to die in the uk after being infected with coronavirus is a man in his 80s who was being treated in hospital in milton keynes. we know he had underlying health problems, but are still uncertainties over exactly how he fell ill. we do not know how he caught coronavirus, we do know that he had been travelling but he did not meet any of the criteria for isolation when he arrived in the

hospital. currently, 21,460 people have been tested for coronavirus. 206 have tested positive and in england 184 cases have been confirmed. in scotland there are 16 and two in wales. these are still quite small numbers compared to other countries in europe, it is now up other countries in europe, it is now up to 4000, but nevertheless it is progressing and i think the chances of the uk missing an epidemic are slim to nothing. there are a few anecdotal reports of panic buying, setting the sales of hand sanitiser have gone up, but retail experts say there is no need. stock will only run down if people start to unnecessarily buy in bulk. it now seems that coronavirus is likely to have an impact on all those and it

is worth pointing out that the vast majority of those who are unlikely to be infected, most people experience no symptoms and will make a full recovery. how is all this affected behaviour of shoppers in manchester on a saturday? affected behaviour of shoppers in manchester on a saturday7m affected behaviour of shoppers in manchester on a saturday? it has changed the way we live but we have some extra hand gel and stuff, you'll wash your hands more?” some extra hand gel and stuff, you'll wash your hands more? i don't trust the door handles, use a tissue. maybe this is a sign of things to come, a big day of sporting action disrupted. at twickenham, ones were clear outside the ground as england took on wales in the six nations. the scotland within's six nations rugby match within's six nations rugby match with france was cancelled because a player tested positive with the virus. sport pole governing bodies and broadcasters are to meet governmental officials on monday to discuss matches behind closed doors.

officials warn that these are still early days and it is just too early to be able to assess the full impact of coronavirus. the family of the patient who died in milton keynes have released a statement. they say... scotla nd scotland was my first minister nicola sturgeon had given her reaction to the five further cases of coronavirus in scotland. we have 16 in scotland, an increase of five since we reported figures yesterday. we have been expected to see an

increase in cases and that increase is likely to be rapid and perhaps accelerate in the days to come. i wa nt to accelerate in the days to come. i want to stress that we are still very much in the containment phase of this outbreak and that means we are doing everything possible to avoid spreading from individual to individual. when a case is identified, we need to make sure that all of the people been ink on tacked with them are being followed up tacked with them are being followed up and even testing. —— contacted. every day we managed to reduce the spread, it is a day more we are preparing the nhs for a greater demand in the weeks to come. it is an extra day for the scientists who are working hard on treatments and vaccines. over the next few days we are likely to see a shift into what is called paa phase, which is all about slowing down spread and the number of people that have this infection at one time so that the pressure on the nhs is relieved a bit. --

pressure on the nhs is relieved a bit. —— delay phase. i would stress that the vast majority of people that the vast majority of people that get this infection will have mild symptoms, it will be like a cold or a mild case of flu, and it will be a small number of people who might develop complications and that is why we in must prepare our nhs we can cure appropriately for those people. but as passengers stuck on a —— 21 people on board of each ship have been diagnosed coronavirus. from san francisco, have a report. a large and empty birth. this is where the ship should have docked today. instead it remained stranded off the coast of

california. —— berth. the lives of those on board are in limbo. when we get moved to this facility we will all be tested and those who do not test positive might be able to leave. we are trusting in god here. something good will come out of it and ifi something good will come out of it and if i test negative i can go home and if i test negative i can go home and get treatment. testing case load onto the cruise ship review 21 people on board have coronavirus. we are taking all measures necessary to cede to the health of the americans and those involved on the ship and, just as impersonally, to protect the health of the american public and prevent the spread of the disease to communities in this country. confirmation they were at risk of catching the virus that has killed thousand rand was given news channels and not the ship captain. you may have heard this on the news

by the media already and we apologise, we were not given advance notice of this announcement by the government. it would have been our presence to be the first to make this news are available to you. these individuals will be notified of their test results as quickly as possible. this will impart that mother is on the cruise liner with herfriend, and mother is on the cruise liner with her friend, and they are mother is on the cruise liner with herfriend, and they are in their 70s. she wanted to react quickly and bring them home. when i was told there were 21 cases of the coronavirus on the ship, most of them were staff, that is when reality hit last night and she was very tea rful reality hit last night and she was very tearful on the phone. the grand princess's mental crew are reacting quickly to steal with medical needs and someone might have to be airlifted to hospital. they are trying to get supplies on board but, ultimately, thousands of people have no idea where they are going when they will get there. leanne higgins

and her daughter kayleigh are on board the grand princess cruise ship. kayleigh explained how they find out a case of coronavirus had been confirmed on board. be vice president said on the news and it was so surprising to me, i am not scared for myself because i am healthy and my mother is healthy, but it is definitely a scary situation. obviously i wanted it the precautions necessary but i do want to go back to school, because i am ina high to go back to school, because i am in a high school and i do not want to miss more school, but i think it is important for everybody‘s safety to ta ke is important for everybody‘s safety to take the proper precautions. our correspond this in for us. we are waiting to find out where this cruise ship is being taken to. any

developments? there are no developments? there are no development on that. it is a waiting game and the task ahead is huge for the health authorities in the san francisco area. 3500 people on that ship have to be tested and when you consider that only 45 have been tested and those test kits had to be taken in using the coastguard and helicopters, then sent on land to laboratories where they were analysed, that is going to be a much bigger task over the next couple of days. was that is over, questions still remain where it will the ship? it will go to a noncommercial port but we don't know where and then there's the question of people quarantined that a tested positive. the crew was the only ship while passengers will be put into quarantine online. the there has

been some mixed messages from the administration, but is that generally appear to be the plano? that seems to be the plan and we expect an update on four hours' time from the cruise liner, but there has been mixed messages in terms of dealing with the situation with president trump actually saying he would prefer everybody on board that ship to stay aboard, in opposition to anyone we want our land, because that would be a scenario that could lead to people testing positive —— more people. the official mess from —— administration is slightly different. there's also been mixed m essa 9 es different. there's also been mixed messages in terms of the test against generally be made available across america. the president said that anyone who wants to be tested could be, the vice president who is leading the effort to get on top of the disease that this was not the case and it will take several weeks before test to be made available to everybody. the other question is,

when should somebody be tested? it is not up to individuals of feeling unwell, but in terms of someone, a doctor, looking at symptoms and people are unsure as to what they should do. a man who can't coronavirus on a separate cruise ship, the diamond princess, pointed outside of japan, has ship, the diamond princess, pointed outside ofjapan, has died. the passenger was among 600 of those who are also infected. his death yesterday brings the death toll on that ship to seven, including one british man. a hotel in china have been used to quarantine people with the coronavirus has collapsed. it has tracked 70 people inside. he holds all is on the south—west coast of china. it is not yet clear what

caused the collapse. around half of the people trapped in the wreckage had been rescued. let us get a reminder of the situation on the coronavirus globally. the number of people infected has exceeded the 102 thousand mark worldwide. over 3500 people have died from the disease. italy is the most affected european country, with nearly 6000 cases. the number of deaths there has risen to 233 and is currently reporting more deaths per day from the virus than any other country in the world. another of the countries worst affected is iran, there has been nearly 6000 confirmed cases. officials there say the death toll has now reached 145. it has been announced that the pope will be streaming as a sunday blessing from

inside the vatican and not from saint peter's square to the coronavirus. the measures have been put in place to avoid people gathering at large events. the pope has been suffering from the court recently. let us get more on how things are developing in italy. we are going to cross to rome and speak to the newspaper reporter. could you give us a sense of how italians are dealing with the coronavirus? what is the attitude like? i have to say that i am in rome, the biggest problems are in northern italy and in some very specific zones, they are considered the places where the infection have spread from. people are worried but there are very mixed

emotions. if you go round room, you don't actually have a bad feeling, but it is much worse in milan were people are following this because today, every day at six o'clock, the manager of the crisis speaks to the country, giving the data. there has been another encouragement to people to follow the instructions. we try not to go to places where there are many people as you mention the fact that the pope himself is not going to make a speech acid and every week. that is that we are advised to avoid crowded places and stay...

they are repeating to elderly people to not go around. try to stay at home, try to stay quarantined because those are the most endangered people at the moment. we understand that some of the figures do... we are reporting that italy is something of a hotspot for europe with such high cases. it has been pointed out was that this is the case because the italian government has been actively going out and testing the local population. how is that been carried out? that is true. from the very beginning, people were advised not to go to emergency units to call their general practitioner and then to follow the instructions. if you have symptoms, you can call different emergency numbers and people would come to you if they

actually think it is the case. they will be tested for the virus. thank you very much. the new chancellor is due to hold his first budget this week when our eyes on what measures you will be announcing to help people through this coronavirus outbreak. there is one separate but expected move, that is the scrapping of the so—called tampon attacks from january of next year. five —— tampon tax. 5% in the d put on two sanitary products for women due to the eu rules. removing that levy will make the pack of 20 tampons 20p cheaper, with 5p, off the cost of 12 pads. since 2015, women in the uk have been £62 million in tax sanitary products. most is passed on to

charities. our political correspondent told us about the implications of this tax cut. it is only a searing if you p on each, but campaigners argue that so many women suffer what we call period poverty and cannot afford to buy the products, adding that tax is making it more difficult for them. this is a long planned move and was there because an eu rule said that the member states, which duty was until we left, could not reduce vat on sanitary products below 5%. now we are leaving and going into the transition period which ends in december this year, the chancellor has confirmed that tax will go in january of next year. you confirm that on the budget in wisely. interestingly though, you talk about the £60 million has gone to these charities who help people cannot afford his products, they are saying that that funding is to be made up somehow because, well be alt

welcoming the move to get rid of the beauty, they say that those charities are going to lose out on that funding. they might well be watching the chancellor on monday seeing if you look further. at the wettest of february on record, insurance companies say that the total pay—out to those affected by flooding will be around £363 million. that will cause damage from storm ciara and ston dennis. the long process of rebuilding begins. communities like these in i am great at helping businesses get back on their feet after a devastating winter floods. if it was not for the people in this community, even as far as... people in this community, even as faras... we people in this community, even as far as... we would not be in a situation we are in now. we started trading this morning. we have been busy all day and it is our local people and it is all people who came

out to supporters and we are genuinely humbled by everything everybody has done. that is still a long and expensive journey ahead. the insurance industry is counting the cost. more than 3000 households are made false claims for an average of £32,000 each. the cost of clearing up and dealing with the aftermath of storm ciara and dennis is £363 million. this is more than triple b floods that hit the midlands last november. but it is known small due to the three successive storms that hit in december of 2015. they hit £1.3 billion pay—out. december of 2015. they hit £1.3 billion pay-out. insurance companies expect dance like this to result in millions of pounds worth of damage. it is what the are used to and what the plan for the true cost is not going to be done for many months, as was badly flooded properties get a chance to dry out and we can assess

the full extent of the damage. several large insurers say that —— talk about how winter floods have hit their business, and with climate change expected to increase floods, managing business is going to become more expensive. —— this risk. rebecca maguire is the owner of the swa n rebecca maguire is the owner of the swan hotel in ironbridge as you joint is no. how are things? we are 0k. it joint is no. how are things? we are ok. it has been a massively emotional roller—coaster over the last few weeks we are just trying to look forward to the future and push on. it has been a stressful time. how were you affected by the floods? we have got to businesses directly next to each other. both have hotel rooms. it has been a huge loss to

was in terms of trading in the last few weeks and having evacuations as well. obviously you have heard of this insurance pay—out. are you going to receive some of that? did you have some insurance? we are covered. our biggest loss will be claiming for business interruption. by claiming for business interruption. by all means, we are already at a loss, but i do not imagine we will have anything near what we actually lost. we have already been told that it is highly doubtful that we will get insurance again. when you are likely to get that money? you need to get the business back up and running. months. i don't imagine it will be soon at all, that is unhealthily casual but we are not sure what we will get. it has certainly left us in quite a difficult position. you said it is unlikely you are going to get insurance or be eligible for it

again. what most do you mind when you hear that? what do you think is like a lot of people would think that flooding does not affect them. we have always accepted where we are, we have had the barriers and it has never been an issue for us, we have not been evacuated before. but now seeing how catastrophic it can be if they won't get scores, we are going to have to work doubly hard over the next two years to ensure we have a back—up. we are going to have to try to put something away and ensure a sound for the future. what was the worst damage that the affected businesses? it is a loss of business. we are —— we have limited flood damage but we were completely evacuated. it is almost two weeks and the road is still close now. it is very off—putting for people.

quickly, what is the local business community viewing? what is the atmosphere like? what are their thoughts? the atmosphere has been incredible. we have had to fight ha rd incredible. we have had to fight hard because we have a lot of staff and that is what has kept us motivated, making sure they can keep theirjobs. we have set up to fundraising event already. they have had a huge amount of response and we have had massive support, so we are staying strong and hoping we can move forwards. we hope greater good will come from it. everyone has pulled together and our fundraisers are for other businesses who have not got flood cover, due to previous floods, and we are helping to get there back off the ground. thank you very much for your time today.

let us turn our attention to events in the middle east and three saudi princes, including the king's in the middle east and three saudi princes, including the kings and brother and nephew, are reported to have been arrested. yet attentions are said to be linked to the country was like a factual riddle. no reason has been given but it is seen as a move to consolidate his power and remove threats to his authority. here is our security corresponded. if confirmed, this would be a significant news —— move by the crown prince to consolidate his position. one of the senior princes reportedly detained as one of the last surviving sons of the country's finder. he is widely respected by all the members of the ruling family. the other senior prince detained was next in line to the throne before he was suddenly replaced three years ago. there has been no immediate official confirmation or denial of the story,

but palace appears in saudi arabia are but palace appears in saudi arabia a re often but palace appears in saudi arabia are often shrouded in secrecy. tensions have flared again between greek police and migrants as they try to get into the european union. tear gas was fired at the greek and turkish border. thousands of migrants have been trying to get into greece since turkey said it would no longer keep them within its territory. turkey claim that the eu as reneged on promises of aid. toucan you know. one of east africa's first community owned elven centuries. it is in the north of the country and it is one of the few reserves in africa to employ women as elephant keepers when we work to rescue, rehabilitate and put orphaned elephants back into the world. —— the wild. 280 kilometres north of nairobi,

welcome to this elephant sanctuary. this is naomi, one of the many female keepers here. elephant sanctuaries are normally run by the state but this one is owned and run by the community, in amongst kenya's second largest elephant population. the babies that we get we have for different reasons, like we have been abandoned. it is not easy for an elephant to abandon a baby but sometimes one of them becomes sick and the mother decides to go. the baby suffers starvation and attack by predators and when people from the community sees this happening they report to us and we decrease the risk to the baby. that is where naomi and her fellow keepers

in, raising, feeding and nurturing the babies and then... when they are three years and eight months old, we will release them back into the wild. being owned by the community means this sanctuary can help form bonds between the locals and the animals in what has not always been an easy relationship. years back, there were problems, but now we have educated these people to stop using harmful instruments to scare the wildlife away. they now use less harmful instruments. conflict has gone down. as well as being community owned, they say they are the first sanctuary to employ women as keepers, giving them an empowering role both in the community and in the care of the special animals. they hope this example will be followed elsewhere. this means naomi and her colleagues are doing their bit not just for

the elephants and community but for women across africa. now, it's time for a look at the weather. another unsettled weekend in store due to a more slipping in and will bring initially wet and windy weather to be west of the country, transferring east overnight. on sunday we have cooler air and what's blustery showers blowing in from the west. sunny in between. the wind will be on the end of the day this evening, heavy rain that will continue to spill eastwards, by the end of the nightly wet and windy weather will be across the eastern pa rt weather will be across the eastern part of the country. for west there will be blustery showers and clear spells. it will be cooler to end the night to mount one for the site at least. on sunday there will be windy and wet weather and then a brighter day for many others, a lot of
