kingdom has passed 200. tonight, the family of one of the two patients who died after being affected have spoken of their pain in not being able to grieve as they say they are 110w able to grieve as they say they are now in isolation. in total, 209 people have now been infected in the uk. both of those people who died we re uk. both of those people who died were elderly and with underlying health issues. globally, there are more than 100,000 cases, just over 3500 people have died. the vast majority in china. dominic hughes reports. the second person to die in the uk after being infected by coronavirus is a man in his 80s, who was being treated in hospital in milton keynes. we know he had underlying health problems but there is still some uncertainty over exactly how he fell ill. we don't know yet how the individual patient caught coronavirus. we do know that the individual had been travelling. however, he didn't meet any of the criteria for isolation when he arrived at the hospital. this evening, the family of the patient issued a statement. they said:

so far, 21,460 people have been tested for coronavirus. 209 of those tested were positive. in england, 184 cases have been confirmed. in scotland, there are 16, seven in northern ireland and two in wales. these are still quite small numbers, compared with other countries. in europe, for example, italy, i think it is now up to 4,000 but, nevertheless, it is progressing. and i think as professor whitty said to the health select committee last week that, really, the chances of the uk missing an epidemic now are slim to nil. there are a few anecdotal reports of panic buying. certainly, sales of hand sanitiser seem to have gone up,

but retail experts say there is absolutely no need. stock will only run down if people start to unnecessarily buy in bulk. it now seems that, one way or another, coronavirus is likely to have an impact on the lives of all of us. it's worth pointing out that, for the vast majority of those who are unlucky enough to be infected, most of them will experience very mild symptoms and will make a full recovery. so, how is all of this affecting the behaviour of shoppers here in manchester on a saturday afternoon? has it changed the way i live? yes, the way you go about things? not really, no. we've got some extra hand gel and soap and stuff, so we're washing our hands a bit more. you're washing your hands a bit more, aren't you? i don't like to touch the door handles and everything, so i touch everything with a tissue. and maybe this is a sign of things to come — a big day of sporting action disrupted. at twickenham, warnings were clear outside the ground as england took on wales in the six nations. and the scotland women's six nations

rugby match with france, cancelled because a player has tested positive for the virus. sport's governing bodies and broadcasters are to meet government officials on monday to discuss plans to stage events behind closed doors if the outbreak worsens. and officials warn these are still early days. it's just too early to be able to assess the full impact of coronavirus. dominic hughes, bbc news, manchester. the government has announced plans this evening for new emergency laws in response to the coronavirus outbreak. chris mason explained. this is about planning for the anticipated next stage, bluntly, things getting worse. there are three things i can tell you about. what is about court cases, trying to ensure they can be heard by telephone or video link to ensure the justice system continues if we get into the hearts of and epidemic. the other is about volunteers in health and social care sector. the

government reckons there are about 3 million volunteers already working for the likes of the red cross and stjohn‘s ambulance. what they want to ensure is that they could work for a period of up to four weeks, if they chose to, without risking their dayjob, and they chose to, without risking their day job, and they they chose to, without risking their dayjob, and they are going to talk to businesses about that. the final plan is to ensure that help staff who are retired, he returned to work having reregistered, and do so without any impact on their pensions. now, there isn't going to be legislation that is imminent. it won't happen this week. but i'm told it could happen by the end of this month. all 3500 people aboard a cruise ship off the coast of san francisco are now being tested for coronavirus after 21 crew and passengers earlier tested positive. more than 100 british tourists are aboard, as sophie long reports. a large, empty berth. this is where the grand princess should have docked today. instead, it remains stranded off the coast of california. the lives of those on board left in limbo. the lack of food and information

increasingly difficult to bear. communication is very, very low. we would like to have a bit more information about where we are going and what is happening and when we are likely to get off the ship, we want to know when we are going to be tested and what the test involves. it would be nice to know if they have enough food on board. it is tough for those on the cruise liner who have lost all control of their lives, and tough for those at home, powerless to help. michelle's motherjackie is a board with her friend margaret. michelle's motherjackie is a board with herfriend margaret. both women are in their 70s. michelle wants the government to act quickly and bring them home. when they were told that there were 21 cases of the coronavirus on the ship, and most of them were staff, that is when reality hits last night and she was a very, very tearful on the phone.

these testing kits, which were lowered onto the ship, confirmed at least 21 people on the ground princess had coronavirus. all of the 3500 people on board will now need to be tested. the ships medical crews say they are working to address urgent health needs, and one person may have to be airlifted to hospital. they have come closer to sure to make it easier to get supplies on board, but ultimately, thousands of people still have no idea where they are going or when they will get there. we are joined by webcam by professor arthur rheingold, division head of epidemiology and biostatistics at the berkeley school of public health. thank you so much for joining us, professor. how would you evaluate the government's response to coronavirus so far? well, i think you know we have several levels of government here. we have a national

government, state government, but for public health activities, quite a bit is done at a local health department level. so i would say that they have to look at those somewhat differently, at the local level i think that agencies are doing a phenomenaljob with limited resources . doing a phenomenaljob with limited resources. i think that is also true that the state level. at the federal level, i think it is a mix, the experts at the cdc and nih are doing everything they can. i think some of our political leaders are perhaps not, haven't been quite as helpful as they could have been, but i hope thatis as they could have been, but i hope that is changing. on a practical level, what sort of measures are starting to happen? are large gatherings being cancelled? what sort of things are happening? well, asiam sort of things are happening? well, as i am sure you know, we do have infections in over half the states. we have substantial numbers of cases in seattle, washington. and here in

california, and new york city. so it isa california, and new york city. so it is a little bit different from area to area, but we certainly see exa m ples of to area, but we certainly see examples of universities deciding to stop in person classes and to continue instruction online, at least for a number of weeks or months. we have large gatherings being cancelled, in texas and elsewhere. so quite a few measures are being taken in some limited areas, schools have been closed. i think the response has been quite strong in a variety of areas, but there is still quite a bit to do. and you mentioned that you thought to be messages were a bit mixed from the federal government level. i mean, there is some confusion, isn't there, ever testing kits and quite how many there will be and whether there will be enough? —— over testing kits. i think, there will be enough? —— over testing kits. ithink, clearly, there will be enough? —— over testing kits. i think, clearly, we have certainly got behind a number of other countries with regards to ramping up testing and making that available so we have tested relatively few people in the us. we

expect that change fairly quickly and when more people are tested we certainly expect to see quite a few more cases confirmed here. i think the other problem, frankly, has been that for political reasons, some of the political leaders have tried to underplay this problem, or to say it is all going to go away once the weather warms up, or it is really, you know, nothing we need to worry about. i think that has been a mistake. ok, we have to leave it there was not professor rheingold, many thanks, thank you very much for your time. the italian government says it will adopt emergency measures to contain the spread of coronavirus. it has a draft bill which would stop all travel to or from lombardi, it has a draft bill which would stop all travel to orfrom lombardi, home to 10 million people. 11 other provinces are part of the quarantine area, including around venice, parma and montana. schools and universities they will remain closed until early april, and swimming pools, theatres and museums are to

be shut. doctor elizabeth grappelli isa be shut. doctor elizabeth grappelli is a biologist at st. george's university in london. —— elisabetta grapelli. shejoins university in london. —— elisabetta grapelli. she joins me university in london. —— elisabetta grapelli. shejoins me now. these are quite draconian measures the italian government is imposing? yes, draconian is exactly the words that has been used to define them. they are certainly quite drastic, because restriction of movement is not something we are familiar with. but they are widely considered as the measures that absolutely need to be put in place. and this is because italy has had the most serious outbreak in europe? is that why they seem to be further ahead, if you like, in terms of public health measures? possibly. the numbers are certainly quite high, and they are the highest in europe. and therefore the highest in europe. and therefore the measures for containment need to

be appropriate. i think it is going to be difficult to say if italy is ahead of the other countries, because we don't know, and certainly we do not hope for other countries to reach these numbers. do you have any theory as to quite why it has taken hold in italy in this way? oh, it is very difficult to say, and as a scientist, obviously i have thought about it, and i think it is true for every outbreak. there is a lwa ys true for every outbreak. there is always a biological component and there is a personal component. —— virological component. something specific to individuals. italians do like to travel and they are quite active and there are lots of small businesses. which might have contributed to the spread. however, this is something that will need to be evaluated once the data on the large—scale is gathered, and we can

look back and try to understand exactly what happened. these new measures are now really going to affect a huge number of people, because up until now the quarantine area has come at a pub relation of 50,000 people. —— population. these measures will extended to 16 million? absolutely. there is no reason to think that actually, it is not going to affect every single person in italy. but to be honest i think the situation is that every single person on this planet needs to think about the coronavirus and what needs to be done if an —— at an individual level. so, yes, the measures are draconian, the numbers are large, but the thing that every individual needs to do is still the same. and obviously in some parts of italy this will also mean trying to think about living life differently

for a limited amount of time, because we will get out of this situation, and this involves distance learning, for example. these schools are closed and children are using their tablets and being given homework and pagers to study and people have been trying to encourage to work from home as much as possible, and i think, again, it isa as possible, and i think, again, it is a testament to the situation in italy that businesses and industries can italy that businesses and industries ca n allow italy that businesses and industries can allow to do that and that people are on board and can do it. ok, we have to leave it there. doctor elisabetta groppelli, many thanks. and you can keep up—to—date with all of the developments concerning the coronavirus outbreak including descendants to watch out for on the bbc news app and on our website.

some very look at the headlines in bbc news. it comes as the number of people who have tested positive for the disease in the uk rises to 209. milton keynes hospital is isolating people who came into contact with a man in his 80s, who died of the virus on thursday. in other news, £316 million will be paid by insurance companies to clean up the damage from storms dennis and ciara. time for a full round up from the bbc sports centre. we start with england as they have kept alive the hopes of winning this year's six nations championship after beating wales 33—30 in a fiery matter twickenham. they are now level on points with france who play scotland tomorrow. ireland was my game in italy was postponed due to the coronavirus. adam wild reports.

fans arriving at twickenham and unsure of when this six nations wood and was the busier‘s competition mired in uncertainty. but the most pa rt mired in uncertainty. but the most part they were undeterred because after the precaution and postponement there came the passion, that was never in doubt. this is england against wales, after all. few fixtures in world rugby quite like it. in full flight there were a few players quite unlike anthony watson. power and pace, that is how england love to start. wales couldn't stop him but nor did they let england go entirely. penalties keeping them within touching distance. that was, until england found space outweighed, waiting in the wings, elliott daily. but england had said the halftime toad, here came the wealth response. from the kickoff back they came running from one end of the condemned to the other. it finally fell to the hands

ofjustin separate, to try to take the breath away. 0h, ofjustin separate, to try to take the breath away. oh, my word! england winded? perhaps a little. but their recovery came. it looked like a stroll for the last few minutes, but was anything but was that england had to do it without him, he was sent off and wales made the most of the numbers. the two late tries couldn't get them close enough. so for the wales a 13 consecutive defeat. england take the triple crown and keep alive their hopes of winning this year's six nations. but in the tournament, it faces an uncertain conclusion unknown is quite sure how and indeed when it is actually going to and. adam wild, bbc news at twickenham. well, over the road at the stoop it was quite a different scoreline is england's women thumped and wales 66-7 to england's women thumped and wales 66—7 to claim the triple crown. there were nearly 11,000 people

there and some in fancy dress, too. that is a record for a women's game outside of the cup stop centralising total including this solo effort from katie daly mclean. really impressive stuff. now, liverpool the three wins away from winning the premier league and what would be their first league title in 30 yea rs. their first league title in 30 years. but, it wasn't easy for them today as they had to come from behind to beat struggling bournemouth 2—1. just look at what it means to yergin club as he watched his side secure their 22nd successive league win at anfield. alan wilson opened the scoring for the visitors before goals from mohammed saleh and sadio mane secured the victory. we have 82 points which is really nice and so now we have two fight as we are currently fighting on tuesday and monday and saturday, i think. so thatis

monday and saturday, i think. so that is how it is now. so, yeah, we will have to give everybody who wa nts will have to give everybody who wants the points from us a proper, properfight wants the points from us a proper, proper fight and that is what we did today and yeah, that's it. in the day's other games, arsenal beat west ham. watford are still in trouble after losing to crystal palace. they are surely safe now and 39 points. newcastle also moved close to safety with a win at southampton while wolves beat brighton, burnley and totte n ha m wolves beat brighton, burnley and tottenham drew 1—1. meanwhile, the scottish premiership, lee griffiths scored a hat—trick as celtic extended their lead at the top —— lead at the top to 16 points. neil and his side have now won 12 of their 13 domestic games in 2020. there were also wins today for aberdeen, hamilton and steinjobs. second—place rangers play hoss cou nty second—place rangers play hoss county tomorrow. tennis, johanna

konta has been knocked out of the semifinals of the monterey open. the bit is number one was beaten in straight sets by was cover of the czech republic. konta had any problem that required some strapping and went to toulouse —— to lose 6—3, 6-4. and and went to toulouse —— to lose 6—3, 6—4. and in the penultimate round of the arnold palmer invitational, coping well with the windy conditions and beginning on six under par. well, on a day a few birdies, roy michael roy cutting around 73 committees four under par. that's all the sport. plenty more on the bbc sport website. thank you, katie. turkey's coastguard has been ordered to prevent migrants crossing the aegean sea greek islands because

of the dangers involved. but prices have occurred at the border with police firing tear gas at migrants. last week, turkey's president erdogan said he was considering what's next. a desperate tug of war at europe's gate. migrants, struggling to cross from turkey to greece, try to pull down the fence. 0thers attempt to cut through the barbed wire, while greek forces push them back with a water cannon. those stuck in the no man's land are trying to find any way they can to cross. all the people, they say free, go. border is open. but i come here, no. there is not food, there is nothing. just over a week ago, after mounting tensions with the eu over the syrian crisis, turkey's government said it would let migrants cross. greece has said they won't let migrants in. turkey has claimed greece's actions

violate human rights. greece says turkey is using desperate people as political pawns. on friday, turkey's president erdogan stopped migrants crossing via the sea, saying it's too dangerous. but on land, there seems to be no change to the stand—off. caroline davies, bbc news. after the wettest february on record, the association of british insurers says the total value of pay—outs to people hit by recent flooding will be around £360 million. meanwhile, some affected businesses are starting to fade again. here is our business correspondence katie prescott. —— trade again. the long process of rebuilding begins. communities like these in ironbridge are helping businesses get back on their feet after devastating winter floods. if it wasn't for the people in this community, the people of ironbridge, coalbrookdale, further on into telford, even as far as far away as australia, we wouldn't be in this situation we are in now. we started trading this morning.

we've been busy all day and it's all local people, it's all the people that came out to support us and we are genuinely humbled, by everything everybody‘s done. but there's still a long and expensive journey ahead. the insurance industry is also counting the cost. more than 3,000 households have made flood claims, for an average of £32,000. the cost of clearing up and dealing with the aftermath of ciara and dennis is £360 million. that's more than triple the damage from floods which hit the midlands and south yorkshire last november, but still relatively small compared to the cost of three successive storms, desmond, eva and frank, which hit in december 2015. they cost £1.3 billion. insurers expect storms like this to result in millions of pounds' worth of damage. it's what they're used to,

it's what they plan for and, actually, the true cost is not going to be down for many months, as those badly flooded properties get a chance to dry out and we can assess the full extent of the damage. several large insurers have recently said how winterflood claims are hitting their businesses. and with climate change expected to increase the number of floods in the uk, managing this risk is only going to become more expensive. katie prescott, bbc news. duke and duchess of sussex attended one of the final public engagement before they stepped back a senior royals. the pictures we have attache contain a lot of flash photography. the couple attended the mountbatten festival of music at the royal albert hall. the festival brings together world—class musicians, composers and conductors of the bands of her majesty royal marines. and we will be taking a little in—depth look at the papers with our

reviewers joe twyman from data in—depth look at the papers with our reviewersjoe twyman from data pole and ruth believe from barbara plot banking. that is coming after 11:30pm. now it is time for a look at the weather. here is phil avery. thanks. i was at the royal albert hall last night, if you haven't been, it is really worth a visit. where you shouldn't have been today, if you had a choice was the western side of scotland because it was pretty miserable fare. 60 millimetres of rain falling there are still raining on one or two spots and very windy as well. was it all doom and gloom? no it wasn't. but you had to be a little bit further south and east. and the further south and east. and the further south and east. and the further south the longer your day was greater in because without much further away from this weather front which brought all the cloud and wind and rain, gusts at 50 miles an hour or so and rain, gusts at 50 miles an hour orso and we and rain, gusts at 50 miles an hour or so and we still have got a pretty windy prospect was up is because that saturday move gently on into the wee small hours of sunday, the combination in fact, if you are still with me at the moment, well, give it a few hours and you're

asleep, that might just give it a few hours and you're asleep, that mightjust rattle the windowpanes as those gusts come out further south and east. moderate for the most part and as we get into the first part of sunday, well, not a cold night by any means at all because we have got the reason the cloud and rain as well. does make the breeze and. it's a mixture of sunny spells and showers, and a great organisation by any chance, we have a lot of mini france gaining together as they do. some spots could mist them all together. this i was keep coming through the evening and the first part of the night, they may well just and the first part of the night, they may welljust begin to die out in some spots later in the note, a little ridge of high pressurejust begins to w. that could clear the sky sufficiently, there will be a touch of rust in the highs of scotland. it is a cooler start to monday and a dry one, too. but don't expect it to last. suddenly

christensen and western parts of the showers because we have not won, but two systems on the way towards us. we will use one up on monday and the other one comes through on tuesday. so there is a dry start. quite a bright one across eastern areas and asi bright one across eastern areas and as i say, a frosty one as well. but don't bank on it lasting through northern ireland, western side of scotla nd northern ireland, western side of scotland and england, much of wales, really some quite heavy rain here and the met office already have a yellow warning starting at midday on monday and running to do midday on tuesday, talking about the insurers concerned about flood risk, that could be another 18 millimetres of rain following on the ground —— 18. what do there could be is a very mild day indeed. —— what tuesday good be. could be 16, 17, 18, good be. could be16,17,18, really? have to leave it there. doctor elisabetta groppelli, many thanks.
