this is bbc news. the headlines: the italian government is preparing to introduce radical new restrictions in an effort to contain the spread of coronavirus. in a draft published in the italian press, the restrictions could include preventing all but emergency travel in and out of the worst affected region of lombardy. all 3500 people aboard the grand princess cruise ship flying off the coast of san francisco are being tested for coronavirus. 21 passengers and crew earlier tested positive for the disease. the authorities will bring the ship to a non—commercial port and quarantined the ship there. turkish president recep tayyip erdogan has ordered his country's coastguard to prevent migrants from crossing the aegean to greek islands. pressure continues at tu rkey‘s islands. pressure continues at turkey's land border with thousands of young men, some escaping the violence in syria, attempting to get to the european union.

the number of coronavirus cases here in the uk has passed 200. 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 are now in isolation. in total, 209 people have 110w isolation. in total, 209 people have now been affected! this country. both of those who died were elderly with underlying health issues. 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. no—one bbc news, our world. for years, i have been reporting on the uk's voracious appetite for illegal drugs. i have watched the market being flooded by cocaine that's cheaper than ever. so i've come to colombia, where 70% of the world's cocaine is produced, to find out why. i'm getting rare access, a chance to meet the cocaine producers in one of the most dangerous places in south america. and to meet the smugglers who are sending the drugs abroad. how many of those shipments would you expect to reach europe?

criminal gangs are killing anyone who stands in their way. those gangs are never far away. some armed men have been spotted nearby. i want to discover what's happening now in colombia that's making cocaine in the uk more available than it's ever been. for 50 years, colombia was home to the world's longest running civil war but in 2016, a historic peace deal was signed with the main rebel group, the farc. a new future was the promise — newjobs, new roads — all negating the need for the farc to produce cocaine to finance their political goals. but just a year after signing the deal, cocaine production reached record levels — up nearly a third to around 1.5 million kilograms. i am heading to an area

where the cocaine trade begins. this road takes me to one of the main cocaine—producing parts of colombia. what i'm hoping to do here is to meet some of the farmers who are growing the coca leaves. colombia has spent billions of dollars eradicating coca plantations, so farms are well—hidden. when you come here, you begin to realise how absolutely professional these criminal gangs must be if they can get a tiny amount of cocaine from these remote areas to the bars and clubs of britain. the peace deal weakened the farc, allowing other criminal organisations and dissident farc members to seize control. abandoning political ideology, the groups make cocaine production more efficient. this is a perfect spot to highlight

the different gangs that are trying to vie for control of cocaine. from this valley, downwards, is controlled by the clan del golfo. behind me, over there, is the eln. this side is the eln as well — different branch. the roads at the bottom, they are are controlled by another group called los caparrapos. after hiking for hours, i arrive at the coca field. how old are you? shouldn't you be in school — wouldn't you prefer to be in school? the peace process promised farmers they'd get help to grow legal crops, roads would be improved

so they could access markets, but of the nearly 100,000 farmers who signed up, more than half are still waiting for any help. does it pay well? all this effort and you can get maybe $150, maybe $220 every two months? these farmers also start the process of turning innocuous leaves into one of the world's most addictive drugs. a shack is well hidden.

this is where i'm told the next stage of the cocaine process happens, and i'm told it's disgusting. i can assure you, it certainly smells awful. first, they add limestone, then ammonia. it's hard to believe that people will snort all these poisons — not to mention the environmental destruction they cause. the chemicals that they are adding will run off down the hill, into the rivers that we have been walking through today. guys, we have to leave. 0k.

there are people coming, there are people coming. some armed men have been spotted nearby. this emphasises how dangerous this entire region actually is. in the dead of night, the young men return and continue the production process. the incident that made us run turned out to be four members of the clan del golfo being arrested by the army. to when we left last night, this was covered and left, so all those leaves become this. it stinks. the next stage is add heat to remove the water and turn it

into pure cocaine paste. then it's sold to the criminal gangs. they have crystallising labs, where they will add more strong chemicals, such as sulphuric acid, and turn this paste into white cocaine powder. so if you could produce more, you would produce more? there's lots of people have been killed in colombia because of cocaine. violence is spreading across colombia. a coca valley in south—west colombia has turned into one of the most

dangerous regions of the country since the peace deal was signed. this is home to the indigenous nasa people. there are nearly 200,000 of them and colombian law grants them the right to rule their ancestral land. they live out here, in these rural areas, in the hills and mountainsides — and this area used to be controlled by the farc. exercising their rights meant that, for decades, the nasa suffered under the farc. but since the peace deal, things have got even worse. as different gangs now compete for territory, the nasa are being attacked from all sides. more than 50 of them were killed last year. the un has described their situation as dire.

wilmer invites me to attend a meeting of some of the victims of the violence but, before we set off, he insists we perform an ancient custom. this is a spiritual ritual that the indigenous tribe perform before they go to anywhere dangerous and, essentially, you have to walk in a certain way towards this circle. under this rock?

record levels of cocaine production are only worthwhile when the drug can reach its foreign market. these roads are of strategic importance. so the reason this area matters to the gangs, the criminal gangs, is not because of what's grown here? throughout the journey, wilmer is nervous, intensely focusing on each vehicle we pass.

it is an uneven fight and ijust wonder why you don't let them use the routes. the consequences of opposing the gangs soon become very obvious. so what happened here then? cristina bautista was a 30—year—old indigenous leader. but her bravery made her a target.

just ten days before my arrival, she was killed alongside her four indigenous guards. we finally arrive at the village of tacueyo. this meeting has been organised by the peace commissioner, forced by a spate of killings to confront a community that feels abandoned by the government. applause. just tell me about cristina.

what sort of person was she? the peace deal was negotiated by the previous president amid opposition from many members of the current government. they have been in powerfor almost 18 months under the leadership of president ivan duque, who has been accused of failing to support the agreement. i grabbed the chance to put the concerns of the nasa people to the peace commissioner. so a lot of people in this area believe the recent violence is a direct consequence of this government failing to stand up for the peace deal. that is — they never said that. they tell that to me. the peace agreement was designed to be implemented in 12 years. we are beginning. we are in the transitional process.

so this is not the reason, the reason is not the trafficking. i don't know if they told you... but... no, absolutely. is this an interview? this is being filmed. is that — are you ok with that? yeah, but i need to be prepared with that because you are asking me questions... 0k. um, right. because we were trying to get an interview with you in bogota next week. yeah. we will do that. but the interview never happened. and with that, off went the government officials by military helicopter, rather than riding the risky, rutted mountain road. the nasa people have their own blue uniformed security guards, of whom canas velasco was one. last february, he was part of an unarmed team that recovered these weapons and arrested eight farc dissidents. the incident made him a target and in october,

the father of six was assassinated in front of his wife. wearing this uniform increasingly requires courage. this man survived the ambush that killed cristina bautista. given what you have seen, and the dangers involved, why do you continue to do this?

the violence is driven by the vast fortunes to be made getting cocaine from the mountains to the markets. this northern part of colombia, by the caribbean coast, is hugely significant for growing bananas. but the huge number of containers needed to send the bananas overseas provides a perfect opportunity for the drug smugglers to send cocaine abroad as well. this is the port of zungo embarcadero, a key smuggling spot. the shallow waters mean containers are carried by tugs to a floating port three hours away, where large ships will take them on to europe. i'm off to meet a man who sends up to a ton of cocaine to europe each month. and he's not the only one. dozens of smugglers use the port, working for different groups, but all paying taxes, access charges, to the clan del

golfo — currently the biggest organised crime group in colombia. how easy is it to transport cocaine out of colombia?

for real?! in any one year, you will try to get 12 shipments to europe. how many of those shipments would you expect to reach europe? how much do you get paid for sending this through? so you make about $150,000 per shipment? and you've been doing this for six or seven years, so you have earned millions doing this.

do you take cocaine? no. why? but others are not so squeamish. colombia's most famous export has never been in greater demand in the uk. before heading to columbia, i met someone who was interested in talking to the farmers. so earlier, i asked you did you know what happened to the coca plant and you said no, so i want you to have a look at this video. in nottingham, meet 25—year—old lewis bradwell. he started taking cocaine as a teenager. what was a regular habit is now an occasional hit, if friends are doing it. he's keen to know about the origins of the drug and readily agrees to chat to the farmers, so we arrange a 6,000—mile conversation about cocaine.

so you never take cocaine yourselves? smart lads. you feel a buzz, a rush, uplifted. you have plenty of energy. you could stay awake for two or three days on end. yeah, afterwards, you feel terrible. you feel crap the next day. i started when i was probably about 19. it's put in front of us everywhere. i've seen it from a young age.

you can't really get away from it. that was the main reason i wanted to stop doing it in the first place, because the cost was through the roof. i would be spending £200 easily — £200, £300 a week — which is your two—month wage, easily, every week, just on cocaine. it's been an eye—opener talking to you both. i am shocked how young you both are. and no—one, at 16 years old, should be dealing with such stresses of getting you 12 years in prison or getting killed by another rival gang.

thanks, guys. some areas of colombia are facing a perfect storm. they feel the government has failed the peace process, allowing new murderous gangs to exploit the vacuum. they, in turn, are eyeing the vast fortunes to be made supplying increasing demand from wealthy foreigners for cocaine. both production and consumption of the drug are at record levels, leaving these communities feeling ignored and helpless.

hello. saturday brought contrasting weather fortunes across the british isles, the south and east. dry for the most part. further north and west, it turned out to be a pretty wet and windy sort of day — notjust on the ayrshire coast either. much of that brought about by this weather front which, through sunday, takes relatively mild air over towards the continent, leaves us with something slightly fresher. the isobars begin to open up a touch but there's still a fairfew of them, so it's a brighter day, yes, but there will be a scattering of showers. no great organisation about them, i suspect. the heaviest of them perhaps out towards the west, and a few more of them as well. but the temperatures just falling back a degree or two from the lofty heights of saturday. and we get into a showery regime to finish off the week but the monday and the tuesday look to be mild and wet and windy. and for all of that, you have to look quite a way out into the atlantic,

but with time, so that system works its way towards the western side of the british isles. monday starts off dry enough. don't be fooled. northern ireland, you cloud up in the morning and here comes that wind and rain, and then that pushes into the west of scotland, widely across the west of england, through wales. some really quite heavy rain in there. and it's driest for longest yet again further towards the east, both in the north—east of scotland and the eastern side of england. you get to see the wind and rain there later on in the day on monday. and then just when you hope that that frontal system will move away, itjust kinks a wee bit there, so we keep the cloud and the rain for the greater part of england and wales. for scotland, northern ireland, something a little bit brighter, but there are plenty of showers to be had across the north and west of scotland on what is going to be a blustery day right across the piste. but that front really makes a difference because across central and southern areas — look at this — 15, 16, possibly 17 degrees! it's not overly cold further north, but you're closer to 8

to about 12 degrees or so because the air is coming in from just south of west and we keep it coming from that sort of direction through wednesday. but the weather front will have moved away, taking the very mildest of the air with it. brighter skies, therefore, for many of us on wednesday but still with a packet of showers across many northern and western areas. much drier, brighter prospect, though, further east, but notjust as mild as was the case perhaps for some of you during the course of tuesday. the second half of the week, as i say, the temperatures just begin to dribble away. no more the 17, but not bad for the time of year.
