rachel cunliffe from city am and the former labour adviser miatta fahnbulleh. good evening. there's been a sharp rise in the number of deaths from the coronavirus in italy, where sweeping quarantine measures have been imposed. 366 people now have died, up by more than 100 injust one day. there's also been a big jump in the total number of infections, up by a quarter, to 7,375 the highest figure outside of china. the vast majority of deaths and infections have been in the lombardy area, where along with 1a other provinces, around 16 million people have now been quarantined. 0ur correspondent, mark lowen, is just outside the quarantined zone in bologna and sent this report.

like a scene from a nightmare that italy is now living. sealed inside, a 62—year—old man, fallen to the virus. he's been contained. the outbreak hasn't. he's transported to hospitals, stretched to the limit. this is the human cost of a disease that has taken hold so fast, infecting, then incapacitating within days. translation: it's really is very difficult. we're exhausted. we've got so many patients, a lot more than the number we're used to managing. we are having to move some patients to another hospital just so we can cope. medics say corridors are being used for intensive care units, and one of the world's best healthcare systems is near breaking point. the surge in cases has now prompted the most drastic restrictions here since the second world war.

italy's financial capital, milan, is bare, virtually locked down, along with 1a provinces. a quarter of the population, quarantined. everyone returning to the uk from the area must now self—isolate. italy's second city, usually teeming with life, is hushed, access in or out strictly limited. schools and universities are shut until april. cinemas, pools and nightclubs, too. the prime minister talked of a crisis. translation: we are facing an emergency, a national emergency, taking exceptional precautionary measures, and we are facing it with great awareness. venice is part of the restricted area, one of italy's tourism jewels, deserted by a mixture of quarantine and fear. as we drove north from rome, we expected tighter controls.

but there are none. we are coming into the start of modena now. part of the new exclusion zone. you can see there's no total lockdown. there are no police roadblocks, for example. it's too big an area to control in that way. but people are being asked not to leave or enter. we are going to turn around now, because otherwise there is a risk of entering the new quarantine zone. at the vatican, decades of tradition were broken, as the pope made his sunday blessing by video stream, rather than at the window, to a st peter's square usually filled with thousands. faith that this will pass is sorely lacking. mark lowen, bbc news, northern italy. in the last hour, it's been announced that a third person has died in the uk after contracting the coronavirus. the man who was in his 60s was being treated at north manchester general hospital after travelling in italy,

and he had a number of underlying health problems. it comes after a big jump in confirmed cases. the department of health says 273 people have now been diagnosed with the coronavirus, up by more than 60. the number of people who've died, is now 3. borisjohnson has urged shoppers not to stock up on supplies that they don't need, as supermarkets such as tesco, begin rationing some food and household items, because some people are buying too much. here's chris mason the man whose death was announced tonight was being treated at a specialist infectious diseases unit at this hospital in manchester. like the other two deaths in the uk, the patient had underlying health conditions, and therefore was among those at the highest risk. 0n the day of the biggest rise yet in the number of cases here, a big challenge. how do we as a society react? what is a rational response?

tesco has joined some other retailers in putting limits on the quantity of some items that an individual shopper can buy, and the prime minister insists there is no need to panic. 0n, you know, the people's responses to the news and buying in shops and all of that, we've had no advice from the scientific advisors or the medical officers that there's any need for people to buy stuff in. those who study how supermarkets make sure they have enough of the things we want say their systems are designed to cope with moments like this. whilst there might be empty shelves at the moment in the shops, over the next week or so, you will see them start to replenish. the supply chain will start to deliver stuff through to the stories, and, hopefully, this shortage that is fairly short term will clear and everything will be back to normal again. in the midst of all of this, the new chancellor will deliver his first budget on wednesday.

we're looking very hard at the range of scenarios, and making sure that, in each of those, we can respond appropriately, and that means providing support for public services, and we have already done that with regard to the nhs, making sure we can support vulnerable people, and also making sure we can help businesses get through what could be an impact on their businesses that could be significant, but for a temporary period of time. labour say there was already a crisis in health and social care before the nhs was stretched even further. for the government, for society, for each of us, covid—19 is posing big questions. chris mason, bbc news. in the united states the number of infections has also risen, with almost 500 cases of the coronavirus now confirmed. 19 people have died. most of those deaths have been in the state of washington, linked to a care home just north of seattle. families say vulnerable relatives have been left trapped inside under quarantine. from seattle, chris buckler reports.

more than a dozen patients at this care home have already died and dozens of others have been confined to their rooms inside a building that's at the centre of america's deadliest outbreak of the coronavirus. and some, like susan hayley, are showing symptoms of being infected. it feels like prison, it feels like there's a gun to our head. susan's daughters aren't being allowed to visit herfor their own health. they've only been able to see their mother by standing outside the closed window of her room. i feel like the worst daughter in the world. i really do. because i can't help her. i'm sure that most every person that's in there will test positive, but it's a wait and see. a lack of availability of testing kits has hindered america's response to what has become a health crisis.

as the number of cases rises, so does the concern. the authorities admit they that haven't been able to test everyone that's showing symptoms. in reality that means they believe hundreds, if not thousands, are carrying the virus here in the greater seattle area. this is a city that's beginning to feel stalked by covid—19. businesses, schools and universities have told people to work from home, but every day thousands gather in places like seattle's famous pike place market and while they're encouraging people to wash their hands, that can only do so much. i think shutting down schools is a good idea, but i don't really know how much you can prevent the spread of it in a city like seattle. the majority of deaths so far have been linked to the kirkland life care centre. but carmen can't go in and her mother can't leave. she's trapped in this petri dish and that's waiting for her to be

sick enough to take her out of here again. containment is clearly a concern but contagion is a deep fear for all the vulnerable living here. chris buckler, bbc news, seattle. officials have now decided that the cruise ship, the grand princess, which has been stranded off the coast of california, will be allowed to dock at 0akland, near san francisco on monday. 21 people have tested positive. the future remains uncertain for the 140 britons on board the grand princess — a cruise ship circling off the californian coat after tests confirmed 21 cases of coronavirus. we can talk to one of it's passengers warren rockett — explain your situation. warren, what do you know about what is going to happen? we're just receiving an announcement and speak from the captain, that they are bringing some medical staff on board the ship later this afternoon.

before we arrived in oakland california, at the containment port sometimes tomorrow. and if they are then testing you, do you know what is going to happen? we have been told through the government officials and the captain that decisions have been made about us national ‘s, both foreign in california and elsewhere. we received no real information yet about international travellers, other than to say that about two hours ago, the foreign and commonwealth office for the first time since wednesday when this outbreak started have made some thing with passengers on the ship. that is three days or more since... that is three days or more since... that is three days or more since... that is a shame we lost that contact

with warren rocket that he was making a point and i know he was speaking to a colleague of mine earlier, that he was feeling disappointed that he hadn't heard much from the foreign and common office in contrast to what he —— what they heard from canadian authorities so they had a variety of input from governments around the world, shall we say. but as he rightly pointed out, we have had a response recently this evening from the foreign office, regarding the situation in the grand princess. it said we are working intensively with the us authorities on arrangements for a flight for british nationals who are currently on the grand princess cruise ship off the coast of california. he goes on...

we will try and make contact again with warren rocket on his situation but in the meantime, it is worth noting that coronavirus is likely to be featuring very heavily on tomorrow's aren't pages and you can catch up with those in the papers with our reviewers rachel cunliffe from city am is the former labour advisor who is now at the new economics foundation, a left—leaning think tank. that is coming up at 1130. the headlines on bbc news: the foreign office is advising against all but essential travel to a number of areas in northern italy. 16 million people there are being placed in quarantine for a month because of the virus. a third person has now died in the uk after contracting the virus, after the biggest 1—day jump in confirmed cases. france bans gatherings of more than a thousand people — in order to try and contain the virus.

sport now, and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. good evening. scotland have stunned the six nations favourites france, by beating them 28 points to 17 at murrayfield. the result keeps england's title hopes alive. joe wilson reports. bravery, that is expected at murrayfield, wherever you stand. just a gentle breeze. but rugby requires control. france began with it. from the boot to the wing, perfect. so to the brawl. if you are a match official you see everything with replays but a punch, that cannot be overlooked. that is the first half red card with one man missing there were gaps in the

french defence, if scotland could find them. like this to now the wise heads were smiling to they were watching a confident scotland, rampant scotland, a winning scotland to the second half or two more scottish tries to seal the victory. france arrived unbeaten into edinburgh. who knows how or when the six nations will and that scotland have their performance to remember. manchester is red after united beat their rivals city in the premier league for the second time this season. two cracking goals from anthony martial and scott mctominay move 0le gunnar solskjaer‘s side up to fifth, leaving jurgen klopp's liverpool knowing that they only need two more wins to clinch their first league title in 30 years. adam wild reports. there may only be a few short miles between them but these neighbours remain anything but friendly. a derby that or a day divides a city.

this is manchester and this one a lwa ys this is manchester and this one always matters. manchester city here on hostile ground, the first to try their luck. they could not find any, not yet. instead, united crafted their own fortune. a clever kick and marshall did the rest. united were ahead but before halftime feeling agreed. fred was booked here for diving to replay suggests it could have been a penalty to finally some luck for city to going forward they we re luck for city to going forward they were still having non—. 0n luck for city to going forward they were still having non—. on this derby day, united would have the final word and once again city's keeper played his part to a misplaced throw and the chance was taken. it is that passion that matters on occasions like this and this one belonged to united. in the day's early kick—off, chelsea boosted their hopes of finishing in the top four after thrashing everton 4—0. it was a day to forget for everton

manager carlo ancelotti, who was returning nine years after being sacked by the club. rangers won 1—0 at ross county in the scottish premiership. steven gerrard's side are now 13 points behind leaders celtic with a game in hand. england have picked up a much needed win in the she believes cup. it was six defeats in nine for phil neville's side going into the game in newjersey but they've tonight beaten 2011 world champions japan in newjersey. manchester city's ellen white scored the only goal of the game with just six minutes to go. all top flight matches in italy were today played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus outbreak. juventus against inter milan, one of the biggest matches of the season, took place in front of no fans. in what was a surreal atmosphere, wales midfielder aaron ramsey was on the scoresheet asjuve won 2—0 to move to the top of the table. tyrell hatton has won his first title on the pga tour. the englishman won byjust one stroke in the arnold palmer invitational at bay hill. there was plenty for the players to contend

with on the florida course but hatton safely managed to negotiate the hazards and the wildlife to finish on four under par and lift the title. world number one rory mcilroy finished tied fifth. i would not fancy meeting that alligator on the greens. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. boris johnson has been visiting the town of bewdley in worcestershire, which was badly hit by recent flooding. but while much of the crowd was good humoured, some said he should have come sooner. here's robert hall. hello. i'm boris. in a town at risk of flooding for generations, any message of reassurance from westminster is welcome. residents, still counting the cost of the winter storms, finally had a chance to put their case.

the highest river level since 19117 saw over 1000 homes and businesses flooded in the severn valley, a continuing threat while the water table remains saturated. mrjohnson was criticised for his failure to appear at the time. prime minister, are you about two weeks too late? today, at a residents' meeting, he brought news of increased investment and the promise that things would change. i want to see some work done. so i think we're at the beginning. this visit did give the prime minister a chance to inspect the temporary flood barriers that sprang up here and in all those areas most at risk. they were largely successful, but he acknowledged that with any increase in spending should come a change in tactics. the thing we have to look at is the rules which currently say that you can't put in permanent defences when you've only got a small number of households potentially affected.

0ur neighbours' sewage, shall we say... edward cownd is still living in chaos after filthy river water and sewage poured through his home. he said mrjohnson's visit had lifted spirits. it's really positive today to see the local mp and borisjohnson, which was a real surprise. and it does feel positive. and the overriding slogan by the end was get bewdley done. yes, get bewdley done. mrjohnson's short stay in bewdley was accompanied by smiles and blue skies. but along the banks of the uk's rivers, communities know full well that long—term plans can't protect them from the next spell of bad weather. robert hall, bbc news, bewdley. events have been taking place around the world to mark international women's day. in london, thousands of people joined a march through westminster. in chile, protesters gathered in the capital santiago demanding abortion rights, and an end to violence against women. and across pakistan, there were marches in several cities, despite threats of violence.

the duchess of sussex in one of her last formal royal engagements, has urged men to do more to respect women. she was speaking during a surprise visit to a school in east london, ahead of international women's day. last night, she appeared alongside her husband prince harry, at an event at the royal albert hall. this report from nicholas witchell, contains flash photography, from the start. cheering take a good look, because we won't be seeing much more of this for a while. the duke and duchess of sussex, last night, at the royal albert hall, still introduced as "their royal highnesses" and still very much looking the part. harry was making a final appearance as captain general of the royal marines, complete with gold braid, medals and honours. for her part, meghan is leaving formal royal life with a strong endorsement of a cause about which she feels deeply — the rights of women.

a couple of days ago, she visited a school in dagenham to make a speech timed for international women's day today. these were issues, she said, which were relevant every day and to every person, and she had a particular message for men. ijust encourage and empower each of you to really stand in your truth, to stand for what is right, to continue to respect each other, for you young men, to continue to value and appreciate the women in your lives and also set the example for some men who are not seeing it that same way, right? you have your mothers, sisters, girlfriends, friends in your life, protect them, make sure they are feeling valued and safe. the speech went down well, the speaker was appreciated. she really is beautiful, innit? cheering

to know that the duchess of sussex wanted to come to our school really makes me think, i'm in the best place i can be. and i'm in the best position i am to be able to do the best i want to do in life, and really fulfil my potential. so i feel like it's really inspired me and all the students from robert clack to just do their best, and to really achieve it, because we're important. the school produces people that want to change the world. to have that recognised that some where that the duchess of sussex want to come to for national women's day is an amazing thing. tomorrow, harry and meghan will make their final appearance, for now, with the queen at westminster abbey. after that, the great experiment of their new supposedly non—royal life will begin in canada. nicholas witchell, bbc news. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers rachel cunliffe from city am and the former labour advisor miatta fahnbulleh, who's now at the new economics foundation, a left—leaning think tank — that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for a

look at the weather. the weather was very conducive to taking photographs today, as indeed our weather watchers did in many hundreds. whether you want to be out on the weather to take pictures over the next few days remains to be seen. as we start monday, cold crisp ride and dry for the most part, a couple of showers around a little car scraping across the east of scotla nd car scraping across the east of scotland and england as well to i emphasise the dry first. it is not going to last, you have been around long enough to know that as soon as i say something like that i am going to rob you of that sunshine quickly. in northern ireland there will be more rain to come through the morning and then by mid afternoon western scotland much of western england and wales as well. heavy rain in there and that is part of the problem that we have identified

to the east should stay dry, perhaps you could try a line of washing. make the most of monday because it stays pretty wet through the latter pa rt stays pretty wet through the latter part of monday and indeed on tuesday because we have another set of weather fronts coming into the articulate across the high ground, the met office have warnings out at this range already, the high ground of wales, 90 millimetres of rain and not far behind the north—west of england did there could be issues with flooding again to tuesday, another blustery day as well did 30, 40, 50 another blustery day as well did 30, 40,50 mile an hour quite widely but the wind is coming from the south—west and if the cloud should p0p south—west and if the cloud should pop and quite often does in this sort of scenario across eastern parts, protected from those south—westerly, 15, 16 may be given 17 degrees with a bit of sunshine. as we move into wednesday the weather front will slump away allowing sunshine to come on through. despite the fact that we are behind the weather front, the temperature will not drop back that much. it will not be 17 but we could

still see 14 degrees or so in the south of england did it but the showers keep coming across scotland and northern ireland and another blustery day here. you mean when spend —— the mean wind speed there. and that will drag cold air from a loft down to the lower areas hence stuck at seven, eight, 9 degrees. moving into the second half of the week this feature will eventually allow cool air to dominate across the british isles and we get a taste of monday's temperature into thursday and then there will be plenty of showers around by that stage, especially, again, wintry across the high ground of scotland and northern ireland, perhaps far north of england as well. more information, as always on the 00:27:47,454 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 weather website.
