u; r—nunflrr ., unsettled, rain, showers, remain unsettled, rain, showers, actuating temperatures and windier times. we will turn our attention to the jetstream, that fast flowing ribbon ofair the jetstream, that fast flowing ribbon of air in the atmosphere which drives the weather and it's coming straight at us, acting like a conveyor belt and sending low pressure systems are way. heavy rain through mid wales which prompted the met office to issue an amber warning to monday. tuesday, the rain eases. showers feeding and elsewhere but a lot of fine, dry weather. dry towards the southern half of the uk and windier across the board. when we get to see cloud breaks, we could see temperatures of 16 or 17 as the south—westerly wind draws on milder hour. a trailing weather front lingers down towards the south of the uk, bringing outbreaks of rain overnight into wednesday, gradually starting to clear away. the winds ease elsewhere where here, it remains windier with further up

weeks of rain and it will be that bit colder. two wednesday, quite a different feel to scotland. showers wintry ohio ground initially but even do some lower levels later in the day. milder hour in place down towards the southern half of the uk towards the southern half of the uk to temperatures once again reaching highs of to temperatures once again reaching highs 01:14, possibly for dean celsius with one or two showers here 01’ celsius with one or two showers here or there. as we head out of wednesday into thursday, cooler conditions gradually filter further south. low pressure still in charge of breezy day to come on thursday the case of sunny spells and showers. mainly favouring western areas, it has to be said not exclusively. a blustery day with spells of sunshine temperatures noticeably down on where they have been, around about average for the time of year. through thursday and into friday, looking at this developing area, a bit of

uncertainty surrounds it. high—pressure it looks as though we will see reaching which should help to settle things down on monday. lighter winds. the chance of an isolated shower but many places will remain dry. temperature—wise, very similarto remain dry. temperature—wise, very similar to thursday's values, still quite cool, certainly to tuesday's values but around about average for the time of year. as we head into the time of year. as we head into the weekend, another developing feature which looks as though it will bring a spell of rain on saturday. working its way in from the west, moving eastwards. macy snow over the high ground, clearing out towards the east, leaving some bright or sunny intervals in the charts wanted to showers. a breezy day and temperatures still about average for the time of year. a bit further into the following week. back to the jetstream. it looks as though it meanders further north and

if this happens, it will allow high—pressure to be more of a player in our weather, something we've not seen for a while. it will initially start early unsettled but will begin to see quieter interludes appear. helping to settle things down a little. stay tuned to the forecast. goodbye for now. hello. this is bbc news with clive myrie.

we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first, the headlines. the italian prime minister has declared movement is to be restricted throughout the country. all public gatherings there are to be banned. here, a fifth person has died from coronavirus, as the number of cases overall reaches 319. borisjohnson says the government's containment phase of its response remains in place. stock markets around the world have fallen sharply over concerns about the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak, and fears of a price war among oil producers. in edinburgh, the trial‘s begun of alex salmond, the former first minister of scotland, on charges of sexual assault and attempted rape. he denies the charges. prosecutors in the united states say prince andrew has completely shut the door on co—operating with investigators working on thejeffrey epstein case. the future of thousands of steelworkers in the north—east of england could be secure after a chinese company completed its takeover of british steel.

and harry and meghan have made their final appearance as working members of the royal family at a commonwealth day service at westminster abbey. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn kampfner and olivia utley. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the pages are already in. coronavirus is spreading all over the coronavirus is spreading all over the front pages and inside as well. here are some of the made headlines. the daily mail: the chief medical officer will tell people to ta ke medical officer will tell people to take a week off work if they show symptoms. self isolation, says the

daily telegraph. britain gets ready for a significant rise in the number of cases. the expresses the same story. new advice will be issued in a fortnight. the total number of cases it's 319. metro, tech firms tackle virus liars, the likes of google, facebook and twitterjoin forces with the nhs to fight take news on covid—19. the guardian, the biggest stock market falls since 2008 with the coronavirus and fears over it tricking panic selling, 125 billion pounds wife of the ftse 100 billion pounds wife of the ftse100 ina single billion pounds wife of the ftse100 in a single day. the financial times, oil price plunge sends tremors through global markets as russia and saudi arabia embark on an oil price war. a lot of cheery stock price to discuss. blimey. the front

page of the times, john. global markets plunge amid coronavirus spheres, biggest falls since 2008, billions wiped off share values, the whole of italy and the town. armageddon. it's extraordinary. every day becomes more apocalyptic and this is very much the economic and this is very much the economic and financial and of the problem. the question we were discussing an hour or so ago the question we were discussing an hour 01’ so ago was, the question we were discussing an hour or so ago was, is this a reflection of a temporary crisis, temporary panic, temporary contraction in pretty much every country's economy. and therefore, all global markets, or is this particular when you add onto structural wea knesses particular when you add onto structural weaknesses which have been existing now for some time, a start of a major in prolonged global

recession and we will know that soon but if today is repeated, any time $0011 01’ but if today is repeated, any time soon or consistently over the next several days, we are going to be in a lot of trouble and that includes people who have, in the uk, who have pensions need to redeem them now or in the next six or 12 months. i've suddenly found 25% of what they were hoping to cash in on and to save wiped out and that's real life. excuse me. one thing in the times i thought was particularly % when it says the share price of virtually every uk listed company fell, an exception at one point yesterday was dignity which arranges funerals although it later fell as well. interestingly, the only other company doing quite well from this, a company which provides on line

video conference calls. it's incredibly predictable, basically. what about the folks who make facemasks? lupe, they should be doing really well. and paracetamol. the problem when it comes to the markets, they don't seem to have confidence the world's big economies are able to deal with this. no, and it's not really surprising that they don't, considering what donald trump's angle has been which is that it's all a hoax, he just seems to be, that is his message, is determined to bury his head in the sand and hoped that it all blows over. meanwhile, the cases of coronavirus in the us are going up, it's doubled in the last couple of days so it's not really surprising

the markets have been a bit shaky about the global world leading economies and how they are dealing with the crisis is also something that went on at the peak of this. yes, in south korea, where healing —— hearing about cases falling for the first time since the up and in china, only 40 new cases today which is better than january but china, only 40 new cases today which is better thanjanuary but in europe, i read a long piece by an eminent epidemiologist saying we're not going to reach the peak until around easter so the market is preparing for that and it's been factored into this panic. if you go to the front page of the financial times, oil price plunge sends tremors to battered global markets. mark smith, he knows hell of a lot more about bugs in things than i ever will and he says we haven't heard about cases in the southern hemisphere. that's a very big point.

it's dry down there, it's summer. what tends to happen is that you will get a rise in moisture in the air content and that is what kills the bug or kills the virus. singapore, to be true, which is right on the equator. i was born there. indeed, indeed. iworked there. indeed, indeed. iworked there for four years, fabulous place. great food. the point is that while the crisis might end here in the northern hemisphere, come wintertime down there, it will pick up wintertime down there, it will pick up again. but conversely, when it gets warmer, if it ever gets warmer here in written and stops raining.|j can't imagine the moisture content being any higher. that's what i said to mark and he said if you look at the graphs, moisture content in winter and summer, there is a marked difference which is apparently what kills the bug in white will he can

six weeks' time or whatever and it will tail off. back to the ft? let's do some work. the oil price. this in and of itself would have sent the markets tumbling. the two major oil producers, saudi arabia and russia, absolutely at each other‘s groups which has all kinds of repercussions for middle east policy generally. russia and turkey. the news is so fascinating because it's relative. russia's spat with turkey would have been front—page news, saudi arabia's. in russia, roots refusing to cut production. where there was an attempted coup, problems with the royal family of the last several

days and saudi arabia, that country has long been shaky and if saudi arabia goes up in smoke politically, those two countries cannot cut production at a time when demand is low because people are not lying or using energy which is obviously good for the environment. so those two countries are not cutting production. you have overproduction and market forces. therefore prices will sink if those two countries do come together and agree on prices, you will see the oil markets stabilise in the may help the global markets stabilise but it may not. the big losers frankly in this, i don't expect any of the oil producers are going to win this, it's a race to the bottom but as far as the shale gas producers in the united states are concerned, they

can survive with oil price around $40 of barrel. saudi arabia which has loads of resolves —— reserves in they need the oil price to be higher. that's not the case in the united states with his producers. if oil prices are below $40 of barrel, and they are now $30 a barrel, they are screwed. that's notjust then going to the wall, that is donald trump going to the wall when it comes to the election in november. that's the thing, we then saying it's been donald trump's election to lose for a long time now but this really isjust, lose for a long time now but this really is just, no—one lose for a long time now but this really isjust, no—one was lose for a long time now but this really is just, no—one was expecting this and if he's the one is caused small businesses in the us to plummet, and he's going to in real trouble because always, whenever people start questioning some of his stranger decisions abroad, particularly, goes back to, the economy in the us is driving and if it starts not to thrive, then he can

be in trouble and if one of these people who wins the primary scheme capitalise on it, they genuinely do stand a chance of winning so it's just amazing how quickly this story has turned around the american election in weeks. and it seems the markets are factored in the incompetence of the american administration in dealing with this crisis because there doesn't seem to be a clear plan. not enough test kits, not enough transparency about what is actually going on in terms of the numbers in relation to those who may have been infected. but that is part of the problem here that the markets don't have confidence that global leaders are on top of this all heartedly. absolutely. and so you have the situation in the united states, this whole process began in china and china was completely caught off guard. the leadership there, because

it is so authoritarian, xi jinping has rowed back many of the reforms that were there before, it is very ha rd that were there before, it is very hard line, but it is still quite precarious in terms of that there had always been a position that china needed to grow 8% a year in gdp. another person who could be looking over his shoulder is vladimir putin because rosser is com pletely vladimir putin because rosser is completely dependent, russell pretty much has nothing else apart from oil and gas. —— russia. it is an energy based economy, and even when oil prices go down to better levels than now, things have looked a bit dodgy for him. we could be looking out all kinds of ripple effects, all kinds of repercussions over the next 6—12

months and we haven't even discussed europe yet. no, we haven't a bit of a sojourn over to europe, to the united states by way of rosser and al—bashir. the daily express —— russia. the whole of italy put on lockdown, stock splines. this is the suggestion from government medical advisors, that in the next week — ten days, maybe a bit longer, two weeks, if you do have even the mildest cold or modest respiratory infection, and you are feeling a bit funny, self isolate. yeah, ithink thatis funny, self isolate. yeah, ithink that is a very good idea apart from anything else because it stops panic from flowing. someone had a dry cough in my office today and everyone was giving them such a wide berth. you can imagine feeling a bit ofa berth. you can imagine feeling a bit of a tickle and you know... then

everyone goes into a total panic. i noticed today for the first time that the world health organization has put together a graph showing the different symptoms between coronavirus, cold and flu. it was the first time i have seen that and i think it was quite useful. i think it should be spread quite widely. if you have a runny nose, you are unlikely to have coronavirus. if that got probably out there, that would help a lot of people not panic —— properly. would help a lot of people not panic — — properly. but would help a lot of people not panic —— properly. but i think it seems quite a sensible idea. the uk seems relatively sensible. boris johnson and chris whitty are are determined not to create panic unnecessarily because of all of the panic that would cause and is causing, but are keeping this very clear, transparent, public health advice coming out all the time. so it seems relatively sensible. people don't

seem to know anywhere how to calibrate in terms of... look at italy, how it has ramped up totally. and people were on holiday a week ago and slides are still flying and here, people are not sure whether they should shake hands, embrace each other, just carry on as normal 01’, each other, just carry on as normal or, you know, various isolated incidents of panic buying. and the general view, which i often have expressed, is more people so far die in any average year from ordinary flu than has been the case so far. yes. and that is true, but if it increases exponentially over the next several days... i increases exponentially over the next several days. .. i think it's a tricky one because the government has to find a policy which works for the average brits but the thing

about this virus is a chunk of the population is absolutely terrified of it. you know, really, really panicking, washing their hands every other second and telling people they have got to go home. a friend of mine hasa have got to go home. a friend of mine has a boss who told them all to work from home for the foreseeable future. then there are other people being far too cavalier about it and the government has to come up with a policy that stops the panic is panicking and robs the people being too blase a little worked up stuff that calibration is very, very important indeed. now, tech firms fight virus lies. google, facebook and twitterjoin fight virus lies. google, facebook and twitter join forces fight virus lies. google, facebook and twitterjoin forces with the nhs. underlying this is actually really interesting questions, which in the sort of media technology world has been hotly debated for the last, well, as long as these companies have been in existence. which is in facebook‘s term not that

long. which is, are they a publisher 01’ long. which is, are they a publisher or not and do they bear responsibility for what is put out on their platforms? they have always insisted, sometimes slightly bizarrely, that they are not responsible for it, that they are not publishers. and yet at the same time whether it is terrorism, whether it is self harming or all kinds of things, they are on the case. and when there was a whole question of russian infiltration and bots during the european elections and other elections, facebook sort of presented its dublin office as the great sort of... so, they are in all but name admitting that they are responsible and they are publishers. well, they have two. the public health's is at stake here. it's an interesting one because once they started doing this, once they start saying we will waiting when people

are spreading fake news on social media —— wade in, then why when people are spending libellous content, what possible justification can they have that they are any different from a newspaper —— spreading. a slippery slope for them. zinc, apparently, some are saying it may boost your immune system but scientists say it won't do anything to stop the coronavirus. laughter. nova cocaine, so, certainly not to stop a virus anyway. —— not cocaine. thank you for your time and do you for watching —— thank you to our reviewers enter for watching. 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. goodbye. good evening, i'm chetan pathak with your latest sports news. we begin with the monday night match from the premier league, where after two weeks out with injury, jamie vardy ended his nine game goal drought as leicester thrashed aston villa 4—0 to consolidate third place in the premier league. they went head after half—an—hour when villa keeper pepe reina ran out of his area, allowing harvey barnes a virtually free shot on goal. jamie vardy came on and soon made his presence felt. he scored a penalty to make it 2—0, and then struck again with just over ten minutes to go. leicester weren't done though, barnes scored his second to make it 4—0. leicester are five points clear of chelsea, and eight ahead of manchester united. the continuing impact of the coronavirus outbreak is being felt across sport.

tonight italy's prime minister giuseppe conte has confirmed all sporting events in the country have been suspended until at least the third of april. it doesn't include teams playing in international competitions like the champions league. here though, the department of culture, media and sport says there is no rationale to postponing events in britain at the moment. alex gulrajani reports. for now, the only changed to life in the premier league is the lack of handshake. the crowds packed in in manchester and london. different sports, same manchester and london. different sports, same message. manchester and london. different sports, same message. the show will go on, for now. we are clear we don't need to cut down the number of people attending events, it shouldn't be cancelled at this stage, byjust shouldn't be cancelled at this stage, by just saying shouldn't be cancelled at this stage, byjust saying as a cause and we do keep these things under review in in the future. but we certainly have no plans at this stage to take any such steps. powerbrokers from

government, sport and broadcasting on in london today. the aim, to work out to do should the outbreak worsened. and while they were meeting, officials in paris decided to postpone the six nations meeting between ireland and france, leaving wales and scotland in cardiff, the sole surviving men's match of the finale weekend. i don't see any reason why that won't proceed and the basic message coming out today is let's not panic. that monitor the situation. clearly it is a moving situation, so we will keep talking and go from there. the most is the start of one of the world's most famous horse racing festivals. cheltenham. over 255,000 famous horse racing festivals. cheltenham. over 255, 000 people famous horse racing festivals. cheltenham. over 255,000 people here last year and another message is clear, it is business as usual. wolves' europa league last—16 first—leg match at olympiakos on thursday will be played behind closed doors because of the coronavirus outbreak.

the greek government announced on sunday that all professional sports events for the next two weeks will be played without spectators. today, uefa confirmed it was the case for this game. wolves had sold 1,000 tickets for the match. and wednesday's champions league game between psg and borussia dortmund is another match that will be played behind closed doors. the paris police authority have ordered that no fans attend the last 16 second leg at the parc des princes because of concerns over the outbreak. harry kane has returned to training at spurs following a hamstring injury that has kept him out since new year's day. the england captain tweeted this video of him doing drills today. there'd been fears he might not return by the end of the season. his team—mates continued their preparations for tomorrow's champions league last 16, second—leg match against rb leipzig. 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.

good evening. after a promising start, the day deteriorated as the winds picked up and rain began to edge its way in. some of those rains will be heavy and persistent, particularly for parts of mid wales. the met office has issued an amber warning of the hills, we could see 100 millimetres flooding and travel disruption likely. you can see quite nicely the extent of this rain on the earlier radar image. heavy pulses as well for north—west england and down towards south—west england, too. spilling its way eastwards and will gradually we are the main ba ntering eastwards and will gradually we are the main bantering the early hours of the morning but more to come for the mid— and wales, up into north—west england and parts of south—west england, two of the moors. we could see as much as 50 millimetres of rain. bit of cloud around away from north—east england and scotland, it remains windy, too. asa and scotland, it remains windy, too. as a result, fairly mild to start tuesday morning. now, we still have low pressure in charge. a

south—westerly wind will start to drag ina south—westerly wind will start to drag in a plume of something a little milder which will give the temperature is a boost through the day on tuesday. we start off with some heavy pulses of rain for parts of north wales in england, it becomes my showery is the day goes on. showery for scotland, we keep cloud down towards southern england and wales, drizzly outbreaks at times after a murky start, it has to be said. and it will be a windy day across the board. where we get to see some cloud breaks without mild if you devour, we could see temperatures reach 16, possibly 17 celsius for parts of east anglia —— milder hour. this trailing weather front keeps on coming. closest to this area of low pressure, another system starts to edge its way in. through the day on wednesday, noticeably cooler then, we have showers packing in which will be wintry over higher ground initially but even to some lower levels later on in the day. it's still fairly

mild for the southern half of the uk, so as a result there is going to be quite a contrast in temperatures. 15 celsius down to the far south—east, compared to just six of the far north of scotland. cooler air is further south by saturday, so we will notice those dips in temperatures. something quieter in the cards for friday.

i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore, the headlines: all of italy has now been placed in quarantine, it's the most drastic response so far to the outbreak of coronavirus. the world health organisation praises china for its response to the virus, but inside the country there's anger at the way the crisis has been handled. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme: the world's financial markets take fright at the possible economic impact of the coronavirus, with sharp falls on monday. the trial is underway of three russians and a ukranian who've been charged over the downing of flight mh—17.
