hospital. this is a complex, high—sta kes disembark process which could take several days. last off are likely to be international passengers, and in the united states, there are concerns too, about the authorities's preparedness to stop the virus that has now crept across the country. now that we have more testing available, we have these communities, there will be more cases. international citizens from 53 countries will be repatriated on chartered flights from oakland airport. but the lives of more than 1100 crew will remain in limbo. they will not be allowed to leave the ship and the ship will not be allowed to stay here at. let's go now to wear this all began, in china, of course, we hand. steve mcdonnell is in

beijing and they understand the president is due to be in hand, is that right? absolutely, he is that right? absolutely, he is in wuhan city. not only that, but we are hearing that the communist party general secretary has visited the mountain via god temporary isolation facility which people will remember was built in a week and a half, to deal with this massive influx of quarantine patients. there, he is said to have met patients and medical staff. we have not seen pictures of that yet, but we can imagine what this will mean in china, and certainly how it will be interpreted. it isa how it will be interpreted. it is a way of saying that this emergency is under control. for the first time, the country's top leader has visited the city at the heart of the crisis this all began. previously, we had china's number two leader go to

latest. for financial markets across the globe, many described it as black monday. wall street had its biggest decline since the 2008 financial crisis, now it is fairto financial crisis, now it is fair to state nerves are pretty frayed on trading floors where investors are wondering where to turn next as this coronavirus continues to spread. for the briefing today, we have gotjonathan charles with us, managing director of communications. the asian markets are open and trading right now, it is a bit of a mixed picture, at the open, hong kong is in positive territory, we are in a very difficult place aren't we, right now, when it comes to financial markets and what to do next? i think this is a feeling that this is another calm, a lull, but that doesn't mean that this is over because there is no trusting quotes on there is no trusting quotes on the financial times today in

which someone is saying this is a crisis in which no—one has an advantage. you can't have an inside track into knowing how coronavirus will develop because the scientists don't know, the epidemiologists don't know, the epidemiologists don't know, this is something that is developing all the time and while that uncertainty remains in the market, clearly the markets are going to be in a state of flux, they may have further to go down, and then you have on the sidelines, of north, the soil rail going on between saudi arabia and the russians and no—one is how that is going to develop because once the saudis often get something in their mind, and the number of times they have been at opec for opec meetings, they really decided, and if they really decided, and if they have decided to flood the market with oil to put pressure on the russians, we don't know whether oil prices going to end, hit by two things, huge study supply and lack of demand in the markets as the economy slows down. and that was the perfect storm, wasn't it? the coronavirus and this dispute between opec and opec plus, which is russia, essentially.

yesterday at the open in london, bp and shell stock down over 20%, dramatic reaction to all of this. you can see lots of economic news which is part of economic news which is part of the double hat. look at the oil company shares falling very substantially, 10%, 20% in terms of some of the major oil companies. at the same time, coronavirus, look at what is happening to the airline industry, qantas saying they are going to down 25% of their fleet. so, we have got many different economic actors here, or pushing in one direction, and the direction is down and that can't be good. the big question in terms of stock market recovery will be, is this a v shape recession we will have, or a this a v shape recession we will have, ora u this a v shape recession we will have, or a u shape. all right, we will catch up later. in the meantime, it's pretty

you want some of the other stories making the news. america has begun withdrawing some of its trips from afghanistan following a deal it made with the taliban last month. around two—thirds of the troops will leave, with the rest leaving if the taliban stick to their part of the agreement, but the agreement was struck without the involvement of the afghan government. talks between them and the taliban are due to start today. state media and north korea ‘s say kim jong—un said more missiles have been fired from the eastern coast of. it was the second in a week. the united states has urged pyongyang to return to denuclearisation talks that have stalled since last year. police in chile have searched foran police in chile have searched for an armed gang who stole $15 million in cash from a security truck at santiago's

international airport. they are investigating whether the thieves had been tipped off by an insider about the cash shipment. they used a vehicle in colours of a well known courier company. families of the 157 people who died in a plane crash in ethiopia a year ago will be holding a private memorial at the site of the accident today. ethiopian airlines flight 302 went down shortly after taking off from the capital addis ababa, killing all passengers and crew on board. an interim report released by ethiopian airlines or his has blamed the accident on design flaws in the boeing 737 max plane. a much in honour of remembering of those who died on board flight 302 a year

ago. people living near the crash site have come together to pay tribute. it's an elaborate ceremony, fusing traditional and christian rituals, and marks a year—long period of mourning. translation: today is one year. these people died on our land and we felt deep sadness. we are here to remember them and call out their names in lessing's. translation: this is the final stage in mourning those who died. for the families of the victims, we tell them to be strong. those who have gone cannot come back, but for those who are still alive, we play and bless you that you may be whole again. the memories of that fateful day are still very fresh in the mind of the local community and the families. there are plans to put a monument here in remembrance of all those who lost their lives but there are still many u na nswered but there are still many unanswered questions about who bears the responsibility for

that tragic accident. among those who died was british national with kenyan roots, joseph. had lived with his family in the uk since 200a. his daughter says the last year has been a difficult one. she has been a difficult one. she has criticised the decision to carry out a mass burial at the site without consulting families. he won't walk me down the aisle, so this would have been the only other thing that i would have gotten to have done for him. throughout this process, we have been robbed of so process, we have been robbed of so much. when someone dies you get to pick the suit or the dress that they are buried in. and, we went part of the process. they have issued an apology to families and said they are willing to compensate, what are your sentiments about that? there isn't enough money

or enough compensation in this world to compare to the sound of my father's laughter or or, just watching him drink a cup of tea. it is simply not enough. and interim report blamed the plane model and not on the performance of ethiopian airlines or its pilots. back at the site, these two amounts marked the final resting place for the passengers who were on the doomed plane, but their names and memories linger on for those left behind. still to come: finally coming into port, a cruise ship with hundreds of people on board arrives in singapore after coronavirus fears kept it at sea. we will be live in singapore shortly.

you are with the briefing on bbc news. the headlines: all of italy placed under lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak. people are told to stay at home. and passengers stranded for days on a cruise ship in the pacific because of the virus have begun to disembark in the us. let's stay with the coronavirus outbreak and now talk about another cruise liner which was stopped from docking in malaysia and thailand. it has now been allowed to dock in singapore, the home port. the owners of the costa fortuna say none of the passengers and crew have shown any symptoms of the virus. let's talk to monica miller, who is dockside in

singapore for us. so have people begun to disembark? they have. actually, the ship arrived shortly before 8am, and around 10am, people did start getting off of the ship. since that time, we have seen dozens of buses with hundreds of passengers who are being taken to the airport here in singapore. or to a hotel near the airport, as they wait for theirflights. as the airport, as they wait for their flights. as you the airport, as they wait for theirflights. as you had mentioned, the doctors on board had said that there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus, but the last group to actually disembark, which is going on as i speak, they are the italians, and the singaporean authorities are taking extreme measures that are taking their temperatures one—on—one, and if they have a high temperature or show any signs of the coronavirus, they will be taken to an infectious diseases hospital. anyone who refuses to have that swab taken will not be allowed to enter singapore. and as you say, it was allowed to enter port and dock. we can

see it behind you there in singapore. but elsewhere, in thailand, they were not going to allow this cruise ship to dock. well, the trip started out as planned, they went to malaysia early on in the trip, they also went to thailand and made their way to cambodia. but as the virus spread throughout italy, and it went from bad to worse, that's when travel restrictions went into place in this region. so at the end of their trip, when they got to phuket in thailand, the officials had implemented a travel ban on people who had been there within the prior 1a days. then they went to penang to try and finish their trip in malaysia, but malaysia put a ban on all cruise ships entering as they tried to combat the virus. so they did land in singapore this morning, disembarking the majority of passengers at this point. we're

just waiting to see what those numbers will be. the singaporean government usually reports this information later in the day. for now, thank you. monica miller in singapore by that cruise ship which has been allowed to dock there. let's pause on all things coronavirus and bring you all the latest sports stories. hello, i'm gavin ramjaun, and this is your tuesday sport briefing. italian sport has been suspended as quarantine measures to combat the spread of coronavirus are extended to the whole country. the italian prime minister made the announcement before sassuolo's 3—0 win over brescia, the last to be played before the new measures. sassuolo forward francesco caputo celebrated after scoring from close range just before half—time in the match, which was held behind closed doors. caputo then ran to the camera and held up a piece of paper with the message, "everything will be all right. stay at home." leicester city have closed the gap to manchester city in second in the english premier league. they thrashed aston villa 4—0, harvey barnes and jamie vardy scoring two goals each to end a four—game winless run for brendan rodgers's side. aston villa stay second from bottom, and in

the relegation zone. with ten games to go, we're in a great position, and we can only concentrate on ourselves, you know? it doesn't really matter what the teams do. we've got great spirit here, great honesty, and obviously the players have got real quality. the european champions league continues on tuesday. jose mourinho's tottenham travel to leipzig, hoping to overturn a 1—0 deficit from the first leg of their last—16 tie. star striker timo werner should be fit to start after he was injured in saturday's 0—0 draw with wolfsburg. spurs are without a win in their last six matches in all competitions.

we do not think about the last games of tottenham in the legal the fa cup. we only think about the fa cup. we only think about the result of the first leg, so we know that we won the first half and we will try to win the second half as well. and the third stage of the first major stage race of the cycling season will continue on tuesday. max schachmann will wear the race leader's yellow jersey. it could be another good day for the sprinters on tuesday, and another good day for giacomo nizzolo, who triumphed from the pack to win on stage two. he is usually greeted by dozens of fans wherever he goes, but not this time for juventus's cristiano ronaldo. we've already told you their match against inter milan was played behind closed doors. well, ronaldo made light of the situation, pretending to low—five imaginary fans waiting for him outside the ground. perhaps he does that as he goes into his house, too. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that is bbc.com/sport. but from me, gavin ramjaun, and the rest of the sport team, that's your tuesday

sport briefing. and you didn't get a break from coronavirus, i apologise. and you didn't get a break from coronavirus, iapologise. half a century ago, in 1970, the process against the staging of the 1970 miss world competition helped bring feminism to a global audience and helped build the case for sexual equality. 50 years on, the demonstration is the basis for a new film called misbehaviour, starring keira knightley. our correspondent has been meeting some of the women whose experiences formed the basis for the film. miss world 1970 is miss grenade. on the hosting, miss world 1970. that is quite a cattle market, i have been back there checking calves. it was presented by bob hope, but the reason it has gone down in history was because of this. the event was brought to a chaotic halt by protesters from

the women's liberation movement. this isn't altogether unexpected. and now, 50 years on, jennifer harss and was back. gosh. so this really is the first time in 50 years you have been here. that's right, this is amazing. and joining her, the protesters. you started this off, didn't you? yes, idid. did started this off, didn't you? yes, i did. did you want to swell? yes. and this is the inspiration. a new film that tells the story of the day. what are your feelings, 50 yea rs what are your feelings, 50 years on? its fantastic meeting people, young people who rush up people, young people who rush up after the film and say we are inspired by your story and we have been empowered. girls, would you please turn? at the time, moments like this were a source of anger for the protesters, but forjennifer, who went on to become a

diplomat, it helped open doors. i think feminism is a real choice. i have had great opportunities as a result of being a miss world. of course women should have those choices, but you know, it's just a sexist competition. but there is one thing they are in total agreement on. this was history. well, i describe you as trailblazers. so were you. i really do. that was very generous of you, is generous of you, jennifer. i mean it, because i won't forget you. you, jennifer. i mean it, because i won't forget youlj won't because i won't forget you.” won't forget you either. three very generous women there, three very generous women there, and that is a movie i am going to go and watch, that's for sure. thank you very much indeed for being with us for this first half of the briefing. we have is next briefing coming up. we will bring you the latest on financial markets and show you how things are going today in

asia. a little bit of calm, pause for breath, however you wish to describe it after what was described as black monday. all the details injust was described as black monday. all the details in just a moment. good evening. well, after a promising start, the day deteriorated as the winds picked up and rain began to edge its way in. now, some of this rain's going to be quite heavy and persistent, particularly for parts of mid wales. the met office has issued an amber warning. over the hills we could see as much as 100 mm. flooding and travel disruption likely. you can see quite nicely the extent of this rain on the earlier radar image. some heavy pulses as well for north—west england and down towards south—west england too, spilling its way eastwards, and will gradually clear the main band during the early hours of the morning. but more rain to come for parts of mid wales, up into north—west england, and parts of south—west england too. over the moors, here we could see as much

as 50mm of rain. quite a bit of cloud around overnight, away from north—east england and scotland. it remains windy too, and as a result, a fairly mild start to tuesday morning. now, we still have low pressure in charge. a south—westerly wind, which will start to drag in a plume of something a little milder, which will give the temperatures a boost through the day on tuesday. now, we start off with some heavy pulses of rain still for parts of wales and north—west england. it does ease and becomes more showery as the day goes on. further showers as well for scotland. we keep quite a bit of cloud down towards southern england and wales. drizzly outbreaks at times, after a bit of a murky start, it has to be said, and it's going to be a windy day across the board. but where we get to see some cloud breaks, with that milder feed of air, we could see temperatures reach 16, possibly 17 celsius for parts of east anglia. now, as we head into tuesday evening, here's this trailing weather front that just keeps on coming. the winds ease for many areas, that is away from parts of northern scotland, closest to this area of low pressure, and another system

starts to edge its way in. so, through the day on wednesday, noticeably cooler for scotland. we've got 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's going to be quite a contrast in temperatures. 15 celsius down towards the far south—east, compared to just six celsius for the far north of scotland. cooler air filters further south by thursday, so i think we'll all notice a dip in those temperatures. a case of sunshine and showers, but something quieter on the cards for many on friday.

names and memories linger on for those left behind.

time now for the business briefing, i'm sally bundock. a terrible day on wall street, where us financial markets had their biggest one—day fall since the 2008 financial crisis. bittersweet. 10,000 beehives destroyed in australia's bushfires, we will find out what this means for the future of the industry. so, let's show you how the markets are trading now in asia, the day after what some called black monday, you can see japan up black monday, you can see japan upjust black monday, you can see japan up just slightly, hong black monday, you can see japan upjust slightly, hong kong a little better, a mixed picture in asia as investors pause for breath.
