of coronavirus to understand more about it and how the symptoms develop. it's been discovered that — on average — it takes people five days to start showing signs of the virus. however, anyone who is symptom—free by day 12 is unlikely to get symptoms, but could still be infectious. and researchers advise that anyone who could be infectious should self—isolate for 1h days to avoid spreading it to others. our meanwhile, passengers are leaving a cruise liner hit by coronavirus after it was finally able to dock in california.19 crew members and two passengers on the ‘grand princess' have tested positive. arrangements are being made to fly the 120 britons on board back home. our correspondent sophie long has more. sailing into san francisco bay. after nearly a week stranded at sea, the grand princess and thousands on board finally have permission to

o'clock. we will see those predictions are right. don't forget, you can keep up to date with all the developments around the coronavirus outbreak online. you can find out about the symptoms to watch out for and what it means for you on the bbc news app and on our website. that's bbc.co.uk/news. our the united states has begun withdrawing troops from afghanistan, almost 19 years after the conflict began.it‘s a condition of the historic peace deal agreed by the us and the taliban last month. america agreed to reduce its troops in the country from around 12,000 to 8,600 within 135 days. the duke and duchess of sussex have made their last public appearance as working members of the royal family. prince harry and meghanjoined the queen and other senior royals at the commonwealth day service at westminster abbey. harry and musician craig david stuck to westminster abbey's advice and avoided shaking hands —

at the moment, there hasn't been any disruption to events in britain, sporting events. not to postpone matches. i've got penguin news for you. checks. but the collective noun is all sorts but there is a difference if they are on water or land. a group of penguins in the water i called a raft of penguins and a group on land are called a waddle. because they do! that's really cute. you can call them a rookery, a colony or a huddle but a waddle is better. how about the weather? it's not cold enough to penguins. a pretty mild start, mild start to the week. temperatures at the moment higher than they were yesterday evening at around 11 or 12 degrees for quite a few but once again, we are focusing on the rain.

across parts of mid wales, through to ten a.m. flooding is likely and crucial, this area where the rain has been heaviest beads into the rivers severn and wye, so levels may lift up the next few days. rain is turning having a pen. on the western side of the pennines into the north the peak district. that will come and go throughout the day. longer spells of rain pushing through the west of scotland but a bit of sunshine in between for the northern half of the country. southern counties of england and wales. patchy light rain and drizzle. likely to be in the hills of south wales. it's going to be a fairly blustery day to day, windier than yesterday, widespread gusts, but those wins still coming from an incredibly mild direction. not much change compared with this morning and any breaks, 16 or 17.

not as wet in wales and england as the last 2a hours but more so as to come in scotland and northern ireland. a bit of a split in temperatures, temperatures in the northern half, maybe a touch of frost. a fresh start tomorrow, a mix of sunshine and showers tomorrow. the rain clearing away in the south to the channel islands tomorrow but a brighter day for many compared with today. showers come and go through tomorrow afternoon, mainly in the west. temperatures tomorrow still around 15 degrees, seven or eight in scotland. cooler air will push its way in behind this weather front wednesday into thursday. into thursday a fair bit of sunshine for southern and eastern areas, longer spells of rain with some hail and snow across northern parts of scotland. there could be some hail

"meltdown" is how the daily mirror describes the stock market crash, saying millions of british workers

have seen their pensions hit by the recent plunge. and online, vice are reporting that chinese citizens who are angry at their government's handling of the coronavirus are communicating using coded words and phrases to express their dissatisfaction, according to research from amnesty international. 0k. ok. jane, what have you got in the back pages? cheltenham? there has been a lot about that also some from last night and the possibility of relegation. a lot about the coronavirus and how it could impact british sport. cheltenham is definitely going ahead today. a p pa re ntly definitely going ahead today. apparently there was already impact on the summer transfer window because your dash and this is quite sensible if you think about it tingled out —— because this is quite sensible if you think about it, a lot of clubs haven't been travelling as much. it's quite sensible, when

you think about it. but it is quite scary there is already that impact. and this is quite nice in the times. what were you guys doing when you we re what were you guys doing when you were 16? panicking. panicking about exams? i was working in a bookshop. i was exams? i was working in a bookshop. iwasa exams? i was working in a bookshop. i was a waitress. you geek. got to get it where you can. this guy plays for birmingham at the moment but a p pa re ntly for birmingham at the moment but apparently united are talking about him for £30 million, only16 apparently united are talking about him for £30 million, only 16 years old, that is what they are saying. isn't that amazing? yeah. jake judge bellingham. and finally, before a show you this picture, i think you will remember it, dan, and sally, both of you will remember this one. come on. have a wee look. it is a

tale of two jones's was that that is when he grabbed paul gascoigne inappropriately. and itjust echoes the six nations. that's because joe marler has been cited. another excuse to bring out that. it was a bit more of a raffle than a grab, wasn't it? i don't want to go into detail at this time of the morning. and what about this picture? this is the front page of the daily telegraph. you can see the picture from westminster abbey yesterday. i watched this on the tally, quite interesting. as mark telly. —— on the telly. it'sjust interesting. as mark telly. —— on the telly. it's just a interesting. as mark telly. —— on the telly. it'sjust a moment interesting. as mark telly. —— on the telly. it's just a moment when they have been to a service, walking back. they know the eyes of the

world a re back. they know the eyes of the world are on them, that first moment, a nod, a handshake or eric idle? —— a cuddle. did you know that squatting at your desk may ward off chronic illness? what, like exercising? we have one or two people at standing desks in our office. some people say we should replace desks entirely with squatting or kneeling postures to chronic inactivity —— combat inactivity. kneeling? scientists from california university found participants were less likely to suffer from participants were less likely to sufferfrom chronic participants were less likely to suffer from chronic diseases. human bodies weren't designed to sit like

this. just squat for the entire programme and we will see how we go. i don't think my someone i can cope with it. speaking of muscular development. daniel craig. is he over 50? 52. this is a picture from an interview he has done. he is on the phone. is on a very old—fashioned the phone. is on a very old —fashioned landline, the phone. is on a very old—fashioned landline, what's that about? —— he is on. if a promotional shot for his new film. i think it's interesting at this point, aged 52, he is obviously working hard. the interviewers about how hard he has to work to stay in physical shape. as james bond and stuff. he says he doesn't want to do it anymore and it's very, very hard work. and daniel radcliffe has picked up some cash from harry potter. his friends a lwa ys cash from harry potter. his friends always ta ke cash from harry potter. his friends always take the mickey out of him, he is worth about £90 million but

his rubbish at his money. -- he is. he says he doesn't know what you spend it on. rupert grinned, his co—star who plays ron wesley is much better. he bought a hovercraft, a swa n better. he bought a hovercraft, a swan shaped pillow and an ice cream van. i could see you doing that. i would love to own an ice cream van. it wouldn't make a dent out of £90 million, would it? you could get quite a lot of ice cream. thank you, jane. we will see you later on. it is 6:22am. joanna toole was an ambitious young woman who spent much of her career abroad, campaigning for animal welfare. a year ago todayjoanna was killed when a flight control system on a boeing 737 max aircraft caused it to nosedive. the same type of plane had crashed only five months earlier, with a similarfault. joanna's father adrian has accused boeing of putting profit over safety. he's been speaking to our transport

correspondent, tom burridge. jo was a star and she would have gone on to greater things. there's not much comfort, really. joanna toole was killed on a plane which nosedived shortly after takeoff.|j learnt nosedived shortly after takeoff.” learnt to cope. nothing will ever be the same again. i was actually, i was at a party last night and there we re was at a party last night and there were people laughing and joking and having fun and itjust suddenly struck me that i am no longer able tojoin in with struck me that i am no longer able to join in with things like that. i don't think there's anything i could have done to stop her being on the plane. i didn't know any of the issues, few people did know about theissues issues, few people did know about the issues without plan. the plan was boeing's newly modified version

of its 737, rebranded the max. it was more fuel—efficient, designed to compete with airbus' new, greenery model which was already selling well. —— greener was up at five months before the crash that killed joanna toole and the other 156 people onboard, exactly the same type of plane crashed into the sea of indonesia. both times, a new flight of indonesia. both times, a new flight control system malfunctioned, putting the nose of its plant repeatedly down. as her sister karen said, afterjo died, when you get on these plains, you expect them to ta ke these plains, you expect them to take you where you're going safely. people are used to trusting these

big corporations and the regulators that are supposed to oversee what they do. noise pollution generated bya they do. noise pollution generated by a variety of human activities... jo's passion for what i saw her address the united nations. this is address the united nations. this is a little book of photographs, i have been carrying this around the whole of last year. —— her passion for nature. he is continuing her work the a foundation. but victims of otherfamilies are the a foundation. but victims of other families are also taking legal action against boeing. in the corporate world, there is safety culture, putting safety first. it's most difficult thing to actually achieve because every other function the corporation is devoted to making profits. boeing clearly in the past has not had safety is a top priority. boeing told us its employees will remember the victims

today. the company said safety was its top priority. the max remains grounded. at the customer in ethiopia, there will be a memorial forjoanna and everyone else who was killed. tom burridge, bbc news. it is 6:26am. we have the news, travel and weather coming up as well as the national headlines. good morning from bbc london. a teenage boy who was stabbed to death on a bus in croydon has been named. 17—year—old damani mauge was murdered on sunday evening. police believe there was an altercation prior to the attack. they are appealing for witnesses.

a body representing small businesses in the capital has called for the government to help small firms in the coming weeks as the coronavirus spreads. the federation of small businesses says more should be done to support the payment of statutory sick pay. it has also called for the introduction of a temporary compensation scheme for those who are self—employed, and not eligible for sick pay. there should be a new law which would see disruptive airline passengers banned from flying. that's according to the mp for dartford. garethjohnson is proposing a bill to give the courts the power to ban those convicted from flying on all airlines for a specific period of time. it will be debated by mps in the commons later. some of andy warhol's most famous images are to go on display at the tate modern later this week. over 100 of his works will go on show with his take on pop culture and a special emphasis on desire, identity and belief. it's the first warhol exhibition at the gallery for almost 20 years. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service

on the tubes this morning. although there's no overground between euston and watford junction and no bakerloo line from stonebridge park to harrow and wealdstone. that is still affecting transit used in. —— euston. that's after overhead lines were damaged at the weekend. one line remains closed between euston and watford junction. on the rodas — bloomsbury street remains closed at the aao high holborn for roadworks. in the city — london wall is closed from moorgate to the museum of london roundabout. good morning. it's a mild start out there this morning, the temperature rose overnight last night, so cloud and some light rain and drizzle first thing today. this light rain is going to come and go really through the morning, perhaps a little drier through the afternoon but we don't lose the cloud. it stays rather grey, perhaps a little

brightness further north you are towards the end of the afternoon. a busy day, too, but still reaching a mild 16 celsius. overnight, further outbreaks of rain. that front really lingering. it will stay quite cloudy, more showery as we head into wednesday morning. it is going to be a windy night, windfalls between 7— 10 celsius, the minimum. so perhaps not dropping the love double figures in central london. tomorrow morning, another mild start, some showers at first but they were clear to a brighter, greater afternoon with some sunshine. it is in the mid—teens of 15 celsius. a colder day for thursday is a front move through, we will get themselves in the afternoon but temperatures, 11 celsius. you can find more stories on our website, facebook and instagram. now it is back to dan and sally. good morning. this is breakfast with

sally nugent and dan walker. it is 6:29 exactly. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: we unite a woman who was given just six months to live, with the stranger who saved her life by donating his stem cells. also this morning, we'll be live at the cheltenham festival, which gets underway later despite concerns about the coronavirus outbreak. and later, we'll meet the 64—year—old who's broken a world record to become the oldest woman to row across any ocean. good morning — here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. people in the uk are being advised to get all but essential travel to italy after the entire country was placed on lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus. the italian pm said the strict quarantine measures in the north of the country we re measures in the north of the country were no longer sufficient. the

illnesses killed more than 460 people there, the largest number outside china. here, the foreign office said people from italy should self isolate full 1a days. we're joined now by silvia sciorilli borrelli, italy correspondent for politico europe. silvia, tell us about these new measures. thank you forjoining us. good morning, everyone. iwould thank you forjoining us. good morning, everyone. i would say it was quite a surprise lead last night when the prime minister decided to go on television and announced these new measures to the entire country. in other parts of the country, except lombardi and those other provinces which have been affected by these extreme measures over the weekend, it came as a surprise and in fact, we are seeing reports of people that overnight were queueing up people that overnight were queueing up infront people that overnight were queueing up in front of supermarkets, afraid that they wouldn't be able to leave their homes to go and buy food. of

course, that is not the case. the government said people will be able to continue to work and go to their offices. obviously grocery stores and supermarkets are going to remain closed but there is a lot of panic here at this point because people weren't feeling the impact of the coronavirus outbreak outside this northern region and now the extension of these measures is clearly a concern to everybody, including families that will have their children home until april the third. people are wondering why they have extended these measures to the hill country if the government was saying up until tender ——10 days ago this was little more than mild influenza. give us an idea, since you talk about being surprised those measures extend across the country, what is it like they're out there on the streets. shares being rearranged, sitting diagonally,

lines in supermarkets, buying items at the till. what sort of things seeking? that's correct. the guidelines say people have to maintain at least one metre between each other so it's as you described in supermarkets and other places. restau ra nts in supermarkets and other places. restaurants and in supermarkets and other places. restau ra nts a nd cafe in supermarkets and other places. restaurants and cafe ‘s are going to be closed from 6pm, so effectively there is going to be a curfew in public faces where we've seen press conferences last night, at the prime minister ‘s office, everyone was spread out to avoid close contact. aside from this, we are seeing ghostly towns and cities because at this hour, people would be getting ready to go to work or school but everything is shut, people are being advised to stay indoors so we're not seeing many people around. in rome, are basically gone, so you see these

taxis queued up, streets and the, museums shut and people staying in .com despite the sunshine and spring days. it's sort of unprecedented measures which i know a lot of other countries, are looking at and making considerations for the things they do themselves. do you feel another people feel that they are getting enough information about why the decision has been made and why the processes and things you are doing now? i think the situation is improving but in the beginning, the situation was very chaotic and confused. when the measures were decided for lombardi and the other northern princes, the draft decree was leaked to the press so the press published it before the government announced it and it basically triggered panic and people fleeing on crammed trains from milan heading

south. so... government officials advising to carry on so they were going out having beer in the with political activists and young people posting pictures on facebook, advising people to carry on as normal and that's because they wa nted normal and that's because they wanted to avoid the severe impact on the economy but ten days later, they are suggesting to change our routine, stay indoors and cut every movement that is not essential. now the situation will improve because the situation will improve because the government has realised, that has been lots of miscommunication but up until now, the situation has been very confusing for the public. silvia sciorilli borrelli, italy correspondent for politico europe, thank you.

the surprise that those lot down measures have been extended across the whole country. interesting hearing about people being physically kept apart in public faces. you can keep right up—to—date with all the outbreak elements. you can find out about the symptoms to watch out for and what it means for you on the bbc news app and on our website. that's bbc.co.uk/news. the lawyer leading the enquiry into sex offenderjeffrey epstein says prince andrew has shut the door and cooperating. they want to talk to him about this friendship with the disgraced businessman but the prince denies any allegations of sexual misconduct. contrary to prince andrew's very public offer to co—operate with our investigation into jeffrey epstein's co—conspirators, and offers ——an offer conveyed by a press release, prince andrew has completely shut the door on voluntary cooperation

and our office is considering its options. it is 6:36am. we are bringing you all the very latest on the coronavirus situation in italy and across europe, here in the uk. is it affecting sporting events? it's not directly affecting them in the uk. certainly around the world, it is. indian wales has been cancelled, serie a games being played behind closed doors. but in the uk, it's ok for sporting events to go ahead as long as precautions are taken. more and more sporting events across the world are being cancelled or postponed because of coronavirus. italy has suspended all domestic sport until april. so far the goverment here has said there's no need to do anything just yet. but that isn't stopping events from taking precautions. the cheltenham festival gets underway today. around 200,000 people are expected to attend the biggest event in the national hunt racing calendar over the next four days.

extra hygiene measures have been put in place by the organisers under guidance from the government. we've certainly recognised our responsibilities in having a number of people here over the four days and have brought in plenty of additional resources to ensure the toilets are probably stuffed with soap and water throughout the event, we've brought in 2a hand sanitiser boards have large quality teas of hand sanitiser dell gel as well as asking all of our participants to follow the government guidelines. this weekend's six nations match between france and ireland, which should have taken place in paris, has been postponed. the french government has banned gatherings of more than a thousand people until further notice. wales against scotland is still due to go ahead in cardiff, but the women's match is off because seven members of the scotland team and staff are in self isolation. whether the women's match between france and ireland goes ahead is yet to be decided.

and a thousand wolves fans who had bought tickets to see their team take on olympiakos in the europa league on thursday will no longer be able to use them. uefa confirmed they will obey the greek government's decision that all professional sports events will be played behind closed doors for the next two weeks. it's still business as usual for the premier league for now though. third placed leicester city ensured aston villa stay in the relegation zone by thrashing them 4—0. they went ahead when villa keeper pepe reina ran out of his area, allowing harry barnes virtually a free shot on goal. amie vardy came on and scored a penalty to make it 2 nil; then struck again to make it 3. barnes scored his second in the 85th minute. leicester are five points clear of fourth place chelsea. finally for any of you who think you're over the hill, it's never too late to fulfil your sporting dreams.

this is 75—year—old ezzeldin bahader. over the weekend he scored on his debut for the bizarrely named egyptian third division club 6th october. that made him the oldest goalscorer in worldwide professional leagues. if he plays another 90 minutes he'll be recognised as the world's oldest professional footballer by guinness world records. 75! are we shocked? he does not look 75. are you saying he might be fibbing. i'm saying he looks in great neck. was he brought onto the penalty? so in order to qualify for the olympics, the guinness world records, he asked to play two matches consisting of 90 minutes. he isa matches consisting of 90 minutes. he is a father of four, of six. i want to know what he eats. that is inspirational. you spoke to the

old est inspirational. you spoke to the oldest person to cross the atlantic. she was 62. later in the programme. we have our own sporting challenges coming up soon. not suggesting we are over the hill. i'm still very worried about the horse. i'm worried about the jumping. charlotte dujardin, does she know which is that herself in for? i need a big course, that is my only stipulation. not too big, it's terrifying. sorry to add to your anxiety. i'll be fine. global financial markets are set to reopen after a turbulent day that's been dubbed ‘black monday'. nina is in the city of london for us. it is pretty quiet usually would be.

the numbers indicating the markets in asia, i'm not sure what is happening on that screen. there will be hundreds of market analysts arriving here later and you can just imagine the scenes he yesterday as the value of the ftse100 took a tumble of nearly 8%. the worst day since the global financial crisis backin since the global financial crisis back in 2008. at one point, things we re back in 2008. at one point, things were freefalling so rapidly that they had to suspend the markets for 15 minutes. part of the reason things got so bad is because our consumption of oil globally has reduced. the countries that produce oil couldn't agree on a price. the markets lost their confidence. there is of course a secondary element affecting all of our economies. we are simply spending less, less inclined to be in areas where there are inclined to be in areas where there a re lots of inclined to be in areas where there are lots of people. we don't want to go to theatres or get into taxis,

it's having huge ramifications. we spoke tojoe who runs a copy events company. the middle of last week, this was going to be the biggest busiest —— busiest week of our year in between midday on wednesday and 9am on friday, we lost the lion's share of the work that week which has left us with things like 300 kilograms of roasted coffee, 480 bottles of milk, so nearly 1000 litres of milk so we've had to negotiate with our suppliers to try and return that milk. we certainly lost £45,000 in turnover. at the moment, i can't tell you how much of that we may recover. i would say at best, a half. some of the costs, we won't be able to recover so turnover is down, costs are up. so really difficult times the hundreds of thousands of this is across the country. it is michael's job to

analyse how the markets are performing. vicki times for three decades. how does yesterday compared to other big days? in terms of the financial crisis of 2008, this was an appetiser. it compares with the declines of ten but hopefully it's a one—off. we are certainly starting to see evidence of stabilisation in asian markets. the asian markets seem asian markets. the asian markets seem to have stabilised. this was the tumble the markets took yesterday. what's going on? why the recovery in two stages. this is very closed. around 5965. it continued to fall in us trading. this is a proxy of our own cash index, the ftse 100. about 5750, around about that time, looking at implementing a number of

tax cuts as well as extending paid leave for self isolators which when the us economy is likely to undergo a shock, you want some sort of mitigation in terms of policy makers in addition to central—bank stimulus but also, president xi decided to pay a visit to wuhan which is where this coronavirus outbreak started and there are signs that the charter is getting on top of it. let's not beat about the bush, president xi is not going to put himself in harm 's way so there is some optimism, optimism that we could be starting to turn around but let's not forget china is well ahead of the game here, italy is locked down, spain has announced shut downs in universities and schools so there is some optimism at its so it can stick.

but to be clear that graf needs to be way up. this is the drop since january, so it is quite a big drop. there is a long way to go for a full recovery — — there is a long way to go for a full recovery —— that. so the chancellor has about 30 hours to cross that is in. the eyes. good luck to him. —— cross the t‘s and dot the is. and we saw the hand sanitiser there. good going. matt has the weather for us. good going. matt has the weather for us. i thought i would put the temperature in your build—up for us.

—— yeovil. heavy rain coming through, we saw two inches of rain for one or two spots here. notice the river wye and severn are likely to rise to the next few days. the heaviest rain at the moment is on the western side of the pennines and peak district. i was across western scotla nd peak district. i was across western scotland and pushing back into northern ireland through this morning. a bit of sunshine between the showers, for the northern half of the country. lots of showers in the south, that passages are coming through. a blustery day, maybe 50—60 mile an hour gusts. cloud breaks in the south—eastern east anglia this afternoon, sunshine could lift temperatures to a balmy 16— 17 celsius. the cheltenham festival, a bit of light rain or drizzle pushing

through in the breeze. but it will mostly be dry and cloudy. some cloud brea ks mostly be dry and cloudy. some cloud breaks this afternoon. patchy rain and drizzle again heavier at times in the south but further north some clear skies around. tomorrow morning's commute will be a chillier one. temperatures with a touch of frost and parts of northern england and eastern scotland. showers for scotla nd and eastern scotland. showers for scotland and northern ireland tomorrow, a mixture of rain and hail and of the hill some sleet and snow. it is still going to be a blustery day but not as windy. if you are showers around, the more sunshine and a brighter day for counties tomorrow. 15 degrees is possible, temperatures back to where they should be across parts of scotland and northern ireland. as we go through wednesday and into thursday, some cooler conditions push their way back in. sunshine and showers in the west end temperatures down on what we have seen today. back to you. thank you, see you later on. see you then! at just 25—years—old,

after a diagnosis of hodgkin's lymphoma, jo kelly was given just six months to live. just when her treatment options had run out, she matched to a stem cell donor from germany — and now, eight years on, she's still here, happily married with a baby girl. jo had never met the man that saved her life — until last week — when breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin brought them together for the first time. here's what happened. my my name is jo my name isjo kelly, it happened when i was 25. i was told i was unlikely to live past christmas of that year. jo was fighting hodgkin's lymphoma when she met her first love. this is us on our first dates. in this picture i was really quite ill when i first met pete. it's a disease which disproportionately affects young people. and then we got married in 2010, only one year after we met. at this point i only had one month left to live. and the

only hope if chemotherapy and radiotherapy fails, is to find a stem cell or bone marrow donor. and thatis stem cell or bone marrow donor. and that is exactly what happened. german man, that is all we knew about him at the time. we knew his height and weight, i think. we knew height and weight, i think. we knew he had exams at the time so he needed to slightly defer his donation but that was fine. his name? stephane. let me check it's switched on. today for the very first time are going to meet. you arejust so eager to first time are going to meet. you are just so eager to say thank you. yes. i think it's going to be very emotional. i'm definitely going to cry. laughter stop what do i say to him? thank you just doesn't seem like enough, really. you really wanted to do this, didn't you? i really do. it's

like meeting family you didn't know existed. you just want to meet them. there, take a seat. i'm 32 years old and about 15 years ago ijoined the register in germany. how are we feeling? excited. nervous. it didn't cross my mind that out of so many people i would be the one to have a chance to help like this. two years after the operation, jo kelly wrote to stefan for the first time, but eight years later this is their chance to meet face—to—face. this is it. it is! are you ready? is ready as i'll ever be. all right. deep breath. oh, it's great to see you! how are you doing? oh, you are tall! hello. yeah. alll can

how are you doing? oh, you are tall! hello. yeah. all i can say how are you doing? oh, you are tall! hello. yeah. alll can say is how are you doing? oh, you are tall! hello. yeah. all i can say is thank you because you've given us everything, really. laughter stop i'm just shellshocked, this is mad. there was this feeling every now and then you would think about the other person. these random points we were thinking that the other one, so it was really good when you sent us that letter. the other time as well. i think your letters are my most prized possession. today, jo kelly is cancer free. she ran possession. today, jo kelly is cancerfree. she ran the london marathon, her and pete had a baby girl. how life is complete thanks to one man. i thought long and hard about something that i could ever give you to match what you given me, but i decided that you should be the keeper of this. "in my is this? essentially you ran it with me. so please have my metal. thank you! thank you. this is amazing. coming

out? hello, nice to meet you. and you. hello. thank you. thank you. come on. five people are diagnosed with hodgkin lymphoma every day, yet only 2% of people i hear on the register. in germany it is 9%. during this moment, they hope, will encourage many more. “— during this moment, they hope, will encourage many more. —— sharing. wow, what a moment. thank you tojo kelly and stefan are taking part in that. we can talk about this more now with professor adrian bloor, a consultant haematologist from the christie. you have treated jo in the past. if you needed encouragement to be a stem cell donor, that is them. yeah, it's just transformational. it's

something very personal, saving someone's life, it's an amazing thing to do. but there is still a problem that there is still a lack of donors for different types of — different sections of the community. in order to have a transplant, the donor needs to be fit and the donor also needs to be a match. and, we have donors for perhaps three quarters of the patients we need. there are issues in the fact we don't have enough donors numerically, only 2% of the uk population are registered as donors, we could have more. and the situation is even worse for black or minority ethnic populations. in order to have a donor, we matched tissue types, they aren't random. you are almost inevitably going to find someone as a donor from the same ethnic background as yourself so we same ethnic background as yourself so we need more diversity in the panel. we need younger donors, fitter donors and we also need to have donors that are able to give

these life—saving transplants. have donors that are able to give these life-saving transplants. is it simply the case of filling out a form to become a donor or do test? it is that easy to do. in the uk, the strategy is to really focus on the strategy is to really focus on the donors we want such as young donors between 16—30, so people in the target demographic, this is what we are going after. looking for people who are fit, who don't have other medical problems. the actual process of registering to be a donor isa simple process of registering to be a donor is a simple thing. look on the website and have a sample from inside your cheek, which allows us to work out the genetic match and see whether you would be suitable to bea see whether you would be suitable to be a donor. if you do much with somebody, what is the process like donating? is it painful? how does it work? we need stem cells from stem cell donor is easily come from inside the bone marrow. there is a miss perception that it is a

surgical procedure. 90% of cases we can get it from the blood. they have a medical assessment to check whether they can be a donor, blood tests a nd whether they can be a donor, blood tests and an x—ray, and assuming they are fit, it can go ahead. they have four or five days given under the skin, it's a growth factor, something we all have inside us. it causes the stem cells to come into the blood, and it is collected by a machine. the rest of it goes back into you. it takes a few hours and sometimes feel a little bit weird on it but on the other hand, it is a safe thing and you are back to normal again very shortly afterwards was that it isn't dangerous or risky to do. thank you for coming in and explaining that to us. great to have you here this morning and brilliant news forjo and stefan and amazing to get them together on bbc

breakfast to talk to each other. and we are going to be talking about this again later on in the programme and talking about the need for donors and what people can do if they feel they want to become a donor. if you have any questions about that you can find us on bbc brea kfast about that you can find us on bbc breakfast on our website and social media as per usual. do let us know what you think about that. the headlines are coming up, but first, the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a teenage boy who was stabbed to death on a bus in croydon has been named. 17—year—old damani mauge was murdered on sunday evening. police believe there was an altercation prior to the attack. they are appealing for witnesses. ahead of tomorrow's budget, an organisation which represents small businesses in the capital has called for the government to do more to help companies as the coronavirus spreads. the federation of small businesses says it's already having a big impact. it wants more support for the payment of statutory sick pay and a temporary compensation scheme for those

overhead lines at the weekend and thatis overhead lines at the weekend and that is still affecting trains at euston. one line is closed to watford junction — while repairs are done. on the roads — bloomsbury street remains closed at high holborn for roadworks. you can see them there. in the city — london wall is closed from moorgate to the museum of london roundabout. finally, in croydon, park hill road is closed for repairs to a burst water main. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a mild start out there this morning, the actually temperature rose overnight last night, so cloud and some light rain and drizzle first thing today. now, this light rain is going to come and go really through the morning, perhaps a little drier through the afternoon but we don't lose the cloud. it stays rather grey, perhaps a little bit of brightness further north you are towards the end of the afternoon. a breezy day, too, but temperatures regardless still reaching a mild 16 celsius. overnight, further outbreaks of rain. that front really lingering.

it will stay quite cloudy, more showery as we head into wednesday morning. it is going to be a windy night, windfalls a little lighter, between 7—10 celsius, the minimum. so perhaps not dropping the love double figures in central london. tomorrow morning, another mild start, some showers at first but they clear to a brighter, greater afternoon with some sunshine. it is in the mid—teens of 15 celsius. a colder day for thursday is a front move through, we will get themselves in the afternoon but temperatures, 11 celsius. you can find more stories on our website, facebook and instagram. now, though, it's back to dan and sally. have a lovely morning. bye for now. good morning — welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today: the whole of italy is put on lockdown as the country battles the spread of coronavirus — the foreign office here advises against all but essential travel to anywhere in the country.

probably within the next 10—14 days, when the modelling would imply we should move to a situation where we say everybody who has even minor respiratory tract infections she orfever should be self isolating for she or fever should be self isolating for seven days afterwards. the transport secretary, grant shapps, has tweeted that restrictions on supermarket deliveries are being relaxed, including allowing night—time deliveries to help keep stores stocked. the cheltenham festival is going ahead today. the government is not yet bringing in measures to stop public gatherings but a lot of events, including st patrick's day parades in belfast and dublin, have been cancelled by organisers. keith doyle, bbc news. let's get more on the measures being imposed across italy this morning from our reporter bethany bell, who's in bologna. what can you tell us, bethany? was speaking to somebody earlier who said the measures imposed by the

italian government came as a bit a surprise. italy is waking up to a strange new reality where they've movement across the country has been severely restrict it. people will be able to get permission to move if they have very essential reasons for work orfor health they have very essential reasons for work or for health reasons or for family emergencies. but if they are found to have lied about those, they could face fines and possibly a prison sentence. we are not sure how these measures are going to be enforced. will the police be having roadblocks? we know there have been checks at train stations and also we know that public transport will continue to run for those who need it and continue to run for those who need itand in continue to run for those who need it and in terms of british visitors, they will still be able to leave italy but the foreign office is advising everybody to check their

flights because there will may well bea flights because there will may well be a lot of cancellations as a result of this. we're still waiting again, many here waiting to see what this means in practice. schools and universities remain shut, cafe ‘s and universities remain shut, cafe ‘s a nd restau ra nts universities remain shut, cafe ‘s and restaurants will remain open but only until its pm this evening. strange times here. meanwhile, passengers are leaving a cruise liner hit by coronavirus after it was finally able to dock in california. 19 crew members and two passengers on the grand princess have tested positive. arrangements are being made to fly the 120 britons on board back home. our correspondent sophie long has more. sailing into san francisco bay. after nearly a week stranded at sea, the grand princess and thousands on board finally have permission to dock. this is the moment the passengers on board the grand princess have been longing for. for days, they been confined to the cabins, not knowing where or when their ordeal would end. now, finally, the san francisco

skyline is in sight. waiting at the docks, teams ready to take those in need of urgent medical care to hospital. this is a complex high—stakes disembarkment process which could take several days. last to embark are likely to be international passengers, including more than 120 britons. among them are neil and victoria hanlon. what has been the worst thing to you over the last four days? just the not knowing and the fact that we were at sea and couldn't see land. when we saw land yesterday, i just felt absolutely fantastic, to be able to see the golden gate bridge in view. that felt brilliant. but you are very upset this morning, weren't you? she was crying, yesterday. i felt down, really, just the not knowing

rivers wye and severn are likely to rise, and flooding possible. the worst of the overnight rain has eased away but still going around at times and was seen weather conditions across the western side of the pennines, adding to a difficult commute. a few showers across scotland and northern ireland. some eastern areas are dry and bright in a mild start. we stay with those mild winds throughout the day, very blustery. lots of cloud in the south. the chance of some sunshine across the northern half and afternoon temperatures well above where they should be, around 1011, maybe 16 or 17 degrees across parts of east anglia if you see some sunshine. breaks around but overall, fairly cloudy. patchy light rain and drizzle, south wales with heavy rain to come through second half of the day and as you can see, fairly blustery and to the day, and the

scotla nd blustery and to the day, and the scotland and northern ingram, a bit of sunshine. clear skies, temperatures are going to drop a bit more. greater chance of a bit of frost here and there. staying fairly cloudy, a mild start to wednesday. cooler further north and for all of us, is you go to the next few days, a mixture of sunshine and showers, most prevalent in the west, easing down by friday. returning to our top story now. in the most drastic response yet to the spread of coronavirus, the italian prime minister has announced restrictions on all movement across the country. more than 9,000 cases have been confirmed in italy — the number of deaths stands at 463. across europe, countries like france, germany and spain, have also seen a surge in cases. in france, there's now a ban on all gatherings of more than 1,000 people, and in madrid, all schools and universities have

closed to control the spread. here in the uk, almost 25,000 people have been tested and five have now died. the chief medical adviser for england has warned that anyone showing even minor signs of respiratory tract infections will soon be told to isolate themselves for seven days, as part of the next steps to tackle the outbreak. we'll discuss the health implications here in the uk more in just a moment, but first let's go to rome, where we can speak to journalist seema gupta. thank you very much for talking to us thank you very much for talking to us this morning. how bad has increasing infections been in italy prompt this drastic action today? what we've seen is the last 24 hours, there's been an increase of about almost 1600 infections and it's been like that over the weekend, over the space of 24 hours, more than 1000 infections. basically

you have the prime minister speaking to the nation in the media conference on monday evening stressing too many infections, too many individuals that need intensive ca re many individuals that need intensive care and not enough help or at least the impact of the overwhelming impact on medical services and that is the necessity to take these drastic, draconian messages expect measures. they felt there was a need and let's not forget, it overwhelmingly seems to impact the elderly population and italy has one of the world's oldest populations, and it's precisely because of that the prime minister is calling for responsible action, pleading to people essentially to do this in the interests of the fright fragile members of society, their parents and grandparents, the elderly and those who have an underlying health condition. what does this mean in practical terms for people's

everyday lives starting from today? it means even here in rome, you need a specific good reason to move about. it has to be because you are going to work or because you have a need, necessity but that includes going for grocery shopping to get supplies that you may need we have a health reason to move about. if you have a temperature of 37.5, you are over 65, if you have a respiratory issue, you need to stay indoors and everybody in general needs to stay indoors. the prime minister said this measure was taken because they saw some irresponsible behaviour. too many groupings of people and gatherings in public where it's young people and he said, look, everybody needs to play their part, we are all the same boat and i think it's that kind of message they want to extend. no public gatherings, even at supermarkets pharmacies and

post offices, a clear demarcation of how far one person can stand from the other. it has to be one metre distance. at this local supermarket, it is indicated with signs on the ground how far you can stand with another person. fascinating insight this morning, thank you. as we know, those with underlying health conditions are more vulnerable. colin talbot, who has diabetes and a lung condition, has made the decision to self isolate for his own safety. he joins us now from his home in bedford. colin, really appreciate you coming on this morning. explain why you have taken that decision. are you worried about the possible impact of coronavirus on yourself? there have been people like you with those underlying conditions in quarantine. i saw your item from italyjust now, there was an emphasis on that. but i don't think there is quite the same emphasis here and giving advice to

people with prior conditions. age, i am 67, diabetes, i have type two, heart disease and lung disease, i have got both of those. so i am well in the frame for somebody potentially who would die from getting coronavirus, as far as i can see from the start, it is about one in ten chance. so i'm trying to protect myself by staying home as much as possible. fortunately i'm semi retired and worked mainly from home when i do work, so i can stay in the house as much as i can. i only go out to walk the dog. my wife and two sons are at home doing the shopping, so i'm giving myself well away from any possibility or at least minimising possibility of picking up the virus. colin, it sounds like you have really carefully thought this through. what would you do have a member of your family was to contract the virus? well, we worked out how we could divide the house. i would essentially be going into

confinement, this office you can see behind me here, our master bedroom and ensuite next—door, that would be my bit of the house and my wife and two sons would have the rest of the house. so that would get me out of the way. it sounds like you are keeping across all of the announcements from the government. the official advice still you shouldn't need to self isolate u nless shouldn't need to self isolate unless you get the symptoms, but you are unless you get the symptoms, but you a re clearly unless you get the symptoms, but you are clearly feeling like that is not the right thing to do for you? well, i think you'll find the advice will be coming out very shortly. i spoke toa be coming out very shortly. i spoke to a chief executive of one of the council charities last night. they we re very council charities last night. they were very concerned council charities last night. they were very concerned because they had negotiated advise for people like myself and people who are receiving cancer treatments and whose immune systems may be suppressed on what they ought to do, and that includes

they ought to do, and that includes the sort of measures i'm taking. they were very disappointed yesterday when they had a meeting with the department of health and the nhs england and they decided they weren't going to jointly issue guidance that has been agreed by all of the main council charities. i understand it is quite likely guidance will come out today. but if you actually look, there is very little guidance for people in vulnerable positions like myself, people who are receiving as a treatment and all sorts of problems. colin, cani treatment and all sorts of problems. colin, can i ask you finally, how long do you expect to be in self isolation? as long as it takes? well, who knows? the chances are at the moment if the vaccine isn't available for 18 months, then we could have another bout of this virus next winter. it's still likely to be in the population, so people who are in a vulnerable situation are going to have take some sort of measures to protect themselves for

quite a long time into the foreseeable future. callan, thank you for spending time with us this morning. that is colin talbot in bedford. he has some of those underlying conditions we have heard about. he is a type two diabetic, he has some liquid on his lungs that he has some liquid on his lungs that he has heart problems as well. he's being helped his wife and two kids who can look after him. he taken the decision to remove himself from society. it sounds like a sensible decision for him. let's get more on the latest health advice, we'rejoined now by gp, doctor amir khan. good morning. in the interview dan just did, people are starting to ta ke very just did, people are starting to take very significant, practical measures. what about the rest of us without underlying health conditions? i came into work this morning with a bit of a cold? well... we are smiling but crying on the inside. we are smiling. what

should people be doing? i think colin is quite sensible. he has underlying conditions which put him at risk. he's lucky he has the luxury of being able to isolate himself, because other people may have to go to work, people like you and i. i think the general advice out there is still about hand washing, disinfecting surfaces and trying to keep a bit of a distance from people with a cold. but you are right, a runny nose isn't a symptom ofa right, a runny nose isn't a symptom of a coronavirus. but in terms of chronic health conditions, type 2 diabetes, emphysema, heart conditions, these things that people can do if they have to go to work like a lot of people have to do, the best thing to do to protect themselves against it is train get their chronic health conditions under the best control possible. the people at highest risk are those with poorly controlled diabetes, poorly controlled asthma and

emphysema, so now might be a really good time to see your gp or practice nurse about getting it under good control. colin clearly is completely cleaned up. he is not only listening to what the chief medical officer is saying, he is looking into his own condition, aching all that on—board making that decision. and he is able to ta ke making that decision. and he is able to take it as well because he is not in full—time employment. when people come into your surgery, is there still a huge level of ignorance about what coronavirus is and what the symptoms are and what people should do if they are feeling unwell with the symptoms? yes. there is a lot of information out there and it is confusing for people. as we keep saying, nhs websites are the best place to get the right information. and anybody who thinks they have got coronavirus, should not go to the gp. we are still seeing people come over to the front desk, collar over the place and —— all over the place and say i think i have got coronavirus. i had a case like that yesterday. we have signs all over

the place but people are still very concerned about it and there is panic in the population, u nfortu nately. we panic in the population, unfortunately. we saw in supermarkets, people coming to get medical help out well and that is putting us at risk but also our patients at risk as well. so if you can't go to the doctor, what can you do? what should you do if you have symptoms? if you have symptoms, and the symptoms are fever and temperature, and a dry cough that may have developed into breathing problems, it isn't a runny nose, it's not a sore throat, well, less likely to be those things. you can develop achey plans as well. if you have got those symptoms, stay—at—home and trying isolate yourself if you can other people in the household —— achey pains. also, ring 111 for advice and they will get you to a testing centre. don't go to get you to a testing centre. don't gotoa get you to a testing centre. don't go to a hospital, a&e or gp because there are vulnerable people there

who are at high risk. another thing to point out, and we have tried to be gentle on the way we explain it, there are some people watching this morning he will be worried about what happens in the coming weeks, the vast majority of people will only get a mild form of coronavirus, if they get it at all. yes. it's looking that way. we talked about chronic health problems, elderly people, but the vast majority of people, but the vast majority of people get mild—to—moderate symptoms and makea people get mild—to—moderate symptoms and make a full recovery. children, we know they do well get very, very mild symptoms. i'm getting a lot of questions about newborn babies, children, usually 0—9, they do very well and get mild symptoms and make a full recovery. you understand why people are worried for babies and children, don't you? you like i can fully understand that and there is a lot of good information out there and it's about finding the right place —— i can fully understand it. doctor amir khan, thank you very much indeed. it is 7:23am. listening to that was

former conservative mp and cabinet minister rory stewart, who has labelled the governments approach to tackling the coronavirus outbreak as half—hearted. he joins us now from our london newsroom. you were listening to what the government was saying yesterday and your opinion is that schools should be closed now. why? well, firstly i absolutely agree with you and not panic people, that means communicating clearly. that also means acting decisively. you can see in the us and italy, schools are being closed. i believe schools will being closed. i believe schools will be closed sooner or later. i thought it made sense to close them earlier rather than later, safety first. and this is because children themselves are not the victims of coronavirus, at least as we understand at the moment. there is evidence they can transmit the disease and schools are a big factorfor

transmit the disease and schools are a big factor for transmission and they can do even though they don't have symptoms. the chief medical officer, we have heard a lot, chris whitty speaking as well, crucially for him it's about when you introduce measures and if you introduce measures and if you introduce things like that too early it then becomes problematic to try and sustain that. can you appreciate that argument? i can absolutely and i have huge admiration for chris whitty. | i have huge admiration for chris whitty. i was lucky enough to work with him when i was briefly the secretary of state responsible for ebola, a very distinguished man. these are difficult questions but ultimately the politicians have to make thesejudgements ultimately the politicians have to make these judgements on what the public will or will not accept and how much to spend. what chris whitty is doing is provide his scientific advice on where he thinks the risk are but in the end the decision has to be made on where to close those schools. all of the evidence from other influenza pandemics around the world is that closing schools

earlier rather than later stops the peaks of this kind of disease. you mention when you are in office dealing with the ebola outbreak, can i ask you about the cobra meetings? we have been talking about coronavirus, but when you have been in those meetings, how much and how well listen to our those experts in terms of the making of decisions that those cobra get—togethers?” think people listen very, very carefully a nd think people listen very, very carefully and pay tribute to the way the government has been very careful to listen to expert advice. but i think the two things less clearly understood, one is the experts don't a lwa ys understood, one is the experts don't always agree with each other. particularly with a new disease like this, there are many things we don't know. we don't know, for example, what role children play in transmitting this kind of disease. and we still don't fully understand why china appears to have been much more successful than people predicted infighting —— infighting

out the number of cases was that the second thing is, even after all of the scientific advice has been given, the politicians have to decide how much money they are prepared to spend, how much risk they are prepared to take, and those aren't things a medical scientist can tell you. a medical scientist can tell you. a medical scientist can as much as they knows about the disease at the moment, but the politician has to decide how to respond to it. clearly, the challenge we are facing at the moment is the response we are taking in the us and in italy and at a much larger scale in china, is different from the response we are taking in britain. and we as individuals, as families, as groups of people, have to make those decisions ourselves. we were speaking to colin who has underlying conditions and he has so isolated because he is able to. it isolated because he is able to. it is finding a balance, isn't it, rory stewart, trying to keep people safe for the safety of themselves and theirfamily, where for the safety of themselves and their family, where from a government point of view, keeping the economy going and making sure that the panic that some people are

feeling at the moment, that doesn't extend to absolutely every area of life? it's a very difficult decision for the government. if schools closed, that has a huge impact on people's lies a nobody should minimise that. that is on the pa rents minimise that. that is on the parents and the education of the children and closing large gatherings is going to have a large impact on our economy. but my experience in these things is it is better to make those decisions earlier rather than later, to take the economic hit and even to pursue things that the scientists may say will only make a small difference is worth doing. even if it isjust will only make a small difference is worth doing. even if it is just by limiting how quickly a disease like this spreads, the more chance you have of getting your abrasions and place in the more chance if you can extend it through to a year or 18 months, i've getting a vaccine in place. now that is more difficult, but that is what china is hoping to do. they are hoping by taking very tough, aggressive actions, that they can stabilise this long enough to

get a vaccine in place. there are many scientists who think that is not possible, but i still think we should be trying to do that. rory stewart, we appreciate your time this morning. you can find the full list of candidates standing for london mayor, on the bbc news website. rory stewart is standing for that position. don't forget, you can keep up to date with all the developments around the coronavirus outbreak online. you can find out about the symptoms to watch out for and what it means for you on the bbc news app and on our website. that's bbc.co.uk/news amir khan was saying if you feel you have the symptoms, don't go to your doctors, don't go to the hospital, call 111. turning up at the doctor's reception is not the right thing to do. and on the bbc website, there is a clear indication of what the symptoms are. you have a cold today and a running nose but apparently thatis and a running nose but apparently that is not a symptom of coronavirus. it is a dry cough and

things progressed from there. so get the information out there and hopefully try to explain carefully what is happening and what the government's plans are and that will help you make decisions yourself this morning as well. plenty more coming up. communism good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a teenage boy who was stabbed to death on a bus in croydon has been named. 17—year—old damani mauge was murdered on sunday evening. police believe there was an altercation prior to the attack. they are appealing for witnesses. ahead of tomorrow's budget — an organisation which represents small businesses in the capital has called for the government to do more to help companies as the cornovirus spreads. the federation of small businesses says it's already having a big impact. it wants more support for the payment of statutory sick pay and a temporary compensation scheme for those

who are self—employed. there should be a new law banning disruptive airline passengers from flights. that's according to the mp for dartford, gareth johnson. he wants the courts to have the power to impose bans for a specific period of time. his bill will be debated by mps in the commons later. now he's the iconic artist known for pop art. a major new andy wahol exhibition is coming to the tate modern for the first first time in almost 20 years. as well as famous images of debbie harry and marilyn monroe the exhibition will include work that has never been in the uk let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes the bakerloo line is part suspended for emergency engineering works. there are severe delays on the northern line because of a faulty train at highgate. and there's no overground between euston and watford junction. that's because of damage to overhead lines at the weekend.

and that's also still affecting trains at euston.. one line is closed to watford junction — while repairs are done. on the roads — bloomsbury street remains closed at high holborn for roadworks. in the city — london wall is closed from moorgate to the museum of london roundabout. finally in croydon, park hill road is closed for repairs to a burst water main. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a mild start out there this morning, the actually temperature rose overnight last night. so, cloud and some light rain and drizzle first thing today. now, this light rain, it is going to come and go really through the morning, perhaps a little drier through the afternoon but we don't lose the cloud. it stays rather grey, perhaps a little bit of brightness further north you are towards the end of the afternoon. it's quite a breezy day, too, but temperatures regardless still reaching a mild 16 celsius. overnight, further outbreaks of rain. that front really lingering. it's going to stay quite cloudy, more showery as we head into wednesday morning. it is going to be a windy night, windfalls a little lighter, between 7—10 celsius, the minimum.

so central london perhaps not dropping below double figures. so, into tomorrow morning, another mild start, some showers at first but they clear to a brighter, greater afternoon with some sunshine. temperatures still in the mid—teens, 15 celsius. a colder day for thursday as the front moves through, we'll get some showers in the afternoon but temperatures, 11 celsius. you can find more stories on our website, facebook and instagram. now though it's back to dan and sally. have a lovely morning. bye for now. hello — this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. people in the uk are being advised against all but essential travel to italy, after the entire country was placed on lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus. the italian prime minister has said the strict quarantine measures introduced in the north

of the country were no longer sufficient. the illness has killed more than 460 people there — the largest number outside china. here, the foreign office said people returning from italy should self—isolate for 14 days. the uk's chief medical advisor, chris whitty, has announced that within the next fortnight anyone with even "minor" symptoms may have to self isolate in a bid to stop the spread of the virus. we're joined now by drjenny harries, england's deputy chief medical officer, who's in our westminster studio. good morning to you. doctor, five people have now died in the uk. is the alp rake regressing, unfolding as you might expect?” the alp rake regressing, unfolding as you might expect? i think sadly yes, obviously the very sad death has been in elderly people generally with underlying conditions and that isa group with underlying conditions and that is a group we are particularly concerned to support going forward. but with a new virus like this, we

can normally see, we can expect a peak in cases. it has a relatively slow take—off peak in cases. it has a relatively slow ta ke—off and peak in cases. it has a relatively slow take—off and that's where we are at the moment. it will start to rise quite sharply in the planning we are doing right across government is to try and minimise the peak and move it forward so that we can manage and support people safely through our health and care systems. the chief medical officer said people who showed mild systems would have to self isolate. why is that and when might that be coming? we are currently in the containment phase and your viewers will be aware of that, following up every case. that's been very successful. with over 300. still relatively low compared to the european countries. over time, as more cases come, we will be asking people entirely appropriately to contain themselves

at home. that were ready. what you've had the opportunity is learn about the disease with these first few hundred cases and we know the vast majority are pretty well, actually, if they stayed home, it's entirely open it they have access to health services if they needed. we will be moving from trying to manage containment to asking individuals to containment to asking individuals to contain themselves. some of suggested measures should be ramped up suggested measures should be ramped up significantly in school should be closed sooner than you would expect. can you understand why people are saying that and is he right? so on the first point, i can understand exactly, many of your viewers are concerned they will see and people will be wanting to see action taking place. i would will be wanting to see action taking place. iwould beg

will be wanting to see action taking place. i would beg to differ, either scientific basis with mr stewart because our advice in this country is founded entirely on scientific evidence. we have modellers working almost hourly at the moment, looking at cases as they arise and looking at cases as they arise and looking at the effects of various different interventions, including some of the ones which mr stewart in your reporters have mentioned. but actually, what we are trying to do is get a really balanced response, maximising the safety of the public, maximising the safety of the public, maximising the safety of the public, maximising the effectiveness of the health service but minimising disruption to people's lives and particularly to the economy and businesses. it's perfectly possible. we get the best outcomes, if you like, for health and public safety if we firstly make sure interventions are put in at exactly the right moment and secondly the ones which are most effective so that when the chief medical officer yesterday noted about seafoam isolation for people with mild

symptoms, that is extremely effective in trying to move our curve, our epidemic curve forward but equally, providing more detailed advice to make sure the captors safe as possible. but some of these interventions need to be kept in place for a reasonable amount of time of the evidence she adjusts people will lose compliance. intervention hits. for maximum effect. talk is through one more time, the preventative measures. day to day. the first one at the moment is go about your lives as normal. be aware obviously that we have a new virus in circulation and take the same sorts of measures you normally do in winterforflu so it is same sorts of measures you normally do in winter for flu so it is very much washing your hands, wash them thoroughly far more often than you normally do, for 20 seconds with soap and water but the other one is also not to forget to catch your

coughs and sneezes in a tissue and to bin that really e. let's talk about what the government is planning to do at the moment. there is no decision to cancel large gatherings or events, what is your opinion on that? when might they come in. i don't think it will necessarily come in and it goes back to the conversation with pat. banning large gatherings immediately wasn't in effective intervention with our population without epidemiology, the government would have taken the decision already. that is not what our modelling suggests we are trying to stick very carefully to the science. it is easy to think that will be effect. in fa ct, to think that will be effect. in fact, it's slightly counterintuitive. people should be going to their events. people should be taking appropriate hygiene. that's the most important thing they can do. the virus will lose its viability to transmit outside in so

many outdoor events particularly are relatively safe. 0k, doctor, let's go back to the science, because i know you are looking at the pattern of what's happened in china and italy as well. do you have any idea in terms of numbers how many people in this country might eventually become affected? so i think that's quite difficult to tell. we have worked out as you would expect a responsible government to do a worse place scenario. with support systems but it's going to be wait—and—see. when this epidemic is passed. the numbers currently in china for example are up to 20% but of course they have put in measures and will be looking to see what happens when those measures come off. this goes back to the point about the timing and how effective things are. you

need to ensure you minimise and drop the numbers down and push them forward and not allow the epidemic to research at the end. there is huge concern among the general public that the under huge strain, might not be able to cope with the influx of patients coming in. are there enough intensive care beds? most people, just to reiterate, won't need an intensive care bed. most will not need to be in hospital. this is not about the whole population needing to go to hospital. most will be entirely safe at home and our unsung heroes will be the general practitioners out in local communities. those people are to, the nhs always has emergency systems for flexing their bed capacity up and down and there are a very advanced plans which have been exercised to make sure we can maximise the numbers of those who can use what we would call a

respiratory bed, effective interventions for people with breathing problems. can you predict at this stage when this cycle might end? when might we see the end of the rapid increase of infections? you mean, well, professor witter yesterday said within10—14 days we will be likely to advise people with symptoms to self isolate and we are expecting that start if you like of the peak to come during that period. the scientific advisory group epidemics is meeting this morning and they will be looking at that once again. do you think the advice might change? that theory might change today? i think the prime minister has indicated, sometime during this week, we will be giving more advice but it is really important that advice is timed because there are adverse consequences if you do it too early and if you do it too late. drjenny

harries, thank you very much indeed. deputy chief medical officer dr harries with a lot of great information. you are probably safer atan information. you are probably safer at an outdoor sporting event inside, don't go to the doctor, continue to wash your hands for 20 seconds, all the stuff we are hearing all the time. some good clear advice for you this morning. jane is going to be talking about the start of cheltenham in sport a bit later. global financial markets are still recovering after a turbulent day that's been dubbed ‘black monday'. nina is in the city of london for us. taking a look at today and going forward. good morning. good morning. the traders have started arriving this morning. i asked scott how yesterday was, he said it was a bit busy, the understatement of the year. it's been dubbed black monday because

7.7% of the ftse100 value was wiped off yesterday. things were really bad and the states as well, they suspend
