w has the first leg, butjuergen klopp has not lost here in any of their champions league matches, that is 15 matches. no alisson tonight with a hip injury but andy robertson is also back and it has as birthday today so it could be another of those special nights under the enfield lights. they usually are, thanks very much indeed. hanover defender timo hubers has contracted the virus and has been quarantined at home. the rest of the playing staff at the german second—tier side have been tested. three formula one team members at haas and mcalren have shown symptoms of the virus and are self isolating ahead of sunday‘ 5 australian grand prix. the new look fed cup finals, scheduled for next month in budapest, have been postponed because of the coronavirus. hungary have banned public gathering of more than a hundred people. no new date has been set. england lionesses play theirfinal game

at the shebelieves cup this evening. they face spain in frisco, which isjust outside dallas. our sports correspondent katie gornall is at the toyota stadium. katie, we've talked a lot about the impact of coronavirus in sport, you're in texas, that's seen the motogp race called off there next month, much concern where you are. that is right. it hasn't affected the sporting landscape in texas and the sporting landscape in texas and the us as much as in europe, but it is having an impact. we have heard that the major leagues have closed the locker rooms for all but nonessential staff. journalists were not able to access the locker room is to ask questions as they normally would have done. the moto gp was cancelled in austin but that was due to logistical concerns for large numbers of fans, staff, freight, all travelling internationally so that is why that was cancelled. in terms

of this game here, it is very much business as usual. us soccer expecting a sell—out crowd and they say they are monitoring the situation very closely but there hasn't been any plans to play in front of empty stadiums or postpone 01’ front of empty stadiums or postpone or cancel any games. they are taking measures, more hand sanitiser and staff wiping down surfaces, but i put the concerns to phil neville and he says that as things stand, unless the advice changes he is not concerned. we are in a country where we played in front of a big crowd on oui’ we played in front of a big crowd on our new york, a good crowd in dallas as well, we have through airports which is probably the largest gathering of people. we have gone on commercial flights with the general public, so at no point has my organisation said at any point they are worried about is taking commercial flights are going to airports, so we have got to be guided and trusted by our own organisation. phil neville has been fairly open

talking about his position, and says how important the continuing support of the fa is. this set off a few alarm bells, does he need a really impressive result to buy himself a bit of credit? i think he does and that is a fair point. he knows hisjob is safe and we know but a win would certainly ease the scrutiny. england no coming in that they are unlikely to retain the cup after their opening defeat to the usa but now they have that the win against japan what they really wa nt the win against japan what they really want is a bit of momentum. they haven't had it for some time and haven't won back—to—back games sincejune and haven't won back—to—back games since june so they and haven't won back—to—back games sincejune so they are desperate for a win that would notjust give them something to build on but a platform heading into the olympics with some of the players heading into the home euros just around the corner. should england lose the pressure would increase on phil neville and we will be back to talking about whether england have regressed under him. they have their work cut out against spain later. spain are a much improved side. on paper the lowest

ranked team in the tournament and england would be expected to beat them but i think it will be much closer than that. phil neville has said he will make five to six changes for this game and freshness is key but it is a huge team selection is really the success of this tournament hinges on what happens here later again spain. we will wait and see, thank you. the cheltenham festival continues. there was a surprise in the queen mother champiion chase. for all the day 2 headlines let's cross live to the course and speak to our correspondent andy swiss. evening, andy. before we get to the racing, attendances were markedly down yesterday, things picked up today. yes, today has been slightly better as you say, all the fans are relieved that this festival is actually happening at all. a lot of them were fearing the worst but there is huge concern and signs

everywhere telling us to wash your hands on 2a hand sanitising stations dotted around the course, and concerns also about attendances. the crowds down 7000 on the opening day last year. i can tell you the second they crowd is down just 2000 on last year's. around 57,000 fans here today and bearing in mind all the uncertainty in the build—up to the festival around coronavirus, you suspect that the organisers will be pretty satisfied with that. the champion chase had already had a couple of leading contenders pull out, but paul nicholls has joined the cheltenham party. that's right, a big shock in the big race of the day, the champion chase. the red—hot favourites beforehand was really nowhere to be seen as the horse ridden by harry skelton, trained by paul nicholls, produced a

commanding display, leading pretty much from the start to the finish. what the light also for the owner john hales who was in tears at the end. a superb performance, he finished second in last year's race but this year it was an emotional and emphatic victory. unbelievable. every jockey's dream to and emphatic victory. unbelievable. everyjockey's dream to take a look to the right and take a look at all the fans and cross the line in front, everything went perfectly well and barely saw another writer the whole way and he jumped and galloped and was very brave up to the last and get on well. a good finish but not as good as in the novices chase. barry gerraghty came out of nowhere for another win. what an incredible finish that was, as you say champ, nowhere to be seen

coming into the closing stages but came through to nick it on the line, a quite remarkable finish to the race. what a bit ofjockeying to ta ke race. what a bit ofjockeying to take it on the line. champ is named after the great ap mccoy and terrific celebrations from his five—year—old son archie celebrating with zara tindall and the princess royal. certainly a right his dad would have been very proud of indeed. also a shock on the cross—country chase where tiger, the defending champion, who of course has won the grand national for the last two years, was beaten into second place by eases land. tiger's trainer said afterwards he was not helped by the soft ground, but beaten into second, so a date with a

fair few surprises. it certainly has. thanks indeed, world hurdle and the gold cup to come over the next couple of days. that is just about it from us, but don't forget commentary on liverpool and atletico madrid on bbc five live and go to the bbc website for the latest in coronavirus and how that is hitting sport hard. for me and the team, goodbye. more now on the coronavirus and the budget today. just to let you know that it budget today. just to let you know thatitis budget today. just to let you know that it is being reported that two more people have died as a result of contracting the virus in the uk taking the number we understand up to eight. of course the budget focused initially on the coronavirus, chancellor rishi sunak

has promised £12 billion of funding to help with tackling the outbreak and it is part of a £30 billion package to boost the economy and get the country through the coronavirus outbreak at the moment. let's get some reaction to that. i am joined by the acting leader of the liberal democrats are ed davey. surely there is everything here for the lib dems to welcome that the government spending not only now to deal with virus outbreak but also for future investment. the real concern the liberal democrats have as the economy. if you look at the independent forecasts published alongside the budget by the office for budget responsibility, it shows oui’ for budget responsibility, it shows our economy really doing very badly, not just this year our economy really doing very badly, notjust this year because of the coronavirus. that wasn't even in the figure in the figures are bad enough, but if you look ahead three orfour enough, but if you look ahead three or four years, even with this big spending, the economy is going to grow very slowly and that is bad news forjobs, bad news for living

standards, and the real reason behind that is brexit. and yet, even if brexit has been a factor and will of course be a factor, the government could never have seen this coronavirus outbreak and the rock to the global economy that it is going to college. do you not support, can you not now support what the government is doing? the size of the threat to our economy of the coronavirus was met both by the bank of england, taking a lot of measures today, and the chancellor, and of course we welcome that. i think our questions are, whether or not it is enough for people on low incomes, particularly self—employed than people in the gig economy on zero—hour contracts. we need them to self—isolate if they have got the symptoms of the coronavirus, and the question is will the package today be sufficient to make sure that they don't feel they have to workjust be sufficient to make sure that they don't feel they have to work just to put food on the table? is there

anything you think they should do differently or that they should now do? the statutory sick the proposals need to be looked at because it is quite low in this country. there is a question about whether that actually goes far enough and whether it can extend to all the people i have just been talking about. we do need to see the government keeping this under review because we are all under uncertainty and i am not criticising the government because this is very new territory for everybody and we have to look at it very carefully and make sure the most vulnerable in our society are looked after. the liberal democrats are particularly worried about the ca re are particularly worried about the care sector. we are going into this coronavirus epidemic with record shortages of nurses, with 120,000 vacancies in the care sector, and thatis vacancies in the care sector, and that is not a strong position to be going into this really difficult problem. just politically, you of

course were part of the coalition government, part of those austerity plans so many years ago which the government now says they're going to level up and sort out, doesn't this make you a rather frustrated, that if the conservatives had agreed to the sort of plan when you were in government, things would look very different not least for the liberal democrats? the last five years the conservatives have been in government by themselves and many of the problems we have got in our society stem from those five years, when it was conservatives by themselves, for example, when they get rid of the bursary for student nurses. that has caused the severe shortage in nurses that are keeping the nhs in a sort of crisis. so i don't think the government, the conservatives, should escape the blame. they are the ones to blame for the situation right now, they have been in government by themselves five years and the question is, have they really risen to the challenge of the nhs in the

ca re to the challenge of the nhs in the care sector and the jury is very much out on that. one other thought on the fuel duty question. we have seen crude oil prices come down in the last few days. that the government miss an opportunity to do something on the climate change question by putting up fuel duty, because obviously petrol prices might have then stayed the same because things with a balanced out, and they missed a big opportunity given the climate change summit at the end of the year. i think it was a very bad budget for the climate. when britain are supposed to be leading the way, because of us being the host of the climate talks in november in glasgow, we should have been having a very bold and ambitious set of measures for climate change. that is what the liberal democrats argued for. instead we saw fuel duty still being frozen, as you say, when all the prices are going down and that should have gone up to send the right signal, and we shouldn't be spending £27 billion on a rose

programme. we need to get cracking with electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. we need to make sure we are investing in building stocks, so those people living in leaky homes that are damp and hard to heat that are emitting lots of carbon, that are emitting lots of carbon, that they get refurbished and that people can therefore get lower energy bills. this was a real opportunity to deal with the climate and the government flunked it. thanks very much indeed. acting leader of the liberal democrats giving is that reaction to today's budget. we are going to get some more from westminster in the next few minutes, matt hancock the health secretary due to be giving a statement to the commons, we will be bring you that life and that will be in beyond 100 days, stay with us for that.

you're watching beyond one hundred days. the global coronavirus outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the world health organisation. the un agency has expressed increasing concern about the spread of the disease and the "alarming levels of inaction". but the head of the who said countries can still change the course of this pandemic if they mobilise — to test, treat and isolate those infected they have been assessing this outbreak around the clock and are deeply concerned by the alarming levels of spread and severity and by the alarming levels of an
