jaxon: bea says this kind of extreme damage doesn't happy overnight. he says the steel was worn down over time by what engineers call fretting corrosion. bob: those two services sand each other, so one surface wears into the other surface. it takes a long time to develop, high stresses on-- and sometimes water. jaxon: and you've got all that here? bob: yes. jaxon: and it's not just the hooks. look at the steel plate that held one of those hooks in place on one of the towers. dan: it's just amazing that it was still up in the air with that much damage. jaxon: mulkey questions how pg&e could have missed so much erosion for so many years. dan: that level of damage, it really makes me wonder about the whole inspection. what the heck is going on? you know, you're not finding things that should be obvious and are things that are absolutely critical. how much more is there out there? jaxon: we sent these pictures to pg&e and asked just that. the utility told us it has covered some 5,000 miles of transmission lines in high fire threat areas from top to bottom

it seems to bea of all toilet paper. it seems to be a common factor here.g toilet paper when we get into a situation like this. but that is probably not a sensible measure at the moment. one way of looking but this is that if we all rushed to the supermarket and panic by things, we are going to create a mass gathering in a supermarket which is exactly what the government is telling us what the government is telling us not to do. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: england hold off wales in a closely fought victory, in rugby‘s six nations championship. music with a message. the campaign in vietnam trying to teach people to properly wash their hands. the numbers of dead and wounded defied belief. this the worst terrorist atrocity on european soil in modern times. in less than 2a hours then the soviet union lost an elderly sick leader and replaced him with a dynamic figure 20 years his junior. we heard these gunshots in the gym. then he came out through a fire exit and started firing at our huts. god, we were all petrified. james earl ray, aged 41,

this is going to bea contract the virus.i imagine, where all the headlines will be about the coronavirus and what people are interested in will be the nuts and bolts of assistance that the government is prepared to provide during this crisis. and norman, nadine dorries, the health minister, as we have been reporting, testing positive for coronavirus and self isolating at the moment. i spoke to another mp a little earlier, rachael maskell, a labour mp, who had a meeting with nadine dorries last week. as a result of nhs advice, she is also self isolating, which begs the question, could and should the prime minister and others in government who had contact with nadine dorries last week follow suit? well, the short answer is, they haven't at the moment because we know they are going about their business as usual. but it seems to me to bea business as usual. but it seems to me to be a fair question, because nadine dorries, it seems, has met... 0bviously, she has met health officials and health ministers but perhaps more important

so this effectively means that it could bea this effectively means that it could be a very, very bigces. that being said, i think the compass for us being said, i think the compass for us should be to try and have scenarios depending on how the virus epidemic evolves. if we are confined for a couple of months and we find a vaccine and then it's gone, you are going to accuse me again of erring on the optimistic side but there are lots of scenarios and it could be the virus clearly goes away but comes back in the winter or that we struggle to actually eradicated until we find or just struggle to actually eradicated until we find orjust reduce it until we find orjust reduce it until we find a vaccine and this will open the door to a variety of economic scenarios on which i don't think anybody today can have any certainty. right. what we do know and you've already alluded to it is that governments around the world are now pumping vast amounts of cash into their economies to bail out businesses, support and pop—up businesses, support and pop—up businesses and indeed to hand cash to indivi

i think the budget will bea spreading? i think the budget will be a whopper.to go bar lots of money to spend on capitals, so there's different this of spending. i think you're right that coronavirus will be reflected in the budget and i think it will reflect the tone, but remembertwo think it will reflect the tone, but remember two things. one, think it will reflect the tone, but remembertwo things. one, the think it will reflect the tone, but remember two things. one, the data that the government is using to do it sums around this hasn't begun to come through because it's, and terms of coronavirus, and seconds of all, i don't think that even if this has an effect on the economy that the government's belief at the moment is that it may be very significant. it would be temporary. so they're not expecting it's can be suddenly like, massive financial meltdown. it might be very disruptive, but not, you know necessarily... they don't know. nobody can know the extent. it may disrupt everybody's lives. there is a really good programme of scenario planning and they we

monday looks likely again to bea some time. again to be a relatively quiet story with the exception of western fringes of scotla nd the exception of western fringes of scotland which may see some rain from the weather front. that sets up for the trend in the longer term. high—pressure which we have not seen for some time could stay with us. england and wales, and weak weather front introducing cloud and rain. next week looks predominantly dry, settled and sunday and, if this happens, we have not seen weather like this for a long period of time, since september of last year. hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at the papers in a moment but first, the headlines: the prime minister will chair a cobra meeting tomorrow, where the government is expected to move into the next stage of its coronavirus strategy from contain to delay. today, the chancellor unveiled the biggest spending budget for over 25 yea rs, biggest spending budget for over 25 years, with more cash to protect the economy against the impact of coronavirus.

overwhelmed by the oldest and sickest people and knowing how to look after them in the best we can bea in the best we can be a challenge. you end up with a social care system which can struggle. this isn't all about care homes, it's about people in their own homes who have carers coming to see them as well. making sure that we see them as well. making sure that we minimise the risk of those people being infected in the first place but also then have the systems in place as a country to look after them if they are is a challenge. and of course they rely on visitors, family members, many of whom will be questioning whether it is right to go. for elderly people with dementia, this is a frightening time. what you have to think about is what would you do at any other time if there was an infection? if you were time if there was an infection? if you were ill, who looks after your mother, your grandmother or whoever it is at that time? that's the kind of thing you have to fall back on here, really. because you are right. if you're showing some of the symptoms of coronavirus, the advice will b

yesterday, however, might possibly bea yesterday, however, might possibly be a turning point.at least businesses can have some sort of hibernation period during the next couple of months. who knows how long this will go on for. all we know is from what borisjohnson said yesterday, that there will be a review on a month by month basis. thanks very much. an emergency package of measures announced by the british chancellor, rishi sunak, last night — the second within a week — has been widely welcomed. it includes grants covering 80% of the salaries of workers at risk of losing theirjobs. but there's concern that freelance, self—employed and contract workers aren't included and will have to rely on benefits. the chief secretary to the treasury, stephen barclay, has been responding to those criticisms. i very much recognise we are in an unprecedented situation with the health emergency, working across political, working with the tuc, working with business leaders, working across the uk with the welsh, scottish and northern ireland governments to respond. the specific things we have

because there seems to bea particular.een how feasible the governor thinks a total lockdown, quarantine, would be in new york city, which is what donald trump says he is considering. yes, so i know that cuomo has generally been against a full quarantine, because i think it is really difficult to lockdown a city the size of new york and especially since you would need the cooperation of the surrounding areas. so i know that the governor has been doing a really awesome job trying to, you know, get eve ryo ne trying to, you know, get everyone order to stay home, get hospital set up, you know, as far as get hospital set up, you know, as farasa get hospital set up, you know, as far as a quarantine, i don't know if it would work at this point, because a lot of people have left the city and gone to, you know, small towns, or other areas, a lot of people have gone down to florida to try to get out of the city. lisa gualtieri alford speaking to us from queens in new york. let's get some of the day's other coronavirus news. the stor

may bring a bit of patchy rain towards the western isles whereas for many of us on sunday there will bea sunshine around and perhaps that is deliveries willjust ease a little bit. temperatures for the most part from 7— ii celsius. there is a ridge of high pressure still poking out towards the uk sunday into monday, there are weather fronts trying to creep in from the north—west, so on monday, while many places will stay dry with some sunshine, cloud increases for some sunshine, cloud increases for some and northern ireland and scotla nd some and northern ireland and scotland and this weather front may start to push in. is an indication as we go into net we, there is a north south of the developing across the uk stopping the further south you are and particularly for england and wales, the high—pressure should keep things mainly dry whereas for scotla nd keep things mainly dry whereas for scotland and northern ireland there is a greater chance of seeing weather fronts moving and occasionally bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain. a battle between low and high pressure but wherever high—pre

we know it's going to bea economic impact.t's going to be a big knock, we know it will probably be equivalent to 2008... for sure? i think it will be, yes. but i don't know how it's going to play out around the world because we don't know the response. you just said we know there's going to be an economic impact, so what kind of impactare we economic impact, so what kind of impact are we talking about? is it going to affect people's livelihoods, are they going to be compromised, are they going to be widespread shortages of consumer and industrial goods? impact on people's social lives, what kind of impact are you talking about? all of the above. we're already seeing a dramatic on people who are vulnerable. people's pensions have gone down dramatically after the stock market crash, they have less to spend, people on hourly work, 5 million in the uk and 50 million in the us, people around the world on hourly work depend on going to work to get their income, they day, no unemployment benefit, supporting theirfamilies, unemploymen

,bea parliament earlier, it will be a sharp spike in cases from the number announced yesterday which was 36. we have said consistently now for the past couple of weeks that we have been expecting to see cases rise and that will continue to be the case. the other significant factor from the update today is that we have evidence in a further two cases of community transmission. and that is clearly significant in some of what i'm coming on to talk about around the the cobra meeting hasjust concluded. it was attended by the scottish government first minister of wales and northern ireland as well. the decision has been taken that we have now moved from a contained phase into the delay phase, where the objective is to seek to slow down the spread of the virus, to reduce the numbers who will be infected at peak, the numbers infected at any one time. that is clearly important in terms of trying to alleviate the pressure that —— at any one time placed on oui’ that —— at any one time placed on our national health service. and another key focus of that, and indeed later phases of this response,

they will bea policing by consent here.will be a great resistance to this notion that they should or would want to be given greater powers, such as we we re given greater powers, such as we were discussing there, where you actually have to have documentation to leave the house. and we know, we think we know, it has been mooted that michael gove is in fact in favour of those more draconian measures. but i think what will remain to be seen as if we see the public now adhering to that. and certainly when i was out and about today, we went for our one walk with the children this afternoon along the children this afternoon along the river, it was quite clear that people were being a bit more cautious. but there were still lots of people out and about. so i think one of the things that we will see now is the government taking stock of what the numbers look like, and whether or not we are seeing those nhs services starting to be overwhelmed, as to whether they restrict them anymore. and andy, the other side of what the government

yes, social care will bea looked after. yes, social care will be a real pro bubble.ursing homes where we look after elderly or vulnerable patients, patients have had temperatures, fevers, coughs, we have been up to see them and they are have been up to see them and they a re low have been up to see them and they are low risk at the moment but as time goes on the numbers of people infected gets higher and higher, we are infected gets higher and higher, we a re really infected gets higher and higher, we are really going to have to review the way we look after our nursing home patients, because they can't go to hospital, they can't leave the nursing home because of their other illnesses but if we go out to see them, we risk infecting ourselves and then other people, so there is a lot of things that haven't quite clearly been defined yet for us, but i'm hoping that it sounds like. good to have your thoughts, thank you very much, doctor amir khan in leeds. here is my colleaguejane hill with a reminder of some important information about the virus. this is what we all need

this will do, as well as a very serious cases of this impacting people in their health, is also may beaderlying inequalities in our society. if you think about things like working from home, for some people that is not possible. so there is a concern i think about looking at a broader social contract with things like the happen. i'm curious on how this will happen in the coming weeks and months. curious on how this will happen in the coming weeks and monthsm curious on how this will happen in the coming weeks and months. it does raise loss of issues to the talk here in this article about we are moving now from what we called the contained stage of their response plan to the delay stage. there's beena plan to the delay stage. there's been a whole thing about how the government has handled the crisis. i think generally have made it very well. it's one of those things in social media that you know, fiction can outstrip facts. them doing that by having the chief medical officer outdoing broadcast. they probably given more information and perhaps somebody... i think transparency is incredibl

they might bea not always be those people. list depending on what people are working on. however, ithink depending on what people are working on. however, i think the effort is to inform people and it does follow some criticism over the weekend of the government public messaging. the way in which the announcement of asking the over 70s within weeks to stay at home emerged in dribs and drabs overnight in this apparent contradiction on whether the government exit herd immunity, tilting up immunity within the population, is something they should be aiming for. labour are welcoming the fact there is going to be a daily crest saying it is something they have been calling for. i think government sources will probably suggest daily press conferences are something that has always been on the cards in the time is right. clearly they have decided the time is right tomorrow. john mcdonnell has said that it has taken a lot of pressure for the government to get to that point. he has said that in the government will push back and say that i

there will bea the agenda. i think so.kness benefits. the self—employed potentially could be at risk, but the low paid workers, if you earn less than hundred and £18 a week, you can't claim sickness benefit. people in part—time contracts, and a large group of people, and a number of the trade unions have written to the treasury asking for some clarity about what happens, because presumably they would have to go on to universal credit, but as we know, universal credit, but as we know, universal credit is very controversial and it ta kes credit is very controversial and it takes some weeks before you get your first payment, so i expect mr cockburn might want to pick up on some of that, the lack of detail —— mr corbyn might want to pick up on the lack of detail in the prime minister's approach. also in terms of the nhs in care homes, and more broadly on the treasury and what happens to companies who suddenly face a loss of workers, bearing in mind that there is an estimate of about a fifth of employees being off sick. what ha

there will bea but it will not be easy.ve surgery and elective treatments that will have to be delayed as a result of this, partly because of the patients, but also because many health care workers will have to go off sick and possibly self—isolate as well. so it's going to be tough, but i don't think it will lead to the collapse of the health service. if some of the delaying strategies do their job, then maybe we will be able to ta ke job, then maybe we will be able to take it in our stride. a final point on this concept of a peak because lots of viewers are asking, how do we define this? the prime yesterday talked about measures to delay the peak until the summer. —— the prime minister yesterday. then we have experts saying we should expect in the next couple of weeks. are we talking about two different things here? well, it is certainly plausible we could delay it to the summer. plausible we could delay it to the summer. if we did that, it would make life a lot easier. i do not think that is likely, i think we will see,

if we left it too early, i think there is a possibility that there is going to bea possibility that there the infection among the population. so, if we look at the virus spread, usually incubation period is around 5—14 days before it spreads to other people, and we should give it time so that people don't end up time so that people don't end up getting a surge in infection in the city and cripple the healthcare system. social distancing will help. tell us about the use of big data, you mentioned in taiwan, data was key to them containing those who were infected and finding out who they were with as well at the time. took us through how that has been quite critical in the fight globally. i think the use of data for decision—making is critical. in the case of taiwan, because they already had datasets available, they were able to quickly link them. in many places in the us, data are kept in separate servers and separate databases, in separate servers and separate data bases, but in separate servers and separate databases, but even under those situations, i think individual institutions such
