let's just that expertise here in the nhs in the uk. let'sjust take a look at the uk.ewers joining the statement itself again because there may be viewersjoining us. this is from the chief medical officer, saying we can confirm two patients in england who are members of the same family have tested family for coronavirus. the patients are receiving specialist nhs care and we are using tried and tested infection protection procedures. the nhs is extremely well prepared and used to managing infections and are working rapidly to identify any contacts the patients had to prevent further spread. we have been preparing for uk cases of coronavirus and we have robust measures in place and we are continuing to work closely with the world health organization and the international community as the african china develops to ensure we are ready for all eventualities. so when the professor says we are ready for all eventualities, what are the all eventualities? all eventualities means more cases, tracing contacts and finding they are unwell, discovering there are more people, through

we will continue to live in the uk under eu rules. 11-month transition period falls into place uk members will immediately lose their seats in the european parliament and british leaders will no longer take part in uk summits. today marks the end of the membership which came into effect january 1, 1973 members of the cabinet are set to gather in northern england before prime minister boris johnson delivers a special address at 2200 gmt. government buildings will be lit up in red, white and blue and union jack flags will mark the occasion a countdown cloak will be projected on to number 10 downing street as we pointed out a number of times, there will be no bong from big ben here. they were going to have a whit round. i think there was a funding campaign the reality is, that will not happen there will be other celebrations in other parts of the uk >> it might be disappointing for some instead of focusing on the big bong, let's focus on the big picture. we have a cast across europe steve is in central london and julianna is the uk border and then joining us from brussels, as well. before we

between the uk and the eu. a say in the kind of arrangements that it will have to be part of that compromise agreement. how that works in who gets to be in the room when it is rather unknown and i expect those are some of the questions it will come to the fore in the next 11 months. ok, thank you very much from the border, emma. a few tweaks in the border, emma. a few tweaks in the last minutes about business and raising a point that you said commit had three years to prepare and someone said we have not had three yea rs someone said we have not had three years because someone said we have not had three yea rs because we someone said we have not had three years because we did not know what to prepare for. and they still don't really know, right? they have to see the shape of a trade deal and i suppose you can say it is six months before something emerges. you could say that borisjohnson before something emerges. you could say that boris johnson and the chancellor seem to have echoed that don't hold out for full

the rights of eu citizens in the uk, and uk citizens in the eu remain the same.part of the eu's single market and the customs union. but transition period ends on december 31. and boris johnson insists there will be no extension. that means thrashing out a new trade deal between the uk and the eu in a time frame many say is very tight. here's the eu's chief negotiator on that. this negotiation is not usual, because at the end of this year, because at the end of this year, because the uk is leaving the single market, its its choice, and is leaving the customs union, if we have a new agreement, it will not be business as usual, we have to face the risk of a cliff edge in particular for trade. just to reiterate something we'd out a lot, what's gone before, the withdrawal deal, all about the terms of the ukdeparture. after tomorrow, a new phase of negotiations kicks in — focused on the future relationship. there is no better guide on what's to come than adam fleming. in the last two and half years of the brexit talks, i've spent a lot of time in this pub, but, here a

if the uk government is not going to allow european citizens to move to the uk so easily, or even likegoing to happen to brits, or something very similar. so matt, for one, won't be celebrating this day. leaving brexit will prove a loss, not a liberation. david grammaticas, bbc news, madrid. watch out for fishing. this is a very important industry and there will be a big punch—up on fishing rights, which, ithink will be a big punch—up on fishing rights, which, i think will set the tone as to how the trade negotiations will go. thank you very who had been evacuated from let's ta ke very who had been evacuated from let's take eli to raf brize norton whether playing is just arriving from china, from the city of wuhan, the centre of the corona virus outbreak. it is carrying more than 80 british citizens, 83 in all, who had been evacuated just landing raf will be in quarantine for 14 days after they arrived at raf they will be in quarantine for 14 days after they arrived at raf brize norton. time for a look at the weather.

they got a last—minute message from uk officials. they called us from uk officials. and said that there is a good guarantee that they will allow jamie on the plane. for other families, though, the call came too late. adam bridgeman, who has a chinese wife and a newborn baby, remains in will hand. —— wuhan. here at the foreign office, there will no doubt be a sense of relief that they've managed to fly the first british citizens out of wuhan. there had been a sense of anger amongst those stranded there that initially the advice from officials here was that they should leave of their own accord, even though much of the area was incomplete down. those flown home will be taken to arrow park hospital on the wirral. they will spend 1a days in quarantine on former staff accommodation blocks. the world health organization has now declared a global emergency but it stresses this unprecedented out rate was being met with unprecedented response. simon jones, bbc news. for more on that story, breakfast is at 6am with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. this is the briefing from bb

i think this is a unique way for the uk and uk government to say, any softwa re uk and uk governmentwei needs to go through this independent evaluation centre, i think they employ a0 people and they give the green light or the red light on any thing that gets deployed and i think in this age of where the us are simply blocking companies like huawei, the uk and its government is right to say we have another solution. we need to make sure they adhere to our standards under principles and data privacy rules. but, you know, if they pass all of those inspections, they pass all of those inspections, they should be able to come in. are you concerned about where this is going in terms of the relationship between the us and the uk? going in terms of the relationship between the us and the uk7m going in terms of the relationship between the us and the uk? it will have an impact because clearly the us is upping the pressure on the uk in terms of wanting to just block anything related to china. i think, you know, as long as the uk can stand its ground and demonstrate why these decisions are bein

that are in the uk, they are in the uk because they want to trade into europe.egulation, will the car have to be reinspected when they ship it between the uk and the eu? and until they know the answer to that question, for a lot of traders there it is hard to say whether a deal with uk is really such a good idea or not. just on that point, jennifer, we are talking about what gets done first, can they be done simultaneously, wouldn'tjohnson, us ambassador over here, he told me so long ago when we were looking at a very close customs union, when we we re very close customs union, when we were looking at a closer relationship with the european union, but that would make it very difficult to do a trade deal. are the american saying to the uk, look, you need to deal with us at the same time? because if you do a line on certain areas with the eu, again, it is going to rule out some of the things we can do on the us—uk trade deal. —— align on certain areas with the eu. again, it can cut both ways. you have to remember that for the united states, the market in the europ

between the uk and the usw of negativity around relations between the uk and the us.s difficult. huawei is a big issue, that chinese telecom giant, whether they are going to play hard on that issue. so there are all these background issues. this is extremely positive. i don't mean to be doom and gloom but it seems to be a slightly needy front—page story on brexit and the boost we will get. we should be looking at how parts of the country are marking brexit day here on the news channel. i'm going toa pub here on the news channel. i'm going to a pub called the rising sun for a new dawn. i'm sure you could come with me. and that is it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to my guests and coming up next we have sport. good evening. here's your latest sports news. premier league leaders, liverpool survived a scare against wolves to win 2—1 at moli

and today, we learnt that for the uk, this feature, for the uk, this future, at least in part, will bee in china. this may prove to be one of the most significant national security decisions of recent times. but the defence secretary told me tonight that the restrictions announced today will limit any risk from huawei. i don't think we should get so paranoid that somehow this is going to lead to big brother from china watching us. what it really means is that we have to make sure that first of all the commitments made by huawei are met but also that are world—leading, and it is a first, we are the first nation to try this, that this is enforced. but even amongst senior conservatives, not all are convinced the measures are enough. bear in mind, huawei has tens of thousands, i think as many as 80,000 researchers. they have got more researchers than we have got soldiers, let alone gchq analysts, so it is a huge operation we are talking about here and it's a very complex exercise to stop them. but a huawei executive told me accusations of spying were groundless. it's definitely not the tru

so, when eu leaders are 110w the uk can.s after brexit we will love you but we will do you no favours across the negotiation table, they mean it. thank you. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has said that today was a "pivotal moment", with the "real and profound sadness" felt by many scots also tinged with anger, as scotland was being taken out of the eu against its will. 0ur scotland editor, sarah smith, is at holyrood this evening. hundreds of demonstrators have already gathered here tonight and there are vigil is planned across scotla nd there are vigil is planned across scotland as well this evening. lamenting the fact we are leaving the eu, even though scotland voted to remain. many of the people here are now loudly demanding that they should have the right to have another referendum on scottish independence. the stars of the eu flag will no longer represent the uk, but many in scotland hope they can rejoin as an independent nation. that's why one artist is floating candles outside the scottish parliament, to

mattie, there is clearly no way that the us and uk are going to agree on the us and uk are going to agreee with britain having made a different decision? they will not change minds in downing street. i think that is entirely possible. the question on atlee brett said that line is what this for that special relationship between uk and us? over the past week, there have been hints at the prime minister would make less made at davos summit,. the chief treasurer for the brits were talking about the digital services tax, another challenge between the us and european countries. the british there are very clear that they were going to pursue this descriptor detects. the response of that was for the secretary to say, perhaps we will pursue retaliatory tariffs. already, the stage was felt that the us and britain may have a more difficult role ahead of them, particularly as britain emerges from the eu and starts to discuss what their economic relationship is like with the rest of the world, independent of the eu. it seems they will not be leaning on this us relationship as hard as some observers in

nasa and the uk met office say last year was the second warmest since 1850. they blame rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and warn of more extreme weather events to come. now on bbc news, wednesday in parliament. hello again and welcome to wednesday in parliament. as the prime minister admits, some people wait far too long for nhs treatment. he's right to signal the delays that people are facing, and they are indeed unacceptable, and that is why we are investing in 50,000 more nurses. that's why we're investing in 60,000 more gps. —— 6,000 more gps. but labour say his promise to enshrine higher health spending in law doesn't go far enough. the nhs is our most precious national institution. fund it properly, that everyone can rely on it. those that cannot afford private health care. also on this programme, a musical question time. speaks welsh sings in welsh all that to come and more. but first, the government has published its bill to put higher spending on the nhs into law. it means the health service in england should receive almost £34 billi

we also talked a lot about a big giant election in the uk. and a bit of porn.are talking 2019 and looking back over the year. and that was a big moment for us, the danish mp advertising on a porn aggregating website. right, ok, let's rewind swiftly. so, the start of the year was a different cast of characters and in a completely different context talking about different stuff. i suppose the big moment at the start of the year was the mv—one. the meaningful vote one. yes, and it was when theresa may had a deal with the european union and she tried and tried to get it through parliament, but it was a total unmitigated disaster. notjust because the opposition parties did not like her deal and probably were not going to vote for it anyway, but she had a large tribe of eurosceptic conservatives who did not like her and who did not like the deal. and that did for her in the end. and she had all of the remain mps as well. so no—one was going to be happy. i remember you saying that over and over again. how do you make everybody happy when everybody wants so many differ

uk with little room for manoeuvre.allenging to rip out huawei from existing networks and cut ties with the company given how deeply embedded it already is in our existing infrastructure, and the fa ct existing infrastructure, and the fact that 5g roll—outs have already occurred using huawei among other companies. there are certainly risks involved in the decision on huawei. but the uk's intelligence agencies seem confident they can prevent china from using its involvement in the network to collect sensitive information. richard galpin, bbc news. well, our security correspondent gordon correra has been explaining the importance of this decision. it is one of the most consequential national security decisions, one of the most long—term decisions that any government has had to take in recent times because this determines the security of our data, our telecoms networks, which will become increasingly important to our lives for the decades to come. more and more personal data will be carried around these networks, more of t

we need to look at the numbers, 9% of the eve trade is with the uk. 43% of the uk go to the eu.e a very strong interest in this economic relationship. an even stronger interest from the uk side given those numbers. i think the eu, now we are looking for both sides to come forward and provide clarity to the business community, by publishing the mandate so we can really see where the objectives and the aims of both parties lie in these 11 months ahead, as we have no time to waste. 0k, thank you dominic, in brussels for us. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. a major investor in leading e—cigarette—makerjuul has seen its stake in the company drop by more than two—thirds. tobacco giant altria group has blamed the $8.5billion fall in value on rising legal and regulatory threats. the firm had paid $12.8bn for a 35% stake injuul in 2018, and it revealed a huge write—down to investors on thursday. kenya's national carrier has suspended all flights to and from china because of the coronavirus outbreak. the virus has caused more than 130 deaths, more than 213 d

for the uk, but for the other 27 notjust for the uk, but for the other27 eu member notjust for the uked some very significant questions for the eu to grapple with like why did that happen? while i've got you, i'm feeling rather nostalgic, and this is no comment on brexit or whether we remain or leave. but i spent so many nights where you're standing and in the harry canary where you're standing and in the harry ca nary and where you're standing and in the harry canary and katie o'shea's pub. i have no idea what you're talking about. talking about rags in the issues. i suppose we will still be there. the number of times in england losing those pups is what i think back on. what do we have, 2.5 hours to go until britain leaves the eu? we have a countdown in our studio and we will keep you up—to—date on that. let's just get a quick round up of some of the day's other main stories with lewis vaughanjones. thanks. the world health organization has warned countries against closing borders with china to control the spread of the coronavirus. it said a better way to contain the virus was effe

the us banned huawei from any involvement in their uk networks and the uk was a lwa ys uk networks andk was always going to have a decision. part of the decision and part of the reason this is such a big story is the fact the uk would have to renegotiate a trade deal and there's a feeling of the uk not wanting to upset the us with any trade deal being part of it. they have allowed a 35% market share of this 5g network. what isn't reported is huawei have a 34% in networks in the uk. they are providing sg in the uk. they are providing 5g in various parts of the country, cities like birmingham. absolutely. this isn't a complete and utter disregard of what the us is saying and that the uk is going toa saying and that the uk is going to a completely different direction to previous, this is a slight increase in the share previously but there is an importance to get this 5g network up and running and running quickly without this delaying it. we wonder what this means for future negotiations between the uk and the us when it comes to trade, i've just the us when it comes to trade, i'vejust com

forthe uk and meeting, talking about a new chapter for the uk and talking about putting behind us thers. he will talk about unity an awful lot and i think that is why although there are a celebration here tonight they want to be careful not to be seen to be gloating because they will understand that there were people who will feel sorry about what is to come. the cabinet also talked about negotiating a canada style free trade agreement with the eu and pointing out that from tomorrow the uk can negotiate other trade agreements with other countries. the first time they will do that because of leaving with the eu. their aim first time they will do that because of leaving with the eu. theiraim is to make sure 80% of uk trade is cove red to make sure 80% of uk trade is covered by free trade agreements in three years time. also worth saying, they thanked the brexit secretary for his work because he would be out ofa for his work because he would be out of a job at for his work because he would be out ofajob at 11pm. for his work because he would be out of a job at 11pm. and there has been a

he wants the uk to emulate the success of silicon valley, delivering trillions for the uk economy.ding of research and development. but can the country catch up with us and china — which have the advantages of scale and years of high level investment? what does the government need to do to attract the best talent to the uk. how do they support the new industries. and how quickly will it deliver? particularly if some of the olders industries are sacrificied in order for the uk to diverge from european regulation. joining us now is eileen burbridge — chair of tech nationand partner at venture capital. you have been with mike pompeo and dominic rob today. you're listening to these lands in the trade deal. we had an opportunity to very much like wasjust read out we got to emphasise how flourishing the uk tech economy was in there how important it could be within the trade discussions. and therefore helpful with a free—trade agreement. they want to reinvent with the americans dead, it had a research hub that an out of the cold war. and from that, from the massive investment we got silic

the uk is epically likely to get a trade deal with the eu by the end of the year according to the uk prime minister. live from london, that's our top story on tuesday the 14th of january despite scepticism from the eu, uk prime minister says it would take a complete failure of common sense for there not to be a trade deal between the two sides by the end of the year. also in the programme — scoring a bigger bank balance, we look at the latest football rich list and why so many clubs still lose money. and the uk government considers cutting air passenger duty on all domestic flights in a bid to save flybe. and we'll be getting the inside track on keeping it flexible — we look at growing calls to make work hours fit in with home life. and top chef heston blumenthal says he's fed up of people taking photos at his restaurant — today we'd like to know what social media habits get on your nerves? let us know — just use the hashtag bbcworklife. hello and welcome to worklife. thank you for your comments so far. one person saying those people who ta ke one person saying those people who take

we're losing some fantastic uk colleagues, but we, of course, respect the uk voters.ghtly surreal about this day, this week of goodbyes here in brussels, and that's because the day after brexit day, we enter the transition period. so, yes, legally we've left the european union, but while we're sorting out a new trade deal, practically, things stay the same. paying into the eu budget, accepting laws made here inside the european parliament, but we will no longer have a seat here at the decision—making table. that is a lot of voices to lose. for some uk meps today, even emptying their post box at the european parliament was a symbolic event. it is a disaster, it's a huge disaster. europe is not going to go away. we are going to have to trade with them, we will come on holiday, we will move around, we want to drive around. the regulations will be made here, in this house, but there will be no british voice standing up for the uk when those regulations are made. but we're not quite there yet. the union flag has two more days to flutter outside eu buildings here before it'

5g is being rolled out now in the uk, it is in some of the cities, all four of the uk's mobile networksand it will get substantially faster and it will get substantially faster and more widespread over the next five years. when we see speculation the government could ban while away only from the core technology 5g, what the cork tech lg and how affect —— core technology? what the cork tech lg and how affect -- core technology? the core is the brain of the network or like a post 0ffice sorting office, where you see the sensitive information, you have some control over what happens, and the rest of it is technologists and mobile companies say it is done, you can't learn anything from the antennas you see on the buildings around the city for example, so they draw that extinction between —— distinction between core and non—core and that is key to that the borisjohnson decision tomorrow. non—core and that is key to that the boris johnson decision tomorrow. but is it definitely clear that if huawei is kept out of the core that it is still safe to give them access ? it is still safe to give th

so i think forthe uk, the final say on that. so i think for the uk, the the final say on that.he uk, the mixed messages the final say on that. so i think for the uk, the mixed messages about who are you going to sign with first. from the eu's perspective, the eu commissioner was in washington last week, discussing its own relationship with the us and he was saying publicly at some events that their biggest concern in brussels is they are going to face another cliff edge at the beginning of the year and this timescale is too limiting. we had only got until the end of the year to strike this trade deal and he was worried. boris johnson is in such a strong position now with his huge majority, but they are worried about that timetable. do think there is a danger that eve ryo ne think there is a danger that everyone else around the table is going to be a bit too negative? borisjohnson is that going to be a bit too negative? boris johnson is that we going to be a bit too negative? borisjohnson is that we can now move forward as one country, delivering this great opportunity and unlea

outside the uk. at a reasonable price and at the skill required. question from jan in telford, talktalk use huawei routers for their broadband, is this a cure for their broadband, is this a cure for the home? the difference between a rich in the home and a cure for the home? the difference between richer in the home and the network which might affect everyone is the issue there. home routers have had plenty of problems. we have seen plenty of attacks on them over the years. the risk comes down to how many people have them. if you are a talktalk customer and have had huawei richer, only talktalk customers can be affected. if somebody could switch off the 5g network, switch it off, do something nefarious, it could affect the whole of the uk. why are we spending money on 5g, we are asked, when there are still parts of the country that don't even have two g? we the country that don't even have two g ? we have the country that don't even have two g? we have no network where i live. this is an ongoing issu

and then the uk left europe. so where is the uk?ll, boris johnson. but uk, you know, betting that the middle east will strengthen the economy of this country but if you have a war in the middle east, which is expected, if you have a war in libya, where can the british government go to get contracts or a replacement for european union, for example? and if we have war, the prices of oil will go to more or $200 and so what will happen to the economy of this country? the economy of europe? the economy of the united states? and, stefanie, if the special relationship between the uk and eu, wasn't what it was in both countries have lost their way, is there any sign of any real leadership in europe? as we said, angela merkel is on her way out. preisdent macron would like to lead but seems to be quite tied up with domestic problems of his own. it is good to be very interesting to see. as you say, angela merkel is a leader who is leading the world stage — er, leaving — and the french president is weaker, but i wouldn't underestimate his power

lots of people to get removed from the uk. michael from of people to get removed from the uk.rom the uk. michael from edinburgh wants to know at the current rate of immigration what year will white britons become a minority in great britain? this is a tricky one. the straightforward answer is quite possibly never. it's very difficult actually to project. the government doesn't do official projections of the ethnic minority population going forward. there have been some academics attempts to do it looking forward as far as 2050 which suggests non—white people would remain ina suggests non—white people would remain in a substantial minority. it's really complicated because on the one hand and that of the migrant to come to the uk are white. ethnically they don't get classified as white british. they get are classified as white other. but then in many cases they are children who we re in many cases they are children who were born here will see themselves as white british and they will no longer be part of the ethnic minority population. 0n the non—eu side there are a lot of peopl

if the uk will now not enjoy.o allow eu citizens to move to the uk's easily or limit the amount of time they can live there, the same thing will happen to brits, or something very similar. so matt, for one, won't be celebrating this day, believing brexit will prove a loss, not a liberation. damian grammaticas, bbc news, madrid. the uk is now a very different country from the one thatjoined the eu in 1973. our special correspondent, allan little, reports on how almost half a century in europe's embrace has changed the nation, which is now seeking a new role in the world. when i have to choose between europe and the wide open seas, said winston churchill, i will always choose the wide open seas. britain is looking to the wide open seas again to redefine its place in the world. archive: from the men of the clyde came our greatest ships. there is a folk memory of the commercial and industrial greatness that those seas once bestowed, of the river clyde as a superhighway of global trade. raw materials shipped from the e

a labour mp was concerned about how the world viewed the uk.ast four years when travelling to other countries — whether for work or holiday, or meeting overseas visitors here — is asked incredulously, "what is going on in your country? why does the uk seem so determined to undermine its international reputation, its economic position?" and the overall impression from these people is that brexit has undermined our standing and our reputation across the world. and it is certainly an impression that i and many of my colleagues feel. ruth cadbury. well, brexit and the uk's future also came up at questions to the leader of the commons, jacob rees—mogg. an snp mp made clear his party's ambition to rejoin the european union. tomorrow across scotland, communities will gather to say "au revoir", but not "adieu", to our fellow members of the european union. i just want to caution the government about any kind of tribalism about all this. tomorrow is not the end of brexit, it is only the beginning. and as encouraged by my honourable memberfor sterling whe

it sells more to the uk in the uk so to the eu.eration is what they want to prioritise first. and of course fish. that will be difficult for borisjohnson. fish. that will be difficult for boris johnson. notjust collocated because of all the different national and supranational if you can use that word, epic economically and sexually, no offence to anybody, it's economically tiny. politically it's economically tiny. politically it's enormous. semi—different issues and kind of a patchwork of all sorts of different things that might explode on their own. the signs in the uk side that they do not want to do, and is agreed till everything is agreed, they want to do this piece by piece and may be that the only way that they can really get it done. because could you ever get all agreed? barnier who is staying on a chief negotiator said and went into bit more detail but what i got the impression from him that the deal the other stuff will be conditional on two other deals being done first, one the fisheries deal, which they wa nt to one th

but some are critical of the uk government's response.e it's not easy to do, i know the chinese government is very hard to work with on this, because they are locking down everything. but i think if the us can manage to do it then i think the british government should at least be able to do the same thing for the people out here. in beijing, the head of the world health organization met the chinese president, who has described the virus as a devil, but one, he said, he was confident china could defeat. he promised increased international cooperation to fight it. coronavirus has now silenced a city, killed more than 100 people and, with modern travel, caused alarm right around the world. thousands of miles away from wuhan, governments are scrambling to try to contain it. caroline hawley, bbc news. the public inquiry into the grenfell tower disaster has been shown emails suggesting that companies directly involved in the building's refurbishment, knew the cladding they had specified would fail in the event of a fire. the evidence was highli

the us is lobbying the uk to exclude it on the grounds of national security.uawei insists it would never take orders from the chinese government. it has been reported that the troubled us plane maker boeing has agreed to a loan of up to $12 billion from up to a dozen banks as it continues to deal with the fallout of the fatal 737 max disasters. the revelation comes weeks after the aerospace company reported its worst orders in at least two decades. let's have a quick recap of the top story and how the coronavirus is impacting asia—pacific markets in early morning tuesday trade. you can see that the nikki index is down 0.8. the biggest loser so far is the south korean index, down by more than 2%. thank you for investing your time with us, i am rico hizon, goodbye for now. this is bbc news. the top stories this hour. beijing reports the capital's first death from coronavirus — as global concerns grow over its spread. republican senators say president trump's impeachment trial may need to hear from witnesses. it follows bombshell lea ks from the former national s

she loves the uk.loved living in london and how much it taught her. she is an atlanticist as well. but anyone who thinks this kind of anglophilia will make her softer when it comes to trade talks is mistaken, i feel. so amidst the avalanche of lovebombing for the uk in her speech yesterday, there were clear warnings as well. without the free movement of people, you cannot have the free movement of capital, goods and services. without a level playing field on environment, labour, taxation and state aid, you cannot have the highest quality access to the world's largest single market. the more divergent it is, the more distant the partnership will be. i guess that's the essence of it, isn't it? talk of trade—offs might not be as sexy as the jeopardy of the last 12 months, but trade—offs, the compromises around the negotiations to come, is where this story is going. yeah, sure. the big question politically is whether borisjohnson will be able to stick to his timetable. remember, he said he wants it all don

fenders from outside the uk.de the uk. one of the problems here is that it the uk. one of the problems here is thatitis the uk. one of the problems here is that it is a slightly niche area. the us doesn't have its own supplier. there aren't many places to go to find kit at a reasonable price and at the scale that is required. another question, talk talk use huawei routers for their broadband. is this safe for the home? the difference between a ritual in the home and a network which might affect everyone is the issue there. home routers historically have lots of problems, we have seen attacks on them. the risk comes down to how many people have them. the worry with 5g is that everyone will be using it and if somebody is able to switch it off or do something nefarious, it affects the whole of the uk, notjust potentially the customers. why are we spending money on 5g when there are still parts of the country that don't even have two g. we have no network where i live. this is an ongoing issue. there has been a real

there's frustration with the uk government.nk it's been an absolute shambles, to be honest with you. i don't think the government have really known what they've been doing. i don't think they've had as much contact with the chinese authorities as they say, because, if they had, i would assume that they'd be getting the same information that the americans have got, the japanese have got, and they'd have been able to put plans in place sooner. despite the lockdown, infections in wuhan are still rising rapidly, and anyone flown home from here faces two weeks in uk quarantine. maeve clarke, a lecturer from birmingham, stuck in wuhan, says she understands why. i think it's a good precautionary measure and it's in line with what other governments are doing as well, and i think it gives reassurance to people back home, in the uk, that the right steps are being taken. much is still not known about the virus but, across china, few are taking any chances. villagers are putting up roadblocks and shutting out the world with great barriers

. it was news to me that there were two uk positive caseslj it was news to me that there were two ukrt on coronavirus, but how would you say, how worrying and alarming is this virus compared to other epidemics we have seen, like the sars epidemic or ebola? how concerned should we be? as much as any other infectious degrees. we don't want it spreading. there is a degree of hype going on in the media at the moment about this. there are plenty of diseases that carry a higher mortality rate. in a country of1 billion people in china, 9900 cases, and handfuls in other countries. i think that, yes, the reason people are worried is that there is a degree of concern that this has been going on for longer than has been admitted, but i think we should have it in perspective. this is a common response to an infectious disease. we all know that you isolate. we do it with children with chickenpox. you don't go out and deliberately infect others. so, these are sensible precautions from these are sensible precautions from the government, in your view? yes, they are. you know, how else would people f

we are losing some fantastic uk colleagues but we have coarse respect the uk voters.ng slightly surreal about this day, this week of goodbyes here in brussels and that's because the days after brexit day we enter the transition. so yes, legally we've left the european union but while we are sorting out a new trade deal, practically things stay the same. paying into the eu budget, excepting laws made here in the european parliament but we will no longer have a ct at the decision—making table. that is a lot of voices to lose. for some uk meps today, even emptying their postbox at the european parliament was a symbolic event. it is a disaster, it's a huge disaster. europe is not going to go away. we are going to have to trade with them, we will come on holiday, we will move around, we will drive around. the regulations will be made here in this house but there will be no british voice standing up for the uk when those regulations are made. but we are not quite there yet. the union flag has two more days to flutter outside eu buildings here before it's lowered on brexit n
