hello, it's thursday, it's 10 o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire, and we're live from new broadcasting house. last year we exposed the shocking conditions some families were living in, on a council—owned block on a regeneration site in north london. they were living with cockroaches, security doors that didn't work so drug users and anyone else could come in at any time. we still have to live with the cockroaches, the mice, the rats, being broken into. this time the conservative council leader daniel thomas has agreed to be on the programme and the city of wuhan has been shut down to contain the virus that has infected more than 500 people and kill 17. the worry is that this could spread from wuhan to other cities and we could see similar situations, other cities and we could see similarsituations, entire other cities and we could see similar situations, entire floors in hospitals are being cleared to make way for patients and we are being told this. a bbc investigation has learned that at least seven preventable baby deaths may have occurred within one nhs trust since 2016 leading to
