many of us. but the wind is going to be the main feature. damaging winds likely to bring transport disruption with large waves and flooding and we are likely to see power cuts as well. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: storm ciara hits the uk with gale—force winds and torrential rain — it's set to cause huge disruption across the country. travel is already being badly hit — airlines have cancelled dozens of flights, and more than 20 rail companies say their services will be affected. there's been gusts of 75 mph yesterday. we are expecting possibly more than that today — some predicting around 90 mph. the coronavirus crisis — a flight bringing 200 evacuees from wuhan back to britain lands at raf brize norton. a soldier who killed 26 people in a mass shooting in northern thailand has been shot dead by the security forces. counting begins in the irish general election as an exit poll puts the three main political parties level pegging. before the papers — sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly. good morning. saqib mahmood has marked his england debut with a wicket, as they bid to level the one—day series against south africa. they won the toss and put the home side into bat injohannesburg — and there's been a strong bowling display so far — mahmood removing reeza hendricks. and adil rasheed has just taken the wicket of temba bavuma — south africa are 89—2 in the 21st over. england's women are out of the t20 tri—nation series in australia, after losing to the home side. australia will play india in the final — it's not the best preparation for the t20 world cup. england only have three more games before their first cup match on march the 23rd. they reached the final last time out, when they were beaten by australia. after all four home sides were in six nations action, only one can now win the grand slam — and that's ireland, after they beat defending champions wales by 24—12 in dublin. jordan larmour scored the first of four tries as they earned a bonus point and ended wales's unbeaten six nations run at eight games. ireland were a far more threatening force than they were against scotland last weekend, sending out a real statement of intent ahead of the meeting with england at twickenham in two weeks' time. a perfect performance is hard to come by. we will be our own worst critics, i'm sure, we've got an honest bunch in there. but a pleasing place to be isn't it, you know, two from two and that's what the six nations is all about, momentum, and we roll on from here. england won back the calcutta cup, beating scotland 13—6 at a wet and windy murrayfield. the conditions really were awful, and it was a low scoring affair — the only try of the game coming from ellis genge late n the second half. and head coach eddiejones was deeply unimpressed by the booing of captain 0wen farrell, as he lined up his kicks. that's an old —fashioned calcutta cup game isn't it? swirling wind, heavy rains, aggressive crowd without much manners. yeah, you've got to be at your best to win. without much manners, where you getting a bit of stick out there, did you sense it? i thought you were supposed to show kickers respect. you mean the booing that was coming when the kickers were taking? i thought you were supposed to show kickers respect? and all four home sides play in the women's six nations today — it's scotland v england at 10:12 and ireland—wales at one o'clock — you can follow the action on the bbc sport website. what a turnaround it's been at everton. two months ago they were in the relegation zone, and now they're just a point off fifth place in the premier league. they beat crystal palace 3—1 to extend their unbeaten run to five games. brazillian richarlison ran nearly the length of the pitch to put them 2—1. and then england hopeful dominic calvert—lewin got his 11th league goal of the season to seal victory. watford missed the chance to move out of the relegation zone — after conceding a late equaliser at brighton. watford took the lead midway through the first half, thanks to this strike from abdoulaye doucoure. but brighton made it 1—1 with 12 minutes to go — adrian mariappa with a moment to forget. watford remain in the bottom three. brighton stay in 15th. leeds are having a torrid time of it, as they try to get back into the premier league. they lost 2—0 at nottingham forest — tyler walker sealing it in stoppage time. leeds are still second but they've won only one of their last six league games and forest are challenging them for promotion — they're now only a point behind them. bsc glasgow from the lowland league are hoping to continue their scottish cup adventure this afternoon — they play hibs in the fifth round, in what is the biggest match in their history. later on, celtic face league one clyde, with the quarter—final draw straight afterwards. rangers will be in the hat — but manager steven gerrard said he had to "rattle a few cages" at half—time, before they beat hamilton 4—1, with three goals coming after the break — scott arfield with this one in injury time. details of all yesterday's games are on the bbc sport website. great britain's ice hockey team are still on track to reach the winter olympics for the first time since 19118. they thrashed estonia 7—1 to go top of their group in pre—qualifying for beijing 2022 — so victory against hungary this evening would earn them a place in the final qualifiers in august. there was more success for great britain in hockey‘s pro league with the men claiming theirfirst win of the campaign — beating new zealand 3—0. the women meanwhile drew 2—2 in their second tie in auckland, before winning the shootout 5—4 to claim the bonus point and move to fifth in the standings. great britain are hoping to persuade johanna konta to return to the team, after they lost to slovakia and failed to reach the finals. heather watson got them back to 2—1 down, but harriet dart couldn't follow suit. she lost in straight sets to anna schmiedlova. britain now face a play—off om april to avoid relegation from the world group. konta opeted not to play, to reduce her workload and protect her body. terri harper is waking up this morning as a boxing world champion. the 23 year old from doncaster won the super—featherweight world title last night. what's remarkable is this was only harper's tenth fight as a professional. and she was always in control against eva wahlstrom, scoring a knock—down in the seventh round. that makes her only britain's second female world champion in the sport, after nicola adams. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, it's time for with the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are james rampton features writer at the independent and lucy fisher, defence editor of the times. hope you are primed ‘ i hope you are primed with caffeine. iam not, i hope you are primed with caffeine. i am not, a i hope you are primed with caffeine. iam not, a hint to i hope you are primed with caffeine. i am not, a hint to anyone who is listening. lets take a look at the front pages. the mail on sunday has an exclusive, claiming that the american woman accused of killing harry dunn was a senior cia agent. claims that the department of health has been selling patient data to international drug companies is the observer's lead. warnings of a major outbreak of coronavirus in the uk is the top story in the sunday times. the sunday mirror has an exclusive on the death of the soldier, bernard mongan, whose body the paper says went undiscovered for three weeks at catterick barracks. the biggest revolution in transport and communications since the victorian era is on the horizon, according to the sunday express. the government is planning to impose a mansion tax according to the sunday telegraph. and that's a picture of the bbc‘s sophie raworth, who has qualified to represent england in a home—international half marathon. she is very, very fit. the coronavirus on the front pages. and a major virus outbreak morning. we have had 200 people arrived back from wuhan this morning? five britons in a french ski resort who have tested positive this week, including a nine—year—old boy. it is pretty horrifying, seeing how the numbers are escalating. 3500 new cases confirmed globally yesterday. 35,000 people across 28 countries infected with this epidemic and interesting yes, to see the microbiologist who co—discovered both ebola and aids in africa. they said the death toll has exceeded that of sars 20 years ago if the current figures are due to be believed? yes, the who has warned about people on social media blowing this out of proportion. but this professor is someone we should listen to. he says it has the potential to pose more danger than ebola just because of the number of people getting it so quickly. the rate of spread is dangerous. he said if the numberof rate of spread is dangerous. he said if the number of people getting infected is huge, it will kill a huge number of people. plus the pressure it will put on the nhs, winter is traditionally the busiest and hardest time and if more people are coming through the door, including the worried well who are feeling sweaty, i have got a cough, have i got coronavirus? quite rightly, people are anxious, but it will put the nhs under immense strain at its hardest time. and if you have got those symptoms, don't turn up because you could be spreading it. also, the other story is wu han‘s spreading it. also, the other story is wuhan‘s heroic doctors who are treating people in nappies? they have been speaking to a doctor, heroic is a word often overused in journalism, but this really does apply. these doctors working 12 hour shifts and 1000 of them have been affected in wuhan alone. some of them are not able to wear protective suits because there's not enough, the authorities have run out. they are working naked, which will get them infected. some of them, because they are so dedicated are not eating and drinking because you cannot take the suit off to go to the toilet and some are wearing nappies because they want to carry on working. they are sleeping at the hospital and heroic is the right word for these men and women, they are doing an extraordinary job. let's men and women, they are doing an extraordinaryjob. let's move on to the telegraph. lucy, mansion tax and a raid on pensions. this will surprise a lot of people, who are not expecting this from a party that many people voted for for the first time? i think, if many people voted for for the first time? ithink, if this is many people voted for for the first time? i think, if this is to believed and it will happen in the budget in march the 11th, it will infuriate the tory grassroots and the core vote. but the party has made a lot of vows to level of the country. it has attracted a lot of new voters in the midlands and the north and it made a lot of promises to those voters that will need to be paid for. it is interesting how they are potentially positioning themselves with an mansion tax. they attacked ed miliband and jeremy corbyn over this and also a proposal to cut pensions, tax relief for those earning over £50,000 a year from 40% to 20%. it is a move that could raise a lot of money, £10 billion would be raised from that move. if you are opposed to borrowing more, more of that sort of spending, you have to fund these infrastructure projects somehow?m you are a tory voter, which i am not... i think we knew that. if you thought the party voted for for the first time has stolen one of labour's most divisive policies and it has caused outrage through the south—east. they are writing off london, the tory party now, it is majority labour held anyway. and the tories are thinking if we can show up tories are thinking if we can show up the so—called red wall in the north by spending massively on infrastructure and helping with transport and communication there, then we have a lock on the majority for the next 20, 30 years. that is extremely worrying, but it does make sense in terms of the future of the tory party securing these new seat they have one. the way that property and the most expensive property is taxed at the moment isn't getting the most revenue out of it. there was a fantastic story, i was fascinated by it last year, in which aus fascinated by it last year, in which a us hedge funder had a £2 million property in new york for which he was paying £300,000 council tax, the equivalent of a year. he also had £2 million worth of mega— mansions in london and was paying £3000 in council tax. there is a disparity in global cities and in london, people could be paying more. the sunday telegraph, eu's fishing demands could crash exit talks. a small proportion of our economy these days is the fishing industry, but hugely important to those communities who rely upon it? absolutely and we should not underestimate that. it is something between one and 3% of our gdp. but we have a great romantic attachment to the sea, an island nation and there is a great sentimental attachment we have to the sea and that is why fishing has perhaps a disproportionate importance in our national story, if you like. to me, this is another aspect the tories did not foresee could be a problem when they made the brexit deal. northern ireland is a huge issue and for me, it is still grossly unresolved. but they are saying, nation such as france, belgium, ireland and the nailer will demand to michel barnier, the chief negotiator to the eu, will keep their current rights to fish in current waters around this country and that will cause huge strife. if britain kicks back against that, the talks could collapse. it could be a huge, symbolic issue. it is not what fishing communities were led to believe what brexit would mean for them? quite right, the fishermen thought they would regain sovereignty with brexit. but when you get into the weeds of this issue, it is complicated. fishing quotas are based on the 19705 formula, are present about 60% of fish caught in british waters by tonnage i5 fish caught in british waters by tonnage is caught by foreign boat5. but a really important caveat is that many british skipper5 sell off their quota to eu boat5. it is not a5 their quota to eu boat5. it is not as straightforward as it seems at first. remember the 70s? cod wars are coming back. i have hollywood in my head, but we're not talking about this kind of backle55 gown. spare nhs patients humiliation of backle55 accounts, doctors urge. it is bizarre you find yourself waddling around naked and the account and nothing to cover your behind? yes, it is one of those interesting things, i have never thought about why it has to be that way. but this intervention in a medicaljournal from health professionals, people are in hospital, feeling anxious and vulnerable and exposed due to the procedures they are undergoing anyway, they hardly need to have that concern and anxiety compounded by something that is misnamed a dignity gown. i think the design could be tweaked, so your behind is not necessarily on show. we have a lwa y5 not necessarily on show. we have always use them, so it is almost as if we will carry on using them. yes, dignity gown is humiliating. the catwalk, that is the only place i can see these now. fashion is always ahead of the game and loves to expose acres of flesh. i think we will see some hollywood stars at the oscars in nhs accounts. you heard it here first. what colour? the dreary light blue they have. i am a fashion guru, listen to what i say. we know, it gets commented upon all the time. the observer, revealed how drugs giant5 can the observer, revealed how drugs giants can access your the observer, revealed how drugs giant5 can access your health records, james? who has been giving them our data? this is alarming, the departments of health and social ca re departments of health and social care has, apparently, according to the observer been selling millions of data to american drugs companies to help them chart our plans of future drugs and medical plans they might be making. having told everyone this was going to be anonymized, there is now a suggestion that the companies, the drugs companies can tell who it is by referring back to the gp surgery. so that is a loophole that will be very worrying for people who quite rightly value their privacy and feel huge american corporations are just able to snoop on their history and could cause them all sorts of headaches and grief if these things we re headaches and grief if these things were revealed to their employers or close family members, who might not know these things. i think it is extremely worrying. we have to 5tre55 extremely worrying. we have to stress that is huge utility in these data sets being made available to drug companies to pursue new cures for certain diseases and so forth and big data is the future of that kind of research. but incredibly worrying the 5afeguard5 have not been put into anonymized this data. increasingly, concerns about how truly anonymous health data can be made, given the individual markers and ability to match up po5tcode5, gp surgery records and identify people. i have become cynical about data companies, since the facebook scandal and the cambridge analytic scandal, so much golf comes out from the companies, we will treat your data with respect and never sell it on to other parties. it is nonsense. we have seen on many occasions that this does happen. it is very for people that something they have written on the internet will come back to haunt them because of an untrustworthy company. philip schofield, his only interview. i feel like i know a lot about the 5tory. feel like i know a lot about the story. i must have been gay when i married, i was so happy i never considered it. philip schofield has been married to his wife for nearly 27 yea r5, been married to his wife for nearly 27 years, and she has been hugely supportive of him revealing publicly now, he is a gay man. but from a different era where it wasn't so easy to state what you were? yes, i think steph, his wife has come out exceptionally well in what must have been a difficult time for both of them over recent years, as he has come to terms with it. it is interesting this interview, it is a question you have, when did he know and for how long has he had doubts? he talks quite candidly about having thoughts in the back of his mind, but naively thinking he could 5uppre55 but naively thinking he could suppress them, perha p5 but naively thinking he could suppress them, perhaps they would go away, because he did feel happy with steph when he was engaged to her. it i5 steph when he was engaged to her. it is interesting how the psychology worked, there was a time he didn't feel able to come out and thought tho5e feel able to come out and thought those feelings would di55ipate and disappear. there are two points. i agree with peter tatchell who said the other day, why are we making such a big song and dance about this, it shows there is a massive problem for gay people about coming out. overriding that, i have a sense of great admiration for phillip schofield and his family. it is a massive shock for them. they didn't vote to be in the public eye. they are not celebrities, but they have been dragged into this story, they are plastered all over the tabloids and they have behaved with great dignity. much more dignity than the people who wear the backless gowns and they have an absolutely rock solid family. it shows in this day and age all families take different shapes and forms. yes, philip schofield is someone we love, he is in our living rooms every day and he has done this, so i am going to do it too. picture of sophie ray wirth, who at the age of 51, has become one of the fastest veteran distance runners and has won a place in a half marathon. she looks extremely happy there. she just became runner—up in last month's farnborough half marathon. runner—up in last month's farnborough half marathonlj runner—up in last month's farnborough half marathon. i do remember her starting running, it wasn't that many years ago, she has not always been a runner. he won a piers morgan's great books, which surprisingly have never won the nobel prize for literature and he talks about the boozy lunches he used to have it sophie and now he say she is boring, because all she does is run. good for her! in 20 years time, when i am 50 two i will ta ke years time, when i am 50 two i will take up running. louise minchin does triathlons. and frank gardner is a terrific skier as well. yes he is, incredible. that's it for the papers this don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website.
