They are asking you to do something that no senate has ever done. And they are asking you to do it with no evidence. That is wrong. And i ask you to keep that in mind. The search for survivors continues after a powerful earthquake hit turkey at least 29 people have been killed and more than 1200 injured and well be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers Martin Lipton and Lucy Beresford in half an hour. Stay with us for that. Good evening. Chinas president has warned that his country faces a grave situation, as the deadly corona virus spreads with increasing speed. Tens of millions of people in china are now facing strict controls on their movement. The virus is known to have killed more than a0 people, with more than 1,300 hundred people infected since the outbreak began in the city of wuhan. Here, the department of health says 31 people tested for the virus have been given the all clear. Our china correspondent Stephen Mcdonnell has been to the province of hubei, much of which is under strict quarantine, and sent this report. The approaches to Hubei Province are like scenes from an apocalyptic movie. Only after a temperature scan can you pass these checkpoints. The unwell are not allowed to travel. Whats more, the lockdown is spreading. Roads out of the infection zone are being closed. So, basically thats the border that way. The police have told us that we can drive in but we cant drive out. So it seems that this whole province where the coronavirus first broke out is now going to be locked down. We cross the border and drive through ghost towns. Instead of Lunar New Year celebrations, people are in survival mode. On the first day of the year of the rat all these shops are closed, there is pretty much nobody on the street here. I mean, this isjust one of the towns you come across when you first enter the province and people just dont know for how long its going to be like this, for how long they have to stay indoors or risk being infected with this potentially deadly coronavirus, which causes pneumonia. Hospitals here have been flooded with patients. There are thousands who are unwell but are not sure if their symptoms mean its the coronavirus. One man inside this hospital speaks to us from his hospital bed. He said he hasnt been told if hes contracted the potentially deadly virus. But hes worried he could catch it anyway from others in his ward. I wish him a speedy recovery and the Police Arrive as if on cue. They wont confirm if a province wide lockdown of 60 Million People is about to start. But local officials want us to leave. So, as night falls, they escort us back across the border. Jonathan ball, professor of virology at the university of nottingham, said that while authorities were doing everything they could, the screening measures would have a limited impact if those infected werent initially showing any symptoms. You can detect for the presence but the virus needs to get levels high enough for the tests to detect them. The other key issue here is that people only start to develop symptoms, if they are, after a few days of incubation is. And we dont know what the period of incubation is for this novel coronavirus. But while it is being incubated, the person will not show any outward signs. And if they are travelling around china or other parts of the world than they can carry that infection with them. We talk about similarities with sars and so on, what can scientists predict about how the presence of this kind of virus may change and develop in the kind of challenges it might prove to provide in the future . In 2002 we saw the emergence of sars. More recently in 2012 we saw the emergence of mers in the arabian peninsula. But at the moment this virus does not seem to fit the pattern that they have shown. Importantly, pattern that they have shown. Importa ntly, the pattern that they have shown. Importantly, the pattern where most transmission is associated with severe disease. The real concern as well is that this virus seems to be showing quite a reasonable amount of human to human transmission. So patient a passes that the patient be who passes at the patient c. That is challenging, unfortunately. It allows the virus to spread from human to human b gives it the opportunity to mutate and potentially evolve and further adapt to transmission in humans. I do not wish to frighten people nor scare them but this is a possibility. And were looking at a chat country like china that seems to have mobilised quickly and they are busy building in ten days, they have resources and the ability to move reasonably fast. What is the potential for problems with viruses of this kind of they we re with viruses of this kind of they were in other parts of the world. You hit the nail on the head in terms of some of the Major Concerns about other parts of the world. For example we have seen the virus turn up example we have seen the virus turn up in developed countries where they have fantastic Health Infrastructure and good surveillance. So we can identify infections and deal with them. But if you imagine an infection like its going to a part of the world where the infrastructure is not so good then it becomes a whole lot more difficult to identify and control. We will find out how the coronavirus and other stories are covered in the front pages tomorrow, including how the Foreign Office he has revised its travel advice. That is at 1130 this evening in the papers. Our guests tonight are Martin Lipton, chief Sports Reporter for the sun, and the broadcaster Lucy Beresford. A newly appointed member of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Panel has resigned this evening, after she was linked to a charitable arm of the firm which supplied the tower blocks cladding. Benita mehra tendered her resignation to the Prime Minister borisjohnson, saying she recognised and respected the depth of feeling among some about her appointment. Grenfell survivors and bereaved family members had threatened to boycott the inquiry if she remained on the panel. Our Political Correspondent iain watson explained that many of the victims families want the second stage of the inquiry to be handled sensitively, because they see it as a key opportunity to uncover the truth. There is going to be a new phase of enquiry which gets under way next week and always this threat of boycotting that stage of enquiry. Effectively she was appointed by borisjohnson in effectively she was appointed by Boris Johnson in december effectively she was appointed by borisjohnson in december but the Guardian Newspaper then subsequently revealed that when she was president of the womens engineering society, that society accepted 75,000 pounds from the Terrible Charitable arm of the company that made the grenville cladding. Grenfell cladding. She said she did not want to suffer this may cause further suffering. Boris johnson will need to find other experts to appoint very quickly before the next phase gets under way. This is notjust a technical matter, it is highly political. He needs to be seen delivering on his pledge to the families. A major rescue operation is continuing for a second night in eastern turkey, where an earthquake has killed dozens of people, with many more missing. More than 1,000 people are known to have been injured in elazig province. Teams are working in freezing temperatures, to reach survivors tra under collapsed buildings. Our correspondent richard galpins report contains some distressing images. Shes just five years old and covered in blood. But this girl is now safe. The rescue team pulling her out from under the smashed blocks of concrete and other debris brought down by the earthquake. And she is just one of more than a0 people to have been rescued here so far. Speed is now essential to save lives in freezing temperatures. This emergency worker uses a mobile phone to speak to a family trapped underneath the debris, telling them they must stay awake. The powerful earthquake struck this Eastern Region of the country night, causing hundreds of casualties. As buildings collapsed. In the light this morning, the scale of destruction revealed. This is just one of 30 buildings to have been brought down. Hundreds of after shocks over the past 24 hours have also added to the fear in this earthquake prone region. Some of the homeless have now found shelter as the temperature at night drops to 10 degrees. Others, however, are out on the street. A man and his 10 year old daughter have died in a fire at a house in hull. Fire crews were called to the propertyjust before 8 00 this morning.

An investigation into his death is continuing. President trump s lawyers have begun setting out his defence at his impeachment trial in the us senate stop esther trump is accused of abusing his power and of obstructing congress. The president s attorney said his accusers have no evidence in the motive was to undermine mr johns election campaign. Our washington correspondent said the democrats were continuing to make their arguments with resolve even though they may not have the numbers in the senate to be successful at impeaching the president. His lawyers did try to counter some of the arguments made by the democrats Impeachment Team but mainly they tried to set out a Bigger Picture argument. That the democrats were not really concerned about abuse of power nor that mr trump had not saved properly in office. Instead, they claimed that they were actually more concerned with overturning the vote to put him in the office in the first place. They are asking you to tearup all of first place. They are asking you to tear up all of the ballot across this country on your own initiative. Take that decision away from the american people. What have i have learned through all my years in politics and all my years of life, if you are right and you keep fighting for the truth, you will prevail. We would be derelict in our responsibility if we did not fight for the truth. You might get a sense from that that the democrats know they have no chance of removing President Trump from office. They simply do not have the numbers in the senate. But a few miles away in the senate. But a few miles away in the white house, a confident mr trump was encouraging people to tune into the televised seedings. He was tweeting in not very flattering terms and certainly in a way that his lawyers would not have gotten away with, about his political opponents. His team will continue to make arguments on monday and you can expect those arguments to become a little more pointed and political and perhaps a little nasty. Boeing says its successfully completed the first test flight of the Worlds Largest twin engined jet, the 777. The plane flew for three hours, taking off and landing near seattle.

More than a hundred people from all over britain were in birmingham today for the First Citizens assembly on climate change. Amongst those taking part were the naturalist and broadcaster, sir David Attenborough. The aim of the meeting is to give mps recommendations on how to meet the governments emissions target on tackling pollution. Our environment analyst, roger harrabin, has been explaining what its hoped pratically can be achieved. This assembly has been called by mps who really need to know what the public thinks about climate change. They may read the newspapers, they may read opinion polls but they want to know what the public voice really is on climate change. In particular, how the uk can reach its 2050 target of eliminating virtually all Carbon Emissions from the economy. Obviously some people are going to find this expensive, some people are going to find some measures more unpalatable than others. In the mps really wa nt unpalatable than others. In the mps really want to know what the people here, they convened 110 people, convened in birmingham, what they really think about the best way towards tackling emissions. As you mentioned, said David Attenborough was here. Brought the house down as usual, what a star act he is. He was full of praise for the people who have given up four weekends to come to birmingham for this peoples assembly. So the fact that you are here is extremely important because it shows could put pressure on your members of parliament to take this seriously. So that is your very existence here means that members of parliament are taking it seriously. That is the first point. The second point is that i am perpetually asked by people what is it that i can do to help with the problems . I suspect that one way or another during your deliberations, all kinds of solutions to that particular question will occur to you and they will be spreading through the community. Sol will be spreading through the community. So i truly think, because i believe that the question we are facing is of utmost importance, i truly think that the effect you have given up time to come here and take this seriously is of the greatest importance. And the rest of this people that make the people in this country should be extremely grateful to you. Mps will be hoping that this will be something of a breakthrough in terms of their understanding of public opinion. I guess the people he will be considering things like should we maybe tax aviation more, should we maybe tax aviation more, should we maybe tax aviation more, should we tax suvs more . Perhaps should we tax suvs more . Perhaps should we tax suvs more . Perhaps should we put attacks on meat . They will look at all these and the trade offs involved in them and they will be reporting back to parliament at the end of april.

Important to remember where you are in the wider picture, while keeping your mind clear. Ollie pope has that rare clarity. This is only his sixth test. But already he seems to be on top of things. He and joe root mopped up the bowling. This was getting away from south africa fast. Then a fight back. First pope went, then root. Commentator this time hes got him sam curran lasted one ball. Three wickets for 11 runs with things starting to swing. Stuart broad certainly was. He battered the attack all around johannesburg. By the order, hes englands worst batsman. Partner mark wood, second worst. And yet watch them go, enjoy the show. England ended up on a00. Surely the series now beyond south africa. After all, the local battings not inspired too much confidence of late and england often bowl quicker than that. Around 90mph in mark woods case. Pieter malan was the first domino down. The others toppled behind him. These the shots of beaten men and tired minds. Six South Africans came and went. Three of them to wood. On a ground 6,000 feet above sea level, englands tour must surely finish on a high. Patrick gearey, bbc news. Englands mark would hit 35 not out and took two wickets. Here is what he had to say at the close of play. I felt today, as a unit, collectively, we bowled really well. Obviously it was hard to get that first wicket, but i felt we kept the pressure on them, even though maybe we didnt get them out, we didnt let them get away from us, we kept the pressure on that way. And then i just tried to bring a little bit of energy when i came on, something a bit different, and tried to create an atmosphere under different feel to the game.

The uks leading Mental Health charity for military veterans, combat stress, says it is unable to deal with new cases because of in funding. The charity, which helps treat servicemen and women suffering from complex Mental Health problems, has lost millions of pounds of support from nhs england. Theyre known as tough and resilient, but years on the front line can take its toll, with some military personnel like paul smith facing battles with their Mental Health. I was verbally abusive to my wife, my children. I alienated them. Id walk round and id be looking at escape routes, id be looking for people carrying weapons. At night, id go to our bedroom and hide behind the bed and cry my eyes out. Id have nightmares. Id have flashbacks. Paul says the leading charity for veterans Mental Health, combat stress, saved his life when he was referred to it but now, because of funding cuts, the charity says any new referrals from england and wales wont be taken on. It receives around 2,000 referrals for treatment every year, but its income has fallen from £16 million to £10 million in this current financial year. We have decided that we need to make sure we can meet the needs of everyone who is currently in our system, and we are not going to take referrals in england and wales where we have the greatest risks of safety, if you like, for the near future. All new referrals will now be redirected to the nhs.

Chi chi izundu, bbc news. A year ago today, a damn about a mining village collapsed in brazil, and vaulting the community and killing 270 people. It was one of the countrys worst ever industrial disasters. 16 people from the mining company, along with the minds owner and its auditor, have been charged with murder, but few people there believe justice will be done. Katie watson has returned to the town of brumadinho to see how the community is coming to terms with the tragedy one year on. The name of every one of the 270 victims was read out like a register. Theirfamilies victims was read out like a register. Their families answering for them. A town that once thrived on mining now devastated by it. When the dam broke last year, the toxic sludge that came crashing down the valley destroyed everything in its wake. Houses, hotels, farmland and forests. And this is whats left behind. 10 million cubic metres of mud that needs to be cleaned up. Firefighters are still looking for 11 people who are missing. Todays commemorations brought together communities from all over the region. Nobody here is untouched by this tragedy. This is as much a remembrance for those who died as it is a protest for those who are living. Brumadinho was broken by what happened last year and people want justice. My nephew wants to kill himself every day, says claudia, who lost her brother in law. The mud that hit this city also hit our hearts. I ask her what she thinks about the mining company. All vale is is destruction and death. Theyjust cared about profit. Nothing has changed this year apart from our pain. Its only got worse. Murder charges brought against the Companies Involved go right to the very top. Vales former boss is among the accused. Translation vale and its workers knew the risky situation of the dam and they had demanded action but nothing was done. Today was a day for remembrance. Tomorrow, they continue theirfight forjustice. Katy watson, bbc news in brumadinho. Lets get a look at the weather. He is nick miller. Hello. In case youve forgotten what the sun looks like, it will reappear for many of us tomorrow. More on monday. Then a spell of rain and it will turn colder too. At least a lot of the cloud we have had recently will be out of the way. Cloud is still with us tonight, but High Pressure is moving away as we get a big change in our weather dominated by low pressure for the second half of the weekend, and through much if not of next week. Now, this weather front which is bringing about change will push its rain towards Northern Ireland and western scotland overnight, ahead of that, plenty of clout, if few breaks in the cloud here and there, but also some outbreaks of mostly light rain or drizzle and no frost going into the morning. This weather front will take its rent further east across the uk during sunday. It is a cold front, the leading edge of colder air. You can see that moving in behind the rain tomorrow. In that cold out there will be some sunshine coming back but also some showers, some of those turning wintry to, as we will see in a moment. Look how quickly tomorrow the rain is out of the way Northern Ireland. It pushes across scotland, through wales and into england, not reaching the very far south east until later in the day. Behind the rain it will be  day. figfiiffij tfigfeifiiffiiitfie i up,
