Good morning. 32 british and european passengers whove been quarantined on a cruise ship injapan for more than two weeks after an outbreak of coronavirus are on their way home to the uk. It comes as the World Health Organisation warns that the opportunity to contain the virus is narrowing. The number of confirmed cases in south korea has doubled overnight to more than 300. Charlotte gallagher reports. The long wait finally over. After more than two weeks trapped on the diamond princess cruise liner, 32 british and european passengers were taken off the ship to begin theirjourney home. The group has tested negative for coronavirus, but more than 630 of their fellow passengers and crew have fallen ill. After landing at an mod base in wiltshire, they will be taken to Arrowe Park Hospital on the wirral, where they will be quarantined for a further two weeks. The four british people who have coronavirus are being treated in japanese hospitals. The World Health Organisation says the window of opportunity to contain the outbreak is narrowing. Two more people have died in iran, while a 78 year old man has become the first person to die from the virus in europe. We still have a chance to contain it. But while doing that, we have to prepare at the same time for any eventualities. Because this outbreak could go in any direction. It could even be messy. South korea has the third highest number of coronavirus cases after china and the cruise ship. Here, workers disinfect a seoul subway station a transport system used by millions in the city. Governments across the world are trying to stop the spread, but the who is calling on countries to invest more resources to tackle the virus. Lets talk to our correspondent jenny hill, whos in yokohama near the airport where the flight left from. We can see the ship behind you. Still a significant number of people on board. Yes, last night when we
stood here, almost every cabin was lit up. Tonight, farfewer, but you are right, it is not the end of the story here. Around 1000 crew reportedly remain on board, as do several hundred passengers. These are people who tested negative for the virus but shared a cabin with someone the virus but shared a cabin with someone who tested positive. They are subject to further quarantine him. Local media report about 100 people were taken to a government facility to continue quarantine earlier today but still passengers left on board. The other reason the ship remains so symbolic of the difficulty of containing the virus is the fact that three people have been allowed to disembark and return home to their countries, they have subsequently tested positive for coronavirus. 0ne lady in israel and two in australia. So great concerns in the region and further afield as to how safe many of the people
coming off the ship will be once they get home and that is why these british passengers will be subject toa british passengers will be subject to a further two week quarantine on the wirral. Jenny hill, thank you. 0ur correspondent luxmy gopal is at the military base boscombe down where the flight is due to arrive. You are hoping to see it touched down in the next hour . That is right. That is the timing we are working with at the moment and it will be landing here at the base and on board will be 32 british and other european nationals, along with government officials and medical staff. Even though passengers on board have been tested negative for coronavirus, they will still be in quarantine for the next two weeks to
make sure they are clear from infection. They are of course not the only british people on board the cruise ship. Some were flown to hong kong last week. Some, we understand, oui kong last week. Some, we understand, our member of the crew and will remain there. And some who have fallen ill are being treated in hospital. In the meantime, passengers flying in in the next hour, they will be taken to the world to be observed, monitored and tested for the next two weeks to make sure they are clear of the virus before they can be sent home. Thank you. The nhs has started testing people for coronavirus in their own homes, in london, to minimise the risk of spreading the infection. If the pilot is successful, it could soon be rolled out to other parts of the uk. Home testing will be carried out by nhs staff, such as nurses or paramedics. This approach is best for you as the individual, for your families, for people
you know and people you meet, and also for the nhs it is the best way for us to be able to continue to provide the services that we do. The duke and duchess of sussex have confirmed theyll stop using the word royal as a brand name, after giving up their official roles. The decision means the couples application to trademark sussex royal has been withdrawn. Heres our royal correspondentjonny dymond. Royal no more. This was not what they wanted. Harry and meghan thought they could create a new role, half in, half out. But now that idea is finished. Their website, sussex royal, will go, their social media id will have to change, their foundation will have to find another name. In the uk and around the world, the word royal will no longer be attached to harry and meghan or to their activities. Earlier this week, it was announced that their office in Buckingham Palace would close,
that harrys honorary military commands would be suspended, that they last royal duties that their last royal duties would come in march. But no one knew if they would still be able to use the word, royal now we know. Come april, their public royal life is finished. The choice is independence or royalty. They chose royal no more. Jonny dymond, bbc news. With me now is royal commentator victoria murphy. We knew a little bit about the process but until now, we had been under the impression that sussex royal would be part of their new life. I think we knew it was being questioned when they announced they we re questioned when they announced they were stepping back a senior royals asa were stepping back a senior royals as a result of the negotiations with the rest of the royal family. They said they would not use the title of his or her Royal Highness. They
would retain them but not use them. But when the question was asked what about sussex royal, they did not have a clear answer at that stage, so now they have been negotiations about what happens in sussex royal. When they said they would not use the Royal Highness title, it is hard to see how sussex royal could have been viewed differently because they are no longer working members of the royalfamily are no longer working members of the royal family and no longer working within the system and institution. Using the term royal is not appropriate. I was struck when i looked at the Statement Issued today, issued on their behalf. It said while there is not any jurisdiction by the monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word royal overseas, the duke and duchess do not intend to use sussex royal. The implication is that it is not a relaxed statement. Saying there is a line, we have not crossed it, but we choose not to do that. Does that reflect the tone of the
negotiations. I think that is an interesting point and if you look at the update on the website yesterday evening, there were sections where you could make the same comment, sections where they point out. They say there was precedent for members of the royal family working separately and representing the queen. I am separately and representing the queen. Iam not separately and representing the queen. I am not sure what they mean because i cannot think of an example. Because i cannot think of an exa m ple. Clearly because i cannot think of an example. Clearly they feel perhaps they have given up more than originally hoped and they have been honest and said they hoped to have more of a Halfway House and that it wasnt possible. It is clear what they value the most is their ability to operate or so giving up things perhaps they had not initially intended, they are willing to do that as long as they can achieve the goal of being free to make decisions about their future. With sussex royal, in some ways it is frustrating for them because they have to go back to the drawing board and re establish themselves under a
new name, but in doing so, they will be more free from the constant potential criticism of should they use royal, are they cashing in by doing so . For them, use royal, are they cashing in by doing so . Forthem, this use royal, are they cashing in by doing so . For them, this is a better outcome in the long term. Doing so . For them, this is a better outcome in the long termlj doing so . For them, this is a better outcome in the longterm. I suppose there was always the danger of the moment they reached a commercial deal, they would be attacked in the media for doing so. Because we have just seen recent pictures of the two of them continuing to perform public duties. After the end of march, anything that had a taint of commercialism, they were open for criticism. Presumably now this protects them from that accusation of cashing in on the queen. In terms of cashing in on the queen. In terms of that name it does, the accusation of that name it does, the accusation of cashing in using the name royal, but the question of whether projects they take on reflect well on the royalfamily, there they take on reflect well on the royal family, there will still be a question and they acknowledged that when they said they would only take on projects that uphold the
integrity of the queen. It is not clear exactly what they mean by that. I am sure they will do things we have not seen the queen do but clearly a n we have not seen the queen do but clearly an intent to still acknowledge their behaviour reflects on the royal family as they are still members of the family. They will be members of the family but from april the 1st, they will step back as working royals. January the 3ist back as working royals. January the 31st is the last day of the current setup. They have some royal duties that will be covered in the same way but from the 1st of april, no office at Buckingham Palace and they will be represented in the uk from representatives of their charitable organisations, not by the royal household. An intriguing prospect. We have not seen anything like it before. Interesting to see how much we notice in the coming months. The democratic president ial hopeful Bernie Sanders has warned russia not to meddle in us elections. Mr sanders confirmed a report in the Washington Post that Us Intelligence officials had told him moscow was trying
to help his campaign. President trump has dismissed similar claims about his campaign as a hoax. Chris buckler sent this report from washington. Us intelligence officials have long believed that russia tried to interfere in americas 2016 election by spreading disinformation online. And, four years on, theyve briefed members of congress that moscow is meddling again. This time, notjust to help donald trump, but also the democratic candidate who is his political polar opposite, Bernie Sanders. An apparent attempt to sow more division in a country already split by mr trumps presidency. But although this information came from his own intelligence agencies, americas commander in chief has dismissed the claims as a hoax being spread by his political opponents. Its disinformation. Thats the only thing theyre good at. They are not good at anything else. They get nothing done do nothing democrats. Senator sanders is the current front runner in the Democratic Party battle to challenge mr trump. And hes far from sceptical about the allegations of interference, even claiming that russia might be responsible for some online attacks that have been attributed to his campaign. Mr putin is a thug. He is an autocrat. He may be a friend of donald trumps, he is not a friend of mine. Let me tell mr putin, the American People whether you are republicans, democrats, independents are sick and tired of seeing russia and other countries interfering in our elections. Supporters of Bernie Sanders are at the opposite end of the political spectrum to president trumps. And the american authorities clearly fear that russia can take advantage of that kind of fight for the presidency in an attempt to disrupt democracy once again in the united states. A man is due in court later
in connection with a stabbing at London Central mosque. Daniel horton, whos 29, is charged with causing grievous bodily harm and possession of a weapon. He is due to appear before westminster magistrates today. Raafat maglad, whos in his 70s, was treated in hospital for stab wounds, following the incident on thursday. The uk is bracing itself for more bad weather today as the recovery from storms ciara and dennis continue. Two severe flood warnings remain in place in england and there still are over 130 flood warnings in england, scotland and wales. The met office has also issued two yellow warnings for snow and ice on the west coast of scotland and for strong winds expected across scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of Northern England. Lets get more from our weather presenter matt taylor. How are things with you this morning . Are you glad to be inside
ain . Morning . Are you glad to be inside again . I am. It has turned out to be again . I am. It has turned out to be a lively end. Last night we saw a month of rainfall again in the Yorkshire Dales are not far off in the cumbrian fells. And severe flood warnings have dropped. They responded to last weekends rain. Some of that is finally working through the slow responding rivers. River levels rising again in parts of Northern England and more rain to come. We could see another night of persistent rain in parts of wales, midlands, england especially. When you look at the overall picture, there seems to be, and i hesitate to say it, because those who are affected, it has been horrible and i would not want to underplay how miserable it is and how disorientating it is to find yourself out of your home. Particularly unexpectedly. The
Environment Agency say the number of properties affected is lower than other events we have suffered recently. But not as bad as people for it could be . It is down to the Environment Agency and where they put protection down. But we are seeing so far this month well above average rainfall. Some parts from wales, to the midlands and yorkshire, some approaching three times the monthly total. February is usually a drier month of winter. But not this year, it has been mild and wet. After tonights rain, we are not done. We have an atlanticjet strea m not done. We have an atlanticjet stream which is dictating the weather. It is still putting a lot of cloud our way and there are signs we could see a stormy low heading on monday. Unsettled start to the week again. You mention in the forecast snow, at least in scotland. Any
indication yet of that spreading across the country, or do the mild conditions we have experienced mitigate against that . Looking at some of the longer term models over the next weeks, they indicate we will stay with above average temperatures. It is the westerly wind that dictates. While we have that we will not see a sudden cold snap, widespread snow. That said, parts of Northern England and scotla nd parts of Northern England and scotland again on monday could start the day with significant disruptive snow. By the end of the day, the evening rush hour, that will be followed with severe winds that can cause damage and disruption. It is turning into a february we will not forget in a hurry. I am sure your news will be welcomed with unalloyed iy news will be welcomed with unalloyed m by news will be welcomed with unalloyed joy by those returning to school on monday. Sport now, and a full round up
from the bbc sport centre. I hope no danger of the rugby being disrupted. Some huge matches to come this weekend as the six nations returns after the break in what could be a defining weekend certainly in the championship. England hosting ireland tomorrow. Wales ta ke england hosting ireland tomorrow. Wales take on france. They have shaun edwards, the former wales defence coach, now doing the same job for the french. I have had great support from the welsh public, who accepted me as one of their own. The support i heard from them was fantastic. To be honest, some of the friends and relationships i have in england and wales, they go beyond a game of rugby. People are so kind. It was definitely a home away from home for me. Elsewhere, scotland in rome to play italy. The scots losing to england last time. Pressure on
the head coach and his team, who enter what is must win territory if theircampaign is enter what is must win territory if their campaign is seen as anything close to successful. Not long to go till the fight between day on tay wilder and tyson fury. Deontay wilder. He is at his heaviest weight for any professional bout in his career. We have the build up in vegas. When they met at the press conference, this happened. That resulted in the nevada states Athletic Commission banning a face off last night. Both looked confident on the scales. The chiselled champion charted by tyson fury supporters throughout. More verbal blows exchanged, with both refusing to give ground. Verbal blows exchanged, with both refusing to give groundlj verbal blows exchanged, with both refusing to give ground. I have a lwa ys refusing to give ground. I have always had to fight bigger guys. This is only going to slow him down. Iam going this is only going to slow him down. I am going to rock with it, swing with it. Bring it along. I am not worried about his weight. I tell him, dont blink. Deontay wilder said this was his own country but i told him las vegas is mine. The fans have turned out to see the gypsy king. All of my fans are here. The next time they come face to face will be in the ring later this evening. A dramatic draw last time, the rematch has divided opinion even amongst the greats of the sport. Who will win . I cannot say. Give me a name. I cannot say. Last time i went with a boxer and the puncher won. This time if i go with the boxer, or the puncher, the boxer might win. Tyson fury is the better boxer. You
think Deontay Wilder doesnt know that . Ive got to get this boy out. But he knows that hes got 12 rounds to get him out. Will it be another highlight knockout for the american or will the self proclaimed gypsy king become the heavyweight king . We will find out in the next few hours. Six games in the premier league today. Chelsea against tottenham. Frank lampard coming up against former managerjose mourinho. They won the premier league twice together as a player. He says their relationship has not changed a great deal. Our relationship after working together. It changes. I moved on and it changes.

Kick off at

You will be able to follow the matches in the premier league on the bbc sport website and app. That is all from me andi website and app. That is all from me and i will have an update in around and i will have an update in around an hour. Its the final weekend of campaigning before voting begins in the labour leadership contest. The three candidates left in the running are sir keir starmer, rebecca long bailey and lisa nandy. Lets get more on this from our Political Correspondent tom barton. We talk of you in the same breath. It is the story you can always run back to because it is still going on and will be for a few weeks yet. Labour party members, there is a lot of them, half a million or so, over the next days ballot papers will land on doormats to be filled in and sent off. More of a month much more than a month of campaigning to go. The ballot is open until early
april. Those candidates will be doing what they can to win peoples votes. We have keir starmer, he is widely seen as the favourite. The bookies favourite, giving him an 88 chance of winning. You do not get good odds if you bet on him at the moment the shadow brexit secretary, closely associated with the labour policy on brexit. Rebecca long bailey is seen as a candidate of the left endorsed by many people close to Jeremy Corbyn. Of the left endorsed by many people close toJeremy Corbyn. Including Jeremy Corbyn himself and the unite general secretary len mccluskey. Lisa nandy is seen as an outsider, given a 4 chance of winning. She has impressed some people with performances particularly in recent tv debates. Labour members have a vote. There are a lot of them now. 100,000 new members havejoined since the start of the leadership campaign. It is hard to know what that will mean for individual candidates. But the Campaign Goes on. This weekend there will be more events. All three of them appearing at hustings in peterborough and durham. And to be fair to them and the organisation, they have been getting around the country. The organisation, they have been getting around the countrym the organisation, they have been getting around the country. It is a busy campaign. They go around the country seeing lots of members in person at hustings events. If nothing else for whoever wins, it will be good training for a general election campaign. Thank you. Some of englands top Rugby Union Clubs are backing a new scheme being rolled out to help young boys to spot the signs of Mental Health problems. Just yesterday, former international Danny Cipriani spoke about his own struggles with depression, in a video he posted following the death of his former girlfriend caroline flack. This report from frankie mccamley. A man who is used to hard tackles, but yesterday, Danny Cipriani tackled a very hard subject the death of his former girlfriend caroline flack. I was so vulnerable with her in my moment, when we first met, and i told her everything about me, because i felt safe with her. So i told her all the things that i was embarrassed and shameful about. She made me feel 0k. And, ultimately, it was embarrassment and shame that killed her. So im telling everyone now what my most embarrassing and shameful moments are, because i know she knew i had the strength to do this. His emotional video was praised by the Mens Health Charity movember, who are encouraging young rugby players all over the country to talk. I have seen a couple of players look quite down, and i go over to them and try
and pick them back up. You make a mistake, you think, ive messed it all up, and everyones going to get angry with me. Sometimes our match is posted online, and sometimes there can be mean comments coming towards you. The initiative has the support of top rugby players and stars of top rugby clubs and stars including harlequins danny care, who is encouraging Young Players to open up in what is often seen as a macho sport. Here on the rugby pitch, it is physical, it is tough, it can be brutal at times. Every mistake these young lads make in a match can be right in front of hundreds of people. Not always good for the Mental Health. So thats why, here at this rugby club, they are taking time to talk, off the pitch, away from scrutiny, where there is a place to reflect. For me, i think the mental side of the game is just as important as the physical side of the game. The Movember Charity is teaming up with rugby clubs across england to deliver Mental Health workshops
to more than 8,000 boys aged between 12 and 18. And, as young boys, what do we think about that . What do we think about, like, a man like tyson fury talking about Mental Health . If a person like tyson fury can get through it, it makes you think that pretty much anyone can get through it. In a setting they feel comfortable in, the programme aims to help boys spot signs of depression and anxiety in team mates, and where to go if anybody needs help. How do you deal with the game mentally, if you feel quite bad, or the press is treating you badly after it . One week you play really well, your team wins, you maybe score a try, everyone thinks youre the best player in the world. A week after, you throw and intercept in twickenham in front of 80,000 people, like i did. Its onlyjust a game. Theres more important things in life. Ive got great family, great friends around me, that can take my mind off rugby, and itjust gave me more motivation and determination to come back stronger, fitter, faster. The sports psychologists who developed the programme believe it can help prevent male suicide. If itjust affects one of them, if one of them maybe thinks maybe im struggling a little bit, ill speak to one of my mates, ill pull him aside and tell him im struggling, or go to a coach or a teacher or a parent. Suicide remains one of the biggest killers of men under 50 in the uk. We need to change those statistics, and we need to do something about that at an early stage. So this programme is all about prevention and early intervention, and supporting boys as they go through into adult life, to be more resilient and have coping mechanisms. The programme has been welcomed by players on this pitch, but there is much more to do for those who dont have a team around them. And, for men in particular, Mental Health remains an uncomfortable subject to talk about. Almost a quarter of a Million Pounds has been raised to send
a Young Australian boy to disneyland, after a video of him crying at being bullied went viral. Nine year old quaden can be seen in tears after he was targeted at school for his dwarfism. Celebrities including the Actor Hugh Jackman have spoken out to support quaden. It is amazing, if you look at social media. To see some of the messages that have been sent in after his mother publish that distressing video of his reaction. After coming home after another day at school being bullied about his size. Fans of the tv series friends are celebrating, after news of the reunion theyve been waiting more than 15 years for, is finally happening. All six of the cast posted this picture last night with the caption its happening, confirming they will all return for a one off unscripted special. What i think you are dye used to
