A 29 year old man appears in court in connection with a stabbing inside londons Central Mosque during afternoon prayers. Bernie sanders takes an early lead in the iowa nevada caucuses.

And we will be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers, Lucy Beresford, and martin lipton. Stay with us for that. The british tourists evacuated from a cruise ship injapan hit by the coronavirus have arrived back in the uk. The 30 british and two irish citizens arrived at Arrowe Park Hospital on the wirral this evening, where they will spend the next two weeks in quarantine. They left the diamond princess cruise liner yesterday after all testing negative for the virus. They have already spent more than two weeks in isolation on the ship. This report from fiona trott contains flash photography. Arriving under police escort, and at a hospital in the north west of england. This wasnt the return they once imagined. No relatives to greet them here. Instead, a team of nhs staff, who took them to their room. This is where theyll spend the next two weeks, a nursing accommodation block at Arrowe Park Hospital. Staff here have already looked after travellers from china, and know what to expect. The group of people is slightly different. Obviously theyve come from a cruise ship, rather than from their own homes over in china. But were working exactly the same as we did before with the healthcare professionals, Public Health england, to make sure that they are safe and well managed and comfortable whilst theyre with us. After a delayed 12 hour repatriation flight, they arrived back in the uk this morning. But not all the british tourists who were on the cruise made this flight. In the end, 30 britons and two irish citizens landed in wiltshire and got on these coaches, leaving behind some of the ships crew, many of whom are still on board, and at least four holidaymakers who contracted the virus on the cruise. Two of them are david and sally abel, who also have pneumonia. At first, they were relieved at the hospital care they received. Today, theirfamily are anxious and angry. My dad is, like, saying, this i cant do any more of this, son. You need to get me out of here. Its like prison in here. Weve got no washing facilities. Weve got one toilet to share. We have a small window in our hotel room, which overlooks a brick wall, which is six inches away. Weve got no natural daylight coming into the room. Its awful. No treatment. Some passengers say their patience has also been tested. Theyve already been in quarantine for two weeks, and say other foreign nationals were evacuated from the diamond princess before them. Tonight, another two weeks of quarantine begins. They may be back in the uk, but theyre not home yet. Fiona trott, bbc news, the wirral. Meanwhile, officials in south korea say the number of new coronavirus cases has more than doubled in one day to 433. The Prime Minister described the situation as grave. Many of the new cases are linked to a hospital and to a religious group near the south eastern city of daegu. Here, fresh advice from the foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against all but essential travel to the affected areas. Our correspondent laura bicker gave us the latest from seoul. Well, Health Officials say theyre doing everything they can to get this under control, but the case numbers continue to rise. As you mentioned, the real area of concern is a hospital, a psychiatric ward, where over 100 patients contracted coronavirus while in the hospital. These are long term patients with Underlying Health conditions. Two people from that
hospital have already died. The investigation into how this outbreak started centres around a religious cult with over half a million members across south korea, 9,000 of whom are said to be at risk. Theyve been put in quarantine, and in interviews, around 1,000 of them said they were showing symptoms of the virus. The mayor of the largest affected city, daegu, has told its 2. 5 million residents to stay at home. All military bases are in lockdown. Now, south korea was prepared for this. It had medics on standby. But even they seem surprised at how quickly this has spread. Ijust want i just want to bring you ijust want to bring you some breaking news on that story. We are hearing that italys number of virus infections has jumped to 79 including two deaths, according to an official speaking to the afp

Flooding misery continued in many areas around britain today, with south wales and worcestershire badly affected, and firefighters rescuing people from their homes in the yorkshire dales. Water levels have fallen back in many areas, allowing some people to begin cleaning up, as robert hall reports. Below the battlements of knaresborough castle, the normally lazy river nidd had
become a muddy torrent, fed by hours of rainfall over the yorkshire dales, creeping once more towards riverside homes and businesses. Villages around the market town of settle had borne the brunt of the new weather front. Locals filmed these images of flash flooding, which cut roads in and out of horton in ribblesdale. Back in knaresborough, the owner of mother shiptons cave, a popular tourist attraction, was waiting to begin yet another clear up, as the visitor season loomed. I mean, ive had the park eight years now, and its getting worse, i have to say. I thought two years ago was bad, but obviously its come back to haunt us now. They were clearing up in cardiff, too. 100 volunteers helping to remove six tons of debris left by the river taff at bute park. In worcestershire, chris walter stood in the ruins of his business
and said he was giving up the fight to survive. I just cant cope with it anymore. I was flooded in 2007, and that was pretty traumatic. But this time, you know. During the day, river levels have fallen back. The highest flood alerts have been downgraded, and many roads reopened. Tonight, the Environment Agency said there was a slow improvement along those rivers most affected by the recent bad weather. And that respite should continue tomorrow, but further heavy rain forecast for this region on monday means there is a risk of further disruption.

In the us, democrats in nevada are gathering to decide who they want to be the partys nominee to take on trump in the election later this year. Party meetings, or caucuses, are taking place throughout the state. Very early results have given senator Bernie Sanders the lead so far. 0ur correspondent sophie long reports from one of the caucuses in northern las vegas. Caucusing has just concluded caucusing hasjust concluded here in this High School Gym in north vegas. It was a bit of a shambolic affair, i have to say, but what we saw here was Bernie Sanders doing better than any other candidate, and that really reflects what we have been seeing in the polls both nationally and here in nevada. Both Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg had strong showings in iowa and new hampshire, but nevada is the first state with the racial make up that roughly mirrors that of the United States as a whole, so people will be watching
very closely to how candidates fare here. This is how democrats in nevada choose their candidate for president. Caucusing is taking place in around 2000 venues across the state. The results will be reported by volu nteers state. The results will be reported by volunteers using a new system, and combine thousands of early Voting Results for the first time. But the Nevada Democratic party is confident there will not be a repeat of the chaos seen in iowa. This is a crucial contest for all the candidates, and there are a lot of factors at play. Wednesdays debate saw the most heated exchanges yet. So, mr mayor, are you willing to release all of those women from those nondisclosure agreements, so we can hear their side of the story . The first appearance by former new york mayor mike bloomberg, but he is not on the ballot here and thousands had already voted. Now, reports that russians are meddling again, this time in Bernie Sanderss campaign. He is expected to do well here. Former Vice President joe biden needs to regain momentum here to carry him through to super tuesday, when more than 1a states vote, in just over a weeks time. Well, the nation will be watching notjust for the results, but how they are delivered. This is an untried, u ntested delivered. This is an untried, untested system being run by volunteers, and in this Case High School students, and the Democratic Party knows that if there is a repeat in the massive delays in reporting results that we saw in iowa, then there will only be one winner to here tonight, and it wont be any of the names that have been taped to gym floors across nevada. It will be donald trump. The duke and duchess of sussex have confirmed they will 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. Here is our royal correspondentjonny dymond. Royal no more. This wasnt 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 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. The start of a week long partial truce between the taliban, the Afghan Government and the United States appears to have passed off peacefully. All sides have committed themselves to not launching any major attacks. It could lead to the withdrawal of foreign troops after nearly two decades of war. 0ur correspondent Secunder Kermani reports. Celebrations late last night, as the reduction in violence came into effect. For the next week, the taliban and, Afghan Government and us forces have promised not to carry out major attacks, helping pave the way, it is hoped, for an eventual peace deal. War has torn this country apart. This was a taliban suicide bombing last member, which killed 12 people, including an american soldier. It led the us to suspend talks with taliban, just as
a deal was about be signed. But President Trump wants an exit from the United States longest ever war. The taliban wants to make a deal. Well see if they want to make a deal. Its got to be a real deal, but we will see. Talks with the taliban resumed early this year. The two sides have drawn up an agreement that would see a timetable established for the withdrawal of american troops, in exchange for the taliban breaking links with groups like alqaeda. If the next seven days pass off peacefully, it will be signed next weekend. Translation it depends how honest the taliban are. If they do what they say, we will have peace. If they dont, they are just playing with us. But, even if the us taliban agreement is signed, that wont be the end of this conflict. Instead, it will signal the start of a new set of discussions, this time between the taliban and other at times feuding
afg ha n taliban and other at times feuding afghan political leaders. Together, they will need to establish a longer lasting ceasefire, and decide how the country should be governed in the country should be governed in the future. For many afghans, the immediate priority is peace. More than 3000 civilians lost their lives here last year. Now, there is a chance, at least, of an end to the violence. The headlines on bbc news 32 british and irish tourists arrive at a Quarantine Centre in the wirral, after being evacuated from a coronavirus hit cruise ship. Fears about the spread of the virus, as the number of new cases in south korea more than doubles in one day. Water levels fall, but the misery continues for thousands of victims of the floods. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres gavin. Good evening. We begin with the six nations, which saw mixed fortunes
for the home sides today. Scotland got their first win of the campaign, with a 17 0 victory in rome. While wales hopes of defending their title have all but disappeared. They were beaten 27 23 by france, who remain on course for the grand slam. Adam wild reports. In cardiff, they know how to put on a show, but this was an occasion that needed no extra fireworks. Pride, passion, as always, but this promised something altogether more spectacular. The flame lit in the build up with france accusing wales of disrespect. At times, though, they are hard not to admire. Anthony bouthier with the games opening try. Penalties kept wales in touch, but even with hands on Paul Willemse he is impossible to rein in. Wales, though, are capable of their own power play. This was dillon lewis rousing the dragon. But as wales threatened once more, momentum suddenly swung. Romain ntamack with the interception. From there, there was no stopping him. Roared on by a wall of noise, wales would still not back down. Dan biggar crashing in to reduce the difference to just four points. But a heroic final push couldnt get them any closer. Ill feeling continuing to the end and beyond, but by then the fight had gone and so too, it seems, wales hopes of retaining their title. Earlier it was rome in the eternal city, where the italy teams misfortune appears never ending. No win in five years in this tournament, so for scotland perhaps no better chance to get their campaign finally up and running. Captain stuart hogg was doing exactly that. They added two more in the second half. It wasnt pretty it didnt have to be. Scotlands relief clear to all. Adam wild, bbc news. In the premier league, Manchester City have tightened their grip on second place after beating third placed leicester but only just. City had a chance to go ahead from the penalty spot, but Sergio Aguero saw his effort saved by kasper schmeichel. But they did manage to score late

Chelsea remain in a strong position to finish in the top four, with victory over tottenham, who are now four points behind in fifth place. Crystal palace got their first win of 2020 while there were also victories for burnley and southampton. Motherwell have moved up to third in the scottish premiership, despite a goalless draw with second bottom hamilton. Thats because aberdeen lost 2 1 against ross county. Hibernian and livingston drew 1 1. Celtic and rangers both play tomorrow. In rugby league, st helens were beaten by the sydney roosters in the world club challenge. The match pits the winners of super league against the nrl champions and it was the australian side who triumphed. Luke kearys try making sure of the 20 12 victory. The roosters have now won the title twice in a row and for a record fifth time overall. And were just a few hours away from tyson furys world heavyweight rematch with deontay wilder. The pair go head to head in vegas in the early hours of tomorrow morning. The pair weighed in overnight and were made to stay apart after clashing at the press conference. Fury weighing in heavier than he did for the first bout between these two, and hes set to be roared on by thousands of british fans. Deontay wilder said the other day that this was his home country. But id told him that las vegas is mine. The fans have turned out to see the gypsy the fans have turned out to see the gypsy king. All my fa ns fans are here ive always had to fight the good guys, bigger than i. Its only going to slow him down. I am going to ride with it, swing with it, ride with it. Let him bring it oii. It, ride with it. Let him bring it on. Im not worried about his weight. All im telling him, dont
blink. It promises to be epic, that fight. Thats all the sport for now. Gavin, thanks very much. 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 one moment, when we first met, that 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 ok. 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 played online, and sometimes there can be mean comments coming towards you. The initiative has the support of top rugby players 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 you think about, like, a man coming and talking to you 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 later, 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. And well be taking our second in depth look at the papers with our reviewers, Lucy Beresford and martin lipton. Thats coming up after the headlines at 11 30. Now its time for a look at the weather. The weather continues in the vein it has been in really throughout much of this month. We have more rain on the way and more concerns about flooding as well. Perhaps not on the scale we have seen, but nevertheless weve got 100 flood warnings in force, little more than that, and those flood warnings have been rising across parts of scotland and Northern England. Weve got more
rain on the way. Look at this weather front, it stretches over 4000 mild all the way into the caribbean, would you believe it . And along the front there are two areas of low pressure, both of these little bumps at the moment causing us some concerns. The little bumps at the moment causing us some concerns. The first of these will be bringing rain overnight. The rain is already with us, the heaviest at the moment in wales. It will get heavy across the midlands and Northern England and it is across these areas that are really already saturated where we could see 2040 already saturated where we could see 20 40 millimetres of rain. There are further flooding concerns. 20 40 millimetres of rain. There are furtherflooding concerns. At the same time, joe was blowing across scotland, particularly in the north, with snow over modest hills. For sunday, its an improving weather picture. The cloud and rain we start the day with ten strictly southwards, brightening up with some sunshine. Ten strictly. It wont be as windy as it has been over recent days. The coolest day across northern areas. Mild in the relatively cloudy south. The second of those two areas of low pressure come through on sunday. This one, as
it runs on, well be bumping into cold air, we could see patches of frost before that with the system allow arrives. That and the range is no stop initially over the hills of Northern Ireland and Northern England, may be getting down to lower levels at times, perhaps across Northern England and into parts of scotland as well. The snow could coincide with monday mornings rush hour to work. Aside from the snow in scotland, strong winds for the northern half of the uk, gusts 6070 the northern half of the uk, gusts 60 70 mph, perhaps stronger. Whether due to the heavy snow or the strong winds, there is a risk of disruption, particularly for scotla nd disruption, particularly for scotland as we head into monday. Now, elsewhere we see this band of greenbushes we southwards and eastwards a cross greenbushes we southwards and eastwards across the country. Of course, any extra rain isnt welcome given the flooding concerns we have at the moment. But that renal sweepers were eastwards, followed by blustery showers. It will be a blowy kind of way day. That renal suite. It will often pretty windy with rain or showers driven in. Thursday could see a spell of more persistent rain and it will be cold enoughin persistent rain and it will be cold enough in the week ahead for some of the rain to fall as snow as well. We could see further disruption over the next couple of days at least. Hello, this is bbc news. We will be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment.
