Spread of the virus. The other main stories on bbc news at 5. When the water wont go away the enduring misery of an east yorkshire village, flooded for more than a week. When harry met hamilton the prince opens a new museum at silverstone, with the formula one world champion. Singing. And harmonies and heartache for the military wives that and all the other new releases in the film review with mark kermode at 5. 45. Good evening, its 5 oclock. Imjane hill, our main story. The number of people around the world infected by the coronavirus has topped 100,000. The number of confirmed cases in the uk has risen to 163, in the biggest dailyjump, out of more than 20,300 people tested. The government is promising to spend another £46 million on coronavirus, including more money on the race to develop a vaccine. Ministers have said theres absolutely no need for people to stockpile food. Meanwhile more than 140 british nationals are among thousands of people stranded on a cruise ship off San Francisco, after some passengers developed flu like symptons. Lauren moss has the latest details. This is one of our test kits, very simple. Containing the virus, working on a vaccine to fight it and a fast test to detect it. Today more money has been set aside for the Research Phase of tackling the coronavirus. What were announcing today is a £46 million package of investment in uk science, which will in time deliver a vaccine. Some say about a year, perhaps around that scale. But also to help us to have rapid test kits that anybody can use quickly and efficiently to tell whether we have the coronavirus. At the minute, results can take a few days. A rapid test like a pregnancy test could detect if someone has the virus within 20 minutes. But its unlikely to be ready for several months, and any vaccine is a year away. That said, there have been remarkable changes in the ability to make vaccines and discover vaccines just in the last few years, and so things have progressed much more quickly than they would have done in the past, and its not unreasonable to assume that we will end up with a vaccine, and we may do so in a year, 18 months. Yesterday, a woman in her 70s became the first patient to die in the uk after being diagnosed with the coronavirus. She had been treated for other health problems. In recent days, supermarket shelves on the left empty in some countries. Within the food supply, we are absolutely confident that people will, that there wont be a problem there, and crucially we are working with the supermarkets to make sure that if people are self isolating, then well be able to get food and supplies that they need. 0ne supermarket executive says staff are working round the clock to keep shelves stocked. Around the world, the number of cases continues to rise. The city of bethlehem is now under quarantine after seven patients were confirmed there, and one person has tested positive at a clinic inside the vatican. Italy is the worst affected country in europe, with more than 3,000 cases. Here, the key advice remains. Dont touch your eyes, nose or mouth unless youve washed your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water for 20 seconds. Its hoped these hygiene steps will slow the spread of the virus. That report from northernmost. This afternoon the Prime Minister has been speaking to reporters about the outbreak heres what he had to say. We are still at the contained stage on the advice very much to people is if you think you have symptoms, you are best to steer the home, call the nhs. If you do need hospitalisation, we will make sure the nhs has all the support it needs. They important, if you return from a high risk area, italy is an example, and you have symptoms, state home. In the same point we made about the nhs and wash your hands. You have heard me say it before, national anthem, it does not matter, hot water and soap. Regarding the government handling of the event, he said were working with supermarkets but supermarkets said they have heard nothing. We are working to ensure we have every possible provision in place but as i say, at the moment we are in the contained phase of our response to the outbreak and the advice is what i have just given you. The Prime Minister talking thereabout containment. As we heard, people have been told there is no need to stockpile food. Our Business Correspondent emma simpson is with me there has been another meeting about this this afternoon. Yes, this afternoon we had a Conference Call with defra and environment minister, with defra and environment minister, with the main supermarkets industry bodies. The government needs to know what the pinch points are and how retailers are coping. Retailers want to give a bit of a reality check to the government as well, for instance on their online capabilities. Which you cannot switch on overnight for delivery vans. It was supposed to be a productive meeting and straightforward. Most strikingly, there is no need to stockpile but clearly a lot of people have been doing that because in the last few days we had seen a big increase in demand. Someone to be the message from this team was that demand has soared for certain products. It was a bit like christmas but of running. Each, hand gels and weights and tissues have been flying off the shelf. 0ne supermarket said hand wash sales had risen by 500 . We knew she would hand as, demand outstripping supply. Cupboard sta ples outstripping supply. Cupboard staples like pasta and rice index demand. The sense is we have been shopping more but it is manageable right now. One supermarket said it is within tolerance limits but obviously supply chains are working ha rd to obviously supply chains are working hard to replenish the gaps on the shelves so for some products like hygiene products, you might have gaps for a couple of days but supplies will be replenished. There is also the question of how much space do consumers have to stop all this extra stuff. I get the impression a lot of freezers are already full so there has been a speaking demand, but will that fade away . The question is, arkinson shopping about more because if they have to sell fatally, it made me more sense to have more shopping items. If they have to self isolate. Items. If they have to selfisolate. We will all be monitoring this, you in particular in the next few days. Thank you very much. As weve heard, more than 140 british nationals are stranded on board a cruise ship which has been put into quarantine off the coast of california. The authorities wont let anyone disembark, and theyve used a helicopter to drop testing kits on to the vessel, the grand princess. It follows the death of a man in his 70s whod taken an earlier cruise on the ship. Peter bowes sent us this report. Another cruise liner paralysed by the coronavirus. The grand princess with 3,500 passengers and crew on board has been barred from docking in San Francisco after cutting short a trip from hawaii. A 71 year old man died after taking an earlier cruise on the ship to mexico. Officials say he had Underlying Health conditions. Another passenger was also infected. Helicopters operated by the Us Coast Guard dropped sampling kits onto the ship for a medical team on board to administer tests for the virus. Less than 100 people with flu like symptoms have been identified as needing the test. Passengers have been told to stay in their cabins. A state of emergency has been declared in california. Around the us there are now cases in at least 20 states. In maryland, officials said three people contracted the disease while travelling overseas. In washington, the worst affected state where 11 people have died, Tech Companies like amazon, facebook and google have told employees to work from home. Us Vice President mike pence, who is leading the effort to control the outbreak, visited washington to meet with state officials. 0ur message to families all across the state of washington is simply this, we are with you. We are here to help and we are going to stay with you every step of the way, until the state of washington and america sees our way through the coronavirus. As officials said they expect the number of cases to continue rising, Congress Passed an emergency 8. 3 billion spending bill to try to combat the disease. But the Financial Markets continue to be nervous. On wall street it was another rough day as fears grow of a World Economic slowdown, linked to the virus. Peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. We can speak to zoe thomas who is in San Francisco for us. What more is being said by the cruise line or any passengers . This morning the president of Princess Cruises put out a video statement on twitter saying we are trying to have this under control. She said these ships are small cities in themselves which comes with the upside of having a city when you are on a vacation tight with people who potentially have the disease. They have to be cautious. They have Health Protocols in place and are working closely with authorities. 45 people were tested on board, the test kits were flown onto the ship because the ship was not allowed to because the ship was not allowed to be docked in San Francisco. We expect results in a few hours and hopefully well know what is happening to the passengers on board. Princess cruises is keen not to have a situation like injapan so the situation is dealt with more quickly and passengers are not stuck on board. Passengers dont want to be stuck on board and become a floating peachtree disease they do not want to be stuck on board. Similarly people in california dont wa nt similarly people in california dont want people with the disease coming off the ship. So we are waiting to find out if people will be quarantined here in california, if people detest positive will be separated from the others. We do not know yet what will happen but we expect answers in a few hours. Thank you very much from San Francisco. Thank you very much from San Francisco. Dr rosalind eggo is an Infectious Disease modeller, from the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine thank you very much forjoining us. In terms of the uk picture, the numbers we are looking at, is that broadly where you would expect us to be . At the moment we have some cases in the uk from travelling affected areas, those people got those diseases from elsewhere. Now we are starting to see cases which are locally acquired which is what we would expect to see. Public Health Groups are doing their best to try and contain those people. This is broadly what we would expect to see at the beginning of an epistemic. You are an Infectious Disease model but this is something new so i presume for you and your team, there is an element of the unknown even with your expertise . There is a tremendous amount of unknowns in the situation. There are key things, eve ryo ne situation. There are key things, Everyone Wants predictions about what happens next but there are key unknowns which make this difficult. But we do know we are starting to see transmission in the uk and were doing our best to stop this. We need to gather as much data as possible in the uk is very good at this. So we can understand and make better predictions which is people want. We can understand and make better predictions which is people wantm it correct to say that there could be people Walking Around who have it and have no idea, they feel key . Be people Walking Around who have it and have no idea, they feel key7m is very difficult to say. There are signals from other countries that you need begin to transmit this infection quite early in the course but these are big unknowns that we are trying to understand. They make are trying to understand. They make a big difference for how he might control and the efforts you might so we need that information as soon as possible. I can see that in terms of how we control it, the message to schools is you do not need to close, that will cause more economic problems but could there, point where that is inevitable, notjust skills but public events, sporting events . Skills but public events, sporting events . Whenever there are epidemics, people consider these measures and we try out what effect they will have. Right now, it is not recommended these steps are taken but in the future if there are recommendations from Public Health and government, to take these measures to slow it down, it is important that we as a community, to protect ourselves, we take those measures when we are asked to. The slowing down is important because it is about pushing the peak of the outbreak into warmer temperatures and Better Weather . It is less about the weather temperature, it is more about pushing the peak down. That will allow the Health System to have more capacity, instead of having a lot of people at once. That is the theory and were trying to work attaching it at happen if we can. That will allow their nhs to cope more easily . Yes. We are all in it together. We are indeed. Thank you so together. We are indeed. Thank you so much forjoining us. Some other coronavirus news from around the world. Egypts Health Ministry says 12 people on a nile cruise ship have tested positive for coronavirus, while not displaying any symptoms. All 12 are staff on the ship and are egyptian nationals.

Thank you very much. As the coronavirus continues to spread around the world and with more than 140 british nationals stranded on board the grand princess in california Cruise Companies are having to adapt, to try to protect both passengers and crew. 0livia sharpe is the Digital Content editor at world of cruising and is here with me now. Good evening to you, a busy time for you. Talking about the ship where the focus is right now. She said hughes accused she said a cruise ship can be petri dish of diseases. Perhaps they have to accept what this is and this is a real challenge for them . Absolutely, it isa real challenge for them . Absolutely, it is a massive challenge for the cruise industry. It has been hit by the coronavirus like other sectors but the cruise industry has on an easing ability to respond to such emergency situations. It is not the first case. And on easing ability. The other ship went into quarantine last month. Passengers we re quarantine last month. Passengers were kept on board and quarantined. The cruise industry body put in place strict protocols as the outbreak of coronavirus happened to deal with the situation and make sure the health and safety of passengers was of the utmost importance. Such protocols as freeboard in screening for passengers, people who have troubled toa passengers, people who have troubled to a high risk risk travels on not being permitted to embark the ship within 14 days of embarkation. The . As pre board screening. Within 14 days of embarkation. The . As preboard screening. He had changed itineraries . Yes, absolutely. Those going to high risk areas and asia have been altered. Some world cruise itineraries have been altered to avoid those areas and in some cases, they have obviously had to cancel some of their cruises if the majority of the cruise was going to a high risk area. But in most cases, they have been trying to make sure that passengers can still get on the cruise ship and go on the trip but it means they have altered itineraries to make sure they hire safe. I think about the crew new situations. There are a lot of passengers but they have their own cabins, crew have to share cabins when theyre working like this. They must have concerns as well . Yes, again, cruise lines put the passengers and crew, they worry about the safety of both in the situation. 0bviously, they are testing passengers and crew to make sure the crew coming on board are healthy. There is a 24 hour medical facility available for passengers and crew to make sure if they feel unwell, they are being checked and looked after so obviously, people are worried about being in full stroke is on a cruise ship but there are so many Health Protocols in place. Hand sanitiser is everywhere. Like i said, pre boarding screening, to make sure passengers are kept healthy on cruise ships. We may well be talking again but thank you very much for now. Thank you. The Health Secretary has been talking about the pressures on the nhs in the last few months. Let us hear what he has been saying. Of course there is going to be more pressures on the nhs because of this virus. That is absolutely clear. There are record numbers of people working in the nhs, including here in the east and that is a good starting point but of course there are pressures on the nhs. There will be more because the impact of this virus. I know that people in the nhs are doing an amazing job. They are such a central part of this National Effort to tackle this virus. Everyone can play their part and i will support the nhs with everywhere i possibly can to help us rise to this challenge. There has been talk of panic buying in some supermarkets, you said you had discussions with the supermarkets to avoid that but supermarkets seem to be saying that they dont recognise that . Any supermarket executive who has not heard from us and wants to engage, then get in tight. We are working with the supermarkets, absolutely. The Health Secretary, matt hancock, speaking there. We will speak more about coronavirus after half past. But let us look at after half past. But let us look at a few other important stories. Last month, dozens of homes in the east yorkshire communities of snaith and east cowick were flooded, when the river aire overflowed. Many of the Properties Still cannot be reached, and the water is taking a long time to recede. 0ur correspondent danny savage has been back to east cowick, to see how people are coping. Its still here. Even though it hasnt rained for days, the draining of certain east yorkshire streets is taking time. The idea the flood waterjust comes and goes in a short period of time just is isnt the case here. Were over a week now and there are Still Properties that cant be reached, because the water is too deep. You can see where people have put in their own flood defences, in the hope of holding back the water, but they were overwhelmed. Look at that window you can see on the line there just how high the water came. On monday, we visited mick in his flooded bungalow. So its come up in a big hump . Its notjust the carpet its. The whole floor . The water here has gone, now comes the plan for the future. Grim. It will be six months at least, we are trying to get a caravan on front lawn, so that were here on site. So, youre going to move into a caravan on the front garden probably . Were hoping to, but. Thats not going to be much fun for six months, is it . Better weathers coming across the road, tony also talked to us a few days ago. You think youre going to get away with it and then when it actually goes in, you can relax, yeah, its done, its finished. Hes been told by his insurers he cant move wet furniture out of the house, but the loss adjusters wont be here until next friday. Its getting wet upstairs now, damp, because there is all this rubbish in the bottom. And they dont want you to move the furniture and things out . No, nothing, no. So, its got to sit here for another week . Yes, as it is. It is already beginning to feel a bit mouldy and damp . And smelling and upstairs smells how, its getting through the whole house. Work to fix things here is under way, but there is a lot to do. They havent even started on some houses. Flooding was never meant to happen here, but lines of defences were overwhelmed. Theyre hoping these blue skies last. Danny savage, bbc news, east cow wick. Jeremy corbyns team wanted to wage a factional war on their opponents inside the labour party until the other side had been crushed. Speaking to the bbcs Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg about the 2016 challenge toJeremy Corbyns leadership, she admitted that it was both mr corbyns team and those who opposed him who wanted the fight. It became very apparent to me that when a whole series of colleagues had resigned from the shadow cabinet and i went to seejeremy and some senior politicians on his own team, they made it very very clear they were going to continue to wage that factional war until the other side had been crushed. It is one thing to have back benchers doing that, it is quite another thing to hear the leadership of the labour party make a commitment to do that. I dont believe in it, i think it is a dead end for labour and i think, unfortunately, the events of the last few years have proved me right. So in your experience, from the story you just related, it was Jeremy Corbyns team who were deliberately waging war on other parts of the labour party . It was both, it was absolutely both. The duke of sussex has been to silverstone, to open a new museum that tells the story of british motor racing. Harry toured the venue with the formula one champion, Lewis Hamilton, and was shown how wheels are changed in the pit. James waterhouse reports. It is not a bad person to get a lift off, is it . His royal highness, until the end of the month, plays passenger to Lewis Hamilton as they arrive at silverstone. Theyre opening this new £20 million Motor Sports Museum at the iconic northamptonshire circuit. This visit is one of the duke of sussexs lastjobs as a royal, before he steps down from his duties in april. With the clock ticking. The world f1 champion tries out to gun that is used to change wheels in the pit. No danger of a job change coming soon, then. Bloody hell the prince chats to younger fans alongside the exhibition, which documents British Racing over the years. I now officially open the silverstone experience. For Lewis Hamilton, there will be no stepping back as he goes for a seventh world title. As for harry and meghan, this is seen as their farewell tour. Their last ever engagement as senior royal family members is on monday. James waterhouse, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather, heres stav. Thank. Many of us on the sunshine today, it felt quite springlike in the strong march sunshine but it will be turning cooler under clear skies tonight and there will be a change at west. The first of a series of wet windy weather across the west. Further east, intensely cold with frost and aimed under bit of snow on scottish mountains as that rain hits the cold air. Temperatures will recover in the west by then the night. Quite an u nsettled west by then the night. Quite an unsettled week, low pressure will dominate, it will be windy and we will see rain at times. This area of low pressure sweeps east as we move through saturday, taking gales and heavy rain method on saturday night off to the north sea. A run of westerly ones on such sunday planning showers as well. Mild on sunday but increasingly strong winds. Sunshine and showers, heaviest in the north. This is bbc news. The headlines. The number of coronavirus cases around the world tops 100,000 with confirmed uk cases now at 163. The Prime Minister says the government is working to keep supermarkets stocked. Were working to ensure that we have every possible provision in place but as i say, at the moment, we are in the contain phase of our response to the outbreak. More than 140 british nationals are among thousands stranded onboard a cruise ship in quarantine off the coast of california. As the race to develop a vaccine continues, the government pledges £46 million for research. There are now signs that the coronavirus in china is being controlled, with new infection figures and numbers of deaths beginning to stabilise. But after more than six weeks of quarantine and shutdown, the pressure on Chinese Society and economy is telling. As other countries consider how best to handle a major outbreak of covid 19, John Sudworth looks at the impact of chinas efforts to deal with the disease across health, education and business. Its a karate class with something missing students. They are all online instead. In the fight against the virus, every school and college in china has now been shut for more than two weeks. I think most of us have confidence for our country to get through all this because i think in this time weve found out we are very united because we just do whatever we can to help the country. We do this by staying at home which is quite important. The universitys internet control centre handles almost 4,000 virtual courses a week. Its a sign of chinas strengths discipline, mass mobilisation, hi tech. But the virus has exposed chinas weaknesses, too, with cover up and delay helping it to spiral out of control. Everyones felt the effects. Here a woman needing urgent chemotherapy for her cancer waits at a checkpoint while her mother pleads to be allowed through. She was eventually taken to a hospital less inundated with the virus, to the relief of her fiance. Some patients in this situation cannot get treated. She was the lucky one who phoned the hospital to get treated. Found in hospital to get treated. Found in hospital to get treated. The wider impact on chinas economy offers a warning to other countries. China now faces two huge conflicting challenges. 0n the one hand, the control measures are necessary to contain the virus, but on the other, by blockading villages, closing down transport networks and keeping tens of millions of workers in quarantine, it risks choking off its economy. Look whats happened to car sales, for example falling by 20 injanuary and more than 80 in february. Air travel statistics are just as stark, with the number of departures from chinas busiest airports massively reduced. With the infection rate falling, business and transport links are being eased back into life, but this giant economy is still a long way from normality. John sudworth, bbc news, beijing. Lets discuss what we can all do to reduce the spread of the virus. Lets discuss it now with someone who knows a lot about this sort of thing. Susan michie is professor of Health Psychology and director of centre for Behaviour Change at University College london she is advising the government on behavioural strategies for reducing transmission of the corona the first thing is to be very clear about what the key behaviours are. The three key behaviours, hand washing before a when you come in from buildings, regularly during the day, not touching your eyes, nose and mouth because that is how the virus gets into your body and using tissues when you sneeze or cough and then disposing of these straightaway any then disposing of these straightaway a ny safe then disposing of these straightaway any safe event. It is one thing to know that and then another thing to align the skills of how to achieve it and these are different skills. Use a skill, but it is so straightforward. It is, but changing your behaviour is not easy, otherwise i would not have a job. So, for example, by the hand washing, it is about thinking about your everyday life. How do you live your everyday life. How do you live your life, how can you build of these new practices into your life so that it has not, will i or will i not do it, but before a meal, i come in from the building, i dont. For touching yourface, in from the building, i dont. For touching your face, that is a very different type of behaviour because it is mainly automatic. We are not aware of it. The evidence shows that more than 20 times an hour, we are touching yourface. More than 20 times an hour, we are touching your face. 20 times in our . What we need to do is think about top down rules for ourselves, do not touch your face at all and keep your hands below shoulder level because once your hands get in the event of your face, the chances are that you will end up touching it. These are different types of strategies for different types of strategies for different types of behaviour. The other thing i would say is that we can all give feedback to each other. We are very social beings, very influence by people around us. If we wa nt to influence by people around us. If we want to bring about a big cultural shift, we should feel empowered to say, actually, im not going to shake your hand because we are not meant to be doing this or, would you like it to show . I noticed you did not have a tissue. You can ask the people. Would you like a tissue. If we can get this going quickly throughout society, we have a good chance of changing behaviour and slowing the transmission of this virus. This is so fascinating because everything you say, of course, makes total sense, because everything you say, of course, makes totalsense, but because everything you say, of course, makes total sense, but i am thinking, for example, commuting to work on public transport, loads of people do it. We know in the average december, january, they believe, when there are lots of codes are in, we see people sneezing and not using a tissue and well moan about it when we get to it when there are colds and flu. But now maybe had the courage to pass that many tissue . Colds and flu. But now maybe had the courage to pass that many tissue7m that what i should be doing . This is a much more serious virus than the normal influenza. Normal influenza is bad enough, but it is more infectious and, for some people, the consequences are greater. This is a great opportunity to actually change your behaviours and habits anyway that we should be doing the whole time anyway. When i was a child, we a lwa ys time anyway. When i was a child, we always wash your hands before meals. There was no ifs or buts. We all clea n there was no ifs or buts. We all clean rt this before we go to bed. We need to get back to that we all clea n we need to get back to that we all clean our teeth before we go to bed. The data shows that there are a lot of people who do not wash their hands. We did a study any more to return it if you years ago and we found that 30 of women were not washing our hands. We will add it up so we had data on the number of people going into the area and the number of people using soap and a 60 of men were not. There is a big room for improvement here and if we can improve it now, not only can we make a difference to this outbreak, but also, we may be able to stop the deaths of influenza in future years by changing our behaviour straight society. I could talk to go for the rest of the air. It is absolutely fascinating. That is my take me today, 30 of women under 60 of men did not wash their hands in that study. It is Getting Better and we need to keep improving. Thank you for your time. More than half of those who have contracted coronavirus have now recovered. But some are far more at risk than others. A recent study from chinas centre for Disease Control found that older people, especially those above the age of 80, are more vulnerable because of weaker immune systems. Those with pre existing medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and asthma are more likely to become severely ill. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes has been speaking to some people with Underlying Health conditions. Tony lives with prostate cancer. He still runs a three times a week, despite his diagnosis. The illness has left him especially vulnerable to infections like coughs and colds and no coronavirus. Because i have no male hormone, i seem to have great difficulty fighting off infections and i got the flu and it really knocked me for six for three months and i normally recover much more quickly than that. We would you put your own colour level of concern over coronavirus . I am trying to live as normal as possible, not abide in christ, taking extra precautions like hand washing as we have been told to do, so i think it is important to do not avoid crowds. We have been advised to wash hands, and used tissues and dispose of them to avoid passing on the virus. We will all need to think how we protect our own health, but the health of everyone around us. Particularly those who might be more vulnerable. Linda is thinking of her mother in law who is in her 905. Vulnerable. Linda is thinking of her mother in law who is in her 90s. we get something, we were not able to help her because we will have to isolate. Linda and sandra have been friends for five decades, but in recent yea rs, friends for five decades, but in recent years, both have experience help ishers, a mini stroke, lung disease, a cancer scare, high blood pressure, that can leave them at risk pressure, that can leave them at risk experience help ishers. Pressure, that can leave them at risk experience help ishers. |j think i need to keep a sensible head on it. Until the think i need to keep a sensible head on it. Untilthe election think i need to keep a sensible head on it. Until the election are told did not guide, which hopefully it will not get to that, im still going out and going to the theatre and enjoy my classes and things like that. People will panic and they are panicking. At the moment, we arent. We arejust panicking. At the moment, we arent. We are just carrying on. Most people have an underlying condition are already well aware of the danger that comes every year with winter flu. With coronavirus, it has the rest of us who need to think carefully about the risk we post them. Pose to them. Never a look at the sport. Good evening. After losing three of their last four matches liverpool have found out today that theyll be missing goalkeeper alisson for the next couple of weeks. The brazilian has picked up a hip injury in training and could now miss the next three matches. Hes definitely ruled out of tomorrows premier league game against bournemouth as well as the visit of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League next week. He may even miss the Merseyside Derby against everton on march the 16th. So with liverpools huge lead slipping and their keeper off, how does managerjurgen klopp get his side back on track . Winning gives you confidence, losing costs you confidence, it is com pletely costs you confidence, it is completely normal and you start thinking about different things. It isa thinking about different things. It is a long while ago, but when defeat feels like two defeats, it is not a massive difference. It is just how you get back on track immediately, on the results track, if you want, and you can do that only not my hoping things are now clicking better than the game before, you just have to work really hard, you have to fight back. Its been some come down for england and phil neville since reaching the world cup semifinal in france last summer. 6 losses in their last 9 games. Before they won the shebelieves cup last year, manager phil neville said he wanted england to overtake the usa as the worlds top team. But overnight, there was a reality check in florida.
