For children who experience or witness Domestic Violence or abuse. I was getting to the point where i didnt like myself very much, because i wasnt being honest with myself. After almost 27 years of marriage, the tv presenter Phillip Schofield goes on live tv to reveal hes gay. And, as the film world prepares for the oscars, one female director tells us hollywood is unconsciously racist. And coming up on sportsday on bbc news rugbys oldest trophy is upforgrabs. Scotland defend the calcutta cup, but can england snatch it from them . Good evening. In china, theres been a huge outpouring of grief and anger at the treatment of a doctor who tried to warn the world of the dangers of the coronavirus. Hundreds of millions of people have viewed social media posts on dr li wenliang, whos died after contracting the illness while treating infected patients. He was censored by the authorities in the city of wuhan, after raising the alarm back in december about the potential dangers of the new virus. The government has now sent officials to investigate how he was treated. As the coronavirus continues to spread, controls and restrictions are increasing right across china, where more than 600 people have died and another 31,000 have been infected. From beijing, heres our china correspondent, john sudworth. Shouting. In some cities those suspected of being sick are being rounded up, with multiple unverified videos showing the quarantine squads at work. Its all adding to a growing sense of disbelief and dread. I dont want to be taken away like that, a child can be heard saying. Screaming. But now the fear is turning to anger. Dr li wenliang was one of the first to report signs of the new strange virus, but his online posts were censored and the police made him sign this confession, along with seven others, for spreading rumours. His death from the virus in this wuhan hospital has prompted an outpouring on social media. The hashtag i want freedom of speech viewed almost 2 million times before being blocked. Dr li was the first whistle blower, but no one cared, this man tells me. Are you angry . Yes, a bit, she says, but more hopeless if theyd listen to him the situation would be better now. On a beijing river bank, we find a tribute to the doctor. Goodbye, li wenliang, it says. There can be no doubting just how sensitive a moment this now is for chineses ruling communist party, the already simmering concern about the mishandling of the crisis exploding into a public wave of anger and grief. In the death of a doctor, the systemic failings have been laid bare. The response though is likely to be more censorship. These videos of wuhans hospitals, the conditions inside, and the people queuing for masks, were taken by a blogger. I spoke to him earlier this week. What are your thoughts on how long you will be able to continue providing independent reporting from wuhan . I am not sure, he says. The censorships so strict, peoples accounts are being closed down if they share my content. His family say hes now disappeared. In this Public Health disaster, there are real political risks and the orders are already being sent out maintain stability, tighten control. John sudworth, bbc news, beijing. A british man on his honeymoon is among more than 60 people whove tested positive for the virus on board a cruise ship injapan. Alan steele, whos 58 and from wolverhampton, has been taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Of the 3700 people on board the diamond princess, its thought there are around 80 britons, with the ship quarantined in yokohama. All the passengers have been confined to their cabins for the next fortnight. Heres our medical correspondent, fergus walsh. Some passengers have called it a floating prison. Three days into the two week quarantine of japan, passengers are being allowed to exercise on deck wearing face masks. But dozens on the diamond princess have been removed to hospital for treatment. Among them, alan steele, on his honeymoon. Hes among nearly 80 british people on board. 41 additional passengers have been found positive tested for the coronavirus, one of whom is a friend of ours, on honeymoon, who has been. Who was going to be split from his wife, you know, on honeymoon. He was going to be taken to a medicalfacility and she will have to remain on board. Theres still a lot we dont know about this virus and the next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether a pandemic, a global epidemic, can averted. It is spread through droplets, face to face contact within a couple of metres of an infected person. The incubation period is up to 14 days. It now looks less likely that people spread the infection before they have symptoms. The virus causes a fever and cough. The majority have mild symptoms, but it can cause breathing difficulties and viral pneumonia, as lung tissue becomes inflamed. Most of those whove died are elderly, with Underlying Health problems. But not all. Dr li wenliang, among the first to raise the alarm about the new virus, was just 34. He would have risked repeated infections at close quarters to patients. If a large amount of virus is coming in all at the same time, in the case of a Health Care Worker working very closely with infected patients, it could be that the amount of virus in the body increases very, very rapidly before the immune system has the chance to deal with it, and so that could lead to a rapid onset of severe disease. The World Health Organisation has warned of a global shortage of face masks and other protective equipment. In part because people who dont need them are buying them. The world is facing severe disruption in the market for personal. For personal protective equipment. Demand is up to 100 times higher than normal and prices are up to 20 times higher.

A jury has been shown cctv footage of the Manchester Arena bomber just seconds before he detonated his device, killing 22 people. In it, hes seen in the foyer, surrounded by members of the audience leaving an Ariana Grande concert. It was shown at the trial of his brother hashem abedi, who denies murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to cause explosions. He says if he knew about his brothers plans for the attack in 2017, he would have reported him. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports from the old bailey. Today, the Manchester Bombing trial heard how salman abedi, whod flown back to britain just four days before the attack, made his final preparations, using a blue suitcase to collect explosives and chemicals from a nissan micra, where he had stored them. He built his bomb into a karrimor backpack from sports direct. It contained 30 kilograms of metal shrapnel, much of it nuts and bolts bought from screwfix. And then the jury was shown a single frame from cctv from the city room, the foyer just outside the Manchester Arena. It shows salman abedi surrounded by dozens of people, some of them concert goers, others people waiting to collect members of the audience. The frame was recorded just 15 seconds before his bomb went off. 22 people died in the explosion, aged eight to 51. The jury heard that among them a 19 year old Courtney Boyle and her stepfather philip tron, who were there to pick up courtneys younger sister. Also killed were teenage sweethearts Chloe Rutherford and liam curry, nelljones, Eilidh Macleod and sorrell leczkowski, who were just 1a and 15 year old megan hurley, who was at the concert with her brother bradley, who was seriously injured but survived. He has been in court all week to hear the prosecution open their case. The man on trial is hashem abedi, Salman Abedis brother. Hes admitted buying some acid that can be used to make explosives, but said he thought it was for a battery, and he said the murderous attack on the Manchester Arena was nothing to do with him. Daniel sandford, bbc news, at the old bailey. A new record has been set for the number of migrants intercepted in a single day trying to reach the uk from france by crossing the channel. 102 people have been detained today, breaking the previous record of 90, set yesterday. The Home Office Said that five inflatable boats had been stopped. French authorities have also detained a further 30 people. A coroner has accused the Scout Association of putting young lives at risk, following the death of a teenager during a trip to north wales two years ago. Ben leonard, who was 16, fell from a cliff near llandudno. A report said none of the leaders on the trip knew where he was when he died. The Scout Association says its policies and procedures have been strengthened since the incident. Shamima begum, the former schoolgirl from london who ran away to join the Islamic State group, has lost the first stage of a legal challenge against the stripping of her british citizenship. The judge accepted the governments argument that ms begum hadnt been made stateless, because she was entitled to bangladeshi citizenship. A gp has been handed three life sentences, and must serve a minimum term of 15 years, for committing 90 Sexual Offences against more than 20 female patients. The old bailey heard that manish shah carried out unneccessary intimate examinations for his own sexual gratification. 0ur correspeondent Helena Wilkinson is here. What more did we hear in court . M is worth saying that this is the first time we have been able to report that it is 90 Sexual Offences against 2a of his female victims. Many of them were at the old bailey in court to see their former gp being sentenced today, a man who they put their trust in. Now, shah had posed as a concerned and caring Family Doctor when, in fact, behind the scenes, he was carrying out these intimate examinations which we re these intimate examinations which were not medically necessary and, at times, were at risk to his female patients. Today, thejudge, when she sentenced shah said he was a master of deception, that he used a mixture of deception, that he used a mixture of flattery and fear and abused his position of trust. She went on to say to shah your behaviour was not only sexual but was driven by your desire to control and, on occasions, humiliate women. In terms of the impact on his victims, they are still very clearly, as we heard in court today, struggling and trying to get over what their former doctor did to them and the judge also said in court today we may never know the full scale of shahs offending. Helene, thank you. Specialist counsellors say there arent enough services tailored for children whove experienced Domestic Abuse. Its estimated one in six youngsters witness or suffer some form of violence or abuse in the home, and thousands arent receiving the care they need. Asjeremy cooke reports, if the damage is left untreated, the consequences can last for decades. I still remember hearing my mums screams. I remember her black eyes, split lip. Herfear as the door went. Dad had come home in one of those moods, which means we should all run for cover. Its hearing your mums screams. Which ill recall for a long while yet. Carl is 52, a survivor of childhood Domestic Violence. Now hes written down the boyhood memories that have cast their shadow over his entire life. Memories of how his mum, his brothers and he were repeatedly beaten by his dad. You wonder, if you say something, thats going to spark him off to become violent. You wonder, are you going to sleep tonight . I used to get lots of nightmares as a kid. An enormous amount of nightmares. The police were never phoned. They never got called to our house, through all of it, because i dont think my mum knew that she could. Did she get any help from anybody . No. Did you . No. Decades after carls nightmare, nspcc Research Says that one in six children suffer or have witnessed some form of Domestic Abuse. Daddy got really angry. He chucked the breakfast over mummys head. He put his fist through doors. He smashed up furniture. These sisters and their mum needed help. Just wonder what was going to happen next. I could see that they were experiencing a lot of the fear and anxiety that i was experiencing. If you compare what our life was like when we lived together and now, its a lot more peaceful now. The family got support from school through 0peration encompass. It works when police immediately alert teachers about children caught up in abuse and violence. We wanted a safe and secure place, so we actually worked with him. Teachers are learning much more about whats at stake. We know that the impact of Domestic Abuse is really significant. We know that that goes on to impact on all of our development, learning, health, into adulthood. Has it stayed with you . I probably dont trust people as much as i should, i guess. I think that sense of being let down does, erm, eat away at you. A rare look at a unique service. How did you cope in the beginning . Natasha benjamin is a specialist counsellor, determined to stop the long term damage of Domestic Abuse. When youre not feeling good, how can people comfort you best . Its why natasha works exclusively with children. They need to be nurtured, and that does not happen when you live with Domestic Violence. She is treating these girls as shes treated others. Like tia, whos lived with a coercive and controlling father. She attempted suicide. I tried to take my own life because i thought if ijust get the blame for everything, then why dont i remove myself from the situation . Tias Mental Health is now improving after months of focused support. I think ive come quite a long way because i wouldnt have imagined myself to be where i am now. But this specialist help is rare and natasha believes that many thousands of children are still struggling alone. Just like carl, all those years ago. If you could talk to the ten year old you were, what would you say to him . Oh, god, thats hard. Id tell him, you dont deserve this. I wouldnt be able to tell him anything else because he wouldnt have anything else. He would have nowhere to go. And its not his fault. That report from jeremy cooke. There are details of organisations offering information and support on Domestic Violence, available on our website. Thats at bbc. Co. Uk actionline, or you can call for free, at any time, to hear recorded information on 0800 888 809. Manchester United Football Club have accused the Sun Newspaper of receiving advance notice of an attack on the home in cheshire of its executive vice chairman ed woodward. The club has filed a complaint about an article last month to the press regulator. The paper has rejected the allegations and said at no time was its reporter made aware of what was to take place at the home of mr woodward. Britains ambassador to the united nations, dame karen pierce, has been appointed the new ambassador to america. Shes the first woman to hold the post. Dame karen replaces sir kim darroch, who was forced to resign last year, after his private comments about President Trump were leaked to the media. The tv presenter Phillip Schofield has revealed hes gay. Hes been married for almost 27 years and has two daughters, and decided to go public on social media, as well as being interviewed on the itv show this morning. The presenter, whos 57, says his sexuality had become an issue in his head and he needed to be honest with himself. Heres our lgbt correspondent ben hunte. Live on morning television, Phillip Schofield is used to sitting and listening to other people, but, today, he became the story. First, a Statement Read by his co host. With the strength and support of my wife and my daughters, ive been coming to terms with the fact that i am gay. Every person i tell, it gets a little lighter and a little lighter, but, at the same time, you know, i have made this decision, which is essential for me and essential for my head. Support flooded social media. Ant and dec said. Dermot 0leary said he sends love. Philip schofield began his career at childrens bbc. He quickly became a household name. He starred asjoseph in the west end and he remains one of the most recognisable faces on british tv, presenting several programmes like dancing on ice and this morning, filmed at television centre. Some people are questioning why this matters. Well, this is an important moment for lgbt people. Foi someone as famous as Philip Schofield to come out and immediately receive such support from his colleagues here and elsewhere shows the amount of progress that has been made in just a few decades. However, not everyones coming out experience will be as positive. The Lgbt Foundation in manchester says older people face particular challenges. They have memories of a time when being lgbt wasnt spoken about, or a time when homosexuality was illegal, for example, so i think theres the culture that has now changed, thankfully, but there is kind of the hangover from that and the stigma that people still feel around it. So why did he decide that this was the right time . I was getting to the point where i knew i wasnt honest with myself. I was getting to the point where i didnt like myself very much because i wasnt being honest with myself. And, so, you know, when is the right time . When is the right time to do it . A very personal announcement and campaigners hope that this moment may help others struggling to come to terms with their own identities. Ben hunte, bbc news. Hollywood is preparing for the film industrys biggest night of the year, the oscars on sunday. But like other award ceremonies this season, its facing criticism for failing to recognise people of colour. Among the omissions is the director of the acclaimed film harriet, a biography of harriet tubman, who helped free hundreds of slaves in the american south. 0ur arts editor Will Gompertz has been to meet the director, kasi lemmons. God was watching but my feet was my own. Running, bleeding, climbing, nearly drowned. Nothing to eat for days and days but i made it. I thinkjust having a black woman in the title role has been challenging, you know, for hollywood, you know. You be ready. But why is it challenging . I think that just believing that women in leading roles, women, not to mention black women, can be. Can really be a box office draw, a woman led picture, you know, can make money at the box office and be successful. The film harriet did just that, although it did take a very long time for the movie about the famous 19th century abolitionist to get made. In hollywood, i learned that, actually, people are frightened easily. Intimidated is the word i should use. People are very intimidated of black women. I need thoughts here, its almost like, i need ideas. Would you say hollywood is intrinsically racist and sexist . Well, yeah, of course, i mean, we have to look at it, its very provable. I think people are unconsciously racist. Just hold on. And suck in. A feeling that hollywood perpetuates racial stereotypes goes back a long way, with classics such as gone with the wind caricaturing a black woman as a deferential domestic servant, known as mammy. So she would often be this sassy black woman with a kind of broken vernacular, so a lot of honey child and things like that. Hattie mcdaniel won an oscar for her performance. That was 80 years ago. Cynthia erivo could win for playing harriet on sunday at an Academy Awards where shes the only person of colour to be nominated in the acting categories. Its embarrassing, you know . Hollywood, that is supposed to be, you know, this is our dreams, this is our best self, this is our most aspirational self that we are presenting and, hopefully, related to who we really are in the time capsule of this moment, so its bizarre, its weird and its embarrassing. It does take time to change but the feeling here as we approach sundays Academy Awards is, for the oscars, that time really is up. Will gompertz, bbc news, los angeles. Thats all from us. Now on bbc one, its time for the news where you are. Have a very good night. Hello and welcome to sportsday im chetan pathak, coming up on the programme rugbys oldest trophy is upforgrabs. The six nations hots up as scotland take on england in the calcutta cup scotland were beaten by ireland last time out now Andy Farrells men take on the defending champions wales and heather dart almost pulls off the great escape but Great Britain are left with it all to do in their fed cup qualifier against slovakia. Welcome to the programme, thanks forjoining us. First then to the oldest International Rugby rivalry in the world. England versus scotlands created plenty of legendary and controversial moments since the calcutta cup was first handed to the winner in the 1870s. Tomorrows game at murrayfield is expected to be as stormy as ever, on and off the pitch with the weather thats been forecast. Here are the thoughts of both coaches scotla nd scotland is always a difficult opponent. Just look at the history of the game. The tray to two things that will make sure were on their game. They got the results. Did they do anything in particular to get underneath the players skin . You know there was a incident in the tunnel stop you will be designed to make sure we do not get distracted by those things. Easier said than done, yeah. Yet to be focused. What is so different from murray field . think the six nations, that is one of the great allures of the competition that is so hard to win away from home and you saw on sunday, 80,000 people, i have never seen such a passionate french cloud, they have not been there since 2001 and they were full of expectations, passionate about their team and an unbelievable atmosphere. We can beat anyone, new zealand, couple years ago as well and theres a huge amount of talent within the squad and if we can get there, and take every opportunity, we are very much looking forward to it. Both wales and irelands new coaches will be looking to continue their winning starts to the six nations. After 13 years of warren gatland, wayne pivac is in charge of the welsh and, whilst they had a convincing win over italy he expects their match against ireland tomorrow to be the biggest test of his coaching career. Wales are the holders of course and eased past italy by 42 points to nil last week but theyre in dublin tomorrow where they havent beaten ireland in the six nations for eight years. It will be a massive step up and very fortu nate it will be a massive step up and very fortunate in this game to learn a few things out and weve got into a few things out and weve got into a competition match and now we go up against much sterner challenges in the backyard, so i think it is built nicely and it will be a real test to see where we are at and how much we have got to do in order to play the game a trademark of the irish team is to be physically dominant and i thought la st be physically dominant and i thought last week we were not as consistent as we usually are that aspect of the game and we never quit to step it up and make sure that we just keep putting pressure on the team for dominance. Two mouthwatering matches tomorrow then. 0ur reporter Sarah Mulkerrins is in edinburgh ahead of the battle
