Visitors are being told to isolate themselves in hotel rooms or go to government run centres while returning hong kong residents have been ordered to stay inside their homes. But the whole idea is really for this person to stay at home and not to go out in case they carry any virus, it will not be transmitted to the rest of the community.

Pressure is mounting on the Prime Minister over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms giant huawei to be involved in uks 5g network. Four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps asking those with concerns to speak up. Yesterday the us Vice President mike pence described the decision to include huawei in the network as disappointing. The government insists the move followed a rigorous review. Voters in ireland go to the polls today in a general election, the first one ever held there on a saturday. Prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations and to make it easierfor students and those working away from home to vote. Residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. More than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday, thats more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. The Home Office Said that five inflatable boats had been stopped. A third of Board Members in the uks top 100 companies are women, according to the department for business. Thats up by more than 10 compared to a decade ago. The business secretary Andrea Leadsom says the target has been reached ahead of schedule, but more still needs to be done. Business correspondent katy austin reports. My my name is francesca st thomas and i sit on the boards of several companies, including air france, fnc investment trust. Even with francescas background as a successful business leader, getting her those boardroom position is tough. Its an area where men still often hugely outnumber women. Change is painful. Theres a huge value attributed to chemistry on the board, and of course, chemistry, you have mainly with people like you. She says boards who dont have enough women are putting themselves ata enough women are putting themselves at a disadvantage. Basically it doesnt reflect your customer base, it doesnt affect the society at large, it doesnt reflect your staff. The government has backed voluntary targets to increase the representation of women on the boards of the biggest listed companies in the country to 33 , or one in three, by the end of this year. Its february and that target has now been achieved for the top 100 companies not yet for the next 250, and its farfrom job done. 100 companies not yet for the next 250, and its far from job doneli think 33 is a very good start, but as we can see, and we know there are still many issues in the workplace to address, and we have a lot farther to go before we see really good gender balance in the leadership of business. Francesca welcomes the latest boardroom target being hit, but she worries getting enough women at the top table remains a long way off. Katy austin, bbc news. The chinese authorities are undertaking forcibly detaining people who they suspect of having the coronavirus. China correspondent Stephen Mcdonelljoins us from beijing. We have seen some of those images this morning and this seems like a different approach from the authorities, tell us a little more. They are getting more desperate in terms of looking for ways to slow the spread of the virus, as the numbers go up of the dead and of the infected. More strict provisions are being called for. People will note when the death toll goes past sars, this is the 2003 outbreak, it will bea this is the 2003 outbreak, it will be a kind of symbolic moment. In the early stages, we just couldnt have imagined it would have gone past this, and yet we are still in the early months of the coronavirus outbreak. Sars took seven months to pass 700 deaths. Well, now, its only taken a couple of months for this virus to reach that stage. Theres a lot of debate as to whether or not the rate at which people are dying compared to becoming ill is as bad as sars, but either way, it doesnt matter because if so many people, many tens of thousands of people, are contracting this coronavirus, then i think. It doesnt sort of matter statistically whether as many people asa statistically whether as many people as a proportion of those who have this virus die or not. I should add that the news has come in today that an american and japanese citizen are now amongst the dead. There was a japanese man who was sent to hospital with the coronavirus, contracted pneumonia, and has died. According to the us embassy, a us citizen who was in wuhan, the city where the outbreak started, has also died. It will become more of a global problem as the disease spreads. Scientists are worried that chinese officials are only picking up chinese officials are only picking up some. Potentially a 10th of those infected. If thats the case, there are estimates of 50,000 more People Per Day just in there are estimates of 50,000 more People Per Dayjust in Hubei Province are becoming infected. So we are a long way from this all being sorted out, a long way from it plateauing, it seems. Stephen, just a thought in connection with those pictures we we re connection with those pictures we were showing a moment ago, the authorities coming in and taking them from their homes, it appears. The whole principle of containment, its all about people agreeing to do what the authorities asked them to do. If you like, self containment. You are yourself staying. I saw your charging across your sofa. Youre in the same situation, it is all about people sticking to the rules and staying where they said they would. It does, but in various places they are making it more strict than the voluntary provision. For example, in hong kong, there are threats of prison time for people that dont stick to that quarantine. Anybody from that city returning to anywhere in Mainland China from hong kong now has to go into quarantine at home. Foreigners have to go into at home. Foreigners have to go into a hotel or a special government run facility. Like i say, they are threatening prison terms for people who break that quarantine. 0n the one hand, i think most people are more than happy to go along with this because they also want to stop this because they also want to stop this virus emergency from spreading in various cities in china. More and more strict provisions are being put in place to make sure people do in fa ct in place to make sure people do in fact stick to them. Stephen, i have to ask, because people will ask, thes name and is the cat keeping usain in the circumstances you are in . Two cats in fact, one koala and one kangaroo, as inan or living in beijing and they are kind of keeping me relatively sane as im an aussie. I have two days to go until liberation and then i can get out yes good to talk to you, stephen, thanks very much. I like their names, koala and kangaroo, great facebooks social media accounts were hacked overnight by activists claiming they want to show flaws in cyber security. A group which calls itself 0ur mine targeted the firms twitter and instagram feeds and posted messages saying that even facebook is hackable. The accounts have now been restored. It follows a similar attack on teams in Americas National Football League last month. A record High Temperature has been logged on the continent of antarctica. A reading of 18. 3 degrees celsius beat the previous record by almost a degree. Antarcticas peninsula, the area that points towards south america, is one of the fastest warming places on earth, heating by almost three degrees over the past 50 years. 6 13am is the time. Lets take a look at todays front pages. The times reports that the Prime Minister borisjohnson will use a new law to clip the wings of nhs chiefs as he attempts to exert more control over the Health Service. The picture is a Border Force Patrol picking up migrants in dover yesterday, it mentioned more than 100 were intercepted in the channel, a record, 102. Big bank booking thats how the daily mail describes the duke and duchess of sussexs first private appearance since stepping back as senior royals. The couple attended an event held by the investment bankjpmorgan in miami. Like many papers this morning, the daily record is leading on Phillip Schofields announcement that hes gay. The record quotes the tv stars mum, who says she couldnt be more proud of him. And online, the New York Times says the death of the chinese doctor li wenliang, whose warnings about the coronavirus were silenced, has become what the paper calls a potent symbol of beijings failures. Heres Sarah Keith Lucas with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning. The picture behind you, should i assume this is a warning of what could happen . You could indeed. We are likely to see scenes like this through the course of the weekend. We have got storm shower or approaching. That will bring some disruptive weather. The winds will be picking up today but it is tomorrow we will see the really strong winds across the country. We have an amber warning in force from the met office for severe gales in the met office for severe gales in the south east of england. But wherever you are you will be experiencing some pretty disrupt the weather. Power cuts are possible, large waves around the coast, heavy rain and very strong winds. The satellite image shows storm shower 01 satellite image shows storm shower or out in the atlantic. It has brought Severe Weather to the north east. It is pushing towards the shores. It has brought rain overnight, lingering towards the south east of the moment. That should clear over the next couple of hours. Quite a lot of dry weather out there today with sunshine, gales developing across Northern Ireland and scotland later today, the arrival heavy rain later on. Further east across scotland and for much of england and wales dry weather, it will turn quite breezy, reasonably mild, temperatures 5 11 out there today. It is later this afternoon into the evening that we see when strengthening further. 60 70 mile per hour dusts across Northern Ireland and scotland. Heavy rain working south east was across the uk. As storm shower or arrives during the early hours of sunday morning. The winds will be really strong. A mild start your sunday morning. We are going to be seeing the effects of the strong winds and heavy rain. You can see lots of isobars as the store moves from west to east. This cold front is where we will see some of the strongest winds and heaviest rain. Gusts of wind tomorrow, many seeing 60 70 mph even inland. Around coasts and inland, 70 to 80 mph. We start off across the northern half of the uk. When our mounting snowfall scotland and Northern Ireland, that should clear to leave sunshine and showers through the day tomorrow full up that will bring hail and thunder and very strong winds. Through the central belts we could see gusts up to 80 mph. Further south across the uk we have spells of heavy rain working slowly south east words. 0n this cold front, this line of showers through the afternoon across england and wales that is where we will see the strongest winds. Really heavy showers, hail and thunder possible. Disruptive weather down to storm ciara, right across the uk. Severe gales tomorrow. Transport likely to be disrupted and the potential for power cuts as well. It is not moving out of the way in a hurry. Looking towards monday and tuesday we have a deep area of low pressure bringing windy conditions, not as windy on monday and tuesday compared to sunday. Plenty more showers, snow showers in the north, particularly over higher ground. Whats going on in the forecast over the next few days. Is it pretty established our storm ciara is going to move or will it be changeable . You say keep in touch with the local as well as National Updates from the met office. We have been forecasting storm ciara for several days now. All the computer models are in good agreement it will move across the uk. Where we see the strongest of the winds, that is questionable. Probably around the coasts and hills. Big large waves as well if you are close to the coast. We are fairly certain, it has been well for custom warnings have been out for several days. But do keep in touch with the latest forecast and local radio stations will tell you of disruption in yourarea. In your area. Ok, thank you very much. Its time now for the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. So, mark, what do we have this week . Exciting week. We have birds of prey, which is the new harley quinn film. We have dolittle, he can talk to the animals, this time with a welsh accent. And parasite, the International Hit from bong joon ho. Quite a mixture. It really is. Birds of prey and the fantabulous emancipation of harley quinn. It follows up on suicide squad, which was a complete mess, and it is much better than its predecessor. Margot robbie steps out on her own and at the beginning, she is broken up withjoker and she blows up the Chemical Plant in which they sealed their love. She is newly employed by a slimeball played by Ewan Mcgregor and she finds herself in a centre of a Roller Coaster ride of a plot which involves a stolen diamond, a teenage thief, and a growing band of lethal women who have become targets. Here is a clip. Theyre all here for me. Arent they . No. Theyre not . No, theyre not. Do you know what that means . That means hes notjust after the kid any more, hes after all of us. Hes sure as hell after me, ijust robbed him. You just betrayed him. You just killed his bff and youre dumb enough to be building a case against him. So, unless we all want to die very unpleasant deaths, were going to have to work together. 0k. Yeah, 0k. Sure. The best thing about this is, firstly, it does have a genuinely entertaining anarchic air. Apparently when Margot Robbie was First Talking about it, she said she wanted it to be like an r rated girl gang movie and thats the vibe it has. Its very physical and has a sense of controlled chaos, which i really like. Directed by independent movie director, cathy yan, an edgy sensibility. The location, you can see here, it looks like a fairground ride in which theres been an explosion of a candy floss maker. It barrels along, it is funny and the characters are well drawn and well defined. It is easy to get this wrong. In other hands, this could have turned into batman and robin, which was just a dress up pantomime mess of a movie, but this is actually as much fun watching the film as it is looking at the poster and watching the trailer. And i was really pleasantly surprised because i had gone in thinking, i hope this is good but i expect it wont be and it was. It was much but i had any right to expect. Its fun . Its good fun and it genuinely has a kind of sense of chaos at the heart of it, which is what you need for the character of harley quinn and they pull that off rather well. 0k. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of dolittle. I felt that coming the latest screen incarnation of dr dolittle, he can talk to the animals. Partly of the problem with this is robert downeer now doing dolittle has decided to do the most bizarre welsh accent for the central character. Apparently, he discovered some juridical pagan welsh figure upon whom he decided to base the character. Its not a welsh accent the likes of which ive ever heard before. If you remember Russell Crowes roving accent when he was doing robin hood, it makes that look like the most precise accent youve ever heard. It looks like the whole film appears to have been redubbed, this is the better version. We also know they did three weeks of re shoots after the first version of the film wasnt deemed to be funny enough, this is the version of the film thats had three weeks of making it funnier . itjust lies there in the cinema like a dead fish. Its ugly, its badly written, its played by a cast of characters all of whom who should have far Better Things to do than be in this mess of a movie. As somebody pointed out to me, they said the rex harrison flopped when it first came out. But this isnt the rex harrison, isnt it . I think its on course to, what is the phrase, underperform at the box office. Underperform i do wish you would say what you really thought shall we talk about parasite . We both loved it. Immediately we have seen it and we need to be careful about what we say about it. Yes, we are doing no plot spoilers. The less you know about it, the better it is. A new movie by bong joon ho come up for several awards and we would have seen it at the baftas and it will feature at the oscars. It isa it is a tale of two families. The park family, who live in this unbelievably angular, modern and classy bright lit built in, high above seoul. And the otherfamily, the kims, living this hand to mouth existence in this semi basement literally in the very bottom of the hill down which all the rubbish falls. They are weirdly a mirrored family but we first meet the family in the semi basementjust attempting to get by. Heres the clip. So theyre living almost underground and the son gets a job working in the house on the hill and the two families meet and these kind of mirror images meet. That is all you want to say about the plot. People have talked about it being like hitchcockian but it is almost shakespearian because it combines tragedy, mystery, metaphysics, and drama. There are moments that have the melancholy heart tugging power of a ghost story and moments which are almost slapstick. Yes. And moments which make you cast with the revelation of the plot twist. It is designed beautifully. I mean, the storytelling is so visual. Even if you watch this without the subtitles, you could understand the story from the way in which the camera moves from different locations. The music, which really brilliantly captures all these different shifting tones it starts with this sombre piano piece orchestral piece and then there is a weird bit which is correct vocals and a musical saw, these elements that should be fighting somehow come together in this perfectly harmonious. Ive seen this four times now oh wow every time i see it, i notice things that i havent seen before and i love it. I think it is as near perfect as any film ive seen in the last decade, i want to see it again. Bong has now prepared a Black And White version which played at rotterdam and hopefully it will play here. The most important thing to say, go see it without reading or hearing any more about it. Dont let anybody spoil the plot or anybody say to you, theres this brilliant bit when. If they do, run away yes. Did you love it . I did not see that but coming that we want to talk about and i thought it was so clever did you like the film . I loved it. Im not good with violence, there are a couple of moments when im a bit like that, but on balance, i loved it and i thought it had masses to say about class and money and was beautifully shot. And if you know bongs back catalogue. Snowpiercer, obviously but come memories, he is good at depicting stratified social groups. I also think the cast, across the board, an ensemble cast, this is what you need an award for best ensemble cast, you cant pick out individual performances. It is an ensemble cast and it is like watching a swiss watch work. I love this film. I love this film, i think it is fantastic and everybody should see it. Best out another film you like as well . David copperfield. I am more keen than you are but the cast. I enjoyed it and great ensemble cast. Fantastic ensemble cast. And a modern adaptation a classic text that found things in it that i hadnt seen in previous adaptations. Absolutely loved it pieces. Dvd is a great one to watch at home. I think its terrific. Judy. Renee zellweger is storming the awards at the moment. I am slightly more ambivalent about this meant some people, but i think she looks like a dead cert lead contender at the oscars. She was at the baftas. My favourite part of this film is the fans who meet her. And its through their eyes that you actually see the magic ofjudy garland. I lovejudy garland and i was more convinced by the fans reaction. Were you . I was iwasa i was a little bit. Thats just me. I think she is terrific. I found it incredibly sad, beautiful and sad in equal measure. Yeah. Flawed. Ive entered this on a dull note. That is sad. But parasite is great go and see parasite it is a great film, see it. Enjoy your cinema going, see you next time, goodbye. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Good morning, heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news video footage has emerged from china which appears to show officials forcibly rounding up people suspected of having the coronavirus. Multiple unverified videos, like this one, show the so called quarantine squads at work. More than 700 people have now died as a result of the virus, with more than 311,000 infected. Pressure is mounting on the Prime Minister over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms giant huawei to be involved in uks 5g network. Four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps asking those with concerns to speak up. Yesterday the us Vice President mike pence described the decision to include huawei in the network as disappointing. The government insists the move followed a rigorous review. Voters in ireland go to the polls today in a general election, the first one ever held there on a saturday. Prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations and to make it easierfor students and those working away from home to vote. Residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. More than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday, thats more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. The Home Office Said that five inflatable boats had been stopped. Fitness guru joe wicks will be reading the cbeebies bedtime story on valentines day, its been announced. The father of two, known as the body coach, will read love monster and the perfect present by rachel bright. He follows in the footsteps of stars including dolly parton, Orlando Bloom and sir eltonjohn to read a story on the channel. The names. The picture isnt helping very much but the names who have read stories on cbeebies are amazing i remember a have read stories on cbeebies are amazing i remembera while have read stories on cbeebies are amazing i remember a while ago i interviewed Robbie Williams and immediately after the interview he was going to do the christmas story that he was going to read, and he was so excited. He was really up for it. People get really excited about it. People get really excited about it. A great idea. It is. Bedtime story, but a valentines day for little kids . Yeah. I dont understand the valentines day bit but the notion of those big names reading stories, it is lovely m would be fun to do. Quite a soothing voice i dont want to say you would put me to sleep, charlie. You just did say that im with you, he has a very, very good voice for that. Take us away from the calm and give us a bit of action, give us a storm, give us something coming our way, whats happening . Storm ciara is going to hit the six nations today but what we are talking about is all the home nations in action against each other. This is a huge day, doesnt happen very often like this. Scotland against england and then wales against ireland. Wales are the reigning champions but they havent won in dublin since 2012. The match against england and scotland has got against england and scotland has got a bit spicy over the recent week. Its the oldest contest in rugby, the calcutta cup, and today the venue is murrayfield in edinburgh. Weve had the usual war of words between the two camps, and england boss eddiejones is well known for getting involved. More than that, as he told sonja mclaughlan, he believes its his duty. I think as a head coach, youve got a responsibility. Like, its easy not to say anything. Sure. I understand. But i think youve got a responsibility to create the theatre of the game, to paint a picture of how you want your players to play, and sometimes paint a picture to the opposition. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Scotland have held the trophy for the past two years after beating england at murrayfield in 2018 and coming away from twickenham with a draw last year, but the playersjust try to keep out of the pre match mind games. My myjob is to concentrate on making sure that im getting my performance spot on, but also making sure that the team are switched on and were here the right reasons. Were not listening to what everybody else has got to say, we are concentrating on what happens within the four walls of our changing room and making sure were focused and for whats coming our way. Before that game kicks off this evening, ireland host reigning champions wales in dublin. After winning their opening games last weekend, the grand slam is still on for both sides, but ireland know that theyll have to improve on their performance last weekend when theyjust about got over the line against scotland. Its its been a trademark of the irish tea m its been a trademark of the irish team over the last few years, to be physically dominant, and i thought last week we had in part, probably wont as consistent as we usually are in that aspect of the game. Look, we know were going to have to step it up a little bit this week and find that consistency so we dont let teams off the hook, and just keep putting pressure on in terms of dominance. Theyre a very, very physical team and if you let them get on the front foot, theyre very, very dangerous so foot, theyre very, very dangerous so weve got to be very careful about the areas we play in and make sure that we match that physicality thats obviously going to be there. We no, its not an easy place to go, the record speaks for itself there, so the record speaks for itself there, so its going to be a big challenge but we certainly have to front up physically and make sure we play at the right ends of the field. Wales and ireland have something in common matt comyn. Something in common. Both sides have a new head coach, we heard from wayne pivac there, lets look now at irelands andy farrell, father of england captain 0wen farrell, who has the top job for the first time in his career. Austin halewood went to meet some of his former colleagues, to see what makes him special. Commentator and Andy Farrells ireland are up and running. The start all coaches dream of, those match, those when. 2019 was a year to forget for irish rugby, but now andy farrell is the man tasked with taking them back to the very top. But Andy Farrells journey back top. But Andy Farrells journey back to dublin and lansdowne road started across the irish sea here in wigan at 0rrell St James Park is a across the irish sea here in wigan at 0rrell stjames park is a junior playing rugby league. He came down, did one Training Session and then we played a game against another local team where he scored two tries and kicked about six goals, including one near enough of the touchline. He was ten. He was doing things at 11 or 12 that other kids couldnt do at 15 or 16. And from a young prospect, farrell became a Rugby League Legend at wigan warriors. After making his debut at 16, he went on to win six championships and four challenge cups with his hometown club. He even captained Great Britain at 21. He was always trying to improve eve ryo ne he was always trying to improve everyone and himself, he hated losing but he was always a serious person when he was talking about by person when he was talking about rugby league and how to improve the team. Likei rugby league and how to improve the team. Like i said, he was really strong. Had a strong voice but i think his biggest asset was his ability to get people up to play in the big games as we did. From age group rugby to the big games as we did. From agegroup rugby to captaining the big games as we did. From age group rugby to captaining his country, farrell has always been a winner and now a whole new nation will be desperate for him to do it all over again. Austin halewood, bbc news. A great day of rugby to look forward to. Commentary on ireland against wales is on radio5 live. Kick off at 2 15pm, with scotland v england live on bbc1 and the bbc sport website. Thats at 4 45pm. Saracens have escaped with a fine after admitting they fielded an inelgible player in the champions cup, they could have been given a points deduction, which would have sent them out of the competition. They are out of the Premiership Rugby cup, though, after losing 28 7 to sale sharks in the semi finals. Sale scored three quick fire tries in the first half to do the damage. Theyll play harlequins in next months final. Israel folau wont be making his super league debut for catalans dragons against wakefield tomorrow, not because of the controversy surrounding his signing, but because hes not match ready. Last night, castleford beat wigan 16 12 and Danny Houghton marked his 350th appearance for hull fc with a try, as they won the derby against hull kr by 25 16. Great britain have a job on their hands to reach the fed cup finals. They 2 0 down to slovakia in bratislava after Heather Watson lost the opening singles, and harriet dart saved five match points before she was beaten in a really tight three setter by viktoria kuzmova. Its a best of five tie, so britain need to win both reverse singles and the doubles today, to go through, and you can watch it on the bbc sport website and app. Bristol city missed the chance to go third in the championship after losing 3 1 to birmingham city. Bristol city actually took the lead afterjust a0 seconds, when 16 year old jud bellinghams cross resulted in an own goal. But birmingham recovered, Lukas Jutkiewicz wrapping up victory in injury time. Englands cricketers have to win the final one Day International against south Africa Tomorrow to avoid a series defeat after the second match in durban had to be abandonded due to persistent rain.

Busy day ahead, we will talk more about the rugby later, we will be live in murrayfield, edinburgh, and the aviva er stadium in dublin. And well see how the weather goes as well.

See you later. Earlier this week we talked to members of chinese communities in north west england and they told us about some of the discrimination theyve been facing because people are linking them to the coronavirus. That story isnt unique and other chinese communities in the uk 5000 miles away from the outbreak are still facing fear and suspicion. Fiona lamdin has been to bristol to find out more. This supermarket in the centre of bristol has been serving the Chinese Community here for four decades, but its owners say since the outbreak of the Coronavirus Business has been slow. Fewer people, take a ways are quieter, so theyre not coming out to buy their goods for their restau ra nts a nd to buy their goods for their restaurants and things. So its definitely more quiet than usual. 0ne definitely more quiet than usual. One of their loyal customers is nizang. Hand his family have lived in bristol for 1h years. He hasnt been back to china for four. Our main concern isnt the virus itself, its how weve been treated. Discrimination against the whole asian is my main concern. I have got two children and their both at school age, and theyve been reported at their school. Some asian children have been called coronavirus lady, you should go back to your country. Ive got core agencies and friends and theyve been showing their experiences how people are not wanting to sit next to them on public transport, packed train, but there are gaps on either side of them and people see them pulling up their collars and stuff like that. Its. People shouldnt feel ostracised just because they look east asian cup. There are 4000 chinese living in bristol. 200 go to chinese living in bristol. 200 go to Chinese Church here. But as of last sunday, theyre encouraging vulnerable worshippers to stay at home and join in online. The younger kids and probably the elderly, they are very prone to getting the virus as well, so on the precaution side, we want them to be able to enjoy the service in a safe environment. Was there a drop in congregation . There was a drop in number but still around two thirds of the congregation came. Its of the congregation came. Its not just in of the congregation came. Its notjust in bristol. In yorkshire, students have reported being singled out for abuse. 0ne Community Worker in sheffield says shes been contacted by many students. I had students. Ihada students. I had a report sent to me on thursday evening about a girl walking down west street wearing a mask that was insulted, nudged and comments made to her about why she was wearing a mask. And attractions across cumbria that rely on tourism have struggled since the outbreak. This spa in the Lake District is suffering. Normally filled with chinese visitors, many of the groups have cancelled. There are cancellations or some groups that arent materialising. There are actually still groups from china being booked in, but further into the year. Nobody as far as i know is aware of when the coronavirus will be contained. The coronavirus will be contained. The coronavirus has affected thousands, closed borders and put parts of china in lockdown. 5000 miles away in the uk, communities are feeling the effects. Fiona lamdin, bbc news. 0ne one of our lead stories this morning is the latest situation in china. We are seeing people being forced out of their homes suspected of having the virus. Will have more on that with our correspondent in china later this morning. We were talking about the rugby earlier. People will be thinking about how the weather will affect the games, but importantly, people need to be careful this weekend, dont they . Thats right, good morning to you. Storm ciara is very much on the way. It could turn out to be one of the worst times we have seen in about seven worst times we have seen in about seve n yea rs worst times we have seen in about seven years in terms of the strength of the wind and how far south those are strong winds are going to be. We have got an amber warning that has been issued by the met office for the severe gales. Very strong winds, prickly across the south east of england where we could see gusts of 80 mph. Widely right across the uk we will be seeing disruptive weather through the course of the weekend. The wind is picking up today, but it is tomorrow where we will see the strongest of the wind and a fair bit of disruption as well. Storm ciara is out in the atlantic, it brought Severe Weather to the north east of the usa, that storm developing, driven on by really strong jet stream. As it develops, heads towards our shores, the winds will be picking up. We have had a weather front that brought a bit of rain overnight, that will clear away from the south east of the next few hours. Today, quite a lot of dry weather out there. Does developing across Northern Ireland and scotland late in the day stop as well as some really heavy rain pushing in. Perhaps no the higher highest going to scotland. For the east of scotla nd to scotland. For the east of scotland and much of england and wales, a lot of dry weather. Temperatures 5 11 degrees. It will turn breezy today wherever you are, particularly when it was the north west, gusts 60 70 mph for scotla nd north west, gusts 60 70 mph for scotland and Northern Ireland. Through the evening and overnight thatis through the evening and overnight that is where we see things turning particularly lively. Storm ciara putting in from the west. A wet and windy start to sunday morning across the board. It will be mild, frost free to start the day, but you will certainly notice the strength of the wind and they will strengthen further through the day. You can see the proximity of these i showing how windy it will be, particularly strong gusty winds on this cold front as it works eastwards. And around the southern edge of the area of low pressure. These are the likely gusts of wind we will see tomorrow, widely 60 70 mph, even inland, around the hills and coast, 80 mile per hour gusts, even through the English Channel. That is fairly unusual. We will see heavy rain and mountain snow across scotland and Northern Ireland. The rain clearly clearing kick sungshan shall throughout the day tomorrow. Strong winds, gusts about 80 mph, even through the central belt through the afternoon tomorrow. Further south across the uk, we start off with heavy bus of rain. Could be hail and thunder, particularly on this line here, the green colour showing the heaviest birth on the cold front. As it pushes south and east with across england and wales through the day tomorrow, bringing hail, thunder, squally gusts and winds, up to 80 mph. Enough to cause severe disruption courtesy of storm ciara tomorrow. Expect some disruption to transport, for instance, be trees down and power cuts are possible. Storm doesnt clear in a hurry. Have low pressure hanging on a monday and tuesday. Another windy spell of weather. Not quite as windy on monday and tuesday compared to sunday. It stays very unsettled with further heavy rain and some mountain snow across northern parts of the uk. Lots going on with the weather over the next couple of days. There is so much going on. Thank you so much. Its time now for the latest technology news, with click. La, la, la, la land. It is oscars weekend, time for hollywood to give itself a pat on the back, and time for the rest of us to be reminded there is a reason why the movie industry chose Southern California to live and film in. And with all of glamorous la to choose from, they put me ina box. In a warehouse. Although it is the coolest box i have been in for a while because, spoiler alert, i am not really in the box i am out here. And thats virtual me and it is called portl. The box itself is real, of course, and the lights inside provide the illumination for the modified human sized 4k lcd screen on the front. This can show pre recorded video or live images of some loon messing about in front of a camera. What am i doing over there though . Whats he doing . The same . Oh, yeah, of course. I must say, iam impressed. I figured out all these reasons why somebody might not want to do a hologram, and i eliminated those reasons. That is why we developed this. First things first, these are not holograms. You know what i think about the term hologram. But these are the most realistic not holograms i think i have ever seen. The key is that this part of the screen is transparent, so if the camera moves left and right you can see the background move behind the character and that really gives you a feeling that they are there and that this is a 3d image. A small piece of reflective floor and the shadow of the actor are also captured and sent to the booth, something that really adds to the realism. Send in the clownsto. With thejoker leading the oscar pack this weekend with 11 nominations, it is not hard to see how the right kind of character inside one of these devices could have a films Marketing Department going nuts. Id like to see every cardboard cut out standee in a lobby replaced with a hologram portl. I want to go to a museum and then hologram einstein asks me a question. We could beam the next president of the United States from his or her own Campaign Office into all 50 states at the same time. With the ability to hear, see and interact with the audience in real time. And david has another project on the go which is not live. Pretty much exactly the opposite, in fact. One of the most famous things about the hologram industry is bringing back the dead. Digital resurrections. Guys like 2pac, whitneyto. These are people who never gave their consent while they were alive but they have all become super famous holograms in death. And what we are doing is we filmed half a dozen of the worlds most famous icons while theyre alive, so they could do the performance that they want to do. They hold the microphone they want to, they sing the way they want to sing. It is not a body double and a cgi head, it is really them. Makes it less macabre and easier for the audience to get behind. And we have stuck them on a hard drive in a cupboard somewhere. And when the time comes we can access the content and send them on tour. And, actually, that idea is where we go next. Because there is currently a trend in resurrecting dead celebrities. The technology exists to put convincing cgi versions of actors into film. And its raising a lot of issues. Youre tearing me apart did you know that james dean only ever made three movies before his death in a car accident in 1955 . Did you also know that after his death his image rights have been handled by mark rosler at cmg worldwide. A boy, a kid was killed tonight his memory, his image, his values still resonate with young people around the world, struggling to understand themselves as teenagers, and the rebel personality of james dean. So its always been important for the family that future generations remember who james dean was. Managing the Business Affairs of dead celebrities may sound unusual, but it means that their estates get royalties from any paraphernalia that features their faces. And these days, that does notjust mean mugs. We essentially want to bring james dean back so that he is an option for storytellers and for content creators to use him for traditional film, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, spatial computing, gaming, music, branded content. And the first james dean project will see a virtual version of this screen icon co star in a vietnam war film called finding jack. So our intention is to put together a 3d virtualjames dean using all the historical data, images and pictures and video that we have had over the course of the last 64 years. We have watched motion and facial capture Technology Mature over the last 15 years or so, and it is now completely possible to capture an actors performance and map their movements and expressions onto a different digital being. It has created monsters. It made Robert De Niro and will smith young again, and it has even allowed a films production to continue after its stars untimely death. But the james dean project takes this idea to a different level. Using a celebritys likeness not because the story demands it, but because some dead celebrities are bankable. It is not like you are creating a brand new virtual being from scratch where you have to spend ample amount of capital to create the awareness for him. People know james dean. He is an icon. But this is much more thanjust blending old existing footage into new scenes. This needs to be a completely flexible, 3d, photorealistic, fully animatable, believable version of a person that can act in new scenes and deliver new dialogue. Previous attempts at cgi actors have been mixed and i wonder whether there is a certain quality threshold that you orjames deans estate has to insist on . 0ur expectations are very high. So the Virtual Assets that we create will evolve over time. This is not a one time and its perfect. It will evolve. So ourjames dean that we will release for this movie may be a little different than the james dean we release at a later date. But of course there is more to an actor than just their face. That is just one part of the entire performance package. Unsurprisingly, some actors have themselves expressed their annoyance. Sometimes it is very easy to use a Digital Asset to promote what you were trying to get viewers to see, versus hiring actors to promote content. That costs additional capital. So basically youve said living actors, human actors are a bit of a pain, and you would rather work with avatars . To some extent. Laughs it is easy to work with deceased celebrities. 0h, jenny, you are so cute she is said to be the most realistic robotic animal, and i can tell you she feels pretty real. That nose almost feels wet and squidgy. And these dementia patients at las vegas Prestige Senior Living facility seem pleased to meet her. You are a good dog. She is awesome. You look real. Look at those teeth. Jim hensons creature shop is responsible for the lifelike look, feel, movements and behaviour that have been built on top of this sensor embedded voice controllable bot. There is a great deal of research on the benefits of live animal therapy for seniors with dementia. It helps soothe behavioural and psychological symptoms and reduces the need for certain medications. The problem is, many seniors can no longer safely care for or have a live animal around them. Its a dog i thought it was a real dog this is really quite a strange experience because the dog does almost feel real and sound real. And everybody seems to be feeling that. But is that right . There are people that, despite explaining to them that it is a robot, actually still believe that it is a real dog. Weve looked at that from an ethical perspective, and we are very concerned about not tricking them but on the other hand, you know, if it gives them comfort, that is really the goal. They like to suspend disbelief. They like to be able to relate to it as if it is a long lost pet that they may have known in an earlier time. I would like to have you. I would let you sleep in bed with me. And she could be solving a problem here that has already been identified. We started a while back, having dogs come into the community because we felt like the dogs were a method of helping with loneliness andto. What we found is that we have to pay just as much attention to the dogs as we do the human. She clearly did bring joy though and i can see the benefits of it being designed to sit on laps or raised surfaces rather than creating a tripping hazard on the floor. Other breeds and a cat are in development, but i was left with one real issueto. I feel really bad that we have to take her away from them. And that is it for the short cut of click in hollywood. The full version is up on iplayer and is waiting for you right now. If you would like to join us throughout the week, you know where we are, facebook, youtube, instagram and twitter at bbcclick. Thanks for watching and we will see you soon. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today growing anger in china as authorities forcibly detain people suspected of having the coronavirus. Thousands of passengers confined to their cabins onboard the diamond princess. More than 60 people are infected with the virus. Six senior conservative mps try to pressure borisjohnson into rethinking huaweis involvement in the uks 5g telecom networks. Good morning. A huge day in the six nations coming up, all the home sides in action, including rugbys oldest rivalry, the calcutta cup. Its scotland against england at murrayfield. Good morning. The weather is likely to cause disruption through the weekend as storm ciara is approaching. We got strong winds today across scotland and Northern Ireland, widely across the uk, disruptive winds tomorrow and large waves around the coast and heavy rainfall too. Ill have all your details through the programme. Its saturday the 8th of february. Our top story authorities in china have been forcibly rounding up people suspected of having the coronavirus. As other countries try to control the spread, a british honeymooner is among more than 60 people who have tested positive for the virus on board a cruise ship quarantined off the coast of japan. Greg mckenzie reports. As more and more cases of coronavirus are being reported, these unverified videos show chinese authorities at work. House to house searches, rounding up the sick. Its all adding to a growing sense of fear and dread. A child says, i dont want to be taken away like that. In hong kong, a mandatory two week quarantine has been ordered for anyone arriving from Mainland China. Visitors are being told to isolate themselves in hotel rooms or go to government run centres, while returning hong kong residents have been ordered to stay inside their homes. But the whole idea is really for this person to stay at home and not to go out in case they carry any virus, it will not be transmitted to the rest of the community. There have been more than 31,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Mainland China, with more than 716 deaths. 0utside china, at least 270 cases have been confirmed in at least 25 countries. There are three confirmed cases in the uk. A third patient caught coronavirus at a business conference in singapore. Hes currently being treated at St Thomas Hospital in central london. The two other uk cases are being treated at the royal victoria infirmary Infectious Diseases centre in newcastle. Just off the coast of japan, 61 people, including one British National, have tested positive for the virus on a cruise ship. Alan steele from wolverhampton, who was on his honeymoon with his wife, wendy, is among those to be taken away for hospital treatment. Tomorrow, at least 150 british citizens are expected to arrive back in the uk on the final Repatriation Flight coming in from wuhan. Theyll be taken to a training and Conference Venue on the outskirts of milton keynes. The Foreign Office is advising all British Nationals who are in china to leave the country if they can to reduce the risk of infection. Greg mckenzie, bbc news. Pressure is mounting on the Prime Minister borisjohnson over his decision to allow the chinese telecomms firm huawei to be involved in uks 5g network. Fourformer cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps, asking those with concerns to speak out. Lets get more on this from our Political Correspondent matt cole, who is in our london newsroom. Good morning, matt. Give us a sense of who these people are and why it matters. High there, charlie. Yes, ever since the government had to make this decision on which vendors to help build the next stage of the mobile network, the 5g network, there had been concerns about huawei being one of those providers. It is close to the Chinese Government and thats caused concern repeatedly in parliament, people speaking about not letting this dragon nest within our mobile system. Huawei has said its founder would rather shutdown the company than let china get involved in this network to spy on britain, but these are mps, four former cabinet ministers, plus the chair of the defence select, tobias ellwood, and another mp, bob seely, theyve written this letter saying theyve written this letter saying they want other mp5, if they have concerns, join them in looking for solutions to alternative providers to huawei. At the very list they wa nt to huawei. At the very list they want a sunset clause, a tapering off of the level of involvement of huawei in the mobile network. The government has said they will restrict huawei to only having 35 involvement and it wont be allowed at the very core of the mobile system, only the periphery, if you like. But these mps say they only wa nt to like. But these mps say they only want to trusted lenders. They point to others like ericsson and nokia, who have signed contracts in france, saying they should be the vendors people should be looking at, or lenders like them. They are concerned, they want mps to join them in expressing this concern and this is after we heard from us Vice President mike pence, saying he is profoundly disappointed that the uk government has decided to go ahead with the huawei involvement and he said it would have to be a question of wait and see as to weather this would impact a potential trade deal post brexit with the uk. Matt, for the moment, thank you. Voters in ireland go to the polls today in a general election, the first one ever held there on a saturday. Prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations, and to make it easierfor students and those working away from home to vote. Residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. More than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday, thats more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. The Home Office Said that five inflatable boats had been stopped. A third of Board Members in the uks top 100 companies are women, according to the department for business. Thats up by more than 10 compared to a decade ago. The business secretary Andrea Leadsom says the target has been reached ahead of schedule, but more still needs to be done. Our business correspondent, katy austin, reports. My name is francesca ecsery, and i sit on the boards of several companies, including air france, fnc investment trust. Even with francescas background as a successful business leader, getting her first boardroom position was tough. Its an area where often men still hugely outnumber women. Change is painful. Theres a huge value attributed to chemistry on the board, and, of course, chemistry, you have mainly with people like you. She says boards who dont have enough women are putting themselves at a disadvantage. Basically it doesnt reflect your customer base, it doesnt reflect the society at large, it doesnt reflect your staff. The government has backed voluntary targets to increase the representation of women on the boards of the biggest listed companies in the country to 33 , or one in three, by the end of this year. Its february and that target has now been achieved for the top 100 companies, but not yet for the next 250, and its farfrom job done. I think 33 is a very good start, but, as we can see, and we know there are still many issues in the workplace to address, and we have a lot farther to go before we see really good gender balance in the leadership of business. Francesca welcomes the latest boardroom target being hit, but she worries getting enough women at the top table remains a long way off. Katy austin, bbc news. Facebooks social media accounts were hacked overnight by activists claiming they want to show flaws in cyber security. A group, which calls itself 0ur mine, targeted the firms twitter and instagram feeds and posted messages saying that even facebook is hackable. The accounts have now been restored. It follows a similar attack on teams in Americas National Football League last month. A record High Temperature has been logged on the continent of antarctica. A reading of 18. 3 degrees celsius beat the previous record by almost a degree. Antarcticas peninsula, the area that points towards south america, is one of the fastest warming places on earth, heating by almost three degrees over the past 50 years. Its its almost inconceivable, isnt it, 18 degrees in antarctica, warmer than here. Extraordinary and the records clearly showing over a period of time it is dramatically increasing, and then you have these moments, individualtemperatures, which illustrate that so well. Talking of temperatures, sarah will have a weather update and she will bring us the latest on storm ciara. Lets return to that coronvirus story now, and the reports of chinese quanrantine squads forcibly removing people suspected of having the virus. China correspondent Stephen Mcdonell joins us from beijing. Good to you. You are in self imposed quarantine but whats clear is chinese authorities have adopted a different tactic that is being scrutinised . Yeah, i dont know if it is necessarily self imposed, weve been told to do it and im doing it. Certainly the bbc doesnt wa nt doing it. Certainly the bbc doesnt want me to go into the bureau where others are just want me to go into the bureau where others arejust in want me to go into the bureau where others are just in case i have the coronavirus, not that i have any symptoms, but this is the thing, there is a 14 day period from if you leave wuhan, if you leave the hubei province, anywhere in that province, youre supposed to isolate yourself. Now, from city to city, in china, theyre taking ever more strict measures and it is kind of being decided at a city level. So, in hong kong, for example, anyone from the mainland who goes into hong kong has to stay in quarantine for two weeks. Even a hong kong resident of that city must stay at home for two weeks. If youre a foreigner, youre supposed to stay in a hotel or a government provided facility. But right across china, people are being told, you know, to stay indoors. Offices are delaying reopening after the break. Same with factories. And although. Like, i havent had police come and visit me here and make sure im doing this. Certainly the government knows ive been doing this, and theyve been in touch, and theyve also been asking if my health is ok and if i am all right, but in shanghai, theyre a bit more strict on journalists there. Those returning from Hubei Province have been visited by the authorities and told not to leave. I forgot to mention that in hong kong, if you break those quarantine rules, it is potentially punishable with a prison term, so theyre taking a very strict, hardline there. Stephen, thanks very much. Stephen mcdonell talking to us from beijing. Weve seen some of the problems it is causing in Mainland China, potential danger for people visiting east asia and what are your rights if you choose to cancel . Travel journalist simon if you choose to cancel . Traveljournalist simon calder is with us this morning. Also paul hunter, assessor in Health Protection at the University East anglia. May well start with some of the basics in terms of the areas that we now know or affected. What do we know about the transition of the disease . The disease is spread by droplet spreads, we get them when we cough and sometimes when we are talking. The important thing about droplets is they dont go very far. Typically about a metre. Public Health England is saying two metres to give it that extra. From individual to individual, it has to be close proximity . Yes. Its be close proximity . Yes. Its interesting, because on the ship thats been quarantined off the coast of japan, we were talking to someone who is there and they say when they are out they have to stay one metre apart from everyone but its not practical if youre going on holiday, for example, and well talk to simon about the areas at risk and what people should be thinking about, but its not practical if youre in a busy city. Use a hong kong, but singapore, china. What should people be thinking about in terms of transmission . You say. I think most parts of places where people will be going, the risk is actually very low and the chances of actually. In a city of 10 million, 20 million, the chances of coming across someone who is at that time symptomatic and infectious is actually very low. There was some concern this disease might spread before people develop symptoms. There was a paper in a journal of medicine suggesting that was the case. Other people have said the authors of the original paper didnt check the index case, whether she was symptomatic, and when they did, she was. The evidence is at the moment that it doesnt spread before people get sick. So if people are well, there shouldnt be a particular risk. Simon, pick up on a couple of things for us. People will be making decisions about travelling and visiting family or whatever. Take us through the official situation and if you like the more anecdotal stuff about what people are doing. The main thing is, Mainland China, the Foreign Office this week strengthened its advice to say if you are there then get out now if you are there then get out now if you possibly can. Thats not actually because theyre really worried people are going to catch coronavirus, its more that if the chinese authorities continue to lockdown places, then that can put british people in difficulties. Everywhere else in the world, including hong kong and macau, there is no particular restriction. Obviously you need to be aware of coronavirus and follow all the usual health tips. So keep your hands and scrupulously clean and keep a distance from people you think might be old. But Stephen Mcdonell said when we we re but Stephen Mcdonell said when we were talking to him that in hong kong authorities are clamping down on anyone who may be symptomatic, and theyre taking this very seriously. Should travellers be concerned or mindful about this . If you are travelling from china to hong kong, overnight, they have restrictions, you have to yourself isolate for two weeks. The other thing happening in hong kong is the cruise industry, late yesterday, said anyone who has been in hong kong, even if you only transited through the airport, will not be allowed on a cruise ship for two weeks after they have been through hong kong. That is actually extremely inconvenient, and paul would say whether or not in the course of a two hour transit stop you might be. You want to pick up on that . We dont have the date of this outbreak at the moment. But we certainly know from sars and there we re certainly know from sars and there were episodes of infection in the sars outbreak, which is a very similarvirus, 20 sars outbreak, which is a very similar virus, 20 years ago, where people almost certainly picked up the infection while they were waiting to board aeroplanes. On an aeroplane the risk is pretty much the seat in front, your seed and the seatin the seat in front, your seed and the seat in front and the seat behind you, which is pretty much the one metre, but sometimes as you are queueing to board the plane, waiting in rooms, there is some evidence that that is a risk. So on the cruise ships, there has been a loss of four we have one florentine currently, 61 people, think, tested positive on that ship. Are they checking whose on board and where they have embark from . There isa where they have embark from . There is a lot of concern. Cruise ships are saying any one with a chinese, hong kong, or macau passport is not allowed on board. Bear in mind cruise ships have always been an extremely effective place for viruses to spread. You can go online now and check the centers for Disease Control in the us and it will give you a list of the norovirus as last year, the lower was thomas 561 cases. Youre in close proximity to a lot of people and this is perfect conditions. Particularly they have a lot of elderly people who are perhaps most at risk. Those worrying. These are people, we have always known that viruses spread easily on cruise ships and this is simply another example. Worrying for the people involved and their relatives. Anecdotally, what are people saying to you, what are their concerns when it comes to travel plans . |j to you, what are their concerns when it comes to travel plans . I have never seen such a degree of what i would called panic. In the past few minutes people have been in touch, i am going to thailand next month, i dont want to go, can get my money back . Because you cant. 32 cases reported in thailand, abby has died. Again, you would have to be in close proximity to one of those people gnabry has died. This is where 60 people die in a day on the roads. Somebody said i have to pick two people up from heathrow who were coming back from thailand on sunday, should you be worried . They said yes, of course you should, the roads are going to be really dangerous. Professor, can you pick up on one thing that was referenced a moment ago, these new restrictions on entering hong kong from china, the mainland. There was a midnight deadline. Lots of people trying to get in before the deadline. The absurdity of the situation is to bring the deadline interpreter people, but lots of people try to get in so they dont have to be checked in the same way. Its all about containment. If people dont adhere or care for. In fact, the history of traveller restrictions, generally, if they dont work. People always have ways of going around travel restrictions, going in early or whatever. One of the problems is people than stop going through the normal routes and started doing illegal roots and it is much difficult to keep track of people. So the value of traveller restrictions at best is it will delay things slightly. But they dont generally have. Delay things slightly. But they dont generally have. It comes down to that common sense. And thats half the problem when you see these things spread, people havent used their noggin, so to speak. And dont do what they should have done. Picking up on simons point, you use the word panic, people alarmed by this, it is worth the reality check of, here in the uk, the situation as it stands, which is that things are very much under control, the risk is low. Yes, yes. And weve got a very good Health Service that can actually deal with the small numbers we are seeing at the moment very effectively. With quarantine. Yes. And if we ever get to a point where we see a lot of cases, if the global epidemic actually does go out of control and becomes a pandemic, then we have still managed in the past to deal effectively with global pandemics of influenza and this actually wont be that different. Simon, a quick word on peoples rates at the moment with travel companies. We have heard of travel firms rebooking holidays. Yes. The main thing is if you are booked to go to china or on a cruise that started or ended in china and you cant go, obviously, because the tour operators are not running that trip, when you are entitled, if you date, package holiday with light as well, to get all your money back. Im getting lots of anecdotal evidence from people who have been phoned up, nothing in writing at all, by the travel company who say you were going to china, now you are going tojapan, if you were going to china, now you are going to japan, if you decide to cancel you will lose all your money. Absolutely not. If there is a significant change to your trip, and i would is swapping japan for china is significant, then you are entitled to your money back. But you are certainly not entitled your money back if you are going somewhere else and dont feel right travelling, keep it in proportion. We have seen 700 deaths in china. Thats a slightly fewer than the numberof thats a slightly fewer than the number of people who die on an average day in the peoples republic. Simon, thank you very much. And professor hunter, thank you for your expertise as well. Simon mentioned, storm ciara will be a problem this weekend. That is what sarah is looking at. Good morning, sarah. Good morning, naga and charlie. It is likely to be one of the most disruptive songs we have seen in several years, down to the fact we have strong winds, an amber warning in plays for severe gales. This storm will be widespread across the uk. We are all going to see those disruptive winds and it will be quite long lived as well. Still not getting out of the way in a hurry.

Around 160,000 people in their 20s were given county courtjudgements in england and wales last year. Louise cooper, from bbc radio 4s money box, has been looking into it. Shes in our london newsroom. Good morning, louise. Good to see you. Whats happening here, why is this on the rise . We think it is a particular situation with respect to young adults. But lets look at their income, tends to be low income, low wage work, and precarious, 0 hour contract, freelancing, part time, precarious, 0 hour contract, freelancing, pa rt time, income highly variable, highly precarious. At the same time young adults are the most likely to be in one of the most expensive housing, private rented accommodation. And thats with their finances that are precarious under strain. We think thatis precarious under strain. We think that is the reason why you have been seeing this big increase in these cou nty seeing this big increase in these county courtjudgements against young adults, in particular, and by the way, its notjust the 30 rise over the last year, if you go back this is a trend that goes back quite a few years. Lets talk specifically about a county courtjudgement, what is it and what is the impact of one being imposed was yellow well, its a courtjudgement against you for non payment of debt. And what it does that so devastating is it puts you on a register. A database for non payment. In that database is checked by credit reference agencies. So we spoke to one young woman who didnt even know she had a cou nty woman who didnt even know she had a county courtjudgement woman who didnt even know she had a county Court Judgement against woman who didnt even know she had a county courtjudgement against her. It only discovered it when she tried to get car finance. It only discovered it when she tried to get carfinance. A it only discovered it when she tried to get car finance. A stop to potentially getting mobile phone finance. It even could have cost a job ina finance. It even could have cost a job in a bank. And that was a ccj she knew nothing about because the Court Documents were sent to her old address. And this is the problem. It is the person or the company that you owe money to that gives your address to the court and then, u nfortu nately, address to the court and then, unfortunately, the court never checks it. So the particular problem here is that often people dont even know they have these. So if you have one or you suspect you may have had one or you suspect you may have had one imposed upon you, what can you do about it to make sure it doesnt affect you in future life . You can have something called a set aside. Once you are on this register, this database, you once you are on this register, this data base, you will once you are on this register, this database, you will be on that for six years. Now, if youve got a legitimate reason why you shouldnt be honoured, for example the Court Documents were sent to the wrong address, an old address, you can get address, an old address, you can get a set aside. That may involve getting help from a lawyer. There are things you can do, but this has been quite a worrying increase in young adults getting these. While we are seeing this increase, what has the government said in response to this . Is there anything you potentially could do or even desire to do . The ministry ofjustice they dont comment on statistics year to year. There are campaigners and critics that are looking at this, because, you know, the original court four county Court Judgements is if you owe somebody thousands of pounds, but what weve seen as quite a significant increase in county courtjudgements were really quite modest sums. For young adults in particular, the sort of category where most ccjs are is for 100 500 pounds. And given the devastation that a cpj can do to your credit record, that seems a little unfair. It is something campaigners and critics are looking at. If you dont pay, for example, a parking ticket ina pay, for example, a parking ticket in a private parking bay then you could end up with a ccj against you if it is sent to the wrong address. It seems to be using a hammer to crack a nut. There are campaigners looking at the same we need to look at the significant rise and judge if this is the best way to deal with the problem. Louise, good to talk to you. Thank you for taking us through that. Louise cooper will have more on that. You can hear more about that on money box on radio 4 from midday today. Coming up in the next half hour oh, yes driving down post traumatic stress. Well find out how a caddy school at the home of golf is helping ex Service Personnel to cope with life on civvy street.

Pressure is mounting on the Prime Minister over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms giant huawei to be involved in uks 5g network. Four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps asking those with concerns to speak up.

In the last half hour, polls have opened for voting in irelands general election, the first one ever held there on a saturday.

Residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. More than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday, thats more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday.

Those are the main stories this morning and holly is on the sofa, whats going on . Morning and holly is on the sofa, whats going on . A huge morning mike day, the six nations, always a thrill day, the six nations, always a thrill a huge day. All of the home nations in action today. A war of words between these four sides. Ireland and wales in dublin this afternoon, the reigning champions taking on ireland. Lots of people saying whoever loses this today, that could be the end of their six nations. These are two huge teams and then england taking on scotland, and then england taking on scotland, and this one always gets a little bit spicy. Its the oldest contest in rugby, the calcutta cup, and today the venue is murrayfield in edinburgh. Weve had the usual war of words between the two camps, and england boss eddiejones is well known for getting involved. More than that, as he told sonja mclaughlan, he believes its his duty. I think as a head coach youve got a responsibility to. Like, its easy not to say anything. Sure, iunderstand. But i think youve got a responsibility to create the theatre of the game, to paint a picture of how you want your players to play, and sometimes paint a picture to the opposition. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Scotland have held the trophy for the past two years after beating england at murrayfield in 2018 and coming away from twickenham with a draw last year, but the playersjust try to keep out of the pre match mind games. Myjob is to concentrate on making sure that im getting my performance spot on, but also making sure that the team are switched on and were here the right reasons. Were not listening to what everybody else has got to say, we are concentrating on what happens within the four walls of our changing room and making sure were focused and for whats coming our way. Before that game kicks off this evening, ireland host reigning champions wales in dublin. After winning their opening games last weekend, the grand slam is still on for both sides, but ireland know that theyll have to improve on their performance last weekend when theyjust about got over the line against scotland. Its been a trademark of the irish team over the last few years, to be physically dominant, and i thought last week we had in part, probably wont as consistent as we usually are in that aspect of the game. Look, we know were going to have to step it up a little bit this week and find that consistency so we dont let teams off the hook, and just keep putting pressure on in terms of dominance. Theyre a very, very physical team and if you let them get on the front foot, theyre very, very dangerous so weve got to be very careful about the areas we play in and make sure that we match that physicality thats obviously going to be there. We know its not an easy place to go, the record speaks for itself there, so its going to be a big challenge but we certainly have to front up physically and make sure we play at the right ends of the field. Both ireland and wales have a new head coach, we heard from wayne pivac there, but lets look now at irelands andy farrell. Hes the father of englandhcaptain owen farrell, of course, and farrell senior is in the top job for the first time in his career. Austin halewood went to meet some of his former coaches, to see what makes him special. Commentator and Andy Farrells ireland are up and running. The start all coaches dream of, first match, first win. 2019 was a year to forget for irish rugby, but now andy farrell is the man tasked with taking them back to the very top. But farrells journey to dublin and lansdowne road started across the irish sea here in wigan at 0rrell stjames as a junior playing rugby league. He came down, did one Training Session and then we played a game against another local team where he scored two tries and kicked about six goals, including one near enough of the touchline. He was ten. He was doing things at 11 or 12 that other kids couldnt do at 15 or 16. And from a young prospect, farrell became a Rugby League Legend at wigan warriors. After making his debut at 16, he went on to win six championships and four challenge cups with his hometown club. He even captained Great Britain atjust 21. He was always trying to improve everyone and himself, he hated losing but he was always a serious person when he was talking about rugby league and how to improve the team. Like i said, he was really strong. Had a strong voice but i think his biggest asset was his ability to get people up to play in the big games as we did. From age group rugby to captaining his country, farrell has always been a winner and now a whole new nation will be desperate for him to do it all over again. Austin halewood, bbc news. A great day of rugby to look forward to. Commentary on ireland against wales is on radio5 live. Kick off at 2 15pm, with scotland v england live on bbc1 and the bbc sport website. Thats at 4 45pm. Saracens have escaped with a fine after admitting they fielded an inelgible player in the champions cup. If they had been given a points deduction, they would have been out of the competition. They are out of the Premiership Rugby cup, though, after losing 28 7 to sale sharks in the semi finals. Sale scored three quick fire tries in the first half to do the damage. Theyll play harlequins in next months final. Israel folau wont be making his super league debut for catalans dragons against wakefield tomorrow, not because of the controversy surrounding his signing, but because hes not match ready. Last night, castleford beat wigan 16 12 and Danny Houghton marked his 350th appearance for hull fc with a try, as they won the derby against hull kr by 25 16. Great britain have a job on their hands to reach the fed cup finals. They are 2 0 down to slovakia in bratislava after Heather Watson lost the opening singles, and harriet dart saved five match points before she was beaten in a really tight three setter by viktoria kuzmova. Its a best of five tie, so britain need to win both reverse singles and the doubles today to go through, and you can watch it on the bbc sport website and app. There are only two premier League Matches today because of the winter break, and its scottish cup fifth round weekend, with all the games kicking off one minute late as part of the heads up Mental Health initiative. More on that on the website. Bristol city missed the chance to go third in the championship after losing 3 1 to birmingham city. Bristol city actually took the lead afterjust 40 seconds.

Englands cricketers have to win the final one Day International against south Africa Tomorrow to avoid a series defeat after the second match in durban had to be abandonded due to persistent rain. It had already already been reduced to 26 overs a side and south africa were 71 2 when it was called off. England suffered a heavy defeat in the opening game. Huge day ahead. We were talking earlier about what weve got planned. Ill be honest, im waiting for a delivery today and its the only time where im happy to wait all day for that delivery. As you were talking about the calcutta cup match, i had forgotten the drama of this event last year, 2019. By way of an appetiser for today, right. At half time, this was last year in this game. remember. England 317 scotland, half time. You reach extra time. Not extra time, the clock has gone red and the score is england 31 38. So they are ahead and it has gone into the red. This is huge drama. And then with the clock ticking, its already in the red, england score a try and it ends up 38 38. Remarkable talk about a game of all of that. Remarkable talk about a game of all of that. Something about this fixture, calcutta cup, everything all year. That meant obviously scotla nd all year. That meant obviously scotland retained the trophy, so this year, england want revenge, dont they . This year, england want revenge, dont they . It will be very tense i think, notjust for the players but for the watchers as well. Exactly, for the watchers as well. Exactly, for the watchers as well. Exactly, for the fans at home. Good luck, everyone. Thanks, ollie. If you play golf, youll know that a few hours on the course can be a great way to relieve stress, as long as youre getting the rub of the green. Now a special project at the home of golf, st andrews, is helping ex Service Personnel to benefit from that peace and fresh air by training them up as caddies. Louise cowey reports.

The residential caddy school for soldiers is the brainchild of don snyder, whose father was a Second World War veteran. Came back from the war, he married the only girl he ever loved, her name was peggy, she was 18, and she died a few days after giving birth to twin boys. Im one of them. My dad was shattered and he spent that autumn sleeping on her grave, and it was his buddies from the war who came and picked him up in the morning and try to get him to talk through his grief. I wanted to do something that would honour those soldiers, those world war ii soldiers, those world war ii soldiers, and also this new generation of soldiers. Soldiers like bob goodwin, who was shotin soldiers like bob goodwin, who was shot in patrol in helmand province. How long do you normally hit the driver . Normally hit about 225.

In america the figure is 20 a day. In a bid to reduce that terrible death toll and following on from its success here in scotland, america will stage its first caddy school for soldiers and following the ryder cup at whistling straits later this year. For this newly formed band of brothers, its already marked a new chapter and a chance to heal their wartime wounds. Louise cowey, bbc news, st andrews.

Keep tuned to the latest forecast. And all the weather warnings are our website. Naga and charlie. Thanks for bringing us up to date. Well be back with the headlines at 8am. Now its time for newswatch. Hello and welcome to newswatch, with me, samira ahmed. Tonight, we are leaving the European Union. Borisjohnson addresses the nation via social media on the night we finally leave the eu. Why didnt the bbc broadcast his speech . And why did the bbc turn its new studio blue and yellow for brexit night . Last friday was the night we left the European Union and the bbc had an extended News Programme at 10pm, to mark the occasion. Viewers got in touch to say they couldnt understand why the bbc news studio had turned blue and yellow, the colours of the eu. Simon lee e mailed. Other viewers got in touch to say they were unhappy with the coverage of the event in parliament square, where nigel farage and other leave campaigners were celebrating. Just after the 11pm exit, the National Anthem was played and sung by the crowds, heres how the bbc marked it. Singing, chanting, renditions of god save the queen, rule britannia and, in the final moments before we left the European Union, nigel farage, the person many credit with putting pressure on the conservative party and making sure that brexit happened. Tonight, as he addressed the crowds here, he said, some people said this wasnt to be celebrated. He says it was. It was a victory, he says, for democracy. He said, we beat the establishment, who didnt want the referendum, they didnt want this to happen. But he also said that this wasnt the end, that there would be battles ahead and he would be standing by to make sure that Boris Johnson did deliver. Tim dorsett e mailed to say. The main complaint about fridays coverage of brexit night was to do with the Prime Ministers statement and the bbcs decision not to broadcast the footage. Usually in these kind of situations, national broadcaster, usually in these kind of situations, a national broadcaster, either the bbc, itn, or sky news, would be invited into downing street, to record the Prime Ministers words. Instead, the statement was recorded by borisjohnsons team and distributed via facebook and twitter. The bbc decided not to broadcast it. Instead, using a graphic with a quote spoken by the presenter. Many viewers complained about this decision and so did the former chairman of the bbc, lord grade, who voiced his concerns on the today programme on thursday. Im very critical of the bbc not defending decisions it makes editorially. The most recent one, not running the Prime Ministers brexit speech. Fine, thats a. Decision the director general or the head of news and Current Affairs should be up front, defending that decision. Or not, as the case may be. The bbc hides, when its under criticism, it hides. And im very critical of the bbc for that. And thats completely wrong, because they expect everybody else to come on and be accountable to the bbcs journalists when they are enquiring. Well, we asked the bbc for an interview to explain the decision did not broadcast the statement. But they refused, instead, giving us this explanation. Well, im joined now by nigel bonson, who is one of the viewers who contacted us about this and he is in our sheffield studio. Nigel, why were you unhappy with the bbcs decision not to broadcast the video . Well, i was up waiting for it, as many people were im sure. I waited for the interview to be broadcast and its i waited for the interview to be broadcast and itjust didnt happen. I didnt see any apology or any explanation until later. What you just mentioned about that explanation might involve internal politics between the normal process of the bbc and others going into number ten, but as far as the publics concerned, and as far as i was concerned, itjust didnt matter. I dont think the public care how its done, they wanted to hear the Prime Ministers address. So, the bbc might say they did report what he said, including reporting in advance all day what he was going to say and that audiences did get informed on the news content. Well, i certainly wasnt informed. But as far as im concerned what they reported in short, snappy bits during the day is irrelevant. I, and im sure others, wanted to hear the Prime Minister at 10pm, as had been widely suggested. Itn didnt put the footage out either, which is interesting. And youll be aware that number ten increasingly seem be using social media instead of speaking to national broadcasters, which is usual practice on recording a Statement Like this. I suppose the bbc and some viewers might feel that there is a potentially dangerous precedent. Do you have any concerns about that at all . I dont. What itn chose to do isnt relevant. The bbc, as a national broadcaster, should broadcast these things. And, the average member of the public wouldnt be aware of how its done. To be honest, i think its rather petty and to do with internal politics, rather than meeting the needs of the nation. Just to be clear, youd feel the same, whoever was Prime Minister, if this was how they chose to release their statements . Absolutely, and thats central to my argument and i hope thats not being missed. Journalists are definitely concerned that there is an attempt to control the press, to limit how his message is got across, which might, ultimately, i suppose broadcasters would say, be to the detriment of the public and Public Service to hold the government to acount on behalf of voters. Do you think at any stage there might be a point of principle around the Prime Ministers use of social media as his main way of getting out his message . Well, i think social media, nowadays, is just as important as national tv. I would clearly be concerned, as im sure with others, if that was being managed too much. My view is that had the bbc got into number ten to record it, there wouldnt have been any questions and answers anyway, so it wouldnt have held the Prime Minister to account. So if you had a message to give to bbc executives, given that they made this decision, what would you say they should do . I would say that the public and the viewers first and, as would normally happen, if the Prime Minister wants to address the nation, he should be able to. I would just draw the analogy of a general election after two months campaign, a decision that affects the next five years of the country, that would have been covered. Yet this has been a four Year Campaign and something that will affect the nation for perhaps generations and yet the Prime Minister wasnt heard on the night. Nigel bonson, thank you so much. Now for some of your other thoughts on topics this week. Remember, last week, we featured a mistake from bbc news when they showed a picture of lebron james instead of kobe bryant . Surely two black people couldnt be confused for each other again on the bbc, could they . Well, heres the Parliament Channel on monday. The bill does lack any legal guarantees to protect us against undermining food standards here, so. That was not dawn butler, it was in fact her fellow labour mp, marsha de cordova. Dawn butler tweeted. The bbc Parliament Channel apologised, saying. Also on monday, bbc breakfast did an interview with former one direction band member louis tomlinson. He was publicising his new solo album. But the line of questioning from presenters Louise Minchin and dan walker prompted complaints. Do you feel that, at some stage, ive put too much of myself in there or is that part of helping you in writing that way as well about the loss of your mum and your sister and other things . I think because of where i started my career, on the x factor and. You know, theres always been a camera on me, and ive always kind of given a lot of myself, its kind of all ive known in my career, really. So i almost use that to my advantage. Im brave enough to talk about these things and, yeah, its worked out. Im sure you get asked a lot about the potential of one direction getting back together at some stage. Youve ticked them all off now, youve gone trauma, zayn and now were finally on this one, i like it. Come on erm, ill give you the answer i give everyone else its inevitable. Louis tomlinson tweeted after the programme. Well, viewer, veronica e mailed to say. Well, the bbc gave us this reply. And, finally, a group of leading reporters from the National Media decided not to attend a downing street briefing on monday, when other journalists, who hadnt been invited, were turned away. This prompted Matthew Dudley to get in touch. Why has the bbc failed to report the fact that all journalists walked out of the briefing yesterday, the brexit briefing, yesterday, because of a government attempt to select particularjournalists . One of the people walking out was apparently laura kuenssberg, your person there. And ifind it unfathomable why you have not made this headline news. Well, the story hasnt featured on the main bbc tv news bulletins, but the bbc did give us this response. Thank you for all your comments this week.

A huge day in the six nations coming up all the home sides in action, including rugbys oldest rivalry the calcutta cup its scotland against england at murrayfield. Good morning. The weather is likely to cause some disruption through the weekend as storm ciara is approaching. We have strong winds today for scotland and Northern Ireland. Widely across the uk, disruptive winds tomorrow. Large waves around the coast and heavy rainfall, too. Ill have all your details throughout the programme. Its saturday the 8th of february. Authorities in china have been forcibly rounding up people suspected of having the coronavirus. As other countries try to control the spread, a british honeymooner is among more than 60 people who have tested positive for the virus on board a cruise ship quarantined off the coast of japan. Greg mckenzie reports. As more and more cases of coronavirus are being reported, these unverified videos show chinese authorities at work. House to house searches, rounding up the sick. Its all adding to a growing sense of fear and dread. A child says, i dont want to be taken away like that. In hong kong, a mandatory two week quarantine has been ordered for anyone arriving from Mainland China. Visitors are being told to isolate themselves in hotel rooms or go to government run centres, while returning hong kong residents have been ordered to stay inside their homes. But the whole idea is really for this person to stay at home and not to go out so that in case they carry any virus, it will not be transmitted to the rest of the community. There have been more than 31,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Mainland China, with more than 716 deaths. Outside china, at least 270 cases have been confirmed in at least 25 countries. There are three confirmed cases in the uk. A third patient caught coronavirus at a business conference in singapore. Hes currently being treated at St Thomas Hospital in central london. The two other uk cases are being treated at the royal victoria infirmary Infectious Diseases centre in newcastle. Just off the coast of japan, 61 people including one British National have tested positive for the virus on a cruise ship. Alan steele from wolverhampton, who was on his honeymoon with his wife, wendy, is among those to be taken away for hospital treatment. Tomorrow, at least 150 british citizens are expected to arrive back in the uk on the final Repatriation Flight coming in from wuhan. Theyll be taken to a training and Conference Venue on the outskirts of milton keynes. The Foreign Office is advising all British Nationals who are in china to leave the country if they can to reduce the risk of infection. Greg mckenzie, bbc news. Our china correspondent Stephen Mcdonelljoins us from beijing where hes in self imposed quarantine. We were just seeing some of those images of what appears to be some new tactics, new procedures from the chinese authorities. Tell us more. The way in which this is being handled differs from city to city and, infact, probably handled differs from city to city and, in fact, probably within cities from area to area. So right across china, more strict measures are being taken to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Thats because the numbers keep going up, the numbers infected keep going up, the numbers of dead keep going up and according to some scientists it could even be ten times more in terms of the number of people infected than the official figures show. So, number of people infected than the officialfigures show. So, desperate times call for Desperate Measures and all that, and so in various places people are being forced to go into quarantine. Now in hong kong for example, the authorities have said that if you are arriving back in that city from the mainland, even if you are a local resident, you have to go into quarantine for two weeks because that is the maximum incubation period. If you dont do that you face potentially a prison term, so they are trying to really ram it home that people should be doing this. Foreigners arriving in hong kong, two weeks in a hotel or a government organised isolation facility. And right across china, we have different other measures being taken where city governments are saying, in every household, may be only one person every couple of days can leave home to go to the shops. It is hard to believe, though, that in theory, in a few days time, places like beijing and shanghai are supposed to be going back to normal in terms of people coming back from the new year break. Ijust cant see that happening. How on earth, given the restrictions that are in place now and how worried everybody is, can people go piling back into the underground train system by the millions. I think at the moment Many Companies have taken it upon themselves to tell their staff to stay at home, to work from there, which is what happened in my case. We return from wuhan. Surrey, from Hubei Province, at the start of this emergency, and they said we shouldnt be in contact with others soi shouldnt be in contact with others so i have been home for two weeks. We have been facing similar restrictions across the country. Only people not in Hubei Province have been told by their employers not to come to work as this emergency continues. For the moment, thank you very much. Pressure is mounting on the Prime Minister borisjohnson over his decision to allow the chinese telecomms firm huawei to be involved in uks 5g network. Fourformer cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps, asking those with concerns to speak out. Lets get more on this from our Political Correspondent matt cole, who is in our london newsroom. Matt, will this mounting pressure have any effect . Well, look, these are not the first voices to be heard being critical of the decision to let huawei into the sg the decision to let huawei into the 5g network. The fourformer cabinet ministers, tobias ellwood, the Defence Select Committee chair, and bob seely, and all of them, along with others who havent signed this letter, have long been saying they dont like the idea of the Chinese Company huawei being involved in this network. They fear it will allow the Chinese Government to spy on the uk. Huaweis founder has said repeatedly he would rather shut down the company than let the Chinese Government interfere in what it does, but that didnt stop the uk government deciding to let huawei m, government deciding to let huawei in, to restrict it to 35 of the infrastructure and not allow it to be involved in the choir. These mps say they are still not happy and they want what they call a trusted vendor is to be allowed to be part of the network. These are companies that respect Market Competition and human rights. They seem to be suggesting that huawei doesnt fit the bill. This letter to their fellow m ps the bill. This letter to their fellow mps is asking others to come forward with other ideas. I think as things stand they acknowledge it is difficult but they are very keen to see the very least of tapering off over time of the involvement of huawei. Thanks very much. Polls have opened for voting in irelands general election the first one ever held there on a saturday. Prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations and to make it easier for students and those working away from home to vote. Residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. More than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday thats more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. The Home Office Said that five inflatable boats had been intercepted. A third of Board Members in the uks top 100 companies are women, according to the department for business. Thats up by more than 10 compared to a decade ago. The business secretary Andrea Leadsom says the target has been reached ahead of schedule but more still needs to be done. Facebooks social media accounts were hacked overnight by activists claiming they want to show flaws in cyber security. A group, which calls itself our mine, targeted the firms twitter and instagram feeds and posted messages saying that even facebook is hackable. The accounts have now been restored. It follows a similar attack on teams in Americas National Football League last month. The time is eight to 10am. We have the sport coming up later. Also looking ahead at the storms over the weekend. All the weather for you, looking ahead at the storms over the weekend. All the weatherfor you, as well. The tv presenter Phillip Schofield is on nearly every front page today after coming out as gay. He made the announcement on social media before speaking about it on the itv show this morning, which he normally presents alongside holly willoughby. Lets take a look. Everyone ive spoken to. You. Yeah. Have all been so supportive and so loving and caring. And my entire family, to a person, have grabbed us and said, its ok, its ok, we love you, were proud of you. Yeah. And 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. Yeah. And thats principally the reason ive done this. Back in 2014 the reality tv star charlie king also revealed he was gay on this morning and he was interviewed by Phillip Schofield. Charlie joins us now. Good morning. Good morning. It is so sweet, we were just chatting when we we re sweet, we were just chatting when we were watching that and i asked if hed watched it yesterday as it happened. But you were doing other things. What were you doing . Happened. But you were doing other things. What were you doing7m happened. But you were doing other things. What were you doing . It was my mums birthday so i was preoccupied with sorting out her ca ke preoccupied with sorting out her cake and making sure she was having a good morning. That, in a way, i think is really relevant because this is all about you getting on with your life. That moment in time for you, it happened that you did that on this morning but that was like that before. The reason you did that was to get on with life, lead a normal life and not have worries of secrets and all that stuff. It brought it all back to me yesterday and talking to my mum, it was like, oh, my god, remember when and talking to my mum, it was like, oh, my god, rememberwhen i did and talking to my mum, it was like, oh, my god, remember when i did that and how it has gone full circle . We reminisced on that. It was a big day andl reminisced on that. It was a big day and i can absolutely empathise with how phil must have been feeling. When it was your turn to do that, your time to do that, how did you feel before . I was scared, your time to do that, how did you feel before . Iwas scared, iwont lie. It is a very daunting prospect that you are going into reveal your truth and you know that when you walk out of the studio you are going to bea walk out of the studio you are going to be a totally different. Life will never be the same again. For anyone who doesnt know what happened or how you came out, we will show it now. Its been a long time coming. The last sort of few months ive been sitting on the fence a little bit. I spoke to james about it and said that i feel that im ready now. And even though i am nervous sitting here talking about it, i know that the time is now because ive. Anyone that might know me knows i come off the only way is essex, and on that show they followed my storyline, which was very much about that subject because i never really knew where i belonged and never really knew where i fitted in. And it was something that i had to address and its taken me a good few years to kind of get here now to be able to say, im charlie, im 29 years old, im a gay man and im very comfortable with that. And when you do Something Like that, you need to feel you are in a safe environment to do that. Absolutely. You obviously did. I did. There is something very comforting about being there and felt himself, he was like a father figure, like you, charlie, you have a lovely warmth about you and you know you will be all right. They will support you and you will enjoy this experience. What is interesting, you talk about your mum, happy birthday for yesterday you were talking about family. Its that feeling that you have hidden your true self. Yeah. Not even to your true self. Yeah. Not even to yourfamily not only your true self. Yeah. Not even to your family not only to your family. Im not sure if they knew. My mum knew. But also with past relationships and how that is scrutinised because people make judgments. They do. Not about being 93v judgments. They do. Not about being gay but how you have apparently treated people because you have effectively, in their words, treated people because you have effectively, in theirwords, lied, or hidden your true self. How did you cope with that wasteland that is a massive factor to consider because the problem with myself as i never wanted to be gay. I still struggle to this day because i dont get that sense of belonging but i trust who i am and sense of belonging but i trust who i am and ijust go about my life the way that i do. But when you are struggling with who you are and you are trying your best to be someone else or trying to delve into other life style else or trying to delve into other lifestyle choices, you can get yourself in quite difficult situations. I did that on the only way is essex with the lads. I felt i needed to day the girls and be out doing that sort of stuff for the sake of the shell and being seen as one of the boys and being accepted and truthfully i was getting myself more and more unhappy and lost. One thing that occurs to me. You said a moment ago that when you went into that studio you thought everything would change. I am keen to know whether some of the things you found out actually dont change, which is the people who do rally around, the people who stand by. Whatever the phrases are. Or maybe the people you meet subsequently, that actually changes can work both ways and it can be so much for the better. You can be so much for the better. You can build so much fear into what you think the outcome will be by what you think people will think of you and that is one of the biggest issues and for me, actually, the support afterwards and howl issues and for me, actually, the support afterwards and how i left feeling that day was incredible. The support, the people that are around me come around me to this very day, theyjust want you to be happy and anyone that is worth having in your life are the ones that are just going to support you and care for you and love you. What is quite difficult, what you mention, which is quite an open thing, you never wa nted is quite an open thing, you never wanted to be gay and even now you struggle. I do, very much. And people would have seen you and taken inspiration for what you did, so how do you balance that when people want from you to say its ok, if you feel good, i feel from you to say its ok, if you feel good, ifeel good. From you to say its ok, if you feel good, i feel good. Yeah, i am comfortable with who i am, its just how i navigate myself as a gay man. Im quite different, im more ofa quiet guy. I have always been quite a lone warrior and when im out and about sometimes i feel a little bit of. | about sometimes i feel a little bit of. I dont quite fit in here and dont want to get involved with that and the mentality of this group of people is not really mine and so i end up sometimes being quite hard on myself instead of just end up sometimes being quite hard on myself instead ofjust relaxing into things. That isjust part of my own journey and that is why when people ask me the question, why do you feel the need to come out and talk about this . Its because the more we share our individual stories, the better. Everyone is different. Just because you come out as gay or lesbian or transgender or whatever, it is your story. The more we expose that, the more people can take something from that. You are lovely, celebrate yourself. Quiet works, it does. Treading your own path absolutely works. We all feel the same way. There you go. Thank you, charlie, lovely talking to you. 8 17am. If you or someone you know has been affected by issues surrounding sexuality you can find help and support on the bbcs actionline website, at bbc. Co. Uk actionline. Heres Sarah Keith Lucas with a look at this mornings weather. You need to stay tuned to this, storm this morning is coming. Some destructive weather. The winds will strengthen today but tomorrow we will feel the brunt of that storm. There is an amber warning issued from the met office for severe gales in the south east of england, but right across the British Isles we will see there strong winds leading to some destructive, potentially some dangerous weather during the course of sunday. Storm ciara is in the atlantic, already brought some Severe Weather to the states. It is strengthening on a strong jet stream towards uk. We had a bit of rain overnight, where the front moved its way eastwards. A bit of rain across the likes of kent over the next couple of hours. That clears away and for much of the country a lot of dry weather today. Some heavy showers for scotland and Northern Ireland with thunder, but gail is developing across scotland and Northern Ireland later on next area of heavy rain moving in here later this afternoon. For eastern scotland and the bulk of england and wales, a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, blue sky and temperature is pretty mild. Seven to 11 degrees for most. Gusts about 60 to 70 mph across scotla nd gusts about 60 to 70 mph across scotland and Northern Ireland as we head into the evening hours. Bit of snow over the mountains of scotland and then m3 macro really moves in through the early hours of sunday. Heavy rain for many, from the word 90, heavy rain for many, from the word 9, heavy rain for many, from the word go, storm ciara moves in. Through the day that storm will move its way gradually west to east. You can see the proximity of all these isobars particularly in between the one front and cold front where we will see some really strong winds, squally winds as a cold front moves its way gradually eastwards. These are the gusts we are expecting. Widely 60 to 70 mph even inland. Around the hills and coastlines, it could be up to about 80 mph. Anywhere from the English Channel right towards the Western Isles. From the word go, some heavy rain, melted snow across scotland and Northern Ireland micro mountain snow. The rain moves away and sunshine, heavy showers with hail and squally winds across the central belt, gusts of 70, possibly 80 mph. Further south across the uk, if we look at sunday, some heavy base of rain. You can see the green under this line, the cold front, is that moves eastwards across england and wales for the afternoon it will bring some really strong squally winds up to about 80 mph. As storm ciara moves across the uk it will bring severe gales, we are likely to see some disruption to transport and travel as well as the potential for power cuts with possibly some trees down and some really large waves around the coast. Its quite a long lived storm. Still very windy on monday, not as windy as sunday, but it remains unsettled into the new working week with further strong winds, heavy showers and into monday and tuesday some snowfall over the mountains in the north. Destructive weather, lots of warnings in voice and you can keep up to date with them on our website. Ok, thank you very much. Speak to you later. Earlier this week we were speaking to members of chinese communities in north west england who told us about some of the discrimination theyve faced as a result of the coronavirus. Lets just hear what sam phan told us. Hes a student from manchester. On campus there has been a lot of fear against international students, the majority of them do come from china, and so ive heard this discourse where home students are afraid to go to University Libraries because they are worried about being infected by the virus orjust kind of this talk about, you know, it being worried about spending time with Chinese People just in case. Some of my friends who are into asian at all will send me screenshots from their group chats with housemates and flatmates and they are kind of seeing this kind of anti asian sentiment almost, where there is this fear of Chinese People. It something that really resonated with lots of people. Sadly sams story was not unique and other chinese communities in the uk five thousand miles away from the outbreak are also facing fear and suspicion. Fiona lamdin has been to bristol to find out more. This supermarket in the centre of bristol has been serving the Chinese Community here for four decades, but its owners say since the outbreak of the Coronavirus Business has been slow. Fewer people, takeaways are quieter, so theyre not coming out to buy their goods for their restaurants and things. So its definitely more quiet than usual. One of their loyal customers is ni zhang. He and his family have lived in bristol for 14 years. He hasnt been back to china forfour. Our main concern isnt the virus itself, its how weve been treated. Discrimination against the whole asian is my main concern. I have got two children and theyre both at school age, and theyve been reported at their school. Some asian children have been called coronavirus lady, you should go back to your country. Ive got acquaintances and friends and theyve been showing their experiences how people are not wanting to sit next to them on public transport, packed train, but there are gaps on either side of them and people see them pulling up their collars and stuff like that. And its. People shouldnt feel ostracised just because they look east asian. There are 4,000 chinese living in bristol. 200 go to Chinese Church here. But as of last sunday, theyre encouraging vulnerable worshippers to stay at home and join in online. The younger kids and probably the elderly, they are very prone to getting the virus, as well, so on the precaution side, we want them to be able to enjoy the service in a safe environment. Was there a drop in the congregation . There was a drop in number but still around two thirds of the congregation came. Its notjust in bristol. In yorkshire, students have reported being singled out for abuse. One Community Worker in sheffield says shes been contacted by many students. I had a report sent to me on thursday evening about a girl walking down west street wearing a mask, that was insulted, nudged and comments made to her about why she was wearing a mask. And attractions across cumbria that rely on tourism have struggled since the outbreak. This spa in the Lake District is suffering. Normally filled with chinese visitors, many of the groups have cancelled. There are cancellations or some groups that arent materialising. There are actually still groups from china being booked in, but further into the year. Nobody as far as i know is aware of when the coronavirus will be contained. The coronavirus has affected thousands, closed borders and put parts of china in lockdown. 5,000 miles away in the uk, communities are feeling the effects. Fiona lamdin, bbc news. We will have more coverage in connection with coronavirus through the programme this morning. 8 25am. Time to look at the papers. The artist Mackenzie Thorpe is here. Are you well . I am well. Youve picked out this story. The scandal of sectioned dementia patients. This isa of sectioned dementia patients. This is a telegraph investigation, what is a telegraph investigation, what is this about . I rarely read newspapers and i never knew anything about this and it came this morning. Iam very about this and it came this morning. I am very upset, very angry. It, put simply. If there are problems, which could be physical violence, whatever, then dementia patients are being put into mental institutions where the staff are not able to work with them properly. The environment is wrong. My father, he had dementia, and my mother in law, and we went in the hospital to see my father and he said, we went in the hospital to see my fatherand he said, oh, yes, mr thorpe is in this room. We went into the room, nice room, it wasnt him it was someone. It was someone else. Then they took us to another room where he was on the bed, crying. My but dad is massive and he was this little thing on the bed, and he died. Up there is nothing you can do. Anybody could be a victim in the future. And it makes me so angry that that person can be taken away from the family into hospital and you are waiting for them to go through the suffering, and then taken to an institution and if you wa nt to taken to an institution and if you want to bring them home and they have been section, you cant you cannot get your mum and dad home again. Youve highlighted this, the telegraph story that more than 25,000 people, patients, have been sectioned in the past five years. Yeah, yes. This is a lot of people. It is so sad, so sad. We are panicking about so many hundreds or thousands in china at the moment, which is really sad, and the whole world is coming together and trying to do something about it. How long have we been going on at this and how long do we have to go on like this . To lock them away is so wrong. How does it make you feel . The department of health and social care has said it wants to make england the best country in the world for Dementia Care and it is working, the nhs is committed to eliminating out of area placements, patients can get the right care at the right time and is close to home as possible. It is about modernising the Mental Health act and making sure people affected do have a greater say in how they are treated, but it comes down to actually communicating with families, as well. Totally, totally. Imagine you had just found out your pa rents imagine you had just found out your pa re nts ha d imagine you had just found out your parents had gone somewhere else miles away and it is called a mental institution. Right . You know, iwas brought up, respect your elders. And i hope somebody respects me one day. It is such an important story. As you say, it will affect almost every family in one way or another. Yes, yes. Why dont we take. We we re yes, yes. Why dont we take. We were remembering kirk douglas this week. You had interviewed michael, speaking about him. He died at the age of 103. He will be focused in some of the papers and you picked this out from the express. It is oscar week and my thought was, how the movies and the art of the movies, the music, the actors, can change ones perspective, even a life. I drew all my childhood, i wrote poetry, i couldnt figure things out and i was in an environment that didnt really work. The north east, you were a man, and the shipyard, and i was an artist. I was 14 years old, lost for life comes on and there was this guy passionate about the flower, this quy passionate about the flower, this guy, just want to draw. Thats what iam im an guy, just want to draw. Thats what i am im an artist and itsjust changed my life, it really changed my life. Im not thanking vincent van gogh, im thinking kirk douglas for betraying that character that allowed me, this kid in the north east, to understand about passion. By his own admission, so many people think about in relation to those roles, the vikings, and as you say, that brought something out in you. Oh i heard him say once thats done when said to him, dont play that role, its fort nancys. You be a cowboy. He went ahead and did itand you be a cowboy. He went ahead and did it and a lot of people said not to but he did. Hejust lost did it and a lot of people said not to but he did. He just lost the oscar. 1956, the year i was born. love your engagement in these stories. We have only got through to, we will get through some more. Headlines coming up, we will see shortly. Hello, this is breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Coming up before nine, well be meeting the surgeon who is back at the operating table after having both of his legs amputated. But first a summary of this mornings main news. Video footage has emerged from china which appears to show officials forcibly rounding up people suspected of having the coronavirus. Multiple unverified videos like this one show the so called quarantine squads at work. More than 700 people have now died as a result of the virus, with more than 34,000 infected. Pressure is mounting on the Prime Minister over his decision to allow the chinese telecoms giant huawei to be involved in uks 5g network. Four former cabinet ministers have written to all tory mps asking those with concerns to speak up. Yesterday the us Vice President mike pence described the decision to include huawei in the network as disappointing. The government insists the move followed a rigorous review. Polls have opened for voting in irelands general election the first one ever held there on a saturday. Prime minister leo varadkar said it was to prevent schools having to be closed to be used as polling stations and to make it easier for students and those working away from home to vote. Residents of remote islands cast their votes yesterday. More than 100 people tried to enter the uk illegally by crossing the channel yesterday thats more than on any previous day. 102 people were detained yesterday, and another 90 were stopped on thursday. The Home Office Said that five inflatable boats had been intercepted. Five Emergency Responders have been taken to hospital for precautionary checks after a suspected chemical incident in stoke on trent. Police and other Emergency Services were called to a house in the northwood area of the city yesterday evening, where the body of a woman was found. Her death is being treated as unexplained. Staffordshire police said suspected Hazardous Materials were at the scene. Those are the main stories, but there are plenty of stories waiting to be told in six nations today. Theres so much hyperbole about it, but today we have so much action. Who is playing who . We have wales against ireland, and then we have one of the oldest competition, the oldest, in fact, the calcutta cup, ingram taking on scotland at murrayfield. Lets get a bit more on that. Austin, wales are the reigning champions, and they were victorious in this fixture last year. The question is, can they win in dublin . Thats a very good question. They have not won here in dublin for six nations through many years, so it would be a big test for wales and their head coach wayne pivac. The grand slam is very much on the table after the opening round wins, first wins for both sets of new head coaches, as well. Going onto ireland, their head coach has taken over after a very disappointing year for ireland, they had a poor six nations, and then left the world cup much earlier than they would have liked. Andy farrell was the assistant head coach through all of that, now he is the head coach for the first time. A good start for ireland, went out of scotland last week, but the challenge really stepped up now as they welcome wales. Wales riding a high after that thrashing of italy last weekend, 42 0, they beat the italians. But they have not won here for eight years, so it is a big test for eight years, so it is a big test for them. Wayne pivac says it will be the greatest test of his managerial career so far, so it would be a big showdown in a few hours. I suppose, theres much expectations on ireland, but they were really disappointing, so they have something to prove. They certainly do, because going backjust before la st do, because going backjust before last year, irish rugby was at an all time high. They were the number ranked side in the world, they beat the all blacks on this pitch behind me, irish rugby fans are used to the high life, but it all changed last year after a really poor six nations, and then they were knocked out of the world cup in disappointing fashion, so they have a point to prove. They started well against scotland, but it wasnt the most convincing win. They need to first win under farrell on the books. It wasnt the most glamorous start for ireland, but they need to step up against reigning champions wales later today. Lets head over to edinburgh now and Sarah Mulkerrins whos outside murrayfield. Sarah the calcutta cup. There are so many cliches around this one, the old enemies. The intensity the war of words. And we dont always get the result we might expect do we . Certainly a fixture that brings in intense rivalry and unpredictable results. Good morning from edinburgh, murrayfieldjust results. Good morning from edinburgh, murrayfield just behind me. The city is slowly waking up ahead of this historic fixture, 149 years it has been going, the calcutta cup between scotland and england. England do traditionally dominate. Off the past ten encounters, scotland had only won once, but we had a sensational draw at twickenham, scotland coming and fighting to a draw, so there is a lot of ferocity on the pitch in this fixture, and there has been a lot of fighting talk from both camps. The england flanker, lewis ludlum, he has called it a war. He said, they hate us, we hate them. The choice of words has caused some consternation around both countries, and they think there has been no need to speak that way, because ahead of the france game there was a lot of hyperbole, which backfired, a loss for england and france. Question marks for eddie jones over his selection, particularly over tom currie at numbereight, selection, particularly over tom currie at number eight, tom currie does still start in that position, although he is not that familiar with it. It certainly feels like a long time ago from the final in japan. Scotland lost in ireland last week, but as we heard, they came out of it with a lot of credit, because one thing about Gregor Townsend as he loves attacking rugby, he loves the flairand he loves attacking rugby, he loves the flair and running in tries, he loves attacking rugby, he loves the flairand running in tries, but there has been question marks over whether they can really stay in the fight later on, whether they can be more pragmatic, and that is certainly something they have been talking about, that they have learned from that world cup disappointment. He is trying to get them better on defence, more aggression, and to stay in things right again, not be so naive. Very ha rd right again, not be so naive. Very hard to call, no one wants to call it, this week, really. None of the pundits can predict it. It brings the drama and the hype. We know we have storm ciara on the way, we will have storm ciara on the way, we will have a bit of bluster on the pitch. Looking forward to it. I cannot wait, a great day of rugby. There will be commentary of ireland against wales and radio five live, and there will be coverage of england and scotland as well. Lets take a step away from the rugby for the moment we need to talk football. Eilidh barbour is here. Got all six nations were represented. What have you got for us . It is a power halfhour for us, for premier League Fixtures across the weekend, and we will be speaking about those and hearing from the goalkeeper from one of the surprise packages in the premiership this season, sheffield.

If we get to the europa league, why not go to the Champions League . Self belief is important, isnt it . Champions league . Self belief is important, isnt it . You only get one shot at it. You have to play as official last game and be confident. You have a short time to leave a little legacy behind, so you always wa nt little legacy behind, so you always want to develop and get better, but you got to back your own ability at the same time. So, great season for sheffield united, they play bournemouth tomorrow. We will check in with the early kick off to, and we also have an interview with jimmy flaherty, early kick off to, and we also have an interview withjimmy flaherty, a really powerful and brave interview that she gives, when she was a teenager dealing with things in her life that almost led to her taking her own life, and she has spoken about this in the hope that it will help people talk and speak out, and it is really powerful interview with jilly. And once someone does decide to speak up, its very hard, but its very competitive. To speak up, its very hard, but its very competitive. And its a surprise to some of her team mates when they heard the story, because she is a central defender, she is all power, shes all action on the pitch, and she is struggling so much offered, so its a really powerful interview that gilly has done, so we will talk a bit about that, as well. Then we will take a look at the afl, the championship. Dont think it has gone unnoticed, your subliminal message to scotland, on your arm. Its message to scotland, on your arm. Its there we noticed. Message to scotland, on your arm. Its there we noticed. Need to bring the power at murrayfield today. Break it up, break it up see later. Israel folau wont be making his superleague debut for catalans dragons against wakefield tomorrow not because of the controversy surrounding his signing, but because hes not match ready. Last night, castleford beat wigan 16 12 and Danny Houghton marked his 350th appearance for hull fc with a try, as they won the derby against hull kr, by 25 points to 16. Englands cricketers have to win the final one Day International against south Africa Tomorrow to avoid a series defeat, after the second match in durban had to be abandonded due to persistent rain. It had already already been reduced to 26 overs a side and south africa were 71 for 2 when it was called off. England suffered a heavy defeat in the opening game. Great britain have a job on their hands, to reach the fed cup finals. Theyre 2 0 down to slovakia in bratislava, after Heather Watson lost the opening singles, and harriet dart saved five match points before she was beaten in a really tight three setter by viktoria kuzmova. Its a best of five tie, so britain need to win both reverse singles and the doubles today, to go through and you can watch it on the bbc sport website and app. Busy day all round, but looking forward to the rugby. And afternoon sat watching both matches. Would you watch it as well . No, im going straight from football focus to blackburn fulham. Im sure i get it up blackburn fulham.

It is quarter to nine, sarah will have the weather in about five or six minutes. A surgeon who has amputated thousands of limbs during his career has returned to work after having both of his legs removed. Neil hopper needed the surgery after he became seriously ill with sepsis ten months ago but hes already back at the operating table. Lets have a look at his story. Neil hopper is about to perform in amputation. So, his right foot is dead. As a skilled vascular surgeon, it should bejust another routine operation. So, i think we are just going to go vessel by vessel, and nice and gently. But this time, its different. This is an operation ive done hundreds of times, and it is an operation i have done throughout my career, and, yes, there is a small possibility that i could freeze. Last april, on a day like any other, neil began to feel unwell. Ifelt a bit achy, so i took a couple of paracetamol, and a glass of whisky, and went to bed. Neil had contracted sepsis, where the body reacts to an infection by attacking its own organs and tissues. I woke up after the operation and i couldnt quite work out if they had done it or not, because i could still feel that my feet were there, and it was only later, when i was sort of a bit more with it, i could look down and i just remember seeing the bedclothes were flat where my feet would be. Neil hopperjoins us now. Just tell us, how are you . Very well, thank you. Almost back to normal, which is quite amazing. Didnt normal, which is quite amazing. Didnt think id ever get. Normal, which is quite amazing. Didnt think id ever get. So, you carried out operations, could you ta ke carried out operations, could you take is to the basics of what happened to you . Take is to the basics of what happened to you . So, currently in pretty much back to work, just slightly less than full time, and on a phased return. Im doing everything that i normally do, but doing thejob that everything that i normally do, but doing the job that i love. How have your colleagues reacted . When i initially became unwell back in april, i was admitted to my own hospital, so, through a twist of fate, i needed some treatment that could only be provided at plymouth, so thankfully i got removed to the hospital so my colleagues didnt have to look after me or operate on me. I think i mightve too much they are friends, so it goes beyond that whole caring thing. Youre back to work, ten months is a very quick turnaround. I think this is obviously testament to your own mental and emotional strength, but determination tojust mental and emotional strength, but determination to just get back to the table. Yeah, initially this that imight not the table. Yeah, initially this that i might not be able to go back to doing my full duties, so i set myself a target to get back, and also set myself what i thought was an Unrealistic Target of six months, and actually made it, so i was back to paperwork after six months, but didnt get into the operating theatre until recently. A you think spring to mind, what do people want from a surgeon . One, they want the availability, they want the scale, and then maybe you want empathy. You wa nt and then maybe you want empathy. You want some empathy from your surgeon. So, you have operated on people, you have an amputated legs, now you are ina similar have an amputated legs, now you are in a similar situation yourself, how is it changed . In a similar situation yourself, how is it changed . I had a sort of academic understanding of an amputation, and i thought i knew what it means, but what i didnt gather was that it changes everything. It changes the way you move around the world, it changes the way other people see you, but it also changes the way you think about yourself. Its quite a change from being pretty much able bodied one minute to having to rely on prosthetics or wheelchairs. How has that manifested when you are talking to patients . Before or after operations. So, its a small place, so basically only patients know about it, so i do feel i can empathise with them and took a bit more, but also i can point to hazards and things that might crop up hazards and things that might crop up that i would have never mentioned before. One thing you have also learned is the after care, and use of prosthetics, the availability of good prosthetics and care. I imagine it is something, when you are a surgeon before, that was for someone else to do with. It was the next phase, the patient was out of your hands. I absolutely lived in a hospital bubble, where i did the operation and the patients were discharged, and we just all assumed they were being looked after. It feels like youre being dropped off a cliff when you leave hospital. Go from being pampered and looked after two going home and just sat staring out the window, sat there with no one to talk to, and it suddenly dawned on me what has happened. So it isa dawned on me what has happened. So it is a bit ofa dawned on me what has happened. So it is a bit of a slump. We have talked a bit about the professional side of your story, what about the personal side . You mentioned your kids. How has that been . I imagine with the Roller Coaster of emotions you must have all gone through during the course of what happened and where you are now. My wife has been fantastic, purely supported. My kids, my daughter, who is ten, she was a bit upset by it, that my son, who is six, just think its great, cool who is six, just think its great, cool, robot legs, daddy so, your daughter was scared, worried about how it would be . After my operation, she wanted me to keep the bedclothes over my legs for half an hour, and then she slowly peeled it back, and she was ok with it eventually, but, yeah, she was a bit more timid about it, but harry just yeah, she was a bit more timid about it, but harryjust thought it was great. When are you back working . I will be back to full time hopefully in about eight weeks time, but i have got six months off overnight on calls, which i will enjoy just keep at it, its a brilliant story, and so interesting to see how transformative it so interesting to see how tra nsformative it has so interesting to see how transformative it has been, notjust physically but in terms of you and yourjob and the care you can give. It has in many ways made you better at yourjob. I hope so. You can hear more about neils story on inside out south west on monday evening at 7. 30 on bbc one, or you can catch up on the bbc iplayer.

Hollywood is gearing up for its biggest night of the year tomorrow the academy awards. But if you need an antidote to all that back slapping, the nominations for the razzies have just been announced. Theyre the anti oscars for the worst movies. Film critic emily murray can tell us more. The rises were sort of parked away from the rest of the movies, they now arrive essential. Yes, theyre quite sensual now. I think we should talk about cats, which is one of the worst or did you see it . It is traumatising. Im not sure if you seen the photos and stuff, but the cgi seen the photos and stuff, but the c6 is seen the photos and stuff, but the cgi isjust seen the photos and stuff, but the cgi is just horrendous, seen the photos and stuff, but the cgi isjust horrendous, and it has eight nominations, which is the joint most amount of nominations.

Anne hathaway up for worst actress. Also, the redeemer, jennifer lopez. A lot of kick back with the oscars. What is this redeemer award . So, this is a previous razzies winner, who has made good. She missed out on best actress oscar, so this is great. Adam sandler is interesting, because he has won one of the most amount of razzies, and he is back for a redeemer award, for uncut gems, which is incredible. He said, if you wasnt nominated for an oscar, he would go back to making bad films, soi would go back to making bad films, so i imagine we will see him back at the razzies again. So, what about rambo . This is rambo. . Last blood. It was criticised for xenophobia and racism, so, Sylvester Stallone up for worst actor, it is a biofilm. Quite a lot of the stars who have been nominated now turn up for this. Yes, it is good fun, and they recognise that.
