It comes after sir Philip Rutnam resigned as the home offices most senior Civil Servant, claiming he was subjected to a Vicious Campaign against him. 0ur Political Correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom. A very good morning to you. Demands that we hear from the a very good morning to you. Demands that we hearfrom the home secretary, is that going to happen . We havent heard publicly from the home secretary since sir philip made his resignation statement yesterday. She has responded to newspaper reports, just to reassure denials. But we havent heard any response from her publicly. I dont expect that to change over the weekend, perhaps. The question is when it changes when parliament is back tomorrow. There are efforts from some opposition politicians to try to force her to make some sort of statements. Keir starmer wants her to make a statement to parliament, he also wants a Senior Committee of mps to investigate the workings of government more mps to investigate the workings of government more more widely. There have been calls for Boris Johnson to make a statement. I think the pressure that is growing. Although priti patel hasnt responded publicly, allies of the home secretary are privately saying that they believe sir philip wasnt up that they believe sir philip wasnt up to the job. But the Prime Minister was asked if he had full confidence in priti patel and a downing street source said he had full confidence in his cabinet. Interesting timing that yesterday, on the same day, we heard the announcement that the Prime Minister and his partner, Carrie Symonds, are expecting their first baby together and are engaged to be married. Lots of comments on the timing. Yes, of course. Yesterday was a really bad day for the government in the morning, certainly, and then we had this news late in the afternoon. There has been women swelling it was mrfor there has been women swelling it was mr for some there has been women swelling it was mrfor some time whether there has been women swelling it was mr for some time whether or not they we re mr for some time whether or not they were expecting westminster. The fa ct were expecting westminster. The fact that it came out sort of a round now is not that strange. However, since have been raised about the particular timing of yesterday and this wont be the first downing street baby. Tony and cherie blair had their baby leo while they were in office and david and Samantha Cameron had florence. Challenging times ahead for them, im sure. The Northern Rail network has been taken under government control this morning, following years of poor performance.

But figures from the office of rail and road dont only 55 of Northern Trains arrived at stations within a minute of the stated timetable in the past year. That compares with the average across britain of 55 . A recent survey by the passenger watchdog transport focus suggests that just 7296 transport focus suggests that just 72 of northern passengers were satisfied with theirjourney. The company blamed external problems, such as rail infrastructure, but the government said passengers needed a service they could rely on and stripped it of its franchise five yea rs stripped it of its franchise five years earlier. Now trains will be run by the governments operator of last resort. The transport secretary, grant shapps, is calling ita secretary, grant shapps, is calling it a new era for rail in the north, but his warning there will be no quick fix. He set up a panel of local politicians and industry experts, and passenger representatives to draw up an action plan within 100 representatives to draw up an action plan within100 days.

Amazing seafood you can get. Right. We are going to check in with the weather. A very good morning to you. We just heard it is the wettest february on record. Were not surprised. Im youre not. It has been the wettest february and yesterdays storm topped it up which is why we have dozens of flood warnings in place. A chilly winter today. Whiter than yesterday but still some influences from storm jorge. 100 flood warnings across the uk. The storm has continued to weaken. Plenty of isobars still on the chart, not as many as yesterday but enough to cause winds of up to 65 Miles Per Hour in the northern half of the country and some snow, pretty significant snow in fact across northern england, central and southern scotland. 8 10 centimetres in place. Lower down, it will generally be down but it could mixing here as well. Quite a bit of sunshine across the uk, particularly central and eastern parts of england where it could stay dry all day. Wintry showers into southern and Western Areas. It will be a windy day but those winds will continue to ease down through the day and it will feel chilly. 9 10 degrees across the south east of the country, generally single figures for most. As we had into sunday, monday, sorry, another showery day with strong winds, more wintry showers across northern scotland with significant accumulation once again. This southern areas could see two to five degrees. As you move through monday morning, we could see early rain, sleet and snow across southern areas of the country but they will tend to clear away through they will tend to clear away through the morning and we will see plenty of sunshine into the afternoon with temperatures reaching 6 9d, just below the seasonal average. Beyond monday and tuesday, it looks low pressure wants to be nearby to the country and that could introduce a few showers. A High Pressure area building that could bring some settle conditions before this feature may move in for the following weekend. But a bit of sunshine through the week. But getting unsettled to the weekend. Slightly clearer scars, that is good news. It always seems to be the weekend. Well be back with todays main news shortly. But first, james king is with jane hill for this weeks film review. Chuckles. Hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. And to take us through this weeks top cinema releases is james king. Lovely to see you, james. You too and what have you been watching . Well, theres a new version of a classic tale, the invisible man, but is it a must see . Will ferrell struggles in the snow in comedy drama downhill. And the Foreign Language film everyones talking about that isnt parasite, portrait of a lady on fire. Its the other one now, lets start with the invisible man. Am i going to be scared out of my wits . Thats the opening point. You love a horrorfilm, dont you . So, i mean, you know the story, right, of the invisible man . The hg wells story. Well, this is a twist on it, actually. 0k. Because its from a different perspective. It is about the invisible mans partner, his girlfriend, and hes a tyrant. I mean, hes a bully, and she wants to escape him. She escapes their house but, of course, because he is invisible, because of his powers, he can secretly stalk her. So a different twist on a classic story. Elisabeth moss stars in this, so lets have a look. 0k. He has figured out a way to be invisible. You know exactly what im talking about. Hes not dead. Ijust cant see him. 0k. Though i agree with you, adrian was brilliant, but it wasnt because of anything he invented, it was how he got in peoples heads. You think about it. He came up with that perfect way to torture you, even in death. Only thing more brilliant than inventing something that makes you invisible is not inventing it, but making you think he did. Hes not dead, tom. Hmm. Is it very clever . Isit. . Very clever. Yeah, because ultimately, its it is a horrorfilm a horror thriller but really, its about that, because of that change of protagonist, its about a woman trying to escape her abuser and the mental games, the mind games that he plays on her. So, yes, its creepy. Its made by people who have made lots of other horror films the same people who paranormal activity and the purge and all your favourites, jane. Oh, yes. Seen them all, many, many times but a lot of very successful and very slick kind of low budget horror movies. So it has the horror movie pedigree but i think because of that central that central concept, the twist in the tail, if you like, this actually had something more to it, something much more profound about it. And a very modern notion. I mean, even watching the trailer, it made me quite tense, because this is a woman who has been a victim of whether its coercive control, some form of domestic violence. So of course everybody around her wants to help her but says oh, but of course you are traumatised, of course you are look at what he used to do to you and thats thats clever. Its her trying to convince people, mainly men, that this actually happened, you know . Because the guys invisible. No ones got proof of it, really. She they think its all in her head. So theres a lot of mind games in this, and psychological stuff that i really appreciated. You are on the edge of your seat to use the old cliche anticipating the jumps and the scares. Great use of silence in this, great use of sort of empty spaces in this. Right. So if you want the old schooljumps and scares, they are there, but it does just have that Little Something extra that makes it a must see. 0k. Really interesting, and people love Elisabeth Moss at the moment, dont they, so. Shes brilliant. So good in it. Sheis kinda fragile but really determined as well. Yeah. A change of scene for number your second choice . Yeah, so this is downhill. This is an american remake of a film called force majeure, came out in 2014. Ruben 0stlund, swedish director, made that great movie about a couple on holiday in the alps and their relationship crisis that happens. So the american version, this new version, stars julia louis dreyfus, and will. From veep, which everybody loves, from veep, yes. Yeah, and seinfeld, back in the day. Yes. And will ferrell. Pretty much the same story, really, about this couple in the aftermath of an avalanche that happens at their resort. But even before you see this, you can tell that its going to be different to the original because this is 90 minutes long, the original was two hours long. So you go 0k, half an hour is gone. What have they cut out . Whats happened . Actually, when you watch it because the original was great and this is largely the same story its still an interesting story about a married couple, the problems they have, how they all come to a head on this holiday, and there is some insightful stuff in there. Certainly, the husband will ferrells character is a real coward, you know . Hes trying to bluff his way through life. So the male female dynamic remains interesting. But half an hour shorter, which means less complex, less su btle. Right. It is kind of the cliffs notes version of the original film, it is kind of the cliffs notes version of the original film, the bullet points of the originalfilm. That doesnt make it bad. Its very easy to watch. But the original one, force majeure, that had the subtleties to it and thats the movie that kind of sticks with you, rather than this one, which is a much simpler thing. And i always think thats so interesting. You know, do these films need to be remade, when youre saying, you know, the original was so much better . Yeah is itjust a studio boss going do you know what . We will put it in some beautiful scenery and get the lady from veep everyone loves her, you know well make a money spinner and it is quite a weird tone because, of course, the original was an art house film a Foreign Language film to us and they dont quite know in the new version is it an art house film again, but it has a list stars in it. Is it a Hollywood Comedy . Theyre not sure what tone to take. Its fine, but watch the original its better. 0k and youve got a cracking Foreign Language film as your final choice today. Yeah, yes. So this is a french historical drama, portrait of a lady on fire. Celine sciamma is the film maker behind this. She did a great film called girlhood a few years ago. So end of the 18th century this is set, about marianne. Shes a portrait painter. She is commissioned to paint the portrait of heloise, who is a bride to be i think, its fair to say, a reluctant bride to be. Yes she lives out on an island off the coast of brittany, so marianne goes off there to do this painting. Quite an awkward relationship between them at first, but that relationship blossoms into romance. Lets have a look. Hmm. I wish i could now pull out one of those pipes from my pocket. I was just listening to the crackle of the fire in the clip, thinking how clever it was that there was the crackle of fire through so much of the film. Its i think it is a very, very classy film. Very classy film, and you could kind of get a sense of that in the clip as well. An enigmatic film. Ive seen it, youve seen it. I loved it, but its a film i want to go back to, because i think theres so much more to unlock in this movie. You get it the first time around, but i think you will continue to be rewarded with more things the more times you watch it. Looks beautiful. Actually, a lot of it is quite austere. It is quite spare, isnt it . Quite minimal. Yes, yes. Where they live, where its set on this island, but i guess its the passion between these two characters that is the fire you can see the fire there that is that is the warmth of the film and the beauty of the film and actually, the paintings as well that you see are beautiful. Yes so there are these little elements of beauty and romance and passion within this quite austere setting. And ultimately, you know, its about two women who are finally allowed to be what they want to be at a time when they werent. And, yes, they have to do it in virtual isolation but, you know, its a film about authenticity, really, isnt it . About people being their authentic selves. I got to the end and i thought how clever it was, because there is the whole theres a lovely character of the maid as well and theres a whole, right throughout it i mean, of course, this is the 17705, men are in control. Yes. And men utterly control those three women in different ways without doing any plot spoilers but then you get to the end of the film and you think oh, my gosh theres hardly a man in it at all i know exactly, yeah any any point really clever. Have you read sarah waters books . Like fingersmith and tipping the velvet and things like that . You know, an element of that there, i think, and hitchcock as well theres a few, i think, some hitchcock nods, but entirely its own film and a beautiful one. Very beautiful. Very, very beautiful indeed. Best 0ut . Im glad you have chosen this as best out. Its really fascinating. Yeah, little joe. It is really good, isnt it . Yes. I guess we could call it sci fi. Its kind of gently science fiction. Yeah, i dont know how to i dont know what to call it everyone in the newsroom was saying what is that film . And i said i actually dont know how to categorise it theyre the best ones, right . Yes. That you cant really, easily summarise although im not going to have to so its about two scientists. Theyre in a horticultural laboratory, they develop this genetically modified plant that has this scent, this revolutionary scent that can help with depression. But, of course, there are side effects. It can make you act in quite strange ways and it is a strange film. It is a seductive film and a strange film shot in a lot of really deep reds and hot pinks, this kind of wild, crazy cacophonous soundtrack going on as well, but i found it really intriguing. Yes Jessica Hausner is the director shes an austrian director. Reminded me a little bit of sort of 80s David Cronenberg films has that clinical quality about it. Very clinical and visually i mean, visually sort of almost perfect, but in a way it is, of course, too perfect, and thats deliberate and thats very clever, yes. Unsettling. Absolutely unsettling. I suppose ultimately, its about our reliance on prescription drugs and pills and things to try to make us feel better, to try to make us think we are worthwhile and were good people and good parents. But certainly not like anything ive seen before. A quick thought about a dvd for anyone who wants to stay in this weekend . Yeah, black and blue. Naomi harris, one of ourfinest. 0h, love her . Who morphs seamlessly into a new orleans cop in this movie, investigating police corruption. And theres a lot of interesting things about the city in this new orleans, of course, has had plenty of problems over the years, a lot about racism in the city, about the relationship between cops and locals in the city, but ultimately for me, it is her lead performance that makes it, because she isjust such a presence. Fantastic. Well, lovely to see you, james you too thank you very much, indeed thank you. And thanks for watching and enjoy your cinema going, whatever you choose to see. See you next time. Bye bye hello. This is breakfast with Nina Warhurst and rogerjohnson. Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. Former nhs workers could be brought out of retirement to help fight the coronavirus if the outbreak gets worse here. The governments drawn up a range of contingency plans, which could also see the limit on School Class Sizes relaxed if a lot of teachers are off sick. The number of people with the virus in the uk has now reached 23. More than 200 british holidaymakers who have been quarantined at a hotel in tenerife for nearly a week will be allowed to fly home in the coming days if they test negative for the coronavirus. Around 700 guests have been kept inside the hotel since tuesday, when four italian tourists were found to have the infection. The home secretary priti patel is being urged to answer allegations that she bullied and swore at staff. It comes after the resignation of the home offices most senior Civil Servant, sir Philip Rutnam, who claimed hed been victimised. The home secretary hasnt responded to his resignation but downing street says the Prime Minister has full confidence in his cabinet. The Prime Minister and his girlfriend, Carrie Symonds, are engaged and expecting their first child together. Miss symonds made the announcement on instagram yesterday, hours after sir Philip Rutnams resignation. Former chancellor sajid javid tweeted to say it was wonderful news. But labour mp Florence Eshalomi queried the timing, saying it was convenient. Services on the Northern Rail network are under public control from this morning, following years of poor performance. Its operator, arriva rail north, was stripped of the franchise after mounting delays and overcrowding. The transport secretary grant shapps says its the start of a new era but there will be no quick fix for the problems endured by passengers. Services on the Northern Rail network are under public control data from the met office has confirmed that the uk has just endured the wettest february since records began. An average of 202 millimetres of rain thats nearly 8 inches fell last month. That beats the previous record of 193 millimetres, set in february 1990. Bring on the spring. It has felt like a very long winter. Very tough for a lot of people as well. The end ofa run for a lot of people as well. The end of a run for liverpool. It has been a good winter for liverpool. They drew against Manchester United in october and one pretty much everything else. For the First Time Since last january, theyve lost a premier league match. Sorry to interrupt. They would have been only human if they thought we could go through the season like arsenal did all those years ago, unbeaten. It was the fact that you didnt see it coming. Liverpool have been playing so well and such good foot poll that it wasntjust been playing so well and such good foot poll that it wasnt just the fa ct foot poll that it wasnt just the fact that they lost. They were probably hard push to go through a whole season without losing a game, but just the manner of their defeat was pretty shocking. To do it against watford a team struggling right at the bottom. The First Time Since last january they lost a premier league match. Still 22 points clear of Manchester City at the top though if thats any consolation. Liverpools defeat does make the fight for survival very interesting. Nick parrott has more on that and the best of the rest of the days action. Watford needed three points more than liverpool did. The premier league title is as good as on its way to merseyside. Becoming the first team tim be the champions lake this season could be a turning point in watfords fight for survival. They dominated at vicarage road to such an extent liverpool only managed a single shot on target. Their first managed a single shot on target. Theirfirst goal managed a single shot on target. Their first goal might have been a bit scrappy, but record signing is malliciah followed that up with something far more worthy of his £27 million pricetag will stop this was the finish that finished off liverpool. No comebacks this time, there 44 unbeaten run finally over. Captain troy deeneys struyck was the icing on the cake for watford, lifting them out of the regular relegation zone on goal difference. Weve got ten games left, we are in a battle with five, six other clubs. Weve got to do it ourselves, we are capable of doing it ourselves. But what we cant do is have a performance as good as this and then not try to reproduce it. West ham united also jumped out of the bottom three. A goalkeeping error sparked their downfall against liverpool last monday, but they made no m ista kes last monday, but they made no mistakes as they beat southhampton 31. Mistakes as they beat southhampton 3 1. They are now level on points with watford and bournemouth, who dropped into the relegation zone after slipping up at home to chelsea. The cherries had come from behind to lead 2 1, but Marcos Alonso came to chelseas rescue with the equaliser five minutes from the end. And brighton arejust a point above the bottom three after losing 102 above the bottom three after losing 1 02 crystal palace. Rangers are out of the scottish cup. They lost 1 0 at hearts in their quarterfinal. 0liver bozanic with the only goal midway through the second half. Aberdeen are through to the last four, they beat st mirren 2 0. Chelsea lifted the Womens League cup for the first time and did it in the most dramatic way too. Two minutes into stoppage time, beth england scored the winner to beat five time champions arsenal 2 1 in nottingham. Chelsea are still unbeaten in the league too and remain on course for a domestic treble. And just before we move on from the football, there was a meeting of the games rulermakers in belfast yesterday which could see changes to the offside and handball laws. Such areas of contention following the introduction of var, ifab say theyll look at ways to foster the spirit of attacking play. We could be hearing a lot about the t shirt line going forward, with anything below that mark being handball. Anything above, play on. Also they are going to trial concussion substitutes probably first at this summers 0lympics. It is the t shirt, where this sleaze finish. It is the shoulder. Always make sure you wear a t shirt. Foster the spirit of attacking play. That is where var has been so controversial. The rules of the rules and there is nothing that var can do about it, but we want to see more goals, basically, that was the ciux more goals, basically, that was the crux of it. I will move onto cricket. A big game for england this morning as they face west indies at the womens t20 world cup. Theyve won two of their three group games so far a third victory would almost guarantee a place in the semi finals defeat would mean they have to rely on other results. Bowler Anya Shrubsole says they know what they are up against today. They are a side that weve come unstuck against a few times and welcome competition. So we know they are welcome competition. So we know they a re really welcome competition. So we know they are really talented. They have plenty of much honours all the way through their lineup. 0bviously at sydney, ground neither of us will have played out, potentially, spreading it to be on the slower side than it has been here. We know if we play our best cricket we will be in with a good chance in the game. Britains Heather Watson has won her first tour tennis title for almost four years. She saw off the canadian Leylah Annie Fernandez in three sets at the mexican 0pen. The british number two will now go back into the worlds top 50 and seemed to be getting into the acapulco spirit with that sombrero. Harlequins moved into the top half of rugby unions premiership surprising leaders exeter in the dying moments at the stoop. Trailing deep into added time, and with a man advantage, quins were awarded a penalty try, giving them a 3k points to 30 win and bonus point too. Leicester and saracens also won yesterday. And that is all. I will have more in the next hour. Good stuff. Thank you. Lets talk now about Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe, the british woman detained in iran since 2016, accused of spying which she denies. Nazanins husband, richard, has previously warned about the impact its having on his wifes mental health. Now he believes she may also have contracted coronavirus. Richard joins us now from our london newsroom. Good morning to you. Thank you for talking to us this morning. What makes you think this might be the case . There have been a number of cases of coronavirus in the present that people are suspecting. 0bviously coronavirus has swept all through iran and nazanin has been showing a number of symptoms. The present has stopped taking any more prisoners in. Nazanin has been coughing and has a temperature, alongside a number of other settlements. It is refusing to tester. They can sit here and say sure she has it, at i think she properly has an i certainly think she should be tested so there is reassurance she should be tested so there is reassurance ikard. She should be tested so there is reassurance ikard. The symptoms are consistent of those with coronavirus. You believe it is widespread in the area. Can you painta widespread in the area. Can you paint a picture of the cat she is receiving day to day . Paint a picture of the cat she is receiving daytoday . Shes receiving daytoday . Shes receiving any care. So the prison ran out of disinfectants and bleach and all cleaning materials at the beginning of last week and has gotten no medicine whatsoever in the prison clinic. So if you go to see the prison clinic then they will tell you it is a cold and you will get better and go away. They are clearly under orders not to tester. I suspect they havent got testing kits anyway. So it is a very worrying time for nazanin, for the other prisoners, and everyone watching on. For all of the families outside petitioning to have their loved ones come home. 0rdinary iranian prisoners. The judiciary loved ones come home. 0rdinary iranian prisoners. Thejudiciary has announced that all prisoners who are nonsecurity prisoners of a certain age can be allowed to leave temporarily, but nazanin doesnt qualify. So it is a very worrying time at qualify. So it is a very worrying time at i hope to goodness and she doesnt have it and if she does she gets better, but we are completely in the lap of the gods of the wood. It must be incredibly worrying to know she hasnt been tested. You are calling on iran to test her. Are you being well supported by them . There isa being well supported by them . There is a quest for the Foreign Office and the Prime Minister our request was that she needed to be tested as soon as possible. Nazanin has been held in prison for a number of years now. It should not have got to this point. The British Government last year invoke diplomatic protection, which should be taken seriously, by iran, but you have a situation where there is not even disinfected in the ward, then something is not working. The leader of the commons, jacob rees mogg, has said iranian authorities have denied the outbreak of rhinovirus at the prison, but said they should not a lwa ys the prison, but said they should not always ta ke the prison, but said they should not always take as authoritative such remarks. You feel in making a comment and then not taking action afterwards they are doing enough . think the British Government needs to be really clear, you know, as a top priority for all the british iranians being held unfairly in the prison that they get tested and they are proven to be safe. It needs to bea are proven to be safe. It needs to be a top priority of the embassy every day until it happens stop richard, thank you so much. They hope she gets tested and treated soon. Thank you. I hope. More than 83,000 people have been infected globally, with cases in at least 50 countries. Dr Margaret Harris is from the World Health Organization, which has raised its Risk Assessment of the virus to the top level of very high. She joins us from geneva. Thank you for talking to us on bbc brea kfast. Thank you for talking to us on bbc breakfast. If i could pick up on the point, i dont know how much of the previous interview heard with Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffes husband, she is in a jail in iran, how difficult and how concerned is the World Health Organization about how honest some countries may or may not be, because, as we know, not all nations are completely transparent. 0ne nations are completely transparent. One of the things on one of the reasons you have an organisation like that is we have a system, internally, yes, so the information may not be external, but internally where countries to report and are obliged to report transparently what is going on. You talk specifically about iran and they have requested that we send a team to look at what is going on and help them find better solutions. 0ne is going on and help them find better solutions. One of the struggles weve had getting that tea m struggles weve had getting that team in has been the shutdown of all the flights. So weve actually had logistical difficulties getting in. But all countries do report to us and they do share data, sometimes we have to push, but they do share data. So you have raised the threat level to very high was about as high as it goes on your scale. How concerned now should we be . Yes, thats why we raise the threat level to very high. Everybody should be concerned, but, and its a hard mommy so you should be concerned, but not panic. What we are saying is to every country, all the Public Health authorities, governments, the communities of every country, you must not just communities of every country, you must notjust get ready but be ready. All the things you need to do need to be in place. What sort of things are they . Look at your health system. Have you got enough nurses and doctors, have you got the equipment, have you got back up for not nurses and doctors. Have you arranged for replacement teams . Have you thought of a place where people who may have the virus and are still yet to be tested but you feel need to be isolated, have you got somewhere for them to go . And if you ask people to stay at home, have you got means of ensuring they can get food, they can get care, they can get support . So all those things, which is what authorities in every country are tasked with doing need to be in place now. You would be aware of the nhs and the way it works here, what is your view, if indeed you have one, on the idea today that the government is thinking of asking retired nurses and doctors to make themselves available if required . Thats an excellent idea. These are people with fantastic experience, often very, very committed. This is a time when you call on that expertise. People may have retired for all sorts of reasons, to have children or because they have reached a certain age, but they are very able and very skilled and very ready to come and help stop and britain has a great record of when times are tough the community really comes together. Dr harris, we are grateful for you talking to us this morning. Dr Margaret Harris is from the world health World Health Organization, talking to us from geneva. She touched on it there. It is striking a balance between Public Awareness and making sure people dont panic. We have a special programme coming up we have a special programme coming up about coronavirus. To find out more about coronavirus, you can watch a bbc news special on monday evening on bbc one. Rachel burden and fergus walsh will be answering all of your questions in coronavirus everything you need to know. Thats monday evening at 7. 30 on bbc one. Let us have a look at the weather. The wettest february on record. We are into much now, but a lot of communities will be hoping to see the back of the rain. That looks a lot nicer. The met office have issued details about february being the wettest month on record and no surprise with the three storms, storm ciara brought a lot of rain and started this saturated ground and started this saturated ground and Rivers Running high and the following storms exacerbated the issue. There will be a chilly wind but sunshine. It will ease down through the day. The impacts of storm jorge on top of all the rain, has prompted 100 warnings for floods. Fairly strong gusty winds in the southern flank. Up to 65 Miles Per Hour in central and northern britain. Even some snow, pretty heavy snow in the north of england, across the pennine and scotland. This band will be moving north. We could see significant accumulation over the hills of scotland through the afternoon and it could cause issues on the road. Elsewhere a lot of sunshine around. Some eastern areas will stay dry altogether. Further west if you scattered showers, maybe some hail mixed in and it will feel quite cool. The strong wind easing through the day. Temperatures reaching single figures for most. We could manage 9 10 degrees across the south, southeast in sunny spots. This little feature ru ns in sunny spots. This little feature runs into southern britain bringing rain, sleet and snow. This could give rise to perhaps slushy accumulations over the hills. Further north, some ice to watch out for. Further south, not further north, some ice to watch out for. Furthersouth, not as further north, some ice to watch out for. Further south, not as cold but it could cause some issues across the south east for the monday morning rush. Bear that in mind. Stay tuned to the forecast. It should however clear away into the afternoon where you will see plenty of sunshine. Again, wintry flavour to the north with single figures. A little below seasonal average for early march. It we move through the week, no significant areas of low pressure affecting the British Isles may be just towards the north west this area of High Pressure pressure could settle things down. This area of Blood Pressure could arrive just in time for the following weekend. Throughout the week quite a bit of sunshine around. Wanted to showers, overnight frost and becoming u nsettled overnight frost and becoming unsettled as we get into the weekend. Slightly more optimistic weekend. Slightly more optimistic week ahead. Time now for the latest technology news. Heres click. The end of february every year is a big time for us. Having painstakingly planned for months and fought thousands of other journalists for access to the big stories, we head to barcelona for the mobile world congress. Its where the Big Companies launch their big new phones and the Small Companies show off clever new innovations that may one day change the world. Only this year, as you may know, mwc is off cancelled because of concerns over the spread of the coronavirus. Its proved a nightmare for the telecoms industry but our chris fox, who was due to cover it, thinks hes going to get a week off. However, not everyone has cancelled some companies have gone to barcelona anyway so ive got a bit of news for chris. The cancellation of mwc has been nothing short of a nightmare, especially for me i couldnt cancel my flights at such short notice and id been left stranded here in barcelona with no work to do. It turns out huawei hasnt cancelled its flights, either, and are still doing a press conference right now. With the venue already booked and huawei executive richard yu already in town, the company decided to do its launch event anyway. Only this time, it was pre recorded a day early and played out on the big screen. The big reveal was the follow up to its first folding phone. And here it is the folding huawei mate xs. If i open instagram here, theres some pictures of dogs, and if i open the phone out, the pictures expand to fill the view. One thing i cant show you is google maps, because the phone still doesnt have those google apps. In fact, huaweis now added its own app gallery, which it says will be a competitor to the Google Play App store. Snapchat, tiktok, they are on there, but some big ones are missing, of course. Now, one of the concerns with folding phones as that displays might be easily damaged because theyre flexible. Now, huawei says since the original mate x, it has made the screen more resistant. Although i have seen a display model with a big old scratch on it. Huawei says there will be cases available. Also revealed was a smart speaker. Here it is its called the soundex. All you do is tap the phone here to pair, and then you can play your music, including from spotify, because that is in the app gallery. So here we go. Loud music plays. Thats quite loud. Oh, no so one thing they did tell me is you can put your hand over it to silence the speaker if its too loud. And that should have silenced it then. Now, the company says the way the speakers here are configured is that one faces this way and one faces the other way so the vibrations cancel each other out. So they say you can turn it up twice as loud as the apple homepod without it vibrating itself off the table. And that was very loud. While were here, can we talk about huaweis product names . I mean, we have the matebook, the matepad pro, and the m pencil. I wonder where they got their inspiration from . 0n the outskirts of town, toothbrush giant 0ral b pressed on with an immersive dinner and light show experience. And if you are why wondering why a toothbrush company is at mobile world congress, well, the toothbrushes have bluetooth in them. 0bviously the new 0ral b i0 has a magnetic drive the company says is whisper quiet. Although to test that, ill have to go somewhere silent, and i knowjust the place usually at this time of year, this place is full of the worlds mobile phone industry but i cant think of a quieter place, this time, to test this toothbrush. So, here we go. Ill hold it the same distance from my mic, so this is the regular 0ral b. Whirring. Very noisy. And here is the new one. Different whirring. Also, fairly noisy. They said in their presentation that this is the toothbrush that whispers. I am not convinced that is a whisper. The ultimate test is, of course, whether you can hear it through the bathroom door and whether it will disturb your partner, so we tested that in the hotel and the resounding result of our very scientific test is, yes, you can still hear it through the bathroom door. Recently, it has been impossible to avoid 5g at mwc. Well, this year, you can, because there is no show, and so the city and these train halls are eerily silent. But one project looking to make its debut for this years event has still gone ahead, and its all happening below the surface. And before showgoers even reached mwc, they were going to experience the super fast mobile Network Coverage on the underground on the way there. The 5g Barcelona Initiative was set up to provide the city with the next generation of mobile broadband. Its currently available between four stations of barcelonas Train Service, including europa fira the closest station to where mwc takes place. But 5g isnt just available on the train platform. Its also available in the tunnel as the train travels, becoming one of the first in the world to do so. So lets just see how fast the coverage is down here. I was getting around 1. 1 gigabytes per second on average on the platform, but it was quite a bit lower when travelling on the train. The speed does differ between going down the tunnel and being in the station. Its slightly slower in the tunnel and it does vary. Sometimes it can be as high as 500 mbps or it can be as low as 170 but, saying that, you are still getting decent coverage down in a tunnel and it meant i could watch a bit of click with barely any loading time whatsoever. But how is this achieved . Well, we waited until the Train Service was closed so we could get into the tunnel and check out the 5g antenna. Each set of antennae are roughly 500 metres apart with 15 currently installed between four stations. But only vodafone provides 5g coverage in barcelona, and they own all the masts on the train line. But the plan is to do this for the entire train network. However, there is no clear date when this will happen. 5g requires more masts than Previous Network connections, so the setup can be quite complex. These are the first steps. Its very difficult for us to make all the installation at this moment. Its expensive. But we think it is a good investment for the city. But, until then, this 5g setup will act as a test lab for companies to create and test their apps both to improve the Railway Logistics and what travellers can do on their phones whilst on theirjourney. So it looks like 5g is becoming part of the daily commute here in barcelona, but we did hit a little bit of a problem. When testing the speeds of the 5g network, we hit the data limit we used about 10gb in about an hour, so youre probably wanting to switch to an unlimited plan this little keyboard wants to teach you how to read music. So many people come up to me and say oh, i really wish i had learned to play an instrument but its too late for me now, and i really dont think thats the case. Certainly, with some technology, it could be easier than you think to play your favourite song. Music company roli took me inside their hq to show me its prototype keyboard, a lumi a light up bluetooth device which aims to give everyone an opportunity to learn their favourite song. Now, light up keys are available on quite a few entry level keyboards but the lumi has multicoloured leds so it can make it easier to find where you are if all the c notes are, say, red, for example. Now, sheet music has stayed the same for hundreds of years, originating from writing down hand movements of the choir master. Rolis ceo, amongst others, feels its time to bring reading music into the 21st century. Still, most people today, when they learn how to play music, they learn to read music with a sort of traditional score. That is a quill based technology. Even the shapes of the notes, the fact they are not perfect circles, has to do with a quill pen and the way that you would write with that, and that kind of calligraphy from 400 or 500 years ago. And its remarkable that that form of notation and that system is still what we use today. The device connects to an ipad and with the help of an app and something that gives you a little bit more than just notes on a page. Theres an element of intimacy or even kind of privacy with the music learning experience. Like, if you have a lumi and the lumi app and put on your headphones, you are in your own learning world and you can go at your own pace and the app will give you feedback. Its just between you and the instrument, and you do not feel like necessarily that you are being judged in a way that you may if you had a teacher or your parents looking over your shoulder. Its likely the software may prove more lucrative than the hardware. Choose a song from a list of licensed partners and the app encourages people to learn to read that music. First, blocks that wait for you a bit like the game guitar hero. Then, you have to play in time, where the colours help you find the notes. And, finally, full blown, grown up score reading. I certainly found the device visually pleasing and felt the urge to customise the colours a feature that may soon become available. Bar a few latency issues, i think it is a clever, if slightly pricey way, to gamify learning music theory. Those with a little extra cash lying around can buy a few and link them together to get a longer keyboard. Regardless, im going to take the opportunity to encourage anyone who sees this to get on a piano, keyboard or any instrument. Because when it comes to learning, its never too late to start. And thats it for the shortcut of click for this week. The full length version is on iplayer. And its waiting for you right now. Dont forget we live on social media, on facebook, youtube, instagram and twitter at bbcclick. Thanks for watching and well see you soon. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and Nina Warhurst. 0ur headlines today retired doctors and nurses could be asked to return to the nhs under the governments new plan to tackle coronavirus. Pressure on the home secretary. Priti patel is accused of bullying staff by her departing departing Civil Service chief. Engaged and expecting a baby Boris Johnson and partner Carrie Symonds reveal a new arrival is due at number 10 in early summer. Good morning. Invincible no more. Liverpool are beaten in the premier league for the first time this season losing 3 0 at struggling watford. Good morning to you. It is the 1st of march today and the weather is looking a little bit quieter. Certainly quieter than yesterdays storm, which brought very strong winds and also heavy rain, which has led to dozens of flood warnings being issued across the country. Today is quieter, we will see more sunshine around, a few wintry showers, and here winds should start to ease down too. Join me laterfor all the details. Good morning. Its sunday, march 1. Our top story doctors could be brought out of retirement to help tackle coronavirus in the uk. Its one of a range of contingency measures being considered by the government if the outbreak worsens. There are currently 23 confirmed cases of the virus here. Andy moore reports. Willow bank school at wokingham in berkshire, were about 180 children in infant classes have been told to stay at home for the next few days. The head teacher wrote to parents saying a member of staff had been diagnosed with coronavirus. The school, she said, would be closed for deep cleaning. The staff member is one of three new cases announced yesterday by the chief medical officer. They had been overseas in italy and asia. Another case at haslemere in surrey is causing concern, because the person hadnt been abroad and its not known how they contracted the virus. The government says its ordered a so called war room to be convened in the Cabinet Office to roll out a new Public Information campaign. It also says its considering bringing retired Health Professionals back into the nhs. Longer term, home working may be encouraged and unnecessary travel discouraged. The total number of confirmed cases here in the uk is now 23. Italy is the worst hit country in europe, with over 1000 people infected and 29 deaths. In the us, one person has died in the state of washington, on the west coast, and there are fears of an outbreak among 50 people who are ill at a nursing home. Its been confirmed that one carer has the virus and an elderly woman is seriously ill. Additional cases in the United States are likely. But healthy individuals should be able to fully recover. And we think that will be a statement that we can make with great surety now that weve gotten familiar with this problem. At a hotel in tenerife, some guests have been allowed outside of china south korea is suffering one of the worst outbreaks. The army has swapped camouflage for white suits to disinfect this train station. The country recorded over 800 new cases yesterday, almost twice as many as china. Andy moore, bbc news. 0ur correspondent fiona trott is in tenerife this morning, where more than 200 british holidaymakers have been quarantined. They will be allowed to fly home in the coming days if they test negative for coronavirus. A very good morning to you, of fiona, good news for those who wa nted fiona, good news for those who wanted to come home so desperately. Thats right, yes, we understand arrangements are being made right now to bring these british guests at home. As you mentioned there, 232 of them have been staying here. The hotel was locked down on tuesday after four italian guests tested positive for coronavirus. But then this week Public Health england visited tenerife and all the british guests visited tenerife and all the british gu ests we re visited tenerife and all the british guests were considered to be low risk. Six have already left, we understand that the rest could leave soon. All day yesterday reduced guests here were queueing up outside a room to have a nasal swab for covid 19. Thats really important because that appeared to be the main barrier to getting them back home on a flight. 0ne company said that u nless a flight. 0ne company said that unless they had completed two weeks here or tested negative they could not be flown back. We understand that some of them may get their results as soon as today. If they get to the airport, dont have any symptoms, they should be able to fly home. So today could be a crucial day for them but when they get back they still have to self isolate until march ten. Many thanks. Similarly for those holidaymakers. There is so much information out there. To find out more about coronavirus, you can watch a bbc news special on monday evening on bbc one. Rachel burden and fergus walsh will be answering all of your questions in coronavirus everything you need to know. Thats monday evening at 7 30 on bbc one. 0pposition politicians are demanding that the home secretary priti patel answers allegations that she bullied and swore at staff. It comes after sir Philip Rutnam resigned as the home offices most senior Civil Servant, claiming he was subjected to a Vicious Campaign against him. 0ur Political Correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom. Helen, are we likely to hear anything from priti patel was yellow ms patel has not responded publicly to those claims from sir philip ruckman yesterday. And they were very strong, the things he included in that statement. She said the idea ofa in that statement. She said the idea of a vicious and orchestrated campaign against him, he said he did not believe that the home secretary was not involved in that. He also said he had received allegations that she had treated employees in ways including swearing, belittling people, making unreasonable and repeated demands. Ms patel has reassured denials that she gave about newspaper reports that suggested something similar, but she has not spoken publicly. Some of her allies privately suggesting that sir philipjust wasnt allies privately suggesting that sir philip just wasnt up to the job. Certainly, there are increasing calls for her to Say Something in public, specifically in parliament. Sir keir starmer, a leadership leader contender, wanted to make a statement in Parliament Tomorrow and he wants to see the allegations investigator. There have been calls from the shadow cabinet minister officer who wants to see Boris Johnson address the claims. There are johnson address the claims. There a re calls johnson address the claims. There are calls for some sort of response. While that may be, some people might feel that is giving the Prime Minister a headache, there is happy news for him and his partner, Carrie Symonds, with the news last night that they are going to be married and are expecting a baby. Yes, they are. This was posted on Carrie Symondss Instagram Page yesterday. Now, the timing of the announcement did raisea now, the timing of the announcement did raise a few eyebrows. If a baby is due in early summer now is about the time you would expect to be hearing about that and certainly there has been speculation in westminster. But the decision to announce yesterday afternoon after what had been a difficult morning for the did raise a few eyebrows at the time. In the grand scheme of things, though, we are due another downing street baby. Tony and cherie blair had their son leo in 2000, david and Samantha Cameron have florence in 2010, so 2020s is likely perfectly for a downing street baby. Just all those decades before that we never had one. Two very big jobs on his hands. Prime minister and a newborn. The Northern Rail network has been taken under government control this morning, following years of poor performance. The operator, arriva rail north, has been stripped of its franchise but transport secretary grant shapps says there will be no quick fix for the problems. Simonjones reports. Long suffering passengers branded the Service Northern fail delays, cancellation, overcrowding, strikes, and the introduction of a botched new timetable. They wanted to change and trains that run on time. Its really unreliable. Its late every day. Half of them dont turn up. Ijust find that i tend to work from home quite a bitjust to avoid the commute. Northern is a huge commuter network, from the midlands to northumberland, from lancashire to east yorkshire. But figures from the office of rail and road found only 55 of Northern Trains arrived at stations within a minute of the stated timetable in the past year. That compares with the average across britain of 65 . A recent survey by the passenger watchdog transport focus suggested thatjust 72 of northern passengers were satisfied with theirjourney. The company blamed external problems, such as rail infrastructure, but the government said passengers needed a service they could rely on and stripped it of its franchise five years earlier. Now trains will be run by the governments operator of last resort. The transport secretary, grant shapps, is calling it a new era for rail in the north, but hes warning there will be no quick fix. Hes set up a panel of local politicians and industry experts, and passenger representatives to draw up an action plan within100 days. The number one priority will be to ease overcrowding. Simon jones, bbc news. The former us Vice President , joe biden, has won the latest round of votes to become the democratic partys candidate to challenge donald trump in the president ial elections later this year. The results so far in the state of South Carolina indicate that mr biden has taken about 50 of the votes a critical result for his campaign after poor performances in earlier ballots. 13,000 migrants have gathered along turkeys border with greece, according to the un, after president erdogan vowed to open the door to europe for refugees. Turkey is hosting nearly four million Syrian Refugees, as well as migrants from other countries such as afghanistan but had previously stopped them from leaving for europe under a deal with the eu. The greek government has said it will do whatever it takes to protect its frontier. We are going to be talking about Boris Johnsons happy we are going to be talking about borisjohnsons happy news, new baby on the way, and also getting married to his partner Carrie Symonds in a moment. Butjust to his partner Carrie Symonds in a moment. But just before to his partner Carrie Symonds in a moment. Butjust before the. It has just it hasjust gone it has just gone ten plus seven. We have an update on the weather. Good morning to you. Good morning to you both. It is a chilly start out there. The effects of storm jorge has taken its toll. Flood warnings out there. Today is looking better. Sunshine and showers. Some wintry in nature and there will be a chilly winter. Going back to the flood warnings, there are about 100 or the uk, that comes after what the met 0ffice uk, that comes after what the met office has said is the wettest february on record. No surprise after a ll february on record. No surprise after all the weekend storms. Theres a storm jorge sitting to the north of the uk, weakening as it does so. On its southern flank, strong winds through the morning, gusts 50 60, perhaps more than that across the northern half of the country. It is feeding and showers, longer spells of rain, snow over the north pennines and southern and central scotland. It also snow into northern scotland. She was around with light speckles indicating snow on the hills of wales that showers. The rain, sleet, and snow, significant on the hills, ms north was across scotland. Elsewhere, not a bad day. Plenty of sunshine around. A few showers wintry in nature, in some parts may say die altogether. It will feel chilly out there. You factor in the wind which will be quite strong and ease down through the day. Temperatures will reach single figures for most, but could make nine or ten across the south east. That is around the seasonal average across the south or early march. Through this evening and into tonight, this feature runs in across southern britain, bringing a mixture of rain, perhaps lead and wet snow on its back edge as it continues to pivot around and moving towards the south east by the end of the night. Further north, mostly clear skies, if you wintry showers, there will be frost or ice to watch out for. Not a skull further south because of the loud and rain. This could cause a few issues for the morning commute across the south east. Could see a little bit of sleet, wet snow, mainly to the hills. It should clear away quite smartly to the morning into the afternoon. Another bright, sunny day for many with a few showers, wintry again in nature. Affecting Western Areas. The winners will be lighter but it will be a chilly day, six ninths degrees. If they run the pressure sequence as we have through the new week, you will see we dont see significant areas of low pressure affecting the uk, the high may settle things down for the southern half of the country, more rain across scotland and northern ireland. By the end of the week into the next weekend we could be looking at another spell of wet and windy weather. Through this week it is not looking too bad. Quite a bit of dry and sunny weather around, on the cool side, then it will turn milder, wet and windy, perhaps as we head into the new we can. You will have to stay tuned to the forecast. Thank you. Almost spring. Its on its way. The last time a serving Prime Minister got divorced and then remarried while in office was more than 250 years ago. It looks like Boris Johnson is set to follow suit. Yesterday his girlfriend Carrie Symonds revealed that theyre engaged and also expecting theirfirst child. Lets speak now to borisjohnsons biographer, sonia purnell, who joins us from paris. Good morning to you, sonia. Exciting news for the Prime Minister and his partner. It is not the first time he is set to become a dad. You have worked with him in the past, how would he have received this news . am please for both of them. It is exciting news. And congratulations, particularly for carrie, have a child. We dont know how many children the Prime Minister had because he wont tell us. Some people say it is anything up to 12. But we simply dont know. It is great news, but it shouldnt distract us from all the serious things that are going on at the moment. Im in, the coronavirus, the floods, we are coming up to the great negotiations on brexit, we have the civil war breaking out at the centre of government is we shouldnt let this news distract us because what happens with all the other issues is what affects us, the rest of the nation very much indeed. Tony blair has said that having a newborn baby and being a minister was very challenging. We now are negotiating the final brexit deal so. Negotiating the final brexit deal so. Thats negotiating the final brexit deal so. Thats right. The baby is due in summer when the crunch time for the brexit deal is due. It was sherees fourth baby as well. And tony blair had been Prime Minister for three years. Cherie. He also had nothing like the crisis that mr johnson has. A baby, a wedding, having only just got johnson has. A baby, a wedding, having onlyjust got divorced, he does not stand still very long. They are nappy changing kind of guys, tony blair but will borisjohnson be the same . When i was writing his biographies, everyone said theyve never seen him change are nappy or do the regular kind of things. He could be great fun and play a game and then disappear. I remember talking to someone who said seemed borisjohnson at talking to someone who said seemed Boris Johnson at the supermarket and marina was carrying the baby and doing the shopping and borisjohnson was on the phone. We have all been in situations like that. Kerry symons has a career of her own. You may have to pull his weight when she wa nts to may have to pull his weight when she wants to go back to work. He may well have to pull his weight. In normalfamilies, it well have to pull his weight. In normal families, it is what you want and would expect. Of course, been Prime Minister is not a normaljob. And being a Prime Minister right now really is not. We reiterate again, we do have the threat of coronavirus right now, we have these serious floods with people s livelihoods and lives in danger, the crunch time of brexit negotiation at the time the baby is due, and we have chaos breaking out at the centre of government so the Prime Minister has an extraordinary amount of really quite challenging stuff to deal with in his in tray and i am sure he will not forget that but nor should we. 0ne not forget that but nor should we. One could argue that a wedding and a newborn can be quite healing and positive. Yes, who does not like a wedding and a baby . Of course, that is lovely but as a journalist and biographer, you cannot forget the context in which this is happening. I think we have to be. We have to celebrate and be happy and wish them both the best of luck but we cannot forget that the rest of the country is facing a really, really challenging time. Interesting politically. The sunday times saying what a good day to announce a number 10 baby while the home secretary is under the spotlight, when he has just lost the chancellor. What do you think of the exact timing . You could speculate on the timing but it is interesting though that labour have already been calling him a part time Prime Minister. He has serious allegations against priti patel, reports that demonstrate intent to get rid of the cream of the Civil Service, we are led to believe there is chaos in the house of government stop these do not look good for borisjohnson and his administration which is only seven months old. It is. Some people could say the story has been put out now as a distraction but on the other side of that, it is not the kind of news that you can withhold philon for obvious reasons. So you have to take that into account. For obvious reasons. We wish them both the best. Youre watching breakfast. Time now for a look at todays newspapers the sunday times leads on what it calls the open warfare between the home secretary priti patel and the former Civil Servant sir Philip Rutnam, who resigned yesterday after accusing her of bullying staff. The sunday mirror features the engagement and pregnancy news from the Prime Minister borisjohnson and his partner Carrie Symonds. Carrie to go into labour is its headline. The mail on sunday reports on a leaked e mail by a senior government advisor who says the uk doesnt need its own farming and fishing industry but could rely on imports, like singapore. And online the Seattle Times is running a live page on coronavirus after the outbreak caused its first death in the United States. It says the patient who died was a man in his fifties in washington state. Anand menon is a professor of european politics and Foreign Affairs at Kings College london. What stories have you found inside the papers, anand . Continuing the coronavirus story. This goes back to what you were talking about is that the Prime Minister has been criticised for being a little bit absent, not only when it comes to coronavirus but also the floods and this is an attempt numberio to also the floods and this is an attempt number 10 to show that steps necessary been taken by government and there is a balancing act because you want to show you are prepared and on the other hand you do not wa nt and on the other hand you do not want to start panic so the government needs to deal with this. Perhaps rethink some aspects of its media tactics. In a crisis like this, you need to communicate. We talk to the world health 0rganization talk to the World Health Organization in the last half and they were saying many countries including britain taking all the right steps behind the scenes. Absolutely but part of it is about reassurance. The Prime Minister is not going to avoid any expert advice but it is a question of betraying an image of being calm and in control and that this story feeds into that. We have created the infrastructure and notes about getting the message out. So much of it is relying on people listening, taking the advice, recognising the symptoms, self isolating and that can feel risky. Not panicking unduly, self isolating. Because they could have economic repercussions but also behind the scene this is a logistical challenge. Hospitals will need to be thinking about whether they have the right number of respirators, oxygen, people need to predict how quickly this will spread and patient numbers and it is a massive task behind the scenes and the Prime Minister needs to give a sense of being in control. Sorry, i am rustling papers and making a real nice trying to find the next story. Ican nice trying to find the next story. I can tell you what it is. New to thejob, the new chancellor after what happened to sajid javid but because of coronavirus could be a change in the budget. This budget is ten days away and it is testament to what else is going on that there is so what else is going on that there is so little about it in the papers. What we do not know. What we do not know is whether they would have taken not know is whether they would have ta ken account of not know is whether they would have taken account of a potential coronavirus impact. If there is an impact it could be significant and will affect things like spending plans. The chancellor has a hard task stop on the one hand it is an interesting budget because of taurus have talked a lot about levelling up, investing in the north tories. But now you are hearing about the government getting rid of an incentive that allows entrepreneurs to pay less on Capital Gains and the rumours are that the government will use that money to invest in the north. But the conservative businesses are saying we to invest in a business so it will be a very interesting budget, made all the harder if there is a coronavirus impact. We saw the way the markets have gone down in the past week. We will not know how much they can promise but that tension around sajid javid is the way theyre using the purse strings. Sajid javid has come out saying he was going to cut income tax which is not precisely what his successor would want to hear because it makes him look like tax because a traditional tory methods. It will be really interesting. This was easy to find. Too many cc in inboxes. The average uk Office Worker starts every monday morning facing how many e mails in their inbox . Every monday morning facing how many emails in their inbox . For me it is probably 500. Really i am not merely as popular. Maybe i spent the weekend deleting them. 1600 surely everyone gets this that everyone cc things. One of the best thing i ever heard, a company on the continent that has a policy, you go away and you do your out of office. There is a company that if you have an out of office, the e mails get deleted and never appear office, the e mails get deleted and neverappear in your office, the e mails get deleted and never appear in your inbox so you do not have that horrible moment when you have been away for two weeks and you have been away for two weeks and you have. Thousands and thousands of them. It also says that people get fed up and delete them without reading them. Yes, that can happen as well. Thank you very much indeed. I bet you get loads of e mails . delete them instantly. Were on the bbc news channel until 9 00 this morning. I have hancock on the programme. And also a response to the british proposal and also Richard Brogan fighting for the deputy leadership for labour. Some wonderful music and a cracking paper review. Thank you very much. Look forward to seeing you later. Another weekend, another storm. Much of the uk was soaked byjorge in the past few days and before him, storms ciara and dennis helped to make february the wettest on record. One area to feel the brunt of all that rain is east yorkshire. 0livia richwald sent this report from the village of snaith. We thought we would wait because this is totally unprecedented and event at god knows what time in the morning, you have to get out. So, here we. Resident sandbag their homes as they prevent to have more homes as they prevent to have more homes inundated. The wettest february since records began. Where iam standing february since records began. Where i am standing is half a mile from the nearest river. The fields are designed to flood but the sheer amount of water this time just overwhelmed the mad made defences and loaded the town and now there is no if that water to go. U nfortu nately no if that water to go. Unfortunately the level no if that water to go. U nfortu nately the level scott no if that water to go. Unfortunately the level scott so high, some of the barrier banks, also have operator, we need to find out exactly why this happened. Volu nteers out exactly why this happened. Volunteers in snaith are providing ten coffee, food and clothing. Two people who have experienced the flooding in snaith first hand are kevin and catherine lorryman. Their home was almost completely submerged. We first saw kevin and catherine on breakfast yesterday, when we were filming in snaith. And from birmingham we can talk to paul cobbing, the chief executive of the National Flood forum a charity which helps people at risk of flooding. How are you . The pictures are just pa rt how are you . The pictures are just part breaking of your home. We have committed to the fact that is gone and we have been trying to go and help other people. We are settled, got the family safe. That is your house on the right . Yes. It has been amazing. Nothing we can do for now so we amazing. Nothing we can do for now so we just want to help everybody else and the community has been absolutely fabulous. They really have and Government Departments have been that 24 hours a day. It is amazing to hear. We have heard criticism from other areas about the response and in some cases the lack of it so it is great to hear, although you have been in a terrible situation, you feel you have been supported. Definitely. Give us some exa m ples supported. Definitely. Give us some examples the Community Support . Supported. Definitely. Give us some examples the Community Support7m was my granddaughters Birthday Party yesterday and she lost everything and they were 150 present dropped off for her. The two younger do not understand what is going on at the moment. They have seen the pictures. 0ne moment. They have seen the pictures. One said, that is our house, can we ta ke one said, that is our house, can we take the water back to the sea now. Take the water back to the sea now. Bless him. Really, they do not understand. We have had other things delivered and i would like to say thank you but, please, now stop it is about everybody else as well. Some of the stuff we got is going to go into the community, we have had cash donations and we will put that in the fund because we are fortunate and we are insured and some people are not and they will need some help. You are an absolute inspiration. Has snaith ever seen anything like this before . It was actually worse than. But there was less to damage. Now it has got to similar levels with all the protection in. We were there helping out in 2000 as well. It is a known thing in snaith and the outlying villages. Some of whom have had to fend for themselves. 0n the other side of the river, in particular, we have friends there. We feel they have friends there. We feel they have been left and they have been fighting this longer than us. Let us bring paul coming in from the National Flood forum. We heard there the incredible triumph of human spirit at times like this, but so painful for so spirit at times like this, but so painfulfor so many spirit at times like this, but so painful for so many families at the moment. It is amazingly painful. I have been on our advice line calls a lot of this week and, frankly, some of the calls are really horrific. You hear people from, people where they are uninsured or their insurance is not what they expected, ora insurance is not what they expected, or a total shock for people who live in places they didnt think were at risk of flooding and suddenly it hits them. And we try to support people and get out of that. But there are some horrific stories. People are very distressed. We have a really good description of of how people feel shock at first, then sort of get their act together and move on and you have to treat each day as a separate day. Deal with different issues as each day comes along. It is a genuine trauma for people. Some of the victims they have spoken to say their worry now is that it isnt a one off and it could be happening every year, perhaps a twice perhaps twice a year. It is the new normal. I have a colleague of mine who has now been flooded for the third time this year. I got the text last night. They have flooded many times. And we need to think about how we are going to approach this, because building biggerflood defences to approach this, because building bigger flood defences may to approach this, because building biggerflood defences may work in some areas but it will not be the a nswer everywhere some areas but it will not be the answer everywhere and we need to think what level of risk are we prepared to accept and what are the things we really need to focus on . So, for example, it mentions the outlying villages to snaith, around there, it is actually quite difficult to get funding for small groups of houses, both in rural and urban areas, where the benefit cost doesnt add up. So the small scale funding, the partnership funding, does not work for those people. We need to see that change. Ok. Thank you. For what paul is saying, the way things have got to be, for you kevin, catherine, im sure paul hears from very distressed. You seem so hears from very distressed. You seem so stoic and so typically british, i suppose. It is inspirational. What does the future hold down for you both . Weve just got to start. The next step is it has stabilised, if we can get that out of there, they are pumping out millions of gallons of water. The Environment Agency company fire brigade, all the Emergency Services are still there stop they will get rid of this, but there is a cleanup operation. The town council have told me they are already planning that. We have local companies who have offered assistance going forward. But i also think that other communities, including ours, cannot be forgotten about in two days people time, in a weeks time. We need action, we need help. We wish you all the best. You so much for coming in. Thank you. All the best with your recovery. Thank you. Were on the bbc news channel until 9 00 this morning. But this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. Hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and Nina Warhurst. Good morning, heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. Former nhs workers could be brought out of retirement to help fight the coronavirus if the outbreak gets worse here. The governments drawn up a range of contingency plans, which could also see the limit on School Class Sizes relaxed if a lot of teachers are off sick. The number of people with the virus in the uk has now reached 23. More than 200 british holidaymakers who have been quarantined at a hotel in tenerife for nearly a week will be allowed to fly home in the coming days if they test negative for the coronavirus. Around 700 guests have been kept inside the hotel since tuesday, when four italian tourists were found to have the infection. The home secretary priti patel is being urged to answer allegations that she bullied and swore at staff. It comes after the resignation of the home offices most senior Civil Servant, sir Philip Rutnam, who claimed hed been victimised. The home secretary hasnt responded to his resignation but downing street says the Prime Minister has full confidence in his cabinet. The Prime Minister borisjohnson and his partner, Carrie Symonds, are engaged and expecting their first child together. Miss symonds made the announcement on instagram yesterday, hours after sir Philip Rutnams resignation. Former chancellor sajid javid tweeted to say it was wonderful news. But labour mp Florence Eshalomi queried the timing, saying it was convenient. Services on the Northern Rail network are under public control from this morning, following years of poor performance. Its operator, arriva rail north, was stripped of the franchise after mounting delays and overcrowding. The transport secretary grant shapps says its the start of a new era but there will be no quick fix for the problems endured by passengers. The former us Vice President , joe biden, has won the latest round of votes to become the democratic partys candidate to challenge donald trump in the president ial elections later this year. The results so far in the state of South Carolina indicate that mr biden has taken about 50 of the votes a critical result for his campaign after poor performances in earlier ballots. 13,000 migrants have gathered along turkeys border with greece according to the un, after president erdogan vowed to open the door to europe for refugees. Turkey is hosting nearly four million Syrian Refugees, as well as migrants from other countries such as afghanistan but had previously stopped them from leaving for europe under a deal with the eu. The greek government has said it will do whatever it takes to protect its frontier. Data from the met office has confirmed that the uk has just endured the wettest february since records began. An average of 202 millimetres of rain thats nearly 8 inches fell last month. That beats the previous record of 193 millimetres, set in february 1990. It has just felt endless, it has been endless throughout february, the rain. Rather like, tenuous link, liverpools winning record. But it is over. 422 days was their unbeaten run in the premier league. The second longest in professional football. They won 18 straight games, equalled the premier League Record held by Manchester City then they drew with Manchester United earlier on in the season, before that they had won their last 17. It has been incredible what you can plots tea m has been incredible what you can plots team has been up to. They did lose yesterday. It was an uncharacteristic performance. Not since january 3rd 2019 had liverpool lost in the league but they came unstuck against watford last night. Managerjurgen klopp said it felt exceptionally average to be beaten as they were but they might be comforted still by their massive lead at the top. It helps watfords fight against relegation too although a number of other teams helped their cause at the bottom too as nick parrott reports. Watford needed three points more than liverpool did. The premier league title is as good as on its way to merseyside. Becoming the first team to beat the champions elect this season could be a turning point in watfords fight for survival. They dominated at vicarage road to such an extent liverpool only managed a single shot on target. Their first goal might have been a bit scrappy, but record signing ismaila sarr followed that up with something far more worthy of his £27 million pricetag. This was the finish that finished off liverpool. No comebacks this time, their 44 unbeaten run finally over. Captain troy deeneys strike was the icing on the cake for watford, lifting them out of the relegation zone on goal difference. Weve got ten games left, we are in a battle with five, six other clubs. Weve got to do it ourselves and were capable of doing it ourselves. But what we cant do is have a performance as good as this and then not try to reproduce it. West ham united also jumped out of the bottom three. A goalkeeping error sparked their downfall against liverpool last monday, but they made no mistakes as they beat southampton 3 1. Theyre now level on points with watford and bournemouth, who dropped into the relegation zone after slipping up at home to chelsea. The cherries had come from behind to lead 2 1, but Marcos Alonso came to chelseas rescue with the equaliser five minutes from the end. And brighton are just a point above the bottom three after losing 1 0 crystal palace. Nick parrott, bbc news. Rangers boss Steven Gerrard said he didnt recognise his team after they were dumped out of the scottish cup by hearts. They went down 1 0 in their quarterfinal. 0liver bozanic scored the winner midway through the second half. Aberdeens 2 0 win over st mirren takes them into the last four. Chelsea lifted the Womens League cup for the first time and did it in the most dramatic way too. Two minutes into stoppage time, beth england scored the winner to beat five time champions arsenal 2 1 in nottingham. Chelsea are still unbeaten in the league too and remain on course for a domestic treble. And if you were getting frustrated by all this talk about armpits and the offside rule with var footballs rulemakers could be making changes to the handball rule too. Get ready to hear more about the t shirt line that defines what is handball and what isnt. Its all to do with fostering the spirit of attacking play. Also they are going to trial concussion substitutes probably first at this summers 0lympics. They will try to put it somewhere about midway up. It is asking for trouble, it depends on the t shirt. There was an african team, cameron, who wore sleeveless shirts during the african cup of nations. Everything becomes a handball. There are also looking at potentially implementing concussion substitutes which we have seen work really well in rugby for which we have seen work really well in rugbyfora which we have seen work really well in rugby for a few years now. The limpets could be the first trial for that. We will look to see how bad those. What is the armpit rule . It is to define and offside, they have been using, basically it has to be a pa rt been using, basically it has to be a part of the body that can score a goal. If someones armpit is in front of the last defender, im not going to. I have loss you already. Lost. They have been measuring really close offside is from an attackers armpit. Really close offside is from an attackers armpit. Who knew . It has been infuriating fans all over the country. Cricket next. Theres what could be a decisive match for england at the womens t20 world cup this morning. South africa have just beaten pakistan and that means if england beat the west indies they will be through to the semifinals. Theyre a side that weve come unstuck against a few times and word cup competition. So we know theyre really talented. They have plenty of match winners all the way through their lineup. Obviously, its sydney, a ground neither of us will have played at, potentially, expecting it to be on the slower side than it has been here. But we know if we play our best cricket we will be in with a good chance of winning that game. British number two Heather Watson has won her first tour tennis title for almost four years. She saw off the canadian Leylah Annie Fernandez in three sets at the mexican 0pen winning the match on her 10th match point. Watson will return to the worlds top 50 next and might need a bigger suitcase if she wants to bring that sombrero home. Harlequins moved into the top half of rugby unions premiership surprising leaders exeter in the dying moments at the stoop. Trailing deep into added time, and with a man advantage, quins were awarded a penalty try, giving them a 34 points to 30 win and bonus point too. Leicester and saracens also won yesterday. Tommy fleetwoods looking good for his first win on the us pga tour. Hes got a one shot lead going into the final round of the honda classic in florida. Hes on five under par with lee westwood and luke donald a couple of shots behind. Three englishmen right in contention in america and the weather looks better than it does here. Just a bit. Quite helpful link. He knows what he is doing. Heres stav with a look at this mornings weather. Things might be improving slightly . Things are looking a bit better. No deep area of low pressure next week at another spell of wind and rain coming up. Today a little bit quieter. Still quite a chilly wind out that with some sunshine but still wintry show is about particularly in the north. More heavy rain exacerbated Flooding Issues and currently we have over 100 flood warnings in force across the uk. Storm jorge the third storm of the month. February has been called the wettest on record. Gusty winds this morning across central and northern areas, feeding showers, longer spells of rain and significant snow on the hills. Blizzard drifting in areas and there are warnings in force. As that continues throughout the day, tending to become more confined towards central and southern scotland. A bit on the Western Islands as well. Plenty of sunshine further south. Showers, wintry flavour. The winds will be a feature but they will continue to ease down as the day wears on. In the sunshine, temperatures reaching 9 10 degrees in the south east. Wet weather missing across the south of the country bringing a spell of rain, perhaps sleet and snow as it continues to pivot and move across southern england through the course of the night. Further north, clear spells, further wintry showers and a touch of frost. Watch out for ice. Less cold in the south because of the cloud and rain. The monday morning commute, could be tricky in the south, south east. Rain and sleet will clear away leaving plenty of sunshine around with showers mainly in the north and west. 6 9d will be the height, which is around ora will be the height, which is around or a little below the seasonal average. 0n or a little below the seasonal average. On thursday, this area of low pressure could settle things down. More rain to the north of the country. This is a feature i was talking about, the next area of low pressure bringing wet and windy weather. This is as we reached the following weekend. Some sunshine and wa nted following weekend. Some sunshine and wanted to showers, on the cool side but the winds will be lighter before it can turn wetter and windier into next weekend. Your weather watcher pictures are making me crave a trip to the seaside. I have had enough of these storms. On that note, we can offer you a trip to sign their site with the travel show. We will be back after this. We begin this week in north east argentina, and the second largest wetland in the whole of south america, ibera. A generation ago, this environment was under threat. Hunting as well as Rapid Coastal development caused much of the areas wildlife to disappear, but now the outlook is a lot sunnier. Ibera has become a National Park under the protection of the ngo called the Conservation Land trust. Today, lots of native species are thriving, including wild pampas deer and these giant guinea pigs capybara. But theres still lots more work to be done. Now one of the continents most feared and revered predators is returning to ibera. Im on my way to find out how thats going to happen. Welcome to estancia, san alonso, the island home of rewilding argentina a project aiming to re introduce this beautiful, terrifying animal to the wild. Oh my. Guys, this is. When you make eye contact with a beast this size, your heartjust goes. Shes isa, shes a brazilian panther, orjaguar. Shes about six years old. Yeah, shes quite young. And how will the wetlands benefit from introducing this beautiful animal . These animals were part of this ecosystem. They have been here for hundreds and thousands of years. They disappeared from the wetlands, and now this ecosystem is lacking from this top predator. And, of course, we need to maintain the prey populations in natural numbers, and not making them increase so much. Im allowed into the enclosure to prepare isas meal. 0k, weve got one hanging fish, weve got one piece of mystery meat. Ready to go . She looks a little bit. Little annoyed. Normally i dont think food arrives this late. If we look here, theres two trapdoors, and ivejust been granted permission to open them. Wait. Which one do we open . Both of them . I dont want to open the wrong one. No, the blue one. The blue one . We open that door. Ok, so, im. When she makes the whistle, then you can open. 0k. Whistles wow, ok, here she comes, entering into the feed enclosure. Weve hung the fish up, lets see if she can find it. 0h thats a predator, ladies and gentlemen. Wow and breakfast is served. So, talia, this jaguar is not going to be put back in the wild . No, she was donated to our project as a breeder. These animals that come from captivity, they cannot be released. As you saw, they relate humans with food, so if they live free and saw a human, they would go directly to ask for food, and thats not what we want. Talia hopes isa will breed with their other captive jaguar, a reclusive male called nahuel. Nearby, two cubs born to another female are being prepared for release. Im going to ask a question im sure everyone at home, including myself, wants to know the answer to. Can we see a babyjaguar . Im sorry to tell you we wont see one. But there are some here . Yes, right behind us, but theyre in another special enclosure where you will see some black meshes, so they cant see people and they dont relate people to food. But we can see them with the cameras. This is a female and shes in her swimming pool. Is this. This is one right here . Yeah, there, you can see. You have a good eye. Thank you. And when they are released, what do you hope will happen . Well, we are all very anxious to get to that moment. We expect them to stay close to this place, to the protected area, to find their food here and their home here. We expect them to reproduce and have more cubs, and it will be successful if that happens. I think it will be time to say that the ibera ecosystem is complete again, as it used to be in the past. Including the cubs, a total of five jaguars are set for release, signalling the return of the wetlands most iconic beast. And if you want to keep track of the process, rewilding argentina posts regular updates on its social media pages. And to end this week, we go from wetlands to islands. 0rkney is ten miles north of mainland scotland. Every winter, islanders and tourists come together for the annual storytelling festival, celebrating the areas folklore traditions. This story takes place on the island of stronsay, one of the north isles in 0rkney. It involves a young lady. You dont see so many fairies around the west mainland any more, there is a reason for that. She could make her own choices about who she married, and she owned everything. Stories have been around as long as language has been around, and these stories are very much part of our cultural identity, part of what makes 0rcadians 0cadians. 0rkney is quite a unique place, you know, we have 5000 year old villages still standing. You know, stone circles. Just standing on a shore, watching huge breakers rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean is really quite hypnotic. Violent, but peaceful at the same time. It was always the ever present risk and danger from the sea, that has a Strong Influence on the folktales. 0rkney has a very, very Rich Heritage of folklore. About the strange creatures, about the selkie folk who are half seal and half human. Every mound in a field has its little goblins and fairies and brownies. You know, every age that humans go through, there is this search for some spiritual meaning. Those connections with the land, or the sea, or the sky. I think folklore is a way of exploring those things. The 0rkney storytelling festival is and its tenth year in its present form. We have wonderful invited storytellers who come from all over the world. Sometimes the stories are very similar. You know, a lot of places have creation myths, about how an island was formed, how a mountain came to be. There is a a lot of similarities. Its wonderful if people come and hear a story from africa, or norway, or north america, or 0rkney, and they think, i wonder if there are any stories about the place that i come from . Now, were going to hear from a lot of different people today, friends from nearand far. You can decide at the end if this really happened. The waves were coming up over the harbour, the wind was blowing. Every single time she broke a lump of beet, a mouse fell out. The next day, hare showed up at 0tters place, and 0tter had prepared a beautiful feast for him. Tonight is the last night of the 0rkney storytelling festival, and its the grand finale so its the absolute best of the best. She had no money left. Spit on the coals of the fire, the coals flame up. I think stories really unite people, and if you have this shared experience and cultural heritage, it does make you stronger, especially if there are values in the stories that you really identify with and that are really important to you, and say, yes, i belong to the culture that owns these stories. For storytelling and the folklore to survive, it has to have a framework, it has to be an organised thing. Thats one of the reasons we do what we do, its one of the reasons why we have the festival. Well, thats all for this week. But coming up next week rajans in jerusalem, uncovering an ancient pilgrimage route thats been buried underground. We are now walking on original 2000 year old limestone streets that were the centre of alljerusalem. This is the original limestone . The original. Youre not going to want to miss it. But for now from me, mike corey, and the rest of the team here in argentina its goodbye. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and Nina Warhurst. 0ur headlines today retired doctors and nurses could be asked to return to the nhs under the governments new plan to tackle coronavirus. 200 british holidaymakers in quarantine at a hotel in tenerife will be allowed to fly home in the coming days. Pressure on the home secretary. Priti patel is accused of bullying staff by her departing departing Civil Service chief.

Theyve been beaten in the premier league for the first time this season losing to watford 3 0. Good morning. It is the 1st of march and the weather is looking a bit quieter. Certainly quieter than the storm yesterday which brought strong winds and heavy rain which has led to dozens of flood warnings being issued across the country. Today is quieter, some sunshine, some wintry showers and the winds start to ease down as well. Join me later further details. Its sunday 01 march. Our top story doctors could be brought out of retirement to help tackle coronavirus in the uk. It is one of a range of contingency measures being considered by the government if the outbreak worsens. There are currently 23 confirmed cases of the virus here. Andy moore reports. Willow bank school at wokingham in berkshire, where about 180 children in infant classes have been told to stay at home for the next few days. The head teacher wrote to parents saying a member of staff had been diagnosed with coronavirus. The school, she said, would be closed for deep cleaning. The staff member is one of three new cases announced yesterday by the chief medical officer. They had been overseas in italy and asia. Another case at haslemere in surrey is causing concern, because the person hadnt been abroad and its not known how they contracted the virus. The government says its ordered a so called war room to be convened in the Cabinet Office to roll out a new Public Information campaign. It also says its considering bringing retired Health Professionals back into the nhs. Longer term, home working may be encouraged and unnecessary travel discouraged. The total number of confirmed cases here in the uk is now 23. Italy is the worst hit country in europe, with over 1,000 people infected and 29 deaths. In the us, one person has died in the state of washington, on the west coast, and there are fears of an outbreak among 50 people who are ill at a nursing home. Its been confirmed that one carer has the virus and an elderly woman is seriously ill. Additional cases in the United States are likely. But healthy individuals should be able to fully recover. And we think that will be a statement that we can make with great surety now that weve gotten familiar with this problem. Outside of china, south korea is suffering one of the worst outbreaks.

The hotel has been in lockdown since tuesday when four italian guests tested positive for coronavirus. After that, Public Health england visited tenerife and we were considered we were told all british guests were considered to be low risk. Six have already left.

It comes after sir Philip Rutnam resigned as the home offices most senior Civil Servant, claiming he was subjected to a Vicious Campaign against him. 0ur Political Correspondent helen catt is in our london newsroom. Helen, are we going to hear from priti patel . Some of the papers saying this could not be worse timing for the home 0ffice . Not be worse timing for the home office . The home office has an awful lot to deal with. This is a really bad time for the sort of backroom tensions we have heard about to spill over in quite such an explosive and public way. If you think of the accusation sir Philip Rutnam made yesterday, there was that claim of a vicious and orchestrated campaign against him, the fact he said he didnt believe the fact he said he didnt believe the home secretary wasnt involved in that. Allegations had been reported to him of her swearing at staff, belittling people and making unreasonable and repeated demands. Priti patel has not responded to the comments publicly. She has reassured a denial of claims around bullying and belittling in the response to newspaper reports. There is pressure on her to see something more publicly, specifically in parliament. 0ne publicly, specifically in parliament. One of the labour leadership contenders, sir keir starmer, is pressing for her to speak in the commons tomorrow. The Prime Minister was asked whether he had confidence in priti patel and a downing street spokesman said he had full confidence in the cabinet. Day of two halves for the Prime Minister. Later in the day, we learned he is engaged to be married to his partner Carrie Symons and they are expecting a baby . There has been speculation for some time, but the questions raised about the timing of the announcement. Boris johnson has been consistently reticent to talk about his family life, particularly his children. We had the arrival of Florence Cameron in downing street in 2010 to david and samantha. Before that, Tony Blairand his and samantha. Before that, tony blair and his wife cherie blair became the first serving Prime Minister in more than 150 years to have a baby while serving. This might make you feel old, but their son leo turns 20 this year. The year 2000 seems like yesterday. The Northern Rail network has been taken under government control this morning, following years of poor performance. The operator, arriva rail north, has been stripped of its franchise but transport secretary grant shapps says there will be no quick fix for the problems. Simonjones reports. Long suffering passengers branded the Service Northern fail delays, cancellation, overcrowding, strikes, and the introduction of a botched new timetable. They wanted change and trains that run on time. Its really unreliable. Its late every day. Half of them dont turn up. Ijust find that i tend to work from home quite a bitjust to avoid the commute. Northern is a huge commuter network, from the midlands to northumberland, from lancashire to east yorkshire. But figures from the office of rail and road found only 55 of Northern Trains arrived at stations within a minute of the stated timetable in the past year. That compares with the average across britain of 65 . A recent survey by the passenger watchdog transport focus suggested thatjust 72 of northern passengers were satisfied with theirjourney. The company blamed external problems, such as rail infrastructure, but the government said passengers needed a service they could rely on and stripped it of its franchise five years early. Now trains will be run by the governments operator of last resort. The transport secretary, grant shapps, is calling it a new era for rail in the north, but hes warning there will be no quick fix. Hes set up a panel of local politicians and industry experts, and passenger representatives to draw up an action plan within100 days. The number one priority will be to ease overcrowding. Simon jones, bbc news. We will be speaking to andy burnham about that story later. The former us Vice President , joe biden, has won the latest round of votes to become the democratic partys candidate to challenge donald trump in the president ial elections later this year.

More migrants approached the border this morning, but the greek government has said it will do whatever it takes to protect its frontier. Turkey is hosting nearly four million Syrian Refugees, as well as migrants from other countries such as afghanistan, but had previously stopped them from leaving for europe under a deal with the eu. Data from the met office has confirmed that the uk has just endured the wettest february since records began. An average of 202 millimetres of rain thats nearly eight inches fell last month. That beats the previous record of 193 millimetres, set in february 1990. More than 90 flood warnings remain in place in england, with ten in wales and one in scotland. The resignation of the most senior Civil Servant in the home office, sir Philip Rutnam, has been called both extraordinary and unprecedented. He quit yesterday after a week of simmering tension between himself and the home secretary, priti patel, boiled over. 0ne one of my duties as permanent secretary was to protect the health, safety a nd secretary was to protect the health, safety and well being of our 35,000 people. This created tension with the home secretary and i have encouraged her to change her behaviours. I have received allegations that her conduct has included shouting and swearing, biddle belittling people, making unreasonable and repeated demands, behaviour that created fear and needed some bravery to call out. Lets get a view on this from lord kerslake, the former head of the Civil Service. He joins us now from our london newsroom. It will be interesting to hear your views on this. What you make of what has happened . Views on this. What you make of what has happened . Well, it is quite extraordinary, not just has happened . Well, it is quite extraordinary, notjust the has happened . Well, it is quite extraordinary, not just the fact he has resigned but the way in which he resigned. Essentially saying he is taking the government to court and challenging the home secretary on her behaviour and what he described, you heard it in that clip, roger, amounts to bullying. I think there is no other way of describing it. So this is a very serious matter and i think there will be shock waves going through pretty much all of the Civil Service today. If, if, what he says about her behaviour is true, would you not be serving his 35,000 staff better by staying on post and trying to deal with it . staff better by staying on post and trying to deal with it . I think he had tried to deal with it. All the evidence points to the fact that he had worked to try and ensure the home secretary understood the consequences of her behaviour and indeed he did try to rebuild the relationship, but that obviously just didnt happen and i think he felt that, i havent talked to him, that he needed to call out this and if you went quietly, lets put it that way, with a deal, ultimately the behaviour would continue. So i think something has to be done and we are now at a point really where the Prime Minister needs to urgently meet with the cabinet secretary and find a way to put an end to this very difficult period. Given that the government has said they are committed to reforming the way the structures of government, the ministries and things at the home 0ffice, ministries and things at the home office, it was inevitable that some feathers were going to be ruffled, wasnt it . Look, there is no issue about carrying on, improving and reforming the Civil Service. Every institution can do better and thats true for the Civil Service as well. At what you dont do is go to war with the Civil Service. We have some enormously big, risky and challenging issues facing this country. Coronavirus, introducing a new immigration system, levelling up the country. And for these things to be done and done well, you need a harmonious relationship between government and the Civil Service. It cant be done any other way. Trust is absolutely essential and i suspect its in short supply in the home office at the moment. But if perception amongst the elected politicians was that unelected bureaucrats are frustrating what they are trying to do, its inevitable that people are going to fall out . Look, Civil Servants pride themselves on serving the government of the day. Thats absolutely hammered into you from day one. We are after all in very early days of this government. I think thats another surprising feature of this, that its happened so soon into our government. And if there are frustrations, then the answer is to talk them through, to be very clear what is required and then, if there are problems with that, see how they can be resolved. And my guess is thatis can be resolved. And my guess is that is happening in a very productive way in many departments. Not heeding this at every part of government, thats the way you get things done and other governments have learned that. We now seem to be ina have learned that. We now seem to be in a position where, if civil serva nts in a position where, if Civil Servants give honest and clear advice on issues about where the problems are, then this sort of reaction occurs and its just not the way you make things happen effectively, im afraid. Sir Philip Rutnam said he was not behind this leak, but if you look back seven days to the stories about priti patel not been trusted by m15, they are lea ks patel not been trusted by m15, they are leaks which have presumably come from within the home office or the Civil Service. You can understand why politicians get pretty annoyed when they get undermined by the people supposed to be serving them . Look, these lea ks people supposed to be serving them . Look, these leaks are totally unacceptable and the briefing was a need to stop. Sir philip as made it clear he was not part of that. But if its happened, and it clearly has, then its a bad thing. But equally weve had absolutely torrents of briefings against sir philip. The thing he asked for, but you couldnt get, was an assurance that wouldnt continue. I understand exactly what thats like and its impossible to respond to it, if you are inside government. So this is a problem of unauthorised leaking, youre absolutely right, but also, in my view, completely inappropriate briefing of the media against a senior Civil Servant as well. You we re senior Civil Servant as well. You were pa rt of senior Civil Servant as well. You were part of the appointment process when he was given a job in the department for transport back in 2012. Since then, he has been called a calamity and a failure. My apologies, there are quotes in the papers today quoting sources close to number ten. Look, i recommended sir philip for appointment because what i saw was a very dedicated, evil, serious minded and High Integrity Civil Servant. Of course hes done some things that im sure hes done some things that im sure he would do differently if he had another chance. But in the round he was unable Civil Servant who wanted to be in hisjob. I cannot imagine he ever thought he would be in this position. And by the way, he is now taking the government to court and ifi taking the government to court and if i were in their shoes, i would be saying to people briefing the papers this morning, do not do this. This will all come out in a court case, if it gets that far. And it wont look good for the government. Sir bob kerslake, former head of the Civil Service, thank you very much. It has been the wettest february on record. 0ur things are looking brighter . Next week is looking a bit drier and sunnierfor next week is looking a bit drier and sunnier for many of us. It will be on the chilly side for the time of year, but at least we have the sunshine. The second part of the weekend will be better than the first part. Some servers around, wintry nature, and there will be the wind. We have numerous flood warnings across the country. Check them out on the weather website. Your are the remnants of storm jorge to the north of the uk. Showers and longer spells of rain are feeding in across the north. You can see the snow, significant accumulations of parts of the north pennines, into central and southern scotland on the strong wind. We are looking at blizzards and also drifting snow. There are warnings in place for the snow as we head through the course of the afternoon. The snow continues further south. Some servers getting towards the east. Some eastern parts will stay dry altogether. The cold winds to factor in as well. 6 10d perhaps in the south east. This neck weather feature moves in to the south this evening and overnight. Perhaps a band of rain and sleet to southern counties of england, we think. It will still push its way into the south east by the end of the night. A risk of frost and some ice to watch out for. This area of rain could give rise to some tricky driving conditions for the monday morning commute. It will clear away by the latter part of the morning. We are looking at a largely dry and bright day, some spells of sunshine. Some showers in the west will have a wintry flavour. Temperatures slightly below average for this time of year. We dont have any significant areas of low pressure affecting the uk. Some strong winds for scotland. Higher pressure to the south for wednesday and thursday could settle things down. Then this area of low pressure could move in for the following weekend to perhaps bring us some wet and windy weather. Thats a long way off. For the next few days, looking largely dry and cool few days, looking largely dry and cool. Some showers around, perhaps with a touch of frost. So there are some things to look forward to, nina and roger. Thank you very much. A new era. Thats what the transport secretary grant shapps is promising as the Northern Rail network is taken back into government control from today, following years of delays, cancellations and misery for its customers. But the Greater Manchester mayor andy burnham who lobbied for northern to lose its franchise is warning passengers not to expect dramatic improvements overnight. Hejoins us now from leigh. No immediate overnight improvements, but what exactly is going to change at the coalface of travel and up the skill of command . Good morning. It is true, it is the dawn of a new era for the railways in the north of england. And we did needed. Feelings have got so bad over the last couple of years. So, today, the railway comes under public control. And if nothing else, we will have an Accountable Railway to the public. At times it felt in the last couple of years people were complaining and sending their experiences in and nothing changed. At least now there is more accountability in the system and that hopefully should mean in due course better services. But what exactly due course better services. But what exa ctly d oes due course better services. But what exactly does that mean in practical terms . If im getting on a train later this morning, what will be different about that service and about the people running it . Well, as you quoted me as saying, i think people shouldnt expect dramatic improvements. The railways take a long time to change. Ive learned that myself over the last couple of yea rs. That myself over the last couple of years. But im confident in the team that has been put in charge of this andi that has been put in charge of this and i think we are looking at some timetable changes. They may come later in the year, but that is at the heart of this. There are too many trains going through the city centre of manchester. And those trains are queueing and that causes disruption right across the north. While it wont be immediate, there isa while it wont be immediate, there is a plan being developed to bring stability back to Real Services and that will happen later this year. So patients will be needed, but im confident the government has made the right move and bring the ra i lwa ys the right move and bring the railways under more public control so we can bring more order to the chaos and work on a cross party basis to get this right. Areva have said this is all to do with wider infrastructure problems, and ageing fleet and signal failures, so infrastructure problems, and ageing fleet and signalfailures, so is it to do with who runs the trains or a much wider issue than that . Arriva its a bit of both, to be honest. The idea it was all the infrastructure was not right. In the north west particularly, we did not have a full sunday service in pretty much all of 2019 and in my view that was done to the company they are responsible for that. There is a big question about infrastructure. This is when im challenging the government. As i said a moment ago, there are too many trains going through central manchester. Even if you take one or two out, you still have a heavily congested railway in that area. There has been a long standing plan to build two new platforms at manchester piccadilly. That would unlock a bottleneck affecting the whole of the north west of england. It is a shovel ready project, which is a phrase i know the Prime Minister likes. I am saying to the Prime Minister, the budget is the perfect opportunity to commit to this investment and make the whole of the railway in the north more reliable. If that doesnt happen soon and fast, you will become the punchbag for blame. You asked for this and if improvements dont come, people will look to you. I have been anyway i think people thought i have been running the railway at times. All i could do with steve rotherham, the mayor of liverpool, is Work Together to speak up liverpool, is Work Together to speak upfor liverpool, is Work Together to speak up for people over the last couple of years. Up for people over the last couple of yea rs. We up for people over the last couple of years. We have used our position to be an advocate for what people are feeling. But this is a new phase. With more control comes more accountability. Im certainly happy to ta ke accountability. Im certainly happy to take that autumn, you know, because what we had before simply was not working. It might be tough, it might be awkward and uncomfortable, but this is a long job to put the railways of the north west of england back on their feet. And im committed to playing my part in that. Thank you. Those who regularly use the trains in the north will be listening to the budget. Anand menon is a professor of european politics and Foreign Affairs at Kings College london. What stories have you found inside the papers, anand . Lisa nandy has spoken in the mirror newspaper. There are difficult decisions to be made otherwise the future of the labour party is in doubt. This is in the context of a battle which has been dragging on. It seems to be heating up in other newspapers. Rebecca long bailey speaking about dawn hours, requesting that sir keir starmer announces who his donors are. I wonder if they might make this process a bit shorter next time. There is still a month to go. In the sunday times, we were reporting more refugees making their way towards the border between turkey and greece. President duane has lifted the barriers a little . One of the reasons why the European Union was able to deal with the migrant crisis was that he kept migrants within their borders. He is close to the current libyan government. He has a degree of influence over bosnia. So if he decides to open the taps, that could be a massive issue. His problem with the European Union as he thinks they are not doing enough to combat president assad in syria. It is in reaction to a setback last week. The problem as he makes one comment and the Ripple Effect about changing the border can be effects can be enormous. Changing the border can be effects can be enormous. 4 million Syrian Refugees in turkey. Imagine if coronavirus is found in some of these camps. There are big issues at play. I didnt really highlight the photograph, but it is quite powerful. A refugee and the emotion in herface. The sea is choppy, they are getting off a little dinghy. Safely arrived on a greek island from turkey. We dont want to see the horrible pictures that we saw a few years ago. Bristol could become the first city in the country that requires pubs to serve alcohol free beer on tap. Having been pregnant twice, the improvement in these drinks has been rapid. The figures seem to indicate we are drinking less. Buy some figures, there is a 16 drop in alcohol intake since 2004. Nonalcoholic drinks are enjoying a bit of a boom. If you go to our pub and you are driving or not drinking, you either stuck with loads of very small soft drinks that you guzzle. And it costs the same. This idea in bristol that it would be compulsory for there to be a nonalcoholic drink on tap. It is about tricking yourself for that first drink sometimes. Unit pricing has as they worked in scotland are reducing drinking, it is on its way for wales. We will talk about that more later in the programme. Lovely to see you. Thank you very much. Stay with us. Headlines on the way. Hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and Nina Warhurst. Its 8. 32am, heres a summary of this mornings main news. Former nhs workers could be brought out of retirement to help fight the coronavirus if the outbreak gets worse here. The governments drawn up a range of contingency plans, which could also see the limit on School Class Sizes relaxed if a lot of teachers are off sick. The number of people with the virus in the uk has now reached 23. Meanwhile, several hundred elite athletes ran the tokyo marathon this morning, after the event was closed to general competitors because of the coronavirus outbreak. 0ur correspondent jenny hill is in tokyo. How does that represent the mood injapan . Well, the japanese government had asked organisers of sporting events to consider is getting them back calling them off, and this morning the tokyo marathon went ahead. 38,000 runners should have made their way down the street behind me. Instead, just 200 elite athletes took part. Fewer spectators than normal because the authorities are asking people very specifically to try to stay away, discouraging them from gathering to cheer those few athletes on. In other sporting news, we have also heard about another major event any japanese sporting calendar. The organisers of the spring sumo wrestling tournament, a really big deal here injapan, had decided that the event will go ahead as planned next weekend, but the competitors will wrestle in an empty place as viewers will not be allowed to attend. We heard from the minister who said that the 2020 tokyo 0lympics minister who said that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will go ahead as planned, but as you can imagine, there is considerable doubt about that here in japan. And the marathon today, the sumo wrestling championships, just two small exa m ples of championships, just two small examples of how big events are being scaled back. That is bound to have a huge impact on the regions economy . Absolutely, and i think the japanese authorities are very keen to try to get on top of this outbreak if they can. But you know, the case numbers are still rising and it is particularly bad up in the north of japan in hokkaido, where a state of emergency has been declared. People have been asked to stay in their homes over the weekend. It is a similar picture in other parts and the focuses very much on south korea as well, when a number of cases has spiralled, now more than 3000 500 people in concerned as infected, including a six week baby. We learnt earlier in japan that including a six week baby. We learnt earlier injapan that a 12 person has now died as a result of the covid19 has now died as a result of the covid 19 virus. 12 people, six of whom, including a british man, without aboard the diamond princess cruise ship.

The home secretary priti patel is being urged to answer allegations that she bullied and swore at staff. It comes after the resignation of the home offices most senior Civil Servant, sir Philip Rutnam, who claimed hed been victimised. The home secretary hasnt responded to his resignation but downing street says the Prime Minister has full confidence in his cabinet. The Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his partner Carrie Symonds are engaged and expecting their first child together. Miss symonds made the announcement on instagram yesterday, hours after sir Philip Rutnams resignation. Former chancellor sajid javid tweeted to say it was wonderful news. But labour mp Florence Eshalomi queried the timing, saying it was convenient for the government. Those are the main stories this morning. Bens here with the sport. And liverpool have been beaten . January the 23rd 2019 was the last time liverpool lost a league game. 422 days since they last lost in the premier league, liverpools unbeaten run was finally ended. Their defeat maybe all the more surprising due to the manner of it hammered by watford 3 0. Watford were probably as outstanding as liverpool were poor. Three points for them eases relegation fears, but other clubs at the bottom picked up useful points too. Nick parrott rounds up saturdays action. Watford needed three points more than liverpool did. The premier league title is as good as on its way to merseyside. Becoming the first team to beat the champions elect this season could be a turning point in watfords fight for survival. They dominated at vicarage road to such an extent liverpool only managed a single shot on target. Their first goal might have been a bit scrappy, but record signing ismaila sarr followed that up with something far more worthy of his £27 million price tag. This was the finish that finished off liverpool. No comebacks this time, their 44 unbeaten run finally over. Captain troy deeneys strike was the icing on the cake for watford, lifting them out of the relegation zone on goal difference. Weve got ten games left, we are in a battle with five, six other clubs. Weve got to do it ourselves and were capable of doing it ourselves. But what we cant do is have a performance as good as this and then not try to reproduce it. West ham united also jumped out of the bottom three. A goalkeeping error sparked their downfall against liverpool last monday, but they made no mistakes as they beat southampton 3 1. Theyre now level on points with watford and bournemouth, who dropped into the relegation zone after slipping up at home to chelsea. The cherries had come from behind to lead 2 1, but Marcos Alonso came to chelseas rescue with the equaliser five minutes from the end. And brighton are just a point above the bottom three after losing 1 0 crystal palace. Nick parrott, bbc news. Rangers boss Steven Gerrard said he didnt recognise his team after they were dumped out of the scottish cup by hearts. They went down 1 0 in their quarter final. 0liver bozanic scored the winner midway through the second half. Aberdeens 2 0 win over st mirren takes them into the last four. There was a dramatic end to the Womens League cup final, as chelsea beat arsenal to win the competition for the first time. Beth england scored the winner two minutes into injury time as chelsea won 2 1. They could be on for a domestic treble too, as theyre unbeaten in the league and still in the womens fa cup. Manchester city did the treble last season. The premier league looks out of reach, but they can retain their league cup. Theyve won the last two and start as big favourites against aston villa. Having played and won at real madrid in the week, manager Pep Guardiola says they cant afford to take a rested villa lightly. They had all week to prepare that game. 0ur mentaland. Tough game was again against madrid. I know we are going to suffer of that for the next few days. This is normal. This is notjust a game, this is the days before, the weeks before, mentally preparing for a game and how difficult and demanding it is. And after, there is a drop of adrenaline or something, you know, in your mind and your body. Its an opportunity, because. Nine years ago, i was becoming the manager of walsall in league one, looking to keep them up. If anybody had told me in nine years i would be sat here, as a premier League Manager with aston villa, leading them into a domestic cup trophy, i would have said, you are crackers. So, you know, i see it as a massive opportunity. The lads have done ever so well to get to the final and we have always expressed, you know, the tradition of the cup for this football club. And now we have got an opportunity against one of the worlds best teams. If youre not happy with var this season, the people who make footballs laws have been meeting in belfast to discuss changes to foster the spirit of attacking football. The offside rule is being looked at to stop toenails and armpits ruling you offside, and the handball law will change too with a better definition of what is the arm and what is the shoulder. So brace yourself for whats being dubbed the t shirt line. Although presumably, if you have a longer shirt. De tshirt rule. Yes, it has been known as the t shirt rule. I think it will divide opinion. Interesting finding, isnt it . Attacking the spirit of football and the whole thing behind it has been under scrutiny. The whole thing this season with the ir and the offside rule is more goals are being ruled out than they ever were before. Var. Also the handball rule where you cant score. It is rolling out more goals as well, and we just want to see more goals. You will have to Start Playing with long sleeved shirts. Will have to Start Playing with longsleeved shirts. More goals, thatis longsleeved shirts. More goals, that is what you want in life, isnt it . Yes, maam. England are playing their final group game at the womens world t20 it could be decisive too. They are up against the west indies. Heather knights side won the toss and opted to bat, after eight overs they were 49 1. If they win they will be through to the semi finals. That has come about after south africa beat pakistan earlier in the same group. Two teams from each of two groups progress. In tennis, british number two Heather Watson has won herfirst tour tennis title since 2016. She prevailed against canadas Leylah Annie Fernandez in three sets at the mexican 0pen, winning on her 10th match point. Watson will return to the worlds top 50 next and might need a bigger suitcase if she wants to bring that sombrero home. I think that is kind of the rule, isnt it . Whenever you are playing in mexico. They get their hats on the podium, in the United States and sombreros in mexico. the podium, in the United States and sombreros in mexico. I bet theyjust go, oh sombreros thank you. Its nearly two years since the Scottish Government effectively banned cheap wine, beer and spirits by making it illegal to sell drinks for less than 50p per unit of alcohol. Tomorrow, wales will do the same thing. Vaughan gething is the welsh labour cabinet secretary for health. Hejoins us now from cardiff. Thank you so much for talking to us. Hgppy thank you so much for talking to us. Happy saint davids day. Everyone can celebrate today before you put the price at the booze up. Just explain why. Because there is a clear evidence trail that the price of drink matters, and in particular high strength cheap alcohol has a real impact on the nations hell. 0ver real impact on the nations hell. Over 500 alcohol related deaths in the last two figures, over 60,000 alcohol related hospital admissions. So there is a real challenge in our relationship with alcohol. I am not someone who advocates abstinence. I like to drink myself, like most people do. But this is about how we change the nature of their relationship. There is good evidence from research from Sheffield University that the price of alcohol would make a difference, if we change it. But also the practical evidence from scotland, there is good reason to think that we will actually save more lives by introducing this measure for monday. Absolutely out, and between 2018 and 2019, sales of alcohol have gone up in scotland. How much weight did you put in looking into what has happened in scotland into your decision . We looked at what happened in the past in scotland, but we are looking at the policy of changing it. As you say, we looked at the impact of high strength cheap alcohol. The Research Fund shuffled university reinforced that view, that if you change the price at the lowest end then you will make a difference to peoples habit to when they drink, how much they drink. So we really do think this was save lives and the modelling we have from sheffield suggests this will save around 50 lives per year, when we introduce this measure. So moderate drinkers shouldnt really see an impact at all, but people who drink the largest amount of very cheap alcohol will see an impact. We are also saying this isnt a Silver Bullet to cure all ills. We spend a significant amount on supporting treatment with substance abuses, including alcohol. There is a wide range of measures to support a wide spectrum of the community, including within the health service, and we really do think this will make a difference, save lives and evidence from scotland reinforces that. And what you say to people who say it disproportionately affects people on lower incomes, for whom they are more price sensitive to the cost of alcohol . Middle class wine drinkers, it doesnt really affect them because they can afford to pay a bit extra if they have to. Most people are price sensitive. I am extra if they have to. Most people are price sensitive. Lam myself, but in the modelling we recognise it would make the biggest difference the people on lower incomes. But at the people on lower incomes. But at the same times, they are the Current Group of people who had the biggest harm from alcohol as well and the way that very cheap and high strength alcohol is targeted, so actually the Biggest Health gain in terms of lives saved, but also in terms of healthy Life Expectancy is actually from people in those lower income groups. But even moderate drinkers within lower income groups shouldnt see much of a difference. If you go out to drink, the main unit price shouldnt make much of a difference to you at all, but if you drink very cheap, very high strength alcohol, then it will make a difference that is exactly what the policy is designed to do. Thank you very much for your time and happy saint davids day. Alice wiseman is the director of Public Health for gateshead. She wants to see this policy in england. Alicejoins us now from hull. Why isnt this happening in england as well . I think that the english government is looking at different strategies at the moment. What we are trying to do at the moment is persuade them to follow the lead from scotland and now wales, to think about the impact that it could have on our populations in england. Some analysis that has been done recently by Sheffield University for the north of england has shown that we could save 8000 premature deaths over the next 20 years if this policy was implemented in england as well. Are you not dealing with the problem at the tail end, though . Isnt an issue around why people wa nt to isnt an issue around why people want to drink to excess . isnt an issue around why people want to drink to excess . I think alcohol is a really complex issue and the previous speaker spoke about our relationship that we had with alcohol and the issues that we have around that as a society. Minimum unit price is not a Silver Bullet, but it is absolutely the right thing to do and it will have the greatest impact. You know, we are clearly concerned about how alcohol is also promoted, particularly thinking about how we protect children from the promotion of alcohol. Trying to change our relationship, again as the previous speaker spoke about, with alcohol, so that it can become a healthy part of her society, rather than the impact that is currently having. It is not a Silver Bullet, but i imagine it would impact people on lower incomes are a lot more. It is punishing the poor, isnt it . No, i wouldnt agree with that. The evidence that had come from sheffield has shown that moderate drinkers would hardly be affected by an unit price at all. So drinkers on the lowest incomes, who are moderate drinkers, will probably only see an increase of about one pan 32p per year in terms of the costs. One pan 32 p. It will benefit those lower income communities, nine out of ten deaths that we can present will be in those communities. Thank you, and that policy will be rolled out across wales tomorrow. This is why we say goodbye to nina as she is off. Lets check on the weather forecast. Heres stav with a look at this mornings weather. Blue sky overhead and many others will see the sunshine today fact. It will see the sunshine today fact. It will be pretty pleasant for the afternoon. Hq showers around, mainly across Western Areas and it will feel wintry with that chilly wind, which will be quite key over the next few hours. Storm jorge yesterday exacerbated Flooding Issues, bringing yet more rain making it the wettest february on record, according to the met office. Still bringing further rain across northern parts of the country as you can see, sitting to the north of the uk lots of isobars on the chart feeding in the showers. Long spells of rain, heavy and became a across the north pennines into central and southern scotland, which could cause if you issues. With the strong wind, we could see blizzards and drifting snow there as well. Pretty harsh, wintry conditions across the north considering it is early march. Further south, lots of sunshine, but quite windy and some showers pushing m, quite windy and some showers pushing in, a mixture of hail and quite windy and some showers pushing in, a mixture of hailand may quite windy and some showers pushing in, a mixture of hail and may be a bit of sleet and snow to the hills. Some of these areas will stay dry altogether, but it will feel cold because of the strength of the winds, which will gradually ease down as the day wears on. We will see those around 7 10d across south east. Not a bad looking sundae, considering how the weekend started. Next next with a front moving in across the south of the country this evening and overnight, continuing to slide its way eastwards, bringing outbreaks of heavy rain across the south east and perhaps a bit of sleepiness as we see colder air moving down for the law. It will be called further north, clear skies, wintry showers, a risk of frost and ice as well. The rain, perhapsa a risk of frost and ice as well. The rain, perhaps a bit of sleet across the south east are good with tricky driving conditions for the monday morning commute, so watch out for that. But it will clear away quickly, and then looking at a clear, bright dry day. These temperatures just a little below the seasonal average. 0n the pressure chart from tuesday onwards, we can see there are not many isobars on the charts there, so it is going to be generally lighter winds, good spells of sunshine, but there are signs by the weekend we could see this next area of low pressure moving in. So actually not too bad for the next three days, but by the weekend it could be telling a bit more unsettled thanks very much indeed, nice blue skies behind our forecast thanks very much indeed, nice blue skies behind ourforecast in there and you might be heading out for a sunday stroll today. The weather in some areas has improved a little bit, but you will have to go a long way to beat this person. Alice morrison. Shes just trekked almost a thousand miles across the saharan desert. Before we speak to alice, lets take a look at some of her trip. Ifind it is i find it is good that im learning this now, just seeing what is coming in the next hour, or the even the next day or the next week. I dont know how that day or that week is going to turn out, and there is a lwa ys going to turn out, and there is always something. A present from god, it presents on the universe. I have seen two desert foxes, two owls and we found hide their tracks, so there are always things to look at and discover. There is the sheer adventure of it and Alice Morrison joins us now. This is part of a trilogy for you, isnt it, walking across morocco . This is part two, just explain why you are doing it. I believe that exploring is very important in the world we live enhancing things with your own eyes and discovering the iys your own eyes and discovering the joys of nature is a very good thing to do. I have walked nearly two thirds of morocco, the dry weather to the mauritanian border and the last bit is the Atlas Mountains. And that happens later this year . It does. Talking specifically about the sahara, i guess the three legs are very different in terms of the places you are walking, but the sa ha ra places you are walking, but the Sahara Desert must have been pretty tough . I think the best thing about seeing it as an adventure is a very short memory and optimism. Because before i set off, i thought this isnt going to be that hard, i can doa isnt going to be that hard, i can do a Half Marathon and walk many hours a day. But it was so tough. We had quick sand, we walk through landmines and it was hot, but freezing at night. The worst thing was the lack of water. We were co nsta ntly was the lack of water. We were constantly in water stress, so we we re constantly in water stress, so we were constantly worried about finding enough water for us and our camels. We had six camels and i walked with three guides, so we were co nsta ntly. Walked with three guides, so we were constantly. In the back of your mind it was always, we have enough water . It was very difficult. Was it dangerous . There were dangers involved in this expedition. In the quicksands we almost lost the camels and that would have been the end. If we hadnt been given water by nomads on thejourney, we we hadnt been given water by nomads on the journey, we would have either to abandon the expedition or die. dont mean this in a disrespectful way, but just listening dont mean this in a disrespectful way, butjust listening to the way we we re way, butjust listening to the way we were talking, was it not a bit irresponsible . No people all. As long as we have existed as human beings we have always roamed the earth, and beings we have always roamed the earth, and i think it is not irresponsible. It is the opposite because what i am doing is bearing witness to what im seeing with my own eyes and telling people the stories. And telling people that actually Climate Change is happening, and over there it is about drying out, whereas here is about drying out, whereas here is about lots and lots and lots of rain. Iwas about lots and lots and lots of rain. I was also telling the story about how you meet these people who are so different from you, and yet you have your humanity and common and you are in fact the same. So i think it is responsible. And when you mention water stress, it sounds like that is a term, is it . It is. The thing of that the sahara is desertification is a real problem on the planet. 16 of arable land is being eaten up by the desert worldwide, which is huge, and the sa ha ra worldwide, which is huge, and the Sahara Desert has grown by 10 . People cant live there any more because the little bits of vegetation that there are now drying out, so they are having to move or adapt. 0ne out, so they are having to move or adapt. One of the great thing that humans are so adaptable, so for example the nomads now have these enormous plastic bags that can carry 60 metric tonnes squared of water, which is an awful lot. They filled them up by lorry, bring waterfrom them up by lorry, bring waterfrom the cities and then use them to water their camels. So it is the old and the new. Interesting when you talk about drying out. The lack of vegetation and the reduction of water. Presumably, therefore, there are fewer living things around . That is true. Some things can live on nothing, so for example be desert fox and live on. It is like a little rabbit with huge ears, but it can live its whole life without any water. That is amazing, but there was one really sad part of the january started counting ants because they were the only living thing i saw. I would go, oh look there is an ant. It was like, there is an ant hill, ea some of the pictures, i see you walking in the sand and it looks quite packed, but equally there are other towns where there are tunes, and it must be really ha rd there are tunes, and it must be really hard because youre walking for many hours a day in that heat with the sun. Yes, the sand is a nightmare. It hurts your feet, with the sun. Yes, the sand is a nightmare. It hurts yourfeet, hurt your hips, hurt your legs. You are a lwa ys your hips, hurt your legs. You are always hoping it is going to be hardpacked. The soft sands may look beautiful, but actually we would walk around them and work on the ha rd stuff. Walk around them and work on the hard stuff. You bought some things here with you that you picked up on your travels. They look like bits of rock, but there is more to them. What are they . These things here are stone age tools. Can you guess what that one is . A spoon. I actually ate my porridge with it. This one is. A long stick. A steer . Yes. And this isa a long stick. A steer . Yes. And this is a knife. It actually works, we cut through court with that. The interesting things about these is we would find them where we were camping, and what it means is these are thousands of years old and people have been using the same campsites for thousands of years. That gives you such a sense of history. Actually when you look at them, they look like bits of stone, but you can see where they have been worked to get the shape. And these are fossils . Yes, these are fossils and you can see snails, fish and two tiny seashells that have solidified into rock. So again, just seeing with your own eyes this evidence that once this was a sea, it was under water. Itjust gives you such a thrill. And when is the final stage . Of the Atlas Mountains . The Atlas Mountains with my camels. Camels have got short legs and find going downhill difficult, so that is going downhill difficult, so that is going to be difficult for us. And thatis going to be difficult for us. And that is in the summer . That is in the summer. Where can people follow your adventures . First of all, i would like to plug my book, adventures in morocco, and i have a podcast as well. Good talking to you, good luck with the final part of the trilogy. Alice morrison theyre for morocco.
