Here, almost one in every four shops is empty. Six nations to go ahead despite coronavirus fears games will be played this weekend. When i get this medal its in memory of every one of them are fellows, 22 , 442 of every one of them are fellows, 22,442 men. Ahead of receiving his mbe, we catch up with Harry Billinge, the d day veteran who has raised tens of thousands for a memorial honouring his fallen comrades. Good morning. A chilly start to the day but for many we will have bright and sunny spells, some showers, wintry in the hills and the north. More later. Its tuesday, 3rd march. Our top story. Plans to tackle the threat posed by the coronavirus in the uk will be set out by the government today. Its after the Prime Minister said he expects a significant increase in the number of cases. The announcement will include plans to bring doctors and nurses out of retirement. Lets take a look at the global picture. Theres been almost 90,000 confirmed cases of the illness worldwide, although the majority of those are in china. The virus has now been detected in 70 countries, including italy, the us and iran. Here in the uk, 39 people have been diagnosed across england, scotland, wales and Northern Ireland. Keith doyle has the latest. Back home, these are some of the hundreds of british holiday makers who were kept in isolation at a hotel in tenerife. Around 100 who were cleared by medics arrived last night. Its been horrible. Awful. Horrible holiday. Were home, yeah brilliant those who were allowed to fly home must now isolate themselves for two weeks. With more people choosing not to fly at the moment, British Airways and ryanair have cancelled hundreds of flights to many european destinations, as well as some to the us. Both airlines said there had been a significant fall in demand. Another confirmed case of coronavirus in the uk has led to the closure of one of the countrys leading music and drama schools, the Guildhall School in london. In a statement the school confirmed a member of Teaching Staff has tested positive for covid i9. The school says he came into contact with a limited number of pupils while teaching last week. And they are receiving what it calls appropriate urgent advice. The teacher is recovering well at the Royal Free Hospital in london. All meetings, workshops and performances have been cancelled for the next two weeks, and the staff have been encouraged to work from home. With more countries reporting confirmed cases, the eu has raised the risk level to high, and the World Health Organization says the world is in uncharted territory. Following yesterdays cobra meeting, the Prime Minister borisjohnson will set out the governments plan to fight this spread of coronavirus later today. He has warned of the virus is likely to spread more widely in the coming days and weeks. Keith doyle, bbc news. In a moment, our correspondent bethany bell will have the latest on the situation in europe. But first, our Political Correspondent chris mason joins us from westminster. Good morning. Yesterday you were talking about the significant change in language. What is the picture today . Good morning. We will see real evidence of that today. There had been those days ago who accused the government of not being sufficiently on the front foot, that we we re sufficiently on the front foot, that we were not hearing sufficiently from ministers and in particular the Prime Minister. He will very much change that today. They will be a public event, a News Conference where he will appear alongside the chief medical officer and the government chief scientific adviser. They will set out the full scale of the plans that they have been willing to implement as this disease progresses. There is a huge amount of uncertainty about the timeline and the extent to which it will progress as far as cases in the uk are concerned, but the government is keen to ensure that we are aware of the planning that it is doing. Here is the Prime Minister. We will be as transparent as we possibly can, but at the moment i just wish to repeat the crucial thing we can all do to help the nhs, to stop the spread of the disease, is wash your hands twice, two verses of happy birthday, hot water. But apart from that, laura, at the moment i should stress that it should be business as usual. The Prime Minister talking to Laura Kuenssberg last night. Clearly there isa kuenssberg last night. Clearly there is a desire from the government to emphasise personal responsibility, the importance of hand washing, but also the scale of what they are going to do. So for instance, a minister in every Government Department designated as the coronavirus leaked, what they manage in their sector. The prospect of legislation in the next couple of weeks to ensure that retired nhs staff ca n weeks to ensure that retired nhs staff can be brought back in if necessary to work in hospitals. Also potential change in legislation to ensure that child to teacher ratios can be loosened in child care settings, so in nurseries and in schools, so that if there are teachers or support staff off ill with the virus, schools can still legally remain open with slightly larger class sizes. A real sense now the government is doing what it needs to do to put in place the contingencies that could well be necessary. Thanks, chris. We will speak to the Health Secretary later. Bethany bell is in italy this morning. They have had the outbreak. What is occurring there . I things under control . Here in italy the death toll of people with coronavirus has risen to 52. And all told here in italy, which has been the epicentre of the outbreak in europe, there have been over 2000 cases reported. In what may be a little glimmer of hope, officials said yesterday the numberof hope, officials said yesterday the number of new cases reported here was number of new cases reported here was 258. That is much smaller than the jumps we have seen in previous days. Schools remain shut in three regions of northern italy, in lombardy and two others, and there are a lot of concern about what the impact will be on tourism and on business. Elsewhere we have had heard from the head of the European Commission saying they have raised the risk level is too high in terms of europe. They promised what they called a corona task force, looking at medical preparations. It will be looking at research and it will be looking at research and it will be looking at research and it will be looking at travel advice. They are trying to coordinate among eu countries, they have promised a numberof countries, they have promised a number of meetings with Eu Health Ministers this week and eu finance ministers this week and eu finance ministers as well, looking at the impact of this on the question of business and the economy. Here in italy you have the feeling some people dont know whether to be so frightened of the coronavirus or the impact on the economy. Very interesting. Thank you, bethany. Health secretary matt hancock will be live on the programme to take some questions about the Government Strategy just after ten past seven. Join us for that. The Union Representing senior Civil Servants has demanded an independent investigation into bullying allegations against the home secretary. Priti patel strongly denies the claims. The fda union says it lacks confidence in a government inquiry into the matter, but ministers insist the process is robust and fit for purpose. We have the minister for the Cabinet Officer eulogise about the home secretary, tell the house that the Prime Minister fully supports them. Then announce an investigation by his department into the conduct of the home secretary. Who will deal with that . It would be the Prime Minister in private who will deal with the result of that investigation. That is not going to build confidence among Civil Servants. The former us Vice President joe bidens bid for the white house has been given a big boost overnight, after his campaign was backed by two former rivals. It comes ahead of whats known as super tuesday, where democrats in 14 states decide who they think should challenge donald trump in the president ial election later this year. Our north america correspondent sophie long reports. Winning the democratic nomination to be the person to take on President Trump is all about gathering delegates. On super tuesday more than a third of them are up for grabs, more than on any other day in this long, gruelling campaign. Its big. And its even bigger this time because california, the most populous state with hundreds of delegates, is also taking part. About a quarter of those eligible to vote are hispanic. Some are voting for the first time after coming to citizenship classes like this. Theyre passionate about being part of this political process. It is good to become a citizen because you can vote. Like, you feel like people are going to hear your voice. So it is good to become a citizen because you can work for the person that you believe is going to change our world. Issues that are important to them are immigration, of course, but also education, health care and the economy. In more rural areas, farmers want to know who the candidate will be and what solutions they propose for the many issues affecting this huge and diverse country. Right now the focus is trying to this feel down and getting a better picture of what that looks like. You know, we know what trumps proposals are, particularly when it comes to water, which is so important for the farmers and ranchers here. Thats a critical issue that hes been very supportive of locally. So to see what the other candidate, or candidates, as it starts to narrow down, proposes, its going to be a big interest to us. While no one could win the nomination on super tuesday, it can get them a long way towards it. Senator Bernie Sanders has taken the lead in the liberal lane and the national polls. Former Vice President joe biden had been limping at the start of this marathon, but his big win in South Carolina has put him back in contention are just the right time. His performance could be helped by other moderates dropping out and endorsing him. But enter the late starter. On the ballot for the first time is billionaire mike bloomberg, and he has been converting his cash into campaign ads. Also running still are Senators Elizabeth Warren and tulsi gabbard. It is the day political pundits have been waiting for. It could make or break candidates campaigns. But it might not. Sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. Domestic abusers could be forced to take lie detector tests, as part of new laws being put before mps today. The plans, which also include a ban on abusers cross examining their victims in court, are part of the long awaited Domestic Abuse bill. If passed, a three year trial would be carried out. The Home Office Said many of the proposals were widely supported. The uk and the eu have officially started talks on their future relationship after brexit. David frost is leading the uks negotiations, with Michel Barnier representing the eu. The two sides will thrash out deals on everything from fishing, to financial services. The meetings will alternate between brussels and london every two weeks ahead of a key summit injune. Theres a fresh warning for users of Smart Devices like Baby Monitors and cameras this morning check your security settings or risk being hacked. The National Cyber Security Centre says images or live feeds can be accessed by online criminals if the gadgets are not properly protected. It says users should regularly change passwords to help reduce the risk. Check for a default password and if you find one like 0000, or password, change it and change it to a good, strong password, three random words that mean something to you, but not to anyone else. The second thing to do is to check that youre updating your security on the software, sometimes called firmware. And if that can be done automatically, if you read the instructions it will tell you, then switch it on automatically. And the third thing is not everybody uses all the features on these cameras. Lots of people might only use them when they are in the home, but they can be accessed from anywhere. If you are not accessing it from outside your home, then switch that feature off. Do those three things and it takes away so much of the risk and you can have peace of mind. If you want peace of mind we are talking about it later. I cant remember the time. 20 to eight. Matt hancock is at ten past seven. Excellent. That will be interesting to hear, the danger is, what you should do, what sort of things you should do, what sort of things you should be looking out for. We probably have them unknowingly. Have you got a camera on your laptop . |j think you got a camera on your laptop . think there is one of the top when you open your laptop. You can go on they wonder web and there are all sorts of feeds from various people, people who dont know it is their houses. What i miss this on . it is important stuff. The other interesting thing is buying on equipment, not buying it after it has been properly checked by online retailers. They dont have essential regulations and some of the other ones. They can be easier to hack. That somebody might be able to watch your baby monitor is very worrying. Dont worry too much. We will give you the information at 7 40am. Dont wa nt you the information at 7 40am. Dont want to alarm anyone good news after yesterdays story about six nations.

Where we have had some showers there is the risk of ice and untreated surfaces.

The wind is going to be progressing steadily north east through the day, getting into Northern Ireland, wales and the midlands, down towards the south east, possibly getting as far north as southern scotland. But from the central belt northwards, brighter skies with a few showers and temperatures 7 to 10 celsius. As we go through wednesday into thursday, this area of low pressure, it continues to rotate around, eventually pushing off in the direction of the north sea. Leaving afair bit direction of the north sea.

Im hosting a conference on thursday in huddersfield on loneliness and it is an issue that continues to create a lot of interest and create discussion. You guys have done a lot of amazing work as well. So much has been done in her name and that that is what keeps us going. Its amazing to think that all the good that has come out of such an awful situation for you and the family, and now, yea rs for you and the family, and now, years down the line, there are things happening across the uk and so many different strands to it as well . Absolutely. That is what we do, we try to reflectjos lie. We have local work in west yorkshire, with the amazing bunch of volunteers ichair, with the amazing bunch of volunteers i chair, nationally we do the great get together which tackles issues in this country. Whether that is cohesion, loneliness or knife crime. And now this international strand, which we dont have the capacity to deliver, but for that to be done in jos name through the department of International Develop and, through uk aid, is heart warming to think that so much good has come out of something so horrific. She would be proud of you. She would be laughing her socks off. I have just been in the make up room at. This is not me at all. I was quite happy being a private person. I have just been in the make up room and the girl who did my hair, her dad is involved in one of the projects in zimbabwe. How mad is that . I am going to meet derek. He works here. Whose daughter works here. The reach ofjos legacy is so powerful and important. We always try to make a positive but we are also tackling some serious issues in this country and elsewhere. That keeps me going. love what you say, she would be laughing. You have done a greatjob. Lovely to see you. Thank you. Your hair looks great as well, by the way. Thank you now the weather. Carol can tell us all about it. Good morning. A quieter day weather wise today. Good morning. A quieter day weatherwise today. Some showers, some wintry in the northern hills. Look at this. Some sunshine. Breezy, the winds lighter. We have got a weather front moving from the west to the east, taking showers with it. Wintry in the hills. Then we have this ridge of High Pressure following behind. Tomorrow, this next area of low pressure comes our way. Translated that means first thing this morning it is actually a chilly start. A little bit of frost. The first weather front pushing into the north sea. The second one coming in from the west. Also moving east as we go through the day, taking showers with it. Wintry in the hills. They are showers. Not all of us will catch one. In between brighter skies or sunny spells. Temperature wise very similar to what we had yesterday. Seven to about 10 degrees. This evening and overnight a transient ridge of High Pressure comes across us, killing offa pressure comes across us, killing off a lot of the showers. Under clear skies it will be a cold night, colder than the night that has just gone. They will be frost, the risk of ice. Those are the temperatures you can expect in towns and cities. Lower in rural areas. Through the night in the south west and across wales, cloud and some rain will come in. That is the area of low pressure i pointed out. That would bring rain steadily from the south west pushing north eastwards through the day. We start with a lot of sunshine in many parts of the north. And the east. Through the day you can see how the rain advances with the cloud i have it. Brighter skies in north east scotla nd it. Brighter skies in north east scotland tomorrow. This rain moves into northern scotland, as it moves through Northern Ireland, Northern England, wales, the midlands, towards the south east. This through the evening and overnight we still have the area of low pressure producing hill snow and it will continue to move away towards the south east. By the time we get to thursday morning, some clear skies in the north. That continues as we go through the day. More cloud comes in. As low pressure pushes into the north sea, we will start to brighten up. Late sunshine across england and wales, possibly into north west england as well. Then we have another weather front coming our way. Thursday into friday it is a cold front. It would be pushing west to east, bringing some rain. As the name suggests, behind and we will see some colder air digging in as well. Friday is a colder day. A dip in the temperatures. Rain moving west to east. As we had in two saturday and sunday, a right old mixture. Bright spots, some sunshine and some showers, even some rain. The wind will be a feature, picking up the wind will be a feature, picking up in the west on saturday, widely more windy on sunday. It looks like it is going to be a little bit cold with even big names like mothercare and karen millen not immune from going bust, is there anything that can be done to save our high streets . Sarah corker is in Bishop Auckland this morning to find out. Good morning. Yes, good morning from cou nty good morning. Yes, good morning from county durham, where as you say we are talking about the struggles on the high street. What is being done to reverse the decline . Here in Bishop Auckland almost one in four shops is now empty despite but despite that there are new businesses starting up. If we come down here there is a new artisan ba kery down here there is a new artisan bakery opened around ten months ago and we can grab a word withjohn and phil, who believe the high street here is over the worst. Give us a wave, chaps they have been busy baking bread all morning. They are optimistic but this high street, this town, like many across britain, is facing some big challenges. Many of the big chains are long gone. This high street has been in steep decline as our spending habits have changed. Clarks shoes is the latest departure from Bishop Auckland. Its just like a ghost town now. You only come into town if you have to. Theres nothing here to bring you into town for a wander. It is depressing, isnt it . Just depressing, yes. I must admit, im not a keen internet shopper, so id rather have shops and there just. Where are they . Its a bit daunting really, coming and seeing the shop empty. Bernadette rush closed her bridal shop in december after more than a decade of trading. Once the high street lost all of the big names, there was no traction to draw people in. She didnt want to sign a new nine year lease, so now works from home. I havent got the overheads here as i had in the shop. We looked at moving further into the marketplace, and we were talking about thousands of pounds a month, rather than hundreds, and itsjust not affordable in this day and age. Plus, if the rent goes up, your rates go up as well. The Main Shopping Centre at Bishop Auckland. In the 60s and 70s, the town was bustling, once synonymous with coal mining and railways, but over the decades, the change is stark. This was once prime retail space, but its been left to decay. Its been empty since Beales Department store closed for the final time in 2017. And here in Bishop Auckland, almost one in every four shops is now empty. Thats nearly double the uk average. But this man, a city investor and multimillionaire, has a bold vision, built on tourism. Weve got auckland tower, weve got the thing that looks like a porcupine. Jonathan ruffer has been buying up property here. He built this tower and has plans for galleries and museums. I wanted simply to bring Something Back to the region, given that things went well for me down in the south. Can i ask how much of your own money your investing . More than you and i are worth put together. Back on the high street, despite the clear challenges, some young entrepreneurs are willing to take a risk. The high street might look as though its dying, but theres more to the town than the high street. Theres lots of independent retailers and lots of culture, and its more of an experience. You know, you could sell all this from your bedroom at home. Why do you need a shop . We chose to open a shop because there is nothing like this in the area. County durham is known as the land of the prince bishops. This town is trying to reinvent itself by marketing its rich past, swapping retailfor tourism. Now, these loaves have been freshly baked by the head baker. You relocated from london to Bishop Auckland. Why did you do that, given the obvious challenges on this high street . First and foremost, Bishop Auckland is my hometown, so it was inevitable i would be moving back at some point. We moved back about three years ago. Basically with family but also to set up a new business, we saw a gap in the market with bread. The town looks a bit empty but we see it as a bit of a blank canvas. Walking around here, a lot of the big name chains have left, and some units have been empty for more than a decade. Is this a bit of a risk . It is definitely a risk, as in any other town, we see it as risk, as in any other town, we see itasa risk, as in any other town, we see it as a blank canvas and is a lot of independent does nices opening. If we can make a go of it and with the castle reopening there is going to bea castle reopening there is going to be a lot more footfall so now is the chance to grab it. So, as you said, there are plans to transform this town into a centre for tourism, they are renovating the castle, theyve built a big tower on the market place and there are lots of cafe is opening. You run the cafe next door, its a 1950s themed cafe, we can tell by your outfit what have some of the challenges been for you and your sister who run the cafe . Every high street has a challenge. The first challenge we were faced with as we were promised all these big things, it came a little bit later than expected, we thought it was going to drop off, but i think people are after an experience now, they dontjust people are after an experience now, they dont just want to buy clothes, they dont just want to buy clothes, they want a 19505 experience, they dont just want to buy clothe5, they want a 19505 experience, they wa nt they want a 19505 experience, they want to be able to feel something when they go into a shop or a cafe, andl when they go into a shop or a cafe, and i was saying before a lot of the5e and i was saying before a lot of these people do not get to see people during the day so when they are buying online they dont get to 5peak are buying online they dont get to speak to someone. Here, they get that communication, being able to talk to people, being able to get out of the house. You have been running forfour years, out of the house. You have been running for four years, you out of the house. You have been running forfour years, you own out of the house. You have been running for four years, you own the building next door so obviously that reduces your costs, but when people say, as they have over the years, that the high street is dying, what would you say to that . Well, i think every high street is dying, even the amazing one5 every high street is dying, even the amazing ones like york, richmond, probably london has taken a big hit but unless the people are going to 5ta rt but unless the people are going to start using the high 5treet5, they are going to die. But i think we need to offer an experience now, not ju5t shopping, like need to offer an experience now, not just shopping, like the good old days of. So plenty of optimism, and i think at the heart of the regeneration of this town, independent retailers, entrepreneurs willing to take a risk and breathe new life into their town centres. Over the next 12 months we will be charting the changes, the successes and failures on Bishop Auckland high street, as part of a bbc wide project. Lovely to be in Bishop Auckland again, thank you, sarah. After heroically saving Princess Anne from kidnap back in the 1970s, Ronnie Russell was awarded a medal by the queen. Its one of his most cherished possessions, but now, reluctantly, hes decided to sell it. It will be auctioned tomorrow. Ronnie, whos now 72, says he wants the money to ensure he can pay for his own funeral. Fiona lamdin has been to meet him. For the last four decades, Ronnie Russell has never been farfrom his medal keeping it safely in his bedside table. Decorated for protecting the queens only daughter, Princess Anne. She went, this medal thanks you as the queen, but i want to thank you as annes mother. On his way home from work in march 1974, he saw ian ball fire shots, injuring four people including Princess Annes bodyguard. But despite this, he says the Princess Royal stayed very calm. She was the coolest thing or person you could have ever imagined in an incident like that. She just kept sitting there, very, very calm, saying, go away, you silly man. Ronnie then rescued anne from the car. I went to Princess Anne, come this way, anne, youll be safe. I got her by the forearms, lifted her out in front of me, and i said, right, now we are going to walk away and hes going to have to go through me to get you. But ball then turned the gun on ronnie. Did you ever think you were going to die . Yes, idid. And i believe, to this day, that a member of the royal family, as the royal family was then, their life was more valuable than mine. And i was quite happy to be shot. Ronnie finally put a stop to ball, knocking him to the floor. I turned and hes standing there with the gun, and i thought, well, its you or me now. And thats when i hit him, very hard. In fact, had he been a tree, hed still be on the floor in pall mall. Hejust went down. Ball went to prison, ronnie was awarded a medal. But despite rumours, the queen didnt pay off his mortgage. She didnt, no. It didnt happen. And four decades on, ronnie is reluctantly selling his medal. I have reached the stage in my life where ive been very, very unwell for quite some time. I know that death aint far away. But i do believe that i want to, at least when it does happen, id be knowing that ive done enough to pay for my own funeral. And not need then for my brother to bail me out, orfamily to bail me out, i dont want that. Well, this is expected to fetch up to £20,000, but ronnie has one important request, and that is to meet the new owner so that he can share all the details of that night back in 1974, so that the medal and the story of the bravery can Stay Together for future generations. Fiona lamdin, bbc news. Its a shame hes got to sell it. A beautiful thing. Its been on our social media channels. So many people have already reacted to that, how can he be in that position was mike its a sad story but im glad we are able to tell it. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news.

Ahead of receiving his mbe, we catch up with Harry Billinge, the d day veteran who has raised tens of thousands for a memorial honouring his fallen comrades. Good morning. It is a chilly start. For many, bright spells, sunny spells and summer showers. Wintry in the northern hills. More in about ten minutes. Its tuesday, 3rd march. Our top story. Plans to tackle the threat posed by the coronavirus in the uk will be set out by the government today. By the coronavirus in the uk will be its after the Prime Minister said he expects a significant increase in the number of cases. The announcement will include plans to bring doctors and nurses out of retirement. Lets take a look at the global picture. Theres been almost 90,000 confirmed cases of the illness worldwide, although the majority of those are in china. The virus has now been detected in 67 countries, including italy, the us and iran. Here in the uk, 39 people have tested positive. Keith doyle has the latest. Back home, these are some of the hundreds of british holiday makers who were kept in isolation at a hotel in tenerife. Around 100 who were cleared by medics arrived last night. Its been awful. Awful. Horrible holiday. Were home, yeah brilliant those who were allowed to fly home must now isolate themselves for two weeks. With more people choosing not to fly at the moment, British Airways and ryanair have cancelled hundreds of flights to many european destinations, as well as some to the us. Both airlines said there had been a significant fall in demand. Another confirmed case of coronavirus in the uk has led to the closure of one of the countrys leading music and drama schools, the Guildhall School in london. In a statement the school confirmed a member of Teaching Staff has tested positive for covid 19. The school says he came into contact with a limited number of pupils while teaching last week. And they are receiving what it calls appropriate urgent advice. The teacher is recovering well at the Royal Free Hospital in london. All meetings, workshops and performances have been cancelled for the next two weeks, and the staff have been encouraged to work from home. With more countries reporting confirmed cases, the eu has raised the risk level to high, and the World Health Organization says the world is in uncharted territory. Following yesterdays cobra meeting, the Prime Minister borisjohnson will set out the governments plan to fight this spread of coronavirus later today. He has warned of the virus is likely to spread more widely in the coming days and weeks. Keith doyle, bbc news. In a moment, our correspondent bethany bell will have the latest on the situation in europe. But first, our Political Correspondent chris mason joins us from westminster. We saw more details from the Prime Minister yesterday. Today they will be setting out what is to be done . Yeah, good morning. A sense the government is cranking into action in terms of its public facing concern about what is happening. And the scale of what it might have to do and what it wants us to do as individuals. Here is the Prime Minister. We will be as transparent as we possibly can, but at the moment i just wish to repeat the crucial thing we can all do to help the nhs, to stop the spread of the disease, is wash your hands twice, two verses of happy birthday, hot water. But apart from that, laura, at the moment i should stress that it should be business as usual. Keywords there, at the moment. The government wants to calibrate how it responds to this. It doesnt want us all panicking but it wants to have in place what might be necessary as the scale of this outbreak probably, maybe even possibly, increases. So what are they planning . A major Public Information campaign. We will be hearing more from the government and its scientific advisers, i suspect. And also putting in place the necessary legislation in the coming weeks. For instance, allowing retired nhs staff to be brought back into work if that is necessary in the coming months. And relaxing ratios in schools, so if teachers can no longer work, teachers can look after bigger classes and keep those nurseries and schools open. 0k. Those nurseries and schools open. Ok. More details emerging all the time. Thank you. Bethany bell is in italy this morning. Good morning. Whats the latest there . Here in italy the death toll from coronavirus has risen to 52, and the authorities here say that overall there have been over 2000 confirmed cases of the virus. But in what seems to be a slight glimmer of hope, they say that yesterday there was a smaller number of new reported infections. 258 new infections reported yesterday. That is less than what we have seen over the last days before that. Here they are keeping up their attempts to keep things in quarantine. There are a lot of concerns not just about the virus, but also about the impact of this on a tellys economy and on tourism. Lots of hotels say they are having mass cancellations, not many people are coming to visit. If you talk to italians, many of them say they dont know whether to be concerned about the virus or the impact on the economy. Bethany, thank you. Well be speaking to the Health Secretary, matt hancock, in around ten minutes. We will put some of your questions to him, get some practical advice and find out more about the government plans. The Union Representing senior Civil Servants has demanded an independent investigation into bullying allegations against the home secretary. Priti patel strongly denies the claims. The fda union says it lacks confidence in a government inquiry into the matter, but ministers insist the process is robust and fit for purpose. We have the minister for the Cabinet Office eulogise about the home secretary, tell the house that the Prime Minister fully supports them. Then announce an investigation by his department into the conduct of the home secretary. Who will deal with that . It will be the Prime Minister in private who will deal with the result of that investigation. That is not going to build confidence among Civil Servants. The former us Vice President joe bidens bid for the white house has been given a big boost overnight, after his campaign was backed by two former rivals. It comes ahead of whats known as super tuesday where democrats in fourteen states decide who they think should challenge donald trump in the president ial election later this year. Domestic abusers could be forced to take lie detector tests, as part of new laws being put before mps today. The proposals are part of the long awaited Domestic Abuse bill. If passed, a three year trial would be carried out. James waterhouse explains. Theyre ideas similar to ones once considered by ministers for keeping an eye on terrorists, and have come a step closer for Domestic Abusers. The plans would initially see around 300 defenders take a lie detector test, three months after their release from prison, and every six months after that. If it shows they broke rules around their release, theyd go back inside. Theyd also set a new broader definition of Domestic Abuse, which recognises economic exploitation, where victims finances are controlled by their abuser. In changes to the previous proposals, offenders would be banned from cross examining their victims in all family court proceedings, and councils would be ordered to find safe accommodation for victims and their children. Ministers have called the plans comprehensive, but some charities argue they dont go far enough to help children affected by domestic violence, instead treating them more like witnesses. The nspcc, for example, says the government is missing a landmark opportunity, by leaving thousands still at risk because the help they deserve isnt in place. Either way, if passed, and a three year pilot is successful, these laws would be put in place across england and wales. James waterhouse, bbc news. The uk and the eu have officially started talks on their future relationship after brexit. David frost is leading the uks negotiations, with Michel Barnier representing the eu. The two sides will thrash out deals on everything from fishing, to financial services. The meetings will alternate between brussels and london every two weeks ahead of a key summit injune. The World Champion sprinter, Dina Asher Smith, has been made into a barbie doll to honour her achievements. The fastest woman in british history was chosen by the Toy Company Mattel as one of a group of female role models from around the world. Dina was presented with the doll during a Training Session in london. Thats a good likeness. That is excellent. Isnt it . It is 11 minutes past seven. I have been watching the forecast and i have seen it is going to be cold, good morning. Good morning. This morning it is a cold start. For many today we are looking at bright or sunny spells, also some showers. Light winds. Breezy rather than windy. It is a cold start. A fair bit of sunshine. Two weather fronts, moving west to east, taking showers with them. Likely to be wintry. In between those showers, some brighter skies. As you are coming home and perhaps from work this what you can expect. Still those showers are coming in from the west, travelling east. Wintry on higher ground. Notjust in scotla nd wintry on higher ground. Notjust in scotland but in Northern Ireland and also Northern England. You can also see there is a lot of dry weather. Fewer shares in the west as they tra nsfer to fewer shares in the west as they transfer to the east. By no means will be all see them. As we head through the evening and overnight, a ridge of High Pressure across us. It will be more widespread cold tonight than the night just will be more widespread cold tonight than the nightjust gone. Some frost around. There will also be some wintry showers in the west, as we go through the course of the night temperatures will start to rise in south west. That will herald the arrival of this band of cloud and rain moving from the south west heading steadily north east during the course of wednesday. Still an element of uncertainty as to just how far north diskettes. It may infringe parts of southern scotland. It may not reach that far. If you have outdoor plants, stay tuned to the Weather Forecast. The have outdoor plants, stay tuned to the weatherforecast. The brighter skies across the far north east. Temperatures ranging from six in the north to ten or 11 towards the south west. A the Weather Forecast in halfan south west. A the Weather Forecast in half an hour. Thank you. It has been slightly better. I know wetness is great. There has been serious flooding still. Yeah. Over the last few weeks, youve been sending us lots of questions about the spread of the coronavirus and what it could mean for us here in the uk. Over the last few weeks, youve been sending us lots of questions about the spread of the coronavirus and what it well, last night we had a chance to get you some answers. Heres Rachel Burden and the bbcs medical correspondent, fergus walsh, hosting a bbc news special called coronavirus everything you need to know. Lam from i am from manchester. My question is, do the facemasks actually work . Im more worried about the elderly and children. Who is most at risk . What will happen if i catch coronavirus . We have been told to wash our hands. What else can we do to protect ourselves. That gives you an idea of the kinds of things people want answered. How can we protect ourselves . 0k, number one is hand hygiene. Good old soap and water. It is notjust a quick dangle under the tap. You have get to get a good lather going. Sing two verses of happy birthday. Loads of guides online as to how you should wash your hands. If you are not near soap and water, use some hand sanitiser. The key here is it has got to be alcohol based in order to kill the coronavirus. The other thing is, dont, when you are out and about, touch your face, nose and eyes because you could pick up the virus from surfaces and infect yourself that way. So it is getting out of those kinds of habits, coughing into tissues that kind of thing . Absolutely. What about facemasks . How effective are they . These are not really much good, they may give a false sense of security. Leave them to the medical staff because they need to be changed frequently. They are quite good at preventing someone with an infection from passing it on, thats traditionally how they have been used, but those people should be staying at home. Are some people more vulnerable than others . Anyone can catch it, the good news is, Young Children are really pretty much in the clear on this virus, in fa ct, much in the clear on this virus, in fact, so far, of the reported cases, only two out of 100 have been in people under 20 years old. Most at risk are the all terrain foot of the older you are, the greater your risk. And those with Underlying Health problems, things like heart disease, respiratory disease and diabetes. But this is an indiscriminate virus, it can kill young people as well. One of the first to die was a doctor in china who first raised the alarm about it and he was 34. And a question from peter on twitter right now, how long does the virus live on surfaces such as mail, food and packaging . 0k, there is very little evidence that there is very little evidence that there is very little evidence that there is any risk from getting post from italy or china where the virus could last. It can survive on hard surfaces for quite a few hours. Is it possible to be a carrier of the virus but do not actually display the symptoms . Yes, it is. These carriers, there is quite a lot of reported cases, they can be potentially shedding the virus and potentially shedding the virus and potentially infecting other people but those who are giving off the most virus are the most sick because they are coughing and sneezing, and thats why Health Care Workers are at particular risk. And you can catch up with the programme in full, coronavirus everything you need to know, on the bbc iplayer. If that has made you ask any further questions, fear not, because the Health Secretary will be with us very shortly on bbc breakfast so we will be speaking to him in the next few minutes. Im actuallyjust watching at the moment, out of the corner of my eye, so you know whats going on, matt hancock isjust having his microphone put on, and hopefully he will be able to hear us in the next couple of minutes. So many things to talk to him about, lots of questions. What we should be doing on a personal level and also what information there is on the governmental level. And also lots of discussion about sporting events at the moment. Sally has been talking about the six nations, we will be speaking to two cyclists because there are concerns about the olympics, we saw the tokyo marathon being run on empty streets. It was only the elite runners taking part. There are concerns about what we should be doing, lots of stuff in the paper today about hand washing, not shaking hands. Shall we find out . Is ready . There you go. Is to hancock, thank you very much. We we re hancock, thank you very much. We were watching you taking your seat, its good to get you on the programme today. Im sure you will appreciate, lots of our viewers have questions. I know that you are announcing the Government Action plan today. Can you run us through the key features of that for our viewers . Yes, what we are setting out today is the action plan that we have for how we deal with this virus, both now, in this stage we are trying to contain it, and when the numberof are trying to contain it, and when the number of cases is relatively small, and each case gets, the person will obviously get full treatment, but also we get in contact with all the people they have been in contact with, and thats how we are trying to stop the spread and stop this becoming a pandemic or widespread. But the plan also goes through how we will delay its becoming widespread, the research we are doing into it, and then critically, should it become a pandemic, the actions that we might have to take to mitigate it. Its quite unusual for a government to publish a plan that includes things that we hope that we will not have to do, because we are trying to contain it without it becoming widespread. But there is clearly a significant risk that will happen, and therefore, we are laying out for people the sorts of things that we might have to do that will help us to deal with this disease, and to keep people safe. I appreciate there is that balance which you are always trying to get right about not getting the public to panic about these things, but also to make sure you are in the right state of preparedness. What we mentioned in the introduction, in the case of what happened with the marathon in tokyo, can you give us an example, for a specific of the london marathon, which is eight weeks away, 750,000 people expected on the streets, watching 40,000 runners, is Something Like that in your plans, to look at what you might have to do if things continue at a pace over the next few weeks . As you say, might have to. It is too early to be able to tell in that instance. What we can say for sure is that right now, we do not recommend cancelling mass events, and for instance, schools as well should not be closing, unless there is both a positive case and the school has had the advice to close from Public Health england. Right now as long as you wash your hands more often, that is the number one thing you can do to keep you and the country safe, and catch a sneeze or cough if you have one and follow the Public Health advice, especially you if you have travelled from one of the affected areas. That is what people should be doing, and otherwise going about their normal daily life. We wa nt about their normal daily life. We want to minimise the level of disruption, subject to doing the things we need to do to keep people safe. But we also are setting out in this plan that there may be things we have to do down the line that we may not want to, but we will need the powers to do that, hence proposing emergency legislation in the house of commons, and just setting out for people, it is a reality of this disease that the sorts of actions that the government would not normally take and normally doesnt want to take, that may be necessary to keep people safe. What about shaking hands, is that something you are doing . Or are you going for the elbow or the foot, as some people were getting . going for the elbow or the foot, as some people were getting . I saw that we have had a discussion with the scientists and take on scientific advice, and the scientific advice, and the scientific advice, and the scientific advice is that the impact of shaking hands is negligible, and what really matters is that you wash your hands more often. As long as your hands more often. As long as you wash your hands more often, handshaking is ok. But of course i understand if people dont want to shake hands as well. I mean, thats fine. The end of handshaking is not something that the scientists are recommending. Lots of questions from our viewers. The issue of syncope, which i know the government said they were very alive to the problem yesterday. The issue of sick pay. People not getting those first few days of sick pay. Then its that question, do you chance it going to work, feeling you might not be able to pay for certain things if you are not covered by sick pay was meant what is your advice for people who might be in that situation, thinking about the potential threat of coronavirus or symptoms they might have, but worrying about how to pay the bills . Well, if you selfisolate for medical reasons in order to keep others safe, then that counts as being sick, sick pay purposes, we have a robust sick pay system in this country, based in law, of course we keep all these things under review, but the clear legal advice is that if you are self isolating, or asked to self isolate to keep other people healthy, then you are, that is as if you are yourself sick. So the important thing is that if people are ill, then they of course should stay at home, in the same way as if you are ill with any other contagious disease. And in the first instance, that is true while youre waiting for test results, then if you test negative, you go about your normal business, if you test positive, and you will get the full support of the nhs. In most cases, around four in five cases of this disease, as far as we know, it is relatively mild, like a bad cough. But that of course isnt the case for everybody, and especially for older people and more vulnerable people. So the sorts of actions we are thinking of taking that we will set out in the action plan later today, we will include ones that are targeted to support people who are more vulnerable, because the overall goal is to minimise the disruption, the economic disruption, social disruption, whilst of course having the core goal of keeping people safe. On that issue of older and more vulnerable people, you have the World Health Organization saying people over the age of 60 should avoid crowds, yet part of your plan as we understand it is to ask doctors and nurses to come out of retirement to help support the nhs. How have you balanced that desire with the concern about some of those older people and those who are more vulnerable . Actually there is quite a lot of doctors who have retired before the age of 62, so thats. We are going to need as many as possible people caring, if we end up in the situation where this goes widespread, and there are record numbers of people currently employed in the nhs but clearly, if you suddenly have a significant proportion of the population who are ill, it will be all hands on deck. But the broader point, which the who was saying at the weekend, is that measures that specifically help people who are most likely to get very ill or are most at risk of dying, which is older people and people with a pre existing health condition, by targeting measures that we take to support them, it causes less overall disruption, but does more to keep people safe. So thatis does more to keep people safe. So that is the sort of direction that you would expect us to be taken, thats set out in the plan, if we end up in the situation where this is widespread, which is not yet certain. Thank you for your updates on all of that regarding coronavirus. Can i ask you about your cabinet colleague priti patel this morning was my cue we have seen legal document saying that a former aide to the home secretary received aide to the home secretary received a pay out from the government claim she was bullied by the then climate minister, as priti patel was at the time. Was the Prime Minister aware of this was mike bullied by the then employment secretary. There is a process in place to deal with this, and there is potential legal action as well. So you wouldnt expect me to comment on the details of it. What i would say is that priti is robust and determined, what you would expect from a home secretary, also courteous and kind andl secretary, also courteous and kind and i have never seen her be anything other than highly courteous and professional in all the work ive done with her over many years. So you think the enquiry will clear her of these allegations . There is a process and im not going to prejudge that and i dont know a lot of the details of this case, ive been concentrating on coronavirus. But there is that process in place, we should allow it to run its course. Thank you for commenting on both those subjects this morning and im sure we will speak to you again. Thanks for being with us. Lots of interesting things coming from that interview, interesting thing about self isolation, if you do that, it is as if you are sick. We will be talking to the boss of greggs about the impact on business a little later. And thank goodness it is not the death of the handshake we have gone for a sort of comical elbow.

Uefa will discuss its response later this morning, with games in italy called off and the Swiss Football League suspending all matches. Liverpool managerjurgen klopp believes reports suggesting the season could be abandoned are unhelpful. How much sense it would make to delete all the results of this season and tell me who will play in next year in the Champions League and stuff like this, would be a really interesting. A nice story but some newspapers always write something. When i saw it first time i really thought, wow. Really something. Somebody thinks Something Like that . Liverpool fans are not silly enough to believe in these things. Arsenal are through the quarter finals of the fa cup after a win against portsmouth. Sokratis put the gunners ahead just before half time. They made it 2 0 in the second half. They find out who they play after the quarterfinal draw on wednesday. Former liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge has been banned from football for four months for breaching betting rules. Its after a successful appeal by the Football Association to extend his original ban. Sturridge was banned for six weeks lastjuly, for providing his family with inside betting information on impending transfers. An appeal board also doubled his fine to £150,000. And everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has been charged with misconduct after he was sent off on sunday after their draw with manchester united.

Watch the whole seven and a half minutes. If you are feeling a bit down, watch it. It goes to her home, has a chat with her family. While he is there he goes, you need to come toa game. Is there he goes, you need to come to a game. Hang on a minute, you need to be a mascot. Well done to ben foster. Good on watford for putting it out there as well. If theres one boxing showdown Everyone Wants to see, its tyson fury against antonyjoshua. However, it doesnt look like that will happen. After regaining the heavyweight belts, joshua is making his return to the ring in the uk on the 20th ofjune. But it will be against the mandatory ibf challenger kubrat pulev. The bulgarian is former european champion. Now, sprinter Dina Asher Smith is the fastest british woman in history. And ahead of International Womens day, she was honored with her barbie for her. As a World Champion, and four time european champion she certainly is an inspiration. The doll even has a necklace similar to the one dina wears. I was just kind of taken aback by how much it actually looked like me. The details are so precise, little gold rings, necklace, the hair is there with the god braids, with the curls through it. And also the skin tone and most importantly for me, the muscle tone as well. I think its really important that young girls see all aspects of femininity. Couldnt agree more. I think you should have one. I think after we see the sport relief documentary, are we allowed to say what robert rendered referred to as . Im not sure we can. Frankie bridge tried her best to be honest but i look to sew and stylish. She goes, louise, brush your hair. She tried her best. In the desert it doesnt matter. Anyway, you will see. Robert render believes you are hard as nails. We had such fun. You might remember last year we met d day veteran Harry Billinge. He made it his mission to build enough money to build a National Memorialfor build enough money to build a National Memorial for his fallen comrades. Remarkable man. He has raised tens of thousands of pounds and his efforts will be officially recognised today when he receives an mbe at Buckingham Palace. Tim muffett is there now. Good morning. Good morning. Harry billinge has inspired so many viewers over the past year. He is a d day veteran, he landed on gold beach. He is also a fundraiser extraordinaire, as you say. And today he will be honoured here with an mbe at Buckingham Palace. I have been lucky enough to meet him on several occasions over the past year. His generosity, his once, his spirit, is truly inspirational. And last night i caught up with him to see how hes feeling ahead of his day. Dont say im a hero. Im not a hero. I was lucky. Im here. All the heroes are dead. And ill neverforget them as long as i live. D day veteran, fundraiser extraordinaire, Harry Billinge might not consider himself a hero others disagree. We thank you. Dont be silly. Harry, youre about to receive your mbe. How are you feeling . Overwhelmed, really. I never expected any medal for collecting a few pounds, or £1000 for the boys that never came back. I didnt expect any of this and i didnt want any of this. Really. I wanted to do it for the fellas that never came back. And when i get this medal, its in memory of every one of them fellas, 22,432 men killed in a day on that beach where i landed. And its never left me. Never left me. Youve raised so much money, more than £22,000 £1 for every british soldier killed during the normandy landings. I cannot tell you how much, because theres millions of people that have joined my army, they call it, harrys army, but all that i set out to do, i achieved. And im still doing it. Ill go out there on market day and everybodys kind, theyll give me tea, coffee, all the ladies come up, and ill have lots and lots and lots of £20 notes, never mind about pounds have you ever been to Buckingham Palace before . Never. I never thought. I never thought id ever get in with the royalty. But im deeply moved and im very thankful. I served under george vi. Now, he was a lovely man. He stayed with us in the bombing, in the blitz. And i always had a great admiration for him. And i know he was a kind man. And he didnt want the job, but he took over. He didnt want the job. And i didnt want to have to go out and collect money, but i did it, because it was my duty, and thats why the king took over hisjob. For duty. Not much duty about today, not much loyalty. And not much friendship. These people today are always fighting one another. There is no peace in the world. And all these fellas, in my estimation, that died, what for . What for . This will be an extraordinary day for an extraordinary man. Ive been so moved by it. Ive got big tears in my eyes. But im not proud. No, but i feel satisfied. Im very grateful to everybody whos been so kind. Harry will be arriving here a little later. I am thrilled to say i will be spending most of the day with him. And tomorrow on breakfast we will bring you that and see how harry reacted to and dealt with the enormous day ahead of him. One thing i stress so much, when you meet her you realise what a humble, generous spirit he is. He doesnt want any of these adulation. He doesnt want any of the recognition. But my goodness he deserves it. Many of us are so happy he is going to be receiving his mbe here today at Buckingham Palace. And also, what a lovely day for it as well. Thank you very much. You will be following that closely. We will show you that tomorrow. As well as that ben foster with the mascot at watford, that is another story to warm your heart. This might concern you. Did you know your Baby Monitors and smart cameras could be at risk of being hacked by criminals . This morning, the government is warning us to take extra care and ensure our gadgets are secure, and theyve released some top tips to help us do so. Well find out more on those in a moment. But first, lets take a look back at a bbc panorama investigation in 2018, where it was discovered alan and his wifejean had been spied on through their smart home cameras. We moved over here, somebody broke into my shed and took a bike so i realised it would be a good idea to have some more cameras outside, so i put two more cameras up, better quality ones which enabled me to see in more detail what was going on. Since 2015, the camera has been viewed nearly 5000 times. Oh, no in 17 Different Countries. My gosh joining us now from our london newsroom is ciaran martin, whos the chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre. And here in the studio is Technology Expert Tom Cheesewright and parent blogger vicki psarias. Thank you very much for being with us this morning. Tom, you have a little gadget there, the sort of camera that can be hacked . What the concerns . Just this sense of some dark security expert breaking into your computer, sat behind a keyboard but we are really talking about some basic precautions. If we dont change the default username or password, or turn of the automatic capabilities of these things to broadcast the signal onto the internet, your camera could be accessible from anywhere in the world. So that would mean what . When you first get the camera, you go in and change the settings otherwise that video feed and the photos from that video feed and the photos from that camera could be accessible to anybody on the internet. And very easy to find as well stop dreaming and it is notjust cameras, it is Baby Monitors. What have you got in your house . I have a lot of tech which i will have to be rethinking. Notjust the default which i will have to be rethinking. Not just the default universal passwords, im quite good with passwords, im quite good with passwords, im quite good with passwords, i have two step authentication, but to know that people can be spying on me, ironically we are trying to implement more Safety Measures in our homes and actually, its very easy to be viewed through your laptop camera, you should put some sellotape are possibly on it, but shouldnt we have labelling on electric toys that are linked, they have cameras or your wi fi, should there be responsibility from manufacturers to inform us, in the same way as if there were small parts in the toy, there would be choking issues . The government is proposing to change the rules around these products so that manufacturers are obliged to ensure there is no default passwords, some of these sensible, basic security settings are put in automatically. It is worrying that someone could be viewing your kids through a robotic toy. Lets pick up on some of those thoughts. Exactly that, we have heard a lot of things mentioned, but even childrens toys and some of them able to be connected to the internet, quite a lot of them could be used to spy on people . Well, whilst this is obviously a very concerning discussion, and that story from alan and jean is truly horrible, i think there are encouraging aspects to the store in terms of the way in which tom has outlined the steps you can take to reduce the risk, and vicki talked about the move towards labelling, which we are doing. In the meantime we are giving people three easy ways to get the sort of peace of mind you need for the cameras in your home. Tom has mentioned changing the default password to something strong, we recommend three random words that you will remember but no one else can easily guess. He also mentioned switching of the features you do not use. That can reduce the risk. That there isjust you do not use. That can reduce the risk. That there is just to you do not use. That can reduce the risk. That there isjust to make sure you are doing all your security updates properly. Many of these devices will do that automatically, check that, and if it is automatic, so much the better, if not, do it anyway. You sort of assume when you are buying it, are we being ignorant . If you buy a camera, a Security Camera on the front of your house you assume that other people will not be able to access it. You should, and that is true for most of them but we done independent investigations, and we have found sufficient grounds for concern to issue this guidance to help people manage that risk. The way the internet developed over time, didnt have security in mind, and as we move towards these devices like cameras in the home, we need to be more aware so that people will be able to tell which products have the best security. Until that is ready, and it should be ready soon because we have to get it absolutely right, until that is ready, take these three easy steps to make sure the risk, which is already a low risk, i should say, and incidences of those horrible sorts of compromises are relatively rare, so until the new syste m relatively rare, so until the new system is ready, take these steps to reduce the risk dramatically to yourselves and your family. Tom and vicki were nodding along. Its most of regulation up with the technology. We have been in this place, get smart stuff in your home, connect everything to the wi fi, yet there are some gaps which allow people access that. These things are cheap and mass produced, they have fairly default software, they come out of factories in thousands or millions and there will only be more of them in the future the new technology making it more easy to implement these things, now is the time to take these precautions are now as a time for better labelling and legislation around them to give us that protection. Do you even know how many of these devices are in your house . Most of us have lots. We have alexa, we are reliant on technology and it is smart but the hackers seem to be smarter than the tech. And we have to, as users, take some response ability as well but we need the government to pass this legislation and keep us safe. Need the government to pass this legislation and keep us safe] need the government to pass this legislation and keep us safe. Is it a good idea to not throw away the user manual as well . If you need to go back in and find out how to change your password or switch of the default settings, that can be an issue . Although to be honest there issue . Although to be honest there is so much good information on the internet now, if you cant find the manual, go on a search engine. There is probably a Youtube Video explaining it. Thanks very much talking to us this morning. And heres a reminder of those security tips from the National Cyber Security Centre. If your smart camera already has a default password, change it to a unique one that means something to you. Make sure your Cameras Software is updated. And if you dont need to view your smart cameras remotely, then switch off those features. As tom said, if you dont have the manual, just type the model name or whatever it is, into the internet and normally, either the manual pops up and normally, either the manual pops up or somebody else who has had the same issue will show you how to do it. And you can put a sticker over the camera if you are not using it, ta ke the camera if you are not using it, take it down or disconnect it or stick some sellotape over it. Thats what we are going to do going round the house, but in gaffer tape on everything. It isjust after ten to eight. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. That is a lovely view, although i expect chilly beautiful weather watchers picture from cumbria. And you can see the blue sky from suffolk. We are looking at the day of high spells, some sunny spells but also some showers in the forecast. Light winds, so just breezy, showers in the forecast. Light winds, sojust breezy, really. We have this weather front moving from west to east, bringing showers with it, some of those wintry in the northern hills. Then we have a ridge of High Pressure before the next area of low pressure comes our way tomorrow. So if you are stepping out first thing it is chilly, but some sunshine around. We have had a shower is moving across scotland and Northern England overnight, the second front coming in producing these showers, wintry in the northern hills, they are also drifting east, but the showers, not only might not all of us will catch ones. Some high cloud around or sunny skies to look forward to. Temperatures are similar to yesterday, between 7 and 11 celsius. This evening and overnight, a ridge of High Pressure comes across, that will kill off many of the showers, still a few across the far north of the country. It is going to be a cold night, but you can see cloud and some rain courtesy of that low pressure coming in across South West England and wales. So temperatures will actually slowly rise for a few. But for the rest of us, it will be a cold night, colder more widespread than the night that has just gone with some frost and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces where we have seen showers. Tomorrow dawns on a bright note, a lot of sunshine, still a few showers in the north and west, the low pressure continues to push north eastwards as we go through the day, bringing rain to parts of Northern Ireland, Northern England, the midlands down towards the south east. It just england, the midlands down towards the south east. Itjust might get as far as southern scotland, a little bit of uncertainty about that. But as we push further north, we are into brighter conditions particularly north east scotland. Temperatures ranging from 6 to 11 celsius. As we go through the evening and overnight, into tomorrow, we still have this area of low pressure with the colder air at night falling as snow on some of the hills. Through tomorrow we will start to pull away into the north sea, leaving a legacy of cloud behind it. It will brighten up, South West England and wales later in the day, possibly north west england. After a bright start for scotla nd england. After a bright start for scotland and northern a bit more cloud coming from the west, head of this next weather system. That is a cold front and as it moves from west to east, colder air will follow behind it. So a chilly day on friday, the wind strengthening through the weekend. In the past hour, the bakery chain greggs has published its annual results. Its reporting sales were up 13. 5 in 2019. But the business has warned that february sales have been much lower because poor weather has kept shoppers away from the high street. We can speak now to the chief executive of greggs, roger whiteside. Good morning, thanks forjoining us. How come, we talk about the high street all the time and things being bad on high street, you seem to be bucking the trend, how is that . M has been a long journey but we have been transforming the business for six years, moving away from traditional bakery to a growing market, and in doing that we have been transforming our shops and repositioning them. If you go back six years, 80 of the shops were on high street but today it is less than 60 . We expect that to carry on and probably less than 50 by the time we reach 2500 shops. That is interesting, what do you think the impact will be on the rest of the high street . Sorry, i cant hear you. Can you hear me now . I was interested to hear you say you have fewer shops, how will that impact on the high street . Yes, the high street has been reshaped and we are still very successful in high streets, we have hundreds of shops in the high streets we expect to have hundreds long into the future. We are busy making our shops bigger in the high streets because as they start to change in the nature, people are using them more for when they want to go shopping, its still a pleasurable leisure experience and people like seats and a nice environment in which to relax and greggs wants to respond to that. Lets talk about also the coronavirus, how are you preparing for it . We are concerned like everybody. We can be confident of our preparations as far as anything thatis our preparations as far as anything that is within our own control. So we safeguard our own staff and maintain ourown we safeguard our own staff and maintain our own operations should be the impact of the virus in some way either in our shops or bakeries. What we can be less sure of is what happens in the long term should be widespread contagion, in which case, how might that affect demand, then we would have to react accordingly. I suppose the question will be, people are having to self isolate, what does that mean, do they still get paid with glue our default position is, we dont have zero contact hours. Mixer whenever we get a problem, like a couple of weeks ago we had a bakery flooding as a result of the weather in wales, our default position is to pay contract hours but obviously we are in uncharted territory so if this was to become widespread and last for a long time we might have to review that position. But our immediate position is to go to default, to pay contract hours. Thanks for your time. Im glad we got there its good to be honest as well, if you cant hear the question, say so. Lets get the news, travel and weather wherever you are. Good morning from bbc london, im tara welsh.

Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There are minor delays on the metropolitan line and severe delays on the piccadilly line this morning. And the overg round is part suspended. There are some minor delays on the thameslink because of a points failure at bedford station and trespassers on the track.

Its a chilly start this morning, temperatures hovering around 0 celsius. The best of the sunshine likely to be this morning, variable amounts of cloud later with some well scattered showers. So some sunshine to start we had clear skies last night, but the cloud will gradually increase through the day, bringing with it one or two showers. They will be well scattered, and we will get some sunny spells between. Temperatures today between 8 and 10 celsius. A westerly breeze making things feel perhaps a bit chillier. Overnight, dry and clear, again, the temperature dropping right the way down, could see zero in one or two spots, maybe below. You might get some frost tomorrow morning.

I will have more in about ten minutes. Its tuesday, 3rd march. Our top story plans to tackle the threat posed by the coronavirus in the uk will be set out by the government today. Its after the Prime Minister said he expects a significant increase in the number of cases. The announcement will include plans to bring doctors and nurses out of retirement. We will turn were speaking to Health Secretary matt hancock about that in the last of her we were speaking to Health Secretary matt hancock. Lets take a look at the global picture. Theres been almost 90,000 confirmed cases of the illness worldwide, although the majority of those are in china. The virus has now been detected in 67 countries, including italy, the us and iran. Here in the uk, 39 people have tested positive. In a moment, well go to our correspondent laura scott in amsterdam, where theres a uefa meeting being held on the impact of coronavirus on sport. But first, our Political Correspondent chris mason joins us from westminster. Chris, we are having a really good chat with matt matt hancock about what those government plans might be, even the practical issue of shaking hands, he says he is still shaking hands, he says he is still shaking hands, he says he is still shaking hands but understands why some people do not want to. There is a real sense name of the government wanting to be seen to greatness and set out its concerns about how the future might pan out and what it is going to do about it. There is also, as you were saying, a real emphasis on personal responsibility. We are hearing again and again, i think we can get used to hearing this over and over again can get used to hearing this over and overagain in can get used to hearing this over and over again in the coming days, ministers saying hand washing is absolutely key in all of this and we should be washing our hands for the length of time it takes us to sing happy birthday twice. Some others of a maupay charted bent have been talking about singing the National Anthem while hand washing instead. Then there is the whole question of shaking hands. Health secretary matt hancock has been on breakfast in the last half hour, what is he for . Hancock has been on breakfast in the last halfhour, what is he for . We have had a discussion with the scientists and taken scientific advice, the advice of the impact of shaking hands is negligible and what really matters is that you wash your hands more often. So long as you wash your hands more often, handshaking is ok, but i totally understand people dont want to shake hands as well. That is fine. Quick word about what the government is doing today, there will be a News Conference in the next couple of hours with the Prime Minister, chief medical officer and chief scientific adviser for the government. There will be talk about how in the coming weeks there will be legislation to ensure that retired nhs staff can be brought back into hospitals if necessary if the outbreaks significantly worse, and also talk about loosening the restrictions on ratios in nurseries and schools as far as staff and children are concerned so that nurseries and schools can stay open if staff are often sick, butjust instead teach rather larger classes for a shorter period of time while this virus is being dealt with if staff are off sick. Lets go now to our Sports Correspondent laura scott in amsterdam. There will be a meeting of uefa later to discuss the coronavirus. It is having quite an impact on sports . Yes, a big impact. Although coronavirus is not officially on the agenda at the uefa conference in amsterdam, it is certain to come up. We spoke to delegates on their way in, they say they are not panicking and will wait for government advice but there are concerns about euro 2020 being played across 12 cities this summer and the crisscrossing of fa ns a cross this summer and the crisscrossing of fans across the continent. It is not just football, there is the Cheltenham Festival next week, the six nations has been affected and the formula 1 grand prix has been postponed. Attention will turn to tokyo 2020 this summer. The International Olympic committee are meeting in lausanne and coronavirus will come up there as well. It could have even more of an impact than it has turnover the coming months. Thank you, laura. The Union Representing senior Civil Servants has demanded an independent investigation into bullying allegations against the home secretary. Priti patel strongly denies the claims. The fda union says it lacks confidence in a government inquiry into the matter, but ministers insist the process is robust and fit for purpose. We have the minister for the Cabinet Office eulogise about the home secretary, tell the house that the Prime Minister fully supports them. Then announce an investigation by his department into the conduct of the home secretary. Who will deal with that . It will be the Prime Minister in private who will deal with the result of that investigation. That is not going to build confidence among Civil Servants. The former us Vice President joe bidens bid for the white house has been given a big boost overnight, after his campaign was backed by two former rivals. It comes ahead of whats known as super tuesday where democrats in 14 states decide who they think should challenge donald trump in the president ial election later this year. Our north america correspondent, sophie long, reports. Winning the democratic nomination to be the person to take on President Trump is all about gathering delegates. On super tuesday more than a third of them are up for grabs, more than on any other day in this long, gruelling campaign. Its big. And its even bigger this time because california, the most populous state with hundreds of delegates, is also taking part. About a quarter of those eligible to vote are hispanic. Some are voting for the first time after coming to citizenship classes like this. Theyre passionate about being part of this political process. It is good to become a citizen because you can vote. Like, you feel like people are going to hear your voice. So it is good to become a citizen because you can work for the person that you believe is going to change our world. You can vote for. Issues that are important to them are immigration, of course, but also education, health care and the economy. In more rural areas, farmers want to know who the candidate will be and what solutions they propose for the many issues affecting this huge and diverse country. Right now the focus is trying to narrow this field down and getting a better picture of what that looks like. You know, we know what trumps proposals are, particularly when it comes to water, which is so important for the farmers and ranchers here. Thats a critical issue that hes been very supportive of locally. So to see what the other candidate, or candidates, as it starts to narrow down, proposes, its going to be a big interest to us. While no one could win the nomination on super tuesday, it can get them a long way towards it. Senator Bernie Sanders has taken the lead in the liberal lane and the national polls. Former Vice President joe biden had been limping at the start of this marathon, but his big win in South Carolina has put him back in contention atjust the right time. His performance could be helped by other moderates dropping out and endorsing him. But enter the late starter. On the ballot for the first time is billionaire mike bloomberg, and he has been converting his cash into campaign ads. Also running still are Senators Elizabeth Warren and tulsi gabbard. It is the day political pundits have been waiting for. It could make or break candidates campaigns. But it might not. Sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. That is one to follow in the next few weeks and months. Back here. Domestic abusers could be forced to take lie detector tests, as part of new laws being put before mps today. The proposals are part of the long awaited Domestic Abuse bill. If passed, a three year trial would be carried out. James waterhouse explains. The Home Office Said many of the proposals were widely supported. The uk and the eu have officially started talks on their future relationship after brexit. David frost is leading the uks negotiations, with Michel Barnier representing the eu. The two sides will thrash out deals on everything from fishing, to financial services. The meetings will alternate between brussels and london every two weeks ahead of a key summit injune. Those are some of the main stories around this morning. If you have watched a word, it is back for another series. Christopher ecclestone will be here. My Favourite Television programme over the last five years, marvellous, the man behind the a word is behind that as well so i am looking forward to seeing him. Im sorry, i dont remember that i was talking to sally about that, not you, sally try to listen to you. I also listen to carol carefully. I never watched qatar marvellous, either. Good morning, it is a cold start to the day. Today is once againa day start to the day. Today is once again a day of bright spells, also need spells, and showers. We are starting on acer ninos across many areas, that is why it is cold. We have had clear skies, two lines of showers, on the hills of Northern England, scotland and Northern Ireland, they will be wintry. Temperatures very similar to yesterday. As you perhaps headed back from school or work there will be showers this afternoon and also some sunshine. Similarly so across Northern Ireland and Northern England, most of the showers by then well be in the east. For wales, the art one or two, drying up nicely across South West England in the midlands, with the showers on and off across east anglia and the south east, but they are showers so we will not all catch them. We see lots of the showers clear away, clear skies until we watch the clouds and rain coming from the south west. It will not be as cold by the end of the night, but for the rest others it is. You might have to scrape frost off your car first thing, and there is the risk of ice on damp surfaces. But lots of dry weather to start tomorrow, cloud and rain coming in from the south west, pushing that further north through the course of the day, still some showers in the north west with highs up showers in the north west with highs up to 11. Thank you very much, carol. Borisjohnson says its highly likely coronavirus will continue to spread around the uk. But the government says it has a plan to tackle the outbreak. We were talking to the Health Secretary about that around 45 minutes ago. Emergency measures, which will be announced in full later, include bringing retired doctors and nurses back into the nhs, eraxing the rules around staff to pupil ratios to allow for staff sickness, if necessary, giving people the option to work from home, and the establishment of a war room in the Cabinet Office, bringing together scientists and other experts. To get a sense of how that might work, werejoined now by the bbcs medical correspondent, fergus walsh, michelle piertney, a Senior Advisor at acas and professor tom solomon, who is the director of the uks Health Protection Research Unit in emerging infections at the university of liverpool. I think ithinki i think i will start with you, tom, we have spoken to you throughout the last few weeks also. Where are we right now . The number of cases have gone up, what is your assessment . M the uk we are more or less where we expected. We have had a small number of cases which has continued to grow slowly, we have had similar transmission from some of these cases but that has been picked up very quickly, we have continued to have more imported cases, the last three were from italy, so i think we are more or less where we would expect to be with this type of outbreak. Fergus, where does this compare with other virus outbreaks you have seen . I have covered a lot of outbreaks h5n1 bird flu, i am vaccinated against that. It had a vaccine. Ebola, sars and the one we are all familiar with, hini swine flu, which was a pandemic, that strain of flu is one of the strains switches circulating. This has greater potential than all of them to cause major impact on all others, on our health, on the nhs, on the economy. We have seen what it has to in china in hubei province, and what it has done in parts of italy. I use the word potential because we are not there yet, it looks like were heading for a major outbreak the uk, it seems likely, the longer we can delay the for the nhs. But if there isa delay the for the nhs. But if there is a major outbreak here then i would expect to see a lot of pressure on intensive care beds, because the minority of people who get very sick need oxygen and take a lot of time to recover, that would have a knock on impact on nonurgent operations, which is why we are seeing all those measures being announced today that happens. Seeing all those measures being announced today that happensm seeing all those measures being announced today that happens. It is about language as well, pandemic, when mated to be declared a pandemic and what is going on in wuhan . We talk about how many people have died, but not necessarily how many people have recovered . Died, but not necessarily how many people have recovered . In terms of recovery, it looks like the death rate is, sadly, around 1 , but that means that 99 of people have recovered, it is not like the other 99 of people are still in hospital orare 99 of people are still in hospital or are unwell, that is more positive. The term pandemic means we have an epidemic in many countries which is severe, which we are not containing. It isjust a which is severe, which we are not containing. It is just a word which describes the state we are at. Declaring it a pandemic would not make a big difference to what we need to do, and we are giving those measures in this country and others around the world. The situation in wuhan is interesting, the report seemed to change almost daily about where they are to. We dont seem to have the massive growth that we did have the massive growth that we did have in terms of cases. We are not sure if that is due to a lack of availability of testing, but the numbers overall are not growing how they were and that is probably due to the containment measures which have had an impact, to what extent will be introduces measures . We have had 39 patients out of 65 million, it would not be appropriate to do the massive social distancing measures and it would be proportionate dependent on where we are in the outbreak. The Health Secretary was talking about personal responsibility, michelle, lots of people are asking about school and work. Full says in the event of a national ogden, who will refund my travel plans that i cannot use and who will pay the loss of my wages . Another viewer says in the event of a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread, with the government papers who are at home a regular universal income to cover the shortfall . The government are discussing these things at the moment . Money will be ofa things at the moment . Money will be of a major concern to so many people. Who refunds the National Rail pass, that would probably be a question for whoever it is that controls the rail network. In terms of employers, what we are encouraging is that as much as possible employers provide Hand Sanitisers and employees should wash their hands as often as possible, as i think you have talked an awful lot about. The flag carrier for hand washing but also that people used tissues and that there are adequate facilities for getting rid of used tissues and they are not left lying around. It might also be that people would want to think about perhaps cleaning keyboards and possibly if you dont have your own headset, making sure telephones and if possible just use your own. To go back to what the Health Secretary said, if you yourself isolate for medical reasons to keep others safe, that cancer as being sick for sick pay purposes. That was breaking news this morning. That counts as being sick. There are different sets of circumstances, why people might be off work, the first owners they are illand be off work, the first owners they are ill and diagnosed by a medical expert. Irrespective of the illness that you have got, you may be told to go home by your employer because perhaps you work with vulnerable people, older people, people with diabetes or heart problems, in which case, generally speaking, if your employer sends you home, you should be paid as normal. The third option could be that you were told you should be quarantined, and quarantine from what i can gather and what we have been told was not treated as sickness and you might not qualify for ssp. I havent heard the comments yet so you are giving the comments yet so you are giving the news. It is changing all the time. You are the flag bearer for hand washing etc, lets also talk about other measures, they are talking about perhaps changes to schools, i know there are staff shortages, presumably if you get more than 30 children in a classroom size it becomes problematic . But if teachers are off sick, you have to do something with the kids. On the whole social distancing thing, it was interesting to hear matt hancock say there was no strong evidence that you can pass on gems with handshakes. I would dispute that. Pass on germs. A study in the usa in 2008 said on average we all carry 150 different species of bacteria on our hands, that isjust bacteria, let alone viruses. If we get a major outbreak, france and germany have doubled the number of cases we have, it looks like it is coming here, if it looks like it is coming here, if it comes to numbers we might want to think about not shaking hands. The french have advised people not to kiss on the cheek, be careful who you case. I am normally careful i think it is advice we should all live by. Perhaps social distance is useful. Sarah says how long is the virus likely to go on for . Will it affect holidays abroad injuly and august . It is already impacting on holidays. Yes, i think a lot of people are deciding not to travel not really based on medical or government advice butjust because they are anxious. Quite a few flights have been cancelled because they are not being taken up. flights have been cancelled because they are not being taken up. I have collea g u es they are not being taken up. I have colleagues talking about cancelling meetings were due to have, i say that we should carry with the current plan but we can revise as we get closer to the date. As the summer progresses, usually for respiratory viruses the incidence drops as we get into spring and summer. The hope in this country is we can keep this contained, even if the numbers grow, that they do not grow so enormously, and as we get to spring and summer there will be a natural drop off, but the likelihood is that even if the virus dies off a little bit during the summer, it will be around and we might have a second wave later. Fergus, i am sure many people have asked you this, many people have asked you this, many people have asked you this, many people are genuinely worried about work, family, what will happen in the coming weeks and there are some thinking this is no different to normal flu, some thinking this is no different to normalflu, more people die from flu than will die from coronavirus, what makes this different . Nobody on the planet, unless you have already courted, has immunity to the coronavirus. It has only been around for a couple of months are all these death rates of 1 , they are really guesstimates and potentially they have a margin of error of four, so it could be done to 0. 25 or less, which would put it on a pub with some pandemic flus we have had in the 505 and 605, but it could be higher than that. Would put it on a par with. Iwould higher than that. Would put it on a par with. I would guide you against much higher than 1 , because there is a tendency as viruses spread universally, for them to lose a bit of their potency, so hopefully we are not in for the scenes we saw in wuhan. But it is serious, it has serious potential, but so does seasonal flu, that is the number one viral threat in the uk at the moment and on average their estimates are that in the last five years seasonal flu has caused about 17,000 deaths in england alone, and globally seasonal flu kills half a Million People roughly each year. That really puts things into perspective. One last question, michelle. Its indias feeling ill and it could just be a normal cold or whatever, if they are meant to be going into work, should they call in . What should they be doing . Grin whatever you would normally do if you are ill. I wake up, you would normally do if you are ill. Iwake up, i had you would normally do if you are ill. I wake up, i had terrible back pain and cant go into work, i would do as normal and phone into work and say i do not feel very well. Under those circumstances it is a period of sickness. Dont soldier on, that is the advice. If you have a respiratory illness, protect yourself and others. And the 111 phone line as being a little bit overwhelmed, the first thing people should do is look online and search for nhs111 coronavirus, there is a very clear plan telling you exactly at which stage you should phone the numberand at which stage you should phone the number and whether you need to or not. Excellent, thank you all very much indeed. And you can find out more about the symptoms of coronavirus and how to protect yourself against it on our website bbc. Co. Uk news and on the bbc news app. Now the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning. Today will see very similar conditions to yesterday for most of us. Dry for most of the day but the odd passing sharon moving through. No showers this morning starting off in Western Areas and drifting eastward, rather keen breeze. We have a front moving east as well which will focus the showers for a time as well which will focus the showers fora time and as well which will focus the showers for a time and then well into the atlantic, because this area of low pressure will then later tonight and into tomorrow. For the rest of today we will see the showers moving east, asi we will see the showers moving east, as i suggested. Some shine ahead and behind that, quite breezy, that when from the north west. Chile in the wind but in a sand trap sun trap away from that it will feel quite pleasant. About 8 10dc. Through tonight those showers clearly and lots of clear skies so temperatures dropping away from most parts except for the south west where we will see the clouds generally interesting. Temperatures here, three orfour celsius but elsewhere a touch of frost to take us into wednesday. A bright start, lots of sunshine for most areas but then we will see this cloud and rain moving in, pushing north and east and moving to Northern Ireland, perhaps southern scotla nd Northern Ireland, perhaps southern scotland as well. Some uncertainty as to how far north this area of rain will be but rain spreading general eastward across england and wales. All linked into this weather front here spreading generally eastward. There will be hail and snow associated with that as well particularly over the southern pennines. Thursday morning, it will tend to clean away. Quite a bit of cloud hanging back but there will be some sunshine especially for scotla nd some sunshine especially for scotland and Northern Ireland and eventually northern and Western Areas of england and wales. Still perhaps the chance of the odd shower in lincolnshire and east anglia late in the day and temperatures on thursday will be about 7 9dc. That is all for me. Bye bye. This is worklife from bbc news, with Sally Bundock and david eades.
