The Foreign Office made the announcement as the death toll in china rose positive. Thats right, and the to nearly 1900, including the head of a hospital in the city of wuhan. Couple have been keeping us the bbcs nick beake is in hong kong. Nick, whats the latest . Up to date over the past few days. A pretty bleak ordeal and as you say, another confirmation that they have got this coronavirus. It was david who told us he felt forgotten, the fa ct who told us he felt forgotten, the fact the British Government hadnt yet got a flight together to take we know that the japanese authorities are based big criticism people back to the uk, off the ship for keeping everyone on board, and fly them back home. In contrast bearing in mind more than a50 people with the americans yesterday were have tested positive for this new taken off the ship and have now coronavirus. Yesterday we saw some of the americans leave, south korea arrived back in the united states. We know that other countries are says its sending its president ial doing the same. We heard from the jet to bring home its citizens and Foreign Office in london overnight in contrast, we been hearing from saying they had been in touch with some of the british people on board people onboard the ship, they hadnt saying they feel like theyve been given an exact time frame that they forgotten. But the Foreign Office in say they are urgently trying to get a Statement Today is saying it is a flight together so that people working to bring people home as soon will be taken home. Of course its
as possible. We havent got any unclear what will happen, if they detail beyond the Foreign Office is will have to spend another fortnight or so will have to spend another fortnight saying its in contact with all the orso in quarantine, will have to spend another fortnight or so in quarantine, in the centre will be able to go home but british people on board so some good news for them. In contrast, certainly for mr abel and his wife, its the worst possible news they information from the chinese have got, the fact they have both authorities have said the medical director of one of the big hospitals got coronavirus. We are sort of at the heart of this outbreak has following what david is saying on facebook literally while we are on himself died from the coronavirus us. His initial Facebook Post was and this shows once again the threat to the people in the epicentre there saying that there is going to be a trying to deal with this out break, time of quiet, we have been proved positive, leaving for hospital soon the threat to the doctors and nurses but there has been a subsequent trying to look after other people. We know 1700 doctors and nurses have Facebook Post and he is obviously 110w we know 1700 doctors and nurses have now been in fact did. If there is concerned about where they are going now. Hes worried they may be going some positive news today coming from china, the number of new debts in toa now. Hes worried they may be going to a hostel. They will now have the number of new cases looks to be genuine concerns about their own falling once again. As the top officials from the World Health Organization say, is still too early health.

Do follow it, it can have devastating consequences. When did it become the advice of the emergency like that . It has always been like services. You can that, going back to the days of the advice of the Emergency Services. You can see the advice of the Emergency Services. You can see the speckled internet forums but it has become
cloud, and if the thinker cloud. We ramped up by the fact that there is will see some organised range such a volume and it is beyond human through the course of the day. Some sleet and snow in the north. The risk of ice first thing. Look at this line, this is a really organised line of showers. Some will be heavy, some will have some hail and thunder. Gusty winds around them as well. Temperatures up to 11. In ramped up by the fact that there is such a voli can and it is beyond human the south, five seven as we push ramped up by the fact that there is such a voli can tryi it is beyond human ramped up by the fact that there is such a voli can try and; beyond human ramped up by the fact that there is such a voli can try and help and human ramped up by the fact that there is such a voli can try and help and cope n somebody can try and help and cope with it. Some people will take on through to the north. A blustery day the trials, what is your opinion on generally. Through this evening, a that . Trolls you are never going temporary ridge of High Pressure killing off many of the showers but it will be a cold night, still cold enough for some wintry weather. The to win that battle. Most mps that . Trolls you are never going cloud building by the end of the to win that battle. Most mstust handle it now through their offices. Note from the south west and you can see the arrival of some rain as our but that is a shame really because next system approaches. This is what it should be a tool that we can use
to communicate directly with people is coming away from the course of but if you have to be conscious of tomorrow, the ridge of high the time of filtering and blocking pressure, one front goes through, then that destroys that wild and follows, the cold front conversation. And also before you comes through and we seek older have filtered or blocked, you have conditions. Even some sunshine first to have read the message which may have been hurtful. Exactly by the thing tomorrow but the cloud will build and if the rain will come in from the west. The met office has a time youre at the stage thinking i yellow weather warning for this rain may set up filters, you already across both north and south wales, not just across both north and south wales, notjust during wednesday afternoon would have been damaged to some extent. There is something circular but wednesday night and much of thursday as well. That is likely to about what happens on twitter. From what i see of it, and some of these sequences that take place, someone exacerbate the situation. As we move posts something really horrible about someone else, other people from wednesday into thursday, there piling to tell them to shut up and is the warm front and he comes the that in itself feels more anger cold front, bringing in further because they are angrily commenting spells of rain with colder conditions following on. We start on somebody elses comment. They may with dry weather in the south east but that cold front rings more rain, be trying to do the right thing but it ramps up. And it is fuelling the
pushing towards the south east, through the course of the day. Algorithm. The algorithm sees this squally, it will fill like sudden is an interesting post lots of people are talking about so then it gusts. Behind it brighter skies, is being shown to lots of people who otherwise might not see that post. Some sunshine but some showers. An if you have a conversation that only it will be wintry. We will keep two people have contributed to, people up to date with the twitter or facebook will think it is situation. Thank you, carol. Not interesting and will not show it so much.

They have been speaking to us plenty more on our website at the usual address. Regularly on bbc breakfast during now though its back to charlie and louise. 00 59 48,085 4294966103 13 29,430 bye for now. Their time regularly on bbc breakfast during theirtime in regularly on bbc breakfast during their time in quarantine. The government says it are working to organise a flight home for british tourists who are on board the ship. Our correspondent nick beake is in hong kong for us now,
good morning. Dave and sally have beenin good morning. Dave and sally have been in regular contact with the media, speaking to us on this programme as well as others. This is the news they did not want . Absolutely, they have been keeping us up to date about what it is like to be on this ship. For almost two weeks, people had been confined to their cabins, it has been a pretty grim picture on board. With every day, more people had tested positive. The latest statistic from the japanese authorities was that more than a50 people on board have tested positive for the coronavirus, and now the abels are saying they have contracted the virus. They say they wanted the British Government to help them get off the boat, they said it is not sensible that people should be kept on board when you know there is a virus that. It was announced they had the coronavirus at the same time that the british
government made the announcement that, finally, some might say, it was getting a plane together. Probably not today that in the next a8 or 72 hours, british citizens will be taken off the ship and flown back to the uk. Yesterday the abels had to watch how more than 300 american citizens were taken off the ship and flown back to the united states, they have arrived back, but their experience was in contrast to their experience was in contrast to the brits on board. Looking at what dave abel has written on facebook, they are clearly very worried by their situation right now. Do we know what the procedure is next . They initially said they were leaving for hospital scene, then he posted again suggesting he was not sure if they were going to a hospital or hospital. Is there an established procedure for people leaving who have been tested positive . Charlie, i dont think so. Four british people are being treated in japan, four british people are being treated injapan, having contracted the coronavirus. Looking at what happened with the americans yesterday, that is probable our best bet, more than 300 people flew back, but on the two flights there were 1a people who had contracted the virus, so even though they had tested positive, they were still able to travel back. That if you look at the pictures, they were in a special quarantine section of the plane, so we need to look for either updates from mr abel, or potentially his son, who i know you will be talking to, but it is not clear what happens next. Yes, we will be speaking to their son in next. Yes, we will be speaking to theirson ina next. Yes, we will be speaking to their son in a few minutes. A really worrying time for the family. More flooding has hit towns across the uk as the impact of storm dennis continues to cause widespread damage. More than 200 Flood Warnings are in place across england, wales and scotland, including nine severe or danger to life warnings. Among the worst affected areas are south wales, herefordshire, worcestershire and shropshire,
where Major Incidents were declared. John maguire is in Upton Upon Severn in worcestershire for us this morning, where a severe Flood Warning remains in place. He has been showing us the level that this has got to, it has been quite something, hasnt it . L that this has got to, it has been quite something, hasnt it . A real sight to behold. The one thing we have not shown you is this view of the maine road bridge out of Upton Upon Severn, closed for a certain time yesterday. You can probably figure out what should be the normal route of the river, between the two sets of trees,. Look at these fields in the distance, you may be able to notice the way the water is running off the field back into the river, because the river level has dropped overnight. If you we re level has dropped overnight. If you were with us earlier you would have heard from the publican ralph thompson, he is from one of the pubs in town, he said he had a restless
night worrying all night that the river with over the flood defences which were built in 2012 over the huge flooding this area experienced in 2007. They did not, the levels have dropped, i think we have even seen the level to drop this morning. But if we look at it further over inland, see where that garage is over there . Again, that is another main road leading out of Upton Upon Severn. That is closed and you can see water getting into the buildings and around the fuel tanks, that will cause concerns. There are other garages and buildings behind which are flooded, residents will have been doing their best with sandbags. Police said to us earlier that this has been a Major Incident as we have been reporting, they are still encouraging people in flood risk zones encouraging people in flood risk zones to be sensible and if necessary to leave their properties because the message from here, we
are not quite out of the woods yet. Joe maguire, thank you very much. John maguire. Hsbc will cut around 35,000 jobs over the next three years. The chief executive of the bank confirmed it was planning to scale back its Global Workforce by 15 as part of a major restructuring plan. There is no confirmation if anyjobs will be lost in the uk but the worldwide total is higher than analysts had been expecting. Downing street has said its adviser Andrew Sabisky has resigned, following criticism of alleged past remarks on pregnancies and race. Labour had called for mr sabisky to go for reportedly saying black people had lower average iqs than white people. Our Political CorrespondentJessica Parker is in westminster this morning. Jessica, the story emerged very quickly and a resignation too has happened very quickly. Take us
through edge . Andrew sabisky is a self described super forecaster, somebody who can supposedly predict future trends. He was hired by downing street after the prime ministers senior aide Dominic Cummings put out a call for misfits and weirdos to join the government operation, he wanted to shake up whitehall. But then past comments made online and elsewhere by Andrew Sabisky reportedly emerged regulator emerged online. They suggested compulsory contraception could be used to stop a permanent underclass, women sport is more comparable to the paralympics than mens sport and that black americans have a lower average iq than white americans. The prime ministers spokesman was pressed on this matter yesterday, they refuse to explicitly condemn the remarks, which attracted criticism, including from conservative mps. Last night andrew
sabisky tweeted his resignation. He said. The media hysteria about my old stuff online is mad but i wanted to help hmg, not be a distraction. Accordingly ive decided to resign as a contractor. I signed up to do real work, not be in the middle of a giant character assassination. What does this mean . Today questions will be increasingly asked as to why Andrew Sabisky was hired, i think. Was there any kind of vetting process . Was there any kind of vetting process . And since the general election, perhaps some have seen this number ten operation is all powerful, they can hire and fire who they like. But even though Andrew Sabisky says he resigned, i think what happened overnight shows that downing street is not immune to criticism or political pressure. Thank you, jessica. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning, still main severe

While weve been on air this morning, a british couple on board a cruise ship injapan have said on facebook that theyve tested positive for coronavirus. David and sally abel set off on their trip on the 18th january, on a golden wedding treat for themselves. We first spoke to them nearly two weeks ago when coronavirus was first found on board the ship, and have been following them since. Lets hear what theyve had to say. The last 2a hours has changed quite considerably. Having enjoyed a wonderful cruise, when we arrived in okinawa four or five days ago, we had to go through a quarantine procedure, and since then it has been really downhill with regards to what has been happening to passengers on the ship. If one of us is positive, the other negative, we will be separated. Not looking forward to that actual. We will meet it head on, we will deal with it but it head on, we will deal with it but it is not something we are looking forward to. I am really trying to put a brave face on. It is not easy. Deep inside, we are very frightened. We really are frightened. We dont wa nt to we really are frightened. We dont want to be split up. If one of us is proof positive. After 50 years being together, it is just unbearable the thought of being split up, so we are

Our worst fears were one of them being positive and the other being negative and separated, but they are both positive so at least they are going together. But since i had spoken to them, i am seeing things coming through as i have been out of the back where they are going to a hostel, there is some sort of speculation, are they being repatriated behind the scenes somehow . They have both been told they are positive, so no one knows what is going on, really. No one knows, this has changed while we have been on air, so it will
probably be quite a confusing time until you understand the kind of process. We have been talking to him, as you have, overtime, about getting out and coming home, but this is not what you were expecting . Not actual. I travelled up last night to come and see you guys to talk about. We were so positive that they would be negative. com pletely that they would be negative. completely understand. We were adamant they would be negative and we wa nted a nswe rs adamant they would be negative and we wanted answers from the Foreign Office to find out when they were coming home, but now everything has changed, we are waking up to the fa ct changed, we are waking up to the fact they are positive. We try to contact the Foreign Office after finding out that your parents are positive, they reiterated a statement made before, they said that given the conditions on board, we are working to organise a flight back to the uk for british nationals on the diamond princess as soon as
possible, our staff contacted british nationals on board to make the necessary arrangements, we urge all those who have not yet responded to get in touch immediately. Dave, your parents to get in touch immediately. Dave, your pa rents circumstances to get in touch immediately. Dave, your parents circumstances have changed, your dad has said they will be taken off the ship, to wear, we are not quite sure. We know that american citizens who had tested positive were put on flights to go back to america. That clearly is a possibility, if that is laid on . Yes, but it is a speculation. They had not been told that at this stage, or maybe they have, since they have been on here. I am trying to keep my ears as low to the ground as possible. Can you tell its about your dads health . They seem like such lovely people but we have also noticed, you know this better than us, they have been getting more
concerned, you must have concerns about your mum and dads health and how they are . They are very high spirited people, they have been running a live broadcast on youtube three times a day, people have been sending wonderful comments, keeping their spirits up. But its great, i wa nt to their spirits up. But its great, i want to thank everybody across the world who has beenjoining in and keeping their spirits up, but has definitely got them to whether they are today with the spirits. But in the last two days i had seen the cracks in the armour, they are coming down, my mum breaks into tea rs coming down, my mum breaks into tears frequently when we call her, my dad is short tempered. This is all because of the situation they are in, they are not getting any communication from our country, which is terrible, they are in the dark and feeling very unloved, as i think we saw on the broadcaster couple of days ago. Sorry, your question . Clearly there will be
concerns about their health . Are there Underlying Health conditions . My there Underlying Health conditions . My dad is type two diabetic, insulin dependent. Obviously they have been on a 1a day luxury cruise, but since the quarantine, which started literally on the last of the cruise, they have now done 1a days of being on the luxury cruise ship that being on pretty standard food, and a lot of that is not suitable for him. Earlier on he was saying that the food was ok, then i have heard he has been eating only cornfla kes for heard he has been eating only cornflakes for the last four or five days, which is not great. He is on the lactose free milk, he is not on the lactose free milk, he is not on the ideal food service the lactose free milk, he is not on the idealfood service insulin he is injecting is not the same usually injects. I do not understand so much about the ins and outs of being a diabetic, but he also has a tooth infection, i get hundreds of e mails from doctors and nurses all over the
world single dads tooth infection, with his diabetes, is more serious than the virus itself. Saying your dads tooth infection. Is that being treated . He has antibiotics, his course from the uk has finished, they have given it more but we are concerned they are not the right ones. We have spoken to them over this whole period, thank you to them and you for allowing us to do that, they have been incredibly informative. We know they have now tested positive, do they feel ill . have not spoken to or seen my dad on facetime today, but i can hear him, whether he will mind me saying this, i could hear him heaving in the bathroom. He is being said, not from the virus, i think it is shock. He is being sick. My mum comes up from down here and she starts taking care, which is really good. That is
what has come through, they had a very strong relationship . Yes. From you and the family puts my point of view, and i appreciate this is all new for you, what you want to happen . And the familys point of view. To somehow be able to teleport them from japan to england so they do not have the ordeal of that flight. I do not have the ordeal of that flight. I would like them to carry out their quarantine, the quarantine injapan has out their quarantine, the quarantine in japan has been out their quarantine, the quarantine injapan has been the failure, that is obvious. They will have to go through it again, but here in the uk where the food will be suitable for my dad. Ian not worried about the virus, which might seem a bit ignorant, i am just looking at the recovery starts, it is quite successful. It is more about the stress, the diet. To be absolutely clear, what is it you want the government to do . We want them to bring them home. Yes. Yesterday we
heard it was a considered flight being put on for people who test negative, now iron hearing, i dont know if it is true, that a flight is on its way out. What is your assessment of the government treatment of them . My assessment of the government treatment . Appalling. They havent anything. They probably are behind the scenes, which is great if they are, but nobody is communicating with us. They have my number, my wifes number, my brothers number, my sisters number, we have called them every day for four number, we have called them every day forfour or number, we have called them every day for four or five days. They have not called dubai . No. Called you back . Did your mother say, get us home . I think my mum is very protective of me, my brother and
sister say to me, mums in a really bad way, with me she prepares her emotions and says i do not want you to worry. What have they said to your older brother and sister . Not about today, just on calls in the last 2a, a8 hours when mum has been when my mum has been crying and coming out with not nice stuff, i dont know what the words are, but more upsetting than what i am seeing. We really appreciate you both for coming in. It is very uncertain for you, which is difficult. Thank you for staying in touch, and please pass on our regards when you speak to them .
