pretty limited. media there were some what they are hoping in the future flights being cancelled, in glasgow, etc. but, as they can extend the runway here unfortunately, we did feel the taxiing was taking a little bit and getting bigger aircraft and then easyj et ca n and getting bigger aircraft and then longer than normal and a few of us easyjet can up its operation but realised it was indeed heading thatis easyjet can up its operation but that is many, many months away on back to the gate again. the local council has not even agreed to allow the airport runway so, unfortunately, that is where we heard. extension to take place, and if it flybe‘s collapse does, it could be another six months will be keenly felt. before that runway is extended so in it was the biggest operator at many

european destinations. airport, 200 of which are flybe, but just weeks ago, it looked as though all of those others who rely on flybe had been saved. flybe because of the numbers of lights run by them here, so the its owners, virgin atlantic, stobart group and cyrus capital, whole future of the airport at the agreed to pump money into the business and had been moment is run up into the air unless

workers king's college hospital in london. at regional airports, face a deeply uncertain future. they were being treated for a different condition it looks as though passengers, when they tested positive meanwhile, will have to fend for themselves for the virus. and try to recover their costs the hospital says strict cross from debit and credit card providers contamination measures have been put in place and the two patients have now been transferred to a specialist unit elsewhere. or their travel insurance policies. ben's at birmingham airport this morning. and with much debate over what extra we'll hearfrom him resources the nhs might need injust a moment. first let's speak to handle a nationwide outbreak, to katy austin who's in exeter, the national audit office is warning today of a shortage of nurses. where the company is based. what is the story from there? good meanwhile in italy, where there have been more than 2,700 cases and over 100 deaths, morning, the story is partly tell by looking at a screen here, the all schools and universities departure board. this is page two of across the country will be closed from today. two and the second page of the government says they won't be reopened until mid—march cancellations. there is a list of in an effort to contain the virus. destinations from paris, manchester, back in the uk, where the outbreak edinburgh and dublin, which gives is much less extensive, you a picture of route served by such drastic measures are not yet being considered but doctors regional airport like exeter and how are warning here too the number of cases will almost certainly rise. reliant it is on flights by flybe. jon donnison, bbc news. passengers have been told not to turn up if they were booked on flights. if they had, they would see 0ur correspondent empty check—in desks. we spoke to a couple who did not hear the news and bethany bell is in milan. we re couple who did not hear the news and were devastated that holidays, and behind you, we see a school with special trips they planned, could the doors firmly shut. a couple of not go ahead. it is devastating for staff. the headquarters is up the people going in, and i guess there is some admin to be done, but the road. while check—in staff are part complications now in terms of pa rents, complications now in terms of parents, and what you do with the of flybe, many other staff such as children, how does that work? there those who maintain planes are here and face this prospect of are many questions. many questions indeed. we have seen, as you say, a uncertainty about the jobs. they couple of administrative staff going said they had no alternative and the in and out of the school in milan today and it should be said that head of the company said they were schools and universities in parts of sorry the airline could not find the funding needed to carry on. the north of the country which have been badly affected by this outbreak have been shut for a while now, meanwhile the government has said it will try to help former employees almost two weeks, but last night the government took the decision to find jobs and hopefully some tickets should be valid on other services extend that to schools and such as trains. universities across the country and ben's at birmingham pa rents universities across the country and parents will be waking up this airport this morning. ben, what does this mean morning thinking, what do we do in terms of childcare? can we go to for regional airports across the uk? work? the government has said it will look into possible measures to this absolutely is a story about help parents when it comes to that but it's not clear as to whether regional connectivity. this is what they are handing out to passengers they would give them some sort of financial aid to get childcare or at birmingham airport, details about whether they will make it easier for how they might be able to claim a people to stay at home and work from refund. you heard about having to home where they'll look after their claim on things such as debit and children and of course this will be credit cards because many travel insurance policies will not cover another big challenge for italy's economy, for businesses if people it. many of these flights are not are staying away from work for childcare reasons and people here atol protected. at the airport they say they are in talks with other are very, childcare reasons and people here are very, very worried about how airlines to take on some routes long this is going to go on for. because remember, as far as flybe is bethany, thank you very much. concerned, it is about connecting the uk. half of all the airlines that come out of places like this, california has declared

failing business but areas of dense fog if you are travelling which will lift in the clearly for passengers here this northern half of the country will see the brightest conditions and the morning, and for airports across the driest conditions with the fewest showers but we do have rain in the country, this is a story about south and you can see that nicely on regional connectivity and a question the radar picture. it's been coming about whether trains and roads can in from the south—west and is pushing towards the east and will be ta ke about whether trains and roads can take some of the burden that flybe might have carried in the past. with us for much of the day, thank you. clearing western areas later on and and if you've got a flybe ticket it will brighten up across england

say goodbye to the now been transferred band of rain and it will be cold to a specialist unit elsewhere. with a few showers around and then the next weather front comes in from and with much debate over what extra the next weather front comes in from the west introducing showery outbreaks of rain. and it will be a resources the nhs might need to handle a nationwide outbreak, cold night with frost around and the the national audit office is warning today of a shortage of nurses. risk of ice on untreated surfaces meanwhile in italy, where there have and somewhere in north—east scotland

important thing is much less extensive, that an individual can do" to protect against the coronavirus. that's according to the health such drastic measures are not yet secretary matt hancock. being considered, but doctors a major public health campaign are warning here too the number has been launched to try of cases will almost certainly rise. and stop the spread — jon donnison, bbc news. but how do we do that in our day to day life? breakfast‘s john maguire has california has declared been out with a doctor a state of emergency to find out. after announcing its first death related to coronavirus, bringing the number of deaths in the us to 11. barbara, hello, what do we do? the victim was a 71—year—old man do we shake hands? who had underlying health conditions instinctive, isn't it? and had been on a cruise ship. or should we do that? what do we do? as the virus continues to spread, i like to shake hands. authorities have confirmed more than 92,000 cases worldwide. 0k, we're 0k to shake hands. the duke of cambridge has called great. the public health information on the uk and ireland to work and advice at the moment is that shaking hands is fine. to maintain the bonds of friendship but that may change, because things are changing all the time. after brexit, saying the royal every day, there is new advice. family would play its part. speaking in dublin, if the infection becomes widespread, prince william said the progress we may be advised to limit the two countries had made together our social interaction. but even if we we have been told should never be taken for granted. to limit our social interaction this report from our royal and we accidentally shake hands, correspondentjonny dymond there is no need to panic, contains flashing images. because we are touching surfaces all the time and, at dublin's museum of literature, as long as we are following the hygiene recommendations, the duke came to offer then there is no need to worry. reassurance about the future for britain and ireland. fancy a coffee? i would love a coffee. he gave thanks to the peacemakers thank you very much. good, why not? of the past, and said whatever happened with brexit, the two countries would work together. so, barbara, what do we need to think about in a coffee shop, i am confident that friendship, cafe, in a restaurant? understanding and a shared vision for a peaceful and prosperous future will ensure that the unique if you think about the process and precious bond between our of walking into the cafeteria, touching the door handle, people is not broken. sitting down, touching the surface here. my family is determined you have just handled this money. to continue playing our part in protecting, preserving that money will have passed and strengthening that bond. through dozens of hands before you touch it. i think the safest thing earlier, the couple had been to do is to assume that at a research centre, everything is contaminated. talking sustainable agriculture. don't touch your mouth, don't touch your nose and your eyes, because the mucous membranes are where the virus gets access to. and there was a chance to admire it gets into the upper respiratory system and invades the system ireland's stunning scenery, and that's how it works. with britain just 50 miles away, and if you haven't got access to a sink for hot, a reminder ofjust how close we are. soapy water for 20 seconds, this has been a pretty low—key trip. then use your sterilising gel, which i have in my bag. there may be a chance for the couple to get out here is one you prepared earlier. and about a bit later today. but last night, william's and then when you use sterilising message was clear. gel, the same scenario, really. bitterness is for the past, it has to be at least 60% alcohol. in the future, let's be friends. jonny dymond, bbc news, dublin. spray your hands. and rub them thoroughly. and always have this with you. and if you are uncertain, jane is here with the sport. not so just use it. so, interestingly, we are not getting into a scenario where, friendly last night. if we go into anywhere, we are cleaning the surfaces, it was a shock exit for tottenham to cleaning money. bottom of the league norwich but it it's impossible. you are just keeping yourself clean? was after the full—time whistle and yes. there we go. after the that there was an altercation the crowd. tottenham midfielder eric dier had after you, barbara. to be restrained by security thank you. after confronting a fan who had there's a seat. allegedly insulted him and his family. well, lots of surfaces on the bus. dierjumped into the crowd you are obviously in close and angrily challenged the tottenham proximity to people, fan after his team was knocked out especially at rush—hour. what are your thoughts? of the fa cup. well, you have to sit near to other people. managerjose mourinho said that i can't hear anybody coughing. professionals shouldn't do that but that he understood if they were, i might dier‘s frustrations. want to move seats. the confrontation came we do have to be aware that public after tottenham's surprise exit transport, there may be a risk of catching an infection. from the fa cup on penalties to bottom of the league norwich. so there is nothing i can do about this now. keeper tim krul was the hero for i've touched the surfaces. norwich as they won on penalties. i'm just being aware, again, of my hands, and don't go near my face. england's women are out of the t20 world cup. and when i get off... their semi—final against india has because if i wash my hands now, been called off in the last hour, or use the sterilising agent, without a ball being bowled, i am still going to be touching after heavy rain in sydney. india go through because of their things when i get off. so there is very little point better record in the group stage. in me doing anything until i get off the transport. england's final six nations men's thanks, driver. and women's matches in rome thank you. against italy will be played behind closed doors because of the coronavirus outbreak. the italian government made the announcement last night. the games could still be postponed. the workplace — what sort of thing should we be about here? all serie a football matches will also be played without fans well, if you look around here, present until april the 3rd. i'm pleased to see there is some hand sanitiser here and some wipes for the keyboards, especially a great deal of disruption to sport when people are hot desking and using different keyboards and telephones. because of the coronavirus. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. and we are all getting the phone to our mouths and coughing — without realising it we are spraying good morning, everyone. if you are respiratory droplets onto the phone. in the northern half of the country so just be aware that when you come it isa in the northern half of the country it is a cold start with frost and to use the equipment in a work also some fog. quite dense, across environment that you should clean it before you use it and afterwards. north—east england but it will be dry for many bar showers. in the we should also be aware of mobile phones. south, still cold today but we do apparently, there are more have some rain. it is courtesy of germs on a mobile phone than they are on a toilet seat, these fronts connected to low so at least twice a day, with an alcohol wipe, pressure moving across southern keep your phone clean, because you are putting counties and affecting france. not it to yourface. much in the way of isobars across so, barbara, what the uk. as we go through the morning is your key message? just take responsibility for your we can see how the rain moves out of own space and your own health. and also be aware of other people. the south—west and continues to the south—east and will be heavy at be

hewings from the campaign could fall to —5. again the risk of to end loneliness and professor pam ice on untreated services and also vallely who is a virologist. some frost. any fog will live good morning to you. it looks like you are in high demand at the tomorrow. slowly moving from the moment. people with lots of questions. just on the film we saw a west towards the east. after a moment ago, the advice about washing fairly quiet start with sunshine, hands, that is getting through and the cloud will come in from the west people understand the principle. can you give us a sense of how long it with showers and push east. the is understood that the coronavirus further east you are, the likelihood is you will stay dry but we cannot stays on things. that depends on com pletely is you will stay dry but we cannot what the thing is, first of all. so completely rule out a shower. temperatures 7—10. as for the a hard surface, hard metal surface it will stay on less time than weekend, we have a deep area of low something soft and it will survive pressure. it is not a named storm. it has weather fronts bringing rain. outside cell for a couple of hours. a look at the isobars tells you it we've all been told to use open will be windy. if we look at saturday. the further east you are, waters to wash our hands. keyboards and desktops how do we clean them it will be a brighter start.

sunshine and showers bea doing all the time anyway, butjust be a bit more aware about it. let's in the north will be wintry on the pick up on some of the stories in hills. it will be a breezy day. the headlines today, and flybe, which amongst other things and no temperatures, 7—11. the weather is one is suggesting it is coronavirus still topsy—turvy. one is suggesting it is coronavirus on its own and most people will be asking prompt questions and you got tickets and there is the situation we are in. what guidelines can you it's it has been topsy—turvy for so long! give people? the most important let's take a look at today's papers. thing is don't panic. if you have the daily telegraph reports that travel plans and flights booked, three of the latest coronavirus what you want to be doing is cases were already nhs patients, sparking fears that the virus maintaining those plans for the time could be spreading in hospitals. being. if you take matters into your there's also a photo of daniel craig after the news that the release own hands and try and cancel the of the newjames bond film has been plans you could be left considerably delayed because of the outbreak. out of pocket and travel insurance james bond is also on the front of the metro — its bond themed headline will not cover you if you decide not is "dr says no". to travel and you want to look at the guardian has a picture of michael bloomberg what the commonwealth office are advising and if they say all but who is dropping out of the us presidential race after spending essential travel is banned, then millions on his own campaign. your holiday and flight should then and one of the most read stories be cancelled and you are legally entitled to have your money back. so on the bbc news website is our lead story too, keep an eye on that advice as they updated iran 2pm every day. but at the collapse of the airline flybe. the moment your travel plans should go ahead fairly problem free and that was confirmed just a couple of certainly the situation is clearly hours ago, at about 3:30am. that is going to keep developing and keep your eyes on the official advice. our main story. more information on robin, you are from the campaign to end loneliness and the most vulnerable people in this situation are the elderly. if an elderly that through the day. the news only person has to self—isolate this must came in at about 3am. we have been be incredibly difficult for them. hearing a lot about the coronavirus what advice can you give?” and the impact it's had on sport, just in the bulletin earlier, how be incredibly difficult for them. what advice can you give? i think that's right and in the government the england match against italy in advice it says people need to get the england match against italy in the six nations will be behind support from friends, neighbours or relations and the people are the closed doors. the premier league has written to all 20 clubs warning they most isolated, that will be a real might have to play behind closed challenge. all of us need to think about people around us who might doors because of the coronavirus, need to be self isolating and that might be neighbours who we don't lots of talk of liverpool winning really know that well but we are not the title in an empty stadium, which would be tragic for liverpool fans. necessarily sure that they have got they are not saying stop the leak that social support and again, think about our friends and neighbours as com pletely they are not saying stop the leak completely which is something. well. one of the first things you hopefully, juergen klopp will be need to know is that somebody near hoping that is not the case! this where you live is self isolating and has been going on for a while now. if they are on their own they need to communicate that somehow. and it's not a bad time to refresh some the leeds goalkeeper was punished by of those contacts and see how people the fa by using racist language, are doing. if people do need to self—isolate then they are not in there is an interview with the such a difficult position because victim in the times today, where he two we e ks such a difficult position because two weeks is a long time to go said he thought it went on too long, without really leaving the house. it 22 weeks between the incident happening in the hearing, and he also reminds us that a lot of people felt he wasn't contacted by the pfa live quite a bit like this all the who have since apologised and say they will come into contact with time and about half a million people him. and something lighter to finish. go on! a picture of wayne say they go five or six days a week without seeing anybody.” and coleen rooney, posing with lewis say they go five or six days a week without seeing anybody. ijust want to pick up on the thing about the capaldi after watching him at the vulnerable groups because the elderly, what is the picture that is manchester apollo, and they posted emerging so far about who is most at that picture to instagram saying, risk? it seems as though the elderly unbelievable concert. i'm assuming the derby county

definitely better than a full costume. something that needs a little bit of explaining. or you train, you might want a can't work out what it is, that's commuter and you are on a busy tube train, you might wanta bit of hand the other one i like. plenty more sanitiser in your pocket, ready to go. absolutely but use it sparingly coming up later on. and wash your hands when you get to washing your hands is the "single work and try not to put your mouth most important thing during your commute as well. we were that an individual can do" to protect against the coronavirus. that's according to the health secretary matt hancock. talking to the organisers of crufts, a major public health campaign has an event which is on, it's very soon been launched to try and stop the spread but how do we do that and it is on but people buying in our day to day life? tickets for events and they change breakfast‘s john maguire has been out with a doctor their mind and think, i don't want to find out. to be ina their mind and think, i don't want to be in a crowded place, what kind of rights do you have around that stuff? in times of trouble, the more dogs, the better. but if an event is cancelled and you have tickets for it you should be entitled to a barbara, hello, what do we do? do we shake hands? refund, so it depends how you bought the ticket. if you bought it instinctive, isn't it? directly from the event organiser or or should we do that? what do we do? from a primary seller,, you should i like to shake hands. be refunded straightaway if the event is cancelled. but the 0k, we're 0k to shake hands. important thing is if the event is great. the public health information and advice at the moment is that cancelled. if you change your mind about being in a crowd, you don't shaking hands is fine. but that may change, because things have those rights, do you? no, you are changing all the time. every day, there is new advice. don't. you can get ticket insurance if the infection becomes widespread, we may be advised to limit at the point of purchase and it does our social interaction. cover you if you cannot travel but even if we we have been told because you are ill, so you could to limit our social interaction and we accidentally shake hands, not travel and get your money back, there is no need to panic, but ultimately it doesn't cover you because we are touching surfaces all

message, fancy a coffee? i would love a coffee. thank you very much. good, why not? robin? as people think about what they are doing and looking after one another, what is your message to so, barbara, what do we need people? firstly we need to think to think about in a coffee shop, about the people around us and other ways in which we can help and cafe, in a restaurant? if you think about the process of walking into the cafeteria, improve our connections because by touching the door handle, having strong connections it is a sitting down, touching way we can get through this the surface

where, if we go into anywhere, we are cleaning the surfaces, fine, and! cleaning money. virus are going to be absolutely fine, and i think we still need to it's impossible. think about caring for our

the struggling british caused by defective trains have increased by a third in three years. airline flybe collapses — leaving passengers stranded around europe. just over 5,000 mechanical issues live from london, led to a delay last year, that's our top story on thursday 4th of march. up from under 4000 in 2016. conservatives on the london assembly, who obtained the figures, say the network is

outside windsor. the items discovered should give us new clues to how people once lived. before we started excavating at the quarry, we didn't know that this feature was here, so it's a completely unknown archaeological find. so for that reason, it was important and exciting because we were getting a chance to excavate under modern conditions. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes... the met line has minor delays. as we know flybe has now ceased trading so all flybe flights are cancelled at heathrow and london city airports this morning. 0n the roads... traffic is

some wet weather forecast for most of us today, particularly towards southern home counties. there's also a rather chilly easterly wind blowing too. temperatures in mid—single figures to start off the morning. there's quite a bit of mist around, a little bit of hill fog over the higher ground. you can see this area of rain towards the south here is gradually moving its way northwards as we head through the morning. some of the rain towards the south could turn out to be rather heavy. the further north and west you are, the drier it will tend to be though even here we are expecting some showers as we head through the afternoon. top temperatures today between five and eight degrees celsius, but there will be quite a bit of added wind—chill, and a cool easterly wind blowing. so plenty of cloud around, the showers will gradually fade away as we head through the evening and there will be some clear spells developing. in the clear spells, expect a little bit of frost into tomorrow morning. it's going to be quite a chilly start to friday, temperatures down to very close to freezing. watch out for a few icy stretches. but tomorrow is looking like a dry day, and a nicer day of weather, maybe one or two afternoon showers and we'll see some spells of sunshine. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now, though, it's back to charlie and sally. bye for now.

podcast. we'll speak to former undercover officer peter bleksley. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. british airline flybe has gone into administration after talks to secure a £100 million government loan failed. in the early hours of this morning, the company boss told staff that the coronavirus had put additional pressure on an already difficult situation. the airline is europe's largest regional operator and its collapse means 2,000 jobs are now at risk. we're all absolutely gutted, really. flybe — household name. people have been flying them for a0 years. and we really tried to do everything that we possibly could back at the turn of the year and, unfortunately, though, with the situation that has developed with corona, an already weak company, i'm afraid, just hasn't been able to survive. 0ur political correspondent chris mason joins us live from westminster now. coronavirus deemed the final nail in the coffin of this company. what is government saying about what happens next? flybe made the official announcement at 3:16am, and a couple of minutes later we heard from grant shapps, the transport secretary. there had been a hope at the turn of the year that flybe, which has struggled financially, would be ok, because the government was willing to intervene and there were talks going on with ministers about the importance of keeping these routes open, not least because there are so many regional airports where flybe is the overwhelmingly dominant carrier. such as belfast city airport and southampton, where the majority of flights were provided by them. the original plan was extra money would be pumped into the airline by owners in exchange for they're not having to pay not so much in air passenger duty. but crucially from the government perspective, it discovered this would not be possible while the uk is still subject to european union rules. they continue during the transition period until the end of this year. that coupled with the reality of the coronavirus and colla pse reality of the coronavirus and collapse in demand for these flights, would seem to have tipped flybe over the edge. this government made a lot about how important regions are and flybe was about regional connectivity. exactly, it is at the heart of the sound bite we hear from is at the heart of the sound bite we hearfrom government is at the heart of the sound bite we hear from government ministers is at the heart of the sound bite we hearfrom government ministers in every sentence they utter in public. this idea of so—called levelling up and at the heart of that, regional airlines connecting regions with relatively poor transport connections, where these flights from flybe were seen as a lifeline. we have seen it in the response from the likes of arlene foster, the first minister in northern ireland and also from the shadow transport secretary, making that argument. the government said it had staff at airports trying to help people and is trying to encourage other airlines to pick up some routes that flybe used to fly. it is encouraging rail operators to accept flybe tickets in the short—term if you cannot use it in the way you had anticipated. a really big challenge for the government. they will argue the agenda should not amount to propping up consistently failing companies. at the same time, if you are going to level up different regions of the uk, providers like flybe are likely to be central to that. thanks. the nhs in england doesn't have enough nurses, according to a new report — as officials warn that an epidemic of coronavirus is likely. the national audit office says there are 43,000 nursing vacancies. yesterday saw the biggest increase in the number of infected people in the uk, bringing the total number to 87. california has declared a state of emergency after announcing its first death related to coronavirus, bringing the number of deaths in the us to 11. the victim was a 71—year—old man who had underlying health conditions and had been on a cruise ship. as the virus continues to spread, authorities have confirmed more than 92,000 cases worldwide. i know the coronavirus is having an impact on different sporting events. i know you have an update on different things. it has had a big impact on sport and the premier league have written to their clubs to warn them potentially matches could be played behind closed doors but we are talking about the fa cup today because there were three matches last night. tottenham midfielder eric dier had to be restrained by security after confronting a fan who had allegedly insulted him and his family. dierjumped into the crowd and angrily challenged the tottenham fan after his team was knocked out of the fa cup. managerjose mourinho said that professionals shouldn't do that — but that he understood dier‘s frustrations. i think eric dier did something that we professionals, we cannot do. but, in these circumstances, i think every one of us would do, because when somebody insults you and your family is there and your family gets involved with the person that is insulting you, in this case a younger brother, i think eric did what we professionals, we cannot do. but i repeat, probably every one of us would do. the confrontation came as tottenham were knocked out of the fa cup last night by norwich. keeper tim krul was the hero for the canaries as they won on penalties. the premier league strugglers will now face either derby county or manchester united in the last eight, with that game being played this evening. manchester city got the better of championship side sheffield wednesday, winning1—0 at hillsborough. sergio aguero scored the goal. city will play newcastle united in the last eight. ricardo pereira's late goal sent leicester into the quarter—finals. they beat birmingham city 1—nil and will play chelsea in the next round. celtic have increased their lead at the top of the scottish premiership, despite being held to a 2—2 draw at livingston. it looked like celtic were heading for defeat, but were rescued by tom rogic in injury time. rangers lost at home to hamilton, so celtic are now 13 points clear in the league. west bromich albion midfielderjonathan leko has criticised the time it took the fa find the leeds united keeper kiko casilla guilty of racially abusing him. he was banned for eight matches last week for the incident in september, during a game at charlton where leko was on loan. he also says that he had minimal contact from the pfa and no contact and no support from anti—racism bodies. the pfa have apologised to the player, saying they'll review their procedures, and meet with leko today. england's women are out of the t20 world cup. their semifinal against india has been called off in the last hour, without a ball being bowled, after heavy rain in sydney. india go through because of their better record in the group stage. rain could also wash out the second semifinal between australia and south africa at the same venue. england's final six nations men's and women's matches against italy will be played behind closed doors in rome, because of the coronavirus outbreak. the italian government made the announcement last night but the games could still be postponed. all serie a football matches will also be played without fans present until april the 3rd. the ioc president thomas bach insists there's been no talk of the olympics being cancelled or postponed despite the growing impact of the virus. the tokyo games are due to start in latejuly, a number of test events have been postponed, but speaking to the media after an ioc committe meeting in lausanne yesterday, bach refused to engage in the possibilty of the games not starting on time. i will not add fuel to the flame of speculation by giving a date here, giving a date and fuelling more speculation. 0ur statement from yesterday is very clear. we are fully committed. several golf tournaments have already been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. the men's golf at the olympics is due to start onjuly the 30th. world number one rory mcilroy is trusting organisers to make the right call. if the organisers and the olympic committee believe it is safe enough that athletes can go and compete in the games, then you have to take their word for it. they are obviously liaising with the people that are the best at doing this, whether it is the cdc in this country, whether it is the world health organisation, whatever it is. if they are speaking to those people and those people are the best in their field, then you have to trust theirjudgment is the right one. a lot of disruption to sport because of the coronavirus and understandably because the world health organisation has advised against mass gatherings of people and that is what sport is. the ioc, no plans to postpone. although an ioc member a few days ago said there was a potential of it being postponed. i have sympathy for individual athletes. especially at this early stage when they are asked what they think. what are they going to say? i will listen and follow advice. it is not easy. and that could knock the training out are not good for athletes to spread it around the athletes' village. we heard from the ioc a couple of days ago that if they were to make any decisions about postponement or changing the timing of the olympics, they do not have to do that yet. not until may. some of the confusion lies in the fa ct some of the confusion lies in the fact that mixed messages come from the japanese directly. in the japanese government comments were made about what might or might not happen, which were may be different from what the ioc is saying. japan have a vested interest in them going ahead. they do not want any disruption or postponement. thank you. the collapse of airline flybe will have a huge impact on airlines across the uk — but what will it mean for passengers and businesses? ben is at birmingham airport for us this morning. what can you tell us? a busy morning here at birmingham. many flights leaving as planned but you might notice a distinct absence of flybe flights. staff are on hand to redirect passengers and handing out notices to give advice on may be where they can turn for more help. it isa where they can turn for more help. it is a story of regional connectivity, about getting people from regional airports to the big humps. a lot of flights due to leave to paris and amsterdam to get people to paris and amsterdam to get people to where they need to go to. i am joined by a passenger due on the flight joined by a passenger due on the flight about now. that was to amsterdam which would have taken you to singapore and australia. what have you been told? flybe has gone into administration and because of that, all my plans have gone. i phoned singapore airlines who told me to get through to another and they tell me that due to the fact it has gone into administration, no refund will be issued. you travel to the airport last night. this is a trick that has been months in the planning. what are your options now? i will book a flight for later today and try to get the other money back via travel insurance or credit card. you have been onto the phone to your insurer for you have been onto the phone to your insurerfor more you have been onto the phone to your insurer for more than an hour. and no answers. it is singapore airlines. the travel insurance is due to phone me back. because you do not have answers you cannot look at booking a new flight? how frustrating is it? really frustrating is it? really frustrating but i know there are flights leaving at 5pm that will get me to amsterdam and on to singapore and onwards but i will have to pay again and claim the other fair back in the future. talk to me about your plans in australia. a holiday of a lifetime, you were visiting friends, planning to go diving. what can i say? planning to go diving. what can i 7 i planning to go diving. what can i say? lam planning to go diving. what can i say? i am going to get there one way or the other. what do you need to know next to let you get on with your travel? whether i am covered or not. howl your travel? whether i am covered or not. how i go about getting my money back and whether i should book myself or whether 0podo will deal with it. i hope it goes all right for you this morning. 0ne story of a passenger, that being repeated up and down the country and so many challenges for passengers to get the information they need and what is worth remembering, flybe filtering into getting other passengers on to other airlines and as you heard, getting them onto some of the big hubs to carry on travel plans. birmingham airport say they are in talks with other airlines to try to ta ke talks with other airlines to try to take on some routes flybe offered to make sure the connectivity can continue. for some airports, make sure the connectivity can continue. forsome airports, flybe isa continue. forsome airports, flybe is a huge part of their business so not only questions for passengers and staff, but also big questions about the future of the airports themselves, those that rely on passenger flybe brings in. so lots of questions. we are getting some details from the firm but still a confused picture for many of the people coming here this morning. we will have more from birmingham throughout the morning. i know you will keep us updated, thank you so much. good morning, everybody. it is a chilly start if you are just stepping out, across the board. some have some frost this morning, particularly in the northern half of the country where there is also dense fog, especially in north—east england. in the northern half, we are looking at a mostly dry day with are looking at a mostly dry day with a few showers, whereas in the south, it's still going to be chilly and we have some rain and blustery wind, courtesy of this area of low pressure moving across southern coastal counties today, making inroads. it's really largely going to be affecting france later. the rain is pulling out of the south—west of england today, continuing across southern counties, some heavier rain for a time across the channel islands. north of that, still a fair bit of cloud across parts of the midlands, east anglia and wales but it will brighten up in wales and south—west england later on. for northern england, dense fog will slowly lift, but it will be followed with sunshine and showers across parts of northern ireland and scotla nd across parts of northern ireland and scotland as well. temperatures, six to 10 degrees. this evening and overnight, we say goodbye to the area of rain clearing away from the south—east, clear skies, a few showers and the next weather front coming in from the west. it is a cold night across the board, temperatures could full as low as —5 in parts of the highlands. some frost around and also the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. tomorrow, weather front coming ice on untreated surfaces. tomorrow, weatherfront coming in, tonight, moving west to east. the further east you are, the brighter the skies will be. 0utbrea ks east you are, the brighter the skies will be. outbreaks of rain drifting eastwards through the day. the weekend, we have a deep area of low pressure coming our way, with weather fronts bringing pressure coming our way, with weatherfronts bringing rain and one look at the isobars tells you it will be windy. strongest wind will be on saturday, but blustery on sunday. saturday first of all, bright note to start in the east but not long before the cloud rolls in and the first weather front moves rain from west to east, followed in hot pursuit by the second one doing the same. the wind will strengthen initially across the north and west and by the middle of the afternoon, all of us will have pretty gusty wind. the rain clears from the south—east during sunday, hanging around in shetland, and then behind it, sunshine and showers. some wintry on the higher ground in the north and still blustery, just not as windy as it's going to be on saturday, temperatures ranging from seven to 11. into next week, it remains very unsettled. thank you, carol. you might notice we're using sign language at the moment — and that's because one of manchester united's best players has swapped football training for signing lessons as he takes on a new challenge. in honour of world book day, he's judging a poetry competition for children with hearing loss. it all came about after a fan wrote him a letter asking him to do it. to find out more, i went to catch up with him at home. music not every hallway i walk into has this! marcus rashford, manchester united and england, 8 million followers on instagram. what was it that made you interested in poetry? it wasn't an interest of mine when i was younger. but ijust like to see obviously young people expressing themselves. and it's almost, in the same way like people listen to music, that's people sort of creating, having creative minds and expressing themselves. he's pulled it across. rashford! i remember when i was that young, the only way i could express myself was through football and that's when i felt like i was expressing myself the most. what are you expecting from these poems, what are you expecting from the kids? i think they'll definitely quite emotional, i think when you're young you're trying to explain some things sometimes the only way to do it is in an emotional sense. so it'll be nice to read through. it's going to be difficult to pick a winner. let's sit down. don'tjudge my cup of tea, though. you have chosen the theme for these poems, and you chose family. what made you choose that? just looking back to, obviously, when i was this age, and even now, the most important thing to me is family. so i think as a kid, you always have your happy moments with family members so it's going to be nice to read through them. you very recently posted a picture of yourself reading. yeah. and what were the responses to that like? i don't know, it was probably a mixed response. probably because people don't know that i enjoy reading. but, yeah, that was just one time, i thought i'd let everyone know. the children who have entered this competition have varying degrees of hearing loss. some of them are profoundly deaf. what are you hoping to see in the poems, what do you want to see from them? for me, i want to be able to understand, a little insight on what each individual is like. so for me, if you can sort of get your personality across, in writing a poem, it's good. so that's what i'm looking for. i have to say, you remember the boy that wrote to you, sheryar? yeah. now, this is his poem here. i've already read this, i know you haven't had a chance to read it. he's written about "my family". he's also put some very important pictures on it which looks like chicken and chips, xbox, fireworks and venice. so that's pretty creative, isn't it? yeah, very creative. this is from the infant school. my family. "my mummy is happy, my daddy is big." it's great, isn't it? one of the things that's really moving about them is they're so honest. yeah. and there's no kind of awkwardness or sense that it's different. i always found that in school as well. when you're at that age, sometimes saying things is difficult. so it's a lot easier to write it down. and you can bring that emotional side out of

at heathrow and london city airports this morning. 0n the roads. in shadwell, a lane is closed for gas works on the highway towards tower bridge. finally, lane one is closed clockwise on m25 atjunction 27 — that's for repairs to the bridge. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. some wet weather forecast for most of us today, particularly towards southern home counties. there's also a rather chilly easterly wind blowing too. temperatures in mid—single figures to start off the morning. there's quite a bit of mist around, a little bit of hill fog over the higher ground. you can see this area of rain towards the south here is gradually moving its way northwards as we head through the morning. some of the rain towards the south could turn out to be rather heavy. the further north and west you are, the drier it will tend to be though even here we are expecting some showers as we head through the afternoon. top temperatures today between five and eight degrees celsius, but there will be quite a bit of added wind—chill, and a cool easterly wind blowing. so plenty of cloud around, the showers will gradually fade away as we head through the evening and there will be some clear spells developing. in the clear spells, expect a little bit of frost into tomorrow morning. it's going to be quite a chilly start to friday, temperatures down to very close to freezing. watch out for a few icy stretches. but tomorrow is looking like a dry day, and a nicer day of weather, maybe one or two afternoon showers and we'll see some spells of sunshine. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. good morning welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today. the end for flybe. britain's biggest regional airline goes into administration — partly caused by the coronavirus outbreak. the airline failed to reach a deal with the government over a hundred million pound bailout — the bews puts thousands ofjobs and the future of several uk airports at risk. a new report says the nhs doesn't have enough nurses, as health officials warn we're likely to see a coronavirus epidemic. schools and colleges across italy have shut for ten days, as the country deals with europe's worst outbreak of the virus. after a surprise exit from the fa cup, tottenham's eric dier jumps into the crowd to confront a fan. the player had to be restrained by security after the fan allegedly insulted him and his family. good morning, the north of the country starting with dens fog, particularly in north—east england, but it will lift and sunshine will come through with showers. further south, cloudy and some rain and blustery conditions. i will have all the details in ten minutes. it's thursday the 5th of march. our top story. the british airline flybe has gone into administration putting thousands ofjobs at risk after talks to try and save it failed. the company collapsed in the early hours of this morning. writing to staff, the company boss said the coronavirus had put additional pressure on an already difficult situation. our business correspondent, theo leggett reports. we'd like to thank you for your patience and understanding on what has been a very difficult evening. thank you and have a very safe homeward journey. as the last flights of the evening landed at flybe's exeter airport home, company insiders were already admitting the game was up. the carrier, which, just weeks ago, seemed to have been saved from collapse, had finally run out of runway. passengers who had flown in from manchester were shocked by what was happening. it's very sad. i feel sorry for all the staff — the situation they have been put in is really difficult. there was confusion on wednesday evening as rumours about flybe's fate spread rapidly. for a while, its website was accepting bookings, while reports emerged of aircraft being impounded. bbc reporter holly hamilton was on a service due to fly out from manchester. we started to taxi away from the gates and we thought — even though we could see on social media there were some flights being cancelled, in glasgow, etc. but, unfortunately, we did feel the taxiing was taking a little bit longer than normal and a few of us realised it was indeed heading back to the gate again. so, unfortunately, that is where we heard. flybe's collapse will be keenly felt. it was the biggest operator at many regional airports and carried 8 million passengers a year on routes within the uk and to a number of european destinations. just weeks ago, it looked as though flybe had been saved. its owners — virgin atlantic, stobart group and cyrus capital — agreed to pump money into the business and had been hoping the government would provide a £100 million loan. but the money didn't arrive and the coronavirus outbreak took a heavy toll on bookings. the transport secretary, grant shapps, insisted the government was not to blame. we are all absolutely gutted, really. flybe, a household name, people have been flying them for 40 years. and we really tried to do everything we possibly could back at the turn of the year and, unfortunately, though, with the situation that has developed with corona, an already weak company i'm afraid just hasn't been able to survive. now, more than 2000 staff at flybe, along with many workers at regional airports, face a deeply uncertain future. it looks as though passengers, meanwhile, will have to fend for themselves and try to recover their costs from debit and credit card providers or their travel insurance policies. let's speak to katy austin who's in exeter, where flybe is based. katy — what's the latest? not much is going on here at exeter airport and this departure board illustrates why. almost all flights here scheduled today were run by flybe and only one macro at 7am which was operated by tui. destinations like amsterdam and edinburgh and dublin cancelled. passengers were told not to turn up. if they did they would see check—in desk close. we spoke to passengers who had not heard the news or simply wa nted who had not heard the news or simply wanted to take their chances and they were very disappointed. this was originally planned as a surprise christmas present for my wife. we travelled to paris quite often. we are so travelled to paris quite often. we are so surprised. we did not pay any attention to the tickets because it said air france. we did not realise they were tied in with flybe so now we have to find a way to get back home. overnight, staff would have got a letter from the chief executive expressing regret that despite efforts to save the company the financial future could not be secured and he and other airlines that have been hit by the coronavirus impact, he said the coronavirus impact, he said the coronavirus had a big effect on flybe's future and demise. the government said it will try to support staff losing jobs to try to get them into new roles and said it will do its best to support the process of getting other airlines into run routes. it is notjust passengers and staff affected, the airports themselves like this one really rely on regional flights that flybe provided so they will hope that to ensure their future as airports, other airlines step in and ta ke airports, other airlines step in and take on at least some of the route flybe will be vacant. thank you. you can see the airport very quiet there now. the nhs in england doesn't have enough nurses, according to a new report, as officials warn that an epidemic of coronavirus is likely. the national audit office says there are 43,000 nursing vacancies. today, schools and universities across italy will be closed as governments struggle to contain the outbreak. 0ur correspondent jon donnison reports. as the number of uk cases rises by the day, it emerged two of the latest people to become infected were patients at king's college hospital in london. they were being treated for a different condition when they tested positive for the virus. the hospital says strict cross contamination measures have been put in place and the two patients have now been transferred to a specialist unit elsewhere. and with much debate over what extra resources the nhs might need to handle a nationwide outbreak, the national audit office is warning today of a shortage of nurses. meanwhile, in italy, where there have been more than 2700 cases and over 100 deaths, all schools and universities across the country will be closed from today. the government says they won't be reopened until mid—march in an effort to contain the virus. back in the uk, where the outbreak is much less extensive, such drastic measures are not yet being considered, but doctors are warning here too the number of cases will almost certainly rise. jon donnison, bbc news. 0ur correspondent bethany bell is in milan. i think there is a school behind you which presumably is closed. this will get complicated quickly in terms of how people will cope. will get complicated quickly in terms of how people will copem will get complicated quickly in terms of how people will cope. it is a very complicated situation here. the school behind me in milan, we have seen administrative staff walking in and out but it should be said that schools in parts of the north of the country that have been most hit by the outbreak have been shut for almost two weeks and last night, the government decided they would extend that to include schools and universities across the country in their attempt to try to stem the spread of the coronavirus and of course, this will be very difficult for parents. we do not know yet exactly what measures the government will do in order to help people deal with child care, whether they will give them money to help with that or whether they will allow people to stay at home from work to try to look after children. the government also introduced other measures. they have asked cinemas and theatres to stay shut and major sporting events will take place behind closed doors. people are advised to wash their hands, not to kiss, not to shake hands, not to kiss, not to shake hands, and people are wondering how long this will go on for. thank you. california has declared a state of emergency after announcing its first death related to coronavirus, bringing the number of deaths in the us to 11. the victim was a 71—year—old man who had underlying health conditions and had been on a cruise ship. as the virus continues to spread, authorities have confirmed more than 92,000 cases worldwide. the duke of cambridge has called for the uk and ireland to strengthen and protect their bond after brexit. speaking in dublin, prince william said the progress the two countries had made together should never be taken for granted. the comments were made as the royal couple continue a three—day tour. carol explained earlier that it is to psy—tu rvy carol explained earlier that it is topsy—turvy weather. good morning. yes, good morning, everybody. if you are travelling across northern england, watch out for dens fog. visibility is poor in some areas but the forecast in the northern half of the forecast in the northern half of the country today is mostly dry, whereas more cloud and rain in the south. the rain has been coming in across the southwest, channel islands and english channel generally and you can see the track it is taking, taking a swipe at southern england before later tonight eventually clearing. behind it, cloud and showers. but brightening up in the south—west of england and wales. north of that, when we lose the fog, it will brighten up and brighten up in northern ireland and scotland with a few showers, some of which will be wintry on the hills. around this rain will be blustery. wherever you are, it will feel cold. through the latter pa rt are, it will feel cold. through the latter part of the afternoon, you can see what is left of the rain in the south—east. brightening up with sunny spells in south—west england and wales and then sunny skies and showers across northern england and northern ireland and scotland. the showers, not all of us will see them. it could be wintry in the hills in the north. through the rest of tonight, saying goodbye to the rain. and the next weather front shows its hand from the west, introducing showers, some of which will be wintry in the hills, and it will be wintry in the hills, and it will be wintry in the hills, and it will be a cold night. a frosty night with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. temperatures in north—east scotla nd surfaces. temperatures in north—east scotland could fall as low as —5 degrees. that weather front will drift east and as we head through the weekend, you can see what is coming. low pressure introducing more rain and strong winds. the strongest will be on saturday but it will still be blustery as we head into sunday. flights were grounded last night and the flybe website was taken offline after crisis talks failed to rescue the company. it was europe's largest regional airline but it had been struggling for some time. it carried eight million passengers a year and operated 119 routes across the uk and europe. the collapse of the airline puts 2000 jobs at risk. flybe had a big presence at many regional airports, including aberdeen, belfast and southampton, which will be hugely affected by the loss of business. and passengers or people who have already bought tickets may not be covered by travel insurance or atol protection. one of the airports likely to be badly hit is belfast, louise cullen is there for us. louise, what will this mean for employees and passengers there? as you can see, it is very quiet at george best city airport. they say the message not to travel here has got out. last year it operated 500,000 flights from here by flybe, 1.6 million passengers, 77% of the departures from this airport were operated by flybe. that shows you the scale of the impact in northern ireland. here there were 20 scheduled flights to take off this morning and of those 20, just five we re morning and of those 20, just five were not flybe flights and they were to the one destination, heathrow. looking at the departures board, it tells its own story. it all says cancelled and that is a lot of passengers making a lot of phone calls this morning. thanks. let's speak now to aviation consultant john strickland. can you tell us how much of an impact the flybe collapse will have on regional airports? as you heard from the correspondence in belfast, flybe is a massive player in the regions and belfast is badly hit, but by far and away the worst is southampton where it accounts for 95% of the airport's flights and in newquay and exeter, it is the main player. the challenge is that regional air services are difficult to operate profitably. passenger volumes tend to be lower and traffic can be seasonal. people are price conscious because airlines have to compete with surface transport and on top of that they face a big tax burden ofair on top of that they face a big tax burden of air passenger duty. we have heard how much of a problem coronavirus has been and that has tipped them over the edge, how much ofa tipped them over the edge, how much of a problem do you think coronavirus has been for flybe? of a problem do you think coronavirus has been for flybe7m is intangible at the moment, we know that from pretty much every airline in the country and globally this is a serious problem, this is perhaps the straw that broke the camels back. this is a sad state of affairs today but it's not a surprise, flybe has been loss—making for very many yea rs. has been loss—making for very many years. it is a large airline, 60 aircraft, but it's too big for the job it is trying to do. it comes from over ambition in management in the past, having ordered a large amount of expensive aircraft, a successive amount of management have tried to reduce that. they also rely on business travellers, many have cancelled travel, there are lots of travel bans because of the virus so that's the last straw. why do you think talks with the government failed? the government said that it wa nted failed? the government said that it wanted to level up the uk, that it look like it might step in. it was a lwa ys look like it might step in. it was always questionable whether they could or could legally do so. in the end they said they had been caught out by the transition period from the brexit process negotiations going on this year, they talked about possibly giving a payment holiday relief on the passenger tax for a period of time, possibly loaning the airline money. that understandably cause a big backlash from other airlines in the uk which complained it was far from a level playing field and it was preferential treatment for flybe. that wasn't going to happen and the airline was aware that for several weeks. you say at times the airline was overly ambitious, what other floors weather in their business plan? their costs of operation were very high. people look for competitive prices in regional air prices, especially when choosing between rail or car travelling and flying. the tax burden, which doesn't go to the airline but to the uk treasury, is a big part of that. airlines need to make sure their cost base is as low as possible. we have seen ryanair this week saying that they have 4 billion euros of cash in the bank. this airline didn't have money in the bank and if you don't have that, to weather any normal storms which this industry faces is a challenge. the aircraft we re faces is a challenge. the aircraft were too numerous and i think not all over the routes will be picked up all over the routes will be picked upfor all over the routes will be picked up for that reason. some of the roots of a very small and challenging to make money on. there aren't many regional airlines that can step in. some aircraft companies have two big aircraft, and perhaps there are some smaller one like loganair that could step in but i think some routes would end up with no service after today. but what will all this mean for passengers? we can talk to the travel editor of the independent simon calder, who is at birmingham airport. my my first question is, what does this mean for passengers? well, for the people i have been talking to here at birmingham, which is the main base, the biggest operation for flybe, it just means base, the biggest operation for flybe, itjust means misery. even though the airline sent out messages at 2am saying, don't turn up today, many people didn't see that. the first people i met were a group of lads heading off to amsterdam, they are very disappointing, they've also lost their accommodation booking there. they can try and claim on travel insurance. next up, a couple heading to australia, all they wa nted heading to australia, all they wanted was a short hop to amsterdam then they were connecting to singapore and cairns in north queensland. unfortunately, i have been trying to help them for the the last few hours. the airline didn't wa nt to last few hours. the airline didn't want to know, they got through to the agent and they said, because its financialfailure, the agent and they said, because its financial failure, you can't the agent and they said, because its financialfailure, you can't have the agent and they said, because its financial failure, you can't have a refu nd financial failure, you can't have a refund or rebooking on another flight. refund or rebooking on another flight. that was an online travel agent based abroad. real human travel agents in this country will already be working on it. hundreds of thousands of people like me have bookings with flybe. that is my boarding pass, it's for a flight to edinburgh in about an hour and a half, its not going to be going. i was able to buy that late last night, they were still selling tickets. now i'm going to have to claim that bank from my bank, the ca rd claim that bank from my bank, the card issuer, and that will be the main way that most people will get their money back. then you have got to find another flight, and that could cost you an awful lot more. we have just got the first notification of so—called rescue flights, this is where the airline says, and other airline says, we will carry your passengers for you. £65 from easyj et, passengers for you. £65 from easyjet, any time up to the end of may. the trouble is, easyjet does not match exactly many of those flights. it's still better than many of the alternatives, and easyjet have also said that they will carry flybe stuff you need to get home, free, today or tomorrow. —— flybe staff. thank you so much, simon. simon giving us a few more options for passengers of flybe. the spread of the coronavirus has brought with it concerns about people gathering in big groups, and yesterday the newjames bond film became the first major film to change its schedule. the release of no time to die has been put back by seven months because of the virus. we can speak now to siobhan synnot, who is a film reviewer and arts critic. good morning to you. talk us through the reason as given by the film's makers? this is the first significant move by hollywood in response to the coronavirus, and bond have decided to move or delay the release to november from april. they were talking at one point about just delaying the china release, but that has been overtaken by events. china is a really huge part of hollywood's film market, it represents 20% of the potential box office take. at the moment, just about all of china's cinemas are closed. i think that's had a significant impact on the decision that the bond films are taken. and of course, it's notjust the movies that are coming to your cinema which are affected. i'm at the glasgow film festival at the moment, and the seventh mission impossible movie has ceased production in italy, one of the other sites of significant coronavirus impact. that's why, luckily for the glasgow film festival, simon pegg was able to come because he was suddenly footloose and fancy free. the issue around bond release is a straightforward decision, there are health decisions about people gathering in cinemas which could be important or not but this is a straightforward financial call, they think less people would see the film so they would make less money?m think less people would see the film so they would make less money? it is definitely an economic thing. the promotion work was on the way, we had the title music already released, daniel craig was meant to present saturday night live, but now it is all on hold. there is some apprehension as well. while cinemas may be close, when they reopen, there is no guarantee that people will necessarily come back. in china, there is a particular problem for all those movies that are lining up, 1917, little women, there are very few slots available so that will have a significant impact as well. not all events are being cancelled. the kennel club say crufts will go ahead today in birmingham with "enhanced measures" to protect people. we can now speak to nick blayney from the kennel club. first of all, can you explain to us why you have decided that it's wise to go ahead with the event today? we have been taking advice from the health protection agency and deaf over the last few weeks. this has clearly been a great —— and defra. but the advice that we received was that it would be appropriate to go forward with the event. last year, crafts attracted 60,000 people. what can you do to protect people who do wa nt to can you do to protect people who do want to come along to the event? the nec has introduced a range of measures to make sure that there is hand sanitiser available everywhere around the show, and obviously, in the toilet facilities and everything. people will be encouraged and reminded to wash their hands. as far as the hygiene of the dogs is concerned, we have introduced measures there to make sure that we do everything we can to protect them. and to prevent cross contamination of the humans around them. we have done everything that is expected in a public event such as this. many of the overseas dogs last year came from italy, what's the situation is there, have any competitors cancelled ? the situation is there, have any competitors cancelled? there have been a few cancellations. i don't have the precise numbers, i'm afraid, i can't give you a definite a nswer to afraid, i can't give you a definite answer to that. certainly we have had a number of cancellations because clearly the event is on that people are not obliged to attend, they can make their own decisions if they can make their own decisions if they want to. how disappointed are you that we have heard that sponsors are asking staff not to attend? well, i think the same approach has been taken, certainly with all the kennel club staff, it's entirely at their discretion whether they attend or not. it is disappointing, but everybody must make their own decisions and the show is very busy and it's going ahead without any apparent problems. on that basis, if people don't turn up, that's fine. we can proceed without them and we hope very much that there will be no problems arising from it. thank you very much indeed and don't forget, . .. don't forget, you can keep up to date with all the developments around the coronavirus outbreak online. you can find out about the symptoms to watch out for and what it means for you on the bbc news app and on our website. that's bbc.co.uk/news. were saying is welcome in the next five minutes or so, we will be —— worth saying as well, we will be speaking to the health minister in the next five minutes or so, talking about the latest developments in the virus in the hospitals, but also some of those major events. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a murder investigation

the latest from bbc london in half an hour. hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and sally nugent. british airline flybe has gone into administration after talks to secure a one hundred million pound government loan failed. in the early hours of this morning, the company boss told staff that the coronavirus had put additional pressure on an already difficult situation. the airline is europe's largest regional operator and its collapse means 2,000 jobs are now at risk. we're all absolutely gutted, really. flybe — household name. people have been flying them for 40 years. and we really tried to do everything that we possibly could back at the turn of the year and, unfortunately, though, with the situation that has developed with corona, an already weak company, i'm afraid, just hasn't been able to survive. 0ur political correspondent chris mason joins us live from westminster now. chris, how are the government expected to help people? good morning, that statement published by flybe at 3:16am, and moments later the transport secretary grant shapps offered his response. the government is aware, we heard from them a couple of months ago when it looked like flybe had been saved injanuary, just how important those roots are in terms of regional connectivity, which has a lwa ys of regional connectivity, which has always mattered, but what is politically interesting is the government of borisjohnson has made a particular thing of it since the general election, with talk about so—called levelling up. they had hoped, the government, to be able to help out flybe a couple of months ago with talk of potentially changing air passenger duty, which we pay when we take a flight out of auk we pay when we take a flight out of a uk airport. it doubly affects an airline like flybe because lots of the flights are within the uk and you the flights are within the uk and y°u pay the flights are within the uk and you pay on the outbound and inbound flight. it you pay on the outbound and inbound flight. it looked like the government was not able to do anything about that whilst we are still within the rules of the european union. yes, we have left the eu but because we are in the transition period effectively nothing has changed. the government says it has staff at all airports to help passengers. there will be no flybe flights today. they hope train companies will accept flybe tickets but then there is the question of what the government does in the medium term to support any other operator who might want to pick up some of the route flybe used to fly. we are hearing from the government that the coronavirus is what tipped flybe over the edge but an aviation expert on this programme said that is one factor in a much bigger picture. flybe had been struggling asa picture. flybe had been struggling as a business for some years and we have seen in the past couple of days other airlines like virgin and british airways scaled back flights because of the coronavirus. from the perspective of flybe, which was already struggling to fill seats, it would then be adversely affected to a greater extent by something like coronavirus if it was already in a perilous financial situation. what the government will face and is already facing is criticism, whether from the air line pilots association, saying they have been let down, and obviously from passengers. we are seeing that articulated by political leaders with arlene foster the first minister of northern ireland. george best belfast airport is reliant on flights from flybe. the transport secretary making a point about that, the big question of regional connectivity. next week's budget was going to be hastily rewritten because of coronavirus. with this, some extra rewriting to do. chris mason, thank you. the nhs in england doesn't have enough nurses, according to a new report — as officials warn that an epidemic of coronavirus is likely. the national audit office says there are 43,000 nursing vacancies. yesterday saw the biggest increase in the number of infected people in the uk, bringing the total number to 87. california has declared a state of emergency after announcing its first death related to coronavirus, bringing the number of deaths in the us to 11. the victim was a 71—year—old man who had underlying health conditions and had been on a cruise ship. as the virus continues to spread, authorities have confirmed more than 92,000 cases worldwide. we can turn our attention to sport. good morning. a lot of people can get protective about their family, especially if they have insults thrown at them and footballers have a lot of insults thrown at them. all the time. i imagine nobody likes to hear insults about their family or theirfamily being to hear insults about their family or their family being upset because they have been insulted, which happened last night. tottenham midfielder eric dier had to be restrained by security after confronting a fan who had allegedly insulted him and his family. dierjumped into the crowd — you can see him in the middle of the crowd there — angrily challenging the tottenham fan after his team was knocked out of the fa cup. managerjose mourinho said that he shouldn't have done it but that he understood dier‘s frustrations. this person insulted eric. the family was there. the young brother was not happy with the situation and then eric, i repeat, did what we professionals, we cannot do, but did something that probably we would do. not quite eric cantona with the kung fu kick. the confrontation came as tottenham were knocked out of the fa cup last night by norwich. keeper tim krul was the hero for the canaries the hero for the canaries as they won on penalties. the premier league strugglers will now face either derby county or manchester united in the last eight, with that game being played this evening. manchester city and leicester city are also through to the next round. celtic have increased their lead at the top of the scottish premiership, despite being held to a 2—2 draw at livingston. it looked like celtic were heading for defeat, but were rescued by tom rogic in injury time. rangers lost at home to hamilton, so celtic are now 13 points clear in the league. england's women are out of the t20 world cup. their semi—final against india has been called off in the last hour, without a ball being bowled, after heavy rain in sydney. india go through because of their better record in the group stage. rain could also wash out the second semi—final between australia and south africa at the same venue. england's final six nations men's and women's matches against italy will be played behind closed doors in rome, because of the coronavirus outbreak. meanwhile, ioc president thomas bach insists there's been no talk of the olympics being cancelled or postponed despite the growing impact of the virus. the tokyo games are due to start in latejuly, a number of test events have been postponed, but speaking to the media after an ioc committe meeting in lausanne yesterday, bach refused to engage in the possibilty of the games not starting on time. i will not add fuel to the flame of speculation by giving a date here, giving a date out and fuelling more speculation. 0ur statement from yesterday is very clear. we are fully committed. the official line is he says no postponement. but we will see. the virus is increasing. thousands ofjobs are at risk, and customers are being told not to go to the airport after the collapse of europe's biggest regional airline flybe. the firm had been in talks with the government to try and come up with a rescue plan. we can speak now to the health minister edward argar. good morning. 0n flybe, we know they said amongst other factors, coronavirus has had a bearing on what has happened. i wonder why didn't the government do more to help? the first thing to say about flybe is our thoughts are with the staff who are affected by this and we will work closely with them to support them and help them find new work. we are working closely also with the industry to make sure passengers are not inconvenienced on route flybe would have flown, that they are filled. the government has worked with flybe in the past. it is an airline that has cited coronavirus as a factor in the commercial decision made, but we know it has had commercial challenges in the past and for some time, so it is not the only factor. we are working with affected staff and with passengers. it is notjust coronavirus they cited as the reason this has happened. your government has talked about levelling up in connection with regions and everybody talking about flybe says it is about regional connectivity. and yet, this airline that helps so much in that area that your government hold so dear has been allowed to fail. as flybe have said, it was essentially a commercial decision by them. it is an airline that has been suffering from challenges for some time. i do not think it is a reflection on that levelling up agenda on regional connectivity. we will work with the industry to ensure those roots continue to be served and all regions of the uk continue to have the connectivity needed to flourish. let's talk about coronavirus. can you give us the latest information you give us the latest information you have in terms of statistics? you will have seen and a lot of the coverage this morning covers it, the 87 cases in the uk. the number rose significantly yesterday in percentage terms. that is something the chief medical officer has been clear from the outset that we should expect. we should expect more cases and looking at other countries where this has happened, you have a slow start and then you see slightly steeper rises, which is what we are seeing. we have seen more cases. it is still a relatively low in absolute terms but this is something the chief medical officer told us to expect and follows the advice given in terms of how it is behaving. expect and follows the advice given in terms of how it is behavingm is suggested that because of the significant rise announced yesterday, government policy will move from what was called containment to delay. is that the case? we are still in the containment phase of our approach to keeping people safe and to tackling this disease. yes the number of cases has increased, but the majority of those, the overwhelming majority of those, the overwhelming majority are linked to travel and people who travelled and a small numberare people who travelled and a small number are still being looked into. there is no evidence at this point of community transmission of this disease. the advice from the chief medical officer, as we saw on tuesday, we are setting out so the public can see this sort of options that might be considered if we needed to move the phase and delay this disease but at the moment the chief medical officer is clear we are in the containment phase and will not move from that except on his advice in the face of changes in circumstances. it has been suggested, looking at hospitals, there has been... the disease has been transmitted within hospitals. do you have specific worries about that? there is no evidence of community transmission but in terms of hospitals and how they operate, we have the best health service in the world. you would expect me to say that but i think it is true, and we have the most amazing people working in the nhs. they are experts on infection and disease control within hospital and more broadly within hospital and more broadly within the wider country, but particularly in hospitals. we have robust processes in place to control transmission of disease and infection in hospitals and where a transmission occurs to catch that and ensure people are protected and safe and get the treatment they need. until now, the government has been giving the public geographical information as to where the positive cases, those infected, are, in terms of their location in a county. that is changing. why are you changing that? i have seen press reports on this. it is not changing. what happened yesterday to today, previously we had a small number of cases each day so it was relatively easy to do that. we saw a significant increase in numerical terms yesterday, which made it rather more difficult. my boss, the health secretary, is clear that we will report on geographical spread and locations, but there is a lag time yesterday because of the increase. what we are looking at is whether we can find a tech solution to enable us to keep people informed because keeping everyone informed is important, but to do it in an efficient way that is easy to administer. is part of your concern that telling people specifically where people have tested positive, that in itself could cause a problem in terms of the way people behave? we are working to continue with that geographical information because anything in this sort, it is a new disease, we are learning everyday how works and what it does so people will have concerns and questions, so it's right that we give out as much information as we can as we did with the document on tuesday, setting out if we have to move to the next phase watch sort of measures might be included. it's important we share as much information we can with the public to reassure and keep people informed. i think there is a positive from this, in terms of public engagement. can i ask you about the next measures? looking at the situation in italy, the government giving advice in terms of people's direct contact with each other, in terms of handshaking and kissing, there are reports that the british government could be considering similar measures or advice? you will have seen in that document on tuesday a raft of possible measures that would have the effect in different ways of helping to delay this illness, and to delay its impact. italy, as with every other country, will take the measures it thinks on the basis of its local conditions, what's happening to the disease in its country and on its local medical advice, what it thinks is the most effective measure at the most effective measure at the most effective time to slow down and tackle this disease. that's exactly what we will be doing at the moment. we are at the moment successfully containing and limiting the spread of the disease but we didn't set out a raft of measures on tuesday that we could —— we did set out a raft of measures on tuesday that we could ta ke measures on tuesday that we could take if we wanted to. the cmo will be giving advice on which measures we should be putting in place. with every one of those possible interventions, if we look at those measures in italy, be it school closures or limiting public gatherings, there will always be a trade—off in terms of, a, what achieves a medical outcome in being effective, but also the societal or economic or individual price of doing that. it's really important we get the measures right in terms of what has a positive impact but that we also get the timing right, we don't want to implement something too early in which case the individual impact is great but the medical impact could be limited, or do it too late, minimising economic or social impact that reducing the medical efficiency. the cma will be better placed to advise at the right time what we should do.|j better placed to advise at the right time what we should do. i would like to ask one less thing. a lot of people trying to do the right thing, and hand washing is the simplest way to do things. a lot of people are concerned that they are unable to get hold of the gels to help when they are travelling, there is a shortage, a lot of people is reporting. hand washing is the principal issue but what can you tell us about the shortage of gels? is anything being done to help that specifically? what i would say is, there is no need for people to stockpile or by vast amounts of things, gel or anything else. they should continue as normal with their normal shopping habits. i do come back with the basic point, the most effective way of containing this disease and stopping its spread is firstly catching coughs and sneezes in tissues, but also soap and water and a proper old—fashioned hand wash. people say they sing the national anthem or happy birthday, i saw one which was the fantastic thing, schoolchildren washing their hands to the slightly catchy, irritatingly catchy baby shark song. there's a sort of things, making sure you wash with the right amount of time with hot water and soap, are still very basic but the most effective way of controlling this disease and keeping ourselves and others safe and reducing transmission. thank you very much. don't forget, you can keep up to date with all the developments around the coronavirus outbreak online. you can find out about the symptoms to watch out for and what it means for you on the bbc news app and on our website. that's bbc.co.uk/news. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, everyone. thank you, charlie. i have got a gorgeous weather watcher picture to start with this morning, this is the lovely sunrise in northern ireland. northern england and scotland will have the driest conditions. first thing this morning in northern england, some dense fog. southern england, some dense fog. southern england has more cloud and rain moving across southern counties, accompanied by blustery winds. all accompanied by blustery winds. all accompanied by blustery winds. all accompanied by an area of low pressure which will drift eastwards and affect the near continent. not much of a way of a breeze to have today. there will be some heavy rain this morning, particularly over the channel islands, and blustery wind around it. if you pull out to the big picture, you can see its progress to the east, it will brighten up across south—west england and wales but quite a lot of cloud in east anglia and the midlands, down towards hampshire and dorset, with one or two showers. dense fog in northern england this morning will lift slowly, then bright skies and sunshine with a few showers. northern ireland and scotland, a mixture of bright spells, sunny spells and showers, still wintry in the hills. chilly everywhere with temperatures between six and eight, just below par for the stage in march. this evening and overnight we say goodbye to the rain with some clear skies, and then the next batch of rain courtesy of weather front comes our way, depositing some snow on the hills. a cold and frosty night with the risk of ice on surfaces and patchy mist and fog forming. that should lift tomorrow because the weather front will be pushing from the west towards the east through the course of tomorrow and effectively it will bea of tomorrow and effectively it will be a showery band of rain so the further east you are, the drier and brighter it will be but we cannot rule out a shower in eastern areas, they are showers, not all of us seeing them. 6—11 for the temperature, so it's still a chilly feel. a deep area of low pressure coming our way at the weekend, not a named storm, some weather fronts attached with some rain on them but it will be windy particularly through saturday. 0n it will be windy particularly through saturday. on saturday, a bright note initially in the east but not long till the cloud romps in with the first band of rain heading west to east headed in hot pursuit with the second one which will be fairly persistent. windy, strengthening wind through the day, windy for us all by the time we get to the afternoon, especially with the exposure at the east. six to 11 degrees. the front clears the south—east on sunday, hanging around around shetland for much of the day, and then sunshine and showers but still blustery winds. some of the showers will be wintry in the northern hills. i showed you that beautiful weather watchers picture at the start of my broadcast, we love receiving them, please keep

will have a huge impact on airlines across the uk but what will it mean for passengers and businesses? ben is at birmingham airport for us this morning. what can you tell us? good morning to you from here in birmingham. for some flights, good morning to you from here in birmingham. forsome flights, it's business as usual but you might be able to make out in the distance, the flybe desk very empty, worried passengers turning up and asking for advice on what they should do next. flybe used to connect hubs like birmingham to major hubs to tell q on elsewhere, we were talking to a passenger this morning due to fly from here at 6:45am, who was going to amsterdam, then to singapore and then cairns in australia. looking at then cairns in australia. looking at the board, 12 flights are cancelled this morning so passengers are advised not to turn up but those that do have a bit of an anxious wait to find out what is happening. let me introduce you to henrietta from the birmingham chamber of commerce. give me a sense of how important this airport and those actions are to birmingham as a whole. birmingham airport is hugely important to the business community, we are a big exporting region, lots of company trading around the world to the global connectivity is very important. should we be concentrating on things like flights? concentrating on things like flights ? clearly concentrating on things like flights? clearly there are implications like environmental implications, should we not spend the money on improving train and road services, not the idea of an airport which is hugely polluting and also causes further problems? it's in many respects expensive way to travel around the country. we need both realistically, birmingham airport is very resilient. there are already talks going on to replace the roots that flybe flu. travel by air is important but also investment in local rail, hs2, that is a major impact in the region, so we will be looking out for broader investment in regional infrastructure in the budget coming up. one of the reasons that flybe has given is a slump of bookings because of coronavirus. talk to me about hospitality in birmingham and the impact? we are already hearing reports of businesses like hospitality, people worried about cancelling bookings and travelling, but the key thing to bearin and travelling, but the key thing to bear in mind is the government advice at the moment, and that is centred on people who have already travelled to areas which have a high rate of coronavirus. we ask people to keep responsible with their response. keep proportionate, keep an eye on the government advice. thank you, nice to see you. those are the sort of the greater birmingham chamber of commerce. for business passengers and also for leisure passengers as well. let's not forget about the 2000 staff employed by flybe, a very difficult time for them as well. more from here later on. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a murder investigation has been launched following the death of a 16—year—old boy in newham. shanur ahmed had been reported missing by his family. he was found with head injuries at gallions reach dlr station on tuesday. police said "a group of about 30 males carrying baseball bats" were seen near the station. they're investigating whether there's a link. parents who lose a baby during pregnancy or birth are now being offered support from a specialist counsellor at st thomas' hospital. emily lost her baby at 21 weeks and says counselling has been vital. extra funding means the bereavement charity, petals has been able to expand across london. these services should be talked about more. there should be more available. they should just be standard, because the science and all of the evidence says that everyone is better off if people are supported more. a man who was given the george medal after thwarting a kidnap attempt on princess anne nearly 50 years ago has sold it for £50,000. ronnie russell punched the man who tried to kidnap the princess at gunpoint. the former heavyweight boxer put the medal up for auction to pay for his funeral following recent ill health. new figures show delays on the tube caused by defective trains have increased by a third in three years. just over 5,000 mechanical issues led to a delay last year. conservatives on the london assembly, who obtained the figures, say the network is "creaking at the seams". city hall says the mayor is investing record amounts into the network. that takes us to the travel. and it's looking good on the tubes this morning. as we know flybe has now ceased trading so all flights are cancelled at heathrow and london city airports. 0n the roads. in new southgate, traffic is slow on the north circular towards finchley. finally — lane one is closed clockwise on m25 atjunction 27 — that's for repairs to the bridge. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. some wet weather forecast for most of us today, particularly towards southern home counties. there's also a rather chilly easterly wind blowing too. temperatures in mid—single figures to start off the morning. there's quite a bit of mist around, a little bit of hill fog over the higher ground. you can see this area of rain towards the south here is gradually moving its way northwards as we head through the morning. some of the rain towards the south could turn out to be rather heavy. the further north and west you are, the drier it will tend to be though even here we are expecting some showers as we head through the afternoon. top temperatures today between five and eight degrees celsius, but there will be quite a bit of added wind—chill, and a cool easterly wind blowing. so plenty of cloud around, the showers will gradually fade away as we head through the evening and there will be some clear spells developing. in the clear spells, expect a little bit of frost into tomorrow morning. it's going to be quite a chilly start to friday, temperatures down to very close to freezing. watch out for a few icy stretches. but tomorrow is looking like a dry day, and a nicer day of weather, maybe one or two afternoon showers and we'll see some spells of sunshine. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. good morning welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: the end for flybe. britain's biggest regional airline goes into administration — partly caused by the coronavirus outbreak. the airline failed to reach a deal with the government over a £100 million bailout. the announcement puts thousands ofjobs and the future of several uk airports at risk. a new report says the nhs doesn't have enough nurses, as health officials warn we're likely to see a coronavirus epidemic. schools and colleges across italy have shut for ten days, as the country deals with europe's worst outbreak of the virus. in the last few minutes, the fa have confirmed they will investigate tottenham player eric dier after he jumped into the crowd to confront a fan. the player had to be restrained by security after the fan allegedly insulted him and his family. it's after tottenham were kicked out of the fa cup. it's world book day, and i've been learning sign language with
