some rain and drizzle. the second weather front producing heavier rain in scotland and northern ireland, perhaps later into the northwest of england. winds will be stronger, temperatures will be higher to south to south—westerly winds, so 12—13 degrees. looking at the outlook, that milder air doesn't last too much longer. swept away by cooler showers on sunday. we have the jet stream on there. again, it is a bit stronger, but it is undulating, so we will see very variable weather, changeable weather, and probably the next area of low pressure bringing some wet and windy conditions early next week. once that rain moves through, then low pressure sits closer to the uk for a couple of days and will keep the showers going. so probably with a strongerjet next week, there may well be more rain. it certainly looks unsettled. we'll have showers or longer spells of rain, but still not that warm for the time of year. hello, this is bbc news with geeta guru—murthy. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in the uk rises to 39, and boris johnson says further transmission is "clearly on the cards". the most important thing now is that we prepare against a possible, very significant expansion of coronavirus in the uk population. a sharp rise in calls to 111, as the nhs struggles to cope with the volume of queries, asking for advice. and this evening, some of the british tourists held in a hotel in tenerife have returned home. the bbc has seen details of another complaint of bullying against the home secretary priti patel, this time dating back at least four years. members of the greek coastguard have been seen shooting near migrants in the sea to stop them reaching greece from turkey. in east yorkshire, many homes are still under water after the river aire overflowed its banks, following unprecedented rainfall in recent weeks. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kate andrews, economics correspondent at the spectator, and jack blanchard, editor of politico's london playbook. great to have you both with us. let's look at the front pages. the coronavirus is dominated everything again. it could cut global growth in half, according to tomorrow because my financial times. the papers as the chancellors preparing measures to help businesses cope. tomorrow's metro leads on allegations of bullying by the home secretary, priti patel, made by a former member of her staff. the guardian also reports on what it calls the pressure of patel with a photo of the minister leaving work today. on coronavirus, the paper says supermarkets are drawing contingency plans to cope with panic buying. tomorrow's daily express leads on the prime minister's warning that the prime minister's warning that the virus could spread within days. the daily mirror focuses on boris johnson's private life, the paper says mrjohnson broke the news that he is expecting a baby with his partner carrie simons just days after the death of his estranged wife's mother—in—law. the daily mail leads on the coronavirus. the paper says the nhs army has been put on standby to says the nhs army has been put on sta nd by to ca ptu re says the nhs army has been put on standby to capture a potential mass epidemic. the minister is planning to give himself sweeping powers in an attempt to stem the spread of the disease. let's have a closer look with the times. the idea of the prime minister give himself extra powers? yes, things are getting real now. tomorrow the promise or will hold this press conference showing all the extra stuff to the government may have to take. as we see this virus is now is operably spreading across the country, and newspapers are picking up on some of the most extreme measures just because we haven't seen this sort of thing in the country for such a long time. but the times picks up on the possibility of banning public gatherings, creating no go zones and parts of the country where coronavirus suddenly erupts in a particularly bad situation. it is important to say we don't know where oi’ important to say we don't know where or what if that will happen. but these are the sorts of things the government is now looking at. they will need emergency laws, powers the government doesn't normally have, but they will pass some legislation over the next few weeks to make sure they have all the different levers at their control to try to slow this thing down. the theory is that if we can at least stop it spreading quickly, then there's a chance it happens later into the summer when normally viruses don't spread, they aren't so serious and there's less pressure on the nhs. boris johnson says the numbers could go up in days, we just don't know clearly. it is the first time the government has come out to talk about this properly, it's this week. yet this has been building for several weeks? around the world it has been building, but here in the uk there are only a few cases so far, and of the 39 cases they can trace from other people coming in from other parts of the world where there has been more infection. in the uk, arguably it is still relatively small. i think the big step tomorrow is that we may be moving from the government saying they're trying to contain this to the government saying they are in their next phase of trying to delay this. i think that's why you are getting some of these really intense headline saying that there could be no go zones, things about travel, sweeping powers of the government can bring in that people will not have experienced before. but we aren't there yet, a lot of this will be worse case scenario. and actually it has also been briefed that tomorrow, the government plans to continue to say operate as normal, go about your business. we are not at the doomsday scenario yet. the times talk about a bill to be published later. but if that takes weeks to go through, is that takes weeks to go through, is that fast enough? i think so. this isn't something that will happen overnight. what is unusual about this virus as it seems to have a few weeks gestation period without showing any symptoms at all. we don't actually know how many people might be carrying it at any one time. but from speaking to people inside the government, they are expecting this thing to spread now, but they expect that to happen over a course of weeks. we aren't expecting... white nectar they have any idea as to when he could peak? they're admitting this is not something you can model perfectly. but the expectation is that middle of april into may is when we will see this thing becoming much more widespread than it is at the moment. asi widespread than it is at the moment. as i say, it is very difficult to know, you can't know if you can't test how many people are sick. the warmer weather in the summer will help curtail the spread. the daily mail is talking about a volunteer nhs army to tackle this mass epidemic. so there have been problems with resources, particularly staff in the nhs for a long time. a lot of the general election last year was about increasing those resources, whether that be nurses and doctors and the rest. but at the moment you can volunteer for the nhs but it is a six month process to be qualified. the daily mail is reporting they may try to speed up that process so that civilians can come and help to a range of things. they could be asked to feed patients, ferried them around wards or even deliver medicines. so that would be really incredible duty on the part of people who are healthy to come in and help those who aren't. but it also speaks to the fact that the health care service will be burdened. it already is in the winter months, but particularly around the coronavirus. that is a necessarily unique to the nhs, no government around the world was preparing for something like this to break out. but if it spreads, they will need more bodies to help. we've had ten years of conservative led government austerity, people have complained about under sourcing the nhs for years. now that there is potentially a crisis, our public volu nteers potentially a crisis, our public volunteers really going to cut it? they will help because there are lots of jobs they've they will help because there are lots ofjobs they've been doing in the hospital beyond the clinical staff. but the best way would've been investing in the nhs the last ten years, and not at a point where every winter we have a crisis. without a big virus outbreak, that is the reality of the health care system. in a sense that argument has moved on, the government is already now investing or planning to invest a huge amount of money into the nhs. but the worry will be obviously that money is not coming through soon enough to help us over the next few weeks. but volunteers are talking about here, even if they do the busy jobs, you have to find some who are willing to take the risk to go in the hospital and do that. and they've got to not make it difficult situation worse because they need to be able to behave in a way that is helpful. if you are a medical professional and right now you'd be concerned about what's coming over the next few weeks. do we have enough staff and ventilators? are the staff well equipped to deal with what's happening? i'm sure all the nhs staff are looking at this and thinking... if public transport is affected, if schools are closed, that affects people's ability to go to work. if they are a health care official, it's all linked, isn't it? absolutely. the strain the nhs normally feels would be intensified. i don't think anyone doubts that, but it is important to remember with coronavirus, unfortunately it is not as simple as administering medicine and you are cured. there is not currently vaccine or medical cure in that sense. so just currently vaccine or medical cure in that sense. sojust having bodies, be kind to others, offer food, pay attention and lookout for people — i think that could be quite meaningful, especially if health ca re meaningful, especially if health care officials can't get to work. because lots of times it will come down to monitoring people. the other important thing that we need to keep saying is that most people who get this virus will not be that ill and will not need to go to hospital, they'll need to stay at home for a bit then they'll feel better. that's been the case is right across the world. the problem is that people area bit world. the problem is that people are a bit more vulnerable, more elderly people might be affected a lot more seriously, and will be have the nhs capacity to help those people when they really need it? we hope there is no dire of the mutation of the virus. the guardian is focusing on food, supermarkets plan to feed the nations that the virus spreads. they say supermarkets would work to scale back the variety of foods available and focus on what we really need. tomorrow we will find out what the government's plans are in the case of the coronavirus spreading, but there also some questions about what the supermarkets will do. super markets are already speaking to suppliers about how they might change what they offer in order to supply the markets with —— populace with what they need. they would move away from offering the myriad of products that one could usually buy to moving towards stable products. it doesn't list what they are but we can suspect they'll be bread, pasta, rice, things that can sting you for a longer period of time. —— sustain you. they don't really feel you up, do they, jack? sadly not. it's not just about what government can do, but businesses and civil society can do. british supermarkets are already preparing. in terms of the budget, the guardian is saying the budget will be redrawn to focus on focusing on the impact of the coronavirus. that is something the financial times talks about. they are also talking about global growth. but again, because everything is so linked, wider economic growth is also day—to—day, how people will manage their paycheques. often when we talk about gdp, global growth, supply chains, we tune in and out. it doesn't seem to be something that affects us. it makes sense that now people are concerned about their health and the public health warnings, as they should be. but actually the way the economy goes, ina moment actually the way the economy goes, in a moment like this, if you potential habitat that a pandemic like this, eventually those supply chains have and it is notjust economic jargon, chains have and it is notjust economicjargon, it's how people get their medicine, how people get machines that make our lives go around. if the economy were to take around. if the economy were to take a downward turn and the supply chain we re a downward turn and the supply chain were to be cut off, there be acute been —— a human cost as well. when you hear them lowering their hmmfi you hear them lowering their forecast from 2.9% growth down to 2.496, forecast from 2.9% growth down to 2.4%, but even potentially 1.5%, taking a whole percentage off gdp, billions and billions of pounds, very meaningful. lots of people would be affected by that. very meaningful. lots of people would be affected by thatm very meaningful. lots of people would be affected by that. it can seem would be affected by that. it can seem abstract and it seems almost weird to talk about it when we talk about this virus and how he people might die. but they are talking about this being the worst impact of the global economy since the big crash in 2008. we are still living with the consequences of that crash 12 years later. we were talking earlier about how many peoples life expectancy has been affected because of the measures that were taken as a result of that. although it seems a bstra ct result of that. although it seems abstract at the moment, this could have very long term implications for people's lives. in practical terms, as well, the whole question is about whether you will be paid if you have to ta ke whether you will be paid if you have to take time off. you're obvious and caring for somebody, that's quite a big question. it is, and if you are asking people to self—isolate at home and not going to work, maybe when they're not sick so not officially off, do though she will get paid? there are otherjobs that you simply can't, lots of people definitely can't work from home. there's self employed people, what will happen to them if they are asked to self—isolate? will there be any support for them? because if there isn't and you don't feel very u nwell there isn't and you don't feel very unwell at all, people will not feel incentivized to stay at home. that's just going to encourage the spread of the disease. it is something the government is still grappling with and there's no clear answer. maybe we'll see something in the budget next week. is notjust we'll see something in the budget next week. is not just the we'll see something in the budget next week. is notjust the emergency service health care why, but it is things like the police. if children are at home and people can't get to work, all those major functions are at home and people can't get to work, all those majorfunctions that keep society going have to continue, even through peak moments. yes, they do. whether the government will announce more detail on that, i don't know if that will happen. the new chancellor was excited to launch his vision of britain, at least five years down the road. now it looks like it will be more of an emergency budget. there are major questions that you asked around sick pay that theyjust may that you asked around sick pay that they just may not that you asked around sick pay that theyjust may not be able to answer yet because there are so many different factors there, and the weight on government and business, who would pick up that tab? the incentives you create, major questions need to be answered, they may not have time to get to them by next week. but the budget appears to still be going ahead and i think coronavirus will really be at the top of the agenda, whereas a few weeks ago they may not have been considering it in any meaningful way. from a personal point of view, the new chancellor, a few weeks ago, was thejunior the new chancellor, a few weeks ago, was the junior treasury minister. he's not even a0 years old, he wasn't dreaming he'd be delivering this budget. suddenly he lands this job because ajit javid this budget. suddenly he lands this job because ajitjavid resigns on especially, now he's got a global crisis that he has to build —— saja javid. crisis that he has to build —— saja javid. goldman sachs used to shop it like that. let's look at the daily mail. the other really big political story this week on priti patel, a photograph of her with this new allegation. it's really interesting timing, isn't it? the government needs the civil service to do everything it can to rally on the coronavirus in every single apartment. yet it has is very high—profile battle. apartment. yet it has is very high-profile battle. nobody can plan the coronavirus, so we are where we are. it is certainly the case of the government will have to work with everyone. but certainly the civil service and many of the experienced people there, especially in the department of health but also across the board in the home office where priti patel is and where she's had these accusations of bullying will be crucial when we're talking about things like border control. notjust in terms of people coming in with the illness but also people wanting to leave and being humane and safe in the whole process. it is welcome of the government has launched an internal inquiry. i hope they take it seriously. previous accusations of bullying have not been taken as seriously. and it is in the home secretary's interest as much as it is in the civil service interest that we go through that in and above will —— above board way. that we go through that in and above will -- above board way. what did you make of the statement given it is the cabinet office that will be investigating her? i was surprised to see the head of the cabinet office rally such strongly behind priti patel, who of course as a friend and colleague of michael gove. but these are very serious accusations, it is supposed to be an independent —ish inquiry. so to come out so strongly in support of her when you don't know the facts, i was surprised, and lots of tory mps in the commons doing exactly the same thing even though they don't know what has happened. none of us know what has happened. none of us know what is happening, maybe she's not innocent. so to effectively prejudge it that way, i was surprised to see him do it so strongly. although people want to stick up for their mates, i guess. the other thing to say is it is notjust coronavirus this country is dealing with. there isa this country is dealing with. there is a massive seismic change happening when we leave the brexit transition period at the end of the year. nowhere more than the whole office will that be felt keep more keenly because we need an entirely new immigration system that needs to be up and running by the end of this year. that is apparently what priti patel first fell out with her senior officials about, but that still needs to happen. has she still got the confidence of her staff to be able to get that done? we just don't know. people can say the atmosphere inside the home office is toxic now. that's not great if you're trying to run an organisation delivering massive change. does she have to be moved ultimately? i think that depends on the findings of the inquiry and potentially a legal proceeding. i think it is in her interest as much as it is anybody else's because if she's found not guilty, she found not guilty. this isa guilty, she found not guilty. this is a country that would uphold that. we have dominic cummings‘s thoughts on the civil service, so it is maybe not fairjust to on the civil service, so it is maybe not fair just to blame on the civil service, so it is maybe not fairjust to blame one person, the hold attitude of this government towards these. there is a much larger story with number ten's relationship with the civil service. how you go about bringing those changes humanely and all up above board, i think we should actually separate that from accusations of bullying. that is a very specific story that has been levied against one minister. but let us not forget the home office itself, granted before priti patel came in, has not always had a great run when it comes to treating migrants and refugees in a fair way. you want people there who will act in the most humane way. so again, it is really important that we go through this process and come to a conclusion so everyone that we go through this process and come to a conclusion so everyone can have come to a conclusion so everyone can have faith come to a conclusion so everyone can have faith in the person running this office. squeezing in the financial times, hotel rooms cost more when booked on travel sites. if you want to get yourself a cheap hotel room, how do you find it?|j was surprised by this! apparently if you ring the hotel directly or e—mail them directly, you more likely to get a blood test good price then if you book it on the website which we know all now use booking hotels i thought the point of these websites was you were looking across the different options and when you are getting the best deal. but this finding is that they are driving up prices or holding prices up. i'm not terribly surprised. if you are willing to ta ke surprised. if you are willing to take the time to call or e—mail, you're getting a cheaper price, you are paying that more expensive fee in orderto are paying that more expensive fee in order to move faster. when you are self isolating, caitlin... loads of time. laughter. lovely to see you both, thanks very much. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven days a week, at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, kate and jack. goodbye. good evening, i'm katie shanahan, here's your latest sports news. we'll get to the latest developments on how the coronavius is affecting sport around the globe in a minute. but first, to the fa cup — as it's fifth round week with eight ties taking place over the next four days. and tonight's match ended with the arsenal fans celebrating at full time after they beat portmouth by 2—0 to become this year's first team into the quarterfinals. craig templeton has all the details. this park has a relate two repetitions of one of the best parts in english. —— reputation. ports with would need it if they had were to manage something that not mentor since 1958, win against arsenal. they would also need a bit of bite, no foul given for this. lucas's game was over before it began. pompey had begun to feel the way into the game. the look on gareth evan's face shows you he should have done better. premier league quality will help eventually show through. reese nelson's cross was good, 1—0. this time it was eddie with the finish. is forced it in, arsenal have the comfort of a second goal! that's his third goal in his last full. sachar couldn't find the back of the net. two goals would be all they need. a comfortable night for arsenal as they look for a 1ath fa cup title. craig templeton, bbc news. meanwhile, in the only championship game of the night, nottingham forest snatched a late equaliser to level it 2—2 against middlesbrough. boro had come from behind to lead 2—1 at the riverside stadium, thanks to goals from rudyjeestead and lewis wing. but lewis grabban's equaliser means middlesbrough stay in the relegation zone. as for forest, they remain fourth in the table. meanwhile, doubt has been cast over whether the six nations would continue this weekend. after ireland against italy was postponed, officials decided earlier today that the other two matches this weekend, england against wales and scotland v france, will go ahead as planned. our sports correspondent alex capstick was in paris, where world rugby held their meeting. here at the headquarters, the team have been practising ahead of their game against scotland over the weekend in edinburgh where they hope to reserve their unbeaten record in this year's tournament. a statement released earlier today says as it stands, that match will go ahead as planned. members of the six nations council have been meeting here in paris to discuss the ramifications of the coronavirus crisis. they will take advice from health experts and from governments. borisjohnson has had a meeting in london today in which he said the expected the disease to spread but they had a plan in which more details will be revealed in the next days and weeks. there still is a decision to make on what to do about the postponed match between italy and ireland in dublin. so far, that's the only game to be called off and this year's competition, but of course that could change. anthony joshua has announced that his next fight will not be the all british heavyweight showdown against tyson fury. but instead, against his mandatory ibf challenger, kubrat pulev. it will be on 20 june at the tottenham hotspur stadium. this will be the first fight since regaining his three heavyweight belts from andy ruinunior in december. the two men were due to fight back in 2017. but pulev pulled out with injury. pulev is the former european champion, has only lost once in 29 fights. defending champions australia beat new zeland in melbourne to reach the semi—finals of the t20 world cup. —— new zealand. the hosts won by four runs to join england, india and south africa in the finalfour. they will find out their semifinal opponents on tuesday. that's all the sport. bye for now. hello. i know there is still significant flooding out there, but isn't it great to get away from february's relentless grey? and of course, wet and see something brighter and bluer in the skies. many of us did during monday, there were still some big showers around, no one has suggested this week was dry. but at least there is some for now texture in the skies, things turned a little bit quieter. and during the day ahead, there will be some sunshine again. many of us at some stage of the day, but also some showers again too. a few weather disturbances moving through the uk on tuesday. we are eyeing up this area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic, another spell of rain for many of us, i'm afraid, wednesday into thursday. our tuesday starts cold and frosty out there, it will be a few icy patches possibly, where you've had some showers. one area of showers early on will be clearing on from northeast england down to eastern scotland, so here that goes. another area of showers that will pull away from northern ireland and wales. but this has to then go across scotland, east across england. showers could be heavy, maybe some hail, wintry in the hills. behind it, the sun comes back, a lot of that for northern ireland in the afternoon, and increasingly so through wales and western parts of england. quite blustery with the showers, nowhere near as windy as it's been. some of the sea temperatures in double figures, most of us will not. light winds and clear skies on tuesday night, a recipe for widespread frost out there. drop in temperatures delayed or abbreviated by this area of cloud and rain heading in towards south west england and southwest wales. here temperatures have managed to recover a bit later in the night. that rain is from that area of low pressure i showed you. some uncertainty about half a bar north, the wet weather will get on wednesday but every new forecast says it's further north, meaning another spell of rain pushing across much of england and wales during the day towards northern ireland, perhaps even southern scotland. temperatures pretty much where they will be throughout the week. maybe some hills snow out of this, as well, and into the pennines, overnight into thursday, england and wales see further rain at times, which gradually clears away on thursday from the east and southeast of england. behind it, brightening up. a gap in weather systems — i say i gap because here comes another band of rain that will move through on friday. taking a look at the forecast into the weekend, we will see another spell of rain. it will be windier and milder, there won't be as much of that sunshine. welcome to newsday. i am mariko oi. i'm in singapore. the headlines. the world is in ‘unchartered terrotory‘ say health chiefs as the number of deaths from coronavirus passes three thousand.
