Trains operated by the operator of last resort. We want a better life for our families, thats why we cross. Making it across the border. As europe faces a fresh migrant crisis, we have a special report from greece. Three in a row for Manchester City. Pep guardiolas men see off aston villa to win the league cup for the third successive year. After the wettest february on record, march is a starting off on a quieter note. Still showers around but not the relentless heavy rains and strong winds we have seen recently. I will keep you up to date. Its monday, march 2nd. Our top story. The Prime Minister will chair his first meeting of the governments Emergency Cobra Committee this morning, as the number of cases of coronavirus in the uk rises to 36. 13 of those were diagnosed yesterday the biggestjump in a single day. 0vernight, the United States reported its second death. More than 3,000 people are now known to have died worldwide. Andy moore has the latest. Ahead of chairing a cobra emergency meeting, borisjohnson went to visit the Health Professionals in the front line of the fight against coronavirus. At the laboratories of Public Health england in london, he expressed every confidence in the people around him. Coronavirus is a concern. It is a novel illness, but its something that this country really amply has the resources to deal with. We have state of the art testing facilities, we have a fantastic nhs. We will have to get through this, but believe me, we are going to beat it. The jump in cases announced yesterday includes a family cluster of three adults related to a man in hazlemere, who was confirmed as testing positive on friday. Its still not known how he got the virus. There are now 36 confirmed infections across the uk, with the first case in scotland, on tayside, announced yesterday evening. This is a serious situation, but we have well established procedures in place and theres no need for the public to be unduly concerned. But the public can help, because we are still very firmly in the containment phases of this infection. Last night, some of the first britons released from several days in the usa in washington state, a nursing home is still under lockdown amid fears dozens might have the virus. Local scientist thought he thought the true number of infections could run into their 100 is because the virus had been running undetected for many weeks. And at the source of the infection in china, the daily toll of new infections continues to fall. But, with another 42 fatalities, the global death toll from covid 19 has now passed 3,000. Andy moore, bbc news. In a moment well get an update on the british holiday makers staying at a quarantined hotel in tenerife from our correspondent, fiona trott. But first, lets get more now on the governments response from our Political Correspondent, chris mason, who is in downing street for us. Good morning. This is number one priority at the moment, is it . Good morning. This is number one priority at the moment, is mm is, yes. Its really striking seeing the language that is being used within government ahead of this cobra emergency contingency meeting being chaired by the Prime Minister this morning, it gives you some sense of the scale of the concern there is now within government. They say this meeting this morning is about coordinating their battle plan, as they describe it, to put in place the necessary countermeasures to deal with coronavirus and try and contain its spread. They emphasised that containment is the state they are at now, they talk about the need for the government to do all they can but is well individuals, in terms of self isolating if you have symptoms if you have spoken to nhs 111 , symptoms if you have spoken to nhs 111, and basic things like washing hands to minimise the likelihood of spread of infection. When you hear the language they use, you get a sense of the scale of the concern, there is an open acknowledgement in government that there will be more cases within the uk and the they are not willing to rule out any potential contingency measure in the coming weeks and months. They are at the moment to say that schools should remain open, sporting fixtures would go ahead but they are willing to look at that again if postponing or cancelling them if it might be necessary. This is a new virus, so we as individuals dont have the capacity to deal with it evenifin have the capacity to deal with it even if in most cases, people only have mild symptoms. Thank you. Lets speak now to fiona trott, who is outside the quarantined hotel in tenerife. Whats happening there . It has been a logistical challenge over the past day or so but it looks as though some of these british guests are on their way home. It a logistical challenge because of communication on the ground. Said that passengers could fly if they had the covid 19 test and it was negative. And they showed no symptoms at the airport. It had to be within a 24 hour window. But some guests said they did not get results until 22 hours later, another said they did not get it at all. The Foreign Office said, we have experienced some confusion and we are sorry for that, we are in regular contact with hotel staff and the spanish authorities to clarify the spanish authorities to clarify the situation. The result should be communicated within three to 12 hours, it appears as though that is not happening in some cases. Around 25 british guests left the hotel last night, more are on their way this afternoon. The Holiday Company jet2 said, we are pleased to confirm that gas could fly back if they test negative for covid 19. Guests could fly back. But when they get back to the uk they still have to self isolate for another week. To find out more about coronavirus, you can watch a bbc news special tonight on bbc one. Rachel burden and fergus walsh will be answering your questions in coronavirus everything you need to know. Thats tonight at 7. 30pm on bbc one. The first round of trade talks between the uk and the European Union are due to start today. A team of 1000 negotiators, led by the Prime Ministers europe adviser david frost, are travelling to brussels for an initial four days of talks. Its expected co operation on security and transport will also be discussed. A man thought to be a frontrunner to contest donald trump in the upcoming president ial elections, has announced hes to end his bid for the white house. The former indiana mayor, Pete Buttigieg, was the first openly gay candidate to run a major president ial campaign. Hed enjoyed a meteoric rise from virtual unknown to a leading contender for the democratic partys nomination, but his support had waned in recent weeks. After a year of going everywhere, meeting everyone, defying every expectation, seeking every vote, the truth is that the path has narrowed to a close, for our candidacy, if not for our cause. Imagine finding out a gift from an old friend is worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. I have a you one, im sorry i have not brought you one, im sorry. Well, heres the moment that happened for session musician, ray. I wouldnt be surprised if it made between £300,000£400,000. Ray had been given the rare guitar by George Harrison in the 1980s, after the two recorded together. Before becoming part of harrisons collection, the instrument had been made specially for another member of the fab four, john lennon. Ray said he still plays it regularly and had never given much thought to its value. Would you stop playing it . |j would you stop playing it . I think so, dont you . That is a whole lot of dosh. What a lovely gift. Welcome back, by the way. Thanks so much. Im so excited to be here, genuinely. I can tell from your face this morning, the trip is a lot more daunting than you expected. This morning, the trip is a lot more daunting than you expectedlj this morning, the trip is a lot more daunting than you expected. I knew it was going to be tough but it was out there but also utterly brilliant. You know me, i enjoy really difficult things, but it was really difficult things, but it was really far past difficult louise has been raising money for sport relief with a number of others in libya. Got a little bit of sunburn. Its not sunburn, it was 43 degrees in the shade, we were expecting it to be 35. All i can tell you was, its like being in a furnace and then you got the hairdryer treatment, you think the breeze would be cold and it was hotter. It was quite intimidating because you breathe in and dont feel that the air is doing any good. This is a heat rash that i got, a bit there andi heat rash that i got, a bit there and i had it all the way along my legs. Lots to see this documentary, i thoroughly recommend it. Every Single Person who was there cried, including me. Like breakfast every morning hopefully they dont show that bit i bet they do. Frankie bridge found me in my tent curled up ina bridge found me in my tent curled up in a fatal position weeping. Bridge found me in my tent curled up in a fatal position weepinglj bridge found me in my tent curled up in a fatal position weeping. I bet she helped. She treated me like i was a four year old and put me back together. You grow some very strong friendships and things like that happen. Sport of another kind and a trophy for Manchester City. Lots of people in manchester calling it the etihad south. Goals from Sergio Aguero and rodri were enough to help them beat aston villa in the final at wembley. City have now won the competition three seasons in a row. Wolves march towards a possible Champions League spot continues as they go sixth in the premier league after a 3 2 victory at spurs. Rauljimenez scored the winner. The organisers of the six nations will meet later to discuss plans for the rest of the tournament over fears about the coronavirus. Ireland against italy has already been called off, but more of the tournment could be impacted. And Elinor Barker won britains only gold medal in the womens points race at the track cycling World Championships. The gold means that gb come away with four medals, matching their total from last year. Congratulations to her, but sadly, thatis congratulations to her, but sadly, that is not an event which is open to herfor the that is not an event which is open to her for the olympics. Thank you, see you later. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning. After the wettest february on record, we are now starting march on a bit of a quieter note. A bit of a respite through this week, we have still got a lot of flooding out there at the moment but slightly dry air, sunshine and showers, not as windy as it has been, but things are feeling quite chilly out there and we have some frosty nights in the forecast. Temperatures out there at the moment a little bit below freezing in one 01 a little bit below freezing in one or two spots, for scotland, Northern Ireland and northern england. England and wales, most of us freezing or above with more cloud around. 0vernight, quite a bit of cloud and outbreaks of rain across southern and south eastern england, a bit of sleepiness on the Northern Edge and some wintry showers packing in from the north west. Today we will fairly quickly lose cloud and rain from the south east, that should clear away by the middle of the morning. Plenty of showers in scotland, wintry over the hills. Quite breezy for western parts of scotland, dryer towards the east. Showers affecting Northern Ireland. The south and east, largelyjar into the afternoon. Blue sky, seven to 10 degrees. Largely dry into the afternoon. But as windy as it has been but a bit of a breeze from the north west taking the edge of the temperature. Into the evening, most places dry and clear, more showers moving in from the west and for parts of scotland and Northern Ireland overnight, heavy and persistent. Snow over the highest ground and icy stretches first thing tuesday. A widespread frost, a chilly start to the day tomorrow. Looking at tuesday, still an area of low pressure to the north of scotland, showers continuing to rotate around that. Also add to the south west but it looks like that should stay towards the south west. Quite a bit of wet weather, the line of showers working west to east. Not many reaching eastern england, mostly dry hair. Sunny spells by the afternoon and temperatures and nudge above 80 degrees. Wintry showers over the highest ground in scotland. Thursday looking mostly dry, sunshine on wednesday as well, a few showers, northern and North Western parts affected. Drier and less windy weather than we have seen recently. Not completely dry, thursday into friday, a weather front shifting eastwards and another one lurking out here in the atlantic, so this weekend we could see a little bit more wet weather but not expecting another named storm. So most of us will be quite pleased to see a respite this week in the weather. Half lets take a look at todays papers. The Daily Telegraph leads on the coronavirus outbreak, and Prime Minister borisjohnsons warning that the situation could get worse before it gets better. It has a picture of mrjohnson visiting a Public Health England Laboratory in london yesterday. The mail also reports on coronavirus, and the Health Officials who are trying to find people who may be spreading the virus unwittingly. It also has a picture of borisjohnson along with his fiancee carrie symonds. They announced over the weekend that they are engaged, and expecting a baby. The guardian has the same story on its front page, along with a striking image of migrants trying to cross from turkey into greece many of them wearing surgical masks. And online overnight there was plenty of interest in the first match played by inter miami, the club which David Beckham has set up in the mls. As the miami herald reports, they lost 1 0 to los angeles. Are you up to speed with everything after being in the desert for the week . I am playing catch up. Listening to you and hearing snippets of the news was important, particularly standing there while carroll was talking about a snow and floods. And john maguire. It was nice to hear you. Those few minutes every day. One day we were a bit worried. You are very up on they want. And then on day two it was very hard. If you listen for a change in town it was quite significant. We are glad to have your back. Well done. I look forward to the documentary. Ive got a story in the Daily Telegraph this morning about the six nations. The new tv deal could go to sky sports. This has been widely reported. Basically, by has been widely reported. Basically, rugby is at that point now where they have to make a decision, the people who rule rugby, have to make a decision about where the next lot of six nations matches are going to go. There is a strong suggestion it will go behind a pay wall a year from now. An interesting column from brian moore, who is open and honest about why its important that it doesnt. He says rugby is not like football, it is a minority sport which needs money and exposure, even to standstill. We have seen what has happened with cricket. When latvia we nt happened with cricket. When latvia went behind a pay wall. A lot of debate about whether that is the right thing or whether there is some way of keeping it on terrestrial television. We know the bbc and itv will not be allowed to share it again. They are not allowed to do the double big thing. It is worrying for a number of sport in the future. Sky do a fantasticjob in their coverage of sport. But when you see the number of people who watch the six nations matches, millions of people out it is exposure. Then you see kids throwing a rugby ball in the park and try to copy what they see. That is what it is about. Getting the kids to play. Shall we talk about marriage proposals . Sheryl sandberg says she and her partner, she says more women should organise their own marriage proposals. She and her partner have planned the moment in detail. They have chosen the ring. No surprise. Tell us what you think. They have picked the ring together. Going away together. Its very interesting. Also interesting in the same interview, she rejected her new portrayal in a new book about facebook, arguing that women were described as too ruthless in the workplace simply for raising their voices. I think she makes a very interesting point. Too ruthless . Yeah. She says she raises her voice and therefore it is labelled as being ruthless. With the same happened for a man . Lets think about that at this morning. I think shes very interesting and writes some very interesting things. Im not sure. 0ne some very interesting things. Im not sure. One person could do it and the other person could do it. Not sure. One person could do it and the other person could do itm doesnt matter who does it. Should it bea doesnt matter who does it. Should it be a surprise . I went to a wedding last year, very romantic. The groom had been to derbyshire when he was younger, find a lovely stone and put his initials on the stone. He had hidden it. When the woman he found he wanted to marry went back, she found she put her initials on it. Many years later they spent ages looking for the stone, founded. He gave it to her on the wedding day. That is very romantic. Lucky he could find it. I was expecting this giant stone still very impressive. Ive got one about this guy who built his own house looking at youtube tutorials. He bought this bungalow years ago. It has taken him ten years to do it. He started reading diy books. This is graham harley. He was not a builder. He worked in it. No building experience. By following all these, he built this Beautiful House which is now worth £450,000, with two outhouses. Have you ever tried to watch diy things on youtube . I love diy programmes. I lose concentration after about 20 seconds. Do you do some diy . No, of course not thats why i had to look it up on youtube. That is how i got to the finals of masterchef, watching youtube, not cooking any way. Very useful tool. You should do an article about that, louise. Thank you very much. Greece says its stopped nearly 10,000 migrants crossing the border into the eu from turkey over the weekend. Turkey says it cannot deal with the amount of people fleeing syrias war. Now greek officials have announced theyll block any new asylum applications and turn Illegal Immigrants away. But, asjonah fisher reports, some people have managed to cross the border. The route overland to europe has been given new life by turkeys president. This road runs very close to the border between greece and turkey. There are a couple of official crossing points which are now closed and heavily protected, but there are, weve been told, plenty of other places along this stretch where people can get through. As the icy rain falls, we come across a family group from afghanistan. Pawns in a geopolitical crisis and now shivering and alone. They tell us they had been bussed up to the border by the turkish authorities. And then crossed into greece by cutting the barbed wire on the borderfence. Further down the road we find a group of west africans. They say they walked along a dirt track to get here, evading tear gas and border guards. We want to go to germany. We dont want to stay here in greece. You understand . We want a better life for us, for ourfamilies, thats why we cross. As the clock approached midnight, we came across four young migrants from the middle east. You guys have come from iraq and you have come from syria . As we started to talk, men with their faces covered and no insignia, arrived. Please. The migrants were put in the back of a van which had no number plates. Excuse me, where do they get it taken now . To the border station. And what will happen to them . Iam nota sergeant, 0k . I am not an officer, 0k . Im not a sergeant, 0k . 0k. Greece says fewer than 200 migrants have managed to get through since friday, and theyve all been detained. At one of the closed border crossings we caught up with the defence minister. We saw people being taken away in a vehicle yesterday without number plates, and men with their faces covered. Is that normal procedure here . In my mind normal procedure for one country is to guard and secure its borders. Thats all i have to say. But they are getting through the fence. Ahmed is one of the few migrants we have met we met who came from syria. I dont money, i dont water, i dont food. I dont everything. The number of migrants crossing is still small, but the door to europe is far from closed. Its now very, very tight. Very tight. Jonah fisher, bbc news in northern greece. Very powerful. Jonah fisherjoins us now from the greek Turkish Border. Can you tell us a little bit about the relation is now between turkey and the eu . Is ita the relation is now between turkey and the eu . Is it a strained relationship . Yeah, extremely strained. What is effectively happening here is that the turkey is using the migrants, in fact it has got a very large refugee population on its soil in camps, as a bargaining chip, leveraged with the European Union, effectively saying that if the European Union doesnt give it more support in relation to syria and the attacks on idlib, where another massive influx of refugees, potentially, could come into turkey, that they will allow, encourage, push even, more of these migrants, more of these refugees who are in turkey, towards the border with greece and the border with the European Union. 0bviously with greece and the border with the European Union. Obviously there are some people crossing already, as you saw in the report, but there is the threat thereof many more that could potentially as well. What has been the reaction in greece to the new arrivals there . Well, we are up in the border area. Over the last day or two, we have been seeing those people come across, not particularly welcomed by the local community. Yesterday evening we had the announcement by the greek government that it would no longer process the asylu m that it would no longer process the asylum claims of anyone who had come here across the border trying to seek asylum. Normally if someone manages to get into greece and they get picked up by the authorities, they are effectively held here while their claim is assessed and it is looked at whether they have the right to stay and get some sort of status in the European Union. That is no longer the case. Greece has suspended that for the next month because of the seriousness of the situation. It says anyone it picks up situation. It says anyone it picks up will not be looked at and simply sent back to where they came from, which is almost certainly turkey. Very interesting to hear from you. Thank you very much. Jonah fisher on the greek Turkish Border live on brea kfast. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. Still to come this morning, well hear from paralympian, and star of strictly will bayley, on recovering from injury and setting his sights on this summers games in tokyo. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im sonja jessup. From today, a speed limit of 20 mphs being intoduced on many roads in central london, to try to cut the number of deaths. It applies to all routes managed by transport for london within the congestion charging zone, including the albert embankment, millbank and blackfriars road. Critics say it wont make any difference, because traffic is already moving so slowly. The mayors due to meet with Health Officials and other authorities later, to discuss how prepared the capital is to respond to the coronavirus. The meeting at city hall will also involve the met police commissioner, transport for london and local councils. Sadiq khan says the risk to individuals from the virus is still low, but he wants to make sure they have the latest advice. Meanwhile, a school in reading will remain closed for the next few days after one of its staff tested positive for coronavirus. Willowbank infant school in woodley says its on advice from Public Health england and a deep clean will be carried out. Thejunior school will, however, remain open. The inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire resumes this morning after being on hold for several weeks. Witnesses have been given a guarantee that oral evidence they provide will not be used in any furture prosecution against them. It had been feared without that assurance many would stay silent. Airport staff who locate lost baggage at heathrow, have started a week long strike. Its a dispute over pay, with two further walk outs planned later this month. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Lets start with a look at the tube, and that looks good actually. No reported problems on any of those lines so far there. And on the roads at the moment, its mostly works slowing things down. This is holborn, where bloomsbury street is closed outside the shaftesbury theatre. Itll stay that way till the end of april. In chelsea, chayne walk is closed eastbound from edith grove to chelsea embankment. And in mitcham, london road remains closed for another two weeks for work to the bridge. Over to the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. We have a little bit of respite this week or at least for the next few days, with some more settled conditions. Some sunshine eventually today, we start the day with a bit of cloud and some rain. This rain, Higher Ground especially, you might get a bit of sleet mixed in there but as you can see, it sweeps away fairly quickly. The wind is light today, plenty of sunshine, variable amounts of cloud. The risk of an isolated shower but largely dry and temperatures between eight and 10 celsius. Now, were still at risk of one or two showers overnight but again they will be isolated, few and far between. Largely dry, largely clear and again, the wind reasonably high is a minimum temperature, down towards 0 celsius so the chances are we mightjust get a bit of frost first thing tomorrow morning. Some sunshine around, though, for tuesday, similar conditions to today, just the risk of an isolated shower. Temperatures where they should be for early march, around nine or 10 celsius. It is going to, however, to more unsettled towards the end of the week and again into the weekend. Thats all from me for now, im back in around half an hour. Now ill hand you back to louise and dan. Bye bye. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Well bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. But also on breakfast this morning, well go undercover to expose the indian call centres scamming thousands of people here in the uk out of their hard earned cash.

Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. More than 3000 people around the world are now known to have died from the coronavirus outbreak. It comes as the Prime Minister prepares to chair his first meeting of the governments Emergency Cobra Committee this morning. Yesterday saw the biggest dailyjump of cases diagnosed in the uk. 36 people are now infected. A Primary School in gloucestershire has confirmed one of its Staff Members has tested positive for coronavirus, after recently returning from a holiday to italy. St marys school in tetbury has been undergoing deep cleaning. Lets get the latest now from sally challoner, who is outside the school for us this morning. Sally, what more do we know . As you say, St Marys School in tetbury is closed for at least two days, the head teacher says, after a member of staff was found to have the coronavirus. They had been to northern italy, it wasnt a school trip, this was during half term. A friend of theirs who also went on holiday has also been confirmed as having the virus. In berkshire, willowbank infant school has also been closed, because a member of staff there has contracted the virus as well. They had been away, not a school trip. A Second School has been closed as a precaution because that member of staff had been there ona training that member of staff had been there on a training day. All three schools, the head teachers have sent out letters to parents explaining the situation. 0bvious risks, of course, with a Primary School, lots of little children playing closely together in a fairly confined space. Having said which, the risks are still low according to Public Health england. They are getting in touch with anyone whos been in contact with anyone whos been in contact with those in the country who have had the virus, 35 people altogether. This group beat scrupulously clea n, this group beat scrupulously clean, wash your hands, and if you are using a hand gel, get one which is alcohol base because antibacterial will not get rid of the virus. The first round of trade talks between the uk and the European Union are due to start today. A team of 100 negotiators, led by the Prime Ministers europe adviser david frost, are travelling to brussels for an initial four days of talks. Its expected co operation on security and transport will also be discussed. A man thought to be a front runner to contest donald trump in the upcoming president ial elections, has announced hes to end his bid for the white house. The former indiana mayor, Pete Buttigieg, was the first openly gay candidate to run a major president ial campaign. Hed enjoyed a meteoric rise from virtual unknown to a leading contender for the democratic partys nomination, but his support had waned in recent weeks. Do you want some dog knows news . Definitely scientists believe they have discovered the reason why dogs have such cold, wet noses. Its so they can function as heat detectors. A study published in the scientific reports journal says the tip of a dogs snout can detect the warmth of a small mammal from around five feet away but it must be kept cool to work properly. Vampire bats and pit vipers have the same skill. Did you know that . I did not know that and im not sure i will remember that. But doubtless he will render that for 25 years. Remember that. That is your nose of a dog news. That has piqued your interest, that news. Anything to do with a cute dog. Manchester city have won the league cup for the third year in a row after beating aston villa 2 1 at wembley. Goals from Sergio Aguero and rodri were enough to seal victory for pep guardiolas side. Natalie pirks has this report. League cup final day or groundhog day . These are scenes of glory now oh so familiar for Manchester City fans. It had been 24 years since opponents aston villa had won this trophy, but despite a strong start, their nemesis was about to send city on their way. Aguero and then it would get worse. Soft defending from a corner doubled their pain. Headed in cheaply by rodri. Dean smith was furious that it should have been a goal kick. In truth his teams defending was the biggest issue. Just as a sense of inevitability crept in, it was citys turn to slip. Stones with the stumble, samatta with the strength. Game on. Villa were hanging in there and with time trickling away, engels came mere millimetres from achieving legendary status. The final whistle brought heartbreak for plucky villa, business as usual for guardiola. Such is citys dominance at wembley, they might as well set up camp in the home dressing room. This was their ninth win in a row here. But villa can leave with their heads held high. Premier League Survival a more pressing matter. Natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. In the premier league, everton and Manchester United shared the points after a bad tempered match. Dominic Calvert Lewin scored early on for everton after a david de gea error, but Bruno Fernandes equalised. England keeperjordan pickford probably should have done better. But the real drama came in injury time when Calvert Lewins goal was ruled out as gylfri sigurdsson was offside and disrupting play. Carlos ancelotti was sent off after the final whistle for his protests. Elsewhere, wolves beat spurs in a five goal thriller. Rauljimenez was the man with the winner, sending wolves up to sixth in the league. Celtic have continued their pursuit of a fourth consecutive domestic treble, after beating stjohnstone in the scottish cup quarter finals. A late Ryan Christie free kick was enough to send celtic through to the semi finals where they will face aberdeen. The other semi final will be an Edinburgh Derby between hearts and hibernian. The organisers of the six nations are meeting later today, to discuss plans for the remainder of the tournament as more sporting events have fallen victim to the spread of the coronavirus. Irelands match against italy in dublin scheduled for this weekend has already been called off, while there are stills doubts over some of the other matches, including englands visit to rome on the final weekend. Meanwhile, in italy, visiting fans from atalanta, based in northern italy, were tested for symptoms of the coronavirus on their way in to their teams game with lecce. 0nly five serie a games were played this weekend because of the outbreak. And the opening motogp race in qatar has been cancelled because of the virus. Qatar travel restrictions being brought into force that affect passengers from italy, amongst other countries have led to the cancellation. Great britain finished the track cycling World Championships with four medals, equaling their total from last year. It took until the final day to get their first gold though. That came through Elinor Barker, who finished first in the womens points race. Barker later said that she feels pretty close to the form of her life going into tokyo 2020. This is going to make you cross. Im already angry about this. Tommy fleetwood missed out on victory at the honda classic. He needed birdie to force a playoff when this happened. Get in the hole that is headed way right and disaster for fleetwood. In his backswing it was the shouting, before he connected with the ball. Is it overenthusiasm . I dont know, loutish. A bit of that as well. Too much sugary tea . People shout at the gulf, people shout mashed potato, but he is at the top of his backswing. When hes there, the big shot, he gets right, he wins the big shot, he gets right, he wins the tournament, he put it in the water and he misses out completely. Its bad manners, thats what it is. And finally, if we just go back to our top story for a moment. When Manchester City are winning football matches, Noel Gallagher is never far away. I dont believe that anybody feels the way i do about you now. And all the roads we have to walk are winding. Knol isnt singing that much. Maybe he doesnt know the words any more i dont think he performs it any more. They are clearly loving that in the dressing room, some more than others. A good way to celebrate. Perfect, get a rock star in the dressing room, singalong, bit of karaoke paralympian will bayley proved a hit on the latest series of strictly come dancing, but his time on the show was cut short after he injured himself in rehearsals. Its been a long recovery, but now the table tennis champion has his sights on his fourth Paralympic Games in tokyo this summer. Kate grey caught up with him for a chat. Dancing contemporary for their couples choice, will bayley and janette manrara. From Paralympic Champion to strictly star, will bayley wowed on the dance floor during his time on the show last year. But his strictly come dancing journey came to an abrupt end when he injured his knee during a dress rehearsal. Hello, you all right . Now all the glitz and glam has settled, i wanted to find out more about what happened. When i landed, ijust felt excruciating pain. I kind of likejust laid there and screamed a little bit and then went up to the physio room. We just went for a scan and then the next day said what had happened and it was just a bit shocking. It still hasnt really sunk in because when you get an injury like that, its not good. I dont regret it because it was such a great experience and its such a massive show. I didnt realise how big it was, i dont think, until i came out of it and i went into the Shopping Centres and everything, and i had so much support from everyone, it was just amazing. So with just six months ago until the start of the Paralympic Games, time is running out time is running out for will who is yet to be in training with his british team mates at the moment as he is going through rehab. But hes still very confident that he will be on that plane to tokyo. On my day, im the best player in the world. What will be will be. I really believe in myself and i think thats a massive part of it. If you believe you can win, on a months training, or two months training, or three months training, youve got half a chance. If you write yourself off, then youve got no chance. So im not going to write myself off. Thanks to some strong performances last year, will has gained enough ranking points to all but confirm his paralympic qualification and still has every hope of getting back on the podium. People have been saying its impossible probably, but i believe its possible. It would be my biggest achievement if i could bring back a medal from tokyo, definitely. And you wouldnt bet against a player with his determination. Kate gray, bbc news, sheffield. Its lovely to see him again and very good luck to him. Glad that injuries clearing up and he has his sights firmly set on the Paralympic Games. Looks like it might be frosty. Good morning. Yes, a bit of frost outside but after the seemingly endless stream of stones we have had, it is a bit quieter this week. Stream of storms. Not as many as it has been, feeling chilly with frosty night in the forecast. Temperatures out there this morning, not far off freezing for many of us, further south it is milder because we have had some cloud and outbreaks of rain overnight. It has been raining over the south east for the past few hours, some wintry showers moving in from the north west affecting parts of Northern Ireland and scotland as well. That will stick around today so more of those showers, quite heavy over western scotland, showers into Northern Ireland, one or two to the north west of england. 0nce ireland, one or two to the north west of england. Once that clears away to the south east, it is looking mostly dry for much of england up to eastern scotland, wales, one or two rogue showers. Temperatures seven to 10 degrees for most of us. A bit of winter chill out there but not as windy as it has been recently. This evening and overnight, low pressure to the north of scotla nd overnight, low pressure to the north of scotland so plenty of showers packing in once again across scotla nd packing in once again across scotland and Northern Ireland. Quite heavy, could be a bit of lightning mixing and snow over Higher Ground. Rain at lower levels. Clearer skies in the south, so a chilly start on tuesday morning, a touch of frost and some icy stretches. Flood warnings are still in force but they are starting to reduce. Low pressure to the north of scotland so more showers driving around that as we head into tuesday. The best of any dry weather will be across southern and south eastern part of the uk. The north west, showers will be packing in, working west to east, this line should be fizzling out as it moves across england on tuesday. Sunny spells by the afternoon, more wintry showers in the far north west. Temperatures are degree also up on today. Eight to 10 degrees. A bit of blue sky out there. That is the picture to the middle of the week. Wednesday and thursday, dry weather with sunshine, a few showers in the north and west as well. Not completely dry as we look towards the end of the week, thursday night into friday, a weather front moves through, fairly wea k weather front moves through, fairly weak but a little bit more rain. Not as windy as it has been but looking towards the coming weekend, the potential for some wetter and windier weather. It does not look quite as bad as we have had recently and it will be through the week many of the country having dry weather. This way i was looking that way. Sorry, i couldnt see you looking that way. It is quarter to seven. Good morning. The troubled Northern Rail franchise is in the hands of a new operator this morning, after being taken over by the government at the weekend. So what changes can we expect . Danni hewson is at Manchester Victoria station for us now. Good morning. Good morning. There is an airof good morning. Good morning. There is an air of anticipation here at Manchester Victoria and indeed right across the northern network. That is because as of last night the government has been in control here. Grant shapps, the transport secretary, has said there is no magic wand. He cantjust secretary, has said there is no magic wand. He cant just wave secretary, has said there is no magic wand. He cantjust wave it and make everything right. However, people believe that at least things are changing. Lets look back at exactly how we got here. May 2018, we have the new timetable. After that there was chaos. We had disruptions, delays, cancellations, the hashtag northern fail seemed to be trending on social media all the time. The German Company operating the trains, Arriva Rail North and, blame beyond their control. But in january the government said enough was enough and decided it was going to be, the operator of last resort. This is a hugely complex network. You have got around 3000 Services Operating by northern every week. Over 100 million passengers every year. So exactly what is going to change . Year. So exactly what is going to change . Staff will stay year. So exactly what is going to change . Staff will stay the same. The people of the top comedy man at the top, has now gone. But we are being promised that there will be some improvement pretty quickly. Things like a deep clean of trains, more electric trains in place, some Better Technology to reduce overcrowding and the opening of 30 longer platforms. The government has also said they are going to be working closely with political leaders here in the north and also passenger groups, to try and make sure that they make the improvements that people really want to see. And they promised they are going to report back in 100 days on the progress. But in terms of passengers, i have been talking to a few of them this morning. Many say it is going to take a lot longer than 100 days. The train is very disappointing now. Most of the trains are cancelled, especially when the weather is a bit bad. It really affects people. Yeah, people who are going to work, you know. Something has to be done. They are always late, overcrowded, never on time. Make it more accessible, more lines. It is probably going to ta ke yea rs more lines. It is probably going to take years to sort it out. There are good days and bad days. It is not just the operator. There are lots of things associated with that as well. The new rolling stocks. Network row need to do more on the infrastructure. Network rail. Lets talk to tony miles from modern railways magazine. Just listening to people there, they are talking about potentially a year to two years before we see any real meaningful improvements. Are they right . They probably are, yes. Things like changing the timetable, crucial to Getting Services back on track, the earliest is probably december and even that is quite ambitious. That is going to take some time. Looking at the whole service pattern, it will take some time and bringing in the extra trains. Some are being used still by other companies. They wont come to the north until that company has finished using them. Some of the plans they are talking about, the quick fixes, they were already in the pipeline, those 30 longer platforms were begun by the previous operator . Yes, areva have a few things in place already, the platform lengthening, discussing how timetables need to be changed. The government is making a very clever move because it is building on the work already started. Had it awarded the contract to areva trains, exactly the same thing would have been done. In terms of progress within100 days, we could see some changes . We will see a report in 100 days. They wont do anything in the first 100 days, other than cleaning and talking to staff and getting them feeling confident and loved again and part of the new business. These are the things we need to do to get the rare were back on track. Some of that is important because we see the hashtag northern fail all the time. We know that some of the employees here feel really hard done by. They do need that little bit of love now . Absolutely. It is a difficult time, particularly when the businesses in difficulty and you dont know how you fit into it. The 100 day report will conclude, if anything, that the business is under resourced. The staff dont need to worry but they might need to be looking at how they are going to be enthused to tackle things like feeling confident about cleaning the trains and loving the railway again. A lot of building of enthusiasm across the workforce. Some of that will come from the top. We have heard this morning there is going to bea heard this morning there is going to be a new md. Will that make a difference . Be a new md. Will that make a difference . It be a new md. Will that make a difference . It should. Nick donovan is very well respected in the industry, particularly for how he works with people. He is a very understanding person when it comes to workforce issues. Hopefully he can be out there on the network and sharing his time with the staff and getting them enthusiastic about getting them enthusiastic about getting things sorted. Of course it is the passengers who will really castjudgment is the passengers who will really cast judgment here on is the passengers who will really castjudgment here on what happens, whether or not this is a success. The people i have been talking to this morning say theyjust want to get to work on time. I will be talking to the transport secretary, grant schapps, a little bit later about this new operator of last resort, by the network and also about coronavirus. Thank you very much. We will be back with you later. Lots of people very pleased to see you back on the sofa this morning, including myself. Thank you very much. You are back from your sport relief challenge in the nvidia desert. I am looking at the sand dunes behind me. They are called sand dunes but they are not. They are sand mountains. It looks very nice from here, louise you have no idea. If you fall over in the sand it burns you. We said, we were told it burns you. We said, we were told it would be about 35 degrees. In the shade it was 43. In the first date was 43 degrees in the shade and we had no shed. It was an incredible experience, and emotional experience. It sounds cliched but i have made friends for life with some incredibly resilient, kind people. And i think you are put together some of the bits i have not seen. Shelby have a look . Shall be have a look . At a very, very difficult time of my life, i was given help from a charity. And without that help 18 years ago, i wouldnt be here. This is why we got up early. This is where we got up early. All right, i see you are we excited about tomorrow . Were going on bikes tomorrow, arent we . We just got all our kit, didnt we . We got kit. We thought it was going to be hot. Its actually in excess of 42 degrees. Weve got a long way to go, its been incredibly tough so far. I cannot begin to explain how, just, it presses down on you, this heat. Weve had an incredible experience. Things are really bad. They are really bad out there. Weve had an incredible experience. Whats scary about this weather is you get very sick very quickly. All the money raised goes to Mental Health charities and weve individually got a reason why we are out here. And were talking about that. And that is kind of getting us through this relentless, scorching sand dunes. Its been really, really tough, really challenging, on a physical front, on an emotional front for all of us. But we have all had an incredible experience. Thank you to everyone whos donated, thank you. Does that bring it all back . Yeah. There is so much to explain about it. The desert is a very beautiful place but it is totally and utterly inhospitable. In the four days we we re inhospitable. In the four days we were there we only saw a live thing on the last day. They were things like, carry on louise, until you see that my grand turn left. On monday i woke up in the morning and it sounds really silly but but i hadnt really got my head around the fact it was a marathon. They said, ok louise, you have got a marathon of a 19 of the worlds biggest sand dunes. What . i said. I had a wash and i had to follow that arrow. And self navigate over these dunes. Me and rob render. We worked as a team that day. I was the navigator. When we hit the sand dunes, he would find the path up the sand dune. I would follow in his footsteps. You learn to rely on other people. Totally. We had a very emotional talk along the way. It puts you in places you are not expected. Yeah. And the funny shoes i was wearing. You have to wear those. You have your trainers. Then you get these issues. You velcro them around your feet. They go to about here. The sand doesnt go into your shoes. When you have a blister, your shoes. When you have a blister, you are in big trouble. |j your shoes. When you have a blister, you are in big trouble. I can imagine. You can get ill very quickly. The heat is on sport relief documentary will be on bbc one march the 11th 8pm. Thank you so much for your support. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im sonja jessup. From today, a speed limit of 20 mphs being intoduced on many roads in central london, to try to cut the number of deaths. It applies to all routes managed by transport for london within the congestion charging zone, including the albert embankment, millbank and blackfriars road. Critics say it wont make any difference, because traffic is already moving so slowly. The mayors due to meet with Health Officials and other authorities later, to discuss how prepared the capital is to respond to the coronavirus. The meeting at city hall will also involve the met police commissioner, transport for london and local councils. Sadiq khan says the risk to individuals from the virus is still low, but he wants to make sure they have the latest advice. Meanwhile, a school in reading will remain closed for the next few days after one of its staff tested positive for coronavirus. Willowbank infant school in woodley says its on advice from Public Health england and a deep clean will be carried out. The inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire resumes this morning after being on hold for several weeks. Witnesses have been given a guarantee that oral evidence they provide will not be used in any furture prosecution against them. It had been feared without that assurance many would stay silent. Airport staff who locate lost baggage at heathrow, have started a week long strike. Its a dispute over pay, with two further walk outs planned later this month. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Lets start with a look at the tube, and that looks good actually. No reported problems on any of those lines so far there. And on the roads at the moment, its mostly works slowing things down. This is holborn, where bloomsbury street is closed outside the shaftesbury theatre. Itll stay that way till the end of april. In chelsea, chayne walk is closed eastbound from edith grove to chelsea embankment. And in mitcham, london road remains closed for another two weeks for work to the bridge. Over to the weather with kate kinsella. Good morning. We have a little bit of respite this week or at least for the next few days, with some more settled conditions. Some sunshine eventually today, we start the day with a bit of cloud and some rain. This rain, Higher Ground especially, you might get a bit of sleet mixed in there but as you can see, it sweeps away fairly quickly. The wind is light today, plenty of sunshine, variable amounts of cloud. The risk of an isolated shower but largely dry and temperatures between eight and 10 celsius. Now, were still at risk of one or two showers overnight but again they will be isolated, few and far between. Largely dry, largely clear and again, the wind reasonably high is a minimum temperature, down towards 0 celsius so the chances are we mightjust get a bit of frost first thing tomorrow morning. Some sunshine around, though, for tuesday, similar conditions to today, just the risk of an isolated shower. Temperatures where they should be for early march, around nine or 10 celsius. It is going to, however, to more unsettled towards the end of the week and again into the weekend. Thats all from me for now, im back in around half an hour. Plenty more news travel and weather on our website at the usual address bbc. Co. Uk london. Now ill hand you back to louise and dan. Bye bye. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Our headlines today. Borisjohnson will today chair an emergency cobra meeting as the number of cases of coronavirus in the ukjumps to 36. One of those infected is a Health Worker. The worldwide death toll is now more than 3,000 as fears grow of a major outbreak in the united sates as a second person dies there. The government takes charge of struggling Northern Rail. Commuters are heading to work on trains run by the state operator of last resort for the first time but how soon will passengers see changes to their services . Caught in the act, the indian call centres where teams of fraudsters are scamming thousands of people out of their cash. Three is the magic number for Manchester City. Pep guardiolas team see off aston villa to win the league cup for the third successive year. Good morning. The number of flood warnings are now coming down, reducing, a quieter spell with sunshine and showers over the next few days but a little bit more rain later in the week. All the details in ten minutes. Its monday, march 2nd. Our top story. One of the 12 new cases of coronavirus confirmed in the uk yesterday is a Health Worker employed in a Cancer Clinic in hertfordshire. There are now 36 confirmed cases in the uk. More than 3000 people are now known to have died worldwide in the outbreak. The Prime Minister will chair a meeting of the governments Emergency Cobra Committee this morning to discuss the uks response. Andy moore has the latest. Ahead of chairing a cobra emergency meeting, borisjohnson went to visit the Health Professionals in the front line of the fight against coronavirus. At the laboratories of Public Health england in london, he expressed every confidence in the people around him. Coronavirus is a concern. It is a novel illness, but its something that this country really amply has the resources to deal with. We have state of the art testing facilities, we have a fantastic nhs. We will have to get through this, but believe me, we are going to beat it. The jump in cases announced yesterday includes a family cluster of three adults related to a man in hazlemere, who was confirmed as testing positive on friday. Its still not known how he got the virus. There are now 36 confirmed infections across the uk, with the first case in scotland, on tayside, announced yesterday evening. This is a serious situation, but we have well established procedures in place and theres no need for the public to be unduly concerned. But the public can help, because we are still very firmly in the containment phases of this infection. Last night, some of the first britons released from several days quarantine at a hotel in tenerife, flew home. Its hoped that many others will soonjoin them. Frustrating at times, mainly because of the communication difficulties between spanish and uk authorities. Apart from that theyve been great. In the usa, in washington state, a nursing home is still under lockdown amid fears dozens there may have the virus. A local scientist said he thought the true number of fections may run into the hundreds, because the virus has been spreading undetected for many weeks. And at the source of the infection in china, the daily toll of new infections continues to fall. But, with another 42 fatalities, the global death toll from covid 19 has now passed 3,000. Andy moore, bbc news. In a moment well get an update on the british holiday makers staying at a quarantined hotel in tenerife from our correspondent, fiona trott. But first, lets get more now on the governments response from our Political Correspondent, chris mason, who is in downing street for us. There is going to be this high level meeting today . Yes, good morning. The Prime Minister chairing, the chief medical officer and the chief scientific adviser will be there. Its quite striking the language we are hearing from the government in terms of its approach to the coronavirus, talking about this meeting being about setting out a battle plan for how the government and society at large should tackle the issue in the uk. There is an acceptance that not only is the number of cases going up that it will go up further. The government needs to think through this containment phase, as we hear there, in the report, in terms of minimising the spread, but also talking about privately the prospect of it getting much worse and what the government were to do in those particular circumstances. Over the weekend as a Health Secretary matt hancock was saying that they rule out nothing, and what they might have to do if the significance of this was to ratchet up quite a bit, so the language is quite striking with a couple of days ago, comparing with a couple of days ago, comparing with that, the government is now talking outwardly about this. Talking about setting up a war room in the government in terms of communication to ensure that Public Health messages are pumped out around the country. I think there is an awareness within government while they want to be seen to be doing all that they can as a national level, they also want to communicate to us as mothers of the public to do the obvious stuff like washing our hands. Members of the public. Lets speak now to fiona trott, who is outside the quarantined hotel in tenerife. Whats happening there . We heard that some holiday makers have been able to come back in the last few hours or so to the uk, whats the latest this morning . Thats right, after five whats the latest this morning . Thats right, afterfive days whats the latest this morning . Thats right, after five days of quarantine, some of them are back in the uk. We believe around 25 of them left the hotel yesterday but it has been a challenge for them because as you know, airlines has said, we can fly you back if you have a negative covid 19 test and you go to the airport and you show no symptoms. But it has to be within 24 hours because although it is undetectable, it cannot be passed on any later than that. It has been a challenge for customers because for what we understand, they have to try and get a flight from their travel company, back time it and make sure the test is within that 24 hour window, then it appears as though they dont get their certificate to prove they are fit to fly until they check out so they have to try and get a verbal confirmation before then and make arrangements with their travel company and get on a flight. Some of them here yesterday were saying, they didnt get any verbal confirmation at all until 22 hours later, another guest told us they didnt get any result at all and could not book a flight. Its been very difficult for them. As we know, we believe 25 are now back in the uk. More to leave this afternoon with jet2. When uk. More to leave this afternoon withjet2. When they get back to the uk, they have to be in self isolation until march the 9th. Thank you so much. Fiona, who has been in tenerife for the last few days. We have other news of the last half an hour about one of the 12 new cases yesterday, we have been told it isa cases yesterday, we have been told it is a Health Worker in hertfordshire, this was posted on a local nhs website. It went on to say, we are very well prepared insta nces say, we are very well prepared instances like this, this is from the chief medical officer and nhs and Health England are taking all steps. All individuals who are in contact with the clinician have been identified and the appropriate treatment taken. The risk is very low to the people at the mount vernon centre. A bit more detail on who has been diagnosed with coronavirus. We are speaking to the labour party about their view on the governments response to the coronavirus, and also talking to liz truss later on. We have got the Health Secretary yesterday talking about potential measures that could come in the next few days. This Health Worker, there are few more details, they say, we would to offer assurances that it remains safe for patients to attend Mount Vernon Cancer Centre is noble and patients should be attending as normal and patients should be attending outpatient appointment as normal. To find out more about coronavirus, you can watch a bbc news special tonight on bbc one. Rachel burden and fergus walsh will be answering your questions in coronavirus everything you need to know. Thats tonight at 7. 30pm on bbc one. 100 british negotiators are travelling to brussels to begin talks about a new trade deal with the eu. The first phase of discussions, which will also cover co operation on security and transport, is due to last four days. Joining us now from brussels is our correspondent adam fleming. I feel like i havent ifeel like i havent talked i feel like i havent talked to you about this for ages but there is a sense here, good morning to you, real ha rd sense here, good morning to you, real hard work starts now. Dont worry, ive been thinking about it very ha rd even worry, ive been thinking about it very hard even though we havent been chatting everyday like the old days it all kicks off today at lunchtime with a meeting between the two chief negotiators, Michel Barnierfor two chief negotiators, Michel Barnier for the two chief negotiators, Michel Barnierfor the eu side, staying on for the brexit negotiations, and david frost, the Prime Ministers cheap europe adviser and the chief negotiator. The real hard Technical Work will start tomorrow morning when there will be 11 separate working groups of officials looking at the trade in goods, services, energy, transport, fishing, all sorts of policy areas. There are so many, you mentioned 100 on the british side, a similar number on the eu side, too many to fit into the eu side, too many to fit into the eus headquarters so they are going to go to a Conference Centre in the centre of town instead. Then the first sign we will get about any progress is on thursday when Michel Barnier is planning to do a news conference. Not just barnier is planning to do a news conference. Notjust big delegations, there are also big differences between the two sides. Lots of different things, for example, just how much should this Free Trade Agreement to rely on current existing eu standards, which are written down in eu rules and regulations . There is probably going to bea regulations . There is probably going to be a big argument about fishing because the uk in the eu want to handle the whole issue about quotas very differently. The technical one which is going to be a big deal, called governments, how do you actually organise and oversee all the different bits of the relationship and is there a role for the European Courts ofjustice . Lots to talk about. And i know you will be listening closely. It feels like the good old days, brexit talks, trade deals the greek government has announced that its suspending the processing of asylum applications and will immediately return anyone who enters the country illegally. The move comes after several days of clashes at its land border with turkey, where thousands of migrants are demanding to be allowed to cross. Eu officials have called for emergency meetings of ministers to respond to the crisis. I love being given gifts, but imagine this. Imagine finding out a gift from an old friend is worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. Well, heres the moment that happened for session musician, ray. I wouldnt be surprised if it made between £300,000£400,000. Ray had been given the rare guitar by George Harrison in the 1980s, after the two recorded together. Before becoming part of harrisons collection, the instrument had been made specially for another member of the fab four, john lennon. Ray said he still plays it regularly and had never given much thought to its value. What i find that is. We dont know if he still plays it regularly he wouldnt sell it. Lets get the weather details now. Good morning. Chilly out there, colder than a recent day, but the wettest february on record came to an end. Looking better today, sunshine and showers, there will be rain this week but not as persistent as it has been. We have had rain in the southeast overnight which will be clearing to the east over the next couple of hours. Dry weather with clearer skies but a rash of hairy showers in the north west so for much of scotland and Northern Ireland, some of them will be wintry showers. But a lot of dry weather elsewhere. Tonight, a west east split across scotland, heavy and wintry showers in the west, clearer skies across the east. Into the north of england, one or two showers into the evening. Clearer skies into the south and east, into wales, one or two showers into the evening hours as well. A fairly chilly day, temperatures dipping quickly after the sun sets. Some showers moving in from the rest overnight, heavy in scotland, Northern Ireland and northern england. Further east, mostly dry but a chilly night, temperatures getting down to freezing or a bit below. A touch of frost and the odd it stretch vesting tomb it stretch first thing tuesday morning. Through the week, sunshine and showers, a little bit more rain for the middle and the end of the week. Not as heavy as it has been. Still flood warnings in force but they are starting to reduce in number. Britain is prepared to fight coronavirus thats what the Prime Minister is expected to tell ministers at an emergency Cabinet Meeting later. The number of uk cases jumped yesterday, and some have accused the government of being too slow to respond to the outbreak. The shadow Health Secretary, jonathan ashworthjoins us from westminster. Good morning. Thank you forjoining us. First of all, what is your reaction to this jump in cases . Well, my initial reaction is that all my thoughts are with all of those who have contracted the virus andl those who have contracted the virus and i once again pay tribute to the extraordinary efforts of our nhs staff and our Public Health england staff, and indeed the nhs leadership and the chief medical officer, who has shown Exceptional Leadership throughout this outbreak. This is clearly now very, very serious. I am pleased that the Prime Minister is now attending a cobra meeting. He hasnt actually been to any as i understand it, to deal with coronavirus so far. But it clearly is things are developing and with medical opinion expecting this to become a global pandemic, we really do need urgent reassurances from the government about the next stage of their preparations. And i hope mattock hancock, the Health Secretary, can come to the house of commons today to outline the government plans Going Forward. He did mention, and i am sure you are aware of this, that it may be necessary to follow chinas example by shutting down cities to prevent the city spread of coronavirus. Would you support that . the city spread of coronavirus. Would you support that . I would support anything that puts the Public Health interests of the country first. Because this is a very serious virus. It appears to spread a very, very easily. People are vulnerable, particularly elderly people, particularly elderly people with a range of chronic conditions from respiratory problems, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions. This is extremely serious. If the medical advice and the scientific is to take measures along those lines, and of course we will support them. I have been broadly support supportive of the government so far in trying to contain the virus and slow its spread. I do have wider concerns about the ability of the nhs to cope. Because we know, after ten years of cutbacks, we have lost 17,000 bytes, we know the nhs is under immense pressure. We know it is short of 40,000 offers full nurses. I do have questions about the ability of the nhs Going Forward andl the ability of the nhs Going Forward and i urge the government to consider an emergency funding package for the nhs. However, consider an emergency funding package forthe nhs. However, if consider an emergency funding package for the nhs. However, if the government has to take the sort of measures matt hancock has been talking about, of course they would have our support as a responsible opposition. You are in opposition at the moment. Lets have some thoughts about shutting down cities. How could that happen . Well, indeed. I mean, it would be a move so drastic that we hadnt seen it for, and not sure how practical it could be in reality. However, this virus is serious and it appears to spread very easily and we need to contain it and slow down the spread. The medical advice is to do Something Like that. And if that is the case we should support it. Which is why, however, i am we should support it. Which is why, however, lam keen we should support it. Which is why, however, i am keen that matt hancock, the Health Secretary, comes to the house of commons today to update mps on plans after the cobra meeting. People watching this morning will be understandably very concerned. We just need clarity from the government. We dont need hysteria. We need clarity. And if people and people need to follow the Public Health advice. If they are sneezing, sneeze into their arm, washing their hands, hand washing is one of the most effective defences there can be. Putting tissues in the bin after using them. It would be good to get clarity from the government today about the next steps. Thank you very much, jonathan ashworth. The Prime Minister is attending that cobra meeting. I am sure we will get information about that as and when it happens. We will be speaking to somebody from Public Health england at ten minutes to eight this morning. Plenty to come throughout the morning. A special programme on coronavirus tonight at 7 30pm.

Well, i bet youre looking at google right now. The call centre is making around £300,000 a month. The owner denies its a scam. But weve got the recordings of 70,000 calls and they show customers are being ripped off. Indias call Centre Business is one many rely on but it also has a dark side which is heard but rarely seen. Rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, delhi. It really gives you a sense of what is going on and the pressure people are under. Joining us now is kate bevan, the editor of which computing, and david matika who has fallen victim to one of these scams. Good morning. Thank you for coming in to talk to us about it. Its embarrassing in some ways to fall victim. It was very persuasive. What happened . I was on the computer and it came up on screen that i had been blocked. It gives you a number to phone. It keeps making a siren sound almost. It makes you panic. I found almost. It makes you panic. I found a numberand the almost. It makes you panic. I found a number and the guy said to me, somebody has got on your computer and theyve hacked into it. Theyve done a load of child pornography and all of that. The police may come around to your house. You get scared. Ijust feel sorry around to your house. You get scared. I just feel sorry for everyone else. I come on the show to stop other people from getting caught. They asked you for how much money . They originally asked for 900. I told him, money . They originally asked for 900. Itold him, i said, well, im a pensioner. Ive got no money. It ended up £200. Still £200 that is gone. Nothing you could do on your computer. There was a pop up that said you need to call this number. It seemed real. A little arrow was going way to go and everything. He had total control of my computer as well. I dont know how he did it. What should dave have done in that situation . Its awful when Something Like this happens. The first thing is not to panic. This is what they are trying to make you do. That is what happened to you. The siren comes up. This is scary stuff about child pornography. Dont panic. Think about it. May be shut down your computer, breathe. Then go back and have another look. Basically, no computer company, no microsoft, no isp, no Antivirus Company will ever do that to you. You know when you get those dodgy e mails sometimes are saying, we need to verify your bank account details. I always copy the e mail and put it into a search engine. Because often other people have been subject to that same sort of issue and they will say, this is hoax e mail. Of issue and they will say, this is hoax email. That is a good thing to do. They are quite hard, they are designed to fool you. That is a good thing to do. They will never contact you like that. They will never use never you like that. They will never use never send you a link. All providers are really good. They know about that. There is a test you can do on google. It is a fitting test. You can test yourself and see how good you are at spotting them. You didnt even know it was a scam until you are contacted by the programme . That is correct. What did you think about that . I felt disgusted. They took me to do an interview for them. They played the whole conversation i had with the gentleman. I was surprised how many times i said sorry to him. He kept saying, i will come around and meet you, i am only in portsmouth, i will come to london with a bottle of wine. Making out like he was your friend . Yeah, that was it. You pay £200. You feel he has helped you out because it could have been 900 . Has helped you out because it could have been 900 . Thats right. I thought i had saved 700. How common i things like this . It is very common. It is one of the oldest scams in the books. It happens all the time. At the end of last year there was an operation in calcutta calcutta to there was an operation in calcutta calcutta to shut down one of these. But you hit one on the head and another three popped up. What do you do if you are suspicious . You talk about not ringing the number. Do you need to report it . Yes, reported to action fraud. It is online. They keep tabs on this kind of thing. It is hard to report. These places are almost never in the uk. But reporting at least gives action fraud a sense of the level of crime. There is advice as well. Are you more vigilant now, dave . Definitely. I checked with my banks and everything. They dont get in touch with you. They give you a special number to give in. That is the only way. They want to send you an e mail. If you get one of those on your phone, dont even read it. Good advice. Obviously change your password. Have a really strong unique password for each individual service. Keep the computer up to date. Your browser up to date. All very good advice. Panorama spying on the scammers is on bbc one tonight at 8. 30. It will also be available on the bbc iplayer. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news.

From today, a speed limit of 20mph being intoduced in central london, to try to cut the number people dying on our roads. It applies to all routes managed by transport for london within the congestion charging zone, including the albert embankment, millbank and blackfriars road. Critics say it wont make any difference, because traffic is already moving so slowly. The mayors due to meet with Health Officials and other authorities later, to discuss how prepared the capital is to respond to the coronavirus. The meeting at city hall will also involve the met police commissioner, transport for london and local councils. Sadiq khan says the risk to individuals from the virus is still low, but he wants to make sure they have the latest advice. Meanwhile, a school in reading will remain closed for the next few days, after one of its staff tested positive for coronavirus. Willowbank infant school in woodley says its on advice from Public Health england, and a deep clean will be carried out. Airport staff who locate lost baggage at heathrow, have started a week long strike. Its a dispute over pay, with two further walkouts planned later this month. It was a big night for londons west end last night. New musical and juliet was one of the big winners at the whatsonstage awards. The production, which reimagines the story of the heroine from romeo and juliet and features songs from Britney Spears and katy perry, took six prizes. Other winners included musicals come from away and mary poppins. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. On the tube there are some minor delays on the waterloo city line because of a shortage of trains. That appears to have cleared now. And on the roads at the moment, its mostly works slowing things down. This is holborn, where bloomsbury street is closed outside the shaftesbury theatre. Itll stay that way till the end of april. And in chelsea, chayne walk is closed eastbound from edith grove to chelsea embankment. And in mitcham, london road remains closed for another two weeks for work to the bridge. Over to the weather, with kate kinsella. Good morning. We have a little bit of respite this week or at least for the next few days, with some more settled conditions. Some sunshine eventually today, we start the day with a bit of cloud and some rain. This rain, Higher Ground especially, you might get a bit of sleet mixed in there but as you can see, it sweeps away fairly quickly. The wind is light today, plenty of sunshine, variable amounts of cloud. The risk of an isolated shower but largely dry and temperatures between eight and 10 celsius. Now, were still at risk of one or two showers overnight but again they will be isolated, few and far between. Largely dry, largely clear and again, the wind reasonably light with a minimum temperature, down towards 0 celsius so the chances are we mightjust get a bit of frost first thing tomorrow morning. Some sunshine around, though, for tuesday, similar conditions to today, just the risk of an isolated shower. Temperatures where they should be for early march, around nine or 10 celsius. It is going to, however, turn more unsettled towards the end of the week and again into the weekend. Thats all from me for now, im back in around half an hour. Now ill hand you back to louise and dan. Bye bye. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. One of 12 new coronavirus cases confirmed in the uk yesterday is a Health Worker employed at a Cancer Clinic in hertfordshire. It comes as the Prime Minister prepares to chair a meeting of the governments Emergency Cobra Committee this morning. Yesterday saw the biggest dailyjump of cases diagnosed in the uk. 36 people are confirmed to be infected. 100 british negotiators are travelling to brussels this morning to begin new trade deal talks with the eu. Meanwhile, Boris Johnson has promised to drive a hard bargain as he set out the uks negotiating position for a post brexit free trade deal with the us. Joining us now from our westminster studio is the International Development secretary, liz truss. Thank liz truss. You for spending some time with thank you for spending some time with us this morning. Lots we have would like to talk to about. In terms of the eu trade deals, it seems the war of worlds has started, not the most promising of start . The war of words. It is important that we have control over our rules and regulations, we have made that very clear. Countries like canada andjapan very clear. Countries like canada and japan have good deals with the eu on terms that we want and there should be no reason why we cannot get those as well. It took seven yea rs get those as well. It took seven years to get the canada deal, seven yea rs of years to get the canada deal, seven years of negotiations. We are in a very different position. You just like into the deals and now youre saying its a different position. You just said the deals were similar. We are closer to the eu with our deals already so it should be relatively straightforward to secure that deal. Can i ask you about the fishing element . The french europe minister was on the Andrew Marr Programme yesterday saying if that part of the deal colla pses, saying if that part of the deal collapses, the whole deal will full down. French ministers say, if there is no deal sorted for access to british waters, there will be a blockade of calais within 24 hour is. This is a huge area of concern, isnt it . We are not going to trade away our fishing isnt it . We are not going to trade away ourfishing in isnt it . We are not going to trade away our fishing in a deal with the eu orany away our fishing in a deal with the eu or any other negotiating partner for that matter. So what happens if there is a blockade of calais, where 17 of uk trade relies on that dover to calais crossing . Im not going into what ifs. We are going to get a deal with the eu which does not involve selling out our fishing. The same is true about the deal i am talking about today, the deal with the us. I am not trading in what ifs. President macron says if the fishing deal. , that would trigger street protests in france, which is already economically fragile, the french Economic System at the moment, its not a case of what if. Surely you are discussing the potential of a blockade of calais which is essential to uk trade with the eu . We have been very clear in our position in fishing in the eu talks. We will not be selling out our fishing. Talks. We will not be selling out ourfishing. One talks. We will not be selling out our fishing. One of talks. We will not be selling out ourfishing. One of the main reasons people voted to leave the eu was they wanted britain to become an independent coastal state, to have control over our own waters, its as simple as that. Ok, what about the trade deal with the us . There are two potential areas of concern. One is chlorinated chicken and the other is chlorinated chicken and the other is whether the nhs is up for grabs. Can you give some guarantees to our viewers, first on the use of chlorinated chicken, which is regularly used to the us but not here at the moment . I can absolutely guarantee that in a trade deal with the us, we will not diminish our food safety standards, and we will also not put the nhs on the table or the price the nhs pays for drugs on the price the nhs pays for drugs on the table. There are very clear red lines on our trade deal. I would also point out that there are huge potential benefits for all parts of britain from trade deal with the us. Our economic study shows a potential 50 million benefit for trade, 1. 8 billion boost for british workers. Every single part of the country stands to benefit, particularly the midlands, north east and scotland benefiting the most. There are big opportunities there. If we dont get the deal we want, we will be prepared to walk away. That includes the red lines on food standards and the red lines on food standards and the National Health service. Are you prepared to walk away from both of those negotiations with the us and the eu . It seems that both of them, its quite a fragile arrangement at the moment. We are prepared to walk away from both deals if we dont get what britain wants. There is a deal to be done. If you take a country like canada, canada has a good deal with the United States, it has a good deal with the eu. There is no reason why we cannot strike a deal with both the eu and the us to the benefit of british citizens but were not going to get a good deal by simply agreeing to whatever the other party is putting on the table. This is a negotiation, where taking a tough stance so we get a good deals every pa rt a tough stance so we get a good deals every part of the uk. Two other issues id like to talk about, the first the governments in one priority, apparently, coronavirus, there is a cobra meeting this morning. We have been talking to the shadow Health Secretary about measures that might be taken. Can you assure our viewers this morning that the government is well prepared for what might and potentially could happen over the next few days and weeks . I can assure you that this is the number one priority of the government, making sure that we have everything in place to deal with coronavirus. The Health Secretary is leading cobra today, the Prime Minister will chair it, we have a battle plan which sets out all of the areas we are working on, for example, a war room which will mean that there is a Public Information campaign, we have the best scientists and doctors, we have the best Communication Specialists in place to make sure that we have everything prepared. The 1. 1 would make is that all of us in the uk can help that effort, making sure we wash our hands properly, for at least 20 seconds, using a bar of soap. There are simple precautions that everybody can take to make sure we are part of the effort. Is it going to get worse before it gets better . We have had 36 confirmed cases so far. We are prepared for all scenarios. We are doing all we can to contain the disease at the moment. And we are working very hard on that. But we need to be aware that things could get worse, thats why we have the plan in place, thats why we have a dedicated minister dealing with coronavirus, and we are making sure the resources the Health Services are there to deal with it. The Health Services are there to dealwith it. There is huge discussion around social media this morning with our viewers, about what the next step is. Matt hancock was talking about it yesterday on the Andrew Marr Programme, about what could potentially happen, what steps the government could take. If you get the medical advice, are you ready to say, we are going to isolate cities and make sure the people from, lets say, for example, manchester, dont travel to liverpool . Is that something you are thinking about are considering . We will always take the best possible medical advice and well take it very seriously. Well take action on the basis of that medical advice. On the basis of that medical advice. On the Health Secretary has said as hes not anything out in terms of response at that stage. We are still examining itand response at that stage. We are still examining it and taking advice from medical experts but should extraction be required, we will of course take that action and will ta ke course take that action and will take it very promptly should extraction be required, should extra action be required, we will take that action and take it very promptly. The final issue to talk to you about is these rumours around the home secretary priti patel, what you make of the fact that she is being regularly accused of being a bully in her department . I have worked with her for a of being a bully in her department . I have worked with herfor a number of years, i think shes a fine public servant, somebody who is dedicated to delivering for header department. Dedicated to delivering for header department. Is she a bully . Thats not my experience of working with priti, she is a courteous person and very professional, she has a difficultjob as home secretary. We have got to get the borders right post brexit and recruit these police officers, she is absolutely dedicated to that task. It is uncomfortable for the government, you listen to sir Philip Putnam who resigned yesterday, who do you believe . Do you believe the home secretary or the most senior home secretary or the most Senior Home Office official who has left hisjob because of Home Office Official who has left his job because of this . Home Office Official who has left hisjob because of this . Home Office Official who has left his job because of this . I have worked with priti for a number of yea rs worked with priti for a number of years and she is somebody who is professional, she is dedicated and she is ha rd working. Professional, she is dedicated and she is hard working. As to the issue that we had about at the weekend, we have a pending court case so it is very difficult to talk about that. I can assure you that priti patel is a fine politician who is working very ha rd to fine politician who is working very hard to make sure the people of britain are kept safe. Appreciate you coming onto the show and talking to us this morning, thank you. Sally is here to talk about Manchester City. Third time is the charm, they cannot stop winning the League Cup Final Manchester City have won the league cup for the third year in a row after beating aston villa 2 1 at wembley. Sergio aguero opened the scoring, firing home after phil foden found him in the box. And just ten minutes later city doubled their lead through rodri, putting them in control of the match. Villa were offered a lifeline when Mbwana Samatta pulled one back but it wasnt enough, as city saw out the match to win the trophy again. Its not the trophy that they really want though. I think the most beautiful one is the premier league, it will be better than last season, idyllic is going to happen. I believe the premier league and the domestic title is the most difficult one, it means title is the most difficult one, it m ea ns every title is the most difficult one, it means every single day, they are consistent. I think we were not enough consistent compared with the previous season, maybe not at that level. In the premier league, everton and Manchester United shared the points after a 1 1 draw at goodison park. Dominic Calvert Lewin scored early on for everton, charging down a david de gea clearence but Bruno Fernandes equalised. Another goalkeeping error, this time from england keeperjordan pickford. Everton were later denied a last minute winner by var. Celtic have continued their pursuit of a fourth consecutive domestic treble after beating stjohnstone in the scottish cup quarter finals. A late Ryan Christie free kick was enough to send celtic through to the semi finals where they will face aberdeen. The other semifinal will be an Edinburgh Derby between hearts and hibernian. The celebrities were out in force as David Beckhams inter miami side made their mls debut against los angeles. Wife victoria not surprisingly was there to support him saying im so excited. Son romeo posted a picture which the club tagged first day at school. And Gordon Ramsay was also there to see miamis first game. Unfortunately things didnt go to plan on the pitch with la winning1 0. Coronavirus continues to have an impact on sporting events around the world. Now the opening motogp race in qatar due to travel restrictions affecting passengers from italy. Mea nwhle organisers of the six nations will meet later today to discuss plans for the remainder of the tournament. Irelands match against italy in dublin scheduled for this weekend has already been called off, while there are still doubts over other matches including englands visit to rome on the final weekend. Meanwhile in italy, visiting fans from atalanta, based in northern italy, were tested for symptoms of the coronavirus on their way in to their teams game with lecce. Only five serie a games were played this weekend because of the outbreak. Great britain finished the track cycling World Championships with four medals, equaling their total from last year. It took until the final day to get their first gold though. That came through Elinor Barker, who finished first in the womens points race. Barker later said that she feels pretty close to the form of her life going into tokyo 2020. And finally, if we just go back to our top story for a moment. When Manchester City are winning football matches, Noel Gallagher is never far away. I dont believe that anybody feels the way i do about you now. And all the roads we have to walk are winding. It was no different yesterday when gallagher was filmed inside the Manchester City dressing room after the game singing wonderwall with the players. I dont know who ensuring that more. I think Benjamin Mendy i dont know who ensuring that more. I think Benjamin Mendy i think we see stirling get involved, is he trying to stop him . Please, stop its great though. Nothing like a good singer. Particularly if you have got the bloke who wrote the songin have got the bloke who wrote the song in the first place in the room. Some cold temperatures, lets get the weather. Good morning. It is a chilly start, but quite scenic, this is ambleside this morning in cumbria, pink skies. Some shower clouds which is a sign of the day, there will be showers around, sunshine and showers, not quite as wet and windy as it has been recently. Things will feel quite chilly with some frosty nights. Later on in the week they could be some rain but a bit of a respite in the flooding situation. Temperature is pretty chilly, freezing or below for many of us, there across the scalp because we have had milder across the south because we have had some epics of rain. More wintry showers packing in from the north west. Sleet and snow showers across the Higher Ground of Northern Ireland and particularly for the west of scotland where it will be quite windy. We should see some blue skies in the east of scotland, and across much of england and wales, once the rain clears from the east, mostly dry with temperatures seven to 10 degrees. Not as windy so no wind chill like we have seen recently. A breeze from the west or north west, but windy conditions across the Western Isles where we could see gusts of 50 miles an hour. This evening and tonight, persistent showers across scotland and Northern Ireland, north west england sing some showers, sleet and snow at the Higher Ground, rein in lower levels. Showers into the west of england, the east would be largely dry, and a chilly start tuesday morning. Expect some frost and icy stretches. Tuesday, low pressure setting to the north of scotla nd pressure setting to the north of scotland so more showers rotating around that area of low pressure. Further south, dry about showers around tomorrow. Working in from the rest through the day, tending to peter out as it heads towards the east. Blue skies and sunshine, most of the showers frequent across northern and North Western parts, and they will be wintry across Higher Ground. Further south, a touch warmer than today, eight to 10 degrees on tuesday. The middle of the week and mostly dry conditions, for wednesday and thursday, but a chance that low pressure could bring some rain particularly on wednesday on some south westerly parts of the uk. Thursday into friday, this area of low pressure moves through so we will have a bit more rain, nothing too heavy at this stage. Towards the end of the week, another area of low pressure, just arriving in time for the weekend. Does not look quite as strong so not wet as windy as it has been recently. I was iwas in i was in the desert last week listening to the extraordinary weather that you are having. But that has gone now, has it . Yes, a quieter interlude for the moment. We have had a seemingly endless stream of those named storms. Very wet and windy. The jet stream shifting position. Not completely dry but not as unsettled as it has been. Thank you very much indeed. It was quite strange listening to you, particularly one day when i was standing in the baking heat and frankie bridge was holding the bbc brea kfast frankie bridge was holding the bbc breakfast umbrella. I kept forgetting it in lots of places. Standing there and listening to what was going on here, which sounded really bad for lots of people. We went straight from ironbridge, where they had record levels of water, see you in 43 degrees heat in the desert. Where they hadnt had rain for decades and then they had it when we arrived. We will talk about that later. And by our main story. The number of coronavirus cases in the uk is still relatively small compared to other countries. The first cases were reported at the end ofjanuary in york, a Chinese Student and a relative who were staying in the city. Over the next week a further seven cases emerged , including five linked to a businessman from brighton. He contracted the virus in singapore. Four britons evacuated from the diamond princess cruise ship tested positive while in quarantine at Arrowe Park Hospital on the wirral. Since then, there has been a steady increase, but yesterday there was a big jump with 13 new cases, meaning there have now been 36 people infected across the uk. Professor paul cosford is from Public Health england. Hejoins us from our london newsroom. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. Lets talk about what seems to be a jump in cases yesterday. How concerned are you by that . Good morning. The increase in numbers of cases that we have seen affected both in this country and in other countries in europe and in southeast asia, do make it likely that we will see in due course whitehead has spread transmission in the uk. What we dont know is exactly how widespread that will be. All of our efforts at the moment are still to identify anybody who has got the illness, to identify their contacts and isolating them, and doing all that we can to reduce the spread of infection. Thats important because that will reduce the intensity of infections so that the intensity of infections so that the challenges we may inevitably face with this will be reduced as faras we are face with this will be reduced as far as we are able to reduce them. You seem to be indicating that widespread infection is inevitable. Can you put a number on it . No, we cant put a number on that until we know. I wouldnt say it is inevitable but it is highly likely. The point of that is we have to be prepared for a range of different eventualities. It is not clear, if you look at the experience in other countries, some countries do appear to have managed to have get this a little bit more under control. We have seen the numbers coming down in china. Other countries are struggling more and are seeing increasing numbers. Thats why we must be prepared. There are some things that are important to say. The first is that this is, for the vast majority of people, a mild disease that will make a full recovery. We know that children and otherwise healthy adults seem to be at low risk of getting the more severe complications from this illness. It is therefore older people and people with severe underlying illnesses that we should be most concerned about. It is a point we do see. That is why the focus of our attention will be to make sure that they can be looked after as well as possible. But even then, even if you are older or have a severe underlying condition, the chances are that you will be able to make a full recovery from this illness. Its important to bear all of those things in mind. With regard to older people and people with underlying conditions, should they be taking extra special precautions, for example . All of us will have a pa rt for example . All of us will have a part to play in reducing the spread of this infection, reducing the intensity of it. The faith that we are in at the moment is containment. We are trying to identify everybody and avoid any spread from those infections. Then we move into a phase where we try to delay the more widespread infection, make sure that the peak of that infection is as low as possible. During that period, of course, anybody who is unwell, should self isolate. Phone nhs 111 if you have been in one of the countries concerned and take advice from there. We also should advise avoid, if we have respiratory illnesses, we should stay at home and not go to places where we can spread that infection to other people. That is particularly the case for people who are more vulnerable to complications of infection, particularly older people and people with severe underlying illnesses. And then of course there is everything that we should do. Washing our hands regularly. If we have a cough or a sneeze, to catch it in have a cough or a sneeze, to catch itina have a cough or a sneeze, to catch it in a tissue, through the tissue away and pin it. That is a very important message. We understand that a patient in essex became the second person in the uk to be struck down without actually having travelled abroad. Is that a significant change, do you think . M the cases we have had so far the vast majority still have links to travel abroad, to places where infection is in other countries. But we are beginning, i think, infection is in other countries. But we are beginning, ithink, to infection is in other countries. But we are beginning, i think, to see the first few cases where that may not be the case. That is part of the reason for saying that i think at this point we should expect to see some wider transmission in due course in the uk. We are not there yet as we speak. It could happen relatively quickly. It may take a little longer. But it is very important to be prepared. And to do all that we can now to reduce the chances of infection and to slow the spread of this infection because thatis spread of this infection because that is what will help us most over the coming few months if we do see a more widespread infection in the uk. Can you give me any more information. We know there were new cases announced yesterday, one of them was a Health Worker. Can you give me any more information . cant give you any more information about that or individual cases. Anybody working in the Health Service who has an infection will be asked to self isolate. As for anybody. And with anybody who suffers from infection we will then be tracing all of their close contacts. In the case of somebody who works at the Health Service, that may include patients who that individual has seen. Public Health England has been doing that around the clock over the past few weeks, doing it very successfully, and we will continue to do that. We will be in touch with people who may be at risk from contact with that individual and advising them how to self isolate and individual and advising them how to self isolate and what individual and advising them how to self isolate and what steps may be required. One final question. We know cobra is meeting today, we know the Prime Minister will be in that meeting. What do you think the priorities . What should they do . What the cobra meeting will be doing is looking at all the range of different eventualities that could come as we see more widespread infection, assuming that is what happens. And the range of responses that we may need to make across the country in order to deal with that. Of course the important thing for all of us is to know that we have all of us is to know that we have all got a part to play in that. Washing your hands, catch it, bin it, kill it. Dont go out when you have an infection, when you have symptoms, respiratory illness, cough, fever etc. We have all got a pa rt cough, fever etc. We have all got a part to play to help reduce the spread of this infection.

The wind is light today, plenty of sunshine, variable amounts of cloud. The risk of an isolated shower but largely dry and temperatures between eight and 10 celsius. Now, were still at risk of one or two showers overnight but again they will be isolated, few and far between. Largely dry, largely clear and again, the wind reasonably light with a minimum temperature, down towards 0 celsius so the chances are we mightjust get a bit of frost first thing tomorrow morning. Some sunshine around, though, for tuesday, similar conditions to today, just the risk of an isolated shower. Temperatures where they should be for early march, around nine or 10 celsius. It is going to, however, turn more unsettled towards the end of the week and again into the weekend. Thats all from me for now, im back in around half an hour. Plenty more news travel and weather on our website at the usual address bbc. Co. Uk london. Now ill hand you back to louise and dan. Bye bye. Good morning and welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Our headlines today. Borisjohnson will today chair an emergency cobra meeting as the number of cases of coronavirus in the uk jumps to 36 one of those infected is a Health Worker. The worldwide death toll is now more than 3,000 as fears grow of a major outbreak in the united sates as a second person dies there. Yeah, the day will come eventually when we clear our names criminally. The fight for justice, how a group of sub postmasters had their lives turned upside down when they were wrongly accused of theft. The organisers of the six nations will meet in paris this morning to discuss plans for the rest of the tournament. With one match already called off, more games could be affected due to coronavirus. After the wettest february on record, march is starting off on a bit more of a quiet note. I will have the details in about ten minutes. Its monday, march 2nd. Our top story. One of 13 new coronavirus cases confirmed in the uk yesterday is a Health Worker employed at a Cancer Clinic in hertfordshire. It comes as the Prime Minister prepares to chair a meeting of the governments Emergency Cobra Committee this morning. Yesterday saw the biggest dailyjump of cases diagnosed in the uk. 36 people are confirmed to be infected. Coronavirus is of concern. It is a novel illness, but its something that this country really amply has the resources to deal with. We have state of the art testing facilities. We have a fantastic nhs. We will have to get through this, but, believe me, we are going to beat it. In a moment, well get an update on the british holidaymakers staying at a quarantined hotel in tenerife from our correspondent fiona trott. And well also hear from sally challoner, who is outside a school in gloucestershire which has been closed until wednesday after a staff member tested positive for the virus. But first, lets get more now on the governments response from our Political Correspondent chris mason, who is in downing street for us. We have just been hearing that this is now the governments number one priority . Yes, i think it really is an can really tell from the language being used in government house, how seriously they take this now. This cobra meeting, the government civil contingencies Emergency Planning committee, gathering mid morning this morning, chaired by the Prime Minister, the chief medical officer will be there, the chief scientific adviser will be there. When you look at the briefing weve been given about the meeting and the language thatis about the meeting and the language that is being used, you get a real sense now that all of whitehall, the whole infrastructure, if you like, and the government of the and the nhs, will be focused on dealing with this. This mornings meeting will sign off, we are told, a battle plan containing a detailed set of countermeasures for dealing with coronavirus. There is an acceptance from the Prime Minister that there is little doubt, he says, that this will present a significant challenge for our country. The number of cases has been going up and is expected to go has been going up and is expected to 9 up has been going up and is expected to go up further. So, across the piece, planning is being put in place for dealing with this containment phase, at the moment, to try to minimise spread. That is something that they wa nt spread. That is something that they want individuals to care about, in terms of hand washing and self isolating for those who believe they may have symptoms. But also, for the government to work out what it will do in the coming weeks and months, if, and it remains an if, this outbreak was to get significant worse. Thank you, chris, good to talk to you. Lets speak now to fiona trott, who is outside the quarantined hotel in tenerife. Some people have been allowed to leave . Some people have been allowed to leave . Good morning. Thats right. Good morning. Some are already back in the uk. Some more are due to leave this afternoon. There have been challenges for people here at this hotel. Airlines say, we will fly you back if you have had a test for covid 19 and it is negative and you show no symptoms at the airport, but it has to be within a 24 hour window, because even though it is not detected, it cannot be passed on. For the guests here, what it appears they have to do is to try to identify a flight they can get on, back time it so that they can have the test within a 24 hour window, but they might not get their certificate to fly until they check out of the hotel. So they have to try and get a verbal confirmation so they can go ahead and book that flight. They can go ahead and book that flight. We have heard from some guests that they have not had verbal confirmation until 22 hours later, or not at all. So, there have been some challenges. However, some are already back in the uk. We believe around 25 left the hotel last night. More are due on a flight this afternoon. We have had a statement from the Holiday Company which says it is pleased to confirm that customers will be flying back to the uk with us, they say, on a dedicated flight this uk with us, they say, on a dedicated flight this afternoon. Subject to them showing no symptoms on departure. When they get back to the uk, they will still have to self isolate until ninth march. A Primary School in gloucestershire has confirmed one of its Staff Members has tested positive for coronavirus, after recently returning from a holiday to italy. Lets get the latest now from sally challoner, who is outside St Marys School in tetbury for us this morning. Sally, what more do we know . This is St Marys School in tetbury, it is going to be closed for at least two days after a member of staff here was tested positive for the coronavirus. They had been away on holiday to northern italy, not a school trip, they had gone in half term. A friend of theirs who had also gone on the trip was also tested positive. The school was closed, it has had a deep clean the although members that member of staff had been in the school last week. A couple of other local schools, including one in redding, have also closed after a member of staff there tested positive for coronavirus. Again, they had been away, not on a school trip. Another school nearby has also been closed asa school nearby has also been closed as a precaution because that member of staff had been there on a training day. In each case, the head teacher has been sending out letters to the parents explaining the situation. There are obvious risks ina primary situation. There are obvious risks in a Primary School like this, lots of Young Children playing together, infairly of Young Children playing together, in fairly close confinement, but as we say, the risks apparently are still very low but the schools remain closed for two days. 100 british negotiators are travelling to brussels to begin talks about a new trade deal with the eu. The first phase of discussions, which will also cover co operation on security and transport, is due to last four days. Joining us now from brussels is our correspondent adam fleming. Adam, weve talked to you so much, not for a while, and there is a sense that really hard work starts now . Yeah, and there are a lot of areas they are going to cover. It sta rts areas they are going to cover. It starts today at about lunchtime with the chief negotiators from the two sides, david frost from the uk and Michel Barnierfrom the eu, having a sort of general conversation. And then tomorrow morning, all the different teams will decamp to a Conference Centre in brussels because there are so many of them, they will not fit in the Eu Commission headquarters here. So they are going to be split into different working groups covering things like goods, services, energy, security, transport, although different types of trade, and then they will wrap up on thursday and we will then get a press conference from Michel Barnier which will be our first from Michel Barnier which will be ourfirst big from Michel Barnier which will be our first big sign about how well it has gone. There are still some big disagreements between the two sides, as they start off as. How much should this Free Trade Agreement refer to eu law and standards . What are they going to do about fishing . The uk has a very different vision for managing the relationship when it comes to fishing in each others fishing waters in the future. And also, sorry to use a technical word, governance how do you organise the agreement or agreements, how do you settle disputes between the two sides over the agreements . And is there a role for the European Court ofjustice . So, lots of stuff for them to talk about and for us to gossip about for the next couple of months. The big moment, though, is going to be june, months. The big moment, though, is going to bejune, when everyone will get together and see how things have gone and whether they a man thought to be a front runner to contest donald trump in the upcoming president ial elections, has announced hes to end his bid for the white house. Th former indiana mayor, Pete Buttigieg was the first openly gay candidate to run a major president ial campaign. Hed enjoyed a meteoric rise from virtual unknown to a leading contender for the democratic partys nomination, but his support had waned in recent weeks. And see how things have gone and whether they should carry on. Very who is quite glad that he has pulled out hes not listening like my french oral exam at school, say it with confidence and hopefully it works scientists believe they have discovered the reason why dogs have such cold, wet noses. Its so they can function as heat detectors. A study published in the scientific reports journal says the tip of a dogs snout can detect the warmth of a small mammal from around five feet away but it must be kept cool to work properly. Vampire bats and pit vipers have the same skill. That is some handy knowledge but you will remember that, i will probably not i will file that under nose news, for ever have a back. It isa nose news, for ever have a back. It is a chilly start but at least we have lost the strong winds. It was the wettest february on record. Heading into march, things are looking a bit quieter and calmer. There is some sunshine and showers around. This is the radar image which shows an area of rain which will be clearing away from the south east over the next few hours. But more wintry showers coming in from the north west. Some of them will be fairly heavy in scotland. Falling as snow over Higher Ground. For Northern Ireland some rain and sleet. Further south and east, you are more likely to stage dry during the day. Temperatures, around 7 10. This evening, we will see the shower is up this evening, we will see the shower isupa this evening, we will see the shower is up a little bit. Some of them will be heavy and wintry across central and western scotland. There will be further blustery showers across Northern Ireland and a few of those showers will work into western parts of england and wales in the evening. Further east, you have got clear skies as we head towards the end of the day. Overnight, some of the heavy showers will work further south and east. With temperatures down to freezing or even a bit below, there could be some icy stretches and some frost around tomorrow morning. For the week ahead, not completely dry. It will be that mix of sunshine and showers, but it will be less windy. It will feel quite chilly, particularly overnight, but most of us will be fairly pleased to hear that some dry weather is at least on the cards. There could be a bit of rain on wednesday and friday, but the flooding situation should start to improve over the next few days. Last year, hundreds of sub postmasters people who run post Office Branches were vindicated by the high court. For years, theyd wrongly been accused of stealing money. Now, over 50 cases of possible wrongful prosecutions are being looked into. Heres what happened. Between the years 1999 and 2000, the post office rolled out a Computer System called horizon. It was first reported in 2004 that computer problems could be behind financial shortfalls being recorded in local post offices. But in 2009, it was revealed that a number of sub postmasters across the uk had been held responsible and prosecuted, with some receiving prison terms. Last year, more than 550 people brought a class action against the post office, costing millions of pounds. And finally, in december, the High Court Ruled that the horizon Computer System had contained a number of defects that caused the shortfalls, and that sub postmasters were not to blame. Breakfasts Nina Warhurst has been meeting some of those who are now fighting to clear their names. When the judge said this sentence, i was just lost. Im thinking, im not going to give birth in a prison. I was thinking, this is, like, a nightmare, just a bad dream. Just a bad dream, i will wake up and everything will be fine. Sorry. Its ok, its ok. Yeah, i used to own that one. We felt so proud, we felt that we had accomplished. Exciting. Very exciting. It was short lived excitement. Cant even look at the sign. Sorry. Its the kind of story that sounds like it belongs to fiction hundreds of men and women who ran small post offices accused of theft, accused of fraud. They lost their reputations, some of them lost their homes, they lost their life savings. Those who went to prison lost their freedom. We must have justice for the postmasters and post mistresses. This is a national scandal. Get to the bottom of the issue, we must. Years later, a judge would conclude they werent to blame. 20 years ago, the post office introduced a Computer System called horizon. Very quickly, sub postmasters were reporting problems, things werent adding up, there were big shortfalls. But the post office stood by their system and began prosecuting their staff. Seema was tried byjury in 2010 after an audit found a £74,000 shortfall in her accounts. Even on the judgment day, i didnt bring my bag, they said to me to bring the bag, so i said, why should i . Because i wouldnt get a sentence. Because definitely, why would somebody do that . Because, why would i get a sentence when i havent done anything wrong . I wouldnt be sent away. But you were for how long . 15 months, on my sons tenth birthday. On my sons tenth birthday, it was 15 months. Sorry. And youd just found out that you were pregnant . Yes, after being trying for the last eight years. I was so, so, so scared of my babys health. What if somebody come and stab me, because the people were self harming then, the people were having drug issues and all that. I was scared. But it kept me going if i didnt have another life inside me, i would have done something to myself. So, you came out of prison when you were six months pregnant but had to wear a tag. For good behaviour, i was released early. But the moment when i went into labour, that was the most embarrassing moment. Because, with the tag on, what would they be thinking, what kind of mother i am . So you tried to be invisible . Oh, yes. To the extreme, for the youngest one, for the eight years, we didnt celebrate any of his birthday. I wanted to protect my kids. You know, theyre so talented, theyre so talented, but i did not want them to feel ashamed that im their mother. Sorry. Youve missed out on so much. All of those moments that youre supposed to have with your baby, with your little boys, those birthday parties, hanging out with friends, friends coming over for tea. No, all lost. All lost. Seema thought she was alone. So did hundreds like her. But it later transpired that sub postmasters across the country had been raising concerns with the post office. In 2006, jos life was turned upsidedown and she was accused of taking £36,000 from the village shop she ran in hampshire. I am not the kind of person that would have a breakdown but i was probably as close as you would ever get to one. Ijust didnt know, i had no idea what was going on. Ijust sat there in the end just crying, almost, like, numb with it. Id borrowed money from the house, basically, id remortgaged and put £9,000 in, because every time there was a big discrepancy, i knew i couldnt be out, and i was literally shovelling money into the post office. You were advised to plead guilty, there was a plea bargain made, and they said, look, to keep you out of prison, plead guilty. Talk us through that, standing in a court room. Pleading guilty to something you hadnt done. And they said, well, if you plead guilty, it will halve the sentence. And you might not go to prison. So. So, you had to stand there and plead guilty. And plead guilty. 14 times it got read out and 14 times i had to plead guilty. You just wanted to scream, but id been told that i had to look like i was sorry and. And ijust couldnt explain it, the whole thing was crazy. Part of the Ripple Effect of being a convicted criminal is, there are certain jobs you cant do, but you werent allowed to be left alone with your granddaughter in her class, were you . My little granddaughter, yeah, its things like that, you just think, oh, its a criminal record, but actually, theres things that you cant do that you should be able to do. Weve all been, like, pillars of the community, and weve been treated like, well, like criminals. But then, in december last year. Hundreds of former sub postmasters accused of stealing from the post office say theyve been vindicated following a High Court Ruling that the Computer System they had to use was flawed. A high courtjudge found there were significant defects in the horizon system, likely to have caused the shortfalls. Jo and seema and hundreds like them were told they could now walk with their heads held high. Ijust felt, i am not going mad. You know, we didnt imagine this, it really did happen, it wasnt our fault. You lost your parents in that time, before the december ruling, and you made them a promise, didnt you . Yeah, both of them, i made a promise that i would never stop fighting until i cleared my name. I miss them terribly. When we have little landmark moments, i always have a little tea, have a little tear, and i will look up and say, yeah, still going. So, yeah, the day will come eventually when we clear our names criminally, and, yeah, ill have done myjob then. The post office has admitted it made mistakes but says its learned lessons and agreed to a £58 million settlement, though much of that will go on legalfees. There are growing calls now for an independent investigation into what went wrong, something the Prime Minister indicated could happen. Will the Prime Minister today commit to launching an independent inquiry . Im happy to commit to getting to the bottom of the matter in the way that she recommends. But seema and jo are still convicted criminals, still unable to find jobs, still living in the shadow of shame. Theyjoin 54 others in waiting for the criminal Case Review Commission to unpick what exactly happened and decide whether to overturn their convictions. This is, they say, the biggest ever case of its kind. Through the agony of losing so much, the friendships that have been gained are now deeply cherished. Well get there in the end. In the end. But more than ten years of their lives have been lost. That was Nina Warhurst reporting. You can understand why they want to have their names cleared, and we will stay with that story, we will keep talking to them on bbc brea kfast keep talking to them on bbc breakfast over the next few months. And a big thank you to everybody who took part in that report. Storm dennis brought widespread flooding and disruption to wales. Now, weather experts are warning that was just a taste of things to come. Homes and businesses have been left with thousands of pounds worth of damage. But a leading meteorologist has told the bbc that the government was warned to prepare for more frequent flooding four years ago. Wyre davies reports. The floods that tore through these communities have left devastation in their wake and residents driven from their homes. A man in his 90s rescued by stretcher on his birthday. A young woman almost drowned in her bed by rising water levels. People are shell shocked. Im surprised that, you know, everybody survived, because the water came in so quick and a lot of people were surprised so quickly, a lot of people could have drowned. Lives and livelihoods were completely overwhelmed as the river taff burst its banks. Rising waters at this car showroom and that hundreds showroom meant that hundreds of vehicles were written off. Businesses like this Furniture Store in pontypridd were cleaned out. This will cost thousands to replace, and unlike some big stores, theyre not covered. The damage isntjust financial. Insurance was due for renewal recently. The flood cover was removed by the Insurance Company so weve had to renew with no flood cover. Im not sleeping right at the moment. Theres a lot of stress, there is a lot of worry. Ive spent two years building up from nothing. There was nothing in here. Its a new business and its all gone. The council is giving flooded businesses £1000 each to get them back on their feet. The Welsh Government has promised £10 million towards emergency help. But its nowhere near enough. Lives have been turned upside down in communities like this. The human cost is clear. But it could cost hundreds of millions of pounds to clear up and repair the damage to homes, businesses and communities. But there were warnings that this wasnt going to be a one off, that this is the shape of things to come. So, just how prepared are we . A leading meteorologist says the authorities were warned to be prepared for the worst in a report on Climate Change four years ago after floods in 2015. These used to be maybe one in 100 year events, one in a generation events, now theyre happening probably once every five years, theyre happening on a much more frequent basis. And that frequency will probably continue to increase as we go forward in time. So, youre talking about nearly a 40 to 50 increase in the amount of water thats coming down these valleys into these river flows compared to what we saw during some extreme rainfall events at the end of 2015. That should ring a lot of alarm bells in political circles, shouldnt it . Absolutely. I mean, the evidences here, were seeing it here and now, not just. The report was talking about what might happen in the future, we are seeing it playing out in reality. There are other consequences. There are more landslides and earth movements in these valleys than anywhere else in the uk. A legacy of coal mining. And increased rainfall can make disused coal tips unstable. Now is the time to definitely re evaluate where we are and using new technology, like laser surveying, and do a re evaluation of the valleys and identify these old tips and evaluate them all one by one. As the clean up continues, the Welsh Government says that addressing the issues around Climate Change is a priority. The warning signs are there. More rainfall and flooding is inevitable. How will we deal with it when the next deluge comes . Wyre davies, bbc news. Lots coming up, weve got some very interesting guests for you. If you watched mcdonald and dodds on itv last night, jason watkins, who plays one of the detectives, is going to be with us. And a new boy band. Boyzone, another level, five, have combined to form a supergroup and they going on tour. The new supergroup are going to be here on the sofa to tell us about how they got together. And were going to talk to somebody who was called the gatekeeper because showers the person, if you wanted an appointment with david cameron, you had to go through her. The gatekeeper, that was also something on ghostbusters. The stuff you remember is beyond me where do these stairs go . They go i good morning. Its been a rather chilly start out there this morning. Weve had some frost and a bit of ice across Northern Areas of the uk. Some rain across the south and while there is some rain in the forecast throughout this week, its not quite as wet as its been recently, not as windy, either. But it will continue to feel quite chilly with some frost at night. Now, through today, weve got low pressure towards the north west, and thats giving us the north westerly airstream, and that brings in some showers. But the wind still only a bit strong across scotland and Northern Ireland, that will continue to feed in these showers, turning wintry again over Higher Ground. Early morning rain across the south east of england, that clears away and then we are left with lots of sunshine for england and wales, eastern scotland, southern scotland, and through Northern Ireland. Maximum temperatures will be getting up to about 7 to 9, maybe even 10 celsius in the south east. Through tonight, not a great deal of change, well continue with those showers across Northern Areas. Again, temperatures falling away. The risk of some ice again in these northern parts as we go into tuesday morning, temperatures here down to 1, 2 celsius, still quite chilly further south. There could be a touch of frost for some of us first thing tomorrow morning. Not a great deal of change tomorrow, still that area of low pressure towards the north of scotland, again, just bringing in some showers throughout the course of the day. Those showers could, at times, be a little bit heavy, especially towards the north and the west of the uk and some of those showers drift their way further south and east, but, again, there will be some spells of sunshine for many of us throughout the day on tuesday. Maximum temperatures will be, again, around about 6 to 9, maybe even 10 degrees, once again. Now, into wednesday, we could see some rain across the far south of england, that could drift its way further north. Some uncertainty on that at the moment, but generally speaking, wednesday quite showery, particularly in Northern Areas. Largely dry on thursday with some sunny spells. By friday and the end of the week, it could turn a bit more unsettled. Bye for now. This is worklife from bbc news, with Sally Bundock and karin giannone.
