Four more cases of coronavirus are confirmed in the uk, one of them at a gps practice in brighton, which has now been closed. Cleaning the Health Centre in protective experts say there is a window of opportunity to detain the disease. The detection could become the spark toa the detection could become the spark to a biggerfire, but for now it is only a spark. As the number of confirmed cases in the uk rises to eight, the government has acted to stop people in quarantine being able to leave before 1a days is up. Also tonight. There is no attack at all. A man is convicted of planning terror strikes on key london sites just over a year after being cleared of a sword attack outside buckingham palace. Clearing up yet again people across Northern England frustrated and angry as flood defences fail once more, this time due to storm ciara. And the oscar goes to. Parasite. And the south korean dark comedy parasite makes history by being the first Foreign Language film to win best picture. And in sportsday at 6 30, englands women thrash scotland in snowy conditions in edinburgh in the womens six nations, a day after storm ciara postponed their initial match. Good evening. A gp practice in brighton has been closed temporarily after a member of staff tested positive for coronavirus. Patients at the practice have been advised to contact the nhs111 phone service if they have concerns about their health. It comes as four new cases of coronavirus in the uk were confirmed today, bringing the total to eight. The government has moved to ensure that anyone in england whos in quarantine for the virus cant just leave, by declaring it a serious and imminent threat to public health. Globally, thereve now been more than 40,000 cases of the virus, mostly in china, and more than 900 people have died. Heres our medical correspondent fergus walsh. This is not wuhan, but brighton, where an entire medical centre and pharmacy are being deep cleaned after two Health Care Staff tested positive for the new coronavirus, along with two other people in brighton. They were all in contact with a businessman who got
infected in singapore. Before returning to brighton, he went skiing in france, not knowing he was infected. Its thought he passed on the virus to around a dozen people, all without going anywhere near china. The detection of this small number of cases could be the spark that becomes a biggerfire. But, for now, it is only a spark. Our objective remains containment. The longer this outbreak goes on, the more scientists are learning about the new coronavirus. The latest estimates suggest it kills around one in 100 people who are infected. That compares with one in ten people who died from sars in 2003. But even though the new coronavirus is much less deadly, the death toll has already exceeded that of sars, now more than 900, compared to 774 for sars. The reason is that this
virus is so mild for huge numbers of people that, unlike sars, most of those affected never need hospital treatment. And this allows it to spread more effectively in the community. So, how bad could it get if the virus starts spreading widely in the uk . Well, its very hard to know. But seasonal flu in england alone kills between 10,000 and 30,000 people each year. Most, but not all over the age of 65. Nearly 200 britons have been repatriated from wuhan since the end ofjanuary, and are in quarantine in Milton Keynes and merseyside. At the weekend, one person threatened to abscond from arrow park hospital, so emergency regulations have been brought in, allowing forcible detention. But most seem happy with the conditions. There are all sorts of games available, weve obviously got tvs, weve got access to the internet,
netflix. So, all of these Different Things that are actually available to us do help to make this feel not like we are stuck in quarantine. In wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak, the growth in new cases has started to slow. But its too early to know whether this epidemic can largely be contained in china. Fergus walsh, bbc news. 0ur Health Editor hugh pym is at the county 0ak medical centre in brighton. Four new cases in the uk today, but are the authorities confident that their moves to prevent the spread working . Well, one reason this gp practice has temporarily closed today is so that health care workers, who have been working with the individual, a gpi been working with the individual, a gp i understand, that these workers have been able to go home themselves and self isolate in case they
develop symptoms. Public Health England say they have been urgently trying to trace patients who have come into contact with the gp and another local gp, who has also contracted the virus, who is one of the four, trying to trace patients and other nhs workers. But they say they are relatively few in number. 0ne reassuring aspect is these are not random, isolated cases in different parts of the country, they are all traceable to the single individual who came back from singapore with the virus. It shows the benefits of Contact Tracing. They were able to get in touch with all these people who had been in contact themselves with the man who came back from singapore and quickly advise them and got them tested. They say that is the benefit of their Contact Tracing expertise. Whew, many thanks. Well, china, where the coronavirus outbreak originated, has been counting the cost of the disease. Chinas leader xi jinping said his government will work to prevent large scale layoffs. Many in china were due to return to work today after the Lunar New Year holiday, but much of the country remains closed to contain the virus spread. The Economic Cost has mounted as shutdowns in the country continue to disrupt Global Supply chains. 0ur economics editor faisal islam reports. It should be back to work in china, after celebrating chinese new year, tens of millions of workers were expecting to have returned to the cities and factories, one of the fundamental drivers of the world economy. But the commute so far is quieter than usual and in the offices that are reopening, it is anything but normal. Translation 0ur anything but normal. Translation our company has adopted special measures, including sanitising every day. The building is in isolation, we are required to wear masks the whole day while at work. In the shops, food prices have surged, up 20 on last january. Pork prices have more than doubled, at the same
time the economy is slowing. The actual Economic Impact will depend on the Global Health impact. What we do know is the virus and measures to contain it, have led to many factories remaining closed today that should have reopened by now. Slowing chinese demand for luxury goods and crude oil, as well as reduced chinese tourism abroad, and some supply chains with key parts manufactured in china are broken, with many businesses seeking alternatives, for example in vietnam. The already weak chinese economy is expected to see the slowest three months in over a decade, possibly a contraction, and that could be the same for the entire world economy, and immediate global hit worth over £200 million. It is expected this will be made up over the rest of the year when, or if, things get back to normal. That can be seen in yorkshire, in this factory dependent on components shipped in from closed plants at the
centre of the outbreak. We have been able to find alternative sources for materials, but because we need them quickly now there are price implications and some of that has been as much as three times the original cost. There has been major disruption likely to delay the recovery in an already fragile world economy. President xijinping, appearing in beijing in a protective mask, says if the virus is contained, the impact should be temporary. But that is not certain right now. But that is not certain right now. A 58 year old man has died after a tree fell on his car in hampshire during storm ciara yesterday. The storm brought flooding and severe gales and its after effects were felt throughout the day with delays on the roads, railways, and at airports. The government is promising emergency cash to help with the clear up emergency cash to help with the clearup in the emergency cash to help with the clear up in the areas worst affected by flooding. Danny savage reports. Yet again, the towns and villages
of calderdale, in west yorkshire, are clearing up after a flood. Its the third time in less than a decade that mytholmroyd has been swamped and people are angry. The whole thing, all that, right back as far as you can see, was a lake yesterday. Roger barr has now seen his house destroyed twice. No ones ever knocked on my door in seven years, to come and see whats happening. I had to buy another house, same size, but higher up. And i dont know whats going to happen with this. So you just feel abandoned by the authorities . Abandoned, yeah. New flood defences are being built here, but they were no good yesterday. So, a decision now has to be made whetherjust to check everything out or to try and clean up and salvage. Youve seen how the water came up to this level. The same family has run this Hardware Store for 30 years. But this weekend was the final straw. We were on camera in 2015. We said if it ever happened again, we were going to call it a day. And were going to call it a day. Itsjust not a little bit of a mess youve got to clean up. The walls want drying, everythings. Imjust so mad. Its annoying. Nikki morris house merged with the neighbouring river and canal. She filmed this from her front door. Today, she is resigned to another lengthy clear up. I hate it, being here now. At this very moment in time, i dont want to be here at all. Ive got my house up for sale, i have done for a few months. But thats not going to happen now, is it . Further south, in hampshire, a 58 year old man was killed when a tree fell on his car on the a33. Many Train Services have been cancelled. In glasgow, passengers were put on buses instead. In the borders, this 200 year old guesthouse in hawick collapsed into the river. Back in hebden bridge,
the full extent of the damage could be seen from the air. The problem here is that people have lost all faith in the authorities to defend this valley from floods. Danny savage, bbc news, west yorkshire. A man has been convicted of planning a terror attack at london Tourist Attractions and events just over a year after he was cleared of attacking police with a sword outside buckingham palace. 28 year old musa chowdhury, from luton, was arrested a few days before a gay pride parade in london last summer. Hell be sentenced at a later date. June kelly reports. A summer evening and a security alert right outside buckingham palace. Musa chowdhury has stopped his car. He is armed with a sword and he injures two officers, shouting allahu akbar. At his original trial, choudhury claimed this was a suicide attempt. He said he wanted the police to kill him. He was found not guilty of planning a terror attack. Chowdhury lived here in luton with his family. Within days of being cleared by a jury over what had happened at buckingham palace, he was on the internet and social media, showing an extremist mindset. He quickly became the target of an undercover operation, involving the police and the Security Service m15. Listening devices were planted in his home and in his car. Over a six month operation, officers were wired and secretly recording chowdhury. They had gone into the takeaway where he worked, posing as customers, and befriended him. He divulged to them how hed lied to the jury at his first trial, and was trying to carry out a terror attack at buckingham palace, and he outlined his plans to do it again. He talked of a van attack at the gay pride parade in london. His other potential targets
were Tourist Attractions in the capital, including madame tussauds. Musa chowdhury is an exceptionally dangerous individual. The evidence of this trial demonstrated his clear intention to murder as many people as he could, and potentially to die in that attempt. He had made a list of his priorities for his life after death in paradise. At number seven was meeting allah. Number two was meeting all wives, and naming and choosing the main two. So anything you want to ask, i can answer it honestly. He was arrested a few days before the pride parade because it was feared he would attack it. Because there is no attack planning at all. Right, 0k. I have already been in prison. I dont want to go back there. At his home, police found a knife under his mattress. There were also two training swords, which had been bought from the bank account of his younger sister, sneha chowdhury. He was recorded telling her he needs to practice decapitation techniques. She has now been found guilty
of failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism. Musa chowdury, the extremist who bragged about beating the system, has now been brought tojustice. So too has his sister, who did nothing to stop his murderous plan. June kelly, bbc news at Woolwich Crown court. Our top story this evening. Four more cases of coronavirus are confirmed in the uk, one of them at a gps practice in brighton which has now been closed. Skill to come, the south korean film parasite wins big at the oscars. Coming up in sportsday in 15 minutes, scotland coach Gregor Townsend says its unlikely fly half finn russell will return in the near future after he was dropped for the six nations for breaching team protocol. Vulnerable people who search the internet for advice on how to kill themselves must be better protected, so says the charity the samaritans. Theyre both responding to the death of callie lewis, who under nhs care, but took her own life afterjoining a Suicide Forum online, where she found detailed advice on how to kill herself. Callie, who was 2a, autistic and suffering from Mental Health problems, was still posting to the site in the moments before her death. Ellie flynn from bbc panorama has this report. You know why i am making a video, because i like making videos. This is cali lewis. I dont get humans at all. They are really weird. If people talk to me, it must be like trying to talk to spock or Something Like that. She was autistic and struggled with depression. She sometimes thought about suicide, but
herfamily said sometimes thought about suicide, but her family said they would always get her through it. But then in the summer get her through it. But then in the summer of 2018, her Mental Health took a turn for the worse. After trying to take her own life, callie turned to the internet for advice. She found a Suicide Forum with over 10,000 members. In the six weeks before her death, callie posted almost 200 messages to the site. We are not going to name the site because it contains extremely harmful content, but it was a chat forum where she would post anonymously. In one of the first post she left she said, im glad i found this, as it feels near impossible to discuss suicide openly. In another one, she asks for advice on how to fool the Mental Health staff. An actor is reading her messages. Any advice for the crisis team . I am seeing them in two hours. You need to play along and pretend it was just a passing hours. You need to play along and pretend it wasjust a passing cloud and you are getting better. She convinced the Mental Health team she had no immediate plans to kill
herself. In fact, she found a method on the forum and made detailed plans to run away and end her life. Callies mother, sarah, believes her daughter could still be alive today if it wasnt for the forum. Daughter could still be alive today if it wasnt for the forumlj daughter could still be alive today if it wasnt for the forum. I think they are kidding themselves if they think that actually these are helpful forums. Because i think that actually these are helpfulforums. Because i think without those forums, i think my daughter would have really struggled. To find the information she was looking for. About how to die. We wanted to challenge the owners of the website. They wouldnt appear on camera. Owners of the website. They wouldnt appearon camera. In owners of the website. They wouldnt appear on camera. In our conversation, they told us. We offer a space to discuss the topic offer a space to discuss the topic of suicide without censorship. Our community and website does not encourage suicide. That is strictly against the rules. When i asked if it was harmful to provide Vulnerable People with detailed suicide methods, they said, information is power. What you do with it is your
responsibility. Later, a senior coroner investigated callies death and raised concerns over the suicide website callie had accessed, and that it could contribute to further deaths. The website is based on the us. The government have formed a partnership of Suicide Prevention experts working with online companies. One of them is the samaritans. We think there may a lwa ys samaritans. We think there may always be individuals who are posting harmful content. We dont wa nt posting harmful content. We dont want that popping up on the first pages of searches. If we cant get rid of it, lets try and bury it and make it difficult to find four people. But any reforms will come too late for callie and her family. That report was by ellie flynn.

Campaigners are making an 11th hour bid to stop the deportation to jamaica of 50 people described by the government as serious criminals. Critics of the governments plan claim many of them came to the uk as children, and should have the right to stay here despite their crimes. Lets speak to adina campbell, whos at the high court for us this evening. Adina, whats the latest . Well, this is still very much up in the airat well, this is still very much up in the air at the moment. Tonight, we have seen a sealed document showing that some of the legal applications to try to stop this flight going ahead have been refused by a judge here at the high court. Thats affecting about a third of people due to be on board the flight tomorrow. This flight, of course, has caused widespread controversy. Campaigners and families saying that these people are being treated unfairly. But the home office had
been very clear. They say these latest deportees are guilty of serious crimes, and have been convicted of things such as rape and manslaughter. In terms of what happens next, well, we could see more legal challenges mounted overnight, may be entered tomorrow morning. It looks like at this stage the flights will still go ahead. Many thanks. Sinn fein has hailed early results from irelands general election after it topped the poll ahead of the two main parties which have dominated irish politics for decades. Sinn fein, led by mary lou macdonald, won the most first preference votes in irelands proportional voting system. But it fielded fewer candidates than its rivals, and so is unlikely to be the Largest Party in parliament. Micheal martin, who leads fianna fail presently in second place hasnt ruled out working with sinn fein, but said significa nt incompatibilities still exist. But the Prime Minister leo varadkar who leads fine gael has said he wont go into coalition with sinn fein because of its past links with the ira. Emma vardy reports. Something new has swept through ireland. Voters flocking to sinn fein in greater numbers than anyone predicted. A party followed by the shadows of its past. Now appealing to Younger Voters looking at their future. In Mary Lou Mcdonalds dublin constituency the leader of sinn fein the cost of living is sky high. Its impossible. Like, im just over 30. Out of my friend group, one person has a house. For daniel, who converted a garage to afford a place to live, the sinn fein breakthrough is a welcome change. In a city with a housing crisis, the party promised rent freezes and more homes. Most people pay an exorbitant amount of rent. Theyve no prospect of living in the city or within an hour of the city, and i think that has been the real failure of politics in the last 20 years in ireland. Do you think the image of sinn fein is changing . Yeah, like, they dont shy away from the fact they were involved
in the conflict in Northern Ireland. That now is in the distant past for most young people, you know . Its not something thats in most peoples memories if theyre under 30. As no one has a majority, some form of coalition will have to be agreed. Today sinn fein said they want to try to join forces with smaller parties. People want different politics, new politics and better government, a new government, and i believe sinn fein will be the core of that. But ireland has many voters who could never have envisaged this outcome. Absolutely disgusted theyre getting in. Its their philosophy, their whole philosophy the republicanism and the violence that went behind it. Last night, triumphant sinn fein supporters caused controversy at a count centre, celebrating their electoral success with an old rebel song synonymous with the ira. Nearly all the seats now declared, the current irish Prime MinisterLeo VaradkarsParty Projected to have been
pushed into third place, its highly likely ireland will have a new leader in future, but who it will be is unclear. After irelands political storm, it may take weeks to settle on a way ahead. Emma vardy, bbc news, dublin. History was made at the oscars last night, where for the first time in the awards 92 year history a Foreign Language film won best picture. The south korean black comedy parasite picked up a host of other awards too, including best director. Our arts editor, will gompertz, is in hollywood this evening. What started out as quite an ordinary night, in oscars terms, turned out to be an extraordinary night, as parasite not only won best Foreign Language film, which was expected, but bong joon ho got best director, then it won best picture, the first time a Foreign Language film has done that. I think it suggests that hollywood is actually
changing. It is becoming a little bit more inclusive, albeit quite slowly. And the oscar goes to. It was a good night for. Parasite. The south korean film about social inequality became the first film not in the english language to win the prestigious best picture oscar. We never imagined this to ever happen. We are so happy. I feel like a very opportune moment in history is happening right now. Its director and creator, bong joon ho, became the first south korean to win best original screenplay and the first south korean to win best director. The most personal is the most creative. That quote was from the great martin scorsese. Applause. That got a standing ovation. He then announced his plans for the rest of the evening. I am ready to drink tonight. Laughter. Until next morning thank you. Parasite was the story of a night that was otherwise largely predictable. Tonight we celebrate all the amazing wbr id wbr15660 talent in this room. Janelle monae opened the show with a couple of numbers and a comment on diversity. And im so proud to stand here as a black, queer artist telling a story. Comedian chris rock followed her lead. Cynthia did such a greatjob in harriet hiding black people that the academy got her to hide all the black nominees. And so, with the elephants in the room banished for this year at least the real business of dishing out golden statues got under way. Renee zellweger won best actress for playing a vulnerable judy garland in judy. And Joaquin Phoenix picked up the best actor oscar for his intense performance in joker. I have been a scoundrel in my life. Ive been selfish, ive been cruel at times, hard to work with, and im grateful that so many of you in this room have given me a second chance. Brad pitt won his first acting oscar for once upon a time in hollywood. To stand here now, once b
upon a time in hollywood aint that the truth. Laura dern won best supporting actress wbrid wbr16260 for marriage story. There were british successes. Eltonjohn and Bernie Taupin won the original song category. Jacqueline durran picked up the costume design award for little women, and cinematographer Roger Deakins took home an oscar for his work on 1917. But the night belonged to parasite and its popular self effacing director, bong joon ho. Will gompertz, bbc news, hollywood. Time for a look at the weather. Heres nick miller. Storm kero may have moved away, but disruption continues. Especially in the form of some snow for some of us. This is how nottinghamshire looked for a time this afternoon. The storm is now out on scandinavia, but the flow of one behind it is a warmer one, it is still windy out there. On that flow, in the blue, there. On that flow, in the blue, there are these snow showers around, possibly just about anywhere. This is how this week is looking. It is
staying windy, just not as windy as it was with storm ciara. Plenty of showers on the way, particularly, but not exclusively so on northern hills, feeling cold in the wind. A lot of showers out there, most of the snow showers will be over the hills overnight, Northern England, Northern Ireland and scotland, but to quite low levels at times. The heaviest snow showers, the difficult trouble conditions for tonight and tomorrow morning, i see here as temperatures for close to freezing. Tomorrow, the lions share of the showers will be through Northern Ireland, Northern England and scotland. You can see the snow from these, piling up more in the higher ground, drifting in the wind. Hail and thunder possible for some other showers. Not too many further south across england and wales. Where they are, they will push through quite quickly, because the wind is still gusty. Some sunshine in the east and south east of england, where some stay dry. Wherever you are, it is
feeling cold, particularly where we have the snow showers over northern hills. A bit of a break on wednesday. Another area of low pressure on thursday. More rain and hill snow in the north. And other weather front coming through on friday, youll getting the idea, more wet and windy weather during the weekend. We will follow that through the week. There are weather warnings and flood warnings as well. Details on the website. Thats all from the bbc news at six so its goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbcs news teams where you are.
