Coronavirus: Hong Kong to restrict border travel as virus spreads

106 people have now died in China, with confirmed infections surging to over 4,500.

Hong Kong has announced plans to restrict cross-border travel between the city and mainland China as the new coronavirus continues to spread. High-speed trains and ferries that cross the border will be suspended from Thursday. More than 100 people have now died in China, with authorities confirmed infections surging to more than 4,500. We speak to people inside Wuhan and Hong Kong to hear what's happening.

Also, the US President Donald Trump is meeting Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussing the details of a peace plan between the Israelis and Palestinians. We explain what this could mean and get analysis from our correspondents.

And the hashtag #GirlDad has been trending on Twitter. Dads have been posting photos with their daughters, remembering American basketball legend Kobe Bryant, who died along with his daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash. We bring together some dads to reflect on what it's like bringing up girls.
