More than a hundred people have now died in the coronavirus outbreak.

China's National Immigration Administration said the recommendation is meant to protect the lives and health of Chinese citizens and foreigners. 106 people have died of coronavirus in China so far. Nationally, the number of confirmed cases has soared to more than 4500.

Also on the programme, what can we expect from Donald Trump's long awaited Middle East peace plan? And film director Armando Ianucci discusses the multi-racial cast of his new film The Personal History Of David Copperfield and explains why Dickens is the perfect writer for the 21st Century.
