Evacuation flight for Britons on Diamond Princess lands in UK

The Foreign Office said 32 British and European passengers - who have been quarantined on the liner for 16 days - were on board.
The flight landed at Boscombe Down, an airbase in Wiltshire, after leaving Tokyo late on Friday night.
The group will travel on coaches to Arrowe Park hospital in Wirral, where they will spend 14 days in quarantine.
The passengers have so far tested negative for Covid-19, the illness brought on by coronavirus.
The flight took off from Tokyo’s Haneda Airport late on Friday evening (GMT) and landed at Boscombe Down, a Ministry of Defence base in Wiltshire, about 11:30 GMT on Saturday.
Sadly:
David and Sally Abel, a couple from Northamptonshire who were diagnosed with coronavirus on the cruise ship and who are being treated for the virus in health facilities in Japan, have since been told they have pneumonia, their son said.
Appearing alongside wife Roberta, Steve Abel said in a YouTube video late on Friday evening that his father’s condition was “very serious”, while his mother has a more mild form of pneumonia.
He also said his “really distressed” parents - who had been on the cruise for their 50th wedding anniversary - called him to say they were being moved to a different hospital.
Mr Abel said: “They’ve gone from being told that they’re going to have all these wonderful treatments, and ‘we’re going to wait over the next two or three days just to see how they respond to the treatments’, and now all of a sudden they’re being told ‘we have to move you to a different hospital’.”
He said his father is so “weak” he has been using a wheelchair, and has been told he could be put on a ventilator.
The Foreign Office said the welfare of all British nationals is of the highest priority to the UK government.
They added they are working with the Japanese authorities to ensure those British nationals who are remaining in Japan for health reasons get the best possible care.
