victoria gill, bbc news, jordan. scientists in south america have unearthed the fossils of a giant turtle that was as big as a car. the discovery gives new insight into a reptile that could grow up to four metres in length — and weigh more than a ton. and it seems this particular turtle was built for battle. the bbc‘s tim allman reports. they don't make turtle shells like this any more. and they haven't for the best part of 7 million years. these are the fossilised remains of stupendemys geographicus, the stupendous turtle, one of the biggest of all time. how big you may ask? perhaps this image will give you a sense of scale. and this is an artist impression of what the giant turtle may have looked like in the wild. notice what appeared to be horns at the front of its shell. scientists believe these may be used as a weapon as male turtles competed over territory and meeting rights. it is thought that this stupendemys geographicus roamed late south america 7 million years ago. it lived in a giant wetland system sp

victoria gill, bbc news, jordan. british art teacher michael hope spent over a year teaching teenagers in wuhan. when he left wuhan for the uk in the chinese new year, he had heard of a "mysterious" virus going around, but had little idea of its extent given the limited information available and that he speaks no mandarin. after arriving in the uk with some symptoms, he was quarantined for more than 24 hours until he tested negative for the coronavirus. he shared his experience of being in the isolation room. well, it was simply — a friend said in passing that seven people had gotten ill in a market and that was said in passing. there wasn't anything major. not a major conversation and then we moved on to the next chat. so i didn't really understand the severity of what was happening until i went to the train station in wuhan to get a train to shanghai and head back to england. it sounds like you weren't really aware of this outbreak and, as you say, it was just before chinese new year and you left in mid—january
