ofthe of the city centre, partially part of the city centre, partially in defiance of the far right who are renewing their attempts to exploit this day of commemoration for their own purposes, the political party afd for example in this part of the country, is very keen to change what it called germany's culture of shame over its world war ii history. but many of those people will be joining hands in acknowledgement too that germany bears hands in acknowledgement too that germany bea rs not hands in acknowledgement too that germany bears not only are historic but ongoing responsibility to ensure that the atrocities of the second world war are never repeated. you linejenny hill, world war are never repeated. you line jenny hill, thank world war are never repeated. you linejenny hill, thank you. time for a look at the weather. here's stav. we have endured storm ciara and now we have to embrace ourselves for dennis? indeed, more wet and windy weather is on the cards, could bring disruption. we had an area of low pressure that brought gales to southern britain, you can see in

jersey a stormy sea front in st helier and some snow as the rain move northwards. we saw recovering across parts of north—east england and southern scotland, all down to this area of low pressure moving on before another one moves in for late on friday and then we see storm dennis over the weekend. that low pressure system is clearing away into the north sea. it's taking the heavy showers with some rumbles of thunderfrom heavy showers with some rumbles of thunder from the south—east away with it although stays windy across the south—west and through the channel but those winds will ease down. sunshine and showers elsewhere, stays rather damp for scotla nd elsewhere, stays rather damp for scotland and england. the temperatures in single figures for both, just about double figures in the south—east. the area of low pressure clears away. a brief winch of low pressure which turns things cold and the next area of low pressure m oves cold and the next area of low pressure moves in on friday so it's all go but it will be a cold night to come across the country, central, northern and eastern areas especially under sharp frost expected across scotland with some frost, fog and icy stretches to watch out for on friday but a nice fine dry start for many central and

eastern areas but some sunshine, wet and windy weather will be sweeping into western areas through the day and spreading eastwards slowly, although not reaching the south—east until after dark. it will be milder with south—westerly winds in the south and east but still quite a chilly day to come in the north and west with some heavy, blustery showers and very strong gale force winds particularly in the north and west. here it is, storm dennis arrives on saturday, bringing a swathe of gales and heavy rain which we are concerned about. the rain will pile into western areas first and spread across eastern areas through the day. a wild day in store with some snow on the hills in scotland, gusts of 50—60 miles an hour widely, closer to 70 on irish sea coasts and over the higher ground too, so a very gusty day, very heavy rain can be in particularly across southern and western parts of britain. you will notice it will be very mild for the time of year but because of the strength of the wind and the rain you probably will not notice it. amber warnings have been issued

amongst all the yellow warnings across the country for heavy rain across the country for heavy rain across southern and western parts of britain, likely to see some flooding, the ground is so saturated from all the rain from storm ciara. some impacts on the cards from storm dennis, head online to see the latest weather warnings or you can stay tuned to the news channel, where helen willetts will have all the warning details later on one afternoon life. a reminder of our top story. boris johnson's cabinet borisjohnson‘s cabinet reshuffle is thrown into disarray with the shock resignation of the chancellor sajid javid. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. 0n bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. bye— bye. good afternoon. here's your latest sports news. israel folau is set to make his super league debut this weekend.

he's in the catalans dragons squad to face castleford this weekend. the former union star was sacked by rugby australia last year after posting homophobic comments on social media. his arrival in super league on a one—year deal has been opposed by the governing body and the majority of clubs. they couldn't stop him joining the french side, but they have since changed their regulations, enabling them to block controversial signings in the future. the world rugby sevens series is the latest sports event to be hit by the coronavirus outbreak. the hong kong and singapore legs have been moved from april to october. world rugby say the health and safety of the players, fans and everyone working on the event is their highest priority. yesterday, formula one bosses postponed the chinese grand prix in shanghai, that was also due to be staged in april. manchester united's new loan signing, 0dion ighalo, is still training by himself following his arrivalfrom chinese side shanghai shenhua. united have kept the striker away from the rest of the squad

as a precautionary measure because of the small risk that he's carrying the coronavirus. ighalo, who spent two and half seasons at watford, also missed united's training camp in spain. they were worried that he might have trouble getting back into the uk because of tighter border controls for those who have recently been in china. he should be available to play against chelsea next monday night. ajax winger hakin ziyech willjoin chelsea in the summer. the 26—year—old is frank lampard's first signing since chelsea had their transfer ban lifted. the moroccan international has joined for a fee somewhere in the region of £38 million. the blues had wanted to sign him during the january transfer window but the dutch didn't want to lose him as they look to retain their title. fallon sherrock will make more history tonight when she becomes the first woman to compete in the darts premier league. she reached the third round at the world championship in december, becoming the first woman to beat a man in that tournament.

she'll face glen durant in nottingham this evening as one of nine challengers in the first phase of this season's competiton. she won't collect league points but can earn prize money based on her result. it's definitely been different from what i am normally used to. i've had a lot of exhibition work, a lot of interviews. it's been, very, very busy and i get recognised in the street a lot more now. i'm loving every minute, and the fa ct i'm loving every minute, and the fact that i get to play in the premier league i've been watching it on tv the last couple of years, and it's like, wow, i'm a challenger. it's amazing. iam hoping i am helping women in sport because, in darts, we play the men, so i am quite happy that i have broken the barrier and that i've helped women in sport more generally to prove we can compete against men.

two—time finallist ding junhui is into the last 16 at the welsh 0pen. the uk champion beat england's jimmy robertson 4—1 in cardiff, hitting back—to—back centuries on the way to victory. playing right now is ronnie 0'sullivan, up against anthony hamilton. those are live pictures. it's their third round match, and it's those are live pictures. it's their third round match, and its live on the bbc sport website. hamilton has taken the first frame. 0'sullivan has won this title four times, most recently four yea rs has won this title four times, most recently four years ago, but hamilton is at the table, and a frame up. not much room for error in these third—round matches, the first to four going through to the last i6. england's jodi ewart shadoff is top of the leaderboard after a brilliant opening round at the women's australian open. the 32—year—old shot a bogey—free round of seven—under—par at adelaide royal. ewart shadoff led at the same stage last year but eventually finished eighth.

she's one shot clear of the south korean pair inbee park and jeong—eun lee — park with this incredible shot for an eagle on the first hole. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. you can watch the ronnie match at the welsh open and also the latest news on there, a bit more about that hakin ziyech transfer, the moroccan joining chelsea, but only in the summer. he's got a bit of unfinished business at ajax. we'll have updates on afternoon life throughout the afternoon. back to our top story now, and the chancellor, sajid javid, has caught much of westminster by surprise by resigning rather than staying on as chancellor. he is the most high—profile casualty in borisjohnson‘s cabinet reshuffle. mrjavid, who was due to deliver his first budget in four weeks' time,

rejected an order to fire his team of aides, saying "no self—respecting minister" could accept such a condition. the former chief secretary to the treasury, rishi sunak, is to become the new chancellor. well, mrjohnson returned to downing street earlier to appoint those with new positions, having spent the morning in his office in the house of commons, where he was releasing colleagues of their ministerial duties. other notable sackings were the northern ireland secretary, julian smith, business secretary andrea leadsom, environment secretary theresa villiers, housing minister esther mcvey, and the attorney general, geoffrey cox. with four weeks to go to the budget, rishi sunak as he arrived at the treasury today acknowledged there was plenty of work to do. good afternoon, chancellor. how do you feel about taking over in these circumstances? you feel about taking over in these circumstan lots ff 77,177, you feel about taking over in these circumstan lots to get mfi—————; you feel about taking over in these circumstan lots to get on g; you feel about taking over in these circumstan lots to get on with. g appointed, lots to get on with.

thanks very much. reporters shout out. our chief political correspondent, vicki young, is in downing street. quite a day. yes, i think yesterday we we re quite a day. yes, i think yesterday we were being told by downing street to expect a modest reshuffle. that is not how it has turned out. tensions, i think, is not how it has turned out. tensions, ithink, had been ratcheting up a bit between number 11 ratcheting up a bit between number ii and numberio ratcheting up a bit between number ii and number 10 downing street, there had been trouble brewing for a while. during the election campaign, sajid javid making it clear that he wasn't prepared to accept lots of very, very large spending ledges wasn't prepared to accept lots of very, very large spending [edges for the election campaign, wanting to make sure that he kept a grip on spending. in the end, borisjohnson went along with that, but what has happened here is that surjit javid went in this morning, everybody expected him to be reconfirmed as chancellor, he was given the option of staying but in new circumstances,

that there would be a joint team of advisors, a joint team between number ten and number advisors, a joint team between numberten and number", advisors, a joint team between number ten and number 11, and advisors, a joint team between numberten and number", and he would have to get rid his own advisers. he was not willing to accept that so he decided to resign. partly this is about loyalty to those people who worked for him, partly because he had seen it happen before, with one of his advisers in the early days sacked by dominic cummings and of here with an armed police officer, and sajid javid was given no hint that was going to happen. he clearly didn't want to see it happen again, but it's about more than that, it's about power and where power resides, and that's a lwa ys where power resides, and that's always been a source of tension between downing street and the treasury, between prime ministers and chancellors, and it's gone on for a very long time but, on this occasion, it's ended in this rupture and, really, after only a few months in thejob, sajid and, really, after only a few months in the job, sajid javid will be leaving a chancellor who never got to deliver a budget. a real turn up for the books, and it's rather

dominated our discussions this morning, but there has been plenty else going on in this reshuffle. morning, but there has been plenty else going on in this reshufflelj think the other surprise for some was perhaps the sacking ofjulian smith as northern ireland secretary, because he was able to make sure that those talks got going to get stormont up and running after more than two years. that was seen as a huge achievement, and he's been praised highly from all sides, from arlene foster, the leader of the dup, from the irish taoiseach, leo varadkar, saying he is one of the best politicians of the generation for getting this achieved, so from all sides of the community, in northern ireland and ireland itself, but having achieved that hasn't saved him hisjob, and i think partly that's because he was openly critical about some of the things that were going on in the early days of boris johnson's government, that were going on in the early days of borisjohnson's government, and he was very worried about a new deal brexit and he said so, which probably hasn't endeared him to those in number ten. i am just looking down the road... that is the

leader of the house of lords, and likely to stay in her position. i think that was the problem, he spoke out, and that's not something that downing street likes. they want to control the message, they want to control the message, they want to control cabinet ministers, too. and i think the departure of sajid javid is going to be quite a moment for the others are sitting around the cabinet table, the fact that they will be looking at thinking, look, no one is safe here, anything could happen. it has the advantage for the prime minister of keeping everyone in line. three women are out, theresa villiers, esther mcvey and andrea leadsom, not unexpected, that, but downing street had suggested there would be other, more junior women brought in to sort of swell the ranks. any sense if that is taking place, or is it too early to say? what is interesting is the prime minister, prime ministers recently have been very mindful of

the gender gap, if you like, that there is at the top table, and they use this attending cabinet role, which sometimes can be a bit of a cheat. they are people who are not cabinet ministers in full, they are not paid as cabinet ministers, they are allowed to attend cabinet, and marie trevelyan, who clearly has a newjob and is one of the women who will promoted from ministerial rank to cabinet minister, and i don't know what she's got yet, possibly international development. there is an issue here, and esther mcvey was of those who attended cabinet. nicky morgan, the culture secretary, has made it clear she is standing down, as far as we know, so that's another woman who will be leaving cabinet, so downing street are saying they are preparing for the future, it's about future generations, and over the next few months they will promote women, some of the home don't have very much experience, and they will be brought up to junior ra nks they will be brought up to junior ranks so they can prove themselves, get experience, and then they will be there with that experience to be promoted in the coming years. at the

moment, therejust aren't promoted in the coming years. at the moment, there just aren't that many women at the leveljust down from cabinet, which is why there are fewer women in cabinet, nowhere near 50-50. i've just fewer women in cabinet, nowhere near 50-50. i'vejust been fewer women in cabinet, nowhere near 50-50. i've just been told that your prediction was absolutely correct, and that anne—marie trevelyan is indeed promoted to international developed secretary, so well done, vicki young, our chief political correspondent! earlier i spoke to steven swinford, the deputy political editor of the times. he was in corridors outside when sajid javid was meeting with the prime minister. he went in, and a succession of other cabinet ministers were behind him, and they were not allowed in to see the prime minister, so i heard rumours something very significant was going on, and obviously it was even more significant than we could have suggested. sajid javid has been sacked, to be replaced by rishi sunak, that is confirmed and is going to happen. it's an extraordinary ascent for rishi sunak, who only seven months ago was a junior housing minister,

but the issue is one of control. downing street basically wants to have more control over the treasury and have a joint team of downing street and treasury advisers, as opposed to the treasury having its own advisers. sajid javid couldn't accept that and he said no. he had already seen one of his former advisers frogmarched out of downing street by armed police after being sacked by dominic cummings, so in the circumstances he felt he had no choice but to resign. a former adviser sacked by dominic cummings, and let's talk about who is behind this attempt to control what is going on at the very heart of government. call it a power grab, call it what you will. over here, there is often a tendency to suggest that dominic cummings is behind everything, it's all dominic cummings taking control, but actually this is the prime minister's decision. he might have taken advice from dominic cummings, but he has decided he needs more

control over the treasury, and the kind of fissures that racked labour under the brown—blair years, there should not be a risk of those, and there were warning signs last week when sajid javid appeared to make it public he was supporting hs2 before a public decision was announced, and there were clashes during the election campaign, with sajid javid insisting on having some very tight fiscal rules which meant the tories must balance the books, and that was apparently objected to by dominic cummings. make no mistake, ultimately this is boris johnson's decision, it's as contentious as it gets, and it's one of the most spectacular reshuffles in history, i would have thought. steve swi nford of steve swinford of the times speaking a bit earlier. the headlines on bbc news... the chancellor, sajid javid, resigns, in a shock move during the prime minister's government reshuffle. out too are theresa villiers, andrea leadsom, esther mcveigh, and the northern ireland secretary, julian smith, who oversaw

the restoration of devolved government at stormont. a steep rise in the number of deaths from coronavirus in china — yesterday was the deadliest day of the outbreak so far. the four contenders for the labour leadership have set out why they think they should succeed jeremy corbyn. sir keir starmer, lisa nandy, rebecca long—bailey and emily thornberry debated how they could revive labour's fortunes, during a special hustings programme on the victoria derbyshire programme this morning. sir keir starmer has been criticised for pushing labour towards a remain position and costing it the votes of leave supporters. he argued that events have moved on to the next stage of the brexit process. remain v leave is over now, we've left, so to some extent, i think, for us in the labour party, we need to make sure we don't carry this divide, because it's split families, it's split our party. we have left now. we need to move on. but what we can't do now

is say, brexit is over, because there's nothing johnson wants more than for us to not look at what he's doing, because he's made loads of promises about brexit that he's not going to actually deliver, so we need to focus on that. lisa nandy said the reason labour keeps losing elections is that it has stopped listening to its traditional voters. we didn't just not listen, but we're not learning. we got defeated and rejected in 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019, and i am standing in this leadership contest because i have heard you and i am determined that we will bring labour home to you. the issue of anti—semitism has dogged the labour party for the past few years. leadership hopeful rebecca long—bailey was asked why this was. we did not deal with the problem swiftly enough or robustly enough. why not? well, there were various problems. i think, in terms of the way that we engage with ourjewish community groups, trust broke down. can you hear people in the audience? they are sighing, they are

sighing at your answers. exactly, well, i agree that not enough took place and we didn't take the action that was required, but what we need to do now is move on. emily thornberry, when answering a question about homelessness, told the audience the question was personal to her. when i was seven, when my parents split up, we became homeless, and labour councillors saved us and found us a council house on a council estate. and now people come to my surgery in the same circumstances as my mum, and i can't find them a council house. we've gone backwards in 50 years. it is completely wrong. the cost of restoring elizabeth tower, which houses big ben, has risen by more than £18 million. the discovery of extensive second world war bomb damage, pollution and asbestos has pushed up the repair bill tojust under £80 million.

it's emerged the city watchdog is investigating the chief executive of barclays, jes staley, and his links with the disgraced financier, jeffrey epstein. mr staley had previously told the bank's board he had business connections with epstein, who was convicted of sex offences and died in prison in new york last summer. our business presenter domic o'connell updated us on the latest. we knew that mr staley, who is the chief exec of a barclays, did have a business relationship with jeffrey epstein, which is dated back a long time. it goes back to when he ran the private wealth division of jpmorgan in new york, he took thatjob in 1999. the private wealth bit of the bank is all about managing wealthy individuals of lottery money, and that, of course, wasjeffrey epstein's main business. the new york times has reported quite a lot on this, about how mr epstein referred several of his clients tojpmorgan to mr staley‘s business. the bank said this morning that mr staley had talked to the board about this, provided them with information about the nature of the relationship,

the extent of the relationship, and the bank had answered questions from the financial conduct authority, the financial watchdog, about the relationship. but the extra thing they said this morning is that the investigation is ongoing and they are looking at how mr staley characterised that relationship which, to me, is, did he say everything about it? and also, exactly what the bank told the watchdog when it did ask questions. so, the probe is ongoing and it's about whether mr staley said everything that there was to say about that relationship with mr epstein. in russia, opponents of president putin have launched a campaign to stop him rewriting the russian constitution. mr putin is proposing a number of amendments that, he says, will make russia stronger. but his critics claim the real aim of the changes is to allow mr putin to hold onto power indefinitely. our moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg, travelled 1,600 kilometres from moscow, to the country's industrial heartland, to see how russians view the prospect of mr putin governing for as long as he wants.

it feels like a world away from moscow, an industrial dystopia of slack, steam, smoke. magnitogorsk was built by a dictator who called himself a "man of steel", stalin. the idea of a strong ruler, an iron hand, is still attractive here. in her tiny flat, fanuzya is raising four of her grandchildren by herself. but, as tough as things are, she remains upbeat about the future, and about russia's current leader. translation: vladimir putin is my favourite. he can sing, he can do politics, everything. he has boosted our country. russia gets noticed now.

i want him to be president forever. the suspicion is he does too. vladimir putin is in a hurry to rewrite russia's constitution. it is for the good of the country, he says. but critics claim his real aim is to stay in power indefinitely, if not as president, then in some other role. put in forever, is that something russians would celebrate? in magnitogorsk, some of these ice hockey fans would. translation: it would be brilliant if he stays. vladimir putin is the most hard—working president we have had. but many skates around the subject of kremlins and constitutions. peoples priorities

defeat their priorities, says victor, they don't have the time to think about politics. if vladimir putin's plan is to stick around on the political stage, it is clear that many russians will accept that, either because they believe there is no alternative to putin, or because they feel they don't have the power anyway to influence the key decisions about russia's future taken at the top. but some russians are trying. across the urals, in yekaterinburg, these protesters are accusing putin of a constitutional coup. translation: the authorities are treating the constitution like toilet paper. they are using it to wipe their bottoms, which have got stuck to the throne.

poi city of 1.4 million people, it's not exactly a big turnout. desperate for a city. tatiana still believes in the power of protest. but sadly, she says, the russian people are sleeping. and that means that if a russian leader wants to stay in power, to rule forever, like now, there is little to stand in their way. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. we are staying with the unsettled theme to end the week. for the weekend, it looks like things will get worse, with another named storm on its way, which will bring a swathe of gales and heavy rain. this area of low pressure moving through overnight, bringing gales to the channel and some snow across northern parts of england and into southern scotland, but it's slowly easing away towards the near continent

and the north sea, taking most of the showers with it through the afternoon. there will still be quite a few in central and eastern areas. a chilly day to come across the north, slightly milder in the south, with some good spells of sunshine, but it stays very windy in the south—west and into the channel. a ridge of high pressure builds in on thursday night, and then we start to see wet and windy weather pushing into the west as we head through friday, but it means that ridge of high pressure, the wind is falling light, it will be quite a cold one in central and northern so watch out for any ice first thing. but we should start the day dry with some sunshine before this band of rain starts to push across northern ireland and into parts of scotland, western england and wales. tending to ease as it moves east. behind it, turning very windy with a scattering of showers and also some sunny spells, and gales here as well, but further south—east, although breezy, not quite as windy as it will be on saturday.

storm dennis arrives off the atlantic, bringing a swathe of widespread gales on saturday. it will be very wet, with some parts of western scotland and northern ireland, into north—west england and wales, southern england could see a lot of heavy rainfall and some surface water flooding likely. a very windy day, with gusts of 40, 50 mph, 60 or 70 near some coasts, and extremely windy in the north—west corner of scotland. on the plus side, temperatures will be above the seasonal average, perhaps even close to the mid—teens in the south, might not feel like it because of the strength of the wind and the rain. the met office has issued several warnings, including amber warnings for rain in southern and western parts, and there could be some flooding. stay tuned to the forecast, and head online to see the latest weather warnings for storm dennis for the risk of heavy rain and flooding at the weekend, but also severe gales.

hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at 2pm... shock resignation: chancellor sajid javid quits the government in the middle of boris johnson's cabinet reshuffle. it's understood he rejected an order to fire his team of advisers — he was due to deliver his first budget in four weeks' time. he will now have to deliver the budget — chief secretary to the treasury rishi sunak becomes chancellor — just seven months ago he was a junior housing minister how do you feel about taking over any circumstances? delighted to be appointed. lots to get on with. thank you very much. out too are theresa villiers, andrea leadsom, esther mcveigh, and the northern ireland secretary julian smith, who oversaw the restoration of devolved government at stormont.
