moment for liberty. borisjohnson's new cabinet meets for the first time since yesterday's dramatic resignation of sajid javid as chancellor. the number of people diagnosed with mumps in england is at its highest for a decade. and on newswatch: as storms hit the uk, is it necessary or responsible for reporters and camera crews to be out in their midst? join us tonight at 7:45pm here on bbc news. good evening. manchester city fc and banned from

european competition for the next two season after being found to have committed serious breaches of uefa's clu b committed serious breaches of uefa's club licensing and financial fairplay regulations. the reigning champion have also been find 30 million euros, around £25 million. let's get more on this. joe wilson is here with me now. this is a huge story? if you think about this whole project of manchester to become a what has it been working towards? winning the champions league, being the best club in europe, in effect the best club in europe, in effect the best club in europe, in effect the best club in the world. pep guardiola has said in recent times that's what he's here for, and he will bejudged as that's what he's here for, and he will be judged as a success or failure by whether he does that. this is also the financial fairplay regulations and rules showing its teeth in a way that i think we never thought would happen. we should say right from the outset that

manchester city fc will appeal against this and there i believe for this punishment to be weakened or changed. but as it stands, this is really big. what it boils down to is theissue really big. what it boils down to is the issue of how football clubs are funded. traditionally their money would come from spectators. we know that tv money has a huge amount to do with it these days, also these wealthy individuals who come and effectively by success at a football club. now manchester city fc are owned by the abu dhabi ruling family, they also get a lot of money from sponsorship, which is legitimate. it had airlines... what uefa's investigation basically decided is that sponsorship money is really in effect just decided is that sponsorship money is really in effectjust more money from the abu dhabi ruling family. so the amount of money they get directly in effect from that ruling family, from their wealthy owner brea ks family, from their wealthy owner breaks uefa's rules. and we know

there is a financial penalty which some people say is just small change to them — they've been hit where it hurts? £25 million is a lot of money to anyone, unless you are... in terms of the prestige, the whole status and ambition of that football club, to be banned from their competitions for two seasons is huge. when we talk about uefa's competitions, it is also the champions league and the uefa league. you've thought finish in the top four, you're allowed to play in the uefa league. chasing that dream of being the best club in europe in effect they would say probably the best clu b effect they would say probably the best club in the world is what has been motivating this whole process —— process and manchester cities up you said they will appeal, but will we continue to see them playing for the next few weeks? 0bviously we continue to see them playing for the next few weeks? obviously the champions league this season is about to resume in its knockout stages. i think there'll still be

there because manchester city fc had they will appeal and everything goes on hold for a moment. they've said in their statement that what they cast doubt on is the independence of u efa cast doubt on is the independence of uefa in this whole process and the legitimacy of that process. they say they're going to the court of arbitration as soon as i can. we just got the statement on the screen there, we will be watching how this story develops. thank you very much indeed. in other news... another storm is heading our way, bringing with it high winds, a months worth of rain and warnings of more flooding. the met office has raised the threat level for storm dennis, including weather warnings in some parts of england and wales that flooding could cause a "danger to life", as britain braces itself for a second weekend of disruption. storm dennis will sweep eastwards tomorrow across england and wales bringing very unsettled conditions with spells of heavy rain

and widespread high winds, with some up to 60 mph. the poor weather is expected to continue on sunday and spread to northern scotland and northern ireland with warnings in place across the country until sunday evening. danny savage reports from hebden bridge in west yorkshire which was flooded just a week ago. in the calder valley in east yorkshire, they are still clearing up from storm ciara last weekend. —— west yorkshire. it's filthy work. but they are also shoring up the partially built new flood defences because there is a huge concern that storm dennis will overwhelm this village again. it's terrifying because you see the effects, third time in eight years, could be the fourth time, but the impact on the community is massive. we've lost all the shops, all the business just over your shoulder, there is barbers, hairdressers, there is a sainsbury‘s. all these places are ruined. they will be ruined for months. it's going to happen

again and again. at the blue teapot cafe, there is a family effort under way to prepare. they're getting ready for the second flood in a week. people are really frightened. people are saying i've had all this stuff donated but, actually, if we flood again, that'll go as well. so we are kind of all speaking to each other and seeing how we can help and get things out of the village. let's have a look. 0k, sure. older people are struggling, though. flooding destroyed janet's bakery business in 2015. she is waiting for family to come and move her furniture upstairs again. it's heartbreaking, really. we have got insurance but you're still having to peel money after money after money and there is no offer of any compensation from anybody. has flooding ruined your life here? yes! ina word. will it flood again, though? the environment agency is concerned it will. unfortunately, if we see some of the repeat totals we saw last weekend, in some of our more sensitive

catchment areas, we could see further flooding but it is very uncertain at the moment, and we will continue to monitor that situation. across the north, this is the problem — the big rivers, like the 0use in york, are already very high. if this is the starting point before a rain storm with an amber warning attached, it is realistic to expect problems. back in hebden bridge, they are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. we were looking to hopefully be back open tomorrow but we have put it off, we've gone let's get the defences up and wait until tuesday to see it out, and see the way it goes. flooding, power cuts and travel disruption are predicted in the worst affected areas this weekend. let's go to our news correspondent, peter marshall, who's in billington. those flood defences behind you?

they are, these new temporary flood defences that have been put up throughout the day, stretching across two ends of the street here in billington. that's to prevent a repeat of last weekend's flooding when the river called or overtopped its banks and water came crashing here, a0 homes were flooded out. that's why they brought in these temporary barriers. i've spoken to residents today who say they are reassured by the fact that these have been put in place. 0thers reassured by the fact that these have been put in place. others say it isa have been put in place. others say it is a little bit like bolting the sta ble it is a little bit like bolting the stable door when the horse has already bolted. too little too late. they would prefer a more permanent solution, the environment agency say that economically is not possible at the moment, although they are working on the bigger picture to try to work out how to do better flood defences for this area. very quickly, our residents planning on staying in their homes this weekend?

a lot of residents are still in their homes now, some residents have moved out to temporary accommodation. they are all really just keeping their fingers crossed and hoping that storm dennis, although it will bring something like 50—80 mm of rain within a 2a hour period, they hope it won't be as bad as the previous storm. fingers crossed. peter, thank you. well, storms like dennis and ciara last weekend certainly cause short term disruption, but the environment agency is also warning about the long term threat to coastal communities because of rising sea levels. research suggests that polar icecaps are melting fast and that raises the height of the oceans. 0ur science editor david shukman reports. mountainous waves as storm ciara struck last weekend battering the coastal defences. in west sussex, the barriers

were overwhelmed and the sea broke through. as the world heats up, raising the level of the ocean, the threat will grow. hemsby in norfolk has no defences at all and the waves have undermined many houses over the years. lance martin now lives right on the edge. he is doing what he can but gets no help so he worries about every storm. i look down on the beach and i think is it going to protect me? what else can i do to protect myself? because, at the moment, there is nobody else that is going to do myjob for me. like many villages, hemsby is too small to get government funding to keep the sea back but local people say they deserve it. it is a real danger to us all now. we have no protection from the sea coming into the villages and flooding all the areas. there used to be a row of houses on this sand dune but the sea kept eroding it dramatically and as climate change raises

the level of the ocean, more and more stretches of coastline right around the uk will be put at risk. at the moment, only key areas will be defended. it is one of the biggest flood schemes we are currently building. just come up the gantry... up the coast, boston, with many more people, is getting serious help. the environment agency's flood director guides me around a new tidal barrier. costing more than £100 million, this great, steel wall could be lifted up to block a storm surge. it was ordered after boston was badly hit seven years ago. 800 homes and businesses were flooded. when it is finished, the barrier should safeguard the town but with big rises in sea level coming, officials want people to realise the coastline will shift and that some areas might have to be given up. if we don't start having those conversations now, in 50—100 years,

the sea will take them anyway. so now is the time to start thinking about what the future might be. do you think people will have to move? i think in some places there will be some very serious questions we will have to have. for the moment, for the people of boston, there is a feeling of comfort with the construction of their new barrier. it is quite a significant piece of kit. and i think it'll bring a lot of security, and a lot of safety. the much bigger thames barrier often holds back storm surges to save london but in a warming world, higher seas mean painful choices for our island nation. where to save and where to retreat? a question given new focus with the next big storm this weekend. david shukman, bbc news. drivers are being warned not to drive through flood water, after a person was rescued by firefighters in sussex. news correspondent sean killick sent this from pulborough in west sussex a little earlier.

this location, pulborough, really illustrates the problems as storm dennis approaches this weekend. 80 mm of rain are expected, a month's worth of rain in one day alone on sunday. that's bad enough but the problem is river levels are already high, ground across the south is sodden. this year as a flood plain, but that's meant to be fields ordinarily. look at this sign — the only ordinarily. look at this sign — the o nly a ccess ordinarily. look at this sign — the only access through here at the moment will be by boat. 0ver only access through here at the moment will be by boat. over here is the a 29 coming in from pulborough. there's the village sign, look at the water level there and see what it's normally like. now have a look at what it's like today, just see how high at the river is already. getting around will be difficult this weekend, as well. trains and planes, people being advised to check for the travel. 0n the roads there is also expected to be severe

problems, the fire service in west sussex have a campaign at the moment this weekend on social media too with the hashtag turn around, don't drown. . nick millerjoins us, you've been kept quite busy by denis? denis isjust preparing people, getting the message across this weekend, it is throughout this weekend, saturday and sunday, going into monday morning. there is some pretty nasty weather on the way yet again, due to this new storm out there, rapidly deepening area of low pressure, as you can see at the moment. this is saturday and it goes into sunday. clearly the isobars are close together, another spell a very strong winds. the blue there is

rain, and that just strong winds. the blue there is rain, and thatjust keeps on going for 2a—a8 hours. so all those elements are combining, but in terms of wind, very few people will not notice that again this weekend. 50-60 notice that again this weekend. 50—60 mph gusts widely inland, but there is 70 mph in some places, large waves hitting our coastline especially south. into sunday night, parts of scotland, northern ireland and england can see potentially damaging winds. the winds may not be as strong as we saw previously, but it will be a very fine line. we don't want to get too drawn into those details and relax about anything because these are still potentially damaging winds. but as we saw earlier from sean, it is the rain people are worried about. and perhaps more even that we had —— then we had leading up previously, because we had huge amounts of rains across the uk. we saw that weather

across, which has led to a yellow met office warning for wind, but amber warnings, the next level up, for rain across some parts of the uk. ican for rain across some parts of the uk. i can show you some of the areas affected here. again, nowhere will escape a lot of rain. 20—a0 mm, but the areas highlighted here across parts of southern, western and northern england into wales, the high ground of whales could see over 100 mm of rain, southern scotland may be not that huge, but it's some snow melt. so there will be some flooding, that's likely. some areas will respond very quickly in their catchment, but once you've had that rain and you think it's ok by the end of sunday, it you think you're out of the woods because it takes a lot of time for this rain to feed into other rivers. that flooding in

some spots may continue well on next week. just to remind viewers where they can track what's going on in their weekend? they can check out their weekend? they can check out the bbc weather website, just round up the bbc weather website, just round up the warnings there. the best message is don't wait until you're about to head out over the weekend into it. make those decisions now about whether your journey is into it. make those decisions now about whether yourjourney is worth it at the weekend. find out what is happening with those warnings where you are and be prepared. thank you very much. just head to your local bbc radio station, and online at bbc.co.uk/weather. thank you, nick. 0n on to our next story. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:a0pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are martin bentham, home affairs editor at the evening standard and sian griffiths, education editor at the sunday times.

it is approaching 7:19pm. the headlines on bbc news... within the last few minutes, manchester said has been banned from competitions for two seasons, and find a £25 million for breaching fairplay rules. the uk prepares for more torrential rain and winds of up to 80 mph. storm dennis is expected to batter the uk this weekend. a landmark free speech victory at the high court, for a man who was warned by police about allegedly transphobic messages on social media. a high courtjudge has ruled that police acted unlawfully when they turned up at a man's workplace after he posted comments online about transgender people. harry miller took the humberside force to court after they recorded his tweets as a hate incident, despite conceding that

he'd committed no crime. the judge said the force's actions were "disproportionate" and that britain didn't have gestapo or stasi—style police. clive coleman's been following the case. emerging victorious. former policeman harry miller, whose comments on social media about gender identity caused a trans woman to complain to his formerforce. he was investigated. but today, his tweets were found to be comfortably within the bounds of free speech. mrjustice knowles was very clear, we have never had a gestapo or stasi in great britain. but the actions of the police came way too close for comfort. women, comedians, students, even politicians — rediscover what it is like to think, then go forth and tweet without fear.

harry miller believes biologically a man cannot become a woman, and tweeted about it sometimes using graphic language. humberside police warned him he could be prosecuted if he continued. they logged a non—hate incident which can be disclosed on certain background checks. —— non—crime hate incident. harry miller challenged police guidance and behaviour. the guidance was found to be lawful but the judge ruled the police acted disproportionately. he said... many people will regard the words of mrjustice knowles as a robust, muscular defence of free speech. but some will fear they will be taken as a green light by people who want to direct offensive and hurtful comments at minority groups. i think trans people will be worried

that it could become open season on us, because the court didn't really define what the threshold for acceptable speech was. and i think it'll reinforce an opinion that the courts don't really understand tra ns—lives and are not there to protect trans people. harry miller's next step is to appeal the ruling the police guidance is lawful to the uk supreme court. the investigation of non—prime hate incidents faces another legal challenge. clive coleman, bbc news. in other news today... the body of a missing british woman has been found by police in new zealand. stephanie simpson is thought to have gone on a hike last weekend in the mount aspiring national park in the country's south island. the scottish conservatives have a new leader. jackson carlaw, who has been interim leader since the resignation of ruth davidson in august, received more than three times

the votes of the only other candidate, michelle ballantyne. an artwork that appeared on the side of a house in bristol has been confirmed as the work of street artist banksy. the piece features a stencil of a girl firing red flowers made with spray painted ivy from a catapult. banksy published a picture of the work on his instagram page at midnight on valentine's day. there were more than 5,000 cases of mumps last year in england that's the highest level in a decade. the outbreaks have been largely driven by young adults in universities and colleges who did not have the mmr measles, mumps and rubella jab as children. public health england says the rise looks set to continue this year, and is urging people to have both parts of the mmr vaccine, for maximum protection. 0ur health correspondent

catherine burns reports. this is david now, and this is him when he became ill with the mumps. as the days went by, his face became more and more swollen, it started to affect his breathing. he says the pain was excruciating. it was indescribable. i kind of woke up and i couldn't do anything. it completely took over my body. so, you started to feel better and then you got a complication. i then went into... it went into my balls. ifelt like someone had kicked me in my balls. on my right side, it swelled up like an avocado. it was huge and really painful. mumps cases are at the highest level for a decade in england. they've dropped in northern ireland but have also risen in wales and scotland. most people get better without treatment but it can lead on to serious complications, including meningitis,

deafness and infertility for men. the mmr vaccine prevents most cases. babies have the first dose just after they turn one and it gives between 61—91% protection. a second jab before they start school boost that level to about 95%. but in 1998, a doctor, andrew wakefield, wrongly linked the vaccine with autism. that has been totally discredited now but the effects of the controversy linger on. the increase in mumps is partly linked to outbreaks in universities and colleges, and is thought some students now might have missed out on being immunised in the late 1990s and early 2000s. even if you had the vaccine, it can become less effective over time. if you do get mumps after being vaccinated, it probably will not be as severe and you are less likely to have complications. the official advice is to make sure

you are fully protected. david found out he only had the first injection as a baby. he has had the second one now but wishes he hadn't missed out all those years ago. catherine burns, bbc news. here, health officials have contacted hundreds of people who attended a uk bus conference in london last week, after one of them was later diagnosed with coronavirus. two labour mps who were there said they don't have symptons but they're cancelling public engagements for another week as a precaution. so just how worried should we be about coronavirus here in the uk? almost 3,000 people have been tested for it, but only nine have been positive. flu is still a far bigger threat here. it kills thousands of people in the uk every year. here's our medical correspondent, fergus walsh. the new coronavirus has been described as public enemy

number one by the head of the world health organisation. but how much of a threat is covid—19 locally as well as globally? the epidemic is still mostly limited to mainland china, over 63,000 cases. but those tracking the disease reckoned the true total is at least ten times that figure because the vast majority have such a mild disease, they don't need treatment. so, out of probably hundreds of thousands of cases, there have been almost 1,a00 deaths in mainland china. elsewhere, there have been around 600 cases spread to another 2a countries. there have been just three deaths outside mainland china, in hong kong, japan and the philippines. cases with no link to china are concerning. singapore has the most. if the virus spreads out of control beyond china, that is when a global outbreak, a pandemic, would be inevitable. in the uk, nearly 3,000

people have been tested for coronavirus and there are stilljust nine positive. one has gone home and eight are isolated in hospital. so, how bad could it be if we get an epidemic of covid—19 here? well, there is still much we don't know about the virus but if we look at seasonal flu, for which there is a vaccine, the annual number of deaths from flu complications has averaged 17,000 in england for the past five years. but it has a big impact on hospitals. last year, across the uk, more than 3,000 patients were admitted to intensive care as a result of flu. so, for now, it is flu, not coronavirus, which poses by far the biggest threat here in britain. fergus walsh, bbc news. here's staff with the weather. likely to be some impacts of storm

prime minister met his reshaped cabinet this morning and urged ministers to repay the trust of voters by improving infrastructure, cutting crime and building more hospitals. at his side was the new chancellor, rishi sunak, who was appointed yesterday after the surprise reclamation of sajid javid. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young reports. here they are, the team borisjohnson's going to rely on to deliver his promises. how many hospitals will rebuild? they are certainly obedient. how many more buses? and well-trained. how many nurses will be recruited? 50,000. the new chancellor rishi sunak is keen to prove he has a mind of its own after yesterday's surprised promotion. yesterday he was a man preparing thejudge

budget. now sajid javid has more time for local events like this. he was “— time for local events like this. he was —— he resigned after he was told he had to sack his own advisers and rely on a joint team. are you running on number 11? many see that asa running on number 11? many see that as a power grab by dominic cummings. he wants a more coordinated approach to economic policies. i worked with him ona to economic policies. i worked with him on a number of projects. he's passing it about supporting the prime minister and i think it's a great team. there are but will be be more effective in terms of delivering policies. to mention is nothing new. the treasury

doesn't approve of overspending, so will this reorganisation make a difference? degree has been neutered, and it has a key function, of course, being the custodian of the public finances, then i think that will be more problematic. will the budget still be going ahead? politicians often complain that it's difficult to change the way things are done. decisions are made, but the machine moves too slowly. this government is trying a different approach, and there are sure to be clashes along the way. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. the new northern ireland secretary brandon lewis has also been speaking today about his new role. great work that was done by my predecessor, a good friend of mine but all the parties that came together to make sure we saw that executive back—up.

it's something the government is absolutely committed to and i see my job as actually building on that and delivering on the promise of that agreement. my focus is on making sure we make a brilliant success of the new direction, the new agreement. to make sure we actually deliver for people across northern ireland. antarctica has recorded a temperature of more than 20 celsius, the first time since records began. the reading was taken by a brazilian tea m the reading was taken by a brazilian team on seymour island off the coast of the continent. it follows antarctica's warmest january on record. ella, this is worrying, isn't it? the background of climate change in antarctica is certainly worrying. i think the specific event isa worrying. i think the specific event is a weather phenomenon, so related to something called fern wins which are these warm, dry winds that occur

when air flows over mountains. are these warm, dry winds that occur when air flows over mountainsm this is a phenomenon, could we see an increase in this? is this when we start to get worried, we've been hearing about temperatures increasing? absolutely. climate is changing in antarctica and is changing in antarctica and is changing quite rapidly. the antarctic peninsula has warmed by around three degrees since the 1950s and it's one of the fastest warming places on earth. that is quite worrying. this is just places on earth. that is quite worrying. this isjust one places on earth. that is quite worrying. this is just one data point, if you'd like. it's not necessarily, you can't contribute it to an overall change but it is against the setting of overall climate change. so what is it doing to this lovely environment? cold certainly, but what is it doing to it? that particular event would have lasted a few hours, perhaps days, but if these kinds of events occur over ice or ice shelves or you can

see melting occurring, in fact, these events are thought to have been linked to do the deed stabilisation of two ice shelves which are these floating platforms of ice on the antarctic peninsula in the 90s. what sort of shape is antarctica in? the physical plan scape and the wildlife, what's going on with ella is a huge continent so it's hard to say one thing for the entire place but we got really dramatic warming occurring in the west antarctic. it's been in the news a lot recently, they're accelerating and discharging a lot of ice and at the moment. the financial is also warming very quickly and the antarctic is a little more complex and it seems to be cooling a little bit. when you sake discharging ice, isn't melting? is it away? what does that mean? these glaciers are basically big

frozen rivers and they flow off the land and they enter the ocean and because you're getting warming and they're getting thinner, there's less holding them back. they're able to flow more quickly into the sea so they're accelerating and that means, of course, it will get more ice entering the sea. ella gilbert, thank you very much. thank you for reminding us. the court of appeal has ruled that in a strange muslim couple who had an islamic wedding ceremony and had four children cannot legally divorce because their marriage isn't recognised in law. earlier ruling had accepted their bowels were similar to those of a british marriage contract. —— valves. he had argued that for all intents and purposes, she and mohammed had been married for 18 years.

then after that, they had referred to each other as husband and wife. they had had four children, they moved abroad for five years to live in dubai, and their marriage was recognised by the authorities there. they were treated by friends and family as a married couple. it is only when their relationship broke down in 2016 when this became a real issue. the woman had sought to clarify whether the marriage was in fact recognised by law. her argument was that it should be because they had intended at the time they went through the islamic ceremony to also go through a civil ceremony. she claimed that she had mentioned that to the partner whom she regarded as her husband again and again on numerous occasions — but it had never happened. now if that had happened, if that wedding had been recognised in law, she would have been entitled to have been declared null and void,

which would've meant she was entitled to a financial settlement, potentially half or even more of her partner's assets. but even though the high court ruled in herfavour in 2018, today the appealjudges said there never was any legally recognised marriage, and therefore they overturned the ruling. the case could set a precedent for many other muslim couples who are in the same situation, having a an islamic ceremony but not a civil ceremony that is recognised in english law. lawyers say that this leaves potentially thousands of muslim women vulnerable without protection if their marriage, their relationship does break up. because there was a survey three years ago that reckoned two thirds of muslim women in this country haven't actually followed up the islamic ceremony with the legally recognised civil ceremony.

so in that instance, lawyers are saying the only option for those women would be to turn to a sharia council to try and get an islamic divorce, something which could be very difficult for them and may not pay out the same sort of financial settlement that they would get through english divorce law. a former italian mafia boss, who was found hiding in a caravan park in lancashire, has told the bbc about the british businessmen who helped the mafia make millions of pounds through fraud. gennaro panzuto is a state witness whose evidence has helped convict former members of the camorra family criminal syndicate in naples. this report from dominic casciani. the secrets are being unlocked, a rare insight into one of the world's most powerful mafia gangs. i'm meeting gennaro panzuto, a camorra leader who murdered and is now confessing all.

translation: one thing i do remember is the dull thud of the bodies falling after you've shot them. they're asking you to kill somebody. did you not think, that's the wrong thing to do? translation: no, when you grow up in a context like mine, for lots of kids like me, it's normal. panzuto was a teenage street thief who rose through the ranks to become a boss. in 2006, he was suspected of multiple murders as clan warfare erupted. at the time, gennaro panzuto was for sure a dangerous criminal in naples in italy. he went on the run to northern england where local businessmen hid him on this caravan park and helped him make money for the mafia. they'd set up companies to dodge tax on goods sold both at home and in naples by the camorra.
