news. manchester city have been banned from european competition for the next two seasons after being found to have committed "serious breaches" of uefa's club licencing and financial fair play regulations. the reigning premier league champions have also been fined 30 million euros that's around £25 million. our sports correspondentjoe wilson told me earlier how the team is planning to appeal the decision. winning the champions league and being the best club in europe and the world, pep guardiola has said in recent times that is what i am here for, that is a project he will be judged as a success or failure by wearing whether he does that. this is also the financial fairplay regulations, the rules showing its teeth in a way i think we never thought would happen. we should say at the outset that manchester city will appeal kansas and there might be leave for this country to change

over time but as it stands, this is really big. this boils down to how football clu bs really big. this boils down to how football clubs are funded. the monday would come from spectators. we know that tv money has a lot to do with it today and also these wealthy individuals who come and effectively by success at a football club. manchester city are owned by the abu dhabi ruling family, they also get a lot of money from sponsorship which is which admit. ed had airlines also owned by the abu dhabi family. what they decided is that sponsorship money is in effect just more money from the abu dhabi ruling family. the amount of money they get directly in effect from that family and their wealthy owner brea ks that family and their wealthy owner breaks ua for pots across. —— ethiad airline. there is a financial penalty which people say that it is a small change in him. they've been

hurt, haven't they quizzed about thatis hurt, haven't they quizzed about that is a lot of money to a anybody u nless that is a lot of money to a anybody unless you're a football club... in terms you are right, in terms of the prestige and status and ambition of that football club to be banned from ua for‘s competitions for two seasonsis ua for‘s competitions for two seasons is huge. when we are talking about uefa's lease, there is europe about uefa's lease, there is europe a week and champions league. people i'm sure will not come up but you finish in top four in the premier league you are allowed to play in the champions league and chasing that dream of being the best club in europe in effect they would probably say the best club in the world is what has been motivating this whole process at manchester city. you said they will be appealing, but what we see them playing for the next few weeks? the champions league this season weeks? the champions league this seasonis weeks? the champions league this season is about to resume and in its knockout stages, i think they still will be because manchester city has said they will appeal and everything goes on hold to an extent. they

would feel and they're set in their statement but what they cast out on is the independence of uefa in its process and legitimacy of the process. they say they're going to the court of arbitration for sport as soon as they can. we are hopefully going to be speaking to sam lee who has a manchester city correspondent athletic and of course the background to this story. we will also be finding out the story and many others will be covered in tomorrow's front pages. 10.40 and 11.30 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. sam lee is with us. thank you for

joining us here and bbc news. what surprised you on this decision by uefa 7 surprised you on this decision by uefa? well, where to start? certainly the information flowing my way, our way towards the end of last year was that a decision was first of all coming in december and that manchester city would not be getting a champions league band potentially not even a fine. part of that was there was confidence at the highest levels of the car that even if they did geta levels of the car that even if they did get a band from the champions league, they would be able to overturn it. i guess that will be potentially part two, part three or pa rt potentially part two, part three or part for the situation. but what surprises me, everything. absolutely everything. it did not seem towards the end that city were going to be banned but of course they have been and for two seasons. it is just a huge case. i suppose manchester city think they have not broken any rules 7 think they have not broken any rules? that has been the stance throughout. a clear public stance

going back to the very start when these alleged financial wrongdoings we re these alleged financial wrongdoings were detailed in newspapers across europe working with football weeks, it basically the football whistle—blower. city always maintained there was an agenda against the club. there was a clear attempt to destabilise them basically and materials were taken out of context. dave made a point to fight this at every way and west summer when it was announced that u efa summer when it was announced that uefa intended or had recommended a punishment against city, they went against the court of arbitration for sport than before could get handed down hoping it would be thrown out with the idea being uefa was in no position of doing this and they had a fluid policy, and that is been one of city's angles of attack the whole way through. they said going back then, it was organised and clear.

sami then, it was organised and clear. sam i am going to ask you to go back and in terms of the original allegations and that financial fairplay regulation, oh, that is a shame. we appear to have lost sam lee. he was a manchester leak correspondent at the athletic. we might get him back, we will let you know. let's turn to another big story this evening. and yet 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 miles per hour.

-- 80 —— 80 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 west yorkshire, they are still clearing up from storm ciara last weekend. 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. the report was from danny savage. 0ur science editor, david shukman reports.

storm kiribati we can across devastation across a large part of the country. notably here in the valley where he had a month and halfs worth you amount of rain... river 0vertopped its banks the well flood basin was used last week and for the first time ever and that the environment agency says saved 1,000 homes from flooding. here in billington in lancashire, you can see they have put these temporary flood areas, huge swathes across the end of the street along with road here in billington. that is to try to repeat a —— and a repeat of last week because i promise when the river calder top its banks and a0 homes were flooded out. residents i have spoken to, some have said they are reassured by the fact that these barriers are here but others say it isa barriers are here but others say it is a little bit like closing the sta ble is a little bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted, it would be too little too

late. now the environment agency for its part is a saying it is working nonstop to try to prevent a repeat of last week pots are problems when storm dennis arrives but when you think we're going to get wind gusts between 50—70 mph, we will have rain falling something like 50 mm to 80 mm ina falling something like 50 mm to 80 mm in a 2a—hour period and that falling onto already saturated ground, you can see that the potential for further problems is there. peter marshall there with the latest from the valley. 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. you can keep up to date with the weather developments in your are. just head to your local bbc radio station

launch this investigation after a german newspaper back in 2018 der spiegel made the allegations that city had inflated the value of a sponsorship deal which misled european football governing body. it is important to say that manchester city have always denied this. they say that was not the case and it has been misled. but in the last couple of hours, uefa have announced that thisjudgement has been made and as you say manchester city have been banned from the champions league in europe a week for next season and the season afterwards and have been fined 30 million euros. 30 million euros will not be much with the club of the financial crowd of manchester city. what will really hurt is that banned from european competition. what is likely to happen next than? this will have huge applications not least for the players and the staff at manchester city. they will have trouble bringing in new players without the prospect of european

football and those they have got will want to say? they are not taking this line down, they have a lwa ys taking this line down, they have always denied these allegations. they have released a statement for senator this came out. they say in it... they call it a... and they say... they say that it is a prejudicial process and go appeal at the arbitration for sport... they have a lwa ys arbitration for sport... they have always denied these allegations but it isa always denied these allegations but it is a huge buffer manchester city. adam think you very much. city are on their winter break, but wolves and leicester are back from theirs. wolves can go into the top six with a win. leicester could go above

have never had a gestapo or stasi in great britain or the actions of humberside police came 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 trans 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—crime hate incidents faces another legal challenge. clive coleman, bbc news. 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 police have previously found items belonging to the 32 year—old from essex. the court of appeal has ruled doctors can stop providing medical the parents of a baby who is said to be brainstem dead have lost an appealfor... three appealjudges analysed evidence on four—month—old midrar ali after a high courtjudge concluded that treatment could be withdrawn. midrar‘s father said the ruling was "terrible", after arguing their son had been showing "signs of life". but doctors at st mary's hospital in manchester said midrar earlierjoe donegan was outside the hospital and expend the background to the case. for that entire time the baby has been on a ventilator and feeding tube at st mary's hospital in this compass behind me. there were complications during his birth which led to profound brain damage and although his body is so

flushing with the help of all of the medical care, his clinicians about two weeks after his birth started conducting tests which they say prove that he is brainstem dead. they want to stop treatment and say that would be kinder and more dignified. his parents disagree with that. they have always felt that he has showed signs of five and they wa nt has showed signs of five and they want that treatment to continue. and thatisit want that treatment to continue. and that is it because this case has been about what life means in equal sense. it is exactly that, yes. his heart is still beating and sometimes makes small movements when he is touched. he is growing. his parents had without all that and has said this shows that he is a lie. but his condition say that is not so. the movements arejust basic condition say that is not so. the movements are just basic localised reactions to stimulus. everything else is the result of this ventilation and the rest of the care they're giving him. they say what matters is the brain and u nfortu nately, matters is the brain and unfortunately, his brain has shown no signs of life for some time. they

say that the expert that the family shall conduct they have looked at the evidence and agrees with the conditions here. it says it shows that his reign are effectively disintegrating. does that now mean thatis disintegrating. does that now mean that is the end of things legally? his father has already considered an appeal. he is not happy with today's judgement at office of if he did do that that would be to the supreme court, the highest court in england. theoretically they could take it to the court of human rights if you remember the case of alfie evans a couple of years ago, his parents took his case around the whole legal system twice although ultimately they lost. i think his parents will be taking in this decision this weekend and thinking really carefully about what they think the right thing to do is now. what that was joe donegan right thing to do is now. what that wasjoe donegan there.

right thing to do is now. what that was joe donegan there. -- jill done again. 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 thousand 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 organization 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 1a00 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 3000 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 3000 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. that was fergus walsh. street artist banksy has given a valentine's day gift to his home town of bristol. this is the artwork that appeared on the side of a house features a little girl firing red flowers made with spray—painted ivy from a catapult. banksy has confirmed that it was a mural by him. kelly woodruff, whose father owns the property, said they want to protect the "special" work from storm dennis.

be speedy blue hedgehog to get to the big screen debut thing —— find out what mark, deals on the film review. there were more than 5000 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 to 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. the prime minister met his re—shaped 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 resignation of sajid javid. 0ur chief political correspondent, vicki young reports. here they are, the team boris johnson's going to rely on to deliver his promises. how many hospitals are we going to build? all: 40. they are certainly obedient. how many more buses? laughter and well—trained. how many more nurses are we recruiting? 50,000, exactly. the new chancellor, rishi sunak, will be keen to prove he has a mind of his own after yesterday's surprise promotion. i'm delighted to be at my fourth bromsgrove pensions fair. yesterday, he was the man

preparing the budget. now backbench mp sajid javid has more time for local events like this. he resigned after the prime minister told him he had to sack his own advisers and rely on a joint team based in number ten. are you running number 11 as well as number ten? many see that as a power grab by the prime minister's chief adviser, dominic cummings. he wants a more coordinated approach to economic policy. i've known and worked with dominic cummings for many years on a number of projects. he's a very brilliant man. he's absolutely passionate about supporting the prime minister's vision and agenda, and i think a really great at number ten to drive that forward. there are more than 20 government departments in whitehall, thousands of civil servants, and more than 100 advisers who work closely with cabinet ministers. downing street wants tighter control over the way they work, especially at the treasury. it's about discipline, about loyalty to the prime minister, but will it be more effective in terms of delivering policy? tension between prime ministers and their chancellors is nothing new. meeting the demand for new roads,

schools and hospitals is expensive, and the treasury doesn't approve of overspending, so will this reorganisation make a difference? i think, if it ends up that they have more joined up working together, as we had under cameron and 0sborne, that will be a very good thing. if it ends up in the kind of space where the treasury to some 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. the great work that was done by my predecessors is a good friend of mine but also all of the parties

that came together to make sure that we found that executive back—up the new decade new approach agreement is something that we are absolutely committed to. my job something that we are absolutely committed to. myjob is actually building on back delivery on that promise. my focus is making sure that we make a brilliant success of the new direction, a new agreement to make sure it will be delivering for people across northern ireland. the scottish conservatives have a new leader. jackson ca rlaw —— 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 the court of appeal has ruled that an estranged muslim couple — who'd had an islamic wedding ceremony, and had four children — cannot legally divorce because their marriage isn't recognised in law. an earlier ruling had accepted that their vows were similar to those of a british marriage contract. danjohnson gave us this update

from the court of appeal. it was argued for all intents and purposes that she and her husband, had been married for 18 years. he had been married for 18 years. he had gone through a ceremony in 1998 islamic wedding after that they refer to each other as husband and wife. he had had four children, pay moved abroad for five years to live in dubai and that marriage wasn't recognised by the authorities there. they were treated by friends and family asa they were treated by friends and family as a married couple. it's only when the relationship broke down in 2016, pappas became a real issue. she sought to clarify if the marriage was in by law. how i can and should be because they had intended at the time the three have and death to a civil ceremony as

claims she mentioned that to the partner she regarded as husband and again on numerous occasions. but he had never happened. if that happened, if i went to bed at recognised in law, she would have been entitled and have it declared null and void. she could have a financial settlement, ask for even more of her partner's sets. even though the high court ruled in her favour in 2018, to date the appeal judges said there never was any recognised marriage. therefore they overturned the ruling. it case you could set a precedence for muslim cost couples. lots islamic ceremony but not a single one that is recognised. it is at least potentially thousands of the women voted without protection if their
