a suspected right—wing extremist has shot dead nine people in germany. the 43—year—old — named by german media as tobias r — attacked people in two shisha smoking bars in the city of hanau — with many of the victims said to be turkish. it's believed the attacker then shot dead his mother before killing himself. the authorities say he had expressed extreme xenophobic views in a manifesto and video. the attack comes amid growing conerns about far right violence in germany. paul adams reports horror in the centre of hanau late last night. "there has just been a whole lot of shooting," this onlooker says. "some guy went in with a weapon and started picking people off." i heard a loud shooting. bang, bang, bang! i heard this, everybody,

the person run, scream. and much panic. minutes later, a mile away, and the police arrive at the scene of a second attack, on another shisha bar. once again, the victims mostly thought to be of turkish origin. translation: i got a call from a colleague that there had been a shooting attack here at the kiosk and so i came straight here. then i heard my father was affected and my little brother. they run the kiosk. but then i saw them both. they were horrified and they were crying and everything. amid rumours of more than one gunman, the police launched a seven—hour manhunt but witnesses led officers to a house near the second shooting. there they found a 43—year—old man and his 72—year—old mother. both were dead. german media reports say the suspect was a german citizen and that ammunition and gun magazines were found in his car.

the authorities are now examining a video he is thought to have posted in recent days in which he discusses right—wing conspiracy theories. translation: a lot of evidence points towards that the perpetrator acted out of far—right and racist motives that stemmed from a hatred towards people with different heritage, different beliefs, or a different look to him. racism is a poison. hatred is a poison. and this poison exists in our society and is responsible for far too many crimes. concerns about far—right violence in germany are on the rise. this appears to be the third such attack since last summer. paul adams, bbc news. our security correspondent frank gardner is here. what more do we know about the killer? quite a lot, actually. because the authorities are

currently studying a manifesto he published online in a few days ago, oi’ published online in a few days ago, or which has been published in the name of the suspect, in which he espouses these very extreme, xenophobic views. he is an educated man, a3. he said he was born in cullen and went to university. he writes an absolutely flawless german, what is known as higher german. but he then goes off into rumblings about racial superiority, he is anti—foreign, anti—muslim, he calls for the destruction of certain countries. he even believes president trump has stolen his ideas on the authorities are looking into his head. the worrying thing is that this is a man who illegally held a hunting licence. germany has quite strict gun control laws. to become a hunter, tojoin strict gun control laws. to become a hunter, to join the strict gun control laws. to become a hunter, tojoin the hunting lobby in germany, you have to pass stringent exams, you have to learn a new language. he had done all of that, he was legal. and yet his mind was somewhere else. clearly, the authorities are going to have to go

back over and work out why somebody we these extreme views was allowed to own a weapon, which he then turned on his fellow human beings. more heavy rain is forecast for parts of the uk already hard hit by storm dennis, with many people anxiously watching to see whether flood defences will hold over the coming days. there are currently more than 120 flood warnings in place across england, wales and scotland. details have emerged of a dramatic rescue of a 62—year—old woman stranded in the floods. tomos morgan is by the river wye in monmouthshire with more details on that. tomos. just tell us exactly what happened? this happened at eight o'clock on monday morning, when jeff this happened at eight o'clock on monday morning, whenjeff was walking through to take some photos of the river wye, which flooded the area where he lived. he realised there was an object in the middle of

there was an object in the middle of the water, so he started traversing along the bank. as he got closer, he realised there was a woman in the middle of the water, sitting on top ofa middle of the water, sitting on top of a car. he called out to her and realised she was in real danger, freezing cold, had been there for an indefinite amount of time and needed help. he started to call for help. mark smith, who was trying to get to work, came over to help him, but could not get through due to the flooding on the road. his son, adam, was there. they made the decision they could not wait for the emergency services, as the woman had been there so long, they have to make a decision and try and save her. she was sat in the water still because the top of the car was submerged. oh, gosh, she was in a state. you've just got to get out of that cold water, really, and get some warmer clothes on, dry clothes. do you remember, boys? that bit when she kept doing this as well, when you were out there? and that was, like, she's gone. she was going unconscious. she was drifting in and out. we had to get her out from there. we got her on and then we were basically... stripped her down and put warm clothing on her and having to run

back and come back with coffee... more blankets and stuff. we put a load of sugar in it — she doesn't take sugar but tough! and we cuddled her, basically, and talked to her. she came around in a bit. gradually, gradually came around. jeff, mark and adam have managed to get in contact with a 62—year—old woman, who is in hospital in gloucestershire. they understand she is recovering well now. the wye, as you can is recovering well now. the wye, as you can see, is recovering well now. the wye, as you can see, has begun to retreat and is falling back within its banks. thankfully, the flood warnings and weather warnings in wales are starting to recede and we finally come to the end of the storm dennis. an evacuation flight for about 70 british people stranded on the corona—virus hit cruise ship injapan will leave tokyo tomorrow. officials say they'll be placed in quarantine in a hospital on the wirral for ia days.

it comes as two japanese passengers on the diamond princess, both in their eighties, have died after contracting the virus. laura bicker reports from yokahama. after two weeks stuck in a cabin, this walk to freedom must feel glorious. exit, stage right! these australian passengers document their final moments aboard the diamond princess. goodbye! thank you for everything. just a few final health checks to go through before they make their way to the airport and home. many others were told that they too could leave, and they couldn't contain their glee. but, as one british passenger explained, not everyone has received good news. some people have got to do another ia days on the ship because their partner has been taken to hospital. but it is just a major inconvenience to us. and when i think of the other people, people on the inside cabins

who have got no daylight coming in at all, it's horrific, really. worse was to come. word quickly spread that two elderly passengers had died. a sobering reminder of why this quarantine matters. for the hundreds of passengers left on the ship, including 70 brits, who have all tested negative for coronavirus, this is the last night that they have to spend in their cabins. but their ordeal isn't over. once they get home, they'll face another ia days of quarantine. in china, at the epicentre of the outbreak, doctors told state media they would work to stamp out the virus. and there was more positive publicity, as health officials reported a sharp decrease in new infections, although questions remain over china's official figures. elsewhere in east asia, they were reporting a dramatic increase in cases. in south korea, one church service has infected dozens, and one person has died.

the mayor of the country's fourth largest city has ordered everyone to stay indoors. thousands of us forces at a nearby base have also been banned from leaving. the passengers aboard the diamond princess have felt the real impact of this epidemic. but while their nightmare journey nears its end, this virus continues to take its toll. laura bicker, bbc news, yokohama. people across china are having their movements restricted in an attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus. the lockdown is strictest in hubei province where the outbreak started but elsewhere too businesses have had to close and streets are almost empty. our correspondent stephen mcdonell reports from beijing. beijing's underground train network is eerily quiet. on a normal day, there are 10 million trips on this system. during the coronavirus emergency,

you can sit wherever you like. the lunar new year break was extended. many companies are either closed or letting staff work from home. human contact is seen as dangerous. anyone who has been to beijing and has had a look around this area of the city would not recognise this intersection. i meet a cleaner heading back to work to make his dinner and ask if he is worried that, by putting items in bags, he has risked contracting the virus. translation: i am worried but i wash my hands frequently. when i get back, i wash them really thoroughly. translation: nothing to worry about in the open, just keep your distance from people. i ask this office worker how many of his colleagues have returned to work. translation: people whose hometowns are outside beijing have not come back yet. but the locals have started to. this is what's keeping china

going at the moment, these delivery guys, because even though the coronavirus fears are everywhere, they're keeping everybody fed, they're still delivering stuff to people's houses. right now only residents are allowed into housing estates. so you have got to show your id here? i ask how this guy is feeling. translation: actually, a bit nervous. the illness is really serious. you can imagine that the close confines of a bus is the type of place people would be worried, in terms of coming into contact with someone who has the coronavirus. hands on surfaces and the like, so everybody coming on as their temperature checked. and most people we talk to, they don't seem to mind this. they know that it is part of trying to control this emergency and they are cutting the government quite a bit of slack. life could be like this here for months. stephen mcdonell, bbc news, beijing. the time is 13 minutes past one.

our top story this lunchtime.... nine people are dead after a suspected far right extremist in germany attacks two shisha smoking bars. many of the victims are believed to have been turkish. and how the italian football club roma helped six missing children to be found, including three from the uk. coming up on bbc news: roger federer will miss the french open after knee surgery. he says he's confident of a full recovery, but it will take him beyond the second major of the season. rival contenders for the us presidency have rounded on the billionaire mike bloomberg as he took part in his first televised debate to choose a democrat candidate to challenge donald trump. mr bloomberg came under sustained attack over his record as mayor of new york and his alleged sexist behaviour. our correspondent, sophie long,

watched the debate in las vegas. announcer: the democratic presidential debate, live from las vegas, nevada. and there's a new person on the stage tonight, mayor michael bloomberg. enter the new contender. the pre—debate exchanges promised an explosive evening and that is what they delivered. let's talk about who we're running against, a billionaire who calls women "fat broads" and "horse—faced lesbians". and no, i'm not talking about donald trump, i'm talking about mayor bloomberg. this was his response to all the opening accusations. i think we have two questions to face tonight. one is who can beat donald trump and, number two, who can do the job if they get into the white house? and i would argue that i am the candidate that can do exactly both of those things. unsurprisingly, no—one on stage agreed. he didn't get a whole lot done. he had stop and frisk, throwing close to five million young black men up against a wall.

his defence against accusations of sexism was stumbling. about two weeks ago we were awarded... uh, we were voted the, uh, most fam—... the best place to work — second best place in america. if it doesn't say something about our employees and how happy they are, i don't know what does. i hope you heard what his defence was. "i've been nice to some women". laughter. thatjust doesn't cut it. questions about sexism led to questions about transparency. so, mr mayor, are you willing to release all of those women from those nondisclosure agreements so we can hear their side of the story? applause we have a very few nondisclosure agreements. how many is that? let me finish.

how many is that? none of them accuse me of doing anything other than — maybe they didn't like the joke i told. audience groans he did land a few blows of his own and a cheer when he reminded the audience that bernie sanders, the self—declared democratic socialist, was also a millionaire that owned three houses. michael bloomberg was given a pretty rough ride by his fellow candidates, but his name is not on the ballot here in nevada on saturday. the first time his name will appear on paper is super tuesday, in two weeks' time. and there's a lot of television ads that can run and a lot of money that can be spent between now and then. sophie long, bbc news, las vegas. voting gets under way next week in the labour leadership and deputy leadership contests. we've been looking in depth at the three candidates hoping to become leader of the opposition. today, our political correspondent leila nathoo profiles the shadow brexit secretary, keir starmer. the first thing we need to do is be united. united as a party and a movement.

applause keir starmer is pitching himself as the person to bring the labour party back together, who can unite fans of both jeremy corbyn and tony blair. we cannot fight the tories if we're fighting each other. factionalism has to go. he's a self—proclaimed moral socialist. i don't accept the argument that private is good and public is bad. you don't have a good private sector if you don't have a very strong public sector. but my priority is making sure that we have tackled, or are capable of tackling that gross inequality. and he doesn't think the fact that he's from london will stop him winning back former labour heartlands in the north. nobody has ever said to me, you're a londoner, they've said you've come to me to talk and have a discussion, your decent about it and i trust you. despite being part of a mass walk—out from jeremy corbyn's front bench in 2016, keir starmer was soon back as shadow brexit secretary.

it is not possible to guarantee no tariffs under a new deal brexit. no, technological solutions are not currently available in relation to the border in northern ireland. and, no, the uk cannot cherry—pick their withdrawal agreement. but he was instrumental in the big picture, too, eventually steering labour's brexit policy towards backing a further referendum, with the option to remain in the eu. when that time comes, i will campaign for remain, alongside millions of other people in this country. that policy ultimately failed to convince voters. but keir starmer wants to put those arguments behind him. he wants to use the party's 2017 manifesto as a foundational document, and is promising to continue the radicalism of the corbyn years. keir starmer only became an mp in 2015. before that, he made his name in human rights law, having studied at leeds and oxford universities. as a barrister, he was involved in several high—profile cases, including defending environmental activists against mcdonald's in the so—called mclibel case.

they've achieved nothing so far apart from adverse publicity. they've everything to lose. if they win the case, it will be a paper victory, with no meaning at all, because of the inequality. and if they lose, it will be disastrous. his successful legal career culminated in becoming director of public prosecutions in 2008, and later earned him a knighthood for services to law. but he is keen to stress he has always been on the side of the powerless, and his campaign was boosted when he was endorsed by the uk's biggest union, unison. he is named after labour's first parliamentary leader, keir hardie, and now keir starmer hopes to follow in his footsteps. leila nathoo, our political correspondent come up with that report. a man has appeared in court charged with the murder of six—year—old rikki neave who was found strangled in woodland 25 years ago. rikki disappeared after leaving home to walk to school in 199a. his body was found the following day. james watson, of no fixed address, appeared before court in peterborough. he was 13 years old at

the time of rikki's death. lecturers and other staff at more than 70 universities have begun a two—week—long strike that will affect more than a million students. the walkout is the latest industrial action in a lengthy dispute over pay, pensions and conditions. universities have promised to try and minimise the impact on students. what the bank of england is calling its most secure note yet will be in circulation in two weeks' time. the new £20 note featuring the artist turner is made from polymer — a thin plastic — and includes two see—through windows and a colour foil to help beat forgers. a ground—breaking social media campaign by the italian football club roma has helped find six missing children — three of them from the uk. the club showed pictures of missing children alongside their transfer announcements.

and they're now hoping other clubs will follow suit, as alistair magowan reports. peter boxell has been searching for his missing teenage son for 32 years. my son, lee, absolutely loved football. he was a great supporter of sutton united football club. sadly, in 1988, september, lee was really keen to go and see a football match at the start of the season. and he went with a friend to sutton. his friend changed his mind and went home. sadly, he didn't come home. italian club roma got involved by posting videos of missing children when they announced recent transfer signings. peter's son was one of those featured and, although it didn't help find lee, six children pictured in the videos were found, including three from london. raising awareness of missing people is a source of great pride to the players here at their rome training base. so, what was your reaction when you sort of first heard that one of the kids featured

in your video had been found? yeah, i think it was a really sort of powerful moment for me. obviously, it is an amazing thing for the family but i feel like, evenjust being a small part of it and helping... being a father now, i think not knowing where your child is i think is one of the most toughest things to have to deal with in life. the inspiration behind the idea came from a song by soul asylum in the early 1990s. the video for their hit runaway train showed missing children from across europe and america. # runaway train never going back... roma decided on a similar campaign and have now shown 132 children from 12 different countries. i think we are looking at a campaign on may 25th, which is international missing child day, when we try and unite the football world. we feel if man united and liverpool and barcelona and bayern munich, if all these clubs come together, you know, the impact we could have could be incredible. it is absolutely amazing. i mean, even if one child is reunited, it is so worthwhile

doing and ijust hope that other clubs will follow suit and do the same thing. alistair mcgowan, bbc news. it's understood that the home secretary, priti patel, has tried to move the most senior civil servant in her department. a source has told bbc news there was "genuine disagreement" between her and the permanent secretary at the home office. our correspondent danny shaw is here. what more can you tell us? sir philip rutnam is the permanent secretary at the home office and has been there for almost three years and was caught up in the controversy when amber rudd had to resign during the windrush affair and since reddy patel has come to the home has been a number of disagreements between them. i've been told that they are simply not the right fit for each other —— priti patel. she has tried to move him from the department and even tried to get downing street to street to intervene to get him transferred. he is still in post at the moment, not unusualfor cabinet ministers to want to shuffle official to ground but to try to

remove the most senior is a pretty big step to take put that there had been some allegations in the papers that priti patel has been bullying and belittling officials but that is strongly denied by people close to her but they say she is a demanding minister. she does seek a lot of information from her officials but they say she is not someone who is rude and those claims are denied. thank you, danny. deontay wilder and tyson fury have been squaring up to each other ahead of their world heavyweight title rematch this weekend. at their las vegas press conference they ramped up the theatrics, as ade adedoyin reports. no punches thrown but lots of verbal blows exchanged. welcome to big time boxing where controversy sells. you ain't nothing! sit down! fiery, pantomime at times, more of a performance than a press conference with both trying to claim the leading role. when i found you, you was like a big

house, so don't you ever forget who brought you to big—time boxing! i brought you back, i provided food and put food on your table for your family to eat. i've given him the biggest paydays of his whole life, got him a big contract with showtime, brought him to the biggest stage in the world, being las vegas and here he is, this is how he thanks me. he's got a whole lot of appreciation for someone who has fed him, looked after him, and put millions in his account. so that is the hype but what about the fight? fury was almost knocked out in their first bout but showed amazing powers of recovery, but how concerned is he about wilder's punching power? we fight fire with fire. the confidence i take into this fight enables me to take confidence from going forward at him. i have never lost a dogfight, ever. even when i have got off the floor, even in round 12 when i went at him, aggressive, he was all over the show. he couldn't contain me. if i do that from round one, he is going to be gassing by round five and hanging on for dear life, if he even gets that far. fury did not speak to the media

afterwards but wilder left the arena like a man content. it's nervous energy, he had nervous energy throughout his camp, through the preparation, that's why he's changing so many things. if a man says he beat me ten to two, that is a wide margin so that means you need little or nothing changing. but due to the fact that he changed up, it means a lot, you know what i'm saying? with that being said, i'm looking forward to the fight. those changes are reference to fury switching coaches after their first fight. that bout in 2018 was dramatic. saturday looks likely to be the same. ade adedoyin, bbc news, las vegas. dame julie walters has revealed she's had treatment for bowel cancer. she said she had surgery and chemotherapy following the diagnosis eighteen months ago but says a recent scan has given her the ‘all clear‘ she's been speaking to victoria derbyshire. julie walters is one of our greatest actors, having been on our screens for more

than a0 years. she has won countless awards and is regarded as a national treasure. how are you? i'm really well. look at you, you look fab. look at you. but in 2018, her life stopped in its tracks. how have you been? very well now but obviously 18 months ago, wasn't so good. when i was diagnosed with bowel cancer, stage three. two primary tumours in my large intestine. a year before that, i had been to the gp because i had indigestion, terrible indigestion, and a slight bit of... really slight, i saw my own gp so she sent me to see a gastric surgeon. and he said, we found an abnormality. and i thought... yeah? and he said, in your intestine. i said, right, what is it? he said, well, i'm worried it's cancer. your immediate reaction was...

shock. first of all, shock. and i thought, right, and then you hold onto the positive which is that he said, we can fix this. your wonderful friend victoria wood... yeah. two years previously to you being diagnosed, she died of cancer. yeah. you must have thought about her when you got your diagnosis? oh, god, yeah. i thought of her loads, and how frightened she must have been. because at least i could have an operation. she couldn't, they couldn't operate where her cancer was. and so i didn't think about that but the other thing i thought was, god, the last time i saw her was in the hospital, sitting by the bed and obviously saw her at home and everything before that, and i thought... and i had it at the same time. yeah. so, could the secret garden be your last film? it's possible, yeah. it's possible. but, you know, something might come up, but i think i would approach it in a very different... it would have to be something i really engaged with. and that didn't have a killing schedule. and that...

i'm not saying i'll never act again, but it has made me feel i don't want to do it at the moment, i don't think i can go back to... certainly not six days a week, five days a week, five in the morning until seven o'clock at night. with a big part and having to learn lines and the stress of it. bowel cancer, because it involves your bottom, it can't stop people going to the doctors because they are embarrassed or they are afraid. what would you say to them about that? your bowel is part of your digestive system. it is just what digests your food, you just have to remember that. and it's just, you've got to go and get things checked. doctors are used to bottoms, they have got one themselves! hopefully! and you can watch victoria derbyshire's full interview with damejulie walters on our website at bbc.co.uk/victoria. time for a look at the weather, here's ben rich.
