it was a sudden outpouring of rage, hordes of protesters continue to fill the streets in the early hours of the morning. demonstrations have been going on in israel for months, but these protests were spontaneous, as people surged into action. everyone here is in the army and they're serving too. we're going to protect democracy. we're here for democracy. bibi is not here for democracy, thank you very much. the protests were triggered by a one—line statement. israeli tv broke the news the prime minister had sacked the defence minister, yoav gallant. mr gallant is a member of the governing likud party and a former senior general in israel's defence forces. he was the first to break ranks with the prime minister. he said giving the government final say over alljudicial appointments and weakening the powers of the supreme court was a threat to israel's security.

it cost him hisjob. mere hours after his sacking, israel's consul—general in new york quit. he tweeted: mr netanyahu insists the reforms will stop the courts abusing their powers and the people of israel voted for them in the last election. these crowds don't agree. they took over tel aviv�*s main ayalon highway. they set fire on major roads, and a game of cat and mouse ensued injerusalem. protesters evaded security forces, breaching barriers outside mr netanyahu's home. he has to be stopped. this prime minister... ..is not qualified any more.

benjamin netanyahu is going to push the legislation through this week. but protesters are insisting that they are the ones defending israel's democracy. injerusalem, police and soldiers used water cannon against demonstrators near mr netanyahu's house. our middle east correspondent anna foster was there. this is a country which is no stranger to protests now. people have been demonstrating on the streets against this legislation for 12 weeks, but tonight this is a large and spontaneous gathering. this one is here injerusalem. we have followed this crowd as they marched from the residence of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, here to the knesset, the israeli parliament. on their way here, they were sprayed with water from water cannon and had to climb through undergrowth to make it here, but you see that's not deterred these

protesters, thousands of them waving flags, some have brought pots and pans to bang. there is chanting and really strong messages to the israeli government tonight, not just here injerusalem but across the country. tens of thousands of people turning out in tel aviv on the ayalon highway where they have closed the road down because this sacking of israel's defence minister who spoke out against the legislation feels to many people here like a turning point. it feels like a moment when benjamin netanyahu needs to try and keep this country in order. he wants to push the legislation through before the end of the week, and at the moment thousands of people are here on the streets of israel to try and stop him. we will have more from israel shortly. talking to a protester about their view on what is going on. let's get some of the day's other news. south korea's military says north korea has fired at least one unidentified ballistic

meanwhile, a rescue ship funded by british street artist banksy was seized in lampedusa on sunday after italy's coast guard said the boat had disobeyed its instructions, falling foul of new rules for rescue vessels. stephanie prentice reports. it's the rescue boat known for its famous financial backer as well as its top speeds, described by the crew as being able to outrun human traffickers. named after a french feminist anarchist, louise michel has reportedly saved hundreds of migrants at sea over the past three years. but the white and pink vessel provided by the british street artist banksy has now been impounded with no timeline for its release. as far as we are aware, there are at least 15 distress cases as we speak that we could be helping and we're not, because we're not allowed to leave the port. in a series of tweets, its crew described a clash with the italian coast guard on the weekend. they say they were told

to leave an area at sea, but ignored it after coming across 3a people in the water at night. a mother holding an unconscious baby was among those they brought on board. in response, the coast guard said they were complicating delicate rescue work and said charity boats have to stick to a code of conduct. un data suggests that ten times more people are attempting to cross into lampedusa this year compared to last year and at least 29 migrants have died in recent days. but tunisia is a country facing instability on many fronts and with better weather conditions on the horizon, the number of people trying to reach italy is sure to increase, and so are clashes between the coast guard and rescuers. stephanie prentice, bbc news. time now for the sport. hello, i'm marc edwards with your sports news. manager antonio conte has left tottenham hotspur "by mutual consent". the italianjoined spurs

in november 2021, leading them to fourth place last season and into the champions league. however, he has come under criticism this season for exits in the fa cup and in europe, as well as the style of play. the writing was on the wall after conte launched into a rant about the club before the international break. he called the spurs players "selfish" and criticised the club's culture in a remarkable news conference after their 3—3 draw at southampton. now, to the euro 2024 qualifiers. england's footballers continued their winning start, qualifying with a comfortable victory over ukraine at wembley. building on their first away win against italy since 1961, england's record scorer harry kane made it 55 international goals, scoring eight minutes before half—time. the second came from bukayo saka into the top corner. sam burns captured the biggest title of his career by winning the wgc match play championship on sunday, routing cameron young six and five in

an all—american final. ranked 15 in the world, burns took a $3.5 million top prize at austin country club in texas, thanks to eight birdies in the last ten holes. that finish helped him beat young, who was last year's open runner—up. it was phenomenal day for burns, who defeated the defending champion scottie scheffler in the morning semifinals while young, last year's pga rookie of the year, beat third—ranked rory mcilroy in 19 holes. this has been an absolute blast for me. i think, you this has been an absolute blast for me. ithink, you know, to come here for my first time and play as well as i did and get to compete against the best players in the world, i'm so grateful and i don't know what else to say i can't think straight right now — but i'm very thankful. defending champion carlos alcaraz is into the last 16 of the miami open after seeing off dusan lajovic in straight sets. alcaraz returned to the world number one spot last week after lifting the trophy in indian wells, and he's taken that confidence into florida. he's won 16 of 17 matches this year and has not dropped a set

in his last two tournaments, the 19—year—old defending champion coming through 6—0, 7—6 to set up a meeting with american tommy paul. defending champion francesco bagnaia has won motogp�*s season—opening portuguese grand prix. marc marquez started on pole but crashed out early in the race when he appeared to barge into local favourite miguel oliveira. marquez suffered a suspected fractured hand in the incident. there was no stopping italian bagnaia on his ducati, though, and he leads the early standings ahead of maverick vinales and marco bezzecchi. finally, japanese teenage sensation taiga hasegawa claimed his first world cup slopestyle victory in switzerland on sunday. only three riders laid down clean runs on the first attempt, but the 17—year—old produced an outstanding second run to score 92.00. that helped him to finish three points clear of canada's liam brearley and means hasegawa has his second win on the world cup circuit this season following his victory in a big air event injanuary.

you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the sport team, goodbye. see you in the next few moments. hello there. the second half of the weekend marked a change to our weather. we saw cold arctic air spreading southwards slowly during sunday and the cold air will be with us to start the new week, so monday — cold, dry and bright for most of us. however, it's very short—lived because from tuesday onwards, it turns wetter and windy again and much milder, thanks to atlantic low pressure systems. but this area of high pressure is what's to bring us a fine day for monday. but we are in this cold air mass, as you can see here from the blue colour, so a cold, frosty start for many. still some wintry showers affecting northern and eastern coasts — a risk of ice here early on. any mist and fog will fade away, it stays sunny into the afternoon — just the chance of the odd light shower here and there but most places should stay dry. and after that cold start, temperatures reaching highs of around 7—10 — we could be up to ii in the south—west

as cloudy and breeze starts to pick up here. as we move through monday night, we start to see this frontal system working its way into western areas, so temperatures will pick up across western areas. where the rain bumps into the cold air, it's likely to turn into snow over high ground. it's going to be another chilly night across eastern scotland and eastern england. tuesday, we're very much dominated by low pressure once again, and these weather fronts bringing outbreaks of rain. you can see the white colours there, indicating a bit of transient snow on the leading edge of that rain band as it spreads northwards. generally, it's going to be a cloudy, breezy day with outbreaks of rain here and there. a few drier interludes at times. and the temperatures will be lifting — up to 12 in the west, still quite cool across more eastern areas. it's not until we get into wednesday where we really start to usher in some very mild air indeed around this area of low pressure. you can see the yellow and even orange colours starting to push northwards and eastwards, so a very mild start to the day on wednesday. lots of cloud around, limited brightness, outbreaks of rain spilling up

from the south and the west, moving northwards. some of it will be quite heavy at times. look at these temperatures — we're up to the mid teens for many of us, certainly for england and wales and northern ireland. double figures across scotland, too. stays unsettled for thursday and friday. sunshine and showers for thursday. friday, we could see a potent, deep area of low pressure spread across the country to bring a risk of gales. it does look like, i think, on friday, the risk of gales will be around southern and western coasts. certainly, across england and wales, it will be windy. both days unsettled but both days very mild.
