why did you go see michael gove, it wasn't just to see larry?l gove, it wasn'tjust to see the cats. no, they passed the time while he was answering questions in the house of commons. i went in there to ask some questions as part of a pool interview, so here is michael gove talking about the big picture and this idea of a canada style free trade agreement. i think there are a range of voices, michelle barnier has always been clear that a canada style tra d e has always been clear that a canada style trade agreement is one that the eu would be more than happy with and of course we believe this would bea and of course we believe this would be a straightforward thing to the eu to do, that is already a precedent for taking to do, that is already a precedent fortaking an to do, that is already a precedent for taking an off—the—shelf deal and making sure it works for both parties. don't forget the withdrawal agreement. this is going to be a massive problem this year, already the eu is very upset about the northern ireland protocol, a lot of businesses

it might not be michael gove.. is that likely? i think thatis been touted. is that likely? i think that is likely. he was an early adopter of boris. he was involved in his leadership campaign. he is going places. dcms is a good place to start your cabinet career. ok, thank you both very much for your thoughts today with the first news of a sacking, julian smith has been removed from his post as northern ireland secretary. more on that coming up. but right now, the weather. carol kirkwood has the latest. good morning. this morning we have seen some heavy rain moving north and east. a lot of it is clearing. as it bumped into the cold air across northern england, the southern half of scotla nd northern england, the southern half of scotland and northern ireland, some of us had some snow. squally showers behind it. some of those will be heavy with gail force winds. a cold start in the north of scotland. you will see some sunshine later. wherever you are today it is going to be a blustery or a windy day. these black ci

an optimistic michael gove.ister met former rough sleepers and workers at a homelessness charity in london as his government announced plans to eradicate the problem by 202a. borisjohnson described the rough sleeping crisis as "totally unacceptable" and said the numbers on the streets were "way too high". new government figures show a fall in the numbers for a second year. but in a statement to mp5, the housing secretary, accepted more needed to be done. this conservative government has made it an overriding priority to end rough sleeping by the end of this parliament. there is a great deal more to do and we must be honest with ourselves about the scale of the challenge and tackle it head on with renewed vigour. that's why i am pleased that prime minister and i announcing that dame louise casey will lead a review into rough sleeping. dame louise is a former homelessness tsar. mrjenrick had a further announcement. the government has today announced £236 million of new money for move0n accommodation. safely suppor

no, i think the question about michael gove is what role does he have?national trade, the business department. it sounds like thatis business department. it sounds like that is not happening but michael gove very much at the centre of things at the cabinet office, and trying to really make sure across government departments that the post brexit fallout goes according to plan. 0k, plan. ok, thank you very much. much more on these div elements coming up on newsroom live, but we have to say goodbye note to viewers on bbc two. continuing our coverage here on bbc newsroom live this afternoon of these surprise developments in the cabinet reshuffle, certainly no surprises on this scale were expected. the news that sajid javid has resigned as chancellor. we are told that he decided that rather than obey the orders of the prime minister to sack his advisory team, he has instead turned down what is often considered to be the second most important job in often considered to be the second most importantjob in government as chancellor. just a few weeks away from that

but he's someone who was close to michael gove, but came out very early for borisjohnson.arly for boris johnson. and maybe gove, but came out very early for borisjohnson. and maybe that's got something to do with it? loyalty cou nts something to do with it? loyalty counts in politics, so it will be a bsently counts in politics, so it will be absently fascinating to see what he does with it. all the gigs are held by brexiteers at. i fell into this trap of thinking withdrawal agreements are done, we don't need to have that brexit and remain budget. i talk to someone early today, and it was like have we all missed a trick here? looking forward to what will happen, has there been a clear out because we don't want any more eruptions over whether we will extend the transition period and things like that? it could be we get to october and we are right back where we were last year. rishi sunak was on the television a while ago saying it doesn't matter if we don't have a trade deal with the eu. michael gove has more powerfrom today, completely in charge of the cabinet office and al

we have had michael gove and the heathrow expansion breaking news. the uk's entry for this year's eurovision song contest has been announced. james newman will represent the uk at the competition in rotterdam in may with this song called my last breath. the force of life is with you and there is nothing that can stop you if you control it. # some people let go. # some people let go. # some people let go. # some people let love slip away. # some people let love slip away. # but i'm going to hold on. # but i'm going to hold on. #no # but i'm going to hold on. # no one believes i'll keep the faith. # and faith. #andl faith. # and i know there will be real trouble. # but trouble. #butl trouble. # but i swear that we will survive. # but i swear that we will survive. #if # but i swear that we will survive. # ifwe # but i swear that we will survive. # if we were deep sea divers. # if we were deep sea divers. # and no one came beside us. # and no one came beside us. #if # and no one came beside us. # if you have nothing left. # if you have nothing left. # if

let's listen to michael gove.cess to our waters to access to eu markets. our fishing waters are our sovereign resource. and we will determine other countries access to our resources on our terms. michael gove again. a lot of tough talk we have already seen ahead of these trade talks. is the reality though that once the two sides get down to the negotiating table, in the end both sides do want and need a deal with yellow both sides definitely want one. things could get worse before they get better. people on both sides talking gloomily, the whole thing could break down in a few weeks and particularly that idea of the level playing field. it's a fundamental issue on both sides. the usain they have to protect their market, and the uk so you have to accept our market. they go behind—the—scenes and when things calm down in quiet rooms, they negotiate language to try and get through that. one of the problems is the type timetable. it is possible to do a deal in the timetable but the uk has now said if we get to june tim

closely with michael gove and then it was in the brexit campaign and now he‘s with boris.s not exactly welcome. one thing to say, is that the government is so inert and that it has failings and too many government accepts those failings is inevitable. cummings wants to change those. the question is whether he will change them for the better or the worse? de liken? i can only judge as a personal figure —— political figure. judge as a personal figure —— politicalfigure. i judge as a personal figure —— political figure. i cannot judge as a personal figure —— politicalfigure. i cannot give judge as a personal figure —— political figure. i cannot give a personal opinion. you‘re watching afternoon live, these are our headlines... the chancellor sajid javid resigns in a shock move during the prime minister‘s government reshuffle out too are theresa villiers, andrea leadsom, esther mcveigh, and the northern ireland secretary julian smith, who oversaw the restoration of devolved government at stormont. a steep rise in the number of deaths from coronavirus in china — yesterday was t

this is defamation of our prime minister the beautiful thing the sort of themself has said it michael gove himself has said the half of the front bench of admitted dabbling in class a drugs lost at university was diseased so this is the german court in that we wanted to see more of in the last election frankly and any leader of the labor party any socialist leader is going to have to be a lot more confrontational direct irreverent all those things that we're dealing with in this new click. ok but the government is saying that the deportations of people of color are nothing to do with race or class course or is not to do with it just so happens that there ought to make and then being sort of i mean this is the kind of poppycock gaslighting discussions of race from race that i think most people of color are being subjected to in the country there's something so overtly and obviously racist that's a dog whistle to most of the country there's still a an error plus a pool deniability about. what we've got to deal with criminality we've got to deal with drug abuse etc when you put these things e

she is tipped to be going, people thought she is not so much focused on herjob the same way that michael goveew labour ministerfor something that luke pollard as the new labour minister for the department — and he wrote for labourlist talking about how she is up labourlist talking about how she is upfor labourlist talking about how she is up for thejob. labourlist talking about how she is up for the job. in the meantime she hasn't really done anything much with that department. that is going to be very important over the coming yea rs. we to be very important over the coming years. we know the climate crisis is going to be leading to more flooding, for instance, what is going to affect those seats that the tories have just one. they might not have thought that was important but this weekend, with the storms, the environment is back in if headlines and it is affecting voters directly and immediately. if headlines and it is affecting voters directly and immediatelym will be interesting to see who boris johnson puts in that role. in the past they have been junior nobodies and it is a sign they d

i'm delivering on that commitment while cameron campaigned hard to remain tory heavyweights like michael gove and boris johnson more of him later went to correct it and they got a narrow win 51.8 percent so just for a while one. having lost cameron wasn't going to stick around paving the way for theresa may to assume the top drop to quickly change their tune from hard to remain a 2 pragmatic pull the trigger an article 50 that the talks begin bricks it means bricks it breaks it means breaks ranks it continues to mean the brics it but with only a small majority in the commons the new prime minister if it should never get a deal through she called an early election to boost us numbers but it didn't quite pay off labor leader jeremy corbyn astounded the critics forcing a hung parliament and to cling to power they had no choice but to team up with the northern irish units the do you pig we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for government in parliament that proved to be a major point of contention the e.u. offered a bret's it deal with an all ireland backstop to avoi

sticking around, the foreign secretary dominic raab, as is the home secretary priti patel, and michael govefice minister. there is a big new cabinet job for this man, alok sharma. this reshuffle is still a work in progress. stay tuned. mrjavid's departure comes less than a month before the budget. our business editor, simon jack, is here. a new boss at the treasury, what difference will that make? we heard earlier this is a concentration of power in number ten, nevertheless number 11 has nominal responsibility for putting together the budget. it is no secret sajid javid had become known as chancellor in name only. he wa nted known as chancellor in name only. he wanted to be an old—fashioned kind of conservative chancellor who tried to balance the books in a fiscally prudent way. that is not what number ten is looking to do, so the pound has risen quite significantly today on the basis they think the spending ta ps on the basis they think the spending taps can be turned on even stronger during the budget. that will mean higher gdp so the pound is gaining. they think they will be more fiscal

alcohol and things like that but food needs health certificates and animal health certificates and michael goved more of these checks are not everything that comes into the uk is checked or examined but food definitely is and it's one of those things that will be an issue for us, proving the origin of goods, how they have been certified and how the paperwork works and more importantly, we have theissue works and more importantly, we have the issue around fisheries where the eu said they would give us a 0% on ta riffs eu said they would give us a 0% on tariffs as long as we do a deal on the fisheries, so that will be an issue for us all. leslie, we're out of time but thank you very much. good to see you. still to come. london's ca nary wharf looks set to be the brand new home of a major new tech hub and the man behind the scheme will be here to explain why. you're with worklife from bbc news. storms ciara and dennis have left thousands of people suffering the effects of flooding, and there's more bad weather to come. small businesses are particularly at risk, as they struggle to get insurance in

empire which britain seems to be wanting to forward with the likes of dominic cummings and michael gove and. flogging waving the flag as we used to try to companies are selling around the world taking stuff again now my concern is that by not coming under the auspices of the european court of justice we're not going to be held accountable how on earth is the british government ever going to be held accountable for the sins that it commits as a state at home and overseas if we don't have a higher court to answer to so i think britain is is perfectly poised to be able to do exactly what it wants when the last 30 seconds to you. well i think the l the models the parson and the marbles represent a fantastic moment in human history which is about democracy and about the idea of people. governing themselves and that's what greece is. important about and i think in terms of brecht's it that discussion about it is a discussion about democracy it's about solvency it's there's no point in kind of really hashing old historical arguments when we are when i think we're in a completely new place wher

remember back in the days they worked in the coalition government at the education department under michael govert of a wider problem, perhaps the government is right about the need of things to change? but that does not go down well with the civil—service. change? but that does not go down well with the civil—servicelj change? but that does not go down well with the civil-service. i think thatis well with the civil-service. i think that is certainly part of the problem and what is been talked about before is changing the furniture in the departments, certainly attempts of changing individual silos and special advisers are not just individual silos and special advisers are notjust attached to one specific minister, by the way comes to the civil—service, if it is a way of doing things people trying to shake that up, there's bound to be friction. this particular friction at the home office has also been reports of the press of other officials being moved and going along with not just officials being moved and going along with notjust priti patel specifically. there are two schools of thought, one

minister was on which side of the on when liam fox was in the cabinet you had to expect with michael michael gove who's opposed to chlorinated you can coming in and folks being a purist free marketeer will have no difficulty with it now ministers tell me it's never coming in because it's become that technical issue we'll see i mean don't you think when you watch that a lot of people in britain will be fearful given the trump is disliked greatly in this country yeah i mean there's a real risk of the you know the risk of we winning the kind of labor election campaign we on the left worry about the. you know the u.s. demand for free market access to the n.h.s. which is kind of something which terrifies everybody and i kind of feel you know a little bit as though we have been held to ransom but you know i'm quite encouraged early days to put boris johnson resisted the clatter in the didn't from the white house over while way and he purse the head with that decision which i think was the right decision and that and we would total the apocalyptic things were going to happen if we didn't listen to the u

let's hear what michael gove said. geography is no reason to undermine democracy.to manically align with eu rules orterms, governed by be seeking to manically align with eu rules or terms, governed by eu institutions. the british people voted to take back control, to bring power home, tighter rules governing this country made by those who are directly accountable to the people of this country, and that is what are delivering. what are the other outstanding areas of concern? time is tight, and we will talk about this before and again, fishing, it is a separate agreement to catch a big one. a tiny pa rt agreement to catch a big one. a tiny part of the economy on both sides of the channel, but very emotive and pa rt the channel, but very emotive and part of the brexit argument for sovereignty. that is an argument that will be held pretty soon, because the two sides have agreed they will try and reach an agreement on fisheries byjune and they disagree profoundly. also and how do you resolve disputes, there are a lot of things which can go wrong, i would not be at all s

michael gove stays as cabinet secretary with new powers.as been promoted from minister to secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs. and suela braverman is the new attorney general who just last week, criticised judges for overreach. let's speak to sebastian payne, whitehall correspondent at the financial times, and olivia utley, deputy leader writer at the sun who is with me here. she's on her way. sebastian, do you spot any pattern in those who are outgoing today? laura talked about less friction. is this what you see in some of these departures? very much so. i think there's a broad theme for this reshuffle. it's about borisjohnson theme for this reshuffle. it's about boris johnson and downing theme for this reshuffle. it's about borisjohnson and downing street taking back control of this government. there are lots of ministers who have been sacked who may have descended from the prime minister or not necessarily always loyal to him. those of the two key themes. if you takejulian smith for example, the northern ireland s

we will get the exact details at about three quarters of an error from michael gove in the house of commons and everyone will get very angry and shouting at each other and once they have got that out of their system everyone will calm down and we will get down to the serious business of trying to negotiate a compromise, and there probably will bea compromise, and there probably will be a compromise. how so? because it is on both sides' interest to have some sort of a deal and bear in mind borisjohnson some sort of a deal and bear in mind boris johnson that compromise some sort of a deal and bear in mind borisjohnson that compromise over the divorce agreement and did agree toa the divorce agreement and did agree to a border in the irish sea, so behind all the tough talk, behind today we will not give no surrender language, at the end of the day deals tend to be done. the headlines on bbc news: with over 40 countries infected with coronavirus, saudi arabia is stopping pilgrims from entering the country over fears about the spread of the virus. warnings of another ten days of flooding misery f

let us have a listen to michael gove, who was speaking this morning in the house of commons.o undermine democracy. to be clear, we will not be seeking to dynamically align with eu rules on eu term is governed by eu laws and eu institutions. the british people voted to take back control, to bring the power home, to have the rules governing this country made by those directly accountable to the people of this country and that is what we are delivering. so that is one big issue of disagreement. it really is quite fundamental because it is between the eu's desire to protect the single market in the uk's desire to reclaim sovereignty. but there are other areas of disagreement. 0ne reclaim sovereignty. but there are other areas of disagreement. one of them will be a difficult one, always emotional — fisheries, a tiny part of the economy on both sides of the channel, but it means a lot. the eu is saying "we want the same access we have now for our boats to your fishing waters" and if they don't give that, they might not give access to their fish to sell the markets. the uk is not pr

michael gove stays as cabinet secretary with new powers.last week, criticised judges for overreach. joining me now is jack blanchard, the editor of politico's london playbook morning newsletter. lots and lots for us to discuss. let's start with his departure. is this a government in disarray, or is this a government in disarray, or is this borisjohnson asserting his authority? it's a bit of both, to be honest. this is not how the government wanted to go today, this was not the plan. borisjohnson had this idea he wants to assert his control over his minister, particularly the treasury which is the most powerful department and government, by choosing who the political advisers are in these department. and although the people don't see that's the public don't see these people, they're important and how the government works and how policies are delivered. so to have downing street controlling all of them is quite a big deal. now he thought sajid javid would go along with that if it meant keeping his job. do you really think he did? i do, they k

around, though, the foreign secretary, dominic raab, as is the home secretary, priti patel, and michael gover. and there's a big new cabinetjob for this man, alok sharma, who will be business secretary and run a crucial summit on climate change the uk is hosting in november. this reshuffle is still a work in progress. stay tuned. so 39—year—old rishi sunak, who was formerly sajid javid's deputy at the treasury, has been appointed to the role of chancellor. but who is he? the son of a gp and a pharmacist, rishi sunak was educated at winchester college, an independent boarding school. he went on to read philosophy, politics and economics at oxford university, and he also studied for an mba at stanford university in california. before entering the world of politics, rishi sunak worked for investment bank goldman sachs. he also co—founded a large investment firm working with global companies. mr sunak was first elected as the member of parliament for richmond in north yorkshire in 2015, succeeding william hague in the safe tory seat. he campaigned for leave in the eu referendum. rishi sunak is m

if you remember when michael gove was outlining the uk's approach this week when the uk released itsssibility for more talks after that, but the current timetable outlined is running up until may. jessica parker, thank you very much. time for a look at the weather... we were pondering on why we have a storm with a j. yes, it is a spanish name and the last couple of stones we have had, storm ciara and storm dennis, the next one should have been storm ellen, that was the next one in the alphabetical list. but this time, the irish weather service and the uk met office where about to name the storm and then the spanish weather service got in on the act, because of the impact it might have there. they named itjorge. so that is now the name of evil stick at. it is out of our sequence and has that different name. we will go back to storm allen probably with the next one, but what isjorge going to bring? a combination of severe weather elements. it is already here, actually. the last couple of storms raced across the atlantic but this one is spinning very close to the british isles. it will

there are 135 words that are controlled, including queen, duke, the royalfamily —— michael gove. anything that suggests royalty if they do it in conjunction with the palace and government here. it is not their decision. they have to make sure they get cooperation. in the long run i do not think it will make a difference to the moneymaking capacity. that is perhaps the key point. they can keep the word sussex because they retain their titles. it could be the sussex foundation? because they retain their titles. it could be the sussex foundation7m could, yes. but only with permission. they would still need to refer back through royal protocol? certainly in the uk. in america, they are popular, just like william and kate. one of the big things we ca re and kate. one of the big things we care about is that they should not fall out with each other because my company does an analysis every year and we demonstrated something like £2.4 billion a year is contributed to the uk economy by the monarchy. they are a powerful influence. in america something like 40% of customers say they would b
