appreciate your time and i wish you a lovely evening. he's just 16, but he 5 taken the world of professional darts by storm. this evening, luke littler from warrington has made yet more history, reaching the world darts championship final. he only finished his gcses last summer, but he could now earn £500,000 if he wins the final tomorrow. so how's he coping with the pressure and overnight stardom? well, he says he wakes up, plays on his xbox, has some food, and has a chuck on the board. joining me now, someone who knows a thing or two about sporting success at a young age — and the psychology that goes with it — former table tennis champion, now author, matthew syed. thank you so much for coming on this evening. first, your response to him winning tonight?— winning tonight? fantastic. i love the darts, winning tonight? fantastic. i love the darts. the — winning tonight? fantastic. i love the darts, the arrows _ winning tonight? fantastic. i love the darts, the arrows as - winning tonight? fantastic. i love the darts, the arrows as it is - the darts, the arrows as it is sometimes called, but this year's

competition, the world championships, has been fantastic largely because of luke littler. the fearlessness he takes to the jockey, the way that he gets those checkouts. perhaps too much information, but he had a 132 checkout today. ball, ball, double 16. and he is completely wowing the audiences at alexandra palace. and he reminds me a bit of wayne rooney is a 16—year—old at everton, tiger woods winning the us masters —— us masters, emma raducanu the us open. i think when you are young, it is a novel experience to play under that kind of pressure and they don't have any layers of responsibility at that age and it has been a completejoy. you said his preparation today after the match, the semifinal which he won with a three dart average of 106, he said tomorrow for the final that he will have a ham and cheese omelette, he will practice, he will have a pizza and practice again. i think you will go on to win the

four more died in and around kyiv, including here at this apartment block in the heart of the city. this is how close the missile got to hitting this block of flats. the crater is about five metres deep, and just look at the devastation caused. you can see the windows completely, not blown through, blasted through. even the block on the other side has been blown through and the buildings across the road from there, such is the force generated from blasts like this. we have not seen attacks like this since the early days and weeks of the invasion. there were fears russia had been stockpiling missiles to use around the new year period, and with no more military aid set to arrive from the us for now, attacks test air defence systems which rely on continued western help.

11:19 pm
rising tensions with beijing are a major election issue in the polls. china sees taiwan as a renegade province which, according to beijing, needs to reunite with the mainland. the islands current president tsai ing—wen is stepping down after eight years in power. live now to w brent christensen, from provo, utah — he is the former director of american institute of taiwan. welcome to bbc news, mr christensen. firstly, the frontrunner, william lai, from the incumbent democratic progressive party, seems to be particularly disliked by beijing, who consider him a separatist for some of his past statements — how do you think they might react if he is elected? thank you, it's a pleasure to be here to talk about this really important topic. how will beijing react? obviously they will be very
11:20 pm
unhappy, but i don't think they can be surprised. beijing obviously does not like him claiming he's a dangerous separatist. but listen, i don't think any democratic progressive party candidate would be any more welcome, and the current dpp president has come under similar attacks for her refusal to accept the 92 consensus and for other sins. beijing just fundamentally has a very big distrust of the dpp and its leaders, so i suspect that cross trade relationship has been rather tense over the past eight years, and that tsai ing—wen presidency, sol think we can anticipate that that would continue with a william lai presidency. china's president xi, in his new year's address, reiterated that quote "reunification" with taiwan was inevitable. how heavily does the china

11:22 pm
well, i'm certainly aware of the statements the president and his advisers have made, but i'm not really in a position to say how the united states would react to an attack on taiwan. but i think it is also very clear — i mean, we have actually a legal commitment to support taiwan's self—defense, as speued support taiwan's self—defense, as spelled out in the taiwan relations act. the united states regards any you ijust unilateral act. the united states regards any you i just unilateral change act. the united states regards any you ijust unilateral change by other than peaceful means is a threat to the peace and stability of the region. the us has a long—standing commitment to taiwan, to support its self—defense, to provide what are called defence articles and services — planes, guns, tanks — to enable taiwan to maintaina guns, tanks — to enable taiwan to

11:25 pm
the platform, this was okehampton station. high winds of over 80 mph move things that shouldn't, leading to numerous close encounters. the floodwaters also did their own damage. according to uk power networks, more than 2000 properties were affected by power cuts this evening. the national grid were on the case earlier in wales. it's mid—afternoon now, it stopped raining but it's still certainly windy. and there have been more flood warnings across the uk, from wales to east anglia, as far north as whole, and down south here in east sussex. serena lives in hellingly, and isn't usually able to go rowing on her back garden. this is your garden. you don't have a water feature? no, this is normally pasture. —— rolling pasture. i know this area historically floods, but i have seen in the last three years that i've been here, it getting worse and worse. storm henk should ease by tonight. but the rain waters and the advice to take care may last a little
11:26 pm
longer. ellie price, bbc news, in east sussex. you have been watching newsday. stay with bbc news. hello there. the weather should be calming down a bit now. it'll take a while for the flood waters to recede, but the winds have dropped. earlier on tuesday, we had a gust of 81mph at exeter airport, then the strong winds moved into the southeast with a gust of 69mph at heathrow airport. well, that's storm henk, and it's now tracking its way into europe. it'll bring some snow in scandinavia — it's very cold here. this low pressure is not a storm, but it will bring some showers. the more persistent rain has cleared away, mind you, but we have seen a lot of flooding just recently. the heaviest rain actually fell over the hills of wales — that's fed into the river systems in the west midlands and, a short while ago, there were over 200 flood warnings on rivers in england. these are the temperatures we're looking at for the start of wednesday — not too cold out there, typically 5—6 celsius. we've still got some more persistent rain in the far northeast of scotland,
11:27 pm
could be a bit wintry up in shetland, some strong winds for a while here. some strong winds, too, blowing through the english channel, in the southwest of england. not as windy as it was on tuesday. and elsewhere, it'll be a mixture of sunshine and showers, maybe some more frequent showers coming back into scotland, pegging the temperatures back a bit here. those numbers a little bit lower than we had on tuesday, but not by a great deal. now, this low pressure will still sit to the west of scotland as we head into thursday. this feature here is causing us a few headaches, the track seems to be changing a little — it's now moving a little furthersouth, more into northern parts of france. there is the threat of some rain coming through the channel islands and into the far southeast of england. otherwise, a fairly quiet day, more in the way of sunshine, fewer showers, still some cloudy, damp, and breezy weather into the far northeast of scotland. temperature—wise, we're looking at around 8—9 celsius typically, wo it is beginning to get a little bit cooler, and that trend will continue as we head towards the weekend. we are going to find, instead of low pressure around, though, pressure will rise —
11:28 pm
now its low pressure that's brought all the wet weather recently and all the flooding, but high pressure is going to build in in time for the weekend. that'll bring in some colder air, may get a northeasterly breeze for a while, but certainly a change in weather type is on the way eventually. some much—needed dry weather to come as we head towards the weekend and into next week. it does mean, however, it will be colder, generally dry with some sunshine, but we're likely to have some frost at night. goodbye.
