16 match later. the score is currently the banach frames for one. —— the banach frames for one. in football, fulham travel to liverpool later for the first—leg of their league cup semi final. it's the first time the visitors have got to this stage of the competition, manager, marco silva says getting to the final would be a huge achievement. if liverpool go on to win the trophy, it would be for a record tenth time. assistant manager pep linders says they're keen to get to wembley. when we are young you want to play in the most iconic stadiums in the world and wembley is one of them. there is so much history and so many memories we already made there. so you want to go there. i think the team has this hunger. it's the closest final we can reach. but we have to respect fulham. we need to be spot on in

all departments, that's for sure. another step is to face liverpool and be _ another step is to face liverpool and be in — another step is to face liverpool and be in at the final and if you achieve — and be in at the final and if you achieve something like that, we are going _ achieve something like that, we are going to _ achieve something like that, we are going to talk about it chance that can make — going to talk about it chance that can make us the story of this football_ can make us the story of this football club. first you have to face _ football club. first you have to face a — football club. first you have to face a strong side, top quality side, — face a strong side, top quality side, and _ face a strong side, top quality side, and to be at our best level doing _ side, and to be at our best level doing too— side, and to be at our best level doing too the manic matches, not 'ust doing too the manic matches, not just one — doing too the manic matches, not just one -- — doing too the manic matches, not just one. —— two matches. there's a madrid derby later as real and atletico face each other in the semifinal of the spanish super cup. the match is being held in saudi arabia with either barcelona or osasuna awaiting the winner in sunday's final. it's the first of three clashes, in three competitions, in three weeks for the two teams. altletico manager diego simeone says he always enjoys playing real, but carlos anchelotti says the derbies are a challenge and while the fans look forward to them, he doesn't!

translation: i personally do not enjoy playing against atletico - madrid, because they are one of the best teams, and playing against them is always difficult, but we have to do it. i'm sure they feel the same about us. we are two very strong teams, and it's hard to face each other. it is what it is, and i'm sure the fans will enjoy it. translation: this is obviously i different from the league, which is a long competition. this is much shorter. we are playing real madrid, who knows what will happen. but we will do what we always do and play game by game. they are a great rival, that makes us enthusiastic, excited even, and as always, the expectations are high. it may take due to america know where the toronto ra ptors raptors court was very upset after their 132 points to 131 points loss to the la lakers. he said he believed the officials never give his side a chance. they

raptors stuck with the lakers for most of the game. but anthony davis hit two free throws late on for the victory. a three pointer for toronto on the buzzer wasn't enough to tie the match and rajakovic made his feelings very clear at full time. shame for the referees, shame for the league to allow this. 23 free throws for them, and we get two free throws in the fourth quarter? how to play the game? how possible scotty barnes, an all—star calibre player in this league, he goes every single time to the rim with force, and try get to the rim without flapping and he gets two free throws for the whole game? how's that possible? not happy there. you can keep up—to—date with all the sport on the

our kids. now to the us, where a lot has been happening politically. doctors say the secretary of defense lloyd austin is being treated for prostate cancer, and his prognosis is excellent. but the white house says it didn't know about his diagnosis until tuesday. it also says it did not know he was under general anesthesia during surgery in december. and in other news, judges at an appeal court have sharply questioned donald trump's argument that former presidents should be entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution. mr trump's lawyers say his time in office protects him from charges connected to his alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election. been speaking to a us special correspondent cathy kay from washington, dc. there has been terrible weather across the us, lots of storms, snow as well. people have lost power. it did not look so bad in washington, the weather not so much drama, but the political climate dark. h0 much drama, but the political climate dark.—

capitol hill, no one on capitol hill very happy about this, but are republicans on capitol hill say this is a viable offence and he should have been much more transparent. can we stick with all of our weather plans through our chat? because what is now being made of the frosty reception donald trump mac appeared to have in corchia city?— to have in corchia city? goode, lu , to have in corchia city? goode, lucy. like _ to have in corchia city? goode, lucy. like at! — to have in corchia city? goode, lucy. like at! l— to have in corchia city? goode, lucy, like at! i spoke _ to have in corchia city? goode, lucy, like at! i spoke to - to have in corchia city? goode, lucy, like at! i spoke to three i lucy, like at! i spoke to three separate lawyers who felt the 3—judge panel who were listening to donald trump's arguments about effectively where he could never be prosecuted because he was president before and that gave him a blanket immunity from all forms of prosecution, that three judge immunity from all forms of prosecution, that threejudge panel from around the corner from me prosecution, that threejudge panel from around the cornerfrom me in washington, dc were not impressed and it was clear from the audio transcripts we got from the courtroom saying this was ridiculous, saying that president donald trump, or a president ordered

an app assassination by special forces, could they never be prosecuted because of immunity? and the laws could not answer it successfully. none seem to think this is going to go anywhere, they do not even think it is going to go to the supreme court. they do think it could delay this january six case, and that might be donald trump's tactic, if you cannot win these cases outright in the long run, at least delay them until after november election and give him a better shot of being re—elected as president. being re-elected as president. let's take ou being re-elected as president. let's take you to — being re-elected as president. let's take you to the _ being re-elected as president. let's take you to the north _ being re-elected as president. let's take you to the north of _ being re—elected as president. let's take you to the north of canada, where the inuit people live. for weeks on end, they never —— they don't see the sun, but it has come

but here again, we have more of that easterly breeze taking the edge off the temperatures. further north,a bit more cloud around. big area of high pressure dominating the scene. around it we're getting some clouds in off the north sea. that's affecting northeastern parts of the country, so this is where we're seeing the cloudier skies through the rest of today, north and east scotland and eastern england, maybe thick enough for the odd spot of light rain or drizzle, a little bit of wintriness over the high ground. best of the sunshine, southern, south—east england. some glimmers of brightness for western wales, northern ireland and also western scotland. temperature—wise, maybe a degree up on yesterday, highs of six or seven degrees. factor in the wind, though, it'll feel much colder than that. as we head through tonight, it stays cloudy across some northern and eastern areas. where skies are clear, though — central scotland, southern, south—east england — this is where we will see some of the lowest temperatures, perhaps down to minus four, minus five celsius in central scotland. similar values towards the south—east, but less cold where we have the cloud. but mist and fog could also be a problem where the skies are clear. so for thursday, similar story again. most of the cloud will be towards eastern areas with the odd spot of drizzle. southern and western parts seeing the best of the sunshine.

scotland doing pretty well with the sunshine, i think, through thursday afternoon. the temperatures a little less cold again, up to eight degrees, so a degree or so above what we've had earlier in the week. it's still cold but less cold. friday, then, probably the best of the sunshine across scotland, some sunshine developing for northern ireland. elsewhere, it stays cloudy and rather gloomy, ithink, for large parts of england and wales, maybe some brightness western wales, south—west england, and again temperatures up to around eight degrees. it's all change, though, as we head into the weekend. although there'll still be some sunshine in the south, we'll see these cold fronts spreading southwards. behind it, arctic airfloods southwards, so it will be turning colder with increasing snow showers certainly affecting northern scotland, the northern isles where accumulations will be increasing. further south,a better chance of staying drier with some sunshine, but it will be cold for all. into next week, it stays cold, further sunshine and snow showers, and then there's a risk of some more widespread, perhaps disruptive snow around the middle part of next week, so stay tuned.
