it. i hope he is doing luck. that is it. i hope he is doing well. playing with man united is very different than for any other club. it is so much more difficult to play for man united and perform for man united as you can do for another club. so you need very strong character to perform and to deal with the high expectations. so manchester united have moved sancho one from now. dortmund are certainly happy to have him back after almost three years. he was brilliant for them in his first spell, scored 50 goals, provided 64 assists and 137 games. translation: he is healthy, training a lot in the last few weeks both at manchester united and then again individually and doing extra shifts to prepare himself. now we just hope he stays healthy and brings the joy we felt yesterday in the stadium very quickly. he wants to be back on the pitch with a lot of happiness and we will tackle that

together. with all the issues that are important to function in the group. we recognise the talent and potential that jadon sancho brings with him and now it is simply a matter of stating that in the right direction. the 18th edition of the afc asian cup gets under way injuts over an hour in the middle east, as defending champions and hosts qatar take on lebanon. two—time winners south korea are hoping to end a 64—year title drought. a lot of their hopes will rest on captain and tottenham star son heung—min. the first match on mondays against bahrain. head coach, jurgen klinsmann says he expects to see the best of the 31—year—old. having a leader like him is huge. it's huge for us. because he has so much experience and feeling for these kinds of vocations and that is these kinds of vocations and that is the most important thing to having healthy. he was not 100% healthy a year ago at the world cup, now he is
2:47 pm
healthy, so we are excited, excited to have a healthy captain. we are “ust a to have a healthy captain. we are just a coume _ to have a healthy captain. we are just a coume of— to have a healthy captain. we are just a couple of days _ to have a healthy captain. we are just a couple of days away - to have a healthy captain. we are just a couple of days away from l to have a healthy captain. we are l just a couple of days away from the start of the australian open and jack draper is in really good form against a first grand scan of the year —— grand slam of the year. he has reached the first atp tour final of the year, and he is completing at the adelaide international. he knocked at the top seed and then beat the 16th in straight sets in the semis. draper, who was knocked out at this stage in adelaide last year will now face the a czech player. the women's draw in melbourne will see coco gauff try to win back—to—back grand slams after her... she successfully defended her auckland classic title last weekend, but has got her eyes on the biggest prizes now.

i would say recently i feel like i wanted to get double digits, so that is cool. but there's no number. that could change depending on how my career goes, but right now i say double digits would be pretty awesome. i don't know if it will happen, but i think that is a high goal and i think setting my goals high pushes me beyond what i think i can do. finally a bit of golf news, rory mcilroy still has a two shot lead at the dubai international. despite finding the water twice on the pass rate for the quadruple bogey. he started the rate for the quadruple bogey. he started the day rate for the quadruple bogey. he started the day on rate for the quadruple bogey. he started the day on nine rate for the quadruple bogey. he started the day on nine under rate for the quadruple bogey. he started the day on nine under after a brilliant opening round of 62, but was one underfor a brilliant opening round of 62, but was one under for his second round. that is still good enough to be two shots clear at the top of the leaderboard ahead of the danejeff winther and germany's yani paul. more sport and the bbc website. let's head back to marion and
2:49 pm
london. this -- this —— czechmaryam. we heard from the british prime minister in that let's have a listen to a little more of what he has been saying about the strikes on the houthis. of last night strikes was to disrupt and degrade the houthis capability to carry out the attacks we have been seeing happening on the red sea. targets were selected to degrade capabilities and that will help protect uk and international shipping in the uk. their narrowly focused on that aim, so very deliberate, careful, strikes. our clear desire the is to see escalation of tensions and a restoration of stability the region.
2:50 pm
but where we have seen over the past few weeks a significant increase in attacks on commercial shipping, putting innocent people's lives at risk and damaging the global economy, significantly disrupting it, it would be right not to take action, particularly when british vessels have been targeted specifically. it is right for us to act in self—defence of that. as i said, the onus is on the houthis to heed the calls of the international community, repeated statements have been made, by countries, including the un security council to condemn what they are doing, and hopefully this sends a strong signal to them that we will not tolerate this kind of behaviour. with so much of our time now spent online, it can feel like we are filling in endless passwords, inevitably forgetting them and having to think up new ones as a result — but could that soon be a thing of the past? major tech and internet firms have started turning to "passkeys" — a no—password solution which uses
2:51 pm
biometrics or device pins to protect our accounts online. our cyber correspondent, joe tidy, can tell us more. pass key. passkey. passkeys. you may not yet have heard of them, but passkeys are the future of how we stay safe online. dozens of internet businesses, large and small, are hoping this new bit of tech will finally kill off the password. so what are passkeys and why are they a step up from what we've been doing all these years? well, if you think about an online service as a door, you get in by putting in your password or a passcode. but this is obviously insecure as all a fraudster needs is the code or password and they're in. a passkey acts a little bit like a key card. it checks who i am as well as if i have the right code. but with passkeys, it's all done on a device and with clever encryption. setting up a passkey takes a few minutes. the online service asks you to verify your identity
2:52 pm
using your device. it's not hard, but it is more of a hassle than setting up a username and password like we've always done. so why is this huge shift taking place and is it worth it? well, it's because passwords are, and always have been, a terrible way to keep us safe. cori macey is a hacker for the good guys. she's been breaking into computer networks for companies for years to help them improve defences. people are really bad when they create passwords. nine out of ten times when i go into an environment and i try the password "summer2023" or "winter2023" — you're going to get a few accounts. we find that people frequently use seated passwords — that's the first password that they made and, then, across every platform, they'lljust change it a very minuscule amount. passwords can, of course, be made more secure. my password manager needs an authentication code. it's no surprise that the cybersecurity world has largely failed to get the general public to jump through the hoops needed to make passwords safe. so, now, whether we like it or not,
2:53 pm
the future of logging in online is through our phones with thumbprints, pin codes and, increasingly, facial id. no system will ever fully be hacker—proof, but passkeys do mean that the future's brighter for our lives online. joe tidy, bbc news. the former bc radio 1 dj annie nightingale has died at the age of 83. she was an iconic name on bbc radio 1 where she became the station's first ever female presenter in 1970. david sillito looks back at her life. annie nightingale. annie nightingale on bbc radio 1. there was kind of a lot of expectation about it, i guess. you know, i was the first female on their first show. i hadn't ever done a live show before! you know, it was a very steep learning curve. when radio 1 launched, there were no women presenters. it's two o'clock in the morning in a club in bristol. the group's finished
2:54 pm
for the night, they've packed up and they're ready to go home. a young musicjournalist called annie nightingale was furious. i think they thought, "we'll have to have one — who do we know?" annie nightingale. and so i became the token women. and she stayed for more than a0 years. and what made her really stand out was that, even in her 70s, her taste in music hadn't aged. it's fatboy slim, live! for some reason, for me, i've gone on on that interest in the new music, the undiscovered, the underground, and seeing it — nurturing it, really. she was 17 when she decided to become a journalist. she got a job in brighton, she got to interview the beatles, and she became one of the first musicjournalists on fleet street. you don't mind mind the lack of money at the moment? in the largely all—male world of rock, she was something of a pioneer. joey, johnny, dee dee and mark, the ramones...
2:55 pm
and in the late �*70s, helped drag the old grey whistle test into a new era. ladies and gentlemen, the damned! annie nightingale. more than 30 years later, she was still at the turntables — annie nightingale, who has passed away. stay with us on bbc news. my colleague matthew is here in a few minutes' time. good afternoon. it's pretty chilly out there and it has been for much of the week, but colder air is on the way by the end of the weekend. behind this weather front, we've got a blast of arctic air to contend with and stronger winds. for the meantime, the winds are, for the most part, relatively light, but they've just dragged a lot of cloud under this area of high pressure, some drizzle near the east coast and a weather front is starting to make its way
2:56 pm
into the northern and western isles and that will bring about that change. the best of the sunshine the rest of the day is likely still to be across parts of scotland, northern ireland, western fringes of england and wales, but we're seeing a few breaks near the east coast. temperatures aren't quite as low as they have been because it wasn't quite as cold last night. again, the frost will be with us in some parts, but our weather front slinking southwards through scotland and northern ireland will bring a smattering of rain behind it. temperatures won't be as low as they were this nightjust gone. furthersouth, patchy frost and patchy fog, but still quite a bit of cloud for england and wales to start our saturday. clearing away, though, from northern ireland and any patchy rain here and for scotland. just a scattering of showers following. in the south, as we're seeing today, there will be quite a bit of cloud with some sunshine coming and going. as we move into the latter part of the weekend, sunday into next week, it will turn a lot colder. that blast of arctic air will bring, we think, the coldest snap of the winter so far because there will be
2:57 pm
the wind chill to add to it and the increasing risk of snow. as you can see on sunday, still a lot of cloud in southern and western areas, but further north we're starting to get colder with those snow showers. there are already warnings out for snow in the north for sunday. into monday, as well, when the risk extends further south. these are the most likely areas to see snow. we're not saying those will be the only areas, but where it's likely to cause disruption. still a question mark about this low pressure system running east across perhaps northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england as we go towards the middle of the week — tuesday, wednesday. we have and we'll have to keep putting the detail on this. we could see a system running close to the south later in the week, wednesday into thursday, so that will increase the risk of some disruptive snow across the southern half of the uk, but still that risk with us further north. so the devil's in the detail in terms of where we're going to see the snow next week, but it does look set to be colder, as well, with some severe night frosts.

2:59 pm
live from london. this is bbc news yemen's houthi movement vows retaliation as us and uk forces launch air strikes against houthi targets. britain says the strikes were a "limited, necessary and proportionate response" to repeated houthi attacks on global shipping in the red sea.
3:00 pm
we need to send a strong signal that this breach of international law is wrong. people cannot act like this with impunity. that's why together with allies we have decided to take this action. on bbc verify, we have been examining videos of us and uk strike on yemen and what's triggered this latest crisis. the other main story today — the international court ofjustice hears israel's defence against accusations of genocide brought by south africa. the entirety of its case hinges on a deliberately curated decontextualised and manipulative description of the realities of the current hostilities. we will be speaking to the phd students who made the find which
