3:35 pm
a lot of suffering in every aspect. but you know, you have days like that where you just have to accept it and face the circumstances and try to make the most out of it. meanwhile the women's defending champion aryna sabalenka will play the us open champion coco gauff for a place in the final. the american 19—year—old battled past ukraine's marta kostyuk in three sets. whilst things were more straightforward for sabalenka, the number two seed, who dominated the former french open champion and ninth seed barbora krejcikova. sabalenka, yet to drop a set at the tournament, hit 20 winners, breaking krejcikova's serve six times to win this one 6—2, 6—3 injust 71 minutes, which is the longest match she's played at the tournament so far. they've had a frustrating season so far in the premier league, but chelsea can reach the final of the english league cup

on tuesday, if they beat middlesbrough at stamford bridge. mauricio pochettino is hoping to win his first trophy in english football, but his side go into the game trailing 1—0 to the championship side from the first leg. we need to show it is really important for the club, for us, for everyone. we want to be in the final, but first of all we need to be a very good team, middlesbrough, in the first leg that we cannot beat and they beat us and because we need to be tough. to the africa cup of nations — where egypt's mo salah is returning to liverpool for treatment on his hamstring injury after watching from the stands as egypt secured their place in the last sixteen with a 2—2 draw with cape verde. he's now facing three to four weeks on the sidelines but could be fit for the final if needed. egypt's manager criticised liverpool for speaking about salah's injury before the game, but liverpool's assistant coach pep lijnders says there's no disagreement, and both sides are putting
3:37 pm
the player's welfare first. it's an example of how international football with club football should cooperate to put the player in the centre and not targets of everyone because it's a conflict of interest. but all of us made the decision what is best for him and for him it is best to have a stable environment, knowing the people, having the proper people who have time and focus on his rehab process and we know how it will go here in this facility. and syria are through to the knockout stages of the asian cup for the first time in their history. they beat india 1—0 in doha to finish third in group b, progressing as one of the four best third—placed teams. australia finish as group winners after a 1—1 draw with second—placed uzbekistan who are also through. you can see what it meant to syria. more on the website but have now
3:38 pm
back to you, matthew. thanks very much. news emerging in the uk from norfolk police with reference to the four people who were found dead at a property near norwich on friday. these are the pictures from friday. subject to formal identification taking place, but confirmation of the identities of those four people are provisionally. ali5—year—old my 36—year—old and then two children. those names provisionally given by norfolk police. bodies were found by a member of the public after raising concerns about the welfare of the people inside. postmortem examinations have been done on the two adults, still to be done on the
3:39 pm
two adults, still to be done on the two children, but those provisional name is just two children, but those provisional name isjust emerging two children, but those provisional name is just emerging from norfolk police. we will bring you more on that as it comes into us. let's turn from that to get more developments on yemen. beware listening to frank gardner's analysis a short while ago. after the us and uk launch to those fresh air strikes against o'dea targets, we have more analysis. nick eardley, at bbc verify, as the latest on what we actually know. let's hear more from nick. apologies, we have lost that film from nick. we'll try to return to that here in the few minutes. we're just trying to get that the system. apologies for that. as i say, nick eardley looking at more about what has happened. we know the
3:40 pm
second set of air strikes launched by the uk and us against o'dea targets because of their attacks in the red sea. a report is now here so let's hear more from nick. we've spent the day building up more of a picture of what happened last night and why the uk and us felt a need to launch further air strikes. firstly, have a look at this video from last night, this is a hand—out from last night, this is a hand—out from the us military. it shows a jet taking off to take part in those air strikes. we have been looking at a lot of other video today. i should pound out the verification is important on a day like this. we have seen lots of videos online which say they are from yemen which are not of the latest strikes, some are not of the latest strikes, some are older, some are from other parts of the middle east —— macro point out the verification is important. we haven't seen anything particularly compelling is showing the situation on the ground but if we get it we will show you it late in the day. we are getting more of a
3:41 pm
picture of where the strikes took place. have a look at the map. from information on the ground, both local media and some houthi spokespeople, we think the strikes hit these areas. the prime minister rishi sunak, for example, talked about strikes just north of here in sanaa. there is an airfield here so it makes sense if the uk and us were targeting the houthis' military capability. the uk has said all of the strikes in all of these areas were a response to an ongoing imminent threat from the houthis. but it's worth talking about about the backdrop to all of this and the attacks on ships in the red sea, and other waterways in the region. bbc verify has been spending the last couple of weeks looking at the situation and all the publicly available data. there have been frequent attacks by the houthis. look at this video. that is a missile hitting a ship last week. when the uk and the us launched the
3:42 pm
first air strikes ii when the uk and the us launched the first air strikes 11 days ago, they urge to de—escalation. but that's not what has happened. in fact, you could say the opposite has happened. this graph is based on data from an andy shows incidents around the red sea. you can see they go down, they go back up, they go down again, but after those first air strikes on the 12th of january there is quite a significant increase in and around the red sea. finally, i want to show you this, which is a bit of a changing picture, where the attacks on ships have been. we have mapped them out and you can see that over time a lot of them have been here. this end of the red sea, the southern end, and this choke point, the bab—el—mandeb strait. what's interesting is that since the first uk and us air strikes 11 days ago, there have been more attacks in the southin there have been more attacks in the south in the gulf of aden. finally, have a look at this. it will take a
3:43 pm
second to come up, but this is live data showing ships going through the area. there are still quite a few there as you can see heading in both directions. there is a lot less than they would have been three months ago. many of the ships that previously would have gone through the red sea are now taking a longer and more expensive route. nick eardley. let's turn to the story that made a massive amount of headlines here in the uk last year, because a man who stabbed three people to death in the english city of nottingham has had a plea of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility create mental illness accepted by prosecutors today. valdoo calocane killed two 19—year—old students, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and ian coates, a 65 year old school caretaker. navtej johal reports.
3:44 pm
first came the shock. then the sadness. and then the support. on the 13th ofjune, the city of nottingham was scarred by a killer who left three people dead. they were 19—year—old students barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and school caretaker ian coates, who was 65. and this is the man who took their lives. valdo calocane, a 31—year—old dual guinea—bissau portuguese national with settled status in the uk. his first victims were the university of nottingham students. we're walking the same route that grace and barnaby were walking on their way home after a night out clubbing at around four in the morning. they were just five minutes from their student accommodation when they were stabbed to death. she was the best to me. since everything has happened, i have been completely lost without her. i've notjust lost an older
3:45 pm
sister, but a best friend. someone i would go to about everything. i was so proud. i would always speak about her. it's a joy for me to be able to say she is my older sister, it's a privilege. and now myjob is to do the best i can to make her proud. calocane then walked to a hostel a mile away and tried unsuccessfully to break in before attacking his next victim. ian coates, who was just a few months away from retirement, was killed on his way to work. his van was stolen and then driven by calocane back into the city centre, where he used it to hit three pedestrians, one of whom was critically injured. the deaths caused an outpouring of grief. i've lost my baby boy and i can't even comprehend how i'm going to deal with it. the students' fathers spoke
3:46 pm
at this vigiljust a day after their children had been killed. and all they were doing was walking home. and then the next day we heard from all three families at an event in the city centre attended by thousands. it feels like he's touched a lot of hearts over the years, - more than what we assumed and knew that he had~ _ calocane has pleaded guilty to three counts of manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility, and guilty to three counts of attempted murder. he will be sentenced later this week. navtej johal with that report. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bringing you different stories from across the uk. i bent down, he put his feet on my shoulders and give me a kiss. i thought, this dog needs to come home. he'd been there nine years, so at the time he had maybe the next three or four years in the house.
3:47 pm
old dog. he spent almost his entire life at an animal sanctuary in outside kennels. well, now he's experiencing a warm home for the first time, thanks to his new owners, ken and sandra. it loves it. absolutely loves it. he has two beds. he has one up on the landing. he has one downstairs by side of the radiator. so he's just fit in so well. but despite humbug's close bond with kenny has come as a bit of a surprise. as part of the reason he was so difficult to rehome was because of his fear of strangers. after nine years, he needs a proper home. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. let's talk ask is for the next few minutes because we have had those nominations have come in in the last couple of hours in los angeles. leading the way, is oppenheimer
3:48 pm
with a massive 13 nominations — including cillian murphy for best actor. poor things did well — 11 nominations, including one for emma stone in the best actress category. ten nominations for killers of the flower moon — including a best director nomination for martin scorsese. the tenth of his career. not so good for barbie — eight nominations. but margot robbie missed out on best actress, and no best director nomination for greta gerwig. live now to anna smith who can tell us more about the oscar nominations. welcome to the programme. your headline thoughts? did the academy get this right? the? headline thoughts? did the academy get this right?— headline thoughts? did the academy get this right?_ get this right? they never get it entirely right — get this right? they never get it entirely right because _ get this right? they never get it entirely right because i'm - get this right? they never get it entirely right because i'm just i get this right? they never get it i entirely right because i'm just one person but i was expecting to hear the word oppenheimer mentioned many times which it was, where the
3:49 pm
prestige film, fantastic in the craft categories, technavio pamper film you expect to get nominated for many oscars. i was pleased to see some prestige international films like anatomy of a fall and past lives nominated but they are two of my favourite of the year and many other people who are film critics like myself would agree in film is directed by women. poor things is expected to showing in cinemas at the moment, lots of people really loving emma stone cosmic performance in that and i think she could potentially go all the way. i was also really pleased to see lily gladstone nominated for the killers of the flament and carey mulligan for maestro, dosso annette bening nyad. the actress category is a really competitive one this year. it isjam—packed, you whizzed through is jam—packed, you whizzed through so many of the headlines. let's rewind to barbenheimer, that phenomenon, that was so incredible, in the autumn, despite being
3:50 pm
released at the same time, it didn't seem to dent either film and we have seen it play right the way through through audiences, through critical acclaim and now these nominations for both of them.— for both of them. exactly, it was a success story _ for both of them. exactly, it was a success story for _ for both of them. exactly, it was a success story for both. _ for both of them. exactly, it was a success story for both. i _ for both of them. exactly, it was a success story for both. i think- for both of them. exactly, it was a| success story for both. i think they held together at the box office. some people bravely went in for a double bill. it was something that people look forward to and made cinema event again. as in a great success story in itself it is wise for cinemas. one pulled the two such different films but really, really well made film is that as you say have played well with audiences as well as critics doing well in awards season. understandably, oppenheimer is a more typical kind of oscar film. you can see that it is doing well. but i was really pleased, if well. but i was really pleased, if we are talking about barbie, that both america ferrera and ryan gosling were nominated for supporting actress and actor. that wasn't necessarily expected particularly in america ferrera's ace and i was pleased having interviewed her as well to see her rewarded for that role of gloria where she made such an impassioned

3:59 pm
light, patchy rain and drizzle here but the rain will be heavy across northern ireland into north—west england and south—west scotland, again falling in pretty saturated ground. the area is mild, 12—13 c but the wind will pick up but not as windy as it is today. on friday it is a chilly start but much more settled day of weather for most. live from london, this is bbc news. funerals are held for 2h soldiers killed in israel's deadliest day since the war in gaza began. there's been intense fighting around khan younis, israel says it's surrounded the southern gaza city.
