in central london for us now. what is the scene there? well, i can tell you the bad news for commuters is that disruption they were expecting tomorrow has already started. it was just over 20 minutes ago that the doors to every single tube station in it's own one were closed and it is quite evident here at euston because there is a lot of traffic building for a sunday evening. people have come off trains from abroad orfrom people have come off trains from abroad or from around people have come off trains from abroad orfrom around the people have come off trains from abroad or from around the world looking to get onto the cheap and it is all closed. we are seeing a lot of that disruption here. the tube station here at euston, also the major stations will be closed tonight. that is problematic because a lot of people travel they will be taking the tube tomorrow morning, normally, but we're expecting a of congestion, and all tube stations in zone one will be closed and the waterloo & city lines and the victoria lines will

not be running at all and there will be severely reduced services on other lines, especially in outer london. the latest deal was rejected, but sadiq khan is very keen to get is solved and he has told his team to be around and to be up told his team to be around and to be up around the clock to help of what will be a disaster tomorrow, and i'm sure all commuters will be hoping he can do that —— to help avert. we understand the foreign secretary borisjohnson is to make a last minute visit to the united states tonight to meet key advisers of the president—elect, donald trump, not necessarily the president himself. it will be his first face—to—face meeting with officials of donald trump. downing street confirmed last week that theresa may will visit mr trump in the springtime. and now we can have a look at the weather.

another murky night with patchy mist and fog. clear conditions in the east. the most mild .com and then changes to take us into the new week. gayle ‘s first thing in the morning. note the temperatures, 6—7 degrees. the rain clears away through much of scotland and northern ireland, replaced by a clearer skies and occasional showers. the wet weather for wales in the rush hour, and then it moves west, with heavy bursts in places. north of that, temperatures drop away, even with sunshine, and a scattering of showers. 5—6 is the best we can hope for in scotland and northern ireland. severe gales for a time in northern scotland, and the week ahead, much more windy, and thenit week ahead, much more windy, and then it becomes colder later on, and

then it becomes colder later on, and the summer there will be a little bit of snow. —— and for some there will be a little bit of snow. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines: the prime minister has promised to control immigration as well as strike a good trade deal with the eu after brexit. theresa may said britain could not expect to hold on to "bits" of its membership. this the former president of iran, akbar rafsanjani, has died in tehran at the age of 82. he was one of the country's leaning moderates. israel's prime minister says the islamic state group is to blame for a deadly truck attack injerusalem. four israeli soldiers were killed when a truck drove into them and then reversed to hit them again. 20 people have died in plunging temperatures across europe, with even the greek islands blanketed in snow. temperatures in russia have plunged to —30. is the queen has made herfirst

public appearance of the year, attending church on her sandringham estate, after a heavy cold forced her to miss events over christmas. and now we have all the sport. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jessica creighton. coming up on the programme: league two plymouth earn themselves an fa cup replay against liverpool, after holding the premier league contenders to a draw at anfield. lighter work for chelsea, they brush aside peterborough. but captainjohn terry is sent off on his return from injury. and wasps return to the top of the premiership after beating leicester, but concerns forjames haskell who lasts just 35 seconds in his comeback game. lots to come this evening,

but we'll start with the fa cup, where liverpool are going to have to make a 600 mile round trip to devonshire, if they are to reach the fourth round of the competition. plymouth argyle, from league two, held the premier league side to a goalless draw at anfield to force the replay. alex gulrajani watched the match. these fans are used to long treks across the country, but not in these numbers. nearly 9,000 plymouth fans made the trip to anfield, in hope more than expectation. the youngest liverpool line—up in history greeted derek adams's side but their inexperience was made up for by their abundance of talent. they came flying forward. lee mccormack did his job in the plymouth goal. time to resort to some underhand tactics. emre can, welcome to english football. but liverpool would not be rattled,

and the chances kept on coming. theyjust couldn't be taken. at the other end a first shot on target for the visiting fans to cheer. time, it seemed, for the big guns. daniel sturridge was called for and those chances started to become a little more clean cut. still no end product. sturridge wasjoined by lallana and firmino, surely they would get over the line. plymouth stood their ground. just. a remarkable result for the league 2 side and it's liverpool fans who now face the long journey to the south—west. with the players they had playing for them today, they have all had first—team experience. yes, they had younger players, but they are at a club like liverpool for a reason, because they believe in their ability. but we had a very good defensive display and it was important we did that. we allowed liverpool the ball, but when we had the ball, we still

created a couple of opportunities. i'm not frustrated. i knew before the game... actually, with the other line—up, it could have been exactly the same. it is not really likely but possible. we had it with this line—up and this is a very important experience for the boys. i'm happy with this. i'm not sure it would have been the same experience with a 1—0 victory. all good, actually. premier league leaders chelsea had no troubles against league one peterborough — running out 4—1 winners at stamford bridge. chelsea had 20 shots on goal in the first half alone — pedro was first to convert one after nathanial chalobah‘s initial effort was saved. belgium striker michy batshuayi doubled the lead two minutes before half time as peterborough left space at the back. into the second half, willian made it 3—0, much to the delight of his manager antonio conte. he'd not have been too pleased to seejohn terry sent off

for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity though. antonio conte has said the club will consider appealing. peterborough made the numerical advantage count as tom nichols swept home from close range. pedro grabbed his second of the afternoon to seal chelsea's spot in round four. when you change that many players it is never that easy to play a good game. everybody wants to be a team. but today we showed that we are a team and i'm pleased for the players, that at this moment, who are playing less, they showed me good form. i'm satisfied for the result and happy for the performance of my team. the biggest difference today was was how clinical they are around your box. they pass it into the corner of the net. we made chances but hit

them over the crossbar. we have got to work on this with our centre forwards. but we were outstanding for 15 minutes, then we sat off them. and in the second half i thought we matched them. tottenham will also be in the draw for the fourth round, after a 2—0 win over aston villa at white hart lane. they had to wait until the 70th minute for the opening goal. wales international ben davies's header giving spurs the lead. and not too long later, it was two. son heung—min tucking home from close range to seal the victory for mauricio pochettino's side. it was nearly 70 minutes, we changed the system a little bit to try and change the game and it was good because we scored and after the second goal... very pleased, always difficult, and i'm pleased for the players who have not played too much. it is important for them to get a lot of minutes to try to build

their confidence. we had to defend well and run their confidence. we had to defend welland runi their confidence. we had to defend well and run 1 million their confidence. we had to defend well and runi million miles because they are very good and we had a big chance in the game. chester and agbonlahor had a chance where you hope to take it. touch disappointed with the goal because they did not have to do much. and for all the defensive work, one cross into the box and we did not deal with it. only time we didn't and it was in the back of the net. the first of today's fa cup third round ties was won by fulham as they beat fellow championship side cardiff city 2—1. not many made the effort for this one. just over 5,000 fans were in attendance at cardiff's stadium. those who did turn up were treated to an early cardiff city goal from anthony pilkington. that was the only real highlight for the home fans as stefanjohansen pulled fulham back on level terms before the london club took the lead through ryan sessegnon. fulham booking their place in the fourth round with a 2—1 win. fulham played a very good game. but

it was a good performance. we dominated the game and created many chances and we could have scored more goals and made finishing the game bit more easy for ourselves. but we have to be satisfied. we play them again in three weeks here and i think we can give them a better game than today. you don't like getting knocked out of competitions, but our priority is staying in the division. we still want to do some wheeling and dealing. they are a strong side and they showed it. we can look forward to the next game against them and be optimistic. middlesbrough will be in the fourth round draw after beating championship sheffield wednesday 3—0 at the riverside. boro captain grant leadbitter‘s free kick put the premier league side i—0 up just before the one hour mark. one minute later, though, daniel ayala saw red for bringing

down fernando forestieri and middlesbrough had to play the final 30 minutes with ten men. despite that, they doubled their lead soon after, alvaro negredo rewarded for charging down wednesday goalkeeper joe wildsmith. late on, marten de roon rounded up the win — 3—0 the final score. isaid at i said at half—time that it looked like a friendly game, and the fa cup isa like a friendly game, and the fa cup is a really important competition here. and if we had played in the second half the same way we would have lost the game, and i told them that we had to play better and we had to be more aggressive and in the second half we showed that we are in the premier league and they are a championship team and sometimes you think it is going to be a easy game but it is a big mistake. not that happy with my players, we tried and we did ourjob. i'm unhappy with the

score. we lost because of the circumstances which can happen in football. in sheffield wednesday, we lose together and we win together. wasps are back on top of rugby union's premiership but they were made to work for their victory by leicester. it's a 19th home win in a row for wasps who won 22—16 despite leicester's second half efforts to get back in to the game as they played for the first time since sacking their director of rugby, richard cockerill, earlier this week. it has been a long time since richard cockerill was not a crucial presence at leicester's first pre—match preparation without him for nearly eight years. the task was not easy — wasps have dominated at home this season and so the first score was hardly a surprise. christian wade with the opening try after just four minutes. in fact they put three past leicester before half—time. the fresh approach needed for the tigers‘ interim coach.

that fresh approach was a direct one, tom brady was the first to speed through the middle, leicester eventually bundling over, back into contention. wasps needed to mix things up and they turned to james haskell for stability. after seven months out, his comeback lasted less than a minute, knocked out in a tackle with freddie burns, he was forced off the field. more injury headaches for the england boss. leicester threatened, butjimmy gopperth made certain for wasps once more, as they go to the top of the league. encouragement for leicester, but no sting in the tailjust yet. three time champion martin adams came from behind to beat fellow englishman ryan joyce 3—2 in the first round of the world professional darts championships. there was no dividing the pair so the fifth set went to sudden death and adams finished with a double nine to take the match. england's scott mitchell is also safely through to the second round. the second seed overcame new zealand qualifier mark mcgrath 3—0. england's lisa ashton beat

sharon prins of the netherlands to reach the second round. the two—time lakeside champion looked comfortable and ended with a double five to seal a 2—0 victory. that's all from sportsday. there'll be more sport on the bbc news channel throughout the evening. next on bbc news, it's click. right, let's get 2017 started in style, shall we? flashing lights.
