if. “if.“ dying seconds, pw ug} “we mw, il “w dying seconds, they have in the dying seconds, they have knocked out the 1978 winners! what a night! so, a couple of shocks in the third round, could we see another one this evening? two experienced managers going head—to—head. claudio ranieri against steve mcclaren. let's have a listen to how they are viewing tonight's meeting. winning after winning is the toughest thing. that is what leicester are finding is proving to be difficult this season. still, in cup competitions, as we have seen in the champions league, they are formidable opponents on their day. we have to make sure on friday it is not their day all night. i will put out the best team, the best team, because we need to go through the cup. we need to get confidence, because we have lost so many matches in the last days.

so, derby against leicester. that is one of 16 ties coming up. one of them to catch the eye is the lecture derby between blackburn rovers and blackpool. recent teams have been ha rd blackpool. recent teams have been hard for both. fans from both teams are going tojoin hard for both. fans from both teams are going to join together in protest against their respective owners. orson out! blackpool and blackburn fans are no strangers to protests about the owners. the stadium, let's hope it is nearly empty tomorrow. tomorrow they willjoin forces,

is nearly empty tomorrow. tomorrow they will join forces, marching is nearly empty tomorrow. tomorrow they willjoin forces, marching from this pub to ewood park and boycotting the game, campaigning outside. it is very difficult, when you are a lifelong fan, to boycott your own club, it really hurts. u nfortu nately, we your own club, it really hurts. unfortunately, we feel we have been pushed into this position because nobody is listening. these are difficult decisions for supporters split between pride in their team in protest at what is going on. how many will be watching inside the ground, and how many will be standing out here? the slogan is more outside than in. we cannot guarantee that, but there will be enough people outside to deliver a significant message. a royal congratulation for stanley matthews... they are both former winners of this competition. their current managers are trying to concentrate on the cover. people have a right to protest. for me, i have a right to protest. for me, i have to make sure the grip on the

field are ready to play the game. we have to make sure we can take control of the football side. we can only concentrate on the football. we cannot do anything about it other than going to play on the pitch and get a performance that hopefully the supporters inside the ground will appreciate. but how many will be inside camp 3pm tomorrow? how many will choose to be kept in the dark? championship side brentford only have to travel five miles for their trip to premier league leaders chelsea. a victory would be massive for bre ntford a victory would be massive for brentford fans. emma jones reports. bre ntford brentford were in league1 brentford were in league 1 when they almost caused a cup shock against chelsea four years ago. forester scores! they lead again! what a story unfolding in west london.

fernando torres! it took £50 million worth of striker to deny them the victory. chelsea won the replay 4—0. work together! plenty has changed since then, including promotion to the championship. but the challenge of facing chelsea remains the same. the toughest draw we could have got. the toughest draw we could have got. the leaders of the premier league, away from home, as tough as you can get. but it is one we are looking forward to. hopefully we will compete and give a good, the account of ourselves. there is a lot of belief in our squads. the players believe they will not be overwhelmed with playing at stamford bridge. we have played a big stadiums, in front of big crowds. the occasion is not going to affect us. we just have to turn up and stick to the game plan. it is not exactly a level playing field. bradford's squad cost under £18 million, chelsea's over 415 million. brentford's owner has put

about £90 million into the club, roman abramovich has invested at least £1 billion at chelsea. with both clubs hoping to build new homes, brentford's will cost £55 million, chelsea's over nine times that amount. brentford hope that moving grounds will go some way to bridging the gap. griffin park holds 12,000, stamford bridge tolls 40,000. the new stadium, if we are getting to the premier league, will help to make us truly competitive. as brentford prepare for another trip to stamford bridge in the fa cup, the realaim is to trip to stamford bridge in the fa cup, the real aim is to be playing there in the premier league every season. so, it's going to be a busy round of fixtures across the next few days. plenty to look forward to. saturday night bbc one, there will be full

highlights. on sunday, millwall against watford, and later in the afternoon manchester united are the 2013 winners wigan. there is lots to look forward to. let's listen to how some of the managers feel about the coming round. wolves are a pretty direct team, long ball play that means they target players up front. i should be clear, we play at anfield, so i don't hope we are too dominant, i think we will be dominant, i think we will be dominantand dominant, i think we will be dominant and then we have defined the spaces between their players. we have to perform really well, we have to punch above our weight, we need a little bit of luck. on any given day, you can win. we will go there and try and get through. it is the most important thing to us, our priority is the premier league. we will go and enjoy ourselves and try to do our best for ourselves and the fans tomorrow. the position, the

situation for crystal palace, because it is away, we want to go through in this competition. because it is away, we want to go through in this competitionm because it is away, we want to go through in this competition. it is an opportunity for us and for me to see many players that are not playing. we want to win, we want to go to the next step. we put a team with first—team experience, with maybe one two younger players, but not more. the squad that we play, we have not yet decided completely who will play and not play. but it is a first—team squad that will be involved. we know we are better than them and can win the game, but if we go in thinking we are facing a team thatis go in thinking we are facing a team that is down the table, we are

making a big mistake. before we go, you just heard from arsene wenger, the arsenal manager. he has got a four match touchline ban after his misconduct hearing earlier today. it is all about the fa cup. he is going to miss southampton at the weekend. we will wait and see. 7:45pm kick—off, we will see if derby cou nty kick—off, we will see if derby county can spring a surprise and beat the premier league champions leicester city. the main news this evening has been dominated by the uk prime minister theresa may's visit to america to see donald trump. chris mason is here with more. donald trump says

great days lie ahead for our two people, there is a deep bond, we expected this. but then theresa may said he is 100% behind nato?m expected this. but then theresa may said he is 100% behind nato? it was political match of the day. such different characters. it is impossible to exaggerate the extent to which they are different. both are very new in their role. this is are very new in their role. this is a first are very new in their role. this is afirst in are very new in their role. this is a first in terms of president trump meeting a foreign leader. you can see the nervousness on both sides. the extraordinary thing is that moments like this require political correspondents like me to be partial body language experts, partial pop psychologist, as well as reading the political things. there was interest in body language? yes, in terms of the political news, it was really striking that the prime minister explicitly said that the president was 100% behind nato, effectively articulating publicly what we have to understand was discussed privately. that was despite the language we have heard from president trump in the past, the

word obsolete. he is particularly concerned about the funding mechanism, he thinks the us shoulders too much of the financial burden for the transatlantic defence alliance. we learned president trump will have a bed for the night in buckingham palace later this year, with a state visit. no doubt it will bea with a state visit. no doubt it will be a coach and horses affair, he will be in a regal coach, sitting next to the queen. the indications are that he will be a huge fan of that, he has said he is a massive fan of the queen? he talked about his family heritage, his mum was born in stornoway. he has talked about how much of a royalist she was. the expectation has been that a huge card for the british stage to play would be to invite him on a state visit where he could meet the queen, something i guess his mother, which is no longer around, would have been intensely proud of. so, thatis have been intensely proud of. so, that is going to happen later this year, possibly over the summer, although there has been no date

confirmed yet. that will be an extraordinary occasion. indeed. now it is time for a look at the weather. we are starting to see a gradual change to milder conditions coming in of the atlantic, but we still had some freezing fog, some ice in sheffield this afternoon. we did see some sunshine in places. it has come and gone through the day. on balance, we have had a lot more cloud around. it is the cloud we have to thank and the direction which the wind is blowing, that will mean it becomes much milder. in recent weeks we have been in cold airfrom continental recent weeks we have been in cold air from continental europe, recent weeks we have been in cold airfrom continental europe, now we are getting milder air coming in off the atlantic, bringing about that change. still quite a bit of cloud around through the day. we have holes up to the north and east. not wall—to—wall cloud for many. through the evening and overnight, the cloud is producing rain. it will fall to frozen surfaces and scotland.

because it will not be frosty, or as frosty as it has been, but temperature is close to freezing, so it could be icy on untreated roads and pavements. it is a gradual improvement through the day with the best of the sunshine coming true across southern and western areas into the afternoon, temperatures up to eight or nine. still a few showers around and a blustery breeze. it will still feel cold, even though it is milder air across eastern areas, just because it is covered with cloud and grisly bits of rain, some snow over the hills as well. heavier showers towards the north west of scotland. equally, a good few spells of sunshine. though showers keep going in the north, fading away temporarily. then we have a question mark over sunday. it looks like from the m4 southwards it will be wet, it looks like for much of scotla nd will be wet, it looks like for much of scotland it will be dry, bar one two wintry showers. it is those areas in the middle, the likes of

northern ireland, northern england, wales and the midlands, east anglia, there are concerns over which zone it will be in, will it be rain or dry? on balance it looks like they will see rain with a fairly brisk wind, pushing it in. it is still the far north, mostly dry. for many it will be cloudier, wetter and milder thanit will be cloudier, wetter and milder than it has been for some time. westerly wind of the atlantic, continuing into the beginning of next week. not so cold, but cloudier, certainly. this is bbc news. i'm laura trevelyan, live in washington. the headlines this hour. welcome to the white house. theresa may becomes the first overseas leader to hold face—to—face talks with president trump. trade was top of the agenda, as well as strengthening the special relationship between the uk and the us. a free and independent bulletin is a

blessing to the world. the relationship has never been stronger. good trade between the two countries as of the national interest on both.
