more sunshine and maybe a the west, more sunshine and maybe a few showers across some south—western and north—western areas. wednesday, the weatherfront fizzles away and clouds left over. a pretty cold day, especially across eastern areas. that rain in the atla ntic eastern areas. that rain in the atlantic never really makes it in, we don't think. by the end of the week in fact, it looks like a cold easterly wind so it will feel pretty nippy. hello. this is bbc news with me, annita mcveigh. the headlines at 6.31. a setback for donald trump, asjudges refuse to immediately reverse a suspension to his controversial travel ban on people from seven, mostly muslim, countries. research by bbc news shows the number of patients in england waiting for more than the official target of eighteen weeks for surgery has risen by 163% in four years. france's far—right national front leader, marine le pen, has launched her campaign to become the country's new president. a scathing report is published

into the way britain's train system is organised. mps say it lets down passengers and isn't "fit for purpose". now on bbc news, sportsday. good evening. the headlines, we also have a scare in rome, injury troubles as well but they are still top of the six nations table. a good day for majesty in the premier league, both clu bs majesty in the premier league, both clubs willing to commitjesus saving city against swansea. and a davis cup quarterfinal is at stake, great britain are up against canada. after yesterday's tight matches at

twickenham and many feared it was one—sided in rome, that's how it looked on paper as wales beat italy 53-7. looked on paper as wales beat italy 53—7. they are top of the six nations standings on points difference but they missed out on a bonus point although they will be more than satisfied because they trailed at half—time. they hope that injuries to george north and down big and too serious. they play england next week in cardiff. patrick gearey reports. the italian national anthem asks dov‘e la vittoria? where is victory? something that the rugby team often has to ponder, italy's place in the six nations has sometimes been questioned which might have influenced their team talk, their first try was a robust response. you can be too robust of course and giving away penalties meant giving away the lead

because leigh halfpenny was wales's fullback. what was begun with his reassuring boot was continued with quick hands and an italian was in the sin bin as jonathan davies got the first try for wales. mirror image on the other wing seven minutes later, liam williams this time getting the try. a new tournament rule means teams get a bonus point for scoring four tries so george north set off after the third. he's had hamstring troubles in the past and this was a fitness test, he had enough fuel. italy by now running on empty and that extra point was within wales's grasp, they came this close to it. they have six days for the bruises to heal. it's england next. patrick geary, bbc news. it was disappointing to lose dan biggar with his rib injury, we are not sure how significant that is but sam davies came on and showed some lovely deft touches, putting players in space,

it's nice to come away from your first game having won. a shame about the bonus point at the end but i'm delighted with the application in the second half which will give us more confidence and belief to go into that england game. we won't get away from the fact that we have this type of slow starters, that was probably proved right in the first half, we spent a lot of time in italy's 22 but didn't get a reward. we will look at that, but it is not a case of a team trying to play down a decent performance, and a team realising it's the first game in a long line of fixtures to come. there were victories for both manchester clubs in the premier league this afternoon. united were comfortable winners over the champions leicester, who slipped to yet another defeat. rivals city needed a late goal to beat swansea. the winner came in injury time.

manchester city beat swansea 2—1. both teams from teenage striker gabrieljesus making his full home debut, he got the win in injury time. the freshest face in manchester, gabrieljesus already making a name for himself among city fans. they had to wait five months for their young brazilian to appear and now it seems there's no way of getting of him! as swansea found out to their detriment. a second goal in city colours, but more importantly a first in front of home fans. yaya toure has scored many in front of them, but not this one. a long afternoon for paul clement as he stood and watched city's 19—year—old brazilian come close to a second. but after the break a different story, gylfi sigurdsson pushing caballero to full stretch, encouraging and swansea did not stop there, keeping the pressure up, until finally a breakthrough. only one man to do it, a third in as many games for gylfi. but as pep guardiola started to panic guess who saved the day.

in manchester a new city star is born. translation i was not 100%, quickly adapted to their country, it was my first time outside brazil, i thought it was going to be more difficult, not only the football but also the weather, the culture, the culture, the city itself, but thanks to my family and team mates and to the club for the welcoming, it has been really easy for me. that's how i got adapted really quickly. we didn't play well in the first half. we were under the cosh a massive amounts of that first half. you stayed in it. that's what we said, however bad things are, stay in the game, and when it is half—time, if it is 1-0 you can regroup and go through some tactical, mentalthings. the players responded brilliantly and they were deflated to concede later. but we have a lot of things we can take from that game that will help us in the future. manchester city are up to third in the premier league, one point behind spurs, ten points

behind league leaders chelsea, after a late goal earned them a 2—1 win over swansea. leicester are one point above the relegation zone. two teams who know what a dislike to be premier league champions but full on their glory days seems so long ago. it's turning into a struggle at either end of the table, manchester united struggled with direction and intensity for most of the first half, intensity directed in the right way at least. united were lucky that mata stayed on the field and lucky when the leicester defence dissolved to allow henrikh mkhitaryan to burst through and fire them into the front. although the game is played over 90 united did the damage in 90 seconds when they picked up the ball a game and gave it to ibrahim fitch. the game was done and dusted just three minutes later, mata finding more space behind the champions's defence

with the same result. leicester haven't even scored in the league this year, four defeats in a row for the defending champions, and they are staring at a relegation scrap, 15 without loss for united although the title may be a bit too far off. second chance, a goal, said jones, a goal, fourth chance of the goal, and that makes totally the difference. i'm happy with my guys, they play well week after week. since october well week after week. since october we are doing very well, if we could transform the unlucky draws we would be in an amazing position. after we conceded the third goal it was very, very difficult because they are champions, they are very good, they can change the tempo, it was very

difficult for us. chelsea are still sitting very pretty, as you can see, city into the top four. manchester united still keeping in touch although some way off those champions league places. it's getting interesting at the bottom. a real dogfight. defeats for swansea and leicester today, a point above the relegation zone, they face each other next weekend. at the bottom, six teams separated byjust two points. into the championship huddersfield have lea pfrogged points. into the championship huddersfield have leapfrogged west yorkshire rivals leeds united into force after beating them 2—1. the game was spoiled by a late incident that saw both managers sent off. the winning goal had

been scored in the 89th minute and that sparked jubilant huddersfield celebrations with manager david wagner tearing down the touchline to join in. on his return to the dugout he clashed with leeds boss garry monk. both were sent to the stands as huddersfield held on for the win. iam sure i am sure that the fa will have something to say about this one. brighton missed out on the chance to return to the top of the championship. they drew 3—3 at brentford. the bees scored after 94 minutes to lead 3—2 but brighton equalised in the 97th minute. they are now one point behind newcastle. celtic are now 27 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership. they came from behind to beat stjohnstone 5—2 at mcdiarmid park. the hosts were leading 2—1 at half—time after goals from watson, moussa dembele came on with half an hour to play, turned the match with a second—half hat—trick, helping his side to a 19th consecutive win in the league. egypt and cameroon play in the final of the africa cup of nations this evening, egypt

are seeking a record eighth title, cameroon have already won it four times. this report from libreville in gabon. 16 teams came to gabon for the biggest sporting event in africa, just egypt and cameroon remain, the two most successful sides in nations cup history yet both are some odd surprise finalists. egypt had been absent since clinching a hat—trick of titles in 2010 as political revolution impacted upon the national team. translation: since we missed the last three tournaments we wanted to make a good impression and reach the final but we were not sure of it. we are one big family in the squad, ready to serve our country and win. at 44, el hadary, the oldest player in the tournament seeks a record

fifth title. defeated by injuries and visibly tired in the semifinal egypt will be looking to salah for inspiration against a team has overcome various challenges. there has been a row over bonuses in gabon while ahead of the tournament at least seven of the players refused to honour call ups for various reasons, meaning that little was expected of the indomitable lions this time. translation: no one thought we could reach the final except some of us who know the qualities of our team. but i have to acknowledge that from the quarterfinals, the boys have really surprised us. as cameroon borders gabon the team has had plenty of

support. the egyptians have been scarce but a few thousands are set to fly in. don't expect too many goals, there have been only three in the last six africa cup of nations finals. it's the reverse singles in the davis cup tie between great britain and canada in ottawa, after a win in the doubles yesterday for jamie murray and dominic inglot great britain are leading 2—1. dan da n eva ns dan evans won his first singles rubber on friday and is now playing against vasek pospisil. he started strongly, breaking serve to lead 3—1 but not only did pospisil break back, he took the first set on a tie—break, 7—3. he got a solitary break in the second, took it 6—4, so canada are leading two sets to love and it's not looking good for dan eva ns. and it's not looking good for dan evans. kyle edmund might have to save the tie in the last match of the weekend. england lost by one point against australia in the netball quad series at wembley, the second defeat of the tournament for england after a heavy loss to new zealand, it's a much improved england who led in this match, within touching distance of victory, but the lead slipped in the final stages despite pushing hard

to pull level against the number one side in the world. they trailed by one goal with one minute left but a late australian steal meant there would be no chance of getting the victory. great match but they lost 47—46. australia won the series as well. through the game you can look at some of the critical moments where we could have got ahead of australia but we have to look at the positives, the way that we picked ourselves up, we came out and showed them, the girls fought from the start to the end and we made them made changes and you've got to do that as a coach, challenge the coach as well as the team. sergio garcia led from start to finish at the dubai desert classic. the spaniard carded a bogey three final cut of 69 to finish on
