hello. this is bbc news. the headlines at 6:30pm. the chairman of the parole board apologises after some victims of the serial sex attacker john worboys weren't told he was about to be released. my understanding at the moment is we were informed that the victims had been told about the decision and then we released the decision on that basis, but nevertheless this was a problem with the parole system and i apologise unreservedly to them. jon venables, one of the killers of the toddlerjames bulger, is charged in relation to indecent images of children. president trump dismisses a new book about him as "full of lies". its author says he stands by everything he wrote. sales of new cars fall for the first time in six years, with demand for diesel models plunging by almost a fifth. in a moment, it will be time for sportsday, but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. as that book about president trump

hits the shelves, what's the interest been like this side of the pond? i'll be speaking to the boss of waterstones. brewing up a debate about the best way to tackle recycling — could a 25p "latte levy" be the answer? and, as ridley scott's all the money in the world hits the screens, we'll get the verdict on all this week's releases in the film review. that's all ahead on bbc news. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to fa cup sportsday. i'm holly hamilton and we're live from anfield ahead of the 230th merseyside derby. it's undoubtedly the tie of the round, bringing together two sides who sit just a few hundred yards apart and who have won the trophy 12 times between them. we'll also be looking ahead to fleetwood's clash with leicester. sadly, there will be no fairytale return for former and i am will perry with all

today's other sports news. another high profile casualty — reigning australian open champion serena williams pulls out of this year's tournament, saying she's not yet ready, four months after the birth of her daughter. coming up, i'll have all of the action and reaction from dade two of the sydney test, another good one for australia. —— from day two. hello and welcome to fa cup sports day, life from anfield, and what an evening we have in store for you. the 230th merseyside derby, worth a place in the forefront of the fa cup. for liverpool and everton, it's their second meeting less than a month after playing out that h

draw in december, but this is a cup competition, where the rivals crank up competition, where the rivals crank up the drama. any thoughts of lifting silverware are not far from the surface, as we enter the third round of the competition, traditionally a time for giant—killing, but this is a battle of two giants. mcdermott! 0h, mcdermott! oh, that was beautiful! and rush on the far side. is it three? it is! rush, goal! unbelievable! and a follow—up, driving his way through. and they score! and that kick is headed in,

with andy carroll for liverpool! they have certainly got history. liverpool come into the tie in strong form, having won their last three matches. in stark contrast, everton have struggled for a win in four games, but liverpool have had their problems, they will be without mo salah and felipe coutinho. what impact will not have? let's speak to somebody who knows a thing or two about the fa cup, danny murphy. thank you forjoining us. ijust mentioned some injuries that liverpool are dealing with. that's not their only concern. there is speculation about philippe coutinho‘s future. will that be a distraction tonight?” coutinho‘s future. will that be a distraction tonight? i don't coutinho's future. will that be a distraction tonight? i don't think so. distraction tonight? i don't think so. i think the bigger picture, you have to look at how you replace them oi’ have to look at how you replace them or how the team plays without him, but tonight the barbie looks after

itself. one thing liverpool don't like is creativity. they have lots of players to try and get a start. —— one thing liverpool don't lack. they make a lot of chances. i don't think it's a big dealfor tonight. it's a shame that again this great clu b it's a shame that again this great club is going to lose probably one of its best players to one of the bigger boys, if you like, but that means somebody else can stand up, and with mo salah's merchants, how well he has done, it isn't as much ofa well he has done, it isn't as much of a global but tonight i think it's about pride and commitment and quality. —— it isn't as much of a blow. i think liverpool still feel ha rd blow. i think liverpool still feel hard done bye—bye the penalty decision in the last game for the everton decision in the last game for the eve rto n fa ns decision in the last game for the everton fans will have all eyes on sam allardyce. everton fans will have all eyes on sam alla rdyce. do everton fans will have all eyes on sam allardyce. do you think his main concern has been the premier league this season? do you think he will throw everything at the fa cup was

to mark! throw everything at the fa cup was to mark i think he will because it is liverpool and they don't play for a while. although a lot of players have played a lot over christmas, he will go strong athlete can tonight and have a go, because they have a recipe of coming up. —— as strong as he can. this is probably the best chance for both teams for silverware. a lot of pressure coming forjurgen klopp, is he going to win some silverware? the fa cup is a massive opportunity, and for sam. i expect a really good game and i think everton might have a bit more ofago think everton might have a bit more ofa go in think everton might have a bit more of a go in the league game. for somebody who has won it in the past, how much pressure will there be on the players and, for you, how does it compare to rest of your history? growing up in this country, the fa cup was massive for me, so i always dreamt about it. we didn't do it at wembley but at the millennium stadium because wembley was being redone, but i look back on it with great pride. i think playing for liverpool, there is pressure every

game, and you are ultimatelyjudged, because it's a great club, an silverware, so there is a pressure when they walk on this pitch in a cup game against local rivals to win. some players deal with it better than others. every time i watch liverpool, they play with a freedom and smile on their face generally, and i don't see a difference tonight. i think they'll have a go at everton, but everton have a go at everton, but everton have quality too. it will be a good game. i fancy liverpool to have quality too. it will be a good game. ifancy liverpool to make amends for the league game. predicted scoreline? i'm really bad at predicting! i'd say 2—1 to liverpool. everton are tough to play but, with liverpool's firepower, i think they will have two michael silverware at stake, —— i think they will have two win. looted from the managers. we know about the importance, that's

clear, but it's similar targets, and we have to respect that, first talk about winning something before we played the first round already sounds a bit disrespectful, so we know it could be a tough game but for everton as well, that's the most important news maybe. and we will try everything to go in the next round. that's all what we are thinking about. it is not a league game. there are no points available. it is win or bust. as simple as that. it's not the premier league, less pressure. it is a glory game. you go out and seek the glory and try and win it. if we are to get through, we have to beat liverpool. talking about the glory game that it is from sam allardyce. how much pressure will there be an sam are considering he had such a fantastic start when hejoined considering he had such a fantastic start when he joined with everton, but they have had a tricky season over christmas? did that come down to it being a busy festive period?|j

to it being a busy festive period?” think they have been playing defensively to get points on the board and consolidate their position in the premier league, sam always does that. from a couple of months ago, they are in a better place, and the supporters knew that was what was needed, because they were conceding goals. in terms of tonight, it's all about the result, of course. if you play badly and go through, you don't mind. i think the everton through, you don't mind. i think the eve rto n fa ns through, you don't mind. i think the everton fa ns wa nt through, you don't mind. i think the everton fans want to see some more belief and attacking play in the way they set up. i think sam will do that tonight, because he knows that, if you do put everyone behind the ball and try and hang on for dear life against liverpool, normally, they got a goal late on in the league game and they snatched the point, really, but if they are back negative tonight, i think they will get turned over. in the cup you have more freedom. i think everton will

be more positive, and i think the fa ns be more positive, and i think the fans will want that, rather than being... don't get me wrong, they will accept a gritty win, but i think they want everton to be more attacking and they go more.” think they want everton to be more attacking and they go more. i think we are in for an exciting game. danny murphy, thank you. of course, this isn't the only fa cup third round tie happening tonight. manchester united kick off their fa cup campaign with a third—round tie against championship side derby county at old trafford this evening. conor mcnamara is there for us. with manchester united finding themselves so far behind manchester city in the race for the premier league title, you'd expectjose mourinho would be putting a lot of resources behind an fa cup run for this campaign. reading in the programme notes, jose mourinho said, we we re programme notes, jose mourinho said, we were unfortunate to leave at the quarterfinals last season and we will be taking it seriously this time. he said, we won two trophies in 2017 to add to the club's record,

and we want to keep it going this year by winning more silverware. derby are riding high in the championship, second in the table. they have an aspiration of being involved in stadiums like this on a regular basis next season. i think tonight will be a good barometer to see if derby are equipped to compete against the big boys again. manchester united, who lost to bristol city we simply in the league cup, so they have already lost to a tea m cup, so they have already lost to a team from the lower leagues this season, you've got about 35 years to the last time manchester united were beaten twice in campaign by teams from a lower level. but derby will give it a go and manchester united might have to dig in to book their place in the fourth round. well, plenty more to come at anfield, but now back to wil perry ina nice, anfield, but now back to wil perry in a nice, warm studio for the rest of the news. away from the fa cup, ross barkley is on his way from the club just a couple of hundred metres away from holly to chelsea.

the champions have signed the england midfielder for £15 million today from everton. he's signed a five—and—a—half year contract. he's yet to play this season after having hamstring surgery, but he's now approaching match fitness. chelsea manager antonio conte says it's a good move for the club. we are talking about an english player, and he has a good prospect for chelsea. i think that the club decided for this investment, also for his contract. i think this is a good opportunity for the club to buy this player. arsenal manager arsene wenger will serve a three—match touchline ban and has been fined £40,000 after being charged with misconduct by the fa. wenger was furious with referee mike dean after a penalty decision allowed west brom to equalise late on. wenger said this morning that he serves football

with "honesty and integrity" and was shocked to be charged by the fa over his behaviour. you imagine that i'm 21 years in the game, and what i've seen and heard in the corridors from people. you can quite understand that i'm surprised and shocked by having been charged. australia are in control after day two of the final ashes test. the hosts are 193—2 in reply to england's 346. patrick gearey in sydney. it's the most often repeated sentence of the ashes, steve smith is still there, alongside usman khawaja, not far short of his century, and they are batting australia into a strong position. earlier, england showed some fight.

they lost dawid malan early on thanks to a spectacular catch by smith, but the rest of australia's catching not in the same class. pat cummins madea catching not in the same class. pat cummins made a terrible clanger in the field and the rest of the england lower order added useful contributions, moeen ali, tom curran and stuart broad all making 30, and england put on 113 before being bowled out. a good start in the field, stuart broad clean bowling camra. david morley made his customary 50. —— stuart broad clean bowling bancroft. mason crane, that they couldn't leg—spinner, bowled well, but australia were increasingly uncomfortable —— co mforta ble increasingly uncomfortable —— comfortable as the day wore on. england must somehow now work out how to get sniff out. we managed to get smith tourniquet

few today but none of them carried. do you think he is immune to getting out? he has got out four times this series. he is playing well and seemed well, but he's only human so we'll keep bowling tomorrow and hope we'll keep bowling tomorrow and hope we get him out. how essential to your possibility of winning the match is getting him early? he is a key player and if we get him out and can take key player and if we get him out and ca n ta ke two key player and if we get him out and can take two or three, we can hopefully get a first innings lead. there's another high profile casualty ahead of the australian open. reigning champion serena williams has pulled out of this year's tournament, claiming she's not ready to return, four months after the birth of her daughter. here's our tennis correspondent, russell fuller. she says she was superb close to being in the sort of shape she needed be to compete at the australian open, but ultimately not quite where she means to be pulled if you are serena williams, you need to be in championship winning form.

she doesn't turn up to be part of the supporting cast. she turns up to win. it's only four months since she gave birth. she played pretty impressively in an exhibition match last week, but no great surprise, i think, given the short time that elapsed since she became a mother that she feels she isn't quite player ready. i think their return in miami in march is more realistic, and even then it would only be six months since she gave birth. after andy murray's withdrawal, there's another injury worry for a british tennis player. kyle edmund may not be fully fit going into the australian open. he was playing some great tennis in his quarterfinal against grigor dimitrov in the brisbane international, taking the match into a deciding set. but he cried out in pain and collapsed to the floor after catching his right ankle. although he carried on with heavy strapping, he couldn't find a way past defending champion dimitrov. the first of the paralympics gb athletes have been selected today

for the winter paralympics in pyeongchang, which start at the beginning of march. sochi gold medallist kelly gallagher has been left out of the team but could yet go as spare places will be reallocated at the end of the month. today six representatives for alpine skiing, including two guides, have been named along with three snowboarders. kate grey has been in hemel hempstead snow centre to meet the team. with just 62 days until the start of the winter paralympics, the excitement is really starting to build among the nine athletes that have been selected so far today including world champion milli night, and her guide. it will be her second paralympics, impressive considering she is only 19, but she admits that expectations are much higher this time around. in sochi in

2014 there was no pressure at all. i purely went for the experience. but now i am four years older. there is a bit more pressure on me now to do well. it's exciting. for the three snowboarders, it will be their debut games as britain has never been represented in this discipline before, and olympic, who lost his leg while serving in afghanistan, is looking forward to getting out on the slopes in a gb vest. we will be the slopes in a gb vest. we will be the first guys to go and do it, which is cool. four years ago, there we re which is cool. four years ago, there were just two snowboarders going around the country, around the world competing in these competitions, and now we've got a whole team together and we are going out there to represent. it's incredible. this is the first phase of selection for the british team and more names are likely to be added in the next few weeks. this week, nearly 1.5 million of you watched rob cross sweep to victory

in the world darts championship, winning £400,000. this week, we will see some of the world's best amateurs competing in the bdo championships at lakeside, where the men can take home £100,000, but prize for the winning a £12,000. world champion should qualify patricia right from mitcham has been talking about her hopes for the women's game. the british darts organisation has helped their world championships at lakeside in surrey since 1986, and we have had a women's tournament since 2001. after 17 years trying, patricia has qualified to compete.” 17 years trying, patricia has qualified to compete. i have been close so many times and i turned round and said, i'm going to do it before and 60, and i'm 60 this year, so i've just squeezed before and 60, and i'm 60 this year, so i'vejust squeezed in! before and 60, and i'm 60 this year, so i've just squeezed in! walking into her lounge isn't quite the same asa into her lounge isn't quite the same as a darts walk on, but no less tricia the right stuff wright, a

walk on music had to be new kids on the block. do you like the song? it's ok. the lakeside prize for the women is eight times less than the men, although the hours of graft rarely differ from the male counterparts. we have been arguing this for years and i can't see where it's going to change. when it comes to michael van gerwen, who competed in the bbc recently, he said he thinks that women will never be as good at darts. do you see that changing? possibly, if the women have to go to work and everything else. for the professional men, they've got more time if they are a full professional to stand at that board and it all day. tricia has competed against men for the ones pushing three—time world champion daryl fitton toonie defeat, and words were listed as wordsworth

whispered at the oche. he said they few words, but in good fun. what tricia can do is give me a quick masterclass. i'm aiming for triple 20. you got a triple. is that triple 18 or triple four? triple four. no jerking. i'll take that! the bdo world championships starring tricia wright, not me, starts tomorrow. loving that front room! you are up—to—date with the rest of the sport news. now let's cross back to anfield ahead of that fa cup 3rd round clash between liverpool and everton, and holly. welcome back to anfield. a little chilly here than it is in the studio. i hope that we'll is enjoying himself. an incredible game

ahead. the 230 ‘s merseyside derby, but that's not the only fa cup tie taking place this weekend. another one to watch out for happening tomorrow, fleetwood against leicester, but they will not be a fairy tale return forjamie vardy. he went to leicester in 2012 for £1 million. we all know how that went. sadly, he is out with a groin injury. certainly plenty more to keep an eye out for. injamie vardy and i played for fleetwood town from 2011 to 2012 and i started getting them promoted. vardy! jamie vardy! moments of pure magic. the defenders are terrified of his speed. you would never think he was a footballer. i always knew he was a footballer. i always knew he was a footballer. i always knew

he was good but i never thought he'd go on to win that. a very good player. five of us in one house,.“ something happens to you, you'd know that he was involved. just a normal light, came to work every day, nothing fazed him. —— a normal lad. he was easy maintenance, we'd have a laugh, a bit of banter, he'd go out and work hard. i had nothing but good times there. obviously the game, my first opportunity to play full—time football. game, my first opportunity to play full-time football. vardy on his way. vardy! he looked full of goals but as we got further into the seasonit but as we got further into the season it became more obvious he wasn't going to be gay too long, not least because there were an army of scouts for him from quite big clubs. —— he wasn't going to be here too

long. we would have premier league managers. i think it was ian holloway who started raving about me a bit. he was the one who said he'd pay £1 million, and i think after that the chairman said, that's it, unless somebody pays out, you are not going anywhere.” unless somebody pays out, you are not going anywhere. i don't think him going to leicester was a surprise because they had been interested for a number of months. at that stage i didn't have any doubts he'd be able to replicate what he'd done in the championship. vardy, it's in! is hard to believe how far he's gone from here. he's not forgotten where he's come from. he keeps in contact. that's a credit to him. i don't expect anything other than it to be a realjourney of rediscovery for him. for me it will be a great experience to go back. the young players in this

squad and look at jamie vardy, he started at fleetwood town and went on to do great things. they can take a look at jamie vardy, and that's who they aspire to be like. now the game between newcastle and luton tomorrow will be very special for one particular family. former newcastle and england midfielder rob lee will be on a coach with 40 other family members to watch his two sons olly and elliott in action for luton at his former club. what were your first memory is of dad and what he did for a living?” don't think we paid much attention. nice! dad would top end and i would like to tell him but he was half decent. here is rob lee! good run again, lee! brilliant goal! all the

lads came round to play five—a—side. alan would be there and gary speed. at your house? yeah. do you ever think of that when you're out on the pitch, do you look down the line and 90, pitch, do you look down the line and go, oh, its my brother? pitch, do you look down the line and go, oh, it's my brother? there are some surreal moments. the first time we started a game together, it was... it was a strange feeling. and it's nice as a tried to set him up. -- is it's nice as a tried to set him up. —— is nice as the midfielder to try and set him up. it's great getting out there. it's a nice way to do it. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. we will have all of the build—up with polly hamilton at anfield. that kick—off is at 7:55pm. the merseyside derby in the fa cup is on bbc one. it should be a brilliant game, liverpool against everton in

the fa cup, kicking off the fa cup third round weekend. good evening. it has been a showery day and for some of us you will have noticed things turning colder as well. that theme continues through the weekend. this is how it looks in pembrokeshire this afternoon, some clear skies, but some big clouds as well. we will continue to see showers through the night across parts of southern england and wales, and further north some showers of rain and hill slope across northern england and into central and eastern scotland. overnight, host of for many, especially in the north. also in the south—west of england, where they could be icy stretches first thing. saturday dawns on a chilly note for many. there are showers falling, so the odd icy stretch in

the south—west. fairly cloudy and milder to the south—east, with some outbreaks of rain, and some mist and fog. fairly gloomy and grey for england and wales. in northern england, northern ireland and wales, a bit more sunshine. a north—easterly breeze will blow in wintry showers through the day, especially in north—east england. plenty of sunshine in the northern half, but further south there is a cloudy zone which will shift south later, but it will bring showery rain to parts of southern england and south wales. temperatures six or seven in the south, three to five further north. things turn colder on saturday night, as the north—easterly breeze continues. we will see clear spells and, as the windfall, temperatures in towns and cities below freezing, and in the countryside it could get down to —10 in rural scotland. quite a widespread frost and some icy stretches on sunday morning. sunday

isa stretches on sunday morning. sunday is a sparkling day with high pressure in charge, light winds, lots of sunshine, any morning mist clearing away quickly. a fine day, but it will feel colder than recently. some places struggling to get above freezing or labelled high pressure stays in charge through sunday and onto monday. atlantic weather fronts trying to move in from the west. they are bumping into cold air with high pressure in charge. monday looks fine and dry, feeling pretty chilly, but like twins and lots of sunshine. things may turn more unsettled from the west next week. —— but light winds and lots of sunshine. a levy on lattes — a proposed 25p on each takeaway cup to encourage recycling. also, as snow and ice continued to hit parts of the united states, the worst is to come.
