i appreciate you coming down from yorkshire with these little guys. that's about it for tonight. we are back on monday. have a great weekend. goodnight. hello and lock into sports day. coming up, a dream debut for liverpool as virgil van dijk scores the winner of the fa set up merseyside derby. another stunning strike from jesse lingard helps manchester united reach round four. will also be looking ahead to fleetwood ‘s clash with leicester.

sadly, no fairytale return forjamie vardy. only one place to start, a frantic fa cup merseyside derby with liverpool coming out to— one winners over their neighbours everton. andy swiss was watching. it is one of football's oldest and fiercest rivalries. liverpool and everton, under the spotlight once more, especially this man. the world's most expensive defender virgil van dijk handed his liverpool debut and an early view ofjust what this fixture means. wayne rooney's enthusiastic challenge earning him a yellow card. if that was clear—cut, though, this was more contentious. a liverpool penalty. everton‘s mason holgate may feel hard done by butjames milner didn't mind as he fired the hosts ahead.

on a chilly night, suddenly, the temperature was rising. holgate shoving roberto firmino into the crowd and sparking a furious reaction. anger on both sides but liverpool with the half—time lead. everton had barely threatened but finally and thrillingly they stirred into life. a length of the pitch move and a nervous finish. gylfi sigurdsson. and seemingly from nowhere, they were level. but with time running out, it was the 75 million pound debutant who grabbed the headlines. van dijk with a most dramatic of winners. an unforgettable night for him and for liverpool. anfield, it seems, has a new star. another third round tie tonight at old trafford when manchester united faced derby, second in the championship, and six minutes away from a replay when jesse championship, and six minutes away from a replay whenjesse lingard picking up the ball on the edge of

the area, a goal well worth waiting for, his fifth in his last six games and then lukaku hadn't scored in four matches, came on as a substitute at half—time and wraps things up, in the 90th minute here, 2-0 things up, in the 90th minute here, 2—0 finish. tamora ‘s early fa cup tie went to the fairytale return of jamie vardy at fleetwood when they tackle mostar. he has a groin injury. hejoins from tackle mostar. he has a groin injury. he joins from the tackle mostar. he has a groin injury. hejoins from the nonleague side in 2012 for £1 million, but to say they got their money ‘s worth. no emotional return to him tomorrow after suffering the injury against liverpool last weekend. my name is jamie vardy, placer fleetwood town between 2011—12 and helped them promoted to the football league. vardy is on the left foot again. yes! jamie vardy! pure magic!m speed, you are terrified of it. you would never have thought he was a footballer. i always knew he was

good. but i guessed i never thought he would do want to the heights he has. while lived with all of them, five in one house. his always boring your clothes or your car. just a normal lad, came into work every day, nothing fazed him, he came in, he was easy maintenance. he would have a laugh, a bit of banter. he would go out, work hard. nothing but good times when i was there. obviously they gave me my first opportunity to play full—time football. i have to thank them quite a lot for that. vardy! no arguments! as we got further into the season, it became more obvious that he wasn't going to be here too long, not least because there were an army of scouts from big clubs here pretty

much every home game. it was like a who's who on some games, particularly midweek, when premier league managers were here. they started raving about me and i think he was the one who said they would pay £1 million and i think that was it after that, the chairman says that's it, someone pays that you're not going anywhere. that's it, someone pays that you're not going anywherelj that's it, someone pays that you're not going anywhere. i do think him going to leicester was a surprise because they have been interested in him for months, particularly in the january window. i didn't have any doubts personally that he wouldn't be able to replicate what he had done here in the championship. vardy all the way! it is in! it is hard to believe how far he has gone from here. he has not forgot where he came from and how he got there. he still keeps in touch and it is a credit to him that he hasn't forgotten his past. i don't expect anything other than for him to be a real journey of rediscovery anything other than for him to be a realjourney of rediscovery for him really. me personally it will be a

great experience to go back. he's done so well to himself. the young players in this squad look up to him, he started at fleetwood town and went on to do great things. you could be the next jamie vardy, they could be the next jamie vardy, they could take a look at him and aspire to be like him. elsewhere ross barkley joint chelsea from to be like him. elsewhere ross barkleyjoint chelsea from everton for a £15 million fee, he is yet to play after hamstring surgery but is approaching match fitness, he signed approaching match fitness, he signed a 5.5 killed —— year deal at sta mford a 5.5 killed —— year deal at stamford bridge. talking about an english player, a young player, and he has a good prospect. for chelsea. i think the club decided for this investment, also for his contract. i think he used a good opportunity for the club... to buy these player.

arson finger has been handed a three match touchline ban and fined by the football association after comments he made about the referee of sunday's premier league game against west brom. in a separate case he was asked to clarify his comments after claiming the news conference earlier is always served football with honesty and integrity. natalie perks has more. the statement today the fa says the ban follows an independent regulatory commission hearing in which the arsenal manager admitted his language and behaviour in the match officials changing room was abusive, in proper, and questioned the integrity of the match referee, so the integrity of the match referee, so the three match ban now means he will miss the game this weekend, the fa cup match against nottingham forest, the first leg of arsenal ‘s semifinal in the league cup against chelsea, and a premier league match away at bournemouth. in a separate case he has been asked to his observations about things he said about the festive period relating to

penalty decisions. at the moment he seems to be suggesting the recent kind of conspiracy against arsenal, he really doesn't seem to be a happy bunny. he has form for the last season, he served a a—game touchline ban season, he served a a—game touchline ba n after season, he served a a—game touchline ban after swearing at anthony taylor during a home game against burnley and calling him dishonest, though not a happy bunny at the moment! the first of the paralympic gb athletes have been select today to the winter games atjohn chang which the beginning of march. kelly gallagher has been left out of the team but could yet go as their chasers will be reallocated at the end of the month. six representatives were planned scheme, including two guys have been named, three snowboarders. kate grey has been at the snow centre to meet the team. with just 62 days until the start of the winter paralympics, the excitement is really starting to build amongst the nine athletes that have been select that so far here today. including world champion visually

impaired skier millie knight and her guide wrote wild. this will be her second paralympic games which is quite an impressive achievement considering she is only 19. but she does admit expectations are much higher this time around. when i went to sochi in 2014 there was no pressure on me at all. i purely went to the experience. but now i am sort of four years older, there is a little more pressure on me now to do well. which is exciting. for the three snowboarders, this will be their debut games as britain has never been represented in this discipline before. and owen peake who lost his leg while serving in afghanistan is very much looking forward to getting out on the slopes inagb forward to getting out on the slopes in a gb vest. we will be the first quys in a gb vest. we will be the first guys to go and do it, its so—called because looking back four years, there two snowboarders doing around there two snowboarders doing around the country or around the world and competing in the competition so now we have a whole team to go and we

are going up there together to represent which is incredible. this is the first phase of the selection for the british team and more names are likely to be added over the next few weeks. and that is all from sports day. good night. good evening. it has been a stormy start to say the least of 2018 but the weather is quieting a little to this weekend but is getting colder again. we are ready happy redress if you like today, some wintry weather. this was staffordshire earlier. various bands of cloud and wintry weather around and continues through the night, strong winds will push the night, strong winds will push the bands of wintry weather the south, wesley on the hills but clearly with temperatures close to freezing ice will be a risk as it will potentially further south, even, with a few showers. we could

even, with a few showers. we could even have some faltering in across southern areas. but particularly central areas that tomorrow morning if you are travelling, it could be an issue because it could be quite dense. in the south, we have a weather front close by, dense. in the south, we have a weatherfront close by, more dense. in the south, we have a weather front close by, more showers to come they are likely to linger for much of the day while further north of the front which is likely to lie across central areas first thing, some sunshine! it will be cold sunshine first in the morning and there will still be wintry showers around, particularly in the north—east of scotland and north—east of scotland and north—east england, but it looks much drier and brighter on the whole to scotland and northern ireland. the winds ease eventually, pushing the club further south from sharp showers remains the southern parts of the country the great area and decreasing wind it will feel quite bitter, for example if you were going to london to which the fa cup third round between fleetwood and leicester, it will be bitterly cold and feel bitterly cold, six on the thermometer but honestly feel in lower than that because of wind chill that lovely sunshine further north but despite the sunshine and a

3- north but despite the sunshine and a 3— five celsius. yes, there isn't much strengthened the sun this time of year. overnight wind pushes the cloud away, eventually, from southern areas and the showers are more widespread, frost tomorrow night, two bridges in the towns will be freezing or below for most, but in the countryside significantly lower, minus 12— —15 in the snowfields in the north is it will be an icy start as we head into sunday morning and it still feels bitter, despite having more sunshine, a lovely day sometime why of the country on sunday, but not a warm one. and it will feel colder, as they say, the wind chill a significant fact in the north—east. not that much in the north. then we change again as we go through to monday because the high pressure is with us this weekend, it starts to push its grip as you see the tightly packed isobars in the south—east, with a buzzing dating from the west, and what it means is gradually cloud will increase, so we still have the biting east wind in the south on monday but more clout than the wind

strengthening elsewhere so for all of us agree and cloudy day, is in some freezing drizzle by monday. there is more on our website. this is bbc world news. i'm ben bland. our top stories: the author of a damning book on donald trump says he stands by everything he wrote in his depiction of a chaotic white house. toa to a description would save one description that everyone gave, eve ryo ne description that everyone gave, everyone has in common, they all say is like a child. —— i would say one description. brutally cold weather in the united states kills at least 18 people, low—temperature records are set to be broken in the coming days. the lines of communication are open. north korea agrees to talks with the south, the first in more than two years. the winter olympics will be high on the agenda. the film that kevin spacey was in, and then wasn't. we talk to director ridley scott about the business of replacing the actor after allegations of sexual misconduct.
