17—year—old nearby and she explained she had escaped through a window. pramack residents. the 17—year—old also showed some photographs that led the deputies to believe that the information she was providing was accurate. the deputies responded to that location and conducted a welfare cheque to check on the additional siblings in that home. there were a total of 13 siblings located, six of which under the age of 18. deputies when they arrived inside the house noticed that the children were malnourished, it was very dirty and conditions were horrific. the parents and children, biological parents and children, we re biological parents and children, were taken to the perris share of station for further investigation. m rand cal station for further investigation. m r and cal fire also responded to check on the children, their

well—being and all the siblings and child protection services were also dispatched to assist with the investigation. during the investigation. during the investigation we discovered the pa rents investigation we discovered the parents and children had lived in the city of perris since about 2014. they were home—schooled at that residents. there's no indication there any other students or children residing there. but at this time the investigation is still ongoing so we are not ruling anything out. i wish i could come to you with information that would explain why this happened. but we need to acknowledge the courage of the young girl who escaped from that residents to bring attention so they could get the help that they so needed. as i indicated earlier we are working with child

protection services and adult protection services and adult protection services and medical professionals to ensure that the victims get the help they need. the riverside county sheriff ‘s office there. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. good evening and welcome. coming up tonight, alexis sanchez looks like he's off but not the only big name to leave arsenal. we have all the latest tra nsfer to leave arsenal. we have all the latest transfer news. johanna konta gets into the second round at the australian open but cut a rather frustrated figure after her win in melbourne. and the war of words between anthonyjoshua melbourne. and the war of words between anthony joshua and melbourne. and the war of words between anthonyjoshua and joseph parker begins. it will take more than a parker begins. it will take more thana human parker begins. it will take more than a human to stop me from what i destined to do. plenty to get through this evening.

arsenal have been the club at the centre of most speculation in the tra nsfer centre of most speculation in the transfer window with alexis sanchez and theo walcott expected to leave. david 0rnstein is here and has been following developments. alexis sanchez, a big debate about where he could be going, a number of top clu bs could be going, a number of top clubs in for him. where is he going to go and if he goes to manchester united there could be an exchange move on the cards? for a long time it seemed he would be going to manchester city. they came close to signing him last summer. that fell apart on transfer deadline day in august. well this generally the only problem seems to be that manchester city failed to reach agreement with arsenal and with alexis sanchez and that allowed manchester united, their deadly rivals, to come into

their deadly rivals, to come into the picture and make an offer to alexis sanchez and potentially to arsenal but seems higher than city we re arsenal but seems higher than city were prepared to do. he also, city also seem to think chelsea are in contention to sign him but i do not think that is the case. antonio co nte think that is the case. antonio conte today suggested it was not. manchester united could either let henrik mkhitaryan go in the opposite direction in a straight swap deal with no cash involved or keep mkhitaryan and arsenal would receive strict cash. those are the options on the table. i think mkhitaryan, thatis on the table. i think mkhitaryan, that is looking more likely and all it really needs is for mkhitaryan to agree to that for that to happen. and theo walcott is also on the move, completing a £20 million move to everton. that seems to be getting closer. he was at aberdeen today, his medical began but the deal is not complete or finalised yet. there are still discussing terms but the

medical got started because everton conduct detailed medicals and by the end of that they hope to have agreed the terms. they do not want to agree the terms. they do not want to agree the terms and then have to start the medical. so in the next 24 hours or even sooner we medical. so in the next 24 hours or even sooner we should have the outcome of that. it would be in excess outcome of that. it would be in excess of £20 million and end the 12 year association with arsenal and theo walcott. and arsene wenger in headlines today for comments he made to referee mike dean following their draw with west brom on new year's eve. those comments coming out now. perhaps surprising the language used by arsene wenger. saying that he was very aggressive, pointing aggressively at me. questioning his honesty. mike dean obviously will not be happy. very strong words and this follow—up penalty incident late in the match with arsenal reading when calum chambers was deemed to have handled the ball. a penalty was given and it was scored. arsene

wenger was furious and you saw those comments there, branding, suggesting that mike dean was dishonest and calling him a disgrace. the fa has also warned arsene wenger this evening formally about his media comments before and after arsenal played against chelsea. he described the disputed refereeing decisions as concerning coincidences. so hot water therefore arsene wenger who has already been in the middle of this three—game touchline ban. and with this formal warning he could be further trouble if he reaffirms. for the moment, many thanks. as arsenal chase a spot in the top four paul lambert will attempt to lead stoke city to safety after replacing mark hughes yesterday. he faced the media today and admitted he was not the first choice for the club although he did not care. i never thought i

would get the chance again to come backin would get the chance again to come back in and take a team from the championship back—up. i am honoured and privileged to be here. i never second—guessed it. i knowi and privileged to be here. i never second—guessed it. i know i was not first choice, whether i was 15th choice, it does not matter. it is a great opportunity. the fa cup takes centre stage tonight, five thirds round replays including west ham and their attempt. conor mcnamara said their attempt. conor mcnamara said the scene from the london stadium. well there has been a recent managerial merry—go—round in the premier league and i think the

replacement of david moyes with slaven bilic has been welcome. five games now unbeaten in a row for west ham and they moved five points clear of the relegation zone in the premier league. of course tonight is the fa cup, third—round replay against shrewsbury town and they did very well in the original game between these two that led to the replay. they are doing well in league 1, unbeaten for ten games. they lost against blackburn at the weekend but still in second place. they will bring a large contingent with them hoping to see their team do something that they've never managed before, to win away from home in the fa cup against a team from the top flight. 3000 travelling supporters coming to london and hoping they can witness a bit of history this evening. and here are replays in full. you can follow all the action across the bbc sport

website and bbc radio 5 live later. now the world of football is coming to terms with the death of cyril regis and one of his fellow players has been paying tribute to the friend and team—mate with help to change attitudes towards black players in the game. change attitudes towards black players in the gamelj change attitudes towards black players in the game. i think for eve ryo ne players in the game. i think for everyone concerned itjust feels very numb and people are shocked and saddened. and cannot quite believe it. i cannot believe i will not be seeing that big smile of his again. just by his exploits in the field that inspired a lot of kids black and white to become professional footballers. now we realise, we a lwa ys footballers. now we realise, we always knew that he was loved but i do not think we realised how much and by so many. this austrian open

tennis now. britain's joha na konta reached the second round of the australian open after a straight sets victory over madison brengle. memories of the australian open sit well with johanna konta memories of the australian open sit well withjohanna konta having made the quarterfinals and semifinals in successive the quarterfinals and semifinals in su ccess ive yea rs . the quarterfinals and semifinals in successive years. her coach says that she could win it this time but he also said so could 20 others. she dominated from the outset, madison brengle struggled to deal with her stellar server and clever placement. her path to the second round would have been even smoother had not been for flurry of unforced errors. her new coach did not look very impressed but that mood would not have lasted long, johanna konta won the second set in just over half an hour. it could've been a lot less had she managed to nail match point.

but finally at the fourth time of asking she sealed her place in the second round and will face the american. bernardo pana. so quite a routine win for her but she appeared to have different things on her mind involving blueberries. to have different things on her mind involving blueberrieslj to have different things on her mind involving blueberries. i went to the supermarket to buy blueberries, i only bought two planets are blueberries and i left them there. $5| blueberries and i left them there. $5 i will not get back. but more at the betrayal of my own mind, but i feel so upset about. i was so sad! well i hope she's finally got her hands of now. heather watson couldn't join konta in the second round. she lost in straight sets to yulia putintseva. still to come the firstjamaican bobsleigh team to qualify for the winter olympics. plus the bbc and

premier league combined to get children active. now simone biles says she was sexually abused by the former team usa gymnastics doctor larry nassar. more than 130 women have filed civil lawsuits against him alleging abuse. she was the outstanding athlete from the rio 0lympics, outstanding athlete from the rio olympics, the most successfulfemale gymnast ever in the sport. and she a lwa ys gymnast ever in the sport. and she always looks so invincible and confident. so bubbly, so to think that she's been subjected to this and suffered so much is almost unthinkable for people i think. now to the build—up to the next fight of anthonyjosh wood againstjoseph parker. the pair were in london today and it was likely to say the

least with allegations and accusations flying around. anthony joshua admitting past failings. anthonyjoshua was still in file —— infine anthonyjoshua was still in file —— in fine form long after the main press co nfe re nce in fine form long after the main press conference has ended. this is a separate room where one—to—one interviews take place after the main press co nfe re nce . interviews take place after the main press conference. there's a sweet just along from here and the build—up to the press conference was dominated by claims from thejoseph parker camp that anthony joshua dominated by claims from thejoseph parker camp that anthonyjoshua was a drugs cheat, had been on steroids, claims which were withdrawn before the press conference took place here on the top table which has now been removed. thejoseph on the top table which has now been removed. the joseph parker camp on the top table which has now been removed. thejoseph parker camp were insistent still that anthonyjoshua had a weak chin and this is his response. the three times i've been hurt was in the european championships and mccracken knows

that i was banned for the gb team. i we nt that i was banned for the gb team. i went back to watford, i stopped boxing and two weeks before that the european championship, i was called up european championship, i was called up to represent the country. i was very unfit i did not even get dropped but stop. when you tank is empty it is hard to perform. the second time was david price, i'd come out of a police cell and the day i went up to training are not using that as an excuse but david price is a puncher, and with wladimir klitschko and all those times, it taught me it would take more than a human to stop me from what i'm destined to be. while joseph parker holds the wbo version of the world title, he is unbeaten in 24 fights. 18 of those inside the distance. and he has a strong amateur pedigree like anthonyjoshua and says he has been monitoring him since those days back in the unpaid ranks. i met john shaw once back in

azerbaijan when we were amateurs and he was doing quite well. —— i met anthonyjoshua. i turned professional before him, i watched him at the olympics coming through when he first started his professional career. i feel he is a good fighter and has a lot of support as you can see. he does a lot of good things and something 's not that good. but this is my time, my destiny to be here, to be part of this major event. and my time to put up this major event. and my time to put upa great this major event. and my time to put up a great challenge. i feel, i truly feel i'm going to win. so victory for anthonyjoshua would give him three of the four world championship belts. so a chance for him to move a step closer to heavyweight history in march in cardiff. wales have named two uncapped players in their squad for the six nations — worcester wing josh adams and scarlets flankerjames davies are both in. number eight taulupe faletau has

been included despite being ruled out of the first two matches with a knee injury. warren gatland has also picked george north for his 39 man squad, even though he, too, has a knee injury. and former captain greig laidlaw returns to a 40—man scotland squad. he hasn't played a test for almost a year and is just returning from a broken leg. john barclay will still be skipper. there are four uncapped players included — props murray mccallum and d'arcy rae, full—back blair kinghorn and scrum—half nathan fowles. ronnie o'sullivan rattled through his first round match at the masters snooker. his opponent marco fu only potted 8 balls in his 6 frames to nil victory. welcome back to alexandra palace, day three and what today and what a performance from ronnie o'sullivan. dominic from start to finish. marco fu played one bad safety shot, his first shot and from then there was no doubt. you need to have sympathy

with marco fu, there was just nothing he could do today. ronnie o'sullivan was in magnificent form. he has had some great results here anyway. to think of the age of 42 he is still producing possibly his best snooker is amazing. and considering he came in earlier and said that he had a virus! well these days we have a lot of players getting a lot of compliments, they're putting on pressure and i find that hard to understand. so mark allen is going to be under pressure. he normally is up to be under pressure. he normally is up for these big occasions but ronnie o'sullivan in that form, it is hard to see how he could not win the tournament. and a standing ovation from the crowd today. he gave them value for money but every

day is different on the snooker table. and if mark allen shows form you have a different game on your hands. thank you. well after a terrible accident several years ago robert cabeza is now a step closer after being named as a reserve formula 1 driverfor after being named as a reserve formula 1 driver for williams. after being named as a reserve formula 1 driverfor williams. he still does not have full movement in one arm. i think it is a small goal and a small victory which we have achieved because you can imagine i've had some tough days in the last three years but the support was huge. i neverfelti three years but the support was huge. i neverfelt i was three years but the support was huge. i never felt i was alone. there were always people cheering and motivating you to give even more and motivating you to give even more and more. not to
