as he has got some edmund can relax, as he has got some thing to lose. to me, it seemed that he is two steps away. a lot of stuff can happen. you pay one good one, and the other guy pays one bad one. normally there is no bad matches any more in semifinal, but, you know, it isa more in semifinal, but, you know, it is a good situation to be in. he can head in freely, with no act petitions whatsoever. you may never be in this situation ever again, to have no expectation. coverage is on sky —— live sports extra. shops all... she was also nominated for the bbc‘s sports personality of the

year award. congratulations to have. and that is it from sports they —— sportsday. just a reminder of our headlines. i will be here... from all of us, at the bbc sports centre, good night. hello good evening, let's get more now on the news that the former doctor of the gymnastics team, larry nassar, has been sentenced to 175 yea rs nassar, has been sentenced to 175 years in prison for sexually abusing female athletes. here is how larry nassar received his sentence in court, earlier. i havejust signed your death warrant. i need everybody

to be quiet. i told you, i'm not nice. ifind that to be quiet. i told you, i'm not nice. i find that you to be quiet. i told you, i'm not nice. ifind that you don't to be quiet. i told you, i'm not nice. i find that you don't get it. that you are 18job. —— a danger. you remain a danger. i am a judge who believes in rehabilitation, when it is possible. i have many defendants come back here and show me the great thing is that they have donein me the great thing is that they have done in their lives, after probation, after brawl. i don't find thatis probation, after brawl. i don't find that is possible with you. —— after parole. we can cross now to our correspondence in new york. a huge sentence for him, and a very emotional summing up from thejudge? absolutely. she said that wherever he goes he could bring destruction, and that he should never be able to walk out of prison. when she gave

that 175 year sentence, she said i have just signed your death warrant. throughout, the judge has been very clear that the things that larry nassar had done irreparable harm to this young women, so she used the sentencing hearing over the past week to give any of his accusers the right to come forward and to confront him and share their stories. now, at the beginning of this, we were told that 88 women had chosen to speak, but by the end nearly 160 decided to confront him, with their horrific and very painful stories of how he first gained their trust, and then under the guise of medical treatment, trust, and then under the guise of medicaltreatment, sexually assaulted them. and, many of them describe how they were embarrassed, and didn't know that it was medical treatment or not, and questioned it, and later, upon the realisation, described how it had really changed their ability to trust doctors, to trust other people, take even trust

the officials, that were around there as young adults, and i think it is worth pointing out, that after the sentencing, the us olympic committee says that they are going to have a third independent party look into how this abuse look went oi'i look into how this abuse look went on for so long. i wasjust going to say that the olympic committee itself is now under scrutiny, because this went on for so long? and the abuse happened to so many girls? absolutely. he was considered the most renowned, prestigious doctor who served as a team doctor in the olympics with these young women, appease them, often in public spaces, and, one of the olympic gold medallist, actually, had said that there needed to be an independent enquiry into what happened, because she did not believe that others did not have some kind of inkling of what was happening, or didn't receive any reports from any other girl, of what he was doing? and so,

this has really shaken the sport to its core, and damages repetition. you have had advertisers pulling out, young women questioning their dedication to those that they were trying to serve, and it was a really important step, here, that we hear that the us olympic committee will hold an investigation into what has happened. many thanks. for the first time ever, researchers in china have successfully created new monkeys. they use the same technology that was used to clone dolly the sheep backin was used to clone dolly the sheep back in 1996. our medical correspondence is here. tell us about the technology. as you say, the same technology that was used in

scotla nd the same technology that was used in scotland back in the 90s, more than 20 years ago it, to produce the first cloned mammal, dolly the sheep. since then, we have had pigs, cats, rats, mice but never before, a monkey. the furthest people have got, has been the embryos. this team in shanghai have managed to create these two monkeys, and i think we can seize them moving images of them playing in their incubator. there they are, died instantly —— genetically identical. they say that they hope to have a whole row of cloned monkeys, they could investigate the two genes that cause both animal and human diseases. varies, though, a great deal of worry about what this might mean? there has been ever since dolly the sheep. i remember very clearly is

covering dolly the sheep story. when people said they were on the road to human cloning. that has been a refrain to critics ever since. the only reason why this, in a sense, is novel, is because they are the first cloned nonhuman primates, so that they'd hardly processed —— so that they'd hardly processed —— so that they are the closest to humans. critics say, there you go, we are on the way to cloned humans. no reputable scientist would want to do this. it took 79 attempts. it is very inefficient, and there are lots of other genetic methods, now, for studying genes and human diseases, but the scientists say that they will do this in china in a very ethical way, and they will continue with monkeys, but, there are rather, as far as we know, no scientist who wa nt to as far as we know, no scientist who want to clone newman ‘s. as far as we know, no scientist who

want to clone newman 's. thank you, fergus. time for a look at the weather now. over the next you hours, storm georgina will be moving over. we will be left with a breezy evening and a breezy night across all parts. there will be a supply of showers, too, across northern parts. there will be some wintry nurse on high ground of scotland, maybe into the hills of the pennines, and then down into the worst hills, as well. the heaviest of the showers... the thursday, we see not too much sunshine. quite a bit of shower activity, and come the middle of the day, but further north than that, andindeed day, but further north than that, and indeed across the eastern side of england, it is not a bad day. temperatures will be up to at best around ten, but feeling pretty fresh, further north. more details

about the weekend can be found on the bbc website. you're watching beyond 100 days on pbs. larry nassar, the former team doctor of usa gynamastics, is sentenced to up to 175 years injail. thejudge said she had "signed his death warrant" for the serial abuse of young women who were entrusted to his care. one after another, the victims had taken the stand to explain how nassar used his position to molest girls who were seeking medical help. we were ultimately strong enough to take you down, not one by one, but by an army of survivors. i will carry your words with me for the rest of my days. president trump heads to davos but wherever he goes, the dark cloud of robert mueller seems to follow him. also on the programme... reports of lewd behaviour at a men's only charity event in london draws fierce condemnation.
